After achieving the golden elixir, Xu Ke has become the top monk in the entire vast wilderness.
The consequence of this is that... there is nothing in the vast wilderness that can help Xu Ke's practice.
Well, there is one more.
We still need to explore the copper coffin in the Filthy Land to see if we can find the complete "Yunmeng Sutra" and study the method of transforming into gods. Otherwise, we will not be able to follow the path of cultivation in the future.
The verification of the exercises in the Golden Elixir stage, through a tricky method, used the spirituality of the Purple Phoebe Lingmu as the magic weapon spirituality to verify the correctness of the exercises in the Golden Elixir stage.
Next, if the skills at the Nascent Soul stage are to be verified, the Lingbao "Hunyuan Yiqi Taichu Talisman" must be promoted to the Spirit Transformation Treasure, thereby confirming that the skills at the Yuanying Stage can be practiced to the point of becoming gods.
No matter in terms of knowledge or cultivation resources, Cangmangyuan can no longer provide it. There is simply not enough knowledge and resources to promote the Lingbao to the Spirit Transformation Treasure.
I hope that something can be gained from the copper coffin in the Filthy Land, otherwise... we have to consider the next step.
The seven major sects in Cangmang Plain all migrated from Taiheng Mountain.
The Donghuang Sutra deduced from the True Shape of the Golden Crow is only one of the "Great Sun Sutras" in the "Three Lights Divine Canon", one of the eight true traditions of Mount Taiheng.
Judging from this point, there must be more abundant high-level skills and high-level knowledge on the other side of Mount Taiheng, and the resources for cultivation must also be richer.
To obtain these resources, you do not necessarily need to go out personally, it can also be a sect action.
After unifying the Cangmang Plains, the Cangmang Immortal Alliance has developed rapidly, but a bottleneck is about to come. To continue to develop, it is not enough to stay in the Cangmang Plains. It must be in contact with the outside world and cannot be closed to the outside world.
Therefore, it is also necessary to form a caravan and open up a trade route to the Taiheng Mountain area.
Before forming a caravan to open up a trade route, it is best to have someone explore the route.
Xu Ke immediately thought of Zhang Lingfeng who was traveling.
Since you are traveling, where can you go without traveling? You might as well let him go to Taiheng Mountain to explore the road.
It is not difficult to contact Zhang Lingfeng.
Among the pile of things Xu Ke gave to Zhang Lingfeng, there was an array for transmitting letters over long distances.
In the past few years, Zhang Lingfeng also occasionally sent messages through the formation plate, telling Xu Ke about what he had seen during his travels. Xu Ke also saw from this that Zhang Lingfeng had no clear destination at all and was just wandering around.
It would also be good for Zhang Lingfeng to let him go to the Taiheng Mountain area, where the more prosperous practice world is.
It won't be a problem if Zhang Lingfeng goes to explore the road and it takes ten or eight years.
Xu Ke is only 21 years old now, and he has already achieved the golden elixir. He still has 1,500 years to live, so what's the rush?
There shouldn't be much danger in exploring the Taiheng Mountain area.
Anyway, five thousand and four hundred years have passed, and the seven major sects in the Cangmang Plain have not been hunted down or exterminated, which shows that the other party does not take these remnants seriously and does not care at all.
What's more, Zhang Lingfeng only practices the "Water Control Fubo Kung Fu", which has nothing to do with the true techniques of the seven major sects. He also doesn't know that the seven major sects originated from the Taiheng Immortal Sect. He is just an ordinary traveling monk.
With Zhang Lingfeng's agility and his lack of ostentation, there shouldn't be much danger in traveling around the Taiheng Mountain area.
After Zhang Lingfeng travels around and understands the situation, he can let the Cangmang Immortal Alliance's caravan open a trade route to Taiheng Mountain.
Maybe... there will be a chance to recapture Taiheng Mountain in the future.
After thinking it all over, Xu Ke felt that there was no problem with this plan, so he planned to discuss it with the master.
After getting up and going out, he came to Haoyang Hall, where Xu Ke discussed with the head master.
"Huh? The aura on your body..."
The headmaster glanced at Xu Ke, "It feels like a mortal to me. I can't even feel the fluctuations in spiritual power. It's a bit weird."
"Oh, it's formed."
Xu Ke smiled and answered casually.
"Energy formation..."
The headmaster took a breath of air, "How many years have it been? You have already formed an elixir? And... who can form an elixir and not even feel the fluctuations of spiritual power? Is this a return to nature?"
"The technique is just special."
Xu Ke waved his hand, "It's not important."
"really."
The master of the teaching nodded, and said that it is normal to have such a return to nature, as it is the master's magical power after all.
"You came to me with something to say?"
The two sat down in the side hall, and the headmaster asked Xu Ke.
"I have an idea."
Xu Ke told the real leader his plan, "If the Cangmang Immortal Alliance wants to continue to develop, it must contact the outside world. It will not work to stay in a corner and isolate itself from the country."
"That's exactly what I meant."
The head master smiled and nodded, "However, my development direction is not in the Taiheng Mountain area. Land transportation there is very troublesome. Unless we take a detour by sea, it is too far."
"The north of Cangshan Mountain is the land of Southern Border, where poisonous insects and miasma are rampant. Most of the practitioners are hereditary and use the poisonous miasma of poisonous insects as their method. They are ferocious and cruel and difficult to deal with."
Hearing this, Xu Ke was stunned, "Has the sect explored the north of Cangshan Mountain?"
"of course not."
The real head master shook his head, "These are the records left by the ancestors of the sects. When they migrated through southern Xinjiang, the seven major sects paid a lot of money to come here."
"Then...where does the Master plan to develop?"
Xu Ke also wanted to know the master's plan.
"Of course it's overseas!"
The headmaster smiled and said, "The Manghe Sword Sect has had fleets going to sea before, and it also has business dealings with monks from overseas islands. We are familiar with the roads and it is much more convenient than going north to explore."
"What's the situation like in the overseas cultivation world?"
Xu Ke wanted to know whether there were more advanced cultivation knowledge and resources in the overseas cultivation world.
"Currently, the only overseas cultivation community that the Manghe Sword Sect has come into contact with is Cuiyun Island. The monks on the island are about the same as us, and the highest cultivation level is at the Golden Core stage."
The head master looked up at Xu Ke and said with a smile: "However, the overseas is vast and boundless. There must be more islands and more prosperous cultivation territories."
Regarding Xu Ke's idea of opening up the outside world, the headmaster also knew the real reason.
Xu Ke has formed a pill, and the Cangmang Immortal Alliance can no longer provide him with higher-level knowledge and resources. He must find more ways to do so.
"Indeed!"
Xu Ke nodded, fully agreeing with this.
How vast is the sea? The resources in the sea are more abundant than those on land, and the monsters that can be born in the sea are more, larger, and even stronger than those on land.
The overseas spiritual practice community will surely prosper, that’s for sure.
Since the sect has already planned to do business overseas, open up maritime trade routes, and open up connections between the vast plains and the outside world, sooner or later it will come into contact with the prosperous overseas cultivation world.
In this case, there is no need for Zhang Lingfeng to take risks in the Taiheng Mountain area. Just let him wander around overseas.
The Taiheng Mountain area can be used as the next step of planning.
Hmm... The southern borderland north of Cangshan Mountain can also be gradually contacted. Although the art of poisonous miasma is a heretical theory, it is not without reference value.
"In that case, let's act according to the master's plan."
Xu Ke stood up and bowed his hands to the master, "I plan to go to the Dirty Land in two days to see the copper coffin."
"Just make the decision yourself."
The head master nodded, "The overseas expansion will be carried out in the near future. The sect has already built a city at the mouth of the Mang River, and Tiangong Pavilion has also built a sea ship, which will soon set sail."
"The development of the sect is booming!"
Xu Ke smiled, then said goodbye and left.
Back at Bishuitan, both Cheng Mingzi and Jing Yue were practicing with great concentration, and both of them were making good progress.
Cheng Mingzi reinterpreted the Canglang Sword Technique using Xuanmen magic, and his understanding of the sword technique became deeper and more thorough. Although his cultivation level has not improved much, it is still in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, but his strength has improved greatly.
In Cheng Mingzi's words, he can now beat his two previous selves.
Jing Yue also successfully transferred to the Five Elements True Method, and his cultivation level was promoted to the tenth level of Qi training. In a few years, he will be able to build the foundation.
Monkey and Purple Skylark, their spiritual wisdom has been opened after building the foundation. Xu Ke also taught them the "True Method of Moving Mountains" and "Purple Cloud Wind God Method", and their practice has progressed steadily, which is not bad.
It's just that...both Monkey and Purple Skylark are a little dissatisfied with Xuanmen magic. After a few years, they are just beginners and have to continue to work hard.
Xu Ke took a look at the conditions of the two people and the beasts, and walked into the cave in the mountain without disturbing them.
After walking up to the altar and releasing the spiritual treasure "Hunyuan Yiqi Taichu Talisman", Xu Ke drove the formation, transformed the spiritual power of space, and directly opened a portal.
With one step, he arrived at the underground cave of the Filth Land and appeared on the large formation altar.
After the Quan Rong army was destroyed with the filthy energy, this place became a strategic location for the sect. Except for Xu Ke, who could come and go at will, no one else had this convenience.
With a flash of figure, Xu Ke walked out of the altar, and with a flash of light, he came to the underground ruins.
After being promoted to Jindan, Xu Ke mastered too many escape techniques to count.
The Five Elements Escape Technique, the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, the Golden Light Escape Technique... Xu Ke has learned all the escape techniques that exist in the books of the seven sects, and is extremely proficient in them.
Of course Xu Ke must learn this kind of escape technique, which can both chase the enemy and escape. It is mainly for the convenience of escape. Xu Ke must learn it, and he must be extremely proficient in it.
Walking into the underground ruins, the spiritual treasure "Hunyuan Yiqi Taichu Talisman" hanging behind Xu Ke's head turned into a purifying light curtain, covering Xu Ke's whole body, blocking out the filthy air.
Walking all the way into the ruins hall, Xu Ke saw the aura of the copper coffin entangled with filthy things.
At this moment, Xu Ke's realm and knowledge are no longer at the same level as last time.
The quality of the golden elixir has been improved a hundred times, and the academic attainments have been improved a hundred times, allowing Xu Ke to quickly see through the "intention" of the copper coffin aura.
The law has its essence, and this residual spiritual light instinctively wants to drive away the filthy things. It keeps circulating the spiritual light, trying to cast spells to drive away this filthy thing.
But... although the quality of the spiritual light is extremely high, the "quantity" of spiritual power is very small, at most it is equivalent to the amount during the Qi training period.
However, how advanced is the boss?
The spells in the Qi training period are too low-level for the big guys, and may not be used for hundreds or thousands of years.
This resulted in that there was no imprint of the spells from the Qi training period in the aura.
So... a problem that can be solved by a spell during the Qi training period cannot be solved by the copper coffin aura.
"In that case, I will help you."
With a thought, Xu Ke's whole body of mana instantly turned into the "Yunmeng Mantra", turning into cloud spiritual power that came from the same source as the aura of the copper coffin.
The spiritual treasure halo hanging behind his head also transformed and turned into cloud spiritual power.
With a finger, a cloud rushed out of the spiritual treasure's light wheel and fell into the copper coffin's spiritual light.
The spiritual power from the same source merged together quickly without any hindrance. The aura's instinct immediately gave up its own operation and was completely controlled by Xu Ke.
"Hand of Moyun."
Xu Ke used the cloud spell analyzed from the aura of the copper coffin to drive the aura of the copper coffin into a hand condensed with clouds and mist, and wiped the filthy thing on the coffin lid.
The quality of the aura of the copper coffin is extremely high, and it will not be a problem to resist filth.
If it were Xu Ke's own spiritual power, even if he were killed, he wouldn't touch that mass. If he touched it, it would be polluted and eroded, and if he touched it, his life would be worse than death.
The filthy thing is just a dead mass, it just keeps emitting the odor of filth, and it has no "autonomy". It is easily wiped off the coffin lid by the "hand of Moyun" and thrown away far away. .
Xu Ke immediately withdrew the spiritual power integrated into the aura.
The next moment, the spiritual light lingered in a circle and turned into a cloud of light, protecting the copper coffin.
With a click, the coffin lid opened.
Xu Ke raised his eyes and looked over. There was no body in the coffin.
This is inevitable.
The way to practice Qi is the Dao of Yuanshen.
Jing, Qi, Shen, the three treasures are integrated into one. The body, soul and spiritual power are completely integrated. Spirit is matter, matter is spirit, and there is no longer any distinction between body and soul.
Therefore, after the death of such a powerful monk, it is naturally impossible for there to be such a thing as a corpse.
There is only one tablet in the copper coffin.
The letter read: "The general photograph is Yin and Yang, who governs the six qi clouds and is the great master of the clouds."
This name... is a bit scary!
It turns out that the big boss in the copper coffin is called "Yun Zhongjun"?
This should not be a name, but an honorific title.
Taking charge of yin and yang, controlling the six qi, the god in the clouds, the true king of the great road, what an unfathomable realm is this?
Out of respect for his seniors, Xu Ke bowed to this tablet as a tribute to his seniors.
After this prayer... of course nothing happened.
How can there be so many opportunities for the right person?
Most of the monks "just want to live a long and happy life". Even if they are going to die, they have no idea of "leaving it to someone who is destined to be with them".
I worked hard, stumbled, and nearly survived to get these treasures. Why should I leave them to others?
Therefore, if you want to gain something, you have to find a way yourself.
Xu Ke's heavenly eye fell on the tablet and saw the remaining traces of spiritual energy running in it. He should be able to find something in it, but he didn't know if it would be dangerous.
If you use Lingbao to transfer, even if there is danger, just give up the Lingbao.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Ke stretched out his hand and the Lingbao nimbus hanging behind his head shot out another cloud of light and landed on the tablet.
as expected.
The spiritual power coming from the same source fell into the tablet and was immediately absorbed by the tablet, running according to a specific trajectory.
Oh haha, it seems that I can still gain something this time.
