The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 126 The Heart of the Strong

"This……"

A barely perceptible uneasiness flashed across the eyes of the withered grass fairy.

"Originally... it was only Sister Lancao. Sister Lancao has also broken through to the late stage of Earthly Immortal in recent years, and I am also in the late stage of Earthly Immortal."

"Besides, we have always lived in seclusion in the Hundred Graves Mountain. Two late-stage Earth Immortals are more than enough."

"Huh?" Lei Zhan was stunned and turned to look at the Orchid Fairy who was also sitting in the hall.

He did indeed break through to the late stage of Earth Immortal.

Can he be a protector of the way?
As for what Fairy Kucao said about the deity protecting the Dao...

Although the original body and the second soul are considered two independent individuals when going through the heavenly tribulation, the heavenly tribulation is divided into four major tribulations. The first three tribulations of wind, fire and thunder are relatively easy to deal with.

After all, the second soul's tribulation cannot have any impact on the original body, and few people will follow the person who is undergoing the tribulation to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

Rashly going through the three tribulations of wind, fire and thunder will make it much more difficult for the person to go through the tribulation, but the person himself will be regarded by the tribulation as relying on external forces and will be punished by the "heaven".

The terrifying power of heavenly punishment is such that even the true gods and Taoist ancestors are at risk of falling, and no one is willing to face it.

Therefore, problems usually arise after going through the three tribulations of wind, fire and thunder, and then reaching the fourth tribulation of the inner demon!

However, when overcoming the inner demon tribulation, it can also have an impact on the original body. This so-called second soul of the original body protecting the way is naturally a bit far-fetched.

"Now, don't we have Fellow Daoist Leizhan?" Fairy Kucao smiled. "After all, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand Fellow Daoist!"

"Me?" Leizhan nodded, but was thinking secretly in his heart.

According to the original time and space line, even without his protection, the Fairy Kucao would eventually overcome the tribulation and become an immortal, and then quickly became a Pure Yang True Immortal, and later directly stood in the Wujian Sect camp.

However... I haven't heard of the existence of a second soul...

Lei Zhan shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

"Fellow Daoist Kucao, has the time for your tribulation journey been set? When are you planning on going through it?"

"The time is set for half a month later!"

Fairy Kucao picked up the white jade wine cup in front of her, filled with the Hundred Flowers Immortal Brew, and took a sip. "My Second Soul will be preparing to transcend the tribulation in half a month. This is also one of the most appropriate times I have ever felt."

"Half a month later? That's almost enough." Lei Zhan nodded.

With a flip of his hand, a jar as white as a moon appeared in his hand.

"Everything is just right. This wine is prepared just for you, fellow Taoist."

"Hmm? Wine?" Fairy Kucao looked over curiously. "Could it be that fellow Daoist Daoist has finished the Hundred Flowers Fairy Wine I brewed?"

Fairy Kucao took a quick look and was able to deduce some clues from the slight details on the wine jar. This wine was left by a woman.

"Hahaha!" Leizhan burst out laughing. "Of course not. This wine is a rare treasure. You'll know after you taste it with Lancao."

"A rare treasure?" Fairy Kucao was surprised.

"Is there a share for me?" Orchid Fairy was surprised.

"This wine is usually only effective the first time you drink it. This jar is enough to share with many people. As for the effects..."

Leizhan had a faint smile on his face, but said nothing more. This effect had to be experienced in person to be truly surprising!
With a wave of his hand, the moon-white wine jar in Leizhan's hand flew towards the Fairy of Withered Grass.

"Then I'll lend you my flowers." The withered grass fairy nodded. She grabbed the wine jar and poured a glass for Leizhan first, then for the orchid fairy and herself.

A glass of good wine enters the stomach.

"Hmm? This wine..." Fairy Kucao was stunned.

Even with Lei Zhan's reminder, the extremely cold and cool feeling at that moment, and even the various wonderful feelings that followed, made the Dry Grass Fairy close her eyes for a moment.

The Orchid Fairy on the side, on the other hand, was much less intelligent. She drank a glass of wine but didn't react at all.

"I, this..." Orchid Fairy looked at her sister beside her, then turned around and looked at Lei Zhan eagerly.

"Just have a few more drinks!" Leizhan suddenly smiled and pointed in the distance. A stream of water suddenly gushed out of the jar of moon-white wine placed on the table in front of the Fairy Kucao.

When the wine was poured into the cup, Orchid Fairy picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, smacking her lips, as if she had not yet tasted the flavor.

"Come again!" Lei Zhan pointed again, and the celestial wine like nectar flowed out from the jar again.

After drinking several cups in a row, the Orchid Fairy slowly closed her eyes.

Wow~~~
Suddenly, the aura of Tao permeated the entire hall.

"Both Daoists, Kucao and Lancao, are incarnations of plant spirits. With the help of this Moon Palace Immortal Brew, their understanding of the Dao of Water will be even deeper, and their foundation will surely be even more profound."

"In this way, the chances of overcoming the heavenly tribulation will be much greater."

Leizhan slowly savored the wine in the glass, occasionally looking up at the two people who were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, looking leisurely and comfortable.

Time passes bit by bit.

Lei Zhan was still sitting in the hall drinking fine wine, and from time to time he would contemplate the spearmanship and the secret art of time and space.

Lei Zhan always needed that one moment of opportunity to fully grasp the great way of the spear. And in just three years at Fangcun Mountain, the energy in the black bead hadn't accumulated enough to achieve a sudden enlightenment.

Now Leizhan can’t achieve enlightenment by relying on the black beads. He can only slowly grind and comprehend it by himself.

Although the process is slow, it is a wonderful one. It is not accomplished in one go, but is accumulated bit by bit, like gathering sand into a tower.

Ultimately, it will produce enough knowledge to allow one to fully comprehend the great way of the gun, thus bringing about a qualitative transformation!
In this way, Leizhan also felt that time passed very quickly.

Just over seven or eight days.

The Orchid Fairy, with a happy look on her face, woke up first.

"Leizhan, your wine is truly a treasure. I can feel my understanding of the Dao of Water becoming increasingly profound. It has allowed me to directly comprehend two more Daos that were at bottlenecks."

The Orchid Fairy looked at Lei Zhan, her eyes as bright as stars.

"Even the Great Dao... has greatly enhanced my understanding of the Source Water Great Dao. Now, I have finally reached the level of the Great Dao Realm!"

"Well! Not bad, not bad!" Leizhan had a faint smile on his face.

Fairy Lancao comprehended two paths in succession, and the Source Water Avenue also reached the realm of the Avenue. Although this level of comprehension of the Avenue was nothing compared to Zhan, it was already very good among ordinary earthly immortals.

This level of enlightenment can generally reach at least the level of a 100,000-year-old immortal.

After a few more days, the withered grass fairy slowly opened her eyes.

"Huh? Awake?" Leizhan looked over.

Fairy Kucao also glanced over at the same moment. "Fellow Daoist, this wine is truly extraordinary. This wine has directly pushed my understanding of the Source Water Avenue to an extremely deep level. The same is true for the Kan Water Avenue..."

"Comprehension of two great ways of water?" Lei Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This Moon Palace Immortal Wine is just the icing on the cake. If you hadn't accumulated enough in your daily life, it wouldn't have such a miraculous effect."

Just like the Water Palace that Lei Zhan initially obtained, the Star Palace also has the function of helping one to attain enlightenment. However, if one wants the Star Palace to work, it also depends on one's daily accumulation and understanding.

If you don’t accumulate enough knowledge in your daily life, it will be like building castles in the air. It is not easy to realize anything just by sitting in meditation.

"Moon Palace Immortal Wine? After taking a sip, I really felt like I was in the Moon Palace." Fairy Kucao smiled. "Now with the help of fellow Daoist, my second soul is much more confident in overcoming the heavenly tribulation." "Not only sister, I have also comprehended two paths in succession. The Source Water Avenue has also reached the realm of the Great Dao." Fairy Lancao's eyes also gleamed. "When I overcome the heavenly tribulation in the future, maybe I can also overcome the tribulation and become an immortal."

"Hahaha." Leizhan and the withered grass fairy looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Fairy Kucao looked at the two people in the hall and said, "Three days later. Three days later, we will go to the place where the tribulation is passed. That will also be the time for me to pass the tribulation!"

"Okay." Leizhan nodded.

……

Three nights later.

The Jade Rabbit rose high in the sky, and the cold moonlight completely enveloped the entire Hundred Graves Mountain.

Thousands of feet high in the sky, a group of three people appeared in the clouds.

"Since you are here, let's just go!" The Fairy of Dry Grass smiled and looked at the two of them.

"Let's go." Leizhan also nodded.

The matter of transcending the tribulation was extremely secretive, and the location of the tribulation was chosen by the withered grass fairy, so no one knew it.

Of course, Leizhan tacitly did not ask.

The withered grass fairy lightly tapped, and ripples suddenly appeared in the space, "Let's go!"

"Wow~~~"

Suddenly, the three of them disappeared into the sky thousands of feet above the Hundred Graves Mountain.

……

This is a world full of vitality. At a glance, there is a valley in the distance, covered with lush flowers, plants and trees.

Wow~~~
A ripple appeared in the space, and the Fairy of Withered Grass, Lei Zhan, and the Fairy of Orchid Grass appeared out of thin air.

"Hmm? This small world is really a paradise!" Leizhan's second level of mental strength suddenly expanded to the limit, completely covering the entire small world.

Mental power is ethereal and ethereal. If one's mental power is not highly developed, one will not be able to detect the presence of mental power. Compared to spiritual consciousness, it is much easier to use and more convenient.

"I discovered this place by accident, and I fell in love with it completely as soon as I came in. It is also very peaceful here." The Fairy of Dry Grass smiled faintly.

"This small world is extremely secretive and devoid of living beings. When I undergo the tribulation, I don't have to worry about affecting ordinary beings. It is a very suitable place for me to undergo the tribulation."

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded and was very satisfied with this place.

After all, this era is not the time when the Wuxian Sect will stir up trouble in later generations, and the Lord of the Heart Demon who has integrated into the Heavenly Dao is still sleeping.

Most of the Wuxian Sect members who were taken away from the Three Realms by the Wind Demon to escape were also working hard to return to the Three Realms. Naturally, no one would care about an insignificant earth immortal undergoing tribulation.

"Then I'm ready to start!" said the withered grass fairy. After seeing Leizhan and the orchid grass fairy nodded, she flew directly to the center of the valley.

He found a large rock and sat down cross-legged, waiting silently.

"Fellow Daoist Kucao." Lei Zhan suddenly looked over.

"Hmm?" The withered grass fairy looked up at Lei Zhan.

"I have a magic weapon here. If you use it, you should have a better chance of surviving the heavenly tribulation!" Lei Zhan recalled all the information in his mind and could indeed confirm it.

Although the withered grass fairy had both her true body and secondary spirit, after countless years, only one of them had reached the level of Pure Yang True Immortal. Of course, one of them would die, or even perish in a celestial tribulation.

Although, in later generations, the Fairy Kucao and the entire Baimu Mountain were in the Wujian Sect camp and stood on the opposite side of Leizhan.

But now, the Three Realms were only a few million years old, and the Wuxian Sect hadn't fully returned to the Three Realms, so there wasn't yet any faction division. And Fairy Kucao had clearly not yet joined the Wuxian Sect.

Moreover, if the camps are still in conflict in the future, Leizhan is confident that he can pull this good friend into the Nuwa camp.

Of course, if the outcome cannot be changed in the end, Leizhan will not show any mercy.

After all, after countless years, Fairy Kucao has only become a Pure Yang Immortal. You must know that Lei Zhan now possesses the strength of a Heavenly God and a True Immortal even though he has not yet passed the heavenly tribulation.

After billions of years, how powerful will Leizhan be?
But now, everything is still uncertain. Lei Zhan naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the Fairy Kucao die under the heavenly calamity and disappear.

After being reborn from the third level of the Water Palace, Lei Zhan has always had the heart of a strong man. He is unwilling to do this, and even disdains to do so!

This is not in line with Leizhan's heart of Taoism.

"Treasure?" Fairy Kucao was stunned.

Wow~~~
Lei Zhan waved his hand, and a lotus that seemed to be carefully carved out of the finest green jade suddenly appeared in the air. The lotus had layers upon layers, thirty-six green jade petals, and emitted a powerful and terrifying aura.

"This... this is!" The eyes of the Fairy of Dry Grass and the Fairy of Orchid Grass were both attracted by the green jade lotus.

"Top-grade immortal? No!"

"Pure Yang magic weapon? It shouldn't be!"

"Could it be... an innate spiritual treasure?"

Guessing this possibility, they were both shocked!
They had naturally seen immortal-level magic weapons before, but the aura fluctuations emitted by this green jade lotus far exceeded those emitted by immortal-level magic weapons.

As for the Pure Yang magic weapon, even if Lei Zhan had it, it would be useless if he gave it to the Fairy Kucao. The Pure Yang magic weapon can only be used by a celestial fairy.

So although this guess was a little unbelievable, it made both Fairy Kucao and Fairy Lancao look ecstatic.

moment.

The Fairy of Dry Grass finally calmed the ripples in her heart and her gaze fell on Lei Zhan.

"Aren't you afraid that after I refine this magic weapon and successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation, I won't return this treasure to you?" Fairy Kucao looked at Lei Zhan with a smile, and was obviously in a very good mood.

"By then, I will be a celestial being! And I will have an innate spiritual treasure in my hand. You have just reached the Return to Void stage of cultivation, so you are no match for me!"

You should know that an innate spiritual treasure is extremely precious.

Some celestial beings use immortal-grade magic weapons, and they don’t even have a single pure yang magic weapon.

Innate spiritual treasures? Those are all things of legend! We only hear the name, but never see the treasure's true appearance!
"You won't." Lei Zhan smiled slightly and directly drew out the energy from the green jade lotus.

With another distant point, the green lotus that had become an ownerless object flew away like the withered grass fairy.

"Sister, Leizhan is not an outsider! You can use it for the time being! With a legendary innate spiritual treasure, your second soul's chances of surviving the tribulation will be greatly improved! Even I may be able to survive the tribulation as well!" Fairy Lancao also had a bright smile on her face.

As her younger sister, Kucao, was able to overcome the calamity and become an immortal, she was naturally extremely happy.

"Well. Use it first! With this innate spiritual treasure, it will make your life easier!" Lei Zhan also nodded and smiled.

"Okay!" The Fairy Kucao looked deeply at the young man in the golden robe in front of her, as if she wanted to remember it completely in her heart!
a long time.

The aura of the withered grass fairy changed, and she seemed to have become a different person.

If you must say, the withered grass fairy was just a weak flower before, but now she has transformed into a tall and straight bamboo with proud bones!
