Chapter 6: The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth
"Everyone in the world has a dream of becoming an immortal, who knows the bumpy road to cultivation!"
Lu Fang sighed to himself, feeling the difficulty of the journey to immortal ascension, and the thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation in front of him was the biggest difficulty of their cultivation sect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. This is true, but for the cultivation sect, they are not even as good as dogs, and they are completely the opposites of the will of heaven and earth.
It is only because the aura of heaven and earth floating in the world is not an ownerless thing, they are the source of life of the will of heaven and earth. With the emergence and development of the cultivable sect, cultivators began to unscrupulously absorb and consume the aura of heaven and earth.
Therefore, in order to curb the cultivation sect, the will of heaven and earth will send down heavenly punishment to punish every time a cultivator reaches a certain realm, and anyone who cannot survive the heavenly thunder will be destroyed under the heavenly thunder; only by crossing the heavenly thunder can he have the opportunity to take a small step towards ascending to the immortal.
According to the records of the cultivation method, if a cultivator wants to truly achieve the Great Dao, he must go through nine heavenly and earth tribulations, and if he wants to survive one heavenly tribulation, he must endure the baptism of nine heavenly thunders.
It is precisely because of this that the predecessors of the ancient cultivator sect divided cultivators into nine realms, and each time they survived a tribulation, they represented a realm of ascension, and within each realm, they were subdivided into nine stages, and each time they crossed the Heavenly Thunder, they represented a stage of ascension.
For example, Zhao Meng, who has the lowest cultivation, is now in the realm of five thunders, which means that he has crossed five heavenly thunders, and although Yun Xuan is younger than him, with the assistance of the land side, he has safely survived all nine heavenly thunders before the first tribulation, and then experienced two heavenly thunders in the first tribulation, which means that Yun Xuan's realm at this moment is the realm of one tribulation and two thunders.
As for Lu Xiangyu and the others, the gap between them and Yun Xuan is not big, and they are all around one catastrophe and two thunderstorms. Only Luo Yan is different, he is already too far ahead of his peers at a young age, and he has already reached the realm of one catastrophe and eight thunders before this.
If he survives the ninth thunder this time, it means that Luo Yan can once again ascend to a great realm and officially step into the realm of the second tribulation, and his strength will definitely have earth-shaking changes.
Bang!!!
A deafening loud bang came from high in the sky, and the originally bright night sky was covered with dark clouds in the blink of an eye, and arcs of electricity pulsed back and forth between the dark clouds. Although the thunder had not yet fallen, Yun Xuan had already felt a heartbeat.
I still remember that a few years ago, when Yun Xuan crossed the nine thunders before the first tribulation, he also had this feeling of paralysis all over his body. Lu Fang once explained to him that everything in the world is nine extremes, and everything that reaches nine is an extremely terrifying existence. The same is true of these nine thunders, as the last level of each great realm, how can it be easily passed?
At this moment, Luo Yan, who had been meditating and meditating before, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the thunderclouds brewing above, his face extremely solemn.
I saw him flick his sleeves, and a flying sword flew out, quickly circling around him. Then he saw a silent recitation in Luo Yan's mouth, and his hands struck out one after another, and a layer of scorching flames covered him like armor.
As soon as he had done all this, the heavenly thunder above the sky had already brewed, and a piercing heavenly thunder pierced the dim sky and hit Luo Yan's head directly.
Yun Xuan's eyes widened and he was about to watch carefully, after all, this was the first time he was in the position of a bystander, and he might be able to learn a little experience from observing the tribulation of others.
But what he didn't expect was that the moment Tianlei came into contact with Luo Yan, the whole world seemed to be illuminated, and it was extremely dazzling, so that he obviously still opened his eyes, but there was only a vast incandescent color in his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Only the roar in his ears let him know that this thunder was not over. From the first heavenly thunder to the ninth heavenly thunder, there was only a few breaths in between, and the kind of non-stop madness made them onlookers tremble.
Gradually, Yun Xuan felt that the white light in front of him had quietly faded, and everything around him came into view again, but in this short period of time, the scene in front of him had completely changed.
With that house as the center, everything in a radius of half a mile was completely destroyed, and even the ground was blasted out of a deep pit, and only Luo Yan flew in the air, closing his eyes and feeling it.
At this moment, the dark clouds above the sky slowly dispersed, revealing the clear starry sky behind them. At the same time, a faint curtain of light shone down from the sky and shrouded Luo Yan's body, the injuries on his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the land around him grew little by little under this light curtain.
Half a pillar of incense time passed, and under the illumination of the light curtain, the houses and earth and stones that had been completely destroyed before were completely returned to their original state as if they had gone back in time, and there was no sign of any damage.
Although Yun Xuan had experienced this feeling before, after seeing it again, he still couldn't hide the shock in his heart. He knew that the light curtain just now was a reparation made after every heaven and earth catastrophe in order to avoid the misery of human beings, and used an extremely pure immortal qi to envelop the earth and restore it to its original state.
But it's just a recovery, if someone dies under the catastrophe, they will never be resurrected!
After a cultivator survives a Heavenly Tribulation, he will seize the time to absorb this immortal qi into his body, which is also the primary factor causing the disparity in strength between the two realms. Just because people with a high realm have more immortal yuan than those with a low realm.
"Huh, okay, I believe that this Luo Yan's catastrophe will bring you a good experience. Now let's go back to our rooms and rest, and feel Tianwei in meditation, maybe there will be some gains. Lu Fang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his eyes to look at Yun Xuan and the others.
"Yes!"
Yun Xuan and the others responded in unison, and then returned to the room thoughtfully. When I came in, I found that Luo Yan was still meditating, thinking that he was refining that immortal qi and completely taking it for his own use.
Glancing at Luo Yan with a look of adoration, Yun Xuan secretly cheered in his heart, there is no need to envy others so much, sooner or later, one day, I, Yun Xuan, can also be so much in the spotlight, and I will also be like Senior Brother Luo Yan, become the pride of the heavens of the Daomen, so that everyone will no longer look at them coldly, and let Sister Xiaoyu be proud of herself!
Just as Yun Xuan and the others began to rest, not far away, on a high platform on the second floor, Qin Lan was looking up at the starry sky.
Before Luo Yan's tribulation caused such a big movement, he naturally would not be unaware of it, and he even took in the scene of Luo Yan's tribulation from a distance. "Hmph, did you break through to the realm of the Second Tribulation at a young age, it's really enviable. ”
Hearing his whispered words, an adjutant general beside him said, "General, what should we do, do we really want to take these guys to destroy the rat demon?"
Qin Lan asked indifferently: "Why, wouldn't it be a pity to have such a helper." ”
"However, this was a good opportunity for us, the local county magistrate was derelict in his duties and escaped, and the general you were in danger, and even wiped out the rat demon in one fell swoop, such a great achievement, how could these Taoist priests get a piece of the pie?"
Qin Lan showed an inexplicable smile: "Well, there is some truth to what I said, but I have my own way to solve the second problem, you can just act according to the original plan." ”
The adjutant general was still a little worried: "But these people ......"
"Huh?" Qin Lan's face turned cold: "Are you questioning my orders?"
"No, no, no, how dare the villain!" the adjutant general hurriedly knelt down: "Everything is under the orders of the general!"
Qin Lan snorted coldly, and then he jumped down from the high platform and returned to his room.
Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was unspoken.
After Yun Xuan and his party had the breakfast sent by Qin Lan, they came to the compound of the government and joined Qin Lan's soldiers.
Looking curiously at the group of well-trained and disciplined soldiers in front of him, Yun Xuan This was the first time he had seen so many outsiders, it was impossible not to be excited. But soon he was not interested, just because these soldiers were all stuffy gourds, even if they saw him, a silver-haired witch, they did not dare to make any changes.
Yun Xuan took a look and found that apart from Qin Lan and his lieutenant generals, there were very few cultivators among the sergeants, and most of them were just sturdy ordinary people. Even if a few have studied martial arts, they are only between two and four thunders at most, and even Zhao Meng is not as good.
Although their quality was very good, Yun Xuan was very skeptical, in the face of a rat demon who had cultivated to perfection, would these ordinary soldiers really be effective? Or was it that Qin Lan originally intended to use these as human shields?
Thinking of this, Yun Xuan's gaze at Qin Lan changed. If it is really as he guessed, then this Qin Lan is definitely a ruthless character!
After that, the army marched en masse, and Qin Lan brought war horses for Lu Fang, Yun Xuan and others, and set off for the destination together. According to the conversation between the Lu side and Qin Lan yesterday, Yun Xuan learned that the other party had sent several reconnaissance teams not long ago to go out to find the location of the rat colony.
After a day, the rest of the team returned safely, but they found no trace, and there was only the abandoned village after the rat demon had wreaked havoc.
Of these, only one team had no news at all, and it was not until two days later that a bloodied soldier returned. According to the soldier, when they first arrived in a village, they happened to encounter a colony of rats grazing in the fields.
In order not to startle the snakes, the team did not fight the rats, but followed them, and finally discovered the nest of the other party. It's a pity that in the end, they were discovered by the other party, and after sacrificing everyone, they reluctantly let the soldier send back the news.
So, today Qin Lan plans to lead his army of five hundred people to go to that lair to find out, if the rat demon is really there, then by the way, it will be exterminated, if not, it should also be able to find some clues there, so that it can carry out the next action.
After half a day of hurrying, Qin Lan's army and Yun Xuan and the others finally came to the gate of a courtyard, judging from the appearance, this is just an ordinary house, and it is still a little old, and there are some cracks on the courtyard wall.
Lu Fang frowned, and subconsciously asked, "General Qin Lan, are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place?" This place should be a family, where is the lair of the rat demon?"
