Chapter 186: Genius Monster Er Daye (6k)
Returning to Little Spirit Peak, the familiar small courtyard came into view, and the old hen had been waiting at the door for a long time.
It tilted its head, its small eyes staring unblinkingly at the intersection, as if it had long expected Zhou Qing to return.
Looking at this familiar scene, a warmth couldn't help but surge in Zhou Qing's heart.
Don't know why, looking at the old hen again, he actually felt that the dullness in its eyes seemed to have lessened, and that look faintly revealed a different kind of agility, and even a bit of human nature.
Zhou Qing hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and everything seemed to have no change.
"Could it be that it ate too much spirit stone powder and is about to evolve to the ultimate?" Zhou Qing laughed at himself.
Immediately, he held it and entered the room, his gaze falling on the two spirit eggs on the ground, couldn't help but smile, and then directly crushed three mid-grade spirit stones for it.
It pecked and ate again.
I have to say, the look now seems to have really improved a lot, at least it won't always peck to the side to eat, every peck accurately landed on the spirit stone powder.
But at this moment, Zhou Qing couldn't care about anything; the running around and fighting for days made him full of fatigue.
Lying on the bed, his eyes closed involuntarily, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he soon entered a dreamland.
In the dream, he saw Taiqingmen restored to its former prosperity, disciples laughing and cultivating among the spirit peaks, while the old hen led a group of fluffy chicks, walking leisurely in the small courtyard...
Seven days later, somewhere on Little Spirit Peak, a terrifying pressure suddenly permeated, and even the thin spiritual power in the air instantly became violent.
In an instant, the wind rolled and the clouds surged.
Subsequently, these spiritual powers gathered toward the center of the pressure with the momentum of overturning mountains and seas, like thousands of troops rushing to the battlefield, and wherever they passed, space rippled in layers.
Zhou Qing, Yan Xiaohu, Mo Xingjian, and even people from other peaks all sensed it at this moment and came out one after another.
Cao Zhengyang was full of relief, stroking his beard lightly and saying: "Mo Shidi has truly taught a few good disciples."
His gaze was full of appreciation; before there was the Ghost Mastiff, now there is Luo Lingling, and Zhou Qing doesn't even need to be mentioned.
Don't know where Li Daoxuan went, and whether he has found his own realm of understanding?
At the foot of the mountain, Bai He, who was chatting with Elder Wu Zhu in the tent, also stood up, his eyes full of surprise.
"Second Shijie, finally about to reach Divine Transformation!" Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu hugged each other and spun around, their excitement overflowing.
Mo Xingjian was also full of excitement, his eyes red.
Only he himself knew how difficult the Second Girl's journey had been, let alone when she was a child... forget it, forget it, let some things pass.
Boom boom boom!
Dark clouds rolled, thunder roared.
Immediately after, a green light pillar soared into the sky, straight into the clouds.
And at the core of the light pillar, Luo Lingling floated, her body rendered by spiritual power, emitting indescribable radiance.
Everyone could clearly see that under her skin, green veins faintly emerged, flashing a powerful aura that made people awe.
"Master, what kind of Heavenly Dao Qi did Second Shijie refine initially?" Zhou Qing came to Mo Xingjian's side and asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian said with emotion: "The eighteenth-ranked Lingxi among the Heavenly Dao Qi!"
Zhou Qing was surprised after hearing this; didn't expect the ranking to be so high.
"What about Da Shixiong?" Zhou Qing asked immediately.
Mo Xingjian smiled slightly and said: "The thirteenth-ranked Zhenyue!"
Looking at Mo Xingjian's light answer, Zhou Qing, in addition to shock, had more mixed feelings.
Master must have encountered unimaginable life-and-death crises to get these two strands of Heavenly Dao Qi of this level back then.
"No, can you guys speak a little quieter and consider my feelings?" Beside him, Yan Xiaohu said dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Qing and Mo Xingjian looked at each other, immediately coughed dryly, appearing somewhat guilty, and then looked at Luo Lingling in the air in unison.
As time passed, the pressure climbed to the peak, and the whole world twisted and deformed under this power.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the sky, and only saw a light flash across Luo Lingling's forehead.
Only saw her Nascent Soul rush toward the clouds in the sky, and in a moment, a huge Primordial Spirit Dharma Image slowly condensed.
That Primordial Spirit Dharma Image was tall and majestic, a full hundred feet in size, emitting green light all over.
Its face was exactly the same as Luo Lingling's, but it had a few more divine charms that transcended the world.
Subsequently, under everyone's excited gaze, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image slowly opened its eyes, shooting two green light beams from its eyes, overlooking the world like a god.
Wherever the gaze reached, all things were shrouded in it, as if everything was under its insight and could not hide.
When Zhou Qing and the others met this gaze, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were shocked by an invisible force.
Soon, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image slowly dissipated, and the celestial phenomena in the sky gradually returned to normal, everything returning to tranquility.
Countless disciples of Little Spirit Peak boiled and cheered at this moment.
"Go!" Mo Xingjian said, his voice carrying undisguised excitement and joy.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu followed hurriedly.
Not long after, the three appeared at Luo Lingling's seclusion place, and as the stone door was slowly pushed open, it made a dull sound.
Luo Lingling came out, looked at the three, and smiled instantly.
"Everyone, long time no see!"
…………
Soon, Peak Masters of each peak brought their disciples to congratulate.
After this battle, the sect's morale was low, and Luo Lingling's breakthrough at this time undoubtedly lifted everyone's originally low mood.
All day, Luo Lingling was dealing with congratulations from all sides, until evening, after sending away the last batch of people, she had the opportunity to calm down and understand the major events that happened in these two years.
When she heard that Little Aqing had killed Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi who ambushed her, the Demon King's holy medicine was strangely lost, the pregnant Li Niang, the terrifying battle of Canglan Mountain, the Nine Nether Demon Lotus appearing, and the five sects finally reaching a complete ceasefire agreement, her eyes were full of disbelief.
However, these didn't matter; she just looked at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu with some heartache.
These two younger brothers chose to take the initiative to provoke those two guys, definitely to avenge her.
"Don't take risks in the future!" Luo Lingling instructed with concern in her eyes.
The two nodded repeatedly, promising not to do it again.
"By the way, Second Shijie, brother-in-law... that, brother Bai He is still at the foot of the mountain. He said he brought you a gift. That guy is not easy; he has come twice since you went into seclusion."
Yan Xiaohu said with a smile, a trace of cunning on his face.
Zhou Qing also nodded repeatedly, echoing: "Ever since you deceived him with a paper man, he has been looking for you, and both Third Shixiong and I have been saved by him."
Luo Lingling was stunned when she heard this, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes, and then she looked at Master Mo Xingjian.
Mo Xingjian smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said: "You have grown up; you should make your own decisions about your lifelong events. No matter what choice you make, I will unconditionally support you."
"We too!" Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu said in unison.
Seeing this, Luo Lingling finally nodded gently and turned to walk down the mountain.
Yan Xiaohu was full of curiosity. As soon as he saw Luo Lingling leave, he couldn't wait to follow, wanting to see what gift Bai He had prepared and what private words the two would say.
Zhou Qing was quick-eyed and hurriedly grabbed him.
"Don't forget, both of them are Divine Transformation realms!" Zhou Qing reminded.
Yan Xiaohu had to give up helplessly.
Just didn't expect that in less than half an hour, Luo Lingling came back, even full of excitement.
"Old Mo, Third Tiger, Little Aqing, I am going to a place with Bai He. Anyway, the five sects have ended the battle. Next, even if I stay in the sect, I won't be able to help much for a while." Luo Lingling said urgently.
The three didn't expect that in just a moment, what kind of love potion Bai He had poured into her to make her so impatient to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mo Xingjian asked, although his heart was full of reluctance.
Luo Lingling said: "Haomiao Prefecture, it's okay. That careless guy seemed to give me a gift, but threw away the most precious thing. I must rush over immediately. Don't worry, there is no danger."
Hearing Luo Lingling say this, the few felt relieved.
After simple packing, Luo Lingling left in a hurry.
Watching her figure disappear, Mo Xingjian let out a light sigh.
The eldest now has five like-minded brothers, the second has Bai He to take care of, and the fourth will definitely stay away from this small place of Taiqingmen in the future to display his ambitions in a broader world.
Thinking about it, didn't expect the third, who worried him the most, would become the one to accompany him.
This is also good, at least not lonely.
"Master, don't look anymore. Second Shijie is a girl after all, destined to be taken away by someone. Maybe in a few years, you will harvest a chubby little grandson."
Yan Xiaohu's untimely voice sounded suddenly from the side.
Mo Xingjian's hands creaked as he squeezed them.
…………
The tragic battle of Canglan Mountain soon spread to the entire Lingyun Prefecture.
This battle had long been the focus of attention due to the years of disputes among the five sects in the Eastern Region, but no one expected that the fuse that completely ended all this was a Demon King losing a spiritual medicine.
Even more shocking was that the power of the entire Eastern Region suffered unprecedented damage in this battle, almost weakened to the bottom.
For a time, many sects no weaker than the five sects in the other three regions quietly sent people to check.
Especially hearing that the remaining strength of Jin Leizong, Qingyu Xian Sect, and Tianji Sect was less than twenty percent of their peak period.
As for those thousands of small sects, the situation was even more miserable, almost none had Divine Transformation or Nascent Soul realms sitting in town, falling into a chaotic situation without a leader.
This gave many people an opportunity.
Taiqingmen was also heavily guarded, and the feeling of being watched outside the mountain gate was extremely serious.
But as three Supreme Elders suddenly went out and hung the corpses of six Divine Transformation realm people outside the mountain gate, that feeling of being watched disappeared completely.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse; even if Taiqingmen experienced a great battle, its strength is still not to be underestimated.
"Jin Leizong and Qingyu Xian Sect, because the teleportation array had problems and needed maintenance, have unilaterally closed it!"
Soon, Zhou Qing learned this news from Mo Xingjian and was stunned.
Mo Xingjian smiled slightly and explained slowly: "Actually, it is understandable. In the Canglan Mountain battle, the two sects suffered the most tragic losses. It can be said that if we really had any thoughts, even if they combined, it would be of no avail."
He paused slightly, his gaze becoming deep, "Not to mention they each divided two Nine Nether lotus seeds. With the mountain gate array, they can still persist for some time, but with the teleportation array, we can go straight to the yellow dragon."
Zhou Qing was thoughtful and nodded lightly.
After all, the five-sect war has ended, and the relationship of mutual assistance has also disintegrated, even becoming vigilant and defensive.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
What's more, which family will successfully break through to Soul Severance is really hard to say.
"Who did we give it to?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian shook his head and said: "I really don't know this, and didn't ask; after all, this is already the highest secret."
Zhou Qing had to give up after hearing this.
But even so, from refining, Soul Severance, to breaking through, it is estimated that it will take an incomparably long time.
After Mo Xingjian left, Zhou Qing finally had time to refine the materials for the 【Itchy Heart Array】 purchased from Zhang Wanbao.
Half a month later, this array was successful.
This is the fourth major array Zhou Qing possesses after "Floating Array", "Eighteenth-Level Earthquake", and "Thunder Flame Spirit-Devouring Array".
Although they are all first-level arrays, if used well, they can exert unexpected effects.
Then the rest is to continue cultivating the "Emperor Huang Scripture" with all his heart; it is currently only minor completion, and he must master it completely as soon as possible.
"Old Four, Old Four—"
Just as Zhou Qing had fed the old hen some spirit stone powder, Yan Xiaohu's voice shouted loudly outside.
Startling the old hen to "cluck" and flap its wings, running around the courtyard.
Zhou Qing sighed helplessly and had to open the door.
Just as he was about to ask what he was doing speechlessly, the moment his gaze fell on the top of Yan Xiaohu's head, his pupils shrank.
Third Shixiong was still the familiar look, but the note on his head was no longer the familiar 【The Little Shidi who makes progress secretly】, but changed to 【The Little Doll who does things seriously and reliably】.
Damn, Er Daye!!!
"No, I have found more than once that you like to look at the top of my head. Is there something on my head?"
Yan Xiaohu touched his head curiously, then asked with a face full of doubt.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly packed up the surprise on his face, and then asked calmly: "What is the matter with Shixiong looking for me?"
Yan Xiaohu heard this, immediately leaned over, and said mysteriously: "It must be a big deal. I feel that a spy has mixed into the sect, possibly a powerhouse from the other three regions. Just now when I came over, I always felt someone was following me in the dark."
Yan Xiaohu said at the end, his face full of tension, and even looked back sneakily, as if someone was hiding in some corner, peeking at them.
Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu's performance, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile with deep meaning.
Teasing: "Spy? If there are still outsiders in Taiqingmen now, it should be you, you say right, Er Daye!"
After speaking, Zhou Qing even stepped back solemnly and bowed respectfully.
The expression on Yan Xiaohu's face stiffened instantly, and the originally vivid expression froze instantly.
The next moment, he saw him restore his original appearance.
"No, you, you... really want to search your soul to see. Was this also smelled out?"
Er Daye said unwillingly.
He really couldn't understand why every time he prepared carefully, appeared in different identities and at different times, Zhou Qing could recognize him at a glance.
Even if the nose is sensitive, it shouldn't be this outrageous.
Could it be that he has a special sense for him by nature?
Zhou Qing smiled, a little pride on his face.
"You have returned from advanced studies?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.
Er Daye was immediately proud, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and with a movement of his mind, only to see a full thirty-seven spiritual seals floating around his body.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but be surprised.
Deserving to be the old monster, in just a few years, he actually comprehended so many spiritual seals.
Er Daye raised his chin slightly and showed off: "Know what this is? Spiritual seals, things that only array masters who have entered the hall can condense."
Zhou Qing immediately understood and sent a flattery: "Big Master is Big Master, truly too powerful! With these spiritual seals out, who can compete!"
Er Daye heard this and laughed even more happily, obviously very useful for Zhou Qing's praise.
Soon, he put away the spiritual seals, then looked Zhou Qing up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"Nascent Soul late stage? This progress is simply shocking. Old man wasn't this fast when I was young. It looks like it won't be long before you can teach the group of disciples that old guy took in!"
Er Daye seemed very happy, as if he saw the picture of Zhou Qing winning glory for him.
Zhou Qing had to smile modestly; after all, when Er Daye gave him the Heavenly Dao Qi, he said that he had made a bet with an old friend, the content of which was about the competition between the younger generation.
But thinking about it, that old friend should also be a Soul Severance realm.
But soon Zhou Qing realized: "Er Daye, you are a first-level array master, right? The prohibitions in the other coffins, with your current level, I'm afraid you can't solve them."
Er Daye said: "Don't know, so I asked for a long leave from the sect and came back to try. Just didn't expect that in the Eastern Region in just a few years, so many things happened."
Zhou Qing had to nod and said politely: "Then I wish you success."
Er Daye smiled, a trace of cunning on his face, and said: "No, it should be said, I wish us both success."
Zhou Qing's expression changed instantly, and he stepped back, the smile on his face becoming awkward.
"Big Master, don't mess around!" Zhou Qing said urgently.
Not to mention anything else, the third coffin is sealed with a Soul Severance realm Flame Fire Crocodile King.
The danger coefficient in the other five coffins must also be frighteningly high.
Er Daye, this half-baked array master, if he rushes in, that is looking for death.
No, he won't die, I will die.
He has the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace token and can simulate at any time. When his strength is about the same, he can explore it himself.
Anyway, he had secretly learned the marks on both sides of the tunnel long ago.
Er Daye looked at Zhou Qing's frightened look and said disdainfully: "Look at you, can I still harm you? Rest assured, I am here."
"Big Master, how about you go in and try first? If there is no danger, it won't be too late to call me," Zhou Qing negotiated.
Er Daye shook his head and said firmly: "You have good luck. In the third coffin, I don't know how many times I fought with that Crocodile King, but I couldn't find the Golden Crow Fan. I only took you in once, and you got it directly."
"That time was just luck, I actually..."
"Luck is also part of strength. Don't be long-winded. When I came back, the first person I wanted to see was you."
Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, Er Daye grabbed Zhou Qing impatiently, flashed his figure, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already outside Lu Yaoyao's residence.
Looking from afar, the girl was humming a song, sitting by the window not knowing what she was drawing, and laughing out loud from time to time.
"Hey, this girl is also amazing, actually reached Nascent Soul. Does the Five Sect War improve you so fast?"
Er Daye was surprised, his eyes full of surprise.
After praising, he familiarly pushed open the cover next to the latrine and took Zhou Qing down again.
Arriving at the five-color altar, Er Daye signaled Zhou Qing to do it himself.
Zhou Qing's originally resistant face couldn't help but be awkward, and said: "Big Master, how can I open this."
"Hurry up, when I left last time, don't think I didn't see you secretly recording with an image stone. At that time, seeing you were full of blisters, I didn't expose you." Er Daye said.
Zhou Qing gave a "hehe."
It really is that the road is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high.
Speaking of which, since he learned it, he had never been here, because things happened one after another.
Plus simulating many times, he couldn't push open a single coffin, so he gave up.
"I have no money!" Zhou Qing pointed to the energy slot on the altar.
Er Daye rolled his eyes, flicked his finger, and eight high-grade spirit stones fell in.
Zhou Qing let out a breath, stepped forward, was about to perform the seal, and suddenly realized.
"When walking inside, it seems you don't need a seal, right?"
Because the altar had already manifested teleportation power, and he hadn't seen Er Daye perform it last time either.
Otherwise, if the Supreme Elders discovered this passage in the future, they wouldn't be able to get in either.
Er Daye laughed, a successful smile on his face, and said: "Just now I was tricking you, didn't expect you really learned it."
Zhou Qing: "..."
After re-entering, Er Daye looked at the basically unchanged traces around, then looked at Zhou Qing and said: "Still smart, even if you learned the hand seal, you didn't dare to come in. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died."
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Just secretly learned a little bit of your craft, I didn't dare to come in. By the way, Er Daye, didn't you say when you left last time that if I could still recognize you next time we meet, you would give me a big opportunity?"
Zhou Qing finished speaking and looked at Er Daye with anticipation.
Er Daye said: "That's right, can I forget that? Do you know how big the opportunity in this coffin is?"
Zhou Qing: "..."
So bringing me here is to give me an opportunity?
As the two arrived at the tunnel again, Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask: "Big Master, what cultivation level are those three corpse wax crows? During that time, the remains of a Golden-Winged Great Peng appeared in Canglan Mountain, and one corpse wax crow rushed out."
"What thing?" Er Daye asked with shock.
