Chapter 455: Twenty-nine Heavenly Tribulations
"So you already had a plan. I feel relieved then." Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"Don't worry, with a lovely wife like you around, I will definitely cherish my life." Qin Ziling said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling, then blushed slightly and lowered her head without saying anything.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this. He raised his hand and a cloud of mist fell, completely covering the two of them. Another soul escaped and transformed the scene of the heavenly palace into the space covered by the mist.
Xiao Qing looked at the radiant palaces half-hidden in the clouds, which looked like the legendary heavenly palaces, and could not help but marvel at them.
But soon, Xiao Qing felt something was wrong. She blushed and twisted her body, trying to get rid of Qin Ziling's clutches, but there was no way to escape!
…
Early in the morning, Qin Ziling walked out of the Qiankun Cave Heaven, while Xiao Qing stepped into the Chilong Blood River that meandered through the cave world, and began to further refine the acquired qi, blood and bone marrow into the innate qi, blood and true essence.
After leaving the Qiankun Cave Heaven, Qin Ziling found nine green hills about thirty to fifty feet high on some islands in Yunluo Lake. Then he used his magical powers to pull up the hills one by one, moved them into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, and placed them along the winding Chilong Blood River.
That little green mountain may not seem noticeable at all in the outside world, but it is completely different in the cave world.
This cave world is only in its infancy now, with limited space. The mountains fall down one after another, reaching into the sky, as if they are supporting the sky.
Clouds and mist lingered halfway up the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain the Chilong Blood River flowed slowly. A trickle of river water seeped into the mountain along the river bank, giving the peaks a hint of spiritual energy. At first glance, it felt like a fairyland.
"Good, good. I will order people to build a few more palaces and pavilions later, and I will move them into this cave. In this way, except that the space is still a little small, it really feels like a paradise."
Qin Ziling was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He looked at the section of the Chilong Blood River that was completely blocked by a green mountain. He saw Xiao Qing practicing in it. A green dragon phantom was hovering in the sky, becoming more and more real, emitting powerful strength and rich vitality. He nodded with joy, and then left the cave again.
After leaving the cave, Qin Ziling gave orders.
Soon, Zheng Xinghan, Mu Xuan, Lu Taiqiang, Shen Xiujing, Yu Yan, Bao Yingjun, Yuntai, Qu Chenlong, Shao E, Liu Xiaoqiang, Shi Hu, Shi Long, Xiao Chengfang, Fu Guiquan, Xia Donglin, Lan Qingxia, Xia Yan, Cui Shanhe, Qin Xingbao, Qin Xingpeng and twenty other people arrived at the Wuji Palace one after another.
Among these twenty people, the oldest ones, Zheng Xinghan, Cui Shanhe and Qu Chenlong, are just in their forties. They can be said to be in their prime. Moreover, most of them have reached the grandmaster level in martial arts, and some have even started to cultivate their hearts. They are the most promising talents in Wuji Sect to become martial saints or even human immortals.
After Qin Ziling and twenty other people arrived, they were all moved into the Qiankun Cave Heaven.
The affairs outside are temporarily handled by Cui Baiming, Bai Yulieyang, Zuo Le and other masters of the older generation.
The twenty people who were moved into the Qiankun Cave were naturally shocked and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
When they came to their senses, they looked at Qin Ziling as if he were a god, full of awe.
After Qin Ziling ordered everyone to enter the Chilong Blood River to practice, he left a soul inside to protect the law, and then returned to the Wuji Palace.
After returning to the Wuji Grand Palace, Qin Ziling summoned the masters of the Qi Refining lineage and distributed some high-quality magic crystal stones and magic blood crystals to them.
A few days later, Qin Zitang and Qin Zaixin came together.
After Qin Zitang absorbed and refined the dragon blood in the Qin family's dragon pool, he has now become a grandmaster.
Qin Ziling first taught the two of them the "Secret Method of Refining Marrow with the Thunder Sound of Dragon and Tiger", and then moved them into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, placing them next to the Lei Xun giant stone formation, using thunder and lightning to comprehend the "Secret Method of Refining Marrow with the Thunder Sound of Dragon and Tiger".
As for whether one can comprehend it or not, it depends on one's talent and understanding.
The same is true for the martial arts path that Zheng Xinghan and others will take in the future.
Another twenty days passed.
In the Tianyan Mountains, on top of a sword-like peak, dark clouds were densely covered. Lightning and thunder were moving like dragons and snakes in the clouds, and the terrifying might of heaven enveloped the earth.
On the top of the mountain, Lai Yinuan stood holding a sword.
On a mountain to the east of where Lai Yinuan was standing, stood the Tianyan Sect’s supreme elder, sect master, and several elders. Qin Ziling and Jian Bailou were also present.
"boom!"
There was a loud thunder, and a purple lightning bolt like a winding and thick dragon and snake struck Lai Yinuan on the head.
"Is this the twenty-ninth heavenly tribulation? The power of the first thunder is very ordinary!" Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
The heavenly tribulation of a Jindan cultivator is also called the twenty-nine heavenly tribulation, twenty-nine-eight, a total of eighteen thunders. The power of each thunder is stronger than the other. If one can survive it, he will form a Jindan. If not, he will generally die.
"Come on!" Lai Yi Nuan saw the thunder striking down, his hair and beard stood up, he shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand soared into the sky, bursting out with dazzling golden light, and turned into a giant sword.
Chop it down with a sword.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the first ray of lightning was shattered and turned into tiny points of electric light and disappeared.
However, just as the first bolt of lightning was broken, a second, even thicker and brighter bolt of lightning struck down.
Lai Yi Nuan still cut it with one sword.
Thunder came one after another.
At the beginning, everyone was relatively calm, but later on, not only did the elders and the leader of Jian Bailou and Tianyan Sect turn slightly pale and have cold sweat on their foreheads, but even the expressions of the two supreme elders became extremely solemn.
Only Qin Ziling remained calm.
He had used Purple Thunder to strike Lai Yi Nuan many times in the past few days, and it was very powerful, so he knew his teacher's background very well.
Sure enough, Lai Yinuan survived the heavenly tribulation without any danger, and he didn't even have to use the golden thunder tribulation liquid that he had secretly prepared.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lai!" When the elders saw Lai Yiran survive the heavenly tribulation, they all came forward to congratulate him. They were happy and excited, but also had an indescribable complex feeling.
Who could have thought that Lai Yinuan, who had once fallen from a great height to the bottom of the valley, could actually climb back up again, soar into the sky, and suddenly become the ancestor of the Golden Elixir?
"From now on, you will be called the Supreme Elder!" Huangfu Ningxue said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed to Lai Yi Nuan again, and Shang Pu looked at this scene with a somewhat subtle expression.
Not long ago, he had scolded Lai Yinuan in a condescending manner, but now he turned around and became a Jindan ancestor who was on equal footing with him.
"Senior Brother Lai, now that you have become a Jindan cultivator, do you think we should hold a Jindan Banquet?" Mei Tianxing stepped forward and asked.
Mei Tianxing is the sect leader, and his status is equal to that of the supreme elder.
Before Lai Yinuan's cultivation level fell, he was recognized as the best master among the elders of Tianyan Sect, so his peers called him "senior brother" out of respect.
Mei Tianxing was not the sect leader at that time, and he also called Lai Yinuan "senior brother". Now he continues to use the title of senior brother, which shows both respect and closeness.
"Our Tianyan Sect has produced a Jindan cultivator. That is a huge event. We have to hold a banquet and invite fellow practitioners from all sects to come and watch the ceremony!" Ruan Qiang said with a flushed face before Lai Yinuan could answer.
He and Lai Yinuan are disciples of the same master, true brothers from the same school, and they have a deep relationship.
Now that Lai Yinuan has become a Jindan cultivator, the one who is most happy and feels most proud is Ruan Qiang.
"Let's just forget it given the current situation." Lai Yi Nuan glared at Ruan Qiang, then waved his hand.
"Now that Zhuang Yuanmo has become the ancestor of the Immortal Infant, given your relationship with him, it would be safer not to hold the Golden Elixir Banquet." Shang Pu nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that my teacher had a conflict with Zhuang Yuanmo?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly when he heard this.
"It's not a conflict. We just had a fight and I'm willing to accept the defeat." Lai Yi Nuan waved his hand.
"What do you mean by accepting defeat? We were obviously the first to discover the small magic crystal stone vein, and it's an uninhabited island on the sea. Why did Taiding Sect interfere and insist on competing with us to decide the ownership? That would have been fine, as we all agreed to stop at a certain point, but Zhuang Yuanmo used a shady and ruthless move and broke your Dantian. If it weren't for Ziling..." Ruan Qiang said indignantly.
"Enough! It's not appropriate to talk about this now!" Shang Pu waved his hand to interrupt.
"Zhuang Yuanmo is now the ancestor of the Immortal Infant. It is indeed not appropriate to talk about this matter now. Don't mention it again in the future. Otherwise, if this gets to his ears, who knows what kind of disaster will be caused!" Huangfu Ningxue sighed softly.
"Is there no news from Zhuang Yuanmo yet?" Qin Ziling asked calmly, as if he was not angry at all because of Ruan Qiang's words.
"It is said that after he passed the Immortal Infant Tribulation, he went into seclusion to practice, and no one knows when he will come out. But one thing is certain, once he comes out, the situation in Xuanming Continent will change drastically." Huangfu Ningxue replied.
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally, then glanced at Mei Tianxing and the three great Xuanshi elders, and said calmly: "The sect master and the three elders just witnessed my teacher going through the golden elixir tribulation, so they should have some insights. How about we strike while the iron is hot today?"
Mei Tianxing and the three great Xuan Master elders were shocked when they heard this, and asked with surprise in their eyes: "What does Sect Leader Qin mean?"
"That's right. I will send down the purple thunder now to help you." Qin Ziling said.
"Thank you, Master Qin!" Mei Tianxing and the three great Xuan master elders were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.
Just now, they had watched the golden elixir tribulation and indeed had gained some insights. If a few purple thunderbolts could be sent down at this time so that they could experience it for themselves, the effect would definitely be excellent.
"Ruan Qiang, Jianmei, the two of you go out and pass the orders that no one is allowed to enter Dayan Peak without permission!" Huangfu Ningxue said in a deep voice.
"Disciple obeys your command!" The two men looked stern, bowed and retreated.
Qin Ziling glanced at Huangfu Ningxue, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
