Chapter 265: Legal Edict, Monk War; Refining Ten Thousand Soul Banners to Guard the Sect
On this day, Lu Cheng was practicing in Jileifeng Cave, when he suddenly felt the vitality of heaven and earth change abnormally.
He pinched out a magic formula, and his body was suddenly enveloped in a rainbow light, and he flew out of the cave, only to see a golden talisman slowly descending from the clouds above the Fantasy Cloud Valley.
Huang Daozhong and Liu Hexuan had already escaped from the cave first, looking at the golden talisman with solemn expressions.
"Huan Yun Valley, Zodiac Bell, respectfully request the imperial edict."
Huang Daozhong, the supreme elder of the sect, stepped forward, took the golden talisman, put it in his hands and inspected it for a moment, then held the talisman in both hands and bowed deeply to the sky.
Then he turned around and said to Liu Hexuan and Lu Cheng:
"Two junior brothers, come with me to Qilin Peak for a small gathering."
Liu Hexuan and Lu Cheng naturally disagreed. Will refuse.
Inside the cave, the fragrance of tea lingers.
"The ancestor of Yuanshen has issued an edict. The three sects of Xuan Mo, Huanyun, and Haoran will all send two Yuanying monks to fight to resist the attack of Tiannan monks. The number of Jindan and Zifu monks also has requirements..."
"Junior Brother Tie, you have just cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm. In the first ten years, Junior Brother Liu and I have been responsible for resisting. You are guarding the gate in the sect, so that we have no worries."
In this At this time, Liu Hexuan also spoke:
“Junior Brother Tie, you can use these ten years to learn a hundred arts of cultivating immortality. If you have a profound art of cultivating immortality by your side, you may not need it even if you are on the front line. Go out to fight."
Liu Hexuan also had good intentions. He knew that Lu Cheng practiced the Ghost Infant Way, and his spiritual consciousness and magic power were weaker than those of normal Nascent Soul cultivators. It would be great if he could avoid the battle.
"Thank you two senior brothers for taking care of me."
Sitting on the futon, Lu Cheng held the tactic in front of him and bowed deeply.
Before leaving, Huang Daozhong and Liu Hexuan finally handed over the sect’s inherited classics and the magic sun method to Lu Cheng.
Originally, it was supposed to be tested for another hundred years, but now the great catastrophe of heaven and earth is approaching, and if the sect is not good enough, it may even be destroyed. If there is one more Nascent Soul monk to pass on this classic, the inheritance of Fantasy Cloud Valley will be one more Assure.
What's more, if Lu Cheng retreats at this time, it will not be easy to escape from the pursuit of the ancestors of the gods in the Northern Territory.
At this point, after coming to Dingzhang Great World Jiazi, Lu Cheng actually took charge of a sixth-level sect.
The inheritance hall, the sect’s treasure house, the ancestor hall, all important places are all open to it.
Sometimes when his thoughts are racing, Lu Cheng also feels that after repairing the golden boat to save the disaster, even the Yuanshen monks may not be able to track him and take the sect's treasure house across the border.
But sometimes I feel that if any Yuanshen monk is willing to pay the price, he may not be able to cast the curse of cross-border pursuit and kill himself directly.
Of course, these are just thoughts. Lu Cheng has no intention of escaping from this world with the sect's treasure house. For high-level monks, the significance of the spirit stone itself is not very great. Seventh-level classics, spiritual objects, and huge power are what high-level monks need.
There are tens of thousands of monks in a sect, and everyone may have their own opportunities. A good sect system will allow monks who get opportunities to give their opportunities to the sect after thinking about it, in exchange for the sect to exchange resources with them. benefit.
For example, a qi-training monk accidentally picked up a fifth-level elixir. He has no need to use this elixir himself, and if he uses it reluctantly, he will lose even one of its effectiveness. Then he will use this elixir. Turning it over to the sect in exchange for the sect's reward: ten thousand spiritual stones is one of his choices. To the sect, the value of a fifth-level elixir is far higher than ten thousand spiritual stones.
For example, a foundation-building monk accidentally discovers a sixth-level spiritual mine in the city. If the sect is unfair, he will hide the spiritual mine as a family heirloom, but if the sect is doing things unfairly, To be fair, maybe he would hand over this spiritual mine to the sect in exchange for rewards from the sect: some exercises, some elixirs, some magic weapons, some spiritual veins, or the opportunity to become a true successor of the Nascent Soul Lord.
This is what sect means to high-level monks. Opportunity is a small probability event, but when there are enough monks in a sect, high-level monks can gather most of the opportunities of the entire sect into themselves. . Therefore, under normal circumstances, sect monks are stronger than casual cultivators.
Even if they have reached a high level of cultivation, the monks in the sect are only afraid of the ferocious temperament of the casual cultivators.
With the support of the resources of Phantom Cloud Valley, Lu Cheng can refine more third-order and fourth-order puppets to assist in the repair of the Du'er Golden Boat, which greatly improves the repair progress of this treasure ship.
In these years, the monks of the Tie clan have become more and more arrogant. Lu Cheng ignored them at first, but then suddenly sent people to the Tie clan and killed several of the most domineering ones. Arrogance.
At that time, among the people who were killed were Tie Xiao's cousins. Tie Yushuang was helpless by his relatives, so he came to ask his eldest brother to spare him a favor. However, Tie Yushuang even joined Ji Leifeng's cave. Even though they couldn't get in, those few people were still beheaded.
Since then, the Tie clan has become much more peaceful.
In Lu Cheng's view, he guided Tie Yushuang to build the foundation of the tunnel, helped the Tie family to become a cultivating family that could be passed down for hundreds of years, and had settled the cause and effect with Tie Xiao. This final murder , but it was the last bit of human kindness.
Jiuli world, the dead world of tree demons.
The sky is dark, dark clouds are covered, and the wind is howling. The dim light between the sky and the earth interweaves with the dead air, forming a suffocating sense of oppression.
A Taoist wearing a robe stood in the wilderness, holding a long flag-shaped magic weapon in his hand.
"Thousands of souls, millions of karma, the gate of hell is open..."
Lu Cheng closed his eyes tightly and muttered something in his mouth. Following his incantation, the words on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner The fierce fire became more and more powerful, almost forming a whirlpool, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
Not far away, among the swaying branches of the shadowy trees, there were eerie laughter and cries intertwined into a strange echo.
Countless souls are entrenched on countless small branches. The branches are covered with pale faces, men, women, old and young, children and babies. Every face has a look of pain and despair.
The ghost infant tree demon has been cultivating deep in the earth for thousands of years. It is unknown how many souls are bound by it, mixed with Yin Qi, to form its magic power.
At this moment, it tried its best to resist the Taoist's peeling off. A stream of strong Yin Ning death energy spurted out from all over its body. When it met the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in Lu Cheng's hand, it erupted into a harsh Ten Thousand Souls roar. sound.
Lucheng has been practicing Taoism for more than two hundred years. He has some knowledge of spells and alchemy. He also has some attainments in formations, weapon refining, and puppet secret techniques. However, with his level of weapon refining, it is impossible to refine them. It’s hard to say if a sixth-level magic weapon can be obtained even after another two hundred years of cultivation.
However, there are some differences between magic weapons and righteous magic weapons. There are some magic weapons that can be obtained by taking the wrong shortcut without a lot of hard work.
Many evil demon monks are willing to kill no matter how many people they have as long as their magical weapons are powerful and powerful.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is one of the classics. As long as the material can bear it, the more people you kill, the stronger its power will be.
Lu Cheng is at least close to the level of a fifth-level weapon refiner. He can refine a fifth-level mid-level flying sword magic weapon like the Five Elements Flying Sword for himself. He has a foundation in the righteous weapon refining technique.
By chance, I got several pieces of Ten Thousand Soul Banners with excellent base materials. After being combined, they became the sixth-order Ten Thousand Soul Banners in Lu Cheng’s hands.
Under the tug of the Ten Thousand Souls Flag, the Yinming Death Qi turned into streams of black light, which were slowly extracted and merged into the flag.
The ghost baby tree demon also felt a strong threat, and the expressions on the faces among the branches became more distorted and painful, but it could not escape and could only struggle feebly.
As time went by, Lu Cheng's mana and magic formulas continued to pour in, and the light on the Ten Thousand Souls Flag became brighter and brighter. Lu Cheng felt a faint tremor from the magic weapon flying in the void, and knew that this was This magic flag has absorbed enough Yin Ming death energy.
Go back and refine and strengthen it again, and one day you can be promoted to a middle-grade magic weapon.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is very compatible with the Ghost Infant Dharma, and the human treasure is in harmony. Even if the divine consciousness and magic power are weaker, it is not afraid of the ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Just when Lu Cheng was about to fly away, a weak whisper suddenly came to his ears:
"Please stay, Zhenjun, I have a few words to say."
Then. The Taoist turned around in the air and stared at the ghost-infant tree demon below. In this world, there are only myself and this tree demon.
On the big Yinmu tree where the Ghost Infant Dryad is, wisps of white air spread out and condensed into a rickety old woman on crutches.
The face of the old woman was full of folds and wrinkles, and she was completely kind. It was exactly the image Lu Cheng had seen in the dryad before.
"How dare you show up in front of me, and you are not afraid that I will catch you and make you the main soul in my Ten Thousand Soul Banner?"
There was a smile on Lu Cheng's lips but there was a coldness. Over the years, He practices magic skills too much, and his mind is more likely to turn into intolerance and harshness, but he With self-control and awareness, he refines his body with the true fire of Samadhi every day and uses the "Tai Shang Miao Sutra" to save his soul, accumulate the merits of heretics, and at the same time cultivate his own nature
"Although the true king practices magic, he still has Self-restraint and self-restraint lay a solid foundation for Taoism. Before, my mind was covered by the Yin Ming Death Qi, and I was extremely cruel. Now that Zhenjun has removed most of the Yin Ming Death Qi, I have gradually gained some clarity.
Logically speaking, my pulse is correct. When the yin energy of the earth's veins is absorbed, slowly growing, and tracing back to the pure yang, then Obtaining the right result. However, absorbing one soul increases one's magic power. When I was underground, I didn't have any enemies or natural enemies. How could I endure it? It was the True Lord who saved me and allowed me to return to the right path. ."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng was noncommittal.
In practice, it is natural to encounter mixed feelings, and almost no one can completely avoid it.
It was supposed to be the purple energy of the sun, but instead it was the morning glow. It was supposed to be the earth's energy, but it was mixed with some copper and iron energy. It even made the mana powerful and energetic, which made me happy for a while.
Even if you have a thorough understanding of Taoism, you will always have erratic thoughts. When you make a mistake, you may not notice anything for a day or two. However, impure magic power, even inexplicable bottlenecks in cultivation, or even obsession, can also cause problems. It all comes from this.
In the golden elixir avenue, purity is the most precious thing, and it pays attention to the operation of the elixir. If there are too many impurities in the mana, the elixir will often be destroyed at the most critical moment when the elixir is formed. But once you get through it, your mana will be greatly purified.
There are even monks who have practiced their skills to achieve enlightenment through mixed energy, refine elixirs, and prove the Nascent Soul.
"In the future, if True Lord wants to absorb ten thousand souls, I will fully cooperate with you. Next, I will recreate the natural vitality in this extremity area in order to pay off the sin of imprisoning ten thousand souls. However, I still have one thing I want to ask for." "What's the matter?"
At this moment, Lu Cheng was still on guard, and he was holding the Ten Thousand Soul Flag tightly in his hand.
“My two children, after thousands of years of gestation, have become true spirits. I dare not ask the real person to preserve their bodies, but I ask the real person to send these two poor children of mine into reincarnation. , can be reincarnated as a human being."
When the ghost baby tree demon said these words, a chubby and white ghost baby appeared behind her. At this moment, the ghost baby was afraid. Look at Lu Cheng hugging the tree demon tightly.
If these two ghost infant fruits can achieve the birth of yin and yang and turn from death to life, they will definitely be the spiritual embryos of heaven and earth. Who knows what kind of great fortune they will have.
Unfortunately, ever since the ghost-infant tree demon imprisoned a large number of living souls in order to increase its magic power, it has already damaged the merits and virtues in the world. In fact, it is impossible for the two of them to cultivate to that state.
Originally, the ghost infant tree demon didn't care. She even planned to devour the two ghost infants when they cultivated a ray of pure yang energy to make up for their own body and mana.
Now that my mind is gradually clearing up, I think about entrusting the Taoist in front of me to send them to reincarnation with great magic power. If they are not the spiritual embryo of heaven and earth, entrusting them to be reborn as human beings is still a blessing.
When Lu Cheng heard the Ghost Infant Dryad say: 'My two children have become true spirits,' his eyes suddenly flickered, as if he thought of something, but was suppressed by it.
"I will not let the True Lord's hard work go in vain. It is said that the tree heart of the Old Body is of great benefit to the cultivation of Taoists. I am willing to give it to the True Lord as a token of my gratitude."
The old woman in white walked as she spoke. When you reach the main body of the tree, reach into the tree and pick off a piece of wood.
After doing this, the figure of the old woman in white instantly became blurry and almost completely transparent. Then, with some difficulty, she transferred the tree heart to Lu Cheng's palm with her magic power.
Soul-nourishing wood is one of the rare treasures of heaven and earth. Wearing it on the body can nourish the soul and spirit of the monks, making the consciousness slowly grow. It has endless magical effects in healing the soul and injuries. It can also reside in the soul and protect its sanity for a long time. scattered.
"Okay, I promise you. I won't take this ghost baby away now. If I have a chance in the future, I will come here to take him away to help him reincarnate as an adult."
Taking the soul-nurturing wood in his hand, it was only at this moment that he believed everything the other party said.
The most important thing is that the other party cannot change the world in Jiuli Ding no matter what.
After saying this, Lu Cheng turned around and took a step, and in an instant, he had left that world.
The tree demon in white unites her soul and body, rumblingly expanding the tree body, absorbing the magma from the earth, solidifying and nourishing this dead world. This is also her practice.
…………
The changes in the ghost infant tree demon and the white-clothed tree demon also made Lu Cheng secretly alert to whether he had made any mistakes in his own practice. He became more diligent in studying the Taoist classics and cultivating the true fire of Samadhi.
A few years later, in Huanyun Valley, Jileifeng Cave.
Lin Qinghan mentally checked the accounts submitted by each channel and made comments.
This female immortal has just formed an elixir not long ago. She is lacking in spells, magic weapons, and all kinds of skills in cultivating immortals. She is caught up in this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Taking her to the front line is equivalent to asking her to die.
Therefore, she was not among the Jindan and Zifu monks that the two True Lords Huang Daozhong and Liu Hexuan took away this time, giving her a ten-year buffer to make preparations.
Lin Qinghan thought about it and felt that ten years of practicing any of the various arts of cultivating immortals was not enough, and it was difficult to achieve great success in practicing magic, so she chose to take up the position of managing the sect. She did a good job in this matter. You can also get a lot of good deeds and spiritual stones.
When the time comes, buying elixirs, magic weapons, and spells will be much more useful in dealing with the great calamity than practicing hard training in seclusion.
"For a piece of Purple Spirit Warm Jade, Kong Zefeng and Zhang Shoucheng have been having a lot of trouble these years. Do you care about it?"
Purple Spirit Warm Jade is a treasure that assists the monks in opening up the Zifu. Opening the Zi Mansion is not as dangerous as practicing Foundation Establishment. There is no Foundation Establishment Pill to protect the meridians, and failure will result in death.
After many years of practice, the mana has filled the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows with warmth and nourishment. Even if the breakthrough fails, the counterattack can be withstood. However, it takes many years to warm up and recover, which is extremely hindering the path.
"How to manage? This kind of Taoist dispute is about you and not me. Now the war between sects and the mining of Zifu treasures will be greatly affected by this. People in these sects all know Yes, they are now competing for the sect's inventory, and no one is willing to give in. Step.
We strictly follow the rules of the sect. Whoever has the most merit and good qualifications will use Ziling Nuanyu, and I don’t need to worry about anything.”
Once you receive support from the sect, you must assume some of the obligations of a sect monk.
Lu Cheng was impatient with these tedious accounts, but he still selected a few of the more important ones, studied them carefully, and made a judgment.
On the contrary, there is no need to worry about the important matter of monks competing for promotion resources.
Preventing people from becoming enlightened is the biggest hatred among monks. It can only be managed by the sect's laws. Even if the Yuan Ying ancestor comes forward and others have to obey, they will still have resentment in their hearts.
"Alas, but Zhang Shoucheng's qualifications and understanding are much better than Kong Zefeng's, but he is younger than Kong Zefeng, and his accumulation of good deeds is somewhat insufficient. Now that the sect is facing the calamity of this world, why not persuade Kong Zefeng to give in? Compensate him in other ways? "
"According to the sect's established laws, he is young today and will be old tomorrow. In the future, he will strive for When collecting elixir resources, if a sect disciple with better qualifications than him appears, will he also give in? Establishing a leader to maintain stability, establishing a virtuous person to create chaos, and haphazardly changing the sect's laws will damage the prestige that the sect has accumulated for many years, resulting in The disciples below are disloyal. "
Lu Cheng and Lin Qinghan were chatting in the attic of the cave when they saw a Zifu monk from Huanyun Valley hurried to Lu Cheng's cave.
Seeing the frightened and worried look on his face, Lu Cheng immediately asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"
The Zifu monk heard the sound and howled and prostrated:
"Ancestor , some demon cultivators destroyed the river embankments, causing flooding, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured in Jingling County, Patriarch!"
Pa.
The tea cup shattered. Lu Cheng had studied Taoism in the past few years and had restrained himself. He even tried his best to suppress cold words and harsh words. However, at this moment, he only felt a surge of anger rushing into the sky, making the Taoist The originally jade-like face turned red.
"Hahahaha, I have no prestige, so much so that a demonic cultivator rode on my neck and shit. Hundreds of thousands of people in Jingling County died because of me!"
Lin screamed loudly. Qinghan and Yue Zhonghe, who had just barged in, saw a flash of sword light. When they looked at it again, Patriarch Tie Xiao had disappeared without a trace.
"Bastard, how dare you!"
Lin Qinghan raised his hand and slapped Yue Zhonghe, causing Yue Zhonghe to roll and fall to the ground.
"If the Patriarch has an accident because of this, you will be the sinner of the sect! Why don't you sound the alarm quickly and organize manpower."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Yue Zhonghe finally understood the seriousness of the matter at this moment, because he was a monk from Jingling County, and his relatives were even among the people who died this time. Therefore, I was confused for a while, but I forgot that there is a completely different situation between having a Yuanying Patriarch in charge of Huanyun Valley and not having a Yuanying Patriarch in charge.
If Grandmaster Tie falls into the evil cultivator’s plan and dies today, then we don’t know whether millions or tens of millions of people will die.
A Nascent Soul Lord can guard several countries with tens of millions of people, protecting them from monsters, demon cultivators, wars, and natural disasters.
The fall of a Nascent Soul Lord may be associated with the death of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people.
Yue Zhonghe went to sound the alarm bell at the sect station and gather manpower. Lin Qinghan originally flew away with his weapon and wanted to follow his ancestor to Jingling County, but halfway through the flight, he remembered his magical powers and immediately realized what he was doing. He reversed and flew back, knowing that he I'm afraid that going here at this time will not help, but will only cause trouble.
At this moment, in the sword rainbow, Lu Cheng still felt a surge of anger rushing towards the sky. At first, he really wielded the sword purely out of anger.
But after flying here, I regained some clarity in my heart, knowing that this might be a way for the demon cultivator to assassinate me.
For a profound demon cultivator, the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul monk is more valuable than the souls of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
But Lu Cheng was still pointing his sword directly at Jingling. He had practiced Taoism for more than two hundred years and if he did not change his mind, the worst he could do was to give up this Nascent Soul puppet, and he would have to pay a heavy price.
"In my life as a Taoist, in addition to the wonderful encounters and profound opportunities, what I rely on most is the courage in my heart. Prudence, stability, and wisdom are the virtues of a Taoist, but so are courage and sincerity. Who will kill me? I will kill them back."
When we arrived at Jingling County, we could already see the tragic scene below being hit by the flood. Houses collapsed and people were struggling in the water.
But Lu Cheng did not go down to save people. Instead, he summoned a sixth-level puppet to control Xuanyin Sword Rainbow and continued to Jingling. At the same time, he himself merged with the sword light of the Five Elements Flying Sword and disappeared into the void in an instant. To be without a trace, the Five Elements Great Escape combined with Tianyi Zhenjue blends into nature without a trace.
The sixth-level puppet is the combat power of the early Yuanying. Lu Cheng himself also has the explosive killing power of the early Yuanying. At this moment, the more angry he is, the colder and purer his mind becomes. Because emotions cannot kill the enemy, the sword can.
Of course, in Lu Cheng, fists or flames are also acceptable.
The core argument of this book is courage and accumulation. Unfortunately, I didn’t write it well.
