Chapter 611: Departure
Qin Ziling's mind moved again.
The five caves merged into one again, and after that, gradually, scenes from distant places in the caves seemed to be projected into the caves.
The projected scenery was similar to the Qiankunhuandongtian world, with the Longyuan River becoming mighty and the Qianlong Mountain becoming majestic and tall.
The scenery gradually became clear from being blurry in the distance, and even seemed to gradually merge into Qin Ziling's cave world, as if they were about to merge together.
At this time, an even more terrifying and heavy sense of oppression emanated from the cave behind Qin Ziling's head.
Just now, seeing Qin Ziling survive the heavenly tribulation and coming over with joy, the True Immortals of the Wuji Sect and the Human Immortal disciples of the Dongtian Realm who were standing several miles away all felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them. The qi, blood, strength, and immortal power in their bodies all became heavy and slow, as if they were being suppressed by an invisible force.
“Once I pass the cave heaven tribulation and build my own cave heaven, I can finally borrow a part of the power of the Qiankun Ring Cave Heaven world and integrate it into my cave heaven. Once I borrow the power of the Qiankun Ring Cave Heaven world, my martial arts combat power will definitely reach the level of a fifth-grade True Immortal. If I also take into account the Qi refining, I should be considered quite powerful even among the fifth-grade True Immortals.” Qin Ziling thought to himself, and the cave heaven behind his head gradually sank into his body and disappeared.
As the cave disappeared, Jian Bailou and others suddenly felt their bodies lighten.
"Zi Ling!" Xiao Qing flew forward and looked at Qin Zi Ling with surprise.
Qin Ziling nodded at Xiao Qing and reached out to grab her hand.
"Congratulations, Master!"
Everyone came forward and bowed to Qin Ziling with excitement and joy on their faces.
Looking at the True Immortals and Cave Heaven Realm Human Immortals in front of him, and thinking of his current combat power which should be considered relatively powerful among the fifth-grade True Immortals, as well as powerful peripheral forces such as the Ten Thousand Whales Valley and the Fire Ape Kingdom, Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel very proud.
Now, he just hasn't revealed it. If he really reveals it, he will definitely be a formidable force in the 90 million miles of sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain.
But soon, Qin Ziling thought of the Twelve Underground Palaces on Luotian Island and the dwarf immortal trapped in the "Dahuangluo" underground palace, and the heroic spirit surging in his heart gradually subsided.
There are too many powerful people in this world. What he has come into contact with now is just a small tip of the iceberg. It is far from the time for him to be complacent and relax.
Of course, Qin Ziling would not belittle himself.
On that day, the main senior figures of Wuji Sect gathered in the Wuji Grand Hall and drank to celebrate Qin Ziling's becoming a cave heaven realm immortal.
After a small-scale celebratory banquet, Qin Ziling began to retreat to comprehend the experience of overcoming tribulations and consolidate his cultivation.
Jian Bailou and the others also dispersed and went into seclusion to practice.
According to Fire Dragon's judgment, they obtained the "Dragon Blood Creation Pill" to fill the gaps in their practice time and experience of enlightenment. After crossing the threshold of Immortal Infant or Dharmakaya, with their talent, perseverance and the resources of Wuji Sect, their practice before the third-grade True Immortal or third-grade Cave Heaven realm can be said to be smooth sailing, with very few bottlenecks.
However, there is a relatively large threshold between the third and fourth grades, and after reaching the third grade, the "benefits" brought to them by the "Dragon Blood Creation Pill" have almost been used up.
Simple nourishment can no longer support them to quickly cross that threshold.
Because of this, Jian Bailou and others are now seizing every moment to practice. As long as they can eat Wuchen Xiandan and Wuchen Yuandan, they will try their best to eat them, hoping to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
The last battle at Pingyu Mountain, the subsequent trip to the Misty Sea, and the magical beasts hunted by various parties during this period have accumulated enough Wuchen Xiandan and Wuchen Yuandan for the core disciples of the Wuji Sect.
Even the first and second grade elixirs for overcoming evil are available in sufficient quantities.
After the trip to the Misty Sea, the medicinal materials for refining the third-grade Deliverance Pill have been prepared and have now been refined, but the quantity is very small, only two pills.
So as long as they can break through, resources are not a problem at the moment.
In a blink of an eye, another three months passed.
"well!"
In the secret training room, Qin Ziling let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes.
He thought that he had the high-quality Wuchen Yuandan, the third-grade True Immortal-level Wuchen Xiandan, and even the "Dragon Power Blood Soul Pill" on hand. Once he passed the cave heaven tribulation, with his foundation and the help of these immortal pills, his cultivation would surely rush forward like a hot knife through butter, and he would even be able to sense the wind and fire tribulation soon.
If he were to encounter another wind and fire disaster in a short period of time, his strength would reach the level of a sixth-grade True Immortal.
At that time, he would be able to lead people back to the "Dahuangluo" underground palace, kill the old man, and seize the fragments of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.
After obtaining the fragments, the Fire Dragon's strength will surely increase, and then he will have enough confidence to go to Jiuxuan Mountain.
But in the end, not everything in this world can go as planned.
Ever since he passed the cave heaven tribulation, after experiencing rapid progress in the first month, Qin Ziling's progress in the later period slowed down, as if there were invisible shackles binding him and preventing him from breaking through.
The invisible shackles did not come from physical deficiencies, but from the depths of his spirit and soul. It was like there was a voice always calling and disturbing him, preventing him from fully immersing himself in practice as before.
His practice is the integration of three paths, and within the three paths there are various sects, including life and death, yin and yang, and the five elements. It can be said that his practice is in line with the ultimate truth of heaven and earth that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. The requirements for the state of mind during practice are far higher than those of others.
"Ran Yue!" A firm voice soon sounded in the secret room.
Qin Ziling stood up resolutely.
He knew very well that this invisible shackle came from Yinranyue.
It has always been a knot in his heart that Yin Ranyue was forcibly taken away just when he thought he had become strong enough to protect the people around him.
He always had Yin Ranyue in his heart.
In the past, his cultivation was at a low level, so he could concentrate on practicing in seclusion with peace of mind, and improve himself wholeheartedly so that he could climb Jiuxuan Mountain.
But now his actual combat power is considered quite powerful even among the fifth-grade True Immortals, and he is definitely qualified to go to Jiuxuan Mountain.
So intellectually, I thought it would be safer to break through another level, but emotionally, the idea of going to Jiuxuan Mountain and finding Yinranyue one day earlier became particularly strong.
When he chose to practice in seclusion, he felt an inexplicable sense of self-blame, thinking that he was escaping and was afraid of climbing Mount Jiuxuan.
I would have the feeling that what if I choose to break through to the second level first and am delayed by a year or two, or something happens to Yinranyue, and I would regret it for the rest of my life.
Qin Ziling pushed the door open and stepped out of the place of practice. Just as he was about to gather people, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan had already flown in front of him with a look of surprise on their faces.
"You've made a breakthrough!" Qin Ziling looked at the increasingly surging and powerful energy and blood in Xiao Qing's body, and his heart was shocked, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes!" Xiao Qing nodded and said, "Ten days ago, I took another 'Dragon Power Blood Spirit Pill', and then it triggered the wind and fire disaster. I don't know where the wind and fire came from in the cave, and it spread throughout the cave in an instant.
The flames were raging, the wind was blowing into my nine orifices, my qi, blood, spirit, soul, bones, and flesh all over my body seemed to be burned to ashes. But I remembered what you told me, kept my consciousness strong, and took the elixir of salvation, and soon I got through it safely.
After going through the catastrophe of wind and fire, the flesh, blood, energy, and spirit of the whole body seemed to have been tempered. The whole person, from soul to body, seemed to have been reborn again, and the cave was more vast and solid. "
As he spoke, a cave appeared behind Xiao Qing's head.
The saplings in the cave have grown up, and the cave feels more and more real, exuding a heavy and majestic aura comparable to the one Qin Ziling exuded when he survived the cave tribulation.
Second-grade cave heaven.
Xiao Qing's physical martial arts foundation is also extremely solid, only slightly inferior to Qin Ziling's.
In terms of martial arts alone, Xiao Qing's second-grade cave heaven can rival Qin Ziling's first-grade cave heaven, and has the combat power of a fourth-grade true immortal.
Of course, Qin Ziling also has the Qiankun Huandongtian. Once he borrows the power of the Qiankun Huandongtian world, Qin Ziling will have the combat power of a fifth-grade true immortal through martial arts alone, which is not something Xiao Qing can match.
If one adds Qi refining and the soul, Xiao Qing will be even more at a disadvantage.
"Good, very good!" Qin Ziling's mood, which had been a little depressed, suddenly improved.
Qin Ziling never worried about .
The Fire Dragon said that when overcoming the wind and fire disasters, the more solid the foundation and the more resolute the mind, the less danger there will be in overcoming the wind and fire disasters.
Xiao Qing's foundation is extremely solid, and his determination is something Qin Ziling has never seen in his life.
At such a young age, he dispersed his strength twice, broke through it twice and then used up his strength. How many people can have such perseverance and determination?
What's more, Qin Ziling had already prepared an elixir for her to overcome her difficulties!
"How are you?" Xiao Qing put away the cave behind his head and asked.
"I don't think it will be possible in a short time." Qin Ziling shook his head, then paused, put his arms around Xiao Qing and Xia Yan's waists, and said, "I'm going to Jiuxuan Mountain soon."
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan both trembled slightly when they heard this.
"So fast?" Xia Yan asked softly, with worry in her eyes.
Xiao Qing remained silent, but his eyes also showed worry.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to Jiuxuan Mountain to look for someone, not to fight, nothing will happen. Besides, my current strength is comparable to that of a powerful fifth-grade True Immortal, which is quite impressive considering the 90 million li of sea.
And you know my character, I never show off or make a big deal, think about it, with my strength and low profile, how can it be dangerous if I am the only one who is plotting against others?" Qin Ziling said with relief.
"Since you have decided to go, then go ahead. I am now in the second-grade Cave Heaven Realm. Teacher Lai and Teacher Jian are probably about to break through. We also have a large formation to help us. Your brothers and sisters are also outside. You don't have to worry about here." Xiao Qing said calmly, but her curvy body was close to Qin Ziling.
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded and silently hugged their waists tightly.
At this time, a servant came to report that King Zhu Run was visiting with four generals, and they were already outside Baihu Island.
White Tiger Island is one of the three most important islands outside Wuji Fairy Island.
The Wuji Fairy Island and the three most important outer islands form the Small Four Symbols Zhuxian. The three outer islands are named White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise respectively, while the Wuji Fairy Island has another name, Qinglong Fairy Island.
"They came at the right time." Qin Ziling let go of Xiao Qing and Xia Yan, and ordered people to welcome King Zhu Run and others to the Wuji Palace on the main island.
The disciple took the order and left.
Qin Ziling took Xiao Qing and Xia Yan to the Wuji Palace to wait.
Soon Zhu Run, accompanied by four generals , You Hongling , Tan Yuhao, Ao Xiu and Wu Cai, flew to the Wuji Palace.
Wu Cai was originally the captain of the Chilin Guard of the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Later, he followed Qin Ziling and was able to break through and become a true immortal.
More than half a year ago, Zhu Run worshipped Qin Ziling as his elder brother, and the entire Fire Ape Kingdom had actually secretly become a subsidiary force of the Wuji Sect.
At that time, Fukong was killed by Qin Ziling, and the position of General Zhenxi became vacant. Zhu Run couldn't find anyone to replace him for a while, so Qin Ziling transferred Wu Cai, who was familiar with Pingyu West City, to him and let him take the position of General Zhenxi.
"Meet my eldest brother and two sisters-in-law."
"Greetings, Master and Madam!"
Five people arrived and bowed in greeting.
Qin Ziling and the other two returned the greeting, then smiled and led the five people into the hall.
Seeing Qin Ziling sitting in the seat of the head, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan sat on his left and right respectively, Zhu Run and the other four took their seats one by one.
"Are you going to survive the calamity of wind and fire?" Qin Ziling asked Zhu Run directly as Zhu Run and the other four had just sat down.
During this half year or so, Qin Ziling later sent Zhu Run a second-grade True Immortal-level Wuchen Immortal Pill.
Calculating the time and the almost unsuppressible surging spiritual power in his body, Qin Ziling knew everything about him as soon as he saw him.
"Brother, you really have sharp eyes and can see through everything!" Zhu Run said with admiration.
"You, the king, have begun to flatter others!" Qin Ziling pointed at Zhu Run and smiled.
"Hehe, that's only in front of outsiders. In front of my elder brother and sister-in-law, there's no such thing as a king or not." Zhu Run said with a smile.
Qin Ziling smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
However, You Hongling and others had somewhat subtle expressions.
Zhu Run is the descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan. He is born with a fiery temper. Normally, his subordinates would never dare to anger him. But now, in front of Qin Ziling, he is like a good little brother and does not have a fiery temper at all.
"Thanks to my elder brother's kindness, I am quite confident that I can survive the wind and fire disaster this time. But the wind and fire disaster is a dangerous thing after all. So before I survive the disaster, I came here specially to say goodbye to my elder brother and sister-in-law. There are also some things I have to entrust to you." Zhu Run quickly put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
Upon hearing this, You Hongling and others' expressions turned serious.
To survive the calamity of wind and fire is a dangerous matter for any True Immortal.
Even though they received the Wuchen Immortal Pill given by Qin Ziling, not only did their skills increase greatly, but their immortal power was also condensed and purified, and their success rate in overcoming the tribulation would be relatively high, but it was still dangerous.
The higher the grade, the greater the danger of surviving the wind and fire disasters.
Between the third and fourth grades is a relatively large threshold.
This time's wind and fire disaster is much more dangerous than the previous two.
It is precisely because of this that, even though Zhu Run is a descendant of Zhu Yan's bloodline, and when the power of his bloodline erupts, his combat power can even rival that of a fourth-grade true immortal, he has been hesitant to survive the wind and fire catastrophe. He has been suppressing himself again and again, and has been accumulating strength.
Until today, he could no longer hold it in, so he came to Qin Ziling to say goodbye and make arrangements for his funeral.
Then, Zhu Run made a detailed list of the seals for opening the precious items in his collection, his secret methods of cultivation, his men, and even the men he had placed outside the Pingyu Mountain blessed land, and handed it to Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling didn't bother to be polite with Zhu Run and accepted the things from him.
There is no such thing as a 100% certainty when it comes to overcoming tribulations. Even though he has prepared a third-grade elixir for Zhu Run, it cannot guarantee that he will be 100% certain to survive the wind and fire tribulations.
"Just rest assured and survive the Wind and Fire Tribulation. I won't treat you unfairly." Qin Ziling said solemnly after accepting the things, and then said: "However, surviving the Wind and Fire Tribulation is very serious. Since you are about to face the Wind and Fire Tribulation, why not survive it here with me? I have an elixir here that you can take when you survive the tribulation."
As he spoke, Qin Ziling took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Zhu Run.
Zhu Run didn't think much about it. He took the pill bottle and opened it.
When it was opened, Zhu Run was completely stunned, as if he had lost his soul.
He is the king of the Fire Ape Kingdom, a third-rank true immortal, and has been to Jiuxuan Mountain many times. Even if he had not taken the Transmigration Pill, he had still seen it.
He recognized at a glance that the pill bottle contained the Du'e Immortal Pill. Not only that, there were three wind and fire patterns on the Du'e Immortal Pill, which meant it was a third-grade Du'e Immortal Pill.
The third-grade elixir of salvation is extremely rare, not to mention that it rarely flows out of the 90 million miles of sea. The appearance of any one of them will cause a bloody storm. Even in the Jiuxuan Sect, the third-grade elixir of salvation is extremely precious.
Only disciples who have made great contributions or those who have stood out after fierce competition within the sect will have the opportunity to receive rewards.
“Brother, this, this…” After a long time, Zhu Run came to his senses and said with red eyes.
"Since you call me brother, there is no need to say anything else. I will order someone to arrange a place for you to survive the wind and fire disaster." Qin Ziling waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Run, then called Yun Xiwu, one of the persons in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, and ordered her to arrange a place for Zhu Run to survive the disaster.
"You three should be here soon. When you sense that a wind or fire catastrophe is approaching, come to Wuji Fairy Island." After Qin Ziling gave instructions to Yun Xiwu, he looked at You Hongling, Ao Xiu and Qin Yuhao and reminded them.
The Du'e Immortal Pill is very special. To avoid any surprise, Qin Ziling certainly cannot give it to them now and let them keep it with them. Qin Ziling has not even revealed the name of the Du'e Immortal Pill to them yet.
"Yes! Master!"
You Hongling and the other two were not stupid. When they saw Qin Ziling gave Zhu Run an elixir, they were so shocked and moved that they knew this was a great opportunity for them. Upon hearing this, they bowed and accepted the order.
…
Ten days later, a shuttle-shaped fairy boat flew away from the Wuji Fairy Island.
On the Wuji Fairy Island, in the square of the Wuji Grand Palace, a large group of people stood and bowed to the fairy boat from afar.
Among this group of people, there were more than fifty true immortals and human immortals in the cave heaven realm. Zhu Run, Jin Yu and others were also there. The vast majority of the rest were earth immortals in the immortal infant realm and human immortals in the Dharma body realm.
Zhu Run is now a fourth-grade true immortal.
But facing the departing immortal boat, his body, which was over ten feet tall, almost bent to the bottom.
Only when the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle disappeared into the horizon and could no longer be seen did everyone return to the Wuji Palace.
