Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 329: The Three Immortals of the East Sea, Dong Ling, Dong Qing, and Dong Yin; The Infinite Earth Fire Demon Cave, the Fire Spirit Lord

The sky and earth have limits, but the winds are reliable; the sea is boundless, but no one can be seen.

The sea is boundless and magnificent. It breeds countless lives and swallows up countless unknown secrets.

At this moment, Lu Cheng was flying in the air, standing in the air with his eyes closed to rest. Although the sea breeze was raging all around him, his body seemed to be standing there, motionless.

Even though the wind is strong, it cannot move the mountains.

"Master Lu is indeed a trustworthy person. I didn't expect that you would be here first. Zi Ling is a little late. Please forgive me."

In the distance, two rays of light, one blue and one red, came across the sky.

After standing still, a woman in green dressed as a man appeared. She was Li Ziling, the manager of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce on the extraterritorial starship.

Next to her was a tall female cultivator in a bright red robe, carrying a long sword on her back, with a cold and dignified temperament.

"It's okay. I'm the one who chose to go first. When do we leave?"

In order to nurture the Taiyi Yuanxiantian Qi, the Tongxuan World was continuously thrown into the broken caves outside the sky by the twenty-four demon gods to replenish the origin. For tens of thousands of years, the Tongxuan World has been blocked by the four-way demon formation, and the human cultivators can only move freely in a small area, just like the yang on the yin side of the Tai Chi diagram. Only with endless darkness can the most refined vitality be nurtured.

However, the endless ruined caves on the dark side are not meaningless. To the world, it has been destroyed, but to individual cultivators, if they can enter and explore there, they may find an opportunity to change their destiny.

Nine years ago, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce arrived outside the Tongxuan World. Lu Cheng was the first native cultivator from the Tongxuan World to fly out of the sky and come into contact with it.

In this way, he obtained the discount privileges of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. After purchasing the true blood of Kunpeng, Lu Cheng flew back. Then, he asked Madam Baoxiang, the Xiao sisters, and even the concubine Xue Yuzhen to bring the relics of Dongyang Orthodox Church to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to make large purchases.

Of course, Zhenjun Huang Longzi had been informed of this matter. Huang Longzi had been in seclusion and practicing hard in the Earth Fire Corpse Cave for many years to condense the Heavenly Corpse Capture. He could not move rashly. If he moved rashly, not only would his seclusion fail and time be wasted, but he would also probably lose his own vitality and suffer serious injuries.

But if you encounter such an opportunity, you must seize it. It is meaningless to pile up spiritual stones into a mountain and let them gather dust in the treasury. Compared with the Yuanying sects in the outer domain, the Tiandi Mo Palace and Tongxuan cultivators lack almost everything:
There is a lack of cultivation techniques, Taoist books and classics, a lack of the inheritance of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, a lack of magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, and even knowledge.

If all of these could be completed, the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm, by condensing the Disha Tiangang and overcoming the forty-nine tribulations, would have the true Qi and magic power they have honed, almost like cultivators in the other seven realms, with one more innate magic weapon that could be used for both offense and defense, which would give them a great advantage in battles of the same level.

But to complete all of these, either a long time is needed, or a huge amount of spirit stones are needed. Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace happens to have the latter.

The tens of billions of spirit stones spent by the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace made Li Ziling, the manager of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, both happy and heartbroken.

Although Taoist Lu Cheng was the first local cultivator to come to this world and contact the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and he brought large business, he had the power to give certain discounts and no one could say anything about this.

But if there was no discount, it would have been a great achievement, especially after the business with Tongxuan Realm became more and more frequent. Li Ziling also unexpectedly learned that the True Lord Lu Cheng, whom she had tried hard to win over, was actually just a late Jindan cultivator.

It's just that he had made great contributions to the Tongxuan cultivation world, so he was respected as a True Lord.

This made Li Ziling even more angry, and she felt that she had made a mistake.

The forces supported by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in the local area, of course, their own alliances cannot be Jindan cultivators, so this time when exploring the cave world, Li Ziling invited several powerful Zhenjun from this world. Li Ziling was born in the family of Yuanshen cultivators, and took charge of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce at a young age, so he had enough resources to help him cultivate to the Yuanying realm.

But if one wants to get a glimpse of the great way to becoming a spirit and attaining immortality in the future, one must not relax for even a moment, and one must personally experience danger and fight for opportunities. If one relies on the sect to grant opportunities, the Yuanshen Sect will not have that many opportunities to share.

At this moment, three powerful spiritual energies flew towards them from the northwest, and a blazing fire energy flew towards them from the southwest.

"The Three Immortals of the East Sea, Dong Ling, Dong Qing, and Dong Yin? This magical power is... the Infinite Earth Fire Demon Cave, the Fire Spirit God?"

There are only so many Yuanying Zhenjun-level cultivators in the entire Tongxuan Realm. They know Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng also knows them.

The Infinite Earth Fire Demon Cave was originally a vassal sect of the Dongyang Orthodox Church, but the sect was not particularly close to them; they were just dependent on others for their livelihood in the Eastern Region.

After the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace wiped out the Dongyang Orthodox Church, the Fire Spirit God of the Infinite Earth and Fire Demon Cave also visited Lu City, wanting the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace to take over the Infinite Earth and Fire Demon Cave, unify the demon path, and do it more thoroughly.

Lu Cheng flatly refused. He wanted to lead the entire Tiandi Demon Palace from being a demon to becoming a Taoist. At a time when Yan Jinkuan allowed the elders and disciples under his sect to buy out their years of service, how could he continue to accept a large number of disciples?

Although he rejected the Fire Spirit Lord, Lu Cheng still had a good private relationship with him.

Although this Fire Spirit Lord was born into the demon world and used ruthless means on his way to the top, after becoming a Demon Lord he was able to cultivate his character and improve his conduct, and no longer just fought and did things to the extreme.

This person not only has great magical powers, but also accepted a girl with outstanding qualifications as his disciple in his early years.

He married her hundreds of years later. It is said that his wife's magical power is higher than his. The Fire Spirit God also has two concubines, who are also extremely powerful demons.

Buddhism says that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly.

Many people don’t understand why a wicked person can become a Buddha by laying down his butcher knife, while a good person has to go through a lot of suffering before becoming a Buddha.

In fact, it is difficult for Buddhism to explain the truth here directly.

To put it bluntly, it’s just about the two words “magic power”.

An ordinary mortal, without any magical power, who picks up a butcher knife and kills only one or a dozen people, cannot even be called a demon, he is just doing evil.

But for a Nascent Soul Demon Lord like the Fire Spirit Lord, when he put down his butcher knife, he saved hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. The difference in merits and virtues is huge.

The Fire Spirit God has two concubines, both of whom are from the devil's origin, with little regard for ethical principles, and the Fire Spirit God has been obsessed with spiritual practice for many years.

Among them was a concubine who could not bear the loneliness and had an affair. However, when the Fire Spirit God came out of retreat and learned about this, he did not kill her body or extract her soul to burn in the devil's fire for ten thousand years. Instead, he sent her to another place to live alone.

Lu Cheng did not comment on this choice, but this incident itself shows that although the Fire Spirit God was born in the devil's way, he already has the ability of self-control of a righteous cultivator. Such a demon is scary, because he can go against his own nature, and he is more likely to control the magic power.
