Tao and Heaven

Chapter 158: Immortal Sword and Elixir of Immortality
"This dead bird."

Akabane turned into a ray of golden light and soared into the sky; the firebird flapped its wings slightly and flames filled the sky.

boom!
A punch was thrown out, the wind from the fist shattered the flames and hit the firebird solidly. The body forged by flames exploded in the ten-mile sky like fireworks.

In a moment, the firebird regrouped, with a hint of surprise in its eyes.

The successor of the Yu Jian Sect is much stronger than he expected.

Chi Yuzi's normal combat power has reached the fifteenth level, and he can withstand the attack of the sixteenth level. He is at the opposite extreme from Gu Wen. But he is only at the top, and under normal conditions, he still has the strength of two levels higher.

The golden light once again appeared in the face of the firebird, and the flames hit his body. Akabane did not retreat at all. Instead, he used the Angri True Fire in his body to absorb the True Fire that had invaded his body.

Another punch, the firebird had more than enough attack but less defense, and once again turned into fireworks all over the sky. Then it condensed again, and naturally other aspects would make up for the weak defense.

Akabane took advantage of the victory and turned into a golden stream of light to chase the firebird.

The sky is filled with fireworks, like the twelve bells of the New Year.

Gu Wen below suppressed the rising true fire in his body, his eyes slightly fixed, and asked: "Is he the demon saint from Tianquan Mountain?"

"Angri Demon Saint, but it's just an avatar. Angri Demon Saint is good at fire magic, and is skilled in transformation. A feather can turn into a fire bird."

Yu Hua watched quietly, with no intention of taking any action.

He had taken action before because Gu Wen was unable to defeat the opponent at this stage, but now with the help of Chi Yuzi, a clone of the Demon Saint no longer needed to take action himself.

Otherwise, if a powerful clone comes down, I will need to take action once, and then when the elixir of immortality really appears in the future, my lifespan may not be enough to suppress everyone.

Gu Wen frowned and asked, "Are these Demon Saint clones so powerful?"

Just one clone has the strength of the fourteenth or even fifteenth level. Regardless of the fate of the clone, what if these demon saints use the clone to consume Yu Hua?
Yu Hua saw Gu Wen's worry and patiently explained, "The most advanced way of clone requires both a physical body and a spiritual soul. Those who can enter the realm of immortality basically have a spiritual soul. The loss of one of the three souls and seven spirits will result in the inability to make further progress in cultivation, and even the most elixir may not be able to heal it."

The magic clone golden elixir can be condensed, but it is like a projection and will become ineffective beyond a certain range.

If one wants a true incarnation, then one needs to invest a huge amount of resources, as well as the most important thing for a cultivator, the soul. Splitting the soul is also a form of self-castration, and those who pursue immortality will not split their bodies.

"However, the Shangqing Sect's immortal method of becoming three pure beings in one breath can make them the same as real people, and each of them can even exist independently."

“Who is the master and who is the subordinate?”

"There is no priority, the three combined into one is the true body. However, most people do not adopt the most primitive method of cultivation, and will divide the body into male and female bodies and a celestial body based on gender."

"What would happen if one of them changed his mind and killed the other two?"

"He can still survive, and this situation is very common. The sect records that there have been many internal conflicts among the clones of predecessors. The perfect clone method differentiates the Yin phase, Yang phase, and Tian phase. As time goes by and their experiences are different, the original selves will gradually drift apart."

“If the three eventually reach the pinnacle of practice and are willing to give up their egos, they can become one again.”

Gu Wen blinked and wanted to say something like this was some heaven-defying method to become an immortal.

How could it be possible for three differentiated individuals to voluntarily give up their true selves given that monks could easily live for thousands of years? It would be more reasonable for them to fight and devour each other.

Then I thought of Chi Yuzi, Xiao Yunyi, and even Jun Yan. It seemed that the methods of becoming an immortal were quite extreme, and it was normal for the three pure beings to have clones and seek independence.

"In fact, there is another way, that is to be a Taoist partner with both female bodies." Ao Tang appropriately showed his love of gossip. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "The Shangqing Sect has many Taoist partners, part of which is actually caused by the transformation of the Three Pure Ones into One Qi."

"When differentiating the Three Pure Ones, some manipulation is done to separate the Yin and Yang, sowing the seeds of love. This is a marriage of heaven."

It’s really fun for these Taoist men to play around and pinch their own wives.

Gu Wen asked, "I wonder if this avatar looks exactly like me, or if it can be fabricated?"

"It cannot be controlled, but generally speaking, because the Three Pure Ones' Qi is an alternative innate one, their appearance is more perfect than that of normal people." Ao Tang said with a smile: "A person with a peerless appearance based on the transformation of his true self is the most irresistible opposite sex in the world."

"Second Ancestor, are you interested?"

Yu Hua's eyes were dim, and Gu Wen said righteously, "I am not interested in women, nor am I interested in condensing my clones."

He actually wanted to know what he would look like in female form, but he was absolutely unwilling to let Gu Wen practice the Three Pure Ones.

How is this different from killing yourself?
"Hong Chen, come up and help!"

Akabane's voice was heard, and then a golden light descended and took Gu Wen away. The three-meter-tall golden man held Gu Wen, and the golden light gradually wrapped around his body.

Her golden light spell became stronger.

"This dead bird is very tricky. My attacks can't hurt him, and he can't hurt me either. Try using your magic sword."

Gu Wen nodded and drew out the magic sword. His magic power was reduced by half in an instant, and the void around him began to sharpen.

Upon seeing this, the Firebird turned around and flew high without hesitation. It fled so fast that Akabane couldn't even catch its exhaust gas, and it disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Akabane was over a thousand feet tall, and his body suddenly sank. The energy of the earth veins seemed to turn into a pair of invisible giant hands pulling downwards.

Boom!

The golden light fell and collapsed a mountaintop, causing a large landslide on half of the mountain.

Akabane's body was half sunk into the ground, holding up Gu Wen, who was a circle bigger than herself. Her small face was knitted with brows, and she made an extremely unhappy "tsk" sound.

"You let this dead bird run away. If I had known, I would have carried you up and chopped you off at the beginning."

"The demon saint is dead. I'm afraid there will be more troubles next."

Gu Wen stood up, pulled Akabane out of the mud, and raised him slightly with his hands under his armpits.

She is unexpectedly small at a height of 1.6 meters. No, Akabaneko has shrunk.

"You shrunk."

Akabane was very concerned about her height and gritted her teeth as she said, "My sister is not as tall as me. Appearance is determined by the heart. It's all because of that woman."

Gu Wen comforted him, "It's okay, it's not easy to get hit if you're smaller."

"Kill you, you bastard."

Akabane hit Gu Wen's chest with his knee. The force was so light that it would probably shatter an ordinary person's internal organs.

The two returned to reunite with Yu Hua, and Gu Wen said bluntly: "Now Nanshui is full of enemies, and our whereabouts are like fish in a pond. They can't accurately determine the location, but it's the same pond over and over again. Chiyuzi, how many secret realms do you need to go to?"

Akabane replied: "Five small secret realms take the six souls, and one large secret realm takes the heavenly soul."

"Then the route is certain. It is possible that your sister has revealed the location of the secret place to all parties."

Gu Wen made this judgment, then thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Just grab the Earth Core Crystal and deal with the rest as needed."

After all, the battle between monks depends on physical strength. Plus, they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there is very little room for maneuver.

Instead of worrying about how many enemies there are and how to deal with them, it is better to focus on making yourself and Akabane grow quickly.

[The Seventh Transformation Golden Elixir requires fifty years of natural marrow, and the Golden Elixir is as good as iron but lacks a thread]

Gu Wen is only one step away from the seventh level, and Chi Yuzi only needs to eat the earth core crystal and swallow the semi-immortal soul inside to break through.

"Protector, can you lead the three of us to move quickly?" "Of course I can."

Ao Tang turned around and transformed into a seven-meter-long nine-tailed orange cat. After the three of them sat on it, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
-
The firebird flew five hundred miles away and landed on a mountain top, turning the green mountain into scorched earth in an instant.

Lying on the ground and absorbing the fire from the earth's veins to heal his wounds, he was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

After waiting for half a day, two beams of light, one blue and one white, came from afar and transformed into a man and a woman.

"Demon Saint Angri, you can't even defeat a junior from the Yu Jian Sect. It seems that you are really old."

The man was wearing a blue-white imperial robe with short sleeves around his shoulders, a jade belt around his waist, and silver shoes on his feet. He had narrow and feminine eyebrows and eyes, and his snake tongue was spitting out.

It was not the first time that Firebird and the man met, so he just glanced at him briefly. Then he paid attention to the woman, whose white hair was like snow, and whose wide sleeves could not hide her full figure, and whose eyebrows and eyes were charming but holy.

He said in an old voice: "Should I call you Tushan Demon King or Xuanyuan Tianzun?"

"It's all me." Tu Shanyun replied: "I am both the Tushan Demon King and the Human Race's Heavenly Lord."

The Bashe Demon Saint sneered, "You are no longer the Heavenly Lord of the Human Race. If you dare to show your head again, those old guys from the Dao Sect will join forces to crush you to death, and the demon race will not help a human demon with a fox's heart."

"I can't trust you."

The Demon Saint Angri shook his head.

The previous Tushan Demon King, Tushan Yun, once had a dispute with the human race's Heavenly Lord, and was later separated by their respective elders.

Why did he think of this? Because for Tu Shanyun to take over a human body and then become a Heavenly Lord step by step, he must have the assistance of powerful human beings behind him.

There is communication between humans and monsters, or among all races.

Some humans take over the bodies of demon royal families in order to prolong their lives, while some demons yearn for the body of Tao and break free from the shackles of their bloodline to take over the bodies of humans.

Just because of Qingcang's appearance, the blood feud was abruptly created, and the difference between humans and demons was made.

Qingcang’s strength makes all the races in the world tremble in fear.

To the point that even he himself began to worry whether Tu Shanyun was a spy, a double agent planted back into the demon clan, who would defect at a critical moment and facilitate the resurrection of the great demon Qingcang.

Qing Cang once said that after a hundred reincarnations, there would be no more demons in the world.

This will not be Qingcang's last resurrection, but all he has to do is to ensure the safety of his current descendants, and future generations will take care of future matters.

Tu Shanyun knew that she had no room for explanation, so she said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, at least our goal is the same."

"Why did you get involved in this?"

"A half-immortal left a spell in my body. I need to pay for it. Is this enough?"

The Demon Saint Angri still didn't believe it. The half-immortal was also a half-immortal of the human race.

But he didn't go into it deeply. At this moment, he had to discover that everything was because of the young boy who was protected by the goddess.

The only one who has mastered the true meaning of the sword, which means that he has the possibility to master the immortal sword and become a new immortal. Even if he himself does not have the foundation of an immortal, as long as he has the immortal sword, he can be an immortal.

By then, no one will be able to stop the Three Pure Ones.

Qing Cang is resurrected and the sword immortal is born. Can the demon race still exist?
Tu Shanyun got straight to the point and said, "I need you, the descendants of this generation, to unite. Otherwise, it will be difficult to put pressure on them and make the goddess take the initiative."

"I will convey this to other cave masters."

"I need at least ten clones of the Demon Saint to take action."

"Not all demon saints have clones. What if they die and the human race starts a war?"

The Demon Saint Angri asked back, "What does the half-immortal behind you want to do?"

Naturally, it is to become an immortal.

Tu Shanyun remained silent. Her scalp was tingling. With this calculation, the immortal sword became a god, and another person who reached the peak of the golden elixir realm became an immortal.

Perhaps they are not as fierce as Qingcang in the past, who would destroy the demon clan at all costs and not mind beating himself to death, but the two new immortals are not bad either.

A ray of Tao rhyme fell, and the three demons' hearts sank, as if a ferocious beast was lying in the dark.

The whisper drifted into Tu Shanyun's ears, and she showed a look of astonishment on her face. She then relayed, "That half-immortal said that the Immortal Sword is chasing the Immortal Elixir and will arrive at Nanshui soon."

Both the Bashe Demon Saint and the Angri Demon Saint were stunned for a moment, unable to understand the logic of this sentence.

The Immortal Sword is chasing the elixir of immortality?
"Why is the Immortal Sword chasing after the Immortal Elixir?"

They can understand that the elixir of immortality is for the living, but Xianjian and Qingcang have no hatred. Could it be that Xianjian is getting the elixir of immortality for the Sanqing Taoist Sect?
Tu Shanyun shook her head. She just heard this sentence.

And because of this sentence, the demon clan will inevitably end up in trouble.

The Demon Saint Angri sent messages to all parties and summoned the geniuses in the land of immortals.

Perhaps many geniuses of this generation will die because of this, but this is the only way for now.
-
Green mountains.

The demon vine is dormant and is visited by a pig demon and a white ape.

The former was Zhu Zhen, the holy son of the Dangkang clan, three feet tall, blue in color, with two big ears and four long tusks sticking out of his mouth like ivory. His clothes were opened by his belly, and he stuffed everything he saw into his mouth.

The seven-five Taoist foundations are good defense and good power.

The white ape was wearing a white robe and holding an umbrella, and his eyes did not have the fierceness of a demon.

The seventy-sixth path foundation, mastering all dharmas.

The two demons came to the top of the mountain and saw Qing Rui restraining her breath. Zhu Zhen patted his belly and said with a sound like a bronze drum: "Qing, what's wrong with you? You are so timid, have you offended the enemy?"

"There is a man who is very strong. I can fight him, but I can't guarantee that I can win with one move, and I can't block his sword."

Qing Rui’s words are concise and to the point.

The sword of the man who fought the green python that day was very special, and even she herself estimated that she would not be able to block it. To be on the safe side, she decided to lie dormant for the time being.

The white ape took out a black iron decree and said, "The ancestor has ordered us to join forces to surround and kill the Three Pure Ones."

This time Qing Rui did not refuse. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then let's go. This Nanshui is not big, but it's not small either. It will probably take some time to find it."

The white ape turned and walked away in a hurry. Zhu Zhen followed behind him, chewing trees and plowing the soil. He asked in confusion, "Brother Bai, aren't you waiting for the others?"

"There is Tailong from the Jiaolong clan above, Saint Maiden Angri below, and all kinds of geniuses on the left and right. Do you really think you will have anything to do then?"

"But I heard that the swordsman named Hong Chen is very good, and he is a rare genius in Zhejian Mountain."

"Zhejian Mountain? Isn't it the guardian of the Three Pure Ones Sect?"

"It's being spread among the human race. It's not necessary for our clan to be the guardian."
