In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 113 Obstruction and Calamity
"There's no point in saying more. Things have come to this point, is that all you want to say?"

Chen Yuntao spoke indifferently: "You still harbor the delusion of finding a flaw in my words?"

"Do you think you can escape from me? Or are you pinning your hopes on that White Lotus Celestial Maiden?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yuzhen's sorrow vanished, replaced by innate charm and captivating allure.

He even smiled.

It was as if all the resentment and fear from before were just an illusion.

"Chen Yuntao, you are indeed amazing. You are worthy of being the man I chose."

“With you here, I feel that Xie Dongshan living every day is an insult to you.”

"In that case, before I leave, I'll do one last thing for you: wipe away all the stains on your record."

"Ha ha……"

With a soft laugh, her figure turned into wisps of smoke and vanished in an instant.

Chen Yuntao remained unmoved, showing no emotion whatsoever towards her "escape".

It seems like it was expected, and it also seems like they didn't care.

He turned slightly and looked in one direction.

There, the King of Nanyang and the Leizhou forces were clearing out the remaining forces of the King of Jiushan.

……

Leizhou.

Outside Tonggu Bay.

"squeak--!"

A Thunder car screeched to a halt.

Chen Lingguan stared ahead in horror, his hands trembling on the steering wheel.

Under the cover of night, the road ahead was pitch black, like the gaping maw of a monster, devouring everything.

Within this dark, gaping maw, fiery red petals drifted slowly down.

It was as if a rain of flowers had fallen, with waves of wonderful fragrance wafting into the air, refreshing and soothing, bringing a sense of peace and even a feeling of joy.

The fear in Chen Lingguan's heart far outweighed this peace and happiness.

He gritted his teeth and slammed the accelerator to the floor.

The car suddenly lurched forward with a reckless momentum, crashing into the mouth of the terrifying behemoth that was showering petals.

"My dear son, where are you?"

"Come back to Mommy quickly, Mommy is looking for you, be good... good boy..."

As he passed through the falling petals, Chen Lingguan faintly heard a soft call.

Any child who hears their mother's gentle call should feel at ease and long to return to their mother's embrace.

This calling voice has that kind of magic.

However, Chen Lingguan was now filled with fear and had no warmth whatsoever.

The gentle voice, to his ears, was a sound more terrifying than the devil demanding his life.

All he wanted to do was escape, escape from the voice, escape from everything associated with the voice!
"Ahhhhhh~!"

He screamed frantically, trying to dispel the sound.

He frantically pressed the accelerator, his only regret now being that Leizhou was a no-fly zone.

Otherwise, if the flying car had been there, he could have escaped even faster.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

A broken mind and reckless driving finally brought about the deserved consequences.

The Thunder car suddenly went out of control, crashing into the green belt on the side. The entire car flew far away, rolled more than a dozen times after landing, and finally crashed into a wall, sliding more than ten meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Snapped!"

A bloodstained hand reached out from the broken car window.

Chen Lingguan crawled out covered in blood.

Although he was not yet an adult and had not yet begun cultivating his physical body, he was fortunate to have received various resources from his family since childhood, and his physical body far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, they would have died in that car accident.

He had already given up hope, but when he lifted his eyelids, he saw a gate that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him not far away.

There are several large characters there: Tonggu District Primary School

Chen Lingguan's face was covered in blood, but hope shone in his despairing eyes.

As it frantically crawled towards the gate, it screamed at the top of its lungs:
"dad!"

"Dad! Help me! Help me!"

"I don't want to die!"

Where he crawled, a long trail of blood was left on the ground...

……

Environmental Protection Bureau.

Xie Lingxin, together with Wangcai, caused chaos in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. Taking advantage of the chaos, they beat up Shen Wen and then quickly ran away.

I didn't dare go back to Leigong Village.

Although it's unclear whether the Corpse Buddha Craftsman was killed or driven away by that Old Fan, it's also unknown whether the White Lotus Society will launch any final counterattack.

It's safer to stay at the Environmental Protection Bureau for now.

We arrived at the ancient management office.

At night, apart from the staff on duty and the group of gossipy women from the Atmospheric Department, there was no one else in the bureau.

The ancient management office originally only had Jiang Daqiu and himself, and now there wasn't a soul in sight.

Staying here temporarily is a good option.

"Wangcai, how do you usually cultivate?"

Once things settled down, Xie Lingxin's thoughts returned to her cultivation.

His sexual function was stuck at 9.99, and the uncontrolled chaos in his sea of ​​consciousness made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Wangcai has been a god for so long and is very powerful. He should be able to give me some guidance, right?

"Awooo~"

Wangcai was taken aback, looking a little dazed.

Cultivation? That's easy. Just absorb the essence of the sun and moon, eat and drink as you please, and then fool some mortals into offering me some incense.

As time goes by, one's spiritual cultivation naturally increases.

"..."

Xie Lingxin rubbed her face vigorously.

You asked for nothing.

"Is this how... joyful you deities are in your cultivation?"

Wangcai imitated the posture of the sanitation workers, sitting cross-legged on the ground with its front paws supporting its chin.

"Ow..."

Hmm... as far as I know... that should be it!
"Awooo!"

Most of the monsters in the mountains have gained power by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Those that are more benevolent by nature continue to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and over time, they can accumulate some spiritual power.

Those with a more ferocious nature absorb the essence and blood from food and drink, cultivating much faster than those who follow the rules. "Awooo!"

For someone like me to be blessed with good fortune and become a deity, receiving offerings and incense, that's one in ten thousand!
It seems that the cultivation methods of spirits and monsters are different from those of ordinary people.

Xie Lingxin asked curiously, "Don't you ever encounter any bottlenecks in your cultivation?"

"Ouch?"

Bottleneck? What's that?

Xie Lingxin carefully said, "It's just... it's just that when you reach a certain level in your cultivation, you encounter an insurmountable obstacle and can no longer make any progress."

"Awooo!"

Wangcai waved its front paws.

Isn't that an obstacle to one's path and a calamity?
Xie Lingxin was taken aback: "A calamity that obstructs the path?"

"Ow!"

In fact, it's not just us spirits and monsters; even human cultivators like our master face obstacles and tribulations on their path to enlightenment.

Whether they are spirits, demons, or human cultivators, when they attain enlightenment, they will all face tribulations of thunder, fire, wind, and frost. Once they overcome these tribulations, they will achieve perfect merit and ascend to immortality.

If one cannot overcome this obstacle, one will die and perish.

This is called a celestial tribulation.

In addition, when one's spiritual practice progresses, the rise and fall of vital energy will cause a response from heaven and earth, and calamities will inevitably befall them.

When I was about to become a spirit, I let my spiritual energy escape, which attracted the mountain spirits to hunt me down, and I almost missed my chance.

This would be considered an earthly calamity.

There is also the law of cause and effect, and karmic retribution, which follows you like a shadow.

If you get involved in too many karmic entanglements outside the home, make enemies, or commit too many evil deeds, retribution will eventually come upon you, with vengeful spirits seeking your life and enemies looking for revenge.

This is a calamity for humanity!

"Awooo!"

Master, when you first came to the temple, I only wanted to scare you and show you my magic, so that I could... well, so that I could get some incense offerings from you.

I didn't want to make any enemies, but who knew that the ruthless one was after me!

As Wangcai spoke, he bared his teeth.

Xie Lingxin suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

Given Wangcai's strength, even if he weren't as powerful as he is now, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to kill those guys if he really wanted to. There's no need to make such a fuss.

"Awooo!"

These three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man all belong to external tribulations.

Wangcai barked again.

"Ow!"

For practitioners, there are also various internal tribulations that arise from the mind.

The seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, ignorance, and poison—all these can disturb the mind and bring about disaster.

It can even transform into a demon, devouring people's minds, confusing their intellect, and destroying their spiritual practice! It is extremely terrifying!
A hint of fear flashed in Wangcai's eyes.

"Ow~"

I once knew a great demon, an old fox. All the demons in the Black Mountain, including the King of Nine Mountains, called him the Fox Ancestor!

He was enlightened by a high-ranking Buddhist monk, and his Taoist cultivation was so profound that he almost reached the realm of a demon immortal!
When he attained enlightenment, the entire area of ​​Daheishan Mountain, spanning a thousand miles, transformed into a paradise, where Buddha preached, Arhats paid homage, and celestial maidens danced!

All sorts of wonderful realms and blissful experiences almost made me, a mere child, indulge in them and ascend to that damned "bliss".

Fortunately, the fox ancestor finally saw through the illusion created by the demon, thus saving the countless creatures of the Black Mountain from disaster.

As he spoke, Wangcai shuddered, seemingly recalling the scene and still feeling lingering fear.

Xie Lingxin listened with extreme curiosity: "Fox Ancestor? There are such high-level cultivators in the Great Black Mountain? Did that Fox Ancestor eventually attain immortality? Where did he go?"

"Ow!"

When one dies, one's body and spirit vanish.

Although the Fox Ancestor eventually saw through the illusion, he also exhausted his vital energy and died like a lamp running out of oil.

Wangcai looked rather listless.

Even someone as accomplished as Master Fox, who was almost an immortal, fell at the very last step.

It originally had lofty ambitions and hoped to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment.

After that incident, I never dared to even dream of it again.

After a long and arduous search, he finally found the method of becoming a god through incense offerings and thus embarked on the path of the divine.

"Ow!"

Master, why don't you cultivate the path of the gods with me? All that talk of attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven, of becoming an immortal—it's all illusion! It's all a lie! Nothing compares to the carefree life of a god.

Wangcai earnestly tried to persuade him.

"...Never mind, thank you."

Xie Lingxin felt that what Wangcai said wasn't unreliable, but rather that it might be outdated.

In the current Federation, every step of cultivation is crystal clear.

If you have enough money, you can basically find a solution.

I asked it myself, simply because I'm poor...

Calamity?

It might really exist, but he believed the Federation must also have a solution.

My current limitations probably don't even qualify me as being at such a high level, right?

Forget about such high-level issues for now.

Let's find a solution for cultivating sexual energy first.

Xie Lingxin originally wanted to start with the basic concepts of the Lingtai Guan and restore the legendary Lingtai Guan, but found that it seemed a bit impractical.

It's not that it's completely impossible, but it's too much of a waste of time.

He sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness, contemplating the innate mysterious water and yin thunder, and experiencing every slight change within it.

Upon sensing external noise, one should gather their mind and cease visualization.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already daylight.

[Sex: 9.99/10 (↑0)]

[Life: 4.80/10 (↑0.45)]

Without using the nectar, the progress of life cultivation was slightly slower.

His sexual performance remained stagnant.

Jiang Daqiu shuffled his bulky body in.

He looked surprised and asked, "You're up so early?"

Then, as if remembering something, she exclaimed in surprise, "You weren't involved in what happened last night, were you?"

Just as Xie Lingxin was about to speak, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from the training group.

Are they out?
Upon opening it, the first message was from Bai Ruhui. At first glance, it seemed insignificant, but upon closer inspection, it sent a chill down my spine.

Bai Ruhui: The clearing of Daheishan has been successfully completed. Those who survived, regardless of their gains, deserve congratulations. The latest leaderboard has been released; you can check it yourself...
