Chapter 168: Little Life and Death Thunder Tribulation
Chapter 168: Little Life and Death Thunder Tribulation
Since killing the killer that day, Zhang Liang has completely fallen silent, and there is no longer the slightest movement.
Qin Chen was also happy to be idle, and began to think about his own affairs, Qin Chen once said to Zhang Yiming that he would give him resources and let him cultivate by himself, but he would not help him avenge, of course, if it was those characters that Zhang Yiming couldn't deal with, Qin Chen would not let Zhang Yiming die in vain.
The reason why Qin Chen stayed in Qingyan City had another reason, that is, the map. If there was no map, Qin Chen would be a headless fly in this boundless moat, and if he walked into those forbidden places without knowing it, I am afraid that he would not even know how to die.
The map is a very important thing in this Xianling Continent where there is no network, and it can even be said to be a strategic material.
If one country obtains another country's topographical map, troop deployment map, and town distribution map, it can drive straight into the land of no one.
Therefore, in addition to the needs of those countries, the most purchased items are those cultivators. Cultivators are cultivating and cultivating, so naturally they can't stay in the same place for a long time, so there is a great demand for maps. But so far, Qin Chen has not seen the map of the Xianling Continent.
This is also because the Immortal Tomb Continent is so vast that it is almost boundless, and I am afraid that no one cartographer can complete this vast project.
Of course, maybe those super forces, the major holy lands have such maps, but this is no longer something that Qin Chen can consider.
In the past half a month, Qin Chen has visited almost the entire Qingyan City, but there are almost no clues, after Zhang Yiming's explanation, Qin Chen knows that his idea of wanting to buy a map is in vain.
Qingyan City was located underground in the middle of a large desolate mountain range, and to the south was the Ancient Land of the Fire God, so Qin Chen's goal was naturally the map of the north, but the cultivators of Qingyan City in the north rarely dabbled in it. The primordial beasts there were several times stronger than this Flame God Ancient Land in terms of quantity and quality, so ordinary cultivators were active in the Flame God Ancient Land, after all, the fire crystals there were enough for them to consume.
Of course, this situation is not absolute, just having something that cannot be used for the time being such as fire spar cannot be cultivated, so the elders of Qingyan City will lead a team to the Star City and Iron Bucket City in the north every once in a while to obtain a large number of cultivation resources.
Star City is a city of the human race, so Qingyan City can get a lot of resources suitable for itself from here, but the distance is too far, and the road is extremely difficult; The Elders won't go to Barrel City.
In the eyes of the Elders, the Automata are a bunch of strange demons. The elders didn't say a word about everything in Iron Bucket City.
This is also the reason why Qin Chen can't get a good map, only the elders have walked in the north of Qingyan City, and only the elders dare to go, those maps are in the hands of those elders, Qin Chen can't get it at all.
Qin Chen once thought about stealing, robbing, and buying. But in the end, he gave up these ideas, no matter that each method had a certain risk, Qin Chen was not arrogant enough to compete with those elders, after all, each of them had a huge force behind them.
Time flies. Qin Chen supervised the cultivation of the two brothers and sisters every day, and went out for a walk from time to time to get to know this Qingyan City, and their lives were very good.
It's not that Qin Chen has lost his enterprising spirit. Instead, Qin Chen was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the head of the Zhang family to come back, which could be inferred from the words of Zhang Liang and the Seven Swords Venerable. The head of the family is very strong, and he will be back soon.
So Qin Chen has been thinking about countermeasures for the past half a month, how to deal with that Zhang Liang.
For this kind of decrepit who even wants to kill his own brother, Qin Chen will not let him live in the world, and there is another reason, this Zhang Liang is Zhang Yiming's uncle after all, Qin Chen doesn't want such a young child's hands to be stained with the blood of his relatives.
And while Qin Chen was waiting, in the north of Qingyan City, at the end of the barren mountain.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the aura is full of energy, the tiger roars and the ape cries, the waterfall flows, the rainbow hangs in the air, and the crane takes off, which forms a sharp contrast with the barren mountain.
This is a vast and aura-filled mountain range, forming a natural barrier on the northern side of the barren mountain, this mountain range is called the Retreat Mountains, which is the name given by the people of Qingyan City after settling here, as for the previous one, no one knows.
This retreat mountain range had a vast visual area back then, and this barren mountain was also a part of this retreat mountain range in the first place, and the reason why it became the current situation was, of course, the dwarves who did it.
Not to mention the past, the reason why this place is called the Retreat Mountain Range is because it is the retreat place of those cultivators in Qingyan City.
Although Qingyan City is safe, there is no aura. The cultivation of those Body Refining Realm was worry-free, but what could those cultivators of the Transformation Realm and even the elders of the Tiantai Realm do, in desperation, they could only take the risk of coming to this retreat mountain range and cultivating quietly.
The southern part of this retreat mountain range is a dense network of caves that can not be seen at a glance, and they are basically built on those spiritual veins, but there are also some spiritual qi built on those spiritual eyes, and these are the retreat places of the elders.
And in the northern part of the Retreat Mountain Range is the residence of those demon beasts, which the ancestors of Qingyan City spent countless costs to expel them. Compared to the proto-beasts that can only be seen in a specific environment, the demon beasts can be said to be the only race on the Xianling Continent whose distribution range can be compared to that of humans, and even surpassing the human race in some aspects.
It is precisely because of the existence of these demon beasts that the pressure on Qingyan City in the face of the original beasts is countless times less, and Qingyan City and the demon beasts here have made some covenants, and the two parties will help each other and support each other.
Today, in a small valley full of aura in the southern part of the retreat mountain range, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the flowers are in full bloom, the butterflies are flying, the grass is leisurely, the sun is lazily basking on the ground, and a small tree on the mountain wall is full of red wild fruits.
However, no one has dared to come here, because this has always been the retreat place of the head of the Zhang family in Qingyan City, especially the head of this generation, Zhang Lingfeng, who is powerful. It is the Inner Gate Elder in Qingyan City, who is second only to the Great Elder, and has reached the peak of the middle level of the Tiantai Realm, and this retreat is just to be able to break through to the high level.
On this day, a large area of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the originally peaceful small valley, and the power of the sky overwhelmed the surrounding small animals to flow all their and urine.
At this moment, a figure in the valley flew into the air from the valley, and I saw that this person had a messy head, the clothes he was wearing were full of dust, and his whole body exuded a rotten aura. But this person is dignified, he looks no more than forty years old, and his whole body is full of an indescribable temperament.
This person looked at the dark clouds that were getting bigger and bigger overhead, and he didn't panic in the slightest, but looked up to the sky and laughed: "I, Zhang Lingfeng, have finally taken this step, as long as I survive this thunderstorm, I will be a high-level monk, but this place can't be destroyed." ”
After speaking, he let out a long howl and flew over thinking about flying over from outside the small valley. The dark clouds are also closely following Zhang Lingfeng, and they are still getting bigger.
Along the way, lightning and thunder roared, and the beasts in the place they passed collapsed to the ground, and were photographed by Tianwei. In the caves. Disturbed by the thunder, they came out to see the situation, but when they found out, they returned to the cave. Close the door of the cave and keep your ears out of the window.
This kind of thunderstorm is no longer something they can watch, if they are dragged into it. There will be no place to die.
But this was not absolute, in the best retreat places in the southern part of the entire retreat mountain range, some cultivators flew out one after another, and they were not afraid of the thunder, and flew towards the direction where Zhang Lingfeng flew at an extremely fast speed.
These are all Tiantai Realm cultivators in Qingyan City, there are forty or fifty people here alone, plus those from Qingyan City, and some who are out, you know that Qingyan City is not showing its real strength to the world, and these Tiantai Realm cultivators are basically low-level, and there are very few middle-level.
Looking at these cultivators who flew over, Zhang Lingfeng laughed, "Everyone, during the tribulation, it depends on you. "Generally speaking, cultivators are most taboo about others disturbing them during the tribulation, but Zhang Lingfeng doesn't care at all.
Those cultivators didn't think there was any problem, and they all saluted back: "This is what I should do, if anyone who is not long-sighted dares to disturb Brother Zhang, then don't blame me for being polite." ”
"Yes, we will not be relentless if those demon beasts come to attack. ”
Zhang Lingfeng hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you very much." After saying that, he kept a certain distance from everyone and flew forward.
This is the rule between the cultivators of the Tiantai Realm in Qingyan City, one person crosses the tribulation, and whoever can make a move will be guarded, because if it is a one-person tribulation, those demon beasts will definitely come over to make trouble, although the two sides have signed an alliance, but it is only a verbal treaty, if the strength of the Qingyan City side is weakened, the demon beast side will definitely not hesitate.
After a while, Zhang Lingfeng flew away from the retreat mountain range and came to the barren mountains, only to see that this place was obviously different from other barren mountains.
The peaks here are almost all chopped down, the ravines and rocks on the earth are all blackened, barren, or rather a mess. This is the place where the cultivators of the Tiantai Realm have crossed the tribulation for generations, and there is no aura in this place, so the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be weakened a lot, although the Tribulator will have a certain impact, but the probability of the Tribulation will be greatly increased.
Zhang Lingfeng stood on top of a half-collapsed mountain peak, looking at the thunder tribulation above his head, at this time, because there was no supply of spiritual energy, so the growth was a little slow, Zhang Lingfeng took a deep breath and began to calm his mood.
And around this place of tribulation, those Tiantai Realm cultivators have chosen a position to stand, carefully observing the surroundings, for a long time, they have formed their own set, the position where they stand can clearly see the surrounding environment, no demon beast can sneak here.
The thunder tribulation in the sky absorbed less and less aura, and finally, it no longer absorbed aura, and began to roll continuously, accumulating strength.
The surrounding cultivators have strengthened their protection of the surroundings, since this is in the middle of a barren mountain, so those demon beasts must cross the retreat mountain range if they want to sneak attack, the humans in the mountain range are not jealous, so most of them will be blocked, but those who can cross the defense line must be those Tiantai realm demon beasts.
Even if there was no supply of spiritual energy, the area of the dark clouds here was several times larger than when Qin Chen first crossed the tribulation, unlike Qin Chen's purple thunder tribulation, Zhang Lingfeng's thunder tribulation only had one color, and that was black, endless black.
Black, representing death, represents destruction. It represents all the things that are not good, within the scope of this thunder tribulation, as if everything has become lifeless, everything has become meaningless, this is the thunder tribulation of life and death, the thunder tribulation that must be crossed from the middle level of the Tiantai realm to the high level of the Tiantai realm.
Although the Tiantai Realm is also divided into the first three low levels, the middle three high levels, and the last three high levels, this is only the name of people who are not familiar with this realm, and the names of those who are above the Tiantai realm are completely different.
They divided the Tiantai realm into three levels. The cultivators of the first five layers are called the Five Elements Tiantai Monks, the six or seven layers are called the Life and Death Tiantai Monks, and the eight or nine layers are called the Yin and Yang Tiantai Monks.
Although Zhang Lingfeng is crossing the thunder tribulation from the middle level to the high level, he is also crossing the thunder tribulation of life and death, that is, the thunder tribulation of life and death.
In the entire Qingyan City, only the Great Elder was the Yin Yang Tiantai Monk. However, the current elder is already more than two hundred years old, and he only has a lifespan of twenty or thirty years, which is very long in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of these cultivators. But it passed in a hurry.
If the Great Elder could not break through the Tiantai Realm, then twenty or thirty years later, Qingyan City would lose the seat of the Yin Yang Tiantai Cultivator, and its status would be in jeopardy.
But that's no longer the case. If Zhang Lingfeng survived the life and death thunder tribulation, then he would be only one step away from the Yin Yang Tiantai Monk, and Zhang Lingfeng was only in his prime. In terms of his lifespan, he is in the prime of life, and there is great hope for him to take that step.
Therefore, the Five Elements Tiantai monks around the field all put all their minds on defense, after all, this Ling Feng represented the hope of Qingyan City.
The dark clouds in the sky were getting darker and darker, and even the lightning rolling in them was also black, and a thick death aura permeated out, and when the Five Elements Tiantai Monk broke through to the Life and Death Tiantai Monk, he had to cross the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation. But what Zhang Lingfeng crossed at this time was a thunderstorm of life and death. This is not a complete life and death thunder tribulation, in which the death qi occupies almost all of it, if it is a breakthrough to the Yin Yang Tiantai monk, it is called the life and death thunder tribulation.
Today's can only be called a small life and death thunderstorm.
In the dark clouds, there seemed to be only endless darkness left, and even the entire sky was shrouded in darkness, looking like a dark abyss.
At this moment, a glimmer of white light suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, but it was only a fleeting moment.
Zhang Lingfeng, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a black lightning bolt in the sky slashed down with a devastating momentum
In the northern part of the Retreat Mountain Range, compared to the south, both the area and the intensity of the aura here are much larger, after all, the demon beasts are more powerful than humans of the same level individually.
And the demon beasts in this place directly face the original beasts, they are the division of a hundred battles, for various reasons, the demon beasts occupy most of the retreat mountain range, these are not achieved overnight, hundreds of years ago, the area between the two was equal, but for hundreds of years, Qingyan City has been weakening, knowing that a hundred years ago, the last great elder of the Nine Palace Realm sat down, and Qingyan City never came out of the strong man of the Nine Palace Realm again.
One generation is not as good as the next, and the retreat mountain range is eroded, which is also a helpless thing.
At this time, in the northern part of the Retreat Mountain Range, in a valley where the aura was almost as dense as a lake, one head had sharp horns on his head, and his whole body was lying in the water, revealing only two eyes that were countless times larger than lanterns, and the powerful momentum made many Tiantai Realm demon kings outside the valley tremble.
As soon as a clear voice came into the ears of a demon king outside the valley, "Just do it as before, you don't need to send the Yin Yang Tiantai Demon Beast to sneak attack, everything will be done as before, I already have a countermeasure." ”
The demon kings outside the valley kowtowed one after another, "Respect the ancestors' orders." After saying that, they left the small valley.
This valley is a holy place among the demon beasts in the northern part of the retreat mountain range, and it is also a forbidden place, because there is the only Jiugong Realm ancestor in the demon beast clan living here, this ancestor has existed since before the completion of Qingyan City, it can be said that he has a long lifespan, and he is the god in the hearts of the demon beasts here.
In a silent deep valley, under the threat of a huge demonic aura, no demon beast dared to stay here.
Lying in the lake, the aura covered the ancestor's body with a rich aura, making it impossible to see the reality clearly.
The water splashed everywhere, making a shocking roar, and the only ancestor of the demon beast clan finally showed his body from the lake, a body up to 100 meters long, shining spirit tablets, spitting snake hyacinths, and a smooth abdomen, which looked like a huge python.
But the four small packets on the abdomen, as well as the two antlers on the top of the head, all indicate that this is not a python.
This is like a dragon, to be exact, a dragon that has not evolved completely, if all the scales on the body are transformed into dragon scales, it is a pure dragon.
Revealing a body full of majesty, this Jiaolong looked at the south with some hatred, the Qingyan City that could compete with the demon beast clan had completely declined, and Jiaolong put the main target in the north.
"There is basically no breath of the original beast in the north, there is something abnormal at this time, and I must take a look. With a deafening roar, it flew into the clouds and mist in the air, revealing only part of its body, which looked no different from the legendary dragon.
With a swing of his body, he soared through the clouds and fog, and flew towards the north at a very fast speed. (To be continued......)
