The old Taoist has ascended, congratulations from all quarters.
The sect where Master Zuoyue lives was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Several disciples stood up to thank the guests from all walks of life and invited senior masters to gather at the mountain gate to spread their blessings.
There was joy everywhere, celebrating the birth of the immortal.
However, Zhou Zheng and the other six quietly returned to the inn room they had rented before, each one more silent than the other.
It was Xiao Sheng who broke the dull atmosphere and cursed: "Fuck, what the hell is that?"
"The Great Demon of the Golden Immortal Realm," Zhou Zheng said slowly, "The three of us were in the air when we first arrived, and this thing chased us."
Ao Ying asked: "Deep Space Silence, does it mean to restore silence to deep space? Do you want us to get rid of this big monster?"
The inn room became quiet again.
Li Zhiyong pondered for a few times: "Think twice before you act. I suggest you give up this mission, find a way to complete the tribulation and leave this world, or put the tribulation later and return to our cosmic flying immortal. In this way, you can get what you can get by just giving up the tribulation. the benefits of."
"Old Li, there will be no calamity without ascending."
Xiao Sheng rarely showed a serious and thoughtful expression, and said in a deep voice:
"In our Three Realms, because the way of heaven is not revealed now, you can turn into immortals when you reach the realm. There is no catastrophe or punishment from heaven for the time being, so the number of monks and flying immortals will continue to increase, and demons can also devour people's cultivation without restraint.
"But therefore there is no such thing as ascension.
"Wushuang and I gave up on transcending the tribulation and went back to ascend to immortality. But you and the squad leader must have started to kill the Dao realm before.
"According to the scripture you gave me, Lao Li, it is possible for the two of you to directly ascend to the true fairyland.
"Furthermore, Laojun said before, our Three Realms only have twenty years left. The day when the law of heaven awakens will be the time when all living things are completely exterminated... If we don't give it a try here, wouldn't we be living up to Laojun's hard work?" ?”
Li Zhiyong nodded slightly, stood by the wall with his hands behind his hands, lowered his head and kept thinking.
Zhou Zheng said slowly: "One thing must be clarified now, that is, whether it is necessary to ascend to the upper world after the tribulation. Is this mandatory by the laws of heaven, or is it rumored by the monks here."
"It shouldn't be mandatory to ascend."
Ao Ying's face revealed memories, and she calculated with her fingers. The thin and loose sleeves slid slightly along her white wrists.
She quickly said:
"Because Zhou said that there was something wrong with the old Taoist, I carefully observed every move of the old Taoist.
"It was the old Taoist who flew into the air on his own, and it was his immortal power that carried him up.
"The colorful rays of light that appeared at that time were a vision of a breakthrough in the realm of life after completing the journey to immortality. It was not a forced ascension."
Yue Wushuang asked: "In other words, the golden stairs and the shadow of the golden armored general are just bait?"
"That should be the case," Ye Yan'er nodded gently, supporting Ao Ying's words.
Zhou Zheng poured himself a cup of cool tea, put it to his mouth and took a sip.
At this moment, both he and Li Zhiyong were in a state of deep contemplation.
【Deep Space Silence】.
The prosperous little world, the monks who yearn to become immortals, and the great golden immortal demon wandering in the sky are bait for those who ascend.
"Why doesn't this big monster swallow the Mahayana monks?"
Zhou Zheng suddenly asked this question.
Except for Li Zhiyong, the four of them were slightly startled; Li Zhiyong hesitated for a moment and also added "a startled" to himself.
Zhou Zheng said slowly:
"The calamity in this world is so difficult, and there are very few people who can survive the calamity, so we can barely calculate a 10% chance for him.
"If the big demon uses this to improve its own strength, can it swallow a monk who has just become an immortal? Is it worth swallowing ten Mahayana monks?
"Could this be a mechanism? A mechanism to suppress human practitioners?"
Ye Yan'er said: "After the old Taoist Zuoyue passed through the catastrophe, although the previously damaged origin was replenished by the colorful rays of light, his vitality was about doubled compared to before the tribulation."
"That's right," Xiao Sheng wondered, "If this golden immortal demon directly swallows the Mahayana monks for the sake of cultivation, wouldn't it maximize its benefits?"
Yue Wushuang said: "What if concealment is considered? This golden immortal demon obviously does not want the monks in this world to know its existence; if it directly devours the Mahayana masters, it will also cause chaos in this world, and
In the name of ascension, I can keep playing this game and cut the leeks one crop after another."
Everyone nodded and continued to think.
Li Zhiyong said: "No matter what, we must make preparations."
"If we survive the tribulation in this realm, the great golden immortal demon will not hesitate to expose its traces and prepare to kill us."
Li Zhiyong narrowed his eyes:
"This is the worst-case scenario, but the possibility must exist.
"So, if we want to survive the tribulation in this realm... In other words, we have no other choice. In order to complete this trial, we can only survive the tribulation in this realm.
"We must formulate a plan to kill this golden immortal monster within a limited time. This is difficult. Every emergency must be considered."
Ao Ying hesitated to speak.
She could actually try to challenge this big monster one-on-one.
The Dragon Clan has been passed down for a long time, and the most important things are secret arts and fighting skills. She has practiced everything she should have practiced in her previous life.
Zhou Zheng seemed to see what she was thinking and said with a smile:
"We now have two masters. Yingying has just transformed into a dragon. In the next period of time, she can just hone her dragon fighting skills. She will be the fighting force we must rely on this time.
"Sister Yan'er's life principles will definitely be of great use, otherwise Laojun would not choose her to help us.
"The rest is up to the four of us."
Zhou Zheng looked at Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang and continued:
"Wushuang, your Dao foundation is a little shallow. Even if you go through the heavenly tribulation, you won't get the chance to ascend. I suggest you give up your plan to become an immortal in this world and just make a breakthrough naturally after you go back."
Yue Wushuang bit her lips lightly a few times, but nodded decisively: "I will follow the squad leader's arrangements."
"Brother Xiao," Zhou Zheng looked at Xiao Sheng, "the three of us will try our best."
"no problem!"
Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows: "What, the three of us form a team to ascend? And then directly fight this big monster?"
"That's what I thought," Zhou Zheng agreed with a smile.
"The realm after ascension is uncontrollable," Li Zhiyong said. "The only thing we can control is the time to overcome the tribulation."
"No, wait a minute!"
Ye Yan'er interrupted Li Zhiyong's words and frowned: "Is it because I don't know enough about cultivation? How can the time of transcending the tribulation be controllable? Have you guys fallen into a misunderstanding?"
Zhou Zheng spread his hands: "I don't know."
Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang spread their hands together. Li Zhiyong raised his hand to hold the non-existent glasses frame and laughed: "It's just a technique given by the squad leader."
The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.
here we go!
This guy started to push things that were inconvenient for him to explain to him, the reincarnation of the Qinghua Emperor!
I also took advantage of the mysterious master behind Li Zhiyong, but I still can't expose him!
Really, it is enough for him to know this one friend of Lao Li's family. If he meets any stable people in the future, he must stay away from them, lest his pants will be taken away by them!
"Let me arrange the tasks!"
Zhou Zheng decisively showed the courage of a team leader:
"Zhiyong, Brother Xiao, you two are responsible for figuring out our identities. You can create rumors about the birth of a reclusive family.
"Yingying, Wushuang, you are responsible for getting some spiritual stones from this world, the more the better.
"Sister Yan'er, don't be idle, open a medical clinic or something, and try your best to collect money and treasures from this small world."
"We'll leave in three years, why do we need so much money?" Ye Yan'er was a little confused.
"Ah, I want to buy a sect."
Ao Ying nodded slightly, and Li Zhiyong's eyes lit up. Although Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang were not aware of the seriousness, they nodded cooperatively.
Ye Yan'er raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.
These guys, why don't you ask this guy why he bought the sect?
Why do I feel that all of them are a bit clueless?
Three more days later.
…
"Hey, brother, why are there so many things lately?"
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
"A mysterious immortal just appeared in the west and killed most of the masters of the demon clan. The demon clan retreated thirty thousand miles in a row.
"An unknown old woman appeared in the east. She traveled to twenty-eight cities and exchanged hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones and countless treasures. Now those shiny treasures on the market are almost worthless!
"Another 'Tianqing Medical Center' appeared in the south. There was a masked woman inside. She said she could cure any disease, and she could only treat monks above the Nascent Soul realm. There was a queue of ten miles to go to her to treat the disease.
Yunlu!
"There are rumors in several cities in the north that an ancient escapist family is about to appear, and several elders are going to join hands to fly to the immortal world. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Brother, where did you get this news?"
"I heard that!" Xiao Sheng glared back.
He adjusted his fake beard, and his face, made up like an old man, looked a little more helpless.
The squad leader and the others went to do some shopping for the sect. They asked me to come here to do such tiring work. They changed six or seven cities and six or seven makeup looks in one morning, and their mouths were almost dry!
The old man seemed to have heard about these news and the minor cultivators in the teahouse. Xiao Sheng picked a topic here, and the discussion quickly started.
Complete the task and switch to the next one.
at the same time.
In a Taoist temple on the mountainside with beautiful scenery.
The middle-aged Taoist dressed up by Zhou Zheng revealed part of his Taoist realm, and he smiled and said something to several respectful old men in robes.
Unexpectedly, Erying prepared too many spiritual stones.
Buy a small sect with a size of a hundred people, especially if there is no sect property. The main income of the sect depends on performing rituals for mortals and setting up stalls in the city to sell elixirs. There is only one sect in the sect of the Mahayana Supreme Elder. Eight
The Wan Ling Stone was settled.
"Everyone, I am just the current deacon of our Tianqing family. Most of the elders in our family are practicing escapism.
"The purpose of absorbing the noble sect now is to prepare for the birth of our aristocratic family.
"To be honest, the person who got rid of those monsters that day was my grandma from our family. Due to the rules of the upper world, my grandma did not dare to show up. After taking action, she immediately returned to the upper world... Could you please tell me about this matter?
You keep it a secret, you can’t tell anyone else casually.”
Zhou Zheng lowered his voice:
"Next, the demon clan will decline, and the world will definitely be in a great war between sects. I say this, do you understand?"
Several veterans were immediately silenced and nodded hurriedly.
"Here are 100,000 spirit stones. 80,000 is the price we negotiated. 20,000 is used to maintain the expenses of the sect. We can recruit more disciples as appropriate."
Zhou Zheng threw a storage ring over.
"Next, four or five of us will come to settle in, including myself and three deacons.
"Don't worry, we are just cultivating here and will not interfere with the operation of your sect. But please remember, from now on you will be the sect affiliated with my Tianqing Family.
"The next two years will be an observation period. We will collect information about this world and formulate next plans.
"Just pretend we're not here.
"But if you dare to do evil and do things that violate the motto of our Azure family, you will have to weigh the consequences yourself. Do you understand?"
Several veterans quickly agreed.
"Don't worry, we'll save you the trouble."
"Well," Zhou Zheng nodded slowly, "You prepare for one day, and I will come again at this time tomorrow."
"Fellow Taoist...sir!"
The old Taoist from the Mahayana stage frowned and said, "Why did you give me 20,000 more spiritual stones? This seems to be 120,000."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I personally paid for the many as a meeting gift for a few of you."
He smiled discreetly, and several experienced people understood something.
Is the competition within the Azure Family so fierce?
After the few of them took this spiritual stone, they were afraid that they would side with the chief deacon in the future...
After Zhou Zheng left, these old Taoists got together to discuss until midnight, and cleaned out the wooden buildings with the best scenery overnight.
The next day, after putting on makeup, Zhou Zheng, Li Zhiyong, and Xiao Sheng each revealed their Tao realms and appeared in this sect.
Three masters of the Mahayana stage came together, which directly shook away the last doubts in the hearts of these veterans.
Yue Wushuang hid her cultivation and became Xiao Sheng's 'niece'.
The four of them each chose a wooden building to stay in.
Since then, the four members of the team have formed a formation and practiced here, and this sect has successfully become their hiding place.
Ao Ying traveled alone and found an isolated island in the sea. She learned the dragon clan's combat skills every day and tried her best to improve her own cultivation. As soon as she officially fell in love, she started to get together and stay away from each other, which Zhou Zheng had never thought of before.
Ye Yan'er stayed in the secular world, seeing monks every day, and frantically accumulating spiritual stones and treasures.
According to Zhou Zheng's request, she collected a large number of top-notch elixirs in this small world; she also helped Li Zhiyong collect a lot of poisons and poisonous elixirs, as well as some rare poisonous elixir recipes.
Five people and one dragon are busy on their own.
Zhou Zheng, Li Zhiyong, and Xiao Sheng are working hard to understand the Tao every day, constantly cutting down the Tao realm and condensing the Tao foundation.
Zhou Zheng is pursuing the twelfth grade Qinglian to perfect the Taoist realm;
Xiao Sheng wanted to reduce the gaps in the Dao foundation in this life, but his own perception was not enough, so he directly used the second Laojun brand Dao Enlightenment Jade Talisman, trying to keep up with Zhou Zheng's pace.
Li Zhiyong spends half of his daily time practicing and half of his time refining poison pills.
It was obvious that the size of the big monster gave him a lot of 'dose' pressure.
There are no armors in the mountains, and you will not realize it when you practice.
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Zheng has beheaded the Dao realm forty-nine times. His own Dao foundation has reached the limit allowed by Heaven's Dao, and he has refined the thunder method and sword technique. The pure Yang Wuji mental method is improving on its own, and is about to reach the third level, but is deliberately suppressed by Zhou Zheng.
Went back.
Although there is no memory left in his previous life, he walked on the road once and left ruts. Zhou Zheng seemed to have found these marks, and his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.
Specializing in swordsmanship, his immortal treasure Hengdao would be wasted. Zhou Zheng planned to give this sword to Feng Bugui and Feng Dui.
On this day, Xiao Sheng took the initiative to find Zhou Zheng.
"Squad leader, I can't hold it in any longer! I'm afraid something will go wrong if I continue in the Taoist realm!"
"How many times have you beheaded?"
"Eighteen times, this should be my limit," Xiao Sheng said feeling somewhat ashamed.
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes flashing, and he took out the jade messenger charm.
"Let's gather together to overcome the tribulation and eliminate the demons."
