Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 195: Holy Volcano, Seizing the Golden Book of the Sun (Subscribe!)
Although the battle between Lu Cheng and Qi Zhixuan was short, the sword fire in the air was so powerful that everyone, including Nangong Jing, Zhongli Ling, and several Jindan masters from the Great Sun Palace, sensed it and fled out and rushed over.

"Sect Master, what's going on?"

"Master, are those foreign cultivators showing up again?"

Qi Zhixuan and Shi Yan are of course surrounded and protected by many masters.

Seeing that Lu Cheng was alone and weak, Nangong Jing, who was hiding in the dark, was still a little hesitant, but Zhongli Ling had already flown out and stood with Lu Cheng. Seeing this, Nangong Jing sighed secretly, and finally flew out to stand with his fellow disciples.

Sensing the hostility in the eyes of the Great Sun Temple monks on the opposite side, Nangong Jing revealed a fierce aura, and Zhongli Ling was also full of awe.

A true disciple of the Lian Gang realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace may not be inferior or afraid when facing a second- or third-rate Jin Dan master in the Xuanmen.

Of course, Nangong Jing couldn't help but complain:
"Ninth Junior Brother, how could it have come to this?"

"It is indeed risky, but if it succeeds, we can leave here directly. If it fails, it will just be a big battle." Lu Cheng replied.

At this time, Qi Zhixuan, who was standing in the crowd, turned around. His silver hair and Taoist robe looked majestic under the shining sun.

There was a golden light flashing in his eyes.

But the next moment, Qi Zhixuan only felt that he saw blood everywhere, rushing towards him, and his ears, mouth and nose were almost filled with whistling fishy wind.

"This person has a continuous blood disaster all over his body, almost covering the sky and the earth. Such a person will never die here. Even if I can kill him, the price I pay is definitely not something I can afford. The Great Sun Palace, my junior sister, and even myself...

In this case, it is better to send this evil star away as soon as possible."

What Qi Zhixuan had just performed was the secret pupil technique from the Great Sun Golden Book. It was said that if one cultivated it to the highest level, one could see the past and the future. It was a very mysterious technique and was also the secret technique passed down orally by the direct descendants of the Qi family for generations.

He guided this family and the Sun Palace to avoid many disasters.

Of course, such a powerful spell is extremely difficult to cast. Not only is it difficult to practice, but it is also uncertain when it will take effect. If one's own luck has run out, the actual effect of this spell may not be as useful as more ordinary magic eye techniques.

"Everyone, listen to my command and escort the foreign guest out of the palace with courtesy."

"metropolitan"

The elder named Dong among the cultivators opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly he saw Qi Zhixuan's eyes suddenly open, as if containing the golden sun. His heart was shocked and he could not say anything.

He stopped talking, and naturally the other elders of the Temple would not cause trouble for themselves.

This is why Lu Cheng is somewhat confident. The Jindan cultivators of the Great Sun Palace dominate an area. They can be considered strong but have also lost their vigor and sharpness. Most of the time, the probability that they choose to stick to their interests is far greater than the probability of being aggressive and enterprising.

Among these people, of course, is Qi Zhixuan.

On that day, Lu Cheng, Nangong Jing and Zhongli Ling met with Wu Lingjun, Qi Fengping and a disciple of their third uncle named Guan Chunyan.

"Thank you all for your help this time. Wu Lingjun will definitely repay you in the future." The tall female priest said this sincerely.

"Alas, Second Senior Sister, that's not right. Moreover, it was Old Nine who risked his life to fight with the head of the Divine Palace, while Fourth Senior Brother and I did nothing."

"Thank you, Ninth Junior Brother." The nun bowed again to express her gratitude.

"No, we are from the same school."

At this moment, a young man in white who was sending back Wu Lingjun, Qi Fengping, and Guan Chunyan suddenly stepped on the sword light in the air and said:
"Senior Lu, our master is willing to trade some spiritual objects with you. Here is the jade slip list. If you are interested, please reply within three days. After three days, our master will personally send you off from this world."

In the Tongxuan Realm, only the leader of a sect or a Jindan Zhenren are worthy of being called the head sect Zhenren. However, in this world of ice and snow, the Great Sun Palace is the only dominant one. Naturally, no one else can interfere with what Qi Zhixuan wants to be called.

As he spoke, the young man in white threw down a jade slip.

Although Qi Zhixuan's ambitions were crushed by Lu Cheng, he also knew to seize the opportunity to exchange what he had:
The skills, spells, instruments, elixirs, spiritual objects, especially the jade bee syrup given by Lu Cheng before, which can remove heart fire and break evil spirits, aroused Qi Zhixuan's great interest.

The monks of the Great Sun Temple practice the Dharma based on Buddhism, but their personal behavior is closer to Taoism, and the sect's behavior is almost like that of an evil sect.

If one practices Buddhism in this way with confusion and perverse behavior, it will be very easy to go astray and become possessed.

Drinking jade bee jelly for a long time can greatly alleviate this problem, so Qi Zhixuan acted so determined before.

If Nangong Jing and Zhongli Ling had not appeared one after another, both showing an aura that was not easy to mess with, and if Qi Zhixuan had not used his pupil technique to see that Lu Cheng had a strong aura, he would probably have had some other thoughts at this time.

"Ice iron, snow soul beads, snow lotus, ice wolf puppet... Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, please take a look to see if there is anything you need. They accept and exchange almost everything."

Nangong Jing and Wu Lingjun also knew that this was also a kind of adventure. If they traded some exotic objects from outside the domain, they could make some money as long as they had a good vision.

Everyone passed it around and looked at it. Even Qi Fengping and Guan Chunyan, who had the least wealth, were wondering what kind of spiritual objects they had that could be exchanged.

"It's a pity that this place is far away in the overseas cultivation world. If it were in my Western Region, I don't know how much profit I could make for my sect if I controlled this trade route."

Finally, Nangong Jing said this with emotion.

Three days later, inside an ancient volcano.

"Thousands of years ago, the head of my Qi family had an ancestral precept to seal this place forever and reinforce it from generation to generation. However, as time went by, later generations gradually neglected this ancestral precept. Until a few days ago, I think I finally know why."

Qi Zhixuan, Shi Yan and his wife, as well as four Jindan elders from the Great Sun Temple were by their side.

On Lu Cheng's side, there were four people including himself, Wu Lingjun, Nangong Jing, Zhongli Ling, as well as two female cultivators, Qi Fengping and Guan Chunyan.

It can be said that he is inferior to Qi Zhixuan in all aspects of magical power, but fortunately Qi Zhixuan does not seem to have any intention of fighting at this time.

He just stared at the surging magma pool in the belly of the mountain in front of him, and in the middle of the magma pool, there was a golden-red crack.

The stone cave where everyone was at the moment was originally covered with talismans, but as Qi Zhixuan said, as time went by, later generations became more and more negligent and slack in dealing with this matter, so that most of the power of the formation to seal and conceal had been lost.

"If you are willing to stay and serve me, I will betroth the daughter of the Qi family to you, and let you sit on the position of the headmaster in the future. I dare not say more, but I am 80% sure that you will become a master of alchemy. As for more, you have to fight for it yourself. If you can fulfill the ideals of the Great Sun Palace for generations and cultivate the Great Sun Golden Infant, I will also be happy to see it happen."

Suddenly, these words rang in Lu Cheng's ears or in his heart.

He glanced over and saw Qi Zhixuan staring at him:

The eldest daughter of the Qi family, she holds the position of headmaster, receives resource support, and even comprehends the highest Taoism of the Great Sun Palace.

All these things are indeed extremely tempting.

During these three days, the two sides have exchanged countless resources. Lu Cheng even left behind some of his fourth-order auspicious jade bees in exchange for the cultivation resources of the Tai Ri Palace. It can be seen that this snowy area is not a barren place. If they can stay here and call themselves the ancestor, I am afraid that except for Wu Lingjun, most of the true disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace who came here would hesitate and consider it.

"..."

Lu Cheng remained silent, as if hesitating. He watched his second senior sister Wu Lingjun, fourth senior brother Nangong Jing, and sixth senior brother Zhongli Ling fly into the golden-red space crack one by one.

Then he suddenly sent a message to Qi Zhixuan:
"Master Qi, instead of leaving the opportunity to achieve the highest level of Taoism to others, why not give it a try yourself? Look at what this is."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng waved his sleeves and another jade cup flew out and landed in Qi Zhixuan's hand.

"Jade Bee Jelly?" Compared with the fourth-level jade bee jelly that is full of spiritual energy, the jade bee jelly in the jade cup in his hand is translucent and looks like platinum.

Qi Zhixuan sniffed it briefly, and his expression changed drastically after a moment:

"Fifth-level Jade Bee Jelly! Do you have a secret method to cultivate the auspicious jade bee to advance to a higher level?"

At this time, Qi Fengping and Guan Chunyan had already entered the space rift at Lu Cheng's signal, and had already disappeared without a trace.

"Master Qi, I have a batch of fifth-grade jade bee syrup in my hand. It is enough for you to suppress your inner demons and break through the bottleneck in the future. I wonder if you are willing to lend me the Great Sun Golden Book to take a look?"

The "Golden Book of the Sun" is the most precious treasure of the Sun Palace, and in principle it must not be passed on to outsiders. But Lu Cheng had grasped Qi Zhixuan's weak spot at this moment, and the Qi Sect Master's breathing became hot and rapid for a moment.

Before reading this kind of inherited Dharma, one must make a vow to resolve one's inner demons. However, when one cultivates to Qi Zhixuan's level, the backlash of the vow to resolve one's inner demons is not completely unsolvable.

"...How much fifth-grade jade bee jelly do you have?"

"Enough for real people to take for four months."

"..."

"If the Master agrees, please give the Golden Book to your wife and bring it to me for me to read. Of course, if the Master of the Great Sun Golden Book does not have it with him, then I will just pretend that I never said anything about it."

At this moment, Lu Cheng was already standing in front of the space rift. Of course, given the difference in their magical powers, even Lu Cheng did not dare to let Qi Zhixuan bring the golden book close to him for him to study. He was not afraid of the sword fight, but when he was fully committed to memorizing the contents of the golden book, such a close distance was too dangerous.

"it is good."

It was decided in one word, and it was obvious that Qi Zhixuan had made up his mind.

"Four elders, please take shelter for the time being."

With a wave of his sleeves, Qi Zhixuan asked the four elders behind him to leave first.

"Ah? Sect Master... yes."

Seeing Qi Zhixuan's determined expression, the four Jindan masters of the Great Sun Palace finally retreated in confusion.

The Great Sun Golden Book is the most precious treasure inherited by the Divine Palace. It is hard to guess how the four Divine Palace elders will react when they see this item and then see Qi Zhixuan handing it over to someone else.

Qi Zhixuan placed a thick white silk and gold thread book in the hands of his Taoist companion Shi Yan. Even for Shi Yan, it was the first time she had come into contact with this book. Then, he came close to Lu Cheng.

"Every time Madam turns a page, I will give Madam a bottle of honey."

The masters of the Great Sun Temple have all practiced the Great Sun Qi throughout the ages, not to mention that this set of exercises contains content that directly targets the Nascent Soul.

Ever since Lu Cheng knew about it, he has been thinking about it in his mind. Even if it means risking his life, he wants to comprehend it and read it.

Of course, with such Taoist magic, in the Tongxuan Realm, not to mention risking one's life, even the death of a hundred thousand cultivators is a common occurrence.

Page one, page two, page three...

As the pages of the Great Sun Golden Book were unfolded and turned, the scriptures and scrolls on it were indeed mysterious and profound.

At this moment, Lu Cheng didn't want to understand it very well, he just wanted to memorize it.

Fortunately, he is now a cultivator at the Lian Gang realm, and his memory ability has been greatly improved. Otherwise, it would be simply a fantasy to memorize such a thick book in a very short time.

I'm afraid only the world shorthand champion in the previous life has some hope. After a hundred years of Taoist practice in this world, Lu Cheng's spiritual consciousness and mental power have reached or even exceeded the level of the world shorthand champion in the previous life.

Turning the pages one by one, he finally reached the stage of fetal transformation into Nascent Soul, and Lu Cheng's mind inevitably sank into it.

He didn't know how much time had passed in a trance, but suddenly his whole body tensed up, and he seemed to hear faintly in his ears: "Do it!"

But in fact this is impossible. It is just Lu Cheng's instinctive reaction to the coming crisis.

Qi Zhixuan must have transmitted his thoughts to Shi Yan, but Shi Yan's concealment of her murderous intent was definitely not perfect. This was natural. She was the headmaster's wife and not a master assassin. Moreover, even if she was a master assassin, she would not be able to hide her murderous intent successfully in front of Lu Cheng, who had a clear swordsmanship.

The magical power around Shi Yan burst out, and a bone-chilling blue magical power spread out from her body.

At the same time, Qi Zhixuan had been accumulating strength for a long time and attacked with all his strength. The Pure Yang Ruler was swung down with tremendous magic power. This time, even if the jade ruler was shattered, he had to keep this man alive.

However, Qi Zhixuan and Shi Yan could never have imagined in their dreams that an extremely sharp blood-red sword light suddenly burst out from the body of the Taoist in front of them.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are unkind first, please don't blame me for being unjust. I will accept this Great Sun Golden Book."

Lu Cheng, who has always been known for his swordsmanship and adaptability, now has a terrifying golden-red magical light spreading around him.

With this explosion of magic power, coupled with his strong body that was also a cultivation body, his entire body almost turned into a sword ball, rushing towards Shi Yan.

The magic power of ice is most effective in freezing things, but Shi Yan is only at the initial stage of Jindan. Facing Lu Cheng, who has unleashed the golden dragon's external elixir and his own blood and fire power, she is far inferior in terms of swordsmanship and the purity of her magic power. She cannot resist him even with her life.

With a bang, Lu Cheng swung his sword to break through the magic power and got close to him.

With one sword, he cut off the man's left arm holding the Great Sun Golden Book. The next moment, Lu Cheng used his quick sword skills to flash behind Shi Yan, using her as a shield to block the edge of the Pure Yang Ruler.

After all, Qi Zhixuan's path had been too smooth, and he had seldom had the opportunity to experience a life-and-death battle. At this moment, looking at his Taoist companion who had been with him for hundreds of years, the Chunyang Ruler paused slightly.

Lu Cheng did not kill anyone either. He used a palm to push Shi Yan in his arms towards Qi Zhixuan, and then her body crashed into the space crack behind her.

"You haven't even cultivated a high-grade golden elixir yet, and you want to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Infant? You don't even know how you died. Today, I grant you a defeat, and let you know that you are not worthy of cultivating the Nascent Soul in this life. This is your blessing."

Actually, this defeat could not be blamed on Qi Zhixuan. His innate blood fire burned his blood and marrow, overdrawing the lifespan of the cultivator in exchange for magic power. This kind of Taoist magical power was something Qi Zhixuan had never seen or heard of in his life. Even in the entire Tongxuan world, there were probably few people who had seen or even heard of it.

It's not that there are people in the Demon Sect who want to practice this kind of martial arts, but without a full understanding of the way of blood essence and strict practice, burning one point of life will not exchange for ten points of magic power, or even one point, let alone self-testing like Lu Cheng and exploring the way of life and death Tai Chi.

"Yan'er, Yan'er!?"

Qi Zhixuan held Shi Yan, whose arm was broken, and called out to her repeatedly. After a long while, he finally woke up the Taoist priestess.

"Brother Qi, I..."

"Don't say it, it's my fault that you, Yan'er, have suffered so much. The cultivators from outside the domain are indeed fierce and unpredictable. No wonder our ancestors would set up such ancestral precepts."

At this time, the four Jindan Grandmasters of the Great Sun Temple had also sensed the fluctuations of mana in the belly of the mountain and fled in, but they did not know what to do for the moment.

"From today on, we will re-strengthen the seal of this place and make this the first law of the Great Sun Palace, which will never change."

Qi Zhixuan picked up Shi Yan and turned to leave, but the Taoist's last thoughts were still echoing in his ears.

"The way to the best golden elixir? Yes, there seems to be records of this in the ancient books, but my Great Sun Palace has dominated the Snowy World for too long, and fewer and fewer people are willing to roll around in those piles of old papers. Compared to the illusory Great Sun Golden Infant, it seems that this is what I should consider pursuing more.

If I can achieve something, it can also make up for my mistake of losing the Great Sun Golden Book today."
