Chapter 819: Golden Roc Overcoming the Tribulation
The war involved four major sects and lasted for forty years. Even without the participation of top forces, it eventually caused a great stir in the Great Barbarian South China Sea.
All the Taoist forces in the Great Barbarian South China Sea noticed this war.
Even in other seas outside the Great Barbarian South China Sea, Taoist immortal forces have noticed this war.
Si Bojun, the master of the Seven Stars Palace, as the General Zhenhai, could no longer turn a blind eye, and specifically warned Lingyun Palace, Siyou Gate and Nanbo Sect not to mobilize the Taoist forces.
The other Taoist immortal forces were also more or less dissatisfied with the fact that the three major sects including Lingyun Palace were joining forces to encroach on Jiuxuan Sect, and they talked about it in private. Some Taoist immortals who had been on good terms with Jiuxuan Sect in the past, or those who had a strong sense of justice, did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction with Lingyun Palace and other three major sects in public.
The voices of various Taoist forces were more or less heard by the three major sects including Lingyun Palace, which made You Shijin and others very angry, but they could do nothing about it.
They also didn't expect that the Jiuxuan Sect would be so resilient.
They originally thought that they would be able to quickly swallow up all of the outer territories of the Jiuxuan Sect, form an encirclement of Jiuxuan Mountain, and completely trap the Jiuxuan Sect.
As a result, the three major forces joined forces, not only suffered heavy casualties, but were also dragged into a stalemate where they were stuck in a dilemma.
In addition to these, this battle made Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and Ye Chen famous and their reputation soared.
…
On this day, it had been fifty years since the Jiuxuan Sect announced its closure.
"Master, my disciple's heavenly tribulation is approaching!" Jin Peng said to Qin Ziling in Xuansha Palace.
(Originally, it was planned that Jin Peng worshipped Qin Ziling as his elder brother. Later, after thinking about it, Jin Peng was enlightened by Qin Ziling, which was equivalent to his child. Jin Peng also had a deep affection for him, so it felt more appropriate to accept him as a disciple. Therefore, it was modified.)
"So fast!" Qin Ziling's heart was shocked and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This is all thanks to Master, otherwise I would still be a confused and ferocious bird!" Jin Peng said, with deep admiration for Qin Ziling hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"The Taoist immortal's heavenly tribulation makes too much noise. Once you undergo the tribulation in Jiuxuan Mountain, it will inevitably alarm the Taoist immortals from all sides. After I give you some instructions, we will set off to find a star to undergo the tribulation." Qin Ziling said.
When the Huangji Great World was born, not only was the foundation of the Huangji Great World, the vast and boundless earthly immortal world, born, but also the sun, moon, and stars were born.
The sun, moon and stars are suspended in the void of the sky.
Some of these stars are frozen all year round and extremely cold, some are as hot as furnaces with magma gushing out, some are huge fireballs themselves, spewing out the sun's true fire, and some are full of poisonous gas, and people will die if they breathe it in...
The stars are vast, and so far, no one has ever heard of anyone finding a place suitable for human survival and practice.
Of course, apart from the powerful True Immortals, Taoist Immortals and Taoist Masters, no one else can reach the distant sea of stars.
So there are still many stars that no one has explored.
When undergoing the tribulation in a place like that , as long as the news does not leak out, the probability of being discovered is still very small.
Of course, there are also those who are unlucky and happen to be discovered by Taoist immortals who go to the sea of stars to look for opportunities.
If a Taoist immortal has evil intentions and takes advantage of the person who has just survived the heavenly tribulation and is weak, he will take advantage of the situation and rob him, and the person who has just survived the tribulation will be in great danger.
Or it may bring about other unknown dangers.
Therefore, generally speaking, a safe place to transcend tribulation must be where one’s own mountain gate is located, which is guarded by a mountain gate formation and many fellow disciples.
However, there are also some people who are undergoing the tribulation who have no foundation. They are afraid that when they undergo the tribulation, they will attract greed or enemies to come to them, so they will go far away to the sea of stars to undergo the tribulation.
Qin Ziling does not want to attract the attention of powerful forces such as Lingyun Palace at the moment. He also wants Jiuxuan Sect to stand in the light and Wuji Sect to hide in the dark, so he decides to take Jin Peng to the sea of stars to transcend the tribulation, and he will go to help protect the law.
Fifty years is a relatively long time for Qin Ziling.
During these fifty years, he has successively survived the eighth wind and fire calamity of a True Immortal and the eighth wind and fire calamity of a Human Immortal, as well as the calamity of a Divine Immortal, becoming a ninth-grade True Immortal, a ninth-grade Cave Heaven Realm Human Immortal, and a ninth-grade Divine Immortal.
Qin Ziling was not sure about his current combat power, but he knew very well that if he faced You Tong and Zhou Shixin again, he should be able to kill them easily.
It's unlikely they'll have a chance of escaping!
However, given his level of accomplishment, killing a Taoist immortal was too shocking and would easily arouse the fear of powerful figures, who would not give him the opportunity to grow normally. Therefore, it was not appropriate for him to reveal it openly for the time being.
With his strength, it is naturally enough to protect Jinpeng!
Qin Ziling quickly informed his two teachers, the eldest senior brother and the four wives, and told them to hold their temper as much as possible and not to go out while he was away, and to wait until he came back to deal with everything. Then Qin Ziling took Jin Peng and quietly left Jiuxuan Mountain, passed through the strong wind layer, and headed straight for the distant and vast starry sky.
More than ten days later, on a desolate planet frozen in ice and snow, with cold winds howling like knives, a golden-winged Roc stood proudly on an eternal and unmelted thousand-foot iceberg.
Above the thousand-foot-high iceberg, dark clouds gathered and lightning flashed.
Soon, a thick and dazzling thunder struck down.
The golden-winged Peng bird stood still, allowing the lightning to strike it.
Lightning flashed and moved on its golden feathers, making the golden-winged Roc, which was made entirely of gold, look even more powerful.
The golden-winged Peng bird allowed the thunder to temper its body until the thirty-sixth thunder, when it began to move.
I saw it spread its wings, and ancient runes inherited from the ancestor of the golden-winged Roc appeared on its wings. The runes were blazing, and the golden light was like a river of swords.
"Bang!"
The golden-winged Peng bird spreads its wings and flies high.
Golden wings soar into the sky.
The Thunder was directly defeated.
In the distance, a man in green looked out at the scene of the Taoist Immortal Tribulation and couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"The Golden Winged Peng Bird is indeed born with the killing power of Gengjin, and is one of the most powerful divine birds in ancient times. Unfortunately, the Golden Winged Peng Bird has a very poor reproductive ability, and it does not intermarry with other races like the dragon race, so its number is extremely small and it is almost extinct.
Otherwise, with the talent of the Golden Winged Peng Bird, it would probably be the most powerful tribe in the world! "The Fire Dragon couldn't help but stick his head out, looking into the distance as if he remembered something, and sighed.
"If the golden-winged Roc were like the dragon clan, I'm afraid most of its descendants would be lost in the crowd." Qin Ziling said.
"That's true. But there are very few golden-winged Rocs as powerful as Jin Peng. He was born with powerful bloodline, and was infected by strange forces in the Dark Emperor Heaven for a long time. Once his spiritual wisdom was awakened, it was like he had gone through thousands of trials and tribulations and was reborn from the ashes. That's why he is so powerful." said the Fire Dragon.
"You said Jin Peng is so powerful. Is it possible for him to collect the thunder tribulation liquid after he has passed the tribulation?" Qin Ziling asked.
“How is that possible!” Fire Dragon shook his head without hesitation and said, “Those who can collect the Taoist Immortal Thunder Tribulation Liquid are not much different from the great figures who attracted heavenly tribulation almost as soon as they were born, such as Emperor Zhuchi, the ancestor of the Golden Winged Dapeng Bird, the ancestor of the Five-Colored Peacock, etc., who became Taoist Immortals in one step and attracted heavenly tribulation almost as soon as they were born.
Although Jin Peng is very powerful, he still cannot be compared with those amazing figures. It can only be said that he has great potential. When he becomes a Taoist immortal and goes through a long period of training and practice, there is some hope that he can reach the level of those amazing figures, or even the level of his ancestors, but it is absolutely impossible now.
Yin Ranyue, on the other hand, had a good chance. She was gifted with the power of thunder spirits and had great luck. Before she passed the tribulation, she not only obtained the Taoist tradition of thunder and a trace of original power, but she and her Daobao also obtained a drop of purple palace thunder tribulation liquid.
There is a difference between close and distant relatives. A person like her is like Lei Dao’s biological daughter. This thunder tribulation must treat her differently. So other people need to be extremely talented to have a chance to win the Daoxian Thunder Tribulation Liquid. As long as she is a little bit more talented, she should have a chance. "
"Oh!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but be surprised.
Not only is the quality of the Taoist Immortal's Thunder Tribulation Liquid in no way inferior to that of the Purple Palace's Thunder Tribulation Liquid, but the amount of Thunder Tribulation Liquid produced by the Taoist Immortal's tribulation is also huge.
"Yin Ranyue just has a great hope. When you pass the immortal tribulation, you will definitely be able to obtain the thunder tribulation liquid." said the fire dragon.
"Senior, you think so highly of me?" Qin Ziling said.
"Nonsense, at such a young age you have opened up the channels between heaven, earth and man, and have fully cultivated the three paths of the five elements, yin and yang, life and death. You also have earth-level Taoist treasures and half-Taoist medicine to protect yourself. If you can't collect the Taoist Immortal Thunder Tribulation Liquid, who else can?" The fire dragon said unhappily.
"Hehe, senior, you're praising me so much that I feel embarrassed!" Qin Ziling said.
The fire dragon curled his lips with a look of contempt.
Would you be embarrassed? I don't believe you!
One day later.
Jin Peng survived the Taoist calamity quite smoothly.
"Thank you, Master, for your help!"
As soon as Jin Peng passed the Taoist calamity, he turned into a ray of golden light that streaked across the sky, then landed in front of Qin Ziling and knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Okay! Okay!" Qin Ziling looked at Jin Peng and quickly helped him up, feeling very excited.
Finally, his Wuji Sect also had a Taoist disciple.
"You have fought with the old demon Youtong and Zhou Shixin. If you were asked to fight them again now, how do you think the battle will go?" Qin Ziling asked quickly.
"Master, as long as you give me some time to consolidate my realm, I should be able to defeat them easily. As for killing them, I have a 70% to 80% chance of success." Jin Peng thought for a moment and replied.
Although Qin Ziling already knew in his heart that once Dapeng survived the heavenly tribulation, he would definitely become an extremely powerful middle-grade Taoist immortal, he still couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Good, very good!"
After that, Qin Ziling patted Jin Peng on the shoulder and said, "You should gather your Taoist power, then enter the Qiankun Cave Heaven World to consolidate your realm, comprehend the experience of this tribulation, and go to Chidi Mountain to pick the three-section Yuanhui Immortal Grass to take."
The Taoist immortal possesses the power of the Great Dao. If it is not restrained, it will be difficult for Qin Ziling to obtain the Qiankun Cave Heaven now.
"Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing this, Jin Peng immediately knelt on one knee.
Qin Ziling smiled, put Jin Peng into the Qiankun Cave Heaven World, then tore through the space and crossed the void.
A few days later.
Thousands of miles away from Jiuxuan Mountain, in an uninhabited void, Qin Ziling stepped out from a crack.
As soon as he stepped out of the space crack, Qin Ziling's expression changed slightly.
Then a golden light lit up, and faintly there seemed to be a golden wing cutting through the space, and then Qin Ziling had arrived at the gate of Jiuxuan Mountain.
The back mountain of Jiuxuan Mountain was covered with calamity clouds, lightning and thunder, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
"Didn't I already give Ye Chen a plant of the Immortal Grass and half a Changchun Fruit?" Qin Ziling asked seriously as soon as he returned to Jiuxuan Mountain.
"Teacher, Senior Brother Ye's cultivation has been stagnant for more than 20 years. A few days ago, he was blessed with the ability to sense the heavenly tribulation. He believes that this is his peak state now. Unless he survives the heavenly tribulation, there will be no further breakthroughs.
So instead of waiting and wasting the Heaven-Defying Immortal Grass, Changchun Fruit, and other resources, it is better to take advantage of the current momentum and make a breakthrough. Otherwise, if we wait any longer, our energy will be lost and there will be no hope at all! "Yue Huai bowed and replied, his eyes full of helplessness and worry.
Qin Ziling sighed when he heard this, then looked up at the place where the tribulation was to be passed, remaining silent.
Everyone has his limits.
After reaching the limit, no matter how hard he tries, it will be in vain. Unless an extremely incredible opportunity appears, it will be possible to break through the limit and usher in another stage of growth.
Otherwise, after reaching the limit, if you cannot break through, it will decline over time, and a large amount of resources will be needed to maintain the peak limit state.
The same is true for Taoist immortals. The longer they practice, the more powerful they become.
Some Taoist immortals have the talent and potential, but after tens of thousands of years as Taoist immortals, their cultivation has stagnated.
Some Taoist immortals have strong talents and potential, and can make rapid progress after entering the Taoist immortal realm.
Huolong said that Jinpeng has the potential to reach the level of his ancestor, which shows that he is optimistic about his talent and potential.
Of course, the time of practice is definitely an important indicator of the strength of a Taoist immortal.
Now, Ye Chen has reached his limit. Without destruction, there is no construction. Even Qin Ziling can do nothing about it, unless he is willing to take out all his savings to help Ye Chen.
That is obviously unrealistic!
Under the calamity cloud, Ye Chen quickly sensed Qin Ziling's gaze looking at him from afar.
He suddenly bent his knees, knelt down and bowed three times to Qin Ziling, then slowly stood up, turned around, looked up at the sky, his long hair flying, and his back straight as a gun.
Qin Ziling looked at Ye Chen's back, and for some reason a sense of tragedy arose in his heart, and a line of ancient poetry emerged in his mind.
The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold; the hero is gone and will never return!
“Boom!”
There was a loud bang.
A dazzling bolt of lightning struck down.
A horizontal sword slashed towards the thunder.
…
The commotion caused by Ye Chen's tribulation was so huge that it soon alarmed many people.
Even Hao Yuansong and the leader of the Siyou Sect, Jiang Qiaonian, were alarmed. They stood thousands of miles away from the Jiuxuan Mountain, gazing at the place where the tribulation was to take place, with solemn expressions.
If Ye Chen survives the heavenly tribulation, both Nanbo Sect and Siyou Sect will be in big trouble.
But they didn't dare to take action.
The old demon Youtong died because of the attack on Jiuxuan Mountain, and they dared not take the risk.
Ye Chen’s tribulation was much more tragic than Jin Peng’s.
When Jin Peng was going through the heavenly tribulation, he endured the thunder tribulation directly in the beginning and defeated it cleanly and neatly in the end.
But Ye Chen was only successful in the beginning. Later on, he had to carefully block every bolt of lightning.
Jin Peng survived the catastrophe in just one day.
Ye Chen fought with the heavenly tribulation for three days and three nights. When there were only two heavenly tribulations left, he was blasted to ashes by a bolt of thunder.
The world was quiet.
Jiuxuan Mountain fell into great grief, while outside Jiuxuan Mountain, Hao Yuansong and Jiang Qiaonian breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ziling looked into the distance with a heavy heart.
Jin Peng overcame the tribulation so easily that he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for the Taoist tribulation.
But now Ye Chen’s failure in overcoming the tribulation was a heavy blow to him.
Among the veterans who have accompanied him all the way, how many of them will be like Ye Chen?
"You don't have to worry too much. Jian Bailou and the others have had so many good opportunities in the past. They have reached this level at such a young age. They have great momentum and potential.
Unlike Ye Chen, who has been training below the Dao Immortal Realm for nearly ten thousand years, his potential and drive have been almost exhausted. Being able to sense the heavenly tribulation and reach this point is already his limit. Even if you just gave him a drop of Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid at all costs, it would be in vain. "
The fire dragon sensed Qin Ziling's heavy mood and spoke to comfort him.
Qin Ziling nodded silently. He understood that Ye Chen was like a long-distance runner who had already run most of the distance and could no longer sprint. However, Jian Bailou and others were just starting to run for a short while. They still had strong physical strength and could still sprint.
But practice is far more than as simple as this analogy.
The natural calamity was dangerous, and no one could guarantee that the veterans who had accompanied him could sprint to the end.
Maybe they fell behind halfway and couldn't run anymore!
All I can say is that they look pretty good now.
