Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 245: Yinshan Disaster
The realm of Jindan Zhenren, in Buddhism, means that one has already achieved the fruition. Although it has not yet reached the state of no retreat or reduction, it is already a very high achievement in practice.

Lu Cheng was secretly shocked by the fate and destiny, which he found unbelievable.

The eight or nine caves of the True Dao Pill in his body began to turn slightly, because what he was practicing was to cultivate his own three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, to wield a breath of Samadhi fire, and to cultivate the path of Vajra Indestructible Body. The destiny and the Yi numbers can be learned, but one must not be obsessed with them.

Otherwise, in the most serious cases, there may even be a danger of the golden elixir disintegrating.

However, Lu Cheng only had a slight emotion and was far from questioning his own path of cultivation. He always believed that no matter what time it was, his own magical power level was the greatest confidence, rather than the illusory theory of fate that could affect the overall situation.

You can study the Tianming Yishu, but you cannot rely on it.

Half a month later, siblings Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun and Luo Peifang arrived at the Yellow Springs Cave together.

Seeing that the qi and meridians here were cut off and it had become a dead end, they looked at each other in confusion, wondering if they had come to the wrong place.

Fortunately, at this time, Situ Hua and Miao Chuyun flew out together and said politely:
"Three seniors, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in quickly."

Only then did the Chen siblings and Luo Peifang realize that they had found the right place.

As soon as he entered the underground cave, Chen Qingfeng couldn't help but say:
"Wood generates fire, which is a drain, and metal overcomes wood, which is killing. You, master and disciple, really don't know how to be sensible. This place is not only a place where yin and yang clash, but also a place where the five elements punish and kill. Is it really okay to live here for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Hua and Miao Chuyun didn't know how to respond for a moment. Their magical powers were even higher than Chen Qingfeng and the others, but when it came to formations, there had been few people in the Guizang Mountain lineage who were proficient in them since Huang Longzi. If Lu Cheng wasn't proficient in it, naturally they wouldn't be proficient in it either.

Fortunately, Chen Qingfeng only said this and did not continue. The group of five went into the depths of the Yellow Springs Valley together.

Taoist Lu Cheng was seen standing under a giant tree with lush branches and leaves. Climbing on the tree was a golden and red dragon. Although its eyes were closed, it still had an intimidating aura.

"Qingfeng, you are proficient in Fengshui formations and can tell that this place is a place of punishment and killing of the five elements, but you don't know how to change the situation according to the person. My position of 'wood generates fire to release, and metal overcomes wood to kill' is actually a good thing here."

Lu Cheng said this while pointing at the giant tree Canglong and a golden branch grafted on the tree, and said with a smile.

Time passes like water, and old friends die one after another.

After coming to this world, many people I knew have passed away, and now it is Chen Qingfeng's turn. Lu Cheng today is as young and brilliant as he was more than a hundred years ago, while Chen Qingfeng is already an old Taoist with white hair like snow.

Looking back, it seems like just yesterday when the three of them killed the four Ishihara clans and established the Chixin Temple to benefit the local people. But in fact, that was already more than a hundred years ago.

"Stay here for a few more days. I have something for you to do next. Although it may be a little dangerous, it is a destiny, and the benefits far outweigh the dangers."

The relationship between the two parties means that Lu Cheng doesn't need to say too much about other things.

Chen Qingfeng and the others did not ask what it was about, but they believed that Lu Cheng would never harm them.

Among the three, Chen Qingfeng's life span is already short, but Chen Qingyun and Luo Peifang still have a long way to go. He understood Lu Cheng's meaning in an instant:
Do this great thing, and after you die, the two of them will benefit greatly from it, and it will be a great success in their future.

After understanding this, Chen Qingfeng has secretly decided that even at the risk of his own death, he will help Chen Qingyun and Luo Peifang accomplish this task.

"Just think of it as helping Qingyun again. Just think of it as repaying her for her lifetime of waiting."

On the other side is Moyun Cave in Yinshan Mountain in the southern wilderness.

Tian Xinzi, who had already mastered the art of inner alchemy, flew back to the mountain gate. After seeing him, all the fellow disciples of the Yinshan lineage seemed to have found a backbone and kept crying all the way.

In the Yinshan lineage, apart from Yinshan Zhenren, the only eldest disciple, Tian Xinzi, has cultivated the fourth-grade Tianjue Golden Scorpion Pill, and is able to use this poisonous pill to attack people without fail.

After he cultivated the inner elixir and left Yinshan to start his own school, he gained a great reputation.

In fact, after receiving the talisman from his master Yinshan Zhenren this time, Tian Xinzi himself did not want to come back. He already knew that his third junior brother Bai Luzi, who was on good terms with him, had his heart cut out and eaten by his master.

After the battle on the coast of the East China Sea, the master's inner demon was lost and he would go crazy from time to time. If it weren't for the endless poisonous insects and millions of demon soldiers surrounding the Yinshan Dharma Vein, he would have been unable to escape and this Demon Mountain would have been deserted long ago.

Arriving in front of the Moyun Cave in Yinshan Mountain, Tian Xinzi could not help but sigh softly. Once upon a time, he had imagined that under the leadership of his master, the whole sect would work together to make the Gushen Sect a truly great sect of the devil. But now it seems that it has been scattered. Before returning this time, Tian Xinzi had already established contact with the monks of the Heavenly Demon Palace. If he could lead his master to join the Heavenly Demon Palace, he could also become an elder of the Demon Palace and create his own world in the Demon Palace, enjoying endless pleasures of fine wine and beautiful women.

On the other hand, Tian Xinzi also coveted the secret Taoist methods that his master, Yinshan Zhenren, had passed down:
The Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, the Seven Killings Gu, the Yuan Pin Pearl's Second Yuan Shen Secret Technique, these are the fundamental reasons why Yinshan Zhenren's elixir has reached the third level and yet he is able to dominate the world.

If he had not been so evil-minded and insisted on going to the East China Sea to block the path of Master Huang Longzi, he would still be the number one demon cultivator in Southern Xinjiang, claiming to be the founder of a sect and enjoying endless pleasure.

After spending his entire life cultivating the Heavenly Absolute Golden Scorpion Pill, Tian Xinzi finally realized that his talent was far inferior to that of his master. If he relied on self-realization, he might never reach the level of his master in his lifetime. Therefore, even though he risked great danger this time, he still returned to Moyun Cave, for his master and for himself.

"Disciple Tian Xinzi pays homage to Master."

When Tian Xinzi met Yinshan Zhenren again, he found that there were only a few familiar faces standing next to his master.

He felt a chill in his heart and immediately bowed down and kowtowed repeatedly.

In the demonic world, the courtesy shown by low-level cultivators to their teachers and elders is quite righteous, but it is not known how much sincerity there is in it.

"Well, you're back. This time our sect encountered a great disaster, but you still knew to return. It's worth my teaching you."

"Master's kindness to Tian Xinzi is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth. Even if he risks his life for Master, Tian Xinzi will have no regrets."

"Hehe, you don't have to risk your life. I have mobilized millions of demon soldiers. When Huang Longzi and the Great Sage Huo Lin arrive, all the demon soldiers will be mobilized, and the sky will collapse and the earth will crack. At that time, at worst, we will fight to the death, but I will never let them have an easy time!"

Yinshan Zhenren's spirit was sometimes good and sometimes bad. At this moment, he became excited, and his eyes shone with a miserable green light, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey.

Hearing that his master had already mobilized a million demon soldiers, Tian Xinzi felt a chill in his heart. The so-called million demon soldiers referred to a large number of poisonous insects headed by the golden silkworm Gu. Some of them had already achieved great success, but all of them were controlled by Yinshan Zhenren's Gu magic and obeyed his orders.

This is the greatest asset that allows Yinshan Zhenren to stand on equal footing with all the Taoist and demonic sects in the world. With millions of demon soldiers assembled, who in the world can resist them?

Even the True Lord Huang Longzi would have to stay away from the limelight for a while.

However, most of these millions of poisonous insects are in a dormant state on weekdays, and they wake up in batches according to a certain pattern to catch and eat, so Southern Xinjiang can still bear it. But now that they have all awakened, if the foreign enemies knew that there is actually no need to attack, it won’t be long before the entire Southern Xinjiang will be eaten by these poisonous insects.

Either continue to advance southwards, triggering an endless tide of beasts, or march northwards, invading the heartland of the Central Plains and devouring all living things.

This is probably what Yinshan Zhenren was thinking in his heart. What does it matter if he fights to the death and kills countless lives?
Even if he lives a life of luxury, he must die heroically, and he must take Huang Longzi and Huolin with him to be buried with him.

"Master's power is comparable to that of nature, and he is omnipotent. However, we cultivators value life more than death, and what we cultivate is ultimately the art of immortality. I have found a few good friends and have talked them into the relationship with the Dongyang Orthodox Church..."

Before Tian Xinzi could finish his words, he saw a green light flash in Yinshan Zhenren's eyes, which showed a vicious murderous intent directed at him. For a moment, he could not continue speaking.

"Go on, go on. Didn't you say that you have connections and want to lead me to the Heavenly Demon Palace to seek blessings?"

"...Yes, yes. Master, True Lord Huang Longzi and that Huo Lin are very powerful. You should take back 200,000 or 300,000 demon soldiers and follow me to the Heavenly Demon Palace. The rest will be left here. Those hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers are entangled with Huang Longzi and Huo Lin. They dare not ignore them. When you arrive at the Heavenly Demon Palace, with your status and cultivation, it will be easy for you to become an elder. You may even become the Great Elder of the Demon Palace, and be on an equal footing with the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace. When you have mastered the supreme magic in the holy book, it will not be too late to return and settle old scores with these enemies!"

The reason why Tian Xinzi dared to come back was because he felt that his explanation was flawless and was the best choice for Yinshan Zhenren.

But he had missed one thing in his calculations, which was that Yinshan Zhenren had gone crazy at this time.

Just as he finished saying this, he saw black clouds rolling and surging in front of him. It turned out that the old demon had already pounced on him. Tian Xinzi was about to mobilize his magic power to fight back, but the energy in his chest was choked. The next moment, he was knocked down by Yinshan Zhenren, who pulled open his ribs, took out his heart and ate it.

"Good disciple, don't you want to learn my magic formula? I will now teach you another of my secret techniques, the Blood Feeding Technique. As long as you swallow enough high-quality blood essence, you can quickly recover from internal injuries. As for the path you mentioned, it's not bad either. After I defeat Huang Longzi and Fire Scale Great Sage, I may have to follow this path you mentioned."

Tian Xinzi could no longer hear what Yinshan Zhenren said next, because his eyes were quickly enveloped by darkness, and he died.

"You have seen it too. Tian Xinzi colluded with the Heavenly Demon Palace to murder me, and now I have killed him. If any of you dare to do the same in the future, you will suffer the same fate."

The disciples all knelt down, not daring to look directly at him. But at this moment, boom, the entire Yinshan Mountain suddenly shook violently.
