Chapter 289 - Have You Seen The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment…When The Primordial World Is

Chapter 289 Have You Seen The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment...When The Primordial World Is Ugly?

“Sect Leader, the spiritual explosion incidents have begun again in the past half a month. This time, they are more frequent than the previous time.”

“Ahem, ahem... I’m not deaf. I heard it long

ago.”

In the Immortal Du Sect’s Immortal Du Hall, the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, who was dressed in a blue robe, coughed and looked at the elders in front of him helplessly. Could he have done anything about the explosion? Ever since there was an unknown spiritual energy disturbance around the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou had already brought the elders to investigate many times. In the end, they came to two different conclusions.

The elders of the Immortal Du Sect all felt that that might be a “spiritual charge” caused by the unstable spiritual meridians in the earth.

Perhaps, two experts were sparring and fighting nearby, causing such a commotion.

However, no matter which explanation it was, it would not be convincing. However, the Sect Leader had already guessed the correct answer...

Changshou is probably cultivating some great mystical ability that the Great Daoist Master taught him. Every time the spiritual energy erupted, it would appear a thousand kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect. Moreover, it would appear in different directions at random times.

Although the Sect Leader did not have any evidence, all the evidence proved his guess to be correct. “It should be a certain expert cultivating some mystical ability. Ahem.” Ji Wuyou wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and smiled.

He continued, “Don’t be nervous. Elders, restrict the disciples of the various peaks and cultivate in peace. The opening ceremony is round the corner. There are many complicated matters. Now, the Immortal Du Sect is going to send away another batch of disciples who have succeeded in their cultivation. It’s more important to make proper arrangements for them.”

The elders looked at each other and roughly understood that the Sect Leader knew something. They agreed and left.

“Um...”

There was a hint of a smile on Ji Wuyou’s pale face. He thought for a while and rode a cloud with his hands behind his back. He headed towards the Little Qiong Peak and coughed lightly. After flying for less than a thousand feet, the Sect Leader’s figure disappeared into the air, causing many people in the sect to be unable to continue tracking him with their probing gazes and immortal senses.

After a while, the Sect Leader appeared outside the Pill Chamber’s array formation of the Little Qiong Peak. He sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou in the Pill Chamber... and coughed twice.

The surrounding array formations were activated. The Sect Leader took a step forward and his figure flickered a few times before he appeared in front of the Pill Chamber.

However, Li Changshou sat quietly in the Pill Chamber and did not move.

Ji Wuyou frowned slightly...

After all, he was the Sect Leader in name. Li Changshou should welcome him.

However, Ji Wuyou exclaimed softly and realized that something was amiss with Li Changshou, who was sitting beside the Pill Furnace.

He could not say for sure, but he felt like an empty shell. It was a coincidence that the Sect Leader had come.

At that moment, Li Changshou was at the crucial moment of “condensing the pill”. His mind was focused on his main body, which was hiding in a rift in underground rock 3,500 kilometers away. He was watching the “pill” in the herb tripod that was constantly emitting seven-colored light. The only distraction Li Changshou could have was letting the Sect Leader in. However, it only took a few breaths for Li Changshou’s main body to quickly use his escape technique to escape hundreds of kilometers away. He had already done all the steps before the pill was formed. Whether it would explode or remain stable would depend on its own luck. In front of the Pill Furnace in the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s body trembled slightly. A wisp of his attention returned to the ‘main body’ paper effigy in the Pill Chamber.

He immediately stood up and bowed to Ji Wuyou with a Dao salute. “Sect Leader, please forgive me. I was thinking about the pills and could not come back to my senses!” “Hahaha, ahem, it’s fine.” Ji Wuyou laughed and walked into the Pill Chamber. He felt much more relieved. Why did the Sect Leader suddenly come?

Li Changshou took out a chair from his treasure pouch and placed it in the middle of the Pill Chamber. He respectfully invited the Sect Leader to take a seat. Ji Wuyou smiled and asked, “Changshou, have you been cultivating smoothly recently?” “Sect Leader, my cultivation has been quite smooth.”

“Okay.” Ji Wuyou nodded. He pondered for a while and said, “There have been constant movements outside the sect recently. Are you cultivating your mystical abilities?”

Li Changshou subconsciously wanted to deny

it.

He wanted to say, “How can that be? Impossible. I don’t have that ability.” However, from the looks of it, the Sect Leader seemed to be very certain that there was already concrete evidence. “I did that accidentally...”

“Were you the one who caused the previous 60-odd explosions and the recent 100-odd explosions in the past half a month?” “I’m refining a special pill.” Li Changshou felt a little awkward. “However, I’m outside the immortal sect. Recently, I’ve also placed the venue where I refined pills underground. That way, the ground will only tremble slightly.” “Yes, refining pills is a good thing, but you have to be mindful of your own safety.” Ji Wuyou lectured him casually. Then, he looked at Li Changshou and asked in a low voice, “Changshou, what pill are you refining? Why did you cause such a commotion?” “I can’t explain it for now...” “There’s no need to explain. I’m just wondering.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Since I’m sure that you were the one who did it, there’s no harm in it. I will inform the sect members later and let them cultivate in peace. Changshou, how long will you continue refining pills like this?” “‘This...”

Li Changshou thought about it carefully and suddenly realized something. The pill just now did not explode? “Sect Leader, please wait a moment. Let me deduce,” Li Changshou agreed. The paper effigy stood in front of Ji Wuyou. 1,500 kilometers away, his main body hurriedly checked the location of the “pill”.

The small herb tripod was safe and sound. There was a pill inside that was emitting a colorful glow. There was a layer of Yin and Yang surrounding it, and five stars were chasing each other inside. Is it stable?!

Li Changshou’s eyes widened. He quickly picked up the jade token and sorted out the refinement process of the pill. He added the order, timing, control curve of the immortal power, and so on!

This Sect Leader is my lucky star! Li Changshou carefully probed the various characteristics of the pill and suppressed the joy in his heart.

What did that mean?

The Immortal Research is about to explode. How can I continue if it does not explode?

As long as it exploded well, he would definitely succeed!

Li Changshou confirmed that the pill was completely stable and had reached his expectations. He immediately tidied up the place and headed for the next temporary venue!

In the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s expression did not change much. At that moment, he had already given the Sect Leader a precise duration. “Sect Leader, I will be able to refine this pill in half a month at most.”

“That’s good. Ahem, ahem.”

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “The opening ceremony is approaching. Don’t alarm those disciples who are going to become official disciples because of this matter. Changshou, are you willing to take in any disciples?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve just reached the Essence Immortal realm. It’s not appropriate for me to take in disciples.” “That’s right. I forgot that it’s not convenient for you to reveal your cultivation realm.” Ji Wuyou lifted the hem of his Daoist robe and stood up. “In that case, I won’t delay you from studying the Dao of alchemy. If you need anything, come to the Immortal Du Hall to look for me. There are many things going on in the sect recently. I can’t meditate in seclusion.”

“Sect Leader, if you need anything, just tell me. Please recuperate, Sect Leader.”

“Okay.”

Ji Wuyou waved his hand and left the Pill Chamber on his own. His figure disappeared into the sunlight and vanished without a trace. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and was a little puzzled...

Although he had used the Grand Pure Dao to let the Sect Leader know that he knew the Great Daoist Master and had received benefits from him, why was the Sect Leader so polite to him?

Li Changshou could not think of anything. He could only accredit it to the fame of the Great Daoist Master. Causing trouble! The paper effigy sat back in front of the Pill Furnace and activated the array formations around the Pill Chamber. A wisp of immortal senses surrounded the Little Qiong Peak. Li Changshou focused all his attention on his incarnation

The core pill had already been completed. The most difficult step for the Golden Immortal realm paper effigy had been completed! He could not be anxious. He had to be steady. The success of refining a pill was obviously coincidental.

Li Changshou changed the testing ground and followed the previous method. He recalled the feeling he had previously and perfectly replicated the process of refining pills. In the end... it exploded. However, this time, the “pill” exploded at the last moment. Li Changshou keenly captured the subtle changes in the power of the five elements within the pill before the explosion.

Overall, the pills were stable.

According to the subtle changes this time, Li Changshou immediately made a reverse deduction. He quickly found the problem and made corresponding adjustments. The second success and the third success followed!

Two days later, Li Changshou, who had triggered six spiritual explosions, looked at the immortal power cores in front of him and finally smiled in satisfaction.

What happened next was much easier.

Li Changshou took out the new paper effigy and carefully placed a pill into the restrictions on the paper effigy’s abdomen, making the pill the core of the restrictions. In the next moment, colorful immortal light shone. The dozens of layers of restrictions slowly lit up on the paper effigy’s body. The immortal power communicated and circulated on its own.

Li Changshou placed his left hand on the paper effigy’s back and injected wisps of immortal power... He was approaching the Golden Immortal node and breaking through the Golden Immortal node...

Immortal powers circulated rapidly in the paper effigy’s body through the core of the pill. After a while, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. His main body used Earth Escape and disappeared. His attention landed on the paper effigy.

He was not as happy as he had imagined.

It was undoubtedly because the production costs of that thing... were too high!

One of the advantages of the paper effigy was that it was cheap. The paper effigy of the Golden Immortal realm, on the other hand, was worth about 60 times more than the paper effigy of the Heaven Immortal realm, excluding the huge amount of herbs and precious materials that he had spent during the “research and development period”.

The requirements for the spiritual tree’s sap alone were quite harsh. Only tree sap above a thousand years old could create such a paper effigy. However, with the Golden Immortal incarnation, it was indeed much more convenient for him to go out and do things. At that moment, the greatest advantage of the paper effigy technique was that the paper effigy did not have any intelligence. It was like a “body” that could carry the power of his mind and essence soul. “Let’s test its power.” Li Changshou closed his eyes and sensed that the paper effigy was more nimble when he was controlling it. It was also easier to control his immortal power through the core pill. With a thought, faint smoke surged out from the paper effigy’s body. A middle-aged man walked out. That was the appearance of the paper effigy. Li Changshou tried to release a few spells. They were indeed powerful. The immortal power inside was stable. Next, he prepared to test the stability of the paper effigies under various extreme conditions. For example, getting beaten up by 300 burly men of the Golden Immortal realm.

However, just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard thunder. The paper effigy looked up. A layer of black clouds covered the starry sky, and the vast heavenly might suddenly appeared!

A wisp of Dao runes that Li Changshou was extremely familiar with locked onto the paper effigy. Does the Golden Immortal realm incarnation need to go through the Heavenly Tribulation? No, that’s not right. This is not a Heavenly Tribulation. This is... The Heavenly Punishment!

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched violently. The paper effigy immediately bowed to the sky and said, “I am willing to accept your punishment!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening rumbling above his head. The black cloud, which was only hundreds of kilometers in diameter, emitted a pressure that made even Golden Immortals tremble in fear! Li Changshou could only smile bitterly.

He had worked hard for so long, but it was all in vain. The Heavenly Dao did not allow paper effigies to have the combat power of the Golden Immortal realm.

Why?

The incarnations of other big shots might have the combat power of Golden Immortals and Zenith Heaven. Although he had used many tricks, he did not allow the paper effigies to have their own thoughts... Could that be the problem?

At the current stage, he really did not have any plans to produce Golden Immortal paper effigies in batches. Moreover, he could not afford to use the amount of precious materials that he had consumed. At most, he would just assemble the materials that he had prepared and the twelve “core” pills that he had successfully refined.

Forget it.

“Thank you, Heavenly Dao, for taking the time to strike!”

The paper effigy could only give up...

Crack!

The black clouds in the sky trembled, and a bolt of purple-red lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down! The paper effigy closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate. Li Changshou quickly turned his attention back to his main body and was about to escape underground...

A wisp of heavenly might silently descended and suddenly locked onto Li Changshou’s main body!

The moment the purple-red divine lightning was about to hit the paper effigy, it strangely turned around and streaked across the paper effigy’s head!

After the divine lightning flew thousands of feet away, it walked out of the sky and entered the ground!

A deep hole that was hundreds of feet in diameter appeared on the ground. The soil and rocks inside disappeared... At the bottom of the deep hole, Li Changshou only had time to activate more than ten layers of immortal power barriers before he was engulfed by the lightning! W-What the hell!

Would the Heavenly Punishment take shortcuts too? Who can withstand that!?!

Under the ground, Li Changshou spat out a mouthful of blood. However, immortal light shone all over his body. He was not seriously injured by that attack. He understood the logic.

However... why did it strike his main body?

Li Changshou had heard that there was a Heaven-defying Spirit Pill during alchemy. The Heavenly Dao had sent down Heavenly Punishment to destroy that pill. When refining a Heaven-defying numinous treasure, the Heavenly Dao would send down a Heavenly Punishment to destroy it.

My paper effigy is completely considered a Dharma artifact, right? Furthermore, it definitely does not have any intelligence. It is completely a special Dharma treasure of mine! The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment had clearly struck the paper effigy! The ‘Zhi’ Divine Lightning is too much!

At that moment, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky. Immortal power surged in Li Changshou’s body. He raised his left hand high and released wisps of immortal power from his palm. They turned into the Taiji Painting of Water and Fire and slowly rotated to resist the divine lightning!

However, halfway through the power of the lightning, the Taiji Painting in Li Changshou’s palm exploded. He was hit hard. The Daoist robe on his back was torn apart, leaving a charred scar...

Is this reasonable!?! Li Changshou did not dare to scold it out loud. He could only complain in his heart. He quickly jumped out of the pit and put away the paper effigy. Then, he ran towards a dense forest.

In the sky, the rolling black clouds quickly condensed into a small gray cloud and stopped steadily above Li Changshou. From time to time, a purple-red bolt of lightning would descend.

In the face of the Heavenly Tribulation, Li Changshou could not hide. He could only continuously resist it. Fortunately, it was no longer the same as when he had just undergone the Tribulation Transcendence. Even if he were to encounter twelve Heavenly Punishments, Li Changshou would not be too seriously injured.

At that moment, he missed Fairy Yun Xiao’s... Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice!

Gradually, the rhythm of the Heavenly Punishment was relaxed and comfortable. It was as if an old man was sitting on the gray cloud and brewing a pot of fine Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea. He took a sip of the dawn of immortality tea and tasted it carefully. At the same time, he whipped the Heavenly Punishment Whip.

Below the gray cloud, the figure was hiding everywhere. His Daoist robe was tattered, and he was covering his head and running like a rat. He looked handsome and suave when he ran.

However, Li Changshou quickly realized that he had helped his paper effigy endure the Heavenly Tribulation. It was also to protect his efforts.

The Heavenly Dao had acknowledged his Golden Immortal realm paper effigy! Immediately, when Li Changshou spat out blood at the treasure pouch, he revealed a brilliant smile...
