Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 468: Nine Evil Demon Clouds Destroy the Wood Formation, Dual Cultivation Magic Method to Understand the Mysterious Gate (Please reward and subscribe!)

Lu Cheng's gaze lingered on Master Bailu for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The white deer holding the ganoderma is a sign of good fortune. It is rare for Daoist friend to achieve the right result in this dead and silent place."

Upon hearing this, the White Deer Master's antlers on his forehead trembled slightly, and he bowed again hurriedly: "It is all thanks to the guidance of Taoist friend in white that I was able to become enlightened. Your Divine Master has a sharp eye and saw through my innate magical power at a glance."

This True Lord Bai Lu and the tree demon both practiced the wood-based Taoism, but there was a distinction between Jia wood and Yi wood. She was good at planting spiritual herbs, and Yi wood was good at growing. The difference between her and the white-clothed tree demon was like that between a big tree and a small grass, each had its own characteristics.

The two of them are now practicing together, helping each other, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and reaching a different kind of wonderful Taoist realm.

The white-clothed tree demon smiled and waved his hand, motioning everyone to take a seat. On the coffee table, a few cups of tea were filled with a faint spiritual aura, which was actually a rare spiritual tea in the outside world.

"Please have some, Lord God." The white-clothed tree demon personally served tea. "This tea is harvested at the junction of yin and yang on the edge of this world. It takes a thousand years for a bud to sprout. It has the effect of warming the soul."

Lu Cheng took the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly felt a coolness penetrating his purple palace. Even his soul, which had been a little restless due to taking the Wanjie Yunshen Pill in recent days, felt cool and calm.

His eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but praise, "Good tea! It seems that you have gained a lot from your meditation and practice over the years."

The white-clothed tree demon sighed when he heard this: "I asked the Lord God to come here today because I really have something to ask of you."

At this moment, a hot breeze suddenly blew across the green mountains and valleys, and the magical grasses on both sides of the stone path swayed without wind.

The hand of the white-clothed tree demon that was pouring tea for Lu Cheng suddenly paused, and the tea soup in the cup created tiny ripples.

"At this hour, in this kind of weather, is there an unwelcome guest coming?" Lu Cheng tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and the ripples in the cup immediately calmed down like a mirror.

At this time, at the entrance of the valley, a red figure walked on fire.

It was a demon with two heads and six arms, a human body and a snake tail. It had two faces, one as handsome as a jade, and the other one was hideous and ferocious. When it walked, waves of fire formed by red flames spread out from under its feet.

Therefore, with every step it took, the grass on the ground would be scorched in a circle, and would be completely burned to ashes after it left.

At this moment, the ferocious face closed its eyes, and the human face smiled and moved its arms to salute: "Junior Yan Ming, on the orders of my master, Old Ancestor Rong Tian, ​​has come to pay a visit to Senior Bai Yi."

The demon stopped nine miles in front of the hut and bowed to the ground.

When he stood up, a red jade slip flew out of the demon's mouth, drew a fiery trajectory in the air, and landed steadily on the tea table in front of the white-clothed tree demon.

Lu Cheng watched coldly, and saw that the jade slip was as red as blood, but the surface was condensed with white lines like frost. It showed the image of water and fire complementing each other, and it was indeed a strange object.

Half of it is a jade slip, and half of it is a magic weapon of heaven and earth.

As a result, there was a flash of light, and many pearls, jades, and magical gems appeared in the room, almost filling the empty space.

The white-clothed tree demon paid no attention to the external objects around it and simply touched the jade slip with its finger, reflecting the contents of the jade slip into the void:
"I have long heard that fellow Taoists have used the Great Dao of Wood to change this world and create this blessed land of immortals. I, Rong Tian Dao, have been practicing for ten thousand years. Recently, I suddenly felt the warning from Heaven and realized the disaster of imbalance of Yin and Yang. I have specially ordered my disciples to bring valuable gifts to invite fellow Taoists to learn the wonder of the mutual generation of wood and fire..."

The white-clothed tree demon did not pay much attention to the contents of the jade slip, but said with some emotion:
“When I first fought this Sky-Melting Fire Demon, it was only at the Nascent Soul stage. In just a few hundred years, its magic power has advanced to this level. It’s really terrifying.”

As he spoke, the white-clothed tree demon turned around and explained the whole story to everyone present in the hut:

"It was a blessing in disguise. When we first encountered the Sky-Melting Fire Demon, it was not long after Daoist Fellow Bai Lu and I met. It had only been about ten years. At that time, the Sky-Melting Fire Demon was just a blazing red light. Bai Lu and I were farming and planting herbs in this valley. Suddenly, it came to me one day and wanted to become my disciple and learn the Dao together."

"Bai Lu and I are of the Jiamu and Yimu species respectively, so we certainly don't want to live in the same place with a fire spirit born and raised by nature, so I politely declined.

However, the fire spirit was extremely arrogant and refused to leave. The two sides started fighting after a few words, and since then there has been a hundreds of years of entanglement.

At the beginning, although its magic power was powerful, it had no knowledge of Taoism at all, so the white deer and I were able to defeat it.

But as time went on, this fire spirit gradually developed intelligence, and its Taoism and magical power grew day by day, and it even learned to enlighten the spirits and subdue disciples, and control the demons in this world. Bai Lu and I gradually fell into a disadvantage..."

While the white-clothed tree demon was explaining the cause and effect of the incident, Lu Cheng was secretly deducing and calculating using the Heavenly Demon Algorithm.

The Jiuli Ding is a treasure he owns, and the entanglement of cause and effect in this world is much simpler and clearer than the layered web-like entanglement in the outside world.

Therefore, after just a few rounds of calculations and with the help of the white-clothed tree demon's narration, Lu Cheng roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter:
The Sky-Melting Fire Demon is an elf born and raised in this world. It has lived in a muddle-headed state of law of the jungle for tens of thousands of years, and its origin is extremely deep.

Suddenly one day, it accidentally discovered the Qingling cottage of the White-Clothed Tree Demon, and was instinctively amazed by the Taoist cultivation displayed by the White-Clothed Tree Demon.

So day after day I watched and learned greedily.

Its realm and magic power are actually much higher than that of the White-Clothed Tree Demon. Even if it cannot use it, as an elf born and raised in this world, it also has special instincts. Therefore, as long as it does not show up, the White-Clothed Tree Demon cannot detect it at all.

Until one day, a white deer broke into Qingling Cottage.

The white-clothed tree demon treated the deer with courtesy and sincerity, and from then on the two of them talked about everything under the sun and the mysteries of Taoism. After a hundred years, the white deer even transformed into a human form and truly became a dual cultivation partner with the white-clothed tree demon.

When the fire spirit between heaven and earth saw this, it could no longer bear the loneliness and showed up one day. However, it was tongue-tied and arrogant, and joined the fight between the tree demon and the white deer, which finally led to a fight that lasts until today.

After figuring out the whole story, Lu Cheng told everyone what he knew.

This level of Taoist cultivation shocked the White-Clothed Tree Demon and White Deer True Lord, who couldn't believe it.

"So, there is actually no need for the two sides to fight. As long as mother and..." Yun Huang'er paused when she said this.

People who practice Taoism don’t mind the difference between men and women, especially those at a high level who are undergoing a tribulation change, and it is not uncommon for them to change from male to female, or from female to male.

But she couldn't bring herself to call out "father". Fortunately, she brushed it off: "As long as mother opens her heart, this disaster can be completely resolved."

Upon hearing this, the White-Clothed Tree Demon and White Deer True Lord also looked towards Lu Cheng.

"You are wrong. In fact, your mother's choice was right. The only mistake she made was that she did not kill the fire spirit immediately.

You change the world and create life for it.

But in fact, this goes against the operating laws of the way of death in this world. This fire spirit is your calamity. If you really open your hearts and accept it, the chance of successfully converting it is only one in ten or two in ten. According to my calculations, there is more than an eighty to ninety percent chance that you two will be devoured and killed by it.

This is a murderous intention from heaven. If I don't respond to it head on, but want to resolve it, how high a level of Taoism do I need? Anyway, with my level of Taoism, I am far from being able to control it."

Precisely because of the murderous intent sent by heaven, the fire spirit was favored by good fortune, and fought with the White-Clothed Tree Demon and White Deer True Monarch for hundreds of years. He quickly learned countless magic from the two and applied it on himself.

Not only can he transform his magic power to advance to the realm of transformation, but he can also learn to enlighten his disciples and enslave demons.

The reason why it wants to marry the white-clothed tree demon now is not to practice dual cultivation with him, but to covet his Taoist knowledge.

This kind of natural and naturally born elf constantly accumulates magic power in chaos and ignorance. Once it is successfully born, it has infinite potential. This fire spirit is of mediocre talent. Lu Cheng knows a monkey who found a famous teacher and only studied Taoism for a few years, and then he beat the gods all over the sky.

When calculating the magical powers of these beings, we cannot just count the number of years they have been born, but also have to take into account the days they have been accumulating magical powers.

"This fire spirit was born with the evil energy of heaven and earth. If you really accept it as your disciple, being nice to it for a thousand days is not good, but if you are not nice to it for a day, it will be a life-and-death feud that will never end. Your mother's response is already very appropriate."

Lu Cheng said this while drinking tea.

"With God's words today, I am relieved of a worry. I have also thought about whether my response to Bai Lu was inappropriate. Now it seems that the killing intention sent by heaven is beyond our control."

After saying this, the white-clothed tree demon no longer hesitated, but turned to the entrance of the hut and said loudly:
"I am an old man with a withered body, and I am afraid that I cannot bear your kindness. For this kind of 'wood and fire complement each other', you should look for someone else..."

"In that case, in three days, red fire will burn the sky! It's a pity that this immortal palace will be burned to ashes!"

Nine miles away from the hut, the demon looked around, seemingly with regret, but in fact, his eyes were burning with excitement.

For these high-level monks in the hut, three days is just a period of meditation.

The only thing that fluctuated greatly was probably the mind of Lord Bailu.

It grew and practiced in the Jiuli world, and always believed that this world was the real heaven and earth. It accidentally broke into this world and got acquainted with the white-clothed tree demon, and they became Taoist companions, fighting against the Molten Sky Fire Demon together.

However, he did not expect that his fellow Taoist could summon many high-level cultivators from outer space to help him.

Youming, Shisheng and Yun Huang'er are fine, although they each have their own outstanding Taoism skills, True Lord Bailu can always see through them.

Only their master sat there, unfathomable and deep.

But Master Bailu still had some worries in his heart, because the Sky-Melting Fire Demon was the spirit of this world. While others were accumulating magic power, he was learning how to use it, so his realm was improving at an incredible speed.

Although that unfathomable human Taoist priest seemed extremely powerful, as long as he failed to capture or completely kill the Molten Sky Fire Demon this time, even if he was seriously injured, the Molten Sky Fire Demon would make a comeback hundreds of years later, and no one would be able to control his magical powers.

Therefore, I still feel a little uneasy.

The three-day deadline is approaching in a flash.

Just as the sky was about to brighten, the two-headed, six-armed demon that appeared three days ago came slowly approaching, leading a treasure carriage, and many strange-looking demons followed around the carriage.

"Master, I also want to experience the feeling of commanding thousands of troops. Please allow me." The two-headed, six-armed demon turned around and knelt on one knee, saying this.

"Okay, it's up to you to do it."

On the treasure carriage, a middle-aged Taoist with a strong build and messy red hair didn't care about it. He raised his hand, and with a dark red flash, he bestowed a talisman.

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely not let you down."

The two-headed demon was holding the talisman and was extremely excited.

When the first ray of scarlet cloud pierced the gray sky of the Death Realm, the entire green mountains and valleys suddenly trembled.

The spiritual grasses on both sides of the stone path moved without wind, and the edges of the leaves turned yellow and curled. The tree demon in white stood under the eaves of the hut, and her skinny palms stroked the newly sprouted green buds on the door frame. The tender buds quickly grew into vines at her fingertips, and then spontaneously ignited without fire the next moment.

"coming."

Following this sigh, the red clouds in the sky surged like blood waves. At first, there were only a few spots of fire, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into a flock of fire crows that covered the sky and the sun.

The wingspan of these fire elves is more than ten feet. Every time they flap their wings, sparks fall like rain, instantly igniting any grass or trees they touch.

"Set up the formation, Ten Thousand Trees in the Universe!"

The sixth-level formation can form a world of its own and move through the void.

The white-clothed tree demon had learned a lot of human Taoism in the mortal world, but his heart was blinded by violence at the time. Although he saw a lot, the only thing he was able to learn was fierce and cruel magic.

She has turned from a demon to a Taoist in the past thousand years, and her lucid mind has been restored. She has also obtained many righteous Taoist books from Lu Cheng. She wants to change the world, so naturally she has to study formations. Now she is already a sixth-rank formation master.

Without this skill, she wouldn't have been able to fight against the Sky-Melting Fire Demon for a hundred years despite her magic power disadvantage.

With the valley as the center, a green beam of light shot up into the sky, and then spread out to form a world of its own, moving across the void. Even the most evil demons with endless murderous aura could not get in without breaking the formation.

These fire demons rushing towards us from all directions included fire eagles, fire snakes, fire elephants, fire leopards, as well as fire men and fire women. They were causing chaos and the demons were dancing wildly.

In essence, they are all formed from the violent fire between heaven and earth, and their minds are enlightened by the Sky-Melting Fire Demon, thus becoming his most loyal army of demons.

Youming, Shisheng and Yun Huang'er were the first to face an army of three thousand Burning Sky Fire Crows. These scarlet monster birds with a wingspan of over ten feet would rain down flaming feathers from the sky every time they flapped their wings.

Taoist Shisheng waved his sword, and forty-nine flying swords unfolded from his sleeves in the air, transforming into a cold light that circled the sky and turned hundreds of fire crows into flowing fire.

"Be careful underground!"

Yun Huang'er suddenly cried out, and stabbed the ground with a flying sword of icy light under the control of a spell. The frost spread along the sword tip, instantly freezing dozens of flaming snakes that were about to break out of the ground.

Each of those red-scaled fire snakes was as thick as a bowl, and even when imprisoned by ice, they still maintained a ferocious and biting posture.

The black robe of the Netherworld Taoist fluttered, and his figure was in harmony with the black sword energy flying out from his sleeves.

The sword light continued to grow in the air and turned into a black dragon with scary scales, which swallowed up all the hundreds of fire crows that broke out.

Wherever the sword dragon passed by, the flaming feathers in the sky dimmed before they could touch any grass or trees.

The unique skill of swordsmanship, the sword energy takes shape, in one sword move one can use the false to cultivate the true, mimic the shape, and generate one's own spirituality.

"Senior brother's Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture has become more and more exquisite."

Yun Huang'er exclaimed in admiration, and then sacrificed a sixth-grade top-grade Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. This precious mirror spread out and surrounded her body, shedding divine light, and had both offensive and defensive capabilities.

It can collect firepower coming from all directions into the mirror, and then reflect it back. Combined with Yun Huang'er's Ice Soul Cold Light Flying Sword, it is extremely powerful.

Yun Huang'er's magic power is the weakest among the three. Although it is originally like this, her magic power at this moment is much weaker than Shi Sheng's.

Because what exists in this world at this moment is not Yun Huang'er's real body, but a five-element Nascent Soul incarnation that she has cultivated, which is a method of external incarnation.

This was an opportunity that Yun Huang'er herself had gained in the Fiery Dharma Realm. She accidentally found a cave dwelling of a senior cultivator, from whom she learned the wonderful method of using the essence of the five elements to build a Dharma body and to refine her external incarnation.

Although it is not as good as the real person coming in person, he can still display 70% to 80% of his abilities.

Youming is a sword demon that transformed into a human, Shisheng was born in stone, and Yun Huang'er's incarnation is the incarnation of the Five Elements Nascent Soul. None of them are human, so they can enter the Jiuli Cauldron.

Just like the Jiuli Ding does not accept humans but can accept zombies. Of course, this is also because Lu Cheng is in charge of the Jiuli Ding, so he can do so, otherwise it would not work.

At this time, True Lord Bailu was holding the Emerald Ruyi, and the green light of Yimu fell like a gauze curtain, constantly repairing the nodes of the formation that were burned by the Demon Flame True Fire.

The white-clothed tree demon stood beside it with a cane, checking for omissions and making attacks from time to time. His own magic power and the power of the formation merged into one, almost like a god.

At this moment, the cliff in the distance suddenly exploded, and more than a dozen giant lava elephants came walking on fire.

These ten-foot-tall flaming elephants are made entirely of red-hot magma, and every step they take leaves a burning footprint on the ground.

The giant elephant in the lead opened its mouth and spewed out red flames, which hit Yun Huang'er from a distance and burned the mirror array around her body with a sizzling sound.

"You evil creature, it's not your turn to run wild here!"

Seeing this, the white-clothed tree demon slammed his staff into the ground, and thousands of thorns suddenly grew in the valley. These thorny vines entangled the giant elephant's legs, and the Jiamu essence was injected crazily along the contact points.

The lava elephant let out a dull roar, and flames on its body flickered - although plants and trees are afraid of fire, if the wood energy is extremely pure, it can suppress the fire spirit, just like a primeval forest that has grown for thousands of years without ever seeing a fire.

Yun Huang'er seized the opportunity and flew over with her sword. The Ice Soul Sword emitted a cold sword light like the moonlight. As the sword light passed, the giant elephant attacking her broke into neat ice marks, and when it collapsed with a loud bang, it shattered into red stones that emitted cold air all over the ground.

"Junior sister, be careful!"

The Netherworld Taoist suddenly merged with his sword and turned into a black light that flew behind Yun Huang'er.

The sword demon's true form was fully unfolded, and thousands of sword lights bloomed like a peacock spreading its tail, twisting the two sneak attacking demon leopards into sparks. These cheetah-like fire spirits were best at concealing sneak attacks, and they had just concealed it from everyone's consciousness.

Because his fellow Taoist was attacked, the usually steady Taoist Shisheng became a little angry. His spiritual consciousness and magic power were immediately poured into his natal sword. The lights of seventy-seven and forty-nine flying swords merged together, growing in the wind, and transformed into giant swords the size of mountains, which slashed at the remaining flaming elephants.

With one sword and one head, they were all killed in the blink of an eye.

When the battle situation seemed to be improving, the fire clouds in the sky suddenly surged violently.

The originally red clouds turned dark purple, and nine burning meteorites streaked across the sky with flames. The white-clothed tree demon's expression suddenly changed:
"It's the Nine Evils Devil Fire of the old demon Rongtian! Quickly retreat to the center of the formation!"

Rumble, rumble, the first falling meteor exploded into a sky full of fire when it touched the green light barrier.

These purple flames seemed to have spirits, clinging to the barrier of the formation and corroding it continuously. The second and third bombs fell one after another, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the dome of the Wanmu Qiankun Formation.

"Yimu shines!"

True Lord Bailu threw the Jade Ruyi into the air, and this life treasure that had been nurtured for hundreds of years shone with dazzling light. Countless young buds grew out of the Ruyi's surface, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into the shadows of towering ancient trees.

The roots of the giant tree penetrated into the void, and its stretched branches and leaves temporarily held up the collapsing formation.

The Netherworld Taoist took the opportunity to bite his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on his natal flying sword. The black sword light was stained with blood, and the infinite sword energy that was differentiated formed a heavenly demon sword formation. The sword formation rotated like a wheel, twisting the fourth attacking demon fire meteorite into sparks.

"Brother, don't take it head-on!"

Seeing Youming’s pale face, Yun Huang’er hurriedly controlled the Bingpo Flying Sword to create a nine-layer ice wall.

The fifth meteorite smashed through the nine layers of ice barrier and then hit the formation barrier before it stopped. The remaining cold air and flames intertwined into a strange blue-purple mist. Yun Huang'er was shaken by the shock of the magic power and her internal organs were damaged. Blood dripped from the corners of her mouth and she fell.

At this moment, Taoist Shi Sheng suddenly sat cross-legged in the air. He formed a spell with his hands, and 365 spells appeared around him. These spells moved like stars, forming a round light shield before the sixth meteorite fell.

In the earth-shattering explosion, the light shield shattered like glass. Shi Shengdao flew backwards with blood spurting out of his mouth, but he once again summoned his natal flying sword in the air. The sword light accurately hit the sixth meteorite, and the shock wave caused by the collision of the two temporarily suppressed the sea of ​​fire within a radius of ten miles.

Boom.

Rumble.

Rumble, rumble.

No one could stop the remaining three Nine Evil Fires, and they bombarded the Wanmu Qiankun Formation one after another.

Crack, crack, crack. Before the smoke and dust had dispersed, the ground suddenly shook violently. Countless cracks spread like spider webs, and red magma gushed out from the ground.

In the midst of these boiling rivers of fire, a humanoid figure made of pure flames slowly rose up. With each step it took, its figure solidified, and by the time it reached the front of the formation, it had transformed into a red-robed Taoist wearing a red crown.

"Melting Sky Demon Ancestor!" The pale-faced White Deer Master exclaimed. The Jade Ruyi in her hand suddenly trembled violently, and the phantoms of the ancient trees that supported the formation began to spontaneously combust.

The red-robed Taoist smiled and waved his hand, and seven fire dragons emerged from the sea of ​​fire behind him. Each of these giant dragons, which were completely condensed by magic fire, had the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As they circled, they tore the remaining formations into pieces. The white-clothed tree demon's walking stick suddenly took root and sprouted, turning into a towering tree to block the attack, but was entangled and burned by two fire dragons, leaving only the charred trunk in the blink of an eye.

"Master is right..." The Netherworld Taoist leaned on his sword and panted, his flying sword was already covered with cracks, "This murderous intent from heaven... is indeed beyond human power..."

The Melting Sky Demon Ancestor suddenly looked into the void and said, "You've been looking for so long, why don't you make a move?"

With a flick of its finger, Yun Huang'er, who was hiding in the gap of the void, was forced to reveal herself. The corner of the girl's mouth was bleeding, but the Ice Soul Sword in her hand was as bright as a crescent moon - she wanted to perform a sneak attack from the "Seven Emotions Sword Art".

At the critical moment, a dragon roar suddenly shook the sky. A sword rainbow pierced through the sky and earth, cutting off the fire dragon that pounced on Yun Huang'er. The remaining sword energy split the sea of ​​fire, leaving a tragic blood mark on the forehead of the Rongtian Patriarch.

Then a figure in Taoist robes stepped into the air, and every step he took caused the boiling river of fire to stagnate.

The remnant of the sword energy was still pulsating on Lu Cheng's fingertips. He looked at the suddenly changed expression of Rong Tian Mo Zu with a half-smile and said:

"I will take care of you and let you gain more experience. Besides, are you able to move my disciples?"

The sword energy in the Taoist's body seemed to be there and not there, yet unfathomable, which made the Demon Ancestor Rongtian frown, not knowing how to deal with it.

In fact, half of his Taoist knowledge was given by nature and half came from the white-clothed tree demon. He could still show off in front of the tree demon, Bai Lu, Youming, Shisheng, Yun Huang'er and other juniors, but in front of Lu Cheng, he was suppressed in all aspects.

(End of this chapter)
