Chapter 221: Begging for silence and transforming into a thunder tribulation!
Chapter 221: Begging for silence and transforming into a thunder tribulation!
Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian took a step back at the same time, took out their magic weapons, and activated their body-protecting true energy.
Be ready to fight at any time.
It’s because the thing speaking in front of me is not a human.
But it's a monster!
A transformed monster!
No... to be precise, it should be a giant demon that is half transformed!
This is a monster that looks half human.
From a distance, he looked like an unusually tall old man.
He was nearly ten feet tall and had a strong build. He was wearing clothes made of leaves and decorated with a few pink peach blossoms.
Looking at the face again, it was covered with wrinkles and bumpy like tree bark.
At this moment, he forced a smile on his face, which made him look even more creepy.
Looking at the old man's head again, it is not hair, but slender vines and branches intertwined, with a huge peach on it.
What’s even more creepy is the old man’s limbs.
The left arm and left leg were clearly made of human flesh and blood, but the right arm and right leg were like thick tree trunks.
This old man who looks like both a human and a tree makes people feel scared.
This is a tree demon!
Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian looked at each other, and a look of horror flashed across their faces at the same time.
The transformed demon is equivalent to a human monk who has attained divine enlightenment!
Although the tree demon at this moment has not yet transformed into a human form, it has already gone through half of the transformation thunder tribulation.
He is at least a great demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or in other words... half a step away from becoming a god!
"What kind of luck is this? I actually encountered a giant demon that was about to transform!"
Lin Chen took a deep breath, but did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, the old tree demon still smiled and repeated the sentence he had just asked:
"Daoyou, do you think I look like a human?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen was confused and was about to answer in the blink of an eye.
But Lin Chen's powerful spiritual sense quickly made him wake up and he quickly kept silent.
Looking at Jiang Liqian again, he was also stunned for a moment, but the piece of green jade tied around her neck was glowing.
Soon she regained consciousness.
Looking at Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan, they did not have the deep skills to resist.
At this moment, they both seemed to have lost their minds and opened their mouths to answer.
"you do not……"
Seeing that the two were about to speak, Jiang Liqian's face changed drastically, and she quickly used a silencing spell to seal the mouths of Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan.
Lin Chen also reacted quickly and used magic to knock the two men out quickly.
At this time, Jiang Liqian was already struggling to speak, but she still spoke word by word:
"Senior, can you wait for a moment?"
The old tree demon was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't refuse. He just nodded and said:
"Okay, a quarter of an hour."
After saying that, he stood aside and watched them quietly.
Jiang Liqian then stood beside Lin Chen and said in a serious tone:
"Brother Lin, something big has happened!"
"This is the transformed demon who wants to be silenced! And judging from his appearance, it is obvious that he has already tried to do so once before, but failed... and ended up like this."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly. He also thought so in his heart.
He didn't know much about Taokoufeng, he had only read rumors about it in ancient books, and this was the first time he had encountered it.
According to legend, after a demon beast reaches the peak of the fourth stage (Nascent Soul), it must go through the thunder tribulation of transformation and cultivate into a human form.
However, monsters value bloodlines and have fewer magical weapons to protect them, so it is much more difficult for them to survive the thunder tribulation than for humans.
There are some big monsters that are about to transform, and they rarely harm human monks.
Then you will be able to obtain a special method bestowed by Heaven—to silence your mouth!
With the help of the monks, help them overcome the thunder tribulation of transformation.
At this time, if the cultivator answers "like a human", the chance of the big monster surviving the thunder tribulation of transformation will greatly increase.
But if the answer is "not like a human", the big monster will lose the opportunity to survive the thunder tribulation of transformation.
Lin Chen only knew that if he answered "not like a human", it would probably arouse the wrath of this big monster.
At that time, facing the wrath of the transformed demon, all four of them will die without a burial place!
This is also the reason why Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian stopped Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan from speaking just now.
If they answer no, all four of them will die miserably!
……
Lin Chen took a deep breath and sent a voice message to Jiang Liqian:
"Junior sister, we have no choice... we can only answer that it is a human!"
Jiang Liqian nodded upon hearing this, but transmitted the message:
"Oh, if only it were as simple as you think... But there are some important things to pay attention to when asking for a seal!"
"We can only answer like a human...but can we bear the consequences of this answer?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What is the cause and effect?"
Jiang Liqian's knowledge was obviously much greater than Lin Chen's. She said:
"The power to seal the mouth is the authority bestowed upon the demon beasts by the Heavenly Dao. It appeared countless times ago."
"But the power of thunder tribulation is also the will of heaven, and it is impossible to avoid it."
“Therefore, the seal of the mouth… is actually the transformed great demon transferring part of its own thunder tribulation to the cultivator who is being sealed of the mouth.”
"This is the way of heaven. Every bite and every drink has its own destiny."
"To put it simply, if you answer that he looks like a human, you will have accepted this cause and effect. Then the power of the transformation lightning tribulation will be transferred to you."
"It has a great impact on the monks' fortunes and even future karma."
After a pause, Jiang Liqian continued:
"Look at this tree demon, it looks like a human but not a human. It's obvious that it has been silenced once."
"But unfortunately, the person he asked to silence might not be able to bear this cause and effect, so the tree demon failed to transform for the first time..."
“Although I don’t know what method he used to survive the transformation thunder tribulation again… but it’s clear that the cause and effect of the second time of being silenced is much higher than the first time!”
After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned and asked:
"Then this tree demon failed... What happened to the first person to be silenced?"
Jiang Liqian answered decisively:
"He must have died! That person couldn't bear the force of cause and effect..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen became even more confused and asked:
"That's not right! It's not the power of the thunder tribulation that is being transferred... Then how could the person who was silenced die on the spot?"
Jiang Liqian thought for a moment and said, "It should be the evaluation of the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao thought that person couldn't bear this cause and effect, so he was directly wiped out! He couldn't even wait for him to pass the thunder tribulation!"
"Moreover, the cause and effect of being silenced is not only experienced during the thunder tribulation, but also has a great impact on the cultivator himself! It is like a person carrying a heavy load forward. The speed of cultivation and future fortune and luck may be affected..."
When Lin Chen heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He is very confident that he can survive the thunder tribulation, so there is no need to worry.
But the speed of cultivation, fortune and luck were affected... This was something Lin Chen could not accept!
Especially the concept of luck, which is illusory but real, and to a large extent determines the future achievements of the cultivator.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked:
"Then... how do we judge whether a person can bear the consequences of being silenced?"
This time, Jiang Liqian didn't think too long and answered quickly:
"There are two main aspects to consider! First, the status and importance of this person! For example, many years ago there was a dynasty composed of monks. It was also called the Immortal Kingdom..."
"The Lord of the Immortal Kingdom holds the lives of hundreds of millions of mortals and cultivators in his hands. He enjoys supreme authority and also bears great cause and effect."
"Therefore, for the Lord of the Immortal Kingdom, the karma of asking for a mouth seal is nothing..."
"Of course, this is also because the strength of the Lord of the Immortal Kingdom is strong enough!"
“But if they are members of the royal family of the Immortal Kingdom, even if their cultivation is not high, their status and luck are extremely strong. The fate of the royal family members and the hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom are tied together, and they can also bear this cause and effect…”
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and asked again: "Then...what is the second one?"
"The second one depends on the talent of the monk who is being banned!" Jiang Liqian explained it as clearly as possible.
"As long as the cultivator's talent is strong enough, he will not be afraid of karma, because the heavens will judge that he can successfully survive the thunder tribulation... but he will also suffer some backlash."
Jiang Liqian finished her explanation, and Lin Chen seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, Jiang Liqian was in a dilemma.
She looked at Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan who were unconscious behind her.
He glanced at Lin Chen beside him again... for a long time, as if he had made an important decision, his eyes were full of determination.
Jiang Liqian knew that even if she answered "like a human", the tree demon would be silenced.
But if one cannot bear the cause and effect, and the transformation thunder tribulation fails...
The only fate for everyone is still death!
Although Jiang Liqian was optimistic about Lin Chen's potential, she did not think that Lin Chen could bear this great cause and effect...
Because even if she wanted to promise this silence, she would have to bear great consequences.
At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed.
The old tree demon approached again and asked with a smile:
"Daoyou, do you think I look like a human?"
The tree demon was smiling but had a dagger hidden in his heart. Lin Chen had no doubt that as long as the answer did not meet his wishes, the four would die miserably on the spot!
Jiang Liqian took a deep breath and said:
"I see you..."
Just when Jiang Liqian was halfway through her speech, Lin Chen pulled her back.
Lin Chen smiled and said:
"How can you be similar? You are clearly a human!"
Lin Chen answered so quickly that Jiang Liqian didn't even have time to react.
When she realized what was happening, she looked at Lin Chen in shock.
She had clearly explained the pros and cons of asking for silence...but Lin Chen still answered without hesitation.
Moreover, Lin Chen had a smile in his eyes at this moment, and he clearly looked very relaxed.
"Senior Brother Lin..." Jiang Liqian muttered to herself in her heart, and suddenly she felt deeply moved.
She knew that Lin Chen's answer was worth millions of favors.
But then, Jiang Liqian looked at Lin Chen with worry again, and silently held a jade seal in her arms.
"Hahaha~hahaha~"
In front of him, the old tree demon suddenly laughed out loud after hearing Lin Chen's answer.
I was so excited that I almost cried.
"Finally, this old man is finally going to transform!"
Lin Chen still stood there, looking at the tree demon calmly.
At the same time, I was also a little curious...
What exactly does this transformation thunder tribulation look like?
Suddenly……
A huge gap appeared in the sky, as if the sky had cracked open.
Lin Chen took a look and he knew that what was cracked was not the real sky, but the sky of this secret realm!
The way of heaven is greater than the heaven of ruins!
The power of heaven descends forcefully...
The Tribulation is about to begin...
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky.
Boom boom boom!
There seemed to be thunder and lightning rolling in the calamity clouds.
The old tree demon laughed loudly, jumped up, and flew towards the thunder tribulation in the sky...
"One, two, three... nine"
Lin Chen stood in the peach forest, looked up at the sky, and counted the number of thunder tribulations.
"forty nine……"
It was not until Lin Chen counted to the forty-ninth time that the thunder tribulation in the sky finally gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the light from the sky fell to the ground, covering the entire ruins.
The ruins of the Dragon Spirit Sect, within a radius of ten thousand miles...all the cultivators looked towards the sky.
"From today on, a transformed monster will appear in Qingzhou!"
Jiang Liqian thought silently in her heart.
But she quickly looked at Lin Chen again, her eyes full of worry.
"Lin...Brother Lin, how do you feel?"
Jiang Liqian was afraid that Lin Chen would suddenly die...
Lin Chen blinked and said:
"I don't seem to feel anything..."
After hearing this, Jiang Liqian was stunned.
No feeling? How...how is this possible?
This is the cause and effect of the thunder tribulation of the transformed great demon!
And it is one of the forty-nine thunder tribulations!
Based on the potential of that tree demon, it should be impossible for it to survive!
Only because most of the causal force of the thunder tribulation was borne by Lin Chen...the tree monster was able to survive it successfully.
Such a horrific cause and effect, not to mention Lin Chen, even she would have to pay a huge price.
Jiang Liqian carefully looked at Lin Chen and saw that his face was ruddy and his breathing was steady, as if he was really not affected at all...
“Could it be that… the power of karma was transferred to Senior Brother Lin’s thunder tribulation?”
Jiang Liqian guessed.
"Brother Lin comes from a humble background, so naturally he has no status or authority, and his strength is far inferior to that of a Divine Transformation cultivator..."
"In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, Senior Brother Lin has great potential in the future! Heaven recognizes... and believes that he can bear this cause and effect..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Liqian's eyes showed a hint of sadness again.
The power of the thunder tribulation is too great, and it is also a huge danger to cultivators...
"No matter what, Senior Brother Lin endured this hardship for me... I must repay this favor in the future!"
Jiang Liqian thought so in her heart.
"Hahaha~hahaha~"
When all the thunder and lightning had retreated, a hearty laugh was heard from the sky.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of Lin Chen.
It’s the old tree demon!
But compared to his previous half-man, half-tree appearance, the old man's appearance has changed greatly.
The old man's height dropped from three meters to one meter six.
The limbs and body were completely transformed into a human form of flesh and blood, and the bark-like skin on the face also faded and turned into wrinkles.
He was wearing a peach blossom jacket and looked like an old man on the street.
At this moment, he came over with a look of surprise, looked at Lin Chen and said:
"Strange, really strange!"
"I originally wanted to ask that girl for a seal of honor. She possesses a mysterious destiny and should be able to help me overcome the calamity... I didn't expect you to get there first."
"Besides, judging from your appearance... you haven't been affected that much!"
The old tree demon circled around Lin Chen a few times and couldn't help but sigh.
"You kid, you can't see through it... I can't see through it! What is your origin?"
After walking around for a while, he cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, I, Taoyao Zhenjun, have never owed favors to anyone in my life."
"Today you helped me to silence my mouth and survive the transformation thunder tribulation... I will agree to your three requests. As long as they are within my ability, just ask for them!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked and felt slightly happy.
"There is such a good thing, this is a favor from Master Huashen!"
"Did I misunderstand this old man... Is he really a good person?"
At this time, Jiang Liqian explained through voice transmission:
"He is repaying his karma. He asked you to shut his mouth. He owes you karma... He must repay it, otherwise there will be no further progress in his cultivation in the future!"
"However, the favor of this transformed demon is real. You should use it well. It can be regarded as some compensation for the karma you have borne..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded silently. It was very rare to receive a favor from Master Huashen.
In front of him, Taoyao Zhenjun urged with a smile:
"Youngster, while I'm in a good mood... hurry up and make your request."
Lin Chen knew that Tao Yao wanted to get rid of the cause and effect as soon as possible.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"it is good!"
"My first request is that you kill the Blood-eyed Demon and destroy the Netherworld!"
