Chapter 241: The Way of Unity
Currently, Su Qingwu's spiritual plants come from two main sources.
A small portion was obtained from the initial trade with the demon clan, and the vast majority of the rest came from the four mustard seed spaces and were the spoils of killing the powerful people of the Dangqi Sect.
As for the spiritual plants that Gu Wan had given her in the past, they had all been harvested before.
From returning to emptiness to merging with the Tao, the accumulation required is not just a little bit.
In the seventh year, after the Qiankun Vase was completely refined, Su Qingwu temporarily handed it over to Hongyin.
Whenever the spiritual water is accumulated to its full potential, Hong Yin will be responsible for watering the spiritual plants.
And she herself began to practice diligently.
Three years passed like this, and she had a premonition that the time had come, so she stopped her cultivation and began to harvest the spiritual plants that had been watered.
The practice of repaying one's kindness continues.
It took nine days to harvest all the spiritual plants.
Within Dantian, spiritual energy is completely accumulated and perfect.
In order to deal with the calamity of Hedao, Su Qingwu, with the help of Hongyin, used the spoils obtained from the enemy to set up a seven-level defense formation.
After the formation was formed, Hongyin took Su Wen and Kong Jiu away.
This action is to avoid being affected by the thunder disaster.
This is also the request put forward by Su Qingwu.
Although she was very confident that she could survive the tribulation, she asked them to stay away from the cave for the time being in case of any emergency.
After making all preparations, cast a spell to break through immediately.
His aura of pressure surged, and with him as the center, a huge vortex of spiritual energy formed in an instant.
At the same time, winds and clouds rose all around, and a large cloud of disaster gathered here.
The calamity of Hedao consists of eight or nine calamities.
A total of seventy-two strikes. In principle, the power doubles with every nine strikes.
However, this was not the case with Su Qingwu.
Similar to the calamity of returning to the void, every nine strikes go from strong to weak, and when you restart, the power of the first strike will be stronger, and then it will go from strong to weak again.
The natural illusion array was completely split apart by the thunder catastrophe and no longer existed.
The calamity cloud covered a very wide area, and the pressure was very heavy. This time, even if the cultivators noticed what was happening here, no one dared to watch the calamity from afar.
To Su Qingwu, the power of the thunder may not be that great.
But for the vast majority of monks in this world, it is extremely terrifying.
The seven-tiered defensive formation surrounding the cave held out until the 70th lightning bolt struck. Eventually, due to severe damage to the materials used to build the formation, it could not be replenished and the formation shattered with a loud bang.
Facing the last two thunders, Su Qingwu waved his sleeves and took out nine Cangyun swords.
Under the control of his mind, nine sword beams instantly shot up into the sky.
At the same time, a pitch-black thunderbolt struck down fiercely.
The murderous sword intent that penetrated the sky suddenly broke out and chopped towards the thunder in an instant.
The latter disappeared instantly, leaving no trace.
The sword's killing intent is unabated, and it cuts through the calamity clouds.
The next moment, the extremely dense black color suddenly receded, and the power of the last thunderbolt, before it even struck, had been greatly weakened.
After a moment, a familiar clicking sound was heard.
This time, Su Qingwu chose to let the thunder temper the sword.
A crackling sound could be heard from time to time, lasting for about a hundred breaths, and then gradually stopped.
The nine Cangyun swords were all promoted to Taoist weapons!
The thunder tribulation was successfully passed, and the inner demon tribulation began.
Unlike before, when Su Qingwu fell into an illusion this time, his original memories were not blurred.
Under this influence, the traps painstakingly created by the inner demons naturally had no effect on her.
The outcome was set, and the inner demon stopped doing useless things. Before its power dissipated, it transformed into a human form and appeared in front of Su Qingwu.
"Congratulations! Once the illusion is broken, you will have successfully reached the state of unity with the Dao, and I will have disappeared from heaven and earth."
"According to what you said before, the Heart Demon Clan was ordered to prevent all living things from attaining enlightenment."
"Yes, I told you at the beginning that I would tell you the answer when you reach the highest level and achieve the state of harmony. Now is the time to reveal this secret.
The beings who gave us this mission are the immortals in the fairy world. Believe it or not, I did not lie to you about this matter. As for the reason, you will understand it if you can become an immortal in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, the illusion shattered with a loud bang.
Su Qingwu overcame the inner demon calamity easily and successfully reached the level of Hedao.
At this moment, a faint bell sound rang simultaneously on the five continents of the Yuanji World.
The resonance of heaven and earth is the most notable phenomenon of advancing to the next stage and achieving harmony with the Tao.
The first and second rank forces in each of the five continents sent people to gather information about the powerful people who had advanced to the next level and achieved the Dao.
The catastrophe of Hedao is so great that it cannot be concealed.
Even though it was in a place where few people go, the cultivators soon found out the situation and used divination to deduce, and finally confirmed the identity of the person who was undergoing the tribulation.
.......
One day later, Xuantian Continent, Tianxuan Sect.
When the several Jindan who were sent to Yuehua Realm learned that the person who had advanced to the Dao was Su Qingwu, their first reaction was disbelief.
After all, there are many people in the world with the same name and surname.
However, more news came, and finally they had to believe it.
The five people were in a state of shock for a long time, their minds were wandering and their fellow disciples soon noticed something was wrong.
In addition, when he was asked about the reason, he gave a vague answer, which led to his more suspicious fellow disciples reporting him to the Law Enforcement Hall.
The Tianxuan Sect's Execution Hall has always been known for its brutality.
The five people were brought into the palace. They dared not hide anything and told the whole story in detail.
That night, the main hall on the main peak was brightly lit.
A group of high-ranking people gathered here to discuss the new Jin Hedao.
Sect Master Lin Mu said in a deep voice:
"Due to the secrecy of several disciples, our sect has not known that a talented and outstanding young person emerged from our affiliated sect several decades ago. Now that she has achieved enlightenment, do you think it is possible to invite her to join the sect and stay there permanently?"
After saying this, the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke bluntly:
"I think the probability is extremely low. This woman ascended from the Moonlight Realm and must have known that the Qianzhi Sect was affiliated with the Tianxuan Sect. However, she has not come to our sect in recent years, and her attitude is very obvious."
Hearing this, Lin Mu looked at a woman in the hall who was wearing a light grey Taoist robe and had a cold look, and said in a gentle voice:
"What do you think, Master Liu?"
In terms of cultivation, the woman was only at the Perfect Transformation of the Spirit realm. According to the sect’s previous conventions of meeting, she should not have been here.
The reason why this is the case now is because she is the one with the highest cultivation level in the Yuehua faction within the sect.
The monks of this faction all ascended from the Yuehua Realm.
If Su Qingwu had come to the Tianxuan Sect when he ascended to heaven, he would automatically belong to this sect.
Facing the sect leader's question, Liu Yao first bowed, then responded respectfully:
"My nephew believes that everything should be left to nature and should not be forced."
After he finished speaking, another elder in the Hedao realm said in a deep voice:
"When the bloodthirsty devil vine appeared in the Yuehua Realm, our sect sent six golden elixirs to the lower world with the sealing technique. During the mission, an accident occurred and one person died, but the other five returned safely. Do you think that when the six people were carrying out the mission, did they have a conflict with Su Qingwu? Was it because of them that this person was unwilling to come to our sect?"
The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall shook his head slowly.
"The five of them have told us everything about what happened back then, from beginning to end. There is no contradiction between the two parties. When I interrogated them, I used my own wisdom. They could not have lied."
Hearing this, Lin Mu raised his hand to stop the other monks from speaking, and decided:
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. I'll leave this to Junior Brother Liu. If we can invite that person to join the sect, that would be the best. If not, we should try our best to make friends with him."
