Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The demonic energy surged into Li Yao’s body like a torrential tide!

He was filled with an incomparable feeling; compared to absorbing the pitiful amount of spiritual energy in the medical tent, where he could only do so by spending a tremendous amount of effort, this was far more comfortable!

Li Yao was wild with joy. The four spirit threads revolved constantly as more demonic energy was sucked into his body. Rolling through Ou Yezi’s tree of memories, the demonic energy was purified into the purest of spiritual energy, which thereafter surged into every part of his body, constantly filling each strand of his muscles, every blood vessel, and every cell of his body with spiritual energy!

Every second, his body would become stronger. With every passing second, his body evolved by a level!

“This is too strong!”

Li Yao clenched his fists in inexplicable joy, as he felt the fearsome strength surging through his fingers.

He had a vague feeling that if the spiritual energy was stimulated to the limit and blasted through this fist, the destructive force might very well be ten times stronger than the past!

In the past, he could only rely on physical strength.

But now, he had instead become the vast universe, one of the endless stars, making it possible for him to fire the world’s energy!

In just a short span of one hour, Li Yao had engulfed an incredibly huge amount of demonic energy. Every single one of his cells had been filled to the point that he could not absorb even one more speck of red light.

Just like how a human’s appetite had a limit, the amount of spiritual energy a cultivator could absorb also had a limit. One could never engulf endlessly and completely absorb the spiritual energy in the world.

If the spiritual energy was absorbed blindly and not refined, it would more than likely lead to oversaturation of spiritual energy, which would result in “Spiritual Energy Poisoning”.

Much like drinking too much water would lead to “Water Intoxication”.

In serious cases, it could even lead to overflowing of the spiritual energy, causing the meridians to be torn which may very well lead to Qigong deviation!

After Li Yao had absorbed a huge amount of demonic energy, it was enough to allow him to continuously advance three levels.

He was very well aware of the principle of biting off more than one could chew. He restrained his greedy thoughts and jumped down from the lump of iron with a long howl.

“Well?”

An incomparably strange scene entered his vision, leaving him gawking.

What he saw was the Black Wing Sword vertically floating and gradually rotating in the air. From the inside of its scabbard, three black spirit threads had grown out and were absorbing the demonic energy.

And the way it was doing it was exactly the same as when Li Yao was cultivating!

No! On a closer look, Li Yao noticed that the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of the Black Wing Sword was far more than his!

When he was using to absorb the spiritual energy, the spirit threads were only entwined around his body and moved slowly.

In contrast, the spirit threads of the Black Wing Sword were spread out, and every thread was like a spring which coiled round after round to form an incomparably strange spiral made of spirit threads.

Obviously, under the same length, the Black Wing Sword’s spirit threads could touch far more specks of red light than him, thereby having ten times more efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy than Li Yao!

“Can magical equipment also cultivate on their own?”

“Moreover, the cultivation exercise is obviously an upgraded version of the !”

“Is Little Black imitating me after watching me cultivate? And while at it, did it just upgrade the ?”

“T-this is too terrifying!”

Li Yao was stupefied for a long time. Suddenly, he reacted; his complexion changed as he screamed, “This is not good, Little Black! Quickly stay your hand… This is not right, quickly close your mouth… This is also not right! Whatever, you quickly stop!”

The Black Wing Sword suddenly stopped absorbing as its three black spirit threads coiled around each other and moved towards Li Yao. Obviously, it was greatly dissatisfied.

Li Yao impatiently ran next to it, and having sensed the density of the demonic energy, he explained:
