Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 221: Satisfy my nature and replenish my energy (Please subscribe!)
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the extremely powerful Chiyang Realm went to war with the Qingming Realm.

That horrific war between Taoism and magic, that terrible world-destroying catastrophe swept across both worlds, and almost all the Nascent Soul and Yuanshen realm cultivators from both worlds were involved in it. That battle caused the earth to sink, the sea to dry up, and the sky to collapse.

Almost all life in the two worlds was exterminated and civilizations were destroyed, but the powerful force also broke the boundary between the two worlds, causing the heaven and earth to return to a state of chaos. When chaos opened again tens of thousands of years later, the clear air rose and the turbid air fell between heaven and earth. The innate Qi, also known as Taiyi Yuanqi, resided in it, allowing all living things to practice Taoism.

There is no restriction on spiritual root qualifications, everyone can practice Taoism, but the same is true for the demon race.

In the first war between humans and demons, twelve demon fairies defeated all the enemies and stood out. From then on, this world became the forbidden territory of the demon fairies.

They would stage a world-destroying catastrophe every once in a while and devour the human race that had been born during this period of time. Because of their innate qi and Taiyi energy, everyone could practice Taoism, that is, everyone was a cultivator, so they devoured millions of humans and greatly replenished their bodies and spirits.

But after all, for cultivators who have cultivated to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stage, the innate energy in their bodies is even more refined, and they can even assist demons and immortals to trace back and activate the source blood in their bodies.

Therefore, these beings will even bestow the Tao after each destruction of the world and restart human civilization, over and over again.

Countless years have passed, and the twelve demon fairies of that time have increased and decreased, turning into twenty-four demon gods to rule this world. After long years of cultivation and continuous devouring of the innate energy, they have become extremely powerful and almost eternal.

Even the human spirit cultivators from other realms had to call themselves the emperors when facing these twenty-four demon gods, and dared not act rashly...

Even though these demon gods have been indulging in pleasure and fighting each other, and have not made any progress for many years, they have infinite lifespans and deep accumulation of wisdom. Which spiritual cultivator with the hope of ascending to heaven would be willing to provoke these beings?

The Tongxuan Realm has experienced thousands of years of development, with the Dongyang Orthodox Sect being the largest sect in the world and the orthodox Demon Sect. It controls the Heavenly Demon Palace, which is almost a world of its own, with countless elders of the Demon Sect living freely and enjoying immortality. The number of Jindan masters living in the Heavenly Demon Palace is equal to the number of Jindan masters from other sects in the world, who collect beauties, gold beads and other toys from all over the world, and enjoy endless pleasure in their own Demon Palace, forgetting about immortality.

There are about five hundred Jindan masters living in the Heavenly Demon Palace alone, followed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, which takes a shortcut in cultivation, with about two hundred people. However, this sect is divided into two branches, the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect. There are more than one hundred masters in the Southern Sect and seventy or eighty masters in the Northern Sect. Among them are some idle clouds and wild cranes, who deal with things in the sect without obeying orders or announcements, and immerse themselves in Taoism.

Next are the eight greatest Taoist leaders. There are nearly one hundred and eighty Jindan masters in the sect, but most of them are devoted to practicing Taoism and work hard. The average level of their Taoist practice is far superior to that of the magic practitioners, and they are the leaders of the major sects of the righteous way.

Once again, at Beichen Sword Sect, the competition within the sect was fierce, and coupled with the rapid advancement of magic skills, there were seventy or eighty grandmasters in the sect, all of whom were experienced sword practitioners. However, there were constant internal strife within the sect, but they dominated the north with their absolute powerful strength, and followed the lead of Dongyang Orthodox Sect.

Cangjian Palace is a relatively new sect among the eight orthodox religions in Middle-earth. It takes it as its mission to use swords to sharpen the swords and uphold righteousness. There are more than forty masters in the sect, all of them are brave and sharp.

Then there are the Taoist and demonic sects supported by top masters, such as the Gushen Sect and Huoyun Mansion. There are also sects with more people and power, such as the Xiantian Sect and the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea, and sects that are almost secluded from the world, such as the Tianhe Orthodox Sect in the Western Regions and Guanghan Palace.

There are roughly 1,200 to 1,400 Jindan Grandmasters in the entire Tongxuan Realm, including independent cultivators.

Because among all the Jindan Zhenren cultivators in the world, Huang Longzi Zhenren, who ranks in the top five, is about to go through the fourth of the forty-nine tribulations.

Sword masters from all over the world compete with each other, and many cultivators rise up together.

The first grade of inner elixir is the best, and the ninth grade is the worst, so the first to third grades are the best, and are called the Golden Elixir Avenue.

The fourth to sixth grades are the middle grade of the elixir, and the seventh to ninth grades are the lower grade of the elixir. The difference between the inner elixir and the upper grade is that the mana that can be activated is also different. Therefore, it is also called the lead and mercury elixir by Taoists, which means that it is not refined to be pure.

Zhenren Huang Longzi is one of the few cultivators in the world who has achieved the first-class alchemy. He has been practicing for nearly eight hundred years. In recent years, he will have to overcome the forty-nine tribulations that no one has successfully overcome in a thousand years. If he succeeds, Zhenren Huang Longzi will be the number one person in this profound world through the ages.

From then on, you will embark on the path to the Nascent Soul, attain a lifespan of a thousand years, be close to immortality, and obtain the Dharma of Great Freedom!

In the Western Regions, inside the White Bone Cave, there was singing and laughter.

A group of evil cultivators hunted down many fresh wild boars, pheasants, black bears and yellow musk deer in the deep mountains, slaughtered them on the spot, and offered their blood and fresh meat to the guests.

Especially Master Xuehe and many disciples brought by Master Lin of the Netherworld Sword Sect, surrounded by a group of evil cultivators and flattered by them, were drunk and happy, and felt that these years were the happiest years in their lives.

In particular, many young and beautiful female cultivators of evil sects would expose their breasts and backs on their own initiative, and take the opportunity of toasting to flirt with them and exchange glances. As long as they were willing to teach them a few simple spells, they would have sexual intercourse with them, or even become a couple.

Although these disciples who were able to be brought up by Xuehe and Lin Luocai certainly had no shortage of cauldrons and furnaces in their respective sects.

But if you get tired of domestic flowers, wild flowers have a different flavor.

A group of low-level evil cultivators were having a wild and chaotic time outside the cave, holding an unobstructed Dharma assembly.

True Man Xuehe, Lin Luocai, Bai Xiyu, the two evil Wen family members, and Xiu Yunxian, the landlord of this place, did not try to discipline them.

There aren't so many rules in the evil sects. Many people practice Taoism not for the purpose of ascending to heaven, but for thousands of years of leisurely time in the human world.

"Madam, is the Divine Lord still in seclusion?"

Bai Xiyu held a wine glass and asked Xiang Xiuyunxian.

In the past few years, many cultivators have gathered in the Palace of the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Madam Baoxiang has also called upon her friends, including many of her acquaintances accumulated over the years, to bolster their presence.

But if just having more people is useful, then why would everyone practice Taoism?

The Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace has a large number of people, but no one can match He Tianyan.

Some time ago, a red-haired old ancestor who was conceited about his magical powers came to seek advice with a divine earth and fire sand cover, and indeed defeated several masters in the White Bone Cave.

As a result, Lord He used his sword to break the Earth Fire Divine Sand Shield and cut off half of his body. He was so shameless that he came to ask for it back. He Tianyan respected him as his former teacher and returned that half of his body. The red-haired ancestor then reattached it.

But after this incident, the red-haired ancestor vowed to withdraw from this fight. As long as He Tianyan was alive, he would never come out of the ghost cave in the dark wind.

This was a classic battle. Over the past few days, He Tianyan had led the cultivators of the White Bone Cave Mansion and defeated the Northern Sect cultivators several times. No one could stop him with just one man and one sword. The Northern Sect cultivators were frightened and their morale was low.

Practicing Taoism does not mean you will gain extraordinary magical powers just by practicing for long enough years. Huang Longzi and He Tianyan both achieved top-grade elixirs in their time. The Yinshan Zhenren of the Gushen Sect and the ancestor of the Huoyun Mansion, Chi Shenzi, can be said to be the ones who supported a top sect by themselves and have maintained their reputation for hundreds of years.

This kind of accomplishment cannot be accumulated over time.

The three elements of heaven, earth and man build the foundation, condense the evil spirit and temper the true form, and make the elixir into nine turns. Each step will produce a huge gap. The vast majority of cultivators in the world do not have enough talent and talent.

"My husband calculated and deduced that the divine revelation had not yet arrived, so he had to practice meditation and stay in the best condition to face Huang Longzi.

What's more, the monks from the Three Immortal Islands and the Soul-Calming Valley in the East Sea have already arrived, and you harmed the Xu family's daughter-in-law a few days ago. Even if my husband is in seclusion, we are enough to deal with Baoxiang and the others."

When Xiu Yunxian talked about that incident, Bai Xiyu, Xuehe Zhenren and others all showed lewd smiles on their faces.

The Xu family of Taihuang County is a famous family of independent cultivators. The new bride of their family is a close friend of Madam Baoxiang, and she came to help this time.

As a result, after several rounds of fighting, Bai Xiyu took the opportunity to knock him out with smoke and brought him back to the White Bone Cave, where he was raped and tortured by everyone until he died.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the female fairies on Madam Baoxiang's side, so they remained quiet for some time.

“I’m afraid someone from the Xu family will come and demand justice.”

Bai Xiyu smiled and said something in a neither light nor light tone.

"There are no outstanding people in the Xu family of Taihuang County. It's fine for them to swallow their anger on this matter. If they dare to come, we will kill the entire Xu family and divide the spiritual objects equally among everyone." Xiu Yunxian said with a chuckle, causing all the old demons present to laugh strangely.

"I'm hungry today, let's go find some blood food to eat."

Just at this time, Lin Luo stood up and spoke with a cold face.

"Mr. Lin, please go." Xiu Yunxian nodded.

Everyone present knew that Lin Luocai was not hungry himself, but the Netherworld Sword he was carrying was hungry.

This evil sword drinks human blood every day. When the flying sword screams with hunger, even if it is a disciple of the Nether Sword Sect, Lin Luocai will kill them without hesitation.

However, his magical power has reached the seventh level of Golden Core, and the killing power of the Netherworld Killing Sword is even more astonishing. Even if he is surrounded by Madam Baoxiang and her people, they probably won't be able to kill him.

So Xiu Yunxian let him go. This was the Western Regions, and she wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pain no matter how many people he killed.

"We will go with Elder Lin."

At this time, the two evil Wen clan members from Beimang Mountain also stood up and said so.

The two evil men of the Wen family in Beimang Mountain have a shallow foundation in Taoism, and this time they followed a group of evil cultivators here, hoping to learn some advanced magic formulas from the evil cultivators of major sects such as Xuehe Zhenren and He Tianyan.

After spending several years together, the two evil men of the Wen family discovered that compared to the arrogant and contemptuous Master He, and Master Xuehe who smiled at everyone, it was the cold-faced Sword Master Lin Luo of the Netherworld Sword Sect who was easier to talk to.

At least after working for him, he is really willing to share some of the benefits.

Three beams of light escaped from the White Bone Cave one after another and flew towards a large city in the Western Regions.

"How many people were killed this time?"

"Why remember these? Just kill until you are satisfied. Master Lin, this time we brothers sent disciples to find seven young men and women born in Yin years, Yin months, Yin days and Yin hours for you to nourish your sword energy. Don't forget us brothers after your sword energy is fully developed."

"Okay." Lin Luocai said this sparingly.

The two vicious Wen family members from Beimang Mountain were born as independent cultivators. They acted without any scruples, and killing people to make treasures was just a common thing for them. What they formed was the elixir of lead and mercury, so they did not have to worry about the forty-nine calamities. They were only thinking about establishing a sect and becoming the founder. It would be best if the sect could prosper and be passed down from generation to generation, so that their brothers' souls would have a place to go when they pass through the calamities in the future.

There is such a precedent in the Tongxuan Realm. After several generations, the founding master of a sect returned to his own sect, practiced alchemy again, awakened his past life memories, and discovered that he was the founding master of this sect.

Therefore, Jindan Zhenren like Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen on the Great Desert Island in Dongji studied the method of transforming their own souls. They wanted to transfer their souls completely to a new body before they were unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and before their life ended, and continue their journey for another 800 years.

As for the cultivators who formed the lead and mercury elixir, most of them established their own sects, hoping to follow the more ethereal and indescribable path of Qi circulation and catastrophe.

However, the three of them have not yet flown to the big city in the Western Regions.

On the way, he ran into a young Taoist in the Lian Gang realm.

"Well, this young man has a very pure and upright aura, and he has obviously inherited the true teachings of Taoism. If we were not short of blood food right now, refining him into our Ten Thousand Corpses Divine Sand would definitely increase its power!"

Wen Fangyi, the eldest of the two evil Wen family members, said this.

In fact, it's not that there is no shortage of blood food, but the cultivators from the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea and the Soul-Calming Valley have arrived in recent days. These two factions of cultivators, one is domineering and the other is fierce, both are anomalies among the orthodox religions. Although the evil cultivators in the White Bone Cave are not afraid, they don't want to do something that would cut off their own arms and attack each other at this critical juncture.

Lord He had already warned everyone about this in advance, and the two evil men of the Wen family did not dare to disobey.

At this time, most of the monks flying freely in the sky were true disciples of the two sects.

"..."

Lin Luocai said nothing, but was the first to escape, which obviously meant the same thing.

However, at this time.

The young Taoist who had just passed by the three people turned around and flew back.

"You three, are you Elder Lin from the Nether Sword Sect, and the two fierce brothers of the Wen Clan from Beimang Mountain?"

Lu Cheng was not surprised that he was not recognized. When he traveled around the world in his early years, he often used various magic spells to conceal his face.

Lin Qingyue, who was Lu Cheng's lover back then, would not have been able to recognize him from his face if she had not been familiar with his eyes.

As his magical power gradually increased over the years, the Hundred Transformations of Demonic Form was gradually no longer used. However, the portraits circulated by the outside world were still a bit messy. Some of them were the appearances that Lu Cheng had transformed into using the Hundred Transformations of Demonic Form in his early years.

"It is Elder Lin and our brothers. What do you want, young friend?"

Wen Fangshan, the younger brother of the two evil Wen family members, said this.

At this moment, he thought that the two sects were going to join forces with the White Bone Cave, so he bowed in return. However, he looked so hideous, and had several strings of white bone beads around his neck, so no matter how much he bowed, his form and spirit were gone.

"Great! No wonder the hexagram said it would be beneficial to go to the southeast. I thought I had to go to the White Bone Cave."

The young Taoist said this very happily.

Seeing this, the three people from Baigu Cave, including Lin Luocai, thought that Lu Cheng wanted to discuss an alliance with them.

hum...

The Netherworld Sword that Lin Luocai was holding made a slight sound, and Lin Luocai gently comforted it, thinking that it was just hungry.

"Speaking of which, I still need to borrow something from the three Taoist friends."

"What is it? Tell me about it." Wen Fangshan felt that he had earned a lot during this period of time. If the other party did not ask for much, in order to jointly deal with Huang Longzi, he might as well let them take advantage. After all, it was paid by the White Bone Cave Mansion, and the biggest share would not fall on his side.

"It's nothing, but I'll borrow the heads of the three of you to replenish my energy. I want to merge Taoism and Demonism. Only by killing on behalf of the gods and realizing the ruthlessness of the gods can the four meridians return to one."

At that moment, the two evil men of the Wen clan thought they had heard it wrongly:
A cultivator at the peak of the Refining Gang realm came to kill three masters and wanted to borrow their heads. What's more, Elder Lin Luocai was a cultivator at the Golden Core True Person realm, one of the most powerful people in the world.

Clang.

Immediately afterwards, the two evil men of the Wen family heard the shocking sound of flying swords clashing.

A golden flying sword appeared in front of him at some point, and it was blocked by Lin Luocai's Netherworld Flying Sword. The swords were biting each other like wild beasts fighting.

"Sword Qi Lei Yin! You are that Lu Cheng."

Lin Luo, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

But he had no time to say a second word, because the flying sword's sword light was already constantly killing at him, continuously and sharply, and the sword power and speed had reached a level that a normal cultivator in the Refining Gang Realm could never achieve. This was no longer a matter of swordsmanship.

"Burning Blood Demonic Art? What's wrong with this person!?"

Lin Luocai has a very good relationship with Master Xuehe. The Xuehe Sect also has similar skills, but burning blood and marrow will greatly damage one's lifespan. Under normal circumstances, no one would take the initiative to use such means unless they risked their lives.

Lin Luocai didn't know about the saying that the sword returns to the dead and reincarnates after death. It's hard to say whether Xuehe Zhenren knew about it. Xuehe Taoism was derived from the fragments of Blood God Son, but it may not be more than what Lu Cheng realized.

Lu Cheng practiced Blood God Son and was able to control life and death with ease, using this as the key to unlock the treasures of Taoism. The fragments and chapters he obtained from traveling to many places of both sects were far more than the inheritance of the Blood River Sect.

However, the Xuehe Sect is conservative and has been using blood magic that is full of ways of harming others for personal gain and sucking their marrow out of their bones. It is getting further and further away from the orthodox Blood God Sect.

"Junior is seeking death!"

At this time, the two evil Wen family members had also reacted and let out sharp roars of extreme shame and anger. The elder brother Wen Fangyi sacrificed a scarlet gourd, from which billowing red sand gushed out.

This piece of red sand was like a plague of locusts, covering the four people.

Lu Cheng noticed that there were many undecayed human and animal bones in the red sand, and he immediately recognized what kind of magic weapon it was:
The magical sand of ten thousand corpses!

A widely circulated unconventional magic weapon. The sand contains a vicious corpse poison that can burn into ghost fire. The ghost fire hides resentful souls and evil spirits. These resentful souls and evil spirits will create all kinds of illusions and affect the people trapped in the magic sand, making them share the same fate as themselves in the end.

The more corpses that are integrated, the greater the power of the Ten Thousand Corpse Divine Sand. But it will also harm the harmony of heaven and earth, so few old demons from the major sects refine this treasure, fearing that the 49th calamity will be aggravated. However, those unorthodox cultivators who have refined lead and mercury fake pills are unscrupulous and do not have more advanced and powerful magic formulas, so they often secretly sacrifice and refine this magic weapon.

His younger brother Wen Fangshan took out a powerful crossbow, pulled the trigger and shot at Lu Cheng. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, twelve smoky and poisonous arrows flew out in succession.

This is another powerful unconventional magical weapon, named the Flying Crossbow of a Hundred Poisons Smoke and Mist. It is a crossbow made from various poisonous grasses, poisonous miasma and evil insects combined with the essence of five metals, and then refined thousands of times with the monk's own magic power. It can be fired and retracted like a flying sword, and can control twelve of them at the same time, making it more useful than ordinary flying swords. It contains a highly poisonous substance, and after it is fired, if the enemy uses a flying sword to block it, the spiritual light will be contaminated by it. If it touches a little bit, the poison will immediately attack the heart and die. Even without being really hurt by it, the monks with insufficient magic power cannot withstand it just by a glance.

With just these two unconventional magical instruments, it is no wonder that the two evil Wen family members can associate with a group of Jindan real people. Ordinary Jindan masters are probably no match for them.

He has no taboos and dares to practice any evil method and refine any magical weapon. If such a cultivator does not die sooner or later, he will become a formidable demon.

If it were any other time, Lu Cheng would be interested in fighting with them to see whether these two unconventional magical weapons were more powerful or his own swordsmanship was more refined.

But he didn't have the time at this moment. Lu Cheng had an idea and with a wave of his sleeve, large pieces of golden clouds emerged and spread in all directions. They not only blocked the twelve poisonous smoke arrows, but also supported the ten thousand corpses sand that kept falling from the sky.

The Golden Silkworm Gu, known as the most evil Gu in the world, is called the King of Gu. It is extremely poisonous and flies as fast as lightning. All poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders and centipedes are no match for it. After being cultivated by the secret methods of monks, it cannot be harmed by water, fire or fire, and can withstand all kinds of flying swords and knives in the world.

Therefore, although Lu Cheng and Lin Luocai fought with swords in a flash, the evil weapons of the two evil men of the Wen family could not break the golden cloud.

On the contrary, the golden silkworm Gu eats everything except vegetarian food. It started to tear and gnaw wildly at the Wen family's two evil spirits' Ten Thousand Corpses Divine Sand and Smoke and Mist Poison Arrows, and soon, it destroyed the two people's years of hard work.

"Fool, why is the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu called the Hundred Poisons?"

Seeing that the two evil men of the Wen family were so ineffective, Lin Luocai was so angry that he cursed them with his spiritual consciousness.

The two evil Wen family members finally reacted. One took back the magic sand, and the other took back the smoke and mist poison arrows. Many golden silkworm Gu were still greedy and chased after them, refusing to let go.

The two powerful magic weapons of the two evil Wens were broken. Although they used other magic weapons in time, their power was greatly reduced compared to those two.

And if Lin Luocai could defeat Lu Cheng, who was connected with his life blood and fire, why would he scold the Wen brothers at this time?

As soon as the two sides started fighting with swords, Lin Luocai clearly felt that the sword power and speed of the young man in front of him were already equal to his own, but the precision of his sword moves and the skill of sword manipulation were beyond his reach.

Lu Cheng's golden flying sword turned into thousands of sword shadows, interweaving into a golden sword net, which wrapped Lin Luocai tightly. Lin Luocai was horrified to find that he could not break free, and the sword circle was suppressed and became smaller and smaller.

In a hurry, seeing that the two evil Wen family members were useless, Lin Luo pinched his left hand and secretly shot out a Six Thieves Soul-Chasing Needle through the sword net.
