Chapter eight hundred and thirty fourth: four hundred years in a hurry
Zhou Guangcheng is now the guardian of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, so it is naturally inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, not to mention that his Taoist companions and children are also cultivating immortals in Liuyun Continent and Boundless Sand Sea.
So after staying on [Donglai Immortal Island] for half a year, he returned to the world of immortal cultivation in Liuyun Continent alone.
After that, only Zhou Yang and Qin Yue'er lived in seclusion on such a big fairy island.
After overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal, Zhou Yang no longer expected to make any progress in his cultivation, so when he lived in seclusion on [Donglai Immortal Island], he focused almost all his energy on the cultivation of immortal arts and supernatural powers.
After he overcame the tribulation and became an immortal, [Qian Yang Baozhu] had transmitted to him all the inheritance left by [Qian Yang Zhenren]. Among them, in addition to the cultivation techniques after the tribulation period, there were three suitable for him. Practicing magic and magical powers.
These three magical powers are [Burning Sky Furnace], [God Refining Chain], and [Immortal Golden Bell].
The names of the three magical powers don't sound like methods for practicing magical powers, but rather like magical weapons.
In fact, they are indeed embodied in the form of utensils.
Just like the thunder in the last round of the heavenly tribulation will turn into the thunder tribulation divine weapon, the same is true for these magical magical powers that are highly condensed by laws.
In addition to the three kinds of magical powers inherited from inheritance, Zhou Yang himself also obtained some magical powers inherited from the ancient times of this world from the three immortals of the human race such as Du Chongyang, [Zhenmu Zhenren] and so on. Among them, there are two kinds that are worth practicing, namely [Great Shift of the Void], [Spear that Breaks the Void].
Not to mention other magical powers, [Great Void Shift] is one that Zhou Yang must learn.
As the name suggests, this magical power is used to move around in the chaotic void.
The chaotic void is boundless, with no sky above, no earth below, and no distinction between east, west, north, and south.
Although the true immortals in the Tribulation Period can survive in it, if there is no magical power such as [Great Void Shift] as a means of traveling, and they just rely on their own flight, they may not be able to find a place to stay even if they fly for ten thousand years. world.
If Zhou Yang wants to ascend to the upper realm, he must master this magical power.
As for the other magical powers, he will try to give priority to practicing the [Immortal Golden Bell] and [Burning Sky Furnace].
There are many dangers in the chaotic void. There are not only various natural dangers, but also the existence of chaotic monsters. The magical powers that can improve the ability to save life and kill enemies are naturally a priority to practice.
The practice of magical powers is different from the practice of ordinary magical powers. The most important thing about magical powers is the use of laws.
Because magical power is itself a power formed by the highly condensed laws, it tests entirely the practitioner's ability to understand and control the laws.
After his cultivation has reached the Tribulation Stage, one benefit is that Zhou Yang can now easily perceive the existence of the laws of heaven and earth, whether it is the fire attribute law of heaven and earth and the metallic law of heaven and earth that are consistent with his own attributes, or the water attribute that is very inconsistent with him. The laws of heaven and earth and the laws of wood-attributed heaven and earth, or the wind-attributed laws of heaven and earth and the ice-attributed laws of heaven and earth, can be easily perceived.
The difference is that the fire-attribute laws of heaven and earth will not resist his perception and touch, while the ice-attribute laws of heaven and earth will be very resistant to his touch and unwilling to be mobilized and used by him.
However, the True Immortal in the Tribulation Stage also has a very powerful ability, which is the ability to forcibly control and borrow part of the power of a certain law of heaven and earth for one's own use.
Just like Zhou Yang, if he is willing, he can now forcibly mobilize part of the power of the ice-attribute laws of heaven and earth, turning it into the power of frost comparable to a sixth-order ice attribute spell to attack the enemy.
At the same time, because he has a perception of all the laws of heaven and earth with attributes, it also means that as long as he is willing to spend time to understand and study, he will also have the opportunity to deeply understand and control the laws of heaven and earth with ice attributes, and develop certain ice attribute magical powers!
In this case, the longer the Tribulation Stage True Immortal lives, the stronger the power will be.
Of course, this situation only applies to the true immortals of the human race who are in the tribulation stage. The seventh-level true spirits of the demon race are absolutely inferior to the true immortals of the human race who are in the tribulation stage in terms of their ability to perceive and control the laws of heaven and earth that are not consistent with their own attributes.
This is the difference between the two major races and cultivation systems, and it is a fundamental difference.
Zhou Yang's understanding and control of the laws of heaven and earth is definitely top-notch among the true immortals who have just overcome the tribulation and become immortals. After all, before he transcended the tribulation, he had stayed in a place with strong source power for a long time.
some time.
At this time, he first practiced the magical power of [Great Void Shift], and his progress was very impressive. It only took a hundred years for him to reach the initial level of display.
Because it is a magical magical power specially used to travel in the chaotic void, this [Great Void Shift] magical power is actually restricted in every aspect when used in the "Linghuan Realm", and the effect will be reduced by dozens or hundreds of times.
Zhou Yang was able to initially display this magical power in the "Ling Huan Realm", and when he arrived in the chaotic void, it would only be easier to use it.
So he then focused his main energy on practicing the magical magical power of [Immortal Golden Bell].
As a defensive magical power, the [Immortal Golden Bell] magical power is extremely effective in any situation. Its cultivation difficulty is far from comparable to the [Great Void Shift] magical power.
In the previous hundred years of practice, Zhou Yang had only mastered a little bit of it and was not of much use.
It took another hundred years of practice to see the hope of completing it.
By the time he was able to truly display this magical power, he had already been practicing this magical power for two hundred and seventy years.
At this time, Qin Yue'er, who had been living in seclusion on [Donglai Immortal Island] with him for almost four hundred years, had already reached the perfection of the eighth level of Nascent Soul, and was facing the bottleneck of the ninth level of Nascent Soul, unable to break through.
Also stuck at this step is Zhou Guangcheng.
Something unexpected happened, that is, Zhou Guangzheng succeeded in surpassing his mother and elder brother in terms of cultivation, and entered the "half-step true immortal" realm of the ninth level of Nascent Soul ahead of schedule.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang simply picked the [Dragon Blood Sacred Jade Fruit] and [Jasper Flat Peach] that were ripe on the [Donglai Fairy Island], and then took Qin Yue'er to the "Kurong Valley" to prepare to wake up.
Couple Xiao Ying.
Hundreds of years ago, Xiao Ying entered the state of extinction of the magical power of [Withering Life and Death Qi] and left a message asking Zhou Yang to wake him up three hundred years later.
Zhou Yang was busy practicing magic and magical powers during this period, and he didn't want to wake her up too early to prevent her life span from passing too much, so he didn't wake her up as scheduled.
At this time, he had successfully practiced two immortal arts and magical powers, and Qin Yue'er, a Taoist priest, only had a lifespan of five or six hundred years, so he was ready to wake up Taoist couple Xiao Ying and reunite the family for a hundred years.
day.
With Taoist Lan sitting in charge, everything was naturally stable in the "Kurong Valley". Zhou Yang came to the bottom of the giant tree and awakened Xiao Ying who was in a state of silence in the tree like last time.
After a moment passed like this, Xiao Ying escaped from it full of vitality.
"Has three hundred years passed? Sister Yue'er has made further progress in her cultivation. It's really gratifying to congratulate her!"
Xiao Ying appeared under the tree, her beautiful eyes swept over Zhou Yang and Qin Yue'er, and then she smiled softly and congratulated Qin Yue'er for her progress in cultivation.
When Qin Yue'er heard this, she smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Ying'er, you have been asleep for almost four hundred years. If my cultivation does not improve, sister, I will really have lived these four hundred years in vain!"
"Has four hundred years passed?"
Xiao Ying glanced at Zhou Yang, but didn't say anything more. She didn't ask why Zhou Yang didn't wake her up as promised.
The couple had been together for more than two thousand years, and she knew what Zhou Yang meant without asking.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, then looked at Zhou Yang and said, "More than four hundred years have passed, and I don't know how Cheng'er and Zheng'er are doing. Husband, are we going back to see them?"
"It's time to meet them."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then said hello to Taoist Lan, and took the two Taoists back to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent.
Compared with the previous two thousand years, during the two thousand years after Zhou Yang was born, the world of immortality was considered to be developing peacefully. Nothing particularly big happened, at least nothing big happened that alarmed the true immortals in the Tribulation Period.
The Xuanyang Immortal Sect has indeed become prosperous again. Zhou Guangcheng went to [Donglai Immortal Island] a hundred years ago to ask Zhou Yang about his cultivation, and specifically asked for two [Holy Infant Fruits] from him and returned.
Now the number of Yuanying stage monks in Xuanyang Immortal Sect has reached six, including Zhou Guangcheng, the guardian of the eighth level of Yuanying.
On the contrary, the Yuqing Dao Sect encountered another period of turmoil. There were currently only three Nascent Soul monks in the sect, and the one with the highest cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul.
The rise and fall of various sects in the world of immortality is such a reality that no force can avoid it.
Of course, this does not include the Zhou family, or it does not include the Zhou family where Zhou Yang is still in charge.
The number of high-level monks in the Zhou family is still growing rapidly. In the past four hundred years, two Nascent Soul stage monks have emerged one after another, named Zhou Jiale and Zhou Shanxi. They are both people whom Zhou Yang is not very familiar with.
"Yuzhen, what's going on with the two of you in Yuhuan? How come they're already a thousand years old and haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet?"
On Xuanyang Peak, after Zhou Yang met his son and daughter-in-law, they just had a conversation, then frowned and looked at the two daughters-in-law, asking about their cultivation.
The cultivation level of his two daughters-in-law has long reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, but they have not yet given birth to a baby.
Based on their cultivation in the golden elixir stage, if they had not taken life-extending spiritual products such as [Jasper Flat Peach], they would have died at the end of their lives.
The last time Zhou Guangcheng asked Zhou Yang for the [Holy Infant Fruit], it was for the two of them. Otherwise, how could Zhou Yang give it out so generously?
When they heard him ask about this matter, the two daughters Shen Yuzhen and Shen Yuhuan hurriedly saluted and explained: "Dad, please calm down. It's not that the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are unwilling to enter the Nascent Soul stage, but that the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot let go of their care for their husband.
We care about each other and are ready to give it a try again in the last fifty years!"
"Confused!"
Zhou Yang looked at the two women with an unhappy expression, and scolded with a slightly annoyed tone: "If you do it with such a mentality, the failure rate will be higher!"
The Tribulation Immortal was so angry that the two mortal cultivators of the ninth level of the Golden Core could not bear it. At that time, they were so frightened that they shrank their heads and did not dare to take a breath. They stood there shivering and did not dare to answer any more words.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but help her by saying, "Husband, please calm down and don't scare them. The matter of conceiving a baby is a matter of life and death. In fact, their ideas are not wrong."
She actually had this idea at the beginning, so she delayed having a baby until she was over nine hundred years old. At this time, she could understand the feelings of two daughter-in-laws whose spiritual qualifications were similar to hers.
"I'm not angry for them, I'm sorry for those monks who are determined to pursue the great path but don't have the resources to support them!"
Zhou Yang turned his head displeased, not wanting to look at the faces of the two daughters-in-law.
If these two people were not his daughters-in-law, he would not bother to care about the life and death of such monks, who in his eyes were like cowards.
At the same time, he was also quite dissatisfied with his son Zhou Guangcheng's handling of this aspect.
He couldn't help but angrily complained to his son next to him: "Cheng'er, you are the same. The two of them don't know anything, and you don't know anything either? How can immortal cultivators achieve great things if they don't have the mentality to dare to fight for their lives? As their leader, you
Husband, you should have discovered this a long time ago and thought of ways to enlighten and educate them!"
Zhou Guangcheng felt aggrieved because he had obviously done some ideological work for the two Taoist monks, but he just didn't get the job done.
But he also knew what kind of character his father was, and now that Zhou Yang was a True Immortal of Transcending Tribulation, the power of the True Immortal could not be offended, so he could only endure the grievances and responded repeatedly: "Dad, what you are teaching me is,
The fault of this matter is my child's. He was busy with his cultivation and sect affairs and neglected this matter. Everything is my child's fault."
"Forget it, this is all a matter between you and your husband. As a father, I don't have to worry about it. You can just like it and don't regret it in the future!"
Zhou Yang waved his hands with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face and did not mention the matter again.
Next, he only stayed at Xuanyang Peak for less than half a month, and then he took Xiao Ying and Qin Yue'er back to the Immortal Cultivation World of the Boundless Sand Sea. Zhou Guangcheng stayed behind to urge the two Taoists to attack Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
Expect.
After returning to the boundless sand sea, Zhou Yang did not go to the Zhou family's mountain gate on Lingxi Peak, but returned to the Yuquan Lake Oasis, the ancestral home of the Zhou family.
At this time, this ancestral land had long been classified as a forbidden area by the Zhou family, and only a handful of Zhou family monks were allowed to enter and exit this place.
After Zhou Yang returned here, he sent a message to the Zhou family and asked them to send a message to the Great Guangming Immortal Palace so that their youngest son Zhou Guangzheng, who was already the master of the Great Guangming Immortal Palace, could come and see him.
But now that he is back, of course he cannot only see his sons, such as his grandson Zhou Tonghui, who is already the head of the Zhou family, and his granddaughter Zhou Tongyue, as well as their descendants, the Yuanying monks of the Zhou family, the demon servants Jinpeng, and Bi
Son, these are all people you need to meet.
For some of these people, being able to see him once was just a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it is very likely that they will only be able to see him a few times in their lifetime.
"Now I, the ancestor of the Zhou family, am somewhat worthy of my name."
On the Yuquan Lake oasis, when Zhou Yang read the list of people who were to meet with him from his grandson Zhou Tonghui, he couldn't help but chuckle and said something self-deprecating.
