After setting up the formation, Ling Xiao walked into the cave.
The cave was not deep, and there were many stalactites in it. It seemed that this cave was formed naturally, not the den of some beasts.
“Let’s cultivate here.”
After searching around the cave, Ling Xiao confirmed that there was no danger here. Only then, he relaxed.
It was just that this cave was full of dust because no one lived here all year round.
He cleaned this cave a little, then took out the ice bed he got earlier.
He had seen the words written by the ancient martial artist on the ice-bed before. He was going to see what was written now.
Moreover, cultivating on the ice bed, the cultivation speed would increase by about 30 to 40%, which was another reason why he took the ice bed.
Because it was too dark inside the cave, Ling Xiao also set up a simple Light Absorption Formation. Like this, the cave could be kept bright for twelve hours a day.
It could absorb the sunlight during the day, and moonlight and starlight at night. Although it had no attack or defense effect, it was very practical.
This was also one of his achievements on this trip.
After looking around, he felt that the preparation was complete, so he sat on the ice bed.
At that moment, a bone-piercing chill came from the ice bed, causing Ling Xiao to shiver uncontrollably.
Fortunately, he had cultivated ice-attributed true essence before, therefore, it was not too difficult to get used to it. If it was someone else, they might have jumped off the ice bed, basically unable to cultivate.
Sitting cross-legged, Ling Xiao began to incorporate the ice bed’s cold qi into his body.
Although this cold qi was powerful, he had the nine veins spiritual body bestowed by the Landscape Martial Soul, that could accept any spiritual qi.
Even if it was such a cold qi, he could still convert and absorb it.
The true essence continuously circulated in his meridians, and with every circulation, the cold qi would weaken a little as if it was devoured away.
After seven times seven, forty-nine cycles, Ling Xiao could feel that the cold qi that originated from the ice bed had been completely integrated into his true essence.
Another breakthrough!
Ling Xiao opened his eyes, revealing a look of joy.
Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm!
It came so naturally!
He hastily closed his eyes again, then used his soul power to look inside his body., At this moment, he could clearly see the true essence of his nine martial veins.
The true essence of the body originated from these nine martial veins. Therefore, martial veins were very important.
At this time, in the nine martial veins, not only the total amount of true essence had increased a lot, but more importantly, the concentration had also become bigger and bigger. The originally gaseous state had a vague feeling of stickiness.
Such a dense true essence, in terms of the pure total amount, is not inferior to the amount possessed by Rank Seven Transcendent Realm martial artists.
Even in terms of quality, it might not be inferior to Rank Six Transcendent Realm martial artists.
His current flaw was just his cultivation base.
Without a sufficient cultivation base, the true essence wouldn’t be able to exert its original effect. So, running into Rank Six Transcendent Realm martial artist now, he was still not the other party’s opponent.
However, running into Initial Rank Five Transcendent Realm martial artists, he would have the strength to fight.
And below Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm, no one could injure him, let alone become his opponent.
Even among Rank Four Transcendent Realm martial artists, other than some freaks, most martial artists couldn’t be his opponent.
Naturally, this was just his human form’s combat power.
If he entered Half Dragon Form, he dared to say that he would be invincible below Peak Rank Four Transcendent Realm. He would even be able to fight against most Rank Five Transcendent Realm martial artists.
Once he entered the Ancient Golden Dragon Form, no one below Peak Rank Five Transcendent Realm would be able to defeat him.
At that time, he could resist even if his opponent was a Rank Six Transcendent Realm martial artist.
After opening his eyes again, he could feel that he had benefited a lot during this trip. The hard work of these past few days seemed very hard, but the harvest was also very satisfying.
He could feel that even without the Hundred Year Nine Dragon Essence Temper Pill, as long as he persisted like this, he would be able to break through to Rank Four Transcendent Realm soon. It would absolutely not take a month, at most a few days.
Merely, after the improvement of his cultivation base, the low-grade True Essence Pills basically had no effect on him. Now, he had to start using mid-grade True Essence Pills to restore his consumed true essence.
Fortunately, other than the top-grade True Essence Pills, he had a lot of high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade True Essence Pills. He had enough to use for a month or two.
“Since I have just made a breakthrough, it’s not good to continue to advance for the time being. Let’s consolidate my cultivation first.”
Ling Xiao thought for a while, then gave up his plan to refine the Hundred Year Nine Dragon Essence Temper Pill. He decided to consolidate his cultivation base of Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm first before refining it.
Now, he truly wanted to cultivate the secret technique, <Flying Dragon Wings>.
Once he could fly, he would have a huge advantage below Heavenly Realm, and his survival chance would increase greatly.
Thinking of this, he took out the bamboo scroll from the Landscape World.
When he was in the ancient martial artist’s cave-dwelling, he had just checked the brief summary. He hadn’t looked at it carefully. At this time, there was no one to disturb him, so he could practice properly.
Naturally, escaping was only one aspect.
Regardless of when and where, the human beings’ dream of soaring through the nine heavens was very strong.
When Ling Xiao was very young, he would be very excited whenever he saw birds flying in the sky, thinking how great it would be if he was also able to fly in the sky someday.
Later, this was one of his purposes for cultivating movement techniques.
Unfortunately, even an outstanding technique like Cloud Dragon Divine Walk could just achieve a long-distance glide. It was still not enough to achieve a real flight.
In the current Profound Realm, only Heavenly Realm martial artists had completely grasped the law of flight.
Even possessing a flying-type martial soul was inferior to flight-type secret techniques.
If he wanted to step into the Heavenly Realm now, then that was too far away, after all, he had not even stepped into the Celestial Realm.
However, this flight secret technique was an exception.
This kind of thing was a very rare secret technique even in ancient times.
Now in the Profound Realm, it was even rarer among the rare. It could just be encountered, not sought.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement, then opened the bamboo scroll.
When the bamboo scroll was opened, Ling Xiao noticed a soul power rushing toward him.
This soul power entered his brain, and a shocking scene appeared in his mind.
It was a flying dragon.
A huge flying dragon!
It could be said that a flying dragon was a subspecies dragon, created from the cross between a divine dragon and a crocodile. Although it was not as powerful as a divine dragon, it was more terrifying than ordinary beasts because of its dragon bloodline.
The huge body of the flying dragon had two huge wings that directly blotted out the sky. Those wings were more than dozens of meters long. When it flew through the sky, a huge shadow would be left on the ground.
Standing in the shadow, the human beings seemed very weak as if they were ants, which made people feel a little difficult to breathe.
