Do not die

During the period when Meng Zhou was in seclusion to break through, there were more than these two major events that happened in the outer domain.

Ever since the golden armored spirit insect successfully passed the tribulation, the eight fourth-level evil places have not stopped.

The tribulation clouds in the sky have almost never really dissipated.

The tribulation of the true spirit and the tribulation of the Yuanying are really one after another.

Those great monsters at the peak level of the third level and the cultivators who have reached the peak of the Jindan level, one by one, are like following the fashion. They don’t care whether they are qualified or not. They will trigger the tribulation without hesitation, for fear of being a step late.

The consequence of this is that the failure rate of both the great monsters and the cultivators is surprisingly high.

More than half of the people who break through the tribulation can’t even withstand the first wave of the tribulation, which is equivalent to the first nine tribulations of the "appetizer".

Those who are lucky can barely keep half of their lives, while those who are unlucky will be directly turned into ashes under the tribulation.

But even so, even knowing such a horrible loss rate, those great monsters at the peak of the third level and the cultivators at the peak of the Jindan level did not hesitate at all, and they rushed forward one after another.

From the perspective of the bystander, it really felt like they were all rushing to the guillotine.

But after a little thought, Meng Zhou understood.

Whether it was the great monsters at the peak of the third level or the cultivators at the peak of the Jindan level, they were all at the top in the original Outer Domain Eight Wastelands.

The firm and unyielding desire to seek the truth is the basic quality of this group.

Moreover, such an achievement cannot be achieved in a day or two, or a year or two.

It can even be said that they had already stood at the top of the Outer Domain Eight Wastelands decades ago, or even one or two hundred years ago.

Some of the "elders" with outstanding talents may have stayed in this position for a longer time, and had reached this step as early as two or three hundred years ago.

In the eyes of those middle and low-level cultivators whose entire life span could not reach two or three hundred years, they could only envy and admire this.

This is a height that they can never reach even if they stand on tiptoe in their lifetime, and this is a level that they dare not even dream of.

But from the perspective of these parties, no one will really enjoy this state.

Meng Zhou put himself in their shoes and thought that in this state, let alone two or three hundred years, he could not bear even two or three years.

Two or three hundred years? He must be suffocated to drive himself crazy.

The upper limit of the outer domain of the Eight Wastelands that can be reached is there, what else can be done if he does not suffocate?

The appearance of the fourth-level evil land really ignited the fire in the hearts of the cultivators and big monsters in this situation.

If there were no other changes, they might have made some more thorough preparations.

But soon after the third-level evil veins were upgraded, the Xingxiu Palace Yuanying came brazenly, carried out cold killing and expulsion, and then completely sealed the upgraded area, so that they no longer had any scruples.

When the black evil mist array turned into ashes under the heavenly tribulation and the seal was forcibly lifted, they no longer had any concerns.

Unprepared, too hasty?

No one cared.

They were only worried that if they didn't seize this opportunity, they would have no chance to seize it in the future.

Through the "transparent round mirror", Meng Zhou looked at the calamity cloud group that had been triggered shortly after the golden armor spirit insect hid and had never completely dissipated. He didn't know how many "masters" had changed. His mood was a little complicated.

Those calamity clouds were like clusters of heaven and earth furnaces burning with blazing flames. The most essence accumulated in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Realm for hundreds of years or even longer had become "raw materials" and were thrown into this "heaven and earth furnace" to accept the nine deaths and even more cruel tempering.

Among them, more than 90% of the "raw materials" would turn into "residues" and "fertilizers".

But in the end, some "raw materials" turned into real gold under this cruel tempering.

It can be imagined that the number of great monsters and peak Jindan cultivators who were "stagnant" at the peak of the third level due to the restrictions of the heaven and earth in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Realm would be sharply reduced, and it is even possible that the power at this level would be "emptied".

Instead, there will be more True Spirits who have just entered the fourth level and True Lords who have just entered the Nascent Soul stage in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain.

This is a comprehensive "refresh" for the entire Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain.

The various great changes that have occurred in the eight wastelands were originally promoted by Meng Zhou.

Such changes are naturally what Meng Zhou is happy to see.

There are many reasons for doing this, but the most important one is not any weighing of pros and cons, but simply because he wants to.

The changes that have now occurred in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain can be regarded as the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish.

As for the changes that are accompanied by some changes that he is not happy about, Meng Zhou can also accept them.

…

After having a general understanding of the current situation of the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain, Meng Zhou also considered the change plan for the "Starry Sky Lake".

With a plan in mind, the "tadpole patterns" that wandered on the "film" were quickly readjusted by Meng Zhou.

Its abilities in concealment, defense and many other aspects were all revoked.

The right to enter and exit freely within the range of the Starry Sea was retained, and further expansion and extension were made.

——In the Outer Realm, eight fourth-level evil places that were upgraded because of his promotion were also included.

In other words, he only needed to transfer through the "Starry Sky Lake" to travel back and forth between the Outer Realm and the Starry Sea at will.

This is much more convenient than teleporting back and forth through the Observation Hall. More importantly, he no longer needs to rely on anyone for his actions. He has complete freedom and autonomy of action.

After he made such changes, there was still a lot of "Tianchi Star Mud" left.

So, Meng Zhou "wrote" a new rule.

——This new rule gives the first authority controller of "Xingxiu Tianchi", that is, Meng Zhou, the ability to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the greatest extent within the scope of Xingxiu Sea.

The birth of this rule stems from Meng Zhou's insecurity.

Now, with the blessing of this new rule, the entire Xingxiu Sea has become his absolute home court.

Although this cannot really make him "invincible in Xingxiu Sea", it can make his strength several times or even ten times larger within the scope of Xingxiu Sea.

——After self-examination, Meng Zhou found that the strength of his current combat power mainly depends on two factors, "law" and "force".

"Law" is "law of heaven and earth".

"Force" is the power that he can mobilize and exert, including mana, blood, consciousness and soul power, etc.

With the breakthrough, the former has basically stabilized, and it is impossible to change too much in a short period of time.

He needs to constantly comprehend and practice, and only after accumulating day by day can he improve.

This is also difficult for external forces to influence and interfere.

The newly changed rules of "Xingxiu Tianchi" also affect the "force".

Under the effect of the new rules, "Xingxiu Tianchi" seems to have become a staff that can bring comprehensive gains, and it is also like a huge external dantian, allowing Meng Zhou to mobilize "force" far beyond his current level within the Xingxiu Sea.

After this adjustment, since the "return", Meng Zhou's heart, which has always been hanging, has suddenly become much more stable.

...

After re-adjusting the rules of "Xingxiu Tianchi", Meng Zhou's thoughts immediately spread into the bodies of the golden armored spirit insects that were dormant in various places in the outer domain.

The dormant golden armored spirit insects were like inconspicuous stones.

As Meng Zhou's thoughts spread into the bodies of each golden armored spirit insect, a ray of golden light flashed across their bodies.

Then, the golden-armored spirit insects quickly became transparent, and their auras were completely restrained, without any leakage.

These completely hidden golden-armored spirit insects went straight into the nearest fourth-level evil land where the heavenly tribulation continued.

Because they did not leave too far after successfully overcoming the tribulation, it naturally did not take too long to return to this place of tribulation.

Firstly, they restrained their auras very well and reduced their presence to the minimum. Secondly, their speed was very fast. From entering the fourth-level evil land silently to disappearing and leaving silently, the time interval was very short.

So that the tribulation clouds in the sky did not change at all.

When they appeared again, these golden-armored spirit insects had already floated in front of Meng Zhou.

They had already shown their shapes, and they looked like extremely exquisite and beautiful works of art.

The total number of this group of golden beetles gathered from the eight wastelands was as high as 1,200.

This is a very terrifying number.

If we talk about the individual strength of each golden armored spirit insect, it is certainly not very impressive. Apart from its inherent "indestructible cockroach" characteristic, it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to other cultivators who have just entered the Nascent Soul stage.

But this is not just one, this is a full 1,200.

On average, in each place of tribulation, there are 150 that have successfully passed through 7963 true spirit tribulations.

If they come together, not to mention the early stage of the Nascent Soul, Meng Zhou estimates that even the cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can only scream in front of them.

Meng Zhou stared at the 1,200 golden armored spirit insects for a while, and his thoughts moved again.

The golden beetle group that originally floated in front of Meng Zhou like a golden stream suddenly seemed to turn into a wave of golden light.

Rolling up and circling.

Soon it condensed into a human body with golden light on the surface.

As the golden light disappeared, the human body also showed clearer characteristics.

A bald man with lowered eyebrows and eyes, not sturdy, but giving people a feeling of being extremely strong and indestructible.

Meng Zhou stared at this "bald man" for a while, and made some subtle adjustments in some details to achieve the effect of "looking easy to get along with, but not easy to mess with".

And what Meng Zhou paid the most attention to was the hands of this "bald man".

At first glance, they were white and slender, like a woman's hands.

But just a few more glances will give people a sense of oppression that "if this hand becomes a fist, any problem can be solved with one punch".

After making these adjustments, Meng Zhou's mind moved, and a small black armor appeared in Meng Zhou's palm.

This is the spoils of war from Yan Zhuang, and it is also the key to performing the "Secret Method of Substitute Infant".

Although Meng Zhou had already used the "Secret Method of Pearl Embryo Washing Spirit" to "clean" this thing from the inside out.

But when his cultivation was still at the Jindan level, Meng Zhou had always been very cautious about using this thing.

Now, Meng Zhou no longer has any scruples.

Soon, Meng Zhou, who had once again used his powerful and pure strength to carefully "cleanse" himself from the inside out, threw the black armor toward the "bald man."

As the black armor approached, the "bald man" suddenly opened his mouth and sucked it into his stomach.

The black armor turned around in the belly of the "bald man", and the surface of the body was gradually "stained" with a layer of golden light.

Then, the golden light flowed, the black armor changed, and turned into a Q version of the "bald man", and finally sat down quietly in the depths of his forehead.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou turned his head to look in the direction of Lingming Island and smiled slightly.

Things need to be done one by one.

The first problem to be solved is the "Xingxiu Tianchi" where they live;

Then it is to recall the golden armor spirit insects scattered in the eight wastelands of the outer domain and have successfully survived the catastrophe of the true spirit.

After these two most important things are solved, the next thing to be solved is naturally the most urgent and most important problem besides these two things.

The "bald man" in the "Xingxiu Tianchi" flashed and disappeared.

...

Lingming Island.

The meeting hall.

The four Yuanying Zhenjun sat opposite each other.

Yes, four.

In addition to the "Big Brother", "Second Sister" and "Fourth Sister", there is another newcomer.

The seating arrangement of the four people is also very interesting.

The first three sat on one side, while the other newcomer sat far away opposite them.

If Meng Zhou were here, he would be surprised to see this newcomer.

"Kou Chong!"

At this moment, a slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in the center of the hall.

This sudden movement startled the four people in the hall, and they all stared at the sound.

As the four people watched without blinking, golden light slowly flowed in the void.

In this golden light flow, a human figure was quickly "outlined".

The golden light outlined, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Soon, a bald man suddenly appeared in the sight of the four people.

The four people were shocked by the sudden appearance of this man, staring at him and looking him up and down carefully.

The bald man with a faint smile on his face had already looked at Kou Chong, and said in a surprised tone:

"I really didn't expect that the person who passed the tribulation and broke through the Nascent Soul this time was you!"

Kou Chong was surprised and shocked when he heard this, but his face twitched uncontrollably for a few times, and asked: "Senior... cough... do you know me?"

"Bald Meng Zhou" looked at Kou Chong, with a lot of amusement in his eyes, and asked:

"Do you want to know the reason?"

"Yeah."

"Then can you satisfy my curiosity first?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked.

"What?"

"Who passed the tribulation and broke through the Nascent Soul, Kou Chong? Or 'Zheng Bo'?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked directly.

"Ah?!!"

Perhaps because the question came too directly, "Kou Chong" was stunned there immediately.

Even the other three, under the fierce impact of this information, "woke up" one after another, shifted their eyes away from the bald man who suddenly appeared, and stared at "Kou Chong", with unusual sharpness. (End of this chapter)
