Chapter 266 Overturning the table
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

After a brief confrontation, many monks from the Star Gate were frightened.

As for the Taoist master of the Qunxing Sect who led the team this time, Sikong Ruzheng's heart was bleeding and he had endless questions.

After counting the interest.

The people from the Star Gate fought and retreated, and finally succeeded in leaving this place, which they believed to be a small puddle left after the Yellow Spring River dried up.

Looking at the large number of wandering souls floating in the puddles from afar, Sikong Ruzheng and his group were still feeling frightened. They were filled with the luck of surviving the disaster, but also with unimaginable resentment and pain.

of course.

Sikong Ruzheng felt something was wrong.

Is it an illusion?
Among them, there were two extremely powerful wandering souls. Although the cold light emitted by one of them was extremely strange, its attack was very similar to the Qianyang Sword of Yu Yunmu, the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple, in his memory.

The other method of killing with extremely terrifying power that could be unleashed with just a wave of the hand was very similar to the power of the Tao that Zhong Lixiao displayed when he defeated Monk Baoshu.

The only difference is that the extreme yang is changed to the extreme yin.

However, before the people from the Star Gate could figure it out, they saw a large number of wandering souls in the depression of the Yellow Spring River looking towards them again.

Those pairs of eyes flashing with scarlet light made those people from the Star Gate who had luckily escaped the disaster feel even more frightened.

Sikong Ruzheng gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat again!"

Seeing that they had finally succeeded in repelling the densely packed terrifying wandering souls above the puddle of the Yellow Springs River after going through so much trouble, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, some even felt like they had survived a calamity.

Especially the few foundation-building cultivators who had managed to survive, while gasping for breath, they immediately paid homage to Zhong Lixiao, Yu Yunmu and other Jindan Zhenren.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, I will never forget it!"

"I would like to thank you all for saving my life. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"."

In just a short period of time, a lot of sincere and heartfelt words were spoken at the scene.

Everyone present looked at Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu, even the older Jindan masters like Chihuo and Yunxiang Zhenren were no exception.

It is true that the more I come into contact with geniuses like Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu, the more I can understand how powerful these geniuses are.

Zhong Lixiao waved his hand with a slightly solemn expression and said, "As for thanking you for saving my life, we should wait until we leave Weiji Hanyuan before we say thank you. Now we should adjust our condition and prevent other accidents."

Yu Yunmu also nodded, "Senior Brother Zhong is right, everyone must not slack off."

"Yes."

"Follow the teachings of the two uncles."

Afterwards, everyone present began to visualize and concentrate, trying their best to eliminate the double damage to their bodies and minds caused by the many strange evil spirits.

At this moment, a strong purple light suddenly fell from the sky.

This was not the first time this had happened, but experiencing it again still made everyone extremely surprised, and they couldn't help but cheer for it.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it has always been said that purple is the most precious.

Purple air in the morning sun and purple air coming from the east, both speak of the same principle.

What no one had expected was that this extremely thick purple light contained not the vitality of the rising sun, but the extremely rich essence of star power.

This time even Zhong Lixiao was surprised, and some bad guesses in his mind were initially confirmed.

of course.

Now Zhong Lixiao no longer has the time to think too much about this.

The star power essence is extremely rich and almost as sticky as glue. It is a top-grade holy object that cannot be obtained under ordinary circumstances.

If one does not have a very advanced technique that can efficiently and continuously extract the power of the stars, one may not be able to refine such high-grade star power essence even if one wastes his entire life.

Even for a sect like the Star Gate, which possesses the most advanced method of extracting star power, in order to refine this almost viscous high-quality star power essence, it would require a cultivator at least at the Golden Core stage and would consume more than two to three hundred years of precious time.

Its preciousness is unimaginable!
The effects of the lunar eclipse and the essence of star power are similar in many aspects.

After all, the sky has three treasures: the sun, the moon, and the stars; and humans have three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit, which are closely related.

but.

In terms of specific details, Taiyin Moonlight and Star Power Essence each have their own expertise.

If the moonlight of the moon contains vitality, then the essence of starlight has a miraculous effect on the growth of spiritual consciousness.

In just a short period of time, every cell and every bone in Zhong Lixiao's body underwent a great baptism.

Especially the spiritual consciousness within the purple palace between the eyebrows has become abnormally active.

In Zhong Lixiao's opinion, the purple palace between his eyebrows seemed to have undergone reconstruction, and every ray of spiritual consciousness began to shine because of it.

You should know that for Zhong Lixiao, among all the skills he has practiced so far, the spiritual skill "Boundless Sea of ​​Heart" is the most advanced and mysterious.

His spiritual realm is essentially far beyond his physical realm.

In other words, before he achieved a major breakthrough in his physical body, it was basically impossible for him to achieve a major breakthrough in his spiritual consciousness.

but.

After being baptized by this extremely high-end essence of star power, Zhong Lixiao's spiritual awareness even began to grow at a very rare rate.

What Zhong Lixiao did not expect was that as this essence of star power was gradually digested and absorbed by him, some changes also occurred in Zhong Lixiao's spiritual practice "Boundless Sea of ​​Heart".

Vaguely, Zhong Lixiao seemed to see an endless starry sky.

I saw some monks observing the stars day and night on high buildings, watching the changes of the stars and counting countless heroes in the world who were like the star in the sky, some brilliant, some dim, and some fallen.

Especially those stars in the sky continuously broadcast their star power to the human world. In Zhong Lixiao's eyes at this moment, they are even more vast and magnificent.

It was the first time that Zhong Lixiao discovered that the power of the stars was so great.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao was completely selfless.

In his eyes, the galaxy is always there. Compared with the earth's constant changes, the stars are more constant at certain times.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao's purple palace seemed to have completely turned into a boundless galaxy because of this essence of star power.

And the secret spiritual technique he practiced, "Boundless Sea of ​​Heart", seemed to have become some kind of guiding ladder at this moment.

No one knew how much time had passed, and everyone present opened their eyes one after another.

Their eyes were filled with excitement, even disbelief.

Every practitioner knows how precious star power is, but there are not many who truly know how to utilize star power, let alone use such rich and pure star power to cleanse spiritual consciousness.

In just a short period of time, the ecstasy in the eyes of the large number of Baiyun Temple monks who were still alive, especially those who were in the foundation-building stage, could not even hide it.

Not only these foundation-building practitioners, but even many veteran Jindan Zhenren could not hide their joy at this moment.

Take Qi Yuan for example, he is also a veteran Jindan Zhenren and was once the pride of heaven in the eyes of all cultivators.

but.

After the brief glory, what was left to him was endless loneliness and helplessness.

His potential was almost exhausted, and he had been stuck in the early stage of Golden Core for all these years. No matter what he tried, he couldn't loosen the bottleneck.

But now, after experiencing the baptism of the lunar aura and the essence of star power, the bottleneck that had stuck him for who knows how many years has finally loosened.

Especially spiritual awareness, which has seen a long-awaited great growth.

As long as Qi Yuan is given a suitable place to retreat, he can break through to the middle stage of Jindan at any time.

This made Qi Yuan, an old Jindan monster who was considered to have a heart as hard as iron by the world, so moved that he almost wanted to cry.

As for other monks, the situation is more or less similar.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with great joy for their progress.

When they looked at Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu again, it was no longer a simple admiration, it was a kind of worship as if they were facing a "living Bodhisattva" or even a "godfather".

If these two Taoist disciples with great achievements were not here, not only would they not be able to defeat the Bone Demon and the Evil Spirit and finally obtain the rare fortune and the wonders of the Tao, they might even die here.

After a while, Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu opened their eyes one after another.

They both saw joy in each other's eyes, as well as some kind of inexplicable fear and worry!
Zhong Lixiao whispered to himself, "The essence of star power is indeed a good fortune, but the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Do you think the ones we killed to protect ourselves were really bone demons and evil spirits?"

Yu Yunmu was silent for a while, and then said, "I have carefully examined Gou Rixiu's remains. It seems that he died from a large number of evil spirits that drained his vitality, energy, and spirit from the inside out. But it has a bit of the flavor of the "Starlight Divine Water" of the Star Gate."

Zhong Lixiao nodded immediately after hearing this. He had seen some clues.

Although we don’t know how the mysterious “drinker” was achieved, one thing is certain: it may be true.

Being in the Weiji Hanyuan, a place suspected to be the inside of the "Devil's Lamp of Sin", they may encounter unexpected dangers at any time.

If you want to survive, you must fight.

If you lose, everything is over.

Victory brings unexpected benefits.

Considering it from this perspective, the Weiji Hanyuan, which is suspected to be the "Devil's Lamp of Sin", is really wonderful and makes people unable to stop.

As long as you can keep winning, you can make a small profit with a big risk, and change your destiny in a very short period of time.

But if you lose, you will lose everything.

Zhong Lixiao: "Some people speculate that the way of drinkers is 'wine, sex, money and anger'. Now it seems to make sense."

"This Weiji Frost Abyss may seem like just a place where yin and yang meet, but in essence it is more like a gambling table inside the Devil's Lamp."

"At the poker table, we may win small, medium or big, but the drinker behind us is the dealer, who will win once, twice, three times, or even win all the time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunmu's expression became unusually solemn.

Nine times out of ten, a gambler will lose everything in the end.

Moreover, for Yu Yunmu, he grew up in Baiyun Temple since he was a child and has been the de facto Taoist of Baiyun Temple since a very early time.

Compared with Zhong Lixiao, a "Taoist" who changed his career late, he has much more sense of ownership.

If those "evil souls" they killed not long ago were really important figures of the Star Gate, then there might have been a great feud between Baiyun Temple and the Star Gate.

If these two immortal sects were to come and start a war, it would be hard to imagine how huge the price would be.

What's more, if the fighting continues like this, the cultivators and sects that Baiyun Temple will make enemies with will not just be the Qunxing Sect and Guanghan Immortal Palace.

Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu looked at each other, and finally understood why the Sin Demon Lamp had been so evil since ancient times, and why it was not only sealed, but also had to be guarded by a sect for a long time.

Not only is it weird, it's like a number one troublemaker.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized something. He looked around at the extremely dark, strange, and gloomy Weijihanyuan, and suddenly said, "Brother Yu, I know what this place is. It is the Weijihanyuan, but in essence, it is hell itself."

"The great path that the mysterious drinker wants to attain should essentially be some kind of extreme temptation, or it should represent some kind of extreme desire in the human heart. As for the ultimate result, it is to lure all fallen people to hell."

"Do you remember the first appearance of the Sinful Demon Lamp?"

"It is full of destructiveness, uncertainty and extreme temptation, and even forced the Venerable Ancestor to take action himself. Yes, he took action, but he was also forced to sit at the table in person!"

Zhong Lixiao's words were like thunder, which immediately cleared the clouds for Yu Yunmu to see the light, and he finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.

And it was at this moment that a special kind of Taoism emerged in the minds of Zhong Lixiao and Yu Yunmu at the same time.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt as if an endless beautiful scene was flowing before his eyes.

Wine, sex, money, anger, even fame, fortune, and a long journey, all appeared before his eyes, and for a moment they were even dazzling.

Zhong Lixiao's heart trembled, and he tried to keep a clear head at all times.

It was clear without even a guess that what he sensed was what the mysterious "Drinker" wanted to prove.

This is human desire!

It is the dark side that must exist in the world, especially in the hearts of many living beings.

Love leisure, be lustful, hypocritical, seek fame and fortune, bully the weak, and get something for nothing
This drinker who wants to witness the great way of human desire not only wants to become the "demon lord" who controls the great way of human desire, but also intends to drag all those who are trapped in human desire into the hell he controls.

What a big ambition!

At the same time, we have to admit that drinkers are extremely cunning and treacherous.

Perhaps he had learned the lesson from the time when the Kitchen God was trying to attain enlightenment and countless gods came to block his path, or perhaps this extremely dark "demonic path" was inherently unpopular.

The drinker not only seduced and bribed them at a huge price in advance, but also successfully captured many gods.

Even though he had started to attain enlightenment for a long time, he was still extremely cautious, and the path he wanted to attain was always elusive and difficult to understand.

Only the cultivator who has truly seen the true face of the Great Dao that the drinker has attained is qualified to sense the Dao rhyme that the drinker wants to attain that permeates the heaven and earth.

It may not be as grand as the time when the Kitchen God attained enlightenment, but in essence it is very much in line with the characteristics of the great way of human desire.

The dark side of human nature and human heart is inherently very obscure.

There is a saying that goes, as long as there are saints, there will be no end to thieves.

Many times, the essence of human desire will even be framed in the name of justice, standing under the sun, shining so brightly that all people cannot open their eyes.

Yu Yunmu, who also sensed the flow of the great Dao of human desires between heaven and earth, also had an extremely solemn expression on his face, even very worried.

Since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist!
Although the righteous path and the evil path have been like the two sides of a coin since their birth, either the righteous path grows and the evil path disappears, or the evil path grows and the righteous path disappears, and neither side has ever been able to completely destroy the other.

but.

If this extremely mysterious drinker really attains enlightenment ahead of time, then the demonic flame will inevitably increase greatly.

At that time, these righteous monks and righteous sects might have to keep a low profile to survive.

This is not good news!

Yu Yunmu wanted to stop the drinker from proving his truth as soon as possible, but after thinking about it for a long time, Yu Yunmu became confused, and even more depressed.

Being in the Weijihan Abyss, which was suspected to be the devil's lamp of sin, whether they were forced or voluntarily, they were essentially now sitting at the card table.

Either you win the bet and gain some opportunities that you may have always dreamed of; or you lose the bet and lose everything.

but.

In the real world at the poker table, besides the dealer, who can ensure that they will always win in the end? !

Unless it's... flipping the table!

Completely smash this card table and this gambling house to pieces, so as to avoid all kinds of shady dealings by the dealer.

But the problem is that they can't even see the shadow of the drinker now. Even if they did, how could they overturn the table in front of a person who is about to achieve enlightenment?

The gap in realm is really too big!

The two of them stopped talking, their eyes filled with solemnity.

At this moment, the many cultivators from Baiyun Temple present had basically completed the digestion and absorption of the essence of star power not long ago, and they were all extremely happy.

Not only that, everyone present was even divided into groups for recovery and exploration under the arrangement of many Jindan Zhenren.

As the exploration deepened, the many monks present, who were already very happy, became even more overjoyed.

"Found it. It seems to be a soul crystal ore that has been soaked in the Yellow Spring River for many years and contains a large amount of soul power!"

"real or fake?"

"Is it the soul crystal ore that can be forged into a divine weapon in the legend?"

There was an immediate stir in the place, and everyone was extremely surprised.

What is the "Yuan Shen Bing"?
To put it bluntly, it is essentially a kind of magic weapon!
But unlike other ordinary magic weapons, the magic weapons that can be classified as "Shen Bing" have miraculous effects in protecting the soul and defeating the gods.

Treasures like the God-Slaying Whip, the God-Killing Spear, and the Soul-Calming Tower are even more famous.

As time passed, everyone not only confirmed that the soul crystal ores they discovered were genuine, but also of very high quality, and even had astonishingly large reserves.

"I'm rich, I'm rich. With this opportunity, not only can I break through the realm, but even the road ahead will definitely be easier to walk!"

"That's right. The harvest this time is really huge. Even if it means a narrow escape from death, it's worth it!"

"A narrow escape from death? Tsk, if there really is no danger, how can we take this opportunity to explore? It's like gambling with our lives!"

"It's worth it even if it means risking my life!"

"."

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their joy and desire for great opportunities and great rewards, but also their awareness of being indifferent to life and death and taking action if they were not convinced.

Again, for the vast majority of people, what’s wrong with gambling with their lives?

Don't gamble your life. Even if you look at the opportunity, it's a great opportunity. In most cases, it's not your turn at all!
