In the blink of an eye, several more years passed.
A few months ago, Lu Xin used the Heavenly One True Fire to refine a pile of medicinal herbs, including the White Orchid Fruit, into pills.
There were seven pills in total.
Then, he began to take them to aid his cultivation.
The Divine Wood Sect Master indeed did not lie; the White Orchid Fruit was truly extraordinary.
Coupled with some other auxiliary medicines that weren't too weak.
He only consumed four pills before breaking through to the Late Stage of True Immortal.
The next step would be to prepare to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
For him, breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm was not difficult at all because he had the system. The concept of bottlenecks simply didn't exist for him.
As long as he accumulated enough mana, the breakthrough would happen naturally.
The only potential difficulty now was the upcoming Two Decays Tribulation.
These two decays were the Body Decay and the Spirit Decay.
Speaking of which, these two decays were similar to the Greater and Lesser Five Decays Divine Curse he knew, mainly targeting the body and the primordial spirit, except the latter was more specific.
Lu Xin wasn't very afraid of these Two Decays Tribulation. After all, he had the Undying Body; at worst, he would just endure it a few more times.
What he was concerned about was that these two tribulations would last for a very long time.
And he didn't want to spend his time on that at all.
"That's right, I know the Greater and Lesser Five Decays Divine Curse, and I also have the [Curse Reversal Body]. Perhaps I can start from this aspect."
Thinking of the connection between the Two Decays Tribulation and the Greater and Lesser Five Decays Divine Curse, Lu Xin suddenly had a brilliant idea.
That was to realize his long-held idea of cursing himself.
The Greater and Lesser Five Decays Divine Curse, overall, also targeted the body and the primordial spirit.
Causing them to weaken infinitely, eventually leading to destruction.
But he had the [Curse Reversal Body], and the effect would be reversed to positive, which was infinite strengthening.
Moreover, it would be returned to the caster twofold, which was double strengthening.
This way, even without body refinement techniques, his physical body could continue to improve, and it would also improve his primordial spirit along with it.
More importantly, he didn't even need to cultivate himself.
"I wonder what kind of effect the Greater and Lesser Five Decays Curse will have when cast with my current strength."
Suppressing his excited mood, Lu Xin wasn't even in a hurry to refine the Acquired Treasure. He wanted to put his idea into practice first.
First, he spent several months practicing the Greater and Lesser Five Decays Divine Curse to its current level, and then he began to cast the curse.
There were ten curses in total. With each curse added to his body, Lu Xin experienced the feeling of being in both ice and fire.
First, he felt his body was tired and his expression was listless, then he felt full of energy and mentally excited.
"It's really effective. The strength of my physical body is increasing."
Feeling the changes happening in his body, Lu Xin's eyes were bright, and his energy gathered like wolf smoke. This was caused by the sudden explosive growth of his physical body and primordial spirit.
Not daring to be careless, Lu Xin quickly calmed his mind and waited for the growth to stabilize.
Thus, several more months passed.
…
Outside, after Lu Xin's reminder, Qian Xingzi and the other three basically no longer went to check the decline of the Yin Xuan Qi in the Land of White Bones alone.
Instead, they went in pairs and were cautious.
However, even so, they still encountered trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Song Lan, I'll lure them away first. You quickly go to the Cave of True Sight and inform Fellow Daoist You Yuan that there are indeed demons lurking in the Land of White Bones."
Outside the Land of White Bones, Qian Xingzi and Song Lan Xian shot out one after the other. Qian Xingzi glanced back and said anxiously.
Song Lan Xian's expression was equally anxious, "That demon is likely a Heavenly Demon. It's useless for you to hold them back. It's better for us to pay a price and rush to the Cave of True Sight with all our strength!"
"Alright, let's speed up first then." Qian Xingzi thought about it and agreed to Song Lan Xian's suggestion.
However, it was already one step too late because there was a figure waiting for them ahead, and judging by their relaxed appearance, they had clearly been waiting for a long time.
"Heavenly Demon!"
They only caught a glimpse of them in the secret land, but now Qian Xingzi and the other two could see clearly that the other party's aura was comparable to the aura they initially felt on Lu Xin.
"Haha, Jiu You, these two humans actually recognized you as a Heavenly Demon."
Another burst of laughter came from behind. Qian Xingzi and the other two changed their expressions again and looked over, discovering a woman with black patterns on her forehead.
Her temperament was妖异, and more importantly, the aura she revealed far exceeded the demonic man in front of them.
It was equivalent to Lu Xin, whom they had seen this time.
The demonic man named Jiu You shook his head indifferently in the face of the woman's teasing, then sighed, "Well, let you die knowing why."
As he spoke, the aura on his body suddenly soared.
"It's over, two True Demons. Even if Fellow Daoist You Yuan is here, we are doomed."
Qian Xingzi smiled bitterly. After working hard for hundreds of thousands of years, it was ultimately a fleeting dream.
Song Lan Xian felt similarly. The gap was too great, and they were surrounded from the front and back, so they couldn't escape.
They could only accept their fate.
However, it was destined that they wouldn't die. At this moment, a light "Eh" sound suddenly arose.
This sound was still in everyone's ears and in their hearts.
Even more terrifying was that just by hearing the sound, they knew the person was nearby, but they couldn't feel any trace of them.
This was enough to show the strength of the voice's owner.
"Who is it?"
The demonic man's eyes revealed black light, scanning the surroundings.
The demonic woman also had the black patterns on her forehead turn into a vertical eye, as if it could see through everything.
However, the owner of the voice didn't need them to search, but instead appeared generously.
And the location was indeed very close to them.
"Fellow Daoist You Yuan!"
Seeing the person who came, Qian Xingzi and the other two were overjoyed, and then quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, run quickly, they are True Demons!"
"No need, I just happened to be looking for them to test my strength."
Lu Xin glanced at them, then scanned the two demons. He wouldn't leave. He came out this time to test his soaring physical strength.
He didn't expect to be so lucky to have two True Immortal-level demons sent to him.
Moreover, their cultivation levels were not low; they were both in the Middle Stage.
The man and woman didn't put away their eye magic, obviously wanting to see through the strength of the person who came, but they gained nothing.
However, combining the words of the two people asking him to leave, the strength of the person should be at most about the same as them.
"What you just said, is it a bit boastful?"
The man's eyes returned to normal, probing.
"It's simple, you'll know after trying." Lu Xin shook his head. As he spoke, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.
The demonic man frowned slightly, and the black light in his eyes became more intense again. Under this magical power, Lu Xin's trajectory was clearly visible. He was going straight for a close-quarters battle.
"Competing in physical strength?"
Seeing this situation, the demonic man's doubts disappeared for the most part. Competing in other things with an opponent whose details had not been explored would make him a little afraid.
But when it came to competing in physical strength, they demons had never been afraid.
Therefore, as the other party wished, his body swelled and he met the incoming fist.
"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant you your wish!"
Bang!
The two fists collided in an instant, but there was not much of a sound, nor did much violent power dissipate.
Even the demon and the human both had calm faces.
They faced each other.
However, this strange scene only lasted for a few breaths, and then bean-popping sounds came from the demonic man's body.
Then, he exploded into a blood mist, leaving only a small section of mysterious white bone the size of a little finger.
"Jiu You!"
The situation changed suddenly, and the demonic woman's face was shocked after being stunned for a moment.
Obviously, she didn't expect such a result to occur after one punch.
"You can stay too."
The woman wanted to leave, but Lu Xin caught up with her in the blink of an eye.
"No, spare me."
Realizing that she couldn't escape, the woman quickly begged for mercy.
However, Lu Xin didn't say a word and sent her to see the demonic man.
Qian Xingzi and the other two were stunned in place the entire time. Although they understood what happened, they didn't understand why it could happen.
"They were both True Immortal level cultivators, did they not even need to fight with the law?"
They couldn't believe their eyes.
