Chapter 694 Seventy-two Islands
The endless thunderstorm lasted for a long time, and even Hehuan Tongzi and Tianyu Fairy both thought that the man had been destroyed by the thunder.
Suddenly, a loud phoenix cry sounded, and at the same time, four purple phoenixes shot out from the thunderstorm, sweeping away the blue lightning in the sky wherever they passed.
In the blink of an eye, the thunderstorm that covered an area of two or three hundred feet disappeared without a trace.
There was a trace of blood on the corner of Xiao Lin's mouth, but his eyes were emitting a three-inch cold light, like two pearls, dazzling people's minds, and Hehuan Tongzi and the other two were shocked at the same time.
Above the sky, in the huge vortex where the dark clouds gathered, a snow-white halo suddenly descended, and the halo almost shone on Xiao Lin's body as soon as it appeared.
Streams of extremely pure spiritual energy were injected into Xiao Lin's body, washing his body and soul.
This is the blessing that a cultivator will inevitably receive when he survives a thunder tribulation. It can be said that without the baptism of the power of heaven, Xiao Lin cannot be considered a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
Xiao Lin's entire body exuded a dazzling white spiritual light, and countless black smoke emerged from his body, drifted out, and then disappeared.
This process only lasted for a cup of tea, and the white spiritual light on Xiao Lin's body began to dissipate.
The dark clouds in the sky also dissipated, and large swathes of sunlight fell. The originally dark sky suddenly became cloudless, and the entire sea and islands returned to their previous calm.
If it weren't for the devastation on the mountain under Xiao Lin's feet, I'm afraid no one would believe that a thunder tribulation had occurred here a moment ago.
Xiao Lin felt that his own mana, both in quantity and quality, had increased several times compared to before, and after being baptized by the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique he practiced had actually directly broken through to the second level of the Mysterious Scale, and the strength of his physical body had reached the level of high-level middle grade.
This surprised Xiao Lin.
Not only that, Xiao Lin found that his Yuanshen had also grown several times, and the entire world became clearer in Xiao Lin's perception.
Xiao Lin's heart moved, and the huge divine consciousness suddenly spread out. Wherever it passed, it actually set off gusts of wind within dozens of feet around Xiao Lin. Everything within three hundred miles was instantly clearly reflected in Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness.
The feeling of controlling everything made Xiao Lin feel happy about power for the first time, but Xiao Lin did not want to show off his divine consciousness too much. The huge divine consciousness was released and then retracted. Because the release and retraction were too short, and Xiao Lin did not restrain himself, the space within dozens of feet around him "crackled" with countless electric sparks.
At the bottom of the sea, water columns burst out and rushed into the sky.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the divine consciousness can turn the virtual into the real and can actually generate offensive power.
Nearly a hundred miles away, Hehuan Tongzi and Tianyu Fairy looked at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes.
"This person's divine consciousness is so powerful that even some cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul are not as good as him."
"Not only that, this fairy observed that his divine consciousness was extremely condensed. When it was released, it actually caused a magnetic thunderstorm. Although this magnetic thunderstorm is still slightly weak, it is incredible for a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. This fairy has been in the Nascent Soul stage for more than 300 years, but I still can't do it to this extent."
Hehuan Tongzi sighed: "This person is more powerful than I can imagine. Fortunately, I listened to the fairy's advice and didn't force my move. Otherwise, I don't know whether I'm alive or dead now."
"Okay, this person has The tribulation was successfully passed, and the attention has been focused on the two of us, so let's go over and congratulate them. "
"What the fairy said is true, but just now this person was covered by a thunderstorm, and the thunderstorm was absorbed by the four purple phoenixes that suddenly appeared. Did the fairy see what it was? "
"Because the speed was too fast, I didn't see it clearly, but I vaguely judged that the body of the phoenix looked like a magic flying sword. I think it should be the life magic weapon it refined. "
When Hehuan Tongzi heard this, his face changed slightly, and he felt a little scared in his heart. Fortunately, he had listened to the advice of Tianyu Fairy before, otherwise it would really be a bad ending.
Xiao Lin was hanging in the air at this moment, looking at Hehuan Tongzi and Tianyu Fairy in the distance with a calm look. He did not take the initiative to step forward, but slowly operated the Qingluan Shengmie Yuhan Jue, constantly recovering the lost mana.
At the same time, he also knew that the two had watched for so long, and they would not choose to leave after watching the excitement, and they would definitely come over, so he was not in a hurry.
Moreover, he had just successfully passed the tribulation, and his magic power had not yet fully recovered.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's heart moved, and his right hand moved from a distance. Suddenly, a silver light shot out from between the rocks below and shot into Xiao Lin's hand. It was a silver token.
Looking at the small half of the charred part on the token, Xiao Lin sighed softly.
Qingyang Jian was actually destroyed under this six-nine thunder tribulation. Xiao Lin saw at a glance that the treasure Yuanling in Qingyang Jian had been dispersed by the tribulation thunder, which means that Qingyang Jian is now just a very ordinary magic weapon.
It can even be said that only the main material is left.
Thinking that Qingyang Jian was the first spiritual treasure he got, and it had been with him for many years, but now it was destroyed, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
As for the Taiyi Golden Canopy, although the main body is not destroyed, the golden beads on it have been destroyed, which greatly reduces the power of this high-level spiritual treasure. According to Xiao Lin's estimation, this high-level spiritual treasure is now the most It can only exert the power of the mid-level spiritual treasure.
In a sense, these two spiritual treasures, Qingyangjian and Taiyijinhuagai, have been completely destroyed.
In addition, the two magic weapons that Xiao Lin sacrificed at the beginning were a primary magic weapon and an intermediate magic weapon. These two magic weapons were also destroyed by the thunder.
Therefore, in this Sixty-Nine Thunder Tribulation, Xiao Lin lost two magic weapons and two spiritual treasures at once. For ordinary immortal cultivators, they may not be able to have these with all their wealth.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Xiao Lin did not expect that he not only caused the wind and thunder tribulation, but also the legendary Five Elements tribulation. In comparison, he was able to survive the thunder tribulation and save his life. This is something worth celebrating.
"This fellow Taoist invites you, the Hehuan Boy from Hehuan Cave in Xiaocang Mountain, and this is Fairy Tianyu from Xiaoyu Palace on Tianyu Island. I saw that fellow Taoist has once again passed through the tribulation, and I just stopped to watch, but I don't know your last name? Where to practice immortality?”
The boy Hehuan and the fairy Tianyu had already arrived in the air less than ten feet in front of Xiao Lin. After they bowed their hands to Xiao Lin and saluted, they spoke.
When Xiao Lin heard the introduction from Hehuan Boy, he couldn't help but be wary in his heart. Just by hearing their names, he knew that these two people were not cultivators in the right way. However, in the Eastern Territory, the boundaries between the so-called immortals and demons were relatively blurred.
There are many righteous cultivators who do the same things as cruel demonic cultivators. In the final analysis, the world of cultivating immortals is still a world where strength is respected. Especially in the sea of 10,000 monsters, the rules established by the three major sects are not very respected here. Good execution makes this place a jungle place where no one cares.
Things like sneak attacks and ambushes, killing people and seizing treasures happen every day in the sea of monsters.
Xiao Lin himself has never thought that he is a righteous person. He only pays attention to one principle: I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I must kill them all to clear away the trouble for myself.
"My dear, Xiao Shi, comes from an unknown sect. It's not worth mentioning. But we are two people. We were in a hurry. Where were we going?"
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xiao. It's such a pleasure to meet you. Three days ago, Fellow Daoist Tianyu and I received an invitation from the Jade Demon Concubine of Xiaoyu Island, inviting us to attend the Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Association. When the Jade Demon Concubine was in the golden elixir stage, she was The famous golden elixir in the boundless sea of hundreds of thousands of miles outside the sea of monsters has now advanced to Yuanying, and his magical power has become even more advanced, so the two of us are happy to go to congratulate him."
When Xiao Lin heard this, his heart moved, but a look of surprise appeared on his face: "It turns out to be the Jade Demon Concubine's Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Association. I heard that a few years ago, the Jade Demon Concubine had already advanced to Nascent Soul. At that time, Xiao It’s still the realm of golden elixir perfection, why is it postponed until now?”
Hearing this, Fairy Tianyu chuckled and said: "The so-called Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Meeting held by the Jade Demon Concubine is nothing more than an opportunity to show off her magic power to us. She had it when she just advanced to Nascent Soul a few years ago. News of the Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Society came out, but according to the little girl's guess, the Jade Demon Concubine had just advanced at that time, her realm had not yet been stable, and her magical powers had not yet reached their peak. However, after several years of practice, I think I have already stabilized my realm and cultivation, so I convened this Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Meeting.”
"That's it." Xiao Lin said with a stunned expression.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xiao has advanced to Nascent Soul, it is a gratifying event. Why don't you go with the two of us to Xiaoyu Island to participate in the grand meeting. On the one hand, you can see the peerless grace of the Jade Demon Concubine, and on the other hand, you can also get to know many people." Fellow Taoist?"
Xiao Lin fell silent after hearing what the boy Hehuan said, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Hehuan Boy and Tianyu Fairy looked at each other secretly, did not speak, but quietly waited for Xiao Lin's decision.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin finally spoke: "The Jade Demon Concubine is famous in the sea outside the Ten Thousand Monsters. Little Jade Island is famous both at home and abroad. The Jade Demon Palace is known as the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Lair. Xiao is just a nameless person who has just advanced to the level." Xiao Xiu, besides not receiving the invitation, it seems a bit abrupt to go there rashly."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao originally was worried about these things, but he was overly worried. This time, the Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Association basically sent invitations to the Yuanying monks within hundreds of thousands of miles around Xiaoyu Island, and the Jade Demon Concubine also Someone once said that no matter whether they are immortals or demons, as long as they are cultivators at the realm of Jindan or above, they can attend the Jade Spirit Fruit Festival and taste the unique Jade Spirit Fruit Fairy Brew on Xiaoyu Island. "
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao is being too modest. Just now, Fellow Daoist Hehuan and I were watching the process of how Fellow Daoist passed through the tribulation, and it actually attracted the legendary five-light thunder. This alone is enough to prove that Fellow Daoist's magical powers are definitely not many. The veteran Yuanying monks are inferior, and even many Jindan juniors are invited by Jade Demon Concubine, not to mention powerful monks like Xiao Daoyou. Xiao Daoyou and I can also get acquainted with each other. Demon concubine, isn’t that a good thing?”
"In this case, Xiao will be shameless and follow the two of them to learn about it. I just hope that the two fellow Taoists will give more advice and don't let Xiao make some jokes."
After hearing this, the two people politely said that there was no problem.
After the three chatted for a few more words, they turned into three rays of light and shot toward Xiaoyu Island in the south.
Along the way, through chatting with the two of them, Xiao Lin also learned a lot about some of the forces outside the Ten Thousand Monsters in the Eastern Territory.
Xiao Lin was also amazed that when he was still a golden elixir monk, his view of the scope of influence in the Eastern Territory was too superficial.
Outside the sea of Ten Thousand Monsters in the Eastern Territory, except for a few very large islands with large spiritual veins controlled by the three major sects and the establishment of several large fairy cities, most of the places are ownerless islands. On these islands, there are no Most of them have spiritual veins.
Most of these islands were occupied by some high-level monks, who established sects on them and recruited disciples. On the one hand, they expanded their own power, and on the other hand, they also provided themselves with a relatively safe cultivation environment.
For many mortals, they are more willing to live on some islands protected by sects.
Therefore, there are still many second- and third-rate forces like Hehuan Boy and Tianyu Fairy in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons. Most of these second- and third-rate forces are attached to the three major sects.
Just like the Jade Demon Palace on Xiaoyu Island, the Jade Demon Concubine is the master on the surface, but in fact the real master behind it is the Jade Demon from the Liudaokui Demon Palace.
In the sea area within hundreds of thousands of miles around the Jade Demon Palace on Xiaoyu Island, there are seventy-two islands with spiritual veins, and eighteen of them have sects established by Nascent Soul monks.
Hehuan boy and Tianyu fairy are two of them. There are also thirty-six small forces established by Jindan monks. The last eighteen remaining islands have relatively small spiritual veins. Even the Jindan monks have some Disdainful.
Most of these islands are controlled and established by several foundation-building monks.
But no matter which one they are, they are all attached to Xiaoyu Island Jade Demon Palace. Of course, they are not subordinate. In normal times, they only donate some spiritual stone materials to Xiaoyu Island Jade Demon Palace every year.
And once Xiaoyu Island Jade Demon Palace is attacked by foreign enemies, they are also obliged to come forward to resist.
Of course, through chatting with the two of them, Xiao Lin could also tell that the so-called Seventy-Two Islands were not really attached to Xiaoyu Island Jade Demon Palace, but were taken from the strength of Liu Daokui Demon Palace. It was just an act of bowing one's head that had to be done.
Especially more than a hundred years ago, after the news of the discord between the Jade Demon Concubine and the Jade Demon came out, some of the seventy-two islands began to make moves to get rid of Xiaoyu Island's control.
But this news has not been confirmed after all. They just thought about it, but did not dare to commit an act of betrayal. The annual offerings were still delivered on time.
This time, most of the island owners of the Seventy-two Islands will go to the Jade Spirit Fruit Fairy held by Jade Demon Concubine in person. Their purpose is naturally to find out whether the news about the discord between Jade Demon Concubine and Jade Demon is true. Has the relationship broken down?
Of course, after listening to the two people's grievances about the Jade Demon Palace on Xiaoyu Island, Xiao Lin also estimated that the reason why the Jade Demon Concubine convened the Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Meeting was most likely to take the opportunity to frighten these seventy-two The island's monsters and ghosts, in order to re-establish its prestige.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but become even more interested in the Jade Spirit Fruit Immortal Society.
