The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the mountains on the earth are continuous. Huge volcanoes are scattered among them. The billowing black smoke pillars are like huge black pillars connecting the sky and the earth, standing between the sky and the earth.

The air is filled with a thick smell of sulfur, and rivers of fiery red magma are meandering on the surface, emitting massive amounts of hot fire.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the horizon, illuminating the dark moment. In an instant, it flew over a large mountain range and rushed towards the depths of the endless abyss of fire.

Speeding around day and night, Zhao Sheng managed to compress the sixteen-day journey into nine days. At this time, he was very close to Qixufang.

But after so many days, Wuzhiqi, who had only one head left, had become dying, and his soul was almost in a coma.

If it were in the outside world, Wuzhiqi, a powerful person in the Fusion Realm, would never deteriorate to this extent.

However, due to the special rules of the Immortal Burial Ruins and the multiple influences of the harsh environment, a dignified Fusion Realm expert fell into a near-death state in just ten days.

In other words, Zhao Sheng is "benevolent and righteous". If he were the messenger of other divine beasts, he might have bad intentions.

Half a day later, a bolt of lightning fell into an open space beside the magma lake, and the light flashed, revealing Zhao Sheng's figure.

At this moment, he held Wu Zhiqi's head in his hand, raised his head and looked forward, just in time to see a vertical line suddenly split in the air from the sky, and quickly turned into a light gap, opening to both sides, forming a portal.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng strode in.

…

I've only been away for half a year, but when I came back it felt like a lifetime ago.

There are many shops in the market, the crowds are bustling, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining are endless.

Most of the pedestrians coming and going were gloomy and restrained, with a stern demeanor, as if they were old devils with profound knowledge in the city.

As soon as Zhao Sheng stepped into the city, he immediately became the center of attention. Everyone looked at him one after another. Pedestrians along the way hid on both sides and took the initiative to get out of the way.

Zhao Sheng walked into the street calmly and walked towards Baicaotian.

At this moment, he felt a light touch in his hand, and Wuzhi Qi, who had closed his eyes and was dying, suddenly flew into the air, his eyes suddenly opened, and two long rays of divine light shot out in an instant.

Then, the man said loudly and gratefully: "Junior Brother Kui Niu, Zhong will never forget this life-saving grace! I will repay you ten times in the future. Zhong is in urgent need of repairing his body, so he can't have a drink with his junior brother for the time being. Thank you, junior brother."

Please forgive me."

When Zhao Sheng saw this, he immediately said: "Senior brother Wuzhiqi is serious! The most important thing now is to heal senior brother's injury as soon as possible. You can drink the wine freely in the future."

"Zhong is going to heal his injuries first. After the injuries are healed, you and I will go to Xian Cuisine to stay drunk."

Zhao Sheng said with a smile: "It's a deal, we won't stop until we get drunk!"

Wuzhi Qi nodded at him and instantly turned into a stream of water, flying into the Baicaotian Gate in the blink of an eye and disappearing.

After Zhao Sheng watched the other party disappear, he looked back thoughtfully and turned to scan the entire street.

The next second, his eyes suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, and then he took steps and arrived in front of a street stall not far away.

The owner of the stall is wearing a Taoist robe of all beasts, with dark skin and a simple face. He is Bi Jie, a disciple of the Yulingxian Sect.

"Senior, are you back?" Bi Jie stood up quickly and saluted with a happy face.

"Well, have you been asked to bring me some news over there?" Zhao Sheng didn't want to waste more words and asked straight to the point.

"Yes, my uncle has asked me to send you a few jade slips for taking photos. But I just can't see you, so I have delayed it until now."

With that said, Bi Jie hurriedly took out three milky white jade slips from his sleeves and handed them over respectfully.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately took a photo of the jade slip, and released several rays of his original spiritual consciousness to penetrate into it at the same time. Suddenly, countless sounds and images rushed into his mind.

one breath,

Two breaths,

three breaths,

Zhao Sheng was in a surging mood, and his emotions changed from excitement and joy, to depression and gloom, and finally to a hint of regret.

"Has the Tianzhu Realm... declined to that point? It seems that we must go back as soon as possible. Maybe there will be a turn for the better..."

Zhao Sheng murmured to himself, then suddenly crushed one of the jade slips with a photo, and then put the remaining two into the Sumeru space.

Bi Jie was observing the words and expressions on the side, and vaguely noticed that Senior Zhao seemed to be not very interested, so he did not dare to speak randomly, and had to wait silently for Senior to inquire.

However, Zhao Sheng did not ask him what he meant. He just took out several blank jade slips and started pouring them into the jade slips in front of him.

After a while, he handed these restricted jade slips to Bi Jie, and repeatedly told him to deliver the items to Zhao Xuanjing personally as soon as possible.

In a sense, the value of these jade slips is so high that it is difficult to estimate.

The reason is very simple. The jade slip not only records Zhao Sheng's complete understanding of the five elements, thunder, time and space, light and darkness, etc., but also contains a corresponding high-level cultivation method at the end, from the Qi Refining Realm to the

Everything you need to return to the realm of virtual reality.

It can be said that any jade slip can create a large-scale immortal cultivation force, and can also be used as a treasure to suppress luck.

Zhao Sheng should not have handed over such a valuable treasure to Zhao Xuanjing through the hands of others.

However, the Taisu Spiritual Realm and the Taiyi Spiritual Realm are too far apart. Even if calculated based on the time and space of the virtual world, the distance between the two realms is at least hundreds of thousands of years.

If we were in the current time and space, this number would be two orders of magnitude larger.

His journey home is bound to be full of hardships and dangers, and he may encounter unexpected events along the way.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to send the jade slips in advance to avoid regrets in the end.

Bi Jie had a heavy responsibility, so he simply stopped setting up a street stall, confessed to Zhao Sheng, and immediately returned to the mountain gate.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly when he saw this, and soon started shopping along the street. Sometimes he would pass by a street stall and exchange one or two treasures.

However, at this time, his vision has become extremely high. It is impossible for ordinary treasures to enter his eyes. Only some unknown strange objects, high-level heaven and earth spiritual objects, law crystals, treasures carrying the Tao... and time and space treasures can

Touch his heart.

Of course, if there are high-level immortal cultivation techniques for sale, such as scriptures that lead directly to returning to the void or even higher realms.

Zhao Sheng is also very interested in them, but the probability of their appearance is so low that even if one or two similar scriptures appear, there is more than 90% chance that they are fake.

About two hours after arriving, Bijie's figure reappeared in Fangshi.

He quickly found Zhao Sheng who was wandering around and silently presented him with a jade slip.

Zhao Sheng took it and took a look, then put the jade slip under his sleeve, and then rewarded the other party with a top-quality spiritual stone.

After sending Bi Jie away, he deliberately stayed in Fangshi for a while, but was never summoned by the Immortal Lord, let alone the other divine beast disciples.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng seemed to understand something. After smiling, the figure disappeared out of thin air from the market.

…

Canglang Cave Sky, Golden Wind Jade Dew Valley.

Deep in the cave, a secret room is shrouded in a layer of colorful barriers. The light from the barrier illuminates the quiet room.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air and quietly landed on the floor of the secret room.

Zhao Sheng looked at the surrounding barrier, his eyes suddenly full of exhaustion. It was only a few years ago, but he narrowly escaped death several times. Now that he has returned to the real world, it is really sad.

boom,

At this moment, there was a sudden roar in his body, and streams of extremely pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth suddenly emerged from his limbs and bones. The spiritual energy was actually mixed with traces of high-level origin energy, which surprised him.

As the spiritual thoughts swept through the body, countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth were transformed into drops of "mana" that returned to the void, and then integrated into every part of the body. Most of the mana also flowed into the Dantian Qi sea, improving the cultivation level little by little.

Those higher source energy transform into more original "mana", just like rain falling into the dry land and blending into the depths of billions of cells.

This continuous refining process lasted for nine days and nine nights. After the refining was completed, Zhao Sheng's cultivation reached the late stage of the first level of Void Return in one breath, directly saving him thirty years of hard work.

After being promoted and returning to the void, it is not surprising that the cultivation of immortal cultivators becomes increasingly slow and arduous. They are often stuck in the same realm for hundreds or thousands of years, and may even be stuck there for the rest of their lives.

Because when you reach the realm of returning to the virtual world, the amount of spiritual energy from the outside world is no longer important. What matters is your understanding of the laws of the Tao and the degree of compatibility between yourself and the Tao you cultivate.

If the understanding and conformity are not enough, their cultivation will always stay at the current state. After all, the return to virtual state is the second step of the nine steps of the great road, and this step has ten times more stringent requirements for practitioners.

According to his personal understanding, since returning to the Void Realm, every breakthrough in the realm is undoubtedly a "break and then establish".

The so-called "break and then establish" does not refer to the specific cultivation level, but refers to the "break and then establish" in Taoism, which is a deeper and newer understanding of the laws of the Tao.

Since his practice, Zhao Sheng has already formed a personal practice style. He has transformed his own path of "breaking and then establishing" into the gradual process of the true text of the Great Way of Thunder.

Since ancient times, there is only one avenue, and there are thousands of teachings!

From the time I comprehended the first article on Thunder to the present, this "Thunder" pattern has "transformed" five times in a row.

In other words, Zhao Sheng has mastered five true texts of the Great Way with the word "Thunder". Each of them is different, but they all belong to the "embodiment" of the Great Way of Thunder.

It can be said that as long as there is enough high-level Origin Qi, Zhao Sheng can improve his cultivation to the fifth level of Void Return in one breath.

It's just that because the time to break through and return to the void is too short, he doesn't want to be too "conspicuous", so he is in no rush to improve his cultivation.

After he sets foot on his return journey, it will not be too late for him to speed up his cultivation.

In addition, the golden muscle and jade bone, as a symbol of the materialization of magic power, is also an important symbol of the cultivation of the half-immortal who returns to the void. Each evolution of it means great progress in one's Taoism.

Zhao Sheng has just returned to the first level of virtual cultivation, and his body of golden flesh and jade bones is just beginning. He can't see much magic, only the radiance of his will is seven or eight times "brighter" than when he was in the God Transformation Realm.

…

Roar~

Three years later, a dull roar suddenly came from the secret room, and "ripples" appeared in the void. Then a majestic and violent aura suddenly erupted. In an instant, the surrounding wards shook violently and flickered sharply, as if at any time
