12dz 100. Don't you want to live too long?
100. Don't you want to live too long?
Xu Yan observed carefully and saw that Yan Qiao and his avatar had been busy for a long time, but not a single flame appeared in the cauldron. Instead, wisps of black smoke gradually began to rise.
The smoke did not dissipate, but instead rose and swirled around the cauldron, circulating repeatedly.
Even through the screen, you could feel the eeriness and unease of the scene.
Recalling the tornado-like yin energy from before, Xu Yan immediately had several guesses about what the black smoke actually was.
Rather than refining something, it's more accurate to say that the man surnamed Yan was performing some kind of evil ritual!
That's against all reason and morality!
In the modern world, it's just an excuse that it's against the natural order, but here, it can truly bring about a calamity.
As the ceremony reached its climax, the clouds of calamity grew ever thicker.
Although Xu Yan was not under the cloud of calamity, he could still feel the heavy sense of oppression.
The power of heaven and earth can be seen from this.
Soon after, the ceremony reached its most crucial moment, and the black gas emanating from the cauldron suddenly erupted, becoming almost tangible!
At that very moment, a flash of lightning appeared in the tribulation clouds, and the tribulation lightning that had been brewing for a long time suddenly struck down.
Situ Yuan shouted loudly, and every Blood Demon Cult member desperately stabilized the array nodes. The originally faint array membrane became thicker at a visible speed, even blocking the view.
boom!
As the tribulation lightning struck, the array membrane trembled violently, and the electric light spread like water, flowing down the array membrane and into the ground. A thin line of tribulation lightning passed through the light membrane and fell towards the cauldron, but it split in two just before it hit the cauldron. One half struck the cauldron, and the other half struck Yan Qiao's avatar!
The gushing black gas seemed startled and instantly retreated into the cauldron.
The avatar neither dodged nor avoided the tribulation lightning, but instead withstood it head-on.
Xu Yan was speechless. Good heavens, the purpose of this formation is actually to weaken the tribulation lightning?
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. It's hard to say when cultivators are at a low level, but once their cultivation reaches a certain level, they can't avoid the tribulation of lightning.
Must we tough it out? No cheating or shirking responsibility?
Don't be ridiculous. Even if the laws of Heaven clearly stipulate it, there are definitely those who think they can't survive the tribulation and will rack their brains to come up with unscrupulous tricks.
If you don't get results once or twice, if you don't achieve anything three or five times, what about thirty or fifty times? Or three or five hundred times?
The meaning of a book becomes clear after reading it a hundred times. The cultivation world has an unknown history of countless years. Generations of cultivators have gradually accumulated knowledge and skills, and they must have been able to come up with some ways to resist the tribulation of lightning.
Not to mention, there are sects like the Shenxiao Sect that specialize in studying thunder magic.
I was careless, I was careless. Habitual thinking can kill you...wait?
He had always wanted to give Yan Qiao a hard time, but regrettably gave up due to his lack of ability. Now that there was a calamity above, could he take advantage of it?
Even if we can't hurt the guy surnamed Yan, destroying one of his avatars would be fine!
Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore... Actually, I didn't even want to suppress it. On the contrary, I was filled with restless energy, like a couple separated by distance who were about to see their long-lost wife.
There's a little anecdote about this.
A while ago, the Special Security Bureau gave Xu Yan several pieces of advice during a supply delivery. The most important one was that he must play it safe and not make any moves until he had absolute strength.
Xu Yan knew that the Special Security Bureau's suggestion made sense, but the thought of those demonic bastards from the Blood Demon Cult made him grit his teeth in hatred, and mentioning Yan Qiao made him even angrier.
But Master Cheng's advice to him was completely the opposite: Sow good seeds and reap bad results. Whether you are patient or aggressive, it is your own path. Just follow your heart.
I didn't offer any suggestions, yet it seems like I said everything.
The difference is obvious when comparing the two.
The Special Security Bureau considers issues purely from a profit-driven perspective, a purely worldly way of thinking. While it's not entirely wrong, it's not always appropriate.
Master Cheng is different; he gives advice from the perspective of a cultivator. Right or wrong is not important; what matters is that one's mind is clear!
Although mindset and cultivation are two different concepts, they influence each other. Without a clear and enlightened mind, how can one make great progress in cultivation?
Although it is still a bit early for Xu Yan to talk about his heart, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. Is it a bad thing to lay a foundation early?
The only thing that gave Master Cheng a headache was that Xu Yan was too audacious. It was one thing to provoke Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it was another to try to get Golden Core cultivators, but to set his sights on Nascent Soul cultivators was just too terrifying.
Even though they were separated by a world, the Taoist priest couldn't feel at ease.
He didn't have many old friends in the mortal world, and usually only had more contact with Li Er and Zhang San. He took the opportunity to mention it casually, but found that although the two were worried about Xu Yan's safety, that was all. This made the old Taoist priest very puzzled.
That's a Nascent Soul cultivator!
It wasn't until I stayed there longer that I gradually came to understand that people in the modern world respect strength and ability, but they don't blindly believe in them. Although there are differences in rank between people, there is no distinction between noble and lowly, which is completely different from the cultivation world!
Let's talk about Xu Yan again.
After making up his mind, he immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a note, briefly explaining his current situation and requesting that the Special Security Bureau prepare to receive the personnel. He also asked if it would be convenient to send another batch of powerful equipment.
Once written, it is packaged and immediately sent back to the real world.
The moment the portal opened, Yan Qiao suddenly looked up and glanced in the direction of the cave.
He sensed the missing Blood Demon Sword, though only faintly, but it was definitely not an illusion.
If I weren't so busy, I would definitely go and check it out right away.
At the same time, the Blood Demon Sword, which had been sitting in the rented room, suddenly moved and fell off the cabinet with a clatter, startling Li Er.
He assumed the sword hadn't been placed properly and didn't think much of it. He took out the note and scanned it, then his expression changed drastically: What's going on now? Why is this kid so troublesome?
Li Er immediately dialed Director Zou's number and explained the situation.
Upon receiving the news, Director Zou was in a real bind and immediately called Zhang San.
Zhang and the other two were dumbfounded. It had to be a single-soldier weapon, and it had to be powerful enough.
"Are you kidding me? That's a magic array that can withstand heavenly tribulations! Can a single weapon break through it? Even the US's Mother of All Bombs couldn't, right? Unless they use tactical mushroom bombs!"
Mushroom bombs are definitely no problem, but can you just take them out and use them casually?
Not to mention that the higher-ups would never agree, even if they did, the application process wouldn't be completed in a short time. By the time the equipment arrives, it will be too late.
Director Zou then remembered that he had forgotten about the magic array and quickly added the explanation.
Zhang San's expression finally softened, but he still had a terrible headache: Was this some kind of elaborate scheme to get an electromagnetic cannon?
There are powerful weapons, but even with special measures and immediate mobilization, there simply isn't enough time...
"Send over everything that can be delivered in time, quickly!" Director Zou said.
What could he do? He was helpless too!
Xu Yan is indeed capable; in such a short time, he has brought back a large batch of jade manuals, providing the laboratory with ample experimental materials.
But their ability to cause trouble is also quite high. Why not just stay hidden? Why provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Do you think you have too long a life?
