Chapter 288: Take the blame
Boom!
There was a loud noise in the sky, and the roar of thunder had been heard. Endless avenue true rhyme gathered towards Nanfu Island, covering the entire sky of Nanfu Island, and the breath of the avenues fell down.
"Who breaks through the barrier... at this juncture!"
"Don't worry, go quickly, stay here, everyone will die!"
"Yes, the valley is narrow, everyone's thunder tribulation will be superimposed on each other, even if the real immortal comes, they can't stand it!"
Everyone shouted, even the gray giant eagle was not taken care of, and turned to escape.
There is only one way to die if you stay!
"Who the hell is trapping this place with a big formation?!"
But everyone was shocked when they felt the magic formation that had been activated outside the valley!
These formations were not valued by them on normal days, and at most they would spend a little time to break them, but now at the critical moment, the thunder will soon fall, and they can't afford to delay at all.
"It's the Dao Sect's formation!"
"Aren't the Dao Sect's people too sinister!?"
"Daoist friends of the Dao Sect, the people of the Five Elements Sect who robbed your gray giant lizard, please let us go!"
Everyone shouted while bombarding the formation frantically.
In the outside world, Song Wujing's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go to hell!"
Release the formation? Impossible!
Once it is released, the gray giant eagle will also run away. At that time, he really can't find his mother.
Besides, he finally has the opportunity to take over Nanfu Island, how can he miss it!
He personally took action and presided over the formation!
"No... Kill the person who broke through the barrier, so as to avoid the thunder from falling!"
Some people reacted, swept their spiritual sense, and finally found Li An's retreat place, which was inside a cliff in the valley, but they wanted to get close, and there was also a formation activated outside Li An's retreat place, which was self-protected.
At the same time, the gray giant eagle seemed to be crazy, attacking everyone frantically, involving a lot of their energy. In the cave.
Li An swallowed countless Dao rhymes, and his Nascent Soul walked out of the Purple Mansion, glowing all over-
Pah!
A sound that broke through the void sounded, and thick blue arcs of electricity, like countless huge demon pythons, fell from the sky and fell into the valley.
The power of the heavenly tribulation blasted through the cliffs where Li An was in retreat, and the protective formations collapsed like a rotten wood, and the other people in the valley were also covered by the heavenly tribulation-
The space was too small, and there was no room for dodging.
Boom boom boom!
As if sensing the existence of others, as if provoked, at this moment the sea of thunder in the sky suddenly changed violently, the roar of thunder, the roar sounded wildly, and then, one layer, two layers... dozens of layers of thunder sea fell together!
"Damn it!"
"It's over!"
"You beasts of Dao Sect, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"
The three Qin brothers, the geniuses of the Sun and Moon Sect, and even the Tianjue of the Brahma Sect, all uttered a curse word at this moment, and then their bodies were covered with golden light, ready to welcome the impact of the thunder.
Bang, bang, bang!
The thunder fell, and the whole valley exploded directly, and the thunder and fire ignited and spread rapidly.
"No, my heavenly tribulation should not be so terrifying..."
"There is a problem, this thunder tribulation is wrong, even if we go through the tribulation together, it should not attract such a strong heavenly tribulation..."
"Why do I feel that there is a heavenly tribulation of the Mahayana stage in this heavenly tribulation? How is this possible? Is there a Mahayana master sneaking in?!"
Facing the heavenly tribulation, many geniuses were a little shocked.
They have all gone through the tribulation and are very familiar with it.
At this moment, the sea of thunder is not only a superposition of quantity, but also a qualitative change. There is a terrifying thunder tribulation, which seems to be comparable to the Mahayana period...
This is despairing!
"Is it because of the strange creatures of the Hedao level?"
Some people speculated.
"So terrifying..."
Outside the valley, Song Wujing felt this terrifying fluctuation and his face changed drastically. He hurriedly retreated and finally withdrew directly from Nanfu Island and stood in the void before stopping.
"So many people's superimposed thunder, and the existence of strange creatures of the Hedao level... The thunder is unimaginable. Maybe everyone will die!"
He was terrified.
...
In the valley.
The heroes wailed, the thunder rolled, and the most terrifying one was coming towards Li An's retreat.
Li An opened his eyes, his expression was very solemn.
Using many geniuses and strange creatures as a cover, no one knew that this terrifying thunder was caused by him!
The reason why he set up this plan was not only to help Song Wujing take over Nanfu Island and kill these geniuses, but also because he would be amazing when he broke through the barrier!
A great man who has achieved the Dao cannot hide his movements. As long as people see his thunder tribulation, they will know that he is definitely one of the top geniuses in the world.
He didn't want to expose himself yet.
Therefore, it was normal for everyone to go through the tribulation together, including a strange creature, and the thunder tribulation was huge.
In a flash of his mind, the thunder tribulation had already descended on him, and he actually drove the Nascent Soul, took the initiative to meet the thick lightning, and opened his mouth to swallow the lightning into his stomach!
The yin of the Nascent Soul and the yang of the Heavenly Dao, the combination of yin and yang is the Dao.
After the Dao is combined, the Nascent Soul will gather the Yuan Ling, the three souls and seven spirits, and transform into a "Primordial Spirit" close to the Dao.
The Nascent Soul actively swallowed the thunder tribulation, and at the same time, the life seed was also running wildly, and the power of the thunder tribulation continued to flow into the life seed.
Pa pa pa!
The thunder tribulation became more and more dense and violent. The first level of Li An's Nascent Soul and Life Seed could barely hold on. When the second level came, his whole body was cracked, blood kept pouring out, and his bones were all charred.
This was not only his thunder tribulation, but also the power of other people's thunder tribulation. The superposition of each other was simply exponentially increasing!
When ordinary people break through the Hedao, they usually only have six levels of heavenly thunder. If it is a weak person like Chen Ning, there may even be only four or five.
But geniuses like the Qin brothers and Tianjue have as many as nine or ten.
When Li An broke through the Lianxu, he used the Heavenly Thunder Stone to attract nine heavenly thunders. He estimated that when he broke through the Hedao, it would probably not be less than thirty heavenly thunders.
Adding the thunders transmitted by others, he might have to endure more than a hundred heavenly thunders.
Similarly, other geniuses are about the same.
So, why are others desperate? The number has increased dramatically!
Li An dared to do this, and his biggest reliance was naturally the Life Seed.
After swallowing the heavenly thunder last time, the life seed has adapted to the thunder tribulation, and the damage of the thunder tribulation to him has been weakened to a certain extent. On the contrary, the life seed can also swallow the power of the thunder tribulation. For him, as long as it does not exceed a certain limit, the more the better.
…
"Ah!"
Qin Fen screamed miserably. He tried his best and consumed all the pills on his body. He survived the tenth heavenly thunder and his whole body was burnt black. But at a glance, there were three or five more falling and sweeping. There was nowhere to escape. He was really desperate!
"Those who break through the barrier will be sent to the Avici Hell!"
The Tianjue of the Brahma Sect, a young monk, had his cassock torn and his bald head torn apart. He was like a living ghost crawling out of a grave, cursing loudly.
"You actually used this method of destroying everything..."
A genius girl of the Sun and Moon Sect, her beauty was completely destroyed, and her body was blown apart by a thick heavenly thunder!
The gray giant eagle of the Hedao level was wailing even more at this moment. The suppression of the heavenly thunder was very terrible. Under the purest and most yang thunder tribulation, the strange aura was also destroyed.
…
In the cave.
Li An began to welcome his thirteenth thunder tribulation!
The flesh on his body had been burned dry, and it seemed that only the skeleton was left, and there was thunder and fire on his body.
But this time, his life seed had not been burned until now, and was still absorbing the power of thunder and lightning.
The alien species and the strange fetus planted by Madam Yi were covered and protected by his life seed, and were not killed by the thunder.
His Nascent Soul was also torn into pieces many times, but they were all reunited under the nourishment of fate. A large amount of heavenly thunder power was integrated into the Nascent Soul, making the Nascent Soul gradually deified...
"Many people outside have died..."
In addition to fighting against his own heavenly thunder, he was also paying attention to other people.
These people are also very important to him!
After the thirteenth thunder tribulation, he frantically urged his life seed to revive his flesh and blood, and then took a step out, took the initiative to leave the retreat and enter the field.
There were only five people left in the field!
Among the three Qin brothers, Qin Fen has died, Qin Yuan and Qin Dao are still struggling, the Tianjue of the Brahma Sect has only half of his body left, and a talented woman from the Taiqing Sect is glowing all over, with extraordinary blood...
But they have all reached the end of their rope, and one or two of them have even used the death talisman.
The gray giant eagle has not yet completely died out.
Li An is extremely fast. He flashed past these people and directly attacked, killing them one by one!
These people are all geniuses of the Hedao, but now they have no power to resist.
"The useless wood of the Dao Sect..."
Qin Dao saw Li An and his eyes widened. He could never have thought that he would die in the hands of such a person...
"How can you still move..."
The proud daughter of the Taiqing Sect was also full of shock in her eyes, and was beheaded by Li An!
Then, Li An quickly collected their bodies-
If they all died in the heavenly tribulation, their flesh and blood would be reduced to ashes under the thunder, and there would be no way to leave them for Madam Yi.
...
This thunderstorm lasted for three days and three nights!
People from all the major forces came, but no one dared to approach Nanfu Island, it was too dangerous.
"No one should be able to survive."
"Alas, with such a thunderstorm, the three geniuses of our sect are afraid that they are in danger..."
"Even the Heavenly Awakener can't stop it, only the Arhat can survive!"
Everyone shook their heads.
...
At this moment, the thunder in the valley continued!
"Thirty-three layers!"
Li An's Nascent Soul bathed in the last thunderstorm, colorful and full of divinity. Under this last thunderstorm, Li An's flesh and blood regenerated, and his bones were reshaped. It was another new transformation.
His blood and qi were extremely strong, like a prehistoric giant beast.
"My bloodline now is probably ten times better than Song Wujing's!"
Li An was extremely satisfied. Nourished by the life seed and tempered by the thunder, he was reborn twice. The divine substance in his blood became more and more rich, and his bones seemed to have turned into white jade without any flaws.
The whole body was surrounded by the Dao rhyme, and every move was like a banished immortal from the world.
Now Li An is definitely a treasure body!
Moreover, it was purely cultivated by himself.
With the combination of endless Dao rhyme, the Nascent Soul has turned into the Yuanshen and returned directly to his Lingtai, not the Purple Mansion!
The Purple Mansion, as the temporary residence of the Nascent Soul, is no longer seen.
The Yuanshen, based on the Nascent Soul, the three souls, seven spirits, and Yuanling are all integrated into it. After being baptized by the thunder, it is connected to the Great Dao. Once the Yuanshen comes out, the magic power is infinite!
The cultivation of the Yuanshen is the key feature of becoming a great power of Hedao, and it is also the fundamental thing for cultivation from now on.
It is precisely because of the specialness of the Yuanshen that Hedao is regarded as a watershed in the road of cultivation.
Only with the Yuanshen can one sense the location of the Great Dao, and absorb the "Power of the Great Dao" from the creation and the Great Dao, and enter a brand new world.
A trace of Dao power is better than thousands of spiritual powers!
The great powers of Hedao have higher requirements for the place of cultivation. It is not enough to have a high level of spiritual veins. It needs a place with strong creation power and sufficient natural Dao rhyme to be a "blessed land" for the great powers to cultivate.
The 108 main peaks of Dao Sect are all such blessed lands.
Above the blessed land, there is also a "cave heaven", which is a higher level. It is said that it contains immortals. Even in Dao Sect, there are not many "cave heavens", and only Taifang can touch them.
...
Now, Li An can be called a "great power".
Even in the golden age, the great power is still among the masters in the world.
Moreover, Li An's Yuanshen is even more peculiar, emitting divine light all over his body, which is several times better than a genius like Song Wujing.
This is the benefit of undergoing enough baptisms of heavenly thunder!
His use and induction of the power of the Great Dao are far beyond that of ordinary people!
General geniuses are not good enough for Li An. He even wondered in his heart whether he could now stand shoulder to shoulder with real Great Dao geniuses like Yun Qian?
…
Becoming a great power, in addition to the qualitative change from Nascent Soul to Primordial Spirit, the progress in other aspects is also huge.
In terms of life span, he directly increased by 5,000 years!
Now the upper limit of Li An's life span is almost 15,000 years.
It means that he only needs to enter the Mahayana stage before 7,500 years old.
And the general great power of Hedao, even if it is a cultivator who practices wood-based exercises and is known for his longevity, can't live more than 10,000 years, and generally only 7,000 to 8,000 years.
Li An is now 1,653 years old. Among the Hedao cultivators of Dao Sect, he is considered old, but considering his life span, he can be said to be still very young.
The sense of spiritual consciousness has leaped forward, and the soul can sense deeper and more subtle things, and the range has expanded to tens of millions of miles. Now, with a sweep of Li An, the area like the Emperor Yuan Realm can be seen clearly.
"The initial formation of the soul is called the integration of the Tao, the soul out of the body is the Mahayana, and the soul after the disaster is called the tribulation!"
Li An whispered.
In the stage of integration of the Tao, it is necessary to continuously absorb the power of the Tao between heaven and earth. When the power of the Tao is powerful enough to carry the soul out of the body, separate from the body, and travel freely, it will reach the next stage-Mahayana.
The so-called Mahayana is to control the Tao and walk freely.
The soul is out of the body and wanders freely between heaven and earth, and explores the immortal opportunities between heaven and earth to achieve further transformation, until the soul is watched by the creation, and the three disasters and six tribulations are brought down, and then it enters the tribulation period. If you can pass it, you will become an immortal, and if you can't endure it, you will turn into a grain of dust.
The road to immortal cultivation can be roughly divided into three stages before becoming an immortal. The first stage is refining qi, building foundation, and forming elixir. The second stage is (purple mansion), Yuanying, refining emptiness, and the third stage is Hedao, Mahayana, and overcoming tribulations.
He has reached the last stage of the road.
"...Master once said that after entering Hedao, the life-nourishing immortal art will be more effective. I wonder where it should be?"
He remembered some of the words that Fairy Zi said at the beginning, and immediately sensed it, but felt that the aura of the Great Dao on this Nanfu Island was chaotic, and it was not a blessed land. It was really difficult to absorb the power of the Great Dao from it.
He was not in a hurry, but stood up and looked at the sky.
At this moment, there were still a few thunders falling.
These thunders were no longer his, but were aimed at the gray giant eagle.
--Li An put the gray giant eagle next to him and shielded it with his body to attract the thunder.
Li An, who had already completed the integration of the Dao, took a step forward and took the initiative to grab the thunder with his big hand, forcibly leaving it.
Boom!
The thunder exploded in his hand, fiercely. Even though Li An was already a great man, his hands were still bleeding and his bones were exposed. The target of the thunder was the gray giant eagle, but Li An trapped the thunder.
He was fighting with the thunder.
He did not absorb the power of the thunder, but simply wanted to control it.
It was very difficult!
Not far away, the gray giant eagle trembled in fear. It was on the verge of death. As long as the thunder fell again, it would be wiped out.
It was all thanks to Li An's blocking.
Li An used his body as a formation to block the thunder, while
Pay attention to the sky.
He is waiting, waiting for the heavenly tribulation to end!
By then, if this heavenly thunder still remains, then... his idea may succeed.
Li An's flesh and blood kept exploding, and he persisted for four hours.
Finally, when the sky gradually darkened, the sky slowly returned to calm, as if fate had also gotten tired of playing this boring game with Li An.
The heavenly tribulation...
It's over!
"The heavenly thunder remains, I succeeded?!"
Li An looked at the thunder in front of him, and was extremely excited. He directly opened the fairy coffin, put the gray giant eagle in it, and then stopped blocking it, and the thunder did not enter the fairy coffin.
Then, he released the gray giant eagle again, closed the fairy coffin, and threw it hundreds of miles away, observing the situation in the sky, ready to escape at any time.
Fortunately, there was no movement for a long time.
He then picked up the fairy coffin.
"Harvest a thunder!"
Li An was overjoyed.
This was exactly his goal. The power of the sky thunder is extremely great, and it can restrain evil things, souls, evil spirits and even strange spirits!
With this thing, he has one more trump card.
"This thing can definitely threaten Madam Yi's soul!"
Li An murmured.
He collected the sky thunder, and his main goal was actually... Madam Yi.
According to his expectation, if everything went well, he could finally trick Madam Yi into taking the path of "flesh and blood reconstruction". At that time, Madam Yi's old body would perish, and only a pure thought would remain...
If he couldn't beat her, could he not destroy her last remnant thought?
...To be honest, Li An felt that he might not be able to destroy it.
That's why Li An took the risk and set his sights on the sky thunder.
With the sky thunder, he would have a better chance of attacking her in the future!
"People from the outside world should come..."
Li An returned to the cave, thought for a while, and directly shook his life seed to kill the dying gray giant eagle!
This gray giant eagle is of no use to him now. "After the life seed absorbed the power of many heavenly tribulations, the effect of restraining the strange air became stronger and stronger..."
Li An was very satisfied.
After cleaning the body of the gray giant eagle, he took out two death-substitute talismans and crushed them directly!
One was given to him by Gui Changshou that year.
The other was obtained from Song Wujing.
Both jade talismans are very precious and can be called treasures.
But Li An still used them, for no other reason, as a cover-up!
Everyone died, how could Li An survive?
This requires a suitable reason.
And the two death-substitute talismans are his reason!
Compared to the gains of his tribulation this time, he didn't feel at a loss after using the two death-substitute talismans.
At the same time, he concealed his own aura, thought about it, and did some tricks on his soul, making his soul look sickly, even incomplete!
Well, he tried his best and used up two death-substitute charms. Although the Hedao was successful, his soul was missing... In this way, no one would doubt him anymore.
Li An immediately pretended to be unconscious and waited.
That night.
Long after the heavenly tribulation ended, the troops of major forces finally entered Nanfu Island.
Everyone arrived at the valley as soon as possible.
"What a terrible thunder tribulation..."
"This kind of fluctuation can almost be compared with the thunder tribulation of the Mahayana period, right?"
"Unbelievable!"
Everyone was shocked. After checking, they soon found Li An who was unconscious in the retreat place-
"This person is not dead?"
"Is it because he broke through the Hedao and attracted the heavenly tribulation?"
"Well, there is the breath of death-substitute charms around... Moreover, there is more than one. This person used two death-substitute charms? Really generous, and his soul seems to have problems."
Among the people who came, there were two Mahayana period masters. After a brief search, they had already found all kinds of clues.
They woke Li An up. "Fellow Daoist, what happened?"
These two Mahayana-level people, from the Sun and Moon Sect and the Five Elements Sect, were quite polite to Li An - after all, there was an elder jade card next to Li An!
This proved that Li An had a very noble status in and outside the Dao Sect, and was ranked as an elder!
Otherwise, in terms of strength, Li An would have to call them "seniors".
"Song Wujing and I made a plan to use the thunder tribulation to kill the gray giant eagle, but we didn't expect that geniuses from other forces also came. I couldn't stop my breakthrough, but instead attracted disaster. They all died, all died..."
Li An opened his mouth and sighed: "I used the death talisman, although I barely survived, the good fortune was incomplete, and my soul was missing, missing!"
The two Mahayana-level people looked at each other and nodded to each other. Li An's words should basically be fine.
They asked some more details.
"Hmph, it seems that Song Wujing is the one who is causing trouble. With so many geniuses trapped in the valley, he actually activated the formation!"
One of the Mahayana stage disciples had a look of anger on his face!
"It's really abominable. The famous and upright Dao Sect actually has such a vicious person!"
After listening to the story, the two quickly found the main culprit - Song Wujing!
In fact, it was true. If Song Wujing hadn't activated the formation outside, the thunder tribulation wouldn't have been so huge, and everyone wouldn't have died.
"Daoyou Li, we want an explanation for this matter!"
The two looked at Li An and spoke coldly.
"I will report to the sect immediately. Song Wujing ignored the lives of many fellow Daoists in order to fight for Nanfu Island, and has violated the Dao Sect's sect rules..."
"Of course, I also made mistakes... The sect rules of our Dao Sect are strict, and we will never cover up for them. Please rest assured!"
Li An bowed respectfully.
He gave Song Wujing advice and asked him to preside over the formation outside... just for this moment!
Find someone to take the blame!
After all, after killing so many geniuses, all the major forces will definitely ask about it. Before doing anything, you must think about where to put the blame...
The plan he discussed with Song Wujing was to wait for the gray giant eagle to appear in the valley, and he would break through and kill it with thunder, but Song Wujing didn't know that Li An deliberately let the gray giant eagle bring other geniuses into the valley.
Moreover, Li An calculated that Song Wujing would definitely not miss this opportunity to save his mother and for Nanfu Island... He would definitely open the formation and not let everyone leave.
He used Song Wujing to achieve his goal, and he could get away with it cleanly!
During this trip to Nanfu Island, Chen Ning disappeared, Song Wujing violated the rules of the sect and must be severely punished, but only Li An gained a lot.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he was also miserable and a victim. Because of Song Wujing, his good fortune in harmony with the Tao was wasted, and his soul was half-crippled. From now on, it would be very difficult to practice again.
...
Seeing Li An's statement, both of them nodded.
…
Next, Li An quickly reported the news here back to the sect.
The head of Changqing Peak of Dao Sect, Song Qingsong, could not sit still, and came in person to negotiate with other forces to deal with the matter.
Li An was also questioned a lot, but he covered up all the details perfectly. The key is that it was indeed Song Wujing who trapped everyone in the valley. In this way, Song Wujing could not escape the blame, violated the sect rules, and became the main cause.
He can only take the blame for this big pot!
As the elder leading the team, Li An also bears some responsibility, but at most it is just poor supervision.
…
While everyone was still negotiating, Li An temporarily closed himself off.
The sect sent many messages to Xiang Yuntian to inquire about Li An's situation. He heard that Li An's impact on Hedao was affected by Song Wujing, which caused Li An's soul to be half crippled. He was furious and wanted to pick up a sword to chop people.
But Li An told him to be patient, there are sect rules for this matter, and he should not act rashly. He asked him to prepare some immortal things for himself in the sect to stabilize him.
Xiang Yuntian then wrote back to Li An, saying that he would definitely bring Li An an immortal opportunity, so that Li An could practice with peace of mind and not be depressed.
…
"Hmm? There are a few more strange Dao powers around my life seed..."
After Li An closed his eyes and examined himself, he suddenly found something abnormal.
Those Dao powers were like water waves, with a little silver light, which looked very strange.
There were four in total!
"No, I haven't been in contact with the blessed land in the past few days. The Dao power in Nanfu Island and the surrounding area is extremely thin. Where did I condense the Dao power?!"
Li An was puzzled. He was immersed in the four powers, but he vaguely felt that time had passed by and time was like water.
"Four strands..."
"From the time I succeeded in the Dao to today, it has been exactly four days!"
"Could it be that these four strands of Dao power are absorbed from the years? Does one strand increase with each passing day?!"
Li An was somewhat shocked. Could this be what Master Fairy Zi said...the extraordinary effect of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art after entering the Dao?
Absorbing the Dao power from the years, as the life span increases, the Dao power increases by one strand with each additional day of living... This is too scary!
Doesn't this mean that Li An's cultivation does not need to rely on the blessed land at all, he only needs to stay alive...? ?
...
