Chapter 1183: Middle Mahayana
Thirty years later, the stone door of Li Muran's retreat suddenly opened, but Li Muran broke through.
Xiao Lei immediately rushed here and asked curiously, "The master is out of the customs so soon?"
Li Muran shook his head: "The catastrophe is coming, and I am temporarily out of the customs to cross the catastrophe." You come with me!"
After saying that, Li Muran immediately took Xiao Lei out of the cave mansion, and cast a teleportation charm, appearing in a moment above a desolate ice field tens of thousands of miles away.
"How did the master's Heavenly Tribulation come so quickly?" Xiao Lei asked curiously, "Counting up, it has only been sixty years since the last Heavenly Tribulation. ”
Li Muran smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I used the Heaven Devouring Technique to cultivate and fuse the space of the Heaven Replenishing Stone Refining into the dantian, but I didn't expect that the strange grass in the dantian also got a lot of benefits from it!
Xiao Lei muttered: "I don't know what the origin of this little grass is! Even Huoyun's predecessors don't know, it seems to be a very rare variety. It grows so fast, at most every hundred years it will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is getting stronger and stronger, for Xiao Lei, this is of course a good opportunity to obtain the power of Heavenly Thunder, but for the master, the further it goes, the more dangerous it is!"
"That's good!" Li Muran nodded: "At first, my cultivation progressed rapidly, but I was able to keep up with the progress of the Heavenly Tribulation Might. But since the advanced Mahayana period, the progress of cultivation has slowed down a lot, and this little grass still maintains rapid growth, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is getting stronger and stronger, if I don't move forward in cultivation, at most after a thousand years, even with your help, it will be difficult to survive the Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Therefore, on the one hand, I will do my best to improve my cultivation, and on the other hand, I will continue to temper my physical body with the power of heavenly thunder, so that my physical body's ability to resist heavenly thunder will be further improved, so as to lay a solid foundation for future tribulations, and I will be more confident in the future. ”
As the two spoke, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the clouds had appeared.
Li Muran glanced up at the tribulation clouds and instructed Xiao Lei: "This time, I will try my best to overcome the tribulation with the strength of my body, until the last few waves of powerful golden thunder appear, and you will not be too late to help." ”
"Yes!" replied to Ray.
Li Muran slowly took off a piece of soft armor on his body, and took off the spirit silk robe with countless runes painted on it, **** his upper body, waiting for the thunder to fall.
"Boom!" A golden thunderbolt as thick as an arm slashed down in the air and landed on top of Li Muran's head.
Li Muran stretched out one arm and directly took this golden thunder!
Suddenly, countless golden thunder arcs ran through Li Muran's body along this arm, causing Li Muran's whole body to be shocked. Li Muran's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a little pain, but he still endured it.
Before the golden thunder arcs attached to his body dissipated, another golden thunder slashed down, and Li Muran raised his arms again to greet him......
Half an hour later, with the help of Xiao Lei, the catastrophe finally passed, Li Muran still felt half of his body sore, and there were many traces of being injured by the thunderbolt on his body. Li Muran sat cross-legged for a while before standing up and returning to the cave with Xiao Lei.
After returning to the cave, Li Muran continued his retreat. He had only fused the Heaven Replenishing Stone and its refining space, but he had not yet completely refined the Pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in it, which could not be rushed, and it would take a lot of time to slowly refine it.
The practice goes on day after day, monotonously and boringly, and there can be no fault in the slightest. Even cultivators with extremely high concentration refer to this retreat as "penance," and only monks who can endure penance can attain enlightenment and gain.
Over the years, in the immortal cultivation realm of the Second Realm of Spirits and Demons, Li Muran's whereabouts have been searched everywhere. The temptation given by the Destroying Sun and Burial Moon is too great, not only the treasure of Xuantian, but also many other top-level materials, which have a strong attraction to all Mahayana monks in the Second Realm of Spirits and Demons.
One day, sixty years later, Qingsong was practicing in the cave mansion, when he suddenly received an urgent message from his subordinates, saying that several Mahayana monks from the Ice Spirit Clan, including the Great Spirit King, had come to visit here.
Qingsong Jushi was shocked, and immediately greeted him from the cave, and sure enough, he saw the Great Spirit King and others.
Qingsong monk gave a salute to the monks and said, "The Great Spirit King and all the Taoist friends have come from afar, why don't you notify this monk in advance, and this monk also ordered the clan to prepare in advance and arrange a grand ceremony to welcome you!"
The Great Spirit King waved his hand and said with a smile: "Qingsong Monk doesn't have to be polite, we are all cultivators of the Snow Ning Continent, and my Ice Spirit Clan and the Human Race have always been at peace, so why pay too much attention to courtesy!"
The Qingsong monk hurriedly welcomed the Great Spirit King and others into the main hall, and after some politeness, the Qingsong monk couldn't help but ask: "The Great Spirit King and other Taoist friends came to us, I don't know what advice you have?"
The Great Spirit King smiled slightly: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, I am waiting for this time, there is indeed one thing." I heard that Mu Daoist friend is practicing nearby, I wonder if the Qingsong monk can introduce one or two on his behalf?"
Qingsong Monk looked embarrassed and said, "I can't hide it, this Mu Daoist is an ascetic, he has been in retreat and penance all these years, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to disturb." I don't know what the Great Spirit King has? ”
Before the Great Spirit King could express his position, a middle-aged spiritual cultivator in the middle of the Mahayana period snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that it's inconvenient to see each other, but I don't dare!"
Qingsong Jushi frowned: "What does Han Daoyou mean by this? Could it be that Mu Daoyou has offended the Ice Spirit Clan and Han Daoyou? If so, I will dare to mediate from it, hoping to eliminate the misunderstanding and release the previous suspicions, if Mu Daoyou has any offense, we will try to compensate for it!"
The Great Spirit King shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that the Qingsong Monk is very protective of the Mu Daoyou! No wonder the Qingsong Monk doesn't even want the Xuantian Treasure, and he also wants to hide the identity and whereabouts of the Mu Daoyou!"
"Xuantian Treasure?" Qingsong Monk was even more puzzled: "This monk is getting more and more confused about what your fellow Daoists are saying, and I ask the Great Spirit King to tell me clearly!"
The middle-aged monk surnamed Han said: "Why should the Qingsong monk pretend not to know! Since the fair, the Demon Cultivators such as Sun Destroying were wanted for 'greedy charm', many monks have been looking for his whereabouts everywhere, but they have found nothing. ”
"That guy is a Terran monk, but he is a mixed Mahayana of spirit and demon cultivation, so he can completely disguise himself as a spiritual cultivator and hide in the spirit world to avoid the search of demon cultivators such as the Destruction of the Sun. ”
The Great Spirit King nodded, and said: "It's not a secret, over the years, this king has sent people to search and inquire around, and it is said that the greedy spirit was originally a spiritual monk, who had practiced in the spiritual world, and was quite familiar with the spiritual world. So there is a great possibility that he hid in the spirit world and concealed his identity to cultivate. ”
"Now the monks of all continents are searching everywhere to see if there are high-level monks cultivating somewhere, and this king has also sent a large number of people to search the Xuening Continent almost thoroughly, and now only the territories of the human and demon clans have not been carefully searched. ”
"Not long ago, this king talked with several Taoist friends of the demon clan and learned that this Mu Taoist friend is a monk of the human race, and his identity is so secret, and he also happens to be a cultivator in the early stage of Mahayana, his suspicion is not small, and this king can't let go of this clue!"
"Therefore, I also ask the Qingsong monk to let me wait to meet Mu Daoyou, if we make a mistake, I will leave immediately, and I will never disturb your cultivation again. If it is really discovered that he is greedy, then the king will also give a large amount of treasure to the layman as a thank you!"
The Qingsong monk shook his head and said, "This monk has already promised Mu Daoyou to let him meditate and practice, and it is really inconvenient to bring you fellow Daoists to disturb his Qing cultivation!"
The monk surnamed Han sneered and said, "I'm already here, so I won't run in vain!"
The Great Spirit King also turned pale and said: "The layman has thought it carefully, if he makes a move, the children of the human race here will not be affected, although it is difficult for some strong people to do it, but this move is also good for the layman." In case that guy is really greedy, after being discovered by others, there will inevitably be a big war here, and at that time, I am afraid that this Terran territory will not be able to be protected!"
"What's more, we don't intend to embarrass the Terrans at all, we just want to eliminate suspicion. As long as it is confirmed that we have found the wrong person, we will leave immediately, and the Mu Dao Friends and lay people, as well as the Terran monks here, will not suffer any damage!"
In the face of this threatening words hidden in the blade, after a deep sigh, the Qingsong monk sighed: "Okay, this monk will meet with all the Daoists. ”
Subsequently, Qingsong Jushi took the Great Spirit King and others to the front of Li Muran's Cave Mansion.
Qingsong Jushi handed a transmission note to the cave mansion, and said loudly: "Mu Daoyou, the Great Spirit King of the Ice Spirit Clan and several other Daoists have come here to meet in person, and I hope that Daoist friends will come out to see each other!"
There was no response in the cave for a long time, and the Great Spirit King gave a look to the person beside him, who immediately understood and said loudly: "If he is weak-hearted, he will not see him, I will immediately surround this place, don't let him take the opportunity to escape!"
With that, several Ice Spirit Clan monks immediately rushed towards the Cave Mansion.
"No!" Qingsong was in a hurry, but unfortunately his cultivation was ordinary, and he was powerless to stop him.
At this moment, a flash of spiritual light flew out in the cave mansion, turning into a monk with a black cloak, it was Li Muran.
"Mu Daoyou!" Qingsong lay monk looked Li Muran up and down, and said with surprise and joy: "Daoyou has actually advanced to the middle stage of Mahayana!"
Li Muran smiled and said, "In the next few years of retreat and penance, I finally gained something, and I was lucky enough to advance to the middle stage not long ago. I was trying to consolidate the realm, but I didn't expect so many Taoist friends to come to meet him, so I had to break through in advance and see all the Taoist friends!"
Qingsong lay monk was relieved in his heart, and he said to the Great Spirit King and the others: "Great Spirit King, fellow Daoists, this time you don't have to suspect that Mu Daoyou is greedy! Greedy Charm is a mixed Yuan Mahayana monk, if you want to advance, you must cultivate the two qi of spirit and demon at the same time, and this is not the place where the two realms of spirit and demon merge, only the aura has no demonic energy, and if Mu Daoyou can advance here, it is enough to show that he is a spiritual cultivator, not a mixed Yuan Mahayana!"
