Chapter 295 Seeking a Place to Weather Tribulation

Chapter 295 Seeking a Place to Weather Tribulation

Several days later, Qin Ming returned to Moon Gazing Island.

The first thing he did upon returning was to cast the Great Five Elements Art to bring down Spirit Rain upon the Spirit Plant Cultivation.

Afterward, he arrived at the Mysterious Water Crocodile's Cave.

Qin Ming sensed the aura of the sleeping Mysterious Water Crocodile, which seemed to have reached the verge of breakthrough.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Second needs to brew for so long to advance to the Third Stage Realm."

"Back when I was in my prime, after sleeping for half a year, I welcomed the Thunder Tribulation."

"I think this kid is a bit mysterious!"

The Devouring Heaven Rat commented from the side.

Qin Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had spent no small amount of Resources to nurture these two Spirit Pets.

Even those Second Tier Spirit Materials and Third Rank Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit that were rarely seen outside were practically given to them as meals, and even Golden Cores of Core Formation Stage Cultivators were fed to them.

If they still couldn't break through, wouldn't he be at a great loss?

"I think you still aren't doing enough work, huh? You still have the energy to talk idly here."

Qin Ming abruptly kicked the Devouring Heaven Rat.

"Uh-heh, I see that Second and Third have superior Aptitude, breaking through to Tier 3 is just a matter of course! A certainty! They have great prospects! Great prospects!"

It rubbed its butt, then chuckled dryly, immediately changing its tune.

Qin Ming stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. He didn't plan to let the Mysterious Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee break through on Moon Gazing Island.

Otherwise, having two Tier 3 Demon Kings break through here consecutively would truly be quite shocking.

Wouldn't that cause another sensation throughout the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World? He was already famous enough now and didn't want to be pushed to the forefront again.

If this continued, perhaps those Great Sects would become restless.

"The breakthroughs of the Mysterious Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee are also imminent."

"I have to find a place for them to weather the Lightning Tribulation."

Immediately, Qin Ming thought of something and turned to ask the Devouring Heaven Rat, "Where in the Beast Cry Mountain Range did you break through back then?"

"Heh heh heh, don't I have the Treasure Hunting Bloodline physique? Finding a Tier 3 Spirit Vein is just a piece of cake."

"Only I know about that place."

As the Devouring Heaven Rat spoke, it immediately understood something and asked, "Could it be that Master is planning to have Second and Third go to the Beast Cry Mountain Range to break through?"

"Exactly." Qin Ming nodded in affirmation.

The Devouring Heaven Rat's eyes darted around, and it thought for a moment, then said, "Then naturally there's no problem."

"There just happens to be a Tier 3 Spirit Vein in my Base that can be used for their breakthrough."

While waiting, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ming was Cultivating in his Cave Residence when his heart stirred, and a message from the Mysterious Water Crocodile suddenly arrived, indicating that it was ready to break through to Tier 3.

"Finally about to reach this step, huh?"

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Qin Ming slowly opened his dark eyes and said calmly.

He ended his Cultivation and got up to walk outside, only to see the Mysterious Water Crocodile already waiting outside, its aura already solidified at the Second Rank Peak Apex, approaching Tier 3.

Now, it was only one last step away from breaking through to become a Tier 3 Demon King.

"Good! My painstaking efforts in nurturing you haven't been in vain."

Qin Ming immediately took the Mysterious Water Crocodile into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

Just then.

The Silver-Winged Frost Bee also flew out from the Beehive. After devouring the Golden Core, its aura had also climbed to the edge of breakthrough, and it also sent a message to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's face lit up with joy, and he immediately brought it along as well.

Afterward.

His intention communicated with his Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine.

In the next moment, the towering black Giant Wood instantly transformed into a mass of dark ink, winding around his arm.

Having done all this.

Qin Ming then came to the Spirit Field and used a Ripening Entry that had just refreshed, Force-Ripening the dozen or so Tier 3 Jade Emperor Spirit Rice plants.

He planned to Force-Ripen this Spirit Plant to obtain the Spirit Seed and take it away.

In an instant.

The dozen or so emerald green Jade Emperor Spirit Rice plants, as tall as Bamboo, grew taller section by section, emitting a unique aroma of Spirit Rice.

Qin Ming walked over and knocked on one of the Jade Bamboo stalks, and the sound of Spirit Rice rolling inside immediately came out.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Looks like they're ripe."

A wisp of Crimson Protective Qi emerged in his hand, cutting a slit in the jade-colored Bamboo stalk.

Whoosh! Spirit Qi overflowed, and a small pile of jade-like Spirit Rice rolled out of the opening. The Jade Emperor Spirit Rice grains were twice as large as ordinary Spirit Rice.

Crystal clear and translucent, like grains of jade.

Qin Ming immediately took out a Jade Box and collected these precious Tier 3 Spirit Rice.

Next.

He followed the same method, cutting open the remaining dozen or so Spirit Rice plants and harvesting the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice inside.

After Qin Ming harvested these Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, he discovered that the yield of this Spirit Rice was extremely limited. After processing these dozen or so Spirit Plants, he only produced less than two Jin of Spirit Rice in total, barely enough for him to eat for one or two meals. "It's also reasonable, after all, the higher the grade of something, the scarcer the Quantity."

However, after storing these Spirit Rice Seeds, he would be able to plant a sufficient Quantity of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice in the future.

Enough to supply his daily Cultivation needs in the Core Formation Stage.

Having done all this, Qin Ming summoned Wu Jiang over.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I plan to Travel for a while recently, maybe for a few years, or maybe even more than a decade."

"During the time I'm away, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the Spirit Island."

"If there are any problems that cannot be resolved, you can feel free to find Daoist Friend Nalan Xi of Azure Sea Immortal City. I will make arrangements with her."

Wu Jiang was also stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but he also understood that Island Lord Qin's Cultivation had reached the Core Formation Stage, and the world was vast for him to explore.

He was certainly going out to Travel and seek higher Fated Chances.

"Island Lord, please Rest Assured, I will handle everything on the island properly."

"When you return, the Spirit Island will only be developed even better."

"With your words, I am relieved." Qin Ming nodded, then took out two Jade Bottles of Pills and handed them to him.

"Here are two bottles of Vitality Enhancing Pills, which will help you improve your Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation."

"Although you are quite old, you shouldn't stop here. If possible, you can try to break through to the later Realms."

Wu Jiang tremblingly accepted the Pills with both hands, "Thank you, Island Lord, for bestowing Pills. I will remember the Island Lord's teachings and strive to break through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Yes, there's nothing else, you can go about your business."

"Yes!"

…Qin Ming flew up into the Sky Above the Spirit Island and looked around Moon Gazing Island.

"Unknowingly, I didn't expect to have Cultivated and lived on this Island for more than sixty years."

"Time flies."

Then, he transformed into an azure rainbow and flew out of the Island.

More than half an hour later.

Qin Ming arrived at Azure Sea Immortal City.

The guards at the Entrance saw a Golden Core True Person descend, and it was Perfected Person Wangyue, and they immediately excitedly opened the Defensive Formation and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Perfected Person Wangyue!"

The Cultivators coming and going at the City Gate also saw the legendary figure and couldn't help but reveal expressions of worship and awe.

Qin Ming nodded slightly in response, then entered Azure Sea Immortal City and went straight to Azure Sea Main Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Qin has come from afar without even notifying me in advance." Nalan Xi flew out from the Main Peak to greet him.

Qin Ming wore a faint smile on his face, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin has some matters to ask Daoist Friend Nalan for help with, so I came in haste."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Qin, please come inside to talk." Nalan Xi was also quite surprised, not expecting there to be a time when Qin Ming would need her help.

But she was eager for such an opportunity. To have this dual Grandmaster owe her a Favor was a surefire profit.

"No need, I am preparing to Travel for a while. Although Wu Jiang is managing Moon Gazing Island for me, there are some things he cannot handle, so I would like to ask Daoist Friend Nalan to take care of them for me."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he took out a Jade Bottle and handed it to her.

"Here is a Dust Vanquishing Pill, consider it Fellow Daoist Qin's reward for entrusting Daoist Friend Nalan, haha."

Nalan Xi was moved by the Dust Vanquishing Pill, but she still said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you are being too polite."

"It's just a small matter, I will definitely take care of it for you, as for such a generous gift, it's not necessary."

Qin Ming still insisted, "I am going on a long journey, and I don't know when I will return, Daoist Friend Nalan, please don't refuse."

Seeing him say this.

Nalan Xi hesitated for a moment before accepting the Jade Bottle, and then clasped her fist at Qin Ming and said, "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin."

"Speaking of which, if I weren't tied down by the affairs within the Immortal City and unable to leave for a moment, I would also like to Travel like Fellow Daoist Qin."

"Even go to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty to seek the Nascent Soul Opportunity."

"Sometimes, being in such a Position, even if one's Cultivation has reached this point, one is still involuntarily constrained!"

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Qin an Eternal Immortal Path, and hope that when I see Fellow Daoist Qin again next time, your Cultivation will have greatly advanced once more."

Qin Ming smiled slightly and also cupped his hands, saying to Nalan Xi, "Then thank you for Daoist Friend Nalan's kind words."

Afterward, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Nalan Xi, bid farewell, and left Azure Sea Immortal City.

…

After Qin Ming left the Immortal City, he flew towards the Beast Cry Mountain Range.

"Devouring Heaven Rat, are you sure you didn't get the direction wrong?"

The Devouring Heaven Rat's voice came from the Spirit Beast Pouch, "Rest Assured, Master, absolutely not wrong."

"The concealment of my Base is very good, hehe!"

The Beast Cry Mountain Range was boundless and vast, deserving the name of a hundred thousand Mountains.

Next, Qin Ming entered the depths of the Beast Cry Mountain Range, following the Devouring Heaven Rat's directions.

Half a day later.

Qin Ming passed through a miasma-filled mountain stream and arrived in front of a Valley blessed with Spirit Qi.

"It's here!"

Qin Ming released the Devouring Heaven Rat, which ran ahead, leading Qin Ming into the Valley.

The moment he stepped in, he could clearly feel the rich Spirit Qi rushing towards him.

"It really is a Tier 3 Low Grade Spirit Vein."

"It should be enough for the Mysterious Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee to break through."

The Devouring Heaven Rat was familiar with the path, leading Qin Ming to a Waterfall thousands of feet high.

Pointing to behind the Waterfall, it said, "Master, behind that is originally my Cultivation place."

"Hmm, not bad, didn't expect you to be quite good at enjoying life, huh? A Waterfall Cave?" Qin Ming nodded, looking at the magnificent and strange scenery in the Valley.

The Devouring Heaven Rat said modestly, "Cough! All humble abodes, humble abodes only."

Afterward, Qin Ming released the Mysterious Water Crocodile.

The moment its enormous body appeared, it sensed the Spirit Qi in the outside world.

The Mysterious Water Crocodile glanced back at Qin Ming, immediately signaling that it was ready to break through immediately.

Qin Ming nodded, and taking the Devouring Heaven Rat, moved away from the Valley, quietly observing the Mysterious Water Crocodile from a distance.

Two days later.

A black Spiritual Energy Vortex, shaped like a funnel, frantically surged and gathered in the Sky Above the Gorge, pouring into the Mysterious Water Crocodile in the center of the Valley.

Several days later.

The Spirit Qi rosy clouds in the Sky expanded to a ten-mile Range, almost enveloping the entire Gorge.

Boom! Suddenly.

The Spirit Qi in the entire Valley was instantly sucked dry, all pouring into the Mysterious Water Crocodile's body.

An aura belonging to a Tier 3 Demon King spread out from its body, causing the surrounding Low Rank Demonic Beasts to tremble and freeze in place.

"Here it comes, the most crucial step!"

The Devouring Heaven Rat watched from the outer perimeter, secretly sweating for the Mysterious Water Crocodile.

Rumble! Accompanied by a soul-stirring thunderous sound, a dark Tribulation Cloud instantly twisted and formed in the Sky Above the Valley.

An aura of destroying Heaven and Earth was brewing and surging from the Cloud Layer.

The Demonic Beast's Tier 3 Thunder Tribulation is the most difficult hurdle to overcome, and the power of the Lightning Tribulation is also terrifyingly powerful.

Among Demonic Beasts that can overcome this Heavenly Punishment and transform into Demon Kings, less than one in ten succeed.

The Mysterious Water Crocodile looked up at the Sky, a firm belief emanating from its Vertical Pupils! Boom! Crack! A thick purple Lightning Pillar, flashing with countless Electric Arcs, crossed the distance between Heaven and Earth and instantly struck the Mysterious Water Crocodile's body.

A layer of blue Electric Rays flashed across the Mysterious Water Crocodile's Scale Armor, coursing through its entire body.

It used its incomparably hard armor to withstand this Lightning Tribulation head-on.

Even so, the Mysterious Water Crocodile's body was still blasted open and torn, continuously oozing Fresh Blood.

"No way? This is so fierce?"

Qin Ming, watching from afar, also raised an eyebrow.

He didn't expect the Lightning Tribulation for a Demonic Beast breaking through to Demon King to be so terrifying, almost half as powerful as his own Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation back then.

Boom, crack, crack! The Tribulation Lightning in the Sky continuously fell, and a terrifying Celestial Phenomenon descended upon the Beast Cry Mountain Range.
