Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods
Chapter 235 Congratulations to Master Zhenjun on Guizang Mountain, the Golden Wing Dao evolves into
Chapter 235 Congratulations to Master Zhenjun on Guizang Mountain, the Golden Wing Dao evolves into a true spirit!
“You have two choices. Either you seal your own magic power and let me set restrictions on you, and you will be slaves from now on. Or you can die here, and I will give you a quick death, so that your souls will be scattered and you will no longer suffer.”
Above the East China Sea, those Jindan Grandmasters and Jindan True Immortals were not all dead, or Huang Longzi intentionally left them behind. After all, the Northern Sect’s Demonic Sect would need these high-level cultivators who could be used at will in order to expand its power.
Among the remaining cultivators, there was a Jindan Zhenren who was proud of his escape method. In an instant, his body turned into a rainbow and fled far away. However, even Lu Cheng only saw a flash of sword light, and a flying sword with a swimming blue dragon attached to the sword body directly cut down the Jindan Zhenren. The sword light twisted, and even his soul was strangled and killed.
The fifth-grade superior natal flying sword, the Panlong Sword.
After doing this, Huang Longzi did not say a word, as if the person he had just killed was not a local master or a Jindan Zhenren.
After a while, a Jindan master couldn’t stand the pressure anymore and chose to seal his own magic power, and stepped forward to let Huang Longzi set up the restriction.
Even if all the magic power of a Jindan cultivator is sealed, he can still use part of his spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to prevent himself from falling into the sea. However, it is impossible to resist or escape with such magic power.
Since ancient times, preventing others from achieving enlightenment has been the greatest hatred among cultivators. It will be difficult for the dozen or so high-level cultivators present here to have the opportunity to improve their magic power in the future. It is a great blessing for them to be able to spend the rest of their lives in peace.
On the contrary, among these people’s disciples, the two girls, Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun, flew to Lu Cheng happily amid the surprised and disbelieving gazes of their fellow disciples, and saluted to Huang Longzi to show their position.
Lu Cheng also bowed to the master, and then said: “Master, these two female fairies have abandoned evil and turned to good, and have helped me a lot in the past few days. Please allow me to take them in.”
“Well, you can handle this matter yourself.”
At this moment, Mingyu Alliance leader Li Yingtian had no idea what was happening. He stared at Rong Jiaoer with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could eat her alive.
Fortunately, Xuanting Sword Sect’s Zhuang Kangbo had already died in the fight just now, otherwise when he saw Zhou Qingyun and thought of Zhuang Bufan’s death, he would probably be even more ashamed and angry.
After subduing those high-level monks, the group quickly returned to Guizang Mountain. At the same time, under the influence of the heavenly secrets, the entire Tongxuan Realm gradually knew the result of the battle in the East China Sea:
Taoist Huang Longzi, a giant of the Western Regions’ magic world, shattered his golden elixir and successfully cultivated his Nascent Soul.
There is still a road ahead of the Tao in this world.
“Disciple, I pay my respects to the Grandmaster!”
“Congratulations to the Grandmaster for achieving the great path of the Nascent Soul. You will have the same lifespan as the sun and the moon, and will be immortal as the heaven and earth. From now on, you will have great freedom, great ease, and great bliss!”
On the Guizang Mountain, although the Heavenly Palace had been destroyed and the gates were opened, thousands of monks from the Northern Sect gathered there to celebrate and congratulate the founder on his 4,000th birthday.
Taking into account the period of transformation and cultivation, ancient Taoist texts record that a Yuanying Zhenjun can live for up to 4,000 years. This is just like wishing an old man in the mortal world a long life of 100 years. Most of the time it is a blessing.
“Well, good, good, good! The reason why I can achieve what I have today is also the result of the concerted efforts of the entire sect. I wish that our Northern Sect will prosper forever.”
“May our Northern Sect’s lineage prosper forever!”
Initiated by Patriarch Huang Longzi, many disciples of the Northern School naturally responded and followed.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
He laughed long and long again, and then Taoist Huang Longzi waved his sleeves, and the entire world within a hundred miles around the Guizang Mountain as the center turned into dark gold in an instant.
Then, it seemed as if endless bits of golden sand fell from the dark golden sky, and golden rain fell from the sky, which was magnificent and spectacular.
Standing at the top of Guizang Mountain, Madam Baoxiang and her two daughters closed their eyes and used their magic power to guide the golden sand that fell from the sky into their bodies.
I just felt that it was an extremely pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which nourished my body, repaired my meridians, replenished my magic power, and enhanced my cultivation.
The higher the cultivator stands on Guizang Mountain, the more benefits he will receive.
Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling’er were standing near Madam Baoxiang. At this moment, they absorbed the spiritual inspiration and felt that all their meridians were open and their magic power increased, which was comparable to several months of hard practice.
“After cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, one actually has such magical powers? With every move of his hands, he has created his own domain. I think if Master wanted to, he could even mold stones into spiritual stones. He can do it, but it’s not worth it.
The Yuanying Divine Power Domain forms a domain with itself as the center, affecting the changes of the surrounding heaven and earth. If a Jindan True Person can rely on the Jindan magic power to forcibly break through it, if an ordinary Jindan Grand Master faces this domain, it will be difficult to resist, or have special methods, or powerful magic weapons, so in most cases, no matter how many there are, it is useless. Even if it is a Jindan True Person, his own spiritual consciousness and magic power are far inferior to that of a Yuanying cultivator, and he is trapped in this cage of heaven and earth…”
Lu Cheng followed and stood behind Taoist Huang Longzi. He did not need nor covet that bit of spiritual energy.
But for the vast majority of cultivators in Guizang Mountain who have not yet cultivated to the Golden Core stage, this rain of golden sand is like a miracle. It is an almost unbelievable achievement of Taoism.
Taoist Huang Longzi returned to Guizang Mountain, and the situation was settled. From then on, there was one more Yuanying Zhenjun in the Tongxuan cultivation world to suppress the Western Regions.
However, Huang Longzi did not, as many people thought, launch a war as a giant of the magic world and spread his magic.
Quite the contrary, after Huang Longzi returned to the mountain, he issued several sect decrees, which were intended to purify the sect and standardize the sect’s style. He was extremely restrained and became more and more inclined towards the orthodox sect.
Of course, all the sects and forces that took hostile actions during Huang Longzi’s tribulation should be liquidated. The strength of the Northern Demon Sect has indeed increased significantly, but Huang Longzi has not shown greater ambitions.
The world fell silent in this situation, and more high-level cultivators focused their attention on cultivating the golden elixir and the Taoist methods of transforming the fetus into an infant.
After all, Huang Longzi has already proved that there is a way ahead. Although the calamity is difficult, it also brings endless hope to the cultivators in this world.
It was still the damaged Canglong Temple when I returned that day.
Huang Longzi sat in the main seat, and after his wife, daughter, and disciples arrived, he said:
“Old Nine, since ancient times, double happiness has always come. This time, you helped the master to survive the heavenly tribulation. You have made great contributions among so many disciples.
The most precious treasures in my life are my two daughters. I intend to marry them to you. Are you willing? “
Parents to enrich people.
After hearing what their master Huang Longzi said, except for Wu Lingjun who was happy for Lu Cheng, the other disciples finally let go of their worries.
If you dare to hesitate at this time, no matter how great your previous achievements are, you will become an enemy.
Lu Cheng did not dare to neglect it, and did not even dare to look at the blushing Xiao sisters. Instead, he immediately knelt down and said, “Thank you, Master, for your help.”
Two months later, Lu Cheng and the Xiao sisters got married in Guizang Mountain and announced it to the world in a grand ceremony.
Xue Yuzhen finally became a concubine, but she seemed quite happy. She was busy running around for the wedding and was desperately trying to be slack.
Madam Baoxiang and the Xiao sisters are both familiar to her. The Xiao sisters have pure personalities and are easy to get along with. In Xue Yuzhen’s opinion, they are of course good choices. What’s more, the father of the two mistresses is the only Yuanying Zhenjun in the world. He can be of great help to her husband, herself, and her daughter Yun Linger’s path.
………
In the blink of an eye, it was fourteen years later.
On the top of the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, a young Taoist priest was controlling a five-colored flying sword and fighting against a ray of golden light in the sky in an extremely fierce battle.
The golden light suddenly came and went, as fast as lightning. Only in the instant when the sharp edges collided did his figure stagnate for a moment.
Only then could one see that it was a gigantic golden-winged Peng bird.
Lu Cheng held the sword in his hand, and first, five colors of sword light, green, red, white, yellow and black, flew around his body, sometimes splitting and sometimes merging, sometimes carrying Lu Cheng’s figure wandering in the air, and sometimes turning into an unparalleled sharp invisible flying sword and interweaving with Dapeng’s sharp claws to produce countless sparks.
The sword performed the five elements and drew the vitality of heaven and earth. Every time he drew the sword, it seemed to condense all his magic power, so the sword energy and light were even more powerful in splitting the sky and the earth.
The mountain where the two were fighting was cut into pieces by the sword energy and golden light in a short period of time.
“Your swordsmanship is good, but unfortunately, it’s only good. I don’t even have one tenth of the magic power I had in my prime. If you’re struggling like this, what can you use to fight those old guys who are stronger than me?
Fight with all your strength? Everyone fights with all their strength. Every time the world is destroyed, there are always people fighting with all their strength. It just makes it more interesting for us to eat.
I won’t talk about other demon gods, but there is one among us called Xiangliu. According to you, when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he once bit a human cultivator to death and then cut his body into pieces and ate it!
The first generation Demon King, the Great Sun Golden Crow, once evolved ten suns across the sky and almost destroyed the entire world. He has reached what you humans call the Yuanshen realm, and has established a divine palace in the sun, making him immortal. You have practiced Taoism for one or two hundred years, so what can you use to fight against them?
The life span of a human cultivator is only a few thousand years at most, and the life span of an ordinary Yuanshen Great Demon is only tens of thousands of years… but the innate true spirit bloodline… the life span can exceed 100,000 years, or even longer, what can you use to fight?”
There was a cold red light flashing in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc. As its wings flapped, golden blades blew up like a violent storm, blowing and cutting Lu Cheng so hard that the magic power that protected his body almost dissipated.
“…Since the demon gods are so powerful, where are your ancestors? The cultivators in this world are indeed weak, but according to Taoist scriptures, many worlds where Taoism flourished had immortals teaching or even descending directly. I’m not saying that there are no innate true spirits in the upper realms, but it seems that they are far less prosperous than the human race, right?”
“scold!”
The golden-winged roc let out a long cry and flapped its wings to fly high. Its golden wings shone brightly in the sun. Lu Cheng followed closely behind, and the sword and he merged into the five elements. The sword energy was so sharp that it tore the sky and split the earth.
For a moment, the sword shadow and the roc shadow entangled with each other, Lu Cheng’s sword skills were unpredictable, and the golden-winged roc, with its huge size and amazing body power, repeatedly impacted and shook Lu Cheng’s sword light defense line. The two collided with each other with great power, and they almost never made mistakes in their moves, so there was a continuous deafening roar, and the mountains echoed with the contest between the innate true spirit and the human cultivator.
“Look, you’re anxious again. It was obviously you who started it, and you’re the one who’s angry.”
As the sword fight continued and time passed, a hint of fatigue flashed across Lu Cheng’s eyes, but his sword remained extremely firm, and every time he swung the sword, all his mind was focused.
The golden-winged Roc seemed to have sensed Lu Cheng’s tenacity, so its attack became more fierce. The rolling golden blade seemed to tear the sky and earth apart and completely devour Lu Cheng.
However, at this moment, a sword light suddenly flashed out. It was Lu Cheng who seized the opponent’s instantaneous flaw in the attack and turned defense into offense. The tip of the Five Elements Flying Sword pierced straight into the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc.
The golden-winged Roc dodged in surprise, and the sword light flashed, and several golden feathers floated in the air.
The fight between the two sides is still going on, neither side is willing to back down easily, and the fierce battle is still going on among the mountains.
“Hu…Hu…Okay, okay, your innate true spirit bloodline is precious. I surrender. I surrender.”
Lu Cheng lay breathlessly on the grass, and in the sky behind him, a handsome golden roc with slightly messy feathers appeared, and its entire body seemed to be cast from pure gold.
Such a being would probably be regarded as a god simply by appearing in the human world.
The golden light suddenly became brighter and then changed. A moment later, a woman slowly walked out of the forest.
She was extremely tall, and just standing there she exuded a natural majesty and extraordinaryness.
His face is heroic, and there seems to be thousands of troops hidden between his brows. His eyebrows are as sharp as knives, which evoke endless sharpness and heroism.
His eyes were deep and sparkling with a wild light, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world.
The sacrificial robe embroidered with gold thread fluttered in the wind, and the hem of the robe looked like rolling golden clouds.
A thin belt like dragon scales was tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist and showing a kind of cold beauty. Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and she wore a long skirt. When she walked, you could vaguely see her long legs that took up more than 60% of her upper and lower body.
Lu Cheng had seen it before. It was a sacrificial costume from ancient times. It might be quite in line with the aesthetic taste of the Golden-Winged Roc, so she took note of it and directly transformed it.
As for the thin dragon skin belt tied around her waist, there is no doubt that it is absolutely real dragon skin.
“Since you come in from time to time to entertain me, I’ll give you a suggestion. Go find the Golden Boat of Deliverance immediately. When the great catastrophe comes, find an opportunity to escape. You will definitely not be able to defeat them… Although we are fighting among ourselves and although we despise you, the gap in power accumulated over a long period of time makes it almost impossible for you to fight against us. You have no chance of winning.
Escape first, survive, and cultivate to the Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit. Only then may you have a chance.”
After adjusting its breath, the golden-winged Roc that transformed into a human form came to Lu Cheng’s side. At this time, his red lips slightly raised, with a hint of contempt and disdain.
Her name is Jin Ling. During the past fourteen years, Lu Cheng has been practicing Taoism in Guizang Mountain, nurturing the true fire, and reviving the bloodline of the ancient fire dragon.
When he wanted to find someone to fight with swords, he would enter the Jiuli Ding and fight with the Golden-Winged Roc, feeling the pressure. After a few rounds, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Although Jin Ling was arrogant, she knew that both sides had a common enemy, and Lu Cheng’s swordsmanship talent was worthy of her respect.
“Give me back my feathers.”
As he spoke, Jin Ling lightly kicked Lu Cheng.
Although it was called a light kick, the power of this kick was actually enough to kick through a Jindan Zhenren cultivator. Even Lu Cheng was kicked so hard that a burst of golden light dispersed around his body, revealing many poisonous golden silkworm Gu. Then the golden silkworm Gu condensed and turned back into the shape of Lu Cheng.
“You have so many feathers, what’s wrong with giving me a few?”
Lu Cheng had no choice but to hand over the golden feathers that he had secretly hidden before. These golden feathers were purer and brighter than the fine gold leaves, and exuded a sharp and fierce aura. If he could take them out and hand them over to a fifth-level refiner who was good at this, it would be easy to use them to refine a top-grade magic weapon.
“I won’t give you even half a stick.”
Jin Ling seemed a little annoyed when she heard this, and her beautiful face turned slightly red. Lu Cheng just thought it was the bird monster’s love for its feathers, and did not continue to force it.
“Jin Ling, last time you said that this star region has seven other worlds besides our two worlds of Chiyang and Qingming?”
“Well, originally there were nine worlds. The Chiyang and Qingming worlds were destroyed because of the war between the two worlds. Your Tongxuan world is a fragment of the Chiyang world back then. Shengyang and his men still have many such fragments. But as long as you escape from this world and go to other big worlds, Shengyang and his men will not start a conflict with the powerful sects of those big worlds for one or two Jindan and Yuanying. You may be right. In these big worlds, most of them are occupied by you human cultivators.
Although the life span of human cultivators is short and their magic power is low, their cultivation and improvement speed is too fast. Ordinary monsters may cultivate for thousands of years, but they can be killed by a cultivator of your race who has cultivated for 10 to 20 years. The way of heaven is indeed to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency. “
“…”
Lu Cheng looked at the Jiuli Ding world and the extremely clean and pure sky. Although he felt a little unwilling, he knew rationally that Jin Ling was right.
The thousand-year catastrophe is just an approximate number. The demon god will cleanse a world in about one thousand to several thousand years. In the Tongxuan Realm, that day may be one or two thousand years later, or it may be in the next moment. The feeling of having a sharp sword against the throat is definitely not pleasant.
Of course, after the appearance of the first Yuanying Zhenjun, according to common sense, the second and third Yuanying Zhenjun would appear in succession in the Tongxuan Realm within a short period of time.
For this reason, those demon gods might deliberately delay the extermination of Tongxuan Realm. After all, at their current level, the innate Qi of ordinary Lian Gang and Jindan cultivators is too little and too complicated. They are conceited that they have absolute power, and they also need to devour more Yuanying Zhenjun to trace back their own ancient bloodline.
Early in the morning, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, inside a house, a red light first flew out from Lu Cheng’s body, circled in the air, and then fell back onto the Taoist’s body.
After a while, his consciousness returned to its place, Lu Cheng woke up, stretched his body comfortably, and sat up.
“Husband, are you awake?”
At this moment, a warm and fragrant scent suddenly approached from behind. Lu Cheng turned his head and saw Xiao Yuxue with a cute and childish face.
Following their parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words, fourteen years ago, the Xiao sisters obeyed their father’s orders and married Lu Cheng together. Over the past fourteen years, the couple have lived in harmony and close relationship.
After all, they knew each other before they got married, and Xiao Yuxue and Lu Cheng even had some emotional entanglements.
However, Huang Longzi and his wife interrupted the event because they put their spiritual practice first.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng cultivated a first-grade golden elixir, and also tried his best to make great contributions during Huang Longzi’s tribulation, and the marriage was finally settled.
Normally, a cultivator with the aptitude to practice Taoism would not break through the pure yang and pure yin at these two nodes before building the foundation and refining the golden elixir.
But Lu Cheng cultivated a first-grade golden elixir, and his magic power was extremely refined and pure. Huang Longzi also saw this, so he betrothed his two daughters to him.
After the wedding, Madam Baoxiang bestowed upon her another secret method of dual cultivation. Needless to say, this was the method that Huang Longzi had used to help Madam cultivate into a top-grade golden elixir.
With the qualifications of the two sisters Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue, it is not completely impossible for them to force their way through the first or second grade golden elixir, but it is too dangerous. It would be better for them to focus on cultivating the essence of the world and set their sights directly on the third grade golden elixir, which would greatly reduce the danger and increase their chances of success.
Sometimes, cultivators should not be too demanding about the appearance of the elixir. Even if the quality of the elixir is lower, there are still hundreds of arts to make up for it, and the final achievement may not be bad. In any case, it is better than dying at the stage of cultivating the golden elixir.
At this step, Xue Yuzhen made the right bet again. Lu Cheng obtained a new secret method, and of course he would practice dual cultivation with her. He already had the Taiyi Tiandun Yinyang Miaosuan method, and now he has obtained the Taoist methods collected by Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang. Over the past fourteen years, Xue Yuzhen’s Taoism and magical powers have advanced by leaps and bounds, and her Taoist foundation has been constantly improving.
“Yuxue, you should sleep for a while. I will go to see Master.”
“Ah.”
Xiao Yuxue obediently lay down again, and Lu Cheng tucked her in. Then Lu Cheng performed a spell to remove the filth, changed into a Taoist robe, and went to the Canglong Temple to pay respect to his master.
In the past fourteen years, Lu Cheng almost became Huang Longzi’s only true disciple. There was no other way, because the second senior sister Wu Lingjun had not yet refined the golden elixir and could not listen to Yuanying Zhenjun’s teachings. Needless to say, the only one who could listen to the teachings was the eldest senior brother Yuwen Zheng.
Taoist Huang Longzi was angry that he did not contribute during the last catastrophe and had been very cold and reprimanding towards him over the years.
It is not wrong that senior brother Yuwen Zheng wants to suppress Zhiguan Mountain, and at the same time it is also to contain the Southern Sect. But in Huang Longzi’s opinion, even in Yuwen Zheng’s eyes, the safety of his master is not as important as your family business?
If the Southern Sect really wants to take action, can you stop it with your lowly skills?
The eldest disciple who had been trained for hundreds of years was of no use. Instead, it was the ninth disciple sent by the second disciple Chi Shen Zi who fought desperately to protect him and saved him from the disaster.
Master Huang Longzi and senior brother Yuwen Zheng actually both had their reasons, so nothing really happened. It’s just that Yuwen Zheng’s cold treatment for a hundred years is inevitable.
As he walked slowly, Lu Cheng had already arrived at the Canglong Temple. The newly built Ten Thousand Beasts Palace was even more grand and majestic, like a palace in heaven.
Taoist Huang Longzi is a very conceited person. Although he practices Taoism and cultivates the Dharma, he emphasizes thinking and empirical evidence, and takes induction as a secondary factor. He abandons all Taoist precepts and rules. Even so, he still cultivates to the realm of the first Yuanying Zhenjun in Tongxuan Realm, which shows his talent.
