The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Situ Ling's breakthrough to the Spiritualization Realm was actually an adventurous attempt in a desperate situation.

However, he faced two serious problems: first, he was cursed, which made his condition far from the best; second, the Qingqiong Realm was now short of resources, and the treasures he could use to resist the heavenly tribulation were really limited.

As Situ Ling from the Canglan Immortal Sect, it was extremely rich to have several fourth-level spiritual tools. Many Yuanying cultivators could not even put together a spiritual tool.

Not to mention the higher-level magic tools such as spiritual treasures above spiritual tools and innate spiritual treasures.

The thunder tribulation was the punishment of the heaven to the cultivators. When the cultivators were going through the tribulation, they could only find ways to defend themselves, and they could never attack with magical powers.

Once the counterattack caused the wrath of the heaven, the power of the thunder tribulation would increase exponentially.

Previously, Cao Rui used the thunder tribulation to temper his body, which was already a borderline and wandering on the edge of danger.

If anyone dared to use magical powers to try to defeat the thunder tribulation, he would undoubtedly be on the road to destruction.

This was a painful lesson that countless senior cultivators had learned with their blood.

Facing such a terrifying thunder tribulation, he could only defend with all his strength, so the power of his magical power was naturally greatly reduced.

Although Situ Ling had many powerful spiritual tools, his magical power was still a little lacking.

The first fourteen thunder tribulations had passed, and only the last four thunder tribulations remained.

As long as he could successfully survive these four thunder tribulations, he would be able to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and become a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, and from then on he would step into the pinnacle of the immortal cultivation world and even ascend to the spiritual world.

However, these last four thunder tribulations were like an insurmountable natural chasm, blocking his way forward.

With the spiritual tools exhausted, the magical power could not stop the next stronger thunder tribulation at all. Situ Ling failed to survive the tribulation and turned into ashes under the thunder tribulation...

......

Cao Rui also didn't know how to appease the two Canglan Xianzong cultivators in front of him.

In the end, he could only set up a light of escape and leave.

Cao Rui returned to the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect and came to the cabin in front of the Spirit Pond.

Zixiao flew out, sensed Cao Rui's mood, and gently landed beside Cao Rui to accompany him.

"Dad, how long can you live?" Zixiao asked stupidly.

Apparently, he learned about Cao Rui's curse from Tianji Baby.

Cao Rui slapped Zixiao on the head and scolded with a smile: "Your dad is going to ascend to the spirit world. You will have to come to the spirit world to find me in the future. How long can you live..."

Zixiao smiled: "Oh! Dad doesn't have to die, that's great!"

"Don't worry, Dad, I will follow your footsteps and ascend to the spirit world with you in the future!"

Cao Rui nodded gently.

Today, Situ Ling failed to be promoted and fell under the thunder tribulation, which shocked him a little, and also gave him a lot of inspiration and thinking.

He began to seriously consider what preparations he should make next to deal with the thunder tribulation he will face when he is promoted in the future.

First of all, judging from the current resource situation of Qingqiong Realm, it has become unlikely to gather the five elements of spiritual swords.

Therefore, he needs to find other ways to improve his ability to defend against the heavenly tribulation.

First, he realized that he must collect some defensive magical powers that can resist thunder as soon as possible.

At present, most of his magical powers are offensive magical powers, but he has no defensive magical powers.

Now that the monks in the Qingqiong Realm are at their most united, it is not difficult to find a few ancient magical powers that are specifically used to fight against thunder.

While there are still high-level monks in the world, he can also use the relationship network of Jingshi and his own influence to collect these magical powers for cultivation.

As time goes by, Cao Rui, Jingshi Tianzun and other high-level monks will disappear one after another, and the Jingshi organization will eventually become only a legendary symbol.

In addition to the above two points, he also needs to find a way to continue to search for the treasures of the Vajra Glazed Body in person, and be sure to cultivate the Vajra Glazed Body to the peak realm of the Nascent Soul.

After all, this is his most powerful defense against the thunder tribulation.

In addition, he also intends to try whether he can sacrifice the Tianji Fortress into a post-natal spiritual treasure. After resolving the crisis of the demon clan and disbanding the Jingshi, the Tianji Fortress has completed its destiny.

This is also the only treasure in his hand that can be refined into a spiritual treasure and can compete with the thunder tribulation.

Finally, he summarized the three major things to do next: collect defensive magical powers, cultivate the Vajra Glazed Body to the peak of the Nascent Soul, and refine the Tianji Fortress into a spiritual treasure.

As for increasing mana to reach the threshold of promotion, this is actually the simplest thing.

In the past six months, in addition to refining pills for the Spirit Beast Sect, Tianji Baby and Zixiao, Cao Rui has also tried to use high-level spiritual stones directly for cultivation.

After some experiments, he came to a conclusion: giving more than 60,000 high-level spiritual stones on his body to the experience beads to devour, although it is a bit wasteful, doing so can force the experience value to fill up.

"It seems that this is the only way." Cao Rui sighed helplessly.

He knew that this method was not the best choice, but it was the most effective at present.

After all, it is not easy to find a way to quickly improve strength without waste.

If it were normal, he would only need two hundred years to fill the experience beads with the innate five elements spiritual roots.

But now he is cursed, so he has to waste some.

"Next, I need to collect some defensive magical powers that can target lightning, and then practice these magical powers while collecting the treasures needed for the last layer of the Vajra Glazed Body."

The plan was set, Cao Rui immediately activated the teleportation array and prepared to go to Huazhou Baicheng.

Now most of the high-level monks who were cursed gathered in Baicheng.

As the light of the teleportation array flickered, Cao Rui disappeared on the spot.

......

The news that Situ Ling failed to advance to the God of Transformation and died was like a heavy bomb, which quickly exploded in the circle of high-level monks in Qingqiong Realm.

This incident attracted widespread attention because it represented that the most powerful existence among the high-level monks who were troubled by the curse could not break through this terrible curse in the end.

This news was like a heavy dark cloud, covering the hearts of all high-level monks who suffered from the curse.

People began to realize that even a half-step God of Transformation power like Situ Ling was powerless in the face of the curse.

This undoubtedly brought a huge blow to other high-level monks who were also tortured by the curse.

They originally hoped to find a solution, but now it seems that all efforts will be in vain.

In Jinzhou, an elderly Nascent Soul monk felt extremely heavy after hearing the news.

He was already close to the end of his life, and the double blow of the erosion of the curse power and psychological pressure made it difficult for him to bear.

Finally, this Nascent Soul cultivator passed away under multiple blows.

This was the first case of a Nascent Soul cultivator who died due to a curse, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the entire situation.

Every once in a while, a group of cursed cultivators would gather in the small courtyard of Baicheng, Cao Ruihuazhou, to discuss how to deal with this terrifying curse power.

However, each gathering would end in disappointment.

Although everyone worked together, they could not find an effective way to break the curse.

They looked for clues everywhere and tried all possible methods, but the curse still eroded their souls mercilessly.

The daily shrinking range of the divine consciousness seemed to indicate the decline of the cultivators' lifespan.

Although the grassroots cultivators in the Qingqiong Xiuxian world did not know about the curse, they could feel the changes in the market.

The prices of the already scarce soul-related spiritual medicines and treasures soared, and it was difficult to buy them.

This abnormal situation attracted the attention of many people, and some people speculated whether something big had happened.

However, most people did not know the truth, and only a few high-level cultivators knew the reason.

These cultivators were very tight-lipped and did not dare to disclose the secret easily.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. More than half a year after the final battle, the news about the blue hole curse gradually spread.

At first, people did not believe this rumor, after all, the curse sounded too bizarre.

But as time went on, more and more famous monks who participated in the final battle began to die early.

When the monks who had participated in the final battle died one after another, the grassroots of the entire Qingqiong world fell into panic.

When the crowd was excited, some middle-level monks with ill intentions began to make small calculations.

It can be predicted with the naked eye that with the death of high-level monks, the strength of all parties in the world of cultivation will usher in a major reshuffle.

The best time to grasp power fell on these middle-level monks this time.

On the surface, the Qingqiong world of cultivation is enjoying the fruits of victory and the rapid development brought about by the change.

But an undercurrent has quietly surged. After all the high-level monks have fallen, who will become the next sect, organization or individual to dominate the Qingqiong world?

......

So.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

All the Jindan cultivators who participated in the final battle had died because of the curse and the disappearance of their souls.

More than a dozen Yuanying cultivators had also died.
