Chapter 1368: Finding a Needle in a Haystack
In front of the Dragon God Temple, the army of nearly a thousand people who are going through the tribulation is about to end.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Shenlong Island is less than one-tenth of that in the Dragon Pool, it is also quite amazing. Because of this, the process of the cultivators going through the tribulation is quite smooth.
With a large amount of spiritual energy as a foundation, not only do the cultivators have no worries, but the heavenly tribulation also grows rapidly, further shortening the process of going through the tribulation.
Therefore, in just three days, nearly a thousand people, some are happy and some are worried.
In the cultivation world, less than one percent of the Jindan cultivators who go through the tribulation can successfully condense the infant.
In some areas with a bad spiritual atmosphere, this proportion is even lower-such as the well-known Nanyue State!
However, among the nearly a thousand people who went through the tribulation this time, hundreds of them successfully condensed the infant or transformed!
On the one hand, the various tricks deployed by Long Mu are indeed beneficial.
On the other hand, everyone present is an elite cultivator from various forces.
In the three realms, Li Jingnian of the True Vacuum Dao successfully condensed the infant before Chen Jingxuan and He Jingkong. Yan Mo of Yan Ji Sect, however, failed at the last moment and stopped at the Nascent Soul stage.
Among the cultivators of the seven counties, Kong Yulin, Wuling, Ji Yanran, Li Ke, Liu Qi, Chi Lianyun, without exception, all condensed their Nascent Soul stage.
On the contrary, Yu Wushuang and Hua Mancheng, a pair of enemies, were both confused by the Heart Demon Tribulation at the last moment, and both failed to pass the tribulation, but fortunately they escaped without any danger.
In the Heavenly Demon Palace of Beiwei Prefecture, Mo Tong and Mo Yue went one step further and successfully condensed their Nascent Soul stage; Wei Beiyuan of the Saint Empress Palace also went smoothly and became the Nascent Soul Patriarch.
The blind monk Chan Yin, the fighting monk Hui Jing, the little nun Miao Shan, and Bi Hun of Xishu Prefecture...
Ye Piao Ling, Han Qianxue, Shen Chuzhi, Shen Qiu Shui, Dong Qingyan, and Le Lingrou of Dongwu Prefecture...
These people are surprisingly energetic and different from the past.
Even among the demons of the East Sea, there were many demon beasts that were originally at the peak of the sixth level. They successfully passed the transformation tribulation on Shenlong Island and became the seventh-level transformation demons.
For example, Lei Yunze of the Thunder Sacrifice Pond that Xiao Mian had seen before!
Another demon transformed, which was Gui Hai, who had already transformed into a dragon!
On Shenlong Island, there were suddenly hundreds of Yuanying ancestors or transformation demons. This was definitely a grand event!
Of course, these demon cultivators were just condensing their infants or transforming, and the most urgent task was to consolidate their cultivation. They were not useful for a while.
Even so, the entire Shenlong Island fell into a carnival...
Hundreds of cultivators successfully passed the tribulation, and there were still hundreds of people who failed to do so.
In theory, passing the tribulation is extremely dangerous.
If it fails, it is very likely to fall under the great tribulation.
Just like Xiao Mian's master's Leng Ningyu, he died just like that...
But that would only happen if there were no high-level cultivators to protect him during the tribulation. For some large sects in Zhongzhou, when their disciples were undergoing the tribulation, the sect would often send a Yuanying ancestor to protect them - not to help, but to save them!
Once the cultivator undergoing the tribulation made a mistake or had other accidents, the Yuanying ancestor could take action at the right time to save the cultivator undergoing the tribulation.
Of course, there were many tricks in it. If you act rashly, you might lose more than you gain.
Let's talk about Shenlong Island today. There were more than a dozen Tianzun realm masters alone, and the number of eight or nine-level transformed monsters doubled.
All kinds of Yuanying ancestors, full and neat...
Under the protection of so many high-level cultivators, although there were people in danger among the nearly a thousand cultivators during the tribulation, they all received timely treatment.
After this heavenly tribulation, hundreds of people condensed their infants, and no one died!
This has to be said to be another miracle!
For a while, there were praises for the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and Senior Long Mu.
Those who made further progress were well protected by various forces and went to consolidate their cultivation; those who were standing still were also taken back by various families to recuperate.
Some of the casual cultivators left Shenlong Island directly...
Of course, before they left, they all paid homage to the Dragon God Temple.
Long Mu's move was of some benefit to the disciples of those large forces and sects, but it was limited. Even if they did not have the fate today, they could still successfully pass the tribulation under the protection of the sect when the time came in the future, but it would be a little faster.
But for the casual cultivators without roots and foundations, Long Mu's move was a rebirth!
The reputation of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea spread throughout the East China Sea with those cultivators...
The Dragon God Temple, which was originally a bit chaotic, became much emptier.
In the Dragon God Temple, the leaders of various forces and Long Mu were meeting.
The topic of the meeting was how to find the lair of the Three Temples of the East China Sea as soon as possible.
Before, the cultivation world of the Central Earth came from afar to destroy the Three Temples of the East China Sea, but it was the Eighteen Demon Kings of the East China Sea who interfered, either openly or secretly.
Now, because of Long Mu's remarks, the Eighteen Demon Kings have changed their ways.
The huge Dragon God Temple was filled with the voices of the demon kings...
"Everyone! All the demon kings of the East Sea! All the fellow Taoists from the Central Plains! Can you listen to what I have to say? We are all for the same purpose - to eradicate the Three Temples of the East Sea!"
"Senior Long Mu is right!"
"Okay! Under this premise, we should cooperate sincerely instead of going in the opposite direction. The demon kings of the East Sea each have their own garrisons, are powerful, and have many demon soldiers. They might as well defend their own lines of defense to prevent the Three Temples of the East Sea from attacking. At the same time, they can radiate out from their own garrisons and spread out their searches! The cultivators of the Central Plains are flexible and can roam around the vast East Sea and try to catch any clues of the Three Temples of the East Sea. With one static and one dynamic, as long as the Three Temples of the East Sea are still in the East Sea, they will definitely be unable to escape!"
As soon as Long Mu finished speaking, the human and demon races looked at each other.
Long Mu's method did not have any tricks at all. It was purely a carpet search from point to surface - it was also the most inefficient method.
However, now everyone only knew that the Three Temples of the East China Sea were in the East China Sea, and no one could tell where exactly they were.
Especially after the previous round of searches, the Three Temples of the East China Sea had no flaws.
In this case, the only way was to weave the net more densely and spread it farther...
Before there was a better way, Long Mu's method was unanimously approved.
At this moment, the eighteen demon kings of the East China Sea gathered their demon soldiers and generals, left Shenlong Island, and headed towards their respective garrisons.
As for the Five States Coalition of the Central Earth Cultivation World, they also left Shenlong Island.
The difference is: the Five States Coalition has no fixed place to stay and cruises around the East China Sea.
The northern part of the East China Sea in front of Beiweizhou, the eastern part of the East China Sea in front of Dongwuzhou, the western part of the East China Sea in front of Xishuzhou, and the southern part of the East China Sea in front of Nanyuezhou.
Zhongzhou, which has the largest number and the strongest power, is responsible for the central part of the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is nearly 10 million miles in radius. How can it be so vast?
The entire East China Sea is shaped like a huge round cake. In the center of the round cake, there is a round uninhabited sea area.
In the center of the East China Sea, the spiritual energy is the most abundant and the environment is the most harsh.
The spiritual energy seems to be affected by the environment, so that it becomes unruly and violent. The entire center of the East China Sea is full of spiritual explosion cyclones.
This kind of natural spiritual explosion with the power of heaven and earth, even ordinary Yuanying ancestors and seventh-level transformed monsters dare not go deep, let alone stay for a long time.
Therefore, the central area of the East China Sea has always been sparsely populated.
The extension of the center is a circle of various scenic spots controlled by nine great demon kings.
A little further out, there is another circle of settlements occupied by nine small demon kings.
Even more outlying, although there are scattered spiritual islands and spiritual seas, they are not a big deal after all. According to the strength of the spiritual energy, they are divided by the scattered cultivators of the East China Sea.
The outermost part, except for the western part bordering Wangxian City, the other three sides are all spiritual ruins!
Now, all people can do is one thing - looking for a needle in a haystack!
Other demon kings and legions of various states have left Shenlong Island one after another.
Only the Nanyue Legion and Xiaoyao Demon King, under the help of Xiao Mian and Princess Xiaoyao, merged together and went to Xiaoyao Ocean together.
Along the way, the scholar can talk freely with the Xiaoyao Demon King.
Besides, the identity of Princess Xiaoyao, as Xiao Mian had expected before, is the senior master of the Bai family in Wanzong City, Nanyue Province - the sister of the ancestor of the Bai family!
In fact, this Princess Xiaoyao is also Bai Yuxi's aunt!
With this relationship, King Xiaoyao is more friendly to the Nanyue Legion...
Seeing the Nanyue Legion leave Shenlong Island, Xiao Mian did not leave with them.
Xiao Mian is not optimistic about this aimless needle in a haystack.
Although there is no better way at present, Xiao Mian does not think that the Monster King of the East Sea and the monks of the Central Earth can find the Three Temples of the East Sea in a short time.
Otherwise, they should have made some gains long ago.
Judging from the watertightness of the Three Temples of the East Sea before, the other party clearly does not want to conflict with the monks of the Central Earth too early, not to mention that they have joined the Monster King of the East Sea now?
Conservatively estimated, there will be no gains in less than a year and a half.
In this case, why did Xiao Mian leave Shenlong Island?
Moreover, there are some things on Shenlong Island that Xiao Mian needs to deal with.
The first is Gui Hai.
A few days ago, Gui Hai successfully passed the transformation tribulation in front of the Shenlong Temple.
Today, Gui Hai is already a thorough seventh-level Mo Pan, and can transform into a human form without a transformation magic weapon - this is the case, on the contrary, Bai Longji's true dragon bloodline cannot completely transform, and can only rely on the latent dragon chain and the hidden dragon pearl to transform.
Long Mu and Bai Longji also noticed the transformed Gui Hai.
Although a Mo Pan with pure blood like Gui Hai is not a real dragon, it is rare. Therefore, Long Mu left Gui Hai behind when Gui Hai just transformed.
On Shenlong Island, Long Mu passed some real dragon inheritance to Gui Hai.
Gui Hai's Mo Pan bloodline should only get Mo Pan inheritance.
This real dragon inheritance can only be obtained by real dragon bloodline.
Such an opportunity is naturally a godsend for Gui Hai.
Mo Pan is a ninth-level dragon monster. If nothing unexpected happens, Gui Hai will become a ninth-level monster king in the future. Now that he has obtained part of the real dragon inheritance, he may be able to go one step further and achieve the supreme position of the monster clan like Bai Longji.
The second reason is for the boys and girls born in the dragon pool.
These two little guys seemed to be following him - to be more precise: the girl was following him, and the boy was following the girl...
Anyway, no matter what, Xiao Mian could not escape the fate of being a father!
After spending some time together, Xiao Mian was secretly shocked by the pair of children.
Needless to say, the little black dragon had the blood of a true dragon and was born supreme.
As long as he didn't die in the middle of the journey, he would be a demon lord in the future.
The girl was a spirit fetus, but she was also extraordinary.
Xiao Mian had taken the girl's pulse before. There were no so-called meridians, bones, blood vessels, etc. in the girl's body. There was nothing inside.
It was as if the girl herself was a human-shaped sea of qi!
After Long Mu's explanation, Xiao Mian knew that this was a congenital spirit fetus!
The congenital spirit fetus was pure and flawless. It began to practice since the mother's womb. For them, practicing was like breathing, which was the instinct of life.
That's not all!
The cultivation speed of the innate spirit fetus is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Even a freak like Xiao Mian, whose cultivation speed is ten times that of ordinary cultivators, can only bow down to the innate holy fetus.
The innate holy fetus has already established its foundation when it is born.
If everything goes well, it can form a pill within a year.
Although it takes some time to condense the infant, there is no bottleneck at all.
When the time comes, it will come naturally and the infant will condense!
With such a unique talent, it is no wonder that some bigwigs in the spirit world are trying their best to cultivate the spirit fetus and train it into an external incarnation.
This is clearly an existence that defies the heavens!
Even so, Xiao Mian did not regret it at all.
He regretted not refining the spirit fetus into an external incarnation as Long Mu said.
In theory, the magical powers of the external incarnation are all of the supreme level.
Even ordinary Yuanying ancestors would not dare to try it easily. If they are not careful, not only will the external incarnation fail to be successfully refined, but it may also damage the cultivation of the original body.
But with Xiao Mian's attainments in refining the spirit, it is not difficult to separate a spirit and implant it into the newborn spirit fetus to cultivate the external incarnation.
Once the external incarnation is successfully refined, Xiao Mian will be equivalent to having an extra life.
No one will complain about having too many lives, but at the same time, Xiao Mian has his own persistence.
Especially when he saw that the girl's spirituality is now completely different, and she is a young girl in her prime, Xiao Mian's persistence has become more valuable.
Originally, Xiao Mian wanted to tell Zhu Yanji and others about the girl's identity. After all, the four saints are like sisters. If they knew that Bai Guji had such good fortune today after his death, they would definitely cry with joy-although the girl now has no much involvement with Bai Guji at the time, and it can even be said that they have nothing to do with each other!
But this matter was a secret after all, and there were many people on Shenlong Island. Xiao Mian could not find a suitable opportunity to meet Zhu Yanji and others alone.
Except for Bihunji who had just survived the great heavenly tribulation and followed the Zhongzhou Legion to consolidate her cultivation, Zhu Yanji and Heishaji had already gone to the east.
There was a long time to come, so there was no need to rush.
But if the three elder sisters knew that I was the father of this girl, I wonder if they would scold me for taking advantage of them...
Another reason for Xiao Mian to stay on Shenlong Island temporarily was Xiao Chuqing.
To be more precise, it was Xiao Chuqing and Fu Qingjue!
As early as when Xiao Mian left Nanyuezhou, the two had successfully survived the small heavenly tribulation.
According to Xiao Mian's meaning, the two had no chance to go to the East China Sea this time.
A young cultivator who had just formed a pill would not even know how he died in the East China Sea!
But for some reason, these two people slipped onto the Bingfu, and went east from Nanyuezhou all the way to Shenlong Island.
On Shenlong Island, Xiao Mian saw the two people for the first time. How could he let them escape?
The South Vietnamese army had already gone south, but the two people were detained by Xiao Mian.
There is probably no place in the world safer than Shenlong Island where Bai Longji is in charge - even if the three temples of the East China Sea have the courage, they dare not invade!
Although Xiao Chuqing and Fu Qingjue have many complaints about Xiao Mian's actions, they also know that Xiao Mian will not buy their tricks, so they can't help but stop.
Gradually, the two made a new discovery...
