Celestial Immortal

Chapter 1046: Famous in the world! Eight-petal golden lotus

 The waterfall viewing tower.

 A cloud of incense drifts away in the breeze.

Mr. Mirror stood up and walked back and forth for a few steps, then stood in front of the railing and watched the waterfall quietly.

 Under the waterfall, the waterfall falling from the sky stirred up waves and mist. Under the impact of the water for many years, a huge pool was formed under the waterfall.

A dragon fish swam up one after another in the water pool, trying to "leap over the dragon's gate". The fish scales shone with a dazzling golden light under the scorching sun.

Unfortunately, the waterfall was high and the current was fast. The dragon fish jumped upstream again and again in vain. Halfway through the swim, they were washed down by the water and fell into the deep pool.

The scene before my eyes repeats itself over and over again.

 This can also be regarded as the "waterfall viewing tower" scene.

Mr. Ming Jing was used to it. After observing for a while, he shook his head and was about to leave.

At this moment, a high-pitched crane sound sounded, and a crane drew a graceful arc in the sky, and an arowana swimming upstream was caught in its mouth.

The next moment, the crane was about to feast, but the arowana was unwilling to be reduced to a meal, and struggled violently, waving its tail wildly.

During the fierce struggle, the dragon fish actually escaped from the crane's mouth and fell into the rapid waterfall.

Coincidentally, the place where it fell was not far from the upstream of the waterfall. When the dragon fish saw this, it swung its tail wildly and broke the water flow. With a "pop" sound, the dragon fish jumped up the waterfall and completed a "fish leap over the dragon gate" ".

"this"

Mr. Ming Jing, who turned around and was about to leave, saw this scene and was slightly startled, then fell into deep thought.

Not long after, a golden light flashed across the waterfall platform, and a female official appeared and bowed:

 “Your Majesty, it’s getting late, we’re going to discuss opening up territory in the northwest.”

 “I know it well.”

Mr. Mirror waved his hand, dismissed the female officer, and stood up to go to the meeting. However, before leaving, he couldn't help turning his head and murmured:

 “Fortune, fortune, can he succeed?”

 Yunzhou and Yuqin Lingshan were stationed there.

“Disciple, is the Celestial Court planning to give up exploring the southwest frontier?”

 Xu Ping heard from the little ghost boy that Mr. Ming Jing summoned his apprentice, and he rushed over as soon as possible. After hearing the news from his apprentice, he seemed extremely disappointed.

This news is no longer a secret within the Immortal Courtyard, and it has caused uproar throughout the city.

However, Xu Ping has always been unwilling to believe it. He feels that Tianchao Xianting has invested so much in the eight southwest states and will definitely not give up easily.

 However, now that Mr. Ming Jing has spoken in person, it is a certainty and there is no more suspense.

 For a time, Taoist Xu Ping was extremely disappointed.

 Over the years, he has invested countless efforts in the eight southwest states.

Yu Gong, he has been practicing in Yunzhou Ghost and God Division for many years, guarding the people, and prospering in Yunzhou;

In private matters, Lingshan Sect has established a firm foothold in Yuqin Mountain, operates well, and has broad development prospects, and has the atmosphere of a large sect.

 Everything is going in a good direction

Originally, he thought it was just a strategic shift and that the Celestial Empire would be able to fight back in a few years. However, he never expected that the center of development of the Celestial Empire would shift from the eight southwest states to the northwest.

“Master, the Immortal Court of Heaven has not given up on exploring the eight southwest states.”

Chu Chen understood his master’s thoughts and explained:

“The tide of demon energy will not end for a while. The demon realm is blocking us, so it is reasonable to change the direction of attack. Otherwise, without the goal and the expectation of harvest, we will be in chaos internally.”

“Yes, the general trend is inevitable and no one can stop it.”

Hearing this, Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly. He had always been resolute and rarely complained. He had only had a thought just now, but now that his hope was dashed, he felt relieved.

“As a teacher, I have started to move the mountain gate in the past few days to set an example.”

After finishing speaking, Taoist Xu Ping immediately thought of something and asked:

“Disciple, are you planning to stay in the eight southwest states?”

Chu Chen nodded.

Taoist Priest Xu Ping Xu Shi had already expected it. He looked calm and solemnly said:

“Disciple, I don’t want to say much more about my farewell to my master. I just want to ask you one question. Do you still remember what my master taught you back then?”

 “Remember! You can fly in a clear sky, don’t be like a moth!”

Chu Chen blurted out and immediately bowed respectfully:

 “The disciple never dares to forget the master’s teachings!”

 “Great good!”

Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction, said nothing at the moment, and turned around calmly.

Chu Chen watched his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, leave. When the others walked away, he immediately thought of something and started knitting the magic formula with his hands.

With a flash of inspiration, he held the little devil's collar in his hand and said "viciously":

“Little devil, did you and Master say something nonsense?”

 “I didn’t say anything!”

The little devil shook his head repeatedly, but soon he seemed to remember something and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm just going to show off, senior brother, that you killed the Demon Lord of East Ji with your clone. I didn't say anything else."

  “No wonder.”

Chu Chen suddenly realized what he was doing.

Master Xu Ping knew that his avatar had seized the body of an extraterrestrial demon, and he had not paid attention to it before. But when the little kid said that his avatar had killed all the "Eastern Demon Lords", he was shocked and worried. Know.

　The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

The Demon Lord of the East is such a person. He is a peerless strongman who once caused a stir in the spiritual world and competed with the strongest men in the world. At his peak, he was the top peerless strongman who stood up to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Even if his Taoist magical powers are not as good as the peak at the moment, it is not casual. It can be done.

 In fact, let alone Master Xu Ping.

That day at [Zhenyuan Pass], Taoist Chongxu, layman Xianyun and others saw Chu Chen returning, but none of them asked about the whereabouts of the "Dongji Demon Lord".

From their point of view, the Demon Lord of East Ji took action and also used the divine weapon [Nine-Dragon Sky Crown]. It would be great if Chu Chen could handle it and escape smoothly. No one dared to imagine that such a top peerless powerhouse could actually Will die in Chu Chen's hands.

I'm afraid that Demon Lord Dongji would not have thought more than ten years ago that after escaping from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he would die at the hands of the sixth-grade monks who were adventuring around the Demon Abyss to collect treasures.

“Senior brother, have you asked Mr. Ming Jing for credit?”

Seeing that his senior brother's expression had softened and his courage had increased, the little devil couldn't help but ask:

“Have you been rewarded? Have you been rewarded?”

"I'll give you a reward, senior brother, you're the kind of person who asks for credit!" Chu Chen glared at the little devil angrily, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Just now, he told Mr. Mingjing that he had killed the Demon King of the East. Mr. Ming was shocked when he heard about it and marveled at the growth of his demon incarnation.

However, it is a pity that Mr. Spiegel’s determination to change the strategic focus has not been shaken in the end.

Chu Chen didn’t say much about this.

 He ​​has always been a serious person. Others think that the tide of demonic energy is sweeping across and the demonic realm is growing in size, which is unstoppable. However, he does not believe in evil. Having created the "Great Demonic Way", he is confident that he can fulfill his great wish.

“Senior brother, is there really no reward? You won’t lie to me.”

“I originally planned to reward you with spiritual incense, but you talked nonsense in front of the master and it was gone.”

 “Ah~”

As the tide of magic swept across, Cangzhou, Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and Muzhou began the mighty "Great Migration."

Compared with places such as "Lizhou", Yunzhou and other places have been operated by the Celestial Dynasty for many years. The naturalized indigenous people have been educated and practiced Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Dharma. Many tribes are willing to follow Dachang and withdraw to Dajiuzhou. Therefore, this "Great Migration" "It can be said to be unprecedentedly huge.

Fortunately, the [Kyushu Barrier] in the eight southwest states was damaged, but the demon energy was poured in. The battle on the frontal battlefield was won, and the front line did not retreat even half a mile. Under the suppression of the army led by Yu Xuzi, the governor of the southwest, no demon army invaded and retreated. The road was very safe and there were basically no disturbances.

 In the following period, the “Great Migration” proceeded in an orderly manner.

 Compared with the "calm" Great Migration, the internal focus of the Dachang Dynasty was not this.

 No matter how you say this time, the Celestial Court suffered a big loss. It was at this time that Chu Chen's great achievement in killing the "Dongji Demon Lord" attracted the attention of the Celestial Court.

In order to regain their respect, Xianting wrote a big book about this matter, treating it as a major success story, boosting morale, and telling the world that the demon Zuo envoy, Lingxiao Taoist Chu Chenli, killed the top peerless powerhouse Dongji Demon Lord, and was so powerful. The world.

 At first, all the forces could not believe that the "Dongji Demon Lord" had died like this, but the Demon Court did not come forward to refute the rumors for a long time, confirming the matter.

 For a time, it shocked the world of spiritual practice.

A few days ago, Chu Chen joined the ranks of the peerless experts and fought against the "Blood Buddha", causing a sensation. At that time, he only became famous in the eight southwest states. Many peerless experts knew that there was a "extremely talented person" in the cultivation world. of offspring.

However, to be honest, Chu Chen is not yet qualified to enter the field of vision of those peerless strong men who have been around for a long time.

This time he killed the "Eastern Demon Lord", and the name of Lingxiao Taoist Chu Chen suddenly broke through the circle and jumped from the eight southwest states into the world's cultivation world.

 The four seas were shaken, and the whole world was shocked.

However, as the rightful owner at the forefront of the storm, Chu Chen had no idea that even the generous rewards from the Celestial Court were accepted by Qingying on his behalf.

Master Xu Ping, Taoist Master, was busy relocating the Lingshan Sect, and Qingying was busy relocating the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards, Chu Chen stole some free time and plunged into the "Qingchen Cave" and began to practice in seclusion.

This time, he gained a lot from killing the Demon Lord of East Ji.

Eastern Abyssal Dragon has obtained the [World-Destroying Abyssal Dragon's Origin Fire], and the clone [Five-color Dream Dragon] has obtained the demonic power of the Dongji Demon Lord. All of them need to be practiced with concentration and digested slowly before they can be improved.

Even Chu Chen himself received the "Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture" personally passed down by Mrs. Wei of Nanyue. He understood this classic of the Shangqing lineage, created his own immortal skill [Hunyuan Tianxin Xuan Gong], and improved his attainments in classics and alchemy. Very helpful.

 Because of this, Chu Chen did not delay and hurriedly retreated.

 The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night change,

There is no time in the cave, and two months have passed without knowing it.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged, his mind falling into the "Dream Realm".

In the dream of Demonic Abyss, the clone [Five-Colored Dream Dragon] incarnates as [Ji Dao Demon Lord] and sits high in the sky. Under him, a thousand-foot-long black demonic dragon spits out endless demonic flames, like the Lord of Demonic Abyss, overwhelming the world. The momentum is overwhelming.

At this moment, if someone with great magical powers from the Demon Court were here and saw this dragon, they would probably recognize it at a glance and shout the words "Destroying the Abyssal Dragon".

This dragon is the Dongji Abyssal Dragon that Chu Chen refined back then. After swallowing the original fire of the Demonic Flame of the Dongji Demon Lord, it took its place and was promoted to the new [World-Destroying Abyssal Dragon]. Its power is beyond compare. It is no worse than the demon dragon of Dongji Demon Lord, and it has become the "Demon Flame Divine Power" of the supreme magical power.

Of course, whether the magical power is strong or not depends on the owner.

The clone [Ji Dao Demon Lord] created the [Devil Dao Dao], and with the blessing of the Demon Ji Divine Power, the power of the demonic flame magical power [World Destroying Abyssal Dragon] became even more terrifying.

What’s even more frightening is that after the clone [Jidao Demon Lord] absorbed and refined the demonic power of Dongji Demon Lord, its strength also skyrocketed. His magic power was promoted to the late second level, and his magical power completely surpassed that of Dongji Demon Lord. Ordinary The second-grade Taoist expert with unparalleled power may not be his opponent.

 The promotion of the clone and Dongji Yuanlong were within Chu Chen's expectations, so it was not unexpected.

In fact, Chu Chen himself gained a lot from his comprehension of the "Shangqing Dadong True Sutra". Although his thorough understanding did not improve all of a sudden, his attainments in classics and alchemy were greatly improved, which is very important for his self-created immortal skills. His understanding of Yuan Tian Xin Xuan Gong became more and more sophisticated, reaching the Xuan realm.

 “Wonderful!”

Chu Chen held the Taoist sutra in his hands and finished reciting it. After completing his daily homework, his face showed a look of satisfaction.

 Originally, he didn’t have high hopes of breaking through to the “Second Level Daoxing” in a short time.

There are many "peerless and powerful people" in the world, but those who can break through the bottleneck of "second-level Taoism" and rank among the "top peerless and powerful people" are very few. They can only be counted on one hand in every era.

 Under normal circumstances, it is normal to be stuck in the "second-level path" for ten or twenty years, dozens of years, hundreds of years, or even forever, and the path to immortality will be dead.

Chu Chen originally thought that he needed to complete the "Great Vision of Daoism" before he could have a chance to break through to the second level of Daoism.

However, after studying the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", he gained a lot and saw hope - maybe he can break through to the second level of Taoism in two or three years before the "Qingchen Cave Heaven" comes out!

Once he breaks through to the second level of Taoism, Chu Chen will have 100% confidence in guarding Dongtian.

With this thought, Chu Chen’s mind condensed and he sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

 I saw, in the sea of ​​consciousness, a golden lotus of merit and virtue standing tall and graceful.

Over the years, I have been preaching and teaching, controlling demons with demons, and accumulating merit little by little. Unknowingly, the [Golden Flower of Merit] blossomed into eight petals, leaving only one petal unopened.

“If the [Golden Lotus of Merit] takes shape, and with the help of this precious treasure of merit, my confidence in breaking through to the second level of Taoism will definitely be increased by three points.”

Chu Chen was thinking secretly.

 Over the past two months, the development of the [Devil Cult] under his command has not stopped, and it has jumped to more than 18,800 people, which is quite large.

This group of Demonic Cult members specializes in "eating evil" and devouring all evil spirits and outsiders in the Demon Realm. For Chu Chen, this is "slaying demons and eliminating demons", which has great good deeds and is very important to the catalytic [Golden Lotus of Merit] favorable.

In addition, the strength of the Demon Ji Cult members is not very strong at the moment, but once they are allowed to grow, they will be able to influence the "Demon Realm" unknowingly and control the Demon Realm, which will be very useful for him to clean up the Demon Realm in the future.

“The number of Demonic Cultists is almost 20,000, almost full.”

Chu Chen murmured to himself, but there was not much worry on his face.

 Exactly one year has passed since the last time he used the [Liujia Shenyan Technique], and he was able to use this victory-hating technique to curse and kill [Shen Jian Wanggu] again.

 There are 84,000 statues of Mao Yuanjun, who rely on the gods to look at the ancient wool
