Chapter 194 Risking one's life【4K】 "A group of ants dare to defy the will of heaven?" Seeing so many monks coming to kill him, Taoist Jingnie showed a hint of impatience. But he used all his strength to suppress Liu Xuanheng and cast a talisman formation to trap Liu Xuanheng inside. This talisman formation was composed of five third-grade low-grade treasure talismans. The power it unleashed was almost equivalent to that of several fake elixirs working together, and it actually trapped Liu Xuanheng inside. At the same time, the fake pill queen bee, the fake pill puppet, and the purple-scaled dragon python all freed up their hands and started killing the blood puppets and the Liu family's foundation-building cultivators. For a moment, the foundation-building cultivators present were almost killed like rain. Even the formation held up by Taoist Wuyun and the fake pill puppet controlled by Ye Linyuan were beaten back step by step. "Ugh." Seeing this scene, Ye Linyuan realized that it was probably too late to save the situation. Taoist Jingnie's trump card is too powerful. As a third-level low-grade talisman maker, he has refined more than a dozen third-level low-grade talismans over the years, but he has only successfully refined this set of third-level talisman formations.
This set of talismans has been nurtured by Taoist Jingnie for many years. Its power and value have far exceeded that of a third-grade mid-grade talisman. The power it can exert in a short period of time is almost equivalent to that of five fake elixirs working together. This kind of trump card should be one of the most important ones even in the Xinghuo Sect, and it is also the biggest trump card that the Taoist Jingnie uses to dominate the Seven Domain Alliance. Generally speaking, unless it was a life-and-death battle with a powerful enemy in the middle stage of the Golden Core, Taoist Jingnie might not be willing to take out this treasure, but at this time Taoist Jingnie took it out with great decisiveness. It was obvious that this person was prepared to end the battle quickly and kill Liu Xuanheng as soon as possible to prevent him from escaping and thus miss the opportunity to kill him. Because Liu Xuanheng's methods were beyond his expectations, he had already played many trump cards but still failed to kill Liu Xuanheng. Once he missed this opportunity, all his previous efforts would be wasted. By the time Liu Xuanheng recovered from his injuries and lost his cultivation, he would have used up many of his trump cards. The difficulty of defeating Liu Xuanheng would increase several times. "As long as I kill him, my cultivation will break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and all the losses today can be compensated." At this time, Liu Xuanheng, who was in the formation, also revealed boundless murderous intent after seeing this scene. In a very short time, Liu Xuanheng judged that he could no longer escape, so he revealed a hint of boundless murderous intent. "Master Jingnie, even if I die today, I will not let you have an easy life." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuanheng actually gave up resisting the talisman formation. Instead, he used the talisman formation to destroy his physical body. In an instant, he turned into a blood-red sword wrapped in a golden elixir and flew out of the sky, rushing straight towards Taoist Jingnie. "Blood Demon Disintegration Technique!" Faced with such an attack, Taoist Jingnie's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately opened up the golden ancient bell magic weapon to protect himself. At this moment, Liu Xuanheng used the life-fighting method, which was the secret life-fighting method inherited from the Blood Soul Old Ghost. This method transforms one's own blood, essence and flesh into a sword, and with the addition of the power of the golden elixir, it can burst out with ultimate power at the critical moment. Such a life-threatening method was enough to severely damage the Golden Elixir master, but the Taoist Jingnie had no intention of dodging at all. Because once he dodged, Liu Xuanheng would surely take the opportunity to escape. For a Jindan cultivator, the destruction of the physical body is not a fatal injury. As long as the Jindan is still there, the physical body can be rebuilt in the future. Although the potential will be greatly reduced after the body is recast, and the possibility of breaking through the middle stage of the Golden Core will be greatly reduced, it is still much better than death. So after a split second of judgment, Taoist Jingnie used all his strength to activate his body-protecting energy and magic weapons to resist, while on the other hand he used his supernatural powers to resist.
At the same time, he also summoned the Queen Bee and the Purple Scaled Python to help encircle the puppet. Only the fake Dan puppet was entangled by Ye Linyuan and could not go back to help. "puff--" In just a moment, the blood sword, which had been condensed to the extreme, destroyed everything and knocked the golden ancient bell away on the spot. What's more, the bloody energy penetrated the protective aura of the Taoist Master Jingnie, leaving deep scars in his body that were visible to the bone. It can be said that the Taoist Master Jingnie has been seriously injured, but achieving this step is already the limit of Liu Xuanheng. After all, he is not in his prime. Now he had suffered severe injuries one after another. After a brief outburst, he was unable to defeat the Taoist Master Jingnie. Having lost his physical body and had no successors, he had no chance to kill him. So after a moment, he suddenly shot back, even squeezing out the last source of the golden elixir to explode completely, turning it into a blood sword that tore through the sky and unexpectedly slashed at the golden-patterned queen bee on the side. The Fake Dan Queen Bee was very powerful, but she was still far behind in the face of the final blow from the Golden Dan Mighty who was fighting at the risk of his life. The fake queen bee rushed to help, but was caught off guard by the sudden life-threatening attack and her body was torn apart almost at the first sight. She was beheaded in the vast sky. At the same time, Liu Xuanheng, who had exhausted his last bit of strength, could only transform into vast Taoist energy and began to disappear between heaven and earth. "Ugh--" Ye Linyuan sighed slightly, and immediately ordered the fake Dan puppet to retreat into the sea. The remaining members of the Liu clan, as well as Taoist Wuyun, Old Ghost Xuehun and others also suppressed their injuries and fled into the sea. The Taoist Jingnie above the sky frowned, but did not send anyone to hunt down the fake pill puppet and the people who escaped. If he wants to keep the fake pill puppet, he must at least do it himself, or send two fake pill fighters to have a greater chance of success. This time he came alone, having used up most of his cards, and he himself was seriously injured. Among the three fake pill forces, the queen bee has been completely killed, and the remaining two fake pill forces have also consumed a lot of energy. And next, he also has to devour the Dao essence left by Liu Xuanheng. If he leaves for too long until the Dao essence completely dissipates, then all his efforts will be in vain. When he devours the Dao Essence, he must have a Fake Dan-level fighter to stay behind to protect him, because once he sends two Fake Dan-level fighters to hunt down the Fake Dan puppet, he will be in the most dangerous situation after being seriously injured. "It is still too risky to kill fellow practitioners of the same level." Taoist Jingnie sighed slightly in his heart, revealing a look of helplessness. The best way to travel the Road of Swallowing Dao is to kill cultivators whose cultivation is one level lower than yours, because you with a higher cultivation level can suppress the opponent's strength. In this way, even if the opponent has a powerful trump card, you can be sure of winning. If both parties are at the same realm, then one will not be able to suppress the other. In this case, once the enemy has a powerful trump card, it is very likely that the swallowing of the Tao will fail or even turn over. In order to break through the middle stage of Jindan this time, Taoist Jingnie took a risk. Although he succeeded in killing him in the end by relying on his own trump card, he also paid an extremely huge price. “Hopefully this adventure will be worth it.” Taoist Jingnie thought this in his heart, but finally suppressed all thoughts and began to devour the Taoist essence left between heaven and earth by Liu Xuanheng. At the same time, Ye Linyuan quietly took back the fake pill puppet, took the dying Wuyun Taoist with him, and went quietly into the deep sea. Along the way, Ye Linyuan personally treated Taoist Wuyun's injuries, and it took several days for Taoist Wuyun to recover a little bit of his vitality. After his injuries stabilized, Taoist Wuyun first thanked Ye Linyuan, then sighed and said, "This time, we underestimated Taoist Jingnie."
"Is the path to Dan formation such a terrible dead end?" Ye Linyuan didn't say much, but could only sigh in his heart. He had walked this path before, so he naturally understood the difficulty and expense of this path. If there were no great enemies blocking the way, independent cultivators and cultivators from small families might still have a chance to achieve enlightenment, but if there were people blocking the way, then this path would almost be a dead end. "Fellow Daoist Liu never believed in fate. He paid every price to change his destiny, but unfortunately, he failed in the end." Taoist Wu Yun spoke slowly, and after a long while he said dejectedly: "Are we all destined to be unable to change our fate?" At this moment, Taoist Wuyun looked at Ye Linyuan, and a trace of compassion appeared in his eyes. Liu Xuanheng, Taoist Wuyun, and Ye Linyuan, the three of them share the same fate. The enemy of the Great Dao that Liu Xuanheng faced was a Jindan master of the same realm. Logically, he was the person most likely to defy fate and change his destiny, but Liu Xuanheng failed in the end. The person with the same fate as Taoist Wuyun has only reached the second level of Golden Elixir, and he probably won't be given a chance to break through to the Golden Elixir realm. Ye Linyuan's fellow sufferer is the leader of Canghai Sect, who is known as the strongest golden elixir master in the Seven Domain Alliance. The difficulty for him to survive the golden elixir catastrophe is probably much greater than that for the two of them. Now that Liu Xuanheng, who had the highest success rate in refining, had failed, the possibility of the two of them surviving the catastrophe was probably much smaller and weaker. "Ugh." Ye Linyuan also sighed slightly. He didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, for him, even if Liu Xuanheng and Taoist Wuyun broke through the golden elixir, it would not be of much help to him. Because once these two people break through the golden elixir, even if they come to help him protect his way, they will attract each other's enemies, which will bring more variables to Ye Linyuan's elixir formation. If Ye Linyuan wants to break through to the Jindan stage, he has to prepare his own trump card for the Jindan stage. "We have risen from humble beginnings, so the road ahead will naturally be full of ups and downs." "But you have to believe in yourself. Only after thousands of trials and tribulations can you forge the strongest sword." Ye Linyuan spoke slowly and finally patted Taoist Wu Yun on the shoulder and said, "No matter what the road ahead holds, you and I just need to take every step now and do our best." "..." After bidding farewell to Taoist Wuyun, Ye Linyuan strolled in the vast ocean, quietly contemplating the true meaning of the ocean as he walked. Everything is quiet tonight, and the ocean is as boundless as an abyss. A bright moon rises from the end of the ocean, and the brilliant moonlight shines between heaven and earth, showing the splendid and magnificent wonders of heaven and earth. The moon rises over the sea! Ye Linyuan watched this scene quietly, and a wave of emotion slowly emerged in his heart. Legend has it that in ancient times, when the bright moon rose from the sea, infinite Tao aura would emerge between heaven and earth. The ancient sages realized the Tao of the rising moon from the sea and eventually created the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. At this time, Ye Linyuan had not yet realized the essence of the universe, but as he watched the miraculous sight of the bright moon rising from the ocean, he was plunged into a state of enlightenment. In a trance, he seemed to be traveling in the sky, quietly appreciating the wonders of the world, and wisps of Taoism continued to manifest in his sea of consciousness. At this moment, Ye Linyuan seemed to understand something.
After the nine heavens were destroyed, the heaven and earth were incomplete, the great way was not apparent, and it was difficult for people in the world to understand the great way. But, the Tao is always there. The Tao is in your heart. Practice diligently with a calm mind, return to the origin and keep oneness, and you will realize the mystery by yourself. The path is under your feet. Keep moving forward step by step, and you will reach the sky by overcoming all obstacles. The Tao is in the world. If you enter the world and understand all living beings, you can also transcend it. Tao is in heaven and earth. The sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes and seas are all created by Tao. "In the heart, under the feet, in the world, in the heaven and earth." Ye Linyuan felt it with his heart, seized the opportunity of enlightenment, and quietly comprehended the bright moon rising over the sea, as wisps of Tao aura evolved in his sea of consciousness. I don't know how long it has been. The three major magic spells of Autumn Water and Long Sky, White Moon Shining and Bright River Sharing Shadow have all stepped into the realm of pseudo-supernatural powers. And within Ye Linyuan's dantian, the bright moon in the sky, the long autumn sky, the pure moon shining, and the bright river casting a shadow, the Taoist essence of the four pseudo-divine powers continued to evolve and turned into a flawless Taoist essence engraved on the Taoist foundation. The natural foundation of the great way seemed to have reached an indescribable realm at this moment. At this moment, Ye Linyuan vaguely understood in his heart that his Cang Hai Ming Yue Taoist foundation had been completely perfected, and it was a kind of indescribable flawless state. If the ordinary great perfection of foundation building is the 'acquired Taoist foundation', then Ye Linyuan's current Cang Hai Ming Yue Taoist foundation is the 'innate Taoist foundation'. This is a truly natural and flawless foundation of Taoism that is derived from the essence of Taoism, rather than a perfect foundation that is crafted after birth. "Although the foundation of acquired carving can be exquisitely crafted, it still has traces of artificial carving. It is impossible to reach the state of natural perfection. After all, it is still a step short of it." “Only by realizing the Dao and using the Dao essence to develop the Dao foundation can one truly achieve a flawless Dao foundation that is naturally formed.” At this moment, Ye Linyuan seemed to understand something. He used to think that the Tao foundation acquired through acquired cultivation was almost the same as the Tao foundation acquired naturally, but now it seems that he was wrong. No matter whether it is the foundation of Tao carved with magic power, or the foundation of Tao perfected by devouring the Tao essence of others through the way of swallowing Tao, in the end, there is no self-realization of the Tao. The foundation of Tao that is formed naturally is even more natural. This gap may not be obvious at a low level, but after stepping into the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun, both of them are figures at the level of peerless geniuses, and this gap may be able to determine the life and death of the two Yuanying Zhenjuns. "In my previous life, I had never set foot in this field. Although I cultivated a superior golden elixir, I only evolved eight elixir patterns at first." "If I can cultivate the innate foundation of Taoism in this life, when I break through to the golden elixir stage in the future, I will be able to cultivate a perfect nine-pattern golden elixir." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart, and at this moment he seemed to have realized something. He already understood a little bit. They were both the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir, the one who had cultivated the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir from birth. It should be stronger than cultivating the eight-patterned golden elixir and then refining the third-level rare and precious items to make up for the foundation and break through the golden elixir to perfection. However, those who can cultivate the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir by nature are extremely rare geniuses, and most of them are true spirits of heaven and earth like Teng Snake. Or he must be a rare genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years in a top Nascent Soul sect. It would be difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul sect to cultivate such a genius.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan put the thought aside, slowly stood up and walked towards Yejia Island. "The foundation of Taoism has been completed. The next step is to work hard to improve the magic power." (End of this chapter)
