The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 247 Breakthrough to the Yang God! Land God! (asking for monthly votes)

"Uncle Master?"

Zhongli Quan called out.

Lu Chen looked at Zhongli Quan with his eyes absentmindedly. After a few breaths, he began to focus. When he came back to his senses, he smiled and nodded: "Thank you Zhengyang for protecting me. I'm fine. Your injuries haven't recovered yet. Go and have a rest."

Zhongli Quan was obviously protecting him in case of any emergency.

Zhongli Quan bowed his head: "Okay, then Master Donghua, you should have a good rest."

After Zhongli Quan left, Lu Chen opened his palm.

"Puff", a white flame rose up in his hand.

"Yangming Fire."

Lu Chen looked at the flame in his hand with a slightly complicated mood.

This ball of flame is the fire of supernatural power formed by the combination of his pure Yang Qi and Shao Yang Principle. A golden mark even appeared on the pure Yang Pill in his body, which represented that the supernatural power had been achieved.

Yangming fire can also be called the most yang fire.

It can burn evil things.

"It's just too weak now."

Lu Chen shook his head and retracted the flame.

Different from the transformation of One Qi into Three Pure Ones, the imprint of the magical power of Yangming Fire in his body is still very dim, representing the initial stage.

To him, it didn't make much difference.

"However, the 'Eternal Life Shaoyang Pill Secret' is indeed helpful to me. My cultivation has become a system. In this case..."

An idea was stirring in Lu Chen's mind. On a whim, Lu Chen made up his mind: "With my own Three-Five System, the complete veins of the "Eternal Life Shaoyang Pill Art", and the Yangming Fire, if I want, this inner pill third disaster, the Bifeng disaster, should be able to pass."

Lu Chen closed his eyes, and his soul trembled in his purple palace. Then he jumped up and separated from his body.

Lu Chen looked at the body in front of him with some curiosity.

It is embarrassing to say that when other people’s souls were in the form of Yin Spirits, they would let the Yin Spirits leave their bodies. For example, Brother Guangyuan, when his soul was still the Yin Spirit, he dared to hide in a dark corner in broad daylight to travel.

Not to mention in this world, many real souls like to let their Yin spirits leave their bodies.

Because the speed of the Yin Spirit is much faster than the physical body, today in Luoyang, I wanted to watch the fireworks display in Jiankang, so I just used my Yin Spirit to leave my body and go over to take a look.

However, Lu Chen was very cautious. Since the birth of the Yin Spirit, he had not used the power of leaving the body even once. He always used his divine sense to investigate and would never put the Yin Spirit and the physical body in danger.

"After achieving Yang Shen, you won't have to be afraid anymore."

The Yang God is different from the Yin God. When the Yuan Shen becomes pure Yang, it is the same as a real person even if it is placed under the sun.

Moreover, it is extremely convenient to take over another's body, especially in this world, where the soul is the main thing and the physical body is just a discarded bag of skin.

After the birth of the Yang Shen, it is equivalent to having a lifespan of thousands of years and you don’t have to worry about the physical body at all.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking, a gust of wind suddenly blew. This wind was not a natural wind, and no one knew where it came from.

Lu Chen only felt that his soul felt cold and numb wherever the wind blew.

"The typhoon is coming!"

Looking at the physical body, as expected, there was also wind disaster entering the body.

It blows into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices. If it cannot pass through, the bones and flesh will be wasted away, and the body will disintegrate.

But Lu Chen naturally did not have no arrangements at all.

A white tiger in the wind suddenly appeared inside Lu Chen's body, guided the Bifeng to circulate in his body, and then expelled it from his body.

Not only did it not harm Lu Chen's body, it even helped cleanse the impurities in his body, allowing Lu Chen's body to take another big step towards becoming a pure yang body!

This is the method of avoiding disasters with the physical body, just like Monkey King learning the seventy-two transformations, which are the methods of avoiding disasters. The methods of avoiding water and fire and so on are all extended from the seventy-two transformations.

It is to avoid disaster and robbery.

However, it is easy to avoid the calamity of the physical body, but it is difficult to avoid the calamity of the soul.

Lu Chen's heart moved, and the Yangming fire remained from under his soul's feet, transforming into a ninth-grade lotus that protected him. The feeling of coldness and numbness suddenly disappeared, leaving only warmth as if shining under the sun.

The wind blew again, which fanned the fire, making the Yangming Fire in Lu Chen's body even more vigorous.

The last bit of Yin impurities contained in the primordial spirit were completely transformed into Yang under the increasingly vigorous Yangming fire.

In just a moment, Lu Chen felt a throbbing sensation in his heart.

It seems like some great disaster is about to happen.

Lu Chen looked up suddenly, and on the Guizang compass, the Heluo technique suddenly started to spin rapidly.

A big word "Ji" appeared in front of Lu Chen.

There is no other word, only Ji.

"Boom!"

It seemed as if a black lightning struck down in front of Lu Chen's eyes, and the word "ji" shone brightly!
In an instant, the word "ji" disappeared and the thunder ceased.

The sense of crisis in Lu Chen's heart suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened!
"What just happened is that the 'rules' prevented me from advancing to the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

A sense of enlightenment rose in Lu Chen's heart: "Now, I have become an earthly immortal!"

He sensed that his own spirit was clear and transparent, without any impurities of evil.

That’s right, he really did become an earthly immortal!
Moreover, he became an earthly immortal by following his own path, without any rules being followed.

"No, it's not that there are no rules, but I am the descendant of Yizhu. Yi means change. I couldn't break through originally. For others, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through the restrictions. But with the changes of Heluo's technique, I broke through it."

A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face.

Earthly immortals are also called land immortals in the world of Journey to the West.

Although it sounds like he is not as powerful as those True Lords or Great Emperors, and seems like he is just a second-rate character, in fact, overall... well, okay, just a second-rate one.

However, this is only a tiny fraction compared to those at the top of the food chain, among the billions of creatures in the entire Journey to the West world.

In fact, if the bonus of Tao Fruit is not counted, the immortals on land can also become immortal officials in heaven.

Moreover, it is not an official position like Bimawen, but at least it should be of some rank.

The immortals on land are also immortals!
Don’t think that land immortals are worthless just because they are simply called earth immortals.

The ordinary heavenly soldiers in the world of Journey to the West are those in the Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger Realm, because only those in the Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger Realm have the spirit and soul to fly in the sky and hide in the ground, and are qualified to be canonized.

The slightly stronger celestial generals who led the troops were only at the level of inner elixir immortals, while Lu Chen's level of land immortal was really not low.

If the immortals on land have some backing and are given a high-ranking but leisurely position, such as a star official, it is possible for them to take it down.

If one can condense the three flowers and become a true immortal, then he can be included in the immortal class. Ordinary star gods are at this level. If one can achieve perfect three flowers and have some powerful spiritual treasures in hand, then it will be easy to get the title of heavenly king.

Of course, that was in the Journey to the West world.

In the Calabash Brothers world, a cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm is qualified to be among the 'Top Ten Masters in the World'.

"It's just that this breakthrough is a little too low-key."

Because everyone here has innate inspiration, this breakthrough did not cause too much impact.

Lu Chen didn't even have the chance to say "Today I know who I am".

There was no way. The innate inspiration was very powerful and did not cause any widespread strange phenomena.

However, the people outside the courtyard also felt something unusual.

"Is this...Master-Uncle has made a breakthrough?"

Zhongli Quan looked at the houses in the courtyard in surprise.

Mr. Bai smiled and stroked his beard: "Haha, it seems that he swallowed the gourd seed."

The little butterfly's eyes flickered. Where will Dong Wanggong build the cave in the future?
"Haha, the breath didn't continue. It should be taking a gradual approach." Mr. Bai said with a smile again.

Zhongli Quan nodded: "This is the right way. If you insist on refining the Seven Heart Pill and exhausting your potential to pursue the path of the Heavenly Immortal, you have gone astray."

For practitioners with aspirations, the immortals can only see the end.

But it is not worth exhausting your potential just for a visible realm.

When Mr. Bai said this, he couldn't help but look at him with a bit of resentment.

……

On the other side, Lu Chen's soul returned to the Purple Palace.

"This typhoon disaster isn't that bad."

Lu Chen didn't feel any danger at all.

Feeling the powerful feeling after the breakthrough of his physical body and soul, Lu Chen is now more and more certain that he can complete the task.

Just one thing...

"A baby was conceived in Hulu Mountain, and I killed demons and devoured the Seven Heart Pills... I killed the demons, but I still need to kill the demons and devour the Seven Heart Pills to truly complete the mission?"

The three ancient monsters, the golden snake, the green snake and the scorpion, have all been killed, but the prompt for completing the task in the copy of the heavens has not yet appeared.

This means that Lu Chen still has something unfinished.

If you just look at the name of the task, it requires slaying demons, eliminating monsters, and devouring the heart of Dan.

"It doesn't matter if I swallow the Danxin. At most I can swallow the gourd seed and refine it slowly without wasting my potential."

"But as for exorcism... who is the demon? Zhang Ling? Cheng Gongxing? Or the Bull Demon King?"

Lu Chen was a little unsure.

These three choices are more difficult than each other.

It was almost an exponential improvement. The weakest monster, Zhang Ling, had the cultivation of the peak of the Immortal Dao Lord, and also had the ability to open the Nine Netherworld Gate and communicate with the ghosts and gods of the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm.

The last time the Nine Nether Gate appeared was because there was a time barrier in Hulu Mountain, and the ghosts that came out of the Nine Nether Gate were unable to go out to devour living beings.

What would it look like if the Gate of Nine Netherworlds was opened in a normal town?
That would be like a natural disaster!
Lu Chen didn't even dare to guarantee whether he could handle that kind of problem now.

As for Cheng Gongxing and Bull Demon King, there is no need to say more.

One is in the realm of gods, proficient in the "Nine Chapters of Divination", and can almost deduce the line of fate. The other is a peerless evil demon who was suppressed by Laojun himself in a world.

Lu Chen was not sure he could eliminate these two people. Well, if the mission was really these two, then Lu Chen could just forget about it.

"Actually, these are still good. It would be really fun if I could become Manjusri Bodhisattva who got rid of the evil path and fell into Taoism."

Lu Chen shook his head, thinking that this possibility was very small.

In fact, even if the Zhutian copy allowed him to eliminate the Bull Demon King, the possibility of Cheng Gongxing being like this was very small.

When he entered this world, he was only a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, and the mission he was given was to eliminate the demons in the Divine Immortal Realm, or even the Celestial Immortal Realm. How could this be possible...

"Can't set up a BUFF!"

Lu Chen immediately cut off this dangerous thought.

His first dungeon mission is to cause havoc in Heaven. Isn't that more ridiculous than killing the Bull Demon King?

"But maybe it's not to exorcise the demon, but just to let me swallow the gourd seeds?"

Lu Chen only broke down the task names. As for whether there is an item called demon-slaying, it is actually still a matter of debate.

Lu Chen originally tended to think no - this was a beautiful wish.

"The baby in the Calabash Mountain represents the position and the protagonist. Now that the Calabash Brothers are gone, I am the protagonist. What happens next depends on the three words 'Eating the Red Heart'."

Lu Chen looked at the gourd seed in his hand that looked like a pill.

"The Art of Heluo!"

Let’s try the Heluo technique first to see whether it is more beneficial to swallow it or not.

[Daguo: The pillars are crooked, it is beneficial to go somewhere, prosperous. ]

[Nine Three: The building is crooked, ominous! ]

"It's another Daguo hexagram!"

The moment the Daguo hexagram appeared, Lu Chen felt somewhat happy. The last time the Daguo hexagram appeared was when he entered the Xinglin Cave Heaven and rescued Zhongli Quan.

And this time it was still a big mistake, Lu Chen thought to himself, "It's stable."

But when the following line 93 came out, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, instantly chilling him to the core!
"After swallowing the gourd seed, I will be in danger?! Daguo Jiusan... means that getting the gourd seed is a good thing with more benefits than disadvantages, but after swallowing it, it becomes a bad thing with more disadvantages than benefits?"

Lu Chen looked at the gourd seed in his hand and his brows slowly frowned.

The suggestion to swallow the gourd seeds was given to him by his senior brother Shaoyang Zhenjun, who also told him that the benefits could be maximized by taking the gourd seeds, the seven-color lotus platform and the seven-color lotus seeds separately.

But why does a Daguo Jiusan Yao appear now?

"Is there something wrong with Senior Brother Shaoyang..."

After Lu Chen thought about it, he felt that he couldn't be so absolute.

"Daguo Jiusan, willing means that I have done things too much. This excessiveness may be because after I swallowed the gourd seeds, there will be subsequent things that should be remedied by the gourd seeds, but in the end there are no gourd seeds to remedy the situation..."

Lu Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
What are the remedial measures needed to be taken?
Isn't it to suppress the 'Gate of Nine Netherworlds' and the backlash of demonic energy that will appear after Hulu Mountain disappears?
"Senior Brother Shaoyang said that if I swallowed the gourd seed, I could easily suppress these two problems, but now it seems..."

Lu Chen couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up and left the yard, without saying hello to anyone else, and flew directly towards the direction of the mountain god statue.

When a few people saw Lu Chen coming out, they were about to congratulate him on his progress in practice, but they saw Lu Chen leave in a hurry. After looking at each other, they hurriedly chased after him.

Lu Chen stopped the cloud and said to the others, "Zhengyang, I'm going to ask your master about something. You can take Senior Bai and Little Butterfly to rest first."

This matter is a bit serious, and Lu Chen does not plan to let them follow, so as not to affect them and cause panic.

Zhongli Quan stopped immediately and bowed, "Yes, Uncle Master."

He then stopped Bai Weng and Little Butterfly.

Zhongli Quan could tell from Lu Chen's expression that he must have something important to tell his master, and this matter could not be made public.

Although Mr. Bai and Little Butterfly are both family members, we should be prepared for the worst!
……

Lu Chen soon arrived in front of the statue of the mountain god.

"Senior Brother! Please show yourself!" Lu Chen called out.

The consciousness of Shaoyang Zhenjun that was left in Gourd Mountain was awakened: "Hey? Junior Brother, you are here again... No, Junior Brother, have you made a breakthrough? Did you swallow the gourd seed?"

Shaoyang Zhenjun was surprised and calculated the time.

Only one year has passed in Shaoyang Cave Heaven, which means that only one day has passed in Hulu Mountain now.

In such a short time, Lu Chen completed the breakthrough?
"Thanks to my senior brother, it was just luck."

Lu Chen didn't say too much about his breakthrough, and asked directly: "Brother, does the Bull Demon King still have a chance to escape from the suppression?"

"How is that possible! This is the teacher's suppression!"

Shao Yang Zhen Jun didn't even think about it, and directly said: "Junior brother, why are you thinking about these impossible things?"

Lu Chen said seriously, "Then why did the Yin-Yang Realm fall?"

"It was an accident. I don't know the details, but according to the records in ancient books, someone must have spied on the strength of the Bull Demon King, or was seduced by the demonic energy of the Bull Demon King, and took the initiative to open a crack in the seal, which led to the fall of the Yin-Yang Realm."

Shao Yang Zhenjun said: "Of course, this is not important. In fact, each of the twelve ancient gods has the ability to seal this matter. According to legend, when the twelve ancient gods were still there, the ghosts were not excessive and were even very well behaved."

"However, the perfection of the world requires the opposition of yin and yang, and the two poles must complement and restrain each other. That is why the gods allowed the Yin ghosts to invade and form the current Yin and Yang Dharma Realm. Therefore, it is inevitable that the Yin and Yang Dharma Realm will become what it is now."

Lu Chen said in a deep voice: "But now that the twelve gods have left, who can still suppress those ghosts?"

"Isn't there still Zhisui?"

Shaoyang Zhenjun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, why think about these things?"

Lu Chen sighed and said, "But brother, Manjusri Bodhisattva has also fallen into Taoism confusion."

Shao Yang Zhen Jun didn't care and said: "That kind of existence, even if it is a Dao fan, will not make a big mistake. Dao fans are just Dao fans, not Dao exterminators."

Seeing that his explanation was not working, Lu Chen asked, "Brother, what do you think of the old cow in the north?"

Shao Yang Zhen Jun thought for a moment before saying, "I have only met that old cow brother once. He looked very obedient. He was the first one among the many great monsters to be suppressed. Legend has it that it was because of his strength that he was so powerful that he was invincible among all the monsters, which caused Shen Bao Jun to suppress him. He must have the strength."

"What if he rushes into the Central Plains? Attack us from both inside and outside?" Lu Chen said.

"Haha, Cheng Gongxing is not a vegetarian." Shaoyang Zhenjun said with a smile.

Lu Chen immediately pointed out the loophole: "But... Cheng Gongxing is now arranging the ascension formation!"

Master Shaoyang stopped talking for a moment.

After a few breaths, Shao Yang Zhen Jun said uncertainly: "Cheng Gong Xing should have a backup plan... right?"

Lu Chen sighed: "Brother, should we place our hopes on others?"

"This……"

Shaoyang Zhenjun's tone also became hesitant. Thinking about it carefully, Lu Chen's worries were actually not unreasonable.

Perhaps Bull Demon King Luo cannot break the seal, but if Cheng Gongxing encounters a problem, then if the bull demon in the north takes the opportunity to move south, it is not impossible for him to achieve his goal!

Moreover, he thought of Zhisui as being a little too perfect.

"Junior brother, what are you going to do?" Shaoyang Zhenjun's tone also became serious.

Although the hypothesis proposed by Lu Chen is just a hypothesis, it is extremely easy to become a reality!
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Brother, I don't have a good solution now. But if the Bull Demon King really appears, can the gourd seed suppress him?"

"What are you thinking? This is definitely impossible!"

Shao Yang Zhen Jun said directly: "Gourd seeds are gourd seeds. If the Bull Demon King really escapes, it means that this world cannot contain him. How can a mere gourd seed suppress him?"

"The gourd seed is only effective in suppressing loopholes. It is impossible to suppress a peerless demon!"

"Is that so?"

Lu Chen was silent.

If the gourd seeds are useless, it means that if the Bull Demon King can really escape, it doesn't matter whether there are gourd seeds or not, and it will not affect the overall situation.

But if that's the case...what does the 'bad luck' shown in the hexagram mean?
Is there any danger that I am not aware of?

Lu Chen was puzzled.

"Junior Brother Donghua."

Shaoyang Zhenjun said: "What you said was an oversight of mine. I will find a way to confirm whether Cheng Gongxing really wants to complete the Ascension Formation. There are still five days left for the Gourd Mountain to disappear. During these five days, you should try your best to refine the Gourd Seed and become an immortal as soon as possible. As long as you become an immortal, even if you don't have Cheng Gongxing, the two of us brothers can suppress that old bull together."

Lu Chen felt helpless.

Refining gourd seeds?
He didn't refine it at all!
However, at this moment, he was not sure whether he could trust Master Shaoyang.

After all, there are still some questions about the gourd that have not been answered, and Shaoyang Zhenjun still has some suspicions.

In order to prevent any misunderstanding, Lu Chen asked, "Brother, who told you that swallowing the gourd seeds and combining them with the seven-colored lotus platform and seven-colored lotus seeds can make you a celestial being?"

Shao Yang Zhen Jun said without thinking: "This is the strange phenomenon that appeared when the teacher bestowed the gourd seeds. At that time, the seven-colored lotus platform and seven-colored lotus seeds appeared along with the strange phenomenon. The teacher did not refute anything at that time, which is equivalent to tacit consent."

Lu Chen frowned. Is this matter also related to Laojun?

Then why does the Heluo technique appear different?
"Junior brother, although this is where my real body is, my soul is in Shaoyang Cave Heaven after all. I still have to explore the secrets of the Ascension Array, so I won't tell you more."

Zhenjun Shaoyang was anxious to confirm what Lu Chen said.
