Chapter 33: Cultivating Qi for Ten Layers

  Wang Tao's hands quickly formed a seal and suddenly pulled!

  "Hum!"

  Only to see the space like water suddenly splashing ripples, the nameless knife came directly through the air and fell into Wang Tao's hand! At this time, Wang Tao's face was as cold as ice with endless killing intent, a piercing sound of breaking through the air pierced the ear, the knife light flashed and hacked towards Xinmo!

  Perhaps because his movements were too fast, the Heart Demon didn't react in the slightest, and was directly cleaved in two as if it couldn't dodge! This scene caused Wang Tao to be stunned for a moment - could the Heart Demon really be so fragile? However, right before his eyes, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared. Only to see that the Heart Demon's transformed body, which had been split into two halves by Wang Tao, began to squirm and twist, and in an instant it directly turned into a cloud of black smoke, only to then merge back together and restore its original form!

  Wang Tao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his muscles tensed up, and he stared at the demon in his heart with an incredulous face: "Not destroyed body!?"

  "Hah! What's with the indestructible body?" He twisted his neck, and a sly smile appeared on Heart Demon's face as he asked.

  "Isn't that an indestructible body? Then why can you reform your body? Are you a shapeless heavenly demon?" Upon hearing that it wasn't that kind of perverted indestructible body, Wang Tao subconsciously let out a sigh of relief and asked.

  "Invisible heavenly demon? Hahaha......" The heart demon couldn't help but burst out laughing at Wang Tao's serious face, tears streaming down! (Don't ask me how the heart demon has tears, I don't know either)

  "Isn't it?" Wang Tao didn't know why his heart demon was laughing. Was what he said really that funny?

  "Hmph, since you're about to die anyway, I'll make an exception and tell you! Don't be misled by your past life, those things can't be compared to us! The heart demon is just a thought, a notion born from the mind of a thinking being. We don't have a physical body, but we are naturally spiritual entities! Right now, I exist in your brain as a spiritual entity...". The heart demon guffawed and sneered, "Besides, you're an outsider who seized this body, it wasn't yours to begin with, so returning it to me is only natural!"

  "Heaven's will? I'll show you the heaven's will of my ancestors for 8,000 generations!" Upon hearing "heaven's will", Wang Tao's anger surged up instantly, and that crazy intention rose again.

  Wang Tao has always been a person who hates the will of heaven, what is the will of heaven? Get out! Is it the will of heaven that he became an orphan? Is it the will of heaven that his life is so bleak? Is it the will of heaven...

  "Hmm, seems like I've hit your sore spot! But why did you end up believing that blind man's words?" Xīn Mó curiously looked at the flustered Wáng Tāo and smiled.

  "Wait... what did you just say? Are you a spirit body? In my mind?" Wang Tao suddenly reacted and asked in a daze.

  For some reason, the demon in his heart suddenly had a bad feeling! So he didn't answer, but carefully looked around, and that bad feeling came from somewhere in this human's mind!

  "Haha......" Wang Tao suddenly burst out laughing, and at this moment, he stared straight at the nameless knife in his hand. This was a nameless knife that was slightly different from the real nameless knife, it was actually the Soul Knife!

  "Synthetic system!" Wang Tao shouted in his heart, and in an instant, a chessboard-like object covered the sky and sun, heading straight for the Heart Devil's Mask!

  Wang Tao wants to use the synthesis system to synthesize the heart demon directly!

  "No!" The synthetic system was too mysterious and too powerful, the heart demon didn't even have a chance to resist before being absorbed, only managing to let out a terrified and unwilling cry, ultimately unable to escape the synthetic system's grasp! It can be said that this is the most unfortunate heart demon in the world...

  "Haha! I didn't think the synthesis system was a super treasure that could defend against the soul of the Brain Sea! Wang Tao's face lit up with excitement as he stared at the fluctuating black smoke in the synthesis system, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Look at you still jumping around, daring to say it's heaven's will, has retribution arrived? Haha, watch me merge you into my Soul Knife!"

  With evil intentions, Wang Tao directly placed the Soul Knife in the main position of the synthesis interface. However, he didn't use the synthesis system to synthesize it, but instead let the Soul Knife absorb on its own! After all, the current level of the synthesis system couldn't synthesize yellow-grade items yet!

  "Hum!"

  The Soul Blade quivered, and from its body began to emit strands of gray mist that enveloped the black smoke.

  "Huh?"

  Before the Soul Knife came into contact with the black smoke, Wang Tao had already exited the spiritual space. At this moment, when the gray gas thread touched the black smoke, Wang Tao suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and a comfortable feeling that made him involuntarily let out a moan surged towards his heart!

  "This is... I'm advancing in cultivation!? Absorbing the Heart Demon's power can actually directly advance my cultivation?" Wang Tao was stunned, but the spiritual energy rapidly surging towards him from all around was unmistakable!

  "Not good, the spiritual energy here is not enough to support my breakthrough in cultivation. This opportunity is rare and cannot be wasted! Before long, Wang Tao discovered that the incoming spiritual energy was dwindling, and his heart couldn't help but feel anxious. However, he quickly thought of a solution, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of elixirs and demon crystals appeared before him. He then sat down cross-legged on top of them!"

  With sufficient spiritual energy supply, the breakthrough speed is terrifyingly fast! Moreover, the soul knife in the mind has been controlled and absorbed by Wang Tao's spirit, making it even more rapid!

  Wang Tao only felt that the true energy in his body was rising step by step, as if he was climbing a heavenly ladder, with no end in sight!

  "I've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage in terms of my soul's boundary, so breaking through won't be a problem!"

  Just as Wang Tao had thought, the breakthrough was extremely smooth, and he subtly followed the method of "Huanxian Record" to operate without any bottleneck, directly crossing over, and the seventh layer of Qi Refining!

  Breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, Wang Tao's determination to advance showed no signs of stopping. His heart was filled with excitement as he roared silently: "Keep going! Break through, and best if I can directly reach the Foundation Establishment stage!" Although this was his wish, it was merely a fantasy on his part. No matter how much he advanced, he would never be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, for breaking through to that stage required not only a complete mastery of Qi Refining, but also a Foundation Establishment Pill!

  The Dan medicine and demon crystal under him turned into flying ash one by one, Wang Tao's cultivation rose to an unprecedented level... Eighth layer of Qi Refining stage... Ninth layer of Qi Refining stage!

  Up until now, Wang Tao's cultivation had already reached the 9th layer of Qi Refining Realm, but the speed of his improvement was starting to slow down!

  "It can't end like this, at the very least I must reach the 10th layer of Qi Refining!" Wang Tao roared in his heart. The 10th and 9th layers were absolutely two different levels within the Qi Refining stage. Not only could one barely use a magic tool at the 10th layer, but they could also fly with it, this was what he valued! Every person had a dream of flying, and Wang Tao was no exception!

  "Give me a breakthrough!" External forces couldn't make Wang Tao break through again, but he had a way in his mind! At this time, the black air still had half that hadn't been absorbed by the Soul Knife. Wang Tao's eyes turned red with excitement, like a gambler, and suddenly urged the Soul Knife to fully decompose the black smoke, wanting to make a breakthrough to the 10th layer of Qi Refining in one go!

  "Hum!~" As if in response to Wang Tao's angry roar, the Soul Knife trembled, and its entire body suddenly burst out with a dense gray glow, instantly wrapping around the black smoke, beginning to refine and decompose at the fastest speed!

  "Crack..." A silent crack resounded in Wang Tao's heart, a warning. The next moment, Wang Tao's body suddenly began to absorb the heaven and earth's energy like a black hole, at the same time absorbing the remaining spiritual energy of the Dan medicine crystal under his body...
