What would a normal Mahayana casual cultivator do before crossing the catastrophe

After more than three months of sailing, the airship finally passed through the raging storm and came to Nantianzhou.

At this time, the storm caused by the explosion of the Holy Demon Continent has gradually subsided, and at this time, the Nirvana Tribulation of the Great Barren Continent has also entered the second stage.

According to historical records, it will take three to five years for Yuanling to achieve Nirvana, and then it will re-condense.At that time, as long as the Great Barren Island is brought into orbit again, the source monks of the Great Barren Island will be able to free their hands.

Qinan jumped off the flying boat, and everything he saw was the same as what he saw on the jade slip.

The air in Nantianzhou is filled with the smell of decay and death.

"Is the cultivator from Huangtian Sword Gate here?"

Qinan heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a snake-tailed male cultivator in a loose robe approaching, took out a stack of simple bronze mirrors from the magic weapon storage, and quickly distributed them to the monks who got off the flying boat.

Qinan took the bronze mirror and looked it over, and found that the runes inscribed on it were extremely delicate and complicated, making it difficult for people to understand what it was supposed to do.

"This is a magic weapon for communication specially created by my Xuanjing School." The snake-tailed male cultivator explained aloud, "I can learn the messages released by other bronze mirror holders of the same type in any place at the first time, basically without any delay. available for discussion.”

Hearing this, Qinan was a little surprised, and immediately probed into his spiritual consciousness to check.

In an instant, thousands of research information discussions and results on the antidote appeared in front of my eyes.After carefully reading these first-hand materials, he was suddenly brought back to his sanity by an exclamation.He raised his eyes and saw that the body of a monk trapped by the formation was melting little by little.

His pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to use Five Watches to stop the mutation on the monk, but a Danxiu stopped him.

"It's useless, his soul has dissipated."

Qinan turned his head to look at the speaker.

The clothing on this person has the pattern of the Nine Demon Pagoda, and the aura is from the source realm.Her complexion was not very good-looking, she looked away from the melting monk, and immediately looked at Qinan.

"You are a scholar of ink, right." The cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower squeezed a smile, "Senior Mo Ji mentioned you to us and praised you for having the opportunity to become the next Alchemy Origin God. It's great that you can come, we The research on the antidote should be faster."

Qinan was silent for a moment, and said, "I wonder if I can observe those spiders up close?"

"Of course." The cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower took him to an independent open space in the distance, and pointed to the group of huge creatures trapped together by the barrier, "It's right there...some monks claim that they are in the Holy Demon Island. I've seen something similar to this creature, and it was called the 'Saint' by the locals, so we call it that now."

Qinan frowned and looked at the group of monsters with bloated and fat tails, half-closed his eyes and began to sense their breath.

Chaos, madness, frenzy.

"Be careful, don't use your spiritual sense to investigate." The cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower warned, "It has a strong infection and assimilation effect, and it can also cause hallucinations. I don't want to see another high-ranking cultivator unfortunately being recruited."

Qinan heard something wrong from her words, and frowned even tighter: "A high-ranking monk has already been infected?"

"Yes." The cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It is the origin realm Danxiu of our Nine Demon Tower. He wanted to decompose and check the nature of the power of these monsters with his spiritual consciousness, but he didn't expect... We had to use the elixir to let him He's asleep. That's right!"

The cultivator of the Nine Demon Pagoda seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up: "The elixir we used to make him sleep is called 'Wu Geng Tian', it must have come from you!"

Qinan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words: "... Hongyu Chamber of Commerce has already started selling Five Watches?"

"They sent someone to find us in private some time ago, signed a spiritual source contract with us, and entrusted us with the alchemy of the five watchdogs." The monk of the Nine Demon Pagoda shook his head.

Qinan laughed: "Then they are quite good at seizing the opportunity."

The Nine Demon Pagoda is the number one alchemy sect in the source world, and they have many alchemy buildings and auction houses under their own command. Generally, they don't even look down on the Hongyu Chamber of Commerce.And the reputation of "Xing Mo Ke" was not good among the monks of the sect, so Hong Yu would never go to the Nine Demon Pagoda to seek humiliation.

In the past few years, the situation was chaotic, Hong Yu, the restraining force of the Nine Demon Tower, could not contact them, and the attitude of the "walker" was also ambiguous, so they could only continue to speculate on the matter that delayed the fifth watch.

But now, the source world is in chaos, Wu Gengtian can obviously come in handy, Hong Yu should even get in touch with the monks of the Nine Demon Pagoda who came to support Nantianzhou, and take advantage of the opportunities of many exchanges between Danxiu and Wu Gengtian. Fame to the greatest extent—

Of course, these are just conjectures, and Qinan doesn't know exactly how Hong Yu operates or thinks.

The cultivator of the Nine Demon Pagoda shrugged, and said: "Right now, Danxiu is divided into two groups, one group is responsible for refining the obtained results, and the other group is responsible for continuing research..."

Qinan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The secretion of this 'Holy Maiden' seems to be related to the Golden Crow's core."

"How do you know!" the cultivator of the Nine Demon Pagoda said in amazement, "Before we captured a lot of cores left by the Golden Crow after death, we did find ingredients similar to the mucus spit out by the 'Holy Maiden'..."

Qinan took out several jade slips from the storage bag: "I have discovered that there is a special power in the core of the Golden Crow, and I have conducted research on it, and based on this, I have made the Origin Realm Elixir 'Midnight Owl' .Unfortunately, the Midnight Owl is not very useful, and I haven't announced it to the public."

The cultivator of the Nine Demon Pagoda hastily glanced at these jade slips, and the expression on his face became more and more excited: "It's great! We can save a lot of time with this, it's just... oh my god, you are worthy of being a scholar! You will It is the great benefactor who saved countless creatures in the source world!"

Qinan had this intention in taking out these jade slips, and immediately uploaded the contents of the jade slips to the bronze mirror.

Many Danxiu gradually noticed the content he uploaded.

【Midnight Owl...is this name coming from a traveler? 】

[God, someone has discovered this thing long ago!Why didn't it come out sooner! 】

[I guess it was delayed on the way, right now the sea of ​​chaos is in chaos, and the communication is always out of order. 】

[Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and research!Shen Xiaozhou can hardly hold on here! 】

["Dan Fang No. 983" Hurry up, I have improved the existing Dan Fang based on this research data, fellow daoists in charge of refining, hurry up and use it to refine it!Try these to see if they work! 】

……

Qinan glanced at the monks in the fryer, and quickly put down the bronze mirror.He had already studied the achievements of some other monks on the way here, but he still needed to actually see the appearance of these victims and the "saint".

The eyes of the cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower were almost glued to the research handbook that Qinan had just released, and she finally withdrew her attention: "By the way, are you planning to continue researching the antidote or..."

Qinan smiled, and said, "I'm not familiar with the situation yet, so let's follow Dan Fang to refine the antidote."

Nine Demon Pagoda cultivator nodded, suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice, and said in embarrassment: "Well, although it is said to be an antidote, in fact, the results of the current research... can only eliminate the energy of erosion, And the creatures that have been eroded... will die."

Jinan was silent for a while.

"We have nothing to do. Now almost the entire source world has been affected," the cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower explained in a low voice, "If it is a small area, we can still use your fifth watch to freeze time and space, and wait for the best solution." But now... we have to kill them to prevent them from becoming a new source and corrupting more creatures."

"After all, these weird things can also devour dead objects and grow spiritually..."

Qinan whispered: "I see."

He and the cultivator of the Nine Demon Tower nodded in gesture, then turned and left in silence.Not far away, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Qinan?"

Qinan's expression moved slightly, and he looked up in the direction of the sound.

I saw a big black bird grabbing a huge hanging basket and descending from the sky. After placing the hanging basket lightly on the ground, it flapped its wings and stopped in front of Qinan.

Qinan raised his hand to block the wind and sand blown up by the blackbird's wings, and looked up at its nearly five-meter-high height: "You... Yan Nange?"

Black Bird looked at him: "Can't you recognize me? You didn't know I was a demon cultivator long ago."

"Did you just come back from Saint Demon Continent?" Qinan asked with a frown.

Yan Nange patted his wings, and said in a deep voice, "Yes. Ah Qing and I originally wanted to go to the Holy Demon Continent to find someone, but we didn't expect to find that the atmosphere in the Holy Demon Continent was a bit strange after staying for a long time. The source spirit of the man suddenly began to crazily breed the Golden Crow..."

Qinan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words: "And then?"

Yan Nange said: "We realized something was wrong, so we quickly took in a lot of mortals and low-level monks and then ran away."

Hearing that he saved many monks and mortals from Saint Demon Continent, Qinan felt a little complicated.He suspects that Shengmozhou is Guiyuan's base camp, but there is no evidence for the time being.He paused for a moment and said, "Don't let those people out for now, I'm worried that some of them may have problems."

Yan Nange was silent for a while, then turned to look at the surrounding scene: "Speaking of which, what's going on here? I just left Nantian less than ten years ago..."

"It was Gui Yuan who did it." Mentioning that Qinan was in a bad mood, he didn't want to explain, "If you want to know, go to the Xuanjing Sect monk and ask about the situation."

"and many more!"

Qinan stopped and looked back at him.

Yan Nange turned into a human form, and carried a person out of the hanging basket: "Please help me see Ah Qing first...why..."

Qinan's gaze paused for a moment on his somewhat pale and ugly face, and he lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms.

The man was dressed in white and had extremely handsome features.However, those black eyes that were originally evil were closed tightly, and his breath was soft, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Qinan frowned: "He is..."

Yan Nange's voice was a little trembling: "He...he suddenly complained of a headache on the way, and soon after that he heard a voice talking, and then gradually began to have hallucinations. Up to the last few days, even very few It's time to wake up...I..."

When he said this, he couldn't continue, and he paused for a long time before speaking again: "I know you are a powerful alchemist, and your level is far beyond the general Mahayana stage or even the source stage, maybe you will have a way to help him... ..."

While he was speaking, a snow-white cat with purple eyes jumped out of the hanging basket, crouched in the void and looked at them with worried eyes.

Qinan stepped forward, and lightly pressed his hand on Zhuguangjian Jun's forehead.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Qinan frowned even tighter.After a long while, he withdrew his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't know. Chasing Light is a soul cultivator at the level of Yuanshen, and you are also a very high-level Yuanjing Artifact Refiner. If even you can't find the abnormality, then the others will probably be too." The chances are not great. Maybe you should go to the Great Barren Island to find Senior Mo Ji from the Nine Demon Tower."

Yan Nange hugged Zhuguangjianjun tightly, stiffened for a long time, finally sighed slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Qinan, I didn't expect to see you in six years, and you actually joined the Emperor Heaven Sword Sect."

Qinan glanced at the silver-white robe he was wearing, and smiled: "More than that, if you go out and inquire now, you will also find that the secret that I am a scholar of ink has been known to everyone."

Yan Nange was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "You are actually the legendary number one alchemist in Nantianzhou."

Qinan pulled his lips, thinking about the current situation in Nantianzhou but couldn't quite laugh.

"Actually, this is not the first time." Yan Nange stroked the brows and eyes of the Light Chasing Sword Lord in his arms, and said in a low voice, "It was the same way after he experienced three years of heart demons, and fell into a deep sleep for nearly three years. A hundred years. I waited for him for a long time, always afraid that he...would never wake up again."

Heart Demon Tribulation?

Qinan frowned immediately after hearing this word.

Suddenly he remembered something.

The white flood dragons of Huangtian Sword Gate can use the demon pattern to make Tian Jie mistakenly think that the virtual flood dragon is the real body, thus avoiding crossing the catastrophe.

What about Yan Yunze?

This white cat-like Taxu Immortal Beast was adopted by Yan Nange a long time ago, and has no blood relatives, and Yan Nange completed the ancestral demon pattern on his body—but when he asked Yan Nange about his experience in crossing the catastrophe , but they didn't mention Yan Yunze at all!

So where did its catastrophe go?

Qinan stared at Yan Nange's eyes, feeling a strange premonition, seemingly intangible but close at hand: "Yan Nange, did Yan Yunze not pass the catastrophe?"

Yan Nange didn't expect him to ask this question, so he paused and said, "No. It seems that a demon cultivator who relies on awakening to return to the ancestral demon pattern does not need to cross the tribulation."

not like this.

The demon cultivator who returned to the ancestral demon pattern did not cross the catastrophe, just because another monk crossed the catastrophe for him.

Qinan's eyes swept over these three guys who were abnormal.

Yan Nange resisted the thunder calamity for Wei Qing, and then he became the origin realm before the catastrophe fell.But he is clearly not the "descendant" of Lord Zhuguangjian, and it is impossible for Zhuguang to resist the catastrophe for him.

The Immortal Beast Yan Yunze has no "ancestor" who resisted the catastrophe for it, but it did not cause the catastrophe either.

The light-chasing sword Jun Weiqing, suspected to have left sequelae after suffering a long period of inner demons, heard unknown "whispers" when Guiyuan caused turmoil, and fell into a coma.

What unknown secrets are hidden in them?

Qinan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked slowly, "I want to ask, when did Light Chasing Sword Lord start saying 'headache'?"

Yan Nange reported the time.

Qinan's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

This time seems to coincide with the annihilation of the source spirit of the Great Barren Continent, entering the second cycle!

And what's special about it is that there are only ten of the twelve source spirits known as "Supreme Great Power" left at this time!

Is there any connection between this incident and the coma of Lord Light-Chasing Sword?

And what is this connection?
