Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Although he had already decided to go to Taoist Lan to open the treasure together, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to act immediately.

Taoist Lan also made it very clear in the jade slips that the treasure is not easy to get, and he just remembers the location and has the right to pass some of the forbidden laws in the treasure.

Where the real core treasure is located, most of them have to rely on brute force to break through.

Moreover, Daoist Lan himself is even more worried. He is worried that when he goes to fetch the treasure alone, if he is hit by the backhand left by the main body during his lifetime, the self-awareness he has finally formed may be erased again and become the carrier of the main body's resurrection.

So he will definitely wait for Zhou Yang to pass before actually taking the treasure.

Similarly, Zhou Yang was also worried about the hidden dangers in the treasure, and felt that it would not be too late for him to set out to seize the treasure after he had accumulated all his natal artifacts into seventh-rank top-grade artifacts.

Not long after, after learning that Master Zhou Yang had returned from the lower realm, his six disciples all returned to Dongyang Peak to pay their respects to him.

During Zhou Yang's time in the Lower Realm, his only sixth disciple, Wang Qian, who was accepted as a true disciple, had successfully conceived a baby, and all of them had raised their cultivation to the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

And his eldest disciple Zhu Chongyang is already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and has already begun to think about the matter of becoming an immortal.

The rest, like the second disciple Yan Donglai, has reached the eighth level of Yuanying, the third disciple Han Sheng has reached the sixth level of Yuanying, the fourth disciple Su Qing and the fifth disciple He Zhenzhen are both at the fifth level of Yuanying .

"Very good, it seems that during the years when the teacher was away, none of you relaxed your respective practice, which is very good."

Inside the cave mansion, Zhou Yang swept his gaze, and after gaining insight into the cultivation status of several disciples, his face showed a slight satisfaction, and he did not hesitate to praise them.

To be honest, when Zhou Yang accepted these disciples, he just wanted to better integrate himself into Chixiao Immortal Palace and win the trust of Master Zishan and others, but he didn't actually put much energy into these disciples.

However, after so many years, he saw that these disciples were still doing their best to serve him, and did not give up on themselves and blamed himself because he neglected to teach them, and he gradually accepted them in his heart.

At this time, after complimenting a few people, he also took advantage of the opportunity to give them a bigger surprise.

I saw his eyes glanced at the faces of several people one by one kindly, and then said in a soft tone: "Your performance these years, I have seen and remembered your performance in my heart."

"It's said that people are ruthless. Even if you are a teacher, you have become an immortal, but your heart is still made of flesh. You won't be unmoved by the respect and filial piety of your disciples."

"From now on, all of you will be regarded as official disciples of the master, and all treatment will be handled according to the standard of true disciples. This matter will be notified by the Master Association and Senior Brother Zishan."

Changing from registered disciples to official disciples, this is the biggest wish of Zhu Chongyang, Yan Donglai and other five people since they joined Zhou Yang's sect.

Over the years, the five of them don't know how much effort, sweat, and painstaking efforts they have put in for this.

Now that Zhou Yang finally heard Zhou Yang's words to accept them as official disciples, even a monk like Zhu Chongyang, who was a monk of the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul, was extremely excited.

For a female disciple like He Zhenzhen, tears flashed in her excited eyes.

They all bowed down to Zhou Yang with gratitude.

Next, Zhou Yang also carefully asked about the practice status of each disciple, and gave pointers and suggestions, and at the same time rewarded each disciple with a gift.

After pointing out each disciple one by one and rewarding them with gifts, Zhou Yang asked the other five disciples to retreat to carefully understand what he had just said, but left the eldest disciple Zhu Chongyang alone.

"Chongyang, how old are you this year?"

Hearing Zhou Yang's question, Zhu Chongyang responded respectfully: "If you return to Master, this disciple will be 2169 years old this year."

"After more than 2,100 years of age, he cultivated to the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul. Although this speed is not particularly fast, it is not bad."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Then do you have a plan for the future path? Do you have your own ideas about how to overcome calamity and become an immortal?"

"This... thanks to the great blessing of the master, this disciple also had the honor to browse through the various methods of becoming immortals and methods of becoming immortals in our sect's collection. The female monks and fellow monks practice the art of changing Yin and Yang, and use external forces to break through and become immortals!"

Zhu Chongyang hesitated for a moment, but whispered his plan.

"The art of yin and yang transformation? But the [life-killing yin-yang transformation method] that is both righteous and evil?"

Zhou Yang's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhu Chongyang in surprise and asked.

Zhu Chongyang immediately lowered his head deeply, and only replied in a low voice, "This is exactly the method".

This time Zhou Yang frowned even tighter. Looking at the big disciples with their heads hanging down in front of him, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a deep understanding of these disciples.

At least because the two sides don't communicate often, his understanding of the temperament of these disciples is far inferior to that of Lu Xuewei and other disciples when he was in the lower realm.

It wasn't just the exchange just now, and he didn't expect that his big disciple would even dare to practice the "Yin-Yang Transformation Spiritual Method" which is both good and evil, in order to be able to overcome the catastrophe and become an immortal.

Zhou Yang felt that he still had to persuade this disciple.

After all, he is Zhu Chongyang's closest elder now, so he can only come forward to persuade him about this kind of matter.

At the moment, he also looked deeply at Zhu Chongyang and said: "The danger of this method, I don't need to say too much as a teacher. Although the chance of becoming a fairy is indeed higher than that of ordinary methods, no matter who can succeed, as the other party of the Taoist partner As a result, it will fall and become the nourishment of the successful!"

"Even if you can become the final winner, can you really not regret it when you recall this matter in the long days of immortality?"

However, after Zhu Chongyang heard his words, he replied calmly: "I don't know if I will regret it after becoming a fairy in the future, but I know that if I don't fight hard, I will lose my life in the next thousand years." There is a high probability that I will regret more and more why I didn't fight!"

When Zhou Yang heard the words, he didn't know how to persuade him immediately.

He is only Zhu Chongyang's master, not his parents.

What's more, for a cultivator, even his biological parents cannot interfere and stop him from pursuing immortality.

"Since you are aware of the consequences and have made up your mind, then I don't have much to persuade you as a teacher."

"This jade slip contains a [Sanbao Ruyi Jue], which is the secret method used by the teacher to break through the realm and become an immortal. Although it is difficult to practice, it is not as good as your [Death-killing Yin-Yang Transformation Spiritual Method] side effect."

"My teacher's suggestion is that you try to practice this method first, and if it doesn't work, it won't be too late to practice the [Death-killing Yin-Yang Transformation Spiritual Method]."

Zhou Yang said, and handed the jade slips he had prepared to Zhu Chongyang.

He has already said what should be said, what exactly Zhu Chongyang will do is beyond his control.

The so-called master leads the door, and practice depends on the individual.

A master can only point out a path for his disciples.

And whether the apprentice is willing to follow the clear path he pointed out depends on the apprentice himself.

In this way, after Zhu Chongyang thanked him and left, Zhou Yang couldn't help thinking of his wife and children in the lower realm.

His heart to the Tao has always been firm, but a secret technique like the [Death-killing Yin-Yang Transformation Spirit Art] is absolutely impossible to practice with his temperament.

In some respects, he seems to be a passionate seed!

After thinking about his wife and children in the lower realm alone for a while, Zhou Yang adjusted his thoughts and entered the state of practice.

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After 20 years of painstaking cultivation, Zhou Yang finally upgraded the [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] to a seventh-rank high-grade fairy weapon.

In this way, he has [Sun God Sword], the seventh-grade high-grade fairy weapon, and [Qianyang Golden Pagoda], the natal fairy weapon for defense. Regardless of offense and defense, he is not considered weak among true immortals in the late stage of the tribulation.

But even so, Zhou Yang didn't set off immediately to find Taoist Lan, but went to visit [Li Yang Zhenjun] again, and asked him for a fairy talisman to protect himself.

At this time, although [True Lord Liyang] has not set out to search for the treasure left by the "Chi Xiao Dao Ancestor", he is also making preparations.

After Zhou Yang stated that he needed to go out, he was persuaded by him, wanting Zhou Yang to wait for him to take out the treasure before leaving the sect.

But Zhou Yang knew that the treasure left by "Chixiao Taoist Ancestor" was of great importance, if [Zhen Jun Liyang] did not make sure preparations, it was absolutely impossible to leave Chixiao Immortal Palace easily to collect the treasure.

Calculated based on the lifespan of a True Monarch in the Void Returning Stage, it is normal for this preparation time to take hundreds of years.

How could Zhou Yang be willing to wait so long before setting off.

He believed that Taoist Lan would not wait for him that long.

So this time he resolutely declined [Liyang Zhenjun]'s kindness, and soon quietly left the gate of Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace.

For the sake of confidentiality and safety, Zhou Yang did not take the cross-immortal teleportation array controlled by the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace to leave the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Territory, but chose to move and fly on his own way.

Although it is a waste of time to do so, it is better than safety and concealment.

Fortunately, the treasure location mentioned by Taoist Lan is in the Yellowstone Immortal Territory. If Zhou Yang moves and flies from the Chixiao Immortal Territory, it will only take 20 or 30 years.

When Zhou Yang came to Chixiao Immortal Territory from Chiming Immortal Territory, he also passed through Huangshi Immortal Territory.

It's just that at that time, he was only thinking about rushing to Chixiao Immortal Territory, and he didn't stop much in Huangshi Immortal Territory.

At this time, after 23 years of long journey, he traversed the entire Qianshan Immortal Territory and half of Chixiao Immortal Territory, and finally arrived in Huangshi Immortal Territory again.

Because this trip required absolute secrecy of his whereabouts, after Zhou Yang arrived in Huangshi Immortal Territory, he did not report his immortal status to Huangshi Immortal Palace, the ruling force in the Immortal Territory. Went to the address left by Taoist Lan.

Four years later, Zhou Yang arrived at an area called "Chaotic Sky Sea" in Huangshi Immortal Territory.

"Chaotic Sky Sea" is a famous dangerous place in Huangshi Immortal Territory. It is said that in ancient times, this place was the ancestral land of a foreign race in the real fairy world. Later, the human race rose up and defeated the foreign race and expelled it.

And it is said that when the alien race left the ancestral land, because they were unwilling to be occupied by the human race, several powerful men who were equivalent to the late stage of returning to the void teamed up to display some kind of taboo supernatural power, which shattered the void of this place and changed it almost forever. The law of space here.

So much so that even though tens of thousands of years have passed, the laws of space in this "Chaotic Sky Sea" are still extremely unstable, and many stacked spaces have been derived from it, forming many natural caves and secret realms.

At the same time, because the law of space here is extremely unstable, it is very easy for the True Immortal of Dujie to shatter the space here, which leads to some unpredictable consequences, so that there are very few seventh-order existences here.

Probably this is why Lan Dao's body would put the treasure here.

After Zhou Yang arrived near the "Chaotic Sky Sea", he used secret techniques to send a signal to Taoist Lan, asking him to come and meet him.

After waiting on a barren mountain for less than half a month, he saw Taoist Lan again.

At this time, Taoist Lan, although his appearance was the same as before, his original aura that was not like a living person had completely disappeared.

If he didn't know his roots well, even with Zhou Yang's current cultivation base and divine sense, he wouldn't be able to see his roots, and would only regard him as a true human immortal.

This made Zhou Yang amazed in his heart, feeling that he had witnessed a remarkable miracle.

From a pure puppet avatar at the beginning, it gradually developed an independent consciousness, and then broke the shackles of the avatar, successfully condensed the fairy body, and walked out of the non-human and non-demonic path of becoming a fairy. To marvel at the miracle.

But even though he was amazed in his heart, as an old friend who had known each other for many years, Zhou Yang still didn't let this idea float on his face.

After looking at the other party for a while, he congratulated him with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lan, you finally managed to get rid of the influence of the main body and walk out of your own path!"

Taoist Lan looked at him with emotion when he heard his words, shook his head and said, "The one who should say congratulations should be Lan. It has only been a short thousand years since Daoist Zhou's ascension, and he has already made breakthroughs one after another, and he has reached the peak of his cultivation. The realm in the later stage of the tribulation is really amazing and enviable!"

Thousands of years, perhaps in the eyes of Fanxiu, who was cultivated under the Transcendence Tribulation Period, is a very long period of time.

But in the eyes of the true immortals who have already become immortals and attained the Tao, it is really just "a short thousand years".

For the vast majority of true immortals in the Transcending Tribulation Period, being able to break through a small realm in three to five thousand years is already very powerful.

Like Zhou Yang, a true immortal who has broken through twice in a thousand years is not unique, but it is also very rare.

Even those juniors who are valued by powerful beings, few of them can do it.

So Taoist Lan was very shocked when he saw that he was already in the late stage of crossing the catastrophe, knowing that he must have had some other extraordinary adventure during the hundreds of years of being separated from him.

Sure enough, after Zhou Yang heard his exclamation, he waved his hands modestly and said, "It's just a coincidence that I got some fairy medicine, and I rushed up because of the power of the elixir, so I don't deserve such praise from Fellow Daoist Lan. "

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Let's talk about the treasure you mentioned in your message, Fellow Daoist Lan. I don't know what you have discovered and gained from your investigation here these years, Fellow Daoist Lan?"

Taoist Lan immediately understood what he meant when he heard the words, and immediately followed his words and replied: "In terms of discovery, Lan has already found the exact location of the treasure, and it is confirmed that the treasure has not been touched. "

"However, it is a little troublesome that because of the time that has passed, there are several overlapping secret caves near the treasure. If there is too much movement when I am waiting for the treasure, I am not sure if it will trigger those secret caves. Shattered, forming space turbulence!"

Zhou Yang was also slightly taken aback when he heard his answer, and couldn't help but looked at him in surprise and said, "So, fellow Taoist Lan, haven't you ever gone in yet?"

"Lan's body was the best at scheming and scheming others during his lifetime. The treasures he left behind are not so good. Without Zhou Daoyou's protection and company, Lan would not dare to enter there alone, otherwise if he is caught in a plot, he will regret it. It's too late!"

Taoist Lan shook his head slightly, and expressed his concerns with a solemn expression.

From his words, it is not difficult to hear that although he has walked out of his own path, he still has awe and fear for his former body, and dare not face it alone.

Zhou Yang can understand this.

Immediately, he nodded lightly and promised him: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lan, as long as you can do things within Zhou's ability, Zhou will never let Fellow Daoist be harmed!"

"Zhou Daoyou has never disappointed Lan. With Zhou Daoyou's words, Lan feels relieved."

Taoist Lan's eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied and relieved of Zhou Yang's promise.

Then the two talked about the situation of the treasure, and Taoist Lan took Zhou Yang to the area where the treasure was located.

Because the laws of space in the "Chaotic Sky Sea" are very fragile and unstable, Zhou Yang and the two of them did not dare to use the teleportation technique easily after they entered it, and could only fly towards the treasure at a flying speed equivalent to that of a monk on the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul. go.

For the two of them who are trying to get the treasure, it's okay to spend a little more time on the road, the most important thing is confidentiality and safety.

After flying in the "Chaotic Sky Sea" for nearly three months, the two arrived near the treasure that Taoist Lan said, outside a sea area filled with gray-white mist.

After the two stopped outside, Taoist Lan explained softly to Zhou Yang:

"This place is also called the Sea of ​​Spiritual Void by the monks of the Yellowstone Immortal Realm. The gray-white mist can distort people's consciousness and obstruct their vision. If monks who are below the Tribulation Stage enter it, their strength will be greatly suppressed. On the contrary, monster races with strong physical bodies and keen instincts are less restricted in it."

"Therefore, there are still many sixth-level monsters hiding in it and cultivating there. Occasionally, some immortal cultivators who have cultivated physical supernatural powers will enter it to look for treasures."

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately put his spiritual consciousness into it and tried it out.

As a result, I soon discovered that although my spiritual consciousness was indeed disturbed, the range of its effect was still as wide as thousands of miles, and basically the effect was not great.

Then he commented lightly: "It is indeed a bit famous, but it is not far from the void and mist in Mixian Valley, and it has no effect on you and me."

Taoist Lan didn't know what the "Valley of Lost Immortals" was, and it was only after Zhou Yang explained it that he finally understood.

Immediately, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You Daoist Zhou is really amazing, you can enter and exit such dangerous places with ease!"

"It can't be considered as free in and out, it can only be said to have escaped from death!"

Zhou Yang shook his head, recalling his experience in the "Valley of Lost Immortals", he also felt quite terrified.

However, he didn't want to talk too much about these things that had passed, and soon urged Taoist Lan to enter the sea of ​​spirit void together, and rushed towards the treasure.

And in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, as soon as he entered the sea of ​​spirit void, Zhou Yang activated the real dragon's blood in his body a little bit, releasing a strong dragon's power to deter those monsters hiding in it.

However, what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that the dragon power he released certainly deterred those monster races and saved a lot of unnecessary troubles.

However, the appearance of this dragon's power also alarmed an existence in a deep place deep in the sea of ​​spirit void.

I saw a middle-aged man with a pair of black dragon horns growing on his head in an abyss deep in the sea of ​​spirit void. He suddenly opened his eyes from meditating, and raised his eyes to look at the sea above with a face full of surprise.

"Huh? What a pure Longwei, did any real dragons enter the Sea of ​​Spiritual Void? Could it be that they also came here for the imminent maturity of Longling Xianzhi?"

"But it shouldn't be. I have already sealed off the energy here with the fairy array. Even if a real dragon with a seventh-level upper-grade cultivation base passes nearby, it is impossible to feel the remnants of the real dragon here before the Longling Xianzhi is fully matured." The slightest breath of the corpse."

"There are still two or three hundred years before Longling Xianzhi matures, so how could the owner of Longwei discover the existence of Longling Xianzhi in advance?"

The middle-aged man was talking to himself, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and when he flicked his sleeves, a black one-horned dragon several feet long flew out of his wrist, rapidly expanding and becoming a dragon several hundred meters long. Long Giant Jiao.

Then he said to the giant black dragon with a heavy tone: "Go and see what's going on with Longwei."

"good."

The giant black flood dragon responded with a cry, and immediately swung its tail, its body quickly turned into a black light and left the abyss of the sea.

Not long after, Zhou Yang, who had arrived outside the treasure he mentioned with Taoist Lan and was about to enter the treasure with him, suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Why did Fellow Daoist Zhou frown suddenly?"

Daoren Lan keenly noticed the change in Zhou Yang's expression, and hurriedly asked why.

"Zhou felt as if someone was watching us, but he didn't find any trace."

Zhou Yang's lips moved slightly, and the sound transmission immediately explained the reason for his frown.

"This is impossible!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is already at the late stage of crossing the catastrophe. If someone is really spying on us in secret, and even you, fellow Daoist Zhou, can't find his whereabouts, doesn't that mean that this person's cultivation is likely to have reached the stage of returning to the void?"

Taoist Lan looked at Zhou Yang in shock, feeling very unbelievable at his statement.

In fact, Zhou Yang didn't think so in his mind.

His spiritual consciousness has always been much stronger than that of the monks of the same realm, and now even he has not found the slightest trace of the peeping person, which makes him have some doubts about his own feelings, wondering whether his feelings are wrong.

"Maybe Zhou felt wrong!"

With a soft sigh in his mouth, he decided not to get entangled in this matter, and it was more important to advance to the treasure.

If there really are powerful existences in the Void Return Period who are watching them secretly, it might be safer to enter the treasure at this time.

Taoist Lan thought so too.

So he quickly activated the formula and led Zhou Yang into the treasure hidden by the fairy formation.

"I didn't expect such a mysterious fairy formation to be hidden here, what a surprise!"

In the sea thousands of miles away, blue light flickered in the pupils of the giant black dragon, and words full of unexpected surprises came out of its mouth.

Then it swung its dragon tail, and its body quickly disappeared in place, returning to the abyss under the sea.

"Oh, like this seat, he has the blood of a real dragon, but is not a half-demon body of human-dragon hybrid blood. Could it be the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Realm who practice physical supernatural powers?"

"But that fairy formation is really interesting. I have been in this sea of ​​spiritual void for nearly two thousand years, but I haven't discovered its existence. At least this is the means that only true kings in the Void Return Stage can have!"

"It seems that my luck has come. Not only will I be able to harvest a Longling Xianzhi that will help us survive the fire, but I will also get a secret treasure left by a True Monarch of the Void Return Stage!"

In the abyss under the sea, the middle-aged man in Longjiao's eyes lit up after listening to the words of the giant black dragon incarnation who came back, and a look of great interest appeared on his face.

He is guarding the Longling Xianzhi that is about to mature here, which is actually very boring.

Because he can't improve his cultivation level by a little bit now, and he has already survived the thunder disaster among the three disasters. He usually meditates, and he is only cultivating immortal artifacts or comprehending laws.

Now that he discovered that there might still be a secret treasure left by the True Monarch of the Returning Void Stage in the Sea of ​​the Void, he immediately became interested.

Immediately, after pondering for a while, he left the giant black jellyfish incarnation in the abyss of the sea to guard the imminently mature Longling Xianzhi for himself.

Then he quietly set off and rushed towards the treasure place where Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan had entered.

On the other side, after Zhou Yang was taken into the treasure by Taoist Lan, he soon appeared in a closed void space.

Without waiting for him to look at the specific situation of this empty space, a total of five beast-shaped puppets exuding a powerful aura appeared in the empty space.

Dragon, phoenix, tortoise, tiger, and unicorn, five beast-shaped puppets with different shapes and attributes, each exuding a powerful aura comparable to that of a true fairy in the middle of the tribulation, they are five fairy-level puppets!

But just when Zhou Yang was on alert and ready to act first to destroy one of the puppets, Taoist Lan did it first.

I saw Taoist Lan making seals quickly with his hands, chanting some kind of awkward and mysterious spells, gold and silver scripts flew out of his mouth and hands, and shot towards the puppets.

All the puppets hit by these script scripts quickly restrained their hostility and aura, and stopped in place.

"Although Lan's body is not one of those members of the Great Sect of the Immortal Palace who dominates one of the Immortal Domains, his physical strength is not weaker than those of the Great Sect of the Immortal Palace of the same realm."

"Furthermore, in terms of skills such as formations, talismans, and puppet refining techniques, it is because of its own outstanding talent that it is unique and unique, and it has become a school of its own, surpassing many true monarchs of the Immortal Palace sect!"

"This set of five-element fairy puppets are just the guards of the first gate outside the treasure. Although Lan can't drive them, it's not difficult to let them go."

After Taoist Lan calmed down the five fairy puppets, he quickly explained the inside story to Zhou Yang who was looking at him in surprise.

After Zhou Yang heard the words, he immediately waved his hands and said, "You don't need to say too much, Fellow Daoist Lan, Zhou believes in you."

He believed that Lan Taoist did not tell him the origin of his body, there must be some difficulties, and there was no need to force him.

As people who ascended together from the lower realms, Zhou Yang's trust in Daoist Lan is definitely higher than his trust in Master Zishan and his brothers from the Chixiao Immortal Palace.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, for your understanding. I'll go to the next level after this."

Taoist Lan's complexion relaxed, and he nodded gratefully to Zhou Yang, and immediately made a formula to activate the formation restriction here, and sent the two of them to the next level.

Next, under Taoist Lan's operation, Zhou Yang and him passed the second and third levels safely.

After the fourth level, Taoist Lan's authority came to an end, and the two fell into a bitter battle.
