Chapter 164: Transcending the Tribulation! (Part 2)
Nine catastrophes.
That's it?
The monks who were observing from the outside saw the catastrophes falling one after another, and they all had similar thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that these nine catastrophes are far less 'exciting' than the eight evil catastrophes just now.
The old man who had overcome the calamity stood in the air with his hands behind his hands, his body wrapped in magic power, and he remained motionless even as the first few light purple thunderbolts struck him down.
Just like a rock facing the waves, it is constantly splitting layers of surging thunder.
A good catastrophe of nine annihilations gives people an intuitive feeling that it is not as fierce as the catastrophe of eight evils...
Li Zhiyong sighed secretly in his heart.
In order not to expose his fake, physical appearance, and master's unique skills, he can only face the catastrophe with his own body, which makes him a little helpless.
How wonderful it would be if this were a small world with no people, no demons, no gods, and only heaven bringing down calamities.
Unfortunately, everything is never perfect.
Li Zhiyong slowly raised his head. Even though it was a wig, it was still elegant.
The fifth heavenly tribulation is coming. It's time for you to make a move. If you don't let the heavenly tribulation hit you, you won't be able to open the door to Daozang.
The robbery is coming!
Li Zhi raised his hand fiercely, as if to catch the purple-red thunder falling from the sky, but his body was not caught by the thunder and was rubbed back and forth by the wind and fire.
His figure showed a trace of embarrassment, and a faint trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still maintained, maintained...the elegant nature of the wig.
When Zhou Zheng, who was twenty miles away, saw this, he felt inexplicably more at ease.
The battle ahead is dangerous, and the road ahead after overcoming the tribulation is unpredictable.
It's really reassuring to have a teammate who has so many trump cards that even I can't figure out.
Thunder roared and fire raged from the sky.
Li Zhiyong started his tribulation show, sometimes vomiting blood three times, and sometimes his clothes were in tatters. As the tribulation progressed to the seventh stage, Li Zhiyong was finally hacked to the ground.
But he quickly jumped up, with an angry look on his face, pointing to the sky and shouting:
"The way of heaven is universal, and the poor will have no regrets in life or death."
The calamity clouds in the sky continued to fall, and eight thunder balls slowly overflowed, quickly condensing into a purple-red thunder light, and quickly fell towards Li Zhiyong.
Li Zhiyong jumped up and dived into the thunder ball from mid-air, causing the thunder ball to explode with purple light all over the sky.
Soon, Li Zhiyong's 'broken' body fell from the air and fell to the ground, as if there was no sound.
The group of monks outside remained silent, just staring with wide eyes.
Soon, Li Zhiyong moved his fingers, and bursts of cheers erupted from the surrounding area, and many veteran practitioners who raised their breaths even beamed with joy.
"Work harder, senior!"
"If you survive the Nine Tribulations of Destruction, you will be the number one person in heaven and earth!"
"Senior, work hard!"
The calamity clouds in the sky continued to shrink, and Li Zhiyong slowly climbed up. With a little divine light in his eyes, he raised his head and swallowed several pills, and his body was quickly filled with mana.
Covered in blood, he took off again.
At this moment, the calamity cloud actually turned into a nine-story pagoda that looked like a real entity, carrying with it the vast power of heaven, it crashed down on Li Zhiyong.
Li Zhiyong shouted: "Give it a try!"
Zhou Zheng: What this guy said is true.
The next moment, Li Zhiyong got directly into the nine-story pagoda.
Suddenly there was a loud thunder and a strong wind, and Li Zhiyong's figure completely disappeared. What happened inside was impossible for the monks outside to find out.
Zhou Zheng always felt that the process of overcoming the tribulation might have been expected by Li Zhiyong.
How much stuff does this guy have hidden in his belly?
The monks from all over the periphery watched quietly, feeling that this was about to witness history. They held their breath and concentrated, trying to find out what kind of fierce confrontation took place inside through the thunderballs that spread fifty miles in the air.
The thunder lasted for a whole moment.
The monks seemed to have witnessed something, but also seemed to have seen nothing.
Finally, the thunder shattered and turned into countless pure spiritual energy, rushing toward the center.
Li Zhiyong sat cross-legged in the air, without the wig on his head, his face returned to his youthful appearance, his charred skin cracked inch by inch, a fragrance appeared between the heaven and the earth, and a ganoderma-shaped Qingyun appeared behind him.
He had seen the portal, but he did not move forward, but waited quietly.
Soon, the colorful light beams lit up, fairy music sounded in the sky, and two golden armored god generals appeared again with a white jade staircase.
This time, I almost laid in front of Li Zhiyong, only a few dozen meters away from him.
"Now that I have become an immortal, I will return to the immortal world."
"If there is no promotion at this time, please update!"
"Feel sorry!"
Li Zhiyong suddenly stood up, bowed in the air, and the hem of the robe he had just put on slowly fell down, and said loudly:
"The three of us practice together, and we should ascend together to create a good story. Please ask God to make it complete."
After saying this, Li Zhiyong did not wait for the other party's reply. He fell on the ground like a fallen leaf, arranged the barrier and formation, closed his eyes and meditated cross-legged. He was still twenty miles away from Zhou Zheng and Xiao Sheng.
The two divine generals in the air were stunned again.
The group of monks on the periphery also seemed to notice something strange.
A monk whispered: "Why do you feel that the divine envoy from the upper realm seems to be out of ideas?"
Immediately an old Taoist on the side scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? This should be just a ceremony to attract flying immortals. Do you understand the ceremony? It cannot be a real person, at most it is a projection or a brand."
All the monks nodded and felt that what the latter said was reasonable.
"Everyone, have you made it through?"
"You just realized it? Three people survived the tribulation and two became immortals. This is a feat!"
"We finally have a future in our world."
"I don't know how this third person will survive the catastrophe, and what kind of strange phenomena he will have, but I feel that this senior who has just survived the Nine Destructions is the first person in the monastic world since ancient times!"
"We should build a temple!"
"Well, there should be memorial arches everywhere!"
"It's a pity that we can't get guidance from this old man."
The area outside the Tribulation Field suddenly became lively.
Not only were a large number of monks gathered in the sky, but there were also some young faces on the ground, and more monks came from a distance after hearing the news.
All of this fell into Zhou Zheng's spiritual consciousness without fail.
It was quite different from what they had expected. The ceremony of welcoming the flying immortals was something deeply rooted in the bones of the monks in this small world. To overturn this concept, just a few words were far from enough.
He closed his eyes with a slight smile on his lips, as if he was waiting for something.
In the air, the two golden-armored generals seemed a little impatient, and the body of the left general even trembled slightly.
But nothing happened next.
The god general and the white jade ladder retracted at the same time.
Next, comes the highlight of their plan.
A flip flop.
This is a battle of patience and a test before the official war begins.
To put it simply, the longer Zhou Zheng delays, the more beneficial it will be for them. Brother Xiao and Lao Li will have time to digest the insights gained from the ascension and consolidate their rapid improvement.
Before overcoming the tribulation, Li Zhiyong secretly sent a message to Zhou Zheng and Xiao Sheng, reminding them about the ascension.
Overcoming tribulations and opening one’s own Taoist treasures;
Becoming an immortal is the initial integration of oneself with the great avenue of heaven and earth;
Ascension means that after opening one's own Dao Zang, one's own Dao Zang and the Dao Zang of heaven and earth resonate with each other, so one can push open the door and receive the 'welfare' of rapidly improving one's realm.
But this benefit takes time to digest.
They went through the tribulation in turn, and the third person bought this time for the first two. Because Zhou Zheng had reached a higher realm in his previous life, the [rut] was deep, and it was relatively easy to accept insights and consolidate his realm. It was the third person's
The best candidate.
'You two should slowly realize it.'
Zhou Zheng said this, closed his eyes and concentrated, pretending to be breaking through his final realm, but in fact he was desperately suppressing his last step.
He achieved fundamental perfection two years ago.
Cutting off the Dao realm will become more difficult in the end. The more complete the Dao foundation is, the more troublesome it will be to cut off the Dao realm.
Looking back on the pain of seclusion for the past two and a half years, Zhou Zheng also felt sad.
But he was also asking himself at this moment.
What else can I do before becoming an immortal?
In terms of Kung Fu, for the time being, I still use the Aoki Kung Fu as the basis, and the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu as a supplement.
In terms of supernatural powers and spells, most of the Chunyang Sword Techniques in the previous life have been understood by themselves, and the Five Thunder Zhengfa can be regarded as a "super master".
Although his magic weapon is a bit weak, he has the magic weapon refined by Lao Jun, and his fighting skills are enough for the time being.
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
If he, the Emperor of Qinghua, were directly defeated by the calamity of another world, it would be great fun.
Keep a steady hand, pillow the Nine-turn Golden Elixir in your hand, and keep the portrait of Laojun in your heart.
He will... break through the Heavenly Tribulation in a few days.
So, half a day later.
There was already a sea of people outside the Tribulation Field, and everyone was staring at Zhou Zheng, who was the only one left in the sky.
Twenty miles apart, in the previous two places of transcending tribulation, two colorful fairy cocoons had already wrapped Xiao Sheng and Li Zhiyong, and fairy lights would flicker from time to time.
The unseen side of this Little Thousand Worlds monk has also been revealed. He has no clue about the situation of the two immortals at this moment and can only make random guesses.
Some people even say that the two male immortals are secretly pregnant with each other...
"Why hasn't this senior overcome the calamity yet?"
"Don't panic, you can't control the tribulation. You have to reach a certain level and realize it. The way of heaven will generate its own response. Some seniors have been preparing for the tribulation for half a year before seeing the thunder."
"The third one is a bit weak. He must have little confidence."
"Silence! Stop talking nonsense! If you offend the Immortal, will your sect still have any more?"
"Why didn't the two immortals ascend? Isn't this the rule of the immortal world?"
"That's right, it seems that whether you ascend or not depends on your own free will?"
Zhou Zheng, who had been observing his surroundings, thought for a while and decided to get up and walk.
As soon as he made a move, there was an immediate silence everywhere.
But Zhou Zheng just strolled around in the air for half a circle, seemingly choosing a geomantic treasure place, and then sat down again, lowered his head, sighed softly, and murmured:
"Why is this last step so difficult for Pindao?"
There were monks everywhere speaking out words of encouragement, saying things like, "Senior, I will definitely win the battle." Zhou Zheng cupped his hands in all directions and continued to sit cross-legged and meditate with a smile.
He said in a deep voice:
"I need to get serious."
In this way, three days passed in a row.
It is another sunny day with the sun shining brightly and the wind being gentle.
Monks all over the mountains and plains were meditating, drinking, and chatting. There were even sects who sensed business opportunities and set up stalls in the clouds to sell some snacks to satisfy their cravings.
Below, Li Zhiyong and Xiao Sheng whispered:
"Lao Li, are you okay?"
"Well, the undigested insights have survived, and my own realm has become stable."
"Old Li, are you really an immortal?"
"Barely so. Don't tell others. After this war, I will still show you my Yuanxian realm. You should also hide your true immortal realm to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"What kind of trouble can this cause? It's up to you...are we going to show up now? Didn't we just wait three days?"
"Let me tell the squad leader that you cannot underestimate the intelligence of the big demon; do you feel it? It is watching you and me."
Xiao Sheng responded, looked down at the glowing lines on his palms, and smiled with satisfaction.
At that moment, Li Zhiyong's message penetrated directly into Zhou Zhengdao's heart.
The huge suppressive force in the realm actually made Li Zhiyong smile a little.
But Li Zhiyong knew that at this moment he could 'bully' Zhou Zheng.
"Monitor, let's start."
The time has come!
Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes. The seal and shackles imposed on him melted at the same time, and a mysterious and even somewhat obscure Taoist rhyme slowly unfolded around Zhou Zheng.
Below, Li Zhiyong frowned slightly.
Did the squad leader really reach the extreme Dao realm forty-nine times?
Is this going to be a problem? Although this method of killing the Dao realm has been improved by the master and has become gentle and has no side effects, forty-nine times is the theoretical limit. I kept my hand and only managed to kill forty-six times.
This kind of Tao foundation is enough to make his path to Golden Immortal smooth and smooth.
Not to mention the difficulty of beheading the Daoji for the last three times, let’s talk about the consequences of cutting the Daoji forty-nine times...
Li Zhiyong looked up and couldn't help feeling a little numb.
See you!
There is a circle of treasure wheels behind Zhou Zheng's head, a shadow of a twelve-grade green lotus appears under his body, and a faint Tai Chi diagram hovers slightly behind him.
boom!
There was a loud thunder in the sky, and all the creatures in the small world were startled. All the clouds within a thousand miles radius gathered towards this place, and nine spiritual energy vortexes appeared between the sky and the earth.
Zhou Zheng looked confused and glanced at the sky.
Is he...being targeted?
It doesn't matter, he took a shortcut to overcome the tribulation in another world and ascend. Since the way of heaven here is selfless, there is no reason why he can't survive his own tribulation.
He didn't dare to be too big at all, so he wrapped each spiritual elixir with magic power and sent it into his belly. He also placed the Nine Turns Golden elixir in a position that could be reached at any time. He took out the Yin Yang Sword refined by Lao Jun and stepped on one side.
White clouds.
The ring in his hand trembled slightly.
The fairy egg, which had been silent since entering the other world, seemed to want to forcefully break out of its shell to help Zhou Zheng defend against the enemy, but Zhou Zheng calmed it down with his spiritual consciousness and put the ring into his wristband.
.
Buzz
The calamity clouds in the sky suddenly trembled, as if a thunder pool had collapsed, and a purple curtain of thunder fell overhead.
Zhou Zheng remained motionless and accepted the baptism of the first heavenly tribulation.
The clouds of calamity began to surge, and the monks around him started shouting.
"Nine annihilations! Nine annihilations again!"
"Why isn't this like a pagoda? Why is it... there are pavilions and palaces on it, like the rumored Palace of the Emperor of Heaven?"
"What are the backgrounds of these three seniors? Do they have any disciples?"
"I would like to become a disciple!"
Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked up at the sky, his face neither sad nor happy, and his figure flew into the air.
The second thunder curtain fell. Zhou Zheng raised his sword and slashed upwards. He slashed open the thunder curtain with an unflashy upward move, as if he was strolling in a courtyard and escaping into the clouds of calamity.
A real man should have a hand-to-hand fight with Heavenly Tribulation!
In an instant, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the calamity clouds kept rolling, boundless spiritual energy rolled in, and the shadows of swords seemed to cut through the sky.
In the light cocoon below, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but mutter: "When did the squad leader's sword become so powerful?"
Li Zhiyong thought for a while and smiled casually: "Lu Dongbin's sword is his sword."
Xiao Sheng:......
It makes sense.
After passing three or four lightning tribulations in a row, a sword shadow opened the sky, and Zhou Zheng fell out.
He was a little embarrassed, and the flaming earth fire wrapped around his feet proved that he had no obvious karma. He rushed forward for a moment, turned his head and glared.
From behind, a group of silver-armored immortal soldiers made up of thunderbolts lined up, like worker bees coming out of the nest, surrounding Zhou Zheng.
The group of monks on the periphery:...
Numb.
They looked numb directly.
Everything that is happening now has exceeded the scope of their knowledge.
The things about overcoming the tribulation that were circulated before are not like this at all!
Zhou Zheng killed indiscriminately with his sword.
If the sword is shaking randomly, it actually coincides with the way of the sword. The shadow of the sword is flying, and Teacher Bing Ning's sword move is at your fingertips.
When he was overflowing with pride, he rushed into the calamity cloud again.
Like Bima Wen who was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, or like Erlang Shen who hacked at the Nantian Gate, one man and one sword killed each other from the bottom of the robbery cloud to the top of the cloud!
The sixth path, the seventh path!
The calamity cloud seems to have no choice but to resist this person who has overcome the calamity.
Thunder struck him, but he didn't move at all!
The earthly fire burned in his heart, but he couldn't produce any inner demons!
The wind of heaven and the water of yin cannot break his body, mind and soul!
The eighth way!
The calamity cloud suddenly condensed into a giant. A stream of cloud mist directly grasped Zhou Zheng, who was running around in the cloud, and pressed it to the ground. The giant opened its mouth, and endless power of heaven poured out of it.
A thunder spot flashed crazily in the giant's mouth!
Zhou Zheng was restrained by the Heavenly Dao of his own world and could not move.
Li Zhiyong's expression in the light cocoon was extremely solemn, and Xiao Sheng couldn't help but rush out of the light cocoon.
Hidden in the sky, Ye Yan'er watched this scene quietly, but there was only determination in her eyes. She believed that Zhou Zheng could do it.
And Ao Ying, who was hiding near the high-altitude monster, was almost bleeding from her palms!
Is this the power of heaven?
Zhou Zheng was lying on the ground. Although he had the strength to fight, he was pinned down by this 'Tiandao Giant' and was unable to move.
In fact, the power level of the force that suppressed him has surpassed this calamity by several levels.
This calamity is what he must overcome!
Zhou Zheng inhaled sharply, and now he had returned to his original appearance. He stared at the giant's mouth, crushing all the spiritual pills in his body, and a stream of spiritual energy filled everywhere.
Thunder is about to explode!
Zhou Zheng seemed to see a dark word "death" behind the giant, and there were even more black lines between the sky and the earth.
Is this the way of heaven in its prime?
Although he had just passed through the catastrophe of becoming an immortal, Zhou Zheng really felt the terror of the flourishing Heavenly Dao at this moment.
He suddenly understood why the Great Heavenly Lord took such a desperate risk.
Such pressure;
Such a powerful, invisible, omnipresent, and omnipresent existence;
It can indeed create a strong sense of crisis among those in power.
but.
But these are not reasons to gamble with lives and ignore innocent people!
Anger suddenly emerged in Zhou Zheng's heart.
He seemed to be back in front of the Lingxiao Palace. He slowly stood up from his knees, his figure was shaky, and there was nothing more sorrowful than death.
Heaven has failed me.
But I can't let myself down!
I gave in in my previous life, but in this life, I will fight if I have to!
"come!"
Zhou Zheng hugged the veins in his neck, and the giant's palms actually became slightly loose.
Countless thunder spots erupted at the same time, and a pure white thunder erupted from the giant's mouth, hitting Zhou Zheng on the head and driving Zhou Zheng straight into the ground!
The mountains are melting and the ground is dissolving.
The monks on the outside looked at all this in stunned silence.
The thunder pillars seemed endless.
The giant of heaven collapsed, the calamity clouds shrank inward, and a deep pit was carved out of the ground by lightning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the barren mountain disappeared.
The lightning lasted for about a stick of incense.
When the thunder dissipated, the sky was cloudless again, and everything between heaven and earth was silent. There was only the continuously surging magma in the deep pit, and the somewhat blurry human figure.
"This senior..."
A young monk suddenly shouted:
"Don't die, senior!"
"senior!"
"senior!"
The vague human form suddenly burst out with two divine lights.
But Zhou Zheng opened his eyes and looked up into the sky. His figure slowly floated up. It was like a black hole appeared in his body, and boundless spiritual power surged in, swallowing all of it.
The original camouflage and a layer of charred skin fell off at the same time, revealing its white and tender but strong body.
He took out his robe and wrapped it around himself, opened his right hand, and a fairy sword flew out of the lava and fell into his hand.
Although he didn't know why he said this, Zhou Zheng slowly exhaled, and as the colorful rays of light rose up, San Mu Qingyun appeared behind him. He slowly clenched his left fist and murmured in a low voice:
"I'm back."
‘Don’t you, monitor, have to deliberately digest your thoughts on ascension?’
Li Zhiyong walked out of the light cocoon, and Xiao Sheng broke through the wall of spiritual energy with a gun.
Zhou Zheng swung his sword forward, and a flash of sword light split the sky.
The two Golden Armor Heavens who were about to fly down threw their heads away. The monks everywhere who were about to move forward to celebrate were stunned and at a loss.
The remains of the two golden-armored god generals shook slightly, and suddenly turned into two flesh-colored, translucent tentacles. The ends of the tentacles shone with a faint fairy light, and drops of black blood spilled out of them.
Gu Gu Gu Gu
There was a strange sound in the sky, and dark clouds suddenly filled the clear sky.
Zhou Zheng saw the door and pushed it open without hesitation, but he raised his head and stared at the sky without any intention of retreating.
