Chapter 161 Dream Back
Long before he descended into this world, Lin Yi had already perfected all his magical power seals, but he forcibly suppressed his true energy to prevent it from turning into tribulation fire.
However, now, affected by the Dream Returning Immortal Technique, he is plagued by illusions, which is like a thunderbolt striking the earth, and he is out of control.
All around Lin Yi appeared a myriad of phenomena, transforming into a world entirely composed of calamity fire.
As time goes by, the world will inevitably head towards chaos and destruction.
Lin Yi silently endured it; as one layer of tribulation fire was extinguished, another layer of tribulation fire was born.
After the three illuminations and three destructions, Lin Yi opened his mouth and spat out his true energy and magical power, which transformed into a galaxy and flew directly into the heavens.
Countless stars in the Milky Way instantly covered the entire Divine Tree Forest, turning the clear daytime sky into a midnight starry sky. However, the starlight was too dazzling, with each star shining brightly, emitting light that was either seven-colored, five-colored, blazing white, crimson, or azure.
Lin Yi has survived three tribulations and is now able to advance to the fourth rank, cultivating low-grade immortal energy.
He suppressed his thoughts and put away the starry sky.
Whether it's advancing to the fourth tier or continuing to challenge the subsequent tribulations, the time is not yet ripe.
"I never expected that I would suddenly provoke the flames of tribulation at this time. It seems that the legend that the flames of tribulation are difficult to tame and impossible to control is indeed true. Even with my firm Dao heart, I was still given a fright."
"However, after this ordeal, I have gained confidence. I can safely pass through the seven layers of tribulation fire with my own magic power. But it's hard to say about the layers above the seven layers of tribulation fire. High-grade immortal energy is not my goal."
"I need to get the Water Spirit Pearl as soon as possible, and then start repairing the Qiankun Bracelet. Only in this way can I break through the Nine Tribulation Flames without any mistakes and finally refine the top-grade immortal energy."
Lin Yi had worked hard for many years, seeking only to attain immortality and enlightenment, so he was naturally unwilling to take the risk of this ordeal.
If he were to force his way through to a higher level of tribulation, he would either be unable to advance any further or lose all his cultivation. He still needed to take the safer path.
Lin Yi silently observed the changes in his own magical power. After passing through three tribulations, all the true energy and magical power in his body transformed into a dazzling galaxy.
Driven by Lin Yi's thoughts, any streak of starlight that falls from this galaxy becomes a world-shaking spell, and it can also be transformed at will, arranged into various grand formations.
At Lin Yi's current stage, each tribulation is a new level of enlightenment; the more tribulations he overcomes, the more benefits he will receive.
If a cultivator feels they can no longer hold on, they will automatically advance to the fourth rank. At this point, the cultivator can do as they please, depending entirely on their devotion and perseverance.
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes. The brilliant starry river in his dantian returned to its original state and transformed into a Wuji Golden Core that floated in the chaos. All the strange phenomena disappeared completely, leaving only a pit tens of meters wide in the original place.
Beside the deep pit, Lin Qing'er, Zhao Ling'er, and the old woman, Saintess, all stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
It wasn't until Lin Yi emerged from that state that he seemed to wake from a dream.
Lin Qing'er had exhausted too much of her magical power, and her face was pale, making her look very weak.
Lin Yi took out a jade bottle and handed it over, saying, "I have a kind of pill here that restores magic power. It works very well. Please accept it, Your Majesty. This matter was an accident. Please forgive me."
Lin Qing'er shook her head slightly, about to refuse, when she heard Zhao Ling'er say, "The Daoist's pills are very powerful, Mother, please accept them."
"Then thank you very much, Daoist Lin." Lin Qing'er said, taking the jade bottle from her hand, and continued, "After my magic power recovers, I will cast the Dream Returning Immortal Technique on you again."
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "No rush, Your Majesty the Witch Queen, please rest and recuperate."
………………
On the other side, ever since Li Xiaoyao met Lin Yi in Shu Mountain, he has often thought of his aunt. In addition, the Drunken Sword Immortal has disappeared, and he has no acquaintances in the vast Shu Mountain. His homesickness is growing stronger day by day.
On this day, Li Xiaoyao finally seized the opportunity, escaped down the mountain, and began his journey home.
With his natural wit and good luck, Li Xiaoyao finally arrived in Suzhou a little over a month later, where he met Lin Yueru, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, thus beginning a love story filled with entanglements and grudges, which is also a favorite among onlookers.
Alright, let's turn our attention to the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Sacred Tree Forest.
After nearly three months of recuperation, Lin Qing'er, dressed in a red cloak, holding the Heavenly Serpent Staff in her left hand and a multicolored, shimmering bead in her right, was fully armed and ready for battle.
Lin Yi sat in a chair with his eyes slightly closed, seemingly half asleep and half awake.
Within his sea of consciousness, an eternal light shone, suppressing all changes.
This time, Lin Yi could not allow any more accidents to happen; the Dream Returning Immortal Technique had to be successfully executed.
Lin Qing'er gently touched Lin Yi's brow with her finger, and a familiar power appeared, causing ripples to spread through the calm space.
A dream spanning thousands of years, what year is it tonight?
Lin Yi awoke from his dream, the first thing he heard being a loud phoenix cry. Then he saw a golden light streak across the sky, flying away into the distance.
"Golden-Winged Phoenix." Lin Yi took a step forward and followed behind. Observing his own situation, he could sense a strange, faint power surrounding him.
On the ground, an old woman and a little girl are fleeing for their lives.
The old woman was dressed in brocade robes, short, fat and ugly, but her body was covered in wounds, yet she still struggled to protect the little girl.
The little girl, however, was as beautiful as a piece of jade, indescribably beautiful. Her bright eyes, which shone with a dazzling light, were now filled with innocent fear. She clung tightly to the old woman's neck, not daring to let go.
Several Miao soldiers dressed in black, wielding curved knives, and with fierce glints in their eyes, gave chase, their killing intent palpable.
Although the Golden-Winged Phoenix was fast, it was still somewhat lacking.
Seeing that the old man and the little girl were about to perish, Lin Yi flicked his finger, and a point of starlight flew out and instantly landed on the ground.
The sword energy suddenly erupted, and several Miao soldiers dodged.
Lin Yi's aim was to save people; he did not kill indiscriminately. He could sense that with this action, much of the strange power surrounding him immediately dissipated.
The golden-winged phoenix let out a cry that resounded through the sky, and landed on the ground with a gust of wind, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.
