At midnight.
While Mr. Cheng was busy cultivating new fields, four righteous giants, Master Baimei, Master Zunsheng, Fairy Biwen, and Master Tianmeng, gathered in the throat of Bashu.
When a group of four people entered the blood cave and looked at the empty cave and the corridors extending in all directions, Master Zunsheng, Master Tianmeng, and Fairy Biwen, who entered this place for the first time, all turned to look at Baimei, the first person on the right path. .
"Bai Mei, are you sure this is the blood cave that our Bashu masters have been trying to find for years?"
Master Tianmeng is said to be the reincarnation of a divine monk from the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has profound Buddhist teachings and has ascended to the Western Buddhist Kingdom hundreds of years ago.
In fact, the reason why Master Tianmeng is unwilling to ascend is similar to that of Master Baimei. The reason is that his disciples are incompetent and unable to inherit the great responsibilities, so they can only delay it, hoping to cultivate a leader who will take the lead in the future.
Speaking of which, all the major sects in the world of Shushan tend to have no successors. Even if the sect is as prosperous as Emei, among the hundreds or thousands of disciples, there is still no one who can succeed Baimei Zhenren as the head of Emei.
Dozens of famous spiritual sects such as Emei, Kunlun, Wutai Mountain, Huashan, etc. have wiped out their families and eliminated generations.
It seems as if there is destined to be a gap in this generation.
"Yes, when the Blood Demon True Spirit escaped, I once entered Chi You's blood cave. At that time, it was full of evil power, and the cave was full of filth..." Having said this, Master Baimei looked at the corridors extending in all directions and said: "I miss you We can also feel that these corridors connect famous mountains and rivers. Anyone who hides here can steal the spiritual energy of various sects. If this place is not the location of the blood cave, then where can the blood cave be? "
"But now there is not even a drop of blood in the blood hole. There is only a faint smell of blood and evil spirit. It does not live up to its name!"
Zun Sheng never expected that when he and his team explored the blood cave to confirm whether the blood demon was killed, they discovered a supernatural event. Chi You's blood cave, which was supposed to be full of dirty blood, did not even have a drop of blood.
"If the blood is gone, then it's gone. It's not a bad thing for us."
Fairy Biwen added with a smile.
Biwen Fairy Yan Yingmu, in terms of cultivation time, she and Changmei Zhenren are of the same generation. However, although the two were big bosses at the same time, the difference in strength between them is quite large.
Because Yan Xianzi's physical body was destroyed when she became enlightened, she could only rely on her soul to become enlightened. This was the reason for the gap in strength between her and Changmei.
But it is undeniable that Yan Xianzi is the most skilled user of Taoist magic in the Shushan world.
In fact, it is not difficult for her to restore her physical body. She doesn't even need Master Baimei to use the magical power of creation to restore her body. However, for some unknown reason, Fairy Yan has been waiting.
Perhaps she wanted to directly condense a fairy body by using the fairy light after ascension.
"I'm afraid that someone secretly absorbs the evil power in the blood cave, and another blood demon will be born in the future..." Baimei Zhenren frowned. He actually suspected Cheng Long, but Cheng Long was righteous and didn't look like a blood demon. A big devil.
"Then we have to ask Elder Cheng. He killed the blood demon. The blood cave suddenly dried up. I think he should know the reason." Master Zunsheng respected Cheng Long, but the blood cave suddenly dried up. Questions should be raised. .
After all, Cheng Long was the last person to enter the Blood Cave.
Then it is very likely that he was the one who stole the evil power from Chi You's blood cave.
"Actually, I kind of doubt whether the Blood Demon is dead or not!"
Master Tianmeng's suspicion was not unreasonable. They could not think of any possibility of someone who could empty Chi You's blood cave except the old monster of the Blood Demon Youquan.
As for the Blood Demon Sect in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
Except for Youquan, any other disciple practicing the Blood Demon Sutra who enters Chi You's blood cave will be choked to death by the violent force in the blood cave, unless he adopts the method of Yu Old Man Moving Mountains and swallows Chi You's essence and blood bit by bit.
But the current situation is that Chi You's blood hole is gone, which eliminates the possibility of the younger ants moving to steal Chi You's blood hole!
"I believe in Elder Cheng!"
Of course Master Baimei knew Master Tianmeng's purpose of doubting whether the Blood Demon was killed.
It is suspected that Cheng Long and the Blood Demon are colluding.
But this is obviously impossible. There is no need for Cheng Long to do this. Moreover, if this person can cultivate awe-inspiring righteousness, he must not be a person who has done many evil things.
"I hope Elder Cheng has lived up to your trust."
Master Tianmeng didn't say much when he saw Bai Mei forcefully protect Cheng Long. He just hoped from the bottom of his heart that Bai Mei had not misjudged the person.
"Bai Mei, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Fairy Biwen stretched out her waist nonchalantly, revealing her graceful curves.
If the sky falls, there will be tall men to hold it up. Even if the Blood Demon is not dead, that is what Mount Emei should worry about. The small sect only needs to take care of its own mountain.
"Farewell."
Master Bai Mei cupped his hands.
After watching Tianmeng, Zunsheng, and Biwen leave, he stayed for a while, repeatedly confirming that the throat of Bashu had not been damaged, and that no hidden formations had been left to damage the spiritual veins of Bashu, and then flew away. .
……
Starlight Pavilion.
Since the Blood Demon was exterminated, Cheng Long returned to Emei, and his daily life of cultivating immortals gradually became boring. During the day, he was either studying Taoist scriptures and magic techniques in the library, or playing chess and discussing Taoism with Baimei.
Nightlife is relatively simple.
For several months, two young Taoist monks, Cheng Long and Li Yingqi, only did three things.
Double cultivation, double cultivation, double cultivation.
With his help, Li Yingqi's cultivation improved from the middle stage of Tribulation to the late stage in just a few months.
However, the recent improvement rate has slowly slowed down.
Although Dragon and Phoenix Harmony is a top-level dual cultivation technique, the improvement of cultivation also requires understanding and foundation. Yingqi was the head of Kunlun in his previous life and practiced for nearly a thousand years. He has practiced for another two hundred years in this life. With a profound foundation, he can achieve the goal in just three years. In four months, he was promoted from the early stage of the Yangshen Realm to the late stage of the Overcoming Tribulation Realm.
Next, is the normal improvement effect.
According to Cheng Long's estimate, Li Yingqi still has to work hard for a year or two if he wants to reach the realm of transcending tribulation. This is still an ideal state. If the effect is not ideal, he may have to wait for three to five years.
……
Two years later.
An uninhabited mountain peak near Mount Emei.
Rumble...
The originally clear sky suddenly turned dark, with thunderclouds forming in the sky, all kinds of lightning intertwined, silver snakes scurrying around, and everything for hundreds of miles was covered in darkness.
The top of the lonely mountain.
Li Yingqi was dressed in white, peerless and aloof. She quietly stared at the sky where the thunder disaster was brewing, her eyes filled with fighting spirit to compete with the heaven and earth.
"I didn't expect that in just two and a half years, my junior sister would reach this point. I, my senior brother, am so incompetent!"
Dan Chenzi, who never forgets to wear his helmet wherever he goes, looks at the thunder and lightning a hundred miles away in the Golden Summit of Emei, his brows filled with sadness.
"Your junior sister is under the care of Elder Cheng, who has great hands and eyes. Her cultivation level is getting better every day, so let's stop comparing ourselves and practice hard honestly!" Xuantianzong, who had long hair and shawl, looked at the holy fairy-like figure under the thunder clouds. Women will always have images of their master teaching them how to practice in the past.
To be honest, he really wanted to pursue Li Yingqi and fulfill his wish that he had coveted the master for hundreds of years but could not get it.
However, before the plan started to be implemented two years ago, I heard the sad news that Li Yingqi had moved in with Elder Cheng. Later, he didn't dare to think nonsense.
On the one hand, Cheng Long saved the righteous path of Bashu Mountains, and poaching was very risky. On the other hand, Li Yingqi and his master Gu Yue were not the same person after all.
"Hey, with our qualifications, if we want to break through to transcend tribulation, it will take at least one or two hundred years, and it will take even longer to practice to reach the realm of transcending tribulation." Dan Chenzi sighed.
"What are you afraid of if it takes longer? I'm afraid that you won't even have the hope of a breakthrough..." When Xuantianzong thought about those seniors who were about to run out of life, but could not break through, and could only hide in the barren mountains and wait for death silently, they felt in their hearts. Full of sadness.
Because he can't guarantee that he can cultivate to the level of Li Yingqi.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless monks of good and evil who were stuck in the realm of transcending tribulation and died. Even if they have the ability to practice to the realm of transcending tribulation, there are also not a few monks who die under the thunder tribulation.
There are only a handful of people from any sect who can successfully overcome the calamity and ascend.
"Boom!"
Just when Dan Chenzi and Xuantian Zong were sighing secretly, the first tribulation thunder finally fell on the tribulation scene a hundred miles away. The bucket-thick tribulation thunder seemed to light up the sky, and the world was bright.
Li Yingqi was not afraid at all. He saw a flash of blue light flashing from her body, turning into a semi-arc light shield to protect her body.
Boom!
The calamity thunder fell, and the sound of collision shook the world. Li Yingqi, who stood proudly on the top of the mountain, trembled slightly, and the body-protecting fairy light dimmed.
But she didn't show any fear.
Because...
Before overcoming the tribulation, Cheng Long gave her a gem containing infinite energy for self-defense.
boom!
boom!
A series of calamity thunders fell, and it only took less than half an hour for Li Yingqi to go from being cold and aloof to holding a sky fencing sword and looking solemn.
Boom!
Suddenly, the fifth tribulation thunder formed, and the thunder snake that penetrated the heaven and earth was as dazzling as a bright moon.
"Sky strike!"
Li Yingqi did not defend obediently, and began to choose to take the initiative to attack. The colorful sky fencing swords moved from bottom to top like a line of training, fighting against the thunder that was pouring down.
Bang!
The void exploded, and lightning shot out.
The thunder that had been brewing for a long time turned into wisps of lightning and dissipated in the air.
The ninety-nine tribulations that Li Yingqi crossed were quite powerful. If the power of the next four tribulation thunders did not increase exponentially, then she would definitely be able to successfully overcome the tribulation and ascend.
"Boom..."
While Emei, Wutaishan and other masters from the Bashu sect were chatting and laughing, a thunder was brewing in the sky again. This was a sky thunder that was as white as the scorching sun on the inside and purple on the outside. Far away, Dan Chenzi, Xuantian Zong and others You can all feel a great fear, as if disaster will happen in the next second.
"I hope Yingqi can survive the thunderstorm safely!"
Baimei Zhenren occupies the entire Emei Golden Summit's huge soul, paying close attention to the live broadcast of the tribulation a hundred miles away in real time. Li Yingqi's thunder tribulation has only increased in power compared to his past tribulations.
Perhaps it was because Li Yingqi was supposed to have died, and Tiandao instinctively cleared up this anomaly.
However, if one of the 50 Dao Dao and 49 Tian Yan escapes, it is a glimmer of hope. In the fierce thunder tribulation, it will give those who are tribulation a chance to succeed.
This is the sixth calamity thunder, and there are three more to come!
If you can't even survive this thunderstorm, it's easier to stop resisting later and just take one and die.
"Moon Golden Wheel, go!"
"Return to your master, she needs you even more!"
Noticing that Li Yingqi was severely struck by the sixth calamity thunder, his white dress showed a burnt black color, and he might be seriously injured. The Xuantian Sect, who was standing in a hall in Emei Mountain and watched, decisively cast a spell and sacrificed the town magic weapon of Kunlun Mountain. 'Moon Golden Wheel'.
The freed Moon Gold Wheel suddenly turned into a stream of light, speeding toward the barren mountains a hundred miles away.
With the blessing of the Moon Gold Wheel, the seventh and eighth thunderstorms that followed were all safe and passed through safely.
It wasn't until the last thunderbolt refused to fall, and Li Yingqi, who was desperately trying to accumulate the power of thunder and lightning, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, that he realized the danger and felt a numbing fear in his scalp.
"Yingqi, if you can't resist, use the Mind Stone. Don't be afraid of getting into trouble."
Cheng Long quickly sent a message to Li Yingqi. He didn't want his woman to die in a thunderstorm. As for using the Soul Stone, would it attract the covetousness of the immortals in the sky.
So what's the harm?
At worst, he took Liu Piaopiao and walked away.
"Hmm~~"
Li Yingqi nodded without leaving any trace.
Knowing the origin of the man, she is not too worried about the treasure being targeted by powerful people.
In the Marvel world, even Asgard's Goddess of Death didn't look down on the Infinity Stones. She just gave them a pretty good rating and then walked around to the Eternal Flame to resurrect her old ones.
This incident is enough to show that although the quality of the Infinity Stones is not low, not all of them are of interest to the real powers.
The World-Destroying Black Lotus is different. It is a genuine and top-quality innate spiritual treasure, the companion spiritual treasure of Taoist Luohu. It will cause big trouble as soon as it is born.
"Boom!"
The last purple sky thunder that had been brewing for almost three quarters of an hour fell.
Li Yingqi, knowing that he was outmatched, decisively put away the Moon Golden Wheel and Sky Fencing Sword, and spit out the Soul Gem in his mouth.
Golden light flashed, and a steady stream of golden light poured out crazily, turning into a giant golden cocoon to wrap around Li Yingqi's body.
Zizzi...
The divine thunder landed on the giant golden cocoon, bursting out with a brilliant electric sound.
For a moment, there was only a giant golden cocoon left between heaven and earth, and divine thunder that radiated with lightning and penetrated the heaven and earth.
The divine thunder and the golden light were in a stalemate for a full minute, and then they reluctantly turned into thunder snakes and disappeared into the void...
“Buzz~~”
Receive the fairy light to fall.
Li Yingqi, who put away the Soul Stone, opened his heart and bathed in the soft white light. The injuries on his body were healed instantly. His fair body turned into ice muscles and jade bones under the influence of the fairy light.
At this time, if she gives up resistance, her body will slowly float up to the fairy world.
But seeing the man outside the calamity cloud, Li Yingqi subconsciously resisted and chose to stay in the human world and ascend one day.
In the fairy world of Shushan World, there is no provision for surviving thunder tribulations. Those who become earthly immortals must ascend. Master Baimei and Master Tianmeng are both immortals who have survived thunder tribulations.
They stayed in the human world for hundreds of years and were not expelled by heaven.
Just thinking about coming back after ascending is extremely difficult. (End of chapter)
