Chapter 216 Opportunity, a Dream for Hundreds of Years (2)
In this endless sea of darkness, there is a glimmer of light looming in the distance.
It was a group of deep-sea volcanoes, a strange place where life and death coexisted.
Lava overflows from the crater and spreads along the seafloor. Its temperature is high enough to evaporate the surrounding seawater, forming spaces filled with water vapor.
In this intersection of scorching heat and cold, there are some strange creatures showing tenacious vitality.
A huge octopus and a giant crab were fighting for territory. Their arms and legs were entangled, and the battle of strength caused ripples in the surrounding seawater. The eyes of the octopus sparkle with cunning, while the crab's carapace is indestructible. Their battle seems to be the main theme of this dark sea.
Deeper, there are shark-like creatures cruising. Their bodies draw elegant arcs in the deep water, seeming to be looking for their next prey.
At this moment, a red shadow as slender as a needle ejected from under the cover of the sea sand and bit a light yellow sea snake seven inches away. Of course, the sea snake struggled desperately. , trying to shake it off, but the little red dragon bites tightly and never lets go, and even moves his body to use force to tear the wound wider.
A moment later, the light yellow sea snake's blood flowed away, and its vitality was cut off. Lu Chenggang handed over control of his body and allowed the little dragon's independent consciousness to devour the flesh and blood.
The Fire Domain in the Sea, this is Lu Cheng’s last choice of shelter. The extremely special environment here means that most monsters will not come here.
Even the dragon turtle with deep magic power will still feel very uncomfortable when he comes here to fight against the power of heaven and earth.
Of course, there are still some fire monsters gathering here, but compared with those numerous threats and the dangers that are always present, of course, the former is easier to deal with.
“Did you remember what I did just now? In the process of hunting, hide, wait, and make a surprise attack. If you can attack from the back, attack from the back. If you can attack from the side, attack from the side. Unless you are about to starve to death, otherwise, even if you let go Never fight head-on with your prey.
Don’t follow your example. Have you forgotten how miserable it is?
Once injured in nature, even minor injuries may lead to fatal consequences. Death.”
At this moment, if there is a monk with considerable magical power here, and he looks down with his Dharma eyes, he can see a red earthworm-like little dragon, with the faint phantom of a Taoist emerging.
Return to his teachings, Lu Cheng would not let this little dragon start to hunt on his own now. His father had no choice back then.
After the little dragon was full of blood and flesh, it found a nearby conch shell, got into it and fell asleep. There was a faint bloody Tai Chi hovering around its body.
This body is used alternately by Xiaojiao and Lu Cheng. Most of the time, Lu Cheng hands the body back to Xiaojiao. He will only use it when facing great danger or predators. Dragon body.
During most of the rest of the time when nothing happened, Lu Cheng was using his own consciousness to guide his energy and blood, sensing and memorizing all the information about the fire dragon:
Observe its body, bones, flesh, skin, scales, tendons, veins, flow, blood, liver, lungs, intestines, and stomach, and think of its spirit, rhyme, essence, energy, movement, stillness, joy, happiness, anger, sorrow.
This is the so-called visualization. A skilled monk can even change the meridians of his whole body and change his physical body through visualization and some necessary techniques.
Cultivating the truth through falsehood refers to this.
Dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon power, dragon god, dragon breath, visualize and remember.
It is said that the dragon is the descendant of the real dragon and the demonic bird Golden Rooster. Although it cannot speak clouds and speak or benefit the people, its physical body is innately powerful and it can also cause floods to submerge an area.
Many people laugh at the true dragon clan, who can discover the beauty of all things and leave blood descendants indiscriminately. It is said that dragons give birth to nine sons, but nine means the number is extremely high...
But in fact, even here, In the world of Tongxuan, there are also stories about the love between humans and monsters. Some demon cultivators with strong bloodline and golden elixir realm can transform into human beings.
So it is actually normal for the True Dragon clan to leave blood descendants from various races. In a world where one can cultivate and become an immortal, this is not a moral stain.
However, the True Dragon Clan itself does not like these mixed-blood dragons very much. Lu Cheng is watching the little red dragon at this moment, and is also trying to discover its true dragon bloodline, not the demon bird Golden Rooster. of blood.
The bloody Tai Chi circled around the little dragon's body. It was both a induction and a draw of blood with intention, stimulating its potential, allowing it to grow up quickly and revive its bloodline.
A few years later, the small dragon, which was originally as thin as an earthworm, has now grown into a thick red dragon like a sea snake.
With a monk like Lu Cheng who is good at fighting standing by and not asserting his personal teachings, even if he only uses the body of the dragon clan, there is nothing left in this deep sea volcano area except for those monster beasts that have been practicing for many years. He is the opponent of this red dragon, and his survival crisis has finally been lifted.
“After the dragon transforms into a dragon, its physical strength should be higher than that of a real dragon in the same realm. This is a gift from many years of practice. Although the starting point is lower, it is still a good thing.”
In fact, of course there are more disadvantages than advantages, but now that we are a dragon, we naturally have to look at the advantages of everything.
While Lu Chengyan was speaking, the red dragon suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.
Lu Cheng noticed this, so he looked over and saw a group of fire monsters, such as fire toads and fire fish, swallowing the earth fire evil near the flowing magma.
With this kind of practice, the evil spirit in them is also increasing little by little.
"Teacher, when will you teach me how to practice Taoism? I also want to become stronger."
The red dragon turned its head and looked at the Taoist who only it could see.
And Lu Cheng saw a trace of hatred in its eyes. Dragons can pass on part of their memories. Back then, the red dragon sensed that Lu Cheng had killed his mother, so he ran away. , had not communicated with each other for hundreds of years, until he was almost alive and entrusted the only blood descendant of his wife to Lu Cheng.
Of course, it didn't hate Lu Cheng, because it knew that its mother had trained it to devour itself and purify its bloodline.
The little red dragon in front of Lu Cheng also firmly remembers the scene of his parents being killed by the dragon turtle. The dragon clan will remember the blood feud even if it lasts thousands of years, until The day I fully repay myself.
“When you grow older, the Taoism I teach you will be difficult and very hard, but if you want to avenge your parents, this is the only way.
I don’t The method will always be with you, and my time in this world is also limited."
As he said this, Lu Cheng subconsciously looked at the sky above the water.
"Teacher, where are you going?"
The red dragon asked anxiously after hearing this.
For my parents, it was only a one-time relationship, but for the teacher in front of me, it was a life-and-death trust for many years.
"You don't really think that I have this little bit of consciousness left, do you? Of course I will return to my own body. What if I have been out for too long and damaged the foundation of my body?"
" Oh.”
When the little dragon heard this, he responded aggrievedly.
But there is also some secret joy in my heart. After getting along with each other for these years, it also has some common sense of Taoism because of Lu Cheng:
The Yin body walks out of the physical body, and it does not exist for several years or decades. When you go back, you won't damage your physical Dao foundation. Teacher, is this the Nascent Soul Lord or the ancestor of the Transformation God?
At least, he is also the Nascent Soul Lord who practices some extremely powerful spiritual consciousness skills, otherwise he would not be able to reach this point.
This little dragon has some snobbery. Thinking of this, he respects his teacher even more.
But it doesn't know that Lu Cheng's golden elixir has not yet been refined, and that it is able to stay in the world for many years without losing its physical body because of Jiuli Ding's incredible ability to control the power of the universe.
The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe.
Control time, control space, and the power of Jiuli Ding. The more Lu Cheng practiced Taoism, the more he couldn't imagine how powerful it was and why it fell into his hands.
Because of his bloodline, the little red dragon is full of spirituality and is born with the ability to practice. Unlike many monsters with inferior bloodline, they have to grow old to become monsters first, and then gradually gain the awareness to practice after opening their spirituality.
The two stages of Qi training and foundation building were naturally broken through with the help of his talent, Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng chose the path of body refining for him.
Therefore, as the mana in the body naturally grows and deepens, it will instinctively look towards the volcano, pay attention to the fire monsters in the deep sea, and breathe out the evil energy of earth fire.
It instinctively knows that if it does the same, its mana will increase tenfold and dozens of times in a short period of time, and its own bloodline guides itself in this way.
However, the teacher didn’t allow it.
It does not allow itself to swallow and absorb the evil energy of earth fire like those monster beasts.
The little red dragon didn't understand why, but it obeyed and followed Lu Cheng's request and just worked hard to cultivate its physical body. A few years later, Lu Cheng saw that his work was almost done, and finally said:
"Okay, from today onwards you can go and swallow the Gangsha."
"Really? Thank you teacher!"
The little red dragon was very happy when he heard this. Over the years, it had been suppressing its instinct day and night, which was also very painful, and it could no longer control it.
Therefore, he quickly turned around and swam towards the crater.
However, a force of telekinesis fell on it, turning it around.
“That’s wrong, you go upstream.”
“Swim upstream?”
Seeing Lu Cheng raise his finger, the little red dragon was puzzled, but he was nostalgic. After looking at the volcano below, the pure evil spirit eventually moved upstream.
He could faintly see a round of golden skylight, shrouding himself in it.
Poof.
Breaking out of the water, the little red dragon glanced at the surrounding area which was empty except for the sea water, and asked doubtfully: "Teacher, where do we go to condense the evil energy?"
"What evil energy is condensed? , you don’t need to condense it, just condense the evil spirit, I have already finished it for you.”
“Huh?”
The Jiaolong clan with pure blood does not have the stage of innateness. The two stages of Qi training and foundation building have been passed. Xiao Chijiao has studied with Lu Cheng over the years and knows that the following two steps are extremely important: condensing evil and refining Gang. These two steps directly determine It is the basis for the future of Taoists.
If you make a poor choice, you can easily fall behind ten times or a hundred times.
Not only is there a difference in mana between the realms of Ningsha and Gangsha, but without superior Gangsha, it is naturally impossible to refine high-grade golden elixirs.
However, Xiao Chijiao was sure that he had not practiced to condense any kind of evil energy from heaven and earth.
“It’s the blood evil energy. Ever since you broke through to the foundation building realm, I have condensed the blood evil energy for you every day. You, the dragon clan, are born with strong vitality and blood, and you practice Taoist body refining techniques. So I'm just combing you The residual dryness in your blood every day is enough to condense evil spirits for you. There is no doubt that you have already reached the ninth level of evil condensation. The breakthrough a few days ago means that your legal body has been successfully promoted to the refining power. ”
"...Then, teacher, what kind of Tiangang do you want me to condense?"
Little Chijiao gradually recovered from the ecstasy of having reached the ninth level of Ningsha, curled up and asked respectfully.
“…” However, Lu Cheng didn’t answer for a while when he heard this.
After pondering for a long time, the Taoist said:
"Jiao'er, in fact, your instinct has always been right. You are actually more suitable for the Earth Demon in the Ningsha Volcano. This is the most suitable one. Your fire nature.
What the master will teach you next is the method of condensing the Divine Power of the Sun. The whole process of cultivating the body and condensing the divine aura with the Blood Fiend will be extremely painful. If you really can't stand it, just go back and follow your nature to condense the fire aura. "
"Master, the Condensation of the Great Sun Divine Gang is very powerful. Can you help me take revenge? "
If you are a pure Taoist monk with such a deep obsession, your cultivation will inevitably be full of demonic obstacles and difficult to overcome. But the little red dragon is a monster, but there are not so many troubles.
" Hum. , ordinary fire and divine fire are distinct and have their own boundaries. I have repeatedly deduced this for many years. If you can master my method, you can trace your bloodline and reproduce the ancient flame dragon body. "
While speaking, Lu Cheng held the tactic with both hands and led the Nine Heavens' True Gang to the lower realm. Along with this, his tactic changed:
All of a sudden.
"Ouch..."
A vast dragon's roar penetrated the sky and broke through the clouds, rolling up the surrounding waves, layer upon layer, a sudden strong wind, and everything was blurry.
Accompanied by this overwhelming momentum and the thrilling roar of the dragon, when the surrounding clouds dispersed slightly, a huge, long shadow with swaying claws emerged behind Lu Cheng.
It looks like antlers made of red gold and is sharp and sharp, the snow-white lion's mane is flying and fluttering, the red fire scales are looming with divine light, and the eagle's claws are like blades, showing majesty, just like the gods from the ancient mythological era coming to the world...
The body that is hundreds of feet long is covered with blazing golden-red flames. From time to time, the flames rise, explode and flicker. Every movement it makes seems to bring infinite power, stirring up layers of light in the air, appearing out of thin air. The layers of ripples seemed unbearable.
As soon as he appeared, he was covered by clouds and mist. He could not see his head but not his tail. He exuded infinite power, and even had a pair of divine eyes, looking out in all directions!
——Dragon, this is the Ancient Flame Dragon Dharmakaya!
This is the ultimate Tao method that Lu Cheng has devoted himself to inferring for decades and created for Xiao Chijiao.
Without the unique skill of body training and body cultivation in "Blood Nerve", Lu Cheng would not have been able to deduce the idea of using blood evil to condense evil and stimulate his potential.
Without the accumulation of Taoist teachings such as "The General Outline of Xuanmen" and "The Golden Book of the Great Sun", Lu Cheng would not have thought of using the Great Sun Divine Gang to trace back the source of blood and purify the bloodline.
Looking at the appearance of the ancient ancestor, the little red dragon was stunned for a moment. Until the sea breeze came and blew away Lu Cheng's spell, it could not come back to its senses for a long time.
“The ancient times were not good, but today are not the same. The ancient methods may not be better than the current times, and the newly created methods may not be inferior to the ancient magic. However, the ancient Tianlong clan traverses the world, and among them, Yan The dragon bloodline is not only the strongest among the true spirits in the world, it is at least first-class, except for Dapeng, Golden Crow, etc... ...There are very few true spirits, and I really don’t know which bloodline is definitely stronger than the Ancient Flame Dragon.”
“It’s really my blessing to have a master teach me, don’t worry, practice this method. No matter how painful and difficult it is, I will definitely master it."
Xiao Chijiao said with an excited expression.
It's just that his words were obviously said too early.
This Taoist method was deduced by Lu Cheng himself. He was sure that the derivation was correct, but when it came to practice, the dangers and pain were still beyond Lu Cheng's expectations.
To put it in a nutshell, how can it be so easy to trace the blood back to its source?
If it were easy, the monsters in the world would not be what they are now, and monks who practice the method of controlling beasts would become the mainstream of monasticism.
The reason why there is no such thing is because it is extremely difficult.
"Ahhh!"
In the high sky, in a golden fire, there is a red dragon swimming and struggling. This method is like taking the initiative to attract the fire to burn the body, and then taking one step on its own. A good way to cast spells and guide spiritual consciousness and mana.
Ordinary people who are burned by fire will lose their sense of pain in a short time.
However, ingesting the fire of the Great Sun is different. The fire of the God burns the body externally and the soul internally. It seems to burn the existence that attempts to control the power of the sky from the inside out.
Fortunately, whether it was the Blood God Xue Sha or the Great Sun God Gang, Lu Cheng was extremely familiar with them and even controlled them with care.
The little red dragon was flying high in the sky, while Lu Cheng was performing magic tricks below. A round of bloody Tai Chi emerged on the little red dragon's body, spinning.
Change the blood-evil aura on its side, and at the same time suppress the burning Sun God Gang inside and outside its body.
“Although this Taoist method can trace back the bloodline, no matter whether it is a monk or a monster, it is impossible to practice it alone. Although it was created by me, I am afraid it will become unspeakable in the future, and no one can pass it. This method goes back to ancient bloodlines."
Normally, cultivating Taoism is an extremely private matter.
The ninth round of practice is like drinking water and knowing whether it is hot or cold. There are still some secrets between parents and children, apprentices and masters.
Xiao Chijiao and Lu Cheng are in a very special situation. It trusts Lu Cheng more than its own parents. In addition, it has been attached to it for many years. Naturally, it is a private matter. Only in this way can it assist in cultivation. Taoism.
At this time, if Lu Cheng had even the slightest intention to harm the other party, those who practiced this method would be in a dead end with no way out.
Time passed like this day after day. The two steps of Ningsha Refining Gang should have been practiced very quickly. Lu Cheng and Xiao Chijiao joined forces and worked together to practice for more than forty years.
The difficulties and obstacles are difficult to describe. At the end of the training, Lu Cheng even had to teach Xiao Chijiao some magic skills and techniques, so that he could turn his obsession for revenge into inner demons and feed on daily suffering. , minoring in the inner demon refinement method in "The Secret of the Heavens' Secret Demon Yuan Dao", forcing the pass to increase the power of the refining power and speed up the success.
Otherwise, with Xiao Chijiao’s ambition, he would really be unable to hold on any longer.
