Chapter 475 The Golden Ape's Tribulation (Part 1)

Seeing that the seal formation had stabilized, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Elder Li, thank you for your hard work!" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and thanked him gratefully.

"Sword Master, you're welcome. It's my turn. Now that the formation has stabilized, I will set up another teleportation formation outside this place so that the disciples of the sect can protect this place." Li Mu smiled slightly and signaled.

"Okay, Taiyi Sect also has thoughts about the sealed land. I still need to negotiate with them. Elder Li, you can continue your work!" Sword Master Feng nodded and looked at Li Mu and signaled.

Sword Master Chen followed up and said, "Elder Li, we can rest assured that you are here to take charge. I will leave first."

"Two sword masters, please rest assured. With me here, everything will be safe." Li Mu nodded in understanding and watched.

Watching the two sword masters retreat, Li Mu turned around and exited the core area of ​​the Extreme Fire Seal Array, came to the periphery, and with a thought, summoned the Red Fire Phoenix.

As soon as the red fire phoenix appeared, it flew around Li Mu excitedly. Its fiery red eyes flashed with fiery light. It was extremely satisfied with the current environment. The underground space was red, the flowing magma, the blazing temperature all around, and the rich The power of fire, this is a holy land that is extremely suitable for its cultivation.

"Master, where is this? Could it be...!" The red fire phoenix transformed into a human form and stood in front of Li Mu in a red dress, surprised and curious.

The red fire phoenix that transformed into a human form has a stunningly beautiful appearance. Her skin is as white and delicate as snow, with a faint ruddy color, like the soft color of the rising sun. A pair of fiery red eyes, burning like flames, hot and deep, revealing a unique charm. Her red dress was as gorgeous as flames, fluttering gently with her movements, like a fairy in the fire, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Her long hair is like flowing lava, shining with a charming luster, and each strand seems to contain a blazing flame. The bridge of her nose is high, which adds a bit of heroism to her face, and her lips are as red as fire, which makes her even more charming. .

The red fire phoenix stood there, as if the firelight in the entire underground space was dancing for her, blending into the surrounding fiery environment, which was both warm and mysterious.

Li Mu looked at her, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and replied with a smile: "Yes, this is the land of the extreme fire seal. We have successfully expelled the demonic forces occupying this place. Next, I will leave you to practice well here and guard me. ’s spiritual field.”

After hearing this, Scarlet Fire Phoenix's eyes flashed with excitement. She took a deep breath and felt the rich power of fire around her. Her cultivation level improved slightly, as if she could touch the power surging in her body. pulsation.

"Master, the power of the fire element here is so powerful, I will definitely be able to improve my cultivation level quickly." Red Lian Fire Phoenix took a deep breath and said excitedly.

"The sealing formation here involves passages from two realms. The restraint techniques are not trivial. You can use the power of this formation to practice, but remember not to be good at other areas." Li Mu looked at the red fire phoenix with a happy face and said seriously.

After hearing this, Chi Lian Huofeng nodded solemnly, knowing that what Li Mu said was true. The sealing formation was of great importance and there was no room for sloppiness. He quickly assured Li Mu: "Master, I understand what you mean. I will strictly abide by it." Your instructions are to practice only around the sealing formation and not to trespass into other areas without permission."

Li Mu nodded, and then began to plan the spiritual field in this underground fiery space, set up magic formations, summoned nine fire-type spiritual swords, and used the swords as pens to carve formation patterns.

As the nine fire-type spirit swords danced under Li Mu's control, the blazing fire light illuminated the entire underground space. The trajectory of the spirit swords left brilliant lines of fire in the air. These lines of fire were intertwined. A complex array pattern is formed.

The formation gradually took shape, emitting powerful fluctuations of fire energy. The Red Lianhuo Phoenix stood aside, feeling this power, and his heart was filled with shock.

After several hours of careful carving, the formation was finally fully formed. Li Mu took back the nine-handled spiritual sword, clapped his hands gently, and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He turned to Scarlet Fire Phoenix and said: "This array is called the 'Fire Spirit Gathering Array'. It can gather the power of surrounding fire elements to provide a steady stream of energy to the spiritual field. At the same time, it can also enhance your Cultivation will make your path of cultivation smoother.”

After hearing this, Red Lian Huofeng's eyes flashed with excitement, and she quickly thanked Li Mu: "Thank you, Master, for giving me such a precious magic circle. I will make good use of it and live up to your expectations."

Li Mu nodded and continued to cast spells, using earth and rock magic, cultivating spiritual fields, and taking out a large number of high-level fire spiritual seeds, the sixth level - Dragon Flame Spirit Fruit, the sixth level - Sun Essence Fire Lotus, the seventh level - Flame Hell Golden Lotus, etc. Many high-level spiritual plants were planted scatteredly.

Next, Li Mu invested a lot of effort and time in breeding, caring for spiritual plants, setting up protective formations, teleportation formations, etc.

Red Lian Huofeng looked at Li Mu's busy figure, and her heart was full of admiration. Li Mu was not only highly skilled, but also thoughtful, considerate, and capable of almost anything. He was a role model worthy of her respect and learning.

Another three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the high-level spiritual seeds in the spiritual field began to take root and sprout. They absorbed the rich power of fire energy, grew rapidly, and showed great vitality.

"That's almost it, Chi Lian, you can practice well here and advance to the next level as soon as possible."

Looking at the vibrant spiritual field in front of him, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at the Red Lianhuo Phoenix, and said goodbye.

"Yes, Master. I will definitely practice hard and live up to your expectations. When will you come back?" Red Lian Huofeng responded respectfully, looking at Li Mu, her eyes revealing deep attachment and reluctance.

Li Mu smiled slightly and signaled: "I am going to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Field to take care of some matters. As for the return date, I cannot determine it yet. However, within three to five years, I will definitely come here regularly to check the growth of the Spiritual Field and check your cultivation progress. "

"Master, please rest assured. I will protect this spiritual field as if it were my own life and prevent it from being harmed. As for my practice, I will go all out to live up to your expectations." Chi Lianhuo Feng's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Mu and solemnly promised.

"Okay, then I can leave with peace of mind." Li Mu smiled slightly.

With that said, Li Mu turned around and walked towards the teleportation circle. In the flash of light, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, Li Mu appeared in the deserted ancient city and went to Yin Yang Valley to check the spiritual plants in the land of extreme sun. Then he took a teleportation trip to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and went to the Sealed Land of Nether Water to inspect the Green Moon True Dragon and check the water spiritual plants. The plant grew vigorously, and then headed to the far north.

On the way back to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, Li Mu detoured all the way and inspected the seven extremely sealed places in order.

When Li Mu returned to Zhongzhou Lingyu, arrived at Xuantian Sword Sect, and entered the secret realm of extremely gold, three years had passed.

"Master, it's almost time for me to survive the true spiritual tribulation!"

The blue-eyed golden ape was overjoyed to see Li Mu and immediately stepped forward to report. Its eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness. It was obvious that it was both full of expectations and uneasy about the upcoming true spiritual tribulation.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and his scrutinizing eyes fell on the blue-eyed golden ape, which was gifted with the magical power of identifying all spirits, showing its current attributes.

【Blue-Eyed Golden Ape】

[Level: Sixth Level Demon King]

[Characteristics: King Kong body, keen insight, spiritual transformation, spiritual devouring and body refining, the power of the ape king,]

[Status: The gold and yuan are at their peak, and the mind is restless]

[The blue-eyed golden ape, practiced the soul-devouring health-preserving art, tempered and transformed the body, swallowed the blood-purifying Ganoderma lucidum, the golden-veined Ganoderma lucidum, and other high-level spiritual plant bloodlines were improved, and obtained part of the bloodline of the ancestral ape king, and successfully survived the thunder catastrophe of transformation, Break the bloodline restriction and advance to the sixth level of Demon King. 】

Li Mu frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.

The True Spirit Tribulation is a huge obstacle for any living being, not to mention the Blue-eyed Golden Ape whose bloodline and qualifications are not outstanding. If it survives the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation first, it will definitely survive a narrow escape.

However, the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape had been raised by him since childhood and was his most loyal partner. They had gone through countless ups and downs together, and Li Mu did not want it to fall to the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Master, is there any problem?"

Seeing Li Mu frowning and saying nothing, the blue-eyed golden ape couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and asked with concern.

I thought that during these days, I had been practicing hard day and night, breaking through the peak of transformation, and being able to advance to the realm of the seventh-level Demon King. I thought I would be recognized and praised by Li Mu, but I didn't expect that what I got in return was the master's frown. Thinking deeply, the blue-eyed golden ape couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Li Mu sighed softly, raised his head and looked at the blue-eyed golden ape with soft eyes, and said: "Yes, you have really worked hard in cultivation these days."

"Then I can prepare to survive the true spiritual tribulation!" The blue-eyed golden ape's eyes lit up and he asked with concern.

"Your problem does not lie in your cultivation or hard work, but in the cruelty of the True Spirit Tribulation itself." Li Mu spoke slowly, his voice full of helplessness and worry, "The True Spirit Tribulation is the way that Heaven treats living beings after they have cultivated it to a certain level. A test, the difficulty of which will increase with the improvement of the creature's bloodline, qualifications and cultivation. Although your bloodline and qualifications have improved, compared to those of the innate true spirits, your background is still insufficient... "

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the blue-eyed golden ape, but it quickly cheered up, looked at Li Mu and said firmly: "Master, I understand. But no matter what, I have to face this obstacle, and I will not let you down. Yes, I want to become stronger and keep up with you.”

Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw the blue-eyed golden ape's firm eyes, knowing the blue-eyed golden ape's loyalty to him.

"Don't be anxious about overcoming the True Spiritual Thunder Tribulation. You should first practice the Devouring Body Nurturing Technique to the Great Perfection, and then I'll think of other ways." Li Mu thought for a moment, looked at the blue-eyed golden ape and said seriously.

When the blue-eyed golden ape heard Li Mu's words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but then he understood his master's intention. Knowing that, Li Mu was ready to find a better way for it to increase its chances of surviving the True Spirit Tribulation.

The blue-eyed golden ape nodded and looked at Li Mu who responded respectfully: "Yes, Master. I will continue to work hard to practice the devouring and nourishing art, and strive to reach the state of great perfection as soon as possible."

Li Mu said nothing more and inquired about the high-level spiritual plants planted in the spiritual field in the Golden Secret Realm. Then, he left the Golden Secret Realm and returned to Qixuan Sect.

After returning to Qixuan Sect, Li Mu quickly inspected the seven fifth-level spiritual plants planted on the seven main peaks. Then, he went to Xuantian Sword Sect, found several elders of the sect, and asked them in detail about the true spirit tribulation. and records, hoping to find some useful clues and be more fully prepared for the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's tribulation.

"Elder Li, our sect focuses on sword cultivation." Xu Zhong, a member of the Xuantian Sword Sect who is in charge of the Beast Control Garden. Elder Xu looked at Li Mu and enthusiastically introduced him: "My understanding of helping beast control to overcome the true spiritual tribulation is very limited. Maybe it’s not as good as some sects that are good at body training or beast control, but Elder Li asked and I told him what he knew.”

"As for how to increase the success rate of tribulation, although our sect does not have a special method, according to the records in ancient books, there are several ways that may be feasible." Xu Zhong looked at Li Mu with deep eyes and introduced in detail: "First, it is to find rare spiritual objects in the world, such as Tianlei Stone, Zidian Crystal, etc. These spiritual objects contain powerful thunder power, allowing the body of the beast to adapt to the thunder power in advance, which can help it."

"Second, take high-level spiritual pills to improve the bloodline and qualifications of the beast. There are many such high-level spiritual pills, such as: Blood Source Pill: This pill can trace the source of the monster's bloodline, strengthen its original power, and improve the quality of the bloodline. Dragon Bone Refining Marrow Pill: Refined with dragon bones as the main medicine, It can refine the bone marrow of monsters and strengthen their physique and potential; for example: Soul Yuan Dan: It is made from the blood and soul of rare monsters, which can greatly enhance the monster soul of monsters, so as to overcome the most difficult inner demon tribulation in the true spirit thunder tribulation. "

"However, the spiritual materials used in these elixirs are quite precious, and it may not be easy to gather them all. "Xu Zhong continued to add: "Third, find a strong man who is good at controlling beasts to protect the beasts when they are overcoming the true spirit thunder tribulation. This person must have profound cultivation and rich experience, and can give the correct guidance and help to the beasts at critical moments. "

"Fourth, it is to refine the weapon for overcoming the tribulation. This should not be difficult for Elder Li." Xu Zhong looked at Li Mu and said finally.

Li Mu was silent for a while. He also knew the several kinds of assistance mentioned by Xu Zhong. After all, he had experienced the true spirit thunder tribulation of two beasts, Qingyu Shenwang and Qingyue Zhenling.

However, the qualifications, cultivation, and experience of each beast are different, and the difficulty of overcoming the true spirit thunder tribulation is also different.

The Jade Ginseng King, who had experienced thousands of years, was good at the art of recovery, but his physical body was insufficient. He relied on the spiritual tools to delay the power of the thunder tribulation when he passed the true spirit thunder tribulation.

The Blue Moon True Dragon, with outstanding cultivation and aptitude, did not need too much intervention from him. With its foundation, it successfully passed the true spirit thunder tribulation.

The Blue-eyed Golden Ape was different. It had been born for only two hundred years. Its aptitude and bloodline were ordinary. It relied on the skills he taught, various high-level spiritual plants, elixirs, and abundant resources to barely reach its current cultivation. Although its physical body was strong, it still seemed fragile when facing the true spirit thunder tribulation.

Li Mu knew very well that it would be more difficult for the Blue-eyed Golden Ape to pass the true spirit tribulation than the previous two. Not only did he have to prepare enough means for the Blue-eyed Golden Ape to pass the tribulation, but he also had to formulate a perfect plan for it. (End of this chapter)
