Cheng Ling slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. His cultivation had finally reached the level of Tribulation Transcendence, and his combat power had increased by another level. Looking at the fairy crystal fragment in his hand, after being absorbed just now, it has not disappeared, but the color is much duller.
He was secretly horrified at how huge the energy in the Immortal Crystal was, and that he hadn't even used up such an egg-sized fragment to reach the completion of the Tribulation. With so many fragments, you no longer have to worry about resources for future cultivation.
After looking inside, his Dantian has grown a little, and the sword essence contained in it has not yet reached its limit. There is still some distance to reach the peak of transcending the tribulation. Thinking of this, he took out a small enlightenment pill from the ring, swallowed it, and absorbed and refined it again.
In this way, he completely fell into practice. Five days later, the first fragment turned into powder, and the energy inside was consumed. He took out another one and continued to absorb it.
Time passed slowly, and a month passed quickly. After the third fairy crystal fragment, his cultivation finally reached the peak of transcending the tribulation. If he wanted to improve again, he would try to reach the Mahayana stage.
He stood up and relaxed his body. His cultivation at the peak of overcoming the tribulation made him feel that he had endless strength. Clenching his hands, there was a sound of explosions in the air. With his current cultivation level, he was sure to win against Yun Piaomiao's clone in a short time.
"It took a month to refine three fairy crystal fragments, reaching the peak of transcending the tribulation, and greatly increasing the strength. Let's stabilize it for a while and see how Jing Wen and the others are doing!"
I released a Qingshui Jue on myself, sorted it out, and came to the secret room where Yun Jingwen was retreating. The latter's condition was better. He could walk freely in the secret room. Seeing Cheng Ling coming over, he said happily: "Brother Cheng, I have recovered a lot. In another month, I will be no different from ordinary people."
Cheng Ling was also very happy and said: "Don't worry, no one will disturb us here, and people from the Jiang family can't enter it. Let's just practice in seclusion here."
"Well, Brother Cheng, your cultivation level has improved again."
"Yes, it's all thanks to the fairy crystal fragments and absorbing the energy in them that allowed me to break through to the peak of transcending tribulation."
Yun Jingwen was surprised and paused for a long time before saying: "Brother Cheng, I really don't know how to describe your qualifications. You can absorb the energy in the fairy crystal just with your cultivation in the Tribulation Stage. It's really unbelievable."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I am also a dead horse and a living doctor. Now the nine major forces are pressing forward step by step. If I can't improve my cultivation in a short period of time, I won't be able to resist it."
Yun Jingwen nodded in agreement, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Brother Cheng, what did you find about the patterns in the hall?"
Cheng Ling's heart moved. Did Yun Jingwen also find out about the golden page? But he didn't say this out loud, and asked: "Why, aren't those the deeds of the Zhang family's ancestors? Did you find anything else?"
"Yes, after seeing those patterns, I want to tell you that some of them may be related to the fact that this continent cannot ascend."
Cheng Ling was startled and asked quickly: "What, where did you see it?"
"Do you still remember what the monk saw in the fifth picture?"
Cheng Ling recalled in his mind that the fifth pattern was a large area of ruins and the mysterious creatures that appeared. He then asked: "Do you know the ruins?"
Yun Jingwen said: "Yes, I didn't want to tell you this originally.
Because I have never been there, I just heard my master talk about it. The ruins are the passage from this continent to the star of life. As long as you break through the ruins, you can reach the outside of the continent. "
"What! Are those mysterious creatures the guardians of the Canglan Continent?"
"Yes, when the Mahayana period is completed, the ascension passage will be opened and the immortal world will be led up. But for some reason, for tens of thousands of years, no monks from this continent have gone to the immortal world through the ascension passage. They can only come to the ruins. Outside, to a new universe.”
"That space is different from the fairy world. Only by converting all your true energy into fairy power can you ascend to the fairy world!"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and asked: "So, the universe outside the ruins is between the fairyland and Canglan Continent. If you want to go to the fairyland, you must enter that universe, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then what's in the universe?"
"I don't know either. I just heard from the master that there are many living stars in that universe, and there are even huge star fields. There is also a saying that there is a passage to the devil world and the netherworld."
"Devil world? Netherworld?" Cheng Ling was shocked and shouted: "You said that is the passage leading to these two places?"
"I don't know either, I just heard it from the master."
Cheng Ling was silent. Yun Jingwen didn't know much. Most of it was from the sect's classics and what her master said. However, this is similar to the scene he saw in the secret realm of the Alchemy King Valley. Those sparkling star points are full of life, and perhaps they are really like existences like stars of life.
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that these were all things that happened a long time ago. Now that I am still far away from Mahayana perfection, I no longer worry about things unfounded. Said: "Okay, thank you for telling me this. You must be preparing me to leave this continent in the future!"
Yun Jingwen said: "Yes, I don't know if the master knows my situation and whether he will come down to take me back. Anyway, telling you this is to be prepared."
Cheng Ling suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, and a trace of reluctance. After walking through the wind and rain with Yun Jingwen, and suddenly finding out that the other person was about to return to the fairy world, she felt an indescribable melancholy.
After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Do you really want to return to the fairy world?"
Yun Jingwen's heart trembled. Cheng Ling's tone made her feel a little confused. Thinking about everything she had with him, how could she say it easily. After a long time, he said dryly: "Brother Cheng, I don't want to return to the fairy world, but if the master comes to pick me up, there is nothing I can do!"
Cheng Ling nodded briefly and stopped talking. The two of them seemed to fall into a long silence. After a long time, I borrowed the excuse to go see Zhang Xiyan and the two girls, then said goodbye and left!
Yun Jingwen looked at the background where he left, feeling a dull pain in her chest. Her body, which had finally recovered, began to become chaotic again. Within a moment, she spurted out several mouthfuls of blood. She hurriedly swallowed a pill and murmured: "Cheng Brother, if it’s really possible, I just want to be by your side all the time!”
Cheng Ling didn't hear Yun Jingwen's words. He came to the secret room where the two women were retreating. When he glanced at them with his consciousness, he found that they were still practicing. He put down a few bottles of pills at the door and turned around to leave.
He felt unhappy and unconsciously walked towards the door on the left. The cold air that was constantly exuding seemed to soothe my mood a lot. Just as I was about to return to the secret room to practice, there seemed to be a call in my mind.
"Come...come...come in...!"
He woke up with a start, and instinctively wanted to run away, but the call seemed to go straight to his soul, and he could hear it even if he blocked his ears.
He was secretly horrified in his heart, the sword intent was exuding vigorously, and the call in his mind was completely cut to pieces. Looking at the deep cave, I felt a faint sense of crisis, and there seemed to be a throbbing, as if there was something I desperately needed in that dark space.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally strode towards the door. The crisis can be seen in the pattern. At least the monk has not appeared again since entering the gate, otherwise the pattern on the wall would not stop at that scene.
But the call in the soul is very strong. There are opportunities as much as there are crises. Since he came to this world, he has been following this rule. Every opportunity is accompanied by danger.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward! In order to improve your cultivation and combat power faster, such a crisis is essential!
With firm eyes and slow steps, he walked towards the door step by step. Come to the edge and notice the difference on the ground. The floor in the hall is made up of huge stones, but the ground here is very messy, and small stones are found from time to time.
The stones were dark in color, like stars in the sky, and exuded a cold aura. He knelt down, picked one up from the ground, and held it in the palm of his hand. The cold aura seemed to go straight into the soul, and 95% of the sword intent trembled slightly.
However, his soul keenly discovered that this trembling was not useless. The sword intention seemed to be more condensed, as if it had been tempered in some way.
After a long time, the color of the stone in his hand gradually changed, the depth gradually disappeared, and finally turned into an ordinary stone. The soul in his mind seemed to have a little more chill, and the sword intention became a little more condensed.
"Could these stones improve my sword power?"
Muttering to himself, he walked through the door again and stepped inside. There was a dizzying feeling, as if after a long distance teleportation array, I don't know how long it took before my feet stepped on the flat ground.
Looking towards the ground, I saw that there were deep stones everywhere. The color was much darker than what I had seen before, and the size of these stones was larger than those outside the previous gate.
After stopping for a long time, he picked up a piece from the ground again, this time instead of holding it in his hand, he placed it directly between his eyebrows. The extreme coldness came from the center of his eyebrows, and his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly used his sword intention to resist the coldness.
A wonderful thing happened. After the cold air touched his sword intention, it was like a hungry man seeing the delicacies, and they all rushed towards the sword intention. Every ray of cold air is like a hammer, constantly beating the illusory sword intent.
The illusory long sword in my mind was knocked out again and again, and then replenished instantly. After this continued for a long time, there seemed to be a sword cry coming from the illusory long sword, and the sword intent attribute increased linearly, reaching 96%!
Cheng Ling was very happy. The stones on the ground actually had the effect of improving and tempering the sword's will. Such an opportunity was really rare. After reaching 95% of the sword intent, it is really difficult to improve it again. I never thought that there is such a treasure.
With a wave of his right hand, he instantly grabbed hundreds of black stones, sat down cross-legged, picked up one of them, placed it between his eyebrows, and started tempering it again!
