Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Nine: Spirit Beast Crossing the Tribulation!
Boom!
There was a loud thunder, and thick blue-purple thunder fell from the sky, hitting the colorful figure in the sky one after another.
The colorful figure is a colorful peacock with a wingspan of more than 20 feet. Its wings are flapping and fighting among the thunder. A colorful phoenix tail that is four to five feet long is swaying in the air like a colorful flame.
Extremely dazzling.
Except for dragons and other talented heaven and earth spirit beasts, most monsters have to go through a thunder tribulation to advance to the fifth level, and use the power of thunder to sublimate their bloodline.
This day of thunder calamity is very dangerous for monsters, because if they want their bloodline to be sublimated successfully, and if their path in the future does not stop at the fifth level, they must use their bodies to withstand the thunder bombardment without any protection, using themselves as iron.
Using the sky thunder as a hammer, the impurities are removed with the help of the forging of the sky thunder, and finally it becomes a piece of refined steel.
According to incomplete statistics, if no protection is provided, at least 90% of the tribulation monsters will fall under the thunder tribulation, and less than 10% of the monsters will succeed in the end, which can be said to be a narrow escape!
Even so, in order to successfully advance to the fifth level, many monsters whose bloodlines are not strong enough would often rather die than retreat, rather than use magical powers to offset the thunder.
The colorful peacock is not included in this list. It has a relatively advanced bloodline and possesses a weak phoenix bloodline. As long as it survives nine heavenly thunder tribulations, it can basically survive and become a fifth-level monster.
.
But that doesn't mean it's willing to stop there.
You must know that the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is both a disaster and an opportunity. If you miss this opportunity to sublimate your bloodline with the help of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and if you want to use the power of the Heavenly Thunder to temper yourself in the future, you will have to wait until you reach the seventh level of True Spirit Crossing "True Spirit Thunder Tribulation"
Only then can it be done.
And ninety-nine percent of monsters wouldn't have that chance.
Therefore, the thunder catastrophe they encounter when they are promoted to fifth-level monsters is probably the only opportunity in their lives to sublimate their bloodline.
Of course Colorful Peacock is not willing to give up this opportunity easily!
If it can completely survive the nine heavenly thunder tribulations, the Phoenix bloodline in its body will have the possibility of forming "Phoenix True Blood". At that time, it will become a true descendant of the true spirit, and may be promoted to a sixth-level demon king in the future.
will be greatly increased.
Therefore, after surviving five thunder tribulations, it still continued to howl and pounce on the falling blue-purple thunder. Even if it was struck by the thunder, its feathers flew around and blood flowed across it, it did not flinch.
This beautiful and proud big bird is fighting against the sky with its life, hoping to gain a great future for itself from the sky.
"Sure enough, if there is a master, there must be a favor?"
"Fengxian, Fengxian, the temperament of your spiritual pet is really like you!"
"But where are you now? Why haven't you come back yet?"
On a barren mountain dozens of miles away from where the thunderstorm broke out, Zhou Yang looked up at the beautiful big bird in the sky that was fighting with blood. His eyes were slightly absent-minded, and the equally beautiful and proud beauty in colorful clothes appeared in his heart involuntarily.
.
The voice and smile of the beauty in colorful clothes had long been deeply imprinted in his heart, and he would never forget it in his life.
Even though he had not seen each other for a hundred years, that beautiful face that captivated the country was still as clear in his mind as if it were yesterday, without fading in the slightest.
Then he silently clenched his fists and murmured softly: "Don't worry, Fengxian, no matter it's a hundred years or a thousand years, I will still wait for you. Even if you don't come to me, I will come after I finish all the chores."
Even if you search all three major realms of cultivating immortals, I will definitely find you!"
After muttering to himself like this, Zhou Yang finally recovered from his dazed state and continued to cheer up and watch the colorful bird in the sky.
It was already the seventh thunder tribulation at this time, and the power of the blue-purple thunder and lightning that fell was more than twice as powerful as the first thunder tribulation.
After the colorful peacock was hit by the thunder, it immediately let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.
But such a fall did not last for a few breaths. It tried its best to shake its already damaged wings to stabilize its body. It looked up at the cloud of thunder and calamity in the sky with stubborn eyes, opened its mouth and bit into pieces that had been hidden in its mouth.
of a small jade vase.
There is a drop of "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew" in the small jade bottle, which Zhou Yang gave it as a life-saving thing before it went through the calamity.
At this moment, as it swallowed this life-saving thing, a powerful force of vitality suddenly surged out of its body, quickly repairing and healing the hideous wounds on its body.
Boom!
Before the wounds on the colorful peacock could fully recover, the eighth thunder tribulation had already landed on its back.
Immediately, all the healed or unhealed wounds on its body suddenly exploded and expanded, and some intact areas were also broken by the thunder bombardment, bleeding out with red blood.
Fortunately, the power of the "Rejuvenating Fairy Dew" was not exhausted yet, and he was rescued from serious injuries and frequent death in time.
"Forget it! You have already done a good job. The power of the ninth thunder tribulation is twice as powerful as before. In your current state, there is absolutely no way you can survive it!"
In the distance, Zhou Yang shouted in a deep voice, persuading it to give up.
The ninth heavenly thunder tribulation is also called the "King's Tribulation" by the demon clan, which means that if you can survive the ninth heavenly thunder tribulation, you will have the opportunity to aspire to the sixth-level demon king realm in the future.
If this thunder tribulation was so easy to survive, based on the huge number of monsters, there would be no situation where the number of sixth-order monsters would be less than that of Nascent Soul monks.
But what made Zhou Yang's expression change suddenly was that the colorful peacock ignored his words at all, and still spread its wings and soared into the sky, soaring up to meet the ninth thunder tribulation.
"Damn it! This damn bastard bird!"
Zhou Yang's face turned red with anger, he couldn't help but cursed angrily, and then quickly flew into the clouds towards the Thunder Tribulation battlefield.
Now that the ninth heavenly thunder tribulation has fallen, even if he passes by, he will not attract the thunder tribulation to come to him, and he will not fail to help and harm the monsters who are crossing the tribulation.
The colorful peacock must not die, otherwise Zhou Yang really doesn't know how he will explain to Jiang Fengxian when he comes back.
On the way, the other person had already taken out the remaining two drops of "Rejuvenating Fairy Dew" in his hand. With this treasure, he could save the colorful peacock as long as it still had breath.
It's just a pity for this treasure, after all, this is the only stock he has in hand.
But when he flew over the battlefield, he was stunned.
Because he originally thought that the colorful peacock must die, or must be seriously injured and dying, but at this moment, it was bathed in colorful flames and suspended in the air, exuding the majestic aura of a fifth-level monster.
"What a lucky bird. This made you successful!"
Looking at this familiar scene, he couldn't help but stop angrily, blurted out a curse with a mixture of joy and anger on his face, and then put away the jade bottle containing "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew" in his hand.
If there is any magical method in the world that can heal injuries better than "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew", then the "Nirvana" magical power that belongs to the Phoenix family must be one of them.
The colorful peacock successfully sublimated his Phoenix bloodline under the ninth thunder tribulation, condensed the "Phoenix True Blood", and was lucky enough to awaken and master the "Nirvana" magical power of the Phoenix clan, thus saving his dying life.
This kind of luck really made Zhou Yang envious and jealous.
He is one of the very few human monks who has personally experienced the magical power of "Nirvana". He is very aware of the heaven-defying power of this magical power. With this magical power in his body, it is really equivalent to having a second life.
The colorful peacock can awaken and master this magical power. In the future, it will also be the top existence among the fifth-level monsters, and even have a great chance of being promoted to the sixth level in the future.
Not long after, the colorful peacock achieved "Nirvana". The feathers that were burned in the thunderstorm were not only restored to the original color, but the colors were much brighter and more beautiful than before. The original colorful tail also grew again.
The two colors turned into a colorful phoenix tail.
Maybe it would be more vivid to call it colorful peacock at this time.
However, Zhou Yang looked at the colorful peacock flying over in high spirits, but he had no intention of congratulating or praising him. Instead, he cursed angrily: "You really didn't want your life just now! It doesn't matter if you die, your master will do it when the time comes."
She asked me to compensate her bird, where can I find another stupid bird like you to compensate her?"
When the colorful peacock heard what he said, he immediately chirped and retorted loudly.
It's a pity that one person and one bird are wrong. You scold yours and I call mine. The scolding and shouting are mixed together, making it noisy like a vegetable market.
In the end, after Zhou Yang finished scolding, most of his anger was gone, and he waved his sleeves and said: "Forget it this time, if you dare to ignore my order next time, I will send you back to the wild jungle and let you continue there.
Trapped for a hundred years, waiting for your master's return for a thousand years!"
When the colorful peacock heard what he said, he immediately stopped shouting and just looked at him with aggrieved eyes, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.
"Humph, there's no point in looking at me. Zhou always does what he says, and I won't let him go leniently next time!"
Zhou Yang snorted coldly, immediately put the colorful peacock back into the spirit beast ring, and flew towards Chongxuan Mountain on the clouds.
The monster beast's thunder tribulation was something that could not be concealed. He did not want to rush to Xuan Mountain because this matter would attract too much attention, so he deliberately left Anguo with the colorful peacock and came to this wilderness to carry out the event.
Because the thunder tribulation did not last long, even if someone saw the thunder clouds gathering here from a distance and rushed over to check the situation, they would not know what kind of monster was going through the tribulation, let alone who the master of the monster beast was.
Half a year later, Zhou Yang also left Chongxuan Mountain with the golden-winged thunder eagle that was about to survive the tribulation, and went to another place to survive the thunder tribulation.
Having learned the lesson from the previous time, Zhou Yang was afraid that the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle would also die recklessly, so he specially gave it two drops of "Rejuvenating Fairy Dew" to hold in its mouth for later use.
But in fact, Zhou Yang somewhat underestimated the strength of the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle.
Although the golden-winged thunder eagle does not possess the blood of the phoenix like the colorful peacock, and can be lucky enough to awaken and condense the "true blood of the phoenix" after passing through the tribulation, but it has awakened some kind of barbaric bird blood by taking the heart of a barbarian beast, and its physical strength is stronger than
The colorful peacock at the same level is much stronger.
And as a thunder attribute monster, its resistance to sky thunder is much stronger than other attribute monsters, and it can even absorb the power of sky thunder to temper its body.
Therefore, all nine heavenly thunder tribulations have been overcome. The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle only took a drop of "Rejuvenation Fairy Dew" to restore its condition before the ninth thunder tribulation fell, and survived all nine heavenly thunder tribulations intact.
.
After surviving the nine thunder tribulations, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle did not awaken any true spiritual bloodline like the colorful peacock, but its own bloodline has also been greatly improved, and it is also possible to aspire to become the sixth-level demon king in the future.
In this way, both spiritual birds were successfully promoted to the fifth level of monster beasts, and Zhou Yang gained some confidence for the future battle at Chongxuan Mountain.
The news that Master Qingyang later sent him that the magic weapon had been refined made him even more happy. He quickly secretly rushed to Xuanyang Immortal Sect with two spiritual birds and asked Master Qingyang to refine them for them.
Heng Gu, by the way, collect your new magic weapon.
"The fifth-level high-grade magic weapon [Flaming Dragon Shield] was personally made by the sixth-level weapon refiner, using the ten sixth-level red fire dragon scales and [Fire Yang Divine Iron] you provided as materials. The material of the magic weapon itself is
It is comparable to a sixth-level magic weapon, and can release a flame dragon to protect and attack, and its power is even stronger than ordinary fifth-level high-quality spells!"
"And when the weapon refining master left an inlay when refining this magic weapon, if you can find a fifth-level spiritual object like [glazed fire crystal stone], place it on this inlay.
, you can rely on the power of [Glass Fire Crystal] to inspire the Flame Flame Dragon without consuming your own mana, and the Flame Flame Dragon will also turn into a Glazed Fire Dragon due to the increased power of [Glass Fire Crystal]."
In the "Qingyang Cave", Zhou Yang was holding a crimson shield shaped like dragon scales in his hand and looking at it non-stop, while the master of the cave, Qingyang Zhenren, explained to him the function of this shield with a calm expression.
After accepting Zhou Yang's commission, he personally went to the Yuqing Taoist Sect and used two [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] lotus seeds as a cost to invite a Nascent Soul monk from the Yuqing Taoist Sect who had reached the sixth level of weapon refining to personally
He took action and helped Zhou Yang refine the [Flaming Dragon Shield] magical weapon and a fifth-level alchemy furnace.
Now, after several years, the magical artifact was finally refined, warmed, and brought out of the furnace. It was delivered to him for personal inspection and acceptance.
At this time, after Zhou Yang finished checking the [Flaming Dragon Shield], he waved his hand again and threw out a crimson pill furnace and landed in front of Zhou Yang.
"The fifth-level mid-grade alchemy furnace [Flaming Star Furnace] is also made by the sixth-level weapon refining master, using the [Flaming Star Iron] provided by you. It is equipped with the Yuqing Taoist Sect's unique magic ban.
If you are refining elixirs, you can greatly increase the speed of elixir refining and reduce the time of elixir accumulation."
Magical weapons such as alchemy furnaces and cauldrons are extremely difficult to refine. The [Flame Star Iron] provided by Zhou Yang is only enough to be refined once, so in order to ensure success, even a sixth-level weapon refiner can only refine it.
Its grade is lowered to the fifth-grade mid-grade.
Of course, Zhou Yang knew that there was actually a secret hidden in this, that is, the top sects would never let something like a fifth-level high-grade alchemy furnace, which could be said to be a strategic treasure, escape from their hands easily.
In fact, if the client had not been Master Qingyang, and if he had found someone by himself, not many refiners would be willing to help him refine even a fifth-level low-grade alchemy furnace.
It is precisely because a good alchemy furnace is so rare that Zhou Yang finally chose to make an alchemy furnace instead of a cauldron.
At this time, after he inspected the two magic weapons, he waved his hand and put them all into the storage ring. Then he saluted Master Qingyang with a grateful face and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior. Thank you very much, senior."
, I will always remember this in my heart, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will try my best to repay the kindness of my seniors!"
When Master Qingyang heard what he said, he immediately said with a smile: "If someone else said this, the old Taoist would just listen to it casually, but what do you think, little friend, the old Taoist believed it 100% and looked forward to that day?
's arrival."
Zhou Yang must repay his kindness, which he knew from the last time he resolutely chose to follow him to the [Qiongtian Wonderland] to slay demons.
Moreover, Master Qingyang already knew that Xu Zhengyang received help from Zhou Yang to seize the [Crystal Ice Orchid] to extend his life.
Even Xu Zhengyang, who just followed his instructions and helped Zhou Yang do something, if he had the ability, Zhou Yang was willing to go to the boundless snowfield to capture the [Crystal Ice Orchid].
Master Qingyang did not believe that if Zhou Yang succeeded in transforming the elixir into a baby in the future, he would forget his support and help along the way.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wave his hand and said: "Okay, let's stop talking. When you come here this time, you should ask the old Taoist to help you refine the horizontal bones of two spiritual birds, right? Let's do this as soon as possible.
Okay, then you go back to Xuanshan quickly to avoid being discovered."
It was rare for him to take the initiative to mention this matter, so Zhou Yang would certainly not refuse. Dang even and Master Qingyang entered the spirit beast room in the cave and released the two spirit birds.
Compared with beasts, it is much easier for spiritual birds to refine transverse bones. After all, parrots and mynas among common birds can imitate human speech through training in tongue-learning.
Qingyang Zhenren, a Nascent Soul Stage monk, personally came to help. In less than five days, he successfully refined the transverse bones of two spiritual birds, allowing them to master the ability to speak human words.
However, the refining of the horizontal bones only gave the two spiritual birds the ability to speak human words. If they want to really make good use of this ability, they need to communicate with people and become familiar with this way of speaking.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang returned to Chongxuan Mountain, he captured two young men, Ye Yunshan and Zhou Shengyu, to teach the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle and the Colorful Peacock to speak human language and read.
It happened that Ye Yunshan taught the female colorful peacock, and Zhou Shengyu taught the male golden-winged thunder eagle, so that the two would not have their accents reversed, and the male would speak in a female voice and the female would speak in a male voice.
However, what Zhou Yang and others did not expect was that after the two spiritual birds initially learned human language, they met on the mountain and suddenly began to curse each other with profanity.
"Quack, quack, Jiang Cai'er, you are such a stupid bird. I heard from my master that you were almost struck to death by lightning when you were going through the thunder tribulation. At that time, I was pity, why didn't I strike you to death? So I will
It’s time to eat roast chicken!”
"Bah, Zhou Jinpeng, you big-eyed chicken is just a cheap bird. You have survived nine heavenly thunder tribulations without awakening any true spiritual bloodline. Your bloodline is really lowly. A weakling with a lowly bloodline like you."
, I can only spend my whole life pecking on the ground with the weak chickens, watching my aunt fly up the branches and turn into a phoenix!"
…
If the spiritual pet of a cultivator can grow to a high level, it usually takes the surname of its owner, so the colorful peacock is naturally called Jiang Cai'er, and the golden-winged thunder eagle is called Zhou Jinpeng.
The fifth-level monsters' intelligence is comparable to that of human teenagers. Because Jiang Cai'er and Golden-winged Thunder Eagle have both taken the "Ling Qi Pill", their intelligence is not inferior to that of humans at all, and their respective personalities are still very distinct.
Jiang Cai'er, who has noble blood, has a character as arrogant as her master Jiang Fengxian, but she only has that arrogance and does not have that elegance, so she turned into a arrogant and unruly little pepper, very spicy.
Zhou Jinpeng's character is also arrogant, but it is not the arrogance inherent in Jiang Cai'er's blood, but the arrogance of a goshawk looking down on the earth and all creatures on earth as its prey. It can be said to be arrogance.
This kind of arrogance makes it easy for it to speak carelessly and offend people without thinking. Moreover, in its arrogant character, it has somehow formed a habit of talking nonsense. When the two are combined, it is almost perfect.
With the magical power of "turning one's mouth into an enemy", he is definitely a very powerful person when it comes to arousing hatred.
Even if Zhou Yang, the owner, comes to talk to it in person, it is easy for him to be so angry that he wants to pull out his hair.
In short, after Zhou Yang knew that these two birds were swearing every day, the thing he regretted most was why he helped them refine their horizontal bones so that they could have a chance to speak human words.
"Are they speaking in human language? They are speaking in the language of flat-haired beasts!"
This was what he would often say when he was angered by these two birds.
But it has to be said that the frequent bickering between these two birds has indeed relieved the increasingly tense atmosphere on the mountain.
The appearance of at least two fifth-level spiritual birds made the disciples on the mountain who knew about this situation secretly sigh in relief.
Two golden elixir stage monks plus two fifth-level spiritual birds, this lineup is already comparable to a mid-level sect. With such strength, even if a war breaks out, Chongxuan Mountain may not be unable to defend it.
The same is true for Zhou Yang himself.
But the reason why he breathed a sigh of relief was the confidence he gained after refining the magical weapon [Flaming Dragon Shield].
This defensive magic weapon can be said to be the most precious of all the fifth-level magic weapons in his hand, and it is also the most powerful. With this thing in hand, his survivability on the battlefield has been greatly improved.
In the following years, Zhou Yang never left Chongxuan Mountain, focusing on cultivating his magical powers behind closed doors in the cave and improving his cultivation diligently.
After six years of this, the expected war finally broke out.
After several years of repeated testing, the "Six Dao Alliance" finally determined that Lu Xuanji had passed away. Then, while spreading the news to undermine the morale within the "Xuanqing Dao Alliance," they eagerly launched an expansion war.
In this war, the "Six Dao Alliance" launched attacks from three locations on the border between the two sides. Chongxuan Mountain, located in Anguo but backed by Changguo and serving as the bridgehead of Changguo, was one of the main attack points.
When news of the massive attack by the "Six Paths Alliance" reached Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang, who was in seclusion, immediately went out to summon a group of disciples on the mountain, completely activated the "Five Elements Returning Formation" to protect the mountain, and put on a show
The posture of clinging to Chongxuan Mountain.
Less than half a day later, several rays of sword light accompanied by seven or eight large empty ships arrived outside Chongxuan Mountain.
