In the secret realm of the Primitive Sword Grave, in Northern Heaven District, where Tai Su Ancestor Lord originally lived, two small figures were staring intently at a gleaming five-color talisman.
"Black, you said this talisman will be brightly lit for ten days, how is it that the boss is still not out? Whatever you have told me, you are not lying to me, right?”
"Fatty, have you become stupid due to eating too many Buddha treasures? Would a powerful figure with the status of Tai Su Ancestor Lord, lie to us? He did not say that Little Liang would be reborn immediately after his death. It is normal to have to wait for some time.”
"Oh, can't you make a decision regarding those magic treasures? Does it mean that I have to go hungry while waiting for the boss to be reborn?”
"You're only concerned about eating... eh? Haha, Little Liang!"
At this time, the five-color talisman suddenly burst into a dazzling blaze of color. Subsequently, a phantom like human figure gradually emerged. Looking at the shape of the body, who else could it be, except for Lyu Liang?
About an hour later, the light from talisman dispersed and turned into a pile of flying ash, in a twinkling of an eye. The form that was Lyu Liang, opened his eyes. Black jumped onto his shoulder and whispered excitedly: "Little Liang, welcome back!" After that, he returned the Interspatial Bracelet to him.
Fatty rushed into Lyu Liang's body in an instant. He shouted with joy, "The boss is alive again, and now I can eat normally and enjoy the hellfire!"
The newly resurrected Lyu Liang, with eyes as calm as still water, chuckled at Black and Fatty, "Thank you for your concern. I consider myself as one who has come back from the dead."
Later, Black explained to Lyu Liang that both Fatty and he had been waiting with the Interspatial Bracelet, for him here, with the help of the Fierce Chaotic Emperor. As for Fatty's identity, although Lyu Liang was surprised, he re-affirmed the fact that he had found a treasure.
As the Ghost Devil Head and Qi Storage Pearl had been integrated into Lyu Liang's soul, even though he died once before, after Lyu Liang's resurrection, these still reappeared in his soul. Seeing that all his magic treasures were still intact, his heart was really relieved.
"What are you going to do, go out now?" Black cocked his head and seemed to be waiting for Lyu Liang's instructions.
"No, the fight in the Kunlun Sect has given me much to think about. Especially the feeling of having died once; let me try to see what I can make out from the situation!" "The Spiritual Qi here is so thick that I intend to have a good understanding of it. How long will it take? I don't know. Ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years?" Lyu Liang meditated for a moment and said, "I don't know what has happened to Ying'er now. Did Ximen Xiayu manage to bring her out from the Ximen family safely? What I can do is to improve my strength as soon as possible. Improving my strength temporarily by relying on the Ghost Devil Head, is not the best solution."
The dreaded fight that took place had made Lyu Liang realize that his own strength was too weak! The reason why he was able to thwart the Kunlun Sect was largely due to Shui Ye's help. Whether it was the face mask, the Soul-raising Pill and Immortal Extermination Pill, all these played a vital role in the operation.
Lyu Liang's strength was not up to par after surviving the ordeal. The Kunlun Sect and Holy-Fist Palace, both enemies of Lyu Liang, were all like giants. The number of almighty immortals in these two sects, was enough to defeat Lyu Liang.
The Kunlun Sect suffered a loss as they had underestimated the enemy. Lyu Liang became famous after this battle. It would not be easy to live up to this reputation in the future. Therefore, it was imperative to improve his strength as soon as possible.
It would be easy to find Shangguan Ying, but how to avoid the attack of hostile forces, was a very serious problem. In the past, he could rely on the Life-returning Talisman and act accordingly, but now he really only had one life left, so he have to think twice before he did anything.
This battle was one that had given Lyu Liang a lot of insight, as well as all kinds of thoughts, like the breaking of the bottleneck. It was better to calm the mind and concentrate on cultivation, so that he could be promoted to the fairy immortal level as soon as possible. This would increase the possibility of victory in any battle.
Now that he had made up his mind, Lyu Liang did not hesitate any more. He stepped into the house of time and began to comprehend and cultivate like an ascetic monk. Fatty, hearing that he was doing his cultivation, also begged to be allowed in.
Five months later, Fatty came out of the house of time first. A year and a half later, Lyu Liang came out and the first sentence he uttered was, "At last, the Mysterious Meteorite Wood has been refined!"
Later, after a short rest, Lyu Liang returned to the house of time. This time he stayed for two years. Fatty seemed to be aware of the benefits of the house of time, so from time to time, he also went in and did his cultivation.
Time passed like water flowing in a river, and a hundred years passed in a flash.
During this period, Lyu Liang went in and out more than a dozen times. The length of time he stayed in was also getting longer and longer, from one and a half years at the beginning to five years, at the later stage.
When Lyu Liang came out a hundred years later, he had an irrepressible smile on his face. Black asked him what had happened. Lyu Liang laughed and said softly, "The Rebirth Move of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship has been fully completed. And this time, I can really feel the power of the law!"
Fatty had also changed dramatically in the past hundred years. Of course, his strength was unknown. His body size had nearly doubled and so with his food intake. In the past, eating a magic treasure of Void Return stage would make him sleep for several months, but now after eating one, after only a month, he woke up hungry again.
Lyu Liang had handed over all the responsibility of feeding Fatty to Black, and devoted himself to his cultivation.
One day after another two hundred years, Lyu Liang appeared outside the house of time without any prior warning. This time, his roar shook the sky, "I see!"
Lyu Liang then closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. A strong mass of Primordial Qi and Devil Qi appeared from above him at the same time. The whole sky and earth slowly grew dark, and the wind started whistling.
"Well? This is... Little Liang wants go through the ordeal! Fatty, move away!" Black was the first to discover the inner mystery. While running away, he reminded Fatty to do the same.
But to his surprise, Fatty's eyes lit up after hearing his words. Quickly, he disappeared into Lyu Liang's body. Finally, he secretly transmitted a voice message to Black, "I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Don't worry, both of us will not be harmed!"
At this time, out of one of the four natural ordeals, the wind ordeal had been activated. Originally, in the Land of Peach Source, birds chirped amidst the flowers and insects song could be heard in the willows. Now all these had disappeared, leaving only an endless raging of storm and sand.
Lyu Liang, like a stick of duckweed, was blown to the east and west by gusts of wind. These sandstorms emitted powerful pressures and blew on his body, which made his soul tingle from time to time. With time, the intensity of wind and sand became stronger and stronger, which had a strong impact on the lucidness of his mind.
An hour later, the sky became clear, but it lasted less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, before it became red again. This time, an endless innate fire was there to welcome Lyu Liang.
With the fire ordeal, Lyu Liang seemed to be in a hot hell. He seemed to see his body reduced to ashes. If the soul bed did not have a trace of lucidness, he would have been annihilated by the raging fire.
"Is this the fire ordeal? It's not much milder than the torment of the Original Sin Hellfire!" Another an hour later, the fire ordeal disappeared and the second trial passed.
He thought it would be water ordeal next, but it turned out that both water and thunder ordeals were coming at the same time! Lyu Liang watched the thunder radiating strong pressures and the endless rage waves impacting his soul. He felt helpless, but at the same time, he could only cope with it with all his strength.
The water ordeal, the same as the wind ordeal, was a test of the tenacity of his soul, and it was only a matter of time before he could get through it. But the thunder ordeal was different. Nine thunderbolts fell and hit Lyu Liang directly. If it hadn't been for the Heaven Devil Body-refining Skill resisting it, he would have been torn apart.
"Boss, how can you directly resist it? Use the magic treasures and the field of Sword Tao!!" Fatty's anxious voice reached Lyu Liang's soul.
Lyu Liang patted his head and the Celadon Jade Seal was released. This directly activated its complete state to resist the attack of the second wave of thunder and lightning.
The number of thunder ordeal is nine multiples of nine. Every nine bolts was considered a round. Generally, there were at least seven rounds and at most, nine rounds. It was rumored that, the more the number of rounds one went through, after becoming a fairy immortal, the stronger one's basic strength would be. Lyu Liang was aware of this and he was also ready to meet the nine thunderbolts.
After the fifth round of thunder ordeal, Lyu Liang simply released the field to assist Celadon Jade Seal for his defense. At this time, Feiling Sword and Blood-bone Sword were still the main axes in the field of Sword Tao, but it emitted a dead aura. In terms of power, it should be much stronger than before.
As a result, the pressure Lyu Liang was facing was further reduced, and the sixth round of thunder ordeal took lesser effort for him to survive safely. At this point, the water ordeal seemed to be on time, but it eventually disappeared.
Before Lyu Liang could catch his breath, there was a sudden muffled sound in the sky, followed by several silver lightning bolts. Its aura had reached the level of fairy immortal.
Lyu Liang's eyes were fixed, knowing that this was the last test. He concentrated the field of Sword Tao, and played a diamond-cut-diamond trick with the thunder ordeal.
After nine thunderbolts in the seventh round, Lyu Liang passed safely, but his face showed the strains of the ordeal. More than half of his field of Sword Tao had been basically destroyed.
In the past, Lyu Liang always relied on his Primordial Qi to activate the field. After the current round of the thunder ordeal, he immediately activated Devil Immortal Qi and exerted a more powerful field.
The eighth round was still silver lightning. But compared with the previous round, it was at least twice as intense, and the power was naturally elevated. But the power of Lyu Liang's field of Sword Tao had also increased. A confrontation ended with a third loss in the field.
Next came the expected ninth round. But the only unexpected change was that there was black lightning, instead of silver lightning.
At this time, Lyu Liang's field of Sword Tao had been completely restored. However, after two black lightning bolts attack, half of it had already been used up!
"Is it devil thunder? Is it related to Little Liang's half-devil body?" In the distance, Black had hidden himself in the space cracks, but he still monitored Lyu Liang's every move closely.
Lyu Liang took a breath of cold air and activated the Devil Immortal Qi to the extreme. Within his heart, he was struggling. "Aren't you ruining my field? Should I continue to activate the field and see you destroying it, or should I build it quickly?"
Unfortunately, it was only a beautiful wish on Lyu Liang's part, and the reality was cruel. Every time a black lightning stroke fell, it was stronger than the previous one. By the time the eighth lightning bolt fell, Lyu Liang's field had been completely destroyed.
Looking at the ninth round that was about to erupt, which should also be the last black lightning, Lyu Liang gave a shout of anger, and directly activated the complete state of Ghost Devil Head, as well as the complete state of Celadon Jade Seal. He made every effort to activate the field of Sword Tao to continue to fight against the thunder.
There was a loud noise and a deep pit appeared where Lyu Liang was standing. After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Lyu Liang, in ragged clothes and with bleeding lips, crawled out from inside. His eyes were shining, but there was not a trace of excitement in it for having overcome the crisis, but his face was more dignified.
At this time, the sky was still emitting thunder and the thunder ordeal did not seem to be ending yet. As expected, a few moments later, a colorful and huge lightning suddenly condensed in the sky, and it sent out a horror strike that made Lyu Liang desperate.
When Lyu Liang was somewhat at a loss, a strange girl's voice sounded from his soul, "Silly boy, don't you possess the essence of the Purple Electrical Gold? You have the body of thunder and lightning! Isn't it just the weapon to be used to resist this fairy thunder?"
