I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 219 The Secret of Longhu Mountain
After hearing what He Xiangu said, Wang Xuanfu was silent for a moment and slowly stood up.

His figure appeared particularly tall and thin in the dim candlelight, but he revealed a deep loneliness, as if he was carrying all the heaviness of the human world.

"Until now, there has been an extremely secret force that has been secretly destroying the barrier between the two worlds. Every time the rift expands, it will tear open a new wound in the human world.

“This destruction has caused the power of the gods in the upper realm to begin to infiltrate the human world. Perhaps it won’t be long before we have to face true demigods, or even gods descending to the human world, bringing irreversible devastating disasters.

"Compared to them, those demon lords we met before were just appetizers."

As Wang Xuanfu spoke, his eyes became more serious, with a hint of anger and helplessness.

The candlelight danced on his thin face, reflecting the hidden resentment and fatigue in his eyes.

"I have requested support from the upper world many times, but Yuxu Palace has repeatedly declined to help, claiming that they have more important battles going on. They are only willing to send a projection of the great god Nezha to help, and not even the real god himself."

As he spoke, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the endless years and see the dark clouds of the distant future.

He Xiangu's face became more solemn when she heard this. She pursed her lips coldly and said in a deep voice:
"If Yuxu Palace refuses to help, what about the other gods in the upper realms? Are they also standing by and watching the human world being exterminated?"

Wang Xuanfu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“I have sent letters of request for help to all major forces through secret methods, but have not received any response so far.

“If Yuxu Palace is unwilling to lend a hand, then it is conceivable that places like Tushita Palace, Martial God Temple, and Great Leiyin Temple will probably have different attitudes.

"Now it seems that in their eyes, the human world is just a corner on the chessboard, not a key battlefield, and not worth mentioning."

Perhaps because he was in front of a familiar friend, he did not completely hide his true thoughts, and frankly revealed a sense of powerlessness, and said in a somewhat bored tone:
"My seven clones, plus my original body, are scattered across battlefields in the human world. We rush around day and night to maintain the balance of power among all parties and try to bring the power of the human world together. My energy has long been exhausted.

"If I can't wait for the rescue from the upper realm, I will risk my reputation and go to the Heavenly Court to ask for an explanation..."

He Xiangu looked at his dejected expression and felt a little sad.

Although Wang Xuanfu's predecessor was the almighty Emperor Donghua, his status and position are no longer as high as before after his reincarnation. When facing such a huge catastrophe, he is just one of the many cultivators in the human world and cannot do it alone.

But what he carries on his shoulders is not only his own life and death, but also the fate of countless cultivators and mortals in the world.

When Wang Xuanfu came to this point, he suddenly shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about these exhausting and troublesome things anymore.

He forced a smile and said softly:
"...Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles for now. The fairy is injured, so you should rest for a while. After you recover, we can make long-term plans."

He Xiangu nodded without saying anything more.

The two have known each other for hundreds of years and have a tacit understanding. She knows very well that Emperor Donghua has a heavy burden on his shoulders and is full of resentment. She wants to help, but she is powerless. There is no point in saying more at this time.

She sighed softly, bowed to him and said goodbye, then walked out of Tianhai Temple with Li Qingyun.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Li Qingyun was preparing to bid farewell to He Xiangu and return to Longhu Mountain when he suddenly saw a thin and elegant figure vaguely appearing among the clouds.

He has bright eyes, white teeth, green hair and rosy face. Although he is not very old, his bearing is extraordinary and otherworldly, like an immortal who is not stained by a trace of dust. The whole person seems to be floating in the clouds, without a trace of worldly air.

Li Qingyun recognized at a glance that the person coming was the contemporary Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, Mr. Xu Jing Zhang Jixian.

He quickly clasped his fists and saluted respectfully:

"Disciple Gao Ren'an greets Grand Master!"

Zhang Tianshi looked at Li Qingyun and He Xiangu with a smile, his young face showing an extremely inconsistent sense of vicissitudes, and said slowly:
"Ren'an, the war in the East China Sea is intense. I can't get away. I have some things to tell Junior Brother Tian. Since you are going back to Longhu Mountain, please bring him a letter."

As he spoke, he took out a gleaming jade token from his bosom and handed it over. "This secret letter has a restriction and can only be read once, so you must hand it over to Junior Brother Tian in person."

Li Qingyun was slightly startled. He took the jade token, and when his hands touched the cold jade, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

As the master of Longhu Mountain, Xu Jing Tianshi would have no other means of communication if there was something important. Why did he entrust such a secret to himself and set a restriction that he could only read it once, as if he was worried that others would peek in?

It seems that the content of this letter is most likely related to me.

Has his identity been revealed?

Li Qingyun was a little confused, but he didn't take it too seriously.

With his abilities at this moment, plus the help of the two great demon lords in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, even if Mr. Xu Jing took action personally, he might not be able to stop him easily.

Moreover, Zhang Tianshi spoke calmly and without any hostility, so Li Qingyun temporarily suppressed his doubts and said loudly:
"I will follow the instructions of my Grand Master."

Zhang Tianshi nodded slightly, then took out a small silver flying sword from his sleeve. The sword body was gleaming with light and wrapped with exquisite golden talismans. He handed the flying sword to Li Qingyun and said with a smile:

"This is our first meeting. Since you call me Grand Master, I cannot treat you unfairly. This 'Star Chaser' flying sword is not a top-notch magic weapon, but as a flying magic weapon, it is quite fast. You are going back to Longhu Mountain, so I will give it to you as a gift."

Li Qingyun thanked him and said goodbye to He Xiangu. He got on the "Star Chaser" and turned into a ray of silver light, flying towards Longhu Mountain.

Seeing Li Qingyun walking away and He Xiangu leaving, the smile on Xu Jing Tianshi's face gradually faded, revealing a deep and ambiguous expression.

Two figures slowly emerged from the clouds - Donghua Emperor Wang Xuanfu and Xiyi Patriarch Chen Tuan, both of them stared silently in the direction where Li Qingyun disappeared.

After a while, Wang Xuanfu sighed softly:
"Mr. Xu Jing, you have always been good at fortune-telling. What do you think of this new junior?"

Mr. Xujing Zhang Jixian shook his childish head and said:

"His fate is flawless, as clear as a mirror, without any intention of covering up or pretending. But because of this, it seems a little unreal. I want to ask, how can there be someone in this world whose fate is so clean and flawless?"

The old master Chen Tuan was beside him, and said with a smile:

"Since Tianshi Zhang still has doubts, why do we need to simply entrust him with the secret of Longhu Mountain's thousand-year inheritance?" Tianshi Xu Jing smiled with a hint of cunning, as if he were a child who was relaxed and at ease with his favorite toy.

“I may be suspicious, but in my opinion, this kid is either really gifted and blessed, or there is a big shot behind the scenes who is covering up the secret. In either case, he is the best candidate to complete this plan.

"The world is now full of twists and turns, demons are rampant, and dangers are lurking everywhere. Instead of sitting here in anxiety and waiting for death, it is better to give it a try."

Wang Xuanfu pondered for a moment, frowning slightly:

"What the Heavenly Master said makes sense, but this child has not yet cultivated into a Yang God, and has not yet reached the realm of immortal earthly gods. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to rashly hand over this responsibility to him?"

Zhang Tianshi sighed when he heard this, with a look of helplessness and determination in his eyes:
"We have to make decisions in a hurry. We can't wait for him to break through to the Yang God level. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we have no other choice. Besides, he is the future Taoist of Longhu Mountain. Sooner or later, he will know this secret. Perhaps, he can accomplish the unfinished work of the Heavenly Masters of all generations for us.

"Even if he fails, it's just a training experience for him. At most he will get seriously ill and need to recuperate for two to three years. His life won't be in danger."

……

Li Qingyun stepped on the flying sword and crossed the sea of ​​clouds. White clouds surrounded him, making him look like an immortal.

The sunlight penetrated through layers of clouds and mist, refracting colorful light, making his figure look like a dream.

His robes rustled, his long hair flew in the wind, and he looked like a banished immortal from this world.

The "Star Chasing" flying sword bestowed by Mr. Xu Jing is not only extremely fast, but also extremely stable when traveling, as if walking on flat ground.

However, Li Qingyun's eyes were slightly fixed at this moment, gazing into the distance at the East China Sea, but his inner thoughts were not calmed down by the beautiful scenery.

Between the vast sea and the sky, dark cracks in the space are looming, like shocking wounds, emitting a cold and strange breath, as if devouring all life in the world.

His heart sank, knowing full well that the disaster that the human world was about to face was no match for that of ordinary demons.

Facing this unknown powerful enemy, even though he had been blessed by the gods and his cultivation progress was rapid, he still felt that he was far from being able to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyun slowly sat cross-legged, stroked the stone tablet of heavenly book in his arms, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his mind into the "Buzhou Divine Mountain" in his body.

In an instant, an ancient and complex rune appeared between his eyebrows, flickering with golden light. The stone tablet of the heavenly book slowly turned into a stream of light and quietly merged into the center of his eyebrows.

At that moment, Li Qingyun felt a sudden surge of huge waves in his mind, and an endless sea of ​​stars exploded in his sea of ​​consciousness. The surging and vast power poured into his consciousness, expanding his sea of ​​​​consciousness and pushing his vision to an unprecedented height.

In this clear and spotless sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, he could clearly see the mountains, rivers, and lakes thousands of miles away, feel the pulsation of every trace of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and even see the water droplets in the clouds.

As the power of the Heavenly Book was absorbed, the Buzhou Sacred Mountain seemed to be stimulated by something and began to vibrate slightly, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for ten thousand years and was slowly waking up.

The ancient and desolate mountain was now emitting endless purple air like an awakened god. It rolled like a tide, rushing along Li Qingyun's meridians and cleansing his limbs and bones.

As this majestic purple energy flowed, a grand volume of martial arts emerged in Li Qingyun's consciousness. Every word was as precious as gold, every sentence was as precious as jade, and it was majestic and natural, containing the secrets of the creation of the world.

"The Great Primordial Mixed Origin Technique is a method passed down from Mount Buzhou. A practitioner who has mastered it can break through the Primordial Mixed Origin realm of martial arts and become a Taiyi Sanxian, living as long as the four seas, free from dust and dirt."

This is the sixth level of martial arts bestowed by the Buzhou Divine Mountain. It encompasses the Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the cultivation of both the inside and the outside. If practiced to the extreme, one can achieve the sixth level of martial arts, "Hunyuan".

Li Qingyun read it carefully and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the mysterious and profound nature of this technique.

However, he did not rush to practice. Instead, he moved his mind and activated the "performance" supernatural power in the mysterious palace. He combined the "Taishang Hunyuan Gong" bestowed by the heavenly book with his own "Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong" and "Da Zizai Tianxian Jue" and began to deduce a supreme skill suitable for himself.

With the sacrifice of a large amount of qi and blood, the "Taishang Hunyuan Gong" in the sea of ​​consciousness turned into colorful runes, flying in the eternal gray fog in the mysterious palace, interweaving with the Taoist patterns of the heavenly book to form a mysterious scroll.

After a moment, the scroll gradually condensed into a brand new technique, emitting a wild and ancient aura, as if it came from the ancient times.

"At the beginning of the universe, all things came into being. The universe is infinite and encompasses everything. This method can be called the 'Hongmeng Daojing'!"

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 145,700 Souls]...

This "Hongmeng Daojing" is the method to the sixth realm "Golden Immortal Realm" in the path to immortality. Currently, only the first half of it is available. It can only be fully explained after it is integrated with the Taoist Yangshen method. It takes "Tao" as the root and "God" as the basis, integrates martial arts and Taoist internal skills, and combines the Hunyuan physique and the Yangshen into one, eventually achieving an incredible state of perfection.

Li Qingyun concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, carefully reading every word in the martial arts method, and faintly felt the breath of ancient times surging in his heart.

He deeply felt that the mysteries of the first volume of "Hongmeng Daojing" were far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivation methods.

This is not only a method of cultivating the body and true energy, but also a concrete manifestation of the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

If one can succeed in cultivation, one will be able to understand the origin of heaven and earth, comprehend the infinite mysteries of nature, and reach the state of "hun yuan" - this state is not just about integrating one's own qi, blood and true qi with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but about taking oneself as the center and integrating all the surrounding vital energy, spiritual energy and even the power of yin and yang and the five elements into one, truly achieving "all-encompassing".

"The Hongmeng Daojing is indeed extraordinary..."

Li Qingyun muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Without any hesitation, he immediately began to sacrifice his blood and energy, and activated his "Performing Method" magical power to integrate the "Hongmeng Daojing" into his own martial arts training, and began to practice it step by step, word by word.

This set of skills contains profound meanings in subtle words, and every word is as heavy as a mountain, seemingly containing countless changes; every sentence of the skills seems to carry infinite spirituality, constantly resonating with the meridians and blood in his body, making him feel as if he is sometimes in the clouds, and sometimes as if he is sinking into the abyss.

Just comprehending the skills consumed a lot of energy and blood.
