Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Facing this extremely deep pit, He Ping's eyes suddenly tightened, and his face became a little solemn.

In the depths of the endless purgatory black flames, a vague shadow can be seen. From the big formation, a vast breath can be felt, seeping out from the strong seal of disaster.

"This is..."

He Ping felt more and more that he underestimated the arrangement of the Lord of the Divine Court. After he came to this world, he could be said to be quite cautious.

Although he originally thought that as long as the Lord of the Divine Court and the Eight Heavenly Kings left this timeline, there would not be too many real "strong enemies" that could threaten him in this era, but now, this idea still underestimated the world.

"At present, there is one more person who can directly threaten me."

In fact, Ksitigarbha Saint Emperor may be one, and there should be an old guy in the other shore fairy palace who is a little threatening to him... In addition, the old immortals of the eight departments of the Divine Court all joined hands, which was somewhat troublesome.

He didn't take the rest too seriously. This is not because He Ping is so arrogant that he doesn't care about others, but because he knows how big his advantage is.

However, in the deepest sinkhole in the Earth Abyss, there is indeed a mysterious, deep, and powerful existence that is enough to make him a little scared.

Huh...

He exhaled and smiled slightly.

"The old saying is right, it's better to be careful... I don't have to rush for a while, after all, compared to me, some people will be more anxious."

As he spoke, He Ping disappeared. As soon as he left, the void where he stayed shook slightly, and a figure flew out.

This person was wearing golden clothes and looked ordinary, but through his body, he showed a hidden temperament... This temperament was as deep as the time and space of hell, which could hide everything. It seemed to be a mysterious existence, dormant for a while, as if hidden in the depths of the underworld, dark and bottomless.

"Someone came here... and touched the seal here," the man in the golden robe was very mysterious, and no one knew where he came from. He glanced around and a thought was sent out. Everything around him was vivid. After a long time of investigation, there was no gain.

"Is it my illusion?"

The man in the golden robe frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something, but it seemed that he had found nothing. As soon as his figure moved, he disappeared without a trace.

...

Because of the huge mistake made by the underworld, after the parade ceremony was interrupted, Jin Chengliang and others were also recalled to the heavenly time and space.

Originally, Jin Chengliang was also involved in the vortex of Xuanying, Zhu Ming and others assassinating the Blood Lotus Prince.

It should be noted that Xuanying, Zhu Ming and others were calculated because they were trying to hunt down Jin Chengliang and work for "Unique King" Xie Lingjiao.

In theory, if they really investigated, Jin Chengliang would be the first to be targeted. If they followed the clues, they would naturally be able to find some clues.

However, He Ping cleverly reversed and twisted all kinds of countless secrets and destiny, making it impossible for anyone to detect. Jin Chengliang became a small transparent person in this incident and became a marginal character in this vortex event.

Jin Chengliang's experience in the underworld was also rewritten, almost unrelated to this incident. Instead, he had another adventure in the old site of the Diyuan Realm in the underworld, and his cultivation was promoted and broke through the level of entering the Tao.

After he returned to Yuanlangzong Jingtian in the Divine Court Heaven, he was immediately appreciated by the top leaders of the Doubu, and stood out from the students of the Baidouxing Pavilion to become a disciple of a righteous god.

This righteous god, named Yin Yisou, is a disciple of Tai Liuxianjun and an old righteous god in the Doubu.

…

In a fairyland somewhere in Yuanlangzong Jingtian, there are many fairy islands suspended.

On these fairy islands, the ground air rises up and turns into colorful clouds, with golden flowers and silver trees everywhere, white jade as steps, and many high platforms and pavilions with sandalwood as beams and gold and jade as pillars, which look extremely magnificent.

On the suspended fairy island, tall and majestic buildings are stacked layer by layer, as if they were arranged into a formation.

Deep in the formation, in a pavilion, there is an ancient bamboo house, which seems to be the place where practitioners live.

There is also a cushion in the bamboo house. In front of the alchemy furnace in the center, an old man is sitting upright, with white hair and beard, eyes closed, and a stream of air from heaven and earth between his breaths.

This is a master who has reached the peak of the divine realm and has cultivated the way of "refining the void".

This master is the hermit, with a fairy style and a Taoist bone, and only one step away from the opportunity to break through to the fairy god level.

In fact, there are many people with cultivation like the hermit in the heavenly court.

"Good disciple, how are you practicing the fairy art of "Eight Extremes Returning to God" that I taught you?"

The hermit was very satisfied with this disciple, slowly opened his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"The method of returning the Eight Extremes to the Gods is a unique skill created by our master, the Immortal Tai Liu. When you practice it to a high level, you can create eight clones that are exactly the same as you at will, and it seems that each clone has the same strength as the original."

Halfway through his words, the hermit used this immortal technique directly. He sat on the futon and pinched a spell, and immediately split into another eight clones, which quickly moved in the void.

Jin Chengliang only took a glance and could feel that these eight clones could attack at any time, from any point in front, back, up, down, and all directions.

"Kill!"

One of the clones shouted: "The Yi Dao transforms, and the Eight Extremes return to the Gods."

These eight incarnations of the reclusive old man wrapped him up without knowing what movements they made, and then swept into a ball with overwhelming power. They suddenly exploded and turned into many starlight runes, like a sea of ​​stars, regenerating the universe.

Immediately afterwards, destructive power fluctuations began to explode outside, and Jin Chengliang was swept into the center of the storm in an instant.

"not good!"

Jin Chengliang didn't expect that Yin Yisou would do it as soon as he said it. His movements were not slow. His body twisted like a boneless dragon. He suddenly roared, and his voice was like a silk thread thrown into the sky. His whole body was like a swimming dragon. Potential bursts out in a very short period of time.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish... A flow of air immediately surrounded his body. As it passed quickly, eight more shadows split out. They formed seals with their hands and launched a move.

Blocked the surrounding attacks for him.

"break!"

While Jin Chengliang was performing the Eight Extremes Return to Immortal Technique that he had just learned, he tore the void and shuttled out. The moment he escaped!

boom! Earth-shattering explosions emanated from the areas they were in contact with, but this explosion had no effect on the restricted bamboo building.

This bamboo building is the place where the hermit old man practices. It is full of various formations. The power of the explosion is absorbed by various small worlds without any impact.

"Okay, okay!"

Yin Yisou laughed.

He was at the peak of his divine power. Although he did not use his full strength, this move of the Eight Extremes Returning to the Immortal Technique was also extremely powerful. If Jin Chengliang had not exceeded his own limit, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die.

"My master also looks down upon you a little... It seems that your Baji Guishen magic power has at least 60% of that of the Fire Lord."

"What a risk!"

Jin Chengliang breathed a sigh of relief: "I really didn't expect that this eight-pole return to the immortal technique would have such a change. Each self-clone can burn its own cultivation, just like consuming its life span, the demon will disintegrate, and each will explode with full strength. One blow... isn't this equivalent to having several times more combat power?"

"Exactly."

Yin Yisou nodded.

"This eight-pole art of returning to the gods is derived from the innate Shuiyuan Emperor Yuan Shen Dharma body cultivated by the 'Way of the Nine Symbols of Shuiyuan'... However, it has been modified by your master Tailiu himself, and its power has increased and is even more powerful. Many wonderful things.”

He explained: "In the Middle Ages, the Taoism of the Three-Yuan Demon Palace violated the law of heaven, and it was extremely difficult to practice. Among them, the Nine Symbols of Shuiyuan, it is very difficult to achieve, especially the Shuiyuan Emperor Yuan Shen Dharmakaya. Ordinary people will not achieve anything if they don't cultivate to the point of manifesting their spiritual power.

As for the Eight Extremes Returning to the Immortal Technique created by your master Tailiu Immortal Lord, you don’t have so many scruples. Even at the level of Taoism, it can condense eight external incarnations. With these eight extra boosts, there are eight more times combat power. "

"Thank you, my master, for teaching me such magical powers."

Jin Chengliang's face showed a very grateful look, and he half-knelt down.

"Disciple, there is no need to be polite."

Yin Yisou laughed loudly: "You and I are masters and disciples, and I should teach you my skills... However, although you have entered Taoism, you have outstanding potential. If not, it would be impossible for you to master this in a very short period of time." The magical power of the door creates fire."

"It's just that your cultivation level is still too shallow, and your magic power and true energy are not enough, so you can't really use the Eight Extremes Returning to God Immortal Technique. The Eight Extremes Returning to God only has a 60% fire level, and its power is limited. It can't be used against ordinary monks. , it’s hard to say when you meet a real master.”

"However, it is not difficult to solve this matter. I will give you a magic weapon later to make up for the shortage of your magic power and energy. In addition, there is one more thing that you need to do as a teacher."

"Teacher, please explain clearly."

Jin Chengliang asked in a low voice.

"There will be a big competition in the Heavenly Court soon, and the eight tribes will send people to participate, and you are one of them... There are restrictions on the participants in this competition, and their cultivation will not exceed the Dao level. The teacher has already replaced Once you have signed up, you will compete on behalf of Dou Bu."

Yin Yisou's simple explanation.

It turns out that the Celestial Court often holds various competitions and arena competitions. But this time, it is held by the big shots of the Lei Department, and various rankings are divided every time. Those who can stand out in the competition will also be appreciated by the heads of the Eight Departments of Shenting and receive many benefits.

Not to mention anything else, every time this kind of arena competition held by the Divine Court, generous rewards will be given out.

"The reward comes second."

Yin Yisou said unhurriedly: "Our Dou Bu doesn't lack anything, we always have a lot of resources. It's just that Dou Bu is called a 'fight', so of course it means fighting against the sky and the earth, and fighting against everything.

The Fighting God Generals of the Dou Department are even more powerful than the other eight divisions. If they fail to gain a good reputation in the ring competition and fail to win the jackpot, they will inevitably be looked down upon by the other divisions. "

He coughed softly: "On the other hand, Doubu is very famous and has always been able to obtain rankings in competitions. This also brings about a troublesome thing, that is, Doubu's many outstanding disciples and young geniuses, They will all be targeted by all forces.”

"It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on him."

Jin Chengliang said unhurriedly: "Since it is a big competition, even in the sky, the winner must be decided in the ring. As long as you are strong enough, you are not afraid of what others will do..."

"hehe."

The hermit chuckled and said, "It's okay to say that, but the other party may not follow these rules. Others always have ways to use some tricks. For example, before the competition, they can find those outstanding young masters, as well as talented and potential players to challenge them."

He explained.

"The Dou Department is very relaxed about all kinds of challenges and duels. As long as you feel qualified to fight me, you can invite me to fight in public or issue a letter of challenge in advance. All are welcome."

"Many talented people in our Dou Department never refuse such invitations and challenges, unless the strength of both parties is too different. Otherwise, as long as they come to challenge, there is naturally no need to retreat."

"However, this point can be easily taken advantage of by others. The tactics used by the other party is to actively send medium-grade horses and inferior horses to challenge and invite our Dou Department's superior horses, and use this tactic to influence the young masters of the Dou Department little by little. You must know that in such a duel, it is inevitable to suffer some minor injuries. Although it does not affect their participation in the game, this small flaw will inevitably become a disadvantage in the battle when encountering masters of equal strength."

This can be said to be an open conspiracy. Who makes the Dou Department fearless of all kinds of duels and invitations? For a long time, many young masters of the Dou Department have been arrogant and never refuse face-to-face battles.

This also gives others the opportunity to cheat. If the opponent actively invites you to fight, you cannot refuse casually due to the habits of the Dou Department. Once you suffer a minor injury, it will become a fatal flaw in the final arena showdown.

"So, this time, you are the ambush prepared by our Dou Department."

The hermit said slowly: "In the next month, I will teach you a few more magical skills and try to improve your strength to a higher level. Of course, you need to hide your strength in the middle and not be too ostentatious in the big competition... In case, those young talents in the Dou Department lose, you will enter the finals as a dark horse and win a good name for our Dou Department."

"I see."

Jin Chengliang nodded.

"It is my honor to win glory for the Dou Department... I will do my best in this matter and will not let my teacher down."

"It's enough that you have this heart."

The hermit nodded with a smile.

"I will take this opportunity to tell you what powerful figures will appear in this competition of the Heavenly Court... Oh, by the way, there is another force in this competition of the Heavenly Court. Disciple, you must be careful."

The righteous god seemed to have thought of something, and his face became a little solemn.

"This competition is completely different from the previous ones. The underworld will also send experts to participate. However, the other party is not friendly! You must be careful of this when you come to the competition!"
