Chapter 118 Human Tribulation, The Way of the Old Sheep (8k)
If you don't understand, just ask. There is a boss next to you who knows much more. Yu Ziqing never feels ashamed of not knowing anything. It is only shameful that he doesn't want to ask if he doesn't know anything.
He repeated Ao Qing's words to Lao Yang.
The two chatted for a while, and then Yu Ziqing realized that Laoyang had just sensed the broken jade slip, and there was a delay of an hour, and the sense was not clear.
That jade slip was made by Yu Ziqing based on the theory of the soul lamp. The information it can convey is similar to that of the soul lamp. The soul lamp can only be extinguished by the lamp. Knowing that the owner of the soul lamp is dead, the jade slip can only sense.
The jade slips were broken.
But this kind of benefit is the same as the soul lamp. According to the existing records, the extinguishing of the soul lamp cannot be suppressed.
The death of the body and the extinguishing of the lamp are a mysterious connection that transcends space and comes directly from the soul.
The broken message of the jade slip is also a connection across space. It is not as good as the serious soul lamp, but it is also difficult to suppress.
To be able to convey information, it is just a matter of numbering and presetting what each numbered jade slip means.
Even so, it almost didn't get passed on.
When Ao Qing was young, he was already very talented.
It's a pity that Yu Ziqing has the seventh floor ring.
"That's probably it. Whether I can help him or not does not depend on the benefits, but on whether what he said is true, and whether this is the whole truth, rather than the kind of thing where 90% of what he says is true and the rest is the truth.
Let’s not talk about it coming true.
I know that everything is true, but if you don't tell the whole story, the meaning is completely different.
Of course, the matter of the mausoleum is not important to us.
I just want to ask you, what exactly are you doing here this time?
Now that you're here, I think the evil dragon may not live long."
"Eighty percent." Lao Yang muttered in a deep voice.
"What eighty percent?"
"I feel that what I want to do has an 80% chance of success.
Yes, I came here just for that evil dragon. At first, I felt that I was only 30% sure.
But now, slowly, I feel that the chances are getting higher and higher.
Ever since that evil dragon became arrogant and domineering and tore apart the calamity cloud, I knew that the evil dragon was about to meet the calamity, and you, me, Lou Huai, and even Ao Qing would be his calamity."
Yu Ziqing was slightly startled.
Suddenly, cold hairs stood up all over my body, and I couldn't help but feel that someone was controlling everything.
For ninth-level monks, the ninth level of Qi refining is called the Three Tribulation Realm.
Every step forward will be accompanied by disasters, but disasters also have different strengths and types.
Thunder Tribulation is only the second and most direct, and in most cases, the power is the lowest. Of course, this is only in most cases, the frontal power is the highest. In fact, it is also classified into Thunder Tribulation.
But there is another kind, which is called human robbery.
Unfathomable, unpredictable, unpredictable in power, and unknown in effect.
Now that he heard Lao Yang's words, Yu Ziqing immediately understood that these words were probably true.
The accumulation of that evil dragon has reached the point of anger and resentment, and all heaven and earth have come together to kill him.
A man, a monster, a devil.
Or from another perspective, there is a hungry ghost who is not a hungry ghost, a sheep demon who is not a sheep demon, and a demon who is not a demon.
Coupled with Ao Qing himself, if these are regarded as disasters, the evil dragon may never wake up again.
"Don't think this matter is easy. Even if he is regarded as a human being, he still has no chance.
Since it is a catastrophe, it is possible to survive it. There is no catastrophe that leads to death and no life. There will always be a glimmer of hope in everything. It depends on whether he can find it.
Now I'm going pretty smoothly, and so are you.
It's not because of our luck, you must remember this.
It’s just because of that evil dragon’s misfortune.”
Lao Yang said it very solemnly. He was afraid that Yu Ziqing would think that it was their good fortune that was responsible for them, which was very dangerous.
Yu Ziqing nodded, indicating that I understand.
"Don't worry, I've always done what I can, and I will only try if I can do it, or if I can do it with a lot of effort.
I come to ask you, mainly because I am worried that what I do will affect what you want to do now.
Oh, by the way, can you tell me what you are going to do now?"
"If you say it before you succeed, it will become a flaw." Lao Yang shook his head decisively.
"What you do will not affect me, but what I want to do will affect you. If what Ao Qing said is true, then what we both do together may indeed make you put him
Bring it out, just bring it out. After all, true dragons are born from heaven and earth. It would be a pity if their descendants were just annihilated. Just do what you can."
"Well, be careful and prioritize your own affairs. You don't have to worry about this. If there is a chance, take him out. If there is no chance, there is nothing I can do."
"Be careful when things happen, believe in yourself, and don't trust others too much." Lao Yang warned again.
"How long will it take you here?"
"At least a year."
"Then I understand."
After logging off, Yu Ziqing opened his eyes and looked at Ao Qing opposite.
Ao Qing was neither arrogant nor impetuous, eating the spiritual fruit and waiting quietly.
After burying himself here, he had enough patience. He knew that there was no point in rushing.
"Do you want all of your spirituality to go out, or do you just want the first level of you and the current you to go out?"
"If it is possible, I would naturally want more. If things cannot be done, then I can keep as much as I can."
"I understand." Yu Ziqing nodded.
He put aside a lot of things and re-examined the matter. He always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't catch it for the moment.
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
Lao Yang was doing things in an orderly manner, so he didn't need to be in such a hurry.
After standing up, he began to close his eyes and practice the maze footwork.
This step is used as a key to enter and exit the mausoleum, which is a bit wasteful. It is very useful when used in actual combat, especially in close combat with others.
Of course, there is another point. He is not a secret key to cultivation. When entering and exiting, you have to go through the entire set of steps in one breath before you can enter the next level.
If danger came, it would take him a long time to open the door, and he would have been beaten to death.
He now needs to reverse the steps and practice them again, at least until he is proficient, and his body can automatically follow the rhythm without having to think about it in his mind, and walk through the entire set of steps as quickly as possible.
When in danger, at least you can run away.
Yu Ziqing has always been serious about life-saving things.
Once you get used to it through practice, it becomes a bit difficult in reverse, and your footwork becomes stumbling.
But it doesn't matter, you can take your time.
In the past, I could spend a year building armor, but now I can naturally spend some time practicing life-saving things.
Ao Qing was just watching, and Yu Ziqing pretended that he didn't exist and was practicing on his own.
Time passed bit by bit, and Yu Ziqing went from stumbling at the beginning to practicing forward and backward at will, and could walk out of the steps at will at any time.
Half a year later, Yu Ziqing's figure was like a flicker, flashing back and forth in the palace, walking through the crowd, and still not encountering anyone. In three breaths, he could circle around the complex palace.
One lap without losing speed or hitting anything.
Stopping, Yu Ziqing let out a long breath.
In a short period of time, this has been the limit.
It takes three breaths to walk forward, but it's faster to walk backwards, taking just over two breaths.
No matter how fast it is, it cannot be done within a year.
It's almost time now. The footwork has been integrated into the instinct of the physical body. Before the brain can react, the physical body can already react first.
"I'll go to the next floor and have a look. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Be careful with everything. If it doesn't work, forget it." Ao Qing took out a box from the palace and placed it in front of Yu Ziqing.
"This is all the things I have left here, including the inheritance that can be rubbed. Some can be practiced by humans, and some cannot. You can also use it as a reference. There is no use for me to keep it. If there is no chance this time,
There won’t be any anymore, just take them all, success or failure, no matter what the result is, I can accept it.”
Yu Ziqing looked at Ao Qing's sullen face, always serious and solemn, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If you put him in the human race, he would be just a ten-year-old child.
It is a pity that he has never lived a life that a child should have, and his life is more tiring than most monks.
Yu Ziqing looked at the box.
"Stay here for now. You can get money before you do any work. You can get it even if you can't do it. Although it's quite cool, it depends on the situation."
Yu Ziqing wanted to pick up things that had no owners, but things that had owners and required work to get, sometimes Yu Ziqing didn't really want.
He didn't look at the treasures there, fearing that he would be tempted to collect them first.
He took a step forward and his figure turned into an afterimage, disappearing instantly.
After more than two breaths, he disappeared from this layer.
Ao Qing stared blankly at Yu Ziqing's disappearing figure. He recognized it as a forward step.
"What a strange person..."
As he said that, Ao Qing laughed. He sat there, took a spiritual fruit and started to chew it. The smile on his serious face finally made him look like an old antique.
More like what a child should look like.
People around him gathered around and looked at Ao Qing.
"It will be difficult for him to succeed."
"It doesn't matter." Ao Qing shook his head and smiled happily: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will be very happy. Even if I die, I will not blame anyone. This is my life."
All these people were transformed by his spirituality. Because he had to avoid the patrolling sea monsters transformed by the cursed power, he dispersed his spirituality, turned them into murals, and hid them in every corner of the palace he was most familiar with.
Even if some are killed, there are still others.
These people were all people he had met before.
He didn't understand the scattered spirits, and Ao Qing didn't explain them. He gnawed on Yu Ziqing's favorite spirit fruit and was still very happy.
Because from the moment he opened his eyes, everyone was teaching him something.
His true dragon bloodline does not belong to himself, but to the entire dragon clan, and the hope of the entire dragon clan rests on him.
He was about to be overwhelmed by the despair that he could understand and feel when he opened his eyes. Coupled with the responsibilities that kept pressing on him, he was a little breathless.
Everyone has a purpose, including those who were lucky enough to enter the tomb.
They all have their own purposes, whether it's for treasures, or for secret techniques, or the more daring ones, to take everything into their hands.
This was the first time he saw Yu Ziqing, someone he clearly wanted but still refused.
His spirituality is so high that he can clearly feel it. Yu Ziqing actually has no confidence at all. He just wants him to relax at the last moment, not to be so serious, and not to be so tired. When he is about to die,
I can feel something that a ten-year-old child should be able to feel.
Yu Ziqing really regarded him as a ten-year-old child.
Rather than true dragon bloodline.
This made Ao Qing very happy, so happy that he couldn't help himself. He even laughed out loud when he bit into a spiritual fruit.
He did feel the simple happiness that a child should have.
After chewing the spiritual fruit, Ao Qing lay down, rolled around wildly, fluttered with short arms and legs, and screamed meaninglessly.
He unscrupulously grasped the trace of happiness he had never experienced before and refused to let go. The obsession in his heart slowly dissipated.
It wasn't that he didn't care before, he just accepted his fate.
Now he is really letting go.
The sirens standing around looked at Ao Qing's appearance, were stunned, and then started laughing together.
That trace of happiness was contagious among the spirits. Everyone was like a retard, waving their arms happily, singing and dancing, and some imitated Ao Qing and rolled happily.
The light shining down from the sky seems to be getting brighter at this moment.
…
Entering the mausoleum on the next floor, the first thing Yu Ziqing felt was pressure, huge pressure.
The Golden Water Yin Escape moves on its own, relieving the pressure. When you open your eyes, you will see an erupting submarine volcano.
The billowing black smoke kept rushing upwards. At the foot of the huge volcano, a group of Hai Clan buildings had been submerged by the magma. Only a few taller buildings were exposed above the obsidian.
This place is filled with deathly silence and despair. The volcano, with its constantly erupting magma, carries a strong sense of violence. It seems that there is endless anger that can never be vented.
This is where Ao Qing buried his twenty-year-old self.
Seeing this, Yu Ziqing understood that he might have only buried himself three times, and he would never be able to bury himself a fourth time.
If he succeeds, there will be no evil dragon outside.
Everything here seemed to be sensing something. The eruption of the volcano suddenly became intense. The sea floor was trembling. The continuously overflowing magma suddenly turned into a pillar of fire and erupted from the crater, boiling the surrounding seawater on the spot.
In the magma, each one's body was glowing red, as if the magma had gathered to form a ferocious monster and came out, densely packed and shoulder to shoulder.
They converged into a torrent from the crater and swooped down.
Immediately afterwards, a huge arm of magma stretched out from the crater. Just the arm almost filled the entire crater.
Yu Ziqing looked at the desolation and deathly silence around him and sighed secretly.
It's over here.
In the mausoleum on the upper floor, he could still see many spiritual things, but here, he didn't see any of them.
No wonder many people who were able to come in before never went back.
The small monsters transformed from the magma are all at level four or five, and the big monster that only has one arm currently appears is at least level seven, and maybe even level eight.
And those who can enter here must be people with perfect cultivation.
Low-level cultivation is the easiest to achieve perfection. If Yu Ziqing had advanced to the fifth level early in the morning, he might not have been able to get in because his fourth-level cultivation was not yet complete.
But he could actually advance to the fifth level a long time ago.
By analogy, no one who has ever entered here is very powerful.
It's very unlikely to have an eighth-level one, and even less likely to have a ninth-level one.
If you can practice to the level of self-perfection at the eighth level and enter the ninth level with the bottleneck dissipated, this kind of boss will have great hope of advancing to the tenth level.
As far as Yu Ziqing knows, there is no such person.
Moreover, even if there is such a big boss, he will not appear here.
Feeling the anger contained in the trembling volcano, Yu Ziqing evaluated himself and rushed forward first.
After he took the magic pill, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
He collided head-on with a monster at the front. Yu Ziqing resisted the blow. The flames and huge force slid along his skin. One of his hands was inserted into the opponent's body, and the energy of Guishui surged out.
.
In an instant, the little monster's body was steaming with heat, and his body quickly became stiff, and finally turned into an obsidian sculpture.
As Yu Ziqing withdrew his hand, the sculpture collapsed and turned into rubble all over the ground.
Yu Ziqing looked at the heart held in his palm. It was like magma burning with flames. The surrounding seawater was boiling continuously, and the heart slowly cooled and solidified. After the black shell on the surface shattered and fell, it turned into a dark red heart.
gem.
Yu Ziqing put it away, silently estimated his own strength, and turned into an afterimage, swimming in the sea, constantly killing monsters one after another.
After collecting dozens of gems, I looked towards the crater.
The big monster that was still struggling to rush out had already stretched out its second arm. The crater was being squeezed, and it was constantly deforming and collapsing. His aura was getting stronger and stronger.
It's almost time to go.
He is no match for that big monster.
As soon as his thoughts changed, more than two breaths later, Yu Ziqing's figure disappeared from where he was.
Furious roars came from the volcano, the sea water was boiling, and a large number of bubbles, wrapped in black smoke, rushed to the sea surface.
Inside the volcano, where the magma is rolling, there is a magma monster thousands of feet high, roaring furiously.
"ha……"
A chuckle came.
On the inner wall of the volcano, there was a young man whose whole body was restrained, laughing.
There wasn't much flesh and blood left on his body, and his original appearance could only be seen on his face, but only a layer of skin remained.
Under the head, there was only a skeleton left, which was still preserved under the burning of magma.
The big monster put his head over, looked at the young man, and punched him.
The young man tilted his head, a trace of skin on his face fell off, fell into the magma and turned to ashes, but he still had a smile on his face.
"You didn't expect that this time, the person who came here turned out to be a person who was completely possessed by the devil, but could still maintain himself. Moreover, he was also a physical practitioner who had cultivated the Qi of Guishui.
Those little minions you created are simply vulnerable to him.
Hahaha……"
The young man laughed loudly, causing the monster to punch him several more times.
With the bombardment of monsters, it was seen that the inner wall of the volcano gradually thickened, and the crater, which had been slightly expanded, also gradually became smaller.
The young man raised his head and looked at the monster with eyes that immediately became disdainful.
"Let me remind you again, it is not you who has trapped me, but I have trapped you. You can do anything, but if I completely disappear, you will be completely buried.
Forget it, if you, a monster transformed by a curse, had a brain, you wouldn't fall into my trap."
The young man closed his eyes and ignored the monster.
The monster was filled with rage and had no way to vent it. He wanted to vent his anger on the young man again, but he was afraid that the crater would get smaller and smaller until it would completely bury him.
In the end, the monster could only randomly catch some mobs bathing in the magma and crush them to death one by one to vent their anger.
On the other side, Yu Ziqing returned to the mausoleum on the second floor again.
He glanced at Ao Qing, who was lying on the ground with his limbs spread out.
"What are you doing...?"
Ao Qing got up without changing his expression. He looked at Yu Ziqing first. After finding that Yu Ziqing was not injured, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"Can you tell me what you saw on the next floor?"
Yu Ziqing described it carefully, and Ao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, that monster won't be able to get out for a while. He was trapped by the twenty-year-old me, and the volcano was where he was trapped.
However, it also trapped the twenty-year-old me, and it is impossible to rescue the twenty-year-old me unless we deal with that monster."
After saying that, looking at Yu Ziqing's appearance, Ao Qing immediately said seriously.
"You don't have to go anymore. At the age of twenty, I am already ready to bury everything there."
"Don't worry, I think I can give it a try. Those monsters seem to be like demons, but they are not demons. It's not difficult to kill the little ones, but the big monster is a bit difficult. I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I
Nor will I overestimate my capabilities.”
Yu Ziqing was about to leave, but when he heard that the volcano was not actually the monster's lair, but something that trapped it, Yu Ziqing had some ideas.
The cores of those monsters are forcibly cooled, and the gems formed contain very strong power.
It fits well with another physical cultivation method prepared by Yu Ziqing.
Earth, fire and sun escape.
This is a body training method corresponding to the Jin Shui Yin Escape. It was first handed down from ancient times. Who was the original founder is unknown, but it has been widely spread.
A method with a very low lower limit and a very high upper limit.
As for the power contained in those gems, Yu Ziqing felt that they were particularly suitable and he could give them a try.
If possible, even if twenty-year-old Ao Qing cannot be saved, at least he will gain something else.
…
The old sheep shuttles through the evil dragon's body, constantly searching.
Several months passed, and he finally found what he was looking for by following the cracks corroded by some dead energy.
The evil dragon is already dead, but it can rely on devouring blood to add oil to the lamp and ignite the last glimmer of life. Then there must be a part of his body that is not completely dead.
When the heart was found, it was completely infected with death energy, and it was the place with the strongest death energy.
The old sheep in turn looked for a place where the death energy was not so strong. Slowly, he finally found a piece of the dragon's liver that still contained life.
The vitality there is firmly resisting the death energy, and any death energy that penetrates will be dissolved by the small part of the liver that has not been completely necrotic.
The old sheep did not touch the piece of liver, but found a piece of endothelium nearby that was still alive.
He opened his mouth and spit out, took out a sharp stone knife made from a jade tomb, stood up, held the stone knife between his hooves, and carefully cut that part of the inner skin.
The stone knife containing the power of death matches the death energy here, etching the inner skin bit by bit and cutting it off.
Soon, a piece of inner skin the size of a person was completely peeled off. At the moment when the surrounding death energy wanted to erode the inner skin, the old sheep came to the vicinity of the small part of the liver that contained vitality.
The surrounding vitality blocks out all the death energy.
The old sheep looked at this inner skin and let out a sigh of relief.
He stayed here, took out a large amount of materials, and while the vitality of the inner skin was still alive, he continued to write runes one by one, completely imprinting them into the inner skin.
Weird runes are written on the inside, while dragon patterns are written entirely on the other side.
As time passed, the thin inner skin slowly changed its appearance, turning into a dragon skin with no head or tail, and dragon patterns like dragon scales.
The old sheep's eyes turned into human eyes, and he looked at the dragon skin solemnly, muttering to himself.
"After all, I have learned from Ziqing and become more and more daring..."
Yu Ziqing wanted a backer, and a ninth-level physical practitioner was not enough.
Therefore, Laoyang plans to find another backer for Yu Ziqing.
But it’s just a ninth-level goat demon, which is too much.
He couldn't take it.
Then take one step and find a trustworthy ninth-level dragon for Yu Ziqing.
The old sheep stroked the dragon skin and his eyes became firmer.
He likes the current Jinlan Mountain very much. Yu Ziqing is maintaining Jinlan Mountain, accumulating information for Jinlan Mountain, and making connections. These are things that Lao Yang cannot do.
His identity means that he cannot go out and run around, otherwise if he is met again by someone he was familiar with before and becomes familiar with him again, his identity may be exposed.
That is a huge threat to Jinlan Mountain.
Therefore, what he can do is to find a truly strong person as a backer for Jin Lanshan.
A ninth-level dragon clan, plus a ninth-level physical practitioner who has awakened the magical powers of the ten directions, should be barely enough.
The thoughts are pure, unwavering, and there will be no regrets until death.
The old sheep picked up the dragon skin and put it on himself without hesitation.
A mental method derived from the method of making animals.
It's turned on.
The next moment, the dragon skin was seen shrinking, completely wrapping the old sheep inside.
The old sheep gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and accepted it motionlessly.
He was able to transform into a sheep demon that was not a sheep demon, which took the most solid step and verified the correctness of this path.
Then of course you can continue to follow this path, jumping from the simplest sheep demon to the dragon clan, which is not the most difficult but about the same.
After all, the innate gap between goats and dragons is really too big. Even if they are of the same level, the gap will be like a chasm, insurmountable.
All the bones in his body were broken, and his internal organs were also squeezed and broken.
But it doesn't matter. He just looks like a goat and has the same structure as a goat. In fact, he is not a goat.
With this level of brokenness, he would not be able to die given the state he had only reached by practicing every day.
Slowly, the dragon skin shrank completely and turned into a ball. The ball slowly changed its shape, slowly elongated, and slowly turned into the shape of a dragon.
A few days later, one end of the dragon skin was damaged and two small holes appeared, and two small horns poked out.
Then on the abdomen, four small claws curled up in a ball also pierced the dragon's skin and stretched out.
A few days later, a young dragon as tall as a person was already lying on the same spot. He closed his eyes tightly and slowly moved his body, coiling himself into a snake formation.
Every time he breathed in, clouds began to appear.
The power of the fusion of demonic aura and evil aura began to be constantly re-refined with his breathing.
The small dragon horns began to grow, and fine scales began to grow on the soft claws.
Using the method of animal creation and in-depth reverse engineering to transform into a dragon is far more difficult than transforming into a goat.
And having already completed it for the first time, and even using the power of heaven and earth to completely transform, is only a necessary prerequisite.
A person cannot become a dragon. Only a demon that has been recognized by heaven and earth and has never appeared before, and has walked a similar path, can have a chance.
And what Laoyang has learned throughout his life, being a Taoist and accumulating Taoism throughout his life, all come into play at this moment.
Let that deep transformation move forward slowly but surely.
After Lao Yang's aura returned to the sixth level, the environment here could no longer accommodate his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, a pair of deep and intelligent eyes, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into majestic vertical pupils.
A unique coercion that can only be found in dragons slowly emerged.
He lay there, rested quietly for a moment, and contacted Yu Ziqing again.
"Are you still in the tomb over there?"
"Yeah, I've been to the third floor, but I can't defeat the monsters there.
But I found that the monsters there have a core of power in them, which is particularly suitable for practicing Earth Fire Yang Escape. I have already started here.
How's it going over there?"
Lao Yang thought for a moment that his bones were broken, his internal organs were all cracked and shattered, and he almost died, but he still said it lightly.
"It's a little rough, but overall it's going pretty well. After a month, I have something going on here and I need your help. Then you can just leave the mausoleum and wait."
"Oh, okay."
After Lao Yang got off the line, he took a look at the piece of the evil dragon's liver that was still alive, took out a stone knife, cut off half of it, and put it away.
Then it swam out of the dragon's mouth.
A thin layer of black mist enveloped the evil dragon's head, still sleeping.
As if sensing something, the black mist created a slight ripple.
"Calm down, it's me, don't make any mistakes. The most critical moment is next. You will have a big opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have a chance to truly take the right path in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lou Huai immediately stabilized his position and tried his best to make the sleeping dragon continue to sleep.
When Lou Huai sensed a dragon swimming out of the evil dragon's mouth, he almost peed in fear.
He thought the old sheep was doomed.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my mouth, I realized that the dragon was Lao Yang.
Lou Huai had never seen such a battle before. There was no such thing in his inheritance.
He dared to swear on his own righteousness that what he saw in front of him was definitely a dragon and could not be an illusion.
