Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 443: Undercurrents surge, sect changes, and the Taoist soldiers become the master of the army

In the spiritual world of immortals, the Taoist on the platform slowly opened his eyes, and all kinds of memories flowed through him like a torrent.

This kind of experience must occur between the original body and the incarnation. When practicing in seclusion, the cultivator's mind is focused inward, but the other side will not be idle. When the retreat is over, the mind is released, and what has been done on the other side will naturally come to mind. Fortunately, for the mind of the cultivator of the primordial spirit, this is nothing.

“The Taoist scriptures, alchemy furnace, spells, jade plaques and Taoist robes in that abandoned mansion are not considered valuable treasures. Only the Bu Tian Zhi is indeed a spiritual object that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. If it can be refined in this world, it will even directly affect the rise and fall of the power of the myriad races in the spiritual world.

If these precious pills are used properly, they can help me make great progress. "

For cultivators, overcoming tribulations and starting over again is a great opportunity. Those in the Qi training stage think that their foundation is already perfect, but they will definitely not think so when they reach the Nascent Soul stage.

By practicing again with a new body, the magic power of the same cultivator can often be increased by three levels, and his ability in cultivating the various arts and fighting magic will also be improved.

Therefore, even though the spiritual cultivators in the earthly immortal world have already achieved immortality, the Bu Tian Pill is still extremely valuable.

After the main body returned to the Qingyu Dao Palace in Wanleihai to practice, he did two more things. One was to send his disciple Shi Sheng to the Jumang Realm with the Taoist scriptures of the Immortal Palace to meet the Fairy Qingluan and give her the precious scriptures.

Taoist Lu Cheng was a bit murderous, but he followed the right path and naturally disdained to take advantage of Taoist Qingluan.

The second was that a few years later, Luo Qingyi from Tianyin Valley came to the door again, hoping to find temporary shelter under the door.

Using his own spiritual power as a cultivator's spiritual resource, he redeemed the Qingyin Treasure Bell bit by bit.

Thinking of the musical tradition of Tianyin Valley, which could cleanse one's inner demons and assist in spiritual practice, the main body agreed to this matter.

In fact, Luo Qingyi's magic power was damaged, and she vaguely felt that the Seven Realms were in turmoil. She was worried that she would be captured by some old demon and imprisoned for a hundred years. Therefore, she chose to seek refuge under the tutelage of the Lord of Robbery. After all, this man was able to kill Master Chitong. Although he had just entered the realm of the soul, his magic power must be extraordinary.

The avatar merged with the memories of the original body, and the original body also merged with the memories of the avatar. The whole process only took a moment, and all the memories were clear in his mind:

During the battle in the Misty Sea area of ​​the South China Sea, due to the eruption of the volcano, countless spiritual creatures from heaven and earth flew out from the cracks in the ground.

The Taiqing Sect, one of the nine sects of the human race, and the Sansheng Wendao Mountain, Taisu Qingyun Mansion, and Wuxiang Yinyang Sect, three of the thirty-six sects of the human race, are confronting each other in the South China Sea. The three sects have formed a secret alliance to resist the pressure from the Taiqing Sect.

The Taiqing Sect's four eighth-order flying ships, "Tianzhu", "Mie Di", "Tu Mo" and "Lian Yao", nine seventh-order flying ships, and thirteen patrol spirit ships were approaching. After five years of confrontation, Xuan Zhenzi led the Taiqing Sect's monks to attack and kill the leader of the Wuxiang Yin and Yang Sect, the Lord of the Yin and Yang Realm and the four elders in the South China Sea.

In this battle alone, all five combined monks of the Wuxiang Yin-Yang Sect died, except for the Yin-Yang Realm Master who was seriously injured and escaped, and the four elders were all killed.

After this battle, Sansheng Wendao Mountain and Taisu Qingyun Mansion voluntarily withdrew from the South China Sea. Taiqing Sect completely occupied the place and obtained countless spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

But the victory of this battle was not without a price. There were four eighth-order flying ships and nine seventh-order flying ships. Normally, these giant ships were used by the Taiqing Sect to suppress important locations and foreign races. Now they were withdrawn. Have those demon cultivators, foreign races, and wild beasts suddenly become docile?
Of course not, it was Xuan Zhenzi who, as the acting leader, made deals with the Yuqing and Shangqing sects, voluntarily ceding part of the territory and selling the market town and spiritual veins in exchange for the support of the two sects.

Although they won a great victory in the battle in the Wuyin Sea area of ​​the South China Sea, Xuan Zhenzi, the current head of the sect, was still under great pressure after the incident was exposed.

Ceding land and selling out the spiritual veins that were pioneered by the sect's predecessors with great effort is a heinous act in any sect.

What's more, those markets and spiritual veins also generate income. In this way, the large amount of spiritual objects obtained from winning the Wuyin Sea in the South China Sea may not be enough to buy back those markets and spiritual veins.

This can no longer be called a victory. It can only be said that long-term benefits are exchanged for large amounts of short-term benefits, which is barely equal.

"Fortunately, we won this battle. If something unexpected happened, I'm afraid that Master Xuan Zhenzi would no longer have any authority and would have to retreat to the back mountains to practice Taoism."

Although there was a lot of discussion about this matter within the sect, many disciples held their own opinions and argued endlessly.

But Lu Cheng personally thinks this is a good move:
When the situation is unstable, they will shrink their power and sell off a large number of territories that they can no longer control at the right time, in exchange for a large amount of cash, which will enhance their controllability and benefit the overall situation of the sect.

At the same time, the spiritual world is vast, and Taiqing Sect also controls a large amount of wild land. When the sect's strength is restored, it can be opened up again. The reason why the counterattack in the sect is so fierce is that Master Xuan Zhenzi suddenly sold those markets and spiritual veins, which damaged the interests of the aristocratic families in the sect. The spiritual stones that were originally theirs are now taken back to the sect's treasury. With their interests damaged, the cries will naturally be louder.

“From the information we got from Wan Shuang’er, Duan Tianyan and the others, Uncle Xuan Zhenzi is still able to suppress both the aristocratic family and the master-disciple lineage.

Practice, practice, heaven and earth, human heart, self, perhaps Master Xuan Zhenzi can really understand the Tao in this difficult balance and make further progress. "

The concept of time of cultivators is different from that of ordinary people.

After the battle of the Fog Sea in the South China Sea, Lu Cheng returned to the gate of Taiqing Mountain and practiced in seclusion for decades. One day, he received the sect's decree.

The next day, in the Tianshu Hall of Taiqing Sect, a white-haired old Taoist holding a jade slip spoke in a voice as loud as a bell:

"True disciple Lu Cheng, listen to my order. In the battle of the South Sea, you killed the aliens, defeated the three factions, and spread the prestige of Taiqing. Now I grant you the post of Huangyun Guardian, governing 30,000 miles of mountains and rivers, establishing a government, and governing the area."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators in the hall were surprised.

Although the Huangyun Mountains in Dongzhou are not the core area of ​​the sect, they are adjacent to the Xuanyin Demon Gorge and serve as the barrier to the eastern border of the Taiqing Sect.

Traditionally, the garrison commander had to be at least at the Divine Transformation stage, but Lu Cheng is only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he be given such an important task?
Lu Cheng's Taoist robe moved slightly, and after performing the ceremony, he took the green jade seal engraved with Taiqing cloud patterns with both hands.

The moment the jade seal came into his hand, the energy of the mountains and earth surged in like a tide, outlining the shadows of continuous peaks and winding spiritual veins in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Disciple obeys the order." Lu Cheng's voice was calm, but it made several elders from the aristocratic families in the hall frown secretly.

They originally wanted to nominate a member of the clan to take up this position, but were suppressed by their superiors.

Power and responsibility, power and responsibility, in fact, should be read the other way around, only with responsibility comes power, that is, heavy responsibilities naturally bring great benefits and great authority.

The white-haired Taoist priest from the sect continued:
"There are remains of an ancient battlefield at the foot of the Huangyun Mountains in Dongzhou, and the evil aura has been growing stronger in recent years. The sect sent you there, which is both a sign of importance and a test. Although you have received the true teachings, your practice is shallow, and your accumulated magic power is still insufficient. Therefore, I have bestowed upon you a Taoist soldier of the sect, and I hope you will use it with caution." After he finished speaking, a jade talisman flew over from the front. This was the imperial order of the Taiqing Taoist soldier, and it was also an extremely precious treasure.

Patrolling spirit ships, sect’s Taoist soldiers.

These are rare in the human world, and even if they exist, their levels and numbers cannot be compared with those in the spiritual world of immortals.

The real Taoist soldiers are all trained from the long-lived demon tribe of the same race, and their numbers are often hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands. The Taoist methods practiced by these Taoist soldiers have been specially improved and can be combined into a magical power and integrated into the main body of the Taoist soldiers, greatly increasing the magic power of the master of the soldiers and even allowing them to fight across a greater realm.

The Taiqing Sect has five main Taoist soldiers, who can even play a decisive role in the hands of cultivators in the Refinement Stage and the Fusion Stage.

Of course, the main Taoist soldiers granted to Lu Cheng were not these, but the training of lower-level Taoist soldiers was originally a substitute for the main Taoist soldiers. It also cost countless spirit stones and countless resources. At the same time, this was also the treatment that was given to true disciples.

After taking charge of the Taoist soldiers, one can fight against cultivators who are one major realm higher than oneself without being defeated, or even defeat them. If one's Taoist heart is pure and spiritual and one has sufficient aptitude, it will naturally bring infinite benefits to one's own Taoist practice.

After Lu Cheng left the sect's Tianshu Hall, Shang Qingyu, Duan Tianyan, Xiao Ming, Mo Xuan, Wan Shuang'er, and a group of cultivators gathered together with excitement.

Although they were from aristocratic families, they had fought side by side with Lu Cheng in the South China Sea. Now that they saw Lu Cheng receiving great rewards from the sect, they were naturally happy for him.

"Brother Lu, I heard from the elders that the selection of Taoist soldiers is extremely important. The Taoist soldiers we can choose are all substitutes for the main Taoist soldiers, but there are good and bad ones. Some Taoist soldiers have profound magic power, but they are old soldiers and are unwilling to work hard. Some Taoist soldiers are lazy by nature, and some Taoist soldiers will even devour their masters. I will ask Aunt Yun which Taoist soldiers are relatively the best in recent times."

Shang Qingyu came closer and said this first.
