Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Sword Master, the entire Great Xuan Territory is now in chaos.

The competition among the three forces made the people of Middle-earth live in misery, tens of millions of people lost their lives, and the resentment was soaring that it would not dissipate.

If this continues, it may harm the fortune of our race."

Taoist Alliance, Tianji Hall.

In the vast dark palace, twelve golden plates engraved with ancient human inscriptions were floating up and down.

And this is the highest power organization in the Taoist Alliance.

Twelve in attendance!

At this moment, there were nine figures sitting cross-legged on the twelve golden plates, while the other three golden plates were empty. It was unknown whether the owner was absent or the candidate had not been decided yet.

Sitting cross-legged on the golden plate at the top of the table, dressed in a plain robe, with gray hair and beard, sword-like eyebrows raised, the imposing Qinglian Sword Master half-closed his eyes, and after a long while, he slowly spoke:

“This time, the outside world raised troops to besiege our Tianyuan Realm, causing our Dao Alliance to devote most of its energy to the outside world.

I have actually neglected a lot of things happening in the Middle-earth world.

The Zhao Dynasty has gone against the will of heaven, its fate has come to an end, and it should abdicate.

But the position in the Central Imperial Court is not something that anyone can occupy.

Jingzhe, your cousin, under the guise of raising an army to support the king, actually committed murder and killing. Half of the civilians who were killed or injured this time were because of him.

Go back and tell him.

If he likes killing so much, I can send him out of the realm, where he can kill as many aliens as he wants."

Being personally named by Qinglian Sword Master, Yang Jingzhe, who was sitting on the side, looked a little embarrassed.

Although there is no apparent distinction of rank among the twelve attendees, their statuses are equal.

But the Qinglian Sword Master of this generation is the strongest sword master in history after that immortal.

A long sword once challenged nineteen evil gods from outside the domain, which made people convinced.

His extremely strong style of doing things made the overall strength of the Taoist Alliance reach its peak, but it also made the other twelve True Lords in attendance feel under tremendous pressure.

Many times, even they would feel a little bit afraid of this old venerable.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass on your message.

If he dares to do anything wrong again, I will personally throw him out of the territory."

Yang Jingzhe nodded in response, with no expression on the surface, but he was actually cursing loudly inside.

Damn it, that bastard caused me to be singled out and criticized.

Just wait for me, when I get back, I’ll beat your ass!

"The Zhao family has reached the end of its luck, and resisting stubbornly will only lead to more bloodshed.

How was the last South China Sea incident handled?"

As he spoke, Qinglian Sword Master turned his gaze towards a scholar in green robes.

This person is Meng Ling, the dean of Haoran Academy, one of the twelve attendees.

Feeling the gaze of the Qinglian Sword Sect, Meng Ling slowly shook his head:

"After the South China Sea incident, Meng met with Zhao Xuanyin several times, but the news from the Zhao family was that he was ill and bedridden and unable to get up.

After repeated delays, no concrete news came back until the Great Xuan Civil War broke out."

"Humph!"

A light snort shook the entire Tianji Hall slightly, and the Qinglian Sword Sect slowly opened their eyes. The clear black and white, sharp eyes cut countless cracks in the void.

“It seems that the Zhao family has long been planning to fight to the death.

This is good, we don't have to go through the procedures anymore.

The Zhao family has lost the support of the people and has committed serious sins.

Meng Ling, you must immediately issue an order to recall the imperial court artifacts from their hands!

If you dare to resist, kill you! "

The murderous words of Green Lotus Sword Master made all the True Masters present feel a chill.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that the Zhao family was really a group of daring thieves who had no idea of ​​their own limitations.

After being the emperor of the human race for more than a thousand years, do you really think you are the supreme ruler who can rule the world?

Don't you think about it? This Dao Alliance can let you sit on this seat, but it can also make you roll down.

If the old Sword Master hadn’t had to deal with the foreign coalition forces some time ago.

You have been made to kneel in a row, waiting to be beheaded.

"Meng Ling understands."

After responding, all the True Masters present stood up and prepared to leave. However, the moment they stood up, they saw thousands of golden lights suddenly rising from the pool at the bottom of the Tianji Hall which was originally dark and gloomy.

The vast light illuminates the entire hall.

The faces of all the present True Lords were cast with a layer of gold.

"Huh? Someone is going to survive the great tribulation of the Yuanshen?!"

With a tone of surprise, the True Lords present all stood up and cast their gazes towards the Tianji Pool below.

I saw the water in the pool that seemed as stagnant as mercury, yet transparent and clear.

A lotus bud is about to bloom.

The lotus was glowing with a jade-silver luster, and a Taoist pattern was faintly visible on the surface. On the lotus leaves below, lightning and thunder were constantly flowing, exuding a majestic power.

Seeing the lightning patterns on the lotus and the flashes of lightning, the True Lords immediately understood.

"It's the one from the Shenxiao Sect again."

"Including this time, this is his seventh time to survive the great catastrophe of the Yuanshen."

"Yes. In recent years, he is the only one who has the background and qualifications to impact the Great Dao of the Soul."

"I have survived seven times without success and have died. Isn't this a skill?"

“The Divine Sky Sect controls the avenue of thunder and has an innate advantage in overcoming tribulations.

Moreover, every time this person was going through a tribulation, Dongfang Qing would hold up the Thunder City in his hands to protect him personally.

When a disaster threatens a person's life, he will intervene to forcibly interrupt it.

Otherwise, do you think there is anyone who can survive seven great spiritual tribulations?"

Looking at the blooming Yuanshen Tribulation Flower, the True Masters were both surprised and indifferent, but more of them showed a hint of envy.

Among them, most are the heads of major wealthy families.

There are also some promising talents under his command who have reached the state of perfect body and are capable of triggering a great catastrophe of the soul.

But in fact, neither the Taoist True Lords themselves nor them were willing to easily overcome this calamity of the soul.

There is no other reason.

Just one word: difficult!

The biggest reason why the number of Yuanshen Zhenzun is so rare is because the difficulty of Yuanshen catastrophe is too terrifying.

The total number of Daoshen Zhenjun in the human race may exceed 100,000.

But there are less than a hundred true primordial spirits.

This is the number accumulated over thousands of years, and the proportion will be even higher.

This shows how difficult the great calamity of the soul is.

Dongfang Xiong has gone through the great tribulation of the soul six times during the past thousand years, and failed every time. However, each time he was only seriously injured and did not die.

It was all thanks to Dongfang Qing's personal protection. As long as the calamity threatened his brother's life, he would use the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City to forcibly destroy the calamity.

Such a shameless method made all the True Masters speechless and envious.

If they also have such means, there is no guarantee that there won’t be another great soul boss under their command!

"But this time, it seems to be different. Dongfang Qing is trapped outside the domain and has not yet returned.

This person once again started the calamity of his soul.

I estimated that the six previous tribulations had almost exhausted his essence.

This should be his last time to survive the tribulation.

If successful, the soul will ascend to heaven.

If you fail, you will die and your philosophy will be destroyed.

But I failed six times before, can I succeed this time?"

The person who spoke was an old man wearing a gray robe, with a long beard hanging down to his chest and a kind face. He was the director of the Zaohua Medical Clinic.

The Taoist tradition of Zaohua Medical Clinic originated from the medieval giants Shengsheng Zaohua Sect and Jishijiu Tower. It took the teachings of both sects and combined them to form the current unique Taoist tradition.

There is no mountain gate and no station.

All the staff of the clinic, including the director, travel around the world to save people. Besides saving people, their other skills are to escape.

It is considered to be a force with very high prestige and virtue in the Middle-earth.

Also because they never participated in struggles, the entire sect was dedicated to doing good and saving people.

Therefore, the director of the Creation Medical Clinic in each generation would automatically be included in the twelve seats. Even an extremely powerful True Master like Qinglian Sword Master had great respect for this old doctor.

"What Elder Sun said makes sense. This tribulation should be this person's last chance. Success or failure depends on this one."

Gazing at the budding Yuanshen lotus below, the True Lords had calm expressions but a host of thoughts in their minds.

On the one hand, they hope that Dongfang Xiong can overcome the tribulation smoothly.

Nowadays, all the races and alien species outside the realm are eyeing the Tianyuan world covetously. Not long ago, they even openly formed an alliance and wanted to besiege the Tianyuan world. This shows that they have never given up their evil intentions to seize the Tianyuan world.

But on the other hand, they don't want Dongfang Xiong to achieve the primordial spirit.

There are two True Masters in one family, and there is also an innate divine artifact like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City.

Isn’t the Shenxiao Sect a little too dazzling?

As if sensing the stirrings in the hearts of the True Lords, Qinglian Sword Lord narrowed his eyes and shouted:

"What are you still looking at? Go do what you need to do!"

After being shouted at by the old True Venerable, everyone stopped lingering and turned into rainbow lights and left the Tianji Hall.

Only the old doctor from the Zaohua Medical Clinic stayed.

"Times have changed, and young people are becoming more and more impetuous. Don't be too anxious. Since ancient times, the Tianyuan world has been peaceful for too long.

Without external pressure, internal undercurrents will naturally surge.”

Looking at Qinglian Sword Master's frown, the old doctor smiled and persuaded him.

"But we don't have much time."

Slowly standing up, Qinglian Sword Master stood with his hands behind his back, his expression showing a trace of vicissitudes:

"This time, the rebellion of the outer worlds is a signal.

A great catastrophe is approaching, external troubles have not yet been resolved, and internal strife continues.

If we can’t survive this time, the fate of our human race will come to an end.”

Hearing the faintly tired voice of Qinglian Sword Master, the old doctor hesitated to speak, and finally could only whisper to comfort:

"Our human race has been able to stand proudly since ancient times until today, and this time will be no exception."

With deep eyes, Qinglian Sword Master nodded slowly after hearing the voice:

"hope so……"

……

Tianyuan world, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, Shenxiao sect!

Above the endless and vast sky, a thrilling scene is unfolding.

The rolling black clouds were like towering tides, rushing in with overwhelming force.

The overwhelming momentum seemed to swallow up everything in the world.

The entire province was shrouded in this terrifying black cloud, and the originally bright world instantly fell into darkness.

In the dark clouds, flashes of lightning moved like blue dragons, shuttling through the depths of the clouds, sometimes flashing dazzling light, sometimes disappearing into the darkness, trying to break free and destroy everything in front of them.

In this dark chaos, there seems to be a pair of eyes hidden in the depths of the thundercloud.

There was endless majesty in those eyes, as if the master of heaven and earth was looking down on all living beings.

Indifferent, cold, without a trace of emotion, as if everything in the world is as small as ants in its eyes.

It quietly examines everything. Wherever its gaze reaches, an invisible pressure descends, making the mountains and rivers tremble and all living creatures crawl.

However, under such a horrifying vision, the civilians in the entire Yunnan and Sichuan provinces seemed not to see anything and just minded their own business. The devastating black clouds above their heads seemed to not exist at all.

The calamity of the soul will not bring disaster to common people!

But looking at the forces in the cultivation world, they were looking at the sea of ​​thunderclouds with horror and shock on their faces.

"Again?"

"This is the seventh time. This Taoist priest will not give up until he reaches the state of Yuanshen, right?"

"Awesome, really fucking awesome. When we go through the calamity, it's a matter of life and death. Even after going through it, we still have lingering fears and can't recover for several years.

This guy is so good, the great tribulation of his soul is just like eating melon seeds, it happens every once in a while, and then every once in a while.

Alas, it is true that if you compare goods, you will throw them away, and if you compare people, you will die. "

"Get out of the way. You are comparing yourself to him. He is a great man from the Divine Sky Sect. Even a sneeze from him can scare you to death.

I don’t know if this gentleman can make it through this time.

If they really managed to cross over, the Shenxiao Sect would then be a sect with two True Masters.

Not to mention the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, it is unrivaled even in the entire Middle Earth."

Under the strange phenomenon of the soul's calamity, all the cultivation forces and monks in the entire Yunnan and Sichuan provinces began to discuss it.

It is no longer a new thing for Dongfang Xiong to overcome tribulations in recent years.

Some old masters even watched all six previous tribulations.

But for many young monks, being able to witness a catastrophe of such a scale is also an experience.

After all, the calamity of the soul will not bring disaster to the common people, and although it may seem mighty and destructive, it will not actually harm others.

Many people even come from far away after hearing the news just to broaden their horizons.

At this time in the Shenxiao Sect.

All the disciples put down what they were doing and looked up in the direction of the Dharma Lecture Cliff.

Even some monks who were in seclusion broke through ahead of schedule.

Because compared to outsiders who are just watching the fun, whether Dongfang Xiong can pass the tribulation successfully or not has almost epoch-making significance for the Shenxiao Sect.

And now there are rumors throughout the entire Shenxiao Sect.

This tribulation will be Dongfang Xiong’s last one.

If you fail, you will die!

The top of the cliff.

On the top of the mountain that rises into the clouds, Dongfang Xiong stands like a pine tree. He is wearing a wide robe that flutters in the howling wind. His face is thin, but it makes his features more angular. His tall and proud figure seems to be able to hold up the entire sky.

Standing quietly, looking at the surging sea of ​​clouds and the raging thunderclouds in the distance, he slowly spread his arms, his eyes firm and deep, revealing an eagerness to take control.

"I have been practicing Taoism for three thousand years. Today, I want to compete with the gods!"
