Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 302: Advancing to the Sixth Level of the Golden Core Realm, Alien Demons from Outer Space
In the boundless void of the universe, a huge and ancient golden boat is sailing slowly but actually quickly.

The golden hull sparkled brightly under the reflection of the stars, as if it was a raft of light that could cross the endless sea of ​​suffering.

On the giant golden boat, the Buddha statues are solemn and the sound of Sanskrit is lingering. Each Buddha statue appears compassionate and peaceful, as if it can comfort the restlessness and anxiety deep in people's hearts.

Standing on the bow of the golden boat was a young Taoist in Taoist robes. Of course, it was very likely that he just looked young, but in fact he was already an old monster over two hundred years old.

In the world of cultivating immortals, lower-level cultivators often call Nascent Soul cultivators other than their own ancestors "old monsters". This is actually because the minds of higher-level cultivators are as fast as lightning, and they will not easily associate with lower-level cultivators. Their actions also seem strange and bizarre in the eyes of lower-level cultivators.

Lu Cheng had a sharp gaze, holding a Taoist scripture in his hand, and under the protection of the golden boat's magic barrier, he looked around the universe.

In the far distance, there are occasional meteors passing by, leaving behind brilliant silver trails. They can be seen, but it is unknown how many years it will take to fly past them.

All around the golden boat, the void was flowing, the stars were swirling, and endless stars were like crystals dotted on black silk. They were quietly twinkling, reflecting the Buddha's light above the golden boat.

From time to time, strange cosmic phenomena occurred all around, with cracks in the void and changes in nebulae, but all of this seemed to become peaceful and tranquil under the protection of the Buddha's light of the Golden Boat.

Compared to many years ago, when he relied solely on his spiritual stone reserves to cross the void, Lu Cheng now has Nascent Soul-level mana to drive him, and his control is ten times greater than before.

"There are countless resources in this starry universe, but there are also countless dangers hidden. It is actually quite dangerous to cross the void with my magic power. If there is no sophisticated method of calculation to reduce the risk, it should not be done lightly."

Lu Cheng is good at sword fighting and martial arts. When he looked at the meteor shower from afar just now, Lu Cheng felt a sense of murder and fighting. Although he didn't know what it was specifically, it must represent fighting and killing.

With his current magical powers, he is too fragile in this universe.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng turned around and returned to the Du'e Golden Boat, where he began to comprehend Taoist books and cultivate his magic power.

Time passed like this day after day. Because I could train the two ghost babies to practice swordsmanship, I could drink wine, talk and discuss Taoism with the white-clothed tree demon, and I could practice Taoism. So although time was long, I didn't feel lonely.

On this day, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged in a deep and quiet meditation room, beside a green lamp and an ancient Buddha. Wisps of incense rose from a purple furnace, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of tranquility.

He took out the pill bottle and poured out the pills. The sixth-grade elixir, Bihuaqinglingdan, in his hand exuded a faint luster, like pearls, jade, gold and stone.

Monks take elixirs to cultivate their magic power, and the effect is far more efficient than the hard work of meditating and practicing qi. Unfortunately, although elixirs are good, they are poisonous. If you take them without restraint, although they can benefit you temporarily, they will be harmful in the long run.

But even so, high-level elixirs that can be used to increase mana are hard to come by.

If Lu Cheng had not participated in the war between cultivators in the southern and northern regions, he would not have been able to exchange for such a spiritual object in the treasure hall of Cangyun Island.

Since he decided to return to Tongxuan World, all the good deeds he had accumulated on Cangyun Island were naturally used up. However, considering the great achievements he had made, he had also exchanged for a lot of spiritual objects.

The Bihua Qingling Pill has a strong poison effect, but Lu Cheng's magic power increases very little after taking the pill, and he has cultivated innate true fire, so he is not worried about this.

As the pill entered his mouth, a stream of pure and clear spiritual energy flowed into his meridians like a trickle. Lu Cheng could clearly feel this spiritual energy flowing through his body. Every meridian seemed to be cleansed and became more unobstructed.

His breathing gradually became long and deep, and with every breath he took, the spiritual energy from the outside world was drawn in, forming an imperceptible cyclone surrounding his body.

The temperature in the training room seemed to fluctuate as well, as if an invisible force was brewing within it.

As time went by, the spiritual energy emanating from the Bihua Qingling Pill became stronger and stronger, and Lu Cheng's aura became more and more powerful.

Finally, after a long period of accumulation, the magic power in Lu Cheng's body broke through the original barriers and entered a new route of practice.

If you look at the lines on your palm, they are all in your heart.

However, at this moment, the scene around Lu Cheng suddenly distorted and changed, and he suddenly came to a forest from the meditation room of Du'e Jinzhou.

An extremely tall and heroic female cultivator in a golden robe was already waiting there with her hands behind her back.

"You really chose to return to that world!"

"You should know me. I look forward to the wonderful world after achieving immortality. As long as I can keep living, I will always encounter interesting things. But immortality will not be my cage."

Lu Cheng pressed down his hands to calm down the magic power system that had just been promoted to the sixth level of the Golden Core, raised his head and looked at Jin Ling, or in other words:

Golden-winged Dapeng Wang.

"You have no idea what you are facing. How dare a mere cultivator who has practiced Taoism for only two hundred years talk about immortality and cages?"

He suddenly turned around, his face was as delicate as snow, and his originally dark eyes now shone with a ferocious dark gold. He looked heroic, with sword-like eyebrows like knives, which aroused endless sharpness and heroism.

"How much have you recovered, or how many of your clones have been killed?"

The Taoist's sudden words were like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, catching Jin Ling off guard.

"……what are you saying?"

"You mentioned the Ten-Day God-Splitting Curse to me once before. Later, based on your symptoms, I looked up the classics and gradually understood it."

For a period of time, Lu Cheng and Jin Ling had been getting along quite harmoniously. However, after a while, when Lu Cheng found Jin Ling again, he was suppressed by her cold words, and the relationship between the two sides reached freezing point.

Lu Cheng originally wanted to fuse the true blood of the Golden-Winged Roc with the third transformation of the Five Elements Transformation, but because the relationship between the two sides suddenly deteriorated, it ended up in nothing.

Later, as Lu Cheng cultivated a ghost baby incarnation, made friends with Nascent Soul cultivators, and was able to read the classics of many sects, he had a vague guess in his mind. Now, after trying it, Jin Ling's reaction confirmed what Lu Cheng had thought.

"It turns out that the Ten-Day God-Splitting Curse can split the recipient's soul and body into ten parts, knocking them down to a higher realm and breaking them apart. This method is simply incredible! Is this the method of the demon god?"

Originally, what Lu Cheng collected into the Jiuli Ding was only one-tenth of a golden spirit, and it was an extremely weak one among them, so the two of them could discuss swords, make friends, and even develop a deep friendship.

But with the death of the other nine clones in the outside world, the memories of the other clones continued to flow into Jin Ling's body, accompanied by great fear of death.

As a result, the relationship between Lu Cheng and Jin Ling deteriorated sharply, because Jin Ling was almost a different person compared to before.

"You don't know how terrifying Shengyang and the Five Elements are. The twenty-four demon gods divide the two worlds and each has their own demon kingdom. So many human Yuanshen cultivators in this star field respect and fear them. Your Tongxuan Realm is just a piece of their spiritual field, and it's not even the largest one among them..."

After saying this, Jin Ling waved her hand violently, and Lu Cheng suddenly disappeared in a golden light, and was driven out of the Jiuli Ding by her.

In the quiet room, in front of the Buddha statue.

The Taoist slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "How could I not know that Emperor Dongyang, the Taoist of the Five Elements, can dominate the universe with his demon cultivation body, and no one dares to offend him. He protects a demon country. I'm afraid that ordinary Yuanshen realms are far from being able to do that."

After saying this, Lu Cheng closed his eyes and meditated again, regulating his breathing and body and mind.

The place where the sun rises, the extreme of the sun, is called the East; it shines upon all people and illuminates the heavens, and is called the Yang! The two words Dongyang refer to the Great Sun and the Golden Crow.

The Bodhisattva Cundi was born in the Western Paradise, and his moral roots are profound and immeasurable.

The main lotus leaf has the color of dust, and the lotus stands on the bridge without rain.

Know that golden bows and silver spears are not enough to prevent danger, and that precious pestles and fish intestines have other uses.

It is said in ancient times that Kong Xuan was able to transform himself, and was called the Ming Wang under the Posa tree.

The five colors of blue, yellow, red, white and black also refer to the five elements. The master of the five elements is the innate five elements peacock.

Among the twenty-four demon gods, there are strong ones and weak ones, but these two alone are so strong that it makes people's scalps numb, no matter their background or magic power. With these two around, no human soul cultivator would dare to start a war easily and take back the former Chiyang and Qingming worlds at the cost of the death of more than a dozen human soul cultivators. In fact, even if more than a dozen soul cultivators died, they might not get what they wanted.

Among the nine domains, the human race occupies the seven worlds of Dingzhang, Tongtian, Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing and Yinyang. The demon race occupies the former Chiyang and Qingming domains. Time is on the side of the human race. With the population resources of the seven domains, one day they will be able to accumulate enough strength.

……

On this day, Lu Cheng was meditating and practicing in the golden boat, when suddenly, he felt the boat shaking violently.

Lu Cheng slapped the ground with his palm, and the whole person turned into a beam of light, flew out suddenly, and landed on the deck.

Before, the two ghost babies were controlling the boat and playing on the deck, and at this time they quickly gathered around Lu Cheng.

"Master, Master, those strange fish are biting our boat!"

Among the two ghost babies, the eldest ghost baby has been apprentice for a longer time, and the second ghost baby is closer to Lu Cheng, but this child is lazy and cunning when practicing sword. On the contrary, the eldest ghost baby is better at swordsmanship.

People who practice swordsmanship should have some viciousness and violence in their hearts.

The eldest ghost baby had seven points, but the second ghost baby had some deficiencies. After hearing the second ghost baby's words, Taoist Lu Cheng looked around and saw that in the vast void of the universe, many strange fish with fish heads but octopus bodies appeared on all sides of the golden boat. They could actually survive and swim freely in the void of the universe.

They are extremely ferocious in nature, and at this moment they gather together to bite the Du'e Golden Boat madly.

This golden boat was used by the monks and believers of Tianfo Sect to escape in the past. The magic ban was quite fierce, and with every roll and press of golden light, large groups of strange fish in the universe were crushed into blood foam and evaporated and burned in an instant.

However, this group of strange fish seemed to have no intelligence and were not afraid of life or death. They attacked more frantically and gathered together to bite the golden boat.

"Is this the Dark Sky Realm?"

Lu Cheng did not have a star map, but simply crossed the void according to the coordinates on the Du'e Golden Boat. In other words, he knew where the target location was, but he had no idea where he would pass through or what he would encounter there. He spent most of his time practicing Taoism in the quiet room of the Golden Boat.

He had no interest in drawing star maps until he was attacked.

The reason why Lu Cheng said this was the dark sky was because the golden boat was surrounded by pitch black darkness, without even a big star that could emit light.

The Du'e Golden Boat was actually very close to a planet at this time, but the planet was dead silent. Even Lu Cheng, watching it from afar, felt uneasy.

"A kind of extraterritorial demon?"

Taoist books record all kinds of demons from outside the realm, but most of them are bloodthirsty and cruel. They take it as their mission to attack and destroy everything, and seem to have no intelligence.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng used the magic power of the two ghost babies and sacrificed the sixth-level intermediate magic treasure, the Magic Banner. This magic treasure was most suitable for this kind of scene. The evil spirits and fierce ghosts suddenly jumped out of the banner, devouring everything and satisfying their own nature.

All of a sudden, a three-foot-long flag appeared in the void in front of the golden boat. The flag emitted dark red Yin Fire flames, which spread out and made screams like ghosts crying and gods howling, and it fought and attacked thousands of extraterritorial demons.

"Haha, great, Master, you have a great method, using magic to defeat magic. If you can refine all these extraterritorial demons, it may greatly increase the power of the Magic Magic Banner!"

The two ghost babies clapped their hands and laughed. Even the eldest ghost baby showed joy in his eyes. After all, he was the one who used the Magic Banner most of the time.

But the two saw that their master did not smile, but turned sideways to look at the big star below.

The two ghost babies followed Lu Cheng's gaze and saw that inside the big star below, a dark shadow was suddenly expanding. Although it was not obvious, the two babies were still able to notice and sense it with their magic power.

There was a glimmer of fire in Lu Cheng's eyes, and he had already activated his Fire Pupil and Golden Eyes.

Suddenly, in front of the big star, a huge shadow that looked like a human but was not a human appeared:

It is probably human-shaped, but extremely huge. From Lucheng, it is almost as big as the entire big star behind it. It looks like a strong middle-aged man with four tentacled arms, strong chest and abdominal muscles, and legs similar to those of an octopus. It is normal from the thighs to the bare feet, but it keeps splitting apart after the bare feet.

It has no mouth or nose, but it has a pair of eyes with a faint red glow, which are now staring at Lu Cheng and his golden boat.

"The aura is very strong, almost stronger than Wei Shuyi and Ming Yuchen. A demon in the Yuanshen realm? But the sense of oppression is not that strong. It is probably similar to the feeling Ren Qianqiu gave me, with strong magic power but weak supernatural powers?"

At this moment, the shadow suddenly swung his arm and waved his hand, and a sense of oppression that was a hundred times stronger than that of the strange fish around it came over.

Lu Cheng immediately controlled the ghost baby incarnation and unsheathed the flying sword.

At the same time, a vortex of golden light appeared in the void outside the golden boat, and a tree demon in white walked out of it. A great demon at this level could move freely in the void of the universe without any damage for a short period of time.

At this moment, she stretched out her hand and pointed towards the void, and the tentacle that came from nowhere as fiercely as if it was a flying attack from Mount Tianshan suddenly split in the middle. What's more, each tentacle seemed to be endowed with its own life. They refused to give in to each other, pulled each other, attacked each other, and were greatly weakened.

After pointing a finger, the white-clothed tree demon spit out a stream of green energy downwards.

This vital energy penetrated into the seemingly endless school of strange fish, and continued to swim like a dragon, devouring the vital energy of these strange fish.

They quickly shrivel, wither and break.

In a very short period of time, the green energy quickly multiplied into several streams, and was then swallowed back into the mouth and nose of the white-clothed tree demon.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, killing these strange demons will not only not harm your cultivation, but it seems to be beneficial to your virtue. Kill as many as you can, and kill all of them."

"good."

After saying this, the golden vortex beside the white-clothed tree demon began to spin, and she walked back into the world inside the cauldron.

Lu Cheng, on the other hand, controlled the sixth-order, mid-grade Evil Cloud Flying Sword. The sword light circled and suddenly turned into a thread, giving a fierce blow to the tentacles that continued to strike down.

The tentacle that was hit by the white-clothed tree demon's full-strength finger had shrunk to one-tenth of its original size. At this moment, with the sword refined into silk, it was cut off with one sword and was brought back by Lu Cheng's sword light.

"Roar!"

There is no medium for sound transmission in the void.

However, the roar of the alien demon still caused Lu Cheng and the ghost baby to see strange visions, as if it was the end of the world and everything was destroyed.

The Du'e Golden Boat was flying forward all the time. The demon woke up a little too late. The two sides only exchanged one move before the Du'e Golden Boat gradually left the range of the big star and left the dark sky.

Looking at the tentacles that were cut off and wrapped around the golden boat, still twisting and thrashing on the deck, Lu Cheng quickly waved his sleeves and took out several sealing talismans and pressed them one by one to suppress them.

Then he took out a white jade porcelain bottle, poured out a stream of spiritual light, put it in, and completed the sealing of the town.

"There is such a good thing in the void outside the sky. It clearly has the magic power of the Yuanshen realm, but its magical power is incredibly weak. If we can hunt it down and bring it back, can't it be used as the main material for refining a seventh-level magic weapon?"

Lu Cheng had obtained many items during his many years in the Dingzhang World. The sixth-rank intermediate-grade Evil Cloud Flying Sword and the white jade magic porcelain bottle were magic weapons found in the Qiankun bags of Mingkong Taoist and Han Sujin respectively.

The Xieyun Flying Sword, like the Xuanyin Flying Sword, is also suitable for use by the ghost infant incarnation. The white jade magic porcelain bottle has the power to seal and purify. It was originally intended to be given to the two Taoist companions, but now it cannot be given away for the time being.

"This is the limb of an alien demon from outer space. It's best to destroy it. Outside the nine worlds, there are also some worlds with shallow spiritual energy in this star field, where living beings are accidentally born. The world is not big and the population is not large. The development of a population of about 10 billion is the limit. In addition, the spiritual energy is shallow, so we and your human race's Yuanshen cultivators are unwilling to manage it.

But there are also some monks who will flee to those worlds to avoid their enemies and live out the rest of their lives.”

"In this kind of world where life and death happen at will, some people in the primitive civilization stage will believe in evil gods and constantly perform blood sacrifices. If the time is long enough and the number of blood sacrifices is large enough, this kind of demon will be born. They will exterminate all the creatures in the world and even replace the way of heaven. But just like the one you met, because of the lack of civilization and wisdom, even if it has practiced instinctively for hundreds of millions of years, it still suffered under your sword and wasted its immortality."

In the Jiuli world, Jin Ling said this as he looked at the tentacle in front of him that was covered with several talismans and looked like a mummy.

She has practiced for ten thousand years, and the sky and the void are not limited by her, so she naturally knows a lot. In fact, as the ten clones become fewer and fewer, her memory will increase, and finally the ten will merge into one, turning into the golden-winged Roc of the past, but the magic power accumulated over ten thousand years is only one tenth of it, this is the power of the Ten-Day God-Splitting Curse.

"Can it be used to refine pills or flying swords? After all, it's a seventh-rank demon." Lu Cheng came to find Jin Ling specifically for this purpose, and didn't want to waste the materials in vain.

“I’m neither an alchemist nor a weapon refiner, but I think it’s best not to. The alien demons have strengths and weaknesses. For example, if it succeeds in swallowing you, it can obtain some of your knowledge and memory. What they have in common is that their vitality is abnormally strong.

If you refine it into a flying sword in the Tongxuan World, the power of the flying sword may be enhanced, but it may also cause induction between it and the alien demon. Your swordsmanship is not weak, but there are not many people in the Tongxuan World who have your swordsmanship, right?"

Jin Ling's mood today is relatively stable. He seems to have realized that his life and death is in the hands of the other party, and he has no ability to stop the other party from returning to the Tongxuan world.

The reason why Jin Ling was so opposed before was that she was afraid that Lu Cheng would die in Tongxuan World and the Jiuli Ding would perish with him, or even worse, the treasure would fall into the hands of the twenty-four demon gods. Now that returning to Tongxuan World was a foregone conclusion, there was no need for her to bother about it any more.

"..."

Jin Ling explained it very clearly, but Lu Cheng looked at the remains of the alien demon, thought about it, and put it away.

"You think that if you can't save the Tongxuan Realm, you can divert the disaster to the east, at least to make them upset for a while?"

"... After all, it is a seventh-level treasure. At most, we can add some more seals for protection. It may be useful in the future."

During the flying year after year, whenever the flying power of the Du'e Golden Boat accumulated to a certain level, it would travel through the void. Although there was no star map, through constant calculations, Lu Cheng still knew that he was getting closer and closer to the Tongxuan Realm.

Even Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel some fear in his heart. He was afraid that his teacher Chi Shenzi, his master Huang Longzi, and the master of the Eight Views Observation Depot, Qing Xuan Zhenren, had failed in their collaboration and plan, and the Tong Xuan Realm had been destroyed by the great catastrophe of the millennium.

From Jin Ling, we learned that the so-called great catastrophe of thousands of years was just a figment of our imagination. The twenty-four demon gods were divided and managed many broken small worlds. When the "seeds" were ripe, they would go to harvest them. It could happen earlier or later.

For Master and the others, these unpredictable variables are dangerous.

"If this world is destroyed, Lu will swear a blood oath that I will never ascend to heaven until I kill all twenty-four monsters in this lifetime."

Turning the fear in his heart into murderous intent and condensing it on the three-foot sword edge, Lu Cheng controlled the Du'e Golden Boat to continuously accelerate and once again escaped into the void to teleport.

The huge golden boat kept sneaking into the demon god's spiritual field. Perhaps, to those high and mighty beings, the current Taoist named Lu was like a bug.
