[121] Being Given The Top Spiritual Treasure, The Girl Held Hands And Played A Battle Of Gods (Pleas
"Grandfather, what did you say?"
Li Tong poked his elderly back.
Then he quietly peeked out and looked at Wu Ping.
Although it was their first meeting, this person had left a deep impression in her heart.
"Hmph."
The old man snorted coldly.
"Old monster, come with me."
He turned around and supported Pengniao, leading the way.
On the flying boat, Wu Ping looked at the grandfather and grandson on Pengniao and asked, "Master, who is this senior?"
Ouyang Zhongmo controlled the flying boat while answering, "Oh, him? He's called Li Zhong, the master of the Gu Mo Cave in the Twelve Caves of Nanshan. He has reached the Transcending Tribulation stage and achieved fifty percent immortality. I've known him for thousands of years. He came today specifically to pick us up and take us to the Twelve Caves of Nanshan."
"Fifty percent immortality?"
Wu Ping was somewhat confused.
Seeing his question, Ouyang Zhongmo didn't say anything like "Your cultivation level is too low, it's not something you should think about."
Instead, he answered in detail, "The stage of immortality is the stage after Transcending Tribulation. It no longer divides realms based on strength. After crossing the tribulation, there are two methods of achieving immortality: Corpse Dissolving Immortality and Ascending with the Liver of Rising Mist. Corpse Dissolving Immortality means abandoning the physical body and achieving immortality through the power of a powerful soul, no longer bound by the physical body, freely roaming the heavens and earth. Ascending with the Liver of Rising Mist means ascending to immortality while taking the physical body along. In fact, the two methods are quite similar, just with an additional path, an additional suitable choice."
"After crossing the tribulation, what you cultivate is not spiritual power, but magical power. You need to convert the spiritual power cultivated within your body into magical power. Only when you have converted all the spiritual power you can convert into magical power can you truly embark on the path of immortality."
"Generally speaking, the conversion process is determined by the opening of the sea of consciousness during the cultivation of the second stage. If the sea of consciousness is opened to ninety percent, then you can convert only ninety percent of the spiritual power into magical power, leaving ten percent as spiritual energy."
Hearing this, Wu Ping thought of his own fully opened sea of consciousness.
"What if someone's sea of consciousness is fully opened?"
Ouyang Zhongmo smiled and said, "My good disciple, how is it possible to have a fully opened sea of consciousness? The most I've heard of is 'three,' which means ninety-nine percent, which is already incredible."
"But, you know, this idea has been proposed before. If someone's sea of consciousness is fully opened and this person can cultivate to the Transcending Tribulation Realm and successfully cross the tribulation, then it is very likely that they won't need to achieve immortality. After the heavenly tribulation is over, they can directly become an immortal."
"But this is just speculation from us old folks sitting around chatting."
As he spoke, he unintentionally revealed something meaningful.
Skipping a major realm!
Who said no one can open a fully opened sea of consciousness?
Didn't I open mine fully?
Of course, this is something that cannot be said out loud.
Wu Ping secretly kept it in mind.
"But back then, the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying. Even the Heavenly Tribulation of the ordinary Transcending Tribulation Realm was extremely terrifying. The higher the degree of sea of consciousness cultivation, the more powerful the Heavenly Tribulation. So, this ten percent sea of consciousness is probably going to be struck by the heavens."
If it were someone else, they might have been scared.
But not Wu Ping.
Sorry, with the protection of merit and the blessings of the Great Dao Lord and the two Heavenly Dao Lords.
The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be as close to him as a blood brother he grew up with.
At most, it was just a matter of form.
But this also served as a wake-up call for Wu Ping.
He knew some information about the Heavenly Tribulation during Transcending Tribulation. The more people there were in the area of the Heavenly Tribulation, the more powerful it would be.
And the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't strike oneself.
If he really transcended the tribulation one day...
Wu Ping would definitely go to the territory of an enemy and strike hard!
Although he didn't have one now, he might have one in the future.
If there was such an enemy, he would do it like this!
The flying boat was moving fast.
Before long, the front cleared the clouds and revealed the light.
Several ancient mountains stretched out, with buildings and pavilions built against the mountains.
Compared to the dark and sunless environment of the Seven Blood Sect, this place was countless times better.
Wu Ping was also puzzled. They were all demonic cultivation sects, so why was there such a big difference?
He didn't understand.
Finally, the flying boat stabilized.
Several cultivators with profound auras, like an ocean, looked up at Wu Ping and the others.
"Elder Ouyang, it's been many years. Your body is still so strong."
"Don't worry, even if you die, I won't die."
"Hmph, your mouth is still so stubborn. Why haven't we heard news of your suicide for so long? Now you've developed a liking for life?"
"Oh, Sister Zhu'er, please don't speak nonsense. My disciples are here."
"Who is your sister? Aren't you embarrassed? We're all over ten thousand years old, yet you still have no filter in your words!"
Wu Ping raised his eyebrows and glanced at his master, then looked at the elder across from him who appeared to be as young as a maiden.
Is there something going on here!?
Although his time with Ouyang Zhongmo was short, Wu Ping understood that Ouyang Zhongmo was not someone who spoke casually.
There must be something going on.
But this is a bit unbelievable. This elder from the Twelve Caves of Nanshan looks like a young maiden, and as for his master...
Just an old man.
How does this match up?
Just from appearances, it gives off a feeling of a young girl serving her father.
No, no, I can't judge people by their appearance!
Ouyang Zhongmo pulled Wu Ping over.
"Let me introduce you formally. This is my first and only closed-door disciple, Wu Ping!"
"Everyone, take a good look and remember, if you meet my disciple outside in the future, remember to guide and help him."
Wu Ping cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to all the seniors."
"You have a handsome appearance and a strong aura. It seems you are a rare genius. Just don't learn from your master and get into some romantic debts. Here, Wu Ping, this is a gift for our first meeting."
"This is the Spider Ape Hand, given to you as a gift. If anyone bullies you in the future, use this to fight back."
As Elder Henzhu spoke, he put on a black glove with a somewhat peculiar but handsome design on Wu Ping's hand.
However, this glove only covered his index and middle fingers.
The other three fingers were exposed.
On the back of the hand, there was a lifelike and ferocious spider.
At the tips of the two covered fingers were two sharp spider venomous pincers.
Upon seeing the gift given by Elder Henzhu, the others' faces changed.
Ouyang Zhongmo anxiously said, "No, no, little sister, this is a top-notch Spiritual Treasure that you have prepared for your future personal disciple. This..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ping instantly felt his hand becoming heavy.
"No, no, Elder Henzhu, this gift is too precious. Wu Ping really can't afford it," he said, wanting to take off the Tianzhu Ao gloves in his hand. But a delicate hand came up and held Wu Ping's hand down, saying, "You can't take it off. It has already been given to you. You can't ask for something that has been given away."
"Besides, Ouyang Zhongmo, it's none of your business. I can give it to whoever I want. I just think this child is compatible with me. You were lucky to encounter him. If I had encountered him first, he would have been my disciple."
Upon hearing Elder Henzhu praise his disciple's breakthrough, a smile appeared on Ouyang Zhongmo's face. "Little sister Zhu, our tastes are still so similar. When I first saw this kid, I was drawn to him. I must make him my disciple!"
"You shameless old man, who said our tastes are similar? Wu Ping, keep it well. The Tianzhu Ao gloves have been refined by me. As long as you have a thought, they will instantly become your Spiritual Treasure. Use them well in the future."
The conversation had reached this point. If Wu Ping refused again, it would be his fault.
"Thank you, Elder Henzhu."
Who would have thought that he would gain a top-notch Spiritual Treasure just by coming to play? It was on par with his Buddha Whip.
Who would be equipped with such a top-notch Spiritual Treasure?
It must be someone powerful!
Even in the Three Flowers Realm, not everyone would have a top-notch Spiritual Treasure.
And now he had two of them.
Wu Ping didn't know what to say anymore.
"Come, Wu Ping, this is my token. Take it and you can freely explore the entire Southern Mountain Twelve Caves, as long as it's not a forbidden area. We need to discuss some matters with your master. Just remember not to go too far. Tomorrow, we will watch the grand event."
As the words fell, a small head popped out from behind Li Zhongchang, the elder of the Gu Mo Cave.
"Grandma Henzhu, let me take Wu Ping. He's unfamiliar with this place, and I'm afraid he'll be bullied."
The expressions of the crowd froze.
Then they slowly looked at Wu Ping, and then at Ouyang Zhongmo.
So this old man brought his disciple to our Southern Mountain Twelve Caves to do business!
The top-notch Spiritual Treasure was taken away.
The granddaughter of the Gu Mo Cave's master was also deceived!
...
Elder Hate Spider chuckled, "Then it's up to you, Tong Tong."
"Not a problem."
The girl ran up boldly and grabbed Wu Ping's hand, pulling him away.
Li Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, "Be reserved, be reserved!"
"Tong Tong!! I've taught you so much, a girl should be reserved!"
The girl couldn't hear anymore.
She had already taken Wu Ping's hand and ran off somewhere.
Their figures disappeared.
"Ouyang Zhongmo, that's my own granddaughter!!"
"Ah!! You've angered me, today I will fight you to the death!!"
Elder Ouyang, who had learned from Wu Ping, spread his hands innocently, "Ah, it's the affairs of the younger generation, us old folks can't control it."
"But speaking of which, Wu Ping is my obedient disciple, and Tong Tong is your own granddaughter. If we go by that, aren't you a generation shorter than me?"
"Fuck your mother, do you see if my fist is twice as big as yours?"
"Fuck 'your' mother, my fist is not to be trifled with either. You old man, you're so arrogant because of your strong cultivation. Dare you not use your magical power to fight me, and whoever loses has to call the other 'father'!"
"Fuck 'your' mother, with my cultivation, I don't need to fight you physically. What are you thinking?"
"Fuck 'your' mother, are you scared? You coward!"
"Fuck 'your' mother, who's the coward? I...…"
The two of them went back and forth, constantly cursing each other.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Li Tong led Wu Ping to a grassy lawn on a small hilltop, surrounded by ancient trees covered in various blooming flowers.
Wu Ping could clearly feel the warmth in the girl's palm.
She let go with a cry.
Like a startled rabbit.
Wu Ping smiled.
Two figures appeared in his mind.
Chimeng from the painting world and Zhao Linger from Xianling Island.
"I'm called Li Tong."
"I'm called Wu Ping."
Wu Ping sat on the grass, taking in the scenery with his eyes.
"Have you been to Yao Tai?" he asked.
"Did you hear about it?" Li Tong nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Is it beautiful?"
"Although I haven't been there myself, I've heard about it in stories."
"Can you tell me about it?"
After Li Tong asked this question, she felt like she might have been too forward.
She quickly waved her hand. "No, no, I mean, if you don't want to, it's okay."
Wu Ping propped himself up with one hand and pointed to the sky. "There."
Li Tong followed his gaze.
The sky was empty.
"Where is it?"
"In the sky. Yao Tai is where the fairies live. It's made of white jade, surrounded by ethereal mist. It surpasses countless beautiful sights in the mortal world. My imagination is limited, but wherever it is, the person you want to see and the beautiful scenery you long for can all be found there."
Li Tong was captivated.
After a long while, she asked, "Can only immortals go to Yao Tai?"
"Yes, only immortals, or rather, only female immortals can go. There is a powerful female immortal named Xi Wangmu who governs all the female immortals. They all live there."
"Will Tong Tong's mother be there?"
This question gave Wu Ping pause.
"She must be there. She must be looking down from the sky, watching over you."
Li Tong became flustered.
Tears kept streaming down her face.
When she looked up, she was already crying.
"Wu Ping gege, if Tong Tong had a difficult or unhappy past, would her mother see it..."
Wu Ping didn't answer her question. "Are you happy now?"
The girl nodded.
"That's great. The unhappiness before might have made your mother sad, but now that you're happy, she will also be happy."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. I never lie."
Li Tong stopped crying and smiled.
He put his hand to his mouth and shouted to the sky, "Mom!!"
"Tongtong is doing well now. Grandpa spoils me. Tongtong will never compete with the dog for food again, and will never live in a leaky house. Tongtong is powerful now, with high cultivation."
"Tongtong has grown up and is no longer the dirty little beggar. Mom! You have to wait for Tongtong, wait for Tongtong to become an immortal and come find you."
Few words were spoken.
But there was a lot implied.
Wu Ping had many questions in his mind.
He didn't understand, didn't comprehend.
Why did Li Tong, as the granddaughter of the Gumo Cave Master of the Southern Mountain Twelve Caves, have such experiences?
But Wu Ping didn't want to ask.
The past bad experiences were like scars. Speaking of them again would reopen the wounds and reveal the bloody scenes within.
"Wu Ping, how old are you today?"
"I'll be fifteen in two months."
Li Tong covered her mouth and her eyes moved around. "Hungry."
"What's wrong?"
She shook her little head. "Nothing, nothing. Wu Ping, you seem very mature."
"Can I understand that as you saying I look older than my actual age?"
"Not at all, Tongtong was complimenting you."
She secretly glanced at Wu Ping's profile.
She bent her fingers, showing 3.8.
Then she raised two fingers.
Done, she was two years older than Wu Ping now.
He became her younger brother.
She must never let him know that she was two years older than him, otherwise she couldn't call him "big brother" anymore.
"Brother Wu Ping, do you want to go out for a stroll? I know a good place where it's lively and everyone is there to fight bugs."
"Fight bugs?"
Wu Ping became interested.
It's like watching ants move when we were kids, and watching cricket fights when we grew up.
It always attracts the curiosity of boys.
"Is it like cricket fights?"
"Cricket fights?"
Li Tong couldn't quite understand.
Wu Ping explained to him, "It's like putting two small bugs in a jar and making them fight."
Li Tong thought for a moment, "Hmm, it's like cricket fights, but bigger, right?"
"Then let's go, take me to see."
Wu Ping was still thinking, it's normal for it to be bigger, but he didn't consider what kind of place this was.
But when they arrived, he realized, oh well.
This wasn't just bigger, it was much bigger.
On the platform of the towering mountain peak, there were monks from the Southern Mountain Twelve Caves surrounding it.
Several battlefields were divided in the middle, and the 'big' bugs, like small mountains, were fighting fiercely.
The onlookers were all excitedly shouting.
There were also betting booths nearby.
Li Tong brought Wu Ping along.
"Brother Wu Ping, isn't it lively here?"
"It's indeed lively."
As they exchanged questions and answers, Tong Tong suddenly saw something through the crowd.
"Brother Wu Ping, there's a divine seed fight today. Let's go quickly. If we win money, I'll treat you to something delicious."
Pulling Wu Ping through the crowd.
A divine seed fight?
Wu Ping looked at the badge on his shoulder.
The opportunity to get rich has arrived, hasn't it?
Asking for votes, asking for flowers...
