Chapter 649: Successive Tribulations
Jiuxuan Mountain.
Xuansha Peak.
Elder Xiao Ren’s Mansion.
"What? Yin Ranyue actually threw Changsun Cong and Changsun Yun into the forbidden prison in Pingyu Mountain!" Xiao Ren slammed the table and stood up, his white hair flying straight back like silver needles.
The entire hall seemed to be frozen all of a sudden.
The three inner disciples who were kneeling on one knee on the ground to report had pale faces.
"No, Yin Ranyue has mental obstacles and is only at the late stage of the Infant Immortal realm. Her Purple Thunder Staff is also seriously damaged. Even if she has the Purple Thunder Staff in her hand, she can only suppress a third-grade True Immortal at best. She definitely cannot suppress the Changsun Cong and his sister. Could it be that Lu Han followed her secretly and helped them? This old woman is so bold that she even dares to suppress this elder's disciple!" The anger on Xiao Ren's face quickly turned gloomy and ugly.
"Reporting to the elder, the one who suppressed Senior Brother and Sister Changsun was Master Yin Feng. She is now in the realm of a first-grade True Immortal." A thin inner sect disciple spoke tremblingly, fearing that he would anger Xiao Ren.
Xiao Ren’s anger just now made him feel like his blood was freezing.
"Yin Ranyue has actually reached the realm of the first-grade true immortal. It seems that she must have had some chance to break through the inner demon barrier." Xiao Ren's face changed slightly, but soon he said with a puzzled look: "No, even if Yin Ranyue breaks through to the realm of the first-grade true immortal, she still can't suppress the Changsun brothers and sisters unless the Zixiao Thunder Staff is also restored!
But the Dao treasure was damaged, and even the sect master was helpless. Yin Ranyue could only take care of it and slowly restore it. How could it be possible to recover in a short time?"
After talking to himself for a while, Xiao Ren looked at the thin inner disciple and said, "Tell me the details of the incident."
"yes!"
Then the inner disciple recounted the whole story in detail from beginning to end.
"Okay, this elder knows. Don't spread this matter for now. Tell the others not to spread it too. This elder will handle it. Now you all may go down." After listening, Xiao Ren gave a few instructions with an expressionless face, then waved his hand to let the three inner disciples go out.
"It seems that the Purple Sky Thunder Staff has really recovered, but I can't judge how much it has recovered based on what you said. However, Yin Ranyue has definitely overcome her inner demons. In this way, her position as the peak master will be more difficult to shake." After Xiao Ren waved away the three inner disciples, he sat in his seat and touched his chin. He pondered for a while, then stood up and left the Elders' Mansion, heading towards the Xuansha Peak Master's Mansion.
As soon as Xiao Ren arrived at the residence of the master of Xuansha Peak, he saw a thin man wearing a black robe. He walked like a ghost, giving people an indescribable weird, cold and erratic feeling.
"Master Yuwen Feng is hello!" When Xiao Ren saw the man, he bowed from a distance.
It turned out that this man was Yuwen Sen, the leader of Diyou Peak, a seventh-rank true immortal.
"It turns out to be Elder Xiao!" Yu Wensen nodded slightly to Xiao Ren, then floated away.
Xiao Ren watched Yu Wensen leave, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
At this time, a Taoist boy came over and said, "Elder Xiao, the peak master wants to see you."
Xiao Ren nodded and followed the Taoist boy into the Peak Master's Mansion.
Shentu Kun sat high on the peak master's throne, with a cold temperament, and looked at Xiao Ren coming in with an expressionless face.
"Disciple Xiao Ren greets the Peak Master!" Xiao Ren bowed respectfully to Shen Tu Kun.
"Why did you come to see me?" Shentu Kun asked.
"Disciple just received news that Yin Ranyue has overcome his inner demons and has become a first-grade true immortal. Not only that, the Zixiao Thunder Staff has also recovered somewhat. I cannot judge how much it has recovered, but I think it should be considerable." Xiao Ren replied respectfully.
"How did you know about this?" Shentu Kun was slightly moved when he heard this, and the sky over the entire hall was unconsciously covered with dark clouds because of his emotion.
Xiao Ren raised his head at the dark clouds under the dome of the hall, and a hint of awe and envy flashed in the depths of his eyes.
When one's cultivation reaches the eighth level of True Immortal, he will gradually have some sensitivity to the Heavenly Dao within a small range. If he does not restrain himself, every move he makes will cause some changes in the celestial phenomena.
Soon, Xiao Ren lowered his head and roughly recounted what happened on Pingyu Mountain.
"No wonder!" Shentu Kun showed an expression of sudden understanding when he heard it.
"Could it be that the Peak Master has already suspected..." Xiao Ren asked cautiously after hearing this.
Shentu Kun didn't wait for Xiao Ren to say anything. He raised his hand slightly, and Xiao Ren immediately swallowed back the rest of his words.
“This Yin Ranyue is quite domineering, but he is so domineering that he doesn’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! He just got rid of his inner demon barrier, and the Purple Sky Thunder Staff just recovered a little, yet he dared to send my Xuansha Peak’s true disciple to the forbidden cell.
If I don't teach her a lesson, once the news spreads, people will think that I can't even control a little girl like her! How about this, you go to Pingyu Mountain with Yan Jie from Diyou Peak." Shen Tukun stopped Xiao Ren and said lightly.
"Is Yan Jie going too?" Xiao Ren asked, the image of Yu Wensen leaving just now flashing through his mind.
"The Ziyou Palace in the Lingyuan Mountain blessed land was looted, and the Palace Master and his wife were missing. It is rumored that those who looted the Ziyou Palace were from the Netherworld Palace. Jin Zhen of the Ziyou Palace was Yan Jie's direct disciple, so he had to go there in person." Shentu Kun said.
"How could the Netherworld Palace attack the Purple Nether Palace? This is not a big deal..." Xiao Ren blurted out after hearing this.
However, he had just said half of his words when he saw Shentu Kun's eyes falling on him like a knife, sharp and cold. Xiao Ren swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips.
“Also, it is rumored that before Jin Zhen and her husband disappeared, they had a conflict with Chu Yunfeng, a disciple of Xuan Ting Peak, and two unknown True Immortals.
The Lingyuan Mountain blessed land is just not far from Pingyu Mountain. Whether this matter is related to Yinranyue or not, Yan Jie can go with you.
Logically speaking, even if Yin Ranyue has overcome her inner demons, the Purple Thunder Staff cannot be fully restored. With your strength, it should not be a problem to subdue her, but it will be safe if Yan Jie goes with you. "Shen Tukun stopped Xiao Ren from saying the rest and continued.
"Chu Yunfeng?" Xiao Ren showed a hint of surprise when he heard this, and said, "When Yin Ranyue went to Pingyu Mountain, Chu Yunfeng was among the disciples from Xuanting Peak who accompanied him. The disciples thought Chu Yunfeng was just a nobody, so they didn't mention him to the peak master."
"In that case, the disappearance of the Purple You Palace Master and Jin Zhen was most likely caused by Yin Ranyue! First, he killed the disciples of Diyou Peak, and then sent my Xuansha Peak's true teachings down to the forbidden prison. Yin Ranyue is very good, very good!" Shentu Kun said.
When Shentu Kun said this, the dark clouds on the dome of the hall suddenly became turbulent, as if some ferocious beast was about to rush out from it.
"Peak Master, do you want to..." Xiao Ren asked in a low voice, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"It will take a long time for Yin Ranyue to grow up, so there is no need to lose the big picture for the small. Of course, for the sake of your disciples, you were angry and lost control for a moment, so you used heavy hands, which is understandable." Shentu Kun waved his hand.
"Disciple understands!" Xiao Ren bowed and said.
"Go down, you and Yan Jie will set off for the Pingyu Mountain blessed land in the near future." Shentu Kun said lightly.
"Disciple obeys the order!" Xiao Ren bowed and retreated.
Not long after Xiao Ren left, Yuwen Sen, the master of Diyou Peak, reappeared in the main hall of the peak master's mansion like a ghost.
Yu Wensen's status is different from Xiao Ren's.
Xiao Ren could only stand in the hall and talk to Shentu Kun, but as soon as Yuwen Sen came in, a seat appeared out of nowhere in the hall.
"Yin Ranyue has overcome his inner demons, and the Zixiao Thunder Staff has also recovered a little. It seems that you can't expect to be the leader of Xuanfeng Peak in the near future." Shentu Kun said.
"No wonder there is no news about Yan Gu until now. It seems that he has given up the mission." Yu Wensen showed a look of sudden understanding.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jin Zhen are most likely the ones who dyed the moon." Shentu Kun said again.
"Oh!" Upon hearing Yu Wensen's words, wisps of black gas escaped from his body. These wisps of black gas transformed into black snake heads that kept coiling and spitting out their tongues. They looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
"In this way, Yan Jie can take advantage of the opportunity and accidentally seriously injure Yin Ranyue, and Yan Gu can take the opportunity to attack." Yuwen Sen said.
“Although the Xuantian Mirror was damaged and fell to become a yellow-grade Taoist treasure, it was once a Xuan-grade Taoist treasure after all and is extremely mysterious. If the sect master really wants to sacrifice it to investigate the matter of Yin Ranyue, he will surely be able to find some clues, so it is better not to lose the big picture for the small.” Shentu Kun was slightly moved when he heard this, but quickly waved his hand to deny it.
"That's right." Yu Wensen nodded.
"It just so happens that Xiao Ren's two disciples are being held captive by Yin Ranyue in Pingyu Mountain this time. He will go there with Yan Jie. As long as the Purple Thunder Staff has not fully recovered, the two of them will be safe if they join forces. Who knows, Yin Ranyue's inner demon may be reborn, and the Purple Thunder Staff may be beaten back to its original form, which will bring more variables to the matter." Shentu Kun said.
"Senior Brother Shentu is the most thoughtful one." Yu Wensen said.
…
Wuji Fairy Island.
Ever since Lai Yinuan held the disciple-recruiting banquet, everything returned to normal.
Time passes quietly.
Two months passed in a flash.
On this day, Yin Ranyue successfully survived his first wind and fire disaster and became a second-grade true immortal.
Yin Ranyue's personal strength has greatly increased, but the power she can unleash when she releases the Purple Sky Thunder Staff is still between the sixth and seventh rank True Immortals.
Compared with the absolute combat power span between the sixth-grade True Immortal and the seventh-grade True Immortal, the combat power span between the first-grade True Immortal and the second-grade True Immortal is much smaller.
However, the power of the Purple Sky Thunder Staff has an upper limit. Unless Yin Ranyue's realm is suddenly raised to the fourth-grade True Immortal, which is equivalent to the mid-stage True Immortal realm, the power of the Purple Sky Thunder Staff can be greatly improved with the help of Yin Ranyue's improvement, and it is possible that it may even reach the seventh-grade True Immortal level.
Now, the power of the enhancement is still very limited.
But no matter what, now Yin Ranyue and the Purple Sky Thunder Staff are even more powerful than before they crossed the tribulation.
One month after Yin Ranyue successfully survived the first wind and fire calamity, Qin Ziling also successfully survived the wind and fire calamity and became a second-grade true immortal.
On the day when Qin Ziling survived the calamity of wind and fire and became a second-grade true immortal, the sky of the cave world suddenly became higher, the land became wider, and even some small hills rose out of thin air on some flat lands. The concentration of the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth also increased slightly.
Less than half a month after Qin Ziling became a second-grade True Immortal, he naturally overcame the wind and fire tribulations of human immortals and became a second-grade human immortal in the Cave Heaven Realm.
On this day, the changes in the cave world were even greater.
The wind was rising and the clouds were rolling, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and mountains, rivers, lakes and seas appeared on the plain, as if the world had changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.
However, just like Yin Ranyue, Qin Ziling, who became a second-grade True Immortal and a second-grade Cave Heaven Realm Human Immortal, even if he sacrificed the Cave Heaven and borrowed the power of the Qiankun Cave Heaven world, his real combat power was still between the sixth and seventh-grade True Immortals.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Wuji Fairy Island and more than one hundred surrounding islands were all covered by the huge formation and shrouded in clouds and mist.
All the True Immortals and Cave Heaven Realm Immortals came out of retreat, guarding the four directions and not allowing anyone to approach.
Not only that, King Zhu Run, Wan Cheng, Wan Fei, Jin Yu, Qu Jiao, Biteng and other six generals of the Wuji Sect's peripheral forces also came to Wuji Fairy Island in person, and cooperated with the Wuji Sect's disciples to guard the outer waters of Wuji Fairy Island and did not allow anyone to approach.
There is a layer of strong winds above the Wuji Fairy Island.
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.
In the strong wind layer more than ten miles away from Qin Ziling, Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao sat upright.
Lei Xiao, who has always had a hot temper, looked extremely solemn at this moment. There was a faint flash of lightning in his eyes, revealing a strong sense of anticipation.
Qin Ziling is about to go through his second divine tribulation!
The calamity of the immortals is not the calamity of wind and fire, but the calamity of purple mansion divine thunder.
Qin Ziling passed the wind and fire tribulations of a True Immortal and a Human Immortal in a short period of time and became a second-grade True Immortal and a second-grade Cave Heaven Human Immortal. This was all within his expectations.
Because of his comprehension of the Way of Heaven, with the help of the Cave Heaven World, the guidance of the One-eyed Fire Dragon, and of course the help of the "Dragon Blood Creation Pill", he had already surpassed the second level.
The accumulation of immortal power, the accumulation of qi, blood and strength, he has the Wuchen Immortal Pill and the Wuchen Yuan Pill, so his speed is already amazing.
It was only because he had a very strong foundation and practiced the three paths at the same time that he lagged behind Xiao Qing, Zheng Xinghan, Feng Ziluo and others. It was not until two months ago that he survived two wind and fire disasters.
Even so, the speed is already extremely terrifying!
But the soul is different. As for comprehension, he has the cave world in his hands, and he can use it to comprehend the laws of nature day and night. The one-eyed fire dragon can also give him some guidance, so his progress will not be hindered.
But the problem is that the soul itself needs to become stronger.
It's like a child. His mind can mature precociously, his IQ can be very high, and he can understand many principles and knowledge that even adults don't understand very early on, but his body is still , and cannot be compared with that of an adult.
Qin Ziling's soul has this problem. There is no problem in enlightenment, but it is a problem to become stronger.
There are two ways of refining the body and refining the qi, and the Wuchen Immortal Pill and the Wuchen Yuan Pill can solve the problem of growth.
However, the Wuchen Immortal Pill and the Wuchen Yuan Pill cannot directly improve the soul. The One-Eyed Fire Dragon does not recommend that Qin Ziling improve his soul by taking the Fire Yang Immortal Pill containing pure yang power. He believes that he has opened up the channel between heaven, earth and man, and should directly use his own blood, strength, and immortal power to nourish the soul, transform soul power, and use the "Immortal Star Visualization Method" to attract the fire of distant stars and refine the yin impurities in his soul day and night.
In this way, the pure yang power of the soul all comes from his own qi and blood strength and the immortal power gained through hard practice. They are all of the same origin, one and the same, and can be fully controlled. It will be much smoother for him to overcome the immortal calamity in the future, and in the more distant future, it will be easier to achieve the unity of heaven, earth and man, and form a natural world of heaven and earth.
Therefore, according to this method of cultivation, Qin Ziling's spiritual progress would definitely not be able to catch up with the physical and qi training. It would at least lag behind for a few years. It was impossible for him to pass the second immortal tribulation so quickly.
However, the appearance of Yin Ranyue and Zixiao Thunder Staff changed this progress.
Qin Ziling's body and soul were connected with Yin Ranyue's. At close range, their minds could sense each other, and the Zixiao Thunder Staff was Yin Ranyue's Taoist treasure.
In this way, Qin Ziling will be able to use the Purple Sky Thunder Staff to continuously refine the Yin impurities in his soul, so that the speed at which Qi, blood, strength and immortal power are converted into soul power through the channel between heaven, earth and man will be greatly accelerated. The soul will continue to grow stronger, and the pure Yang power will continue to increase.
This is why the progress of the soul's second tribulation was greatly improved.
This was something Qin Ziling could never have expected before he met Yin Ranyue!
I don't know when it got dark.
The terrifying aura of divine power descended upon people, directly targeting their souls and minds, making them tremble and afraid to resist.
Suddenly, a purple lightning with purple flames came down from the sky towards Qin Ziling.
Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao, who were sitting cross-legged more than ten miles away, suddenly had their pupils shrink at the same time, and a dazzling electric light flashed .
There are all kinds of thunder between heaven and earth.
There are Yi wood positive thunder, Bing fire yang thunder, Gui water yin thunder, Geng metal calamity thunder, Wu earth underworld thunder, and there is also the purple thunder formed by the combination of five thunders, which is also the purple thunder that comes down when the Qi cultivators are undergoing the tribulation, there is also the underworld purple thunder that comes down when the body cultivators are undergoing the tribulation, there is the underworld fire purple thunder that comes down when the zombies are undergoing the tribulation, and so on.
Most of these thunders are very common, like the purple thunder of underworld that comes down when a body cultivator is undergoing tribulation, and the purple thunder of underworld fire that comes down when a zombie is undergoing tribulation. In fact, they are only relatively rare. It is easy for a Taoist treasure spirit like Lei Xiao to see one.
In fact, Lei Xiao had also seen the Purple Thunder of Netherworld and the Purple Thunder of Netherfire long ago.
But the Purple Palace Divine Thunder of the Immortal Tribulation is extremely rare in this world.
Because there are very few people who practice spiritual cultivation, and even fewer who can practice to the point of being able to transcend the tribulation of becoming an immortal. Moreover, each of them is extremely mysterious and ethereal. Even Lei Xiao has never seen the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder, let alone Yin Ranyue.
Yin Ranyue practices the way of thunder, and Lei Xiao is the spirit of a thunder-related Taoist treasure.
It would naturally be of great benefit to them to observe and comprehend the extremely mysterious and profound Purple Mansion Divine Thunder Tribulation from a close distance.
Especially the Purple Sky Thunder Staff, which has recently absorbed a lot of thunder power in the wind and thunder barrier. Not only has it fully recovered, but its quality is also steadily improving. If the spirit of the weapon, Lei Xiao, can gain some insights from the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder Tribulation, the Purple Sky Thunder Staff will most likely break through from the middle grade of the Yellow Rank to the upper grade of the Yellow Rank.
Each level of Taoist treasures is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
The Purple Sky Thunder Staff is a mid-grade yellow grade.
