The years when I explored the fairyland

On the lonely peak.

Under the big willow tree, a table was placed with a spread of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Chu Zhou sat cross-legged, holding a brush in his hand, which was covered with ink. When it was about to fall on the paper, it was suspended in the air, with his eyes full of contemplation.

After a long time, Chu Zhou moved and wrote down six words - cultivation, martial arts, and immortality.

Undoubtedly, he divided his practice into three parts. Cultivation was mainly to improve his own realm and magic power, and to continuously improve the "Heavenly River Upside Down Method".

As the immortal method provided by Langhuanyuan, the power of "Heavenly River Upside Down Method" is beyond doubt. Chu Zhou doesn't even need to think too much, just keep moving forward.

Of course, the method can be worry-free, but the environment for practice can still be improved.

Before, Chu Zhou dug an underwater cave in the Baisha River under the lonely peak to practice with the abundant water power.

It is enough for the stage of drawing in qi and building foundation, but it is a bit stretched for the huge spiritual energy required for the great cultivation of Jindan.

Of course, Chu Zhou now has a better choice, the retreat room.

This place is a place where spiritual energy gathers, especially after the adjustment of the mountain protection formation, it is more abundant.

However, if you practice here, the number of spiritual energy is more, but the dual-system spiritual energy of "water shock" that Chu Zhou needs is not much different from the underwater cave.

And Chu Zhou's method is to adjust the mountain protection formation again and introduce part of the spiritual energy under the lonely peak and into the Baisha River.

In this way, the power of water and the effect of the formation are all used, which is the best of both worlds and can support Chu Zhou's cultivation needs.

However, if this is the case, the underwater cave is a bit unpresentable.

Chu Zhou plans to expand it, and it is best to use the power of the formation to build an underwater practice palace.

However, he had to do this by himself, and at most he could bring four junior brothers with him, and he had to prepare some tools and techniques for underwater work.

Of course, it was fine for him, but the four junior brothers had to learn the technique of breathing underwater, otherwise they couldn't work at all.

Unconsciously, the words under the item of "cultivation" were filled in, all of which were things Chu Zhou could think of and needed to pay attention to.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the item of "martial arts", but after just a little thought, he crossed out martial arts and replaced it with the word "body training".

There is no doubt that the final form of the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple is to become a saint in the flesh, which belongs to the method of body training in the classification of the Jieying Hall.

This is a relatively rare category. Even in the Heavenly Palace, there are very few immortals who take this path.

There is no way. A group of immortals basically move mountains and seas with a raise of their hands, and turn the world upside down when they stop.

They are so strong, but they still have to run up and fight with others?

That's too much to think about!

But Chu Zhou was not ready to give up. On the one hand, he started with martial arts, and he had completed the marrow cleansing and blood exchange once, which was already a success in body refining.

It would be a pity to give up at this time!

On the other hand, he had attended many courses in the Jieying Hall, and he knew clearly that there were not many body refining practitioners in the Heavenly Court, but the few with names were all strong among the immortals.

For this reason, Chu Zhou felt that he could not give up.

Of course, the martial arts path was rugged and the immortal path was vast, and he knew which was more important.

Therefore, body refining was only auxiliary. In the future, he would take one or two hours every day to use the "Tianhe Body Refining Technique" to temper his body.

As for the final immortal path, it was naturally the one that Chu Zhou valued.

His plan was also simple, that is, to continue to work hard in the direction where he had already laid the foundation.

The simplest one was the magic and supernatural power. He invested the most in this, not only time, but also energy, merit points, and courses.

And this time, he was ready to invest more!

The last course "Introduction to Water Magical Powers" was good, but it was too general in general, like an overview of a book. Although it showed the content of the book, it was too broad.

The first advanced course Chu Zhou was going to exchange was "In-depth Study of One Yuan Heavy Water".

It talked about the cultivation, key points, precautions, and methods of improvement of the "One Yuan Heavy Water" magic power, as well as the methods of use and combat.

Chu Zhou relied on just one drop of one yuan heavy water as a trump card. If he really cultivated the magic power and had a hundred drops to protect himself, wouldn't he still be killing people? !

In addition, Chu Zhou also decided on a magic power "Forgetful River Water".

Legend has it that it originated from the river between Huangquan and Hades, and was used to guide the dead souls. It could make people forget all the troubles and painful experiences in their past and present lives in a single thought;

In another thought, it could also turn into a ghostly illusion, with lonely souls everywhere, wild ghosts rampant, snakes and insects everywhere, and horror and fear.

Chu Zhou had been drooling over this magical power for a long time. Compared with the extreme gravity of one-yuan heavy water, this method is even more difficult to defend against!

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for a foundation-building cultivator to bear a magical seed. Now that he has achieved the Golden Core, he should learn something new.

Then there is the sword art. He is going to exchange for the sword magic, "Sword Qi Thunder Sound Art"!

Chu Zhou is not a pure sword cultivator, and he can't put his life on a sword, but the power of the sword magic, the killing, is really beyond imagination, and he is unwilling to give up.

He also used "Guan Ri Sword Art" to force the sword Qi Thunder Sound Art, but he can only say that he has mastered nine out of ten orifices and none of them.

These three courses are not cheap. They are all advanced courses, and each one is as high as one thousand merit points.

In addition, Chu Zhou struggled for a long time and changed to another course, "Detailed Explanation of Arrays".

The content is an extension of "Basics of Arrays". It talks about the types of existing common arrays, how to set up arrays, how to control them, and how to use the power of the arrays to the maximum by taking advantage of the trend of heaven and earth.

To be honest, Chu Zhou actually didn't want to split his energy. The course of a spiritual plant husband was enough for him to study.

But who said that the deeper he went, the more he found that the environment of Xuanzhen Temple forced you to know a little bit of everything.

Moreover, there are so many arts in cultivating immortals, but only the four items of "Danqi Fuzhen" were independent and became the four major auxiliary cultivations, which naturally have their irreplaceable role.

Chu Zhou didn't think he would go far in the field of arrays, but he had to understand this mountain protection array, otherwise, he couldn't even build the underwater palace.

It was night.

In the Jieying Hall,

"This, this, and that, and that, I want these four courses. As for the merit points, you can deduct them as you see fit!"

"Oh my, are you feeling guilty today?

I thought you lost the motivation to move forward after achieving the Golden Elixir. If that's the case, I'll be disappointed!"

The Jieying Immortal still looked like an immortal, but his words were a bit ironic.

"Lost the motivation to move forward?"

Chu Zhou blinked and said in confusion: "I'm just a Golden Elixir. I'm still a long way from becoming an immortal. How can I lose the motivation to move forward?

What's the connection???"

After a pause, he seemed to understand a little and said: "The Immortal has seen many cases of people not making progress?"

"Not everyone can stick to their own heart, and not all immortals have the courage to reach the top. I hope you can make it to the end."

"I hope I can too!"

"Then I'll wait and see. The courses have been exchanged. You have to Which one should I learn first? "

"The magical power of "Forgetful River Water"? I want to see if the netherworld really exists.

Is there really reincarnation after death? "

"Of course there is, but I'm afraid it's not what you think. Reincarnation is both natural and man-made!"

"I don't understand!"

"You will understand after learning! Then, the course begins..."

When the sound of the avenue resounded through the heaven and earth, everything within Chu Zhou's vision changed. Although it was an illusion, he was still brought into the netherworld and saw the world after death.

People have souls after death. Chu Zhou knew this, but what he didn't know was that whether there is a netherworld or not does not hinder reincarnation.

In the knowledge system of the heavenly court, this universe emphasizes a balance and reincarnation.

Therefore, after death, there will be a downgrade phenomenon, from three dimensions to two dimensions, and then to one dimension. In the end, the soul is washed away, leaving only a little true spirit to reincarnate.

From this perspective, the essence of cultivating immortals is to avoid this downgrade phenomenon and strive to complete the dimensional upgrade of oneself.

From three dimensions to four dimensions, and even to five and six dimensions, one can completely break free from the shackles of the long river of time, control life and death, and thus achieve transcendence.

As for the netherworld?

It is actually man-made, a settlement created by the Great Power in the two-dimensional world where souls can reside.

Although most souls will eventually return to nothingness and re-enter reincarnation, some ghost cultivators can seize the opportunity to struggle out a new world in the netherworld.

And the water of the Wangchuan River is a phenomenon flowing in this ‘settlement’, which has a great effect on ghosts.

That is another evolution of the magical power of water. Although Chu Zhou only learned one lesson, it was also eye-opening, and he felt that the world was so vast.

This night passed just like this, but on the second night, Chu Zhou entered the Jieying Hall again.

This time, he did not learn "Wangchuan River Water", but chose the course of "One Yuan Heavy Water".

When achieving the Golden Elixir, what increases is not just the mana, but the transformation of life. Chu Zhou's current soul strength and mental toughness are far beyond the ordinary.

Therefore, he can quickly digest what he has learned from these courses, instead of taking many days to learn a lesson like before.

Chu Zhou doesn't know if he is tough, but his execution is definitely very strong. After the plan is set, he will complete it bit by bit according to the plan, never discounting it, and not willing to be lazy.

He will wake up when the sun rises every day and spend an hour practicing the "Tianhe Body Refining Technique", training his body, strengthening his blood, and keeping himself in the best condition.

Then he will learn the knowledge of the formation before lunch, or take care of his own spiritual field, or deal with some trivial matters, or stroll around to see the progress of the construction of Xuanzhen Temple.

After lunch, he will spend another hour answering questions for Xu Cheng and the other four, and guiding them on their problems in cultivation.

Or he will gather some inner disciples to give them a lesson, explain the key points of cultivation, or the precautions for the use of magic.

After this matter is done, Chu Zhou will return to the retreat room, and use the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense the "one yuan heavy water", or practice the magical power of "Forgetful River Water".

From time to time, he will also fly out with a sword, fly in the depths of the Red Dragon Mountains, and practice sword tactics.

"Guan Ri Sword Tactics" is not very profound, but it is very suitable for the art of sword energy and thunder sound. Chu Zhou can feel that every time he studies and practices, he has made great progress.

Sword energy and thunder sound, the initial speed is naturally faster than the sound, but this is just the beginning, and there are two, three, four, five times, or even faster speeds.

It is really fast to a certain extent, that is the sword art in the world, only speed can not be broken, and the killing power is terrifying.

Chu Zhou also discovered that he had no talent in martial arts swordsmanship, and it was difficult to learn the simplest swordsmanship, but he seemed to have a good talent in immortal sword cultivation, and he did not find it difficult.

Near the evening, Chu Zhou was still used to having dinner with everyone. He did not need it, but this ceremony was indispensable.

Then, he would take advantage of the dark to dig the rock wall under the lonely peak and expand the cave.

This is not an easy job. Although Chu Zhou has an unparalleled physique, can breathe normally underwater, and can control the sword art to cut the rock wall, he is not good at construction!

There is no order in the construction, and it has caused several accidents. He can ignore the damage, but he is also helpless when he sees that the cave he expanded collapsed.

Finally, he still found the Construction Department and produced a blueprint of the underwater palace. With the help of a master craftsman from the Construction Department, it was on the right track.

As long as it is on the right track, this matter will naturally proceed very quickly. After all, he is a Jindan cultivator, and he also leads four foundation-building cultivators to help. It is not difficult to open an underground cave.

After the underwater palace was completed, Chu Zhou had already adjusted the mountain protection formation, combined the power of water and the formation, and created a holy place for cultivation for himself.

Before going to the Jieyin Hall to study, he would breathe here for several hours, complete the daily fixed "Heavenly River Inverted Hanging Method" practice, and then enter the Jieyin Hall for class.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the four courses, he also exchanged for a "Golden Dan Cultivation Essentials".

Unlike the cultivation of the Qi-inducing Realm and the Foundation-building Realm, he felt obscure and shackled in the cultivation of the Jindan Realm, as if some places were not smooth, so that he was very laborious to cultivate.

So, he changed this course in order to find a powerful person to teach him the things he needs to pay attention to in the Jindan Realm cultivation.

It must be said that the effect is remarkable!

Well, to be precise, although the courses in the Jieying Hall seem to be many, each one is full of practical knowledge and never empty.

In addition, he exchanged a copy of "Puppetry Mechanical Chapter" for Qianjike.

When Qianjike got it, he was trembling with excitement, but after opening the content, his eyes were a little dull.

Because, unlike what he imagined, this "Puppetry" is not about making wooden birds, puppet Taoist soldiers, etc., but the whole book is about how to refine various mechanical creations.

From small clocks, fans, rice cookers, washing machines, to large rail cars, drilling cars, excavators, ships, floating iron ships, and even puppet robots up to ten meters high.

Of course, the driving energy is either one's own mana, or a complete formation with spirit stones.

God knows how excited Chu Zhou was to see such a category. Although these are nothing, the fairy world can come up with far more magical things than these, but only this category is open to mortals.

Many of the parts can be made by mortals, and they can also form an alternative immortal industrial system.

Chu Zhou didn't want to replicate the so-called industrial civilization here, but he always felt that they were very familiar!

...

When you are more focused, time seems to turn on the accelerator and pass faster and faster.

Chu Zhou followed his own plan, studying, practicing, accumulating, and growing every day. He felt that he seemed to have entered a period of rapid growth again. He could feel his changes every day, and every day was fulfilling and satisfying.

Of course, bad news would come from time to time!

That was the news about the war from the four major sects. To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence: Dayun Dynasty was retreating step by step, and asked Xuanzhen Temple to take action.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, Dayun Dynasty did not show a decline. The Golden Horde was the strongest, but Sanqingmen was even stronger. With the cooperation of Longcheng Cavalry, they blocked them outside the border.

On the side of Youyan Mansion, although the Wumiao was retreating step by step, it could not resist the arrival of endless reinforcements.

With the intervention of the masters of the Tyrant Sect and the Ancient Temple Sect, the advantage of the Great Yan Dynasty was almost gone. Then, the war situation became more stable and the two sides entered a stalemate stage.

During this period, when Chu Zhou was immersed in training for three months, all the martial artists in the world were excited.

Because the spread of the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple has been going on for a while, and the Tyrant Body form is extremely strong on the battlefield.

Let alone the level of martial arts master, below the master, on the ground battlefield, once the Tyrant Body is opened, you can be the fierce general who charges into battle.

For a time, the Dayun Dynasty even had the intention of counterattacking, and the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple was recognized by the world.

However, such a good momentum was destroyed by the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Xuanyue Sect.

I don’t know how the Xuanyue Sect did it, but it actually instigated the general of the garrison in Longcheng to let the army of the Golden Horde march straight in.

Although there are many masters in the Sanqing Sect, they are powerless in the face of such a battlefield where they are retreating step by step.

When the Golden Horde invaded the inland, they could no longer be stopped.

The Pure World Red Lotus Society mobilized its own traditional abilities, launched an uprising in the rear, organized a group of rebel armies, attacked cities and plundered land everywhere, and caused destruction!

Once the war started, the extra war taxes, corvée labor, and military service forced countless families to die, and also enriched countless gentry and nobles.

When people could not survive, the Red Lotus Society would make a slight move and cause chaos.

At the beginning, everyone was confused, because the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Xuanyue Demon Cult should have suffered a great loss of strength, so how could they still have so many disciples and so many masters?

Later, the Red Lotus Messenger and the Xuanyue Disciple were arrested. At the first trial, it was discovered that this group of people actually came from the Pure World Red Lotus Society and Xuanyue Sect of Dayan.

This is a stone falling, smashing a thousand layers of waves!

Unfortunately, even if the martial arts sects of Dayun Dynasty are angry, they can't solve the situation of chaos inside and outside.

So far, it has been the ninth month of Chu Zhou's immersive practice. When he is getting better, the Dayun Dynasty has shown a decline.

The Wu Temple has completely lost Youyan Mansion and retreated to Danshan Mansion of the Ancient Temple Sect; Sanqing Sect has also lost Yunchen Mansion and is concentrating its forces to fight each other in Shangrao Mansion and the Golden Horde.

As for the Ba Zong, it seems to be hiding in the rear and safe, but the Tianyuan Mansion, which has just stabilized, has the Qihuo Army revived.

Even in Chishui Prefecture, only Tianquan County is stable, and other places are all problems of one kind or another, which have never stopped.

Nine months, or just a few months, the once powerful Dayun Dynasty showed signs of demise.

It was at this time that a man came to the door!

Outside Xuanzhen Temple,

the fog gradually thinned, and the mountain gate could be vaguely seen, with a bronze bell hanging on it.

At some point, a man with a strong body and a domineering and majestic face had already stood here. He flicked his fingers and rang the bronze bell.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the Hongzhong Dalu echoed between heaven and earth. In the clouds and fog, a slightly anxious voice came: "Who is it? Who is it? Didn't I say that Xuanzhen Temple does not accept visits or visitors!"

As he spoke, a young disciple had already walked out of the fog. He was wearing a green robe and a jade belt, had a sturdy physique, and there was sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had just been practicing boxing.

However, when he looked up and saw the person coming, his expression froze.

The visitor was not angry, but just said: "The current Overlord of the Overlord Sect, Xiong Kuohai, has come to ask to see the master of Xuanzhen Temple, Taoist Chu. Please help me pass the message."

"Oh, aha, the Overlord is visiting, I will go and inform him right away, right away!"

Today's update is here, isn't it a lot early?
