one year later.
A deep black sea.
On a small island covered with purple-black rocks, several foreign monks in strange clothes gathered.
The realms of these monks are not weak. The lowest ones are in the early stage of Yuanying. Among them are two late-stage great monks and two strong men from the Black Tower who are almost the same in appearance and stature.
At this moment, everyone was whispering softly in a light blue ban.
"Priest priest, we have been waiting here for half a year. Why is there no sign of the crack erupting?" An old man wearing a golden dragon and yellow robe gently stroked his white beard and looked at the man sitting diagonally opposite. The slovenly Taoist priest who was wearing half a blue robe spoke.
"Yes. Taoist Priest, did you miscalculate the time?" One of the strong men yelled, his voice slightly thick and rich.
"Sixth Prince, you are not wrong. The old Taoist has been practicing in this sea area for many years. This crack has erupted once in the past twenty years. After each eruption, the next eruption time will be one year earlier.
There was an interval of eleven years between the last outbreak, and now it is estimated that this time it will erupt in about ten years, probably within these two months. "The sloppy Taoist priest, who was called the Taoist Priest, pinched his fingers and muttered, and answered calmly as if he had everything under control.
"That's what the Taoist Master said when I first came here. It's been half a year and it's still the same thing." A woman in purple clothes next to her said with a smile.
"Yes, we are all impatient." Another strong man in black armor said again.
"As long as the fairy is here, I am willing to stay on this island." There was a man in green clothes next to him, and he took over the words with a smile.
"Hehe~~ Sect Master Su's trip to the Meteor Dragon Sea is really worth it! Not only can you get spiritual fruits, but you can also hug a beauty back! Tsk~" The strong man in black armor chuckled and said with envy in his eyes.
"King King Kong is joking! Once this is done, you two brothers will benefit the most, and you might even be able to directly advance to the later stages!" The man in green, known as Sect Leader Su, slightly handed over his hand.
"Haha! I hope this ashes is really as magical as you said, and it won't be in vain for us two brothers to blow the sea breeze here for several years." Hearing the sound, King Kong laughed immediately, and the strong man in the black tower next to him also cracked open. Mouthed.
These brothers are twins, one is called Chi King Kong, and the other is called Zha King Kong. They practice body refining and have extremely powerful golden scales. They have been trapped in the peak state of the middle Nascent Soul for a long time and have been unable to break through. Being invited to pick the legendary Ash Fruit this time was also a sign of great expectations.
"Don't worry, King Kong. The Ash Fruit is produced by absorbing the chaos of heaven and earth, and it is the most powerful for improving the body. When the two of you advance to the late stage at the same time, the world will not let you run rampant." The man known as the Sixth Prince The old man in golden robe said.
"The prince is joking. I heard that the ash fruit can be used as the main medicine of the Realm Breaking Pill. When the prince enters the realm of transformation, you will truly be unscrupulous in this Xihai." Zha Kingang next to him complimented.
"Haha!" The Sixth Prince felt very happy when he heard this, because the anxiety of waiting disappeared.
"By the way, Priest Priest, I asked you before how many ash fruits will be mature, but you have been unwilling to answer. Now can you tell the truth to our brothers?" Chi Jingang asked as if he remembered something.
When several people nearby heard this question, they also looked at the sloppy Taoist with expectation.
"I don't mean to hide it from you, it's just that this fruit can only mature after being tempered by the storm. It's difficult to determine the specific number of old Taoist seeds." The Taoist priest replied.
"Then...if there are only three or two, how do we divide them?" Chi Jingang asked again.
The other people all looked uneasy and looked at the organizers of this operation, the Taoist priest and the Sixth Prince.
"Don't worry, although the Ash Fruit is one plant, it can be divided into three branches every hundred years. One tree is divided into three branches. Two hundred years later, it is divided into nine branches. There are nine branches in total. The fruit will not mature until the third hundred years. This storm baptism is exactly what it is. of maturity.”
"That's very good!" Sect Master Su nodded.
Hearing the sound, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous discussion was that each person would get one piece, and the rest would go to the two organizers. If there were not enough points, it would be a bit tricky.
The priest and the Sixth Prince were great monks and leaders, so they naturally had priority. Now that they knew there were nine, everyone immediately felt at ease.
"Then follow the plan. Once the storm comes, we will take action after the demon king leaves..." said the Sixth Prince.
Everyone nodded and remained silent. Only Sect Leader Su continued to whisper beside the purple-clothed woman, sometimes making her tremble and giggle.
. .
Seven days later.
A gust of sea breeze blew from far away.
The sea began to slowly rise and fall. At first, there were only ripples, but gradually they turned into waves. The waves became bigger and bigger, and in a short while, people were taller. By the time they reached the island, they were already three feet tall!
"Boom!" Huge waves roared and crashed into the island.
"The storm is coming!" The priest who had been lying down sensed the changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and flew up directly, looking to the southeast.
And everyone stood up at the same time and followed his gaze.
But in the far distance, the sky was already dark, as if there was a huge black curtain surrounding the sea area.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the waves are getting higher and higher, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is getting more and more violent, and everyone's faces are getting more and more serious.
In the center of the storm, a long and narrow black area was like a huge crack across the sky. Thousands of lightnings flashed out in all directions like electric dragons coming out of their holes.
The wind roared, rolling up huge waves that connected to the sky and the earth, and the lightning was like a dragon, diving into the abyss along the water.
But in an instant, the entire sea area had turned into a sea of thunder and lightning.
As time passed, the storm continued to expand and spread in all directions.
In just one stick of incense, it has spread hundreds of miles.
During this time, traces of cold air leaked out from time to time, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell, and there were also frightening space cracks that appeared and disappeared quietly.
The sea is boiling, the sky is roaring, lightning is raging, the wind is violent, the cold is overwhelming, the space is cracked...the sky seems to be collapsing!
And at the edge of the storm, a continuous island also trembled under the violent impact of the waves!
"Boom -" There was a loud noise, and a undulating hill on the island stood up!
It turned out to be a giant beast of a thousand feet!
The giant beast is covered in green and black, with a head like a ferocious crocodile, a body like a dragon, and bronze mirror-like scales all over its body glowing with a cold light. It is an eighth-level sea monster king crocodile dragon.
It sensed the power of heaven and earth, looked at the approaching storm, and finally showed a hint of timidity in its eyes. Then it lowered its head and looked at a small tree in front of it that looked like a dragon's claw. It was as satisfied as if it were looking at its own child. It's reluctance,
"Boom - boom -" bursts of thunder sounded!
It trembled, swung its tail and quietly dived into the water, then fled away.
