The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 18 But I'm Just Waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation

At Tianyao Baoque, the auction was already more than halfway through.

Divine sources, ancient medicinal insects, nine-day divine jade, ancient cultivation scriptures... many treasures are displayed in the treasure palace, making the many cultivators who come to see the world jealous and feel that the trip is worthwhile.

In a certain VIP room of the Tianzi category, Yao Yuekong was chatting and laughing with a few young people, but a hint of absent-mindedness could be seen between his brows.

"Brother Yao, you seem restless today. What's the matter?" one of them asked curiously. He was the current candidate for the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land and had come to the Holy City to search for raw materials for casting tools.

"Could it be that one of the fairies from Miaoyu Temple has bewitched Brother Yuekong?" A prince from the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the four major dynasties in Zhongzhou, also made a teasing remark.

Yao Yuekong was stunned, shook his head and laughed, "Everyone is ineffective, they are just worried about the next auction of human Yuan fruit."

"Yuekong is joking. As soon as they got the news, all the noble families and holy places in the Eastern Wasteland came. Even three of the four great divine dynasties in Zhongzhou came, as well as many of the golden families in the Northern Plains. I think we can get a sky-high price."

"Human Yuan Fruit, a rare treasure in the world that can prolong life. If it is nurtured for thousands of years, it is said that it can become the Earth Life Fruit, comparable to the immortal elixir."

"I don't know if we can wait for a human Yuan fruit when we are so old." Someone sighed.

"I said the wrong thing." Yao Yuekong was about to drink three cups as punishment when the jade pendant on his body flashed repeatedly. He learned that the Yaoguang Stone Workshop had cut out a divine object. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? The stone workshop in the Yaoguang Holy Land cut out the seeds of the immortal medicine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of terrifying aura rose and fell in the auction house, and it was obvious that the news had also been received.

"Next, let's auction off the last item of the day, the Human Yuan Fruit."

The host of Baoque obviously had not received the news yet, and was passionately introducing the efficacy of the miracle medicine.

"Many noble families and holy places have come. My Lie family certainly has no chance to see the seeds of the magical medicine Renyuan Fruit." said a big man from a local family in the holy city.

"A casual cultivator actually dared to carve out such a divine object and treasure it for himself. He doesn't know whether he lives or dies." A young master from a certain aristocratic family sneered.

"The magical medicine seeds are certainly tempting, but the human essence fruit is the key. One of the elders in the sect is waiting to continue his peak years for another hundred years."

"Uncle Wang, I can't leave now. Please keep an eye on them and make sure no one runs away or is snatched away in advance." said the Seventh Prince of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

"...As long as you refine the life-extending elixir, even the Great King can prolong his life! Fight for another life on the path to immortality!"

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Starting price: 150,000 Pure Source!"

The host rang the bell enthusiastically, pushing the auction to a climax.

On the Holy City Avenue, Ning Qing strode towards the center as soon as he came out of the Yaoguang Stone Archway.

He had no intention of seeking refuge at Tianxuan Stone Archway, even though he knew that he would be able to escape danger under the protection of the Great Sage Wei Yi.

Perhaps it was because he was facing the ancient forbidden land that the old man still kept the appointment without fear, which awakened the impulsive beast in his heart.

What's more, if he can't even keep his fortune under the siege of the holy land families, he should give up some of his thoughts and seriously be Ye Fan's nanny, in the hope of sleeping in the fairyland in the future.

With his mind working, Ning Qingyi looked down at the surging emotions along the way, and his heart became more determined.

"If you can transform things, you will be like the Tathagata." Legend has it that the Buddha, through his telepathy, can discern the sufferings of all beings and liberate them. But in Ning Qingyi's hands, this magical power has become the supreme method of cultivating the mind.

Refining the body with a golden body of 16 feet, observing the nature of Tao through other people's minds, working tirelessly, and achieving success.

Ning Qingyi arrived at his destination and stopped near the ancient Daotai. He suddenly asked, "You have all been following me for a long time. Do you want to continue?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt through his telepathy that the gazes in the nearby Heavenly Palace were becoming more and more focused.

An old Taoist priest spoke first, "My dear friend, I am Zhao Yande, an elder of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. I heard that you have the seeds of the Qilin Immortal Medicine and the Ancient Insect Divine Source, and I would like to take a look at them."

"Oh, I thought you were going to say that the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous, and that I should offer them up obediently." Ning Qingyi said with a half-smile: "Beidou still has moral standards, unlike Xuanhuang, who always asks people to offer treasures and kneel down like dogs."

Zhao Yande frowned, "My friend, please don't talk nonsense. I am many years older than you and know that you are dazzled by the treasure. But if you are willing to hand it over to me, I promise that the Purple Mansion Holy Land will definitely accept you as a disciple of the Supreme Elder and treat you like a saint!"

"Hmph! A mere holy land dares to compete for the Great Emperor's sacred object." A great figure from the Immortal Divine Dynasty spoke up, walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with an aura that looked down on the world: "Boy, as long as you are willing to join my Holy Dynasty, I promise that you can at least marry the princess of the Divine Dynasty!"

"Hiss, it's Prince Lie of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, the brother of the Lord of the Divine Dynasty from the same mother, a figure comparable to the elders of the Holy Land." Someone revealed his identity.

"Indeed, he is qualified to make such a promise." Someone sighed.

"The elixir of immortality is really exciting. He is so lucky." Some people were jealous and crazy.

When Ning Qing heard what Prince Lie said, he was about to speak, but his mind gave him a warning. A great sense of crisis surged from all around, and he left the spot in an instant.

boom!
A mighty divine thought exploded, and the black divine power destroyed all obstacles, interweaving endless power of laws, causing the surroundings to tremble.

"Don't worry, my friend, I'm here to protect you!"

An elder of the holy land shouted and shot out a blazing light. The boundless pressure connected together and turned into huge stars in the universe, forming a murderous intent that completely enveloped Ning Qingyi.

The undisciplined Prince Lie roared and threw a punch. A divine picture emerged, as if to explain all the mysteries of the heavens.

Ning Qingyi felt a chill in his heart. Apparently, someone had realized that if things continued as planned, the seeds of the immortal medicine would only fall into the hands of the immortal inheritance, thus causing chaos.

Fortunately, he was not unprepared, and the delay time was enough.

"Good, good! Rumor has it that all the great emperors of old rose up on their own accord. Today, I, Bloody Hand Man-Slayer, have obtained the seeds of the immortal elixir. It seems that destiny is on my side!"

The divine source as big as a human head that had been being refined by the Luofu Ding was absorbing and exhaling essence. Ning Qing used the secret of the word combination, and endless essence communicated with the ancient Taoist platform.

In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, the entire divine city was trembling, and the brilliant light threads condensed into a huge magic circle, attracting fragments and essences of the eight directions of the avenue.

Everyone who was immobilized by the formation was unable to move for a moment and could only watch Ning Qingyi land on the ancient Taoist platform.

Everyone was shocked.

"He can actually activate the Ancient Dao Platform!"

"The Bloody Hand Butcher, could he be the cultivator wanted by the Thirteen Bandits?"

"Oh my god, is the good fortune of the Holy City going to be taken out today?"

Ning Qingyi turned a deaf ear to the outside world's comments. He simply stared at the nine flaws in the formation, quickly calculating something. As expected, the tokens scattered across the various holy places and aristocratic families were the landmarks leading to the correct location; if one was missing, one would never reach it.

No, the secret of word combination can turn decay into magic, but I just can't calculate it now. However, this does not hinder the ancient Taoist platform from crossing the void.

Ning Qing glanced at the divine light blooming at the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace. It was obvious that many important figures were heading there. There were many powerful saints there. If they were left behind, they might be able to cut off the passage, but it was obviously too late.

Ning Qingyi input the coordinates calculated in advance. The next second, he smiled brilliantly and used the Lihuo Divine Furnace to protect himself.

"Everyone, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we'll see you on the imperial road." Boom!
The light of the formation penetrated the sky and the earth, opening up a huge rift that swept him and everyone nearby away.

boom! boom! boom!
Figures exploded one after another, and many people died tragically. It was obvious that forcibly opening the formation was very dangerous.

"court death!"

"Leave me alone!"

In the distant sky, ray of divine light emerged one after another, transforming into a vast ocean of divine power that swept over. The entire holy city trembled as if it was about to be destroyed.

But when the light faded, the ancient platform remained motionless, only some people disappeared.

The Holy City was in uproar.

In a place hundreds of thousands of miles outside the Holy City, several cracks suddenly opened up, and rays of divine light fell out from them, like falling stars.

Boom!
The Lihuo God Furnace crashed onto the ground, making a metallic sound. Then the furnace cover quickly opened, and Ning Qingyi flew out covered in dust.

"Sure enough, the token is not only a coordinate, but also a barrier to cross the void. Fortunately, the Vulcan Furnace, a quasi-imperial weapon, is extraordinary, otherwise I might die on the way to transmission."

He sighed, and then his expression changed and he disappeared from where he was in an instant.

boom!
A blazing light streaked across the sky and earth, invisible murderous intent surged like a tide, terrifying waves erupted like a volcano, and an old monk walked over miserably.

"Boy, I didn't expect that you actually know the method to open the ancient Taoist platform. Give it to me quickly." He looked at Ning Qingyi with a vicious face. It was obvious that he suffered a great loss during the transmission process.

"He's not dead yet!" Ning Qingyi was surprised.

Before he could utter a second word of thanks, a golden scepter fell from the sky, breaking the mountains and rivers and shattering the sky!

The second old guy crawled out, and even seven or eight divine rays flew from the distant sky.

Ning Qingyi couldn't laugh. Although he could calculate that some people might come together, he didn't expect so many of them. It was obvious that he didn't study the secret of word composition in depth.

This group of people all looked extremely miserable, with missing arms and legs. The only thing they had in common was probably that they were older. The youngest one was also a middle-aged man. After surrounding Ning Qingyi, they all spoke.

"I didn't expect this guy to be a master of formations. Brothers, why don't you capture him first!"

"That's right. The Immortal Medicine seeds are hard to divide, but the Ancient Insect Divine Source is easy to divide. We can also extend our lifespan by a hundred years!"

"Yes, take him down first, otherwise something bad will happen if we delay."

Everyone was furious, but Ning Qingyi sensed that divine rays were flying outwards, apparently it was the gods of their Taoist Palace who were informing them.

These seven immortal immortals are really a headache.

Ning Qingyi said, "Seniors, could you please let me go?"

"You're dreaming! All the candidates for the Holy Son of my sect were dragged into this and died because of you. You must pay for it with your life!" said a man with red eyes. This was the blood and sweat of their lineage, and they died just for watching the fun.

"That's right, blood debt must be repaid with blood!" Another person roared, and it was obvious that someone had died too.

"If that's the case, then it's not my fault!" Ning Qingyi sighed, then said expressionlessly: "Taiyin Nine Palaces Formation, start!"

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in an area of ​​thousands of miles. Nine towering immortal pillars shot straight into the sky. The murderous intent burst out like a flood, like an ocean hitting the sky, and formed a boundless wave, covering the entire world, which made people tremble with fear.

This is a formation he improved after comprehending the Taiyin Sutra and combining it with the relics in Ge Hong's Taoist Canon. It is a formation that is mainly a trapping formation and supplemented by a killing formation. It is also the means he prepared for today.

Everyone changed color in anger and used their magic weapons to protect themselves. One person even used a small tower built with the Silver Moon Jade. The bright light in the sky dissipated Taiyin's murderous intent.

The cultivators from the Silver Moon Jade Tower exposed his true identity: "A Dao Palace cultivator is planning to kill Xiantai with a formation. You've heard too many stories!"

There was even someone who didn't say much and directly sent out a vast purple aura, which turned into the shape of a mountain and pressed down. It was Zhao Yande from the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Ning Qingyi used all his strength to activate the formation, and the formation patterns emerged from the void, diverting and dissipating all attacks, demonstrating his perfect control.

The secret of character formation is indeed profound.

"What a shame! As expected, with my strength, I can only succeed in attacking the immortal monks who preside over the killing formation by launching a surprise attack." He sighed deeply, "I'll give you all a quarter of an hour. If you let me leave now, everything will be fine."

The immortals all sneered and said nothing, but their spiritual thoughts were radiating wildly, obviously looking for flaws in the formation.

boom!
A large seal suddenly attacked from the void, and the divine pattern in the void suddenly became powerful, turning into a mountain to protect Ning Qingyi, and began to tremble.

One of them exclaimed in admiration: "Brother Dao's Great Void Technique is truly exquisite. Let's see how many hits this kid can withstand."

Another person also gradually calmed down and said, "I am quite knowledgeable about formations. Brothers, please help me test it. I will be able to break it in less than three quarters of an hour."

Upon hearing this, everyone attacked the Taiyin Nine Palaces Formation once again. All kinds of divine power transformed into various shapes, including the Divine Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, plants, fish, insects, etc. The laws of nature gradually became chaotic, and the formation suddenly became dark, as if a building was about to collapse.

Ning Qingyi waited in silence, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing. The experiences of the past few months since leaving the Fire Sect flowed through his mind. His mind was connected, and his heart of Taoism was wiped away by an unparalleled murderous intent.

His strange behavior made everyone secretly suspicious, but they continued to attack. Many nodes of the Taiyin Nine Palaces Formation were gradually broken, and the formation patterns were also erased. After a quarter of an hour, the power dropped by at least 30%.

At this time, Ning Qingyi stood up from the air and walked into the air step by step.

"What a pity! Seven immortal monks offered sacrifices to me."

He walked into his body, and the sea of ​​​​glory overflowed from his body. The four Taoist springs erupted like volcanoes, and the smoke of energy shot straight into the sky. The five-colored Taoist tripods vibrated together, and the divine sound of the Tao penetrated the heaven and earth. The exotic treasures were intertwined with sacred energy, and the colors of gold and jade were mixed all over his body, as if he was an innate sacred being.

"You think I can't leave, but I'm just waiting for the calamity."

As early as when he opened the Dao Ding in the Dao Palace, he had vaguely felt a sense of foreboding. His Dao heart seemed to be covered in dust, and he subconsciously avoided the word "Four Poles".

But when Xian Linglong blew out the true meaning of the door to eternal life, he realized his fate.

If a heart of Taoism is covered in dust from heaven and earth, then use human and heavenly tribulations to diligently wipe it away! I believe there must be great excitement between life and death!
Ning Qingyi looked up at the sky calmly. At this moment, the aura of disaster was surging and the world was silent.

The people on the immortal platform below held their breath, their faces filled with horror. As elders of the holy places and aristocratic families, they naturally knew what it meant to break through the four barriers. It was a symbol of walking the path to becoming a god!
boom!
Golden divine thunder fell from the sky!

All the immortal platforms immediately scattered and fled. Their cultivation had already reached the edge of breaking through, but they just didn't dare to go through the tribulation. Now they were trapped in the formation by Ning Qingyi, and the heavenly tribulation took effect, and it was obvious that it was going to settle accounts with them all.

"Come, please witness my path to becoming an emperor."

Ning Qingyi said leisurely.
