Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 226 The Demonic Tribulation is Coming
An hour later, Zhao Shuang used the prepared gold-eating insects to exchange for a large amount of Styx Divine Milk from the old man Xu Ling.

This is of great benefit to him now, not for himself, but for his confidantes, Taoist companions, concubines and other women who have relationships with him.

As their husband and Taoist partner, Zhao Shuang naturally has to think about them, especially when the demonic calamity is about to occur.

If one wants to survive this catastrophe that concerns the life and death of all races, the fusion stage is the minimum requirement.

In fact, even in the Mahayana stage, there is a possibility of falling.

However, Zhao Shuang naturally would not let his Taoist partner, confidante, and concubine die.

All preparations have been made long ago, and the Styx Milk is just one of them.

These things are enough to allow most women to break through the fusion stage. Even if their aptitude cannot be broken through due to the time spent on training, he has a way to protect them.

In short, nothing will happen to him.

After saying goodbye to Qing Yuanzi, Zhao Shuang and Elder Jin Yue left and returned to Diyuan.

As soon as he returned to the Tianpeng Clan, Zhao Shuang, accompanied and served by the warm elder Jin Yue, naturally took out a batch of Styx Divine Milk and gave it to the other party.

"There are five bottles of Styx Divine Milk in here, which are enough for you to advance to a higher level and even attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage. As long as you break through to the Mahayana stage, the Tianpeng clan will be able to rest easy for more than 100,000 years from now."

Zhao Shuang took out five bottles of Styx Divine Milk and stuffed them into the arms of Elder Jin Yue, smiling gently.

"Thank you, my husband. Why don't you stay with our tribe and return to the human race after the demonic calamity is over? As for my sisters in the human race, please take them over. I will take good care of them."

Elder Jin Yue rolled his eyes at Zhao Shuang before taking out the Styx Divine Milk from his arms and giving a soft suggestion.

After all, the Feiling tribe does not need to endure the devil's calamity, so it is a relatively safe place.

Moreover, since Zhao Shuang is in the Tianpeng clan, she can rest assured to break through to the Mahayana stage.

At the very least, the Tianpeng clan won’t be in any trouble.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Although this demonic calamity is a catastrophic disaster, it also contains many opportunities and fortunes that cannot be missed. Moreover, if I leave the human race, the human race will inevitably suffer a great loss. Therefore, this is absolutely impossible."

Zhao Shuang shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"In that case, my husband must be more careful."

Hearing Zhao Shuang's resolute words, Elder Jin Yue stopped trying to persuade him.

"Of course, but I still have a lot of time. I can stay with you in the tribe for the next few years."

Zhao Shuang nodded and smiled, speaking meaningfully.

"Pooh!"

Hearing this, Great Elder Jin Yue's cheeks turned red and he spat, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he climbed down.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang was overjoyed and continued to fight hard.

……

Time flies, it’s gone in the blink of an eye!
Zhao Shuang stayed in the Tianpeng tribe for five or six years before leaving. During this period, in addition to the Tianpeng tribe, he also visited many Feiling tribes one by one, especially those Feiling tribes who were friendly or hostile to the Tianpeng tribe.

And most of the women from the Feiling tribe were taken in by Zhao Shuang, especially those from the Yelv tribe who were beautiful and graceful.

As for the Tianpeng Clan, there were basically even more. In addition to the great elder Jin Yue, there were also several female elders in the Fusion Stage who were accepted by Zhao Shuang.

During this period, the help of Jin Yue, the great elder of the Tianpeng clan, was naturally indispensable.

It can be said that Zhao Shuang's days in the Feiling tribe were very absurd, but it did not delay his cultivation. On the contrary, his cultivation improved a lot. It is not an exaggeration to say that he made great progress every day.

However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the late stage of fusion. This is a big bottleneck, and it is not easy to break through.

Especially for a person like Zhao Shuang who is already against the will of heaven, it is extremely difficult and dangerous. But once he breaks through, even if he faces a Mahayana cultivator, he has the confidence to defeat him or even kill him.

You don't need to use too many cheats during this period, three or five are enough.

In this way, another three hundred years passed.

Three hundred years is just a fleeting moment for the entire spiritual world.

For mortals, this lifespan is simply unimaginable. It is probably as long as five or six generations.

For high-level cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, this is also a period of time that cannot be ignored.

But for the entire human race, these three hundred years have brought about earth-shaking changes.

Today, every area of ​​the human race's imperial capital in the third realm and every city area is filled with body-refining warriors.

There are also tens of thousands of fortresses and cities, and with these cities as the core, there are all kinds of formations and restrictions, like spider web cocoons, wrapping the cities layer by layer, which makes many monks feel at ease.
But for high-level cultivators, especially those in the fusion stage who had experienced the last demonic calamity, this level of protection could only last for a few days, or even just a few breaths, and was almost unable to withstand the demon army. But even so, they had to put all their efforts into building it.

Because they are facing the demonic calamity, a vast catastrophe that is enough to destroy and exterminate the entire race, they must give their all and not allow for any carelessness.

Because if you are careless, what awaits you is the collapse of the entire city or even the entire race.

No one wants to see such consequences, and no one can bear them, not even the ancestors in the Mahayana stage.

What marks a race's loss of resistance is the death of a Mahayana ancestor.

Throughout history, both the human and demon races had experienced the death of their Mahayana ancestors more than once. Fortunately, the alliance between the two races did not result in the simultaneous death of Mahayana ancestors from both races.

It is because of this that the two races have been able to survive in this vast spiritual world for millions of years.

In addition, the cultivators in the Jindan and Yuanying stages are no longer as elusive as before.

The frequency of their appearances among mortals was also increasing. Occasionally, there were even cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage who presided over the overall situation of the city and arranged the formations.

Besides the immortal cultivators, the number of mortals who practiced physical cultivation and armor increased rapidly, and there were also many more types of weapons.

Most importantly, numerous profound and mystical martial arts emerged within mortal cities, allowing mortals to possess astonishing strength and martial arts surpassing those of Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators, even rivaling those of Huashen stage cultivators. Most importantly, the availability of elixirs that allowed mortals to possess spiritual roots also increased. Naturally, the number of cultivators practicing both magic and physical cultivation also increased, and the overall strength of the human race grew at an astonishing rate.

However, due to time constraints, the number of high-level cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage and the Fusion Stage has not increased much. Although the number has increased, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the entire race.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there are a new batch of high-level ancient beasts in the Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refining Stage, and Fusion Stage, which greatly increases the strength of the human and demon races.

And all these changes originated from Zhao Shuang.

But the only people who knew about it were Zhao Shuang and the Xu family, Gu family, Ye family and other families related to Zhao Shuang.

And these families are also the families with the fastest overall strength improvement among all the families of the human race. Almost everyone has spiritual roots.
Almost all the family members who have just acquired spiritual roots have chosen the path of dual cultivation of magic and body, striving to gain more strength during the devil's calamity.

Now, the news of the impending demonic calamity has spread throughout the entire human race, and even three-year-old children know about it.

In addition, envoys from the Holy Island appeared in the major cities of the human and demon races, announcing that the demonic calamity would arrive in no more than two hundred years. It would be far more severe than in the past, and if one was not careful, the entire human race would be destroyed.

Therefore, after this news came out, all kinds of materials and elixirs in the major markets of the human and demon races were quickly swept away.

Only in the medicine gardens of the major sects and families are there some spiritual medicines being grown.

These spiritual medicines are also different from the rare spiritual medicines that were planted before. Most of them have been replaced by spiritual herbs and flowers that have a short maturity period but are the most commonly used.

As for some things that the major forces had previously tried to hide, they now appeared in the world like a blowout.

Some forces even began to frequently exchange the secret techniques they needed, in an attempt to improve their strength in a short period of time.

Of course, the largest forces among the human race are naturally Tianyuan City and the three imperial cities.

The former gathers the elites of both the human and demon races, and is guarded by ten great combined cultivators, making it basically as stable as Mount Tai.

The latter is a gathering of high-level cultivators from the three realms, and is guarded by the Three Emperors themselves. It is also unbreakable in the minds of ordinary people.

The slightly weaker forces are naturally the ten major sects and three true spirit families among the human race. They also attract a large number of mortals and independent cultivators to gather quickly. In just a few hundred years, the population has increased more than tenfold, almost reaching the limit they can accept.

Besides the human and demon races, all nearby tribes were equally vigilant, pouring all their efforts into the fight, seemingly ready to burn their boats. Over the past three hundred years, each tribe had frequently dispatched messengers to relay crucial information related to the demonic calamity, each appearing to be fully prepared to face this calamity.

Zhao Shuang generously distributed the many resources he obtained from the Demon Refining Pot to families related to him, such as the Xu family, the Gu family, and the Ye family.

Although about half of them were swallowed by various tribes, the remaining ones still greatly enhanced the strength of the entire human and demon tribes, and even the nearby tribes.

In particular, various precious and almost extinct resources, elixirs, and magic medicines have caused waves of unrest, and even considerable conflicts have occurred among various races. However, facing the threat of the impending demonic calamity, these conflicts are simply insignificant.

It was directly pacified by the cultivators in the fusion stage of various races.

Naturally, the Xu family, the Ye family, the Gu family and other families related to Zhao Shuang also became the objects of dependence of most sects and families, especially the various True Spirit families. In the past, they were dominated by the Long family, but now they are all dominated by the Gu family and the Ye family.

This naturally brings many benefits.

Therefore, the defense of the Zhenling family is mainly based on the Ye family, supplemented by the Gu family. Many formations, various prohibitions, spiritual treasures, Tongtian spiritual treasures, and even imitations of Xuantian treasures, talismans, and many other treasures come from Zhao Shuang.

Especially in terms of formation restrictions, they are basically not spirit world formation restrictions, but are mainly based on the "Eternal Life" formation, supplemented by many other worlds, completely turning the "Doomsday Fortress" built by the True Spirit Family into the safest place for the entire human and demon races.

Even if the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm attacked personally, it would take at least 1,800 years to break through. Such a long time was enough for Zhao Shuang to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Therefore, in order to preserve the bloodline of the human and demon races as much as possible, the True Spirit family did their utmost to accept independent cultivators, sects, families, and demon races. It can be said that they accommodated a thousand times more people than the entire True Spirit family. If they were not careful, they might be overturned from within.

In addition to these, a shocking event happened to the demon clan. The Kuiyue Wolf King, one of the seven demon kings, died.

That’s right, he was dead. He was killed by an ancient wolf-like beast in the late stage of fusion.

This incident even directly alarmed Ao Xiao, the ancestor of the demon clan in the Mahayana stage.

However, Ao Xiao did not do anything to the ancient beast. Instead, he handed over the position of wolf king of the wolf clan to the ancient beast wolf king.

At the same time, he asked his granddaughter Linglong to assist and lead the entire wolf clan to deal with the upcoming disaster.

The Silver Moon Wolf Clan has become the demon clan that has received the most resources from the Gu family, the Xu family, and the Ye family, and its strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

Princess Linglong's breakthrough to the Fusion Stage shocked many high-ranking cultivators of both the demon and human races. However, the most pressing issue at the moment was the Demonic Tribulation, and having another Fusion Stage cultivator was a great thing, so no one pursued the matter.

As for Zhao Shuang, he now had another confidante to serve him.

Maybe Ao Xiao had some objections, but Princess Linglong, or rather, Yin Yue, had no objections.

On the contrary, he got from Zhao Shuang the most suitable skills for his physique, and Zhao Shuang spared no effort to teach him everything he knew, so he made rapid progress.

If the devil's calamity had come a hundred or eighty years later, Yin Yue would have been confident of breaking through to the middle stage of fusion. It is conceivable how many years this physique and martial arts technique have been compatible.

However, even so, progress is still rapid.

As for Zhao Shuang, his strength and realm have naturally improved by leaps and bounds, but compared to the late stage of fusion, there is still a lot behind.

It is basically impossible to break through before the demonic calamity.

Because of the devilish calamity, to be more precise, the devilish spots have appeared.

The so-called magic spot is not black, but a huge gray spot.

Once it appears, it will spread and erode the surrounding space.

In addition, there will be a strong spatial fluctuation that will spread in all directions.

It often only takes a few breaths for the magic spot to expand three or four times its size.

The gray haze was enough to dim the entire world, as if something was rapidly eroding the entire sky.

And this is just the beginning. After all, the appearance of this magic spot means that the spiritual world and the demon world will merge and collide. Once the fusion reaches a certain degree, it will indicate the coming of the demonic calamity. All races within the range of the magic spot will face a demonic calamity that is enough to destroy the entire race.

This catastrophe terrified the entire human race.
