Chapter 1242 Heavenly Way as Nourishment

Originally, the power that protected the earth veins was transformed into nourishing nutrients after being devoured by the Daoyi insects.

At first, a black shadow that was only the size of a fist, in an instant, like thick ink dissolving in water, gradually dyed the rushing earth vein river black.

What was even more bizarre was that the black torrent after being eroded by the Daoyi insects, except for the difference in color, the rest of the breath and energy fluctuations were no different from the previous yellow earth veins. Simple perception could not detect this kind of change at all.

However, Wang Xuanba, who had his own clone in the Daoyi insect swarm, could clearly feel the terrifying growth and expansion speed of the insect swarm.

Along the earth veins, with Yueyangzhou as the center, it spread fiercely to all parts of the Xuanhuang Realm.

In addition to the horizontal expansion, in the vertical space, the Daoyi insects also continued to erode downward along the roots of the densely packed inverted trees.

"The wonder of creation is so great. If it weren't for Master's reminder, I would never have thought that there was such a big tree hidden under the Xuanhuang Realm." Wang Xuanba sighed in his heart.

With the help of the picture transmitted by Daoyi insect's body, Wang Xuanba saw those originally dense but still roots, as they continued to blacken, gradually seemed to come alive and sway slightly.

A huge consciousness swept back and forth in those blackened parts. Compared with before, there was more doubt. Wang Xuanba knew that it should be the consciousness of the ancient tree of the earth vein.

But it was destined to be futile. Before these mutant Daoyi insects were just parasitic and had not started to completely transform into insects, the ancient tree of the earth vein could not detect the fact that its body was infected.

"I know that there is something wrong with my body, but I can't find the reason. As the disease worsens, the panic and despair in my heart accumulate more and more. The so-called attack on the heart is the best, and Master's strategy is really a good method." Wang Xuanba sneered, feeling that it was almost done, and then gave an order in his heart.

The rapidly expanding surging shadow insect tide stopped in an instant. Daoyi insect swarms fell into a deep sleep. They hid in the body of the ancient earth vein tree.

The yellow earth vein power continued to wash, as if suppressing the shadow. However, the black did not disappear, and it was still precipitated at the bottom of the yellow.

If you look at it from a macroscopic perspective, it is like there is a dark spot in the Xuanhuang earth vein.

"Master said that the earth vein will eventually affect the thousands of living beings on the ground, and a slight change is enough to cause landslides. If it is not handled properly, it may even cause hostility from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao..."

Wang Xuanba seemed to have faintly sensed the change in the will of heaven and earth just now. However, with the hibernation of the Daoyi insect swarm, the change quickly disappeared.

"Interesting." Wang Xuanba squinted his eyes and felt it for a moment.

Then he rushed to the next earth vein node without stopping. He wanted to plant sixteen black spots like this in the body of the Xuanhuang earth vein ancient tree.

The plan went smoothly.

Except for the last few times when the increasingly restless ancient tree spontaneously caused the earth veins to flow violently, causing him to suffer minor injuries. The rest of the insect swarm shadows were arranged perfectly.

Even if the earth vein ancient tree struggled as if it had sensed something, it was of no use at all. Instead, the speed at which the Daoyi insect swarm spread in the earth veins increased dramatically, and the shadow spots were obviously larger than those in other places.

Half a month later, Wang Xuanba, who had successfully completed the task, returned to Shengjing City.

In the Holy Emperor's throne, several disciples of Li Ping were already waiting in advance.

Wang Xuanba was a little surprised. These brothers and sisters all practiced according to the teachings of the master, and rarely had the opportunity to meet on weekdays. Some of them Wang Xuanba had never even seen, but only heard that the master had accepted such a disciple. Unexpectedly, they all gathered together today.

"It seems that the master is finally going to make a big move." Wang Xuanba immediately became a little excited.

Walking in front of the Holy Emperor, Wang Xuanba knelt on one knee and reported the progress of the task.

The Faceless Saint Emperor waved his hand and helped Wang Xuanba up.

"Well done."

Wang Xuanba, who rarely heard the Saint Emperor's praise, raised his head.

"With sixteen groups of Dao-yi insects nailed down, the ancient tree of the earth vein is doomed. Who of you will take over this tree for me?" Li Ping asked calmly.

The six of you said in unison: "Disciples are willing to share the worries of the master!"

Li Ping looked at these disciples who spoke from the heart and nodded with satisfaction.

Six disciples, three men and three women.

They are Sun Erlang, Su Yuqing, Wang Xuanba, Lin Ling, Ou Shangtian, and Dao Tong Liuli.

The first five were accepted as disciples by Li Ping and carefully trained for some time. However, Dao Tong Liuli was decided by Li Ping on a whim after he discovered the magic of Mao Bao.

However, Li Ping himself had no ill intentions. He just wanted to cultivate Liuli and use the special connection between Liuli and the fishing pond to seek more treasures in the fishing pond. Li Ping was sincere and told him directly. The Taoist boy Liuli was also very sensitive to people's hearts. After noticing Li Ping's honest thoughts, he slowly accepted and got used to the existence of this master.

Moreover, Zhong Shentong kept nagging her to listen to the orders of the Holy Emperor. In addition, Baihua Taoist occasionally gave Liuli special treatment, which made the progress of this little Taoist boy the fastest among all the disciples.

By the way, Zhong Shentong, since he came to the Holy Dynasty, he has completely lived his favorite life of lying down. The rising concentration of spiritual energy in the Holy Dynasty allowed him to live a few more decades even if he did not break through his current realm, so he simply gave up and stopped practicing.

With the permission of the Holy Emperor, he fishes beautifully in the fishing pond every day, and his life is really enviable.

The perspective returns to the Holy Emperor's throne. Facing the Holy Emperor's task, all the disciples are eager to try.

Li Ping has actually made up his mind.

"Lin Ling, you can go with Xuan Ba. If the ancient tree knows the current situation, it's fine. If it is stubborn..."

Li Ping smiled and said, "You can replace it."

The incarnation of the spiritual wood in the spiritual wood world, since being awakened by Li Ping in this life, he has been conquering other small worlds for the Holy Dynasty. The murderous aura on his body is not concealed, which makes Lin Ling the most awe-inspiring existence among Li Ping's six disciples.

Li Ping gave her the task, and the others had no objection.

The Faceless Saint Emperor passed a magic weapon in the shape of a wheel to Lin Ling: "With this wheel, you can freely control the Daoyi insect. The insect is in a critical condition, and the ancient tree of the earth vein should have no room for resistance. But we must also guard against it from desperate..."

After a few simple instructions, Li Ping watched Lin Ling and Wang Xuanba leave the Saint Emperor's throne.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Ou Shangtian still asked with courage: "Master, the thing you said you would give me before..."

Li Ping smiled slightly: "It will be soon. You should also be prepared."

The remaining three disciples also cast their eyes.

As Li Ping's eldest disciple, Sun Erlang has long assisted in managing the affairs of the Holy Dynasty. He knew that his master had been planning for a long time, and now he suddenly attacked, it could not be just this one thing.

"Erlang." As expected, Li Ping said.

"Disciple is here."

"Go to the Five Elders Association for your master."

Sun Erlang was stunned.

He had anticipated many possible expeditions, but he had never expected that his master would ask him to go to the Five Elders Association.

This name was very unfamiliar to most people in the Holy Dynasty. Sun Erlang had only learned a little about it from Yi Shu before.

"Please ask them for me if they know what happened to Dongji Tianzun in the past."

Li Ping sent a picture into Sun Erlang's mind.

"Dongji?" Sun Erlang had never heard of this name before. But since he could be called Tianzun, his strength should be in the realm of immortality.

Therefore, when Sun Erlang saw the picture in his mind clearly, even with his resolute character of "living two lives", he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Li Ping didn't care about Sun Erlang's reaction, and accepted the advice: "The Five Elders Association is different from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The power of Tianzun covers the entire territory and divides and rules. You will go to the territory of [True Tianzun]. As for the other Tianzun, don't provoke them..."

Sun Erlang firmly remembered his master's advice in his heart.

Like Lin Ling, Sun Erlang also received a treasure as a reward before leaving.

"You have the Dao Stone, which is already the greatest magic weapon. Relying on other external objects will lead you astray." Li Ping said, slowly passing a bright and crystal stone to Sun Erlang.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the Dao Stone suddenly burst into an unprecedented blue light, and then greed and restlessness emerged like a flood.

The desire from the soul made Sun Erlang unable and unwilling to suppress it.

"Another Dao Stone? And it is better than the one in my sea of ​​consciousness! At least it is medium-grade or above." Sun Erlang was surprised.

After accompanying Tai Yanzong Yi Shu to wander in the Holy Dynasty for a long time, Sun Erlang naturally understood the preciousness of the Dao Stone in this world. There are only a few pieces left in the world, and they are basically all occupied by other monks with deep blessings. Outsiders want to find them but cannot. And now, the master can actually take out a medium-grade one to give to him...

Sun Erlang thanked his master on the spot.

The joy in his heart directly diluted the fear that had just arisen from the current situation of Dongji Tianzun.

"You absorb it slowly, and the sublimation of the Dao Stone will feed back and drive the overall improvement of your abilities. Of course, if you want to maximize the potential of the Dao Stone, you may need to match it with another strange object."

Li Ping's majestic voice echoed in the hall: "The foundation of the Five Elders Association is the ten sects of the immortal way back then. It is in name only, but it still exists, and there are countless treasures inside. You may invite Taiyan Sect Yi Shu to accompany you on this trip."

"I will obey the master's order." Sun Erlang nodded and strode away.

Among the several disciples, Li Ping has the most special feelings for Sun Erlang. In addition to wanting to use the power of others to fight against the power of others, Li Ping also vaguely sensed the opportunity of Sun Erlang. This premonition is very mysterious, not derived from the deduction of sufficient known information. It is more like a whim guidance that a cultivator will have when he is about to break through.

Dao Tong Liuli saw that several senior brothers and sisters had treasures, and he couldn't help but look forward to it, staring at Li Ping with big eyes.

Su Yuqing's reaction was the calmest among the crowd. Perhaps it was because the baby in her belly had not yet been born.

Su Yuqing recalled what her master had said to her before: "The fetus in your belly is actually the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of this small world."

"This world is facing destruction, so it borrows your body to seek a glimmer of hope. However, even if you have the Heavenly Dao of the small world, you are still a mortal, and your body is too weak. Even if you are lucky enough to successfully give birth to this fetus, it will be difficult for her to grow up, and you will die."

"Unless, you practice with me..."

Since that day, Su Yuqing followed and came to the Great Enlightenment of the Holy Dynasty.

As her realm became higher and higher, the original weakness of her body gradually disappeared. And the fetus in her belly also slept more peacefully.

However, the master said that the stronger she was when giving birth, the higher her daughter's achievements would be in the future. As a mother, Su Yuqing's persistent pursuit of the realm of cultivation made her the first among the six disciples.

As for fighting and making meritorious deeds, she did not have any particularly deep obsession.

Li Ping's mind locked on the two people in the hall who had not yet been specifically arranged, and he did not speak for a long time.

This made the Taoist boy Liuli sense something, and he panicked, and he lowered his head and retracted his expectant gaze.

"You two have similar personalities. Staying together will benefit each other. And because of your special physique, you should not be exposed to killing aura too much..."

"I recently opened up a special small world, and you two can come in to help."

The Taoist boy Liuli heard this and immediately had a bitter face.

Perhaps because she was brought up by Zhong Shentong, her temperament is very similar to Zhong Shentong. If there is no external force to force her, she will be quite lazy. Since Li Ping accepted her as a disciple, he naturally had to reverse this bad habit.

After Ou Shangtian left, Liuli and Su Yuqing followed Li Ping to the newly opened small world.

"Master Hu, it's too dark here. Liuli, I'm a little scared." Liuli deliberately said in an unclear and pitiful manner.

This is not Liuli's deliberate pity, but this world is indeed different from ordinary small worlds, without a trace of light. It's just because this is a special world specially prepared for the You people by Li Ping, Tianyang and Xu Ke.

"Yuqing, besides the darkness, have you felt anything else different here?" Li Ping asked slowly, ignoring Liuli's pretending to be pitiful.

Absolute darkness, silence and tranquility. The activity of the fetus in Su Yuqing's belly has been reduced, as if hypnotized, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yuqing felt the emotions coming from her daughter, and soon after, she frowned and replied: "The small world here...is not complete? Or, is it just not there?"

"There is only a large space. In my opinion, this place is not enough to be called a world."

Su Yuqing is indeed very talented, and she sensed the abnormality here in just a moment.

Li Ping smiled: "You are only half right. At first, there was not no small world consciousness here. Although it was very weak, it did exist."

Su Yuqing was startled when she heard this, and was about to ask where the world went.

But she saw a golden cube suddenly appeared in front of her. The dazzling light illuminated the entire dark world.

After sensing the familiar breath in the cube, Su Yuqing suddenly felt a trace of uncontrollable fear instinctively.

The fetus in her belly was awakened and became restless.

Because the golden cube was sealed with the world consciousness that was the same as her essence!

"They all have gifts, so you will have one too." Li Ping could sense Su Yuqing's fear.

"This place needs to be under the absolute control of the master, and does not need the existence of the world's heavenly consciousness, so I stripped it off and sealed it."

"I'll give it to you now." Li Ping said calmly.
