The Immortal Demon Tribulation was brought forward a thousand years ago, causing Qin Wu and the other newly ascended immortals to feel uneasy. They could vaguely sense that a great disaster was about to befall them. In the face of such a tribulation, they did not have much chance of survival.
The murderous aura of heaven and earth had already blinded their Dao Fruits, causing the weaker immortals and demons to be unable to see the heavenly secrets and fortune. And with the great tribulation, all immortals would not be able to calculate the heavenly secrets and could only obediently face the tribulation.
"After all, it's still early. Why are you all so worried?" Suddenly, an auspicious cloud appeared, and Li Jingxun and Qing Lan landed. "The most important thing now is to destroy the Demonic Blood Pool."
On the way here, Li Jingxun had explained everything clearly to Qing Lan. The girl finally showed a good expression to Qing Hong.
"That's right." Qing Hong nodded. He released the child he had saved and Wang Wenbai: "Although the people have been saved, they are still alive. "Although we saved him, Senior Brother Liu's Sky Shuttle Leaf fell into the blood pool. We must find a way to get it back."
Qing Hong said apologetically, "Senior Brother, don't worry. This is your treasure for the tribulation. If we can't get the Sky Shuttle Leaf back, I'll compensate you with another treasure. "
"No need. Also, I can sense that it's in the blood pool. "
Wu He: "But the Demonic Blood Pool is equivalent to a small sect's blessed land. It suppresses all mystic arts here. Also, without the Sky Shuttle Leaf, how can we enter the blood pool? "
"I have a candidate in mind for this. Maybe we can ask for help," Li Jingxun said to the others. "Senior Brother Qing Hong, please come with me later. As for the Supreme Firmament Palace, please cooperate with the Wuwei Dao Sect to clean up the brothels and get rid of the Demonic Sect's spies. "
The six split up. Qing Hong and Li Jingxun went to a river a thousand miles away.
The clear water gurgled, so clear that the bottom could be seen. On the riverbank, a burly man was building a bridge by himself.
"This person is also from the Mystic Sect?" Qing Hong had a feeling. "No, it's not Pure Spirit Immortal Qi. Instead, it's related to us Qi Practitioners."
"This person is a wandering cultivator who has not yet cultivated to the Way." Li Jingxun explained, "His strength is not bad, and the celestial bridge he built can cross the dung river."
Qing Hong hid his fingers in his sleeves and calculated the man's background.
That big fellow was called Qiao Yuan, who had originally been a craftsman in the mortal world. By chance, he had obtained the legacy of an immortal mansion. Later on, he traveled north and south of the Yangtze River, making it convenient for the common people to walk on the Tower Bridge, benefiting all living beings.
Suddenly, a wisp of spiritual opportunity flashed past the nine-cloud mystical crystal plate. Qing Hong thought to himself, 'This person's opportunity to attain Dao is right in front of me?'
He was carefully sizing up the single-log bridge that Qiao Yuan had built, and his interest was immediately piqued. "Since it's an ancient practitioner, I might as well do them a favor at little cost.
Thus, Qing Hong walked forward and said with a smile, "Old brother, you built the bridge alone, is this bridge sturdy or not?"
Qiao Yuan had just placed the last wooden stake in the water when he heard someone shouting from the shore. He smiled casually. "Don't worry, little brother. I've been building bridges for many years, and that's what I've learned. "If the bridge doesn't come down, I'll put myself on the river to let you cross."
"That's what you said, star. If the bridge collapses, don't go back on your word."
Qiao Yuan clapped his hands and put away his tools. He stood at the other end and watched Qing Hong cross the bridge.
Qing Hong and Li Jingxun were talking in low voices. The two of them didn't cross the bridge right away but were looking around for something heavy to hold it down.
Li Jingxun arrived at the foot of the mountain not far away. The green mountains were rugged, the strange peaks towering, and the precipitous cliffs.
"It's here." Li Jingxun mumbled to herself. She used the red brush to write down the names of the surrounding mountains on the jade book.
"Spirit of Green Mountain, soul of Five Peaks, follow my heart. Come!" A beam of spiritual light shot into the Book of Virtue from each of the nearby mountains. A few mountain spirits appeared on the page, and the projection of each small mountain was the weight of a mountain range.
Qing Hong walked toward the nearby river until he finally arrived at a big river mouth. The river mouth gathered water from all directions. The clear water was deep and turbid, and the waves rolled endlessly like a stampede of horses and deer. Its momentum covered the sky.
Qing Hong threw the Biechao pearl into the water one by one to absorb the water from all directions. It was also very heavy.
The two of them were ready and went back to the side of the bridge.
Li Jingxun said softly, "Big brother, once the two of us go up, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your bridge anymore."
The big man stood to the side and laughed boldly. "Don't worry, miss! Even if you brought the three mountains and the five lakes, you still wouldn't be able to crush my bridge. "
After he said that, he saw Qing Hong pulling Li Jingxun, and the two of them walked slowly onto the bridge.
Just as they took their first step, there was a loud rumble as a wooden pile at the bottom of the bridge suddenly collapsed.
It was a thousand-year-old ironwood, which only had time to make a few bubbles when it sank into the water before completely disappearing.
Qiao Yuan then saw that something wasn't right. "Those two aren't ordinary people? Are they here specifically to pick a fight? "
He looked bewildered as the two of them took another step forward. The body of the bridge swayed as though it would completely collapse the next moment.
"That's not good!" Qiao Yuan jumped into the water without hesitation, using his mana to prop up the bridge in an attempt to support the weight from above.
But Li Jingxun had brought the essence of the three mountains, and Qing Hong had summoned the water from all directions. The two of them had the spirit of the mountains beside them as tigers, and the spirit of the water was like a dragon. The dragons and tigers fought fiercely, which further increased the pressure.
"That's not good. Those two are using the power of the mountains and rivers, which is clearly the true essence of the immortals. What are they trying to do with me? "Qiao Yuan had a stubborn temper, having spent a hundred years building 359 bridges in the human world. His stubborn temper flared up, and he steeled his heart to use all his mana to resist the power of the mountains and rivers.
Qing Hong pulled Li Jingxun's hand, which was soft and white, as smooth and warm as white jade.
"Whether it's her eyebrows or her skin, she's no less beautiful than a stunning beauty. It's just that her appearance … "
Li Jingxun's face was too ordinary. Among the immortals and The Witch that Qing Hong knew, she could be said to be the worst. Even Qiu Jinling and her sister were a bit better than her. They fell into the crowd and almost couldn't find her.
The two of them stopped in their tracks and walked slowly toward the opposite shore. Below them, Qiao Yuan's mana wasn't enough, and he gradually couldn't hold on.
"Elder Apprentice Brother, do you want to go easy?" Li Jingxun had already seen Qing Hong's intention, but Qiao Yuan's mana couldn't keep up, and he couldn't just keep pressing.
"No rush. We have to finish those 81 steps." Qing Hong explained as they walked, "Nine by nine returns to one. Only by withstanding our nine by nine calamities can he smoothly become an immortal."
The two of them had already taken 49 steps.
Qiao Yuan couldn't hold on again. His body was swaying as he kept struggling in the water. But he had been accumulating merit for a hundred years, benefiting all living beings. He had received incense offerings from the unseen world, and he had a strong power of merit. A layer of golden light protected his body, which made his mind clear again. The bridges in all directions glowed and turned into golden dragons that flew to Qiao Yuan's side.
Those bridges covered the north and south of the Yangtze River. There were iron bridges hanging between two mountains, stone bridges arching above the lake, and wooden bridges flying over the top of the rapids. Qiao Yuan had spent a lot of effort to build those bridges. Wisps of spirituality flew into Qiao Yuan's body, forming an illusory illusion of Fruit of the Way behind him.
That was a bridge connecting the mountains and rivers. It rose from Qiao Yuan's back to act as a bridge between heaven and man, opening up the acupoints in his body. Wisps of vital qi poured into his soul from his limbs and bones, finally forming the entrance acupoint and condensing into the Golden Elixir of the Great Path.
"My Path is complete!" The big man's spirit was blessed, and a beam of golden light flew out of the ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows and fused with the bridge above his head.
Including this one, there were exactly three hundred and sixty of them. Coinciding with the number of the heavens, it turned into flowing light that danced beside him.
Qing Hong and Qiao Yuan stepped forward, but the power of the mountains and rivers was being shared by the 360 bridges. After it was dispersed, the power was weakened, which allowed the bridge to continue existing.
As the two of them walked to the other side and crossed the 81st step, Qiao Yuan's work was complete. He had completely refined a Man of the Way fruit.
His Fruit of the Way oath had something to do with the bridge, which was the number of heaven, earth, and man.
Qiao Yuan had used the bridge to prove his Way, and he would build three bridges to prove the Way fruit of the Ground Fairies.
Li Jingxun's eyes twinkled. "Three vows. One is in the sky, to practice the Way and improve the Way fruit. One is in the ground, to take the universe as wood and stone, to use fortune as a hatchet, to add a natural bridge to the myriad phenomena of nature. One is in the people, to continue accumulating merit to build bridges for the common people. "
"That's a very courageous act," Qing Hong praised as he raised his head to look at the thunderclouds that had appeared above Qiao Yuan's head.
Following the practice of becoming a Man of the Way, the three calamities would automatically descend. Moreover, the calamities of the ancient Qi Practitioners were stronger than those of ordinary Celestial Demons, at least three times stronger.
Looking at the dark sky and the explosion of wind and fire, Li Jingxun's expression changed. "Isn't this calamity a little too strong?"
"Whether or not it will fall is another matter." Qing Hong was deep in thought when he saw the golden light of merit emanating from Qiao Yuan's body. The golden light gathered the thoughts of all living beings and could help him offset some of the calamities.
Merit was just a noun with three known meanings.
First, understanding the heart was merit, and seeing one's nature was virtue. Seeing one's own heart was the merit of one's self-cultivation.
First, the gratitude of all living beings. That was the spiritual wish power, which was similar to the incense of the Way of the Way. It was a joy to help others, to receive their gratitude, to be enshrined on a long life memorial tablet, and there would naturally be a wisp of gratitude that would turn into wish power to protect one's fate.
First, it was the merit of obeying heaven and the virtue of fate. Following the operation of heaven and receiving the care of heaven and earth, this was the merit of heaven and earth, and it was mostly manifested by the black and yellow qi.
"Qiao Yuan has never received the favor of heaven and earth. But he has built those bridges so that the common people can live in peace. There are even people who offer incense and worship him as the Bridge Lord. Therefore, the power of merit and wish power protects the body and worships him as a god to reduce the calamity. "
Qiao Yuan didn't have a heavenly merit, but the merit he had accumulated over a hundred years was more abundant than that of Qing Hong and Tushan, so he could easily get through the calamity.
Finally, 360 golden dragons entered his body, and there was a crackling sound in his body. His mortal body faded and became a true Dharmakaya.
A rainbow bridge flashed behind him. One end was connected to the flesh, and the other was the Paramita Path Fruit, which symbolized the Path Fruit of the Ground Fairies. Once he could break through his Celestial Bridge, he would be able to cultivate the Way of the Ground Fairies. That was the Heavenly Bridge of his Path Fruit Oath.
Qiao Yuan became an immortal, and his entire temperament changed. He floated down in front of Qing Hong.
"Thank you for your pointers, teacher." After Qiao Yuan had comprehended the Way, he respectfully saluted Qing Hong.
Qing Hong accepted the salute and then returned half a salute. "You are older than me, friend, so we can talk as peers. You have accumulated a lot, and you have cultivated for a hundred years to achieve the Way. Even without me, you would have had the opportunity to achieve the Way in the future. "
"But, now that the calamity has started, if I don't quickly become an immortal, I will certainly be involved in the karma of the Immortal Demon." After becoming an immortal, Qiao Yuan had already understood the nature of karma. Fortunately, he had cultivated the ancient method. Otherwise, wouldn't he have died in the calamity?
"Moreover, I have a feeling that the calamity this time is somewhat related to me." Now that Qiao Yuan had become an immortal, he could sense that his calamity had dissipated. The so-called calamity had begun to change. Encountering life after the calamity was his great opportunity.
The two of them congratulated him and then got down to business.
Hearing that he was going to build the bridge, Qiao Yuan said readily, "That's simple. You two help me become an immortal, and it's a trifling matter. I'll go with you."
