Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 397: Sorry, I am sick and have been unable to update the chapter during this period. I hope my readers will forgive me.

The mournful sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire Hanyuan City...

In a state of war, every high-level cultivator in Hanyuan City will be equipped with items such as life plates and soul lamps, and they will be kept secret.

So, when the monks of Changle League who were guarding here saw the soul lamps representing the two True Lords Gu Yunge and Gao Lening go out.

He immediately ran out in a daze, and soon the whole city was in turmoil.

At the same time, on the other side, three beams of light landed in the Jinguan Cave of Canglong Mountain.

The three people who walked out were Lu Cheng, Master Fengdong and Lu Chengfeng.

Inside the Jinguan Cave, three people sat down in order of priority.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, now that our master has ascended to heaven, I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Lu Cheng asked as he sat cross-legged on the platform.

"...True Lord, I am extremely confused right now. Please take me in for a while so that I can sort out my thoughts."

Feng Dong has an excellent aptitude for practicing Taoism. Since he was young, Gu Yunge has regarded him as the successor and has kept him by his side. He has all the skills and spiritual objects, so he has less worldly experience.

Li Bihua and Feng Dong are cultivators with natural spiritual roots. Cultivators with this aptitude account for almost half of the Nascent Soul cultivators. However, the Dao is fair. After the cultivators with natural spiritual roots are promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, their paths are often not smooth, and very few of them can cultivate their Primordial Spirits.

"Of course, I have a close relationship with Taoist Gu. Although Canglong Mountain is not big, there is always a place for Taoist Gu to stay."

Lu Cheng's words at this time made Feng Dong Zhenjun extremely grateful. After the two talked for a few more words, Feng Dong and Lu Chengfeng left the Golden Light Cave.

After the two men left, Lu Cheng, who had looked normal just a moment ago, quickly turned pale, and then he said, "Puff."

Lu Cheng touched his chest with his hand and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of dark blood.

"In such a short time, three of my lives have been lost, cough cough..."

Time goes back to when the cultivators were facing the huge space rift.

True Lord Bing Feng walked into the space rift without hesitation. The ice phoenix blood she possessed naturally had the ability to sense space. Although the space rift was dangerous, she was 60 to 70 percent sure of getting through it. For something like ascending to the spiritual world, this confidence was already very high.

After Bing Feng came Gu Yunge. His chances of breaking into the rift were only about 30 to 40 percent, but that was much greater than his chances of cultivating his primordial spirit in the lower realm. After ascending to the spiritual world, not only would his primordial spirit have hope, but even the foundation he laid for cultivation would be more powerful, so there was nothing to hesitate about.

When it was Lu Cheng's turn, there seemed to be ripples spreading around the Taoist as if in a dream. At this moment, everyone was excited and in a trance.

The Phantom Ice Butterfly is best at illusions. It can transform itself into different shapes based on shadows and use the false to cultivate the true. It is a perfect match with the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner and the Phantom Sun Technique.

Lu Cheng used this illusion to conceal everyone for a moment. Not only did he do it without intention, his magic power was even the highest among all the cultivators present. Naturally, the Phantom Ice Butterfly illusion was invincible.

"Reveal yourself!"

Lu Cheng opened his mouth, and immediately a ball of colorful light flew out of his mouth.

The five-colored light ball grew rapidly, and what finally appeared was an image of a handsome Taoist priest who looked exactly like Lu Cheng. However, it was actually the incarnation of Lu Cheng's many years of practice: Dragon Gu.

Unlike Bing Feng who possesses spatial magical powers, and unlike Gu Yunge who has no other way out, Lu Cheng has a bright future in the Taoist profession, so naturally he does not want to leave his life to fate at this time.

But he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so naturally he had to send his external body to appear.

'But even so, it's still not safe.'

Lu Cheng suddenly raised his arm and pressed on the back of the young Taoist in front of him. It can be seen that the muscles in Lu Cheng's right arm kept rising and falling, as if something was rapidly rushing into the body of the Taoist in front of him.

"With the power of my five lives, I should be able to deal with any disasters."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, good wind will help me soar to the sky!" the young Taoist replied with a big laugh.

The next moment, this Taoist plunged into the space crack.

The whole process was so fast that Zui Daoren, Lu Chengfeng, Feng Dong Zhenjun and others only saw a flash before their eyes, and it turned out that Lu Cheng took a step back to make room for the people behind him.

At this time, the space rift had already fluctuated a bit.

"Such an opportunity should not be missed!"

The drunk Taoist raised his head to drink the strong liquor, then rushed in.

Seeing this, Gao Lening's expression changed several times. After hesitating, he rushed towards the space crack and threw himself into it.

After Gao Lening rushed into the space crack, the space crack fluctuated violently and then disappeared, which put an end to Feng Dong and Lu Chengfeng's thoughts.

At the same time, in Haiyuan City, the soul lamps of Gu Yunge and Gao Lening went out at the same time. It is said that there are immortal soul lamps in the human world that can detect whether the ancestors are safe in the spiritual world, but ordinary soul lamps undoubtedly do not have such power. When Gu Yunge and Gao Lening completely left this world, the soul lamps went out instantly.

The magic power that Lu Cheng injected into his external body at the last moment was his own "Five Elements Qi", which can almost be regarded as five lives.

The Dragon Gu is inherently weak and cannot truly bear the five elements of Qi, but if it is only used for a short period of time, there is no problem. However, Lu Cheng will suffer serious damage to his vitality. Under normal circumstances, he would never perform this kind of Taoist magic.

At this moment, Lu Cheng felt like he was split into two.

Part of it remained on the altar of the Jinguan Cave in Canglong Mountain, and the other part was in the bizarre void of the universe.

Countless cosmic rays, a magnificent spectacle like a supernova explosion... In just a moment, "I" died once.

The fire energy among the five elements instantly dissipated.

Not long after, the Earth Energy dissipated.

Not long after, the Gengjin Energy dissipated.

Not long after, the Gui water energy dissipated.

Then, there was darkness...

Lu Cheng was mentally prepared to lose everything this time. The magic power at the Nascent Soul stage was completely powerless against this kind of void crossing. No wonder even a Soul Formation cultivator could die after entering this kind of space rift.

Because everything is simply unpredictable and uncontrollable. Even for the Yuanshen cultivators, some of them are unpredictable and uncontrollable.

At such a tense time, Haiyuan City lost two Yuanying Zhenjun, including the great monk Gu Yunge, which made the people in the city panic-stricken for a time.

Many people thought that it was the Xuanming Sea Monster cultivator who secretly attacked. Some emotional True Lords demanded immediate revenge, which also caused the five sects of Haiyuan City to be in a state of panic. During the process, there were also cultivators from the five sects who came to the Golden Light Cave in Canglong Mountain to request an audience, and only left with peace of mind after seeing Lu Cheng.

With the deaths of great cultivators like Elder Senluo and Gu Yunge one by one, and since the Yuanshen cultivators would not easily take action, the existence and status of people like Great True Lord Jiefa, who were comparable to great cultivators, became increasingly stable and important.

However, no one knew that Lu Cheng had been in seclusion frequently during this period, and he was feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

He also didn't expect that his external incarnation, which had lost contact with him, suddenly regained contact a few days ago.

……

"Is this the spiritual world, the earthly immortal world mentioned in the classics?"

Lying on a wobbly carriage with cargo, Lu Cheng took a deep breath.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth in the mortal world is very thin, but in the wilderness of this world, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is at the fifth level: it is enough for the normal practice of a Jindan Zhenren.

"If those immortal cultivation families in the mortal world knew that there were so many spiritual veins everywhere that people's brains were broken into dog brains, I wonder what their expressions would be."

'It seems that what the formation master inferred: if the spiritual veins in the mortal world are connected and reach a certain strength, the entire mortal world can ascend to the upper realm. This is true. However... if the spiritual energy of every inch of the entire world is to be raised to the fifth level, I am afraid that the spiritual energy of the entire world will not be enough, right?'

In the mortal world, spiritual veins are extremely precious resources. A so-called immortal cultivation family refers to a family with at least one foundation-building cultivator in it, and possesses a third-order spiritual vein. Only then can it be called a family, to distinguish it from individual cultivators.

This is of course ridiculous in the eyes of cultivators at a high level, but before a cultivator's magic power is cultivated to the Jindan realm, if the spiritual energy is insufficient for a long time, his magic power will decline.

Therefore, many immortal cultivation families would do anything to obtain a spiritual vein of better quality, including fighting, killing, intermarriage, and betrayal. It was even common practice to send their daughters to other cultivators as concubines.

In this spiritual world, there is a fifth-order spiritual energy intensity between heaven and earth in the wilderness. Even if mortals live in this spiritual nourishment for a long time, they can prolong their life and eliminate diseases.

If one is determined to follow the path of Taoism, ordinary people can also achieve something if they get a Taoist book and practice the skills with perseverance.

Snapped!
A whip lashed past Lu Cheng, followed by a curse:
"You're being lazy again! Come down and work. Miss saved your life not to let you enjoy being a boss! Get down and work."

"Cough cough..."

Lu Cheng stood up and coughed lightly. In the process of crossing the space rift, he lost four lives in succession and was hit by a void ray. All his magic power was completely melted away, and even his meridians were damaged to a certain extent.

But as long as you can successfully smuggle into the spiritual world, this price is nothing.

'Although I have obtained the blood of the Ice Phoenix, the Mysterious Sky Nine Transformations have actually exhausted my talents. It is not impossible to continue to deduce the skills, but if nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take a hundred years of hard work. However, if I can obtain the Taoism of the upper realm, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of my deduction.'

"Ah."

The young man holding the whip saw Lu Cheng coming down to work honestly. Although he was weak, he was no slower than those strong men in carrying the goods. He nodded slightly:
Just obey the discipline, if you don't obey the discipline, I will have to pull out his thorns.

Moving goods, feeding horses, and washing horses.

Lu Cheng looked at the horse in front of him, which was nearly two meters tall, with muscles flexed all over its body and obviously of demon blood. He wondered if he could ride on it and escape.

But when he sensed the only Yi Wood Qi left in his body, Lu Cheng dismissed this idea.

"There are only two lives left. It is better not to challenge the existing rules easily. Find an opportunity to join a sect in the spiritual world and study Taoism. After a hundred years, you will definitely gain a lot."

After rinsing the horses, Lu Cheng went to eat with the servants, listening to them chatting, drinking and bragging.

The land of the spiritual world is infinitely vast and there is no famine problem, but the people in this world still have their own pursuits and their own hardships.

"This is how my life will be. I am doing everything for my son now. He has a good understanding and can stay calm. Maybe he will be able to join a big sect after his spiritual awakening. At that time, the spiritual stones he will need will be huge."

"That's right, Boss Luo's son will definitely have a bright future!"

In the spiritual world, if one does not have spiritual roots by nature, one can obtain them through spiritual enlightenment. Even those with poor qualifications can cleanse their spiritual roots and increase their qualifications through spiritual enlightenment.

But this also requires selection and requirements. One must have a good memory and comprehension, be able to remember and understand the Taoist scriptures, and then achieve good results in the Taoist temple. Then, one can participate in the spiritual enlightenment before the age of sixteen.

Lu Cheng sat beside the fire and listened quietly to what these people were saying.

Although all his magical powers were gone, his realm was still there. After pretending to be mute for half a month, he mastered the local dialect.

In these bitter words, he heard some stories about the Jindan Zhenren, Yuanying Zhenjun, and even Yuanshen cultivators.

Obviously, in this world, those realms can be looked up to by the lower-level cultivators. In the true sense, golden elixirs are everywhere, and Nascent Souls are worse than dogs.

But this world also has demon cultivators, monsters and even some strange and bizarre races. Although the human race can be regarded as a major force in the spiritual world, it does not have an absolute advantage and is sometimes still at a disadvantage in front of some powerful races.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the caravan.

A dignified middle-aged man lifted the curtain and walked out, followed by several family members.

"Chen Qi, is there anything wrong with the wild Taoist priest who was rescued?"

"Reporting to the master, there is no problem. Although he doesn't talk, he works diligently and is obedient." Chen Qi, a young man with a long whip tied around his waist, saluted quickly and replied.

"Well, may you be blessed with infinite happiness. God has a merciful spirit. Since Mingyun has found him, it is a fate. As long as he is not a demon, take him to the nearest town, give him some spiritual gold, and send him away."

"Yes, sir."

Of course, Lu Cheng would not know about these conversations. Now that his magic power was greatly damaged, he could not even release his spiritual consciousness. In the middle of the night, he meditated alone.

It was not surprising for Lu Cheng to do this. In the spiritual world, even the laborers in the caravan knew some basic breathing techniques. It was not that the more advanced ones could not learn them, but that they could not practice them well.

Looking inward, Lu Cheng could see a magic cauldron slowly rotating inside his body: the Jiuli Cauldron.

However, what was strange was that in the mortal world, in the Jinguan Cave of Canglong Mountain, Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the altar and looked inward, and he could also see the Jiuli Ding in his body.

"Could it be that this guy is willing to stay with his incarnation because the spiritual energy environment there is better?
One in all realms, omnipresent?"

Lu Cheng didn't figure out this problem in the end, but it was a good thing anyway. Even if he could only use the power of the Jiuli Ding slightly, it would be helpful for the survival of his incarnation in the spiritual world. And now he didn't need the incarnation to do anything, he just wanted him to survive.

As long as you live, there will be endless possibilities.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng slowly closed his eyes on the altar and once again began to accumulate his magic power and practice his exercises for the day.
