Chapter Eighty-Three: Tombstones
Only cooperation with the same direction and no conflict of interests can achieve sustainable development.
What the Wuji Pavilion and the Underworld Sect wanted was to exclude dissidents, unify the world's cultivator realm, and eventually take the world's limited and most superior cultivation resources for themselves. For cultivators, worldly power is not very attractive, because to obtain this kind of power, it often takes painstaking efforts and hard work, and the price is very high, and the gains outweigh the losses.
For ordinary people who have no choice, power is indeed very attractive, just like when they are hungry, who cares about what they have to say, it is enough to fill their stomachs. What cultivators are pursuing is a higher level of existence, a more comfortable state of existence that transcends their own longevity. The power pursued by ordinary people depends on a system in which everyone restrains each other to achieve a balance, and by manipulating this balance, the concentration of power is indirectly realized. As for cultivators, their own strength represents everything, it is a kind of direct power, there is no need to beat around the bush, the stronger the strength, the smaller the constraints on themselves, and the greater the power, so in order to improve their strength, cultivation resources are the first thing they have to compete for.
What Hu Yan'er represents is the Heavenly Fox Clan, what the Heavenly Fox Clan wants, on the surface, is the Qingtian Seal and the treasures of the four major sects, but in fact, the real goal is the Tortoiseshell Heavenly Book. Regarding the Tianhu Clan, Liangchen asked Qian Tianzun a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, but Qian Tianzun refused to disclose any information to him on the grounds that Liangchen's strength was low. Some rules are secret, and no one will easily break them, and this is something that is well known, so he has to give up.
Liangchen was alone, and under the condition of sufficient spiritual power, he quickly whipped all the way, urging the goose walking technique to the extreme, and entered Chu in just three days. Liangchen did not fly along the official road, but chose to skim between the inaccessible mountains. The reason why this is so is that firstly, for the sake of secrecy, whether his trip is to help Feng Pavilion fight against the Demon Sect, or to explore the secrets of the Nine Heavens Nirvana, he needs to do it in secret. Second, it can reduce detours, and flying in a straight line can reduce many detours.
As a yellow-level superlative technique, the principle of the Wild Goose Technique is to use a special spiritual power conversion method to transform part of its own spiritual power into a spiritual power similar to the thin spiritual power that exists between heaven and earth, so as to achieve the purpose of lightening the body, and can control part of the spiritual power of heaven and earth to achieve flying. It is precisely because this mystic technique is so special that it is used to save spiritual power when it is used to fly, and the speed is still very fast. The conversion of spiritual power is completed through the meridians, and the meridians of Liangchen have long been able to achieve forward and reverse or even positive and negative at the same time. After experiencing the rough waves of the sea, a little wave in the river is no longer enough to make Liangchen have a special heartbeat.
What kind of existence is an immortal? Liangchen thought as he flew by, his cognition of the top powerhouses in this world only stopped at some of the stories about the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Ancient Ages popularized by Qian Tianzun, and he didn't know anything about where the powerhouses in this world had gone after he was broken up and sealed by his soul. In today's world, no one has ever really seen the gods, at least among the people who know Liangchen, no one knows, this mysterious powerhouse only exists in legends and the beliefs of the world. But Liangchen can be sure that immortals definitely exist, but they will not or cannot come to the world and influence the affairs of the world.
According to Qi Tianzun, the reason why mortals can become immortals is because they have cultivated the Yuan Shen, which is a very special form of energy, and has the inner Dan to continuously refine spiritual power and provide energy, so the Yuan Shen can exist for a long time without naturally dissipating, which is the so-called eternal state. Yuan Shen, simply put, is the transformation of the soul, which is a special independent way of existence of will and mental power. However, those who have cultivated the primordial god have an extraordinary understanding of the various laws of heaven and earth, and they can better explore the origin of this heaven and earth, so they can accurately control all kinds of energy in this heaven and earth, and have all kinds of magical powers, which is the naïve realm mentioned by the Daomen.
Only by getting closer and closer to the opponent's strength level can you better understand the opponent's toughness. With the improvement of his own strength, Liangchen felt more and more the strength and terror of the immortals, and even the strength of the Sky Fox Clan represented by Hu Yan'er made him very jealous. This world is too big, so big that many things are beyond Liangchen's cognition, and similarly, there are many terrifying beings that can crush themselves, such as exotic demons, finch, etc. With the broadening of his knowledge and the enhancement of his strength, Liangchen became more and more cautious, not daring to have the slightest pride and complacency, and he was far from reaching the top of the road of the strong.
Thoughts flew all the way, and before I knew it, Liangchen came to the deep mountains outside Shaozhou City. Liangchen stopped flying, walked in a canyon on foot, looked at the green peaks around him, and said to himself: "Friend, you have been following me for hundreds of miles, it's time to show up." The moment he entered Chu Di, Liangchen sensed the existence of the other party, but he kept pretending not to know, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. But along the way, the other party had no intention of making a move, and finally after arriving here in the deep mountains, Liangchen felt the strange fluctuations of the aura of heaven and earth here, the tail behind disappeared, and there was a special strong man waiting for him in front, which was about to close the net.
A figure in a black cloak appeared a hundred feet in front of Liangchen. The person who came looked at Liangchen carefully, and asked curiously: "It is not an exaggeration to say that my shadow gate's hidden kung fu can be said to be unique in the world, how did you notice it?" There was an extremely unusual eerie aura on this person's body.
"People with a lot of curiosity don't usually live very long. Your Excellency is waiting for me in this barren mountain and wilderness, don't you want to invite me to dinner?" said Liangchen with a smile.
"Hehe, the last person who dared to talk to this king like this, the grass on the grave was already several feet high. The black cloak smiled sheepishly.
"You're not bad, you kill people and bury them, you are much more qualified than me. Liangchen said sarcastically, talking about the power of the tongue, Liangchen has not been afraid.
"Boy, you're crazy, but this king really wants to see if you're as tough as the legend says. The black cloak said, and offered a pitch-black tombstone more than a foot high, standing in front of him, and kept praying in his mouth. Suddenly, the entire valley was shrouded in black mist, and gusts of eerie ghost wind blew, accompanied by a miserable ghost cry, which made people feel suffocated. The black cloak's methods are very strange, like a mystical technique, and the intention is directed at the good day and locks it. It was also like a spatial formation, the moment the black cloak offered the tombstone, the space of the entire valley was locked. This method is more like a kind of witchcraft, as if it is summoning something, which has never been seen before.
"Finally met someone who was more anxious than me. Liangchen smiled and shook his head, releasing the spiritual power of Tu Xuedao Inflammation to deal with Yin Soul Yin Matter, Tu Xuedao Inflammation, the energy of the most positive and yang, often has miraculous effects. This black cloak didn't even report its name, and it went to work when he came up, needless to say, this person's purpose is very clear, that is, to take the life of a good day.
"Hurry!" the black cloak prayed, then suddenly turned his back to the sky, opened his arms, and shouted loudly. Suddenly, the entire valley shook violently, cracking cracks, and skeletons crawled out of the ground, and the situation in the entire valley was like the legendary hell. These skeletons summoned by the black cloak kept crawling out of the ground, all of them were full of resentment, some were still holding broken weapons, and the black hole eyes were full of bloodlust and killing, roaring and frantically surrounding Liangchen.
Liangchen only understood at this time why the other party chose to fight here. The terrain here is dangerous, it was originally the site of an ancient battlefield, and on the battlefield, there is no shortage of these skeletons and corpses, and it is perfect to perform this summoning technique here. The number of skeletons is too huge, it has crowded the entire valley, according to this formation, Liangchen will not be killed by the siege of skeletons, but will also be exhausted to death. These skeletons are all possessed by the ghosts, without the slightest sense of autonomy, completely under the control of the black cloak, truly fearless, this is a terrifying army of revenants.
Under the perception of his divine sense, Liangchen knew that the key to controlling these skeletons was on the tombstone of the black cloak. The tombstone continuously exuded a dark energy fluctuation, and the energy was mixed with a little annihilation power. This surprised Liangchen very much, this pitch-black tombstone is inextricably linked with exotic demons.
Without having time to think too much, the skeleton army had already attacked in front of Liangchen, who gathered the energy of the Blood Dao Flame into his fist and began to fight. For the Five Elements Divine Light, Liangchen is only a first glimpse of the doorway, and he can't use it skillfully, and he can't count on it in actual combat. With the continuous refining of the Spirit Cup, Liangchen became more and more proficient in the control and use of the Diagram Blood Dao Flame, although this energy was violent and uncontrollable, but once he mastered the trick, he was extremely handy in using it. The fluctuation of the spiritual power of the Diagram Blood Dao Flame is different from the origin spiritual power, it only has a specific incineration power, and does not have any other functions, unlike the origin spiritual power, which has powerful repair and various magical functions. It is precisely because of single-mindedness that its energy is more pure and terrifying.
The spiritual power of Tu Xuedao Yan hit the skeleton's body, and the yin soul attached to it instantly disappeared, completely dissipating between heaven and earth, and the skeleton also fell down and scattered all over the ground. Liangchen's attack was extremely fast, and his body brought out an afterimage, shuttling through the group of skeletons. Soon, the ground was filled with a thick layer of bones, but the number of skeletons was so large that it showed no sign of decreasing.
As the battle continued, Yoshijin himself suffered multiple wounds. In the attack of these skeletons, there is an extremely strong death qi, if it is not for Liangchen to have the origin spiritual power to repair, it is contaminated by the death qi on the body, and there is basically no possibility of survival. The number of skeletons is increasing, the attack is becoming more and more fierce, and Liangchen's spiritual power is rapidly depleting. The space of the entire valley has been locked, and if you want to escape, you can't escape, you can only fight to the death.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the corner of the black cloak had a satisfied smile on his mouth, in his opinion, Liangchen was already a turtle in the urn, and it was only a matter of time before he was killed. In order to shorten this time, the black cloak began a new prayer, and saw that in the black mist, it began to accumulate energy frantically, and there was a faint flash of thunder. Ghosts are the most afraid of thunder and lightning, and the thunder in the black fog is of course not a heavenly thunder, but a ghost thunder formed by the energy of the yin spirit. The ghost thunder continued to gather momentum, and the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger, wanting to kill Liangchen with one blow.
The black cloak shook his head as if it was not enjoyable, and until this time, Liangchen had not brought him too many surprises except for his quick repair ability, which made him somewhat disappointed.
