“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 praying 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.
The little divine being panted heavily, and his innate purple spirit had turned into a groom's hat, constantly shedding bits of hazy purple light to keep his soul awake.
With his clear mind perception, Shen Lian saw that the meridians of Taoism and Fa cultivation in his body were merging.
Originally, these two meridians were in charge of their own affairs. Although their magical powers were intertwined, they could only merge together after penetrating into the flesh and blood through the meridians.
But at this moment, the meridians began to intersect. At the beginning, there was some repulsion, and energy continued to burst out to shatter the flesh and blood. But as time went on, the two meridians gradually merged in the repulsion.
During this process, the physical essence contained in the flesh, blood and bones also merged with the two kinds of magical powers.
In addition to the dozens of meridians for Taoist and physical practitioners, countless fine meridians have emerged from the reorganized flesh and blood, as densely packed as a spider web.
At this moment, more than 90% of these opened up spider web meridians are still in a clearly divided state. One part is running the magic power of Taoist practitioners, and one part is running the magic power of Dharma practitioners. The flesh and blood where the meridians are located is flowing with the essence of physical practitioners.
“Boom!”
At this moment, the vision of the fairy mountain above the sea became clearer and clearer, and the pressure it emanated became heavier and heavier.
The vast pressure caused the sea surface to sink, and the surging water began to be compressed tautly, turning from a flowing state into a viscous state.
In the fairy mountain, a gray arc of electricity emerged from the hazy fairy mountain.
The moment the thunder sound exploded, in Shen Lian's sea of consciousness, the little man in his consciousness felt as if struck by lightning, and he felt the thunder sound exploding in his soul.
"Charge!"
The little man in divine consciousness showed a hint of ferocity, and mobilized the three cultivation methods at full speed. One elixir after another, and top-grade spirit stones shattered in his body, turning into rolling energy that merged into his meridians.
At this moment, the three energies of Tao, body and law all burst out with violent aura. The five elements, the two rules of yin and yang and the magic power together made Shen Lian's body tremble violently.
The lower Dantian and the surrounding Dantian sea suddenly collapsed, and a larger area for storing magic power was blasted open. The rushing Yuanying hurriedly hugged the small world with him to maintain his majestic standing posture.
In the middle dantian, dazzling colorful lights rolled up on the elixir embryo, and circles of them rushed out to the surroundings like ripples, giving rise to a new place for storing magic power.
Inside the body, the innate essence sweeps through every corner of the body, including the internal organs, meridians, bones, nails, skin, and various small hairs all over the body.
At this moment, Shen Lian can be said to have cultivated both inside and outside, from the big head on top to the small head on the bottom, everything is covered.
The middle stage of refining the void.
The middle stage of Taoist practice of returning to the void.
The middle stage of the sixth stage of physical cultivation.
"receive!"
After the breakthrough, Shen Lian's eyes suddenly opened.
A powerful feeling lingers around me.
But this feeling only lasted for a breath before it was shattered by the pressure that descended from the sky above, and he returned to reality in an instant.
"Put away your magical powers!"
He had a feeling that if he delayed any further, the thunder from the fairy mountain would surely strike him down, and he would definitely not be able to survive.
The suspended 'Xianshan' sky thunder was shrouded in a gray light, as if it had grown out of a gray mud.
He didn't need to use his divine sense to sense it, let alone see it with his eyes. It directly appeared in Shen Lian's perception.
Having said that, Shen Lian still subconsciously used his divine sense to look at the fairy mountain. He really wanted to know why the heavenly calamity appeared. It seemed that the changes in his body were not pleasing to heaven and earth.
The moment his divine consciousness manifested, he suddenly frowned.
The strange phenomenon of the fairy mountain fell, and there was a hazy gray line. Shen Lian noticed this when the fairy mountain was suddenly activated last time.
The difference was that he suddenly discovered that there were three other auras mixed in between these gray lines.
One is colorful, one is green, and one is blood.
The colorful aura is ethereal and drifting like fog, vaguely connected to somewhere in the hazy ocean. The aura is similar to the innate purple light, but not as pure.
In just a moment, Shen Lian quickly captured the location of the colorful ethereal air and vaguely sensed that it had landed in the sea above.
The green aura was hazy with only a few hundred thin wisps. Shen Lian was very familiar with this aura.
When he was in the Yunxiao Realm, he made his fortune by deceiving little Yunxiao into using his power of merit. It was really useful and economical.
Compared to the power of merit of the Yunxiao Realm, although these hundreds of strands of silk seem thin and hazy, the grandeur and quality they exude are far stronger than the merit of the Yunxiao Realm.
There were more than two hundred blood-colored threads entwined with the green threads of merit, emitting bursts of scorching destructive aura, like maggots on the tarsus that could not be avoided.
“Karma…”
“Buzz!”
The moment Shen Lian wanted to sense the second time, the strange phenomenon in the fairy mountain disappeared, and the calamity energy dissipated, as if it had never appeared again.
I won’t be able to sense it again.
"The power of karma, where does my karma come from!"
Suddenly, Shen Lian was surprised and suspicious.
At this moment, the moment the strange vision of the fairy mountain dissipated, a bolt of thunder exploded in his mind, blasting back the thought that had just emerged.
"Retreat first."
After coming back to his senses, Shen Lian glanced at the crumbling cave, and then at the three little ones lying on the ground and shivering.
There were wisps of colorful aura surrounding the cave, all of which had escaped from his body when he was practicing just now.
With a wave of his hand, Shen Lian compressed the breath in the cave into three balls.
One big and two small.
Since the spiritual seal of the cave was broken, the stench from outside had seeped in, so the compressed balls had a strange smell.
But Shen Lian didn't care. He pinched the three little ones and stuffed the meatballs into their mouths.
No matter whether it is useful or not, it cannot be wasted.
The big one was stuffed into Dahei's mouth, and the two small ones were stuffed into Sanqian and Erwan. Then, amid the screams of the three little ones, he threw them into his portable little world.
Huang Youdao and his two companions who were patrolling outside have already sent back news that the scope of the strange phenomenon caused by the fairy mountain this time is two or three times larger than the last time.
Fortunately, the previous arrangements were very effective, and only a few monks noticed something unusual.
According to the plan he had planned before, Shen Lian calmly and orderly destroyed his cave, cleared his own aura, and quickly escaped.
…
A month passed.
Shen Lian, who had settled in a new place, felt the densely intertwined meridians in his body.
These meridians are of two types, spreading throughout the flesh and blood, and some even wrap around the outside of the bones.
A very small part of the meridians contains the three kinds of magical energy, while the remaining 90% are still in a clearly separate state.
As he mobilized his thoughts, the three energies in the two dantians and in the flesh and blood passed through their respective operation areas and converged towards the place where the meridians merged.
Then, a five-colored energy ball the size of a longan appeared in the palm of his hand, shining brightly with all kinds of colors, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.
"go!"
With a flick of his finger, the energy ball, the size of a longan, shot forward.
“Boom!”
The next moment, an energy ball formed by the fusion of three energies exploded in the test field prepared in advance. The loud bang caused the spiritual barriers around to vibrate and flicker, and a huge pit with a radius of 500 miles appeared.
The sixth-grade superior formation shook violently, and large areas of spiritual restrictions were shattered into nothingness.
"The fusion of the three energies is only 10%, but the overall power is several times stronger than expected."
After a small experiment, Shen Lian's face was full of smiles. Although there was a "calamity energy" hanging over his head when the three energies were fused, it was much stronger than when the three energies were forcibly fused in his hands.
"I'm not trying to build some special physique."
It’s no wonder that Shen Lian guessed that there were several cultivators with special physiques in Juntian Pavilion, and their physiques gave them additional combat power.
You think that physical fitness is just a body that can resist spiritual treasures with strength.
The actual physique may include inherited blood secrets, talents that are close to the rules, and it is even more likely that someone can directly comprehend unique magical powers from it. The increase in combat power is more like a metaphysical issue.
However, the happiness was short-lived.
Shen Lian recalled the other three lines of aura related to him that appeared under the strange phenomenon of the fairy mountain, and the joy on his face disappeared.
The five-colored lines should be chance. There might be some secret treasure hidden in the land of ten thousand sands. By chance, they were connected with the fairy mountain vision he created.
But what the hell are merits and karma?
Shen Lian is not cultivating merit now. Ever since he learned from Yunxiao that it is not easy to mix the power of merit in the fairy world, he immediately decided to stop it.
He hasn't done a good job in these years...
In addition, for the sake of cultivation, a poisonous area with a radius of more than 50 million miles was artificially created, and countless unconscious insects, fish, shrimps and crabs were smoked to death.
Logically speaking, creatures without intelligence are in a daze all day long, and will not have any resentment even after death, let alone the power of karma.
"etc."
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Shen Lian was suddenly stunned.
Good thing, he did it.
As an alchemist, he had provided benefits to fellow physical practitioners for hundreds of years.
"Six Qian Pills!"
With a flash of inspiration in his hand, Shen Lian took out the remaining Liu Qian Dan.
The effect of this pill is to help the cultivator advance to the fifth level of perfect physical cultivation, and at the same time use the surging medicinal power to push the cultivator to withstand the physical cultivation tribulation.
Since its inception, he has only sent out twenty-one Liuqian Pills, of which nine people successfully advanced.
"It can't really be you, the unlucky Dan."
Shen Lian looked gloomy as he squeezed the elixir in his hand until it was deformed.
"Why am I so unlucky? I was clearly seeking benefits for fellow Taoists. Even though my intentions were not pure, that's not important. What's important is that nine fellow Taoists really advanced to the early sixth stage because of this pill."
"The power of karma is twice the power of merit. Why is that?"
"There are twelve people who took the Liu Qian Dan but didn't survive the heavenly tribulation. The ratio is not even two to one. Why are the karma twice as much as the merit?"
"Doing good things still leads to evil?"
"Fortunately, fortunately, the number of Liu Qian Dan that was sent out is not large. We must not send out any more in the future."
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 advance 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?"
Sun Si'er frowned. These two were not those middle-stage Void Refining cultivators who followed the crowd. They had been wandering in the land of nothingness for many years, relying on warnings and powerful perception powers to do a business with no cost.
With the two of them working together, they have killed several cultivators in the late stage of Lianxu, and have twice escaped from the presence of cultivators in the great perfection of Lianxu.
He was confident that even if he encountered a late-stage refining cultivator at the level of an inner mountain elder of Juntian Pavilion, he would be able to escape unscathed.
But the sudden warning frightened the two men so much that they fled in panic.
"Who is it?"
Sun Si'er narrowed his eyes. He believed in the secret technique of the two people very much, because it was the means by which they made a living and escaped several life-and-death crises.
You know, they even snatched the mines from Juntian Pavilion in the Land of Nothingness, relying on this ability.
Thanks to his bloodline talent, his perception far exceeds that of his peers and is no worse than that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm.
"Could it be that there is a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void planning something there?"
Daoist Mu murmured in response, "At least he has to be a cultivator of the late stage of the Refining Void who walked out of the holy land of Juntian Pavilion, otherwise it would be impossible for him to give us the feeling of a catastrophic disaster."
As for these skilled monks who were living in the void, they divided the monks into different levels in their eyes. Among the monks of the same level, the independent cultivators had the worst foundation, followed by the sect cultivators. The highest level were the monks who came out of holy places like Juntian Pavilion, and their original realms could not be judged.
"Stop talking so much and go away."
Sun Si'er muttered something. Although they did not feel any strange phenomenon, they sensed the turbulence of space outside the Land of Ten Thousand Sands, so they chased all the way to the Land of Ten Thousand Sands.
As a result, I almost peed my pants with fright.
It is no longer suitable to stay here for long! ...
"Clear and turbid tides."
Outside the land of thousands of sands, a speck of dust streaked across the sky, swayed and sank into the vast ocean.
"The species in the fairy world are really diverse, and their talents are so strong."
This time Shen Lian's horizons were broadened. He was very curious about the talents of these two cultivators, who could actually give early warning of crises in their area.
This function is really amazing.
This also reminded him that the breath-concealing technique was not always safe. There were too many magical techniques and secrets in the fairy world, and it was really hard to guard against them.
In the following time, he wandered repeatedly in the overlapping ocean of the upper and lower areas, and no more monks as powerful as the previous two guys appeared.
Later, Shen Lian finally understood. The secret technique was powerful, but the art of cultivation had its limits. It was impossible to have gains without losses. The two guys must have paid a huge price to have obtained such a secret technique.
After confirming that this strange phenomenon did not cause a large-scale impact, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to look for the sea area pointed by the colorful spiritual line when the fairy mountain phenomenon appeared.
As for Huang Youdao and the other two, they hid themselves separately and began to practice, preparing to reach the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage in one go.
…
Cloud world.
The order of the fairy world that has lasted for more than a thousand years has finally formed a unique environment within the world.
Waterfalls poured down from outside the realm, forming a vast ocean stretching for billions of miles inside the realm. The previous 625 cultivation continents turned into islands.
Gradually, the environment within the realm also transformed into the state of the fairyland.
The order of the fairy world shrouded by the boundary wall became weaker, and the cultivators of the fairy world were also able to enter the clouds.
Although the realm was broken, the cultivators in the Huai River area still called this place the Yunxiao Realm.
Since the order of heaven and earth still remains, high-level Void Refinement cultivators are also cautious, so most of those who enter the realm are at the Spirit Transformation level, with a few at the early stage of Void Refinement.
Because it was connected to the prosperous fairy world, in just over a thousand years since the opening of the Yunxiao world, the cultivators at the level of the God Transformation experienced a small eruption scene.
After advancing to the stage of Divine Transformation, many of the cultivators began to think, "The Immortal World is so huge, I want to go and see it," and they rushed out impatiently.
As more and more cultivators rushed out of the Yunxiao Realm, the mystery of the Yunxiao Realm became less and less. In the past, there were many cultivators gathering in front of the door waiting to catch a son-in-law, but now the scene is not so lively anymore.
Tiannan Continent, Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.
To be precise, the Wanxing Sea no longer exists. The surging water of the Wuzhi River has formed a more vast ocean.
The Sea of Ten Thousand Stars became the Sea Region of Ten Thousand Stars.
Xuanshi Sect.
The diffuse yellow-white smoke formed a thick cloud, covering the sky above the island. A ball of corpse gas emitting a pale green color fell from the sky and was sucked into the depths of the sect.
Qian Dai, who was practicing, was awakened by the green corpse gas.
At this moment, Qian Dai's eyes were emitting green light, and his whole body was skinny. The fat he once had was gone, and he looked like a mummy. When his head shook, a crackling sound could be heard.
After the pale green corpse light fell from the sky, it transformed into a hazy green figure of a skinny old man. He wore a small hat and a longevity robe with a bat pattern, just like an old farmer's centenarian.
"Grandmaster."
After seeing the old man, Qian Dai's eyes no longer had the same light as before. Instead, he let out a dry cry.
"You have been practicing for so many years, but you still haven't found any clues. This really disappoints the ancestor."
"Old Ancestor, it is not easy for our sect to be passed down over the years. Now we have just recovered some of its glory. How can I find out about the changes in the Yunxiao Realm?"
"waste!"
The old man's face changed. "I gave you a guarantee in front of the sect and promoted you to be a true disciple. You can't even find any useful information. How can I recommend you?"
"The name of Pei Tianlan is so famous, and you have already reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and have participated in many of his plans. Why didn't you think of exploring more about him beforehand?"
After a long time, the old man regained his old age, his face no longer grim, and he sighed and said, "Yunxiao is too far behind the Immortal Spirit Realm. When I founded the Immortal Corpse Sect, it would have been a joke in the Immortal Spirit Realm.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, I have only been in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm. If it weren’t for my unique and strange method of cultivation, I would have passed away long ago.
Now I am just an elder of Lion Camel Ridge, and my position is not high. The changes in the Cloud Realm are an opportunity for you and me to turn things around. Do you understand that this is not only for me, but also for your further development in the Immortal Realm?"
Shi'e spoke earnestly.
He was originally an inconspicuous old corpse in Lion Camel Ridge. He was in a daze for tens of thousands of years before he reached the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.
But I didn't expect that there would be a sudden bolt of lightning. Alas... the small world to which I ascended, 'He' also ascended with the entire world.
He, who had been attracting attention in the sect, suddenly became very popular.
Even the tough ridge master smiled at him, dug him out from the mud, and praised him as the backbone of Lion Camel Ridge.
They want the news of all the changes in the Yunxiao Realm. Even though the changes in the Yunxiao Realm have already spread throughout the Huai River area, there are still cultivators who refuse to give up and want to see if they can find something deeper.
Especially for some forces that have vassal small worlds, this is something they are very concerned about.
"Ancestor, isn't it rumored that Fellow Daoist Pei, who led the realm to ascend, has already joined a large sect? What's the point of looking for news related to the realm's ascension?"
"Just look for it if you're asked to. There's no need to ask so many questions."
Shi'e said calmly, "By the way, you have been in the state of perfect transformation for a long time. I have asked the mountain master to take you to Lion Camel Mountain to take a look at the sect temporarily. You can also know the strength of our sect and be promoted to the Void Refining Realm."
After he finished speaking, he took out a small blood-red coffin from his arms and threw it directly to Qian Dai.
"This is a portion of Xuanyin corpse water that I collected back then. Let me refine it for you."
"Do your best."
The pale green corpse gas suddenly dissipated.
Qian Dai's eyes were calm. He opened the blood coffin and checked it. A strong fishy smell hit his nose, and he drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
After the Xuanyin corpse water entered the stomach, coldness swept through the whole body.
At the same time, strands of broken runes scattered in the Xuanyin corpse water reassembled between the flesh and blood, forming a unique rhythmic fluctuation.
"My dear grandson, running away is the best strategy. Take this opportunity to run away!"
"Fuck you, you squeezed me, and now you want to squeeze my grandson? No way."
"Little Daizi, from now on, in the name of the first generation master, I will expel you from the sect. You are no longer my disciple."
"The fairy world is vast, go and explore it."
"There are too many people watching here in Yunxiao Realm. Remember, run, run, run..."
Qian Dai touched his lower abdomen expressionlessly.
Two coffins are suspended in the area of the dantian.
Inside the coffin, lay a young, gentle-faced woman with her hair in a bun.
In another coffin was a young fat man who looked very similar to him before he became thin.
The two people's breath was intermittent, similar to a state of living dead.
…
A few years later.
Huai River, the middle reaches of Wuzhi River, and the Taolong Valley.
It is called a crocodile, but it is actually a big-mouthed crocodile.
The Yao family of the crocodile dragon.
The vast power of heaven gradually dissipated above the vast swamp, and the heads of crocodiles were stuck in the mud, with their tails still shaking.
Above the swamp, a middle-aged figure suddenly turned into a man in his twenties after absorbing the spiritual essence from the sky, and his aura also rose to the level of refining emptiness.
"Congratulations to my dear son-in-law for becoming the fourth Void Refining Cultivator of my Yao family."
Hearty laughter rang out from a distant hill. Yao Chong, the head of the Yao family, laughed loudly. There were three female cultivators of different appearances standing beside him, their eyes filled with excitement.
The young monk in mid-air had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his only pair of eyes occasionally showed a faint plum blossom shape.
"The Refining Void Realm, the Evergreen Mysterious Wood Body, it's worth my waiting for so many years. First, cultivate this body, then start practicing both the Dharma and the Body, and finally use the Spirit Wood Immortal Palace to grab resources and impact the He Dao Realm."
The monk had a smile on his face and seemed quite excited.
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!"
