Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 405: The Secret of Tongxuan (Two in One, plus more with monthly tickets)
"Little thief!"

The Blood Shadow Ancestor, who was fighting fiercely in the air, suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head abruptly to look towards his cave.

His connection with the Thousand Souls Banner has been completely severed.

Years of hard work turned into smoke at this moment!
Obviously, just when he was fighting with Zhou Dinghai, someone sneaked into his cave and stole the Thousand Souls Banner.

But he clearly used a secret method to cover up the Thousand Souls Banner.

Even a strong person in the Celestial Realm would find it almost impossible to find it.

The loss of the Thousand Souls Banner made him so furious that his eyes turned red.

"Deserves to be killed!"

"Who is it?!"

He swept his spiritual sense over it.

He saw the longicorn red clam laughing at him in the cave.

Very angry!

"Damn it!"

Ancestor Blood Shadow understood that everything today was caused by the damned toad's collusion, and not only that, the toad also coveted his treasure.

"what!"

He was so angry that he let out a long roar.

Zhou Dinghai on the opposite side also looked down.

Although I don’t understand what happened, it seems that Niu Zhuha did something again that angered the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

As the saying goes, the more the enemy wants something, the more we must stop it.

It seems that the Blood Shadow Ancestor wants to escape.

He sneered: "Go to hell, and then everything will disappear naturally."

Say it.

The spear pointed directly at the Blood Shadow Ancestor's forehead.

The Blood Shadow Patriarch had no choice but to completely give up the Thousand Souls Banner and fight the enemy seriously.

But just when the two were fighting.

A large red-gold fishing rod swept towards him.

Look again.

The middle-aged man, Taoist Xuanyu, has used some kind of sealing method to temporarily seal the three-eyed ghost elephant in place.

He controlled the magic weapon and together with Zhou Dinghai, they formed a siege on the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

It seemed that the three-eyed ghost elephant could not break through the ban in a short time.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor fought one against two, but was soon defeated. He was hit hard on the back by the fishing rod magic weapon, and flew hundreds of feet in the air, his eyes bloodshot.

Fiasco.

He was just one person, how could he be a match for two powerful men of the same level.

But just when Zhou Dinghai's spear suddenly increased dozens of times and was about to deal a fatal blow to the Blood Shadow Ancestor -

A young man in white suddenly appeared in front of the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

He gave Zhou Dinghai and the other man a strange smile.

Then he crushed the talisman in his hand.

All of a sudden.

He and the Blood Shadow Ancestor disappeared out of thin air.

Taoist Xuanyu was startled:
"Great Teleportation Talisman!"

Li Rui escaped from the cave by escaping through the earth.

Wait until he shows up.

The war is over.

The soldiers of Annan Town who had been waiting for orders outside rushed forward and were cleaning up the battlefield.

The longicorn red clam had also received his news and left the cave.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong also saw Li Rui approaching.

"Brother Li."

The two of them took two quick steps and came in front of Li Rui.

Nie Siming laughed heartily: "I have a clear mind. I have been annoyed with the remnants of the Purple Gold Palace for a long time. Today I finally let out my anger."

Tigers are scary.

But if it's more disgusting, it's still fleas.

The remnants of the Purple Gold Palace are those blood-sucking fleas.

Many people in Qinghe died in assassinations at Zijin Palace, and he had long been disgusted with it.

Yuan Xiong also smiled and said, "It's a pity that the Blood Shadow Ancestor ran away."

Li Rui was surprised.

Tonight, two powerful second-grade warriors will take action.

Moreover, Zhou Dinghai and Taoist Xuanyu are both extremely outstanding in the celestial realm.

He even managed to allow the Blood Shadow Ancestor to escape.

Nie Siming took over the conversation: "It was a mysterious young man in white clothes, who actually had a large teleportation talisman in his hand."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

That great teleportation talisman is a top-grade talisman.

The top-grade talismans are very useful to the top three grades, and the large teleportation talisman is a life-saving artifact that can teleport thousands of miles in an instant and cannot be found at all.

Of course, it is definitely extremely rare.

There are very few people in the world who can draw the Great Teleportation Talisman.

Li Rui knew a lot about the art of talismans, so he knew even more how precious the Great Teleportation Talisman was.

It's a pity.

This time, he set up a killing trap specifically for the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

In the end, the guy still escaped.

Li Rui was not overly indignant.

All we can say is that the Blood Shadow Ancestor didn’t deserve to die.

He also took back the Thousand Souls Banner. After this battle, it would probably take a long time for the Blood Shadow Ancestor to recover.

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Ten years ago, the Blood Shadow Ancestor was still an unattainable existence for him, and he didn't even dare to think about seeking revenge.

And now, he even dares to plot against the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

This is the change brought about by strength.

Just as Li Rui was talking to Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong.

Zhou Dinghai and Taoist Xuanyu came together.

Zhou Dinghai could be heard laughing happily from a distance: "Lord Li, you deserve the most credit for this battle. I will report it to His Majesty."

Li Rui said modestly: "It is the credit of General Zhou and Taoist Xuanyu. I just provided some information."

"Master Li, there is no need to be so modest."

Zhou Dinghai waved his hand.

At the same time, Taoist Xuanyu also bowed to Li Rui and said with a smile: "Master Li."

Li Rui returned the greeting: "Master Xuanyu."

The two masters were very nice to him.

He took the opportunity to say, "Master Xuanyu, there are still some follow-up matters to deal with. I will not stay in your sect for the next few days. I would like to ask Master to help take care of Changqing Peak."

Don’t underestimate the fact that the leader of Qingwei Sect is the Great Immortal Qingding.

But in fact, the great master is in seclusion more than 90% of the time and is rarely seen.

The affairs of the sect have always been managed by his eldest disciple and second disciple.

Taoist Xuanyu holds a very important position in the Qingwei Sect.

"Don't worry, Master Li."

Taoist Xuanyu agreed without even thinking about it.

Li Rui then smiled and bowed again.

Subsequently.

The three people from Qingwei Sect were the first to return to the sect.

Wait until the battlefield is cleaned up.

Zhou Dinghai then led everyone back to Qinghe, and Li Rui followed.

Also going to Qinghe with them was the longicorn red clam.

In Annan Town, in a huge pool in the backyard of the general's mansion.

A huge scarlet toad was basking in the sun with its snow-white belly turned up.

This scene was seen by the servants in the mansion.

Everyone seemed to have seen a monster.

And Li Rui was sitting next to the pool.

Tianniu Zhuha said, "Brother Li, you have to help me keep an eye on my affairs. When I become the God of Chijiang River, I will protect Yunzhou from anyone who is not Lord Yuan."

Not bad.

Since conquering the Shiwan Mountains, Tianniu Zhuha has been staying in Li Rui's mansion.

Since he was the one who recruited the demons, he is naturally the one in charge.

Spend some time together.

He successfully became the younger brother of the longicorn red clam.

Longniu Zhuha is a second-grade great monster. Under normal circumstances, he should have been the one to curry favor with Longniu Zhuha. It is only because of the special circumstances now that he could find a big brother like Longniu Zhuha.

Others don’t know.

Li Rui's mind was as clear as a mirror.

The longicorn Zhuha is already the confirmed god of the Chijiang River.

It’s just that the Ministry of Rites’ process is too long and will take some time.

The God of the Chijiang River must be flattered.

"Don't worry, big brother. I have been urging you to do this."

Li Rui chuckled.

It’s not that he has impure intentions, but the affairs of the Chijiang River God are not up to him. Even if it is 90% certain, there may be some variables.

If I could pat my chest and make a promise now.

Wait until something happens.

That would mean making an enemy with a celestial monster for no reason, which is not worth it.

Li Rui would never do something like making enemies for no reason.

"Brother Frog, can you please tell me again about the theory of Tongxuan Guiling Ling that we talked about last time?"

Li Rui didn't expect this.

The Longicorn Zhuha is a great demon that actually knows a lot about the human race's cultivation system.

Although after reaching the third level, all paths flow the same.

I heard that there were even demon cultivators in the north. But Li Rui was still surprised.

With such a good opportunity, he would certainly seize the time to ask more questions.

Among the people he knew, Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong had just entered Tongxuan. He Qiannian had already stayed in Tongxuan for a hundred years, but because his path was too unique, he was unable to guide Li Rui.

This day, the red clam is just right.

The longhorn beetle red clam said lazily:

"Tongxuan focuses on nurturing the spirit, using one's own spiritual energy to connect heaven and earth, which is divided into three parts."

“Just divide it into three stages: the beginning, the middle and the end.”

"Using one's own spiritual energy to draw the power of heaven and earth within a radius of ten feet is the early stage, one mile is the middle stage, and ten miles is the late stage."

“If you can reach a hundred miles, you will enter the celestial realm.”

Seize the fortune of heaven and earth within a hundred miles!

Li Rui's heart was shocked.

He had seen the strong men above the celestial phenomena take action, and every move they made was full of strange phenomena.

It's like a god.

Ten zhang, one li, ten li.

He had heard this statement before, but he just treated it as a story at the time. He never expected that he would reach that point now.

Tianniu Zhuha continued, "Whether you are a demon or a human, your training is almost the same at this stage. What matters is that you use your own spiritual energy to mobilize the power of heaven and earth for your own benefit. The only difference is the form of expression."

It talks freely.

He knows a lot about the upper three ranks.

But it’s not just because all the paths converge at the upper three levels.

It is also derived from its past bizarre experiences.

It was only after listening to Tianniu Zhuha's own narration that Li Rui learned that Tianniu Zhuha was once the demon pet of the sword saint Liu Taibai, who was the best in the world of the previous generation of Yu State.

It’s actually not quite accurate to call it a demon pet.

The longicorn red clam was taken in by Liu Taibai in his early years and has always been by his side.

It was later when Liu Taibai passed away that the longhorn beetle Zhuha went to the Wu Kingdom.

Influenced by the number one in the world of the previous generation, he knew a lot about human cultivation.

Longniu Zhuha: "Brother Li, I once heard Mr. Liu say that this Tongxuan Realm is also called Miaoxuan Realm in the upper realm. It is the most mysterious and the door to all wonders. This realm is the key to enlightenment."

"The word 'Tao' sounds mysterious, but it's actually not that responsible."

"The universe is made up of many great principles. If you can get a glimpse of one of them, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life."

"For example, your good brother Jiang Linxian is a natural born swordsman."

"Generally speaking, only those who have reached the peak of Tongxuan are qualified to comprehend the Great Dao. One must be extremely cautious in choosing the Great Dao, otherwise one is likely to be caught in a dispute over the Great Dao."

"These are what Mr. Liu told me."

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He had also heard what Longniu Zhuha said about Tao from Jiang Linxian and others in the air.

The ways practiced by the top three grades are mostly related to the previous qi forms.

The sword-shaped true qi is what you realize, and that is the way of the sword.

Like Jiang Linxian.

The spear-shaped true qi is what you realize, and what you gain is the way of the spear.

Such as Yuan Dingting, Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong.

He also heard from Wu De that most of the immortal cultivators practiced the Five Elements, so spiritual roots were of vital importance. Mixed spiritual roots were the lowest grade spiritual roots, three spiritual roots were medium grade spiritual roots, a single spiritual root was the highest grade, and unusual spiritual roots were the best grade.

This is because the purer the spiritual roots, the easier it is to comprehend the great Dao.

It is a great advantage that one is born with.

This is what all the major immortal sects admire and support the most.

Perhaps because of the dragon-shaped true qi, Li Rui has water spiritual roots, and top-grade spiritual roots.

It is most appropriate to comprehend the five elements of water.

Of course, this is not absolute.

And the distance is still very far.

There are more than 500 people in the world's martial arts evaluation, but in the end, only more than 80 can comprehend the great Dao and reach the second rank.

In other words, only 20% of the third-grade ones can achieve the second-grade.

As for the first rank, there are even fewer.

The reason why it is so difficult to go from the third level to the second level is because of this enlightenment.

Only by realizing a glimpse of the great way can one break through and achieve the realm of celestial phenomena.

But there are very few people who can comprehend the great truth.

As for the dispute over the great way mentioned by Longniu Zhuha, he had never heard of it.

Li Rui: "Brother Frog, what do you mean by the great road dispute?"

One listen.

Tianniu Zhuha knew that he had spoken out of turn, so he laughed and said, "This matter concerns the secrets of heaven, so I can't say more. You just need to know that you should be more careful when choosing the avenue, and it's best not to collide with others, especially those guys of the first rank."

Li Rui: "Thank you, Brother Frog, for your advice."

Although he is still a long way from comprehending the great Dao, it is always a good idea to learn more in advance.

He asked many questions in one breath.

Only then did he leave with satisfaction.

Return to the room.

Li Rui began to study the art of talismans again.

What Longniu Zhuha just said was Taoism. The six arts of cultivating immortals such as talismans can only be regarded as techniques, and martial arts moves are also techniques.

The Tao is indeed lofty.

But the technique cannot be ignored.

In the process of seeking the truth, most of the time it is actually life.

At these times, the effect of magic is very great.
At the very least, it concerns the acquisition of resources; at the most serious, it concerns one’s life and property.

In this respect, immortal cultivators are indeed much more powerful than pure warriors. No wonder it is difficult for physical cultivators in the immortal world to eat fast.

After all, fighting and killing don't happen every day.

Li Rui thought so too.

Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.

It’s always a good idea to learn more.

Now his skill in talismans has reached a high level. He can draw medium-quality talismans. They are no longer as weak as before and can play a significant role even in battle.

A thought came to mind.

A yellow talisman transformed into a middle-aged man.

Judging from his aura, he already has the strength of a fifth-grade level!
Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

This clone talisman finally brought him some fame.

"Okay, from now on you will stay in the mansion and serve as a worshipper."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Li Rui smiled more.

In fact, he was directing and acting in the show just now.

The middle-aged man transformed by the talisman was completely controlled by him, and the feeling was very wonderful.

It's just bad taste.

The middle-aged man turned into a talisman again.

A small white flag flew out from Li Rui's sleeve again, and suddenly expanded into a large banner as tall as a person.

It was the Thousand Souls Banner that was taken back from the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

After these days of rituals and training, all traces of the Blood Shadow Ancestor have been completely erased.

With Li Rui's current cultivation level in Tongxuan realm, he can use the Thousand Soul Banner.

The power is incredible.

Quite like those old demons.

Of course Li Rui would not show it to anyone casually, but it is perfect to use it as a trump card.

Evergreen energy came out of his mouth.

He began to continue to refine the Thousand Souls Banner according to the mantra of the evil technique.

Such is the practice.

Not idle at all.

Li Rui often practiced for a whole day and night, and the days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

A magnificent carriage slowly drove into the Annan Town camp under the escort of the Annan Town cavalry.

Led by Zhou Dinghai.

Xue Gui, Nie Siming, Yuan Xiong and Li Rui all came forward.

Besides.

There are also longicorn beetles and red clams.

This was also the first time that Tianniu Zhuha had appeared in public since coming to Qinghe. Before that, he had always stayed in Li Rui's mansion and had never left the house once.

The reason why it is so ostentatious today.

Of course it was because the carriage came from the capital.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the few people.

The car curtain was lifted.

Then an old eunuch with kind eyes and white hair and eyebrows came down from the car. Also getting off the car with the old eunuch was Minister Wang from the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as Minister Wang got out of the car, he smiled and bowed to Zhou Dinghai and the others:
"Everyone, long time no see."

The last time he was sent as an envoy to the Wu Kingdom, he had a good relationship with the people in front of him.

As he spoke, he looked at the ten-foot-tall longhorn beetle Red Ha that was standing at the end of the crowd.

I was secretly surprised.

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites to confer honor on the gods of mountains and rivers.

This is also the reason why he appeared in Qinghe.

However, as a third-rank minister, he naturally could not confer a title on a great god like the God of the Chijiang River, so the old eunuch beside him was personally ordered by the Holy Emperor to leave the capital.

Say hello.

Minister Wang then introduced: "This is Eunuch Hong from the palace."

When I heard the word "Eunuch Hong".

Li Rui's pupils contracted slightly.

In the imperial palace, there was only one eunuch who could be treated with courtesy by a high-ranking official like Minister Wang, and that was the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, Hong Huang!

A eunuch who was given a bright red dragon robe!
Eunuch Hong chuckled and said, "I am here to read the imperial edict in compliance with the order of His Majesty."

This matter looks kind and benevolent.

It was completely different from the person who was rumored to have slaughtered two second-grade celestial beings!
