Yuxiao faction, on the Shenguang Cliff. Zhou Dongbo, the master of the main hall, sat on the high platform, and the person who sat down to talk to him was Zhou Liguang, the master of the Bibi Palace.

Zhou Liguang said: "In the first battle of the Northern Underworld, Li Fu was defeated, and the four demon clans had originally returned to the Yuanjun Palace, and it seemed that it was impossible to stop the Mingcang faction from invading the Southern Continent. ”

Zhou Dongbo's eyes were deep, and he said: "It's just that the Mingcang faction doesn't kill Li Fu, but I don't know what idea to fight." ”

Zhou Liguang said: "This also puzzled the younger brother, I went to ask in a letter yesterday, saying that he took a treasure in exchange for his life, Lu Junyang just let it go, only to ask again, but he was vague and refused to say what it was." ”

Zhou Dongbo smiled and said: "This thing must be extremely useful to the Mingcang faction, Li Fu didn't say anything, he didn't want to tell us in vain, he also had a hard fight with Lu Junyang, and it could be regarded as a contribution, so he sent some danyu as usual and let him speak." ”

Zhou Liguang frowned and said: "Senior brother, why should they get used to them, the Mingcang faction invaded the north, they can't talk about it, we will wait for inquiries, and hide it, if there is no care from my Yuxiao, how can they survive until now? According to the opinion of the junior brother, they should be given a lesson." ”

Zhou Dongbo said casually: "I still need to wait now, as long as these four demons are still on the North Hellworld, even if they don't do anything, the Mingcang faction will have to spend a few more points of energy on defense, then for me, it will be enough." ”

Zhou Liguang seemed to think of something, his face sank slightly, and said: "Mingcang sent the South China Sea to set up a formation, and its intention is to start the North Hell, which is an intention, and this time it is because of the waiting, so that I am powerless to threaten Mingcang's back." ”

Zhou Dongbo didn't care much, and said: "The South China Sea is not as good as the North Hellworld, and we are not as restrained as Mingcang." If it weren't for the sake of not losing the mana, it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of them. ”

Zhou Liguang hesitated for a moment and said: "The Lord of the Xinming Hall and the Lord of the Peak of Xinming came to the book yesterday, and the younger brother has already read it, and the letter says that the two of them have missed again. It has been defeated twice, so I begged the door to be punished, and said that only two of him might be difficult to hold Fenglinghai, so I want to send another person to guard the town. ”

Zhou Dongbo said: "There is no need to punish, the array was broken that day, and we also saw it in our eyes, Tao Zhenhong and others should have been planning for a long time, not their fault." Even if you change someone, you will inevitably have such a result, and as for the additional manpower......"

Speaking of this, he also pondered.

In his eyes, as long as it is blocked outside the Fengling Tomb and does not threaten Nanyazhou, it doesn't matter if the array is broken a few times, it is a big deal to confront it like this. So he said: "For the sake of my brother, there is no need to send people forward." At most, give the two of them a few real treasures, so that they can deal with it. ”

Zhou Liguang carefully reminded: "Senior brother." What I saw that day, the sword qi made by Tao Zhenhong and the others was too strong, and it seemed to have the ability to break the formation......"

Zhou Dongbo shook his head and said: "I've seen it for my brother, no matter how the sword qi is refined, it will eventually be gathered by the formation qi, which is not an overnight thing." It should be used in response to Mingcang, if you can take precautions in advance, it is not difficult to break it, and tell the two of them not to make a fuss, and keep it well. A lot of worries are shared in the door. ”

As he spoke, he heard a chime from the top of the temple, turned his eyes to the outer room, and asked, "What is the matter?"

A disciple said outside: "Back to the hall master, the Lord of Huiyang Peak is here." ”

Zhou Dongbo's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Please come in." ”

Shaoqing, an old Taoist dressed in a green cloth robe and wearing a Taoist crown stepped into the hall, it was Wu Ruyang, the lord of Huiyang Peak.

And when the two men in the hall saw him, they both stood up to greet each other, and after the two sides had given their salutes, they each sat down here.

Zhou Dongbo said with a smile: "Wu Zhenren came by coincidence, just now the two of us just talked about how to deal with the changes in the South China Sea, and the real person is here, just to discuss a countermeasure together." ”

Wu Ruyang said in a deep voice: "I am also here for this matter. ”

Zhou Dongbo was slightly surprised, and said, "Then I don't know how the real person thinks about it?"

Wu Ruyang said: "Wu thinks that Tao Zhenhong and the other three have broken through the Fengling Sea Formation one after another, and the backstrokes are endless, if you stay there and let it grow slowly, it will be difficult to control in the future, and it will be unfavorable to my Yuxiao, I must try to eradicate it earlier, even if it comes back afterwards, it can always be exchanged for dozens of years of peace." ”

Zhou Dongbo was silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Liguang said: "But Wu Zhenren, the big array built by those three people has become a climate, and it is not easy to break it, I heard that the Mingcang faction is now searching for treasures everywhere, and even did not hesitate to attack the North Underworld, and ordered the small sect under the sect to hand over the worship double, it can be seen that it is gradually exhausted, if it can be consumed like this, it can be dragged down in one or two hundred years, and it will not be easy to solve these people at that time?"

Wu Ruyang waved his hand and said: "What you see outside may not be true, you can only get five points for credibility, and it is very likely that the Mingcang faction will use a trick." If this is not the case, in the land of the northern half of the underworld, the spiritual materials are not as good as the two continents of the middle pillar and the south cliff, and it is barely enough to maintain the use of its door, and it is really impossible to count on this. ”

Zhou Dongbo pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The real person has a point, but in order to avoid the catastrophe, all the truths in the door are working hard, but it is not easy to break the mana." ”

Wu Ruyang said: "This is not no solution, the two of you also know, Wu's remaining lifespan is only one or two hundred years, I don't seek to soar, the improvement of merit is useless to me, I am willing to go to the sea to remove this hidden danger." ”

Zhou Dongbo said movingly: "Why should Wu Zhenren be like this, there are many life-prolonging things in the world, and I Yuxiao is still a real person." ”

Wu Ruyang shook his head and said, "Even if you prolong your life, if you don't practice in a place where the spiritual power is pure and pure, such as the spiritual eye, the essence of the essence will also decline every day, and by the time it is opened, how much combat power will be left?"

Speaking of this, he looked straight and said: "Two, I am willing to hold the treasure, break the great array on the sea, and guard the sea for the mountain gate for another hundred years, so as not to disturb the mountain gate, but I also ask the door to answer my matter." ”

The two of the Zhou family glanced at each other, and Zhou Dongbo first spoke: "Wu Zhenren, please speak clearly." ”

Wu Ruyang said solemnly: "After I go, Wu Fenggu can succeed me as the peak master, and I hope to ask for support from the door, naturally, if he doesn't make it, it will be difficult to break through the realm, and this matter will be stopped, and there is no need to mention it again." ”

Zhou Dongbo sighed: "This matter is very big, and I can't make the decision, only the Venerable Master." to reply to Wu Zhenren. ”

Wu Ruyang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for the two senior brothers to reply, I have to come here today, don't disturb the two, so I will leave first." ”

With that, he stood up and shook his head. He said "stay", and turned around and went out.

The two of the Zhou family got up and watched him go all the way out of the hall.

Zhou Liguang looked at it and said, "Senior brother, you ...... this matter."

Zhou Dongbo said: "Needless to say, the Master has his own judgment in this matter, and we don't need to make our own opinions." ”

A few days later, Yuxiao sent back to Yang Peak Lord Wu Ruyang to Fenglinghai in person to plan for the next three months. Ordered Zhou Ruying and Wu Yunbi to respond to the strategy of repairing the heavenly pavilion to break the formation of the treasure "Pinghaiyue" for half a month, and finally destroyed the sea array, Tao Zhenhong and the other three escaped through the Dragon Palace, and returned to the East China Sea again, and entered the small world to practice, in order to recover the lost mana as soon as possible.

After Wu Ruyang retreated to the three of them, he was stationed on the Fengling Sea. Dispatch the disciples of the clan to build a formation again, but it will only take half a year. Then another forbidden array was set up, and Zhou and Wu returned to the mountain gate, and he was here alone, and it seemed that he would not leave in a short time.

During this period, it soon spread to the Mingcang sect, but Zhang Yan was still in retreat. Qi Yuntian and Huo Xuan both thought that it was not appropriate to move again in the past few decades, and after ordering someone to send some danyu to the East China Sea, they did not pay attention to the South China Sea for the time being. At this moment, in the north of the underworld, the southern continents have already been pacified, and the four demons are not out of the palace. All of a sudden, both the north and the south were calm and settled.

The mountains do not know the years, time passes, and in a blink of an eye, another forty years have passed.

In the Duzhen Palace, Zhang Yan's eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be a wisp of purple flashing in his eyes, and he put down the Immortal Essence Stone in his hand, which had become extremely gray.

At this moment, three of the four essence stones have become dim, and only the one that has not taken the purple clear aura has been removed, and it still maintains its original appearance.

Since his retreat, his mana has been constantly rising, and it can be said that the longer he spends, the stronger his self-accumulation will become.

But today, there is no change, as if a deep pool has been stored to the extreme, and the mana has been increased and cannot be increased, no matter how the spiritual machine is refined, it is only scattered between heaven and earth, and it can no longer be improved.

At this moment, he can already feel that outside his body, there seems to be an invisible obstacle blocking the way up, and only by breaking it can he see his freedom.

He knew very well that as long as he broke through this shackle, he could truly step into the duality of imagery.

Cave Heaven Zhenren cultivated to this point, in fact, there was no great difficulty, as long as their own mana accumulated enough, they could pass this threshold, and after reaching the dual realm, if there was a layer of restraint between heaven and earth and their own body, whether it was the ability to breathe in the spiritual energy or the ability to restore the essence qi, it would be much higher than the first realm.

There are many names for this in the Taoist books, such as "brushing the dust and dirt", "passing the obstacle veil", "opening the mind", "pushing the curtain of emptiness", and so on.

However, this level is easy to pass, but if you go further, you need to go through several obstacles before you can enter the triple realm, and each level is more difficult than the last, and each level is stronger than the other. The stronger the foundation, the more obstacles they will experience. Either go through six levels, or go through nine levels, or even more likely to be above nine levels, it all depends on the foundation of the monk.

Zhang Yan was already stepping on the doorway at this moment, and it seemed that as long as he took a slight step forward, he could reach the opposite realm, but he did not rush over, but picked up an etched jade slip and looked at it repeatedly.

What is contained in the slip is the secret method passed down by the Tai Ying Patriarch, which can enable the cave monks in the door to borrow the help of the elixir after entering the dual realm, and at the same time operate the magic trick, so that they can break through the second to fourth layers of barriers at the opportunity to break through the realm.

The head of the three generations, Yuan Zhongzi, is reported to have passed the four obstacles once, and since then, the successive generations of caves in the Mingcang faction, including the later ascension to the real people, have all stopped at the three obstacles, and there is no one who can compare with it.

After Zhang Yan saw the secret method, he already knew that if he could break through more obstacles when breaking through the dual realm, then the path to the triple level would be much smoother in the future, at least saving more time of hard work.

He shook his sleeves, stood up, shook his face to the sky, and said, "Disciple, please ask the ancestor to give the Fa." ”

After a while, I saw a yellow light flying above the zenith, and when I looked closely, it was a silk book.

As soon as he raised his hands, he put them in his hands, and then slowly opened them, but when he glanced at them, there was a blank space on the silk book.

There was no surprise in his expression, and as soon as he turned the exercise, a line of handwriting slowly appeared on it.

This is the barrier-breaking pill passed down by the ancestor of Tai Ming, but this is also different from person to person, because the monk has different understandings, different roots, different merits, different backgrounds, and even different longevity, and the foreign medicine used is also different.

He looked at it, looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and said, "This method can also be used by me." ”

Many of the elixirs contained in the pills could no longer be found in Jiuzhou, but there were still some in the small realm, but the number was not much, and at the moment, only the masters of the three halls like him could use them.

He beckoned, summoned the array spirit, pointed to the elixir on it, and said, "You have gathered it, I need to open the furnace for alchemy later." ”

The array spirit had been used under the master of the Duzhen Hall in previous dynasties, and it was obviously not the first time to search for the elixir, she said: "Master, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go back when they go." ”

Only an hour later, the array spirit turned around, and she was blessed, and said: "According to the master's words, the slave and maid have obtained all the elixirs contained in the pill, but some spiritual materials are not many, and they can be refined four or five times at most." ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It's enough." ”

Jin Ling said: "Does the master want the slave to open the Dan furnace now?"

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Open the furnace." He waved his sleeves, walked through the formation gate, stepped into the Dan room, and then sat down, and used his mana to seal the place.

Because refining this elixir requires great mana, but only his own family knows what kind of fire it is, so he is the only one who can sacrifice it. The same is true of the cave innocence in the past dynasties in the Duzhen Palace. Fortunately, how to alchemy can be helped by the array spirit, and those who are not familiar with alchemy only need to know how to maintain the fire.

Zhang Yan studied under Zhou Chongju, although he didn't dare to say that he was good at alchemy, but on this way, he was far better than many peers, and it was extremely smooth in this time, but in half a month, he got three pills, but he only got one chance to break the barrier, and it was useless to have two more pills.

He took one into his sleeve, stepped open the door, returned to the hall to sit down, and picked up the jade slip on the case.

The barrier-breaking method was just an erosion, although he was quite accomplished in this way, but after some deduction, there were a few places where he could not make up his mind.

If you go in different directions, then you will also have different results, which is good and which is bad, only on the surface, but it is impossible to judge. And once you step out, you are making a mistake, and there is no turning back.

He pondered for a while, used his mana to lure the pill and hid it in the Dharma body, but he did not refine it immediately, but held the remnant jade in his hand, sank his mind and body into it, and slowly deduced it.
