"I remember."
The sound echoed in this vast, empty world.
Although he already knew there would be no response, he still looked forward to it.
Until the sound fell, it turned into wind and disappeared in this world where only Yin gods exist.
What followed was a long period of loneliness.
"I should have known..."
Tu Shanjun whispered, but the silence in his eyes was no longer suppressed, and the sorrow between his eyebrows was not brushed away by his true intentions. He reached out and touched his face, and the years did not leave any traces on his face.
He is still young.
Opening the blue-grey ghost hand, the wind and clouds suddenly moved inside the flag. The dilapidated Taoist temple behind him was restored to its original state under the condensation of gray mist. The earth, stone and rubble were intertwined and overlapped as if time had gone backwards.
Most of the city that was originally located at the foot of the mountain had dissipated and was repaired under the cover of his divine consciousness.
The red sleeve robe waved and took away the soul flag on the high altar.
As soon as he got the soul flag, Chi Xuan immediately noticed something different.
The evil spirit that was originally surrounded by coldness has been eliminated a lot, and now the main pole of the soul flag looks like warm jade that has been soaked in the cold pool for a long time, flowing with a gentle breath.
Chi Xuan knew that the Zunhun Banner extracted the evil energy of the military disaster, but he didn't know what Tu Shanjun was collecting by hanging from the clouds.
It should be an inspiration that is quite beneficial to your cultivation.
He was sensible enough not to ask, and even used the magic power to make Tu Shanjun walk out of the soul flag for two or three breaths.
Later, the huge qi fluctuations in the sky confirmed his guess.
It can only be seen with the naked eye that Tushanjun, dressed in black Taoist robes, controls the alchemy furnace standing in the clouds. Surrounded by a large number of golden talismans, a colorful pill flies out of the alchemy furnace.
However, after taking the elixir, Tushanjun's condition was not as good as he expected. Instead, he bumped back into the soul flag full of rage.
This move frightened Chi Xuan.
Tu Shanjun can be regarded as his master who embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
It was the confidence and courage that supported him along the way. Otherwise, with his original half-hearted sorcerer training and Taoist mentality, it would have been impossible to stabilize his mental state.
If something happens to Tushanjun, the impact will be huge.
"Demon Lord?"
"Real person?"
"Old practice?"
"..."
Chi Xuan called several times through sound transmission, but there was no response from Tu Shanjun. As time passed by, my heart could not help but rise to my throat.
His pupils shook slightly and he shouted: "Tushanjun!"
"What are you yelling about?"
"Where is the soul?!"
Hearing this voice, Chi Xuan let out a sigh of relief with a smile, and his heart that had been hanging was relieved. The tension and anxiety he had accumulated were swept away by him, and he said with a smile: "I thought the old cultivator was gone.
What's up."
Gray mist lingered, and a figure wearing a black Taoist robe appeared next to Chi Xuan: "What can happen?"
Her long scarlet hair was tied up by Tushanjun.
Wrap the two horns on his forehead.
The ghost waved his hand, brushing away the smoke and dust in front of him, revealing a pair of black and red eyes.
Chi Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, cupped his hands slightly and said: "The master's cultivation seems to have improved again."
"Oh, how come you can see it?"
In Chi Xuan's eyes, most of the chill that shrouded Tu Shanjun in being alienated from people thousands of miles away disappeared.
Although the face was young, he knew that Tushanjun must have lived for many years, and the vicissitudes of time still left many traces on his body, but his eyes were very young.
Especially now.
Without the ice covering the top of his eyes, the suppressed vitality suddenly burst out.
Today's Tushanjun is obviously much more talkative.
"It feels like the real person has become much younger all of a sudden."
"It's just that I have such a feeling." Chi Xuan shook his head. He couldn't say more. He just felt that it was very different from before, but these were good changes.
Although the Demon Lord is powerful, he lacks a bit of humanity. Powerful practitioners who lack humanity are scary.
"Young?" Tu Shanjun heard this somewhat ancient word. Since he embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he has rarely heard such a description, especially from a practitioner younger than him.
"Just young."
Tushanjun smiled calmly.
This time the smile really came from the heart: "Maybe it's because I still have some spirit left."
The inspiration flowed from his fingertips, and Tu Shanjun turned his palm to hold it. When he looked for the inspiration carefully, he couldn't find it. When he didn't want to pursue it, he suddenly realized that it had already arrived by his side.
"Strive without fighting and gain without fighting."
Tushanjun murmured.
Practicing Taoism is a matter of internal and external cultivation, and Tu Shanjun didn't find it strange. He turned his hand and integrated the spirit into the soul flag. The deity sitting cross-legged in the Taoist temple opened his mouth and swallowed it in one mouthful.
The loneliness surrounding me was gradually melted away by inspiration.
"Capture Xiguan, and the door to Lizhou will be open. Lizhou can be captured only step by step."
"Use these two states to flank Cangzhou..."
Chi Xuan walked down from the tower, excitedly describing the outline that he had already decided on.
That's what I said, I was elated.
It's better to show off your achievements.
Tu Shanjun casually used a blind trick to cover up his figure.
His body is not a big deal, but it is too similar to the body of a god. If he appears in front of everyone, it will inevitably cause a disturbance, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"Then we go to Senzhou, go north and cross Xiongguan, and go straight to Beijing..."
"Chixuan."
Chi Xuan was stunned for a few breaths.
There was no discomfort at all being interrupted.
Instead, he asked with a curious look on his face: "Do you have any advice from a real person?"
In the past, Tushanjun was more like an old cultivator who knew everything. He was very patient and the best listener. However, he rarely interrupted when he was speaking, and he had such a serious expression.
Tu Shanjun pondered for a while, seeming to sigh.
Said: "It's time for you to work hard."
"Leave the matter of conquering cities and territories to your subordinates."
"Without the cultivation of a master, this great cause cannot be accomplished."
What Tu Shanjun said was very ordinary, and it sounded quite plain. It was like he was simply telling a thing, and it was not about the lives of the people in this cave and the world.
Chi Xuan was slightly startled when he reached the foot of the city.
He has indeed neglected the improvement of his own cultivation. If he had been in the past, he should have started to practice in seclusion, instead of continuing to practice against the foundation-building realm.
Relying on the blessing of the divine body, he indeed has the strength to surpass the master of Jindan.
It can even defeat the master monks sent by the Great Cang Dynasty.
However, facing the emperor who descended from God, he was not even qualified to fight back.
If it hadn't been for the real person to take action, maybe he would have been defeated at that time.
In fact, what Tu Shanjun said was not about the people of Dongtian, he just wanted to persuade Chi Xuan.
There is no point in spending all your energy on conquering cities and territories.
If you save land, you will lose people, and you will lose both people and land. If you save people, you will lose land, and you will gain both people and land.
More importantly, Tu Shanjun felt that Chi Xuan was a good person who could fly higher in the Xiaohuang Realm, even go further, and become the kind of legendary monk who could benefit the people.
Don't waste your time and your talents.
Other monks in the cave are slow in their cultivation, but Chi Xuan will not be in this situation, because he, Tushanjun, has huge resources to support Chi Xuan's cultivation, and there is no need to rely on time to slowly improve his cultivation.
What they lack most now is time.
Chi Xuan fell silent. He had indeed been quite proud of himself recently.
Not only recently, since the emperor who defeated the gods last time, when he looked down at the people of Juling with the divine body of Chi Tianjun, he had a lot of pride.
Just as Tushanjun said, he spends less and less time practicing.
In the past, he always used the excuse that he needed to conquer the city and the fake elixir was not in a stable state of mind. Now when Tu Shanjun pointed it out, he suddenly realized that he had not practiced seriously for a long time.
Without enough strength, he cannot go to Kyoto, and there is no way to break through the barrier of Dongtian.
It would be possible to let the real person take action, but he is unwilling to leave.
He cannot leave those who follow him.
If he ignores it, his Taoist heart may be completely shattered before he even leaves the cave. Who made him choose such a road full of thorns? He has to go on even if he grits his teeth.
"The path of practice..."
Chi Xuan couldn't help but miss the days when he used to eat green fruits and go down the mountain to ward off evil spirits. At that time, he lived quite happily. On the contrary, the further he walked, the more he felt that the burden of life had fallen away and he was not comfortable enough.
Chi Xuan cupped his hands and said: "In ten days, I will return to Juling County and ask the real person to help me build a large formation of pill formation."
"good."
"Reporting to the Archmage, Zhou Shuai has captured Julu County and will join us soon." He San, who came in a hurry, looked happy. Unexpectedly, he also captured Julu County, which seemed difficult to chew.
As he spoke, he handed the sealed talisman to Chi Xuan.
Li Asheng's news came faster, and it had already arrived before they broke through Xiguan. This was also because Jugu County's defensive power was not strong, and there were followers of the Chitian Society who cooperated internally and externally.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Chi Xuan praised, he thought Zhou Hui needed support, but he didn't expect that he could capture the city quickly.
However, when he thought of Tu Shanjun's words, he felt a little disappointed, but at the same time he felt relieved that the Dharma Chief in the Chitian Society could act alone, and he did not need to do everything personally.
If everything goes well, Lizhou and Cangzhou can be captured within a month. By then, there will be hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the army of the Cang Dynasty will not be afraid.
Next is the aftermath of capturing the city.
Tushanjun's incarnated body disappeared like sand.
When he went out for a walk, he not only warned Chi Xuan to practice hard, but also wanted to smell the smoke and smoke in this world. The smoke and smoke made him feel that he was still a human being.
A simple smell of the fireworks in this world means that everything is too much and he needs to prepare the materials for the formation of Chi Xuan Dan and the spiritual objects used to form the Dan.
"Great Master, the woman from the White God Sect is still tied up in the camp. When will we see her?"
Speaking of this matter, Chi Xuan patted his head and thought about it.
While he was busy sieging the city and dealing with the aftermath, he still had a problem to deal with, so he thought for a moment: "Then let's meet."
