Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was very generous to her future successor. Not only did she leave behind the Golden Cloud Crown, a magical treasure for the soul, but she also left behind the Dragon Soldier Talisman. It was obvious that she was certain that she would not be able to come back.

Speaking of which, that [Wordless Heavenly Book Stele] is really so magical.

Even the Fire Spirit Holy Mother is willing to believe in its contents."

Picking up the Yuanyang Golden Crown on the altar, Qi Xiu casually sent a stream of Hunyuan Qi into it. This Yuanshen magic weapon immediately changed from its original appearance of a women's crown to a Taoist crown with a simple, ancient and majestic style.

In order to make it easier for her successor to refine this magical weapon, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit thoughtfully erased all the marks inside it, and even the spirituality of the magic weapon was sealed into dormancy, making it a completely ownerless object.

“Unfortunately, the only thing missing from Holy Mother Fire’s memory is the content of her viewing the Wordless Heavenly Book Monument. It seems that she deliberately concealed it.

The exact location of this [Wordless Heavenly Book Stele] is also unknown."

Putting on the newly acquired Golden Cloud Taoist Crown, Qi Xiu pursed his lips. He was very curious about this inscription that could predict the death of the Yuanshen Demon Ancestor and even made him believe it.

If we can find it, it may be of great help to the human race in surviving this catastrophe.

"But now all the True Lords have entered the Mountain and River Society Map to fight the Demon Ancestors and Demon Lords. I'm afraid we can only tell them this news after the decisive battle is over."

The Ten Thousand Mountains are vast and boundless. In terms of area, they are only slightly smaller than the Middle-earth, but the environment is even more harsh. Trying to find a stone tablet in such a large area when you don't even know what it looks like is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'm afraid only Yuanshen Zhenzun has the means to conduct a carpet search.

After putting away the three sacred objects on the table, Qi Xiu raised the Fire Spirit Pearl.

This gem is not only a treasure passed down by the lineage of the Holy Fire Spirit Mother, but also the key to open the treasury of the Holy Fire Spirit Palace.

With a wave of his hand, he sent hundreds of obscure seals into the gem.

The lotus shadow surrounding it suddenly became extremely solid, with wisps of crimson light shining down. In the center of the lotus pedestal, a door that seemed to be made of red jade slowly opened, and an extremely rich aura of treasure surged out from the gap in the door.

"It is a good fortune for Qi to make a fortune."

With a slight smile, Qi Xiu transformed into a ray of divine light and instantly disappeared into the door of the treasure house.

Once you enter the treasure hall, you will see mountains of all kinds of natural treasures piled up in all directions. There are endless treasure mountains, and the dazzling divine light almost blinds people's eyes.

The true form of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is a wisp of strange fire that has become a spirit.

Therefore, he is involved in the art of refining weapons and medicine, and is even considered a master among demons.

Among the vast amount of materials in the entire treasure house, most are materials for refining weapons and medicine.

However, the Ten Thousand Mountains is a barren and desolate land after all. Although these materials look magical and extraordinary, in fact, most of them are of very ordinary quality and are not rare and magical materials.

It's just that there are more of them, so it looks a bit intimidating at first glance.

"My Hunyuan Sect was founded not long ago, so we don't have any precious materials to use yet. These materials that are neither too high nor too low, neither good nor bad are just right for our use. Not bad, not bad."

In the spirit of "no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat", Qi Xiu waved his sleeves, and the world in his sleeves suddenly moved. The sleeves that covered the sky and the sun emitted a strong suction force, which immediately sucked away the mountains of treasures.

I don't know how much time and effort it took the Fire Mother to collect these materials.

But in less than two hours, Qi Xiu had swept it all away.

Shaking his heavy sleeves, Qi Xiu smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, in the entire treasure house, there were only four triangular copper pots made of ancient bronze with images of ancient gods depicted on the surface.

Glancing at the image of the ancient god on the triangular copper pot, Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhurong?

The fire god of the ancient times. When he was still cultivating, he used the talisman formation to draw in the power of the Dao and opened up the Dao God Talisman Formation. He also summoned a ray of the fire god's power.

But after the incident with Xuanjun, he became wary of the remaining powers of these ancient gods and would not touch them if possible.

I didn't expect to see traces of this ancient god again in the treasure house of the Holy Mother of Fire today.

“Gods are immortal. Xuanjun was suppressed in the sea eye for countless years, but he was still able to escape and revive.

These innate gods who were born before the ancient times are probably even more powerful and strange.

Although they had almost all been killed by the banished immortal.

However, the characteristics of the gods leave them with many opportunities for rebirth and resurrection.

Once the time is right, these ancient gods may be able to return from the past and reappear in the world at any time.

The Fire Spirit Mother is the ancestor of the demon spirits, so it is impossible for her not to understand this principle.

But she was still trying to absorb and use the power of this ancient god.

No wonder the True Lord of my clan said that demons can never achieve great things.

Even if you become a master, you are still stupid!"

Coming in front of the four copper pots, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and started to use the Qi-gazing technique. Amid the surging purple energy, he could immediately see what was contained inside through the surface of the copper pots.

Tinder!

Four types of sacred fire.

"[Zhu Rong En's ingenious fire technique]?"

After closing his eyes and searching for the methods and techniques left by the Holy Mother of Fire, Qi Xiu quickly found the origin of the bronze pot and the source of the fire in the pot.

Zhu Rong En’s ingenious fire technique!

This is a strange magic from outside the domain that the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit accidentally obtained from an ancient temple in a small world outside the domain.

Relying on this strange method, through sacrifice, one can borrow a wisp of the divine power of the god Zhurong, and then summon any kind of fire in the world for oneself.

However, this strange method requires a huge amount of sacrifice and needs a soul-level existence, using one's own blood as a sacrifice in order to be effective.

After obtaining this unique skill, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit only used it four times and never used it again.

This is also clearly mentioned in the inherited memories she left behind.

As the number of sacrifices and spellcasting increased, she could clearly feel that the god Zhurong, who was clearly dead, was giving her clearer and clearer feedback, and she even felt that he was about to return.

Upon noticing something was wrong, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately gave up practicing this strange method, and even sealed up the four divine fires that she had summoned through this method.

But even so, since then, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit would still feel the call of the God Zhurong from time to time.

The most recent time was when she saw the [Wordless Heavenly Book Inscription] before she went to Middle-earth.

“Could it be that… the fall of this Yuanshen Demon Ancestor is related to this ancient god?”

Qi Xiu slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed a finger at a copper pot. In an instant, dense golden talismans quickly spread out, covering the entire copper pot.

at the same time.

The carvings of Zhurong on the surface of the copper pot seemed to come alive, and a pair of lifeless eyes suddenly turned and looked at Qi Xiu! "Who... dares to ruin this god's plan..."

Listening to the deafening whispers in his ears, Qi Xiu suddenly felt an indescribable anger bursting out of his body. His skin turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire body was being forcibly transformed into another existence by a magical force.

“No wonder the Holy Mother of Fire Spirits wants to seal up all these strange fires that were attracted by the fire-summoning technique.

I think this so-called method of summoning fire is actually summoning part of your origin.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit fell into your trap, but found that she could not destroy the source of the fire, so she could only seal you up.

This copper pot should not have those patterns originally, but your essence has been eroding the pot body, which has caused the patterns that resemble your appearance to appear. "

His eyes sparkled as he sensed the strangeness of the fire in the copper pot. Qi Xiu immediately realized the danger.

These ancient innate gods are indeed weird!

He had clearly been killed by the banished immortal, but he was able to make a comeback with the tiny trace left behind, attempting to be resurrected.

Fortunately, the one who got the scroll of fire-summoning method was the Holy Mother of Fire. She herself was a spirit of strange fire, so she was extremely sensitive to the way of fire and keenly perceived the trick of the god Zhurong.

If you transform into other souls and obtain this method.

Without knowing it, he summoned the strange fire again and again, which was actually resurrecting the god Zhurong.

When the origin is sufficient, this ancient innate god will probably seize the body of the spellcasting Yuanshen Zhenzun and be resurrected!

"You are just an ant...even if you know...what can you do?"

Zhurong's voice was indifferent and arrogant. Even the Fire Spirit Mother could not destroy his origin, so she could only seal him in the copper pot.

What else can this little Taoist master do?

"How about it? Then Qi will let you see what I can do."

With a light chuckle, Qi Xiu waved his sleeves and rolled up the four copper pots. Then he took a big step forward, with colorful auras all around him, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the Hunyuan Palace.

As soon as they entered the Hunyuan Palace, four copper pots began to shake violently.

An ancient, fiery breath, with strong traces of time, suddenly burst out.

In a trance, a figure with a human face and a beast's body, with fire scales all over its body, two fire snakes piercing its ears, wearing an ancient apron, divine fire surging all over its body, and an ancient ancestral script faintly visible between its eyebrows slowly emerged. It was standing on a red dragon.

God Zhurong!

Compared to the phantom that Qi Xiu had evolved with the Dao God Talisman Array before, the Zhurong God, who was transformed from the origin of the God of Fire summoned by the Holy Mother of Fire with the sacrifice of Dao blood, was more solid and clear.

Even at the moment it appeared, the entire Hunyuan Palace showed signs of melting.

"【Hunyuan】?"

The rumbling sound of heaven echoed endlessly, and a pair of eyes like the sun fell on Qi Xiu. The scorching and overbearing gaze seemed to burn him to death!

"Your lineage has not died out yet?"

Zhu Rong's slightly sarcastic words made Qi Xiu raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he said:

"It's not bad. At least I live longer than you gods."

"You ants don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Today, I will fuse your Primordial Being and take your essence to help me be reborn!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhurong God's pair of huge hands had already grabbed Qi Xiu. The overwhelming and boundless pressure seemed to be real, nailing him to the spot. He could only watch helplessly as the huge hands crushed him.

"Living Hun Yuan, very nutritious, very nutritious."

With a light laugh, God Zhurong seemed to have seen the scene of Qi Xiu being captured in his palm.

boom!

But it suddenly rose up with a loud bang.

The expression of God Zhurong paused for a moment, he frowned and looked down, only to see a tall and majestic figure with overwhelming power who had torn open the four copper pots without him noticing, took out the essence inside, and held it in his palm.

The moment his eyes fell upon this figure, God Zhurong felt an indescribable pain rising in his heart.

"You are... the ancient saint of human martial arts?!"

Facing Zhurong God's horrified questions, the Great Sage's remains did not speak, or rather, he had lost his spiritual consciousness. With only a physical body, he had long lost the ability to answer questions.

Ignoring the God Zhurong, after the Great Sage's remains took away the four clusters of origin, his two hands began to slowly close together. The Zhurong origin, which even the Fire Spirit Mother, the primordial demon ancestor, could not destroy, began to burst out with earth-shaking power under the extremely violent squeezing. Wisps of flames were like thunder, as if to pierce through the heaven and earth.

But even with such terrifying power, facing the pair of flesh hands left by the Great Sage, it was unable to break free even a little bit.

It can only gradually disappear as his hands gradually close together.

The extinction of the origin also caused the majestic figure of God Zhurong to begin to collapse rapidly, and the opportunity for resurrection that he had waited for so hard was gradually disappearing.

"Wait... I have ninety-nine sacred fire techniques. If you stop, I can give them all to you!"

Not wanting to see the chance of resurrection that he had waited so hard for disappear, God Zhurong quickly offered a price.

"Since you know that I am this generation's [Hunyuan], how attractive do you think your Fire Dao Sacred Method will be to me?"

Qi Xiu's words silenced the God Zhurong.

The Hunyuan lineage controls all the ways and masters all the laws. As long as it becomes the master, all the ways of heaven and earth will spontaneously move closer to it, and it will be able to master all kinds of sacred laws without the need for comprehend.

His sacred fire method is very attractive to other people in the Yuanshen realm.

But for Qi Xiu, it is not that attractive.

After the bribe failed, Zhurong God said no more. He just watched silently as his origin was crushed and destroyed by the Great Sage's remains. His figure also became illusory, like a puff of smoke that could dissipate at any time.

However, just when the figure of God Zhurong was about to disappear completely, Qi Xiu raised his hand and left him the last bit of origin.

"I am not interested in your Fire Dao Sacred Method, but if you are willing to agree to my other conditions, I can not only preserve your essence, but even help you revive."

Qi Xiu's words revived the Zhurong God who had been silently waiting to disappear.

"What are the conditions? Tell me."

He waved to the God Zhurong. After a moment of hesitation, this ancient innate god slowly lowered his huge and majestic body and put his ear close to Qi Xiu.

"Just listen..."

After whispering in Zhurong's ear, the expression of this ancient innate god changed again and again in a short period of time, and finally he looked at the young Taoist in front of him with a smile on his face with suspicion.

"Are you serious?"

“There is an old saying among our race: A gentleman’s word is as good as gold.

If you don't believe me, I can swear on my heart." Qi Xiu smiled calmly.

Seeing Qi Xiu so confident, Zhurong God slowly stood up, and a rare hint of hesitation and wavering appeared in his eyes that contained the ancient years.
