Chapter 336 The Wildfire Sparrow Advances, Li Jingyu is Very Busy
This year.
Because the Wildfire Sparrow was about to break through, Li Ping did not go into seclusion.
The Wildfire Sparrow lay asleep with its eyes closed among a pile of fire-attribute spiritual materials. As it continuously absorbed and refined the fire-attribute spiritual power within the materials, its aura slowly increased.
During this process, every feather on its body became more and more vibrant, making the whole thing resemble a blazing, burning sun.
Li Ping sat cross-legged to the side, meditating and cultivating himself.
As for Meng Wanjun, he sent her to the other side of the island to cultivate.
Although he possessed the bloodline of the Wildfire Sparrow, Li Ping had prepared so many fire-attribute spiritual materials for him, and he also had the support of a third-grade high-quality spiritual environment.
Its breakthrough to the third tier is a natural progression, and failure is virtually impossible.
But just in case, Li Ping still watched from the side.
Even if the Wildfire Sparrow fails to break through and is unfortunately seriously injured, he can use the Nourishing Life Technique to heal its injuries in time.
As his longest-time companion, Li Ping didn't want anything to happen to the Wildfire Sparrow.
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, more than half a year had gone by.
The Wildfire Sparrow was still asleep, but its aura was significantly stronger than it had been half a year ago, almost reaching the limit of a second-tier demon beast.
Moreover, as it continuously absorbed spiritual energy, its aura gradually developed a sense of perfection and completeness.
a few days later.
On the Spirit Island, the abundant spiritual energy became restless and began to converge towards the location of the Wildfire Sparrow.
Li Ping had long since stopped cultivating and was now standing not far away, watching this scene with a smile on his face.
"Young Master, is Sparrow about to advance?" Meng Wanjun sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy here and rushed over. She looked at the Wildfire Sparrow lying with its eyes closed, her eyes filled with surprise.
Li Ping nodded slightly, full of anticipation: "It is indeed about to advance."
Just as the two were talking, a mysterious and profound fire spirit energy erupted from the Wildfire Sparrow, which was the aura naturally released by the Vermilion Bird bloodline within its body.
Li Ping's mind raced, and he silently began to sense things, but in the end, he sensed nothing.
The True Spirit Vermilion Bird's rank is far higher than his; it's simply impossible for him to comprehend the mysteries within its bloodline.
"boom!"
Terrifying flames erupted from the Wildfire Sparrow, engulfing it entirely. Centered on the Wildfire Sparrow, the temperature within several feet soared rapidly, enough to harm a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even the spot where Li Ping was standing, despite his Core Formation cultivator strength, felt faintly scorching.
Meng Wanjun's face turned red from the heat, and beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, as if she couldn't withstand the high temperature.
"Stay away, don't get too close, or you'll get hurt," Li Ping advised.
The power of the Wildfire Sparrow, a spirit beast with true spirit bloodline, during its advancement exceeded his expectations.
However, this is a good thing. The greater the commotion during the advancement, the more powerful the supernatural abilities will be after a successful advancement.
As the owner of the Wildfire Sparrow, he was naturally delighted by this.
"Young master, I'll go over there." Meng Wanjun nodded repeatedly.
It wasn't just the high temperature; the spiritual pressure emanating from the Wildfire Sparrow also made her feel palpitations, and she couldn't help but feel fear and oppression.
So at this moment, she didn't want to stay there any longer.
After Meng Wanjun left.
The spiritual energy continued to gather, flowing into the body of the Wildfire Sparrow, where it was refined by the flames and eventually merged into its demon core and body, causing its demonic power to transform and its bloodline to awaken further.
In fact, demonic beasts mainly cultivate by developing their bloodlines, so the amount of spiritual energy they need to advance is far less than that of humans.
But the Wildfire Sparrow is an exception.
For more than ten days in a row, it kept devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In terms of the amount of spiritual energy it has refined, it is already comparable to Li Ping back then.
This might be related to the fact that it possesses a trace of true spiritual bloodline. The mystery of being born of heaven and earth and growing up to possess power comparable to immortals is beyond his comprehension.
Fortunately, after Li Ping modified the formation on the Spirit Island, its spirit-gathering effect was amazing. The spiritual environment on the island was no less than that of the top of Donghua Mountain, so it wouldn't delay the Wildfire Sparrow's advancement.
As time passed, the Wildfire Sparrow finally absorbed enough spiritual energy to advance.
"Chirp!"
It opened its eyes, glanced at Li Ping not far away, let out a joyful low groan, and then began to formally break through the bottleneck!
Monsters are different from humans.
Even the most ordinary first-tier low-grade demonic beast has a demonic core inside its body.
The advancement of a demon beast is actually the improvement of the quality of its demon core, which in turn causes a transformation in its demon power.
This continued until the metamorphosis stage.
Of course, the higher the bloodline of a demon beast, the more abundant the essence of its demon core, and the easier it is to break through.
The Wildfire Sparrow is currently undergoing further awakening of its bloodline and improvement of its demon core quality, which is destined to be a long process.
Li Ping smiled and probed the body of the Wildfire Sparrow with his divine sense.
They could already see that the inner core inside the Wildfire Sparrow's belly, shrouded in its natal spiritual fire, was constantly rotating, eliminating impurities while its quality was rapidly and steadily improving.
The innate spirit fire also improved. With the further activation of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, the Wildfire Sparrow's innate spirit fire gradually displayed the power of the legendary "Evil-Slaying Fire".
Except for the inside.
Judging from its appearance, the Wildfire Sparrow's body size is also slowly expanding. In just a few dozen days, it has grown to nearly ten feet tall.
Perhaps after it forms its core, it can serve as a mount and carry Li Pingfei.
"It's basically safe."
Li Ping smiled and nodded.
The difficulty in advancing a demon beast lies in improving the quality of its demon core.
Therefore, when a spirit beast breaks through, just like a human cultivator attempting to form their core, it is best to prepare some precious spiritual items to assist it.
However, the Wildfire Sparrow possesses the bloodline of a true spirit, and its aptitude is equivalent to that of a human cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root. With the assistance of the Demon-Slaying Fire, it can easily improve the quality of its demon core.
This remains true even after reaching the third tier.
It is foreseeable that after Li Ping forms his core, his cultivation speed will slow down, and it may surpass Li Ping in cultivation level, reaching the mid-stage of the third rank and then the late-stage of the third rank first.
……
Now that the Wildfire Sparrow's advancement is secure, all that's left is a few months of painstaking work.
Therefore, Li Ping stopped paying attention to it and instructed Meng Wanjun not to disturb it.
He himself went to the edge of the magic circle, beckoned and took down the communication talisman that was flying around like a headless bird in the restriction, and carefully examined its contents.
Last year, I saw both the righteous and demonic factions disguised as Li Jingyu, hunting down enemy Core Formation cultivators.
Li Ping could vaguely sense the tense atmosphere in the Western Wilderness cultivation world; a massive battle was bound to erupt around Donghua Mountain.
Both sides are now prepared, and the war may only be waiting for a trigger.
As for what exactly this opportunity will be, Li Ping couldn't say.
However, he speculated that as time went on, the contradictions between the two sides would deepen, and the probability of a full-scale conflict would increase accordingly.
Sure enough, after reading the communication talisman in his hand, Li Ping revealed a bitter smile.
Li Jingyu has been even busier over the past year.
Not only did they kill two Core Formation cultivators from the four major demonic sects and one Core Formation cultivator from the Defenders Alliance, but they also wreaked havoc under the Defenders Alliance's rule in the southern part of the Western Wilderness, annihilating many cultivation families and sects.
By this point, Li Jingyu had accumulated the blood debts of ten Core Formation cultivators, exterminated dozens of clans and sects, and killed countless low-level cultivators.
When Li Jingyu killed a Core Formation cultivator, most of the cultivators in the Western Wilderness just watched the spectacle.
After all, those important figures are simply too far removed from most people's lives.
Their deaths only provide people with some topics for conversation and reflection.
Although Li Jingyu earned the nickname "Blood River Old Demon" for killing seven Core Formation cultivators, most people actually treated it with a more lighthearted attitude.
Many cultivators even idolized Li Jingyu because of his amazing battle record.
"Senior Li is too strong; he killed so many Core Formation cultivators. If I had his strength..."
"We cultivators should emulate Senior Li by proving our path through slaughter, killing all living beings and slaying ghosts and gods..."
……
But when Li Jingyu started targeting ordinary cultivation families and sects...
They finally realized that the nickname "Blood River Demon" was not just a figure of speech; he not only killed Core Formation cultivators, but also Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.
As a result, public opinion reversed instantly.
Li Jingyu became a truly recognized, ruthless, and bloodthirsty old devil.
As for how Li Jingyu managed to teleport across the entire Western Wilderness?
Both the righteous and demonic leaders automatically ignored this point.
……
Li Ping sighed. The alias Li Jingyu no longer belonged to him, but to the entire Western Wilderness.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
However, after witnessing the numerous bloody incidents committed by Li Jingyu, even if he were given back the Li Jingyu persona, he wouldn't dare to use it.
Li Ping could imagine what it would be like when he reappeared years later, disguised as Li Jingyu.
"Demon, you'd better surrender obediently. The crimes you've committed are countless. Today, all the major sects of the Guardian Alliance have joined forces to lay an inescapable net; you will have nowhere to escape!"
"You demon, you forcibly took my virginity and exterminated my entire clan. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood."
"You fiend, do you still remember me? You slaughtered my entire family, and I only survived by hiding in a pile of corpses. I will never let you live under the same sky."
"Demon, hand over the Spring and Autumn Cicada... Wait, that's not right, I've got it mixed up."
……
Li Ping couldn't help but think of a possibility.
If this continues, will all the demons in the Western Wilderness shout "I am Li Jingyu!" before committing evil deeds?
Or: Li Jingyu should take responsibility for this!
At that time, Li Jingyu will probably become the busiest person in the entire Western Wilderness.
Just thinking about that scene made Li Ping feel guilty.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with me. It's just that neither the righteous nor the demonic side dares to tear off the mask and have a fair fight."
Li Ping couldn't help but shake his head, and after several attempts, he made up his mind: "The alias Li Jingyu must never be used again."
Several months later.
Li Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and looked at the other side of the Spirit Island. A huge aura rose into the sky, faintly stirring up the wind and clouds.
Accompanying it was a domineering roar.
"Hey!"
The Wildfire Sparrow finally broke through to the third tier.
