A grand city is located where the rivers converge. The tall Tongtian Hall in the city is extremely spectacular, reflecting dazzling light in the sunlight.
A full year has passed since True Lord Biluo transcended the tribulation and ascended.
Today, Tongtian City is busy again, and is about to usher in its second tribulation after a thousand years.
Compared with the last time when Biluo Zhenjun went through the tribulation, this time the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom Qian Yuanzi's tribulation was much more low-key.
The main reason is that many of the ninth-level masters of the Mountain and Sea Realm have gone back to seclusion to achieve breakthroughs. Everyone is in seclusion and it is impossible to come out to participate in your tribulation ceremony.
There is another reason, that is, although Qian Yuanzi is very old, he came from a remote ancient country in Zhongzhou and has relatively average connections.
Of course, the ancient Jingjue Kingdom was also a behemoth, connecting the Eastern Wasteland and Zhongzhou, and there were countless powerful people.
As a result, the Eastern Barren Territory as a whole rose to prominence, and the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom also became the most remote corner of the Zhongzhou Territory, and it slowly withered from then on.
However, with Qian Yuanzi in charge, although the ancient country of Jingjue was in decline, it never perished.
In fact, Qian Yuanzi has lived for more years than Zhenjun Biluo, and his longevity is not much left.
Even if True Lord Biluo didn't take the lead last time, Qian Yuanzi was still prepared to use his last life to fight for it.
A year ago, seeing True Lord Biluo successfully overcoming the tribulation inspired Qian Yuanzi and made him more confident this time.
He also wants to enter the palace to survive the tribulation and ascend to the upper realm.
"Fellow Taoists, thank you for sending me off. I will enter the palace to survive the tribulation!" Qian Yuanzi's cultivation had reached the peak of the mountain and sea realm. He was full of energy, turned around, clasped his fists, and walked into the Tongtian Palace.
Watching Qian Yuanzi walk in, the fire in the eyes of a majestic-looking man in black gradually extinguished, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Is there no news about Qiu Yuanchong yet?"
This man in black is none other than the Supreme Elder of the Black Water Sect and Qiu Hai of the ninth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
A year ago, he asked his descendant Qiu Yuanchong to go to the Jingsha Sea to get the wood-attribute spiritual fluid to help him break through and reach the peak of the mountain and sea realm.
As a result, after waiting for a whole year, there was still no news.
He also wasted a year in Tongtian City. How could he not be anxious when he saw others entering the palace to undergo the tribulation?
His subordinates hesitated for a moment and then said again, "Zhenjun, a disciple from the sect came all the way this morning and reported that Qiu Yuanchong's birthstone jade tablet placed in the ancestral hall was broken a while ago."
"What!" Zhenjun Qiu Hai roared, and an invisible powerful force was instantly released.
His subordinates suddenly turned pale and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Damn it, who did this?" Qiu Hai's eyes burned with anger.
Qiu Yuanchong was not only a supreme elder of the Black Water Sect, but also his grandson. He went to obtain spiritual fluid for him, but died in an unknown manner.
"We are still investigating. It may be due to the tide of beasts in the Lancang Sea." The man under his command said with an expression on his face.
"Beast Tide, Beast Tide!" Qiu Hai sternly said, "If he had died in the Lancang Sea Beast Tide, he would have died long ago! Why did the jade medal of his life break only now! Bastard! Bastard! Someone must be trying to steal my soul.
He was killed because of his liquid!"
The aura of the ninth-level master in the mountain and sea realm was released, and the surrounding subordinates were suppressed. They knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to release their breath.
"Let them..." Qiu Hai originally wanted to ask Heishuimen to send a few more people.
But thinking about this kind of thing, it is related to his breakthrough and ascension, and finally said coldly, "A bunch of trash! You all get up! This time I will go to Jingsha Sea in person. You all showed me the sect's fate in Tongtian City.
Business."
"yes!"
Qiu Hai's figure moved and left the city.
Seeing others transcending tribulations and ascending one by one, he couldn't wait any longer, so he planned to go to Jingsha Sea in person this time.
On the day Qiu Hai left Tongtian City, news came that Qian Yuanzi, the second person to overcome the tribulation, failed to overcome the tribulation and failed to ascend to the upper world, so he died.
Although Qian Yuanzi failed, the trend of transcending tribulations and ascension started from Zhenjun Biluo, and would not stop easily. Then more powerful men would enter the Tongtian Palace, attack the tribulations, and want to ascend to the upper realm.
The distant sea of quiet sand, deep underground in the desert.
Xia Yu sat cross-legged in a tree hole, paying no attention to what was going on outside, focusing on cultivating and making breakthroughs.
Putting your sight into his sea of qi, you can see four giant swords standing on the vast road foundation with a radius of two thousand miles. The giant swords stand upright, with a sword platform made of huge rocks at the bottom of the sword, and a circle around the sword platform.
The reliefs one by one are exactly the process of Xia Yu refining each World Sword.
The tip of the sword pierced the highest point in the sky, supporting a sky that looked extremely spectacular.
Now the fourth sword of the world has appeared, which is the thick earth sword with earth attributes.
Just because it had just started to be condensed, the sword had not yet solidified and looked like a transparent light and shadow.
With a thought in his mind, Xia Yu raised his hand to grab the void in front of him, and a metal bottle flew from a nearby mineral vein.
He opened the bottle cap and found a bottle of spiritual liquid inside, which was all earth-attributed spiritual liquid.
He has tasted three flavors of spiritual liquid before.
The metallic spirit fluid was like a sword entering his throat, the wood-attribute spirit fluid caused his meridians to proliferate, and the fire-attribute spirit fluid made him feel like he was burning inside. This time it was the earth-attribute spirit fluid.
Xia Yu took a sip.
I don't know whether it's because he's used to it, or because his body tempering technique has reached the middle level, but the earth-type spiritual liquid is not very unpleasant to drink.
After entering the entrance, Xia Yu immediately activated the "Nine Swords of the Void" and began to refine the earth-attribute spiritual power, and the thick earth sword solidified little by little.
Cultivation does not distinguish between day and night. Xia Yu practiced underground day and night.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
As the Nine Swords of the Void Sutra deepened, it became increasingly difficult to improve one's own cultivation. In half a year, Xia Yu only improved two levels.
From the third level of the Mountain and Sea Realm to the fifth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the thick earth sword has also solidified a lot.
Compared to the sharpness of the Zhengang Sword, the vitality of the Soul-Destroying Sword, and the explosion of the Great Sun Sword, the Thick Earth Sword gave Xia Yu a heavy feeling.
With the blessing of the Thick Earth Sword, no matter which weapon Xia Yu uses, he will automatically give his opponent a stronger sense of pressure.
"Very good! At this speed, it will only take two or three years at most, and I will definitely reach the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
A look of determination flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. He took another sip of spiritual liquid and continued practicing.
…
After half a year of journey, Zhenjun Qiu Hai has arrived at Tucheng in Jingsha Sea.
"Many years later, Tucheng will still be the same as before." Qiu Hai glanced at this city that seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow sand.
Many years ago, he was chased by his enemies and came here. By chance, he got a small pool of earth-type spiritual liquid. He happened to be practicing earth-type exercises. The liquid not only healed his wounds,
And it helped him break through a big bottleneck in his practice.
Not only did he take revenge for this, but he also finally cultivated to the ninth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He had been to the cave where he got the spiritual liquid several times, but the speed of condensing the spiritual liquid in it was too slow. He had taken the spiritual liquid several times in the process, but only a small amount was of little help to him.
So after a certain time, he buried the entrance of the cave and never came back.
He just wanted to wait for many years to pass, and then obtain a batch of accumulated spiritual liquid to use it to reach the peak of the mountain and sea realm.
Compared with Qiu Yuanchong, he had been here many times and walked into the desert alone without anyone to guide him.
Soon after, he arrived at his destination, but when he peeled away the yellow sand at the entrance of the cave, his expression changed.
"Someone has entered!" His heart skipped a beat before turning into a ray of light and rushing into the cave.
After a while, he stood in the cave hall deep underground, looking at the quicksand under his feet.
He didn't know that the quicksand had destroyed the stone mortar. In his opinion, someone must have taken away the spiritual liquid and then destroyed the stone mortar.
"Bastard! Who is it! Who is it?" he was furious.
This man not only killed his grandson, but also took away the spiritual fluid that belonged to him, and finally destroyed his stone mortar. It was simply abominable!
He raised his head, his sinister eyes suddenly moved, and he quickly flew up.
I saw an upside-down stalactite being cut open.
His eyes moved and he looked at other stalactites. The other stalactites were not passive, but he also became curious, so he also took out his weapon and cut open a stalactite. He quickly discovered the soft and waxy tofu-like earthy nature hidden inside the stalactite.
mineral.
"No wonder there is spiritual fluid, it turns out there is such a thing!" Qiu Hai was immediately ecstatic.
Although the spiritual liquid was stolen, these earth minerals are still very useful to him. They can be used to make elixirs and can still help him break through!
