I can gather experience beads

Yunzhou.

Qingling Xiuxian Market.

Cao Rui took the storage bag from Tianji Baby, which contained five thousand high-grade spirit stones and one hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

More than six months have passed.

Today is January 1st of the new year.

It's time to reap the income from the Lingyin Jade Pendant.

This year's Lingyin Jade Pendant, Lingyin Point income and Lingyin platform income reached a total of 60 million low-grade spirit stones.

However, Cao Rui had almost completely collected all the high-quality spirit stones in the Qingqiong Realm.

Therefore, 60 million low-grade spirit stones were only exchanged for about 5,000 high-grade spirit stones and 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

"Cao Rui, what happened to the curse on you?"

"Some of the monks who participated in the final battle and were cursed have already passed away." Baby Tianji looked at Cao Rui worriedly.

Among the monks who participated in the final battle, there was already a Jindan monk who died because his soul was completely eroded by the curse.

According to the current progress, all the Jindan cultivators participating in the final battle will die within a year.

Then the next step is to become a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Over the years, Tianji Baby has developed a relationship with Cao Rui that is both his teacher and friend, and he has already regarded Cao Rui as the most important person around him.

During the final battle, baby Tianji was not present.

Otherwise, it is not known whether his puppet body can avoid the blue hole curse.

Cao Rui said softly: "Don't worry, my curse has been suppressed to the maximum by the treasure."

"It can last for a long time." Cao Rui said.

Cao Rui, who owns the Lingyin platform, has a huge source of income, which undoubtedly becomes a strong backing for him to purchase treasures to delay the curse.

However, this approach is not a permanent solution.

After all, the spiritual treasures of the Qingqiong Realm will eventually be exhausted.

In addition, after participating in the final battle, nearly a hundred members of the Pure World were cursed, and Cao Rui could no longer monopolize all the treasures on the market.

Therefore, he has begun planning to use high-quality spirit stones to speed up his cultivation and make full preparations for ascending to the spiritual world.

In the past six months, Cao Rui has begun to prepare for various matters after he leaves the Qingqiong Realm.

He planned to hand over the Lingyin Jade Pendant to Tianji Baby for full management, with assistance from Zhang Mo and Qian Xiaotong.

The blue hole curse is bound to take away the vast majority of high-level cultivators in the Qingqiong Realm, and the landscape of the cultivation world in the future will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

All the monks who have been cursed have been frantically working to secure a future for their sects, families, and descendants during this period.

Take the Spirit Beast Sect for example. The large amount of elixirs and precious resources that Cao Rui had hoarded were all sent to the Spirit Beast Sect.

With these things as support, the Spirit Beast Sect will surely rise again and become the top sect in the Qingqiong Realm.

As for the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the situation is more complicated.

The supreme elder, Black Mountain Patriarch, was also cursed. With his cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, he would most likely die within ten years.

The leader of the alliance, Chen Fugui, was even Cao Rui's pseudonym. When Cao Rui ascended to the spiritual world, this pseudonym naturally became invalid.

Cao Rui has downplayed Chen Fugui's existence and asked Shi Shatian to prepare to take over the Loose Cultivator Alliance in full, but this matter is not that simple.

After all, the size of the Loose Cultivator Alliance is really too large, with more than 30 million cultivators!

There are too many strongholds of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Later on, family forces and small sects joined, which made the composition of the alliance more complicated. It was no longer composed of only independent cultivators as in the beginning.

Moreover, the number of cultivators joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance is still increasing.

In the future, such a large alliance will definitely be in trouble if there is no proper high-level organization.

But this is not something Cao Rui can control.

He now just hopes that everything will go smoothly before he ascends.

As for what happens in the future, it all depends on how future generations will solve it.

The Demon-Slaying Alliance and the World Purification Alliance have all disbanded following the defeat of the Blue Hole Demons.

The Qingqiong Immortal Cultivation World finally breathed a sigh of relief after losing the Blue Hole Demon Clan, which was a huge mountain pressing down on their heads.

The cultivators in the Qingqiong Immortal World are now quietly changing.

Immortal cultivators were no longer troubled by war. They began to explore the wider world and pursue more advanced knowledge of cultivation.

The entire world of immortal cultivation is filled with vitality that can be seen with the naked eye.

The originally barren place gradually became prosperous, and all kinds of exotic magical herbs and spiritual minerals emerged as the state capital exchanged what they had.

This not only provides more cultivation resources for immortal cultivators, but also brings more benefits to mortals.

The most eye-catching of these is the Lingyin platform.

Its appearance has greatly promoted information exchange in the world of immortal cultivation, making the speed of information transmission hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands times faster than before.

In such an environment, communication between immortal cultivators has become more convenient and frequent, and all kinds of novel immortal cultivation things have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

New elixir recipes are constantly being discovered, and these elixirs can enhance the strength of cultivators and prolong their lifespans; new refining techniques make magic weapons more powerful, helping cultivators to better cope with challenges; new cultivation concepts break traditional constraints and lead cultivators to a higher level of realm.

However, behind this vibrant scene, there is a group of people who have sacrificed themselves and are silently suffering.

Although Cao Rui and those cursed monks defeated the Blue Hole Demons, they themselves were tortured by the curse that they could not escape.

Their souls were gradually invaded and they could feel their lifespans slipping away.

Despite this, the monks who participated in the final battle did not regret their original choice.

They knew that without their sacrifice, the Qingqiong Realm might never be able to get rid of the shadow of the Blue Hole Demon Clan.

They exchanged their lives for the peace and prosperity of the Blue Sky Realm and became heroes of history.

Although they cannot see the future of the Qingqiong Realm with their own eyes, their achievements will be forever engraved in people's hearts.

Their story will be passed down forever in the Qingqiong Realm.

This day.

Cao Rui received the message from Situ Ling, and he was ready to be promoted to the God Transformation Realm.

Cao Rui rushed to the place where Situ Ling was promoted to the God Transformation Stage.

Situ Ling chose to advance to the God Transformation Stage on an island.

In addition to Cao Rui, there were two Nascent Soul peak cultivators from the Canglan Immortal Sect.

At this time, Situ Ling had made sufficient preparations.

After Cao Rui arrived at the scene, Situ Ling officially began to trigger the thunder tribulation.

The thunder tribulation during the Spirit Transformation Stage is extremely terrifying.

It was just a prelude, and a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, as if the entire sky was torn apart.

The crack was constantly emitting violent lightning energy, and being hit by one would definitely be uncomfortable.

Faced with such a terrifying thunder tribulation, Situ Ling did not dare to be careless at all. He flew up and directly sacrificed a shield-shaped spiritual weapon to protect his body.

A loud "boom" was heard, and a thick purple thunder fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed and with fierce momentum.

The power of this thunder was so strong that it made Situ Ling's body shake continuously, and he almost couldn't control the shield-shaped spiritual weapon in his hand.

After Situ Ling's face turned pale, the thunder gradually dissipated.

However, this thunder tribulation showed no sign of stopping, but continued to condense thunder and bombard it.

You know, there are a total of eighteen thunders in the thunder tribulation of the Spirit Transformation Stage!

Although Situ Ling's shield-shaped spiritual weapon was powerful, it could only hold out until the fourth thunderbolt. In the end, it could not bear the weight and exploded.

Then, Situ Ling quickly took out a long banner spiritual weapon, which was also a fourth-level spiritual weapon. Unfortunately, this spiritual weapon only supported five or six thunder tribulations before it broke.

Situ Ling took a deep breath and with a serious expression took out the remaining five spiritual weapons. These were the last resources of the Canglan Immortal Sect!

However, even with so much spiritual energy protecting his body, he was still one step behind.

By the time the thirteenth thunder tribulation came, all the spiritual weapons had been completely destroyed.

"I failed in the end..." At this moment, Situ Ling was covered in dust and his robe was torn. He sighed helplessly.

With the arrival of the fourteenth thunder tribulation, his magic power was exhausted and his body was injured, so he exploded in the thunder tribulation.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the originally cracked sky closed up again.

Situ Ling, who failed to pass the tribulation, didn't even leave any trace.

"Master!" Two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Canglan Immortal Sect cried out with grief on their faces.

Cao Rui shook his head slightly, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

However, through this observation, he had a clearer understanding of the specific power of the thunder tribulation.
