Chapter 684: The Cave Heaven Opens After Three Disasters
After waiting at the entrance of the cave for a while, the tall green-haired man who had just gone in to pass the news came out and said, "I asked you to follow me in."
"Thank you, senior." Hua Qianluo saluted. Patriarch Shi's gatekeeper had a terrifying aura, which seemed to be no less than that of Patriarch Xie whom he met at Tianya Haijiao Tower.
Following the green-haired man into the cave, he soon came to a quiet room, and then Hua Qianluo heard the other person say: "Go in and pay homage to the master."
Hua Qianluo nodded and walked inside cautiously, completely unaware of Qinglang's frightened expression.
In the quiet room, the furnishings are simple and quiet, and a man in plain green Taoist robes sits on the cloud bed.
Hua Qianluo didn't have time to look at the man on the cloud bed, and quickly saluted respectfully: "Disciple Hua Qianluo pays homage to Patriarch Shi."
"No need to be polite." A plain but gentle voice reached her ears, which made Hua Qianluo's anxiety and worries seem to be calmed down. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Patriarch Shi.
"Ah?!" At this sight, Hua Qianluo took a breath of cold air, turned pale, and took a few steps back. The appearance of Patriarch Gainshi was too terrifying.
His old man's face was rotten, and his features, eyes, nose, and mouth were all mutilated. This was nothing. For Hua Qianluo, a golden elixir master who had dealt with the Nether Sect and killed several ghost monks, it was even more. I have seen disgusting and hideous sights, such as a rotten face with white maggots crawling around.
She shouldn't have had a big reaction to this, but as soon as she saw Patriarch Shi, she felt that her golden elixir, mind, and thoughts were all rotting and decaying. An extreme fear and fear arose in her heart, and she would never see it again. Hard to restrain.
"You have a phantom magic weapon on your body, which was promoted from the time and space gate of the Small Thousand Worlds, right?"
Before Hua Qianluo could stand still, the gentle voice sounded again, which made her feel frightened. The pores in her body suddenly tightened, and she looked at Patriarch Shi with unusual vigilance. Her biggest secret was actually seen through! If he were still an ordinary person, he would probably be breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hey, there are poor people too."
Before Hua Qianluo could think of what to say, she heard Patriarch Shi joking and couldn't help but be startled: "What?"
"This kind of magic weapon is similar to the Cave Heaven magic weapon. Each has its own merits, but it is of little use to monks who are above the second decline of heavenly beings. Moreover, the poor Taoist's map of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers must be recorded in the sect's classics." Shi Xuan then smiled and said, "Haha, little girl, your fear of decay should have dissipated a lot, right?"
Hua Qianluo was stunned again. He was a master of the golden elixir, but in front of Patriarch Shi, he felt like he couldn't keep up with his ideas!
When she found that the feeling of decay had indeed dissipated a lot, and the thoughts of extreme fear and fear were much weaker, she suddenly understood that Patriarch Shi pointed out his biggest secret in order to scare herself from another aspect and put her on full alert. This way, you can get rid of the state of heart palpitations and fear.
Only then did she regain her former grace, her smile appeared, and she said jokingly and curiously: "Master Shi, this disciple was almost frightened to death just now. Are you in the third decline of the Heavenly Being?!"
Limited to the realm, Hua Qianluo still had no access to many high-level classics, so he didn't know much about the situation of realms above the Yuan Shen. However, Patriarch Shi's appearance easily reminded people of the word decline and calamity, so he asked.
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was shocked: "Speaking of which, Patriarch Shi only survived the second decline of heaven and man for more than a thousand years!"
"Yes. The corrosive meaning contained in this backlash force is very suppressive for monks below heaven and earth. You can barely restrain it, which is already very good. It is stronger than that guy from Qinglang." Shi Xuan said with a smile, "And This magical weapon of yours can use part of the power of the Small Thousand Worlds, which is comparable to the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, but it is not easy to survive the catastrophe. "
Compared with the magic weapon of the cave, once it is promoted to a magic weapon, it can mobilize half of the power of the small thousand worlds. If it survives four heavenly tribulations, it can drive all of them, but it cannot change the laws of heaven and earth inside, and its heaven and earth. The tribulation is very difficult, and Shi Xuan has never heard of this type of magic weapon that has survived three tribulations.
When Hua Qianluo saw Shi Xuan's admission, she was shocked at first, but then she thought that Patriarch Shi was an incredible figure who had survived the second decline of heaven and human beings in less than a hundred years. It was not strange to be like this now, so she said calmly and honestly: " Patriarch Shi , the disciple found this magical weapon in the Western Wilderness, and relying on it, the disciple can fight against the Yin God in the soul stage. "
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She regarded it as a magic weapon that was unparalleled in the world. In the eyes of Patriarch Shi, it seemed of little use. With him having an explanation, she no longer had to worry about anyone else in the sect.
"The magic weapon is too strong, and sometimes it will delay your tempering. If it is not a life-or-death situation in the future, try not to use it. Especially if it directly blesses the power of Xiaoqian World on your Taoism, it will greatly reduce your control of the Taoism. Make the road ahead difficult and bumpy.”
Shi Xuan said solemnly, "When a tall building rises from the ground, the best time to lay the foundation is to lay the foundation for the soul. If you miss it, it will be very difficult to make up for it, and you may not be able to reincarnate."
Since the Penglai sect has more than doubled in size over the past few thousand years, Shi Xuan has taught more than two hundred top-grade golden elixir masters after becoming heavenly beings, but only three of them have become Yuanshen. However, Shi Xuan has not You will not be depressed by this, and you will still be dedicated to giving guidance to the top-grade golden elixir master. The three difficulties of cultivation are not for nothing. Behind every pass, there are the accumulated corpses of countless losers.
Hua Qianluo nodded thoughtfully: "Disciple, please remember the teachings of our ancestors."
Shi Xuan carefully instructed Hua Qianluo, and finally asked her about her adventure with interest, but unexpectedly found an acquaintance: "Mo Jingqiu also came to the Western Wilderness a few years ago."
…………
In the quiet room where the ban was opened, Shi Xuan sat cross-legged and drove away the backlash force.
But suddenly, the originally very stable backlash force became turbulent, like a flood that broke through the dam, rolling in, unstoppable.
The chaotic cave transformed by Shi Xuan's soul was rapidly corroded and retreated step by step. The power to transform everything into chaos was a drop in the bucket, just like lighting a few candles to dry up a basin of water.
In less than two moments, the results of Shi Xuan's efforts in the past forty years completely disappeared, and the chaotic cave soul became only the size of a palm again, and the backlash force did not stop, and it continued to flow, as if it could corrode Shi Xuan's soul in an instant.
Shi Xuan's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew that it was the last counterattack of the calamity. Relying on the powerful control of himself, he made the mixed cave soul shrink little by little instead of collapsing at the first touch.
The size of the palm, the size of the mouth... the size of the eyes. Under the difficult delay of the mixed cave soul, the backlash from the avenue seemed to slow down.
But it was only a little slower. The corrosive power was still strong and endless. Shi Xuan's mixed cave soul slowly but unstoppably shrank to the size of a thumb, the size of a pea... the size of a grain of rice.
It seemed that if there were no other changes, it would be difficult for Shi Xuan to hold on until the backlash dissipated!
Shi Xuan himself understood this very well, but he was not in a hurry. He just thought about it.
A vermilion gourd phantom immediately appeared in Shi Xuan's soul, which had been suppressed to the size of a needle tip. A stream of clear air came out of the gourd mouth and was directly transformed into the Yin-Yang mixed cave divine light and merged into the soul!
The Qingqi Huashen gourd must be sacrificed by its own fundamental practice before it can be used, otherwise it cannot replenish the soul.
With the strong support of the Tribulation Secret Treasure, Shi Xuan's soul suddenly expanded, and a dark and chaotic hole swelled up, turning the backlash of the avenue into chaotic breath one by one, growing from the size of a needle tip to the size of a head.
However, the Qingqi of the Qingqi Huashen Gourd was limited after all, and soon there was a sense of insufficient successor. The backlash force once again overwhelmed the power of all things returning to chaos, corroding and shrinking Shi Xuan's chaotic cave soul little by little, and it became only the size of a thumb again.
The remaining clear air continued to emerge, turning into the Yin-Yang Chaos Cave Divine Light, replenishing the soul, allowing Shi Xuan to hold on.
Two moments later, the backlash force that had been slowly and weakening finally turned from the initial surging flood into a gentle stream.
But before Shi Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, the scarlet gourd phantom suddenly shattered, and the Qingqi of Huashen was exhausted!
The backlash continued to corrode Shi Xuan's soul, which had no replenishment, to the size of a pea... the size of a grain of rice...
Finally, when Shi Xuan's soul became the size of a needle tip, the backlash force of the dying force slowly turned from a stream into a calm lake, and the corrosion and restoration of the chaotic force were in a stalemate.
Shi Xuan's remaining soul was recovering quickly, and the backlash force of the avenue had no backup and was getting weaker and weaker.
Soon, above the cloud bed, wrapped in the chaotic air, a black and white light suddenly emerged, and it shone brightly. A huge chaotic hole was created, and then it turned into Shi Xuan's figure, which was no different from before.
Shi Xuan only felt that the trace of soul entrusted to the avenue was more in line with the avenue, and the combination was more closely, and his control over the soul reached a new level, and he could even intuitively feel the laws of heaven and earth in his own small world!
The third decline of the soul of the celestial being was finally passed!
"I haven't been tempered enough. The decline of the Yuanshen, which should have been the easiest, has become the most difficult of the three declines. Just like those Tianjuns who have achieved sainthood in the flesh, it is difficult to decline after decline." Shi Xuan sighed softly.
…………
A hundred years later, Shi Xuan stood in the sky above Penglai Sect, looking at the seven peaks and twenty-eight mountains leisurely. Standing beside and behind him were all the real people in the sect of Penglai Sect.
"Master, are you going to open up the cave heaven?" Chu Wan'er, who had survived the third heavenly tribulation and was practicing immortal arts, asked with some anticipation.
Shi Xuan did not answer, but smiled and looked at her: "Wan'er, although you have been smooth sailing before, you must not be careless. The fourth heavenly tribulation is the biggest and even the only test of the Yuanshen period. I am afraid that you will have to survive the same life and death as when you achieved the Yuanshen."
"Disciple will remember." Chu Wan'er nodded hurriedly.
Jiang Zhenren and Xu Zhenjun, who was already preparing to start the Nine-Layered Heavenly Palace, were quite excited. Seeing that Shi Xuan was slow to act and only instructed his disciples, they laughed and scolded at the same time: "Open up the cave heaven quickly, don't make us old guys wait anxiously."
Shi Xuan nodded with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and gently drew it.
PS: What is the better name for the Penglai Sect's cave heaven? Everyone give some suggestions.
Also, I want to ask for monthly tickets. I didn't get a single monthly ticket today. Did everyone go out to celebrate the festival?
