Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 197 Four Taoist Books, the Gate of Platinum

Stone spirit world, space rift.

The battle between the old dragon Ao Daoyuan and those violent stone spirit monkeys is still going on.

Everyone was rehearsing the Inverted Five Elements Formation in a distant cave. This was a common but sophisticated formation that required seven masters who were familiar with each other to set up the formation. They would be able to locate the center of the formation and coordinate their magic formulas to circulate their magic power, which would greatly increase the power of the attack. At the same time, the formation could also enhance the responsiveness of the magic power. Whichever side was attacked could transfer part of the other people's magic power to that side in a very short time, thus instantly greatly improving the defensive capabilities in disguise.

At the same time, there is the power of the five chaotic elements. As long as the formation is not broken, this power of the five chaotic elements will continue and become stronger and stronger.

Wu Lingjun had the highest magical power among everyone present and was also the most trusted, so she stood at the center of the Yin array in the "inverted" five elements, and Lu Cheng stood at the center of the Yang array.

Although he is of a later generation, his magical powers have been witnessed by everyone over the years. Nangong Jing, Niu Meng, and Zhongli Ling also want to have a good relationship with him so as to obtain more and better supplies of jade bee nectar.

This kind of spiritual object is of great benefit to the practice of magic skills.

Wu Lingjun stood at the center of the Yin array, Lu Cheng stood at the center of the Yang array, Zhongli Ling, Nangong Jing, Wen Tingjian, Qi Fengping, and Niu Meng stood at the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth according to their own skills and personality traits.

When the inverted five elements formation is fully operational, the Yin and Yang positions can move around, but can also be supplemented by the Five Elements positions at any time. The Five Elements positions must strictly follow the formation. Once a mistake is made and the Yin and Yang positions are not supplemented in time, the formation will collapse immediately.

If one is not careful, the magic power may even backfire on everyone.

Inside the cave, sword lights and magical auras were moving around and appearing and disappearing, and they were constantly rotating around Zhongli Ling, Nangong Jing, Wen Tingjian, Qi Fengping, and Niu Meng.

Guan Chunyan, Wen Qingqing and other female practitioners gradually felt dizzy and dazed by what they saw. After staring for too long, they even felt exhausted, panicky and nauseous.

At the same time, the power of the five elements of chaos was also constantly overflowing, causing rocks to collapse, mud and sand to disintegrate, and break into powder and dust.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. Second Brother, Fifth Brother, you two should take care of Feng Ping's rhythm. She doesn't have enough mana, and sometimes she may not be able to keep up with your changes."

Qi Fengping stands in the fire position, Nangong Jing stands in the wood position, and Niu Meng stands in the earth position. One uses wood to generate fire, and the other uses fire to transform earth. They are both important connecting nodes.

Among the seven people, Qi Fengping has the weakest magical power. Fortunately, with the help of Nangong Jing and Niu Meng, they can try their best to minimize the flaws.

"I understand, senior sister."

"I understand, Senior Sister Wu."

Nangong Jing and Niu Meng responded in agreement. As the second senior sister, Wu Lingjun had authority and prestige. Ever since the eldest senior brother Yuwen Zheng left the mountain, she had been shouldering the actual responsibilities of the eldest senior sister, and also had to assist the master and the mistress in managing the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.

Several true disciples including Lu Cheng, as well as the younger ones in the palace were all convinced of her.

The inverted five elements formation does not affect the magic weapons controlled by the seven people in the formation. If used skillfully, it will only increase the attack and defense and the power of the formation.

This more common formation may not be effective against other human Jindan Zhenren, but it is a dragon overseas.

Having suffered severe injuries and exhausted his energy, Lu Cheng and others were bullying the old dragon because he could no longer concentrate.

Inside the cave, Lu Cheng found a corner, sat down on the ground, and meditated to calm his mind.

Unnoticed by others, his consciousness had already penetrated into the Jiuli Cauldron, where he raised insects, read books, and comprehended Taoism.

The world of insects.

A red energy flew down and entered a stone cave.

The Yuan consciousness condensed and became Lu Cheng's slightly transparent figure.

In this world with only spirit insects but no intelligent creatures, deep in the stone cave, there is a quiet room that Lu Cheng intentionally sent the golden silkworm Gu to dig out. In all directions of this quiet room, on the walls and ceilings, there are densely written words and a large number of graphics:

The fragments of the Blood Nerve Sutra, the general outline of the transformation of the true spirit of the Northern Sect of the Demon Sect, the Dou Mu Yi Qi Jue of the Star God Temple, and the recently obtained Great Sun Golden Book.

During these days, Lu Cheng, in the state of Yuanshi Yin body, engraved these texts and graphics in this stone chamber, studying them from time to time and pondering them word by word.

In this world, the highest level of cultivator is just the Golden Core True Person.

Of course, that was already a very high realm of cultivation. There were some Jindan Zhenren who stood at the top. Lu Cheng believed that even if he risked his entire life now, he would not be able to pose a real threat to them.

However, as long as one is a cultivator who is determined to pursue the path of Taoism, there is no one who does not want to break through the shackles of this world, transform from the fetus into a primordial infant and truly embark on the path of immortality, live for a thousand years, be nearly immortal, and obtain the great freedom!
That was why Lu Cheng collected these martial arts books, hoping that by reading the books thousands of times, his meaning would become clear and he could improve his own cultivation.

However, the contents of these four scriptures are diametrically opposed and conflicting in many places.

"If I continue to meditate like this for a long time, I won't become schizophrenic, right?"

Walking back and forth in the stone chamber of the cave in the state of Yuanshi Yin body, Lu Cheng looked up from time to time to read the scriptures.

After years of practice, Lu Cheng's blood nerves have already been vaguely integrated with the general principles of the changes of the Xuanmen True Spirit.

It is said that the Blood Nerve is a Taoist classic, but when practiced it is a scripture of magic. The General Principles of the Transformations of the Xuanmen True Spirit are a fusion of the magic way, so it is natural that the two would be vaguely compatible with each other.

The Xingshenguan Dou Mu Yi Qi Jue is the purest method of ancient Qigong practitioners and can be regarded as a branch of the original Taoism.

There are many Buddhist theories in the Great Sun Golden Book, but the part on qigong also incorporates a lot of Taoist qigong techniques, so it can be considered a combination of Buddhism and Taoism.

But looking at the behavior of the descendants of the Qi family, it is obvious that the more they practice, the more deviation they become.

In this world, if Lu Cheng did not set up any restrictions, golden silkworm Gu with hundreds of poisons would fly in from time to time, but if Lu Cheng set up any restrictions, a large number of golden silkworm Gu would accumulate and guard outside the restrictions, forming a "golden gate".

Lu Cheng didn't care much about these poisonous insects seeing these Taoist scriptures. The intelligence of spiritual insects was originally low, and the golden silkworm Gu was the most ferocious among them.

According to ancient books, some spiritual insects can awaken their wisdom after cultivating to the sixth level, but there has been no news of the golden silkworm Gu giving birth to obvious intelligence from ancient times to the present.

Or, in the mortal world, they simply cannot open their spiritual wisdom. It is normal for such vicious insects and evil creatures to be feared by heaven and earth.

Lu Cheng actually hopes that they will read these Taoist scriptures from time to time and develop more spirituality.

After a few hours, Lu Cheng felt that the time here was about enough, so he walked out of the stone chamber, but when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw a platinum door.

On the other side of the door, unlike the dark night on this side, there is blue sky and white clouds, and the deserted island in the vast sea is shaded by green trees.

"Squeak..."

The hundred poisonous golden silkworms following Lu Cheng were all screaming. After years of getting along with them, Lu Cheng already knew what they wanted to express:
"Danger. Fear."

"You are the only one in my collection who can make a spiritual insect like the golden silkworm feel fear."

Lu Cheng ignored the poisonous golden silkworm Gu that were guarding him, and walked into the platinum gate step by step.

In an instant, the Golden Gate closed.

The insect world returned to its former tranquility, but the golden silkworms kept chirping in panic, until they gradually forgot why they were panicking, and then they flew away in all directions.
