I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Baiyun Temple.

Swish.

Zhong Lixiao went out quietly and returned quietly.

Apart from Patriarch Bai, few people in the entire Baiyun Temple even knew that Patriarch Zhong Lixiao had once been out.

Not to mention that he had a fierce battle with the White Tiger Supreme in the White Tiger clan's own small world, and forced the White Tiger Supreme, who was almost about to prove himself as the White Emperor in his own small world, to be peace-loving and get along with him in a friendly manner.

This really is the case that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!
Seeing Zhong Lixiao return safely, a smile suddenly appeared on Old Ancestor Bai's face.

This flash of light was the most beautiful light he had seen recently!
The new Diling Peak.

As soon as Zhong Lixiao returned, he released Hu Xiaolu and her other companions.

Including Hu Xiaolu, everyone at the scene looked a little confused.

but.

When they saw the misty fairy fog all around, an environment completely different from the White Tiger Clan's small and cramped dungeon, all the suffering people present showed surprise on their faces at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but show some pity on his face, and said with sympathy, "This is Baiyun Temple Diling Peak, which is Xiaolu's home. You will be free from now on."

free? !
Upon hearing Zhong Lixiao's words, all the victims present who had been tortured by human experiments trembled in their hearts and could not believe their ears.

Some people even have confusion in their eyes, and some are even more alert and cautious, fearing that everything before their eyes is an illusion.

After a long time, everyone present started cheering excitedly.

"We bow to thank you for saving me from the water and fire. I cannot repay your kindness. I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse in return for your kindness."

There was a scene of people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing at the scene. Some of the most sincere ones even knocked their heads and bled.

Zhong Lixiao accepted their kowtows generously, because sometimes accepting others' kowtows is a kind of kindness and will make them feel better.

Zhong Lixiao used his magical powers to release a "rejuvenation spell" to help everyone present and heal their injuries at the same time.

At Zhong Lixiao's level, even though he only released the simplest rejuvenation technique, there was almost no physical injury that was difficult to heal.

The wounds on the bodies of the victims, who had undergone countless cruel experiments, began to heal at the same time.

Just like a dead tree coming back to life in spring and an old tree sprouting new buds, the numerous scars on their bodies began to shed dead skin and grow new flesh under the influence of this powerful healing force.

If there weren't still some color difference between the old flesh and the new flesh, it might be impossible to tell that they had endured so much cruel destruction.

Physical wounds are easy to heal, but emotional wounds are far from being so easy to heal.

Zhong Lixiao looked at his young apprentice Hu Xiaolu and said, "Xiaolu, these are all your friends. I'll leave it to you to take care of them."

Hu Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and was half a beat late before she came to her senses. She quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Zhong Lixiao nodded, and then his figure disappeared.

The little apprentice and her friends have just escaped from trouble. They must have endless things to talk about and want to keep each other warm. It is most appropriate to give them time and space now.

Seeing Zhong Lixiao, their great benefactor, leaving, everyone present looked at each other, still feeling a little bit unconvinced.

After a long while, someone finally spoke and broke the silence.

"Am I dreaming? Did we really escape from that filthy tiger's den alive?"

"No, I'm not dreaming. Look, the world in front of me is so blue and vast. And the temperature of the sun is so warm."

After hearing these words, everyone, including Hu Xiaolu, almost greedily enjoyed the warmth of the sun.

After enjoying it for a short while, one of the half-human, half-tiger boys said with tears in his eyes, "We are free. We are truly free this time."

Only when you have truly lost freedom can you truly understand how precious it is.

It was Hu Xiaolu. It was not until now that she truly felt that she was rescued by her master.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and feeling the warm breeze blowing towards her, Hu Xiaolu couldn't help but shed tears.

In the White Tiger Clan's territory, she suffered persecution. She might have cried at first, but then her tears dried up, as if she had completely lost the ability to cry.

Later, she saw her master coming to save her. It was like a ray of sunshine piercing through the darkness. His few words of concern almost made her cry bitterly, but she finally held back her tears.
Later, in order to fulfill her wish, the master fought with the White Tiger Supreme at all costs. Hu Xiaolu couldn't help but want to cry, but she forced herself to hold back in the end.

Because the master was fighting for her, as a disciple, even if she could not provide any help, she could not fail at the critical moment and embarrass the master. She successfully held back her tears;

but.

Now back at Diling Peak, back to her completely unfamiliar "home", feeling the warmth of the sun and the cool breeze again, Hu Xiaolu could no longer hold back.

Before she knew it, tears had already flowed down her cheeks, but this time Hu Xiaolu was crying more out of joy.

"Freedom. I am finally free. Daddy, did you see that? Xiaolu listened to you and lived desperately, and finally waited for the day to regain her freedom."

That’s right, Hu Bowei, who was in the Five Ghosts and Five Elements Order, was once abducted to the tiger’s den together with Hu Xiaolu.

During her most difficult days, her father Hu Bowei always encouraged her and awakened her will to survive time and time again.

But later, the evil people of the White Tiger Clan, in order to stimulate the wildness and ferocity in her heart to the extreme, refined her father's soul in front of her.

Hu Xiaolu almost completely lost her sanity at the time, and it was only with the help of her father's last words and the encouragement of her friends that she was able to regain her humanity with great difficulty.

And now she is finally free and has lived up to her father's expectations.
At this moment, the tiger in Hu Xiaolu's heart let out extremely rare cheers of joy, as if it had completely broken free from its shackles and was roaring in the mountains.

Hu Xiaolu's whole body and mind were sublimating.

The tiger in the heart is essentially a symbol of human animality, strength, bravery, passion, and majesty.

Perhaps because of this reason, the interrogators in the White Tiger Family have been putting extreme pressure on Hu Xiaolu over the years.

The purpose is to completely wipe out the last bit of humanity in Hu Xiaolu's heart and turn her into a complete beast.

This also caused Hu Xiaolu's heart to be filled with endless pain, evil, and violence, but these evil and violence could never be released.

This resulted in Hu Xiaolu's magical power of "a tiger in her heart" being like being imprisoned in a cage.

Now that Hu Xiaolu has been completely redeemed, and even believes in her heart that she has been redeemed, the shackles in her heart have been completely broken free and she has begun to gain great freedom.

At this moment, the wind of freedom sounded in Hu Xiaolu's ears, brushed across her cheeks, and blew into her heart.
It was as if the whole world was open before her.

Everything was so vast that it could never be bound again.

At this moment, Hu Xiaolu even seemed to see a door leading to freedom.
at the same time.

The tiger in Zhong Lixiao's heart also cheered loudly.

The mind is still the same mind, but the world seems to have suddenly become vast and open.

The door to the world opened before him.

Similar to Hu Xiaolu, a wisp of free wind brushed across her cheeks, across her skin, and finally into her heart.
Zhong Lixiao was not unfamiliar with the current situation.

In that instant, he and his young apprentice Hu Xiaolu achieved mutual success.

Zhong Lixiao completed the redemption of his young disciple Hu Xiaolu, allowing Hu Xiaolu to truly gain great freedom in body and mind, and her magical power, the tiger heart, also evolved.

This mutual achievement also indirectly prompted Zhong Lixiao to replicate the Heart Tiger, and he also gained great spiritual freedom.

of course.

The advancement of the magical power "A Tiger in the Heart" is more than just gaining spiritual freedom.

It is more of a great awakening of spiritual power!

The power of the mind and spiritual consciousness have something in common, but they are not completely the same. It is more illusory, but it really exists.

The power of the mind is more complex and can perhaps be explained as faith, love, courage, fighting spirit, perseverance, and hatred.

From a certain perspective, it is the belief that supports people's lives and the internal pillar that helps people overcome difficulties.

Almost everyone possesses this power, but the specific differences vary greatly.

Some people have strong minds and wills, their wills are as strong as steel, and they are indomitable in the face of adversity.

The spiritual power of some people is like a castle made of sand, which will collapse at the slightest impact.

And now the advancement of the magical power "A Fierce Tiger in the Heart" begins to involve this part of power.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao seemed to see everything that his young apprentice Hu Xiaolu had experienced over the past few decades.

Hatred, fatherly love, friendship, the endless desire for the future and freedom, the hope for redemption, all supported her little by little and never fell.

This extreme spiritual belief has even helped Hu Xiaolu overcome despair, darkness, animality, and even pain time and time again.
As he began to empathize with these emotions, Zhong Lixiao slowly began to dig deep into his heart.

The desire for the path to immortality;

The desire and longing for a sense of security without any threat;
The obsession with protecting everyone I want to protect
All kinds of beliefs and hopes began to be absorbed and transformed into power and flow into the heart tiger.

One can clearly feel that the power of the tiger in his heart is beginning to rise steadily.

In addition, the love of his parents, the affection of his family, the friendship of his sect, the loyalty of his friends, and even the hopes of those who are closely related to him, have all turned into strength for his soul, continuously nourishing the tiger in his heart.

Later, Zhong Lixiao discovered that the tiger in his heart was becoming more and more illusory on the one hand, and more solid and powerful on the other.

The most incredible thing was that he even discovered that the sorrows of the women he had obtained from the Xiang family's Wuyou Cave, which were passed down from the era of human skin scriptures, were actually a kind of powerful spiritual power, which was now all injected into the heart tiger.

All this was really unexpected!

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

The Xiang family paid an extremely painful price to pass down the scriptures.

Take the last preacher of the scriptures, Xiang Xueer’s aunt Xiang Jingli, for example. She persevered for so many years, and although her body was still young, her soul was almost exhausted.

However, this happened only after Xiang Jingli had been carrying the scriptures alone for decades. One can imagine how powerful Xiang Jingli's mental will was.

And now all their mental powers have gathered on the heart tiger.

The power of the Heart Tiger continues to soar!
What Zhong Lixiao did not expect the most was that the power of the Earth Master, the Kitchen God, the Lord of Nectar, and the Lord of Stars all turned into a ray of light and merged into the Heart Tiger.

This influx immediately brought about a qualitative change.

Zhong Lixiao was surprised to find that at this moment the power of his mind turned from virtual to real and transformed into substance.

This is really hard to imagine!
Zhong Lixiao was so blessed that he directly summoned his own magical weapon, the Mountain and River Seal.

As soon as he made a thought, the power of his mind flowed into the Mountain and River Seal. The Mountain and River Seal seemed to be like a long-awaited rain, and the Azure Dragon symbol, which was the spirit of the instrument, actually began to evolve.

The blue dragon symbol, which was originally quite incomplete, now seemed to be completed in some way.

The power of thunder and lightning that had been contaminated in his body as a result of following the Four Symbols Taoist Palace Master Zang Yuanchang in attaining enlightenment has now been fully digested and absorbed.

The blue dragon symbol that had transformed into a spirit of the weapon seemed to have truly turned into a living being, and was no longer a symbol that had been bred on the Nandi Ridge.

The spirit of the weapon, the Azure Dragon, let out excited dragon roars and circled around Zhong Lixiao happily.

The last barrier between Zhong Lixiao and the Azure Dragon symbol disappeared, and the two became one.

Zhong Lixiao was suddenly overjoyed.

Is this the illusory power of the mind?
It’s simply too amazing!

It always feels like a kind of miraculous power that can distort or even break the rules of the real world.

It can turn decay into magic, make dreams come true, and give life to fake creatures.
To put it bluntly, this is going against nature, and to a certain extent, it is also seizing the authority of heaven.

Take the matter of cultivating one's own magical weapon as an example. It will take at least several hundred years.

This is a long and painstaking process and we cannot afford to be careless at all.

But now, using this miraculous power, he was able to complete a long journey in a short period of time, which would take other cultivators dozens or even hundreds of years to complete.

But at this moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue in his heart.

The whole person suddenly became a little listless, as if he had been fighting a powerful enemy for decades.

Zhong Lixiao's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that this should be the price of using this miraculous power.

Although his body was not injured and his spiritual consciousness was not damaged too much, he was extremely exhausted.

Come to think of it, it is understandable that miracles themselves come with a price!

Without a price, how can it be called a miracle?

Zhong Lixiao even has some experience in this regard.

He did not choose to sleep, but started eating a lot immediately.

The purpose, of course, is to use the abilities of the magical powers "Gluttonous Stomach" and "Nipple Joy" to offset some of the powerful side effects of the magical power "Heart Tiger".

Because Zhong Lixiao discovered that the powerful side effects of the magical power "Heart Tiger" were very similar to the powerful side effects of the magical power "Front and Behind the Stage".

As it turns out, there is indeed some effect.

but.

The effect was not particularly great. This unprecedented feeling of fatigue lasted until a month later, when it gradually subsided.

After experiencing the entire process - launching a miracle, bearing the price, and getting out of the downturn, Zhong Lixiao was overjoyed.

Is this costly?

It is so small that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as minuscule!

The price of using such a miraculous power is just a month of depression and fatigue. Any cultivator who hears about this would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

In battle, using this miraculous power once can not only save your life at the critical moment, but also give you the hope of reversing the situation. It is simply too incredible.

As for being exhausted for a month, that's really nothing.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is perhaps the time of using this miraculous power.

This point must be mastered. If you fall into depression and fatigue during the battle, it may be quite dangerous!
Time passes quietly in this unintentional way.

Unlike the golden thirty years, the whole world is unusually noisy.

Almost every country in the world is in chaos, filled with blood, fire, bloodshed and sacrifice.

Almost every sect is planning and making moves, and it is very difficult to tell whether they are human or ghost.

In this atmosphere of uncertainty about life and death and extreme oppression, life seems to have become worthless, whether in the world of immortal cultivation or in the human world.

Not only ordinary mortals, but even those once high and mighty immortal masters may now fall in an instant.

This has even led to the entire world's philosophy of life becoming a hedonistic one of enjoying the present and living for today.

Because no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.

And it is against this background that many unique thoughts have emerged.

for example.

The spirit of chivalry prevails.

They value their promises over their own lives, travel the world with swords, and help those who see injustice. A fight or a bloodbath may happen at any time.

On this basis, hermit culture and thought are also very popular.

No one knows which school of thought first found the secret method from the pile of old papers, but the "earth immortal" school that had long been swept into the garbage dump of history has begun to flourish again.

The universe is vast in the sleeve, and the sun and moon are long in the pot.

No matter what happens in the world, just chuckle a few times when you are free.

Of course, in such a complicated and chaotic world, there is really no hope in the real world, so we can only seek illusory spiritual sustenance.

There are many people praying to gods and Buddhas and seeking the truth, especially the number of Buddhist believers who preach "suffering in this life and happiness in the next life" has increased dramatically.

In addition, the gods promoted by the major sects also began to emerge.

With the prosperity of various networks, all major portals have websites promoting gods from various sects, and even online temples.

Especially the online temple, even Zhong Lixiao felt it was a bit dreamy.

How to describe it?
Believe in the gods of the Internet and earn cyber merits.

From this point we can also see that since the death of the God, Shinto has been completely divided up by various immortal sects.

If a god wants to spread faith on a larger scale, he needs people behind him to push him forward.

This feels like buying traffic artificially!
In the Baiyun Temple's sphere of influence, there are nine most famous gods.

The first one is naturally An Lan Yuanjun, who is strongly recommended by Zhong Lixiao.

With the support of Zhong Lixiao, the "Emperor of the Middle Kingdom", Anlan Yuanjun has become one of the most influential gods in the territory of Da Chu.

It has become one of the most important supplements to the order of Baiyun Temple.

As for the remaining eight, they are respectively: Lord of Heaven, Lord of Earth, Lord of Soldiers, Lord of the Sun, Lord of the Moon, Lord of Yin, Lord of Yang, and Lords of the Four Seasons.

From these titles, we can see how ambitious the eight gods promoted by Baiyun Temple are.

The internet is now abuzz with discussions, with many people believing that these eight gods might be the "Eight Floating Clouds" who have been hidden in Baiyun Temple for a long time.

In the past, Bai Tingyuan was wholeheartedly determined to prove the ultimate of the mountain, and on this basis, to prove the "Eight Extremes".

Therefore, the secret of Fuyun Bazi was kept very, very secret.

But now, the road symbolized by the number of sermons is obviously no longer viable.

Bai Tingyuan was probably forced to change his plan temporarily, releasing the eight hidden Fuyuns in advance, and then forcibly taking a share of the Shinto legal order.

However, Baiyun Temple has not responded to this speculation on the Internet.

In addition, although the world was in turmoil and cholera continued, the real top leaders were very restrained.

Even in the face of various temptations, he was very restrained, at least he managed to maintain a fight without breaking.

for example.

The test of Zhong Lixiao would basically be conducted indirectly through the fighting and quarreling between the court of the Great Chu State and the major warlords.

If he goes a step further, he might try to test An Lan Yuanjun and force Zhong Lixiao to take action.

but.

No matter which side they are on, anyone who crosses the line will be immediately killed by the backup plan left by Zhong Lixiao, without him even having to show up.

This has also led to people's speculation about Zhong Lixiao's combat power over the years, which has never stopped.

In this regard, Zhong Lixiao has never responded directly.

The outside world was in turmoil and chaos, but Zhong Lixiao, who had been studying the spiritual realm in the Earth Spirit Peak, was living a quite peaceful life.

Many people speculated that Patriarch Zhong Lixiao was refining some weapon, but no one could tell exactly what kind of treasure he was refining.

To this day, all major sects in the world are actively eliminating internal spies, but how can the existence of spies be completely eliminated?

All the major sects learned from the secret spies lurking in Baiyun Temple that over the years, almost all of the temple's weapon-refining secrets had been requisitioned by Patriarch Zhong.

In addition, Baiyun Temple is also collecting various formation diagrams and formation books all over the world. Even the sect's missions include a large number of tasks such as refining various ores and refining various formation flags and formation plates.

These actions cannot be completely hidden from those who are interested!

And some things, as long as one person knows it, then everyone in the world will know it.
Therefore, everyone in the world knew that Ancestor Zhong was secretly refining weapons.

What treasure do you want to refine?
do not know!
How is the refining progress?

do not know!
but.

There is one thing that the world knows.

As Patriarch Zhong spent more time in seclusion, the supply of various magical instruments, low-level formation plates, and formation flags in the Wanbao Pavilion began to increase year by year.

At first, there were only relatively low-level magical instruments and formation plates, but later on, even high-quality and even top-level magical instruments began to increase in number.

Wanbao Pavilion would put some fine products on the shelves almost every once in a while.

As a result, almost all the monks in Baiyun Temple have upgraded their weapons to more advanced ones, and now have a collection of magical weapons and formations that are the envy of others.

When they fought, each one was more brave than the other, and the disciples from other major sects were truly envious and jealous.

And I don't know when it started, but Wanbao Pavilion even started to put some magic weapons on sale every one or two months.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed since Zhong Lixiao returned to Diling Peak from the White Tiger Clan's small world. (End of this chapter)
