Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 703 Watching the Fusion

"My benefactor, I have really gone thousands of miles away..." Yuan Ruoshui explained in a low voice. After parting with Lu Ye that day, he really moved away from Jigong Mountain and went straight to a place thousands of miles away.

A hundred years passed peacefully like this, but he never expected that the rules of the bad luck curse would be activated, and his body would be "frozen" and fall on the road. He was picked up by the four brothers of the Mo family, and then he met Lu Ye again.

"This is the fourth time..." Lu Ye looked unhappy and was about to settle the debt with her.

"Not good..." Yuan Ruoshui exclaimed, and his magic power burst out, destroying the temporary cave with a bang.

Lu Ye was blown over by the sudden burst of magic power, and he got up covered in dust.

I just watched as the Daughter of Doom spread her black wings and rose into the air. The sky was surrounded by dark clouds like a city and lightning like the ocean.

The dramatic changes in celestial phenomena affected the area within a radius of hundreds of miles.

It turned out that the heavenly tribulation of breaking through the Void Refinement Realm had arrived, and as long as one could overcome it, one would become a True Saint.

Lu Ye looked up with his mouth wide open, a look of astonishment.

"Not good. Being the creditor of a True Saint is very stressful."

"Would you like to slip away first as a sign of respect?"

It turns out that during this hundred years, Yuan Ruoshui has made rapid progress, far surpassing contemporary cultivators and much faster than Lu Ye.

He has actually already reached the great perfection stage of refining emptiness.

In fact, if it were a normal cultivator, it would be a natural process and he would naturally wait for the right time to break through to the fusion realm.

However, Yuan Ruoshui was plagued by bad luck and failed to wait for the right opportunity. Instead, his five senses were inexplicably blocked during his practice. He fell in the wilderness and was picked up by the four demon brothers.

Then think about it again.

Can Yuan Ruoshui, who is plagued by bad luck, really survive the fusion catastrophe?
He looked up intently, and suddenly his expression froze.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator is undergoing tribulation, nine bolts of heavenly thunder will fall one after another, each one stronger than the last.

For example, when he was going through the Lianxu Tribulation last time, he had supreme merit and swallowed all the calamity clouds with one mouth. He was an outlier among the outliers.

But that is based on absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

And in front of you.

This girl of doom’s tribulation is another example of an alternative.

Under the calamity cloud, the rolling and condensed ocean of thunder and lightning accumulated to its peak and then exploded with a loud bang.

Nine thunder dragons rushed down with their fangs and claws bared, almost connecting into a straight line of lightning.

The first dragon is slightly thinner, but the tail dragon is as thick as a mountain.

It was as if there was a gigantic god in the dark clouds, holding a gun and striking downwards. The tip of the gun was composed of nine thunder dragons, which bombarded Yuan Ruoshui, vowing to kill him!

Yuan Ruoshui was still timid on the ground.

In the face of the heavenly calamity, her strong nature was immediately revealed.

She gave a delicate cry, shook the spear in her hand, and waved her black wings. A thick layer of black air wrapped around her body, and she flew straight into the sky...

A thunder dragon struck her.

The black energy outside her body instantly collapsed and dissipated, and she revealed a comfortable expression. The next moment, more cursed and doomed black energy runes flew out of her body.

These endless black gases were constantly dispersed by the thunder in the sky, and new rolling black gases gushed out of the body and were then destroyed.

But there were nine giant thunder dragons in the sky, rolling over and over, pressing down a huge ball of black gas and devouring it non-stop, and the two were rapidly offsetting and melting away.

In the big ball of black gas, Yuan Ruoshui stood proudly. The more the black gas was weakened, the more confident and radiant her face became. Even the black scales on her forehead dissipated a lot.

Lu Ye slapped his thigh while watching from below.

"Wonderful..."

"This Yuan Ruoshui is clearly using the power of the heavenly tribulation to eliminate the curse in his body!"

"However, for someone like her who is plagued by bad luck, I wonder if the Heavenly Demon Tribulation will be easy to deal with?"

The eight thunder dragons in front had already reduced the black energy around Yuan Ruoshui to almost disappear.

The black scales on the woman's forehead had almost completely disappeared, and her face was radiant. Her body had absorbed the free power of the heavenly thunder, and it seemed that her originally thin and shapeless body had become somewhat curvy.

Even with the power of the heavenly calamity, its black horns and black wings could not produce the slightest change.

Boom!

The last bolt of lightning fell and hit Yuan Ruoshui's body. She raised her wings to block it upwards, and her horns also emitted magical light, forming a dark light shield that enveloped her body.

Most of the power of the lightning was blocked outside the light shield, and a small amount of it leaked into the shield and hit her body.

Those who cannot endure will have their bodies disintegrate, while those who can endure will take the opportunity to be reborn and have their marrow cleansed.

Yuan Ruoshui was obviously the latter. Although Black Horn and Black Wing were burnt by the electric shock and their bodies were covered in blood, they managed to survive.

A light figure flew out from above her head, its features, shape and height were exactly the same as her real body. Its body quickly turned from virtual to real, and it grew black hair, black wings and black horns, and wore a Taoist robe and armor formed by magic power.

This is Yuan Ruoshui's Nascent Soul body. At this moment, it can completely exist apart from the body, turn the virtual into the real, and use some magical powers. Judging from the aura alone, low-level cultivators cannot even tell the difference between the two.

After Yuan Ruoshui's Nascent Soul body floated above his head twice, it drilled downwards and returned to his body.

His face became blurry, as if two faces were floating up and down, and even his body became blurry as if he had grown many hands and feet.

After a while, everything unusual finally disappeared, and Yuan Ruoshui opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.

At this time, the nine thunder dragons in the sky had dispersed, but the calamity clouds in the sky were still there.

Lu Ye knew that in order to achieve the true sainthood, he had to pass three levels. The first level was the level where the Nascent Soul body separated from the body and became independent. From then on, even if the physical body was destroyed, the Nascent Soul body could survive alone and he could then cultivate into a ghost immortal.

The second level is to leave the body and return to the main body, merging the two into one. At this point, the yin and yang energy in the body can be converted at any time, and then one can have the supernatural power to regenerate severed limbs.

When limbs are broken, the Nascent Soul's body can transform from yin to yang, stimulate the flow of Qi and blood, and then new limbs can be grown.

The third level is the Demon Level.

Lu Ye estimated that this would be the most difficult hurdle for Yuan Ruoshui to overcome.

Seeing the thunder in the sky dissipate, but the calamity clouds had not yet dispersed, Yuan Ruoshui stood still in the air for a moment, and his face was suddenly covered with black scales. He must have been pulled into the devil's illusion, and these black scales were still expanding and wriggling.

This demonic fantasy world must be very dangerous.

Lu Ye was still worried whether she could get through it safely.

But Yuan Ruoshui screamed "Ape Mother" miserably, then opened his eyes again, firmly and decisively. Without a trace of hesitation, a terrifying aura of magical power emanated from his body, and the area around him expanded, stopping when it was nearly five hundred feet.

A green light leaped out from above Yuan Ruoshui's head, and the light ball instantly turned into a flesh and blood body. It was another Yuan Ruoshui.

The difference between the two is completely indistinguishable with the naked eye.

Even a "low-level" cultivator like Lu Ye, using his spiritual sense at the level of Lianxu cultivation, could not confirm which one was the real body and which was the Dharma body.

At this time, the calamity clouds in the sky completely dissipated, proving that this time of transcendence calamity was over.

Yuan Ruoshui displayed terrifying magical aura in the air, as well as an outward-expanding field, and his Nascent Soul body could completely transform between reality and illusion.

It has been proven that this woman in the sky has achieved the fusion, and her life span will be 6,000 years! Yuan Ruoshui turned in the air and landed in front of Lu Ye.

"Are you Yuan Ruoshui, the Ice Phoenix, or the possessed demon?"

Lu Ye was very alert.

Although the calamity clouds dissipated, it did not mean that the cultivator had failed miserably.

Because the Nascent Soul body and the original body's soul are combined into one, some cultivators in the Fusion Realm fail, and their souls are replaced by demons, which possess and control their physical bodies and Nascent Soul bodies, and cause harm to the world.

Therefore, among all the realms of cultivation, cultivators who fail in this realm are most likely to cause terrible twists and turns.

Although because the flesh and the spirit cannot be completely compatible, the flesh will soon be exhausted and die, and the devil will also abandon this body.

But before his death, he still had 80% to 90% of the strength of a cultivator in the state of fusion, which was extremely terrifying. If someone wanted to sabotage him, he could do a lot of big things.

If the woman in front of him was Yuan Ruoshui, there would still be room for discussion; but if she was a demon, Lu Ye was already glancing around, thinking about a way to retreat.

Yuan Ruoshui smiled faintly. At this moment, her forehead was smooth and scaleless, and her thin body seemed to have more curves. She looked much more energetic than before. The black horns on her head and the black wings behind her were still pure black.

"My benefactor..." She bowed gently and said generously, "If I were a demon, and you are a body of merit, wouldn't I have to stay away from you?"

"If you don't believe me, you can look at me with your golden eyes..."

Lu Ye's eyes shot out golden light like pillars, covering his body. As expected, he saw nothing unusual. He then looked at it from the perspective of the fish and dragon picture and found that the light of the soul inside had not changed. Only then did he relax.

"Congratulations..." He changed his expression and said enviously, "Congratulations to Miss Er for achieving the status of a combined monk..."

"Let's write off our debts. I'm leaving now..."

Lu Ye Mali turned around and wanted to slip away, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

The Refined Ice Phoenix Evil Girl and the Combined Ice Phoenix Evil Girl are two different concepts.

The former can still make some gestures and regards himself as a benefactor, while the latter is a powerful monk whom he needs to look up to.

Lu Ye must humbly call himself a junior.

what?
If it weren't for my merit in saving you, how would you have any hope of reaching the fusion realm?
You are wrong to think so.

It should be that the fusion cultivator encountered a small disaster on the path of cultivation, and you happened to make a small contribution at the right time. Of course, it is best not to mention it at all, so as not to embarrass the fusion cultivator.

You know, it's hard to reward great merit. If the person who made the merit dies, there won't be so much trouble.

The desolate mountain chosen by Lu Ye was in a remote location, making it convenient for him to survive a tribulation and also for killing someone.

He didn't dare to gamble on the monk's character.

Who knows whether this Ice Phoenix lady, who is plagued by misfortune, abandoned by her biological parents at birth, hated and even assassinated by her own people, and ostracized, is a mentally twisted person?
Although she looks very much like Hun Jiu, she is obviously not a sweet girl like Hun Jiu who grew out of a sweet jar.

If he is a black-hearted person, then shouldn’t I send it myself?

“Wait a minute, benefactor…” Seeing Lu Ye trying to escape, Yuan Ruoshui, the Ice Phoenix, hurriedly flapped her wings to block Lu Ye’s way.

She was very smart and knew what Lu Ye was worried about at a glance.

"Benefactor..." she called out in a delicate voice, restraining the terrifying magical aura and domain around her, and in the blink of an eye, her aura returned to the level of the Void Refinement Stage.

"Who do you think I am?"

"I, Yuan Ruoshui, will repay favors and I know the difference between gratitude and resentment."

"If you hadn't successfully awakened me with your merits today, how would I have had the opportunity to transcend the calamity?"

"I don't know how dangerous the Heavenly Demon Tribulation Benefactor was just now..."

"That day the demon transformed into the appearance of my ape mother and led me to fall asleep. If I fell asleep, I would never wake up again."

"Thanks to my benefactor for using the Merit Spiritual Fluid to cleanse my spirit body, I was able to see through its true face and successfully overcome the calamity."

"Even if I become a Mahayana saint, my benefactor is still my benefactor, and there will never be the slightest change..."

Yuan Ruoshui spoke with true feelings.

The ape mother was indeed her only weakness, and the devil used it to create an illusion, which was difficult for her to resist.

It just so happened that when Lu Ye woke her up, he used the golden light of merit and the water of the fish and dragon river, both of which were very effective in restraining the devil.

Although there are not many remnants left in the spirit body, it is enough to wake up Yuan Ruoshui at the critical moment and discover the devil's tricks.

The ape mother kept beckoning Yuan Ruoshui to sleep, opening her arms. She behaved normally, but black air was coming out of her body and her eyes were green.

Yuan Ruoshui instinctively felt that something was wrong, and then he remembered that he was now undergoing the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. He screamed miserably to his Ape Mother, broke the Heavenly Demon illusion, and successfully survived the tribulation.

“I dare not…” Lu Ye smiled awkwardly, “What a mere merit, it’s not worth mentioning.”

"The heavens have allowed us to meet four times. They must have calculated that my merits would be useless if I kept them. The right thing to do is to use them on you."

"You don't have to thank me..."

Yuan Ruoshui chuckled and shook her head.

"Your merits didn't come from the wind. I just used them. How can I feel at ease using them for nothing?"

"My benefactor, if you have any difficulties, Ruoshui is willing to help you solve them..."

Lu Ye shook his head and thought to himself that you are the biggest problem, it would be good if you could leave on your own accord.

Yuan Ruoshui asked Lu Ye again who his enemy was and what his wish was, but Lu Ye just shook his head.

Finally, Yuan Ruoshui had no choice but to say that he would stay for a few days to refine the red armor and black stick for his benefactor.

Lu Ye couldn't refuse and could only accept it reluctantly.

at this time.

There were several huge beams of light coming from the horizon. It must be because Yuan Ruoshui's tribulation just now made too much noise, which attracted powerful cultivators from all directions.

Yuan Ruoshui didn't want to meet them, so he apologized to Lu Ye, grabbed his wrist, and instantly flapped his wings, holding Lu Ye, and turned into a flash of black lightning and disappeared into the sky.

Lu Ye was sandwiched by her arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The woman seemed to have a thin figure, and he wondered if she had successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and became a little plumper. However, it was a little inappropriate to have her arms sandwiched like this.

The other one's escape speed was already extremely fast when he was in the Void Refinement Stage, and now that he had reached the Fusion Stage, it had reached a terrifying speed, making it so fast that Lu Ye could hardly open his eyes.

He was secretly frightened, thinking that if he were to fight the enemy, he would be beheaded before he could even react.

Yuan Ruoshui took him flying thousands of miles away, found a barren mountain, dug two caves to be neighbors, and settled down first.

in this way.

A few months passed quickly.

In addition to practicing, the two of them had a bonfire barbecue and were served with fine wine. Yuan Ruoshui concentrated on using the infant fire to refine the red armor and black stick.

The material of her previous iron spear was excellent, but when she was undergoing the tribulation, it was refined by the heavenly thunder, destroying the original shape of the spear and evaporating most of the material.

The remaining small round lump of spiritual gold became top-notch material for refining weapons, which she generously incorporated into her red armor and black stick.

You should know that even though she had achieved the fusion state, she still lacked a true saint-level spiritual weapon, but she first refined weapons for Lu Ye, which shows her sincerity.
