Chapter 112 During the four months of practice, the leader
The ancient gods held an alchemy ceremony. They refined various immortality elixirs and shared them with each other. It was a pleasure for friends to gather together to discuss Taoism.
The style of Tongxuan Realm is not that high, but the Eight Views, the most orthodox religion in the world, invited two disciples from the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts to participate in the Eight Views Dharma Assembly. This is still something that makes many people feel honored. .
Especially for the many low- and middle-level disciples in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace, their fate and that of their families are closely related to the sect. Therefore, Xue Yuzhen, mother and daughter Yun Ling'er will be happy when they go out to play during this time. Many, because he has gained the heartfelt respect of many people in the Heavenly Palace.
There are only a few things that low- and middle-level sect disciples can do to enhance their sect’s reputation:
Breaking through to a higher realm in a shorter time, but after so many years of development in the Tongxuan world, this has become very difficult. Hidden Sword Palace, Bajing Jiao, Xiantian Sect, and the Western Tianhe Orthodox Sect all have disciples. I think It is necessary to condense evil spirits and refine the gang to achieve its true form in the shortest possible time, win prestige for one's own sect, and gain more attention from the sect for oneself. As a result, evil spirits will go astray, and the light skills will be wasted, and the heavy ones will be destroyed. He exploded and died on the spot.
Furthermore, some monastic geniuses only need three or five years of hard work to achieve great success in the level of Ningsha, and only seven or eight years of hard work in the level of refining Gang. Ordinary sect disciples think It is almost impossible to keep up with this speed of practice.
In addition, creating improved techniques and sword techniques, defeating the good/evil predecessors, and refining the golden elixir are all fatal matters.
In contrast, the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference has both benefits and safety. At the same time, the number of participating disciples from each sect will also affect the overall evaluation of each sect in the Tongxuan world.
For example, in the past few years, there have been several sects in Xuanmen, with solid foundations and disciples. In addition, the Tianhe Orthodox Sect has closed its sect and closed the mountain. There are already faint voices in the Tongxuan world that want to conquer Tianhe. Kick out the ranks of the eight top righteous sects.
Although this is actually impossible, as long as Zhenren Jiao is still alive, it will be meaningless no matter how the second- or third-rate sects in Xuanmen make attempts.
But Zhenren Jiao doesn’t care, how can you not care if you are a disciple of Tianhe?
In the Thunder Fire Hall of the Heavenly Palace, long jade tables were intertwined with people drinking wine. On the day when Lu Cheng received the invitation for the Eight Views Dharma Conference, he had already closed the door to thank the guests.
But other people can avoid it, but it is difficult to avoid it when the teacher, fellow brothers and sisters come to visit.
Feasting and drinking, discussing the Tao.
Among the people who came to congratulate Lu Cheng, in addition to the second senior sister Wu Lingjun and the younger junior sister Xiao Yuxue, there were also the fifth senior brother Niu Meng and the sixth senior brother Zhong Liling, all of whom were more advanced than Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng, his concubine Xue Yuzhen, and his daughter Yun Linger hosted a banquet to entertain him warmly.
"Senior brother, I have cultivated the method of mixing beasts to refine the body, and the powerful supernatural powers of all beasts. Today, I will take advantage of the wine to let my junior brother taste it."
After the wine was drunk at the banquet, I said He walked into the spacious banquet hall with Niu Meng.
“Get up!”
His tongue burst out with spring thunder, and with the movement of his magic power, his body suddenly transformed into a hundred-foot giant. Huge horns grew on his forehead, and thick bear skin appeared on his skin. His body was strong and his strength was infinite. He had cultivated to a high level and could lift mountains and cross seas. , with unstoppable courage.
Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, who were also at the banquet, almost dropped their wine glasses in shock when they saw such a change for the first time.
Although they have some knowledge, this is the first time they have seen the exquisite Taoism of a top sect up close.
As Niu Meng performed his boxing skills, the muscles, bones, skin and flesh all over his body were tangled and moving like a wild python. The boxing skills seemed rough, but in fact they concealed exquisite killing moves, which were extremely sharp.
In a real fight, Niu Meng will not change so hugely easily, but in his normal form he can also exert 70% to 80% of the defense and power of a hundred-foot giant. Once it breaks out, he does not need any spells, just He can control the world with martial arts, and few can control him.
Lucheng has the Pulse-breaking Sword Qi and the Xiantian Yi Qi of the Xiantian Sect to capture the essence of mana. The mana is condensed, which is actually very suitable for practicing these close-quarters martial arts. In fact, in "Nine Heavens", there are also body-training monks who can fight in close quarters.
It’s just that Lu Cheng felt that it would be silly to fight with his fists if he didn’t have a sword, so although he would gain a lot, he cherished his body and never refused to use it.
Now that the mana sword energy is almost as sharp as a real flying sword, Lu Cheng feels that he can understand its essence and integrate it into his own fighting method.
“If you have time, you can go to Mangniu Hall to ask for advice. Niu Meng’s martial arts should be the best in the Heavenly Palace besides Master.”
“Old Jiu, senior brother, I am I practice the Heaven-Swallowing Slaughter. No matter whether the opponent is an army or a sword, I will swallow them all and move them into my Ten Thousand Beast Formation.”
The fifth senior brother Niu Meng finished the drill and shrunk back to the banquet. The sixth senior brother Zhongli Ling appeared again. At this time, Lu Cheng still didn't know that these were several senior sisters and brothers who specially trained themselves for the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly. Years of experience in Taoism are displayed.
On a larger scale, Lu Cheng's participation in the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly represented the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Sect. On a smaller scale, if the senior sisters and brothers performed like this, it would also help improve their impression in the master's mind.
Of course, Lu Cheng accepted the benefits, so Lu Cheng also had to keep some gratitude in his heart.
Zhong Liling was unusually tall and tall, with a head full of light golden hair that fell loosely around his shoulders. Just by standing in front of the banquet, he looked majestic, like a god or general.
He asked Lu Cheng, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er to cast spells on him as much as they wanted.
Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen looked at each other and smiled, each using his own sword energy. Yun Ling'er used all his magic power and even sacrificed a magic weapon.
However, Zhongli Ling sneered slightly, opened his mouth suddenly, and took a breath!
"The wild lion swallows the sky and kills!"
Roar.
Accompanied by the roar of the beast, the image of a mad lion opened its huge mouth. The sword energy of Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen, and the magical weapons of Yun Ling'er turned into streaks of light and fell into Zhongli Ling's big body. In his mouth, he swallowed everything directly!
Click, click.
"Well, little girl, the golden bell magic weapon you just made is good, crunchy and refreshing."
Zhongli Ling laughed, but he was most grateful to Yun Ling'er who tried his best. I had a good impression, and seeing the distressed look on the little girl's face, I simply took out a bunch of magic weapons from the Qiankun bag and pushed them to her.
“Oh, why do you spend so much money?” Xue Yu was really embarrassed, but she also knew that it was hard to refuse such an occasion.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhong.” Lu Cheng said casually, most of his thoughts were on the method just now.
For Zhongli Ling, at his level, he would not lack these low-level magic weapons.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhong.”
Yun Linger took the magic weapon with a slightly happy expression.
“The mad lion swallows the sky and kills! Don’t be afraid of thousands of tricks, just be afraid of one perfect move! Although Senior Brother Zhong said that he is only proficient in this one move, the power of this move is not as good as his cultivation level. He can kill anyone with one strike, even if his opponent is outnumbered, he is still a great threat to someone with much higher magic power."
At the banquet, Zhongli ordered him to return to the banquet.
Finally, the second senior sister Wu Lingjun held the wine glass and said with a smile:
“Ninth junior brother, senior sister, this period of time is a critical period for practicing the true form, so I will not practice Taoism with you. Just give Ling'er a little one Give me a gift."
As he spoke, Wu Lingyun shook the wine glass and poured it down. The nectar-like wine was rolled into a ball and frozen out of thin air, forming a picture of a cold dragon spitting out beads. Lifelike and extremely delicate.
"Thank you, senior sister, for the gift."
Lu Chengdai Yun Ling'er took the ice ball, feeling the flow of energy in it and seemed to have some enlightenment.
The monks of the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts practiced the Taoism of Ten Thousand Beasts. Wu Lingjun, Niu Meng, and Zhongli ordered the three of them to demonstrate their Taoism of Ten Thousand Beasts to Lu Cheng to enhance his foundation. Although later in the banquet, Lu Cheng also went on stage to practice a set of swords. tactic.
But none of the three people present were proficient in swordsmanship. No matter how wonderfully Lu Cheng's sword skills were performed, the gains of the three were relatively limited.
"Senior Brother Lu, although I did not get an invitation to the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference, Master Jindan will receive invitations to all previous Dharma Conferences. Daddy has promised to let me go to increase my knowledge."
When the banquet ended that night and everyone left in the clouds, Xiao Yuxue suddenly turned her head and conveyed her spiritual thoughts to Lu Cheng like this.
This is normal. There are probably no more than twenty real people with golden elixirs in the entire Tongxuan Realm. Only monks who have formed high-grade golden elixirs can be called real people.
Nine turns of the golden elixir, no regrets when the elixir is completed.
The first to third grades are top-grade golden elixirs. The other monks who form alchemy are only masters of elixir formation. Some people say that the gap between the master of elixir formation and the master of Jindan is the same as the gap between the ninth level of refining and the master of Jindan. Same size. Although this statement is an exaggeration, it is not completely unreasonable.
Every time the Eight Views Dharma Assembly is held, Jindan Masters will be invited. These masters usually do not attend, but they will send their own disciples to taste the Jade Xuyan Dao Fruit.
This time, Xiao Yuxue’s sister and senior brother will participate in the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference. Master Huang Longzi has no reason not to let Xiao Yuxue go to increase his knowledge and accumulate knowledge.
On the premise that safety is relatively guaranteed, this is indeed a grand event in the Tongxuan world.
The next day, another palace servant sent an invitation. Lu Cheng opened it and saw that it was Senior Sister Xiao Yuhong, the master of Mingxin Hall, inviting him to go.
"Senior sister participated in an Eight Scenery Dharma Ceremony and received the four-character comment 'Jade Sword and Flying Rainbow'. When I was asked to go this time, it should be to remind me of my experience so that I can be prepared."
Lu Cheng thought for a while and figured out the cause and effect of the matter. He immediately changed his clothes, put on a linen Taoist robe and sandals with a wooden hairpin, and headed to Senior Sister Xiao Yuhong's residence in Mingxin Hall with his sword.
The Heavenly Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts occupies a large area, but it is not big enough to set up a teleportation array. After a cup of tea, Lu Cheng flew to the front of the Mingxin Palace. After being notified, he entered the palace. Under the guidance, they arrived all the way to the backyard of Mingxin Palace, where Xiao Yuhong practiced his daily magic.
Pushing open the door and entering, Lu Cheng saw this beautiful beauty again.
There is nothing in the simple stone cultivation room except a futon and the female cultivator in white clothes, which is different from Xiao Yuxue's weak and graceful figure, who can only protect and pitifully protect her.
Xiao Yuhong is sharp and clear, just like the brilliance on a sharp sword, firm and sharp. Therefore, even though her appearance is almost exactly the same as Xiao Yuxue's, her completely different temperament makes people unmistakable.
"Junior Brother Ninth, you are here."
Xiao Yuhong lightly hit the stone bed and flew up. When she came to Lu Cheng's side, she walked out, and Lu Cheng naturally followed behind.
Xiao Yuhong is straightforward and doesn't like to talk in circles. So she directly mentioned the business:
"My father asked me, junior brother, to cultivate at a certain level because the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly is divided into two major stages of foundation building and condensation, which are divided into six small stages. Junior brother, you have the peak cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and you can obtain it in the six small stages. Ranking, even...Father hopes that you can make further progress." When Yan said this, Xiao Yuhong looked at Lu Cheng deeply. "In previous years, the masters of the eight landscapes prepared nine treasures, which will be of great benefit to future practice and even to the sect. Junior disciples should do their best."
Lu Chengwen After a brief thought, he understood the rules of the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly:
One session for the foundation-building monks, one session each for the early stage monks, the middle stage monks, and one session for the late stage monks.
There is one battle for Condensing and Refining monks, one each for early stage, middle stage and late stage monks. This is two big fields and six small fields.
The Master of the Eight Views will prepare nine treasures as a bonus. If Lu Cheng breaks through in his cultivation during this period, not only will he be at a disadvantage in the battle with the late-stage foundation-building monks, but he will also inevitably get one less treasure. Instead, he will be like now. Generally suppressing cultivation, according to Master Huang Longzi's wishes, let Lu Cheng protect himself, and finally, depending on the situation, compete for the leader of the monks in the later stage of foundation building.
“Having a master with profound cultivation and extensive knowledge can really avoid many detours and take advantage of countless advantages on the road of cultivation.”
Lu Cheng sighed in his heart, but He didn't notice that he was led all the way to the spacious back mountain by Xiao Yuhong.
When Xiao Yuhong turned around, he noticed his surroundings.
“I know that my junior brother is very talented and has excellent swordsmanship, but all the monks who can participate in the Eight Views Dharma Assembly are all leaders of the younger generation in the Tongxuan world. We have the expectations of our master and we should work hard to achieve our goals. Yes.”
"Junior brother, if you have free time, you can practice swordsmanship with me in the near future, learn from each other's experiences, and help each other."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng held the tactics and bowed his head, naturally he would not refuse.
Fellow Taoists in the same realm can benefit greatly from frank exchanges with each other, not to mention that Xiao Yuhong in front of him is already at the sixth level of Ningsha.
She is not many years older than Xiao Yuxue, but her personality is completely different from that of her sister.
What he did today was obviously hoping to help him win the title of the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly and add glory to the Heavenly Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"In this period of time, I have to ask my senior sister for advice."
Xiao Yuhong is only five years older than Xiao Yuxue, but her magic power and Taoism are much higher than that of her sister. This is because of "Ningsha Baodan" , tempering the true form" this realm, with the help of the essence of the true breath of heaven and earth, the magic power can be surged. On the other hand, it is also because of her solid foundation in Taoism that she has entered the realm very quickly.
Lu Cheng estimated that if it were Xiao Yuxue, Master Huang Longzi and Mrs. Baoxiang would have to keep an eye on her, fearing that she would be greedy for merit and rush forward, cutting off her path.
At the same time, in the Shiwanda Mountain deep in the Southern Wasteland, in the Moyun Cave of Yinshan Mountain, the master of the Southern Demon Cult, Master Yinshan, was sitting sideways on the throne, scolding his disciples:
" At the last Eight Scenery Dharma Conference, you didn’t bring me any of the secret treasures to overcome the tribulation. If you come back empty-handed this time, don’t blame me for not caring about the relationship between master and disciple..."
"Master, please rest assured."
Under the Yinshan Master, all the disciples, headed by the third disciple Bai Luzi, kowtowed and responded to the order in unison.
The Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly, the twelve authentic sects in the world (the four major demon sects are also authentic), and the Sixteen Evil Sects, actually had quite a lot of disciples participating in it. The Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace had fewer disciples, because of Huanglong He attained Taoism very early and lived in the Western Regions with his wife to receive blessings. He practiced immortality and enjoyed a happy life. He had few disciples at a very early age.
Zhenren Yinshan attained Taoism relatively late and founded the Southern Demonic Cult later. Therefore, most of the disciples he taught were able to meet the upper limit of the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly. They were relatively large in number. The magic power is deep and extremely advantageous.
In addition, among the second and third-rate sects in Xuanmen, as well as overseas loose cultivators, there will also be outstanding figures who receive invitations.
Therefore, the same scene, similar situations are also taking place in the mountain gates of various sects. Although ordinary Danjie masters do not have the fourth and ninth tribulations, they also have demon tribulations, longevity tribulations, external tribulations, etc., and they do not The magic power of Jindan Zhenren often turns into ashes when the calamity comes, and hundreds of years of practice are completely destroyed.
So they also asked the disciples to compete for the secret treasure of overcoming the tribulation, and promised countless benefits. Participating in the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference is the easiest and safest way to obtain such secrets and secret treasures. Of course, they must try their best. .
Four months later, in the Heavenly Palace of All Beasts in the Western Region, in the wilderness and dense forests of the back mountains.
The bright sunlight shines through the treetops and shines variegatedly on the forest path paved with mud and stone. Two figures follow each other and rush through the dense forest like an electric current.
The attire of the woman in the attire is fluttering, her black hair is like a waterfall, her eyes are cold and focused, the jade rainbow sword in her hand turns into a stream of bright sword aura along with the deep and profound evil in her body, and the edge of the sword is It's so powerful that it can cut through the void and break through any obstacles.
Her opponent, on the other hand, was a young Taoist with five-colored brilliance flowing around him. The five five-element flying swords surrounding him had almost lost their sword form and turned into five faint and looming brilliant brilliance, attacking and defending. Stalemate.
锵.
The two men were about to retreat at the first touch. Their swords faced each other, like an anvil striking each other, and a deafening sword roar erupted.
The fierceness spread with determination, causing many forest leaves around to sway and fly down.
These two people are, of course, Xiao Yuhong and Lu Cheng.
Xiao Yuhong originally planned to just mention the situation in Lucheng for a few days, and then she would prepare for the battle with all her strength, adjusting her body and mind to a relatively perfect state before the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference.
It’s just inexplicable that this sword fight with vastly different cultivation levels continues like this.
Even Xiao Yuhong herself has to admit that in the past four months, she has gained a lot and is getting better and better. Junior Brother Lu's talent in swordsmanship is far above his own.
Xiao Yuhong's magic power is powerful and profound. Every time she performs the Jade Dragon Sword Technique, the light of the sword is like moving a mountain and overwhelming it, with astonishing power.
After Lu Cheng managed to catch more than a dozen swords, he felt that the power of Xiao Yuhong's flying sword seemed to be sharp, but in fact it was smooth and flawless.
The sword energy of the flying sword is either torn, pulled, pushed, or submerged in the astonishing concentration of heaven and earth energy in Guizang Mountain. The flow of the sword and the energy almost coincides with the ups and downs.
It looks like wielding a sword, but in fact, the sword is used to guide Qi, and the spirit is used to control the sword. It is the most superior and orthodox Taoist method of refining gods and controlling Qi swordsmanship.
"The nature of dragon? It seems that this senior sister Xiao is planning to cultivate the blood of the true dragon in her body, and use the way of sword to interpret the way of dragon flying to the nine heavens."
After more than a dozen swords, the vitality of heaven and earth As Xiao Yuhong's sword power flows and moves, when it reaches a certain limit, Lu Cheng is almost becoming the enemy of a small world. With his current level of magic power, how can he stop it?
If you can't block it, then you won't block it anymore.
Lu Cheng fiercely attacked Xiao Yuhong with a sword, and then his entire body "disappeared" out of thin air under Xiao Yuhong's induction!
Everything you see is swords and flowers. Where is the enemy?
At this moment, Xiao Yuhong's sword power has been pushed to its peak. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is as if she is holding a small square of the world and preparing to hit people with a round swing. This kind of sword power She should have been unstoppable, but she couldn't find Lu Cheng for a while.
Lu Cheng just struck with a fierce sword, and the force of the sword affected Xiao Yuhong's mind for a moment, and then disappeared. Xiao Yuhong knew that he could not hide for long, but he could not survive in this state either. how long.
“He finally mastered the Five Elements Sword Escape Technique!”
There are five commonly used third-level high-grade flying swords in Lucheng: Chunjun, Yaoshi, Baiyu, Chiyan, and Zangfeng.
With the foundation of his own five qi, and the clear connection between these five flying swords and his own human sword, he cultivated the five elements of escape: Jinlan escape, water fantasy escape, wood hidden escape, fire escape, thick escape Earth Escape.
The Five Elements Escape Technique itself is not an extremely brilliant escape method. It has been circulated in the Tongxuan world for a long time, but it showed amazing effectiveness and power in Lu Cheng's hands.
The key to sword fighting is to avoid the real and attack the weak. I can attack the enemy, but the enemy cannot attack me. Lu Cheng initially relied on the magic of heavenly soldiers and generals to protect himself, and now he has mastered the art of five-element sword escape. With Xiao Yuhong's deep foundation and spiritual consciousness, it would be impossible to see through his hidden form in a short period of time.
At the critical moment, Xiao Yuhong could only choose to make a decision on the spur of the moment, roughly guessing the most likely direction, and strike down with a sword.
The Jade Rainbow Sword carried a force of energy like a small mountain, cracking the ground with a bang and creating deep and long sword marks that spread out.
Spread the sword energy. If Lu Cheng is indeed hiding in this direction, then even the aftermath of the sword energy will make him appear.
But the reality is that Lu Cheng suddenly appeared behind him, slashed his sword, and the tip of the sword left pure sword marks in the air, like flying snow all over the sky, and the cold sword energy filled the air. It was close to Xiao Yuhong's vital point.
The sword light slashed at the evil spirit of the real dragon, and the dragon shape flew around and roared violently.
“Go!”
Xiao Yuhong scolded lightly, and using the sword technique in her hand, the Jade Rainbow Sword suddenly turned into a platinum rainbow, crossing the sky and colliding head-on with the flying snow in the sky.
锵.
The two powerful flying swords collided fiercely, erupting into a bright sword that rippled like a spread. The surrounding trees were shaken to the point where their leaves fell like rain, and even the grass and trees on the mountain trembled at this moment. Incessantly.
In the end, Lu Cheng withdrew the white jade sword, and Xiao Yuhong also withdrew the jade rainbow sword. The two of them each took a step back, and that was all.
As a monk in the Ningsha Realm, when his spiritual consciousness and magic power were stronger than the opponent's, he was killed by the opponent's sword and his body was seriously damaged. No matter what, he lost. With Xiao Yuhong's character Of course she won’t deny it, but she still has doubts in her heart:
"I've wanted to ask for a long time, why do you guess my judgment correctly every time, and then suddenly draw the sword when I least expect it? Do I have some instinctive habits that I don't know about?"
"That's not true. It's just that if you fight swords with others more times, you will naturally know a few blind spots of most people. Especially if you are familiar with the opponent's character, it will be easy to judge the opponent. Fang’s judgment.”
“I always feel that you said something very powerful with very plain words. Forget it, with your cultivation and swordsmanship, Ninth Junior Brother, it shouldn’t be difficult to fulfill my father’s expectations.”
We have been getting along almost day and night for four months. Even with Xiao Yuhong's slightly cold temperament, she has gradually become familiar with him. She greatly admires Lu Cheng's talent in swordsmanship.
Even saying "it shouldn't be difficult", Xiao Yuhong just sighed softly. It was not difficult for Lu Cheng to win the title of the middle-stage foundation building or even the late-stage foundation building, but for him Xiao Yuhong herself does not have enough confidence.
She wanted to share the burden for her father and obtain a secret treasure to overcome the tribulation. However, in previous Eight Scenery Dharma Assemblies, this kind of treasure was the most sought-after and the most difficult to obtain.
"Senior Sister Xiao seems to have a lot on her mind. She and Junior Sister Yuxue are simply two extremes in personality."
Lu Cheng could faintly sense that Xiao Yuhong had a lot on his mind, but he also I don't know what the specific matter is, so I naturally have no way to explain it. And the thing that makes Xiao Yuhong so embarrassed doesn't seem to be what I should ask or worry about now.
After the sword fight, the two returned to the Heavenly Palace of Beasts together with their swords.
