Ask with the devil [Xiu Xian]

After Ji Linchuan returned to the cave, he took out the evil energy and abyssal energy stored in the divine flames and refined them.

However, as the spirit became stronger and stronger, the body inevitably showed signs of decline.

The fragile meridians can't bear the impact on the body when the power of the soul attracts the aura of heaven and earth, and every time it is exercised, it will cause some slight damage to the internal organs.

Even if Zhenjun Daoyan had found all kinds of elixir for him and even tempered his body with the blood of a real dragon, it could not stop the erosion of this body by this world.

What's more, due to the limitation of the formulas he has practiced, the erosion he has suffered from different forces is even deeper.

Although the impact is not great now, once he breaks through the shackles and attains the transcendence of calamity, he is afraid that if he takes a random sword attack, he will be backlashed by spiritual energy and internally injured, and his cultivation will be considered useless.

Of course, if he can fully integrate his soul into the divine flame, all his troubles will naturally disappear, but the way of heaven is boundless, and it is so difficult to get out completely when he is in the trap.

I'm afraid that he had to wait for him to break through to the Mahayana stage, the moment when the catastrophe was approaching, before there was a slight flaw and opportunity.

And before that...

Ji Linchuan's hand slowly stroked the blade of the Tianji Sword, his brows were lowered, and he was thinking slowly.

In any case, he must persist until the Great Consummation of the Tribulation Transcendence Period, until he can hit the Mahayana Period at any time.

And if it is not a last resort, he will not use that method.

……

months later.

Outside Qingxiao Peak, the woods are overcast.

Zhuliu hides under a giant tree, and has been standing still for an unknown amount of time.

He was lowering his head and playing with a bamboo shovel in his hand, the emerald-like bamboo body had already been smoothed by him.The sharp and clear handwriting on it was reflected in the dark eyes, bringing back a few distant memories.

He occasionally raised his head to look at the towering mountain peak in front of him. The complex and deep barriers were placed on it, isolating the breath in the peak. Even he couldn't detect the fluctuation of the soul inside.

That person should be practicing in closed doors.

A monk's retreat can be as short as a few days or as long as hundreds of years. It is nothing more than the length of time, and it makes no difference to him.With such a close distance, being able to guard that person here makes me feel satisfied.

Suddenly, Zhuliu's movement of caressing the bamboo Xiao stopped, and he looked towards Qingxiao Peak, but seeing the dark clouds gathering on it, and the sound of thunder, he couldn't help but feel his heart tense, feeling a little worried.

I was about to walk in and have a look, but suddenly felt something, so I had to take a step back, hide in the shadow of the trees, and lose my breath.

Not far away, Zhenjun Daoyan landed at the foot of Qingxiao Peak, followed by a young man in a fine attire.

He went to the East China Sea to arrange affairs, and when he returned, he had just arrived at the boundary of the Xuanxianzong, and he sensed signs of a catastrophe in Qingxiao Peak, so he hurried back here to watch the catastrophe thunder that had already fallen.

The tribulation thunder was so powerful that it almost approached the power of the tribulation thunder when crossing the tribulation Mahayana.

He sighed slightly.

Ji Linchuan is responsible for the cause and effect of this world, and his aptitude and understanding are even more excellent. It is also expected that he will attract such a violent thunderstorm, but given his current situation, it may be a little difficult to deal with it.

Daoyan Zhenjun stared at the sky, and the place where the dark clouds gathered was condensed with vast mysteries, which were ever-changing.

It's just that in this catastrophe, those treacherous and unpredictable blood-red catastrophe thunders did not appear, all that fell were dark purple thunder from heaven, which carried great power but did not kill people madly.

Compared with the previous thunder tribulations, this time it looked much more peaceful.It's just that he didn't really believe that the one from the upper realm would stop so easily.

...It's like the calm before the storm.

The young man who followed him suddenly said: "Is this man who has crossed the catastrophe the apprentice you mentioned?"

His voice was hoarse, with a siren-like charm.

"En." Daoyan Zhenjun said lightly, still focusing on the thunder in front of him.

The young man next to him blinked in surprise, he had never seen Zhenjun Daoyan so cautious.

Half an hour later, seeing the catastrophe dissipated, Zhenjun Daoyan used his spiritual power and swept up the mountain.

The young man tilted his head to look at his back, and followed him up.

The enchantment of Qingxiao Peak opened and closed, and the cold wind blew the white sleeves of the man under the tree.

Zhuliu sighed.

...He also really wants to go in.

When Ji Linchuan walked out of the cave, his face was a little tired, and he was not as energetic as other monks who had successfully survived the tribulation.

Due to various reasons, he can only use the power of his soul to drive the spiritual power of heaven and earth to resist the catastrophe, and he has to protect this body from any damage. , but did not get half a point.

If he hadn't noticed Zhenjun Daoyan's aura, he wouldn't have pulled himself together and walked out.

Zhenjun Daoyan was still wearing a white robe with cloud patterns and a crown with white hair, without any trace of dust from the long journey.

Seeing that Ji Linchuan was safe and sound, he felt relieved and said, "——you have advanced, congratulations."

Ji Linchuan smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

Zhenjun Daoyan noticed Ji Linchuan's pale complexion, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried, but he saw Ji Linchuan's eyes moved to his side, and asked, "This is...?"

"In the Lower Eastern Sea Territory Lord, Dong Linqi."

The young man took the initiative to say that he has long blue hair that is different from ordinary people, with small horns on his head, a handsome face with a little femininity of the sea, wearing a light-colored robe with wave patterns, and his body has a deep and unpredictable aura.

Ji Linchuan could tell at a glance that this was the soul of a monk in the Mahayana period.

He has also heard of the name of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea Region.

Zhenjun Daoyan also explained: "The Dragon King wants to help us resist the catastrophe of heaven and earth, so he specially sent his spirit □□ here to help us."

Hearing this, Dong Linqi blinked again, and said, "How can I call myself the Dragon King in front of you?"

Seeing that Zhenjun Daoyan ignored his veiled compliment, his blue eyes turned and turned to Ji Linchuan.

"This little friend..." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your body must have reached its limit, right?"

Ji Linchuan froze for a moment, then nodded.

The promotion to cross the catastrophe has indeed made the power of the soul in his body almost reach the critical point.Originally, he still wanted to survive until the Great Consummation of the Tribulation Transcendence Period, but now it seems that no matter how much he resists, he might still use that method.

Dong Lin prayed: "I know a place that can help you temper your body and accommodate your soul."

He didn't ask how Ji Linchuan cultivated so that his body and soul could not be coordinated to such an extent, but because he was a disciple of Zhenjun Daoyan, he didn't mind selling a little flimsy.

"Please speak." It was Zhenjun Daoyan who spoke.

He has searched all over the years for Ji Linchuan's body training methods, and he has almost tempered that mortal body that cannot store spiritual energy to the extreme. He wants to continue to strengthen, but he has no clue.

"In the forbidden area of ​​my Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, there is a sacred tree named Ji. It is surrounded by strong vitality, which can prolong life for hundreds of years. It is also accompanied by the breath of water, nourishing the vitality of all things. If you practice in it, use the vitality to temper your body, The breath of water nourishes the meridians, which can stabilize the mind and soul and blend with the body."

After all, Dong Linqi smiled and said: "If you want to go, I will arrange everything properly and welcome you to practice. I can guarantee that no one in the Eastern Sea Region will disturb your peace under my nose. "

The invitation came very timely.

However, Ji Linchuan still had doubts about this person's courtship for no reason.He glanced at Zhenjun Daoyan, saw him nodded, and then agreed: "Then I will trouble the domain master to help."

……

It is inconvenient for Daoyan Zhenjun to leave the Shangxuanxianzong. At the moment when the means of the upper realm are unknown, one of him and Ji Linchuan must stay here, so he asked Dong Linqi to go to the East Sea with Ji Linchuan.

Zhuliu was waiting outside anxiously, but saw Ji Linchuan and a man in blue robe Yujian came out of Qingxiao Peak.

He followed up quietly, but only followed from a distance, keeping an appropriate distance. At the same time, he searched in his memory, but found no information related to this man.But the other party's shining Mahayana cultivation base made him feel a little troublesome.

Although he was sure that the Mahayana monks would not find him, there was still a possibility of exposure, and in front of Ji Linchuan, no mistakes could be tolerated.

It's better to find a reason to appear in front of Ji Linchuan openly, otherwise, with his cultivation speed, it would not be so difficult to reach the Mahayana stage, and the possibility of him being discovered at that time would be even higher.

Zhuliu secretly said in his heart.

Along the way, Dong Linqi and Ji Linchuan chatted happily.

He knew that Ji Linchuan was Zhenjun Daoyan's apprentice, so he didn't put on the airs of a monk in the Mahayana period at the beginning, he found some interesting topics, and then talked to him occasionally.

Ji Linchuan also responded politely.

Then while chatting, Dong Linqi discovered that the junior in front of him, who was less than one percent of his age, had the same vision and profound knowledge as him, or even surpassed him.

Ever since, the simple chat turned into a discussion on practice, and it was not until the two finally arrived in the Eastern Sea that Dong Linqi reluctantly ended the conversation.

He took Ji Linchuan to move a few short distances and came to the Dragon Palace.

"When I'm at the place, I'll go back to Xianzong first. My real body is still waiting for you in the hall." He handed Ji Linchuan a dark gold token and said, "With this token, no one in the Dragon Palace can embarrass you."

Ji Linchuan took the token and thanked him, and Dong Linqi beckoned for a few servants in the palace to lead him to the palace, then turned around and left gracefully.

This deep-sea Dragon Palace is resplendent and magnificent, with all kinds of jewels shining brightly, making it dizzying for the eyes.It was the first time for Ji Linchuan to enter this underwater kingdom, so it was a little strange.

After being brought into the most magnificent palace, he saw Dong Linqi's real body.

Rao was stunned for a moment with Ji Linchuan's concentration.

On the high seat of the palace, there is a faint blue flood dragon.Jiaolong is not big in size, its azure blue body is made of blue crystal, its scales are clear and beautiful, and its small horns are like warm jade.

However, such a dragon full of aura is wearing a golden robe, which is overflowing with precious light and piled up with pearls and jade. Although the things are extraordinary, they are unavoidably a little vulgar.

Ji Linchuan remained silent for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "...I have seen the real body of the domain master."

Jiaolong snorted, and several transparent tentacles danced in the air. After a while, he transformed into the image of Dong Linqi that Ji Linchuan had seen before, but he was still wearing the golden robe.

Then I heard him sigh in an unserious manner: "I have known for a long time that your human race's aesthetics are nothing more than this."

After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves again and said, "Okay, I'll send you to the forbidden area. If you need it, just insert your spiritual sense into the token and call me."

Ji Linchuan only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the scene around him changed.

In front of him is a giant tree that grows above the bottom of the sea, over a thousand feet high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but its color is dark blue that melts into the bottom of the sea.

There were fine fragments of phosphorescence emanating from the giant wood, and he reached out to catch a few wisps, which were the extremely pure spirit of life.

Presumably this is the sacred tree named Ji.

The surrounding sea water gently blows, without the pressure and coldness of the deep sea, but like spring breeze turning into rain, moistening things silently.

He sat down cross-legged, and the Chaos Jue was running, and the energy of life and the breath of water flowed into his body to make up for the defects of this body; and the two kinds of power that were completely different from the previous ones were also complemented by the refining of the Jue Chaos changes, replenishing the soul.

……

The years passed quietly, and decades passed in a blink of an eye.

In the quiet depths of the seabed, only Ji Linchuan exists here alone, watching the silent years and changing time.

If an ordinary person stayed in such a quiet place for a year or so, his mind would probably be in a state of confusion until he went crazy. However, for Ji Linchuan, it was just a slightly slower practice.

He has long been used to loneliness, walking alone on the road of seeking Tao, for thousands of years, he has never expected to be accompanied by others.

In these years, Ji Linchuan not only stabilized the state of crossing the catastrophe, but also alleviated a lot of incompatibility symptoms between the soul and the body. Unless he did his best, his body would not be burdened too much, and it would not be a problem to persist until the catastrophe crossed.

At the same time, he also completely refined the breath of life and water, plus the spiritual energy, demonic energy, evil spirit, and abyssal energy obtained before, and six kinds of power have been blended.And nine is the ultimate number, if you can find the other three different powers, then the chaos will be complete, and Mahayana can be expected.

As long as he waits until the moment of the Mahayana catastrophe, he will be able to find an opportunity to escape from this body!

After Ji Linchuan thought about it, he stood up and reached out to caress the huge sacred tree. Joy and joy emanated from it.

He whispered: "Thank you, I will come back to see you later."

This sacred tree has stood here for countless tens of thousands of years, and it has already developed a little wisdom. Seeing that he was about to leave, it shook its branches and leaves reluctantly, and countless twilight lights poured down, covering him inside.

A soft look appeared on Ji Linchuan's face, and then he was a little worried.If the catastrophe of heaven and earth really reached an irreparable situation, the first to be damaged would be these creatures living in the deep sea.

They are even unavoidable.

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened slightly, he patted the Shenmu to comfort him, and then summoned the Dragon King to pick him up.

The Dragon King didn't answer, but the surrounding space quietly swayed, and everything in front of him became hazy and dreamy, and he was out of the forbidden area in an instant.

In front of you is the blue water, with sparkling overhead, groups of corals at your feet, and colorful fish swimming around, which is very beautiful.

But it has already gone out of the scope of the Dragon Palace and arrived at the shallow sea.

Ji Linchuan was a little puzzled. After sweeping his consciousness during the tribulation period, he saw that the gate of the Dragon Palace was closed, and he was obviously not welcome to go back.

After thinking for a moment, he gave up his plan to go back to the Dragon King to thank him, and broke through the water directly, Yu Jian left the sea area.

Inside the Dragon Palace.

Dong Linqi sat on the throne with his blue dragon tail curled up, flicking the tip of his tail.

He really couldn't understand why the Shenmu had been so close to this human race after it had stood in the deep sea for thousands of years... It was a bit reconciled to be even closer than him.

And Shensoul is also in trouble.

The Dragon King felt a little wronged, but he had nowhere to say it, and felt a little bored.

……

While flying with his sword, Ji Linchuan contacted Zhenjun Daoyan to exchange information about the situation here.

When he was cultivating in the sea area these years, he never lost contact with the outside world.

More than ten years ago, as he expected, a third space crack appeared in Lanheng Prefecture. Although the formation was not immediately discovered to stop the sacrifice, due to the timely evacuation and precautions, monks and mortals suffered little loss .

With the enlightenment from the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Demon was quickly locked in the barrier, guarded by the Xingluo Xianmen, temporarily preventing the Heavenly Demon from escaping and harming all beings.

According to his speculation, the next crack will appear in Xianluan Domain.And he was in a hurry to leave the customs at this time, so he wanted to go there himself.After all, the Nine Serenity Secret Realm in the center of Xianluan Domain is the only place in the world that can connect to the underworld; if the abyss crack in this place is not handled properly, it may cause catastrophe.

What's more, Shangxuan Xianzong is located in Xianjue territory, and Xianluan domain is the closest to Xianjue domain. Although the domain is under the jurisdiction of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the power of Loose Cultivators is not enough to contend with this calamity, and they have already asked Shangxuan Xianzong to go there Repression.

Many Xianzong disciples have been searching for traces of the formation in the domain, and the time for Ji Linchuan to come is already late.It's just that the Xianluan Territory is vast and sparsely populated, so it would take a lot of time to search it inch by inch.

When Ji Linchuan landed in Bifang City, the first thing he did was to go to Xianhuan Lake where the Nine Serene Secret Realm is located.

This place was obviously taken care of, and the people who came to check one after another, most of them were disciples of the Shangxuan Sect, they all saluted Ji Linchuan and quickly informed him of the situation.

"I have been here more than ten times, but I have not found any trace of the magic circle."

These disciples said so, and added at the end: "It's just that the water in Xianhuan Lake is extremely deep and can isolate the spiritual consciousness. We will send people into the water to investigate with the naked eye. There may be omissions."

Ji Linchuan nodded slightly. During the tribulation period, his consciousness swept past around Xianhuan Lake, even covering the surrounding Nine Great Immortal Mountains, but he didn't find any traces of formations. But once he touched the crystal clear lake water, he would enter the sea like a ball of mud. disappeared without a trace.

He stood by the lake thinking, but suddenly heard a delicate voice: "Senior Brother Linchuan!"

Turning around and looking, I saw a figure in yellow clothes flashing in front of me, with a clear and beautiful face like a lotus emerging from water, it was Ling Yue who left alone in the Demon Realm decades ago.

Over the years, Ling Yue's appearance has not changed at all, but his temperament has become more stable and firm, and he has been tempered with a tenacious will. However, looking at him now, there is a bit of anxiety that cannot be concealed in a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Brother, I finally found you..." She took a breath and took out something from the storage ring.

Seeing that her hands were trembling, Ji Linchuan comforted her, "Calm down first, what happened?"

Ling Yue took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before spreading her hands in front of Ji Linchuan.

On the white palm, there is a cracked jade tablet.

"This jade card is engraved with the spiritual imprint of my master." Ling Yue said in a low voice, "I have been carrying it with me since I escaped from the Demon Realm. Unexpectedly, three days ago, the jade card suddenly cracked, Thinking about it, Master has already encountered an accident, even if he is still alive, he is only alive."

"I came to look for senior brother, not to ask senior brother to go to the Demon Realm to save people, but just to remind senior brother—"

"The eighth level of the Demon Realm is likely to have completely fallen."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry that I haven't updated the past two days due to some reasons, and I will try my best to make up for it in the past few days~ And the recent plot may be a bit tight, if you think it is too fast, please remind me;- )

Finally, thanks to Azhen, Fengqing, Jisui, Yaori, 21011215, Xueer for the mines flying all over the sky and Xingyu's grenade, what a da~
