Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Please forgive me, sir. It's because those human masters are chasing us too closely. We have no choice but to fight back with all our strength. Otherwise, we won't be able to bring back the sacred object."

Feeling the tangible murderous intent in the void, the demon ancestors and demon lords hurriedly opened their mouths to explain, and the demon ancestor who had just started to flatter was so nervous that he was sweating coldly and didn't dare to raise his head again.

The aloof man stared indifferently at the demons lying in front of him for a long while before he withdrew his gaze. The murderous aura that had caused the entire world to change color also dissipated.

"This is the first and last time.

If you do it again, you will definitely have a place in the Iron Wall Mountain."

"I understand, I understand. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir." Wiping the sweat from their foreheads, the demon ancestors and demon lords nodded repeatedly.

"roll!"

With a light shout, the demon ancestors and devil lords who dared not stay any longer stood up, saluted, and left in a hurry. In a flash, the man was the only one left in the bamboo forest.

Looking down at the nine pieces of sword blade neatly laid out on the ground, a hint of nostalgia flashed in the man's indifferent and cold eyes.

"We finally meet again."

With a flick of his sleeve, the original brilliance on the ground disappeared, and the nine fragments that seemed like ordinary objects suddenly clanged, and wisps of dazzling light seeped out from them.

slam-la-

In an instant, the nine fragments seemed to feel some kind of call, flew into the air, and flew up and down, left and right around the man.

"Ho ho ho."

Looking at the fragments around him, the man chuckled.

If the demon ancestors and devil lords saw this scene, they would probably be so scared that most of their souls would fly away.

Because ever since they got to know this supreme master, they have smiled at him.

"Come."

After a chuckle, the man spread out his palms, and the nine pieces suddenly reassembled themselves, fitting perfectly together. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a simple, unadorned, three-foot-long green sword with a cool edge.

Slowly holding the three-foot sword, the man's eyes were far-reaching, as if he could see everything. He raised the sword slowly to the sky, as if challenging a certain existence to fight, and whispered softly:

"I have everything now...

……

"Counterattack Shiwan Dashan? When?"

In Kungu Mountains, inside the mountain gate of Hunyuan Sect.

Qi Xiu was a little surprised when he heard what Dongfang Qing said, and thought to himself, is it because of the appearance of the Nine Provinces’ divine objects before?

“Well, this time the Ten Thousand Mountains has touched the bottom line of the Dao Alliance. The Dao Alliance can tolerate the divine objects being taken away, but this time a human true master fell into the hands of the demon.

During this critical period of the catastrophe, if the Dao Alliance does not retaliate in kind, the Ten Thousand Mountains will only go even further.

Therefore, the Taoist Alliance has decided to organize manpower and counterattack the Shiwan Mountains.

The demons must be made to pay with blood!"

Dongfang Qing peeled a handful of peanuts and stuffed the kernels into his mouth while looking at Qi Xiu who had already written thousands of pages of the essentials of the scriptures.

Dongfang Qing picked up a copy of the sutra and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows:

"The Dao Body Chapter?"

“Well, you also know Xiahou’s situation. When he joined my sect, he lost all the cultivation he had practiced for sixty years.

Now he has to start all over again and must cultivate to the Dao Body realm within nineteen years.

The previous "Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing" was just a rough draft, which could only allow him to practice to the peak of the Bloodstained Realm.

So I can only compile the contents of the Dao Body Chapter as soon as possible to avoid delaying his progress in realm." Putting down the ink pen in his hand, Qi Xiu gently rubbed his brows.

For a cultivator, creating one's own complete volume of scriptures is an extremely huge undertaking.

Often it may take the joint efforts of several generations to perfect and compile a qualified volume of true scriptures.

Fortunately, he had been practicing all the way, and the content of the Dao of Hunyuan was almost entirely created by him by integrating the various Taoist traditions and methods, taking the essence and eliminating the dross, and mixing them together.

Only then was he able to quickly compile the first draft of "Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing" after coming up with the idea of ​​establishing his own school.

But the contents of entering the Dao and the Bloodstained Realm are still a bit shallow.

The Dao Body Realm has already touched upon the essence of the Dao, and its complete content is a thousand times more complicated than the Dao Entering Realm and the Bloodstained Realm combined.

Qi Xiu spent many days in Hunyuan Palace, entering the state of "uniting the body with the Tao", and was able to gradually deduce and sort out the essence of the Dao Body chapter of "Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing".

However, even he felt very tired due to such excessive mental and physical exertion, and sometimes he would doze off without noticing.

This is the mental fatigue and exhaustion caused by excessive mental exertion.

Fortunately, after working hard day and night for this period of time, he has sorted out 80% to 90% of the content of the Dao Body chapter of the "Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing", and he can use it for practice after some further sorting.

"That child is indeed a good material, born with Dao patterns, an extraordinary physique, and a tough personality.

If he hadn't insisted on joining you, I wouldn't have been willing to give him to you." Speaking of Xiahou Shan, Dongfang Qing also had a good impression of him.

He was able to reach the fifth level of Bloodstained Realm in just sixty years, a speed that was even faster than Qi Xiu's initial achievement.

But this natural pattern is both a blessing and a curse.

If one can successfully break through the Dao Body Realm, it is equivalent to locking in the position of Yuanshen Zhenzun in advance.

But if not, even Yuanshen Zhenzun has no way to save him.

However, judging from the current situation, Xiahou Shan will most likely be able to overcome this difficulty.

He has a high degree of compatibility with the Dao of Hunyuan, and with the personal guidance of Qi Xiu in his practice, in less than a few years, he has recovered a lot of his lost cultivation. He is about to be promoted to the peak of the Dao and prepare to overcome the tribulation and reach the Bloodstained Realm.

"I have to thank the master for letting me go with great reluctance." Qi Xiu said with a smile.

"You are a man of conscience. Seriously, this time the Taoist Alliance is raising an army to attack the Shiwan Dashan. Do you want to join in the fun?" Dongfang Qing asked casually, squeezing out two peanut kernels and throwing them into his mouth.

"I?"

After thinking for a while, Qi Xiu slowly shook his head:

"No, I still can't. There are many things to do in the sect right now, and the essence of the Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing has not been completed. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to join in the fun."

These words were not Qi Xiu's excuse for shirking responsibility, but his true feelings.

After the founding of Hunyuan Sect, all kinds of things came like a surging river, continuously, such as the formulation of various systems within the sect, the procurement of practice materials, the delineation of the sect's organizational framework, and the food and clothing of the one hundred founding disciples, etc.

Compared to his previous position as deputy headmaster in the Shenxiao Sect, as long as he approved the list of matters submitted by his subordinates, someone would naturally handle them.

There are only two free people in the Hunyuan Sect now, Qi Xiu and Bai Qingfeng, and almost all the burdens fall on them.

Qi Xiu himself was fine, as he had to spend most of his time organizing and compiling the essentials of the "Hunyuan Wanshi Zhenjing", and all the miscellaneous matters were left to Bai Qingfeng to handle.

Faced with a mountain of complicated affairs, Bai Qingfeng, whose cultivation was almost reaching the peak of the Bloodstained Realm, was forced to develop two dark circles under his eyes.

If he abandoned the sect and went to join the fun in the Shiwan Mountains at this time, Qi Xiu was really afraid that Bai Qingfeng would collapse on the spot after hearing the news. "When you are smart, you are smarter than anyone else, but why can't you turn around this time?

It's a good thing to do things yourself.

But as the head of a sect, if you have to do everything yourself, then this sect will soon be on the verge of decline."

Smiling and shaking his head, Dongfang Qing, who was also the Supreme Master, began to teach Qi Xiu the tricks of being a Master:

“In a sense, the sect is a large ship on the vast ocean.

As the supreme leader, the most important thing for you is to control the direction, rather than rowing the boat or lowering the mast yourself.

You have to learn to hand over these messy things to your crew members.

Otherwise, you will be bogged down in these trivial matters every day, and after a long time, you won’t even know where the ship is heading.”

"But my Hunyuan Sect has just been established. Apart from those children, there are only Bai Qingfeng, Xiahou and I..."

"Why don't you look for some old sailors first?"

"Old sailor..."

Dongfang Qing's words made Qi Xiu suddenly realize, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Yes.

It takes time to cultivate oneself, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. In this case, why don’t I find some ready-made talents to use first, and then replace them when the trained disciples are mature.

A word awakens a dreamer. Looking at Qi Xiu who just woke up from his dream, Dongfang Qing simply said:

"You have the wealthy Shen Wansan behind you, so you can ask him for help in finding manpower.

Shen's Wanhuo Store is spread all over the Middle Earth, and knows a lot of intelligence information. It won't go wrong if we leave it to him."

"Okay, I'll write a letter right away and ask Senior Shen to find some help for me." Qi Xiu thought Dongfang Qing's suggestion was right.

After he sent Feishu away, he turned around and saw that Dongfang Qing's smile was even wider.

"This time, you have time to go with me to the Shiwandashan Mountains to join in the fun."

"Huh?" Qi Xiu didn't expect that Dongfang Qing's ultimate goal was here. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So the source of your advice to me is here."

"Look, I mean this with good intentions.

This time, the Taoist Alliance raised an army to attack the Shiwan Mountains, which was different from the previous small-scale fights.

This time, the Taoist Alliance was determined to stabilize the country before resisting foreign aggression, and to eliminate the unstable factor of the Ten Thousand Mountains in one fell swoop so as to fully deal with the subsequent invasion of foreign races from the heavens.

Otherwise, if we allow the hidden danger of the Shiwan Mountains to remain right beside our bed, even bigger troubles will inevitably arise in the future.

Nowadays, the supernatural powers of humanity are becoming more and more intense, and even we, the true spirits, can sense them.

You can go with me this time and kill more demon kings and devil lords in the Dao Body Realm, which can also help you accumulate some foundation for your future breakthrough of the Yuan Shen realm." Dongfang Qing said.

"According to what you said, this time the Taoist Alliance is going to fight a decisive battle with the Shiwan Dashan people, right?" Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

“You could say that, although it’s not explicitly stated, judging by the forces currently mobilized by the Dao Alliance, they should be trying to completely eradicate the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It is said that some living fossils that were in seclusion were awakened by the Twelve Attendants.

Some of them can be traced back to the recent ancient times!" Dongfang Qing said mysteriously, thinking of the rumors he had heard before.

"Recent ancient times? That was more than 30,000 years ago. How did these living fossils survive?" Qi Xiu asked in amazement.

"Self-sealing method! A method that can prolong life, but will cause the loss of all external perception and even thinking ability.

Some human beings who feel they are unable to survive the great catastrophe of the soul will use this method to seal themselves up and turn themselves into a stone-like dying state.

Wait until the right opportunity to unblock it.

However, this kind of True Lords are very rare, because the True Lords who can achieve the Great Way of the Primordial Spirit are all proud.

As someone standing at the top of the avenue, we cannot allow them to linger in this way." Dongfang Qing explained.

"Those seniors in the Dao League who are in seclusion..."

"They all voluntarily gave up the pride of being the True Spirits and sealed themselves off in deep sleep, only to be unsealed and come out into the world when necessary to serve as a trump card for the Taoist Alliance." Dongfang Qing showed some respect when talking about these living fossils in seclusion.

Although the self-sealing method can allow the true soul to avoid the coming of disaster.

But the feeling of being in endless nothingness is definitely not pleasant.

In order to increase the strength of the Dao League, these Dao League predecessors resolutely placed their own future and will on the Dao League.

Therefore, these old predecessors who have endured endless torture of loneliness deserve the respect of every human being.

"Even these ancient heritages have been activated. It seems that the Taoist Alliance is really determined to flatten the Shi Wan Da Shan." Hearing what Dongfang Qing said, Qi Xiu also felt the Taoist Alliance's determination to completely destroy the Shi Wan Da Shan.

"In that case, I'll take this trip as well. After all, if I don't go this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the so-called Hundred Thousand Mountains in the future."

This unprecedented event made Qi Xiu feel curious.

Everyone is curious. This is the most basic and primitive thought, and even the Yuanshen Zhenzun cannot restrain it.

This time, the Demon Lord sneaked into the Middle-earth Realm, seized the sacred objects, and attacked and killed the True Lord, which completely angered the Taoist Alliance, the behemoth of the human race, and then triggered the Taoist Alliance to launch the most thorough crackdown on it.

This is a tough battle, but also an opportunity.

Just as Dongfang Qing said just now, the miraculous power of humanity is now becoming more and more intense, and even they, the true spirits, can feel the blessing of the power of humanity.

The destruction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains will be the most grand battle between humans and demons.

If he could obtain enough magical blessings and feedback from humanity in this battle, it would definitely be of great benefit to him in his future journey towards the path of the soul.

"Well, this is the Dao League's challenge letter. When the day of departure comes, this challenge letter will lead you to the gathering place, and you will go there with them."

Dongfang Qing took out two jade tablets from his arms, which were as black as ink but as emerald green as jade when illuminated by the sun, and handed them to Qi Xiu.

After receiving the two challenge letters, Qi Xiu took a closer look and his expression suddenly became strange.

On one of them, it was written: Written personally by the True Lord of Hunyuan Wanfa!

And on the other one it was clearly written: Personally written by True Lord Xuanhuang!

Qi Xiu looked suspiciously at Dongfang Qing who was smiling in front of him, and squinted his eyes and said:

"You accepted this challenge so readily, I'm afraid you signed me up a long time ago, and then came to persuade me to go.

And what are the circumstances of these two letters of challenge?"

"Since you have decided to go, when I help your Hunyuan Sect to gain benefits, I must also bring your old employer, the Shenxiao Sect, along. I'm just preparing for a rainy day." Dongfang Qing smiled with a cunning look in his eyes.

Hearing Dongfang Qing say this, Qi Xiu smiled helplessly and patted his forehead.

I forgot that the headmaster is a well-known old fox.

It seems that I will have to do some hard labor for him this time.
