Chapter 219 Opportunity
In the dark training room, a withered old man in a black Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a cushion.
The surrounding green walls were covered with colorful patterns. These patterns looked like living things, and when the firelight shone on them, they produced some water-like fluctuations.
On the wooden table, the oil lamp was swaying.
The flickering firelight illuminated the old man's appearance. His aged face was full of wrinkles, and his dry skin was like tree bark, covered with age spots. His eyes were deeply sunken, staring at the oil lamp in front of him with lifeless eyes, and the firelight was reflected in his pupils.
"It's good to die. I have severed all worldly ties and I no longer have any demons in my heart."
The old man said in a hoarse voice, and a strange power spread out from him. This person was Elder Rong Ling! One of the three great foundation-building masters in Black Stone City. This elder, who was supposed to monitor the completion of the tasks of the elders in Black Stone City, was sitting alone on the training stone at the top of Black Stone City. He looked like a dead tree, and his spiritual power had completely reached its peak at this moment. A mysterious aura surrounded him.
"Old Master Black Stone is not here, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity"
Elder Rong Ling stretched out his hand and pressed on the candle flame. The dry old skin made bursts of "sizzling" sounds under the burning flame, but he himself seemed to be unaware of it. He slowly pinched and extinguished the flame.
The light in the training room dimmed and it was completely plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, a ray of blue light appeared in Elder Rong Ling's eyes, and a wave similar to the Heart Demon Sutra emanated from his body. A layer of light blue ripples appeared on the surface of his body. As time passed, the wave became stronger and stronger, and the old skin on his body faded away, and a new layer of human skin slowly grew.
His condition also changed from a dying, haggard old man to a middle-aged man with a stern face.
When the flow of power reached a critical point, Elder Rong Ling walked out from the dead skin, reached into his arms and took out a small black wooden box.
The box opened, emitting a faint red light, and the elixir inside was spinning.
Rich spiritual energy filled the entire room.
Elder Rong Ling opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.
The aura on his body was no longer restrained, but released unscrupulously. The blue light slowly turned into grayish-white energy as he released it. This energy circled around the training room and then suddenly retracted, turning into a rotating black hole, madly swallowing up the surrounding spiritual energy. At this moment, all the blessings brought by the third-level spiritual veins were absorbed into the body.
The pure external spiritual energy and the pill he swallowed before merged into one, constantly twisting and changing. The one hundred spiritual dragons in his body spun faster and faster, surrounding his fake pill seed, and merged together to form a light blue water ball.
This is the virtual pill that is formed after the spiritual power of the dragon is compressed to the limit. It is also a necessary step for the cultivators who want to form the golden core.
The rotating spiritual power spread from the body to the outside, forming an eye of the wind.
Buzz!!
Invisible ripples spread out, and the formation in the training room could no longer be hidden. The aura spread to the entire Black Stone City in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, all the immortal cultivators felt a trembling breath, and when they looked up, they saw that the sky above them had darkened at some point, and a black cloud appeared in the sky. Thunder surged in the black cloud, and a low roar continued to be heard.
Is it dark?
Some are confused, some are puzzled.
Some ordinary people living in Black Rock City thought it was going to rain, and they quickly ran outside to pick up the things that were hanging out to dry, still complaining about the impact of the weather change.
Compared to ordinary people and cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the perception of the Foundation Establishment cultivators was much clearer. Everyone felt the danger. The black clouds in the sky were not formed naturally, but were pulled over by some force.
Someone needs to survive a catastrophe!
Life and death competition.
Chen Luo stood on the high platform and watched the duel below expressionlessly. Those who could enter the life and death arena were all independent cultivators in the early to middle stages of Qi Refining. These people were basically desperate criminals who were targeted by powerful forces and had nowhere else to go. The life and death arena was their last hope and also a way for powerful forces to make money.
These immortal cultivators who fight to the death are nothing but "tools" for those big powers to make money. Many of them are not real immortal cultivators, but tools cultivated by the big powers at a forced pace. The skills they practice are all defective products that are sold everywhere.
"Um?"
Chen Luo, who was watching the duel, suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes were also attracted by the calamity cloud. Compared with other foundation-building cultivators, he saw it more clearly. His perfect foundation-building consciousness allowed him to clearly see the condensation process of the calamity cloud. Not only that, he also felt the source of the heavenly calamity from the black cloud, as well as a faint breath.
Blackrock Mountain!
Some people used the third-level spiritual veins to achieve Dan formation in the training room on the mountain.
"The Heart Demon Art? It doesn't look like it."
Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he left the two people who were still fighting below and flew towards the direction of Black Stone Mountain.
Such a close-up opportunity to watch the tribulation, no matter what, can not be missed. Not only him, seven or eight powerful auras instantly rose in Black Stone City, these people also had similar ideas as Chen Luo.
The group of nine people flew to the vicinity of Black Stone Mountain and did not go any further.
At this moment, Black Rock Mountain has been completely locked by the aura of the heavenly calamity. It is easy to be enveloped by the heavenly calamity if you enter it, and the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be implicated.
Boom boom.
After the thunderclouds gathered to the critical point, the range was also greatly reduced. At this point, Elder Rong Ling's first step of the virtual pill in the training room had been completely condensed. The spiritual energy was qualified, and the second step was the thunder tribulation pill.
The intensity of the thunder tribulation will vary according to the strength of the cultivator and the level of pill condensation.
After the Void Pill was condensed, Elder Rong Ling flew out of Black Stone Mountain and stood in the void. For the cultivators who are undergoing the tribulation, the heavenly tribulation is a tribulation, but also an opportunity. The heavenly tribulation can help the cultivators who are undergoing the tribulation to quickly condense the golden pill, help them master the power of the pill, and comprehend the power of the heaven and earth's vitality in advance.
"It's old ghost Rong Ling!"
A foundation-building expert with a black aura beside Chen Luo spoke up. Judging from his expression, he should be very familiar with Elder Rong Ling, otherwise he would not have recognized him at first sight.
clap!!
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, but Elder Rong Ling, who was standing in the air, did not move at all. The heavenly calamity dissipated when it was three feet away from him. A translucent light curtain appeared above the Black Stone Mountain. The huge light curtain attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, Elder Rong Ling, who was standing in the air, was like a god, holding the lightning with his bare hands.
The lightning arc spread and was quickly consumed and differentiated under the circulation of the formation.
Hundreds of lightning snakes spread out densely, dispersing into countless directions and being guided to the ground by the formation. After the heavenly tribulation dispersed, its power was reduced countless times at once, turning into lightning like ordinary thunder magic. Elder Rong Ling saw this and quickly reached out to grab these scattered lightning and absorb the energy inside.
"This old guy is using the third-level formation of Black Stone City. If he is discovered by the Black Stone Patriarch, he will definitely extract his soul and refine his spirit."
The third-order formation of Black Stone City is the foundation of Black Stone Ancestor. What Elder Rong Ling did is equivalent to using Black Stone Ancestor's savings to help him overcome the tribulation. This behavior is no different from stealing Black Stone Ancestor's money.
"Ancestor Black Stone left three days ago. Black Stone City is now guarded by the three deputy city lords."
The person who was speaking had a surging aura and his features could not be seen clearly. Wailful souls were wailing all around him, and it was obvious that he was an old demon.
"oh?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of several people became subtle.
They are all old demons, and they are definitely not kind people. They followed the rules in Black Stone City before because of the fierce reputation of Black Stone Patriarch and the third-level formation that covered the sky and the sun. Now that Black Stone Patriarch is gone, the third-level formation is also used by Elder Rong Ling to overcome the tribulation, and the defense of Black Stone City has suddenly reached its weakest point. In this way, there are more places for manipulation.
An old demon turned around, turned into a beam of black light, merged into Black Stone City, and no one knew where he went.
Then three more people left.
After the four people left, the place suddenly became much quieter. Including Chen Luo, there were still five people here. None of the five people spoke, but just quietly watched Elder Rong Ling who was undergoing the tribulation in the sky.
This is not to say that these five people are not greedy, but they want more. Chen Luo was also thinking that if he could grasp this opportunity well, he would not have to worry about the resources before the Dan Formation, Madam Hua would not have to carry the burden, and Elder Li could be offline in advance.
Boom! !
Another bolt of thunder struck, and the second one was even more powerful than the first.
The entire third-order formation began to shake, the light on the formation moved faster, and some distorted faces began to appear on the surface. These were the spirits of the third-order formation. A formation that could be noticed by a Jindan cultivator like the Black Stone Ancestor was naturally not an ordinary one.
The formation was stable again, and there were noises in many places. This was because the foundation of the formation was damaged, and several points of the formation were destroyed by the thunder tribulation. The lightning arcs dispersed, and Elder Rong Ling stretched out his hand again to absorb the power of the thunder tribulation. With the passage of two heavenly tribulations, the aura of the Dan formation on Elder Rong Ling's body became stronger and stronger, gradually surpassing the level of foundation building, and the vitality of heaven and earth began to emerge around his body.
The two heavenly tribulations had damaged the foundation of the formation. If the third thunder tribulation fell, the formation of Black Stone City would definitely be shattered, and it would not be so easy to repair it at that time. If he only relied on the power of the formation to overcome the tribulation, Elder Rong Ling would have to fly out and face the heavenly tribulation alone, but he obviously did not plan to do so.
"Rong Ling! Aren't you afraid that the ancestor will come back to settle accounts with you? Don't forget, all of us have the means left by the ancestor."
Finally, someone showed up. It was one of the three deputy city lords left by the Black Stone Ancestor to guard the city. As for the other two, there has been no movement until now. I don’t know if they are dead or have other ideas.
"Noisy."
Elder Rong Ling glanced at the deputy city lord of Black Stone City who appeared and flicked his index finger.
A light green spot of light merged into the opponent's heart. Elder Rong Ling, whose spiritual energy had begun to change qualitatively, was simply not something the opponent could resist. After the spiritual energy merged, the deputy city lord of Black Stone City who was speaking changed his face, but soon the thunder tribulation in the sky responded.
clap!!
A bolt of lightning struck the man's head accurately. Although its power was not as strong as that of Elder Rong Ling who was undergoing a tribulation, the might of heaven was still terrifying.
"You dragged me into the catastrophe?!"
The deputy city lord who was speaking turned pale and ran away. At this time, he no longer cared about the methods left by the Black Stone Ancestor. The methods of the ancestor were terrible, but compared with his life, a little torture was nothing!
The most urgent thing is to keep yourself alive.
