Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 842: Nine Nether Sword Qi, Ice and Fire Dragon Advancement (asking for monthly ticket)

Seeing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi had already started fighting with the black shadow, Song Qingyu did not hesitate any longer and immediately controlled the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" beside him and released a sword light towards the large formation outside.

Li Xuanyi's cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Golden Core, and he has a "corpse puppet" in the middle stage of the Golden Core to help him. His fighting ability is no less than that of an ordinary ninth-level Golden Core cultivator.

However, the black shadow "puppet" in front of him has an even higher level of cultivation. Although it has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is not far away. Its combat power is already equivalent to that of half a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After the two men fought, Li Xuanyi was quickly suppressed by the opponent as expected. He could only rely on the magic weapons and talismans in his hands for passive defense and was unable to counterattack his opponent.

Fortunately, this black shadow "puppet" didn't seem to be very intelligent in fighting. Apart from casting spells and attacking fiercely, it didn't use too many powerful magical powers.

Although Li Xuanyi was clearly at a disadvantage in the battle, fortunately he was still able to deal with the opponent for a while and did not get defeated quickly.

On Song Qingyu's side, he used three sword lights in succession, but he didn't want to fall into the white mist created by the formation in front of him. He only created a ball of spiritual light, but failed to break through the blockade of the formation.

Seeing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi had been forced into a disadvantage by the black shadow "puppet" and was unable to contend with the opponent for a long time, a trace of anxiety suddenly appeared on Song Qingyu's face.

"Qingyu, this ancient magic formation is difficult to break from the front. We must first find the centers of the formation around it and break it."

After hearing the reminder from senior sister Li Xuanyi, Song Qingyu knew that he had to stay calm now. He quickly calmed his mind, closed his eyes and began to search the surroundings with his spiritual sense.

Song Qingyu had practiced the "Soul-Devouring Art" in his clan before. Although his spiritual awareness was far inferior to that of his brother Song Qingming, it was still not inferior to that of the cultivators of the same level.

Not long after, Song Qingyu used his powerful spiritual sense to track the spiritual energy around the formation and found a place with unusual spiritual energy behind the pool.

After opening his eyes and looking carefully, Song Qingyu's gaze was immediately fixed on a piece of bluestone emitting a glimmer of light not far behind the pool.

After discovering the abnormality there, Song Qingyu's feet suddenly flashed with light and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant!

The next moment, Song Qingyu's entire figure appeared above the bluestone.

Looking at the ordinary-looking bluestone below, Song Qingyu quickly moved the magic power in her hand, and the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" not far above her head immediately split into seven pieces.

Afterwards, under Song Qingyu's full control, the seven "Xuanming Golden Light Swords" fell from mid-air to the position of Qingshi below with a powerful momentum.

All I heard was a series of loud "bang bang!" noises.

As soon as the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" touched the bluestone below, it was immediately covered by a cloud of white mist. Soon, a powerful aftermath formed by magic power came from all around, which created a dazzling white light and blocked Song Qingyu's eyes in mid-air.

After the white light dissipated, Song Qingyu saw that the bluestone below was not only still intact, but there was also a white light shield on it. Anger immediately appeared on his face when he failed to hit it.

"I want to see how hard you are!"

Song Qingyu uttered a light, and then a flash of spiritual light appeared on her body. The seven flying swords beside her transformed and instantly separated into seven human figures that looked exactly like her.

These clones are the "Sword Shadow Transformation Technique" that Song Qingyu had previously comprehended from the sword intent in his body.

However, as his cultivation level broke through to the late Jindan stage, the "Sword Shadow Spirit Technique" also increased from the previous five clones to seven, and its power also increased a lot.

After summoning all seven of his sword shadow clones, Song Qingyu closed his eyes and stood cross-legged in mid-air, then began to quickly gather the magic power in his body.

At the same time, the sword shadows of the clones beside Song Qingyu surrounded her and began to gather magic power, concentrating it on Song Qingyu who was sitting in the middle.

Just when Song Qingyu was concentrating on accumulating magic power, Li Xuanyi, who was fighting against the black shadow "puppet", was gradually defeated by the opponent. He was accidentally hit directly by a huge sword in the hand of the black shadow "puppet" and his body flew backwards immediately.

Although he quickly steadied his body in mid-air, the opponent's fierce attack still made Li Xuanyi unable to help but spit out blood from the corner of his mouth.

Not only that, a white jade magic weapon in front of Li Xuanyi was also cracked by the opponent's giant sword during the attack, and it broke into two pieces with a "bang", and it was obviously no longer usable.

Although this black shadow "puppet" has ordinary fighting skills, it can only rely on brute force to attack.

But the other party's cultivation was much higher than Li Xuanyi's after all, and he was a "puppet" and could use the formation to absorb mana continuously.

After a fight, Li Xuanyi was gradually overwhelmed, while the black shadow "puppet" became more and more courageous, making it difficult for her to support.

Seeing that this third-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon that had been with him for many years was destroyed by the opponent, Li Xuanyi had some reluctance on his face, but at this moment he didn't care about his magic weapon.

After taking a look at Song Qingyu not far away, Li Xuanyi's magic power moved, and he took out another green shield to protect himself. Then he took the initiative to step forward to stop the black shadow "puppet" that wanted to attack Song Qingyu not far away.

Now that Song Qingyu has found the center of the formation, even though he knows he can't defeat the opponent, Li Xuanyi must find a way to delay the black shadow "puppet" to buy time for Song Qingyu to break the center of the formation.

Otherwise, the two of them would be trapped in the formation, and if their magic power was insufficient to defeat the black shadow "puppet", they would definitely be dragged to death here.

While Li Xuanyi was fighting hard with the black shadow "puppet", Song Qingyu quickly accumulated the magic power he needed, opened his eyes and stood up.

The reason why he chose to spend time accumulating magic power at such a critical moment was because Song Qingyu knew that the solidity of the bluestone array eye was difficult to break by ordinary means, so he planned to use the most powerful magical power he had.

This magical power is called "Nine Nether Sword Qi" and was also comprehended by Song Qingyu from the "Xuanming Sword Art" he practiced after he formed the pill.

Back then, relying on the powerful magical power "Nine Nether Sword Qi", Song Qingyu severely injured and killed many opponents of the same level. Once it was used, it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to withstand it head-on.

However, in order to use the "Nine Nether Sword Qi", one needs to accumulate a large amount of mana in advance. This magical power is difficult to use when fighting head-on with others. It is usually only useful when launching a sneak attack or besieging the opponent.

After his cultivation broke through the late Jindan stage, Song Qingyu's control over the "Sword Shadow Spirit Technique" became much more proficient. Not only could he control these sword shadow clones to fight the enemy, but he could also let them help him absorb the surrounding spiritual power to accumulate mana.

It was also because of the help of the sword shadow clones created by the "Sword Shadow Spirit Transformation Technique" that Song Qingyu did not waste too much time and had already accumulated the mana needed to use the "Nine Nether Sword Qi".

After making preparations, Song Qingyu, knowing that time was running out, immediately cast a spell to merge the natal flying sword beside him into one huge flying sword.

Then Song Qingyu poured all the magic power that he had accumulated in his body into the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" in front of him in one breath, causing a powerful aura to burst out from his body immediately.

"Break it for me!"

As Song Qingyu swung his arm vigorously, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" immediately turned into a huge sword light more than ten feet high and flew straight to the center of the bluestone formation below.

In just a moment, the white light shield above the array's center was broken by the sword light transformed from the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword", and then the bluestone array's center below was directly shattered by the sword light.

After the center of the formation was destroyed, the white mist in front of Song Qingyu rolled immediately, and then became much lighter.

"Senior Sister Li, I have weakened the formation here. Come with me and rush out."

Seeing this scene, Song Qingyu was immediately delighted and quickly shouted to Li Xuanyi who was not far behind him.

Li Xuanyi, who was fighting against the black shadow "puppet", hurriedly threw out a third-level talisman to stop the opponent who was approaching step by step, and then flashed towards Song Qingyu's position.

After the two met up, they didn't dare to stay for long and rushed out directly from the weak point of the formation.

However, just as Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi rushed out of the platform, the black shadow "puppet" got rid of the entanglement of the talisman and immediately flashed out and followed them, chasing straight to their location, obviously not intending to let the other party go.
-
The immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, in the "Taiyue Lake" in the eastern part of Pei State.

On this day, the originally calm lake suddenly experienced a rolling wave, followed by a huge figure several dozen feet tall slowly emerging from the water.

This huge strange fish looked around and suddenly shrank dozens of times, transforming into a barefoot man covered in colorful scales that glowed with spiritual light.

The barefoot man seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his own appearance. He cast a spell in his hand and took out a golden crown full of gems and put it on his head. He looked at himself in the water and then showed a satisfied smile.

After tidying up his clothes, the barefoot man raised his hand and waved, and seven or eight huge golden elixir demon kings immediately flew out of the water and knelt down in front of him respectfully.

The barefoot man glanced at the many demon kings in front of him and said calmly:

"Listen to my orders, follow me and destroy the Zhenyang Sect today!"

"I will follow the orders of the ancestor!"

Hearing what the barefoot man said, the many demon kings below hurriedly bowed their heads and responded in unison.

Not long after, the water in the east of the entire "Taiyue Lake" suddenly surged, and countless monsters followed the tide and moved eastward, quickly submerging many islands on the east bank of the "Taiyue Lake".
-
Half a month later, the Song family went to "Funiu Mountain".

On this day, the originally clear sky of "Funiu Mountain" was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sky suddenly became dark.

When the many cultivators of the Song family on the mountain saw this scene, they all showed some surprise.

The spring rainy season has long passed now, and this kind of changeable weather should not occur at this time.

Seeing the sudden change in the wind and clouds in the sky and the imminent rainstorm, the mortals who were still farming at the foot of the mountain immediately stopped working and hurried back to their homes.

Huang Siyuan was in the vegetable garden at the foot of the mountain, taking care of the fruits and vegetables she planted with a serious expression on her face, as if she didn't notice the strange scenery above the sky.

Not far from her, a red spirit rat suddenly ran towards her. "Master, look, it looks like something is about to undergo a catastrophe on the mountain."

Huang Siyuan came back to her senses after hearing the loud cries of the spirit beast "Chiyan" next to her, and looked up at the strange scenery in the sky.

"You said this is someone going through a tribulation?"

Facing the doubtful look on Huang Siyuan's face, "Chi Yan" quickly replied in a serious tone:

"Yeah! It was like this when I was forming the elixir before. I can smell the scent of thunder tribulation, so I can't be wrong!"

Huang Siyuan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she smiled and put away the basket at hand.

"It's going to rain, let's go back first!"

Holding the "Red Flame" beside him in his hand, Huang Siyuan then stepped on the escape light and flew up, turning into a beam of escape light and passing through the "Mountain Protection Array" not far away.

As soon as she reached the top of the mountain, Huang Siyuan saw a figure in a green robe standing in mid-air, and she quickly moved to his side.

"My lord, is this a sign that it is about to undergo a catastrophe?"

Hearing Huang Siyuan's question, Song Qingming nodded quickly and said, "Yes, he had been in seclusion for so long before, I thought this guy was a little sleepy again.

I didn't expect it to reach the stage of transcending tribulation so quickly. It seems that I have underestimated its talent.

If it can successfully survive the thunder tribulation this time, the family will have another golden elixir helper. I feel like our luck has been a little too good lately."

The person who was going to survive the tribulation that Song Qingming mentioned was not a cultivator from the Song family, but the spirit beast "Ice and Fire Dragon" that had followed him for many years.

The "Ice and Fire Dragon" is a spiritual beast with a powerful bloodline. After being enlightened by the Fire Phoenix, its cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary monsters of the same level.

After only a hundred years, the cultivation of "Ice and Fire Dragon" had made great progress and successfully cultivated to the stage of forming a pill.

Of course, in addition to the powerful bloodline of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" itself, the fact that the "Ice and Fire Dragon" can cultivate so quickly is also inseparable from the credit of its master Song Qingming.

Since obtaining this spiritual beast, Song Qingming has spent a lot of money on elixirs and spiritual objects on it. If all of them were converted into spiritual stones, the total amount would be at least more than 100,000.

This does not even include the "All-Spirit Dew" it has swallowed, the value of which is difficult to measure with spirit stones.

It is precisely because of the master Song Qingming, who spared no effort and spent a large amount of spirit stones in its cultivation, that the "Ice and Fire Dragon" was able to have a cultivation speed that is no less than that of human cultivators, and in just a hundred years, it cultivated to the stage of Golden Elixir Tribulation.

Unlike human cultivators who have formed their golden elixir, demon beasts do not need the essence of heaven and earth to temper their golden elixir after forming their golden elixir. Instead, they directly use heavenly fire and divine thunder to temper their own golden elixir, which is also called the golden elixir tribulation.

However, this kind of golden elixir tribulation will also cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and the rain of heavenly fire and divine thunder.

But this kind of heavenly fire divine thunder actually looks no different from ordinary lightning on the surface, and its power cannot be compared with the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation that cultivators have gone through.

Even if one fails to refine the golden elixir during the tribulation, at most one's cultivation will regress to the foundation-building stage, and there will be no danger to one's life.

When a demon beast is tempering its own golden elixir in the divine thunder of heavenly fire, the noise it produces will also be much smaller, and far less noticeable than the thunder tribulation of the Nascent Soul.

If the cultivators were far away and didn't pay attention, they would not know that it was a monster undergoing a tribulation, and would mistakenly think that the weather in "Funiu Mountain" was just changeable!
As the dark clouds gathered more and more in the sky above, the entire mountaintop became extremely dark as if it was night.

There was a loud "boom!" and a white lightning flashed down from the dark clouds. At the same time, a golden ball with bright light also rose up in the forest below.

This golden sphere is the golden elixir that the "Ice and Fire Dragon" has condensed after years of seclusion. It was instantly enveloped by the lightning in the sky.

Seeing the "Ice and Fire Dragon" not far away using the Heavenly Fire Thunder to temper its own golden elixir, Song Qingming couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.

Just like human cultivators who have reached the stage of refining the golden elixir, the monsters that have reached the stage of tempering the golden elixir will basically not fail in forming the golden elixir, except for a very small number of those with extremely bad luck.

Moreover, when it is undergoing the tribulation on "Funiu Mountain", it has Song Qingming, a ninth-level Jindan master, to protect it. Even if it is discovered, no one would dare to come here and cause trouble.

Half a day later, as the thunder gradually disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky also gradually dissipated. Soon, a very dazzling colorful glow appeared in the sky high in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan knew that the "Ice and Fire Dragon" had successfully survived the tribulation, and they hurriedly flew towards the woods ahead.

Just as they arrived above the woods, before Song Qingming and the others landed, a huge dragon that was more than ten feet long flew out from the forest below and stopped in front of them.

"Master, I have successfully advanced."

Hearing the strange voice coming out of the mouth of this huge "Ice and Fire Dragon", Song Qingming's face showed a little surprise, and after a while he smiled and nodded at it.

Just like the "Red Flame" on Huang Siyuan's body, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" had awakened its intelligence in advance, and after forming the pill, it could also speak human language. Although Song Qingming was a little surprised, he quickly understood.

However, "Chi Yan" who was standing on Huang Siyuan's shoulder saw this scene, stared at "Ice and Fire Dragon" in disbelief and asked:
"It's you who's talking. I didn't expect that a stupid snake like you could actually speak!"

"Who are you calling stupid? I am of noble dragon bloodline, why can't I speak?"

Hearing that "Chi Yan" looked down on him, "Ice and Fire Dragon" who had just successfully formed a pill immediately replied with some annoyance.

Hearing this, "Red Flame" laughed again and said, "What noble bloodline? You just formed your elixir. Look how proud you are. Do you really think you are so capable?"

"Humph! How dare you say that to me."

"What's wrong with you? If you don't agree, why don't you try to fight?"

The two Jindan spirit beasts started quarreling in front of Song Qingming and the others, and finally they started making gestures to each other in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan smiled slightly, and did not try to stop it. They just stood aside and watched.

There was no one else on the top of the mountain except Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan. There was only a forest and no other buildings around the battlefield, so there was no need to worry that their fight would cause much impact.

Song Qingming and the others also wanted to take this opportunity to see the abilities of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" after forming the pill, and how much its strength would improve.

Previously, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" in the Foundation Establishment Realm did not have any powerful magical powers, and could only use some relatively low-level ice and fire spells. However, its physical body and bloodline were indeed much more powerful than those of ordinary monsters, and it could gain a lot of advantages against human cultivators of the same level.

The "Ice and Fire Dragon" did not disappoint Song Qingming after forming the elixir. Although it had just succeeded in forming the elixir, the magic powers it used were far beyond what it could do when it was in the foundation-building stage.

However, although the bloodline power of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" is more powerful, it has just successfully formed a golden elixir. Its cultivation strength is far inferior to that of the "Red Flame" which has already formed a golden elixir for many years and has advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

After a fight, as expected, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" was defeated in the end, and could only hide behind its master Song Qingming with some frustration.

"You have just formed your elixir, and your cultivation has not yet stabilized completely. Go to the cave to retreat first, and don't use your magic power at will!"

After hearing Song Qingming's order, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that had just been defeated nodded timidly, then hurriedly made its body smaller, and then drilled into a cave not far below.

Seeing this scene, the victorious "Chi Yan" couldn't hide his joy on his face, and he kept talking proudly to his master Huang Siyuan.

However, Huang Siyuan couldn't help herself when she heard her talking endlessly. She threw it back into the spirit beast bag and turned to Song Qingming and said:
"My dear husband, I am so happy today. Why don't you come with me and have a cup of tea?"

"As it should be!"

The two of them flashed and fell from mid-air, and then walked together towards the "Huixian Pavilion" on the other side of the mountain top.

Just as Song Qingming and the other person were talking and laughing as they walked slowly in the mountains, a red light suddenly flew in from a distance, passed through the mountain protection formation, and landed below the top of "Funiu Mountain".

Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who happened to see this scene, looked at each other and both of them showed a look of surprise on their faces.

"Husband, this seems to be an emergency sound transmission note used by the sect for communication. Could something have happened?"

Seeing a trace of worry on Huang Siyuan's face, Song Qingming was silent for a moment, then shook his head and replied:

“The sect has just signed a ceasefire agreement with the Jiuyuan Sect, and the north has been peaceful. I can’t guess what the emergency is.

It doesn't matter. When Yuan Fang and the others deliver the letter, we should know what happened."

Seeing this, the two of them no longer had the desire to wander around the mountains, and walked quickly towards the "Huixian Pavilion". Not long after, Song Qingming and the others saw Song Yuanfang personally appear in front of them with the letter he had just received, as expected.

After taking the letter and opening it, Song Qingming's originally relatively calm face slowly revealed a solemn look, and he quickly handed it to Huang Siyuan beside him.

"This is a letter sent by Junior Sister Xu herself. Something big happened in Taiyue Lake in the south. We are asked to go to the sect to discuss the matter immediately!"
