Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 459: Jiuyou's dream of immortality is difficult to continue, and the bottom of Liuyan Valley is bleak

There was a faint fragrance in the air inside the sedan chair.

After setting up a sophisticated barrier, the queen of Shaluo gently stroked her brother's head with her skinny fingers. The light in her eyes flickered, and a few drops of crystal liquid slid down her cheeks.

"Little fool, why are you crying..." The king's voice was as hoarse as the autumn wind sweeping through dead leaves.

The luxurious imperial robe she was wearing had long since faded, and the embroidered fire phoenix pattern was mottled and falling off, looking very much like this dying dynasty, this world entering death.

The little prince hugged the girl tightly and raised his head, choking with sobs as he said, "Didn't my sister say... that if I practiced the Nine Netherworld Immortality Sutra, I could live forever?"

"My sister is too self-righteous. When I was young, I always thought that everything was in my hands... but in the end, I always have to bow to God."

"I don't want my sister to die. I don't want my sister to die."

"Little fool, listen to your sister"

Her voice seemed to come from the bottom of a dry well, and each word was hoarse with the friction of gravel. But she had been the emperor for many years and had accumulated great prestige, and her brother in her arms was very respectful of her, so she held back her tears.

"Sister has already mastered the foundation of her cultivation, but her internal injuries are too severe to be cured. But you still have hope, brother. You must become a disciple of an immortal, and when you have achieved success in cultivation, come back to save my sister's life."

"No matter how much suffering you endure, no matter how much pain you have to endure, you must live on, practice Taoism well, become an immortal, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of your ancestors for generations!"

While speaking, the woman held her brother's hand tightly and transferred the magic power and treasure that supported her life into his body.

She didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but suddenly opened the curtain of the sedan chair and pushed her brother out with her last bit of strength.

The general in golden armor quickly caught the little prince, but saw that the Chinese ruler had already put down the necklace again and only uttered a hoarse command:

"Go... don't look back."

The young prince was carried by the general towards the Golden Bridge, his hands tightly clenched. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he suddenly broke free from the general's arms, turned around, knelt down in front of the sedan chair, and kowtowed three times.

The blood-red necklace moved without wind, and the figure of the owner of the sedan chair could be vaguely seen trembling slightly. A drop of dark red blood finally fell, splashing a small red flower on the carpet inside the sedan chair.

The female ruler of Shaluo thought she was very capable, but she didn't know that everything she did was seen and heard by Han Qingyun and Lu Cheng.

People in this world are more likely to understand the law of death because they are close to death. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is of course that after enlightenment, they can make rapid progress and their realm will be improved very quickly.

The bad side is that the legal principles are integrated into the magic power and are even passed down through blood, so ancestors from generation to generation will never have a good death, like an ancestral curse.

The female king just now has the cultivation level of Yuanying realm, but her internal organs are weak. If they really fight, she may not be able to defeat even a Jindan Zhenren cultivator.

She had just used the last of her magic power to arrange three magical powers to protect her brother, and at the same time transferred a storage spirit bead into her brother's body, which should contain the most precious treasures of the Sha Luo Kingdom.

She had done well enough, but unfortunately the gap in vision and realm between the two was too big.

"I will pray for rain for your Burning Heaven Kingdom and guarantee to create the largest freshwater lake in your country. However, I think your two countries should stop fighting and killing each other. God has the virtue of loving life. Since my junior brother and I have come here, we also have some fate with you.

It would be better if your two countries merged into one country, so as to avoid a hundred years of fighting and unnecessary bloodshed."

Han Qingyun said this after thinking for a while.

Chi Liao and the golden-armored general in front of him were both stunned.

"As for who will be the ruler, it depends on how many spiritual objects you have in your forbidden treasury. The country with more and more precious spiritual objects will be the ruler. The other country will also be a wealthy and noble patriarch."

"…Chi Liao will obey the order."

"Sha Luo country will obey the law."

Although Han Qingyun's tone sounded like he was negotiating, who would dare to disobey the words of the immortal in heaven? Moreover, the rain had not yet fallen.

When Queen Nasara in Yingluo's sedan chair heard this, she felt a chill in her heart, but of course she did not dare to raise any objection.

The national strength of Shaluo Kingdom and Fentian Kingdom is almost the same. After the female leader of Shaluo Kingdom secretly gave some precious spiritual objects to her younger brother, Shaluo Kingdom naturally fell into a disadvantage in terms of spiritual objects.

It doesn't mean that Shaluo Kingdom will definitely be annexed by Fentian Kingdom, but the chances of winning are much lower.

"Could it be that they noticed the spiritual bead I planted on Ming Jin?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yingluo Sara almost fainted.

Fortunately, her strong will supported her body and prevented her from kneeling down and begging for mercy.

In the eyes of these celestial immortals, all spiritual objects in this secret realm belong to them. Even those royal family members who have been taught some Taoist magic are merely "stewards". Stealing the owner's treasures and claiming them as their own is naturally a capital crime.

Before Yingluo Sara could think of a countermeasure, she felt her figure flying high up rapidly.

However, Han Qingyun and Lu Cheng had already ridden the clouds and flew towards the capital of Fentian Kingdom.

"Brother, I am not good at the art of controlling clouds and rain."

"It's okay, I'll take care of these rough laborers." As he said that, Han Qingyun took out a jade bottle and gestured slightly in his hand.

This jade bottle of purified water is considered a special magic weapon. It has no other functions but can collect and store large amounts of purified water.

Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng felt relieved. As long as there were two or three such magic weapons, a heavy rain would fall. Come to think of it, it was not the first time for the Seven Friends of Hanshan to explore this secret place, so how could they not know what was missing in this place?

The speed of the Divine Transformation cultivators' escape was astonishing, and the territory of the Fentian Kingdom was not very large, so it only took a short while for the six of them to fly above the capital of the Fentian Kingdom.

After the clouds descended, the guards in the capital of Fentian Kingdom initially gathered together in panic to defend.

But they were quickly dispersed by Chi Liao, who pointed the way directly to Lu Cheng and Han Qingyun towards the forbidden warehouse.

Chi Liao is a man of courage and determination, and a brave and heroic monarch. The Fentian Kingdom will surely prosper under his rule.

Unfortunately, the next time Lu Cheng and others come will be seven hundred years later. By that time, no matter how glorious the Fentian Kingdom was, it will probably be nothing but ruins and a pile of yellow sand after seven hundred years.

"My two immortals, these are the treasures that my Burning Heaven Nation has accumulated over hundreds of years. This is a forbidden storehouse. Except for those who are in charge of this place, anyone who enters without permission will be killed without mercy."

"Ah."

Lu Cheng and Han Qingyun entered and picked out some spiritual objects to put away.

At this time, Chi Liao personally stepped forward and presented a treasure map: "There are some dangerous places in Fentian Country. It's not that we don't want to go there, but we can't go there because of the bad environment or the demons blocking us. However, some of these places are likely to give birth to living creatures."

Half an hour later, Lu Cheng and Han Qingyun went to the Sha Luo Kingdom's forbidden storehouse to search and pick. After a while, Lu Cheng sighed softly:
"That Chi Liao, his character and intelligence are both better than the Lord of Sha Luo. It's a pity that he is too greedy for worldly power and has fewer opportunities than the Lord."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng picked up a jade bottle from the spiritual objects and threw it to Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun took the jade bottle and opened it immediately, only to see liquid that looked like blood or magma bubbling inside.

“Heavenly Fire Liquid! Hahahahahaha, as expected, heaven will not destroy me, Han Qingyun.”

Of course, just a small amount of Sky Fire Liquid is not enough. Han Qingyun almost immediately set his sights on the little grandson of the Shaluo Kingdom, Mingjin Shaluo.

He had a Qiankun Pearl on him. Han Qingyun didn't care about it before, but at this moment, Han Qingyun could crush the little grandson into powder with just a thought and then take away the pearl.

"Brother, ask about the treasure map."

"Brother, the Sha Luo Kingdom was bound to lose the bet you proposed, but we found the Heavenly Fire Liquid here. It seems that there is some kind of fate. Although this kind of fate is illusory, it is better to accept it. There is no need to have the intention of killing here."

Lu Cheng put his hand on Han Qingyun's shoulder, suppressing his murderous aura at the same time.

At this time, the queen of Shaluo country had also presented the treasure map that the country had drawn over the years.

"My lord, this spiritual liquid was found in the veins of the Flowing Flame Valley. Many sorcerers in our country died because of it. There are demons and monsters in it, which is extremely terrifying."

After taking the treasure map, Han Qingyun didn't say much. He turned into a rainbow light and disappeared.

Lu Cheng followed closely behind. Chi Liao, the golden-armored general, and the female king behind him looked at each other, but did not dare to make any move.

The treasuries of both countries were almost emptied by the two immortals, but they gained nothing.

"It's so painful. If these two immortals never come back, I'm still in the capital of Shaluo. No matter how brave I am, how can I escape?"

Chi Liao, the ruler of Fentian Kingdom, thought so in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

Fortunately, Yingluo Sara also had her own concerns at this time. She had realized that everything she did was probably seen by the two immortals, and she had ended up making things worse.

The two great rulers, Sha Luo and Fentian, both had their own worries at this time, and the forbidden treasury fell into silence for a while.

……

Sixty-four thousand miles away, above Liuyan Valley.

Han Qingyun stood in the clouds with his feet on the Gangbu step, and his moon-white Taoist robe fluttered in the hot wind.

He twisted a strand of true energy between his fingertips, which turned into a golden thread and dropped into the churning magma below.

The harm caused by the Netherworld Nail is related to his life and death. Although Han Qingyun is shrewd enough to suppress his emotions, it also depends on who he is facing. There is no need to do so when facing some ordinary low-level cultivators in the Sky Fire Secret Realm.

"Junior brother, the fire spirit energy in this valley is condensed and not dissipated. I'm afraid that there are already intelligent monsters absorbing and exhaling the essence of the sun and the moon."

Golden and red flames flowed in Lu Cheng's eyes, and his fiery pupils penetrated thousands of feet of magma, faintly illuminating a dark red shadow that flashed by.

After the catastrophe in Huangyun Mansion, Lu Cheng practiced on the seventh-level spiritual vein for more than two hundred years. Not only did he cultivate his own magic power to the second level of the Spirit Transformation, but he also used the Samadhi True Fire to cultivate the Fire Pupils and Golden Eyes in his external incarnation. Although the fire level was not as high as that of the original body, it was enough.

When he was in the South China Sea, he once obtained a seventh-level Mars Heart Pearl, which he gave to the main body to refine, which greatly supplemented the consumption of Samadhi True Fire. Therefore, the body refining and self-cultivation of Samadhi True Fire was not so stressful.

"It's a good fortune for a Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!" Before Lu Cheng finished his words, the magma under his feet suddenly exploded into thousands of feet of red waves, and a huge fire toad with a dark red body except for a snow-white belly leaped into the air.

There were densely packed golden nodules on its back, pulsating regularly. Nine of them were extremely large, and every time they swelled, the fire spirits in the valley formed red vortices visible to the naked eye.

What was even more shocking was that it spoke in human language: "Where did you come from, you reckless youngster, to disturb my meditation?" The sound was like the collision of metal and iron, shaking the rock walls and causing rocks to fall.

(Even if they don’t speak the same language, beings at higher levels can communicate directly through their spiritual consciousness.)
Han Qingyun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt that this fire toad had not only reached the late stage of transformation, but also had an extremely good bloodline. He might be difficult to deal with, but he smiled and bowed: "Daoyou, since you have spiritual communication..."

"Shut up!" The fire toad opened its huge mouth and directly spurted out a red thread that was as solid as a solid object.

The scarlet snake transformed into dozens of fire lines in mid-air, interweaving into a net in the air. Each line contained the poisonous fire of the earth's lungs. Both the fire element and the toxicity were enough to pose a threat to the Divine Transformation cultivator.

Lu Cheng summoned his bloody sword and slashed it horizontally. The sword light entangled with the fire and wind and made a sound of metal clashing.

At the same time, Han Qingyun's thunder talisman spell followed closely. Nine entangled lightning bolts accurately nailed into the nodes of the fire net. The unique evil-breaking power of the Taiqing orthodox thunder talisman spell cleared away the violent aura in the poisonous fire.

He stepped on the boundless sea of ​​blood, the sword in his palm flashed, and he combined the power of the body and the art of killing perfectly, slashing forward at high speed.

The knife light was dazzling and sharp, but it did not move in a straight line. Instead, it rotated and danced, drawing out mysterious arcs, making it impossible to capture the exact position of the change in the knife light.

The fire toad cried out in surprise, immediately squatted deeply, then suddenly jumped up and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When it appeared again, it had retreated hundreds of miles away. This was not the art of teleportation or a spatial supernatural power, but the innate Taoist method of this Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad. Therefore, it was more natural and difficult to crack.

"Okay, let's stop here." Lu Cheng suddenly sheathed his sword and threw something out of his arms. It was a fire crystal from the Burning Heaven Kingdom, which drew a brilliant golden rainbow in the air.

The Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad's long tongue rolled up the fire essence like lightning and swallowed it into its stomach. Its dark red skin immediately rippled with joy.

Han Qingyun understood what was going on and knew that if the battle continued for a long time, his internal injuries would probably flare up, and then Junior Brother Lu would have to support the team alone, so he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Daoyou has been able to cultivate to the realm you are at today. I think you have sensed that this world is flawed and the Dao is incomplete. Why bother to be confined to this small place? Why not follow me and my junior brother back to the mountain and become a mountain guardian beast? Your status is higher than that of an ordinary elder, second only to me and my junior brother Lu. If you wish, you can enjoy three kilograms of top-grade fire crystals every year."

The Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad's golden eyes narrowed into thin lines, and it suddenly let out a thunderous laugh: "One is in the early stage of Spirit Transformation, and the other suffers internal injuries, are you qualified to negotiate terms with me?" It laughed loudly, and the sound waves spread, and the whole valley suddenly shook.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already secretly taken out the Nine Chapter Jade Talisman and the Taiqing Taoist Soldier Order, preparing to take sudden drastic action and give this ungrateful old monster a severe blow.

"It's not impossible, but there's a powerful demon lurking inside the volcano where I live. If you go down and kill it, it means you have profound Taoist skills, and I'll have a purpose if I go over there.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for me to practice freely here? Why should I go to your place and endure the noise and restraint? ! "

Lu Cheng and Han Qingyun looked at each other after hearing this, then turned to the Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad and said, "Okay, then it's a deal."

Both sides are old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years, and their eyelashes are empty if they are plucked out.

The Sky-Swallowing Fire Toad wanted to use the two human cultivators to kill or severely injure its natural enemy. If these two were really powerful, then it would be okay to leave this world with them.

Anyway, it did feel that the world was becoming more and more broken. It had never left the Skyfire Secret Realm in its life, so it would be good to have a temporary place to stay.

From the perspective of Lu Cheng and Han Qingyun, they must get the Dazzling Fire Crystal Sand and the Sky Fire Liquid. It is okay to fight one less battle before that to conserve mana.

Of course, before taking any action, you must eliminate the possibility of being attacked from both sides.
