Chapter 587 Tao Zun Appears
Boom!
Thunder is rolling from the sky.
The lightning strikes were so powerful that each strike seemed to condense the weight of an ancient sacred mountain into one point.
At the moment of falling, the space collapses around it, and the suction generated can deflect the celestial body.
But fortunately, the thunder tribulation is a world of its own and has minimal impact on the outside world.
Yuan sits cross-legged in the thunder clouds, bathed in divine light, and protected by the power of reincarnation. He adopted the most unpretentious and safe way to overcome the calamity. He did not take the initiative to attack the calamity, but used defense instead of attack.
Normally speaking, defense is indeed more expensive than attack, but those with great magical powers always have their own unique methods. What is more common is the ultimate control of a certain Tao method, which can control the scope of defense within a certain range.
Rather than developing a body-protecting method with no blind spots, getting caught up in the pros and cons of one thing and the other.
Therefore, the golden elixir is usually brave in overcoming tribulations, the Nascent Soul is mostly safe in overcoming tribulations, and the transformation into gods is usually endured in overcoming tribulations.
The higher the level of the heavenly tribulation, the stronger its power. There are only a few heavenly thunders in the golden elixir stage, which can still be broken, but the number of heavenly tribulations increases as time goes by, making it difficult for manpower to defeat them.
This is why monks pay more attention to Taoism and magical powers than to magic power.
A good magical power can allow a monk to exert dozens of times his own power.
Boom!
Every time the thunder falls, the power of reincarnation will absorb and transform it, and release it upwards to further offset the subsequent thunder.
Has quite the charm of carrying a thousand catties with four liang.
It is also the ultimate control of reincarnation, rotation, wear and tear, and counterattack.
Yuan remained motionless, silently reciting the number of heavenly tribulations.
One-nine heavenly tribulations, twenty-nine heavenly tribulations, three-nine heavenly tribulations…
He passed through one catastrophe after another with ease, and no thunderbolt could break through his defense. But Yuan didn't take it lightly. On the contrary, his mood became heavier and heavier. Every time he passed through the calamity, it was like hanging a knife above his head.
Nine is the ultimate, and each time is a nine-fold heavenly tribulation, which means that in the end it will be the most powerful tribulation since the beginning of the world.
It may also be a blow that he cannot resist.
Because reincarnation itself has achieved enlightenment, and because reincarnation is mixed with two laws.
Life, death and time, everything exists in life and death, and it is often time that determines life and death. But the law of time itself does not determine life and death. It is common sense that it exists like the wind and grass.
The Wangchuan River is essentially a tributary of the River of Time.
One hundred years ago, Yuan found Li Yi after the agreed five hundred years.
He asked: "Fellow Taoist, I am going, can I become a Taoist?"
The young man lying on a chair basking in the sun looked up at him slightly, and then looked away. His words were careless, but concise and direct, in line with the brief of a news broadcast.
“Ten deaths without life.”
Although Yuan had already predicted it, he already had an answer as to whether he could succeed, but he was still a little unwilling to do so.
“Qiu Wuji can achieve enlightenment, why can’t I?”
Qiu Wuji's enlightenment gave him a little more unrealistic fantasies and a little more unwillingness.
In the past, Wu Xiang’s position has been determined. His failure was destiny. Li Changsheng was able to succeed, but he also showed extraordinary power, which was beyond his reach.
But Qiu Wuji is on the same level as himself.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "As far as cultivation is concerned, you have gone further than Qiu Wuji before he became a Taoist. You are the first person in Taoism under Wuxiang... Haha, if you refine it in this way, you can reach the peak of the Holy King. They have all reached a level that is unprecedented and unprecedented in a certain field."
“The first person in martial arts, the first person in Taoism, which one do you think sounds better?”
Facing this kind of praise-like title, Yuan, who was about to face a catastrophe, did not accept it and said: "If you don't become enlightened, it will be a false name."
“It’s better than leaving nothing behind.” The young man’s posture was leisurely, and his aloofness was in sharp contrast to Yuan’s solemn expression.
He is already formless, even stronger than formless.
And I am about to die.
"Perhaps you can merge with the Tao and reincarnate, so you are also without form. This is your destiny. Although you failed back then, you left behind reincarnation. After countless years of evolution, reincarnation has already reached the formless level. You can just sit back and enjoy the benefits.”
Hearing this, Yuan said with a bitter look on his face: "Is it true that tens of thousands of years of being without form are also without form?"
He can indeed become formless, but the price is that his self will be worn away by reincarnation and become a pure law like the ancestral dragon.
This is an irreversible process, and once you get along with Daoyuan, you will definitely die.
“How long can you live?” the young man asked.
“Fifty thousand years.”
"Then you probably only need to pay ten thousand years of life to enjoy forty thousand years of formlessness. Others are all Chao Wen Tao, but you can get forty thousand years and you are not satisfied?"
“This is just the formlessness of samsara.”
“Practitioners seem to be carved out of the same mold until the end.”
The young man sat up slightly, with calm eyes and a smile on his face.
Smile very slightly, not deliberately, very naturally.
Laughing is actually very common when humans are talking to friends. Sometimes it may only take a few actions or one sentence to make people laugh. But monks don't know how to do it, because what is important in cultivating immortals is that the heart is like a clear mirror and unmoving like a mountain.
Yuan couldn't help but wonder why the other party was smiling. Was it a pretense? But the opponent's strength obviously does not require any disguise. Pretending itself is against nature and practice.
It should be a happy mood.
I just don’t know where this joy and relaxation come from.
“Xian Chang! I have made a breakthrough again!”
A clear voice came, and Zhu Xue ran wildly from a distance, her large Taoist robe unable to cover her adult body. He was about to pounce on Li Yi, but the next second he was held down by Li Yi with one hand. It was difficult to get close and he could only wave his hands.
Li Yi said with some disgust: "There are differences between men and women. You are not the youngest, so don't stick to me."
It was okay when I was young, but when I grow up, I should stay away from myself.
Zhu Xue curled her lips, and then instantly shrank her figure so that she could get closer.
Li Yi was quite helpless, but seeing that Zhu Xue was about to drop the little pearl, he still held it in his arms.
“Girl, you used to say you wanted to grow up every day, but now you have grown up and changed back all the time. It’s not good to want both.”
“Shu Shu doesn’t want to grow up anymore. She can’t sleep in when she grows up. Mother Rabbit won’t help me bathe, and the fairy won’t hug me anymore. It’s no good at all!”
Zhu Xue shook her head repeatedly, pulled Li Yi's collar with a smile, and climbed to the top of his head in three or five moves.
“Whatever you want, six hundred years old is still young.”
At this moment, Yuan had some enlightenment.
The source of smile.
Li Yi took the little guy off his head, held it in his arms, and returned his gaze to Yuan. Still with a slight smile on his face, he asked in a calm and lazy voice: "Yuan, you will definitely die if you survive the tribulation now." , and I don’t want to see my friend die, so let’s do this, I’ll give you another hundred years.”
“A hundred years?”
“Five hundred years?”
Li Yi asked back, his tone not fluctuating much, as usual.
But it always makes people wonder if they heard it wrong. This is not borrowing money, but overcoming a disaster.
Yuan was stunned and said: "Fellow Taoist, this is to overcome the tribulation."
"Is there any problem?" Li Yi tilted his head slightly, "I could extend your time five hundred years ago, but there is no reason why I can't extend it five hundred years later."
…”
Yuan was speechless.
It makes sense, but something seems wrong.
“One hundred years is not just a matter of delay, but I have recently realized how to make people enlightened. The method is that those who imitate me will die, and those who imitate me will live.”
A simple sword suddenly appeared. Yuan could feel the boundless meaning of swordsmanship in it just by taking a glance at it.
Li Yidao: "I once taught Li Changsheng's Taoist method to others, but found that no one could do it. I thought this method was difficult to learn, but I didn't expect that I was too hasty."
“My Tao is simplified and is without form. Do you want to learn it?”
Yuan came back to his senses, then without hesitation he bowed his hands and said: "Disciple, please give me the law."
Since you are seeking the Tao, you should call yourself a disciple.
The next moment Taishang Sword tapped his forehead, Yuan felt Qiu Wuji's swordsmanship and the method of enlightenment in it.
It is also a problem that Li Yi has been unable to solve, how to teach his "Tao" to others. At first, he wanted to copy Li Changsheng's path, or improve the laws of heaven and earth with his own understanding.
The former failed, but the latter has succeeded.
But the latter is ultimately within the framework of heaven and earth. Once it involves enlightenment, it is not something he can decide.
Take off the superficial things that others can understand. It is equivalent to the time when Li Yi castrated Zhao Si in order to let him learn the thunder method.
—
Eighty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, Holy King Tribulations.
A Taoist holding a heavenly sword appeared, splitting the cycle of reincarnation with one sword, and cut off half of Luoyuan's hair.
Yuan looked up and saw the lifelike Li Changsheng. He knew clearly that this was just an afterimage left in the world and not the real person, but he was still a little frightened.
Last time he was almost beaten to death.
“Behead!”
The Taoist slashed his sword again, like stars falling, and the sky was filled with murderous aura.
Yuan held the sky with both hands, and the phantom of Fengdu City appeared, and the reincarnation between illusion and reality slowly turned.
The two collide.
In an instant, the sky and the earth became dark.
Outsiders can no longer see what happened during the Heavenly Tribulation. They can only see fragments of sword light falling like raindrops outside the Heavenly Tribulation, and the magnificent and ancient breath of reincarnation entangled with them.
Less than one thousandth, it would be like a natural disaster if it fell to the mortal world.
The wind was blowing on the ocean thousands of miles away, and a huge wave slowly rolled up, ten meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters!
Like a mountain rising from the ocean abyss, the largest wave in Blue Star's history formed in an instant and inevitably rushed to the distant land.
Immediately afterwards, many immortal palace powerful men took action, forcibly suppressing it with supreme power, and flattened the tsunami with a slap.
There is no need for Li Yi to take action at all.
In the world of Immortal Palace, only Wuxiang and Heaven and Earth can shake it. Everything else is false.
In the past, the Chinese government, a group of immortal sects, and many powerful monks still had to compete with them. However, all their struggles only delayed the arrival of the prosperous age.
One moment, two moments, three moments...
The catastrophe has already been chaotic and it is difficult to distinguish the enemy.
The sword's light is like jade, reincarnation of life and death.
During the thunder tribulation, there are also the evolution of rare and exotic beasts, such as true dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and countless ferocious beasts, each of which is comparable to a holy king.
The abyss was buried in it and has long since disappeared, but the power of reincarnation that penetrates the heavenly tribulation from time to time, and the dim yellow light piercing the thunder tribulation beasts, all indicate that the Lord of Tongyou is still alive.
It also once again reminded the holy kings of heaven and earth of Qiu Wuji six hundred years ago, the invincible sword master.
Yuan is also like Qiu Wuji, and has actually exceeded the scope of a holy king.
Boom!
Along with the explosion sound like the sky falling apart and the earth shattering, the sound of broken swords was heard, and the eight or nine heavenly tribulations dissipated.
Yuan stood under the calamity, his breath a little confused, his body tall and straight, and there were a few sword marks on his face. Overall, he was not seriously injured.
Before he could be happy, an unspeakable coldness fell from the sky.
Buzz!
The ninety-nine tribulations of heaven appear.
Those are nine purple sky divine thunders, floating in the thunder clouds like small snakes, not showing mountains or dew, and their momentum is not even as high as the first level of heavenly tribulation.
Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground again and returned to the most primitive way of overcoming the tribulation.
The first purple sky thunder fell.
The reincarnation is broken and blood splashes into the sky.
Yuan was injured, but his breath had increased visibly.
The second purple sky thunder fell.
Yuan vomited blood from his mouth.
The third purple sky thunder fell.
He vomited blood for the second time, his breath was weak, and his body was shaking slightly.
The thunder calamity is so calm that the Zixiao Divine Thunder does not need to brew, but it gives those who overcome the calamity time to breathe.
This is a sign that heaven and earth allow the second person to achieve enlightenment through force to appear.
————
Hanshui Slope.
Li Yi asked everyone in the family to come out to observe the formless tribulation, and he took great care of Dongyun Shu. The two of them blended together like two cultivators, allowing Dongyun Shu to completely see the formless tribulation.
This is not about favoritism, but because other people present have not yet reached that level, and it is not a good thing to encourage others.
Dong Yunshu asked: "Brother Li, can he succeed?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "You should ask, what is his success rate? Success or failure depends on him, not me."
“What are his odds?”
"Less than 10%, a little more than Qiu Wuji. His predecessors have helped him find his way out, and he has followed his own path by doing his own thing."
"And me?"
“I hope you won’t touch the formless tribulation.”
Dong Yunshu raised her head in confusion after hearing this. Li Yi reached out to help her comb her slightly messy hair and said: "But it is obvious that you don't want to become a Taoist, so I let you see this formless tribulation."
“Brother Li, I will become enlightened.”
Dong Yunshu said firmly, while Li Yi just smiled helplessly, neither encouraging nor stopping.
This is Dong Yunshu’s way and her choice. No one is his vassal, nor should anyone be his vassal.
The only choice Li Yi can make is not to encourage him.
“Let’s see the success or failure of a seeker.”
Three spring, summer, autumn and winter passed.
Three more purple sky thunders fell. Yuan's left arm was broken, his right eye turned into nothingness, his body was shaky, and there was only a thin line between life and death.
There are no big surprises, nor too many miracles.
Many ghosts and gods in Fengdu began to kneel down outside the cold water, praying to the immortals to save Yuan's life. Li Yi ignored it, because if Yuan still had the energy left, he would slap each of them.
This is the hatred of blocking the road.
As long as there is still one breath left, there is still a chance of enlightenment.
Death without regrets.
Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground again during the thunder tribulation. On the verge of death, he began to prepare for the last three purple sky thunders.
Spring turns to winter.
Li Yi looked at the snow scene in the courtyard. Originally, the cold water did not snow, but due to the climate change caused by the resurgence of spiritual energy in six hundred years.
So it starts to snow in Hanshui every March.
Suddenly, Li Yi's lazy expression changed slightly, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and his body sat upright slightly.
In the vast wind and snow, snowflakes fell one by one, carrying countless fragments of the heavenly law. The heavenly law shed part of the power of heaven and earth like a shed skin.
These fragments eventually transformed into a human form.
Two meters tall, with a slender body, only limbs and no facial features, and seems to have thousands of faces, similar to the shadow of heaven.
Tao Zun.
Or a part, about one-fifth.
“Are you looking for death?”
Li Yi tilted his head, slightly confused, and asked without any malice in his tone.
Although it is only a part, once the loss is too large, it will also lead to death, not to mention that Li Yi had cut off part of it before.
Before getting an answer, the old tree spirit, Panhu, and Fengwa suddenly appeared and surrounded the shadow of Dao Zun.
"crazy?"
“Maybe he came to admit defeat.”
"killed."
Feng Wa looked fierce, Panhu guessed, and the old tree spirit also looked confused.
Tao Zun cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, I'm here to ask you for advice."
This was an unplanned move. It was supposed to start from Qiu Wuji and end with Qiu Wuji. But Li Changsheng was stronger than he expected, so powerful that it was beyond his reach.
And Dao Zun also expected his own failure. Facing an existence that has gone further than himself, there can be no absolute victory.
