Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 215: Chance, a Dream of a Hundred Years (Part )

In the Western Regions, above the vast sky, there was a surging sea of ​​clouds, and an old Taoist priest wearing an old red robe, short in stature, with white hair and eyebrows, stood in the air.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man with a strong and sturdy build, wearing a Taoist robe. Half of his face was destroyed, while the other half was still handsome and heroic. His appearance at this moment should have been terrifying, but this man had a majestic temperament and a dignified demeanor. Against this background, even the half of his face that was destroyed actually highlighted his unparalleled spirit.

"Su Yue, this is an old account from many years ago. Do you still want to continue to tangle with Huang Longzi?"

Chi Shen Zi closed his eyes slightly and murmured in a low voice, almost whispering, but he knew that the person opposite him could hear him.

"It's not a grudge between me and Huang Longzi. He almost burned half of my body with dragon flames back then, and I have let go of that grudge. But there must be a conclusion between the Tianhe Orthodox Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace. This Western Region was originally the foundation of our sect. It's not something that Huang Longzi can occupy whenever he wants without paying any price.

I am here, you are here too, let's just stay here. If Huang Longzi can survive the forty-nine tribulations, I will turn around and leave without saying a word. If Huang Longzi can't survive, it is his fate, but I can't allow you to go against his destiny.

Even if it takes ten or twenty years, I will stay with you."

While the two were talking, between Su Yue and Chi Shen Zi, flying swords were flying and sword energy was crisscrossing, cutting out a chaotic sea of ​​clouds that was cut by sword energy, which was truly the words "tearing the sky and splitting the clouds".

Although Su Yue has not been out for a long time, he is also one of the top three Taoist masters in the Tianhe Sword Sect. He has a famous master and a very solid foundation in swordsmanship. Even Chi Shen Zi will not be able to do anything to him in a short period of time.

The two of them didn't use any other magical weapons, they just fought with swordsmanship.

The flying sword controlled by Su Yue was relatively wide and heavy, and he chopped down with the heavy sword repeatedly. However, the sword skill of Chi Shen Zi was sudden and vague, and the sword light was distant.

The two sides fought with sword energy and sword skills, and the sword energy was so fierce that it tore through the air like ghosts crying and gods howling.

Viewed from afar, it seemed as if under the endless dome, there were two endless sword dragons, one red and one white. They were entangled and circling with each other, biting each other. It was so shocking!
Su Yue's sword energy became stronger and stronger, causing Chi Shen Zi's flying sword to slightly lose balance.

But the old Taoist raised his eyebrows and immediately retaliated, summoning his magic power to create a rainbow of light, forcing his opponent to retreat half a step.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Shen Zi performed several magical sword techniques in succession. The sword light shuttled back and forth, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes striking hard, sometimes sweeping lightly, constantly compressing the space for Su Yue to operate the flying sword with flexible and swift sword paths.

However, the swordsmanship of the Tianhe Orthodox Sect is also unique in this world. Su Yue is half a level inferior to the Red God Son, but the inheritance he cultivated is even half a level higher than the Red God Son.

Therefore, the two sides fought hard for many hours and were evenly matched. Unless they fought to the death, neither could do anything to the other.

“If I kill Su Yue here, regardless of the consequences, if Master Jiao gets really angry and attacks us, Senior Brother Huang Longzi will be dead.

Never mind, I have done my best to keep him here, and I will leave the rest to fate."

High above the vast sea of ​​clouds in the Western Regions, the ancestor of the Red God was resisting the Taoist Su Yue of the Tianhe Sword Sect.

At the same time, Mie Hongzi brought a group of his disciples to seek refuge under the Taoist Master Qingxuan of the Eight Views and Madam Cangjian of the Cangjian Palace, guaranteeing with their own lives that Huang Longzi would never be a formidable enemy of the righteous path after surviving the forty-nine tribulations.

If it were anyone else, they would have no face or qualifications to say such things.

However, Mie Hongzi punished evil and promoted good, killed all evildoers with his sword, and traveled around the world for hundreds of years for Cangjian Palace and Bajingguan.

Now she has used up all the favors and face she has accumulated over the past few hundred years, and she also has to take Master Qingxuan and Madam Cangjian into consideration.

"Forget it, I, Bajingguan, will not get involved in this matter." After pondering for a moment, Master Qingxuan finally answered like this, which made Miehongzi look very happy.

"My Hidden Sword Palace will no longer be involved in this matter, but Mie Hongzi, if Huang Longzi really becomes a calamity for the righteous path in the future, I will also take your life!"

Madam Cang Jian was a lady with an elegant demeanor, wearing a hat with a thin veil covering her face. However, her words were as cold as swords, and no one present would doubt her determination to keep her word.

Cangjian Palace was a large sect with hundreds of years of history. Even if Huang Longzi really survived the forty-nine tribulations, Cangjian Palace would have a good chance of killing a Jindan Grandmaster if it put all its resources into it.

Today, in addition to Master Qingxuan and Madam Cangjian, representatives of the eight major orthodox sects of the righteous path have come to the Taoist temple of Bajingguan.

A great master of the demonic path is about to overcome the forty-nine tribulations and reach a realm that no cultivator has reached in this world for thousands of years.

Although the eight orthodox religions of the righteous path appear to be calm on the surface, in fact, undercurrents have long been surging.

If there were no threat from the demon gods outside the realm, let alone Mie Hongzi, even if Chi Shen Zi from Huoyun Mansion was here, he would not be able to shake the determination of Zhenren Qingxuan and Madam Cangjian.

At this time, the stronger your power can be, the better, even if that power belongs to the devil.

"My Xiantian faction will not be involved in this matter."

"My Guanghan Palace will not be involved in this matter."

Four of the eight orthodox sects, namely the Bajing Sect, Cangjian Palace, Xiantian Sect, and Guanghan Palace, have announced in succession that they will not participate in this matter. The Tianhe Orthodox Sect in the Western Region did not attend the meeting because the Northern Sect of Demons has been closed for a hundred years, but they are sure to stop Huang Longzi's magical power from breaking through.

Mo Hanyuan attended the Huoyun Mansion on behalf of his master, Chi Shen Zi, but he didn't need to say anything, as others knew the Huoyun Mansion's position.

“After the forty-nine tribulations are over, a god will be reborn. How can such a feat be accomplished by a demon cultivator? Regardless of whether fellow cultivators support it or not, the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea must stop this demon from practicing successfully to prevent him from committing heinous crimes in the future.” A short and fat middle-aged cultivator in a yellow robe stood up and said this.

He is a cultivator from Tumu Island, and he came to attend this Dharma Assembly on behalf of Tianji Mansion and Zifu Chonglou.

"A few years ago, the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea defeated the Jiaolong Clan of Hualongyuan and hired assassins from the Blood Rain Tower to assassinate Master Deng of Dongji Island. Now they are going to expand their influence to the Middle Earth so soon?"

Mo Hanyuan, the eldest senior brother of Huoyun Mansion, said with some displeasure that even if he cared about his master's attitude, he had to show it at this moment.

"Killing evil demons and heretics is the bounden duty of righteous cultivators. The fellows from the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea are willing to take on this responsibility, which is already a heroic act. I, Soul-Suppressing Valley, am also willing to join them."

The Soul-Surrounding Valley lineage among the eight orthodox religions in Middle-earth has Taoism that is too narrow-minded and harsh. They have always taken the extermination of evil spirits as their mission, which is somewhat related to their practice of Taoism.

They believe that "killing on behalf of God is merciless", and for them, perhaps Huang Longzi, a giant of the magic world, who has survived the forty-nine tribulations, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they naturally don't want to miss it.

In addition to the eight major orthodox religions in Middle-earth, some second- and third-rate sects of the Taoist sect also participated in this ceremony.

Seeing that the vast majority of orthodox religious leaders were unwilling to get involved in this matter, and that the Northern Demon Sect had always lived in the Western Regions and had a poor reputation, most of the Xuanmen Taoist sects were unwilling to get involved in this matter.

But some monks thought this was an opportunity and agreed to travel together to the Western Regions.

Most of it was due to the situation in this world, and a small part was also due to the fact that the Sword-wielding Elder of the Cangjian Palace killed Hongzi.

Most of the killing disasters coming from the righteous path were resolved and removed.

The four essentials of spiritual practice are Dharma, land, companion and wealth. This is the role of companion. Huang Longzi has two fellow Taoists who are willing to work hard for him, which is why he has the opportunity to achieve enlightenment today.

……

At the same time, in the retreat cave of Taoist Lu Cheng in Zhiguan Mountain.

The underground fire flows, and the flying sword is sharpened. The appropriate fire properties can sharpen the flying sword.

During these years, Lu Cheng was not unaware of the establishment of the White Bone Cave in the Western Regions. He Tianyan and Xiu Yunxian had gathered together a group of evil people to capture Guizang Mountain and capture Madam Baoxiang and the twin daughters of the Xiao family alive.

Lu Cheng knew all of this. Not only him, but all of Huang Longzi's disciples also knew about it.

After all, the Northern Demon Sect has been established in the Western Regions for many years, so it must have some connections.

But He Tianyan and his wife dared to build a cave and gather all the evil spirits, so they were not afraid of people knowing.

He Tianyan was once as famous as his master Huang Longzi. After practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, he had already reached the late Golden Elixir realm. He betrayed his sect and became a disciple of Dongyang Orthodox Church, where his magical powers were further enhanced.

Fairy Yunfeng is Xiu Yunxian. Even if she is a little weaker than her master's wife, Madam Baoxiang, the gap is not too big. Moreover, who knows what kind of vicious and cruel magic she has practiced over the years.

True Man Xuehe, Lin Luocai of the Netherworld Sword Sect, Bai Xiyu, the Pityful Young Master, and the two evil men of the Wen Clan in Beimang Mountain were all vicious men who had been rampant in the world for hundreds of years and were rarely subdued. Although Lu Cheng was conceited, he also knew that with his current magical powers, it would be difficult for him to survive against them. He might be able to kill one or two of them by fighting to the death, but that was just a possibility.

Time is the most fair thing. The gap in magical power accumulated over hundreds of years is not so easy to make up.

"I can guess that Master must have made some arrangements and preparations, but I don't know what they are specifically. The situation is turbulent and the enemy and us are unclear. It is better to stay still than to move."

This is also the common thought of Huang Longzi's disciples during this period. So whether it is Yuwen Zheng, Wu Lingjun, Ou Bai, or Lu Cheng, they have been practicing Taoism in their own caves in the mountains during this period, waiting for changes in the outside world.

On this day, Lu Cheng was practicing magic in his own cave. The cave, which was connected to the earth fire, was deep and quiet.

On the Yin-Yang platform, Lu Cheng was wearing a simple Taoist robe and sitting cross-legged. His eyes were closed, and white air lingered between his mouth and nose when he breathed, as if he was interacting and blending with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

As time passed, a blood-red Tai Chi diagram emerged, with Lu Cheng's body as the center, appearing and disappearing, circling back and forth.

As both are about the conversion of the two energies of life and death, the methods of Buddhism and Taoism are different, but they have similarities.

Lu Cheng had experienced the Nirvana Golden Lotus' method of turning death into life, and after years of practice, thinking, and comprehension, he gradually realized the Taoist method of "transforming life and death, and reincarnation after death" from the extreme death of swordsmanship. However, he still lacked some skills and therefore it sometimes worked and sometimes not.

"The Nirvana Golden Lotus is nourished by the dead air, giving birth to pure vitality in filth and extinction. The Taoist way of reversing the exchange of life and death follows the principle of the mutual generation of yin and yang, the generation of yang from yin, and good times after bad times, transforming the air of death into the air of life. Each has its own mysteries, and you can only choose one and follow it."

There are indeed masters of both Buddhism and Taoism in this world, but Lu Cheng's understanding of the Taoist concept of life and death has already consumed his mind greatly, and he really does not have the energy left to comprehend the Nirvana Golden Lotus method.

Although what Lu Cheng learned throughout his life was diverse, he was ultimately on the right path without deviation.

At this moment, Lu Cheng was meditating and practicing.

Suddenly, he felt a very faint call ringing in his heart.

At first, Lu Cheng thought it was an attack from an outside demon, and was about to break it with the righteous method, but suddenly he realized that he seemed to have encountered such a thing many years ago. As his mind moved, Lu Cheng's mind naturally sank into his body. The body sitting cross-legged on the Yin-Yang platform, the blood-colored Tai Chi around it was collected in the body, and the head was drooping as if it had suddenly fallen asleep.

"Which spiritual beast is calling me? The poisonous golden silkworm Gu? No, I am most concerned about the insect world, which is relatively stable.

A fourth-level dog demon? It's unlikely. That dog demon is timid and afraid of death, and always lives in groups...

Golden-winged Dapeng? It can’t be the remaining eight golden corpses who want to avenge their brothers and come to trouble me…”

Yuan Shi fell, crashed into the cauldron, and came to a water world.

The dark red spiritual light plunged into the water, and when it reached a quite deep depth, Lu Cheng saw a red dying dragon.

Lu Cheng also did not expect that the one who summoned him here with such a strong will was the first young fire dragon he had subdued since he came to this world.

The flow of time in the Jiuli Ding is different from that in the outside world. The more frequently Lu Cheng communicates, the more synchronized the world in the Ding will be with the main world outside. So now, except for the Insect Town world, Lu Cheng rarely communicates with the world where these spirit beasts are, so that they have relatively more time to grow.

The world of insects produces jade bee syrup, so there is no way. Moreover, the world in the cauldron is not completely peaceful, and Lu Cheng also needs to protect the spirit beasts that he cares about.

But this fire dragon was different. Except for the first few times in the past hundred years, Lu Cheng had hardly ever communicated with this world again. At first, it was because the fire dragon was too young and useless. Later, when he occasionally remembered to invest his Yuan consciousness, he found that he could not enter.

It seemed that the fire dragon inside had used some means to block itself. The Jiuli Ding still had infinite mysteries, and Lu Cheng's current understanding of it was just the tip of the iceberg.

"So, you are about to die and you want me to save you?"

Looking at the adult but seriously injured and dying fire dragon in front of him, Lu Cheng naturally thought so.

The dragon is probably not a rare creature in the Jiuli Ding. There are countless prehistoric monsters that are more powerful and terrifying than it. It just depends on whether you will encounter it.

"Roar!"

Along with the roar of the giant beast in front of him, a thought was injected into Lu Cheng's mind.

Lu Cheng blocked it first, making sure it had no lethality, before he started reading:
Coming to this world, being born, hunting, and struggling to survive, as time goes by, they gradually begin to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, practice, and become stronger. Their own bodies become larger and larger, and it becomes easier and easier to hunt. Finally, they no longer have to suffer from survival and hunger, but the pursuit of strength has become an instinct.

This is a combative male red dragon. It travels around the world looking for strong opponents to fight with. It even encountered a real dragon and fought with it. The real dragon did not want to get hurt and turned around and fled. This was the most proud battle in the life of this red dragon.

I lived happily like this until I met her!

It was a chubby green female dragon, which looked so beautiful under the moonlight. The red dragon was attracted to her the first moment he saw her.

It hunted for her, danced for her, and then raped her - this is how dragons courted, and in this way the red dragon and the green dragon formed a happy family.

In this area of ​​water, in addition to these two dragons, there is also a dragon turtle, Bixi, which has already achieved some level of cultivation.

It has strong defense and is naturally good at calculation. The two sides fought several battles to control this area of ​​water.

The magic power of the red dragon and the green dragon is not inferior to it, and they can easily suppress it together, but the dragon turtle has strong defense, and can always escape even if it is suppressed but not killed.

Moreover, it has the ability to calculate easily, and can always attack the red dragon and the green dragon when their luck is the lowest and they are weakest.

It suddenly attacked when the red dragon was on a dangerous hunt, severely injuring the red dragon. It also suddenly arrived when the green dragon was laying eggs, severely injuring both the red and green dragons, completely defeating the two enemies.

"You want me to save your child?"

When Lu Cheng came out of this thought, he already understood the cause and effect. There was nothing to say, it was just the natural law of the jungle in the prehistoric world.

If the dragon turtle was a little weaker, only its shell would be left now.

The huge red dragon nodded, let out a mournful cry, then turned around and swam away. Lu Cheng followed it, with a dark red spiritual light of his essence flying around.

Not long after, they arrived at a cave on the edge of a body of water.

There was a green dragon inside, but it was completely dead.

The red dragon wailed twice around it, then pushed it open and took out a red dragon egg from the green dragon's lower abdomen.

However, the vitality of this dragon egg is very weak. Dragons are not a species that are good at reproduction. What's more, it was attacked during the gestation period, resulting in congenital deficiencies.

However, the red dragon back then was also born with deficiencies, but Lu Cheng helped it survive. So when it was close to death, it thought of Lu Cheng again. The strong thoughts were transmitted through the Jiuli Ding, and eventually attracted Lu Cheng's Yuan Consciousness to descend.

"It does have a hint of spirituality, but it is not naturally gifted. If it relies on itself, I'm afraid it won't be able to get out."

At this moment, the sound of the sea waves came from outside the cave, and at the same time, a demonic aura attacked.

"Roar!"

The red dragon roared and swam out regardless of its own serious injuries. Before leaving the cave, it turned its head to look at Lu Cheng with pleading eyes.

"... Never mind. If you die too, I will probably just flee from this world. I also need time to comprehend the Dao. I have hardly communicated with this world. Helping you grow up should allow me to stay in this world for a long time."

Thinking of this, the ball of light that Lu Cheng transformed into was thrown into the red dragon egg in front of him. The originally dark dragon egg gradually began to emit a hazy glow.

In less than a moment, the dragon egg shook slightly and rolled into the cold sea water. Stimulated by the cold sea water, a small red dragon that looked like an earthworm broke out of the shell.

Lu Cheng could sense the little dragon's will, but it was extremely weak. He suppressed it directly, then quickly swallowed the broken eggshells with his dragon body and swam out of the cave.

Just as Lu Cheng thought, although the red dragon was brave and fierce, it was seriously injured after all. When Lu Cheng controlled the dragon to swim out, the red dragon had been bitten in the middle of its body by the dragon turtle. After several efforts, it bit it off.

Large streams of blood dyed the sea red.

However, this red dragon was so ferocious that it actually entangled half of its body with the dragon turtle and rolled together, continuing to bite it madly and attacking relentlessly.

The rebellious son of the dragon, the dragon clan!
Although it does not have the ability to create clouds and rain, it is still more ferocious and aggressive than a real dragon.

"Let's go. You can't help it here. You will only distract it. It is actually very happy to die with your mother."

Feeling the weak consciousness of the soul in his body, Lu Cheng sent a thought over, and the feeling of fighting for the physical body soon subsided.

Although it is the original owner of this body, it is too weak compared to Lu Cheng in every aspect.

From this day on, Lu Cheng began to live and survive in this vast ocean as a fire dragon.

The blue sea is rough and boundless.

The underwater world is mysterious, unpredictable, undercurrent-filled, and full of dangers.

On the coral reefs, colorful fish shuttle between them, which is as gorgeous as a dream. However, behind this beauty is the cruel law of survival of the fittest.

The huge anemone sways its tentacles, tempting every small fish passing by to become a part of its dinner plate.

Schools of silvery sardines swam quickly, forming a tight circular array to try to confuse predators.

Around this group of sardines, there lurks a slender sea wolf. Its eyes are as sharp as knives, and it patiently waits for the best opportunity to hunt.

In a dark sea, a group of clownfish carefully surrounded a sea anemone, their bright orange and black stripes standing out against the dark seabed. Their mouths opened and closed, making tiny bubbles, and they communicated with each other using weak electric lights, alert to the movements around them.

Suddenly, a huge killer whale broke through the water, causing a huge wave. The creatures on the seabed immediately fled in all directions, and the originally peaceful seabed instantly became chaotic.

The killer whale opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, as if it could devour any creature that stood in its way.

In an area covered with seaweed, a starfish is quietly attached to a rock, its five arms and legs slowly stretching out, trying to touch more food.

Not far away, a crab waved its claws and looked around vigilantly, afraid of becoming a predator's meal.

The sea, this vast world, is a battle between life and death every moment. The strong leave their footprints here, and the weak become nutrients for other lives. This is an endless competition for survival, and every marine creature is part of this battle.

"Don't go to deep waters or places where there is too much food. There won't be humans in this world. So go to shallow waters. Overly large creatures will get stranded there."

Lu Cheng controlled the red dragon to swim forward like an earthworm, and even if there was some food around it, it would ignore it.

The sufficient energy brought by swallowing the eggshell is still replenishing and nourishing the body. The most important thing now is to find a relatively safe place.

At this time and in this situation, a larger fish swam over nearby, and Lu Cheng had to be extremely alert. This accident was really a huge opportunity for him:

When practicing the general principles of Xuanmen, the more deeply you understand and comprehend the true blood that has been integrated into your own body, the more you will be able to integrate yourself with your practice, and change according to your heart.

So, what could be a more in-depth understanding than to transform yourself into a dragon and grow up?

Even if he did not have the true blood of a dragon or even a fire dragon at present, practicing the Xuanmen General Principles did not stop at just fusing one kind of true blood. After fusing the true blood of the Sun-Swallowing Fire Ape, if he wanted to continue practicing the technique in the future, he would have to fuse the second and third kinds of true spirit blood.

Jiaolong, dragon, these are almost inevitable options. Therefore, they are relatively easy to obtain, and they are extremely powerful and have great potential.
