lethal arsenal

Chapter 655 Tongtian Talisman?

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

Cave stone chamber.

Taoist scriptures record that "Yuquan" can also refer to Kanhu, or water tiger, in alchemy.

The golden clouds represent the Li dragon in alchemy, that is, the fire dragon.

Yuquan Mountain and Jinxia Cave represent the harmony of water and fire.

This place is the Taoist temple of Jade Ding Zhenren.

One of the four most outstanding among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

This period saw the Yellow Emperor attain enlightenment, ascend to heaven on a dragon, and rule over the Three Realms.

The Chan sect has the most influence.

Among the twelve golden immortals selected by Yuanshi Tianwang, four of them are the most outstanding.

The first Guangchengzi has the greatest magical power and the deepest Taoist fruit. He is also the imperial teacher of Huangdi.

His popularity once surpassed that of the deputy leader of the Chan sect, the Taoist Master Ran Deng.

The second red sperm has the deepest roots.

The magic weapon is second only to Guangchengzi. The Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror and the Immortal Robe are quite famous among all the gods and Buddhas.

But the most amazing thing is that his relationship can reach Laojun.

There is another rumor that Chi Jingzi was supposed to be the second disciple under Laojun and the second senior brother of Xuanmen after the great master Xuandu.

It was just by chance that I joined the Chan sect.

Among the four golden immortals.

Ranked third is Yu Ding.

There are the fewest magic weapons, and the magic power is generally great.

However, his physical strength and fighting ability are said to be the best among the Twelve Golden Immortals.

The magic weapons are different.

One is King Wen's Mountain and River Tripod, and the other is the Xianjian Sword.

That’s right, it’s the Xian-Xian Sword that was part of the Zhuxian Sword Formation set up by the Sage Tongtian.

During the Shang Dynasty, during the Battle of the Gods, Yu Ding was one of the four people arranged by Yuanshi Tianwang to take the sword in the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

In addition, I would like to mention that the last of the four golden immortals of the orthodox teaching is Qingxu Daode Tianzun.

He is not only the youngest disciple of Yuanshi Tianwang, but also the Golden Immortal with the greatest merits.

Back to the point.

At this time, in the spacious stone chamber, Yang Jian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, prostrating himself before a Taoist who was smoking on the stone bed.

"Master, please let me in. If I can't avenge Roaring Sky Dog, what difference is there between me, Yang Jian, and that rotten grass and wood?"

Yang Jian said with a gloomy face and his head buried deeply.

Crystal jade grew on the stone walls all around. In the room, besides the stone table and stone chairs, there were some futons woven with hemp and loose cloth.

Huh, Jade Ding Zhenren put down his pipe slowly and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Once you go in, you may not be able to come out. Compared with a life span of tens of millions of years, enduring honor and disgrace for a while is nothing. Your body has already become holy, and you are making progress every day. You only need to work hard for another three to five hundred years before you can break through. Why bother to rush for a moment?"

Jade Ding Zhenren advised.

This Taoist has an immortal appearance and at first glance appears to be in his early 40s or 50s, calm and capable.

But the gray hair makes him look haggard and old.

But if you look closely, you can see that the depths of his eyes are full of vitality, like a vast and unrestrained ocean, which is truly amazing.

"Master, you know very well that the catastrophe of heaven and earth has begun. I, I can't wait any longer."

Yang Jian raised his head suddenly, looked at the Taoist on the stone bed with a fierce face and said.

Those sharp eyes, full of ferocity, were like the light of a sword, piercing through the curling smoke.

"Forget it, go ahead. Your life or death is your own responsibility."

Yu Ding waved his hand and said with some disappointment.

Bang bang bang.

Yang Jian kowtowed three times before slowly standing up.

"Although my Mountain and River Cauldron has extraordinary magical powers and may be able to open the shackles of your physical body, the real fire refining the body is more painful than when Monkey King was thrown into the alchemy furnace."

The voice paused, and then continued: "Sun Wukong still has a Xun position to hide, if you can't help it, you will only end up turning into ashes."

Jade Ding Zhenren said again and again.

Apart from Yang Jian, he had no other disciples under his command.

Although the great demon Yuan Hong during the Conferred God Period could also perform seventy-two transformations, they did not come from Jade Ding Zhenren.

So one can imagine how much he loves this disciple.

The battle to become a god.

Yang Jian claimed that he had achieved sainthood in the flesh, but in fact he was also suffering the consequences on behalf of his master.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect occupied too much of the destiny of heaven and earth, and they all raised disciples to fight in wars on their behalf, or were granted titles in heaven.

A few people with bad luck still couldn't escape having the three flowers at the top of their heads cut off.

This is why there were a lot of traitors to the orthodox teachings who later turned against Taoism and joined Buddhism.

It is now difficult to explain the causes and effects, merits and demerits.

However, Erlang Shen Yang Jian's strength is actually locked in the Heaven-Locking Level among the Celestial Immortals, and he has hardly made any progress in thousands of years.

One can only rely on time to constantly sharpen the shackles in the body in the hope of breaking through.

and……

Until now, the killing has happened again.

Yang Jian originally wanted to get through this peacefully, but the tragic death of Xiaotian Dog made him realize that he had been in danger for a long time.

What’s more…that day, Yang Jian wanted to seek revenge on Lin Dong, but was taken into the Black Lotus Space by the Demon Lord.

"If you go find him now, you will surely die. If you want to recreate the demeanor of Qingyuan Dao Miao Tianzun and break the cage of the flesh, hehe, I will point you to a place, Yuquan Mountain."

At that time, in the Black Lotus Space, the Demon Lord said these words without hesitation.

After much deliberation, Yang Jian finally found his teacher's name.

"I am recast with the true fire to create a physical body. All kinds of suffering are inflicted on my body. I can endure it."

Yang Jian said without turning his head, and pushed open the stone door weighing ten thousand pounds with one hand.

"Ugh."

Inside the stone chamber, only Jade Ding Zhenren was left stroking his beard and sighing.

On one side of the stone chamber is the alchemy room.

In the center of the room, there was nothing else except an ancient bronze tripod.

The bronze tripod is of simple style, with countless ancient inscriptions engraved on it. The tripod is two meters high, with traces of copper green on all four corners, and even moss growing on some parts.

It had obviously been left there for a long time.

Yang Jian stood beside the tripod in silence for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "The divine object has a spirit, it will help me achieve the great way."

boom!
After he finished speaking, he slapped the cauldron with one hand. It was clearly a palm as light as a feather, but it seemed to be filled with a tremendous force.

The entire cauldron vibrated and the inscriptions on it lit up with golden light one after another.

A terrifying suction force repeatedly drained the magic power from Yang Jian's body. In just a moment, all the magic power of Yang Jian, a heavenly being at the level of Locking Heaven, was drained out, making Yang Jian's lungs seem to be cracked and his face pale without a trace of blood.

After the huge murderous aura was injected into the cauldron.

Teng! Suddenly, a fierce whistle sounded.

The spiritual energy turned into true fire, and the golden flames filled the entire alchemy room in an instant.

The golden flames that wrapped around the tripod were the most intense, and so bright that there was not a single color impurity.

Yang Jian's entire body was burned naked in the flames, even his eyebrows and hair were burned off, and a look of pain appeared on his face. His body changed and turned into a ferocious white-haired monkey with snow-white teeth and golden claws, a full foot tall.

The pain is still growing.

After Yang Jian used the Eight-Nine Profound Art to transform into Wuzhiqi, he was still burned by the golden flame that was comparable to the real fire of the sun, and he gritted his teeth.

The originally dried-up internal organs, due to the heat of the flames, actually began to exude traces of magical power.

The sharp hairs like steel needles were singed bit by bit, and Yang Jian's pupils were bloodshot, but he gritted his teeth and jumped into the bronze cauldron without hesitation.

"Master, please use the fire of the elixir to refine me. Refine me, refine me..."

The last few ending notes kept echoing.

In the stone chamber.

Jade Ding Zhenren's lips moved slightly, "Fool, Foolish boy, you don't have that fate at all, why bother fighting for it?"

A bitter smile appeared on his face. Even though he knew that he was being plotted against by his disciple, Jade Ding Zhenren was silent for a moment, "Well, you have brought thousands of years of freedom to me. Even though I know that you are going against the will of heaven, I will help you today."

As Jade Ding Zhenren's mind moved, the flames in the alchemy chamber were tightened into several strands, and the fire began to change.

From Yang Jian's originally dried-up body, he once again squeezed out magical power from his eight extraordinary meridians.

The Eight-Nine Profound Art is extremely mysterious. The surging magic power is like streams converging and then suddenly bursting through the dam and rushing into the soul.

His body in the cauldron began to change again. Sometimes he turned into the Winged Immortal, his old rival from the Conferred God Period, and sometimes he turned into the Nine-Headed Saint, or the Flowery Marten in Mo Lishou's hands.

Use seventy-two transformations to alleviate the pain of being refined by the fierce fire.

The flames in the alchemy room also turned into fire dragons, roaring and whirling around the bronze cauldron... When the fire was too fierce, Yang Jian turned into a human body, and his skin all over his body was naturally burned by the fire and cracked.

But if you look closely, you can find that the skin on Yang Jian's back has been worn into broken gold, like wrinkles all over metal.

Red magma is about to gush out from the body through the cracks.

The chains in the dark broke.

Endless power burst out from his soul.

……

A dark cloud appeared from nowhere in the sky above the lake at the foot of Yuquan Mountain.

The rumbling sound of drums, coming from the dark clouds, seemed particularly dense.

"How can you, the bold Jade Tripod, drain the spiritual energy of a hundred thousand miles to help the growth of one person and one family?"

The voice of the Thunder God came through the dark clouds.

Crash.

Huge waves rolled up on the lake, and a black dragon raised its head from the water: "Master, please forgive me. I hope you will not beat me anymore. If I have offended you in any way, I would rather have my scales peeled off and my tendons pulled out, in the hope of your forgiveness. If you continue like this, the bottom of Yuquan Mountain will be connected to the center of the North Sea, and there will be endless casualties among the fish and insects."

The old dragon said timidly.

"There's no need to do this, old neighbor. All your losses will be made up by the Jade Tripod in the next thousand years."

A faint voice came from the Jinxia Cave, and the Dragon King of the North Sea slowly sank his head to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing the old dragon retreat and the dark clouds dissipate, Yu Ding didn't care. He just said to Yang Jian in the alchemy room: "My disciple, Huangdi wanted to cast a tripod to become an immortal, but it is difficult to achieve this. However, he also left behind a chapter of "Geng Xin Jing" to refine the soul. Now I will pass this chapter to you, hoping that you can go further. You are a person with great roots. There are fifty great ways, and one of them escapes. If you find the one that escaped, you may have the opportunity to take the last step in the future."

The sound was neither slow nor fast, but it was like a trickle of stream water flowing into Yang Jian's ears.

……

Another place, a tea shed.

"There are fifty great ways. If you escape one of them, even if you fail to achieve the Dao fruit, you still have a chance to become a quasi-saint. That one finger is a decree that will be issued by the Tongtian Saint in the near future. It is also called the Tongtian Talisman! If you can obtain this item, you will have a chance to prove the Dao and take the last step in your cultivation."

The Demon Lord slowly closed the lid of the bowl and told Lin Dong all the steps in attaining enlightenment.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Lin Dong asked rhetorically.

The Demon Lord smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that the arsenal belongs to you just because it is in your possession? That is the result of the struggle among countless great witches and demon gods who were unwilling to yield to the selfishness of the heaven. It is also a loophole in heaven and earth. It is the loophole that designated you, not you who designated the loophole. Similarly, just because you are the master of the arsenal now, it does not mean that it will not be taken away by someone one day."

"Humph, I'll believe you if you say so, you..."

Lin Dong was halfway through his words when he met the Demon Lord's eyes.

In those turbid eyes, there was an irrepressible contempt for everything, and in those gray pupils there was a sense of desolation that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Lin Dong was slightly startled, and skipped over the previous topic, and asked instead: "Then what do you think I should do next?"

"Oh. That's your own business."

The Demon Lord flicked his sleeves lightly, and the entire tea stall began to fade, like a black and white painting, slowly losing its original color, disappearing bit by bit until it disappeared completely.

Lin Dong reached out and grabbed the teacup on the table. He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

"Normal tea?"

Lin Dong raised his brows slightly, and the cup in his hand gradually became empty.

When he looked up again, the tea stall and the Demon Lord had completely disappeared, as if everything he had just seen was just an illusion, as unreal as a dream.

And he was standing at the foot of the Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Temple.

"Do you want to go up and take a look?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and then Lin Dong remembered that the Demon Lord said that Yang Jian was now practicing in Yuquan Mountain.

There would be no point even if I went to its lair.

Will you be happy if you kill a bunch of minions?
It's a bit too tasteless.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong turned around abruptly, flapped his wings, grabbed something with his hand, and immediately fell into another space.

Yinjing Cave Heaven, Wuliang Mountain.

Back then, when Lin Dong used the Heavenly Demonic Technique to swallow the mountain in one gulp, he saved a number of his disciples, as well as most of the demons and monsters.

But after all, how can the spiritual energy in the Yintu space compare to that in the prehistoric world.

Plus.

Nowadays, the Black Wind Monster, the Yellow Robe Monster, Red Boy and others live in Wuliang Mountain.

Every demon king absorbs and exhales huge amounts of spiritual energy day and night.

In addition, He Xiangu, the only female among the Eight Immortals, is imprisoned here.

People eat and horses eat. Even if Lin Dong has a vast amount of spiritual power at the level of swallowing the sky, he cannot afford to squander it.

Therefore, it is urgent to find another mountain or river in the outside world and open up a cave.

And where is the fairy mountain?
Lin Dong had a goal in mind.

If you haven't made up your mind before.

Well, as the Demon Lord told him, there will be changes in the future.

And the extremely precious Tongtian Edict is about to appear in the world.

At this moment, Lin Dong decided to make preparations in advance.

And his best paradise is Qingshan.

Green mountains in the netherworld.

The true dojo of the Queen Mother of the West, her foundation.

Whether from the oath made that year to form an alliance with the Queen Mother of the Nine Netherworlds, or from the perspective of the Forest of Corpses and the Ancient God of the Prison Breaking Blade, there was a battle between Lin Dong and the Queen Mother of the West.

Although I don't sympathize with Yu Yu deep down in my heart, this is undoubtedly a very good excuse to intervene.

Qingshan itself is also the first place for the underworld gods to practice in the world.

Wu Luo Niang of Qingshan, known as the Valkyrie in the world, is the emperor of heaven's personal guard and, to some extent, can be considered an incarnation of the Queen Mother of the West.

Seizing Qingshan Mountain and establishing the Infinite Demon Kingdom—that was Lin Dong’s current plan.

And since we want to deal with the Queen Mother of the West.

Well, one has to be mentioned.

That is the Fragrant Fairy.

Lin Dong descended upon Yinjing Cave mainly to extract some important information from Hanxiang. Only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
