Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 165: After thousands of years of hard practice, the elixir is finally accomplished today!
"I have never been threatened by anyone in my life."

Deep red blood fell drop by drop as the Taoist nun in gray said this, which had the implication of destroying all emotions and self, and that there is nothing outside the mind, no self, no way, and no reason. Only then did she sheath her sword.

It was a flying sword with a faint golden color and an incredibly sharp sword energy. If you just stare at it for a little while, you would have the illusion that your eyes were cut.

Just now, taking advantage of the vibration of the earth veins of the entire Yellow Springs Ghost Cave, Third Uncle Mie Hongzi resolutely drew his sword, using the Taoist secret technique of nurturing the sword energy to cultivate the sword for a decade. The moment he drew the sword, it was so sharp that even a Jindan Zhenren would not be able to block its edge.

As for the two elders of the Demon Palace, they never expected that Mie Hongzi would actually dare to attack and kill them. When they realized what was happening, they flew back in horror and each used their magic weapons and demonic powers to resist, but they were completely unable to resist and thus died in an instant.

The fact that Mie Hongzi Dan has reached the middle grade cannot be considered as a pure swordsman, but her sword skills are definitely at the entry level.

The top level among amateur masters, even Lu Cheng, after watching the killing sword just now, felt frightened. He felt that if he were in the position of the two Demon Palace elders, he would probably not be able to dodge the sword. He could only calculate how much of his own blood and fire power to burn to block it.

Of course, Lu Cheng would never put himself in such a dangerous position just because he looked down on someone. He did not understand the lofty status of the elders of the Heavenly Demon Palace in the Eastern Region and the Northern Frontier, and therefore did not understand to what extent a person's mind would be corrupted after enjoying such a superior status for hundreds of years.

Rumble, rumble.

The continuous vibrations from the ground brought Lu Cheng back to his senses.

At this time, Mie Hongzi was approaching Xiao Chongzi step by step.

"No, you can't kill me. I am still very useful to the leader. If you kill me, I will be doomed forever."

"Then let your master come to me."

Mie Hongzi shouted coldly, then used his fingers as a sword to shoot out an exterminating sword energy, which directly pierced through Xiao Chongzi's head. Although he used a secret method to disperse his soul, it also gave him a quick death.

"Mo Xiuqing, Mo Xiaomei, may your soul rest in peace in heaven. Your uncle has already eliminated this evil villain for you."

Mo Xiuqing was the name of the Cangjian Palace disciple who was killed by Xiao Chongzi. Mie Hongzi traveled thousands of miles to hunt down Xiao Chongzi, largely to avenge this female disciple, even though she had never spoken a word to this female disciple before.

The hero is as heroic as any man.

"Third Uncle, the path to the Netherworld has been opened. If I am not mistaken, this is the Nine Netherworld Devouring World Formation."

With extreme magical power, he absorbed infinite Nine Netherworld Qi from the deep and boundless Nine Earths and came across the air. The Qi of heaven and earth is yang, and the Qi of the Nine Netherworld is yin. When the two converge and the yin and yang collide, even the sky will collapse and the earth will split. It is no big deal to turn the area of ​​​​a hundred miles into a dead zone.

Lu Cheng had read all of Lin Tianshu's collection of manuscripts, and had a deep impression of this top-level evil formation in the Lin family's collection.

"Junior Brother Lu, you know this formation. All right, from now on, all of us will follow your command."

Mie Hongzi said so after hearing this, and he decisively gave up his power.

"In that case, I'd rather obey your command than be respectful."

"Everyone, now fly in the direction I gave you. Pay attention and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will die and have no regrets."

"Qian, Kun, Kan, Li... Gen, Xun, Dui, Zhen..." Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, eight characters, sixty-four directions, Lu Cheng led everyone and began to fly to the deepest part of the ghost cave in Huangquan. Fortunately, the worst of the people present were at the level of Condensation of Evil, if they were at the level of Foundation Establishment, they would be dead.

At this time, the Nine Netherworld Devouring World formation has been activated. It is too late to escape outside within the range of the formation and you will surely die.

On the contrary, in the depths of Huangquan Valley, those who set off the formation will never want to die with those who enter the formation. That must be the door to life. Just like the center of a tornado in the vast sea, it is calm instead. This is the only way to survive.

At the same time, fortunately, the Ranmushan Lin family did not have a sufficiently skilled formation master who could significantly improve and modify this formation, and Lu Cheng had seen the formation diagram, so he could lead everyone to a relatively safe location.

But even so, the path to the underworld was opened, and the terrifying power of the Nine Netherworld Devouring Realm still frightened everyone present, their faces turned pale and their pretty faces lost color.

Because everything in front of him was too terrifying. Everywhere he looked, there were cracks, collapses, explosions, and waves of dark red magma rising up into the sky like the blood of the earth. A huge vortex-shaped depression appeared where a hill should have been.

From the cracks and crevices that were everywhere, extremely corrosive dark purple air would surge up from time to time, and the entire underground world was transformed into a world of purple and red mixed with earth fire and dark flames in a very short time.

Many people noticed that large chunks of rocks fell into the dark purple air and melted away in an instant. If a person fell into it, even with magic power and magic tools to protect the body, he would probably not be able to hold out for a few breaths.

This was when the group, led by Lu Cheng, fled in a hurry and did not see the scene outside. After the entire formation was activated, it was from the outside to the inside. At this moment, 90% of the formation's power was gathered at the outskirts of Huangquan Valley.

It was already a completely dark world.

The earth melted, and the purple flames surged and emptied like a tsunami. During this period of time, a large number of monks who had gathered in the Yellow Spring Valley to collect elixirs and try to seize the Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flower were all encircled, and no one could escape.

"Is it still not enough? Lao Chen, please go faster, we can't stand it anymore."

There were five monks, a big man in brocade robes, an old man, a scholar, a middle-aged woman and a young girl with a childish face.

At this time, the four cultivators except the old man put up a magic barrier to resist the purple flames of the dark energy that surged from time to time.

Even if the flames were only slightly larger, they still found it extremely difficult to resist. One of them would either turn pale or vomit blood.

What supported them at the moment was the talisman held in the hand of the old man surnamed Chen. Although the old man surnamed Chen was only a cultivator in the Refining Gang realm, he had a fifth-grade middle-quality talisman handed down from his ancestors in his hand. It had been passed down for generations and no one had been willing to use it. Therefore, when the old man surnamed Chen chanted a spell to urge it, his heart felt like a knife cutting his flesh.

Finally, the fifth-level talisman was activated. It was an extremely rare sword talisman, sharp and powerful with a strong attack. As the talisman was activated, it turned in the air and turned into a green flying sword, and then suddenly stabbed towards the void barrier in front of the five people.

However, the sword light that carried the hopes of everyone present pierced the seemingly empty membrane barrier, but in just a moment, the sword power was exhausted and it flew away with a clanging sound.

"How is this possible? This is a fifth-level spiritual talisman that has been passed down in my family for generations!"

The old man surnamed Chen roared in disbelief while holding the talisman. Unfortunately, his companions could no longer create another chance for him.

The huge tide of dark energy and purple flames came down like a tsunami. When the tide subsided, the five people had disappeared without a trace. Only a few remaining fragments of magic weapons were quickly burned into wisps of ashes and flew away.

This is the yin-yang array force barrier that is created when the evil array is activated and naturally conflicts with the yang energy of heaven and earth outside the Yellow Springs Valley.

Of course, this balance is short-lived. Once the balance is broken, the external vitality will come in and collide with the incredibly dense Nine Netherworld Qi, causing a huge explosion that will affect the lives of millions of people.

Not to mention the relatively nearby Qushui City will be affected, even Ranmu Mountain will be affected to some extent.

But the Lin family ancestor thought that there was no way out. As long as he could refine the golden elixir and break the curse of heaven's punishment that prevented the Lin family cultivators from refining the golden elixir, what would it matter if a million people died? What would it matter if the Burning Wood Mountain was hit by a few collisions?
It is just right to use the lives and blood of these people to clear the Lin family's relationship with this matter. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the colleagues in the Tongxuan Realm about the death of so many Jindan masters.

Lin Chong believed that the reason why the Lin family cultivators had been unable to refine the golden elixir for thousands of years was because the Lin family's ancestors established the Yinyue Dynasty and then lost the world.

If one accepts the country's filth, one becomes the master of the country; if one accepts the country's misfortune, one becomes the king of the world.

With the interference of the fortune of the collapsed dynasty, the cultivators of the Lin family will never be able to refine the golden elixir. The best they can do is to condense the lead-mercury elixir, which is already their limit.

If you want to escape this limitation, you have to go to another world.

Therefore, the ancestor of the Lin family used the Nine Netherworlds to open up a netherworld for himself, and used it to refine the golden elixir.

Not only was he isolated from the Heavenly Heart, but he had also created this netherworld, so it was reasonable that the fate should be in his favor. Moreover, the souls and mana of those dead monks and masters in the formation would also be transformed into rolling vitality and injected into his body. If he still couldn't refine a high-grade golden elixir under such circumstances, then he really deserved to die.

"In this world, some people sacrifice the Tao for themselves, and some people sacrifice themselves for the Tao. However, the Tao of Heaven is not Tao. Although we are ants peeping at the sky, what we ants are peeping at is the Tao."

In the deepest part of Huangquan Valley, from the giant tree that connected the sky to the earth, such words were heard. All the soul-transferring monks of the Lin family were listening to the ancestor's preaching.

Even the two masters were listening. The Lin family's ancestor had practiced for thousands of years, and what he said was definitely not meaningless, even for a master.

As the Nine Netherworld Devouring Array was activated, the entire Yellow Spring Valley was rapidly falling into death, and the same was true for the giant tree whose roots had already spread to every corner of the Yellow Spring Valley.

All vitality and life force are absorbed and transported through it, including the life of this giant tree itself.

Even within the Nine Netherworld Devouring Evil Array, it is impossible to kill all the masters, but killing most of them is enough.

Squeak, squeak, accompanied by such sounds, a huge milky white insect emerged from the giant tree, coiled around its body, and gradually turned into the shape of a dragon.

All creatures in this world, whether fish, insects, birds or beasts, seem to love to transform into dragons. Of course, cultivators are the same. Among ten people who have mastered the art of transforming into human form with sword energy, five or six of them transform into dragons and use their spirit to amplify their own sword power.

This is because the true dragons and phoenixes are inherently powerful true spirits, and dragons are relatively common among them, so they are easy to imitate. If you really can't do it, you can first learn the nature of snakes and gain some basics.

The pale giant worm, which had already taken the shape of a dragon, with scales and horns, slowly moved to a clear pool.

This clear pool grew on the trunk of a giant tree, with a pit dug out of it. It was filled with a medicinal liquid full of vitality, and seven gorgeous medicinal herbs were growing in it, slowly blooming:

The fifth-level spiritual medicine, Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flower.

"When we cultivators cultivate the Dao, we must first follow the Dao of Heaven, observe, understand and learn the various objective laws of operation, and benefit our own Dao. However, cultivators cultivate the Dao, follow the will of Heaven to be human, and go against the will of Heaven to become immortals. They want to transcend life and death and tamper with the laws of Heaven. Doesn't this in itself show that we cultivators are traitors to Heaven and Earth?

If we just obey blindly, how can we live for thousands of years? Shouldn't we have already obeyed the will of heaven and turned into dust? "

Creaking, accompanied by bursts of strange noises.

At the center of the eyebrows of the giant horned dragon-shaped insect, a very young, very handsome and very outstanding young man slowly grew out. When this man appeared, he was stared at by everyone, and immediately everyone felt that he had gathered all the spirits in the world and was truly flawless.

He appeared naked in the world, and clouds emerged and transformed into a Taoist robe, which was draped over the body of the forest insect.

Thousands of years ago, he created the soul-transferring Taoist method of Burning Wood Mountain, and he himself entered into a woodworm, practicing hard for thousands of years. Now, he has reversed life and death, transformed skin and flesh into blood and marrow, recreated his physical body, and returned to the world again.

Originally, this Taoist method of turning death into life and rebuilding the physical body was too difficult. Even if he practiced for a thousand years it would not be enough.

But if you cut off your retreat, it won't be difficult to stay in the world for a short time.

Now, with this perfect body of Yuantai Daoti, taking the Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flower to cleanse his own magic power and blood, and then integrating his magic power and life to cultivate both, to refine the golden elixir, it is like a trapped dragon ascending to the sky and breaking through the yin and yang. From now on, Lin Chong's potential for cultivation will be so strong that he will even become the number one in this world.

However, by practicing in this way, an evil spirit will naturally accumulate. Although every step is on the right track, there will inevitably be many disasters.

It’s just that the great elder of the Lin family is so powerful that after years of management, he almost accomplished such an earth-shaking thing.

"Thousands of years of hard work, today is the end."

With such emotion, the Taoist in white robe, who was as handsome as a fairy, bent down and sucked a Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flower into his stomach.

As the drug took effect and cleansed his magic power and blood, his whole body gradually floated in the air. Only then could one see that there was a flesh tube connecting his back to the giant horned dinosaur.

At this moment, the forest worm is absorbing the magic power accumulated for thousands of years, along with the medicinal power forged by the essence of the formation, into its own body.

His magical powers were constantly increasing, and his body was becoming more and more stable.

There are nine levels of innateness, twelve levels of Qi training, Earthly Evils, Heavenly Powers, and then, the first level of Dan formation.

This person's accumulated foundation in Taoism is so profound that if he is given an opportunity, he will truly soar to the sky and be unstoppable.

"Why do I feel that there is another realm above the first level? Never mind, this is enough. Don't be greedy and create unnecessary trouble."

As Lin Chong's mind changed rapidly, all 36,814 pores on his body closed, and he began to seal the furnace and cauldron to refine the elixir.

However, as this person's cultivation practice continued to improve, a huge amount of calamity energy that filled the sky and the earth also came into being.

Forty-nine tribulations, when the cultivators in this world condense the golden elixir and the dragon and the tiger meet, the tribulation evolves into a tribulation. In most cases, it is a thunder tribulation, but if the cultivators dare to hide and avoid it, then this thunder tribulation will also be transformed into various tribulations such as earth, water, fire, wind, human heart, demons, and emotions, which are often ten times more difficult to overcome than thunder tribulations.

At this moment, the sky was invisible above the forest worm, and the thunder tribulation turned into an earth tribulation. In front of it, the earth suddenly collapsed and turned into an endless tide of purple flames, covering it like a tsunami.

However, the Taoist Lin Chong formed a seal with his hands and pressed downwards, and the originally cracked earth quickly closed up. The endless purple flame tide was suddenly cut off from its foundation, and then was smashed to pieces by the Taoist's punch.

He has been practicing Taoism for a thousand years. Although he was trapped in the ninth level of Refining Gang for most of the time, the depth of his foundation is still unimaginable for ordinary practitioners.

The giant dragon-shaped insect connected to the meat strip behind the Taoist will be refined into his external incarnation after his elixir is completed. The ancient tree that has been parasitic on it for thousands of years will be refined into his life-long magic weapon. As long as the golden elixir is completed, this person will not be a weakling among the golden elixir masters.

Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu, who were standing by, saw all of this. They looked at each other and couldn't help but feel admiration in their hearts. They felt that if Taoist Lin Chong could really refine a top-grade golden elixir, it would not be a disgrace to them to become his disciples in the future.

This person's foundation is so strong that after thousands of years of accumulation, it is rare in ancient and modern times. With this foundation, it seems that it is not impossible for him to transform into a Nascent Soul in the future.

At the same time, on the other side, Mie Hongzi and her twelve disciples, as well as Situ Hua, Guo Lingbao, Madam Shi, and Shangguan Xue, avoided most of the Nine Netherworld's deadly ambushes because they followed Lu Cheng.

During the escape, everyone saw that even a Jindan Grandmaster could not hold out under this formation that could almost change the world. Just from what they saw, two Grandmasters were engulfed and killed by the continuous impact of the purple flames of dark energy that stretched from heaven to earth.

However, most of the time, they completely avoided the impact of the dark energy and purple flame tide.

"The Teng Snake is lurking in the dark, and the Tai Sui star is coming!"

Suddenly, Mie Hongzi sighed in Lu Cheng's ear.

Lu Cheng was slightly surprised and looked at his Third Uncle Mie Hongzi beside him, only to see her smile and say:

"I just have some doubts about what Qingxuan Zhenren said. How much of it refers to me and how much refers to you. Could it be that the Teng Snake is referring to me?"

"...Master, you are joking."

At this moment, Lu Cheng's entire mind was focused on deducing the formation diagram, and he was too exhausted to look around. Fortunately, Mie Hongzi only said this and didn't say anything more. He just glanced at his favorite little disciple Fang Shiman from time to time, and then looked at Lu Cheng, as if he had some concerns in his mind.

In the past, the previous generation was involved in grievances and it was difficult to tell right from wrong, but they were the losers. However, this may not be the case for this generation.
