I saw a bright flash of light suddenly appeared in mid-air, and it swept across the battlefield like the autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves. All the cold and ice evil thunders were swept away like garbage!
Under the terrifying power of this flash of light, even the raging cold evil wind lost its power, and could not fall down to harm the people or scenery here. Immediately afterwards, the flash turned into a circular protective layer, directly covering the entire headquarters of the First Branch, completely protecting it.
Seeing this scene, many disciples of the Xuanyin Sect who had escaped from death could not help but shout excitedly. Song Zhong was also shocked, and said to himself, "There were tens of thousands of divine thunder just now, and even the mountains could be blasted into grand canyons. However, such terrifying power was easily swept away by this flash of light. This What on earth is this thing that is so powerful?”
Just as Song Zhong was surprised, he naturally put away his offensive and began to be cautiously on guard.
Then, a soft white light flew over from the teleportation array deep in the headquarters, and soon arrived dozens of miles in front of Song Zhong's Cold Ice Demon Ship, and then revealed an old man with an ancient appearance.
This is a guy who looks like an immortal, with a kind face and kind eyes, and an air of immortality. His snow-white beard fluttered on his chest, and he stood facing the wind, with long sleeves fluttering, just like an immortal!
However, although this person was right in front of Song Zhong, Song Zhong always had an unreal feeling towards him. Although this guy's appearance is extremely real, and the terrifying coercion emanating from him cannot be fake, Song Zhong just feels like he is not seeing a physical person, but just a light and shadow! This made Song Zhong feel very strange, so he stared at him.
At this moment, the old man also looked at Song Zhong and thought to himself, "Is this the Song Zhong who just destroyed Taoist Black Mist's body?"
…
It turned out that after the black mist Taoist was forced to give up his body by Song Zhong, he hurriedly used his fairy weapon black chess to escape back to Xuanyin Sect's headquarters, Xuanyin Cave. When he told what happened there, the entire Xuanyin Sect's top brass was shocked!
The First Branch is the most important branch of the Xuanyin Sect. Its importance is self-evident. Everyone knows the serious consequences of losing it. Logically speaking, they should send people to rescue there immediately. However, without the help of the top flying boat Xuanyin Shenzhou, what can they do to fight against Song Zhong's Cold Ice Demon Shenzhou
There are only four Mahayana masters who are the backbone of the sect. As a result, Yin Huzi's whereabouts are unknown, and Black Mist Taoist has broken his body and is no longer needed. The only two remaining Mahayana masters can't beat Song Zhong even if they are tied together. A powerful top-level flying boat
However, it was not enough if the first branch of the Xuanyin Sect could not be saved. In desperation, the senior leaders of the Xuanyin Sect could only invite their elders to come out, so Zhou Qingkong, the Second Tribulation Immortal, came to this world. At the most critical moment, he saved the lives of many disciples and kept the first branch of the sect from being destroyed by Song Zhong.
After arriving here, Zhou Qingkong began to look at Song Zhong. This guy who had turned Xuanyin Sect upside down really aroused Zhou Qingkong's great curiosity. As he looked, he thought in his heart, "On the surface, this guy The boy is very majestic, but his strength is just distracting. It’s strange, how can he command a top-level flying boat with such strength?”
In fact, it's no wonder he is so strange. You must know that under normal circumstances, top-level flying boats must be controlled by Mahayana masters. Distraction monks do not have this ability. But Song Zhong is an exception, because the Hanlin Ice Fiend Shenzhou was not a top-level flying boat at the beginning. It was the cooperation between Song Zhong and Han Bing'er that upgraded it to a top-level flying boat.
Since Han Bing'er and Song Zhong often cultivated their minds and hearts, there was an inexplicable connection between their minds and hearts. As a result, they could use the treasures of mind sacrifices to each other. For example, Song Zhong can use Han Bing'er's Xuanji Ice Soul Divine Sword, and Han Bing'er can also use Song Zhong's Lingbao Jingxin Pavilion. In this case, the fairy weapon Han Bing'er practiced, the Cold Wind Exquisite Jade Ball, Song Zhong can also use it, and it is almost the same as what Song Zhong himself practiced.
In this case, the Cold Ice Demon Shenzhou with the fairy weapon Cold Wind Exquisite Jade Ball as its core can be commanded by Song Zhong. Of course, Song Zhong is not strong enough to control this top-level flying boat personally, but it doesn't matter. Song Zhong has nine witches of desire who have become Void Refining monks. With the help of their concerted efforts, plus Song Zhong's fairy spirit With their energy, it was no longer a matter of course to command an immortal weapon, the Cold Wind Exquisite Jade Ball, allowing them to control the entire Cold Ice Divine Ship.
This can be called a weird coincidence. If you are not involved, it is difficult to draw a correct conclusion just by outsiders guessing. So the old man thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Since he couldn't figure it out, the old man simply didn't think about it anymore. He then gently waved his sleeves and said directly to Song Zhong, "Are you Song Zhong?"
"Yes, it's me!" Song Zhong then said cautiously: "May I ask you, sir?"
The reason Song Zhong was so polite was entirely because his intuition told him that the old guy in front of him was many times more terrifying than the late Mahayana master Hei Wu Taoist he killed. He was definitely a powerful and perverted master!
"Hehe!" The old man chuckled, then directly touched his beard and said with an arrogant look: "Second Tribulation Loose Immortal, Zhou Qingkong!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he was shocked at first, but then he immediately felt relaxed and smiled secretly, "Haha, it turns out to be Sanxian!" Then I won’t be afraid anymore! '
…
It turns out that this loose immortal is a master at the level of Mahayana and Dzogchen. After the failure of the tribulation, the remaining soul was re-condensed into a kind of existence between immortals and mortals.
It is said that Sanxian is an immortal because they are indeed full of fairy spirit. It is said that Sanxian is a mortal because they do not have the entity of an immortal and can only exist in the form of spirits. Moreover, they cannot ascend to the fairy world. Can survive in the mortal world.
It is also worth mentioning that although the loose immortals are all the product of failure to overcome the tribulation, in fact they are all extremely powerful. Those who were not powerful would have been killed by the calamity long ago.
According to the statistics of seniors in the world of cultivation, only one out of a hundred masters who have survived tribulations can succeed. Among the remaining 99 people, only seven or eight can cultivate into Sanxian. As for the others, they don’t even have the chance to cultivate Sanxian. None. He was completely destroyed in form and spirit by the catastrophe.
Therefore, even those who practice Sanxian are definitely among the best among the masters of tribulation. Moreover, after becoming loose immortals, they have no physical bonds and no mortal spiritual energy on their bodies. They are all the spiritual energy that has been tested by the heavenly tribulation. Once they recover from the injuries of the heavenly tribulation, their strength will become even stronger than before. Even if it is a single calamity immortal, it is much more powerful than a Mahayana and Dzogchen level master.
However, although the Sanxian is strong, they have the power of immortals but are in the mortal world, and they are not favored by heaven at all. Therefore, every thousand years, the Sanxian will face a natural disaster. Every time they survive a catastrophe, their strength will increase several times. Therefore, the strength of Sanxian can be calculated by how many heavenly tribulations he has survived. The guy who was split into loose immortals by the heavenly calamity in the Mahayana period is the loose immortal of one calamity, and so on, until he becomes the loose immortal of nine calamities!
The reason why it ends at the Nine Tribulations is because as long as the loose immortals can survive the nine thunder tribulations, they can directly ascend to the heavenly tribulations, and no longer have to worry about the heavenly tribulations that occur once in a thousand years.
Of course, the real thing is not that simple. God will not let people ascend easily, especially these loose immortals. Therefore, the thousand-year thunder tribulations they encounter will become more severe each time. In short, the vast majority of people will die before four thunder tribulations. In the history of the world of cultivation for so many years, there are so many Loose Immortals who have failed to survive the tribulations, but those who can actually become the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals can be found with just a slap. In the current generation, even a Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal cannot be found.
The Zhou Qingkong opposite is actually a Second Tribulation Loose Immortal, so his strength must be very amazing. I am afraid that it is possible for him to fight against Song Zhong's Cold Ice Demon Shenzhou alone! And this was why Song Zhong was shocked when he heard his identity.
However, although the Sanxian is extremely powerful, they also have huge limitations. This limitation is the so-called way of heaven!
You must know that the loose immortals are already immortal spirits, completely different from mortals. It is already illegal to be in the mortal world, so there are nine consecutive thousand-year catastrophes waiting for them. Therefore, in this case, Heaven will never allow Sanxian to act recklessly in the human world. The only thing that Sanxian can do is to practice quietly in a secluded place, and must be completely isolated from mortals. Even his direct disciples, even his wife and son, cannot meet or communicate with each other.
If you don't do this, the loose immortal will be contaminated by the cause and effect of the mortal world. The more causes and effects of contamination, the more severe the thousand-year catastrophe will become. Moreover, ordinary small karma can be left for the Millennium Tribulation to be liquidated. If the karma they are contaminated with is too large, then Heaven will immediately send down additional thunder tribulations that are not included in the Thousand Years Tribulation. The power of the thunder tribulation is naturally extremely terrifying. There is more than 90% chance of directly killing the loose immortal to pieces.
Under the threat of thunder and calamity from heaven, no loose immortals dare to walk around in the mortal world. This is why no loose immortals are ever seen in the mortal world.
