Chapter 1286 Impacting the Late Stage of Void Refining
"The backers of our Zhongshengzhai are no worse than any other tribe, right? Whether it's the demon tribe or the magic sect, can they still break the rules of our Zhongshengzhai?" Lu Ke said with a bit of aloofness on her pretty face.
The old man waved his hand and said, "There is no black and white in this world. Our Zhongshengzhai is indeed not inferior to any race in terms of strength, but we are businessmen after all, wandering around every corner of the continent, dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships. It's better not to offend if you can. A mere piece of Sui Liushi, even if there is some price difference, is just a small business. There is no need to offend the Demon Dao Saint Ancestor for this. There are no more than ten people in the entire Shengyue Continent who can be called Saint Ancestors. You must know that the Saint Ancestor has perfected the power of rules, his own realm has been close to perfection, and he can ascend to the fairyland at any time. Such a person, no race or cultivator is willing to offend."
Lu Ke fell silent after hearing this, she knew that what the old man said was all true.
There are countless races in the spiritual world. The real big races that can occupy the top of the food chain of the entire spiritual world are not because of how powerful the race is or how many people there are, but because of the number of top-level cultivators.
One of the important indicators is the number of Mahayana cultivators and whether there are saint ancestors in the race.
Mahayana cultivators usually refer to those who have survived the three minor disasters and have no more disasters. Their only thing is to improve their realm and cultivate the power of rules to perfection.
Once the realm is perfected and the power of rules cultivated by themselves has reached the state of great perfection, this kind of existence is called a saint ancestor.
The saint ancestor is also the supreme existence in the spiritual world. Only the race with a saint ancestor can be called a big race.
Whether it is the Tianmu tribe in the Beitian Shattered Realm or the small tribe Multi-armed tribe, although there are Mahayana cultivators, they are still second- or third-rate small tribes because there are no saint ancestor-level strongmen in their race.
As for the Saint Ancestors, there are different levels in the entire Spirit World Continent, and the difference lies mainly in the type of rule power they cultivate.
As long as any one of the ten recognized rule powers is cultivated to perfection, the Saint Ancestor's combat power will surely be among the best on the continent.
If one of the three major chaos rules can be cultivated to perfection, then his combat power on the entire continent will definitely be at the ceiling level.
Although the Dark Rule cultivated by Saint Ancestor Fei Lian ranks last among the ten major rules, he is one of the old Saint Ancestors on the Spirit World Holy Moon Continent and has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
He is also the ancestor of the Demonic Path today. Who would be willing to provoke such a person easily? For a mere piece of Sui Liu Stone, does Zhong Sheng Zhai have to offend such a person?
Even if a child uses his fingers to calculate, he knows which is more important.
Xiao Lin naturally didn't know about all this. A few days later, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged in the cave. In front of him stood a huge white stone. Although Xiao Lin called it a stone, it was shining with a strange metallic luster.
More importantly, even Xiao Lin himself felt dizzy as long as he stared at the white stone for a long time. He had tested it before. The closer he got to the stone, the slower his speed would be. When he was still an inch away from the stone, his speed was even more outrageous.
Later, after many inquiries and understandings, Xiao Lin gradually realized that this power should be the legendary power of time.
The time rule and the space rule that Xiao Lin comprehended belong to one of the three major chaos rules, which is the basic law of the universe.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many immortal cultivators who practice the space rule, but this does not mean that the space rule is easy to practice. On the contrary, it is easier to get started with the space rule, but it is extremely difficult to master it.
Immortal cultivators comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, so most of them have a certain understanding of the principles of space, but it is extremely difficult to truly fully control the power of space rules. Therefore, many immortal cultivators who first practiced space rules will even change to practice other rules in the later stage.
Time rules are different from space rules. Space rules are profound, and time rules are even more mysterious.
In the world of immortal cultivation, immortal cultivators who practice time rules are rare. It is extremely difficult to get started with time rules. For example, Xiao Lin once wanted to practice time rules, but he couldn't get in, so he could only sigh helplessly.
Of course, it is difficult to get started with time rules, and it is even more difficult to practice.
Xiao Lin looked at the huge white stone in front of him. It was when he got the spirit gourd that year that he saw its peculiarity and accepted it.
He had never taken it out for so many years, and now he is basically sure that this should be the legendary Sui Liu Stone.
Whether it is the appearance or the various characteristics it shows, they are the same as the Sui Liu Stone recorded in the thin book in his hand.
Xiao Lin couldn't hide his inner joy and couldn't help but smile.
This Sui Liu Stone is a top-level refining material. Even those top cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and even the Mahayana Stage are eager to get it.
Sui Liu Stone is not only a refining material, but also the key to comprehending the power of time rules.
Because in the legend, the reason why the rules of time are mysterious is that there are too few things in nature that contain the power of time. Cultivators want to comprehend it, but they have no way to get in.
So they will use some rare materials containing the power of time to comprehend the rules of time.
Xiao Lin naturally couldn't suppress his excitement. With such a large piece of Sui Liu Stone, he only needed a small piece to refine the Yin-Yang Locking Heaven Formation. The rest of the part could be used as a enlightenment stone to comprehend the power of the rules of time.
Once he could comprehend the power of time, he would have comprehended two of the three chaos rules. If he could go deeper, his immortal path would be limitless in the future.
Cultivators comprehend the power of rules, not just one. However, even if the life span of a cultivator is long, it is limited after all. In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a saying that the rules are not about quantity, but about refinement. As long as one rule power can be cultivated to perfection.
Then even if it is not as good as the power of the ten major rules, it is enough to dominate one side, and it will not be affected when he ascends to immortality in the future.
The reason why Xiao Lin planned to comprehend the power of time rules was not because he was greedy, but because he was curious about this mysterious power of rules. If he could really comprehend the power of time, Xiao Lin even had the idea of switching to practicing the power of time rules.
Of course, if there was enough time, he would not mind practicing two kinds of power of rules.
A flash of light flashed in Xiao Lin's hand, and the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword flashed with icy sword energy and appeared above his palm. As Xiao Lin pointed from a distance, a sword light swept out and chopped off a corner of the Sui Liu Stone.
When the sword light was still a foot away from the Sui Liu Stone, it suddenly slowed down. The sword light moved forward little by little, and Xiao Lin could even clearly see the traces of the sword light moving.
Xiao Lin knew that this was a normal phenomenon, so he controlled the sword light and continued to slash forward.
After half an hour, with a "kacha, clang" sound, a crisp metal clanging sound rang out, and then a fist-sized Sui Liu Stone fell to the ground, emitting white fluorescence.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile helplessly. This Sui Liu Stone was really a rare treasure. In order to cut off a piece, he actually urged the sword light for nearly an hour.
Xiao Lin picked up the fist-sized Sui Liu Stone casually, put it in his palm, and observed it carefully.
At this time, Xiao Lin found that the time force on this fist-sized Sui Liu Stone seemed to be much weaker. He pinched the sword formula with his other hand and swung a sword light. At this time, although the speed of the sword light slowed down in front of the stone, it was not as fast as before.
Just a moment later, with a "clang", the fist-sized Sui Liu Stone was split into two.
"Sure enough." Xiao Lin showed a look of surprise. He now understood that the time force in this Sui Liu Stone was greatly weakened after a piece was cut off. This made his original worry that he could not refine it disappear in an instant.
Xiao Lin was full of joy. Now he had prepared all the materials for refining the Yin-Yang Locking Heaven Formation and could start refining.
The most important thing is that after a hundred years of precipitation, Xiao Lin can already feel that his mid-term bottleneck is gradually loosening, that is to say, he is not far from breaking through to the late stage of refining the void.
After careful consideration, Xiao Lin still plans to break through the realm after refining the inverted Yin and Yang lock sky formation. The process of refining is actually a tempering of one's own state of mind, which can increase the probability of successfully advancing to the late stage of refining the void.
Taoyuan Island is still very peaceful.
Every spring, the Shanyi people on Taoyuan Island will come to the back mountain in groups, kneeling and praying in the direction of the Wuyin Fairy Valley.
Xiao Lin naturally accepted their admiration, so he also remotely controlled the Soul Devouring Fire Gu several times to kill the monsters that tried to attack Taoyuan Island. In this way, the Shanyi people on Taoyuan Island have more and more respect for Xiao Lin, and the annual kneeling and praying has almost become their most lively festival.
Xiao Lin naturally didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to these, but hid in the cave, refining the inverted Yin-Yang lock sky formation, while constantly consolidating his own realm.
Time passed day by day in this tranquility.
On this day, the Shanyi people on the island got up to farm as usual, went out to fish, and the children played around.
Suddenly, a dark cloud floated in the direction of Wuyin Fairy Valley, like ink, covering a hundred miles in radius.
In the dark clouds, lightning flashed everywhere, and the roar was like thunder, which was endless.
At the same time, tornadoes connected the sky and the earth, and the whistling sound was clear even for the Shanyi people who were a hundred miles away.
The Shanyi people showed shock, gathered together, and looked at the direction of Wuyin Fairy Valley in panic.
"What's going on? It was originally sunny today, why did such strange dark clouds suddenly appear?"
"Could it be that the immortal envoy is practicing some strange magical power?"
"Impossible, the immortal envoy is an upright person at first glance, and he is also practicing the great spirit of heaven and earth, how could there be such a strange phenomenon?"
"Could it be that one of the enemies of the Immortal Envoy has come looking for us?"
"That's very possible."
"That's troublesome. If it's really the enemy of the Immortal Envoy, the gods will fight and the mortals will suffer. Will our small Taoyuan Island be razed to the ground?"
"Should we all temporarily move to a nearby island?"
Many members of the Flash Wing tribe were discussing this. They all had panic expressions on their faces and were a little at a loss.
Although the dark clouds over the Wuyin Fairy Valley had not spread, they were only a few dozen miles away from them. For the Immortal Envoy, this distance was just a few steps away.
If it really affected the village, they would be in trouble.
Just as they were discussing the decision, a dark green spiritual light that was a hundred feet high suddenly appeared in the void at the entrance of the village. The spiritual light slowly spread out, revealing a somewhat blurry human face.
"Don't panic, everyone. This immortal envoy has advanced to a certain realm, which has caused the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth will not exceed a hundred miles outside the Wuyin Immortal Valley. You don't need to panic, just return home, lock the doors and windows, and wait for a few days."
After the voice fell, the huge face burst with the dark green spiritual light and disappeared.
"It turns out that the immortal envoy has broken through the realm. This is a good thing."
"Yes, in this way, the safety of our village will be higher. The higher the realm of the immortal envoy is for us, the better."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, follow the instructions of the immortal envoy, go home, lock the doors and windows, especially your own children, and be disciplined. Don't enter the Wuyin Immortal Valley within a hundred miles without permission, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by yourself."
When everyone saw the person in charge speak, they also shut their mouths obediently and walked towards their own houses.
In the direction of the Wuyin Immortal Valley, lightning and thunder, strong winds howled, almost like the end of the world.
But strangely enough, this doomsday scene only stayed within a hundred miles of Wuyin Fairy Valley, and did not overflow at all. Within a hundred miles, the entire mountain was almost razed to the ground.
Such a contrast is really surprising.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the endless windy mountaintop will suddenly disappear without a trace when it is about a hundred miles away from Wuyin Fairy Valley, just like the spring snow, it becomes calm in an instant.
This situation has lasted for several months.....
On this day, two escape lights suddenly shot out from the void hundreds of miles away from Taoyuan Island. These two escape lights cut through the sky, but suddenly two surprised sounds came from them, and then the escape lights instantly stagnated and stood in the air.
When the escape lights dissipated, two people were revealed, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and handsome, and the woman was charming and beautiful. The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"This person is clearly surviving the fire in the Minor Three Disasters, which means that he is advancing to the late stage of the Void Refining Realm. With the power of the Minor Three Disasters, everything within a thousand miles will be razed to the ground, but the range of this person's disaster is actually controlled within a hundred miles. It is obvious that he has set up a very powerful formation."
"Yes, the Minor Three Disasters are the power of heaven and earth. Under such a strong force, it is impossible for a general formation to last. This person's tribulation has obviously reached a critical moment, and it seems to have lasted for at least several months. Such a powerful formation may be useful for our matter?"
The man next to him heard this and his eyes lit up.
