Chapter 660: Seventh-Level Tribulation Palm (Two-in-One)

Only five people in one generation?
On the other side of the light curtain, Yu Huanzhen had a smile on her face. She was asking a rhetorical question, but it was actually an answer.

Li Yuan's heart moved for a moment, and he guessed what she meant. It was nothing more than that he was the only one left, and she could help him or something.

"This junior fellow is really patient."

Seeing that Li Yuan still didn't answer, Yu Huanzhen found it interesting: "What are you thinking, Junior Brother? Are you thinking that Senior Sister is tempting you with benefits to ask you to do something extremely dangerous?"

if not?
Li Yuan said nothing, but his meaning was self-evident.

Lingshu Boy had kept his mouth shut about refining the Demon Sword. Now that he knew it would only be passed down to five people in one generation, Li Yuan would be lying if he said he wasn't curious, but he was just curious.

The Dongxuan Mountain has a generation of one thousand years, and in their generation, there are already five people who have inherited the true teachings. The magic sword must be difficult to practice or there is some danger, otherwise it would not be the turn of Yu Wangxian and Yu Huanzhen.

Therefore, Li Yuan changed his mind slightly and calmed down.

Master Li Dao was always a patient person. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Sister, why don't you tell me what you want me to do first?"

Let’s talk about the situation first. If it’s not dangerous, then we can talk about the price. If it’s dangerous, then forget it.

Of course Li Yuan would not say this, but Yu Huanzhen could see it. She was speechless and thought for a while before saying:

"According to the rules of Dongxuan Mountain, you have not received the permission of the master, so I cannot tell you the secrets of practicing the Demon Sword... Well, let me put it this way, my Demon Sword has reached a critical juncture, and what I want you to do is related to this."

It sounds dangerous indeed...

Li Yuan complained in his heart and tried to ask: "Senior sister wants to hire me to refine the spirit sword?"

"That's pretty much what it means, but it's not a ritual, it's..."

Even though they were just talking with the General Knowledge Ball, Yu Huanzhen still subconsciously lowered his voice:
"Refining the devil!"

"Demon refining?"

Li Yuan's heart was shocked, and he felt vaguely that this might involve the secret of the Five Demon Swords.

"Due to the sect's rules, I can't say more."

Yu Huanzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I can only say that this matter may be a little dangerous for you, but it will also be of great benefit to you, regardless of whether you will be able to refine the Devil-killing Immortal Sword in the future..."

The Immortal Sword?
This is a disguised way of telling me that there is only one spot left for the Demonic Five Swords.

Li Yuan was thinking about something in his heart. He rarely felt the "sincerity" of this senior sister. After thinking for a while, he asked:

"My senior sister was born in the sea of ​​boatmen, also known as the front row of the class. She is an amazing figure who is expected to inherit the true teachings. I'm afraid that thousands of people will rush to work for her with just one word. Why are you looking for me?"

"Junior brother, you underestimate yourself."

Having said that, Yu Zhenzhen didn't mind saying a few more words:

"Nothing else, that place of magic refining not only has strict requirements on the realm of those entering, but also on their talents..."

"I see."

Li Yuan already had some guesses about the place where demons were refined. It was either in another dimension or it was a strange place.

Only in such a strange place would there be such strange rules.

"May I ask, Senior Sister, what are the specific restrictions of that demon refining ground?"

Li Yuan asked again.

"The fifth realm is not accessible."

Yu Huanzhen’s words are concise and to the point.

"...Junior brother, I am only at the second level."

Li Yuan was speechless. Is this a bit dangerous?!
"With your talent, it will take you at most ten years to reach the third realm. If you can refine some Taoist weapons, you may be able to compete with the fourth realm."

Yu Huanzhen didn't push him too hard. He just said, 'Junior brother, practice well. I'll come find you when you reach the third realm.' Then the light and shadow of the general knowledge ball dissipated.

"I have Dao soldiers, but don't the fourth realm cultivators have any?"

Li Yuan shook his head in his heart.

He suspected that if he had not been very resistant, this senior sister would have probably immediately given him a team of Taoist soldiers and allowed him to go to the demon refining ground at the second level.

"A place for refining demons that cannot be entered by the five realms..."

Li Yuan wrote down all of Yu Huanzhen's words. Anyway, he didn't agree. As for coming to find him after reaching the third realm, they would talk about it then.

“If we can combine a complete Sky-Escape Boat and train a team of fourth-level Taoist soldiers, we may not be unable to go to the Demon Refining Land, a place that a quasi-true disciple would care about…”

Li Yuan thought about it and immediately opened the general knowledge ball interface for visiting friends.

After a little consideration, he greeted Lingshu Xiantong, told him the four spells he had chosen, and asked about the precautions for practicing the spells.

Finally, he pretended to casually mention the place where demons were refined.

"The place of demons?!"

In the quiet bamboo forest, immersed in the myriad phenomena of the universe, Lingshu Boy, who only had a trace of his mind to talk to Li Yuan, was shocked:
"Where did you know about the Demon Refining Ground?"

"This……"

Li Yuan looked embarrassed and stammered without saying anything.

"Is it Yu Wangxian's big beard?!"

Lingshu boy was immediately furious. Even though Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly, he could not help but have a stereotype in his mind and was certain that it was Yu Wangxian, so he started cursing.

"Could it be that the one who called Lingshu Tongzi 'hairy with horns' was Yu Wangxian?"

Master Li Dao was very insightful. He could tell at a glance that Lingshu Tongzi was not standing up for him, but had been dissatisfied with Senior Brother Yu for a long time.

"You can't go to the Demon Refining Land."

After venting his anger, Lingshu Daotong calmed down:
"The sword of refining demons and slaying immortals, as the name suggests, refines demons first and slays immortals later. If I want to refine this sword..."

At this point, Lingshu Daotong suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, so he stopped talking and warned Li Yuan: "Only a cultivator of the fourth realm with extraordinary talent and endowment can refine this sword. With your humble cultivation, you must not get involved in this matter!"

"Thank you for your guidance, I understand."

Seeing that what he said was serious, Li Yuan responded solemnly.

"You are lucky. The bookworm who recommended the spells to you did not deceive you. These four spells are all top-notch in terms of power and potential. Just concentrate on practicing the spells. No one in Dongxuan Mountain dares to force you!"

Lingshu Daotong let slip another secret: "You entered the door by receiving the divine fire, not..."

"Ok?"

Li Yuan was slightly shocked, but realizing that he had spoken out of turn, Lingshu Xiantong ended the conversation.

"Not what? Not an ordinary disciple?"

Li Yuan suddenly thought of Dong Ershisan, who seemed to have vaguely mentioned that entering the door through the Guiding Divine Fire was different from other ways of entering the door.

"It should be related to the true teachings of promotion!"

Li Yuan took note of the incident but was not in a hurry to get to the bottom of it.

Dongxuan Mountain is different from Longhu Temple. The promotion to the true teachings is extremely demanding. No matter how gifted one is, it is impossible to achieve true teachings in the second realm.

……

Six hundred and sixty-six levels of small cave.

If Li Yuan were here, he would be able to see that this small cave belonging to Yu Huanzhen was more than ten times larger than his own, and it was obvious that it had incorporated many fragments of other dimensions.

In this small cave, many exotic beasts are kept in captivity among the rolling mountains, many magical rices are planted on the endless plains, and magical fish swim in the rivers.

Thousands of spirit puppets and Taoist soldiers roamed everywhere, watering spirit rice, cultivating spirit fields, catching spirit fish, and brewing spirit wine...

In the middle of Xiaodongtian, on top of a strange peak called "Yushan", Yu Huanzhen sat quietly in a pavilion on the edge of the cliff and sipped tea.

"how?"

After finishing the conversation, Yu Huanzhen suddenly asked.

Behind her head, the Sunlight Mirror flickered with a faint light, and she exclaimed:
"This person is cautious and prudent, respectful but not fearful, not tempted by profit nor frightened by strong men. He is a true cultivator."

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Those who seek only a moment will die in that moment, and those who take risks often die in danger. This Junior Brother Li is indeed a cultivator."

Yu Huanzhen gently turned the teacup:

"He has great talent and a good character. If he is cultivated, even if he cannot be promoted to a higher position, he will surely be able to cultivate 'Fa Tian' in the future."

The dark red mirror trembled slightly:

"Then what do you mean?"

"He has been a disciple for less than a month, but he has suddenly inherited the teachings and has done a lot of good deeds. It is difficult for him to be tempted by money, but as long as he is determined to inherit the teachings, it will be a matter of time before I do."

Yu is really sure.

She walked along the way, first paying homage to the boatman Hai, then to Dongxuanshan, and heard from the side that she had entered the fifth room. Even with the boatman Hai supporting her from behind, she still had to take risks many times.

If she is like this, how can Li Yuan be an exception?
"Perhaps he is an ascetic?"

The Sun-Reflecting Mirror trembled slightly.

"Dharma, wealth, companions and land are the essentials for cultivation. He can't even afford to exchange for a great sutra. How can he practice so hard? The little offerings within the sect can't raise a real dragon!"

Yu Huanzhen waved his hand and said:
"Li Yuan will put it on hold for now, but we can't stop exploring the Demon Refining Land. Let's send others in first, and we need to prepare enough Taoist soldiers!"

"Yes!"

……

hum~
The sea of ​​my heart is surging and the waves are rising.

Li Yuan activated the 'Five Senses Set' to bless himself, and looked into the distance in the sea of ​​​​heart.

Faintly, one can see a dark sea of ​​stars, with giant trees taking root in it, canopying the universe, and galaxies rotating and transforming among their branches and leaves.

After the three elements were united into one and the magic power was refined, Li Yuan looked at the Qingdi Longevity Sutra again, and felt it was mysterious, vast and boundless, like looking at a sea of ​​stars.

"This Eastern Green Emperor Longevity Scripture is really hard to fathom. It is indeed a Scripture-level technique. It is so difficult to get started with my current talent. If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would be no hope of getting started..."

After a long time, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling that he was exhausted.

Reading the sutra once is like fighting a battle with someone.

“It’s not like we gained nothing.”

Li Yuan regained his composure a little, took out his disciple token, and gently looked at the hundreds of books he had borrowed from the Sutra Library.

Wow~
Li Yuan was multitasking, flipping through several books.

Among the books he borrowed this time, except for some about magic, most of them were related to the Qingdi Changsheng Sutra. Shu Haoshou had indeed recommended it with all his heart, and among them were many experiences of cultivators who practiced the Changsheng Sutra.

"Combining the three elements into one and cultivating mana is the basic condition for practicing this great scripture. And the mana cultivated is preferably the 'water method' or the 'wood method'..."

"The first step in practicing the Longevity Sutra is to plant trees!"

"Choose a suitable tree species, and nurture it with magic power until its spirit and soul merge with your own, then move it into the divine realm... Use the soul as soil, the magic as water, and then collect various divine patterns to support its growth. When the trees are towering, you have entered the realm..."

……

Li Yuan was reading these cultivation experiences. He did not blindly believe in any one of them, but compared them with many, analyzing and chewing them in his mind, analyzing the various difficulties and techniques of cultivating this great sutra.

No matter which book of experience it is, no matter whether the person is practicing water magic, wood magic, or even fire magic, the first step to enter this great sutra is to plant trees.

"With God as soil and Dharma as water, no wonder I gained nothing from reading this sutra before I achieved the breakthrough of unity..."

Li Yuan read it very seriously, word by word.

The price of these insights in the Sutra Repository was very low, but they were very precious to him. He not only read them word by word, but even memorized the 'signatories' of these insights.

With the ability to multitask and the support of his five senses, Li Yuan memorized all the insights in just one day.

He still felt a little unsatisfied, so he went to the Sutra Repository again. This time, he wanted to borrow and exchange the insights of his fellow brothers who had practiced this sutra in the same generation or recent generations as him.

Dongxuan Mountain strongly supports disciples in creating new methods and performing good deeds. Works such as insights can be included in the Sutra Repository after being judged by bookworms. Not only will they be rewarded with good deeds, but part of the good deeds contributed by subsequent viewers will also go to the creator of the book.

"There are not many people in the sect who practice the Qing Emperor's Longevity Sutra..."

Li Yuan looked through the notes on the newly borrowed book, but found nothing surprising.

There are less than two hundred disciples in the present generation at Dongxuan Mountain. Even if the previous four generations are included, there are only over a thousand people. There are even fewer people who practice the Qing Emperor's Longevity Sutra.

And most of them are disciples.

He searched back and forth for a long time, and found that among the five generations of disciples of Dongxuan Mountain, there were only three people who were auditors or nominal disciples who practiced this sutra...

“The step of planting trees is pretty much the same.”

Li Yuan compared the experiences of many senior brothers and found that the biggest difference lies in the spiritual tree they chose.

Among them, the most chosen one is naturally the black vine snake.

Among many spiritual trees, this snake is only average in potential and power, but because it is easy to cultivate and has the advantage of being movable, most people choose this snake.

Of course, there is another thing that was not explicitly mentioned in the experience, but Li Yuan guessed it, that is, if the Qing Emperor's Longevity Sutra fails, the cost of changing to another practice will be lower.

Next are the superior tree species such as "Yuanshu", "Yanbu" and "Bodhi". There are many descriptions about this kind of tree species in my opinion. In short, each has its own magic, advantages and disadvantages.

"For me, the Black Vine Snake is also the most suitable."

Comparing various spiritual trees, Li Yuan also felt that the Black Vine Snake was very good. It was like a tree, a vine, and a snake, and was easy to transplant. Moreover, the most people used this tree to practice the Green Emperor's Longevity Sutra.

The last one is very important to Li Yuan.

There is no other reason. The black vine snake is half spiritual plant and half snake, and snakes have snake sheds!
"If I can control the snake skin, then I can complete the Qing Emperor's Longevity Sutra in a very short time. Using the water method to nourish the wood method, my magic power can also be transformed to the upper level!"

"If you can cultivate the top-grade magic power of wood magic, it won't delay your practice of the Black Emperor's Abyss Sutra later. Just like Senior Brother Gu Xuansheng, you can practice both water and wood magic!"

Li Yuan was deeply impressed by this Senior Brother Gu.

It was not only because he also practiced the Water and Wood Sutra, but also because he was the first disciple to be admitted to the sect in the contemporary era. When the Taoist Lingshu recommended him to practice magic, he mentioned him more than once.

"I will continue to practice the technique and ask if any of my fellow brothers have any snake sloughs..."

After writing down all the cultivators' experiences, Li Yuan had a plan in mind and began to study the four books of spells.

The practice of magic is somewhat similar to the cultivation of magic power. It still requires collecting scenery and tracing divine patterns, and finally condensing divine prohibitions. Using the divine realm to carry it is the entry point.

The difficulty still lies in how to condense the divine prohibition.

"For me, the most troublesome part of practicing magic is still picking divine runes... This is the only inconvenience in Dongxuan Mountain. There are no divine runes to buy..."

After explaining many spells in detail, Li Yuan no longer had any confusion about refining spells. However, practicing spells was much more troublesome than practicing martial arts, as it mainly involved picking divine patterns.

Dongxuan Mountain is very large, with four seas, nine layers of Gangfeng Heaven, and endless islands. It is also rich in resources for cultivation, such as spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, and spiritual pills, which can be purchased freely.

But Dongxuan Mountain is very small.

Not counting the disciples of previous generations, there are less than 200 disciples of the same generation, and most of them are not in the mountains, so many things are nowhere to be bought.

"There are ninety-three immortal cities in Tianshiyuan. Each of them is crowded with cultivators. All kinds of cultivation materials are available. The business of divine patterns is also very mature. At least it is much more convenient to practice magic..."

Li Yuan shook his head in his heart, but he actually understood that this was his own fault.

His realm was too low when he entered Dongxuan Mountain, and the divine patterns he needed were not within the range of what his senior brothers could pick.

……

……

The space for holding troops is a gray stone platform.

On the human robbery platform, Li Yuan was sitting and fishing with a white human robbery rod in his hand. He was multitasking, and while holding the rod, he was also thinking about the several magic spells he had learned.

"Whoo~"

At a certain moment, Li Yuan felt something in his heart and heard a subtle sound in the darkness:
"Took the bait!"

Feeling the trembling of the rod in his hand, Li Yuan, an experienced fisherman, remained motionless. After a moment, he saw the right moment and pulled the rod hard.

With a loud "whoosh", a giant python that was more than ten feet long was thrown onto the gray stone platform. Although it had died, it was still convulsing.

"Another vicious black python!"

Li Yuan felt speechless, the randomness of the human robbery platform was even greater than that of the palm sound talisman.

This black python had not entered the country. In terms of value, it was almost the same as the 'Seventh-Level Incense' he used as bait. It could only be said that he had made no loss.

And he has already caught more than a dozen black pythons in succession.

"It's not a loss, I can give the black vine snake a snack."

After comforting himself, Li Yuan put down his fishing rod. He felt that he was unlucky today and it was not a good day for fishing.

but……

"You can now advance to the next level with the Palm of Tribulation!"

Li Yuan felt a little comforted, and without hesitation, he chose to advance to the level of Palm of Tribulation.

Boom!

Almost at the same time as he thought about it, a familiar loud noise exploded from the depths of his soul.

Even though Li Yuan had already been promoted to unity, he still felt a darkness before his eyes. The ocean in the Niwan Palace shook violently, with huge waves. The Kunpeng spirit hidden in the seabed seemed to be frightened and let out a roar.

"This sound is still powerful enough!"

Li Yuan groaned, but he did not faint immediately like before. He even had some consciousness left in his mind to observe the space for controlling the weapons.

However, the gray stone platform was seen shaking violently and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, while outside the stone platform, the deep darkness covered by the weapon-holding talisman was rolling like boiling water.

After a long time, the shaking subsided.

Li Yuan took a long time to enter the stone platform. He looked around and found that the stone platform had doubled in size just like before, but there was nothing new.

"Could that loud noise come from the depths of Guixu?"

Staring at the heart-pounding darkness, this thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

He has been a student at Dongxuan Mountain for three months. Even though he is unable to borrow books every day due to his limited funds, he has gained a deep understanding of various things related to spiritual practice.

For example, Youjing and Guixu.

The surface of Guixu is Youjing, and the deepest part of Youjing is Guixu.

The land of Guixu is mysterious and strange, with endless different dimensions existing in it.

Li Yuan had some suspicion that the loud noise he heard when he was promoted to the highest level might have come from some different dimension. Of course, it was just a guess in his mind.

[Seventh-level palm calamity talisman]

[Number of days that can be robbed: 10 (once every years)]

[Already opened: Human Robbery Platform (Level 7)]

[Robbery 300 times (seventh level), mastering the robbery scroll can be promoted to the eighth level]

"There is no substantial change, but after the Palm of Tribulation Scroll is promoted to the seventh level, it should meet the conditions for holding the Heavenly Scroll Ceremony, right?"

Li Yuan said to himself that although he was not surprised by his promotion to the fourth level, he was still looking forward to it.

"…In a small cave somewhere in Dongxuan Mountain, a precious mirror shines brightly in the void, reflecting a map of seeking the secluded place. Amidst the guards of many Taoist soldiers, a familiar figure is cautiously exploring in the darkness…"

After the loud noise after the promotion of the Palm of Tribulation Talisman disappeared, the sound of listening came at the right time. Except for the first few days after he entered Dongxuan Mountain, Li Yuan had never stopped listening.

"Treasure mirror, Xunyou? Could it be Yu Huanzhen?"

Hearing this sound, Li Yuan's heart was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but think of the "Sun-Reflecting Treasure Mirror" that he saw when he was brought to Yu Huanzhen's cave that day.

The precious mirror has the ability to discern reality and escape into the void. If he didn't have the Weapon Control Talisman on him, he might not be able to detect the spying of the precious mirror.

"Since this is about the Demon-Refining and Immortal-Slaying Sword, Yu Huanzhen will naturally not look for only me."

The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. He continued to listen, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything further.

The listening range of the Palm Sound Talisman is closely related to him. Since he entered Dongxuan Mountain, he has heard a lot about the listening sounds of various small caves in Dongxuan Mountain.

But most of them are only about Xiaodongtian, and it is rare to hear information about other senior brothers.

Li Yuan was somewhat confused about this, but he got the answer from the Sutra Library, which was the "hiding magic", which, as the name suggests, means hiding one's form.

There are many such spells in the Sutra Repository, and all disciples of Dongxuan Mountain will practice one or more of them. The reason is that with such spells, one can avoid the curses from a distance and even the secrets of heaven.

Li Yuan tried it many times later and found that whenever the listening involved such monks, the quality of the listening would drop sharply.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan heard another message about the disciples of Dongxuan Mountain.

"...Dongxuan Mountain's nominal disciple 'Qi Yun' has gained good fortune in the other dimension 'Xuan Yin Realm' and is preparing to return to Dongxuan Mountain to practice 'Fa Tian' in seclusion..."

"Fa Tian!"

Li Yuan's heart was shocked, but he reacted immediately.

The most complicated type of disciples in Dongxuan Mountain are the nominal disciples. They are either related to the true disciples of previous generations, or they are powerful people from the heavens and realms who come to avoid disasters.

This kind of nominal disciples are really just nominal disciples.

"Fatiha."

Li Yuan wrote down the name of this nominal senior brother and planned to add him as a friend before he got promoted:

"If we can persuade this senior brother, moving the Great Fortune Star won't be a problem."

Li Yuan continued to listen.

But unfortunately, apart from these two listenings, the only one that interested him was that Xuan Daozi, Fenghuanger and others once again stopped the Blood Phoenix.

But he has also listened to a lot of similar music in the past three months.

"The gate of Weitian Dao Sect is really hard to enter."

Li Yuan wrote down all the sounds he heard and immediately stopped listening.

There is no other way, the Palm Sound Talisman can also be promoted.
