The dark clouds in the sky are circling, and the thunder is full, but it is not blatant crackling, but with the song and rhyme of the cave generals, bit by bit, the twelve iron nails in the altar are refined.

The iron nails glowed with dazzling light, and Zhao Huang seemed to be standing still, but in fact, the fractal changes all around, walking around the altar, strategizing the evil qi, and using the profound and mysterious great mana to control the swift and incomparable power of thunder.

The iron nail was gradually refined and ignited, and when the deed was completed, the iron nail itself was eroded by the power of thunder and directly turned into a puddle of residue.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Huang had no choice but to restrain his mana, let the power of the thunder disperse back to heaven and earth, the thunder rumbled in the clouds, the heavy rain sprinkled down the mountains and rivers, and the generals returned to the cave.

Removing the mandala ritual, Zhao Xiao sighed secretly, flew away, and returned to the Valley of Flowers after a while.

Seeing that his face was not happy, Miao Sara asked, "Failed again?" ”

Zhao Xiao nodded slightly: "It seems that the refining of the God Killing Nail is more difficult than I want, I originally wanted to start with the Heavenly Thunder first, after all, I am also proficient in Thunder Arrows." As a result, the two sacrifices failed. ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Miao Sara said with relief: "Before you forced the Chihiro Snake back, he hasn't shown up for half a year, and those snake Luo clans have also hidden. ”

The trial of the battle in the mining village made Zhao Huang and Chihiro Snake know each other's strength, and neither dared to take the enemy lightly, but it made the depths of the southern soil temporarily calm.

During this time, Zhao Xiao was still focusing on refining the God Killing Nail, but the result was unsatisfactory, and he found that he was unable to incur the Three Tribulations.

And this is precisely because Zhao Huang now has the immortal realm of the law, heaven and earth, and there is no contradiction between the weather and the creation of heaven and earth, so the three disasters are far away.

For the first time, Zhao Huang was troubled that his cultivation was too profound, but whether it was his distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang or his teacher Zhang Duanjing, their cultivation was far from reaching the realm of incurring the three calamities, but they had all used rituals and rituals to mobilize disaster qi, which showed that there were still some subtleties that Zhao Huang could not fully comprehend.

Although he knew that the Qianxun Great Snake was contrary to the creation of heaven and earth, thus incurring the Star Tribulation, Zhao Huang himself was unable to do so.

But fortunately, Zhao Xiao is well-informed, so he can't figure it out and ask others.

"Three calamities?"

In the eastern Tuyang Lanze, Zhao Huang found the Yuanji Shuangzun who was suppressed here by himself, and Shen Zhenren and Gui Shaojun incarnated as boatmen and boat ladies to ferry the people, which was Zhao Xiao's punishment for the two of them, and it was also for them to accumulate merit.

"Not bad." Zhao Xiao sat on the boat and asked, "I heard that the true dragon flew to the Heavenly Gate, and almost without exception had to experience three calamities, so I wanted to inquire, what is the mystery?" ”

The couple glanced at each other, and Gui Shaojun took the lead in replying: "It is often extremely difficult for the world's races to transform into dragons, and it is necessary to seize the heavens and the earth to create and use them, especially the transformation of the living beings and creatures. ”

"I generally know this, it is to seize the heaven and the earth and create, how to use it specifically?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

Gui Shaojun hesitated slightly, but Shen Zhenren said: "The easiest way is to refine the inner pill or vitality essence of other demons. ”

Zhao Huang was silent for a while, and Shen Zhenren continued: "Zhao Daoyou is proficient in talismans, and he should know that the superior talismans can deduce objects and copy the true form, which is in line with the endless beauty of the Great Dao. But not everyone is as proficient in runes as Zhao Daoyou, since the deduction can't be deduced, then it will be reversed from the tangible and qualitative body. ”

Zhao Xiao understood: "And the inner dan not only contains the pure vitality of the demon essence, but also contains the change of how the demon can transcend the original body race. As long as you refine enough demon inner pills, not only will your cultivation mana be improved, but your comprehension of the evolution of living creatures will also be improved, and you will eventually transform into a dragon. ”

"Exactly." Shen Zhenren nodded cautiously.

"This kind of cultivation method is inevitably cold." Zhao Xiao frowned slightly.

Gui Shaojun didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Xiao, but said: "Although there is a Shuifu sect in the East China Sea, but the waters are vast, and there is no human law to control it, and the creatures of the water tribe cannot be counted. ”

"I see what you mean." Zhao Xiao said: "It's just that this kind of cultivation method is completely to rob the essence of heaven and earth for one's own use. It is normal for the creatures in the world to be born with heavenly killing, but if you want to ascend and transcend, you must return the past plunder, which is the reason why the true dragon has experienced the three calamities of the heavenly tribulation, this is the principle of nature, and no one can get rid of it. ”

"Exactly." Shen Zhenren turned to ask, "Zhao Daoyou has been in trouble recently?" ”

"What? Are you going to seek atonement? Zhao asked suddenly.

Shen Zhenren replied, "We are ignorant and offended, and we deserve to be punished." If Zhao Daoyou needs us to help, the two of us will never refuse. ”

Zhao Xiao suddenly laughed: "The two of you plus a group of East China Sea masters are not my opponents, why do you think you can help me?" ”

Shen Zhenren was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "We can ask the Heavenly Dragon Monarch to come down to help out." ”

Zhao Xiao's expression became subtle: "It seems that you are in Yanglanze, and you are not just driving a boat to ferry. ”

"I can't hide it." Shen Zhenren said: "When you Dragon Monarchs learned that the East China Sea was defeated, they had no intention of fighting against Zhao Daoyou, and they were also thinking about opening the Heavenly Court together. ”

"The real dragon is unruly and untamable, and you dragon monarchs will not be convinced." Zhao Huang smiled: "Take the initiative to show sincerity, I thought I would come to find you." Say, what are the conditions for you Dragon Monarchs? ”

Shen Zhenren said: "The Dragon Monarch hopes that the immortals of the Heavenly Court will release the restrained dragon species. ”

Zhao Xiao frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of immortals taming spirit birds and beasts, and even dragons and phoenixes." Shen Zhenren replied: "For example, the Xuanju who was a disaster in the lower realm back then was to accept a true dragon as a car. Because of the restraint of the immortal family, he had to encroach on the world together. ”

"What a last resort!" Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "In the past, the evil dragon was a disaster, even more than Xuan Ju, where he passed by the wind and waves, causing floods, and most of the killings caused by Xuan Ju were related to the evil dragon, which is why it attracted the same people from all over the world to work together." You must know that the battle was in the name of 'slaying the dragon', not out of thin air. ”

"The evil dragon was beheaded, and there is nothing to blame." Shen Zhenren said: "But in this case, we should seek a way to be at peace with each other." Zhao Daoyou is asking for a free life, and he doesn't want to be bound by others, let alone be willing to be a mount for others. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't respond immediately, he did hear that in the past, some immortal masters tamed spirit birds and beasts as mounts, and among them, dragon training was the highest level, which was even regarded as the magic of the immortal family, and Zhao Huang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But now Zhenlong came to the door, saying that he didn't want to ride for others, which gave Zhao Xiao a big problem.

The immortal dragon training thought it was a mount, this kind of thing was once praised as a beautiful talk, but it can be proved that the true dragon that soars is not an earthly cow and horse, and other true dragons may not be able to accept it, and even regard it as a shame.

"Not to mention that I haven't verified the Immortal Dao yet, why should I let the other Immortal Families release the Dragon Seed?" Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically.

Shen Zhenren replied, "That's what you Dragon Jun entrusted, and I didn't ask much about the reason. ”

Although Shen Zhenren didn't say it explicitly, judging from the fact that he knew that the immortals wanted to open up the heavenly court, he should be able to guess a little bit of the immortal family's mysteries.

"This matter is not up to me alone, so you can wait here for the time being." Zhao Xiao left an edict and said, "If I make a good decision, I will naturally inform you." ”

……

"Put the real dragon?"

In the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Jiang Yingke and Zhao Huang sat opposite each other, and the two of them enjoyed tea and flowers, in a leisurely manner. When Jiang Yingke heard Zhao Huang mention the requirements of the Dragon Monarchs, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"They haven't been planning for a day or two, and they know that they can't save people from us, so they plan to befriend you, the future Emperor. In this way, the Dragon Monarchs not only had a place in the Heavenly Court, but also multiplied their power because of the return of the dragons. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded slightly, but changed his words again: "It's just that what these dragon monarchs think in their hearts is all worldly power, and they regard Heavenly Court as a place to play with power tricks and the party to fight against differences." Even if you have the heart to open the heavenly court together, you are thinking about how to lay out in advance, as if you can control the high position. ”

"And what do you think of it yourself?" Jiang Yingke asked.

"Personally, I don't like these dragon kings." Zhao Yan said: "But their existence is a manifestation of the creation of heaven and earth. Whether it is a wild jungle or a rough ocean, there is always a place where humanity has not reached. In these places, it is common for races to live and multiply, and to compete with each other. ”

"In other words, the strong are respected." Jiang Yingke smiled: "But if you look at it this way, those dragon monarchs must also recognize your ability, and they will reluctantly agree to open up the Heavenly Court." ”

Zhao Huang showed a puzzled expression, and Jiang Yingke reminded: "This is not a compliment, although you have not achieved the Immortal Dao, but if it is really a battle of fighting methods, there are not many Heavenly Immortal Families and Dragon Monarchs who can defeat you." At least I'm no match for you. ”

"The seniors are too modest." Zhao Xiao said.

Jiang Yingke waved his hand and said, "Do you think I'm joking?" The weight of the inheritance of Xuanputang, I still don't know? If I run into that Chihiro snake, I'll have to take a detour. But not everyone is like you, who is bent on eliminating evil, and out of sight is the state of mind of most immortals. ”

Since Zhao Huang confirmed his achievements in becoming an altar, in terms of mana alone, he has almost no rivals in the competition with people with similar cultivation. Moreover, Zhao Huang is different from other Qing cultivators, who have been involved in earthly killing all year round, and over time, he has also become proficient in fighting methods.

Although this is due to the turmoil and strife since the end of Tianxia, there are not a few monks who are proficient in fighting methods in the earthly world today, but the cultivation realm and magic achievements can be compared with Zhao Xiao, I am afraid that there is really no more.

Even Liang Tao, before he finally ascended to the altar and ascended, he didn't have the mana of Zhao Xiao. In other words, today's Zhao Xiao is one of the veritable pinnacles of Kunlun.

It's just that Zhao Xiao doesn't have vanity in mind, and the main trouble at the moment is the Chihiro Snake.

"Seeing you like this, it seems that you have nothing to do with Chihiro Orochi?" Jiang Yingke asked.

Zhao Xiao confessed: "The Qianxun Snake is difficult to kill, and it must be destroyed by the Three Calamities. ”

"Are you planning to take the initiative to send down the Heavenly Tribulation?" Jiang Yingke asked.

"God Killing Nail, presumably the predecessors also know the use of this thing." Zhao Yan said: "My distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang refined this thing back then, maybe the original intention was to use it to deal with the Qianxun Great Snake. But I tried to refine the God Killing Nail, but I didn't see the results for a long time. ”

Jiang Ying said politely: "The Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer was able to refine the Killing God Nail, in addition to the gradual spread of the discipline and law, the momentum was flourishing, and it also benefited from the end of the troubled times of the Tianxia Dynasty, so that the calamity of heaven and earth was collected. ”

Zhao Xiao was slightly puzzled: "But now that there is a bear country, it is about to end the troubled times, and anyone can understand the trend of unifying Kunlun." ”

"The world has become bigger, or rather, the world in people's hearts has become bigger." Jiang Ying said: "The Tianxia Dynasty encompasses all directions, and the territory is unprecedentedly wide, which makes people's views on the chaos in the world also change greatly. Before the country of Bears was completely wiped out, people always felt that they were in troubled times. ”

Zhao Xiao also understood: "Before the end of the troubled times, the disaster was prevalent, and there was almost no restraint, but ......"

Zhao Xiao took out the Silent Divine Sword, and when it didn't activate its edge, it was an ancient sword covered with rust.

"This is the divine sword that can kill immortals and gods?" There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Yingke's eyes.

"This sword is made by gathering the qi of calamity, and the spiritual material used is the essence of the stars found by the East China Sea Sword Immortal Hong Xueke." Zhao Xiao said: "I have also thought about whether I have to find the treasures of heaven and earth in order to carry the three calamities. ”

Jiang Yingke pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you know the origin of the Star Essence? ”

Zhao Xiao nodded and said: "Zhou Tian's clear qi has been condensed to the extreme, turning into the Star Palace Doufu, and the fallen world is the essence of the stars." Legend has it that this star spirit fell on Kunlun Continent in ancient times, and fell directly at the intersection of sea and land, creating the current terrain of Xingluo County Bay. ”

"Definitely." Jiang Yingke shook his head and said, "The so-called essence of the stars is actually a world that has been destroyed, or the only remnant left. ”

"A world that has been destroyed?" Zhao Huang immediately thought of Ruomu, the world she was born in was also destroyed, but she escaped with her clansmen.

"During the Tianxia Dynasty, he also devoted all his strength to collect the essence of the stars, hoping to use it as one of the foundations of the Compendium of Discipline and Law, but unfortunately he received very little." Zhao Huang said: "I used to suspect that the flaw of the Tianxia Dynasty's discipline and law was due to the lack of support from the essence of the stars. ”

"Maybe that's right." Jiang Yingke said: "Discipline is the discipline of heaven and earth. If it is based on the little mysterious origin that remains after the collapse of heaven and earth, it can indeed be used as the foundation of the discipline. It's a pity that the Tianxia Dynasty didn't find this star essence back then, but after Hong Xueke found it, he used it to forge the divine sword. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiao was silent for a long time, and then stood up reluctantly, looking at the Silent Sword thoughtfully.

"I see, I see!" Zhao Xiao suddenly realized: "Why should the discipline and law spread between heaven and earth? I have not only stood up as an altar, but also the law of heaven and earth, the discipline and law have long been prepared, the body is born, and the sky is hidden in the sky, so that the natural mediation and creation will protect the robbery! ”

Jiang Yingke didn't expect that his words would inspire Zhao Huang, and even he was thinking about it.

"Thank you, senior." Zhao Xiao held his sword and bowed: "The catastrophe is already in hand, and the death of the great snake is coming!" ”
