Mu Qingxiao's heart warmed as he glanced at the crimson brand on his left shoulder. Who said the goddess was heartless? He had misunderstood her.
Capturing him to Kunlun Mountain wasn't to imprison him, but another way to protect him.
If she really wanted to kill him, she didn't have to go through so much trouble. With his strength at the peak of the ninth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, she could probably kill him with a wave of her sleeve.
Although she always had a cold and dignified face, she gave him enough cultivation resources.
When she left, she even removed the brand of the Nether River Patriarch. It was obvious that she cared about him.
After returning to his senses, Mu Qingxiao showed a touch of gentleness on Jun Yi's face.
Then, he came to an empty area filled with devastation. Divine runes flickered and a black lotus flew out from his forehead. Sitting on the black lotus, Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, he was already at the peak of the ninth level of the Profound Immortal Realm. After breaking through the previous bottleneck, it was a brand new realm.
Golden Immortal.
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but he was only at the Golden Immortal Realm. In just a few years, Mu Qingxiao had already caught up.
If he wanted to enter the Golden Immortal Realm, he had to pass two tribulations and forge a golden body. Looking at the two remaining pills in the jade bottle, Mu Qingxiao's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Sitting on the Black Lotus of Destruction, his white robe turned into Immortal Qi. He poured out the two pills from the jade bottle and threw them into his mouth. Then, he closed his eyes and raised his palm to the sky.
When he circulated his cultivation method, the pills turned into vast, surging purple-gold energy that flowed into his body through his throat.
The vast purple-gold energy surged into his limbs and bones. His meridians swelled and crazily washed over Mu Qingxiao's body.
Immediately, his jade-like body emitted a dazzling golden luster.
Whoosh … Whoosh …
The surging energy in his body could be clearly heard. It was like waves crashing against the shore, surging violently. Exuberant blood energy spread, causing young saplings to emerge from the devastated ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The strong and powerful heartbeat was like a dull drum, spreading with the breeze to the depths of the giant ancient forest.
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao's body began to transform. Her bone marrow constantly produced golden blood that contained exuberant vitality. Her meridians, flesh, and bones all glowed with a golden luster. She was like a shining golden body.
His jade-like body glowed with a golden light, as if it was a piece of metal that had been tempered thousands of times. It was flawless, without a trace of impurities.
Inside his body, the black Neidan spun at a high speed. The violet-gold energy flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing his flesh and bones.
Golden Immortals were different from Xuan Immortals. Their bodies were immortal, and their souls could survive in many ways. For Immortals, it was true immortality, but it was also a gap that many Immortals could not cross.
For many Itinerant Immortals, without resources, background, or Dharma treasures, transcending the first tribulation was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, let alone Golden Immortals who had to transcend two tribulations consecutively.
"Swish swish …"
All of a sudden, a transparent and cold gust of wind descended from the sky and struck towards Mu Qingxiao at lightning speed.
This gust of wind was clearly stronger and fiercer than when he was in the Xuan Immortal Stage.
"Clang!"
Mu Qingxiao seemed to be unaffected by the gust of wind. He sat firmly on the Black Lotus of Destruction. With a sharp clang, the gust of wind struck his body without any deviation.
However, the golden body glowed, and the gust of wind did not leave a single mark.
As if provoked, the gust of wind in the sky surged even more violently. It came from all directions and struck the golden body, but it still did not leave a single mark.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Mu Qingxiao's body glowed with a golden light. A terrifying gust of wind swept out, and the gust of wind was instantly disrupted. It whistled and blew in all directions, but it could not touch his body at all.
After being refined by ten purple-gold elixirs, his body was unbelievably strong. The gust of wind could not touch him at all. He could tell that he was definitely not weaker than the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
After a while, the gust of wind stopped. Mu Qingxiao was still sitting on the Black Lotus of Destruction. As for the surrounding rocks, they were covered in dense cracks.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Not long after the gust of wind stopped, a scorching pillar of fire rushed down from the sky. The heavenly fire spread, and the scorching heat caused the entire space to distort.
The second tribulation of a Golden Immortal, the Golden Body Cast by the Heavenly Fire.
Under the terrifying heat, all the green trees in the ancient forest withered. The lush greenery turned into a withered yellow in the blink of an eye. Even the surrounding rocks showed signs of melting.
One had to know that this was the Kunlun Celestial Mountain. The Immortal Stones here were far from comparable to those elsewhere.
However, the Immortal Stones still melted under the heavenly fire. Even the ground soon turned crimson. One could only imagine how hot the flames were.
The blazing pillar of fire that fell from the sky illuminated Mu Qingxiao's entire body red. The golden luster also dimmed a little. However, his expression remained the same as usual. The divine inscriptions on his forehead flickered.
Suddenly, the Black Lotus of Destruction bloomed with black light. Monstrous flames swept out. Waves of fire rolled and covered the horizon.
The moment the scorching pillar of fire fell from the sky, the black divine fire climbed up. Like bacteria, it crazily swallowed the heavenly fire.
On the Black Lotus of Destruction, Mu Qingxiao's body was wrapped in black flames. He grew rapidly against the wind. In the blink of an eye, a pair of black wings hundreds of feet long covered the sky. A loud phoenix cry rang out.
Soon after, a black phoenix that was over a thousand feet long and had huge wings soared into the sky, circling above the giant ancient forest while facing the black flames.
The pillars of heavenly fire that fell from the sky became violent again. Bang, bang, bang, bang. The entire ancient forest was enveloped by heavenly fire. Everything in it turned into liquid at an unstoppable speed. White smoke rose in spirals.
The entire ancient forest was enveloped by heavenly fire. The majestic Kunlun Celestial Mountain burned with raging flames. However, the fairies in the gorgeous palaces outside the ancient forest did not seem to feel it.
Screech!
A loud phoenix cry rang out. Monstrous black flames spread and swallowed everything. The heavenly fire's intensity became smaller …
Mu Qingxiao flapped his wings. His golden phoenix eyes were indifferent. He opened his mouth and a terrifying suction force spread out.
Suddenly, the flames that covered the ancient forest gathered at an extremely fast speed. Finally, like a majestic river, they poured endlessly into his body.
His body was like a bottomless pit. He swallowed all the flames. Instead, his black feathers bloomed with a dazzling luster.
All the flames in the sky disappeared without a trace. The black flames on the black phoenix's body spread. In the blink of an eye, it shrank to six feet and finally turned into a human.
