Chapter 147 Advancement to Foundation Establishment, Subduing the Demons
Inside a cave on an unnamed mountain peak.
The Foundation Establishment Turtle Demon with its turtle shell on its back, and the other Foundation Establishment Sea Demon with a blue horn and silver scales all over its body, stared in horror at the silver python that was exuding the pressure of the Core Formation stage.
Under the shock of the Core Formation stage spiritual power, the circulation of spiritual energy within their bodies became extremely difficult, as if they had been injected with a large amount of molten iron and lead.
Their bodies became unusually heavy.
"Hand over your soul blood..."
Lin Li was very satisfied with Chi Jia's actions. He had quickly recruited two more Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters, both of whom were in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
The Reincarnation Disc will now grant two more bloodlines of rank two or higher.
Furthermore, he would have two more Foundation Establishment servants under his command.
Now that I can command four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, I can be considered to have some influence.
However, those three Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters cannot be exposed yet.
If the Blackwater Demon King sends any message, it would be best to find out about his subordinates and gather more information to recruit more Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters to your side.
With the help of the Myriad Treasures Devouring Spirit Magic, controlling more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage sea demon souls shouldn't be a problem, since it won't have much impact on one's own natal soul.
With the blessing of the Myriad Treasures Devouring Spirit attribute, the amount of spiritual energy required is negligible.
The power of the abbreviation can also greatly shorten Linli's period of weakness.
When you are reincarnated in the future.
Accumulate as many entries as possible, in case you die and are reincarnated after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
When you start your next life, you will also be able to obtain a fourth-tier attribute and master a technique for the Nascent Soul stage.
As a result,
This will give you an extremely powerful trump card for survival, allowing you to protect yourself even when you are weak.
The whole process went very smoothly.
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier, mid-level bloodline, Mystic Water Spirit Turtle!]
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier, mid-range bloodline, unicorn silver-armored beast!]
On the Reincarnation Disc, a blue-armored tortoise appeared, its dark brown skin speckled with star-like blue spots, and its size was nearly three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
Another creature was a monster that looked like an otter, with a single dark blue horn on its head and covered in silver scales.
After the two Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters appeared, they could only land in a corner of the Reincarnation Disc.
"Owner."
Both the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle and the Silver Armor Beast bowed respectfully to Lin Li.
They both felt regret in their hearts.
They were originally just sea demons with few constraints. If the demon kings and ancestors of the Starry Sea could make contributions in the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea, they could receive rewards from the ancestors.
Their original plan was to devour as many human cultivators as possible and take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea Kingdom.
Then they can find an opportunity to buy pills that help them break through to higher realms, so that they will also have a chance to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Although there is only a small difference in rank between the mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment, the difference in combat power between the two is not small.
Among sea monsters, those in the late Foundation Establishment stage are always much more important to the Demon King leaders in the Core Formation stage than those in the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
Sea monsters in the late Foundation Establishment stage have the opportunity to break through to the Core Formation stage at any time.
Its cultivation level is already at the top of the Core Formation stage, and it can handle many things when used properly.
Tell me about it.
"What's the Blackwater Demon King up to these days?"
Lin Li asked.
To be honest, the bloodline Lin Li most wanted to acquire was that of the Black Water Demon King at the Core Formation stage, because a third-tier bloodline is much stronger than a second-tier bloodline.
"Replying to Master."
"The Black Water Demon King is now..."
After a while.
Listening to what the two Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators said, Lin Li realized that the Black Water Demon King they mentioned didn't seem to have much interest in the Five Poisons Sect.
Although they were only instructed to target cultivators within the Five Poisons Sect's territory, no mention was made of what to do to the sect's main gate; they were simply tasked with harvesting Foundation Establishment cultivators within the sect's borders.
However, these low-level Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters all knew very well that if the Core Formation snake demon of the Five Poisons Sect didn't care at all, it would never be possible for them to come out of the sect to take risks.
Since neither of you wants to fight, then we'll slowly force you to fight.
"You may all go and invite the Foundation Establishment sea monsters under the Blackwater Demon King's command to this place."
Lin Li then sent Qianyu Zhenren and Chijia away.
Furthermore, they should all heed the Blackwater Demon King's summons. Before they have exhausted all the Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters under the Blackwater Demon King's command, it is best not to alert him.
After all, the Blackwater Demon King currently only has seventeen Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters under his command.
Two in the late stage of foundation building, and five in the middle stage.
The rest were all sea monsters in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
If one could quietly take all these sea monsters as servants, and then subdue a few Foundation Establishment demon cultivators and human cultivators from the surrounding Five Poisons Sect, one could make up the total of twenty.

If these dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators coordinate with each other using formations, they can temporarily unleash the power of a few early Core Formation stage spells.
This is also the point that Lin Li values most.
...
...
Just half a month later.
Hama Ridge.
Inside the cave at the top of the mountain.
boom!
A massive vortex of spiritual energy, covering an area of four or five miles, suddenly formed.
The colorful halo was dazzling.
However, these spiritual radiances were all concealed by the Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators on the surrounding mountains, making them even more effective than some concealment spells.
Half an hour later.
Linli, standing in the mountaintop cave, felt the ten drops of liquid mana condensed within his body, and his cultivation in this life had advanced to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Now that he has just entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his magical power is already comparable to that of a senior early Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Most importantly, the range of its divine sense detection was nearly seven miles in one go, which is already within the detection range of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
On several mountain ranges.
Both Chi Jia and the Xuan Shui Ling Gui looked at the magical vortex above Toad Ridge with puzzled expressions.
This seems to be a celestial phenomenon that only occurs when advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Could it be that their master has only just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage?
That's not right!
He had clearly used the Core Formation Technique and supernatural powers in front of them before he was able to subdue them one by one.
Of the seventeen sea monsters under the Blackwater Demon King's command, sixteen have been subdued, leaving only one old eel demon.
Since entering the territory of the Five Poisons Sect, the old eel demon has been hiding somewhere. To this day, no other sea monster knows the old eel demon's location. It may be hiding in an excellent place within the Five Poisons Sect's territory where it can conceal itself.
Otherwise, it's impossible that so many Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters had never made contact with the other party.
The Blackwater Demon King also attached great importance to that old eel demon in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
It is said that an important task was entrusted to the other party.
Since he couldn't find it, Lin Li didn't force the issue.
"Has one of Master's Qi-refining beasts advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
The Mysterious Water Spirit Turtle seemed to understand something and said.
"That's natural."
"The power of this advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage is truly impressive!"
"Moreover, the whole process looked seamless and without any sense of obstruction."
"It is evident that the bloodline aptitude of this spirit beast of your master is extremely strong. If it is not a third-tier bloodline, it is at least a top-tier second-tier bloodline."
Red Armor nodded in agreement.
"If you and I lose our value to our master, wouldn't that mean..."
As if it had thought of something, the Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle felt a sense of urgency arise in its heart.
"We must find that hidden old eel demon as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas?"
Chi Jia asked the Xuan Shui Ling Gui beside him, his expression quite solemn, as if he was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.
This kind of drama has been staged time and time again. These sea monsters who have cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage are all more intelligent than ordinary humans, and they are well aware of the stakes involved.
Only by exerting all their strength and emerging from among the other Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters can they preserve their lives until the end.
at the same time,
Linli, inside the cave, sensed his own bloodline aptitude.
In such a short time, his bloodline has been upgraded to the top of the second tier, and he is only one step away from the third tier Core Formation stage bloodline aptitude. It is estimated that in less than ten days or half a month, the Core Formation bloodline aptitude will be achieved naturally.
"His spiritual sense is comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage."
"His magical power is barely comparable to that of a demon cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
As a spirit-eyed demon with a second-tier superior bloodline aptitude, this aptitude is quite good.
now.
With a thought, Lin Li added more than a dozen second-tier bloodline figures to his Reincarnation Disc. This time, the sea monster clan had delivered a great gift.
Now that he has successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the next step for Lin Li is to recruit the Core Formation Snake Demon and the Black Water Demon King from the Five Poisons Sect.
Both possess the bloodline of a third-tier spirit serpent. After acquiring both of them...
Lin Li could then use his innate ability of Devouring Treasures to devour all the spiritual items in the hands of these Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators, turning them into resources for his advancement to the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage.
"It's time to leave the pass and head to the Five Poisons Sect."
Lin Li is now much more confident.
Now that Wanbao Devouring Spirit's talent is present, the Five Poisons Sect's protective formation is nothing more than a paper shield to Lin Li, which can be easily punctured.
Of course, Lin Li wouldn't puncture the cover all at once; the snake demon would definitely be scared away.
After slowly devouring it for a few days, the Five Poisons Sect's Core Formation snake demon will realize that the Five Poisons Sect's protective formation won't last long, and will definitely have to think of other ways.
The Core Formation Snake Demon naturally needed to seek an opportunity for the sect to leave the mountain gate and find a way to trade with the Black Water Demon King.
...
...
The calls of deer echoed through the mountains.
Looking in the direction of the sound.
Deep within a mountain stream, a spirit deer with entirely white fur opened its eyes.
Under its watchful gaze, two Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters, one after the other, headed towards the location of the Five Poisons Sect.
"How could those two be so reckless?"
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Dare to provoke us outside the Five Poisons Sect's gates?"
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the spirit deer.
at this time.
Outside the heart on the chest of this spirit deer, there was a dark green eel, no more than an inch long, tightly attached to the heart, concealing its form and aura.
With such concealment, even a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation would be unable to detect his true whereabouts.
It can be said to be safe and worry-free.
"That's enough."
"Let them be."
"Once you hit a wall, you'll know to give up."
The old eel demon inside the spirit deer was puzzled for a moment, but then paid little attention to it.
Those Foundation Establishment sea monsters under the Blackwater Demon King's command were all his competitors.
Whoever makes the greatest contribution to the Five Poisons Sect will naturally hold the most weight in the Black Water Demon King's mind.
For so long, the old eel demon had disguised himself as one of the spirit deer in the herd and had explored every corner of the Five Poisons Sect's mountain. He carried a special spirit-testing talisman.
Its rank is not low.
Any weak point in the formation can be detected.
Hard work pays off.
The old eel demon actually found a weak point in the Five Poisons Sect's protective array at a location more than ten feet underground.
It wasn't a complete waste of all that time and effort to plan.
Even if you meet the Blackwater Demon King, you'll have something to offer so you don't leave empty-handed.
Just half an hour later.
At the edge of the herd, a spirit deer grazing leisurely suddenly showed a look of extreme surprise in its eyes.
It couldn't help but look in the direction of the Five Poisons Sect.
It seems the Five Poisons Sect's protective formation was just activated?
Based on those two Foundation Establishment stage mid-stage good-for-nothings?
The old eel demon was filled with doubt. He immediately controlled the spirit deer, which rode on black clouds and was covered in flowing wind, heading straight for the location of the Five Poisons Sect.
He wanted to see just who this expert was!
The Five Poisons Sect's protective mountain formation is extremely difficult to attack. To forcefully break through it, one would need several cultivators at the late Core Formation stage or above, and they would also need to coordinate their efforts using spirit talismans to break the restrictions.
When the old eel demon, controlling the spirit deer's body, arrived near the Five Poisons Sect...
The Five Poisons Sect's protective mountain formation, which had been opened, was restored once again, covering the entire mountain.
"Um?"
The old eel demon was taken aback.
In the instant it turned around, it saw a white fur ball nearly ten feet in size. Its single eye, several times larger than its body, immediately locked onto the spirit deer body where the old eel demon was located.
A silver-scaled python, radiating astonishing magical power, swooped out and bit the spirit deer in one gulp.
Immediately, Lin Li opened his mouth and inhaled the Devouring Spirit power into his abdomen, instantly transforming into a streak of multicolored light and disappearing from the spot.
"Finally, we caught that old eel."
"They really hid it well!"
Lin Li was completely satisfied.
This was just meant to scare the Five Poisons Sect. If they continue to entrenched themselves in the sect and refuse to come out, the mountain-protecting formation alone won't be enough to save their lives!
Ideally, it should inspire their fighting spirit.
Targeting the Blackwater Demon King, the sea monster, was the effect Lin Li wanted to see.
Having acquired two third-tier bloodlines at once, one can then focus on cultivating nearby.
When you break through to the next stage, you only need to prepare one Core Formation item.
