Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 385: Dan Yuan Meeting, Jie Fa Da Zhenjun
In Haiyuan City, dawn breaks.

Thousands of feet of rosy clouds rose from the surface of the eastern sea, reflecting the golden ripples on the city defense formation.

Lu Cheng stood on the cliff of Canglong Mountain with his hands behind his back, his plain Taoist robe rustling. The Taoist flying sword hanging from his waist emitted a faint glow, frightening all the monsters within a hundred miles away so much that they instinctively retreated in panic.

At this moment, there were many long tables and jade desks placed in front of the pavilion on the cliff, as if they were preparing to entertain guests.

"Reporting to the master, the five sects' true masters have arrived at the Golden Light Cave." At this moment, the disciple Shi Sheng came on a cloud, carrying a pair of black and white swords on his back. After so many years of experience, a hint of fierceness finally appeared between the brows of this disciple.

It is too difficult to get started with Lu Cheng's Five Elements Sword. Ever since Miao Chuyun cultivated the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Sword Infant, Shi Sheng also turned to this sword path, controlling two swords at the same time, and his future is also bright.

At this moment, the sound of a clear crane cry was heard in the sky, followed by five beams of light tearing through the clouds. The first one was none other than Master Liu Song from the Huangji Sect, the largest of the five sects in Haiyuan City. The following four beams of light each contained a person, both male and female, young and old. They were Master Shao Chenxuan from the Fuhai Sect, Yun Haiji from the Raolong Sect, Lu Muchen from the Chiyan Sect, and Mi He from the Feiling Sect.

"Daoyou Lu is feared by everyone in the Fiery World and is known as the Great True Lord of Jie Fa. This time, he is opening up the Mysterious Sea Territory. It would have been impossible without Daoyou's Jie Fa magical power."

Master Liu Song of the Huangji Sect had not arrived yet, but his powerful voice had already arrived.

Over the past two hundred years, although Lu Cheng had tried to keep a low profile, avoid being contaminated by calamity, and practice hard, he still made a great name for himself, especially the battle in which he killed Taoist Huoyun in the battle formation outside Haiyuan City.

Although most of the cultivators could not see the soul taking action above the dome, it was true that the Taoist Huoyun killed several True Lords in Haiyuan City.

The late Nascent Soul cultivators are honored as "great monks" because their magic power and spiritual awareness far exceed those of the early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as they practice a few powerful secret techniques or possess powerful magic weapons, they often have the combat power to kill Nascent Soul cultivators.

Unlike normal Nascent Soul cultivators fighting, even if they are defeated, they can often retreat safely, or at least their Nascent Soul can escape.

Although Master Lu from the Jinguan Cave in Canglong Mountain doesn't have enough magic power, his supernatural powers are almost comparable to those of the great monks. In addition, he broke the heavenly fire calamity a hundred years ago, so over time, he gradually gained the reputation of "Master Lu of the Disaster Law".

Faced with such a cultivator, even though the cultivators from the five sects in Haiyuan City had been entrenched for many years and had a deep foundation, they did not want to offend him easily, and even wanted to use his power to gain benefits for themselves.

"Please come in, everyone. My wife has prepared a simple meal for you all, knowing that you are coming. Let's drink and talk."

As maids in palace costumes walked out one after another, spiritual food was laid out: spiritual fish, spiritual duck, fresh fruits and vegetables, fat and tender pork, and fragrant wine.

People who practice Taoism are usually not greedy for food, but at this moment, looking at the spiritual food on the jade table, even the cultivators from the five sects in Haiyuan City couldn't help but feel their appetites excited.

There was also Lu Muchen from the Red Flame Sect, whose life path had been cut short and who was addicted to pleasure. He was also a glutton and hurriedly sat down to enjoy the food.

Long-term consumption of this kind of spiritual object can nourish the meridians of the cultivator and strengthen the cultivator's essence.

"Well, Qingtan Spirit Fish, Black Water Fat Duck, Chen's Fragrant Pig, Bitter Leaf Spirit Wine, Great Jie Fa True Lord is so polite, I, Lu, will respectfully obey your orders. Tsk tsk... Even if it is dragon liver and phoenix marrow, I am afraid it is no more than this.

Even the side dishes are served with the honey jelly of the auspicious jade bee, which is really exquisite.”

Haiyuan City is a gathering place for cultivators from all realms, and there are many spiritual creatures. However, in the past two hundred years, some superior spiritual creatures have stood out and gained considerable fame.

The fifth-level spiritual objects such as Jade Bee Jelly and Qingtan Spirit Fish, and the sixth-level spiritual object such as Bitter Leaf Spirit Wine are of this type. They are all special spiritual objects of Canglong Mountain and have earned countless spirit stones for the Canglong Mountain lineage over the years.

In fact, the sixth-rank spiritual creature, the Black Water Duck, is also one of them. However, this kind of spiritual bird feeds on the Dongji locusts and gradually forms a population. Lu Cheng is worried that someone might taste it and cause unnecessary trouble, so he concealed the place where the spiritual creature is produced.

As for Chen's fragrant pigs, they were a fifth-level specialty of Haiyuan City many years ago. Lu Cheng spent a lot of money to buy some fine breeds from the Chen family and put them into the Jiuli Cauldron. Now they have become wild, but Lu Cheng signed a spiritual contract with the Chen family to promise that he would never sell these fragrant pigs in the Fiery Realm, so as not to conflict with the Chen family's business.

Otherwise, given how much importance the Chen family places on this kind of spiritual creature, it is very likely that even if all the members of the Chen family were killed, they would not be able to force them to hand over the secret cultivation methods and fine varieties.

After all, large immortal cultivation families often have secret branches, and the secret techniques of their own family are the result of the hard work of their ancestors.

"As a member of Haiyuan City, I am of course willing to contribute to Haiyuan City, but my family is very small, and I always feel uneasy without them. I heard that there is a war magic weapon that has been replaced in the Huangji Sect, called the Linglong Jade Tower. I wonder if you are willing to give it up?"

After hearing what Lu Cheng said, Master Liu Song, who had a rare good appetite, suddenly felt that the fragrant pork in his mouth was no longer sweet and delicious.

A war weapon is a large weapon that is activated by the combined strength of everyone, and even the power of spirit stones. It is said that it can deliver a full-strength attack comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator!
A war magic weapon is a large magic weapon of the same type that is above level five. Given Lu Cheng's identity, what he asked for was certainly not a level five magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are asking too much. Do you know how much manpower and material resources our sect spent on building the Linglong Jade Pagoda? Every item of the elixir, weapon, and talisman array must be deeply involved. If this treasure is fully activated, even a great cultivator will be in trouble.

In this sea-breaking battle, you only want the Linglong Jade Tower and nothing else?"

To build a magic weapon of war, one needs a strong sect and it cannot be accomplished by one person alone, unless the cultivator has multiple inheritances such as fifth-level alchemist, fifth-level weapon refiner, fifth-level talisman maker, fifth-level formation master, etc. Under normal circumstances, it will never be sold.

However, the Huangji Sect has prospered in recent years and is building new large-scale war magic weapons. As a result, the Linglong Jade Tower will be eliminated. If it can really get the full support of the Great Jiefa True Lord in front of it, it may not be a loss.

After all, there is a difference between possessing the magical powers of a great cultivator by gathering the strength of many cultivators and being a true great cultivator.

"I want 60% of the original reward for hunting monsters, but I am willing to pay 40% of the cost of your clan refining the exquisite jade tower."

"...How can this be possible?" Liu Song served as the deputy leader of the Huangji Sect and had enough authority to immediately argue with Lu Cheng.

But if there is something to debate, it means there is room for discussion.

Three hundred miles west of here is one of the seventy-two peaks of Canglong Mountain, with maple trees all over the mountain, their frosted leaves looking like fire.

Wan Feiyu arrived through the clouds on a black dragon bone boat. The newly hung Yuanying Elder jade token on his waist reflected the autumn sun, emitting a green halo.

He held two black water ducks in his left hand and two pots of hundred-year-old bitter leaf wine in his right hand. His Taoist robe was specially fumigated with ambergris, and even his white hair at the temples was specially combed. There was even a hint of nervousness in his expression.

"Fairy Miao, can you practice in seclusion in the cave?" He stopped in front of a restriction outside a mountain and asked loudly. He had admired Miao Chuyun since he first saw her a hundred years ago, but only after he himself became a Nascent Soul did he come forward to express his feelings.

Yuanying Zhenjun, with a life span of 2,000 years, can turn a calamity. For most of the geniuses, this level of Taoism is already the limit of this life. The cave restriction in front of him suddenly rippled with ice and fire, and then a female cultivator with an iron crown stepped out with a sword.

A hundred years of time did not leave any marks on her brow, but instead made her sword energy more pure. After she became a Nascent Soul, she chose one of the seventy-two peaks to build a cave, and devoted herself to practicing and cultivating.

"Since fellow Daoist Wan has been ranked as a True Lord, you should know that my cave does not receive outsiders." Miao Chuyun has only traveled as a disciple of Lucheng in recent years, and his cave has never received outsiders except for his fellow disciples.

“Don’t be upset, fairy! I spent a lot of effort to buy these two black water ducks. They can clear away heat, detoxify, nourish yin and replenish deficiency, and are the best to overcome inner demons.” Before he finished speaking, Wan Feiyu saw three ice and fire swords coming at him in the shape of a “品” (a character in Chinese), forcing him back thirty feet.

With a clang, the ancient pine tree on the cliff behind Wan Feiyu broke, and the broken surface was covered with frost and scorch marks.

Miao Chuyun stood on the sword light, with a shadow of ice and fire appearing faintly behind him: "Each sect has its own rules, and each person has his own preferences. The sword just now was just a warning. I hope you won't hurt yourself."

After saying that, Miao Chuyunfei returned to her own cave. In front of Lu Cheng and her fellow apprentices, this woman was not like this, but in front of Wan Feiyu, she was as cold as a sword, not giving the other party any room for maneuver.

That night, the Golden Court Fairy Palace.

Xiao Yuhong washed out a cloth and handed it to Lu Cheng, asking him to wipe his cheek and body.

Lu Cheng's physical body gradually became indestructible, but he was not unconscious. On the contrary, his perception became more acute. This perception was subtle rather than magnified. For example, at this moment he could feel the heat from the towel penetrating through the pores of his skin and causing a tiny effect on his own qi, blood and meridians.

It can even be said that the more skilled a person is in body refining, the better he knows how to maintain and nourish the body, and some demonic body refining is not one of them.

"Your favorite disciple almost killed Master Wan of Raolong Sect. He was a new Master of Raolong Sect after all. Chu Yun was too direct."

"Chu Yun can find a Taoist partner if she wants to, and she doesn't have to. She has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and has completed her studies in any sect. She knows exactly what path she should take in the future, and I will not make choices for her.

Instead of worrying about this, Gu Yunge wrote to me some time ago, saying that the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference will be held soon, which happens once every hundred years and cannot be missed. Moreover, the relationship between Haiyuan City and the sea monster cultivators will become greatly tense again. If you miss this event, you will not be able to participate for at least hundreds of years in the future.

You and Yuxue should pack up and think about what Taoist books and spiritual objects you need."

The five factions of Haiyuan City decided to restart the war of development. The ostensible reason was to fight for living space for the human race, but the actual purpose, of course, was to fight for the countless monsters and spiritual creatures in the sea.

And after hundreds and thousands of years of efforts, the five factions of Haiyuan City have formed alliances and have accumulated huge conflicts among the monsters of the East China Sea, pulling one group to fight another and dividing another.

After all, humans collectively refer to all inhuman creatures as demon cultivators or demon race, but sheep demons and tiger demons do not consider themselves to be from the same race. It's just that many times when facing the pressure from human cultivators, they have to join forces to survive.

Therefore, the human cultivators in Haiyuan City can also participate in the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference, which is held once every century and contains countless rare treasures. However, the degree of danger will increase significantly if they participate after the war begins.

There is no long-distance teleportation array from Haiyuan City to Wan Yao Island.

This long distance can only be covered by the cultivator's own flying.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng has a magical weapon called the Purple Cloud Boat, which is specially used for traveling. The sixth-grade intermediate-grade boat is best at traveling on the road, and its mana consumption is extremely low compared to its speed.

There were many high-level cultivators on the Purple Cloud Boat, including Lu Cheng, his wives, concubines, disciples, Lu Chengfeng, and Zui Daoren.

This Ten Thousand Demons Conference is also an opportunity for cultivators. Human cultivators and demon cultivators have different perceptions of the value of items, so perhaps you can find a great opportunity of your own among them.

Of course, there are also countless aquatic monsters running rampant in the sea. Even if a cultivator is in the realm of true person, he will die if he encounters any misfortune or carelessness when going to the Island of Ten Thousand Monsters.

Lu Chengfeng and the Drunken Taoist are using their magic power to control the spirit boat.

Inside the cabin, Xiao Yuxue was sitting on a cushion, using her magic power to refine a small tower as white as mutton-fat jade.

This treasure, of course, is the Linglong Jade Tower, a magic weapon of war.

The Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, together with Miao Chuyun and Yuwen Zheng, these six people are enough to activate the Linglong Jade Tower to protect themselves. Although they cannot exert its full power, at least Lu Cheng does not have to be distracted.

For the sake of this magic weapon, Lu Cheng signed many spiritual contracts. If he didn't want to suffer great losses in the future, he had to participate in this war to open up the Xuanming Sea with all his strength.

"But the cultivators from the five sects of Haiyuan City don't know that I have an agreement with Gu Yunge. In any case, the merit of killing the Ice Phoenix is ​​enough to complete most of the spiritual contract. Why not exchange it for the Linglong Jade Tower?"

Several days passed like this, and when Lu Cheng was meditating with his eyes closed on the flying boat, he suddenly opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw a faint glow of fire inside. He saw dark clouds rolling outside the cabin, accompanied by a tsunami as huge as a mountain, which was crashing down on him.

"With so many of us Yuanying cultivators, how dare you come and provoke us? Could it be some mindless beast from the sea?"

With a thought, Lu Cheng had already escaped onto the deck.

What he saw was a sea turtle as big as a mountain, riding the waves with its eyes full of red, rushing towards the Purple Cloud Boat. It was unknown how many years this old turtle had been practicing. Lu Cheng escaped and just saw that the sky was full of flashing and surging purple lightning, all of which were summoned by its demonic power.

Today, it was Lu Cheng's disciples who were controlling the spirit boat. With their magic power at a loss, the Purple Cloud Boat was caught in the storm in a hurry. It was difficult for them to cast spells to protect the Purple Cloud Boat, and they didn't even have the energy to issue a warning.

The Netherworld Flying Sword flew out of its sheath with a slight flash, transforming into twenty-four streaks of sword light, like a rainbow pouring down to the ground, slashing directly down from the sky.

The most mysterious and bizarre thing was that the purple lightning in the sky seemed to be attracted by something and quickly gathered on all sides of the Netherworld Flying Sword, and the lightning and sword became one.

With Lu Cheng's talent in swordsmanship, he could gradually master the Zigang Xuansha Leiguang Sword Technique, even if it was a seventh-level Yuanshen Sword Technique. The sword lights were like thousands of dragons and snakes, moving nimbly in the air, looking for the flaws in the Qi of the giant turtle in front of him and attacking them.

After just a few strikes, the giant turtle was in pain and roared in anger.

During this process, Lu Cheng also noticed the giant turtle's confused and dim eyes, as if it was covered by some kind of fog, so that it had lost all its intelligence.
