Time passed little by little, and huge thunder struck one after another, with lightning and thunder, resounding through the sky.
Normally speaking, it was against the rules for Han Yan to try to reach the Nascent Soul stage here, but Han Changming had informed Ouyang Yan that Han Changming could refine top-grade elixirs, so Ouyang Yan turned a blind eye.
If he wanted to reach the fusion stage, Ouyang Yan would not easily agree.
After a cup of tea, the thunderclouds rolled violently, and arcs of five different colors, red, blue, yellow, sapphire and gold, emerged.
"Five-colored divine thunder!"
Han Changming's face darkened.
The Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion's attempt to reach the Void Refining Stage attracted three-colored divine thunder. Han Yan was the incarnation of the Golden Boy and the Golden Crow, and he was able to attract five-colored divine thunder, which was beyond Han Changming's expectation.
This is understandable. The more powerful the bloodline of a spirit beast, spirit insect, or spirit bird, the stronger the thunder tribulation that will be attracted when it attempts to reach a higher realm. This also shows the difference between an ordinary spirit beast and a spirit beast with a powerful bloodline.
Generally speaking, when spiritual beings or cultivators with extraordinary strength try to reach a higher realm, the power of thunder tribulation will be relatively strong. This is a consensus in the world of immortal cultivators.
“As long as he survives the five five-colored divine thunders, he will be able to survive the sixty-nine thunder tribulations and advance to the Void Refining Stage. With the treasures prepared by my husband, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Ye Xin analyzed.
The five-colored thunderclouds rolled and surged violently, and a thick five-colored lightning bolt struck straight down.
Han Yan was standing in an open space, a pale yellow light curtain covering him. His face was slightly pale, and he looked as if he had consumed too much magic power.
The five-colored lightning struck the yellow light curtain, and a muffled sound was heard. The dazzling five-colored lightning shot up into the sky, covering the entire yellow light curtain.
Before the five-colored lightning dissipated, the second five-colored lightning struck, followed by the third and fourth.
When the fourth five-colored lightning struck, the entire mountain shook violently. The dazzling five-colored lightning submerged most of the mountaintop, and smoke and dust filled the sky.
The five-colored thundercloud rolled violently and turned into a gigantic five-colored thunder phoenix, which was wrapped in countless five-colored electric arcs and swooped down from the sky.
Before the five-colored thunder phoenix flew into the five-colored lightning light, a golden flame flew out from the five-colored lightning light and hit the five-colored thunder phoenix.
The golden flame hit the Five-Colored Thunder Phoenix. The Five-Colored Thunder Phoenix's body trembled slightly and exploded, turning into a huge five-colored sun that soared into the sky, very conspicuous.
After a while, a ball of golden fire lit up in front of Han Changming and Ye Xin, and Han Yan appeared. His face was pale and his magic power was severely depleted, but he was not seriously injured.
"Yes, you have entered the Void Refining Stage."
Han Changming praised.
"It's all thanks to the master for his cultivation, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."
Han Yan said gratefully.
If he had not transformed into a human form, not to mention that he would not have been able to reach the Void Refinement Stage so quickly, he would not have been able to survive the sixty-nine thunder tribulations so easily.
"You have just entered the Void Refining Stage. You need to practice in seclusion for a while to consolidate your cultivation."
Han Changming gave instructions and took Han Yan back to his residence, and Ye Xin instructed the tribesmen to clean up the mess.
After returning to his residence, Han Yan walked into a secret room and practiced in seclusion.
Han Changming and Ye Xin sat in the stone pavilion and chatted. The war had been going on for decades and was not over yet. Now, cultivators in the fusion stage seldom took action, and it was cultivators below the fusion stage who took action.
We lost two strongholds today, and we will organize people to take them back the day after tomorrow.
Every loss of a combined cultivator is a huge loss for any side. One-on-one fights basically do not occur. When combined cultivators fight, there will be six or seven combined cultivators in a melee. It is quite difficult to kill the enemy one-on-one.
The fusion cultivators fought to the death, and the two sides had a tacit understanding and sent the Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation cultivators as the vanguard. Relatively speaking, the death of one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators was not as great as the death of one fusion cultivator, not to mention the Spiritual Transformation cultivator, who was just a stronger cannon fodder.
The Han family dispatched thirty Jindan monks to participate in the battle. Seven of them have died, and two are seriously injured and are still recuperating.
"It's been so long, why haven't the clan leader and Uncle Wu contacted us?"
Ye Xin asked doubtfully.
Han Debiao accompanied several Void-Refining Monks to carry out an important mission. It has been more than fifty years, and there is still no news.
If Han Changming had not contacted Ye Xue using the Star-Moon Plate and knew that Han Debiao, Han Zhangxiang and Liang Youshan's natal soul lamps had not yet been extinguished, he would have suspected that something had happened to them.
Han Changming asked Ouyang Yan about the situation, but Ouyang Yan didn't know either. He said he had no right to ask and couldn't contact the team leader.
Hong Yusen and Hong Yilong also participated in this mission. Han Changming asked Hong Yilin, and Hong Yilin admitted that he had also contacted people other than Hong Yilong and Hong Yusen.
"It's really strange. What kind of mission can't use the Star-Moon Disk to communicate for decades? Could he have been captured?"
Han Changming guessed.
If Han Zhangxiang and others were captured and the enemy did not kill them to silence them, their natal soul lamps would indeed not be extinguished, and they would naturally not be able to use the Star-Moon Plate to contact their relatives and friends.
Why didn't the enemy kill Han Zhangxiang and the others, nor use the Star-Moon Plate to contact their relatives and friends? Waiting for rebellion
Han Changming and Ye Xin were both very worried. What if Han Zhangxiang and others were captured alive, and the enemy threatened their lives and forced Han Changming and others to surrender to the enemy? What should they do then
"The clan leader and the others should be fine. Perhaps they have mistakenly entered some secret or dangerous place! Affected by the restriction, the Star-Moon Disk has stopped working."
Ye Xin comforted.
Some secret realms or dangerous places have restrictions, natural restrictions or artificial restrictions, which will cause the Star-Moon Disk to malfunction and become unusable.
"Maybe! But since it's an important mission, Senior Xu from the Seven Swords Sect should be able to get in touch with them! I hope they're okay."
Han Changming nodded, but a hint of worry still appeared in his eyes.
He took out a pale yellow communication disk and typed in a spell. Ouyang Feng's voice rang out, "Fellow Daoist Han, the batch of spiritual medicine you requested has arrived. Come over and sign for it. If you have nothing else to do, start refining the pills! The front line is pressing for help."
Han Changming would occasionally hand over some top-grade elixirs. With top-grade elixirs, injuries would heal quickly and the chance of dying from serious injuries was very low. Everyone wanted to have top-grade healing elixirs, but there were too many people and too little elixirs.
He only handed over some of the top-grade elixirs and allowed other Void Refinement cultivators to exchange them for good deeds. However, the good deeds required to exchange for a top-grade elixir were an astronomical number. Most of the Void Refinement cultivators were unable to exchange for top-grade elixirs to heal their injuries. They could seek Han Changming's help and exchange rare items for top-grade elixirs.
Han Changming exchanged for many rare items, including rare thousand-year-old elixirs, Dharma materials, weapon refining materials, array formation materials, etc., and his horizons became wider and wider.
Han Changming is now an important alchemist in the Tiandan Palace. Ouyang Feng praises him because Han Changming is able to refine top-grade elixirs.
There are top-grade elixirs for exchange in each of the six frontline strongholds, but the quantity is not large. The top-grade elixirs in the Qianyang Valley stronghold are relatively more. Ouyang Yan, Zhao Tianyue and others all praised Ouyang Feng, saying that he did a good job, and asked him to meet Han Changming's requirements as much as possible.
Whoever has the ability will enjoy better treatment.
"Got it. I'll be there right away."
Han Changming agreed and put away the communication disk. He said hello to Ye Xin, got up and left his residence and headed for Tiandan Palace.
······
Seven Sword Stars, Seven Sword Sect.
A manor covering an area of 1,000 acres, with pavilions, towers, waterside terraces and corridors.
Jin Yilong and a graceful young woman in a white dress were sitting in a green stone pavilion, talking about something with their brows furrowed.
"What's going on? There has been no news about Junior Sister Xu for so long? If her life soul lamp had not been extinguished, I would have suspected that something had happened to her."
Jin Yilong said with a frown.
"I don't know. The Star-Moon Disk has been unable to contact them, and we don't know what happened to them. I have already contacted the monks on the front line, and they can't contact their relatives who participated in the mission. It's very strange. If they were captured by the enemy, the enemy should have used their Star-Moon Disk to contact us. If they died in battle, their life soul lamps should have been extinguished."
The young woman in the white dress asked doubtfully.
Bai Yibing, in the middle stage of fusion, is the law enforcement elder of the Seven Swords Sect.
"They used starships to travel, so they should have reached the Blood Sky Star Region long ago. Could it be that they were trapped in a powerful person's meditation cave or some natural restrictions?"
Jin Yilong guessed.
"I don't know. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation."
Bai Yibing shook his head and said
"Please pay close attention to this matter and inform me immediately if you have any news."
Jin Yilong ordered.
Bai Yibing responded and agreed.
······
Yulan Star, Yulan Valley.
In Yu Lan Hall, Ma Bin sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.
Su Wan'er, Ning Yue and Yang Ting stood aside with frowns on their faces.
"No news about that group of monks yet?"
Ma Bin asked in confusion.
Their senior insider reported that the Chiyang Star Region had dispatched experts to carry out an important mission. It was very likely that they were going to infiltrate the Xuetian Star Region and follow the example of the Blood Demon Sect and the Yang Family to destroy a major force or attack the lair of a major force.
For this reason, the major forces in the Blood Sky Star Region have stepped up their vigilance, being relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. Once the enemy attacks, they will definitely be in trouble.
Strangely, decades later, the enemy never showed up.
"According to the insider report, this group of monks have been missing for decades and have not been contacted. The Star-Moon Disk has also become ineffective. What's strange is that I haven't heard that the life soul lamps of the monks who were carrying out the mission have been extinguished."
Su Wan'er was confused.
The Star-Moon Disk also malfunctioned, and they did not wait for the enemy to appear. They did not hear that the mission participants' innate soul lamps had gone out.
"That's strange. Could they be trapped in some dangerous place? Some Mahayana monks would build their meditation caves in the starry sky. There are also some natural restrictions. The last Grand Elder of our Blood River Palace was traveling in a star ship, but he was trapped in a restriction in the starry sky for tens of thousands of years. He finally got out of it, but the sixth great calamity arrived and he was killed by it."
Yang Ting analyzed.
Ma Bin nodded and said, "I hope so! The rear has opened the formation for decades, and it consumes a lot of resources."
Activating a large formation to protect the clan or the sect would result in a relatively large loss. Even if only some of the restrictions were activated and it ran for decades, the amount of top-grade spirit stones consumed would be a considerable number.
Fortunately, the top ten forces are well-off and can still withstand it, but they cannot let their guard down as the enemy does not show up.
Ma Bin once suspected that the insider had been turned, but after thinking about it carefully, the possibility was not high. Even if he was really turned, it was impossible to be used in this period. They did not suffer any major losses, just consumed a batch of top-grade spirit stones.
"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and have some rest! If you have any news about this group of monks, notify me immediately."
Ma Bin ordered.
Ning Yue and the other two agreed and bowed and left.
······
In the starry sky, you can see a large number of colorful light spots.
Somewhere in the void, ripples appeared, a golden light flashed, and then a huge black hole appeared. A huge ship with shining light flew out of the hole. It was the Feilong.
Han Zhangxiang and other monks stood on the deck. They looked nervous, as if they had encountered something terrible.
After flying out of the black hole, the black hole healed.
Wu Lei Zhenjun and others all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with an expression as if they had escaped from death.
"Finally I got out. I thought I was going to be trapped to death in that damn place!"
Jin Xin said to himself.
They drove their starships towards the Blood Sky Star Region and encountered many seventh-level monsters on the way.
They were fighting against a seventh-level monster and encountered a starry sky storm, which dragged them into an independent space. If the starship had not been made of special materials, it would have been scrapped long ago.
That space was dead silent, with very few living creatures. The Star-Moon Disk was also out of order, making it impossible to contact the outside world.
They tried many methods and were trapped for decades. Later, they each took out their own treasured materials. Jin Xin led many refiners to work together to refine a one-time treasure that could break through the space. They found a suitable place to use this treasure and finally escaped.
Wu Lei Zhenjun removed some of the restrictions, took out a shining star-moon disk, entered a spell, and said, "Madam Zhang, how is the war going?"
"Friend Xu, I finally got in touch with you. What happened? How come there has been no news from you for decades? We thought something happened to you."
A surprised female voice sounded.
"It's a long story. We were trapped in an independent space and finally got out. The war is not over yet!"
Lord Wu Lei asked.
"Not yet. We are in a stalemate. If you are okay, continue with the mission. If the losses are too great, return for replenishment."
The woman suggested.
Lord Wu Lei asked about the specific situation of the battle, and the other party answered truthfully.
"Since the war is not over yet, let's continue our mission! Don't let this matter spread outside for the time being. This will be better for everyone."
Lord Wu Lei warned.
"Got it. Please be careful."
The woman agreed.
Lord Wu Lei put away the Star-Moon Plate, heaved a sigh of relief, and lifted the ban.
"Let's go on with our mission."
Lord Wulei said in a deep voice, and with a pinch of his fingers, the starship suddenly glowed with light and disappeared into the starry sky.
······
Qianyang Valley, Tiandan Palace.
Han Changming was talking to Ouyang Feng, holding a red storage ring in his hand.
"Still no news? Fellow Daoist Ouyang?"
Han Changming said with a frown.
He came to collect the spiritual medicine and asked Ouyang Feng about the news of Han Zhangxiang and others, but Ouyang Feng was also unaware of it.
"I really don't know. If I can contact my relatives, I can tell you."
Ouyang Feng said sincerely.
Children of the Ouyang family also participated in this operation, and Ouyang Feng was unable to contact his relatives.
