Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Year after year, the flowers are the same, but the people are different.

A hundred years later, in the cave.

"Huh!"

Fang Yuan took a long breath, slowed down his magic power, and then waved his sleeves to uncover the furnace. Suddenly, a golden light flew out and fell into his hand, turning into a small black red flag, which was the "Little Fiery Flag" of the spiritual weapon level!

Since the Tiangong Method was launched a hundred years ago and the five academies took over the task, a vigorous refining craze started from the Wandao Academy and swept across the world, causing a large number of academy students and cave heaven monks to devote themselves to refining.

Although the Wandao Academy had said before that the Tiangong Method was not exclusive to the weapon path, it could not withstand the high demand for the components and even the core of the weapon, which made the refining of the weapon a promising prospect, and countless monks devoted themselves to it.

Being in the midst of a wave, it is inevitable to go with the flow. Fang Yuan could not help but be moved. He divided some of his energy and time. While practicing and refining pills, he also took care of his third job as a weapon refiner. Now he has made some achievements and become a second-level weapon refiner. The "small blazing flag" in his hand is proof of this.

"In the past hundred years, all the refiners above level three in the five academies have been entrusted by Taoist Master Mingxiao to refine magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and immortal weapons day and night. All materials and all consumption are borne by the Wandao Academy, and there are also elixir subsidies and credit rewards..."

"As a result, after a hundred years, the refiners in the five academies have greatly improved their attainments. Most of them have been promoted to level one, and a few have even been promoted to level two. While refining weapons, they have not been delayed in cultivation. With the elixir subsidies and the drive of the academy's refining, they have broken through the realm and are comparable to normal cultivation..."

"If I had known that there was such a method as Tiangong Zaofa, I would have chosen refining weapons when filling in the volunteers for the Hundred Arts. Now, I am lagging behind step by step, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to participate in the refining tasks of the five academies."

Recalling the changes over the past hundred years, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel regretful.

A hundred years ago, the five academies took on the important task of refining the five elements under the order of Taoist Master Mingxiao, and received significant support from the academy, and the subsidy was unprecedented.

Although thanks to the century-long plan of Master Qian to "fleece the sheep", the academy has gained a lot of resources and benefited all the academies. The skills of alchemy, talisman, and weapon have all been improved and developed to varying degrees, but they are not as brilliant as the weapon, which makes many cultivators regret it.

Fang Yuan is one of them.

But he is a Yuanying cultivator after all, so he quickly calmed down and prepared to start his daily practice.

At this moment...

"Warning! Warning!"

"Red Moon is coming, Red Moon is coming!"

"All cultivators, stop practicing immediately and be careful of the demonic calamity!"

"All cultivators, stop practicing immediately and be careful of the demonic calamity!"

"All people below the fourth realm, please go to the nearest academy for refuge immediately!"

"Cultivators in the fourth realm and above, please do not leave the cave and walk around without the notice and order of the academy!"

"The entire academy is under wartime control and is fully controlled by the academy law enforcement team. Any conflict or confrontation with the academy law enforcement team will be regarded as the alienation of the demon. No trial is required and they will be killed on the spot!"

"..."

The shrill alarm sounded and echoed in this Yuanying cave, causing Fang Yuan's face to change instantly.

As a Yuanying cultivator and a fourth-level alchemist, he has a private cave in the academy, and there is no need to say more about privacy.

Even so, there is an alarm installed in his cave, an alarm that no one can remove.

Not only him, all the monks in the academy, regardless of their level of cultivation or position, have such an alarm in their caves.

Because this is an alarm for the "demon calamity".

The academy has been established for more than 600 years, which coincides with the law of the advent of the "red moon".

So during this period, everyone's nerves are very sensitive, and some even stopped practicing.

Fortunately, the academy has been prepared for this, has done many drills, and has a set of mature response methods.

In the sharp alarm, a series of spiritual lights appeared, and teams of law enforcement monks drove mechas and began to implement wartime control, evacuate the people, maintain order, and suppress the unrest in the most severe way.

It must be said that the vitality of the evil god sect is strong, and it is impossible to kill them all. Even if the academy has been in power for more than 600 years and has wiped out these evil god sects again and again, some people will still fall into the devil's way after a while and become the claws of the foreign devil and the evil god believers.

It was like this in the past, and now the red moon is coming again, it is even more unimaginable, and it may even evolve into a demonic disaster.

Fortunately, the academy has a plan for this, but it is inevitable that there will be chaos for a period of time.

Looking at the chaos outside, Fang Yuan shook his head, took out a pill and swallowed it, then opened the formation protection of the cave, and then closed his eyes and meditated peacefully.

He is not a law enforcement monk, and he has not received the transfer order from the academy. It is best not to move around at this time, which is good for both others and himself.

After taking the "Taiqing Shoushen Pill" distributed by the academy, Fang Yuan guarded his mind, did not accept spiritual energy, did not practice, and only waited for the demonic disaster to pass.

In this way, I don’t know how long it took, and suddenly a red light shone into the cave and fell on Fang Yuan’s face.

Red light?

Where did the red light come from?

The cave has been closed by him, completely isolated from the outside world, and there is no window sill, where did the red light come from.

Fang Yuan didn’t know, he just felt something strange in his heart, his mind was full of distracting thoughts, and finally he saw a bright moon.

The moon was bright and clear, but in just a moment, drops of red fell, as if blood and ink were spreading!

In a snap of a finger, a thousand years, ten thousand years...

In a trance, when I lost my mind, I looked at the moon again, and it was already scarlet, extremely enchanting.

No, it was not only scarlet, but also a line of black, which stood up in the moon and expanded outward.

This was not a red moon, it was clearly an eye pupil!

A scarlet eye pupil, an evil eye pupil, slowly met the mind.

It, he, he, he was looking at himself, staring at himself!

"Avalokitesvara, Kinnara, when practicing deep Prajna Paramita, saw that the five aggregates were empty and overcame all sufferings."

"Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color; color is emptiness, emptiness is color; feeling, thought, action, and consciousness are also like this."

"All dharmas are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing!"

"Therefore, there is no color in the air, no feeling, thought, action, and consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, no eye realm, and even no consciousness realm..."

"Bodhisattva, the mind is without obstacles, reversed dreams, ultimate nirvana!"

"The demons of the three generations, because of Prajna Paramita, there is Dora Samyak Sam Bodhi."

"Revealing the concubine, Polo uncovering the concubine, Polo monk uncovering the concubine, Bodhisattva..."

“！！！！！！！！！！！”

In an instant, Fang Yuan woke up, suddenly opened his eyes, his complexion turned pale, his body that was immune to cold and heat was already dripping with sweat, and there were waves of demonic sounds echoing in his mind, like maggots lingering on the tarsal bones. go.

This is... the devil's calamity! ?

How could it be so terrifying? How could it be so terrifying?

Could it be that heaven and earth have been broken, and heretics and evil spirits are coming!

Fang Yuan's thoughts were confused, he was frightened beyond words, and his mind was gradually losing control.

At this moment, a bit of coolness came out of the spiritual platform, washing his mind in an instant. He was so excited that he suddenly recovered. He immediately stabilized his body, sat down again, and started reciting a sutra.

"The Tao is born from nothingness, hiding all spirits and unpredictable, wonderful and ever-changing and without direction, the dark has essence and is calm and shining, the great mystery is boundless and empty and quiet, this is called the Great Cave, and when it gathers essence and spirit, it controls the ancestral qi to circulate..."

It is the Taoist secret - "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing"

The hundred-year period is coming, and the time of the red moon is approaching. How can the academy not make preparations?

Not only has the Qingling formation been arranged in various schools and important areas to resist the red moon's evil contamination, but also all the monks in the academy have been assigned different levels of Taiqing Shoushen Pills, and the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing, which can respond to demons and slay evil, has been taught.

Just now, he was contaminated by the red moon and gave rise to thousands of evil thoughts. If the Taiqing Shoushen Pill he took had not played a role in time, he would not only fall into the devil's way, but also be affected by it, damaging his foundation and even his soul, and there would be no hope of progress.

How vicious, how dangerous!

Fang Yuan was still in shock, and he dared not be careless. He concentrated on reciting the Great Cavern Sutra, and used the method of the Pure One to resist the external demons.

…

On the other side, outside the cave, Yuzhao was wearing a moon-white long dress, like a Gushe Snow Fairy who was isolated from the world.

Looking up, I saw a blood moon hanging high in the sky. Within the scarlet moonlight, there was a line of black, as if the pupils were cracked, revealing an inexplicable charm, as if the demon god from outside the domain was looking down at the world.

"It's so fierce..."

Yuzhao looked up at the sky, facing the blood moon, muttering to himself, seemingly unaffected.

"Young Master!"

At this moment, a spiritual light flew out and turned into the Qiantian Mirror: "This time the foreign devil infection is unusual. You should hurry back to the cave. Otherwise, even if you have the Mengtian Dao Fa to protect you, you may leave the hidden danger of devil seeds, which will affect your practice and even aggravate the future heart devil disaster."

Yu Zhao heard this, but ignored it. His eyes were still staring at the blood moon in the sky. After a moment, he turned his eyes back and walked into the cave. He used the Mengtian Dao Fa and recited the Dadong Zhenjing to cut off the foreign devil thoughts.

Mengtian Dao Fa, Buddhism and Taoism, can also recite the Dadong Zhenjing easily.

It is worth mentioning that this time, the Wandao Academy did not fleece the sheep again, and sold the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing, which can resist foreign devils, to these Taoist descendants and the immortal gods of the major caves at a high price. Instead, it taught them for free and even broadcast the teachings many times.

As the descendant of the Tiandao of the Alliance, Yuzhao, although he also has the method of the True Immortal to resist the devil's contamination, he still practiced this Taoist method. After all, who would complain about too many means of self-defense?

Now that the red moon has come again, the devil's contamination has become a disaster, which shows that the Wandao Academy has foresight and made such preparations.

This time, the foreign devil's contamination was many times more severe than the previous times, and even turned the red moon into a blood pupil, clearly showing in this world. I don't know which foreign devil was the handiwork.

Why is it so?

Yuzhao doesn't know, but he can guess some of the reasons.

The foreign devil has intensified his offensive.

As early as six hundred years ago, there were two red moons, which came to the world one after another.

That was the first time that the foreign devil increased its attack and strengthened the erosion of this world.

Originally, that time was enough to cause chaos in the world, alienating countless demons and disasters, causing this world to gradually sink until the major caves and blessed lands entered the world.

But because of the start of a live broadcast, the appearance of several people changed this process.

Wu Kuangtu, Li Xuanyuan, Mingxiao Daojun, and the Wandao Xuezhu who had a very weak presence but was everywhere.

Four people, one live broadcast after another, changed the process of this chaotic world of demons, and forced the world's blessed land and even the Dongtian Immortal Gate to return, and the power of the world increased greatly, resisting the invasion of the foreign demon world.

Not only that, they also established the system, taught the law, established the Wandao Academy, trained a large number of monks, and wiped out the major evil god sects and the claws of the demons, and removed the vanguard of the foreign demons, making the world front further stable.

With this achievement, no demonic disaster has turned into a disaster in the past six hundred years.

But this is only a temporary solution, and it cannot solve the problem once and for all and eliminate the root cause.

The root is outside the world, in the demon world.

Originally, the most ideal development was that the academy established the Dao, the cave paradise was opened, and after the world's power was strengthened, the attack of the demon world was resisted, so that it would retreat in the face of difficulties and completely give up the idea of ​​invasion.

But it is obvious that the situation did not develop in this way. After the offensive was blocked, the demon world did not retreat in the face of difficulties, but strengthened its strength. Today, six hundred years later, it launched a more fierce attack.

Therefore, the magic effect of the red moon this time is so terrifying.

It is reasonable for the demon world to choose this way.

Since ancient times, after the immortals and gods retreated from the world, the demon world has launched countless offensives. Behind each arrival of the red moon, there is a huge investment from them. To this day, they have spent a lot of effort and strength. With such a huge sunk cost, how could they give up easily?

If in ancient times, the major gods coexisted, and a group of immortal emperors and Buddhas, and the gods and saints of the heavenly level were alive, it would be ok. The demon world might have retreated in the face of difficulties.

But this assumption is not true. When things develop to this point, those fairyland Buddha kingdoms and divine holy lands still have no intention of opening up. Not to mention the heavenly immortals, the earthly immortals are nowhere to be seen. Only one Wandao Academy is barely supporting the situation. How can the outer demon world be deterred?

So, the red moon comes again, and the offensive is strengthened!

Although the Wandao Academy is prepared this time, it should not cause a large-scale demon disaster, but what about the next time?

Six hundred years later, one thousand two hundred years later, two thousand four hundred years later...

The outer demon world will definitely increase its investment and continuously improve the power of the red moon and the power of demon stain.

Can the Wandao Academy defend once, twice, three times, four times, eight times, nine times, ten times, and a hundred times?

In the outer demon world, there are probably terrifying demon gods comparable to the golden immortals. This world must at least have a celestial immortal stand out to rely on the momentum of the home court to stop the invasion of the other side.

But where are the celestial immortals?

When will those fairyland Buddha kingdoms and divine holy lands be opened up?

In the cave, Yuzhao was quietly reciting the Taoist scriptures, but she had inexplicable thoughts, which spread in her heart, and it was difficult to cut them off even with the sword of Taoist wisdom.

On the other side...

In the mountain room, in front of the ground furnace, the Taoist sat quietly, as calm as an ancient well, ignoring the changes in the sky, and only looking at the fire in front of him.

The fire in the furnace was pure green, and it was silvery white, combining the power of heaven and earth, creating the power of thunder, and trying to refine something.

The Taoist held a whisk in his hand, looked up, then lowered his eyes, muttered to himself, and smiled softly.

"It's time!"

"Open the furnace!"
