Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 433: The Great Dao of Innate Power, the Origin of All Changes and Order

"Ahhhhh..."

The dark clouds over the Ghost Crying Abyss gradually dissipated.

The cries and screams of the Worry-Free Demon Lord gradually became weaker and were finally drowned out by the sound of thousands of insects gnawing at the five-colored poisonous insects.

The demon who once dominated all seven realms had now turned into a pile of white bones. Not even his Nascent Soul could escape and was torn apart and devoured by the poisonous insects.

Normally, this would not happen, but there was a faint layer of Hundred Poisons Heavenly Filth Divine Light attached to Lu Cheng's five-colored poisonous insects. After being bitten by the Ten Thousand Poisonous insects, Demon Lord Wuyou was deeply poisoned, and in the last moments, the poison had already invaded his mind, making him deranged and therefore exhausted to death.

But even so, he still took away tens of thousands of poisonous insects from Lucheng.

A cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage can already draw magic power from the laws he has mastered to form his own spiritual magic power. If the Nascent Soul magical power domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator only affects the laws, then the Spiritual Transformation stage has already entered the initial level of control.

The struggle of Demon Lord Wuyou before his death caused the vital energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles to shake violently, as if the whole world was also mourning the death of a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm.

The five elements poisonous insects retreated like the tide, revealing the white bones in the center.

The flesh, blood, and primordial spirit of Demon Lord Wuyou have been completely devoured, and even the chance of reincarnation and cultivation no longer exists.

There were still wisps of black air wrapped around the white bones, but they gradually melted away in the sunlight, making a hissing sound.

Lu Cheng stood in the clouds with his hands behind his back, his Taoist robe fluttering. He stretched out his hand and the fallen seventh-level magic banner flew into his palm.

The devil's banner was icy cold to the touch, and its surface was as black as ink, but one could vaguely see countless distorted faces struggling and wailing in it.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is a classic magic weapon used by the demonic cultivators. As long as enough living souls are sacrificed into it, its power is quite high and it is relatively easy to refine.

Lu Cheng closed his eyes slightly, recalling the battle just now:
'Old Demon Wuyou, you should have comprehended the laws of Yin, death, darkness, and darkness. When a cultivator begins to cultivate immortality, he will go through the stages of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, and the stages of Purple Mansion and Golden Core, before reaching the Nascent Soul stage with his own realm. When he enters the Nascent Soul stage, he will come into contact with the original power of the world and begin to influence and control the vitality of the world.

When one reaches the Spiritual Transformation Realm, one must comprehend the laws of one's own thousand-year cultivation. One can continuously draw mana from the laws and integrate it into one's own mana, forming a unique Primordial Spirit/Spiritual Transformation mana.'

'The Samadhi True Fire can break the law, burn the soul, and refine the body. The old demon Wuyou can still display the magical power of substituting disaster under my True Fire Magic Knife. He must be relying on his own primordial spirit magic power to control his own magic weapon and avoid death.

There was also the Nine Yin Dragon Seal Characters method that he performed later. He used his own magical power to draw on the Yin energy from the Ghost Crying Abyss, and the combination of inside and outside was truly powerful.

But Jin Ling was more clever. She attacked suddenly, like a roc rising up with the wind, soaring up to nine thousand miles, using up all her magic power in two moves. This could not be accomplished without the Yuanshen realm and the demon body. She broke the Nine Yin Dragon Seal with one move and severely injured the old demon Wuyou with another move. Otherwise, this battle would have been a stalemate for at least a long time, and even if she sacrificed the Five Elements Gu worm, more than ten times the number would have died.'

"Master!"

Miao Chuyun and Shi Sheng flew forward, still with surprise on their faces. Although they knew that their master had profound Taoist skills, they didn't expect that he could actually kill the demon cultivator with his soul.

Especially Miao Chuyun, the fire in her eyes almost became tangible. The style of her master's sword that cut through all things was deeply engraved in her sword heart.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng nodded slightly and swept his eyes across the battlefield below.

At this time, all the monks under the command of the old demon Tiansha had been killed. Although Zhou Bingyong and others suffered some injuries, their lives were safe.

The Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen, and Yun Ling'er were collecting the flags of the Four Symbols Formation. When they saw him looking at them, they all smiled.

"Lord Lu is so powerful, I am in awe and willing to follow him and join the Baoguang Chamber of Commerce!" Zhou Bingyong led five Nascent Soul cultivators forward and bowed to the ground. The purple-robed old man's voice trembled slightly, with both the relief of surviving a disaster and the excitement of avenging a great revenge:
"It is a great honor to witness the True Lord slay the demon today!"

Lu Cheng smiled when he heard this: "No need to be polite, fellow Taoists. This battle was won only because of your concerted efforts."

"The thousand-year savings of the Heavenly Demon Lord are all here." At this time, Lu Cheng's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every cultivator present:

"According to the prior agreement, you can enter and explore. You need to hand in the spiritual objects you obtain, but you can get 20% of the market value of the spiritual objects."

"Your Majesty is so righteous!" Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present were overjoyed.

Because except for the relatives and disciples brought by Yuanying Zhenjun such as Zhou Bingyong and Wei Yunrui, the other subordinates of Baoguang Chamber of Commerce had already received generous rewards when they came here, and now they can make more money, so they are naturally happy.

Although they have to hand in spiritual objects and can only get 20% of the market value of the spiritual objects, it is dangerous to use the spiritual objects of the magic cultivators directly. No one knows whether those elixirs and magic weapons are secretly made by the devil, so it is a good thing to pass them on.

Lu Cheng distributed the treasures of Guikuyuan to the monks who participated in this battle, both to reward them for their efforts and to consolidate his own prestige.

As for Lu Cheng himself, he put the Qiankun bag and magic flag of Wuyou Demon Lord into his sleeves. The harvest from this alone must be several times more than the treasures in Guikuyuan.

The old monster Tiansha has been controlled by his master, Demon Lord Wuyou, for many years. Even if he has accumulated some wealth, it is at most floating wealth. The bulk of it must be with Demon Lord Wuyou.

Wuhuo Cliff, Guiyuan Cave.

In the cave where red clouds were rising, Taoist Huo Juezi with red hair and beard walked quickly through the winding jade path, tapping the jade pendant on his waist lightly, making quick and crisp sounds.

The usually calm senior brother of Guiyuan Cave now had a frown on his face, holding a jade slip tightly in his sleeve.

"Master!"

Huo Juezi called out loudly as soon as he stepped into the cave, and his voice echoed among the red copper bells hanging on the dome.

Seven flame lamps burned spontaneously without wind around, reflecting the immortal demeanor of the old Taoist priest sitting on the cloud bed in the center.

Lord Chixia slowly opened his eyes, with golden red flowing in them: "Huo Jue, you haven't been so frightened in years. Did Lu Cheng win a great victory in Guiku Abyss?"

"That Master Lu is in the Ghost Crying Abyss..." Huo Juezi took a deep breath, then presented a jade slip with both hands:

"He killed the old monster Tiansha with one sword, and the old demon Wuyou also died under the millions of Gu soldiers of this man."

"what?"

The sound of tea cups colliding could be heard from the corner of the cave. Bai Chongzi, the fourth disciple of Chixia God, stood up suddenly, with the spilled spiritual tea still stained on his Taoist robe.

Chi Yanzi, who was usually taciturn, paused with the whisk in his hand, but there was still an unrelieved fear in his eyes.

Chixia Divine Lord took the jade slip and scanned its contents with his consciousness. Then, there was a long silence.

"So fast and so fierce, such a vicious and swift sword light, this person's swordsmanship is truly unique in this world." Huo Juezi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he quickly added:
"The third elder used his pupil technique to watch from afar, and specifically explained the five-element poisonous insects he raised. I have checked, and each of those poisonous insects is at the sixth level, numbering a million!"

"Big talk!" Bai Zhongzi at the side couldn't help but interrupt, "Even if we hollowed out the world, we couldn't afford to feed so many vicious insects. Even if we could, how could we be so ignorant of everything?"

"If it is in the secret realm of Dongtian, it is not impossible."

The cave was suddenly silent. Lord Chixia tapped a certain spot on the jade slip with his fingertips, and scanned it with his consciousness to study it carefully:
"Forget it. Let alone the people behind him, even this boy himself has already become a big deal. Why should we be the bad guys?"

In this Guiyuan Cave, what Lord Chixia said was undoubtedly the truth, and the disciples present stopped talking.

For a cultivator of the Yuanshen spirit, the most important thing is his own cultivation. No matter how good the external objects are, how can they compare to ascending to the upper realms and achieving enlightenment and longevity?
……

A few years later, dark clouds appeared over the Wanlei Sea, pressing down on the sea surface layer by layer.

Purple lightning flashed across the sky, and the lightning was like a dragon, emitting dazzling purple light as it meandered and moved, illuminating the entire sea area with flickering light.

Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the Qingyu Taoist Palace with his eyes slightly closed.

The vast magical power around him rose and fell like the tide. Every breath he took caused the formation outside the Taoist palace to circulate, absorbing all the lightning that struck down from the sky and transforming it into pure spiritual energy that flowed into his body.

In the Taiqing Sect's highest authentic book "Xuanmen Danding Lianxing Secret Book", there are naturally methods of tempering the body by inducing lightning and tempering the body by thunder. Although practicing in this way is dangerous on a daily basis, it can increase the chances of success when overcoming the heavenly tribulation.

In fact, Lu Cheng's cultivation techniques were much better than those of the cultivators in the seven realms.

"The five elements rotate, and the five qi move towards the origin."

As Lu Cheng silently chanted in his heart, the five internal organs in his body lit up with five colors of light: green, red, yellow, white, and black. The liver belongs to wood, and the green air rises like spring buds breaking through the soil; the heart belongs to fire, and the red flames flow like the scorching sun in summer; the spleen belongs to earth, and the yellow light is heavy as if the earth is bearing it; the lungs belong to gold, and the white light is sharper than autumn frost; the kidneys belong to water, and the black tide surges like the deep winter cold.

The five-colored light converges at the dantian, forming a slowly rotating vortex.

In the center of the vortex, a Nascent Soul figure was sitting cross-legged. His three-inch-tall body was as crystal clear as jade, and his face was exactly the same as Lu Cheng's. At this moment, he was pinching his fingers and practicing Qi to harmonize the five elements into one.

The Xuantian Divine Art can change the physical body, but the magic power it cultivates is not demonic power, but is dominated by the energy of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. With each level of change, the energy in Lu Cheng's body will be strengthened. If the internal energy is not cultivated enough and difficult to balance, he will go astray and suffer backlash from the magic power.

"The fifteen transformations of Xuantian will be completed today."

Lu Cheng's mind moved, and thunder suddenly sounded outside the Taoist Palace. The already violent sea of ​​thunder seemed to be inspired by something and became even more violent.

Thousands of purple lightnings poured down like a river from the sky and bombarded the Taoist Palace formation, but were transformed by the formation and turned into lightning snakes that drilled into Lu Cheng's body.

"Draw the lightning into my body to temper my Nascent Soul!"

The moment the lightning snake entered his body, Lu Cheng's muscles tensed up and veins on his forehead bulged. The lightning force that was enough to destroy an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator was now traveling through his meridians, leaving a trace of lightning energy every time it passed through an acupoint.

The five elements and five internal organs' qi blended with the power of thunder in the dantian, forming a strange chaotic state. Lu Cheng's Nascent Soul opened his mouth and took in the chaotic qi like a whale sucking water.

With every point absorbed, the Nascent Soul becomes more solid, and fine lightning pattern talismans begin to appear around the body.

"If a cultivator wants to break through the realm of the primordial spirit, he must understand his own way." Lu Cheng's mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness and began to think about the laws of heaven that he would integrate in the future.

Several roads appeared in front of him:
The first is the Way of the Five Elements, which is the path he has practiced for the longest time and has the deepest foundation. The Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and there are endless changes. If one can prove the Way with this, there will be endless evolution in the future. Moreover, the Five Elements are balanced, neutral and peaceful, which greatly reduces the risk of going astray.

The second is the way of speed, hardness, yin and yang, life and death. This is the path he has comprehended in his own swordsmanship. When both swords are used, they are extremely hard and yang, extremely yin and extremely poisonous, and can destroy evil and kill demons without any disadvantages. However, their murderous nature is violent and difficult to control, and one may hurt himself if he is not careful.

The third is the Way of Space, which is the path he learned from the Golden Winged Peng. The Golden Winged Peng can fly 90,000 miles and naturally master the wonders of space. If he can prove his way with this, he will be able to move at an unparalleled speed and move forward and backward freely in the future. However, space is profound and difficult to comprehend, and his current understanding is the least.

The fourth is the Way of Blood...

The fifth is…

It is recorded in the Taoist book of Taiqing Sect: There are three thousand great ways of heaven and earth in this world, as well as one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred and one laws of origin. Anyone who obtains them can attain the realm of incarnation.

Even cultivators who have integrated the laws are not necessarily weaker than cultivators who have integrated the great way of heaven and earth. Not counting the mortal world, there are many cultivators who have achieved spiritual enlightenment in the immortal world, and each of them has integrated the way of heaven or the laws, but the heaven and earth are still the heaven and earth, and the laws are still the laws, without any increase or decrease.

The power that a monk can exert is merely the laws that he can understand and explain.

If the depth of cultivation is sufficient and the principles are profound, a cultivator who cultivates the "sharp" law can beat a cultivator who cultivates the "killing" way of heaven to the point that even his master will not recognize him.

Lu Cheng fell into deeper thought. The five elements, life and death, space... these were powerful, but they did not seem to be the most suitable path for him.

Suddenly, a long-lost memory came to my mind. A sage once said: Wherever the sword points, the Tao will be revealed.

“So that’s how it is!” The jade-like Nascent Soul figure stood up suddenly, his eyes gleaming with light: “I understand, my true heart is just this!”

In an instant, the myriad images in the sea of ​​consciousness shattered and reorganized, transforming into a sword light that pierced the sky and the earth. This sword was neither gold nor iron, invisible and intangible, but it contained great determination and perseverance to cut through everything.

"I enter the Dao with the sword, and its essence is power. The five elements, killing, and space can all be the great ways of innate power!"

With this loud shout, the chaotic energy in Lu Cheng's body suddenly condensed and turned into a sharp blade, which was swallowed by the Nascent Soul man in one gulp.

"Click——"

As if some invisible shackles were broken, Lu Cheng's Nascent Soul figure began to grow rapidly, and in a blink of an eye it grew to more than a foot tall.

At the same time, lightning patterns intertwined around the little man's body, forming a thunder armor; a pair of golden wings spread out behind him, and a slight flutter caused infinite ripples in the space; five sword lights of green, red, yellow, white, and black were suspended in the positions of the five internal organs, slowly rotating.

"Yuan Shen, done!"

Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp beams of light burst out, tearing a huge hole in the dome of the Taoist Palace. He stood up, and his aura rose steadily. In a blink of an eye, he broke through the shackles of the Nascent Soul and reached a new realm.

Outside the Dao Palace, the sea of ​​thunder was already boiling. The thunder in the sky seemed to be summoned and gathered towards the Dao Palace, forming a huge thunder vortex with a diameter of thousands of miles in the sky.
