I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 447: Subduing the Nine Fire Dragons

For an ordinary fire dragon at the Yang God level, Xu Jia could kill it with just a swing of his sword.

After all, it is the Taoist lineage of Xu Xun, the Taoist priest, and Xu Jia has considerable experience in slaying dragons.

But these nine dragons were left behind by the Patriarch Dutian Liehuo when he ascended to the celestial being. In other words, these are nine fire dragons with the essence of celestial beings. Even if they are not celestial beings, they are at least half-step celestial beings, and immortal energy has been born in their yang gods.

In addition, the ancestor was afraid that the power of ten thousand years was too powerful and would lead to a catastrophe against the will of heaven, so he poured nine thousand years of magic power into their bodies for one thousand years each.

These nine fire dragons have not been sleeping all these years. They have cultivated magical powers and spells, possessed spiritual wisdom, and practiced the Taoism of the founder of Dutian Liehuo. During the day, they collected sunlight to condense the true fire of the sun, and at night, they collected earth veins to condense the poisonous fire of the earth. It has been more than 300 years now. To be precise, each fire dragon has about 1,500 years of magic power, which is close to the quality of a celestial being.

Just one of these is difficult for an ordinary Yangshen Zhenren to defeat, and one needs to find a magic weapon to restrain it in order to subdue it. These nine together are comparable to the time when the Grandmaster Dutian Liehuo was alive.

Although Xu Jia had cultivated himself into a yang god and obtained the talisman, he had been practicing for a short time after all. Although his body and spirit interacted with the heaven and earth inside and outside, and he had made great wishes for all living beings and had infinite feedback, his magic power had only accumulated for about 1,800 years, which was similar to Bai Suzhen, who had magic power for ten thousand years, but had not accumulated that much.

Xu Jia used the magical power of "sitting on fire" from the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques, and combined the holy fire collected from the Heavenly Fire Immortal Crystal with the Samadhi True Fire that he had cultivated to form his essence, energy and spirit, to control fire with fire.

At the same time, the magic sword was flying.

These nine fire dragons had a premonition of being born. As long as they completed the mission of their old master and found their successor, they would regain their freedom. In fact, they didn't fight them very seriously, but the more they fought, the more something felt wrong.

"Why does this guy seem to be even more powerful than the old master?"

At the same time, these fire dragons also covet the heavenly fire.

This heavenly fire is the sacred fire stolen from the Emperor of Heaven by the West. It has been passed down for many years and its origin is only found in the fairyland. It is a divine treasure from the immortals and a rare treasure from heaven. It has infinite benefits to these nine fire dragons.

If other successors came in, they would probably just spit fire to form a fire path, and if they could pass through safely, that would be considered as them passing the test.

But now, Xu Jia came here with the intention of "subduing" them. Although he was not going for the Nine Dragons' ten thousand years of magic power, he was also going for the "Nine Dragons Guardian."

When Xu Jia read the novel "Yang Shen" that year, he was very envious of the character Meng Shenji, who had nine pure yang fire dragons.

If you wait to practice Lingbao Dafa yourself, it will seem ordinary. If you specially take time to practice it, it seems like you are looking for trouble. If it is something that has already been practiced by predecessors, it would be better to grab it and use it.

More importantly, if these nine fire dragons do not submit, how can Xu Jia cosplay as the founder of Dutian Liehuo, resurrect his corpse and take these disciples in, reorganize the Huashan Sect, and pass down the Lingbao Taoist tradition in this world?
The nine fire dragons were also complaining when fighting with Xu Jia. It was OK that Xu Jia was highly skilled in Taoism, and he also had the Heavenly Fire at his side, so he was not afraid of being burned by the Heavenly Fire. Not to mention that he had such a fierce sword, which contained the murderous intent of the Three Innate Elements. If it touched them, they would die, and if it hit them, they would be injured. With one sword strike, the dragon claws were broken, and the dragon horns were broken. If they had not been bodies refined by fire and grew back quickly, they would have become disabled by now.

But even if they rise again, their spirituality is also damaged. The Wei Ji Immortal Sword not only cuts the physical body, but also the soul.

After being forced into a corner for a while, Jiulong shrank back and hid himself, unwilling to fight again. He gave way to Xu Jia so that he could go inside.

Xu Jia looked at a fiery red jade stone in the corridor, which was engraved with "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Jade", and thought to himself, "This is where the nine fire dragon spirits are hiding."

It immediately fell down.

With this lift, nine fire dragons came out again. What are you doing? Just go in, why are you prying them open?

So they fought desperately again, and for a moment the fire dragon roared and endless flames spewed out.

Outside, the entire Huashan Mountain could hear the unusual movement, and everyone became excited: "It's the Nine Dragons of the ancestors. They have awakened. I guess the inheritance of the cave will be opened soon."

"It seems to be several hours earlier than the grand festival that usually takes place once every ten years!"

“Sometimes it’s early, sometimes it’s late, that’s normal!”

Immediately, several elders of Huashan Sect opened the altar together, spit out true fire, and pulled it towards the cave.

Many people who wanted to inherit the legacy also burned incense.

But when the door to the cave was opened, balls of fire spewed out, and they were pure yang fire from the realm of immortals. A spark that came out burned the rocks.

Even though those Huashan Sect elders had practiced the Fiery Dao, they were caught off guard and were burned. They rolled over in pain and used their true Qi to subdue the flames, but it took a long time to refine them.

Instead, masters from other sects noticed something was going on: "It seems like your ancestor's fire dragon spirit is fighting someone! So powerful, nine fire dragons are being suppressed and beaten."

"No way, what does he look like?"

"I can't see clearly, but I can see that he is surrounded by layers of true fire. He also has a powerful immortal sword in operation, which cuts down the nine fire dragons and makes them retreat step by step. He is also a master of fire magic!"

"Impossible! Apart from the Grandmaster Dutian Liehuo, there is no one else in the world who is a master of fire magic. Moreover, each of these nine fire dragons has a thousand years of cultivation, and they were refined by the Grandmaster himself. The Western Desert Fire Demon wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits, but was burned to death by the fire dragon's breath and turned into an ugly monster."

"Could it be that the Fiery Ancestor did not ascend?"

"By the way, who spread the news that Master Liehuo ascended to heaven? Did anyone actually see him ascend?"

"Ascending to heaven is a very secretive matter. We must be wary of being interrupted. Apart from Qi Huizi of Louguan in the Tang Dynasty, who held an ascension meeting, and Xie Ziran and his ancestor Xie ascended on the same day, is there anyone who has ascended in front of others?"

"In case the guiding immortal light is intercepted, or the enemy causes trouble, the Fiery Patriarch is in seclusion in the cave to ascend. It is rumored that the Marshal of the Fire Department sent him an ascension talisman and asked the Thunder Department to take care of the ascension catastrophe..."

"But ascension is ascension. The ancestors of all sects have said that the Founder of Liehuo has ascended. It is impossible for him to resurrect. Unless his soul ascended and his body remained, turning into a monster like Hanba, but that is unlikely. All those who ascended have pure and spiritual bodies. If they have any resentment, they will become extremely turbid and sink into the underworld."

The group discussed, but no one dared to enter the cave and join the battle. All factions were confused. Those who remembered sent a flying sword message to their own ancestor: "Ancestor, the situation has changed."

Xu Changshou of the Shushan Sect took over a dilapidated Shushan Sect from the previous leader.

There is no way. It has been suppressed since the Tang Dynasty. It was about to take off during the Song Dynasty. As a result, thunder magic dominated the world, and the Shenxiao Thunder Magic suddenly became the top of all magic.

They thought about it carefully and realized that the names of each sect were just made up. Each one claimed that their founder was taught by Laojun himself, and that they followed the teachings of Taishang or the secret purpose of Yuanshi.

Who knows whether it was passed on or not? So by chance, Xu Changshou obtained a "Taiqing Yiqi Divine Talisman". This talisman was originally ordinary and was almost worn out. But at first glance, it was an antique from the Tang Dynasty and might be the Taiqing Taoist lineage. So they began to worship it, and now they also call themselves the Taishang Taoist lineage. Laojun passed down the teachings from generation to generation, and the ancestor was Guan Yinzi, who was related to Louguantai.

After gaining the orthodoxy, the Shushan School was no longer obsessed with preaching and teaching in Shu, but learned the shameless spirit of Shaolin, saying that "all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin" and created the saying "all swordsmen in the world come from Shushan".

I copied a few sentences from the "Duren Jing" (The Book of Deliverance) - "The Qi of the heavens is vast, and my Tao is flourishing day by day" - and took it as the "corporate spirit".

Then they set up various places, first annexing the "Jian Ge Sect" of the Shuzhong Sword Sect, then going to Qingcheng Mountain and making Qingcheng Mountain their younger brother, then joining forces with Emei Mountain, making Buddhism grow in Emei Mountain, annexing the Emei Taoist lineage, and building the Shushan Villa, where Buddhism and Taoism merged, monks made immortal swords, and sword immortals practiced Buddhism. After Shu became a solid block, they moved to western Sichuan, where there were many demons, and to Tibet, where there were even more demons. There was no incense in the Ten Thousand Mountains, so they had no choice but to leave the mountains and go to the Central Plains.

This time the Clay Buddha said: "Huashan should prosper", but Xu Changshou was very anxious, because what he was thinking was "Shushan will prosper, and the sword immortal will prosper."

Not to mention how much effort he made to help everyone refine the immortal sword and obtain the luck of a sword immortal, since the Tang Dynasty alone, several generations of sect leaders have been doing this and the practice has been developing continuously.

Only now does the "Era of Sword Immortals" come into being.

In the past, sword immortals were not common because the immortal swords were not easy to use. Although they could kill people thousands of miles away, they required a very high level of Taoism.

Shushan promoted the "Shushan Sword-riding Technique" for free, allowing people to travel by flying swords, and this is how it became popular.

It is precisely because of the "Shushan Sword-wielding Art" that martial arts in the world began to develop towards swordsmanship and evolved into various kinds of sword techniques.

But the Shushan Sword-wielding Technique was not originally created by the Shushan School. It was just a legacy passed down by our predecessors unearthed through archaeological excavations. If we erase the name, it becomes our Shushan.

Planning the inheritance of the Dutian Liehuo Patriarch and supporting the Huashan Sect, which is close to the Shushan Sect, is also one of the plans for the development of Shushan.

After Xu Changshou got the news, he started to investigate the secret immediately.

But after searching again and again, it was strange and nothing could be found.

Just because Xu Changshou couldn’t find it doesn’t mean it can’t be found in Jiuhua Mountain.

Jiuhua Mountain is the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the legacy of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is still being passed down. The contemporary abbot, by listening attentively to the divine beast under the Bodhisattva's seat, finds out what is being said in the universe, and immediately learns that there is such a person as Xu Jia, a visitor from outer space who has seized the fate of Taoist Huanglian and is walking freely in the world.

But he remained silent for a moment: "That guy is a vicious and stubborn person. If I don't speak, he will be fine. If I reveal the secret, the clouds will be cleared and the sun will be revealed. He will know that it was me who told the truth and will definitely come to trouble me."

"Besides, I heard that he has a following in the underworld. He follows the underworld's ways and travels through five hundred small worlds...but I don't know what his purpose is?"

So the abbot of Mount Jiuhua, Luohan, closed his eyes and said nothing, no longer caring about the secrets of heaven, and only preached to the disciples going to Mount Hua: "Let nature take its course."

Xu Jia also felt that Tianji was frequently trying to inquire about him. The technique of hiding one's shadow and stealing lives was just a side door method and could not withstand too many inquiries. He immediately snorted: "You bastards, if you don't surrender, I will take real action."

Huo Long'er said, "We have been here for more than three hundred years, just waiting to regain our freedom. In the free universe, no one is willing to be your servant. Even if you are serious and take that sword to kill us all, we will not obey you!"

Xu Jia sneered, and immediately activated the "Lushan Dragon-Slaying Secret Sutra" to bless the Weiji Immortal Sword.

For a moment, the nine fire dragons all felt that a great terror was coming, and their souls were in danger of being destroyed.

“But then again.” The fire dragon that had just refused to surrender suddenly changed its attitude: “If you promise to build a body for us and turn us into a living body, we are willing to surrender.”

Xu Jia chuckled: "I'm not negotiating terms with you, Wei Ji!"

"Okay, okay, please put away your magical powers. We are afraid of you! We are willing to surrender!"

Seeing that Wei Ji had not yet achieved victory, the nine fire dragons mobilized the murderous intentions of heaven, earth and man. With the blessing of the dragon-slaying secret technique of Lushan Dragon-Slaying, not only would they be able to slay their own dragon, but even the dragon god in the sky would suffer a grievance if he came.

Not to mention, they vaguely sensed the "Dragon's Fate" through the sword energy.

Xu Jia's sword killed many dragons. He wiped out all the dragons in Poyang, including more than 300 dragons. He also killed a mirage dragon in Dongting.

These are all water dragons, and at most together with the golden dragons and silver dragons, they can barely be considered earth metal dragons.

The fire dragon has not been slain yet.

If we talk about the old dragon in Poyang, he is also in the realm of immortals, and there is also a black fish lady. Individually, they are not worse than any of these fire dragons. After all, they have physical bodies and temple beliefs. It's just that their magic power is not as pure as these nine fire dragons.

When the fire dragons saw that their fire could not burn him, they had lost most of their power. They struggled with their dragon bodies, but were restrained by the magic sword and had no choice but to surrender.

Xu Jia immediately summoned the Heart Palace God, that is, the Fire Palace of the heart, Zhuling Nanchang Nangong Shangsheng. He had long since transformed from a boy into a great god of the Yangshen level.

Xu Jiacai obtained the Holy Fire Sect's Heavenly Fire Immortal Crystal to offer to the God of Fire.

The God of Fire Palace used his supernatural powers to subdue the nine dragons immediately, transforming them into a Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover, and then drilled into Xu Jia's body.

For a while, Jia's water and fire were difficult to adjust, and his whole body was on fire. His eyebrows, hair, and eyes all turned red. He could only wait until he found the water treasure and adjusted the water, fire, and wind treasures to return to his original state.

Even without the nine fire dragons, the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Wall was still a treasure, so Xu Jia put it away and went further inside.

At the same time, he pointed again, laying down a hundred-foot long fire path, on which chains grew, and he said, "I am the founder of Dutian Liehuo, who has come down to earth to continue the Huashan Taoist tradition. If you want to be my successor, you must walk across this chain!"

"He is the Fiery Patriarch at the altar?"

"I don't think so."

"actually not."

"Quite the opposite."

.........

For a moment, everyone was in shock and discussion.

However, those unorthodox sects of Huashan Sect did not think it was fake. They were not well educated and had little knowledge: "It is indeed the ancestor. I know that except for the ancestor to come to the mortal world, who else can subdue these nine invincible divine fire dragons!"

"If it was really the Grandmaster, why did the nine fire dragons attack him just now?"

"Who cares? We will return to Huashan and have someone to back us up."
