Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

Chapter 1972 Thunder Sea, Ascension Passage!

same!

By then...

The rate at which Cheng Buzheng's internal laws are consumed will inevitably increase accordingly.

The duration of this effort will likely be even shorter than half a day.

This is beyond question.

He was well aware of this.

At this moment, Cheng Buzheng had no way out and could only grit his teeth and continue forward.

And it was at this moment...

Sha Minghong, who was in front, paused again, slowly turned around, and looked over, his gaze falling on the layer of dark yellow light surrounding Cheng Buzheng.

A faint, teasing smile played at the corners of his lips as he spoke:

"Young friend, given your current state, there is probably no way you can personally see me off."

Especially when the word "personally" is mentioned,

He deliberately emphasized his words.

His eyes held a subtle, unspoken meaning, as if he were hinting at something.

It also seems like it was just a simple joke.

Then,

His tone suddenly changed, his expression became very serious, and he said solemnly:

"We are now in the inner layer of the forbidden area, but we are still quite a long way from the ascension passage!"

Moreover, the closer one gets to the ascension channel, the stronger the power of laws contained within the lightning will increase exponentially.

At that time, even my [Purgatory World Annihilation Millstone] will have to expend a lot of power to resist it.

Therefore, I once again advise you, young friend, if you wish to see the 'Ascension Passage' with your own eyes and witness my departure, you should come with me.

This will save you a lot of trouble.

As for letting that Nightmare Clan brat turn back?

Sha Minghong knew in his heart that it was impossible.

The other party is cautious by nature and will not easily return without personally watching him leave this realm.

So he didn't bring it up again.

He simply suggested that the other person travel with him.

Hearing this,

Cheng Buzheng did not immediately reject the idea; instead, he fell silent, a rare occurrence.

His brows furrowed tightly.

His mind raced with calculations, his expression shifting rapidly.

After all, traveling with Shark Minghong also means that this Dharma body will be under Shark Minghong's control at all times.

Once the other party harbors malicious intentions and uses the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] to suppress him, even if this Dharma body is a Law Treasure Body with defensive power far exceeding that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, it will be unable to resist at all.

At that time, no matter how many times he rebuilds his Dharma body?

Ultimately, their very essence will be obliterated by the [Hellish Annihilation Millstone], leading to utter annihilation.

There will absolutely not be a second outcome.

Then, his thoughts shifted, and some of his concerns dissipated.

'wrong!

Although I cannot resist him at this moment, I can simply abandon this physical body and let a wisp of my true spirit return to my original form.

In this way, the fundamental principles of the law will not be greatly damaged.

It wasn't a fatal loss.

Moreover, this Dharma body is merely a wisp of my true spirit that has been separated from me; it does not carry the original body's natal spiritual treasure.

There was no profit to be made for Shark Minghong.

He wouldn't go to such lengths to suppress my insignificant Dharma body.

'Besides!'

Shark Minghong had already shown me goodwill, and he was burdened with a great oath against his inner demons.

If they were to attack me lightly, avoiding the consequences of breaking the oath of inner demons would be far more difficult than I imagined.

The probability of the worst-case scenario occurring is not high.

'Besides, what that old monster said is right!'

If I continue to insist on traveling alone, in my current state, I will never be able to reach the 'Ascension Passage'.

Not to mention personally watching him leave this world,

At that time, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

That would truly be a losing proposition.

'Hmm, worth a try!'

As long as I can see him leave with my own eyes, even if there are some risks, it's not something I can't do.

A moment later, Cheng Buzheng made a decision in his heart, and his expression became firm.

Immediately,

He raised his head, clasped his hands deeply in a fist and palm salute to Sha Minghong, his tone respectful yet firm:

"Then thank you very much for your guidance, senior."

The voice just fell,

With a thought, Cheng Buzheng transformed into a streak of light, without the slightest hesitation, and plunged directly into the crimson light curtain descending from the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone].

Standing side by side with Shark Minghong.

Within the crimson light barrier, all the thunder and roar from the outside world were blocked out.

Shark Minghong sensed the extra presence beside him, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself:

It seems the goodwill shown earlier wasn't in vain.

otherwise,

This cautious Nightmare Clan child will never easily agree to travel with me.

of course,

Sha Minghong was also aware that, besides the goodwill he had shown earlier, other objective conditions were also a significant factor in Cheng Buzheng's agreement to travel together.

If Cheng Buzheng still had magical treasures at his disposal, he probably wouldn't have easily lowered his guard and shared the same light screen with me.

He then glanced at the lightning outside the light screen, which was still flashing wildly and relentlessly attacking it. Without wasting any more time, he spoke calmly to Cheng Buzheng beside him:

"Let's go!"

"Ok!"

Cheng Buzheng nodded slightly, glancing around out of the corner of his eye, keeping a close eye on Sha Minghong's every move.

We dare not relax even for a moment.

next moment,

The crimson light that had enveloped the two of them moved again, this time even faster than before.

Like a streak of crimson lightning, it pierced through the innermost layer of this forbidden area, where thunder roared.

Wherever it went...

The thunder and lightning were easily dispelled by the power of the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone], allowing for a smooth and unobstructed journey.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Perhaps half an hour,

The crimson streak that had been cutting across suddenly stopped and came to a steady halt in the void.

"arrive!"

Sha Minghong looked up at the boundless sea of ​​lightning before him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

There is expectation.

There was also a hint of lingering affection, and she suddenly spoke.

Cheng Buzheng followed Sha Minghong's gaze and was instantly stunned by the scene before him.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

My breath caught in my throat for a moment.

The expanse of land ahead seemed to be the origin of thunder.

High in the sky, bolts of lightning, thicker and more terrifying than before, crashed down like waterfalls.

Each bolt of lightning carried earth-shattering power.

As the electric arcs crackled, they exuded an extremely rich aura of the Law of Thunder.

boom!

Boom! Boom!

The deafening thunder shook the void, causing jagged cracks to appear across its surface.

The crack healed itself as soon as it appeared.

This process repeats endlessly, without end.

The countless bolts of lightning converged, forming a boundless ocean of lightning.

The lightning was so bright it was blinding.

An atmosphere of destruction permeated the air.

This place seemed as if it could be torn apart by lightning at any moment, like a true forbidden land for living beings, fraught with unpredictable danger.

Even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm would find it difficult to escape unscathed once they entered.

Seeing this scene,

A look of undisguised horror flashed deep in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil as he pondered to himself.

'What terrifying lightning of the law!'

Each strike contained the power of a peak-level expert, more than twice as powerful as the lightning at the inner entrance!

'If one's understanding of the laws has not reached the peak of the first realm, it is impossible to last long in this sea of ​​lightning!'

Ultimately, the only path left is death and annihilation.

Even a trace of true spirit could not be preserved.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator, having forged a Law-based spiritual body,

Possessing the so-called 'immortality,' under the endless onslaught of the law's lightning...

It's only a matter of time before the fundamental principles are gradually eroded.

Unless one possesses the method to forge a Law-based body, enabling them to withstand the erosion of the Law of Lightning with their own Law power,

otherwise,

There is absolutely no hope of getting through this sea of ​​lightning.

Even with the aid of a Law-based Body, the chances of surviving this sea of ​​lightning are slim.

Only by possessing a spiritual treasure for protection can one have absolute certainty of surviving this sea of ​​lightning ravaged by the power of laws and reaching the ascension passage.

Just as Cheng Buzheng was carefully examining the terrifying sea of ​​lightning ahead, secretly making plans in his mind...

suddenly,

His gaze sharpened, fixing on the center of the sea of ​​lightning, and his expression turned serious.

It was as if they had discovered something extremely peculiar.

Unable to resist asking:

"Senior, what is that?"

Upon hearing this,

Following Cheng Buzheng's gaze, Sha Minghong looked down at the center of the sea of ​​thunder and explained softly:

"This is the ascension passage that was created by the very origin of this world."

This is also my path to return.

The two gazed at the center of the sea of ​​lightning, raging with the power of laws, where a massive vortex of lightning was slowly rotating.

The vortex was purplish-gold in color, and its surface was crackling with countless thick bolts of lightning.

With each rotation, an extremely terrifying power of law surged forth from the vortex, spreading throughout the entire sea of ​​lightning.

This made the power of this sea of ​​lightning even more terrifying.

Even more dangerous.

Obviously,

This sea of ​​lightning, which terrifies countless Nascent Soul cultivators, is not only due to the constant barrage of lightning strikes that emanate from the laws of nature.

A large part of the reason also stems from the existence of that lightning vortex—

It was the power of the laws constantly surging from the vortex that made the lightning in this sea of ​​thunder so powerful and incomparable.

Sha Minghong glanced at the vortex in the sea of ​​lightning and continued in a calm tone:

"However, with your foundation, young friend, if you go all out, passing through this sea of ​​law lightning should not be a problem."

Speaking of which,

He paused slightly, his expression becoming more serious, and continued:

"But young friend, remember this is only the first step if you want to ascend to the Spirit Realm!"

Even more dangerous is the interior of the ascension passage.

Not only does it contain denser and more terrifying law-based lightning,

There are also spatial turbulences that can erode the very essence of the laws.

A little careless,

They would then die and their very essence would dissipate, without even the qualification to ascend.

Spatial turbulence?

A look of confusion flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

He was no stranger to spatial turbulence.

However, in his understanding, spatial turbulence did not seem to pose a threat to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

'Can spatial turbulence really threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator?'

Cheng Buzheng secretly wondered,

"You should know that even Nascent Soul cultivators who haven't mastered spatial supernatural abilities or forged a Law-based body can still stay in the spatial turbulence layer for a short time thanks to their powerful physical bodies and vast magical power."

It just can't be stored for long.

Otherwise, once magical power is exhausted, one would need to sacrifice one's own fundamental laws to resist the erosion of spatial turbulence.

'However, judging from Shark Minghong's tone, the spatial turbulence within this ascension passage doesn't seem to be as simple as he imagined.'

There are likely untold dangers lurking within.

Then,

Without hesitation, he voiced his doubts respectfully:

"Senior! What do you mean by that?"

Spatial turbulence doesn't seem to pose a threat to a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Could it be that the spatial passage within this lightning vortex is very long, with spatial turbulence along the way?

At that time, we will not only need to resist the spatial turbulence, but also the onslaught of the lightning of the laws!

The spatial passage before him was crucial to his future ascension to the Spirit Realm.

He couldn't help but care.

The more you understand now, the better prepared you will be when you ascend to immortality, and the greater your chances of success.

That way, you won't be caught off guard and find yourself in danger.

Upon hearing this,

Sha Minghong gently shook his head and said in a solemn tone:

"Young friend, you've misunderstood!"

The spatial turbulence I'm referring to is no ordinary spatial force.

Instead, it is a spatial turbulence containing spatial laws.

It's not the ordinary spatial turbulence you might be familiar with!

The two are not even on the same level in terms of power.

"This kind of spatial turbulence, which contains the laws of space, does not appear frequently, but its threat level far exceeds that of lightning containing the laws of thunder—"

It can not only tear apart your physical body, but also directly erode your very essence of law.

Once caught up in it, even I would need to expend considerable effort to escape.

Not to mention you haven't even broken through to the Void Refinement Realm yet.

"Therefore, young friend, before you enter the ascension channel in the future, you should make as many preparations as possible and try to improve your own strength."

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to pass smoothly.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Cheng Buzheng, with a grateful expression, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sha Minghong again, his tone sincere.

"I am deeply grateful and will certainly make better preparations in the future to live up to your advice."

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind:

It seems that before ascending, I must achieve the state of "unity of man and treasure."

With ten times the amplification of the laws, I'm confident I can overcome even the most terrifying spatial turbulence and successfully reach the Spirit Realm.

Just then, as if he had thought of something, Shark Minghong's expression suddenly became even more serious, and he added:

"By the way, young friend, when you ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future, it's best not to reveal your main cultivation law unless absolutely necessary."

Especially since what you've grasped is a top-level principle.

Once exposed, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful individuals, and its life may be in danger.

Therefore, if you are accidentally exposed, it's best to avoid future problems.

To avoid bringing disaster upon oneself!

As they were speaking,

A distant memory surfaced in Sha Minghong's eyes, and his expression became complex.

Then, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

That murderous intent was chilling and bone-piercing, as if it were hatred that had been brewing for countless years, making people shudder.

see,

A strange light flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, and he secretly wondered to himself.

I don't know why Shark Minghong suddenly said those words.

We have no idea what kind of past he harbors in his heart.

But he didn't ask any further questions, and simply said calmly:

"Senior, what do you mean by that?"

I humbly request your guidance, senior.
