Chapter 737: Immortal World, Old Friend 1
Because they didn't need to go through tribulations to ascend, Xiao Yun and the others made very little noise when they left, and almost no one else knew about it except those they knew.
To be precise, only Xiao Yun directly passed through the barrier between the fairy world and the world of immortal cultivation. The others were in her space and were taken over by her.
Not to mention the presence of the Sky-Covering Mirror, the Heavenly Dao in the Upper Realm had already gotten the news of her return from the old man in the Heavenly Dao, so although Xiao Yun looked like she was sneaking in, she actually entered the fairyland openly.
As soon as he crossed the barrier between the two worlds, he clearly felt a powerful immortal spirit that was completely different from the lower world. It instantly washed over his whole body, even drilling into his body through his pores, quickly filling up his meridians and dantian, which had been somewhat empty before.
Xiao Yun sensed that the immortal spirit was very gentle and could be absorbed directly without causing damage to his meridians, so he released Yaoyao and the others.
As soon as she arrived, she explored the surrounding environment. The place she was in now should be an uninhabited area at the junction. At least no trace of immortals was found nearby.
This place is a bit like the bottom of a canyon, very similar to the bottom of the crack in the Guixu Secret Realm before, with straight cliffs on both sides.
If it weren't for the many spiritual plants and herbs, some birds with colorful tails, and beasts with shining spiritual light, she would have thought that she had entered the Guixu secret realm again.
This place is just right. Since we have already arrived in the upper realm, there is no need to rush to find anyone. It is more important to let everyone adapt to the environment first.
Besides, the spiritual energy here is very rich, maybe everyone can improve their cultivation here.
As soon as everyone came out, they were surrounded by this rich fairy spirit, and everyone had a look of surprise on their face.
Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, her face filled with ecstasy. "Wow~ The spiritual energy in this upper realm is so different! It's so much richer than the lower realm, yet so gentle. It flows directly through the meridians into the dantian without any need for refinement. I feel like I'm about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
The others also nodded, feeling the majestic immortal energy nourishing their bodies.
Xiao Yun looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Don't rush to absorb it. First, familiarize yourself with the difference between this immortal energy and spiritual energy. Take your time and don't rush. We have plenty of time."
Everyone agreed and began to disperse to observe their surroundings, looking for a place that suited their taste to meditate.
At this moment, a huge brown bird swooped down from the sky, targeting a white spirit beast that was eating grass not far from them.
The bird was flying at an extremely fast speed. In a flash, it was above the spirit beast's head. Its sharp claws flashed with cold light and grabbed the spirit beast's head straight. If it grabbed it firmly, its head would be torn to pieces.
I thought it was a doomed tragedy, but I didn't expect that the spirit beast was not a good person either. A flash of light appeared on its snow-white fur, and those white hairs stood up, shooting towards the bird like a dense rain of pear blossom needles!
The bird obviously knew how powerful it was, and it quickly flapped its wings to raise its body, while at the same time it spurted a stream of flame from its mouth to meet those hair needles. When the two met, one did not devour the other, but instead collided to produce two kinds of spiritual light.
Then, the white spirit beast leaped into the air, its wings unfurling from behind. The two beasts instantly engaged in a fierce battle, their spiritual energy radiating from them.
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. The spirit beasts here were all very powerful, making this a great place for everyone to practice combat skills. He called out to Lin Wan'er and the others, saying, "Watch and learn from the fight between the two beasts. We'll stay here for a while, and you can use them to train yourself."
A few people responded and headed towards the two spirit beasts that were fighting further and further away. Qinglian and Qin Yuanfeng followed out of concern.
A Yuan and Bai Qiu also brought the cubs out. Surrounded by rich spiritual energy, the four little guys became more lively and jumped directly from their parents' arms onto the grass and rolled around playing.
Although they are still in the abstract animal shape, they are already the size of babies. One person cannot hold four of them, so each person holds two or puts them directly in the interstellar stroller.
You know what, once you get used to seeing these four little guys, they’re quite pleasing to the eye. They’re so ugly and cute.
Xiao Yun was watching with great joy when he heard Xiao Lin suddenly say, "Boss, I think I'm about to advance!"
As soon as the words fell from its mouth, it ran towards an open space. Then, the little boy turned into a wooden figure as tall as a man. Then, as if stretched, it grew taller and taller. Roots sprouted from its feet, digging into the soil. Branches sprouted from its bare head, stretching and branching out, and growing densely packed with leaves.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Lin turned into a tree more than ten meters tall with lush branches and leaves!
Afterwards, calamity clouds began to gather above its head, and lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds like silver snakes, waiting for the right moment to strike down fiercely.
Xiao Yun was shocked. He didn't expect that Xiao Lin's advancement this time would bring about a heavenly tribulation. He had just experienced a tribulation before. This was another great advancement, which was not a bad thing.
Xiao Yun quickly set up a protective formation to prevent the aftermath of the catastrophe from hurting other people. She stood aside with her men and kept a close eye on Xiao Lin's situation.
After brewing for a quarter of an hour, the thunderbolt finally struck. The lightning was as thick as a bowl and looked scary. At least it scared Lao Hui and the others who had not yet experienced the thunderbolt.
Xiao Lin's trunk trembled continuously under the lightning strikes, but its roots were firmly rooted in the soil, as stable as Mount Tai.
Every time a bolt of lightning strikes, its branches and leaves will shine with a strange light, as if absorbing the energy of the lightning.
This was the 49th thunder tribulation, and it stopped after striking thirty-six times. As the last lightning fell, the tribulation clouds gradually dissipated. Xiao Lin's trunk was flashing with golden light, and it slowly shrank back to its previous size and turned into a human form.
At this moment, Xiao Lin still looked like the same teenage boy as before, but his aura had become more steady, and he exuded a peaceful aura, which was unique to plant demon cultivators.
"Boss, I have reached a new level and now I am a demon king!"
Xiao Lin returned to Xiao Yun and said excitedly.
Xiao Yun was also happy for it. He patted its shoulder and praised it, "Not bad. It shows that your hard training during this period has not been in vain. This upper realm is also a blessed land for you. Seize the opportunity to improve your strength. Maybe you can break through to the Demon King in one fell swoop!"
She turned to the others and encouraged them, "This immortal realm certainly offers more opportunities than the lower realm. Everyone has the opportunity to improve their strength here. Let's make good use of this place and strive to reach a higher realm by the time we leave."
Everyone responded, their eyes full of anticipation.
Next, they stayed here temporarily. Xiao Yun took out several small portable courtyards that he had recently refined and distributed them to everyone.
The yard is protected by formations, and Xiao Yun also upgraded it, replacing the energy with immortal spiritual energy. After activating the defense, it can at least withstand a full-strength attack from a true immortal.
Everyone moved into their own courtyards and began to practice in seclusion. Xiao Yun was not idle either. She explored the entire canyon and brought many spiritual plants and beasts into her own space world.
She also found a small valley on the other side of the canyon. It was full of flowers and plants, and the only spiritual beasts were a group of spiritual butterflies. These spiritual butterflies were obviously colorful and very beautiful, but they exuded a strange aura all over their bodies, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
As soon as Xiao Yun approached, the spirit butterflies flew up and formed a light curtain that trapped her.
Then an illusory figure appeared in the light curtain, claiming to be the remnant soul of an ancient immortal.
It told Xiao Yun that this valley was originally the remains of an ancient battlefield. Because many high-level immortals died there, leaving behind many immortal artifacts and inheritances, it was later regarded as a secret place by the immortals who came to explore.
Later, for some reason, it was no longer open to the public. Only those who were destined to appear occasionally could enter, but they had to pass the test of the spirit butterfly. During the test, they had to enter in a spiritual state.
Xiao Yun remained calm after hearing this, but she sneered in her heart. She had just learned the truth from Jiaduobao. These were not spirit butterflies at all, but soul-eating butterflies. Once her soul left her body, those soul-eating butterflies would attack her in groups and devour her soul!
In this case, she could also play along. She pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying to the remnant soul, "I am willing to accept the test."
The illusory figure nodded with satisfaction, indicating that she was ready to leave her body.
Xiao Yun separated her soul from her body, but secretly left a trace of her spiritual consciousness in her body. Just as her "soul" floated out of her body, those soul-eating butterflies swarmed over her instantly!
However, Xiao Yun was prepared. The divine consciousness in his body instantly controlled the power of space, sucking all the soul-eating butterflies around him into the space world and placing them on a planet surrounded by demonic energy.
The illusory figure was horrified when he saw this, and turned around to try to escape. Xiao Yun sneered, and directly trapped the figure with his spiritual sense and searched his soul!
