Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 217: Round and bright. There is no good or evil, Taoism and Buddhism are in it
High in the sky, there are clouds and mist, and the sun shines through the mist, casting dots of golden light.

A fire dragon, which already had a very powerful posture, was suspended in the blue sky and white clouds, and its red scales reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

The Great Sun's Fire Gang, the Great Sun's Divine Gang, burns everything inside and outside, reaching everywhere.

But this is not enough, it is not enough to refine the powerful blood evil, refine it to the utmost purity, and trace back to the source.

Its eyes were like two balls of blazing red flames, burning with a desire for power.

The fire dragon in the sky danced with its slender and mighty body, opened its huge mouth, and began to actively swallow and exhale the purest Sun Divine Fire Qi between heaven and earth.

The fiery energy gathered to the extreme, like golden-red flowing lava, carrying tremendous heat and destructive power, which was absorbed one by one by the fire dragon to refine its body.

During this unique training process, the Fire Dragon's body gradually expanded and grew, emitting a more brilliant flame glow. Its magic power continued to grow, and it seemed that even the clouds were shocked by its momentum. The surrounding clouds were dispersed by the heat waves around the Fire Dragon, forming a strange hole.

The flowing clouds in the air, when approaching the fire dragon, were like encountering an invisible barrier and were ruthlessly burned into nothingness.

Lu Cheng, who was manifested by the condensed body of Yuanshi, was watching and remembering below him. He spoke and gave instructions from time to time.

The so-called method of improving one's inner demons is like when a person is climbing a mountain, when he is about to reach the top of the mountain, he suddenly removes all his equipment and weights, bursts out all his physical strength and runs a few steps upwards.

These steps are of course much faster than others, but if you can successfully reach the top before you run out of energy, it is good. Even if you don't reach the top, you can just reach a platform to take a breath and rest before making plans. But if you fail to reach the top before you run out of energy, it goes without saying that the person who performed this technique will suffer a tragic end.

"It has been with me since it was young. It has more human nature and less animal nature. Today, I am using the magic sect's mental method to cultivate its strong spirit and temper its character. This is not bad."

Lu Cheng trained the Fire Dragon and assisted it in practicing the Heart Demon Improvement Method, but he did not teach it completely. This was certainly not out of any desire to keep something to himself, or because he wanted to teach his apprentice to starve himself to death.

But Lu Cheng knew that with the current temperament of this fire dragon, if it completely learned this technique, it would become addicted to it in the future. With its talent, it might be able to go a long way, but if there was no great opportunity, it would eventually run out of strength and be shattered on this road of cultivation.

After all, after teaching for so many years, Lu Cheng didn't want it to end like this.

As time went by, the flames around the fire dragon in the sky began to become purer and more refined, gradually changing from red to gold, which was a symbol of a higher level of magical power.

At the same time, the body of the fire dragon began to expand, but still maintained a perfect streamlined shape. Every inch of its bones, flesh, scales, and every line revealed a perfect sense of power, as if it could leap through the air and clouds and reach the sky with just one leap.

However, at this moment, Lu Cheng, who was watching from below, suddenly turned slightly to the side with a gloomy look on his face.

However, in the deep sea on the right side, a deep breath was approaching rapidly.

It was a gigantic sea crocodile, its body as big as a small mountain. What was even more frightening was that it approached almost silently.

The scales all over its body are rough and hard, as if they were black rocks that had been polished for countless years. The scales are like ancient armor, emitting a cold metallic luster.

As the sea crocodile swam slowly closer, its huge tail twisted lightly in the water, stirring up layers of whirlpools that pushed its mountain-like body forward.

"Dragon? No, it's a Jiao! A Jiao dragon with very pure blood. If I can swallow it, it will definitely greatly cleanse my blood..."

This fifth-level sea crocodile opened its huge mouth greedily, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth like swords, like an evil demon waiting for prey in the darkness. Its breath was as cold as the icy world in the Far North.

"There is no supreme one among the three religions. Since ancient times, only Taoism has been respected. But Jiao'er, you must also remember that those who take a hundred steps often break at ninety. When you are about to obtain the fruit of Taoism, it is often the moment when all calamities come to an end."

Lu Cheng teaches his disciples almost anytime and anywhere, and at the same time, he secretly uses his hands to perform magic. He only has his Yuanzhi Yin body here, and all his accumulated powerful Gangsha magic power is gone now, but this does not mean that Lu Cheng lacks means.

After practicing Taoism for a hundred years, what Lu Cheng lacks most is the power of killing.

As the Five Elements Handprint was secretly operating, the fifth-level sea crocodile in the distance that was still waiting for the opportunity to pounce was shocked to find a vortex of cloud composed of the five elements appearing in the sky. At first, only half of the magic power was pushed into it.

But as the sea crocodile watched cautiously, that one point of magic power quickly increased to ten points, one hundred points...

Before the sea crocodile could understand what was happening, it saw the swirling clouds in the sky violently gather together, and finally transform into a giant hand that covered the sky and the earth, and slammed down.

It was not until this moment that it realized that the other party had discovered it.

The sword's heart is clear and insightful, like a god looking down on everything. Although this fifth-level sea crocodile has accumulated some skills, the concealment techniques he created instinctively are still a bit crude compared to the inherited techniques of the twelve top sects.

Lu Cheng used the Heaven-Snatching Spirit Transformation Technique in conjunction with the Five Elements Great Seal, secretly operating the magic formula to create an external lead and mercury pill.

Why not the golden elixir?
The most important thing in the path of the golden elixir is purity, and the Gangsha magic power should be circulated freely. If there are too many impurities, the elixir will often be destroyed and the person will die at the most critical moment of making the elixir.

Directly absorbing the five elements between heaven and earth to perform magic, even Lu Cheng can only cultivate lead and mercury pills now.

But the translucent five-colored handprint flying in the sky was extremely powerful in Lu Cheng's hand, and it almost had the power to split the sky and the sea.

"Roar!"

A fifth-level sea crocodile leaped into the air and pounced. The moment it completely jumped out of the water, a rolling black thundercloud spread out with its huge mountain-like body as the center. It was a kind of water-based thunder method that it had acquired through self-realization.

The spells of monsters are often not as complex and numerous as those of human cultivators, but they are also often extremely pure and powerful, far exceeding those of cultivators at the same level.

Boom.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm explosion in the air.

The lightning that was flying through the sky failed to fall on Lu Cheng's body. At the same time, the sea crocodile was also unable to break through Lu Cheng's five qi wheels.

Lu Cheng retreated quickly, and with just this one move, the vortex of vital energy in the sky was reduced by half.

But at this time, the red dragon also dispersed its energy to resume today's practice, and then swayed its dragon body and pounced on the attack.

The time it takes to practice is simply incomparable to that of most fifth-order monsters.

But what Lu Cheng taught it was the art of body training, which emphasized the courage of blood and energy. At the same time, it cultivated a breath of Flame Dragon's true breath, repeatedly hammering it to the highest purity.

At this moment, a red beam of light shot down and hit the body of the sea crocodile. The protective magic power accumulated for thousands of years was instantly broken. Even the scales on its body that had been tempered for thousands of years were directly pierced through, going straight into its flesh and bones. There was a sense of terrifying power that seemed to be causing all things to collapse and all souls to perish.

"Roar!"

The sea crocodile roared in pain, but what immediately surged into its heart was an even greater greed and desire.

The opponent's magic power is obviously one major realm weaker than his own, but he can use such terrible spells. The more he practices, the greater the advantage of these descendants of the True Spirit Phoenix will be.

The Great Sun Golden Crow, the descendant of the Five Elements Peacock, even if he does not practice cultivation, once he grows up, he will still be at a level that most monsters cannot reach even if they practice hard for a lifetime.

"Eat you! Eat you! Eat you, and everything about you will be mine."

With this terrifying murderous intention in mind, despite being injured, the fifth-level sea crocodile did not retreat but advanced instead, entangled, coiled, and bit the red dragon that swooped down.

The fifth-level sea crocodile has been practicing for thousands of years, and has profound magic power and an extremely strong body. The red dragon has been cultivated by Lu Cheng for a decade, fusing the blood evil and the sun divine power, and has already shed its dragon body and revealed its dragon body.

Two terrifying beasts were tearing and killing each other on the sea surface, making the sea surface within a radius of ten miles seem to be boiling.

The red dragon's body is filled with a mixture of gold and red Great Sun Fire. Although it is not yet pure and deep, its foundation is very good and it causes huge burning damage to the sea crocodile every moment.

However, this sea crocodile was not an easy one to deal with. Hundreds of thousands of water-based magic thunders were intertwined around its body, forming lightning nets that fell down in a staggered manner, also causing huge damage to the red dragon.

Fortunately, Chi Jiao had practiced the Heart Demon Refining Method and had a strong obsession. He had also been tempered repeatedly by the Great Sun Divine Gang and was not afraid of pain.

If it continued to fight like this, it would have a chance of winning against a fifth-level deep-sea monster with its fourth-level monster body. However, how could Lu Cheng watch this happen?

"Alas, you fight for your life every time, but how many lives do you have left to fight for?"

Lu Cheng's Yuan Consciousness Yin body was suspended in the air not far away, with his hands controlling seals and turning hand gestures. Above the high-altitude dome, the vortex of five elements became larger and more condensed, and its devouring power became more and more astonishing.

Normally, the Yin body is afraid of lightning and the power of the sun. Logically speaking, all the things that Lu Cheng should be afraid of are present.

However, streaks of lightning flowed throughout his body, and the mighty power of the sun enveloped his figure, but Lu Cheng seemed to be unaffected by them. After more than sixty years of practice, it was not only Chi Jiao who made progress.

"Five Elements Handprint, Qiankun Qi Great Capture, capture it for me!"

He only used his Yin body's spiritual thoughts to control the gathering of heaven and earth's vital energy, but at this moment, the Five Elements Handprint that Lu Cheng made was as heavy as a mountain, as if it were real.

The most terrifying thing is not this. The most terrifying thing is that he controls the changes by his heart. He can make it real if he wants it to be real, or virtual if he wants it to be virtual. Reality and virtuality are up to himself.

"Ok?"

After all, the fifth-level sea crocodile had the advantage of magic power accumulated over thousands of years. It noticed this in time and suddenly burst out with strength. Regardless of the fact that the red dragon was biting its neck and leaving skin and flesh exposed and blood flowing, it turned its body over, wanting Lu Cheng to hit the red dragon's back with all his strength.

However, that Five Elements Handprint suddenly turned from real to virtual, and actually passed directly through the red dragon. Then it turned from virtual to real and hit heavily on the body of the fifth-order sea crocodile. With a loud bang, it directly fell into the deep sea.

Then the Five Elements Handprint retreated, turning from real to virtual and then from virtual to real again, pulling up the red dragon from behind and scooping it into the air.

"Master, chase it and don't let it run away!"

"Don't worry. It will not and cannot run away if its heart is blinded by obsession. Am I only talking about it and not you? You fight hard every time. How many lives do you have to fight for? I don't want to teach a disciple for sixty years, only to have his skin peeled off and his tendons removed, and then take him back to refine magic weapons!"

When the red dragon was young, it was naughty, and Lu Cheng threatened to skin it and take it back to make a magic weapon. This sentence formed a psychological shadow in the red dragon. As soon as Lu Cheng said this, it could calm down from its fanatical mood.

Just as Lu Cheng said, this fifth-level sea crocodile has been practicing for thousands of years and has just seen a dragon with blood that is almost as pure as a fire dragon. How could it retreat easily?
It had already made up its mind to either die here or devour the red dragon to purify its own blood. After taking a short breath in the deep sea to relieve its injuries, it was afraid that Lu Cheng and the red dragon would escape.

He suddenly jumped out of the water, opened his bloody mouth, and spat out an inner elixir surrounded by lightning, the inner elixir of a monster, a fatal blow.

However, the inner core of the demon beast did not attack the red dragon, which was flying in the air like an innate god with red flames all over its body, but shot straight towards Lu Cheng, who was standing beside the red dragon in his Yin form.

At the beginning, the fifth-level sea crocodile thought it was just a servant ghost, similar to the technique of ghost.

Almost every tiger-type monster has magical powers such as the Art of Killing Ghosts. As long as the tiger-type monster is able to hunt down monks, it will devour them clean.

Their instinct is to refine the souls of cultivators, transforming them into ghosts, and even gradually forming a powerful method.

There is a chance that mortals will be transformed into ghosts after being devoured, but the chance is very low. Although sea monsters do not have this kind of innate magical power, it is not a problem for them to learn it if they are interested.

But after a fight, the fifth-level sea crocodile has discovered something wrong. If the technique of the minions could be so terrifying and ferocious, the demon clan might have already been dominated by the tiger demon.

Therefore, its strongest attack was actually directed at Lu Cheng. From this, we can see how much it was afraid of Lu Cheng.

Facing the rapidly flying fifth-level inner elixir, Lu Cheng frowned slightly. The red dragon beside him wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Lu Cheng.

"You stop it and get seriously injured, and then I grab you and run away? Go and attack that sea crocodile with all your strength. The harder you attack, the less pressure I will have."

The transmission of the spiritual consciousness took only a moment, and at the same time, Lu Cheng's Yin body flew up rapidly.

The fifth-level inner elixir wrapped in the lightning also chased after it like lightning.

The Five Elements Handprint stretched out its palm to stop it, and with a bang, the palm that seemed to be solid was pierced directly from the middle, leaving a bloody hole.

The wound did not bleed, only the pure mana that was almost condensed into liquid leaked out. There was no flesh, blood, or bones inside the wound, only the mana energy filled with golden, green, blue, fiery red, or earthy brown.

However, as the electric light spread, the Five Elements Seal did not heal, but gradually disintegrated and returned to this world.

Lu Cheng's Yin body turned into a five-colored sword light, flying in the air, agile and swift.

However, it is not necessarily faster or quicker than lightning.

Sword cultivation, thunder magic, and Taoism have two major methods of killing, and the latter is even more difficult to master than the former. Those who know sword cultivation may not be masters, but those who can perform thunder magic are definitely not weak.

Looking at the lightning bead that was getting closer and closer to him, Lu Cheng frowned slightly: "Faster than me, and I can't dodge it?"

At this time, the red dragon below had followed Master Lu Cheng's orders and launched a fierce attack on the fifth-level sea crocodile.

The red dragon with weaker magic power took the initiative to fly towards the giant deep-sea crocodile. The two collided with each other in mid-air, making a huge roar.

The red dragon flipped in the air, rotated its body and tore the giant crocodile's scales and flesh with its sharp claws, and spit out a stream of flame at the deep-sea crocodile.

The giant deep-sea crocodile rushed forward, attacking against the terrifying breath of the fire dragon. Its huge sharp fangs bit the dragon's body and claws fiercely. Hot blood flowed, igniting and boiling the sea water below.

In the deep sea, many small fish and shrimps swam over frantically, swallowing the spilled blood, whether it was from the red dragon or the deep-sea crocodile. This was an opportunity for them, although it was almost impossible for them to leave alive in the aftermath of this battle.

Boom.

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the sky, accompanied by a loud bang, and clouds spread in all directions.

The red dragon looked up in astonishment, but could no longer sense the breath of his master.

But the fifth-level sea crocodile could still feel the breath of its inner elixir, and it could not help but be filled with ecstasy. But then, it met the dark red eyes of the red dragon. What kind of eyes were those? In the dark red, even a red-gold divine light gradually emerged.

Rage and brutal murderous intent filled his entire body.

"Master!"

The method to improve one's inner demons is to use pain as nourishment to make rapid progress. If you fail, you will die.

The red dragon lowered its head and charged.

The pair of antlers on its head gradually revealed a red-gold luster at this moment, and its dark red mane gradually turned snow-white at this moment. Its red fire scales glowed with divine light, and its claws stretched out like sharp blades to cut into the body of the fifth-order sea crocodile.

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Die quickly! I want to go see my master!"

The red dragon's inner demon cultivation method was never perfected, after all, it was because it was not in enough pain and hatred.

Although he was born to his parents, at this moment, Chi Jiao’s mind was filled with the image of the Taoist holding him in the cave.

It’s the result of careful care and painstaking cultivation, bit by bit, over the past sixty years.

"Father! Father! Father!"

“That’s my father.”

The bloody evil spirit and the Great Sun Divine Force, at this moment, driven by endless anger, merged perfectly into one. With the body of the red dragon as the center, it seemed as if a huge sun rose out of thin air above the sea.

Don't get close to the sun, or you will be burned to ashes.

But the problem for the fifth-level sea crocodile now is that it can't get away. The sun is chasing it, circling around it like crazy.

In the sky a moment ago.

Lu Cheng directly detonated the external lead and mercury pill, and the terrifying mixture of mana and vitality instantly shook the lightning net wrapped around the fifth-level inner pill.

It was at this moment that Lu Cheng, who had hidden behind the fifth-level inner elixir and avoided the impact of the mixed hole, suddenly raised his right hand and pointed his finger out like a sword. A sharp sword energy suddenly burst out, and the sword intent took shape!
When the sword intention becomes powerful, it attacks the mind and directly damages the consciousness.

With Lu Cheng's current magic power, there is no way he can compete with the fifth-level inner elixir. However, this does not mean that he cannot do anything about the spiritual consciousness separated from the fifth-level sea crocodile.

Any spell or magic weapon must be guided by spiritual consciousness. Once the spiritual consciousness collapses, the spell or magic weapon will lose control.

Clang.

As Lu Cheng struck with his sword, the fifth-level inner elixir flickered, and then a sharp light flashed with it as the center, followed by a blazing lightning net that spread out violently.

Although his Yin body had reached the point where it could appear in broad daylight without avoiding the sun through the smelting of the True Fire of the Sun over the years, Lu Cheng still frowned when facing such a fierce thunder tribulation.

But there was no choice. Anyway, I would only lose a spiritual consciousness at most and would not die. However, once this body was dispersed, the coordinates of this world in the Jiuli Cauldron would also disappear. If I wanted to find this world among the myriad worlds in the future, it would depend on my luck.

If someone has superb eyesight and focuses here.

You will find that the Taoist's body has suddenly shrunk into a spinning golden pill in the instant before the thunderstorm explodes. The surface of the golden pill is as smooth as a mirror, and it is translucent and reflects everything.

The Muni Pearl is round and shining.

There is no good and no evil.

Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism are included.

boom……

The thunderstorm, mixed with the chaotic storm of magic energy created by Lu Cheng a moment ago, raged wildly, destroying almost everything within a radius of dozens of miles, although there was nothing in the sky.

Lu Cheng, on the other hand, had completely condensed all his essence, spirit, and energy into a tiny dot in his dantian. This was the result of his sixty years of study and practice of alchemy. As a result, he only sustained a very small amount of impact from the thunderstorm and the chaos hole, and only the golden elixir that was formed was washed away dozens of miles away.

The terrifying magic power wreaked havoc, but it actually condensed the "golden elixir".

Therefore, when he was pushed dozens of miles away, his thoughts relaxed, and Lu Cheng gradually recovered to his original Yin body state, although he felt extremely weak.

But I unexpectedly found myself floating on the surface of the sea, just like a real person. It's not that I'm not a person, but I'm in the state of Yin body now, and I shouldn't be like this, as if I still have a physical body.

"That golden elixir did not disintegrate after being impacted for dozens of miles. It seems that my deduction is correct. I am confident that the elixir will become a second-grade elixir. But how can I ensure that the elixir will become a first-grade elixir, or even a perfect match for me?"

Lu Cheng floated weakly on the sea until he was enveloped by a huge dark shadow.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the red dragon's body getting smaller and smaller.

"Finally found you."

Before Lu Cheng could finish his words, the red dragon had already pounced into his arms. Although its strength had been reduced, it still pushed Lu Cheng's body back slightly.

"...Master, Master. I thought I would never see you again? Master!" It wailed mournfully, not like a dragon. Instead, it sounded like a puppy who mistakenly thought it had been abandoned and suddenly found its owner bringing it to a new home.

"Why are you acting like a spoiled child? You are over sixty years old." Lu Cheng said this with a smile, gently patting the back of the red dragon in his arms.
