Chapter 196: Tokens Appear Together to Eliminate the Crystal Wall (Second Update)
The black-armored figure was full of black air and death energy. The ghost soldiers and ghost generals did not dare to approach him ten feet away. Those with low intelligence all stood respectfully in the distance, as if they were born to be governed by the black-armored figure.
When Shi Xuan and others entered the cave, he turned his head to look at the ghost soldiers and ghost generals around him. The red light in his eyes flashed, and his voice was hoarse as if it was rubbed by sandpaper: "Go back to the mansion and wait for orders."
Ten ghost generals walked out from the ghost soldiers and ghost generals, and they also answered hoarsely: "Yes." From their every move, every word and deed, it can be seen that these ten ghost generals are much smarter than other ghosts.
So, the black-armored figure turned around and walked to the other side of the cave with a few steps, and then stretched out his hand, and the formation protecting the cave disappeared, allowing him to walk in directly. The ten ghost generals followed him in one after another, and as for the other ghost soldiers and ghost generals, they dispersed directly, floating in the evil spirit and gloomy wind.

“Seniors, fellow Taoists, this cave has been in the evil spirit and yin wind for a long time, and the believers, divine soldiers, and divine generals who died inside have all turned into ghosts. Although there are not many left after millions of years, the ones that occasionally remain are only slightly worse than the Jindan stage.” Kaguya said respectfully to several Jindan masters and soul cultivators.
Ghost Crying Master, Lin Shenhe, and Xuan Yizhen have all come to explore the cave, and they all nodded when they heard it. Among them, Xuan Yizhen said to Hu Shan: “Fairy Hu, you must be careful. I once encountered a ghost transformed by a divine general in it. Although it is not in the Jindan stage and has basically no spiritual intelligence, it has a deep accumulation of yin energy and is extremely difficult to deal with.”
Xuan Yizhen showed goodwill to herself, which was exactly what Hu Shan wanted, so she smiled and said: “Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist Xuan. I dare not be careless, but if there are any omissions, I hope that fellow Taoist Xuan can help.” The latter words were not meant on the surface, but just to show Xuan Yizhen that the two of them could join forces to get the treasure.
Master Guiku and Lin Shenhe were both old monsters who had heard these words countless times. They looked at the two with hatred, but they did not dare to take action. First of all, they had not entered the inner palace yet, so it was too early to start an internal conflict. Secondly, the two were much weaker than Xuan Yizhen and Hu Shan. Maybe after entering the inner palace, they would be hunted down.
Xuan Yizhen got Hu Shan's promise to join forces, and laughed, knowing that he had a great chance this time. As for how to distribute the treasure after taking it, that would be a matter for the future.
Shi Xuan put on a gesture of not getting close to anyone beside them, and followed the team forward on his own. At this time, they were still wary of him. When he gave up the reincarnation secret treasure and ran towards other artifacts, they would be able to confirm his thoughts. By then, it might be too late to win him over. After all, there were only two people on both sides. If there was one more Jindan stage cultivator, it would be an overwhelming advantage.
There were formations in the air, so it was best not to fly if possible. So Kaguya led the way, the five Jindan Grandmasters followed in the middle, and the remaining six Soul-level cultivators walked at the end. They were all very cautious. First, the ghosts transformed by the divine weapons and generals inside were extremely powerful, and they would be injured if they were not careful. Second, the five old Jindan-level demons were not easy to deal with. If they found an opportunity, killing people and taking cards would be common.
The ground was full of broken bricks and tiles. Shi Xuan and others would accidentally touch them when walking among them. Don’t look at the ugly appearance of these broken bricks and tiles, they are all ancient things, made of gold bricks and jade tiles made of fine materials. If you take out a little bit, it will make the Out-of-Body Stage cultivators jealous. However, the twelve cultivators here don’t care about them at all, just treat them as waste.
Suddenly, a god general in golden armor jumped out from behind a broken wall and attacked Ye Shiliu and Zhou Qi at the end of the team. Under the helmet was a dull face, but his movements were indeed extremely fast. While emitting colorful light to attack Ye Shiliu, he controlled the axe-shaped magic weapon to kill Zhou Qi.
Because of the suppression of the formation, Ye Shiliu and Zhou Qi's consciousness could only be within ten feet of their bodies, so they didn't react until the golden armor god general came out. However, both of them were extraordinary, and they were not afraid even when facing a god general close to the golden elixir.
I saw a red sword light like a phoenix flying out of Zhou Qi's hand, and it just touched the axe-shaped magic weapon lightly, knocking the magic weapon to the ground, and at the same time, it slashed at the golden armor god general at the same speed.
On Ye Shiliu's side, a white light flashed silently like lightning in the dark night. When the white light appeared, it was already next to the golden armor god general's eyes and was about to pierce through. At the same time, a black ring-shaped magic weapon appeared beside Ye Shiliu, blocking the colorful light.
Zhou Qi's natal magic weapon, the Flying Phoenix Sword, and Ye Shiliu's natal magic weapon, the Black Night White Light Sword, were both at the seventh level and had not yet reached perfection. They were only equivalent to semi-spiritual weapons. After hearing two metal-iron clashes, the two flying swords were bounced back by the Golden Armor God General, leaving only a crack on his armor and face.
The Golden Armor God General howled and turned the axe-shaped magic weapon back into a golden light with a wave of his hand. But at this moment, a pure white sword energy that seemed to contain infinite starlight shot out, passed through the Golden Armor God General's mouth, and came out from the back of his head. The Golden Armor God General stood there in a daze, and then thousands of starlights burst out from his body, and the black ghost roared and disappeared.
"Thank you, Senior Xingzhao." Zhou Qi and Ye Shiliu were also stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that a Jindan Grandmaster would come to their rescue. Although the golden armor general's magic weapon and spells were extremely rigid, his golden armor and body were extremely hard. The combination of the two made him even more difficult to deal with. Zhou Qi and Ye Shiliu would have to spend at least half an hour fighting slowly before they could kill him.
"Don't waste time." Shi Xuan said calmly, and at the same time, he compared this golden armor god general with the corpse king Song Hezi in his heart, and concluded that Song Hezi was stronger in intelligence and strength. After all, this golden armor god general did not have such abnormal recovery ability, and half of it relied on the protection of the golden armor magic weapon on his body. In fact, what Shi Xuan didn't know was that if he hadn't acted quickly, the golden armor god general could use magic to heal himself.
Originally, Master Guiku saw Shi Xuan's move and was a little bit unbelievable, but after hearing Shi Xuan's words, he was relieved and said, "Don't entangle with these magic weapons and generals, hurry to the inner palace."
Zhou Qi and Ye Shiliu put away the magic weapons and armor of the golden armor god general respectively. The Jindan Grandmaster looked down on them, but for them, they were excellent magic weapons. As for what Shi Xuan thought in his heart, they were not something they could know.
On the way, four or five divine soldiers and generals appeared one after another. What surprised Shi Xuan was that the generals could actually use magic to heal themselves. As Kaguya and Xuan Yizhen said, they were extremely difficult to deal with.
These divine soldiers and generals knew to choose the weak, but with Shi Xuan taking the lead, the Jindan masters did not want to waste time and helped one after another.
A bright red cloud fell on the head of the general, covering it completely. After a few breaths, the red cloud flew back to Hu Shan's hand, leaving only a few broken pieces of gold and iron on the spot, which were all pits and bumps. It was Hu Shan's two-layered spiritual weapon, the red cloud rotten light miasma.
A few black rays flashed, and the golden armor general was suddenly covered with black cracks all over his body, and then broke off from the cracks, turning into several corpses, which was Lin Shenhe's two-layered perfect spiritual weapon magnetic light meridian.
Five tiny emerald lights shot towards the head, hands and feet of the golden armor god general, making a sound like a ghost howling. The speed was so fast that the golden armor god general could not avoid it. He was pierced by the five tiny emerald lights and nailed firmly to the ground. Moreover, the black ghost on his body could not help but throw himself at the five small emerald nails. They were the five ghosts emerald nails of the two-level perfection of the ghost crying master.
A golden sword light flew out, and with just one sword, the golden armor god general was split in half. It was the Haoran sword, the natal spiritual weapon of Xuan Yizhen's two-level perfection.
For the lower-grade golden elixir master who achieved Taoism by borrowing the inner elixir of the monster beast, the magic can only be practiced to the ninth level at most, and it is basically impossible to upgrade to Taoism. The Taoism they know can only be the kind of Taoism that is learned as soon as it is learned, or the one that comes with the inner elixir of the monster beast. Moreover, it is very difficult for them to advance in Taoism. Often in two or three hundred years, the Taoism of other two-grade golden elixir masters has reached the sixth or seventh level, while they are only at the second or third level.
The same is true for the natal magic weapon. After other Jindan masters achieve inner elixir, as long as they refine the magic weapon to the eighth level, and then spend more than ten years, the natal magic weapon can become the natal spiritual weapon. For the lower-grade Jindan masters, it takes at least a hundred years to reach this stage.
Moreover, it takes more time to refine the natal spiritual weapon than the upper-grade Jindan masters. Originally, it takes 700 to 1,000 years to refine the spiritual weapon to the fourth level. The natal magic weapon is halved, which is 350 to 500 years. However, the lower-grade Jindan masters have to spend more than 100 years on this basis, that is, 450 to 600 years. Therefore, these masters who have achieved the lower-grade Jindan for about 300 years often have their natal spiritual weapons between the second and third levels.
Compared with the upper and middle-grade Jindan masters, the lower-grade Jindan masters are really infuriating!
Therefore, this is why Mo Yuan said that Shi Xuan had 50% of the strength of a lower-grade Jindan master after using the external elixir. The difference in Taoism and divine light is not much. The main difference is in the spiritual weapon. One can fully exert it, and the second-level spiritual weapon of the natal spiritual weapon is equivalent to other spiritual weapons in the third level. The other cannot fully exert it and can only use the power of the spiritual weapon in the first level.
With the help of several Jindan masters, the twelve people quickly came to the inner palace of Dongyuan Shenfu. It is called the inner palace, but it is actually a pagoda, which is well preserved and has seven floors. It is surrounded by crystal walls, flashing golden light, and restrictions appear from time to time. It is a very powerful formation.
Each floor of the pagoda has twelve sides, and there is a groove on each crystal wall of the bottom floor.
Huiye said to the others: "Everyone stand on one side, put the token in the groove, and then activate it at the same time. Don't be too early or too late."
The masters and cultivators naturally went to other sides. At this point, they were not far from the treasure, and no one wanted to waste time.
After Shi Xuan put the token away, he looked around and found Zhou Qi and Ye Shiliu. When they saw Shi Xuan looking at them, they all smiled slightly. It seems that they have a much better impression of Shi Xuan, the Jindan Grandmaster, than the other four.
Following the command of Hui Ye's consciousness, the twelve cultivators activated the token at the same time. The token emitted a dazzling golden light, which merged with the golden light on the crystal wall. The restrictions collapsed one after another. Soon, the crystal wall disappeared, revealing the bluestone portals on each side. Above the portals, there was a carved head of a god with eyes wide open.
The third update will also be around 11 o'clock. Those who go to bed early can read it tomorrow. I have been typing from morning to night for two consecutive days, and my head is a little numb.
