Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 724: Success and failure

Views:

There were dark clouds, lightning and thunder above the Tribulation Platform.

Mu Xingchen stood on the stage, looking into the sky.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, all the exposed skin was black, and his breath was extremely weak.

"My husband, Master Mu said that if we fail, we will die. He asked us not to save him."

Luo Qinglan looked at the Tribulation Platform with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Lin nodded.

Mu Xingchen’s choice was correct. The other party’s life span had come to an end. If he failed to be promoted, even if he was rescued, he would only be barely alive and would not live long.

Cutting off the retreat and fighting with your back against the wall can also increase the chances of success.

But he felt that Mu Xingchen was at the end of his strength, and the other party had only survived five thunder tribulations, and there was little hope that he could withstand the last golden thunder tribulation.

If he hadn't used his innate magical powers to help change the other party's fate, the other party would have died without a doubt. However, he only changed it a little bit, and the backlash was too severe and he couldn't do more. Now it depends on what will happen to the other party next. The success or failure of the other party can also verify whether his innate magical powers are effective.

After brewing for a while, the golden thunder condensed and formed, and fell down with a loud bang!

"open!"

Mu Xingchen roared, and an extremely large talisman was slapped on his body. His body suddenly became bigger, and his weak breath was instantly restored, even stronger than before.

Then, a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the silver shield in his hand.

This is a defensive spiritual treasure. With his level of cultivation, he cannot activate it normally. He can only use talismans to overdraw energy and use his essence and blood as a guide to use it.

The silver shield shone brightly and began to spin rapidly. It became several times larger and then faced the thunder.

Then Mu Xingchen cast out several talismans, all of which were high-level talismans, forming several layers of defensive light curtains.

Finally, he took out a fist-sized ball, which was the lightning-attracting stone.

But he didn't use it directly.

Although cultivators can use treasures to weaken the thunder tribulation when they are undergoing tribulation, they cannot completely eliminate the thunder tribulation. In that case, without the baptism of thunder tribulation, they cannot successfully advance. Especially this last golden thunder tribulation, which contains the aura of rules. Only by integrating the aura of rules in the thunder tribulation can the Nascent Soul be condensed.

Therefore, he had to first see how much these defensive measures could weaken the thunder, and then decide whether to use the lightning-attracting stone.

When Chen Lin saw the other party's methods, he couldn't help but look surprised.

It seems that Mu Xingchen has accumulated a lot of good things over the years and is well prepared. If so, coupled with the weakening of the tribulation formation, it is possible that he will be able to withstand this tribulation thunder.

But in this case, the gap in the opponent's destiny line would not be caused by this thunder calamity, but would probably be caused by the next calamity of the inner demon.

really.

Although the power of the golden thunder was terrifying, it was first weakened by the defensive formation of the Tribulation Platform, and then weakened a little by the light curtain formed by the spiritual treasure-level shield and talismans. Finally, part of its power was removed by the lightning stone, and the remaining power was less than one-tenth, which was resisted by Mu Xingchen.

The inner demon calamity came soon.

Luo Qinglan flew onto the stage first, followed by Chen Lin and Zhuge Hengyun.

All three were registered guardians. The person in charge of the Tribulation Platform did not stop them, but was rather surprised.

Although the Inner Demon Tribulation is powerful, there is no need to mobilize so many troops, and no one else can help with it. However, the three of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were ready to take action at any time.

Chen Lin stared at Mu Xingchen's body closely.

The reason why they were so nervous was mainly because Mu Xingchen was different from normal cultivators who were undergoing tribulation. Mu Xingchen's body was assimilated by the strange rules of the ancient country's ruins. Once the inner demon invaded, it was very likely that he could not be suppressed and something unexpected would happen.

As expected, Mu Xingchen, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly emanated a burst of evil aura. Moreover, the aura was not pure. It was mixed with a hint of the devil's aura. The two auras intertwined with each other, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

At this time, the fragment of treasure hanging in front of Mu Xingchen emitted a faint fluorescence, suppressing the strange aura.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could calm down, they saw a ball of black gas appear on Mu Xingchen's forehead, and instantly spread to his entire face and spread to his body.

At the same time, the strange aura that had been suppressed erupted again, and it was even stronger than before!

"No, my husband, hurry up!"

Luo Qinglan was shocked when he saw this and immediately looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin raised his hand and a ray of lightning fell on Mu Xingchen.

Mu Xingchen fell down, his body instantly turned into a burnt lake, twitching continuously.

At the same time, lightning flashed on his body and continued to wreak havoc.

Chen Lin grinned, as if he had used too much force, but otherwise he would not be able to suppress the abnormality of the other person's body.

After a long time, Mu Xingchen stopped moving, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

As soon as Chen Lin stretched out his hand, Mu Xingchen grabbed it and put it into the space bag, and the three of them quickly left the Tribulation Platform.

Three months later.

"How is it, Master Mu, are you feeling better?"

Chen Lin came to Mu Xingchen's residence and asked Luo Qinglan who was waiting outside.

Luo Qinglan nodded and said, "It has finally stabilized, but it will probably take more than a hundred years to fully recover. But at least the promotion was successful, and there is no need to worry about lifespan."

"That's good. What about you? When do you plan to make a breakthrough?"

Chen Lin was relieved after hearing this and asked Luo Qinglan.

Luo Qinglan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhuge is planning to get promoted soon, let's wait until he gets promoted. During this time, I can choose a place and build Qingyang Sect first."

Chen Lin frowned.

He walked forward, took the other person's hand and said, "You really have no confidence at all? If that's the case, it's better not to be promoted yet. You have a long lifespan, so there's no rush."

He had also used his innate magical powers to look into the other party's destiny before, but it was all blurry and he couldn't see clearly.

On the one hand, this is due to the other party's high cultivation level, and on the other hand, it is affected by other factors, but the specific influence cannot be determined. It is most likely due to blood factors.

When he looked at Zhuge Hengyun's fate line, although it was not very clear, the line within a short distance could still be vaguely seen.

Luo Qinglan leaned against Chen Lin and said faintly, "No, I know my own situation. The more I assimilate, the more serious it will be, and the deeper the brand in my blood will be. Yang Zishi's purification speed cannot keep up with the speed at which the brand increases. Anyway, it's a fight, so what difference does it make if it's sooner or later?"

At this point, she leaned her head close to Chen Lin's ear and whispered, "If something unexpected happens to me, you don't have to be sad, my husband, and you don't have to wait for me. I think Yang Zishi is good. You can take him into your room. I won't mind."

Chen Lin sighed helplessly, took the other person into his arms, and remained silent.

There is really no way to deal with the opponent's situation. The innate divine power is of no use. Yang Zishi's purification ability takes too long. If he wants to use the innate power in the Thunder God Sword to remove the alien energy in the opponent's body, he needs to release all his power and cleanse continuously. The opponent can't bear it at all.

He had planned to give it a try before, but after seeing Mu Xingchen's condition, he completely gave up the idea.

He only released a little bit of his power to help Mu Xingchen suppress the abnormality, but he almost destroyed his opponent's soul. He needed a hundred years to recuperate. If he released his full power, he would be reduced to charcoal in an instant.

Although Mu Xingchen had condensed his Nascent Soul, the assimilation problem still existed and had not been eliminated.

"Don't worry, I still have some confidence. Even if I fail to be promoted, I still have ways to save my life."

Seeing Chen Lin's look, Luo Qinglan spoke in a low voice.

However, Chen Lin just felt that the other party was comforting her and remained silent.

A few months later.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, you should think carefully. You are in danger of death this time. It is better to wait a few more years."

Under the stage of Dujie, Chen Lin made the final persuasion.

It is said that there is a chance of survival, but in reality there is no chance of survival.

He also checked the other party's destiny lines, all of which were broken, without any connection. With his ability, it was impossible to correct them, so he didn't even try.

"Haha, thank you Elder Chen for your reminder, but I can't control myself. I don't have much time left to live, and the alienation in my body has been getting worse recently. I can't wait any longer. I can only risk my life."

After that, he clasped his fists towards Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan and said, "Thank you for your care for so long. I have another unwelcome request. If I die, please keep an eye on my son and take care of him if possible. I will be very grateful!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, don't be too pessimistic. Didn't Master Mu succeed in his promotion? You are not completely hopeless."

Luo Qinglan spoke after hearing this.

Zhuge Hengyun shook his head and flew onto the tribulation platform with a determined look on his face.

Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan also flew up, paying full attention and ready to help at any time.

Unfortunately, the great tribulation of transformation into a spirit is not as simple as the tribulation of the Nascent Soul. The opponent did not even make it to the tribulation of the inner demon, and fell under the three-color tribulation.

The soul is destroyed!

Countless monks had died on the Tribulation Stage. The onlookers just sighed and dispersed. However, Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan stood there for a long time before secretly collecting each other's remains and belongings.

When the news got back, everyone in the yard was sad.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lin has completely consolidated his cultivation and made some progress. Mu Xingchen has also suppressed his physical injuries and can move normally.

During this period, Yang Zishi succeeded in forming a golden elixir, becoming a rare cultivator among those with acquired spiritual roots who could form a golden elixir. This caused quite a stir among the familiar group of cultivators.

However, Chen Lin knew that Yang Zishi's ability was far more than that.

The other party's spiritual root talent can not only purify external objects, but also purify oneself. Over the years, the other party's spiritual roots have become less complicated. Sooner or later, they will be able to transform from acquired spiritual roots to innate spiritual roots.

In terms of long-term development, she is much better than her brother Yang Ziqing.

Three years is a short time for a cultivator, but it is enough time to accomplish many things. The most important of these is that Luo Qinglan rebuilt the Qingyang Sect.

Although it is not large in scale, it is very formal, and it purchased a mountain with top-grade spiritual veins as its mountain gate.

After finishing this task, Chen Lin knew that Luo Qinglan's breakthrough was not far away.
