Chapter 10 The Ins and Outs
In this way, while searching and cultivating, hundreds of years passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Xian finally cultivated to the late stage of the tribulation and began to usher in the heavenly tribulation.
Originally, in terms of Zhou's idleness cultivation, although the chance of him successfully surviving the Heavenly Tribulation was less than 1 in 10,000, there was still a little hope of success, and it was possible to successfully cultivate to the Mahayana realm by chance, and it would not be 100% certain that he would be defeated.
It's a pity that because he has been carried by the cosmic wind and has been floating in the void for hundreds of years, he has not been able to stabilize it, and then, in order to successfully return to the cultivation world, he has spent hundreds of years again, flying around aimlessly in the vast starry sky, trying his luck to find a planet infested by cultivators, and he has not cultivated well for nearly a thousand years, and it is not easy to maintain his cultivation from regressing, let alone any growth.
After being abandoned for such a long time, Zhou Xian's cultivation situation can be imagined, it is definitely not worse, not only is the whole person's cultivation very impetuous, but more importantly, the foundation has not been solidified, and he has no secret method to suppress the ascension of his own realm, so he can't delay the arrival of the heavenly tribulation, so that he can buy enough time to make up for it. As a result, before he was fully ready, the catastrophe had already befallen him.
After surviving a third of the tribulation and finding that he really did not have any possibility of success, Zhou Xian immediately gave up the catastrophe immediately, and dismembered his body, escaped from Yuanying, and then began to turn to the cultivation of scattered immortals.
Due to the relatively adequate preparation, when he transferred to the cultivation of scattered immortals, he did not encounter any particularly huge difficulties, except for the destruction of all the magic weapons of the catastrophe and the use of a lot of healing pills, the whole process was also considered smooth, in one go, and there were no fatal mistakes.
Therefore, after cultivating the scattered immortals, Zhou Xian has not only adjusted his image, he looks a lot older, his temperament has also changed greatly, and there are a few more ethereal immortals, but there is not much change in his personality, and it is still the same as usual, unlike some people who have cultivated to scattered immortals, their personalities will suddenly become extremely perverse and moody, just like a different person.
Up to now, Zhou Xian has successfully cultivated to the Scattered Immortal for more than 900 years, and will soon usher in the second Scattered Immortal Tribulation, once he successfully survives this Heavenly Tribulation, he will immediately advance to the Second Tribulation Scattered Immortal Realm, and his cultivation and strength will grow to the mid-tribulation realm. And he came to the Silent Annihilation Star this time precisely to find suitable materials to use to refine his own half-immortal weapon-level flying sword and add some help to the tribulation.
......
After a brief narrative, Zhou Xian finally explained the cause and effect of his separation from Lu Yan, and his mind slowly recovered from the long memories, and when the narration was over, he smiled again, and asked Ye Qiuli very easily: "That's the matter, it's very unexpected ...... Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"I see, I didn't expect that my ancestor would encounter such an unfortunate experience, and finally have to be transferred to a cultivator!" After listening to Zhou Xian's narration, Ye Qiuli really had mixed feelings, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. In the process of cultivation, there are indeed countless risks, all kinds of accidents happen from time to time, and no one knows what they will encounter.
Thinking of Zhou Xian's misfortune, Ye Qiuli quickly turned to himself again, and was once again glad for the previous unexpected battle that was violently abnormal, but did not cause many serious consequences. Their luck this time was indeed good, they met a junior scattered immortal who couldn't exert their full strength, otherwise, I am afraid that they would have been defeated and withdrawn from the Silent Annihilation Star a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he immediately sighed again: "No wonder the master didn't do his best when he fought before, it turned out that the catastrophe was coming, and he couldn't be hurt, so he spent most of his energy on defense." ”
"Hehe, you guessed right, that's exactly what happened. If it weren't for the fact that my catastrophe was approaching and I couldn't be seriously harmed, where would I have been entangled with you for so long, and I would have driven you out of this planet a long time ago!" Regarding Ye Qiuli's speculation, Zhou Xian obviously agreed very much, and even nodded to confirm that if he exerted his full strength without any scruples, I am afraid that he would be able to defeat the two of them without waiting for Ye Qiuli to send out the bundle of immortals.
"Hehe, this is the luck of all of us, if it weren't for that, where would Senior Zhou and Brother Ye have the opportunity to get to know each other and continue the same relationship with each other. If you miss this time, if you want to meet again next time, you don't know when it will be!" After listening to the conversation between Zhou Xian and Ye Qiuli, Sikong Xingxing was also glad that he was able to fight with a scattered immortal master for most of the day, and immediately laughed.
"Haha, yes, it's really luck for all of us. By chance, not only did the old man get the news of his long-lost disciple, but he also saw a good apprentice with outstanding talent and amazing talent. Hearing Sikong Xingxing's words, and then recalling the original reality, Zhou Xian also laughed quite approvingly, and was also very glad that he hadn't fought with Ye Qiuli and the two before, so he stopped in time.
Seeing that Zhou Xian was very happy, obviously on the rise, Sikong Xingxing hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask a question that made him very puzzled: "Senior, junior has always been very puzzled by one thing, and I want to ask my seniors for advice." Since the cultivator you mentioned earlier has already prepared the materials for cultivating the Scattered Immortals, why did he fail to survive the tribulation and not even cultivate the Scattered Immortals in the end?"
"Hehe, you haven't survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and you don't know the danger in it! Although you can dismantle your body and escape from the Yuan Infant during the Tribulation, so as to turn into a cultivator, you must do it before you survive half of the Heavenly Tribulation. Once that limit is exceeded, there will be no way to solve it, and it can only persevere, either succeeding or failing, and there is no one in ten thousand who can escape from Yuanying at the last moment. ...... That senior had obviously survived most of the catastrophes, but he was completely defeated at the last moment, and was struck by the thunderbolts, and his careful preparation was completely useless. Zhou Xian didn't feel anything strange about Sikong picking up stars, and immediately answered briefly after hearing the words.
Thinking of what happened to that senior, and then thinking about his choice when crossing the tribulation, Zhou Xian really had mixed feelings, full of emotion, and after answering the question of Sikong picking stars, he once again sighed with admiration and regret: "Seriously, except for the kind of super master who escaped from Yuanying at the last moment, the people who dismantled their bodies and turned to cultivate scattered immortals in the process of crossing the tribulation, their cultivation is actually far lower than that of those cultivators who failed to cross the tribulation...... Only that kind of top master is qualified to challenge all the heavenly tribulations and pursue the opportunity to become an immortal. Though they are defeated, they are still glorious!"
"I don't know what the master wants to get when he comes to the Silent Star Earth Heart Fire Cave this time?" Seeing that Zhou Xian was full of emotion, and Sikong Xingxing also had palpitations, Ye Qiuli hurriedly changed the topic and attracted everyone's attention. On this occasion, it is indeed not very appropriate to talk about such a heavy topic, and it would be bad if it affected the confidence of everyone to cross the tribulation.
"Well, the old man has already told you before, I came here this time to collect sword refining materials. ...... When I was looking for a way back to the Immortal Fate Star, I once flew to this planet by accident and found a fire-attribute spirit beast on it. This time, I am just going to kill this unicorn beast and use its inner pill and beast spirit to refine the fairy sword. Hearing Ye Qiuli's question, Zhou Xian didn't think much about it, and immediately said his goal.
Now that they are almost family, it is time to be open and honest and work together, and there is no need to hide anything. If he is not happy in this kind of trivial matter, he still has to hide and spit out, it will be too much of a loss of his identity and bearing as a master of cultivation, if this causes everyone to cooperate with mistakes and fail to act, it will make everyone regret it and be annoyed.
"Master Ancestor's goal is indeed this unicorn beast. After hearing Zhou Xian's explanation clearly, knowing that he wanted to seize the beast spirit to refine the flying sword, Ye Qiuli immediately sighed lightly in a sudden realization, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile on his face. Obviously, this result was exactly what he expected, and it did not exceed his psychological expectations in the slightest.
In fact, as early as when Zhou Xian took out the water spirit and gave it to him, and explained that the water attribute fairy sword was not suitable for his own attributes, and he wanted to ingest the beast spirit of a fire spirit beast to refine the fairy sword, Ye Qiuli had almost guessed the purpose of Zhou Xian's trip, and now he continued to ask, just to be more sure and see if Zhou Xian's plan was the same as he expected.
As a master of refining, he can even refine living things and refine living magic weapons, which are extremely out of the way to refine weapons, not to mention the simple work of adding beast spirits and refining spiritual magic weapons, which can be called a piece of cake, as long as he is a little more serious, he can definitely get his hands on it. Therefore, as soon as he heard Zhou Xian's few words, he guessed the whole thing.
This method is also one of the most mainstream means for refining masters in the cultivation realm to use demon beasts and spirit beast materials, and there are many relevant records in the refining secret record "Changfeng Treasure Book" left by Wei Changfeng, the great master of refining, and he can refine an extremely excellent magic weapon by choosing one at will.
It's just that after thinking of the Qimen refining secret method that he learned from the cultivation secret book of the Ancient Relic Star Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Ye Qiuli didn't agree with Zhou Xian's previous plan, this method of use was too wasteful, and it couldn't give full play to the full effect of the spirit beast refining weapon, if he was allowed to do it, he could definitely retain the combat ability of that unicorn beast during the Tribulation Period to the greatest extent, and refine a powerful magic weapon beyond imagination.
