Chapter 329: Heaven’s Merit, Overcoming the Tribulation and Watching the Ceremony (First Update)

The Nirvana Fire turned into a pill furnace, with Bifang lingering on it, burning the demon cultivator inside so that he was spitting fire all over his body, wailing and cursing continuously.

The originally dense demonic energy, under the calcination of the Nirvana Fire, gradually returned to its original state and turned into pure spiritual energy, which was rising in the furnace.

In the demon cultivator's spiritual platform, in the small furnace, three fire bulls opened their mouths and spit out divine fire vigorously, refining his soul at the same time.

Perhaps because they thought their progress was too slow, the three little green bulls in the courtyard of Taihao Palace turned into streams of light and also escaped into the demon cultivator's spiritual platform.

"Moo moo moo..." The green bull shook its head and tail, turned into firewood, and fell under the furnace, using wood to make fire, accelerating this process.

Finally, the demon cultivator stopped wailing, and the tough body that was sacrificed and refined gradually broke and turned into pure Yuanli.

The Dao platform hidden deep in the Dantian also collapsed, and the perception of the Dao in it turned into a magical aura, which attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"I curse you..." His illusory soul cursed sharply, and finally dissipated completely. Only a wisp of true spirit was left floating in the small furnace.

Li Qing sighed, pointed at the Dan furnace transformed by the spiritual fire, and lifted its top cover.

Suddenly, the majestic and condensed Yuan Qi rushed into the sky, turning into a column of air, penetrating the small world where the oasis was located.

If a demon cultivator at the eighth level of foundation building simply died here, it might pollute the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, making the oasis ecology, which was already eroded by yellow sand, even more fragile.

But after Li Qing's refining, together with his more than two hundred years of Dao perception, it completely returned to heaven and earth, and the atmosphere was different.

The column of air penetrated the sky and earth, stirring up the wind and clouds. Suddenly, auspicious clouds rolled in the sky and raindrops fell.

This rain was not ordinary rain, but sweet rain, but the vitality contained in it was far beyond what Li Qing could compare.

Li Qing felt something in his heart, and realized the truth and principles contained in the raindrops. He felt that the three kinds of spiritual water he had refined had improved.

The sweet rain fell in the desert, and a little green appeared out of thin air, turning into a green belt, gradually spreading to the windbreak forest planted by Li Qing.

Suddenly, a subtle glow of light fell from the sky, with nine colors, magnificent and varied, falling on Li Qing's head.

Li Qing's mind moved, and he flew Taihao Palace out to meet the nine-color glow.

Then he saw the glow fall in the courtyard of Taihao Palace, turning into a perfect mysterious light, flickering slightly in it, and there was a faint illusion of "invulnerability to all methods".

"Is this... a blessing from heaven?" Li Qing was a little unbelievable, "Just because I refined a demon cultivator?!"

But he quickly overturned his guess. Looking at the green belt that was about to connect with the windbreak forest, Li Qing suddenly realized.

"It is this oasis, or the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, that is saving itself!"

He had experienced the collapse of the Qingxia Secret Realm, and naturally felt that the Yellow Sand Secret Realm was heading for its end.

The palace collapsed on the hilltop where the high platform in the oasis was located, the ancient trees fell, and the former owner disappeared.

Natural disasters such as the bone-cutting divine wind raged in the secret realm, consuming vitality and turning it into an endless desert.

The human-faced snake clan lamented that the number of intelligent races going to participate in the transaction was decreasing.

The companion spirit cats of the cat-headed people clan, due to inbreeding, are becoming more and more mentally retarded.

Not only is the environment of the Yellow Sand Secret Realm deteriorating, but the civilization in it is also heading for extinction.

Although Li Qing's arrival is far from enough to reverse the situation, it has brought an opportunity for improvement.

Therefore, the secret realm has feelings, and it not only gives the opportunity to break through, but also brings down merits to protect.

This is the first ray of merit that Li Qing has obtained since he embarked on the path of cultivation. It is not much, but it is of great significance.

Merit is a thing with infinite uses. But it is particularly difficult to obtain.

With Li Qing's current vision, he only knows that merits will come after the earthly immortal realm is sublimated into a blessed land.

But even Qinghe Valley still has a long way to go before it can be promoted to a blessed land.

"It seems that this secret realm once had a great origin..." Li Qing speculated in his heart and stood up from the fifth-grade lotus platform.

He waved his hand, and Taihao Palace rolled up six calves and returned to the spiritual platform. Bifang and Danlu also turned into a nirvana fire again and fell into the dantian.

In front, only a ray of the true spirit of the demon cultivator floated up and down.

Li Qing used Ganlin to clean it thoroughly, and then sacrificed the Pudu White Lotus, running the innate witchcraft of "transcending the wronged souls" to save it.

It is said that in ancient times, there were the netherworld and the six reincarnations in the world of cultivation. The cultivators’ fighting was limited to killing the soul and the body, but not the true spirit.

However, with the change of time, the underworld and reincarnation disappeared, and many cultivators, especially the demons, had no scruples and usually wiped out the enemy’s true spirit.

But Li Qing believed in these taboos.

Moreover, he heard that the national master never damaged the enemy’s true spirit when fighting with others. Even after killing the mortal enemy of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Nine Hells Demon Lord did not destroy his true spirit in the end.

Influenced by this, the cultivators of the Great Zhou Kingdom generally left room in this regard.

After cultivating the demons and returning to heaven and earth, it was time to close the Yellow Sand Secret Realm.

Li Qing did not return to the oasis to reunite with Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing, but escaped into the sand, took off the elf Nuo mask, and restored his own image.

His external aura also "broke through" from the second level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building.

"Boom boom..." The secret realm began to shake.

Li Qing did not resist the subsequent spatial transformation and soon returned to the sky above Xuefeng Lake.

Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing appeared not far from him.

There were also dozens of figures at the foundation-building level, who were wary of each other and flew away in all directions.

The two people and three beasts who wanted to besiege Li Qing did not appear. I think they were buried in the murderous intent in the oasis.

Li Qing and the other two gathered together, sensing the rising energy of each of them, and laughed out loud.

Among them, Niu Xinjing was promoted from the sixth level of foundation building to the seventh level of foundation building. But Li Qing knew that the third-level spiritual apricot tree was his greatest gain.

Sang Yuwan did catch a lot of rare dragon carp, but this was just a by-product.

The boiling aura around him almost attracted the spiritual energy of Xuefeng Lake, causing a sympathy between heaven and earth.

Xuan Palace Steward Zhou Yi also entered the secret realm, and when he came out, he was not far away from the three of them.

His eyes were burning, as if he was operating some kind of pupil technique.

Li Qing hurriedly activated the spirit Nuo mask to strengthen the cover of the realm, but just right to expose the strength of the "third level of foundation building".

Zhou Yi's eyes swept over Li Qing, paused for a moment on Niu Xinjing, and finally fell on Sang Yuwan.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Sang, the Dan is in sight!" He slightly bowed his hands to express his congratulations.

Sang Yuwan laughed and bowed to the many cultivators who were still staying in Xuefeng Lake: "I have gained something from this trip to the secret realm!"

"In a month, I will go through the tribulation of forming a pill in Yanglong Lake. If you fellow Taoists don't mind, you can come to Yanglong Lake to watch the ceremony."

Li Qing couldn't help but think of Qing Yan Zhenren before forming a pill. Comparing them in his mind, he felt that in terms of temperament and breadth of mind, the other party was far inferior to Sang Yuwan.
