Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 369: Protective Flame Shield and Unexpected (make up for the thousand words I owed yesterday)

In Liu Yu's view, Taoist Ziyun said a lot in one breath, but most of it was meaningless nonsense.

To put it roughly, going up the mountain requires a "qualification test", and not everyone is qualified to watch the battle.

Only when one has considerable strength and is recognized by many comrades can one go up the mountain.

In the final analysis, it is to gain the approval of Baiyun Temple.

Baiyun Temple will send a monk to each realm as a person to test the qualifications. Only by defeating this person can you go up the mountain to watch the battle.

As for the monks in the Qi refining stage, they just said it lightly for fear of worrying about their lives, so they didn't mention it any more.

"This is unreasonable. Tianwang Mountain is a land without an owner."

"I can come and leave whenever I want. Why do I need your approval from Baiyunguan if I want to go up the mountain?"

At this time, the strange voice from before sounded in the field again.

"snort"

This kind of trick can be deceived by ordinary foundation-building monks, but how can it be deceived by Taoist Ziyun who is at the peak of foundation-building?

I saw this person's eyes were like lightning, looking towards the crowd below, locking in a certain direction and letting out a cold snort.

"Uh-huh!"

No movement was seen, but a scream was heard immediately.

In the crowd, some people staggered back and covered their heads in pain.

"Sacred consciousness attack!"

Some of the monks watching the battle were well-informed and recognized this extremely rare secret technique.

"Ziyun has reached the peak of foundation building for a long time, and he has the best spiritual weapon in his body, plus the secret method of spiritual consciousness."

"I'm afraid no one among us can be his enemy."

Among the crowd, a monk whispered.

"The secret method of divine consciousness."

"Sure enough, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the less likely it is that there will be obvious shortcomings in all aspects."

Liu Yu's face was solemn. This was the first time he saw a monk other than himself perform the secret technique of spiritual attack.

He secretly warned himself that he should not look down on other monks just because they have a unique "magic method to preserve the spirit".

Especially this kind of monk who is the direct descendant of a large family and has a far-reaching reputation.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how powerful he is, Taoist Ziyun, there is only one person."

"Can I still be left waiting for so many of my comrades to be helpless?"

Among the crowd, the clever monk continued to encourage.

He said some radical remarks and wanted to make the matter as big as possible.

Liu Yu couldn't help but look sideways, focusing on the shrewd monk with sinister features, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

"Could it be that this person was sent here by the sect?"

"The purpose is to muddy the waters."

No wonder he had such thoughts. In fact, several of the monks watching the battle were instigating it. They seemed to really want a conflict between the cultivators and Baiyun Temple, which was not like the position of ordinary monks at all.

Although the influence of the sect is not yet here, it would be too easy if we just arrange for a few monks to come over.

However, there are very few stupid people who can practice the foundation-building stage, and naturally they will not turn against Baiyun Temple just because of a few words.

Once Taoist Ziyun's "qualifications for climbing the mountain" were told, the monks who felt they had some strength fell silent.

Although most monks are unwilling to give in, they still want to make some efforts to make Baiyun Temple make more concessions.

But their strength is relatively insufficient, so they can only accept the reality helplessly.

The originally powerful group of cultivators fell apart in an instant, and the cultivators watched the changes with twinkling eyes.

They are not in the same group, so there is no need to consider others.

"Why did Senior Brother Ziyun arrange it like this?"

"If you let these people go up, will it disturb the plans of the masters and uncles?"

The man in blue robe who originally retreated from Baiyun Temple was a little puzzled when he saw this, and sent a message to Ziyun to ask the reason.

"It's okay, they're just a bunch of rabble."

"Since they are rushing to die, why should we stop them?"

"You need to know that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain!"

Taoist Ziyun replied calmly, with a mature and solemn tone.

Seeing that the resistance from the group of cultivators was much weaker, he immediately ordered three fellow disciples to step out from the crowd and accept the challenge from the cultivators who wanted to be qualified to watch the battle.

These three people are male and female, with different cultivation levels. There is one person in the early, middle and late stages of foundation building.

Although they are not famous, as monks from large sects, their strength is definitely better than ordinary casual cultivators and monks from small forces.

It is not that simple to draw a tie or win a battle.

The monks of Guanzhan come from all over the world and have worked hard to cultivate the realm of foundation building. They have their own pride. Of course, they will not give in so easily.

Almost at the next moment, Liu Yu saw someone standing out from the crowd and launching a challenge without any stage fright.

Soon, a large area at the foot of the mountain was vacated for the purpose of fighting.

The two sides greeted each other with a few words of courtesy and then exchanged blows unceremoniously.

"Bang" "Bang" "Ding"

The roaring sound of magic weapons and spells resounded continuously at the foot of the mountain, spread far across the mountains, and startled a flock of birds.

Liu Yu stood among the group of cultivators, staring intently at the three fighting scenes, secretly assessing the strength of both sides.

What surprised him was that the challenger in the late stage of foundation building was none other than Zhao Biao whom he had talked to not long ago.

This person is actually an extremely rare body cultivator!

Zhao Biao wore a pair of bright silver boxing gloves. When he struck, his body expanded and cracked his clothes, revealing large areas of bronze skin and muscles.

He waved his arms with great force, and every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground.

Swinging out a punch with infinite power, he easily knocked away the top-grade magic weapon of the monk from Baiyun Temple.

"Bang bang bang!!"

For a time, Zhao Biao had unrivaled momentum and firmly put his opponent at a disadvantage.

But the good times didn't last long.

After the other party took out a high-grade spiritual weapon, he seemed to be at a loss and did not dare to use the high-grade spiritual weapon.

Liu Yu observed carefully and found that the gloves he was wearing were only top-quality magical weapons.

If it's too tough with a high-grade spiritual weapon, it may be scrapped soon, so it seems to be constrained.

Moreover, although this person is a physical practitioner in the late stage of foundation building, he is not intact even if he uses his physical body to withstand the attacks of top-quality magic weapons.

Every time he resisted hard, a trace of blood would be left on his body.

In the high-intensity confrontation, in just a few breaths, there were already seven or eight deep blood stains.

If this continues, the injuries will become more and more serious.

In fact, according to Liu Yu's understanding.

Ordinary physical training techniques, even if they are practiced to the peak of foundation building, can only be able to withstand the attack of the best magic weapon without being damaged.

And high-grade spiritual weapons can still cause effective damage to second-level peak physical cultivation.

As part of the core of the civilization of cultivating immortals, magic weapons and magic weapons have been passed down for millions of years and have become quite mature. They cannot be summed up simply, otherwise they would not have become the mainstream of the world of cultivating immortals today.

What exists is reasonable.

Even the top body cultivation techniques, practiced to the second level, can only barely connect the physical body to a first-class spiritual weapon, and one has to be careful.

If faced with the best spiritual weapon, you still have to run away.

This sluggish situation will only get better after the golden elixir stage with physical magical powers.

This also leads to the fact that when you are in the first or second level of physical cultivation, you will be at a disadvantage when facing weaker monks of the same level, and you will easily fall midway.

It can also be regarded as one of the reasons for the decline of physical cultivation.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu did not rashly embark on the path of dual cultivation of Dharma and body.

He has the Immortal Mansion to rely on, and his eyesight is naturally extraordinary. He is no longer like ordinary monks, but wants to compare with the best geniuses among his peers.

Be a "genius" who is proud of your peers.

He can keep a low profile and not show it, but with the unique advantage of Xianfu, he does not allow himself not to have this power.

To be able to beat the best magic weapon, for ordinary monks, it is enough to be proud of the same level.

But for Liu Yu, it was nothing more.

It's only as strong as the best magical weapon, but it's still too weak. If faced with figures like the Three Heroes and Four Heroes, it won't be enough under the sharp edge of the best spiritual weapon.

Unless it is the most mysterious physical training method in ancient times, one can receive the best spiritual weapon with bare hands at the peak of the second level without any damage to oneself.

Such as the Buddhist "Liu Zhang Golden Body", the Taoist "Dragon and Tiger Dharmakaya", and the "Xingtian Immortal Body" and other exercises.

He adhered to the principle of "better than indiscriminate". Since he could not find a suitable physical training method, he did not waste time on ordinary exercises, but chose to practice one intensively.

After cultivating to the pinnacle of Dharma cultivation, relying on the excellence of Qingyang Gong and giving full play to its various advantages, one can also stand at the pinnacle of the same level.

If you are lucky enough to form a golden elixir in the future, it will not be too late to develop in an all-round way.

In the field, the monks from Baiyun Temple knew the advantages of physical training, so they did not engage in close combat with him at all. They only used high-grade spiritual weapons to force the opponent back.

Zhao Biao's face turned red and angry, and he roared repeatedly, but there was nothing he could do.

"Someone admits defeat."

As his physical injuries became more and more serious, he suddenly shouted angrily, and then quickly retreated into the crowd.

The monk from Baiyunguan stopped pursuing and stood there with a smile on his face, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Zhao Biao was defeated here, and the other two teams also quickly determined the winner, but there were winners and losers.

A monk with an unattractive appearance defeated his opponent and successfully passed through the main road and headed up the mountain.

"With a record of two wins and one defeat, the strength of the Baiyunguan monks should not be underestimated."

"I want to go up the mountain to watch the battle, I'm afraid..."

In the crowd, some monks murmured to themselves after recognizing the difference in strength, and completely gave up on taking chances.

This is an ordinary monk with mediocre strength and no adventure.

There are also some monks who, after assessing the strength of their opponents, still have sufficient confidence in themselves and are eager to take the field.

However, Liu Yu moved a step faster at this time and was already face to face with the monk from Baiyun Temple.

He didn't know when the fight between Master Changfeng and Master Qingwei would begin and how long it would take to determine the winner. He didn't want to continue to waste time at the foot of the mountain.

"Hong Hao, a young man, came here to ask the fairy lady for advice."

Liu Yu put away the folding fan in her hand, raised her head high and gracefully, and raised her hands to the female cultivator at Baiyun Temple opposite.

He gave his pseudonym without changing his face, kept his current identity in mind, and changed some of his past habits.

"What is my poor Taoist's common name? Fellow Taoist, you are too polite."

The monk from Baiyunguan who was wearing a Taoist robe spoke. She was a female monk who looked like a middle-aged Taoist nun.

Perhaps it was because Liu Yu had a good external image at this time, but her tone was quite polite and she gave her hand.

"It turns out to be He Xiangu, Xiaosheng was offended."

Liu Yuyan said concisely and comprehensively.

After saying this, without waiting for an answer, he took out the dark yellow flying sword from his storage bag, injected mana into it, made a secret with both hands, and threw it out at an extremely fast speed.

Li Xuan Sword, Netherworld Soul-Severing Cone, Qingyang Demonic Fire, etc., as his reputation spread, I am afraid that the monks of Baiyun Temple have already known it.

To avoid exposing your identity, only unused magic weapons can be used.

The aura of the dark yellow flying sword was not outstanding, but suddenly it showed great power and shot towards the female cultivator surnamed He.

The latter's face became serious, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

It's just a fine magical weapon, but it exerts amazing power!

The female cultivator surnamed He has good skills and possesses a high-grade spiritual weapon. She just defeated her opponent relatively easily.

Liu Yu dared to play so quickly, so he was naturally confident.

The power of a magic weapon, in addition to its own quality, is also related to several aspects such as the monk's realm, magic power and spiritual consciousness.

There is a saying that "the sword is originally made of iron, but it becomes psychic by holding it".

His peak cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building is much better than that of his opponent. After the sixth demonic fire refining, his mana is somewhat purer than that of ordinary late stage monks.

In terms of spiritual consciousness, it is far beyond the limits of ordinary monks, reaching the level of eleven miles.

Combining all the advantages, even if it is just a top-grade magical weapon, I am confident that it will be better than the top-grade spiritual weapon commanded by the female cultivator surnamed He!

"ding ding"

The harsh sound of gold and iron sounded, and the swords collided and each retreated a short distance.

The inconspicuous dark yellow flying sword contains great power, and it has already gained an upper hand!

"This person has such profound magical power and cultivation. This kind of strength cannot be that of an unknown person. Who is he?"

During the brief confrontation, the female cultivator surnamed He felt tremendous pressure, and the magic power in her body was greatly shaken due to the involvement.

With a straight face, she guessed Liu Yu's identity.

But how could the female cultivator surnamed He have imagined that Liu Yu was the one Baiyun Temple wanted to get rid of, the infamous "Qingyang Demon"?

Not only did he not hide far away, he actually dared to go to the hinterland of Baiyun Temple to watch the battle!

The fight gradually became more intense, and Liu Yu also suppressed her smile.

He used two magical weapons, the dark yellow flying sword and the pink folding fan, to launch an offensive like a gust of wind and rain.

With the support of profound cultivation and magic power, the power of these two top-grade magical weapons is even more powerful than the top-grade spiritual weapons of the female cultivator surnamed He, so this woman can only resist them with all her strength!

"ding ding ding"

There was a fierce confrontation between magic weapons and spiritual weapons. In just one or two breaths, they collided hundreds of times.

Seeing the female cultivator surnamed He swinging several ice blades towards her, Liu Yu didn't even blink and her body didn't move.

It's like turning a blind eye.

It wasn't until the ice blade came within a dangerous distance of one foot that he thought about it.

A blue flame shield was seen condensing in front of him almost instantly, easily blocking several ice blades while remaining intact.

It was just that the aura dimmed slightly, but with a change of magic power, it quickly returned to its original state.

Protective flame shield!

The accompanying spells of the fundamental skill "Qingyang Gong" are activated very quickly and consume very little mana.

But power is closely related to mana. When mana is not pure and deep enough, power can only be regarded as average.

In the past, because the number of magic fire refining times was not high, it was difficult to withstand attacks from top-quality magic weapons and second-level spells, so it was rarely used in magic fights.

But now with the use of psychic energy, the number of magic fire refining times has increased rapidly, and it can finally come in handy and become a commonly used spell.

After Liu Yu's test, the current defensive power of the body-protecting flame shield is equivalent to that of a general top-grade defensive weapon.

Even if it comes face-to-face with a high-grade spiritual weapon, it can still resist it for a short time.

Moreover, this technique can be activated almost instantly, and the mana consumed is much less than the normal activation of a top-quality defensive magic weapon. It is very practical in magic fighting.

As the number of demon fire refining times increases, the power will continue to increase.

It is foreseeable that this method will definitely become his signature spell in the future, just like Qingyang Demonic Fire, mentioned by many monks.

Liu Yu's white clothes were fluttering and she was full of energy, with a confident smile on her face, and she was holding the magic formula in her hands slowly, looking like she was sure of victory.

On the other hand, the female cultivator surnamed He was under increasing pressure. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and the peaks on her chest were about to come out.

Although the top-grade spiritual weapon is sophisticated, it still cannot restore this woman's decline!

"Pindao admits defeat, please Hong Taoist friend to stop!"

After a few breaths, the female cultivator surnamed He spoke urgently.

"He Xiangu, Xiaosheng is slightly better, so I accept the offer."

Liu Yu waved to take back the two magic weapons and said politely.

"Fellow Daoist Hong has a high level of cultivation and profound magic power, and he is fully qualified to go up the mountain."

"I am ashamed of myself."

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Although her strength was inferior to others, the female cultivator surnamed He was extremely polite and even made a gesture of invitation while speaking.

She vaguely felt that Liu Yu might not have used her full strength yet, and she was far behind him.

At least there is such a monk, it is impossible not to have a high-grade spiritual weapon.

"The immortal lady is too modest, and the young man is just lucky enough to be able to defeat one and a half moves."

Liu Yu had a spring-like smile on her face, and there was no sign of her pressing forward during the fight just now.

Now that the road ahead is clear, there is no need to stay at the foot of the mountain.

He cupped his hands again and walked straight to the main road up the mountain.

As expected, the monks from Baiyun Temple along the way got out of the way without any obstruction.

"This boy is very powerful and can surpass Junior Sister He. Looking at the Nine Nations Alliance, he shouldn't be an unknown person."

"Hong Hao, I'm afraid it's just a pseudonym."

"Could this son be a monk from Yuanyang Sect, Waning Moon Valley or Hehuan Sect?"

The blue-robed man in Baiyun Temple looked at Liu Yu's back, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he guessed.

"The forces that stand on our side will not come here to watch the battle."

"No matter where this kid comes from, going up the mountain is just asking for death."

Taoist Ziyun replied.

Juzi's current strength is not worthy of his attention. He is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

Even if something is hidden, how much can be hidden?

"The outfit looks so familiar, could it be him?"

Standing on the mountain thoroughfare, Liu Yu turned around and looked down, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

This man was wearing a loose black robe with several cloth bags hanging around his waist. He was stepping into the arena to challenge himself and get the qualification to go up the mountain.

"blue"

"This person can escape from the mouth of a third-level monster that is equivalent to a Golden Core monk. He is not a simple monk~"

Liu Yu was deeply impressed by this outfit and could easily associate it with a certain person.

Although its appearance is somewhat different, and it may be disguised to some extent, in the spiritual sense, there is a feeling of déjà vu.

However, he had no intention of stopping and watching at this time. He turned around and used the wind control technique to take two or three feet at a time, and hurried towards the mountain, and soon disappeared at the foot of the mountain.

Even if it is Cang Lan, the two of them are not necessarily hostile.

Although I have had the idea of ​​​​killing people to seize the treasure, haven't I yet taken action?

…

Knowing that there were several golden elixir masters on the top of the mountain, Liu Yu did not dare to directly control the magic weapon to fly up in a high-profile manner, but honestly used his legs to hurry up.

He continued to use the wind control technique along the way, crossing the steep mountain path, and soon reached the top of the mountain.

The magic of concealment was secretly operating, changing his own aura. Liu Yu stepped onto the top of the mountain and glanced around, and quickly saw the scene on the top of the mountain clearly.

In the air, Chang Feng, a thin man with a short beard, was chatting with three Jin Dan masters who came to watch the battle.

Judging from their expressions and movements, they were chatting quite speculatively.

The five Golden Elixir Masters from Baiyun Temple were far away from Changfeng Master and others, staying in the air on the other side.

On the ground under his feet, there were only two foundation-building monks from Baiyun Temple in Taoist robes standing alone, motionless and not daring to kick.

As for the famous Qingwei Master of Baiyun Temple, he has not been seen yet.

Although the master always appears last, Changfeng Zhenren has been here for so long, and he still puts on airs and does not appear. Is it too much?

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind. After a quick glance, she didn't dare to look more, lest she offend a certain real person's taboo.

He went to an inconspicuous place and stood quietly next to the monk who came up first to observe the battle in the early stage of foundation building, and then waited quietly without saying a word.

"That's right. The Jindan forces still exist in Yan State, so there's no way they can stay aloof."

"Even if Master Jin Dan can stay out of the matter, his disciples, disciples, and family members cannot do the same."

Regarding the reason why Master Changfeng was not "alone" as he imagined, Liu Yu's mind turned and he quickly figured out the reason.

Obviously, the situation in Baiyun Temple seems to be over, and the Jindan forces that are still alive and well have made a choice and favored the three sects of Chu State.

No matter how much Zeng Jin agrees with his ideals and how deep his "old love" is, these are not worth mentioning in the face of the survival of his family and power.

Ideological identification will never be as important as the interests of family and power.

So they fell into the arms of the three sects of Chu State and found their "new love".

In the agreement for the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, although it was stipulated that Master Changfeng should come alone, it could not restrain the local monks of Yan State.

It is their freedom if these Jindan Daoists want to come and "watch the battle".

Yuanyang Sect can't take care of it, and Baiyun Temple can't say anything.

While Liu Yu was thinking and waiting silently, more and more monks were qualified to go up the mountain, and the monk who seemed to be Canglan was one of them.

This person also stood low-key among the monks watching the battle. Liu Yu couldn't help but look at him carefully, and met a pair of cold and familiar eyes.

Just this look, coupled with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, allowed him to completely confirm the identity of this person.

On the other side, Cang Lan frowned slightly and glanced at the white-clothed monk not far away, feeling strange and secretly alert.

Don't believe this is coincidence or curiosity.

In the Yan Kingdom, due to the existence of the "Spirit Control Sect", the practice of beast control was prevalent. It was a common thing for monks to hang several spirit beast bags around their waists.
