Chapter 278: Golden Elixir Road, Enlightenment and Innovation

The speed of time flow is different from that in the secret realm of the ghost world in the outside world, and rich spiritual energy shrouds Wei Tengyuan.

In the attic on the top of the mountain, Gu Yunzhu seemed to be immersed in a transparent stream of starlight, with waves flickering and rippling endlessly. The whole person seemed illusory and unclear, with a deep blue bead floating in the sky, rising and falling unsteadily.

The invisible power of the stars is brought down from the sky by the star sand.

The graceful figure sitting upright was sprinkled with light, forming circles of indescribable invisible rainbow light.

There was a trace of pain on Gu Yunzhu's face. She had been in seclusion for years to improve her cultivation, and her divine power and soul had gradually recovered. Inevitably, she was touched by the bloody and tragic memories of her past life that she did not want to face.

A brutal killing collision occurred, and familiar gods collapsed into the void one after another.

The broken body is like a collapsing mountain, and the divine blood is like a boiling sea.

The weak figure was attacked from all directions, the galaxy was shattered, and a generation of lucky star fell.

A magnificent golden light swept across, covering the remaining soul that was almost trapped in darkness.

"Xin Zi, forget the past and live well!"

The low voice of admonition is still ringing in my ears, and when I look back I don’t know what year it is.

Gu Yunzhu opened her eyes and whispered, "The divine light of creation... Daoist friend Yanshan, he saved me."

She has already remembered her past life, "the essence of the morning star, the dazzling galaxy", she practiced the way of the auspicious stars of heaven and earth, stayed away from the disputes between the ways of immortals and gods, and became a free and leisurely practitioner.

He is friends with many Taoist masters, and Fellow Daoist Yanshan is just one of them.

However, the general trend is rolling and no one can be immune to it. Everyone is swept up in it and cannot help themselves.

She was invited to participate in a one-way battle, and she felt helpless and unwilling, and ultimately ended up dying.

A tear rolled down her cheek from the corner of her eye.

"Pah", the tears condensed into beads and shattered into countless powder.

"From now on, I am Gu Yunzhu and I live for myself!"

The woman in the green skirt opened her mouth and swallowed the star sand mixed with the star-breaking stone. She looked up at the starry sky, stretched out her right hand and made a star gesture with two fingers, then pointed to the sky above the roof. Brilliant starlight from the void passed through the secret realm and fell into the attic.

The stars are vast and the miracles are invisible.

Liu Xianfeng, who was guarding the top of the mountain, suddenly felt a breeze rising from the treetops, and there was a moment of strangeness.

She took out the golden camphor wood and walked around the mountain to inspect it, feeling suspicious for a long time.

At dusk, Xu Shengtian walked out of the cave.

He had already refined the Divine Inlaid Pagoda and nurtured it in the acupoints on the palm of his left hand with his mysterious feeling. After an unknown amount of time, he realized that his cultivation level had reached a higher level and he had made a new breakthrough.

His whole body was filled with divine power, and his powerful strength gave him peace of mind.

"Aunt Liu, haven't you been in seclusion for the past few years?"

"Six years have passed. I don't need to go into seclusion for the time being. Your cultivation has improved greatly. It looks like you are at the middle stage of the third floor."

Liu Xianfeng looked at Xu Shengtian who was still unable to restrain the fluctuations of his breath. The little guy was cultivating his spirit in a confused manner and couldn't figure out his own level of cultivation.

"Really? Haha, I finally became a master."

Xu Shengtian raised his head and smiled triumphantly. He rolled over to avoid the branches coming from all directions, landed at the foot of the mountain, and then dodged to avoid the attacks and entanglements from the grass stems and branches in the sky and on the ground.

Liu Xianfeng's sneak attack was no longer effective against the little guy, so he laughed and scolded, "Next time you dare not be modest, I will hit you all over the head with my magic stick."

"I don't dare, I don't dare, Aunt Liu is so powerful, isn't my junior sister out of seclusion yet?"

Xu Shengtian was instinctively a little afraid of that inconspicuous, ugly black stick with a metallic luster.

"No, you're the first one."

"Then I'll go out of the mountain and try out my newfound skills."

Xu Shengtian called the ghost girl in the water to the shore, ordered to set up a training ground, and arranged a third-level ghost beast for him to practice. At the beginning, his uncle spent a huge price to rent the mountain for training, which included the terms of use of the three ghost beasts, and he could kill them back and forth twenty times.

He lacks practical experience, and the remaining four years are just the right time to make up for his shortcomings.

Toss the three-headed ghost beast in turn several times.

"Be careful. Bailu, get him a ghost relocation talisman as a backup, just in case. The fee will be settled later."

On the top of the mountain, Liu Xianfeng gave worried instructions.

I watched the little guy raising his hand jump over the mountain stream and disappear into the fog on the opposite side.

Liu Xianfeng put away the golden camphor wood and muttered, "He is such a troublesome person. He didn't even stay to talk with me. What's the fun of being alone? I wonder when the young master will come out of seclusion?"

Xu Yuanchang is faced with the trouble of confusing reality with his mind. A group of scoundrels who died in his hands, including Zhuang Liang, Zhuang Yu, Shi Hu, Kong Cai, Jiang Weiyan, Jin Shichang and Mai Guangwei, often appear at critical moments, making him fall into a state where he can hardly distinguish between reality and illusion.

The endless and repeated fighting made him exhausted.

Especially the gods or their residual souls who were destroyed by him, such as the mountain god Wei Yu and the forest god Chang Shou.

The entanglement is endless, the ghosts will not go away, the scenes and battles are real, and each time you have to fight with wits and courage for a long time before you can struggle out.

He tried countless methods, but none of them could get rid of the mental calamity.

He couldn't rely on the power of the Magic Fairy Ring, nor could he call upon the incarnations of his left and right arms. He could only rely on his own strength to struggle and grope forward bit by bit.

"Climbing up a building is easy, but breaking through a door is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

He himself didn't know when he was awake and when he was in a daze.

I felt like I had come out of seclusion. I talked, played chess and drank tea with Liu Xianfeng, then turned around and sat still in the dark and quiet room.

It’s too difficult, he can’t tell the difference.

Xu Yuanchang had turned defeat into victory and killed Wei Yu for who knows how many hundredth time. His body was covered with scars. He stood on the top of Xianqiao Mountain with his hands on his knees. The rocks around him had collapsed and countless trees were broken. He felt the gentle breeze and the silent desolation.

Xu Yuanchang, who was panting, was suddenly stunned and suddenly understood.

The darkness that obscured my eyes dissipated, and the light sprinkled down like nectar.

"The spirit returns to the body, both illusory and awake."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hilltops and the dilapidated scenery twisted as if blown away by the wind.

Xu Yuanchang opened his eyes, and there was no trace of blood on his body. He sat cross-legged in the quiet room without moving. He could feel everything inside the Fantasy Fairy Ring. He moved his fingers slightly, and golden divine light swept across the whole room.

"That's what happened. I finally made it through the Hundred Illusions Realm."

A smile appeared on Xu Yuan's lips.

He broke through from the illusory state of mind of "seeing illusions and seeing reality" to the illusory state of mind of "seemingly illusion and seemingly reality".

The many illusory tribulations that one experiences are all mental tribulations caused by the soul leaving the body.

If he fails to figure it out, the profound meaning contained in the Thousand Soul Pearl will be wasted over time, and the mental tribulation will become a huge obstacle preventing him from breaking through. It will be extremely difficult for him to advance and break through next time.

Wanting to understand the truth, Xu Yuanchang did not stand up. Instead, he swallowed a realm-breaking elixir and made hand gestures.

Soon he fell into a deep state of meditation. He wanted to achieve the golden elixir in one go and advance to the fourth level.

First, establish your state of mind, and everything else will come naturally.

He is not like Yu Fengwu who pursues ultimate purity and has to retain his cultivation to return to the human world for a breakthrough. He practices the way of illusion and pursues a comprehensive and complicated experience. The secret realm of the ghost world has different benefits for "illusion", which makes it easier for the ghost world to complete the last step.

The whole Weitengyuan suddenly became turbulent, and rich spiritual energy rushed to the courtyard on the east slope. Liu Xianfeng showed a happy expression on his face, and said to Bian Qiuyan, who had come out of retreat a few days ago: "Look at this situation, Brother Xu is going to break through the retreat... Didn't they say that the ghost world is not suitable for human cultivators to advance their cultivation?"

He seemed a little worried when he spoke about the latter part.

Bian Qiuyan exudes a different aura.

She had accumulated a lot of experience over the years, and with the help of a quiet environment and the cold soul-inhabiting liquid that could cleanse her body, she finally broke through the bottleneck after going through many hardships and her state of mind reached a new level.

However, she chose to make the final breakthrough after returning and not to rush.

"My junior uncle is not an ordinary cultivator. Since he made this choice, he must have his reasons. Sister Xianfeng, please be patient. The result will be clear in a few days."

Bian Qiuyan had full confidence in his junior uncle and said soothingly.

Liu Xianfeng was still a little anxious, and kept muttering while walking back and forth. Suddenly, he looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "Sister Yunzhu has come out of retreat... Hey, why does she look the same as before? Could she have been woken up by the noise made by the young master?"

Bian Qiuyan stepped half a foot into the threshold of the fourth floor, and his eyes were different. He looked at the woman in green skirt who came down the mountain easily, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Yun Zhuzi, your cultivation has made great progress and you have returned to your original nature!"

Gu Yunzhu smiled and said, "It's not as good as you said. I have only made a small progress in my cultivation. Sister Qiuyan, congratulations. After many years of cultivation and seeking the Tao, you will eventually achieve the Golden Elixir."

"Stop congratulating me, you two. It's giving me goosebumps."

Liu Xianfeng pulled Gu Yunzhu and looked her up and down: "You have become different from before, but I can't tell why."

"Where else can I go? I have only comprehended a magical power."

Gu Yunzhu smiled and changed the subject. She was almost able to recover to the fourth level of spiritual cultivation, so she chose to return to the human world for a breakthrough. Although the secret realm of the ghost world was good, it was still far from the sky, and the star power it attracted could not meet her needs.

Living her life over again, she still has some earthly scenes to experience.

Otherwise, once you miss it, you won’t be able to experience it again.

Looking down from above, she had a clear view of the road ahead. She had to take each step carefully and steadily.

The only thing that bothers her is the upcoming opening of the dark world gate. She doesn't want to experience a bloody war and hates killing. However, Daoist Brother Yanshan saved her life. He had hidden clues for a long time and it must be for this moment. How can she not contribute?

The three of them were laughing and chatting happily.

Xu Shengtian jumped over the stream from the fog outside the mountain with a dusty face, and shouted in surprise: "When did Junior Sister come out of retreat? Hey... spiritual energy is surging and flowing to the courtyard on the east hillside. Uncle San is about to break through."

He took one step forward and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already stepped onto the brick wall of the house and was looking towards the quiet room.

"Why don't you come down quickly and don't disturb your uncle."

Liu Xianfeng shouted, and shook her fingers twice, and the shadows of the trees inside the courtyard wall moved forward, driving Xu Shengtian down from the top of the wall.

Five days later, the wind died down and the spiritual energy on the mountain returned to normal.

Xu Yuanchang opened the courtyard door and walked out leisurely, greeted the people waiting for him, and asked: "Xianfeng, how much time is left in the ten-year period?"

Inside the ring space, a three-foot-sized crystal rabbit nest emits colorful light that expands and contracts rhythmically.

Like the beating of a heart, the rabbit did not respond to his call at all.

The black rabbit transformed by the female ghost was sleeping outside, its black fur dyed in various colors.

He guessed that Brother Li might be in seclusion until a critical moment.

Liu Xianfeng floated forward, circled around, and said, "There are only one year and two months left, young master, you can't wait to break through in the secret realm of the ghost world, is there anything wrong with that?"

Xu Yuanchang felt the green golden elixir suspended in the Qi Palace. It was clean and transparent without any impurities. The summoning altar in his sea of ​​consciousness had already solidified to four layers. He did not expand the space of the Fantasy Fairy Ring and upgrade the Creation Altar for the time being, as he did not want to disturb Rabbit.

"No, I am not affected by the ghost world. I will just let nature take its course and break through the realm and advance."

He stretched out his finger to push away the forehead of the little tree spirit that was approaching, and his eyes stayed on Bian Qiuyan.

"Congratulations to Qiu Yan for fulfilling his wish and achieving the Golden Elixir Path."

"Congratulations to Junior Master."

Bian Qiuyan couldn't help but be happy. This trip to the ghost market brought her huge gains. It changed her future destiny. She had finally made it. She was full of emotion and was lucky to have met her junior master uncle.

Then chat with my nephew and Gu Yunzhu to learn about their practice.

He did not stay outside for long. He returned to the yard and walked into the quiet room to continue meditating to consolidate his cultivation.

Xu Shengtian enthusiastically invited his junior sister to go with him to the training ground outside the mountain to practice by killing third-level ghost beasts.

In the ghost world, ghost beasts are almost impossible to kill.

Of course, every killing will eventually consume the ghost power and make the ghost beast weak. After three times, a new ghost beast needs to be replaced.

In the past few years, Xu Shengtian has gone from dealing with one ghost beast to being able to kill three ghost beasts without getting hurt himself. His experience and strength have improved rapidly, and his ability to escape has become even more perfect.

He didn't have a suitable Shinto magic weapon, so he used his mountain-holding supernatural power and the newly-comprehended mountain prison, combined with his elusive body movements.

The tactics and strategies fully demonstrate the Xu family's sinister and cunning style.

He also specially reserved the number of times that his junior sister could use the ghost beast, so that the benefits could not be monopolized by one person.

Gu Yunzhu declined her senior brother's kindness on the grounds that she had just come out of seclusion and needed to stabilize herself. She did not need to kill ghost beasts to gain experience, so she went back to the mountain to continue her cultivation.

She practices Jixing Shinto and hates killing and bloodshed.

She has thought it through and decided that in the future she would repay Daoist Brother Yanshan's life-saving favor in the lower world in her own way. One thing is one thing, and she cannot just run away when a war breaks out.

Just think of it as experiencing the complexity of a spiritual life.

Xu Shengtian scratched his hair and muttered, "Junior sister seems to have changed."

He couldn't tell what had changed.

Liu Xianfeng and Bian Qiuyan looked at each other. As bystanders, they felt sympathetic and could not bear to wake up Xu Shengtian who was immersed in it.

Falling flowers may have feelings, but flowing water is heartless; the most hurtful thing in the world is love.

Those who practice spiritual cultivation are no exception.

Time flies, and the ten-year period is about to expire.

Xu Yuanchang walked out of the quiet room where he had been in seclusion. He was already familiar with the new power and had mastered the use of wood and fire spells and the Hundred Illusions State of Mind. Instead, the flying knife technique had become useless as its power could no longer keep up with his level of cultivation, unless he could make a new breakthrough.

The mastery of the fourth-level talisman requires a lot of drawing practice, but he doesn't have the time at the moment, so it will have to be postponed.

Refine the four incarnations again, imprint them with spiritual consciousness and nurture them.

He wanted to go back and try to use the method of refining materials to infuse the incarnation with essence.

If a fourth-level incarnation could be created, wouldn’t that be a huge profit?

"Let's go back to the ghost market."

Xu Yuanchang greeted with a smile and walked down the mountain first.

After swallowing a golden elixir, I realized that my fate was not determined by fate.

He has already felt the difference in the way the fourth level realm communicates with heaven and earth, which is changing with each passing day and gaining new insights every time.
