Chapter 1631 Great Road Is Expected
Ten years!
Three thousand six hundred and fifty days!
It sounds short, but it feels long!
For the 100,000 cultivators in Wanzong City, these ten years were difficult.
For Ling Yunzi outside Wanzong City, these ten years were even more difficult!
After ten years, Wanzong City was on the verge of collapse but still standing!
It was forced into a desperate situation several times, and survived several times. It seemed that it might fall at any time, but it always stood there, as if laughing at Ling Yunzi's incompetence.
It was not that Ling Yunzi had never thought about withdrawing, but the order of the eldest brother was something Ling Yunzi did not dare to disobey and did not want to disobey - eldest brother, Wanzong City must fall!
Since she saw the spiritual war god that year, Ling Yunzi knew that Wanzong City might not be so easy to take down, but she never gave up.
Let alone ten years, even if it came to another ten years, she would never give up!
She wanted to see: how magical the formation of unity is!
What a pity!
Ling Yunzi wrongly blamed the Unity Formation - the real Unity Formation could not provide spiritual energy to the defense formation of Wanzong City.
The Unity Formation could only provide spiritual energy, not spiritual energy.
But Xiao Mian had a treasure of the people - the Ruyi Treasure Mirror!
Ruyi, as I wish, as I wish.
With the Ruyi Treasure Mirror in hand, as long as there is enough spiritual energy, it can be converted into physical energy without limit. In other words, it can create something out of nothing!
It is because of the existence of the Ruyi Treasure Mirror that the huge spiritual energy collected by the Unity Formation has been transformed into pure spiritual energy through the Ruyi Treasure Mirror.
It is more than enough to provide energy for the defense formation of Wanzong City.
Privately, Xiao Mian can even use the extra energy to enrich himself.
For ten years, Wanzong City has not lived and worked in peace, but at least has been at peace with the world.
Under the dual protection of the city defense formation and the unity formation, Wanzong City is impregnable. Everyone has nothing to do, even Xiao Mian, who has begun to retreat.
After handing the Ruyi Treasure Mirror to Xuancao, Xiao Mian began to retreat.
During this retreat, Xiao Mian intends to break through the bottleneck with the accumulation of time.
Therefore, Xiao Mian directly entered the Du Zun Mansion - in the rich spiritual atmosphere and ample time flow of the Du Zun Mansion, Xiao Mian was in retreat.
Ten years in the outside world, a hundred years inside!
It is also thanks to Xiao Mian's long life and the fact that he drinks the water of immortality as a beverage that he can withstand the unusual time flow in the Du Zun Mansion.
After a hundred years of accumulation, Xiao Mian finally entered the high-level Nascent Soul in peace and quiet.
During this retreat, Xiao Mian's greatest achievement is still in the Nascent Soul!
When Xiao Mian entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his Nascent Soul was already three inches tall, golden all over, and no different from an ordinary high-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
Now Xiao Mian has become a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator. The size of his Nascent Soul has not changed much, but it is extremely agile, with a restrained divine light and crystal clear.
Most ordinary Nascent Souls are radiant with golden light.
From light gold to bright yellow to golden yellow, the darker the color, the thicker the foundation.
Xiao Mian's three-inch Nascent Soul has changed from the previous golden yellow to a nearly transparent crystal color. Looking carefully with the spiritual eyes, Xiao Mian's three-inch Nascent Soul is full of bones, blood vessels and even muscles like the human body...
This is almost unimaginable - ordinary Nascent Souls are just a group of spirits!
Xiao Mian has long been accustomed to his own weirdness.
According to Xiao Mian's own estimation, his Nascent Soul is more solid than the Nascent Soul of ordinary Nascent Soul ancestors. Conservatively speaking, it is no problem to fight three people at once.
This is only Xiao Mian's cultivation of the Qi training lineage. If the body training and spirit training lines are counted, Xiao Mian's own strength is enough to fight ten people at once!
Both the body training and spirit training lines have made great progress.
The body refining lineage, accumulated over a hundred years, and entangled with ten thousand poisons.
It should be noted that during this hundred years, Xiao Mian refined the poisons that entered his body through the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse", if not ten thousand, there are at least eight thousand. Together with the poisons that he refined on the road of cultivation before, Xiao Mian finally gathered the number of ten thousand poisons.
The seventh-level poison is the starting point, the eighth-level poison is a bit challenging, and even the ninth-level poison is not without - Xiao Mian has tasted all the ten deadly poisons one by one!
The reason why Xiao Mian can be so extravagant is all thanks to the treasure house of Du Zun!
Looking back at the past, Du Zun dominated the world for thousands of years, and with his own strength, he searched for all the treasures in the world in one prefecture, but he didn't expect that in the end, Xiao Mian got the advantage.
Tiandu Peak and even Zhongzhou, spent all their efforts to steal the spirit, thinking that they occupied the world's spiritual energy for themselves, and regarded the five states and four seas as forbidden food.
Xiao Mian did the opposite, obtained the inheritance of Du Zun, obtained the secret treasure of Du Zun, strengthened himself, revived Nanyue, and became the vanguard against Tiandu.
Every sip and every bite, cause and effect cycle.
With the support of the secret library of the Du Zun Mansion, Xiao Mian refined the Ten Thousand Poisons into his body, and finally the mass production led to qualitative change.
The most significant result is the Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Yuan Jin Gang!
Once it is used, golden light spreads all over the body.
Xiao Mian can ignore the attacks of ordinary magic weapons, and his every move is as huge as a million pounds!
Once the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" is used, and the "Extreme Domination" is used, the destructive power caused is even beyond Xiao Mian's imagination.
Conservatively estimated, Xiao Mian can now directly kill the eighth-level monster!
What makes Xiao Mian even more happy is that after refining the five-sided divine stone into his body, Xiao Mian finally practiced a body refining magic that he had planned for a long time in his mind.
Supreme magic - Five Mountains Facing the Sky!
When the Five Mountains Facing the Sky magic is used, Xiao Mian's body shows the appearance of a stone dare to bear, surrounded by four pillars, posing a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
These Five Mountains Facing the Sky are a perfect defensive magical power!
That is why Xiao Mian, with his current Nascent Soul high-level cultivator realm, can display the Five Mountains Facing the Sky magical power, which is enough to defend against all attacks!
Except for the metaphysical divine object that cannot be defended, other attacks are not a problem!
This gives Xiao Mian the confidence to confront the Nascent Soul top-level cultivator head-on.
As for the divine object, he has to find another way...
The attack can kill the eighth-level monster beast, and the defense can resist the Nascent Soul top-level. Xiao Mian's body finally tends to be perfect under his constant efforts.
Although the soul refining lineage is not so exaggerated, the results are also gratifying.
Xiao Mian's three souls and seven spirits are extremely round, his spiritual consciousness is deep, and his soul is vast.
With this background, if Xiao Mian can comprehend the divine object in the future, the divine object he can achieve, no matter the grade or quality, must be the best of the best!
In addition to the cultivation of these three veins, Xiao Mian has also achieved something in the sword path.
After a hundred years of experience, the Wanhua Sword Intention finally condensed into a Wanhua Sword Heart - everything in the world, everything in the world, all in one sword!
It was also a coincidence!
The Xingci Sword, which Xiao Mian had high hopes for, was unfortunately broken. As a blessing in disguise, Xiao Mian recast the sword and got the artifact Tai Chi.
The artifact Tai Chi is extremely yin and yang, extremely hard and soft, and ever-changing.
With one thought, all laws follow!
The combination of the artifact Tai Chi and the Wanhua Sword Heart is a match made in heaven!
From now on, although Xiao Mian is not a sword cultivator, he is better than a sword cultivator - except for the peerless sword cultivators like Jing Chu who have the Qiankun Sword Armor, Xiao Mian can be said to be invincible at the same level!
Putting these aside, Xiao Mian's four incarnations have all made further progress.
Qingshen, Xuejing, Jin Gang, Mo Ling, the four incarnations, the four Yuanying!
The three incarnations of Qingshen, Xuejing and Jin Gang were re-refined by Xiao Mian with Daoxin Seed Magic and survived the great heavenly tribulation when Xiao Mian advanced to the middle stage of Yuanying last time.
Xiao Mian's original cultivation level improved, and accordingly, the three incarnations also made further progress.
Only the last Mo Ling had never condensed a baby before.
This time, it was promoted from the peak of Jindan to the middle stage of Yuanying in one breath.
It was not that Xiao Mian was forcing things to grow, but the foundation of this Mo Ling incarnation was extremely profound, almost comparable to Xiao Bailing's innate spiritual fetus.
For Mo Ling's incarnation, there was almost no bottleneck.
The "Heavenly Demon Strategy" that Mo Ling practiced was originally the orthodox of the Demon Sect, and it was supplemented by the "Non-Form Heart Demon Sutra", which was truly unpredictable.
Every move he made was surrounded by the non-form heart demon, the wonderful appearance of the heavenly demon, and the wonderful sound of the heavenly demon. Even with Xiao Mian's character, he would lose his way if he was not careful.
So far, Xiao Mian's combat power was almost equivalent to a small group.
A hundred years have passed, and ten years have passed.
After breaking through the barrier, Xiao Mian was not in a hurry.
During the ten years in the outside world, Xuancao would enter the Duzun Mansion every once in a while, reporting to Xiao Mian the changes in Wanzong City and even the whole world.
Even if Xiao Mian was in seclusion and could not meet face to face, Xuancao would leave all the jade slips and mirrors for Xiao Mian to see in the future.
Therefore, although he was in seclusion for a hundred years, everything was under Xiao Mian's control.
To be honest, even Xiao Mian himself did not expect that the attack and defense of Wanzong City would last for ten years!
This was Xiao Mian's underestimation of himself and overestimation of spiritual cultivation.
After all, spiritual cultivation participating in the forbidden training is like a fierce dragon crossing the river, and it cannot last long.
Except for sect cultivators like Lingzhuzi who have clear goals, other spiritual cultivators enter this world just to find some opportunities.
Who cares if they sacrifice their lives for opportunities?
Therefore, the fighting spirit of ordinary spiritual cultivators is not strong.
Moreover, after Xiao Mian defended Wanzong City, the spiritual cultivators lost the advantage of strong individual cultivation - attacking Wanzong City is definitely not something that one person or one sect can do!
After Ling Yunzi set up the Heaven Collapse and Earth Splitting Formation, Xiao Mian actually countered with a United Will Formation.
With the Ruyi Treasure Mirror as a support, Wanzong City can stand firm!
What makes Xiao Mian happy is that Wanzong City is not useless in the past ten years.
Regardless of others, Jing Chu, Yin Jiansheng and others have made breakthroughs.
Because of the urgency of time, these people were taken into the Duzun Mansion by Xiao Mian for high-intensity special training - of course, not everyone has this treatment, they must have excellent qualifications and potential, and a long lifespan as a backing.
Otherwise, they will die as soon as they enter, so what's the point of training?
Even these people cannot be trapped in the Duzun Mansion for a hundred years like Xiao Mian, after all, the time flow rate of ten to one is a heavy burden on the cultivator's body.
Fortunately, Jing Chu and others did not disappoint Xiao Mian.
Everyone improved within their ability.
Jing Chu, who had cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was dressed in Qiankun sword attire and had invisible sword energy in one hand. With the Qiankun Yiyuan Zhenjing as his basis, he could attack and defend.
With Wushang sword intent in one hand, he was enough to kill people across levels!
What's more difficult is that Jing Chu is not only a sword cultivator, but also a body cultivator.
With the Jin Tang Mantra and the True Gold Nine Forging Secrets, Jing Chu's current body cultivation attainments may not be strong, but his physical strength should not be underestimated.
In short, Jing Chu is simply a humanoid flying sword!
Gui Hai broke through to the realm of the ninth-level monster beast, and displayed the monster clan's true body, which was quite a bit like a real dragon. Even the ghost-headed knife prisoner dragon had entered the top-level magic weapon. Although the dragon soul inside the ghost-headed knife had long been absorbed by Gui Hai, its spirituality still existed. Once the ghost-headed knife went one step further and its spirituality survived the heavenly tribulation, it could become a Tongtian spiritual treasure.
At this time, Gui Hai had already practiced the "Sea Accepts Hundred Rivers" and "Walls Stand Thousands of Feet" to the extreme. Once the "Breaking Precepts Sword Technique" was released, there was no rival.
The self-created "Killing God with One Sword" was even more powerful.
On weekdays, Gui Hai was with Jiu Jianxian and Wei Ying, and he also benefited a lot.
Although Yin Jiansheng was limited to the blood of the eighth-level monster of the Blood Evil Sword Ape, he could not easily break through to the ninth-level monster, but Yin Jiansheng was originally a sword cultivator.
By chance, he heard about the four ways of Dugu Sword Demon and Blood Killing Sword Demon in the secret realm of Xuanwei Cave. Yin Jiansheng got the three ways of Blood Killing Sword alone, which was very suitable for his nature.
The three ways of Blood Killing Sword were combined into one, and Yin Jiansheng walked out of his own way...
Others such as Kong Yuanren, although they also entered the middle stage of Yuanying, were just mediocre and had nothing outstanding.
The only thing that Xiao Mian regretted was that the leader of the younger generation of Tianlong Temple, Hong Lianhua, died when he returned to Wanzong City last time.
Bai Jintang was also seriously injured, shaking his foundation and trapped in the initial stage of the Nascent Soul.
As for the younger generation of Nanyue, who was even inferior, they were unable to do it.
There were only a few people in the younger generation of Wanzong City who had condensed the Nascent Soul...
But the people around Xiao Mian were also remarkable.
Due to her limited qualifications, Xuancao was still at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul. Fortunately, Xuancao did not force it. She usually helped Xiao Mian take care of worldly affairs, which was enough for her.
Huangfu Ling devoted himself to the Tao and made great progress. He successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even the divine bird Baihuang went a step further and reached the eighth level.
Qingjing also reached the eighth level. A mouthful of Samadhi True Fire successfully evolved into a five-color spiritual flame. Wherever the Flame Mountain passed, no grass was left.
Fu Qingjue and Xiao Chuqing both condensed their infants, but rarely made breakthroughs in a short period of time.
On the contrary, Fu Qingjue's white dog spirit beast was quite magical.
During the previous battle in the East China Sea, the little white dog was silent and in seclusion. It was not seen how it practiced, but it passed the transformation tribulation in one fell swoop - the strange thing is: it is obviously a seventh-level monster, but the white dog is still a white dog and cannot transform into a human form.
The diamond sword ape Duanmu Jian and the purple-eyed golden arm ape Xiao Jin both passed the transformation tribulation and turned into two boys to guard Xuancao.
Huo Long'er and Huo Feng'er, the former has already condensed the infant, and the latter is at the peak of the golden elixir - first, Huo Long'er has practiced longer than Huo Feng'er, second, Huo Long'er has a stronger fighting spirit and a stronger heart for the Tao, and third, Huo Feng'er's Buddhist skills are slow to warm up.
Like this pair of light and dark twins, Xiao Mian values their potential more.
Although Xiao Nanming and Xiao Bailu were both disciples of the scholar, Xiao Mian still treated them as his own brothers and sisters and took good care of them.
Xiao Nanming lived up to expectations and successfully condensed his infant.
Xiao Bailu, after all, had a shallow foundation and was still in the Golden Core realm.
However, Tuoba Ling, who was "picked up" by Xiao Mian from Xishuzhou that day, also went a step further and successfully condensed his infant and became the Yuanying ancestor.
Although Fan Jian was also hardworking, it was bitter before the five elements of spiritual roots could achieve the great way. The Five Elements Ancestor was a late bloomer.
Therefore, although Fan Jian had not yet condensed his infant, he was already at the top of the Golden Core stage.
Qian Weiyan, the kid who was greedy for money, devoted himself to the study of formations and neglected his cultivation. Fortunately, this kid was still young and had a long life.
As for Chu Xingxuan and the Chu brothers and sisters, they had been tinkering with the big thing in Xiao Mian's plan in Feitian Sect, which also delayed their cultivation.
Fortunately, the Flying Secret Art does not require a high level of cultivation from the cultivators themselves, otherwise, Xiao Mian would have been a little worried about his plan...
Even the Xuanwei students have thrived under Tan Daoji's teaching and example.
Because these Xuanwei students are young, Xiao Mian simply sent Huangjincheng to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm to hone these Xuanwei students.
The only regret is Hu Sheng!
I don't know if the chess piece I dropped that day is useful?
Besides, everyone has their own opportunities inside Jingzhe.
Wen Tianxiu and Luosha have both broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which can be said to be the strongest combat force inside Jingzhe. Under the two of them, Huang Yan has always been trapped in the initial stage of the Nascent Soul. With his qualifications, it is difficult for him to make any progress.
The four elders of Jingzhe, headed by Zhen Lingzi, are proficient in their respective professions, but neglect to practice. Xiao Mian doesn't care about anything and serves a large number of top-grade elixirs, and he has raised the cultivation of the four elders to the initial stage of the Nascent Soul-just for life!
These four elders of Jingzhe are all treasures!
The longer they live, the more help they can provide to Xiao Mian, Jingzhe, and even Nanyuezhou—why not do it if you can make a lot of money?
On the contrary, the top combat power in Wanzong City is quite complacent.
For example, Wanzong Sheng, Hunyuan Patriarch, Jiujianxian and Wei Ying, the four great celestial masters, can't make any further progress, and are facing the embarrassment of approaching life span.
For example, although the scholar has broken through to the top level of Yuanying early, it is not easy to take the last step.
Xiao Mian rummaged through the boxes in the Duzun secret library and found "Three Tombs" and "Nine Hills". Combined with the "Five Classics" that the scholar had and the "Eight Ropes" that Kong Yuanren got from the ancient well of Xuanwei Cave, the four ancient books reappeared in the hands of the scholar alone!
However, this ancient strange book is strange, but it is like a heavenly book. If the scholar wants to gain some insights from the four ancient books and then condense the divine objects, he is still far away.
As for the others, most of them have not made any achievements.
Fortunately, there are still a few good talents in Wanzong City. For example, Master Bai Qi successfully broke through to the high level of Nascent Soul. The God of Killing and Shanhai Zun also made further progress.
It is said that Xiao Mian came out of retreat this time, not only because he had just broken through and could not go further in a short time, but also because - the time is almost up!
According to the information sent back by Jie Fengyan, that person has already gone down Sanqing Mountain!
If there is anyone in this world who can break through Wanzong City by himself, Xiao Mian can only think of that person - Immortal Jinhong!
Xiao Mian retreated in Duzun Mansion for a hundred years, and Immortal Jinhong retreated in Sanqing Mountain for ten years.
Finally, Immortal Jinhong completely controlled the innate Dao fetus of Taixu Zhenren.
A few days ago, Immortal Jinhong floated away...
It was after receiving this news that Xiao Mian broke out of retreat.
If the previous attack and defense of Wanzong City was just a small fight, the next one would be a life-and-death battle - an iron-blooded battle!
Of course, before that, Xiao Mian might have to fight Lingzhuzi first!
Xiao Mian knew that Immortal Jinhong had gone down Sanqing Mountain, how could Lingzhuzi not know?
Immortal Jinhong is determined to get the Immortal Stone, and Xiao Mian and Lingzhuzi also know it.
Once the Immortal Stone falls into the hands of Immortal Jinhong, a true immortal in the lower realm, let alone Lingzhuzi, even if Emperor Ren comes in person, it is still uncertain whether he can take it back!
Lingzhuzi's only chance is to snatch the Immortal Stone from Xiao Mian before Immortal Jinhong makes a move - in other words, to break through Wanzong City!
Sure enough!
At the same time when Xiao Mian came out of retreat, the Endless Ocean, which had been calm for ten years, suddenly became turbulent again. The Shenguang, under the order of Lingzhuzi, slowly went south.
In the past ten years, Lingzhuzi did not want to break through the Endless Ocean.
With the foundation of the Shenguang Heaven-level Treasure Ship, if Wanzong City is attacked by force, there may be a chance to capture Wanzong City.
The reason why Lingzhuzi kept delaying is not because he is unwilling, but because he can't!
The Endless Ocean is the last line of defense of Nanyuezhou!
Previously, Xiao Mian, Black Dragon Emperor, and Fu Qingqiong had reached a consensus: no matter what, the Shen Guang must not be allowed to easily break through the Endless Ocean!
Therefore, even if the Shen Guang wants to break through the Endless Ocean, it will have to pay a bloody price!
Now, Lingzhuzi is ready for a big loss!
The Endless Ocean is in danger...
