This thunder disaster lasted for more than two hours.
Because strictly speaking, it is not a thunder disaster.
It was not what Luo Xingchen expected. It might be two thunder catastrophes that would rise to two minor realms in a row.
But there were three rounds of thunder tribulations, twenty-seven thunder tribulations.
Although after each thunder tribulation, the clouds in the sky would leave Luo Xingchen with a buffer time of nearly an hour before the next round of thunder tribulations would fall. However, such intensive three rounds of thunder tribulations still almost left Luo Xingchen in the last one. It was wiped out in ashes and smoke.
But fortunately, at the last critical moment, Qu Wuming had a sudden idea and threw Luo Xingchen a Yin-Yang Hunyuan Pill and a few drops of Ghost Servant Holy Blood. Let Luo Xingchen suddenly burst out with a strong counterattack at the critical moment, smashing through the last thunder tribulation with one sword, and successfully survived three rounds of thunder tribulation.
In the blessings of heaven and earth after the thunder tribulation, with the blessing of the Yin Yang Hunyuan Pill and the Holy Blood of the Ghost Servant, Luo Xingchen's injuries were fully healed, and his mana was abundant, and he actually stepped into the ninth level of the Void Refining Stage. realm.
Luo Xingchen, who had survived three thunder tribulations in one breath, underwent a shocking and huge change - the white hair on his head and the long five-willow beard on his chest all turned pitch black in the blessings of heaven and earth. Luo Xingchen Xingchen's face, which had already had some wrinkles, became very smooth again, like a new life. At first glance, it seemed that the whole person was only in his thirties.
Such changes are very common among ascetics who are about to cross a big realm. After all, every time one crosses a great realm, it means a substantial increase in lifespan. In this way, even if the old man is already at the end of his lifespan before his cultivation level is improved, once he is promoted to the next great realm, his lifespan will be extended. Compared with the Yuan Dynasty, many people will suddenly become relatively "younger" in age, and their bodies will naturally undergo changes similar to rejuvenation.
And the next scene was something that Qu Wuming would never forget.
Because this was Qu Wuming’s first time seeing the rumored “Ascension Platform”.
The so-called ascension platform is a white platform that looks like gold but not gold, and looks like jade but not jade. Only cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection on the ninth level of the Void Refining Stage can step onto this stage, and then they will follow this ascension stage, across the vast sky of the galaxy, and ascend to the Sumeru Spiritual Realm.
And once the ascension platform is lowered, the ascender has no other choice. If he is still unwilling to go on the stage, the ascension platform will take the initiative to take him into Taichung and take him away by force. However, if this is the case, it is said that the ascended person will be brought to the Sumeru spiritual world in a "posture" bound by spiritual power, and that binding power will last for a long time after he leaves the ascension platform before dissipating. Go, for those who have just stepped into the Sumeru spiritual world, the dangers involved are naturally self-evident.
Luo Xingchen was also a little surprised that he had to leave the Shifang Realm after surviving a calamity. Not only did many of the arrangements he originally planned come to nothing, but even his sect was unable to inform him in time. He looked at the sky As the ascending platform slowly descended, I couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded.
However, the time on stage was limited, so Luo Xingchen had no choice but to entrust Qu Wuming with many things to do after he left, and specifically told him to go to Sword Sect after returning to tell him the news that he had ascended. Tell the sect.
Qu Wuming had a good impression of this "Uncle Master" whom he only had a relationship with. Unfortunately, before he could ask Luo Xingchen for more advice, Luo Xingchen was about to ascend to the Sumeru Spiritual World. He couldn't help but feel regret and envy in his heart. .
Unfortunately, since then, the Shifang Realm and the Eastern Continent have lost another great sword cultivator who shares the same goals with him, punishing rape and eradicating evil. What he envies is that Luo Xingchen is about to enter a world with more spiritual energy than the Shifang Realm, and a higher limit for cultivation than that of the Shifang Realm. The world of ten directions is higher and the path of cultivation is more exciting.
Before parting, Luo Xingchen gently tapped his finger on Qu Wuming's eyebrows, and passed on all his major skills and practice experience to Qu Wuming, and told him that if he met a suitable successor in the future, he would accept a disciple on his behalf. Continue to spread this practice. Qu Wuming reciprocated the favor and gave Luo Xingchen a piece of underworld crystal and a small piece of Tai Sui crystal core specially sealed in it.
Soon, there was an urging buzzing sound from the ascension platform. Luo Xingchen knew that he could not delay any longer, so he said goodbye to Qu Wuming and landed on the ascension platform.
Just after Luo Xingchen stepped onto the ascension platform, a bright white beam of light suddenly descended from the gloomy sky, shining directly on the ascension platform.
There was only a soft buzzing sound, and the beam of light, together with the ascension platform, disappeared in place, as if it had never appeared.
Qu Wuming looked at the position where the beam of light descended from the sky, and stood alone for a long time. Then he collected his mood and continued to set off, heading towards the direction of the ghost ring...
————
The Ghost Crying Plain is vast and boundless.
Almost everywhere there are strange-shaped stone forests, stretching to the sky without knowing where they end.
There are countless vines growing in the stone forest, climbing and growing in a disorderly manner. There are also some extremely tall trees that forcefully open up the stone forest beneath their feet, taking root and growing among the rocks, forming dense forests.
Here, you can often see springs spurting hot spring water. Some of the water is not very hot, and flows quietly among the strange rocks, flowing out of a small stream, and seeping back into the ground again at more than one place. Some are very violent, with high-temperature and high-pressure water gushing out from the springs and shooting straight into the sky. The highest ones can even reach several feet high, which is a spectacle.
The landforms near this extremely high-temperature spring will become very beautiful. The rocks where the spring is located are generally mainly yellow-brown, mixed with various colors such as red, brown, blue, yellow, etc. It seems that an immortal has overturned the palette here. No matter which angle you look at, it is the same. Each ingenious picture scroll is too beautiful to behold.
There are also many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that appear in the stone forest of the Ghost Crying Plains. Difficult social creatures like bloodthirsty magic bats are just one of the most common groups in the Ghost Crying Plains. In the Ghost Crying Plains, there are no less than ten kinds of creatures that feed on bloodthirsty magic bats.
After Qu Wuming arrived at Guimingyuan, he fled for less than an hour before he realized that something was unusual here. Not only do some strange insects, beasts, and birds that are not afraid of death often fly out of the stone forest and pounce on Qu Wuming. Some can even ignore the protective barrier Qu Wuming has set up with the power of his divine consciousness and rush to Qu Wuming's side.
In particular, some of the weird beetles are even more bizarre and extraordinary.
Once, in the distance, it looked like nothing more than a dark forest of strange rocks, no different from other strange rocks around it. Even if I scan it with the power of my spiritual consciousness, I can't find anything abnormal.
But when Qu Wuming got closer, a group of black beetles that were only as big as the belly of a thumb suddenly flew up from the strange rock and surrounded Qu Wuming in the blink of an eye.
The barrier set up by Qu Wuming's power of consciousness was in vain in front of these beetles. In the blink of an eye, it crawled all over Qu Wuming's body, wrapping him like a cocoon.
In just a few breaths, all of Qu Wuming's robes, hair and beard were devoured by those strange insects!
If it weren't for the fact that Qu Wuming's body was now comparable to a high-level magical weapon, these strange insects wouldn't be able to chew it for a while, and I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, there would be nothing left after being chewed by them.
Qu Wuming was startled by those strange insects. With a thought, Hongmeng Dark Thunder Fire surged out from every pore. In an instant, the strange insects lying on his body were burned to the point where they screamed and screamed. Many strange insects were there. After a moment, it was reduced to ashes, but there were still more strange insects roaring away from Qu Wuming's body, turning into a cloud of insects, finding a new stone forest and flying down.
When the Hongmeng Dark Thunder Fire dissipated from Qu Wuming's body, he was already completely naked.
Moreover, he was truly naked, his hair was shiny, and even his iconic beard had been gnawed clean.
The breeze blew by, and Qu Wuming felt a chill on his head and body. He raised his hand and touched it, and found that his face was smooth and clean.
"Fortunately, there is no one around." Qu Wuming muttered in his heart, recalling the appearance of the weird beetle just now with lingering fear. He was about to take out a new set of clothes from the storage ring and put them on when he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a foreign object in his mouth. He moved, and spat it out with a loud pop. Only then did he realize that it was actually a beetle like before. After being spat out, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew away with a buzzing sound.
"Bah! Bah!" Qu Wuming couldn't help feeling nauseous, and hurriedly checked his ears, nostrils, and posterior orifices. He was relieved when he saw that there were no other beetles.
"How fucking abominable!" Qu Wuming touched his head, which was now as bare as a duck egg, and couldn't help cursing, "When I was a monk, I was given eyebrows and a beard. That's good. What a bastard." , not even a hair was left for me!”
With a wave of his hand, Qu Wuming formed a water mirror and took a look at his face. His face couldn't help but twitch. After thinking for a moment, he took out a writing brush from the corner of the storage ring and dipped some ink on it. , facing the water mirror, carefully drew a pair of eyebrows on himself, looked around for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "This is pretty much it. No hair is fine, no beard is fine, this is If the eyebrows were gone, it would look really awkward.”
Just as he was about to put the brush back, Qu Wuming discovered that the storage ring was already covered with traces of being chewed. If the magic circle runes carved in the storage ring were further damaged, the entire storage space would be damaged. It will collapse.
Qu Wuming hurriedly changed into a new storage ring and poured all the contents into it. I couldn't help but have a new understanding of the beetle's gnawing ability - you must know that storage rings are generally made of extremely powerful metals, and even ordinary magic attacks at the peak of the void refining stage cannot easily destroy them. . And those unknown beetles almost chewed up the storage ring in a short period of time - if people from the Yuling Sect or the Demon Spirit Sect take these beetles back and raise them, they might be able to breed more. It’s hard to say about powerful spiritual insects.
Qu Wuming only learned from the reward from the Alchemist Sect that the soul-suppressing crystal seemed to be a light yellow crystal. It was completely transparent and looked very similar to citrine. But if you look carefully, you can see the soul-suppressing crystal. There will be one or several extremely thin and transparent filaments in the center of the soul crystal.
Depending on the volume of the soul-suppressing crystal, the amount and thickness of the filaments will be different. The larger the soul-suppressing crystal, the more filaments it contains.
The minimum size required for the soul-soothing crystal offered by the Alchemist Sect this time is that the length of the crystal is no less than one foot. The more and thicker the transparent filaments in the crystal, the better.
Qu Wuming had also learned from Luo Xingchen before that the soul-suppressing crystal was extremely effective in repairing the soul's injuries, and the main function was the transparent filaments in the crystal - they were actually made of A certain special liquid sealed in the crystal grows in the soul crystal for some reason, and will continue to increase as the crystal grows.
However, the growth of this soul-suppressing crystal is extremely slow. It is said that someone has studied that a single inch-long soul-suppressing crystal needs to grow in a specific environment for at least nearly ten thousand years.
Wouldn't it be possible to find the soul-suppressing crystal that is no shorter than one foot in a crystal mine that is tens of thousands of years old?
"Since you want to look for ore, let's just sink underground and travel!" Qu Wuming took out the "Falling Star" orb, turned it into a yellow light, instantly penetrated the rock under his feet, and went straight to the bottom of the Ghostly Stone Forest and drilled in...
