#1336 - monster
On this day, Li Zhirui, who was practicing, opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the cave above his head and look up to the sky.
A huge amount of spiritual energy gathered there, turning into thick calamity clouds. Thunder was roaring and the purple thunder was leaking out a bit of power from the gaps, which made people feel terrified.
The next moment, Li Zhirui, who was sitting upright on the cushion, turned into a ray of spiritual light, flew out of the cave, and stood on the open ground waiting for the thunder to fall.
"Is Ruizu about to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm? This is the third Earthly Immortal in the family in hundreds of years!"
"Rui Zu and Xuan Zu are really amazing. They are indeed the only two surviving ancestors of the family. They are chasing each other and neither of them is willing to give in."
"This is what a true mentor and friend is! They support and help each other. I don't even know where the one who belongs to me is now."
…
The tribesmen were talking about it. Perhaps because Yuhong and Li Zhixuan had survived the violent and terrifying thunder tribulation and remained safe and sound without any damage, they had great confidence that Li Zhirui would successfully break through!
So while watching, I actually had the mind to make jokes.
Li Zhirui also learned from the conversations among his clansmen that Yuhong and Li Zhixuan had made breakthroughs one after another. A hint of joy flashed through his heart, but he immediately regained his composure and greeted the thunder tribulation with the most perfect attitude!
Boom boom
The first bolt of lightning fell, marking the beginning of the thunder tribulation.
The scarlet-red thunderbolt was like a gigantic fire dragon, shooting towards Li Zhirui violently and ferociously.
The next moment, endless sea water surged out of the void, causing huge waves that immediately swallowed up all the thunder.
"Why is it raining again!"
"Will the power of the thunder tribulation be strengthened?"
"This is Brother Nine's magical power, not natural rainfall from heaven and earth."
I don't know when it started to drizzle in the sky, and the water vapor around became extremely dense, as if I was immersed in water.
With the watering of a large amount of spiritual water, a giant tree a hundred feet high appeared behind Li Zhirui, and the huge and thick crown sheltered him underneath.
And above it, there are water curtains that block the thunder.
Violent thunderbolts continued to strike, but they were never able to get within three feet of Li Zhirui and were offset and dispersed by various magical powers.
His magic power seemed to be endless and would never be used up. He blocked several thunderbolts, but his aura did not drop at all.
About an hour later, after absorbing all the remaining power of the calamity cloud, the last calamity thunder finally struck down.
This time, the layers of water curtains were like fragile glass. They were pierced through in an instant and turned into water vapor that melted between heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, the thunder appeared on the giant tree, but the tree did not last long before it was destroyed and shattered.
Li Zhirui looked up at the thunder that was roaring towards him, his eyes were calm, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. When the thunder came to a mile away from him, suddenly! A giant Kun jumped out from the ground, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the thunder into its stomach!
Inside the giant Kun's body, there are countless rapidly rotating whirlpools, which continuously weaken the power of the thunder.
As the thunder was constantly dissipated, the giant Kun's body was shrinking rapidly.
If it were at this moment, Li Zhirui’s face would be terribly pale!
Because this giant Kun is the embodiment of his magic power. It is getting smaller and smaller, which means that his magic power is being consumed at a rapid rate, so his face becomes so ugly.
But fortunately, before his accumulated magic power was exhausted, the thunder was completely dissipated!
"call!"
Li Zhirui let out a long breath and staggered slightly, but as the elixir in his mouth was refined, his complexion quickly improved.
After waiting for a few moments, the inner demon still did not show up, so he looked up at the calamity cloud with some confusion.
From time to time, black light flashed in the calamity clouds, as if some living creatures were fighting.
He immediately understood in his mind that the inner demon was unwilling to respond to the call of Heaven and came to seduce and bewitch him, a cultivator who had just survived a thunder tribulation.
But no matter how unwilling you are, you still have to overcome the inner tribulation set by heaven!
A ray of black light flew out from the calamity cloud, but as soon as it entered Li Zhirui's sea of consciousness, it was surrounded by a dazzling spiritual light. With a scream, the body of the inner demon began to melt!
In just a moment, the inner demon turned into ashes.
Li Zhirui, who masters the law of purification, is not afraid of evil things like inner demons.
The moment the inner demon died, the calamity cloud also turned into spiritual energy, transformed into a giant pillar that came towards him and swallowed him whole.
Not long after, the pressure wielded by an earthly immortal cultivator spread to the surroundings.
The pressure disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared.
“Congratulations to Ruizu for breaking through to Earth Immortal!”
The sound waves rolled, stirring up countless birds and beasts to run.
“Go yourselves, I will preach to you after I come out of retreat.” After leaving these words, Li Zhirui returned to the cave and began to consolidate his own realm.
…
"The Li family has gained another earthly immortal!"
"How many years have passed? The Li family has already produced another Earth Immortal."
The independent cultivators and those cultivators from small forces are extremely envious, and they wish they could be like this.
The news spread widely in the outside world, and people inside Wanxian Mountain were also very happy.
Because Li Zhirui promised to preach to everyone when he came out of seclusion, they were now looking forward to him consolidating his realm as soon as possible so that they could listen to a sermon from an earthly immortal.
However, after he broke through to the level of Earthly Immortal, tremendous changes occurred in his personal space and the small world.
First of all, the area has expanded several times, with abundant mountains, hills, plains and forests.
The second thing is the richness of the spiritual energy. It seems that there is a spiritual vein of the earth fairy level in the portable space, which continuously provides a large amount of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy of the small world opened up in the Five Elements Immortal Root also became much richer.
In addition, there are some special functions, such as accelerating the growth of spiritual creatures in space, and the birth of a purifying spring and a yin-yang spring in the Small Thousand Worlds.
The former is because of Li Zhirui's law, and the latter is because of Yuhong.
After all, he has some power in the Small Thousand Worlds, and the laws he is good at will naturally be fed back into the incomplete heavenly laws of the Small Thousand Worlds.
…
Half a year later, the much-anticipated sermon began.
"Between heaven and earth, one Qi flows, and Yin and Yang interact..."
The clear sound of Taoism spread throughout Wanxian Mountain, but if one took a step away, one would no longer be able to hear this sound that contained the true meaning of the Tao.
There were no visions of fairies scattering flowers from the sky or golden lotuses emerging from the ground, only white lotuses floating in the air. The laws of purification gathered together to help the tribesmen purify the impurities and filth in their bodies.
Therefore, after the sermon was over, the tribesmen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and cheerful.
“Thank you for preaching Ruizu.”
Although Li Zhirui did not show up and was still sitting on the cushion in the cave, the tribesmen who had awakened from their enlightenment bowed to him and expressed their gratitude.
A few days later, Li Zhixuan and Yu Hong appeared in his cave.
"There are still 500 years before the war between the two worlds. This amount of time is definitely not enough to support our breakthrough. So we should not focus all our attention on this. We should find a way to improve our strength."
Li Zhirui said slowly: "You can also improve your own magical treasure, or seek help from external forces."
"Brother Jiu, I plan to take a trip to the Void Chaos while there is still time to understand and experience it in advance." Li Zhixuan expressed his plan.
The reason they have to go to the void is that as the attacking party, they cannot directly enter the outside world. They also need to break the boundary membrane of the other party's world in the void so that they can enter the inner world.
Before that, they have to stay in the void!
The Li family doesn't know much about the void, so they naturally have to make preparations in advance.
"You should be careful and stay safe."
He knew that Li Zhixuan's cultivation method was different from theirs, so he naturally wouldn't keep her in the family and waste her time.
"Time is running out. Not only do we need to improve our strength, but our clansmen also need it, so we must find a way to improve their cultivation."
Li Zhixuan frowned and said, "Brother Jiu, you are too anxious! Cultivation is all about accumulation, and it will eventually come to fruition. It may not be a good thing for the tribe members to hastily speed up the cultivation speed."
"Your obsession has only just dissipated, why did it become like this again?" Yu Hong also spoke up.
"After all, I still don't want to see too many casualties among my tribesmen."
"When a war breaks out, how can we care about so many things? Unless they all hide in the back and dare not go forward to join the battle, maybe they will be much safer."
"But places like these, where are the tribesmen able to squeeze in?"
"I think there's a good saying among mortals: children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, there's no need to worry so much."
Li Zhirui sighed upon hearing this, but did not continue to discuss the matter.
After the three of them calmed down, they began to communicate and discuss, learning from each other's advantages and strengths and integrating them with their own paths.
I don’t know how long the days and nights have passed in the mountains, but in the world it has been a thousand years.
Although the discussion between the three of them was not so exaggerated this time, several decades had passed by the time it ended.
And through this exchange, all three of them gained a lot.
Especially Yu Hong, he has a deeper understanding of the law of purification and the law of killing.
"Then I'll go first."
Li Zhixuan stood up straight away without any hesitation, and turned into a sword light, soaring into the sky and heading straight for the void beyond the nine heavens.
"I'm going back to the Small Thousand Worlds too."
As soon as Li Zhirui thought about it, he disappeared.
He himself also began to think about what he should do in the remaining hundreds of years to improve his strength as much as possible.
"The first thing is to find a suitable spiritual object and upgrade the magic weapon of one's own life; then it is to comprehend the laws, refine the magic power and other conventional methods."
The method of improving strength in battle is not suitable for Li Zhirui, and he can't find a suitable opponent.
Boom boom
Just as Li Zhirui was thinking, there was a sudden and violent earthquake!
However, many years ago, Li Xiuyuan had a premonition that the spiritual energy in the clan's land would not be enough, so he went against the opposition of others and started to upgrade a spiritual vein. Today, he finally succeeded in the upgrade.
Wanxian Mountain has a new immortal-level spiritual vein!
Through this incident, Li Xiuyuan's prestige in the family became stronger and stronger. After all, it was his advance preparation that prevented the family's spiritual energy from becoming insufficient after Li Zhirui broke through to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
"It seems that even if I don't interfere, the family can still develop well. I am obsessed with it!"
After saying that, Li Zhirui's mind suddenly became open, and the realm he had just broken through actually improved a little.
At the same time, he also slightly modified his next arrangements. He was no longer in a hurry to comprehend the laws and improve his strength, but instead focused on filling in the gaps, consolidating his realm, and honing his heart.
Because he realized that after his breakthrough, some problems had arisen in his state of mind and his spiritual heart, so the obsession that had clearly dissipated reappeared in his mind and affected his judgment.
…
However, after Li Zhixuan left Wanxian Mountain, he flew through the air all the way and finally arrived at the fetal membrane of the world after several hours.
It is precisely because of this visible but intangible boundary membrane that creatures from outside the domain cannot enter the Yuanling Realm, protecting countless creatures within the realm from being violated.
It is both extremely tough and unbreakable, yet very fragile, and certain magical powers can cause several times the damage to it.
Looking at the gray void realm one step away, where there were chaotic air currents and chaotic storms from time to time, Li Zhixuan stepped across the boundary membrane without any hesitation.
Whoosh——
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she came out, she was attacked by void creatures!
Fortunately, his fighting instinct had already penetrated into his bones. He reacted quickly and drew his sword to block the attack. He then slashed out a stream of sword energy and launched a counterattack.
clang!
A loud sound of metal colliding spread in the void, and Li Zhixuan also saw the appearance of the creature that attacked her. It was a very strange-looking creature covered with gray scales, but it looked like a huge stone monster.
The monster's aura was also very strange. It looked far weaker than her, but it made her feel a little threatened!
Her spiritual sense also vaguely reminded her that if she underestimated the enemy, she would most likely be in trouble!
Li Zhixuan discovered that her sword energy could actually break the defense of this strange creature. Her face changed. Over the years, she had never encountered a creature that could withstand her sword energy with its physical body.
But I didn't expect to encounter it as soon as I entered the void.
"I want to see how many sword energies you can withstand!"
In an instant, hundreds of sword energies slashed out from the black sword and directly swallowed the monster.
The extremely sharp sword energy continued to chop at its body. After consuming dozens of sword energies, it finally cut a crack.
roar!
The monster seemed to be angered as well. It roared angrily, gathered a large amount of chaotic spiritual energy in its hands, turned it into stone and smashed towards Li Zhixuan.
With a bang, the boulder was cut in half by the sword energy.
But before Li Zhixuan could continue to attack, he saw the monster fleeing towards the depths of the void at an extremely fast speed.
I was about to raise my foot to chase after him, but after thinking it over, I decided not to move.
When you first enter the void, it is better to be cautious.
However, what Li Zhixuan didn't expect was that not long after she started exploring, a deafening noise came from not far ahead.
Although it was clearly a void without the earth, I could feel the space shaking, as if some huge monster was running wildly.
"not good!"
At this moment, Li Zhixuan's heart was alarmed. She saw a monster over a thousand feet tall appear in the distance and rush towards her. (End of this chapter)
