Chapter 216: Unification of the South (Part 2)
The so-called demon bone relics. It is not a relic in the traditional sense. Traditional relics can only be condensed by Buddhism. It uses the unique mental method of Buddhism to condense most of one's mental power, soul, merit, and some of the true essence of life together, and finally condenses the quantitative transformation into qualitative transformation into Buddhist relics. Once the relic comes out, it is like having a second soul and skin. Even if the body is shattered, as long as the relic is still there, it can be reborn or reincarnated, which is quite similar to the Taoist Nascent Soul.
However, Taoist Nascent Soul is used by cultivators who have practiced to the extreme to merge with the void, return from emptiness to reality, and transform their own pure Yang power into a baby to adapt to the immortal spirit energy after ascension to reshape the physical body. In other words, only masters in the Void Return Stage can condense the Nascent Soul. But relatively speaking, the threshold for Buddhism is much lower. As long as you are devoted to Buddhism, even if you only linger in the Qi training period for the rest of your life. It is also possible that by chance, the relics may be condensed into relics that may lead to the magical power of immortality.
This is the so-called "immortal way transforms the virtuous and the Buddha transforms the foolish". The Taoist sect that has the best qualifications to recruit disciples and is able to condense the Nascent Soul are all talented people with talent, chance, and xinxing. However, the Buddhist sect has a wide range of generosity, and as long as you have the heart to worship the Buddha and a little chance, you can get started. The two concepts are so different. It is not surprising that Buddhism and Taoism have been in opposition for tens of thousands of years since the War of Conferment of Gods, and the great rise of Buddhism has led to such results.
According to legend, the Heavenly Demon's White Bone Relics are also a technique passed down by the Lord of Heavenly Demon, who transformed into himself, after hundreds of millions of years of fighting with Buddhism, referring to the essence and integrating it into his own practice. The so-called Heavenly Demon is formless, formless, and has no birth or death. It is an existence born from the most original negative power in the universe. However, there is only one Heavenly Demon with such extraordinary origins from ancient times to the present, and that is the Heavenly Demon Lord. There is another title - "The Ancestor of All Demons". Although that may be an exaggeration. But it also shows that its heels are unique.
After the self-alienation of the Heavenly Demon Lord, due to the creation of the world and the growth of the universe, there is no longer such a pure and original negative power, so the subsequent Heavenly Demons can only be born in another way, that is, transformed by the inner demon! Just like the Great God Pangu is the son of the Great Dao and the essence of chaos; the innate spiritual roots are the original transformation of various innate spiritual energies; the demon Lord Zizui in his transformation is the projection and representative of the negative power of the universe; as long as everything borrows the power of heaven and earth The existence that is born must be based on a certain kind of power or even emotion.
The inner demon is born from the darkness and depth of the human heart through a trace of obsession. Since ancient times, what the world of cultivation has emphasized is the unity of heaven and man. If the human body is compared to a small universe, the inner demon is the projection and representative of the negative power of this small universe, which is very similar to the way in which the Lord of Freedom was born. Therefore, once the inner demon grows to a certain level, it will spontaneously communicate with the mysterious and unpredictable Yusetian, the wonderful realm where the demon Lord lives, and use its power to devour and transform the original cultivator!
This is also the greatest calamity for a cultivator in the process of cultivation! If you can survive it, your mind will be tempered and your skills will be greatly improved; if you cannot survive it, your soul and soul will be devoured by inner demons and pollute your body. His temperament changed drastically, and he committed all kinds of evil. In the end, the inner demon broke out of his body and entered the yulose sky, transforming into a heavenly demon. Since ancient times, countless cultivators have failed to overcome the inner demon tribulation and turned into heavenly demons, adding countless "populations" to Yusetian.
However, out of his hatred for Buddhism, he created this type of exercise, which obviously refers to the principles of Buddhist relics. It uses special mental methods to protect the mind and stay awake at all times, and then continues to practice, kill, and commit evil. Even the power of sin constantly stimulates the negative power in the heart to nourish the inner demon, but due to the protection of the inner magic, the demon cultivator will not be easily swallowed by the inner demon. The inner demon cannot devour the mind, so it can only compress it in a corner of the heart, silently accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity to explode.
If a demonic cultivator can survive the final outbreak of inner demons, the inner demons that erupt will be completely driven out of the mind. From then on, no inner demons will be able to affect the mind. The road to spiritual cultivation can be said to be smooth; in addition, there are It can condense it with its own life essence, natal vitality, soul elite and other essence substances into one body, and finally condenses a white bone pill-like Demon Gate Relic. This relic is called the Demon White Bone Relic.
Because there are inner demons and so much body essence added to it, the demon bone relic is like a shrunken physical body and is extremely suitable as a treasure to entrust the second soul. The demon cultivators who successfully condensed the demon's bones and relics all survived the catastrophe in the end. Ascend to heaven and become a powerful person. On the other hand, if you cannot survive the catastrophe when the inner demon breaks out, you will be devoured by the inner demon and follow the path of countless inner demon body-stealers.
There seems to be no difference between the two. They are both ascending, and it seems that it is easier for those whose bodies have been stolen by inner demons to ascend. But the actual difference is huge! The difference lies in the initiative. The cultivators who cannot survive the calamity of inner demons have their sanity taken away by the inner demons. Every action is obeyed by the darkest and evil places in their hearts. They lose their nature and are like walking zombies. Their cultivation cannot grow forever. They are limited by their realm. Once they reach a limit, they cannot make progress. ; Even if it ascends to Yusetian, it will only become a very ordinary member of it and exist as a slave of his demon master, although this slave master may never use it as a slave.
And those cultivators who can successfully condense the demon's bones and relics are all strong men who can defeat their inner demons and themselves, at least in the future. Cultivators who will not be deceived by the desires of their own hearts and lose themselves in the long years of cultivation will undoubtedly be more likely to break through the realms and go further and further on the road of cultivation, which can be said to have a bright future.
And because it has condensed the bone relics of the demon, as long as the relics are integrated into the body, it can transform between the immortal body and the demon at any time. It can be lured in and out of Yusetian at any time. Even if you don't want to be trapped in it, you can choose to ascend to the fairy world or other worlds. Free and unfettered, unlike those low-level demons who are like slaves. Unless someone from the outside triggers the calamity of the demon, or summons the demon to come, they will never be able to leave Yusetian, just like being locked in a big cage. One is seductive and the other is prisoner. The difference can be distinguished at a glance.
But precisely because of the huge difference, there are very few people who can condense the demon's bones and relics, and not even one of the thousands of ascenders can succeed, which shows how difficult it is. Therefore, anyone who can condense the demon's bones and relics will be favored by all demonic forces and have a high status in the demon world. At that time, the Rot Bone Ancestor condensed the Heavenly Demon's White Bone Relics in one fell swoop, which even alarmed the top immortal-level masters of the righteous sects. Fearing its potential, the major sects actually united to put pressure on the Southern Demon Sect, demanding that they hand over the Rot Bone Ancestor and at least destroy the Heavenly Demon's White Bones. Relics.
The ancestors of the Rotten Bones naturally could not agree to the Southern Demon Sect, nor would they give in. They spent a lot of money and showed great strength to finally unite the masters of the five demon sects, and brought their acquired spiritual treasures to fight with the top masters of the righteous path. In this earth-shattering battle, as many as ten immortal-level masters died or were seriously injured and went into seclusion, and no less than fifty masters in the return-to-empty stage were killed and countless people in the return-to-empty stage and below. Each sect was seriously injured and had to take a break. As a result, the human world is further damaged and the spiritual energy escapes faster and faster.
Moreover, as a spiritual object that resembles a magic weapon, an illegitimate treasure, and a physical body but not a physical body, like a Buddhist relic, it can grow with the cultivator himself. If he cultivates to the limit, it may be no less than an innate spiritual treasure! Even if it is to capture other people's demon bone relics. As long as the mark of the primordial spirit is completely eliminated and refined into one's own magic weapon, even if it cannot evolve because of a different bloodline from the owner, it is still a treasure that can entrust the second primordial spirit! Therefore, after Xi Caier recognized his origin, he immediately threatened him with words and put himself on strict guard in order to make him worry.
After all, as a master who survived that tragic battle, there is no doubt about the strength of the Rotten Bone Patriarch, even if he is just a clone of him, it cannot be underestimated!
The ancestor of Rotten Bones has a ferocious character and is determined to kill. His true form is actually the corpses of the elders of previous generations buried in the mountain gate of the Southern Demon Sect. Due to Shennongding's abundant spiritual energy, the aura influence of the "Barbarian Demon Palace" and the power contained in his own body, he finally awakened five thousand years ago, and Pu appeared as a golden-armored corpse king! Because of his special identity and cultivation, he was recognized by the Southern Demon Sect and was directly accepted as an elder. Because after becoming a zombie, his soul was affected by resentment and could not reincarnate and was trapped in the body, so his character inevitably became more extreme. But it is precisely because these thousands of years of tempering have made his character tougher that he can In one fell swoop, he condensed the relics of the demon's bones that only a few people could condense.
Since he was actually a zombie, he simply practiced the natal skills that appeared inexplicably in his mind, and mixed them with some demonic and side spells to develop the true energy in his body into a magical power ten times more powerful than ordinary zombies. Even the Immortal Muscles and Jade Bones of the Immortal Family or the Vajra Indestructible Body of Buddhism are contaminated by his corpse evil. If not treated in time, the flesh will be corroded and the bones will rot and turn into pus. Therefore, he is known as the Rotten Bone Ancestor. .
As usual, threatening such an unparalleled murderer should be unreasonable and would have no effect. So after Xi Caier finished speaking, she flicked the pure willow branch in her hand and shed a few dewdrops. Several dewdrops exploded in mid-air and turned into a very thin water film covering the ten cultivators in the Void Return Stage.
The pure willow branch in her hand has an extraordinary origin. It was given by Taoist Cihang in front of the Buddhist gate. It is a high-grade spiritual root of heaven and earth. It is born with the power of purification and creation. The dew it secretes spontaneously can not only revive the dead, but also flesh and bones. It also removes most toxins as well as any panacea.
The other people were slightly stagnant after Xi Cai'er revealed the identity of the Rotten Bone Ancestor, and then they immediately reacted and quickly mobilized the large formation. Even Ying Cai'er couldn't help but follow suit. Their hands danced into an afterimage and instantly formed ninety. The nine mysterious hand seals then hit the "Ten Paths of Demon Sealing Array in the Heavens" beneath him to launch the final blow of this ancient formation.
"The ten realms of heaven seal the demon together!"
Spurred by this, ten huge light spots trembled together, and then actually gathered towards the center of the seven-color light film to form a huge ring. The huge light pillars between heaven and earth also gathered together due to the movement of the light spots, forming a sky-high beam. The pillar poured endless light into this huge circle. Absorbing all the power of the light beam, the ring composed of ten light spots expanded a hundred times, covering the entire seven-color light film. Under the strong silver light, the ten masters in the Void Return Stage were reflected like gods.
The huge light film suddenly flipped over and rushed towards the Rotten Bone Ancestor on the opposite side and Shennong Ding behind him. The huge halo composed of ten light spots was like a giant wheel. The ten heavens and worlds rotated silently. Every time it turned, the scene in the heavens and worlds became more and more real. In the end, the giant wheel seemed to have really hit the ten heavens and worlds. The power was so heavy and thick that it was as irreversible as fate, and it seemed to be pressing towards the Rotten Bone Ancestor and Shen Nong on the opposite side.
This formation will be effective as soon as the seal is completed. No matter how powerful the Southern Demon Sect is, it will never come out if it does not take a hundred years.
Facing the flying huge seal, the rotten bone ancestor's eyes flashed with will-o'-the-wisps, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. After a moment, he slowly stared at the opposite side, as if he had finally made a decision. The seal in front of him borrowed the mighty power of heaven and earth, even if he alone could Even the gods can't resist. It seems that it is inevitable that the mountain gate will be sealed. Anyway, they are going to seal the mountain for a period of time, even if it is sealed for a few more decades, it is nothing. But he can never tolerate this kind of provocative behavior of running into other people's homes and causing damage. This is a serious damage to the prestige of the Southern Demonic Cult!
He glanced at the "Jiu Mei Glazed Fire Gourd" above Tai Yanren's head. "You, the ten descendants of Void Return, are now united together and have a treasure in your hands to help you. It's hard to deal with it, but can you all protect the remaining cultivators?" Really? I want to see whether I can kill faster or you can save faster!" Ancestor Rotten Bones made a decision and immediately dodged his body to avoid the "Ten Demon Sealing Seals of All Heavens".
I saw a huge light film completely covering the entire Shennong Dome. A stream of silver light flowed like water all over the Shennong Dome, covering all traces of Cui Zai's formation. It even penetrated deep into the ground, cutting off the underground dragon veins and the great sea. The connection between the formations flashed in turn among the silver light and the scenes of the heavens and worlds, then slowly faded and disappeared. The original dark golden halo also disappeared. Now Shennongding can only see a barren landscape without any trace.
It can be said that the current Shennongding has been completely sealed, even experts who are proficient in escape techniques cannot sneak into it. Because this seal not only contains the power of the stars in the sky, the spiritual energy of a thousand miles in radius, but also the mighty power of the ten worlds to suppress it. Unless the golden immortal comes to the world, no one can destroy it.
Ancestor Rotten Bones keenly sensed that he had lost contact with the mountain gate. He had a raging murderous intention in his heart. He did not care about bullying the small and causing a battle between good and evil. The mountain gate's lair was blocked and he did something in "momentary anger". Excessive things can barely be explained. Besides, even if he kills all these thousands of low-level cultivators, it won't be as big as the losses suffered by the Southern Demon Sect in recent times. He has a ruthless temper, so he can naturally feel at ease doing such a thing.
But just when he was about to pounce on the low-level cultivators who fell to the ground and kill them, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if there was some strong threat that could even endanger his life. Compared with killing some people, his own life is naturally more important. The body of the Rotten Bone Ancestor suddenly stopped and he looked around carefully, but a void crack suddenly appeared from above his head, and he was sucked in without warning. He looked at it from a distance. It was as if he cut through the void and escaped.
"Hey, this old devil, I thought he really wanted to go on a killing spree, but it turned out he was just trying to escape." The veteran of the Chongyang Sect wiped his sweat and sighed. "I don't dare to say that this battle is over. We are so quick to take advantage of Hou Chu's leaderless dragons that we march immediately to conquer them!" Although Tai Yanren felt a little stunned, he is the leader and naturally has a big priority. Now that the seal has been completed, he will naturally proceed with the next step. The main thing is to fight in the world. So under his leadership, everyone returned to the camp and led the army to send troops to various places in Houchu. Only Han'e looked back at the place where the Rotten Bone Ancestor disappeared before leaving, with a thoughtful light flashing in her eyes.
................................................................. .............................
In the empty void, the Rotten Bone Ancestor stared at the cold-faced man in white robes who looked majestic like a god, and shouted hoarsely: "Who are you? Why do you want to intervene in this battle?" The cold-faced man That is to say, I looked at him indifferently and said calmly: "You are too much in the way, that's all."
"What? You're looking for a dead body to kill the streamer!" Seeing that I was so contemptuous of the Rotten Bone Ancestor, he couldn't help but became furious. He suddenly turned into a gray light and rushed towards me. But I just shook my head gently and raised one hand forward...
................................................................. .............................
In the seventh year of Jianlong's reign, General Zhao Wu, the general of the Southern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, led an army of 100,000 all the way south with ten battles and ten victories. After defeating Chu's army of one million in just two months, Changsha, the capital of Chu, captured more than 300 members of the royal family and officials of Emperor Ma Yi of Chu. The Lu army was demoralized and surrendered one after another. Zhao Wu arranged for his men to surrender one by one, and Chu was finally destroyed.
In the ninth year of Jianlong's reign, due to the lobbying of the Nanhai Sect and the increasingly clear general trend in the world, the Pure Land Sect, Puji Temple and other sects finally wavered and sent their disciples to coerce Liu Yan, the leader of the Southern Han Dynasty, to submit credentials to the Song Dynasty to surrender, and invited Nanhai who was still stationed in the old land of Hou Chu. The army was sent to garrison. After Liu Yan summoned Zhao Kuangyin, he withdrew the surrender and stationed in Hounan Han a week later. The day before the garrison, Liu Yan, the leader of the Southern Han Dynasty, was found to have hanged himself in his bedroom. There was slight chaos in the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Wu led the new soldiers recruited from the Chu region to suppress them everywhere. After three months of chaos, the Southern Han Dynasty was pacified and the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed.
In the twelfth year of Jianlong's reign, when the southern expedition led the army back to the north, the people of Shu flocked to eat pots of pulp and treat them like their own relatives. At that time, the leader of the Shushan Sword Sect was passing by Tiannan and saw this person: "The people's sentiments are like this. What can we do about it?" One month later, there was a riot in Houshu, and the court was overthrown. From Emperor Meng Chang of Shu, there were nearly a thousand officials, big and small, and royal family members. The rebels who were killed went to the Song army camp and surrendered. Zhao Wu was pleased to receive him and sent someone to report the matter to Song Dynasty leader Zhao Kuangyin quickly. A week later, Zhao Kuangyin issued an order to accept the surrender of the volunteers and sent a large number of officials to Shu to manage the area. Four months later, Shu was also destroyed.
After five years, the Hou Chu, Hou Han, and Hou Shu were all destroyed, and the lands under the Southern Tang, Wuyue, and Nanping Song dynasties that were previously pacified were finally unified into one, and their strength greatly increased, and the southern Suiping was established.
(It’s too much to write this much in one breath.)
