Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ascension
Far away in the dense forest, the battle continues.
But no matter how they fought, the outcome of the battle was already doomed, the defeat of the Heavenly God Beast Refining was a foregone conclusion, and they lost their strategic advantage, no matter how hard they tried, it was useless.
This has nothing to do with who belongs to the first treasure, from the beginning of the plan of the Tang Dynasty to encircle the point of reinforcement, it is destined that the key to determining the outcome lies in diplomacy rather than strength, and if you lose your diplomatic first, you will lose the whole war.
At this time in the forest, after resting, Tang Zheng and Wei Tianchong's bodies had recovered a lot.
Wei Tianchong shook his body and stood up and said, "Let's go, go to Senior Brother Ye and Senior Brother Peng to have a look, maybe you can still get some benefits." β
When he first entered the battlefield, he made a small gain, and it was when he was in high spirits, and his original mentality was swept away.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "If you want to go, I won't go." β
"Ahh Wei Tianchong was puzzled.
The other factions are not like the Seven Peerless Sects that can be contacted at will, that is, they can be gathered together through the treasure light, and if they finally get together, there is naturally no need to disperse again, so according to Wei Tianchong's idea, the next thing is for everyone to act together.
Tang Zheng just smiled: "Naturally, I am looking for opportunities to improve myself, otherwise what do I want to do with those many blessed land shares?"
As far as Tang Zheng is concerned, the first thing he has to do now is to improve his realm, and then work hard after he enters the mortal, so he is not in a hurry to be with everyone for the time being.
Anyway, the two factions of the Heavenly God Beast Refining have been out of the game in advance, and the next thing is the confrontation between the Seven Peerless Heavenly Sect and the Thousand Feelings Sect of the Moon Washing Sect. If it is a confrontation, there will naturally be a stalemate, and this is exactly what Tang Zheng wants.
The longer this race drags on, the better his chances of getting into the extraordinary.
Now he has Ye Tianyan, Wei Tianchong, Seven Peerless Gates, plus his share of the blessed land of a total of eight people, in addition to eight bottles of Zhenyuan Dan, plus the aura of this blessed land is several times richer than the outside world, as long as he is given a month, he can basically rush to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Sea.
Of course, with the current form, it will not be easy for this game to last for a month, but there is a way to deal with it.
At this moment, Wei Tianchong was very reluctant to hear that Tang Zheng was going to leave alone, but what Tang Zheng said was also that cultivation is a very personal matter, and it is destined to be not suitable for being with everyone, so he can only say: "Then what should we do if we want to find you?"
Tang Zheng thought for a while, pointed to a mountain in the distance and said: "I have experienced that mountain before I came, and I saw a mountain with a flying cliff, shaped like a fish's lips, in the position of the dry pole, at the turn of the Gen, it is a good place to swallow the wind and drink the dew, and absorb the spiritual light." I'm going to go there to improve myself, and if you have anything to say, or if you get any good things, you can pass on the sword to me. If other senior brothers have something like ghost face ginseng, they can also sell it to me, of course, they will have to wait until I get out of the blessed land before they can pay it back. By the way, if there is any news of Dumenqi, notify me as soon as possible. β
Regarding cultivation resources, Tang Zheng's attitude was that the more the better.
Speaking of this, Tang Zai smiled: "Actually, it's not easy to come to this blessed land, so why rush to divide the winners and losers." If you want me to say, let's stop together, make good use of this opportunity to practice for a few days, improve your strength and then duel, and then applaud. β
Wei Tianchong scratched his scalp: "That's right, but once the treasure is born, the battle will start, I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to stop if they want to." β
Tang Zai smiled: "This is not simple. Once you have the treasure, you can put it in a mustard seed bag. β
"Huh?" Wei Tianchong was surprised.
Tang Zheng said: "You think, as long as the treasure is in the bag, there will be no treasure light leakage, and naturally there will be no fighting." Of course, in this way, the treasure does not belong to the recipient before the six-hour limit is reached, but what does it matter? When you're almost done, take it out again, gather everyone, and fight to the death. Do you know what Yun Wuji's biggest mistake was? It wasn't that he snatched the first treasure, but that he didn't unite everyone first after getting the Taiyi Qingxuan Cup. If he had united everyone first, and then found a way to capture the hostages, then this plan to encircle and send reinforcements would not have been able to be implemented. β
As soon as the people outside heard this, they scolded Tang Zheng together, this kid was too damaged.
According to him, the next few days will be destined to have a period of dullness, and no one will leak the treasure light until everyone is satisfied with their cultivation. Once it appears, it will definitely be a wild treasure light from all directions, and then a scuffle, and the dust will settle.
As for the middle days, toddlers are destined to be difficult, bland, and boring.
Even Wei Tianchong was stunned when he heard this: "This is too bad, the place for Xiaoyao Palace to provide us is for fighting, not for cultivation." β
Tang Zai snorted: "I know, the problem is that they use the cultivation place to fight, and if they don't cultivate, it's too wasteful!"
Hearing this, even Wei Tianchong couldn't help but be moved.
After the two discussed, Wei Tianchong finally agreed to Tang Zheng's plan and went to find someone else, while Tang Zheng left alone.
Walking along the edge of the jungle, Tang Zheng walked leisurely, but his heart was still echoing with the previous battle with Lan Yu.
For him, this was also the first time, he did not rely on a strong physical body, but used spells to fight, and it was in this situation that he realized that his true strength in cultivation was so poor.
The student who has mastered the three secret methods of the Shenxiao Sword Code is still so vulnerable in front of Lan Yu.
Of course, this is due to the strength of the opponent, but it is also related to his long-term exploitation and scheming, ignoring penance. Otherwise, with the level of the phaseless golden body, it is definitely not under the Ninety-Nine True Finger, if it weren't for the level of Lan Yu's cultivation being higher than him, how could he penetrate it with one finger and hit him hard?
Human energy is limited, and sometimes they calculate too much and do less. With the benefits he has gained over the years, he should have gone further in terms of cultivation strength, and the reason why he is so ordinary is that the core of it lies in this.
Of course, it's no wonder. At that time, Tang Zheng was going to fight against a behemoth like the Heavenly God Palace, no matter how he cultivated, it was impossible for him to resist it, so he could only replace it with intrigue and trickery.
Now that the ontology has entered the big array, and the Heavenly God Palace has also been misled into thinking that Tang Jie is You Shaofeng, all the confrontations on the surface have disappeared, and Tang Zheng has returned to his own initiative, so next, it is time to improve himself wholeheartedly. Before his strength reached a certain level, there was no need to have too many conflicts with the Heavenly God Palace for the time being.
Moreover, Tang Zheng realized that he now had an innate advantage, that is, the ontological clone.
Although the ontological clone is not one, and it is difficult to help each other, one soul and two thoughts are equivalent to having the innate ability to think twice, so it is equivalent to having twice the thinking speed of others.
This speed of thought may seem to have nothing to do with cultivation, but don't forget that cultivating spells requires proficiency and repeated memorization.
The students have always had the pain of time arrangement in the realm improvement and spell cultivation, Qi Shaoming was focused on combat spells and ignored the realm improvement, and he did not advance for a long time, until he had a fight with Tang Zheng and was beaten by the head before he woke up.
But now that Tang Zheng has one soul and two thoughts, many things are much more convenient. In the future, when the body is fully proficient, this perception will naturally be accepted by the doppelganger, and the only thing that needs to be done is to let this body adapt to it, and you can master a spell in a short time.
In this way, it is equivalent to the realm and the battle.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng was also excited.
Although the cultivation of the main body will inevitably be affected by this, don't forget that the original body is in the big array, first, there is no need for battle, and second, it will not be long before you can enter the fifth layer of the Ten Thousand Flowers Array. When you get there, there are countless resources for the ontology to use, and it is estimated that you can pile up a big master by relying on the resource pile, so there is no need to worry.
Leave time to the doppelganger and resources to the body, so that the internal and external bodies can be improved at the same time, this is Tang Zheng's plan.
If he hadn't obtained the eye flesh, the clone would not have been able to cultivate, maybe the current Tang Tribulation would have been like this, but after being able to cultivate, Tang Tribulation's mind came alive, and he really wanted to know what his future would be if it continued like this.
When dusk fell, Tang Zheng finally arrived at the fish lip stone.
It is located at the top of the cliff, the huge stone body extends outward, hollow like a fish's head, and the aura around it is rolling, like a cloud drumbling, just as Tang Zheng said, the place where the Tianyuan is occupied and the aura is swollen, which is the good place for cultivation.
In fact, this is the cultivation platform for the students of the Xiaoyao Palace in the blessed land, and only by getting enough contributions can they have the qualifications to cultivate here for a certain period of time.
Because of the six major factions, Xiaoyao Palace opened this place, and the first blessed land cultivation of the Tang Dynasty was completed in another sect, which is interesting to think about.
Standing on the fish lip stone, watching the surging clouds and the aura, Tang Zheng's heart was also cheerful.
Looking down from this, you can faintly see that there is a stone forest under the mountain in the distance, and the stone tablet is erected, which is the ancestor platform of Langya blessed land.
The so-called ancestral platform is actually the mound of the ancestors of the sect.
After the ancestors of each faction returned to the ruins, most of the flesh and blood remained, and Dan Yuan returned to heaven and earth, occasionally left, often also bones and treasures, treasured for the sect. For the need to hang, so the crown of clothes is the mound, is the ancestor platform.
It is also the most important place in the blessed land of all factions, and although it has no practical value, its symbolic meaning is extraordinary.
It is precisely because of the existence of these ancestors that they have created this blessed land for future generations.
Therefore, in this competition, one of the most unviolable rules is not to destroy the ancestral platform, and those who dare to violate it, even if you are a member of the six major factions, you must die!
Looking at the ancestral stone forest from afar, Tang Zheng bowed to the stone forest.
This is his respect for these ancestors who selflessly dedicated themselves to the sect, and he is also grateful for providing them with such a blessed land, living in this blessed land is like living in their bodies, and there is no need to be disrespected.
He didn't know that the people outside were looking at him at this moment, and he didn't know that his worship had greatly increased the good opinion of the entire Xiaoyao Palace, maybe it didn't matter if he knew.
From this day on, Tang Zheng lived on the top of this mountain and officially practiced.
Tang Zheng's cultivation is not to sit there and not move, on the contrary, he is quite busy.
Every night, Tang Zheng will enter the hollow interior of the fish lip stone, and use the clear eye here. At this time, it was the deepest time of the night, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and the night was deep, basically no one would pay attention to Tang Zheng.
After observing the surroundings with a clear eye, the next afternoon, Tang Zheng would go down the mountain and spend half an hour searching for the spiritual herbs he needed.
Early in the morning is the time when the spiritual tide of the blessed land gathers and is the most concentrated. At this time, Tang Zheng would refine the various elixirs obtained according to the specified method, and then take them one by one and absorb them with all his might.
A large amount of elixir turned into precious true yuan and gathered into Tang Tribulation's body little by little, opening up the spiritual space, expanding the meridians, refining the body and mind, coupled with the abundant spiritual energy around, almost every time the Great Zhou Tian operated, Tang Tribulation would bring more than ten or twenty points of spiritual liquid growth.
This growth rate can be called terrifying, with the help of a large number of drugs, Tang Zheng is crazy to improve, almost every day, his strength will change a little obviously, the spiritual space expansion range dΓΉ from the first level of the spiritual sea to the middle level of the rapid ascension, the spiritual energy is getting more and more sufficient, the cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, the cultivation is to the fullest, and even there will be signs of spiritual absorption on the body.
At this point, even a fool can see what he wants to do.
"Advancement to Linghai Consummation?It turns out that he wants to take this opportunity to advance to Linghai Consummation?" Xie Fengtang couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, it's a good idea, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." β
Unless it becomes a true tradition, there are not many opportunities for students to enter the blessed land, and the resources in the blessed land are vast, and if they can make good use of it, they can indeed greatly improve themselves. However, it is rare to be able to use it to such an extreme extent as Tang Zheng.
If Tang Zheng could really reach the consummation of the Spirit Sea before the end of this competition, then he would not have gone through this experience in vain.
You must know that Tang Zheng's cultivation has only been four and a half years now, and the consummation of the Spirit Sea in four and a half years is not unusual, but that is for the ninth turn of the Jade Gate, and it is extremely rare for the fifth turn of the Jade Gate.
Bright Night Sky Interface: "I think his ambition is only afraid that it will not stop there." β
Xie Fengtang sighed: "He doesn't still want to impact the fan, right?"
It is not easy to open up the bridge between heaven and earth, and it is often necessary for the Master to guide you before opening it, and you can do it according to the situation at the time. If you are not careful, you will fail, or you will go mad or even die. And Tang Zheng hit the consummation with a lot of resources, and the side effect is that the foundation is not strong because the improvement is too fast, and it takes time to consolidate, otherwise the risk is greater.
This is also the reason why some students, even if they come from a family, cannot rise quickly in a short period of time. It's not that their elders don't have so many resources for them, but that it doesn't make sense to give them, but it only increases the risk and harms the younger generations, so in terms of resources, all measures are taken according to their capabilities.
The power here is not to measure one's own financial resources, but to measure the potential of future generations.
It is not impossible for Tang Zheng to quickly rush to the spiritual sea with resources, but the price is risk. However, with his qualifications, it is difficult to become a big weapon if he does not take risks, so Xie Fengtang can understand his behavior, and a small risk is enough, and Xie Fengtang is confident that he can still master it. But if he continues to break away from the ordinary, it will be to push the risk to the extreme.
The risk of rushing out of the ordinary was originally not large, but when he did this, the risk of one percent was increased to twenty percent, and it was no wonder that Xie Fengtang's color changed.
At this time, the night sky had already said: "I think it is very possible." β
Xie Fengtang said, "Why is the Master so sure?"
Ming Yekong chuckled: "Your student, don't you understand? If it was someone else, I wouldn't dare to say, but this son is different." Bold, black-hearted, dare to think, dare to do! These days, he has brought us enough shocks, and my greatest impression of him is that others dare not do it. Although the consummation of the impact on the spiritual sea is amazing, you and I can still accept it. Since it is an act that you and I can accept, it is not the limit of his Tang Tribulation. β
Xie Fengtang was completely speechless.
He had known Tang Zheng for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would see this son more clearly than himself in the night sky.
His method of judging Tang Zheng's behavior is so simple, yet so reasonable.
This is really something that Tang Zheng can do.
Thinking of this, Xie Fengtang stomped his feet: "If you want to pass the Heaven and Earth Bridge, you need to feel the will of heaven and earth first." Those who understand their meaning will lead to their way, and those who understand their gods will get their way. Therefore, those who open up the bridge between heaven and earth are both risks and opportunities, and they are the closest to the avenue. He doesn't know anything now and just does it, without the Master's guidance, just for a momentary moment, and he misses the opportunity by adding risks!"
Xie Fengtang pounded his chest as he spoke, feeling sorry, as if the Tang Tribulation was already over at this time.
Ming Yekong looked at the smile and said: "Don't worry, I think that although Tang Zheng is bold, he is not a reckless person, if he dares to do it, he must have the certainty of doing so." β
"How sure can he be? He can't even find anyone to guide him now. Don't tell me about Peng Yaolong and a few of them, these guys are new to the world, although they have experience, they are shallow after all. If you want to really help him realize the Dao, it must be the Heavenly Mind State, and you have to go through the Heart Demon Tribulation, enter the Soul Transformation Period, and reach the point of the Heavenly Heart of the Upper Body and the first realization of the Divine Thoughts. I haven't done this myself, and I'm going to ask Master for your help, now that he is in the blessed land, where can I find such a person to give him guidance?" Speaking of this, Xie Fengtang was so angry that he was about to tremble.
Even the bright night sky was speechless for a while, and finally just sighed: "This is the chance, it should be his, there is nature, it shouldn't be his, and you can't ask for it." Maybe God is destined to be a meteor, but it is bright for a while, but it is difficult to last for a long time. β
At this moment, the two were silent together.
On the fish lip stone, Tang Zheng didn't know that anyone was worried about him, and he was still taking care of his own cultivation. The previous plan worked, and since the Tang Dynasty offered the plan, the blessed land has no more skyrocketing glow.
One day, as soon as Tang Zheng finished cultivating, he saw a glow of light suddenly rush up in the sky, but it was only for an instant, and the glow disappeared. Tang Zheng knew that someone had obtained the treasure and put it in the bag.
Because of this, Tang Zheng didn't know if Dumen Qi had been born, nor did he know how many Ten Treasures had been produced.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
As the date was postponed, Tang Zheng's strength grew rapidly, and every day, he was closing the gap with others.
At the same time, on the other side, the ontological Tang Tribulation in the big array was also working hard.
He put down the Jiuli Heart Sutra that he had been studying, and delved into some other spells, the first one he was proficient in was the Split Jade Finger.
As I thought at the beginning, from this day on, the main body will serve the clone, and I will spend a lot of time practicing spells every day.
Occasionally, the main body will also make a replica to meet He Chong, and chat with him when he has nothing to do.
At first, He Chong was not interested in Tang Zheng, and even if he spoke, he was mostly quarrelling.
However, in this big array, apart from Deng Yuqing and Duan Laosi, he couldn't find anyone else to chat with. Deng Duan and the others will only be submissive to themselves, and their words are actually quite boring, but Tang Zheng has never treated him as a real person, and there are no guests between the words, calling him by name.
At first, He Chong was still very angry, and sometimes he destroyed the copy of Tang Zheng at every turn, but after a long time, he knew that it didn't work, so he didn't do it. After a longer period of time, He Chong got used to the tone of Tang Zheng talking to him, and began to feel that it was actually more interesting to talk to this kid than to talk to Deng Duan.
So he gradually ignored these two guys, and instead chatted happily with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng took a bite of Lao He, and He Chong didn't mind anymore.
Today, the replica of Tang Zheng came over again, found He Chong, and was not polite to him, sat down in front of him with a big grin, and said to him: "Old He, tell me what things to pay attention to when impacting the mortal?"
"You?" He Chong smiled contemptuously: "You're still a long way from that step, right?"
"Just ask, don't be so stingy. β
He Chong thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, if the fifth formation is as you said, you can't enter the mortal, then I'm afraid you have to cultivate to that step before you can enter the formation, if you have any questions, just ask." β
