Dark clouds hovered in the sky, and the thunder was full of thunder, but it did not crash loudly, but as the generals of the cave sky sang the rhymes of the scriptures, they transformed bit by bit, and the twelve iron nails were sacrificed in the altar.
The iron nails glowed with dazzling light, and Zhao Mi seemed to be standing still, but in fact, he was fractal-changing around the altar, walking around the altar, channeling the evil energy, and using his profound and mysterious magic power to control the swift and unparalleled power of thunder.
The iron nail was gradually transformed by the sacrifice, and when the work was completed, the iron nail itself was destroyed by the power of thunder and turned directly into a puddle of residue.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Shu had no choice but to restrain his magic power and let the power of thunder disperse to the heaven and earth. Thunder rumbled in the clouds and heavy rain fell on the mountains and rivers. The magic urn returned the officials to the cave.
After removing the altar rituals, Zhao Shu sighed secretly, flew away, and returned to Baihua Valley after a while.
Seeing that his face was not happy, Miao Saluo asked: "Failed again?"
Zhao Shu nodded slightly: "It seems that the refining of the God-killing Nail is more difficult than I expected. I originally wanted to start with the Heavenly Thunder. After all, I am also proficient in the Thunder Arrow. In the end, the two attempts to refine it failed."
"Don't be impatient." Miaosaluo comforted him and said, "You forced Qianxun Orochi back before, but he hasn't shown up for half a year, and the Snake Luo tribe has also gone into hiding."
The confrontation test in the mining village made Zhao Shu and Qianxun Orochi aware of each other's strength, and neither of them dared to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. On the contrary, it temporarily calmed down the depths of the southern soil.
During these days, Zhao Shu was still focused on refining the God-killing Nail, but the results were not as expected. He found that he was unable to cause the three natural disasters.
And this is precisely because Zhao Shu has now reached the realm of the immortal family that can control the sky and the earth, and there is no incompatibility between his body's atmosphere and the creation of heaven and earth, so the three disasters can be far away.
For the first time, Zhao Shu was worried that his cultivation was too advanced. However, whether it was his distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang or his teacher Zhang Duanjing, their cultivation was far from reaching the level that would cause three disasters, but they had all used rituals and rituals to mobilize them.
The use of disaster energy shows that there are still some subtleties that Zhao Shu failed to fully understand.
Although he knew that the Qianxun Orochi was contrary to the creation of heaven and earth, thus causing the Buxing catastrophe, Zhao Shu himself had no way of imitating it.
Fortunately, Zhao Shui is well-informed and can ask others if he can't figure it out.
"Three calamities?"
In the Yanglanze of the Eastern Land, Zhao Shui found the two deities of Yuanji who had been suppressed by him. Zhenren Shen and Gui Shaojun transformed into boatmen and boat girls to ferry people to and from the country. This was the punishment Zhao Shui gave them, and also
Let them accumulate their merits.
"That's right." Zhao Shu asked while sitting on the boat: "I heard that when a real dragon ascends to the Heavenly Gate, it will almost without exception experience three disasters, so I want to find out what the mystery is."
The couple looked at each other, and Gui Shaojun was the first to answer: "It is often extremely difficult for races in the world to transform into dragons. They have to take advantage of the creation of heaven and earth, especially the transformation of living creatures."
"I generally know these things, which are to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. How to seize them specifically?" Zhao Shu was puzzled.
Gui Shaojun hesitated slightly, but Master Shen said: "The simplest way is to refine the inner elixir or vitality essence of other monsters."
Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, and Shen Zhenren continued: "Zhao Daoyou is proficient in talismans. You should know that superior talisman seals can deduce the types of objects, copy true shapes, and fit the wonders of the endless life of the Tao. But not everyone is as proficient as Zhao Daoyou.
Since the talisman method cannot be deduced, we can prove it from the tangible and qualitative body."
Zhao Shu understood clearly: "The inner elixir not only contains the pure vitality of monsters, but also contains the transformation ability of monsters to transcend their original race. As long as enough monster inner elixirs are refined, not only the cultivation and mana can be improved, but also the effects on living beings can be improved.
The understanding of the evolution of species can also be refined accordingly, and eventually transform into a dragon."
"That's right." Shen Zhenren nodded cautiously.
"This kind of cultivation method is too cold and cruel." Zhao Shu frowned slightly.
Gui Shaojun did not dare to look directly at Zhao Shu, but just said: "Although there is a Shuifu sect in the East China Sea, the water area is vast and not controlled by human laws. There are countless aquatic creatures. Among them, those who are accomplished in psychics can still be expected to learn from them.
Be a human being?”
"I understand what you mean." Zhao Shu said: "It's just that this kind of cultivation method completely robs the essence of heaven and earth for oneself. It is ordinary for the creatures in the world to be born to die. However, if they want to ascend to transcendence, they must return the plundered essence of the past.
Occupy, this is the reason why the real dragon experienced the three disasters of heaven and earth. This is the law of nature, and no one can get rid of it."
"What? Are you planning to seek a chance to atone for your sins?" Zhao Mianran asked.
Shen Zhenren replied: "We are ignorant and offended, and we should be punished. If Zhao Daoyou needs my help, the two of us will never refuse."
Zhao Shu suddenly laughed: "You two and a bunch of Donghai masters are no match for me, so why do you think you can help me?"
Master Shen was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "We can ask the dragon king from heaven to come down to earth to help."
Zhao Shu's expression became subtle: "It seems that when you are in Yanglanze, you are not just ferrying people by boat."
"We dare not hide it." Shen Zhenren said: "After learning about the defeat in the East China Sea, all the Dragon Lords have no intention of confronting fellow Daoist Zhao. They are also considering the matter of jointly opening a heavenly court."
"Real dragons are unruly and untamed. You Dragon Lords will never bear this in mind." Zhao Shu smiled faintly: "I took the initiative to show my sincerity. I guess you expected that I would come to you. Tell me, what conditions do you Dragon Lords have?"
Shen Zhenren said: "Dragon Lord hopes that the immortals in heaven will release the dragon species that are still restrained."
Zhao Shu frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
"Since ancient times, there have been many attempts by the Immortal Family to tame spiritual birds and auspicious beasts, including dragons and phoenixes." Shen Zhenren replied: "For example, when Xuan Ju, who caused trouble in the lower world, tamed a real dragon as his vehicle, it was because he was restrained by the Immortal Family.
, they have no choice but to invade the world together."
"What a last resort!" Zhao Shu laughed and said: "In the past, evil dragons caused trouble, even more than Xuanju. They caused trouble and floods wherever they passed. Most of the killings caused by Xuanju were related to evil dragons. This is why it happened.
It attracted people from all over the world to join forces to kill him. You must know that the name of the battle that year was 'Slaying the Dragon', and it was not made up out of thin air."
"There is nothing wrong with the evil dragon being killed." Shen Zhenren said: "But in this case, it is even more important to seek a way to live in peace with each other. Fellow Daoist Zhao wants to live a long and happy life, and he does not want to be bound by others, let alone take responsibility for others.
Mount."
Zhao Shu did not respond immediately. He did hear that in the past, some immortal masters tamed spiritual birds and auspicious beasts as mounts, among which dragon taming was the highest level. This was even regarded as a magical power of the Xian family. Zhao Shu
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
But now the real dragon came to his door, saying that he didn't want to ride for others, which posed a big problem for Zhao Shu.
The fairy family's practice of taming a dragon as a mount was once hailed as a good story, but it proves that the ascended true dragon is not an earthly beast. Other true dragons may not be able to accept it, and may even regard it as a shame.
"Not to mention that I have not yet proven the way of immortality, why should I ask other immortals to release the dragon species?" Zhao Shu asked rhetorically.
Zhenren Shen replied: "That's what the Dragon Lords told you. I didn't ask more about the reason."
Although Zhenren Shen did not say it clearly, judging from the fact that he knew that the immortals wanted to open a heaven, he should be able to guess some of the mysteries of the immortal family.
"I am not the one who can make the decision on this matter. Please stay here for the time being." Zhao Shu left a talisman and said, "If I make a decision, I will naturally inform you."
…
"Return the real dragon?"
In the Baihua Valley, Jiang Yingke and Zhao Shu sat across from each other, drinking tea and admiring the flowers in a leisurely manner. When Jiang Yingke heard Zhao Shu mentioning the requirements of the Dragon Lords, Jiang Yingke couldn't help but smile:
"They didn't plan this for a day or two. They knew they couldn't save people from us, so they planned to make friends with you, the future Emperor of Heaven. In this way, not only will all the Dragon Lords have a place in the Heavenly Court, but they will also gain power due to the return of the dragons.
Multiply.”
Zhao Shu nodded slightly, but then changed the topic: "It's just that what these Dragon Lords think about are worldly forces, and they regard Heaven as a place where political parties play with each other and party members are united against dissidents. Even if they want to jointly open Heaven, they are still thinking about how to make arrangements in advance.
It seems like this can keep you in a high position."
"Then what do you think?" Jiang Yingke asked.
"Personally, I don't like these dragon kings." Zhao Shu said: "But their existence is a manifestation of the creation of heaven and earth. No matter whether it is a wild jungle or a vast ocean, there are always things that human nature cannot reach.
Land. In these places, it is normal to compete with each other for the survival and reproduction of the species."
"In other words, the strong are respected." Jiang Yingke said with a smile: "But if you look at it this way, those dragon kings must have recognized your ability, and they reluctantly agreed to open the heaven."
Zhao Shu showed a puzzled expression, and Jiang Yingke reminded: "This is not a compliment. Although you have not achieved immortality, if it is a real battle of skills, there are not many immortals in the sky, Dragon Lord, who can defeat you. At least I am not you.
opponent."
"Senior is too modest." Zhao Shu said.
Jiang Yingke waved his hand and said: "Do you think I'm joking? I don't know the weight of Xuanpu Hall's inheritance yet? If I ran into that Qianxun snake, I would still have to take a detour. But not everyone is like you.
, those who deliberately want to eliminate evil and do all their evil deeds, and out of sight are the states of mind of most immortals."
Ever since Zhao Shu confirmed his achievements and established himself in the world, in terms of magic power alone, he has almost no rivals against people with similar cultivation levels. Moreover, Zhao Shu, unlike other Qing cultivators, has been involved in worldly killings all year round. Over time, he has also changed.
You have to know how to fight.
Although this is due to the strife in the world since the end of Tianxia, and there are not a few monks who are proficient in fighting in the world today, there may be no one who can compare with Zhao Shu in terms of cultivation level and magical achievements.
Even Liang Tao did not have the power of Zhao Shu before he finally ascended to the throne. In other words, Zhao Shu is now one of the tops of Kunlun.
It's just that Zhao Shu has no vanity. The main problem now is Qianxun Orochi.
"Looking at you like this, you seem to be helpless against Qianxun Orochi?" Jiang Yingke asked.
Zhao Shu said frankly: "The Qianxun snake is difficult to kill. It will have to use three natural disasters to destroy its body and soul."
"Are you planning to take the initiative to bring down the heavenly calamity?" Jiang Yingke asked.
"The God-Killing Nail, I think the seniors also know the use of this thing." Zhao Shu said: "My distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang refined this thing back then, maybe his original intention was to use it to deal with the Qianxun Orochi. But I tried to refine the God-Killing Nail,
But no results have been seen yet.”
Jiang Yingke said: "The Tianxia Dynasty's praise officer was able to refine the God-killing Nail. In addition to the gradual spread of laws and regulations and the momentum, it also benefited from the Tianxia Dynasty's ending of troubled times, thus sweeping away the aura of disaster in the world.
.”
Zhao Shu was a little puzzled: "But now that the Xiong Kingdom is about to end the troubled times, everyone can see the trend of unifying Kunlun."
"The world has become bigger, or in other words, the world in people's minds has become bigger." Jiang Yingke said: "The Tianxia Dynasty encompassed all four directions, and its territory was unprecedentedly wide, which caused people's views on the governance of chaos in the world to change greatly. Nowadays,
Until the Bear Kingdom is completely wiped out, people will always feel that they are in troubled times."
Zhao Shu also understood: "Before the end of the troubled times, disasters are prevalent and almost uncontrollable, but..."
Zhao Shu took out the Divine Sword of Silence. When the edge was not activated, it was just an ancient sword covered in rust.
"Is this the divine sword that can kill immortals and gods?" Jiang Yingke's eyes showed a hint of shock.
"This sword is made by gathering the energy of disaster, and the spiritual material used is the essence of the stars found by Hongxueke, the swordsman of the East China Sea." Zhao Shu said: "I have also thought about whether to search for heavenly materials and earth.
Only treasure can bear the three natural disasters."
Jiang Yingke thought for a moment and then said: "Do you know the origin of the star essence?"
Zhao Shu nodded and said: "The pure energy of the Zhou Dynasty was condensed to the extreme and turned into a star palace. When it fell into the world, it was the essence of stars. Legend has it that this essence of stars fell into Kunlun Continent in the ancient times and landed directly at the intersection of sea and land.
, created the current Xingluo County Bay topography."
"No." Jiang Yingke shook his head and said: "The so-called essence of the stars is actually the destroyed world, or the only remaining remnant."
"A world that has been destroyed?" Zhao Shui immediately thought of Ruomu. The world she was born in was also destroyed, but she managed to escape with her tribe.
"During the Tianxia Dynasty, they also spent all their efforts to collect the essence of the stars, hoping to use it as one of the foundations of the Code of Conduct, but unfortunately they got very little." Zhao Shu said: "I used to suspect that the flaws in the Code of Conduct and Code of the Tianxia Dynasty were insufficient.
It’s because of the lack of support from the essence of the stars.”
"Perhaps that's the case." Jiang Yingke said: "The Ruler of the Rules is the Ruler of the Heaven and Earth. If the mysterious origin that remained after the collapse of the heaven and the earth is used, it can indeed be used as the basis of the Rules. It is a pity that the Tianxia Dynasty did not find this piece.
After Hongxueke found the essence of the stars, he used it to forge the divine sword."
After hearing these words, Zhao Shu was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and looked at the Silence Sword thoughtfully.
"That's it, that's it!" Zhao Shu suddenly realized: "Why do the laws and regulations need to be spread between heaven and earth? I have established myself as an altar, and I also follow the heavens and the earth. The laws and regulations have already been prepared by myself. They are born in the body and hidden in the sky. In this way,
, nature mediates creation and protects misfortune!”
Jiang Yingke didn't expect that his words could actually inspire Zhao Mi, and even he was thinking about it carefully.
"Thank you, senior." Zhao Shu held his sword and bowed before him: "The catastrophe is already in hand, and the death of Qianxun Orochi is approaching!"
