In the ancient era, the heavens generously provided, and anyone could ascend to immortality.
In the middle era, Nascent Soul cultivators roamed freely, and even Core Formation experts were co...
The dazzling five-colored ball of light transformed from magic power enveloped the fragments of the Hedao spiritual treasure.
At this moment, Shen Lian used his three-in-one "magic power". The magic power that was a fusion of yin and yang and the five elements burst out with astonishing killing power, like a rainbow light hitting the fragments of the spiritual treasure.
“Click.”
The fragments of the Hedao Lingbao, which already had fine cracks, split open a large crack under the attack.
Inside the fragments, the spirit of the weapon flashed wildly, mobilizing circles of thunder rules to manifest.
"This is your true strength!"
"You, you, you actually hid your clumsiness twice!"
Flashes of lightning suddenly appeared, and a strong breath of thunder erupted from the fragments of the spiritual treasure, forming a vague field in the shape of a thunder ball, trying to block the five elements of magic power rushing in.
However, before the ball-shaped field of thunder closed, a vague stone chime-shaped image appeared. A hint of purple was inlaid on the edge of the stone chime-shaped image, and it crashed directly into the broken fragments.
A trace of Tao rhyme rules originating from the innate purple light suppressed the resistance of the weapon spirit with a puff.
“Chiu!
Instantly, the phoenix pattern on the purple-rimmed stone chime transformed into a phoenix bird that directly grabbed the spirit of the instrument.
"Puff!"
The weapon spirit that appeared in the shape of a thunder beast was torn into several pieces by the phoenix claws while screaming, and the consciousness of the weapon spirit was flashing wildly.
"You have actually comprehended the rules of the soul path. How come this purple Dao rhyme has an innate aura!"
The torn spirit of the weapon wanted to gather the shattered spiritual power together again, but it was suppressed by the stone chime-like Dharma image hanging high in the air.
The soul rules of the first level naturally cannot suppress it. Even though it is only a small piece of the Sky Thunder Star and its spirit state is only a wisp of thought, its seventh-level quality is still there.
However, the purple edge inlaid on the Soul Dao Dharma Stone Chime exuded an innate aura, which immediately offset the pressure from the seventh-level quality.
"How could someone like you appear in Juntian Realm!"
The broken spirit of the weapon suddenly felt a little timid.
It was not like it had never seen someone extremely talented before, but this was the first time it had experienced this personally. Unfortunately, it was the target of suppression.
"Hoohoo!"
Even more colorful and terrifying energy rushed in continuously, along the cracks in the blasted debris, constantly expanding the cracks and constantly shattering the energy of thunder rules.
"Senior, you are a seventh-level Hedao spiritual treasure, how can you be so ignorant?"
At this moment, Shen Lian, whose whole body was swollen, sneered and swallowed elixirs and spiritual medicines related to the soul path in big mouthfuls. There were also a lot of top-grade spiritual stones in the sea of Dantian that shattered into pieces, and the "Spirit Root Tree" seemed to be burning, like a blaze of fire rising into the sky.
Outside the cave, the triple-sixth-grade superior formation had already been in operation. These three formations constituted the power of heaven, earth and man. Yin and Yang, the five elements, and Shen Lian himself constituted the core power of this formation.
When the formation was upgraded to the sixth-grade upper level, Shen Lian thought about building a portable formation, but due to the characteristics of the portable formation, the formation was not perfect.
But at this moment, facing a broken Hedao spirit weapon that is comparable to the Great Perfection of Lianxu, he naturally would not take it lightly.
Outside the Three Talents Formation, Fellow Daoist Huang and the other two wandered around, investigating what was happening around them while constructing a new defense method.
"Buzz!"
Inside the cave, two full moons, one emitting black and white light and the other colorful, hung high above Shen Lian's head. The edges of the two full moons kept touching and then merging.
This is the means of attack derived from the formation.
Once Shen Lian is unable to hold on, the two full-moon energies derived from the sixth-grade top-grade formation will bombard the fragments of the Hedao spiritual treasure.
By then, it won't just be two full moons setting.
At least eight rapid fire rounds.
It's right that you can't see the explosion point.
Directly use the energy on the fragments of the Hedao Lingbao to cause it to explode.
No matter how high the grade of the Hedao spiritual treasure is, it is now just a broken, cracked, bare piece of scrap copper and iron. It still thinks that this featherless phoenix is a fairy beast.
To be honest, after the Hedao Lingbao was broken, the spirit of the weapon was still able to evolve independently, which surprised Shen Lian a little.
But that's all.
He said he was in seclusion to heal his wounds, but his purpose was to investigate the level of this fragment of spiritual treasure.
The spirit of the weapon thought it had passed through the defense of the formation and was observing him, but it might be that he did it on purpose to test the strength of the spirit of the weapon.
If it weren't for this month's exploration of the depth of the matter, Shen Lian would not have acted so directly. At the very least, he would have to do the same as Zi Yang did in the beginning, pretending to be nice for a while, and then sharpening his knife before killing him.
Things are different now. He is no longer the little golden elixir he used to be, and the broken Hedao spirit is no longer Zi Yang.
Shen Lian finds the spirit of this broken spiritual treasure fragment very rare.
He wanted to improve so badly.
I really want to know some secrets related to Hedao.
When this broken spirit of the weapon came to my door, it really hit my heart.
If the weapon spirit had been a little more obedient, perhaps he would have delayed his action for a while. Unfortunately, this broken weapon spirit had fallen into such a state, and it still acted so high and mighty, as if it was treating him like a slave.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being high and mighty. Shen Lian doesn't care. As long as someone is willing to give him benefits, he doesn't mind giving him some sweet treats to fool him.
But this guy wanted to enter his Dantian for cultivation, which was a way to his death.
How could outsiders enter his Dantian? Not to mention the poor Hedao spirit weapon, even the real Hedao spirit weapon cannot enter. This is the bottom line.
I just don't know how many related secret memories this broken weapon spirit has inherited. Shen Lian is becoming more and more impatient.
"Send the senior on his way!"
Shen Lian tapped his dantian fiercely, and the 'Spirit Root Tree' became colorful, and the five elements of magic power evolved into an extremely dazzling inverted bowl, which fell towards the torn weapon spirit cover.
The consciousness of the weapon spirit, which had been torn into several pieces, was frantically trying to put itself back together.
Although it is broken, its aura is almost the same as that of a perfect refining void. It shouldn't be a big problem to refine the void vertically and horizontally, but I didn't expect that I had made a mistake.
"Crack." "Crack." The second large crack on the fragment appeared, followed by the third piece, and a large amount of thunder aura began to disappear.
Panic appeared in the consciousness of the weapon spirit, and it turned into several streaks of purple lightning that ran around inside the ruins.
However, the colorful inverted bowl fell down, directly splitting the spirit of the weapon into two and beginning to erase the spirit's spirituality.
"Why is your five elements magic so strange that it can actually wear down my third-level thunder rule?"
The screams of the weapon spirit were heard from the several chaotic purple lights, and blurry shadows of thunder beasts kept appearing, which were then crushed by the sharp claws of the attacking phoenix.
Every time it is crushed, its aura will decrease by one point.
"You haven't seen it, that's because you have low eyesight!"
Shen Lian snorted coldly. He was a little surprised that even the spirit of the Hedao weapon could not recognize the five elements magic power after it was combined.
Could it be that this kind of magic power is unique to him? "How did you break? Tell me nicely. Maybe we can walk the immortal path together. I can help you recover your original form, and it is unknown whether you can make further progress in the future."
"It's all because of my stupid original owner, a great Hedao demon at the twelfth floor level, who was snatched away by a human at the Dao foundation level. As a result, my body was also shattered."
"Is this what caused the turmoil in the Void Star Sea before?"
"Yes, the Void Star Sea will have a superimposed energy effect. The spatial turbulence caused by the battle between powerful monks will become a greater turbulence as the broken area increases."
"Do your other fragments have the same intelligence as you do?"
"Yes, I am a spiritual treasure of the Hedao. Once broken, my spirit can evolve into independent small individuals on its own. However, once we gather again, we will gather again."
"Can you sense the location of the other fragments?"
"The distance is too far to sense, but my friend, you are very powerful and you will definitely be able to find the other fragments left in the void star sea."
"The fragments of me that were shattered in the void star sea add up to almost half. As long as you can collect all of these fragments, you will have half of a spiritual treasure in your hand, which can at least increase your chances of surviving the nine-nine heavenly tribulations by half."
"Only half a percent increase?"
Shen Lian frowned slightly. What can a 50% probability do?
"A half-chance probability is already very high. You will understand when you go to Haotian Realm in the future. Even the top-notch Hedao holy lands have carefully calculated the spiritual objects they prepare for the Nine-Nine Heaven Tribulations cultivators. Even if there is a slight chance of assistance, there will be cultivators vying for them."
"From the questions you asked, I can tell that you have a limited vision. It seems that you are indeed a cultivator in the Juntian Realm. You are in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm and have killed four cultivators in the late stage of the Refinement Realm. You are also able to suppress my body, which is comparable to the Great Perfection of the Refinement Realm. Cangtian Realm."
"Having me by your side will definitely be a great help to you."
"You must be joking. Senior, your original owner is still alive. How can he assist me?"
"My original owner couldn't even defeat a human at the Dao Foundation level. When you pass through the nine-nine heavenly tribulations in the future, you can take back the other half of my body. When the time comes, the two bodies will be combined into a fourth-level thunder seal rule spiritual treasure. On the contrary, my current state is most suitable for you at your current level."
"Stop attacking first. I can assist you. I have a lot of secrets about Haotian and even Cangtian Realm. I know a lot about transcending tribulations. I can lend you a helping hand."
"You have no idea how difficult it is to pass the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dao. Not only is there a test from heaven and earth, but there is also the calamity of all living beings. If you want to pass the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, you have to be on guard against other cultivators. They definitely don't want another cultivator who has passed the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of the Dao to compete for the Dao."
"These are not things that Juntian Realm cultivators can participate in."
"And I know exactly this, and I can help you."
At this moment, the spirit of the weapon felt a little resentful.
You have such a foundation, why don't you bring it out earlier?
Originally thought to be at the late stage of refining emptiness, looking at the Three Realms and Nine Heavens Hedao Holy Land, he was barely a mid-level Hedao seed, and it was unknown how likely he could survive the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations.
But it didn't expect that the person in front of it not only pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger in front of several juniors in the late stage of the Refinement Realm, but with its eyesight it didn't even notice that this person pretended to be a pig twice.
You already have such fighting power, why should I be so high and mighty?
The human race is indeed the most insidious.
"It seems that the senior knows a lot? " "Of course, I am a Hedao Lingbao, one of the Leidao Seal Lingbao that has been baptized by the rules."
It is understandable that the weapon spirit went from being arrogant to being fawning, but it is a pity that Shen Lian could not let it live.
A spiritual treasure that still has an owner, he brings not opportunities but disasters.
No matter how powerful his foundation is, he is still at the Refining Void stage after all. Facing a great demon at the Hedao stage which is one level higher than the Dao Foundation stage, what is the difference between him and an ant.
"It's good to know more."
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lian opened and closed his mouth and blew gently.
The five elements of magic power that poured into the broken pieces of the spiritual treasure was like a spark falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting a blazing five-colored flame.
From the very beginning, Shen Lian's magic power was able to purify the ore. At this moment, the three-in-one magic power served as fuel, and the flames suddenly became more intense, turning into a blazing furnace.
The colorful flames passed through the cracks on the fragments, covering the spiritual treasure fragments inside and out.
"ah!"
The spirit of the weapon began to scream.
In the space within the spiritual treasure fragments, the consciousness of the spirit of the weapon flashed wildly.
It couldn't believe why it wanted to destroy itself.
I am a part of the Hedao Lingbao, a Hedao Lingbao!
"Sizzle!"
At this moment, the edge of the broken fragments and the sharp body of the spiritual treasure began to turn red little by little under the burning of the five-colored spiritual fire, and showed signs of being about to melt.
"You... you are only in the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage. How can you melt my body?"
"It must be this kind of five elements magic power. Who are you?"
The spirit of the weapon sensed the scene in front of it with horror. If it was a fellow cultivator of the seventh rank, it would not be so horrified, but the one who was offering sacrifice to it was just a human cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
"I am willing to acknowledge you as my master, and I am willing to assist you in advancing to the Dao."
With a start, the weapon spirit reacted and begged for mercy.
If it can be melted in the middle stage of Refining Void, then it will be soaring after being promoted to the seventh level. The one who has just entered the twelfth floor realm... What kind of person was the previous owner? He will never be able to reach the twelfth floor in his lifetime.
The more the spirit of the weapon flashed wildly, the more countless memories the stone chime-shaped Dharma image hanging high in the spirit's space captured.
"ah!"
The weapon spirit felt pain and wanted to roll up the rules of thunder to resist, but it was trapped under a large colorful bowl. In pain, it also realized that Shen Lian really wanted to refine it to death.
"Young man, you really dare to destroy me. I am a spiritual treasure of the Hedao. I still have other fragments scattered outside. Even if my spiritual power is destroyed, my other fragments can still sense the breath of this fragment."
…
Listening to the roar of the weapon spirit before it broke, Shen Lian stuffed another handful of elixirs into his mouth.
Sure enough, even if there was only a fragment of the Hedao spiritual treasure, the quality of the spirit of the weapon was stronger than that of a top-grade sixth-level spiritual treasure. It was just that there was not much spirituality in this fragment, otherwise he would not be sure to destroy it.
"Sizzle!"
The five-colored flames continued to roll, and finally a drop of purple liquid fell from the fragments of the Hedao Lingbao.
A drop of liquid exuded a strong scent of thunder.
"Hoohoo!"
Shen Lian was breathing heavily, his expression filled with extreme fatigue, and his mana was greatly depleted.
Being able to suppress this weapon spirit was a blessing in disguise for him. It would take more than a short time to destroy it.
So he chose another method, which was to blast the consciousness of the weapon spirit into countless pieces, and then destroy them one by one.
The divine consciousness rushed into the fragments of the spiritual treasure again, sensing the free spirituality remaining inside. The consciousness belonging to the spirit of the weapon had dissipated into tens of thousands of pieces, and each one was still clamoring, but the strongest aura of each one was only at the level of transformation into a spirit.
"receive!"
In an instant, he collected the fragments of the spiritual treasure into the small world on his body, and then a series of sixth-grade top-grade formations surrounded the fragments.
"Phew, I have plenty of patience. I will wear you down little by little and grab all the information."
Life is full of surprises. What he wanted most before was to enter the library of Juntian Pavilion, but he didn't expect to run into a broken Hedao spirit weapon this time.
The memories contained in this spirit weapon made Shen Lian's horizons expand rapidly.
"On the mountain, Baiyujing, the fifth floor of the twelfth floor!"
A sentence in the weapon spirit's memory made Shen Lian understand the three realms of the He Dao level.
This realm is no longer divided into small levels like Huashen and Lianxu, but is divided into three relatively independent but closely related realms.
Dao base, Twelve Floors, Yujing.
This is the third realm of harmony.
In the Dao Foundation Realm, after the third transformation of the rules of the Lianxu cultivator, the field of rules is initially derived. After being promoted to the Hedao Realm, it is necessary to integrate the rule spirit objects on this basis to build the foundation of the immortal path.
In other words, cultivators in the Dao Foundation Realm who have not integrated the rules and spiritual objects and cultivators who are preparing to overcome the heavenly tribulation are actually in the third level of the rules realm.
The foundation of Taoism is the process of integrating into spiritual objects.
There are two types of Taoist spiritual objects.
One is to comprehend the rules by oneself and condense a rule-carrier by oneself.
One is to find the corresponding original spiritual object as the carrier of its own rules.
Each of these two methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. I won't go into details about how the spirit of the weapon remembers the details. In short, in the six heavens of the Haotian and Cangtian realms, there are cultivators who take these two paths.
After refining the foundation of Taoism, the next step is the twelfth level.
This realm is very interesting. According to legend, there is a fairy mountain in the chaos. The mountain has twelve floors and five cities, where fairies live.
Later, after tens or hundreds of millions, or even longer years, the cultivation methods of the monks gradually became the names of the realms of cultivation.
After a cultivator has achieved the twelfth level, the next stage is Yujing.
According to the memory of the spirit of the weapon, every cultivator who has cultivated to the Yujing realm has a different Yujing.
It is difficult to describe this state of mind. It is different for different people. It is similar to finding one's own path.
"The White Jade Palace on the mountain has the fucking 12th floor and 5th floor, which is quite romantic."
"I don't know which mountain it is, but I heard there is a mountain called Changsheng with tall buildings on it."
Shen Lian exhaled a fragrant breath out of inspiration, and then his expression turned ugly.
This broken spirit of the weapon really didn't lie to him.
It is really difficult to overcome the heavenly tribulation of the Hedao.
The heavenly calamity is the nine-nine heavenly thunders, and the internal calamity is the heavenly demon. These are all tests from heaven and earth.
In addition to this, there are external disasters, which are disasters caused by foreign creatures that block the way.
After a cultivator achieves the Dao, he can sense the rules of heaven and earth more clearly. In the eyes of a cultivator who achieves the Dao, the rules of heaven and earth are like lines hanging across heaven and earth.
Lines of rules stretch across the sky like strings of a musical instrument.
Therefore, the monks of Hedao call it the regular string.
A very descriptive name.
But this string that stretches across the sky is filled with "he\she\it\him".
When a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, because the Taoist rules he comprehended are so powerful, even after his death, some marks will still be left between heaven and earth, and it will take a long time to dissipate.
To take the simplest example, the spells cast by foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators will sometimes manifest the shapes of fire dragons, fire winds, water snakes, mountain apes, etc. according to their attributes.
Even ordinary monks, when creating spells, would compare their spells to the legends based on the rumors passed down.
Legends in the eyes of low-level monks are not just legends.
It really exists.
Even if they have fallen, because their comprehension of a certain Dao during their lifetime was so profound that the related Dao essence will remain indestructible after their death.
For example, in the fire element, the most famous ones are Golden Crow and Vermillion Bird.
For each kind of great rule, there are marks of varying numbers and rotations. Some come from ancient times. Because the marks are so strong that no one can surpass them later, they remain there.
Some are in a state of being constantly replaced.
The vast fairy world has been multiplying for countless years. To the fairy world, even a million years is just a short time.
But a million years is enough to give birth to a group of Hedao monks. Maybe there will be one who has made outstanding comprehension in a certain way, and the wave behind will push the wave in front and pull it off the strings.
Ordinary cultivators naturally cannot see it if they have not reached that level, but when they advance to the level of He Dao, the strings of rules will appear in the eyes of the cultivator.
Even more, if you have mastered a certain rule to a certain level, you can also hang it up and replace the original mark, allowing everyone to worship you.
There are naturally many benefits to hanging on the strings of rules. The most important one is that you can get close to the rules of the Tao, which is a very powerful auxiliary force in comprehending the rules.
This also creates a very practical problem.
Tao dispute.
Monks of the same attributes may become enemies accidentally.
For example, the ancestor of a certain Hedao holy land was naturally friendly to the way of fire, and had reached the level of mastery of the fire attribute of the fourth-turn rule, thus replacing the original mark of the corresponding rule of the fourth-turn fire attribute.
With the ancestor hanging on the strings of the zither, the cultivators in their own holy land can naturally lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and their practice of fire-related cultivation will be prosperous.
Suddenly, a seed of the Dao who was very fond of the Fire Element appeared in a certain holy land, and it just so happened that the two sides had some overlap in their comprehension of the Fire Element.
So, do you think we should take precautions in advance or just let it happen? This is the external disaster in the weapon spirit's memory.
To be more precise, if one cannot survive the external calamity, he will not be qualified to face the natural calamity and will be killed in advance.
The reality is even more terrifying than this. Each of the strings of the rules can hold many cultivators, but the inheritance of the fairy world is too long, and most of the positions have been occupied.
Some cultivators are extremely powerful in a certain area, such as the basic rules of the five elements, wind, thunder, etc. They have an extraordinary talent for comprehending these basic principles and are the best among their peers.
But the problem is that when you get to the regular strings, you will find that, damn, every one of the marks hanging on them is the best of the same generation, and they are all the best in the grade.
Each one of them is either a Taoist tyrant or a fairy.
Hey, it’s like the true teaching of the Jindan Sect. After arriving at the Yuanying Sect, I suddenly found that my own talent seemed to have dropped to the level of an inner disciple of the Yuanying Sect.
But the fact is, your talent has not changed, and the number of monks with the same talent as you has increased. What's even more speechless is that there are many who are more talented than you.
If you can comprehend a certain path to perfection it is because you are gifted. If others can comprehend a certain path to perfection it is because the perfection of that path is just like that. Maybe they can even comprehend several flowers and raise the upper limit of that path.
Over the long years, there have been too many evildoers like this, and they have occupied all the good positions.
A cultivator who can manifest a mark on the strings of rules will not be affected by the mark of rules even if he dies.
Unless a cultivator challenges and defeats the mark left behind, it will completely disappear between heaven and earth.
If later generations fail to comprehend others’ level, they can only look at the mark and sigh, unable to take their place and occupy a better position, and can only eat the leftovers.
On the contrary, the marks on the regular strings, which are not particularly outstanding, rotate most frequently.
Gradually, the distribution of the marks on the strings of rules solidified, and in order to stabilize their respective inheritances, the major forces in the fairy world formed camps based on their own ethnic groups, or different ethnic groups with common interests.
Everyone's primary goal is to prevent the mark within their own camp from being taken down, and the other is to train their younger disciples to compete for new marks.
In addition, the threatening seeds of Hedao are strangled everywhere.
Of course, if you are a cultivator who has achieved enlightenment through a single rule, you can relax a little.
Generally speaking, this level of Hedao cultivators stop at the foundation of Taoism and are not qualified to compete for becoming the mark of rules. They can only eat scraps in the gaps of the strings of rules.
"Fortunately, after becoming a rule mark, I can choose to manifest myself. It would be bad if even my true self was exposed."
Shen Lian pondered, then scratched his head. He was thinking too much. He was only in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, but he was already thinking about hanging on the strings of the zither.
"As expected, the heavens have rules, and living beings have strategies."
Afterwards, Shen Lian discovered something interesting.
The original body of the broken spiritual treasure, Tianlei Zixing, is a spiritual treasure with the mark of the fourth-level thunder rule. The reason why this guy can hang on the strings of the zither is not because of how powerful it is, but because it has the support of a good force and was forcibly pushed up.
The purpose is to absorb enough power from the rules of thunder to survive the fifth spiritual tribulation and transform into a five-turn spiritual treasure.
"Amazing, you can even do this."
"It's really different when you have a powerful backer!"
The master of Tianleizixing, Wuniujiao, comes from Xingxiu Palace and is a big demon who has recently entered the twelfth floor.
Because of his great contributions, he was able to have the Tianlei Zixing hung on the strings of rules in the hope of being able to advance.
"Too powerful, even the rule mark has become a card slot for brushing up strength."
"The Immortal Sect."
Shen Lian's face looked a little unhappy. It was really eye-opening for him that the public property of heaven and earth had become the private property of one family.
“Spirit Wood Immortal Palace, Kunpeng Palace, and Yuxu Immortal Realm can actually communicate with the Nine Revolutions Rules Seal. No wonder they are so superior to other Hedao Holy Lands and so proud of themselves.”
…
"The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations are already terrifying enough, but this external tribulation... isn't it a bit too late to join a force now?"
Shen Lian smiled bitterly.
At this moment, I suddenly found that it was a bit difficult.
Compared with the Hedao holy land in Cangtian Realm, Juntian Pavilion is nothing. It doesn’t even have the qualifications to compete for the mark.
In the memory of the broken spirit, there was a huge human camp in the fairy world, but it was very chaotic internally. There were also many enemies in the human camp, and they were all trying to kill each other's potential cultivators.
"Needless to say, I am automatically classified as a human."
"No wonder there are only two holy places in Juntian Realm. It seems that the two holy places in the upper realm are not willing to play with garbage."
"No one should have noticed me now, so I should be safe for now."
After exhaling, Shen Lian showed a complicated expression.
He was thinking about whether he should go to Cangtian Realm to find a human supporter, and then show his domineering power to terrify some ancestors of the human camp.
He was dug out from his ancestral tomb, shouting "such a terrifying talent", and then brought into the mountain gate. He was directly equipped with protectors and various spiritual objects for facilitating the passage of tribulations, in order to establish himself as the hope of the human race.
Now that Fellow Daoist Lu is here, the path to immortality is open!
After a moment, Shen Lian shook his head and rejected this unrealistic idea.
All races in the fairy world say that the human race has an extremely complex temperament. Compared to looking for a backer, it is better to be your own backer.
It was right to kill everyone before. This talent must not be exposed until the final tribulation.
It would be best to get through all nine tribulations in one go, astonish everyone, hide your achievements and fame, and then run all the way.
"The fairy world is so big, who can outrun me?"
"No, we can't stop here anymore. Close the stall and go somewhere else."
"Old Huang, clear the way ahead."
…
Half a year later.
In a meteorite area that was flickering with ochre light, Shen Lian opened up a new cave.
He was not doing anything else now, and was concentrating all his efforts on refining the broken fragments of the Hedao spiritual treasure, trying to completely refine it into mineral gold.
Isn't it said that the spirit of the weapon will be sensed by other fragments, so just restore it to its original settings.
In addition, the consciousness of the spirit of the weapon in this fragment must also be completely erased. Otherwise, once it merges with the spirituality in other fragments, the communication information between this spirit of the weapon and Shen Lian will also be leaked.
Therefore, the most important thing is to do nothing but destroy the body and cover up all traces.
During this process, Shen Lian discovered that he could also improve the degree of integration of his three kinds of magic power. Although the speed was far inferior to that of cultivation, he could actually feel the meridians in his body slowly integrating.
This process consumed too much energy, and all the sixty-seven storage magic treasures that had been snatched away were unlocked. The spiritual objects inside were of various kinds, including spiritual medicines, minerals, spiritual stones, and talismans.
But Shen Lian's mind was on refining the fragments of He Dao. He only took out the elixirs and top-grade spirit stones to maintain the refining process, and threw the remaining spiritual objects into the small world on his body for the three little ones to take care of.
Compared with the value of these storage magic treasures, the information brought by the spirit of the broken Hedao magic treasure is the biggest gain this time.
These are secrets that are difficult for cultivators below the Hedao level to access, especially in the Juntian realm, where the information seems to be stuck.
Shen Lian in the cave was covered in colorful light, and the meridians in his body lit up like winding lush branches. He was immersed in an extremely mysterious perception.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
…
ten years.
Thirty years.
…
Eighty years...
“Buzz!”
In the portable cave, the last wisp of the spirit of the weapon turned into ashes. Shen Lian opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Finally, this little spirit was worn away.
Although he had been hiding in a cave all these years with three guards outside, he was always in fear.
The spirit of the weapon was destroyed, and one third of the fragments had been refined.
During this process, the degree of fusion of the meridians in the body reached 11%, an increase of one tenth compared to before.
The fusion process was very slow, but Shen Lian was still very surprised.
The fragment has lost its spirit, and with the obstruction of the portable small world, unless He Dao comes to find it personally, the probability of the remaining fragments being able to sense the whereabouts of this fragment is extremely low.
The reason why Shen Lian didn't refine the fragments into a completely recycled state in one go was mainly because he didn't want to stay in the Void Star Sea any longer.
The space turbulence is becoming more and more severe, and other fragments are also scattered in the void star sea. It is not safe to stay here at this time.
The most important thing is to return to Juntian City.
At that time, the worst that can happen is that I can come back again and throw away the seventh-level thunder-attribute ore gold that has been re-melted.
In addition, the high-level spiritual medicines in his own small world and the high-level spiritual medicines in the spoils of war were all used by him as supplementary spiritual medicines to refine the fragments of the He Dao.
If it weren't for the mysterious magic power in his body, there would be no way for him to refine the body of a seventh-level spiritual treasure in the middle stage of the refining void. In this way, the consumption of maintaining himself naturally increased.
As for the remaining things, some were destroyed and thrown into the void starry sea, while some were stored in the warehouse for future use.
…
Next, Shen Lian traveled through the void starry sea for who knows how many miles, and finally encountered a giant ship and boarded the boat, arriving at Xuanshan.
He then boarded a giant ship in Xuanshan, and after changing several times on the way, he finally returned to Juntian City.
Standing on the broad stone platform outside Juntian City, Shen Lian let out a long sigh. This trip home to visit relatives was full of twists and turns.
It is really exciting to spend nine thousand years wandering around.
When I returned to Tianchen Mountain, I found that the cave I left behind was still there.
Not only did no other monks move in, but there were also two familiar, somewhat dazed figures at the door.
Two puppets in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm stood outside the cave entrance, one on the left and one on the right.
"So it's these two fellow Taoists."
Standing at the door, Shen Lian looked at the two puppets. Ou Cunjie really kept his word and turned the two into puppets and sent them over.
He opened the restrictions on the cave, and with a wave of his hand, a light breeze blew up, sweeping away the dust in the cave.
Without doing anything else, Shen Lian simply leaned back on the couch and collapsed.
This trip out makes me really tired.
The more he learned from the broken spirit of the weapon, the more unhappy he became.
In the past, one only needed to accumulate spiritual objects step by step, and then fight for the secret treasure for transcending the tribulation after reaching the perfection of refining emptiness. Once everything was prepared, one could transcend the nine-nine heavenly tribulations.
Now, we have to make other preparations to prevent it from being strangled prematurely.
Yes, he is hiding very well now. The cultivators from all sides in Cangtian Realm and Haotian Realm don't care about Juntian Realm.
But since it concerns the path, we cannot rely on others' negligence.
Who knows if there will be some old scheming idiot who, when he has nothing better to do, will deduce the good and bad fortune of the forces he belongs to, and vaguely deduce that he, He Dao, will follow the path of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements as his destiny.
After walking from the Yunxiao Realm to the Xianling Realm, the only thing that Shen Lian felt most deeply was that there were pots everywhere, each more sinister than the other, and it was impossible to guard against them.
Even Pei Tianlan is impersonated by someone. What the hell is this world?
"It's not possible, someone must be doing this!"
Suddenly, Shen Lian's eyes shrank.
They have all become immortal families. How do they maintain their lofty status? The immortals flatter each other, suppress dissidents, kill those who stand out, treat them to drinks, and accept them as dogs.
After all, immortals are also half human. When comparing their seven emotions and six desires with those of mortals, which one do you say is noble and which one is inferior?
"We can't just collect resources anymore, we have to make arrangements in advance."
Here Shen Lian was sitting slumped in thought when a figure fell outside the cave.
"Friend Ji, you really kept me waiting. I thought you had accidentally died outside."
Shen Lian opened his eyes and looked at who was the guy who couldn't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Needless to say, it was Ou Cunjie, the guy with the nose and eyes in the sky.
"Middle stage of the Void Refining Realm!"
When Ou Cunjie entered the cave entrance, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. This guy has actually advanced to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage. It has probably been less than a thousand years.
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Ji advance to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage?"
Ou Cunjie walked into the cave with a swagger and found a place to sit down.
"Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied with the two gifts at the door?"
"satisfy."
Shen Lian nodded. He came back this time to demonstrate his strength in the middle stage of Refining Void in order to advance to the sixth stage intermediate alchemist in a natural way, and also to better obtain the resources for subsequent cultivation.
"As expected of a monk from the Holy Land, your cultivation speed is beyond my reach."
Shen Lian gave an appropriate compliment. After obtaining the fragments of the Hedao spiritual treasure from the Void Star Sea, his thoughts had also subtly changed during this period of time.
His previous desire to enter Juntian Pavilion to look for relevant information has faded a little. Even the spirit of the Hedao spiritual treasure does not know the secret of the relevant changes in his body, so it is not certain that the Juntian Pavilion may have it.
However, we still have to come to Juntian City, as it is related to the next step of seizing cultivation resources.
I just got back and Ou Cunjie came to my door.
A true disciple from a holy land comes to find an alchemist. If it's not for refining pills or something else, the relationship they have maintained for so many years has not been in vain.
“The way back was exciting.”
Ou Cunjie was also making small talk, as if he wanted to say a few words of concern and continue to maintain the relationship.
Now the tides of clarity and turbidity are coming, and the void star sea is in turmoil.
"It was quite exciting. The huge ship was shaking like a small boat and almost capsized many times."
Speaking of the Xu family's giant warship that they had taken from Tianxing Fairy City before, since the Dong family cultivator in charge was at the highest point of the giant warship, it seemed that he did not escape.
"Friend Ji, I came to your house just after you came back. It's really urgent."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ou Cunjie changed the subject and continued, "According to Juntian Pavilion's investigation, the first wave of clear and turbid tides will impact the Star Sea Barrier in sixty years.
By then, it is possible that many spiritual objects will be washed out from the corners, so many cultivators now have to gear up and prepare to welcome this great opportunity.
Naturally, there will be disputes during this period. Now many of my brothers and sisters in the pavilion are also working hard to comprehend spells and improve their strength.
Many of the elixirs made by the alchemists in the pavilion were quickly exchanged for."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lian pretended that his eyes lit up. He rushed back despite the danger of the Void Star Sea, just to make this profit.
"What a coincidence. I encountered some good fortune this time. My alchemy skills have improved. It will be no problem for Fellow Daoist Ou to satisfy his daily spiritual elixir cultivation."
Seeing a big customer coming to his door, he naturally wanted to show his strength.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, you may be able to refine the Secret Life-Suspension Pill."
Hearing this, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ou Cunjie, "Fellow Daoist Ou, you have a bright future and hope to achieve the Dao in the future. What do you need this kind of elixir for?"
"There is hope for the fart."
Ou Cunjie scolded coldly, "Every thousand years, there will be a few more people who have the potential to achieve the Dao in Juntian Realm, but now there are only two people who have achieved the Dao in Juntian Realm, and one is about to die of old age! In the information collected by Lingmu Immortal Palace, everyone said that they had the potential to achieve the Dao, but in the end, they all died miserably. Daoist Fellow Ji, do you believe this nonsense?"
As he spoke, Ou Cunjie took out a jade box that contained many spiritual seals.
"This is the elixir needed for the Suspension Life Secret Pill. Can Fellow Daoist Ji refine it?"
"Friend Ou, since you have said so, how can I refute you?"
Shen Lian looked at the jade box and smiled bitterly, "I woke up. This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me. Brother Ou can take out the Houtu contract. Without the contract, I'm afraid you will kill me to silence me."
"I promise to be good and not reveal your last-ditch trump card."
