With Fu Yushu's protection, Fu Changling's breakthrough went much more smoothly than he had imagined. Fu Yushu's magical instruments blocked most of the thunder. As it thundered down, Fu Changling quickly activated the magic formula he had mastered during his previous life's breakthrough. Then, amidst the thunder, he reshaped his golden body and entered the realm of transcendence.
Fu Yushu was gazing into the distance, holding a sword. Several figures in white slowly emerged in the air, and then solidified into entities, standing beside Fu Yushu.
The leader looked to be no more than twenty years old. He was wearing white clothes and a jade crown, with red spider lilies embroidered on the hem of his clothes. He had a white silk three fingers wide covering his eyes, as if he could see. Together with Fu Yushu, he looked at Fu Changling in the distance.
"It's really rare to reach the Tribulation Stage before the age of twenty."
The man in white sighed, but Fu Yushu remained expressionless, saying, "I thought Young Master Su would know."
"How do you know?"
Su Wenji smiled. Fu Yushu sat with his sword in his arms and said, "I heard that most of the Su family members didn't attend the Immortal Alliance Ceremony today."
"I heard that the head of the Fu family didn't attend the Immortal Alliance Ceremony today, but sent the entire Fu family there, saying it was a sign of solemnity."
When Su Wenji asked this question, Fu Yushu knew that Su Wenji already knew his plan.
"How's the construction of the Su family's Qiankun City progressing?" Fu Yushu turned to look at Su Wenji. Su Wenji looked calm and nodded, saying, "We've already sent people to take the remaining cultivators to Qiankun City."
Fu Yushu didn't say anything. The two of them stared into the distance in silence. The mountain breeze made Su Wenji's clothes flutter. Fu Yushu was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "I heard that when you were nine years old, you suddenly gained a pair of divine eyes. Can you tell me what you comprehended and saw that night?"
"If I could tell, why didn't I tell you earlier?"
Su Wenji's expression was calm: "Master Fu, you only need to know that the Su family has done everything they can."
"Yunze's life or death now depends entirely on Master Fu," Su Wenji said calmly.
As he was speaking, a bolt of lightning as thick as a dragon came crashing down, rushing straight towards Fu Changling. After the lightning hit the ground, it stirred up a gust of wind. Fu Yushu and Su Wenji raised their hands to block the wind with their sleeves. Fu Yushu held the sword tightly with some nervousness.
That is, at the moment when the thunder fell, the formation in the blood-transforming pool desperately absorbed the power of thunder.
In the distant Hongmeng Palace, Jiang Yebai stepped on the blood-stained ground, holding a long sword in his hand, and sat on the throne of the Palace Master of Hongmeng Palace again under the gaze of a group of demon cultivators.
He slowly closed his eyes, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Help me!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down, and spiritual power slowly rose from their bodies, floating to the tip of Jiang Yebai's sword and gathering.
Inside the Blood Transformation Pool, the patterns of the formation slowly lit up, and then swam around like a spirit snake, measuring all the patterns. However, in an instant, the entire Blood Transformation Pool lit up, and the Yin Qi nodes that Fu Changling had set up over a period of time to block the formation instantly exploded under the bright light!
The patterns on Jiang Yebai's scroll and the patterns on the Blood Transformation Pool finally combined together, and the Blood Transformation Pool shook instantly.
Fu Changling noticed that the situation had changed, but under the impact of the last wave of thunder, he didn't care about anything. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to merge the power of thunder and the spiritual power that was about to explode in his tendons and veins. It was as if he was guiding and regulating the sudden influx of seawater, turning it into calm river water, and slowly flowing into his body.
"What's going on?!"
Fu Yushu frowned: "Why is the Yin energy so strong?!"
Su Wenji said nothing. One hand held the green bamboo staff for support, and the other hand quickly calculated. After a moment, he showed a worried look: "The meridian seal is broken."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot up into the sky from the Blood-Transforming Pool. After the light shot up into the sky, it fell towards the Jinguang Temple, Wangu Cliff, and Taiping Town.
The light traveled thousands of miles, illuminating the night sky as bright as day. Almost everyone in Yunze was awakened by this strange sight. The people rushed out of the door and looked up at this strange scene that seemed like a punishment from heaven.
The light fell on the meridian seal that Fu Changling had reinforced. The seal pattern that was originally used to strengthen the meridians suddenly began to rotate and change. Then, at the moment of reconnection, huge beams of light burst out from the three meridians one after another, rushing straight into Lingxiao.
People from all over Yunze looked up at the four pillars of light.
Sang Ganjun carried Yang Jun on his back and rushed towards Su Family Qiankun Mountain;
Fu Minglan was covered in blood and hiding in a tree in the forest, looking down at the demon cultivators searching for him;
Yueqin was carried by the puppet beast and ran wildly in the night;
Su Zhiyan stood on the top of Su's Qiankun Mountain, with Manjushage in full bloom at his feet, looking at the monks rushing towards him;
Shangguan Mingyan stood in the main hall of Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, and together with Yue Sinan who stumbled in, he looked up at Jiang Yebai who was sitting high up.
No matter where they were or what they were doing, these four beams of light that changed Yunze's fate completely illuminated the place where they were, and they all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the light.
Fu Changling, who was at the center of the formation, felt a strong wind rising from under his feet and the ground rumbling. Then, crazy laughter came from not far away, and then one figure after another appeared in the blood-transforming pool.
"what to do?"
Su Wenji turned his head to look at Fu Yushu, and before Fu Yushu could speak, the Tanxin Sword jumped out and directly protected Fu Changling.
"What are you asking?"
Fu Yushu held up a small gold-sprinkled fan in his hand and said, "Go!"
After saying that, the four cultivators guarding Fu Changling started fighting with the people from the prison. The four cultivators from the Su family who followed Su Wenji also jumped into the battlefield with swords in hand.
Fu Changling was surrounded by thunder, so logically no one would approach him. However, the Karma Hell Demon Cultivators who had just arrived in Yunze seemed to have received some order. As soon as they arrived in Yunze, they rushed towards Fu Changling without hesitation.
There were more and more Karma Hell monks in the Blood Transformation Pool, but all of them were only at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage, and not very significant. Until the body of a young monk in silver-blue clothes condensed in the Blood Transformation Pool, the spiritual energy pattern of the entire Blood Transformation Pool changed instantly.
As the young man's body solidified, a woman began to materialize behind him. Fu Yushu put away his fan, tapped his toes, and leaped toward Fu Changling. Su Wenji followed him, standing in front of and behind him outside the thunderbolt.
Then the two of them formed seals with their hands and quickly set up a barrier to block the young man.
When the young men in blue saw what the two men were doing, they just smiled.
"A trifle."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on the barrier. Then Fu Yushu clearly felt that the power of the barrier was being devoured by the young man. At that moment, the Tan Xin Sword rushed out and the young man was instantly forced back three feet.
Su Wenji sighed: "I understand."
After saying that, he drew out the sword from his green bamboo staff. Fu Yushu took a look and knew what Su Wenji meant.
Since these monks are good at devouring spiritual power, the only way to deal with them is to use methods that do not use spiritual power.
The two of them removed the barrier in an instant, and then protected Fu Changling with their swords.
Both of them were magic cultivators and were not good at close combat. Fortunately, these demon cultivators had just come from the prison and were still relatively weak. However, they all had to be ordered to kill Fu Changling at this moment, so they rushed forward one after another.
The two sides fought all the way. Fu Yushu and the young man were entangled in a fight, Tan Xinjian and the servants of the Fu and Su families were madly strangling them at the outermost edge, while Su Wenji was guarding the innermost edge, responsible for dealing with other fish that had escaped the net.
But as time dragged on, more and more people came to the Karma Prison, and they were obviously recovering their physical condition. Seeing that the thunder was coming to an end, the spiritual power of the young man who was fighting with Fu Yushu suddenly surged, and Fu Yushu was knocked away with a "bang". Then he raised his sword and rushed forward, ignoring the power of thunder, and stabbed directly at Fu Changling!
"Changling!"
Fu Yushu shouted loudly, and Tan Xinjian followed closely. Seeing that the tip of the young man's sword was about to reach Fu Changling, Fu Changling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then a golden light suddenly burst out from his body, and the majestic spiritual power rushed towards the surroundings, instantly knocking away the nearby cultivators of average cultivation.
The young man in front of him tried hard not to move, and just used all his strength to thrust the tip of his sword forward, but the strong wind seemed to be completely against the tip of the young man's sword, forcing the tip of the sword to not move forward another step.
"Ye...Lan..."
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I...will...send...you...on your...way...today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man seemed to have pushed his spiritual power to the extreme, and instantly broke through Fu Changling's obstruction. The tip of the sword finally pushed forward again and suddenly pierced through Fu Changling's chest!
At that moment, lightning struck directly along the tip of the young man's sword, violently shaking him away. Fu Changling slowly opened his eyes amidst the thunder. The young man outside supported himself with his sword and struggled to stand up. The woman next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said urgently, "Mingxiu, the thunder has passed, let's go."
"I'm going to kill him."
Ming Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand years..."
"The Demon Lord has given the order!"
The woman spoke anxiously, grabbing the young man and saying, "There are other tribesmen here, let's retreat."
Ming Xiu hesitated for a moment, and Fu Changling stared at them quietly in the thunder.
Ming Xiu and Fu Changling stared at each other across the thunder. After a long time, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and led his men to disappear from the spot in an instant.
"Head of the family."
The Fu family servant jumped back behind Fu Yushu and said anxiously, "They..."
"Let's go."
Fu Yushu stared at Fu Changling: "These are not the urgent matters."
The moment the sound fell, Fu Changling closed his eyes, and golden light shot up from under his feet into the sky, as if a pair of huge and powerful hands tore apart the thick clouds in the sky, revealing golden sunlight.
Along with the sunshine came pea-sized raindrops falling from the sky. Wherever the spiritual rain fell, green grass sprouts broke through the ground, which seemed to bring vitality.
The rain washed over Fu Changling's body. His figure grew slightly taller under the rain, and his face also changed slightly. Above his skin, a layer of lustrous light enveloped him, quickly repairing all his external scars.
After a while, Lingyu slowly disappeared, and his appearance was finally finalized. His new facial features washed away the childishness of his previous youth. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were as sharp as if drawn with a knife and a pen. He was thin and sharp, but his thick eyelashes and slightly upturned peach blossom eyes made him look a bit bold and handsome.
Fu Changling slowly opened his eyes and felt spiritual power flowing through his body. His body seemed to embrace the mountains, rivers and seas. The familiar spiritual power calmed his guilty conscience and he regained some of the composure and calmness of Master Huayang in his previous life.
After the spiritual rain completely stopped, golden light fell on Fu Changling. Fu Changling slowly stood up and raised his hand. His Taoist robe, which had long been tattered by thunder, instantly turned into a black robe with wide sleeves embroidered with gold thread and cloud patterns. His hair was half-tied up with a golden ribbon and draped behind him. The Qinggu fan swirled down from the sky and quietly landed in his raised hand.
The red tassels and black, gold-edged sleeves fluttered gently in the wind. Su Wenji stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Lord Dao."
Fu Changling raised his eyes to look at Su Wenji, his tone cold and steady: "Why are you here?"
"Jiang Yebai set an ambush at Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, slaughtered monk Yunze, and abducted A Yan." Su Wenji answered in a serious tone. "The Su family knew Yunze was in trouble long ago and built Qiankun City in advance for defense. Last night, sensing the impending heavenly tribulation, they did not attend the Immortal Alliance Ceremony. After the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace suffered, the Su family opened Qiankun City to receive the suffering monks from all over the world. They deduced the whereabouts of the Daojun and came here to welcome him. We ask that he rescue all the monks above the Spiritual Transformation Stage from all over the world and return to Qiankun City to set up a barrier to protect monk Yunze."
Fu Changling didn't say anything, he just looked at Su Wenji quietly.
Although the stage of tribulation and the stage of transformation into a spirit are just one realm, this great realm is the difference between seeing and not seeing the way of heaven.
If cultivators at the Spiritualization Stage were still "human," then cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Stage were on the threshold of becoming immortals. Entering the realm of immortals, not only could one see the cultivation of others, but more importantly, one could see the "Heavenly Qi" within a person.
The Su family is born with the ability to tell fortunes, and Su Wenji obtained a pair of eyes of destiny by chance, which allowed him to perceive the way of heaven close to the late stage of tribulation no matter how high his cultivation level was.
It can be said that he is the person closest to the way of heaven in Yunze and the one with the greatest possibility of ascending.
So in his previous life, after he entered the stage of tribulation, he saw the Heavenly Qi on people, and he found that the Heavenly Qi on Su Wenji was the strongest among all the people he had ever seen.
But in his previous life, he did not ascend.
And in this life...
Fu Changling looked at him, and he saw clearly that there was not a trace of the Heavenly Qi that should have surrounded Su Wenji's body.
Fu Changling looked at Su Wenji without saying anything. Su Wenji kept smiling and let Fu Changling look at him.
Fu Yushu put away the Tanxin Sword, walked over to Fu Changling, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, it looks pretty good."
"Fortunately, my father came quickly."
When Fu Changling heard Fu Yushu's words, he turned to look at Fu Yushu and the Tan Xin Sword in his arms: "Are you and mother okay?"
"Nothing."
Fu Yushu waved his hand and said, "Don't bother talking to us anymore. Go and save people."
Fu Changling nodded. He looked back at the Blood Transformation Pool and knew what had happened. He paused, closed his eyes, and began to quickly scan the entire Yunze with his spiritual sense.
Besides the areas where the barrier had been specially set, Fu Changling checked all the areas with unusual spiritual energy fluctuations one by one, and quickly confirmed the location of the Spiritualization Stage cultivator who was still being hunted. He opened his eyes again, raised his hand to draw a teleportation array, and said to Fu Yushu and Su Wenji, "You go to Qiankun City first. I'll come find you after I've taken care of things."
"What about you?"
Fu Yushu frowned, and Fu Changling said calmly, "Save him."
After he finished speaking, Fu Changling disappeared from the spot.
"Let's go."
Su Wenji brushed the dust off his clothes and led his men into the teleportation array.
Fu Yushu turned his head and took a look at the area that had already become ruins. He pondered for a moment, and finally led his men into the teleportation array.
After reaching the tribulation period, one can shrink the distance to an inch. Fu Changling used his spiritual sense to detect the location of Sang Ganjun and others, and rushed to them one by one according to the distance of their location. After sending them to Qiankun City one by one, he went straight to the gate of Qiankun City.
Qiankun City was built high in the mountains. It was obviously a military stronghold that had been prepared for many years. The city walls were covered with runes and various magical weapons.
Disciples from all the major sects ran in and out of the city, stationed on the city walls, and constantly picked up and dropped off monks who came to seek refuge.
Now that the four major energy channels have been opened, the Karma Prison cultivators came to Yunze, rested for a while, and then began to directly attack the major sects.
All the major sects were defeated in a hurry and, after receiving the order from the Su family, fled to Qiankun City.
All of this was something he had never experienced in his previous life. In his previous life, there was no interference from him, and everything developed step by step. There was no sudden opening of the Qi meridian seal, and there was no Qiankun City that had already been built.
Everything now seems like another world.
Fu Changling stood at the edge of the city wall, observing it for a moment. Then, he raised his hand, and a magic array pattern flew out from his palm, casting another layer of magic array specifically targeting the Karma Hell Demon Cultivators across the entire Qiankun City. Everyone stared at this magic array in amazement, but they seemed to have received some advance information and did not intervene.
Fu Changling set up the barrier and turned away. When he reappeared, it was almost dawn. He stopped in front of a cave and listened quietly to the cheerful chirping of birds in the early morning.
He stopped in front of the cave for a moment, stroking the Hongmeng Tiangong jade pendant in his hand and listening to the sounds coming from inside.
"Master, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Fu Changling, and all the fellow disciples, Yunyu is leaving first, don't worry!"
The boy's voice was unusually calm, lacking his usual lively tone, but gaining a touch of gentleness and steadiness.
In fact, the first place he used his spiritual sense to detect was Yun Yu and Xie Yuqing's location, but the last place he came to was also here.
He seemed to be a little scared, but after a long time, he still walked in.
The morning light followed his footsteps into the cave. Xie Yuqing heard Fu Changling's footsteps. She slowly opened her eyes and waited for Fu Changling to stop in front of her. She curled up in the quilt that Yunyu had covered her with.
She seemed to have woken up a long time ago, but also seemed not to have woken up. She just curled up there, as if she never wanted to wake up and never have to face it.
Fu Changling stood beside her for a moment, and finally said, "Senior Sister, it's time to go."
Xie Yuqing didn't move. She held her head in her hands and buried it in the blanket that Yunyu had laid out for her.
"I was very sleepy last night."
Xie Yuqing's voice was hoarse: "Actually, I wanted to ask him why Yun Yu didn't tell us even though he was an undercover agent. But I was too sleepy, so I didn't ask him."
"If I had asked him earlier," Xie Yuqing trembled slightly, "would I have discovered it sooner? He wouldn't...wouldn't be like this now?"
"The Fossil Curse is sworn by the laws of Heaven, and there is no way to break it."
Fu Changling answered calmly.
He was used to separations of life and death in his previous life.
He originally thought that these were far away from him, but now he realized that there was no difference.
He felt like he had returned to his previous life. He was the Huayang Zhenjun, admired by everyone. He carried Yunze on his shoulders. Everyone could cry bitterly, except him.
"Xie Yuqing," Fu Changling called her calmly, "Get up."
Xie Yuqing's body was shaking for a long time, and after a while, she seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer and suddenly burst into tears.
Fu Changling stood in place, quietly watching Xie Yuqing who suddenly collapsed. He turned his gaze to Yunyu who had turned into stone next to him. He looked at Yunyu quietly for a long time. He squatted down and took the ring jade pendant of Hongmeng Tiangong from Yunyu's hand.
Fu Changling held it in his hand, listened to Xie Yuqing's sobbing, slowly stood up, turned around and left.
He stood outside the cave. While he was standing there, there was never a moment when he wished Qin Yan was by his side.
In his previous life, he used his hatred for him to support himself through most of his life.
In this life, faced with death and separation, and the separation of teachers and friends, he can only hope that he can use the love for him to support himself and go through the second half of his life.
