The Emperor's merit reached the seventh level as planned, and Zhuang Wudao could vaguely feel the changes in his luck.
In the past, among the fragmented spiritual crystals that flowed past him in this river of fragmented crystals, only one out of a thousand was an image memory related to the Emperor's good fortune and wishful thinking.
But after he completed the seventh level of catalogue, now there is one out of almost 950 that he can use.
The improvement is minimal, but it is a real change. It can also be said that 'all your wishes have come true.' Merit has increased, and everything goes as planned.
When the catalog of the seven levels was completed, Zhuang Wudao was determined and 90% sure. No matter what kind of changes happened at this time, he had a way to at least enter the atrium of the Emperor's residence.
With enough confidence, Zhuang Wudao completely relaxed his mind. He began to cultivate his soul and no longer had to work hard.
In just four short months, although he had not hurt his origin at this moment, his whole body and the meridians in his body were filled with blood-colored mist. Just like the greasy sludge, it was entrenched and solidified in his body and could not be removed.
.
If Zhuang Wudao wants to refine these evil forces in the future and restore his vitality to purity again, even if he adds various auxiliary means such as the Great Virtue's Universal Purifying Mantra to eliminate the expulsion, it will take at least twenty years. It's hard work.
.Zhuang Wudao didn’t know whether he was losing more than he was gaining.
The days that followed were peaceful. Meng Niansheng was lucky enough to say that, and in the next two months, peace gradually returned to Beppu. Although there were still some intruders, they were all low-level monks, and there was no Mahayana.
Strong men above the realm enter this other palace.
However, the few people who died were more solemn in their expressions. Instead of relaxing, they became more vigilant. Almost every day, they were ready to fight to the death.
Everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm. The movements in the past few months were mostly just tests by those families. Now that their details are known and the situation in the Taihuang's palace has been investigated, naturally there is no need to
Taking the risk of losing manpower, he allowed his disciples to venture into Beppu.
The longer it takes to prepare outside, the more dangerous it will be when it breaks out.
Zhuang Wudao was still concentrating on warming up his soul, spending less than one-third of the time every day meditating on the Emperor's merits as he intended. It took more than two months for his soul to recover again.
At its peak state,
However, it may be because Zhuang Wudao completed the seventh level of Taihuang's merit and fortune, and the heavy burden in his heart was gone. He had tightened his mind for four years and completely relaxed. In the following days, there was another feeling.
A big breakthrough.
——On the day when Zhuang Wudao's spiritual thoughts were almost restored to their peak state, he once again entered a state of communion between heaven and man.
This time lasted for a whole day. When Zhuang Wudao finally withdrew from that mysterious and strange state due to lack of energy, his understanding of this technique had improved to several levels.
Zhuang Wudao was inexplicably surprised. At this time, all he lacked was his true energy and mana. The eighth level of the Emperor's blessings as he intended was no longer an obstacle to him.
It only takes more than two months to accumulate, and he can complete the eighth level of Taihuang's merit as expected. Even if he is willing, there is enough time to enter the ninth and tenth level, which is not difficult.
but--
Zhuang Wudao laughed at himself, probably Huang Xuanye and others would never give him so much time.
As his last backup method, there is no need to use the remaining innate spirits this time.
Zhuang Wudao asked himself that this state of 'sympathy between nature and man' would never happen to him again in a short period of time. If he continued to study, he would still be able to gain something, but the harvest would definitely be far less than before the empathy between nature and man.
There will be more surprises.
No longer procrastinating, Zhuang Wudao smashed the crystal in the mysterious orifice of the life-locking mantra with just one thought.
When this treasure, which was made from many spiritual treasures, was refined into pure vitality, he forcibly extracted it. The eighth level of Taihuang's merit was as expected, and it was rapidly taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Only this thing can provide the great emperor with the massive vitality that reaches the seventh to eighth levels of his fortune.
Although the innate Yuanling is good, it is still far inferior to this divine luck-determining crystal, and it has nothing to do with fate and cause and effect.
Zhuang Wudao is taking a risk. His life-locking mantra relies on external objects to complete. At this time, the foundation of this magical power has not been stable, and he hastily removed the destiny crystal, which is likely to cause this mysterious orifice to...
into a state of collapse.
As long as he cannot find a new replacement for the Treasure of Cause and Effect within these forty-nine days, then the Life-Locking Mantra and this magical power will be completely abandoned.
This is undoubtedly a gamble. The bet is that in the atrium of Beppu, there is a spiritual treasure that can help him change his Taoism.
Once he has successfully implanted the Emperor's Fortune as Intention in his golden elixir, he will be able to stabilize the life-locking mantra and this magical power without the need for the fortune-determining crystal. But if he makes a mistake in judgment, he must
In just forty-nine days, another fortune-fixing crystal, or something similar, will be refined.
After cultivating the eighth level of Taihuang Merit as planned, it will take seven days to stabilize this skill.
However, on the fourth day, Zhuang Wudao heard a sudden 'boom' from behind him, and several powerful and unusual qi forces suddenly appeared within his spiritual senses.
Is this? Huang Xuanye came so quickly
This was the first thought that came to Zhuang Wudao's heart. And then, he heard a very familiar cold laughter.
"Fellow Taoist Ren, we have not known each other for several years, but you still seem to have the same elegant demeanor, which is very enviable. On the other hand, I am sorry that over the past few years, I have been thinking about you so much that I have been thinking about you day and night, just to see you again.
——”
Following this sound, there were several bursts of dissipated Qi Yuan Gang that rushed in all directions. The sound of thunder exploded, which included the muffled groans of Xie Wanqing and Su Yunzhui.
Knowing that these were the immortals, they could no longer hold on and were in the process of defeat. At this time, they could no longer delay. Zhuang Wudao suppressed the energy in his body, stood up directly, looked behind him and said: "Fellow Emperor Daoist is joking.
Well, you and I have never met, so how can we say goodbye after so many years?"
Tens of thousands of feet away, it was Huang Xuanye, dressed in purple Taoist robes, with a temperament like a banished immortal, walking in the wide forest garden in the front courtyard.
Behind him, there were two other people. One was in a red robe, with half of his shoulders and a five-clawed golden dragon tattooed on his right arm.
Zhuang Wudao knew this person, with the demon name 'Half Dragon'. Legend has it that this person had obtained the body of half a five-clawed golden dragon in his early years, and integrated it into his own flesh and blood. From then on, he had the magic of half dragon.
Number.
As for the other person, Zhuang Wudao also recognized him. His nickname was "Wangxin". He was Huang Xuanye's right-hand man in the Yuanshi Demon Sect. He was also a powerful man who had ascended to the Immortal Realm and possessed two major realms, and could almost keep pace with Kong Tianxiao.
At this time, Meng Niansheng, Xie Wanqing, Su Yunchui and others tried their best to stop him. However, once they faced Huang Xuanye head-on, they often could not survive the fight.
The real Huang Xuanye was so tyrannical and terrifying that he seemed to be no less powerful than Demon Lord Tianlan. He could shake the world with just a wave of his hand.
At this time, even Xie Wanqing did not dare to go all out. The Thunder Sound Sword only used 60% of its power. If it exceeds this limit, the counterattack force, unless she can bear to resolve it, will definitely spread to the surrounding areas and trigger a ban.
He was forcibly sent away by the Taihuang Palace.
Fortunately, there were Su's ancestors and grandsons behind them. In order to prevent damage to the surrounding vegetation and buildings, and alert the Beppu formation. At this time, they used the power of the stars in the sky as arrows, and the two of them controlled the arrows transformed by these star powers just right.
, often disintegrates and dissipates on its own after a certain distance, without damaging the surrounding things.
With the cover of these two ninth-level spiritual bows, although Huang Xuanye could not be stopped, he could still support himself. At least it was not a defeat, like Prince Huaiqing and others, who were captured or avoided from the beginning.
