Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Enlightenment."

After returning the Phoenix Feather in his hand to Qi Xiu, Xu Zhitian uttered a word that surprised Qi Xiu.

"Enlightenment?"

There was a hint of surprise in Qi Xiu's eyes, but then he thought about it and it made sense.

This Phoenix Feather is the inheritance of the Phoenix Emperor. The miraculous rebirth from the fire is just the effect of this divine object itself.

If it is something that is passed down, then it should have the effect of inheriting the Tao.

"However, I don't know exactly how to use this item to gain enlightenment. I just heard that young friend mention it once."

"Young friend? Is that the immortal?" Qi Xiu's expression changed slightly.

"Well, this guy has tremendous fighting power, extraordinary talent, and terrifyingly profound knowledge. He knows a lot of ancient and modern anecdotes.

He even knows many ancient secrets better than I do." Speaking of Li Zexian, Xu Zhitian was also amazed.

It seemed that no matter what strange things happened to him, it was not strange.

“In that case, this item must be treasured. Only after finding a way to attain enlightenment can it be put to good use.” Qi Xiu pursed his lips as he flipped over the phoenix feather in his hand.

Before knowing the characteristics of this divine object, he just regarded it as a [Resurrection Coin].

But now that I know it can also help with enlightenment, I naturally can no longer use it casually.

After all, this is the inheritance of the Phoenix clan. If you think about it, it is even more rare than the true dragon inheritance in his hands.

Things are more valuable when they are rare.

Just as Qi Xiu and Xu Zhitian were chatting about where else they could find the way to open the Phoenix Feather Enlightenment Method, a ray of rainbow light suddenly came rushing in from afar, instantly piercing through the numerous prohibitions of the Shenxiao Sect, bypassing the interception of several elders of the Yun generation, and headed straight for the sect's main hall.

"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into my Shenxiao Sect!"

"Set up the formation! Set up the formation! Stop this beast!"

The angry shouts of the elders of the Yun generation shook the whole area, but the rainbow light ignored them and arrived in front of the sect's main hall in the blink of an eye.

But just when he was about to break through the palace door and enter.

clang--

A dull and heavy impact sound was accompanied by ripples, and a precious mirror as clear as colored glass, with patterns of ancient roads, mountains, birds, fish, insects, sun, moon and stars floating on its surface, slowly emerged.

"Wanli Shenxing Sect? You trespassed into our important territory without saying a word. Are you going to start a war with my Shenxiao Sect?"

On the steps of the main hall, Qi Xiu put his hands together in his sleeves and walked out slowly, looking down at the figure that was nailed to the spot by the light of the Haotian Mirror and whose true form was gradually revealed.

"Senior, please calm down... This is a secret letter from the Dao Alliance... Please... Open it in person, True Lord Jiuxiao."

The monk from the Wanli Shenxing Sect, who was thin, wearing a long scarf on his head and with his legs covered with mysterious divine armor and horse, raised his right hand with difficulty and spoke hurriedly.

"A secret letter from the Dao League?"

With his brows slightly raised, Qi Xiu did not let the man go just because of his words. He stretched out his hand, and a series of [Suppressing Talismans] appeared out of thin air, wrapping the man tightly from head to toe in an instant. The extremely domineering suppressing force completely pressed him into a motionless stone.

At this time, the elder of the Yun generation, who had just tried to intercept but failed, also chased after him.

"Deputy Headmaster."

Seeing that Qi Xiu had captured this man, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief. If this man had really broken into the sect master's hall unhindered, it would have been a huge loss for the people of the Shenxiao Sect.

"He trespassed into our sect's mountain gate without permission. No matter what his reasons are, I will seal his ancestral orifice and pierce his spine first." Taoist Yun Heng, who was in charge of the criminal court and was in charge of the security of the sect, had a gloomy expression and was about to destroy this cultivator from the Wanli Shenxing Sect.

Just as Qi Xiu was thinking about how to deal with this person, Dongfang Qing's voice came from the sect master's hall behind him.

"Bring him in. He has a Dao League Token on him. Something important must have happened."

Hearing Dongfang Qing say this, Qi Xiu nodded slowly, then waved his sleeves and took the monk from the Wanli Shenxing Sect who had wrapped the talisman like a rice dumpling into his palm.

"You guys go back first."

After sending away the elders of the Yun generation who had come rushing over, Qi Xiu pushed the door and entered the hall.

Looking at the Taoist messenger who was wrapped like a dumpling in the cloud seal talisman, Dongfang Qing laughed twice and then signaled Qi Xiu to untie him.

"These people were selected by the Dao Alliance from the Wanli Shenxing Sect. They are specially used to deliver the Dao Alliance's Dharma messages. They are wearing Shenxing armor and horses blessed by the Dao Alliance. As long as they are from a sect under the command of a Dao Alliance member, no matter what kind of forbidden magic they have, they will not be able to stop them.

This is also to prevent the legal letter from being delivered to the recipient in time in the event of an emergency.

Even though they are just messengers, they are responsible for the affairs of the Taoist Alliance and represent the face of the Taoist Alliance, so these people are usually spoiled.

The ordinary powerful families of ancient religions could not stop them, nor did they dare to stop them.

But today I fell into your hands."

"No wonder, it turns out we are carrying out an imperial errand." After hearing Dongfang Qing's explanation, Qi Xiu's eyes revealed understanding. With a wave of his hand, the talisman on the Taoist League messenger slowly dissipated.

The suppression disappeared, and the messenger gasped for breath. The feeling of his cultivation, soul, body, and even consciousness being suppressed made him feel like a skinned lamb, helpless to be slaughtered.

When he was released at this moment, the messenger saw the young Taoist in blue shirt who had just attacked standing next to him. His face suddenly turned pale and he quickly distanced himself.

It was not until he saw Dongfang Qing in front of him that he calmed down and took out a jade disk from his arms.

"Zhenzun Jiuxiao, this is a secret letter sent by Zun Jian himself. Please open it yourself."

"Thank you for the letter."

After taking the jade disk, Dongfang Qing was about to open it, but he saw the messenger in front of him opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked at Qi Xiu who was standing beside him with fear.

"Does the courier have anything else to say?"

"Uh, this is a secret letter from the Taoist Alliance. Only the Taoist Alliance's true masters are allowed to read it." The messenger whispered, forcing a smile on his lips.

"Oh, oh, I understand."

Dongfang Qing responded, put away the jade disk, and said to Qi Xiudao:

"The messenger has traveled thousands of miles by boat. Qi Xiu, take the messenger down and give him a good reception."

However, before Dongfang Qing finished speaking, and before Qi Xiu could open his mouth to agree, the messenger stood up suddenly:

"No need, no need. The message has been delivered. I will return to the Dao League immediately to report. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Dongfang Qing and Qi Xiu to react, he turned into a ray of rainbow light and rushed out of the hall and disappeared.

"It seems that this messenger will be more restrained in his behavior in the future." Looking at the messenger who ran away, Dongfang Qing chuckled, then took out the jade disk again, and a wisp of aura sank into it.

The jade disk suddenly glowed brightly, and streams of light surged out from it, condensing into eight large characters in the void:

Heaven binds itself!

Countless kalpas have begun!

Seeing the contents of the Dharma letter emerging from the jade disk, Dongfang Qing suddenly stood up, his eyes shining with brilliance, his aura sweeping across the sect master's hall, suddenly causing a storm.

"Master, this is..." Although Qi Xiu vaguely guessed the meaning of this Dharma letter, he still hesitated and looked at Dongfang Qing beside him.

"Someone pushed the heaven's will and caused the infinite calamity to begin ahead of time."

Restraining his out-of-control energy, Dongfang Qing sat back in his original position, but his frown became even more solemn.

"Master, what exactly is this infinite calamity?"

Seeing Dongfang Qing's solemn expression, Qi Xiu pursed his lips and asked softly. He had heard of the reputation of the Infinite Tribulation many times over the years.

However, whether it was the fat Taoist Qingya or the warning from the humanity and virtue, they only vaguely mentioned the danger of this disaster.

But he never said what this disaster was.

Now at this moment, the Taoist Alliance specially sent a message of Dharma, indicating that the infinite calamity has begun, and he also expressed the doubts in his heart.

Hearing Qi Xiu's question, Dongfang Qing took a deep breath and said slowly:

“The number of immeasurable calamities is the greatest calamity in the world.

In this world, all living things, all events and all emotions are intertwined with each other, forming various causes and effects. As all these things continue to accumulate, the burden on the world becomes heavier and heavier.

And these countless calamities are a thorough baptism of heaven and earth upon itself, upon all things, and upon the heavens.

After this baptism, heaven and earth will return to balance.

In addition, the beginning of the kalpa will have a special purpose."

"What's the purpose?" Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly.

"Choose a new protagonist of the universe!"

"The protagonist of heaven and earth?" Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu's heart suddenly felt a little throbbing, as if he sensed something in the dark.

But this feeling came suddenly and went away quickly. Just when he wanted to feel it carefully, he could no longer feel it.

“Well, in addition to restarting the world, the Infinite Calamity will also select a new protagonist of the world. You also know that the protagonist of the world before the ancient times was not our human race.

But it is the long-lost true dragon clan.

But since the ancient catastrophe, the true dragon clan has disappeared. In that catastrophe, our human race took the lead and became the new protagonist of heaven and earth.

This time the catastrophe has re-emerged, which means that the new battle for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth is about to begin."

Dongfang Qing glanced at Qi Xiu when he said this, and seeing the confusion in his eyes, he knew that Qi Xiu did not understand the significance of being the protagonist of the world.

“The position of the protagonist of heaven and earth has infinite uses.

First of all, only the protagonist of heaven and earth can sit in this Tianyuan world and take the essence of heaven and earth at will for his own practice.

You have never been outside the realm, so you don't know how barren and desolate the heavens and myriad realms are.

The amount of vital energy that a Taoist monk absorbs and exhales in a day may be more than what a world of infinite sand produces in ten years.

Moreover, the vital energy outside the domain is complex and chaotic.

In some small worlds, eighty to ninety percent of the vital energy is waste gas.

Practicing cultivation is difficult and slow. A hundred years of practice is not as effective as a month of practice for the cultivators in our world.

Do you know how many creatures outside the realm call me Tianyuan Realm?"

Qi Xiu shook his head and said, "Disciple, I don't know."

"Fairy World!"

Dongfang Qing looked at Qi Xiu, who was stunned, and smiled as he mentioned this name that was unknown to the people of Tianyuan Realm but widely known outside the realm.

"Now you know why those evil gods from outside the domain are flocking to our Tianyuan Realm and trying every possible way to sneak into our realm.

Compared to the outside world, our Tianyuan world is the supreme holy land and the residence of immortals and gods.

In addition to this, being the protagonist of heaven and earth has another benefit.

That is the race of the protagonist of heaven and earth. The Dao of heaven and earth is naturally friendly and is the most suitable form for cultivation.

Why is it that those demons, monsters, and alien creatures from other realms all want to transform into humans after they have achieved enlightenment through practice?

Because the human form is the most suitable state for practice.

Qi Xiu, you have also seen many evil gods from outside the domain. What do you think of the cultivation methods of beings who are also at the Yuan Shen realm?"

Hearing Dongfang Qing's question, Qi Xiu pondered for a moment and then said:

“Although they are both at the level of Yuan Shen, their cultivation methods are far inferior to those of our True Lord.”

Qi Xiu was not praising the True Lord of the human race, but this was the fact. Compared with the True Lord of the Yuanshen who had attained enlightenment through practicing the Dharma and was omnipotent, the evil gods from outside the domain had reached the Yuanshen level in terms of power.

But both in terms of means and cultivation, they are far inferior to the true masters of the human race.

This can be seen from the fact that it took the fifteen Night Wandering Gods joining forces to surround and kill Dongfang Qing.

When facing the evil gods from outside the domain, the human true masters of the same level can basically crush them.

“In the outer worlds, the great Dao is scattered and it is hard to understand if one wants to attain enlightenment and practice.

In my Tianyuan world, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred great ways contend.

How can the Yuan Shen realm created in this way be compared with the same one?"

"So, Master, what you mean by the so-called infinite calamities is that all the heavens outside the domain will come to conquer our Tianyuan world and our Tianyuan human race?

But there is the will of heaven to suppress it, even if it is an evil god from outside the domain..."

When Qi Xiu was halfway through his words, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he remembered the eight words in the Taoist Alliance's letter.

"The Way of Heaven...binds itself...could it be possible..."

"Yes."

Seeing that Qi Xiu had guessed it, Dongfang Qing nodded slowly:

“After the beginning of the immeasurable catastrophe, the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Tianyuan world will bind itself and disappear, and this most solid and strong barrier will no longer exist.

Without the suppression of the will of heaven, all the alien races from outside the realm can step into our Tianyuan world at any time to snatch this holy land of the immortal world that they have been dreaming of and coveting for a long time! "

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Qi Xiu was still stunned when he heard the horror of the infinite calamity. After a long silence, he spoke slowly:

"Then... can you stop it?"

"block?"

He raised his head slightly, a hint of helplessness appeared in the corners of his eyes, and Dongfang Qing sighed:

“The heavens are besieging, the races are conquering, except for the True Dragon Clan back then, who dares to say that they can stop it.

Fortunately, the infinite calamity has just begun.

The disappearance of the will of heaven does not happen suddenly, but will gradually weaken.

We still have some time.”

After saying this, Dongfang Qing's gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier of the sect master's hall and look into the unknown void.

A tall and burly middle-aged man with a dignified face was sitting cross-legged in the chaos in an unknown place. All around him, the void was surging, and the earth, water, wind and fire were all present.

The four forces at the beginning of heaven and earth enveloped the man like an iron furnace, constantly tempering and burning his body.

This process is extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful even a little bit, your body will be destroyed and your soul will be scattered.

This person was Dongfang Xiong who was undergoing a tribulation.

After he bravely overcame the thunder tribulation and the mental tribulation, he was stopped again by the physical tribulation that he had tried to overcome six times without success.

However, this time Dongfang Qing was not there to protect him.

If he fails, the earth, water, wind and fire in Dongfang Xiong's body will tear him into pieces in an instant, and he will die.

Just as Dongfang Qing was watching whether his brother could survive this tribulation.

Dongfang Xiong, with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly let out a muffled groan. Along with this sound, a chaotic and restless energy suddenly erupted from his body.
