"Phew, I've finally broken through." A hint of joy flashed through Shi Xuan's heart. He opened his eyes and saw that everything was the same as before. Meng Nishang and the other Perfected Cultivators also woke up at about the same time, while Wei Boshu and the others were a bit slower.
Sensing the time in his own grotto-heaven meant that Shi Xuan had taken a solid step towards passing the fourth Heaven's Blight, breaking through the most important barrier. Without this, only by piling up secret techniques and treasures would there be hope of passing the Life Reduction. However, there were pitifully few secret techniques and treasures for passing the fourth Heaven's Blight. There was only one in the Treasure Record, and the rest could be imagined. Therefore, not being able to sense the time in his own grotto-heaven meant that there was no hope of passing the Life Reduction.
However, sensing the time in the small dimension was only the first step. He still had to go through tempering and accumulation to be able to control the time in the grotto-heaven. Only then could he be called a cultivator close to the fourth tribulation and dare to talk about passing the fourth Heaven's Blight. Of course, the latter step was a bit easier than the former.
Looking around, Shi Xuan felt a sense of the passage of time from Ren Yunzong, and he couldn't help but smile. "Looks like Senior Ren has gained a lot."
"This old man has sensed the time in my own grotto-heaven nearly 3,000 years ago. After many years of accumulation, I finally used the 100 years of tempering my mind and the passage of time to control the time in my grotto-heaven. I don't have to face the Life Reduction without any confidence." Ren Yunzong laughed and stood up. He bowed. "Thank you for your sect's Instant Forgetting Fruit, thank you for your invitation, Fellow Daoist Shi."
After returning to the Treasure City Sect, he would stabilize his realm and adjust his state of mind. He would then use his sword intent to trigger the Life Reduction. As for the secret techniques and treasures, he didn't have any extravagant hopes of getting them.
After exchanging their experiences, Meng Nishang, Jian Tonghui, Shen Yimo, and Lian Yu, not only passed the third Heaven's Blight shorter than Shi Xuan, but their dao heart was also not as good as Shi Xuan, so they couldn't sense the time in their own grotto-heaven. However, they also had more than 1,000 years of tempering and accumulation, and each had their own gains. They were one step closer to sensing the time in their own grotto-heaven. Their dao heart cultivation was higher than before Shi Xuan resisted the temptation of the innate dao embryo, but it was lower than after his heart was like a bright moon. There was still a gap between them.
The Hanjing Lord Of Heaven, the ancient supreme spiritual treasure that had preliminary control of time in the grotto-heaven, had also benefited a lot. She was more confident about the Life Reduction that would come in 10,000 years. However, she wasn't in a hurry to pass the tribulation. Just like what the Five Element Boy had said, the most important thing for a supreme spiritual treasure was to spend time tempering one's mind to be outstanding. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pass the Life Reduction.
When the Essence Soul Spiritual Masters woke up from the Instant Forgetting Fruit, they were in a daze. Half of it was because they were immersed in the mysterious feeling of comprehending the Great Dao, and the other half was because the tempering of one's mind was too torturous.
At this time, whoever could control their mind would be able to improve their dao heart cultivation. After a dozen breaths, they would naturally recover, and the gains from tempering their mind would be lower than others. Of course, because Shi Xuan had chosen, there were no Spiritual Masters whose dao heart collapsed during the 100 years of meditation. This was also one of the reasons why Penglai didn't let the Essence Soul Spiritual Masters eat the Instant Forgetting Fruit.
Shi Xuan looked at the Spiritual Masters with a smile. He didn't know who would be the first to control their dao heart.
When Penglai's Essence Soul Spiritual Master ate the Instant Forgetting Fruit, the first one to control his mind was Mo Yuan, followed by Chu Wan 'er and Ming Qingyue, who practiced a technique related to time. Then came Linló and Spiritual Master Jiang, who had passed the Nine Fires Burning Heart Tribulation, and then came Xia Jing, who had not yet passed the third tribulation, as well as Yang Zongzhi, Xie Fangwei, Pan Zikai, and other Second Tribulation Spiritual Masters.
Under the gaze of the Spiritual Masters, Xiao Zhen Zi's eyes regained clarity. He smiled leisurely at the Spiritual Masters and nodded.
"If there are no accidents, within 30 years, Xiao Zhen Zi will be able to trigger the fourth tribulation." Shi Xuan nodded and calculated for Xiao Zhen Zi. After all, he had given him guidance in the past. However, during the calculation, Shi Xuan's dao heart, which had improved greatly in the past few thousand years, suddenly had a whim. He found that Xiao Zhen Zi's previous life seemed to have been concealed and tampered with by something powerful.
"It seems that Xiao Zhen Zi's origin is a bit strange. He is most likely the reincarnation of a powerful expert." Shi Xuan recalled the events before and after Xiao Zhen Zi's birth, and he roughly guessed his origin. "No matter what reincarnation you are, you can cultivate in Yingzhou Sect with peace of mind. If you want to stir up trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."
At the same time, Shi Xuan was also glad that he was cautious. If he often listened to Daozu's public sermons, the fact that he had the Treasure Record would have long been known by others. Who knew if Nirvana Daoist's friends and allies were among them?
Xiao Zhen Zi didn't know that the thing he relied on had been seen through by Shi Xuan, so he was still calm. This made the Lord Of Heaven and Spiritual Masters from other Vast Thousand Worlds sigh that his dao heart was extraordinary. It was very likely that he would be the next Fairy Immortal of Yu Yutian.
The second Spiritual Master who regained control of his mind and regained clarity was beyond the expectations of Mo Jingqiu, Lian Yu, and the other Spiritual Masters. It was not Qin Sheng, nor was it Shu Xiaotian, Gui Yuanzi, or the other three-tribulation Yang God Spiritual Masters, but Xu Yu.
Shi Xuan wasn't too surprised, but he sighed in his heart. When they first met in the Innumerable Mountains, Xu Yu's mind was still above his, and she also achieved the Upper Grade Gold Core before him. But later on, their encounters were different, which was why there was today's gap. But in fact, looking at Xu Yu's cultivation experience over the years, her way of doing things, and her dao heart could not be said to be bad.
"Thank you, Spiritual Master Shi, for the Momentary Forgetfulness Fruit. I'm one step closer to touching the Great Way of Wood." Xu Yu was still cold, but her arrogance was completely restrained.
Shi Xuan nodded. "You and I have known each other for a long time, so there's no need to be so formal. Time flows, bringing the birth of all things until they wither. The first part is quite compatible with the power of wood."
In addition to the few Spiritual Masters in his sect, Xu Yu was considered a Taoist friend that Shi Xuan had met when he first entered the Cultivation World and lived to the present. When he saw her, he felt like he was already a hundred years old. The people he met when he traveled the world in the past had already turned to dust. Thousands of years had passed, and apart from Xu Yu, only Xue He Laozu was left.
After Xu Yu, Xue He Laozu, Qin Sheng, Wu Yuee, Qiao Mubai, Wei Boshu, and the others woke up one after another, followed by Gui Yuanzi, Qinguang Wang, Shu Xiaotian, and the three-tribulation Yang God Spiritual Masters of the Heavenly Fire Sect. Because the rest of the Spiritual Masters had not gone through the Nine Fires Burning Heart Tribulation, and there was nothing special in this aspect, so they waited for a few more breaths before they woke up one by one.
To Shi Xuan's relief, none of the Spiritual Masters waited until they recovered naturally. His judgment was not bad.
After exchanging what they had just learned, the Spiritual Masters stood up and thanked him in unison.
…
Qinguang Wang had tasted the Momentary Forgetfulness Fruit and communicated with Jian Tonghui, who was a three-tribulation Perfected Lord on the Reincarnation Dao. He felt that he had gained a lot and could not wait to return to the headquarters of the Hades Sect to meditate in seclusion. The same was true for the one-tribulation Yang God Spiritual Master King Chujiang.
However, not long after the two of them used the escape technique and turned into two dark green escape lights and flew into the Yinhai, they suddenly felt that there was an earth-shattering change in the place where the Yin Qi and Death Qi were dense. That was one of the places where the Hades Sect's Jindan Grandmaster practiced special Taoist techniques. However, this change only occurred in the mind, without any sound or fluctuation, it was really strange.
The two Spiritual Masters were shocked and doubtful, but because the Yinhai was under the jurisdiction of the Hades Sect, they decided to let Qinguang Wang investigate, while King Chujiang Wang returned to the headquarters to activate the celestial formation. Anyway, with his one-tribulation Yang God cultivation, he could not help at all, it was better to ask the other three-tribulation Perfected Lord Pingdeng.
Qinguang used the Mirror of Sin Ghostly Shadow Escape and turned into a faint shadow, indistinguishable from the fog formed by the Yin Qi and Death Qi around him. He carefully hid himself in the direction of the movement.
When he was near, Qinguang Wang was instantly dumbfounded. He did not even care that the Mirror of Sin Ghostly Shadow Escape dissipated and revealed his body from the Yin Qi.
Not far away, in the tumbling Yin Qi, a huge gap opened up, and the gap turned into an ancient city tower with a blood plaque and black words, the three horrifying and strange words' Gates of Hell '.
Behind the gap, a world of endless Yin Qi and Death Qi with a radius of a million miles had opened up. The turbid river was boiling and was about to connect somewhere. The Bridge of Helplessness, Yin Mountain, the eighteen levels of hell, and so on were about to evolve one by one.
In front of the gap, a green-robed cultivator stood beside him. The Six Paths of Reincarnation behind him rotated slowly. The Six Paths of Heaven, Man, Asura, Hell, Evil Ghost, and Beast were filled with mysterious patterns and corresponded to the six dark and deep holes in the Yin Death World. It seemed that they were the ones that led the whole world to change in a fixed direction.
"The Nether World." Qinguang Wang swallowed non-existent saliva. The green-robed cultivator's side face looked very gloomy and terrifying under the dim light and the Yin Death Environment. It made Qinguang Wang, a Perfected Person who dealt with corpses and ghosts all year round, feel a strange sense of fear. However, his appearance and aura were very familiar because he had seen him just now. "Immortal Shi!"
With a boom, a horrible black hole suddenly appeared in the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Yin Death World, and a hazy passage was created. The turbid Yellow Spring rushed into it and connected to a faintly discernible dark world.
This dark world had a total of nine levels. The turbid Yellow Spring seemed to flow directly into the first level under Shi Xuan's deliberate influence.
The Bridge of Helplessness, the Gates of Hell, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the eighteen levels of hell, and so on all evolved and became clear, and the Perfected Person of the Ghost Path began to come to the first level.
The Nether World was stable. Qinguang Wang saw Shi Xuan turn around. Under the reflection of the environment, his face still looked a bit gloomy. He could not help but bite the bullet and said, "Junior greets Immortal Shi."
Shi Xuan nodded, "No need to be so polite. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Qinguang Wang saw that Shi Xuan spoke casually and did not seem to take the Nether World seriously. He immediately asked curiously, "Immortal Shi, why do you suddenly want to open up the Nether World?"
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said lightly, "To do a good deed every day."
