Do not die

Lian Ziling realized belatedly that ever since "Qihuangzi" showed strange signs in the cave, all his attention had been attracted to this person.

During the changes in the rabbit's rise and the falcon's fall, when his soul power was too much consumed and his state was at a low point, several alchemy practitioners practicing in other caves had already taken this opportunity to come to his side.

Under normal circumstances, he would certainly not have been able to get close to these people so easily.

But his initiative to retreat eliminated the last distance between the two parties, and there was an intimate chest-to-back relationship.

If these "Qihuangmen" formed pills only used various conventional attacks, he would not be afraid even if their cultivation strength was several levels higher than what they are now. As long as he slowed down a little, he could even seize the opportunity to catch them all.

But they didn't engage in conventional attacks with him. They seized the only opportunity to get close and blew themselves up without hesitation.

Two are in the early stage of pill formation, two are in the middle stage of pill formation, and one is in the late stage of pill formation...

The five people spent all their life's accumulation, turning it into the most violent force impact and releasing it in an instant, most of which was blasted into the unsuspecting Lian Ziling's body.

Lian Ziling has only entered the Nascent Soul realm for the first time, not to mention that his body is not good at body training.

When these five self-destructions exploded behind him one after another, the violent force impact not only caused the Qi around him to become turbulent and chaotic, but also cracks appeared centered on the contact surface of his back.

Under the cracked skin, there was not fuzzy flesh and blood, but ash powder.

If you look closely at the cracked skin, you can see the unique texture of wood fibers.

The center of its back, which was also the center of the five self-destruction impacts, suffered the most damage, with an obvious dent that could fit several fists into.

However, the further it spreads around, the shallower the traces of damage become.

By the time the arms and legs were reached, the shallow cracks were no longer visible.

What's even more frightening is that as soon as the injury occurred, the majestic vitality hidden deep in his body and all over his body concentrated on his back like moths rushing to the flame.

The largest damage in the center of his back cannot be seen for the time being. Close to the limbs, it is also the location with the smallest damage. The tiny cracks are being closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The exposed broken wood fibers seemed to be alive. They were tightly twisted together and became a complete body again. Then they "embraced" each other, and the cracks and injuries naturally disappeared without a trace.

If there were no other changes, as long as Lian Ziling was given some time to recuperate, the damage caused by the self-destruction of the five alchemy masters Qiaoji could be completely eliminated by him, and the body's condition would be restored to the original state.

It's a pity that "Qihuangzi" didn't give him this time.

Just when his soul and body were at their lowest point, "Qihuangzi" hugged him tightly from the front.

He blew himself up brazenly with a sense of determination.

Just when the impact of the self-destruction rushed into his body, Lian Ziling's extremely tense mood eased slightly.

Because he suddenly discovered that the power of "Qihuangzi"'s self-destruction was much weaker than he expected.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Isn't this 'Qihuangzi' a parallel importer? Is he actually not as powerful as he appears?"

But soon, he knew that he had settled down too early!

Just when the violent force brought about by the self-destruction of "Qihuangzi" forced his body's defenses away, masses of extremely condensed power penetrated deep into his body along with the impact of his self-destruction, and quickly spread throughout his body.

His body reacted immediately, trying to intercept and eliminate these invading strange forces.

But at the next moment, these powers exploded in his body. The direct damage caused by these explosions was secondary. The real fatal part was that the shock waves of the explosion were actually swords with unparalleled sharpness and substance. gas.

"Second self-destruction?!"

Only then did Lian Ziling realize the determination and madness of "Qi Huangzi". Someone actually made a fuss about the self-destruction that only occurred once in a lifetime, just to maximize the lethality of the self-destruction!

Lian Ziling found helplessly that the dense and countless sword energy formed a destructive storm within his body.

And his body, blown by the sword energy storm, could no longer hold on and collapsed completely.

"madman!"

…

The self-destruction of the six pill formations, including "Qi Huangzi", poured most of their power into Lian Ziling's body.

But even a small amount of leaked power eventually formed the power to completely destroy this spiritual place.

All man-made objects in the spiritual land instantly turned into powder, and then the formation covering the spiritual land here was completely destroyed.

The impact of power that was originally attenuated received new support due to the destruction of the formation, and the majestic power bombarded the solid rock surrounding the spiritual land.

"boom!"

The huge impact spread, and a column of water shot into the sky carrying rock fragments brought out from the depths of the seabed.

When the impact force was exhausted, the water column soared into the sky and fell in all directions, like a giant jellyfish.

The seabed, where the hidden spiritual land was originally located, has long since lost sight of its original appearance and turned into a basin.

The solid rock surrounding this spiritual place has disappeared, and turbid seawater has filled every corner.

The self-contained spiritual space that was originally hidden deep under the sea is no longer visible and has become an inseparable part of Wumeng Sea.

As the aftermath of the impact continued to become smaller, the turbid and turbulent sea gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, in a pile of remaining ashes, a red light suddenly flashed.

A red crystal slowly floated up from the remaining ashes.

As the red light flickered, cracks emerged from the red crystal.

Deep in this red crystal, there is a small figure that looks the same as Lian Ziling.

The next moment, Lian Ziling, who was hidden deep in the crystal, opened his eyes and woke up. The red crystal, which was already cracked everywhere, disintegrated with a crisp sound.

Those crystal fragments disintegrated layer by layer and turned into nothingness.

Just when the red crystal disintegrated and the surrounding sea water was about to submerge the small Lian Ziling, another cyan light emerged, turning into a thin layer of gauze and covering the body surface of the small Lian Ziling.

Lian Ziling, who was in an even weaker state, took one final unwilling look at the sea area and quickly left the place.

Although this spiritual place was completely destroyed, "Qihuangzi"'s attempt to completely erase the traces of time in this area was ultimately stopped by him.

He really wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the traces of time here that "Qihuangzi" wanted to protect even at the risk of his own life.

But unfortunately, the current situation does not allow it.

The physical body was destroyed, and only the Nascent Soul remained, and its condition was extremely bad.

Now, he urgently needs to find a suitable physical body to live in, otherwise, the Nascent Soul clone that he split off at a great cost will be completely annihilated.

This is something he cannot accept under any circumstances.

Lian Ziling Yuanying, who was quickly moving away, once again thought of "Qihuangzi" after his self-destruction. His lips that had been separated from his body opened and closed gently: "Let's die together!"

"What hatred, what resentment!"

Lian Ziling, who came with full murderous intent, felt a little aggrieved for no reason at this moment.

…

And just when "Qihuangzi" self-destructed and completely disintegrated Lian Ziling's body, leaving only a Nascent Soul lingering on.

In another outer land called "Hongze Wasteland", a fleeing figure spit out a bloody sword without warning, and the energy around the body weakened and became disordered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its figure, which had been flying at extremely high speeds, suddenly became like a heavy piece of iron, hitting the boundless earth.

He didn't hit it after all.

A big hand transformed from spiritual energy caught him in its palm before he came into close contact with the earth.

"Elder Brother" looked at Lian Ziling with a depressed look, concerned and confused.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

His mind was no longer here, and he wished he could leave everything here immediately and rush to the Lianzi Mausoleum in the "Juye Wilderness". He said with a sad expression:

"It should be that some hidden dangers after the forced breakthrough took this opportunity to explode together."

"Eldest Brother" nodded slowly, thoughtfully.

After the four of them left the "Xingxiu Tianchi", they started to attack the "Eight Wastelands in the Outer Territory" according to their division of labor.

He, the "senior brother", and Lian Ziling, the "third junior brother", acted together and were mainly responsible for the Lihen Cult and other difficult problems.

The two female cultivators, "Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister", are responsible for organizing the Dan Jie of the Xingxiu Palace to take over the "Eight Wastelands of the Outer Lands" again.

Relatively speaking, the tasks of the two female nuns were much easier than them.

During this period, the two of them have chewed a lot of "hard bones."

He also thought that Lian Ziling's breakthrough to Yuanying was not a matter of course, but the result of forced breakthrough.

Thinking about this, "Elder Brother" nodded slowly, thinking he understood.

He said to Lian Ziling: "Then let's postpone our next actions and go back to Xingxiu Sea to rest for a while."

"Yeah." Lian Ziling nodded lightly.

But in my heart, I was racking my brains and thinking: "What kind of hatred and resentment is this!"

…

Just when "Qihuangzi" and others blew themselves up and razed the "Qihuangmen" nest to the ground, completely destroying Lian Ziling's physical body, Meng Zhouze had just finished his first retreat in the new year.

[Cultivation progress +300, eight levels of elixir formation 4025/10,000;

The true picture of Hanhai Mingyue +10,800, Grandmaster 03,200/320,000. 】

This retreat was of great significance to Meng Zhou.

"The True Picture of the Bright Moon in the Vast Sea" completed the accumulation of the master level during this retreat. As new insights and experiences continued to pour into his heart, his mastery of this practice method also advanced to the master level.

Regarding the "emotional" battle that took place in Wumenghai, he just watched silently and did not make any intervention.

Because of the limitations of the third-level high-grade Tai Sui body itself, and because Meng Zhou's own cultivation level is only at the eighth level of elixir formation, using the essence and blood of his heart to transform Tai Sui's body must also be subject to this level of restrictions. This will happen after self-destruction. At this time, it will be exposed that "Qihuangzi"'s cultivation level is "not worthy of the name".

In order to solve this problem, Meng Zhou specially prepared fifty drops of the third-grade high-grade Green Lotus Sword Marrow for "Qihuangzi" to fill the gap in "Qihuangzi's" strength.

And it was the sword energy storm formed by these fifty drops of Qinglian sword marrow that completely destroyed Lian Ziling's physical body.

The other one is the white light that "Qihuangzi" used when Lian Ziling first entered the cave.

Because Lian Ziling already knew that "Qihuangzi" had mastered a method of violently erasing the traces of time in a certain area.

Therefore, when he saw the white light that slightly revealed some traces of time, Lian Ziling preconceived the idea that "Qihuangzi" was going to erase the traces of time in the spiritual land.

But in fact, that ball of white light does not have such ability.

That's a scam.

The purpose was to consume Lian Ziling's soul power as much as possible.

Lian Ziling, who came with great momentum, ended up leaving in such a disgrace, not only due to Meng Zhou's preparation, but also due to the wonderful cooperation of "Qi Huangzi" and several other pill formations, and the timing was just right.

Meng Zhou was naturally very satisfied with the result.

This was better than he expected.

In other words, the performance of Lian Ziling, the Nascent Soul, was worse than Meng Zhou expected.

However, when he "saw" Lian Ziling with only a mutilated Nascent Soul wandering away in embarrassment, Meng Zhou felt regretful in his heart.

"If the Qinglian Sword Marrow I gave to 'Qi Huangzi' was not fifty drops, but one hundred or even two hundred drops, would the situation be better? Would it be possible to destroy the Nascent Soul of Lian Ziling together?"

At the beginning, the reason why Meng Zhou set the number of Qinglian Sword Marrow at fifty drops was because the number of these Qinglian Sword Marrow matched with the "Qihuangzi" itself, and the energy that burst out was the same as that of "Qihuangzi" in forming the elixir. The strength between him and Nascent Soul just matched.

If he really gave "Qihuangzi" a hundred or even two hundred drops of the Green Lotus Sword Marrow, and exploded at the moment "Qihuangzi" self-destructed, the power would overflow.

He did not forget that the core purpose of his arrangement of this scene was always to give "Qihuangzi" and "Qihuangmen" a reasonable reason to appear and exit, not to bury Lianzi in the mausoleum.

Not to mention whether Lianzi Mausoleum can be buried in this way, it is possible, there are still people in Xingxiu Palace.

However, when Meng Zhou carefully reviewed the image of Lian Ziling sent back by "Qihuangzi" before its self-destruction many times, the small regret in Meng Zhou's heart that he was not buried with Lian Ziling disappeared again.

He stared at Lian Ziling's wounds that had been "scorched" by successive self-destructions. The more he looked at them, the more he saw that they didn't look like the wounds that a normal flesh and blood body should have.

Especially the broken wood fibers exposed at the crack made him full of doubts.

"Could it be that after the monk breaks through the Nascent Soul, his flesh and blood body will change in the direction of non-flesh and blood?" Meng Zhou speculated in his mind.

This seems to make some sense.

There are many methods of body refining, but don’t they tend to transform the flesh and blood body into a non-flesh and blood body?

Flesh and gold turned into iron, flesh and blood turned into stone, flesh and blood turned into water...

In this case, there is no problem in turning flesh and blood into wood.

He also saw Lian Ziling's terrifying self-healing ability. Perhaps this was the special advantage of turning flesh and blood into a wooden state.

However, although Meng Zhou found a reasonable reason for Lian Ziling's physical abnormality, he still thought of his Linglian clone.

"Is this also a clone?" (End of Chapter)
