Chapter 684 Going against the will of heaven
The Xiao family is an ancient family with a profound foundation and unfathomable strength.
Originally, relying solely on his own strength and not overcoming the disaster, Lin Mu only had a 50-60% chance of winning. If the Xiao family was willing to help, it would increase the chance of winning by at least 20%, to at least a 70-80% chance of winning!
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao He, even felt inferior to Xiaobao in terms of strength. He could compete with an eminent monk at least, and was even stronger than ordinary eminent monks.
If the entire Xiao family had a few top experts, it would be much easier to attack Lingshan Temple.
In a duel between top players, victory or defeat is often decided in an instant. Any weak advantage gradually accumulated will turn into a huge advantage and determine the outcome.
With the addition of the Xiao family, Lin Mu felt that his strength would increase a lot at once, not just a slight increase.
He suddenly felt that it was a pity. If Xiao Qingmei had not lost all her cultivation, with her stunning beauty and elegance back then, she would not be any worse than Pushan now, right?
Lin Mu was very sure of this.
He didn't understand Pushan's practice of Joyful Zen, but he was certain that this technique was not as outrageous as it was said to be.
Pushan's joyful Zen relies on plundering and absorbing the Yuan Yin of female cultivators to improve his own cultivation.
This is similar to how Lin Mu relied on other cultivators' Nascent Soul Essence to improve his cultivation and spiritual realm.
Lin Mu knows this well.
This type of skill has great prospects at the beginning, and it advances very quickly. It is really fast, and few people can match it. However, it does not last long. The further you go, the more shackles you have, and the advancement becomes more and more difficult. .
Just like him before, the Yuan Ying stage absorbs the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators in the Concentration stage, and the spiritual consciousness cultivation level increases very quickly. However, after his spiritual consciousness cultivation reaches the late stage of Concentration stage, he then refines and absorbs the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators in the Concentration stage, increasing the amount of spiritual consciousness. The speed becomes much slower.
When his spiritual consciousness cultivation was about to reach the peak of the concentration stage, he refined and absorbed the spiritual consciousness essence of the early concentration cultivators. The increase in spiritual consciousness cultivation was already minimal and almost stagnant.
This kind of technique that relies on others must absorb the essence of cultivation that is higher than one's own, or at least the same level as one's own, or the essence of spiritual consciousness, in order to have good results. Otherwise, the speed will not be as fast as one's own hard work.
Thousands of avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.
The practice of universal kindness is the joyful Zen, and the plundering is the female cultivator. The principles should be the same.
At the beginning, he could quickly improve his cultivation level by absorbing Yuanyin, a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. The higher the requirements, the higher the requirements. Later, he became a female cultivator in the Concentration stage, and finally he became a female cultivator in the Return to Void stage. In the end, I am afraid that for cultivators in the Return to Void Stage, there will be no improvement in their cultivation.
Lin Mu felt that although there were some similarities between his and Pushan's advancement paths, he and Pushan had the most essential difference.
His true strength is actually several realms beyond his own cultivation level.
In other words, his foundation is extremely deep, and it is only logical to improve his cultivation level so quickly. Even if he practices hard on his own, the speed will be very fast, but the speed of refining and absorbing the essence of the Nascent Soul will be faster.
He didn't squeeze his potential. In fact, he kept suppressing his cultivation.
If he really let go of his cultivation and focused solely on improving his cultivation, he might already be a cultivator in the Void Return Stage by now.
Of course, the premise is that he must successfully overcome the tribulation.
Lin Mu secretly guessed that three thousand years ago, Pu Shan was in a period of rapid growth, so he was slightly better than Xiao Qingmei at the same time, and then used Xiao Qingmei as a stepping stone to step on Xiao Qingmei's infinitely bright future and embark on another realm.
From now on, the cultivation promotion will definitely become extremely slow.
But now, Pu Shan's cultivators in the Returning Void Stage, and even female cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage like Mu Wanqing, are coming to snatch it away.
One can imagine how powerful Huo Yun Diao was when he spent 10,000 years of life to strike, and his universal good cultivation had already declined to such an extent.
Lin Mu even suspected that when Pu Shan was first injured, he might have almost lost all his cultivation. He was lucky enough to be able to save his life.
After so many years, the cultivation level has only just returned to the level corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Now it is at most the level corresponding to the advancement stage and the Concentration stage.
It's not as scary as I thought.
After thinking about this, Lin Mu suddenly felt enlightened and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so stressed before that he was almost driven crazy by his own imagination.
Many times, people are not struck down by cruel reality, but defeated by their own inner fears.
Thinking of this, Pushan's height in Lin Mu's heart plummeted.
Although it was not the kind of falling from the clouds to the abyss, it was not far away. Lin Mu no longer had any fear in his heart, but was full of confidence.
No matter whether the enemy is strong or not, the belief that you must win can support you to go further.
In a duel between masters, the outcome is often determined by this thought.
After thinking about this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for Xiao Qingmei, and beat her chest and feet.
Such a gorgeous woman, relying on her own hard training, surpassed all the geniuses of her generation. Pushan relied on plundering the Yuan Yin of countless female cultivators to increase his cultivation, but he was only slightly better than Xiao Qingmei.
At that time, Pushan was in a period of rapid growth and also had a great advantage.
If the two faced off again three thousand years later, Lin Mu believed that Xiao Qingmei would definitely be able to defeat Pu Shan even if Pu Shan kept plundering the Yuan Yin of the female cultivator to increase his cultivation.
Because Pu Shan relies on others to improve himself, and in the spiritual light world, the most powerful female cultivators are only in the stage of returning to the void.
But Xiao Qingmei is completely different. She relies on herself. There is no limit to her future. As the undisputed first person of her generation, it is not impossible to become an immortal in the future, especially with the Xiao family behind her. The aristocratic family has a profound foundation.
It is a pity that such a prosperous future withered prematurely before it could bloom.
The culprit of all crimes is Universal Goodness!
Lin Mu, a listener, became extremely angry and filled with righteous indignation after hearing it once. He wished he could cut Pushan into pieces with a thousand knives. As Xiao Qingmei's father, the hatred in the heart of Xiao He, the head of the Xiao family, can be imagined. , it is no exaggeration to say that it is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth.
If given the chance to kill Pu Shan, Lin Mu believed that Xiao He would definitely do it.
Now that Pushan's strength has not recovered, it is the best opportunity to make a move.
If the Xiao family came to help, Lin Mu would not want to use his Thunder Tribulation trump card. The Thunder Tribulation put more pressure on him than Pu Shan.
No matter how powerful Pu Shan is, he is just a human being, and he is not invincible. Huo Yun Diao almost killed him with one blow.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation is unpredictable and extremely powerful. Many powerful cultivators whose cultivation levels far exceeded the stage of returning to the void have died under the Heavenly Tribulation.
This is why man does not fight against heaven.
No matter how powerful a person is, can he be more powerful than the sky?
But the cultivators are going against nature all the way. The pursuit of immortality is something that goes against nature.
Along the way, in the early stages, it was easy to say that there were no catastrophes, but in the later stages, the strength became stronger, and gradually one could travel between heaven and earth, with great freedom, and a life span of tens of thousands or tens of thousands of years. There is not much difference between Yuan and immortality.
At this time, the catastrophe will become more and more severe, trying to destroy everything.
People can't be too brilliant, otherwise even God will be jealous.
Heaven is jealous of talents and Heaven is jealous of beauty, which has been passed down since ancient times.
And heavenly tribulation is the most cruel punishment sent down by heaven.
Xiao Qingmei, a peerless woman of her generation, was also jealous of God. She suffered such misery and turned into a crazy woman.
Lin Mu is not arrogant. His current achievements have indeed exceeded the limits that a Nascent Soul cultivator can achieve. To describe him as a genius is an insult to him.
Generally, practitioners in the Nascent Soul Stage are extremely talented if their spiritual consciousness can surpass their own realm and reach the Concentration Stage. But for him, his spiritual consciousness not only entered the Concentration Stage, but also reached the peak of the Concentration Stage. Although there was a slip in the middle, Now he has also reached the late stage of concentration.
As for his physique, he even crossed two levels in a row, reaching the stage of returning to the void, and even reaching the peak of the stage of returning to the void!
Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are stuck at the level of sword skills, and even those who understand the meaning of the sword are considered to be extremely talented.
And not only did he understand the sword's intention, but he also surpassed all the four realms of the sword's intention. Now he also understood the sword realm and was able to truly control it.
More importantly, his sword domain is the strongest boundless killing domain in the sword domain!
A medium-level spiritual magic weapon. Only the most powerful cultivators in the Concentration Stage can possess such a piece. It is extremely precious.
And now his whole body is filled with psychic magic weapons.
The Five Elements Magic Mirror, Fire Element Armor, Suixin Sword, Divine Flying Ring, these psychic magic weapons of his were all tempered in the Five Elements Magic Mirror, and even the Buddha treasures and golden *** obtained from the Qinglian Ancient Temple , the power is far superior to ordinary psychic magic weapons.
In addition, when he entered the Five Elements Magic Mirror and saw Xiao Qing, he remembered that he still had a psychic magic weapon, the Qingyun Cauldron, which was the most precious treasure for alchemy!
And the four shocking beings who followed him all the way were extremely powerful. Each one of them had the shocking ability to instantly kill a cultivator in the Void Return Stage.
His close friend Qingniu is a nobler being than Qilin and Phoenix. He also possesses a gifted memory inheritance, is extremely powerful, and has an unlimited future.
In the Spiritual Light World, when he retrieved his memory, he also realized the Buddhist magical power, the Little Compassion Mantra, which is the prototype of the Buddhist supreme magical power, the Great Compassion Mantra. And the magical power he had realized before, the seductive smile, was also The prototype of Buddhism's supreme magical power, Nianhuahuayi.
The "All Things Heart Sutra" he practiced before was a crude version given to him by Huo Yundiao. Now that he is practicing the real "All Things Heart Sutra", he hopes to understand the supreme powers of Buddhism.
Every supreme magical power can be called an invincible existence. A monk like Pu Shan, who is the pinnacle of the aura world and enjoys everything, also dreams of it and does not hesitate to pay any price.
And he's got that.
If you take any of these achievements and place it on any Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he will receive thousands of praises, thousands of admiration, millions of admiration, and the efforts of the most powerful forces to cultivate him.
But Lin Mu alone was able to gather all these achievements.
I am afraid that even God will not allow such an achievement. How powerful will the Heavenly Tribulation be?
Xiao Qingmei, who was so elegant and elegant, turned into a crazy woman.
What will happen to me?
Lin Mu really couldn't imagine it.
