Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 832 Luring the Enemy into a Trap, Advancing Through Decline and Glory

"Edict!"

Fang Yi patted his storage bag, and the Azure Lotus Banner was raised. The banner moved without wind, shaking off the azure lotus blossoms, which transformed into a vibrant green lotus sea.

"Zheng!"

The sharp sword threads formed from the Yin Soul White Bone Sword emitted a cold light and clanged.

In an instant, the sea of ​​lotus flowers withered, and a gap was cut open in the blue lotus banner.

"That's all?"

Chi Mingzi raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed greedily on Fang Yi. "Since this is the only way, Fellow Daoist Qingyangzi, would you mind lending me your flesh and soul..."

He squinted his eyes, sniffed lightly, as if he could already smell the fragrance of Fang Yi's natal medicinal energy, and the complete poison essence was within reach. His face showed a look of infatuation.

"Fang Yi, you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, come to Five Insect Mountain to seek your own death."

"Zheng!"

The Yin Soul White Bone Sword slashed out again, its pale sword threads swirling in the void.

"Oh!"

A verdant, blood-red Bodhi branch was unleashed, its remaining sword light flickering and continuing its momentum as it slashed towards Fang Yi.

"What a sword!"

Fang Yi extended his left hand, his slender fingers coated with a layer of emerald light, and then he clenched his fingers.

"Zheng!"

The sharp sword light trembled, emitting a cold glint, but it was firmly held in place by two slender fingers.

Feeling Chi Mingzi's greedy gaze, he curled his lips slightly, showing no fear whatsoever, but instead revealing a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Having cultivated for two lifetimes, no cultivator had long regarded him as a great medicine, as if victory was already in their grasp.

“Chi Mingzi, this top-grade magic sword is extremely powerful in killing, but…”

"To make a move against me, you are ultimately far too unprepared."

"boom!"

At this moment, the Void Realm Withered and Flourishing Banner sank into the desolate mountain, took root, and transformed into a gnarled and twisted Azure Spirit Tree, with wisps of ripples hanging down.

"Buzz!"

Within the withered and flourishing small grotto, the warm and lustrous jade marrow was enveloped by a precious barrier and continuously refined. Invisible fluctuations accumulated continuously, and within a breath, one-tenth of the jade marrow had already been refined.

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Yi unleashed a five-colored spiritual light that descended from the cave, enveloping the willow-like Bodhi tree branch in a misty aura of life. The seven treasure seals lit up one by one, and a series of extraordinary phenomena appeared.

Horses frolic, chubby ginseng babies run and roll, eerie datura flowers bloom, and lush ancient trees sway in the breeze.
"By imperial decree, Hundred Wood Azure Spirit Whip!"

A faint, golden light, carrying an aura of decay, flashed by and vanished.

"Fang Yi, you couldn't do anything to me before. How much has your Green Wood Hundred Spirit Whip improved in just a few days?"

With a wave of his sleeve, Chi Mingzi's gaze swept over the gnarled branches and swaying crown of the Azure Spirit Tree, which was constantly gathering spiritual energy.

His eyes darkened, and he sneered inwardly. 'Fang Yi has quite the nerve, going all in like a madman?'
Do you really think that condensing your own natal medicinal energy makes you an equal to me?

"Congeal!"

The ghostly wails on the Yin Soul White Bone Sword were ear-piercing, surrounded by Yin energy, and transformed into a three-foot-long sword shadow that slashed down.

"Fang Yi, do you know that my greatest opportunity in my three hundred years of cultivation was obtaining a piece of corpse soul bone, which ultimately led to the forging of this Yin Soul White Bone Sword?"
In terms of swordsmanship and combat prowess, I have also fought against the Sword Master of Suspended Sword Mountain and held my own.

Fang Yi, his robes fluttering, showed neither joy nor sorrow, and swung the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip in his hand.

"Oh!"

"Zheng!"

A pale sword light slashed down, the sword clanging loudly. With a turn of the sword light, the strange phenomena on the Hundred Wood Green Spirit Whip were cut off, the sesame horse was split in two, the ginseng baby was shattered, and the lush green ancient wood turned into specks of spiritual light and scattered with the wind.

"Pfft!"

In the end, the Hundred Wood Azure Spirit Whip was cut down, a side branch was shattered, and the original body, the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, returned to Fang Yi's hand in a dim light.

Sensing that the refined, warm jade marrow in the Withered and Flourishing Small Cave Heaven had increased from 10% to 30%, he slightly closed his eyes, concealing the glint in them, and tentatively asked.

"Corpse Soul Bone?"

The quality of the corpse soul bone that can be used to refine a high-grade magic weapon must be extremely high. Could it be a product of Li Shan?

"Li Shan?
"Qingyangzi, you are indeed knowledgeable. It's a pity that this Corpse Soul Bone of mine is not a product of Lishan, but a quasi-fourth-tier spiritual object left behind by my ancestors of the White Bone Sect."

"Oh?" Fang Yi smiled knowingly, then suddenly realized. "So they dug up the tombs of the White Bone Sect's past patriarchs."

A hint of envy appeared in his eyes; the White Bone Sect actually had ancestral graves to dig up.

However, this tomb contains the remains of a demonic cultivator; if one's skills are insufficient, it could cost one's life.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Mingzi is truly enviable!"

"Qingyangzi, stop being so arrogant!"

Chi Mingzi's face showed a hint of anger. He had been hit where it hurt. Even though he was born into the White Bone Sect, he was still the most depraved person for digging up the tombs of his ancestors.

"Fang Yi, you grew up in Xuan Yang Mountain, protected by a Core Formation Realm expert above and supported by a small family below. How could you know the hardships I faced after leaving the White Bone Sect!"

"I truly envy you, fellow Daoist, for having a grave to dig up, unlike me, Fang Yi." Fang Yi felt the warm jade marrow that had been refined to half its original state in the Withered and Flourishing Small Cave Heaven, and his face showed a helpless expression. The Nether Spring Sect was also skilled in the Dao of Corpses and Puppets.

Due to the fierce competition, let alone a spirit bone that reaches the quasi-fourth rank, even a quasi-spiritual bone for a Qi Refining cultivator is fought over by countless cultivators.

When he was refining corpses in his previous life, his biggest headache was that it was difficult to harm his fellow disciples and find suitable corpses!

Chi Mingzi's face turned grim; he was utterly enraged.

"Fang Yi, you scoundrel, take another strike from my sword!"

"Hey"

Feeling the continuous refinement of the warm jade marrow, and the alternation of the five-colored spiritual light of blue, black, white, red and yellow in the withered and flourishing small cave, the five elements rotated and swallowed a mysterious energy of the Xuan Tian spiritual root. The high-grade jade marrow, which was known for its solidity and difficulty in refining, was once again worn away by 20%.

70%.
Only the final 30% is needed to completely grind the jade marrow, advance to the treasure banner, and unleash a secret technique to seal off all directions.

Fang Yi glanced at Chi Mingzi, who was furious at being stepped on, and shook his head slightly, then shook his head helplessly and said in a deep voice, "Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Chi Mingzi believe me?"

"It's nothing more than betraying one's master and ancestors, ruining one's reputation. To obtain a near-fourth-tier spirit bone is such an incredible stroke of luck."

He held the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, which emitted a precious light. The verdant branches shot out and, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars, transformed into a ferocious dragon seven zhang long. It shook its scales, bared its fangs and claws, and swam towards the Yin Soul White Bone Sword.

"Zheng!"

The Azure Dragon shook its armor, while the Yin Soul White Bone Sword crisscrossed, the two constantly clashing and violently exchanging blows, with pieces of the dragon's scales being sliced ​​off by the sword light.

"Yan!"

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded, and auspicious clouds descended from the sky, swirling around in azure mist. Scales gleaming with jade-like light began to grow back.

"The Wood Dao Master, who cultivates medicine, is not particularly skilled in combat, but his magical power is enduring and requires swift and decisive action."

Seeing that the Yin Soul White Bone Sword had the upper hand, the azure dragon transformed from the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch continued to lose momentum, but it was still unable to deliver a fatal blow.

After a moment's thought, Chi Mingzi sent a beam of spiritual light into the deep cave of Insect Mountain. Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, colorful miasma churned and two dark gold blades appeared.

"Golden Cicada Slash!"

A chilling killing intent soared into the sky, and the fully-developed killing technique emitted dark light, transforming into a shrill arc.

"clank!"

Two golden cicada slashes met, the dark gold poisonous blades slashing down, a low and painful dragon's roar echoing, the dragon's body was cut in half at the waist, turning into a pale and withered blood-red Bodhi branch.

"not good!"

Fang Yi unleashed a beam of azure light to retrieve the Blood-Red Bodhi Branch. His expression changed slightly. He silently sensed the warm, lustrous jade marrow, which was nine-tenths refined, within the Withered and Flourishing Small Cave Heaven, and anxiously asked...

"Imperial Edict!"

Azure Lotus Domain!

The Azure Lotus Banner was raised once more, transforming into a magical Azure Lotus. Green lotus seeds fell continuously from the lotus pods, taking root and sprouting, and a lotus pond of about an acre appeared.

"combine!"

The Azure Spirit Tree branches, transformed from the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner, swayed and drooped with strands of the Daoist essence of wood. Nourished by this, the Dharma Domain expanded more than tenfold in an instant.

“Little Daoer!” Chi Mingzi’s sinister gaze swept over the Azure Spirit Wood in the Azure Sky, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his withered fingertips pointed down.

The Golden Cicada Slash and the Yin Soul White Bone Sword struck down.

In an instant, sword light flashed, poisonous blades were chilling, lotus blossoms withered, and the vast sea of ​​lotus flowers in the Dharma Domain drooped.

"puff!"

In just a few breaths, the Azure Lotus Domain Golden Cicada Slash was completely shattered, the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner's spiritual light dimmed, and the pale sword light fell.

"tear!"

A corner of the azure lotus banner was cut off, the runes shattered, and the precious gold was instantly severely damaged.

"clank!"

The clanging of blades followed closely behind. The Golden Cicada Slash, as a deadly divine power, was sharp to the bone, and even a mid-grade magic weapon had its limits.

The dark golden blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, shattering two protective barriers on the Azure Lotus Banner.

Chi Mingzi wore a black lotus crown, his black hair flowed over his shoulders, his clothes fluttered, and colorful miasma surrounded him, with insects wriggling in the shadows.

He shook his head slightly and chuckled softly:
"Qingyangzi, with such a mind of cunning, you dare to come here to cause me trouble?"

Overestimating oneself!

"go with!"

"Zheng!"

With a flick of his crimson robe, three magic seals fell, swords rang out with a clang, and insects chirped softly.

"Refine swords into silk, by imperial decree!"

The Golden Cicada Slash and the Yin Soul White Bone Sword transformed into sword threads, two gold and one white threads crisscrossing, chilling to the bone, weaving into a sword net that swept towards Fang Yi.

Wherever it went, whether it was towering ancient trees or tiny insects, they were all slaughtered.

Fang Yi frowned slightly. The Golden Cicada Slash was originally a poisonous killing technique, carrying its own potent poison. After being refined into silk by the method of refining swords into threads, it became even more agile.

"We cannot confront them head-on."

Sensing Chi Mingzi's extremely subtle spying on the Azure Spirit Tree in the Azure Sky, he withdrew his divine sense from the Withered and Flourishing Small Cave Heaven, his body was enveloped in swirling mist, a blue lotus appeared beneath his feet, his figure blurred, and he vanished as a phantom.

When they reappeared, they were already a hundred feet away.

Fang Yi glared at Chi Mingzi with hatred and said coldly.

"I admit defeat this time, Chi Mingzi!"

"Wow!"

A wisp of scarlet spiritual light pulsed in and out. With a flick of his sleeve, he swept up the Azure Spirit Wood from the Azure Sky, transforming it into a blue-red escape light as he fled into the distance.

"Is there really no backup plan?"

Chi Mingzi's mind was in turmoil, while a pale white bone talisman in his sleeve emitted spiritual light.

This is a high-grade, third-tier Jade Bone Yin Escape Talisman, skilled in escape techniques. Even if a Grand Master were to activate this talisman, he would still be able to escape safely.

If he didn't have this trump card, how could he be so arrogant and domineering, getting involved in the conflict between Biyue Pavilion and Xuanyang Mountain, and scheming against Ruan Xiang and luring Fang Yi to his death?

He acted recklessly, but the precious talisman he obtained along with the corpse soul was enough to help him escape.

"We can't let Fang Yi escape!"

"Not to be missed!"

Chi Mingzi's face turned ruthless, and he stomped his left foot lightly.

"Boom!"

Within a hundred miles, wisps of miasma rose up and wriggled like tentacles. Then, the five-colored miasma intertwined, outlining the warp and weft, and transformed into a vast net that fell down from above.

"Fang Yi, now that you're here, don't leave!"

A surge of greed welled up in Chi Mingzi, making him resemble a gluttonous beast incarnate. His Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed his saliva, and an astonishing appetite emerged.

A five-colored tentacle wriggled, and insect runes flowed, pulling Fang Yi into the ground.

"boom!"

As the Insect Mountain Grottoes collapsed, sensing Fang Yi's waning aura, Chi Mingzi waved his sleeve, and a tentacle wriggled and probed into the depths of the earth.

"These ungrateful bastards have made me so cautious; I thought Xuan Yang Mountain had some other tricks up its sleeve."
So it's really that easy to defeat?

"Fang Yi, oh Fang Yi, you traveled a thousand miles to deliver a life, the gift was heavy, but the sentiment was even more so."
"Once I see you swallow it whole, skin and bones, extract the true elixir, refine your natal medicinal energy, and use medicine to nourish your Dao, your cultivation in the Dao of Poison will surely advance greatly."

He looked helpless and murmured to himself.

"If I had known it would be this easy, I wouldn't have contacted Old Monster Yuanhai. It was truly a mistake."

"Using medicine to nourish the Dao?"

A murmur arose from the crack, and the trunk of a vigorous ancient tree shot into the sky, transforming into a verdant canopy, with ripples of blue spreading outwards.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A beam of azure light shattered the wriggling tentacles and wiped away the dissipating poisonous gas. Fang Yi, wearing a blue lotus crown and a tattered robe of the Mountain and River Transformation Moon, with lotus flowers blooming beneath his feet, slowly walked out of the crack.

"Completely achieved"

The jade marrow in the withered and flourishing small cave was completely refined. The spiritual veins at the bottom of the small cave continued to wriggle and grow. The spirit stones, like scattered stars, kept bursting. In the blink of an eye, 30,000 spirit stones shattered, and the misty spiritual energy was completely swallowed up by the spiritual veins.

"Boom!"

Within the small grotto-heaven, the spiritual veins continued to grow, spreading in all directions.

Until the chalcedony was completely refined, streaks of blue and yellow light, both withered and flourishing, rotated and transformed into a large phantom of a Chinese toon tree, its crown soaring into the clouds and its roots penetrating into the ground.

"Edict!"

As the azure light gathered, Fang Yi's tall figure appeared beside the Xuan Tian Spirit Vine. After absorbing a wisp of Xuan Tian Qi energy, he transformed into an azure rainbow and merged seamlessly with the illusory image of the Great Chun Tree.

The Daoist principles of Jia wood and Yi wood flow and change, transforming into a Taiji diagram.

"Wow!"

The giant Chinese toon tree, stretched to its limit, with its branches clinging tightly to the inner wall of the cave, stretched out, its massive canopy pushing the sky higher and higher.

Twenty feet.
Thirty zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Fifty feet.
Eighty feet.
Hyakujo
Underground, gnarled tree roots extend, dark rivers churn, mineral veins form the framework, and the power of wood spirits acts as the meridians, sustaining the earth's continuous expansion.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual vein advanced further, and the withered and flourishing small grotto-heaven was transformed into a blessed land.

"Among the ten ancient sects, the Earth Immortal Dao lineage, the Wuzhuang Temple, pioneered the path of creating blessed lands and grotto-heavens."

The first stage gathers spiritual energy at the nodes of the spiritual vein, transforming it into a spiritual domain; the second stage uses the entire spiritual vein as its foundation, evolving into an acquired spiritual land.

The third tier involves the Dao of the Universe, and cannot be broken through without the mutual generation of Yin and Yang or the complete presence of the Five Elements.

Fang Yi murmured to himself, then reached out and the ethereal blue spirit in the azure sky dissipated, revealing an ancient and simple precious banner in his palm.

'The previous Ku Rong Xiao Dong Tian was merely a pseudo-Dong Tian, ​​cleverly transforming into a quasi-third-order spiritual land.'

Now, the jade marrow refined from the essence of the Azure Sea Town Ruler and the Nine Springs Abyss spiritual vein has finally been purified and advanced to the third-tier blessed land.

With a flick of his palm, the precious banner in his hand caused the silver cosmic power of the blessed land to flow and evolve, transforming into ripples that completely disrupted the space around Insect Mountain, seemingly shrouded in a blurry phantom, isolating the inside from the outside.

"Qingyangzi, you had this planned all along!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Chi Mingzi unleashed a sword light that slashed down a hundred miles away. Silver ripples spread out and silently swallowed the sword light.

"The power of the universe is disrupting space?"

His expression was solemn as he stared at the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner in Fang Yi's hand. Eight precious restrictions intertwined and shone brightly, giving rise to ancient trees reaching the sky and moss spreading everywhere. The rich power of the cave heaven rushed towards him.

"The Cave Heaven Treasure advances to a higher level and even evolves into a third-tier blessed land?"

"Is it that top-grade chalcedony?!"
