In the mountains.

Su Mo held the map in his hand and followed the directions on the map, threading his way through the dense forest.

He kept his breath to the minimum, being cautious all the way.

The position he was in now had gone deep into the Youfeng Mountains for more than fifty miles, and the monsters that appeared nearby were all first-level fourth-rank monsters, or even first-level fifth-rank monsters.

With his current strength, he might not be able to defeat a first-level fourth-rank monster, let alone a first-level fifth-rank monster.

Therefore, he was very careful along the way.

Finally, after another half an hour of advance, Su Mo arrived safely at a messy valley.

This valley had three sides all surrounded by high cliffs that were a hundred zhang tall, with only one entrance.

The valley was covered with thorns and bushes, and it was desolate.

Su Mo was highly concentrated, always alert to his surroundings. If there was any danger, he would immediately flee.

Although the treasure was important, without life, everything was nothing.

Su Mo looked at the map in his hand, and the location marked on the map was exactly this valley.

Su Mo observed carefully around him, and soon, he found a large crack on a rock wall.

It was a horizontal crack that was ten zhang long, like the mouth of a huge beast, unfathomable.

The crack was overgrown with weeds, and if one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't even notice this crack.

Standing at the mouth of the crack, Su Mo frowned deeply.

Compared to the small cave before, this crack was dark, cold, and unfathomable, and one didn't know what dangers lay within.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Mo shook his head and still walked into the crack.

Since he had come, how could he return empty-handed?

Danger?

When had Su Mo ever been afraid of danger?

As Su Mo delved deeper into the crack, the light became dimmer and the surrounding area turned pitch black.

Su Mo channeled his true qi to his eyes, which immediately enhanced his vision, and walked towards the depths of the crack step by step.

After walking for a while, Su Mo found that the passage in the crack was gradually descending.

He guessed that he had now penetrated about ten meters underground.

After walking for a while longer, a cool breeze blew from ahead, accompanied by the sound of flowing water.

Su Mo was refreshed and quickened his pace forward.

Before long, Su Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, and what greeted him was a huge space, five or six meters high, seven or eight meters wide, and whose length was unknown.

It turned out to be an underground world.

An underground underground river passed through this space, and one didn't know where it led.

There were many fish swimming in the underground river, and there were many natural pebbles by the river, emitting a faint fluorescence, allowing Su Mo to have a panoramic view of everything in this underground world.

Not far from Su Mo, there was a dilapidated stone chamber.

Outside the stone chamber, there were several dried bones, obviously dead for a long time.

"Could it be that the treasure has already been taken away?"

Su Mo walked forward slowly and entered the dilapidated stone chamber.

The stone chamber was not large, with a length and width of less than five meters, and half of it had collapsed.

The stone chamber was empty, with only two skeletons in the center.

Su Mo couldn't help but be disappointed, it seemed that the treasure had already been taken away.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Su Mo was stunned.

Because he found that one of the bones of the skeleton was actually light golden in color and not at all decayed.

"How could there be light golden bones?" Su Mo was puzzled.

This is indeed the skeleton of a human martial artist, but he has never heard of anyone whose bones are light golden.

"Eh? This is..."

Su Mo suddenly noticed that on the left finger bone of the golden skeleton, there was actually a gray-white ancient ring.

"Could it be a storage ring?"

Su Mo was excited and quickly picked up the ring.

A storage ring is a treasure that can store items, creating a self-contained space, and is very precious.

In the entire Linyang City, no one owns a storage ring. Generally, martial artists use a secondary Storage bag for storage.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mo channeled his true qi into the ring.

The next moment, Su Mo's consciousness entered a gray space.

This space is not large, with a length, width, and height of about five meters each.

In the corner of the space, there are several Secret script, a shiny long sword, and a pile of milky-white crystals.

With a thought, the long sword appeared in Su Mo's hand, and as he channeled his true qi, the long sword immediately let out a sword cry.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The long sword's sword light swallow and spit, shooting into a wall one meter away, actually piercing through the hard stone wall.

" This...! "

Su Mo was astonished. He didn't expect this sword to be so powerful that it could emit the Qi of Sword on its own, easily penetrating the hard stone wall.

Slash Spirit, Third-Grade Intermediate!

Su Mo saw a few small words engraved on the hilt of the long sword.

Could it be a third-grade intermediate weapon?

Su Mo was immediately excited.

What does a third-grade intermediate weapon mean? Let me put it this way! Even the entire Linyang City doesn't have a second-grade top-grade weapon, which shows how precious a third-grade intermediate weapon is.

And the word "Slash Spirit" should be the name of this sword.

After a moment, Su Mo put the long sword back into the storage ring and took out several manuals.

In total, there are four manuals: "Divine Wind Swordsmanship," "Myriad Images Divine Skill," "Phantom Step," and "Primordial Qi Formula."

Gently flipping through the "Myriad Images Divine Skill" manual, Su Mo looked intently.

"Myriad Images Divine Skill," a fifth-grade top-grade physical cultivation technique, is divided into fifteen layers. After cultivation, the body is as strong as an ancient monster, and every gesture possesses the power of myriad images.

From the first to the third layer, it is to train strength!

From the fourth to the sixth layer, it is to temper the bones!

From the seventh to the ninth layer, strengthen the body!

From the tenth to the twelfth layer, divine power!

From the thirteenth to the fifteenth layer, myriad images!

Seeing the content of this book, Su Mo was shocked again, his face full of astonishment.

A fifth-grade top-grade cultivation technique?

A physical cultivation technique?

The power of myriad images?

What is the concept of the power of myriad images? The strength of tens of thousands of giant elephants!

Moreover, the "elephant" mentioned here does not refer to an ordinary demon elephant, but an ancient barbarian elephant.

Even if they do not practice, ancient barbarian elephants will have more than ten thousand catties of strength when they grow up.

How much power does tens of thousands of ancient barbarian elephants have?

100 million kilograms?

Hundreds of millions of kilograms?

Su Mo immediately felt that his brain wasn't enough!

"It's actually a fifth-grade top-grade cultivation technique! And it's a physical cultivation technique!"

After reacting, Su Mo was overjoyed. This treasure hunt was really worth it.

As far as Su Mo knew, not to mention a fifth-grade cultivation technique, even a third-grade cultivation technique did not exist in the entire Linyang City.

The Su family, as one of the two major families in Linyang City, had the highest-grade cultivation technique, which was only a second-grade medium-grade one. It was the Su family's ancestral secret manual, and ordinary family members did not have the qualifications to cultivate it.

And now, he had unexpectedly obtained a fifth-grade top-grade cultivation technique, and it was a physical cultivation technique.

Physical cultivation techniques were more precious than cultivation techniques of the same level because there were too few physical cultivation techniques.

Physical cultivation techniques were the true method of strengthening the body. The realm of Cultivation of Qi before the stage of Body Tempering was only to exercise and temper the body.

The Su family also had only two physical cultivation techniques, but few young disciples practiced them because the cultivation process was relatively slow and a waste of time.

For the young disciples of the Su family, their primary goal was to strive to improve their own cultivation and enhance their strength.

This "Myriad Images Divine Skill" was even more precious than the Slash Sword.

Hu!

Taking a deep breath, Su Mo looked at the other three manuals.

Compared to the Slash Sword and the "Myriad Images Divine Skill," the other three manuals were relatively ordinary.

All three manuals were of the third-grade inferior level, including a swordsmanship manual, a footwork manual, and a cultivation manual.

Although these three manuals were not as good as the "Myriad Images Divine Skill," they were still much stronger than the manuals of the Su family.

Exactly what he needed.

Among the remaining pile of milky-white crystals, Su Mo did not know what they were, but he could feel a massive amount of spiritual energy from them and was certain that they must be treasures.

After a moment, suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Mo put away the other manuals, leaving only the "Myriad Images Divine Skill."

He carefully read it once, committing the key points and formulas to memory.

There was no danger in this underground world and it was quiet enough. Su Mo immediately sat down cross-legged, released his martial soul, and began to practice.

The "Myriad Images Divine Skill" was a cultivation technique that used the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, or one's own true essence, to temper the body, and was very profound.

At this moment, Su Mo's true essence transformed into one after another elephant-shaped runes, continuously drilling into his flesh and tempering his body.

An hour later, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of astonishment.

"This cultivation technique consumes true essence so quickly?"

In just one hour of practice, Su Mo's true essence had been completely depleted.

Next, Su Mo could only do his best to urge his martial soul to absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth to temper his body.

All the absorbed spiritual energy was transformed into runes and integrated into his body.

Su Mo's body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the spiritual energy runes frantically.

Time passed quickly.

This practice lasted for eight days. During this period, when Su Mo was hungry, he went to the dark river to catch a few fish to satisfy his hunger. He didn't have to worry about food.

On the sixth day, Su Mo successfully cultivated the first layer of the "Myriad Images Divine Skill".

After successfully cultivating the first layer, Su Mo's physical strength skyrocketed. With just the strength of his body, the power of his punch exceeded three tigers, even stronger than a Qi Refining Triple cultivator.

For a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, every increase in cultivation level adds one tiger's strength.

One tiger's strength is about 500 catties, and three tigers' strength is 1,500 catties.

Su Mo felt that his current strength was approaching 2,000 catties, which was about four tigers' strength. Even if it was not four tigers' strength, it was not far behind.

In just a few days of practice, his strength had increased rapidly, which further strengthened his determination to practice this technique.

If he could practice this technique to the tenth level or higher, not to mention the small Linyang City, even in the entire Tianyue Kingdom, he would have no opponents.

However, after cultivating the first layer, when Su Mo was practicing the second layer, he obviously felt that it was ten times slower than practicing the first layer.

It only took six days to cultivate the first layer, but it would take at least two months to completely cultivate the second layer, Su Mo estimated.

Therefore, after practicing for another two days, Su Mo stopped practicing.

He has been out for ten days and it's time to go back.

After recovering his true essence, Su Mo buried the golden skeleton and left the underground world, heading towards Linyang City.

The storage ring of the golden skeleton gave Su Mo a chance, so Su Mo let the other party rest in peace.

Walking back, Su Mo suddenly thought of a problem.

Because practicing the "Myriad Images Divine Skill" requires a large amount of spiritual energy, and the more you go on, the more spiritual energy you need.

If he keeps practicing this technique, all the spiritual energy absorbed by his martial soul will be exhausted.

His true essence will no longer increase at all, and his cultivation will not be improved.

And if he practices both Qi Refining and physical training, the speed of both aspects of cultivation will be greatly reduced.

"Should I give up Qi Refining and focus on cultiving the body?"

As soon as this idea came up, Su Mo rejected it decisively.

For others, practicing both Qi Refining and physical training might greatly affect the improvement of their strength, but for him, it was not a problem.

His martial soul can be upgraded.

As long as he upgrades the level of his martial soul, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy can be greatly increased, and his cultivation can naturally increase rapidly.

Now his Devouring Martial Soul has been upgraded to the third level of the human rank, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is ten times faster than when it was at the first level of the human rank.

If the Martial Soul can be upgraded a few more levels, the speed of cultivation will definitely increase again.

Therefore, practicing both Qi Refining and physical training will only increase his strength, and have little impact on the speed of his cultivation.

"Hehe! It seems that I have to kill more in the future!"

Su Mo smiled bitterly. Whether it is a beast soul or a martial soul, if he wants to devour it, there is only killing!
