Chapter 1 The Sacred Island of the Immortal Clan
It's a world on the clouds.
The winding and undulating mountains are submerged by the magnificent sea of clouds layer by layer, and the peaks are hidden from time to time, which can't help but remind Chishui of the poem describing the Yellow Mountain, "The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, the sea of clouds dances in the mountains, the strange mountains and trees are wrapped in the clouds, and the beautiful scenery of the world returns to the Yellow Mountain." ”
This is not the Yellow Mountain, but its scenery is not inferior to the Yellow Mountain.
The arrival of Chishui is a coincidence, the sun has not yet set, and the glow is shining, giving the peaks a dazzling and colorful coat.
The strange stones and trees in the mountains, under the background of the erratic and ever-changing clouds and mist, become more confusing and mysterious.
This is a real Penglai wonderland.
Chishui bathed in the golden glow, squinting his eyes, looking at the palace-like buildings half-hidden in the mountains not far away, with green eaves and green tiles, and statues of mythical beasts of different shapes standing on the backbone, simple and realistic, and the form is free.
If you look closely, you can see a wisp of green smoke rising in the mountains and forests, and with the breeze, it gradually changes its form until it disappears completely......
Although it disappears, between the red water nose, you can faintly smell a trace of fragrance.
This fragrance is different from the aura, but it is extremely refreshing, Chi Shui only feels that every pore of the body is stretched, the five senses become more sensitive, and even the Yuan Shen in the body is also full of energy.
Being in such a beautiful place, Chishui couldn't move his feet for a while.
At this time, she was standing on a strange rock on the edge of the cliff of this mountain.
This strange stone, only two square sizes, is in a perfect circle, inverted mountain shape. It's like someone deliberately cut off the top of the mountain, turned it upside down, and suspended it here.
Chi Shui looked at it curiously, but he couldn't find out how this strange stone was hanging here out of thin air.
She looked at the mountain path in front of her, which was more than a foot lower than the strange rock, and was hesitating to follow the path when she saw two white-clothed monks rushing in the distance.
Chi Shui immediately didn't move, lowered his head and swept the black clothes he was wearing, hesitating whether to change his clothes, such a place, only in white clothes can live up to such a beautiful scenery.
As she hesitated, the two whitefriars were already standing in front of her.
One of the middle-aged monks with a deep face contour stepped forward and saluted: "This immortal friend is polite, in the next car Mingmu and Gongzhi Chunhui are waiting for the immortal friends who come up from the ascension platform, may I ask the surname of the immortal friend?" ”
Chishui was overjoyed, what the other party said was the language of her world, and she hurriedly returned the salute by drawing a scoop on the gourd, "The two fairy friends are polite, and their surname is Chi." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she keenly noticed a trace of contempt on the face of the young monk named Gongzhi Chunhui next to her.
Her face was not obvious, but her heart sank, and she probed the cultivation of the two, the middle-aged monk's cultivation was the highest, and it was the late stage of distraction, and the young man was in the middle stage of distraction.
Although she had just broken through and soared to this realm, she only had the cultivation of the early stage of distraction, but it would not make people look down on her so much, and the attitude of this young man made her feel a little unhappy after hundreds of years of treatment.
Ziche Mingmu obviously also noticed the expression of the monk next to him, smiled slightly awkwardly, his eyes crossed the bright red flame pattern between Chishui's forehead, and said, "The senior of Zongzheng knows that the Red Immortal Friend has arrived, and is waiting in the Yingxin Pavilion, please come with the next two people." ”
Chi Shui smiled back and said politely: "Please also ask the two immortal friends to lead the way." ”
Ziche Mingmu nodded secretly, turned around, and leaped towards the mountain.
Chi Shui glanced at Gongzhi Chunhui, and when he saw that he didn't move, he followed, and a trace of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.
One after the other, is this an escort of prisoners?
How can there be such a welcoming rule in the world?
The speed of Ziche Mingmu was not fast, Chishui accelerated forward, side by side with Ziche Mingmu, and smiled at the other party's slightly surprised face: "When I first arrived at the Holy Island, I didn't know much about the rules of the Holy Island, so I asked Ziche Fairy Friend to mention one or two." ”
After speaking, she obviously heard Gongzhi Chunhui behind her snort.
Ziche Mingmu didn't seem to hear anything, "Chixian Friend is polite, don't worry, what do Chixian Friends want to know, when you arrive at the Yingxin Pavilion, the seniors of the sect will explain to Chixian Friends one by one." ”
Chi Shui nodded slightly, making sure that he didn't seem to be well received, and stopped talking, his gaze moved down, and he began to admire the strange scenery below.
She sighed in her heart, the flowers and trees in the jungle below were of different shapes and vibrant, and they contained a huge amount of spiritual power.
Here, it's like grass on the side of the road.
Just now, she even saw the bud of a flower and plant tremble, and instantly turned into a graceful and beautiful woman, and Nana walked along the path.
The name of this holy island is indeed true.
Ziche Mingmu saw Chi Shui's expression of surprise or amazement or shock, and couldn't help but feel a touch of color, in the Holy Island, there are countless rare and exotic beasts, how can a mere nether monk usually see it?
The following are only inferior products in the Holy Island, the real best, which are specially taken care of by monks, and even these native monks are difficult to find a chance to see.
Gongzhi Chunhui in the back also caught up, standing on Chishui's left hand side, with a lack of interest and impatient expression.
The anger in Chishui's heart had long since dissipated, and he had given up his general knowledge with this person.
If others don't cultivate well, that's someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with her.
Perhaps in order to show the newcomers the extraordinary strength of the Holy Island, Ziche Mingmu and the two took Chishui and flew around the entire mountain for most of the circle, which greatly opened Chishui's eyes before stopping in front of a pavilion.
This pavilion is divided into two floors, located in the middle of the mountain, with warped cornices, extremely majestic. The quaint color paint, the rather heavy door is half-open and half-closed, there is a horizontal plaque hanging above, the three big characters of the Yingxin Pavilion are written in the book, the font streamer is flickering, constantly changing, it is the inscription of the god that Chishui has learned.
The three of them landed in front of the pavilion, and Ziche Mingmu waited until Chishui finished looking at it before making a gesture to invite in the door, "The senior Zongzheng is inside, please let the red immortal friends go in by themselves." ”
Chi Shui faced him and saluted gratefully, "Thank you for leading the way, there will be a period later." ”
"There will be a date later." The car returned the curtain.
Chi Shui glanced at Gongzhi Chunhui next to him again, and then walked generously into the pavilion.
Ziche Mingmu didn't frown at Gongzhi Chunhui until Chishui's figure disappeared: "This is the task assigned to us by the Zongzheng seniors, you better restrain it a little." ”
Gongzhi Qin Hui clasped his hands around his chest, his thin lips hooked up with contempt, and said, "But a little monk who has evolved from a lowly human in the Nether Realm, why should he care? The powerhouses of the Crossing Continent are like clouds, not to mention that she is just a woman, I am afraid that it will not be long before she disappears from this world, and there will not be even a bone left. ”
Ziche Mingmu shook his head, "This is too much"
"Why is Brother Ziche doing this? It's not that you don't know that a monk like her who has risen from the Nether Realm has not twenty but fifteen every year, but after two thousand years, if you look at it, how many monks can break through from the distraction period to the void transformation period? There may not be one in a thousand. Gongzhi Chunhui's face was full of disdain.
If Chishui sees it, he will definitely not be angry again. Compared with now, the Gongzhi Chunhui that Chishui saw before was already extremely polite.
Ziche Mingmu also knew that what Gongzhi Chunhui said was the truth, and it was irrefutable, but he still couldn't help but say: "Gongzhi junior brother, you can't cover the whole thing, but I think this female cultivator is a little different." ”
Gongzhi Chunhui's eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised.
Ziche Mingmu said: "You have just come, I don't understand, I have been here for hundreds of years, and there are more than a thousand Nether monks who have greeted me, although those monks are extremely polite to us, but their true nature can still be seen between their eyebrows, most of them are very self-controlled, arrogant and unsociable, in fact, their strength is extremely weak and vulnerable. But this nun is slightly different, can you see the spiritual power pattern between her eyebrows? It was the contract pattern of the Sikong Clan's beast repellent. ”
"But she doesn't have the surname Sikong." Gongzhi Chunhui reminded.
Ziche Mingmu nodded, "I also don't understand this, and there is one more point." He looked up at the plaque, "Have you ever noticed her gaze at the plaque, calm and unrippling, as if she recognized the words on it?" ”
Gongzhi Chunhui was surprised and retorted: "Impossible. ”
After he learned the nun's surname, he was no longer interested, and he had not noticed such details, "Maybe she was just pretending to be calm, so that I would not wait to look down on her." ”
Ziche Mingmu thought about it, but still said: "This is unlikely, her performance along the way, it can be seen that she doesn't care too much about our attitude." ”
Gongzhi Chunhui thought about the previous scene for a while, and the female cultivator's expression was quite rich along the way, "Perhaps, it's because of the special gravitational pull of the words on the horizontal plaque that she doesn't dare to look closely." ”
Ziche Mingmu muttered, "What you said is not impossible, but I have greeted so many monks, and she reacted most calmly to this horizontal plaque. ”
Gongzhi Chunhui glanced inside the gate, "Brother Ziche, you must have thought too much." You know, this text is a divine inscription, and it can only be learned by the monks who have been left on the Holy Island when they get the opportunity, and where did the nun come from the Nether Realm to learn it? ”
Ziche Mingmu also felt that the other party was reasonable, and after thinking for a long time to no avail, he sighed: "Maybe I really think too much for my brother." ”
Gongzhi Chunhui was not optimistic about that female cultivator, and he was impatient with this topic, and when he saw Ziche compromising in the open air, he said: "Brother Ziche, I'll go back later, although this is an idle job, but the reward is not much, I should step up my cultivation and leave this place as soon as possible." ”
Ziche Mingmu said: "Although the reward is not much, being able to stay on the Holy Island is already a great creation for us, not to mention anything else, just the aura on this Holy Island is much purer than below, which is extremely beneficial to our cultivation." ”
When Gongzhi Chunhui heard this, his eyes moved slightly, "Brother Ziche should still look forward, I don't know how many advantages and differences are on the holy island, why keep guarding this lonely idle errand, if you have the opportunity to be able to invest in the seat of that senior, not to mention the mere aura on this holy island, even all kinds of precious elixirs are also innumerable, if you can get a word of guidance from your senior, it is especially better than you practicing in retreat like this for a hundred years." ”
When Ziche Mingmu heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "How can those seniors be so easy to enter?" ”
He didn't say it, it was this idleness, and it was also their family who spent a lot of effort and nearly half of their savings to let him squeeze out other competitors and get this place.
Gongzhi Chunhui was noncommittal, his purpose was to wait here, and then put himself under a certain senior when he saw the opportunity, and this position was just his pedal.
It's not a good thing for Ziche to compete with him in the open curtain, and he is happy to have one less competitor.
Therefore, he did not persuade again, the two of them did not say more, and with a flash of inspiration, they fled to the jungle next to them.
Chi Shui had just stepped into the welcome pavilion, and his figure shook and appeared in a reception room.
She looked up and saw that directly in front of her sat a young monk in white.
This man looked about thirty years old, although he was kneeling, his spine was straight, exuding an invisible majesty, his face was upright, his face was solemn, and the moment Chishui appeared, he looked at her position, his eyes were a little narrow, his gaze was deep and sharp, with scrutiny, and there was a faint pressure.
Chi Shui thought of the black clothes on his body, he was a little cramped, and paused for a moment before stepping forward to salute: "Junior Chi Shui pays a visit to the senior Zongzheng. ”
The senior of the sect only glanced at her, his gaze returned to peace, and he gestured to the side: "No courtesy, you can reach the Holy Island, it is a chance, if you have any doubts, it is not too late to sit down and talk." ”
Chi Shui thanked her, and when she saw that there were two positions on the left and right, she picked the position of the lower head on the left and sat down upright like the predecessors of Zongzheng.
It wasn't until she sat down that the sect leader asked with a slight smile, "This is the Immortal Clan's Holy Land, have you ever heard of it before?" ”
Chishui honestly shook his head and replied no.
Zongzheng's predecessor's face remained unchanged, and he explained: "Don't mind, this seat will ask this because there are monks in the upper realm who go to the lower realm, and some monks will worship the monks of the upper realm as teachers because of fate, and if you know more about this place, there is no need for this seat to say more." You don't know it, but the throne is slowly coming to you. ”
Chi Shui hurriedly said respectfully: "Listen to the teachings of the seniors. ”
The senior Zongzheng was very satisfied with Chishui's attitude, and said slowly: "This is the Immortal Clan's Holy Island, and this realm is called the Tribulation Continent, do you know what it means?" ”
Chi Shui replied: "But the monks in this realm, every time they break through, they have to send thunder from the sky? ”
Senior Zongzheng bowed slightly, "Exactly." The realm of immortal monks is divided into three levels: the distraction period, the void transformation period, and the return period. The thunder of the distraction period is three, and the name is three turns of quenching thunder. The thunder of the void period is divided into six paths, which are called sixfold purple fire thunder. The thunder tribulation of the first phase is nine paths, and the name is Jiuxuanming Wulei. If there is a great creation, and it can be greatly ascended, it is necessary to cross the ninety-nine eighty-one Tiangang Yin Fire Thunder. ”
Chi Shui couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart just when she heard the names of those thunderstorms, she glanced at her weak little body, and thought that she might be struck by thunder at any time in the future, and she wanted to cry without tears.
Senior Zongzheng didn't know what she was thinking, and continued: "Due to the lack of spiritual power resources in the Nether Realm, although the Heavenly Dao exists, it cannot be condensed into an entity Thunder Tribulation, therefore, although your lifespan has increased by two thousand years when you break through to the Distraction Period, you still need to pass through the three turns of Quenching Gold Thunder to be considered a true Distraction Period Cultivator, and this Thunder Tribulation has been postponed to a hundred years later. ”
"What?" Chi Shui suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes widened, "Wait, this tribulation thunder is counted from the time of breakthrough to the distraction period?" ”
"It's nature." The senior of Zongzheng may have seen too many monks from the Nether Realm, and replied: "Only after the local monks have passed the three turns of the Quenching Golden Thunder can they break through to the distraction stage. ”
When Chi Shui heard this, her scalp suddenly went numb, which means that if she can't withstand those three thunder strikes, her lifespan will only be a hundred years?
Senior Zongzheng saw that her face was constantly changing, and knew that she needed time to digest, so he didn't say anything more.
After a few breaths, Chi Shui finally regained his composure and asked, "Senior, what skills do you have when you cross the tribulation?" ”
Seeing that Chishui had accepted this information so quickly, Senior Zongzheng deliberately glanced at her before saying, "At the time of the tribulation, the power of each thunder was different, the first thunder was the least powerful, and the last thunder was the most powerful. You can use all the methods you can think of to resist the thunderstorm, and one thing to note is that the first thunder is usually received with the body, and if it is really bearable, it is not too late to use external methods. Do you know why? ”
Chishui shook his head.
Senior Zongzheng continued: "There are two reasons, one is that if you can use the ontology to receive the Heavenly Thunder, the powerful energy contained in the Heavenly Thunder will have an extremely strong transformation effect on itself. Second, if an external force is borrowed, the power of its heavenly thunder will also be increased accordingly. ”
Chi Shui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "If the tribulation fails, what will be the consequences?" ”
Zongzheng's predecessor replied in a deep voice: "The first consequence is that the soul is scattered, and the second consequence is that the body is destroyed, and the original god is preserved, either take it away or re-enter the reincarnation." ”
This consequence was too heavy, and Chi Shui had no clue for a while, so she had to turn to the question she had been wondering about before, "Senior, junior is now an immortal clan?" ”
She was a little weak after asking, and she felt that this question was a little weird, and she almost didn't bite her tongue.
The senior Zongzheng was also slightly stunned, and said with a slight smile: "You can break through to the distraction period, and your body has been tempered by spiritual power, and you have already broken away from the mortal womb of the flesh, molded into an immortal body, and was sent to the Holy Island of the Immortal Clan by the Heavenly Dao, there is no doubt that you are an immortal." ”
Chi Shui smiled awkwardly, muttering to himself in his heart, it turns out that she is no longer human?
The senior Zongzheng said: "Speaking of this, this seat will tell you about the six clans in this realm, which can also be called the six realms. ”
Seeing Chishui listening carefully, he nodded slightly, "The six clans in this realm are: the Immortal Clan, the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan, the Ghost Clan, and the Gengsang Clan. The six clans all have their own strong people, which are the six paths, so they can be called Taoist friends, and I am equivalent to a person who cultivates immortals, and can be called immortal friends. ”
I see
That's why the two monks just now called her Immortal Friend.
Zongzheng's predecessors frowned solemnly, and said with a straight face: "Among them, the way that the monks of the three clans of immortals, humans, and demons call the way is the right way. And the way that the demons, ghosts, and Gengsang monks call is heresy. In the future, if you walk in this realm, if you encounter an evil monk, you must kill them with all your might. ”
When Chi Shui heard this, he was a little dazed, not to mention that there are any strong people in the human race who can compete with the cultivators, it is the Gengsang clan with an unfamiliar name, she has no concept at all, and why is the demon clan divided into the right path, isn't it that the human and the demon are not separated?
Her mind was full of question marks, but she didn't know where to ask for a while, so she heard the senior Zongzheng say again: "You must keep this in mind, you must know that even if you don't kill them, if they know your whereabouts, they will chase you with all their might." Therefore, if the other person's cultivation is lower than yours, you must not be soft-hearted, lest you leave a calamity and harm others and yourself. ”。.。
