Chapter 419 Who is going through the tribulation? Where are my magical powers?
The days passed one by one, and after half a month, Zheng Fa still hadn't recovered from his inner demons.
A group of people gathered outside Zhengxian Island, looking at Zheng Fa in the light curtain, all of them were confused.
"The Yin Fire Tribulation is so fast..." Blood River Patriarch frowned and said, "Why is this Heart Demon Tribulation so long?"
Senior Sister Zhang’s face also looked a little unhappy.
Other people's inner tribulation would only take three to five days at most, but Zheng Fa's time to overcome the tribulation was several times longer than that of others, which naturally made everyone in the Jiushan Sect worried.
Not only Senior Sister Zhang and the others, but also Zheng Fa's mother, sister, and Zhao Jingfan came - the inner demon calamity is an internal calamity and has nothing to do with others. Senior Sister Zhang was afraid that Zheng's mother and the others would worry, so she didn't stop them from coming.
Uncle Huang was also pacing back and forth, looking very annoyed.
"Zheng Fa has practiced for too short a time... His character is not strong enough to fight against his inner demons?"
Her guess made everyone around her look thoughtful.
Senior Sister Zhang believed in Zheng Fa at first, but now she seemed a little unsure. But after a while, she said affirmatively, "I know my junior brother's character, he won't be like this."
The Blood River Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa's face and agreed, "Looking at the Sect Leader's expression, it doesn't look like he's been possessed by a demon."
Everyone nodded.
This is also why they still have the leisure to discuss it.
Although Zheng Fa had been trapped in the inner demon calamity and had not come out, his aura and soul gave people the feeling of being exceptionally calm - they all believed him when he said he was sleeping.
When Uncle Huang saw that Senior Sister Zhang and Old Ancestor Xuehe both opposed his idea, he looked much more relieved: one of them knew Zheng Fa best, and the other knew souls best, and their judgments were always more accurate than his own.
But the next moment, she thought of another guess: "That is to say... although Zheng Fa's inner demon didn't gain the upper hand, he was extremely tenacious?"
"Where did he get such a powerful inner demon?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they felt that this explanation made sense.
The Blood River Patriarch also agreed:
"The inner demon is good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses, especially the past that monks cannot bear to look back on. Therefore, we, the monks of the Holy Church, are most afraid of the inner demon..."
"Master..." The Blood River Patriarch lowered his voice, "Have you ever suffered a great injustice before?"
When Senior Sister Zhang heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She turned her head and looked behind her, staring at Zhao Jingfan.
Zhao Jingfan slowly opened his mouth, and there were only four words in his mind - are you coming for me? Of course, he understood what Master Zhang meant. Zheng Fa's deeds in Jiushan Sect were simple to say. Although there were twists and turns, there were no major grievances...
But Master Zhang didn’t know what was happening in the Zhao family.
He knew that in Jiushan Sect, Zheng Fa had a relatively good temper, but Senior Sister Zhang's temper... well, only Zheng Fa could control it.
Zhao Jingfan racked his brains and began to recall: "Zheng Fa... um..."
"Wang Gui's family bullied him."
When Zheng Fa's sister Zheng Shan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have forgotten the name that she had gritted her teeth when it was mentioned a few years ago.
"Wang Gui? Where is he?"
Senior Sister Zhang was already irritable, so her voice naturally sounded even colder, and her aura made Zhao Jingfan, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, tremble with fear.
“Wang Gui…” Zhao Jingfan seemed to be thinking too, and patted his forehead after a long while, “He seemed to have died during the Great Freedom Demon Tribulation!”
He muttered again: "Actually, I don't think Zheng Fa cares too much about their family."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, turned to look at Zheng Fa who still had his eyes closed, and said coldly to Zhao Jingfan: "Anything else?"
"And... and..."
Zhao Jingfan seemed to remember something and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang just looked at him. Zhao Jingfan swallowed his saliva and said dryly:
"……I."
Didn't he bully Zheng Fa back then?
"And my mother..."
It seems like his mother is even more cruel...
Senior Sister Zhang frowned and looked him up and down.
Master Huang of Jiushan Sect and Patriarch Xuehe were also looking at Zhao Jingfan, seemingly thinking about something.
It was Zheng Shan who spoke again:
"My brother didn't take it seriously... He used to communicate with Madam Zhao frequently. The Seventh Young Master and my brother also have a good relationship. He always brings me elixirs every time he comes!"
Of course, Senior Sister Zhang also knew that Zheng Fa had a very good relationship with Zhao Jingfan in front of her. After hearing what Zheng Shan said, she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Zheng Fa.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Jingfan couldn't help but turn around and look at Zheng Shan with gratitude. He felt that the elixirs he had obtained through hard work had finally made a contribution to the sect today.
From the looks in Senior Sister Zhang and the others' eyes, he had no doubt that Senior Sister Zhang and the others had the intention of killing the Zhao family and even destroying the Qingmu Sect.
He only knew that Zheng Fa was doing well in Jiushan Sect.
Now I understand it clearly. Looking at the state of the Jiushan Sect, if Zheng Fa fails to survive the tribulation, the Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Sect will probably go crazy...
No, those Jindan disciples seemed to have some murderous intent just now...
He looked at Zheng Fa, who had his eyes closed and a calm expression, and thought to himself that this was outrageous:
He felt that if anything happened to Zheng Fa, there would definitely be a bloody storm in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
Was it Zheng Fa who was overcoming the tribulation, or was it him who was overcoming the tribulation? ...
The inner demon Zheng Fa thought so too.
He looked at Zheng Fa with a devastated expression.
"So... you are really countless versions of me?"
Zheng Fa's eyes lit up, and he was obviously thinking of many things.
He really wanted to explore the inner demon. In addition to wanting to test the strength of the inner demon's oath itself, he also had two more important considerations:
One is how the disciples of Jiushan overcome their inner demon tribulations.
To be fair, the reason why the inner demon Zheng Fa in front of him was so harmless was mainly because of the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant of Tianhe Zun.
But the disciples of Jiushan Sect do not have this treasure.
Studying more about inner demons will be of great benefit to the disciples of Jiushan Sect and the "First Fifty Year Plan".
On the other hand, it is actually more important——
Who is he? Traveling to the modern era is naturally a benefit, but with Zheng Fa's personality, there is always a knot in his heart.
What is the relationship between Zheng Fa in this world and Zheng Fa in modern times? He saw a hint of the answer to the question from his inner demon.
"So, rather than being an inner demon, you are actually...another possible me?"
The inner demon Zheng Fa had a confused look on his face, and obviously had no idea what Zheng Fa was talking about.
Zheng Fa's thoughts were far away.
At that time, Tang Mudao talked about his views on the nature of aura, one of which was an explanation - a parallel world.
Now, this inner demon is probably a collection of my parallel world selves? Parallel world...
"So, what do you remember? Secret methods of cultivation? Ancient secrets?"
Zheng Fa asked again.
"I don't remember." The inner demon Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "I know, in fact, only those skills and magical powers that you know."
“…”
Understood.
It’s not that the self in the parallel world is stupid.
I am stupid.
It seems that I was not comforted at all...
Zheng Fa's face became gloomy.
Although this inner demon was somewhat useless, it gave him many other guesses.
He could clearly see at that time that the souls coming from those stars were old and young, male and female.
But now this inner demon is exactly the same as myself.
If this inner demon had not deceived me before.
In this process, it can be said that... Zheng Fa's other possibilities disappeared? Or, some of Zheng Fa's "destiny" disappeared? After practicing for so long, the biggest question for Zheng Fa at the beginning was why his spiritual energy declined?
This question has now turned into another more in-depth question:
What is the essence of spiritual energy? Now, Zheng Fa has his own most superficial answer to this question: the rules of physics.
For example, Tao Fruit is actually a combination of a set of physical rules.
When a monk practices a set of Dao Fruit techniques, he is actually reorganizing his life form according to this rule.
The exact method of Tai Shang Dao's practice cannot be determined.
However, Zheng Fa was relatively familiar with the skills of Tianhe Sect, Tianzun and Da Zizai Demon Ancestor.
In essence, this is a purposeful evolution of life, and the end of the evolution is the fruit of the Tao.
The problem is, on the contrary, the Daoguo monks stand at the end of this road, using all living beings as nourishment and evolving themselves.
To put it in an analogy, a Dao Fruit monk is equivalent to the ancestor of a gene, and his descendants inherit some of his genes and produce some new traits by recombination of these genes.
This beneficial trait or ability was absorbed by the ancestor and improved his own genome.
According to Zheng Fa, the magic techniques of the demon sect are the closest to this essence.
But Shinto and Xiandao also vaguely point to this point.
If combined with his own observation, this inner demon came from the stars, or in other words, if it came from a parallel world as he guessed.
A thought popped into his mind: Are those parallel worlds, just like the Nine Mountains Realm, actually the dojo of some Dao Fruit cultivator?
However, the physical rules in the Taoist temple are special, just like those in the Nine Mountains Realm before - they are determined by the Taoist fruit of that cultivator.
Even these stars are more special than the Nine Mountains: There is no other self in the Nine Mountains...
And among these stars there will be.
Even in modern times.
If the modern world can be regarded as the dojo of Tianhe Zun, then does this difference mean:
Tianzun is weaker than the masters of these stars and also weaker than Tianhe Zun.
As for who is weaker between the master of these stars and Venerable Tianhe.
Naturally, he had no way of judging.
Even when Venerable Tianhe raised his sword to the sky, his target was probably the stars in the sky.
If Dao Fruit cultivators were divided into strong and weak, then the Ancient Immortals... might be stronger than I imagined? ...
All these speculations made Zheng Fa's mind more confused.
Now he could only be sure of two things:
First: Although I don’t know what the ancient immortals mentioned by the five sects are, the stars in the sky are more powerful than ordinary Dao fruits. They are obviously characters of another level and should not be taken lightly, but they are far away from Zheng Fa.
Second: There are countless selves in the stars, which makes Zheng Fa more concerned.
The inner demon Zheng Fa looked at him, not quite understanding what he was thinking.
"How about you divide some of your spiritual power and let me study it?"
Zheng Fa suddenly asked.
The inner demon Zheng Fa looked at Zheng Fa blankly, with an indignant look on his face that said "you are not a human being".
Zheng Fa just smiled.
“No!”
“…”
Soon, the inner demon Zheng Fa understood that the sentence just now was not a question!
“It’s exactly the same…”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Holding the soul that was torn apart by the inner demon Zheng Fa, Zheng Fa murmured.
Although his research on the soul is not as deep as that of the Blood River Ancestor, he still understands his own soul.
The spiritual fluctuations of this inner demon are exactly the same as his own.
“…This is so weird.”
"What's the weird thing?"
The inner demon Zheng Fa had obviously already laid down and admitted defeat, yet he actually asked.
I can't win by fighting, and I can't leave by running away. What's more, I'm already here...
"Have you...heard of wave function collapse?"
"?"
He asked in vain! But he had Zheng Fa's memory after all, so he understood immediately after hearing what he said: "You mean, I... um, collapsed?"
"When you first came, you actually had countless kinds of spirits, but after you got close to my Nascent Soul, you became exactly the same as me."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
The inner demon Zheng Fa is obviously not stupid:
"Yuan Ying has... observer effect?"
He looked annoyed, and obviously felt that this theory was too complicated. He said, "How about you think about it yourself?"
“…”
"I'm stupid! I don't understand this stuff."
"...I won't allow you to call yourself stupid."
“…I really don’t know how to do it, and there is too little information.”
Indeed, this theory does contain too much conjecture - mainly because his strength is too far behind, and he is completely confused about this thing.
On the other hand, this inner demon is indeed a bit incompetent.
It's simply not beyond my own knowledge and ideas.
Also like to cry.
Zheng Fa looked down on him.
"...Or should I leave?"
Facing Zheng Fa's disdainful look, the inner demon spoke cautiously again.
"Wait a minute!"
“…”
"You know all my skills and all my memories?"
"Um……"
"Then help me perfect this "Transformation of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demons"."
The inner demon Zheng Fa suddenly looked up and looked at Zheng Fa, his lips trembling.
I am a demon in my heart, and you want me to work? In the desperate eyes of the demon in my heart, Zheng Fa nodded slowly:
“I think you can do this.”
Although the inner demon has nothing new, its head is filled with all its own knowledge - isn't that a good artificial intelligence? Zheng Fa wants to create a fundamental method from "Talisman Foundation Building Method" to "Heaven Gang Di Sha Transformation".
In fact, there are still many details that have not been perfected, especially the "Changes of Tiangang and Disha", which are extremely complicated.
Even Senior Sister Zhang had a headache.
The inner demon is very suitable for this job.
Just looking at the expression of the inner demon Zheng Fa...it is obvious that he no longer wants to live.
…
"woke up!"
Another half a month passed before everyone saw Zheng Fa slowly opening his eyes.
I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Zhao Jingfan was the happiest.
During the past half month, Zheng Fa had been unconscious, and Master Zhang kept glancing at him.
He was simply sitting on pins and needles! Now that he saw Zheng Fa wake up, Zhao Jingfan had tears in his eyes...
But why did Zheng Fa look a little regretful? Zheng Fa was indeed regretful.
One month is not Zheng Fa's limit, but it is the limit of his inner demon...
He opened his eyes.
The soul flew from the Niwan Palace into the newborn Nascent Soul, and the two quickly merged into one. The Nascent Soul, which had originally closed its eyes, also opened its eyes!
"It's done!"
Uncle Huang, who was usually indifferent, shouted excitedly at this moment.
It was obvious that Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul tribulation had exhausted her.
It's done.
As Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul opened its eyes, the entire Nine Mountains Realm underwent tremendous changes:
The spiritual energy outside the realm surged and poured into the Nine Mountains Realm, causing the earth, fire, water and wind to shake endlessly.
The Sun and Moon Bells hung in the air, suppressing the turbulent spiritual energy.
Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul was originally larger than that of others. At this moment, he opened his mouth and swallowed the surrounding spiritual energy and light. His body became more solid, and his aura made Uncle Huang and others look horrified.
"Is this the early stage of Nascent Soul?"
Uncle Huang and Sister Zhang looked at each other in surprise. They felt that although Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul was just beginning to form, his spiritual power had surpassed both of them, at least ten times that of the average Nascent Soul early stage cultivator.
Senior Sister Zhang's expression was also somewhat complicated, and she spoke again:
“In fact, it is not unusual for Junior Brother Zheng to have a deep golden core and a powerful Nascent Soul…”
Uncle Huang grinned.
In the past, Zheng Faqiang still relied on Fusang wood.
Now, judging from the cultivation level alone, Zheng Fa is also the one with the most profound Nascent Soul in the Nine Mountains Realm.
According to her estimation, in terms of spiritual power alone, perhaps only Senior Brother Yuan could surpass Zheng Fa.
But you must know that Senior Brother Yuan is already in seclusion to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
Zheng Fa has just reached the Nascent Soul stage!
How can we compare?
Not seeing the Blood River Patriarch and Jiao Wuji, both of them were filled with surprise and suspicion at this moment - even the look of respect on their faces was a little more respectful than usual.
Zheng Fa was unaware of the group's surprise.
The feeling of Nascent Soul is completely different from that of Golden Core——
His soul was like a wanderer returning home, blending seamlessly with his Nascent Soul and quickly becoming one.
As his Nascent Soul gradually solidified, Zheng Fa also felt that the range of his soul was gradually expanding.
Just as he realized it, an inexplicable attraction came from above his head.
Here we come!
Zheng Fa had long expected that when he established his foundation and his golden elixir, he would have innate supernatural powers.
Then Yuanying should also have talent!
Like before, his soul slowly rose along with this attraction, but the difference from before was that Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul also flew towards the outside of the Nine Mountains Realm.
Watching the clouds dragging Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul out of the Nine Mountains Realm.
Uncle Huang's eyes widened even wider.
"Li...Lift the clouds to ascend to heaven? Is what's in the story true?"
Senior Sister Zhang didn’t know either, but when she looked at the Paradise Island, she saw many ordinary people worshipping devoutly towards the departing Zheng Fa’s Nascent Soul, and they were obviously shocked by this legendary scene.
Don't talk about the mundane.
Even Elder Xiong and Sect Leader Song from the Qingmu Sect, as well as some sect leaders who had come to attend the preparatory meeting, all opened their mouths and looked up to see Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul figure disappear into the distance, with a look of doubt on their faces - they obviously felt that Zheng Fa's style of cultivation was somewhat different from theirs.
…
Zheng Fa's face was also full of doubt.
He followed this attraction to the separation of the Xuanwei Realm. At first, he was looking at the stars in deep thought.
After all, if those stars are parallel worlds, or even represent individual Dao Fruit cultivators...
That would be a huge problem.
Who knows how many powerful monks there are out there?
This made him care.
But after watching for a while, he felt something was wrong...
He was here to settle the reward, so why was the progress now...stuck? He could feel that his Nascent Soul seemed to be resonating with some existence outside the universe.
But the innate magical powers have not yet been sent down from the sky.
Finally, there was even a feeling that the sensation was slowly fading away.
No...where are my magical powers?
Suddenly, the sky suddenly became bright. Zheng Fa looked up and saw a light like a meteor coming from the depths of the starry sky.
That light covered the brilliance of all the stars.
