Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 214: Seven Immortals of the White Bone Cave
The news of the sword fight at Yueting Mountain spread and had a great impact.

Lu Cheng, the ninth disciple of Guizang Mountain, fought alone against six elders of the Southern Sect. This, of course, brought great shame to the Southern Sect monks.

After the six elders returned to the Southern Sect, they all went into seclusion, either intending to cultivate powerful magic powers to avenge their humiliation, or because they were too embarrassed to face people. These were all natural choices.

Compared with this, the matter of Wu Tan Country is not worth mentioning. Its influence in Tong Xuan Realm is far less than that of the sword fight at Yue Ting Mountain.

It was unimaginable for a sword cultivator at the Refining Gang Realm to defeat a cultivator at the Jie Dan Realm. It was even more unimaginable for one to fight six.

Even a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core Realm may not be able to defeat six Jindan Realm cultivators who have practiced for many years and have profound magical powers. There have also been cases where cultivators who have just entered the Golden Core Realm have been defeated or killed by late Jindan Realm cultivators who have relied on their experience and sophistication.

But after understanding more and more about the situation, these became gradually acceptable.

It turned out that Lu Cheng had the help of external alchemy tools and had cultivated extremely powerful magic skills.

External alchemy magic tools can enhance the mana of a cultivator in the Lian Gang realm to the Jin Dan realm. Although it is only the initial stage of Jin Dan, it is still the mana of a realm after all.

He is skilled in swordsmanship and can make decisions on the spot, and is also good at magic skills. If he is also a narrow-minded and unruly person, he will fight for his life with every move.

It doesn't seem completely inconceivable that the older generation of monks lacked the same spirit and were unwilling to fight to the death, and were eventually defeated one by one.

But no matter how you look at it, this battle has far-reaching impacts. Lu Cheng did achieve his goal of establishing a reputation for Guizang Mountain and sharing some of the pressure with himself.

Perhaps some monks will stop and no longer get involved in this mess.

The Palace of the Incarnation of All Beasts and the Valley of Disasters, the headquarters of the Southern Sect.

In the deep and quiet Taoist palace in the belly of the mountain, surrounded by firelight, a beautiful woman in a snow-white fox fur coat was lazily leaning on a large jade couch carefully carved from ten thousand year old cold jade.

"It was indeed one against six. I have personally asked Xiao Qiufeng and checked Ge Shixian's injuries. At least these two people have tried their best."

In front of Madam Miaoyi, the leader of the Southern Sect, a tall and withered old man reported the incident of the sword fight at Yueting Mountain.

The upper echelons on both sides have their own opinions.

"So, Huang Longzi and my junior sister have taught another good seedling? This disciple is so good at fighting and dealing with life and death. He is definitely not a disciple I can teach."

Madam Miaoyi's fingers gently stroked an ancient long sword beside her. The sword was engraved with mysterious spells and emitted a faint light.

The Taoist temple was filled with a calm and peaceful atmosphere, with the air filled with the faint fragrance of herbs and sandalwood. The beautiful woman looked calm and composed, as if all the noise and disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

A nimble jade rabbit was hopping at her feet, its fur gleaming silver in the firelight.

"He wants to do something to share the pressure for Huang Longzi. Since he is so filial, let's give him some fuel. Let's spread the word that this kid has a secret treasure similar to the Zhilan Garden, which produces all kinds of spiritual objects with endless uses."

"As you command, Palace Master."

The withered old man bowed his head and obeyed.

Zhilan Garden is a rare treasure owned by a wandering cultivator overseas. It is placed in a gourd, which can create a hundred acres of spiritual fields when used. He has managed it for hundreds of years and named it Zhilan Garden. There are countless rare flowers and herbs in it, which he used to practice and become a fifth-level alchemist.

But this strange and unique cultivator hides here and there every day and dares not show up easily, because countless people want to snatch this rare treasure from him.

That Lu Cheng possesses the spiritual object Jade Bee Honey, but his cave residence at Guanyuan Peak must not have raised a large number of bee colonies, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from others.

Therefore, Madam Miaoyi's order to spread the news was not really unfair to him. As long as the news spread, the situation that Lu Cheng would face would not be much better than that of the overseas wandering cultivator. It could also be considered as a way for the Southern Sect to secretly vent its anger.

The Southern Sect elder walked away with a smug look on his face.

However, behind him, Madam Miaoyi sighed softly:

"It is because I am too good at these tricks of taking advantage of situations that the Southern Sect has been deteriorating under my leadership. If Lucheng can withstand all these disasters, its reputation will grow day by day, and people will support it. In the long run, will there still be masters in our Southern Sect?"

The split between the Southern and Northern sects was that after Huang Longzi joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, he made ten great contributions and created the Xuanmen General Principles that were contrary to the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Art inherited from the sect, which eventually split the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace into two lineages.

If it was just an isolated case of Huang Longzi, it would not be a big deal. But now Yuwen Zheng has refined a top-grade golden elixir, and Lu Cheng has defeated the six elders with his sword.

If this continues, the young monks with potential and ambition in the sect will inevitably become restless. More and more talented young people will go to the north, and those who remain in the sect will be opportunists. The trend of the north prospering and the south declining is inevitable.

"Why am I thinking so much now? The fourth level of the 49th level of tribulation, the transformation of the fetus into a Nascent Soul, is a grand event that has not happened in this world for thousands of years. If Huang Longzi really achieves this, how can I dare to resist his edge?"

The cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm steal the true breath of heaven and earth to practice and enhance their own magic power. Therefore, once they condense the golden elixir, they will have to go through forty-nine tribulations.

When the golden elixir is condensed, the dragon and the tiger meet and the catastrophe is derived into one catastrophe. The third level of the golden elixir is one catastrophe, the sixth level of the golden elixir is one catastrophe, and the ninth level of the golden elixir is one catastrophe. Various secret methods and treasures can be used to conceal the secrets of heaven and postpone the catastrophe. Depending on the circumstances, blessings, and merits of the cultivators who face the catastrophe, the degree of heavenly punishment that comes down each time is also different.

But once the forty-nine tribulations are over, the transformation from the fetus to the Nascent Soul will happen naturally.

The Tongxuan Realm cannot come into contact with other worlds of cultivation. Otherwise, the cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm will find that it is not easy for them to pass the forty-nine tribulations, but the step of transforming the fetus into a Nascent Soul is much easier than for cultivators in other realms.

……

Before long, the news that Lu Cheng possessed a secret treasure similar to the "Zhilan Garden" spread widely and became known to everyone.

But Lu Cheng ignored it and continued to practice Taoism and swordsmanship in Zhiguan Mountain.

The overseas strange man who owned the Zhilan Garden was just a casual cultivator, while Lu Cheng had a master and fellow disciples to rely on. How could he not take Yuwen Zheng and Huang Longzi seriously as a cultivator? How could he care about a small Zhilan Garden?
Time passes like this day after day.

After Lu Cheng had prepared everything, he began to refine his own life-saving magic weapon, the Five Elements Flying Sword:

Tianjun (metal), Qingming (wood), Jinghong (water), Cangyan (fire), Xuanzang (earth), Lu Cheng did not refine the five fifth-grade top-grade flying swords again, but chose to transform and refine the five fourth-grade top-grade flying swords he had used for many years.

A thousand days later, the five flying swords of the five elements were tempered in the earth's fire, and the sword bodies were completely disintegrated. However, the five sword intentions and sword energy spread throughout the world, diffusing away, just waiting for the opportunity to condense. When the three elements of time, place and people come together, the five swords will appear.

Lu Cheng hid in the mountains to practice Taoism and swordsmanship, while time passed outside year after year. Those monks who wanted Huang Longzi to die appeared one after another:

He Tianyan, the former traitor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, was a favored child of heaven who once competed with Master Huang Longzi. Madam Miaoyi, the current head of the Southern Sect, was overshadowed by the two of them.

Afterwards, the previous headmaster died and his sect disappeared, Huang Longzi split up the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts, and He Tianyan also abandoned his sect and left, becoming a disciple of the world's number one demon sect, Dongyang Orthodox Church. He gave up Taoism and focused on swordsmanship, and it was said that his Taoist skills were far better than before. Even within Dongyang Orthodox Church, he had a very high status and was highly respected.

Fairy Yunfeng, also known as Xiuyunxian, was saved by Taoist Huang Longzi in the past. She fell in love with him and became his disciple. She even had a past relationship with Huang Longzi.

But this girl was jealous by nature. Huang Longzi had several confidantes before he met her, but Xiu Yunxian was so fierce that she wanted to kill every one she saw. Huang Longzi could not tolerate her no matter how much he doted on her. In the end, the two of them parted ways and never contacted each other again.

Xiu Yunxian later met He Tianyan by chance. The two hit it off immediately and had a common enemy. The two of them worked together with evil spirits, and this time they came to the West, they were bound to stir up a huge evil wave.

He Tianyan and Xiu Yunxian calculated that Huang Longzi must be fully focused on dealing with the forty-nine calamities at this time, so they simply set up a base in the Western Regions, built the White Bone Cave, and called on all cultivators in the world to jointly kill Huang Longzi.

Although this approach has a big goal and is blatant, it is indeed the most appealing. Before long, many evil practitioners gathered there.

The most powerful among them are five monks.

Inside the Bone Cave.

He Tianyan and Xiu Yunxian, a couple, were the masters of the cave and sat in the main seat. On their left and right were middle-aged scholars in white clothes. They had slightly gray hair on their temples but looked young and handsome, but there was a hint of lust in their eyes.

Two black-robed men were now sitting at the same table, drinking and eating meat.

On the right is a Taoist in blood-stained robes, and below him, on the long table, is a swordsman in gray with a long sword on his back.

The kind-hearted young man Bai Xiyu and the two evil men of the Wen family in Beimang Mountain.

The current leader of the Xuehe Sect is Xuehe Zhenren, and the sword-wielding elder of the Netherworld Sword Sect is Lin Luocai.

These five people are all well-known villains in the evil world, and their reputation alone is higher than that of He Tianyan and Xiu Yunxian.

Some are Jindan Zhenren, some are Jindan late stage cultivators, but they must have cultivated extremely powerful magic, and none of them is easy to deal with.

For example, the two evil spirits of the Wen family in Beimang Mountain. They were both casual cultivators. Although they were extremely talented, they had not yet achieved the golden elixir. However, the two of them were in tune with each other and were good at combined attack techniques. They also summoned ghosts in Beimang Mountain and cultivated some extremely powerful magic. Ordinary golden elixir masters were unwilling to provoke them.

If these two people were to join a large demonic sect since childhood, as long as they did not die in the middle of the process, their chances of cultivating high-grade golden elixir would be quite high.

Bai Xiyu, the pitiful young man, is a master of spiritual practice who has been rampant for more than 600 years. When he was young, he had a special adventure and found a poor female cultivator with a special physique. He greatly purified her magic power, so that his foundation in cultivation was surprisingly not weak. Later, several encounters allowed him to comprehend the changes of yin and yang and practice the fourth-grade alchemy. Although he could not break through the realm in this lifetime, no one in the Tongxuan Realm had been able to cultivate the Nascent Soul for thousands of years.

There is no need to say much about Master Xuehe and Lin Luocai. They are both the masters of the two strongest sects in the Nine Palaces Demon Realm and are ranked among the sixteen evil sects in the world.

"You are all my Taoist priests. My wife and I are honored to have you here to join us in this great event. Come, let's drink to our victory."

He Tianyan was tall and had a tough temperament. At this moment, he stood up and raised his glass to signal, and all the evil practitioners present followed his lead.

At this time, in this white bone cave, in addition to the seven evil masters, there were also many evil cultivators who were practicing Gang, Condensing Evil, Building Foundation, and even practicing Qi Xiantian.

They were either disciples of the Blood River Sect or the Netherworld Sword Sect, or independent cultivators who were attracted by the fame of these seven people and gathered here. They all wanted to take advantage of the situation to break through Guizang Mountain and gain benefits.

Hundreds of people have gathered, and it's quite a big event.

In the Tongxuan Realm, spells are precious, and advanced cultivation spells are even more so. Many independent cultivators who are devoted to the Tao often fail to gain entry after decades of practice. This is still good. The worst are those who inexplicably break into the door. Nine out of ten people practice in a mess, gaining some magic power but paying a higher price.

What if they want advanced magic formulas?
Most of them can only do what they are doing now, taking advantage of the chaos and fishing in troubled waters. As long as they can get one or two volumes of books on magic formulas that can be used for cultivation, it will be a gain.

What's more, He Tianyan and Xiu Yunxian would occasionally discuss Taoism, so letting these people hear a few words was like giving them some sweet treats in advance.

"The cave master is too polite. Madam Baoxiang is a beauty of heaven and earth, and her two daughters are famous beauties in the Tongxuan world. Bai has admired them for a long time. I only hope that after conquering the mountain, I can have sex with her and have sex with her. The cave master will not be unwilling to promise, right?"

Bai Xiyu was coveting him, so naturally she wanted to test He Tianyan's attitude first.

After all, Madam Baoxiang was once He Tianyan's junior sister.

"This one……"

He Tianyan frowned slightly when he heard this. Back then, he had a good relationship with the sisters Miaoyi and Baoxiang. Although it was not a romantic relationship, there was always friendship between fellow disciples. If it were not for dealing with Huang Longzi, he would have swung his sword and killed people like Bai Xiyu long ago.

"Of course you can. When Bao Xiang and his husband dealt with Tian Yan, they showed no mercy."

He Tianyan was still hesitating when his wife Xiu Yunxian beside him had already made a promise. At the same time, she put her arms around her husband's arms to suppress his emotions.

"Hahaha, in that case, Bai will definitely do his best to help the Palace Master to conquer Guizang Mountain."

"We brothers are going to return to the Tibetan Mountain Spiritual Vein to establish our own sect!"

"Yes, my husband and I returned to the Western Regions with no intention of staying for long. We just wanted to get rid of the old hatred in our hearts."

He Tianyan agreed to the request of the two evil men of the Wen family without thinking twice.

"Madam Baoxiang and the two beauties of the Xiao family belong to Fellow Daoist Bai. The spiritual vein of Guizang Mountain belongs to the two Fellow Daoists Wen. Then, the cave master will have the first choice for the books and instruments in Huang Longzi's collection, and we will be the next. How do you think?"

For the He couple, Master Xuehe and Lin Luocai, Huang Longzi's skills and magical instruments are of course the most valuable.

The pity-loving young master Bai Xiyu and the two evil men of the Wen family looked at each other and agreed to this distribution plan.

"Huang Longzi is difficult to deal with, but I heard that his wife and two daughters moved to Xiaoshang River a few years ago. After some time, when the robbery power grows and Huang Longzi has less and less time to pay attention to other things, perhaps we can go visit his wife and two nieces."

Bai Xiyu said this with a smile on her face, causing all the evil cultivators present to laugh out loud.
