Chapter 2 Blackbirds Cultivating Thousands of Miles Away
All mountains, no wave cliffs.
In a simple cave, Alchemy Crow is sitting casually, like an eternal rock, practicing silently.
In fact, he has maintained this posture for more than a thousand years. After receiving the spiritual pulse beads and some auxiliary elixirs and treasures sent by Wu Jie sect Meng Xiujun, he sealed the cave door and concentrated on practicing in seclusion. Not long after,
After that, I felt the opportunity coming from somewhere, and entered into the deepest level of concentration.
It takes more than a thousand years to enter samadhi. This kind of thing is quite luxurious for monks who have not achieved immortality. But Alchemy Crow is a demon clan, and his lifespan is quite long. To him, a thousand years can only be regarded as "
"Relatively long", but it will never cost him too much life.
The long lifespan is the advantage of the demon race, but it is accompanied by the slow speed of cultivation. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been common for the seniors of long-lived races to be surpassed by the juniors of short-lived races. A human race who has practiced for thousands of years can
It is not unusual at all to beat up a group of demon kings who have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years.
Generally speaking, the higher the qualifications of cultivation, the shorter the lifespan will be. And if it is a high-level bloodline such as dragon and phoenix, which has the dual advantages of longevity and qualifications, the intensity of the disaster will be greatly increased when the level is broken.
Added - The Heavenly Way in the dark may indeed be deliberately maintaining a balance, preventing any race from being able to transcend the "rules".
But this rule can also be circumvented. For example, if you improve the quality of your bloodline or transform your racial characteristics, you can circumvent the rules of heaven, thereby getting the best of both qualifications and longevity. Perhaps in the eyes of heaven, acquired efforts also belong to heaven.
The content is worthy of recognition, so let’s keep an open mind.
Alchemy Crow is a typical example of acquired bloodline improvement. He was originally just a monster with a Golden Crow bloodline that was so weak that it was almost negligible. The polite friends gave him face and called him "noble bloodline", while the unkind people simply regarded him as...
A slightly strange-looking crow. But when he joined Wu Jie's disciples in the name of "mount", he not only received a lot of advice on cultivation, but also obtained many precious and rare elixirs. After about seven hundred years,
Through his cultivation, he has made great progress and improved his bloodline tempering a lot. Now, he can hold his head high and declare solemnly, "I am a descendant of the Golden Crow." No one can say that he is bragging.
However, now he doesn't care about such things.
Only the weak care about whether their bloodline is noble. The nobleness of the strong comes from himself. Bloodline and other things are just dispensable embellishments.
At this moment, Alchemy Crow can no longer see any trace of the monster clan. He is sitting in a simple cave stone room, his eyes are slightly closed, and his expression is peaceful. No matter how you look at it, he is just a thin and handsome young man in black, and he does not look like a monster at all.
I don't know how long it took, but he slowly opened his eyes and showed a satisfied smile.
"Huh..." Taking a long breath, Alchemy Crow moved his body and stood up, "Since I have been practicing, I have finally come to the end of this road and touched the key to life and death. The next step is to prepare and take action.
Passed through”
"I don't know how long I've been in seclusion, and I don't know what happened over the years... Anyway, I need to adjust my mood now, so I'll go out for a walk."
With a wave of his hand, all the precious treasures in the stone chamber were collected. The most precious among them was naturally the spirit vein bead that Wu Jie specially refined for him. The half-thumb-sized pearl contained
A complete medium-sized spiritual vein, the quality is even higher. As long as it is combined with the spirit gathering array, it can turn any place into a first-class cave heaven paradise. It is really magical.
This Spirit Vein Bead alone is already a priceless treasure. Not to mention the monks who are below immortality, even those Yang Shen True Immortals who have been watching for a long time often do not have such high-level treasures.
Generally speaking, the Yang Shen True Immortal who was born as a casual cultivator can only find a paradise to live in. Even those with sects can reach the top by refining some low-grade or medium-grade small-scale spiritual veins into spiritual vein beads.
——This is already a very extravagant behavior, and will be secretly denounced as a prodigal by insiders.
Like the Alchemy Crow's spiritual vein bead, it contains a high-grade medium spiritual vein, which is almost the highest level of existence among the spiritual vein beads. It is usually something that the top true immortals with powerful forces use to show off, or it is
Some well-established sects use it to build secret realms to hide from the world, as a trump card to ensure that the inheritance is not lost. It can be said to be an anecdote that he uses it directly for practice.
Alchemy Crow has been walking in the world for many years and has quite a lot of experience. He knows very well the principle that "everyone is not guilty but the one who carries the jade is guilty", so he carefully collected the Spirit Vein Bead in a jade box specially made for him by Wu Jie.
In the middle, several layers of talismans were affixed to completely isolate the leakage of spiritual energy, and then further wrapped with magic weapons that could hinder the detection of spiritual thoughts. Until it was wrapped tightly, there was no need to worry about being discovered, and then a spell was cast to seal it.
It turned into an inconspicuous black light and was sucked into the stomach.
There is a reason why he is so cautious. When he traveled around the world in the past, he became sworn sworn disciples with several monks who were also from the bird tribe, and they all lived and practiced together in an ancient immortal cave in Langya Kingdom. The result was because
Not being careful enough, when breaking through the realm, the Heavenly Tribulation damaged the protective formation outside the cave, so that the news leaked out, and a large number of greedy "treasure hunters" gathered around like sharks smelling the smell of blood. As a result, not only a few sworn sworn people
All his brothers and disciples were killed, and even Alchemy Crow himself almost lost his life.
If he hadn't met Wu Jie by chance that time, Alchemy Crow would have definitely been dead. Although it was a smooth journey for him, and he cultivated all the way to the gate of immortality. But the painful lesson of that year was that he never dared to think about it even for a moment.
forget.
If you are cautious, a thousand times or ten thousand times is not too much; if you are careless, once is not too much.
After collecting the spirit vein beads, Alchemy Crow prepared all his treasures to ensure that he could deal with danger at any time and would not be caught off guard no matter what kind of enemy he faced. Then he smiled with satisfaction and opened the dust-sealed beads.
Long-lasting cave door.
Accompanied by a low roar, the heavy stone door gradually opened. There were no vines or weeds on the stone wall outside the door. It was probably the result of the junior monks from Wubo Cliff who often helped them clean it up - the cliff where the Alchemy Crow is located is Wubo Cliff.
The wave cliff is close to the top floor. Every once in a while, junior monks will come to clean the cliff and spontaneously provide services to the senior masters who live in seclusion here.
This can be regarded as a tradition in Wuboya. The seniors provide safety and security, while the juniors provide some convenient services, and everyone gets something.
When Alchemy Crow came out of the cave, he happened to see a monk in the Dharma realm leading two disciples in the Yin Shen realm, cleaning up all kinds of weeds and vines on the cliff. They were doing a very careful job and were not dirty at all.
Nothing was leaked, and the huge mountain cliff was completely cleaned, just like washing with water.
Seeing Alchemy Crow coming out of seclusion, the three of them stopped what they were doing and saluted him. Naturally, Alchemy Crow didn't put on airs and returned the salute with a smile, then flew over and casually asked what time it was.
"Ah...it turns out that I have been in seclusion for fifteen hundred years." After learning the exact time now, Alchemy Crow couldn't help being slightly stunned, "I thought it was only a little over a thousand years..."
The three junior monks were immediately in awe. It should be noted that the lifespan of ordinary Yin Shen monks is only two thousand years, and even if they cultivate the Dharma, they only have a life span of three thousand years. But the Alchemy Crow can live in retreat for fifteen hundred years, and
But he doesn't seem to care much... This means two possibilities, either his life span is very long and he doesn't care about fifteen hundred years; or he has already reached the gate of immortality and is about to step into it.
The realm of immortality, longevity, and length of time are all meaningless to him.
No matter what the possibility is, for these three juniors, it is something worth looking up to.
Alchemy Crow sighed, noticed the expressions of the three juniors, and couldn't help but laugh.
Once upon a time, he himself looked up to those Daoguo seniors like this.
He smiled, took out some elixirs from the storage magic weapon, and presented them to the three of them: "We are destined to meet each other. These elixirs have no meaning to me, but they are quite useful to you. I hope they will
It can help you make progress, and we will see you again on the road to eternal life in the future."
After saying that, he swayed and turned into a streak of fire and soared into the sky, leaving only the three juniors standing there in a daze holding the elixir.
After being stunned for a moment, the three of them opened the lid of the jade bottle containing the elixir. Immediately, a strong spiritual energy hit their nostrils along with the curling fragrance. Just by asking about this fragrance, they felt that their shaken minds calmed down.
After coming down, a cool and soft breath penetrated into the meridians. The Dharma-Xiang cultivator was fine with it, but the two Yin Shen disciples suddenly discovered that their cultivation level had improved significantly.
"It's really a miracle medicine," one disciple exclaimed.
The Dharma-Xiang monk hurriedly covered the jade bottle, and used his magic power to collect all the surrounding auras to prevent any leakage. Then he carefully put away the jade bottle and told them: "This matter must not be spread to anyone, and we should keep the things we have on hand."
After finishing the matter, go to Xiaxiafang City to find a safe place to talk."
"Uncle Master, why do you still need to clean the stone wall? I think it's a waste of time..."
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten the usual teachings of master and uncle? The more serious the matter, the more calm you must be, and the less likely you are to behave strangely - be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship." The two disciples of Yin Shen said
The middle-aged and older one raised his hand and knocked the junior brother on the head, and said in a harsh tone.
Only then did his junior brother react, touched his head, responded with a silly smile, and got busy together.
This stone wall had already been almost cleaned, and the remaining work was completed in just a while. After the completion, the uncle who was in the realm of Dharma suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and still cleaned up all the various things in a hurry.
After the follow-up cleaning was completed, he took his two nephews and flew back to the city as usual.
They found a reputable inn, opened a room of the highest level protected by heavy magic circles, and then sent out a summons to fly the sword. A moment later, an old man whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Dharma Xiang brought three or four followers with him.
Juniors ranging from Dan to Yin Shen hurried over to join them.
"Junior brother, why are you so anxious?" The old man Wan Jianyi is the leader of this sect, and the people in this room are all the members of the "Wanjian Mountain".
"Senior brother, look." His junior brother Wan Jianxin didn't waste any time. He took out the jade bottles and showed the elixirs in them.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with a dense aroma. The disciples in the Yin Shen realm were fine, but the few disciples in the Golden Elixir realm were immediately dizzy from the strong medicinal power and felt faintly drunk.
This is the phenomenon of "drunk spirit", which can be said to be the happiest way to get drunk in the world.
Wan Jianyi glanced over and his eyes suddenly lit up: "How did you get these elixirs? Is there any trouble? Is there any chance to get them again?"
Wan Jianxin laughed loudly, put away the elixir first, and then explained what had just happened in detail.
Wan Jianyi heard a strange light in his eyes, and after a long time he sighed: "According to what you said, I remembered a senior - his name is not clear, I only know that he was originally from the demon clan, and his nickname
Golden Crow Demon King..."
A huge golden crow that was flying high in the sky and enjoying the long-lost sunshine suddenly sneezed and shouted: "Who is talking about me behind my back?"
This Golden Crow Divine Horse is very special. Its feathers are as if made of pure gold, shining in the sun, and it has three legs under its belly. It can be seen that its bloodline is pure and it is the orthodox inheritance of the Golden Crow Demon God's lineage.
It spread its wings like a dark cloud, casting a huge shadow on the ground. It flew freely across the sky and flew tens of thousands of miles in a short time.
Alchemy Crow had been practicing for a long time, and when he suddenly came out of seclusion, he felt a little agitated. He originally planned to fly casually in the sky to relax, but as he flew, his thoughts changed.
"Now that I have achieved great success, I am only one step away from immortality, and I have the treasures given by the master. I can be said to be a strong soldier... Although there is something wrong with this word, it probably means this. In this case,
So why not take advantage of the present to settle the grudges from back then?
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.
The Alchemy Crow will never forget the grievances of the Langya Kingdom in the past, nor will it forget that countless "treasure hunters" swarmed in from all directions like locusts, and invaded the cave under the leadership of several old men from big families, chasing and killing them all the way.
He and others had no way to go to heaven or to the earth, and in the end, several sworn brothers died tragically one by one...
Just like the peaceful and peaceful fairyland in fairy tales, it has become noisy, chaotic, and full of murderous intentions. Those treasure hunters are running around in the cave, plundering all the treasures they can plunder. If the cave is not built,
The fairy stone has been integrated with the cave formation and cannot be dismantled. They are afraid that they will even dig up the ground.
Faced with this danger, Huangmei layman, who is a yellow-browed canary and is good at concealment, volunteered to try to destroy the formation center of the cave, causing the collapse of the entire cave.
He succeeded, but he was not able to come back. Only a shrill scream came from a distance, and then stopped suddenly.
Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, the golden-eyed man with white hair and beard gritted his teeth and handed over the magic weapon he used to store treasures to the Alchemy Crow.
"Second brother, I'll open a way out, you take my little sister and escape."
Without waiting for the Alchemy Crow to answer, he let out a long roar, leaped up, and transformed into a large eagle with golden eyes and silver wings. Surrounded by several sparkling beads, he roared towards the formation that blocked this area of the world.
.
"The evildoer seeks death"
The three old men discovered him at the same time and unanimously used their magical powers to capture him.
The Four Immortals in the Cloud are all spiritual birds with special bloodlines. If we can capture them alive and extract their essence and blood, it may be of great help to these monks who have reached the end of the Taoist Realm but still cannot find the door to immortality.
.
But before their respective spells landed on the big eagle, the golden-eyed man showed his true form and roared wildly. All the beads exploded together, and even his body exploded with it.
The power of a Daoguo monk exploding with his life magic weapon was simply unimaginable. The method of sealing the world could not withstand it at all. He was blown to pieces in an instant. And two escaping lights, one black and one white, seized this gap.
, hurriedly flew towards the distance.
"Second brother... only if you leave can we have a chance for revenge." Sun Xuexiu stuffed his storage magic weapon into the arms of the Alchemy Crow, turned around and transformed into a huge white crane, all white.
It's like snow, and there are countless snowflakes flying around the wings, which is so beautiful.
She did not run away again, but turned around and rushed towards the pursuers.
Infinite anger rose from the bottom of his heart and turned into a ball of flames, surrounding him. The big golden bird that was originally galloping in the sky instantly turned into a blazing firebird.
"A non-gentleman who refuses to retaliate will have a near-death experience in trying to reach the realm of immortality. No one dares to say that he will definitely succeed. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the present to avenge any grudges and repay injustices."
After making up his mind, the huge firebird let out a long and angry cry, roared across the sky, and flew towards the Langya Kingdom.
Because of its anger, it exuded a terrifying aura along the way, making countless creatures tremble and tremble in fear wherever it passed, no matter the mountains or the rivers and seas, no matter the human race, demon race or alien race.
There were also some strong men who felt that their majesty had been challenged and flew up angrily, wanting to cause trouble for him. But the Alchemy Crow's flying speed was too fast. When those strong men rose into the air, they could no longer see his figure, even if they barely chased him.
Going up there, there was no way to really catch up, so I had to give up in frustration.
The Alchemy Crow kept flying and flying like this. After flying for less than half a month, it finally reached Langya Kingdom.
