Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 225: Three Calamities, Nine Tribulations, and Ten Disasters, the Minor Three Calamities and Disasters Are All Arrived
To cultivate and attain immortality is an extraordinary way: to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and to invade the mysteries of the sun and the moon; after the elixir is made, even ghosts and gods cannot tolerate it.

Especially when Lu Cheng cultivated the inner elixir, he obtained the Daoist elixir in the Eight or Nine Caves, which was the first of its kind in this world. His elixir was of the highest quality and even above the first-grade golden elixir. However, if people in later generations of this world cultivated this elixir, it would still be the first-grade golden elixir. Therefore, the heavenly calamity and heavy calamity were about to come.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the young Taoist priest on the stone bed with long black hair and a golden-red light faintly shining through his pupils.

As the saying goes:
Cultivate a breath of Samadhi fire and develop an indestructible body of Vajra.

The innate magical power of the Qi training realm is the Qi sea, and the meridians are wider and tougher than those of the cultivators at the same level.

The innate supernatural power of the foundation-building realm is the true fire of the five elements and the earth. It proves that the five elements are like a wheel and can create all the laws of birth and death in the world.

The innate magical power of the Ningsha Liangang realm is the innate blood and fire, which can measure and evaluate oneself and is related to one's life.

Condense the Great Sun Divine Gang in the Liangang realm, ignite the Great Sun Divine Gang at the last moment of the Liangang realm, and obtain the Great Sun Divine Fire, the Sun's True Fire, one of the most fierce and domineering true fires in this world.

The upper limit of most cultivators is to condense this magical power at the Jindan realm. Condensing the Great Sun True Fire at the Jindan realm is enough to dominate the world, which is an extremely solid and unparalleled foundation for cultivation.

However, Lu Cheng sent down the Great Sun Divine Fire at the ancestral orifice of his heavenly palace, which connected the bridge between heaven and earth within his body. If anyone else dared to do this, they would surely die as their physical body would not be able to bear the burden.

However, Lu Cheng used all his energy, blood, and lifespan to block the attack at the Tanzhong point in the middle dantian, eliminating seven-tenths of the Great Sun Divine Fire.

The blood and fire fell and finally landed on the Qi Hai point in the lower Dantian. The powerful and blazing Five Elements Earth True Fire surged up, and the two fires of heaven and earth collided.

Finally, a round, shining pill was formed, on which emanated a true fire that was isolated from this world and belonged only to Lu Cheng himself, the Samadhi True Fire.

Sensing the birth and spread of this true fire, Lu Cheng felt that everything inside and outside was clear, and there was no place that he could not see through. His mind naturally recalled a classic sentence from his previous life:
"This monkey ate my elixir and used the Samadhi fire to forge it into a piece of solid material. It is solid inside and out, so it has a body of diamond and steel. It cannot be hurt even in a hurry."

"...I already have the Samadhi Fire, but where is the elixir?"

At this moment, the sound of muffled thunder rolled from outside the cave, resounding through the sky.

"Yes, the elixir of heaven and earth has arrived."

Lu Cheng waved his sleeves, and the gold and stone that blocked the cave suddenly turned into golden light flying all over the sky, and the poisonous golden silkworm Gu.

Outside the cave, dark clouds and minefields flashed, like ferocious dragons and snakes entangled and undulating.

Lu Cheng stepped into the void step by step and walked out of the cave.

Thunder is coming.

The sword comes out.

Clang.

Violent thunders were heard in the distant sky, and blue arcs of lightning suddenly appeared in the void. In the rolling dark clouds, arcs of electricity fell from the sky one after another. At first, they were only one by one, but in the blink of an eye, they became dense and poured down like a rainstorm.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

The five elements flying sword, blue flame slashed out.

Every time the sword and lightning collided, sparks filled the sky.

Thunder is the change of metal, fire overcomes metal, and although the thunder disaster falls like a downpour, Lu Cheng's swordsmanship has long been cultivated to the level where wind and rain cannot penetrate wherever the sword shines.

The manifestation of heavenly tribulation is usually in the form of thunder and lightning. The cultivators will be refined by it and transformed in their nature, form and spirit. Although it is a tribulation, it is also a transformation.

Using the blue flame to disperse the lightning that was striking from the sky, Lu Cheng only felt that the essence of heaven and earth was pouring into his body, making him feel light and relaxed.

It was like a long drought and then a rain. The body and even the soul were greatly nourished by this heavenly thunder energy. It was like the dry land was moistened.

Lu Cheng cultivates the Samadhi True Fire in his body, which contains heaven, earth, and man, essence, energy, and spirit, as well as the ruler, his subjects, and the people. When these three are combined, they can refine all matter, magic power, and spirit and integrate them into himself.

Therefore, at this moment, Lu Cheng fine-tuned the Samadhi True Fire in his body, and he could guide the heavenly thunder essence from the outside world into his body, so that it would return to its place, not more or less. More would be drawn into the Samadhi True Fire, and when needed, it would be turned around to replenish the whole body.

At the beginning, because they were still unskilled, some of the heavenly thunder essence leaked out and fell on the bodies of the poisonous golden silkworm Gu around them, making them, which had been dormant for two years, suddenly become energetic and their shells bright.

However, as he became more proficient in using the Samadhi True Fire, most of the heavenly thunder essence was absorbed by Lu Cheng.

The monk kept absorbing the thunder essence, like a giant who was extremely thirsty, bending over and drinking water in big gulps. Lu Cheng could even hear the thunder essence falling into his body and merging into various acupoints in his body, making a gurgling sound, just like the sound of cows and horses drinking water, with rippling in their abdomens.

It seemed that since following me, my soul and body have never been full, and have been consuming my innate vitality until today.

Lu Cheng knew that he was not the only one like this. Most people in the world were like this. After they were born, their innate nature was sealed and there was no growth. There was only consumption. Once it was used up, they would die. Only by practicing to the level he was at today could he replenish his innate nature and regenerate his destiny.

However, it seemed that the monk's arrogance made the people angry, or the world was disgusted by his behavior of devouring the heaven and the earth to enrich himself. Bolts of lightning struck down one after another, becoming more condensed and violent. At first, they were only as thick as a wrist, but gradually they became as big as buckets of water that fell and hit.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he took advantage of a gap to take back the Cang Yan Flying Sword that was restrained by the Five Elements and replaced it with the Water Sword Jinghong.

The water-based flying sword was restrained by the thunder tribulation, and it was like thunder striking the sea, spreading out in all directions. No matter what, Lu Cheng's water-based sword power could not be compared with the vast ocean with endless waves.

Therefore, the power of thunder and lightning was transmitted to Lu Cheng along the sword energy, colliding with the dark red and golden flame ripples on his body, forming a combination of thunder and fire.

Before, Cang Yan’s flying sword fought against the heavenly tribulation for nearly an hour.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng changed back to the Jinghong Flying Sword to fight the heavenly tribulation, and fought for nearly an hour.

Lu Cheng controlled the sword with his right hand and made a hand gesture at his dantian with his left hand. Drops of sweat flowed down his forehead and cheeks, but he looked happy.

The long sword in his hand pointed diagonally toward the sky, and ripple-like water-based energy continued to ripple and spread under the power of his sword. The spread and coverage of the water-based sword energy became wider and wider, and finally reached a terrifying area covering half of the mountain.

"I'm telling you, you can't kill me!"

The water sword's power reaches its extreme, and all waters return to the wasteland.

"Guixu" is the legendary bottomless abyss, where all waters converge. According to legend, above the earth and in the deep sea, everything in this world will eventually return to Guixu.

Lu Cheng read this legend in the Taoist Canon. During his hundred years of cultivation in the Jiuli world, he integrated his Water Sword Technique with the Hundong Technique of the Heaven-stealing and Spirit-transforming Great Technique into one, and displayed it at this moment.

His sword light seemed to turn into a chaotic hole, rushing backwards and reaching the sky.

In an instant, it was as if a black sun appeared in the sky, spreading its power in all directions and swallowing up everything.

But at the last moment, a lightning whip still fell and hit the Taoist's body below, knocking him high into the air and falling into the cave behind him.

"If you can avoid the thunderstorm, the fire from the sky will burn you.

This fire is not heavenly fire, nor is it ordinary fire. It is called "yin fire". It starts from the Yongquan acupoint of the body and goes straight through the Niyuan Palace. The five internal organs are reduced to ashes, and the limbs are all rotten. All the thousand years of hard work are in vain. "

In the cave where Lu Cheng was meditating and breaking through, nameless flames suddenly rose up and covered the area. The poisonous golden silkworm Gu all around instinctively wanted to fly in to protect their master when they saw the calamity coming.

But as soon as they got close, they felt the shells all over their bodies melting. They were all golden beetles, which were most suppressed by these flames, so they flew around in all directions but did not dare to get close at all, and their bodies and souls melted away.

Lu Cheng was hit by the thunder whip and fell into the cave. Suddenly he saw fire all around him. Regardless of the injury on his shoulder, he tried to escape from the fire cave.

But as soon as he stood up, he felt a sharp pain in the Yongquan point on his right foot. He didn't know when, but a Yin fire started burning in the Yongquan point and went straight through the Niyuan Palace, then to the left foot.

The pain was so severe that Lu Cheng was unable to circulate his magic power.

"Huh, huh."

“…My magic power cannot be activated, but my innate magical power is still there. Fire and fire are merging, but they still cannot kill me.” Lu Cheng has been rampant in the world until now, and what he relies on most is his strong and brave spirit.

When the fire calamity came, he was also panicked at first, but he soon killed his fear with years of practice and calmed down. He sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Samadhi True Fire throughout his body.

Gradually, the Yin Fire Tribulation Force that had invaded the body was suppressed by the Samadhi True Fire, causing the magic power to gradually begin to operate.

Lu Cheng's body was initially burning with flames, which then condensed into earth, and fire gave birth to earth. Finally, when the earth reached its peak, the Taoist who was sitting cross-legged in the flame cave seemed to gradually transform into a golden body from the inside out.

The raging fire tempers the golden body.

Lucheng had survived two disasters, one lightning disaster and the other a fire. The Lord of Bones in the Bones Cave had also sensed it.

Two years ago, the Taoist came with a sword and killed four people, defeating two.

The White Bone Cave Mansion was severely damaged, and its influence declined, but the White Bone God He Tianyan, who was the foundation of this force, was still there. In the past two years, the evil monk Shang Tian and the Banana Shadow Sword Luo Yinniang had joined one after another, and the two elders from Jiuhua Mountain had their influence increased again.

The reason why He Tianyan did not kill Lu Cheng back then was, on the one hand, because his sword was so fast and He Tianyan did not want to consume his energy to kill a junior.

On the other hand, he wanted to take over the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace again after Huang Longzi's death. It would be better for him to be the leader than to be a slave to others. By then, with some thought and means, he might be able to recruit talents like Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng to save face.

He had lived in the Heavenly Demon Palace for a long time, and he thought things like killing people, destroying sects, and looting disciples were common, so he didn't think Lu Cheng would refuse.

For two years, He Tianyan never attacked Guizang Mountain. It was not because he could not do it, but because he did not want to really meet Huang Longzi and fight to the death with him.

Although he had been praised and admired by everyone for many years, He Tianyan was well aware of his years of practice. In terms of cultivation, he was indeed not as good as Huang Longzi. If the two of them really faced each other, once Huang Longzi lost the chance to overcome the tribulation, he would definitely fight to the death to kill himself.

Therefore, He Tianyan has been leading a group of evil spirits to attack the mountain and harass Madam Baoxiang and her two daughters over the years. He Tianyan does not believe that Huang Longzi has no response in Guizang Mountain. Breaking the golden elixir and transforming the fetus into a primordial infant is such a big deal. With his mind constantly being tied up, it is impossible for Huang Longzi not to be affected.

but.

Lu Cheng and He Tianyan did not expect that Huang Longzi was not setting up formations to guard the gloomy Guizang Mountain, but went alone to the coast of the East China Sea, transformed into a crazy Taoist priest and walked the mortal world for many years to comprehend the Tao and the will of heaven.

On this day, the fetus transformed into an infant and the elixir became of top quality.

He Tianyan had been practicing for many years and had some feelings in his heart. In the White Bone Cave, he felt inexplicably panicked and uneasy.

At this time, Fairy Yunfeng Xiuyunxian walked in and said:
"My dear, thousands of miles to the south, the energy of heaven and earth is changing abnormally. From afar, it sounds quite powerful. Could it be that some rare treasure has appeared in the world?"

It was obvious that Xiu Yunxian wanted to go and take a look to fight for the treasure.

However, He Tianyan raised his palm to stop the other party from continuing to speak, and said decisively:
"I always feel uneasy. I am afraid that Huang Longzi will break through the barrier soon. From today on, we will attack the mountain with all our strength. I will not return until Guizang Mountain is conquered."

"Great! Brothers have been waiting for this day!"

Hearing this, Xiu Yunxian was also excited. Compared with the many treasures in Guizang Mountain, no matter what rare treasures appeared in the south, their value could not be compared with this.

"It's just... I don't know whether Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng is dead or not!"

Thinking of the final attack on Guizang Mountain, Xiu Yunxian was excited, but at the same time, she couldn't help but think of the young swordsman from two years ago.

His use of the Five Elements Sword is indeed exquisite and powerful!

"Whether he is dead or alive, he has lost a lot of energy after performing Blood Escape in front of me, so it is difficult for him to participate in today's battle. Even if he participates, with me here, are you still afraid that he will turn the tables?"

He Tianyan stepped forward and grabbed the slender waist of the beautiful Taoist nun. Xiu Yunxian struggled for a few times as if she wanted to resist, but finally allowed him to do so.

Fortunately, both of them remembered that they had important things to do, so Xiu Yunxian just stopped briefly and left the cave.

On that day, the White Bone Cave Mansion ordered the evil spirits to attack the mountain and not to retreat until they were defeated. At the same time, all the forces of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace and Xiaoshang River were mobilized to jointly resist this disaster.

During these years, the eldest brother Yuwen Zheng of the Northern Sect of the Demonic Sect returned several times and took action several times, but he had to return to Zhiguan Mountain to suppress the Southern Sect cultivators who were ready to make moves. For Guizang Mountain, it was already a gain to be able to suppress the entire Southern Sect's power with a Jindan Zhenren, and they could not ask for any more.

A few hours later.

At this time, the strange phenomenon outside the cave in the desolate mountain also reached its most intense moment. As time passed, the flames that originally enveloped the cave gradually disappeared, and the golden man in the cave gradually revealed his physical body. It was the Taoist Lu Cheng who had gone through countless thunder tribulations and Yin Fire Heart Tribulations and had a pale face.

"You can withstand the fire, and the wind will blow against you.

This wind is not the east, south, west, north wind, nor the warm, golden, and cold wind, nor the flower, willow, pine, and bamboo wind. It is called the "Bi wind". It blows from the fontanelle into the six internal organs, passes through the dantian, penetrates the nine orifices, and the bones and flesh are dissolved, and the body dissolves itself.

After experiencing lightning disasters and fires, Lu Cheng's body was at its most vulnerable yet most sensitive. At this moment, he felt wisps of wind blowing from all directions.

It's like a wind knife or a sword, which can scrape the flesh, destroy the Taoism, and end immortality.

"How could it be so difficult? This kind of tribulation is probably more than three times more severe than an ordinary tribulation, and every move is targeted and restrained."

Lu Cheng thought so in his heart, but he remained calm and prepared to deal with the changes in the robbery method and crack them one by one.

Just at this moment, two rays of light came from the east, broke through the clouds in the sky, and landed above the stone cave in the barren mountain shrouded in strange vision.

"Ok?"

"Brother, it is indeed here."

The two rays of light condensed, revealing two middle-aged monks in black robes with strange appearances.

One of them had extremely long eyebrows that hung down on both sides, and the other had a beard under his nose that hung down on both sides.

If it was just one person like this, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with these two people, Jiao is inseparable and Meng Meng is inseparable, and when they get together, they give people a howling feeling.

The one who spoke at this time was the black-robed monk with unusually long eyebrows.

"We brothers saw the strange phenomenon in this world and thought that a rare treasure had appeared! Looking at this aura, it seems that someone is cultivating the inner elixir!"

"He actually chose to form the elixir here. It is his destiny to lose money to avoid disaster."

"Yes, that's right. If those people like to attack the mountain, let them do it. They won't get any benefits, but they will die first."

"How can we brothers make a fortune here?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as the senior brother finished speaking, the two of them burst into laughter, as if they had gained some great advantage.

These two were the two elders from Mount Jiuhua, well-known... weirdos among the evil sects.

The two brothers were cowards who were afraid of death and loved to go around and earn resources for their cultivation. However, they were also lucky and they managed to cultivate step by step to the Jindan realm and their magic power was not weak.

This time, the Lord of Bones called upon all the evil spirits to come and help. Although He Tianyan looked down on them, they were Jindan Grandmasters after all, so he finally allowed them to join.

However, the two elders of Jiuhua Mountain also saw that Lord He looked down on their brothers and was unwilling to work for him, so they found an opportunity to slip away and came to a place thousands of miles south of the White Bone Cave Mansion to see if they could get an opportunity.

At this time, Lu Cheng was going through the last storm.

He could also feel that once he overcame this minor three-calamity calamity, his own merits would be fulfilled. At this moment, he was using his own life to continuously refine the divine wind calamity power that was blowing in from all directions for no reason.

"The external calamity hasn't arrived yet, but the human calamity is coming? Forget it, I'll just use that trick. It can also verify my deduction of the Xuanmen General Principles."

During the hundred years in the Jiuli world, Lu Cheng quietly comprehended the various Taoist principles.

During this process, he vaguely realized that in the Taoist transformation and ascension techniques and the general outline of the transformation of the Xuanmen True Spirit, his master Huang Longzi seemed to have hidden a Taoist technique and did not teach it in full.

Or maybe he wanted his disciples to figure it out on their own.

Inside the cave, Lu Cheng silently practiced his profound skills, and the ancient fire dragon's true blood that was hidden in his body and integrated with it immediately began to circulate in his body and turned into rolling fire clouds, covering the divine wind force.

"Master created the general outline of Xuanmen True Spirit Transformation, with the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Art as its foundation. However, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Art is ultimately a magic skill, which also affected Master. He absolutely suppressed, refined, and controlled the true blood in his body. That's why he had to fight against the overly powerful Yellow Dragon True Blood in his body for hundreds of years, and it was difficult to cure."

If Lu Cheng had not spent a hundred years in the Jiuli Ding world, he would have had to take this path. However, because Lu Cheng had taken care of Chi Jiao for a hundred years, the true blood that Chi Jiao had injected into Lu Cheng's body was full of obedience and admiration. In this case, Lu Cheng's control over the ancient fire dragon's true blood was even greater than that of his master Huang Longzi.

The last move of the Xuanmen True Spirit Transformation Principle is "Li Dai Tao Jiang, to bring back to life instead of the dead!" A cultivator who has practiced this technique to a very deep level can, at the most critical moment, turn the true blood in his body into a life and die for himself.

Huang Longzi had never taught this move to any of his disciples, but after practicing Taoism for a hundred years, Lu Cheng had understood it and was using it at this moment.

call.

The rolling fire clouds collided with the divine wind force, and each of them dispersed and spread around Lu Cheng.

When performing this Taoist magic, it is possible that one level of transformation will be directly broken, resulting in the loss of a hundred years of hard work. However, the power of the three disasters is about to be integrated into the cultivator's body.

The real blood that the red dragon injected into Lu Cheng's body was pure and powerful. Therefore, when Lu Cheng performed this magic at this moment, he did not have to worry about failing.

However, he would not be able to perform this move in the short term. The ancient fire dragon's true blood in his body would need to be nurtured for at least ten years to be refined again into this transformation.

As soon as the two elders from Jiuhua Mountain flew down, they saw the calamity clouds that had filled the sky outside the cave dissipate, and a continuous buzzing sound came from the void, which affected the inherent qi in the two people's bodies. It began to vibrate slightly, affecting the qi and blood, and circulating spontaneously, which was a rare feeling of comfort.

Suddenly, a green gas descended from the sky, faint and almost the same color as the blue sky, and fell into the cave and onto Lu Cheng's body, causing his physical body and magical powers to recover rapidly.

"Energy resonance!"

"God favors you!"

The two elders from Jiuhua Mountain exclaimed one by one, then looked at each other, and then screamed, and each turned into a beam of light and flew away into the distance.

Ancient Taoist texts record that the law of calamity between heaven and earth is both a calamity and a test. The most outstanding cultivators, after overcoming the difficult calamity, may even be blessed by strange phenomena from heaven and earth.

However, the two elders from Mount Jiuhua only formed a lead and mercury pill. They had never seen such a strange phenomenon before, and they had never heard of anyone among their contacts having experienced it.

Seeing him today, I knew I had hit a hard plate. If I don't leave now, when will I leave?

"You two, get back here. You've cost me my life. You two better think about how to compensate me."

At the entrance of the cave, a chaotic hole suddenly appeared, and it released a huge force of swallowing and sucking towards the two elders from Jiuhua Mountain, sucking and pulling back the two Jindan masters with strong magical powers.

In fact, Lu Cheng had done this transformation of the skill intentionally, and he did not suffer any loss. Instead, it confirmed his own deduction.

Otherwise, based on the level of the two elders from Mount Jiuhua, even if he surrounded them with the golden silkworm Gu containing hundreds of poisons, it would not affect his ability to continue to practice martial arts and overcome the calamity.

After all, he felt something in his heart, thinking that if he continued to hone his skills in this way, someone important might be in danger, so he cast the spell.

Of course, even so, these two guys cannot be let off easily.
