Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 313: The elixir belongs to him, and he becomes the incarnation of the catastrophe; the third catastrophe of the forty-nine levels, under the great way, the way of heaven is far away

"I have finally accomplished my mission and made seven pills. I would like to invite the two True Lords to come forward and have a look."

When Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng arrived outside the Dan room of Zhiguan Mountain, they waited for a stick of incense.

Then, Huo Xiu, the alchemy fanatic, was supported by the water and fire boys on his left and right, and he trembled as he opened the stone door of the alchemy room. It was obvious that he was exhausted, but his spirit was extremely excited.

When cultivators refine pills, they usually make ten pills in one furnace. However, for a sixth-grade elixir like the Ghost Infant Pill, making seven in one furnace is already enough to be the best in the world.

The talent of Dan Chi and the support of heaven are both indispensable.

If someone else was refining pills, Huo Xiu would have already collected the pills by now, taking a few and leaving a few, depending on the person's wishes.

But in this Zhiguan Mountain, facing the two True Lords, the master and the disciple, even someone as arrogant as Huo Xiu had to curb his pride.

After Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng arrived, he performed the elixir-collecting technique and smoothly put the seven elixirs in the furnace into the jade bottle to prevent the elixirs from being contaminated by the vulgar and foul air from the outside world.

"Thank you very much for troubling Master Huo Dan this time. According to the previous agreement, Master Huo Dan can take one pill. The remaining Danshu Daojing will be delivered to Master Dan's residence within half an hour. Master Dan, please rest early and don't damage your vitality."

Previously, Huang Longzi and Huo Xiu had agreed that for every five pearls produced, Huo Xiu would take one, and the rest would be supplemented with Danshu and other goods.

Facing a sixth-rank alchemist, there is no telling how many critical moments he will need in the future. What's more, Huang Longzi has made a vow to his inner demons. For a cultivator who has no interest in the great Dao and does not pursue improvement in his Taoism and magical powers, the vow to his inner demons is just a piece of nonsense.

But the more advanced the cultivator is, the more cautious he is about this.

Half an hour later, in the main hall, Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng divided the six elixirs:
One for Madam Baoxiang and one for each of the Xiao sisters, that’s half.

"In fact, with Yuhong's aptitude and diligent practice, she has a good chance of achieving the Nascent Soul Dao. Unfortunately, the great catastrophe of the millennium is approaching, and she needs to cooperate with Yuxue to unleash the power of the Seven Treasures Demon Refining Tower to its fullest."

The Seven Treasures Demon Refining Tower was a magical instrument that Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang spent a lot of blood to refine with the help of the Xiao sisters. It is the most powerful weapon to restrain ghosts and demons. On the day of the refinement, the magic tools became one and became extremely powerful!
"This one is for the third brother."

Huang Longzi put another ghost baby pill into another jade bottle using the pill control technique.

Lu Cheng knew that the "oldest" mentioned by his master was referring to his third uncle Mie Hongzi. When they became sworn brothers and fought as knights, his third uncle Mie Hongzi was the only one who died in the Jindan realm. If there was no such opportunity, she would die in a few years.

Even Third Uncle Mie Hongzi himself had given up, no one could have expected that things would turn out this way.

Seeing Huang Longzi's eyes fall on the fifth Ghost Infant Pill again, Lu Cheng quickly said:
"Master, I have a secret technique that requires a Ghost Infant Pill for my supplementary practice."

"Haha, then I'll give it to you."

Lu Cheng was Taoist Huang Longzi's most trusted disciple. He said that there was a secret method that required the Ghost Infant Pill. Taoist Huang Longzi did not ask much and pushed a jade bottle containing the Ghost Infant Pill in front of him.

"Then this last one."

"Master, my concubine Xue Yuzhen has made great progress in practicing the Mysterious Jade Soul Transferring Technique of Dongji Island."

Lu Cheng also felt a little shameless, so he stood up and said this politely.

Hearing this, Huang Longzi became slightly angry:

"That old woman has been with you for more than two hundred years, right? Her love has never faded, and her kindness has never ended?"

When beauty fades, love fades; when love fades, affection ends.

Hearing this, Lu Cheng smiled bitterly and said:

"Master, I have often heard that clothes are worse than new and people are worse than old. Yuzhen has served me for more than 240 years. Moreover, the catastrophe of this world is approaching. Xue Yuzhen and his daughter Yun Ling'er have made great progress in practicing the Mysterious Jade Soul Transfer Technique. They can transfer souls and bodies through telepathy, and have two souls in one body."

"If this Mysterious Jade Soul Transfer Technique is really so mysterious, Master, perhaps we can use one Ghost Infant Pill to obtain two Ghost Infant True Lords. Even if their magic power cannot be compared with that of real True Lord cultivators, they are enough to guard the formation and practice the hundred arts of cultivation. Master, we are in need of people right now."

Taoist Huang Longzi has been practicing for nearly a thousand years. He must have had many touching stories and many unforgettable lovers in the past:
For example, Grandma Jinhua in the Biyun Cave, and Xiuyunxian, the Yunfeng Fairy who turned from love to hate.

Regardless, these are unforgettable characters.

But Huang Longzi was a man who was far more rational than emotional, and he was convinced by his disciple.

Xue Yuzhen and her daughter Yun Ling'er practiced the strange art of Xuanyu Soul Transferring Technique. Their spiritual connection with each other far exceeded the normal range, and they were almost each other's incarnations. Perhaps they could really pass on the experience and energy of refining the Nascent Soul to each other, creating the effect of one Ghost Infant Pill creating two True Lord cultivators.

Cases like theirs are truly the result of strange coincidences. It's not that one can achieve this kind of effect by simply finding a pair of blood relatives and practicing this Taoist method.

After a while, Huang Longzi sighed and left. From then on, the seven Ghost Infant Pills each had their own owner.

For elixirs of this level, it is best to use them the sooner they are used. If they are kept on hand for too long, who knows how much trouble they will cause.

Therefore, Lu Cheng put away the four jade bottles in front of him and immediately gave them to the four women.

Everyone had different reactions when receiving the elixir. Xiao Yuxue was lively and filled with endless joy at this moment. She condensed into a ghost baby and ascended to heaven in one step, with a lifespan of 4,000 years.

Xiao Yuhong had a steady temperament, but even with her talent and ability, she was delighted to receive this elixir. After all, there were many dangers in refining the Nascent Soul with her own Taoist power, and Xiao Yuhong was not completely sure. Now that she had this elixir, her path would be much smoother.

The effects of this Ghost Infant Pill will be different in the hands of people with different levels of magical power. If a cultivator in the Qi training realm takes it, the Yin Qi will even dissolve the cultivator's physical body, forcing him to turn to practicing the ghost way, and then find a place with abundant Yin Qi and practice diligently for two to three hundred years. Only then will he have a chance to glimpse the Ghost Emperor realm, the Nascent Soul realm of the human race.

The advantage is that there is almost no bottleneck in cultivation, and you can move up step by step.

After practicing Qi, building the foundation, purple mansion (condensing the evil and refining the Gang realm), and forming the elixir realm, the time for accumulating mana can be greatly shortened with each level of realm improvement.

After reaching the Jindan stage, taking the Ghost Infant Pill will not even dissolve the physical body, but will only transform the magic power to condense and refine it in one's own Dantian to form the Yin Yuanying of the Fetus of Heaven and Earth.

Inside the Demon Palace, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger were summoned, and they came together to pay a visit to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng took out the jade bottle and directly explained the effects of the elixir in the bottle.

Xue Yuzhen immediately knelt down and cried with joy upon hearing this: "Master, you are so kind. I wish to follow and serve you for the rest of my life. If I betray you, I wish my soul will be shattered and never reincarnate!"

Lu Cheng helped Xue Yuzhen up, knowing that her gratitude was genuine, but he also knew that the journey would be long and the moon would turn colder and the sun would turn warmer. Her sincerity today might not necessarily turn false in the future. He just liked her sincerity at this moment.

"Just practice Taoism well. We met when we were little, and I hope we will never let each other down." After cultivating the ghost baby's magic power, special techniques are needed to unleash its full power. The Hanyin Bingsha Jue that Lu Cheng brought back from the Dingzhang World is quite suitable for this, so Lu Cheng simply gave this Taoist book to them so that the two of them could practice their magic power as soon as possible.

……

The secret training room was dark and gloomy, with dim lights. The only dark red light came from the dragon Gu that had transformed into a dragon above the Yin-Yang platform.

Sometimes it transforms into an ancient fire dragon covered with scales and horns, and sometimes it transforms into a lively and active golden-red monkey that jumps around everywhere.

The first and second changes of the Five Elements Reform are to use fire to create earth.

This dragon Gu has been refined by Taoist Lin Chong for thousands of years. Its nature is extremely soft and gentle, and can be refined into any kind of physical form. It is an extremely precious treasure of Taoism.

When ordinary Taoists obtain it, most of them will use it to simulate their own physical state, and use it to deduce and cultivate their own magic power. In the event of an accidental death, they can have a perfect physical body to take over another body. If they practice for a long time, it will be the most perfect incarnation, which can be said to have infinite uses.

However, as a poisonous insect, its nature has its limits after all. Lu Cheng's Great Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method has been cultivated to the fourth peak realm, but this dragon poison can only complete one or two transformations at most. The third transformation, which is to produce gold from earth, can never be completed.

Lu Cheng took out the jade bottle and poured out a ghost baby pill. The whole body of the ghost baby pill looked like colored glaze, and there was an unclear face of a baby inside.

This requires the person who takes the pill to fill it with his own essence, energy and spirit, and refine it into his own appearance.

“Although after taking this pill, if there is no great opportunity afterwards, there will be no possibility of further advancement, but the promotion of the external incarnation to the original spirit is extremely difficult and requires a great opportunity. Compared with the benefits of hundreds and thousands of years later, the current demon god calamity is more dangerous!”

Lu Cheng placed the elixir in his palm. The scaly and horned ancient fire dragon coiled around the Taoist's body like a snake. It was gradually attracted by the fragrance of the elixir and moved over. After getting the Taoist's approval, it swallowed the elixir in one gulp.

The blazing dragon flames around him began to burn fiercely after a very short time, almost quickly filling the entire meditation room. Lu Cheng was in it without being affected and he guided the magic power in his body, gradually returning to a state of oblivion of both himself and the world.

A few months later, the sky above Zhiguan Peak, which had originally been peaceful, was gradually covered with calamity clouds again, and this was different from the common heavenly punishment thunder calamity in the world of immortal cultivation.

The sky suddenly darkened, red and black clouds blocked the sun, the air was filled with a burning smell, and the burning wind howled with red light for thousands of miles.

At this moment, a terrible dark red crack appeared in the sky, and a brilliant light pierced through the clouds, accompanied by a deafening roar, and skyfire descended.

As Lu Cheng's magic power improves, the third forty-nine calamity has arrived.

The flames were like the wrath of a god, brilliant and supreme. The flames rolled and turned into whirlpools of flames, rolling down, as if to devour everything in the world.

Just when the heavenly fire was about to trigger the defensive prohibitions of Zhiguan Mountain, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the sky.

The hundreds of whirlpools of fire sensed the real target and made an abrupt turn, almost without falling on the Zhiguan Mountain which was already within reach, and flew in the opposite direction, rushing towards Taoist Lu Cheng.

A trace of solemnity appeared on Lu Cheng's face in the sky. A faint platinum glow surrounded his body, which was the condensation of his golden elixir true energy, forming a thin layer of protection.

Fire from the sky enveloped and fell from all directions. Although the platinum light was burned and flickered, it never broke.

"This is the 49th level of the highest calamity, right? With my merits and cultivation, should I be able to reach this level?"

Facing the falling heavenly fire, Lu Cheng never used any other means except the golden elixir energy, not even any magical powers or magic weapons.

The Jindan Zhenren realm cultivators in the Tongxuan cultivation world condense all their magical powers into the most refined and pure bits and pieces.

This little bit of golden elixir true qi can be controlled by the mind and has unpredictable power. Compared with cultivators in other cultivation circles, it is almost equivalent to having an extra innate magic weapon that can be used for both attack and defense.

As for Lu Cheng, he practiced Taoism and condensed the Five Elements of True Evil in the Condensed Evil Realm, until his magic power became as strong as possible and could not be increased any further.

In the realm of Lian Gang, breathe in and out the Great Sun True Fire Gangsha, which is extremely pure and unparalleled, and circulates it as you wish until there is no more progress to be made.

Eventually, the Gang and Sha merged into one, and the elixir became top-notch, making him a first-rate cultivator in the world, so he did not use any magic weapon or even Taoist magic, but only relied on his own true Qi to roam freely in the world and do whatever he wanted.

Only in this way can one make the most of the power of the heavenly tribulation to temper and cultivate one's body and mind.

The fire clouds in the sky seemed to sense this and became enraged.

Fire meteors from the sky began to fall down without any care: Compared with the heaven and earth, you are nothing but a tiny thing!
The trees on the mountain were instantly carbonized by the heavenly fire, and the ground cracked. For a moment, the area within a hundred miles around Zhiguan Mountain almost turned into a sea of ​​fire.

But in this sea of ​​fire, the Zhiguan Mountain activated by the formation was like a golden lotus, while Taoist Lu Cheng was like an isolated island, in the midst of disaster, yet calm and far-reaching.

He seemed to have gradually realized some truth from this third forty-nine calamities, a kind of transcendent realization that he shared the same destiny with the heaven and earth.

Take a deep breath, then open your mouth and exhale.

An ancient fire dragon with red and golden flames rushed against the sky and grew bigger and bigger with the wind. Finally, it swam rapidly in the fire cloud like a dragon entering the sea.

Breathing, whistling, burning, bathing.

"I understand. You want me to give up my third ray of destiny to save my life? You forget your life when you see a little profit, and you cherish your body when you do big things. Are you so afraid of those demon gods from outside the world?

Then why... aren't you afraid of me?"

Suddenly, Lu Cheng condensed his golden elixir energy into a sword, and then slashed it towards the sky. The calamity energy that had been gathering in the sky was suddenly torn apart from it, as if it was cut into the abyss and continued to devour it.

Lu Cheng swung out three swords in succession. One sword split the clouds, two swords destroyed the catastrophe, and with the third sword, the red clouds in the sky were swept away, leaving a clear sky.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng turned around and returned to Zhiguan Mountain. The flying ancient fire dragon behind him circled around the sacred mountain and swallowed up all the fire.

The area within a hundred miles around Zhiguan Mountain is deserted except for the monsters and beasts, so even if the heavenly fire burns, it will not cause any damage at all.

"The heart of heaven is in chaos, and it doesn't know what it wants. Therefore, even though cultivators like me practice diligently, we often have to face heavenly tribulations and endure hardships."

"We should establish our mind for the heaven and earth, establish our destiny for all living beings, and inherit the lost knowledge of the saints. We cultivators are the treasures of the heaven and earth. In the past 100,000 years, the entire Tongxuan world has been constantly oppressed by the demons and gods from outside the world, and it has been tainted by chaos and finally destroyed. The only thing we cultivators can do is to eliminate evil, cleanse the universe, expand the universe, get rid of the old and bring in the new, and reorganize it. Only in this way can we have a prosperous future in the next 100,000 years, regardless of whether the heavenly way is willing or not.

Under the Great Dao, the Way of Heaven is far away. "

Lu Cheng survived the third forty-nine tribulations, and as a result, his understanding of the great way of heaven within and outside his body and mind advanced a little.
