”In the circular space, a defensive martial art uses the outline of spirit energy to form a miniature defensive formation to block the enemy's attacks. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the defense.”
The Heaven-Revolving Tower was a defensive martial art that the old man had taught him. However, it was not used in combat, but in daily practice. He had used it to form a formation on the surface of his body in advance so that he could use it when training.
After the formation was formed, it wouldn't have stopped moving unless it was broken by a powerful force. At the same time, it also had the effect of isolating the surroundings.
Yang Li was extremely excited as well. He did not have any defensive spiritual arcane skills, and this Heavenly Completion Stage had mended his flaws greatly. His strength had also increased.
Spirit arts were naturally something that would be of great assistance to him only after he learned them. If he only had memories, it would be completely useless.
Although he did not know the grade of the spiritual magic that Daoist Tiangfang had taught him, it was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it also had an extremely high requirement on spiritual power.
Yang Li first attempted to outline a formation that could protect the entire body, but many times he failed. He used up all of his spiritual energy, but was unable to outline even half of it.
However, just the spiritual technique to protect the upper half of his body took him three days to succeed. However, it was still extremely unstable.
From what he could sense, a spiritual technique could only last for three days, and its defensive strength was not strong enough for him.
According to the introduction of the Heaven's Expanse Palace, if one were to completely cultivate it, not only would they be able to protect their entire body, but as long as it was not destroyed, they would be able to maintain it permanently.
However, Yang Li was very satisfied. After all, this was a spirit art taught by Daoist Tian Fang. Since he was able to traverse the entire continent, his rank would definitely not be low. Thus, it was normal for his training to be difficult.
”No wonder it's a spiritual technique passed down from an old cultivator from tens of thousands of years ago. I spent three days to cultivate it to such an extent.” After Yang Li successfully cultivated it, he sighed in his heart.
However, what he did not know was that it was also because of his abnormal perception.
In the past few days, every time he had cultivated in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, he had used up all of his spiritual energy and recovered again and again. This had caused his spiritual energy to advance by a lot and he was only one step away from reaching the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.
Yang Li sat down cross-legged and recuperated his spiritual energy. Not long after, he stood up and prepared to leave.
”As expected of an expert. The formation he set up actually hasn't changed at all for the past twenty thousand years. Even the two golden fruit trees have changed a bit.” When Yang Li finally left, he sized up the cave again and could not help but sigh.
”However, there's no need to be envious. With my talent, there will be a day when I can reach this realm and look down on the entire continent.” Yang Li smiled and left the cave.
The interior of the cave didn't feel the passage of time. When Yang Li came out, it just so happened to be in the morning.
The morning and night in the Misty Cloud Forest were the most dangerous. The fog in the morning could block people's perception and line of sight, making them unable to sense or observe their surroundings. They were extremely vulnerable to danger.
At night, because of the rampage of demon beasts, they would be chased by a large number of demon beasts if they were not careful.
Yang Li frowned and resisted the urge to return to the cave. Instead, he walked toward the inner part of the forest with large strides.
”If I don't even have the courage to face danger, then how will I climb to the peak of my life?” Yang Li thought as he walked.
Suddenly, Emmie's eyes appeared in front of him. Yang Li stopped in his tracks, his heart full of vigilance.
That pair of green eyes were slowly walking towards him, and behind him, pairs of green eyes appeared. A depressing aura instantly permeated the forest, carrying with it a trace of the smell of blood.
”Dark Wolf!” The owner of the first eye had completely appeared in front of Yang Li. Yang Li's entire body shook with great shock.
The nether wolf was blue in color and had green eyes. It looked no different from an ordinary wolf. However, what gave people a headache was that the nether wolf was one of the few social demonic beasts in the Dense Fog Forest. Every time it appeared, it would appear in groups! Hence, the green eyes in the surroundings were obviously other nether wolves.
Yang Li instantly felt a headache coming on. There had to be a Wolf King amongst the nether wolves. Although the nether wolves before him were only at the late Second Rank, equivalent to a human at the sixth layer of Qi, they were unable to handle more wolves.
”Aooo!” Just as Yang Li was thinking about how to break the situation, a mournful wolf howl entered his ears.
Ming Lang, who was walking slowly towards Yang Li, immediately dashed towards him when he heard the sound.
Yang Li couldn't dodge in time, so he took out his crouching phoenix spear and struck at the waist of Dark Wolf. The body of Dark Wolf cried out as it fell to the side, its body twitching uncontrollably.
However, with this slap, it pierced the hornet's nest. When the nether wolves saw that their companions had been knocked down, they all became furious and continuously pounced towards Yang Li.
Light flashed and shadows flashed. Yang Li wanted to rely on his speed to escape from this pack of nether wolves, but it was unknown when tens of nether wolves had already circled behind him and pounced on him.
For a time, Yang Li fell into an extremely dangerous situation. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
As for the fog in the forest, it was slowly dispersing. Yang Li noticed a large tree to his right from the corner of his eyes and was overjoyed. He rushed to the right and leaned against a large tree.
”Flame Destroying Sky!” A large amount of flames surged out from Yang Li's spear, burning the ground around Yang Li. The flames also spread onto the body of the Dark Wolf that was pouncing towards him.
”Explode!” Many of the nether wolves' bodies had exploded, but only a few had died. However, even more nether wolves had pounced towards him with vicious eyes.
”Aooo!” Another mournful howl rang out, and the nether wolves that had been charging towards Yang Li slowly retreated, forming a semicircle and surrounding Yang Li.
The wolves had just formed an encirclement when Yang Li's left and right Dark Wolf pounced towards him.
”Divine Flames Shrouding the Heavens!” Yang Li's mind tightened as he sent out a Divine Flame Burst into the sky, blocking the nether wolf on the right. He then sent another Flame Void in all directions to attack the nether wolf on the right.
