"That's roughly it." Lu Tao took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat that had poured down his face, "Use the Haotian Transformation to be as close as the end of the world, widen the distance between us; use the Divine Wind Transformation to block those delicate and small things.
Attack to avoid giving the Blood River an opportunity; then use the thunder to turn into a frontal attack, coercing the vitality of the world and continuously turning into thunder, melting the Blood River... Although it is not the best choice, under the current conditions, it can only be done for the time being.
It’s come to this.”
Until now, he had time to take a breath, but once he relaxed, his face immediately turned pale and his whole body was shaky.
Qingyang Mountain's mountain-protecting formation, the "Nine-Transformation Ksitigarbha Demon-Conquering Formation," is extremely powerful. It is based on the Jinshan Sect's mountain-protecting formation, the "Eight-Extreme Demon-Conquering Formation," and was deduced through the efforts of several masters of the Tribulation. Unfortunately,
, the formation had not been deduced yet, and we only had a rough idea. Several real people who participated in the derivation died in the battle between Dao and Demon.
The descendants of Qingyang Temple have gradually improved this formation according to the ideas of their predecessors, but they do not know the most critical thing - because Qingyang Temple has always been peaceful over the years, and no matter how cautious they are in times of peace, what they consider is "
The issue of "defending the enemy outside the country's borders" does not intend to deeply explore the potential of the mountain-protecting formation.
Although the Jinshan Sect was already making the prototype of the formation diagram, it also failed to complete it.
Originally, this grand array might only be a half-finished product for the rest of its life, but after the destruction of the Jinshan Sect's mountain gate, the Hunyuan Golden Hoop, the treasure of the Dao, has been waiting for the destined person in the Immortal Mountain. After waiting for countless years, when it was boring, it
He was deducing formations as a pastime. What he was deducing was the Nine Transformations Ksitigarbha Demon Subduing Formation.
In the end, the formation diagram of this great formation was completed in the hands of Hunyuan Golden Hoop, and with the arrival of the destined man Lu Tao, he was taken away by Hunyuan Golden Hoop and became Lu Tao's treasure.
Lu Tao originally planned to revitalize his sect in the future, so he built a large formation based on this formation to protect the mountain gate. However, he never dreamed that he would actually use the formation plan before he could even return the elixir.
It's time
In fact, before today, he had not started to sacrifice the formation diagram at all. It was not until Qingyang Mountain was surrounded by the blood river that he hurriedly started to perform the sacrifice. He barely managed to refine a small half of it. When he could make do with it, he rushed in
Qingyangshan helps.
If Master Shaoguang hadn't believed in him, it would have been impossible to control the entire formation with his Yuan Condensation cultivation and the less than half-refined array diagram. And even if Master Shaoguang granted him control without reservation
With the power of the formation, this job is a bit too difficult for him.
In a very short period of time, the formation diagram must be combined with the mountain and river seals as the hub of the formation, and then the real Qingyang formation and the theoretical Nine Transformations Ksitigarbha Demon Subduing Formation should be compared and modified one by one, until the entire formation
After the modifications are completed, we still need to activate the formation to deal with the Blood River... None of these things is easy, and it can even be said that they are all beyond Lu Tao's ability.
However, he persisted and accomplished these things one by one
In order to be able to calculate the plan to modify the formation as soon as possible, he forced his mind to use magic to speed up the calculation, and his head was buzzing as if it was about to explode; in order to be able to combine the formation diagram with the mountain and river seal as soon as possible, he directly blasted away the engraved images on the formation.
The true essence brand in the picture made his soul vibrate and his limbs become weak; in order to activate the formation as quickly as possible, he used overbearing techniques to stimulate his potential, so that his body almost collapsed...
But he finally did it. In a short period of time, he really accomplished all these things.
"It's incredible that I actually did it." Lu Tao sat on the chair. Although he was dizzy, his heart was full of pride and pride. "It turns out that I am so powerful. I didn't realize it myself."
"Haha, we haven't had time to ask you about the origins of Taoist friends in detail." Because Master Shaoguang was concentrating on controlling the formation, the twenty-fourth generation ancestor Master Zixu was responsible for the conversation. He came to Lu Tao with a smile
In front of him, he asked: "Seeing that this fellow Taoist has an upright and awe-inspiring attitude, and also reveals a kind of compassion, he mainly focuses on Taoist skills, and also practices the Buddha's heart method... Could it be that he is the legendary Jinshan Yi?"
Is the Buddha of the Pulse originally the Tao and the Dharma of the mind?"
Lu Tao was stunned. Unexpectedly, this senior could see through his own mind just by "seeing". But when he thought about it, he was relieved - the Qingyang and Jinshan sects have a very good relationship, and there are several core thoughts of the Jinshan sect.
Everyone should have some knowledge of Dharma and Qingyang Temple. Naturally, my own Dharma, which is that Buddha is the Tao, is no exception.
"My dear Lu Tao, I received the inheritance of the Jinshan Sect in the Immortal Mountain of the East China Sea. I have been hiding near your sect these years, using your sect's name to protect myself... I apologize for not coming to visit you."
Master Zixu smiled without any intention of blaming him: "Be careful and you are not unreasonable. We are not unreasonable. I am just a seasoned Taoist. I am a little curious. Could it be that the method used by fellow Taoist friends to modify our mountain protection formation is not something that the Jinshan Sect has been silently doing over the years?"
Will you help us improve our formation?"
"Anyway, it's good to be idle..." Lu Tao touched his bald head in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Master Zixu suddenly became in awe and led all the masters in the hall to bow to him.
"The deep friendship of the Jinshan people will never be forgotten by me, Qingyang."
This formation was really big, and Lu Tao immediately panicked. He was only in the realm of condensing Yuan, and had not even reached the peak of Condensing Yuan. As for returning elixirs or something like that, it was far away. And at this moment, the ten people who bowed to him were
The remaining masters were all in the Dan Huan realm... which really made him a little flattered.
He wanted to get up and avoid it, but Master Zixu cast a spell and pinned him down on the chair. He really accepted this worship.
"Fellow Taoist is sent to support our sect on behalf of Jinshan, so he deserves to be worshiped."
Lu Tao felt uncomfortable being worshiped by more than a dozen Huandan Masters - he was born in a casual cultivator, and was used to seeing the arrogance of senior monks towards their juniors, but he never thought that he would experience something like this today.
For casual cultivators, it is the junior's honor to be used by their seniors. Even if they are upset because of this, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck, and they may be blamed for delaying their seniors' affairs.
But people in the righteous path are not like this, and Qingyang Temple is not like this.
Lu Tao felt a little uncomfortable, but his heart couldn't help but feel hot. It was only now that he deeply felt what the right way was and truly understood...
Although his body was still extremely uncomfortable, tired and injured, and he needed a good rest, his spirit couldn't help but become excited. He wished he could jump up now and continue to activate the formation to fight with the blood river.
"Fellow Taoist, it's better to have a good rest first. The current situation is good." Master Zixu saw his thoughts at a glance and persuaded with a smile, "If I am not wrong in my estimate, there will be another war soon.
When the time comes, I will ask fellow Taoists to take extra care."
Lu Tao nodded repeatedly, took some elixir, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
Seeing that his breath gradually became calmer, Master Zixu nodded, and used the method of sound transmission to say to Chen Shi, the most cultivated among the twenty-fifth generation elders: "If there is another battle later, and everything goes well, then naturally...
Needless to say, if the situation goes bad and you take this fellow Daoist Lu to escape, you must not let him die in Qingyang Mountain."
"Disciple understands." Chen Shi nodded solemnly, "Even if it costs my life, I will protect the safety of Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Well, our sect has its own inheritance method. Even if we all die here, the Qingyang lineage will only be temporarily silent. In the future, someone like Patriarch Wang will naturally appear to revive our sect; but the Jinshan lineage... If Fellow Daoist Lu
Unfortunately, I am buried here, and I am afraid that the day of recovery will be far away.”
He thought for a while and smiled again: "Maybe I'm just a veteran and worry too much. Looking at the current situation, I won't really fall to the point of exterminating the family."
Chen Shi also laughed - although warning signs were rising in their hearts, those who can achieve the goal of returning elixirs have not experienced many dangers, walked through mountains and seas of fire, and passed through life and death difficulties. I don't know how many dangers and difficulties they have experienced.
To get to where we are today.
Is there a warning sign? So what? I’m not scared.
"Speaking of which, I have always wondered about one thing. Wu Jie went into seclusion as soon as he came back. His sworn sister Du Ruo said that he was approaching the realm of returning elixirs... Do you think these two things are related?" Changsun Wu suddenly appeared.
He said thoughtfully, "As soon as he started attacking to return the elixir, it didn't take long for the enemy to come to the door... It was as if they came specifically to prevent him from completing the elixir."
When everyone heard this, they all showed thoughtful expressions.
What Changsun Wu said makes sense. There is absolutely no such coincidence in the world.
But emotionally, they find it a bit difficult to accept.
Wu Jie is just returning the elixir. Even if he is talented and has amazing combat power, after successfully returning the elixir, he will only reach the level of four or five. As for using force to prevent him from becoming an elixir?
Looking at the formation of the Blood River, the cost is really quite high.
Everyone fell into silence for a while. After a while, Xiao Yue stood up, muttered "I'll go take a look" and disappeared, heading to Wu Jie's bamboo house to see how he was surviving the tribulation.
But Xiao Yue didn't see anything. A strange force enveloped the entire bamboo building. Even with his cultivation at the Dan Huan realm, he couldn't break in.
"What?"
"It's just a calamity of inner demons. How could there be such a huge formation?"
"It seems that Brother Changsun's guess is really reasonable."
All the real people were talking about it, but for a while there was nothing they could do. They could only cope with the changes by staying the same and patiently waiting for Wu Jie to come out of seclusion.
At this time, in the fantasy world of the Book of Heaven, Wu Jie was still meditating.
"Every person who practices Taoism is pursuing his original heart. Only by finding the original heart can he brush away the dust in the soul, use the original heart to reflect his true nature, and have a clear spirit. He can break through the extremes of the world's laws and step into the realm of returning elixirs.
…”
"But how can we find our true heart?"
This issue is not mentioned in the Qingyang Temple's collection of books. Instead, many seniors are telling future generations of disciples not to believe in the experiences of those Huandan seniors, especially those who say "how to find the original mind." You don't need to read it.
Try not to look at them. If you accidentally see them, treat them as if they are farting.
"Everyone's original intention is different. The method used by others to find the original intention may not be applicable to you - the greater possibility is that according to their method, what you find is not the original intention but a delusional intention."
When monks are looking for their original mind, some people will get wrong results and produce delusional thoughts. The delusional mind is similar to the original mind, but it deviates from the monk's nature. If this is used as the original mind, no problem will be seen at first, and even
If you are lucky, you can really use this method to return elixirs, but you will soon find that you cannot understand your own natal Taoist skills, and your cultivation will be stuck at the door of the elixir repayment realm, and you will be unable to make progress.
People who are lucky can discover their delusional mind at this time and find their original intention again. Although it takes more time and suffers a lot of hard work, the road ahead is still open. But people who are unlucky can never discover their delusional mind.
The mind will gradually become possessed and become more and more narrow-minded and arrogant. In the end, if one does not die in the fight, he will die of madness.
Of course, what Wu Jie was looking for was his true intention rather than his delusional intention. However, he had experienced many illusions before and after, and had seen many real and fake lives, but he never had the feeling of "lighting up before his eyes", let alone the feeling of being in the world.
Find your true heart through these experiences.
He knew that the inner demon tribulation was originally very time-consuming. From touching the heart to breaking through the tribulation, most monks would spend several days. Some even spent several years or even decades. If you count
Those monks who were never able to escape from the disaster and stayed in seclusion until their death had even increased the average time to an astonishing number.
But both intuition and wisdom told him that now was not the time to procrastinate.
The Demon Sect should be attacking Qingyang Mountain. The war situation outside is probably very urgent. The sect needs him. His elders and brothers need him. He can't stay here for too long.
But...if he can't find his true intention, he won't be able to get out.
Qingyang Temple does have secret methods that can temporarily interrupt the inner demon tribulation. However, Wu Jie never thought that he would be in a hurry when he was going through the inner demon tribulation, so he didn't ask about those secret methods at all - this is also an experience.
According to the statistics of the elders of this sect, anyone who prepares the secret method or secret treasure to overcome the tribulation will have a lower success rate.
Wu Jie's plan was very simple, to complete the tribulation in one go. But the plan could not keep up with the changes... He was regretting it now, hating why he didn't develop a secret technique that could interrupt the tribulation.
If the tribulation is completed, what he sees when he opens his eyes is that the mountain gate has been destroyed, and his fellow disciples are dead and injured... Then he will never be able to have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
"Calm down, don't panic," he calmed down and said to himself, "If I start over again, I will sort out the thoughts in my past and present lives and see what is my true intention."
Do you want a family to live in harmony and enjoy family happiness? This... seems to have been done. Those things that have not been done well are also things that cannot be helped...
Want to find the source of your nightmare? This one has really been found. It is the residual impression of the Supreme God when he was struck by lightning.
Want to practice immortality and become immortal? Maybe it is possible, but I should not be the kind of cold-blooded animal who would abandon anything in order to survive...
Want to be free and happy? It seems possible, but if freedom or grievance can be exchanged for immortality, it seems that it is not impossible to make this deal...
Want to harmoniously expand the disciples and promote the righteous way? My ideals don’t seem that big...
Want to stay with Yin Shuang forever? This... seems... seems... a little closer to my heart, but I shouldn't be the kind of lower-body animal who only thinks about women...
Wu Jie thought so hard that his brain almost exploded, but he still couldn't think of a Chou Yin Mao. Finally, he jumped up in anger and stomped on the ground.
"I am living a good life in my heart, and I have never found any problems with my thinking. Why do I have to find my heart to come out? This is simply unreasonable."
As soon as he cursed, an idea suddenly flashed in his heart, and he froze.
In the past few years, I have been living a good life. Although sometimes I have encountered some unpleasant things, in general, I do not feel that there is anything wrong with my thoughts or ideas.
In this case, why do you have to find your true heart again? Isn't it good to just live like this?
"My true heart, my true heart," Wu Jie frowned and murmured to himself, "Do I really need to find one true heart among all my thoughts?"
In the sky above Qingyang Temple, there was sudden thunder and lightning, and the wind and clouds changed color.
The originally clear sky was suddenly filled with endless dark clouds. The dark clouds were so thick and heavy that they covered the blue sky and daylight like darkness, making it almost impossible to see even one's fingers.
But in this darkness, there is no deep and gloomy feeling. Instead, there is a strong vitality gestating, which makes people feel moved from the depths of their souls, as if they feel something, but cannot grasp it.
"This is...the calamity cloud that transcends the calamity?"
"No, it's not Jie Yun. It's somewhat similar, but I don't feel any malicious intent at all..."
"I feel... this seems like the world is celebrating something..."
Even though they were fighting a fierce battle with the Blood River, the Qingyang audience couldn't help but be attracted by this natural vision. They all looked up and started talking.
But in the river of blood, the Evil Mirror Demon couldn't help but change his color.
"Heaven and earth rejoice, creation shakes, Wu Jie has found his true heart."
Before he could finish speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew among the black clouds. The howling wind did not give any chill, but instead made people feel refreshed. The whole person seemed to have been washed from the inside out, feeling indescribably relaxed and happy.
.
Along with this strong wind, more powerful roars came one after another. The roars were sometimes deep and sometimes passionate. Each sound was like a loud bell and a drum, beating people's hearts. I don't know how many people shed tears for a while, and they were inexplicably moved.
"The tiger roars and the dragon roars, the golden elixir is achieved... He actually wants to achieve the elixir so quickly... We can't delay it any longer." The Demon of Evil Mirror roared, and could no longer care about anything else. He suddenly activated his magic power and poured out the infinite blood.
The river is on top, blocking the sky.
The strange mirror shook violently at the rapidly rotating mountain guard formation, emitting a shrill red light.
Wherever the red light reaches, the thunder collapses, the divine wind subsides, and the sky penetrates.
The entire Qingyang Mountain protective formation was actually penetrated by it with one blow
