BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45 Death Has Its Benefits
BOOM!!
The horrific explosion sent massive qi waves, engulfing everything within hundred meters from the center of the blast, the explosion only lasted for a few seconds before it subsided.
After the sudden eruption had ended, the cave fell into an odd silence.
A speck of light suddenly appeared in the underground cave and floated within it. If one looked closely, they could see a Yin-Yang seal glowing faintly beneath it. Next, the Yin-Yang seal slowly started to encase the speck of light like a cocoon.
Inside the cocoon.
Bai Ming lost his vision, he felt that he was inside a darkness that was unfathomably deep.
This darkness was not cold, it had a kind of warmth. It was like he had gone back into his mother's womb.
Time slowly passed by, during this period of time, Bai Ming felt his divine soul gradually becoming powerful. The previous wounds on his soul were slowly healed, not only that his soul had gotten stronger to a degree.
Bai Ming didn't know exactly know how much time had passed. He only knew that he had to be patient and embrace the loneliness.
Bai Ming had been here for too long. Long enough for him to search through his own memories multiple times. He began to analyze everything that he had done till now.
After analyzing, he immediately recalled the contents of the sword path inheritance from the sword path great grandmaster level expert and began to wholeheartedly immerse in them. Time continued to pass slowly, Bai Ming had fully lost himself in the sword path in these numerous years of solitariness. His sword path attainment was growing by leaps and bounds, he had long stopped reading the sword path insights, as they were of no use to him anymore. But without the help of insights, his speed of advancement was reduced by more than three times.
And outside, barely five minutes had passed.
The cocoon began to shine brightly.
First, there was white light, from pale transparent light to pure white light, and finally to thick milky white light.
Next, there was a hint of black inside the white light. The black quickly spread, turning the white light into light gray, before it turned dark gray, and finally, pitch black like the void.
Inside the black-colored light, Cocoon twitched continuously, from the size of a human ear, it expanded to the size of a basin.
Inside this dark ball, a fetus was birthed. Shining brightly with green light, it could vaguely be seen.
Life force was continuously gathering, it was rapidly growing and becoming stronger.
Light blue fog started to gently surround it.
The temperature of the surroundings fell rapidly, and fog turned into frost, covering the surface of the ball.
Next, a chain of red lightning shot out, surrounding the ball, forming a complex web of lightning. Lightning crackled as sparks were created. The sparks fell on the frost and started burning the frost.
The frost turned into a mystical qi that surrounded the ball.
Incomprehensible golden patterns slowly appeared on the surface of the ball, from which countless brown vines grew out before turning into milky white bones. Scarlett flowers bloomed at the ends of these sharp bones before decaying.
Numerous changes occurred, they were unimaginable. On the surface, they looked totally random and abrupt, but if cultivators with a deep understanding of the heavenly Dao observed them carefully, they could see the boundless profundities of heaven and earth.
As the changes continued to occur, the fetus inside the ball gradually grew larger.
Eventually, after a total of hundred and one mystical changes, the ball turned into green paste, as the fetus inside was at its largest, a baby was formed, stretching his four tiny limbs!
At once, the green ball that surrounded him broke apart, the baby was born!
This baby had a cautious expression, his eyes were glowing like stars, he had pale and fair white skin, his limbs were chubby, his face was cute and tender, core formation aura was oozing from him.
A transcendent qi had wrapped itself around his entire body, it was selflessly nourishing him.
The baby was about to land on the ground, during this process, he grew rapidly. From the time of his birth to when he was two years old physically, only a second had passed.
Three, four, five, six, seven years old… when his legs landed on the ground, he had already become a fifteen-year-old youngster!
He had snow-white skin. His long black hair extended to his waist. His body was muscular and well-toned. But the most attractive features were his devilish eyes, a blood-red shade was emanating from both his pupils, granting him a fearsome visage.
This youth was naturally Bai Ming.
Bai Ming's first impression was that this body was incomparably suited for his soul, even more so than his original body.
This body created by the Yin-Yang reversal pearl was after all built on the foundation of his soul, the entire process of rebirth had only lasted for about fifteen minutes, but Bai Ming had mentally spent nearly five hundred years inside!
Regarding its traits, Bai Ming had to inspect himself.
His powerful divine sense immediately spread throughout the battlefield.
Once he completed inspecting, he showed a look of joy. He had made the right gamble!
Be it Li jun or Huang Long they no longer existed.
"The gains this time are definitely worth it, the strength of my divine senses is comparable to a peak core formation martial artist. But most importantly my biggest gain is the increase in my sword path attainment. Hehehe, I am now a supreme grandmaster in the sword path! Without considering anything else, only with sword path attainment, my swordsmanship will be ten times stronger than ordinary cultivators." Thinking of this Bai Ming's lips curled into an arrogant smile.
Bai Ming's eyes flickered as his gaze landed on the purple flame, he laughed heartily.
But he didn't immediately begin refining it, he still hadn't inspected his body carefully. After carefully inspecting his body seven times, he frowned slightly before quickly turning indifferent.
"My internal cultivation was retained, but my body cultivation was fully destroyed. This is just an insignificant issue compared to my gains. But since this is the case I'll just re-cultivate from scratch that's all." Bai Ming didn't think much of this problem, because he already had a solution.
Bai Ming first inspected the area he was standing in, but there was nothing here. He had held some hope that he might be able to obtain Li jun's storage pouch. Since Li Wei had one, he thought it was only natural for Li jun to also have one. But it was completely destroyed during the qi blast. As for Li Wei's bag of holding he didn't bother with it, he had full confidence it was destroyed by her self-detonation.
Next, Bai Ming carefully moved toward the place where he had previously set up the healing barrier.
Since he knew that he would have to self-detonate, with his personality why would he not consider a couple of things?
He already had nearly thirty core formation realm cultivators' bodies stored in his storage pouch, he carefully placed his storage pouch there to avoid getting it destroyed during the detonation.
Bai Ming didn't waste time. After setting up a 3rd-grade formation to defend him, he quickly began to process the materials and cultivate the rotten blood art.
After a whole eight hours had gone by, Bai Ming had completed forming three crescents. His body cultivation reached the peak of core formation realm, his body was now comparable to a semi-mid-grade treasure and his regenerative capabilities had also improved.
"Now it's much better, I'll have to quickly kill off all the villagers and use them as materials before refining the flame essence. If I refine the flame first, the majority of these cheap materials will be wasted. But their effectiveness is still very low." Bai Ming thought while taking out a green robe from his bag of holding.
After getting dressed, he left the underground cave through the purple barrier.
The wind blew wildly past him, Bai Ming traveled through the forest, even without using spiritual energy, his speed was very fast.
Within five minutes he had reached the outskirts of the Luo Village, and he began setting up a 3rd tier formation surrounding the entire village.
After activating it, he moved towards the Song village he did the same thing there.
Within four hours everyone inside the formation was ruthlessly killed and processed by the formation creatures.
Then outside the village, he set up a separate 3rd-grade qi gathering formation and also used the spirit liquid he had plundered from the Ye village to cultivate.
After three days of cultivation he had achieved the 2nd layer of the core formation realm, Bai Ming then entered the Song village and began another session of body cultivation, after that he plunder all of their martial skills.
Next, the same thing happened in Luo village. But his body cultivation didn't have much improvement, only five percent of the fourth crescent had formed.
As for spirit stones and spirit liquid, he didn't have enough space inside his storage pouch to store them, hence Bai Ming had moved all the spirit stones and the spirit liquid into a single place and put a restriction around it.
Bai Ming wasn't disappointed, he quickly moved to the underground cave and began refining the flame essence, there were many methods to refine elemental essence but Bai Ming was only aware of the most commonly known method, even this particular method he had learnt from the cultivation encyclopedia he had gotten from the panel.
Elemental essence were condensed forms of heaven and earth energies. They were great resources of cultivation as they contained dense elemental energies that can increase the strength of the elements.
If Bai Ming can refine this nine-hundred-year-old flame essence, his fire elemental essence will become nine times stronger.
"Refining the flame essence will take atleast ten days. With the help of all the resources I have accumulated so far, I can reach the Yin-Yang void realm within five months!" Bai Ming emotionally sighed, at this moment Bai Ming felt that all the risks he had taken and hardships he went through during this year were truly worth it.
