He seemed relaxed, but this was his first battle with a cultivator since reaching the Great Perfection of the Late Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it was a life-or-death struggle. The six opponents were all top-tier cultivators of the Mahayana Stage. While not the first tier of either clan's power, they were certainly second-tier figures.
As the saying goes, destruction precedes construction. Ten years ago, during the great war between the two clans, Luo Jianqing was entrusted with important tasks, leading the cultivators against opponents far superior to his own. With the aid of the Bright Light Green Jade Pearl, he experienced countless powers. Several cultivators in the late Mahayana stage had their spiritual energy transferred into him, as had over a thousand cultivators in the Fusion stage.
If Luo Jianqing felt the rupture of his tendons and dantian at first, he gradually got used to it. The width of his tendons far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and was even comparable to that of cultivators in the middle stage of the Great Vehicle Stage!
The thickness of the tendons and veins is the key to how much spiritual power a cultivator can use.
If your tendons and veins are very broad, you will be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more quickly, and accommodate more spiritual power in your body. When you need to use it in the future, you will also be able to circulate the spiritual power out of your body very quickly.
In addition, Luo Jianqing's soul is different from that of ordinary people.
Having experienced so much spiritual energy baptism, the soul is naturally stronger. In the far north, Luo Jianqing also devoured and utilized Qi Luo's soul. As a cultivator in the late Mahayana stage, the powerful soul power caused Luo Jianqing's realm to rise qualitatively.
Thinking of this, Luo Jianqing couldn't help but lower his eyes and pursed his lips.
I don’t know how Qi Luo is doing now. She must have been injured ten years ago. After all, I owe her a karma, and I also owe the Demon Palace a karma.
Beneath the spacious and bright sycamore tree, leaves rustled, casting shadows across the boundless plain. Luo Jianqing slowly reached out and took Xuan Lingzi's right hand. He gently grasped it, his fingers sliding between the other's fingers until their fingers interlocked.
Xuan Lingzi's hands were a little cold, and there was not much warmth in his palms. Luo Jianqing held them tightly, transferring his body temperature to him, as if this could warm him up.
After a long while, Luo Jianqing murmured, "Master, if you don't wake up, I'll have to use force..."
The answer he got was the sound of rustling leaves of the paulownia tree. Xuan Lingzi still kept his eyes closed.
Luo Jianqing slowly turned his head and looked at the person beside him. His cold and handsome face was the same as it had been for decades. He rarely smiled and rarely moved. He just quietly went about his business, and an invisible and calm aura emanated from him.
Luo Jianqing rarely had the opportunity to examine Xuan Lingzi's appearance so closely. Sometimes, a person's radiance was so intense that others couldn't notice his features. Others didn't dare to look at Xuan Lingzi's appearance, and Luo Jianqing used to be intimidated. But after they got together, he stopped thinking about it and just thought he'd grown tired of seeing him over the years.
But now it seems that it is impossible to get tired of it.
Luo Jianqing stared at her for a moment, his fingers tightly clasped. He slowly raised the corners of his lips and leaned forward, but just as he was about to kiss her, he suddenly stopped and immediately raised his head to look at the tall sycamore tree.
"Wutong, can you see it?"
The phoenix tree shook its leaves at first, but then fell silent.
Luo Jianqing's mouth twitched, and he suddenly picked up two leaves of the sycamore tree from the ground and stuck them on the trunk. After doing all this, Luo Jianqing smiled slightly and said, "Just pretend you can't see it. You can't look at it, understand?"
The parasol tree swayed slightly, and a few large parasol leaves fell, as if responding to Luo Jianqing's words.
Beneath a sycamore tree, sparkling with fiery dots of light, a handsome young monk took another monk's hand and tenderly kissed it. The scene was so beautiful that, amidst the rustling of leaves, time seemed stretched to infinity, freezing everything in this moment.
However, at this moment, unbeknownst to Luo Jianqing and Wutong, nine venerables were preparing to enter the ninth level of danger. Eight of them stood in different directions, with one standing directly in the center. Before they even entered the ninth level, a faint green light flickered around them, forming a strange formation.
Before going down, one of the eight cultivators on the periphery frowned and asked, "We are all cultivators in the early stage of the Great Vehicle. Is it really okay to go on like this? That mysterious thing even killed the Second Sea Lord. If we go... aren't we really going to die?"
Upon hearing this, before Yin Ji could reply, a man with a tiger's head and a human body beside her burst into laughter and said, "What are you afraid of, human? Lady Yin Ji's Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation can't protect you? This is the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation. You, a human, are too timid!"
"you!"
The fifth elder of the Bai family said in a strange tone: "Why can't I also enter the ninth level of danger?"
"You?" Yin Ji chuckled and said, "The Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation is best set up by someone with the same level of cultivation. It's even better if their bone ages and strengths are similar. That will make the Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation seamless and perfect. Can you find eight more people in the late Mahayana stage with similar bone ages to you?"
After saying this, Yin Ji no longer paid attention to the five elders, and turned to the nine people and said, "No matter what happens, remember that you must not break the formation by yourself. The nine of you combined are far more powerful than ordinary late-stage Mahayana cultivators, and can even force them to reach the level of Divine Transformation."
"good!"
So, four demon venerables and five human venerables entered the ninth level of danger together to explore inside.
