“Cough cough cough…”
"Damn it, who on earth is so unvirtuous that he is choking me to death."
In the sea area of the Land of Ten Thousand Sands, Luo Longfei, who had achieved perfect spiritual transformation, rushed out from his secluded cave. A strong stench permeated his cave. Even his beloved sixth-grade inferior defense formation could not block the foul smell.
“Hoohoo!”
After rushing out of the cave, an even stronger stench filled his mouth and nose. Luo Longfei immediately closed his six senses, but it still didn't work as the stench was stinging his eyes.
"Who... cough cough... oooo... has no virtue to poop such a smelly shit."
Amid the roaring waves, a stench continued to roll in, and fish with their bellies turned up on the water were washed away into the distance by the waves.
At first, no cultivator cared about the stench. It was just a stench, a dung ball, a creature that defecated and urinated everywhere, a creature that had no moral principles.
Until this stench became closely related to every monk who practiced here.
“Crash!”
Amidst the surging water, a monk rushed out with splashes of water everywhere. Where he rushed out of the sea, a cracked ball of dark green feces gushed out like a hot spring.
"vomit……"
"Fellow Daoist, you just went to the deep seabed to taste the saltiness."
From far away on the sea, the loud laughter of a monk was heard, but the sound was quickly blocked by the stench that filled his mouth and nose.
"Let...let your mother's stinky fart go!"
The monk who jumped out of the water didn't care about the dizziness and started cursing.
He really thought it was an opportunity just now.
There are countless spiritual creatures in the fairy world, and many of them are self-hidden. Even the ancestor of Hedao may not be able to see through them. As long as they are related to the fairy path, countless cultivators will flock to them even if they are just picking up manure.
He actually went to take a look at the piles of things that appeared accidentally deep in the sea.
I didn’t expect it to be true…
…
Such a scene appeared in the several layers of ocean above and below this sea area. All the monks who were practicing in seclusion nearby were so frightened that they had to move out overnight.
There were also many cultivators who thought it was some kind of opportunity, so they dived into the water to taste the saltiness, and finally fled away cursing, cursing their ancestors for eighteen hundred generations, right up to the creation of the world.
…
"Why is this sea area so smelly? Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"
Some monks also thought the opposite, otherwise how to explain the sudden stench?
There must be a problem.
They are all cultivators. If this trick can fool others, can it fool them?
Just wait here.
However, the stinking sea area was too vast and was constantly expanding, spreading from millions of miles to tens of millions of miles, and then continuing to expand outward.
Ten years, twenty years... thirty years... one hundred years...
The stinking sea has spread over 50 million miles. Many of the monks who were determined to wait at the beginning have backed down. They can no longer bear to stay in this strange environment, and they all run away to bathe and burn incense.
Of course, there were also cultivators who fought to the death and used a variety of secret techniques, such as pupil techniques, super hearing, and the secret technique of finding spirits, but the area was too large and the effect was not obvious.
Somewhere deep in the sea.
The array's spiritual barriers were densely packed, blocking out both outside prying eyes and the stench from outside.
Shen Lian naturally knew about the situation of the cultivators outside. He also knew that there were cultivators outside who were not giving up and thought that they had a chance, so they were searching back and forth in the sea despite the stench.
However, Shen Lian had long anticipated that it would take more than a few dozen or a hundred years to break through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm during this retreat. He estimated that it would take at least several hundred years. If someone really had to go looking for shit in the stench, he would respect the person looking for shit as a tough guy.
Inside the cave, Dahei, Erwan and Sanqian were sitting cross-legged around Shen Lian. In front of each of them was a pot of fifth-level monster soup that was steaming continuously. They all started to practice very hard.
The last time the three methods were combined, an anomaly occurred, causing changes to the ordinary black fish. This time, Shen Lian naturally wanted to keep this good thing for his own spirit beast.
The wandering five elements of magic power manifested around Shen Lian, forming a group of energy vortices.
Time passes by little by little.
Thirty years.
Fifty years.
One hundred years.
Two hundred years.
Two hundred and eighty years.
…
Every time he practiced for a period of time, Shen Lian would quietly dive out to patrol the sea area to see if any powerful cultivators were attracted.
By the way, several suspicious palaces were set up in several places to distract attention in case we really encountered any powerful monks.
Fortunately, they were lucky. Except for a few small gods that appeared sporadically, most of the cultivators began to walk around this sea area.
Gradually, this smelly sea has become common in the surrounding area.
This is also thanks to the geographical environment of the Land of Ten Thousand Sands. There is not much spiritual energy and the land areas where people can live are very small. Therefore, there have never been large-scale ethnic groups or cities.
As for the reason, it's not that there haven't been monks looking for it, but no one has found any clues over the long years.
Besides, there are so many places where spiritual energy is insufficient. Many places are like swamps, and there are places that swallow up living creatures from time to time. I have not seen any cultivator figure out the reason for it.
If someone really delved deeper, there wouldn't be so many unknown places in the fairy world.
Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, had finally reached the perfection of the initial stage of refining the void in his cultivation of law, and his Taoist magic power had also reached the peak of the initial stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void in his cultivation of Taoism.
The power of rules that circulates around the body reflects three kinds of Dharma images: a five-colored bowl, a black and white plate, and a dimly glowing stone chime. It surrounds the body and interacts with the magic power in the body.
Coupled with the physical cultivation essence that had already reached the peak of the early sixth stage, the three energies roamed and collided in the body. In an instant, pieces of rich colorful energy were like burning flames.
In the blink of an eye, colorful waves of fire surged out, frightening the three little ones so much that they rolled and crawled to the edge of the cave holding their meat soup.
The three energies converged in the body. Shen Lian released all his spiritual thoughts and operated the several formations in the cave to the maximum.
The three energies gathered in the lower dantian. At this moment, the hazy 'spiritual root tree' was shining, emitting mysterious energy that was reflected in the body.
Shen Lian suddenly realized that his internal organs, bones, blood vessels, flesh and blood seemed to have turned into stars, galaxies, and continents, and his blood, like a mighty river, began to violently wash over his body.
Under the control of the powerful divine consciousness, he practiced three methods at the same time: cultivating the essence of the body, cultivating magic power through Taoism, and cultivating magic power through Dharma. The three then merged after running through their respective meridians.
The surging energy traveled throughout his body, like a wild dragon bombarding every part of his body. Intense pain emanated from everywhere, causing his face to become somewhat distorted.
In the sea of divine thoughts.
Purple hot steam was coming out of the head of the little divine man, and all three skills were activated, causing his little face to swell and emit hot steam.
After the three energies rushed into the area of the 'Spirit Root Tree', the fused energy surged several times, the flesh, blood, and bones began to shatter, and then quickly healed into new flesh, blood, and bones.
Just like this, it shattered and reassembled again and again, and the five elements energy washed over Shen Lian like a wave.
The speed of this flushing changed very quickly. At the beginning, it was only a few times per breath. After a dozen breaths, the speed of fragmentation and reorganization reached an extremely terrifying level, thousands or even tens of thousands of times per breath.
Shen Lian's original appearance remained unchanged, but his sixth-grade lower-grade robe had long been shattered into pieces, and it seemed as if countless insects and ants were crawling under his body.
At the same time, the three little ones also noticed the change in the aura of their master. There was an indescribable mysterious aura in the five elements of magic power that washed out.
The three little ones immediately manifested their shrunken bodies from their respective directions, with their heads facing Shen Lian. They swallowed the five elements of magic power released by their master into their mouths, and took the mysterious power that overflowed from the five elements into their bodies.
…
“Buzz!”
Over the calm ocean, the sound of thunder rolled up and colorful clouds of spiritual light spread out.
The fairy clouds were hazy, and a towering fairy mountain, deep and immeasurable, showed a corner of it from the fairy clouds.
Although it was only a corner, it seemed to be endless. Gray energy was rolling at the foot of the mountain, causing the void to distort and cracks to appear.
The moment this strange phenomenon appeared, Huang Youdao and the other two who were practicing in three other places had already stopped practicing and hid in the water, and began to investigate the scope of the strange phenomenon.
Boundless pressure poured down from the Immortal Mountain.
Even without wind, the vast ocean would roll up white waves, but at this moment, under the pressure of falling from the sky, the vast ocean turned into a dead sea.
The waves disappeared and the sea surface turned into a calm mirror.
Due to the previous stench, low-level fish and shrimp in the ocean have become extinct, and the demonized tribes have migrated to even farther places.
After the strange phenomenon of the fairy mountain appeared this time, the previous scene of the black fish spitting bubbles never appeared again.
At this moment, blood mist began to float around Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and a bloody smell came out of his mouth and nose.
However, after practicing to the current level, the bloody smell has faded, and it is more of a refreshing fragrance.
Shen Lian could feel the changes brought about by the reorganization of his body. The dual rules of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang that he had comprehended were increasingly integrated with his flesh, blood, and bones during this process of breaking and reorganizing.
The goal of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm is to internalize the rules into his bones, and that is what he is doing now.
‘呼哧’‘呼哧’大喘气的神念小人，先天紫灵已经变成了一个新郎官帽的样子，不断洒落点点朦胧紫光，让神魂保持着清醒。
清醒的神念感知下，沈炼看到了自己体内，道修和法修的经脉出现了融合。
本来这两条经脉是各管各的，互相之间的法力虽说有交融，可却是透过经脉渗入血肉中才会融合在一起。
可此刻，经脉间开始出现了交汇，刚开始还有些排斥，不断爆发出能量将血肉轰碎，可随着时间的推移，两种经脉在排斥中逐渐的相融。
在这个过程中，蕴藏在血肉骨骼间的体修精气，也和两种法力出现了融合。
除了道修、体修各自的十几条经脉外，在重组的血肉中衍生出了数不清的细密经脉，密密麻麻如同蛛网。
此刻，这些开辟出来的蛛网经脉，九成以上还属于泾渭分明状态，一部分运转着道修法力，一部分运转着法修法力，经脉所处的血肉中则是流淌着体修精气。
“轰隆隆！”
这一刻，海面之上的仙山异象愈发的清晰，散发出来的威压越来越重。
浩瀚的威压压得海面下沉，滔滔大水开始被压得紧绷起来，从水流状态变得粘稠。
仙山中，一片灰色的电弧从朦胧的仙山中衍生出来。
雷音炸响的刹那，沈炼的神念海中，神念小人如受雷殛，感觉着雷音在他神魂中炸开。
“给我冲！”
神念小人露出一抹狞厉，神念全速的调动起三门修行法门，一枚枚灵丹、极品灵石在体内碎裂，化为了滚滚能量融入经脉中。
道、体、法三种能量这一刻，齐齐迸发出了狂暴的气息，五行、阴阳两种规则和法力一起，让沈炼身体剧烈一颤。
下丹田，丹田海域四周猛地塌陷一片，一片更加广袤的储存法力的区域被轰开，冲的元婴连忙抱住了随身小世界维持自己威严的站姿。
中丹田，丹胎上卷起耀眼的五彩，一圈圈如涟漪冲向四周，衍生出一片新的法力储存之地。
体内，本命精气席卷浑身上下每一个角落，五脏六腑、经脉筋骨、指甲表皮，还有浑身上下各种小毛毛。
这一刻，沈炼可谓是内外兼修，从上面大头，到下面小头，无所不至。
炼虚中期。
道修炼神返虚中期。
体修六阶中期。
“收！”
突破完了之后，沈炼猛地真开眼。
一股强大的感觉萦绕周身。
可这股感觉仅仅持续了一个呼吸，就被头顶冥冥之中降下来的威压给冲的七零八落，转瞬回到了现实。
“收了神通吧！”
他有种感觉若是再继续耽误下去，源自仙山上的雷一定会劈落下来，而他指定渡不过。
悬空的‘仙山’天雷，笼罩着灰蒙蒙的光，就好像是从一片灰色的淤泥中长出来的。
根本不需要他用神念去感应，更不用眼睛去看，直接显化在了沈炼的感知中。
虽说如此，可沈炼还是下意识的去用神念去看一下仙山，他很想知道为啥会有天劫出现，似乎体内这种变化有些不太让天地喜欢。
神念显化出去的刹那，他突然眉头一皱。
仙山异象落下，有一片朦胧的灰色线条，这点在上次突然引动仙山的时候，沈炼就察觉到了。
差异的是，他突然发现在这片灰色线条间，还掺杂了另外三种气息。
一五彩，一青，一血。
五彩气息缥缈，飘忽如雾，朦胧间和汪洋之中某处若有若无的泛起勾连，气息类似先天紫光，可又没有那么纯粹。
只是一念间，沈炼就快速的捕捉了五彩缥缈气所在，隐约间感知其落在了上方的一片海域中。
青色气息朦胧就只有寥寥百余缕细丝，气息朦胧，这气息沈炼可太熟悉了。
他在云霄界的时候，就是靠忽悠小云霄功德之力起家的，真是又好用又实惠。
相比于云霄界的功德之力，这百余缕细丝不要看又细又朦胧，可散发出的伟岸和品质，远比云霄界的功德更强。
和青色功德丝线缠绕的血色丝线，大概有两百多缕，散发着一股股灼热的毁灭气息，又如跗骨之蛆，躲避不开。
“业障……”
“嗡！”
当沈炼想要感应第二眼的刹那，仙山异象散去，劫气消散一空，就好像重来没有出现过一样。
再去感应就感应不到了。
“业障之力，我哪里来的业障！”
恍然间，沈炼惊疑。
而此刻，仙山异象散去的刹那，一道惊雷在他神念中炸开，将刚刚冒出来的念头给轰了回去。
“先撤。”
回神过来后，沈炼看了一眼摇摇欲坠的洞府，又看了看趴在地上瑟瑟发抖的三只小。
洞府内还有一缕缕五彩气息环绕，都是刚刚他修炼之时从体内逸散出来的。
挥手间，沈炼将洞府内的气息压缩成了三个团子。
一大两小。
由于洞府灵禁破碎，之前外面的臭气也弥漫了进来，故此压缩的丸子有点怪味。
可沈炼没有在意，捏过三小只，将丸子就分别塞进了三小只嘴巴里。
甭管有用没用，不能浪费。
大的塞进了大黑的嘴里，两颗小的塞给了三千和二万，然后在三小只惨叫声音中，将它们扔进了随身小世界中。
在外巡视的黄有道三人已经有消息传回来，这次仙山异象产生的异象，比上次范围翻了两三倍。
好在之前的布置非常有效，只是有零星的修士察觉到了异样。
按照之前想好的办法，沈炼从容有序的破坏掉自己的洞府，扫除掉自己的气息后，快速的远遁。
……
一个月过去。
换了一个新地方安身的沈炼，感知着体内密密麻麻交织的经脉。
这些经脉分属两种，遍布在血肉之间，有些还环绕在骨骼外面。
经脉中极少的一部分内相融着三种法力能量，剩下九成则还是处于泾渭分明的状态。
随着他意念调动，两处丹田外加血肉之中，三种能量通过各自的运转区域，朝着经脉相融的地方汇聚。
随之，手心中一枚龙眼大小的五色能量球出现，璀璨的五光十色，散发出恐怖的毁灭气息。
“去！”
屈指一弹，这颗龙眼大小的能量球朝着前方激射而去。
“轰隆！”
下一刻，三种能量融合的能量球，在事先准备好的试验场内炸开，轰然间的巨响震得四周灵禁震荡闪烁，一个方圆五百里的大坑显化而出。
六阶上品的阵法剧烈摇曳，大片的灵禁破灭成虚无。
“三种能量的融合只有一成的比例，但整体威力却比预料中的强了数倍。”
小小实验了一下后，沈炼脸上满是笑意，三种能量融合虽说有‘劫气’高悬头顶，可比三种能量在他手中强行融合的时候强横太多了。
“我这不会是在打造什么特殊体质吧。”
倒也不怪沈炼猜想，钧天阁内就有几位拥有特殊体质的修士，体质赋予了额外的战力增幅。
你以为体质就一个什么身体，强横硬抗灵宝。
实际上的体质可能包含传承的血脉秘术，亲近规则的天赋，更可能有人直接从中参悟出独有的神通，战力增幅更像是玄学问题。
然而，快乐是短暂的。
沈炼回想到之前仙山异象笼罩下，出现的另外三股和他相关的线条气息，脸上的快乐就不知道转移到哪里去了。
五彩线条应该是机缘，万沙之地这里可能藏着什么秘宝，机缘巧合下和他造成的仙山异象出现了联系。
可功德和业障是什么鬼。
沈炼现在可没有修功德，自从从云霄那里知道仙灵界功德之力不好混后，他直接就当机立断给断了。
这些年来他就没干过好……
另外，这次为了修炼，还人工制造了方圆愈五千万里的毒区，顺带着不知道熏死了多少没有灵智的虫鱼虾蟹。
按道理来说，没有灵智的生灵整天浑浑噩噩，哪怕是死亡也不会生出怨念，何谈业障之力。
“等…等。”
思绪如闪电一般划过神念海，沈炼突然一愣。
好事，他干过。
作为丹师，他之前几百年给体修道友谋了福利。
“六乾丹！”
手中灵光一闪，沈炼将之前剩下的六乾丹拿了出来。
此丹的功效就是助力五阶圆满体修进阶，顺带借助澎湃的药力推动修士硬抗过体修天劫。
从问世以来，他陆陆续续发出去的六乾丹一共才二十一颗，其中成功进阶者九人。
“不会真的是你这个倒霉丹吧。”
将手中灵丹捏的变了形，沈炼神色幽幽。
“我怎么这么倒霉，明明是给道友们谋福利的，虽说目的不纯，可这不重要，重要不是有九位道友真的因此丹进阶了六阶初期。”
“业障之力是功德之力的一倍，这是为啥？”
“吃了六乾丹没渡过天劫的有十二人，这比例也没有达到二比一啊，为啥业障是功德的两倍？”
“做好事还做出孽来了？”
“还好还好，发出去的六乾丹数量不多，以后万万不能再往外送了。”
After thinking about it, Shen Lian's face turned bitter. Although he was not completely sure, he felt that it was probably correct.
You know, he spent a lot of effort to develop the Liuqian Pill.
In order to let fellow Taoists see the immediate results and demonstrate the efficacy of this pill.
Shen Lian deliberately added a herb called Polygonum multiflorum whose medicinal properties had been extracted into the pill. The only function of Polygonum multiflorum without its medicinal properties is to be excreted from the body again after taking it, producing an effect that seems to cleanse the essence and marrow.
Just think about it, if you have already reached the fifth level of physical cultivation, how could there be so many impurities in your body? They are all thoughtful gifts from Master Shen the Alchemist.
Otherwise, how can you get the full effect of the pill?
The person who takes the pill feels black sticky substance oozing out of his pores. His first reaction is that this Liuqian Pill is really useful. He didn't expect that even though he has reached the fifth level, there is still so much dirt in his body. No wonder he has not broken through to the sixth level after practicing for so long.
Who would have thought that this was Master Ji Dan's doing.
Everyone has to praise Master Ji Dan, he is so good.
A great alchemist.
At this moment, Shen Lian thought of the Nine-Aperture Foundation-Building Pill that he had refined.
Because of this damn pill, he stopped refining foundation-building pills, golden pills, and infant-forming pills that were related to breakthroughs in his alchemy career, for fear that he would refine another Nine Aperture Pill.
Unexpectedly, instead of refining the ready-made breakthrough elixir, he failed on the elixir recipe he had researched.
“Level-breaking elixir.”
Over thousands of years, he had refined countless elixirs, but this was not the case with the elixirs that could be used for spiritual practice.
"We'll have to verify this when we have a chance."
Playing with the Liuqian Pill in his hand, Shen Lian originally wanted to crush it, but after thinking it over, he put it away for the time being.
The power of merit and karma is currently too subtle for him to feel at all. If it weren’t for the strange phenomenon in the fairy mountain this time, he would not have discovered it.
Although I have a feeling that it is most likely caused by Liu Qian Dan, I still need to confirm it before I can feel at ease.
"Nine-aperture foundation-building pill, what a sin! How could I have given birth to such a thing?"
This time it can be considered a blessing in disguise. I knew about the possible problems in advance, and I will no longer send out Liu Qian Dan from now on.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that next time he returns to Juntian City, he will sell the pills to people who come to ask for them at a high price.
After half a day, Shen Lian adjusted his mood and began to focus on the follow-up of the breakthrough.
After the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, he still had to return to Juntian City, otherwise where would he get the subsequent elixirs? Not to mention that he had a family to support and a large number of animals to feed.
Those who practice magic eat elixirs, and those who practice Taoism eat top-grade spirit stones.
From refining essence into qi to advancing to the initial stage of refining spirit and returning to the void, the Taoist practitioner swallowed nearly ninety thousand top-grade spirit stones.
To advance from the initial stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void to the intermediate stage, this small level consumed nearly 130,000 spirit stones. If one wants to advance to the late stage of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void, it is estimated that 200,000 top-grade spirit stones will be required as a base.
In fact, it is impossible for a normal cultivator of law to devour so many top-grade spirit stones even at the level of refining emptiness. However, Shen Lian used the spiritual energy in the top-grade spirit stones to fuse into immortal spirit energy, and the probability of exchanging for synthesized high-level spiritual objects was too good. It was simply a gold-spending cave.
The Hun Tian Jie Body for physical cultivation is also a pitfall. The subsequent practice of this technique can also be carried out using ordinary sixth-level physical cultivation spiritual objects.
But... there is a but here. If you want to become stronger in physical cultivation, you must use better spiritual objects of the same level. There are many spiritual objects of the same level, and the differences are also high and low.
The spiritual object needed for the mid-stage sixth stage of cultivation is called Hunyuan Yiqi Sui. If this spiritual object can be added to the cultivation, it will speed up the accumulation of essence and energy, and can also improve the quality of the essence and energy.
Most of the Hunyuan Yiqi Sui appear in the core area of the mineral veins, and appear around the mineral vein treasures. It is a little bit helpful for refining the seventh-level Hedao spiritual treasure. It can be said that it belongs to the category of top spiritual objects in the Juntian territory.
In addition, in addition to the method of the Five Thunders in the Hun Tian Jie body, there is also a method of refining a spiritual treasure for physical cultivation, which requires Xuanzhong Water and Chenshan Sand as materials.
However, the birthplaces of these two materials are in the void, and they are extremely difficult to come across. They are spiritual objects that many physical cultivators are fighting for.
If this continued, Shen Lian found that his plan to save spirit stones was a bit precarious.
"I was born to work hard, and now I have to cheat my fellow Taoists against my conscience. I was a little too conscientious before, and I will have to lower it by several dozen percentage points next time."
Since the goal is the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, he naturally has to choose the best. Instead of making himself suffer, Shen Lian thinks it is better to cheat his fellow Taoist.
…
"It stinks. Who is so heartless that a good sea area has been turned into a poisonous area?"
Shen Lian changed into a younger appearance, transformed into an early stage refining cultivator who came from afar, and cursed wildly.
As time went by, the impact of the previous fairy mountain phenomenon in the sea was still spread by a few scattered gods.
As a result, several more Void-Refining cultivators have come here in the past few days.
First there was a foul stench, then there was the majestic arrival, which made many people speculate that the stench was not accidental.
On this day, in the surging water, Shen Lian melted into an inconspicuous water light. He had mastered the second level of the Five Elements Rules, and the circulation transformed him into the rules of water, allowing him to thrive in the ocean like a fish in water. Ordinary cultivators could not sense his presence.
On the sea, two guys in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm gathered in a cloud and moved quickly along the sea surface.
The Land of Ten Thousand Sands is extremely desolate. Most of the monks wandering around here are here to practice in seclusion.
"Fellow Christian, have you found anything?"
On the left, a monk wearing a blue robe and standing on a compass was looking around and asking questions.
This cultivator has normal eyes, nose and mouth, but has four ears. Behind the two normal ears on the left and right, there is a smaller ear.
The two small ears were a dark purple color, emitting faint ripples.
The catechumen humanoid race, from the neck down you can clearly see fine fish scales, with silver and blue lights intertwined.
There was a whirring sound coming from the gaps between the fish scales, and in particular, there was a thing like a tail on the body that hung down from the robe and fell into the water.
It is obvious that the two monks are not pure human beings.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, you have the physique of a spirit beast with the bloodline of the Six Ears. Is there anything happening in this sea area that you can't hear?"
"There are countless sounds in the world, but I can only hear a few. In my opinion, it is probably those juniors who have reached the God Transformation stage talking nonsense. There is no such thing as an opportunity. Most likely, they were frightened by the seniors who happened to pass by."
Fellow Daoist Sun shook his head, and his two little purple ears trembled slightly.
"That's what I expected. A little god of transformation believes everything he hears."
The Taoist Friend narrowed his eyes, retracted his tail that was deep in the ocean, and changed the subject, saying, "Old Sun, have you felt that the atmosphere of heaven and earth is a little turbulent recently? I'm afraid that the tide of clarity and turbidity is coming again."
Sun Sier rubbed his ears. "There are indeed a lot more noises between heaven and earth. Based on past experience, it does seem like a tide of clarity and turbidity is coming."
"The turbid air rises and impacts the galaxy defenses of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens. The clean air pours back from above, and the yin and yang collide. I wonder if it will rush out the dormant spiritual objects of the origin like last time."
The Taoist friend smiled and said, "Old Sun, are you ready? I got a sixth-level high-grade spiritual treasure talisman not long ago. Although it is a bit broken, it can just allow me to control it. If I happen to encounter the clear and turbid tide, maybe it will be useful."
"You are lucky, fellow Taoist." Sun Si'er sighed.
"The tides of clarity and turbidity, the collision of yin and yang between heaven and earth, is the time for encountering opportunities. You and I should practice together during this period of time to avoid conflicts with others.
If you get hurt and miss the tidal backflow, you will miss a great opportunity."
"That's right." The Taoist friend nodded, "Try not to conflict with fellow Taoists during this period. I don't want to waste this top-grade spiritual treasure talisman."
"It seems that there are no opportunities here. Let's go. We still have some time. Let's go to other areas nearby and see if we can buy one or two more self-defense items at the auction."
After he finished speaking, two figures rode on a beam of light and fled into the distance.
…
The two cultivators rushed out of the Land of Ten Thousand Sands. Along the way, they rode on the same magical treasure and kept exchanging their experiences in cultivation or gossip they had heard with each other.
After they had left Wansha for a long distance, the two people who were chatting suddenly looked at each other, and then both breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's it going? Didn't you catch up?"
Sun Si'er's ears grew rapidly and fluttered like a palm-leaf fan.
At the same time, the dense scales under the seeker's neck also exploded and cracks appeared. Strands of kelp-like fluff grew out of the scales wildly and floated in the air.
These kelp-like flocs adhere to the surrounding void like fine veins, and exude waves of energy like water.
While performing these two secret techniques, the suppressed realm of the two people was also broken. It was not an ordinary middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but it seemed that they were approaching the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
Each of them exudes a strong blood force, and their aura is strange and ethereal.
"I didn't catch up."
Sun Si'er let out a long breath, and his two grown ears shrank back into the shape of small mushrooms.
"My heart blood warning also disappeared."
The seeker sighed, and a bean-sized wattle on its lower jaw was flashing with a faint light.
Every time this wattle changes color, it amplifies the perception of danger.
This time, when they were exploring the sea area, they both sensed danger at the same time, and even their warning wattles turned blood red, which indicated that the situation was extremely dangerous and could potentially destroy them directly.
Therefore, why did the two of them talk about the matter of the clear and turbid tides in such a long-winded way? Wasn't it to tell the fellow Taoist lurking in the unknown place not to mess with us, because a great opportunity is coming, so please conserve your strength.
"How can there be such a strong person in this barren land?"
孙四耳皱眉，它们两人可不是那些随大流的炼虚中期，多年以来一直游走在虚无之地，靠着示警和强大的感知之力，做的是无本买卖。
两人联手之下，连炼虚后期修士都干掉过数位，还两次从炼虚大圆满面前保命退走。
自负就算是碰到钧天阁内山长老级别的炼虚后期修士，也有全身而退的把握。
可突如其来的示警，吓得两人只感慌忙逃窜。
“到底是何人？”
孙四耳眼睛缩着，它很相信两人的秘术，因为这是它们俩安身立命的手段，并且逃过了数次生死之劫。
要知道，它们连钧天阁在虚无之地的矿脉都抢过，靠的就是这种本事。
血脉天赋之下，感知远超同阶，不比炼虚后期修士差。
“不会是有炼虚大圆满修士在那里谋划什么吧。”
慕道友喃喃回应，“至少也得是钧天阁圣地中走出来的炼虚后期修士级别的存在，不然不可能给咱们俩灭顶之灾的感觉。”
对于它们这种混当在虚无之地的手艺修士，修士在他们的眼中分为了三六九等，同阶修士中散修底蕴最差，其次是宗门，最高等的就是钧天阁这种圣地走出的修士，一个个不能看原本境界。
“别嘚嘚了，快走吧。”
孙四耳嘟囔了一声，它们虽说没有感受到异象，可却在万沙之地外感应到了空间的动荡，所以一路追到了万沙之地。
结果，差点没被吓尿。
此地已不宜久留！ ……
“清浊潮汐。”
万沙之地外，一粒尘埃划过长空，摇摇晃晃的没入到了汪洋大水中。
“仙灵界的物种还真是多样性，天赋好强啊。”
这次沈炼倒是长眼界了，他很好奇这两位修士的天赋，竟然能提前预警所在区域的危机。
这功能可就太逆天了。
这也倒是给他提了一个醒，敛息术有时候也不保险，仙灵界的奇术秘法太多了，还真不好防范。
随后的时间里，他在上下区重迭的汪洋上反复徘徊，再也没有出现和之前两个家伙那般稍微逆天的修士。
后来沈炼倒也想明白了，秘术厉害是厉害，可修行之术一饮一啄皆有定数，不可能只有得没有失，之前两个家伙能有这般秘法，想必也是花费了极大的代价。
确定了这次异象没有引起大范围的影响，他也松了口气，开始寻找起仙山异象出现的时候，那道出现五彩灵线所指的海域。
至于黄有道三人，则是分别藏了起来，开始修行起来，也准备一口气修行到炼虚中期。
……
云霄界。
绵延了一千多年的仙灵界秩序笼罩，终于让界内形成了独有的环境。
一道道天瀑从界外倾泻下来，在界内形成了绵延亿万里的汪洋海域，之前的六百二十五座修炼大陆变成了岛屿。
渐渐的，界内环境也蜕变成了仙灵界的状态。
笼罩在界壁上的仙灵界秩序变得衰弱下来，仙灵界的修士们也能够进入云霄之内。
虽说界域破开，和淮水之地的修士依旧将这里称之为云霄界。
由于还残留着天地秩序，高阶的炼虚修士也都心有顾忌，故此进入界内的还是以化神层次居多，零星有几个炼虚初期。
因为连接上了仙灵界的繁盛，云霄界在短短开界一千多年来，化神层次的修士迎来了一个小喷发场景。
进阶化神后的修士们，很多萌发了仙灵界这么大，我想去看看的想法，一个个急不可耐的冲了出去。
随着云霄界冲出来的修士越来越多，云霄界的神秘感也就越来越淡，以前还有不少修士凑在门前等候捉婿，现在场景已经不在那么火热。
天南大陆，万星海。
准确的说，现在已经没有了万星海，滔滔巫支河水灌下，形成了更加广袤的汪洋。
万星海变成了万星海域。
玄尸宗。
弥漫的黄白烟形成了厚厚的云团，遮蔽在岛屿上空，一团尸气泛出汩汩惨绿色，从高空坠落下来卷入了宗门深处。
正在修行的钱玳，被这股绿色的尸气给惊醒。
此刻的钱玳双眸释放着绿光，整个身子骨瘦如材，曾经胖胖的肥肉没有了，整个人就像是一具干尸，头颅晃动的时候，还能传出咔咔的声音。
惨绿色的尸光从高空落下后，化为了一团朦胧绿色的干瘦老者身影，头戴小帽，身穿蝠纹万寿衣，和一个农家老寿星一样。
“师祖。”
看到老者后，钱玳眼中并没有曾经那种光，反而干巴巴的叫了一声。
“你修行这么多年，到现都没有查到线索，真是让老祖失望。”
“老祖，我宗这些年来能传承下来已经殊为不易，如今才有些恢复荣光，云霄界的变故那里是我能查到的。”
“废物！”
老者色变，“枉我在宗门面前给你打了保票，还要提升你去做真传弟子，你连点有用的信息都查不到，老夫还怎么举荐你。”
“那‘裴天澜’的名号这么响亮，你也早就是化神之境，也参与了其谋划的诸多计划，就事先没想到多探寻一下？”
许久后，老者重新恢复了老寿星的模样，面色不在狰狞，唏嘘说道：“云霄和仙灵界相比差的太远了，当年老夫开创仙尸宗，放在仙灵界就是一个笑话。
几万年来，老夫也不过炼虚中期，若不是修行法门诡异特殊，早就该坐化而去了。
如今老夫只是狮驼岭的一个长老，职位并不靠前，云霄界的变化是你我师徒翻身的机会，你懂不懂，这不仅仅是为了老夫，还是为你进入仙灵界进一步发展。”
尸厄苦口婆心的述说。
他本来是狮驼岭中并不起眼的一头老尸，浑浑噩噩几万年来才炼虚中期。
可没想到突然惊天一霹雳，哎……自己飞升的小千世界，‘祂’举界飞升了。
本来宗门内不断起眼的他，一下子变得炙手可热起来。
连一项硬邦邦的岭主都给他露出了笑脸，把沉寂在泥土中的他给挖了出来，夸他是狮驼岭的中流砥柱。
它们想要云霄界一切变化的消息，哪怕现在云霄界的变化早就传遍了淮水之地，可还是有修士不罢休，想要看看能不能寻到更深层次的东西。
特别是一些拥有附庸小千世界的势力，这可是他们非常关注的事情。
“老祖，带领界域飞升的裴道友，不是传闻已经拜入了大宗门了吗，再寻找举界飞升的相关的消息，还有什么意义。”
“让你找你找就是了，哪有这么多为什么。”
尸厄淡淡开口，“对了，你也化神圆满好久了，老夫给岭主申请了一下，暂时接你前往狮驼岭看看宗门，也好知道咱们宗门的强大，顺带晋升一下炼虚境。”
语罢，他从怀中摸出了一只血色小棺椁，直接抛给了钱玳。
“这是老夫当年收集的一份玄阴尸水，给你炼化吧。”
“好好干。”
惨绿色的尸气一下子溃散开来。
钱玳眸子波澜不惊，打开血棺检查了一下，浓郁的腥臭气息扑鼻而来，他没有犹豫一口就灌入嘴巴中。
玄阴尸水入肚后，寒气席卷全身。
如此同时，一缕缕散开在玄阴尸水中的破碎符文，在血肉间重组起来，形成了一股独特的韵律波动。
“乖孙子，三十六计走为上计，趁这次上去寻到机会就快跑！”
“他娘的，压榨了老子，还想压榨老子的孙子，没门。”
“小玳子，从现在开始我以初代祖师的名义，将你驱逐出师门，你再也不是老子后代的徒子徒孙了。”
“仙灵浩瀚，去闯一闯。”
“云霄界这里有太多人盯着，切记，跑路跑路跑路……”
钱玳面无表情的摸了摸小腹的位置。
在丹田的位置内，悬浮着两口棺椁。
棺椁内，躺着一个年轻、面容柔和的女子，梳着妇人的发髻。
另外一口棺椁中，是一个和他没有变瘦之前十分相似的年轻小胖子。
两人气息若有若无，类似一种活死人状态。
……
数年之后。
淮水，巫支河中游，鼍龙谷。
说是鼍龙其实就是大嘴鳄鱼。
鼍龙姚家。
浩瀚天威在大片的泥沼地上方渐渐散去，一头头鳄鱼脑壳扎在淤泥中，尾巴还在晃动。
泥沼上方，一道中年模样的身影在吸收了天降灵粹后，一下子变成了二十多岁的模样，身上的气息也随之攀升到了炼虚层次。
“恭喜贤婿成为我姚家第四位炼虚修士。”
爽朗的笑声在远处的小山上响起，姚家家主姚冲大笑起来，一旁还有三位模样各异的女修满眼都是激动。
半空中的年轻修士，剑眉星目，独有一双眼睛偶尔泛起淡淡的梅花状。
“炼虚境界，长青玄木体，不枉我等候这么多年，先把这具身体培养起来，然后就开启法体双修，最后借助灵木仙宫攫取资源，冲击合道境界。”
修士嘴角含笑，显得颇为兴奋。
After a moment, he frowned and said to himself, "That bastard had already reached the state of emptiness a thousand years ago. I heard that he even joined Juntian Pavilion. How could he dare to join Juntian Pavilion when he has such a big secret?"
"That's not like him at all."
"Could it be that he has changed his gender?"
"Juntian Pavilion, hehe... How about the Hedao Holy Land? This time, I will go all the way and go directly to the Lingmu Immortal Palace."
"Compared with Lingmu Immortal Palace, Juntian Pavilion is nothing. It is just a thousand years ahead in advancing to the Refining Void Realm. Leading by three or five thousand years in this realm is nothing."
Thinking of this, the young monk showed an eager expression.
"When I enter the Lingmu Immortal Palace and reach the peak of the Void Refining Realm, I will catch this bastard and beat him to death..."
As he thought this, his eyes drifted to the three excited female practitioners in the distance.
"Back then, I didn't even want a wife. You are such a good pretender, Lu Gou. When I catch you, I will see whether you are really pretending or not.
When the time comes, I will capture dozens, if not thousands, of strong and fat aliens to whip you severely. It will be different every day, hahahaha!"
