Chapter 537 Further progress in cultivation

Shang Xia initially speculated that cultivating on this mountain where the four seasons were together, under ideal conditions, it was very likely that he would increase his cultivation efficiency to four times the original level, and his whole person fell into incredible excitement.

Although he himself understood that there were too many conditions to meet for this too perfect idea, it was almost impossible to achieve, but even if it could only maintain three times the cultivation speed, it was enough to shock people to the point where it was difficult to control themselves.

You know, generally speaking, a place that can increase the efficiency of cultivation by one or two percent is enough for people to break their heads to grab it, just like the battlefield of the two realms.

A place that can increase the cultivation speed of a warrior by three or four percent is enough to become the foundation of a party's forces, just like the Tongyou Xuan Realm to the Tongyou Academy.

And if there is a sect that has a secret realm that can increase the cultivation efficiency of a martial artist by more than 50%, and can successfully guard it, then this sect must have the foundation of the holy land, and this secret realm will also be called a blessed land.

And if Shang Xia could really increase the cultivation efficiency to three times the original here, it would be simply unimaginable.

However, when Shang Xia officially began to cultivate on this mountain peak, he realized that even three times the cultivation efficiency was almost a luxury for him.

With the help of the four ready-made heaven and earth spirits symbolizing the four seasons, Shang Xia successfully integrated his own qi into this huge mountain with his huge divine will and what he understood from the "Heaven and Man Induction Chapter", so that he could swallow a huge amount of heaven and earth qi and as much heaven and earth origin as possible during the cultivation process.

But even so, Shang Xia could only barely maintain a cultivation efficiency that was nearly twice as high as before.

Although the twice speed of cultivation was still shocking, it was a bit difficult for Shang Xia, who originally had higher expectations, to accept.

There are many reasons for this gap, but the more obvious and the most important reason is two points.

First, the origin of heaven and earth here is still too thin after all.

It should be noted that the Shang Xia Four Sha initiates are actually a process of combining multiple factors, in which his cultivation speed is ultimately subject to the biggest shortcoming of his many cultivation factors.

The second is because although Shang Xia can cover the entire mountain with his own qi, this mountain peak itself is a thousand times more than Shang Xia's personal, he can connect his qi to the entire mountain, but he cannot control the details of each vital energy flow.

This made Shang Xia's cultivation process, although he could form a massive amount of vitality swallowing and exhaling spectacles, it would also cause great waste, ultimately affecting the efficiency of cultivation.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, that is, just like Yu Xifeng at the beginning, a forbidden formation was set up around this mountain peak to prevent the leakage of vitality as much as possible.

Although this kind of "waste" cannot be completely prohibited, it can also avoid the loss of cultivation efficiency to the greatest extent.

Just arranging a formation that can cover the entire mountain peak, even the simplest formation requires a lot of material resources, not to mention whether it is worth it, in the current situation, Shang Xia has no way to do it at all.

As for the third point, Shang Xia was completely helpless.

This way of his practice was extremely destructive to the vegetation on this mountain.

Shang Xia also discovered this point after he began to practice.

Although the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Technique" practiced by Shang Xia is extremely mysterious in itself, it is very mysterious

to be able to reenact the four seasons in some spaces.

Even if Shang Xia can achieve the alternation of reincarnation and repeated withering and prosperity, it cannot achieve true endless life, and in this process, it will eventually cause the loss of vitality until it is difficult to recover.

In the long run, Shang Xia's martial arts cultivation may continue to improve, but this mountain will probably be extinguished and become a dead mountain, and it will be difficult to recover for decades or even hundreds of years.

Although the severance of a mountain's vitality in exchange for the rapid progress of one's own cultivation seems to be extremely cost-effective on the surface, after all, with Shang Xia's current strength, an entire mountain peak can be razed to the ground with just one palm.

However, Shang Xia had a feeling that it was best to do less of this kind of life-destroying thing.

Because of this, it was difficult for Shang Xia to completely let go of his hands and feet, and to use the vegetation full of mountains to evolve and reincarnate, and smelt the four seasons of spiritual evil.

However, despite these constraints, under twice the usual cultivation efficiency, Shang Xia's refining speed of the four spiritual demons symbolizing the four seasons was greatly increased, and his own cultivation and strength naturally rose.

Two months passed in an instant, during which Shang Xia spent the rest of his time on the top of this high mountain shrouded in thick clouds and mist, except for patrolling within a radius of tens of miles every three to five days.

However, in these two months, it was not completely uneventful, during a certain inspection in the first month, Shang Xia encountered a local master from Manyu Zhou Lu.

When Shang Xia noticed that someone had broken into his divine will perception range, the distance between the two sides had already been reduced to within thirty miles before he could react, and the man also sensed Shang Xia's existence at this time.

The person who came immediately staggered and slowed down, while Shang Xia also changed his direction slightly, always drawing an arc along the territory he was guarding in the process of flying away, indicating his sphere of influence to the other party.

The person who came was always silent and restrained, always maintaining a buffer distance of twenty or thirty miles from Shang Xia, and finally drew a small circle along the sphere of influence guarded by Shang Xia before finding his own direction and leaving.

There was no communication between the two from beginning to end, and although there was mutual perception and penetration between the gods and wills, they always maintained a minimum of restraint.

However, after the other party left, Shang Xia suddenly woke up, and this person might have come to deliberately test his details.

Although this person is the aura of a native warrior of the Manyuzhou Mainland, who can guarantee that he is not a master in the mysterious third-party foreign forces?

If You Shang's judgment was correct at the beginning, then Su Jinyuan must be a person from a third-party foreign force, so how could this person be an unknown person among them who was only half a step away from stepping into the realm of the Fourth Heaven Great Perfection?

Once this person was found dead, the other party would definitely come back to investigate, and almost all the fourth-order masters active in the snowy mountains and mountains at this time were suspicious.

Fortunately, You Shang joined forces with Shang Xia to ambush Su Jinyuan that day, the two sides passed through most of the snow-capped mountain ranges, and the place where the incident occurred was extremely far away from here, and Shang Xia's ability to hide his qi was not bad, and the other party might not be able to detect any clues.

Moreover, all this is just speculation, and the other party may not really be the person from the third-party foreign force.

But if the guess is true, doesn't it mean that You Shang did not pretend to be the dead Su Jinyuan, or that he failed to pretend to be and was discovered

Portion?

Thinking of this possibility, Shang Xia's heart couldn't help but sink again.

However, based on Shang Xia's understanding of You Shang, even if the fake fails, as long as he is not deliberately targeted and besieged, then he will definitely be able to retreat.

The appearance of this person made Shang Xia really nervous for a few days, but after a few days, it was still calm, and Shang Xia also left this person behind and continued to shift his attention to cultivation.

In the second month, Shang Xia encountered two fourth-order masters who had crossed the border again, one of them had already been frightened by Shang Xia before he got close, while the other made a move with Shang Xia in the air, and finally retreated.

However, Shang Xia saw from that move that the other party should also be a Cangyu martial artist, but he didn't know where the other party came from, and whether he had also seen through the identity of Shang Xia's Cangyu martial artist.

In addition, in the past two months, Shang Xia once again received two secret talismans from the Tongyou Residence.

For the first time, in addition to telling the increasingly chaotic situation in Manyuzhou Lu, it also informed the Shang Xia garrison that it was preparing to expand its sphere of influence, expanding the previous radius of nearly 1,200 miles to 1,500 miles.

In this way, if everything goes well, when the final moment comes, Youzhou may capture a large land island with a radius of about two thousand miles.

After hearing this news, Shang Xia's eyes couldn't help but look at the area he was guarding through the thick clouds on the mountain peak he had cultivated.

The air handover of a large land island, without the assistance of a large secret realm fortress such as the blessed land, would inevitably cause a great burden on the fifth-order ancestor, which should also be the fundamental reason why Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue only chose to lay the formation foundation in the leyline within 1,200 miles of land in Manyuzhou after careful calculation.

And now that this scope has been suddenly expanded, there are only two possibilities, one is that Tongyou Academy has an additional fifth-order ancestor to help, and the other is that Tongyou Xuan Realm has been promoted to Tongyou Blessed Land in one fell swoop.

The latter one is obviously unlikely, so only the former is the root cause.

But at present, the only one who is most likely to be promoted to the Fifth Heaven in Tongyou Academy is Shang Bo, and according to Shang Xia's previous determination, the area he is guarding now is most likely Shang Bo's secret cultivation place.

So the question is, how did Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong determine the current state of Shangbo and decide to expand the scope of extradition to Lu Island?

Even if Shang Bo had other ways to contact Yun Jing, Kou Chongxue and others, Shang Xia thought that it was impossible to hide his perception in this area.

And Shang Xia personally brought the "Linxiao Shen Gang" to Manyu Zhou Lu and handed it over to Yun Jing, so Shang Bo must be in Manyu Zhou Lu.

Then there is only one possibility, the area he is guarding is not the place where Shang Bo is hiding, and whether it is You Shang before or Shang Xia now, it is just a hidden pawn thrown by Tongyou Academy.

It's a chess piece again......

Shang Xia frowned slightly, if his guess came true, then where was the real location of Grandpa Shangbo's hidden cultivation, there should be three people in the entire Tongyou Academy who knew exactly Kou Chongxue, Ji Wenlong, and Yun Jing!

After all, it was still their first few old guys!

After drawing such an inference, Shang Xia lost the mind of cultivation, and in his heart, he suddenly turned into a style of knife technique that he had understood while cultivating, and under the huge cloud that shrouded the top of the Four Seasons Peak, heavy snow suddenly fell all over the sky, like a blade sprinkled on the enemy.

"Twenty-four solar term divine sword" style 21 - heavy snow!
