A life of clearness

Chapter 156 Beacon
"So, the limit of Qing He's Mustard Seed Domain is sixty miles?"

"Not bad." Chongji nodded.

When Qing He fell into the Ruins of Dreams, the mustard seed domain he released had a radius of ten miles. At this moment, in order to cooperate with his strongest secret technique, he had already expanded his mustard seed domain to the limit of sixty miles.

"The limit of the mustard seed domain is a personal limit. Generally speaking, from the first to the third revolution, the radius of the mustard seed domain ranges from one mile to a hundred miles, and from the fourth to the sixth revolution, the radius ranges from a hundred miles to ten thousand miles. From the seventh to the ninth revolution, the units of the radius are ten thousand miles, ten million miles, and one hundred million miles respectively."

"In fact, once you reach the ninth level, you can no longer simply judge by the size of the mustard seed domain."

"Why is that?" Rong Qing asked in confusion. Although the Nine Transformations were still far away from her, it was always a good idea to learn something in advance. Especially since the sword masters were probably very skilled, if she could get their guidance, Rong Qing would have a better understanding of the path and reduce the possibility of going astray.

"Because after the Nine Revolutions, there will be no more tests in the Heavenly Dao. Unless they break through to the Void." Chongji had a faint smile in his eyes, "The difference between the Nine Revolutions is extremely huge."

"You can think of each transformation of the spirit as a dragon gate. There is a huge gap between the third and fourth transformations, and between the sixth and seventh transformations. Just like Qing He, he could not reach the fourth transformation, so he chose to become a three-transformation spirit. The gap between each transformation may be big or small, but there is a standard for measurement. Only the ninth transformation is the highest dragon gate. Some people barely reach it, while others jump over it even higher than this dragon gate."

"The gap between them is so huge. Moreover, even if a cultivator barely reaches the ninth level, his talent and understanding are far beyond that of other cultivators. It doesn't mean that he will stop improving after reaching the ninth level. He may have the opportunity to make further progress on the path of Tao."

“So, don’t underestimate any ninth-turn cultivator. Of course…” Chongji looked at Rong Qing, “I hope you can follow the path of the ninth-turn to the end and become a ninth-turn cultivator, so that no one can underestimate you.”

"Yes." Rong Qing just said these two words.

There is no need for any solemn promises. When she makes up her mind, she will not be bound by the oaths, so there is no need for any grandiose assurances.

The solidified sea water shattered into pieces just ten feet above Rong Qing's head, and the broken sea water roared as if the end of the world had come.

However, in Rong Qing's eyes, the three-transformation god standing high in the sky was both powerful and... weak.

No matter how powerful he is, it is just a last-ditch struggle, just like a moth flying into a flame, and he will meet his destined end.

"Why would he stop on the path to becoming stronger?" Rong Qing asked, "Since he chose the path of the Nine Transformations of the Spirit in the beginning, it means he agrees with this path. With this path, his combat power will become extremely strong."

"Because there are two main reasons. First, resources. In order to survive the first level of thunder tribulation, it is difficult to gather enough spirit stones. In a realm like this, it is good enough to support a few ordinary gods. It cannot support cultivators who take the path of the ninth level of the gods. However, although the resources in the spirit world are much richer, it cannot support every cultivator to take this path. Therefore, there is still a screening mechanism. Those who are not savvy enough will be screened out."

"Second, life span. Even if someone has a strong background and no worries about resource supply, if he cannot achieve a breakthrough in his comprehension, he will not be able to meet the requirements when the next thunder tribulation comes. In this case, he can only catalyze the transformation of the Nascent Soul into the Primordial Spirit to avoid death in the thunder tribulation. Giving up the path of the ninth transformation of the Spirit and avoiding death tomorrow, at least in exchange for more life span to strive to become Zhixu. Of course, this possibility is very small, but there are precedents of success."

"Everyone will die. Resources can be managed, but lifespan is the most powerless thing." Chongji sighed rarely, and Rong Qing didn't understand why he suddenly sighed like that.

"You don't have much time left." Chongji looked at Rong Qing's face. She didn't look like a young girl, but a woman in her late thirties. "You have been lazy for more than eight hundred years. You don't have much time left."

It is easy to become a god, but it is still difficult to achieve the first transformation.

"It's fine as long as it's enough." Rong Qing chuckled and didn't feel embarrassed.

"Besides, how should I know what the standard of the Heavenly Test is?" What if I can't reach it? I won't know until I start to overcome the tribulation. That would be speechless.

"Just find a first-level monk and fight him. If you think winning is easy, then you can be sure that you will have no problems in overcoming the tribulation."

This is why Chongyu arranged for Rongqing and Yurou to fight first.

Feel the difference yourself.

Yu Rou has the strength comparable to that of a first-level master.

If Rong Qing wants to survive the first level of thunder tribulation, he must reach the first level of strength with a body that is half a step away from becoming a god.

“What if my level in a certain aspect far exceeds the first level?” “Don’t dream.” Chongji warned carefully, “Even if your physical body has reached the ninth level, if your perception has not reached the first level, you will still fall under the thunder tribulation. There is no exception.”

Rong Qing nodded to show that she understood.

……

High in the sky, Qing He's face looked pale, and the black ocean that originally stretched for sixty miles disappeared.

His strongest technique was completely defeated.

The magic weapon that he had nurtured for thousands of years was completely shattered by that blow, and even his soul was seriously injured.

However, such a devastating blow was firmly controlled in this world of falling snow without any murderous intent, and not a single bit of its power dissipated to harm the outside world.

"Oh, you really value this world."

Why didn't Qing get angry but laughed instead?

This smile was full of despair and mockery. His face was extremely ferocious.

At the same time, his aura seemed vague, as if he was here and yet not here.

"It seems he wants to escape." Rong Qing was not in a hurry.

Because the sword masters are not in a hurry.

"This aura appeared because his Dao Marker had been activated and was connected to the Xuanfeng Realm." Chongji said. "He used the violent shock of the last blow to conceal the spatial vibration when the Dao Marker was activated."

"But it's useless." Rong Qing replied. With the naked eye, countless black lines appeared where Qing He was, cutting his body into pieces.

These black lines appeared because that piece of space was breaking. These black lines naturally appeared in the gaps between countless space fragments.

Qing He was born in the spiritual world and was a spiritual cultivator himself. His knowledge made him understand this point, and also made him... even more desperate.

"It's a game." This was the last thought in his mind. From then on, his mind was cut off and he fell forever.

When the beacon was opened, it was forcibly interrupted and the connection was erased. With such spatial attainments, of course, he could pull the three people of Qingzhong's lineage from the turbulence to this place.

The butterfly falls into the spider's web from the beginning. All the struggles are the struggles before death.

……

Qing He died miserably, but Rong Qing was staring at a long streak of light in the shattered corpse.

The space was shattered even though the body of the Three Transformation God could not withstand it, but the light did not seem to be damaged at all.

"That is……?"

"A signpost." Chongyu replied.
