Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"When did our sect have an acting headmaster?"

The yellow-robed man's loud shout not only made Qi Xiu look hesitant, but also the group of elders of the Yun generation beside him were completely confused.

But when the man in yellow robe unfolded the scroll of edict in his hand, the bright red seal on the lower left side immediately revealed the identity of the acting headmaster.

Dongfang Xiong!

"Is it the Great Elder? Has he come out of seclusion?!"

Seeing Dongfang Xiong's private seal below the decree, the elders of the Yun generation were surprised and delighted.

Dongfang Xiong is the grand elder of the Shenxiao Sect and the elder brother of the Supreme Sect Master Dongfang Qing. He is also the one with the greatest hope of achieving the Supreme Spirit in the sect.

In order to be able to impact the realm of the primordial spirit.

Dongfang Xiong announced that he would go into seclusion three hundred years ago, and there has been no news of him since then. Many new disciples don’t even know that such a great elder exists.

This time, Dongfang Xiong suddenly ordered to summon Qi Xiu, and he was in the capacity of acting headmaster, which must be related to the disappearance of the supreme headmaster Dongfang Qing.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Qi Xiu did not delay. After saying goodbye to his master and a group of uncles and uncles, he followed the Taoist in yellow robes all the way to the depths of the mountain gate of Shenxiao Sect.

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, do you know why the headmaster summoned me?"

Riding on the cloud, a strong wind blew towards him. Qi Xiu spoke softly, asking the Taoist in the yellow robe in front of him.

"Master didn't say exactly what it was, but I think it's related to Uncle Qing's disappearance."

The Taoist in yellow robe had a simple voice. After replying with one sentence, he stopped talking.

Knowing that he would not be able to get anything out of this Taoist priest, Qi Xiu did not say anything more.

Riding on the clouds at high speed, the two soon arrived at a place where thousands of acres of thunderclouds gathered. The sky and the earth were dark, and from time to time, blazing lightning flashed across the sky at the edge of a dark stone cliff.

Looking at the uneven stone cliff in front of him, which seemed to have been broken by countless thunder strikes, Qi Xiu could clearly feel the artistic conception of the great way of thunder contained therein.

Preaching cliff!

One of the mysterious forbidden areas within the Shenxiao Sect.

It is rumored that the founder of the Shenxiao Sect, Jiutian Shenxiao Yu Lei Zhenzun, realized the great way of thunder here and then founded the Shenxiao Sect.

When Jiutian Shenxiao Yulei Zhenzun achieved the realm of primordial spirit, he preached here for a hundred days, which caused the heaven and earth to resonate and formed a grand phenomenon with thousands of thunders roaring and the heavenly palace welcoming him.

And the eternal essence of the great way of thunder was left behind on this stone cliff.

Therefore, this inconspicuous black stone cliff also has the name of Preaching Cliff.

It's just that the essence of the great way of thunder left by the founder is too powerful. Over the long years, it has not only not dissipated, but has continuously absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and gradually transformed into thousands of supreme golden thunders.

Ordinary people from the Shenxiao Sect, even those with great powers of the Dao body, dare not come here easily to practice and comprehend.

Because people who practice thunder magic have accumulated thunder energy in their bodies, it is easy for them to trigger thunder resonance, just like a human-shaped lightning rod.

Practicing here can make rapid progress, and the comprehension of thunder magic has improved rapidly.

But one careless move would trigger the bombardment of the supreme golden thunder.

Not to mention the powerful Taoist body, even the true soul could not withstand a few blows.

Only someone like Dongfang Xiong, who has already glimpsed the path to the great way of the soul and is only one step away from reaching the realm of true master, would come here to retreat and strive for that ultimate realm.

With the help of the essence of the Thunder Method left by his ancestors and the pressure of thousands of supreme golden thunders, he forced himself to break through as soon as possible and become the second Yuanshen True Venerable of the Shenxiao Sect!

Before stepping onto the Preaching Cliff, in the void, rumbling golden thunders appeared like blue dragons poking their heads out from the thick clouds.

Thunder of the Yuanshen level...

Qi Xiu's expression froze as he almost immediately sensed the tremendous pressure of these supreme golden thunders.

It is worthy of being the essence of thunder magic left by our ancestors.

Every golden thunder in the sky above the preaching cliff can rival the full-strength attack of Yuanshen Zhenzun. If ten thousand thunders roar, Yuanshen Zhenzun will also be killed on the spot.

If Gao Tianxiong had not suddenly broken into the mountain gate before, with the knowledge in the mountain gate, if he had been prepared in advance, it should have been no problem to take down three or five Yuanshen True Lords.

While Qi Xiu was still sighing at the powerful force contained in the Lecture Cliff, the Taoist in yellow robe bowed slightly and spoke softly to the group of people at the top of the cliff:

"Master, Junior Brother Qi Xiu is here."

"You go down first."

From the top of the stone cliff, came a vicissitudes of life and heavy voice.

"Yes, Master."

With a light response, the Taoist in yellow robe nodded to Qi Xiu, then rode on a cloud and gradually moved away from the cliff where the Dharma was being preached.

"You are Qi Xiu. Qingchen said that you are a rare talent in our Shenxiao Sect. I am almost getting calluses on my ears from his nagging.

Seeing it today, it is indeed as he praised.

You have not wasted his painstaking efforts in cultivating you."

Hearing Dongfang Xiong's praise for him, Qi Xiu realized that the Qingchen he was referring to was the headmaster Dongfang Qing. Qingchen was his courtesy name, so he stood up straight and bowed to express his gratitude:

"Thank you for your praise, Master. I called you here today. Is it because of the disappearance of the Master?"

"Well, your guess is right. Come up first and let's talk in detail."

Before Dongfang Xiong finished speaking, a flat road made of lightning suddenly appeared from the top of the cliff.

Looking at the Thunder Road extending to his feet, Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and after a pause, he took a step forward.

laugh--

The moment he stepped onto this Thunder Road, the violent and surging power of thunder instantly rushed into Qi Xiu's body like a raging tide rising from the ground.

An exam?

Sensing Dongfang Xiong's intention, Qi Xiu smiled faintly, and endless thunder exploded in the void behind him. A thunder pool with a missing corner was reviving, and the lightning that rushed into his body from the Thunder Road was absorbed into the thunder pool almost in an instant.

The movement died down and became silent.

"Hehehe..."

A satisfied laugh came from the top of the stone cliff.

Knowing that he had passed the test, Qi Xiu took a big step and climbed up to the highest level of the Dharma Lecture Cliff along this road.

On the uneven black stone cliff platform, small golden grasses grow in the tiny cracks of the rocks.

In the center of this stone cliff, a tall, middle-aged man wearing a dark gray Taoist robe, with a skinny body, messy hair, and a beard hanging down to his chest, looking very decadent, but with a pair of bright eyes, was sitting quietly.

"Disciple Qi Xiu, greetings to Uncle Master."

Seeing Dongfang Xiong's decadent and slovenly appearance, Qi Xiu showed no surprise. He respectfully bowed to the elder brother of the sect leader Dongfang Qing and bowed to him.

"The spirit is restrained and the Tao is natural.

Good, good, no wonder Qingchen gave you the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Controlling Treasure Order.

If it weren't for you this time, Gao Tianxiong, that lion dog, would have really taken advantage of me."

Scratching his messy hair, Dongfang Xiong chuckled softly, and his words showed that he was very satisfied with Qi Xiu's performance.

Listening to Dongfang Xiong's words, Qi Xiu also raised his eyes slightly and looked at the great elder of the Shenxiao Sect, the brother of the Supreme Master, the one who had the greatest hope of achieving the True Spirit.

Although he and the headmaster Dongfang Qing are brothers from the same mother.

But whether in terms of image or temperament, Dongfang Xiong and Dongfang Qing are completely opposite when put together.

The headmaster Dongfang Qing is handsome, unrestrained and casual, and he always looks lazy and leisurely on weekdays, giving people the feeling that he is a playboy.

But this feeling is more like a disguise that Dongfang Qing gives himself, a mask that he hopes others will see and believe.

And those who really know him well know that this man, who always looks lazy and smiles at everyone, actually has a terrifying and scheming mind.

But look at the great elder Dongfang Xiong.

From the first moment Qi Xiu saw him, a word involuntarily came to his mind: steady.

Yes, compared to Dongfang Qing’s unrestrained and free feeling above the nine heavens.

Dongfang Xiong gives people the feeling of being down-to-earth and steady. Although his broad body is a little thin, it gives people a feeling that he can embrace everything and hold up the sky.

It seems that as long as you stand next to him, you will have the sense of security that there will be someone to support you even if the sky falls.

"Don't be so formal. This lecture hall is simple. Please sit anywhere you like."

Waving his hand to signal Qi Xiu not to be restrained, Dongfang Xiong plucked a few strands of golden grass leaves beside him, rolled them into a straw rope, and tied up his messy hair.

"I called you here this time because Qingchen has a few things for me to tell you."

"Uncle Master, please speak."

"Qingchen left in a hurry this time and did not have time to explain various matters, and in order to ensure that everything was well prepared.

No one in the whole sect, except you and me, knows where he went.

The first thing he told you was that after you return from the Blood Lotus World, you should go to the Taoist Alliance as soon as possible to retrieve the set of [Twenty-Four Sea-Fixing Divine Pearls].

This item is not easy to come by, so we must not lose the news again.

The second thing is that you need to improve your own strength as soon as possible.

A time of great chaos is about to come, and it may sweep across the entire Middle-earth.

He has gone far away to the outer world, and no one knows when he will return. I have locked myself on this preaching cliff, and unless I break through the realm of the primordial spirit, I cannot leave this place even a step.

If a catastrophe strikes, the Divine Sky Sect will have to rely on you to hold on."

When talking about the second thing, Dongfang Xiong looked at Qi Xiu in front of him.

This child is only over a hundred years old now. Is it too much for Qingchen to give him such a heavy responsibility? Can he bear it...

Seeing Dongfang Xiong suddenly stop talking halfway through his words, Qi Xiu thought that the other party was waiting for his response, so he immediately said:

"Uncle Master, rest assured. I will do my best to follow the Master's instructions."

"Okay, one last thing..."

Looking at the firm look on Qi Xiu's handsome face, Dongfang Xiong's eyes moved slightly, and an inexplicable premonition surged into his heart.

Qingchen has never missed it since he was a child.

Today, it won’t happen either.

After calming down, Dongfang Xiong turned over his palm and took out a jade token that seemed to be made of purple gold and was as transparent as colored glaze.

There are nine Taoist seals of thunder magic carved on the top of the jade order, and a sword and a seal carved on the bottom, with two large characters engraved in the middle in the ancient seal of the human race.

Shenxiao!

Holding the Divine Jade Token, Dongfang Xiong sat up straight, his expression became solemn, and he opened his lips slightly, and a loud voice like a huge bell suddenly echoed throughout the Lecture Cliff:

"All members of the Shenxiao Sect should practice together and listen to my orders!"
