The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

Nothing too horrible happened...

After all, this flame is still under Jiuyou's control for the time being, so as long as she doesn't want it to, Liu Bai won't suffer too much harm. This also indirectly saves Liu Bai a lot of suffering.

You know, in the original novel, Muchen only got a wisp of immortal fire from the sleeping Jiuyou, and then he forced the fusion together out of necessity. The slightest mistake might lead to his own self-immolation.

So Liu Bai felt that Muchen's success at that time was entirely due to his own aura as the protagonist...

The flame entered his body, and Liu Bai began to mobilize his spiritual power to capture the flame and then force it to merge.

This is the only way to fuse the divine object. If there is strong resistance, it is likely to cause irreversible backlash and even the loss of life.

But even so, there are still countless people who want to get the divine object...

The five-colored spiritual power in Liu Bai's body seemed to be very powerful, and the five elements divine light was extremely strong, but facing this ray of immortal fire, it felt that it was "no longer as powerful as it used to be".

The moment the five-colored divine light came into contact with the immortal fire, it began to be evaporated in large quantities by the latter's high temperature. The five-colored light that originally filled the entire space was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This process lasted for a quarter of an hour...

When Liu Bai felt that the spiritual power in his body was actually becoming empty, he frowned, and then directly added 350,000 experience points!

boom!

Violent spiritual power burst out from Liu Bai's body. If a layer of spiritual power shield had not suddenly appeared in the room to block it, this small courtyard would have been completely destroyed by the spiritual power impact.

Even so, the room shook violently, waking up the outer disciples who were practicing nearby.

"What's going on? Has someone made a breakthrough again? It's making such a big noise..."

Although they had experienced many breakthroughs that caused some noise, there had never been such a strong vibration.

After all, most of the outer disciples are still only at the Three Days Realm, and the fluctuations of their breakthroughs are simply unable to shake the formations that come with these courtyards.

Of course, there are also many outer disciples who have practiced for a long time and know some things.

"The Five Sects Competition will be held in three months, right? This guy should be one of the guys heading for the upper sect."

"Only these people, who obviously possess such powerful strength, would join one of our lower five sects as an outer disciple."

In response to this, most outer disciples just made a few sarcastic remarks. After all, the gap between them and the other side was too big, and it was impossible for them to have any intersection.

But there were also many outer disciples cursing in their hearts...

"These bastards, it looks like I'm going to have bad luck again in the inner sect disciple assessment in a month. I've been preparing for this opportunity for half a year!"

Chapter 135: Soul-Shocking

The violent spiritual power impact made Liu Bai feel the changes in the spiritual power in his body.

Compared to before, his spiritual power has increased several times!

And not only that, in Liu Bai's opinion, the difficulty of spiritual power is easier to overcome than the difficulty of physical body.

After all, everyone's spiritual power has been constantly honed since the beginning of cultivation. Those who can cultivate to this level, as long as they do not use elixirs or other external forces to improve their cultivation, will not be in too much danger when they encounter difficulties in impacting their spiritual power.

Of course, it just means there will be no danger of death, which does not mean that you can definitely survive it. After all, even someone with Mo Xingtian's talent cannot succeed in one try when it comes to impacting spiritual power.

But with each impact, the spiritual power will become more pure and powerful, and the strength will also be improved to a certain extent.

However, this process requires a huge amount of spiritual power as a supplement, because the spiritual power will inevitably be reduced during the purification, so each impact requires sufficient time to replenish one's own spiritual power loss.

This requires the use of other things with abundant spiritual power as a supplement.

Of course, if Liu Bai directly merged the divine object, the effect would be better, but this method was not something that everyone could use...

When everything returned to calm, the many outer disciples who were alarmed by Liu Bai's breakthrough also withdrew their attention and continued their cultivation. Even those with bad tempers only cursed quietly in the room, and no one dared to cause trouble.

Those who can become the outer disciples of the Fire God Sect may be arrogant and self-important, but none of them are fools. Especially those who come from extraordinary backgrounds, they can clearly distinguish who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.

Although Liu Bai still had a lot of experience points, he was not in a hurry to continue to improve.

Because among the three supreme tribulations, the soul tribulation is the most dangerous!

The soul condenses the essence, energy and spirit of the human body. It is the most important thing. If the soul is destroyed, not only will a person's foundation for cultivation be destroyed instantly, but even the mind will not be retained. Only a body without any intelligence will be left, like a puppet.

The soul fire condensed by the soul has no effect on the physical body or spiritual power, but it is fatal to the soul. Once it cannot withstand the burning, it is very likely that even the soul will turn to ashes.

To be on the safe side, Liu Bai decided to join the Five Elements Divine Sect first to see if he could get a better technique, or some magical item that could improve his chances of overcoming the spiritual crisis...

A month passed in a flash, and the Fire Dragon Valley became very lively that day, because today was the time for the selection of inner disciples. All outer disciples could participate in the selection, and as long as they made it into the top 20, they could become inner disciples of the Fire God Sect.

Although the Fire God Sect is very strict in recruiting disciples, there are currently thousands of outer disciples, but only these twenty can be selected every year, which shows how fierce the competition is.

What's more, if they encounter someone like Liu Bai, who will occupy one of the places, it is equivalent to directly squeezing out the opportunities that belong to these outer disciples. It is no wonder that some people would curse.

Following the crowd, Liu Bai soon arrived at the huge Panlong Square located in the center of the Fire Dragon Valley. Although this selection was very important for outer disciples, it was just a routine matter for the sect.

Most of the time it was just some outer sect deacons or inner sect elite disciples who were in charge, and at most there would be one or two idle true disciples who would come to take a look. But this time, because of the presence of people like Liu Bai, today's selection not only had true disciples, but even a few elders could be seen.

This scene also made all the powerful outer disciples excited.

This is the opportunity!

If I can impress these elders with my performance in the future, wouldn't that mean I can rise to the top overnight?

Thinking of this, the very few confident outer disciples immediately became serious.

When everyone was gathered, a middle-aged deacon came out and pointed to the twenty arenas on the square, saying, "The rules are very simple. Those who are confident can go on the arena. The twenty people who can still stand on the arena will become inner disciples of my Fire God Sect. Of course, if your performance can be noticed by that master, it is not impossible for you to be the true disciple."

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, some people who couldn't wait any longer flew directly onto the stage, stood there with an arrogant look, waiting for someone to challenge them.

Liu Bai took a look and thought that this person should be a real outer disciple of the Fire God Sect, so he didn't think about knocking him down. After all, there were still several vacant seats among the twenty arenas.

Liu Bai randomly chose an unowned arena and flew directly up.

Likewise, two people with similar auras chose their own arena...

These two should be like Liu Bai, aiming for the Five Sects Competition in two months, so after they got on the stage, they sat cross-legged and closed their eyes waiting for the selection to be over.

It seems that they are very clear that people like them are just going through the motions and almost no one will challenge them.

that's the truth.

After seeing that Liu Bai and the other two had chosen their own arenas, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone dared to choose to become the champion.

Time passed quickly, and the fighting in the other seventeen arenas was fierce. The violent spiritual power echoed wantonly under the sky. If these arenas had not been blessed by the formation, they would have become ruins by now.

Liu Bai did not close his eyes like the other two, not paying any attention to what was happening outside. He watched the competitions with great interest, especially since most of these people were cultivating fire attributes, and because their strengths were not much different, the fights were very lively.

However, Liu Bai soon discovered several special talents. Not only were their cultivation stronger than others, but they also had a variety of methods. Many of them even mastered powerful god-level spiritual techniques. In addition to their own high-level spiritual weapons, they were able to handle a round-the-clock battle with ease.

Liu Bai shook his head. With the configuration of these few people, it was estimated that few people of the same level could defeat them, let alone those ordinary outer disciples.

So many times, ordinary people are still ordinary people even if they choose to join a powerful sect, unless you can be like the protagonists in novels, either with plug-ins or with the halo of the protagonist, otherwise you can only live a mediocre life.

This is not only true in the more stringent sects, but also in the seemingly relaxed spiritual academies. In this way, the relatively fair Beicang Spiritual Academy appears even more precious.

I have to say that Dean Beicang is much better than everyone else in this regard!

Originally Liu Bai was wondering if there were any talented young men who were arrogant enough to challenge them, but facts proved that Liu Bai was overthinking.

The entire selection seemed to have nothing to do with the three of them. No matter whether it was the outer disciples who were participating in the selection, or those who were watching and in charge of the competition, they all ignored Liu Bai and the other two.

At this moment, Liu Bai instantly understood why the two men sat cross-legged with their eyes closed and practiced qi quietly after entering the ring. It seemed that they had known that such a scene would happen.

After the selection, the seventeen outer disciples happily received their own inner disciple tokens. As for those who were eliminated, many of them had depressed expressions on their faces, and secretly cast hateful glances at Liu Bai and the other two.

Liu Bai frowned but did not react excessively. Of course, he did not think that he had taken someone else's position.

It was not until this time that the elders who rarely appeared stood up. Three streams of light flew out of one of them's hand and landed in front of Liu Bai and the other two respectively.

"Liu Bai, Yan Xu, Dong Qing, these are the inner sect tokens for the three of you. Next, you will follow me to live in Chaoyang Peak and wait for the five sects' competition in two months!"

"Yes!"

The three answered at the same time.

Since the three of them have legally obtained the status of inner disciples, the Fire God Sect naturally does not need to let them live with other disciples anymore, as this will not benefit either side.

Moreover, Chaoyang Peak was specially prepared by the Fire God Sect for people like Liu Bai, so they can adapt to some situations of the Five Sects Competition in advance.

Following the elder, Liu Bai and the other two came to a seemingly ordinary mountain, but this mountain was facing the direction of the rising sun, so it was given such a poetic name.

The three of them were at the entrance of a huge cave. Gusts of cold wind blew out from the cave, making people feel cold.

"This is the Soul-Shocking Cave. There is a seventh-level Soul-Shocking Array arranged inside. You will enter the stone chambers in the cave to practice later. Those who can resist the fifth-level Soul-Shocking within two months can participate in the Five Sects Competition. Otherwise, just give up..." The elder said to Liu Bai and the other two with an expressionless face.

"Why?" Among the three, the young man named Yan Xu was the first to ask the question.

Although the elder had a cold expression, he explained the reason to them meticulously.

"Because the Five Sects Competition is held in an ancient space, the environment there is filled with extremely powerful soul pressure. If you can't even withstand the fifth level of soul shock, then you'd better not seek death as soon as possible."

"Moreover, the lower your endurance, the lower your strength will be. You may even be defeated by those who are not as good as you but have stronger spiritual resistance!"

"Oh, right. During the Five Sects Competition, you are not allowed to use any power other than your own, including spiritual pets..." When he said this, he specifically looked at Liu Bai, who had a weird hairstyle, and Jiu You, who was sleeping soundly at the moment.

"That's all I have to say. What you do next is up to you."

After saying that, the elder flew away without any hesitation.

Liu Bai and the other two looked at each other. Obviously, none of them had expected such a condition. But now that things had come to this, they could only obey...

Liu Bai was the first to cup his fists towards the two of them and said with a smile, "You two, please come in!"

After saying that, he went straight into the depths of the dark cave.

Watching his figure disappearing into the darkness, the two people at the cave entrance suddenly felt as if Liu Bai was being swallowed by the darkness.

This feeling suddenly gave both of them goose bumps on their arms, but soon, they both walked into the cave.

After entering the cave, Liu Bai discovered that the surroundings were not filled with endless darkness as he had imagined.

There are many fluorescent stones inlaid on the stone walls around the cave, so the whole cave is illuminated by green fluorescence. Although it is not as bright as sunlight, it can still be seen clearly.

Not far away, Liu Bai found a stone chamber marked with numbers...

The door of the stone chamber was open, and a few dozen meters away was another open stone chamber.

Thinking of what the Fire God Sect elder had said before, Liu Bai did not hesitate and walked directly into the stone chamber closest to him.

The moment Liu Bai stepped into the stone chamber, the door that had been open slammed shut, and then the entire stone chamber became bright. Numbers began to appear on the stone door, which happened to be the numbers marked from "one" to "seven".

"This should be used to adjust the level of soul-stirring..."

Liu Bai sensed it carefully and even slowly closed his eyes.

The mind formation was in full swing, but he could still only sense a faint layer of mysterious fluctuations. A dark breath came over, making Liu Bai's perception disappear instantly.

The Soul-Shocking Formation is a formation that targets the soul, so it has a very strong suppressive effect on the state of the mind.

Finally, Liu Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that his originally dark eyes were covered with a layer of blue light, and at the center of his eyebrows, there seemed to be a faint light spot similar to an eye, and then the entire stone chamber became dim in his vision.

Very sexy lines began to appear in Liu Bai's eyes, but before he could see clearly, everything disappeared in an instant.

"I go!"

Liu Bai quickly covered his eyes. A stinging pain directly stimulated the nerves in his eyes, as if his two eyeballs had been dug out.

Soon, a cool feeling came over him, quickly relieving his pain.

But even so, when Liu Bai opened his eyes, his eyeballs were still covered with bloodshot.

"I am only at the primary stage of the virtual mind and eyes. It is still too difficult to see through this seventh-level spirit formation. I may even be attacked back."

At this time, Jiuyou also jumped out, and then manifested a human body. Looking at Liu Bai's appearance at this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, don't you think you deserve it! People asked you to come here to temper your soul, and you actually wanted to see through their formation... I told you that this is a seventh-level spirit formation, and you still rushed up like this without knowing whether to live or die. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Liu Bai rubbed his eyes and felt that the situation had almost eased, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not get angry at Jiuyou's ridicule, but nodded and said, "You are right. This time I really brought it upon myself. With my current level of formation, I can only set up some simple sixth-level formations at best. If I want to go beyond that, I will be overestimating my own abilities."

Chapter 136 Analysis of the Grand Formation

After witnessing the extraordinary power of this Soul-Shocking Formation, Liu Bai did not do anything else irrelevant. After choosing the second level of Soul-Shocking Formation, he prepared to see how powerful this Soul-Shocking Formation was.

As Liu Bai's fingers moved across, the numbers "one" and "two" on the door lit up respectively, and a strange pressure suddenly emerged in the entire stone chamber and fell on Liu Bai.

This is a kind of pressure that acts completely on the soul, just like an ordinary person carrying a big stone on his back, the whole person is pressed down tightly. However, the big stone presses the body, while this soul-stunning formation presses the soul!

Liu Bai frowned. At that moment, even his breathing stopped.
