Chapter 1203
Electric arcs jumped, the water surface turned white, and a wisp of burnt smell floated in the air.
"So smelly, Big Brother, Big Brother, there's no movement outside, is it over?"
"Don't know, why don't you go out and take a look?"
"I don't want to, what if it's not over, and I get struck to death if I go out? You're the Big Brother, you go."
"Coward, together!"
The Jianghuai Great Marsh surged and rose and fell. The continuous water bags bulged and shriveled, as if a giant beast was swimming under the water. The water bubbles spat out were broken by the waves. Big Fat, Second Fat, Big Treasure, Second Treasure... the big frogs split the waves with water algae on their heads, their webs stepping on the water, one after another poking their heads out, shaking off water stains and green algae.
The frog eyes turned.
More than a hundred pillars supporting the sky supported heaven and earth. Above were thunder clouds with jumping electric arcs, and below were rivers with surging waves. The unique arrangement order formed a kind of violent beauty they couldn't understand.
What surprised the frogs the most.
There were often thunder dragons roaring in the tribulation clouds, circling and falling along the water pillars, only to be trapped in the narrow water pillars, unable to struggle with their heads and tails, like trapped beasts in glass bottles. Counting carefully, nine of the one hundred were constantly emitting fluorescent blue light, like nine lamp pillars.
The lightning tribulation that had terrified the frogs just now suddenly had no movement.
The Martial Saints and Demon Kings also disappeared.
"Where is the Great King?" Big Fat looked around, covering his nostrils, "Where did the Great King go?"
"Your Great King is inside that pillar." Long Eying pointed to one of the nine pillars.
"Ah, it's Fatty's Big Brother's wife!" Big Fat recognized Long Eying, looked in the direction of the finger, and was shocked, "What a bright big pillar, what is the Great King doing inside? Was he locked up?"
"Isn't this the white ape's divine ability? Damn it." Second Fat said with tears, "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the dragon dies, the jumping frog is cooked! I heard long ago that there is a dish on land called beautiful frog fish head!"
"What?" Big Fat was shocked, "What a vicious dish!"
"There's no such thing." Long Eying held her forehead, "Don't worry, this water pillar is the Frog Elder, your Elder's arrangement, saying it can use the lightning tribulation to refine the body."
"Elder? Did the Elder succeed?"
"Croak! Where is the Elder?"
All the frog heads turned, stretching endlessly, one after another.
Long Eying was about to look for him when she suddenly heard a wild laugh from above the sky.
The frogs looked up and saw a frog on top of a pillar supporting the sky. The frog shadow was pitch black, round like a ball, the same length and width, squatting on the edge of the water pillar, standing proudly against the wind. Behind it, the yellow robe cape fluttered huntingly, and behind the frog shadow was the howling wind, intersecting lightning, ethereal clouds and mist, and the flickering electric light plated it with a layer of brilliant radiance.
"Croak!" Big Fat retreated in fright, his upper body twisted backward, lifting his webs to cover his eyes, revealing his surging white belly, "It's too dazzling, who is this frog? My Jianghuai frog tribe doesn't have such a handsome frog!"
"I understand!" Second Fat slapped his palm with his fist, elated, "Such a handsome frog, it must be our Elder Croak!"
"Croak! That's right, only the Elder in the world is so handsome!"
"If the Elder wasn't old, he would definitely be the number one beautiful frog in the frog tribe, surpassing the Great King!"
"No, no, no, the Great King is domineeringly handsome, the Elder is dashingly handsome!"
"Roar!!!"
The Elder's promotion battle...
Great success!
Praises came one after another, and cheers resounded through the night, just like a pond in midsummer.
Long Eying watched from the side and held her forehead. Sometimes she didn't know if these big frogs were really stupid or pretending to be stupid. They reacted slowly to some things, but were more sensitive than anyone else to other things.
Listening to the sound of frogs, the old toad raised the corners of his mouth, carried his webs on his back, and chanted leisurely:
"Sitting alone in the pond like a tiger squatting, raising spirit under the green shade of trees.
When spring comes, I don't speak first, which insect dares to make a sound?"
"Croak! Good poem! Good poem!"
"I announce that the Elder is the number one great poet frog in the Great Marsh, Fatty is slightly inferior!"
"The Elder is of the bold school!"
"Hahaha!" The old toad croaked wildly at the sky, looked around, untied the yellow leather bag on his neck, used his frog legs hard, and jumped, "Little ones, this old man is coming!"
The long wind swept.
The yellow leather bag flew away, drifting like fallen leaves.
The old toad hugged his frog legs in the air, rolled forty-nine times, and was about to land.
Long Zong Yin shouted in panic: "Frog Elder, be careful!"
"Ah?"
The old toad looked up, and in the frog eyes, electric light flashed.
It turned out to be a thunder dragon trapped in a water pillar nearby, struggling and roaring, willing to break itself rather than be forcibly split into an electric snake, drilling out of the pillar supporting the sky and striking straight at the old toad.
"Humph!"
Spraying air from his nostrils, the old toad showed disdain, twisted and flicked his fat buttocks, rotated in mid-air, and brushed past the electric snake.
The electric snake immediately changed direction.
"Muda muda muda! Small lightning tribulation..." The old toad shouted in disdain, adjusting his posture to land in the water in the air. Suddenly, his eyes went black, and his head tilted back, "Ouch! Who blew out the lamp! I'm not done with you!"
"Finished!"
Big Fat held his head, Second Fat closed his eyes.
The cape yellow leather bag that had been untied earlier rolled a circle in the air and came back to entangle the Elder!
"Light the lamp! Light the lamp quickly!"
The old toad struggled wildly, unable to remove the yellow leather bag pressed on his frog head, and finally met the electric snake unexpectedly.
He screamed.
The old toad was electrocuted until he was stiff, spread his limbs, shook three times in the air, opened his mouth and smoked, and fell into the Great Marsh.
Splash!
The water splashes fell back.
"Elder!"
"Elder! Sad!"
"Hahaha! Showing off all day long! Do you really think you can fight against Heaven?" Wu Cangshou landed on the fat catfish's head, stepped down with his front claws crossed, and laughed loudly.
"Grandpa Shou!" Long Eying saw the witness appear and asked hurriedly, "Did Frog Elder succeed?"
"Succeeded, succeeded! It was truly a strange journey for a turtle." Wu Cangshou shook his head, "The first demon beast Treasure Toad in the world, the first Great Demon Treasure Toad! At least he has three or four hundred years to live.
You guys are also considered to have caught up with a good time. The Long Jun has appeared several times in the Huai River, but this Great Demon Treasure Toad is the first time. How rare, and he promoted first, then crossed the tribulation, have you seen it? This heavenly tribulation has become a treasure medicine for refining the body. I've lived long enough to see it, lived long enough to see it."
The dragon people were overjoyed.
The Great Demon Treasure Toad is definitely a sharp weapon in the Jianghuai!
"I won't say anymore, I'm going to practice too."
"Grandpa Shou, aren't you going to wait? Tonight is the New Year festival..." Long Binglin wanted to keep him.
Wu Cangshou shook his head and quietly flicked the toad skin in his turtle claws: "Strike while the iron is hot. When you have an insight, the opportunity is rare. If I have a heavenly tribulation, remember to let the Prince of Huai help me call someone too. No need for many, the scene doesn't need to be that big."
The dragon people were happy: "Congratulations to Grandpa Shou! Congratulations to Grandpa Shou!"
Su Guishan was even more surprised.
"Shh, shh, shh!" Wu Cangshou waved his claws, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not a sure thing yet. If you celebrate in advance, the matter will fly away. Just pretend you didn't hear it, I'm slipping away, slipping away!"
The Fortune-Luck Mysterious Turtle waved its four feet and paddled away.
Leaving the happy dragon people to organize the water beasts, clean up the battlefield, and maintain order.
On the other side, the frog tribe had already held a banquet at the bottom of the water, summoning all tribes, welcoming back the old and weak, singing and dancing.
The surging water surface gradually calmed down. The fat catfish spat two bubbles, picked up the yellow leather bag floating on the water surface, put it on its head, rose and fell, mixed into the frog swarm, and croaked together, occasionally hiding the banquet treasure fish in its hat.
For a time, everyone forgot that the heavenly tribulation above their heads had not dissipated, and the Martial Saints and Demon Kings were refining their bodies within it.
"Crack!"
Dark clouds covered the top, thunder dragons drilled into the water pillars, and bubbles surged.
Successive lightning strikes burned the entire water pillar into a "boiling water pillar," with a large number of bubbles surging, mixed with blue-purple lightning, and no one could see what was going on inside.
Liang Qu was red as blood, gritted his teeth, his muscles twitched, activated the divine ability Dragon Tiger Golden Body, experienced the stinging pain in his body, and tried his best to absorb the energy of the lightning tribulation to catalyze the Root Sea.
The heavenly tribulation did not end.
The old toad let Liang Qu set up hundreds of water pillars, which only changed the form of the intense confrontation of head-on collision. In fact, it slowed down the frequency of the heavenly tribulation's lightning strikes, while letting the Martial Saints and Demon Kings become nine "batteries," absorbing the energy erupted by the heavenly tribulation bit by bit in a form they could accept, using soft methods to dissolve the heavenly tribulation.
Not only solved the lightning tribulation problem, but also turned the lightning tribulation into a treasure for refining the body.
The majestic heavenly power, extreme yang and extreme hardness, is something many people want but cannot get.
Just after promotion, the Great Demon Treasure Toad showed its extraordinary power!
"Whoo!"
Moving his body, his muscles and bones exploded like firecrackers.
Liang Qu incorporated the struck thunder dragon into his body, used his powerful flesh, ground it to pieces, operated the "Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Vajra Art," and absorbed the pure yang essence it dissipated.
Introspection of his own body.
The thirty-seven and a half times Root Sea transformed rapidly, growing to thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty... almost one thunder dragon could increase by 0.7 to 0.8 times, the efficiency was amazing!
Even the Creation Treasure Medicine didn't have such a strong effect.
Wu Sheng cultivation generally has three main directions.
Condensing divine abilities, increasing the Root Sea, and sitting in the temple as a god.
The three correspond to technique, qi, and dao, and each has the necessity of investing energy to practice.
Technique is intuitive combat power. Proficiency in dozens of divine abilities has miraculous effects in complex battles, such as shuttling, escaping, movement, defense, production... all kinds of things that are hard to guard against.
Qi is the foundation of mutual struggle, the key to connecting heaven and earth and bursting out power. Between immeasurable seas, there are also gaps. To some extent, it can also be linked to "Dao," but it is extremely difficult.
Dao goes without saying.
If there were no disputes in the world and everyone was harmonious, then technique and qi could be discarded, and one could seek the Dao wholeheartedly.
The blessings of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the three are also different. The value of the same level of Creation Treasure Medicine that can increase "Dao" is often higher.
And what the lightning tribulation can intuitively increase is the scale of the Root Sea.
Lightning tempers the body, stimulates the body's blood energy, pain tempers the spirit, and the extreme yang energy itself turns into qi, which is the essence of the qi sea where essence, qi, and spirit are combined.
The electric snake wrapped around a circle, was torn apart by the dragon and tiger qi, turned into a great tonic "flesh and blood" and swallowed into the abdomen. Liang Qu could clearly feel the activity in his body. After two days of tossing in the underworld, coming out to confront the heavenly tribulation again, and a series of activities, he had no hunger at all.
The "Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Vajra Art" was obtained from the old monk. The most powerful means is the golden body, which also fits the pure yang essence, so Liang Qu's absorption of the lightning tribulation was twice the result with half the effort.
If you use the lightning tribulation to practice "Dao," there is an extra layer of "Thunder Fire Refining the Palace," with slight wear and tear, using the tribulation thunder to temper the heavenly palace in the body and depict "yourself."
"Technique" is relatively difficult. Unless there is a foundation of thunder-attribute divine abilities, evolving toward the heavenly tribulation, otherwise it is rising from nothing, with huge losses and not worth the gain.
The fruit of the Huai River Great Position is missing, and the other Great Position fruits have no whereabouts.
Liang Qu has the ambition to self-nurture the position fruit, hoping to achieve the goal of a thousand-fold Root Sea before the third stage, and naturally works in this direction.
Abandon the small "Dao" and seek the Great "Dao"!
"Ha..."
One hundred and eight thousand orifices all breathed.
The heart beat like a drum, the blood energy was like a river, violently washing the limbs and bones.
Scorching water vapor filled the five internal organs and six entrails, the skin on the body surface was edematous and swollen, and a layer of viscous scarlet air waves was generated.
The human body turned into a furnace, surrounded by blood fire.
The thunder dragon was worn down and refined, turning from stinging pain into a warm current in the body, nourishing the limbs and bones, but it didn't feel comfortable for long before another thunder dragon struck down, and the stinging pain struck again.
Forty-one, forty-two...
The Root Sea wandered and grew slowly.
And in the center of the Root Sea, the peach tree was lush and green, and the only peach fruit on the tree was full. This was what Liang Qu's original yang turned into after he was promoted to Wu Sheng. Now, on the peach tree bark that was originally empty, and on the peach skin, golden patterns gradually emerged and grew.
"Does the heavenly tribulation also help the Yin-Yang Spirit Seed Art?" Liang Qu was surprised.
The peach tree was struck by lightning again, and it was pure heavenly lightning.
Heavenly lightning strikes peach wood?
The "Yin-Yang Spirit Seed Art," this dual cultivation technique, in the hands of Liang Qu, a latecomer, has reached an unprecedented height...
It was not just Liang Qu who had gains. The Prince of Su, the Prince of Jing, the Prince of Yue, the old monk, the Turtle King, the Sea Monk... everyone who came to participate in crossing the tribulation felt great benefits.
Under the lightning strike, the Turtle King's mysterious shell became more and more shiny, like a patina, and golden patterns were born; the Frog King's body surface gradually decayed, and there were faint skin dander falling off.
The Prince of Yue was surrounded by silver-bright secret texts, the old monk's golden body shone, jumping with lightning, and the Prince of Su and the Prince of Jing, their bodies were all surrounded by strange phenomena, making heaven and earth change color, thunder and fire passing through, majestic and extraordinary.
"Boom~"
The scale of the dark clouds gradually closed, and the strong wind stopped.
The smell in the air gradually disappeared.
The people of Jianghuai opened their doors to watch, seeing the thunder clouds gathered on the Great Marsh, surging with purple light, and did not dare to go out.
Su Guishan returned to the government office. The first thing he did was to recall the clerks who were on holiday for the New Year festival, telling them that there was no major event in the countryside, that the thunder on the Great Marsh was a fairy crossing the tribulation, which was an auspicious sign, that there would be a bumper harvest next year, so there was no need to worry, and it should be treated as usual.
Only then did the villagers step out of the threshold, tidy up the messy courtyard, soothe the livestock, re-paste the spring couplets, and fill in the sticky rice paste.
In some families, the chickens in the courtyard were scared to death by the thunder. Fortunately, they could be sold during the New Year festival.
Late at night.
The frog tribe was still singing, and the melodious frog croaks resounded through the Great Marsh.
The old toad held a jar of rice wine and hiccuped foolishly, and the sword shrimp crossed their forehead swords to compete.
The fat catfish was surrounded by big frogs, performing three bites for one fish, when suddenly white light shone down, and it looked up.
The dark clouds dissipated completely!
The rolling lightning tribulation finally dissipated, and the hot boiling water pillars steamed out water mist, which could not be blown away no matter how the river wind blew.
"Roar! It's out, it's out, the Great King is coming out!"
The frogs, turtles, and other large and small tribes paddled out, looking forward to it.
The water pillars were full of white steam. At this moment, what was being roasted was not the lightning tribulation, but the Sixth-Realm strongmen themselves who were practicing.
"Pitter-patter~"
Liang Qu spat out a long breath, purple electric arcs faintly jumped in his golden eyes, and his flesh was even more sturdy, which was hard to describe in words. The red and swollen skin recovered rapidly under the bathing of the water flow, and the muscles of his forearms were like twisted steel cables.
Looking at the dantian again, joy arose in his heart.
The eighty-two-fold Root Sea surged non-stop, further connecting heaven and earth, and every move was shocking.
Satisfying!
Very satisfying!
It was still far from the goal of a thousand-fold Root Sea, but it had already reached nearly ten percent! How many Martial Saints have such a scale after practicing normally for more than a hundred or even two hundred years?
A thousand-fold Root Sea is just around the corner.
Except for the Root Sea, the lush peach tree was covered with golden patterns, full of profound aura.
"Can the products of heaven and earth help people achieve the unity of heaven and man?" Liang Qu pondered.
Eying's realm is three steps away. Since it is a heavenly tribulation, it inevitably makes him want to lean in this direction, and he can understand the heaven and earth, which is with the help of the special state of returning between yin and yang, others may not necessarily be unable to.
If the two can pave the way, the matter will be more than half done!
Of course, the biggest harvest still belongs to Frog Elder achieving the Great Demon. Plus bringing people back and forth, can he go directly to the blood river to dig for super-grade blood treasures?
Bubbles surged non-stop, and he collected his thoughts.
Sensing that no one else had come out, it just happened to avoid the trouble of meeting each other with the dual identities of the Prince of Huai and the Bai Yuan, so Liang Qu broke through the water first.
The cotton-white steam surrounded his body, flowing along the muscle curves, like smoke and gauze. Looking around, most of the others were red and swollen, digesting the aftertaste.
"Croak, Prince of Huai!"
Hearing the little brother's call, the Frog King, who was a circle more burly, couldn't care about deep cultivation, opened his frog eyes, and followed closely out of the water pillar: "Fatty Big Brother, you helped the Elder promote to Great Demon, our debt is written off. If there is anything you want, you can go to my cave to move it."
Liang Qu knew that the debt the Frog King mentioned was the time he helped fight the dragon: "Thank you Frog King for your kindness. Writing off the debt is what I hoped for, and I dare not refuse.
There is no need to move treasure. Frog Elder has helped me a lot. He is the Elder of the frog tribe and also my National Teacher. Refining the body with the heavenly tribulation is also a rare experience."
The Frog King nodded. It didn't like "three resignations and three concessions."
"If you have any needs, let Fatty tell me. The Elder is sometimes calculating, but don't mind it."
"Thank you Frog King!"
The Frog King was the first Sixth-Realm expert to know the white ape's identity, but he never revealed it. Liang Qu always remembered this.
The social structure of water beasts is simple, and many times it is much simpler than humans, or rather, they can't learn the means.
Coming out of the water pillar, the heavenly tribulation dissipated, and the Frog King simply returned to the cave to practice.
The frog tribe's debt was paid off, the debt pressure was greatly reduced; the Root Sea grew, and the self-nurtured position fruit went a step further.
Double happiness.
The other Martial Saints and Demon Kings focused on cultivation and couldn't come out for a while. With no one around, looking at the joy and celebration of the frogs singing and dancing, Liang Qu jumped out of the water surface. His heart was inevitably touched by the emotion, and a thought arose, and he took a step.
New Year!
I don't know how the old Long Jun in the Dragon King Cave is doing. He is entangled in many things, and the remains of the net-sized remains are also limited, so he cannot go back immediately.
After the New Year, there is a long string of things to do: the Mirage tribe, the Beaver tribe, tourism, and construction.
"Why is there still no news about the East Sea Great Hunting Meeting..."
