"What! Isn't this a test for cultivating immortality?" Dong Yan was stunned. He thought it was related to cultivation, so he tried hard to copy it!

After Dong Yan was tortured by Yao and Li for a month, he followed them to the royal city to reunite the two elders with the Jiang family's grandchildren and enjoy the last family happiness.

The Jiang Family in Wangcheng is the residence of Jiang Yuanchen and his younger brother. He took Yao Li to talk to Dong Yan in a small courtyard at the back.

"It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it." Next to Jiang Yuanchen was the scriptures copied by Dong Yan in the past month: "At least it can reduce your anger, right? The depression and sullenness in your heart have been relieved now?"

"..."

"Besides, these classics are indeed the supreme Taoist treasures. They contain the understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth by many predecessors. If you have thoroughly understood a classic, not to mention that we teach you the skills, you can achieve immortality by understanding a method by yourself. No problem." Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "But looking at your situation now, you haven't really understood it, right? But you have recovered from your injuries and can discuss your future path. I can't teach you such a high level of immortality. I give it to you, but I can show you a way." Jiang Yuanchen took out an extra Barbarian Chess Beast card in his hand: "Come on, play cards with me."

What is this! Dong Yan frowned, but still sat opposite Jiang Yuanchen and played cards with him.

Barbarian Chess Beast Card, this game was also spread in the outer sect because of the preference of the senior at Jinquan Peak. This is a game for enlightenment and identification of spiritual beasts, which can let them know the living customs of various spiritual beasts.

It is still the simplest "evolution method". Each person selects a beast card, and then draws cards to complete the evolution of this beast card. Whoever evolves into the top mythical beast first will win.

Jiang Yuanchen chose herring, a kind of aquatic fish that can be seen everywhere. Yao Li is a spider, a genus of insects. And Dong Yan drew the snake at the beginning.

"Sure enough, it's due to fate." Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "Didn't the blood in your body also come from the snake demon?"

"..." Dong Yan did not refute. Now he is gradually accepting his new identity: "Two seniors, let me do it first." As he said that, he was the first to summon the little snake from the chessboard, and collected it from the special card deck on the side. Three cards.

In this evolutionary duel, three people share a deck, which is full of special types of cards. For example, phoenix blood and dragon scales are media that can catalyze the transformation into dragons and phoenixes, or vitality cards such as the essence of the five elements.

"Then let me choose the venue." Yao Li then chose the venue that suits him best. A dense forest. Spiders, snakes, and even Jiang Yuanchen's herring are here. However, the herring stayed in the pond at the beginning, away from the spiders and snakes in the trees.

This chessboard is a special illusion board made by Jiang Yuanchen, specially developed for the evolution of this spiritual beast. Therefore, the scenes of mountains and rivers evolving in the illusion disk are also lifelike, with herrings sucking water from the pools, demon snakes crawling on the trees, and spiders spinning their own webs. The difference in terrain is also related to the combat power of the monsters.

Jiang Yuanchen shrugged: "Then let you come first."

After each person drew three special cards, Dong Yan was the first to take action.

The seven-foot-long purple snake revealed the snake letter and coiled it into a circle. Dong Yan then covered it with the special card he had drawn.

"Use "Blue Dragon's Blood" to transform the demonic snake into a dragon!" A drop of blood-colored blood appeared on the top of the demonic snake's head. Then the scales slowly became thicker, and dragon whiskers and horns gradually stretched out. "End of round!" You cannot attack in the first round.

"I'll be next!" Yao Li grabbed the second place without waiting for Jiang Yuanchen to speak.

"Wood makes fire. Combine the fire essence and wood essence in the Five Elements card to evolve the demon spider into an earth fire spider." First, a green tree tree appeared, then a ball of fire ignited the branches, and finally the fireball was thrown into the spider to transform it. Make a big red fire spider.

"Earth Fire Spider, I don't remember that there are spiders and other mythical beasts in the mythical beast catalog?" Dong Yan was a little confused. Even if he is at the outer door. I have also been exposed to some explanations of Jiuzhou spiritual beasts and strange beasts. Spiders are not such a powerful race, are they?

"The three most basic evolutionary directions of spiders are the five-element spider, the ghost-faced spider and the dragon spider." Yao Li explained. While urging his own demon spider to attack the demon snake.

"Be it spiders, centipedes, or the long snake that is closest to a real dragon, they are all existences that can transform into dragon form. Kill your demon snake and complete the fire spider's dragon transformation."

The fire spider and the demon snake were fighting together, and now the difference between the two was obvious. Why did Yao Li deliberately put two vitality cards into the body of the demon spider and transform it into a fire attribute? It was because he wanted to defeat the demonic snake that transformed into a dragon.

"Because of this, the attack power of the demon spider is one level higher than that of the demon snake!" Dong Yan smiled bitterly, and could only sit back and watch his demon snake being bitten to death, and finally being tied up in a spider web and slowly being swallowed by the spider's dragon blood. .

A perfect simulation, this is Jiang Yuanchen's illusion disk, which completes the comparison of the combat power of the two monsters based on their base numbers. Even the geographical advantages of the surrounding environment are taken into account.

In the end, the demon snake died, and the demon spider evolved further, with multiple dragon patterns on its body.

"It's my turn!" Jiang Yuanchen saw Dong Yan choose a snake card from the spirit beast cards on the side, and smiled: "Then I will follow you and transform into a dragon."

"Transform into a dragon? You don't want to follow Kunpeng's path?" Yao Li frowned. Kunpeng and Jiufeng are Jiang Yuanchen's most commonly used evolution modes for mythical beasts. Now you actually choose to transform into a dragon?

"Use "Blue Dragon Scale" to transform into a dragon!" Jiang Yuanchen threw a special card, and a piece of golden dragon scale fell on the forehead of the herring. Gradually, the fish scale transformed into dragon scale, and an arowana blew bubbles in the water.

"The round is over, it's your turn again." Jiang Yuanchen said to Dong Yan. Because the monsters in the water would be weakened when they came ashore, he did not attack at all.

Dong Yan hesitated and drew another card: "Sun Jing and Yue Hua, use these two cards to give the demon snake five hundred years of Taoism." After the demon snake received five hundred years of Taoism, it grew dragon horns again, and Slowly bulging up the four bags began the stage of turning into a dragon.

"Make the tide!" After Dong Yan used the last card in his hand, water vapor appeared around the demon snake, and then turned into a black water dragon and fell into the pool.

"Attack the dragon fish and seize the dragon energy from him!" Dong Yan killed Jiang Yuanchen's dragon fish in one breath and occupied the water pool so that the dragon could get more dragon energy.

Jiang Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and remained silent. Silently took out another card from the side. But this time he didn't put it in the pool, but in the dense forest.

Then, Yao Li ignored the snake demon in the pool and once again used a fire card to empower the dragon spider and attack the fox, killing it again without giving Jiang Yuanchen a chance to take action. Because he understands. In the fantasy world of the water pool, the fire spider will be restrained by the water dragon. This is the charm of this beast card. It completely simulates various law factors in reality, so it is sought after by monks and can enhance their targeting. The experience of monsters. During the battle between monsters and monsters, this kind of card will flourish to find the weaknesses of monsters.

Then, Jiang Yuanchen started his turn again, but after finally completing the new water turtle summoning, he was killed again by Dong Yan in the next turn.

"..." Jiang Yuanchen looked at the two of them with a faint smile: "You are determined not to let me take action!"

The two laughed heartily and maintained a tacit understanding not to give Jiang Yuanchen a chance to evolve his chosen monster in the next five rounds.

"It's done!" Dong Yan was overjoyed after drawing a new card. His dragon has now practiced Taoism for three thousand years, and perhaps it should be more appropriately called Yinglong.

"It takes five hundred years for a snake to turn into a dragon, a thousand years for a dragon to turn into a dragon, and another fifteen hundred years to turn into a dragon." This is a saying in the spiritual world, and it also applies to the chessboard. Yinglong does not refer to a dragon with a lifespan of 1,500 years, but 3,000 years!

But Yinglong is not the highest level divine beast, because he has not experienced the heavenly tribulation and is not considered a heavenly dragon. But what Dong Yan just drew was the Heavenly Thunder Card, a divine card used to temper demon spirits for the final step of evolution.

A thundercloud appeared on the chessboard. A divine dragon with wings pounced on Thunder Cloud to complete its evolution.

"Sneak attack!" Yao Li looked serious and used the fire spider to carry out a sneak attack.

"According to habit, you must be careful of other people's attacks when you are going through the heavenly tribulation!" Although Yao Li's fire spider was killed by the thunder, it was finally the last step to stop Yinglong.

"End of round!" Dong Yan ended his round, "But, senior, the explanation given by Manqi now is that Tianlong is an incomplete body, and I only need to recover from my injuries. By the time I get to my next round, even if I win ”

"Don't rush, don't rush, maybe I can make a comeback!" Yao Li chose another demon horse. Start your own evolutionary evolution.

"Give five hundred years of spiritual power with water essence, and use the river map to turn it into a dragon and horse!" Yao Li started his evolution in an orderly manner.

Jiang Yuanchen's eyes twitched. The dragon and horse evolved by Yao Li were clearly the dragon and horse on his river map! After all, this is Barbarian Chess recorded by Jiang Yuanchen himself. It is also natural to record the relationship between Hetu and Longma. Through the river map, ordinary mortal demon horses can be evolved into special dragon horses.

Then, Yao Li tinkered for a while to use all the cards in his hand, and Longma was sealed in a cocoon of light: "Next, as long as Hetu returns to his roots, he can evolve into a Tianlong in two rounds. It's gone." Using Hetu is a way to avoid the catastrophe. Jiang Yuanchen used this trick to trick Yao Li several times. This was a bloody experience.

"That is to say, when Dong Yan's turn comes, both of you can complete your own Tianlong evolution!" Jiang Yuanchen suddenly sighed: "But do you think I will give you this opportunity?" He drew the cards from his hand, no Sue smiled and then spoke.

"Then please defeat our spiritual beasts." Neither Yao Li nor Dong Yan believed that Jiang Yuanchen could win in one round. After all, even his attack could only interrupt one person's evolution, right? Could it be existences like Hydra and Nine Phoenix that can attack multiple times?

"Haha!" Jiang Yuanchen spread out the five cards in his hand in the shape of a five-pointed star.

"The five parts of the Canglong, the Canglong's horn, the Canglong's scales, the Canglong's blood, the Canglong's claws and the Canglong's pearl, have been gathered together. Do I need to say more about what comes next? Follow the spring thunder of the earth and wake up from the depths of the earth. , Canglong King!”

The five-pointed star formation dropped five thunderbolts from the air on the dense forest chessboard, and a blue sky dragon flew out from the depths of the dense forest. Canglong, a natural divine beast, the ancient king of beasts. According to the fifty-six Tao Lords in the memory of the goddess Azurite, one of them happens to be a Canglong.

The chessboard shook, and then fireworks exploded one by one to celebrate Jiang Yuanchen's victory. Yao Li and Dong Yan were stunned for a long time, and could only smile bitterly and fold.

Among the four divine beasts, Canglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu are all natural divine beasts. In addition to using their medium to enlighten mortals to transform into dragons and phoenixes. You can also put together a set to complete the complete summoning of mythical beasts, which is another way to win.

"Are you coming again?" Jiang Yuanchen asked the two of them with a smile.

"No!" Dong Yan stood up and said solemnly: "Disciple understands what senior means. Barbarian Chess Beast Card is originally a method of controlling beasts and cultivating immortality. Senior means to let me choose this path, right?"

Jiang Yuanchen smiled: "Yes, you are the son of a human demon, and the demon blood in your body has been stimulated. So why not make good use of it. But what is a demon and what is a spirit? As a person from the Taixu Taoist Sect, you cannot be unclear." Jiang Yuanchen said lightly Ran smiled and put away the deck: "These are just illusion cards. You can kill monsters and collect real beast cards. Each beast card is a huge boost. I will teach you another inspiration skill. Method, as the foundation for you to collect vitality and train your spiritual consciousness. As for the offensive Taoist skills, you can rely on the Barbarian Chess Beast Card or find it yourself as a casual cultivator. My help to you is limited to this." Because Jiang Yuanchen is worried that he will do something to Taixu Dao Sect takes action, so he will not teach him powerful attack methods. But the same thing. He was also worried that he would be harmed by outsiders, so he gave him the method of controlling beasts so that he could protect himself.

Moreover, in this way, the Taixu Dao Sect has been given an explanation. Continuing Dong Yan's path will not harm the interests of Taixu Taoist Sect.

Dong Yan also thought clearly that these two seniors deliberately let him copy scriptures these days, probably because they wanted to tell him a truth. The method of practice lies not in the law, but in the Tao.

road. Ubiquitous and all-encompassing. Although those Taoist scriptures are unfamiliar and difficult to understand. But these are all lessons learned from the experience of our predecessors. The Barbarian Chess Beast Card looks like a game, but it also contains the principles of various changes in the five elements and the evolution of the spiritual beasts.

"I can lend you this Nine Phoenix Soul Jade Tablet for a hundred years, and you can return it to me after a hundred years." Jiang Yuanchen handed the sealed Nine Phoenix Tablet to Dong Yan, but just when Dong Yan was about to take it, Jiang Yuanchen raised his hand Ti: "No matter what your bloodline is, you must keep the principles of good and evil in mind. I can help you walk on the immortal path, but if you have evil intentions and harm the human race, then I will naturally have a way to settle the score with you in the future!"

"Junior, I swear that I will only cultivate immortality in this life. I will never use the magic of immortals to bully the weak and harm the human race. If I violate this, I will be torn apart by swords and die!"

Vows are not made lightly. You will be sensed by Yuheng Daojun, and he will be happy to torture you to death when you violate your oath. How can people who do not keep their promises and have a weak Taoist heart achieve Taoism?

The Blue Crystal Goddess is a goddess who came from outside the world and evolved a line of Blue people into enlightenment in the East China Sea. The world she was originally in was destroyed because the king of their world broke his oath in the past when he was undergoing the calamity of Yuheng Daojun, and was killed by Yuheng Daojun using the calamity of cause and effect.

The strongest person in the world exists with the ultimate combination of body and Tao. When that great god broke through to the realm of Tao Lord, he was blocked by Yu Heng Dao Lord. As a result, he died. Not to mention that the whole world also broke out into turmoil. In that world, the goddess Azurite was originally a little god who had just entered the Shinto. , by chance, he was reincarnated in the world of Kyushu, and received the permission of God Juyan to practice in the East China Sea.

Refining essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao are called Tao Lord after the four realms. Because the Dao Lord is truly an immortal being, his god is in the void universe and his true spirit is immortal, so Dao Lord Yu Heng, the leader of all Dao Lords, made a great wish to prevent Dao disasters and eliminate a large number of unqualified monks. Don’t let the eternal ways overflow. However, it is said that it was Dao Lord Yu Heng who made the great wish to block the way, so he has not been able to go one step further and become the seventh Dao Lord.

Cause and effect, this is the deepest impression in the memory of the Blue Crystal Goddess. Never recite the Oath of Cause and Effect indiscriminately, and do not make a Dao Lord breakthrough before the oath is completed, otherwise Dao Lord Yuheng will tell you what is the power of the Dao Lord!

Jiang Yuanchen himself also has profound experience with this. What he said at the beginning was categorical, why we as Taoists don't care about the love between our children, but in an instant, we were entangled in the love disaster unleashed by Lord Yu Heng. Jiang Yuanchen, who was angry at first, just wanted to slap himself in the mouth. It's a prophecy. If Jiang Yuanchen hadn't successfully passed the end in the end, the mere violation of his oath might not have been able to be integrated into Dao Lord's prosecution.

"Okay, now that you have made the oath, you just have to keep your heart. Now go and choose an inspiration technique." Jiang Yuanchen waved his sleeves, and Dong Yan fainted to the ground, and his soul was dragged into the dream world by Jiang Yuanchen.

In the Dream World, the divine realm created by Jiang Yuanchen's spirit, in addition to the Dream Tower that seals the dreams of all living beings and the Kyushu sand table he deduced, there is also a corridor, which is where Jiang Yuanchen collects books.

Dong Yan entered here in a daze. I saw ten colored auras flying in front of me, and the auras were imprisoned on each bookshelf. The huge bookshelf had hundreds of layers and was ten feet high. There are hundreds of bookshelves listed in the corridor, forming this huge corridor.

"The exercises on these bookshelves will light up if you are destined to do so. You can choose to see them yourself." Jiang Yuanchen's voice came from above. echoing in the corridors.

Jiang Yuanchen collected a lot of books, and the real physical version must be left in his Chunyang Dao Palace. Those original copies were sent to Langhuan Palace as part of the sect's inheritance. But most of the books read by Jiang Yuanchen will form projections in the dream world. This was the inspiration Jiang Yuanchen got from Prince Motian, and it was also his method in the future against the devil who blocked the way. Use the wisdom of the past condensed in this book corridor to stop the attack of the demon.

There are books from the Taixu Taoist Sect, the Tianmen Realm, the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and even books generated from the auras born in the dreams of living beings. These books enhanced Jiang Yuanchen's knowledge and made his vision not limited to the golden elixir level.

Dong Yan felt great admiration in his heart. After looking at these books, he found that many of them were dull. Because the books of the Taixu Taoist Sect were not allowed to be circulated outside the world, these books had no connection with Dong Yan. There are also many books that specifically limit the physical constitution of practitioners, and they have nothing to do with Dong Yan.

at last. Dong Yan stood in front of a bookshelf. The sealed books inside sensed Dong Yan's presence and were eager to escape.

"These classics are very suitable for you, you can choose based on your induction." Jiang Yuanchen said slowly.

After a while, Dong Yan selected a cyan light, which then turned into a piece of "Psychic Sutra".

"This is a skill that I found when I first traveled to the Tianmen Realm." Jiang Yuanchen explained: "This skill is to channel spirits and sense the heaven and earth. It can exercise one's own spirit and absorb the vitality of the world, but there is no special There are matching exercises. So, you can use the beast cards of controlling beasts and cultivating immortals for self-defense. In addition, all things have animism. This sentence seems to be swimming for you, you can have a good experience." Later, Dong Yan's soul was sent to Jiang Yuanchen Return to the body.

…

In the following time, Dong Yan asked Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanchen about their skills from time to time, or studied the wild chess beast cards used to control beasts and cultivate immortals. Jiang Yuanchen's beast cards are only for games, but there is another one that uses real beast cards to fight with each other. The winner then gets to pick a beast card from the loser and add it to his or her deck. A complete set of monster cards requires at least ten monster cards. Dong Yan will need to collect monster cards for a long time in the future.

Time passed quickly, and finally the day came for Jiang Yuanchen's parents to die.

On this day, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were making sweet treats for their great-grandson. Jiang Yuanchen's brother is only a few years younger than him, and he is now in his fifties. His three sons and five daughters got married one after another. There are also great-grandchildren surrounding the two elders.

Suddenly, Jiang's father had a vague feeling and said to Jiang's mother: "You and I have been able to borrow Chen'er's magical power for twenty years, and now the time limit has finally come."

Although there is great terror between life and death, what I knew twenty years ago, although there was a period of panic, I can now face it calmly. Jiang Yuanchen sacrificed his Tao body incarnation for the two elders, what else could the two elders ask for?

Everyone gathered around them, and after the two said their last words, they closed their eyes peacefully. In Jiang Yuanchen's eyes, the two fires of life were extinguished.

Somewhere along the way, a link of karma in Jiang Yuanchen's body was broken. This was the relationship between his mortal mother and son, and now it has completely dissipated.

"The funeral arrangements have been prepared." Jiang Chongjiu said to his brother silently: "Brother is also going back to the mountain? Do you have to wait until the first day of May?"

Jiang Yuanchen nodded: "We are separated by immortals and mortals. I will not enter the mortal world lightly in the future. Let's talk about it after I have served my two elders for seventy-seven forty-nine days." Seventy-seven forty-nine days have just passed his sixth birthday. It's ten years since my birthday, but I can't live it up because of my parents' affairs.

After that, they wore hemp and mourning, and welcomed the two elders to their graves. Everything had been prepared. Jiang Yuanchen personally selected the feng shui site, and Jiang Chongjiu asked someone to find the coffin for a century-old spiritual tree.

Everything was in order, and the leader of Chu State even came to express his condolences. As Mu Qingyi's biological brother, he is almost the same age as Jiang Chongjiu. After offering incense, he sat with Jiang Yuanchen for a while before returning to the palace.
