Chapter 345: The Great Tribulation of Xiaoyuan

"Master Tianchi!"

Facing the endless attacks on Tongye Island, the god Yixiu shook the sky, and his voice echoed across the sea: "Wushan, Lingyang Peak, Jiuxian Cave, Yixiu, I pay you a visit!"

He is an earthly immortal who has survived forty-nine heavenly tribulations. He has a profound level of Taoism and unless he encounters a heavenly tribulation, he is almost half a step away from achieving immortality.

But in terms of fighting, Yi Xiu still has his weaknesses.

Because he did not spend much time on those unconventional techniques of protecting the Dao, and was only focused on seeking to ascend to heaven.

"Wuna Tou Tuo, you came here uninvited, which makes you an evil guest. Leave immediately, or I will make you experience the harsh punishment of my Great Wei."

Now that Dawei has established a firm foothold here, it must seize the last window of opportunity to develop.

Ruan Xiaoqi and Xiao Yinjian moved into the underground of Tongye Island, and all the Yin gods took over the security work of Da Wei in the Shushan world.

"Lu Pan, you are too conservative."

At this time, the "iron-faced man" Pei Xuan stood up and shouted: "Whoever offends the Great Wei will be punished no matter how far away he is! Even if he has survived the 49th Heavenly Tribulation, so what? In the territory of the Great Wei, you must abide by the laws of the Great Wei. Yi Xiu, you broke into Tongye Island and disturbed our emperor. This is a great crime!"

Pei Xuan raised his wrist and drew a line in the air with the judge's pen from the Punishment Department.

Suddenly, a magnificent bronze gate, seemingly solid and yet not solid, seemingly illusory and yet not illusory, stood on the shady ground behind the Yuanci Divine Peak.

The Judge's Pen of the Punishment Department and the Judge Lu of the Investigation Department really cannot play their true role.

Since Ruan Xiaoqi's return, "Iron-Faced Judge" Pei Xuan has taken charge of the treasure and served as the iron-faced judge of the Punishment Department.

The underworld of Wei.

Looking up at the Gate of Hell, gazing at the City of the Dead from afar.

The wind was cold and the fog was dark. The flowers on the other shore were blooming, like a dream.

The Yellow Springs Road is winding, the Wangchuan River is turbulent, there are ghosts everywhere on the Naihe Bridge, and there is crying on the Wangxiang Terrace.

There is always a dark red blood moon hanging high in the sky of the underworld all year round, and the atmosphere is depressing and gloomy.

Where the dark clouds rolled, ten halls connected to the eighteen levels of purgatory were faintly visible, floating in the void.

There are also countless small palaces surrounding it.

It is the Judge's Hall, the Hall of Impermanence, and the Hall of Wandering...

Of course, some of this is real and some is illusory, and ordinary practitioners cannot tell the difference with their mortal eyes.

Lu Zhidao from the Investigation Department made a tick on the book of life and death, and Pei Xuan from the Punishment Department pronounced the verdict with the judge's pen.

Woohoo!

The sound of a mournful cold wind echoed around Yi Xiu, along with the howling of ghosts and wolves. Even the immortal who had survived the 49th heavenly tribulation felt a little creepy.

Yi Xiu had never encountered such a terrifying magical power.

In the boundless dark wind, two figures, one black and one white, were not affected by the wind. They appeared in broad daylight and fled towards Yi Xiu.

The two figures were wearing black robes and tall hats, with stern faces and long tongues sticking out to their lower abdomens. The words "Peace in the World" were written on the tall hats on their foreheads.

The other one has a smiling face, is tall and thin, has a pale face, a long tongue hanging out of his mouth, and on his head there is a hat with the words "First sight brings wealth" written on it.

They are the two soul-collecting messengers from the underworld, Black and White Impermanence.

These two gentlemen were none other than the "God of Death" Bao Xu and the "Ghost Face" Du Xing.

Their souls were of the Yin nature, and they obtained magical instruments and equipment from the City of the Dead, and changed their professions to become the Lord of Death.

The two Yin gods held soul-catching chains in their hands and tried to capture Yi Xiu's soul.

In the underworld, there are countless soul-catchers, but only Black and White Impermanence are the top ones among them.

When Bao Xu was the God of Death, he followed Li Kui into battle and had seen all kinds of scenes.

Even if you are an earthly immortal, what is there to be afraid of?

In this fight, the underworld headed by Ruan Xiaoqi restrained Yixiu's soul, while Gongsun Sheng controlled the Yuanci to refine Yixiu's body.

Even though Yi Xiu had already cultivated an immortal body and had not fallen into the 49th calamity, he was still restricted here at this moment. He had to exert all his magic power to barely resist the continuous restraint of the high-energy magnetic field...

Gongsun Sheng captured the god Tuo Yixiu, just as Cao Jie had expected.

In this South China Sea, under the cover of the Yuanci Divine Peak force field, Gongsun Sheng continuously absorbed the geomagnetic force without worrying about the consumption of his magic power. This was how he was able to capture this master who had not fallen into the forty-nine calamities.

If they were to leave Tongye Island, although Gongsun Sheng would be able to fight, he would still not be able to capture such a master alive.

Yi Xiu was captured because he was no match for the Yuanci Sacred Mountain and Yuanci Earth Veins, as well as the City of the Dead ruled by Ruan Xiaoqi!

But it is undeniable that Gongsun Sheng has already obtained the magical power of Yuanci and is capable of being cultivated.

The only thing Cao Jie was dissatisfied with about the sacred peak refined by Master Tianchi was that it could not be moved. The Yuan magnetic veins were absorbed by the earth's crust, and the sacred mountain was absorbed by the Yuan magnetic veins.

It is possible to move the sacred mountain, but without the sacred mountain's magnetic veins, its power will be greatly reduced, just like electromagnetic weapons and equipment without energy supply, and will no longer have such terrifying and powerful power.

What Cao Jie wanted was a complete whole, to refine the Yuan magnetic earth veins together with the sacred mountain into one, and build it into a mobile war fortress of the Great Wei Divine Dynasty.

If this fortress is completed, no one in this world will be able to defeat it!
Even if it is Emei's mountain protection formation, how many times can it withstand the bombardment of the magnetic orbital cannon?
Unfortunately, the difficulty of refining this kind of equipment is extremely high.

When Cao Jie saw Yi Xiu being captured, he discussed with Ruan Xiaoqi and Gongsun Sheng and prepared to go deep underground to conduct an in-depth exploration of the Yuan magnetic veins and enter the earth's lungs to see if there were any hidden dangers of the small Yuan catastrophe.

Three days later, the plan was finalized. Cao Jie, Ruan Xiaoqi and Gongsun Sheng walked to the entrance of the Cifeng Crypt and set foot underground.

There was a small tripod hanging above Cao Jie's head, and there was water inside the tripod, as if there was a vast ocean.

In Ruan Xiaoqi's hand was a city filled with gloomy energy, not like a place for living people.

Gongsun Sheng, on the other hand, was in control of the Yuanci Divine Peak above his head, and his entire body was covered with Yuanci divine light.

The three of them have treasures protecting them, so they are not afraid of the blazing fire in the earth's lungs.

As we explored further, the Yuan magnetic veins seemed to go deep into the lungs of the earth, so vast that it was difficult to discern. In addition, there were ancient strata separating them, which made them subtle and mysterious, beyond our imagination, and beyond the reach of ordinary divination. Even those with great magical powers who made careful divinations could not fully understand them.

There are thirteen ancient layers of earth, some of which are harder than steel, and some are extremely hot boiling mud, each one more difficult than the last.

Cao Jie used the Yu Ding and the Emperor's Seal to clear the way and determine the earth, water, wind and fire, so that he could escape into the earth's lungs in one fell swoop.

Inside the lungs of the earth, it is even more terrifying, with endless pressure, heat, and poisons.

The cauldron was placed above his head, creating a small stable space, and a beam of extremely Yin divine light bloomed in the Wrongful Death City, exploring the Earth Lungs like a searchlight. "Go down another 1,300 feet, and you will reach the Fire Eye where the poisonous fire of the Earth Lungs originates."

Gongsun Sheng used magnetic field exploration and provided specific information.

The Earth's Lungs is extremely dangerous, as it is a gathering place of turbid and negative energy. It is like the sea of ​​​​lava and fire under the Yueer Island volcano, and it is also like the magnetic peak under the Tongye Island, which breeds water, fire, wind, and thunder, just like an ancient world.

Cao Jie knew that the small Yuan catastrophe was hidden very deeply and it was difficult to predict unless the catastrophe broke out, so he searched carefully.

"This place is extremely dangerous. It is indeed a place of great danger that is about to erupt in the Small Yuan Catastrophe!"

Cao Jie couldn't help but sigh, because the magnetic peak above his head attracted not only the ancient primordial fire to pile up into mountains, but also all kinds of heavy and turbid air under the ground, which was attracted as well, creating a chaotic scene.

"Brother, this ancient fire condensed from pure Yin is extremely poisonous. It has been accumulating anger for tens of millions of years. It is pulled by the magnetic peak and its force is the most violent. If we want to eliminate this catastrophe, we can't block it, we can only channel it... but channeling it is also extremely difficult... Xiaoqi, how do you feel?"

Gongsun Sheng looked solemn and worried.

"To take the Yuan magnetic earth veins, you must first stabilize the earth lungs. To stabilize the earth lungs, you must first eliminate the ancient Taihuo..." Cao Jie also looked at Ruan Xiaoqi.

"Brother, let me give this ancient fire condensed from pure yin a try."

Ruan Xiaoqi pushed the City of Wrongful Death in his palm forward, and the ancient Tai Fire was immediately sucked over. Although the City of Wrongful Death was a Taiyin treasure and he was not afraid of it, he could do nothing about the Yin Fire.

The reason is that Ruan Xiaoqi's realm is not enough.

Faced with such a vast power of heaven and earth, Cao Jie was helpless for a moment and could only slowly plan his actions.

There are many hollow places in the earth's lungs thousands of feet deep underground. When the turbid Yin Qi has not yet condensed into boiling magma rock layers, it turns into wind, thunder, water and fire to fill the void.

In front of us is a magnetic vein winding through the earth's lungs, connecting to the North and South Poles, and there are many huge magnetic peaks like floating island mountains suspended in the earth's lungs.

A cold wind blew through the underground, and because this wind was formed by the flow of heavy and turbid air, it was the most vicious and terrifying. Under the blowing of this cold wind, even a person made of gold and iron would have his bones and flesh melted away and his body would disintegrate without any powerful magic to protect him.

The yin and yang magnetic fields in the earth's lungs are trapped in a small space and are extremely sensitive. Any slight disturbance will destroy the fragile balance of the two poles and trigger a mysterious thunderstorm.

And the ancient Taihuo, the mysterious poisonous fire contained in the earth's lungs, is even more terrifying.

This fire was originally a ball of dark yin energy, which spun rapidly all year round. At the beginning of chaos, this kind of balls of primordial energy were scattered throughout the universe, numbering in the billions. Most of them were yin and yang, flying and flowing in the sky, absorbing primordial energy, and never stopping.

At that time, the heaven and earth were in chaos, the primordial qi was thick, and the sky was very low. After millions of years, the primordial qi was all absorbed by this kind of air mass, and it grew bigger and bigger. Countless years later, the heaven and earth were in a stable position, and the sky was getting higher and higher. This kind of air mass flew up to the sky and transformed into the stars. With the suction force of its own yin and yang qi, it kept flying and rotating, each following its kind, running according to time, and never changing.

However, there are some evil auras left over from the ancient times. They are heavy and turbid, unable to rise to the sky, and are therefore wrapped up in the earth's lungs.

Over billions of years, the geology has become increasingly thicker, growing layer by layer, while the earth's lungs are empty. The earth's air is not as vicious and powerful as the earth's lungs, and its matter is heavier than the earth's lungs. Therefore, they have been clinging to the upper layer of the earth's lungs since ancient times, growing and expanding day by day, becoming larger and larger.

These energies have the terrifying power to annihilate all things.

Such a terrifying place also hides great fortune. If one can safely extract the heavy and turbid air or the thunderstorm energy, or the ancient fire, it will be the best material for refining some magic weapons.

After exploring the earth's lungs, Cao Jie and his companions returned to the surface.

As for how to further develop Tongye Island, we still need to continue planning and discussing a perfect plan!

……

"Your Majesty, hundreds of years ago, Master Tianchi condensed a magnetic peak here, which tightly absorbed the ancient fire and stopped it from flowing. Therefore, the upper half is unique. Over time, it has only grown horizontally in all directions and no longer has a spherical shape."

"This thing is the source of the small Yuan catastrophe. If we penetrate the bottom layer horizontally, it will cause a disaster and disrupt the balance of the earth's lungs. This Taihuo will also fly around in the earth's lungs, spewing poisonous fire. At that time, the entire island and the seabed within thousands of miles will be completely exploded, and the entire continent will be blown through."

"And the Yuanci Divine Peak on top will also be burned down and turned into nothing..."

Cao Jie pondered for a moment, pointed at the magnetic peak and said, "So, only by drilling a hole in the thickest part of the upper layer in the center can we maintain the balance and make the Taihuo stick to the earth's crust without moving at all."

"Your Majesty is wise, and this is exactly what you need to do to stabilize the ancient Great Fire."

"When the time comes, Brother Xiaoqi will refine this fire and merge it into the City of the Dead."

Liangshan had people and resources, so they started to work in a mighty manner. The Yuanci Divine Peak skillfully controlled the magnetic field, stabilized the ancient Taihuo in the earth's lungs, and then drilled a deep well vertically into the earth's lungs.

The Emperor's Seal, which was refined with Black Mountain as the main body, determined the earth, water, wind and fire. It used the infinite elemental magnetism to extract the earth's lungs and fire, and used the Yu Ding to cool it. The Yinsi of the City of the Dead worked in three shifts day and night to extract the extremely yin energy in the fire...

After going through the whole process, not only can the ancient fire power in the earth's lungs be released, but also the Yuanci Divine Mountain can be sacrificed and a lot of resources for cultivation can be obtained.

First day of trial operation.

It was late at night, and the sky was at noon. After the ancient fire in the underground cave was filtered through many layers, only wisps of residual smoke were discharged through the huge chimney, swaying upwards.

Everyone was immersed in the intensive work.

Only Cao Jie patiently watched the waning moon setting in the west, remaining extremely calm.

After the Great Wei Dynasty took control of Tongye Island, all the large creatures in the sea migrated away. The sea surface became quiet, with only waves crashing against the coast and sobbing.

Looking up at the sky, the remaining hot flames broke through the air and dyed the night a dark red.

Fighting against the sky is so much fun!

The Great Wei Dynasty has managed to transform the minor catastrophe into energy that benefits mankind. This is a great fortune.

After a while, the morning star shone brightly and the dawn began to appear in the east.

A loud shout just appeared on the Yuanci Divine Mountain: "Get up!"

Then there were strange sounds in the sky, as if countless celestial drums were beating in the air, or even more like tens of millions of divine soldiers, iron-clad celestial horses, and thousands of hooves rushing down from the sky to kill them.

The thunder exploded with an extremely fierce force.

It happened so quickly that dozens or hundreds of golden rays of light intertwined in the sky. The earth was immediately illuminated, and everything above and below turned golden.

The initial transformation of the Earth's lungs was successful.

At this moment, the three immortals of the East China Sea, who had returned from their defeat at Tongye Island, once again sensed the changes on Tongye Island.

"The small Yuan catastrophe is disappearing."

"That group of people actually have such magical powers?"

"Brother, they have taken control of the Yuanci Divine Mountain and eliminated the small Yuan catastrophe on Tongye Island. They must land and commit more murders!"

"It's easy to break the Yuan magnetic field. We have the ancient treasure, the Cosmic Light Plate, which is specially designed to break magnetic light and the Great Yin Yuan magnetic Qi. The Yuan magnetic mountain is nothing to worry about..."

"This treasure is in the hands of Master Fentuo!"

"Besides, the Yuanci Divine Mountain cannot be moved. If they abandon Tongye Island and extend their hands into Jiuzhou, why should we be afraid?"
