Chapter 233 Lingyuan Continent
The moment Su Qingwu stepped into the teleportation array, he was automatically blocked from external influences by the array.
Therefore, she had no idea what happened in Wanxuan City.
The transmission lasted for a whole cup of tea.
During this period, her feet were suspended in the air, as if she was in the starry sky. The surroundings were pitch black, with only a few flashes of light in the distance, which were out of reach.
At the end, the slight dizziness that lingered in my mind completely disappeared.
The scene that came into view changed suddenly.
Magnificent buildings appeared one by one in the sight, and bursts of Buddhist chants reached the ears.
At this moment, Su Qingwu has arrived at Lingyuan Continent.
The place we are currently in is the largest city on this continent, Vana City.
Unlike Xuantian Continent, there are many Buddhists in Lingyuan Continent. Most of the buildings are golden in color, and the tile roofs sparkle in the sunlight, dazzling the eyes.
The Sanskrit sound that reached my ears was the chanting of the Buddhist monks in this city, which occurred morning and evening.
In the city there is a pagoda nearly a hundred feet high, built by the Nanwu Sect, one of the most powerful sects on the continent.
Many Buddhist scriptures are stored in the tower, and each floor of the tower is carved with a Buddha wearing a cassock and a fleshy bun on his head.
Golden bells are hung on the corners of the tower's eaves. When the wind blows, the bells ring, mixing with the Buddhist chants. The melodious sound conveys a peaceful atmosphere to all living things.
If you stay here for a long time, your mind will gradually calm down, you will forget about the killing and yearn for peace.
It would be nice to live in a harmonious and friendly world.
However, in the world of immortal cultivation, this kind of influence is negative.
Staying in such a place for a long time, unless you stay there, will lead to your own death if you are indecisive when you encounter an enemy in a normal place.
Back then in the illusion, Su Qingwu stayed in Lingyuan Continent for almost ninety years.
I also have some understanding of the concepts of Buddhist practice.
"Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly" is a phrase they often say.
In fact, she doesn't really agree with this idea in her heart.
Those extremely evil and cruel people who slaughtered innocent people can be forgiven for their past crimes as long as they repent. How unfair it is to the innocent souls who died at their hands!
In addition, after five hundred years of experience in the illusion, Su Qingwu also summed up a very ridiculous but very realistic truth.
If a good person does something wrong, no matter how insignificant it is, once it gets out, he will be immediately criticized by everyone.
As for a bad person, no matter how vicious his actions are, as long as he does one good thing, he is very likely to be praised by everyone, who will say that he has reformed and will never do evil again.
It seems that good people are born not allowed to make mistakes.
Once they are given such a title, the world will hold them to the most stringent standards.
How ridiculous!
Su Qingwu recalled these things and found the Buddhist chanting annoying, so she simply cast a spell to block her hearing.
Flying is not allowed in the city of Vana, and one can only leave the city on foot or in a special carriage.
She chose the first way and walked towards the city gate.
Buddhist practitioners can be seen everywhere in the city, but there are also many Taoist practitioners like her.
Everyone does his own thing and does not interfere with each other.
After a whole day, we finally reached the city gate.
After leaving Fan'a City, Su Qingwu suddenly flew into the air.
Unlike the magnificent buildings everywhere in the city, the scene outside the city is completely different.
The mountains are crisscrossed, the forests are dense, and the ancient trees are towering.
Flying to the plains, at a glance, you can see the vast territory, lush vegetation, and flowing rivers and lakes.
Occasionally, you can see some villages and towns, with wisps of smoke rising from cooking fires.
Su Qingwu rushed northward, found a deserted place, and opened a cave.
There are still powerful enemies eyeing Xuantian Continent, so she plans to advance to the next level and return to the void, then look for the Yuyi tribe and solve the mystery of the jade flute.
This place is sparsely populated, so even if a thunderstorm strikes, it will not affect others.
In the past, she harvested a 70,000-year-old high-quality Ice Jade Cold Soul Flower, which gave her a lot of cultivation in return, allowing her to advance to the perfect stage of Spirit Transformation and increase her current realm of cultivation to 80%.
Another 20% and we will be able to break through.
Now, the spiritual water in the Qiankun bottle has not accumulated enough, and it is impossible to improve the cultivation level by harvesting spiritual plants in a short period of time.
Su Qingwu took another approach.
Back then in the Crystal Palace, Senior Jixuan had given her a crescent-shaped jade pendant that was entirely aqua blue.
The jade pendant contains water spiritual energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years. As long as it is used properly, it will not be difficult to break through the current realm.
Su Qingwu has the spiritual roots of water, wood and earth. For her, to refine and absorb the spiritual energy contained in the jade pendant, she needs to achieve a balance among the three spiritual powers.
When water spiritual power accumulates to 100%, the remaining spiritual power must be transformed into earth and wood spiritual power through secret methods.
This process takes quite a long time.
Before going into seclusion to refine the jade pendant, she used the treasures from the Lingji Sect's treasury and set up an array within an array with the cave as the core.
It combines the illusion array, defense array, trap array, and killing array into one, all of which are level six.
The outermost layer is an illusion array, used to confuse the enemy.
If this layer of formation is broken, it will directly trigger a trapping formation. Within a radius of twenty miles outside the formation, any living creature that attacks the formation, whether it is a cultivator or a monster, will be trapped.
If this layer of formation is still broken, the defensive formation will be triggered.
If this formation is also broken, then a killing formation will be triggered.
At that time, all living things within a five-mile radius will be attacked indiscriminately.
After breaking through three layers of formations, anyone still staying nearby could only be an enemy, not a monk who happened to pass by.
After arranging the array within the array, Su Qingwu placed several restrictions around the cave, then took out the crescent-shaped jade pendant and began to cast a spell to refine it, absorbing the water spirit contained in it...
......
Outside, the mornings rise and the evenings fall, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a large mass of dark clouds suddenly gathered over the cave where Su Qingwu was in seclusion.
Soon, rumbling thunder was heard.
Far away, some monks were attracted by the movement and flew over to watch from afar.
As time went on, more and more people came to watch from afar, and all kinds of discussions arose.
"Is this the impending thunder tribulation?"
"At present, the calamity cloud has not yet completely condensed into shape. Do you know which level of thunder calamity this is?"
"Amitabha, I have had the honor of seeing predecessors of various levels transcending tribulations in the past. Judging from the current situation, they must be ascending to the next level and returning to the void."
"I don't know whether it is Taoism or Buddhism."
"Most of them are Taoists or Buddhist masters. Those who have reached this level are known to everyone. I haven't heard of anyone who is about to reach the next level recently."
"Look, there is an inconspicuous cave under the calamity cloud."
"Although the cave is inconspicuous, the formations around it are very cleverly arranged. The four formations are connected, one after another, and it can be called a perfect six-level formation."
"Could it be some formation master?"
"It's impossible to be sure. If the lightning can split the cave open later, I'm sure we can see the true appearance of the person who is undergoing the tribulation and determine his identity."
......
Inside the cave, Su Qingwu's body was surrounded by spiritual light that was constantly flowing.
She naturally had some sense of the situation outside. When the calamity clouds gathered, she put away the crescent-shaped jade pendant and placed it in her storage ring.
The rumbling sound of thunder continued to reach my ears.
The formations set up around the cave have not been activated because no one has attacked it in half a year. Now they are just the right amount to resist the thunder disaster.
Not long after, a loud cracking sound was heard from the calamity cloud.
The first thunderbolt locked onto Su Qingwu and struck down fiercely...
