One-year term

  Another cultivation is complete. Mo Tian Ge opens his eyes.

  It has been a month since I entered the virtual sky realm, and nothing outside has changed.

  Ren Yu is still cultivating his Divine Dragon Secret Technique, and Qiu Zhiming is also still alive.

  Jiang Shanghang and Tang Fang must have escaped, but no one has entered the underground palace yet. Perhaps after the underground palace was closed, even Yuan Ying cultivators couldn't open the entrance, so Ren Yu and Feng were so certain.

  A person was locked in the palace, and even the wind felt unenthusiastic. Not only did he not kill Qiu Zhiming, but he also deliberately created a waterproof boundary to keep him alive.

  Qiu Zhiming saw him gradually lose his killing intent and put down a lot in his heart, and slowly began to cultivate.

  From the perspective of a bystander, Qiu Zhiming should not die for the time being. No one knows how long they will be trapped in this underground palace, and Ren Yu wants to keep him company, so Qiu Zhiming won't die. Perhaps Ren Yu even thinks he needs a servant, and he will give Qiu Zhiming some benefits later on.

  Of course, these things are currently of little relevance to her. What's most important for her right now is to cultivate as quickly as possible and see who can make faster progress in their cultivation between Ren Yu and Feng.

  Moy Tian Ge knew that closing up here would do more harm than good to himself. This period of traveling outside, both body and mind had growth, advancing to the later stage of foundation building was not a problem, but to impact the formation of Dan, it was still far from being the right time, if he were to force his way through, the Heart Demon would be difficult to overcome.

  But doing nothing was clearly not an option, so, realizing this, Mo Tian Ge began to rummage through the books in the Void Heaven Realm, searching for a solution.

  In these books, he found some Dans that could help him advance, some of which had the effect of protecting his heart and calming his mind. From then on, Mo Tian Ge practiced while refining these Dans. Although they couldn't solve the problem from the root, no matter what, having them was better than not having them.

  In just eight months, it has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Embracing the origin and guarding the one, the spiritual platform is empty and bright. The five elements of yin and yang are full of spiritual energy, filling the whole body, and flowing wildly in the meridians.

  Mó Tiān Gē knew that this was his own promotion to the late stage of foundation building.

  She was not panicked at all, and slowly guided the spiritual energy to flow in the meridians while exhaling and inhaling in an orderly manner.

  This minor boundary promotion is greatly affected by her innate talent, if she still had the innate talent of the Five Spirits Root. After building the foundation, every small promotion would require a lot of effort. But now that she has changed to cultivate the Hunyuan** method, there is no bottleneck in minor promotions, and with some care, it's not a problem.

  The spiritual energy continued to accumulate in the dantian, and the spiritual energy around her body wildly surged towards her. Mo Tian Ge quietly absorbed these spiritual energies, storing them into the dantian, circulating like this.

  Finally, the dantian was filled to the brim and could no longer accommodate even a single thread of spiritual energy. Mo Tian Ge immediately stopped absorbing spiritual energy and instead circulated the nearly blocked spiritual energy within his dantian.

  Under her deliberate guidance, the vital energy began to flow, from the elixir field to the meridians, circulating once and finally returning to the elixir field.

  The vital energy circulated faster and faster, almost becoming a whirlpool, as if the body had become a universe, with countless stars revolving around that central point.

  Suddenly, the stars ran to the extreme and "boom"! They collided with each other, competing for a wider universe, and the cosmos expanded rapidly in this squeeze.

  …………

  Mo Tian Ge opened his eyes with a face full of sweat, and without wiping away the wet marks on his face, he first checked himself all over, and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

  She has indeed reached the later stage of Foundation Building!

  The small Jin Gang is not as difficult as the large Jin Gang. The density of the spiritual energy will not change, only the Dan Tian will expand a bit.

  The Wild Sky Song ran through once, feeling very smooth all over the body, and there were no lingering problems caused by the promotion, only then did it stop.

  She had already advanced to the late stage of foundation building, but she wasn't too happy about it. The late stage of foundation building wasn't anything special, as Ren Yuantian had also reached this stage long ago. Looking at his behavior and using the so-called Dragon Secret Technique, his strength must have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, yet she still couldn't figure out how he did it.

  To be honest, Mo Tian Ge didn't think that Ren Yu Feng would quickly become a high-ranking cultivator after obtaining the Dragon God's secret method. Not to mention that this secret method seemed quite strange, but he didn't have any dragon aura on him, instead his whole body was filled with demonic energy. Just talking about herself, with her Hun Yuan spiritual root and pure yin physical constitution, combined with her Hun Yuan cultivation method, she didn't think that she would be much slower than Ren Yu Feng even if she cultivated with all her might.

  So, it's actually a competition of time to see who can cultivate faster with the help of Shenlong's secret method, Ren Yu or her Hunyuan **Jingjie. As long as she surpasses Ren Yu in cultivation speed, one day she can openly go out and cut down Ren Yu under his horse.

  Gently taking a deep breath, Mo Tian Ge tore open the rift in the sky of the Virtual Heaven Boundary and observed the scene outside.

  Ren Yu Feng and Qiu Zhi Ming are still in cultivation. In the past few months, she occasionally heard their conversations, Qiu Zhi Ming has completely fallen, under Ren Yu Feng's oppression, for the sake of survival, he has become a poor worm that only knows to flatter and fawn on Ren Yu Feng.

  It was a coincidence that she successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building, and the outside Ren Yu Feng also stopped his cultivation.

  Just now, when Ren Yu Feng was still cultivating, Mo Tian Ge observed that the black energy all over his body had become increasingly dense, almost submerging him entirely. However, if this black energy were to be considered as spiritual energy, Ren Yu Feng still remained at a realm equivalent to the initial stage of forming the elixir, and hadn't advanced again.

  Observing this, Mo Tian Ge let out a sigh of relief. This meant that even if he had obtained the Dragon God's secret method, Ren Yu Feng wasn't instantly going to become an extremely powerful cultivator, but rather would have to cultivate step by step. In that case, she still had some confidence, her own cultivation speed wouldn't be much slower than Ren Yu Feng's.

  He stopped his cultivation and seemed a bit troubled, perhaps he had also encountered a bottleneck in his practice. He thought for a moment, then took out an object from the Qiankun bag.

  Mò Tiān Gē saw his movements and her eyes widened in surprise.

  What Ren Feng took out was not something else, but a thick and heavy stone tablet!

  Qiu Zhiming once said that when Ren Yu Feng first entered the underground palace, he obtained a stone tablet which recorded the secret method of obtaining the Dragon's Breath. Therefore, Ren Yu Feng fabricated some lies to make them think there were many treasures in this underground palace, so as to lure them into entering it again.

  He took out the stone tablet, and with a somewhat sentimental tone, he stroked its surface while sighing. Then, he placed the tablet upright, carefully staring at it as if studying it.

  The position of Mo Tian Ge couldn't clearly see the content on the stone tablet, however, it didn't prevent her from seeing the general content.

  As Qiu Zhiming said, the lines carved on this stone are similar to paintings. In ancient times, when writing was just born, most of them still used murals as a recording method, and this stone tablet came from the ancient temple of Digu, using painting to record is not wrong.

  The picture carved on this, the content is very simple, a person standing in front of the dragon bone, as if using some kind of secret technique, next to it are also painted many human bodies, making various postures, inside the human body there are also several lines, seemingly the way the spirit runs, I think this is what Ren Yu and Feng call the Secret Method of the Divine Dragon. In addition, next to some postures seem to be carved with simple texts, but this ancient text Tian Ge does not recognize.

  In ancient times, this statement is from the perspective of mortal birth. For cultivators, it can be generally summarized into several stages: Primordial, Divine Extinction, and Ancient Times. The Primordial Era has been passed down since the opening of heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years. What cultivators understand more about and usually refer to as the Primordial Era is the tens of millions of years after the gods established the rules of ascension.

  In those tens of thousands of years, great Taoist masters emerged one after another, and everyone aspired to ascend to immortality. Many people achieved ascension and became immortals. During this period, many texts and cultivation methods were left behind, which are still obtained by lucky ones today. These texts have been studied by many cultivators, who also understand their meaning.

  Not mentioning others, Mo Tian Ge's virtual sky realm was just that period of time left behind, and the words in it didn't pose any obstacles for her.

  But these ancient texts from hundreds of millions of years ago are now completely unrecognizable in today's cultivation world.

  He probably didn't know Ren with the wind, at this time frowning, comparing the pictures and words on the stone tablet, guessing a little bit, from time to time making some movements.

  Moy Tian's mind flashed with an idea: Could it be that Ren Feng didn't understand the characters, and what he thought was the divine dragon secret method was actually wrong? Or maybe it wasn't the divine dragon secret method at all, but a kind of evil technique?

  The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. Otherwise, if he absorbed the divine dragon's breath, how could he possibly turn into a body of demonic energy? Did Ren not even notice anything was off himself?

  Outside of Xuantian Boundary, Ren Yu and Feng seem to be puzzled as well, unable to understand something.

  At this time, Qiu Zhiming also stopped his cultivation, feeling a bit afraid and curious as he looked at Ren Yu Feng.

  He no longer worries that Ren Yu Feng will kill him, but facing Ren Yu Feng makes him even more afraid. In a year's time, Ren Yu Feng's oppression has made him engrave this fear in his heart, and seeing Ren Yu Feng's appearance, he habitually obeys.

  At this time, Ren let out a sigh, as if muttering to himself: "Dragon's Breath, Dragon's Breath..."

  Qiu Zhiming hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Ren Shixiong, is there something wrong?"

  Ren glanced at Feng and put away his thoughts, saying lightly: "Nothing, this technique is a bit problematic to comprehend."

  "......Oh." Qiu Zhiming didn't dare ask again and sat silently beside him.

  "It seems that it's been too long and I still can't figure it out, I need someone to talk to." Ran Yu thought for a moment, then said: "The Dragon's Breath, why did absorbing it make me like this..."

  Mo Tian Ge's expression changed slightly, so Ren Yu Feng also found it strange?

  As expected, Ren Yu Feng continued to say: "According to what is said on this stone tablet, if one absorbs the Dragon God's breath, they will become the Dragon God's child, with a majestic aura and sacred breath. However..."

  Hearing this, Mo Tian Ge's heart already had 80% certainty that Ren Yu was definitely practicing the wrong technique!

  But Ren Yun seemed unaware of it and continued to say: "Maybe this set of skills was originally like this?"

  He said this when Qiu Zhiming stammered out a sentence: "Master Ren, is it possible... that the kung fu was misunderstood?"

  Qiu Zhiming's words had barely left his lips when Ren Yu's face changed, and he shouted savagely: "Impossible! I've already obtained the Dragon God's Breath, how could I be wrong? If I were wrong, would I have such great power?"

  "Yes, yes." Qiu Zhiming didn't dare to refute him and repeatedly responded in agreement.

  "It must be that I haven't cultivated enough yet, if I succeed in cultivating, I can definitely transform into a dragon body!" Ren Yu said firmly, putting away the stone tablet and sitting down to continue cultivating.

  Moke Tiantang shook his head in the virtual sky realm. Ren Yu Feng had already been bewitched, this technique was absolutely wrong, even if it gave Ren Yu Feng power. The sacred and pure Dragon's Breath, how could it possibly comprehend black demonic energy?

  However, it would be better if Ren and Feng cultivated their skills in harmony. Cultivating demonic powers is the easiest way to go astray, and when that happens, it's easy to lose control and kill him.

  Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue his cultivation, suddenly aware of something, Mo Tian Ge opened his eyes again.

  Inside the Void Sky Realm, everything is calm, but outside the Void Sky Realm, it seems to be shaking.

  Ren Yu stopped his cultivation and Qiu Zhiming also opened his eyes. The two looked around, puzzled and surprised.

  Qiu Zhiming exclaimed: "Ren Shixiong, what's going on here?"

  Ren furrowed his brow, also with a face full of confusion.

  The huge indoor square is shaking, and the song of the sky is in the virtual sky realm. The dragon bones on the square are also starting to shake!

  The complexion changed with the wind, closed his eyes and released his spiritual consciousness. Gradually, his face turned whiter and whiter: "August 15th, August 15th!"

  The stranger's song made her pause, and then her complexion changed as well.

  On August 15th, the Dragon Hidden Land will undergo a drastic change, with the scene completely changing and being completely different from last year. Disciples who still linger in the Dragon Hidden Land after August 15th will never reappear again!

  This is what Jiang Shang emphasized before entering Longyin's territory.

  They have been in this underground palace for more than eight months. When they came, they said it was three months ago, just after August 15th, when they discovered this underground palace in Longhide. Now it's exactly a year later, and the scene of Longhide is about to change!

  This matter had been vaguely remembered by Tian Ge, but she always felt that in the Yu Tian realm, it shouldn't have any impact. Currently, it seems that indeed there won't be any impact - outside everything is shaking, but inside the Yu Tian realm all is calm and peaceful. However, when the time comes, she still has some worries. If this underground palace disappears, where will the Yu Tian realm appear? Will it disappear together with the underground palace or remain in its original place?

  Outside, Ren Yu Feng and Qiu Zhi Ming were already in a panic. Although Ren Yu Feng was no longer a novice cultivator, he was still at a loss when faced with such an unknown situation.

  "Master, what to do? What to do?" Qiu Zhiming's voice was already trembling with tears, the ground was shaking more and more violently, and the dragon skeleton seemed as if it would collapse at any moment.

  Ren Yunfeng scolded in a loud voice, "Be quiet!"

  Qiu Zhiming didn't dare to refute him, swallowing his voice, but his whole person softened, staring at Ren Yu Feng in a daze.

  Ren Yu thought for a while, but didn't seem to have any ideas. The power of the Dragon's Breath made him forget the rule that the Dragon Hiding Place changed every year.

  The scene of Longyin's place changes every year, and where did last year's scene go? These questions have been unanswered for thousands of years. Those disciples who stayed in Longyin's place without leaving also don't know where they went. After disappearing, they never came back.

  The ground shook more and more violently, they were already floating on the water, unable to stand at all.

  "No way, can't be like this." Ren muttered to himself as he forcibly crossed his legs and started circulating his spiritual energy.

  The stranger's song didn't know what he wanted to do, but obviously had a countermeasure.

  Only to see Ren Feng's spiritual energy rising, gathering his spiritual energy, the black aura on his body became more and more intense, the dragon's breath on the dragon bones began to frantically surge towards him!

  He wants to forcibly absorb the Dragon God's Breath to enhance his cultivation!

  Moyin's face changed. She didn't know what the consequences would be, but it was said that demonic cultivation easily led to madness, especially when forcibly advancing one's realm. However, this so-called Divine Dragon Secret Technique was something from millions of years ago - who knew if it was special or not? Moreover, if Ren Yu Feng succeeded, his realm would be even higher, and at that time, killing him would be difficult, let alone escaping herself!

  It's better if he failed or was taken by this dragon hiding place to an unknown location, at least she can escape safely.

  The dragon's breath surged towards Ren with a mad frenzy, the black air on his body began to churn and gradually covered him entirely.

  At this time, the ground was shaking even more violently. The dragon bones that had been placed there for millions of years finally made a "cracking" sound and collapsed with a loud rumble, but it was unclear where they started to fall from.

  First came the skull rolling down, followed by the huge spine, rib after rib was washed away, and the tailbone slowly separated...

  The gigantic and majestic dragon's skeleton instantly turned into a pile of white bones, scattering with the water.

  Qiu Zhiming floating in the water was struck by a huge dragon bone, dazed and lost consciousness.

  While Ren Yu was still operating his technique, he had already been completely covered by the black energy and could no longer be seen.

  Mò Tiān Gē watched this scene with tension. She hoped that Rén Yǔ Fēng was unsuccessful, hoping that she wouldn't be affected in the Virtual Heaven Realm.

  It was unknown how much time had passed when the underground palace was still shaking. Ren Yu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Ah!"

  The black air on his body gradually dissipated, revealing his true face.

  Pale face, thin body, skeletal figure like a skull, but with jet-black eyes gleaming.

  Mo Tian Ge was shocked. For several months, Ren Yu Feng had been surrounded by dark energy, and she hadn't seen his true face. She never thought that someone who used to be so clean and handsome a few months ago would end up looking like this! Even if you said he was a mummy, people might still believe it.

  Ren Yu Feng once again clasped his palms together, and a black aura burst forth from the center of his hands. It emerged in circles, like a silkworm spitting out silk to form a cocoon, wrapping around him. The black threads grew more numerous, starting from Ren Yu Feng's feet, quickly wrapping upwards.

  At this time, the palace has completely turned upside down.

  Mo Tian Ge stared intently at Ren Yu Feng, only to see the black threads on his body ceaselessly wrapping around his waist and abdomen, winding upwards until they reached his head, finally tightening up there, enveloping him entirely.

  Outside the underground palace, a loud rumbling sound finally erupted. Mo Tian Ge in the Void Sky Realm saw countless giant rocks begin to collapse.

  This ancient building was built with giant stones as high as two people, each weighing up to a thousand catties. But now, the giant stones of this underground palace are beginning to disintegrate, and the walls on all sides and the top are being washed away by water, falling down piece by piece.

  Water surges violently, dragon bones float everywhere, and giant rocks fall down randomly.

  Mo Tian Ge saw with regret that the giant rocks that were supposed to hit Ren Yu Feng's body were all blocked by the black cocoon on his body, and Qiu Zhi Ming had already been buried under the rocks somewhere.

  It's unknown how long it took, but everything finally slowly calmed down. The water flow was no longer turbulent, the boulders also stopped one by one, and even the water was slowly flowing away.

  In the virtual sky, An Ran Wu Yang's Mo Tian Ge saw a beam of light projected from somewhere.
