Chapter 163: Transcending the Tribulation! (Part 1)
'Overcoming tribulations and eliminating demons.'
Deep in the vast ocean to the east, a white dragon opened its eyes from the bottom of the sea. The dragon's power quickly converged, and it transformed into a human form accompanied by Zhou Zheng's voice and bursts of fairy light.
It’s Ao Ying Benying.
She wore silver-white battle armor and held a spear in her hand.
Ao Ying didn't like to use guns, but among the dragon clan's tactics, the spear method was the most powerful and the fastest.
Moreover, in her personal treasure house, there is a forbidden divine spear dipped in the blood of the ancestral dragon. It is extremely sharp and can be used to eliminate demons.
at the same time.
In a big city in the south.
Ye Yan'er stretched out behind the screen, and the black skirt she wore turned into ashes and floated away. Her snow-white skin was exposed for a moment, but a layer of black gelcoat spread out from outside.
She took half a step back and disappeared on the spot, leaving a group of monks waiting outside where they were.
…
The team's second collective meeting was held in the wooden building where Zhou Zheng lived.
As soon as Ao Ying appeared, Zhou Zheng was obviously stunned for a moment. If it weren't for the exclusive verification method of "she blushes when they look at each other for more than ten seconds", Zhou Zheng would almost not dare to admit it.
Having said that, her warrior look is quite cool.
The blood-colored spear, the tight-fitting silver armor, the palm-sized oval face was full of majesty at first, and the pair of almond-shaped eyes contained the might of a dragon.
Unfortunately, after Zhou Zheng stared at her for ten seconds, Ao Ying turned her head away in embarrassment and whispered:
"Don't look at me like that, I'm going to fight."
"Yeah, seriously."
Zhou Zheng let out a breath, looked around, and said with a smile: "How are you guys preparing?"
"These are for you."
Ye Yan'er brushed her palm across the table, and storage rings jumped out one after another, making jingling noises.
"Xiao Zheng asked me to collect all kinds of treasures and elixirs to see if any of them can be used."
"Zhiyong, take inventory," Zhou Zheng said, "Use what you can."
Li Zhiyong smiled and said: "Squad leader, have you forgotten that the Spirit Exploding Technique you gave me before can detonate fairy treasures or magic weapons and injure the enemy. As long as it is a treasure, it is probably useful."
Zhou Zheng blinked.
Li Zhiyong blinked back calmly.
"Yes," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "I remember that I gave you five spiritual secrets at that time. Where did the other four come from? I have been in seclusion for too long, and my memory is a bit messed up."
Several people on the side suddenly understood something and looked at Li Zhiyong.
Li Zhiyong's smile froze and he immediately said: "Let's discuss the business first. If you need it later, monitor, you can just bring it out to everyone...I'll do the inventory first."
After saying that, this guy honestly took away these storage rings and went to work as a bookkeeper.
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to chat about his spiritual insights in the past two and a half years. Ao Ying talked about the dragon combat skills she now mastered, and Ye Yaner shared the information she had recently learned.
Xiao Shengyan said that he was ready to overcome the catastrophe, and at the same time he created a self-confidence that could trigger the catastrophe by simply unblocking this feeling.
Yue Wushuang's pretty face looked a little gloomy.
Because she is not in a hurry to ascend immediately, she has recently begun to think about the method of killing the Dao realm. She still has one of the two Laojun Dao Enlightenment coins she got from the last mission, ready to use after consolidating the realm.
After Li Zhiyong sorted the various treasures into categories, made a list, and placed it in the center of the table, the meeting entered the formal agenda.
How to survive the calamity;
And how to get rid of demons.
Zhou Zheng said: "We need a plan."
"I suggest! The three of us go through the tribulation together in different places!"
Xiao Sheng said directly:
"Catch the opponent off guard first, draw the monster out, and make it difficult for him to deal with it. Our own masters will wait for the opportunity to sneak attack!"
"Then what?" Li Zhiyong asked back.
"Huh? What else do you want? Then, this is the whole plan!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "The idea is right, but there are basically no details. Does Zhiyong have a more detailed plan?"
"I just made some preparations."
Li Zhiyong pondered for a few times. At this time, he was wearing a robe and a wig as the Romans did. He groped in his sleeves for a while and took out a foot-thick pile of paper.
Several people around took a closer look, and saw that the sheets of white paper were filled with densely packed small characters, and not a single bit of paper space was wasted.
"My life is at stake," Zhou Zheng pinched his thigh to cheer himself up, "Come, let's discuss this together."
Ao Ying and Yue Wushuang nodded seriously.
Ye Yan'er and Brother Xiao turned pale and looked at Zhou Zheng bitterly, wondering if there was any work they could do to be lazy.
Li Zhiyong said warmly: "You may think it's a lot, but it's actually the main body of the plan, plus backup countermeasures for various situations. I've written it relatively concisely."
"Come and see, life is important."
Zhou Zheng unfolded the first drawing with fearlessness.
So, they held the pre-war preparation meeting all day and all night.
Early on the next morning, Zhou Zheng and the others summoned the heads and elders of their sects.
Zhou Zheng kept his middle-aged appearance, while Li Zhiyong and Xiao Sheng still looked old. They sat in the three armchairs, maintaining serious faces and a bit of majesty.
Zhou Zheng said slowly: "The time has come."
The group of local monks standing below were confused.
"As the saying goes, you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while," Zhou Zheng said. "In the past few years, I have not asked you to do anything, but I have given you many classics and elixirs, and also given some guidance on how to practice."
Several old men below bowed at the same time, and one of them said: "Sir, your kindness and kindness will be borne in mind by everyone in this sect. Please give me your instructions."
"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything harmful to nature."
Zhou Zheng took out a brocade bag from his sleeve. The brocade bag was wrapped in a chain made of mana. If it was forcibly opened, the brocade bag would explode on its own.
"There are two things," Zhou Zheng said slowly. "The first one is that the three of us are going to survive the tribulation together. This is also part of the preparation for building momentum for our family. Each of you will send disciples to post notices everywhere and spread the news as much as possible.
Spread far and wide.”
"Together we will survive the tribulation?"
All the Taoists looked shocked.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand gently and continued:
"The second thing is to keep this brochure safe. When the seal on this brocade bag is opened, you can read the letter I left inside or not read the letter inside. You can make your own decision at that time."
Several people looked puzzled, but still bowed their heads and said yes.
"Go ahead and spread the news first."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Three tribulations appear at the same time, I'm afraid it will shake the entire cultivation world."
"It must be, it must be!"
All the Taoists congratulated and wished these three unfamiliar fellow Taoists to become immortals and ascend in the daytime.
Zhou Zheng chuckled in his heart.
I don’t know how they will feel when they see the next battle.
…
The news quickly spread to every corner of this small world.
The masters of the three major vehicle stages survived the tribulation at the same time. Although it cannot be said to be unprecedented, it is also unprecedented.
What does this mean?
This shows that at least two of these three masters did not wait until their energy and blood were about to run dry before choosing to overcome the calamity, but they wanted to confront the calamity head-on with a heart for the Tao.
If you succeed, you will become a fairy; if you fail, you will lose your soul!
The place chosen by Zhou Zheng to overcome the tribulation was the place where Zuoyue Lao Tao ascended last time, and was considered by the monks to be ‘borrowing good luck’.
Seven days after the news broke.
The middle-aged Zhou Zheng, Li Zhiyong and Xiao Sheng dressed as old men appeared together in the sky above the Tribulation Field.
The three of them were separated by twenty miles from each other, forming an angle and meditating on three white clouds.
There were waves of congratulations from the outside.
Although before this, no one in the local monastic community knew the existence of these three masters; but throughout the ages, there have been some reclusive masters who like to practice in a low-key manner?
In addition, there was a well-known sect that had publicized this matter, and the local monks subconsciously regarded these three people as their "ones".
Normal people would not associate it with [visitors from another world].
According to the plan, Xiao Sheng was the first to begin to understand the Great Way and take the last step before becoming an immortal.
He thought it was nothing at first, but during the actual operation, he felt great pressure.
The understanding of the Great Dao is not something that can be obtained casually;
In his previous life, he was just the security captain of a fairy palace in heaven. In this life, he is also nicknamed Xiao Pingneck.
If it suddenly gets stuck and encounters another bottleneck...
The matter of being famous in this life has basically gone away from him.
Fortunately.
Boom!
A fairy light flashed around Xiao Sheng, and a muffled thunder sounded in the air.
He opened his eyes, swallowed more than a dozen shining elixirs into his belly, wrapped the elixirs with magic power, then lowered his legs, stood with his hands behind his back, looked up and stared at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, the corners of his mouth showing
A faint smile.
Although he didn’t know why he did this, Xiao Sheng followed Li Zhiyong’s instructions and said loudly:
“As a poor Taoist, what I have been pursuing so far is to have a clear conscience, and what I have cultivated is to be upright.
"Today I have gained enlightenment and become an immortal through precious treasures. I should face the heavenly calamity in order to understand myself.
“The way of heaven is selfless, the way of heaven is ruthless!
"If a poor Taoist cannot hold on, he only blames his own lack of Taoism and has no intention of blaming Heaven!"
Rumble
A thunder dragon appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and two whirlpools appeared in the center. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles quickly gathered towards this place.
Zhou Zheng looked at it intently.
Being twenty miles away from those who are overcoming the tribulation, they will not be classified as ‘helpers in overcoming the tribulation’.
If there are helpers to overcome the tribulation, the power of the tribulation will be doubled.
There have been tragedies in this small world where, in order to deal with an enemy who was about to transcend the tribulation and ascend, some people risked their lives to break into the tribulation field and died together with the Mahayana master.
A bolt of lightning struck down, and a dark blue thunder pillar with a diameter of two meters appeared!
Xiao Sheng was not weak at all. A mana shield appeared above his head, holding a spear in his hand. He raised his hand and stood tall, bathed in the light of thunder.
When the lightning dissipated, Xiao Sheng remained motionless, looking up at the surging dark clouds in the sky.
He is directly below, but you can't see anything with the naked eye.
But don’t bother checking, there are already people outside the Tribulation Field shouting:
"Eight layers? The clouds are divided into eight layers! It turns out to be the calamity of the eight evils! Oh my god! Isn't this true!"
"Fellow Taoist, be silent! Be silent!"
"I never thought that this senior, whom I have never met before, would have such a strong Taoist foundation and lead the way of heaven to bring about eight evil tribulations. It is amazing and praiseworthy!"
"Then senior is panicked?"
Panic?
Xiao Sheng pointed his spear at an angle and rose into the sky.
Zhan Jie Yun!
The calamity cloud in the sky was aroused by him, and it directly smashed down the second level of calamity. A light purple thunder pillar fell from the front, hitting Xiao Sheng in an instant.
Xiao Sheng was not afraid at all, with a spear like a dragon, he attacked from the front, his body crashed into the thunder tribulation, and he broke into the tribulation cloud against the thunder pillar!
The third way, the fourth way, the fifth way!
Three thunderbolts flashed in succession, and Xiao Sheng roared.
But when the sixth catastrophe broke out, Xiao Sheng couldn't stand it anymore.
A small amount of black flames surrounded his body and fell from the sky. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was enduring the pain of being burned by the earth's fire and blown by the wind.
Soon, he opened his eyes and looked up into the sky.
The auditorium outside, where most of the local monastic elites gathered, was silent.
"Why are fellow Taoists so ferocious?"
"This, can you survive the tribulation like this? Don't you need to calculate the consumption of mana in your body?"
"Is it possible that today we will witness the immortals who ascended after the eight evil tribulations?"
Boom!
This explosion sounded like the wrath of heaven!
Xiao Sheng's face showed a solemn expression, the spear passed across diagonally, and the shadow of the heavenly general appeared behind him.
Thunder flashes, earth fire rolls, and sky wind falls!
Xiao Sheng danced with a gun, as if there was an invisible enemy in front of him. The gun shadows remained in the air. After a moment, the gun shadows seemed to come to life and rolled towards the thunder.
The lightning struck Xiao Sheng and exploded into thousands of thunders.
Xiao Sheng vomited blood, but he successfully withstood the seventh heavenly tribulation.
The last one!
Zhou Zheng and Li Zhiyong both sweated for Xiao Sheng and stared at Xiao Sheng intently.
Roar
The roar of the beast sounded, and the calamity cloud suddenly collapsed inward, and a giant one-legged beast made of thunder raised its head and roared.
The ancient mythical beast, Kui Niu?
No, it's not the Kui Niu in my hometown's legend. This giant beast is obviously the horns of a sheep.
Zhou Zheng felt a little enlightened in his heart.
The 'other world' that I am in at this time is indeed the universe closest to my own world. The principles of Tao are basically the same, and the mythical beasts that are born are also very similar.
This giant beast is not a living thing, but a virtual image formed by the heavenly calamity, and it is also Xiao Sheng's last heavenly calamity.
The giant beast swallowed up Jie Yun, lowered its head and dived head-on towards Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng took a sharp breath, catalyzing more than ten pills in his body, and one person shot into the sky. But the next moment, the gun flew into the sky, and he was knocked down by the giant beast, and hit the tribulation field below!
The collision blew up smoke and dust for ten miles and shattered half of the barren mountain!
Even the cultivators outside the Tribulation Field were affected, and they all showed their magic weapons and activated their magic power.
The majesty of heaven is so terrifying.
Even an immortal who has just become an immortal may not be able to withstand the calamity of the Eight Evils!
Yue Wushuang, who had been hiding in the corner, pursed her lips tightly, no longer daring to look at the central area where the lightning was raging.
Zhou Zheng and Li Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with a faint smile on their lips.
The thunder lasted for a moment.
A monk asked in a low voice: "Then senior...has Xiangxiaoyu died?"
"What nonsense! That senior is a man!"
"Alas, the eight evil tribulations are indeed just evil tribulations. Heaven does not allow you to become an immortal. Heaven does not allow you to become an immortal."
Suddenly I heard a voice: "That senior moved! He moved!"
The monks stared at each other, all dumbfounded.
In the distance, the thunder beasts had disappeared, leaving thunder pools on the ground. The thunder pools were also rapidly dissipating, turning into streams of pure spiritual energy, and flowing towards the large pit in the middle.
Xiao Sheng, who was completely charred, jumped up, his clothes turned into ashes and fell, and his charred skin fell off like the skin of a roasted sweet potato.
He casually summoned the cyan armor, battle skirt, and trousers he had prepared earlier.
These pieces of clothing turned into fairy light and stuck to his body. When they were revealed again, they fit Xiao Sheng perfectly.
He has now returned to his true appearance, but the surrounding monks all thought that he had survived the catastrophe and gained a longer lifespan, which was equivalent to living a second life, and there was no doubt about it.
A beam of colorful rays of light emerged from Xiao Sheng's body and illuminated the entire sky.
Xiao Sheng looked up, heard sweet fairy music, and saw two beams of golden light falling from the sky, transforming into two golden armored god generals standing in the air, their figures were ethereal and indistinct, as if they were just illusions.
A white jade staircase hangs down, ending on the cloud where two god generals stand.
Xiao Sheng had the urge to fly over. This had been anticipated in Lao Li's plan.
There are monks on the periphery who bow their heads and salute, hoping to gain some impression points in the upper realm.
But Xiao Sheng didn't even look at it. He just sat cross-legged and meditated, and began to feel his own Taoism.
The Tao realms that had been cut off before, and the insights accumulated over time, poured out like spring water at this moment. Xiao Sheng vaguely saw a door opening to him, and it seemed that as long as he stepped into it, he could obtain countless Taoist treasures.
This is the opportunity to ascend!
Although the heaven here is harsh, it still follows the principle of no pain, no gain. After surviving the heavenly tribulation, the Tao foundation is transformed into the immortal foundation, and you can reap this harvest.
Xiao Sheng was about to take a walk inside the door...
"Now that I have become a fairy, I will return to the fairy world!"
The two golden-armored god generals shouted:
“If we don’t get promoted now, then when will we wait?”
Xiao Sheng said calmly: "My friend and I are intertwined in life, and the three of us will go through the tribulation at the same time. There is no reason for me to go first and my friend to go later. I'd rather bother you two to wait."
The two golden-armored generals seemed to be stunned, standing blankly in the air.
The group of monks around him were also stunned. Facing this scene that had never happened before, they didn't know how to comment other than secretly sighing that this senior was really fierce.
Suddenly listen.
Rumble!
A group of dark clouds appeared in the sky, but Li Zhiyong stood up slowly, with green lotus flowers floating around him, and looked up to the sky.
The catastrophe appears!
The two divine generals and the white jade stairs simultaneously turned into divine light and flew back to the sky.
'really.'
Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart.
The monster who uses this place as a breeding ground and specializes in abducting newly ascended immortals has nothing to do with the way of heaven in this world.
Xiaoyin once said that the way of heaven in this world does not produce consciousness.
The monster obviously created a lie and needed to ascend to the upper world after passing through the tribulation.
Then, because this small world is isolated and helpless, there will be no outside immortals who will use this lie to hunt down immortals.
Since this monster has no local heavenly support, it is not invincible.
This is a bit heavenly.
It is selfless and only operates according to its own rules, while also giving living creatures the opportunity to adapt to these rules.
Boom!
The sky trembled, and the spiritual energy within a radius of three hundred miles rushed towards this place at the same time. Various strange phenomena appeared in the sky, as if a ball of thunder and fire was about to crash down.
Li Zhiyong's expression remained unchanged, he just stood quietly with his hands behind his back, like a strong pine and cypress.
When the first catastrophe fell, Li Zhiyong was unscathed and his magic shield could not move.
And there were already exclamations one after another outside the Tribulation Field.
"One, two, three...seven, eight, nine! Like a nine-story pagoda! Nine catastrophes of destruction! This! Who is this senior!"
"Dead, this senior is dead! If the three of them practice together, they might be able to survive the eight evil tribulations!"
"Why did Jiu Mie even appear?"
"This is the first time! This!"
In the hole created by the previous calamity.
Xiao Sheng, who took back a bunch of insights from the great road behind that door, curled his lips.
Damn it, I was still outclassed by Lao Li!
Xiao Sheng, however, immediately followed their plan and put on several layers of disguise for himself, and then immediately picked up those Tao insights, allowing his Tao realm to skyrocket.
