Chapter 539: Immortals
A few days later, a layer of strong winds appeared over the sea near Xuanming Continent.
The gale was cold and sharp as a knife, whistling across the sky and everywhere.
Qin Ziling sat cross-legged on the Gangfeng layer.
The space between his eyebrows was like a whirlpool of quicksand, spinning continuously, and gradually seemed to collapse, revealing the scene underneath the whirlpool.
It was a vast space.
White clouds were floating, and among the clouds there was a palace shining brightly with golden light. In that palace shining brightly with golden light, a man was sitting upright.
The man was also shining with golden light as he sat cross-legged there, as if he had become one with the world. The sky was him, and he was the sky.
Majestic and majestic.
At this moment, Qin Ziling's Niwan Palace opened wide!
I don’t know when it got dark.
The gale became more and more violent.
The terrifying aura of divine power descended upon people, directly targeting their souls and minds, making them tremble and afraid to resist.
The golden body of the soul sitting in the Niwan Palace suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes shone with golden light like pillars, revealing a powerful majesty, resisting the terrifying aura of divine power.
Soon, God seemed to be angry.
A purple lightning with purple flames struck down from the sky.
Qin Ziling's pupils shrank slightly, knowing that this was the thunder tribulation he would face next.
Purple Mansion Divine Thunder!
The Purple Palace Divine Thunder did not hit Qin Ziling's body, but passed through the vortex between his eyebrows and directly into the Niwan Palace.
Suddenly, above the Niwan Palace where white clouds were floating, there was thunder and lightning in the sky.
Purple lightning bolts came down with flames.
The white clouds were instantly split apart by thunder, and then purple fire ignited the white clouds.
In the blink of an eye, the white clouds disappeared, leaving only a very tiny, undetectable trace of energy with a very pure and masculine aura floating in the Niwan Palace.
“Boom! Boom!”
After the Purple Palace Divine Thunder blew up and burned the white clouds, it then struck down at the palace that was emitting brilliant golden light.
At this time, divine soldiers and generals rushed out of the palace and charged towards the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder in a mighty manner.
The divine weapons and generals were constantly defeated by the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder, and were transformed into extremely fine and undetectable energies with a very pure and masculine aura, which were then integrated into the golden body of the divine soul.
The Purple Mansion Divine Thunders struck down one after another.
Gradually, no more divine soldiers and generals came out of the palace.
The palace quickly fell apart under the bombardment of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder and disappeared without a trace.
Between heaven and earth, only the golden body of the soul was left sitting cross-legged in the void.
The Purple Mansion Divine Thunders continued to descend one after another, and purple fires scattered, igniting the entire Niwan Palace.
The golden body of the soul sat cross-legged in the blazing purple sea of fire. The golden light on its body was like wax melting and dripping continuously under the burning flames. The thunder struck the golden body of the soul, causing the golden light to dissipate and disappear.
The golden body of the soul was shrinking, but the golden color became more solid and pure, as if it was about to turn from illusion into reality.
There were ten divine calamities, and each time there were forty-nine purple mansion divine thunders.
It means that the number of Dayan is fifty, and forty-nine of them are used. The missing one is the only chance of survival given by God to the cultivators.
One can imagine how dangerous the calamity of the gods is.
Over countless years, the number of people who have embarked on the path of the spirit and soul has been extremely small, and the number of people who have successfully survived ten tribulations and become celestial immortals is even smaller.
The power of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder is getting stronger and stronger.
The yin impurities in the soul are becoming less and less, and the golden body of the soul is becoming smaller and smaller, emitting a trace of pure yang power.
Time passes quietly.
The forty-seventh Purple Mansion Divine Thunder retreated, and the forty-eighth Purple Mansion Divine Thunder was brewing in the sky, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
At this time, Qin Ziling's golden body of soul was only three inches in size.
"Qin boy, now it's my turn! There are fifty great ways, and the number of Heaven's evolution is forty-nine. The Heaven's Path only leaves a glimmer of hope, and it is extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, spiritual cultivators, no matter how gifted they are, have almost always relied on external objects to survive. It's already very remarkable that you have made it to the forty-seventh path. Leave the rest to me. If you can't hold on, then everything will be gone."
A piece of debris floated in the sea of fire at some point, and the shadow of a fire dragon appeared in the debris.
“If there are really only forty-nine immortal tribulations, then I should be able to withstand it. There is no need to trouble you, senior.” The golden body of the soul said with a slight smile.
After saying this, suddenly a light rain fell in the Niwan Palace world.
The blood-red drizzle was tinged with a little bit of rosy clouds, as if blood-red rain was falling from the sky.
The drizzle fell and gradually extinguished the purple flames, while mist rose up.
The energy contained in the mist is even purer.
The Three Inch Golden Soul Body opened its mouth and sucked in suddenly. Suddenly, the fog rolled and gathered, and was actually sucked away by the Three Inch Golden Soul Body like a whale sucking water.
The three-inch golden body of the soul was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it once again emitted thousands of feet of golden light.
"The innate blood and energy, as well as the immortal power with the attributes of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, are pouring down like rain! You have opened up the channel between heaven, earth and man, and you have even glimpsed the true meaning of the Yin Yang and the Five Elements!"
In the vast void world of the fragments of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Hood, the fire dragon's single eye, which was half-closed and seemed to never wake up, suddenly opened wide, revealing a look of shock.
"Is there a problem with this?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course not, that's good!" The fire dragon 's single eye slowly half-closed again, looking sleepy, but a hint of shock and thought flashed in the depths of the single eye from time to time, and no one knew what it was thinking.
Qin Ziling smiled slightly when he saw this and ignored the fire dragon.
“Boom!”
The forty-eighth Purple Mansion Divine Thunder struck down.
The golden body of the soul kept cracking and shrinking, as if it would fall apart at any time.
However, Qin Ziling just maintained his consciousness as blood-red rain continued to fall, nourishing and replenishing his soul and golden body which seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any time.
After an unknown amount of time, the forty-eighth Purple Mansion Divine Thunder disappeared.
The golden body of the soul got a respite, and the blood-colored rain that had been cleansed by the purple fire and divine thunder was transformed into the power of the soul, which continuously strengthened the golden body of the soul.
The forty-ninth Purple Mansion Divine Thunder descended.
With his strong and firm will, and the endless supply of blood, energy, and immortal power that was constantly replenished through the channel between heaven, earth, and man, Qin Ziling finally got through it safely.
The forty-ninth purple palace divine thunder disappeared, and the divine power pressing on Qin Ziling's head also disappeared.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that God would suddenly change his mind halfway through as he did in the past and send down the 50th Purple Mansion Divine Thunder. According to the Fire Dragon, that thunder was the only chance of survival for the cultivator. If it was sent down, it would mean that the last ray of hope would be taken away.
If God is determined to take away his last chance of survival, Qin Ziling doesn't think he can escape with his current strength.
When Qin Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, a very mysterious energy descended like golden light and continuously penetrated into his soul.
As these strands of extremely mysterious golden energy sank into his soul, not only did his soul grow rapidly, but many more mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth appeared in Qin Ziling's mind. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have become a part of these laws of heaven and earth, and that feeling was truly indescribably mysterious.
After a long time, the golden energy that fell from the sky disappeared.
At this time, Qin Ziling's soul was still the same size as before, but it gave people a more substantial feeling.
The same is true of the increasingly vast Niwan Palace, the floating white clouds, and the palace shining with thousands of feet of golden light, as if they were real.
The fire dragon felt Qin Ziling's changes, and a trace of joy flashed through his one eye. He said, "After going through ten immortal tribulations, the immortal will be promoted to a celestial immortal. Celestial immortals, what is heaven? It is the great way and the law. So once you become a celestial immortal, you can speak according to the law, you can enforce the law on behalf of heaven, and truly be above all living beings.
The immortal is the preparatory stage for the celestial immortal, so the immortal is a process of constantly comprehending the laws of heaven and earth and integrating the laws of heaven and earth. Every time one crosses the calamity, it is a process of comprehending and integrating. This kind of comprehending and integrating directly points to the consciousness of the human soul, or it can be said to be a direct communication between heaven and man, which is impossible for earthly immortals and human immortals to have.
Therefore, spiritual cultivators have a natural advantage over earthly and human immortals in terms of understanding the Great Dao. Of course, spiritual cultivators also have their weaknesses. Getting started is extremely difficult, and practicing and overcoming tribulations are even more dangerous. For someone like you, if you don’t open up the channel between heaven, earth, and man, and have a solid foundation in martial arts and Qi training, even if your soul has cultivated a trace of pure Yang power, it is impossible for you to survive the tribulation of the immortals.”
"Then who can survive the calamity of the gods?" Qin Ziling frowned.
"Over countless years and countless spiritual practitioners, there will always be a few who are like evildoers or have great opportunities. For example, you are both like an evildoer and have great opportunities.
At such a young age and at the mere Manifestation Sage realm, he has actually opened up the channels between heaven, earth and man. This is definitely a monstrous figure, at least I have never seen one.
And you got this magic weapon and awakened me. Even if you don't get through the channel between heaven, earth and man, with my help, you can still survive the catastrophe. This is a great opportunity." Fire Dragon replied.
Qin Ziling actually agreed that it was a great opportunity. He had had good opportunities along the way, especially accidentally obtaining the fragment of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, which was a great opportunity.
However, Qin Ziling knew very well what a monster-like person he was. In his previous life, he could only be considered to be more hardworking and slightly smarter than ordinary people, and he was not a monster at all.
The reason why he behaved so evilly was that he had a good chance. After his soul traveled through time, he was able to fuse the residual soul of a demon who cultivated his spirit with a complete spirit at once without any signs of schizophrenia. This was impossible. Then he got the best secret cultivation method, and he also had the content of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Five Elements in his mind from another world.
This truth that points directly to the essence of heaven and earth could be read in the previous world by just moving one's fingers, but one would not understand it even if one read it. But in this world, it is the most profound secret, and only a few people can be taught it.
With this series of opportunities, he gradually became a demon-like figure.
He had no way of explaining these to the Fire Dragon, and there was no need to explain them.
Because he had laid a solid foundation in the early stages, he had now become a genuine evil-like figure.
"Senior, I have a lot of Wuchen Immortal Pills and Wuchen Yuan Pills on hand, and I want to quickly train a few relatively powerful disciples. But most of my Wuji Sect's disciples have practiced for relatively short periods of time, and their foundations are shallow, so they cannot withstand the absorption of Wuchen Immortal Pills and Wuchen Yuan Pills. Do you have any ideas?" Qin Ziling changed the subject.
"Do you want to quickly improve the strength of your subordinates?" The fire dragon slightly raised his drooping eyelids.
"That's right." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Well, it takes three to make a hero. No matter how evil a person is, if he doesn't have a group of subordinates to help him, sooner or later he will..." Having said this, the Fire Dragon suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, but couldn't remember it, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.
"Senior!" Qin Ziling called out hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Alas!" Fire Dragon sighed and said, "I can more or less remember some of the immortal ways, alchemy, and the great principles of heaven and earth. Why can't I remember anything about myself? Forget it. It's useless to think about it now. I'll try my best to help you. Helping you is helping me."
At this point, Huo Long seemed to have come to his senses, the pain on his face disappeared, and he continued, "For a demon-level character to grow up, he needs a lot of help from others. You now have a lot of Wuchen Xiandan and Wuchen Yuandan, and there are many materials in your cave world that can be used to refine Wuchen Xiandan.
You definitely won't be able to digest it all in a short period of time. It would be a waste if you leave it alone. You should really use it to quickly improve the strength of your subordinates so that you can obtain more other resources."
"What the senior said is absolutely right, but my foundation is shallow and it is difficult to improve quickly!" Qin Ziling said.
"To improve quickly, there are only three factors to consider. One is the great Dao you comprehend. If you don't comprehend the Dao to that level, no matter how strong your immortal power is or how powerful your martial arts are, you will not be able to break through the realm.
The second is the physical foundation. A warrior's body must be strong enough to absorb more Qi and blood. A Qi cultivator's meridians and immortal palaces must be strong and spacious enough, and the immortal infant must be strong enough to absorb more immortal energy.
The third is mental perseverance. Rapid improvement is a radical path, a path that breaks through the limit, and requires a lot of pain. If you don't have a firm mental perseverance, once the breath in your heart is dispersed, the power will be out of control, and you may go crazy at best, or explode and die at worst. "Said the fire dragon.
"Senior, your words are to the point and every word is insightful. Do you have any ideas for solving this problem?" Qin Ziling asked humbly.
He was able to make rapid progress in his cultivation, and he was almost unscrupulous in taking elixirs, even daring to take the True Immortal-level Wuchen Immortal Pill directly. In the final analysis, it was because he possessed all three factors mentioned by Huolong.
But Jian Bailou and others still have a long way to go!
"The second and third points are actually relatively easy. As long as we increase our training intensity and take healing and nourishing pills, and don't let them damage their foundation, it should be effective in a short period of time. Of course, those who can't bear it will definitely be eliminated." The fire dragon replied.
"That makes sense. The first point is the most difficult. To comprehend the great Dao, one needs to rely on talent, daily comprehension, and sudden enlightenment. Although the master can teach and answer questions, the key still depends on whether they can understand it. There is no way to rush it!" Qin Ziling agreed.
"Haha, the first point is the most difficult for others, but it is the easiest for you." The fire dragon suddenly laughed.
"What do you mean?" Qin Ziling's heart was shocked and he asked.
"Because you are a god! What do you rely on to realize the truth? You rely on this!" The fire dragon raised its claws and tapped its head, continuing, "Didn't I just say that? God cultivators have a natural advantage over human and earthly gods in terms of understanding the great Dao, because when they are undergoing the tribulation, the heavenly tribulation directly targets their souls, which is equivalent to direct communication between heaven and man."
"But I am a god, and they are not!" Qin Ziling asked puzzledly.
"But you can interpret the changes in the way of heaven!" said the fire dragon.
Before the fire dragon finished speaking, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the vast void where he was. This ball of fire was ever-changing, interpreting the changes of fire, masculinity, violence, destruction, and even a trace of vitality hidden in destruction...
These changes directly touch the human soul, and the true meaning contained in them is like a trickle of water, slowly seeping into the soul and will, allowing people to understand it unconsciously.
"Of course, with your realm, it is still difficult to interpret the changes of the Heavenly Dao, especially since you have disciples who practice various Daos. It is even more difficult for you to interpret so many Daos. And the more realistic the interpretation of this method is, the better the effect will be, otherwise the effect will be average.
Why can those with high cultivation easily enlighten the younger generation and make them suddenly enlightened? In fact, it is because of this method. Originally, you are still far away from those who have truly high cultivation. The changes in the way of heaven that you are performing now will be very crude and fake at first glance. It is okay to confuse them for a short time, but it is impossible to make them feel as if they are actually there.
But you have the cave world, you are now a deity, you have touched some of the true meaning of the laws of heaven, you are the laws of heaven of the cave world, you can use the cave world to evolve the changes of heaven. Although this heaven is not the same as that heaven, it is still in its infancy and is real.
You tell them in advance not to resist and try to blend in, and they will gradually immerse themselves in it, and it will be like communication between heaven and man. As long as they are not too untalented, they will be able to understand the great way quickly. " Fire Dragon explained.
"Immersive virtual reality experience! Metaverse!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of the virtual world of another world. Suddenly, everything became clear to him. He said with joy, "Thank you for your guidance, the most difficult point has been basically solved. But the second and third points, although relatively easy, are still difficult for me to achieve results in a short period of time. Do you have any good ideas?"
"The simplest way is for you to sacrifice this fragment, and I will create a purgatory-like environment for them. I guarantee that they will all be reborn soon. Hehe, of course you have to provide me with some pure yang power." The fire dragon said, looking at Qin Ziling with a different look.
Qin Ziling felt a chill for no apparent reason and said with a bitter smile, "Senior, training them is not a matter of one or two days. I have finally survived the heavenly tribulation and gained some pure Yang energy in my soul and body. How can I supply you with this amount of pure Yang energy? Moreover, this amount of pure Yang energy is just a drop in the bucket for you. It is not a long-term solution after all."
