Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"Junior brother!!!"

Seeing Yu Wenjie's death, such a tragic and complete death, Shen Hongyu screamed and activated the magical weapon with all her strength. Two fire dragons rushed to attack Xu Yang, and she seized the opportunity to escape.

However, Xu Yang's movements were so mysterious that the two uncontrolled fire dragons could not stop him at all. In a blink of an eye, they broke through the siege and chased out, flying straight to the outside of the castle with Shen Hongyu. .

"Bang bang bang!"

One after another, one chasing and the other escaping, there were roars and thunderous movements along the way.

The shadow of the fist was like a dragon, driving thunder and violently bombarding Shen Hongyu's body, blowing up each magical weapon into pieces.

Lightning Thunder Fist!

The five elements are united into one, the power is astonishing, and the consumption is equally astonishing. It cannot be used continuously. It takes a period of time to slow down the mana and energy. During this period, you can only rely on martial arts to fight, or use spells with lower consumption and weaker power.

This is also due to the limitations of cultivation, insufficient magic power, and difficulty in redressing by force.

Although it is a common move, in Xu Yang's hands, it still cannot be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, three magic weapons were shattered under the Ben Lei Fist.

Although he is a foundation-building monk and a disciple of the sect, he does not have many protective treasures.

After the three high-grade magic weapons were exploded, Shen Hongyu, who was left with only one spiritual weapon to protect her body, finally stopped fleeing.

Escape is not an option.

But if you don’t escape, what can you do?

"Don't bully others too much!"

Shen Hongyu turned around, looked at Xu Yang with gritted teeth, and took out a talisman with flashing light: "If you take any further, I will die together. Even if you fall into the devil's path, I will not let you get what you want!"

Xu Yang took one look and saw the foundation of the talisman.

It's a third-level spirit-gathering talisman!

Soul-gathering talisman?

Yes, the Spirit Gathering Talisman, which gathers spiritual energy and aids cultivation, is Shen Hongyu's trump card.

Because this world is a world of demons, and gathering spirits means gathering demons.

Qi refining cultivators already possess demonic seeds within their bodies. After being promoted to foundation building, the demonic seeds will turn into demonic fetuses.

Regardless of whether it is a demon species or a demon fetus, as long as a large amount of demon energy is absorbed, it will turn into a terrifying monster.

For example, the previous ghost body suit Zihe Che was demonized by "Doctor Mo" from the drug store.

That old ghost Mo only had Qi refining skills, but the performance of the purple river chariot he transformed into a demon was comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator. His vitality was extremely tenacious, and he could also absorb demonic energy and continue to grow. This meant that Xu Yang's thunder method was powerful, otherwise he would not have used it at all. There is no way.

If that's the case with refining Qi and transforming into demons, what about building the foundation?

Shen Hongyu's foundation-building cultivation has been perfect, and now she has a third-level spirit-gathering talisman in her hand. If she is really forced to burn both jade and stone, and use it to gather spirits and transform into a demon, she might create a golden elixir-level monster.

With this threat, can we find a way out?

Xu Yang was speechless, and thunder erupted under his palm again.

"you……"

"good!!!"

Seeing that the other party was giving no way to survive, Shen Hongyu also let go, gritted her teeth, and activated the magic talisman.

"boom!"

The spiritual talisman flashed, the light and fire burned, and an inscription was printed into the heaven and earth, and the spirits of the ten directions were drawn.

Yuanling gathered and dark mist surged in.

Shen Hongyu let go of her restrictions and unscrupulously absorbed the spirits of heaven and earth, as well as the boiling demonic energy in the spirits.

Shen Hongyu was already in despair after being trapped in the demonic realm, and now being forced into such a situation, Shen Hongyu also completely let go.

"Die, let's die, let's die together!"

Shen Hongyu screamed wildly, and the bright red palace dress exploded, revealing a snow-white jade body. Demonic lines were all over the skin, and hair was growing out. The beautiful body was about to turn into an ugly demonic body.

Cultivators actively transform into demons, which makes them faster and more efficient.

When Xu Yang saw this, he didn't say much, and a bolt of thunder blasted out, directly hitting the opponent's demonic body.

"boom!"

The thunder exploded, a shocking blow landed on the opponent's body, but the skin was not broken.

At this time, Shen Hongyu had black hair all over her body and muscles all over her body. How could she still look like the fairy she had before?

Xu Yang's lightning strike landed on her body, only shattering some hair and causing no real damage to the skin at all.

Defense has undergone a qualitative change!

There is no doubt that after demonization, the bottleneck of realm has been broken.

Now she is no longer the foundation-building monk she was before, but a monster in the golden elixir realm.

"Roar!"

With a roar that was unlike anything a human could make, Shen Hongyu flew over and clawed out fiercely with her deformed right claw.

According to Taoist Zhu Yang's memory, most of the demonic energy acts on the physical body, so the monsters are very powerful. Most of their attacks are close combat. Only a few monsters can cast unique spells.

Nowadays, the golden elixir monster transformed by Shen Hongyu is obviously focused on close combat.

When Xu Yang saw this, he didn't say much, and he jumped up and raised wind and thunder with his sword.

Swordsmanship and warfare, man and sword become one!

The sword stirred up wind and thunder, lightning flashed out, and the energy of the five elements was born in the sword.

Xuanyuan Divine Sword Jue!

Great Five Elements Sword Technique!

The Five Thunders of Tianxin are rectifying the Dharma!

The Five Spirits and Five Elements True Secret!

Two sword arts, one thunder method, and one true skill.

Although this sword is not as good as the Heavenly Sword and does not have magical powers, it still shows Xu Yang's attainments in cultivation.

The martial arts, Taoism, swordsmanship and thunder are not independent of each other, but complement each other and confirm each other.

The sword flashed brightly, wind and thunder arose, and lightning flashed out.

"puff!!!"

With just one sword strike, the demonic body broke through and came out violently.

"Crack, crackle!"

The golden elixir monster stood frozen on the ground, with a sword mark splitting its chest and abdomen. The dark hair, the demon bones and flesh, were full of arc flashes, the sword energy was raging, and the power of the five elements penetrated into the body, attacking the five internal organs, forming The five elements cycle, the wheel of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

The system is like a wheel, forward rotation creates each other, enhances one's own power, reverse rotation inhibits each other, and increases the damage to the enemy.

Such a blow...

"boom!!!"

The sword energy of the five elements exploded. How could the monster's newly formed body withstand it? It exploded into powder in an instant.

"boom!"

The sword light fell, and Xu Yang's figure appeared. He also staggered for a while, his mouth was red, and his face was slightly pale.

Golden elixir, after all, it is a golden elixir!

Even if the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, superior qualifications, even the Five Elements True Secrets, top-notch skills, even if accumulated over several lifetimes, have a strong foundation, even if tit-for-tat, the right method can defeat the devil...

The various advantages cannot make up for the difference in cultivation between the two realms, and in the end one has to pay a price.

But it is only a small price, although it is painful, it is still within the acceptable range.

"Ouch!!!"

Xu Yang took a deep breath, performed his exercises, and suppressed the injury.

Immediately, he raised his hand and a tattered storage bag was photographed.

In fact, he didn't want to press forward step by step and risked his life with Shen Hongyu. He really had no choice.

During the pursuit, he had already checked Yu Wenjie's storage bag, and found that there was only one Five Elements spiritual object suitable for his use.

This is not because Yu Wenjie, as a disciple of the sect, is not as well-off as Taoist Zhu Yang, a casual cultivator, but because most of the spiritual objects on his body are water-type extremely cold things, and there are not as many types as Taoist Zhu Yang.

If Yu Wenjie couldn't get it together, he would have no choice but to pursue Shen Hongyu, and he couldn't waste any more time looking for other monks.

I don’t know which weapon refining master created the refining method for this storage bag. Although it cannot be used as a protective magical weapon, it is tougher than similar magical weapons. Even if it is broken by someone, the contents inside will not be damaged. It will explode instead of disappearing into time and space.

Looking at the tattered but not damaged storage bag in his hand, Xu Yang sighed and opened it for inspection.

"It turns out there really is. The five elements of spiritual objects are finally complete."

Looking at the last needed Five Elements Spiritual Item in the storage bag, Xu Yang nodded and was about to fly away.

But don't want to...

"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror."

"Brush it frequently to avoid dust."

"..."

"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror."

"There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."

"Amitabha, good, good!"

A burst of verses and chants of Sanskrit music came from the place.

"!!!"

Xu Yang's pupils narrowed and he focused on the front.

Ahead, in the thick dark mist, a figure could be seen.

He is a monk, a monk in white.

The white monk's clothes were stained with blood and stained, which was shocking.

Where does the blood come from?

In the eye hole?

In the mouth and nose?

No, it’s in a hole!

On the monk's face, there are no pupils, no mouth and nose.

There was only a big hole, a pit of flesh and blood, swallowing up the face and features.

There is also a talisman, a blood-red talisman, attached to the forehead, which seems to be calming but not calming.

He stepped forward, blood overflowed from his head, and his bones and flesh squirmed, forming a faint face.

The face was twisted in the pit of flesh and blood, emitting a long Sanskrit sound, like a Buddha singing in meditation.

sacred?

Evil?

So contradictory, yet so consistent.

He came step by step, and the sound of chanting in his mouth was actually a familiar verse to the world.

Bodhi verse!

According to legend, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Hong Ren, ordered his disciples to compose verses in order to select disciples.

A handsome monk advocated gradual enlightenment and wrote a Bodhi verse: "The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. I should brush it diligently at all times to avoid stirring up dust."

A monk, Huineng, advocated sudden enlightenment and composed the second stanza of Shenxiu: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."

After seeing what the two men did, Hongren finally believed that Huineng had a higher understanding, so he conferred the dharma robe on him secretly and chose him as his disciple, the future Sixth Patriarch of Zen.

This is the story of Bodhigatha, the story of one prodigy being overshadowed by another prodigy.

Two Bodhisattvas, who can judge the superiority or inferiority?

Although Huineng was later as famous as Shenxiu in the north and south, the mantle and mantle of the Fifth Patriarch and the Zen teachings were finally awarded to Huineng. While people admire the great wisdom and wisdom of the Sixth Patriarch, they can't help but sigh at the eclipse of Shenxiu.

Is this monk Shenxiu or Huineng?

No, he is...

"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror."

"There is nothing there, so where is the dust?"

"What is the bodhi tree and what is the mirror stand?"

"Hui Neng, Hui Neng, shameless you, shameless you!"

"Steal my works, steal my name, flatter my teachers, steal my methods!"

"When Yu is born, how can there be light? When Yu is born, how can there be light!"

"I hate, I hate...!"

"Shenxiu, Shenxiu, you are so handsome!"

"There is no distinction between high and low in the Dharma. Gradual enlightenment is enlightenment, and sudden enlightenment is also enlightenment!"

"The Dharma has no high or low level. If there is no high or low level, why would it still be divided into Buddhas and Demons?"

"If the Buddha doesn't accept me, I will become a demon. The demon is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the demon."

"Amitabha, Prajna Mara, he transforms into himself, World Honored One Bo Xun!"

"He transforms into freedom, World Honored Bo Xun. He transforms into freedom, World Honored Bo Xun!"

"I, the devil, am merciful and save all living beings. Follow me and recite the Bo Xun Heart Sutra!"

"He becomes at ease, Bo Xun Heart Sutra..."

"Namo Nanmo Boshun Mara, Namo Namo Boshun Mara..."

The bursts of Sanskrit sounds and the sounds of Zen singing were like a demon entering the ears, stirring Xu Yang's soul.
