From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Hearing this, not only Ao Zhengrong the dragon was shocked, even the mermaids, sea creatures, and even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who had formed a formation and were about to launch an attack were all shocked.

Although Xu Xing spoke politely and courteously, like a modest gentleman, his words were full of arrogance and lawlessness.

Even without a top master like Qiantang Dragon King in charge, and the Dragon Palace's generals' foundations shaken by the calamity, the Great Sea True Water Array they set up at this time was still enough to trap a group of great immortal-level masters.

However, the ferocious monster in front of him, whose origin was unknown, seemed to not take the formation seriously at all. It had an arrogant look as if it could come and go freely and without hindrance. It was really arrogant.

The merman general could no longer bear it, and waved his halberd, stepped forward first, and shouted:

"What a monster! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of my Dragon Palace Canghai Zhenshui formation? You are so domineering!"

This mermaid general is the best fighter among the 100,000 naval forces in the sea realm. He and Prime Minister Turtle have always been known as the two pillars of civil and military affairs. In the past, when he was in the waters of Dongting Lake and received the imperial decree from the sky, he was also a top fighter at the level of a great immortal.

Although he has fallen from the realm of Great Immortal due to the impending calamity, the turbulence of the Heavenly Talisman, and the regression of his merits and deeds, he still retains the foundation of the Immortal level, and his vision surpasses that of most masters in this world.

Therefore, the mermaid general could naturally see that Xu Xing's previous attacks were all based on his magical powers to show off his power, and he did not use his strong foundation to hurt people. It was obvious that he had not yet reached that level.

If that's the case, how dare this guy be so arrogant? !

Unexpectedly, Xu Xing didn't even look at him. He just stared at Ao Zhengrong and smiled again:
"Now that I have said this, would the Eighth Prince be willing to follow Xu?"

Unlike the mermaid general's self-confidence, Ao Zhengrong had fought Xu Xing head-on after all, and had faced his powerful dragon at this moment. When he heard these words, the warning in his heart became even stronger.

However, this warning from the physical body was in extremely sharp conflict with the knowledge gained from a lifetime of practice.

No matter how hard Ao Zhengrong thought, he couldn't figure out how Xu Xing escaped from the Canghai Zhenshui formation.

Even if we take a step back and say that this old monster has indeed hidden his cultivation level, and that he is a rare great immortal in the world, this is the Penglai Sea Realm after all.

The Penglai Sea Territory where my father is in charge!

Seeing that Ao Zhengrong didn't say anything, Xu Xing also showed a look of regret and sighed:

"In this case, Xu can only learn from you and do his best!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the merman general's expression changed immediately, and he threw out a jade talisman similar to the "Sea Seal", and the long-prepared Cang Hai Zhen Shui Formation was also activated.

Within a radius of thirty miles, it seemed as if the world was spinning. Then, the surging sea and the clear sky completely turned upside down, forming a spectacular sight with the sea above and the sky below.

But at this moment, where Xu Xing had just stood, a giant palm with five elements divine light rotating and surrounded by black and white energy suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the water, like a strange peak rising out of nowhere!
The giant palm was several feet wide and square. It grasped Xu Xing and the Eighth Prince, as well as the flesh and blood of the dragon whale, in its palm, and then clenched its five fingers tightly!
The merman general then realized that the reason why Xu Xing was willing to chat with him and others was that he was just like them, secretly preparing a killer move.

However, he also realized that this giant palm, which was formed purely by vital energy, although had an exquisite and perfect structure and circulated endlessly, forming a realm of its own, still did not have sufficient foundation and would never be able to break the confinement of the "Cang Hai Zhen Shui Array"!

However, Xu Xingben had never thought that he could use his own means to forge a path. In addition to his martial arts foundation, he also had his own magic weapon!
The moment the giant grip tightened, the connection between Xu Xing, the Eighth Prince and this small world was completely cut off. Then the merman general saw some extremely clear, mirror-like, and mirror-like light coming out from the gaps between the five huge fingers.

The light flashed and disappeared, and the giant palm collapsed. Xu Xing, the Eighth Prince, and the alien dragon whale had disappeared in the Canghai True Water Array and even in the boundless sea.

The merman general's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed:

"Void Magical Power!"

Taoism is widely spread in this world, and there are thousands of Taoist sects. The techniques recorded in the Heavenly Sutra alone are strange and countless.

Logically speaking, no matter from which aspect, it is difficult to rank these techniques.

After all, no matter how crude and simple the magic is, in the hands of a great master or even a true immortal, it can still turn decay into magic, creating a unique and mysterious creation.

However, no matter how it is ranked, the magical power of the void must be among the best in the world, and it is the best among the best.

Could it be someone from the Demon Sect? !

The sect in this world that is most proficient in the magical powers of the void is the Five Directions Demon Sect, because the foundation of the sect is not in the upper realm, but in the vast void and the endless sea of ​​stars outside the universe.

It is said that the original Demon Ancestor was a celestial demon who crossed the infinite sea of ​​stars and descended into this world.

Because of the actual need to communicate, ask the demons to subdue them, and understand the five magic ways, as well as the natural familiarity of the Heavenly Demon Clan with the void, the Demon Sect's mastery of the void magical powers is far superior to that of other sects.

Therefore, when a well-informed and well-connected cultivator like the Mermaid General suddenly saw this extremely powerful and unknown Void Magical Power, his first reaction was:

The one who controls the supernatural power, even if he is not a member of the Demon Sect, must have been infected by the devil, or even possessed by the devil for a long time.

But soon, he overturned his guess.

Although the merman general was not blessed enough to master or even come into contact with the void magical power, he had once heard the old Dragon King explain the secrets of this kind of magical power.

Therefore, he was very clear that any void magical power, especially those involving void movement and capable of crossing long distances, was by no means as convenient and fast as ordinary cultivators thought.

Every detail is crucial.

How to place the mind, where to locate the exit, how to circulate the Qi, how to keep the body and spirit consistent...

If there is a mistake in any of these checkpoints, you will be crushed to pieces. If you are unlucky, your body and soul will be destroyed and you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

And in the "Great Array of Sea True Water", facing the suppression of infinite true water, how could it be possible to move such a long distance without being disturbed at all? !

What's more, this is the Penglai Sea!

Although the old Dragon King was injured, he still held the heavenly talisman. As long as he was in the Penglai Sea, he would be like a Taoist immortal living in a paradise on earth, or a Buddhist arhat sitting in the pure land of the mandala. He could be said to be invincible in the world.

Even if the Western Demon and the Southern Demon, who are the most skilled in teleporting among the Five Demon Sects, were to come in person, it would be impossible for them to use their magical powers so calmly and lead their people away under the nose of the old Dragon King!

——Could it be that the escape method in the central heaven of self-transcendence is the same in color and space, and it reverses reality and illusion?

When he thought of this, the mermaid general's mind trembled violently, and he could hardly control the formation, causing the entire "Cang Hai Zhen Shui Formation" to completely collapse.

Just three breaths after Xu Xing and the Eighth Prince left, an extremely long dragon roar suddenly sounded, which seemed to extend to the end of the sea and sky and fill the universe.

A huge will as majestic as a mountain suddenly descended here, condensing into a constantly trembling line, with extremely blurred outlines and difficult to distinguish features. One could only barely make out a human figure.

Even though it was just an illusory projection, it was still filled with indescribable majesty and dominance.

This upside-down world with the sea upside down is originally full of wonders and wonders that are incredible and unbelievable.

But as soon as this shadow appeared, it immediately smoothed over all the incredible surprises, because when everyone saw him, or rather, saw him for the first time, they would have another feeling:
——This is an existence that is enough to subvert all common sense in the world.

In front of Him, even if the sky is filled with water and the seabed becomes the sky, it is not a miracle, because He possesses such power!
The sea water calmed down, and the violent Gui water true energy that filled the "Cang Hai True Water Array" also became gentle and peaceful, without any killing power.

When the merman general saw the phantom, he immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said in fear and trepidation:
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Please issue an order to atone for my sins!"

General Jiao Ren never thought that after personally leading a group of navy officers to set up the "Cang Hai True Water Formation", he not only failed to capture the thief monster, but also let him kidnap the Eighth Prince, who was the most beloved and had high hopes for the monarch!
But facing this merman general who had committed such a heinous crime, the old Dragon King did not punish him. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

“What happened today is not your fault. This person used not only the Great Void Shift, but also the most advanced supreme magical power of creating the world by himself among all the magical powers of the void.

Such magical power of the void, not to mention you, even I have never seen it. I have only read a few words about it in the ancient books that are kept aside in the Dragon Palace.

What this person has learned may be some of the true teachings of the Heavenly Palace that have not yet appeared in the world, or it may be the Taoist tradition of the emperor of the upper realm. "

After saying this, He turned around again, looked somewhere, and sighed:
“I have already used the art of looking at qi, and both Prime Minister Turtle and you have made a wrong judgment.

When I look at his aura, I find it to be extremely masculine, extremely strong, extremely pure and extremely great. He is definitely not a monster. Instead, he is a rare and virtuous master in the world.

"Old Eight has been practicing for a long time, and it is time for him to leave the sea and venture out. It is his blessing to be able to be taken care of by this person."

The Dragon King spoke these words slowly and leisurely, which made all the generals in the Dragon Palace admire him deeply. They felt that the King's view of the sea was as if in the palm of his hand, and his magical powers remained the same.

When the generals mentioned the true teachings of Tianfu and the Taoist tradition of the Emperor, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts. After all, although the immortals and Buddhas of this world had ascended to heaven one after another, they also left behind their inheritance and magic weapons in the human world.

Before the catastrophe broke out on a large scale, the connection between the human world and the upper world was extremely close.

There are records of immortals and saints from the upper realms, venerable ones before Buddha, descendants of various emperors, and even the emperors themselves, reincarnated in this world.

Therefore, although this world has not seen such a lucky person for hundreds of years, it is not something worth being surprised about.

Although they did not doubt the Lord's judgment, they also felt incredible from the bottom of their hearts - could there be such a rough and rude master in this world?

Only a mermaid general could catch a hint of deep-hidden worry from the phantom.

As the first general of the Dragon Palace Navy, who had followed the old Dragon King for hundreds of years, he immediately understood what the king was worried about.

The Dragon King was not worried about the Eighth Prince leaving the sea. On the contrary, he was worried about the sea itself.

If the Ambergris Mouth really erupts and the Five Sects Demon Sect sees an opportunity to take advantage of it, I am afraid that a brutal bloody battle will be inevitable throughout the entire sea area.

By that time, the Eighth Prince who is alone and follows the master may have a better chance of survival.

What's more, that master has such a wonderful magical power of the void. If there is no peerless strong man at the level of Heavenly Demon True Immortal, who in the world can stop him?

While the merman general was thinking, he heard an extremely hoarse and tired voice coming from the lake of his heart.

Unlike when he faced the generals of the Dragon Palace, in front of the Mermaid General, his absolute confidant, the old Dragon King did not deliberately hide his weakness, but just said slowly:

"We secretly sent the water tribe to Jinshan Temple along Zhenjiang River to inform Master Fahai of what happened here and asked him to contact the Great Protector of Kanglong Palace.

Since we have already seen signs of rioting here, and their Great Spiritual Officer who is in charge of the mountains and rivers is on the front line, the situation must be even worse, so we must prepare for the worst."

The merman general did not show his emotions on his face. He just replied with a deep word "OK" in his heart and then slowly stood up.

At this time, the shadow transformed by the Dragon King had dissipated, and the sea and sky turned back to their usual appearance without the slightest abnormality. The other generals and seamen felt relieved.

In their opinion, since the old Dragon King has been sentenced to death, today's minor disturbances will come to an end and the sea will be able to return to its former peace.

Just like the past few decades.

Some of the more active generals even felt a little relieved.

——In the context of fighting against the devil's calamity, the emergence of such a master who possesses the true teachings of Tianfu and the Taoist tradition of the Emperor, even if he cannot break the devil's monopoly on the magical powers of the void, is a blessing for the world.

However, some generals who had seen Xu Xing hunting sea beasts and enjoying the blood and food to their heart's content couldn't help but look a little strange.

But when the mermaid general saw this magnificent sea view, his mind not only did not become more open, but he felt depressed and even felt an undercurrent surging in his heart.

He also knew that this was due to the excessive shocks he had experienced in recent days, so he calmed himself down, let out a long breath, and then returned to the court, ready to handle the matters that the Dragon King had secretly instructed him to do.

Xu Xing actually didn't know that this world had special research and prevention measures for the so-called void magical powers.

What he did was just to use the empty field method of the previous world to temporarily open up an isolated realm, covering himself and the Eighth Prince in it, and then use the means of "breaking the void" to move along the path guided by the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror".

This method is actually not as quiet as the Mermaid General thought, and it requires a long period of preparation.

However, all the preparatory work done by Xu Xing was in the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror".

Since the creation of the world again in the last world, a small void world has also emerged in his "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror".

Although the space in this mirror world is still extremely limited, only several feet square, it is stable enough to serve as a "raft" for moving through the void and carry people along.

Moreover, as long as all the work of relocation is completed in the mirror world in advance, no one will be able to detect it unless he is a master like him who has mastered the magical powers of the void and is familiar with the changes in the void.

However, although Xu Xing was unable to hear the old Dragon King's analysis, he realized the depth of this world in a more direct way at the moment of the void movement.

From the time he slowly walked into the void rift until he appeared somewhere on the shore, it took only a moment.

But at this moment, even though he was in the mirror world, he sensed an extremely terrifying aura full of destructive power, which seemed to be about to explode at any time, flashing outside the world.

Xu Xing could also sense that the heavy and turbid thoughts in this breath were a thousand times more dense, ten thousand times stronger, or even tens of thousands times more intense than those of the ferocious beasts in the sea!
In the face of such power, even he now would not be able to fight back at all.

However, there seemed to be another majestic and imposing aura, like a sacred mountain that could suppress the four directions and eight poles, and sort out the dragon veins of mountains and rivers. It was struggling to resist this aura, which prevented it from completely erupting.

-

Somewhere, in a realm where yin and yang are in disorder and there is no light at all, countless resentful and evil spirits fill the place, gathering into twisted figures, like countless ghosts and devils, ready to completely burst and tear apart the entire world.

In the midst of the raging evil energy, a golden statue of a god, wearing crimson and purple court robes, a gold and jade belt around his waist, with a majestic face and a long beard on his chin, stood majestically.

Suddenly, His eyes moved.

"This is——the magical power of the void?"

Although this godlike golden figure was dressed in the robes of a civil official, he was holding a four-sided whip in his hand that was neutral and peaceful in appearance and as big as a pagoda.

It is said that if substance prevails over refinement, the result will be uncouth; if refinement prevails over substance, the result will be pedantic. Only when substance and refinement are in harmony can one be called a gentleman.

This sentence is the best description of Him.

However, although the golden body of this deity was extremely majestic, its appearance was no longer brilliant and dazzling. Instead, it looked deathly gray, and fine cracks continued to appear on it.

"Since the creation of the void, when has such a person appeared in the world? He is pure and upright. Good, good..."

The god stroked his beard with his left hand, a look of emotion emerged on his face, and he stomped the ground lightly with his right foot. With a shake of the pagoda-like heavy mace, he once again completely shattered the resentful and evil spirit that was surging like a tide.

However, it is visible to the naked eye that no matter how powerful this deity is, it is impossible to completely eliminate the turbid air, demonic energy, resentment, evil spirits and other forces that fill this place.

What He did was destined to be a temporary solution.

-

The moment Ao Zhengrong was grabbed by Xu Xing's giant palm, he wanted to struggle, but in an instant, the world in front of him suddenly changed, and under his feet was no longer the boundless ocean, but a wonderful realm with twinkling stars, rotating five elements, and merging yin and yang.

——Could this be, an illusion? !
Ao Zhengrong didn't even have time to release his divine sense to carefully explore this world. The world before his eyes changed again. This time, he appeared in a deserted forest.

After these two changes, even though Ao Zhengrong was shocked and confused, he thought of another possibility.

——Could it be the Void Divine Power? ! Ao Zhengrong just turned his head in disbelief when he saw Xu Xing walking out leisurely from a crack like ripples behind him.

The huge corpse of the dragon whale fell heavily to the ground, crushing a group of trees and splashing dust mixed with a strong smell of blood, which rolled in all directions.

This time, Ao Zhengrong could really be sure that this was not any illusion that could confuse one's true nature and spiritual light, but a thorough and genuine magical power of the void!
Moreover, this shouldn't be an ordinary void teleportation...

Although Ao Zhengrong's magical powers, vision and knowledge are not as good as those of the mermaid general who once reached the realm of great immortal, he has experienced the teleportation personally after all, so his feelings are naturally more profound.

He knew that if it was void teleportation in the ordinary sense, it would only be point-to-point travel and would never involve other realms - that would be a waste of mana and energy.

But Ao Zhengrong just now clearly saw another small world with all kinds of vitality.

Moreover, to perform such a movement, extremely high requirements are placed on both the practitioner and the person doing the movement, but Ao Zhengrong did not feel any discomfort at all during this process.

Ao Zhengrong quickly thought of another possibility. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, making a very loud gurgling sound in his throat, and then asked in a hoarse voice:

"Could it be that the magical power you just used, could it be... the legendary supreme magical power of the void, which is also considered the top-level magical power of creating the world?"

When he uttered the last few words, even this Dragon Palace prince, who was extremely knowledgeable, raised the ending tone of his words, revealing indescribable surprise and shock.

As soon as this question was asked, many of the doubts in Ao Zhengrong's mind disappeared.

Since this old monster was able to display his void magical power in the "Cang Hai Zhen Shui Formation" under the nose of his father, he could naturally sneak into the sea silently.

The old monster possesses such supreme magical power that he can do whatever he wants without restraint, except for a few large sects ruled by true immortals or demons.

As soon as Xu Xing heard this, he immediately understood that the strong people in this world had already applied "Breaking the Void" and "Void Movement" to the point of forming a complete system.

A glimpse of the whole picture, even if it was just one side, was enough to make Xu Xing realize how prosperous the cultivation system in this world is.

He was not in a hurry to reply, but just raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Is this kind of Void Magical Power very rare?"

Seeing Xu Xing so calm, Ao Zhengrong couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Not to mention creating the world by himself, even a magical power like teleporting through the void is enough to render even the great immortals helpless.

As far as I know, only the Five Directions Demon Sect has the orthodox teachings that allow people to follow the steps and try to cultivate the void magic.

The two most famous ones are, one is the "Yin Demon Splitting Sky Method" which is used by the Western Vairocana to tear the sky and shatter the void, and the other is the "Nine Netherworlds and Ten Hells Escape Method" which is used by the Southern Youyou Yamatian to travel through yin and yang and penetrate the underworld.

But even in these two schools, it would take at least a hundred years for a genius to fully comprehend the Void Divine Power and be able to use it freely."

After hearing the name of the Five Directions Demon Sect, Xu Xing recalled the aura he had just felt. After thinking for a moment, he sat down, stroking his stomach, and suddenly said:

"Let's eat first, and then we can talk."

Even though he was able to perform void teleportation with the help of the Zhenwu Haotian Mirror, Xu Xing still consumed a lot of energy. This dragon whale was a good tonic for him.

When Ao Zhengrong heard this, he looked at the dragon whale behind Xu Xing. Although he looked strange, he still sat down obediently.

Although Xu Xing's origins are still unknown, Ao Zhengrong has already made a judgment in his mind. What's more, he has a relatively clear understanding of himself.

If they were to compete head-on in magical powers and martial arts on the battlefield, Ao Zhengrong believed that he was not inferior to the Taoist masters. However, if he wanted to break this extremely mysterious magical power of the void and try to escape from this old monster, it could be said that there was no hope.

But Mr. Ao's temper, to put it nicely, is open-minded, optimistic and positive, but to put it bluntly, he is heartless.

So Ao Zhengrong didn't do any psychological preparation and just sat down next to Xu Xing, thinking happily in his heart - at least, not only did he not suffer any abuse, but he could also sit at the table to eat.

Xu Xing glanced at him and said in surprise:
"I didn't realize you were so familiar with people?"

Ao Zhengrong came over and licked his face and said:

"Although Xiaolong has limited knowledge, he can see that the senior is not a vicious and violent person. I don't think he will harm Xiaolong."

Xu Xing nodded and added without hesitation:
"Besides, you want to learn something from me."

Ao Zhengrong smiled very honestly:
“There are not many people like you and Xiaolong in this world nowadays.

If Xiaolong guessed correctly, the senior wanted to find his uncle to learn from each other and verify the Taoist magic. In this case, Xiaolong naturally wants to watch. "

When Xu Xing heard this, he also shook his head and laughed.

"You little dragon, you are quite cunning."

In fact, although Xu Xing was dissatisfied with Longgong's coercive behavior at first, after feeling the destructive aura, he could understand the stress of the Longgong generals.

After all, there's such a big bomb under your butt that could explode at any time, so it's normal to be a little sensitive.

So when looking at Ao Zhengrong now, Xu Xing didn't feel any grudge in his heart, and he had actually made plans to exchange martial arts with this little dragon.

Hearing that there was no rebuke or disgust in Xu Xing's tone, Ao Zhengrong chuckled a few more times, appearing extremely shy. After a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"I have yet to ask you, Senior, your body is so strong, what kind of monster is it that has transformed into this?"

While Xu Xing was grilling the meat, he raised his head and looked at him in surprise again, and said with interest:

"I've always wanted to ask, in your opinion, what kind of monster am I?"

Ao Zhengrong had obviously thought about this question before, and he answered immediately:
"Xiao Long often heard from the Turtle Minister that in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are Dapeng nests and Zhenhou entrenched, and the descendants of ancient mythical beasts such as Zhuyan and Huodou are sleeping. There are even traces of pure-blooded mythical beasts. Could it be that the senior is one of them?"

When mentioning the Ten Thousand Mountains and these legendary beasts, Ao Zhengrong's eyes couldn't help but light up. It was obvious that he was extremely yearning for them, and even had some indescribable longing.

When Xu Xing saw Ao Zhengrong's appearance, he couldn't help but smile slightly and sighed in his heart, he was still a child after all.

I don’t know why, but since Xu Xing left the previous world, whenever he saw this childish look, he felt extra warm and gentle in his heart.

So, he waved his right hand, handed a piece of dragon whale meat to Ao Zhengrong, and said with a smile:

"Have you never thought that I might not be a demon at all, but a human?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ao Zhengrong, who was so excited just now, was stunned on the spot, and his handsome and heroic face revealed an obvious look of shock.

Ao Zhengrong didn't care about the offense and raised his head again, looking Xu Xing up and down, inside and out, from head to toe, and then said in disbelief:

"people……?"

Xu Xing met his gaze, his eyebrows twitching, and asked back:
"Why, don't I look like a human?"

Ao Zhengrong looked at the dragon whale corpse behind Xu Xing, and the roasted meat that was gradually turning golden in the Ten Yang True Fire. He groaned, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

In the past, when the Dragon King was still in charge of the waters and the 800-li Dongting Lake, Ao Zhengrong had also seen great monks who had dealings with the Dragon Palace, but none of them had such a tough and ferocious temperament as Xu Xing.

In Ao Zhengrong's eyes, compared to those real people and great real people who were famous throughout the world, Xu Xing was more like the demon king who, after the catastrophe, saw that the Dragon Palace was weak and gathered a group of evil demons to come and besiege the sea realm.

Therefore, Ao Zhengrong guessed that he might be the descendant of a mythical beast that came from the Ten Thousand Mountains and had been sleeping since ancient times and had just been born.

And even if we ignore the mysterious existence of temperament and momentum, the surging blood and surging essence released by Xu Xing when fighting does not seem to be something that humans can possess.

Fortunately, although Ao Zhengrong is only a youngster among the youngsters in the dragon clan, he is nearly a hundred years old after all, and has seen a lot of the world in the Dragon Palace.

Therefore, even though he was in a dilemma, the Eighth Prince still came up with a brilliant answer. He looked at Xu Xing's half-smiley face and whispered:

"Reporting to the senior, it looks like."

"picture?"

Hearing this word, even Xu Xing couldn't help but fall silent.

However, he also realized one thing. The reason why Ao Zhengrong mistook his own identity was probably because of the unique cultivation system in this world.

In other words, his way of focusing on building up strength, tempering the physical body, taking body training as the foundation, and combining the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit should be unique to the demon race.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing did not continue to explain the matter. He just tasted the dragon whale meat in his hand, absorbed the essence from it, replenished his blood, and asked Ao Zhengrong for information from time to time.

Ao Zhengrong naturally told everything he knew.

Only then was Xu Xing able to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this world from his mouth.

This world is completely different from any world Xu Xing has ever experienced.

The immortals and Buddhas who once lived here, as well as the practitioners of later generations, have completely navigated the path to transcendence and longevity after countless years, and the system of heavenly talisman blessings is also extremely complete.

It can be said that even without any adventure, as long as one's aptitude is high enough and one practices step by step according to the orthodox methods of this world, the possibility of achieving transcendence may even be greater than the sum of the first three worlds.

The orthodoxy mentioned here mainly refers to Buddhism and Taoism.

When practicing Taoism in this world, one must start with visualization, worship the statues of the emperors of heaven, subdue the distracting thoughts in the mind, and thus concentrate on a divine will that conforms to the rules of heaven and earth, which is in harmony with the essence in the body and the vital energy of the outside world.

Generally speaking, this kind of divine will is presented in the form of talismans. The talisman is the spirit of heaven and earth, and the talisman is the seal of ghosts and gods. Only by driving the vitality of heaven and earth can a talisman seed be created and magic power be cultivated.

After the Taoist has mastered the talisman seeds, he has completely embarked on the path of cultivation and can be called a refiner. It means that he is refining magic power, and it also refers to the cultivators at this level who can refine their own magic talismans.

Going forward, the Taoist will have to continuously refine his magic power with the talisman seeds, condense more talisman seeds, and finally form a true talisman of his own destiny.

Different true talismans have different composition structures, representing different ways of practice, and the requirements for the types of talismans are also different.

This is why the independent cultivators who have not received the true teachings have shallow foundations and mixed magical powers. Since they have lacked this kind of high-level design and planning from the very beginning, it is natural that the further they go, the more difficult it will be for them to move forward.

When a Taoist master condenses a true talisman, he can be respectfully called a Taoist priest.

The title of "Yushi" means that they have been able to break free from the earth's magnetism with talismans and have the ability to fly into the sky and hide underground. It also means that these masters have stepped out of the secular world and are no longer the same as ordinary people.

The subsequent practice is to take the natal talisman as the core, gradually condense the other talismans, build the foundation of Taoism, and completely transform the magic into a magical power that can be used freely.

Those who have perfected their Tao foundation can be called true people.

Generally speaking, this statement means that the cultivator has already achieved enlightenment, but in Ao Zhengrong's mouth, there is a rather joking statement.

——The so-called true person is someone who is truly worthy of being noticed by the immortals in heaven.

Only cultivators at this level are qualified to receive the Heavenly Talisman, comprehend the great Dharma contained therein, and increase their spiritual power.

Those who can integrate the Heavenly Talisman into themselves and combine it with their Taoist foundation can be called Great Immortals, and have incredible magical powers such as moving mountains, destroying peaks, turning rivers and seas upside down.

Going further up, you will be qualified to ascend to heaven and become a true immortal to serve as a god.

Although the Buddhist paths are different, they also have their own blessing systems. As long as one sincerely visualizes the Dharma bodies of all Buddhas and forms the Dharma image within, one can receive the blessings of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Western Paradise.

The Buddhist dragons and elephants who have attained the Arhat status can also be compared to the Taoist immortals.

Precisely because the two great forces of Taoism and Buddhism can directly connect with the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Kingdom through the Heavenly Talisman blessing system, these two were the most popular before the great catastrophe.

Even the Dragon Palace, which also has a righteous god in charge, has to bow down to them. Even the Five Directions Demon Sect cannot shake the status of these two families and can only make plans in secret.

But this situation was completely changed by a catastrophe that affected the whole world.

Even now, no one knows where the catastrophe came from. All we know is that after a certain moment, the entire human world’s connection with the upper world was completely severed.

At that moment, all the great Taoist and Buddhist monks who had received the Heavenly Talisman and blessings were severely damaged, and the vast majority of the mountain and water spirits whose foundation was conferred by imperial decree perished.

Because the change came too suddenly, even for the most powerful people in the world, such as the True Immortals and Arhats, their cultivation was reduced by 50% to 60%, and they suffered serious injuries.

The demons, ghosts and unorthodox sects that had been suppressed by the two orthodox sects of Buddhism and Taoism for too long would naturally not let go of such an opportunity. Led by the Five Directions Demon Sect, they invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, burning, killing and looting.

The Demon Sect is good at using various methods to corrupt people's minds and rob them of their cultivation. Now, facing these great monks whose foundations are unstable, they are invincible and have success in everything they do.

In that battle, countless Taoist lineages were completely wiped out, and many Taoist immortals and great immortals who used to lie high in the clouds and overlook the human world were also killed in battle.

Even more than one Taoist immortal and Buddhist Arhat fell, and the entire world was filled with blood and corpses.

In this process, it was the sects and monks who did not follow the orthodox path that played an extraordinary role. Qiantang Dragon King was a prominent example.

Among them, the one who made the greatest contribution and achievements was the Qingcheng Sword Sect, which is the source of sword cultivation in the world and the leader of the sword immortal lineage.

Although this lineage has a superior Taoist heritage, from the head master down, they all focus on sword refining. They do not practice talismans or receive heavenly talismans. Therefore, they have never been liked by the three talisman sects that claim to be the orthodox Taoism.

But in critical moments, this group of sword cultivators who were proficient in sword energy and specialized in the art of killing became the backbone of the demonic calamity, slaying demons and eliminating evil and leading the way.

However, even though the Qingcheng Sword Sect's supreme leader, whose swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle and who could be called a land-based sword immortal, had the help of several great immortal-level elders, it was still difficult to reverse the situation, and he could only protect the Jiannan Dao area.

Since then, except for Jiannan Road guarded by the Qingcheng Sect, the twenty-four districts in the southeast protected by the three talisman sects, and a few other areas such as the Penglai Sea, Kanglong Palace, and Jinshan Temple, most of the Nine Provinces have fallen into the hands of this group of demons and submerged in the rolling demon tide.

When mentioning this extremely tragic demonic calamity, even Ao Zhengrong couldn't help but feel sympathetic and had a sad look in his eyes.

Because in that war, more than one of his brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts died in the battle.

If the old Dragon King had not had an excellent foundation before receiving the Heavenly Talisman, and had not made a prompt decision to abandon the Dongting waters, I am afraid that everyone in the Dragon Palace would have been unable to escape the disaster.

However, this sad feeling was fleeting, and Ao Zhengrong couldn't help but grin and sneer:
"My uncle also said that if the Taoists and Buddhists had not relied too heavily on the Heavenly Scripture Blessing System, even if the five evil sects joined forces to attack, the situation on earth would never have deteriorated to this extent."

A light burned in Ao Zhengrong's eyes, and he looked at Xu Xing with a burning gaze.

"In this world of great strife, demons are rampant, evil ways are rampant, and Buddhism is weak. However, it is a perfect time for seniors and cultivators like me who practice the ancient ways to show our skills and turn the tide!"

When Ao Zhengrong said this, he radiated a confident aura from head to toe, and his voice was sonorous, powerful, clear and inspiring.

Xu Xing remained calm, just nodded and said calmly:
"However, with your magical powers, it is enough to call the wind and rain. If you want to change the weather, I am afraid it is still a little short of it."

Ao Zhengrong nodded without hesitation, his eyes shining brightly:
"But those are just some obstacles, not insurmountable chasms."

After hearing this, Xu Xing suddenly thought of his name. He was indeed a rising star and full of vigor and vitality. He was quite satisfied with Xiaolong's temperament and laughed:
"Ambitious!"

He sat cross-legged on the ground, patted his knees, and praised:
"Young people, you must take yourself seriously and set your ambitions high, only then can you achieve great success and build a career!" (End of this chapter)
