I really became a king.

Chapter 259 The legendary tribulation?

However, Jiang Yi used the auspicious cloud that was born together with the Xumi Palace as a condition to reach some kind of deal with the white fleshworm.

As for what kind of transaction it was, it was really the scene where the four-winged silkworm pupa killed Sheng Xin.

Jiang Yi has always been resentful towards Sheng Xin, and the other party is the secret disciple of the holy land Piaomiao Pavilion. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will be able to kill the other party.

Mo Li is Jiang Yi's Achilles' heel. The other party actually wants to take advantage of his wife. Jiang Yi doesn't want to wait any longer.

Originally, he wanted to kill the other party with his own hands, but now he has the white flesh worm as a free killer, so he might as well use it. After all, he is not that pretentious and just wants to get the result he wants.

It was just a bit of a pity. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to let the white flesh worm eliminate the Yinshan Mountain Master and others, especially Ye Dingtian from the Bailing Ye family. However, the white flesh worm must have some concerns and did not agree. He only agreed to help kill Sheng Xin.

Jiang Yi silently watched the scene where Sheng Xin was killed by the four-winged silkworm pupa transformed by magic in mid-air. He felt a lot more relieved and a hidden danger for the future was eliminated.

After hearing the reason why Jiang Yi insisted on killing Sheng Xin, Venerable Baigui also sighed inwardly while looking at the scene, thinking that the death of the secret disciple of the holy land was indeed a bit pathetic.

As for the white fleshworm, after killing Sheng Xin, its pair of dark, eyeless eyes stared at Jiang Yi motionlessly, or to be exact, at the auspicious cloud in Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi just lowered his head and looked at the auspicious cloud in his palm. It felt soft and fluffy like a ball of cotton. He could feel the mysterious power hidden in this auspicious cloud, because the blood power in his body was surging.

Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, the Venerable Hundred Ghosts made preparations secretly. If Jiang Yi changed his mind in the end, he might have to use forbidden techniques.

As for this dishonest behavior, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jiang Yi also thought about taking this auspicious cloud for himself, but he didn't do it in the end. On the one hand, it was because of his credibility, and on the other hand, he was worried that the white fleshworm would be pushed into a corner and then use some big tricks.

After all, the other party is the overlord of this black water swamp, and he might have some hidden tricks in his hand. Of course, he doesn't want to let the Venerable Hundred Ghosts die here.

With a sigh, Jiang Yi casually threw the auspicious clouds at the white fleshworm.

The white fleshworm looked at the auspicious cloud flying towards it, leaped for joy like a baby, opened its big mouth, and swallowed the auspicious cloud.

Immediately afterwards, a magical scene happened. The originally huge body of the white flesh worm suddenly shrank rapidly. During this process, wind and clouds surged, and the terrifying power of heaven and earth enveloped the area.

Perhaps it was afraid that the sudden power of heaven and earth would hit Jiang Yi and the others, so the white flesh worm retreated rapidly while spitting out white silk from its mouth, drawing the surging power of heaven and earth to its surroundings.

"I'm afraid he is going through a tribulation." The Venerable Hundred Ghosts said with a serious expression.

Overcoming the tribulation? These two words are both familiar and unfamiliar to Jiang Yi. In this high-level martial arts world, whether it is a warrior or a hermit cultivator, there is no such thing as overcoming the tribulation.

Jiang Yi once thought that the story of transcending tribulations in the immortal cultivation novels of his previous life was nonsense, but now he saw this scene on the white flesh worm.

"Why don't we warriors and hermit monks have the concept of transcending tribulation?" Jiang Yi asked the question in his mind.

The Venerable Hundred Ghosts looked at the white fleshworms under the calamity cloud with some envy, and whispered back: "It may be that we haven't reached that level..." There was an inexplicable bitterness in his words.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but remain silent, and a feeling of bitterness rose in his heart.

Compared to the white flesh worm in front of them, humans are indeed too weak. Even the top eighth level of martial arts is no match for it.

“But according to legend, calamity clouds will descend when you break through the ninth realm,” Venerable Hundred Ghosts suddenly said.

Jiang Yi's heart was moved. Does that mean that the ninth realm is the beginning of transcendence? He couldn't help but feel a little yearning in his heart, and secretly told himself that he must break through to the ninth realm of martial arts. Climbing high and looking far, he must personally experience the feeling of standing on a high place and looking down on all the mountains.

"Is this... a tribulation?"

At the moment when the white fleshworm swallowed the auspicious cloud, the Yinshan Mountain Lord and his party, who had just walked out of the Black Water Swamp, also felt the power of heaven and earth deep in the swamp, and could even faintly see the rolling calamity clouds.

"I didn't expect that there really is such a thing as transcending tribulation, but who is transcending tribulation?" Ye Dingtian asked.

"It should be the white flesh worm." said the Lord of Yinshan Mountain.

"So the white flesh worm got the Xumi Palace?" Ye Dingtian's face lit up with joy. In his opinion, what the white flesh worm got was much better than what the Wind and Thunder Sword Lord and the Hundred Ghosts Venerable got.

He even vaguely thought of a possibility: since the white flesh worms had already snatched away the Xumi Palace, perhaps the two of them had died at the hands of the other.

"No matter who is undergoing the tribulation, it is none of our business. Let's act according to the established plan." The Lord of Yinshan Mountain said, and then fled into the distance with a few people.

The rest of the people also dispersed in groups of three or five, including Ye Dingtian, with excitement on their faces.

I can finally go out and look for my own opportunity alone. I have finally come to the Yinshan Secret Realm, a place of great fortune, so how can I return empty-handed?

"There are only three days left, I hope there will be some results." Ye Dingtian said to himself. Of course, he did not forget the other main purpose of this trip, which was to find and kill Jiang Yi.

There are also Wind Thunder Sword Master and Hundred Ghosts Lord, provided they didn't die at the hands of the white flesh worms.

"What a terrifying calamity cloud!"

Looking at the white fleshworms under the thunderclouds, Jiang Yi sighed.

This thundercloud is much more powerful than the falling lightning in his Shanshui Martial Realm. They are not on the same level at all.

"So, in terms of cultivation, we humans are not as good as those strange beasts like white flesh worms?" Jiang Yi thought of something and said with a heavy heart.

"Now it seems that it is true, at least that is the case in this Yinshan Secret Realm." Venerable Baigui coughed weakly, his expression a little gloomy.

"What exactly is this Yinshan Secret Realm? Is it really just a secret realm?" Jiang Yi said again.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple. This Yinshan Secret Realm should be a larger world that is more advanced than our Wild Continent, and its cultivation system is far superior to ours.” said the Venerable Hundred Ghosts.

Jiang Yi thought of the red dots on the map and secretly decided to find a way to see what was there.

The calamity clouds came suddenly and went away quickly, and soon dissipated.

Without the calamity clouds covering them, Jiang Yi and the others could clearly see the area that was previously unclear, but now it was empty, without any trace of the white fleshworms.

Failed to survive the tribulation?
Jiang Yi and Venerable Bai Gui looked at each other. If this was true, the calamity cloud would be too terrifying.

At this moment, a grape-sized black shadow trembled and flew up from the ground in the calamity cloud area. Seeing this familiar black shadow, Jiang Yi and the Hundred Ghosts Venerable felt relieved for some reason.

It did not die under the calamity cloud.
