Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 416: The Wanling Blood Pearl and the Tianyuan Nine Chapter Jade are granted the talisman seal, and the "Xuanmen Dan Ding Lianxing Secret Book" is granted

In the Black Mountain Market, inside a hidden cave.

Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the altar, with nine blood-red orbs floating in front of him.

These beads were completely red, with distorted human faces appearing on their surface like smoke. They were the Blood Pearls of All Spirits that were refined using the bones and blood of the corpses of the Black-Hearted Master and others.

A cultivator who has undergone a tribulation transformation, relying on the memories and resources of his previous life, can cultivate to the level of his previous life in about one or two hundred years. Lu Cheng has cultivated in the Black Mountain Market for a hundred years, and has long been thinking about his own natal magic weapon. During this century of operation, he has already purchased the "Shangqing Falu" of the Shangqing Sect through channels, as well as the embryo of the instrument for refining the Wanling Blood Pearl.

Taiqing Mountain is the best in Taoist tradition, Yuqing Mountain is the purest in Taoism, Shangqing Mountain is the most powerful in Taoism. The Shangqing lineage does not stick to the view of good and evil, believing that people have good and evil but not good and evil. Therefore, "Shangqing Falu" is almost a masterpiece that compiles both Taoist and evil methods, and involves both good and evil Taoist techniques from all schools and factions.

The Blood Pearl of All Souls is one of the fragments of the record. This is a treasure of the magic path. It requires the killing of tens of thousands of people to gather their essence and blood to refine it. The magic is mysterious and powerful. After the book was seized by the monks of Shangqing Mountain, the content was modified to make it a magic weapon for the monks of the magic path to refine. The more evil a person is, the more powerful the Blood Pearl of All Souls will be after it is refined into a treasure.

Shangqing Mountain also intentionally spread this kind of magic formula, causing the phenomenon of demons devouring each other in the evil world to become increasingly serious.

Under such circumstances, it was not difficult for Lu Cheng to obtain the fragments of "Shangqing Falu".

After the All-Spirit Blood Pearl is refined, the resulting All-Spirit Blood Light can enhance many aspects, including body training, swordsmanship, magic, and of course the power of talismans.

"Evils devour each other, and disasters are fought with disasters"

The Taoist lightly stroked with his fingertips, and the cave suddenly became brighter. One hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred talismans emerged from the void, forming a magnificent scripture that enveloped the nine blood beads.

Those distorted human faces suddenly let out shrill howls, and blood light and rune light intertwined and collided, casting strange and intertwined light and shadows on the stone wall.

Inside the cave, Chu Yibai stood quietly by, the star plate in her hand trembling slightly. She was here to determine the auspicious time for her senior brother.

It's destiny that matters, so if you can use some of that power, of course you should.

At this moment, the female cultivator looked at the baby between Lu Cheng's eyebrows, which was gradually covered with a layer of blood light, and could not help but whispered: "Brother, this blood bead has too much evil spirit."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be fire flowing in his pupils.

He opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of real fire, the flames were blue, white, and purple, and it made a hissing sound as it burned the nine blood beads. Every time it burned, the nine blood beads shrank a little, and the faces inside them became clearer and more hideous.

Rumble, rumble, suddenly there was a dull thunder rolling outside the cave.

Feng Xiulun rushed into the cave in a panic, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead: "Master, blood clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above the market. I'm afraid that blood rain will fall when such a magic treasure appears."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of rain could be heard outside the cave.

In just a moment, the entire cave shook violently. Black and red blood oozed out from the cracks in the stone wall, and in an instant it turned into countless bloody hands that grabbed at the altar.

Those bloody hands were covered with eyes, and each one was staring at Lu Cheng.

"The blood evil backfires!"

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, and five sword lights flew out from his sleeves. The five colors of blue, red, white, yellow, and black rotated, which was the Five Elements Sword Formation.

Under the stranglehold of sword energy, those bloody hands shattered one after another, but then reunited in the next moment.

However, the five sword lights also collapsed and turned into densely packed poisonous insects, which once again rushed towards those bloody hands.

The innate magical power of the foundation-building stage is the Dan Gu Yao Sui Fa Ti. Lu Cheng uses it to cultivate his body and restore the foundation of both Fa and body cultivation.

The innate magical power of the Purple Mansion Realm is the Heavenly Demon Killing Sword, which is the art of the insect sword, which enhances the control of the external incarnation over the five elements of poison.

The more Lu Cheng refined the magic treasure, the more bloody hands appeared around him, and they would not stop until Lu Cheng was captured and killed.

When the five elements insect swarms around them gradually couldn't hold on any longer, they suddenly flew up and gathered together again, transforming into a green flying sword with a cold glow.

The Divine Light Sword Technique of a Hundred Poisons and Heavenly Filth, the sword light slashes down like the dark blue underworld, when the fierce light appears, the foul air corrodes the bones and invades the soul, and wherever it shines, all living things are annihilated and magic collapses. Only a dead green light remains between heaven and earth, all life and law are wiped out, returning to nothingness and chaos.

Although it was only the power of one sword, but where the green sword light spread, the endless immortal blood hands in the surroundings were killed, as if they were rotten and melted, and it was difficult to gather into shape again.

"Blood and soul return to one, nine transformations return to the origin."

As Lu Cheng continued to chant spells, the nine blood beads in the cave gradually merged into one. The reason why the "Shangqing Falu" used a secret method to divide the Wanling Blood Pearl into nine was to reduce the backlash and the difficulty of refining. Of course, they had to be combined into one at the last moment.

"Light is the prison, and all the symbols are the locks—"

One hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred luminous talismans transformed into chains that suddenly contracted, sealing all the vital energy in the cave into a blood bead.

The dark red bead suddenly vibrated violently, and the distorted face of a black-hearted person appeared on the surface.

"Young man! Even if my soul is torn apart, I will still pull you out."

"Noisy."

Lu Cheng flicked his finger, and the Samadhi True Fire that was flying in the air suddenly surged. A heart-wrenching scream came from the flames, and the face of the black-hearted man gradually melted, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

"It's done."

At this moment, the dark red blood bead, as warm and smooth as jade, was quietly suspended in the air. There was a talisman flowing inside, and it seemed that there was no evil spirit at all.

Lu Cheng opened his mouth and swallowed the blood bead into his stomach, and suddenly he felt a surge of magic power in his dantian like a rushing river.

Chu Yibai saw that the strange phenomena gradually subsided. She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, saying, "I congratulate Senior Brother Lu for refining the treasure of my life."

"It's just a step on the road. Okay, you guys go down." Lu Cheng looked at the blood rain outside the cave that was gradually subsiding.

Chu Yibai and Feng Xiu Lun bowed their heads and accepted the order, then turned and left.

He let Junior Sister Chu know about this so that he could use her Yi Suan Dao to calculate the auspicious day. He let Feng Xiu Lun know about this because most of the Black Mountain Bandits were killed by him and his cronies, and he also delivered the corpses of those bandits personally. He already knew that he was going to refine the magic treasure, so naturally he was not afraid to use him.

Having betrayed his evil master and wiped out the Black Mountain Bandits as a token of his loyalty, Feng Xiu Lun has made it clear that he cannot turn back, so the Black Mountain House can use him with confidence.

Of course, being able to rely on backers like Heishanfang and Taiqingzong is already the best outcome for someone like Feng Xiulun.

After several generations of operation and meritorious service, they could even send their own children to Xuantian Pavilion as disciples, and eventually be accepted into the Taiqing Sect.

On the platform, Lu Cheng held hands and made hand gestures. His body seemed to gradually turn translucent like glass, with the fire of Samadhi burning inside: his body was like glass, clear inside and out, and the true fire of Samadhi reshaped the Vajra.

The All-Spirit Blood Pearl is extremely powerful, and there seem to be only two difficulties in refining it:

One is to obtain a large number of corpses. The devil uses all living beings as blood sacrifices, and can even kill mortals to refine treasures. The Taiqing lineage uses great devil masters as blood sacrifices. The devil's original refining method has been cut off by the Taiqing lineage.

Second, during the refining process, blood would rise to the sky, and even blood would rain down from the sky, spreading over a thousand miles, and it would be almost impossible to hide. If it was a magic cultivation treasure, it would almost certainly be attacked by righteous cultivators.

But in fact, there are two hidden dangers. One is the growth of inner demons, and the other is the blood poison. For the demon cultivators, this is almost like adding fuel to the fire, and for the righteous cultivators, it is an even more far-reaching hidden danger. Only by using the Great Light Talisman to suppress the inner demons in Lu Cheng and using the Samadhi True Fire to continuously refine the body outside can he be safe.

Lu Cheng's Samadhi True Fire is his original magical power. Now it has reached the sixth-level super-level Taoism and has the power of casting spells by the primordial spirit.

The external incarnation cannot be condensed. What is used at this time is like an object, which is condensed by the main body and then handed over to the external incarnation for use through the Jiuli Ding.

The Dan Gu Yao Sui Dharma Body and the Heavenly Demon Killing Sword all come from the cultivation resources of the original body, while the more advanced Jin Dan Realm innate magical power, the Great Light Talisman Sutra, and the Yuan Ying Realm innate magical power "Talisman Transformation of Heaven and Earth, Talisman Body of All Laws" are gained through cultivation in the Earthly Immortal World.

Lu Cheng consciously cultivated more of his innate magical powers of the mind, so that although his main body could not obtain all of the Great Light Talisman Sutra and the All Dharma Talisman Body, their insights were the same.

'I practiced the Taiqing Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Art and reached the Nascent Soul Realm. I could have condensed my innate magical power, the Nine Qi Returning to the Origin Palm, which is extremely powerful and a sixth-order super-level Taoist method. However, the Wanfa Talisman Body can use talismans to evolve the laws of heaven and earth, which is more conducive to the improvement of my Taoism. What's more, as long as there are enough spirit stones and good deeds to buy seventh-order talismans, no matter how advanced the Nine Qi Returning to the Origin Palm is in the Nascent Soul Realm, it will only be killed by the seventh-order talisman.

The four essentials of cultivation are the law of earth, companions and wealth. But when you reach the earthly immortal realm, you will find that this is even more true.'

For a cultivator who has cultivated the All-Knowing Talisman, having money or not has completely different manifestations of magical powers. If he were in the mortal world of Lu Cheng, he would definitely concentrate on the magical power of the Nine Qi Returning to the Origin Palm, because there are not many seventh-level talismans in the mortal world. But in the earthly immortal world, although the seventh-level talismans are expensive, they can still be bought with spirit stones.

In this way, the merit of the Wanfa Talisman in increasing one's spiritual power will far surpass that of the Nine Qis Returning to the Origin Palm.

……

A few years later, a young Taoist came to the foot of Taiqing Immortal Mountain. Looking up, he saw the sky beyond the thirty-three heavens shrouded in clouds and mist, and the fairy clouds were like silk. The nine immortal mountains were suspended in the sky, like a splash-ink landscape painting.

Spiritual birds were flying in the mountains, cranes were calling, and countless pavilions and towers were hidden in the sea of ​​clouds, just like the fairyland in the legend. "This is Taiqing Fairy Mountain..." Lu Cheng took a deep breath, feeling the rich spiritual energy coming towards him, which was more than a hundred times richer than the Black Mountain Market.

He straightened his clothes and stepped onto the white jade steps leading to the mountain gate.

"Who is coming?" Not long after walking, a cold voice came from the clouds.

Lu Cheng stopped and saluted: "Disciple Lu Cheng, I have been ordered to return to the mountain to report my position."

His voice was clear and echoed among the empty sea of ​​clouds.

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds in front suddenly parted, revealing a long staircase paved with green jade, leading straight to the depths of the clouds.

The Taoist walked forward and climbed the stairs. With every step he took, the green jade under his feet rippled with light.

In the sea of ​​clouds on both sides, golden runes appeared from time to time and disappeared in an instant - this was the manifestation of the Taiqing Sect's mountain protection formation. Without the token of a true disciple, even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation or Return to Void realm would be crushed to pieces if he trespassed.

After passing through, they saw two Taoists coming to greet them, one male and one female. The male cultivator was fresh and handsome, while the female cultivator was elegant and refined, both of them were like immortals.

"Qinglian."

"white crane."

"I've met senior brother."

"My dear senior brother, I am sorry for being so rude. There are seven disciples in your generation who have been selected as true disciples. A grand ceremony will be held in Xuanzhen Hall in three days. Please go to the Jingshe to rest for three days."

For those who practice Taoism, three days pass in the blink of an eye. Lu Cheng agreed with what he heard and followed the two Taoist disciples, Qinglian and Baihe, to the temple to meditate.

Three days later, the usually quiet and peaceful Taiqing Mountain Gate Fairyland gradually became lively, and many high-level cultivators returned to watch the ceremony.

After Lu Cheng bathed and changed his clothes, he followed Daozi's instructions and walked to the end of the long steps. A magnificent palace made entirely of black jade stood before him.

The palace gate is nine zhang high, with carvings of the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers on it. In the middle, the three ancient seal characters "Xuanzhen Palace" exude a heart-pounding aura.

"come in."

A deep and powerful voice came from the hall, seeming far and near, as if it came from the sky above, and like a whisper in the ear.

Lu Cheng straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked in.

The lighting in the hall was moderate, with seventy-two ancient bronze lamps suspended in the air. The flames were bluish-white, making the murals on the four walls flicker.

Those murals record the stories of the successive masters of the Taiqing Sect who attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. The brushwork is simple and the style is vivid.

Walking into the hall, there were already many cultivators. Some of them had auras as deep as the sea and as high as the sky, while some were just like ordinary people in the mortal world. At the end of the hall, there were already several true disciples wearing the same clothes as Lu Cheng was wearing today standing quietly waiting. Of course, there were still some who had not arrived yet, and they were coming from other roads.

At the end of the hall, there was a figure standing with his back to the hall door.

The man had a jade hairpin with a crane pattern on his head, a long sword slung diagonally on his back, and a dust whisk in his hand. His long hair was as black as ink and hung to his waist. He exuded a suffocating aura, as if he did not belong to this mortal world.

"Disciple pays respect to Uncle Master Xuan Zhenzi."

Lu Cheng stepped forward and saluted respectfully, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Although Uncle Master Xuan Zhenzi did not deliberately release his pressure, the sharpness honed through countless battles still made him feel uneasy.

"Black Mountain has been here for a hundred years. You have done a good job in rebuilding the market and recovering the losses for the sect and creating a source of income."

Xuan Zhenzi turned slowly, revealing a sharp-edged face.

He looked to be about forty years old, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a nose like a hanging gall bladder. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes - they were a pair of grey pupils that seemed to contain endless murderous intent.

When he saw this, Lu Cheng felt his soul tremble, and the Nascent Soul in his body appeared involuntarily. Light symbols circulated around his body, and only then did he calm down.

The cultivator in front of him who is at the fusion stage is already close to the peak of this world.

"Well, he has actually cultivated the Ten Thousand Talisman Body."

Xuan Zhenzi was not surprised, but nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder you have been able to survive for a hundred years in such a wild and dangerous place like Black Mountain. It seems that Junior Brother Yu Ding has a good eye. You are indeed qualified to inherit my Taiqing Zhenchuan."

While Lu Cheng was talking with Xuan Zhenzi, several other true disciples had entered the hall one by one.

Then, Xuan Zhenzi waved his sleeves, and twenty-one streams of light fell from the top of the hall, flickering in front of the seven true disciples.

Among them are naturally the seven true teachings of the Taiqing Sect and the fourteen branch inheritances.

"Lu Cheng, I am willing to teach you the "Taiqing Xuanshu Secret Bright Talisman Scripture" and the Tianyuan Nine Chapter Jade Talisman Seal. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, the other six true disciples present looked at Lu Cheng with extremely envious eyes.

Even if they are all true disciples, most of them start from the fourteen branches and accumulate merits before they can learn the seven great true teachings, unless they are extremely talented or have made great contributions to their master:

Many times it is not that the sect is reluctant to pass on the unique skills, but that many people only have 30 or 40 years of Taoism. They first learn the branch inheritance and gradually accumulate Taoism to 70 or 80 years before they can learn the true skills. Otherwise, it is difficult to get started and it is also a difficult time.

But of course other people envied Lu Cheng. The fact that he could directly learn the seven true teachings showed that he had already reached a high level of Taoism and at least saved himself hundreds or even thousands of years of hard practice.

The Seven True Teachings of Taiqing Sect:
"Taichuang Ziwei Daodejing" - the fundamental law of the sect, leading directly to ascension;

"Taiqing Jiuzhuan Mahayana Jue" - Taoist secret method, the orthodox Xuanmen;

"Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword Refining Manual" - unparalleled killing, sword breaks all laws;

"Xuanmen Danding Lianxing Secret Book" - Refining the body and cultivating the self, realizing the truth;

"Secrets of the Principle of Hunyuan Yiqi" - Harmonizing Yin and Yang, returning all things to their origin;

"The Secret Scripture of the Light of the Taiqing Mysterious Pivot" - Enlighten the mind and realize the truth, suppress demons and control talismans.

"Secrets of the Circulation of Qi in the Stars" - Changes in the Circulation of Qi, from the mortal to the immortal;

Among the seven true teachings, the "Taiqing Xuanshu Secret Light Talisman Sutra" is the easiest to obtain, because this technique is the most difficult to practice. Lu Cheng was able to rely on some of the classics that have been passed down to cultivate the Great Light Talisman Sutra and the Ten Thousand Talismans Body, so it is reasonable that he was able to be awarded this skill.

"Disciple, I want to learn the "Xuanmen Danding Lianxing Secret Book." However, Lu Cheng bowed and said something that surprised everyone present.

"good."

However, Xuan Zhenzi nodded without any hesitation and actually agreed to the matter.

He stretched out his hand and the "Xuanmen Danding Lianxing Secret Book" flew out from the light column and fell into his palm. He then took out a crystal white jade seal.

"This is the Tianyuan Nine Chapter Jade Talisman Seal, a fifth-level top-grade magic weapon, condensed by the hard work of predecessors, and it complements the "Bright Talisman Scripture" you are practicing."

When Lu Cheng got the jade seal, he felt his palm sink. Upon closer inspection, he found that the seal was engraved with nine chapters of heavenly books, each with a different style, some with cloud patterns, some with star maps, and some with talismans, which were extremely mysterious.

The seal button is an image of a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged, his features blurred but with an air of detachment.

Originally, the natal magic weapon should be refined by oneself. However, the Taiqing Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, and naturally there are high-level monks who have died in external disasters. Some of them returned to the mountain gate, and before they passed away, they dispersed the imprint of their self in the magic weapon, which then became the foundation of the sect.

"Thank you, uncle, for the treasure."

Lu Cheng was about to salute, but Xuan Zhenzi raised his hand to stop him.

"Every sip and bite is predestined. Since you have accumulated so much merit, the sect will naturally reward you. Similarly, if you commit evil deeds in the future and harm the sect, the flying sword will come to you one day and will not show mercy."

Lu Cheng was startled when he heard this, then he bowed and said, "Disciple will follow the master's instruction."

Xuan Zhenzi has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, and his heart is perfect. Naturally, everything he does has its reasons.
