Chapter 349: Demonic Flame Cult
"You can't escape..."
Xiao Chen's voice was so low that it was a little scary. As soon as he finished speaking, he chased towards the sky where Xuan Yunzi had fled like a gust of wind.
Xuan Yunzi couldn't escape. Just like the life-and-death talisman, he had injured Xiao Chen with his soul before, leaving a soul mark. As long as this soul mark was not destroyed, Xiao Chen could sense it wherever he fled.
In the valley here, everyone was still like in a dream, staring blankly at the sky where Xiao Chen had left, staring blankly at the corpses on the ground.
The two messengers of the state religion who were in the state of harmony had already been frightened to the point of sweating coldly on their backs. Just now, they saw Xue Yanzi and Guishen die tragically. At that moment, it seemed as if their own lives were also hanging in someone's hands.
Originally, if one's cultivation reached the realm of Lianxu Hedao, he would be considered a powerful existence in the earth-level cultivation domain. But just now, they seemed to feel as small as ants, and their life and death were controlled by others, and in the blink of an eye of others. Lianxu Hedao... was so small?
...
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen came to the bottom of a mountain stream. He saw a waterfall in front of him splashing pearls and jade, and the sound of water continued. A deep pool gathered below. ❃✺
He walked to the edge of the deep pool and looked at his reflection in the water. The two lines of blood at the corners of his eyes were still a little shocking. I don't know if Weiyang or Nichang would feel distressed if they saw it.
He slowly scooped up the water from the pool and slowly washed away the two lines of blood. Before, when he was at the critical moment of comprehending the artistic conception, he was attacked by Xuanyunzi's soul, so he left this backlash injury.
At that time, he had already comprehended the second level of the realm of immortality. What he comprehended was the "realm of life and death". His own cultivation realm was also improved at that moment, but because of the sudden attack of Xuan Yunzi's soul, he had to stop the realm breakthrough, and he finally failed to successfully merge with the Tao.
He didn't know where his current cultivation realm was. It seemed to be between the peak of refining the spirit and returning to the void and refining the void to merge with the Tao. Because he was attacked by Xuan Yunzi's soul this time, he didn't know if it would be more difficult to make another breakthrough next time.
During the process of cultivation, the less than 20 years of Taoism is "refining essence into qi", which is roughly equivalent to practicing qi. The more than 50 years of Taoism are foundation-building, and the more you go up, the more you can condense the golden elixir. Generally, after a hundred years of Taoism, you can successfully form the elixir, and then you are called a elixir cultivator.
After a hundred years of practice, one can "refine the spirit and return to the void", and can get a glimpse of the wonders of the Nascent Soul. This is a watershed. Even if an average person has reached three hundred years of practice, he may not be able to successfully condense the Nascent Soul. As long as he fails to condense the Nascent Soul, he is still called a Jindan cultivator.
It often takes four hundred years of practice to condense the Nascent Soul. After condensing the Nascent Soul, he is called a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he is also in the "refining spirit and returning to the void" at that time, he is already very different from the Jindan cultivator.
Going up, reaching five hundred years of practice, you can try "harmony with the Tao", combining "refining essence into qi", "refining qi into spirit", and "refining spirit and returning to the void" into one, achieving the perfection of both body and spirit, which is a successful fusion of Tao, and from then on stepping into the "refining void and fusion of Tao" realm.
The realm of refining void and fusion of Tao is also a watershed. If you cannot step into the realm of refining void and fusion of Tao, then your life will end and there is no hope of becoming an immortal forever.
After reaching the realm of refining the void and combining the Dao, one needs to further comprehend the Heavenly Dao. This step is very difficult. Some people spend their entire lives but cannot comprehend the Heavenly Dao or the artistic conception. In the end, they still have no hope of becoming immortals. When their lifespans are over, they can only reincarnate again.
After comprehending the Heavenly Dao, one enters the "real realm of enlightenment", which is divided into "virtual" and "real". If one is in the virtual realm of enlightenment, then at most, one is much stronger than the average person in the realm of refining the void and combining the Dao. If one is in the real "real" realm of enlightenment, then compared with the realm of refining the void and combining the Dao who has not yet comprehended the Heavenly Dao, there is a difference between immortals and mortals.
Above the realm of enlightenment, there are three realms: "lower realm of enlightenment", "middle realm of enlightenment" and "upper realm of enlightenment". These three realms, let alone a realm difference, even a small difference, their strength will be as different as heaven and earth. If one "transforms into a spirit" during this period, it will be even more extraordinary, almost half a step into immortality, just like the difference between the Yuanying cultivator and the Jindan cultivator in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
Now, although Xiao Chen has not yet entered the realm of Lianxu Hedao, he has already realized his own artistic conception and can control the power of life and death. Therefore, in terms of strength, there is almost no one below Wuxuan Realm who can match him. Even a master of Hedao Realm as strong as Xuan Yunzi cannot resist the control of life and death.
"Wait for the day when Xiao can achieve Hedao..."
At this moment, he slowly raised his palm and looked at the slowly beating heart-destroying fire in his palm. His eyes suddenly became sharp. The person who framed me and destroyed Ning Village, even if you have the ability to reach the sky with one hand in the Five Realms of Xianyuan, even if no one knows your identity, when Xiao succeeds in Hedao, he will definitely pull you out...
The mountain wind blew slowly, and Xiao Chen gradually calmed down and buried this hatred in his heart. Next, he was going to the Demon Flame Sect, not only to hunt down Xuan Yunzi, but more importantly, he was going to the Demon Flame Sect to get something.
At this moment, he slowly took out a scroll from his sleeve, and with a "hiss", the scroll was shattered into pieces. This was the map he had bought on the black market before, but this map was obviously fake.
Because of the special reasons of the national religions of various countries, maps of the Eastern cultivation world were scarce, and some of them were real and some were fake, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Now, he needed a real map.
Only by finding a complete map of the East Continent can he find the location of "Yanggu". Otherwise, if he searches in this confused way, he may not be able to find the Fusang sacred tree even if he searches for decades or hundreds of years. When he really finds it, Weiyang may not be there.
So now, he has to go to the Demon Flame Sect. The Life and Death Alliance has more than a hundred sects scattered in various countries. Even if some other Xuanmen sects in the Earth-level Cultivation Domain do not have a map of the East Continent, the Life and Death Alliance must have a real map, or even a complete map of the East Continent.
…
Three days later, Xuan Yunzi fled back to the Demon Flame Sect in a panic. A very heavy ban had been laid outside the entire mountain. Obviously, three days ago, when Luan Shili saw that the life and death soul lamps of nine of the ten fire elders had gone out, he knew that nine of the ten people had died, and only Xuan Yunzi had escaped back.
"Yes... it's Elder Xuanyun!"
The hundreds of Demon Flame Sect disciples patrolling inside were shocked to see that the great elder had returned, but they did not open the ban to let Xuan Yunzi in.
Xuan Yunzi was in a state of panic at this moment, like a dog that had lost its home. He had been on tenterhooks for the past three days, and even though he had returned to the Demon Flame Sect, he was still terrified. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see Xiao Chen's bleeding eyes, which was too scary, but it was caused by him.
"Open the ban! Quick!"
Xuan Yunzi tried to calm down, but at this moment he felt a chill on his back, as if the killing god had caught up with him, which made him feel terrified and uneasy.
The disciples of the Demon Flame Sect saw that the always mysterious Great Elder was so abnormal today, and they were also frightened and panicked. They quickly opened the ban, but at this moment, a cold air filled the air, causing everyone to shudder and stop at the same time.
"Elder... Elder... You, behind you, behind you..."
All the disciples seemed to have been possessed at this moment, standing still and not daring to move, all looking in fear at the terrifying figure that slowly appeared behind the Great Elder.
