Located in the east of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the vast expanse of water is the East China Sea in the wilderness.
The sea of clouds is vast and boundless. The clouds in the sky rise and fall in the endless water vapor. The clouds are filled with smoke. From time to time, a few rows of seagulls chirp across the sea of clouds, adding a touch of color to this boundless sea.
At the end of the line of sight, where the water and the sky meet, there are three or five dark ridges faintly visible, like whales inviting to swim in the ocean, or like rocks just emerging from the water.
The eagle strikes the sky, and the fish flies to the shallow bottom. It is really a good picture of the sky high and the sea vast.
According to ancient legend, in ancient times, the East China Sea has always been the habitat and breeding ground of the dragon clan, the overlord of the water.
Later, at the end of the ancient times, the world underwent drastic changes, and the dragon tribe became extinct in the wilderness. Gradually, the East China Sea became a place where countless aquatic tribes thrived.
At the same time, it has also become a paradise for many Qi practitioners to go out to sea to practice and search for treasures.
Rumble~
On the sea, the wind and clouds changed suddenly. One moment it was clear and the sky was clear, and the next moment it turned into a violent storm. The silver thunder continued to roll and jump between the dark clouds.
The strong wind suddenly rose, setting off boundless black waves and crashing against the rocks on the shore of the island.
On the island, on a towering cliff, a huge crane stood stubbornly with its head held high amidst the earth-shattering thunder and wind and rain.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a trace of fear hidden in those stubborn eyes.
In a cave behind the cliff, Xie Heng sat quietly cross-legged, waiting for the end of the thunder.
"Xiao Daojun, Xiaodao Jun, can Xiaobai come back?"
At this moment, a slightly trembling voice came from Xie Heng's ears.
"Xiao Bai, if you hold on a little longer, this storm will be over soon."
Looking at Xiaobai's pitiful appearance, Xie Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, but in an instant, it was replaced by a touch of determination.
"Xiao Bai, carefully understanding the mystery in this natural thunder will be of great help to you in overcoming the fear of thunder in your heart."
Rumble~
Before Xie Heng finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck directly beside Xiao Bai, splitting a huge boulder in half.
唳~
In an instant, a high-pitched crane roar suddenly sounded amidst the roar of thunder.
Seeing this, Xie Heng was shocked and turned pale. Just when he was about to make a move, the spiritual gourd next to him grabbed him.
"Boy, relax, it's okay."
At this moment, Xiao Bai seemed to be angered by the thunder. The hair all over his body exploded, his snow-white wings suddenly fluttered, and his huge body soared into the sky, constantly circling in the violent storm.
"Isn't it just thunder? I'm not afraid."
"Xiaobai, this is..."
Xie Heng looked at the white cranes circling under the thunderclouds, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Hey, this little guy."
The spiritual gourd dressed in white looked at Xiaobai in the sky who seemed to be fighting against the thunder in the sky, shaking his head and smiling.
"In the past few months, in order to eliminate the fear of natural disaster in this little guy's heart, you have not hesitated to put him alone in the storm and thunder of the East China Sea, feeling the natural power of heaven and earth."
"Now, it should be time for success."
唳~
At this moment, among the thunder, there was another crane cry.
But in the roar of the crane, the fear began to gradually fade away, and instead was filled with a kind of relaxation and joy that broke the shackles.
Finally, the dark clouds covering the sky dispersed, and the golden sunshine fell on the blue sea.
The blue waves were rippling, shining with bright white light under the sunlight. Smelling the light salty smell in the air after the rain, sensing Xiaobai's inner relaxation and joy, Xie Heng's lips curled up with a faint smile.
smile.
"Little one, how do you feel now?"
Looking at Xiaobai who looked relaxed and comfortable, Ling Yun Gourd asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiaobai's pair of eyes were clear and crystal clear, and his slightly rotating eyes revealed an inexplicable brilliance.
"Now I feel that my whole mind is very relaxed, as if a kind of shackles have been opened."
"Okay, it seems that these five months of Ya'an Tinglei were indeed not in vain."
Seeing Xiao Bai's current state, Xie Heng was very excited. He turned to look at the spiritual gourd aside and asked:
"Brother Calabash, with Xiaobai's current condition, he should be ready to survive the heavenly tribulation."
"good."
Ling Yun Gourd looked Xiao Bai up and down, nodded slightly.
"This little guy's current cultivation has reached the peak of the fusion realm, and his state of mind has gradually become perfect during these five months of listening to thunder. It's time to go through the thunder tribulation."
"Little guy, in the next few days, you should prepare well and prepare to face the catastrophe of your own transformation."
Speaking of this, Ling Yun Gourd suddenly asked:
"Xiao Bai, do you know what you need to pay attention to when the demon clan transforms into a catastrophe?"
Hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes flashed with doubts. After pondering for a long time, Xiaobai slowly spoke.
"In the past, when we were in Haiyun Palace, Xiaobai heard the Enlightened Beast Master mention that the practice of the demon race is different from that of the human race. When passing through the catastrophe of transformation, one needs to go through three or nine celestial tribulations."
"As for the others, I'm not very sure."
Looking at Xiao Bai who was frowning and thinking, Ling Yun Gourd nodded without saying anything. Xie Heng couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Calabash, Xie knows that the probability of successfully surviving the demon clan's catastrophe of transformation is extremely low."
"Is there any way you can make Xiao Bai's success rate higher?"
As soon as Xie Heng said this, Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at the hopeful expressions in their eyes, Ling Yun Gourd was also a little helpless, and then he calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Don't try to be opportunistic."
"The Heavenly Tribulation is originally a test for the cultivation of sentient beings by the Way of Heaven, and it is also a time when the Way of Heaven and all sentient beings settle the cause and effect. If you try to take advantage of others, the final result will only be harming others and yourself, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Looking at Ling Yun Gourd's solemn expression, Xiao Bai's face suddenly fell down, with a look of disappointment. Seeing the little guy's aggrieved face, Xie Heng's heart moved and he asked:
"Brother Calabash, if we use formations to help us overcome the calamity, this shouldn't be considered opportunistic."
"Haha, that doesn't really count."
Saying that, Ling Yun Gourd glanced sideways at Xie Heng and asked lightly.
"Do you have the materials to set up the formation now? Do you know which formations are suitable for resisting the catastrophe? Even if you know, there are still two months until the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you have time to search?"
The Ling Yun Gourd's series of questions directly knocked Xie Heng into confusion, and completely shattered the last trace of luck in Xiao Bai's heart.
"Xiao Daojun, don't worry, Xiaobai can successfully survive the catastrophe on his own."
"Yes, I am ambitious."
Ling Yun Gourd glanced at Xiao Bai appreciatively and said.
"Little one, you have to remember, God will help those who help themselves."
After saying that, Ling Yun Gourd glanced sideways at Xie Heng and continued.
"It's just that the Heavenly Tribulation of the demon clan is different from that of the human race after all. And this so-called Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation is the first step for the Monster clan to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to get rid of the demon drive and achieve human status."
"When the demon race transforms, it needs to undergo the baptism of three nine heavenly tribulations and use the power of thunder to expel the cold evil spirit from the body. While the evil spirit is being washed away, karmic fire will also fall from the sky to wash away the karma.
force."
"At the same time, use the power of creation under the catastrophe to cultivate the Five Elements Dharma body that conforms to your own path, condense your own innate soul, and awaken your own innate magical powers."
Having said this, Ling Yun Gourd paused for a moment, then shot out a ray of light, completely covering Xiao Bai.
In an instant, two black and red auras emerged from Xiao Bai's head and wrapped around Xiao Bai's head. The two auras entangled each other and soon turned into a small white crane, hovering above his head.
Seeing what was happening above Xiao Bai's head, Ling Yun Gourd nodded slightly, withdrew the light, put the two breaths back into Xiao Bai's body, and said slowly:
"Yes, yes, it is indeed the same body as water and fire. This little guy is indeed the spiritual beast of Kunlun."
"What is fire and water?"
When Xiaobai and Xie Heng heard this, they were both stunned. They looked at the Ling Yun Gourd and asked:
"Haha, the so-called water and fire body is that the innate foundation of this little white crane contains the two paths of water and fire. After going through the heavenly tribulation, it can become a mysterious body. It is an extremely rare multi-attribute body among the demon clan.
.”
When he heard that he could achieve a multi-attribute magic body, Xiaobai immediately raised his little head with an arrogant look, which made Ling Yun Gourd and Xie Heng smile involuntarily.
"By the way, Brother Calabash, are these three nine heavenly tribulations the twenty-seven heavenly thunders?"
"Hey, little one, these so-called three nine heavenly tribulations are nine innate wind tribulations, nine innate fire tribulations, and nine innate thunder tribulations."
"Among them, the innate fire calamity is even more mixed with the karmic fire calamity."
Ling Yun Gourd paused slightly and continued.
"The nine innate wind tribulations are used to wash away the cold evil spirit from the monsters' bodies, while the nine innate fire tribulations are used to purify the karma of the monsters. As for the final nine thunder tribulations, they are aimed at
The dharma body comes the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xie Heng suddenly remembered Shu Cang's Hunyuan Heavenly Tribulation. Then he asked:
"Brother Calabash, then when that guy Shu Cang went through the mixed Yuan Tian tribulation, why were they all thunder tribulations?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun Gourd snorted coldly.
"Hmph, that's because he took away the human race's Taoist body."
"In addition, this guy's cultivation a long time ago must have survived the heavenly tribulation and achieved the Hunyuan realm. Later, due to being suppressed, his cultivation level fell. Only when the soul re-transformed into the form of a demon can he have the world.
Disaster is coming."
"If this were not the case, why would he have to go through another calamity and commit such sins?"
After Ling Yun Gourd said this, he turned to look at Xiao Bai, sensing that the calamity energy in his soul was getting stronger and stronger, he asked calmly:
"Little guy, I have said so much, are you ready?"
