Just when Jiang Beiran was worried about whether Wu Qingce could pass this level, the twenty-eight soul-suppressing chains locking the Ksitigarbha Cauldron began to tremble crazily.
'very good.'
While playing the piano, Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, knowing that Wu Qingce had passed the most difficult test.
At the same time, Jiang Beiran's style of music once again changed from encouraging to calming, while he carefully observed the movements of the Ksitigarbha tripod.
…
In the Ksitigarbha tripod, Wu Qingce's consciousness has awakened, but he can't open his eyes because he doesn't know where his eyes are, or...his eyes are gone.
Not only his vision, Wu Qingce found that his hearing, taste, touch, etc. had also all disappeared. This feeling was very strange.
He knew he was awake, but he felt nothing.
There is only infinite chaos around.
Just when Wu Qingce was at a loss, a cold tingling sensation suddenly swept over him, but this tingling sensation made Wu Qingce extremely excited.
Because his world was finally no longer just chaos, the cold stinging feeling was like a path leading him home, so that he could no longer just look around blankly.
As the cold stinging feeling became stronger and stronger, Wu Qingce also began to speed up his "pace", trying to find a way back.
But searching and searching, Wu Qingce found that the road ahead was only cold. He wanted to look back, but found that the whole world was only cold.
In a dilemma, a melodious piano sound suddenly sounded in this cold world, which made him feel extremely at ease.
'It's senior brother!'
The moment he knew that his senior brother was guiding him, the original anxiety in Wu Qingce's heart disappeared instantly.
He no longer blindly speeds up his "pace", but stops and observes his surroundings.
After an unknown period of time, Wu Qingce began to feel that the sound of the piano was getting clearer and clearer, and that the sound of the piano no longer echoed throughout the world, but came from a certain direction.
'That's it!'
Chasing the sound of the piano, Wu Qingce began to "run" crazily, and in the process of "running", the aroma of wine, moisture, color and the increasingly real pain were constantly felt by Wu Qingce.
"ah!!!!"
Inside the Ksitigarbha tripod, a roar that echoed through the sky rose into the sky, as if to announce to the whole world.
He is back!
Seeing that only half of the lotus lantern was left above the Ksitigarbha tripod, Jiang Beiran slowly stopped playing the piano.
"You are really lucky."
'That's not right, maybe this is luck.'
Standing up, Jiang Beiran picked up the soul-suppressing bell and shook it. The twenty-eight soul-suppressing chains were withdrawn at the same time, revealing the charred figure covered with gold charms inside.
Slowly walking to the Ksitigarbha cauldron, Jiang Beiran tapped the Ksitigarbha cauldron twice with his index finger and said with a smile, "Are you awake?"
"Click..."
With a crisp sound, the layers of blood scabs on Wu Qingce's face gradually broke apart, revealing the fair skin underneath.
"Thank you, senior brother, I slept very comfortably this time."
"Then get up quickly."
"yes!"
With a low cry, all the blood scabs on Wu Qingce's body broke apart, revealing a brand new body.
Jumping out of the Ksitigarbha tripod, Wu Qingce took out a dark-white Luo shirt from the Qiankun ring and put it on. He knelt on one knee in front of his senior brother and said with his hands in his hands: "Senior brother, for the kindness of rebuilding, Qingce..."
"Okay, you know I don't like hearing this."
"Yes!" Wu Qingce saluted and stood up.
Compared with the last time he was promoted, this time he did not feel that his body did not belong to him, but could clearly feel the powerful power contained in his body.
A terrifying power that is so strong that even he himself is afraid of it!
"Did you meet your inner demon just now?" Jiang Beiran asked.
Wu Qingce immediately lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I saw it..."
"No need to tell me." Jiang Beiran waved his hand, "Only you can solve the knot of inner demons. The enlightenment and persuasion of others will only make you more confused. There is only one thing I want to tell you. Before your next promotion,
You have to face your inner demons and conquer them."
Wu Qingce was startled after hearing this, and responded with a sonorous and forceful response: "Yes!"
Wu Qingce knew very well what his inner demon was, and he also knew that if his senior brother had not appeared just now, he would have been burned by the black flames and died.
Just like what he thought in his "dream".
He simply trusted his senior brother unconditionally as before, but he still didn't understand the deep meaning of his senior brother's words, and those words were still like a sharp needle halfway piercing his heart.
But this time!
He will definitely face this problem head-on and find his own answer!
Never run away again!
After checking Wu Qingce with his mental power and finding that his cultivation was at the first level of Xuanwang, Jiang Beiran patted Wu Qingce on the shoulder and said.
"You suppressed it very well. I thought you would directly become the fifth level Xuan King. It seems you have taken my words to heart."
After hearing this, Wu Qingce immediately raised his hands and said, "Senior brother, I will keep every word in my heart. You said that no matter what you do, laying the foundation is the most important. Haste... leads to waste."
"That's right." Jiang Beiran nodded happily, stretched out his hand and patted Wu Qingce's shoulder twice and said, "You have grown up, you have really grown up."
"Thank you, senior brother, for your affirmation."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "You should also be more sure of yourself, and don't always wait for me to confirm you."
Wu Qingce was stunned after hearing this. His senior brother's words in the "dream" just now, "You have to become stronger for yourself, not to repay me for your kindness." echoed in his ears.
But Wu Qingce clenched his fists and decided to rebel once.
'No! My purpose of becoming stronger is to repay my kindness to my senior brother!'
'But I will still find my own way!'
"Go out, I'll clean up this place."
After hearing what his senior brother said, Wu Qingce knew that staying to help would only get in the way, so he said "yes" and exited the formation room.
"Senior Brother Wu!"
At the entrance of the formation room, Qu Yangze and Xia Lingdang shouted in surprise at the same time.
Wu Qingce grinned and cupped his hands towards the two of them.
Upon seeing this, the two men immediately returned the salute and shouted at the same time, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Wu for successfully being promoted to King Xuan!"
After the three of them chatted for a while, they heard a "squeak" sound and the door of the formation room was pushed open.
The three people quickly turned around and saluted Jiang Beiran who came out.
"Senior Brother (Master) (Master)"
Slowly walking up to the three of them, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce and said, "Do you want to try your current strength?"
Wu Qingce couldn't help but trembled after hearing this.
Of course he thought, since he was successfully promoted, he felt that his body had completely changed, and the thunder spirit energy in his body had almost changed to the point that he no longer recognized it.
He actually wanted to find an open space to vent his anger immediately, but he still suppressed this desire.
Now it seems that his little thoughts cannot be hidden from his senior brother.
Seeing Wu Qingce's stunned expression, Jiang Beiran no longer waited for him to answer, but looked directly at Qu Yangze and said, "Yangze, you have a fight with Senior Brother Wu. I'm watching, so there's no need to hold back."
After hearing this, Qu Yangze immediately responded: "Yes!"
In fact, he has always been eager to fight with all his strength, but he has never had a suitable opponent, or he has been waiting for his senior brother to help him arrange it.
Now that he had finally waited for this moment, he couldn't be more excited.
Seeing the two disciples gearing up, Jiang Beiran said: "I'll go and decorate the practice room first, and you can come back after a stick of incense."
"Yes!" The two of them said together.
Nowadays, the destructive power of these two people is amazing. If there is no preparation, the practice room will be easily demolished, so Jiang Beiran decided to set up a formation first.
After burning incense, Qu Yangze and Wu Qingce arrived at the exercise room on time. Looking at the several extra bronze sculptures in the room, they knew that their senior brother had already set up the formation.
Nodding towards the two people who walked to the center of the practice room, Jiang Beiran said directly: "Let's get started."
"Senior brother, I'm offended." Qu Yangze first said, cupping his hands.
"bring it on!"
Wu Qingce pulled out Wan Jun and channeled his profound energy.
"Boom!!"
At this time, there was only an explosion, and a burst of purple thunder spirit energy burst out from Wu Qingce's body. No...it was more like a thunder cloud than thunder spirit energy.
Not to mention that Wu Qingce himself was surprised by this situation, even Jiang Beiran didn't expect it at all.
He originally thought that the thunder spirit energy in Wu Qingce's body would turn into pure thunder spirit energy after taking Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill, but now it seems that what Wu Qingce is erupting now is obviously not thunder spirit energy.
Jiang Beiran thought of two reasons that could lead to this result.
First, his Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill was modified by his own magic. Although it was successful in the end, it may no longer be the Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill, but his own unique elixir.
The second is that Wu Qingce took the Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill when he was promoted to Xuan King this time.
Maybe some kind of metaphysical reaction broke out between the two, but his thunder aura became what it is now.
Of course, it is also possible that both reasons account for part of it.
But no matter what, Jiang Beiran could feel that the thunder aura erupted from Wu Qingce was very extraordinary, because it was no longer as simple as aura.
After Wu Qingce was stunned for a moment, he tried to control the thunder spirit. With this control, the purple thunder cloud instantly expanded as if it was inflated. In just one breath, it enveloped the entire practice.
house.
Jiang Beiran, who felt that his vision was completely blocked by purple clouds, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
‘It’s really not that simple.’
Reiki exists as a "special effect" when practitioners exercise their skills. Generally, it has no other effect except for being fancy.
However, after Jiang Beiran saw people being beaten with "special effects", he unexpectedly saw "special effects" become a real environment so quickly.
That's right, the purple thundercloud erupted by Wu Qingce could be seen and touched. Jiang Beiran, who was inside it, not only felt the huge thunder spirit energy, but also felt the oppressive feeling of the impending rain and the wind filling the building.
After pouring part of his mental power into his eyes, Jiang Beiran's vision became clear again, and he saw that Qu Yangze's eyes had turned into compound eyes, and two tentacles had grown on his head and were trembling at high speed. It was obvious that he was
Find the location of Wu Qingce.
Wu Qingce was also shocked that his thunder spirit energy had become so powerful, but he was certain of one thing.
That is, these thunder auras are constantly strengthening his body.
'Let senior brother give it a new name later.'
After finishing this thought, Wu Qingce rushed towards Qu Yangze with Wanjun in hand.
'Very soon.'
As the referee, Jiang Beiran praised in his heart. Although he knew that Wu Qingce had worked hard on the body technique, the speed would only shock the disciples with lower cultivation levels at most.
But in Jiang Beiran's eyes, his speed was still too slow.
However, this time, the speed at which Wu Qingce burst out in the purple thunder cloud was really a bit fast, which could at least make Jiang Beiran approve.
'In terms of speed, this guy is a beginner.'
Wu Qingce's attack was indeed very fast this time, so fast that Qu Yangze clearly sensed him but had no time to react.
"Dang!"
Wu Qingce stabbed Qu Yangze's shoulder with his sword. However, although Wan Jun barely broke through the defense of body hair, it was easily blocked by Qu Yangze's skin and could not penetrate at all.
‘It’s really a terrifying physical strength.’
Wan Jun has been practicing with him for many years, and it was built by his senior brother himself. Now it is a yellow-level high-grade magic weapon that has awakened the weapon spirit, but it still cannot hurt Qu Yangze at all.
But before Wu Qingce could withdraw his sword, Qu Yangze's counterattack had already arrived.
The moment he was stabbed by Wanjun, the body hair on his shoulders grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and tightly bound Wanjun's sword.
At the same time, Qu Yangze turned around and punched Wu Qingce.
Wu Qingce, who felt the terrifying punch, instantly let go of Wan Jun's hand and retreated a hundred meters away faster than before.
Just as Qu Yangze was about to accept the Wanjun as a trophy, he saw it shatter into seven pieces and fly into the air, and quickly hid among the thunderclouds.
Qu Yangze did not chase him, but opened another single eye on the back of his neck, watching the surroundings at 360 degrees without blind spots.
"Dang!"
At this time, Qu Yangze felt something hit his right arm, but when he looked down, he found nothing.
Immediately afterwards, sounds of "dang, dong, dong" continued to come from various parts of his body.
At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that it was Senior Brother Wu who was throwing a hidden weapon at him, but the hidden weapon was colorless and invisible, even with three eyes he couldn't see it.
If his body's defense strength were not high enough, he would have been shot into a hornet's nest long ago.
'Senior Brother Wu is really amazing.'
Sighing in his heart, Qu Yangze gave up observing with his eyes and instead grew two tentacles to sense his surroundings.
"Whoosh..."
At this moment, Qu Yangze felt the vibration in the air and his tentacles trembled.
