Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 72 Befriending a genius, stealing the genius's achievements!

Li Changsheng asked many questions, mostly about cultivation methods: "Were all the top-tier cultivation methods in the world created by the three branches of Taoism?"

"Not entirely. The Tai Xuan Dao Venerable passed down the Tai Xuan Dao Scripture, the Xuan Tian Dao Venerable passed down the Xuan Tian Dao Scripture, and the Yu Tian Dao Scripture."

Qingyang explained, "It is the first complete Daoist scripture in the world, which can be cultivated to become an immortal. Later, there were also powerful figures, such as the three Heavenly Emperors."

"The first Heavenly Emperor was the Azure Heaven Dao Venerable, who comprehended the Tai Xuan Dao Scripture and created the Azure Heaven Great Dao Scripture."

"The second Heavenly Emperor was Huangtian Daozun, who comprehended the Xuantian Dao Scripture and created the Huangtian Sacred Scripture."

"The third Heavenly Emperor was the Azure Heaven Dao Venerable, who comprehended the Three Lineages Dao Scripture and created the Azure Heaven Immortal Scripture."

"And there is also the first Buddha of Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha, who founded the Amitabha Sutra."

"And then there's the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Path, the Primordial Heavenly Demon..."

"There is also the Myriad Demon Immortal Scripture of the demon race, which is said to be able to be cultivated by any demon without any obstacles."

"The Immortal Scripture of Ten Thousand Demons?" Li Changsheng blinked.

  

If any demon can cultivate, then I can too?

"Indeed, the Myriad Demon Immortal Scripture is the first complete immortal scripture of the demon race, which can be cultivated to become an immortal. Subsequently, the demon race also created a method to become an immortal based on this scripture."

Qingyang said, "For example, the Ancestral Dragon Scripture of the Dragon Clan, the Nirvana Undying Scripture of the Phoenix Clan..."

Li Changsheng learned a lot from Qingyang's account.

Seeing his interest, Qingyang told him the stories of the Three Heavenly Emperors, Amitabha Buddha of Buddhism, the Demonic Path, and the Demon Race.

These were all ancient and powerful beings who ascended to immortality and became legends.

At this point in the discussion, Li Changsheng asked, "Has anyone recently ascended to immortality?"

"This..." Qingyang paused, unsure of what to say.

Li Changsheng had a bad feeling: "Could it be that no one has ascended to immortality?"

"This humble Taoist knows nothing. Since I began cultivating, apart from those beings from ancient times, I have never heard of anyone becoming an immortal."

Qingyang shook his head and said, "When I get back, I'll flip through the Tai Xuan Ascension Manual and take a look."

"The Ascension Manual?"

"Yes, ascension to immortality is all recorded."

That's a matter for the future, and Li Changsheng won't know for sure in the short term.

"Then this humble Taoist wishes you a speedy ascension to immortality," Li Changsheng said, bowing.

"Becoming an immortal is too far away." Qingyang shook his head and said, "By the way, raising dragonfish here is a bit boring. If you are willing to join the Qingyun Sect, I can help you."

"This place is already excellent; if we join a sect, we'll feel uncomfortable."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "I am a naturally carefree person, and I seek only freedom and ease."

"Fellow Daoist has a magnanimous mind; Qingyang should learn from you," Qingyang said with a smile.

Li Changsheng smiled; talking to Qingyang was truly comfortable.

He was simply afraid of death. Anyway, he was immortal, so as long as there was a method, he could just focus on cultivating.

With Nie Qiu helping to collect cultivation methods, why bother going to the Qingyun Sect?

The two discussed some ancient matters, with Qingyang recounting how powerful and glorious the Dao Venerables and Heavenly Emperors were in ancient times.

Unfortunately, the dynasties they established have all been lost to the annals of history.

Only the traditional doctrines have survived, but most of them are now incomplete.

Even the current versions of the Tai Xuan Dao Jing, Xuan Tian Dao Jing, and Yu Tian Dao Jing are quite different from the original versions.

This discussion lasted for three days and three nights, mostly with Qingyang talking and Li Changsheng listening.

"Do you think that, countless years from now, future generations will talk about a Daoist named Qingyang from ancient times, just like we do?" Li Changsheng asked.

Qingyang was slightly startled and said, "Yes, as long as Tai Xuan is not destroyed, my name will be recorded and passed down, and you will not know it."

"I'll pass," Li Changsheng said with a dry laugh. He only hoped that, after countless years, he could talk about it with future generations.

"However, I aspire to become an immortal and live forever," Qingyang said with a smile.

"Yes, you are a genius of the Tai Xuan lineage, and you will definitely become an immortal in the future," Li Changsheng said.

Of course, whether one can become an immortal depends not only on talent but also on luck.

If you're unlucky and get killed, then forget about becoming an immortal.

Qingyang said, "Alas, there are so many geniuses in the world. When I have no hope of becoming an immortal, I will go to the Great Wilderness to find the Tree of Immortality."

Li Changsheng: "..."

We can chat, but why are we looking for the immortal tree?

Can't you be normal for once?!

"Speaking of which, who wrote the Great Wilderness Classic? Did he eat the Tree of Immortality?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I don't know." Qingyang shook his head and said, "I guess I've seen it, but I'm not sure if I've ever eaten it."

If it weren't for the mention of the Immortal Tree, Li Changsheng would have genuinely considered Qingyang a friend.

But if this Taoist priest wants to eat me, then we can't be friends anymore.

Li Changsheng lost interest and then spoke up, saying that he had gained some insights from seeing him undergo tribulation.

Qingyang didn't bother him any further; it was time for him to return to Tianshui City and see his master.

Li Changsheng disappeared underground and began to comprehend the Five Emperors' Dao Scripture.

The Five Emperors' Daoist Scripture consists of the Green Emperor (Wood Emperor), the Red Emperor (Fire Emperor), the White Emperor (Metal Emperor), the Black Emperor (Water Emperor), and the Yellow Emperor (Earth Emperor).

The Five Elements correspond to the Five Emperors, and the laws of the Five Elements are far more profound than anything else.

The five elements of imperial energy condense within the body, evolving into the Five Elements Emperor, who governs the power of the five elements in the world.

The interplay of the five elements, the evolution of yin and yang, leads to the creation of the Golden Elixir.

Among them is the Five Emperors Dao Sovereign Divine Power, which uses the power of the five elements to absorb all things, and with the method of refining, can directly refine all things into nutrients.

After the evolution of Yin and Yang, I don't know anymore; that's the Precious Pearl Chapter, which Qingyang hasn't read either.

Li Changsheng has already comprehended the power of the Five Elements. He only needs to condense the Five Emperors to achieve the Five Emperors Dao Emperor Divine Power.

"These Five Emperors' Dao Emperor Divine Powers are somewhat similar to one of the legendary Five-Colored Divine Lights."

Li Changsheng pondered.

Of course, the Five-Colored Divine Light does not exist in this world; it was merely a legend in my previous life.

With my current abilities, it's impossible to create one. I should just focus on cultivating the Five Emperors' Dao Scripture.

There is plenty of time to study over the long term; there is no need to rush.

"Niu Wendao, Liu Wuyou, Qingyang."

These three guys flashed through Li Changsheng's mind. Niu Wendao had a powerful bloodline and had brought him many benefits.

Liu Wuyou's remarkable comprehension inspired him.

Qingyang is a genius of the Tai Xuan realm, with extensive knowledge and mastery of many cultivation methods.

"If I can't compare to these geniuses, then I'll learn from them."

Li Changsheng made a decision.

Befriend geniuses and steal their achievements!

My idea is brilliant!

Moreover, the world is never short of geniuses; what era doesn't produce a few prodigies?

All you need to do is live well, learn from their teachings, gain their insights, and organize and transform them into your own.

One day, I will be able to step over all the geniuses and become an immortal tree that no one can defeat!

He calmly circulated the Longevity Dao Scripture, comprehended the Five Emperors Dao Emperor Scripture, and also gained insights into Qingyang's Golden Elixir.

However, now a problem arises.

The Five Emperors Daohuang Scripture relies on the five internal organs of the human body, corresponding to the five elements, to condense the five emperors of the five elements. Where do the five internal organs of the human body come from?

Is everything stored in the dantian?

Having mastered the power of the five elements, he could also condense the Five Elements Emperor, but his cultivation method would need to be changed.

The foundation, however, cannot be changed. It is based on the Xuan Tian Dao Jing (Mysterious Heaven Dao Scripture) and the visualization of one's own world. This is fundamental.

Li Changsheng remained indifferent to worldly affairs, content to be a reclusive cultivator in the mountains, studying the Five Emperors' Dao Scripture.

Of course, feeding the arowana is essential; it's part of the job.

However, you can prepare some spiritual liquid in advance and feed it to your child once every three days.

He wasn't concerned about what was happening in Tianshui City; Liu Wuyou and the others should be hiding.

If they don't hide it, Li Changsheng can't do anything about it.

This involves the Primordial Pearl Realm, which is beyond the reach of someone like him who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

While Li Changsheng was in seclusion, battle broke out again in Tianshui City.

Inside Hengyun City, monks from Hengsha Temple emerged and joined forces with Wuchen Daoren to fight against the Blood Lotus Demon Cult.

The human cultivators of Tianshui City also participated in the extermination of the Blood Lotus Demonic Cult.

The demon kings on the North Heavenly River side did not participate, but the lesser demons joined in.

The little demons joining the battle was their own idea; their demon king had already given the order, and they couldn't be restrained. What could they do?

Moreover, these lesser demons are indeed foreign monsters, not the demons of the Northern Heavenly River.

Liu Wuyou was extremely excited about the war.

He quickly led the mountain demons to the battlefield to collect the corpses.

This is excellent fertilizer; wouldn't it be a waste not to pick it up?

Liu Wuyou's strength also improved rapidly after receiving the Five Elements Insights from Li Changsheng.

Coupled with her astonishing comprehension, she took increasingly wild paths, and the whole tree became more and more eccentric.

With the Spirit Transformation Technique, the improvement is incredibly fast.

Of course, they were also very cautious.

When some demons or humans discover them, they often run away before they can even make a move.

Tianshui City protested to Beitianhe, demanding that Liu Wuyou and his group stop their despicable behavior.

The Moon-Gazing Demon King immediately reprimanded them, and then both sides discovered that the number of monsters stealing corpses was actually increasing.

The Blood Lotus Demonic Sect and Tianshui City fought back and forth, and discovered that the demons of the Northern Heavenly River were growing stronger.

Tianshui City wanted to stop the war, but the Blood Lotus Demonic Sect disagreed.

For the Blood Lotus Demon Cult, these dead monsters were not their followers.

As long as their followers don't all die out, it's fine.

Dragon Pool.

Li Changsheng immersed himself in the power of the Five Elements and, relying on his previous foundation, finally managed to correct his cultivation technique after three months.

Since one does not have internal organs, one should store the power of the five elements within one's body.

If one considers oneself as the world, and the Five Elements as the foundation of the world, then one should fill every corner of the body with the power of the Five Elements.

The eerie blood tree once again emitted a dazzling array of colors.

Every leaf and every branch contains the power of the five elements, which eventually converge within the Dao Yuan.

The power of the five elements is condensed, and an unparalleled aura permeates the air, like a king of the world, the emperor of the five elements.

The Five Elements Imperial Aura!

His Five Elements Formation also improved accordingly.

The Tree of Immortality sways, like a supreme being in the world, capable of commanding the five elements of heaven and earth.

The five elements' imperial energy, evolving into the emperor, requires time to accumulate.

Li Changsheng had no shortage of time, accumulating the Five Elements Imperial Qi every day.

My relationship with the arowana is getting better and better.

A month passed, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by. Li Changsheng had condensed the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor.

Visualizing his own world, he saw a small, verdant sapling growing within him; this was the Wood Emperor he had condensed.

The sapling's appearance is also his original form.

With the first one secured, the rest will follow quickly, since he absorbs the power of the five elements daily, rather than just one type of power.

Another month passed, and he condensed the Crimson Emperor Fire Emperor and the Black Emperor Water Emperor.

As these three emperors coalesced, he felt that he was about to step into the peak of Foundation Establishment.

It was only then that he realized the benefits of discussing the Dao with Qingyang.

The path of cultivation is smooth; before the Golden Elixir is formed, everything is clear.

This saved him several years of arduous training!

Although he didn't break through on the spot, he gained a lot of insights. The function of the Five Emperors' Dao Emperor Scripture was to help him connect all these insights and completely make them his own.

His Crimson Emperor Fire King is also absorbing the essence of the sun, moving towards the true fire of the sun.

The Black Emperor Water King absorbs the moonlight and advances towards the power of Yin.

A month later, Li Changsheng condensed the White Emperor Golden Emperor and successfully entered the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Hiding underground, it absorbed the power of the earth and spent half a month condensing into the Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign.

The Five Emperors' Daoist Scripture has been completed!

His Five Elements Formation has also transformed into the Five Emperors Dao Emperor Formation, with its power multiplied!

Feeling the vast and surging Dao Yuan within his body, the Golden Core was within reach.

However, it still requires the Five Elements to transform Yin and Yang.

He gained some understanding of the Five Elements and their interaction with Yin and Yang during his tribulation in Qingyang. With the help of the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements, it was not difficult for him to achieve this.

First, master self-improvement, then begin to transform Yin and Yang, overcome the tribulation of lightning, and achieve the Golden Elixir.

The Five Emperors' divine powers flowed throughout his body, emanating the power of the Five Elements, absorbing the surrounding vegetation and instantly refining it into the essence of the plants.

"The Five Emperors' Divine Powers, based on their own world, are quite similar to the Five-Colored Divine Light."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment.

Combined with the world foundation of the Xuan Tian Dao Jing and the divine powers of the Five Emperors Dao Sovereigns, it absolutely surpasses the original version.

Furthermore, he himself is blessed by the Five Emperors Dao Sovereigns.

The illusion array has also been improved, and it can construct a small-world illusion that makes it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.

At this point, he felt that the Stone Finger Rune was not keeping up, after all, it was only a little finger rune.

Reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment is already the limit.

We'll see if we can find any runes related to the ancient stone demon later.

Li Changsheng will continue his seclusion until he reaches the Golden Core stage!

I'll continue living my good life. Even if Tianshui City is beaten to a pulp, it has nothing to do with me.

Time flies, and two years have passed.

In the past two years, Qingyang has visited several times, and they have discussed and exchanged ideas, with both sides gaining a lot.

Neither side mentioned the battle with the Blood Lotus Demonic Cult; they simply discussed their beliefs and made friends, occasionally exchanging knowledge about raising arowanas.

On this day, five saplings swayed, releasing the five elements of imperial energy, which intertwined to form a yin-yang sapling.

The Yin-Yang Tree Sapling, located at the center of the five saplings, draws upon the power of the five elements and exudes an imperial aura.

At the very moment the Yin-Yang Tree seedlings were formed, Li Changsheng also sensed the Golden Core realm.

Without hesitation, he fled.

Stay away from Beitianhe and Tianshui City.

How can you let outsiders see something like undergoing tribulation?

Upon arriving in a dense forest, his keen senses confirmed that there were no monsters nearby, so he unleashed his full power.

bang

Above the sky, tribulation clouds surged, and the power of thunder weaved through them, with the majestic might of heaven covering an area of ​​a thousand meters.

"Qingyang fears no tribulation of lightning, and neither do I!"

Li Changsheng was very confident that he was now stronger than Qingyang was when he was undergoing his tribulation, especially in terms of his body!

However, I cannot be as high-profile as Qingyang in ascending to heaven to undergo tribulation.

Even if you hide peacefully underground, the thunder will find you.

Rumble

More than ten bolts of lightning, each twice as thick as Qingyang's previous tribulation, struck down with terrifying power.

Li Changsheng's expression suddenly changed. This pressure was strange; it seemed much stronger than Qingyang's.

"God, are you so cruel to trees?"

Li Changsheng quickly activated the Five Elements Dao Emperor Formation to defend himself.

轰咔

However, more than ten streams of water evaporated the soil and landed on Li Changsheng.

Terrifying forces intertwined, and dazzling five-element light flowed, resisting the power of the lightning tribulation.

The Five Emperors Tree Saplings appeared, empowering the Five Emperors Dao Emperor Array.

"This lightning tribulation is abnormal!"
