Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

This Ling Zhengrong is truly terrifyingly cowardly.

They try to avoid the issue of cause and effect.

They even gave up the inn.

Ren Qingshan glanced at the group of puzzled and astonished cultivators, then casually walked towards the gate of the formation.

"Waiter, keep an eye on the house. I'll be back in a while."

Just making a joke offhand.

The waiter's smile was somewhat stiff, and he was filled with doubt.

This Ren Qingshan is clearly so kind and approachable, so why would his boss fear him like a snake?

Liu Fangyuan and Gu Weiqiu were also full of doubts, but now was not the time to talk. They quickly followed Ren Qingshan and left the place.

"What just happened?"

On the way back, Liu Fangyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps they see some terrible cause and effect in me."

Ren Qingshan casually replied that within his body, in the sea of ​​mortals, a dramatic change was taking place.

In the vast and magnificent sea of ​​spiritual energy, two more forces have now appeared.

The first one is the first chapter of the Nine Chapters of Soul Capture, the character "敕" (chì).

Second, there's the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning that I just obtained.

Once the indestructible Heavenly Tribulation Thunder in the world is formed into a Thunder Talisman, one will possess this authority. The wisps of lightning, like tamed beasts, become docile and obedient.

Ren Qingshan ordered him to sit in the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

A layer of lightning suddenly enveloped the shimmering surface of the spiritual sea, its flashes both beautiful and dreamlike, yet also dangerous and terrifying.

at the same time.

Within that vast expanse of mortal energy, the seeds of the Nine Chapters of Soul Capture drifted aimlessly, like dandelion seeds in the wind.

The mortal world has gained two more characteristics.

Ren Qingshan clearly felt that the characteristics of this Heavenly Tribulation Lightning were tempering the Red Dust Sea, making it more and more stable, as if it was about to be completed.

At this time.

The question that had been weighing on my mind resurfaced.

Is the Five Gods of Wealth Path suitable for everyone to practice together?

The answer from the Qinghua Immortal Sect was no.

Therefore, it was banned, and anyone who practices it will die.

Before I started practicing it, I naturally felt it was suitable. Why couldn't I practice such a good method?

However, after practicing it himself, he began to consider that it might attract malicious cultivators to commit murder and plunder.

At this moment, the answer to this question quietly emerged in Ren Qingshan's mind.

—Neither is acceptable nor unacceptable.

Heaven and earth are like a furnace, and everything is within this web of cause and effect. All the benefits gained and all the calamities that befall us are karmic consequences of every cause.

Everyone has their own tribulations.

The Qinghua Immortal Sect has its own tribulations.

As in ancient times, the mighty True Man and the Heavenly Sound Immortal Sect were also inevitably affected.

Moreover, what about the Five Paths of Wealth Path, which has five levels of Qi Refining?

Such is the law of cause and effect, beyond comprehension.

Cause and effect exist within the vast mortal world.

My mortal world must be described with one more word: a mortal world of tribulations...

The mortal world is a sea of ​​calamities!

Once you've passed through this mortal world, it's as if you've survived all the tribulations!

Ren Qingshan suddenly understood, and a sense of indifference, as if facing his fate with resignation, quietly crept into his heart.

I had some worries about what would happen after returning to Tiandu, but now those worries have dissipated considerably.

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wants to kill me, that is both my tribulation and his tribulation!

……

After sacrificing Gongsun Hanhai once more as a pledge of loyalty, the three returned to Jiaosu Pass.

Ren Qingshan didn't go to the top of the snowy mountain again, because there was no need.

They have their own tribulations to face.

Passing through the middle of the eight hundred peaks of Juetian, each peak had fallen into a deep slumber during this great calamity, as if in death.

They didn't see a single monk on the road.

As they approached the formation of the Horned Constellation Pass...

Liu Fangyuan's pupils suddenly contracted as he felt a terrifying aura rising from Ren Qingshan's body!

Ahead, a vast sea suddenly appeared!

The pure, transparent sea surface is full of vitality, yet exceptionally deep.

Above the sea, there was an almost boundless red mist, drifting and ethereal, making it impossible to see anything.

"Don't be afraid."

"That's my aura."

"At this moment, I have entered the realm of aura."

A calm voice rang in my ears.

Liu Fangyuan and Gu Weiqiu exchanged a glance, their Adam's apples bobbing, unable to hide the shock in their hearts.

Qi Refining Level 6!

Ren Qingshan has already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining?

He has been in this Heavenly Ruins for less than a year, and he has gone from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.

especially……

The aura before my eyes was something I had never heard of or seen before.

Its surrounding area alone is at least ten miles wide, and it is exceptionally mysterious, making people's hearts pound with fear, as if it hides a great terror.

Congratulations to Secretary Ren on his promotion!

"Haha, such an aura! Truly, one's foundation is incredibly profound; it's truly admirable!"

After the initial shock, the two were filled with joy. Under the influence of the soul-capturing seed, they were genuinely happy for Ren Qingshan.

Ren Qingshan nodded with a smile.

"Brother Liu, would you be willing to go in and give it a try?"

Although Liu Fangyuan was also at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was half a level higher than himself in terms of cultivation level and had already begun to cultivate his weapon.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fangyuan shook his head with a wry smile: "I have a strong feeling that if I go in, I will probably face a fatal crisis! The Golden Venerable Master personally trained me. With such an aura, without special means, ordinary aura realm cultivators would definitely find it difficult to withstand its power."

Hearing him say that, Ren Qingshan smiled slightly and did not insist.

"Alright, let's go then."

After collecting the mortal tribulation sea, Ren Qingshan looked at the invisible and formless Returning to Truth Array in front of him, recalling everything that had happened since he came to Tianxu, and was filled with emotion.

If it weren't for the compelling reason to return to Tiandu, this Tianxu would truly be my blessed land!

There are two reasons why I have to return to Tiandu:

Firstly, my family is in Tiandu.

Secondly, the Heavenly Book is in Tiandu.

"Since you've made such rapid progress, your colleagues might become suspicious of you when you return. Lord Jin will surely ask you if there's anything you need to tell us?"

Gu Weiqiu had already taken out the jade talisman to return to Jiaosu Pass and held it in his hand, but he asked one more question with meticulous attention to detail.

Liu Fangyuan immediately chimed in, "That's right. If Lord Jin asks..."

Ren Qingshan shook his head and smiled.

"It's alright. My aura is outwardly apparent, and it will be known whenever there's a battle. Being strong isn't a bad thing."

"In the past, during the debates on visualization, I avoided those scions of noble families like the plague. Now that I have established my own aura, if I still avoid them, what is the point of my spiritual practice?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

This, too, is a kind of "aura"!

"Alright, then we'll get ready to head back."

Gu Weiqiu crushed the returned jade talisman, and immediately a burst of light, from who knows where, enveloped his entire body.

They disappeared from the spot.

This method of returning was also something Ren Qingshan had never seen before. He was slightly surprised and followed suit, crushing the jade talisman and summoning the array light again.

The scenery flashed before my eyes.

The three of them then arrived at a palace within a formation.

Ren Qingshan marveled at the wonder of the Guixu Tracing Truth Grand Array, whose base was nowhere to be found, as if it were hidden in the heavens and earth.

In Dantian.

The Qi Refining Talisman, which had been dim in the Heavenly Ruins, suddenly began to shine again at this moment.

at the same time.

Two messages simultaneously reached Ren Qingshan's ears.

[Congratulations on your breakthrough to the fifth level of Qi Refining, Ren Qingshan. Please pay the tax for the fourth level of Qi Refining within one year. The amount is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.]

[Congratulations on your breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, Ren Qingshan. Please pay the Qi Refining Level 5 tax within one year, amounting to 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.]

Ren Qingshan remained silent.

Pretty!

But they knew I was back!
