Mortal Bones

"Use your physical body to smash the calamity cloud with one punch?"

Not to mention those ordinary monks, even Shihu Tianjun looked incredulous when he saw this scene.

Reminiscing about the time when they were faced with the tribulation thunder that broke through the Heaven-shattering realm, they had to rely on the clan’s old guardians, large array restrictions, and magic weapons to survive.

And this is such a peaceful day.

It is simply unheard of to physically resist the calamity thunder and then smash the calamity cloud with one punch.

"No, not unheard of!"

At this time, amid the exclamations and surprises around him, Shihu Tianjun suddenly exclaimed.

Xiahou Qingyuan and Xiahou You on the side both looked at him with confusion.

Xiahou Qingyuan asked curiously:

"Third uncle, being able to survive the first calamity is nothing, right?"

Shihu Tianjun shook his head and said:

"If you just survived the first calamity, it would be nothing, but the problem is the way Xu Taiping survived the calamity!"

Xiahou Qingyuan frowned and said:

"What's wrong?"

Shihu Tianjun looked serious and said:

"I have occasionally heard the previous clan leader say that the ways to deal with the tribulation thunder are different, and the benefits obtained when breaking the tribulation are also completely different."

"Among these, relying on flesh and blood to survive calamities is the best."

"If you can break the calamity cloud again, it will be the best among the best."

"After satisfying these two points at the same time, it is very likely that you will receive powerful gifts from heaven and understand the true meaning or divine will in the calamity method."

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan immediately frowned and said:

"Third uncle, do you mean that Xu Taiping deliberately risked his body to crush the calamity cloud because he knew this?"

Shihu Tianjun nodded and said:

"Most likely."

When he said this, a beam of golden light suddenly fell from the crack in the calamity cloud and fell directly on Xu Taiping, who fell on the roof of Kasyapa Hall again.

In an instant, Xu Taiping, who was originally charred, skinned and bruised, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After seeing this scene, Shihu Tianjun immediately smiled bitterly and said:

"Whether he knows it or not, he has definitely received this gift now."

While he was talking, Xu Taiping's body began to show flashes of lightning.

On its back, a thunder pattern clearly appeared.

After Xiahou Qingyuan saw the thunder pattern clearly, his heart was shocked and he said:

"Is this the innate thunder pattern that allows monks to quickly understand the thunder method and control the power of thunder!"

Xia Houyou on the side clenched his fists tightly and said excitedly with moist eyes:

"If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved!"

"This is not a gift from heaven, let alone good luck. This is what Xu Taiping deserves!"

Xiahou Qingyuan and Shihu Tianjun were both silent.

As if in response to Xia Houyou's words, Xu Taiping, who was lying motionless on the ground, slowly stood up again.

I saw him holding the long knife at his waist with one hand, and grabbing the bamboo hat with the other hand and putting it on his head.

Then he looked up at the sky and said in a low voice:

"Qingxuanzong Xu Taiping, today, ask the sky for the sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull thunder boom, and at the same time, the originally gloomy thunder clouds lit up one after another.

Taking a closer look, there were actually twelve calamity clouds that lit up.

After seeing the number of calamity clouds clearly, Shihu Tianjun frowned and said solemnly:

"Twelve calamity clouds rain down calamity thunder at the same time. This is the treatment that ordinary monks get when they break through the shocking realm and face the third level of calamity cloud!"

Xiahou Qingyuan snorted coldly and said:

"If it hadn't been for that punch just now, there would never have been twelve calamity clouds that lit up at the same time. He deserves this!"

Xia Houyou said nothing.

But her clenched fists already showed her state of mind at the moment.

But at this time, Xu Taiping seemed completely unaware of how terrifying the power of the twelve calamity clouds was. He just looked up at the sky, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and made a gesture of drawing the sword.

This situation is really like a monk asking the sky for a sword.

Somehow, many monks who were cursing Xu Taiping just now felt an inexplicable respect in their hearts when they saw him pressing the hilt of his knife and facing the twelve calamity clouds.

A sense of respect as a practitioner.

…

"Rumble..."

The roof of Kasyapa Hall.

Xu Taiping pressed the handle of the sword with his forearm to concentrate the power of the sword. The lotus pupil in his left eye suddenly lit up on its own, and a blue flame overflowed from the corner of his eye.

At the same time, Liantong's voice was in his mind again:

"Xu Taiping, does this sword require my power?"

The power Liantong mentioned about him naturally refers to the divine power that predicts Xu Tianping's combat power ten years in advance.

Seeing Xu Taiping didn't answer, Liantong added:

"This time, I can let you advance your power thirty years from now."

Xu Taiping stared unblinkingly at the twelve calamity clouds that lit up above his head, and asked Lantong:

"If I can smash those twelve calamity clouds with one sword at this moment, wouldn't I be stronger thirty years from now?"

Lian Tong was speechless.

Immediately, Xu Taiping asked again:

"Lian Tong, if I use the method of questioning to survive this severe calamity, will I still be able to receive gifts from heaven like just now?"

The reason why Xu Taiping used his physical body to ask Jie Yun for punches was precisely because Lian Tong told him in advance that he could get unexpected benefits by overcoming the calamity in this way.

Liantong replied:

"It depends on how powerful your sword is?"

Lian Tong explained:

"I just said that every heavenly tribulation after the transformation realm is an opportunity for cultivators. How much you can get depends on your personal means."

Lian Tong immediately added:

"But for you, there are not many ways to avoid the tribulation. Instead of waiting for the tribulation thunder to slowly fall one by one, and then think of ways to avoid the tribulation."

"It is better to use the method I taught you to break the tribulation, and the chance of success is greater."

If Abbot Jiaye, Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi are still at their current cultivation and combat power, and can help Xu Taiping avoid the tribulation together, then he will naturally have a greater chance of success by using the method of avoiding the tribulation.

But now, he can only rely on himself, and with few magic weapons and means on him, he can only take risks as Lian Tong said.

This is also the reason why Xu Taiping agreed with Lian Tong's suggestion.

Xu Taiping nodded silently, muttering in his heart:

"I understand."

At this time, accompanied by another burst of "booming" thunder, the spider-web-like lightning flashed again above the calamity cloud above his head.

Xu Tianping, who had the experience last time, knew that the calamity thunder would soon fall.

Immediately, he closed his eyes and began to use his mind to sense the remaining clones he left in the Demon-Suppressing Coffin in the Youxuan Cave.

The most special thing about the Xuanyuan clone is that.

Even if it is tens of thousands of miles away, the real body can still sense it very clearly.

After sensing each one for a while, Xu Taiping's mind finally fell on the clone that practiced swordsmanship for him.

At this moment, the voice of the sword ghost sounded in his mind:

"Boy, it's great that you can make such a choice!"

The sword ghost continued:

"Today, I can ask the sky for the sword to break the catastrophe. Why worry that I can't open the gate of heaven with the sword when I ascend to heaven in the future?"

What the sword ghost said was what Xu Taiping thought in his heart.

So he nodded silently, and then without any doubt, he suddenly dispersed the Xuanyuan clone who practiced sword for him in the demon coffin in the Youxuan Cave.

"Boom!..."

In an instant, the true essence and blood that originally belonged to the Xuanyuan clone were all infused into Xu Taiping's body.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Xuanyuan clone's sword practice with the sword ghost for several years in the demon coffin was also fully integrated into Xu Taiping's soul.

"Zheng..."

In an instant, a sword intent full of desolate and sad meaning suddenly wrapped the surrounding heaven and earth aura, turned into a straight air column and rushed into the sky.

At the same time, a huge stone tablet illusion suddenly stood behind Xu Taiping.

The names engraved on the stone tablet were the names of the cultivators who died defending the city for the people, defending the Dao for the human race, or dying for their own Dao proof under Xu Taiping's eyes.

The sword intention or sword intention of the sword cultivators and sword cultivators was very different at every stage of his cultivation.

Some people's sword intention was like a volcano, and some people's sword intention was like a river.

And Xu Taiping's sword intention was transformed by the fearless determination of the cultivators who sacrificed themselves to defend the Dao in his lifetime.

In his opinion, compared with the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, the determination to die fearlessly for the sake of proving the Dao, defending the Dao, and the people of the world is the sharpest blade in this world, in this world, and in the hands of those who seek the Dao.

As all the names on the stone tablet appeared, another line of words appeared on the last line of the stone tablet——

"The one who died today is Xu Taiping of Qingxuan Sect."
