Chapter 22: Bloody Sea of Bitterness Under the World Tree, chaos hangs down, and clouds and mists flow, as if the World Tree is breathing. There was the sound of chanting, and it seemed like the sound of sacrifice from ancient times, singing in Lu Zhou's body. His internal organs were glowing, as if there were two huge suns hanging high in the sky, illuminating the entire world. Inside that huge sun, there were two gods who were identical to Lu Zhou sitting cross-legged, comprehending and interpreting the boundless wonderful Dharma. There is a rhythm of Tao flowing around Lu Zhou. His body is as clear as crystal, flawless and spotless. Behind him, there was a vast ocean of blood and energy rising into the sky, like blood-colored dragons roaring in the sky. If he was not in the Qiankun Pearl, such a movement would surely alarm some cultivators nearby and attract them to come and see who this fellow Taoist was who had such a powerful blood energy. Suddenly, Lu Zhou opened his eyes, and divine light burst out from his eyes like two thunderbolts.
He stood up, and as he raised his hands and feet, divine power surged. At this moment, he felt stronger than ever before. He looked inward at his own sea of consciousness and saw that the small golden lake had grown several times larger. His spiritual consciousness continued to explore downwards. In both his heart and spleen spiritual storages, there was a god as big as the sun sitting in the Taoist palace, chanting scriptures for them. The heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, fire creates earth, and Lu Zhou is practicing in his own Taoist secret realm according to the five elements. Five green lotus seeds that could enhance his divine power only allowed him to break through from the first level of the Dao Palace to the second level. However, Lu Zhou was very satisfied with the result. He knew very well that this was due to the transformation of his physical body. Just like those king bodies, divine bodies, and holy bodies, the stronger the physique, the more resources needed for cultivation will be consumed. And their combat power will become stronger, and they will be more down-to-earth in each realm compared to other cultivators! Most of the medicinal power of these five green lotus seeds was used by Lu Zhou to rebuild his wheel sea after his physical transformation. His consciousness continued to move downward, passing through the five internal organs and palaces, and soon he saw his sea of suffering. His Sea of Bitterness was originally dark green in color and only the size of a palm. But now, his sea of suffering was red, the waves seemed to reach the sky, and endless blood-colored essence was steaming, just like a sea of blood. The spring in the center of the sea of blood also expanded a lot as his sea of suffering expanded. It was emitting rays of light all the time, cleansing Lu Zhou's body, flushing his wheel of life, supplying him with divine energy, and nourishing his body. In just two and a half months, Lu Zhou has grown taller. Although his face still looks a little childish, about twelve or thirteen years old, his height and physique are that of an adult man no matter how you look at it. He stood under the World Tree, and through the misty chaotic fog, one could see his slender body and his head held high like a dragon. After seven complete transformations, Lu Zhou has completely separated himself from the ordinary people in terms of physique, divine power and consciousness. Having never fought before, Lu Zhou didn't know whether he could compete with some cultivators of the same level who had physical or blood power. But Lu Zhou was born with a strong personality and had expressed some expectations for this matter.
He stayed in the Qiankun Pearl for another day, both to accompany his little girl and to relax his nerves after practicing. A day later, he took out the Qiankun Pearl, and Yuhong returned to the source city again. It was only a few dozen miles away, and Lu Zhou arrived in almost an instant. After entering Yuancheng, he did not wander around the city. He asked some monks in Yuancheng about the location of Pingyan City. Lu Zhou remembered that Pingyan City was only about six hundred miles away from Shizhai where Master Zhang Wu was. The Northern Territory is too big. Small sects like the Qingxia Sect and the Lihuo Sect are merely the lowest-level forces in the Northern Territory. Looking at the vast Northern Territory, they are just a drop in the ocean. Lu Zhou thought it would be more reliable for him to inquire about the location of Pingyan City, which has a history of thousands of years and a permanent population of about 300,000. No matter what, since Pingyan City can afford to open some gambling stone shops, it is likely that there should be some cultivators from the Northern Territory who know where Pingyan City is. Sure enough, it didn't take him much effort to find out the location of Pingyan City. After figuring out the route, Lu Zhou didn't linger in Yuancheng. After leaving Yuancheng, he flew straight to Pingyan City. When he arrived in Pingyan City, he was able to sign in here again. Without saying anything, Lu Zhou immediately signed in silently. [Ding! The host has successfully signed in to Pingyan City in the Northern Territory. The host has obtained a source, which has been stored in the host's Qiankun Pearl! ] One square source is approximately equal to three thousand three hundred kilograms of source. Lu Zhou piled these sources next to the World Tree and the Holy Spring Pool. Then, he just asked around and found out about Qingxia Sect. Then he prepared to go to Qingxia Gate and wait for something to happen. As a result, halfway through the journey, he encountered a group of bandits who were robbing a village. When encountering such a situation, Lu Zhou directly killed the group of bandits. The strongest among that group of bandits was only a Divine Bridge monk, so he was naturally no match for Lu Zhou. After just one encounter, they were suppressed by Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou returned the food they had robbed to the village. In addition, he also seized more than half a pound of food as his own spoils of war. Then, amidst the endless gratitude of the villagers, he suppressed the gang of bandits and left the village. After being about dozens of miles away from the village, Lu Zhou was too lazy to interrogate them. His vast spiritual consciousness instantly forced its way into the brains of those bandits and checked their memories. Soon, Lu Zhou found the information he was looking for. Chen Da Huzi is quite famous in this area. Many of these bandits have heard of him or even seen him in person. From this, Lu Zhou also learned the identity of Chen Da Huzi and several of his strongholds. After searching for this information, Lu Zhou directly killed this group of bandits. They were working for the Lihuo Sect and had done many evil things. They deserved to be put to death.
After killing them, Lu Zhou did not go to Qingxiamen. He identified the direction and went straight to one of Chen Da Huzi's strongholds. When Lu Zhou arrived, the stronghold was empty. Lu Zhou left decisively and headed straight for the next stronghold. On the way, he encountered another group of bandits. It’s still the same process. Suppress them with a slap, seize the spoils that you want, then force them to look through their memories to see if there is any information you want to know, and then send them to dust! This time, Lu Zhou was very lucky. A day ago, this group of bandits had met Chen Da Huzi and his group. Lu Zhou followed the trail based on those people's memories. Finally, half a day later, Lu Zhou caught up with Chen Da Huzi and his gang who were riding on dragon-scale horses at a stone fortress. The dragon-scale horses, with their green scales flashing, looked ferocious and fierce. Every one of Chen Da Huzi's men exuded ferocity and carried a smell of blood. When Lu Zhou arrived, he saw an old man in the stone village opening a bag of water and presenting it to Chen Da Huzi. Judging from the size, that bag of source must weigh several kilograms. Lu Zhou also saw that Big Beard Chen patted the old man on the shoulder and said. "Old Zhang, the quality of these sources is pretty good. You are lucky. I won't bother you this time. Remember, within a month, you must prepare at least another five kilograms of sources for me, otherwise..." "What else do you want?" It was Lu Zhou who suddenly appeared and interrupted him! Thanks to [20171026200849065] for the monthly ticket! Thanks to the boss [空|神] for the 100 points! (End of this chapter)
