Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 198 Golden Winged Peng Eagle

The mythical beasts and beliefs of one civilization may very likely be ferocious beasts and evil demons in the system of another civilization.

For example, the Yanhan civilization where Lu Cheng lived in his previous life believed in dragons, believing that they were auspicious and had the power to make clouds and rain. Even their emperor called himself the True Dragon Son of Heaven.

Because rainfall is the lifeblood of an agricultural civilization.

In the Bai area of ​​Yunnan, where rainfall is relatively abundant, the ancient people of Dali believed that frequent floods were caused by dragons, turning Dali into a dragon swamp. However, dragons only respected pagodas and feared the Dapeng bird, so they built the famous Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, each with a golden-winged Dapeng bird cast on the top.

It is very interesting that no matter whether it is a dragon or a Garuda, they tend to be relatively restrained in areas where they believe in their own religion, and are even willing to do things that are in line with their status as gods. However, in areas where they do not believe in their own religion, they indulge their nature and show their animal side.

According to the classics of the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts, this is a kind of domestication of innate true spirits by mortals. Although the chance of success is not high, as long as the mortals are not exterminated and this domestication continues, the vast majority of innate true spirits will eventually achieve this strange symbiotic relationship with humans.

The sky is clear and the sun is bright, and the sea is blue.

After Lu Cheng came to this world, he saw a huge divine bird, which seemed to be made of the finest gold, swooping down from the sky.

There seemed to be something in the deep sea. It struggled and roared, and blood spread everywhere, but it was finally picked up by the golden-winged Peng bird:
The long body, covered with gorgeous and strong scales, was a dragon, but at this moment, its gallbladder had been taken out and it was on the verge of death.

The golden-winged Roc flew back to the vicinity of Lu Chengyuanshi's Yin body, landed on a huge reef, tore the dragon apart, and devoured its flesh and blood.

According to legend, the Golden Winged Peng feeds on dragons and is one of the very few spirits in the world that has the innate ability to restrain dragons.

Of course, the dragon clan has a complex bloodline, and even the Golden-winged Roc has not been able to truly restrain the most powerful of them.

A strong nation will inevitably have a vast territory and a large population. The same is true for true spirits. Dragons are almost the most numerous and have the most widespread bloodlines among most true spirits. Their strength is of course top-notch, while the number of golden-winged rocs is far less.

"I once flew eastwards in this world for nine days and nine nights. I can be sure that I have not fallen into an illusion. Everything in this world is real. But this is almost unbelievable. With your shallow cultivation, how can you control such an incredible spiritual treasure?"

After swallowing dragon blood and dragon flesh beside Lu Cheng and gradually becoming satisfied, the golden-winged Roc looked over at him with a sharper look than a sword.

"Human beings are the masters of the universe. The Supreme Master once established a great doctrine, saying: Humanity should flourish. In terms of destiny, it will naturally become stronger."

"Hahahahahaha, I have devoured no less than 100,000 humans, and even the Yuanying Zhenjun has devoured more than a dozen. How come I didn't realize that humans are the masters of the heaven, earth and universe? You are just a small Taoist priest, sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Although I have never been to the upper realm, I know that your human race is not a big race. What you mean by humanity is ridiculous."

The words of the golden-winged Roc did not change Lu Cheng's expression at all.

"The sky is vast, so he is the Golden Winged King. How many worlds has he been to? I am a human, so I think humans are the masters of the universe. The King is a demon, so he thinks demons are the masters of the universe. That's all."

In Buddhism, the golden-winged Peng bird is called Ming Wang. There is no such record in Taoism, so Lu Cheng borrowed the name Ming Wang to show respect.

The other party would not bring me here for no reason.

"...You have the scent of that fellow Guiche. You also have the scent of old monk Zong Zhen. You must have arrived at the southeastern sea area of ​​​​Chiyang Realm and entered the Tianfo Secret Realm, right?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Lu Cheng to reply.

The golden-winged Peng bird continued:
“This world has been nurtured for tens of thousands of years, and it has undergone countless cycles of rise and fall, but only a few of you human cultivators can truly cultivate the Nascent Soul stage.

Back then, Old Monk Zongzhen founded the Tianfo Secret Realm and created the Golden Boat for Deliverance, if he had not been too greedy and wanted to take away the Buddhist believers of that time, I'm afraid we would not have been able to react in time, hahahahahahaha... He was too greedy, so that we discovered this world, and all the living beings in the Tianfo Secret Realm were destroyed.

Master Zongzhen went crazy at that time, but so what? His magic power was not strong enough, so it was useless even if he burned his golden body. "

"Do you demon gods have a habit of destroying the world?"

Lu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and he asked casually.

“Hahahahaha, after spreading the Taoist tradition countless times and establishing reincarnation, it is inevitable that we will encounter smart people a few times, so we made an agreement for the Thousand Years Blood Banquet. Every thousand years, we will join forces to destroy the world once to prevent the Taoist tradition of the Chiyang Realm from developing to the point where it can threaten us.

Looking at your cultivation of Taoism, I know that your master has probably cultivated to a level close to that of Zong Zhen back then, but it's useless. You'll die anyway. If I were you, after leaving the Heavenly Buddha Secret Realm, I'd find a place to enjoy the rest of my life, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and when the Thousand Autumn Blood Feast comes, I'll find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and maybe I'll have a chance to survive."

"How long will it take until the next great catastrophe?"

Suddenly, the huge golden roc stopped talking and stared at Lu Cheng.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Fellow Daoist, you were harmed by the demons and gods. Don't you want revenge?"

"Just you? Even if you practice for ten lifetimes, you won't be able to help me get revenge."

Even if Lu Cheng practiced for another ten lifetimes, he would only have accumulated more than a thousand years of Taoism. Compared with the extraterrestrial demons and gods known to the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, this was simply ridiculous.

Lu Cheng didn't say anything like "Don't bully the poor youngsters". He didn't have this habit. Seeing this, he turned around and was about to leave this world.

"Wait. If you want revenge, I have a chance now...Back then, we joined forces to cleanse the Tianfo Secret Realm. Guiche saved Zongzhen at a great cost. This guy loves to play with people's hearts. He gave Zongzhen a thousand years to let him pass away all the resentful souls who died here. If possible, he will let his soul reincarnate and leave. If not, Zongzhen will let Guiche eat his soul.

There is no hope for you to fight against Shengyang and the others, but now there is a chance, maybe you can harm the ghost car once. "

As he spoke, the golden-winged Roc flapped its wings and soared into the sky. As this handsome and innate spirit flew, a golden feather suddenly shot towards Lu Cheng, but he reacted in time and blocked it with his left arm. Suddenly, a golden-red blood line appeared on his left arm.

"There is a trace of my magic power on it. Perhaps it can destroy the ghost car's thousand-year plan and make it feel heartbroken."

……

In the stone spirit world, inside the cave.

"Senior Brother Lu? Senior Brother Lu?!"

They started practicing the formation once again. Guan Chunyan and Wen Qingqing came to call Brother Lu Cheng who was still meditating, but found that they couldn't wake him up at all.

"Sister Guan, what should we do?"

"Maybe Senior Brother was too tired from practicing the formation before. I, I will go talk to Second Senior Sister now."

"No need for that. I was just thinking about a problem and was absorbed in it. I'm sorry to trouble you two junior sisters." Just as Guan Chunyan was about to go find Wu Lingjun, Lu Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, then waved his sleeves and stood up.

He subconsciously moved his left arm, then smiled and said.

"It's good that Senior Brother wakes up."

In the next few days, Lu Cheng continued to practice the Inverted Five Elements Formation with his fellow sisters and brothers.

During these few days, Ao Daoyuan, the ancestor of Hualongyuan overseas, was gradually losing strength and magic power in the battle with the violent stone spirits in the stone spirit world.

I don't know what kind of forbidden method is so powerful that makes him fight to the death. Even if he cultivates both the Dharma and the body, and his cultivation is profound and powerful, he will never be able to win the final victory under the endless consumption of the entire Stone Spirit World. One day, the blind old dragon, sitting on the hill below piled with the corpses of the Stone Spirit Monkeys, suddenly turned sideways to listen.

Wu Lingjun, Lu Cheng, Zhongli Ling, Nangong Jing, Wen Tingjian, Qi Fengping and Niu Meng flew over from seven directions.

However, their magical powers were vaguely connected to each other, forming a formation that trapped Ao Daoyuan in the center.

"You despicable human cultivator, I can drink the blood of cultivators in this last battle of my life. God has been kind to me.

Roar! "

Along with this roar, the old dragon, which was originally in human form, suddenly turned into a golden dragon with cracks all over its body and white bones visible.

Circling and flying, it brought great pressure to everyone just from the beginning.

A trapped beast will still fight, and is most ferocious.

Wu Lingjun sacrificed her own magical weapon, the Hanlin Bixi, and Lu Cheng sacrificed the Vajra Sword.

Zhongli Ling controlled a pair of swords and magic weapons, while Nangong Jing opened the Qiankun bag on his waist and summoned a group of alien insects. They had hideous looks, like giant bees, and were almost the size of a baby's fist.

Wen Tingjian and Qi Fengping both used their own flying swords to resist, while Niu Meng used a giant shield with sharp horns.

With the flying and circling body of the golden dragon as the center, condensed and domineering magic power spreads out, reversing the Five Elements formation. The magic power can be circulated quickly through the coordination of magic formulas. If any party is attacked, part of the magic power of others will be transmitted to that party in a very short time, thus greatly improving the defense capability in an instant.

Therefore, it is useless to attack one point, and Ao Daoyuan's response at this moment is the way to break the problem.

Rumble.

The seven people each cast their spells and summoned their magic weapons to block Ao Daoyuan's first wave of magic power, but as the golden dragon danced, the second wave of magic power also surged in like a tide.

In just this moment, Qi Fengping's face had turned pale, and Wen Tingjian's expression was not good either. The two of them were the weakest two links among the seven.

If I continue to confront the magic power like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand more than a few rounds.

But at this moment, Lu Cheng, who was in the Yang position, flew out with his sword.

The Vajra Sword drew several trajectories in the air that seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. It used the sword light turning into rainbow method to greatly absorb the vitality of heaven and earth around it, and slashed down.

Even if he used the sword light turning into rainbow method to increase the power of the flying sword, Lu Cheng's sword light was still not as powerful as the opponent's.

Because one of them has the magical power of the Jindan realm possessed by an external alchemy instrument, and the other is a Jindan dragon, with a bit of Jindan energy, and is extremely strong and tough.

But Ao Daoyuan had already been fighting in the Stone Spirit World for nearly seven days, and his magic power was spreading, making him one against seven.

The Vajra Flying Sword made a clanging sound and cut off the torrent of magic power. The flying sword went straight to cover several meridian nodes on Ao Daoyuan's body.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Ao Daoyuan shrank his body and quickly transformed from a dragon into a human form. At the same time, he stretched out a finger and hit the side of Lu Cheng's Vajra Flying Sword.

Lu Cheng turned the sword in time, allowing the side of the sword to collide with Ao Daoyuan's finger tip.

Clang, the flying sword suddenly flew out. For a moment, it was almost out of control.

This old dragon is a true practitioner of both magic and body. He has a strong body and powerful magic. If it was just a fight between Lu Cheng and the old dragon, he would have been wide open with just this one sword. Of course, if it was a fight between two of them, Lu Cheng would have definitely left the remaining power of his flying sword.

Ao Daoyuan stretched out his claws and grabbed Lu Cheng in the air.

In the void, there seemed to be five sharp golden rays flashing.

But at this moment, a water unicorn suddenly pounced out, and a ball of dark blue water light carried Lu Cheng's body through the air, avoiding the power of the dragon's claws.

"Set up the Five Elements Formation!"

Following the order from Second Senior Sister Wu Lingjun, Zhongli Ling, Nangong Jing, Wen Tingjian, Qi Fengping, and Niu Meng seized the opportunity to surround Ao Daoyuan.

Each spellcasting technique moves around with it as the center.

As time went by, Ao Daoyuan only felt that the figures of the human cultivators around him gradually became blurred, and he could no longer sense who was who.

At the same time, a chaotic force of the five elements was constantly eroding the old dragon within the formation. This was the core power of the inverted five elements formation.

"This is the terrifying power of the formation. Once you are trapped in the formation, even if your magic power is far superior, you will fall into an irreparable disadvantage."

Lu Cheng stood in the Yang position, and at this moment he was controlling the Vajra Flying Sword in the sky.

Wu Lingjun held the Hanlin Tourmaline in her hand and was in the Yin position of the formation. She was at the bottom at this time, and the positions of the two would exchange from time to time.

Just like yin and yang, it surrounds the five elements.

"It is also because Ao Daoyuan has exhausted his strength and magic power. Otherwise, whether it is the magical power of calling the wind and rain at the beginning, or his dual cultivation of magic and body, he can quickly break this formation. Dual cultivation of magic and body is powerful, but after all, it is not as changeable as magic."

Wu Lingjun below responded with this telepathic message.

"Ah..."

At this moment, Ao Daoyuan was surrounded by the Five Elements Formation, sometimes turning into a dragon and sometimes into a human form, but he was still unable to break through the formation.

The chaotic power of the five elements in the formation was getting stronger and stronger, and had begun to erode its meridians, bones and flesh. The old dragon suddenly roared and spit out a golden bead.

The inner elixir of the dragon is a desperate means for the demon cultivators. Their cultivation is difficult but their innate vitality is much stronger than that of the human cultivators. The inner elixir of the human cultivators is cultivated at the cost of their lives, and there is no way they can spit out the inner elixir even if they fight desperately.

That is where the soul of life resides. Of course, there are some magical weapons that can seal the golden elixir.

Boom.

The greatest and most powerful magic power in the dragon's inner elixir collided with the chaotic five elements power in the five elements formation, causing a loud explosion.

Ao Daoyuan took back his inner elixir at the first moment, but his face turned pale. However, the formation had been broken at this moment.
