Beiyin Great Sage

Barren mountains and ridges with jagged rocks.

The red gold rod turned into a red light and quickly shuttled between the rocks. The rocks collapsed wherever it passed, and a cave was dug out.

"Uh-huh!"

The long sleeves were waved lightly, and the red gold rod turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sleeves.

Zhou Yi glanced at the crude cave that had just been formed, nodded slightly, and ducked into it.

Fire Control Technique!

With a gentle rub of two fingers, the power of fire collided and produced sparks. The sparks instantly expanded into fireballs and fire clouds, baking the moisture in the cave.

In the blink of an eye, this newly formed cave became dry and refreshing.

Zhou Yi put his hands behind his back, feeling the thin energy of heaven and earth here compared to Black Wind Mountain, and shook his head helplessly:

"No wonder Qi practitioners usually stay away from mortal residences. The sufficient and active spiritual energy can make a huge difference in the progress of cultivation."

A mortal city requires flat terrain and fertile land, and this kind of place is just the place where the energy is soothing, and the large number of people will breed turbidity.

I don't like being a Qi practitioner.

Black Wind Mountain is not the case. It is where tens of thousands of miles of surrounding land veins gather together. One day of practicing on the mountain can be compared to several days in the outside world.

Over time, the gap will become wider and wider.

It is extremely rare for a great monk in the late stage of Qi refining to appear in casual cultivation. The inheritance of skills is one aspect, and practicing without a good place is the fundamental.

The same talent can reach the middle or late stage of Qi refining by practicing in Black Wind Mountain, but it will definitely not be possible outside.

certainly.

The gap between the two can also be narrowed with the help of spiritual stones, formations, and elixirs, but they are expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.

"fortunately."

Zhou Yi turned over his hand and took out a porcelain bottle:

"I don't need to practice hard for the time being, and the impact on the environment will not be big."

The porcelain bottle is transparent, with an unknown blood-red liquid inside. Just looking at it gives people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown, then his eyes narrowed, he opened it and drank it with his head held high.

The spirit crossing technique!

As the technique was running, layers of spiritual light emerged from his body, spreading around him like ripples on the water's surface, until it came into contact with rocks.

The liquid rolled down the throat into the intestines and stomach, and then turned into a billowing stream of heat and rushed to the limbs and bones.

"boom……"

With a roar, the sea of ​​self-consciousness emerged.

The liquid came from Zhao Kui, the inner disciple of Batu Cave who was in the late stage of qi refining. It contained the remaining qi and blood from Zhao Kui's body before his death.

That is,

Zhou Yi is eating people!

The spirit-transferring technique is to devour the energy and blood of others to increase one's own strength, but the requirements for both parties are extremely harsh.

"Um!"

With a slight snort, Zhou Yi's shoulders shook, and his body suddenly swelled, transforming into a Zhenyuan Demon Ape that was about ten feet tall.

breath,

It suddenly skyrocketed.

Time passes, and the sunset and stars move. I don’t know how long it has been.

"Crackling..."

In the cave, there was a crisp sound like firecrackers, and then the breath that was constantly rolling and surging inside suddenly stopped and turned into dead silence.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhou Yi opened his eyes, and a flash of light illuminated the entire cave.

Cultivation: Late stage of Qi training (36/100)

"Spiritual Crossing Technique..."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhou Yi turned over his hand and took out the iron piece with the spirit crossing technique written on it, with a thoughtful look on his face:

"I am afraid that this technique was specially created based on the inheritance characteristics of Batu Cave. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that it could swallow the inner disciples to strengthen itself."

"No!"

A thought suddenly crossed the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and it also shocked him.

"Since someone can create the spirit-transmitting technique, how can there be no similar technique in Batu Cave?"

"Between true disciples, as long as they kill each other, their own strength will greatly increase. Now that I think about it, isn't it similar to the spirit-transmitting technique?"

not only that!

Zhou Yi’s eyes flashed:

"Except for He Zhong, the master of Batu Caves killed all his fellow disciples and became a famous Taoist cultivator in just a hundred years."

"The progress of cultivation is so fast, I am afraid that it is also achieved by devouring others!"

"I don't know who created the spirit crossing technique. It still has flaws. For example, the effect of devouring others will continue to weaken. Maybe the cave master's method has no flaws anymore, so he cannibalize people until he goes crazy, almost annihilating all his fellow sects, and achieves his own destiny. Powerful."

"No wonder Batu Cave has only one Taoist priest besides the monsters. No wonder the cave master will not accept a few true disciples until his life is almost over..."

"I see!"

If this is the case, the spirit-transferring technique already involves the secret of the Batu Cave inheritance. If someone discovers it, he will definitely be killed and silenced.

…………

"Brother Zhou!"

"Brother Bai!"

Bai Xiu and his daughter, Zhou Yi and Yu Hui, gathered in Xiaoheishanfang City.

In the restaurant, the aroma of food is overflowing.

"Don't go back to the mountain during this period." Bai Xiu filled Zhou Yi's drink:

"Too messy!"

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded:

"Do you have any access to the news on the mountain?"

"Yes." Bai Xiu picked up the wine glass:

"After leaving the criminal court, I took in a few disciples. Now I am doing odd jobs in the mountains. I can pass on some news until the situation stabilizes."

"Where are you?"

"Same." Zhou Yi raised his glass.

Kang Rong and Zheng Bagu both have connections with him.

"Who do you think will win?" Bai Xiu asked curiously:

"I was expecting Linshang, but it seems that Zizhen also has leverage, otherwise you wouldn't have let me leave the mountain as soon as possible."

"I can't say who will win or lose." Zhou Yi shook his head:

"But whoever still has it on his body may be in trouble."

Black Wind Palace!

"boom!"

The stone pillar surrounded by several people shattered under the impact of a violent force.

The unsupported dome swayed far away. Under the howling and shaking of the black wind on the top of the mountain, it made a deafening sound and collapsed downwards.

"boom!"

The rocks collapsed and smoke was everywhere.

"hold head high……"

A giant pure white elephant raised its long trunk and let out a deafening roar. The sound wave seemed to have substance, sweeping across everything around it.

"Peng!"

The giant elephant was ten meters tall and weighed an unknown number of kilograms. Its sacred white skin was like crystal jade as it charged forward.

Wherever he passed, rocks cracked and people fell over.

"Yuanheng!"

"you wanna die!"

A man and a woman appeared on the scene, revealed their bodies with a loud roar, and rushed towards the giant elephant.

The man transformed into a spiritual deer, and the antlers on his head flashed with colorful spiritual lights. As it pushed forward, a colorful passage appeared spontaneously.

The woman transformed into a giant elephant over seven meters tall. Although not as big as Yuan Heng, she was covered with a thick set of spiritual armor.

Spirit deer!

Elephant!

"Peng!"

The three giant beasts collided brazenly, and the terrifying impact caused the rocks within tens of meters around them to collapse like tofu blocks.

The palace, which took countless people's efforts to build, was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

The strange beasts transformed by the outer disciples were smashed and trampled to pieces. Blood flowed in the ruins, and the remaining limbs and pieces of meat were flying around in disorder.

The terrifying physical body of the inner disciples can almost ignore the incoming magical weapons and spells. If they just run rampant, no one can stop them.

However, compared to a man and a woman, Yuan Heng, who is known as the number one person in the inner sect, is obviously stronger.

"Get out of my way!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, the ten-meter-tall elephant flicked its nose and vibrated wildly. Visible ripples vibrated, directly shattering everything around it.

Even the two inner disciples screamed and fell back.

Seeing that Yuan Heng was about to rush to the core of the formation, a figure suddenly appeared.

The person who came was dressed luxuriously, with regular facial features, and a pair of eyes that seemed to hide the heaven and earth. Although he looked up, he seemed to be looking down on the common people.

"Linshang?"

Yuan Heng's figure froze, his eyes widened, and his face looked incredulous:

"How will you be here?"

"I've always been here." Linshang said calmly:

"On the contrary, it's you. I thought it would be my junior sister who came, so we can deal with it together. But it's the same as dealing with you first. She can't escape."

As he spoke, he stretched out one hand and pressed forward.

Following his movements, the air suddenly condensed, and an invisible force fell toward the idol in front, like a mountain squeezing inward.

"ah!"

Yuan Heng roared:

"The gods hold up the sky, break it for me!"

"boom!"

The invisible imprisonment was broken by the divine elephant, the head hung down, and the ivory curved like a giant scythe slammed into the figure below.

"good."

Linshang raised his eyebrows, with a little surprise in his eyes:

"You can actually break my Black Mountain Infinite Binding with pure brute force. You are worthy of being the number one person in the inner sect praised by Master. It's a pity..."

Shaking his head slightly, he slowly clasped his hands in the face of the oncoming god.

Mahakala's boxing technique!

Destroy the sun!

It was like a black light condensed in front of the fist, and the magic power of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining collapsed and compressed, all converging on the fist.

"boom!"

Compared to the ten-meter-long divine elephant, Linshang's thin body suddenly erupted with terrifying power, making a muffled sound of thunder.

The air boiled like boiling water in an instant.

The fists clashed with the ivory.

"Crack!"

The ivory that could penetrate the high-grade defensive magic weapon broke in front of Linshang's fist, and the remaining force hit the elephant's head.

"ah!"

Yuan Heng looked up to the sky and screamed sadly.

The huge elephant head was torn in half by the terrifying fist force, the brains mixed with blood were thrown down, and the heavy body staggered backwards.

"Uh-huh!"

Linshang's figure flashed and appeared under the elephant. He reached up with his hands and directly tore the skin and flesh into the internal organs of the idol.

"Peng!"

Two claws tear the sky apart.

The ten-meter-long elephant was torn in half.

"Snapped!"

Linshang waved his hand, and the two halves of the corpse fell to the ground. Blood gushed out from the remains, and in the blink of an eye it flowed into a river of blood on the ground.

Even so, Yuan Heng did not die immediately. It was not until the spirit deer on the side stepped forward and pecked its head into pieces that he finally breathed his last.

The vitality of the five poisons and eight evils can be seen.

"Zizhen..."

Standing on the ruins, Linshang lowered his head and looked somewhere:

"You are less courageous than I thought. You don't dare to take action even if you have the only chance. Your defeat is already certain. I spent so much time in vain."

"Linshang." At this moment, a voice sounded in the air.

"Uncle Master."

Linshang bowed his head with a respectful attitude:

"I've settled it here. It's Yuan Heng who's here, not Junior Sister Zizhen."

"I know." He Zhong said:

"She escaped."

"Huh?" Linshang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses after a pause:

"Junior sister..."

"Escaped?"

"Not bad." He Zhong's figure appeared nearby and threw two heads with his hands. They were the inner disciples beside Zizhen:

"Last night, Zizhen had quietly escaped from Black Wind Mountain."

"Huh!" Linshang snorted coldly:

"There is a secret entanglement between the true disciples, and it is impossible for her to escape."

"That being said." He Zhong said:

"But if Zizhen defectes to other forces, it will be troublesome for you. If you don't kill her yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve Taoism."

"Only one of you can survive. This is what senior brother calls raising gu."

Lin Shang's face darkened.

"Walk!"

"She can't escape!"

…………

South of Black Wind Mountain, three thousand miles away.

Zizhen was covered in blood and sat cross-legged on a rock. The clear water of the river beside him was gurgling, and several fish were jumping back and forth in it.

"Good place."

A familiar voice sounded, and Linshang appeared on the other side of the river with his hands behind his back:

"Junior sister, this place has a beautiful environment and peaceful energy. Although it is not a treasured place for burial, it is enough to settle down and live in peace. It will be good for you to live in peace in the next life."

"Unexpectedly, senior brother is actually proficient in the art of Feng Shui and Kanyu." Zizhen looked at the other party and nodded:

"My Taoist body is profound, I have learned from hundreds of schools of thought, and I am born with spiritual wisdom. My senior brother's talent is the strongest among us."

"Otherwise." Linshang shook his head:

"Junior sister's Taoist heart is pure and unique, she is the youngest but her cultivation level is not inferior. Senior sister is born strange, she is the strongest and most like the master."

"Why!"

He looked at the fish swimming in the water with a slightly melancholy expression:

"If the three of us hadn't been in Batu Caves, we would have had a great future, and we wouldn't have ended up killing each other and fighting each other."

"yes."

Zizhen stood up:

"When I was young, my senior sister and senior brother treated me like brothers and sisters. They would always remember to leave a portion for me if they had anything delicious or fun."

"I……"

"The memory is still fresh."

"..." Linshang raised his head, his eyes confused:

"Master is really cruel. He taught us to respect each other, love each other, and be brothers, but he didn't tell us that we can only seek enlightenment by killing each other."

"That's why senior sister's character changed drastically."

The two looked at each other, and for a moment they both felt emotional. They grew up together and had such a deep relationship, but they didn't expect it to end up today.

"If I become the cave master, this kind of thing will never happen again in Batu Cave. It will be taboo for fellow sects to kill each other." Linshang said seriously:

"Junior sister."

"If you become the cave master, I hope so too."

"Of course." Zizhen nodded:

"After your generation and mine, the method of cultivating Gu will be discontinued!"

"good!"

Linshang looked up to the sky and smiled, with a happy expression:

"Junior sister, let us decide the outcome today and determine the position of the cave master. This will not be in vain for the master's teachings. There is an explanation."

"What?" Zi Zhen said:

"You won't let my uncle take action?"

"..." Linshang lowered his head and looked at Zizhen:

"Junior sister, this is a matter between us, and I hope it can be settled in your hands."

Zizhen's expression was solemn, and she looked at the other person for a long time, then nodded slowly:

"good!"

"Brother, please take action!"

"Haha..." Linshang roared, and his large robe turned into a black cloud and expanded backwards, and countless resentful ghosts roared in it:

"Junior sister, let me see how powerful the Ten Thousand Demons Body you have cultivated is?"

The three of them are both true disciples of Batu Cave, but the methods they practice are actually completely different. The eldest sister specializes in the Three Corpses Technique, Lin Shang practices the Mahakala Manual, and Zizhen practices the Ten Thousand Demons Dharma Body.

The three techniques are not complete, but the grade is still the second-level top grade. Once there is only one person left among the three, that person will have three inheritances at the same time.

grade,

Directly reach the third level of top grade!

And that person's cultivation will also be blessed by the three true disciples, and he will advance to the Taoist realm and save decades of hard work.
