Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 194: Great Sun Fire Gang and Great Sun Divine Gang (Late update, please subscribe!)

Originally, on someone else's territory, Lu Cheng planned to use nice words, pay some money and gifts to try to deal with the matter.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if a Jindan sect has deep enough foundation, it is entirely possible to defeat a Jindan Zhenjun. There are even records in ancient books of a Jindan sect successfully besieging and killing a Yuanying Zhenjun.

Of course, there must be many reasons why it was recorded like this: siege, formation, conspiracy, or even the opponent himself was seriously injured, which led to the final success.

The few cultivators on their side who are at the Lian Gang realm must lower their posture when facing the Jin Dan sect which has been established for a thousand years.

However, when Qi Zhixuan, the Palace Master of the Great Sun Palace, said: "If you can withstand fifty moves from us, I will send your senior sister away from the Great Sun Palace directly."

Lu Cheng could no longer bear it. The posture the opponent presented was too standard. If he didn't hit him with this palm, Lu Cheng felt that he would suddenly sit up in the middle of the night and feel uncomfortable.

But in Qi Zhixuan's view, this was contempt and provocation. He had been a child prodigy since childhood and had hardly encountered any major obstacles. How could Qi Zhixuan tolerate this?

Wu Lingjun had reached the ninth level of the Refining Gang realm, held the Hanlin Tourmaline in his hand, and had profound Taoist skills. On that day, he almost tied with Elder Dong on his own.

In the end, it took the combined efforts of several Jindan elders from the Great Sun Temple to gain the upper hand and capture the female Taoist alive.

The Sun Palace also had its concerns, and had taken good care of him these days without torturing or humiliating him. Without this kind of caution, it would be difficult for them to become a thousand-year-old sect.

In addition, Lu Cheng is very skilled in escape techniques, so Qi Zhixuan wants to see whether the level of these cultivators in the outside world is as high as this.

He was ambitious in his pursuit of the Tao and wanted to cultivate the legendary Great Sun Golden Infant. Now, knowing that there was still a world beyond the heavens, he naturally felt covetous and curious.

At this moment, he attacked angrily, and a jade ruler flew out from his sleeve. A fireball appeared behind him, with flames constantly gathering and erupting with it as the center, as if the sun had descended here.

At the same time, the acupoints all over Qi Zhixuan's body opened, and each acupoint seemed to hide a miniature sun, constantly spewing out terrifying magic power, and his body surface was already covered with a thin layer of red fire.

The leader of a sect has his own standards.

Qi Zhixuan and Lu Cheng, both of them instantly merged into the rainbow of light, rising high into the sky, facing each other.

"Pure Yang Ruler!"

The middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with silver hair let out a low shout, and the jade ruler beside him turned into a long ribbon of rainbow light that swept down.

Incomparably powerful magic power continued to gather at one end of the rainbow of light. When this method was completely completed, Lu Cheng had no doubt that a mushroom cloud would appear after this move missed and hit the ground.

"I can't dodge it. His jade ruler is obviously not a magic weapon for frontal attack. Ruler-type magic weapons must be used for measurement. If I dodge this move, his next move will probably follow and be ten times more terrifying."

Sword moves, blue dragon chasing the sun.

This sword was a killing move from the Jade Dragon Sword Technique. In the past, Xiao Yuhong had used this sword to defeat the Rising Sun of the East by Fu Chenghao of the Dongyang Orthodox Sect.

If Fu Chenghao hadn't carried a valuable treasure to save the puppet, he would have almost died from this sword.

Now Lu Cheng used the Five Elements Flying Sword, and his sword intent, sword moves and sword power were all more superb than those of Xiao Yuhong back then.

He used his powerful magic power to combine the five elements of flying swords into one, and slashed out a form of Earth-Winged Blue Dragon.

"Ouch..."

Along with the mighty roar of the dragon, the closer the ochre-yellow dragon got to the red "sun", the more solid and powerful it became.

Because fire helps earth.

Bang. Boom.

The blue dragon devoured the sun and exploded with a loud bang. A huge fluctuation of magic power spread in the sky.

The red sun and the blue dragon disintegrated at the same time.

However, the Chunyang Ruler was knocked back and failed to complete the Chunyang Divine Calculation to assist in completing the next sure-hit attack.

"How come his mana has increased so much? Did he hide his mana from the beginning? No, he is indeed a cultivator of the Refining Gang, and his physical body cannot be faked."

Qi Zhixuan's mind was racing. He had been trapped in this snowy world for a long time and had no idea that there were such things as external elixirs and magical instruments in this world.

Seeing Lu Cheng's magic power suddenly increase to the early stage of Jindan, he was of course shocked.

"Alright, since our powers are similar, let me take a real look at the abilities of the cultivators from outside the realm!"

The Chunyang ruler was temporarily broken and its spirituality was slightly damaged, making it inconvenient to use, so Qi Zhixuan took it back directly, and a jade book flew out of the Qiankun bag on his waist.

The jade book turned pages one by one automatically without wind. In an instant, thunder in the sky ignited fire on the earth. Along with Qi Zhixuan's magic formula, the sky was filled with thunder and fire spells, which covered the sky in a moment.

This jade book can amplify his Taoism, and Qi Zhixuan's Taoism can also enhance the power of the jade book, reducing the time to complete the spell and amplifying the power of the spell.

It can also be seen here that after one move, Qi Zhixuan has taken the opponent in front of him very seriously. A slash of sword light is a move, and a spell is also a move, but for most cultivators, the latter is much more powerful than the former.

All it takes to slash with the sword is a thought, but to complete a fifth-level spell, a lot of magic formulas are needed.

The magic of thunder and fire is extremely powerful.

A head-on attack leaves the least room for maneuver. After Lu Cheng succeeded in using the Blue Dragon Devouring Sun sword, he recovered his energy a moment faster than his opponent. However, this time he was patient and did not rush to attack. Instead, he chose to transform his sword light into a rainbow to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, forming a five-element sword formation to meet the powerful thunder and fire spells that appeared out of thin air above the sky.

However, the pressure of defense was much smaller than Lu Cheng had expected.

"Did the other party hold back intentionally? No, he was really angry. Then why are the power of these spells so much weaker?"

In fact, this was because Lu Cheng was temporarily stuck in a dead end in his thinking.

The reason for this is that Lu Cheng was practicing the Great Sun Divine Gang, while Qi Zhixuan was practicing the Great Sun Fire Gang.

A difference of one word makes a world of difference.

The nature of the Great Sun Divine Gang is too overbearing and fierce. Those who have practiced this method throughout the ages have all been extremely careful and cautious. However, once this method has been mastered, one will surely become the top cultivator in this world.

The Tai Ri Palace in the Snow Region inherited some of the classics left behind by the Tian Fo Sect and created new Taoism. The palace masters of all generations practiced the Great Sun Fire Gang.

Of course, it is impossible that all palace masters of all generations are the top cultivators in this world.

Instead, he used a secret method to reduce the power of the Great Sun Divine Power.

Lu Cheng practiced the Great Sun Fire Gang at Guanyuan Peak, the highest point in Guizang Mountain except for the Canglong Divine Mountain. But that was not enough, so he used a magic tool to fly to the highest point in Tiangang as far as he could go, and swallowed the purest and most violent fire essence.

Qi Zhixuan, who was in the middle stage of the Jindan realm, did not dare to fly high into the sky when he was practicing the Great Sun Fire Gang on the snowy mountains. Therefore, although there was a big difference in realm between the two, the quality of the fire gang they absorbed was not much different.

In Tongxuan Realm, there is no Golden Book of the Great Sun passed down by the Qi family. The Great Sun Fire Gang is the Great Sun Divine Gang, and there is no difference between the two.

However, the Great Sun Fire Gang cultivated with the Great Sun Golden Book is very different from the Great Sun Divine Gang.

This resulted in the fact that although Qi Zhixuan's thunder and fire spells were powerful and majestic, they were far from the level of power that Lu Cheng believed they should reach.

The Five Elements Sword Formation was absorbed and operated, and although it was barely able to block it, it was able to withstand it.

After receiving many of these moves, Lu Cheng gradually realized:

"Why does the technique he practices have a flavor of Buddhist techniques, but it is activated by Taoist techniques? The two are incompatible, and it is impossible to practice like this."

In fact, the main purpose of Buddhism's Vairocana Tathagata is not to control light and to shine light, but to let the light of wisdom illuminate everything and benefit everything, whether it is oneself or the outside world, to oneself and others, everything is clear and thorough; it also means the unique master in the Dharma Realm, like the sun in the sky.

The meaning is grand and profound, which is difficult for people to understand at once, so we have to use the sun as a metaphor first, and refer to the principles of the sun's phase to further understand the Zen meaning of the Sun Tathagata. If you can get the essence of it, the Sun Fire Gang cultivated by the Sun Golden Book will not be weaker than the Taoist Sun Divine Gang.

The Taoist Great Sun Divine Gang is all about learning from nature, and refers to the great sun in the sky. Qi Zhixuan practiced Buddhist techniques, but promoted them with Taoist mental methods. It would be weird if the power was not greatly reduced.

Taoism cultivates one's strong nature, while Buddhism cultivates one's compassion.

But this can't all be blamed on Qi Zhixuan. If it were in the outside cultivation world, everyone would naturally understand after fighting and communicating. But in this snowy world, the Sun Palace is the only one in power. The entire Sun Palace and the Qi family's successive generations of cultivators are all confused and trapped. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 powerful spells were cast.

Even with the blessing of a fifth-tier magic weapon, Qi Zhixuan himself was a little out of breath. However, the colorful circle of sword formations in blue, red, white, yellow, and black on the opposite side seemed to be on the verge of collapse and could not hold on. However, at the beginning, it seemed to be like this.

"Little thief, I don't believe I can't catch you!"

He slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and the handsome fire crow that had just been sent back turned into a rainbow and flew out. Not only it, but the spirit beast bag also soared into the sky, the bag body swelled, and fire crows flew out one by one.

They spread their wings, lifted their tails, raised their claws, pecked, and played, all dancing gracefully.

However, the tremendous firepower was gathered because of this:
Great Sun Temple, East Extreme Divine Fire Array.

When nine suns rise simultaneously, it is a catastrophe for heaven and earth, but in this snowy world, one sun is far from enough, so the Great Sun Palace raises fire crows and creates the East Pole Divine Fire Array. When winter comes, they artificially create an environment where two suns soar in the sky to protect mortals from the severe cold.

Relying solely on this formation, if the Great Sun Palace were to leave this snowy region, in the outside world of Tongxuan, it could be ranked among the top five of the sixteen evil sects in the world, and almost first-rate among the Xuanmen.

But according to the agreement between Qi Zhixuan and Lu Cheng, Qi Zhixuan is cheating a bit. Once the Dongji Divine Fire Formation is released, is it considered one move or a hundred moves?

"It is true that if you are not bald, you are not poisonous; if you are not poisonous, you are not bald! No wonder you are practicing Buddhist techniques. If you don't practice, who will?"

If facing other spirit beast formations, Lu Cheng could just summon the poisonous golden silkworm Gu to deal with them, but this Fire Crow Formation of the Great Sun Temple is probably the only spirit beast formation in the world that can restrain the poisonous golden silkworm Gu swarms.

Release the gold-type insect swarm to deal with the fire-type birds? Lu Cheng was definitely not that generous.

If he were really released, I'm afraid several generations of servants would turn against him.

The sword light turned into a rainbow and transformed into sword energy and thunder sound. Lu Cheng scattered the Five Elements Flying Swords and summoned the Vajra Sword to perform sword energy and thunder sound to prevent the Five Elements Flying Swords from being too badly damaged.

Today, Lu Cheng has gradually seen his future path clearly. He decided to use the current five fourth-grade top-grade five-element flying swords as a basis, refine the treasure mine, and refine his own natal flying sword, the Five Elements Sword.

This sword-refining method is very different from the Eight Views' secret book on refining the Five Elements Sword. Once it is refined, it will probably require the cultivator to provide more than five times the original amount of energy and mana.

However, if one can cultivate the Three Fires into One and reach the realm one wants to reach, even if the consumption of vitality and mana increases fivefold, it is not unaffordable.

Back then, Lu Cheng had considered traveling around the world to find high-quality materials for refining the Five Elements Sword, but now that was no longer necessary. Because Lu Cheng wasn't short of sword-making materials back then, he just wanted to travel around the world to find minerals to train himself.

He has been through a lot over the years and has gained enough experience. As for sword-making materials, he is not so short of them.

The golden sword flashed with light, and a huge red sun was chasing closely behind it.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding ice and snow melted away, and white mist filled the sky, with an indescribable magnificence.

"Hahahaha, young friend, you still don't admit defeat? If I use my full strength to activate this formation, even I will find it difficult to stop sometimes."

Although he was surprised at the extreme speed of the young Taoist's sword escape, Qi Zhixuan still laughed loudly towards the sky, fighting with these outsiders for so long.

The previous capture of the female cultivator was done by a team of several palace elders, which was not a very honorable act.

Now when fighting with this Taoist priest, he had used all his tricks in the beginning and was unable to hold out. It was not until he used the Dongji Divine Fire Formation, which was almost used by the Great Sun Temple to establish its sect, that he was able to turn the situation around. Of course, he had to show off his power.

There were large numbers of fire crows flying and circling around the crimson sun. If Lu Cheng was slightly entangled by them, he would be sucked into the sun.

By that time, even the weaker Jindan Zhenren would probably not be able to break free.

Therefore, this red sun not only flies extremely fast, but is also agile and extremely difficult to deal with.

If Lu Cheng hides among the icebergs around him, the red sun will get closer, and then countless fire crows wrapped in red flames will fly in and continue to fight with Lu Cheng. As long as the red sun is still there and continues to consume it, Lu Cheng will definitely be defeated due to exhaustion of mana. There is no other possibility.

"I don't have the power to cut the sun with one sword, but that doesn't mean I don't have a way."

Those who are good at fighting must be good at taking advantage of the situation and even making clever use of the natural environment around them.

Lu Cheng used the sword energy and thunder sound method to quickly shuttle between the icebergs, and the red sun was chasing closely from behind, changing and flashing with great agility under the control of a large group of fire crows.

However, at this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly appeared from the top of a huge ice peak on one side, and a huge red sun chased after him in an instant.

At the same time, Lu Cheng used the Star Shooting Ring and summoned a fourth-level dog demon:
Except for Lu Cheng, no one in the world has truly mastered the magic skill "The Art of Seizing the Sky and Transforming the Soul".

His innate magical power, "the sun and the moon in the belly", can swallow the sky and the earth.

The fourth-level dog demon had just devoured a master of the evil ways and was already extremely burdened. If it swallowed the sun again, it would surely die.

But Lu Cheng did not let it really swallow the red sun. Instead, he used it to amplify the power of his own Heaven-stealing Spirit Transformation Technique.

Under Lu Cheng's full effort, the fourth-grade top-grade Star-Shooting Ring merged into the chaotic light column of "The Sun and the Moon in the Belly". The two merged and almost turned into a purple-black chaotic hole with the power of fifth-grade Taoism.

The Dongji Divine Fire Array is extremely powerful, but it is difficult for Qi Zhixuan to control it alone. Although he was surprised at this moment, he retreated with all his strength.

Countless fire crows bit the fire chains and pulled the Red Sun to fly backwards, but before the force of the previous pounce had completely disappeared, the Red Sun was already covered by the chaotic light column and forcibly pulled down.

Lu Cheng certainly didn't want to swallow the red sun by force. Even if he practiced the Great Sun Divine Power, it wouldn't work. Quality is one aspect, and quantity is also another.

What he wanted was for the entire formation to be out of control. A chaotic and out-of-control formation would pose no threat no matter how powerful it was, especially to a cultivator with a deep foundation in Taoism like Lu Cheng.

Rumble.

The red sun fell on the huge ice peak, as if an ice sword pierced through the red sun.

Ice and fire merged into a loud explosion, and the rising white mist went straight through the sky, and then turned into heavy rain.

Just before the red sun fell, Lu Cheng combined his sword energy and thunder sound and plunged into the icy sea with his dog.

The Dongji Divine Fire Formation went out of control, and as its energy counterattacked, Qi Zhixuan, who was in the sky, swayed and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this, the female cultivator Shi Yan below became anxious and wanted to fly up to support her husband, but Qi Zhixuan stopped her with a look and waved his hand slightly.

At the same time, he gestured downward with his eyes.

Shi Yan turned her head and saw the young Taoist from outside the world, riding the sword light soaring into the sky, and floating in the billowing white smoke.

If I had stepped forward just now, the thief would have definitely seen that my husband was injured.

"Palace Master Qi, have you already passed the hundred moves? If not, I will continue to take it."

The terrifying magical attack just now did not seem to cause any harm to the young Taoist priest. This was almost impossible, but Shi Yan felt frightened when she thought of the various methods this man used.

"You have also practiced physical training? If you haven't, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, you will still suffer serious internal injuries in this situation. You have pure magic power, great swordsmanship, and physical training. If all the cultivators out there are like you, then what else can my Great Sun Palace produce?"

Jade bee jelly has the effect of removing heart fire and breaking up evil spirits.

And today, Lu Cheng's flying sword seems to have the same effect.

When Qi Zhixuan learned that there was a world beyond the snowy world, he had ambitions in his heart and wanted to compete with all the cultivators in the world.

But now, I feel a little bored.

It was the sword that turned into a rainbow and extinguished the fire in my heart, and my ambitions and domineering intentions were in vain.

"I will escort your senior sister out of the Sun Palace intact. As for what you want me to do, is it to escort you out of this world?
Originally I didn’t know how to leave this world, but now I think about it, I already know.”

Qi Zhixuan turned and walked away, and Shi Yan flew away and followed closely.

And Lu Cheng, who was behind the two of them, was also trying hard to calm his breathing and suppress the bloody smell in his lungs.

He also suffered some internal injuries, but they were suppressed by a few rounds of circulation of his vital energy under the connection with his natal blood and fire.
