Chapter 223 Little Leiyin Country
‘Boom! ! ’
Thunderbolts fell one after another. Jiang Lin tried to count them at first, but after the number exceeded one hundred, he was too lazy to count anymore.
He was no longer sitting cross-legged, but was supporting his head with his arms, glancing sideways at the sky, where dark clouds were still brewing thunder.
Another bolt of thunder struck, and Jiang Lin shuddered symbolically.
"Why isn't it over yet..."
Jiang Lin resisted the urge to yawn.
He looked inward and discovered that his soul had changed from being translucent at the beginning to having a texture like pure crystal now.
This is undoubtedly a qualitative improvement.
"God" is always one of the fundamentals for practitioners and the most important foundation.
The state of "God" also determines the path of a practitioner.
Take Jiang Lin himself as an example. His soul is now clear and pure, like crystal. This proves that Jiang Lin not only has no karma or evil sins, but even has merits, which is why it is so clear.
If one carries with him the karma of evil deeds, his soul will naturally be occupied by evil qi. Even if he survives the thunder tribulation, there will be no improvement and the basic color will still exist.
As mentioned before, if one has not committed any evil and has done good deeds, a thunder tribulation will befall one, which is Jiang Lin’s current situation.
The thunder at this time is no longer a disaster, but a great opportunity.
When thunder strikes, it will use the most powerful and masculine force between heaven and earth to temper the body and cultivation of the practitioner. The most significant change is the change in the soul.
But the problem is, this kind of tempering should also have a constant, a limit...
As for Jiang Lin now, he has no idea how much thunder tempering he has gone through, and it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon.
Looking at his soul that had become as good as crystal, Jiang Lin couldn't help but blink. If he continued like this, wouldn't his soul be tempered into substance?
Little did they know that not only Jiang Lin was surprised, but also some great gods who watched Jiang Lin "overcoming the tribulation" were exceptions.
"Wenqu, among us, you have the highest merits and the most virtues. You originally..."
Wu Qu Star Lord couldn't help but look at Wen Qu Star Lord.
The latter said with a strange look: "At the beginning, I was tempered with 130 thunderbolts. I dare not say that I am the best in the Three Realms, but I should be in the top 20."
"But this child..."
Wenquxingjun looked at Jiang Lin who was almost submerged in the thunder, his expression becoming more and more strange: "There must be two hundred?"
"Two hundred and thirty-three."
Pojun Star Lord spoke concisely and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Lin.
Wenquxingjun couldn't help but look at Tianpeng. As a great god of the Arctic series, he also knew Jiang Lin, the only descendant of the Black Law Division in the world.
As an outstanding disciple of his own, Wenquxingjun would naturally pay some attention to him. He also knew that this child had saved millions of lives, killed countless evil spirits, and had the merit of following Ziwei and helping the dragon to ascend to the throne.
But even if all these things were added together, there would only be about a hundred thunders. Why is it so exaggerated?
Wenquxingjun discovered that Marshal Tianpeng looked somewhat relieved, as if he knew something.
Facing Wenquxingjun's inquiring eyes, Marshal Tianpeng slowly said, "One hundred thousand years of incense in exchange for a thunderbolt, his master has spent a huge sum of money to build a flawless immortal foundation for him."
"what?!"
When these words were spoken, not only Wenqu Star God, but other Star Gods all had faces filled with shock and surprise.
They all knew who the boy's master was, but because of this, they were even more surprised.
Although the cultivator's ascension thunder is within the power range of Shenxiao Jade Pivot, even Shenxiao Jade Pivot only controls the "switch".
The one who truly brings down thunder is Heaven.
Shenxiao Yushu only provides a "coordinate" to the Heavenly Dao.
This is what surprised the masters.
If Shenxiao Yushu is in full control, it will be the tempering of thousands of thunders, and some great gods can "pay" for their younger disciples.
But this is the power of heaven.
Those who want to make an "exchange" with Heaven can be counted on one hand.
To have this qualification, one must have great merits, great fortune, and great conduct, and only then can one communicate with the Way of Heaven.
And even then, the cost is enormous.
"Even that lord is too..."
Wenquxingjun wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally could only look at Jiang Lin with a complicated expression.
In the end, the number of thunders was fixed at two hundred and ninety-nine.
Under the gaze of several Arctic gods, Marshal Tianpeng waved his hand gently, and Jiang Lin's figure suddenly disappeared.
"Jiang Lin's ascension to heaven must be kept secret and must not be known to others."
Marshal Tianpeng looked at the several core gods of the Arctic School present and solemnly warned: "There must be a Black Law Master in the world."
Having said this, Marshal Tianpeng paused, and continued more solemnly: "This is the Emperor's order."
"only!"
Upon hearing this, many great gods did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They all faced the North Pole and bowed to receive orders.
…………
"Well……"
Jiang Lin opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead in confusion.
I lowered my head and found myself sitting cross-legged on a patch of grass, then looked around.
He was no longer in the sea of stars in the outer world, but in a dense forest. The familiar aura was reminding him that this was somewhere in the human world.
Don’t the big guys say hello when they drive? This is the nth time…
Jiang Lin muttered to himself, sat cross-legged and looked inward.
"I……"
It didn't matter what he saw, Jiang Lin's eyes widened immediately.
I saw that within his sea of consciousness, his soul was sitting cross-legged, and it looked exactly the same as himself. This was normal.
But what was abnormal was that at this moment his soul was no longer crystal clear.
Flawless.
Apart from this word, Jiang Lin could not think of any other words to describe his soul.
and……
Jiang Lin's mind moved, and his soul expanded spontaneously. In just a moment, it crossed the sea of consciousness and filled his entire body.
He opened his eyes and tried to raise his hands.
'Om...'
Just by raising your hands and moving your feet, the Qi of heaven and earth will respond spontaneously.
Whether it is the Yin God, Yang God, or Yuan Shen, they are all the embodiment of the cultivator's morality in accordance with heaven, the manifestation of Taoism, and the bridge between heaven and earth.
Therefore, the "spirit" of a practitioner is also called the bridge between heaven and earth in the human body.
If the "bridge between heaven and earth" of ordinary practitioners is a path in the forest, bicycles can pass through unimpeded and smaller cars can also pass through quickly. If things get really desperate, even if the road is damaged, buses can squeeze in.
The better one, the so-called Tianjiao Bridge, is a highway. It can accommodate ordinary cars without any problems, and tanks can pass through it once or twice in an emergency without regard for the consequences.
So, by analogy, Jiang Lin's bridge between heaven and earth is a military airport...
Not to mention cars and tanks, even airplanes are just ordinary.
Whether the soul is full or not not only represents whether it is stable, but also represents how much power of heaven and earth it can communicate with and withstand. Jiang Lin's soul can instantly fill his whole body with a thought, reaching the state of "the body is the spirit".
This is the most important thing for practitioners after ascending to immortality, namely: the essence of the soul.
The essence of the primordial spirit cannot be cultivated after birth, but is the innate foundation. What it is at the moment of ascending to heaven will determine what will happen afterwards.
Perhaps there is a heaven-defying method that can improve the essence of the soul, but that method is obviously not a normal method.
There is a limit to going against the will of heaven.
Jiang Lin took a deep breath and felt something was wrong. He had always been very self-aware. He might be a genius, but he was just a genius.
His current flawless spirit, or in other words, flawless immortal foundation, would never have been able to reach this level without any help.
Thinking back to the obviously wrong amount of thunder tempering, Jiang Lin thought of something.
"Old man, is that you?"
Jiang Lin was talking to himself, and of course no one would answer him.
But Jiang Lin seemed to be sure of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Although he still doesn't know the old man's specific identity, he is very sure that if he wants to achieve the current result through his Thunder Tempering, there will definitely be a huge price to pay.
As for the person who would be willing and even proactive in bringing about this "bill" and willing to "pay" it, Jiang Lin could only think of the old man.
Only old men.
Thinking in his heart, Jiang Lin stood up and temporarily suppressed the matter in his heart. Since it was the old man's arrangement, what he had to do was not to find a way to repay him or be moved to tears, but to not let the old man down.
"But what's the situation now?"
Jiang Lin looked around. The environment he was in was just an ordinary forest. There were no features that allowed him to determine his exact location.
Moreover, generally speaking, after a cultivator ascends to heaven, there should be a guide from heaven who will come and ask if he is willing to ascend to heaven to serve as an official.
Jiang Lin simply skipped this choice because he already possessed the Heavenly Talisman from the moment he started practicing.
Logically speaking, Jiang Lin should now be reporting for the first time at the Black Law Division and receiving specific responsibilities, that is, duties.
Even if Jiang Lin did not go to the Black Law Division immediately due to some accidents, I think Wei Tianjun would not just sit there and do nothing.
But he still appeared in the human world, not in the Black Law Department of the North Pole Exorcism Institute in Heaven.
Then the biggest possibility is.
"acquiescence?"
Jiang Lin thought thoughtfully, his spiritual sense spread out instantly. He did not try to test the current limit of his spiritual sense, but just stopped after exploring the environment outside the dense forest.
After seeing the environment outside the dense forest clearly, Jiang Lin's expression changed. He chose a direction and started walking.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Lin passed through the dense forest.
What appeared before his eyes was a vast, endless desert with yellow sand everywhere. The extremely dry quicksand was carried by the wind tirelessly, forming layer upon layer of sand dunes.
The dense forest where Jiang Lin was originally located was an oasis in this desert.
Now Jiang Lin can at least be sure of one thing, that his location is definitely not within the territory of Zhou State.
Looking at the endless desert in front of him, Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and looked towards the east.
Soon, a camel caravan slowly emerged from the desert skyline.
It was a large camel caravan, and each camel was carrying many packages.
This is a food transport team.
Jiang Lin moved his feet, and when he reappeared, he was less than ten feet away from the camel caravan.
Although he appeared suddenly, the people in the camel caravan were not surprised at all. In their opinion, Jiang Lin should be there, harmoniously and naturally.
This was certainly not some kind of magic that Jiang Lin cast on these mortals, but rather a manifestation of his own spiritual attainments.
The bridge between heaven and earth created by the flawless immortal foundation allowed Jiang Lin to mobilize the power of heaven and earth naturally, without any artificiality, and with endless uses.
"My dear father, you are polite."
Jiang Lin looked at the old man leading the camel caravan and bowed with a smile.
"oops!"
The old man exclaimed, stepped forward quickly, and saluted respectfully. However, what he said made Jiang Lin puzzled. He only heard the old man say: "Greetings, Master. Please give the name of the cultivation temple to me so that I can know whose offerings I have delayed."
As he spoke, the old man looked at Jiang Lin anxiously, wondering why this master was dressed so strangely?
Master?
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "My dear father, you misunderstood. I am not a monk... Besides, you shouldn't admit your mistake, right?"
Generally speaking, the word "Master" is used to address Buddhist monks, and Jiang Lin didn't feel that there was anything about himself that could make the old man think of a monk.
"Ah? You are not a monk? How can this be..."
The old man rubbed his eyes, bravely looked at Jiang Lin's face, and then paused at his head, his expression becoming more and more confused.
"Are you... a fellow Buddhist or Taoist practitioner?"
"Ok?"
Jiang Lin frowned. Why did this old man insist on giving himself a Buddhist identity?
He intuitively sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped dwelling on the topic, and simply said, "I was traveling here and got lost, so I asked you, what is this place?"
"Of course it's the Little Leiyin Kingdom."
The father-in-law blurted out.
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. He knew Xiao Leiyin, but what about this Little Leiyin Kingdom?
He wanted to ask more, but did not continue. Obviously, more things were not something a mortal could know.
Jiang Lin changed the subject and pointed at the camel team and asked, "My father-in-law just mentioned offering sacrifices. Who are you offering sacrifices to?"
"This camel caravan is a gift to many families."
The old man said, "They are all for the major temples and monasteries."
Jiang Lin's expression changed, and he asked, "Then where is the nearest Taoist temple to this place?"
Obviously, the old man doesn't have any more information, so it would be better to find a Taoist temple to stay and then ask the practitioners there.
But Jiang Lin always had a feeling that this place seemed a little weird. How could he, a Taoist with a very good family background, be mistaken for a monk?
"Following the direction we are heading, about another 130 miles, we will reach Putuo Temple."
Putuo?
Which Taoist temple has this name?
Jiang Lin had more doubts in his mind, but he stopped asking questions and said goodbye and left the camel caravan.
With a move of his body, the distance between him and the ground shrank into an inch, and the power of heaven and earth responded accordingly. In just two short steps, Jiang Lin arrived at an oasis.
This oasis is about fifty miles in radius and looks like a town.
In this town, apart from some common people, the most central location is a Taoist temple.
Jiang Lin's figure appeared not far from the gate of the Taoist temple. Looking up, he saw three big words "Putuo Temple" written on it.
Putuo is obviously a Buddhist term, but it is used to name a Taoist temple, which is really strange.
The weird feeling in Jiang Lin's heart became stronger and stronger, until a person walked out of the Putuo Temple, which made the weird feeling in Jiang Lin's heart reach its peak.
I saw a man wearing a Taoist robe, who seemed to be a Taoist, walking out of the Putuo Temple.
The reason why I say "seem" is that although this cultivator is wearing a strict and formal Taoist robe, he has a big bald head.
On the head, six scars from the ordination ceremony are clearly visible...
