Chapter 259: Promotion to the third level of Jindan, the second forty-nine heavenly tribulation (please collect, please subscribe!)
Punching the seriously injured sixth-level ghost infant tree demon, when his own mana is about to run out Take the initiative to exit the Jiuli world, feeling refreshed and at peace.
The soul returned and sitting on the altar, Lu Cheng planned his future path.
Of course he can cultivate immortality and become an ancestor in the world of Dingzhang from now on, and live happily. As long as he cuts off the cause and effect with the outside world and truly takes root in this world, with his own Tao foundation, he may not be able to do so in the future. A glimpse of the Taoist Fruit of Yuan Shen.
But this thought only flashed through Lu Cheng's mind for a moment before it was chopped off.
If you are immortal, but live in a state of uneasiness and guilt every day, then you don’t want to live forever:
Master, wife, concubine, and enemy, in the great world of Tongxuan, I still have Countless causes and effects are constantly being cut and the rationale remains chaotic.
“I can die, but I will not allow myself to live in this world.”
With the sword in my hand and the energy in my chest, I can break through all disasters and break through all obstacles, proving that I will live forever. comfortable!
This is the Taoist result of Lu Cheng. What one relies on most to walk alone with a sword is not the sword, but the courage in one's heart. To shrink back and live in an ignoble existence is the immortal way of many people, but it is not the immortal way of Lu Cheng.
"Master Huang Longzi and Chi Shenzi have been preparing for nearly a thousand years to deal with the great catastrophe of the demon god. If I were still in the Tongxuan world, I should have been involved by now, but since I accidentally came to the world of Dingzhang, I can't come here in vain. In the field, while repairing the Du'e Golden Boat, I will collect the Nascent Soul Skills and even the Yuan Shen inheritance in this world, and bring them back to Tongxuan Realm.
Wanting to collect Nascent Soul skills and even Yuan Shen inheritance, to practice Qi, build foundations and even the Golden Core realm is not easy to access. If I have Yuanying Zhenjun’s With status and magic power, these things will be much easier."
Half a year later, in the Huanyun Valley of the Cangyun Mountains, the stone chamber was closed.
A masked Taoist walked out of the stone chamber. Outside the stone chamber, an inner monk was waiting anxiously.
"Junior brother Zhang, long time no see, why are you free to see me today?"
"Brother Tie, you are finally out of seclusion..."
The monk surnamed Zhang was suddenly stunned. After a while, he murmured: "Tie, uncle Tie, have you completed the foundation building?"
In the world of immortality, there is no direct lineage relationship, that is, the master is the master. Therefore, just a moment ago, he could call Tie Xiao his senior brother and explain to him the tasks assigned by the sect's deacon.
But at this moment, the other party has become his uncle, and the monk named Zhang does not even dare to assign sect tasks to him.
The realm of Qi training and foundation building is nothing in the eyes of high-level monks, but it is a world of difference in the eyes of low-level monks. It is something that most disciples will never be able to practice in their lifetime. Realm, in addition to hard work and talent, also requires some opportunities.
How many monks have never waited for this opportunity in their entire lives.
Tie Xiao's promotion to the Foundation Establishment Realm only caused some ripples in a very small circle, and soon fell silent, because Tie Xiao was originally a casual cultivator who joined the sect through the secret realm trial. And be able to get out of the secret realm alive Most of the monks who took the trial had advanced levels of Qi training, and with the resources obtained from the secret realm, many were promoted to foundation building in the following years. Being able to come out of the secret realm alive already shows their talents. Both the Qi and Qi numbers are good.
Jiuxia Peak, the cave where Lin Qinghan lives.
Because he had named his major disciple to be promoted to the realm of foundation building and came to see him, Master Lin came out specially for this purpose. Unexpectedly, he saw the gift presented by this disciple directly after entering the hall:
A piece of iron that has been cold for thousands of years is worth a lot of money.
Lin Qinghan is dedicated to cultivating Taoism and has always disliked trivial matters. After cultivating to the realm of golden elixir, although the sect has abundant offerings and the family behind her will receive a share of the offerings from her, these resources are barely enough to maintain her diligence in cultivating Taoism. It is very difficult to buy magic weapons for self-defense and protection.
So even though he knew he shouldn't, seeing this disciple's intention, Master Lin Qinghan still didn't refuse.
“You and I, master and disciple, have a close relationship, but we have passed such a heavy thank you ceremony. Xiao’er, after you are promoted to Foundation Establishment, what skills and techniques do you want to practice?”
This is to let Tie Xiao make his own choice. Generally speaking, it is mostly the master who teaches the apprentice what to learn. Without this generous teacher-appreciation ceremony, how could such a good thing happen?
"Master, my disciple has recently become quite obsessed with the art of refining puppets. I wonder if there are any classics passed down in the sect?"
"...Yes, there are some. There are some advanced puppet scriptures in the library, but without the foundation, the contents are obscure and difficult to understand. I have a nephew Chu in Huanyun Valley who seems to be proficient in the art of puppets. Since you If you're so interested, I'll ask you a question."
The master and apprentice said a few more polite words, and then Lu Cheng held a salute with both hands and bowed deeply before leaving.
"This Iron Owl is quite powerful. Thousands of years of cold iron can be used to refine magic weapons. He is quite good at fishing."
At this time, Lin Qinghan, the real person The maid next to him came closer and saw that the master was happy, so she praised softly.
These maids and servants of Lin Qinghan are basically blood relatives in her family. The female cultivators work as maids for her, and the male cultivators cultivate the spiritual fields near the spiritual veins for her.
Even though they are all servants' work, the treatment is actually better than that of ordinary inner sect disciples. If it weren't for the fact that most of these people have poor cultivation qualifications, the probability of becoming a foundation-building and purple mansion monk would be higher than that of the disciples of Elder Jindan. .
Therefore, these maids around Lin Qinghan dare to speak.
"Hey, don't go out and talk nonsense. Besides, Tie Xiao once worked as a senior steward in the underground mines. It is reasonable for there to be some spiritual minerals in the underground veins to be sold at low prices."
When Yan said this , Lin Qinghan suddenly thought that that Tie Xiao seemed to have never knelt down to salute him since he knew him. He always held the salute with both hands, which did not seem to be in line with the behavior of a disciple toward his master.
But after thinking about it, Lin Qinghan only felt that Tie Xiao's casual cultivator's background was a bit wild, and she didn't care too much about his temperament. Looking at Han Tie in front of her, she quickly put the matter behind her.
Lin Qinghan also kept his word and quickly introduced Chu Hanfei and Tie Xiao.
With the face of Lin Qinghan, the number one fairy in the Fantasy Cloud Valley, Tie Xiao handed over some spirit stones and could learn the basic puppet refining technique from Chu Hanfei.
A sect needs high-level puppets to guard its large mineral veins and spiritual mountains. Even a cultivating family needs puppets to protect their mountains.
So this Chu Shangxiu made a lot of money by relying on his skill in refining fourth-order puppets. Although he was willing to teach Lin Qinghan for his sake, he only taught the basics of first- and second-order puppet refining. , the real essence must be left to one’s descendants and disciples.
However, what Lu Cheng needs is exactly these basic things. The old monster Tian Yanzi recorded his life in the jade introduction, and also recorded his cultivation. The skills and methods for refining puppets, but he did not record the methods for refining low- and middle-level puppets, either because he felt it was unnecessary, or because he was limited by the space of Jade's introduction.
Lu Cheng suddenly wanted to learn these things, not because he wanted to delve into the puppetry technique, but because he wanted to repair the Destruction Heavenly Lord and transplant it into the Ghost Infant to gain the sixth-level Nascent Soul combat power in advance.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and time passes like this day after day.
One year, two years, five years, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years.
The Taoist Tie Xiao, who originally served under Master Lin of Jiuxia Peak, had a relatively low reputation, but as time went by, he gradually disappeared from everyone.
In the eyes of many people, this is a typical mistake in his choice of a hundred arts of cultivating immortality. He chose a hundred arts of cultivating immortality that he was not suitable for, but ended up immersed in it. In the past twenty years, , I don’t know how many spiritual stones and spiritual objects the flower has used.
Lin Qinghan, the real person, is the most open-minded about this point: "My eldest disciple has successfully established the foundation. Even if he wastes some time and years, if he can gain something, it will be a good thing.
More Besides, who knows if he will suddenly have an epiphany one day if he continues to be immersed like this? "
Inside the cave, on top of the Yin Yang Dharma Platform.
The mysterious light flows, and the surrounding candlelight flickers.
The Taoist was sitting cross-legged on the Dharma altar, with a solemn expression, his hands forming a seal, and a red light bloomed from the center of his eyebrows, jumping like a raging flame.
As he breathed in and out, the fire element energy between heaven and earth condensed in the air, turning into blazing magic fire, covering the whole body, reflecting the entire cave like a world of lava, but it did not burn the surroundings.
It shows how advanced the Taoist's ability to control flames has reached.
His body was wrapped in blazing Dharma fire, like a volcano. Earthy-yellow light grew from the fire, gradually forming pieces of hard earth and stone. The earth and stone continued to expand, eventually turning into the image of a huge stone ape, lifelike, with a strong body and extremely clear muscle lines, as if it had endless power.
Lu Cheng's magic power increased rapidly with the practice of the Five Elements Reform, and the image of the Sun-Eating Divine Ape became clearer. He seemed to turn into an ancient flame dragon sometimes, and sometimes a huge ape. The same thing is that he Every breath can shake the entire cave.
A large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the formation in the cave. Over the years, just the spiritual energy that Lu Cheng had stolen from the spiritual veins of Huanyun Valley was probably worth millions of spiritual stones. Just because it was stolen equally and the method was clever, no one has ever discovered it.
This vast and pure and powerful spiritual energy is injected into its skin, bones, collaterals, flesh and blood, and the body and mind are combined.
Gradually, every hair on the body of the golden ape seemed to be real, fluttering in the wind, and its eyes that were originally full of animal nature shone with the light of humanity and wisdom.
The air in the cave was distorted by the high temperature, but not a trace of dust could approach Lu Cheng.
The changes in the element of fire and earth are vividly demonstrated in him. The earth and stone continue to absorb the energy of the element of fire and become more solid and solid. The figure of the Taoist on the altar is intertwined with the movement of fire and earth and stone. It seems more mysterious and mysterious.
Rumble, rumble... A dull sound of thunder suddenly came from far away in the sky.
"Roar!"
In the end, with an earth-shattering roar, the image of the Sun-Eating Divine Ape suddenly disappeared, and Taoist Lu Cheng recovered his original body, but at this moment, there was fire in his eyes. The magic light flowing with the earth is so powerful that it has been promoted to the third level of golden elixir.
I refined the golden elixir at the age of one hundred and forty-nine, and reached the third level of the golden elixir in my early two hundred years. Even among the demonic realm, it is extremely amazing.
What's more, the vast majority of magic monks are so diligent in their magic power, which will cause endless troubles at the expense of overdrafting their potential.
“I originally thought that there would be no fourth or ninth level calamity in this world, but I didn’t expect that after breaking through to the third level of the Golden Core, my energy would soar into the sky and cause a heavenly calamity.”
Although he was talking to himself like this, Lu Cheng sensed the thunder coming from the sky and the earth, but he didn't feel any fear. Since ancient times, thunder and fire have helped each other, and thunder belongs to the metal element among the five elements. Metal is born from earth. , at this time, the second change of the Five Elements Reform has been completed, and you can sense the changes of the third change in advance.
At the same time, the spiritual energy vortex outside the Lucheng retreat cave has enveloped the entire mountain. Now, anyone can roughly understand where this strange phenomenon of heaven and earth is triggered.
Fortunately, the Cangyun Mountain Range has natural sixth-order spiritual veins, which can provide such a huge amount of spiritual energy in time to fill the big hole of the spiritual energy vortex, so that Lu Cheng can finally complete his achievements.
In a cave a few thousand feet high above the main peak of Qilin Peak in Huanyun Valley, a silver-haired Taoist named Huang was meditating and refining his Qi.
At the moment when the whirlpool of spiritual light appeared hundreds of miles away and the calamity clouds gathered and rolled in the sky, Taoist Huang's eyes suddenly opened in shock, revealing an expression of disbelief. "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation? No, this scale is too small. Could it be that..."
The Nascent Soul cultivator’s mind was moving rapidly, and he quickly thought of something that happened in the sect twenty years ago.
So he took back his magic power without hesitation, and immediately turned into a ray of light and flew out of the cave.
A moment later, Taoist Huang appeared near the spiritual energy vortex. He stood on a peak and sensed everything below, his expression changing.
At this moment, another ray of light flew over quickly. It was the second Nascent Soul Lord of Huanyun Valley, the young monk surnamed Liu.
"Senior brother, what's going on? Well, that's not it?"
"That's right, hey, I didn't expect that someone actually took the chestnut out of the fire and took away the Ghost Infant Fruit under the eyes of you and me. Looking at the current situation, it has obviously been successfully refined."
Taoist surnamed Huang said while caressing his beard.
"...Then what should we do?"
"Junior brother, please be patient. Looking at the scene of the Nascent Soul Tribulation, if that cunning junior has too little foundation, , may not be able to survive this disaster.”
As if echoing the words of the old man surnamed Huang, the blue and white thunder in the sky gathered, stabbing down like a spear from heaven and earth.
With Lu Cheng’s meritorious deeds, why would this happen?
"Hahahaha, there are many monks and Taoists in front of the gate of hell. It is because they know more than ordinary people and have more power to intervene, so it is easier to fall into cause and effect."
Lu Cheng has been practicing Taoism since , even though he would fly his sword down on people's heads when he had a murderous intention, most of the people he killed were evildoers, and the souls he saved through the "Tai Sheng Miao Sutra" were definitely far more than the ones he killed.
However, in order to save the old monk Zhenzhen, he inherited the thousand-year cause and effect of the heavenly Buddha world, so it can be said that he has serious sins.
The sins are serious and the calamity is also heavy.
But Lu Cheng didn’t care much about this. In the Taoist concept, disaster is severe, and blessings are also great after getting over it.
Everything in the world bears yin and returns yang, one body with two sides. Dire doom? Just use Taoist magic in your hands to break it.
Roar!
With a wave of the sword, the entire spiritual energy in the cave was extracted and mobilized by the flying sword, and condensed into a huge flaming dragon shape, biting and devouring from bottom to top. This is dragon-shaped killing. Sword style.
In the distance, in the eyes of Huang and Liu, a golden-red ancient flame dragon seemed to suddenly appear, circling and dancing, gnawing at the sky.
After Lu Cheng has mastered the sword energy transformation skill, as long as he has a little spare strength, he can swing a few swords to fake the form, imitate the form, make the sword energy generate spirituality on its own, and form an ancient flame dragon to kill the opponent.
Thunder and fire came together, and the blue and white thunder in the sky gathered to assassinate and fall, but the flame sword light pulled it away and detonated in advance.
In the blink of an eye, the thunder spear and fire sword clashed nearly a hundred times, and the sword burned the sky.
At this time, the female crown of Lin Qinghan from Jiuxia Peak had already escaped. It was not that she had the fastest escape speed, but that she cared about this place the most and came to the disadvantage of the two ancestors of the sect. Chu first saluted, and then Lin Qinghan turned his eyes to the place where thunder and fire intertwined.
"Qinghan, where is that?"
At the peak, the old man surnamed Huang asked.
“That, that is the retreat place of the disciple’s registered disciple, Taoist Tie Xiao.”
“Ha, you are a registered disciple who has some means, although you live in the foundation building monk’s house. In the cave, the spiritual energy in the cave is not inferior to that of my residence."
"... Please punish the disciple for his negligence!"
< br>
The beautiful and refined female crown finally couldn't bear it any longer, so she knelt down to the Supreme Elder and asked for punishment.
"..."
The old man surnamed Huang stroked his beard with his hand and said nothing more, but focused his mind on the place to overcome the tribulation.
At this time, the thunder spears all over the sky have gradually dispersed, and Lu Cheng's own sword energy has been somewhat exhausted and stagnant.
In the great world of Tongxuan, after a normal Jindan master reaches the third level of Jindan, he will often use the secret method of overcoming tribulations and secret treasures to cover up the secrets of heaven, so that God cannot sense him. When his own magic power and magic treasures are greatly increased, , only then took action to overcome the tribulation after being fully prepared.
However, Lu Cheng did not prepare a treasure for himself to overcome the tribulation, and what he went through was the most difficult intensity of the 49th level tribulation.
Let the two Nascent Soul Lords Huangliu and Huanyun Valley mistakenly think that this is the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.
Boom, boom.
This time, among the surging clouds in the sky, incandescent thunderballs rolled out, crushing the void and making a loud sound.
“Jiejiejiejie…cough cough, I’m running out of energy, how can I make this noise?”
As he spoke, Lu Cheng used his sleeves to sacrifice an extremely ferocious Iron Man puppet. This was his greatest achievement in the past twenty years. The thick and huge black metal armor was extremely sharp every inch. Nine different but equally terrifying ghost faces are carved on it, located on the shoulders, chest and abdomen, waist, joints, etc., and these ghost faces are still moving around.
The God of Destruction was the sixth-level puppet that Tian Yanzi had almost completed back then, but after all, he did not have such a good opportunity as the Ghost Infant Fruit, and eventually died at the hands of the demon god, and his success failed.
But most of the design ideas he left behind are correct, including puppet designs suitable for Yin and Death-like mana.
In the past twenty years, Lu Cheng has tried his best to repair the Destroyed Heavenly Lord, and at the same time, he has sacrificed the Ghost Infant Fruit to integrate it. Now this puppet is equivalent to a sixth-level puppet, and as long as At the time of replenishment, the Ghost Infant Fruit has not been truly refined and used, so there is no Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. It can be taken out for normal refining and use in the future.
However, in the eyes of the two True Lords Huangliu and Huangliu of Huanyun Valley, as well as a group of True Jindan practitioners, it was Taoist Tie Xiao who had refined the Ghost Infant Fruit and flew away under a thunderous catastrophe. And contribute to resist the disaster.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky like a tsunami, and thunder roared.
Huge incandescent thunderballs are brewing and condensing in the dark clouds. They are ready to go, beating with the thunder, and emitting a beating like a heart.
Suddenly, the thunderball shot down, and the light pierced the thick darkness, locking the sixth-level puppet tightly.
This sixth-level puppet stands in the void, and its armor is engraved with dense talisman inscriptions, all of which were activated at this moment.
When the thunderball bombarded the magic armor, waves of black ripples appeared on the surface of the armor, like ripples in the dark, spreading out endless Yin Qi.
The black energy spreads like a living thing, intertwining with the light of the thunder ball, forming a dispersion and melting.
Around this puppet, there are countless ghostly souls wailing and roaring. Their faces are twisted and their expressions are painful, as if they are telling the unwillingness and grief of their lives.
The Ghost Infant Fruit is formed by the accumulated mana of the Ghost Infant Tree Demon for thousands of years. In the Yin Qi, the number of Yin souls is indispensable.
Boom.
In the end, the sixth-level puppet was almost turned golden red by the blast and fell back into the cave.
The two Huang and Liu people in the distance almost thought that they had failed to overcome the tribulation. The thunder tribulation was violent there, and they were unwilling to risk injury by using their consciousness to investigate.
In the cave, Lu Cheng took back the sixth-level puppet. After this period of respite, his magic power had returned to more than half under the operation of the Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Technique. He watched The sky, although there are many thunders in the sky, most of the catastrophic force has dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, in the distance, the Huang Liu duo and a group of Jindan Daoists from Huanyun Valley saw a fire dragon rising into the sky and escaping into the clouds.
Fire Escape!
Among the Five Elements Escape Techniques, Fire Jue Escape has the strongest instantaneous explosive power. Propelled by the Ancient Flame Dragon Transformation, it really has the potential to transform into a rainbow and escape thousands of miles away. However, it is a bit too overbearing for non-physical cultivators. It’s impossible to practice at all.
Escaped into the layers of calamity clouds and turned into earth from the fire, the Taoist quickly turned into a huge earth-yellow ape, riding the escape light, roaring towards the sky and waving his arms.
The Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape transforms into a great monster from ancient times. It looks up to the sky and wants to swallow it!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Along with the terrifying roar, the mana, as powerful and deep as the earth, spread out in all directions, twisting and washing the tribulation in the sky, and at the same time swallowing the sun Around the fire ape, rounds of mixed holes emerged, swallowing up the thunder that was still scattered in the sky, and constantly refining the form and spirit of the landing city.
"Everyone, please disperse. I'm issuing a hush-hush order. Anyone who dares to reveal even half of what happened today will be punished for betraying the sect."
On the distant peak, Taoist surnamed Huang looked at the calamity clouds that filled the sky. No, they were almost swallowed up. The domineering and tyrannical skills practiced by the other party were fully demonstrated.
"Senior brother, what do you think?"
The Taoist surnamed Liu next to him heard this and vaguely guessed what the senior brother was thinking.
“It’s hard to be too small between the two major powers, not to mention that Qinzhou has not been peaceful in recent years. No matter where this person comes from, he has successfully refined the Ghost Infant Fruit and cultivated the Nascent Soul Avenue. , give him the exercises and a few better magic weapons, This person may not be able to help us two to protect our sect.
If the thousand-year inheritance of Huanyun Valley is cut off in the hands of you and me, wouldn’t it bring shame to our ancestors and their souls? Uneasy?”
"Well, then I will follow your instructions in everything, senior brother."
Taoist surnamed Liu has never had any ideas, and this time it is normal.
