In the previous round, he had used twenty-nine of them in order to impact Mortal Transformation First Realm. The remaining 40% was sucked away by the vortex, and 60% was used by him to temper his body. Calculated, he absorbed about eighteen of them.
According to Commander Shao, it is enough for a monk to absorb a dozen to thirty wish beads to escape from the mortal world through a calamity.
Even if he takes the upper limit, counting thirty, he still needs to absorb twelve.
To absorb twelve, twenty wish beads are needed. Now he has accumulated twenty-three wish beads, and he has reached the conditions for impacting Mortal Transformation First Realm.
At this thought, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel agitated, but he didn't show the slightest strangeness as he lay flat under the tree.
The Golden Crow falls in the west, the Jade Rabbit rises in the east, Xu Yi is still sleeping under the big tree, and Cheng Yan is still sitting next to him, his eyes wide open, looking around warily.
Zhong Wu, Cheng Lian and others either returned to the barracks to rest or lay down on the grassy slope.
Seeing that morning was approaching, Xu Yi opened his eyes, patted Cheng Yan on the shoulder, and said softly, "Be on guard here." Then, he got into the dense forest not far away.
Although Cheng Yan didn't know what Xu Yi asked him to be careful about, since Xu Yi told him, he followed it.
Of course he didn't know what Xu Yi meant by "warning", but he just didn't bother to explain it to him.
Xu Yi went into the dense forest, found a cliff, carved out a cave abode, and dived in.
At this time, a white halo has broken through in the eastern sky.
After sitting down in the cave, Xu Yi took out a wish bead, mobilized Cloud Crane Pure Qi, and circulated it into the vortex in his body. At the same time, he ran Wish Transformation Art, and the wish bead dispersed in an instant, turning part of the wish power into the vortex, and part of it dispersed into his body.
Wrathful Chi Aspect is completed, three Dragon Gates is broken, and Xu Yi circulates the power of will again, just like Yu Feng riding a boat across the river, extremely brisk and without any stagnation.
He opened the wish beads one by one, quenching his wish power, and the billowing heat in his body moved crazily towards his lower limbs.
When the fifth wish bead was opened, the tendons, bones, and texture of Infant Essence's lower limbs were melted and transformed into purple. When the twelfth wish bead was opened, the tendons, bones, and texture of both lower limbs were transformed into pale gold.
When the twentieth wish bead was opened, it was still pale gold.
Xu Yi was dissatisfied, so he threw in the twenty-one, twenty-two, and last wishing beads. They were still pale gold and could not be transformed into pure gold. There was no such thing as the feeling of breaking through a layer of heaven and giving rise to new insights.
After receiving the gong, Xu Yi sat upright in a daze.
He has reached the upper limit of absorbing thirty wish beads. Logically speaking, he should reach the level of transcendence. What is going on?
At the moment, he took out Ruyi Pearl and called up the questions he had asked everyone about the achievement of the Mortal Transformation First Realm.
The answers of the three commanders were consistent, and the answer of Commander Shao was also the same, but with two more words "average".
At that time, Xu Yi didn't think about it carefully, but now that I think about it, I immediately found psychological comfort.
This is generally the case, but when I live "normally", it is not a sin, it is something.
When his thoughts reached this point, he understood.
Looking up at the sky, a red sun was gushing out. Thinking that the time was almost up, he left the cave and rushed towards the camp.
He emerged from the woods and saw Cheng Yan still standing under the tree, looking out, feeling apologetic in his heart.
He just stepped onto the green grass slope and saw the dining hall, which was about to be closed and locked.
Immediately, the sound of drums was heard, but it was time to gather the troops and set off. If the drums fell, if they didn't come, they would be punished as "missing the deadline" and would be sentenced to death.
Xu Yi grabbed Cheng Yan and ran towards the martial arts arena with his body like lightning.
When Xu Yi arrived at the school ground, the team had already begun to form. He had clear eyes and found his team at a glance. Zhong Wu was stretching his neck and looking around.
Not long after Xu Yi returned to the team, Regimental Commander began to line up for each song. The chilling west wind accompanied the desolate horns, and a smell of iron horse fighting arose spontaneously.
Having participated in nine battles, this was the first time that troops had been assembled on such a large scale to review soldiers. I could tell with my toes that the upcoming battle would be a fierce one.
After the horn was blown, the formation of the team was completed. Thousands of people gathered in the huge martial arts field. On the high platform in the distance, an elder Xuanjia delivered a speech loudly to boost morale, and the audience cheered endlessly.
Every soldier's face turned red, and even the veteran Zhong Wu kept waving his arms.
Just because the elder Xuan Jia on the stage made a promise, after this battle, everyone's rewards will be doubled. If you make outstanding achievements, you will be generously rewarded. The audience cheered and cheered, and Xu Yi was also very excited.
After traveling through several realms, he has never encountered such a simple and crude thing as the wishing bead.
Especially since he has that weird whirlpool, for him, the wish bead and strength can almost be directly equated.
It can be said that as much as he desires strength, he desires the Wish Pearl.
After the old man Xuan Jia on the stage finished speaking, the team set off.
After half a stick of incense, the army marched outside Guangling City.
The war started around Guangling City, and the same was true for the nine previous wars Xu Yi experienced.
At first, Xu Yi couldn't understand that since it is a war, it has its own laws.
The so-called soldiers are deceitful. How can they choose the same battlefield again and again?
Later, Xu Yi figured out that the root of everything was the wishing cloud on Guangling City, which had gradually turned into pure gold.
Wish clouds turn into gold, which means wish beads will be formed at any time.
In times of peace, there would naturally be specialized agencies responsible for collecting wish beads, but now it is the time of war, and no one can allow such a huge amount of resources to be taken away by the other party.
As for the condensation of the wish beads, no one can measure the exact time, so the war can only start around Guangling City.
This kind of head-on confrontation is extremely cruel to both sides of the war. There is no way to change the situation and they can only fight each other like wild beasts.
However, as far as Xu Yi knows, many of the previous battles were far less huge than this one.
He also secretly guessed the reasons. One was that the distance wish beads condensed. In an instant, if the thieves could not be eliminated at this stall, without the wish beads to contain them, it would be difficult to control the whereabouts of the thieves.
In the two battles, even the powerful soldiers showed signs of exhaustion. In the previous battle, Xu Yi had never failed to recruit enough troops, but now, it had to merge two soldiers into one.
This shows that the rebels are powerful and that the government soldiers are showing signs of being unsustainable.
Many signs indicate that this battle will be different from the past.
Even Xu Yi, who had been dawdling around for a long time, had to prepare for an all-out battle.
And the fact that he chose to refine all the more than twenty wish beads in the early morning is the best proof.
In the first nine battles, although he did not escape for his life like Cheng Lian said, he indeed did not show his due strength.
This time, he refined more than twenty wish beads, allowing the whirlpool to temporarily disappear from the body and resume the use of spiritual power. This was precisely the preparation for this battle.
