Spirit insects are inherently weak, and if they reverse the true spirit, they are not tolerated by heaven.
Xiaobai is still a cup spirit made from thousands of spiritual insects refining Gu. The power in his body is even more complex and powerful. It is condensed from the remaining souls and wills of many phantom demon butterfly insects. Such a being, when it comes to overcoming the tribulation, the power of the heavenly tribulation that it must face must be extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary monks.
The reason why Xiaobai was able to successfully survive the thunder tribulation of transformation was because of the help of the tribulation-transmitting spirit treasure that he refined.
However, the Thunder Tribulation of Transformation is just a threshold on its path of cultivation, and the real challenge is yet to come. In particular, the intricate forces within its body are both the source of its strength and a hidden danger on its path of cultivation. If it cannot be properly controlled, these forces may backfire at any time and drag it into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Now, it is about to face the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation,
Different from the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is one of the most vast and severe heavenly tribulations in the world. It is not only the ultimate test of a living being’s cultivation and strength, but also the ultimate challenge to its soul essence and willpower. .
The thunder of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is no longer a simple power of thunder and lightning, but the purest and most pure power that contains the laws of heaven and earth and the will of the great road. It can judge and purify the creatures who have transcended the tribulation, strip and reshape them. , until it is perfect and transcendent, transforming from the ordinary into the true.
For a Gu Ling like Xiaobai, it is almost impossible to survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
The desperate situation faced by Xiaobai made Li Mu feel mixed in his heart. In front of the laws of heaven, his personal power seemed so insignificant. Even if he had the ability to refine Taoist tools and Shangbu high-level magic circles, he still could not find them. To enable Xiaobai to survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation safely.
Next to the spiritual field, there is a lonely stone house with bright lights. Li Mu is sitting alone in his study. The surrounding bookshelves are filled with yellowed ancient books, various ancient leather scrolls, and blue jade slips, most of which are related to the true spirit. Records related to thunder tribulation, formations, and spiritual insects.
After countless days and nights of hard study and research, Li Mu found several ways to protect Xiaobai from the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
The first type of backup plan is called "Ling Yuan Differentiation·Duration of Life". Li Mu can use his deep understanding of weapon refining and talismans to try to subtly differentiate the complex power in Xiao Bai's body. Create multiple insect shadow clones that are relatively independent but interdependent.
These insect shadow clones will carry part of Xiaobai's strength and will, and face the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation together. When the insect shadow clone cannot withstand the thunder tribulation, another insect shadow clone can quickly take over, achieving a seamless connection of power, thereby greatly increasing the possibility of Xiaobai surviving the thunder tribulation. In addition, this differentiation can also reduce Xiaobai's body's perceived pressure on thunder tribulation to a certain extent, allowing him to seek vitality in a more awake state.
However, this method still treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although Xiaobai’s soul is powerful, it is not a problem to refine polymorphic insect shadow clones for him. However, the real problem is that although each insect shadow clone can carry some Strength, the last few waves of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation will eventually test the body. Without experiencing the previous waves of Thunder Tribulation, Xiaobai will still be unable to complete the extreme test of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
The second back-up plan is the "Tianji Concealment·Escape Talisman Formation". Li Mu knew very well that the terrifying thing about the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation was that it could accurately locate the aura and location of the person who was overcoming the tribulation. Therefore, a set of escape talisman arrays was carefully designed. This array can be activated at critical moments to hide Xiaobai and the space around him from the sky, making it impossible for Lei Jie to accurately capture his traces. The Escape Talisman Array can not only interfere with the perception of Heavenly Dao, but also distort time and space in a small area, creating a short-term haven for Xiaobai, allowing him to recover his strength during the thunder tribulation and look for opportunities to break through.
However, this method can only serve as a transitional means to overcome the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. Xiaobai will eventually have to accept the test of the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, and the possibility of failing to overcome the Tribulation is still low.
The third back-up plan, "cut off spiritual resources and return to true origin", Li Mu realized that it was extremely difficult for Xiaobai to survive the true spiritual thunder tribulation, so he cut off his foundation and allowed Xiaobai to completely stay in Sixth-level transformation, completely giving up the chance to survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
However, the process of cutting off the roots will be extremely painful and dangerous. A little carelessness may cause Xiaobai's soul to fly away. Even if Li Mu is willing, Xiaobai probably won't be willing.
After careful consideration, Li Mu realized that this seemingly safe "backup" was actually the biggest betrayal of Xiaobai's desire for life. Although Xiaobai is a Gu insect spirit, like other creatures, he longs to break through the limits of life and pursue a higher level. If it is deprived of the opportunity to challenge the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation for the sake of safety, this will not only be a disservice to Xiaobai's efforts. Denial is a blasphemy against the meaning of life.
Li Mu immediately gave up this idea and thought about Xiaobai's back-up plan for failing to overcome the tribulation.
Li Mu found a secret technique called "Soul Transferring Reincarnation" in an ancient secret book. This technique is not to directly fight against the calamity, but to preserve the soul when the creature is facing a desperate situation and guide it into another body, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge of the calamity, until the time is right, and then looking for an opportunity to be reborn.
Xiaobai's soul is powerful, feeds on souls, and is proficient in soul arts. Using this secret technique is not a problem in itself.
However, in fact, the secret of "soul transfer and reincarnation" is The conditions for performing the technique are extremely harsh, requiring extremely precious materials and complex rituals, and the success rate is extremely low. If you are not careful, your soul may be lost in nothingness forever.
But even so, Li Mu decided to give it a try. He couldn't just watch Xiaobai disappear under the thunder.
It just so happens that Li Mu has a high-level spiritual object on hand, which is very suitable for Xiaobai to use. Maybe Xiaobai can take this opportunity to be a blessing in disguise, and his life can be continued in another dimension, and he may even obtain a more powerful soul body.
Li Mu took out the spirit disk, which contained an eighth-level corpse imprisoned. Under the innate magical power of identifying all spirits, its attributes were clearly displayed in front of him.
[Nine Nether Kun Whale Remains]
[Level: Eighth-Level Overlord Remains]
[Characteristics: Nether Body, Nether Resonance, Whale Swallows Everything, Divine Soul Sleeps , Netherworld Wings,...]
[Status: Fallen under the catastrophe, although the body is destroyed, the soul remains. 】
[After thousands of years, the whale bones encountered the catastrophe of annihilation in the Nine Nether Abyss. The whale bones contained the power of the Netherworld, and slowly condensed the essence of the Netherworld. In the past, the Nine Nether Kun Whales, as the supreme overlord of the abyss, went through endless years of practice, swallowing There are countless rare treasures in the depths of the Netherworld, and a trace of the blood of the ancient Kunpeng is fused into the bloodline, making it as powerful as the top of the Nine Netherworld. While trying to break through to a higher realm, he unfortunately encountered the double thunder disaster of the Nine Heavens and Netherworld. Although his physical body was severely damaged and disintegrated, his spiritual will was tenacious and unyielding. With the tenacity of whale bones and the power of the abyss, he maintained a ray of immortality. The soul, waiting for the right time and place, attempts to reshape the body and reproduce the power of the Kun Whale. 】
Li Mu originally planned to refine this eighth-level overlord corpse into a ship for future exploration outside the territory. Now that Xiaobai is about to cross the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, this object is suitable for Xiaobai to become. The back-up plan for failure in overcoming the tribulation.
Li Mu stared at the spiritual disk in front of him, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
Xiao Bai swallowed too many high-level souls. The high-level souls not only made its soul power more powerful, but also accelerated its speed of passing through the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
Li Mu quickly adjusted his plan and used the remains of the Nine Nether Kun Whales for Xiao Bai’s secret technique of "soul transfer and reincarnation". As the overlord of the abyss, the Nine Nether Kun Whales’ bones contained the power of the netherworld and Xiaobai's powerful soul has a natural compatibility, and it is very likely to become the best refuge for Xiaobai's soul.
Li Mu disappeared in a flash and entered the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion. He immediately took out a demon-sealing array card and cast a spell to form a large demon-sealing array.
Then, Li Mu cast a spell to unlock the spirit bundle and released the corpse of the eighth-order Nine Nether Kun Whale from the spirit bundle.
The next moment, the corpse of the eighth-order Nine Nether Kun Whale enlarged rapidly, and its body turned into a mountain nearly a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. "Boom!" There was a shocking loud noise, and the huge corpse crashed to the ground, causing dust to fly around. A terrifying and deep netherworld breath instantly filled the air, and the entire treasure house trembled. The huge body of the Nine Nether Kun Whale , even though it has lost its vitality, it still exudes a heart-stopping pressure. On top of its whale bones, the power of the netherworld lingers, and its power is shocking.
Li Mu looked solemn, and quickly formed seals with his hands. Complex runes jumped on his fingertips, and finally turned into rays of light, submerged into the demon-sealing array cards, and followed by With the formation card activated, the entire space began to distort, and a huge formation slowly took shape, covering the corpse of the Nine Nether Kun Whale.
Baofu Weapon Spirit - Colorful Dragon was alarmed by the huge movement. It immediately gathered its body and appeared next to Li Mu.
“Master, what are you doing!”
The colorful dragon looked at the behemoth in front of him and the power of the Nine Netherworld that polluted the space, and asked Li Mu in surprise.
"You came just in time, help me suppress this corpse!" Li Mu glanced at the colorful dragon and explained: "Although this Nine Nether Kun Whale has died, the power of the netherworld contained in its whale bones is as strong as Xiaobai's soul is very compatible, and I want to use this secret technique of 'soul transfer' to find a chance for Xiaobai."
"That's it, master, don't worry, I will give you my full help."
Upon hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in the eyes of the colorful dragon, and then it turned into a stream of light, surrounding the corpse of the Nine Nether Kun Whale, releasing the powerful spiritual power of the five elements, forming a delicate balance with the power of the Netherworld, and preventing the power of the Nine Netherworld from overflowing.
Seeing this, Li Mu was determined and summoned Xiaobai out of the Yulingbracelet.
Xiaobai revealed his body, and he was sleepy. He was startled when he saw the huge creature in front of him. Then, he was attracted by the remnant soul of the kun whale hidden in the corpse. The boss's eyes were wide open, full of surprise and greed.
Xiao Bai flew towards the Kun Whale's corpse. The next moment, a big hand stopped it in time.
Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at Xiaobai, his eyes full of love for Xiaobai, and stopped him: "Xiaobai, don't worry, although this Nine Nether Kun Whale has died, its remaining soul and Netherworld are still alive." The power is not trivial, and should not be acted upon rashly.”
Hearing this, Xiaobai calmed down his eagerness, but the curiosity and desire in his eyes remained unabated. He looked at Li Mu in confusion, as if asking what he wanted him to do.
"I am going to use this thing as your back-up to overcome the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. If you separate a part of your soul, I will help you refine it." Li Mu looked at Xiaobai and said solemnly: " Xiaobai, you are not far away from surviving the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, and the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is extremely dangerous for you. Therefore, I decided to use the bones of the Nine Nether Kun Whales to create another soul transfer method for you. Just in case."
"Ji! Master, won't you let me eat it?" Xiaobai said aggrievedly.
"You little snacker! Don't think about eating it. This thing is prepared for you to survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation!"
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but laugh and cursed, and then, patiently Di explained to Xiaobai the key points and uses of the secret technique of 'soul transfer and reincarnation'.
"The powerful netherworld power contained in this Nine Nether Kun whale corpse is not exactly the same as the attributes of your soul, but after being reconciled with a special secret method, it can become another refuge for your soul. Wait for you to cross the true spiritual thunder. The calamity is too much for your body to bear. As long as you activate the secret technique in this whale bone, your soul can be transferred here instantly to avoid the direct bombardment of the thunder calamity."
"Under the protection of this whale carcass. , your soul can not only be protected from harm, but can also use the characteristics of the power of the netherworld to practice in the future." When Li Mu said this, a look of expectation flashed in his eyes: "Next, I will guide you and transfer part of your soul. Refining this whale carcass. In this way, even if you encounter something unexpected during a thunderstorm, a trace of your soul can be preserved under the protection of this whale bone, waiting for the opportunity to be reborn in the future."
Xiao Bai. He listened with rapt attention, his dark eyes shining with excitement and curiosity.
"Ji! Master, I understand!" Xiaobai nodded his little head and suddenly realized.
Seeing this, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then began to instruct Xiaobai in detail on how to separate the soul, and at the same time use the soul-controlling magical power - Soul Sharing Technique, and teach Xiaobai the secret method of controlling the fusion of the soul and the whale bone.
Next, Li Mu, with the cooperation of the Baofu Artifact Spirit, refined the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse.
The colorful dragon hovers in the sky, spitting out circles of colorful spiritual light from time to time. These halos are intertwined with the netherworld power of the Nine Nether Kun Whales, forming a strange balance.
Li Mu stood in the center, constantly forming seals with his hands. A Taoist seal contained deep spiritual power and exquisite laws, guiding the part of Xiaobai's separated soul to swallow and merge into the Nine Nether Kunjing. Corpses.
......
A few months passed by in a blink of an eye, and Xiaobai ushered in a crucial moment in his cultivation career - the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
On this day, the situation above the Tribulation Platform in the back mountain of Qixuan Sect was changing. Dark clouds were gathering, lightning flashed, and the colors of the heaven and earth changed.
Li Mu stood on the edge of the tribulation platform, looking at Xiaobai who was about to undergo the test, with both worry and expectation in his heart.
As the first thunder light in the sky pierced the darkness, the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation officially began. The thunder light roared like a giant dragon and struck Xiaobai with destructive power. Xiaobai's petite body looked extremely small under the tribulation thunder. It released the tribulation thunder ball and turned it into a bright body-protecting light shield, which fiercely clashed with the thunder.
However, most of the elders watching the ceremony frowned and looked worried.
"Sect Master, the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is too fierce and fierce. I'm afraid it will be a disaster for your insect master to survive this calamity!" Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and said worriedly.
"The True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is the ultimate test of a living being's will and cultivation! It's not easy to survive this calamity!" Qin Wentong nodded in agreement, unable to hide the worry in his voice.
Looking at the terrifying thunder clouds above his head and the terrifying power of thunder, Li Mu responded silently. How could he not know the dangers involved? However, he had done everything he could for Xiao Bai, and now he could only wait for the result. . (End of this chapter)
