The outer world, the deep space of the universe.
Lu You and Guan Xuanyue drove the Galaxy through the void. It took hundreds of years to find more than a hundred stars where humans have settled.
Those stars were remote, sparsely populated, and mostly shrouded by magic circles, so they were not pushed over by the three thousand gods and demons and integrated with the new continent.
Moving the stars consumes energy, and gods and demons are not fools. They must pursue cost-effectiveness in doing things.
Lu You and Guan Xuanyue set foot on one star after another, and while persisting in their cultivation, they continued to trace the footsteps of the ancient Witch Emperor.
The hard work paid off, and finally one day, after Lu You advanced to become an Immortal Lord, and Guan Xuanyue advanced to become an Immortal Lord, traces of several great emperors were found.
They first found the "Baidi Star" where Baidi Shaohao settled.
Bai Di led hundreds of thousands of people to settle on a star rich in gold and silver.
Baidi is the eldest son of Huangdi, and his mother is Nujie. He is a great emperor who practices gold witchcraft. He can extract gold energy from gold mountains at will and forge high-level fairy swords.
Although Lu You found the Baidi Star and stayed on the Baidi Star for more than ten years, he was not able to see Baidi himself. He only saw his wife Fenghong from a distance, and his sons Chong, Gai, Qiongqi, Ban, Hui, Xiji, Beifa, Yi, Qiongshen.
Fenghong was born in the Qingfeng Clan and was a high-level Witch King, with similar skills to Lu You, an Immortal Lord.
Several of Bai Emperor's sons have extremely high skills, especially Zhong and Gai. These two have surpassed the Witch King and reached the level of the Witch Emperor, similar to Lu You's original body, Lu Cheng Cha.
The grandson of Bai Di is Di Ku.
Among his great-grandsons, there are also very famous figures, such as Tang Yao, one of the Five Emperors.
Bai Di's wife and several sons are difficult to get close to. After all, Baidi is the Great Emperor, who once served as a shaman god and led the entire world. Even if he was defeated by the Immortal Family in the Tribulation of the Gods, it would still be a tiger's death, and he could not lose his pride.
As an outsider, Lu You spent five years trying to establish a relationship with Qiongqi and Qiongshen.
Qiongqi and Qiongshen each have the word "qiong", and they are both people with defective character.
According to the record in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors": "The Shaohao family had a man who was not talented, who broke his trust, was loyal, and spoke evil words. He was called Qiongqi in the world." Shun exiled him and "moved to the four descendants to ward off evil spirits." ".
Qiong Shen, as Qiong Qi's younger brother, Black Emperor Zhuan Xu's cousin, and Gao Tao's cousin, was also greedy.
The two people accepted the gold liquid presented by Lu You and entertained Lu You in a large manor.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Qiongqi spoke freely and said: "Father, in response to Qing Emperor's call, he went to a secret place to retreat, and together with several other great emperors, he practiced the art of dividing and attacking together. I don't know when. Only then can you leave the customs."
Qiong Shen said: "Before leaving, my father told us to practice the Golden Sky Sword Technique. He said that when we have mastered the eighty-one moves, he should come back. If he comes back and we haven't mastered it yet, we will have to suffer." Punitive.”
Qiongqi grinned and said: "How can it be so easy to master the sword technique that my father is famous for? Even the eldest brother 'Chong' and the second brother 'Bai' haven't mastered it fully."
Lu You expressed his confusion and asked: "Both princes are smart, wise and highly skilled people. Why can't they refine a set of sword techniques?"
Qiongqi waved his hand and said: "You don't understand. The sword technique passed down by my father is very complicated. The difficulty lies not in the sword fighting skills, but in the sword formation composed of gold runes. The sword energy stretches thirty thousand miles, and the light of one sword is cold for ten thousand miles." Jiuzhou!"
Lu You looked envious and confused and said, "Is he really that powerful?"
"If you don't believe it, I'll show you my hands." Qiongqi was so drunk that he threw the fairy sword and used the Golden Sky Sword Technique.
He has only performed seventy-seven and forty-nine moves, and has not yet learned the following moves.
After the Seven Seven and Forty-Nine Forms, many ravines were left for thousands of miles around, each of which was a hundred feet deep.
Qiongqi waved his hand, and those ravines were filled up again.
After that, Lu You went to see Qiongqi and Qiongshen every month. As time went by, he gradually understood most of the Golden Sky Sword Techniques.
In addition to gold powder and gold liquid, he also took out some basic talismans to communicate and discuss with each other. After all, the Lu family has mastered 13,800 basic runes and has a high level of research on runes.
Although Qiongqi and Qiongshen are greedy, they are not fools and cannot be bought with gold powder and gold liquid alone.
Through many exchanges and discussions, Lu You gradually mastered Baidi's Mental Technique. At first it was just the basic part, and then he went deeper and gradually came into contact with the essence of Baidi's Mental Technique.
In the end, he even saw the jade plate engraved with the Golden Sky Sword Technique, and helped Qiong Qi and Qiong Shen decipher the complex rune sword formation.
Ten years later, Qiongqi's skill improved by leaps and bounds, and his mastery of the Golden Sky Sword Technique advanced from seventy-nine and forty-nine to seventy-nine and sixty-three. Lu You secretly learned the seventy-two moves of the Golden Sky Sword.
However, the so-called "learning" only means mastering its principles, but it does not mean that it can be used.
Only when one reaches the realm of the Immortal Emperor can one cast the full version of the Golden Sky Sword Technique.
At the same time, Guan Xuanyue was not idle either.
She found Shaohao's youngest daughter "Xiao Yao".
Xiaoyao (yāo) means "the peach blossoms shine brightly".
Xiaoyao is young and has low skill. She is still in the late stage of Tianwu and has not yet advanced to the level of Witch King. She has an innocent personality and is deeply loved by Emperor Bai. She has been named the "goddess" of the Xiling clan since she was a child.
The patriarch of the Xiling clan is Emperor Xuanyuan's concubine Yuan, who is also Xiaoyao's grandmother. She was revered as the "Silkworm God" and "Female Saint" for her invention of raising silkworms to draw silk and making clothes, which clothed future generations.
Guan Xuanyue got the Xiling clan's unique silkworm seed from Xiao Yao.
For many years, the Lu family has been purchasing silkworm seeds. Initially, the "dragon silkworms" they obtained were of a lower grade, equivalent to "sixth age silkworms." Later, after cultivation, they were gradually upgraded to "nine-year-old fairy silkworms."
The unique silkworm species of Xiling family is called "Eighteen-year-old Jade Silkworm".
Ordinary silkworms in the world go through a total of 4 times of shedding from silkworm ants to cocoons. From the first time the silkworm ants shed their skin to become first-instar silkworms, then to second-instar silkworms, third-instar silkworms, and fourth-instar silkworms, the last time they shed their skin is called the Great Sleep. , the whole cycle is about 40 days, and it becomes the fifth instar silkworm (mature silkworm). By the end of the fifth instar, the appetite of the mature silkworm will decrease. When it stops eating completely, the body of the mature silkworm will appear transparent and yellow, and its head will be raised and swayed left and right to look for a place to form a cocoon.
Xiling's jade silkworm can theoretically shed its skin eighteen times, and the final cocoon obtained is crystal clear. Its silk is the key to making certain artifacts.
For example, fairy ropes, phoenix harp strings, neon clothes, lark flags, apricot yellow flags, demon-beckoning flags, etc.
It can be said that with the Jade Silkworm's silkworm seeds, the Lu family will achieve a major breakthrough in silk weaving instruments.
Relevant research has been going on for many years, and mature rune structures are already available. What is currently lacking is high-grade silk. The silk quality is not high enough to carry the rune array, which limits the Lu family's creativity in silk weaving instruments.
Lu You and Guan Xuanyue stayed on the White Emperor Star for twenty years, and then spent a lot of effort to find the star where the Red Emperor settled.
The Red Emperor Shennong was also known as the Lieshan clan, the Lianshan clan, and the Kuikui clan.
Shennong is not a single person, but a clan. Shennong is a title inherited from generation to generation. Kuei's family of Red Emperor inherited the title of Shennong and was called Emperor Yan. He replaced Fuxi's family and became the common ruler of the world.
Red Emperor had one son and four daughters. The son's name is Yu Zong. The eldest daughter is named Yunsang, the second daughter is named Yao Ji, and the third daughter is a female child. In addition, there is also an adopted daughter named Mu Jin.
Although the Red Emperor is the top Immortal Emperor and is honored by future generations as the "King of Medicine", "King of Five Grains", "First Emperor of Five Grains", "Emperor Shennong", etc., his life is a tragedy and he failed to protect his own health. child.
The girl drowned before she reached adulthood and turned into a Jingwei.
Yao Ji had just reached the age of marriage and died before she got married. And her spirit flew to Guyao Mountain and turned into a Yao grass. Whoever eats its fruit will be loved by thousands of people.
Emperor Yan was sad that his daughter died early, so he made her the God of Clouds and Rain in Wushan. At the end of the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu traveled to Yunmeng and lived in a Taiwanese mansion called "Gaotang". I dreamed of Yao Ji at night. After King Huai woke up, he recalled his dream and felt happy and melancholy at the same time. He ordered people to build a temple named "Chaoyun" for him near Gaotang.
Later, King Chu Qingxiang, son of King Huai, also came here to play with his handsome boy Song Yu. That night, Song Yu also dreamed the same dream as King Huai. The next day, Song Yu told King Qingxiang about this and what happened to King Huai. King Qingxiang was so envious that he ordered Song Yu to use these two strange dreams to write two poems, namely "Gaotang Fu" and "Goddess Fu".
Let’s talk about Emperor Yan’s eldest daughter Yun Sang. After she practiced Taoism and became an immortal, she lived on a mulberry tree in Nanyang Mountain. From the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she built a nest for herself in the tree. From then on, I never wanted to come down, probably because I felt that this world was not worth it. But what would happen if his daughter didn't come down? As a father, Emperor Yan missed his daughter in his heart, and even his words were worn out, but it was still in vain. Emperor Yan was very angry. This unfilial girl wouldn't come down, would she? Do you think there is nothing you can do about your father? Okay, I'll find someone to burn the mulberry tree to see if you can't get down. Originally, Emperor Yan just wanted to coerce his daughter into submission. Who knew that in the flames soaring into the sky, this girl actually shed her flesh and blood body and became a feather like her sisters? Soared. Emperor Yan wanted to cry but had no tears, so the mulberry tree was later named "Emperor Numulberry".
Lu You and Guan Xuanyue were not able to see the Red Emperor himself, but only saw his son Ming Yugong and adopted daughter Mu Jin.
Yugong was a young witch emperor and the successor of the Shennong family. During the heyday of the Shennong clan, there were nine Wu Emperors, but most of them fell away, leaving only the Red Emperor and Yu Deng.
The Witch Emperor mentioned here is different from the Immortal Emperor. There is a distinction between the Great Witch Emperor and the Little Witch Emperor. The Great Witch Emperor is no less than the Immortal Emperor, while the Little Witch Emperor is equivalent to the later stage of the Immortal King.
Yugong has been practicing for many years, and ever since his skills reached the Little Witch Emperor, he has been stuck there, unable to advance to the Great Witch Emperor.
Even with the guidance of his father, Red Emperor, he still could not break through the final hurdle.
Therefore, Yu Zeng was in a depressed mood, looking up at the stars and sighing every day.
Lu You and Guan Xuanyue had just shattered the void and landed on the ground when they were discovered by Yu Gang.
Yu Gong did not launch an attack because Lu You was not a pure immortal cultivator, but had practiced witchcraft. Anyone who had practiced witchcraft would have a layer of Qi unique to witch cultivators if they did not cover it up deliberately, especially Lu You. It is a dual cultivation of wood and fire. Among them, the fire cultivation method comes from the stone tomb pictures left by Zhu Rong.
Yu Gong took the initiative to meet Lu You and asked about his origins.
Lu You is a person with rich heritage. Although his skills are not high and he has only reached the middle stage of Immortal King, his spiritual consciousness and cultivation theory have reached the peak of Immortal King. As long as there is an opportunity to contact the other party, he can achieve the purpose of in-depth exchanges and exchanges. .
The sage said: If you are walking among three people, you must have me as your teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Always learn from others' strengths and learn from them, and always learn from others' shortcomings. This is not only the best way to cultivate and improve yourself, but also an important condition for promoting harmony in interpersonal relationships.
Lu You lived here and talked with Yu Gong from time to time.
Gradually, he understood Yugong's plight.
The so-called Little Witch Emperor refers to a top monk who has cultivated eight skulls and developed six magical powers; while the Great Witch Emperor is based on the powers of Heavenly Eyes, Heavenly Ears, Other Hearts, Fate, Divine Feet, and All Outflows. It opens the key to the harmony of time and space, which is the key to "surmounting all tribulations".
The tribulation of time, also called the wave of tribulation, can be divided into small tribulation, medium tribulation and major tribulation. Just like a clock, it makes a ding-dong sound every time it reaches the hour, which has a profound impact on the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor.
The years are passing by, the mountains and mausoleums are far away, thousands of books about the past and present are disappearing forever, and the dawn through the window sends the fleeting years away. It is this feeling of a little passing and forgetting that will make the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor feel pain.
To use an analogy, the calamity wave is like a small knife, specially designed to poke into the heart of a person. If it is poked from time to time, it will not kill the person, but it will also make it difficult for people to sleep and eat, making them unable to calm down and practice.
If you cannot overcome the "tribulation wave", your skill will stagnate, and no matter how hard you practice, you will not make any progress.
But the Great Witch Emperor is different. Even if he cannot completely defeat the calamity wave, he can initially suppress it and improve his own skills.
It can be said that after cultivating to the peak of the Witch King and the Little Witch Emperor, it becomes extremely difficult to move forward, as if you are standing still.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current, facing endless torture, feeling depressed and in unbearable pain. As time goes by, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
This is a way of restraint by heaven.
Just like a tree, it will stop when it reaches a certain height.
Just like a mouse, if it cannot transform into a demon in the human world, it will die before it grows to a hundred pounds; even if it becomes a demon in the fairy world, it will still be restricted by many factors.
Comparatively speaking, the Lu family has mastered 115 time talismans so far, plus 300 space talismans, which is already far ahead of other Immortal Kings and Little Witch Emperors, and even surpasses the Great Witch Emperor.
The Great Witch Emperor is not equal to gods and demons. Gods and demons have no emotions. They cannot feel pain and loneliness, so they will not be affected by the tribulation waves. The Witch King and the Witch Emperor were both trained by human beings. For example, the Qing Emperor Fuxi, the Red Emperor Shennong, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and even Empress Nuwa, these witch emperors were all born from the human race.
Fuxi and Nuwa are both personal names and clan names, and they are also synonymous with "country" and political power. Fuxi and Nuwa were married and had four sons.
Fuxi and Nuwa's regime was the founding stage of ancient Chinese civilization, with a total of seventy-eight Witch Emperors passed down.
These seventy-eight Witch Emperors are composed of two main bodies. One main body is the direct descendants of Fuxi and Nuwa, called the pure-blood Fuxi clan; the other is the allied tribes of the Fuxi and Nuwa tribe, called the Great Fuxi clan. Among them, there are twenty-four pure-blood emperors of the Fuxi clan. A total of fifteen families of the Fuxi clan participated in the governance, with a total of fifty-four witch emperors.
Since one is born in the human race, it is difficult to break away from the shackles of emotions and cannot completely and completely "survive all the tribulations". Because of this, several great wizard emperors failed during the Great Tribulation of the Gods and had to lead their people to retreat to certain stars deep in the universe.
Lu You always believes that there are ways to resolve any constraints of heaven. As long as you master enough time talismans, it is possible to completely solve the problem of "tribulation waves". This is like the way a cook divides a cow. Ordinary people look at a big cow and don't know where to start. But for a cook who is proficient in anatomy and understands the direction of its bones and tendons, it is easy to separate the whole cow. Untie.
