………………………
In the starry sky, the old man named Luo Kunzi stood alone in silence.
Everything that happened in the Demon King Valley was vivid in his mind. The arrival of the ancient beast was really unexpected. The demon clan has a new master and will become more powerful. And the future demon domain will also have a few more unpredictable variables.
However, the young man who practiced both demons and monsters was able to escape safely under the eyes of the demon kings, which was a bit unbelievable...
After a while, Luo Kunzi looked back. In the turbulent flow of the nebula, there was no trace of the former demon domain. He held his long beard and shook his head gently. Such a mysterious place will eventually be known to more people. Although the demon kings are unfriendly and domineering, they are not useless...
Luo Kunzi smiled slightly, and suddenly his long eyebrows moved.
Thousands of miles away, more than a dozen streams of light rushed over with great momentum.
Luo Kunzi snorted disapprovingly, then swung his long sleeves, raised his foot and stepped into the void, and disappeared in an instant.
After a while, a group of Chiluan beasts came running, running around in a daze...
...
In the Ghost Realm, Mei Niang took Song Xuanzi and the immortal slave to check around.
Lin Yi left the strange formation and sat alone to rest. The previous escape was a desperate effort. The demon king Jin Sheng was really powerful, and it was a bit presumptuous to fight against him. And the turbulent flow in the void was like a wind blade, which was difficult to stop even the cloud robe and dragon armor. Although he was safe now, he was still covered with wounds.
Under the night sky, a layer of Xuantian shield more than ten feet thick flashed white light. Without the disturbance of the cold air, Lin Yi, who was sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes. After taking the elixir given by Song Xuanzi and breathing for half a day, the injuries in his body were no longer serious, and the cut skin had healed. He put away the two immortal crystals used for absorption and looked up to pay attention to the situation around him. Mei Niang and the other two were still searching in the distance. It seemed that there was something special in this valley...
Mei Niang said that she had heard of the Ghost Realm a long time ago, but she never knew where it was. However, there are records in the few classics of the Sky Fox Clan that it is a place where life and death cycle, ghosts and spirits are in trouble, etc. According to Song Xuanzi's interpretation, the Ghost Realm is a place where yin and yang cycle. Those who do not want to reincarnate as living beings become ghosts and spirits, and naturally they can also practice, which is the so-called ghost cultivation. There are those who claim to be immortals, but they hide in the dark and cold. Only they can taste it. It can be seen that all things in the world are in reincarnation, and ghost cultivation will never become a great way.
In addition, the cycle of life and death requires the suffering of "three forgetfulness" and "seven extinctions". The three forgetfulness refers to forgetting life, forgetting death, and forgetting the world; the seven extinctions are to cut off the seven emotions of the world. This is the origin of forgetting the previous life and ending the previous relationship after reincarnation. Come to think of it, since everything is destined to reincarnate, why should we cling to one life! Becoming a ghost or a spirit is still a bit unavoidable!
Song Xuanzi also said that there is more than one place with strong yin energy in the world. Since the mustard seed of Mount Xumi can become the universe, how can the reincarnation of the dojo be limited to superficial cognition. Therefore, if you rashly enter the ghost and spirit realm, you might as well be curious and broaden your horizons.
Another thing is that the place adjacent to the ghost and spirit realm is rich in fairy crystals...
Such things are the words of Song Xuanzi's family and are not reliable. Believe it or not, it's up to you.
Lin Yi has no intention of delving into the truth of Song Xuanzi's words, or he doesn't care about them at all. Who cares about his past life and present life, just live a good life and walk once, that's enough! He restrained his thoughts a little, immersed his consciousness in the Qiankun Ring, and did not forget to recall everything that had happened in the Demon King Valley...
Only by sacrificing blood can the demon altar be opened. I don't know if the bloody spit he spit out was an accident. And for countless thousands of years, there has never been a legacy of the ancient demon king. After breaking the altar that was worshipped as a shrine by the demon clan, the treasure actually broke through the air. In addition to the blood essence obtained by Hu Tou, there was also a jade slip and a jade plaque...
In the corner of the Qiankun Ring, the three things lay quietly.
With a thought, a jade slip fell into Lin Yi's hand. This is a magic formula called "Heaven and Earth Formula". It is not long, only a few hundred words. It is said that one step to heaven, one step to earth; up to the nine heavens, down to the netherworld, only one step! Its realm is improved with the improvement of cultivation, Brahma small success, cave heaven great success...
This is... Clutching the jade slip in his hand, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, his heart still beating "bang, bang". This is a fairy law from ancient times, or in other words, it is a method of escape performed by a fairy master! With the cultivation of Brahma realm, one can cultivate the "Heaven and Earth Secret" to a small success; by analogy, only when reaching the realm of Dongtian can the escape method be cultivated to a great success...
The unexpected surprise made Lin Yi a little unable to control himself. After a while, he grinned and laughed dumbly, feeling that he had no future. It was like someone sending a pillow when you were sleepy. Before, he felt powerless for his own escape method, but now he has this one step of heaven and earth...
However, why are there only the realms of small success and great success in "Heaven and Earth Secret"? Is it because of the incompleteness of the method, or other reasons?
Lin Yi read the jade slip in his hand again, and there was no damage or incompleteness. He then frowned and pondered secretly. This escape method and cultivation complement each other. Without the corresponding mana blessing, it is impossible to display the magic of one step of heaven and earth. According to the "Dongzhen Sutra", after the realm of combined cultivation, there are still four realms of Brahma and three realms of Dongtian. The four realms of Brahma are described in great detail, namely, Immortal, Celestial, Golden, and Immortal Lord. The three realms of Cave Heaven are only briefly mentioned, namely, Cave True, Cave Mysterious, and Cave God. After that, nothing more...
In "Heaven and Earth Jue", there is also no mention of the method of cultivating to perfection. And the inheritance of the demon clan is not easy! This must be the most precious thing on the Demon King's body, and there may be another mystery behind it! After the Three Realms of Dongtian, is there still an unknown pinnacle?
Lin Yi is not a person who aims too high. Even though he has known about the realms in the "Dong Zhen Jing" for a long time, he has never taken it to heart. After arriving in the Immortal Realm, he faced powerful opponents one after another, making him feel weak and weak.
In the past, I had high aspirations but always kept my head down and walked on my own. Now, when I raise my head, I have to keep my eyes wide open to avoid losing my way like a starship. Perhaps, this vast starry sky is still just a scenery...
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows lightly and his eyes flashed with stars. He put away the jade slips and looked at the three extra jade tablets on his knees. One is black, one is white, and one is red, each with simple patterns of black basalt, white tiger, and red bird. Picking it up, he couldn't help but look condensed.
The moment the black Xuanwu jade token was acquired, the icy cold primeval energy surged in, making people feel stunned. There is an obscure formula vaguely visible in it, as well as the three-character mark of 'Xuanwu Order'. But in an instant, Lin Yi's consciousness was in chaos, his breath was suffocated, his heart and soul were agitated, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly dropped the things in his hands, his expression changed for a while, and he was still frightened.
After a moment, Lin Yi felt that his energy and blood were flowing smoothly, so he carefully picked up the other two jade tablets, not daring to use his consciousness rashly. If the guess is correct, the two jade tablets, which are the same size and similar in appearance but different in color, should be the Vermillion Bird Token and the White Tiger Token respectively. One of the four elephants is missing, only the Azure Dragon Order!
Lin Yi thought for a while and took out a stone tablet with dragon-shaped decoration. Its yellow and white colors vary, like a bad stone, which is far different from the three jade tablets. This thing comes from the ghost market in Kyushu. It is the token of the Dragon Clan, but it is not the Azure Dragon Order as imagined. In his consciousness just now, he could clearly see the formula in the White Tiger Order, which seemed like a royal method...
"Lin...Senior Lin!"
A familiar call came, it was Xian Nu, Mei Niang and Song Xuanzi who were approaching. Lin Yi had no time to ponder the purpose of the jade token, so he put it away and removed the Xuantian Shield for self-defense.
Mei Niang came over shortly afterwards, with a flash of eyebrows, she glanced at the disciple and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin has both life-saving grace and favor for you. You should be your teacher..."
Xian Nu stopped two feet in front of Lin Yi, as if he was too shy, took a few breaths and said, "Nu'er is just worried about Senior Lin's injury..."
Mei Niang smiled knowingly and said: "My Tianhu clan has no taboos. Even if you choose another job, you will still be my clansman and my disciple..."
In the dark and windy night, Xian Nu looked increasingly shy and charming. She hummed softly, turned around and hid behind Song Xuanzi without saying a word.
Seeing that Lin Yi stood up from the ground and was unharmed, Mei Niang nodded with relief and said, "While fellow Taoist vomiting was taking place to heal his wounds, the three of us took a look around. This valley is no less than a million miles in radius. , there are nine formations in total, the one in the center is the largest, and there is a ten thousand-foot stone tower standing in the sky, which may be the way out..."
At this point, Mei Niang and Song Xuanzi exchanged glances. The other took a step forward and said with emotion: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that this ghost realm would be like this. Just take a look..." He turned around and waved his hands to part it and said: "The five-color crystal stones are paved with the five elements of the formation; the black and white clouds and mist are dense, which represents the two divisions of yin and yang in the birth of chaos. Among the coming and going souls, humanoid and animal bodies can be found everywhere. There is no doubt that, This is the place of reincarnation for demon cultivators. It is not by chance that we came here. And how the demon king left his legacy and connected with the demon altar when he died is unknown..."
Song Xuanzi's words are somewhat insightful. Lin Yi heard the other party continue to say: "...the other seven formations are owned by animals, birds and beasts, to name a few. The giant tower is located, the center of all things. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the sky is dim, perhaps it is the only way in and out. …”
Mei Niang echoed: "There may be powerful ghosts in various formations. We will pass through the gaps to be safe! Fellow Daoist Lin..." At this point, both she and Song Xuanzi looked earnest and waved. Understand Yilin's attitude of following the lead. In the eyes of the couple, the other party not only brought the White Tiger Supreme to the demon realm, but also snatched treasures from many demon kings and escaped safely. He also had the ability to cultivate both demons and demons, which was by no means as simple as an ordinary monk. Instead of trying to force him to stay, why not try your best to make friends with him...
Lin Yi responded: "Now that the three of you have figured out the way to go, it's time to set off..."
Mei Niang nodded and smiled, then turned to lead the way. Song Xuanzi cupped his hands to show his humility, and followed with a slight hesitation. Xiannu endured the chill that hit her body and looked back, waiting with an inexplicable closeness in her eyes. Lin Yi followed, staring at the crystal stones in the formation in the distance, secretly swallowing his saliva...
