Chapter 212 The mystery of ascension, advancement of thunder power
Seeing the two god-transforming monks Hong Xu and Bai Heng leaving, Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
'It seems that Hongbeard has not discovered his identity. ’
After practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, Wei Zhong is completely different from before. Not to mention that when he was building the foundation, he also used the Taoism of Time to change his appearance and breath. It was reasonable for Hongxu to not be able to see it for a while.
After all, the monks who transform themselves into gods are still monks, and they don’t know everything.
At the same time, Wei Zhong was also glad that Hongxu didn't touch his bones as soon as he came up, otherwise he would definitely find clues after contact.
Although Wei Zhong's life span and cultivation level are quite consistent, his identity may no longer be concealed.
A foundation-building monk with ordinary qualifications actually entered the realm of Yuanying in more than two hundred years, which will inevitably arouse suspicion again in the two gods who were already suspicious of Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong was not willing to be exposed in such a grand manner in front of the cultivator.
'At least not now. ’
Without a way to secure the two of them, Wei Zhong would not reveal his identity.
‘At least I have to wait until I reach the late Nascent Soul stage. ’
At that time, with the help of Taoism over the years, you can achieve the late stage cultivation of temporary god transformation, and it will be a truly safe time.
‘The only remaining flaw is my record at the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. Although it is unlikely that a monk of the Incarnation Spirit will strictly investigate the identity of a Nascent Soul monk, it is better to be careful. ’
Wei Zhong has decided to use his power to completely delete his records of his cultivation experience in Mangyuan Mansion once he returns to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
After thinking about it, he looked at the two beasts in front of him.
Wei Zhong could sense the hostility of Hongxu and Bai Heng towards the monsters.
Black Crow's face was livid, and he seemed to be still angry at what Red Beard said.
Lei Bao, on the other hand, looked horrified.
'Fortunately, I don't have the means to capture this thunder species, otherwise I, Old Leopard, will die when I capture the thunder species. ’
"Two fellow Taoists, my spiritual power has been restored, and I will leave now."
Wei Zhong left at the right time, leaving all kinds of spirit wine and tea for the two beasts. Then he put Jiucai and Jinmei into the cave, turned into lightning and escaped.
It took several days to return to Yunzhou City from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
I had just arrived at Yuxiao Lingshan, and before I could retreat, Shanjie and Miaolishan came to my door.
During the dinner, Shan Jie rolled out a cloud pattern token and explained:
"This order is the symbol of the special seat for the elders of my Gathering Chamber of Commerce. It can be used to replace the guest token in the hand of fellow Taoist."
Wei Zhong picked it up:
"Special seats? If my memory is correct, there are only six special seats in the Chamber of Commerce. What are these?"
"From now on, the number of special seats for the elders of the Chamber of Commerce will be expanded to seven. Fellow Daoist Wei, you are the Nascent Soul, but I dare not exclude you,"
Miaoli Shan teased with a smile.
Wei Zhong nodded and put the two orders together, and his own information instantly appeared in the cloud pattern token.
"In addition to this token, I have one more important thing to do to visit my fellow Taoist."
Wei Zhong raised his head and looked puzzled:
"Master, please speak!"
"Miao Yatou should have told fellow Taoist monks before that there is an opportunity hidden behind the "Shen Yin Jue", and she can share it with fellow Taoists when they refine the fourth-level puppet."
"It's true, but now is the time?"
Shan Jie shook his head:
"Unfortunately, this fourth-level puppet was unable to help us obtain this opportunity."
Then Shanjie told in detail the secrets between the secret realm and the "Shen Yin Jue".
"Immortal Puppet Sect, Ascension Platform, Puppet Trial..."
Wei Zhong looked dazed. He thought it was an opportunity to become a god, but he didn't expect it to be related to ascension.
Nascent Soul approached the Time Treasure Record, and Wei Zhong asked directly:
"Thunder Dragon, have you ever heard of the name of the Immortal Puppet Sect?"
Thunder Dragon looked confused:
"This name is not very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it."
Wei Zhong was surprised and doubtful.
As a special being like the True Spirit of Law, how could Thunder Dragon have a bad memory?
Either this dragon is trying to save face, or there is something fishy about it.
But no matter what, it was difficult for Wei Zhong to get any useful information from him.
Returning to the outside world, Wei Zhongmian had doubts:
"The Immortal Puppet Sect, in the name of an immortal, is quite loud. Does the leader know the details of this sect?"
Shan Jie shook his head:
"I heard this name from Senior Hongxu. All I know is that it is a force in the spiritual world, famous for its puppetry skills, but I don't know any other information."
Wei Zhong rubbed his chin:
"But what does this Immortal Puppet Sect have to do with the chance of ascension? There should be more than one ascension platform in our world!"
"Indeed, there are still three ascension platforms in our human world. But a thousand years ago, these ascension platforms were half-used and can no longer be used.
"It can be said that the path to ascension for monks in this world has been cut off for a long time."
"What?"
Wei Zhong looked shocked.
I had only been thinking about my ascension for a few days, but I didn't expect to hear such bad news suddenly.
"Thunder Dragon, do you know that the path to ascension in this world is cut off?"
The latter scratched the dragon's beard:
"Master thinks too highly of his subordinates. He is not a Bai Xiaosheng, so how can he know everything?
"I know that some forces in the spiritual world are just from hearsay in my spare time. As for ascension, there are so many people who ascend from the lower world to the Mingyu world. How can I care about these people.
"In addition, the matter of ascension is not among my responsibilities. The younger one is only responsible for bringing down the thunder."
"Since you can come from the lower world, how can you not have a way to ascend upward?"
Lei Long shook his head:
"Your Excellency may have some misunderstandings about this. I am a true spirit living in the long river of laws. I am a special existence that is separated from ordinary creatures such as humans, demons, and monsters.
"It is similar to the law itself, but there are some differences.
"Crossing the boundary is not like the ascension channel connected by the ascension platform like the ascension of cultivators, but it is a loophole in the laws of heaven.
"If the master wants to cross the boundary like me, it is impossible."
Wei Zhong's eyes were obviously disappointed:
"How could it be?"
The outside world's Shan Gu also saw the change in Wei Zhong's expression and continued:
"The road to ascension has been cut off for a long time, but our generation of cultivators has never given up looking for the opportunity to ascend. Hongxu, Baiheng and other seniors have spent most of their time on this.
"The secret realm of the Immortal Puppet Sect is one of the opportunities for ascension that have been discovered in recent years. In the secret realm, there are the inheritance and trial paths left by the sect.
"According to the historical records obtained by the predecessors, those who pass the trial can obtain the opportunity to ascend. Therefore, we all speculate that there is an independent ascension platform of the sect inside the secret realm.
"Although I don't know whether it is as ineffective as those ascension platforms, it is at least a hope."
Hand over the storage bag containing the fourth-level puppet:
"Daoyou is proficient in puppetry, and this opportunity may still fall on Daoyou."
Wei Zhong took the storage bag, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and immediately saw the broken fourth-level puppet.
'Shh, what kind of dangerous trial is it, and this puppet is broken like this? ’
“Fellow Daoist Wei, don’t worry about the various materials for making puppets. This is something that Senior Huashen ordered, and he will support you.
“When necessary, you can also work together with the weapon refiners in the hall. Since you can cast this fourth-level puppet in a few decades, the fifth-level puppet is probably…”
Speaking of this, Shan Gu’s voice kept getting smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that he didn’t have much confidence.
Wei Zhong smiled bitterly:
“I will do my best, but please don’t hold too much hope, the success or failure of this matter is still uncertain.”
“I understand!
“I have explained the two things to you before this trip, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
After sending the two away, Wei Zhong showed regret.
‘It turns out that the path to ascension in this world has been cut off for a thousand years! ’
Worriedly returning to the practice room, Wei Zhong’s Nascent Soul immediately sank into the sea of consciousness.
The divine consciousness approached the Time Treasure Record and asked Lei Long more about ascension.
But no matter how many questions he asked, the other party was ambiguous and dared not make a firm statement.
"If the master is worried about the way to ascend, you might as well consider sneaking across."
"Sneaking across?"
"I have heard in the spirit world that there are cultivators who cross the void and reach the spirit world without relying on the ascension platform..."
"There are such capable people?" Wei Zhong looked surprised.
Lei Long nodded:
"It is true. It is rumored that a head of the Five Elements Immortal Sect sneaked into the spirit world from the lower world."
Seeing Wei Zhong thinking, Lei Long continued to add:
"The way to sneak across is very dangerous. It is nine out of ten to get lost in the turbulence of space.
"In addition to the coordinates of the spirit world, you also need to find a void channel in the void that goes directly to the spirit world.
"This channel is different from the ascension platform channel. It is not stable and more dangerous.
"Therefore, it requires the cultivator to be strong. Among them, all the successful ones have reached the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, and some even entered the Void Refining Realm during the crossing...
"I know the location of the spiritual world, and the master has the Void Thunder Seed in his hand. The possibility of sneaking across is a little greater than that of other cultivators."
'Smuggling across is really a risky behavior. '
Compared to crossing the void with a life-threatening risk, Wei Zhong prefers to ascend along the Ascension Platform step by step.
But if he is really desperate, he can only push his cultivation to the limit and then consider this matter.
"The matter of sneaking across will be discussed later. Now improving cultivation is the first priority."
"Seven Aperture Thunder Art" has just been introduced, and the Nascent Soul cultivation has only taken a small step. It is still a long way from the Spiritualization Realm that can ascend.
It is not something Wei Zhong should consider at the moment.
Calming down, Wei Zhong's blood and qi stimulated the Thunder Seed in his body, guiding the lightning along the meridians to temper his own body.
...
Fengzhou,
In a cave without a single light, Yu Si sat cross-legged to heal his wounds.
A ray of sunlight shone down from above, illuminating his body and two feet around him, while the rest of the place was pitch black.
Suddenly, a breath appeared in the darkness of the cave. Yu Si, whose injury had eased a little, opened his eyes, looked at the darkness on the left, stood up and bowed:
"Hello, Senior Brother!"
The latter waved his hand gently, and Yu Si sat down again.
"This time you were rescued by that Cangmingzi. If you have time, you have to go to Wushimen to offer a thank you gift."
Yu Si clenched his fists with reluctance, but finally lowered his head:
"Junior Brother understands."
The latter nodded, walked forward slowly, and exposed himself to the sunlight.
His face was pale, and he looked sickly. His body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and even the wide Taoist robe could not cover it, forming a sharp contrast with the burly Yu Si.
This person was Yuchi Yu, the Yuanying Great Monk of Tianjimen.
"Tell me about your experience in Yunzhou."
Yu Si was attacked during this trip, which was closely related to the serious injuries he suffered in Yunzhou.
Yu Si in a perfect state would be difficult to deal with even for a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, so it was impossible for him to suffer such a disaster.
Yu Si recalled the situation at that time and described it in detail.
"Early stage of Nascent Soul, strong spiritual power, and powerful thunder and fire barrier...
"No wonder he would compete with you for thunder seeds.
"But it is quite impressive that he can defeat you with the cultivation of early stage of Nascent Soul.
"Does Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Wei Zhong, and Qianshui Demon Sect have any information about him?"
Yu Si took out the jade slip that he had prepared long ago, and Yuchi Yu frowned after taking it and checking it:
"This is really too brief. "
The jade slip only records that Wei Zhong made his fortune in Luohe Prefecture, Yunzhou, and later had an intersection with Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
He was a fourth-level weapon refiner, and his combat power was strong when he formed a pill. He seriously injured Puyang Xun, a cultivator of the same level, in a fight.
Then he disappeared for decades, and when he returned, he was already in the Nascent Soul stage.
There are no more detailed records such as the skills, opportunities, and specific times of his cultivation advancement.
"A few decades ago, he was only in the early stage of forming a pill, but now he has already formed a Nascent Soul. It seems that he is also a fellow who has hidden his cultivation," Yuchi Yu teased.
"Brother, this person must have a secret."
Looking at his junior brother's eyes, Yuchi Yu smiled and said:
"What if there is a secret? Who doesn't have a secret when practicing to the Nascent Soul stage? You Yu Si doesn't have one, and I Yuchi Yu doesn't have one?
"Then Senior Huashen has more secrets? But what can we do?"
"But the thunder seed..." Yu Si wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yuchi Yu:
"Don't think of those crooked ideas anymore. You deserve to lose the thunder seed after losing to others.
"Instead of thinking about how to avenge the previous shame, it is better to improve your cultivation. You have wasted two hundred years in the middle stage of Yuanying. You should have entered the late stage long ago.
"Stop studying the secrets of the demon sect. Practicing well is more important than anything else."
Yu Si's eyes darkened for a moment:
"Junior brother understands."
Yuchi Yu patted his shoulder:
"Practice well and take care when you go out. The remnants of the demon clan are starting to get restless again."
"Brother, have you heard the news?"
Yuchi Yu nodded:
"Senior Huashen will take action. Don't worry too much. We can just take care of our own affairs."
...
In Yunxiao Lingshan, a handsome big bird was flying around the Lingshan, with Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua sitting on it.
The two of them were holding the spiritual flowers picked from the Ziyun River, and they planned to transplant them to Yunxiao Lingshan to add some style to the monotonous practice place.
Suddenly, thunderclouds gathered above the Lingshan, and lightning struck down one after another.
This thunder was not a thunder tribulation, but a thunder from the sky that Wei Zhong used the method to induce, which was used to assist in the practice of "Seven Aperture Thunder Power".
Sitting cross-legged on the top of Lingshan Mountain, Wei Zhong did not move at all because of the thunder.
The thunder and lightning fell around Wei Zhong and were quickly absorbed by the formation engraved below, and then gradually refined into his body by Wei Zhong.
Suddenly, the sound of thunder and lightning exploding on Wei Zhong's body continued to sound, and the scattered thunder and lightning destroyed the nearby rocks and the formation under his feet.
With a roar, Wei Zhong's laughter came out.
