Chapter 650: Departure to the Juxian Sea
The Purple Palace Divine Thunder finally fell.
It did not hit Qin Ziling's body, but directly hit his Niwan Palace.
Suddenly, there was thunder, lightning and fire in the Niwan Palace.
Purple lightning bolts came down with flames.
Soon, the white clouds in the Niwan Palace, the palace shining with golden light, and the divine soldiers and generals who rushed out of the palace fell apart and disappeared without a trace under the bombardment of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder.
Between heaven and earth, only the golden body of the soul was left sitting cross-legged in the void.
Purple Mansion Divine Thunders descended 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.
At this time, Qin Ziling's Niwan Palace was wide open, with no arrangements to cover it. The changes inside could be clearly seen by Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao who were sitting nearby.
Watching Qin Ziling's golden soul body melting like wax and the golden light dissipating and disappearing, Yin Ranyue's heart was gripped, his face turned pale, and his whole body could not help but tremble. He wished that it was himself instead of Qin Ziling who was experiencing the pain of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder catastrophe.
“Sister Ranyue, keep your mind steady and don’t waver! The Purple Mansion Divine Thunder is one of the most powerful and mysterious thunders in the world. If you want to grow up quickly and become Brother Ziling’s right-hand man and don’t want to be a burden to him, you must find a way to spy on its true meaning!” Lei Xiao shouted in a deep voice when he saw Yin Ranyue’s pale face and wavering mind.
Yin Ranyue's face turned even paler when she heard this. She remembered how she was favored by the young master of the Xu family in the Qin Mansion and she was powerless to resist. It was Qin Ziling who risked his life to sneak into the Xu Family Castle and assassinated the young master of the Xu family. She also remembered how she was powerless to resist when her master took her away, which made the lady cry and made the young master run around for her all these years, going through many dangers and sufferings.
"No! I don't want to be a burden to the young master! I must become the young master's indispensable right-hand man!" Suddenly, Yin Ranyue let out a low roar from her throat, with an extremely firm and fierce look in her eyes, like a mother beast protecting her cubs.
After the roar was uttered, Yin Ranyue's mind calmed down. Relying on the mysterious mental connection with Qin Ziling at close range, it was like a mirror, reflecting the power and mysterious changes of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder.
Lei Xiao was overjoyed, and soon he was completely immersed in the power and mysterious changes of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder.
There are fifty great ways and forty-nine natural ways.
Heaven is ruthless, but it still leaves a glimmer of hope for those who are trying to survive.
Therefore, there are forty-nine purple palace divine thunders in each immortal calamity.
The power of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder is stronger than the last.
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.
When the forty-ninth purple mansion divine thunder disappeared, Qin Ziling's soul and golden body almost collapsed completely.
Fortunately, at the moment when the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder disappeared, a trace of very mysterious energy descended like golden light, continuously sinking into his almost collapsed soul, and blood and immortal power passed through the channel between heaven, earth and man, descending like a blood-red rain.
Qin Ziling's soul grew rapidly, and many more mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth appeared in his mind. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have become a part of these laws of heaven and earth.
I had this feeling the last time I went through the calamity of becoming an immortal, but this time it was clearer and more real.
In the cave world, the operation of the laws of heaven and earth has undergone some mysterious changes, and its power has become even greater.
Qin Ziling only had a thought, and the entire cave world was filled with wind and clouds, lightning and thunder. Chains of order appeared in the sky, emitting infinite divine power, which frightened the birds and beasts living in the cave world and made them lie on the ground, not daring to breathe. Even a fourth-grade immortal like Shangguan Bing felt his scalp tingling when he saw the chains of order appear.
"call!"
In the increasingly vast world of Niwan Palace, the one-eyed fire dragon poked its head out and let out a long breath.
"You finally made it through with your own abilities." The one-eyed fire dragon looked at Qin Ziling and said, a hint of admiration in his one eye.
"Yes, this immortal calamity is really dangerous. With the last purple mansion divine thunder, I almost couldn't help but call on you to come out for help." Qin Ziling said with lingering fear.
“It’s dangerous, but the rewards are great! Your foundation in body and qi training is too solid, and you’re also practicing the five elements of yin and yang. If you don’t have a strong soul to coordinate and control it, every breakthrough will be much more difficult than others.
But your spirit has caught up, which means that as long as there are enough resources, your body and qi training can still be improved quickly and steadily. Of course, you are now at the second-grade True Immortal and second-grade Cave Heaven realms, so it is impossible to improve as quickly as before.
Also, when you become a second-grade immortal, your ability to control the cave world will be stronger, your speed of using the cave world will be faster, and you will be able to borrow more power from the cave world.
Now, you have the true combat power of a sixth-grade immortal. If you don't hesitate to damage the cave world, you should be able to burst out combat power close to that of a seventh-grade immortal. "The fire dragon said.
"Are you still unable to reach the combat power of a seventh-grade True Immortal?" Qin Ziling asked.
“No.” Fire Dragon shook his head and said, “The seventh-grade True Immortal is considered to be in the late stage of the True Immortal realm, and has truly begun to integrate a trace of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, there is a huge gap between the sixth-grade and seventh-grade True Immortals. This threshold is like a chasm and is difficult to cross.
No matter how powerful you are, you are only a second-grade one. Unless you count me in, or finalize your Qiankun Cave Heaven World and refine it into a real boundary soldier, with your strength far exceeding that of immortals of the same level, you can fight against not only the seventh-grade True Immortal, but even the eighth-grade True Immortal.
However, your Qiankun Cave World is extremely mysterious, and it is expected to grow and evolve into a real world in the future. You definitely don't want to finalize it now and refine it into a real world soldier.
So you can only use part of its power now, and the power you can exert is naturally limited. But when you break through to the third level of physical and qi training, and then use the power of the cave world, you should be able to fight against the seventh-level true immortal.
Without the help of realm soldiers and Dao treasures, relying mainly on his own cultivation and borrowing part of the power of the cave world, he can fight against the seventh level at the third level. That is absolutely shocking.
Of course, this time the three of you have stepped into the second-grade realm one after another, especially your spiritual breakthrough to become a second-grade immortal. I have also benefited from it and recovered a little.
Previously, you and I joined forces, and I could help you kill a seventh-grade true immortal, but the losses would definitely be great, and then I would probably have to fall into a long sleep.
But now that you and I have joined forces, killing a seventh-grade True Immortal will definitely not cost much. If you really want to explode without regard for the consequences, you can even compete with an eighth-grade True Immortal. However, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best for you not to conflict with an eighth-grade True Immortal for the time being."
"I understand." Qin Ziling thought about it carefully and nodded. He was not surprised.
The more advanced one's cultivation is, the greater the span of strength will be. It is impossible for him to improve one level in a low level and have it be equivalent to one level of others in a high level.
What's more, who among those who can cross the gap between the sixth-grade and seventh-grade True Immortals is a simple person?
After understanding, Qin Ziling slowly opened his eyes and his thoughts returned to reality.
"Congratulations, Brother Ziling!"
As soon as Qin Ziling opened his eyes, he saw a flash of lightning and Lei Xiao appeared in front of him.
"Hey, you seem a little different." Qin Ziling was bombarded by the Purple Sky Thunder Staff almost every other day, and he was in telepathic communication with Yin Ranyue, so he knew Lei Xiao's condition best. Now that he was a second-grade immortal, his senses became even more acute. When he saw her appear in front of him, he immediately sensed the very subtle changes in her.
"It's indeed different. It seems that the girl has benefited a lot from observing the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder Tribulation this time. She will most likely break through to the upper level of the Yellow Rank in the near future." The fire dragon suddenly poked its head out, stared at Lei Xiao with its one eye, and said.
"Brother Ziling and the seniors are really amazing. They can see it at the first glance." Lei Xiao immediately flattered them with a well-behaved look on his face.
"Ranyue, how are you?" Qin Ziling ignored Lei Xiao's flattery and turned to Yin Ranyue and asked.
"I also understand something." Yinranyue said with a happy expression.
"That's good!" Qin Ziling nodded with a smile.
"Brother Ziling, you are biased and only care about Sister Ranyue! No matter how much Sister Ranyue has learned, it is impossible for her cultivation and combat power to make any major breakthroughs all of a sudden.
But I am different. Once I become a top-grade yellow rank, my power will surely increase greatly. Then I will fully cooperate with Sister Ran Yue to perform the Thunder Dao Immortal Art. Even a seventh-rank True Immortal will be able to fight with me. Basically, I should be able to sweep away all those below the seventh-rank True Immortal." Lei Xiao pouted when he saw this, feeling a little jealous.
"What? So powerful?" Qin Ziling was shocked when he heard that.
"Of course, a top-grade yellow-level Taoist treasure can go up to the mysterious level! The most powerful Taoist treasure of our Jiuxuan Sect, the Xuantian Mirror, is only a top-grade yellow-level one. It used to be the mysterious level, but unfortunately it was badly damaged and fell down." Lei Xiao said with a proud look on her face, as if she had already become a top-grade yellow-level Taoist treasure.
"Then if a seventh- or eighth-grade True Immortal were to use the Taoist treasure, wouldn't he be able to easily kill a True Immortal of the same rank who doesn't have a Taoist treasure, or even suppress a ninth-grade Taoist immortal?" Qin Ziling was shocked when he heard this.
"How is that possible!" Lei Xiao immediately shook his head upon hearing this and said, "The reason why Daobao is so powerful is because it has a spirit that can kill enemies and protect its master. When the master of Daobao is relatively weak, the Daobao will appear very powerful. Once the master of Daobao is very strong, the Daobao will not appear so powerful.
For example, once I break through and become a yellow-grade upper-quality Taoist treasure, even without Sister Ranyue, I can fight against a sixth-grade True Immortal. If Sister Ranyue can use her full strength, I can barely fight against a seventh-grade True Immortal.
But if a seventh-rank immortal uses me, at most he can only fight against an eighth-rank immortal without a Dao treasure. It is impossible for me to increase much more, because my combat power limit is around the sixth-rank immortal level. No matter how much others use me, my power will increase, unless I break through to the Xuan level. "
"I see." Qin Ziling nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "How many Taoist treasures does the Jiuxuan Sect have?"
“The Jiuxuan Sect used to have nine Taoist treasures, but later on some were lost and some were destroyed, and now there are only three left,” Lei Xiao replied.
"No wonder you recognized Ran Yue as your leader. They ignored Ran Yue's cultivation and mental obstacles and insisted on making her the peak master. It turns out that Jiuxuan Sect only has three Taoist treasures." Qin Ziling said thoughtfully.
"That's right. Dao treasure is very important to Jiuxuan Sect. But Dao treasure has independent thinking. No one can control it except the owner of Dao treasure. So I chose Sister Ranyue. Even though they knew that Sister Ranyue had low cultivation and mental obstacles, they had to give Sister Ranyue a chance." Lei Xiao nodded.
"In addition to you and the Xuantian Mirror, the Jiuxuan Sect has another Taoist treasure. What is it called and who has it?" Qin Ziling asked.
"The Jiuxuan Sect also has a Taoist treasure called the Ice Evil Pearl, which is of the upper grade of the Yellow Rank. It is now in the hands of Shen Tukun, the head of Xuansha Peak. The Ice Evil Pearl was originally only of the middle grade of the Yellow Rank. After its master died, it did not recognize its master for a long time.
Later, he chose Shen Tukun. Not only did Shen Tukun rise rapidly in the Jiuxuan Sect and become the master of Xuansha Peak, but Bingshazhu also broke through and advanced to the upper grade of Huang Rank. "Lei Xiao replied.
"I remember you said that Shentu Kun is one of the three eighth-grade true immortals in the Jiuxuan Sect now." Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
Because the backer of the Blood Evil Hall is Elder Xiao Ren of the Xuan Sha Peak, Qin Ziling has a preconceived dislike for the Xuan Sha Peak's master Shen Tu Kun.
"Yes." Lei Xiao nodded, then asked, "Why, Brother Ziling doesn't like him?"
"I can't say. I haven't seen him. But if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. We need to be careful of this person." Qin Ziling replied.
"I don't like him either. He's creepy." Lei Xiao said.
As he was speaking, Qin Ziling took Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao down from the Gangfeng layer.
After Qin Ziling descended from the Gangfeng layer, the strict security of Wuji Fairy Island was quickly lifted.
…
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder in the sky above Wuji Fairy Island. Purple lightning filled the sky, as if it was the end of the world.
"Haha, I, Lei Xiao, finally advanced!"
On top of a high mountain on the island, a girl with pigtails was waving her fists at the sky and laughing loudly.
The residence of the headmaster of Wuji Sect.
Qin Ziling opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
But immediately afterwards, Qin Ziling seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became subtle and complicated again.
The one-eyed fire dragon's big head appeared out of the void at some point.
"This girl has now successfully advanced to the upper grade of the Yellow Rank. With her help, Ran Yue can barely compete with a seventh-grade True Immortal. Below the seventh-grade True Immortal, there are few who can be her opponent. It seems that you have to find a way to improve Xiao Qing's cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a bit unfair to Xiao Qing!" said the one-eyed fire dragon.
Qin Ziling's expression became more complicated after hearing this.
After a long while, Qin Ziling sighed and said, "Ran Yue originally has a single spiritual root constitution of the thunder element. In terms of talent and foundation, she is not inferior to Xiao Qing. She also has a Taoist treasure in her hand. There is nothing I can do!"
"If a warrior wants to improve quickly, especially at the Cave Heaven Realm stage, nothing can improve him faster than a life-and-death struggle! Xiao Qing's mind is far more determined than others, and his foundation is solid, so he can fully withstand greater dangers of life and death.
You shouldn't leave her in Wuji Fairy Island anymore, but take her out to explore and experience more life and death tests. Besides, didn't I tell you that there should be a boundary weapon suitable for her somewhere in this Great Savage Sea? If you don't take her out, how can she get her chance? "said the Fire Dragon.
"What the senior said makes sense. It just so happens that I also want to go to the Juxian Sea to try my luck. It's a lawless area there, which is actually the most suitable place for me to develop. There's also the Luanmo Ridge there, which is also a great hunting ground for me to hunt high-level blood demon beasts." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said after hearing this.
The next day, Qin Ziling took Xiao Qing and left the Wuji Fairy Island on the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle.
Yin Ranyue has the Purple Thunder Staff, a top-grade yellow-rank Taoist treasure, in her hand, and can barely contend against a seventh-rank true immortal. She is also the master of Xuanting Peak, and with her in charge of Wuji Fairy Island, Qin Ziling naturally has nothing to worry about.
More than ten days later, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing were standing side by side at the bow of the boat facing the wind. Suddenly, a vortex appeared faintly between Qin Ziling's eyebrows.
A one-eyed fire dragon's head appeared from the depths of the whirlpool .
"What's wrong, senior?" Qin Ziling asked.
"I sense the fragments!" said the fire dragon.
"What?" Qin Ziling's heart was shocked, and he immediately asked, "Which direction?"
"Northwest direction, I can't sense how far it is exactly." The fire dragon replied.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling changed direction without thinking and flew quickly towards the northwest.
Over the boundless ocean, two gigantic demonic birds spread their wings and flew past.
One is a two-headed dragon eagle, and the other is a four-winged crow.
These two gigantic demon birds were both at the level of fourth-grade True Immortals. They revealed their true forms, spread their wings, and flew over the sea, making no effort to conceal their demonic aura. They swept up a monstrous demonic aura that covered the sky and the sun, with such a mighty force that it frightened the aquatic creatures on the seabed and the people on the islands on the sea, all of them became silent and dared not show their heads.
There were three people standing on each of the two-headed dragon eagle and the four-winged crow.
One person stood in front, and two others stood behind him with their hands clasped respectfully. They were followers.
The six people who came were none other than Elder Xiao Ren of Xuansha Peak and Great Elder Yan Jie of Diyou Peak. The four people standing behind them were their followers, two of them were of the third rank, and two of them were of the fourth rank.
"Brother Xiao, if we go over a million miles, we will reach the blessed land of Lingyuan Mountain. And if we go over another four or five million miles, we will reach the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain." Yan Jie said to Xiao Ren from the Four-Winged Crow.
This Yan Jie is the grand elder of Diyou Peak and Jin Zhen's master. He has been to Ziyou Palace several times and is relatively familiar with this area.
Yan Jie was very short, and was actually a dwarf just like Shan Yuan who was trapped in the underground palace of "Dahuangluo".
"Pingyu Mountain is a blessed land!" Xiao Ren's eyes flashed with murderous intent when he heard that.
"If I find out that Jin Zhen and his wife were killed by that girl Yin Ranyue, I will teach her a severe lesson!" Yan Jie said with murderous intent in his eyes.
“Hmph, Yin Ranyue is so lucky that he got the position of Peak Master, and he has become so forgetful that he even dared to send my disciples to the prison. This time I cannot kill Yin Ranyue due to the sect rules, but I must destroy the Fire Ape Nation to vent the hatred in my heart.” Xiao Ren said.
While the two were talking, a shuttle-shaped fairy boat appeared on the distant horizon.
