Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

No thoughts, no ideas, no sadness, no joy!

The light in his eyes gradually faded, Qi Xiu's gaze became pure and indifferent, and he exuded a faint aura of profound mind and consciousness, and he had already stepped into the realm of [combining the body with the Tao].

The profound and mysterious meaning of the [Hunyuan Transformation Method] kept flashing through his mind.

The most difficult part of the Hunyuan Transformation Method is getting started.

If one wants to transform one's body into Hunyuan Qi, one must reach an extremely high level in controlling the Dao of Hunyuan.

The fourth-generation Hunyuan Gao old man also cultivated himself in the Yuanshen realm for many years before he gradually mastered this method.

The reason why he planned to teach Qi Xiu his unique skills after meeting him was that

It can be seen that his special physique of Hunyuan Wanfa Immortal Body makes him a natural material for practicing the Hunyuan Transformation Method.

The most difficult hurdle had already been overcome when Qi Xiu had forged the immortal body of Hunyuan Wanfa.

All that remains is to practice step by step and you will be able to master this mysterious method.

Silently comprehending the key points of the Hunyuan Transformation Method, Qi Xiu lowered his gaze to the proficiency panel below his field of vision.

He wanted to know whether this Hunyuan Transformation Method would be included in the "Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing" or would be listed as a separate skill on the panel.

As time went by, Qi Xiu gradually understood the essence of the Hunyuan Transformation Method.

And at this time.

On the proficiency panel, a new line of words began to slowly emerge below the "Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing".

[Hunyuan Transformation Method (Level 0.1): %]

“Sure enough, this Hunyuan Transformation Method was not something I learned through the Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing, but was taught by someone else, just like the magic spell recorded in Huang Gong’s memorial.

Although it has the name Hunyuan, it cannot be counted as one of the immortal scriptures.

This is what Old Man Gao said...

Is there a way to be a Hunyuan generation?"

Qi Xiu had a premonition that the Hunyuan Transformation Method was not included in the "Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing". Although it was listed separately, it would cause him to devote more energy to improving his realm alone.

But for now.

It’s not a bad thing that this method is listed separately.

If it is really to be included in the "Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing", then it would be very difficult to quickly improve its realm and allow oneself to transform into the Great Array of Time.

After all, the growth of proficiency in "Hunyuan Wanfa Xianjing" has slowed to an extreme level.

Unless Qi Xiu does nothing, calms down and shuts himself up in seclusion.

It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to bring it up to a higher level.

But he obviously doesn't have this opportunity now.

And improving the Hunyuan Transformation Method alone would naturally be less difficult.

Since there was an entry for the Hunyuan Transformation Method on the proficiency panel, Qi Xiu no longer had any other worries. He immediately concentrated on practicing this method, striving to be able to transform his body into a large formation as soon as possible and return to the afterlife.

……

"Master, you don't know that in the past six months, I have gained a lot of knowledge."

After being away for half a year, Hu Tianzong finally returned to the ancient city that never sleeps.

The more than one hundred days of traveling also opened the eyes of the young master of the Hu family in later generations.

Although I was unable to get a glimpse of the full picture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, I could still feel the grandeur and power of this legendary world.

As soon as he returned to the Protectorate and found Qi Xiu, Hu Tianzong tirelessly told him everything he had seen and learned along the way.

What about the giant ships that are as big as dragons and whales flying across the sky, the railways that are laid all over the country and spread to all prefectures and counties, and the medical clinics that are set up under the Imperial Medical Bureau and even in towns and villages...

There are so many kinds, too numerous to count.

"Do you know what my biggest feeling is after this trip?" Holding a cup of hot tea, Hu Tianzong blew away the floating tea leaves with a complicated look:

"During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, monks were restricted and supervised everywhere.

On the contrary, ordinary people live a rich and prosperous life.

The upper is the lower, and the lower is the upper.

No dynasty since has been like this.

Could it be that this is the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to achieve such a great feat?"

Hearing Hu Tianzong's narration of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Qi Xiu was slightly surprised, but nodded secretly.

Judging from the various scenes described by Hu Tianzong, the prosperous Tang Dynasty had obviously developed into the industrial age, but it was only inferior to that in his previous life.

The Tang Dynasty integrated the power of the spiritual world to develop a unique industrial system.

And today's sage of the Tang Dynasty is obviously also a wise, enlightened and capable ruler.

While developing a strong industrial system, we not only strengthened the control and constraints on the major forces in the cultivation world, but also comprehensively built a complete and sound public infrastructure system.

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

This sentence is applicable in any world.

And in this Tianyuan world, the biggest gain of the Tang Dynasty's actions.

I guess it’s the humanitarian merit!

As one who also carries the merits of humanity, Qi Xiu is very clear that once this power accumulates to a certain level, it will cause a qualitative change.

It can even generate power to counter the laws of nature!

This may be the uniqueness of human beings as the protagonists of heaven and earth.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty paid so much attention to ordinary people that it even made Hu Tianzong feel that "the superiors are the inferiors and the inferiors are the superiors", which shows how hard they worked.

Under such an atmosphere, the Tang Dynasty must have accumulated unimaginable humanitarian merits.

Therefore, Hu Tianzong guessed one thing right. The reason why the Tang Dynasty could achieve such a great cause was indeed due to everything he saw.

"But even though I've walked a lot and seen a lot, I still haven't found the way." Shaking his head helplessly, Hu Tianzong spread his hands.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty was vast, far beyond the comparison of later generations.

During the past six months, he traveled to four states, nine prefectures, and 734 counties, and also found some ghost markets and black markets that were doing underground activities.

But the things needed to set up the Time Array are extremely rare and scarce.

Most of them are things that are expressly controlled by the imperial court. These ghost markets and black markets dare not get their hands on them, for fear of being discovered by the imperial court and having their people chopped off.

Moreover, Hu Tianzong did not have a household registration in the Tang Dynasty.

In this court, even the true spirits have to be registered.

Without a certificate issued by the Tang Dynasty's Wan Dao Fa Si, Hu Tianzong could not enter many big cities.

It can only be used in some peripheral state capitals where management is slightly looser.

"If all else fails, we can only ask Song Baiyi to get us an identity certificate from the Wandao Law Department, and then I can sneak into those capitals to have a look." Hu Tianzong put down his teacup and said.

"No need for that. You've worked hard over the past six months. I've already found a way to solve the problem of the materials for the Time Array.

On the fifth day of next month, you and I will prepare to return to the afterlife."

During the past half year of seclusion and cultivation, with the help of the state of merging the body with the Tao, and the simultaneous cultivation of one hundred external incarnations, Qi Xiu has already forced the Hunyuan Transformation Method to the sixth level!

He couldn't transform into a great Dao weapon at will like Old Man Gao did.

But he has already mastered the incarnation of this great array of time.

"Huh? Solved?" Hu Tianzong looked surprised when he heard Qi Xiu say that the problem with the materials of the Time Array had been solved.

"How to solve it?"

"Don't ask me about this. Go and get ready. I need to go talk to Song Baiyi."

Although he and Hu Tianzong are friends of life and death, Qi Xiu still has to keep the secret between the true dragon body and the true body of the deity secret.

Seeing that Qi Xiu was unwilling to say more, Hu Tianzong nodded and stopped asking. Everyone has secrets, including him. Given the level of trust between the two, since Qi Xiu didn't want to say anything, he must have his reasons.

……

"Want to leave?"

Song Baiyi, who was wiping a dragon-patterned spear, was startled when he heard Qi Xiu saying goodbye to him, then nodded:

"That's right, a man with ambitions to travel the world cannot stay in peace for long.

Walking more often will also be beneficial to your spiritual practice."

Although Song Baiyi was a little surprised that Qi Xiu was leaving, he also thought it was normal.

He had already reported Qi Xiu Zhenlong's identity. He did not dare to hide such a thing, nor could he hide it.

There are only four responses to the above: Let it be.

Obviously, although the top leaders of the Tang Dynasty were surprised by the sudden appearance of Qi Xiu, a member of the True Dragon clan, they did not intend to take any specific action.

After all, the true dragon clan has always been mysterious.

This was especially true after their entire clan disappeared in ancient times.

However, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, we will not be afraid even if the true dragon clan returns.

Therefore, there was not much reaction to Qi Xiu, a lone little dragon.

"Have you decided where to go?" Song Baiyi turned around and asked.

"Not yet, just take a walk first."

After spending more than half a year together, the relationship between Qi Xiu and Song Baiyi has become better and better. This Shangduhu has a generous temper and is not fussy about trivial matters. He does not have the airs of a Yuanshen Zhenzun at all.

Just thinking about this loyal general who loves his people and is dedicated to protecting the ancient city that never sleeps, it is very likely that he will die in the hands of that evil god in the future.

Qi Xiu hesitated to speak, wanting to remind Song Baiyi, but due to his identity as a person from later generations, he could not say it clearly.

Seeing that Qi Xiu seemed to have something to say, Song Baiyi's expression moved slightly. With a wave of his hand, the small world law suddenly unfolded. The Buddha's light completely enveloped the entire room, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds echoed, transforming it into a space independent of the big world.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I have kept the secret secret, so no one can see through it."

Qi Xiu pursed his lips, thought about it again and again, and then slowly spoke:

“Protector General, I have cultivated a method that can sense the aura of great calamity that is about to strike a living being. Excuse me for being blunt, but there is an aura of calamity gathering around you.

Perhaps a catastrophe will come soon.

This disaster may endanger life and death.

I have a message for you... As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Xiu still chose to remind Song Baiyi, but he did not say it so thoroughly. Instead, he changed the way he said it.

"Oh?"

Qi Xiu's words made Song Baiyi's eyes focus. After a moment of silence, he nodded at him:

"Okay, I'll remember this.

After we part here, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Since you gave me a word, I will also give you something."

Hearing that Song Baiyi also wanted to give him something, Qi Xiu wanted to refuse politely. After all, he reminded Song Baiyi that he was giving the gift based on his character and virtues, not to expect a return gift.

But when he saw what Song Baiyi took out, he was stunned.
