Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 316: Earth-shattering Demon Refining Pagoda

The natal magic weapon can be sacrificed and refined in the Purple Mansion realm. Relying on the cultivator's own three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, once the refining is completed, it can be stored in the Dantian for nurturing. It often shares the cultivator's honor and disgrace, life and death.

Compared with other magic weapons of the same level, the natal magic weapon is more powerful, consumes less mana, is more flexible, and is more spiritual.

The only drawback is that it will slightly consume the cultivator's vital energy and slow down the cultivator's mana improvement speed, but compared with its advantages, the disadvantages are far less.

For a cultivator like Lu Cheng who mainly cultivates the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit and whose Tao foundation is extremely strong, he did not feel the speed of his magic power improvement being affected when he practiced the Five Elements Flying Sword.

But for most cultivators, their practice will still be slowed down by their own innate magical instruments and treasures, so this ten-thousand-year-old wood spirit is extremely precious.

If the vast majority of the cultivators present, except Lu Cheng and the blue-robed cultivator, had not recognized this treasure, it would have been normal for the auction price to have increased several times.

By using this treasure to bless the wood-type magic weapon, the cultivator's own life force will not be consumed, and the speed of improving magic power can be increased by 10% to 20% over hundreds of years. There is no side effect such as elixir poison, and it is almost a treasure that can change the path of a cultivator.

Just when Lu Cheng had just bought the Wanzai Wood Spirit, he suddenly heard this whisper in his ear:

"Daoyou Lu, I am Sheng Boqian of the Xuankong Dharma Realm Mi Lian Sect. The treasure you just bought is of great use to me in my Taoism. I am willing to exchange it with you for forty high-quality spirit stones and a sixth-level martial arts inheritance. I wonder if you are willing to give it up?"

"Oh, what kind of inheritance is it?"

If it was a sixth-level sword cultivation inheritance, or a sixth-level spiritual cultivation technique inheritance, Lu Cheng might not be unwilling to exchange it.

However, when Lu Cheng took a quick look at the Buddhist scripture "Vajra Warrior Moving Mountains Sutra" that Sheng Boqian sent him, he directly rejected it.

This is obviously a Buddhist practice inheritance that Sheng Boqian got from somewhere. Lu Cheng inherited the Tianfo Sect's collection and is not interested in this kind of collection.

Sheng Boqian explained that he was a cultivator from the Mi Lian Sect of the Xuan Kong Fa Realm, and originally hinted to Lu Cheng that he should be treated favorably because he was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race from his realm.

However, Lu Cheng had no reaction to this. You are doing a deal with the Eight Landscapes. If you are willing to reach an agreement, then do it. If you are not willing, then withdraw. My Western Demon Cult is not a bonus.

The auction ceremony at Kunwu Palace was still going on, but the vast majority of the items were already owned by the Western Demon Cult and did not need to be purchased by Lu Cheng. Sisters Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue purchased several spiritual objects until the twenty-four thousand-year-old pearls from the East China Sea appeared.

These twenty-four East Sea pearls are fifth-level spiritual pearls, and their auras are connected. Lu Cheng knows that in the inheritance of the Tianfo Sect, there is a method to refine such treasures into the twenty-four heavenly Buddha realms:

It requires at least a fifth-rank weapon refiner to refine them into fifth-rank top-grade magic weapons, and then hand them over to a Jindan Buddhist cultivator to refine them into his own magic weapon. In the future, when this Jindan Buddhist cultivator is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, these twenty-four East China Sea spirit beads can be transformed into twenty-four Buddha realms of the heavens, which are both capable of offense and defense and have infinite power.

However, this would take at least several hundred years and might not be completed successfully. Lu Cheng had no intention of ruining the two ladies' interest at this time, so he auctioned off four of them, one for each of the two ladies, one for the master's wife, and one for the concubine.

There was another long period of boredom afterwards, until the last item of the auction: the Gu Yuan Method, a book on dual cultivation that had been developed by the Shuang Xiu Mansion over the past hundred years.

“This Taoist book is the result of the hard work of the monks in my sect over the past hundred years. It can help couples to have a harmonious relationship, increase their magical power and nourish their spiritual consciousness, and help them to study the great Dao together.

The price is 400,000 Spiritual Stones. Fellow Daoists can read the first seven pages. If you are interested, you can buy it. "

One hundred low-grade spirit stones are equal to one medium-grade spirit stone, and one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equal to one high-grade spirit stone.

Therefore, the 400,000 spirit stones mentioned by Shen Liuyue were equivalent to 40 high-quality spirit stones, which was almost the same as the price that Lu Cheng paid for the Wanzai Wood Spirit before.

In addition, this Gu Yuan Fa is not for auction. Any cultivator who is willing to pay 400,000 spirit stones can buy a copy. If interested, they can even buy a few beautiful girls from the Shuang Xiu Mansion and have them serve and teach them personally.

"As long as the inheritance of the Gu Yuan method is announced every hundred years, Shuang Xiu Mansion will never be truly wiped out. Most of the high-level cultivators in this world will owe Shuang Xiu Mansion a favor."

This was the main purpose of attending the auction, so Lu Cheng naturally bought this Taoist book without hesitation.

The art of dual cultivation, the monks in the Dual Cultivation Palace are specialized in this art, Lu Cheng will definitely be able to benefit a lot from it.

The ancient soul-refining technique "The Art of Inverting and Destroying the Soul's Consciousness", the ten-thousand-year-old wood spirit, four thousand-year-old spirit beads from the East China Sea, and the "Solid Origin Method" of the Shuangxiu Mansion. The proceeds from this auction far exceeded expectations. Of course, a lot of spirit stones were spent as well.

If the Western Demon Cult was not the top sect in this world, it would be difficult to afford such an expenditure of spirit stones.

Seven days later, after briefly studying and trying out the "Gu Yuan Method", the couple and their two companions left the Kunwu Palace in Shuang Xiu Mansion and flew back to the Western Demon Cult.

The two sisters, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue, were more beautiful and energetic than ever. However, what was strange in Shen Liuyue's eyes was that the Western Demon Lord Lu Cheng Zhenjun, whose divine aura should have been weakened a little, was also refreshed and lively.

In a mud and water battle, the male cultivators would suffer more. Moreover, it was two against one, and the two sisters were in tune with each other and joined forces to resist the enemy.

"Your Excellency truly has a great physique. I admire you."

As if she thought of something, Shen Liuyue's fair face turned red, and she bowed and spoke like she was shy.

"Sister Liuyue, let's go."

Xiao Yuxue was in the middle of a passionate moment with her husband, so she could see the seductive side of Shen Liuyue. She immediately grabbed her brother's robe and left, protecting her food with all her might.

Shen Liuyue stood in Kunwu Palace and kept watching until the three people had completely disappeared into the distance, then he turned around with some regret.

"Palace Master, Jianmen Cheng Zhenjun asked us whether Lu Zhenjun has left and what the state of his magic power is."

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared behind Shen Liuyue and asked softly. Although it was a female voice, there was a faint sound of sword.

"…Tell Master Cheng that Old Demon Lu and his two wives have been in sexual intercourse for seven days and nights. We have done everything we can. The rest is up to him."

No matter which side, all the chips will not be put on the line. No matter which side, we will try our best not to offend anyone. This has been the way of survival of Shuangxiu Mansion for thousands of years.

At the same time, on the other side, Sheng Boqian, a blue-robed monk from the Milian Sect, had been wandering outside the mountain with Gu Qinghong for seven days and nights.

How could Gu Qinghong not understand what he was thinking? It was just that the cooperation with the Mi Lian Sect was related to the life and death of the two worlds, so even if he hated this person, Gu Qinghong had to grit his teeth and stay by his side.

"Qinghong, do you think I will kill him? Qinghong underestimates me. Although I want the Ten Thousand Years Wood Spirit, I am not willing to do the Tribulation Cultivation."

On top of a mountain, between pavilions built with Taoist magic, the blue-robed monk Sheng Boqian sipped spiritual tea and said these words.

He liked the elegant and refined female fairy in front of him very much, but unfortunately, although Qingxuan Zhenjun needed the support of Milian Sect, he also had his own bottom line. He agreed to match his disciple with the elder of Milian Sect, but in the end, Gu Qinghong had to give the nod herself.

If the two sides can develop feelings for each other, then it will be a natural thing. If not, True Lord Qingxuan will never force his beloved disciple.

"Fellow Daoist, just wait here. Given Master Lu's temperament, I'm afraid he won't give up the spiritual object just because of your sincerity."

Gu Qinghong was sitting opposite him, also drinking spiritual tea. She was confident that she knew Taoist Lu Cheng much better than Sheng Boqian did.

"On this long journey of life, cultivators sometimes have to be selfish and ruthless in order to go further. Bajing is good at the art of fortune-telling in the Book of Changes. I have also studied it recently. How is the fortune of Master Lu from Qinghong Temple?"

"Master Lu's Taoism and magical power are far superior to mine. Qinghong dare not underestimate it."

"Hahaha, I see that Master Lu is about to be covered in blood and a disaster is about to happen." Sheng Boqian laughed with his head raised, full of confidence.

He himself did not rob and kill Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng was still about to be killed. When the time came, he would help him. In a life-and-death situation, could the other party still cling to the Ten Thousand Years Wood Spirit?
At this time, Lu Cheng and his two wives were riding on the Liuyun flying car and flying back to the Western Demon Cult.

Lu Cheng practiced the Three Treasures and refined the best elixir, creating the Eight or Nine Caves of True Daoist Pills. He naturally had a keen sense and the instinct to sense danger and avoid it.

Therefore, when the Liuyun flying car arrived above an empty valley, Lu Cheng suddenly felt a little uneasy. He slowly stopped the car and planned to change direction and fly back.

However, at this moment, from the empty valley ahead, endless silver sword lights suddenly gushed out like a volcanic eruption.

As the saying goes: If the mountain doesn’t come to see me, I will go to see the mountain.

The monks of Beichen Sword Sect who were hiding in the empty valley burst out with sword light, surrounded and quickly covered the Flowing Cloud Flying Chariot.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely brilliant sword light shot up into the sky, and a tall, thin and cold Taoist walked out of it. He was none other than Cheng Lixue, the great elder of Beichen Sword Sect. Judging from his aura and magic power, he had actually been promoted to the sixth level of Nascent Soul realm.

Cheng Lixue did not have a friendly relationship with the sect leader Fei Hanyu back then. The two of them had their own forces and had fought irreconcilably in the sect. In the end, Cheng Lixue was forced away by Fei Hanyu and left with some of his confidants, but he was still the grand elder of Beichen Sword Sect.

In his heart, Cheng Lixue had no intention of avenging the sect leader Fei Hanyu, but as long as the Demon Lord Lu Cheng was alive, the shame of Beichen Jianmen could not be washed away. There would be a thorn in the hearts of the cultivators in the sect, and it would be difficult for him to lead Jianmen again and make them loyal.

Lu Cheng put away the flying car, and a circle of black and white Tai Chi mist spread out with his body as the center, accompanied by the five-colored sword lights, protecting himself and his two wives.

There was a flash of fire in his eyes, and he was already using the magical power of the Fire Pupils and Golden Eyes.

"Seventeen Jindan Zhenren and hundreds of disciples who have cultivated Gangqi can indeed compete with Zhenjun realm cultivators. Add you, Mr. Cheng, and it's no wonder that you, Cheng Lixue, dare to stand in front of me."

If Lu Cheng had not sensed the situation and fell into the formation, the situation would have been several times more difficult. A formation connected to the earth veins and a simple sword formation set up by a cultivator are two completely different things.

"You evil thief, you killed our leader and damaged the reputation of Beichen Sword Sect for thousands of years. Today is the day you die. Set up the formation."

The Beichen Sword Sect was full of sword cultivators. At this moment, the sword formation was formed, and the cold sword light flashed, and the world was chilled. Even Lu Cheng frowned slightly when facing this level of sword formation.

As his profound skill was activated, the Tai Chi Yin Yang domain laid out by the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner accelerated its rotation. At the same time, Lu Cheng's natal flying sword, the Five Elements Flying Sword, flew around in the air. The five sword lights and the sword energy behind them gradually differentiated and condensed, from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight.

The five five-element flying swords finally turned into forty-nine five-element sword lights, forming a sword formation, and blocking the sword lights coming from all directions with a clanging sound.

The unique skill of kendo, the sword light splits.

Dao Fifty, Tianyan Forty-nine!
This sword formation may not have any absolutely fatal killing moves, but it would be a huge mistake to underestimate it.

Once this Forty-Nine Sword Formation is fully deployed, the sword energy will be generated and destroyed continuously, pouring out endlessly, and will not stop until the spiritual consciousness and magic power of the person who set up the formation and cast the spell are completely exhausted, or it is forcibly broken with a violent force.

If it weren't for the fact that the third transformation of Lu Cheng's self-created Great Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method was the Sword Demon Transformation, with his talent in swordsmanship, it would have been impossible for him to set up this Forty-Nine Sword Formation in the late Jindan realm.

Lu Cheng's original plan for improving his swordsmanship was to practice the Five Elements Magic and refine his own Five Elements Flying Sword. However, he had accidentally gained help from a ghost infant incarnation a hundred years before. The powerful magic power of the Nascent Soul level overwhelmed all his previous plans and sword skills.

"Old devil, die!"

Cheng Lixue knew that the Demon Lord of Heaven and Earth, the old demon Lu Cheng, was definitely not an easy person to kill, and he was prepared in his heart.

At this moment, the magic power was activated, and the flesh and blood all over his body began to change, wither and decay, transforming his own vitality into sword energy, and a terrible evil sword energy burst out!

After all, if he died in battle, then his life would be meaningless. On the contrary, if he could kill this beast, Cheng Lixue felt that what he would gain would far outweigh what he lost.

Then, a ray of sword energy was slashed out, and a dark sword energy beam swept across the sky.

Under this evil sword energy, it seems as if all things are melting, as if all laws are shattered, and everything within a hundred miles will fall into decomposition and destruction. This is the extremely terrifying killing sword intent of the Beichen Sword Sect.

But before this sword intent and sword energy could be cut down, within the Forty-Nine Sword Formation, Lu Cheng used both hands to perform a seal, and the Xiantian Qi Great Capturing Technique, which no one in the Xiantian Sect had cultivated to this level since ancient times, flew out of his hands.

A huge palm that looked like colored glass, with hand gestures controlling the seals, caused the tidal changes of the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and attacked forward.

"what!"

Cheng Lixue, who had integrated his body and sword and was blessed with the evil sword energy, fell backwards in front of the huge palm.

Although the sword energy cut deeply into his palm, the whole person was instantly blown away nearly a hundred miles by this powerful and surging magic power.

Inside the sword formation, Lu Cheng also groaned, and a deep sword wound suddenly appeared on the palm of his right hand, with black and gray blood gushing out. However, a golden-red magic fire soon burned on it, burning all the poisonous blood and damage.

"You are willing to burn your life to perform martial arts and sacrifice your blood to the sword."

Lu Cheng was an expert in this art back then, so how could he not see it?

However, Cheng Lixue didn't know whether it was because he was reluctant to do so or because of the limitations of his martial arts technique, the evil sword energy he could transform was relatively limited, far less than what Lu Cheng had done back then, when he had complete control over his own life.

In fact, Lu Cheng had already suffered a loss in that attack just now. The evil sword energy was extremely vicious. Normally, it would be very difficult for an ordinary cultivator of the same level to escape from the attack. However, Lu Cheng used his innate Qi to attack from a distance, and his body was extremely strong, and he was protected by the Samadhi True Fire, so he was able to neutralize the backlash.

If it were any other cultivator of the same realm, at this moment, although Cheng Lixue would be knocked hundreds of miles away, he would have already been defeated.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came into Lu Cheng's ears:

"Daoyou Lu, I am Sheng Boqian of the Xuankong Dharma Realm Mi Lian Sect. The treasure you bought before is of great use to me in my Taoism. I am willing to exchange it with you for a sixth-level martial arts inheritance. I wonder if you are willing to give it up?"

At this time, if Sheng Boqian was willing to take action, even if he didn't use his full strength, Cheng Lixue of Beichen Jianmen would not be able to kill Lu Cheng and his wife.

You have to know that it won't take Huang Longzi Zhenjun a moment to get here from the Zhiguan Mountain of the Western Demon Sect, but it won't take too long either.

Therefore, Sheng Boqian was full of confidence at this moment. He looked at Gu Qinghong in front of him with a slight smile, showing the gap between Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun: I only need to flip through a few Taoist books, and I can surpass the knowledge of Yi Shu and numerology that you have accumulated throughout your life.

At the same time, because Sheng Boqian's aura was no longer hidden and rose into the sky, Cheng Lixue, who was flying back, also had a sudden change of expression, and was unclear about the other party's origins and intentions.

However, Lu Cheng directly responded to this: "It's just a small matter, there's no need to trouble you to do anything about it."

Lu Cheng's answer was completely beyond Sheng Boqian's expectation: "What is this man thinking? Why is he so reckless and stupid? Even if he doesn't think about himself, doesn't he also think about his two wives?"

Just as Sheng Boqian was surprised, within the Forty-Nine Sword Formation that was constantly besieged by sword lights from all directions, within the Tai Chi domain, an extremely thick ray of light suddenly shot up into the sky.

High in the sky, a pure golden pagoda was suspended, a hundred feet high, emitting platinum flames.

This pagoda is divided into two sides, and a treasure is placed on each floor to suppress it:
On the top layer, there are two linked precious circles; on the second layer, there is a red wheel, surrounded by flames on all four sides, burning brightly; on the third layer, there is a bowl; on the fourth layer, there is a golden bell; on the fifth layer, there is a wisdom sword; on the sixth layer, there is a Sanskrit bell; on the seventh layer, there is a precious mirror.

There are garlands hanging on all four sides, and there should be a relic or golden elixir on the top.

This set of magic weapons requires sixteen pieces of materials for fifth to sixth-order magic weapons. With the help of magic power, the fourteen treasures placed on each layer inside operate at the same time, spreading the platinum-colored flame as if it were real.

With this pagoda standing high in the sky, it seems as if there is another sun between heaven and earth!
The Seven Treasures Magic Tower was a magic treasure that Huang Longzi and his wife spent all their wealth and painstakingly refined for their two daughters.

Originally it was only a fourth-rank innate magic weapon, but now with the Xiao sisters refining the ghost infant and primordial infant, it has begun to gradually upgrade to a sixth-rank magic weapon. Although it is still far from its peak, it is enough to restrain the sword monks of the Beichen Sword Gate around it.

Lu Cheng had just set up the Samsara Banner and laid out the Forty-Nine Sword Formation, but in fact he was just buying time for his two wives. The Seven Treasures Demon Refining Tower was too strong and powerful, and the Xiao sisters were not strong enough in magic power, so it would take some time to sacrifice this treasure.

At this moment, the sisters Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue were sitting in mid-air on the left and right sides of the golden pagoda respectively. One of them made the Buddhist Vajra Seal with both hands, and the other made the Taoist Demon-Slaying Seal with both hands. Both of them were concentrating their minds and their appearances were solemn and dignified.

The golden light will spread all over the sky, and all the evil magic within a hundred miles will be restrained.

It was still okay for those who felt as if a huge weight was pressing down on their whole body. However, some evil practitioners who did not practice properly felt as if their bodies were pierced by thousands of red-hot flying needles. It would not take long before white smoke came out of their bodies and they fell from the sky.

This is Beichen Sword Sect, which is more of a sword-cultivating sect, divided into the Sword and the Demon. The magic part is not too heavy, otherwise the restraining force would be even greater.

"Nascent Soul Realm, how is this possible?"

In order to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, Cheng Lixue turned to the devil's way and has already become deeply possessed by the devil. Compared with sword cultivators, he is closer to a demon. At this moment, he urges the sword light to fly as close as possible.

He felt as if his internal organs were burning under the shining golden light, as if all his blood had turned into a stream of fire.

And just at this moment, a huge palm fell from the sky, making various magical changes as it fell, causing the five elements of heaven and earth to surge like a vast ocean tide.

"Two Yuanying Zhenjuns, how is this possible?"

It wasn't just Cheng Lixue who was extremely surprised. Sheng Boqian also almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

It's not that he is unstable, it's just that the fact that there are three True Lords in one sect is really shocking. If it were those Yuanshen sects, it would be fine, but why is it so possible for this mere Tongxuan Dharma Realm?
The huge palm formed by the innate qi grasping force suppressed Cheng Lixue who had just flown close again. Cheng Lixue waved the long sword in his hand frantically, and the sword energy was violent enough to split mountains and seas.

However, just as he was about to forcibly break the handprint, a long sigh suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay here today."

In a dark golden glow, a tree demon in white suddenly appeared next to Cheng Lixue and pointed out the Heavenly Wood Divine Needle.

Although Lu Cheng was unable to fully exploit the power of the Jiuli Ding, it was already the most precious treasure in his possession:

The poisonous golden silkworm Gu, the dog demon, the white-clothed tree demon, and other spiritual products produced in the insect world and the tree world are all invaluable treasures regardless of their functions.

If it weren't for this treasure, the White-Clothed Tree Demon and the Golden-Winged Peng would not be so easy to subdue.

"Where did the demon come from!?"

Facing the attack from the white-clothed tree demon, Cheng Lixue used his sword to block it again, but at this time, Cheng Lixue also clearly sensed that the breath of the old demon Lu Cheng was very close.

When Cheng Lixue took the Tianmu Divine Needle and forced back the white-clothed tree monster, Lu Cheng had already approached him in an instant. His fist, as white as jade, gently clenched, had already imprinted heavily on Cheng Lixue's dantian.

The blazing and powerful magic power continuously rushed into Cheng Lixue's body. The powerful force contained in the fist caused the fist to decompose and crack. The shadow of death had shrouded the mind of this demonic Yuanying Zhenjun, but it also stimulated his survival instinct. He shouted wildly, forcing out 120% of the magic sword energy and magic power, and shook Lu Cheng and his fist away.

"Wow!"

However, the damage of Lu Cheng's final blow was too strong. Even if Cheng Lixue could save his life, he would vomit blood and his blood would spill into the sky. His own injuries were so serious that they could not be made any worse.

As Lu Cheng fell back, he shook his sleeves and a large golden cloud covered Cheng Lixue again. This was a swarm of fifth-order golden silkworm poisonous insects.
