Chapter 261: Breaking the impasse, Eye of Heavenly Tribulation
An unknown amount of time had passed before Li Daoxuan saw a flash before his eyes, and he appeared in the Underworld again, still in the formation.
He was the only one who came out, while the others were still taken away by the Empress.
The lady in green stood quietly beside him, the divine light flowing around her seemed to have dimmed a lot, and it was obvious that her magic power had been consumed greatly.
This made his heart sink. It seemed that the Queen had not managed to break out of the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation.
As expected, he just laughed loudly and said, "Qing Yi, you never thought that one day you would fall into my hands, haha, don't worry, I won't kill you. After I have wiped out all your skills, I will use secret methods to control your soul and make you submit to me!"
"By then, not only will I be able to overcome the tribulation and become a ghost immortal, but I will also be able to control the Qingming Realm. It will really be a piece of cake, haha!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan's eyes showed murderous intent.
Lady Qingyi holds a very important position in his heart. They are both teachers and friends, and they also have a vague affection for each other.
Compared to the angry Li Daoxuan, Lady Qingyi herself was very calm.
She sent a voice transmission to Li Daoxuan, saying: "I have just explored the true and false of this formation. This formation is only a remnant formation, and it needs someone outside the formation to control it. If someone can interfere with Xu Du for a while outside the formation, it should not be difficult to break this formation."
After a pause, she continued, "I have a wonderful method that can send you out of this formation. After you leave the formation, you can immediately activate the small teleportation talisman and return from Mount Dushuo to the mortal world. Then go to the Qingming Realm and find the ancient bronze mirror in my bedroom. Through it, you can contact your senior sister Taizhen."
Her meaning was very clear. She wanted Li Daoxuan to escape from here first, and then contact Taizhen to interfere with the Xudu Ghost King.
After all, with Li Daoxuan's cultivation level, he would not be able to get rid of his empty stomach even if he went out.
This plan sounded very reasonable, but Li Daoxuan shook his head.
He looked at the pair of calm snow-like eyes of the Qingyi Lady and said with a smile: "Lady, you want to trick me out so that I can survive."
Lady in green frowned slightly.
"I wonder how much time it will take to go back and forth. How can you survive the Nine Bends of the Yellow River during this time?"
"I have my own way."
Li Daoxuan walked forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, his eyes firm as he said, "There is always a way out. I believe there must be a way!"
After a pause, he said, "Master is very important to me, but so are you. No matter what, I will not abandon my friends and run away alone."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged and began to think hard.
Both the Empress and Li Chunfeng had predicted this journey to the underworld. They both believed that although the journey was dangerous, it might not fail.
Even the old Taoist priest sent a message to them, asking them to go to the underworld!
If the journey to the underworld is really a dead end, how could the hexagram show that good times will come after bad times?
There must be a way to survive, but he missed some key information. If he could grasp it, it would definitely change the situation!
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan began to recall his trip to the underworld bit by bit.
The empress once said that the statues of Shentu and Yulei were one of the keys to the success of this trip...
Li Chunfeng said eight words: If you want to take it, you must give it.
As countless details reappeared in Li Daoxuan's mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, illuminating his world.
A detail that he had overlooked came to mind.
Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the empress, and said excitedly: "Empress, is the Supreme Golden Liquid that was refined by the Void Belly True Body still there?"
Lady Qingyi nodded and said, "I'll keep it."
"What does that thing do?"
When asking this question, Li Daoxuan was particularly nervous, because if his guess was correct, then the failed Tai Shang Jin Ye might be the key to solving this dilemma!
The lady in green thought for a moment and replied, "Although the refining failed, this item still has the effect of increasing the spirit and cultivation. It's just that it is tainted with extremely filthy air, which will cause people to go astray. If you want to use this to deal with Xu Du, I'm afraid it won't make much sense, because Xu Du has merged "
Lady in green suddenly paused, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something.
The two looked at each other, and everything was understood without words.
"I see. You want to use this to treat a weak stomach. It does work, but..."
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I have a foolproof plan. Only now do I finally understand the meaning of Li Chunfeng's hexagram."
…
The formation was refining the Green-Clothed Lady's magical power bit by bit.
The divine light around her became increasingly dim, until in the end only a faint ray remained, like the moon covered by clouds.
Just then, she suddenly moved.
Xu Du mocked, "It's useless. I will personally preside over the battle formation. Even if it's you, don't even think about escaping!"
The lady in green ignored him and pointed with her jade finger. Her natal scroll burst into light and took Li Daoxuan into it. Then she sprayed out flames and actually ignited the scroll.
After a moment, the scroll turned into ashes and disappeared.
Xudu suddenly became extremely alert, paying close attention to his surroundings.
Sure enough, there was a slight tremor in the void, and the same painting appeared again. With a light spit, Li Daoxuan was spit out and had already left the range of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
However, the light of the precious painting dimmed, and even a crack appeared. It was obvious that doing so would cause great damage to it.
When Xudu saw this, he burst into laughter and said, "Qingyi, did you know that I was hungry and specially sent me a midnight snack?"
After saying this, he opened his bloody mouth in front of Lady Green.
In an instant, there were gusts of cold wind and a ghostly aura, like a terrible black hole, swallowing up everything around it.
Li Daoxuan, who had just escaped from the formation, had almost no power to resist the opponent's devouring ability. His body became smaller and smaller, and was finally sucked into Xudu's mouth.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xudu's eyes.
This little Taoist priest actually dared to rely on his supernatural powers to deceive me. How despicable!
Thinking that Lady Green seemed to think very highly of him, Xudu felt even happier.
In front of Lady Qingyi, he swallowed up someone she valued very much. The slap was so loud that it really wiped out all his previous humiliation and resentment.
This terrible woman probably never dreamed that one day she would fall into his empty-bellied hands!
Seeing Li Daoxuan being swallowed by the empty stomach, Lady Green's eyes turned slightly cold, as if she was really angry, but looking at the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation that was like a cage, she was ultimately helpless.
Xudu laughed happily, thinking that he had defeated Lady Green.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a very powerful force coming from his body. That force was very familiar, as if it had the same origin as him.
Lines of black liquid exploded in his body and poured into his soul, causing his cultivation to rise rapidly and break through a certain critical line.
This was a good thing, but Xudu's face changed drastically.
Boom!
The sky was furious, thunderclouds were brewing in the sky, and the shape of an eye was faintly visible.
It was as if the gods high above had finally found a prisoner who had been on the run for a long time.
Xu Du finally came to his senses, and he angrily asked, "What is hidden in that little Taoist priest's body?"
Lady in green did not answer but looked at the scroll.
The scroll spit out another gourd, which was the Three Realms Gourd. The gourd kept shaking, and finally gushed out a ray of light. It was Li Daoxuan again!
Rebirth through blood!
In a short period of time, Li Daoxuan used the magical power of rebirth by dripping blood twice . He felt weak, his face was pale, and his steps were unsteady. His foundation had been damaged, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing a hint of excitement.
Success!
His plan was very simple. Li Daoxuan put the failed Tai Shang Jin Ye into his body, and then lured Xu Du to eat him. He used his own body as bait to make Xu Du eat the black liquid as well.
The Queen said that although this black liquid is extremely dirty and filthy, it also has the effect of strengthening the soul and magical power.
Xu Du's body turned into the Styx, and he was not afraid of going astray, but the problem was that he had already reached the threshold of ghost immortal, and now his cultivation had skyrocketed, which would inevitably lead to the arrival of a heavenly calamity!
If you want to become an immortal, you must overcome tribulation!
This is the fate of cultivators and the destiny of heaven and earth. No matter if you are a compassionate Buddha or an evil demon, you cannot escape it.
For someone like Xu Du who is riddled with sins, the heavenly tribulation he will suffer must be even more terrifying.
If you want to take it, you must give it first!
This is the meaning of Li Chunfeng's hexagram. If you want to defeat Xu Du, you must first help him increase his cultivation and let him face the heavenly calamity directly!
Borrowing the power of heaven's calamity to defeat the devil, this is the key to breaking the deadlock this time!
Li Daoxuan had not expected that the failed refining of the Supreme Golden Liquid that was ignored by everyone would actually become such a crucial thing. It was when he reviewed the overall situation under great pressure that he suddenly came up with the idea.
Boom!
The thunderclouds were still gathering and had already covered the entire sky above the Yellow Springs Realm. Every ray of lightning exuded a terrifying aura of destruction. There were green lights, golden lights, and even white and purple lights.
When thunderclouds accumulate enough power, they will pour down like a flood.
Xudu, however, did not get angry but laughed instead, saying: "Qingyi, Li Daoxuan, do you think that the heavenly tribulation can stop me? I have merged with the Styx, so what if it is a heavenly tribulation? When I pass through the heavenly tribulation and become a ghost immortal, I will thank you very much!"
He had originally planned to swallow Li Daoxuan and others before overcoming the heavenly tribulation, but now he had to do it earlier. However, it didn't matter, the order was just changed.
A sneer flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes. He took out the small teleportation talisman in his arms and activated his magic power.
The small teleportation talisman turned into ashes, and a teleportation formation appeared under Li Daoxuan's feet. With a flash of golden light, he disappeared and returned to the mother talisman on Mount Dushuo.
Xudu didn't care about this. In his opinion, Li Daoxuan wanted to delay time through the heavenly tribulation and then take the opportunity to escape back to the human world.
He even secretly laughed at Li Daoxuan, asking if he really thought running away could solve the problem?
Wait until he breaks through to the Ghost Immortal realm, and then find a way to capture him. As for now, the most important thing is to quickly survive the heavenly tribulation.
