Darko sat cross-legged under the big tree in the yard, paying no attention to the other disciples in white who were walking by. Under the surprised gazes of these disciples, he used ancient body refining to repair his injured body. During the process of Darko movement, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually gathered towards him, seeping into his muscles, bones, flesh and blood, slowly forcing the blood stasis caused by internal injuries out of the body through his pores. All the fourth-generation disciples of Taixuan Sect living in this courtyard are no longer surprised by Darko's behavior. In their eyes, Darko is a practicing madman who often leaves himself covered with bruises. Strengthening the muscles and bones is the ancient way to get started in this discipline. The vitality of heaven and earth is ultimately the power of the outside world. However, in order to generate your own power within the body, you must use the vitality of heaven and earth from the outside to stimulate your muscles, bones, flesh and blood. It wasn't until the sun was at its peak that Darko opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of dark black blood, and the breath in his body became smoother. Alexius Olson's palm used the Wuding method of breaking mountains. Although it was a low-level Taoist technique, if it was practiced to a deep level, it could also have great power to break mountains and crack rocks. Darko was shaken internally by Alexius Olson's blow and immediately suffered internal injuries. After healing through exercises, his injuries were 80% better. Darko, who has practiced ancient body-refining techniques, has a very strong body's recovery power, and his body's strength is at least one or two times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Darko stood up from the ground and looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, I hope I can still make it in time!" The clear water cold pool a hundred miles away, even if the time spent on catching the green phosphorus carp is not included, is The journey back is quite tiring. The five major realms of cultivation are awakening oneself, transcending the world, resisting the void, being demigod, and becoming a saint. The realm of awakening oneself is the first step for practitioners to take the path of cultivation, and it is the stage in which the potential of cultivation is awakened. Among the thousands of ordinary people, there are not many people who can truly cultivate and are expected to become strong. The realm of awakening oneself is a threshold. If you cannot cross this threshold, it means that you have no potential to cultivate and have not become a person. The qualifications of a strong man are always that of an ordinary person. Practitioners in this realm, who are practicing Taoism, generally cannot fly in the air unless special means are used, such as using magical weapons. Like Darko, who practices ancient physical refining techniques and takes the path of using force to defy the heavens. If he wants to fly in the air, he must practice to the realm of controlling the void. Otherwise, we will just keep running on the ground! After walking out of the yard, Darko headed down the mountain. The Bishui Hantan, between two small peaks a hundred miles away, is a strange place in the Taixuan Mountains. The lake is freezing cold all year round, but it never freezes. Because the water in the pool is too cold, there are basically no water creatures in the cold pool. However, in this biting cold pool, there is a low-level monster, the Jade Phosphorus Carp. How low-level is this monster? He is so low-level that he has not yet developed spiritual intelligence, and he only relies on instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to carry out simple cultivation. If there is anything special about this monster, it is that it is stronger, can shoot water arrows from its mouth, and has some attack power. The people of Taixuan Sect capture this low-level monster not for food, but for the monster pill in the belly of the green phosphorus carp. After more than an hour of climbing over mountains and ridges, Darko appeared on a stone wall next to the cold blue water pool. Looking at the pool below, feeling the cold air blowing towards his face, Darko frowned. The water surface more than ten meters below was as calm as a mirror. The color of the water in the pool is not blue, but black. This means that the water in the pool is very deep and has no bottom. Look around again, the hundred-acre cold pond is so quiet that there is no wave, like a piece of jasper inlaid between two stone peaks. The cold pool is surrounded by rocks of all sizes. This is a black rock, as black as ink. On the rocks, there are no green plants growing or any vegetation coverage. It wasn't until a hundred feet away from the edge of the pool that the green that should be seen in the mountains appeared. The cold pool of clear water can only be described with two words: "dead silence". Darko took a deep breath and jumped up on the rock. Then, like an arrow, his head and feet landed in the pool. There was no splash on the water, only circles of ripples. The pond water gives people a feeling as heavy as mercury, and it is difficult to stir up any wind. Even the ripples that appear to spread quickly disappear on the water. Although Darko was well prepared, he still felt uncomfortable the moment he jumped into the pool, as if he was suddenly surrounded by a mass of ice water. To be precise, the water in the Blue Water Cold Pool was a bit colder than the ice water. . He only felt countless tiny cold air, which seemed to be spiritual, drilling straight into his pores. The extreme cold made Darko feel as if his skin was being torn. Running the ancient body-refining techniques, Darko's muscles all over his body trembled slightly, generating waves of hot air to counter the unbearable cold air. Darko can control every muscle and every bone on his body. The benefits of a strong body were now revealed in Darko. Without any Tao power to protect his body, he directly entered the cold blue water pool. Among the fourth generation disciples of Taixuan Sect, only Darko dared to do this. If it were any other fourth-generation disciple, if he didn't use Taoist power to protect his body, he would probably freeze as soon as he entered the cold blue water pool and sink to the bottom of the pool. The green phosphorus carp grows in the cave wall a hundred meters below the cold pool of clear water. Therefore, you cannot catch the green phosphorus carp by fishing, you have to go into the water. Darko quickly dived into the extremely cold water. As the depth increased, the light in the water gradually dimmed. When holes appeared one after another on the dark stone wall, Darko stopped diving. With the faint light, he could just see whether there were any green phosphorus carps in the holes. If you dive any further, your eyes will lose their function, and it will be difficult to catch the green phosphorus carp in the dark water just by feeling. Less than half an hour passed. Darko searched hundreds of holes and didn't see even a single fish scale. This made him depressed and also a little puzzled. "Gulu!" A string of bubbles popped up in Darko's mouth. His body was strong enough to allow him to hold his breath in the water for half an hour. When he spurted out in one breath, it meant that he had to come out of the water to take a breath. Darko used his hands and feet to paddle in the water and swam toward the surface. "If I can reach the stage of muscle-changing and body-refining, with all my meridians connected, it would be normal to hold my breath in the water for several hours."Darko thought to himself. He took a breath, dived again, and then searched. The common green phosphorus carp seemed to have disappeared, and Darko felt something was wrong. When he came out of the water for a third breath, and then dived into the pool again, he found a huge cave. The reason why it is said to be big is that this cave is much larger than the holes in the rock wall where the green phosphorus carps hide. The cave is two feet in diameter, the entrance is round, and the walls are black rocks that look like ink. All new disciples have been warned that the cold pool of clear water is bottomless, and the huge cave on the underwater rock wall has no idea where it leads, so be sure not to go deep. There was no light in the pitch-black cave, and in the faint light coming from the pool, it looked like a huge mouth that could swallow up everything around it at any time. Darko looked at the cave in front of him and felt depressed for no reason. He carefully swam through the cave. However, at this moment, Darko suddenly felt an undercurrent surging out of the cave, causing him to lose all his body. Vaguely, in the pitch-black cave, two misty light spots were seen moving quickly from the cave towards the entrance, and dozens of strange fish about one foot long, glowing with green light, rushed out of the cave like arrows. , fleeing in panic beside Gu Fei. That is…… These exotic fish with emerald-like crystal clear scales are the jade phosphorus carp that cannot be found in Darko. However, at this time, Darko didn't care about him anymore, but he saw in the dark cave, a black shadow as thick as a bucket, quickly emerged from the cave, setting off a powerful force of water pressure, impacting In Darko's body, an unknown sense of oppression surged into his heart. Monster! Darko's heart was shocked. The freezing cold water did not make his hair stand on end. But now, the hair all over his body exploded in an instant. When he looked closely, he saw the two light spots that appeared in the cave. It turned out to be the two eyes of the monster beast, the size of a fist, glowing with a faint green light. "Let's go!" Without thinking, Darko whole body muscles tightened violently, and then exploded. His hands and feet paddled upward with all his strength. The powerful muscle power acted on the water, and Darko's body immediately shot towards the water like an arrow from a string. Rush away. Soon enough, with a "whoosh!", a black shadow rushed out of the cave and rushed past Darko's feet. The black shadow was more than ten feet long and as thick as a bucket. The distance of 100 meters is very short, but in water, with the resistance of water, people move slower. With a quick dash, Darko rushed up twenty or thirty meters in the water. When paddling his hands and feet with all his strength, Darko only needed to burst out of the body's power three times to jump out of the water, but he could only burst out once and only have the chance to burst out once. The muscles all over his body contracted again, but before they had time to explode, Darko felt his waist tighten, as if he was being strangled by a huge and extremely tough rope. There was a pain in his chest and abdomen, and with that closed breath, It spurted out immediately, gurgling a string of bubbles and rising towards the water. In just an instant, Darko was entangled by the monster that rushed out of the cave, and then was pulled into the dark cave on the rock wall. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into this unknown place. In the cave somewhere, there are only a few water bubbles rising toward the water.
