I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 260 Sweet pastry

Inside the cave.

Yu Yunmu was wiping the sword carefully. He said it was wiping, but in essence he was washing and maintaining the sword.

With one's own magic power, spiritual consciousness, and even blood essence, one refines it day after day and year after year, eventually reaching the point where man and sword become one and can be used as easily as one's own arm.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many ways to sacrifice swords, and the method used by Yu Yunmu is essentially the most basic, cumbersome, and even the most patience-testing way of sacrificing swords.

Using one's own essence and blood as the guide, the loss is extremely huge. If not handled properly, it may even cause a loss of both one's own Qi and blood. Not only will the sword fail to be successfully refined, but one's own life span may even be greatly shortened.

Therefore, this method of sacrificing one's own essence and blood to the sword is used by relatively few people in the world of immortal cultivation.

but.

Although this method requires great effort, one of its benefits is far beyond the reach of other sword sacrifice methods.

That is the sword refined by this method, which will establish an unimaginably close connection with the sword's owner.

Even many evil methods designed to defile magic weapons would find it difficult to cause a devastating blow to such swords.

Even if the sword's spirituality is truly contaminated, it is much easier to cleanse than a sword refined by other methods.

If the spirituality is nurtured to a certain degree, it can even spontaneously give birth to a true spirit of the weapon without the need to refine the beast soul into a magic weapon.

In a word, the ritual is difficult, but the future is promising and the upper limit is extremely high.

This also shows Yu Yunmu's ambition and confidence!
Because the sword that Yu Yunmu was refining was not one, but two.

These two swords, one yin and one yang, one sword is called Qianyang Sword and the other is called Difu Sword.

Any one of them had a power that was unimaginable by ordinary magic weapons, and it cost Yu Yunmu almost all of his fortune.

It also continues to consume its own essence and blood to nourish itself, and it carries with it ambitions and aspirations that Yu Yunmu cannot imagine.

While Yu Yunmu continued to refine the sword meticulously, several Jindan Zhenren in the cave sat by and waited patiently.

Among these Jindan Zhenren, some were Yu Yunmu’s guides in the past, some were Yu Yunmu’s former teachers, and some were simply Yu Yunmu’s former followers.

But no matter what their identities are, to this day, these people essentially have only one identity - followers of Yu Yunmu.

Like Yu Yunmu’s former teachers, Yu Yunmu never asked them to do anything, and never showed any disrespect to them, but they were willing to become Yu Yunmu’s followers from the bottom of their hearts.

If you ask the reason, the core reason is that they are extremely optimistic about Yu Yunmu's future.

They believed that Yu Yunmu, who had unprecedented talent and genius, could truly attain enlightenment and even lead them to soar into the sky.

At this moment, the sound of sword chanting was heard in the cave.

As the sound of sword chanting sounded, all the followers present seemed to have fallen into the kingdom of swords in an instant, and their bodies and minds were deprived of it.

His mind went blank for a moment, with only two sword shadows, one red and one white.

No one knew how much time had passed before the thoughts of the many followers present slowly returned to reality.

While many followers had burning eyes, they also understood the true meaning of Yu Yunmu's sword chanting.

The master they followed was now eager for a battle, a thrilling battle.

but.

Not everyone in this world is qualified to be the Lord's opponent!

A figure appeared in everyone's mind at the same time, a figure that was unnaturally young.

Even they had to admit that this rising star, this man who was known as "Little Yu Yunmu" for quite a long time, was indeed a rare and powerful rival in the master's life.

Qi Yuan said seriously, "Zhong Lixiao is indeed very strong, even beyond imagination. Is your Majesty worried?"

The other followers all looked at Yu Yunmu.

There were two swords, one red and one white, that looked like two naughty dragons, swimming around Yu Yunmu with great agility.

Yu Yunmu looked at Qi Yuan and said seriously, "I have corrected you many times, right? We are both cultivators from Baiyun Temple, and our realms are similar. It is most appropriate to call you fellow Taoist."

Qi Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "Master, isn't this in your cave?"

Others also spoke up, supporting, "Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan is right, we are all very sensible, and only in your cave do we make an exception and call you Lord."

Yu Yunmu frowned and said seriously, "Don't do good deeds even if they are small, and don't do bad deeds even if they are small. We are all fellow cultivators of the same generation, and we are all from the same sect. You can call me your master in my cave? I repeat, don't do such boring and easy-to-use temptations again in the future."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. It's all my fault. Fellow Daoist Yu, please stop blaming other fellow Daoists."

Qi Yuan admitted his mistakes repeatedly and took all the blame on himself.

This made Yu Yunmu speechless for a moment, and even gave him a headache.

Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan really is "actively admitting mistakes and refusing to change no matter what"!

of course.

This is also related to the fact that Qi Yuan was once his guide, and even sacrificed himself to protect him for quite a long time.

He really didn't want to cut the connection between him and Qi Yuan!
Yu Yunmu said seriously, "What I just said is what I think in my heart. What I want is nothing more than victory in battle and enlightenment."

The expressions of everyone present were startled, and they all realized that Yu Yunmu's words were already a warning.

Everyone immediately became serious and said that they would not make such a mistake again. Even Qi Yuan expressed his serious attitude.

After a while, Qi Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Yu, if you were to fight Zhong Lixiao now, what are your chances of winning?"

Everyone present looked at Yu Yunmu.

Although they were at the same Jindan realm, after the battle between Zhong Lixiao and Baoshu Buddha, they realized that they would most likely never be worthy enough to be Zhong Lixiao's opponent in their lifetime.

Although I am unwilling, helpless and annoyed, this is the ironclad fact.

Although they are regarded as gods in the eyes of countless Qi-training and foundation-building cultivators, and are unattainable peerless masters, only when you truly understand them will you find that today they have almost all been smoothed over by reality, and have been forced to accept their own mediocrity step by step.

but.

Yu Yunmu was completely different from them. He was an unattainable god in their hearts.

Even though the battle between Zhong Lixiao and Baoshu had already confirmed his supreme authority, and some people even openly fanned the flames, claiming that Zhong Lixiao was "invincible below the Nascent Soul stage", they still did not think that Yu Yunmu would lose.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunmu's eyes became more solemn than ever before.

But those who were familiar with Yu Yunmu still saw unprecedented fighting spirit in his eyes.

Yu Yunmu: "There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. Zhong Lixiao and I have never really fought each other, so how can I know who will win or lose, who will live or die in a real life-and-death fight?"

clang clang.

As Yu Yunmu finished his words, the two swords, one red and one white, that were flying around him returned to their sheaths one after another.

All the majestic sword intentions returned to calmness because of this!
but.

Qi Yuan and other monks who considered themselves followers were still able to keenly sense the self-confidence of their master.

Yes, there are countless cultivators in the world, but sword cultivators have an absolute advantage in attack.

Moreover, to this day, they have only seen the master use the Qianyang Sword alone, or the Difu Sword alone. They have never seen the master use both swords together.

Diling Peak.

Inside Zhong Lixiao's cave, he was also busy at this time.

Three days is really very short.

Treasures like the Five-Colored Clouds and Smoke Net given by the temple master Fu Yunzi, the secret treasures the Death Substitute Puppet, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, and the Thousand Miles Invisible Talisman all require him to spend time refining and mastering them.

Especially the magic weapon "Five-Colored Clouds and Smoke Net", which Zhong Lixiao has been coveting for a long time.

Different from other attack and defense magic weapons, the most outstanding feature of the Five-Colored Cloud Smoke Net is that it saves a lot of energy when flying over long distances.

In addition, the Five-Colored Clouds and Smoke also have very good concealment and anti-reconnaissance effects.

When flying long distances in the air, one can even control Yunyanluo to conceal the existence of the owner of the magic weapon, and it even has a certain ability to resist spiritual detection.

Zhong Lixiao had always wanted to buy a piece of Five-Colored Cloud and Smoke Silk, but unfortunately it was out of stock in Wanbao Tower.

However, he did not expect that he would get the magic weapon he had always dreamed of in this way.

As for the scapegoat, it is really equivalent to having an extra life.

It goes without saying that it is absolutely priceless.

After the blood was refined, Zhong Lixiao clearly felt that some mysterious array patterns inside the substitute puppet were transferred into his body. This made Zhong Lixiao happy and curious, and he wanted to know how these mysterious array patterns were formed.

There are very few methods like this one that can refine some secret patterns into the body by just a drop of blood.

Zhong Lixiao had only heard that some extremely powerful formations could refine part of the core formation patterns into the body, which could then be used to activate the supreme power of the formation.

but.

Zhong Lixiao's curiosity could never be satisfied.

Although some of the mysterious array patterns of the substitute puppet were directly refined into his body, they were embroidered into a dense ball. Even with his spiritual sense, he could not sort them out in a short time.

But for Zhong Lixiao now, time is extremely precious.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao began to study the Purple Sky Divine Thunder and the Thousand Miles Invisible Talisman to ensure that he would not fail at the critical moment.

While Zhong Lixiao was busy with various things, Xue Jingliang and three other disciples were also not idle.

They spared no effort to help Zhong Lixiao to find out all kinds of information about Weiji Hanyuan.

Even for Ning Yunzhi, who has already compiled a large number of entries, this is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In just three days, even if Ning Yunzhi used all her means and connections, she still did it at all costs.

All this is because for Ning Yunzhi, Zhong Lixiao is the best master in the world, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her master.

Sensing the sincere heart of his second disciple, Zhong Lixiao felt very relieved.

On the second night after departure, several visitors appeared one after another in Zhong Lixiao's cave at Diling Peak.

The first one was none other than True Man Chihuo.

It was impossible for Zhong Lixiao not to meet this person who first became friends with the ancestor Zhong Anhe, then became friends with him, and was also a disciple of Master Zheng Yangzi.

After opening the cave and having a brief conversation, Zhong Lixiao immediately understood his purpose and was not even surprised at all.

I just hope to be able to team up with him in the process of exploring the Weijihanyuan.

This is not only a testimony to the friendship between the two, but also reflects the trust that True Man Chihuo has in him.

Zhong Lixiao had no objection to this and immediately agreed to team up with True Man Chihuo.

Seeing that the matter was settled, True Man Chihuo was naturally very happy, and the atmosphere became extremely harmonious for a while.

What Zhong Lixiao didn't expect was that Yun Xiang Zhenren also came to visit.

As for Master Yunxiang, Zhong Lixiao told him that they did have some connections.

At least Master Yunxiang did not criticize too much about the Cloud-Treading Boots that he had seized from Zu Zhenxing in the past.

Although the main reason was that the ancestor Zhong Anhe had also broken through to the Golden Core stage at that time and was qualified to have an equal dialogue with Yun Xiang Zhenren.

but.

Zhong Lixiao was still very grateful!
When I saw Yunxiang Zhenren again, she was still the same, not older, still a middle-aged lady with charm.

But compared to the past, Yun Xiang Zhenren's face no longer had the coldness of the past.

As for Master Yunxiang, when he looked at Zhong Lixiao, he felt even more surprised.

In her memory, Zhong Lixiao was more like the junior who was so cautious even when he confiscated a pair of Cloud-Stepping Boots from the errand boy who brought her water, fearing that she would punish him.

But what she didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, this cautious junior had already reached a height that she needed to look up to.

Although he feels emotional and his feelings are complicated, Master Yunxiang can still see his position clearly.

After meeting him, she immediately bowed and said, "I am in a very difficult situation now. I hope Master Zhong will take good care of me."

How could Zhong Lixiao easily blow his own trumpet and make random promises to others?
He immediately returned the greeting, "Sister, you are too polite. Strictly speaking, I am still your junior. It is not a bad idea for us to explore and search for treasures together in the Weiji Cold Abyss. It is also right for us to take care of each other. When the time comes, we can also help each other."

Zhong Lixiao was very polite in his words and deeds, and Master Yunxiang was speechless for a moment.

In her eyes, Zhong Lixiao was just like a little fox.

Every word sounds very nice, but no promise is given.

However, this not only did not make Master Yunxiang angry, but it even made her feel relieved.

In her opinion, Zhong Lixiao is a very pragmatic man who will not make promises easily.

He is not the kind of man who talks nonsense, makes random promises and brags a lot. Instead, you can feel more at ease exploring the unknown with such a person.

Upon hearing the conversation between Zhong Lixiao and Master Yunxiang, Master Chihuo was also quite happy.

Because he can clearly sense the closeness and distance between them.

Although Master Yunxiang is now a middle-aged woman, her appearance is still very attractive, and she has never lacked admirers, just like a plump and ripe peach.

True Man Chihuo was really worried that Zhong Lixiao would forget his friends for the sake of beauty, but now he feels much more relieved.

time flies.

The following period of time was like opening Pandora's box, with various visits coming one after another.

Even Zhong Lixiao was quite surprised for a moment. He did not expect that there were so many Jindan Zhenren who wanted to team up with him to enter the Weiji Hanyuan.

The water below is precipitous and cold, and it is truly a life-and-death situation.

They even came to visit him through the back door and invited him to form a team. One can imagine the status of Zhong Lixiao in the hearts of these Jindan Zhenren.

However, if you think about it a little, you can understand it.

After all, Zhong Lixiao now has the reputation of being "invincible below the Nascent Soul stage". Regardless of whether it is flattery or not, this reputation is indeed extremely dazzling.

It would be troublesome to invite or reject someone, and Zhong Lixiao was too lazy to think too much about it.

Finally, the matter fell on the head of True Man Chihuo, which immediately made Chihuo very happy and even more proud.

Therefore, all these "connections" that made Zhong Lixiao quite distressed were blocked by True Man Chihuo.

The Golden Crow flies and the Jade Rabbit walks.

In the blink of an eye, three days of preparation time passed.

Everyone has formed groups as needed, and connected groups as needed, and basically everything has been completed.

Even Zhong Lixiao's small group has five Jindan Zhenren, as well as a small number of very promising foundation-building cultivators, and some relatively ordinary but slightly higher-level old foundation-building cultivators.

of course.

Everyone can freely group the Jindan Zhenren together, and as for the younger generation in the foundation-building stage, this is the arrangement made by the sect after careful consideration.

The Weiji Frozen Abyss is quite dangerous even for a Jindan Zhenren.

For cultivators who are in the foundation-building stage, it is even more dangerous.

But bringing along some foundation-building cultivators can give some very outstanding younger foundation-building cultivators a chance to gain some experience.

At the critical moment, it can also allow some relatively mediocre and slightly worse foundation-building people to gain some chance of survival for the Golden Core True Person.

In short, it is even a matter of trial and error using some mediocre and unlucky foundation-building cultivators.

It is impossible not to be cruel!

but.

Kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command wealth. Faced with the crisis of overthrow that may come to the sect at any time, no one can stay out of it.

When he received this arrangement from the sect, even Zhong Lixiao felt quite sad for a moment.

Monks go against the will of heaven in their pursuit of immortality, risking death and facing all kinds of disasters. Many monks even live shorter than ordinary mortals.

Normally, all older monks with rich experience often talk about going against the will of heaven.

I've heard it so many times that even some young monks often talk to themselves like this.

It even has a flavor of "whining without illness" and "forcing sadness to write new words"!

But now, faced with difficulties and dangers, all the words that our elders often said have become concrete.

And this might be the reason why Zhong Lixiao has been practicing so hard, as if there were countless demons and monsters chasing him and biting him, and he dared not relax for a moment.

Cultivation may not be able to solve everything, but it can at least give you more choices and confidence when facing a crisis!
