puff~
Almost at the same instant the ice lotus touched it, the barrier shattered.
Then came the second and third layers... No matter what form or attribute of any defense, it was all easily broken by that small ice lotus.
Seeing Binglian approaching him step by step, Meng Zhang was so frightened that his legs trembled and he finally knelt down with a thud.
"No, you can't! You can't kill me! My master is Hou Ze, and my senior brother is Yang Jue! You can't kill me!"
Lu Li remained silent. He secretly communicated with the spirit within his sea of consciousness, asking her to deduce some things. After receiving a reply, he pressed down on the ice lotus from a distance.
boom!
The ice lotus shattered, its petals bursting open in a dazzling display.
Meng Zhang's body turned into an ice sculpture and shattered into pieces. During this time, Lu Li intentionally reduced her strength to prevent the storage bag from exploding along with it.
boom!
Thunder roared, and the purple rain curtain, as if drawn by some force, changed direction in mid-air, drifted, and condensed, eventually forming a vortex that rushed towards Lu Li.
These rainwaters contain a high concentration of immeasurable calamities. Not only the rainwater, but also the immeasurable calamities contained in the air and dust are surging towards Luli.
"What I feared most has come..."
Lu Li gritted her teeth and immediately deactivated her transformation.
Maintaining his cultivation at the Creation Realm will only attract more and more immeasurable tribulations. Just absorbing the immeasurable tribulations in front of him is already making Lu Li's scalp tingle and putting him under immense pressure.
hum!
Rain, dust, and air rushed into Lu Li's body like a madman, and in an instant, Lu Li felt as if his scalp had exploded.
Although he had been mentally prepared, this immeasurable calamity was even more terrifying than he had anticipated. Lu Li hurriedly circulated his energy according to the Demonic Path's Source-Opening Method, attempting to dissipate the immeasurable calamity within his body.
Lu Li's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead almost simultaneously with the Demon Orb!
Never before has the backlash from ingesting uranium pills been so severe.
"not good!"
Since he began practicing this demonic cultivation technique, Lu Li has attempted to break through seven times, and all six attempts have failed without exception.
The seventh attempt failed.
The eighth attempt failed.
Lu Li continuously circulated his Qi, consuming immeasurable tribulations, but the heavenly tribulation he had been waiting for never arrived. Instead, the concentration of immeasurable tribulations within his body continued to rise, and the speed at which they entered his body far exceeded the speed at which Lu Li consumed them.
After these countless calamities finished eroding the Demon Orb, they turned around and began to erode Lu Li's bones and organs. Fortunately, his skin and flesh were made of a special material, so he was temporarily unaffected.
The ninth, tenth, and eleventh attempts all failed.
After five consecutive failures, the concentration of the immeasurable tribulations gradually decreased, but its total amount was still considerable. These immeasurable tribulations stopped eroding his body, but instead accumulated within Lu Li's body, seemingly brewing something.
However, a series of failures is not entirely a bad thing.
According to the teachings passed down by Tan Mengzi, after each failure, the cultivator's body will be slightly strengthened. The more times one fails, the more terrifying the final tribulation will be, and the higher the corresponding upper limit will be.
Tan Mengzi succeeded on her thirteenth attempt, which brought her three heavenly tribulations.
It is said that in the ancient times, the puppeteers were called Qi Refiners. Some Qi Refiners even deliberately suppressed their cultivation and repeatedly stacked the levels of Qi Refining, just to build a more stable foundation for their Dao.
Lu Li staggered to his feet again. He grabbed Meng Zhang's corpse, rummaged through his body for a storage bag, and found the corpse of Ghost-Faced Flower King inside.
At the time, Meng Zhang simply tossed it into his storage bag without any special preservation. Only half an hour had passed since the monster was killed, and nearly 30% of its vitality had already been lost.
Fortunately, Lu Li intervened in time to seize the item; otherwise, it would have been ruined if the delay had lasted another half hour.
Life is unpredictable, and the worst thing was that Meng Zhang suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Even though this guy has now been torn to pieces, his appearance completely disrupted his original plans.
Countless eons have accumulated within him, and they could erupt again at any moment. He probably wouldn't be able to withstand the next eruption of countless eons on his own.
Therefore, he had to rely on external forces.
The Uranium Pill can't be used for the time being. Using a future body will only attract more immeasurable calamities, making his situation even more dangerous. The only thing that can help him break out of this predicament is the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument.
He must forge the unseen artifact as quickly as possible, then activate the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument and the new artifact obtained through a loan to resist the erosion of the immeasurable calamity.
Lu Li immediately took out his auxiliary tool, chopped the petals into pieces, extracted the flower juice, and sealed it in a specially made jade box that he had prepared beforehand.
Meanwhile, Xie Lingyin stood by and witnessed the whole thing. Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she couldn't bear to leave her fellow Daoist who had just saved her to die.
"What...what can I do for you? How should I address you?"
"Call me Mo Wan, and just stay quietly to the side."
As he spoke, Lu Li prepared to leave this place, at least to find a place with a lower concentration of calamity. He took out the mechanical wooden ox, stood up with a limp, and tried to climb onto the oxcart.
Click~
With a crisp crack, his left leg bone broke. With each failure of the Demonic Path's Source-Opening Method, his body was strengthened overall, but this could not keep up with the speed of the Immeasurable Calamity's destruction. The Immeasurable Calamity penetrated deep into his bone marrow, making his bones as brittle as paper.
Lu Li felt his feet lose their balance and the ground was crashing towards him. Just as he was about to fall, he felt a fragrant breeze on his face. Xie Lingyin came over and supported him.
"Sister Mo Wan, where are you going? I'll take you there."
"Outside, no, no, I can't go out yet. I need a quiet place, the place where the lightest energy is weakest in the immeasurable eons."
"it is good."
Xie Lingyin entered Xie Xiao's body and manipulated the two mechanical arms to carefully lift Lu Li up, as if she were holding a work of art that might break at any moment.
She shoved Lu Li into the cockpit, but the space inside was small. After some adjustments, Xie Lingyin moved the seat to the side and then let Lu Li rest his head on her lap.
Finally, a small pink blanket was placed over Lu Li's stomach. Looking at this effeminate blanket, which still carried a hint of girlish charm, Lu Li rolled her eyes.
Noticing Lu Li's expression, Xie Lingyin felt a little embarrassed. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she murmured softly:
"Please don't mind, this is my blanket for my afternoon nap. It might smell a bit in the cabin."
In fact, apart from the faint scent of their bodies mingling together, there was only the smell of blood in the cabin; there were no other strange smells.
The cabin slowly closed, and Xie Lingyin pulled the lever to steer her sister forward. Her driving skills were superb, and although the road ahead was rugged, Lu Li did not feel any bumps. Lying on her lap, Lu Li was quite comfortable.
A wave of drowsiness washed over Lu Li, and he longed to sleep, but he was also afraid that this woman had ulterior motives. Every time he fell asleep, he would force the Great Dream Pivot to activate. He forced himself to stay awake and silently murmured to himself:
"Oh, I got to enjoy a lap pillow before I was about to die..."
"Please don't actually die."
"What? I'm already like this, and you're still thinking about possessing someone else's body? Don't worry, before I die, I'll definitely destroy the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument first, so you won't go and ruin other people's lives."
Lu Li spoke weakly, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, Elder Duan said:
"Still being stubborn? Your stubbornness is the only thing on your body. I'd like to see how long you can keep it up! You've already lost Mo Wan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately perked up. His eyes widened, and his first reaction was to refute.
"I have it!"
Then, feeling somewhat guilty and timid, he used his divine sense to search.
scare!
There was still some, but only a tiny bit, just one small raisin.
The yang energy he had painstakingly accumulated in his body was almost completely depleted in this catastrophe, exacerbating the imbalance between yin and yang, and causing the total amount of yin energy to soar to an unprecedented level—960%.
This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. For a moment, Lu Li didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In the end, he could only twitch the corners of his mouth, feeling a slight itch on his cheek.
At this moment, Xie Lingyin was focused on controlling the puppet, her cherry-pink hair falling naturally and gently brushing against Lu Li's cheek.
Lu Li was a man after all, and for a moment his heart stirred. He and Xie Lingyin both came from the White Moon Palace, and in terms of seniority, Xie Lingyin was his senior sister.
It's one thing to criticize sects or immortal clans in normal times, but one thing is another. In reality, who wouldn't want a beautiful junior sister who is trustworthy and happens to owe them a favor?
However, when Lu Li thought about his current situation, he felt powerless to do anything about it, and all his mixed feelings eventually turned into a long sigh.
"Ugh--"
Lu Li didn't know whether Xie Lingyin was trustworthy or not, but he was an incompetent junior sister... no, junior brother.
……
Half a day later, the three stopped in front of a cave.
Lu Li entered the cave and sat cross-legged—he was now paralyzed from the waist down, so he could only sit cross-legged.
"Alright, I'm going into seclusion now, don't bother me."
Lu Li's voice was cold, but Xie Lingyin wasn't annoyed at all. She showed no airs of a saintess, acting more like a house cat that had been kicked off the bed, and said softly:
"Oh, I'll protect you from outside."
Throughout the journey, Xie Lingyin always felt guilty and grateful towards Lu Li. She always felt that Lu Li had become the way he was because of her, so she always wanted to do something for him.
She had no idea that Lu Li was not as noble as she had imagined. The reason he helped her was entirely due to his relationship with Lu Ling and his desire to get the Ghost-Faced Flower King from Meng Zhang.
The refining process, which he had never seen before, was much longer than he had imagined. The molding method was still used, but because the spiritual material had been changed from the original Ghost Face Flower to the current Ghost Face Flower King, the properties of the main material had changed, and the auxiliary materials also needed to be adjusted accordingly.
In particular, the Ghost-Faced Flower King is formed over countless eons, and the mutation itself contains too many uncertainties. There is a lack of similar records in the jade slips related to spiritual materials.
Although Lu Li had considered this point, due to a lack of experience, his first two attempts at refining the mask ended in failure. Looking at the dull gray mask in his hand, whose flaws were immediately apparent, he felt somewhat helpless.
"Luckily, I have a whole head of Oni-faced Flower King material on hand, so I have enough main material."
The repayment date for the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument was still far off, but the immeasurable tribulation within Lu Li's body was constantly churning and surging. Therefore, Lu Li dared not slack off in the slightest. Finally, on the thirteenth day, he successfully refined the Unseen One.
brush!
The moment the mask was completed, it disappeared from Lu Li's hand.
This stranger still hadn't reached the threshold of the third stage, but his face was different from Lu Li's before, as if he had gained some kind of transformation effect.
Lu Li's face was initially blurry, as if shrouded in mist. With a thought, he pinched his chin with his fingers and flipped his face upwards like turning the pages of a book.
Wow~
The next moment, Lu Li's face changed, becoming sallow and emaciated. He compared himself to the mirror and realized that this was his original face as Lu Li. Then, Lu Li turned his face over a second time.
Wow~
Lu Li's face shape hadn't changed much, but his skin had become fairer and his features had become slightly more refined. This was his face when he first put on the Qingming skin, and it was also the closest to Lu Ling's face.
Wow~
Lu Li's face changed again. This face was only slightly similar to his original face. This was to prevent others from associating his face with Lu Ling.
Therefore, she specially learned some disguise techniques. Compared to the previous face, this face was more youthful. In fact, Mo Wan's face was made by casting a mold based on this face.
As his face changed repeatedly, Lu Li looked at his ever-changing reflection in the mirror, as if he were really flipping through an old picture book that recorded all the things he had done along the way.
"Perhaps it can turn into something else?"
With a try-it-out mentality, Lu Li imagined an image in his mind and flipped his face for the fourth time.
Wow~
The mask was flipped over, and in an instant, his entire face turned black. The iron beak paired with the mechanical red eyes revealed the face of the wooden crow. In particular, the mechanical feel of the eyes was so lifelike that it could be imitated perfectly.
"Wow, it can transform like that!"
Lu Li flipped his face one last time, letting his features disappear into the mist again. He then checked the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument. This time, he could borrow three second-stage artifacts at the same time, repaying them in three installments over a total period of six months.
"Should I continue to deal with the current predicament, resist immeasurable calamities and heavenly tribulations...? Which should I choose?"
Chapter 125 Oh, jade feet!
Three two-turn puppets, or one three-turn puppet.
There isn't a suitable three-stage mechanical artifact for the current situation, and it can't be crafted in a short time; it requires a gradual approach.
Lu Li pondered carefully. To deal with the immeasurable calamity, he first needed to increase the body's tolerance limit.
The first thing Lu Li thought of was the Transformation Furnace, the organ corresponding to this artifact was the spleen.
Yunhua: Yun means to distribute and transport, and Hua means to dissolve and transform.
With this artifact, one can absorb and digest all forms of external force, whether it is tangible substances such as pills and toxins, or special energy forms such as spiritual energy and immeasurable eons, all of which are within its digestion range.
Secondly, Lu Li thought of the Glazed Bone.
This thing, when paired with the Azure Netherworld Skin and Ice Skin, can maximize the body's strength and help him better withstand the tribulation lightning later on.
