Ten miles before the Valley of Lost Souls, everyone gathered together.
Monk Jiu Ku first walked up to Qing Guzi, cupped his fists and said, "Three hundred years ago, Jiu Ku was entrusted by the Tathagata Hall of the Golden Buddha Temple to visit Qinglian Dojo and received a generous reception. It's a pity that he didn't see you, Lord Qing Guzi, at that time. My true self. I am honored to witness your grace today. I am truly blessed for three lifetimes."
Qing Guzi gave a slight salute and said: "If Xicheng Feng, the master of Qinglian Dojo, was not framed and fell by the demons of the Western Regions, I, an experienced Taoist, would not have come out. I can't even protect my nephew as the master, so how can I talk about style?"
Monk Jiuku said: "Lord Qingguzi, you are humble. Although you did not directly participate in the war between humans and demons a thousand years ago, you used the power of a sword to seal the northeastern exit of the demons from the Western Region to the Northern Region, and reversed the transformation of the Northern Region. The disadvantage of being besieged from two sides. People respect you as the Green Lotus Immortal who seals the sky with one sword."
Qing Guzi nodded slightly.
Monk Jiuku came to Lord Pingyun again, clasped his fists and said: "Master Pingyun, it is polite here in Jiuku of the Golden Buddha Temple. Master Pingyun, not only do you have Junior Brother Lu Qingyun who is the number one person in the Zhongyuan Continent, You are also the leader in formations. As the commander-in-chief of formations in the war between humans and demons a thousand years ago, you played an important role in coordinating the formations of the four major sects in the Northern Territory. The Great Movement Formation that later sealed the Western Region was also your masterpiece, which is really impressive. People admire him so much.”
Lord Pingyun said humbly: "Those are everyone's contributions. Everyone is responsible for suppressing the demon clan in the Western Region."
At this time, Yaksha Dragon Snake took back his spiritual pet giant snake into the Qiankun bag in his sleeve.
His pair of snake-shaped pupils stared at Monk Jiu Ku, with a cold light shining in his amber pupils.
Monk Jiuku turned around and saw Yaksha Dragon Snake staring at him. He quickly took a few steps forward and saluted solemnly, saying: "Master Yaksha Dragon Snake, you are the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect's Dharma Protector, and you have a great reputation. Qianduo Years ago, a group of evil cultivators took advantage of the war between humans and demons in the Northern and Western Regions to occupy the Thirty-Six Sky Islands in the southwest, which was rich in ethereal stones, and slaughtered all the 80,000 disciples on the Thirty-Six Sky Islands. It was known as the Sky Island in history. Evil disaster.”
After a pause, Monk Jiuku continued: "After that, you personally took action and killed these evil cultivators by yourself, leaving no one alive. According to the detailed records later, among the evil cultivators you killed There are as many as eighteen masters in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. In the following thousand years, evil cultivators in the Zhongyuan Continent no longer dared to form groups to cause trouble, and you were also revered as the Hell Snake God. It can be said with certainty that, Lord Yaksha Dragon Snake, you We have the strongest ghost combat power in the entire Zhongyuan world. Whether we can successfully break the disaster of Fengdu in the Valley of Lost Souls this time, you still need to put in a lot of effort."
However, Yaksha Dragon Snake seemed not to have heard Monk Jiu Ku's words. He stared at Monk Jiu Ku's position with his eyes and took a big step forward.
Monk Jiuku suddenly felt a thrill all over his body. He clearly saw a huge black snake leaping out from the pupil of the Yaksha Dragon Snake, and swallowed him in its bloody mouth.
A dark cold air rose from the heart of Monk Jiu Ku, turning into a black snake and locking his heart. His whole soul felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
"No! I've been hit! It's the pupil technique! It's the legendary snake fear technique, which is known as one of the most powerful assassination techniques!"
Monk Jiu Ku screamed in his heart and quickly activated the Ku Rong Secret Technique. A green branch drilled out from the tip of his heart and quickly transformed into a green dragon and started to fight with the dark black snake.
After two breaths, the black snake and green dragon coiled around his heart collapsed.
Monk Jiu Ku's frozen soul warmed up, his body regained its freedom, and he quickly took two big steps back.
Yaksha Dragon Snake stood on the spot, the swirling amber color in his eyes quickly converged, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: "This Jiu Ku Baldhead's cultivation has just reached the peak of the Void Fairy Realm, and it is not yet stable. I wanted to take the opportunity to swallow him." . I didn’t expect that the art of withering glory that he practiced and my art of snake soul are also rare soul forging arts. His soul is not much more powerful than mine, which is very interesting. "
Except for Ping Yunjun and Qing Guzi, no one else present knew anything about the secret contest between the two.
Seeing that his secret attack failed, Yaksha Dragon Snake unconsciously stretched out his thin black tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, and the drool dripping wet his clothes.
Yaksha Dragon Snake said: "Monk Jiu Ku, the evil disaster on the empty island you just mentioned has nothing to do with me. Thousands of years ago, my spiritual pet Xiao Jiu needed to swallow the souls of some monks in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm to complete his snake The art of shedding. At that time, I happened to pass by the Sky Island, and I captured alive the Heavenly Tribulation Realm monks who occupied the Sky Island, and then took their souls and fed them to Xiaojiu. Later I found out that in fact, some of these monks The masters of Shaobei Territory's sect usually claim to be famous and upright, and when they seize the opportunity, they want to occupy Kongdao's huge cultivation resources. However, in my place, Yaksha Dragon Snake, there is no difference between evil cultivators and righteous cultivators. If According to the established standards of Zhongyuan Continent, I, Yaksha Dragon Snake, am an out-and-out evil cultivator."
After saying that, Yaksha Dragon Snake smiled evilly.
Monk Jiuku waved his hands quickly and said firmly: "You are not an evil cultivator, you are a great hero who eliminates evil."
"Hmph!" Yaksha Dragon Snake snorted and glanced in the direction of the Valley of Lost Souls, "I am somewhat interested in this disaster in Fengdu, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to this Lost Soul Valley. Valley. But before I entered the Valley of Lost Souls, you, the bald man, tried to find a way to take away a dozen of my life. However, I also strangely got a power of state of mind from you. Now I am facing the Valley of Lost Souls. I lost interest, but the secrets in you,
It had to interest me. I want to ask you, do you practice the Buddhist method of golden body and heavenly secret? "
Monk Jiuku shook his head repeatedly, and did not answer Yaksha Dragon Snake's question directly. Instead, he asked: "Master Yaksha Dragon Snake, you don't want to use the snake swallowing technique to swallow my soul, so you think you can use your own cultivation." Break through to the Divine Expansion Realm, right?"
Ping Yunjun and Qing Guzi on the side had long noticed the abnormal fluctuations in soul power coming from Monk Jiuku and Yaksha Dragon Snake, and each prepared their bodies for defense.
When they heard the words Shen Yanjing and Golden Body Tianji, their eyes when they looked at Monk Jiu Ku unconsciously flashed with a blade-like brilliance.
Lord Pingyun unfolded a white folding fan in his right hand and fanned it in front of his chest while thinking quickly in his mind: "I didn't expect that Yaksha Dragon Snake, like me, also got a piece of the power of state of mind from Monk Jiu Ku. This is by no means an accident. It is rumored that there is a secret method in the Golden Buddha Temple, called the Golden Body Heavenly Secret. Could it be that this Jiu Ku monk has already practiced the Golden Body Heavenly Secret? No wonder he can swallow the soul power and life force of the three of us with his own power. With a golden body People with heavenly secrets are also known as the reincarnations of Buddhas and gods. And if you can swallow the soul of a person with a golden body, you can understand the true heavenly secrets. Wow, there really are such strange things in the world."
Lord Pingyun looked at Monk Jiuku with more concentration, and cursed: "Jun Pingyun, Lord Pingyun, think about it, you have been in seclusion for five hundred years to break through the Shenyan realm, and you haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Thinking of this, Lord Pingyun couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He blocked his wandering Adam's apple with the folding fan in his hand, and said to cover it up: "It's a little hot here."
Qing Guzi from the Qinglian Taoist Temple took half a step forward. While looking at the Jiu Ku monk carefully, he made a calculation in his mind: "Is it possible that this Jiu Ku monk really has the secret of the golden body? The Qing Lian Taoist secret I practiced is to get out of the silt. Ran’s Taoist secret method, using the green lotus body to swallow the world’s great ways, abandoning the turbidity, preserving the truth and cultivating the body. I am confident that I can swallow the golden body and use it for my own use.”
Thinking of this, the thousand silk whisk in Qingguzi's hand started to tremble like a snake.
Monk Jiuku looked at the three people opposite him and took three big steps back. After he stood firm, he said loudly: "What? Mr. Pingyun and Mr. Qingguzi also want to swallow my head together?"
The scene fell awkwardly silent, and several people looked at each other.
Maybe the opportunity to break through to the Divine Expansion Realm is right in front of them. Even if there is only a 30% chance, these three people will never let it go.
Lord Pingyun, Yaksha Dragon Snake and Qing Guzi knew in their hearts that if any of them chose to devour the soul of Monk Jiu Ku now, the others would immediately become their enemies and would fight to the death. The chance of actually getting the golden body secret is no more than 30%.
Lord Pingyun puffed up his chest and said: "I am a disciple of the Yu Dao Sect, how could I break through my cultivation by devouring other people's souls? This is obviously incompatible with the awe-inspiring righteousness I have cultivated for three thousand years."
Qing Guzi stroked his gray beard under his chin with his left hand, put his right hand on his back, and hid a thousand silk whisks behind his back, and said loudly: "What we practice in Qinglian Dojo is the great way of heaven and earth, and it is also the righteous way of heaven and earth. We will not swallow people's souls."
However, Yaksha Dragon Snake said bluntly: "If there is a chance to break through to the Shenyan realm, I, Yaksha Dragon Snake, will not care about morality and means."
Monk Jiuku curled his lips and thought: "Just now, I clearly saw murderous intent in the eyes of these three big men. If there is a chance to get a breakthrough from the Divine Expansion Realm from me, I think these three will Like a wolf devouring a sheep, they devoured me without hesitation. Fortunately, the three of them were not of the same mind, and I am safe now."
After a pause, Monk Jiuku said loudly: "The Shenyan Realm is the next big realm after the monks in the Xuxian Realm break through. The Shenyan Realm is different from the previous cultivation realm. What breaks through is not the cultivation level, but the state of mind. The Xuxian Realm The monks can get a first glimpse of the power of the law, but due to lack of mental state, they can only grasp some superficial aspects of the power of the law. However, in the Shenyan realm, they have half-stepped into the true immortality, and their mastery of the power of the law has moved forward. A big step."
Yaksha Dragon Snake said: "Monk Jiu Ku, you don't need to explain this. Except for you, the time the three of us have been at the peak of the virtual fairyland is calculated in thousands of years. The purpose of thousands of years of hard training is to find a way to break through the state of mind. We will take the opportunity to break through to the Shenyan realm. If we cannot break through to the Shenyan realm, when the time comes, the three of us will be backlashed by the power of the laws we control, and we will end up with our souls collapsing."
After a pause, Yaksha Longshe glanced at Pingyunjun and Qingguzi with his eyes, and continued: "Pingyunjun and Qingguzi must be like me, and there is not much time left."
Ping Yunjun and Qing Guzi laughed awkwardly and did not comment.
Qing Guzi said: "If a Void Immortal Realm monk faces a Shenyan Realm monk alone, there is no chance of winning. Becoming a Shenyan Realm monk is what every Void Immortal Realm monk dreams of."
Lord Pingyun nodded and said three words in a firm tone: "Shen Yan Realm."
Monk Jiu Ku waved his hand and said: "It seems that all three of them are interested in the art of Golden Body Heavenly Secret. Golden Body Heavenly Secret is a god-level talent that is born with. Let me declare first that I don't understand the art of Golden Body Heavenly Secret at all. I don’t have such a great fortune in martial arts. What I practice is the Buddhism’s art of dryness and glory.”
After a pause, Monk Jiu Ku continued: "To be honest, I encountered a cultivation bottleneck when I was reaching the peak of the Void Immortal Realm. The technique of Ku Rong that I practiced has a drawback. If I can't break through the cultivation level within the appropriate time,
Because, my body will wither and die. Calculating carefully, if I don't successfully break through to the peak of the Virtual Immortal Realm today, my remaining life will not exceed three years. Therefore, I deliberately came a day late for this appointment in the Valley of Lost Souls, and then borrowed a dozen of life energy and some soul power from each of the three of them. The three different soul powers of Tao, Confucianism, and Ghost in the three adults created chaos in my body, and at the same time, they also gave me an opportunity to break through the bottleneck of my cultivation. Fortunately, this time I succeeded. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all three of you. "
After saying that, Monk Jiuku bowed deeply.
Yaksha Dragon Snake, Qing Guzi and Ping Yunjun looked at each other and did not continue to ask.
They knew that even if the monk Jiu Ku in front of them really had the secret of a golden body, the three of them would probably fight each other to get the soul of the monk Jiu Ku.
No matter how you calculate, today is not an opportunity to take action.
Yaksha Dragon Snake said: "Jiu Kubald, please stop talking nonsense. In that case, you quickly lead the way and take us into the Fengdu Formation in the Valley of Lost Souls. If we can break the Fengdu Formation, maybe the power of my state of mind will It will go to a higher level, and it is not impossible to achieve the Divine Expansion Realm."
Qing Guzi said: "Destroying the Fengdu formation is the real thing. I have already made preparations."
Lord Pingyun said: "If we can't break through the Fengdu Formation this time, those guys in the underworld will open the space channel through the Fengdu Formation and pour endlessly into the Zhongyuan Realm. It will really be a catastrophe for the Zhongyuan Realm."
After that, Monk Jiuku personally led the way, followed closely by Yaksha Longshe, Qingguzi and Pingyunjun.
Zhan Yunfei, Liu Haiyu, Guigu Zan and Li Zhen followed behind.
Soon, a group of people came to the entrance of the Valley of Lost Souls.
At the entrance to the Valley of Lost Souls, black ghost mist rolled like a tide, and streaks of black lightning emerged from it, as terrifying as the snakes in the underworld.
Countless ghost runes can be seen flowing like a waterfall with the naked eye, completely separating the Valley of Lost Souls from the outside world into two worlds.
Monk Jiuku observed it carefully, and then said: "The Valley of Lost Souls has turned into a Fengdu Formation. The three adults must not underestimate this formation. It is composed of the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation of the Golden Buddha Temple and the demon clan of the Western Regions." The Yuan Demon Killing God Formation was formed by the collision. After being blessed by Fengdu Ghost Qi, its power is several times greater. If we forcefully break into this formation, we will definitely be strangled by the power of the formation, and we will hardly survive."
Yaksha Dragon Snake narrowed his eyes and said: "It is indeed a powerful ghost formation. At such a close distance, even the ghost soul in my body feels a huge sense of oppression from it. However, this is what I That’s where your interest lies. Monk Jiuku, please stop showing off and quickly tell me how to enter.”
Lord Pingyun said: "Monk Jiuku, let me listen to your method."
Qing Guzi said: "Since we are here, we must go in."
Monk Jiuku said: "First of all, we have to ask Master Yaksha Dragon Snake to use the Ghost Snake Eye Technique to find some space nodes at this entrance, and activate them with the Ghost Way Technique. Then, let the one of us who is the best at formations Mr. Pingyun Jun quickly found the weaker one among the space nodes. Then, he asked Mr. Qingguzi to use his sword energy to cut a gap in the formation. Finally, I used the secret method of Ku Rong to build a temporary passage. In this way, we can Good luck getting into it.”
Yaksha Dragon Snake said confidently: "No matter how powerful the ghost clan's formation is, it can't stop my ghost snake's pupils. My pupils can see hell."
Lord Pingyun nodded and said: "Monk Jiuku, your method sounds good. As long as the formation is running, I will have a way to find its weaknesses."
Qing Guzi said: "The Qinglian sword I cultivate is an invisible sword, specially designed to break the evil atmosphere."
Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "That's it."
Zhan Yunfei, Liu Haiyu, Guigu Zan and Li Zhen retreated a hundred steps away, ready for orders at any time.
Monk Jiuku said: "Since the three adults agree with my method, I still need to talk about the details of breaking the formation first. Once this formation is activated, we will only have three breaths of time, otherwise the power of the formation will be fully operational. , the entrance to the Valley of Lost Souls will change, and trying to find the entrance again will take a lot of time and effort, and the result will be unpredictable."
Monk Jiuku glanced at the three people in front of him and continued: "Master Yaksha Longshe only has half a breath of time to read the space node and activate it. And the next Lord Pingyun also only has half a breath of time. Find the weakness of the formation. Then Lord Qingguzi only has half a breath to cut a gap. And the time left for me to build a temporary passage is the remaining breath and a half."
The ghost snake Xiaojiu in the Qiankun bag in the sleeve of Yaksha Dragon Snake kept squirming and making a hissing sound.
Yaksha Dragon Snake sent a message: "Xiao Jiu, are you anxious? With this Fengdu Formation and his team, we will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck of cultivation together."
Yaksha Dragon Snake put his hands across his chest, firmly pinched out a snake-shaped seal, and said loudly: "As soon as the ghost snake seal in my hand falls, it will begin."
Lord Pingyun put away the folding fan and raised his right hand, revealing a simple short ruler in his hand.
One end of the short ruler is painted with thousands of stars, and the other end is painted with mountains and rivers, as if the heaven and earth are within it, and it is like a mysterious heavenly treasure.
Qing Guzi held the thousand silk whisk in his left hand, and his right hand turned into sword fingers. An invisible sword energy breathed out from his fingertips, and the fluctuating soul power turned into the shape of blooming lotus petals.
"It's begun!" Yaksha Dragon Snake shouted.
