Chapter 363 Sword Ancestor?
Do you regret it later?
Jiang Lin's turbid eyes were surging with golden light, and there seemed to be billowing flames surging under his withered skin.
"To be honest with you, senior, I am indeed a little scared." Jiang Lin smiled bitterly.
The more he practiced the Four Dharmas, the clearer his grasp of the general trend became.
In addition, during the past two years, when the Taiping Dao was in power, many immortal disciples who had inherited the tradition joined the Taiping Dao. Gradually, he also understood the true horror of this world.
Not to mention those secluded Golden Immortals, even those who have not yet entered the world are no match for him.
Using alchemy to melt the power of the gods' blessing into a Dharma image, after one hundred and eight days, there was no further progress!
He also tried to switch to a more powerful deity, but the power could only reach the Return to Void level at most...
Above that, it is out of reach.
As for his own cultivation, even with the help of the divine origin, he only made a small progress...
Of course, the pace of progress cannot be said to be slow.
But in this world, the overwhelming force is crushing and will never stop just because he can't do it.
How can I not be afraid when I think about my own demise...
"But..." Jiang Lin straightened his hunched back a little, "This is what my heart desires, I will never regret it even if I die!"
"It seems like you are saying this specifically for me." Hong Zun looked at him meaningfully.
"I dare not deceive you, Senior." He forced an ugly smile, which looked very scary with his wrinkled and withered face. "The reason I said this is that I really want to find a way out of this situation from you, Senior."
Jiang Lin was very calm.
Once those hidden masters and those who have not entered the world meet their demise, everything now will collapse.
Originally he had made all the arrangements and was ready to wait for death. After all, the power of the golden flame of the sun was beyond his ability to handle.
But the senior who taught me his method appeared again...
But it gave him hope of breaking the impasse again.
Hearing this, Hong Zun finally smiled.
"You are quite honest."
Having said that, he snapped his fingers.
A flash of inspiration fell on Jiang Lin.
raging!
In an instant, blazing flames seemed to surge within Jiang Lin's body, and his wide sleeves were blown up by the heat waves.
A dazzling golden light shone from its body, illuminating the entire quiet room.
But as the golden light gradually dimmed, the weed-like white hair gradually turned black in the process, and the wrinkles and age spots on the face slowly faded away.
The turbidity in his eyes disappeared, and his bright light was revealed, but it was all retracted in an instant.
In less than a moment, he recovered to his high-spirited appearance when he once stepped into the capital, defeated the dragon and destroyed the Tianfu, and shattered the five hundred years of fortune of the Datong Dynasty!
The golden flame of the sun can burn a person's life, but Hong Zun uses the golden flame of the sun as a foundation to restore their youth.
"Whoo~"
Jiang Lin took a deep breath and felt his body becoming brand new because the golden flame of the sun had completely disappeared. He also felt the image of the 108 Heavenly Gods of Taiping returning to his sea of consciousness. A hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Thank you, senior."
"No need to thank me. Everything started because of my teaching. Now it can be said that there is a beginning and an end." Hong Zun opened his hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his palm. He handed it over, "I give this mirror to you. The power contained in it can kill Tongxuan and the other two. It can also be regarded as completing the cause and effect between you and me."
Jiang Lin took the bronze mirror with a serious expression and extremely careful movements. After taking it seriously, he looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and hesitated to speak, but finally asked:
"Senior... is he above the level of Tongxuan Jinxian?"
Hong Zun glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Yes."
Sure enough!
After putting away the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is something higher than the profound in this world..."
It seems that the contents recorded in the ancient books unearthed by the Taiping Dao followers are also incomplete.
"When did I say that I was from this world?" Hong Zun said.
Jiang Lin paused.
Senior, aren’t you from this world?
"I came from a very distant world, but due to some accidents I left my original world and came to this world."
"As for the world I live in, you can call it——"
"Fairy world."
Fairyland?!
Jiang Lin was completely stunned, but then he thought of something else: "So the alchemy method I got is also..."
"It was taught by one of my fellow Taoists." Hong Zun stood up. "He Dao, Tong Xuan, and then Dong Zhen. Dong Zhen must be the ultimate enlightenment of Dao and break through the immortal gate. Only then can one become a true immortal."
Since we are all leaving, we might as well explain it all at once. This young man has a decent character and he won't go against Gao Wuyuan.
Only those who have attained the state of being a true immortal can become true immortals, so those hidden golden immortals...
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt something strange.
"I have answered all the questions in your mind, and we will say goodbye now."
Hongzun’s figure began to fade.
"Senior!" Jiang Lin asked hurriedly, "Can you give me another piece of that dry food?"
"..."
pat!
There was no echo, but a square, silver object with exquisite patterns printed on it fell to the ground.
It was the compressed biscuits that Hong Zun gave to him and his two little disciples when they first met.
A trace of nostalgia appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes, and he reached out and picked it up.
"The bronze mirror is only for assistance. This world is about to undergo a major change. If you want to achieve what you want, you can use it to your advantage."
A voice rang in my ears, and Hong Zun's figure had completely disappeared.
"The world... will undergo major changes?"
……
……
A few days later.
Most of the people in charge of the Taiping Dao in various places came to Chengming Mountain to visit the Taiping Daoist who was seriously injured in the attack by the Sun Star God.
Among them were some with ulterior motives who, under the pretext of visiting, tried to test Taoist Taiping, but ended up being outwitted by him.
The gods and spirits of the 108 Taiping Heavens once again displayed their divine power.
In a purge, thirty-five people with ulterior motives were killed, and one of them was a disciple of the Taoist priest Taiping.
The whole world was shocked.
Many Taoists speculated that Taoist Taiping had already reached the state of harmony with the Tao.
From that month on, the autumn wind was bleak and the world was peaceful.
However, behind the sky, a majestic and magnificent cave suddenly appeared, leading to the human world.
……
……
The world looks up behind the sky.
Looking at the extremely huge and majestic cave that looks like an ancient star.
There you can see dangerous peaks like swords and clusters of strange rocks, and auspicious beasts walking beside the spiritual springs.
The haze spreads its colors, and the sun and moon shine.
Among the thousands of old green cypresses, cranes cried, their voices reaching the sky. Above the clouds, phoenixes soared, bringing with them colorful clouds.
Next to the magnificent palaces that are scattered in an orderly manner, there are exotic flowers and auspicious grasses.
The flashes of swords were coming and going, and they were all graceful sword cultivators walking on swords.
And among the smoke and clouds, there sat a majestic being, with the sun and the moon as eyes, and clouds as a shawl, and between his knees lay a peerless divine sword that absorbed and exhaled infinite Taiming Gengjin Qi!
Taiming Yuandongtian!
The Golden Immortal of Tongxuan——Taiming Sword Ancestor!
Regardless of the level of their cultivation, even ordinary people who have never embarked on the path of Taoism can see everything in the Taiming Yuan Cave Heaven with extreme clarity!
At the same time, a huge voice sounded in the heart of everyone in the world.
"I am the Grandmaster of Taiming Sword. I am now spreading the teachings to the world. Regardless of origin or background, those with good physique and a qualified character can enter my Taiming Sword Palace!"
Boom!
It seemed to have crashed into the main world, and the heaven and earth shook!
The void shattered into pieces, and the Taiming Yuandongtian, as huge as the ancient stars, was slowly entering the main world!
At the same time, a method was circulating in the hearts of every living being between heaven and earth—"Tai Ming Alchemy Technique"!
Draw the metal energy of heaven and earth to temper the bones. After cultivation, people will be as sharp as a god, with astonishing killing power and unparalleled attack!
emm...
But why does it feel worse than “Taiping Spirit Refining Method”?
Some soldiers of the Taiping Dao felt the Dharma flowing in their hearts and were somewhat puzzled.
"The Taiming Alchemy Technique..."
The top of Chengming Mountain.
Jiang Lin also felt the Dharma flowing in his heart, stroking an ancient bronze mirror in his hand with a solemn expression.
"Refine your body into a weapon, a magic method!"
With his current level of cultivation, he can naturally see the true purpose of "Tai Ming Alchemy Art"!
For those who practice this method, after drawing the metal energy of heaven and earth to cleanse their bodies, their bones will gradually be refined, and their flesh, blood, spiritual power and even their souls will be refined into their bones.
Eventually, the flesh and blood will dry up, the form and soul will disappear, but the remaining bones will become a fine sword embryo!
The first cave-heaven that came to the world was such a demonic sect.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Jiang Lin still felt a chill in his heart when he actually saw it.
"Tai Ming Sword Ancestor..."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiang Lin activated the "Divine Control Technique" and asked the many guardian gods of Taiping Dao to pass on the matter.
However, the guardian deity of Taiping Dao has just taken action!
Om-!
There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, and the boundless and bright light spread across the entire sky.
In the majestic cave, there was a magnificent being sitting among the smoke and clouds, with the eyes of the sun and the moon looking down at him.
Boom!
The void was distorted at this moment, the rules were reversed, and the law no longer existed. The power contained within it was enough to crush the Sun Star Lord into a quail!
But...it's okay.
The bronze mirror in Jiang Lin's hand emitted a faint light, easily blocking that gaze.
"interesting……"
A chuckle, soft and gentle, yet heroic and majestic, like a whisper, and like a loud shout.
Finally, a peaceful voice sounded in my ears: "Master Taiping, you can be my disciple."
The voice that sounded seemed to carry the power to distort cognition and change the rules, as if it wanted to impose a rule between heaven and earth that "Taiping Taoist is the direct disciple of Taiming Sword Ancestor."
The power of Tongxuan is fully displayed!
To Taiming Sword Master, most things in the world are meaningless; only things that interest him are meaningful.
The Taoist priest who held his gaze was very interesting.
However, the faint light emitted from the ancient bronze mirror easily blocked everything.
Seeing that he had failed again, his interest grew, and when he was about to do something else...
Ding--!
A crisp sound echoed between heaven and earth without any warning, as if something tense had finally broken.
If a true immortal were to listen carefully, he would discover that those were actually three sounds overlapping each other.
The emperors in the Heavenly Palace, the many hidden masters, and even the Taiming Sword Ancestor, all stopped at this moment and began to use their methods to investigate the source of this inexplicable sound.
Of course, no one had any hope. After all, there were still no clues after many investigations before.
Just when everyone lost hope...
This time they followed the sound with great ease and saw a sitting figure.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and straight posture.
Between his knees was a long sword that was completely red and glowed with the light of fire.
The shadow of the red moon lit up, and it seemed to contain all the sword techniques of ancient and modern times.
Feeling a bit confused.
Then I felt that all the scenes were constantly peeling off and rising.
All around, an eternally silent void was spreading, and everything was dark.
Before my eyes, a boundless river with no beginning or end is rushing.
The rumbling sound of water was like countless sword practitioners competing with each other in sword skills, and the surging waves seemed like countless long swords were unsheathed and struck the sky.
From ancient times to the present, whether light or heavy, simple or profound, all sword techniques have evolved and manifested in it.
At the end of the long river of swordsmanship, it is held in the palm of a majestic and boundless being.
The light from the sword's edge illuminates all directions, as if cutting off everything. All the laws and principles that have existed since time immemorial are trembling under its supreme edge.
No matter how they peered, they could only see a small part of the hand holding the long river of sword.
That existence, which seemed like the embodiment of Tao and Fa, the source of the world's swordsmanship, was something they could not even glimpse!
Buzz~!
Amid the sound of the sword, all the strange visions were shattered, and the many profound perceptions could no longer see the figure just now.
However, in this world, a line of red light appeared and split Qingming, as if it was going to cut the entire world in half!
Above a line of red light, a figure stood in the air, holding a red sword with the light of fire in his hand.
From a distance it appears to be no bigger than an ordinary person, but in the perception of the living beings in the world, that figure is boundless and vast, filling the universe, and the world cannot bear its weight!
Sword Ancestor!
On the top of Chengming Mountain, Jiang Lin also stood there in a daze.
Another Sword Master?
Then, he found that the Sword Master who appeared later was looking at him.
Wherever you look, the world changes.
The moment Sword Ancestor's gaze fell on him, even the center of heaven and earth shifted to where he was.
"well done."
As the voice sounded, the light of the fire lit up, and Jiang Lin felt a ray of light red light falling down.
"I will give you another sword mark, which can kill Tongxuan."
The voice was not concealed at all and spread in all directions, so it was impossible for many people to not hear it.
Upon hearing this, Tai Ming Sword Master's face turned green.
Can Tongxuan be killed?
Master Sword Ancestor, who are you targeting?
You are the ancestor of us sword cultivators, shouldn’t you take care of us sword cultivators?
At worst, I won’t be called Sword Master anymore!
Hong Zun: “…”
We both gave gifts, and your time is one less than mine, so why are you making such a big scene?
Didn’t you say, brother, to keep a low profile?
How are you being low-key?
After Xu Xing finished doing all this, he opened his hands and took out an ascension platform.
The golden and white ascension platform was quietly suspended in the palm of his hand, but it was another one.
"Mastering the Mystery is not the end of cultivation."
This kind of process has been done many times before, so Xu Xing is naturally familiar with it.
In a split second, all the people in the world who have attained the state of Tongxuan, Hedao, and Fanxu felt an extremely terrifying sharp edge pressing against their brows, as if the slightest movement would wipe them out from the root! (End of this chapter)
