This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 688: Dark forest, the spirit of wood

Views:

The wooden sword leads the way, shuttling through the sky above the sea of clouds.

Although the magic weapon of the Mahayana cultivator is not as fast as Lu Bei's golden light, it can travel a thousand miles in a moment, which is also incredibly fast.

Below the sea of clouds, there are towering peaks and unique bamboo forests and pavilions.

The wooden sword landed above the bamboo forest and seemed to have hit some barrier. The imprint of its soul was wiped out in an instant, and its divine light was restrained as it fell to the ground with a clang.

"Daoist Guangfa!"

Lu Beiwang felt heartbroken. For a cultivator, the imprint of the soul was even more severe than that of an ordinary person's hands and feet. How painful would it be to be wiped off abruptly!

The already seriously injured Guangfa Daozun was made even worse. It would take him three to five years to recover before he could get out of bed.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, picked up the wooden sword in mid-air, wiped off the dust with his sleeve, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Just say that it was destroyed by the Heart Deity of Samsara.

Gu Zongchen turned a blind eye and took a step forward. Buddha's light shone everywhere, and thousands of threads rolled down.

Boom—

There was a roar from heaven and earth. The strange peaks, bamboo forests, pavilions, and even the earth and the sky seemed to have turned into water. The ripples caused by the falling rocks spread out in all directions.

The tranquility was broken, the balance was destroyed, the ripples turned into a torrent, and wherever it passed, all illusions were torn to pieces and destroyed.

The Mangosteen Pavilion is gone. All that is left is a hazy gray fog and a twisted black forest filled with endless chill.

The place was filled with demonic energy, intertwined with the lingering chill.

"Right here."

Lu Bei waved his hand to open the Yin-Yang portal and released the humanoid magic weapon he carried with him. In addition to Taifu and She Xuan, he also released the two Han Miaojuns unprecedentedly.

He waved his sleeves and four huge square black stones floated in the air. Six sides of the stones had scriptures looming on them. They were personally consecrated by a powerful monk with profound Buddhist knowledge.

Gu Zongchen glanced sideways and recognized the Dashan Temple's Wanzai Demon-Suppressing Stele, which made him feel more confident.

At the same time, he waved his sleeves to take out the bowl and released King Yuanji, Gu Yuanping and Xinli Jun.

Everyone acted according to the plan, occupying the four corners of the world, setting up the Great Buddha Subduing Demons Diagram, the Five Elements Creation Diagram, the Liangyi Microdust Diagram, and the Star Array Diagram, and then used four demon-suppressing steles to block the evil thoughts from entering or leaving.

In the Starry Array, She Xuan holds the Eye of the Candle Dragon in her palm, with the Hundred Paintings and Thousand Machine Seals surrounding her body. There are two phantoms of the Candle Dragon and the Teng Snake resonating with the golden light of thousands of stars;

The Yin-Yang Dust Diagram, the divine eyes lit up between the Taifu's eyebrows, and the Yuanshen Demon stood behind him, using the Taiyi Yantian Diagram to deduce the Yin-Yang Pisces;

In the Five Elements Creation Diagram, the two Palace Masters of Han smiled at each other, touching their fingers in the air, and two phantoms of five-element phoenixes wandered around, and the divine mirror floated up and down;

In the picture of the Buddha subduing the devil, King Yuanji holds the relic in his hand, manifests the golden body of the Buddha, and makes the Buddha-demon seal that touches the ground.

Lu Bei nodded secretly. In such a powerful formation, even if he broke in, he would have to compromise and be played around by She Xuan, Taifu, and Han Miaojun without using the Ten-Eyed Demon.

It is more than enough to seal off a piece of heaven and earth and prevent the Lord of Samsara from escaping.

A large formation was set up in all four directions, and the violent pressure caused turbulent winds. The rolling sound waves echoed back into the dark forest, suppressing the gray fog and dissipating it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the cold and damp energy still remained and could not be eliminated.

"Ten thousand dragons are coming to pay homage to the Liuren Mountains, moving mountains to change fate. This is an act that defies heaven's will, but be careful, the devil may have a trick up his sleeve." Two overlapping voice messages echoed in Lu Bei's ears, coming from the two Han Miaojuns respectively.

It's already rolling.

Lu Bei nodded, looking experienced, and told Gu Zongchen exactly what he wanted him to do, asking him to show off his skills and test the depth of the Lord of Samsara.

If you don’t show it now, you won’t have a chance when the Ten-Eyed Demon comes on board later.

Gu Zongchen said nothing. Amid the astonished gazes of everyone, he slowly opened his hands that were clasped in front of his chest.

Infinite light!

Suddenly, a bright light appeared between heaven and earth, and the endless coldness was swept away. At the moment when the coldness disappeared, it seemed that countless evil spirits were wailing together.

The Great Day is Coming!

The powerful Buddha's light moved in all directions, crushing the hoarse and obscure sounds of ghosts crying, sweeping away the coldness, powerfully penetrating the void, scorching the folds of space, without leaving any corner untouched.

The earth shook and the mountains trembled. Twisted trees fell and broke, and the entire dark forest revealed its true form in the violent shaking.

The tree is not a tree, but a person.

To be precise, it is the shadows of the souls that have been twisted into their current miserable appearance due to pain, struggle and despair.

Lu Bei looked carefully and found the shadow of Dragon King Ao Yi's soul among the most miserable ancient trees.

She was favored by the Lord of Samsara, and had been tortured countless times both physically and mentally.

The other Mahayana stage masters were no exception, with the exception of Lord Creation whose spirit shadow had turned gray and dead, the spirit shadows of Madam Eclipse and the other two were not much better than Ao Yi.

It is obvious at a glance that the more times one is possessed, the darker his tree will be and the uglier its shape will be.

In comparison, Yi Feng and other tribulation-crossing cultivators were unaware of the deep evil thoughts and were not worthy of knowing the truth about the world. They turned into trees just to make up the numbers, and could not enter the eyes of the reincarnation mind, and their colors were not yet black.

Not to mention the fusion stage, the green plants that are half the height of their bodies are probably them.

Lu Bei looked around and was suddenly stunned. He unexpectedly found several familiar figures.

Taifu, Han Miaojun, She Xuan, Xinlijun, Gu Yuan...

Except for himself and Gu Zongchen, almost everyone in the team that arrived at the Xianfu Continent had a shadow of their soul in the dark forest.

Taifu and the others were fine, because they were outsiders and their temporary residence was in a small dark room in Lubei. They seldom showed up in public, and the phantom of their soul had not yet taken shape.

King Yuanji and Gu Yuanping were very scared. The shadow of their soul was about to take shape. After a while, the Heart Lord of Samsara would be able to enter and exit freely and control their thoughts as he pleased.

What kind of secret technique is this? It is so powerful that it can silently take away other people's souls and use them for one's own benefit

Lu Bei was shocked, thinking that the demon's methods were indeed powerful. He was truly unworthy of a human being if he had such vicious and cruel magical powers!

Come on, where is the skill book

"Buddha have mercy on me!"

In this situation, Gu Zongchen's heart was moved. With a point of his finger, the shadow of the sun burst into infinite light, burning the entire dark forest and cutting off the control of the Heart Lord of Samsara over many cultivators from the source.

Boom—

Gulps of pure black demonic energy rose up from the ground, as pure and flawless as water. When it touched the light of the Great Sun Buddha, it continuously made a sharp sizzling sound.

The dark cave is like a deep pit that has existed for thousands of years, constantly gushing out cold and evil demonic energy, which is trying to transform the world into a demonic territory.

“Hehehehe—”

As the Yin Spring boiled, the devil's evil laughter rang out.

It sounded like thousands of ghosts crying together, making people's eardrums hurt.

The earth shook violently, and the cold pool gushed out even more vigorously. With the dark spring as the center, crisscrossing cracks ran through the surrounding areas, and the chasm and abyss slowly expanded upwards, as if something terrifying was about to be born.

boom!!!

Dust waves rolled, black water splashed, and large chunks of earth and rocks fell in all directions.

A naked, wild-haired figure stood in mid-air, with both hands raised, and a devilish roar created ripples of sound waves that oppressed the void like a raging sea, overwhelming it.

The figure was neither male nor female. Judging from the strong and masculine physique, it should be a man, but the face was very feminine and beautiful, and was not inferior to the beauties present.

The key point is that he has no key point.

"The world of demons is so cruel that even the seventh-ranked Heart Lord cannot have the right to rule. He was castrated by the leader." Lu Bei suddenly realized the reason for this body.

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon's howl stopped abruptly, and he almost choked and coughed.

The eyes of the Heart of Samsara were dark, a typical example of a person without a vision. He looked at Lu Bei and Gu Zongchen with amusement, "Youngsters from the human world, I have opened the passage to the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is coming. You two must kneel down and kowtow three thousand times now to survive. Otherwise, I will restore all my magic power, and you two will be unable to live or die even if you flee to the ends of the earth."

Speaking of this, Samsara Heart Lord was extremely grateful.

Who knows to what extent the incomplete days have evolved, but the seal of the Demon Realm has actually loosened.

Although the speed of opening is still as slow as a turtle, and far less free than ten thousand years ago, the trend is good. In this way, he can borrow some magic energy from the Demon Realm, so that he will not be chased by two human juniors with nowhere to escape under the name of Heart Venerable.

"You appear to be powerful but you are weak inside. This Sect Master only sees you putting on airs."

Lu Bei sneered and changed the subject to attack the lower body: "It seems that this is your missing body. It's nothing, and this little sect master can't find it."

The flavor is very strong, and the first thing you hear is the old man from the world of immortal cultivation.

Palace Master Han couldn't bear it, so he whispered a reminder that the extraterritorial demon had not recovered his physical body, and this one was a demon fetus.

"You are the only one who knows, you are the only one who knows a lot, look at the tutor, she didn't say anything!"

Lu Bei snorted coldly and transmitted his voice: "You have long hair but little knowledge. This sect master's provocative words are just to provoke the demon and test his quality. Otherwise, do you think this sect master doesn't know what a demon fetus is?"

"Um."

"… "

The concise answer made Lu Bei so angry that his teeth ached. He thought to himself that the boy had failed to discipline his father properly and would definitely be severely punished tonight.

Palace Master Han fulfilled his promise of three watches and remained silent with satisfaction.

To be honest, she has already figured out this little man. After some time, she will be able to get what she wants with a little trick.

Lu Bei's provocation was too childish. The Heart of Samsara was not bothered at all. Gu Zongchen, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Lu Dong?"

"You are talking about him. This young guy from the Demon Realm doesn't even have a name, and I don't know where he came from." The Heart Lord of Samsara grinned and waved his hand to raise a black gas ball.

Amidst the black light, a demonic shadow could be vaguely seen roaring.

boom!!!

Lu Bei took a step forward, his body turned into golden lightning, and his five fingers turned into sharp claws and pounced on the black gas.

He was fast, but Gu Zongchen was even faster. He reached the front of the Heart Lord of Samsara in one step with his divine feet. He pressed down with his five fingers spread out, and looked down from above, turning it into a giant palm that could hold up the sky.

"Hehehe, how can I let you do as you wish?"

The Lord of Samsara disappeared in mist, pointed to the sky, worshipped the Demon Realm, and asked where the passage to the Demon Realm was.

at the same time.

The demonic realm.

The dark vortex is stirring, with endless starlight hidden within it.

On both sides, shadows, some tall, some short, some humanoid, some ghostly, with demonic energy surging around them, knelt down with their heads bowed.

In the high sky, the devil's sun shines brightly.

The demon slowly opened his eyes.

Ten eyes are bloodshot, staring into the darkness, as if they can see through the void...
