He studied Taoism at the age of eight, built the foundation in ten years, refined the method at thirty, and traveled to the Divine Continent for twenty-eight years. At the age of sixty, he became a top-grade golden elixir.
Although Xu Zhuang's talent could be said to be excellent at the beginning of his Taoism, it was not amazing among Taisu Zongzong.
Xu Zhuang has been cultivating steadily for a long time. He has been riding ten horses, and he has completed the practice at the age of thirty. It is not too slow and he has become the seed of the true inheritance. At the age of thirty-two, he left the mountains to travel, walked through the world of mortals, passed through wind and rain, was born and died, and met the destiny of immortality. Suddenly, he was like a wind in his steps, running away from the dust, and achieved a top-grade golden elixir.
The golden elixir monk has a lifespan of eight hundred, the Yuanying Venerable has a lifespan of two thousand years, the real Yuanshen has a long life...
As a monk, you sit back and watch the winds and clouds rise and the sea change. Ten years, for the long-lived Jindan monks, can be said to be a fleeting moment, not to mention the blink of an eye. However, for Xu Zhuang's relatively short cultivation career, This is already the longest retreat.
"The years in the mountains are indeed passing by like water, but in the blink of an eye, the ten-year period has expired."
Xu Zhuang walked out of the majestic Arctic Pavilion hall. It was a perfect spring day outside. The warm sun that had not been seen for more than ten years could not hurt Xu Zhuang's eyes, but it brought a sense of trance.
But a few feelings were put behind the mind in a flash. Although ten years are not long, and the Arctic Abyss Gorge is not a prison, the forced confinement is different from his own choice after all. A kind of freedom and joy come from Xuzhuang's heart. rising.
He raised his head and saw the clear blue sky with clouds. He suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers, and a white rainbow sword energy suddenly flew out and shot directly into the sky. The force was astonishing, as if it was about to cut the sky open. It hit the clouds in an instant, but was suddenly submerged in it. It might as well be dripping water into the lake, but it didn't make any waves.
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, jumped up on the wind, and flew into the sky. After passing the first layer of clouds, a long line of hundreds of thousands of feet separated the layers of clouds, and the sky was also cut open with a sword mark. Suddenly he jumped in eye.
Taisu sword energy can change the presence or absence of form and quality, it can be invisible or without quality! Passing through the first layer of clouds, slashing through the clouds and sky behind them, without damaging the former at all!
Xu Zhuang smiled happily. In the Arctic Pavilion, he got the cultivation experience of the senior monks in the cave. This Yuan Ying major cultivator simply explained the qualitative changes of "Tai Su's Intangible Sword Qi" incisively and vividly. He called Xu Zhuang The benefits are endless.
Therefore, not long after Xu Zhuang completed "Tai Su's Sword Qi with and without Essence", he perfected this transformation of essence and non-existence. This level of realm has been achieved by many masters who practice this swordsmanship in the Taisu Zhengzong Sect. Also very rare.
However, due to the inconvenience in the Arctic Pavilion, Xu Zhuang has never used it. Once he tried it, it turned out to be very magical.
Imagine that in the future, if Xu Zhuang fights with others again and kills with one sword, no matter how the opponent prepares, Xu Zhuang's sword energy suddenly changes into a qualityless sword, passing through the layers of protection, and suddenly changes into a qualitative sword in front of the opponent! There is simply no way to prevent it.
Just performing such a change consumes a lot of mana.
Xu Zhuang briefly tried his hand, but the amount of mana consumed was already huge, and this was just a change of sword energy. How about using a sword pill to split the light ten times? Moreover, my sword pill is made from meteorite iron and gold. It looks small and round, but in fact it weighs more than a thousand kilograms.
With this sword pill, he can perform various sword techniques with ease, and with Xu Zhuang's magic power, he doesn't know how difficult it will be to turn such quality into nothing.
He suddenly understood why this sword pill had been lying in the magic treasure pavilion for a long time before accidentally falling into his hands. It turned out that the zodiac sign of this sword pill was not very consistent with the profound swordsmanship in the gate.
However, if Jianwan hadn't been with him, there would have been many hardships along the way, or if he was in a different situation today, who can tell.
Xu Zhuang didn't want to think about it anymore, so he set up his escape light and left. When he was not in a hurry, he rarely flew with sword escape. Flying with the wind was a different experience. Moreover, the speed at which he was able to escape with the wind now could be called extraordinary.
This is because the escape technique that Xu Zhuang used when he was not using sword escape has now reached a higher level, and his escape speed has naturally skyrocketed.
Xuzhuang has been in seclusion for ten years, and has gained a lot. Now it is no different than when he first formed the golden elixir. Not only is his magic power perfect, but his swordsmanship has also greatly improved, and he has also practiced all the methods that he often used in the realm of magic refining.
Taoism is mysterious. Although the mysteries of different Taoisms are different in strength, they are all divided into nine levels of perfection. To practice Taoism, it can take as short as three to five days or as long as a hundred thousand years. For any practitioner, Talking about it is just like practicing, it is a long and endless road.
In this world, there is never a shortage of practitioners who are obsessed with the mysteries of Taoism but ignore the fundamentals.
When Xu Zhuang was young, he practiced many Taoist techniques. However, when he reached the third level, he only had a dozen or so most suitable Taoist techniques. When he went a step further, he reached the fourth level of Taoist techniques, and even one more. nor.
No matter what kind of Taoism, the difficulty, power, and mysteries increase exponentially with each level. For many monks, unless there is no hope of golden elixir, it is really not feasible to spend time cultivating Taoism to the fourth level in the realm of refining. A smart move.
But now Xu Zhuang's talent has greatly increased, he has refined a high-grade golden elixir, and started practicing Taoism again. However, in the blink of an eye, in just ten years of practice, he has mastered several of the most commonly used Taoisms to the third level. quadruple.
The first one is the Five Elements Escape Technique now used by Xu Zhuang. The Five Elements Escape Technique is the material basis of Taoist theory. The Five Elements Escape Technique has always been one of the most common escape methods in Taoism. Although the speed of escape is not emphasized, the speed of escape is not emphasized. It has endless magical uses and is also a common escape method used by Xuzhuang.
There is also a Taoist technique called Yiqi Qianjun, which is also learned in the sect. It is a technique that emphasizes the quality of Tao and can attack and defend.
However, although this technique is known as 'Exhaling Qianjun', its actual power naturally depends on the practitioner's Taoist realm and level of magic power. If Xu Zhuang were to use this technique now, it would probably not be as powerful as 'Qianjun'. It is unknown whether it can encompass the mountains and collapse them.
A method of finding traces, tracking, and locking. It has a simple and practical function, and its name is also very common. It is called Little Trace Searching Technique.
There is another unnamed magic technique, which Xu Zhuang obtained together in the immortal mansion where he once obtained the "Secret Record of Three Phases, Six Seals and Nine Apertures Condensing Pill". It is very mysterious.
Although this art was practiced by Xu Zhuang because of its special origin, it is no different from ordinary art and the method of looking at the qi. It only has the effect of seeing through the reality of the environment and concealing restrictions, which is not as good as what Xu Zhuang has experienced. The Yuxiao sect's advanced martial arts can suddenly shoot out lightning from both eyes, and its power is not trivial.
Finally, there is a thunder method called Red Fire Gang Lei. It was not taught by Taisu Zhengzong, but was learned by Xu Zhuang from interacting with disciples of the Yuxiao sect. He could not teach it to other sects. Naturally, this Taoist method is not a very advanced Taoist method. The power is not that great either.
But there is a wonderful thing about this thunder method. You can use fire attribute cloud sand to make thunder beads that are half magic weapon and half Taoist art. One Gang Lei is not very powerful, but thousands of Gang Lei are powerful. .
Xu Zhuang once refined many Gang Lei, and there are still many left. However, the power of the third-level red fire Gang Lei is no longer suitable for him, and they were later given to Li Changfeng.
It seems that he, a cheap disciple, gained some benefits by joining his sect, but he really did not receive any guidance from him, and he practiced very diligently.
Xu Zhuang has been in seclusion for ten years and has only received news from Li Changfeng a few times. The first time was seven years ago, when Li Changfeng reported to him the completion of Chongyun Peak's repairs and the progress of his cultivation.
Ever since he broke through the barrier of seventy-two pure and turbid qi, his journey has been smooth, and he has finally perfected the eighty-one turbid and pure qi.
At this point, as long as the pure and turbid are combined into one, and the magic power is refined, because the foundation is perfect, from now on it can be regarded as the true seed in the sect.
However, the True Inheritance Seed has always been just a common name. In fact, it is still an inner disciple. There are thousands of Taisu Sect members, so the True Inheritance Seed is really not that few, and the gap between the levels of cultivation is also very large.
So after five years of hard work, Li Changfeng finally broke through the realm of law refining, but instead of feeling complacent, he became more and more urgent. After feeling that he had stabilized his cultivation and mastered several Taoist disciplines, he followed the old path of his master, Xu Zhuang, and went out to travel outside the mountain gate.
This was also the last summons from Li Changfeng that Xu Zhuang received, just half a year ago.
In addition, in the past ten years, there were two letters from Han Wang. One letter sent him a talisman, which he said was a demon-killing talisman refined by Yuanying of the Han clan. It might help Xu Zhuang eliminate evil spirits. It's annoying, but the effect is not very gratifying. ;
The second letter came, but a rare thing happened. A demonic golden elixir demon appeared out of nowhere. He dared to massacre mortals in the territory under the jurisdiction of Taisu Zhengzong, spread the cultivation method, and seriously injured the sect. A golden elixir monk who exterminated demons.
For thousands of years, the land of Shenzhou has been controlled by the Xuanmen Zhengzong. It has been at peace for a long time. There has never been any room for demons and heretics to survive, not to mention the territory governed by Taisu Zhengzong.
Therefore, this matter was very rare and very bad, so Han Wang had to deal with it personally, and there was no follow-up to the search for the solution to the demon's summons.
However, Xu Zhuang does not feel very urgent now. He is protected by the Cave Heaven Formation in the sect, and he has been practicing in seclusion in the Arctic Pavilion for ten years. He has been very stable, and he has not really felt the influence of evil spirits yet.
And Xu Zhuang has just refined the golden elixir not long ago. Although he has gone through a short period of retreat, he is still far from reaching the bottleneck. He feels that there is no limit, and it is the time to forge ahead.
Anyway, there is nothing to do, so it is better to go back and see how the current situation of Chongyun Peak is, and then practice in seclusion for a while. Xu Zhuang is a cultivator. If he can improve his cultivation by simply sitting in seclusion, he actually doesn't mind cultivating behind closed doors. He can cultivate to the golden elixir in one breath, and even become a Nascent Soul. It is best to jump out of the barrier of life and death and become a Nascent Spirit. .
If this day really comes, how can there be any external demons or worldly entanglements that can trouble him.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Xu Zhuang felt his spiritual consciousness suddenly stagnated, and his vision went dark. He suddenly stopped the escaping light, and looked up. The sky seemed to be suddenly covered with dark clouds, dim and dull. Then the sky was spinning and the whole person seemed to be falling. As if he was in a whirlpool, sinking continuously downwards, Xu Zhuang was trying his best to stabilize his body, when a harsh laughter suddenly sounded from very close behind his ears, like metal and stone being rubbed against each other, it was very strange.
"Who!" Xu Zhuang suddenly turned around, but there was nothing behind him. Then he suddenly realized that everything around him was as usual, with clear blue sky and white clouds. Looking below the clouds, Chongyun Peak was already in sight, and his own escaping light was visible. It seems that there is no pause, everything is just an illusion!
"There are demons from outside the world!" Xu Zhuang's face darkened, showing an ugly look. He didn't expect that one moment he was thinking that the demons were harmless, and the next moment he was invaded by external demons. Although he was gone in an instant, he could never go back. See nothing!
"Obviously, he should have been fine in the sect's cave formation, and he was not disturbed during his ten years of practice at Beiji Pavilion..."
Thinking about this, Xu Zhuang was horrified. Could it be that he had not been disturbed and that it was all his family's thoughts and that the evil spirits were intruding and he did not check it at all? Or was it because he had just thought of evil spirits in his mind and was inspired by them that he was harmed by evil spirits for the first time?
Once all kinds of conjectures were generated, they were like evil roots that were deeply rooted in Xu Zhuang's heart. Xu Zhuang knew that no matter what, he had indeed been disturbed. He quickly closed his eyes, raised his heart sword, and cut away all the distracting thoughts. His face became much calmer.
"The Great Zizi Xuanjun Liu Miao Yu Zhuo Emperor!" Xu Zhuang silently chewed on this unavoidable title of the Heavenly Demon Lord, and felt a chill in his heart. "Can't even the great array of caves and heavens completely isolate this demon? The behavior and terror of this demon outside the sky, I’m afraid it’s far beyond the understanding and guessing of Senior Brother Han and I.”
Xu Zhuang instantly became deeply fearful of the harm caused by the demon's summons, and his desire for a solution became urgent.
He glanced at Chongyun Peak in the distance, and he no longer had the slightest idea of returning to the cave to practice behind closed doors. He suddenly put away the Five Elements Escape Technique, activated the sword light, turned it over and turned it into a white rainbow, and it turned out to be over Chongyun Peak. Without entering, he went straight to Langhuan Tower.
——
In fact, few people set foot on the third floor of Langhuan Tower on weekdays, but it has been disturbed recently. Xu Zhuang did not even waste the time of landing on the hanging platform. He stood in front of the book wall out of thin air, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he read a book with all his heart. A yellow paper book.
If someone saw this immersed body and mind, they would think it was some profound Taoist book. However, in fact, what Xu Zhuang read was not a Taoist book, but just a miscellany. At the speed at which Xu Zhuang read, hundreds of thousands of words could be read in the blink of an eye. After reading it, not a single byte was missed, and the information he wanted to know was only mentioned in a few words.
After Xu Zhuang came out of the North Bei Pavilion, he went straight to Langhuan Tower, hoping that among the countless books in the collection, he could find a way to help him exorcise evil spirits.
This was already the sixth day he had come to Langhuan Tower. He had read countless books, but he had gained very little.
In this Langhuan Tower, there are countless ways to restrain heretics, evil spirits, magical powers, and magical powers. There are also countless ways to exorcise evil spirits, but Xu Zhuang has tried more than ten kinds of methods listed in the book. There are many useful methods, but none of them work.
If this continues, will it be possible to try all the ways to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate demons in Hengsha?
If there is one disappointing 'harvest', it is an 'predecessor's anecdote'!
According to legend, the Eighth-generation Patriarch, who was already the Venerable Yuanying at that time, was caught in a demonic calamity. When he went to ask for help from the Seventh-generation Patriarch, he didn’t even see him! Only the Taoist boy told me: Jishou is in the middle of the sky, and the light shines on the universe; the eight winds cannot blow it, sitting upright on the lotus heart of the Tao.
After hearing this, the Eighth-generation Patriarch retreated with enlightenment. Not long after, he finally broke through the evil tribulation, and actually jumped out of the barrier of life and death in one fell swoop, becoming the true soul of the soul.
It is not yet known whether this anecdote from the past is true or false. Even if it is true, the evil calamity suffered by the Eighth Generation Patriarch and the harm caused by external demons to Xu Zhuang may not be the same thing, and of course it does not mean anything.
But what Xu Zhuang knows is that if he seeks help from the real master, he may not be able to do it!
The authentic Xuanmen sect is never stingy in the training of its disciples, but it is also never doting on them. Unless the sect can rely on them, everything can be solved.
It doesn't matter if you are a true disciple. You fight with your peers outside, but your skills are not as good as others and you are killed. There may be fellow sects, relatives and friends seeking revenge for you, but there is no reason for the sect to be shocked and ask the true soul to avenge you.
There is no such thing as smooth wind and smooth sailing to the end of the pursuit of the Tao. Experiencing disaster is not a purely bad thing. Those who can really achieve something in practice have not overcome obstacles all the way? Even if you become a soul and claim to live forever, you will still be troubled by the three disasters.
In the sect, Xu Zhuang was plotted by his fellow sect members. This was a violation of the sect's laws and could not be forgiven. However, this matter has been properly handled by the Law Enforcement Yuan, and it will not attract the attention of the real person in charge, let alone eliminate the evil calamity for Xu Zhuang.
Xu Zhuang closed the book in his hand in disappointment and sighed, feeling vaguely in his heart that even if he read through Langhuan Tower, he might not get what he wanted, and he might have to find another way to deal with the external demon. Other methods.
But if he can't get rid of the evil spirits, he can't calm down and practice. Now Xu Zhuang is in a dilemma.
