Chapter 21: The first battle of return
"Refining!"
Zhou Hao was sitting cross-legged on the lava lake. The sperm bead in front of him was suspended in the air by his magical power. Inside the sperm bead, you could see a fish. It was golden in color, covered with a layer of scales, and had seven fish on its back. There are eight sharp bone spurs. In addition, there are two silver-white saber teeth growing out of its mouth. They are long, narrow and sharp, and the entire appearance looks like a shark.
This is the essence bead of Yang Shark. It gathers all the essence of Yang Shark, has its thousand-year Taoism, and even has a divine soul contained in it. In other words, if the divine soul in the essence bead can continue to become stronger, one day it will A new Yang Shark was born again.
It can be said that the essence bead is the second life of the fairy beast! However, generally no one is stupid enough to take the essence beads and not refine them, so this is the reason why the fairy beast will self-destruct before dying. Do you want to let someone get your Taoism if you are killed?
Zhou Hao's palm erupted with a golden divine flame, which enveloped the essence beads and continued to be refined. This flame is the Taoist fire of the immortal family. Even an immortal with only a trace of immortal power can activate it. It has many uses, including refining elixirs and refining elixirs. Any medicine can be used, and even a strong person can use Dao fire to burn the sun, moon and stars to form a peerless formation.
At this moment, the essence bead was rolling and floating in the Dao fire, and the little Yang Shark inside it suddenly started to stir. Even Zhou Hao, who had forty or fifty years of experience in the mortal world, was shocked.
The little sun shark, which was emitting bright golden light, opened its teeth and swung its tail and roared repeatedly, and then the golden mist rolled above the essence bead. The mist actually formed a huge sun shark. Although it was not an entity, the roar it made was trembling. Entering the space deep in the earth veins, the originally calm lava lake began to boil and oscillate again.
A sudden change occurred, the lake surface rippled, and the lava surged into the air like a wave. At this time, Zhou Hao, who was basically out of surprise, took action.
"Your true body has been destroyed by me, what more trouble can you make with a semen bead?"
He patted the lake with his big hand, and a circle of blue light suddenly suppressed the lava lake. After a while, everything returned to its original state.
Zhou Hao stood up and looked at the huge sun shark formed by the golden mist. The latter continued to roar, and even opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow Zhou Hao.
But Zhou Hao didn't pay attention at all. The Dao fire sprayed out from his two palms became more intense, and the surface of the sperm bead was actually melting, which also caused the giant Yang Shark to disintegrate midway and turn into golden mist again.
"Disappear completely!"
At this moment, Zhou Hao was extremely indifferent, with a pair of eyes staring at the essence bead. He kept making seals with his hands, and the Tao fire continued to burn. Soon the essence bead completely melted, and the little Yang Shark inside also turned into pure The brilliance of the immortal power was absorbed by Zhou Hao's body.
The whole process is like an egg being broken, and the yolk liquid inside flows out and is drunk.
Then Zhou Hao quickly adjusted his breath and nourished his energy to stabilize himself. It took about three months before he refined all the absorbed Yang Shark Essence.
"Well, I feel that my body is really comfortable as never before. It seems that my cultivation has been promoted to a new level."
Looking around, Zhou Hao suddenly practiced his sword in the air. Everywhere he pointed his sword, sword energy filled the sky with fire. Now he could split the molten metal with just one sword strike, and he no longer needed to use the source of yin and yang to speed up his practice. Look. It seems that in just nearly twenty years, he has really gained experience and gradually become stronger.
In this way, the last three years were completely completed. The hell-like special training deep in the earth's veins finally came to an end. Yun Fang arrived as scheduled and brought Zhou Hao back to the bamboo house.
"Plop!"
The two masters and apprentices flew out of the small blue lake. The red fish in the lake were frightened and swam into the lake. It was early in the morning, the twelve silver-white divine moons hung high in the sky, and the sky was still dim.
Whenever Zhou Hao sees the twelve moons in the sky, he can't help but sigh at the magic of creation, and at the same time he becomes even more curious about the different world of Fairyland.
Yun Fang told him before that the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless. This is just the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm, one of the nine Immortal Realms. Because there are ten suns and twelve moons hovering in the central sky of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm, so That’s why this fairyland got its name.
The reason why you can see the wonders of ten days and twelve months in the small fairy land of Yunmiao Immortal Palace is because this small world represents the sun, moon and heaven behind it.
The Immortal Palaces are all the fiefdoms of one Immortal King. They exist to protect the territory of the starry sky where the Immortal King is located, and the Immortal King has to obey the arrangements of Tiandu. After all, the strongest person in the Immortal Domain is still the one who stands at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao. An unparalleled figure - the Immortal Lord. A figure of this level can directly destroy galaxies all over the sky with one strike. His powerful magical power is completely beyond imagination. Even Yun Fang cannot describe the power, and Zhou Hao has no way of knowing.
In short, the hub of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm is the Sun and Moon Heavenly Capital. It sits in the center of this Immortal Realm. The distance from the Yunmiao Immortal Palace is a huge astronomical figure. Not to mention the Golden Immortal, even the masters of the Immortal cannot directly Flying over will take a long time, unless a teleportation array is used.
Shaking his head, Zhou Hao stopped looking at the moon in the sky. After he and his master walked into the bamboo house, Yun Fang asked him how he had been practicing in the past twenty years.
"What? You got a Yang Shark Essence Bead? And you refined it?" Yun Fang's beard was blowing, he had white hair and a childlike face, and a pair of glowing eyes.
"Yeah, but the disciple really lost all his strength and almost died there!" Zhou Hao said bitterly.
"Disciple, you really did not disappoint me. I think back then your senior brother Yu Yang was such a genius. He refined an entire fire heart lotus petal at a young age to complete the foundation building, but you were able to obtain a single essence bead. , or the sperm bead of the giant Yang Shark born in the magma. I am afraid that if this matter spreads, it will definitely make the elders of other immortal temples vomit blood." Yun Fang chuckled, he was like a child at this time Yes, looking at Zhou Hao is like looking at a baby.
And Zhou Hao knew that this master was in pain. The genius disciple who had taught him for hundreds of years was killed in one day. This was a pain that no one could bear. However, God seemed to take pity on him and finally gave him another disciple who could make him proud. 's apprentice.
"By the way, Master, I brought back the Nine-petal Fire Heart Lotus..."
"What did you say?"
Before Zhou Hao could finish speaking, Yun Fang's pupils shrank in surprise, and his big mouth could not be closed at all, as if he was petrified.
Zhou Hao calmly took out the palm-sized red lotus from his arms. At this time, the red lotus was still a red bud.
"Nine-petal Fire Heart Lotus? How could you catch it?" Yun Fang was puzzled.
"It's a long story. A large part of the credit for me getting the Yang Shark Essence Pearl is because of her..." Zhou Hao said eloquently.
"So that's it. I didn't expect that the Nine-petal Fire Heart Lotus could actually transform into a human form in the past hundred years, but it really surprised me that it has paid so much for you. It seems that you and the Nine-petal Fire Heart Lotus have a lot of connection. A big bond, the word "karma" is the most wonderful. In the future, you must cultivate and protect this elixir well, and must not let others know about it, do you understand?" Yun Fang frowned and said.
"I'll be careful!" Zhou Hao nodded.
"Let's do this. I have a fire essence pool dedicated to warming and cultivating fire immortals. This nine-petal fire heart lotus will definitely be of great use to you in the future. You should cultivate it carefully now."
Yun Fang stretched out his hand and took out a square pool. The fire liquid was flowing inside, and the hot breath hit his face. Zhou Hao gently put the nine-petal fire heart lotus into the pool, and then saw the red bud move. A trace of golden mist rises and dissipates from the tip of the bud.
"It seems that it has really sacrificed a lot. It has damaged its origin, and it will take at least a thousand years to recover as before." Yun Fang shook his head.
Soon, the twelve divine moons were replaced by ten fiery red suns, and the Yunmiao Immortal Palace ushered in a new day.
"I haven't come out to see anyone in twenty years!"
Zhou Hao wields a sword in the sky, dressed in white clothes that beat the snow. His clothes are fluttering in the breeze, and there is an inexplicable excitement on his lips that cannot be concealed.
On the platform of the square, blue bricks and stones paved a wide area of 1,000 meters, and behind it was the magnificent Yunmiao Immortal Palace.
At the Sword Training Square, everyone was still wearing white clothes and dancing swords, and everyone was filled with youthful atmosphere, even though these disciples, except Zhou Hao, were all over a hundred years old.
"Oh my, isn't this Junior Brother Zhou, the first disciple of Elder Yunfang? What kind of wind blew you here? I guess the wind must be very strong!" Zhou Hao was practicing his sword when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. sounded.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Cheng. Zhou Hao has missed his welcome. I hope Senior Brother can forgive me!"
Turning to look at Cheng Yan with a smirk on his face, Zhou Hao held his hands in a smile. Twenty years ago, it was this man who bullied him for being weak and ostracized him at will. Once, he even forced Zhou Hao, who was in the state of enlightenment, to He fought back, which left a deep impression on him!
"Hey, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and my little mouth has become sweeter. It's just that you deserve to be Yun Fang's apprentice. Since you were caught by your senior brother, you have to learn from each other, right?" Cheng Yan still didn't put Zhou Hao on the list. His eyes and words were full of provocation.
In fact, Yu Nan, Cheng Yan and the other four people originally wanted to take care of Zhou Hao during a Yunmiao demon elimination mission, but they never expected that Zhou Hao would disappear the next day, and he had not appeared in their sight for twenty years. In the sight of Yun Fang, this completely ruined the plan, and even made Yu Nan almost kill Yun Fang on the fairy mountain.
Today, Cheng Yan almost burst out laughing when he saw his long-lost "old friend" appear. Since Yu Nan was always late for sword practice, Cheng Yan wanted to look handsome in front of the goddess. The best way was to defeat Zhou Haorang. The goddess saw.
"Zhou Hao, you're back? Oh, I miss you so much. You've been practicing hard all these years, haven't you?"
At this time, a chubby disciple walked up to the two of them. He had a naive smile, his facial features were squeezed together, and his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.
"Senior Brother Cao, I miss you too. I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still blessed!" Zhou Hao was naturally happy when he saw Cao Shuang coming. He pointed at Cao Shuang's belly and smiled.
"Cao...Cao Shuang, you are here too."
Seeing Fatty Cao coming, Cheng Yan couldn't stand it at that moment. He was weeping in his heart. How come there is this damn fat guy everywhere, but the labor and management are afraid of him to death.
"Just now, were you going to compete with my buddy?" Cao Shuang exchanged a few words with Zhou Hao before turning his attention to Cheng Yan.
Although Cheng Yan was sweating on the side of his face, thinking that he could not make a fool of himself in front of the goddess who was about to come here, he had the courage to meet Cao Shuang's small eyes.
"Senior Brother Cao, I just want to discuss the meaning of swordsmanship with Junior Brother Zhou. You won't object to this, right?" Cheng Yan said boldly.
"That's really interesting. Then I'd like to discuss it with you. What do you think?" Cao Shuang asked with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, Senior Brother Cao, since Senior Brother Cheng said he wants to compete with me because he thinks highly of me, Zhou, it's appropriate for Senior Brother to give Junior Brother some pointers!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao said this.
Cao Shuang looked at Zhou Hao, and he understood from the latter's smile. It turned out that his brother wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
"Junior brother, I don't trust you like this. As a senior brother, you are an old disciple with 400 years of Taoism, but your actions are neither light nor heavy. I feel so ashamed to hurt you!" Cao Shuang cooperated. road.
Although Cheng Yan looked down on Zhou Hao even more when he heard this, he was very angry at Cao Shuang's sarcasm. However, what made him angry the most was that he couldn't even express his anger.
"So, Junior Brother Zhou agreed to compete?" Cheng Yan looked at Zhou Hao and asked.
"Of course!" Zhou Hao nodded.
After saying that, the two people set up their formation, and the surrounding disciples watched the battle one after another, even forgetting to practice sword practice.
"Brother, you spar with Senior Brother Cheng first, and then I will spar with him. You must not be merciful. Senior Brother Cheng is giving you guidance. Just show your true skills. Do you understand?" Cao Shuang directed at Zhou in the field. Hao shouted.
Obviously this was meant for Cheng Yan. At this moment, Cheng Yan's head was full of black lines. He thought to himself: You damn fat guy, I can't deal with you. Could it be that I can't deal with Zhou Hao, the new rookie? Don't think that I will show mercy to Zhou Hao if you call me that. Yu Nan will naturally protect me when he comes. By then, no matter how badly Zhou Hao is beaten, you won't be able to hurt me, but you still compete with me. Labor and management are too lazy to offend you!
