Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 360: Wives, Concubines, and Disciples, the Gold-Eating Fire Ants

In the vast dark universe, a golden ship is sailing alone.

The golden hull of the ship sparkled brightly under the reflection of the galaxy, as if it was a raft of light that could cross the boundless 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 deep in people's hearts.

It is like a bright meteor, cutting through the silent night sky and flying towards the distant foreign world.

The flickering light on the golden boat was like pieces of golden scales, reflecting the surrounding sea of ​​stars, like a golden river flowing slowly in the void.

Within the barrier of the giant golden boat, teams of monks from the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace dressed in Taoist robes were busy at work.

Occasionally they would gaze at the sea of ​​stars outside, or carefully record various situations. Every subtle movement revealed their anticipation and nervousness about the upcoming unknown world.

Deeper in the Du'e Golden Boat were Taoist Lu Cheng, his two wives, two concubines, and several younger fellow disciples.

In the Tongxuan Realm, the demon corpse has been suppressed and the Heavenly Demon Boy has been subdued. Lu Cheng will certainly not stay in the Tongxuan Realm for long. Although there are many treasures in the many outer sea caves of the Tongxuan Realm, they are no longer suitable for the Heavenly and Earthly Demon Palace at this time.

The four essentials for cultivation are the law, the earth, the companions, the wealth. In terms of the cultivation method, the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace already has a good foundation. Next, it is time to work hard on the land, the companions, the wealth and one's own spiritual practice.

"Big Brother, Second Sister. We are fellow disciples with a master-disciple relationship, but this trip to the Fiery Realm is also for the opportunity for you two to seek the truth. To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's just call each other fellow disciples."

Lu Cheng sat on the futon and said this to his senior brother Yuwen Zheng and second senior sister Wu Lingjun.

There is a clear master-disciple relationship between the three. Even if Lu Cheng achieves Nascent Soul stage first, these two are still his senior brother and sister.

But now we are heading to the Fiery Realm, and a simple name may reveal many problems.

"I dare not, I dare not, Master, that's not true. Lingjun and I will follow Master's lead on this trip to the foreign land."

Yuwen Zheng bowed and said this.

Huang Longzi still felt sorry for his eldest and second disciples. Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun's magic power had already been cultivated to the late golden elixir stage. It was time for them to come out to look for spiritual objects for refining infants and secret treasures for overcoming tribulations.

Otherwise, for the cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm, it would be too difficult to overcome the tribulation, with one risk of death.

On the other hand, two experienced and powerful late Jindan cultivators can also help Lu Cheng, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue.

In addition to these two people, Lu Cheng's four disciples, except the eldest disciple Situ Hua, and the rest including Shi Sheng's Taoist partner Yun Huang'er, were all taken out of Tongxuan Realm by Lu Cheng in the Du'e Golden Boat.

This is because no matter the second disciple Miao Chuyun, the third disciple Youming, the fourth disciple Shisheng and Yun Huang'er, they all have the potential to cultivate Nascent Soul on their own, while the eldest disciple Situ Hua can only rely on the reincarnation treasure to try to reincarnate again.

In Tongxuan Realm, at least it is the home turf of his forces, so Lu Cheng, the disciple, still has a chance of finding such a treasure.

In the outside world, it is even less likely that such an opportunity will fall upon him.

“The cultivators of the Fiery Realm have been at war with the Deep Sea Monsters for a thousand years, so all kinds of resources, elixirs, and martial arts manuals can be exchanged for monster hunting merits.

After arriving at Haiyuan City, all of you, the disciples of the "First Great Sect of Tongxuan", should forget your identities. Your master is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Do not have ordinary disputes. Be a noble and virtuous person, and avoid karma. Digest the merits and focus on cultivation. "

"Disciple, I will follow the Master's teachings."

"I will follow my husband's instructions."

Not only Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shisheng, Yun Huanger, but also Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun.

Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er also stood up together and bowed.

Lu Cheng's words have made it very clear. In the area outside the Haiyuan City in the Fiery Dharma Realm, there are many high-level cultivators. Everyone must cut off their sins, avoid being contaminated by calamity, and practice cultivation with all their heart. Only in this way can they transcend.

The fact is indeed so. As long as a Jindan Zhenren does not actively seek disasters and does not fight for will, how many disasters can he encounter in his life? And how many disasters can he endure and avoid?
Seeing that his wives, concubines and disciples understood what he was thinking, Lu Cheng nodded slightly, closed his eyes and began to meditate and practice. Although he had mastered the Great Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method and the Profound Sword, even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage had been able to defeat them before.

But Lu Cheng did not dare to think that he was already the number one person under the Yuanshen. There were countless great cultivators in this world who were more powerful than Tu Hanyun of the Milian Sect. Even the Tianhai Corpse Demon and the Tianmo Boy were just natives trapped in the Tongxuan World.

Being complacent about being able to defeat them is actually a way to seek death and bring disaster.

"My current magic power is still too shallow. Once I have truly mastered the Thirteen Changes of Xuantian and practiced for a thousand years, even if it is a demon god from outside the world, I will be able to kill it with one sword."

Lu Cheng thought about this, then sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to practice breathing exercises.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-four years have passed.

On this day, when Lu Cheng was still doing his daily practice, a disciple from the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace ran in, bowed and said:
"Lord God, according to the star map, it seems that we have arrived at the Fiery Realm."

Lu Cheng and his five wives and concubines, four junior disciples, and two senior brothers and sisters, a total of eleven people, are high-level cultivators. The many disciples of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace on the Du'e Golden Boat are servants specially selected by Madam Baoxiang.

Although his cultivation is low, he is loyal. Because of his low cultivation, he knows few secrets of the sect. Even if someone searches his soul, he won't get much useful information.

Over the past 24 years, they have indeed shared a lot of miscellaneous chores.

"Oh, we're finally here!"

Lu Cheng floated up on the futon and flew out of the cabin.

At this moment, the Du'e Golden Boat was floating still in the universe, its hull flickering in the darkness.

In front, the flames of a planet's Tiangang atmosphere were rolling, constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. The color of the flames in the Tiangang atmosphere changed over time, sometimes appearing dazzling orange-red, and sometimes turning into dark blue-purple.

It may be as heavy as lead or as light as smoke. As the viewing angle changes, it gives people a feeling that is sometimes oppressive and sometimes ethereal.

"Liehuo Tiangang, we have indeed arrived at the Liehuo Realm. We have calculated the landing point of Haiyuan City. We would rather move it inland than out to the sea. You don't want to be fed to the monsters right after arriving at the Liehuo Realm, do you?"

Lu Cheng said this and then returned to the cabin.

He would naturally recalculate the coordinates handed over using the Tianmo algorithm. By doing so, the possibility of error would be reduced.

The Fiery Realm has arrived. Xiao Yuhong, Xiao Yuxue and others, who were mostly in seclusion, have come out to perform calculations and measurements based on the star maps and star disks they received from the cultivators of the Seven Realms.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator has sufficient magical powers, he can escape from the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, use the rotation of the realm to save time, and cross thousands of miles in a very short time.

However, there are also demons outside the world. Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, this is a relatively dangerous choice. Only when Yuanshen cultivators use this method can it be relatively safe and convenient.

A few hours later, the Du'e Golden Boat flew down, and the golden light on it spread and penetrated into the atmosphere of the Fiery Sky Gang. Lu Cheng stood at the bow of the boat, and in front of him was a sky full of orange-red and golden flames rushing towards him, landing on the barrier and burning fiercely.

"Lord God, after entering this world's Tiangang atmosphere, the speed at which the spiritual energy of the barrier is consumed has increased by more than seven times. If this continues, the spiritual stone reserves will probably soon be insufficient."

At the side, a general affairs steward said after performing the ceremony.

"It's okay. We will take care of this matter. You can go down."

Before Lu Cheng opened his mouth to speak, Xiao Yuxue, who had already come to the bow, replied. Upon hearing this, the general affairs steward naturally bowed and left.

"My dear husband, we haven't entered the Fiery Realm yet, so you should not consume too much mana. Let's work together to deal with the Tiangang atmosphere here."

In addition to Lu Cheng, there were four Nascent Soul early stage cultivators and six Golden Core late stage cultivators present. Such magic power was indeed not weak.

Xiao Yuhong, Xiao Yuxue, Xue Yuzhen, Yun Ling'er, Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shi Sheng and Yun Huang'er, Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun, each performed their magic spells and mobilized their magic power to inject into the golden boat barrier.

The Golden Boat barrier was visibly thickened and reinforced, perfectly resisting the raging fire outside.

"There is no sun in this world. All light comes from the Tiangang Fiery Fire. The Tiangang Fiery Fire is strong during the day and subsides at night. It should be night in this world now. It is really amazing."

Most of the realms of Dingzhang, Tongtian, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, Yinyang and Tongxuan have suns, but Liehuo is in the shadow of the big stars and cannot get the power of the sun.

At this moment, Lu Cheng inadvertently looked at the side of the golden boat, and his expression suddenly changed.

In the distance, in the sea of ​​fire, there was a giant red floating mountain, moving slowly, seemingly slowly but actually fast.

Only when the giant red mountain got closer could people see clearly that it was made up of countless tiny ants.

They are red all over, with two wings on their ribs. The small ones are no different from ordinary flying ants, while the big ones are as big as calves.

"This is……"

When Lu Cheng discovered them, the red ants also discovered Lu Cheng soon, and then they swarmed over him.

The world of blazing fire, the city of the abyss.

A huge mountain city standing on the top of the mountain on the edge of the endless sea, burning like a fire lotus in the sea fog, its magnificent sight is awe-inspiring.

The huge city wall is like the spine of an animal in ancient legends, winding and undulating, continuous and integrated with the shape of the mountain, blocking the endless surging tide in front of it.

The city gate was towering, engraved with complex runes, and glowing with a dark red light, as if it were solidified from the flames themselves.

A jade-built Taoist palace stands at the highest point of the mountain city. Its golden roof sparkles in the sun, as if the fairyland from heaven has descended to earth.

Outside the Taoist palace wall, the fiery red poinciana trees and the golden osmanthus flowers interweave into a dazzling sea of ​​flowers with a fragrant aroma that makes every monk who sets foot here feel peaceful.

Of course, Haiyuan City is not just about beautiful scenery.

As the front line of this world's defense against the deep-sea monsters, the monks in the city remain vigilant at all times.

A guard in heavy armor patrolled the city gates, his golden armor shining like the scorching sun. Sometimes, the roar of the deep sea could be heard from afar, making people feel a little uneasy.

On the streets of the city, immortals and mortals lived together, and there were many pedestrians. The monks were either trading or practicing, or discussing their practice experiences in groups of three or five.

At this moment, a monk accidentally looked up and then he was stunned.

"Hey, hey, why are you in a daze?"

The monk's companion followed his gaze, and then the wine glass in his hand fell onto the table, splashing the wine everywhere.

"Gold-gnawing fire ants! So many of them?"

The gold-gnawing fire ant is one of the ten most vicious insects in the seven realms, with the largest number in the Fiery Realm. The atmosphere of this realm is suitable for the survival of the gold-gnawing fire ants, so they often descend from the sky and cause strange disasters.

At this moment, swarms of gold-gnawing fire ants wrapped the Du'e Golden Boat and penetrated through the Tiangang atmosphere, like a giant red pillar falling from the sky.

Faced with this situation, Lu Cheng had already sacrificed the golden silkworm Gu that could contain hundreds of poisons.

However, the Golden Silkworm Gu, which had never suffered any loss in following Lu Cheng for hundreds of years, suffered a great defeat on this day.

Lu Cheng quickly took back the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, and at the same time secretly cursed himself in his heart:
"I'm really confused. The most powerful part of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu is its extreme poison and the solidity of its body, which belongs to the element of gold. The gold-eating fire ants use fire to overcome poison and they naturally chew gold. They really can overcome the Golden Silkworm Gu in every way."

The sixth-order gold-gnawing fire ants are born when they encounter fire. Their bodies are like small suns and can spew out terrible real fire to burn everything.

The Golden Silkworm Gu has a sturdy body and is extremely poisonous. Its sharp teeth and venom are its strongest weapons, but it is naturally restrained in front of the Golden Fire Ant.

At this moment, Lu Cheng had already flown out of the golden boat. He waved the Samsara Banner, and for a moment, large patches of colorful light emerged from it. Heavenly soldiers, generals, wronged souls, and evil spirits, big and small, fought fiercely with these gold-gnawing fire ants.

However, the number of heavenly soldiers and generals and wronged souls in Lu Cheng's Samsara Banner is limited, and he does not have the magic power to directly move those souls from the Tongxuan Realm to this world.

What's more, the magic power of those souls is too weak. In front of these fire ants, the spiritual insects with real fire all over their bodies, they are probably destined to die.

"My fellow Daoist, please do not lead the gold-gnawing fire ants to Haiyuan City. If you want help, Haiyuan City can provide you with the sixth-level spiritual medicine, the Soul-killing Powder. This powder can prevent the gold-gnawing fire ants from chasing you, but this powder is very expensive."

Suddenly, a divine sense was transmitted to Lu Cheng's ears. At the same time, the guard monks of Haiyuan City below were also gathering in this direction, but they were not attacking the gold-gnawing fire ants, but were subtly intimidating Lu Cheng.

"Fellow Daoist, please keep the Soul-Destroying Powder for yourself. I, Lu, never sign a treaty under duress."

Lu Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this. There was no cheap sixth-grade elixir, especially at this time. If he was tricked into going there, he would probably have to do hard labor in Haiyuan City for hundreds of years.

Since they were not allowed to get close, Lu Cheng would not get close to Haiyuan City, and flew away to the far southwest with the Du'e Golden Boat.

The monks on the city walls and even inside the city pointed and talked when they saw this.

"This fellow Daoist is too stingy with money. No matter how good money is, it is not as important as life. Being targeted by so many gold-gnawing fire ants, if there is no Soul-destroying Powder, I'm afraid it will take a great cultivator to save him."

"Alas, I think he can hold on for a while longer, but when his magic power runs out, he will eventually come back, and by then the price the city demands will only get tougher."
