longevity road trip

"Do you know how many secret realms our sect has?" Qing He asked back.

"Five, but in these years, I have only been to Xuanyuan and Tongxuan." Zhang Shiping said, he heard the old ancestor Qinghe's question, and he had some guesses in his heart.Could this place be the entrance to a secret realm unknown to him?

The Xuanyuan Secret Realm is a place where the outer sect, the inner sect, and the true disciples of the sect, as well as the ancestors of Yuanying, the elders of the Jindan inner sect, and foreign guests can go.The Tongxuan Secret Realm was opened up by the Xuanyuan Sect to cultivate elixir and domesticate psychic beasts.Of course, this place is also used as a trial place for the sect's qi refining disciples, and it will be opened every 15 years or so.

"The other three places are Luanfeng, Hunxing, and Youtu. Luanfeng and Youtu are okay, and they can enter and leave through the teleportation circle in Binhai City, but the secret place of Hunxing here is a bit different. The ancient wild land can only be reached in a short period of time through the teleportation array set up by the powerful monks in the ancient times." Qing He said.

It's just that when the two of them reached the end of Changshi Street here, Zhang Shiping suddenly stopped and looked at the shop in front of him at the three-fork intersection, and the red line between his eyebrows turned into a vertical eye that opened slightly. Opened, and suddenly said: "Then it seems that this ancient teleportation circle is here. The illusion here is really wonderful, and it can almost be confused with the real one."

Qinghe smiled, waved his sleeves, and the scenery around the two of them suddenly changed. How can there be any market, shop, casual cultivator or ordinary people at this time?

In front of the two of them was only a shield shining with a light blue aura.

Two white-clothed monks with almost identical faces walked out of it. They acted like one person, and they said in unison, "Greetings to the ancestor, Elder Zhang."

……

……

The next day, Qinghe and Zhang Shiping walked out of the teleportation circle on an island with abundant aura in the wild sea area of ​​Canggu Ocean.

Chapter 696

The island is twenty miles long and nine miles wide.

Although it seems ordinary, it gives people a sense of vitality that is completely different from other islands.

Zhang Shiping's spiritual sense was already very keen, and as soon as he walked out of the teleportation circle, he felt that there was something abnormal in this place.He inspected it carefully, and said with a sigh: "This island is actually located on the back of a giant tortoise, which is really rare in the world."

Qinghe soared into the sky and led Zhang Shiping to the sky above Ao Island.In the sea area under the two of them, large and small islands are scattered everywhere, but there are no people in them, only groups of birds with extremely bright feathers flying in the forest sea.

Down below, a little closer to the two of them, there were more than a dozen golden-haired apes jumping between the dense tree crowns.

"This is the end of the ancient times. When the Zongmen Mahayana Youtu left, the ancient spirit beasts left behind in this world are on the mountain. Now the spiritual energy in the small world is extremely weak, and the three realms of Nanzhou where we are located are especially weak. What's more, this negative mountain can only sleep in a wild place on the Canggu Ocean, and it will sleep for 800 years, and it will not wake up easily." Qing He pointed to the island below him and said.

"Based on this, Senior Ao has lived for tens of thousands of years." Zhang Shiping was a little stunned.

"The tortoise is the seed of longevity." Qing He said.

But he didn't seem to want to continue talking, and instead stretched out his hand and pointed towards the vast sea to the east.

"The sea 80 miles to the east of this place is called Wanzhang Haiyuan, which is the land of the Suan Ni tribe. The old Suan Ni has a bad temper and is very defensive. Those little Suan Ni followed his temper and are active in nature. If you encounter it in the future, you must not kill him, and a lesson is enough, otherwise, if your hands and feet are not clean, things will still be quite troublesome."

For ordinary people, 80 miles is a journey that cannot be completed in a lifetime.But with Zhang Shiping's current flying speed, he can travel thousands of miles a day, which is not too far.

"Is it the Suanni family, the ancestors can rest assured about this kind of thing." Zhang Shiping replied.

"I don't worry about what you do, come with me, Qiu Cong should have already set up the big formation." Qing He nodded and flew westward. As for more than a thousand miles away, he arrived at a stone peak that seemed to rise from the bottom of the sea He stopped only when the resulting island was above the sky.

From this Shifeng Island, an old man in common clothes flew towards him.

"Thank you for your help, Patriarch." Zhang Shiping bowed his hands in thanks.

In this several-kilometer wide stone peak, there is still a bit of aura emanating from the array equipment that has not been completely suppressed, but at this moment, the aura from all directions is slowly gathering, and there seems to be a blazing heat coming out of the peak. .

According to what Patriarch Qinghe said before, it is obvious that a magic circle has been set up here.

Qiu raised his hand lightly, then turned his hand and took out a square black seal the size of a palm, and a small square brocade box, handed it to Zhang Shiping, and then said slowly:

"There is no need to be too polite. In the past, you designed to capture the spirit corpse transformed by Qin Xiangshan. Now that many years have passed, Qin Feng will ask for it in the future. Part of the credit is due to you. This magic circle and this elixir are yours." You deserve it. However, the flame formation formed by the old man can only help you resist a small part of the power of the thunder after being sacrificed. This is the stone seal of the formation, which contains the method of controlling the formation that I wrote down. You will refine it later."

"The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation that the Golden Elixir passed through was actually mediocre in power, but it was between the Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul. If it was a catastrophe, it would be more like a bridge, a bridge that allows monks to communicate with each other inside and outside, and then A bridge that manipulates the aura of heaven and earth. This catastrophe was brought down by people who practiced in the small world. If you use too much external force, the power of this thunder disaster will also increase exponentially, whether you can survive it or not depends on yourself, external things are not enough to rely on, you must remember this point!" Qing He once again instructed.

There is only a lower limit to the thunder tribulation between heaven and earth, but no upper limit.If a monk wants to rely on external force to take advantage of it, then the power of Tianlei will regard the thing he borrowed as a robber.

This is also the reason why Xuanyuanzong explicitly forbids monks from going through the catastrophe in Binhai City.

If Xuan Yuanzong held a ceremony to defend the city of Binhai City, some monks happened to attract thunder disaster.If the Nascent Soul cultivator in the city didn't kill those who crossed the catastrophe or remove the magic circle in time, then when the thunder tribulation fell, it would be a catastrophe.This kind of thing is usually okay, the Binhai City magic circle has not been fully sacrificed, but there is a contingency in everything, and Xuanyuanzong dare not gamble on it.

"Two patriarchs, then Shiping will go to prepare first." Zhang Shiping said, he took the square black seal, and also listened to Qiu Congzhenjun's words.

"Go, don't be in a hurry. These years, Qiu Cong or I will stay here. You can go through the tribulation with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about other things." Qinghe said.

After Zhang Shiping put away the stone seal, he bowed his hands to Qinghe and Qiu Cong to salute, and then flew towards Shifeng Island.

……

After Zhang Shiping left.

"You can go too, as long as I'm here." Qing He said to Qiu Cong.

"Then I'll go first. Taking advantage of the Ten Thousand Monsters Meeting held by Suanni this time, I will also go to replace some urgently needed treasures. I don't know where Qin Feng got the Dingling Pill, but he is willing to let that The avatar is carried with him in the storage magic weapon. This person's temperament is really unpredictable, what do you think he has in mind?" Qiu Cong laughed through the sound transmission.

"Who knows, go quickly, so as not to miss the Wan Yaohui." Qing He waved his hand and said.

"If Senior Brother can take me for a ride, I'll be there in no time, how can I miss it?" Qiu Congying said.

"I still have some things to do later." Qing He glanced to the side and motioned for Qiu Cong.

The two of them have been together for 2000 years, and they only need a little hint to understand each other's meaning.

As soon as Qiu Cong saw Qinghe like this, he flew towards the east where the Suanni clan was located, without hesitation.

After Qinghe flew away from Qiu Cong, he sacrificed the hollow jade bone incarnation, and found a small island dozens of miles away from Shifeng Island, and waited quietly.As for his real body, he turned around and stepped into a crack in space before disappearing.

……

……

On the other side, after Zhang Shiping came to Shifeng Island, he did not rush to condense the Nascent Soul immediately.

Instead, he opened the brocade box first, took a few glances at the elixir that looked like a topaz seed inside, and then solemnly put it away, together with the Wannian Spiritual Milk gifted by Patriarch Wang, and the true essence from the ram. The Liujia Liuding talisman exchanged by Jun is placed in the same storage bag.

Then he sat down cross-legged and began to sacrifice the black stone seal. At the same time, he carefully looked at the formation manipulation method left by the ancestor Qiu Cong, and slowly figured it out.

Chapter 697

Three days later, Zhang Shiping completely refined the black seal, and then went around Shifeng Island in a circle, going all over the 210 six formation nodes of the flame light formation set up by Qiu Cong, and connected them according to the law. Got up, completed the last step of the formation, and then climbed to the peak on foot, facing the sea, sitting cross-legged, watching the waves surging wave after wave without stopping.

Zhang Shiping was silent, he saw the wind in his eyes, blowing the trees on the island, the feathers of seabirds, the clouds in the sky, the dust of wild horses, and the breath of creatures blowing each other, a scene full of vitality.

Since ancient times, this vast and endless ancient ocean has seen many monks, and the deep seabed is also the burial ground of many monks.Compared with the small world, the lifespan of a monk for thousands of years is really too short.

It was so short that the practice was not completed, the parents died first, and the friends left halfway, and there was only one person left in the vast world.

Scenes from the past resurfaced in Zhang Shiping's mind, and he seemed to see his parents who were high above him when he was young, the excitement when the eldest sister got married, and the laughter of the second brother who put him on his neck.

When Zhang Shiping grew up a little bit, when Zhang Shiping was still ignorant at the time, the great elder, the patriarch, and his father taught Yin Yin, with hope in their eyes, hoping that the younger generation in the family would be successful in cultivation, and another one would be born. The monk who established the foundation passed on the family.

In this way, one year or two years, from eight years old to 16 years old in a flash, for eight full years, a child in the middle corner has grown into a good boy.

Zhang Shiping sighed lightly.

At that time, when he was practicing, although he never had the slightest slack, his cultivation was neither fast nor slow. In eight years, he started from refining Qi, and he could only reach the fourth floor.

The great elders in the clan were quite satisfied with this, but he himself was a little disappointed, and he was still a little confused.

It's just that he kept all these things in his heart and never mentioned them to others.

Later, he obeyed his father's arrangement and joined Zhengyang sect. Fortunately, he got the bronze lamp. After joining the sect, he was helped by Chen Wenguang, Lin Zhiqi, and Xu Youdan. Since then, his practice has become more and more refined. The foundation was successfully built in one fell swoop.

As for things going on in the future...

All kinds of things from the past came to mind one by one, complicated thoughts, but Zhang Shiping didn't suppress them forcibly, the thoughts came up spontaneously, mixed with sadness and joy, joy and anger.

The sun and the moon have risen and set several times before he stood up, walked to the center of the formation without any waves in his heart, sat down cross-legged, took out the storage bag, and put the elixir in the brocade box After taking it, he sat down intently.

And on the small island dozens of miles away, a black jade-colored skeleton was walking in the forest, and a few gray-feathered birds were resting on its shoulders, chirping non-stop.

All of a sudden, there seemed to be a whistling wind between the sky and the earth. It stopped, and looked at the sky with its eyes filled with scarlet fireworks, and saw clouds continuously gathering towards Shifeng Island.

The cloud that was originally cottony white is slowly becoming thicker and grayer, and is gradually changing towards the ink color.

"Have you started? I hope it will succeed. Don't be like Feng'er." A sigh came from the mouth of the skeleton.

……

……

And thousands of miles away, above a vast sea, a crack in space suddenly appeared.

Qinghe came out of it, and not far away from him, a brown-red haired beast that looked like a lion was sitting on top of the billowing auspicious clouds, holding a huge pipe in its mouth, and was breathing out smoke, surrounded by clouds and mist Yu Zhou looked very uncomfortable.

"Take a bite?" the old Suan Ni said in a low voice.It's just that it still has the pipe in its mouth and never takes it down.

"You old lion is too insincere, you don't smoke." Qing He attracted a cloud, sat cross-legged on it, and looked at the old Suan Ni.

The old Suanni smiled, glanced down and looked into the distance suddenly, and said:

"The wind is blowing, and the thunder is coming soon. Xuanyuanzong is an outstanding person, but in the past hundred years, there has been a younger generation who once again crossed the catastrophe and broke the pill to become a baby. Is it your apprentice again? Unlike our spirit beast clan, although the blood is inherited from ancient times Ancestor, but in today's small world, it is more and more inappropriate to practice."

"That boy is not my apprentice, he is a descendant of Qin Feng, I am not so lucky." Qing He shook his head and said.

"Qin Feng, no wonder you dare not accept disciples?" The old Suanni suddenly thought of something and laughed.

But after laughing, it sighed heavily and said:

"Red Moon should have left. I saw from afar that his physical body has decayed like a rotten tree. The majestic and pure magic power he has condensed for 5000 years, along with him all the way away, constantly feeds back the world and dissipates into a little bit of starlight. So Renjie, he came clean and clear when he left, but in the end, he didn’t even leave a body, which is really a pity. The road to longevity is not easy. Compared with him, we are as humble as ants. "

But after hearing this, Qinghe sneered and said:

"You are you, I am me, don't use me as an example. In the small world, whoever seeks to live forever and become a god, which one is not a hero? Hongyue has his choice, I only have my pursuit. The book of longevity It is the greatest desire in the world, the most painful suffering, like the silk cocoon entangled in the body and the heart, one layer after another is broken, thousands of mountains and thousands of waters, just take it easy! But you, an old lion, follow behind , with bad intentions, with Hongyue's temperament, how could he leave his body with you? You called me here today, you probably didn't want to sit with me to discuss Taoism, you just talk about it."

The old Suanni took a few deep breaths of the cigarette, and poured it out. The smoke, along with the aura, gathered towards Shifeng Island.

It's just that with a wave of Qinghe's sleeve, he snatched the smoke, condensed it into beads, and threw it into the sea.

"You're too careful. That junior has practiced "Phantom Smoke Body", and my phantom smoke is a good thing for him. Ordinary monks can't ask for it." With a light move, the old Suan Ni The smoke beads that fell into the sea flew up leisurely and melted into the auspicious clouds under it.

"After he survives the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, I will use your kindness again. I heard that more than a hundred years ago, there was a descendant of your Suanni clan who was killed by other monks. Now that many years have passed, we can find out who did it. Hand? This is what you have to worry about. Besides, now that the Demon Lord is coming, all the fellow Taoists are ready to move, so you don’t want to join in the fun. Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to pay another five for the next time. It's been a thousand and eight years, can you afford to wait?" Qing He said.

"I can't afford to wait, so I took this opportunity to call you over to discuss it. How about we join forces?" the old Suan Ni said.

……

……

While the two God Transformation Venerables, one person and one demon, were talking, thick clouds gathered over Shifeng Island, with it as the center, covering a radius of more than a hundred miles in darkness, and the Thunder Snake danced silently in the clouds.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a silver-purple thunderbolt that pierced the sky and the earth slammed down towards Shifeng Island.

As for a figure like glazed glass, he stretched out one hand with the palm facing up, abruptly catching the first thunder from the sky.

Chapter 698

Zhang Shiping snorted softly, and forcibly held Tian Lei between his palms, instead of breaking it up directly, instead, following the operation of the "Colorful Glazed Body", he slowly absorbed the aura contained in it into his body.

All of a sudden, his physical body was as crystal clear as glass, exuding a brilliant aura.

It's just that Zhang Shiping had no time to be distracted at this time, and immediately concentrated.

Sure enough, at the next moment, in his sea of ​​consciousness, there was a loud thunderous noise from the kettle, loud and loud like a tide, trying to shake and explode the primordial spirit.

This is similar to the pain of tearing the mind and soul that he endured in practicing "Yuanchangshu" in the past.It's just that compared with other Jindan monks, he has long been accustomed to this.

In the severe pain of tearing his soul and soul, he kept his mind tightly and refined the aura of the first thunder.

The power of this baby robbery is between Jindan and Yuanying, it is divided into two forms of yin and yang, and it has three levels and nine turns.

This sky thunder seems to be powerful, but in fact it is comparable to the power of a late Jindan real person who majored in thunder.

But differently, although the sky thunder has the meaning of destruction, it also has a hint of vitality.

Just like the season of Waking of Insects, the yang energy between the heaven and the earth rises, the spring thunder moves, the wind and rain come slowly, and everything is full of vitality.

According to the predecessors of Xuanyuanzong, the sky thunder is yang, the greatest and most upright, but the yin thunder is invisible, and it is the most difficult to guard against.

However, if the Jindan cultivator who has crossed the catastrophe has a tyrannical body and a complete mind and soul, he can regard it as a rare body-hardening spiritual object in the world, as a follow-up accumulation of strength.

This kind of matter was never mentioned in the jade slips presented to Zhang Shiping by the ancestor Wang of Zhengyang Zong, and most of the other sects created by Yuan Ying did not have such records.Now in Nanzhou, there is only Xuanyuanzong. From ancient times to the present, there have been high-level monks such as Mahayana Transcending Tribulation Fit, and the Hollow God Yuanying has never been cut off. Such a long-standing sect holy land , in order to analyze Tianlei from beginning to end.

Otherwise, the first thought of the ordinary golden core crossing the catastrophe when seeing the sky thunder is probably not to drive the magic weapon, or to activate the formation to resist, how could it be so entrusting the earth to harden it with the body?

And this point, Qinghe didn't tell him until Zhang Shiping decided to cross the robbery on the way.

In ancient times, for a sect, the number of Nascent Souls did not have much influence, but now the cultivation environment in the entire small world has become worse and worse, and even Huashen might disappear one day.That Nascent Soul is the best in the world, so the value of the information that needs to be paid attention to when crossing the catastrophe is self-evident.

More than ten breaths later, when Zhang Shiping only had time to refine half of the heavenly thunder spirit power held in his hand into his body, the sky-filled robbery clouds surged crazily again, and countless silver-purple thunderbolts The snake walked through it, and then suddenly, thousands of thunder lights fell from the calamity cloud, raging towards the peak of Shifeng Island.

Seen from a distance, these many thunderstorms gathered together, like a funnel, surrounding Shifeng Island.

And before, when Zhang Shiping saw the Thunder Snake surging, he was no longer concerned about the fact that the aura of the sky thunder in his hand had not been fully absorbed, and with a sudden grip of his right hand, the sky thunder exploded into thousands of auras of light.
