"Chang Geng, what type of treasure do you want this time?" Elder Ge asked directly.
Qiu Changtian had already thought it through clearly, and replied:
"I need a defensive magic weapon, and a magic weapon that can attack a large area."
The reason is very simple. Now Qiu Changtian's true energy is abundant, and he has the Five Thunders Righteous Method and Tianyuan Yiqi Sword in his hands. His ability to attack single targets is almost maxed out.
But on the other hand, he is obviously lacking in defense, range attack and running - simply because he is so ridiculously strong that most enemies can't even fight back when they face him and are directly beaten to pieces by him, so these shortcomings are not reflected.
Since Qiu Changtian has to maintain his invincible character, it is impossible for him to run away. When the critical moment comes, he can only give up and rely on A Jing. Therefore, the current priority is to improve his ability to defend himself and area attacks.
Defensive magic weapons, such as the Yunlangshuang Ice Pot used to overcome the tribulation, are required to be able to withstand the enemy's large-scale Taoist attacks.
Magical weapons for range attacks, such as Xu Yinglian's Great Light Fire, require fast casting and a huge range, and preferably have some isolation effects on sound, light, breath and even spiritual consciousness.
As for the consumption of true energy, as long as the power is strong enough and used appropriately, it is not a problem.
"Hmm." Elder Ge pondered for a moment, then walked into the inner hall. After a moment, he brought back two magic weapons.
One is a cloud-like veil called "Taiqing Yuanqi Yanlan", which can weaken any attack that passes through it, including physical attacks such as flying swords, and Taoist magic such as the Great Light Fire.
It seems to be an enhanced and upgraded version of the Qingping Sword's "Biwu Yi Cangluan", but it cannot completely block physical attacks, it only slows them down.
The second is a green jade flute, called the "Pushing Tide and Horizontal Wave Flute". By injecting true energy into it and playing it, it can produce waves of sound, pushing all things around it outwards.
More importantly, the sound waves produced by this flute do not conform to the Five Elements, and therefore cannot be targeted or restrained by any means.
Qiu Changtian was very satisfied with these two magic weapons. He had already thought about it. From now on, when he was going to appear, he would be covered with Taiqing Yuanqi Yanlan, holding the Tuichao Hengbo flute, and appear gracefully with the clear and melodious flute sound.
The enemy shot at him with a flying sword, but it pierced into the Taiqing Yuanqi smoke and was slowed down, and then was isolated outside by the sound waves of the Tuichao Hengbo flute, and could not get close at all... To outsiders, it seemed that Qiu Changtian was just standing here, doing nothing and letting you hit him, and you couldn't even touch an inch of his clothes.
Good life! That's it!
After receiving the two magic weapons, Elder Ge hurriedly locked the Treasure-Fenling Rock and then rushed to the Yuxu Palace.
Qiu Changtian flew back to Jinling leisurely on his sword. He met Junior Sister Xu who had returned to the cave and asked about the situation at Master Suling's side.
"The elder Lingbao took over Junior Brother Qiu's mantle." Xu Yinglian sighed and said, "Alas, it is said that the elder originally had high hopes for Junior Brother Qiu, and planned to change him from a direct disciple to the successor of the Taoist lineage after he formed the elixir...but he didn't expect that he would die in the cave in the book."
“It is said that the cause of death of Kunlun’s foundation-building cultivators over the years is that five out of ten died from the pill-condensing tribulation, and four out of ten died from exploring secret realms.” Qiu Changtian also said with emotion, “The number of people who actually died from fighting with hostile cultivators is less than one in ten.”
"In the final analysis, it's because of a lack of self-knowledge." Xu Yinglian shook his head, "I'll go refine the medicinal power, and then prepare to start overcoming the tribulation."
"Brother...you will protect me, right?"
"Of course." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
A month later, Xu Yinglian transcended the tribulation as scheduled in the far west.
On the Kunlun side, not only were three elders dispatched (all of whom were skilled in on-the-spot Taoist methods of treatment), the head of Ziwei was present at the scene in person, and even Elder Shiding from Penglai was invited to come and set up the formation.
Qiu Changtian sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the calamity clouds pressing down in the distance, and couldn't help feeling a little bored.
If the first time I went through the tribulation myself, my feeling was “so exciting! So thrilling!”; the second time I watched the dragon and fox go through the tribulation, my feeling was “a little nervous, a little worried”…
So the third time I saw Junior Sister Xu transcending the tribulation, my thought was, “Junior Sister should be able to successfully block this kind of rubbish tribulation by using her head.”
Xu Yinglian formed a second-grade golden elixir, and the type of heavenly tribulation was a combination of the five elements tribulation plus the inner demon tribulation.
The Five Elements of Thunder are the most lethal of all the heavenly tribulations, probably because no matter your Taoism or magic weapons, as long as they do not involve the Five Elements, they will eventually be restrained by one of the Five Elements of Thunder.
To deal with the Five Elements Thunder, you must have at least three sufficiently powerful means of attack among the five elements... If it were an ordinary cultivator, where would he get so many Taoist spells, magic weapons or flying swords?
But for Xu Yinglian, a disciple taught directly by the headmaster, as long as their cultivation level is up to par, resources are not a problem at all.
Xu Yinglian first cast the Tai Shang Xuan Ji Talisman to stop the water thunder in the sky, and then destroyed them one by one with the Shao Fu Shang Yang sword energy.
Later, when facing the earth-type thunder, she took out the Thunder Hammer and Thunder Cone that Qiu Changtian lent her, and used a dragon composed of Taixiao Thunder to swallow up the thunder completely in the air.
The next wave was wood-type thunder. Xu Yinglian spit out great light fire all over the sky. Before those thunders could land, they were directly burned up by the great light fire.
Then, a large number of fire-type thunderbolts were spit out from the calamity cloud. They were actually the extremely lethal Thunderbolt C Fire Thunders that Qiu Changtian had dealt with last time.
This thunder not only has a huge explosion range, but the more troublesome thing is that the energy aftermath of each thunder explosion will be absorbed by other Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunders within the explosion range.
Therefore, in the end, the heavenly calamity will create a super huge thunder, which will blow you to pieces.
Faced with this thunderbolt, Xu Yinglian did not dare to be careless at all and quickly activated the formation he had arranged in advance.
A huge amount of spiritual power flowed into her body. Xu Yinglian flew into the air in white clothes. She pinched the Taoist formula in her hand and turned into a phoenix made of flames!
The phoenix soared into the sky, its cry resounding through the nine heavens. As it flew over the Thunderbolt B Fire Thunder, it directly ignited and detonated it.
Thunderbolt B fire thunders exploded one after another, not only the surrounding fire thunders became stronger, but the color of the Phoenix's own flames also became more vivid and eye-catching.
Qiu Changtian could see clearly that the Fire Phoenix formed by this junior sister was actually competing with the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunder for the fire spiritual energy spreading in the surrounding environment!
You can play like this!
In the end, there was only one giant Binghuo thunder left in the sky, with a radius of about 500 feet, but it was much smaller than the Binghuo thunder that Qiu Changtian had to deal with that day - nearly half of its energy had been plundered by Xu Yinglian in advance, so that this thunder seemed a little malnourished.
Qiu Changtian used the Five Elements Divine Light to destroy it at that time, but at this time Junior Sister Xu relied on her Phoenix Blood and decisively decided to fight the giant fire thunder head-on.
There was a loud bang that shocked the world, and the Fire Phoenix let out a wail before falling to the center of the formation, revealing Xu Yinglian's body covered with burns.
The power of this giant fire thunder was obviously beyond the range that Xu Yinglian could absorb, and the excess violent energy caused serious damage to her.
However, even though he was seriously injured due to his overconfidence, Xu Yinglian's fighting spirit remained high.
She silently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, her eyes fixed on the calamity clouds in the sky.
The calamity cloud sank to the air very close to the ground. Suddenly, a giant golden dragon broke through the cloud and rushed towards Xu Yinglian with its fangs and claws bared.
The last wave of the five elements of thunder was the rare black dragon true gold thunder. All the thunders gathered together to form the shape of a giant dragon.
A natural disaster of such an exaggerated scale is almost impossible to defend against or delay by any means.
The only way is to blow it up directly!
Xu Yinglian gritted his teeth and gathered the inner energy in his body, continuously compressing it in the meridians in his chest. Then he opened his eyes wide, slightly opened his silver teeth, and spit out an extremely thin line of fire into the air.
Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire!
Among the five elements, fire naturally restrains metal. Xu Yinglian is of the Phoenix bloodline. In order to deal with his senior brother's Five Thunders Method, he had already mastered the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire.
The fire line condensed but did not disperse, like a bright golden line, sweeping straight across the body of the golden dragon of thunder and lightning.
Xu Yinglian summoned up the remaining strength, and as she swung her head, the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire shuttled back and forth three or four times in an instant, cutting the golden dragon of thunder and lightning into several parts, and finally causing a huge explosion.
The calamity clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. Qiu Changtian, Sect Leader Ziwei, and the other three Kunlun elders immediately rushed to Xu Yinglian and asked about her condition.
"I have locked the inner demon in my sea of consciousness." Xu Yinglian didn't care about the burns on his body. He just calmly took the pill and then calmly sat in meditation. He said, "I want to get rid of the inner demon by myself. Master, please don't help me."
"Okay, okay." Master Ziwei said "Okay" twice, turned to look at the three elders, and said, "Thank you very much."
"We will definitely protect your disciple." The three Kunlun elders said hurriedly.
Xu Yinglian has already survived the heavenly tribulation and obtained the second-grade golden elixir. In addition, she has a seven-orifice exquisite heart, is born into the Tiannan Xu family, and is the Taoist partner of Taoist Master Chang Geng. Her future is destined to be bright.
It was just a matter of protecting the Dharma, so the three Kunlun elders were naturally happy to do this favor.
Qiu Changtian sat down next to Xu Yinglian, said nothing, and nodded to his master.
