Tao and Heaven

Chapter 147 Qingcang Reappears
There was a hint of strange color in the green python's pupils.

Suanren is not the strongest among them. Qingmang is confident that he can defeat this spoiled little boy, but the opponent is not much weaker either.

Moreover, he is the nephew of the Lord of the Angri Cave, and the contemporary genius of the Suanni clan. Above him, there is a Lord of the Cave who is comparable to a semi-immortal to protect him, and below him, there are various means to protect his life. It is extremely difficult to kill him, but how come he died not long after entering the human territory?
Could it be some Taoist goddess who killed him?
"Who killed him?"

"I don't know. At that time, I was communicating with Suanren Shenmin. He used the secret method to find the secret realm of the Earth's End and excavated it, and then suddenly the connection was cut off. When I flew into the air to check the situation, I only saw a giant hand in Qingkong hitting the Angri Demon Saint back."

Jin Yuzhi, a genius of the Golden-winged Roc clan, hovered thousands of feet in the sky, looking at all directions of the South Water. She could even take in insect eggs thousands of miles away.

To take in the universe with just the gaze is one of the magical powers of the Golden Winged Roc clan.

Sight is the most direct and easily detected means of investigation.

But once the distance exceeds a certain point, visual observation is the least likely to be detected, because many people have become accustomed to being alert to spiritual thoughts.

"When I went to see Suan Ren again, there was only a headless corpse left. There was also the prodigy from the Yu Jian Sect fighting with the guardian of Suan Ren. In the end, the prodigy from the human race won. The golden light on this woman is probably the legendary Golden Light Curse."

"Golden Light Spell?"

The green python showed some vigilance.

"I heard that this method is invulnerable to all attacks. Any attack by magical powers or spells will inevitably lead to a situation where one side gains while the other loses, and it will be difficult to break through it. How strong is she?"

As the name suggests, supernatural powers are the ability to know everything.

The Golden Light Mantra is one of the most superior magical powers in the world and it must be taken seriously.

"She is at level 66, but for some reason her actual aura is much stronger. That yellow-skinned old slave is a demon king at level 84, but he had no power to resist her. Even his demon pill was powerless. Maybe she has level 13 power."

Jin Yuzhi gave a very high evaluation. She only had to observe from a distance and could judge Chiyuzi's approximate strength without having to detect his aura.

"He died before the demon pill was produced?"

Qingmang's mind trembled, and he said solemnly: "I'm afraid it has the power of the fourteenth level, which is even more difficult than the ordinary fourteenth level."

The most feared thing in a battle of wits is someone who reaches the extreme. Ordinary people are well-rounded in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. To put it bluntly, they cannot reach perfection and can only rely on numbers.

Formations, talismans, elixirs, magical instruments, etc.

When mediocre people fight, they often use many methods, but the truly strong ones only have one unique trick that they can use to conquer the world.

"Why would the Yu Jian Sect's genius get involved in this matter? They have a good relationship with the Sanqing Dao Sect?"

Then he was very confused.

If the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect is willing to offer the elixir of immortality, then they can directly find a semi-immortal-level strongman, such as the Taoist Emperor of Daqian.

He has great magical powers and is blessed with the dragon vein of luck, making him stronger than ordinary semi-immortals in the land of immortality.

Jin Yuzhi shook her head and said, "I don't know, but a human cultivator told me that the Dao Sect's group is no ordinary person. The Sword Dao True Explanation, the Demon Sect's Heir, the Nine Transformation Golden Pill, and the Three Pure Ones, each of them possesses unique skills."

"Can we really stop them with just a few of us? Could it be that the goddess was responsible for Suan Ren's death? If it were us, we wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow."

The golden-winged Roc was worried and wanted to escape vaguely.

Because their clan's cave was not taken down by the Immortal Qingcang, and there was no blood feud that could not be avoided, her parents and relatives were still there.

Now I am here just for profit, to provide information and get benefits.

But once she entered the game, she suddenly realized that things were somewhat out of her scope. On the surface, they were all geniuses of the same generation, and the difference in their Taoism was not that big, but secretly, various semi-immortals had made moves more than once.

"We will not be the straw that breaks the camel's back, that would be too dangerous. But we will be among the people who push when the wall falls. If we don't make a contribution now, the building will collapse in the future."

The green python's pupils, which were as big as a bull's head, were filled with hatred, as if flames were burning in them.

It is the legitimate son of the Bashe royal family. Thousands of years ago, when he was still in the eggshell, the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect led the human race's flying boat to the Bashe Cave Heaven and forcibly sacrificed billions of monsters in the entire cave heaven.

Thousands of snake branches, hundreds of millions of fellow tribesmen, parents and relatives all turned into a pool of blood, staining the entire sky.

At that time, his spiritual power was still weak, and he only knew that the elders of the tribe risked their lives to send him out.

Then, the immortal Qingcang used the Bashe Cave Heaven as a stone to knock down the Xiangyao, Mingshe, and Xuangui Cave Heavens. Hundreds of millions of compatriots in the past homeland became playthings in the hands of the human immortals, knocking down more demon cave heavens like a stone breaking a bubble.

This hatred is irreconcilable.

The green python slightly opened its mouth, revealing thousands of teeth densely packed together, with broken limbs and human bone fragments mixed in the gaps.

"If I can make her take action once, what does it matter if she dies?"

crazy.

A trace of fear flashed across Jin Yuye's face, then she spread her wings and flew away, gathering together the geniuses of various demon tribes roaming around the entire Nanshui border.

With a loud eagle cry, monsters of various shapes and sizes gathered from all directions.

Or crawl, or walk, or fly.

Wherever it passed, human lives were like dry grass meeting fire, and entire villages and towns turned into bonfires.

More people fled to the north, the rumor of demonic disaster became prevalent, and people were in panic for a while.

Those who were desperate simply joined the Nanchun Army. The chaotic army attacked and captured cities like a prairie fire, conquering one town in half a day and one city in a day.

The Linchuan Imperial Guards crossed the narrow valley, with their flags fluttering, their black armor cold, and their steps in step.
-
South Water Southeast.

Gu Wen and his group are looking for the next secret realm. Since it is a secret realm prepared by Yu Jianmen for Chi Yuzi, it is more like going to an orchard to pick herbs rather than going treasure hunting.

"Is this the Earth Core Crystal?"

Gu Wen was holding a pale yellow crystal, which was about half the size of his fist. It was extremely heavy in his hand, estimated to be around 100 kilograms.

When the divine sense probed inside, a golden halo could be seen.

This was dug out from Suanren's abdomen. He obviously knew that good things should be eaten immediately, but he didn't have time to digest it.

"How to take it?"

"Eat it directly, just like the fruit of the Ancestral Spirit Tree. Often the best natural treasures don't need to be refined."

As Akabane answered, she took the Earth Core Crystal, put it in her mouth, bit off the outer shell and spit it into her hand, soon revealing the orange-yellow core inside.

Strands of special energy filled the air, and the heavy pressure created by the thick earth made people's bodies sink slightly, and tiny dents began to appear on the ground with them as the center.

It was as if I was in the abyss of the sea, with endless pressure pouring down on me.

Akabane swallowed the core in one gulp, and the thick earth energy gradually disappeared.

"Here, eat this shell."

Gu Wen took the four petals of the Earth Core Crystal shell, wiped it with his clothes, and swallowed it.

[Take the Earth Core Crystal Shell, condense the Golden Elixir, subtract thirty years of Heavenly Marrow from the Sixth Rank Golden Elixir, and the required Seventy Years of Heavenly Marrow]

【Forty Years of Tiansui】

Taking it directly reduces the need for Tiansui,

Gu Wen looked inward at his Qi sea. It had consumed about one third of his mana to kill Suan Ren previously, and he had used his flesh and blood to replenish his mana to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core. Now, the mana reserves of the fifth level of the Golden Core have not yet been replenished.

Generally speaking, a breakthrough requires a portion of the total stock that overflows, about one third, so you need to take elixirs or elixirs.

Half a day later, Gu Wen and others found the entrance to the secret realm.

This secret realm is much larger than the previous cave. It has a Taoist temple for people to rest, and there is a formation for protection on the outside. There is also a temple in the center that holds the earth core crystal.

Crystal clear water droplets dripped down bit by bit. These were the essence of the earth veins gathered by the secret realm, and the earth core crystals were condensed through the Temple of Heaven built by the Yu Jian Sect.

Akabane came down from the Temple of Heaven and said, "It will take another three or four days for the Earth Core Crystal to condense. Let's use the formation here to repair it first."

Gu Wen nodded, then found a room, cleaned it up with magic, and settled Yu Hua down.

At this time, Yu Hua's eyelids began to droop again. He felt sleepy again not long after waking up.

Gu Wen said: "You are in a very bad condition, maybe we should run."

They were not without a way out, Ao Tang could take them away. But now it was profitable to stay in Nanshui, and there was no place in the world more suitable for practicing the Nine Transformations Golden Pill.

There is also Akabane's request that Gu Wen needs to help her get the remaining earth core crystals.

But if the price is that Yu Hua's condition continues to deteriorate, he will choose to run. Finding the elixir of immortality is the key.

"I'm fine." Yu Hua shook his head, and then seeing the worry in Gu Wen's eyes, he explained in a slow voice: "I am sleepy to offset the burden of Master Qingcang's power. Sleep can prevent damage and shorten life."

She pulled Gu Wen to sit aside, and gathered her magical power with her fingers, writing something stroke by stroke on his palm.

"Back then, an immortal attacked you in Tianquan Mountain."

Gu Wen's eyes changed, and his breathing became noticeably more variable, but he then calmed down with his extremely high composure.

"Who?" "I don't know, but you don't need to worry too much, because this is something you can't solve at the moment, and I will help you block it."

"But this will only lead to endless consumption. You have to protect me and deal with the outer world. Now you can't fight against the demons anymore."

Gu Wen had already thought about escaping.

We didn't take action before because the situation was unclear, but we are taking action now because the losses may be even greater.

Yu Hua held Gu Wen's hand, exerting a little force as if to comfort him, and said, "You can't escape. The situation of the demon clan is different from that of the major immortal sects. They are not after the immortality elixir, but only to kill you and me. This is a blood feud."

Gu Wen was no longer in the ignorant state of a beginner. He shook his head and said, "But they are monsters after all. If we leave Nanshui, will these monsters be able to go deeper?"

Humans and demons cannot coexist. Nanshui is at the border, so they dare to come in, but Huoyun Cave and Linchuan are far away from the border.

The various forces are not of one mind, and the geniuses of the demon clan also have to worry about being shut out.

"I don't need to listen to you completely."

"."

Gu Wen really wanted to slap himself in the face. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Help Chiyuzi cultivate an immortal body. She will be able to play a huge role in the future."

"But it's not worth the risk."

"worth."

Yu Hua's voice was tired, and he leaned slightly against Gu Wen and said, "Besides, as the descendants of our great master, we cannot run away when facing the monsters. In the past, the monster disaster caused turmoil in the 80,000 miles of mountains and seas of the human race for 800 years. Great Master Qingcang lost his father to monsters when he was young, his mother to monsters when he was young, and his city to monsters when he was an adult."

Traces of murderous intent came through the palm of his hand, not directed at Gu Wen, but instead made him, who was also a Yuqing Taoist, see fragmented scenes full of murderous intent.

Thunder and lightning, purgatory on earth.

"Later, he joined the Yuqing sect branch and learned the mysterious magic. However, before he could fully develop his wings, a demon king came to threaten him. The Yuqing sect branch fought hard and the disciples fled. In the end, only the master survived. After that, the master fought with the demons on the border of the human race, and was active in killing demons everywhere, but he still could not change the decline."

"It was not until our master attained enlightenment and turned the world around that the human race prospered today."

Yu Hua looked at Gu Wen's ordinary face. The murderous intent transmitted through Yuqing Daoji could not affect him at all.

Gu Wen remained calm and said, "But now the human race and the immortal sects no longer care about the blood feud of the past. I can't let you take risks for it. Don't fight out of pride."

Everyone can be passionate, but there must be someone who stays sober.

The two looked at each other for a long time, neither of them could persuade the other.

Yu Hua sighed and said, "How about letting Master make the decision?"

She can no longer control Gu Wen.

"Master can make the decision?"

Gu Wen keenly perceived the key point. He had long guessed that Immortal Qingcang was not "dead", but he did not expect that he could still communicate.

"As long as you have the Jade Purity Dao Foundation, you can communicate with the Grandmaster briefly. You don't need to figure out the specific reasons, but you must listen to the Grandmaster."

"I will naturally listen to the immortal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky spun and the earth spun, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a giant that reached from heaven to earth. Mountains and ridges were no higher than his ankles, and the sea of ​​clouds was no higher than his shoulders. His eyes were like the sun and the moon, and his breath turned into wind, and his breath gathered into the sea.

Compared to immortals, I am like an ant.

As soon as Gu Wen thought of this, the figure in front of him suddenly grew thousands of times taller, growing endlessly with no end in sight.

I was so arrogant as to compare myself to an ant.

Suddenly all thoughts stopped. Gu Wen could no longer see the immortal. Only a blank space remained, and a subtle thought came to him.

It was not hatred towards the monsters, but a soothing effect like a gentle breeze that calmed all restlessness and uneasiness.

"There is no shame in running away, you are right."

Suddenly, Gu Wen came back to his senses and saw Yu Hua's inquiring and curious eyes.

"How was it? Were you reprimanded by the master?"

Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said, "It's up to you. We can continue to stay in Nanshui to help Chi Yuzi complete his immortal body, but we can't keep jumping into the fire pit. We have to avoid it if we need to."

"Then I will naturally listen to you."

Boom!

The cave was shaking slightly, someone was attacking the formation.

Gu Wen walked out of the room, and Chi Yuzi was about to find him, saying, "Someone is attacking the entrance to the cave."

"how many people?"

"The two little demons are at the fourth and fifth levels of Dao Foundation respectively. Their strength is not too bad, but it is far from the level of those demon geniuses that Jun Yan mentioned."

"So you dare to attack us?"
-
Outside the secret cave.

A man and a woman, holding a compass-like treasure, stood in front of the cave entrance and continuously cast various spells to break trees and crack rocks.

They did not determine the location of the entrance, but simply carried out a plowing survey in a dignified manner.

Gu Wen walked out of the cave holding a sword and bumped into them as soon as he went out.

The man and the woman suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and took a half step back. However, they were still standing still because they were not as strong as Gu Wen Daoji.

"Wait, he is only at the fifth level of Dao Foundation."

The banshee's strength is also at the fifth level of Taoism, and she has reached the third level of perfection. This perfection ratio also makes her a little genius.

Compared to He Huan, it’s not too bad.

Gu Wen drew out the Zhanxia Sword, his eyes were cold, he took a step forward, the sword light was bright, and in an instant his head fell to the ground.

The banshee is beautiful, her head is as big as a melon, and her blood is still red.

At the fifth level of Taoism, he didn’t even have the chance to stand in front of Gu Wen.

The male demon at the side was stunned, and fell to the ground with a thud. His mouth opened and closed with trembling, and the hair on his body grew wildly. He could no longer maintain his transformation and turned into a horse-faced monster.

"Spare my life."

Gu Wen responded with a cold look, raised his hand and two sword lights flashed, one cut off his legs, and the other cut off his hands. A shrill wailing resounded throughout the forest.

I wonder if it will attract other enemies?

He stepped on the horse's face and said coldly: "You can speak now. How many monsters do you have?"

Brush brush!
There was a sound of raiding among the mountains and forests, and a strange light flashed in the horse-faced monster's eyes, as if he was brewing some kind of magic.

But Gu Wen's sword was faster, and it destroyed the soul in an instant, splitting the head in two.

The reason why he crippled the opponent first was because Horse-Face was dishonest. Although he said he would spare his life, his magic power never stopped.

After Gu Wen took out the magic pill, he turned around and prepared to chase into the forest. Just as he took a step, he saw Chiyuzi coming back with blood on his hands.

She was holding a huge field mouse in her hand, which was as big as a ten-year-old child, and it was trembling in her hands.

"Great Immortal, spare me, I will tell you everything, I will tell you everything!"

The rat demon's magic power did not move at all, and it was obvious that he was a coward.

"What demon are you?"

Gu Wen inserted the Zhanxia Sword into the right side of the mouse's head. The mouse's fat body trembled, and he quickly bowed his head and replied, "I am a mountain god from a tribe outside the Great Wall. I was captured to serve the Holy Son of the Sky Fox Clan, and then followed him into the territory of Daqian."

The Holy Son of the Sky Fox Clan? Since his servants are all nearby, then he must be nearby too?

Gu Wen pondered for a moment, and murderous intent arose.

Since you have no intention of leaving, you should plunder the demon pills at will and strive to obtain the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill as soon as possible.

He had never been afraid of monsters, but was worried about consuming too much energy for Yu Hua. The so-called geniuses of the monster race were not much different from those of the human race. Those of the same realm were not qualified to stand in front of him. Those who were one level higher and without perfection would die, those who were two levels higher and without magical powers would die, and those who were three levels higher and were not geniuses would also lose.

Seeing that he did not speak, the field mouse trembled even more violently, and without further questioning continued:
"If the Immortal wants to find the Holy Son, I can point out the location. I only beg the Immortal to spare my life. I am just a servant, a small mountain god outside the Great Wall, and I have never killed anyone."

"What is his cultivation level?"

"Dao Foundation. Sixth and fifth levels are complete."

It turns out that he is just an ant whose Tao foundation is two levels higher than his own!
Gu Wen was determined to kill.
