This night is destined to be sleepless.

First, there was red clouds rising into the sky in Zhenlu Mountain, and the vision shocked people for three hundred miles.

In the second half of the night, it became even more exaggerated. Thunder shook Zhenlu Mountain, and then, a roar like a slaughtering pig was heard, accompanied by turbulent thunder.

The misery and anger in that voice was as if a male lion had occupied its territory and been deprived of its right to reproduce.

"Brother Dao, did you hear anything going on in the mountains last night?"

The next day, Wang Xiaoyi asked Zhou Dao.

"No."

Zhou Dao shook his head. He was obsessed with the cultivation of Vulcan Cang and concentrated on absorbing and refining the strange fire nectar. Naturally, he did not notice other movements.

Besides, what does the movement in the mountains have to do with him?

"Brother Dao, we have been here for half a month, when can we go back?"

"It should be soon. I heard that entering the sacred tomb will not take more than a month at most."

Zhou Dao walked out of Ling Mansion and looked in the direction of Ping'an Ruins. He didn't know what was going on with Little Thirteen inside.

Zhou Dao was full of yearning for the sacred tomb. Even if he was in Zhenlu Mountain, he could still receive the feeling of calling.

That place was extremely attractive to him.

"When the holy miracle appears, I hope I can go in."

Zhou Dao had no choice but to try the method proposed by Wang Xiaoyi. Through the manifestation of the holy miracle, the soul left the body, followed the projection of the vision, and entered the Ping'an Ruins.

Before that, he could successfully cultivate Vulcan Cang.

After last night, Zhou Dao refined half of the essence of the alien fire nectar, integrated it into his heart, and operated it according to the Vulcan Cang technique.

According to this speed, he can practice [Fire God Hidden] within three to five days. At that time, with the two great powers of Nielong Yuanwang, Zhou Dao's strength can reach twenty-five times, "Half-step into Gang" , and became one of the top ten powerful men in Zhenlu Mountain.

In the days that followed, Zhou Dao lived in seclusion. Apart from practicing, he also studied Taoism with Ming Donglou.

Wang Xiaoyi also joined in from time to time.

The happiness between three men is unimaginable to ordinary people.

On this day, the martial arts training ground was filled with sword light and sword aura, and cracks appeared on the ground paved with [Fire Crystal Diamond].

In the smoke and dust, two figures soared into the sky.

As soon as Zhou Dao raised his hand, the evil dragon turned into thunder, King Yuan made fire, and the thunder-fire magic sword came into being. The fierce killing energy shook the sky and the earth, and swallowed up Ming Donglou's figure like a thunderous roar.

Rumble...

Ming Donglou's body trembled, and the powerful true energy ignited like a spiritual incense. The spiritual energy in the world became violent, as if it was ignited by this spiritual incense-like true energy.

The true Qi returns to its original essence and transforms into liquid, gathering like incense and ascending to the heavenly spirit. This is half a step to becoming Gang.

In the smoke and dust, the endless energy turned into a huge animal head, which held Mingdonglou in his mouth.

The thunder and fire generated sword light, wildly bombarding the huge beast head, and the shock caused was like a violent wind, sweeping across all directions.

"The Flying Skull Talisman of Longhu Mountain!?" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but be moved.

This is the secret method taught by Longhu Mountain. Kill the big demon, absorb the soul, practice it into a talisman, and refine it with your life essence and blood. At the critical moment, the true energy can be activated to turn it into such a great defense technique.

Bang bang bang...

The flying skull talisman hangs above Mingdong Tower, and the huge animal head protects him as he rushes towards Zhou Dao.

"cut!"

Suddenly, Ming Donglou pulled out the knife from his waist, and the rusty blade glowed with a dazzling brilliance.

The light of the sword traveled like time, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached the facade. The terrifying energy was like a line between heaven and earth, dividing yin and yang.

Buzz…

The dragon's roar resounded, and the black sword light appeared in Zhou Dao's hand. The black dragon sword swayed in the blue waves, blocking the sharp long sword.

At the same time, Zhou Dao's palms trembled, and the evil dragon energy turned into mysterious runes, like an abyss descending, swallowing mixed light.

As soon as he raised his hand, he reached into the vast sword energy, squeezed it gently, and heard a shocking explosion.

In an instant, the killing attack was shattered, and the sword energy in the sky suddenly collapsed under this grip, turning into a strong wind blowing over the Buddha.

"Brother Dao is so awesome." Wang Xiaoyi was dumbfounded.

Ming Donglou is known as the Six-Sword Demon King and ranks seventh among the top ten masters in Zhenlu Mountain, still above Chi Beilan.

Without using the secret method of amplification, Zhou Dao was able to fight him evenly.

Up to this point in the battle, Ming Donglou has used various methods, and he has used seven spells in a row, but Zhou Dao has cracked them all.

As for Zhou Dao, there are only [Thunder and Fire Sword] and [Nine Turns of Fire Pill Technique] that come and go.

These two techniques exerted unimaginable power in his hands.

All this is due to the two great powers of Nie Long Yuan Wang.

Bang bang bang...

The long smoke and dust billowed like the waves of the Nu River, sweeping endlessly.

The two figures staggered and separated, and each fell outside the venue. The powerful aura blew away the crazy smoke and dust.

"Zhou Dao, your strength has become stronger." Ming Donglou looked at him intently, his eyes full of exclamation and admiration.

He is aloof and arrogant, and there are not many people who can enter the Dharma Eyes, but Zhou Dao is definitely one of them.

Mingdong Lou Chi was eight years older than Zhou Dao, and he had reached the level of half-step into the Gang, and he was also equipped with the true skills of Longhu Mountain.

However, if he does not use the secret method of amplification [Six-Armed Ming King], there will be nothing he can do for Zhou Dao.

What surprised Ming Donglou the most was that Zhou Dao had only lived in Zhenlu Mountain for more than half a month, but his strength had improved a lot compared to when he first arrived.

That day in front of the ruined temple outside the mountain, Zhou Dao was not as skilled as he is now.

"Your progress is so fast." Ming Donglou stared at Zhou Dao and couldn't help but sigh.

"I still can't suppress you." Zhou Dao smiled.

The battle between him and Ming Donglou was just a competition, leaving a lot of leeway. Magic techniques such as the True Furnace Body and the Cursed Sun Seal were not used.

As for the Mayfly Sword Technique, he did not dare to reveal it easily, lest the world would be shocked.

Even so, he was able to fight equally with Ming Donglou, which shows that Zhou Dao's strength has indeed improved a lot by practicing the Vulcan Cang.

"You are already very strong." Ming Donglou shook his head.

"Your twin swords of thunder and fire and the nine-turn fire elixir skill are both high-grade minor techniques, but in your hands they exert the power of the highest-grade minor techniques." Ming Donglou sighed: "This is simply unbelievable."

Refining masters practice the inner magic of war.

Real masters practice real magic.

There are also differences in spells.

It is recorded in the "Monster Control Division Work Manual" that there are 18,000 minor arts and 1,960 major arts in the world, which are divided into five levels: first-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, top-grade and top-grade.

Zhou Dao's Taiyi Thunder Technique and Taiyi Fire Talisman are both mid-level minor arts. Later, he used the Curse Sun Seal as the basis and fused them to create the [Thunder and Fire Magic Sword], which reached the power of a top-grade minor technique.

As for the Nine-turn Fire Pill Skill itself, it is a top-grade minor skill.

When he was in Ping'an Town, Zhou Dao obtained this technique through sacrifice. However, at that time, his realm was still low and he only obtained the technique of holding the Yuan back to unity and condensing blood energy.

Later, in Pingjiang City, he traveled to the Immortal Gate and perfected the Nine-turn Fire Pill Technique.

After entering the capital, he crossed the Chiling Palace Incense Altar and obtained the wordless ancient tablet, which was finally considered as the true mastery of the Nine-turn Fire Pill Technique.

Even so, both [Thunder and Fire Dual Swords] and [Nine Turns of Fire Pill Technique] only belong to the category of top-grade minor techniques.

Even if you sacrifice to a first-level god statue to awaken your true energy, it is impossible to break this limit. At most, you can practice faster, use it more freely, and be able to produce the maximum power of that level of magic.

But Zhou Dao is different.

Whether it is Nie Long Qi or Yuan Wang Qi, they are true Qi created through the design and perfection of the ancestors of the Sunset Sect.

They have undergone unimaginable transformation in Zhou Dao's hands.

The Evil Dragon Qi absorbs the wonders of thousands of temples, sacrifices hundreds of evil dragons, and is fully sublimated before entering the true realm.

Yuan Wang Qi, on the other hand, devoured and refined the Dragon Qi of Great Qin, absorbed the fortune of heaven and earth, and finally achieved its transformation.

Zhou Dao's body accommodates the two great energies of Nie Long Yuan Wang, and when he casts his spells, the power breaks through the limits and rises to a higher level.

Whether it is [Thunder Fire Magic Sword] or [Nine Transformations Fire Pill Technique], they have reached the category of top-notch minor techniques.

In fact, Zhou Dao's most powerful one at present is [True Furnace Body], which is a top-notch little skill.

As for [Curse Sun Seal], it should have been out of this category, but Zhou Dao has not yet fully mastered it.

"Fighting with you these days has confirmed a lot of doubts in my mind." Zhou Dao said with a smile.

He was very lucky to meet Ming Donglou.

At his level, it is important to have the guidance of a famous teacher like Li Zangfeng, but it is equally valuable to have an opponent of the same level to learn from and prove.
