Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 332: Disordering Yin and Yang, Reversing the Universe (Please subscribe!)
Inside the Wheel of Reincarnation, golden and red light flickered and illuminated the heaven and earth. One after another, golden-bodied gods descended from the sky with solemnity and majesty, just like the ancient heavenly soldiers and generals descending to the mortal world again.

Taoist Deng Dongyuan's Seven Sacred Secret Magic and Taoist Shiqi's Xuanyin Corpse Refining Technique are both the essence of Taoism in the Tongxuan Realm and the top magic formulas in the world.

Unfortunately, neither of them had truly cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, they were only half a step away. Lu Cheng accidentally obtained these two Taoist techniques, integrated them with what he had learned, and truly advanced half a step, creating a unique Taoist skill.

These eighteen golden men were the eighteen golden corpses of Taoist Shiqi back then. Lu Cheng used the Seven Sacred Magic Lamps to refine their filthy bodies. The path of corpse path and drought demon was too difficult and obscure. Lu Cheng's own corpse path cultivation was not high, so it was impossible for him to take this path. Unless Taoist Shiqi back then came back to life, there would be a glimmer of hope.

What's more, even if the Taoist Shiqi was resurrected, it would be impossible if all the eighteen golden corpses were transformed. What's more, all the eighteen golden corpses would be destroyed, and their energy would be concentrated to transform one of them into a drought demon and become the Taoist Shiqi's natal corpse.

The eighteen golden corpses themselves already have weak spiritualities. After sharing life and death for thousands of years, they themselves may not be willing to choose this path.

Lu Cheng used his great power to break their filthy corpses and put the eighteen true spirits into the Samsara Banner. The deified generals would be worshipped by Chi Jun with incense.

Although he did not achieve the unparalleled ferocity of Hanba, at least the true spirits of the eighteen golden corpses were all preserved and flew at a low altitude. There may be opportunities for further progress in the future.

Lu Cheng had previously participated in the Great Tribulation of the Millennium and the Tribulation of the Demon God. He personally killed the sixth-rank demon king and, together with the cultivators from the Tongxuan Realm, supported the Great Samsara Gangsha Hezhen Formation, saving hundreds of millions of living beings in southern Xinjiang.

He himself has great merits and great destiny, and in his Taoist practice, he has also fulfilled his promise to Chi Jun.

The backlash of the soul-refining technique was greatly reduced. A thousand years later, the demon god descended again. Even if Lu Cheng failed to protect Tongxuan Realm and Southern Xinjiang that time, the remaining little divine power would not be enough to hurt him now. What's more, how could Lu Cheng's cultivation level a thousand years later be the same as it is now?

The belief in Chi Jun spread throughout the southern region of the Tang Dynasty. The faith was inexhaustible and was even expanding. Lu Cheng was unable to refine all of the divine power himself, so he distributed it to the eighteen golden corpse spirits to help them transform their divine bodies.

At this moment, these eighteen heavenly soldiers and generals transformed into a Taoist killing move of Lu Cheng.

Golden gods hundreds of feet tall descended from the sky one after another. The golden light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire Dharma realm.

Their faces were different, some happy, some sad, some angry, some laughing, and they each raised their palms. Eighteen golden wind divine fires swirled in the banners, echoing each other. They were good at fighting and had a tacit understanding with each other. The power of the eighteen gods joining forces was layered.

The fire of refining burned fiercely in the hands of the golden general, distorting the surrounding space.

The sixth-rank ghost cultivator knew it was difficult to withstand after a few moves. Although his face was expressionless, his body was shaking violently, because he knew that once he was refined by these golden men, it would mean eternal destruction.

Therefore, all of a sudden, the figure of this sixth-rank ghost cultivator suddenly exploded, with its original body as the center, and millions of black and gray shadows shot out in all directions.

This is the ghost cultivator's means of escaping. As long as there is a ghost shadow left, he will be injured but not destroyed, and he will have a chance to recover.

However, those golden generals formed a circle and gathered their magic power. Their golden flames and divine winds gathered into a huge hurricane that rushed into the sky, swallowing up all the sin and filth within the area.

The air was filled with a burning smell, and the ghost's roars and shouts were gradually swallowed up by a more powerful force.

As the last ghost shadow was refined, the light in the banner gradually dimmed. The golden light on the eighteen golden gods flashed and disappeared, as if they had never appeared, leaving only a peaceful and solemn scene.

The Wheel of Reincarnation Banner swayed gently, as if telling what had just happened, but also seemed to be indicating that everything had just begun.

In Tianhai Cave, next to a Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged, a long banner was shaking, and the space was torn apart, spewing out a gray stone.

This thing doesn't have any magical aura at all. Even if you throw it on the street, I'm afraid no one will even take a second look at it.

But Lu Cheng's current spiritual awareness is even higher than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivator. He can sense that there is a huge amount of pure soul power hidden in this stone.

"Heavenly Soul Crystal? According to the Daoist scriptures, this item is a must-have for refining high-level puppets. Unfortunately, not only does my Heaven and Earth Demon Palace not have the sixth-level puppetry inheritance, even those sects that specialize in puppetry don't have many that can absorb this item. But if we can find a suitable buyer, it would be a rare commodity."

It was the first time that Lu Cheng used the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner to drive the Eighteen Divine Generals Formation. He spent a lot of time experimenting and familiarizing himself with the effectiveness and power of the formation.

"Red Heart God is the guardian god of Taoism, the great spiritual officer of the heavenly patrol, responsible for patrolling and punishing the heavens and the human world, in charge of thunder, fire, wind and other forces... The future development direction of these gods should be the same. If they can cultivate the three directions of divine thunder, divine fire, and divine wind to perfection, it will be a terrifying killer even at the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Cheng's practice system is divided into three directions: essence, energy and spirit. Essence refers to constantly refining the body with the Samadhi True Fire to make it indestructible. Even if one fails or suffers a great external disaster, one has the means to bear the damage and save life and be reborn.

Qi refers to the five elements of swordsmanship, boxing, and the cultivation of the five qi.

God refers to divine consciousness, divine arts, and even the eighteen golden divine generals. These three are not isolated, but influence and overlap each other.

Nowadays, the mainstream in the immortal cultivation world is to cultivate Qi. If there is spare energy, it will be diverted to body cultivation, and even spiritual cultivation. Therefore, the most people cultivate Qi, followed by body cultivation, and the least are cultivators who cultivate spirits. However, Lu Cheng is making progress in all three at the same time, laying the most powerful foundation for himself.

"Master Lu, Master Lu!"

At this time, a spiritual sense swept over, and Lu Cheng also concentrated his spiritual sense to sweep over, only to see that it was Li Ziling, the red-clothed Taoist nun, the Three Immortals of the East China Sea, and the Fire Spirit God who came together.

I think they have already dealt with those skeleton monks and came to look for Lu City.

"It is I who delayed you and slowed down your fellow practitioners' exploration of the Tianhai Cave." Lu Cheng stood up and said while chanting his mantra.

"No way! If it weren't for Master Lu's accurate eyesight, we would have been nearly followed and murdered by that ghost cultivator. Now that he hasn't caught up to us, then we haven't caught up to him. Let's continue on our way."

Li Ziling was smiling and looking friendly. She observed that the nearby rocks were intact and there were no aftermath of the fight, so she thought Lu Cheng had lost him.

This is a normal idea. A sixth-level ghost cultivator can be called a ghost emperor. He is very intelligent and his methods are strange and unpredictable. If a normal cultivator of the same level is not prepared, it is often difficult for him to defeat a ghost cultivator of the same level and he is more likely to be ambushed. What's more, Lu Cheng is at the Jindan realm and is attacking the Yuanying realm. It is not easy to drive him away.

He was just sitting cross-legged in meditation, probably to recuperate from internal injuries.

The seven people continued to fly on the road. The Nascent Soul cultivator had enough energy. While his spiritual sense was scanning the surroundings to search, these people also divided the harvest.

The four withered monks just now were all wearing storage instruments. Because they had been going on for a long time, the restrictions on them had already become extremely weak and could be easily broken.

The Qiankun bags of these four withered monks did not disappoint everyone. Inside them were hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, seven sixth-level magic weapons, four sixth-level talismans, eight jade slips, fourteen high-level spiritual medicines, four bottles of spiritual pills, and some sundry items.

It's a pity that too much time has passed. Not to mention the elixirs, herbs and talismans, even those magic weapons are difficult to activate normally due to the erosion of the long years. However, if we take them back to the sect and slowly polish, nourish and repair them, they should be able to be saved.

This made the Three Immortals of the East China Sea and even the Fire Spirit God's eyes burn with excitement. Before this, where could the cultivators of the Tongxuan Realm see so many sixth-tier magic weapons?

The natal magic weapons of these four Yuanying Zhenjun are all of the sixth-grade lower grade. If they die, others will take away their natal magic weapons, and their realms will definitely be downgraded. None of them is a true sixth-grade lower grade magic weapon.

The eight jade slips were relatively intact. From ancient times to the present, the design and production of jade slips have all been intended to be passed down to future generations. People can die, but the Taoist tradition cannot perish. This is even the obsession of many cultivators.

After thousands of years, all great achievements and legends of immortals will fade away with the passage of time, but the Taoist tradition can be passed down from generation to generation.

"These jade slips are engraved and copied, and everyone has a share. There are exactly seven sixth-level magic weapons, and I've decided to give each person one. As for the others, we will divide them according to the original contract." Li Ziling said.

According to the contract, she could have taken half of all the spiritual objects and had the right of first choice, but Li Ziling's current division was undoubtedly a loss of her own interests, allowing Lu Cheng and Fire Spirit Lord to take an extra share. Obviously, in the eyes of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's chief steward, this little profit was nothing, and it was just right to buy people's hearts.

"No need for that. I haven't done anything, so how can I take away the treasures you have obtained together?"

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Lu, there is no need to say more. Your magical powers are recognized by all the cultivators. If you hadn't discovered that ghost cultivator in time, and if it had followed you for a long time, there would be no guarantee that there would be no accidents. How can a mere sixth-level magic weapon be enough to reward your contribution?"

This was said by Taoist Dongyin, one of the Three Immortals of the East Sea, and it made sense. Even witches and sorcerers in the secular world knew that the longer you were haunted by ghosts, the more dangerous it would be.

This basic principle is the same even for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Cheng accepted the copper spear magic weapon, and at the same time he was somewhat confused and wondered about Li Ziling's purpose.

"This woman has no shortage of elixirs, magic weapons, or skills, so what is her purpose in risking her life to explore the Tianhai Cave? This is not the way to train."

As the seven monks flew away, the entire world gradually became dark. There was no sunlight in this world, but it seemed that there was day and night.

The seven people did not find this unusual. It was the first time for the cultivators to explore the large Dongtian Tongxuan World, but there had been small and medium-sized secret realms in the Tongxuan World before. The operating laws of the heaven and earth within them were often dependent on the operating laws of the main world, with only slight differences in some places.

Therefore, some spiritual creatures that have never appeared in the main world or have become extinct can be born.

Because the heaven and earth are incomplete, some secret spaces are extremely fragile, and cannot even accommodate the entry of Foundation Establishment cultivators, or the entry of Golden Core True Men.

In order to obtain the treasures in these secret realms, these foundation-building cultivators and even Golden Core True Immortals have to train disciples to enter them and take out those spiritual objects that can be used to refine magic weapons, increase their lifespan, or improve their skills.

A low-level secret realm may not necessarily give birth to high-level spiritual creatures. This is not absolute. Moreover, the long period of time that the secret realm has been closed for thousands of years has also left ample time for many spiritual medicines to grow. Although a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng is common, doesn't it mean that the Yuanying Zhenjun doesn't need it?
"It's getting dark so fast!"

At this time, the Fire Spirit Lord raised his head and said something. But no one answered him. The demonic shadow between heaven and earth loomed down, inexplicably weighing down everyone present.

The Fire Spirit God practiced fire magic, which often involves heat, light, and burning. He was the first to speak, and in fact, he was the first to instinctively feel some discomfort.

The darkness all around seemed different from usual.

"This doesn't seem to be normal darkness, but... the will of the law?"

The words of the Fire Spirit God reminded Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng gradually realized that the darkness surrounding him seemed to be draining his mental strength.

Lu Cheng resisted with the circulation of the Five Elements. The Five Elements magic power connected the five internal organs and mobilized the magic power to circulate throughout the body. He felt a little better, but the feeling was only delayed and still existed.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to open his mouth to remind everyone, the red-dressed Taoist nun flying in the front suddenly spoke:

"There is another withered monk ahead, be careful! Little friend Lu, your Dharma eyesight is perfect, so you don't need to take action. Just stay on the high ground and watch the ghosts and gods in all directions!"

Six skeletal monks suddenly flew out from the ruins of a Taoist temple in the mountains ahead. The abandoned Taoist temple was the place where these monks instinctively gathered. They grew up here during their lifetime and would prefer to rest here after their death.

Knowing that these withered bone monks were wealthy, the Three Immortals of the East China Sea and the Lord of Fire Spirit were all cheered up.

But this time, four of the six withered skeleton monks rushed forward and suddenly disappeared without a trace, their figures disappearing into the darkness, but they gave a strong pressure to the monks present.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Lu Cheng felt a sense of danger coming over him.

He opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a golden branch, on which five-colored light was condensed and shining.

Almost at the next moment, a skeletal monk appeared above everyone's heads and punched down. As the fist was raised and swung, countless black air instantly gathered on the tip of its fist. Finally, the punch turned into fist shadows, which fell like a landslide, covering all the monks present.

Lu Cheng just felt a sense of danger but didn't know what it was, so he immediately spat out the Falling Treasure Golden Branch that was cultivated to the sixth level by Wanzai Wood Spirit.

This treasure condenses the five elements and has the power of falling treasures. No matter what kind of attack it faces, it can at least block it for a moment.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although it has not yet completely absorbed and digested the magic power accumulated by the ten thousand years of wood spirit, and is only at the lower sixth level, but at the moment of facing the bone fist, the five-colored light on the Falling Treasure Golden Branch still shines brightly, brushing off the fist force and magic power attacking Lu Cheng.

It flew backwards and turned into a ray of light and flew back to Lu Cheng.

With a moment's buffer, Lu Cheng's entire body merged with the Five Elements Flying Sword, moving and changing in the sky, avoiding the fist shadow and its edge, retreating backwards from the range of the fist shadow and escaping safely.

But Lu Cheng retreated, and it was not so easy for the others to face the close pursuit of a Nascent Soul Realm body cultivator.

The three East China Sea immortals all reacted quickly. Dong Ling flew the sword, Dong Qing held the bell, and Taoist Dong Yin once again offered up the precious pearl.

But as the fist shadow loomed over him, Dong Ling used his sword to counterattack. Although his body flew back, he was able to neutralize the fist and even counterattacked with the sword energy.

Dong Qing and Taoist Dong Yin reacted a little slowly. In addition, each of them used their own magic weapon, neither the green bell nor the bright pearl could increase their expected power. Under the shadow of the fist, the light of the treasure dissipated and they all fell back.

Fist shadows filled the sky and fell, and the Fire Spirit God's figure suddenly turned into a flame. Fire crows flew and spread in the sky, and finally gathered into the image of this Taoist in the distance, but his face was a little pale.

"The mana of these withered monks hasn't increased much, but how come they've become so much more powerful?"

Most people present had this question in their minds, but no one had time to answer him at this moment.

Li Ziling and the Taoist nun in red exchanged a glance, and the Taoist nun in red immediately used all her strength to block the attacks for the cultivators from Tongxuan Realm and stabilize the situation.

"It seems that it is because of the law of the world that these withered monks have undergone some inexplicable changes. Our mental energy has been depleted, but their spirituality has been improved. Their mana has indeed not increased much, but they can use their magical powers in their lifetime better."

The reason why Lu Cheng dared to evade with the Five Elements Flying Sword was because he was also cultivating his body. His skill in cultivating his body and self through the Great Accomplishment Realm of the Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method was almost unrivaled in the Tongxuan Realm.

Even if his unity with sword was broken, Lu Cheng thought that an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator or even a Nascent Soul body cultivator would not be able to kill him with just a few punches.

He avoided the range of the fist of the withered monk and flew out with his sword. The next moment, he was able to break away from the state of unity between man and sword and kill with the Netherworld Flying Sword.

The transition between offense and defense was as smooth as flowing water. Even though the Fire Spirit God on the side suffered some losses and hidden injuries, he couldn't help but cheer in his heart at this moment.

"The two True Lords of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace are so terrifying! The Taoist Huang Longzi has been practicing for 800 years and is the number one Yuanying in this world. This Taoist Lu Cheng looks even more terrifying. His sword intent and sword energy are so sharp that it makes my heart cold. He is only at the Jindan Zhenren realm. How could such a person not be able to cultivate a Yuanying? How terrifying would he be if he cultivated a Yuanying!
I will send my son and daughter to the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace someday. Although I don’t expect my children to be stronger than their grandfather, I’m afraid they will never reach our level if they practice our skills in the Earth Fire Demon Cave.”

Just when the Fire Spirit God was distracted for a moment, a sky full of fist shadows once again covered and bombarded him.
