The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 91: The Fourth Turn of the Star-Picking Hand
"With fellow Taoist?"

Leizhan was stunned for a moment, then readily accepted, "Okay!"

I came to the heavens to explore those dangerous places, to search for opportunities, and ultimately to accumulate the foundation for my own body and second soul to overcome the heavenly tribulation in the future.

"As far as I know, the Heaven Realm is the largest fragment of the ancient world, and it contains many dangerous and desolate places. Where would you like to venture, Fellow Daoist Wangshu?"

According to the information obtained by Leizhan, the entire heaven is vast, and there are at least thousands of dangerous places, big and small.

Some are battlefields left over from the ancient wars of destruction, some are opportunities for testing left by the true gods and ancestors, and some are formed naturally after the birth of the Three Realms.

There are some even more dangerous places that have existed since ancient times. After the destruction of the Pangu world, some of them were moved here by powerful people using great means.

After all, the heavenly realm is extremely large, and not only Buddhism, Taoism and the Heavenly Court are entrenched here, but there are also many other powerful forces.

As the number of forces increases, the number of immortal cultivators naturally increases. If the immortal cultivators of the forces under their command want to grow, they will inevitably have to go to some places to hone their skills.

The existence of these remote and dangerous places is also of great help to the growth of the disciples under his command.

Among these hundreds of dangerous places, there are naturally some of the most famous ones, such as Youdu Mountain, Guixu Marsh, Blood Demon Abyss, etc.

Youdu Mountain alone is recognized as the most dangerous place in this heavenly realm. It is a dangerous place that was created before the ancient Pangu world was destroyed.

It is said that a true god died there in ancient times. Even in the current Three Realms era, there are gods and immortals who have entered and never come out again.

"In places like those ranked among the most dangerous in Youdu Mountain, even after countless years, even those at the level of a Heavenly God or True Immortal might not be able to come out unscathed. You and I are only at the level of Heavenly Immortals, so we are naturally not suited to such dangerous places."

Although the most important thing about adventure is to hone oneself, one must also act within one's capabilities. If one rashly goes to extremely dangerous and terrifying places, desolate places, or even places where even gods and immortals may not appear, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Although Fairy Wangshu and Leizhan wanted to find a place to hone their skills, they naturally would not choose places where there was no chance of survival.

Fairy Wangshu looked at Leizhan and said, "I'm going to Xuanyou Valley!"

"Xuanyou Valley?" Leizhan was stunned. "It's also extremely dangerous there. In some places, even time and space are disordered!"

Xuanyou Valley, although not as good as Youdu Mountain, Guixu Marsh and other places, is also an extremely dangerous place! It is also a very famous dangerous place in the heaven.

Because a long time ago, there were gods and immortals who went to explore there and even died there. Most importantly, it was once a battlefield of the ancient destructive war!
"Yes." Fairy Wangshu smiled slightly. "This Xuanyou Valley is the site of a great battle from ancient times. There are many treasures within. It's even very likely that there are innate spiritual treasures! This is why a celestial god and immortal went in to explore it countless years ago."

"Huh? Innate spiritual treasure?" Lei Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

"Besides, we are just exploring the outskirts of Xuanyou Valley. As long as we don't accidentally enter the place where time and space are disordered inside, we will generally be safe." Fairy Wangshu said.

"If we only stay on the periphery, we can protect ourselves with our cultivation."

……

Heaven, Tianshui City.

"All the treasures containing the essence of the five elements have been bought."

"Wangshu? He's become a celestial being now."

Two men walked out of Penglai Pavilion side by side. One wore a golden robe, the other a black one. Their skin was fair, with black patterns on their faces. Both men exuded a powerful and mighty aura. They were both celestial beings.

"Brother, what should we do? You are already lacking a large number of treasures containing the essence of the Five Elements in order to refine that set of Pure Yang magic weapons. Moreover, we have cleared out all the treasures in the surrounding cities. If you want to buy more, you can only go to cities farther away." The fair-skinned man in a black robe had a gloomy expression on his face.

"What should we do?" A hint of evil flashed across the golden-robed man's fair face with black patterns. "Of course, we have to do it standing still! That Yinglong Celestial God and Master are not on good terms. This is well known to all fellow disciples. Even though you are Master's registered disciple, have you forgotten that?"

"This...that Yinglong is just a celestial god. How can he have the confidence to go against Master?" The man in black robe was puzzled.

You must know that he is only a celestial being, and is only worthy of being the master's registered disciple. Although the celestial god Yinglong was extremely famous in ancient times, how could he dare to go against a Taoist ancestor?

But not all gods and immortals are Hou Yi! And in the entire Three Realms, after billions of years, there is only one Hou Yi!
"Ok?"

The golden-robed man glanced at his fellow apprentice and frowned secretly, "When we get back, ask those who joined earlier!"

"Yes." The black-robed man was startled and muttered secretly, "It seems that I said the wrong thing again! But you refused to say it outside, let alone inside the sect, under the master's nose... Oh!"

The man in the golden robe looked into the distance, as if he could see the woman who had left early.

"Since this Fairy Wangshu has already bought it for us, it has saved me a lot of treasures. Descendants of Yinglong... Humph! Let's go!"

As he spoke, the man in the golden robe turned his head to look at the man in the black robe beside him, identified the direction, and flew over directly with his magic weapon.

……

On the Five Thunders Cosmic Light ship, Lei Zhan and Fairy Wangshu were sitting opposite each other, flying towards the famous and dangerous Xuanyou Valley in the heavens. Meanwhile, his second soul, the Three-legged Golden Crow, had already arrived at the Water Palace with a large number of treasures containing the essence of the Five Elements.

Water mansion, quiet room.

Leizhan in golden robes sat cross-legged on a cold jade bed, with treasures and strange objects emitting five-colored light suspended around him. These treasures weighed at least a thousand pounds and at most tens of thousands of pounds. The terrifying power of the treasures was gradually weakening as the five-colored light faded.

As time passed, the five-colored light on Leizhan's palms became increasingly intense.

The palm was emitting astonishing colorful light, with immense power, madly absorbing the essence of the five elements spiritual creatures around it.

a long time.

"Huh. It's done!" There was a burning look in Leizhan's eyes. He raised his palms, and saw a faint colorful light emanating from his palms. The terrifying power made people tremble.

"Fourth-level Star-Picking Hand! From now on, just relying on these two palms of mine, I will be able to reach the pinnacle of pure yang, comparable to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure! If I can unleash the power of three heads and six arms... that would be six innate spiritual treasures!"

Lei Zhan now feels terrifyingly powerful.

You should know that magic weapons are very important for cultivators.

Why does the strength of immortal cultivators increase so dramatically after crossing such a huge realm?

One is the transformation of one's own magic power, and the other is the improvement of magic weapons! Even if they are at the same level of Tao, the gap in strength is still huge.

It is impossible to use Pure Yang magic weapons at the Return to Void level. This is an unshakable truth in the entire Three Realms.

Even those gods and immortals only had a few innate spiritual treasures at most. But when Lei Zhan used his three heads and six arms and the Star-Picking Hand, he had six pure yang-grade magic treasures, six innate mid-grade spiritual treasures!

If Lei Zhan were to face Shao Yan Jingyu again now, at most, he would only need to extend a finger to easily kill him, just like killing an ant.

You should know that there is a huge difference between the third-turn star-picking hand and the fourth-turn star-picking hand!
One is the instantaneous explosive power, which has been improved.

The other is the improvement of the palm itself.

The two overlap.

That strength is a qualitative leap!
"Leizhan, congratulations!" The big yellow-haired bear appeared in the quiet room, his eyes fell on Leizhan's palms that were glowing with colorful light, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Now that you have reached the fourth level of the Star-Picking Hand, even in the entire Three Realms, it is considered quite good!"

Leizhan also had a smile on his face, "Unfortunately, if I want to improve my Star-Picking Hand, I can only survive the Heavenly Tribulation!"

There are six levels of Star-Picking Hand, and it is completely possible to cultivate it all the way to the True God level.

However, those below the level of Heavenly Gods can only cultivate to the fourth level at best. This is because although the divine bodies of Returning to Void Gods and Demons are strong, they can only withstand the explosive power of the fourth level of the Star-Picking Hand.

"So, accumulate enough foundation as soon as possible, and do your best to survive the divine calamity. When you truly become the master's disciple, there will be benefits waiting for you. Those are top benefits that even the true gods and Taoist ancestors would be jealous of!" The big yellow-haired bear also laughed.

Yellow-haired Bear was always extremely cautious in his promises. He had promised Lei Zhan a top-notch spear technique, and upon Lei Zhan's fulfillment, he would go directly to the Red Snow God. Naturally, he had considered these words for a long time.

"A benefit that even the True God and the Taoist Ancestor would covet?" Lei Zhan's mind moved, and he immediately remembered the innate top-grade spiritual treasure composed of 3,600 innate magic weapons.

"Yeah. Thinking too much now is too far away for you." The yellow-haired bear shook his head. "That is the treasure left by the master to the next lord of the palace. Even I don't know exactly what is inside. But what the master left behind is at least an innate spiritual treasure!"

"But if you want to obtain it, you must break through to become a Celestial God! Practice the Star-Picking Hand to the fifth level!"

……

outside world.

"We are almost at Xuanyou Valley." Fairy Wangshu looked at the huge valley in the distance. Endless clouds and mist were lingering above the valley, completely covering the entire valley.

"Yes, we're here." Leizhan also looked in the direction that Fairy Wangshu was looking.

He and Fairy Wangshu have been riding on the Five Thunder Universe Light Ship. The flying speed of this top-grade fairy-level magic weapon is comparable to that of gods and immortals, so it is not slow along the way.

"Fellow Daoist Leizhan, please put away your magic weapon first." Fairy Wangshu looked at the huge valley in the distance, with a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

"After entering, using magic weapons to fly will make it easier to encounter those formations and restrictions left over from ancient times."

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded and put away the magic weapon with a wave of his sleeve.
