Chapter 645: The Gathering Immortals Alliance, Fenghe's Tribulation
This Taoist temple is located deep in the mountains. There is no human habitation within dozens of miles around. Only a few mortal Taoist priests with no cultivation live here.
However, what surprised Song Qingming was that when these Taoist priests saw the three golden elixir monks falling from the sky, they did not show any signs of panic.
One of the older Taoist priests stepped forward and said hello to the leading Jindan monk, then turned around and led them into a very ordinary-looking tile-roofed house behind the Taoist temple.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming immediately felt a powerful aura that was not weaker than Feng He's body. After taking a closer look, he realized that an old man with gray hair and a childlike face wearing gray robes was walking towards them.
This old man had a smile on his face and seemed to be amiable and kind to others. However, his cultivation level was unfathomable and he was also a master who had reached the pinnacle of the golden elixir.
The golden elixir monk who brought Song Qingming and the others saw the white-haired old man and immediately quietly sent a message to him. Then he voluntarily exited the room and turned into a white light and quickly left the place.
"Two fellow Taoists, I'm here to call you the elder of the Juxian Alliance, Luo Tongzhou." After the person who led the way left, the white-haired old man faced Song Qingming, slightly cupped his hands, and directly revealed his identity.
"Feng He, Song Qingming!"
Seeing this person, Feng He also changed his previous arrogant attitude in front of Song Qingming, and took the initiative to salute him with a smile on his face.
After greeting the two of them, Luo Tongzhou took out the white jade pendant that Song Qingming had sent to "Xianyuan City" a few days ago, and asked Feng He beside him:
"If I'm not mistaken, this white jade should have been sent by this fellow Feng Daoist. Does it mean that you want to retreat to the Nascent Soul realm?"
Feng He heard the words and immediately nodded and replied: "Fellow Taoist is right, I did bring it. This thing was given by a close friend of mine. Back then, he had dealt with an elder of your alliance. Those who are lucky enough to get this.
This time I came to Donghuang Kingdom and just needed it, so my friends and I borrowed this thing to use for a while. This shouldn't violate your rules! "
Luo Tongzhou waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "The rules of this business alliance are to only recognize tokens without asking about their origins. Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry about this. Even if this jade pendant is obtained by killing people and robbing treasures, it has nothing to do with us, as long as it does not hinder us. Let's just do business.
Since fellow Taoist brought this token to Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, he should know our rules. Dare I ask my friend, have you prepared enough spiritual items? "
"Of course I understand this. I have already prepared the spiritual creature to give birth to a baby. I just need your help to find a safe place for retreat to protect me and prevent others from disturbing my retreat and breakthrough realm."
After Feng He finished speaking, he took out a silver storage bag from himself and threw it to Luo Tongzhou.
After taking the storage bag, opening it and looking at it, Luo Tongzhou's face slowly showed a hint of joy, and he nodded slightly towards Feng He with a smile.
"I already know what fellow Taoist is asking for, but I still have to remind you that this alliance can only provide you with retreat caves and shelter. No one will help you deal with the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation. I hope you know this in advance.
If you haven't thought about it yet, you can still take your things back and leave here. If there are no problems, then come with me! "
"I understand this, please excuse me, fellow Taoist!" Feng He responded firmly to the other party.
Seeing that Feng He had made up his mind, Luo Tongzhou didn't say anything more. After returning the white jade pendant in his hand to Feng He, he led the two of them into the house.
The two followed Luo Tongzhou to a wall in the room. Facing this ordinary-looking stone wall, Luo Tongzhou waved out a golden token with his hand, and then began to cast spells quickly with both hands.
After a moment, a burst of white light suddenly burst out from above the golden token, and then a pitch-black square hole slowly appeared in front of the wall.
"Fellow Taoists, please follow me!"
After Luo Tongzhou finished speaking, he put away the golden token in mid-air and took the lead directly into the black hole. After Feng He glanced around, he followed immediately without much hesitation.
The three of them quickly passed through the cave entrance and came to an extremely dark cave with no light.
Being in this pitch-black environment where one can't even see his fingers, people immediately felt a sense of depression. Just when Song Qingming stretched out his hand to condense a ball of flame to illuminate the surroundings, a ball of white light suddenly lit up in front of him, and soon it would be... The entire cave was lit up.
Under the illumination of a high-level luminous pearl released by Luo Tongzhou, Song Qingming could clearly see where the three of them were. It was a fully enclosed cave that had been embedded in the mountain. There were no entrances or exits around it, and even a slight breeze could be felt. Less than.
There was nothing extra in the cave, except for a teleportation array with a radius of five to six feet in the middle.
"Intermediate Teleportation Array". Seeing this array, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of surprise. Unexpectedly, in this inconspicuous Taoist temple in the mountains, there was actually an "intermediate teleportation array" hidden in it that could teleport tens of thousands of miles. Array".
You must know that the cost of setting up an "intermediate teleportation array" requires at least more than 100,000 spiritual stones. It is simply difficult for ordinary sect forces to bear such a large expense.
In the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, those who can arrange and use this kind of "intermediate teleportation array" are basically forces above the Nascent Soul stage. The Xiaoyao Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has only arranged an "intermediate teleportation array" in the most important Guiyunfang in the north of the sect.
Although he had heard about following Feng He in the past few days and knew that the "Juxian League" behind Luo Tongzhou was not an ordinary force, when he saw them arrange an "intermediate teleportation array" in such a place, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh at the other party's wealth.
Just as Song Qingming was sighing in his heart, Luo Tongzhou had already taken out two medium-grade spirit stones and placed them on one side of the teleportation array.
After getting ready, Luo Tongzhou reminded Feng He and Song Qingming to walk onto the teleportation array. He immediately cast a spell to start the teleportation array while standing aside. After the array started running, Luo Tongzhou quickly walked into the array.
Soon a white light flashed, and after a dizzy spin, Song Qingming and the other two reappeared in a very empty hall.
"Please come in, fellow Taoists!" After looking at Song Qingming who was still in a daze, Luo Tongzhou reminded them and immediately led the way down the teleportation array.
Under the leadership of Luo Tongzhou, Song Qingming and the others came to another place deep in the mountains that looked similar. However, compared to the desolate area near the Taoist temple before, this place was very lively and full of people. There were also many cultivators and mortals living in the town.
In addition, Song Qingming also clearly felt that the spiritual energy of this floating cloud was very rich, just like the "Xianyuan City" he had been to before. Obviously, there should be a spiritual vein of level 4 or above nearby.
After arriving here, Luo Tongzhou and Shouxian greeted a Jindan cultivator near the teleportation array, and then brought Feng He and Song Qingming to the highest mountain nearby.
"You two Daoists, please wait here for a moment. I will inform the Supreme Elder of the alliance about this matter first, and then arrange the matters of the Daoist's retreat cave."
"Daoist, you can go and do your work. We two will wait for you here!" After responding to the other party, Feng He immediately found a clean stone and sat down on the spot.
The two waited here for about an incense stick of time. Luo Tongzhou returned here with another Jindan cultivator. Then the two of them took Feng He and Song Qingming to a cave with relatively sufficient spiritual energy, which was enough for retreat and breakthrough to the Yuanying realm.
"Daoist Feng, this is the location of the headquarters of our alliance. You can rest assured to retreat here. As long as my Juxian League is still there, no one will come here to disturb you.
I still have some things in my hands, so I will leave first. If you two Daoists need anything in the future, you can tell Junior Brother Hu." After Luo Tongzhou finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them, and then stepped on the escape light and left here directly.
For more than a year, Feng He and Song Qingming lived in the headquarters of the "Juxian League" to prepare for his next retreat to form a Nascent Soul.
During this period, Song Qingming also left here several times to go to the larger fairy city markets such as "Xianyuan City" to help Feng He collect some spiritual objects needed for the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul.
The location of the headquarters of the "Juxian League" is very mysterious. After Song Qingming and Feng He arrived here, they found that there were powerful restrictions within a hundred miles around the mountain. Without the guidance of their own people, others could not leave here alone.
Every time Song Qingming went out, he basically had to go through the teleportation array inside the "Juxian League" to go outside.
Only through the effective distance of the teleportation array can it be judged that the location of their headquarters should still be in Ningzhou, and it is impossible to know where the place he has been to is.
After staying in the "Juxian League" for a while, Song Qingming slowly learned about this somewhat mysterious business alliance, and also knew why Feng He chose to find them to protect him to condense his Nascent Soul.
The "Juxian League" is a very mysterious force in the Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.
On the surface, they seem to be just an ordinary chamber of commerce organization. There are many commercial shops in the Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world that they secretly control or directly participate in. The Tianbao Chamber of Commerce that Song Qingming has visited is one of them.
But what many people don't know is that behind these shops there is also the "Juxian League", a very powerful immortal cultivation organization, and the projects they operate are far more than what is on the surface.
Organizing those underground auctions that are not visible in the immortal cultivation world, hiring killers, buying and selling intelligence, and selling some spiritual objects that come from shady sources, protecting some cultivators with questionable identities from breaking through realms, etc.
These things are difficult to do outside, as long as you can afford the spirit stones, the "Juxian League" can take them all. The "Juxian League" can also be regarded as one of the most famous underground immortal cultivation forces in the Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.
Because of this, Feng He chose to find them during his retreat to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Although the spiritual stones needed to be spent in the "Juxian League" are much more than in the "Xianyuan City", at least there is no need to worry about too many security issues.
Unlike the "Tiandan League" and other immortal cultivation forces that Song Qingming has seen, the "Juxian League" is mainly engaged in things that are not allowed to be seen in the light.
Although these people in their organization look no different from ordinary cultivators, their style of doing things is to only consider benefits and will not talk to you too much about the bottom line of benevolence and morality.
Therefore, underground immortal cultivating forces like the "Gathering Immortal Alliance" are extremely disliked by the major immortal cultivating sects in the Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivating world. They are also very careful when walking outside and do not dare to reveal their identities in front of others easily.
Even in many shops that have been secretly controlled by them, the people inside do not know the existence of this organization. Only when the organization needs it, the core monks from the alliance will be sent to take over the management.
"Tianbao Chamber of Commerce" is an important stronghold of the Juxian Alliance that has been operating in Xianyuan City for thousands of years. Although the foundation-building monks above the storekeeper are all internal members of the Juxian Alliance, those store clerks in the Qi Refining Period are actually not I don’t know the true identity of this store.
After more than a year of careful preparation, Feng He, who had adjusted his condition and prepared everything, finally activated the restriction at the entrance of the cave and began to retreat to the Nascent Soul realm.
After Fenghe went into seclusion, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to leave. He found a cave in a nearby mountain and lived there. It was not until he practiced in seclusion for a period of time and saw that the situation at Fenghe had stabilized that Song Qingming took the initiative. left here.
——
Break it out of context.
Ten years later, next to a high mountain to the west of the "Juxian Alliance" main altar, in the sky that was originally clear, the sky suddenly changed and a group of black clouds gathered, directly covering the entire mountain top, covering up the original daylight instantly. It became like night.
The mortals and low-level monks who were near the mountain were instantly attracted by such a shocking vision of heaven and earth. Just as everyone was discussing, several rays of light suddenly flew from high in the sky and stopped at these people. of the head.
"Everyone, please enter the mountain protection formation immediately. You are not allowed to stay outside at will, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
After hearing the lectures of several high-level monks in the sky, the crowd below began to surge up, and soon they all moved away from the vicinity of this high mountain.
After these people finished speaking, they glanced down and saw that no one was staying here, then turned around and quickly flew towards the side of the mountain.
After a while, these people arrived more than ten miles away from the distant mountains. Seeing the two figures already standing in the air in front of them, they hurriedly bowed their hands respectfully.
"Meet the Supreme Elder!"
The two people in front, a man and a woman, are both people with a cultivation level of Nascent Soul and above. Among them, the young man in white is a monk at the third level of Nascent Soul, and the other is a slightly older woman in yellow. It is higher, reaching the fifth level of Nascent Soul.
Seeing the few Jindan monks who had just arrived, the young man among the two people turned around and nodded slightly to say hello to them. The other woman ignored them and kept her eyes fixed on them. On top of the mountain.
"It seems that the little friend in seclusion on the mountain is about to start dealing with the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation. This is a rare opportunity for you, but don't miss it easily!"
Hearing what the young man said, Luo Tongzhou, who was standing in front, was slightly startled and asked quickly: "Uncle Zhang, how confident is this fellow Feng Daoist that he can survive this thunderstorm?"
"Haha! I can't say for sure, but the monks who can reach this point must be somewhat capable, and I guess they are half sure of it.
It's just that the monks who come to us to retreat to overcome the tribulation are basically people with shady backgrounds. Although we can provide them with a place of refuge, we must not interfere in the matter of overcoming the tribulation.
If he really died in a thunderstorm, it could only be considered his bad luck! "
After the man in white said hello to the woman in yellow beside him, he turned into a white light and disappeared. The woman in yellow stood there and looked at it for a while, and then also turned into a white light. Dunguang disappeared, leaving only Luo Tongzhou and the others standing there.
After the two Nascent Soul monks left, a dozen more Golden Core monks flew over soon, including Song Qingming, who happened to be practicing in retreat nearby. He suddenly sensed some changes in the aura outside and came out to check the situation.
Although Feng He did not ask Song Qingming to stay in the "Juxian Alliance" to help him protect the law after he retreated.
However, for fear of something going wrong on his side, Song Qingming did not dare to leave too far after Fenghe retreated. After only traveling around Ningzhou for a few years, he returned to the "Juxian Alliance" and stayed there ever since. I practiced in seclusion here.
Fortunately, because of Feng Hehua's spiritual stone, the people of the "Juxian Alliance" did not intentionally make things difficult for Song Qingming. They not only agreed to let him stay, but also allowed him to go out to buy spiritual objects when necessary.
However, if you want to leave here and use the teleportation array in the "Gathering Immortals Alliance", you still have to charge additional spirit stones, and the fee they charge Song Qingming for each teleportation is not low, so Song Qingming also spent a lot of spirit stones on it. stone.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, was this phenomenon caused by Daoist Feng?" After seeing Luo Tongzhou, Song Qingming quickly asked him.
Seeing this, Luo Tongzhou nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song. Judging from the situation, Fellow Daoist Feng has already successfully conceived a baby. As long as he successfully survives the thunder tribulation, he will be able to enter the Nascent Soul realm."
"Oh! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Luo, for your advice." Song Qingming responded with his hands raised, and like everyone else, he turned his gaze to the sky.
When Song Qingming heard the news that Feng He was about to start going through the Thunder Tribulation, he was excited but also slightly worried for him.
Unlike breaking through the Jindan realm, every cultivator who breaks through the realms above the Yuanying realm will encounter thunder tribulations from the heavens because they have absorbed too much of the heaven and earth's vitality at once.
There are six thunder tribulations for Yuanying cultivators. The first three are not very powerful, only equivalent to the full force of a general Jindan late-stage cultivator. Normal cultivators who are going through the tribulation can deal with them.
The last three thunder tribulations are much more powerful, and their power has reached the Yuanying level, and the power of each thunder tribulation will be a few points stronger than the previous one.
When ordinary cultivators go through the tribulation, they will ask for help from cultivators above the Yuanying, so that it will be safer.
However, the impact of this kind of thunder tribulation sent by the heavens is limited. It only slightly reduces the pressure of dealing with the thunder tribulation, and cannot completely help you pass the thunder tribulation 100%. If you want to successfully pass the tribulation, you still have to rely on yourself.
After Song Qingming and others waited at the foot of the mountain for four or five days, as the rolling noise of the black clouds gathered in the sky became louder and louder, a thunder finally fell from the sky and instantly landed on the top of the mountain.
Seeing this lightning with amazing speed and power no less than the full-strength attack of a late Jindan cultivator, the Jindan cultivators with lower cultivation levels also showed a trace of horror on their faces.
Only a few late Jindan cultivators with higher cultivation levels like Luo Tongzhou remained calm and did not change their expressions.
After this attack fell from the sky, a golden light suddenly lit up on the top of the mountain, and then Feng He with a golden jade seal on his head flew into the air facing the lightning.
This lightning fell on the golden shield beside Feng He, and sparks flew fiercely at first, but it did not cause much damage to the golden shield, and it disappeared in the air soon.
However, before everyone could relax, thunder roared again in the sky, and soon another more powerful lightning fell, but it still did not penetrate the golden shield beside Feng He.
Until the third thunderbolt fell, the golden jade seal on Feng He's head was suddenly shattered into two halves by the lightning, and the shield beside him quickly disappeared.
Fortunately, in the golden shield, there was a white shield set up by Feng He using another defensive magic weapon to block the attack of the remaining lightning.
Seeing that his golden jade seal magic weapon had been destroyed by the third thunderbolt, Feng He had no time to feel sorry for his magic weapon. He waved his hand and immediately took out another green array disk and threw it directly into the air.
As Feng He played a set of spells in his hand, five golden lights appeared on the array disk, and instantly connected to the five array flags that had been arranged around, forming a semicircular white shield, protecting Feng He in it.
"It turned out to be the Tiangang Five Elements Array. No wonder this person has such confidence to deal with the Yuanying Thunder Tribulation alone!" After seeing the array on the top of the mountain light up, a Jindan late-stage cultivator in the crowd immediately exclaimed.
Song Qingming, who was standing by, also showed a hint of excitement when he saw the "Tian Gang Five Elements Formation" in front of him.
This third-level superior defense formation was set up by Feng He before he went into seclusion. However, this formation was not something he had, but something Feng He had prepared long ago.
Because there was no help from others, it took the two of them half a year to barely set up this formation.
Seeing this formation light up, Song Qingming was also looking forward to it. How powerful is this formation? Can it help Feng He deal with the next few thunder tribulations? (End of this chapter)
