The old Taoist Xuan Yuan did not take this heavenly tribulation into consideration at all, and even directly captured and devoured those thunder dragons, claiming that he would use the power of this heavenly tribulation to make up for his limited cultivation. And his actions seemed to anger the "Heavenly Tribulation Will" even more, making the upside-down thunder pool in the sky become even more violent.
I saw huge waves suddenly set off in the upside-down thunder pool. With a terrifying roar, countless figures rushed out of the huge waves, rushing towards the Xuan Yuan Dao below like heavenly soldiers and generals.
These "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" have both human and animal forms. Each one is wearing armor made of condensed thunder, and their majesty is no less powerful than that of the thunder dragon.
Moreover, it is said that these "celestial soldiers and generals" are called thunder spirits, and they are all transformed from the true spirits of those who failed to overcome the tribulation. While they were endowed with great power by the thunder pool, they also had incomparable resentment towards those who had overcome the calamity. Although they have long lost the memory of their lives, driven by the instinct of jealousy and resentment, they still have the will to prevent others from overcoming the disaster even if they are broken into pieces.
"Haha, they are just some chickens and dogs, and they dare to show off in front of me!" Facing the surging thunder spirit army, Xuan Yuan laughed twice, jumped up to meet it without fear, and instantly He rushed into the thousands of troops and horses.
Xuan Yuan Lao Dao rushed into the army of thunder spirits, and with a wave of his hand, a thunder spirit turned into nothingness. With a flick of his finger, a golden light penetrated thousands of thunder spirits, just like a man entering a colony of ants. Those majestic thunder spirits were originally feared by all cultivators, but now they are just like paper, and they are vulnerable in front of the old Taoist Xuan Yuan.
Elder Xuan Yuan stood in the air and suddenly took a deep breath forward. The thousands of thunderbolts in front of him suddenly turned into balls of thunder and were inhaled into his body along his nostrils. For a moment, Xuan Yuan's body emitted endless lightning, as if his skin, flesh, muscles and bones were about to turn into thunder.
"ha!"
A loud shout came from the mouth of the old Taoist Xuan Yuan. The invisible sound waves were transmitted into the Thunder Spirit army, and the traces of the sound waves were immediately highlighted by the twisted and collapsed body of the Thunder Spirit. In this sound wave, countless thunder spirits twisted and collapsed into clouds of mist-like thunder, which were then sucked into the abdomen by Xuan Yuan.
The thousands of troops and horses did not even stay in front of the old Taoist Xuan Yuan for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, they all became the tonic in his belly.
And just like that, the old Taoist Xuan Yuan was not satisfied, so he jumped up and flew up again, and suddenly rushed to the front of the thunder pool. The huge waves set off by the thunder pool were like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and were directly caught by Xuan Yuan's huge mouth.
Ye Zan was far away, staring blankly at the scene in the sky. The shock in his heart was simply unspeakable. In his eyes, the old Taoist Xuan Yuan who transformed into a giant clung to the edge of the thunder pool with both hands, raised his head and opened his mouth to catch the huge waves in the thunder pool, just like a man holding a wine jar and drinking heavily. He was truly heroic. Matched.
However, this situation did not last long.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear the insult, or perhaps because he knew that there was nothing he could do against Xuan Yuan, the thunder pool suddenly turned into nothingness without any warning. In an instant, the long-lasting thunder suddenly stopped, and there was no more thunder and lightning in the sky, as if everything before was just an illusion.
Perhaps for this thunder pond and this heavenly catastrophe, the Taoist Xuan Yuan is their catastrophe.
Old Daoist Xuan Yuan fell back to the ground, and his body returned to normal size, but his face still showed a bit of unfinished expression.
"Old Taoist, what's going on? How far have you recovered now?" Upon seeing this, Ye Zan hurried over and asked with curiosity and a bit of worry on his face. He still remembered that what the old Taoist Xuan Yuan shouted just now seemed to mean that he couldn't even reach the realm of heaven, so how could he realize his dream of being a salted fish
The old Taoist Xuan Yuan glared and said angrily: "What old Taoist? Call me master!"
"Uh, okay, master..." Ye Zan said helplessly. In fact, his relationship with Master Xuan Yuan was indeed a master-disciple relationship, and it was not just a show-off for Mo Rushi and the others. However, from the first time he met the old Taoist Xuan Yuan until he came to this world, Ye Zan had already been called "old Taoist" and it was easy to change.
Of course, Old Taoist Xuan Yuan didn't really care about such a title, he just made a joke out of excitement after finally reshaping his Dharmakaya.
"Well, Old Master, what's your situation now? From what you said before, it seems that this realm has not returned to the realm of earthly immortals?" Ye Zan turned the topic to the issue he was most concerned about.
Hearing Ye Zan's inquiry, the old Taoist Xuanyuan no longer cared about the title "Old Taoist Master". Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the sky helplessly, and said: "Yes, when I rebuilt the Dharmakaya before, I originally planned to use this big... The power of the formation restored the realm to the realm of earthly immortality in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, after reaching the realm of Dharma, I felt a huge resistance, as if the world no longer allowed the emergence of a new realm."
"Can't you even reach the Heaven-Connecting Realm?" Ye Zan couldn't help being surprised, but then he said rather doubtfully: "But, aren't there still a few Heaven-Connecting Supremes in the Shenhua Realm now? Although I don't I know about others, but at least Gouchen Zhizun of the Arctic Sword Sect is currently locked up in the Arctic Immortal Palace."
"What I'm saying is that we don't allow new Tongtian Realm to appear, just like we didn't allow new Earthly Immortals to appear ten thousand years ago. If there is another catastrophe in this realm at this time, all these Tongtian Realm juniors will perish. , I am afraid that this Heaven-reaching realm will become like an earthly immortal, an existence that is beyond the reach of all cultivators." Perhaps thinking of the catastrophe ten thousand years ago, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit sad in his tone. .
Although the old Taoist Xuan Yuan explained it very clearly, Ye Zan was even more confused and said quickly: "How could this be? Now that there is a spiritual rice produced by me in the Shenhua Domain, I should not be able to become a cultivator in terms of spiritual energy. It’s so shackles, why would this happen again?”
Ye Zan originally thought that the root cause of the overall decline of monastic civilization in this realm was probably the lack of spiritual energy. After all, no matter what realm you are in, this aura is the foundation. Just like the bricks, tiles and timber used to build a house, without these things, the house you design will not be built no matter how beautiful it is.
In today's Shenhua Realm, due to the development of monastic civilization, various resources have been developed to the point of exhaustion, and most of the aura between heaven and earth has become inert aura. The spiritual energy that was originally absorbed in one day of practice may now take dozens or hundreds of days to reach, so the progress of this practice is naturally not as good as before. As the progress of cultivation slows down, the height that can be achieved in the same time will naturally be different. In the past few decades, it was difficult to reach the Nascent Soul realm even in hundreds of years, and the subsequent realms were even worse.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that the lack of spiritual energy has led to the decline of monastic civilization.
The spiritual rice created by Ye Zan can convert inert spiritual energy into spiritual energy that can be absorbed by people. It can be said that it solves the problem of lack of spiritual energy to a certain extent. The most obvious thing is that spiritual rice has replaced the elixirs commonly used by people for cultivation, and is more effective than the best elixirs.
Some people may think that no matter how good this spiritual rice is, how much spiritual energy it can provide, and how much spiritual energy those powerful people need to advance. But the problem is that this spiritual rice is eaten as food. If you eat it three times a day, no matter how insignificant the spiritual energy is, it will be enough to gather sand into a tower over time.
And, more importantly, during the growth process of this spiritual rice, it will also transform and release the inert spiritual energy. Just like plants that modify the environment, one or two plants may have very little impact on the environment, but after large-scale planting of spiritual rice, the role of hundreds of millions of spiritual rice cannot be ignored.
It can be said that as long as this spiritual rice continues to be planted, although the non-renewable resources in the Shenhua Realm cannot be restored, the monastic environment of the entire realm will definitely be greatly improved.
But now, from Xuan Yuan's words, Ye Zan heard that things seemed not as optimistic as he thought. It turns out that what determines monastic civilization is not just aura, but also seems to depend on the will of heaven and earth.
"Master Taoist, you said before that the fortune of this world has changed. Does that mean this realm still has fortune?" Through the words of Taoist Xuanyuan, Ye Zan thought of a key point in the other party's words before, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Haha," Old Taoist Xuan Yuan chuckled twice, nodded and said: "Everything in this world has its destiny as long as it exists. When the destiny is strong, disasters will never be extinguished. When the destiny is defeated, disasters will spread to the sky. The ancient battle between immortals and demons, The fate of the great world was damaged, and it collapsed into many realms. Since the moment of division, this realm has had its own fate, and naturally has its own ups and downs. "
Luck is a mysterious thing. Sometimes it is a cause and sometimes it is an effect. It is difficult for anyone to really explain it clearly.
Perhaps we can understand the destiny of a world this way: in the same situation where disasters are everywhere, if the destiny of the world is strong, a savior will emerge, and if the destiny of the world declines, we can only wait for the destruction of the world to come. Putting it here in the Shenhua Realm, it may be understood that when the luck is strong, there is no fear of you being able to reach the sky. When the luck is declining, it cannot withstand the torment, and no existence that can affect it is allowed to appear.
"So how are you now? Do you just have the Dharma Realm?" What Ye Zan is most concerned about is of course the strength of Xuan Yuan Dao. After all, it is related to whether he can be a salted fish with peace of mind.
"If we talk about the realm, perhaps it is true that we can only reach the realm of Dharma. Even if we use the power of heavenly tribulation to make up for the losses, it will be limited by the luck of this realm and it will be difficult to take one more step. However, I, the old Taoist, am the Earth Immortal Taoist. Even the little magic power of this Dharma Realm is enough to protect you in this world." Xuan Yuan knew what Ye Zan was worried about, so he said quite confidently.
Xuan Yuanlao's words are not bragging. After all, the difference between Dharma and Tongtian does not lie in the amount of magic power, but in the mastery of the Dao. The old Taoist Xuan Yuan was originally the Earth Immortal Taoist, and that drop of essence and blood contained the complete essence of the Tao. In terms of his mastery of the Tao, even the Supreme Master Tongtian could not match him.
In fact, it can be said that the realm of Xuan Yuan Lao Dao is definitely still the realm of the Earth Immortal Taoist Ancestor, but this cultivation level is only at the peak of the Dharma Realm. If the old Taoist Xuan Yuan were to be replaced in a world where luck was flourishing, he might be able to return to his former peak in minutes.
However, after all, Ye Zan is only in the Nascent Soul realm and doesn't know much about the mystery behind it. Therefore, after hearing what Xuan Yuan said, although he didn't say much, his eyes were still full of worry and suspicion.
Old Taoist Xuan Yuan glanced at Ye Zan, saw the suspicion in Ye Zan's heart, and immediately snorted with dissatisfaction: "Humph, what, you doubt that I am bragging?"
Ye Zan, who had his mind read through, was not at all embarrassed. He just waved his hand and said, "Ha, how could it be! I just thought of what you said to me before coming to this world, and what happened after coming to this world. Faced with the reality, I can’t help but feel a little emotional.”
Ye Zan's words were really not polite at all, he directly revealed the old accounts from before. When he first came to this world, Taoist Xuan Yuan drew a big cake for Ye Zan, making it sound like Ye Zan didn't have to worry about anything after he came. But the reality is that the essence and blood to reshape the Dharmakaya cannot be found, and the Yuqing Sect has become a third-rate small sect. Ye Zan has really not been idle in the past few years.
"It was just an accident before. Now that I have rebuilt the Dharmakaya, I will naturally do what I say." Xuan Yuan defended with a slightly embarrassed expression.
However, Ye Zan just nodded after hearing this excuse, but his face was still full of disbelief.
"Okay, in that case, I'll let you see if I'm bragging." Having said this, Old Taoist Xuan Yuan looked up at the sky in displeasure, rubbed his hands and said, "Just in time, some juniors are coming outside. , Although there is a suspicion that the big one is bullying the small ones, I am only at the Dharma Realm level now, so I can’t really bully them. You can watch carefully below.”
After saying this, Old Daoist Xuan Yuan raised his hand and touched the sky, then jumped into the sky and flew up.
With this touch of Xuan Yuan, the scene in the sky changed, revealing the scene outside the formation. Only then did Ye Zan realize that many figures had gathered outside Tongtian Peak. Although many of them were unknown to him, some of them looked familiar, such as the Taoist Lord Linghua.
Besides, outside Tongtian Peak, the avatars of those powerful people thought that the vision meant that the formation of Tongtian Peak had changed. Thinking that this was once the Jade Qing Sect's dojo thousands of years ago, and that there were countless inheritances and rare treasures preserved in it, everyone couldn't help but feel greedy in their hearts.
In fact, this is not surprising. These great powers have not taken a step forward in their respective realms for a long time. They are not like the old Taoist Xuan Yuan, who swears that this is actually a shackles of heaven and earth, and they only think that it is difficult to make progress before the opportunity comes. Therefore, for them, the current changes in Tongtian Peak are probably an opportunity for them, and naturally they do not want to miss it.
