Tao and Heaven

Chapter 175 The Arrival of the Golden Core Semi-Immortal
The sound was like thunder, shaking Bai Dixun's mind. The anger in the tiger's eyes was extinguished in an instant, and a ray of clarity emerged.

The gap between geniuses and mediocre people is all-encompassing. They are extremely arrogant, but they are definitely not mentally deficient and unable to judge danger.

Gu Wen in front of him was holding the fairy sword in the scabbard, his eyes were like an unstoppable three-foot green sword, like the fairy sword piercing into the body's internal organs, making Bai Dixun want to retreat.

"If you retreat like this, how can you ascend to the immortal world with an invincible heart?"

A surge of arrogance suddenly emerged, the retreat in Bai Dixun's eyes disappeared, his breathing calmed down, and the speed of his healing increased suddenly.

Tao Heart is something that is acquired after birth and comes from the heart. It is difficult for external forces to detect, and even more difficult for oneself to discern. Is your Tao Heart a persistence driven by some desire, or a sunk cost of not being willing to fail?
Among ordinary people, there are scholars who can become seventy years old, and among monks, there are also many who can die of old age at the age of five hundred.

Only when facing life and death can one discern the heart of Tao.

Rather die than retreat, rather lose than run away!
His mind was clear, his magic power flowed freely, and Baidi's magic power was like a rushing river, as if he had regained the elegance and grace of 30,000 years ago in an instant.

After 30,000 years of long sleep, his body had already lost its previous cultivation. In order to freeze his life span, his cultivation, foundation, and soul were all obstacles. Just as the decay of a living being begins from the internal organs, the biggest risk of self-sealing is that his magic power and soul are still active.

If you are not careful, your lifespan may come to an end and you may die of old age quietly.

Self-proclaimed is equivalent to rebuilding, so only the truly extraordinary geniuses would consider it.

Bai Di took half a step forward in the faint pursuit of the aura, as if he could break through the seventh level of Taoism at any time.

Click!

Gu Wen used one hand to push open the arm of the Dharma image, and cracks appeared in the golden light. He immediately took a half step back to break away from the Dharma image, and at the same time, he slowly drew out the magic sword with his right hand.

At this moment, Bai Dixun had no way to retreat, and it was useless for Ao Heng below to rescue him.

The other four holy sons below also started to move. The fire phoenix rose into the sky, the white tiger stepped into the air, the black tortoise flew away, and the demons were in an uproar.

Jun Yan stepped on the black tortoise with one foot, Xiao Yunyi chopped down the white tiger with one sword, and then they had enough strength to drive thousands of swords to attack the other monsters that were as numerous as small fish.

All parties are restless, and Gu Wen is not alone.

The immortal sword slipped through the scabbard with a sound like winter dew freezing into ice, crisp and cold.

It was only half an inch exposed, and the cold light reflected the rosy glow in the clouds, suppressing the brilliance of the day.

The wave-like aura emitted by the surging magic power in his body disappeared, and one third of the magic power was instantly sucked away by the magic sword, causing Gu Wen's aura to disappear in an instant.

A bright moon appeared above the sky.

The fifth level of the true sword art, the moonlight shines in the sky.

Originally, Gu Wen thought that as long as he cultivated the Nine-turn Golden Pill, he would be able to use the Sword Dao True Solution and the Immortal Sword Sheath at will. However, when the Sword Dao True Solution reached a higher level, he found that the Immortal Sword Remnant was fundamentally different from the Sword Dao True Solution.

The true meaning of swordsmanship is the method to become an immortal, and the remaining traces of the immortal sword are the things that lead to immortality.

There is a difference between the two in status, which is also reflected in the difference in mana consumption and power.

Take the same level of Tianjiao as an example, not counting those who are not immortal practitioners. As a human immortal method, Yuqing Daoji can make him invincible at the same level, and the attack of the sword can jump one level, plus the immortal sword can jump two levels, and if there is a golden light spell, it is possible to jump three levels.

It all depends on the opponent. If the opponent is very strong, it will be extremely difficult to kill the enemy across levels.

Just like Bai Dixun in front of him, who was two levels higher than himself, any other mediocre person could have been killed by one of his swords, but he was able to block two of his swords.

"You can block my two swords without dying. You are a genius."

Gu Wen admitted that the magic sword was half-out of its sheath, and as it gathered momentum, all the noise around it disappeared, as if the sharp edge that permeated the void had been cut off along with the sound.

This time it was Baidi Xun Wuyan's turn, and his words during the fight showed the calmness of a superior.

At this moment, the offense and defense have changed. He is no longer qualified to speak. He must fight Gu Wen with all his strength, otherwise he will be the one to die.

Gu Wen pulled out the magic sword completely, and boundless sword light flew in all directions like a beam of light. Afterwards, he did not use too many magic moves, but just raised the sword in a simple and unpretentious manner and slashed out again.

The sword fell, and a bright moon slowly descended, tearing the sky apart, covering half of the sky.

The White Tiger's Dharma image was completely healed, and the White Emperor disappeared in search of his true body. His eyes, like huge rocks in the mountains, shone with spirit.

Billions of scriptures flowed in the purple eyes, and golden lines began to spread into the void, imprinting in the void like billions of stars.

The vast and ancient atmosphere is like a long tiger roar.

Jun Yan arrived with a voice message.

"Hongchen, this is one of the thirty-six methods of becoming an immortal, the Four Symbols and White Tiger Method. According to legend, it can shatter the enemy's soul with just a glance, and when it is refined to the extreme, it can even reach the power of the Four Symbols. The Four Symbols are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They represent the great trend of heaven and earth, and correspond to the foundation of heaven and earth of the Five Elements."

The Four Symbols and the Five Elements constitute the most basic laws of heaven and earth. If you want to practice Qi, you will inevitably touch the Five Elements. If you want to practice Fa, you will touch the Four Symbols.

The five elements are the earth, and the four symbols are the sky.

Cultivation is about returning to the original simplicity. At this moment, Bai Dixun occupied a quarter of the sky and was using his great power to overwhelm others.

One point of strength can borrow ten points of strength from heaven and earth.

"There is no way to stop now. You attack and defend. If you can't stop him later, I will attack. If you can stop him, I will sneak attack and try to kill him."

One breath of communication through spiritual thoughts is equivalent to hundreds of sentences, and the cultivator's soul can process thousands of pieces of information and complete thinking in half a breath.

Jun Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with the sneak attack. In his opinion, this was a fight between humans and demons, and there was no morality. Just like what Qing Cangxian said, humans and demons cannot coexist, it was very popular among the younger generation of demons.

Only half a breath has passed.

The tiger's might is like a mountain, holding up the sky to block the silver plate.

Pure magical powers and spells attack each other. When the power of the attacking means reaches the level of immortality, all other means will hardly be effective.

What remains is just a competition of all past foundation, a competition of the level of martial arts, and even more a competition of each other's foundation.

There are also differences between the methods of becoming immortal. In terms of attack, the Immortal Sword is better than the White Tiger Method. The sacred mountain forged by the scriptures was slowly cut open, and the falling momentum of the bright moon could not be stopped.

The White Tiger's Dharma image shattered in an instant, and an ancient pattern emerged from his eyes. The sword light shattered at the touch, and the silver plate was stained with a touch of earthy yellow, like a thick layer of grease.

The sword light slashed down, and the forearm of Bai Dixun's demon body was neatly cut off. After the sword light cut off the arm, it spread over the body, leaving a sword mark covering the abdomen and back, a hundred meters long, and blood fell like rain.

Bai Dixun was panting, his eyelids half-lidded, as if they might close at any time, and his whole body was extremely weak.

But he didn't die, at most he was half disabled.

Not dead?

Gu Wen showed surprise. He had already used up most of his magic power, and the opponent was only two levels higher in Taoism than him. Even with such a full-strength attack, he still couldn't kill Bai Dixun.

Bai Dixun's throat seemed to be broken, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What are the three swords?"

He blocked the opponent's third sword, which was also the strongest one.

Gu Wen had a hint of approval in his eyes, and he raised his head slightly and said, "You have enough to be proud of yourself for taking three of my swords without dying."

quiet!
Everyone looked in shock; even Jun Yan, who was preparing for a sneak attack, was a beat slow.

Arrogant people are common, but very few are so arrogant towards a genius.

Either he was beaten to death, or he realized that the gap between the geniuses was not that big. Even someone as strong as Ao Heng had a normal attitude towards Gu Wen at the beginning and did not call him bastard.

Now Gu Wen was so arrogant in what he said to Bai Dixun.

This was a peerless genius from the White Tiger clan who had accumulated 30,000 years of experience and came here to become an immortal. He was not a dog on the side of the road. The demons' arrogance suddenly dropped by half, and the demons who had been soaring into the sky with great momentum all stopped at the same time.

This is what a mob is like. Although they have come across the border under the orders of various demon saints, it does not mean that they will fight to the death. When it comes to a specific individual, they will avoid disaster and seek fortune.

The ancestors had already agreed at the beginning that with the Four Prodigies in the front, they were just here to help.

Now the human race genius is so fierce that he can suppress the white tiger clan genius so much that he cannot even raise his head.

not dead!

On the other side, Ao Heng was extremely surprised. He was really afraid that he would be played to death by this stupid cat.

Gu Wen's existence gave him a great sense of crisis, and he was convinced that this person would be his great enemy in the future. Even his reason told Ao Heng that even if Gu Wen reached the seventh level of Dao Foundation Perfection, he might not be able to defeat Gu Wen even if he exerted his full strength.

In this case, you must have allies, otherwise you will be beaten in the future.

Suddenly, a wisp of black gas appeared behind Bai Dixun. The extremely yin energy made Bai Dixun's hair freeze. One of the dry and pale old hands stretched out and suddenly grabbed the heart.

But at this moment, Bai Dixun was no longer able to dodge. After a cultivator exerted all his strength, he would be in a state of exhaustion for a short period of time, perhaps only for a few breaths, but it was enough for someone with ulterior motives to launch a surprise attack.

"not good!"

Ao Heng's expression changed drastically, and he continued to soar into the sky, taking the attacks from Chiyuzi and Chanxi behind him. Large pieces of his scales and flesh were torn, and he was slightly slowed down for half a second.

This half-second difference meant that he was unable to rush to the rescue in time.

A piece of ancient yellow paper flew out from Bai Dixun's hair, and a dim circle of light blocked Bai's hand.

when!
There was a crisp sound of impact, and the sharp nails of the white hand broke. Then, thousands of dry corpse hands suddenly stretched out from the black air and hit the aperture like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

Groan!
The dragon roared to the sky. Ao Heng slapped the black air away with his tail and picked up Baidi to fly away for more than ten miles.

When the two high-level fighters escaped, the other monsters also had a reason to turn around and follow them without hesitation, almost risking their lives.

In the extraordinary world of individual power, human wave tactics still work, but there is a prerequisite: the high-end combat power of both sides must be kept under control.

They are like the ragtag army of ordinary people in war, with their morale as scattered as a pile of sand. Their role is only to expand their advantages and fight a favorable battle, rather than to turn the tide against the wind.

Xiao Yunyi waved his hand and more than a dozen slow-running monsters died on the spot.

A quarter of an hour later, the two sides were sitting on the top of the mountain facing each other, separated by dozens of miles.

"Why aren't these monsters leaving? If they don't want to leave, then don't leave. We might as well just chase them and kill them."

Akabaneko showed anger on her face, and fire erupted from her clenched fists.

She could understand why these monsters didn't leave. They were waiting for her to enter the cave before encircling and attacking her.

Although Gu Wen's three swords subdued the group of monsters, the monsters had not suffered any substantial losses and were still in the upper hand.

Gu Wen shook his head and said, "Our goal is to allow you to enter the cave and replenish your three souls and seven spirits, rather than wasting them meaninglessly."

To enter the cave, one needs to fight with the half-immortal soul clone, and Chiyuzi cannot have any other consumption now. If he consumes energy or even gets injured in order to kill these demon clan geniuses, it will not be worth it if Chiyuzi dies in there.

Now, every little bit of consumption will reduce Chiyuzi's success rate and will also affect Gu Wen's ability to obtain a fighter with the potential to become an immortal.

Once you become a saint with an immortal body, you can still make a lot of money even if you use it as a meat shield.

"You don't need to worry about us. At worst, we can run away first and come back to pick you up later."

Chi Yuzi frowned. She still felt that the safety of Gu Wen and others was not safe in this situation.

Since the enemy dares to surround us, they must have means to keep us alive. It is impossible for us to escape so easily.

"Be obedient, don't be so nagging."

Gu Wen did not give Chi Yuzi a chance to hesitate. He pushed her all the way to the entrance of the cave with two mountains as an arch. The golden film blocked all external objects, and even divine thoughts could not penetrate.

"Hongchen, if I die."

Akabane used Gu Wen's body to cover his face, revealing fear that could not be seen elsewhere. The words were blocked by Gu Wen when they reached his lips.

"Remember to leave the shell for me. I really need top-quality natural treasures right now."

Hearing this, Chi Yuzi stamped her feet in anger, slightly showing her fangs, and said viciously: "I am going to fight to the death with a half-immortal, can't you care about my safety a little bit?"

"Because I believe you are not inferior to her. We are the immortals who have become immortals, and how can those sleeping talents who have lived for who knows how many years compare to us?"

Gu Wen smiled, Akabane was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Wait for me to come out, and I'll take you to kill everyone and eat monster meat!"

Akabanezi turned around and transformed into a three-meter-tall golden man. He stepped over the golden light and saw a golden avenue stretching for ten thousand meters. At the end, there were ninety-nine steps nine feet high.

A petite girl in red stood on the steps with her back to her. She seemed to notice her entry and turned to look at her. Her small and delicate features were as cold as ice.

Akabane took a step forward and shot out across a distance of ten thousand feet, then stepped onto the stairs one step at a time, and each step felt like a mountain pressing down on him.

The Ten Thousand Swords Dao of Tianquan Mountain is a squeeze on the Dao of Sword, and the Nine-Nine Golden Dao here is for the golden elixir and the body.

Without the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir, you are not even qualified to embark on this path.

Bang!
Take one step onto the ninety-nine steps and you will see the red-robed immortal at the golden gate in the distance.

Akabane clenched his fist and said, "Old woman, I am here to take your immortal path."

"Who taught you that?"

The girl in red frowned slightly. Although her sister was usually very rude, she had never cursed at anyone.

Her sister seemed different from before, becoming somewhat strange and distant from her.

"A person who is more powerful than you. Not long ago, he was a junior who begged me to teach him swordsmanship. He only needed to practice for less than half a year to reach the top three of the second list of humans and earth, and then he jumped five levels and forced the number one genius of the demon clan to use his full strength, suppressing the peerless genius of the White Tiger clan 30,000 years ago so that he couldn't raise his head."

Akabane walked towards him step by step, the timidity in his eyes gone.

"He is the future Sword Immortal. He will be number one in the world in the near future. He is a genius who can be compared to Immortal Qingcang."

The girl in red said calmly: "You have high expectations of him, but you are not him."

"I want to watch him reach the top and get a glimpse of his era. In this great world of immortality, where countless geniuses have crossed over for a hundred thousand years, he will become the strongest. So I must survive."

Akabane stopped ten feet away, clenched his fists suddenly, and the incomparable power shook the void, and a pair of light feathers spread out.

"Sister, I have to survive."

"I've been keeping you alive."

The woman in red transformed into a nine-foot tall glazed golden figure. Chiyuzi became half the size in front of her. She came over with boundless power and revealed her Taoist foundation.

Ninety-eight Taoist bases, the true body of a semi-immortal!
She didn't want to enter the game in her true form, because if the goddess was ruthless and forced her to leave behind her, her ten thousand years of cultivation would be destroyed in an instant. But Xuan Yue appeared, and Chi Ling had to enter the game in her true form to control the overall situation.

"I will only contribute half of my strength. If you win, I will let you live for a thousand years."
