Chapter 55: The Man in the Golden Mask

"I want a retreat place, and I ask the new empress to arrange it for me. Nozomi unceremoniously offered his request for help.

"Do you still want to retreat, don't you need us to help you find some help? Our sisters can't help, but at least we can hire them at a high price. Yan Yan wondered.

"Yes, their Nine Yao Star Officers do have a Nine Star Killing Array, which is very powerful. We can arrange a strong person for you to help you out. Although the Seven Soul Spirit Venerable powerhouses are very rare, it is inconvenient to come forward, but with our financial resources, it should not be a problem to hire some Six Soul Spirit Kings. "Fireworks also persuade.

"It's okay, I want to face my first head-on challenge on my own. Nozomi thanked him.

"Okay, I can give you access to my cultivation secret land, the center of the Frost Flame Immortal Realm, a place where you can accelerate your cultivation. One day of inner practice is equivalent to ten days of outer practice. "Flame Burn generously gave up his cultivation ground.

"There is one more thing I would like to ask Your Highness for help. For so long, Xi Zheng has also noticed that the three sisters of the Snow Girl Clan have no malice towards themselves and often help themselves, so Xi Zheng said unceremoniously.

"What's the busy?" asked Flame.

"I need five water-based dragon crystals, the more advanced the better. Nozomi said it directly.

"This should be easy, my snowy region is originally divided into four parts of the world. And now my eldest sister's family is dominant, and I don't dare to say how much wealth there is, but the treasury items are definitely a lot richer, and a few dragon crystals should not be difficult to find. ”

"Then I'll trouble you, in addition to the water-based dragon crystals, gold-based, fire-based, earth-based, thunder-based, and light-based dragon crystals can also help me find some if you have them, and I can exchange them for water-based elemental spirit sons. Nozomi said.

"Water Elemental Lingzi, my eldest sister's reward for you?" Yan Yan's eyes immediately fiery.

"Hmm. Xi Zheng agreed, it seems that the Empress of the Snow Land has already informed the two sisters of her own qiē.

"How many more do you have?" Yan Yan asked.

"Ten of them, I haven't used them. Nozomi replied.

"It just so happens that I have here the six ninth-order water-based dragon crystals that I have saved up by myself, and I originally kept them for my own slow refining, and you exchange them with me with the water-based elemental spirit son. I'll exchange two dragon crystals for one water spirit son. Yan Yan smiled happily.

"This ...... Yes. Xizheng readily agreed, and the two quickly exchanged.

"I don't understand, your eldest sister has a lot of money, why do you want to exchange water spirits with me, your eldest sister should be able to provide sufficient spiritual protection. Nozomi asked involuntarily.

"My eldest sister, in order to prevent us from being lazy, we need to collect a lot of spiritual objects ourselves. The eldest sister has a water elemental spirit mother, and she can mature nine water elemental spirit children once every thousand years. Therefore, if we are only given three elemental spirit children every thousand years, we are really not enough. Yan Yan explained with a smile.

"Don't you have a space where you can accelerate your cultivation, one day inside is equivalent to ten days outside, if you plant the water elemental spirit mother in it, won't you be able to get ten times as many elemental spirit children within a thousand years?"

"In historical records, anti-heaven artifacts are extremely rare, and the required environment is also a specific coincidence of existence. If the Elemental Spirit Mother is transplanted to my Frost Flame Fairyland, there are only three possible results: one is that the Frost Flame Fairyland loses the effect of gathering spirit acceleration, the second is that the Elemental Spirit Mother will wither and disappear, and the third is that both will die. Since ancient times, we can't have both, so it's better not to be greedy. Flame explained.

"Well, too, greed is unlimited. Xizheng agreed.

"You better hurry up and cultivate, this challenge should be taken extremely seriously. Flame reminded.

"Well, then bother. Xi Zheng followed behind Yan Ran, and Yan Ran led Xi Zheng into the special cultivation space in the center of the Frost Flame Fairyland.

As soon as he entered it, Xi Zheng could clearly feel the extremely rich water spirit qi inside. With Xi Zheng's current cultivation energy, there is no need to refine it at all, and the huge water spirit qi directly pours into Xi Zheng's body. Here, Xi Zheng remembered the illusion naturally formed by the golden spirit mother of the divine beast Jiang Liang Ye Shan at that time, and that illusion also had the effect of increasing the cultivation speed, and the environment it formed was also formed by the extreme purity of a certain element.

"You can cultivate here, and when it's dueling time, I'll send someone to inform you. Of course, they can be instructed here if they need anything. Yan Ran pointed to the two Snow Maiden maids and said to Xi Zheng.

"Thank you, it's just that I like to be quiet when I cultivate. Nozomi thanked him.

"Okay. Then be careful yourself. "Flame Ran Ping retired from the maid, and also planned to leave here to stay in Xi Zheng to cultivate by himself.

"By the way, big brother, don't you still have that ......" Yan Yan said to Xi Zheng with a smile.

"Yes, there are still seven water elemental spirit sons here, and the matter of exchanging dragon crystals will trouble you. Remember that the five dragon crystals of the gold, fire, earth, thunder, and light systems should be as advanced as possible, and each system should not exceed ten pieces. "Xi Zheng handed over the remaining seven elemental spirit sons to Yan Yan.

"I know, I'm Yan Yan, my brother can rest assured. Yan Yan grinned and led the seven elemental spirit sons to follow Yan Ran out.

As soon as they left, Nozomi began to feel stressed. The Nine Stars Killing Array, I have indeed seen it in the books, this kind of Killing Array is extremely subtle, both offensive and defensive, and can give full play to the strength of the nine people in the array, the overall strength is equivalent to the strength of the people in the formation plus the three souls, that is, if they exert the power of the formation at the peak of the five souls, it is equivalent to facing an Eight Soul Spirit Emperor.

"One soul is a power soul, two souls are dark souls, three souls are wind souls, four souls are wood souls, and five souls are water souls. Xi was thinking about how to break their Nine-Star Killing Array. His only chance was to kill one or two of the nine of them at the beginning, so that the Nine Stars Officer's Nine Star Killing Array was no longer complete, so that he could leave room in the array. But he is only five souls and five layers of heaven now, and the nine of them are all at the peak level of five souls and ten layers of heaven, and they are all people who are suffering from not being able to break through the bottleneck to six souls. So your chances of winning can be said to be very small.

"During this time, I want to try my best to break through to the Five Souls and Ten Heavens, so that the chances of winning are slightly greater. Xi Zheng analyzed it, and really couldn't think of a better way.

Once the mind is settled, the next thing is to cultivate. Since he had broken through the five souls of force, darkness, wind, wood, and water, the spiritual power control in Xizheng's body became smoother and smoother, and his cultivation methods began to change. Especially since breaking through the fourth soul of the wood system, Xi Zheng's refining spiritual power can become more fluid, Xi Zheng's legs can directly conjure countless roots, rooted in the depths of the earth, absorbing the pure spiritual power from the ground, and the body can also transform the trunks and branches of trees that can absorb and create spiritual power, plus the purification function of the Heavenly Spirit Ring he wears, and now the speed of cultivation is more than a hundred times faster than when he first came to the Desolate Spirit Star Domain to start cultivating. Although the cultivation speed has accelerated a lot, the spiritual energy and spiritual power required for cultivation to refine are also increasing exponentially. Therefore, the overall cultivation speed is not much faster. However, with the six ninth-order dragon crystals that Yan Yan exchanged for Xi Zheng, coupled with the rich water aura of the Frost Flame Fairyland, Xi Zheng's breakthrough through the layer boundary became a matter of course, but it only took nineteen days to break through to the tenth layer inside, and the energy contained in the six dragon crystals was all consumed. The body becomes as deep and broad as the sea, and as sharp and severe as a thousand-year-old iceberg. However, imprisoned by the curse of the innate waste, Xi Zheng couldn't break through the soul realm of five to six souls no matter how hard he tried. He used any way to attack the Six Souls Soul Realm, but the Soul Realm did not move at all. In the past, the soul realm could still have the slightest deformation, but now this six-soul soul realm is not damaged at all, and it is as stable as Mount Tai. Xi Zheng knew that he had entered the confinement of the common cultivation rules of this Desolate Spirit Star Domain, the barrier of the six souls.

Xi Zheng broke through the inside for two days, which is equivalent to twenty days outside, and the soul realm has not changed in the slightest, and this cultivation can only come to an end.

As soon as Xi Zheng stepped outside, he saw that the sky was full of dark clouds.

"Which bastard has come to our Frostflame Wonderland to survive the Soul Tribulation. "One of the Seven Soul Venerables, the director of the Frost Flame Wonderland, hurriedly ran over.

"It's you, Your Highness, our Frost Flame Wonderland can't withstand this powerful catastrophe. He saw that it was Xizheng's coming out that caused the catastrophe.

"You really want to destroy my Frost Flame Wonderland. In the distance, there was the faint angry sound of fireworks.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving the apocalypse. Xi Zheng responded, quickly carved out the space, and flashed away from the dimensional space in an instant.

"Second Majesty, why did this friend of yours cross the catastrophe again? But how do I feel that he is still a five souls? The Venerable asked puzzled.

"He didn't cross the soul tribulation, but the layer tribulation. Flame replied simply.

"Layer Tribulation? Is this a Layer Tribulation? It is even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation that I broke through the Spirit Venerable. The Venerable Man shuddered.

This is the first time that Xi Zheng has crossed the layer tribulation independently, in the past, it was the nine-colored nine-leaf lotus that helped Xi Zheng shield the induction of the heavenly tribulation, and waited until he broke through the soul tribulation and experienced the baptism of the heavenly tribulation together. This time, there was no nine-colored nine-leaf lotus, so I could only survive the tribulation by myself, but I didn't expect this calamity to be so terrifying.

The shape of the Heavenly Tribulation was so vast that it really made Xi Zheng feel terrified. But just when the Heavenly Tribulation fell on Xi Zheng, Xi Zheng felt the obvious restlessness in the Tiancheng Spirit Ring, and when he looked inside, he didn't find anything. But to his great surprise, all the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation was swallowed up by the Tiancheng Spirit Ring, and it merged into the dark clouds floating in the space inside the Tiancheng Spirit Ring. While Xi Zheng secretly rejoiced, he found that this black cloud was the Heavenly Tribulation Cloud that surpassed the Spirit Emperor level caused by the last time he crossed the tribulation with Yan Ran and the Great Monk, and he didn't know if it had any impact on the Tiancheng Spirit Ring. It seems that the energy of this tribulation cloud has also been saturated, because in the second half, there is still about one-tenth of the thunder tribulation that cannot be absorbed, and it was introduced into the body by Xi Zheng and tempered the body.

By the time Xi Zheng returned to the Frost Flame Wonderland, Xi Zheng's whole person had been refreshed, full of energy and energy, completely different from other people who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Congratulations, and Shun Lì spent five layers of heaven. Flame Burn praised politely.

"I also have to thank Her Majesty the Empress for her help. Xizheng also thanked.

"You can consolidate it with me. Yan Ran said.

"Thank you, but I have one thing I would like to ask you about how this forced duel you customized ensures fairness on both sides. Nozomi asked, presumptuously.

"The challenger first stipulates the number of people, and the challenged party can organize its manpower to participate in the battle, and the number of people is not limited. This limits unreasonable challenges and gives the challenged party a chance. That's fair. Flame explained.

"If the challenger knows that there is only one person on the challenged side, there is no helper. That's not fair, isn't it? Xizheng asked again.

"I have a team of hires from the Spirit King to the Spirit Emperor in Tiecheng, of course, as long as you can afford it. Yan Ran said.

"You know I'm poor. Xizheng was speechless, such a price must be sky-high.

"The poor themselves can also be discounted, if you sell it to me..."Yan Ran paused, as if he found something wrong, blushed and hurriedly said: "If you sell yourself to our Iron City, I will give you a Spirit Emperor helper." ”

"I'm worth so much. Nozomi laughed.

"Do you need it?" asked Flames.

"No, I don't want too many people to know my true colors, can I?" asked Kisho.

"What do you want?"

"Can I wear this to enter?" Nozomi pulled out the exquisite golden streamer mask, which had been scraped from the mutated Dark Demon Poison Fairy.

"Yes, as long as both parties verify their identities on the spot, that's fine. But this is a time to make a name for yourself, and you really want to appear as a masked man?" said Yan Ran after understanding what Xizheng meant.

"Yes, please allow it. Nozomi affirmed.
