Chapter 492: Dharmakaya Realm
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded, then asked, "What about you?"
"I still need to accumulate and settle for a while before I can break through to the late stage of rebirth. Once I break through to the late stage of rebirth, I will have the confidence to overcome the Immortal Infant Tribulation. As long as I overcome the Immortal Infant Tribulation and become an earth immortal, I will be able to gain a foothold in this blessed land of Pingyu Mountain." Qin Ziling replied.
"I'm really looking forward to this day!" Xiao Qing said with anticipation in his eyes.
"Don't worry, in the near future, we will not only gain a firm foothold in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain, but also in the vast and boundless world!" Qin Ziling said.
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded, and looked at Qin Ziling with eyes full of confidence and tenderness.
The days that followed returned to their former peace.
Qin Ziling still focuses on practicing martial arts and the way of the soul every day. The rest of the time he is either contemplating the great truth, or accompanying his family and instructing his disciples.
With the help of the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds, Qin Ziling's martial arts progress was much faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed. Those who had gone out to gain experience and encounter immortal fate came back one after another, but some people would never come back.
Those who died outside were basically Jindan cultivators, but there was also a terrestrial immortal in the Immortal Infant realm, the guardian Qingfeng.
Although he had known for a long time that this was inevitable, Qin Ziling still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable and self-blaming.
As Jian Bailou said, these disciples who came back one after another basically went to the fairyland in the sea near Pingyu Mountain blessed land. This was also the direct reason why some disciples could never come back.
But precisely because of this, these returning disciples all gained something.
Although their gains could not be compared with those of Jian Bailou and the other two, a little bit adds up to a lot. Dozens of disciples went out, and each brought back something, which accumulated to be quite considerable. Moreover, most of the things they brought back were rare and precious items.
With these gains, plus the gains from Qin Ziling's successive killings of earth immortals and Jindan cultivators when he first came to Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land, Wujimen finally accumulated some wealth.
In addition to material gains, those who returned also got to see some of the grand scenes of the outside world through this life-and-death experience. They all gained some experience and realized their own shortcomings.
So after coming back, everyone, like Jian Bailou and the other two, had no plans to go out in the near future. They were all determined to practice in the cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain for a while, comprehend the great Dao, and work hard to improve their cultivation.
There is no time limit for practice.
A year passed quickly.
On this day, it had been nearly three years since Qin Ziling settled in Qingyun Fairy Island, and exactly two and a half years since the last time Tu Liao attacked Qingyun Fairy Island.
"My heavenly tribulation should be approaching!" Xiao Qing said to Qin Ziling.
"The immortal spirit of heaven and earth is strong here, so the changes in the energy of heaven and earth caused by the heavenly tribulation should not spread too far. However, your heavenly tribulation will most likely be a human immortal tribulation, and the commotion it will cause is bound to be quite large. It might even alarm some True Immortals and arouse their suspicion and attention. So to be cautious, you'd better return to Xuanming Continent to transcend the tribulation." Qin Ziling said after pondering for a moment.
"I have this plan too. Tomorrow I will set off back to Xuanming Continent. It's been almost three years since I last saw my family!" Xiao Qing nodded.
The Xiao family was a prominent family in Fangliao County. After Xiao Qing's rise, the Xiao family became even more prosperous. Now, it is considered a wealthy and prominent family in the entire Qin Kingdom.
Xiao Qing left , but no one in the Xiao family followed him. Even Xiao Qing's parents did not choose to leave. Only a few children who had potential followed Xiao Qing out to make a living.
"I'll go back to Xuanming Continent with you." Qin Ziling said.
"What? Are you worried about me?" Xiao Qing asked.
"The ocean is vast, it's always better to be careful." Qin Ziling replied.
The portal to the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier is in the Cave Heaven World. One can only enter and exit the Small Barrier and the Cave Heaven World, but cannot directly enter and exit the Xuanming Continent through the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier.
Therefore, if Xiao Qing wants to go back, he still has to take the sea route.
Xiao Qing's expression didn't change much, but she felt a little sweet in her heart. However, she still shook her head and said, "With my current strength, even if I encounter an earth immortal in the late stage of the infant immortal, they shouldn't be able to stop me if I want to leave. You don't have to worry about me. You should just stay in Qingyun Fairy Island."
"It's okay. Over the past two years, Wuji Sect's disciples have made breakthroughs one after another. There are three more Earth Immortals, seven Human Immortals, and six Golden Core cultivators. Not only that, Teacher Jian and Senior Brother Feng have already surpassed the others and become Earth Immortals in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant Realm. Dharma Protector Qi Yu and Teacher Lai are also Earth Immortals in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant Realm.
Senior Brother Zheng is only a little bit away from passing the Dharmakaya Tribulation, Xia Yan, Bao Yingjun and Sister Zitang are only a little bit away from entering the late stage of rebirth. Cousin Cui, Yuntai, Sister Pastor, Shao E, Xiaoqiang, Xingbao and others are already human immortals. Sishou and Yuan Da are already ghost immortals, and Yuan Er and Xiong Da's tribulation period is not far away.
On the Qingyun Fairy Island side, there is an additional earthly immortal, Yu Shibin, and the strength of the others has also improved, and the overall combat power has increased a lot. I later replaced the Seven Killing Sword Formation with two immortal flying swords to suppress the formation, which greatly increased the power. In addition to the Seven Killing Sword Formation, the power of our Yin Yang Five Elements Formation is also becoming stronger. I later made some arrangements between the two formations. If the two formations are activated together, the formations complement each other and form a whole, which is even more powerful.
Therefore, unless a true immortal comes in person, it is difficult to break through Qingyun Fairy Island. Even if a true immortal comes in person, once the two formations are activated together, as long as Teacher Lai and others hold on and rely on the two formations to fight the enemy, they can hold out for a while. "Qin Ziling said.
Jian Bailou, Feng Ziluo and Zheng Xinghan have made such rapid progress and are at the top of the list. In addition to their own reasons, it is also related to the fact that they have made the greatest contributions and received the most rewards.
Qin Ziling later gave Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo the only two remaining Wuchen Immortal Pills as rewards for their merits, and also gave them some top-grade immortal stones, "Infant-raising Immortal Pills" and other immortal medicines and fruits.
Zheng Xinghan got a lot of Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds.
This Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seed is the most effective for martial arts. Zheng Xinghan is not like Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, who have a very solid foundation, so every step of improvement is difficult.
He had an average foundation and was a late bloomer, but he was able to make rapid progress with the help of the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds, and in a short period of time his realm was close to that of Xiao Qing.
The rapid progress of Xia Yan and other immortals, and the sudden appearance of seven more human immortals, were all directly related to the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds.
"After all, you still don't trust me." Xiao Qing glanced at Qin Ziling with her beautiful eyes.
"I'm worried about you and I can't bear to leave you!" Qin Ziling said softly, gently putting his arms around Xiao Qing's waist.
Xiao Qing's usually clear and calm eyes suddenly became intoxicated, and she leaned softly against Qin Ziling.
…
On that day, Qin Ziling summoned the main disciples, as well as Lian Changfeng and the seven guardians of Qingyun Fairy Island, gave them some instructions, and then quietly left Qingyun Fairy Island with Xiao Qing the next day.
After leaving Qingyun Fairy Island, Qin Ziling summoned the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle.
This Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle was taken from the head of the Taiding Sect. It is a magical flying weapon of the immortal level. It is very fast and can travel over 100,000 miles a day.
However, one needs to use immortal stones or directly use one's own immortal power to activate the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle.
More than two years ago, Qin Ziling crossed the sea. At that time, he had no immortal stones and the immortal power in his body was limited. Even if he had this high-end stuff, he couldn't use it.
Now that he had accumulated some wealth, and wanted to go and come back quickly , he stuffed a medium-grade immortal stone into a special place on the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle.
Six days later.
The sky above an isolated island in the sea near Xuanming Continent was covered with dense calamity clouds, and purple lightning flashed in the clouds.
A woman stood on the isolated island, holding a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, wearing armor that shone with green light.
The spear, shield, and armor were all specially prepared by Qin Ziling in recent years for Xiao Qing to overcome the tribulation.
The power of the last human-immortal calamity was limited. Xiao Qing had experienced the tempering of purple thunder in the small , and had the help of golden thunder calamity liquid. In addition, her own foundation was strong, so she passed the calamity without any danger.
But this time, Xiao Qing's strength has become even stronger, and she has already reached the late stage of the Immortal Infant realm. The thunder-toughening effect of the wind and thunder barrier has been very small, and the effect of the golden thunder liquid on her recovery from injuries has also been much smaller, so more preparations must be made in terms of protection.
Fortunately, the "Five Flavors True Fire" named by Qin Ziling himself is very powerful. Lai Yinuan and others also got a lot of good things from the Immortal Ruins, and they have also robbed a lot of good things in recent years.
Qin Ziling did not hesitate to spend a large amount of precious minerals and "Five Flavors True Fire" to prepare a full set of armor suitable for Xiao Qing.
"boom!"
A dark purple lightning bolt shaped like a dragon or snake broke through the calamity clouds and struck towards Xiao Qing, emitting an aura that could annihilate everything. It was the purple thunder of the underworld that could annihilate human immortals.
Xiao Qing defeated the first bolt of lightning with one shot.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Thunder strikes every once in a while, the intervals between strikes get longer but the power also gets greater.
“It’s indeed the 59th Heavenly Tribulation!”
After seeing Xiao Qing defeat the thirty-sixth heavenly tribulation with one shot, the tribulation clouds in the sky not only did not dissipate, but became thicker, with increasingly terrifying thunder brewing inside. Qin Ziling's expression became solemn.
In the way of Qi training, the golden elixir has 29 heavenly tribulations, the immortal infant has 49 heavenly tribulations, and the true immortal has 69 heavenly tribulations.
Generally speaking, it takes twenty-nine heavenly tribulations to achieve rebirth in martial arts, forty-nine heavenly tribulations in the Dharmakaya realm, and sixty-nine heavenly tribulations in the Cave Heaven realm.
The way of Qi training is Purple Sky Thunder, and the way of martial arts is Purple Sky Thunder of Hell. The latter is more powerful, so it is more difficult for the human immortal calamity to overcome.
Xiao Qing was going through the 59th heavenly tribulation of a human immortal, which was much more powerful than the 49th heavenly tribulation of a normal Dharmakaya realm, and was equivalent to a discounted 69th heavenly tribulation of a True Immortal.
Therefore, once he crosses over, in terms of combat power, Xiao Qing, who is in the early stage of Dharmakaya realm, can be considered a quasi-true immortal.
It is precisely because of this that it is extremely dangerous to survive this heavenly tribulation.
The next day.
Xiao Qing knelt on one knee on the ground stubbornly.
The armor on her body had been completely torn into pieces, and the shield had been destroyed. Only the twisted Qinglong Spear was still supporting her body.
She was covered in wounds and her breath was weak, but an extremely powerful new force was brewing in her body, as if a seed was about to break through the soil and grow into a towering tree.
Xiao Qing waved her hand to stop Qin Ziling who was about to come forward to support her.
He sat cross-legged, took out a dozen drops of golden thunder liquid and swallowed them, then took out a phoenix marrow fire lotus seed and several other healing pills and swallowed them together.
Xiao Qing was able to survive this dangerous catastrophe not only because of the armor, shield, and Qinglong Spear that Qin Ziling spent a lot of money and effort to make for her, but also because of the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds brought back by Jian Bailou and the other two people.
This Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seed contains powerful and pure energy. After Xiao Qing swallows it, it can be quickly transformed into pure Qi and blood strength, allowing her to continue to support herself.
Of course, the golden thunder liquid and other healing elixirs also played some role.
Looking at Xiao Qing sitting cross-legged, his aura was rising little by little.
Qin Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder the strong have to build up their power. The further they go in the heavenly tribulation, the more they compete not only with their own strength and perseverance, but also with their financial resources. If it weren't for the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds that Teacher Jian and the others had found, and if it weren't for the wealth accumulated in the past few years, Xiao Qing would probably have a hard time getting through this level!
Feeling emotional, Qin Ziling looked up at the sky again.
My immortal baby tribulation is coming soon!
Two days later, Xiao Qing fully recovered.
Standing on the isolated island, the sea breeze blew her hair, making her look more straight, slender and heroic.
A powerful aura emanated from her, and even Qin Ziling felt a little palpitated.
"Now I need to use all my strength to block your attack." Qin Ziling walked forward, looked at Xiao Qing and smiled.
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "We should go to Xuanming Continent to visit some relatives and friends, and we should also take the things that Teacher Lai, Guardian Qi Yu and others entrusted to us back to their sects."
"Okay!" Qin Ziling smiled and nodded, then he and Xiao Qing flew away from the isolated island together.
After a brief stay of two days in Xuanming Continent and leaving some resources to the major sects and the Qin family, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing set off.
On the way back, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing still rode on the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle.
Gazing at the vast ocean, he recalled that more than two years ago, the two of them were flying in the sky on a sixth-grade exotic beast. The future was uncertain and their hearts were uneasy. Now they set out again. Not only did they have a place to stay and recuperate on the other side, but their current strength had also changed greatly.
Especially Xiao Qing, whose combat power is now at the level of a quasi-true immortal. With the combined efforts of the two, they would not be afraid at all even if they met a true immortal.
In a blink of an eye, the two had been flying over the sea for four days.
"In two days, we will be able to reach Qingyun Fairy Island. I wonder how Xia Yan and the others are doing now?" Xiao Qing said as he stood at the bow of the Chuantian Fairy Shuttle, gazing into the distance in the direction of Qingyun Fairy Island.
"You've only been away for more than ten days, but from the looks of you, you seem to be eager to go home." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"I don't know why, but I seem to feel more at home on Qingyun Fairy Island. Perhaps it is a better place for us," Xiao Qing said.
Qin Ziling smiled and was about to speak when suddenly huge waves rose up in the sea in the distance.
There was a golden chariot above the huge waves, and pulling the chariot were nine tiger sharks as big as mountains.
