Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 271 Ancient Treasure Replica, Seven Absolute Demonic Pillar

There is serious internal competition within the Xuanmo Sect.

The Soul-Devouring Demon Lord of the Xuanmo Sect has unfathomable magical powers. Some say that he is at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while others say that this Demon Lord has already reached the level of a great cultivator.

Therefore, among the three major sects in Cangyun Mountains, Xuanmo Sect was established the shortest and has the weakest foundation, but it came later and surpassed others, and is now quietly becoming the leader of the three sects.

The Soul-Devouring Old Man has always had the ambition to annex the three sects and dominate the Cang Yun Spiritual Vein.

Huang Dao Zhong was vaguely aware of this, so he didn't dare to reveal any flaws in his painstaking efforts over the years, and didn't dare to let the Xuanmo Sect find any loopholes.

He managed the sect so carefully, but perhaps it was because of bad luck, but among the Jindan Zhenren that Huang Dao Zhong supported over the past few hundred years, only his junior brother Liu Hexuan was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. After that, he supported several people and invested resources in them, but in the end, they all lost everything and no one was able to cultivate a Nascent Soul.

This is normal. The cultivation of Yuanying Dao is difficult. The ancient Dao book records that the immortals live for 1,100 years, and only one person can enter the Dao. Even so, it is still extremely difficult and arduous.

So it does not mean that you will get a return if you invest. In fact, it is normal to lose all your money after investing.

However, the Soul-Devouring Old Man of the Xuanmo Sect has helped four of his disciples achieve the Nascent Soul stage over the past few hundred years: Chi Kui, Xuan Mei, Kuang Yun, Xie Lan. Including the new Nascent Soul True Lord Wei Qing of the Xuanmo Sect, there are five of them in total.

It is true that the Tao is declining and the devil is rising, and the luck is at its peak.

Haoran Academy has also developed very well in recent years, with a total of four Yuanying Zhenjuns in charge. In addition, after practicing the Haoran Righteous Qi Jue to a small degree, it has the effect of being invulnerable to water and fire and suppressing evil spirits, so Haoran Academy is not afraid of the Xuanmo Sect. In recent years, it has also eroded the power and interests of Huanyun Valley, forcing Huanyun Valley to turn to Haoran Academy, and it is certain that Huang Daozhong is mature and prudent and will never turn to the Xuanmo Sect.

Putting aside momentary emotions and looking at it rationally, Haoran Academy at least does not have as many magical skills and techniques as the Xuanmo Sect that can be used to refine other people's Nascent Souls and cultivate one's own supernatural powers.

After the two parties joined forces to defeat the Xuanmo Sect, Huanyun Valley at least had a chance to escape unscathed, and both sides could also accumulate some favors.

There are many such examples in the world of immortal cultivation. Three sects are fighting for a spiritual vein. After two of them join forces to destroy one of them, one of them occupies the spiritual vein while the other flees far away. The former develops and prospers, while the latter, after becoming increasingly weak, can seek help and shelter from the former. This kind of thing is common.

This is also one of the ideas in the minds of the monks of Haoran Academy. Another idea is to join forces with Xuanmo Sect to kill Huang Daozhong and Liu Hexuan, the two brothers, and divide the accumulation of Huanyun Valley for thousands of years.

Then, they confronted the Xuanmo Sect and fought for the Cangyun Spiritual Vein.

With Huang Dao Zhong's painstaking mediation, the situation of this struggle was dragged on until the arrival of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, before the sect war. It was the most dangerous time for the entire Huanyun Valley, but Taoist Tiexiao suddenly appeared and interrupted the plans of Xuanmo Sect and Haoran Academy.

After the sect war, the brothers Huang Dao Zhong and Liu He Xuan led the sect's elite to the front line, while Huanyun Valley became stable. Under such circumstances, whoever dared to provoke a major internal fight and pointed flying swords at their own people, the Yuanshen ancestors of the Northern Territory would not sit idly by.

Even the Soul-Eating Old Man would be afraid of being cut down by the flying sword from the sky.

But there may be some small internal fights. Jiang Ji, a disciple of Xuanmo Sect, defected and fled. He was able to escape here alive with Wei Qing's instructions.

Wei Qing was born into the Jindan family of the Xuanmo Sect. Wei's ancestor had an adventure and accidentally obtained a magical weapon, the Seven Absolute Demon Banner, which was a replica of an ancient treasure.

An ancient treasure, the Qijue Wusuo, contains seven sixth-order monsters sealed inside. Once activated, it can harness the power of the monsters, making it extremely powerful and terrifying!
It is the most advanced of the six-tier magic weapons, and a cultivator with it is able to rule the world.

Although the Seven Deadly Demon Banner obtained by the Wei family was not fully functional, it also sealed three sixth-order great demons inside. After being obtained by the Wei ancestor by chance, blood sacrifices were made for many years, and their ferocity was reduced. After Wei Qing cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, he immediately sacrificed and refined this replica of the ancient treasure.

After testing its power, he was confident that even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would have a hard time getting away from the overwhelming power of this treasure.

Under the Soul-Devouring Old Man in the Xuanmo Sect, the four Nascent Soul True Lords, Chi Kui, Xuan Mei, Kuang Yun and Xie Lan, have accumulated power for a hundred years. If Wei Qing wants to show his talents, he must seize such an opportunity.

In fact, when a family reaches a certain status, it must stop and stabilize, but the Wei family has no such experience, and Kuang Yun, Xie Lan and others will never give them any guidance.

After receiving a large sum of money from the Wei family, True Lord Kuangyun also wanted to meet True Lord Tiexiao, whose reputation had suddenly risen. With two against one, and Wei Qing having the Seven Absolute Magic Banner in his hand, he would not be at a disadvantage no matter how hard he tried.

The battle of wits began suddenly.

Wei Qing suddenly had a magic weapon that looked like a yellow bamboo umbrella in his hand. This Seven Deadly Demon Banner could not only harness the power of the big monster inside, but also allow the cultivator to use it to transform his soul. It was extremely powerful.

Wei Qing also knew that the Taoist Tie Xiao in front of him was proficient in swordsmanship, puppetry or incarnation secrets, so he tried his best to suppress him at the first moment.

"Seven Absolute Demon Banners, Mysterious Demon Transformation!"

As the magic formula was incited, the yellow bamboo umbrella opened, and a black light spread out from it. Wei Qing threw himself into it, and when he flew out again, he had transformed into a huge thunder roc, flapping his wings to strike the air.

The dark blue Thunder Peng spread its wings, and the sky was quickly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

The lightning, under the flapping of its wings, whipped the Taoist below like a long whip, with the power of heaven and earth. At the same time, the evil cultivator Kuangyun who was hiding in the dark also made a move.

Two rays of light, one red and one silver, flew out from his left and right sleeves:
The red one is a crystal flying knife. This flying knife is crystal red and dazzling, just like crystal.

The silver one was a short sword. With a slight tremor, the silver sword emitted thousands of illusory lights and its clear singing sounded like a phoenix calling in the sky.

Kuang Yun was the most ferocious and aggressive among the Yuanying True Lords of the Xuanmo Sect, and had profound attainments in both sword and saber. However, this time, before he could actually make a move, a sharp sword energy suddenly rose up into the sky from behind him.

When Kuang Yun's spiritual sense swept over, he saw a flying sword that was tangible and invisible, like colored glass, and it was filled with murderous intent.

"One flying sword? No, two!"

Kuang Yun was very experienced in sword fighting, and he immediately saw through Lu Cheng's sword skills. He sensed and saw the Xuanyin flying sword hidden behind the invisible sword.

However, he still hadn't fully seen through the truth, and treated the invisible sword as a sixth-order flying sword.

This is the concealment of the sword energy of the Xuanyin Flying Sword and the magical effect of the Huanri Technique.

One sword has thousands of illusions, and the real and the fake are interdependent. If the opponent treats the fake moves as real moves, then the party performing the fake moves can restrain the opponent's great mental and magical power at a very small cost.

Lu Cheng's experience in sword fighting was incredibly rich. Having just mastered the Illusion Sun Technique, he knew clearly how to apply this technique to its full potential.

The two swords overlapped, and the sword energy spread out in a fan shape like a waterfall from the sky, falling towards Kuang Yun like countless lightning bolts. Kuang Yun naturally felt horrified that he was the primary and only target of the opponent's all-out attack, so he naturally responded with all his attention.

At the same time on the other side, Lu Cheng's real body escaped, and the ghost baby puppet transformed into his own image and waved the magic flag.

Suddenly, a yellowish-brown spiritual light enveloped the sky, and from it, a golden giant ape emerged, beating its chest with both hands and roaring toward the sky:
The Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape transforms into an ancient earth-walking monster. It looks up at the sun and wants to swallow it!

Before it was promoted to a sixth-rank intermediate-grade magic weapon, whenever the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was waved, black light would shoot up into the sky and demonic energy would surge. But now, the Demonic Banner seemed to have lost all its ferocity, and instead exuded a pure, elegant, elusive, and unpredictable aura.

This is not to say that the magic banner has really turned from evil to Taoism. How could such a thing be so easy in this world? Rather, after taking Kong Yourong as the main soul of the magic banner, the spirituality of the magic banner has greatly increased, and it has the ability to obscure the way of heaven, confuse yin and yang, and reverse good and evil.

This change also fits the character of the demon Kong Yourong.

Huge blue and white lightning whips struck into the light gas below.

All of them were defeated by the punches of Lu Cheng who had transformed into the Sun-Swallowing Fire Ape. These lightning bolts were indeed extremely powerful. Lu Cheng practiced both magic and body and had profound magical powers. He used the earth-based Sun-Swallowing Fire Ape to deal with Lei Peng's thunder magic and was by no means restrained.

However, every lightning whip or lightning ball hit the Sun-Swallowing Fire Ape, which was the incarnation of Lu Cheng, causing its bones and muscles to break and blood to splatter.

But even so, Lu Cheng still showed his ferocious nature. He would rush to a distance from time to time, pick up rocks and throw them at the Thunder Peng, killing it.

The most important point is that under the cover of the Magic Banner, things in the world are confusing yin and yang, and good and bad luck are hard to predict. Wei Qing, who has transformed into a thunder roc in the sky, cannot see that Lu Cheng is injured or damaged at all. From his perspective, he has consumed a lot of magic power, but the terrible giant ape below has only been beaten to the point where its fur has turned black, but it is still alive and kicking, and is fighting back fiercely.

"What's going on? This Seven Absolute Demon Banner consumes so much mana, but it seems to have little power."

Wei Qing frowned secretly in his heart. He had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago. His consciousness and magic power were the weakest in this stage. It was simply too much for him to control a sixth-order middle-grade magic weapon like the Seven Absolute Magic Banner to attack for a long time.

Therefore, Wei Qing quickly began to activate the second level of transformation of the Seven Absolute Demon Banner, determined to quickly capture Taoist Tiexiao, add glory to his own family, and attract the attention and support of the Demon Lord.

"Change!"

The spell that Wei Qing was chanting quickly stopped and then turned into another magic spell.

Amid the spread of black light, Lei Peng disappeared, and his entire body quickly turned into a fire dragon that shook its head and tail and roared towards the sky.

As his body expanded and rolled, he actually hid in the clouds, madly inhaling the thunderclouds around him, using the combination of thunder and fire to increase his own magic power.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a terrifying dragon roar, a mighty fiery red dragon swooped down.

Everyone knows that although the Jiaolong is a branch of the dragon and its status is inferior to that of the real dragon, it is brutal and difficult to control, and its ferocity in close combat is almost as fierce as that of the real dragon.
