Chapter 1,237 Heaven is nourishment

Chapter 1,237 Heaven is nourishment

The power that was originally used to protect the earth's veins was turned into nourishment after being swallowed by the Taoist insect.

A black shadow that was only the size of a fist at first, in an instant, like rich ink melting in the water, gradually dyed the rushing river of earth black.

What's even more weird is that, apart from the color difference, the black torrent after being eroded by the Dao Yizhong has the same aura and energy fluctuations as the previous yellow earth veins. Simple perception cannot detect such changes.

However, Wang Xuanba, who had his own clone in the Daoyi insect swarm, could clearly feel the terrifying growth and expansion speed of the insect swarm.

Following the earth's veins, with Yueyang Prefecture as the center, it spread fiercely towards various places in the Xuanhuang Realm.

In addition to the horizontal expansion, in the vertical space, the Dao Yizhong also continued to erode downward along the dense roots of the hanging tree.

"The miracle of creation is this. If it hadn't been for Master's suggestion, I probably would never have thought that there is such a big tree hidden underground in the Xuanhuang Realm." Wang Xuanba sighed in his heart.

With the help of the images coming from Dao Yizhong's body, Wang Xuanba saw those roots that were originally dense but still, as they continued to turn black, they gradually seemed to come alive and swayed slightly.

A huge consciousness swept back and forth among those blackened parts. Compared to before, I was a little more surprised and uncertain. Wang Xuanba knew that that should be the consciousness of the ancient tree in the ground.

But it is doomed to be in vain. Before these mutated Taoist insects only took up residence and had not completely transformed into insects, the ancient trees of the earth could not even notice the fact that their bodies were infected.

"I knew clearly that there was something wrong with my body, but I couldn't find the reason. As my condition worsened, the panic and despair in my heart accumulated more and more. As the saying goes, attacking the mind is the best, Master, this strategy is really a good one." Wang Xuan Ba ​​showed a sneer, feeling that it was almost done, and then gave an order in his heart.

The rapidly expanding wave of shadow insects stopped in an instant. A swarm of insects fell into a deep sleep one after another. Lurking in the body of the ancient tree.

The power of the yellow earth veins continued to wash away, as if suppressing the shadows. It's just that the black doesn't disappear, it still settles at the bottom of the yellow.

If you look at it from a macro perspective, it looks like there is a dim spot in the black and yellow earth veins.

"Master said that the earth's veins will eventually affect thousands of living beings on the ground. A slight change can cause landslides and subsidence. If not handled properly, it will even arouse the hostility of Xuanhuang Tiandao..."

Just now, Wang Xuanba seemed to be vaguely aware of the changes in the will of heaven and earth. However, as the swarm of insects hibernated, this abnormal movement quickly disappeared.

"Interesting." Wang Xuanba squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.

Then he rushed to the next leyline node without stopping. He wants to plant sixteen black spots like this in the body of the Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ancient Tree.

The plan went smoothly.

Except for the last few times, the increasingly uneasy ancient trees and the spontaneous riots of earth veins caused him to suffer some minor injuries. The rest of the insect swarm shadows are arranged perfectly.

And even if the ancient trees of the earth line were aware of their struggle, it would be of no use at all. On the contrary, the speed at which Dao Yi's insect swarm spread in the earth's veins skyrocketed, and the shadow spots were significantly larger than those in other places.

Half a month later, Wang Xuanba returned to the Holy Capital City after successfully completing his mission.

In the Holy Throne, several of Li Ping's disciples were already waiting in advance.

Wang Xuanba was a little surprised. These brothers and sisters all practiced according to the master's teachings and rarely had the chance to meet each other on weekdays. Wang Xuanba had never even met some of them, but he only heard that the master had accepted such a disciple. I didn't expect that we would all be together today.

"It seems that Master is finally going to make a big move." Wang Xuanba immediately became a little excited.

After striding up to the Holy Emperor, Wang Xuanba knelt down on one knee and reported on the progress of the mission.

The Faceless Holy Emperor gently waved his hand and helped Wang Xuanba up.

"well done."

Wang Xuanba, who rarely heard the Holy Emperor's words of praise, couldn't help but raise his head.

"Sixteen groups of Dao insects were nailed down, and the ancient tree of the Earth's veins is doomed. Which one of you will take over as a master and subdue this tree?" Li Ping then asked calmly.

The six His Highnesses all said loudly in unison: "Disciple is willing to share the worries of Master!"

Li Ping looked at these disciples who all spoke sincerely and nodded with satisfaction.

Six disciples, three men and three women.

They are, Sun Erlang, Su Yuqing, Wang Xuanba, Lin Ling, Ou Shangtian, and Taotong Liuli.

The first five people have been accepted as disciples by Li Ping and have been carefully trained for some time. But Taotong Liuli made the impromptu decision after Li Ping discovered the magical power of Mao Bao.

However, Li Ping himself does not have any malicious intentions. He just plans to use the special connection between Liuli and the fishing pond in the future to obtain more treasures in the fishing pond. Li Ping was sincere and told the truth directly. And Tao Tong Liuli is also very sensitive to people's hearts. After noticing Li Ping's honest thoughts, he slowly accepted and got used to the existence of this master.

Moreover, Zhong Shentong kept nagging her, asking her to listen to the Holy Emperor's orders. Coupled with the fact that Baihua Taoist occasionally opened a small stove for Liuli, this little Taoist boy's progress was actually the fastest among the disciples.

By the way, Zhong Shentong, since he came to the Great Qi Dynasty, he has completely lived his favorite life of lying down. The increasing concentration of spiritual energy in the Holy Dynasty allows him to live comfortably for another few decades even if he does not break through to his current state, and he will simply give up and stop practicing.

With the permission of the Holy Emperor, I could play a beautiful swing in the fishing pond every day. I really lived a life that was enviable to others.

The perspective returns to the Holy Emperor's throne. Facing the Holy Emperor's mission, all the disciples are eager to try.

Li Ping actually had already made up his mind.

"Lin Ling, please go with Xuan Ba. If the ancient tree knows the current affairs, that's all. If it is stubborn and ineffective..."

Li Ping smiled: "You can take my place."

The incarnation of the spirit tree in the spirit wood world. Ever since he was awakened by Li Ping in this life, he has been conquering other small worlds for the great start of the holy dynasty. Lin Ling's unabashed murderous aura made him the most awe-inspiring among Li Ping's six disciples.

Li Ping gave her the task, but the others had no objections.

The Faceless Holy Emperor volleyed a magic weapon in the shape of a wheel to Lin Ling: "With this wheel, you can freely control an insect. If the insect is infested, the ancient tree of the earth line should have no room for resistance. However, we must also guard against it. The dog is so anxious that he jumps over the wall..."

After a few final words of explanation, Li Ping watched Lin Ling and Wang Xuanba leave the Holy Throne.

The hall became a little quieter.

Ou Shangtian still had the courage to ask: "Master, that matter you said you wanted to leave to me before..."

Li Ping smiled slightly: "It's almost here. Just be prepared."

The remaining three disciples also cast their gazes.

As Li Ping's disciple, Sun Erlang had already helped manage the affairs of the Holy Dynasty. Knowing that this master of his has been planning for a long time, and now suddenly attacks, it cannot be just this one thing.

"Erlang." As expected, Li Ping said.

"The disciple is here."

"As my master, you go to the Five Elders Association for a trip."

Sun Erlang was stunned.

He anticipated many possible conquests in the future, but he did not expect that his master would ask him to go to the Wu Laohui.

This name is very unfamiliar to most people in the Holy Dynasty. Sun Erlang had only learned a little about it from Yi Shu before.

"Ask my master if they know what Dongji Tianzun did back then."

Li Ping transmitted a picture into Sun Erlang's mind.

"Dongji?" Sun Erlang had never heard of this name before. But to be able to take the name of Tianzun, his strength should undoubtedly be in the realm of immortality.

Therefore, when Sun Erlang saw the scene in his mind clearly, even with his perseverance of "being a man of two generations", he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Li Ping didn't care about Sun Erlang's reaction and accepted the instruction: "The Five Elders Association is different from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The power of the Heavenly Lord covers the entire territory and divides and conquers it. When you leave, go to the territory of the [True Heavenly Lord]. As for the other Heavenly Lords, , don’t provoke..."

Sun Erlang firmly remembered his master's instructions in his heart.

Like Lin Ling, Sun Erlang also received a rewarded treasure before leaving.

"You have the Tao Transformation Stone with you, which is already the greatest magic weapon. Using other external objects will go astray." Li Ping said, and slowly brought a bright and crystal stone to Sun Erlang.

In the sea of ​​​​his own consciousness, the Taoist Stone suddenly erupted with an unprecedented blue light, and then greed and restlessness emerged like a flood.

The desire from the soul made Sun Erlang unable and unwilling to suppress it.

"Another transformation stone? And it's of better quality than the one in my consciousness sea! At least it's middle grade or higher." Sun Erlang was inexplicably surprised.

After accompanying Taiyan Zong Yishu in the Holy Dynasty for a long time, Sun Erlang naturally understood the preciousness of the Tao Transformation Stone in this world. There are only a few pieces left in the world, and most of them are occupied by other monks with profound blessings, making it impossible for outsiders to find them. But now, the master can actually give him a piece of medium quality...

Sun Erlang thanked his teacher on the spot.

The joy in his heart directly diluted the fear just caused by Dongji Tianzun's current situation.

"You slowly absorb it, and the sublimation of the Transformation Stone will feed back and improve your abilities in an all-round way. Of course, if you want to maximize the potential of the Transformation Stone, you may need to match it with other rare objects."

Li Ping's majestic voice echoed in the hall: "The foundation of the Five Elders Association is the ten sects of the Immortal Way. It exists in name only, but there are countless treasures inside. When you go, you may invite Taiyan Sect Yishu to accompany you."

"I obey my master's orders." Sun Erlang nodded and stepped away.

Among several disciples, Li Ping had the most special feelings for Sun Erlang. This appointment was not only because he really wanted to use his strength, but also because Li Ping vaguely sensed Sun Erlang's opportunity. This hunch is very mysterious and is not an inference from sufficient information. Rather, it is more like a whim guidance that a monk will have when he is about to make a breakthrough.

When Dao Tong Liuli saw that several senior brothers and sisters had treasures in hand, he couldn't help but look forward to it, staring straight at Li Ping with his big eyes.

Su Yuqing, on the other hand, had the dullest reaction among everyone. Perhaps it was because the child in her belly was still unborn.

Su Yuqing's mind recalled what her master had said to her before: "The fetus in your belly is actually the incarnation of the way of heaven in this small world."

"This world is facing destruction, so I have borrowed your body to seek a glimmer of hope. However, even if you are blessed with the Heavenly Dao of the Small World, you are still a mortal body, and your body is too weak. Even if you are lucky enough to successfully give birth to this fetus . It will be difficult for her to grow up, and you will die."

"Unless you practice with me..."

From that day on, Su Yuqing followed him to the Great Qi of the Holy Dynasty.

As his realm gets higher and higher, the original weakness of his body slowly disappears. The fetus in the belly also slept more peacefully.

However, Master has said that the stronger he is during childbirth, the higher his daughter's achievements will be in the future. The mother's instinct made Su Yuqing's persistent pursuit of cultivation realm firmly rank first among the six disciples.

He doesn't have any particular obsession with meritorious service in battle.

Li Ping's mind was locked on the two people in the hall who had no specific arrangements yet, and he didn't speak for a long time.

This made Tao Tong Liuli sense something, and she panicked. She lowered her head and withdrew her expectant gaze.

"You two have similar personalities. Staying together will benefit each other. And due to your special physique, you should not be exposed to the killing aura..."

"I recently opened up a special little world. You two can come in and help me."

Taoist Liuli suddenly grimaced when he heard this.

Perhaps because she was raised by Zhong Shentong, her temperament is very similar to Zhong Shentong. If there is no external force to force it, it will be quite slack. Since Li Ping accepted her as his disciple, he naturally wanted to change this bad habit.

After Ou Shangtian left, Liuli and Su Yuqing followed Li Ping to the small world that had just been opened up.

"Shihu, it's too dark here. Liuli, I'm a little scared." Liuli said pitifully and clearly with unclear words.

This is not because Liuli deliberately misfortune, but that this world is indeed different from the ordinary small world, without a trace of light. Just because this is a special world specially prepared for the You tribe people that Li Ping, Tian Yang, and Xu Ke worked together to open up.

"Yu Qing, apart from the darkness, have you ever felt any other difference here?" Li Ping asked slowly, turning a blind eye to Liuli's pretense of pity.

Absolute darkness, silence and tranquility. The activity of the fetus in Su Yuqing's belly decreased, and it gradually fell into a deep sleep, as if it was hypnotized.

Su Yuqing felt the emotions coming from her daughter, and soon she frowned and replied: "The small world of heaven here... is not complete? Or, is it simply not there?"

"It's just a large space. In my disciple's opinion, this place is not enough to be called the world."

Su Yuqing was truly gifted, and she sensed the abnormality here in just a moment.

Li Ping smiled: "You only got half of the answer right. In the beginning, it was not that there was no awareness of the small world and the way of heaven here. Although it is very weak, it is indeed there."

Su Yuqing was startled when she heard this. She was about to ask about the way of heaven in this world, but she went somewhere else.

But a golden cube suddenly appeared in front of her. The dazzling light illuminates the entire dark little world.

After sensing the somewhat familiar aura within the cube, Su Yuqing suddenly felt a hint of uncontrollable fear.

The fetus in the belly was even more frightened and started to stir uneasily.

Because what is sealed in this golden cube is the world’s consciousness of heaven that is the same as hers!

"They all have gifts, and you will certainly have them too." Li Ping could naturally feel Su Yuqing's fear.

"Here, it needs to be under the absolute control of the master, and there is no need for the existence of the world's heavenly consciousness, so I stripped it off and sealed it."

"I'll give it to you now." Li Ping said calmly.
