Chapter 445: The Ultimate Sacrifice
Chapter 445: The Ultimate Sacrifice
Changing the root structure has a bit of a snowball effect.
Recalling the scene when he first changed his bones, Li Yuan felt quite touched. Now, he could perfect a middle-to-low-level martial art at a very fast speed even without the corresponding weapon.
One day of practice is equivalent to Fatty Sun’s thirty years of hard practice.
"Perhaps within a year, we will be able to gather all the Thousand Forms."
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
If it was just the peerless talent after the blessing of the two Heavenly Profound Arms, he estimated that Qianxing would need another two years, but with the combination of magical weapons such as the Mirage Dragon Belt and the Red Blood Pattern Dragon Armor,
He was confident that he could gather a thousand forms within a year, or even less.
"After gathering a thousand forms, you still need to practice the 'Soldier Cultivation Sutra' and the 'Elixir Cultivation Sutra' to the fifth level..."
Li Yuan was quite excited. The step-by-step improvement and transformation made him feel very good and he did not feel bored at all.
The conditions for completely mastering the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer and the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace are currently the farthest apart from those two martial arts.
"The Art of Raising Soldiers and the Art of Raising Pills."
Li Yuan muttered to himself, and these two mysterious martial arts naturally came to mind.
In the past two months, he had been taking part in the true teaching trials of the two major relic sects every now and then. Since Ying Xuanpeng, he had not encountered any obstacles. Relying on his body skills, he had obtained six kinds of pill recipes, more than twenty expired pills, and three Black Whale Fighting Hammers.
Half of the Military Nurturing Sutra and the Alchemy Sutra have also been completed.
hum~
In the place of spiritual light, the shadows of all beasts dissipated and turned into human figures sitting cross-legged.
Like several other magical skills, the foundation of these two relic sects' magical skills is also spiritual. If one wants to cultivate to the fifth level, one needs to achieve the divine realm.
"Without spiritual presence, I can only cultivate these two martial arts to the second level at most, or even only the first level..."
Li Yuan pondered in his heart.
During the two months or so, he had gained a deep understanding of the Sea-Splitting Divine Text and had also mastered the two magical skills. However, he was limited by his own realm and had not yet cultivated to the first level.
"If you want to cultivate to the fifth level, you must enter the Dao. After entering the Dao, your bones and bones are fixed and cannot be changed..."
His mind changed as he looked towards the space where troops were in control.
In a corner of the grey stone platform, there were four Black Whale Hammers. These were the standard heavy hammers of the Black Whale Sect. The effects of controlling them were similar, but one of them was blessed with the effect of the "Third Level of Military Training Sutra".
"Since there is a triple blessing, there must be a fifth blessing. As long as I can get a weapon with this blessing, I will be able to completely control the Black Whale Hammer."
Li Yuan was already familiar with this kind of operation. Many years ago, he used this method to control those scrolls of fundamental maps.
The same principle applies to the dragon and tiger health stove.
Currently, the only thing restraining him is still Qianxing.
"call!"
While his mind was wandering and pondering these two martial arts, Li Yuan switched to the previous volume of 'The Fundamental Diagram of the Spiritual Ape Steps', transformed his visualization, and continued to change his physique.
He had already achieved great attainments in the orthodox method of worshipping gods, and when practicing middle-level and lower-level martial arts, he no longer needed to practice each move one by one. He could just visualize in his mind, and his muscles and bones would naturally vibrate and change.
On New Year's Eve, Li Yuan still maintained his usual schedule.
When it was getting light, I lay down and listened to the music as usual.
hum~
Wisps of incense from the first and second levels that did not enter the steps sank into the wooden tablets and finger notes for listening, and all kinds of listening sounds echoed in the sea of heart.
Li Yuan's mind was scattered, but it fell on the wooden talisman.
"It is currently a long way off for the Palm Sound Scroll to advance to the seventh level..."
Li Yuan did not have two hundred strands of sixth-level incense, and over the past few days, he had not found any information about the middle-aged man carrying the Yunxiang Ding.
[Number of times you listen to the heavenly sound: 1]
After the Palm Sound Talisman is promoted to the sixth level, one can still listen to the Heavenly Sound only once every nine months. The difference is that these times can be accumulated.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to use it.
"Hopefully something useful will come out."
Li Yuan changed his mind, and a dark light surged up, enveloping him.
……
Night, forest.
When~
In a trance, Li Yuan heard a deep bell sound, accompanied by the sounds of birds and wind chimes.
"Where is this?"
Li Yuan came back to his senses and looked around.
At this moment, he was in a mountain forest. There was a light snow in the night, but the surrounding vegetation was very different from those in the Longhu Mountains, and many of them he had never seen before.
In the distance, the sound of bells echoed, wisps of smoke drifted in the night, reflecting the snowflakes, and vaguely it could be seen that it was an ancient temple.
"A temple in the mountains?"
Li Yuan frowned slightly.
Unlike the previous life, all the temples in Dayun were built for the purpose of worship. They were not located in the city, but mostly near towns and villages. There were very few temples in the deep mountains and forests.
"what?"
When Li Yuan was thinking, he suddenly turned around as if he had realized something. In the night and light snow, he saw an extremely dazzling light, strands of golden light, and even a faint red light.
It's not the light of weapons, but the light of incense?
"So many incense sticks? And ninth-level incense sticks?"
Li Yuan's heart was startled. He heard footsteps not far away. A thin and emaciated middle-aged man, carrying a large tripod as tall as a person, walked out of the dense forest.
"What a coincidence?"
With just one glance, Li Yuan knew that this was the person he had heard before, and what was even more coincidental was that the person's aura was quite familiar.
"Is it... is it the skeleton that was smashed by the old dragon head before?"
After thinking about it, Li Yuan recognized the person carrying the tripod, it was Bone King Kong.
The gods on the Dayun Gods List are divided into three categories: Dharma Master, Boy, and Master. As one of the four Dharma protectors, Bone Vajra is one of the most famous evil gods after the Dharma Master.
"Old thing, old beast..."
Bone King Kong walked with heavy steps, cursing, carrying the tripod towards the ancient temple in the distance.
Li Yuan followed quietly. The light of the incense was really dazzling. He took a quick count and found that there were more than 300 incense sticks of level 7 and above, more than 40 of level 8, and as many as five of level 9.
There are tens of thousands below the sixth level.
"So many..." Li Yuan was a little unable to move his eyes away, but soon, he moved his eyes away and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, trying to find something recognizable to determine the location here.
"Cloud vanilla."
After walking for a while, Li Yuan finally found a herb with regional characteristics:
"This kind of herb usually grows in the Yunmeng Lake. Is this the territory of the Yunmeng Dao and Changhong Sword Sect?"
Li Yuan looked around, trying to find a more accurate sign.
The Bone King Kong suddenly stopped cursing and arrived in front of the ancient temple.
when!
The bells echoed.
Li Yuan looked up. A large number of wild birds gathered in the sky above the ancient temple and flew around the temple. The wind blew snow and the strings of wind chimes swayed under the eaves of the temple.
Deep mountains, ancient temples, flocks of birds, wind chimes, and the faint candlelight.
“It’s a bit creepy.”
Li Yuan murmured in his heart, this doesn't look like a good place.
Arriving here, Bone King Kong frowned and walked forward, knocking open the temple door. Li Yuan, who followed closely, also saw the familiar statue.
The solemn and dignified Bodhisattva is holding a Dharma seal with a smile on his lips, but he looks frightening, for this is because the Bodhisattva is covered with eyeballs that look lifelike and seem to be blinking.
[Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva Statue (Tenth Level)]
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? 】
A tenth-level statue.
Li Yuan felt a little scared. Wasn't this the place where the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva's real body was?
bang~
Bone King Kong put down the big tripod:
"The incense is all here, where are the people?!"
His voice was loud, like thunder, but the flock of birds circling above the temple were not affected, and there was no echo in the ancient temple.
It was the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva statue that blinked.
Thousands of eyes blinked and looked over.
"Shh!"
In an instant, Li Yuan felt a chill down his spine. Even in this state, he couldn't help but feel nervous. This statue was more terrifying than any other he had ever seen.
'I'm about to have a trypophobia attack!'
Li Yuan shifted his gaze, not because he was afraid, but because he felt some physical and mental discomfort.
Not only him, Bone King Kong couldn't bear it either. He rubbed his arms and thighs fiercely, and it felt like goose bumps appeared all over his body:
"Master... Master, are you here?"
The Bone King Kong's voice suddenly dropped eight tones, like a quail, and even seemed a little trembling.
"Wait outside the temple."
The androgynous voice echoed, and Bone King Kong said nothing, turned around and left the temple.
Li Yuan did not move, but he did not raise his eyes either. The appearance of the statue really made him uncomfortable. But soon, he could not help but raise his head, because the statue spoke:
"I never thought that I would see someone from my old place again... The breath of the Poison Dragon God, are you from the Poison Dragon Academy?"
Wow~
It was like thousands of lights lit up at once, turning the darkness into day.
Gan!
Li Yuan cursed inwardly, feeling as if his eyes were stinging. He forced himself to look back, suppressing the discomfort, and saw a person walking out of the shadows.
She was a woman with a graceful figure, her tight black dress outlining her beautiful figure. Even without looking at her facial features, one could feel a sense of charm and enchantment coming towards her.
She held up a large black umbrella, covering herself tightly, with surprise in her eyes:
"Who is your Excellency?"
"Qianling."
"laugh!"
The woman laughed: "Are you kidding me? Who is the Thousand Spirits Dharma Master? Why would he come here?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I am also a thousand spirits."
The statue spoke, and the voice was vague and heavy, which Li Yuan found very uncomfortable.
"is it?"
The woman curled her lips, but had no intention of pursuing the matter:
"My name is Chi Lian, and I am indeed from the Poison Dragon Academy. I wonder when you discovered me?"
"I noticed you falling from the sky."
The statue spoke: "You have come to pick up incense several times, and I have seen it all."
"Your Excellency has amazing eyesight."
Chi Lian looked at the big cauldron:
"Did your Excellency send this incense to me specially?"
"good."
The deity replied, “This is only the first bite.”
"Oh?"
Chi Lian was a little surprised. This Ding Yuan Fire was quite precious to her.
"What do you want, Your Excellency?"
"Major sacrifice to the Eight Directions Temple."
"Ok?"
Chi Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"More than a month ago, in the Divine Capital, Emperor Qian mobilized incense from all over the country, apparently to hold a grand sacrifice... If I am not mistaken, the person presiding over this grand sacrifice is also from the Poison Dragon Academy."
"Huang Longzi?!"
Chi Lian's eyes darkened, then calmed down:
"As far as I know, you don't have any Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers..."
The deity replied:
"You may have."
