Chapter Ten: Advancing to the Inner Dan Realm
Advancement is still in progress, and a small energy storm has formed beside Lei Hao, constantly plundering the spiritual energy of Kanyu Mountain and an even wider range.
The Soy Sauce Party's 'Lei Hao' intently focused his mind on the increasingly dense spiritual energy within his body, pondering what to do next to advance. The amount of energy he could currently mobilize was negligible compared to the spiritual energy in his body, but even with the help of silver-white energy for advancement, it still required him to take the lead; otherwise, the spiritual energy would continue to run rampant within his body. "Devilish Muscle Man?" Lei Hao shuddered at the thought.
"Macrocosm? I'll just create a microcosm within my dantian, that should do it, right?" Lei Hao thought for half a day and this was the only stupid idea he could come up with. No choice, maybe he's the first little demon in history to be troubled by having too much spiritual energy inside him. The "Divine Demon Scripture" didn't have any solutions for this kind of situation. Since he'd thought of it, he might as well give it a try. At this point, there wasn't much else he could do anyway. If it didn't work, it's not like he'd die or anything.
Lei Hao began to gather a small group of pure spiritual energy wrapped in silver-white energy, starting to rotate a whirlpool. At first, it was very strenuous, but slowly, relying on the rotational inertia, it became faster and easier for Lei Hao. Before long, this small whirlpool grew to the edge of the large cycle, borrowing the inertial rotation of the large cycle. Poor Lei Hao once again played the role of "oil jar" in his own body. "Damn it, I'm the real protagonist!" Lei Hao cursed silently as he watched the 'large cycle' and 'small whirlpool' work together.
After a moment, Lei Hao discovered that in the center of the small whirlpool, a drop of milky white liquid with starry spots appeared. This was a precursor to the spiritual energy condensing into a liquid and advancing to the inner elixir realm. According to the records of "Shenmo Jue", only twenty drops of spiritual energy were needed to condense the inner elixir. When Lei Hao saw this drop, he let out a sigh of relief. After fighting wits and bravery with these uninvited spiritual energies for so long, his advancement had finally returned to normal.
"Two drops......" Lei Hao nervously stared at the second drop of spiritual liquid.
"Five drops......" Lei Hao looked at the fifth drop of spiritual liquid with excitement.
"Nineteenth drop......" Lei Hao's eyes were excited as he stared at the nineteenth drop of spiritual liquid.
"Alright, this is the fiftieth drop......" Lei Hao helplessly looked at the spiritual liquid that was still bubbling out.
"This is the hundredth drop of spiritual energy......" Lei Hao looked at the spiritual energy liquid that kept appearing with a headache.
"Wow, what the... How many drops is this?" Looking at the overflowing spiritual liquid in Dan Tian, Lei Hao was speechless.
At this time, Lei Hao's dantian had already been occupied by the whirlpool formed by the spiritual liquid. The spiritual energy that was still rotating only came out with half of its original amount when it entered the dantian. The spiritual storm surrounding Lei Hao also gradually thinned out. If he couldn't succeed in advancing this time, it would be very difficult for him to advance to the inner dan realm later on. This was because the formation of the spiritual storm was purely a coincidence. If he couldn't succeed in advancing this time, Lei Hao, an ordinary demon soldier, wouldn't know where to find such dense spiritual energy again. Even if he could find it, there was a high probability that it would come with an existence that could crush him with one hand.
Just as Lei Hao was worried and staring at his dantian, the rapidly rotating spiritual energy vortex contracted in waves, and a crystal that emitted a brilliant light appeared at its center.
"Nima, Xiao Neinei you finally came out......" Seeing the crystal Lei Hao couldn't help but 'tearfully'.
After the crystal appeared, various energies in Lei Hao's body rushed in like a swarm of birds returning to the forest. The spiritual energy and spiritual liquid decreased drastically, while the crystal slowly grew larger. When Lei Hao's body became empty, the crystal transformed into an internal elixir the size and shape of a ping-pong ball, a radiant and rotating internal elixir that continuously absorbed spiritual energy.
Lei Hao found that he could move, and he jumped up in an instant. His twisted face was filled with joy, but after celebrating for a moment, he smelled a foul odor on himself. He looked down to see that his fluffy skin was covered all over with garbage that had been expelled from his body. "Is this what it means to wash one's marrow?" Lei Hao, who was still in high spirits, didn't care about the stench at this point.
"It's indeed a twist and turn...” Lei Hao said with a lingering fear, from the beginning of his cultivation to advancing to the inner dan realm, all sorts of strange and bizarre things happened, and he almost lost his life. “I have to thank that silvery white energy, if not for it, I, Lei Hao, might have been reincarnated again, huh? Ah, right, where did that silvery white energy come from?” With some doubt, Lei Hao looked up at the pitch black sky and saw a bright moon hanging there, and suddenly understood.
He raised his hand to grab, but instead grabbed a thick cow horn. "It's really true that anything is possible." Lei Hao made a face that was so annoying it made people want to laugh, and he couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Suddenly, he realized that this pose seemed familiar, and as he thought about it, his expression became more and more strange. He suppressed his laughter and raised the corners of his mouth high, finally letting out a loud shout: "Our ancestors are '忽悠'ing you!" After shouting, he burst into wild laughter. Lei Hao, who had condensed his inner elixir, was really happy, and he finally took a step forward on the path of being a demon. He also finally broke free from being a miscellaneous evil king and became an independent demon.
Lei Hao was so excited that he didn't notice a dark cloud had appeared above his head at some point, with lightning flashing within it.
"What's going on, why do I have a feeling that I'm about to be ambushed?" Lei Hao was still learning the various poses of the Tauren in the previous life's World of Warcraft, and his heart was surging with excitement. He didn't know that this was called "heart blood", and he also didn't know that he was about to experience the first heavenly tribulation of his demonic life. "Could it be that the striped tiger demon is plotting against me? I do have some grudges against him?" Lei Hao, lost in thought, had fallen into a natural stupid trend and hadn't noticed the heavenly tribulation that was brewing above his head, about to strike down at any moment.
"Damn it...!" A bolt of heavenly thunder struck the top of Lei Hao's head, interrupting his random thoughts. The unguarded Lei Hao spat out a mouthful of smoke, and at this moment, he felt like his whole body was about to be cooked. "Son of a bitch, I hate being struck by lightning the most right now." Lei Hao cursed loudly in his natural stupid state, clearly still not reacting to what had just happened.
He looked up to see the violently rolling thunderclouds and Lei Hao's eyes widened in shock, "Damn it, not a heavenly tribulation?! Why didn't any of you demons tell me that breaking through the inner dan realm would require crossing a heavenly tribulation?!" Lei Hao was both shocked and enraged, his mouth constantly muttering curses as he mobilized his extraordinary powers to heal himself and cover his body with a defensive layer. He couldn't even think about who would be stupid enough to not warn a young demon like him that advancing to the inner dan realm required crossing a heavenly tribulation. At this point, Lei Hao could only grit his teeth and use the most primitive method of resisting the heavenly tribulation head-on, he had no idea if he could withstand it or not.
"Hum" Another heavenly thunderbolt struck Lei Hao's body, but Lei Hao, who was prepared, withstood it using his magical powers, without much consumption of his magical powers.
It seemed that he had heard the fragmented words from Lei Hao's mouth, and four heavenly thunders struck Lei Hao's body together, shattering the giant stone beneath him. Although he withstood it, Lei Hao's physical body also began to suffer injuries. The power of the heavenly thunder that invaded Lei Hao's body was swallowed by his cold and ruthless inner elixir, causing the surface pattern of the inner elixir to reveal a lightning pattern. The magical power emitted by the inner elixir, which contained the power of lightning, began to repair and transform Lei Hao's physical body, making it denser and more compact. Wave after wave of heavenly tribulation was like a large hammer constantly forging Lei Hao's physical body into a piece of iron.
During the heavenly calamity, after withstanding six thunderbolts, Lei Hao's heart did not calm down but instead became even more agitated. He stared intently at the still turbulent heavenly tribulation in the sky. Lei Hao felt a sense of calm before the storm, and his mind kept cursing: "I'm XX your wife or XX your sister, struck by lightning six times and still not letting up, what else do you want?" These words would have killed Lei Hao if he dared to utter them again. This heavenly calamity was too petty; just now, he almost got killed with a single careless word. If he spoke out again, he felt he would definitely die on the spot.
After brewing for half a moment, another heavenly thunderbolt finally fell, this one more powerful than the previous ones. It shook Lei Hao's robust and vigorous magic power, leaving him no time to adjust. A few seconds later, another heavenly thunderbolt came head-on, bursting into Lei Hao's body and causing his inner elixir to dim. Lei Hao's inner elixir seemed to be enraged by this heavenly thunderbolt, surging up with a burst of silver-white magic power towards the final heavenly thunderbolt. This ninth heavenly thunderbolt was equivalent to the total energy of the previous eight, shattering the surging magic power and directly striking the inner elixir, destroying half of it.
The lightning that shattered half of the inner elixir also became a strong crossbow, without energy replenishment, it and Lei Hao's thunderbolt in the dantian had a fierce battle, finally being occupied by the home court advantage (Lei Hao this human-shaped spirit air absorption machine) The inner elixir was swallowed clean, swallowing the power of Jie Lei's inner elixir, with dense thunder patterns on top, constantly flashing purple, silver and milky white light. Is this fate? His inner elixir contains the power of heavenly lightning, he may have to deal with thunder for his whole life.
The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and Lei Hao officially entered the Inner Dan realm. His soul also underwent the heavenly thunder baptism of this inner dan realm, and from then on, it bore the mark of the Western Journey world. His name also appeared in the Book of Earth and the Book of Life and Death, and from then on, he became a native of this world, and no one would ever be able to calculate his past life, not even Hong Jun.
Lei Hao hastily left the scene of his tribulation, not having time to clean up. The last heavenly thunder was so loud that if it attracted the attention of the Demon King of Chaos, things might get complicated. A little demon who had broken through to the inner elixir realm for the first time knew whether or not the Demon King would want to make a move.
Yunzhuan Fali, with a stride of ten zhang, Lei Hao quickly disappeared into the dense forest of Kanyuanshan...

Not long after Lei Hao left, a tall figure appeared in the empty space above the rubble. Under the bright moonlight, a ferocious face with an unpredictable expression emerged. Who else could it be but the Water Cave Demon King? This place was not close to the Water Cave, and he must have been attracted by the massive commotion caused by Lei Hao's final Heavenly Tribulation.
The Demon King of the Mortal World carefully examined the scattered stones on the ground, then used his divine sense to scan the surrounding area within a hundred miles. There was nothing suspicious, just the usual demons from the Water Cavern. "Who could it be? Besides Tiger Big, all the other demons in the Water Cavern are still far from reaching the Inner Dan realm... Could someone have successfully passed the Three Jiu Heavenly Tribulation, the most difficult tribulation of the Inner Dan realm? Or is there a thousand-year-old demon hiding in Kan Yuan Mountain that I'm not aware of?" After thinking for a while and unable to come up with an explanation, the Demon King's figure flickered and disappeared into the moonlight. For him, if he couldn't think of an answer, then it wasn't worth thinking about - after all, an Inner Dan demon was no match for his power.
Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, in a chaotic void, there was a simple and almost crude palace. This palace had only a few buildings, and it was shrouded in a thick, heavy, and peaceful atmosphere that was even more mysterious than the aura of immortals. The lotus flowers in front of the hall danced without wind, and they seemed ordinary, but when they moved, they revealed a hint of colorful light. On the plaque above the palace gate were written three ancient and simple characters: "Zi Xiao Palace".
This is the Daoist temple of Daozu Hongjun, the greatest BOSS in this world. At this moment, Daozu was sitting on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed, and when Lei Hao crossed the heavenly tribulation, Daozu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't notice anything and soon returned to his meditative state.
The heavenly tribulation is a kind of regulation that heaven and earth impose on practitioners. If we compare heaven and earth to a person, the spiritual energy would be equivalent to blood in the human body, while practitioners would be like fleas on the human body, relying on sucking the blood for survival. Therefore, practitioners will have heavenly tribulations, as well as quantitative tribulations, which are actually regulations that heaven and earth use to maintain their own balance, just like on Lei Hao's previous earth, there was a group of mice, every time this group of mice multiplied beyond the limit that their living environment could bear, they would collectively rush into the sea to commit suicide in order to protect the inheritance of their species.
It's just the Grand Dao Fifty, Tian Yun Forty-Nine. The ones that escaped are both infinite possibilities and a thread of life, so for those who cultivate Qi, even if they go through ten Heavenly Calamities, there will always be two successes, which is also related to their own Qi luck. The strong ones can only get stronger by constantly taking away others' Qi luck to pass the Heavenly Calamity, this is why the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Lei Hao's soul has no mark in this world, so when he passed the calamity, he was only able to rely on his cultivation to hard-block the strongest Three Nine Heavenly Calamity of the Inner Dan realm. Fortunately, Lei Hao withstood it.
Hong Jun is the agent of this world's will, and Tian Jie is also under his control. As a punitive force of heaven and earth, Tian Jie has a fixed number, but Lei Hao's Tian Jie is clearly beyond that number. The anomaly in the heavens directly startled Hong Jun, who can't calculate Lei Hao's cause and effect because after being branded by Tian Jie, Lei Hao became an inner elixir realm little demon in the Western Journey world, and crossing the tribulation was also a normal cultivation process. Hong Jun knows there is an anomaly but cannot find Lei Hao within the fixed number; moreover, from his level of view, even a small anomaly jumping out of the heavenly river can't see much of its fate, let alone turn over the waves.
