Dugu Ce sat back on the chair, grabbed the wooden bead string, and pulled. He scattered the sixteen Water-sinking Wood Beads evenly around him. Each wooden bead emitted an invisible force field. The sixteen force fields combined to form a spherical shield that enveloped him and isolated him from the outside world.
At this moment, cries of alarm and shouts could be heard from outside the main cabin. Messy footsteps could be heard rushing towards the main cabin. It was obvious that the members of the Kun Peng Sect had reacted after hearing the unusual movement.
Yun Yuzhen was the first to enter the main cabin. She hurriedly asked,""Brother Ce, what happened? Why did Kuo Zhong…"
Dugu Ce didn't wait for her to finish and said in a deep voice,""Yu Zhen, go out first and stop anyone from approaching this place!”
As he spoke, a black gas that could be seen with the naked eye shrouded Dugu Ce's face, blurring his features.
Yun Yuzhen's heart trembled when she saw this, and she said in a trembling voice,""Brother Ce, you…what's wrong?”
"Now is not the time to talk. Yu Zhen, go out first.”At this moment, Dugu Ce's voice had become extremely hoarse.
When Yun Yuzhen saw this, no matter how worried she was, she could only retreat in fear.
After leaving the cabin, she arranged for the men of the Giant Kun Gang to guard the four sides of the main cabin. She also sat in front of the door, looking back at the main cabin from time to time, her beautiful face full of unconcealable worry.
In the main cabin, Dugu Ce's entire body was shrouded in a mysterious black gas.
This black gas was the fate energy that had been added to Xu Zhiling. After Xu Zhiling died, there was nowhere to go and he was unwilling to dissipate. It turned into a tribulation and wanted to kill Xu Zhiling's enemy.
If Xu Zhiling was killed by an ordinary martial artist, then this tribulation would not be able to do anything to the other party at all. Only Qi Practitioners would be affected by this tribulation.
Qi Refinement for immortality was a heaven-defying move.
However, Qi Practitioners had to obey the heavens.
Dugu Ce's cultivation was to grasp the delicate balance between obeying the heavens and defying the heavens, and seize the opportunity to live forever.
This was called "Jie" and was the true inheritance of the ancient Jie School.
Dugu Ce, as a Qi Practitioner, interfered with the heavenly fate, especially when he killed the person who was blessed by the heavens and changed the trajectory of the heavens. It was normal for him to be punished by the heavens.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiling had just entered the martial arts world. His Wind and Cloud Appearance was only the "Wind and Cloud Beginning Move". It had not reached the point where the wind and clouds were raging and covering the sky. Dugu Ce could still bear the backlash of killing him.
Dugu Ce sat on the chair with his eyes slightly closed. He allowed the black gas that enveloped his entire body to drill into his pores. The black gas spread through his flesh and blood, causing his muscles and tendons to feel a sharp pain as if they were being torn apart. It also made the Genuine Qi in his entire body boil and move randomly, stirring up his meridians and dantian into a mess.
This was a sign of an extremely serious Qi deviation!
However, Dugu Ce did not dodge or resist. He only guarded his spiritual altar and kept his Heart Lamp burning. All the pain seemed to have happened to someone else, and it could not disturb his heart at all.
As long as a Qi Refiner could achieve some success, his mental strength and spirit would be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was the same for evil cultivators and fiends.
The pain of the physical body was like a floating cloud in the sky to a Qi Refiner. What did it have to do with him?
After an unknown amount of time, the black gas couldn't do anything to Dugu Ce and finally dissipated.
Dugu Ce opened his eyes and checked his body. He found that other than the pain, he didn't suffer any more injuries.
The rampaging True Qi had all returned to the right track. There was also a cool and refreshing current that was inexplicably born, repairing his damaged muscles, meridians, and dantian.
When the pain completely disappeared, Dugu Ce realized that his cultivation, including the strength of his body, had increased a lot.
He smiled and did not mind.
This was the tribulation.
If he couldn't cross it, he would die.
Once it was passed, one's cultivation would advance and one's Dao would increase. The cool air flow that healed his wounds was the natural spiritual energy dew that came from heaven and earth after he successfully passed the tribulation.
No matter how serious the injuries were during the tribulation, the Spiritual Energy Dew could instantly heal them and strengthen the body and cultivation of the person undergoing the tribulation.
Dugu Ce had already survived the backlash of fate energy, so it was reasonable for his cultivation to improve a little.
This was because the tribulation was not strong enough, so his cultivation did not advance much.
If it was the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation, then the dew that fell from the sky after passing it could become a heavy downpour. If he collected them, he could gather a lake of water. Absorbing all of it would immediately allow one to be reborn and attain the Immortal Fetus Dao Body, allowing one to live forever.
Of course, Dugu Ce had only heard of the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation in legends and had never seen it in person.
After all, when he was struck by the heavenly lightning in his previous life, his cultivation had only just advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining into Spirit.
He stood up and stretched his back. Then, he waved his hand, and the sixteen Water-sinking Wood Beads that were set up as a defensive formation on the ground jumped up one after another and fell into his hand.
He didn't use any ropes to connect them, but the 16 wooden beads naturally connected into a ring, as if there was an invisible thread stringing them together.
Dugu Ce put the wooden bead into his pocket. Just as he was about to leave the cabin, a streak of black gas suddenly appeared between his eyebrows and entered his spiritual altar.
Dugu Ce's heart trembled. No…"
He closed his eyes and carefully pondered. Then, he calculated with his fingers for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and smiled bitterly."So that's how it is…You actually want me to make a trip to Shuanglong Road…"
In the original world, the Yangzhou Twin Dragons had grown into the Central Plains Twin Dragons, wreaking havoc all over the world and doing countless earth-shattering things. They had a great impact on the overall situation of the world.
It could be said that many things would have ended differently without the Yangzhou Twin Dragons.
However, after losing Xu Zhiling, Kuo Zhong, the python that could have transformed into a dragon, no longer had the chance to ride the wind and the clouds and soar to the nine heavens. Then, what would happen to the many major events that were ultimately decided by the two of them?
"Divine abilities can't defeat the heavens, and the heavens can't be easily defied…If you want to defy the heavens, there must be a price to pay.”
Dugu Ce rubbed his chin and pondered deeply."I know this logic. However, the greatest destiny in this world was not Kuo Zhong or Xu Zhiling, but Li Shimin. Without Kou Xu stirring up the storm, many major events would change, but how much would it affect Li Shiming? Why must I go to Shuanglong Road?”
After killing Xu Zhiling, the fate energy backlash he suffered had not completely ended. The tribulation had left Dugu Ce with a small tail. He had to take the same path as Kou Xu and do something that should have been done by Kou Xu.
Only then would the tribulation completely dissipate.
Dugu Ce didn't dare to be careless. He silently calculated,""If I don't leave…then I'll be responsible for the reversal of events due to the absence of Kou Xu. If this continues to accumulate…once the tribulation erupts, there's really a possibility that I'll die!”
He continued to calculate,'If I take a trip to the Double Dragons Road and complete those tasks on behalf of the two dragons…hiss, I can actually accumulate great merit?”
Dugu Ce was overjoyed.
Merit was extremely useful. Its most precious use was to offset tribulations. Even the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation could be passed safely if one had enough merit to protect themselves.
Under normal circumstances, the merit could also protect the Qi Practitioners from the invasion of the inner demons and outer demons, reducing the possibility of Qi deviation.
Dugu Ce was a heretic practitioner who practiced evil techniques. No matter how good he did, he couldn't accumulate any merit. At most, he would have no merits or faults. This had always been Dugu Ce's biggest worry.
As an evil cultivator, how could he pass the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation in the future without merit? Should he use his life to carry it?
Now that he had the chance to obtain a large amount of merit, how could Dugu Ce not be happy?
"Not only can I accumulate merit points, but I can also woo the beauties that Kou Xu and the other two originally met along the way, push them, pick them…Accumulating merit points and increasing my cultivation won't hinder each other, so why not?”
Thinking of this, Dugu Ce finally laughed out loud. He made up his mind to take the Double Dragons Road!
"Take the path of others and make others have no way out! Picking other people's flowers, leaving others with no flowers to pick!”
Dugu Ce's eyes were shining brightly, and the corner of his mouth hung an unfathomable smile.
