The sky is covered with black clouds, the mountains on the earth are continuous, huge volcanoes are scattered among them, and the billowing black smoke pillars are like huge black pillars connecting the heavens and the earth, towering between the heavens and the earth.

The air was filled with a thick smell of sulfur, and rivers of fiery red magma meandered on the surface, emitting a sea of fiery fire.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky, illuminating the darkness for a moment, and in an instant, it leaped over a large number of mountains and rushed towards the depths of the endless fire abyss.

Running sleepless day and night, Zhao Sheng simply compressed the sixteen-day journey to nine days, and at this time he was close to the ruins.

But after so many days, Wuzhiqi, who had only one head left, had also become dying, and his soul was almost in a coma.

If it was in the outside world, Wuzhi Qi, who was a powerful person in the Merge Realm, would never deteriorate to this extent.

However, due to the special laws of the Burial Immortal Ruins and the multiple influences of the harsh environment, as a result, a dignified combined realm power fell into a near-death state in just ten days.

That is, Zhao Sheng's "benevolence and righteousness", if he were replaced by other divine beast messengers, he might have bad intentions.

Half a day later, a flash of lightning fell on a clearing on the shore of the magma lake, and the light flashed, revealing Zhao Sheng's figure.

At this moment, he held Wuzhiqi's head in his hand, looked up ahead, and happened to see a vertical line suddenly cracking in the air from the sky, and quickly turned into a gap in light, opening to both sides, forming a portal.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng strode in.

……

It's only been half a year since I left, but I'm back like a world away.

There are many shops in the market, the crowd is bustling, and the sound of selling and bargaining is endless.

The pedestrians who come and go, most of them are gloomy and introverted, and their bearings are solemn, like old devils who are deep in the city.

As soon as Zhao Sheng stepped into the Fang City, he immediately became the attention of the public, and everyone turned their eyes to him, and pedestrians along the way hid on both sides and took the initiative to get out of the way.

Zhao Sheng walked into the street calmly and walked towards Baicaotian.

At this moment, he only felt a light in his hand, and Wuzhiqi, who was originally dying with his eyes closed, suddenly flew into the air, his eyes suddenly opened, and two long divine lights shot out in an instant.

Then, the person said aloud with great gratitude: "Senior Brother Kui Niu, this life-saving grace, Zhong is unforgettable! and in the future, it will be ten times as rewarded. Zhong urgently needs to repair his body, and he can't talk to his junior brother for the time being. I hope that my junior brother will forgive me."

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately said, "Senior Brother Wuzhiqi is serious! The most important thing now is to heal my brother's injuries as soon as possible. The wine can be drunk at a later date."

"Zhong went to heal first. After the injury is healed, you and I will go to Xian Yutian without getting drunk."

Zhao Sheng said with a smile: "A word is a certainty, don't get drunk!"

Wuzhi Qi nodded at him, instantly turned into a ray of water, flew into the Baicao Heavenly Gate in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.

After Zhao Sheng saw the other party disappear, he thoughtfully withdrew his gaze and swept his gaze across the entire street.

In the next second, his eyes suddenly froze, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and then he took a step forward and came to a stall not far away.

The owner of the stall is wearing a Ten Thousand Beasts robe, with dark skin and an honest face, it is Bi Jie, a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Immortal Sect.

"Senpai, you're back?" Bi Jie hurriedly stood up and saluted with a happy face.

"Well, did they ask you to bring a message or two?" Zhao Sheng was too lazy to speak, and asked straight to the point.

"Yes, Shi Bozu has already entrusted me to send you a few jade slips for photos. But I can't see you for a long time, so I've been delaying until now."

As he spoke, Bi Jie hurriedly took out three milky white jade slips from his sleeve and handed them over respectfully.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately took a photo of the jade slip, and released several wisps of origin spiritual consciousness to probe into it at the same time, and suddenly countless sounds and pictures flooded into his mind.

One breath,

Two breaths,

three-breath,

Zhao Sheng's mood was surging, his mood changed from excitement to joy, gradually became low and gloomy, and finally gave birth to a faint regret.

"The Pillar Realm...

Has it declined to that point? It seems that I have to go back as soon as possible, and maybe there will be a turnaround......

Zhao Sheng muttered to himself, and suddenly crushed one of the photographic jade slips, and then put the remaining two into the Sumeru space.

Bi Jie observed the words and expressions on the side, and faintly noticed that Senior Zhao didn't seem to be in high spirits, so he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he had to wait silently for the seniors to ask.

However, Zhao Sheng didn't ask him what he meant, just took out a few blank jade slips and poured them into the jade slips in front of him.

After a while, he handed over these forbidden jade slips to Bi Jie, and repeatedly told him to hand over the things to Zhao Xuanjing as soon as possible.

In a sense, the value of these jade slips is incalculable.

The reason is very simple, the jade slip not only records all of Zhao Sheng's comprehension of the Five Elements, Thunder, Time and Space, Light and Darkness and other Great Dao laws, but also attaches a corresponding high-level cultivation technique at the end, from the Qi Refining Realm to the Returning to the Void Realm.

It can be said that any jade slip can create a large-scale immortal cultivation force, and it can also be used as a treasure to suppress luck.

Zhao Sheng should not have handed over such a heavy treasure to Zhao Xuanjing through the hands of others.

However, the distance between the Taisu Spirit Realm and the Taiyi Spirit Realm was too far, even in terms of the time and space of the Void Realm, the separation between the two realms was at least hundreds of thousands of years.

In this worldly space, this number would be two orders of magnitude larger.

The journey he embarked on on the way home was destined to be full of difficulties and dangers, and he might encounter accidents along the way.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to send the jade slip in advance, so as not to leave regrets in the end.

Bi Jie was burdened with a heavy responsibility, so he simply didn't even set up the stall, and after confessing to Zhao Sheng, he immediately returned to the mountain gate.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly when he saw this, and soon walked along the street, sometimes passing by a stall, he would also exchange one or two treasures.

However, at this time, his vision has already become extremely high, and it is difficult for ordinary treasures to enter his eyes, only some unknown strange things, high-level heaven and earth spiritual objects, law crystals, and treasures carrying the Tao... and space-time treasures to touch his heart.

Of course, if there are high-level immortal cultivation exercises for sale, such as the true scriptures that go straight to the void or even a higher realm.

Zhao Sheng is also extremely interested in them, but the probability of their appearance is outrageously low, and even if one or two similar scriptures appear, there is more than ninety percent probability that they are fake.

About two hours later, Bi Jie's figure reappeared in the market.

He quickly found Zhao Sheng, who was wandering around, and silently gave him a jade slip.

Zhao Sheng took a look, then put the jade slip into the bottom of his sleeve, and then rewarded the other party with a superb spirit stone.

After sending Bi Jie away, he deliberately stayed in the Fang City for a while, but he was never summoned by the Immortal Monarch, let alone the other disciples of the Divine Beast.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng seemed to have something in common, and after smiling, his figure disappeared from Fang City out of thin air.

……

Canglang cave sky, golden wind and jade dew valley.

Deep in the cave, a secret room is shrouded in a layer of colorful enchantments, and the light emitted by the enchantment illuminates the quiet room.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air and quietly fell to the floor of the secret room.

Zhao Sheng looked at the enchantment around him, his eyes were suddenly full of exhaustion, the front and back were not more than a year, but he almost died several times in the middle, and now he has returned to the present world, which is really embarrassing.

rumble

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in his body, and streams of incomparably pure heaven and earth aura suddenly emerged from his limbs, and the aura was mixed with wisps of high-grade source qi, which surprised him.

As the divine thoughts swept all over the body, countless heaven and earth spiritual energy were transformed into drops of "mana", which then merged into all parts of the body, and most of the mana flowed into the dantian qi sea, making the cultivation improve little by little.

Those high-level source qi transformed more origin "mana", as if rain fell into the parched land and merged into the depths of billions of yuanyuan.

This continuous refining process lasted for nine days and nine nights, and after the refining was completed, Zhao Sheng's cultivation actually reached the level of returning to the void in one go

period, which directly saved him thirty years of penance.

After being promoted and returning to the void, it is not uncommon for immortal cultivators to cultivate more and more slowly and arduously, often trapped in the same realm for hundreds or thousands of years, and even trapped here for the rest of their lives.

Because when it comes to returning to the virtual realm, the amount of aura in the outside world is no longer important, what matters is how much I perceive the laws of the Great Dao, and how well I fit with the Great Dao I have built.

If the comprehension and fit are insufficient, their cultivation will stop at the current realm forever, after all, returning to the void realm is the second step of the nine steps of the Great Dao, and this step is ten times more demanding for the cultivator.

According to his personal understanding, since returning to the virtual realm, every breakthrough in the realm has undoubtedly been a "break and then stand".

The so-called "breaking and then standing" does not refer to specific cultivation, but refers to the "breaking and then standing" in the Tao, that is, a deeper and more updated understanding of the laws of the Great Dao.

So far, Zhao Sheng has already formed his own practice style, and he has transformed his own Taoist "breaking and then standing" into a gradual process of changing the true text of the Dao of Thunder.

Since ancient times, the only avenue has thousands of texts!

From the moment I realized the first thunder dao to the present, this "thunder" pattern has been "transformed" five times in a row.

In other words, Zhao Sheng has fully mastered the true text of the five "thunder" characters. Each of them is different, but they all belong to a trace of the "embodiment" of the law of the Great Thunder.

It can be said that now, as long as there is enough high-level source qi, Zhao Sheng can improve his cultivation to the fifth level of returning to the void in one breath.

It's just that because the time to break through and return to the void is too short, he doesn't want to be too "conspicuous", so he is not in the slightest hurry to improve his cultivation.

When he set foot on the way home, it was not too late for him to speed up his cultivation.

In addition, as a symbol of the materialization of mana, the golden muscle and jade bone are also an important symbol of the cultivation of returning to the void and half immortals, and each evolution of it means that the person has made great progress.

Zhao Sheng's cultivation is only a matter of emptiness, and the body of the golden muscle and jade bone can be a start, but he can't see too many miracles, only the brilliance of his will is seven or eight times brighter than when he turned into a god realm.

……

Roar~

Three years later, a dull roar suddenly sounded from the secret room, and the void was flooded with "ripples", followed by a majestic and powerful violent aura that suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding enchantment to violently shake and flicker sharply, as if it could collapse at any time.

In the crackling sound of the floor cracking, a huge violent ape covered in golden hair, muscles curled and bent, and eyes shining stood proudly in the center of the secret room, pounding his fists against his bulging chest, and the sound of drums and roars like thunder.

Thousands of thunderbolts lingered around the violent ape's body, and between the swings of his fists, infinite power burst out, and the nearby void actually tore open dense spatial cracks.

This golden haired storm ape is one of Zhao Sheng's forms after transformation, and the source of its bloodline is the Sun Moon Divine Ape, one of the top ten divine apes in the world.

It is associated with psychic apes, six-eared macaques, snow-capped apes... Akajiri horse monkeys and other sacred apes are equally famous.

Although the divine ape bloodline in Zhao Sheng's body was very thin, it was enough to show some of the miracles of his ancestors.

What's more, the Sun Moon Divine Ape bloodline has unexpected benefits for the cultivation of the "Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Law", and the cultivation of the Immortal Law after the transformation is so fast that it is simply a thousand miles a day.

Recall that the Great Sage Ape Hong of Jinhong is a pure-blooded Akajiri horse monkey.

He also understood the reason why the immortal method was practiced quickly.

「... There are only three things you need to do for Ben Saint! Once you have done it, I will teach you an immortal method...... The first one went to the Taiqing Spirit Realm Innate Divine Continent...... After the deed is completed, I will teach you the "Infernal Wandering Heavenly Art......"

「... The second thing is that you need to find the bloodline of the ten great divine apes, preferably the pure-blooded ape clan, and at the very least, the second-generation half-blood. If you find any of the ten great apes. Try to get it into this realm as soon as possible. …… After the deed is completed, pass on your "Optimus One Breath Formula" of the Great Sage......

「…… This third thing is the easiest thing to ...... Build a temple to spread incense...... Pass on your "Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Method" in advance......"

Roar!

There was a constant roar in the secret room, and the cave mansion outside was faintly shaking, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere soon enveloped the Nuoda Cave Mansion, startling Dai Yiping, a white-haired old man who was guarding the cave mansion

The others went out one after another, and they visited the secret room where the master was retreating, and their faces were anxious.

However, the roar gradually subsided, the cave was quiet again, and the oppressive atmosphere quietly dissipated.

At this moment, a white auspicious cloud suddenly flew from the sky, and on it stood an old man with a clear crown of fairy wind bones.

In the blink of an eye, the auspicious clouds came to the sky above the Golden Wind Jade Dew Valley, and slowly fell to the open space in front of the valley master's cave.

The old man of Qingguan straightened his clothes, walked down the auspicious clouds slowly, stepped out, and instantly came to the door of the cave, and said loudly: "The younger generation is full of people, and today I will visit the gate of the mansion. I hope Uncle Shi will show up."

As soon as the words fell, the stone door in front of him opened without wind, and out of it came an old man with a mediocre appearance with a jade crown, not Dai Yiping or anyone.

When Dai Yiping saw someone coming, he was secretly surprised, and immediately smiled and said, "Yandaoyou, you are really here again. I'm very sorry, but my master is still in retreat, so it's inconvenient to see guests right now."

The old man Qingguan didn't care, and still said politely, "Since that's the case, Yan will come back next time. By the way, this is a piece of my heart, and I hope Brother Dai will accept it."

After speaking, this person took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and solemnly stuffed it into Dai Yiping's hand.

Dai Yiping smiled bitterly and excused himself again and again, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it with a thick face, and at the same time did not forget to smile bitterly: "Senior Brother Yan, with the relationship between your ancestor and the master, why should it be like this."

"Well, that's a bad word!" After hearing this, the old man of Qingguan said so.
