Chapter 1: The Seven-Colored Dragon Boat, Azure Pearl...

  "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is much stronger than that of the Tianhao Peak where I live. It's probably because of this that Golei Xin, a new entry-level disciple, is in this place."

  "The master said that reciting the Wan Nian Jing and other methods would not conflict with each other, so I can practice with peace of mind."

  At dawn, Luo Bei sat cross-legged in the Dao Xin Hall on Tian Yu Peak, feeling the gentle heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surrounding him.

  This Heart Temple has a plaque with four large, bold characters that read "Heart Nature" and is located on the mountain rock, outside the window is a four-sided heavy building of a thousand feet deep.

  Only six new disciples who can stay here to practice the Great Way of Direct Pointing to the Green Void Secret remained: Luobei, Cai Li, Ling Dongshan, Lin Hang, Miao Mu and Gong Yang Jin Bo.

  Shu Mountain has been established for thousands of years, and every year, Ge Lai, Tian Zhu, and Jing Shen each accept new disciples. The number of disciples varies from twenty to forty, but according to what Lin Hang privately told Luo Bei, the system of Shu Mountain's entrance and cultivation has long been established, with each step linked together. In the past, they would first teach the Purple Mystic Air Technique, and only after passing the trial would they formally transmit the Great Dao's Direct Purple Vacuity Technique. This year, however, is the first time they have directly eliminated disciples in such a ruthless manner.

  Shu Mountain is famous for its flying swordsmanship, and its sword techniques are considered unparalleled in the world by even Yuan Tianyi. The three veins of Shu Mountain, namely Ge Lai, Tian Zhu, and Jing Shen, each have their own strengths. Over the centuries, countless magical swords have emerged from Shu Mountain, some of which were obtained by disciples during their external training due to coincidence, while most others were refined on Tian Zhu Peak, where the art of refining equipment is practiced.

  Jing Shen Qun Feng, re-repair Fu Luo Jue Fa, flying sword as auxiliary, Shu Fa as main, but Ge Li Qun Feng, is actually with flying sword as main.

  So these three veins also have differences in the practice of their methods. Although Shu Mountain is not as good as Kunlun, which has the best techniques in the world, it probably also has several hundred sets of various cultivation methods.

  Shu Mountain is famous for its flying swords, and Ge Li Peak is actually a heavy weight of Shu Mountain. The other two veins have a tendency to rely on each other. Therefore, although Zixuan Valley and Lingdong Mountain knew little about it at that time, one thing was certain: the disciples of Ge Li Peak had more opportunities to go out and practice.

  Because Shu Mountain's strongest power is still the Flying Sword Technique!

  The swordsmanship of Mount Shu's Sword Manual is far surpassed by Qingcheng's flying swords.

  The great way of direct pointing to the emerald void belongs to the inner elixir method, which is the foundation of various flying sword methods in Mount Shu!

  Only by first cultivating the Great Way to directly point to the mysterious void, and reaching a certain realm, can one control objects, and only then can one attach a strand of yuan Shen to the flying sword, making the flying sword and oneself become one body. Even drawing the sword into the body, using the yuan Qi cultivated and the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy guided in, to nourish and temper the flying sword.

  Cultivating the inner elixir method is more perilous than searching for herbs on Tian Zhu Peak, so the disciples of Ge Li are all practicing in the Dao Xin Hall during the day with their masters' protection.

  After memorizing this Taoist scripture, the first step of entering stillness in this Shu Mountain Taoist scripture was not a difficult task for Luo Bei at all.

  He placed his hands on top of each other below his lower abdomen, and slowly inhaled and exhaled according to the method. He almost instantly felt a faint thread of heavenly energy entering his body from the crown of his head.

  Luobei immediately felt that the spiritual energy of Yufeng was pure and gentle, rarely having the kind of thick and mottled impurities like Luo Fu.

  "What is the effect of Yu Ning Dan?"

  Luobei followed the method, purely using his mind to guide these spiritual energies to slowly flow and turn in his body, gathering at the Mud Palace Sea of Consciousness. After continuously flowing for three large cycles, Luobei discovered that even some turbid and impure energies entangled with the spiritual energies instantly vanished as a faint purple energy rose from the meridians and dispersed them.

  That faint purple gas enveloping the meridians is actually the poison of the "Extinction Pill", which is actually the medicinal power of Yu Cong Dan.

  Judging from the efficacy of this Jade Congealing Pill, it seems that Dan Ling's last statement about the difficulty in finding a certain herb was not an exaggeration. This Jade Congealing Pill is absolutely not an ordinary pill.

  The spiritual energy of Tianyu Peak was originally very pure and warm, and with the elimination of the evil and turbid air by the Yu Cong Dan, compared to when Luo Bei cultivated the Mahakala secret method in the past, the situation can be said to be like heaven and earth.

  "What?"

  If there were people who had cultivated the Seven Qiao's Eye or other gaze techniques, they would definitely see that when Luo Bei was cultivating, the thin spiritual energy around his body seemed to be rushing into his body in a hurry. The speed at which Luo Bei absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much faster than others who were also cultivating now, making it clear that he was more successful than others. In fact, this was indeed the case. After Yuantianyi used the Reverse Heaven Secret Method to forcibly change his bone structure and meridians, Luo Bei's innate talent could be described as astonishing. When Luo Bei cultivated, he didn't feel much difficulty either. However, the Great Way Direct Pointing Qingxu Technique required him to gather the absorbed spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Mud Palace Sea of Consciousness to condense and refine it. According to the technique, with Luo Bei's speed of absorbing spiritual energy, the accumulation of spiritual energy in the Mud Palace Sea of Consciousness should also be very fast. But what Luo Bei didn't expect was that after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had circulated in his body for dozens of cycles, the accumulated spiritual energy in the Mud Palace Sea of Consciousness was only a few thin strands.

  The golden primordial energy condensed by the Mahakala Vajra Golden Sun True Fire is different from the primordial energy condensed by the direct pointing of the Emerald Void Secret, which is greenish-blue in color.

  Now entering stillness and introspection, Luo Bei sees that within his own vast muddy palace of consciousness, a few strands of floating green silk are drifting about.

  "This Shu Mountain Kung Fu might have been slow from the very beginning."

  Although Luo Bei felt surprised, at this time he didn't think much and just continued to practice according to the method.

  What he didn't know was that compared to him, Ling Dongshan's internal vision had already absorbed several times more of the spiritual energy from heaven and earth at a speed much slower than his.

  Kunlun's ninth ring island, in the midst of the boundless void above the eighth ring island, a man wearing ordinary plain white robes sat cross-legged in mid-air with no support.

  This was a height that even some ancient birds of prey could not reach, where the air was thin and icy cold. Moreover, there were unique gales here. Within a few snaps of the fingers, dozens of gales like solid objects, along with ice crystals in the high sky, cut towards the man like sharp blades.

  The man sat still, but around his body was a layer of transparent light that enveloped him. The sharp winds and ice crystals that were like razor-sharp blades exploded continuously on the transparent light shield around his body, creating a magnificent spectacle.

  This man was actually fighting against the power of heaven and earth while cultivating his magic.

  "Master!"

  Suddenly, the man pressed his hands on the empty air and stood up in mid-air, exclaiming in surprise.

  The phoenix with closed eyes appeared in front of him, not far away.

  Facing the man in plain clothes, who looked at him with a mixture of joy and reverence, Huang Wuxin's expressionless face seemed to have a rare hint of satisfaction. "Qilian Liancheng, your great path is like heavenly fate, one more step and you can form a yuan fetus."

  Qilian City!

  It turned out that this man, who was wearing ordinary clothes and resisting the power of heaven and earth while cultivating, was actually one of the four direct disciples of Huang Wushen. Among the second-generation disciples in Kunlun today, his cultivation can be said to be the highest and most extraordinary in Qilian City!

  "Yes, Master. The disciple is dull and still lacks one step to cultivate the Yuan Infant." Qi Lian stood with his hands hanging down, respectfully nodding his head.

  "You don't have to be overly modest." Huáng Wú Shén Dào said: "Using only 40 years of time, you've cultivated to the point where you're just one step away from forming a Yuan Ying. In the past thousand years of Kunlun, there haven't been many people who have made progress as fast as yours."

  "But compared to Master, it's still far from enough. Even compared to the original Yu Tianyi of that day, it's still deeply inadequate." Qi Lian took a deep breath and said forcefully.

  "With a resolute heart and determination, your future achievements may not be inferior to mine." Huáng Wúshén flipped over his left palm, revealing a bead the size of a chicken egg that emitted a red glow, its magical power rippling out like ripples on water, floating in front of Qīlián Liàn's eyes.

  "Jade Emperor!"

  Qilian's face changed as soon as he saw the pearl, and he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

  No wonder he was so, because this pearl turned out to be a real dragon's inner elixir!

  Jiaolong is a born anomaly, an ancient divine beast. From birth, it has opened its spiritual awareness and understands how to cultivate itself. As long as it cultivates the inner elixir, one day it will be able to ride the wind and rain, transform into a true five-clawed golden dragon, break through the void, and become an existence comparable to a transcendent immortal in the realm of cultivation.

  For ordinary heterobestiaries, the Jiaolong who is born with mastery of wind, water, thunder and electricity techniques is naturally a top-notch existence.

  Perhaps a crimson python that has cultivated for ten thousand years is not as good as an aquatic dragon that has cultivated for a thousand years.

  And generally, the inner elixir cultivated by the spiritual beast is an invaluable treasure for the cultivator. From this fire-red python dan in front of us, it can be seen that it has at least a thousand years of fire energy!

  As long as this inner elixir is refined and transformed for one's own use, the Qilian City can directly achieve the great completion of the golden elixir, breaking through several obstacles at once, and directly cultivating the yuan fetus!

  "Master... what is this...." Thus, looking at the dragon's inner elixir floating in front of him, Qi Liancheng was so shocked that he didn't dare to reach out and touch it for a moment.

  "You take this inner elixir, and you should be able to cultivate the yuan fetus." Huang Wushen's expression didn't change in the slightest, but he said lightly, "After cultivating the yuan fetus, you can lead Qiong Lai and the others out of the mountain."

  "Going out?" Qi Lianlian, who had already cultivated a firm mind, took several deep breaths before calming down and asked, looking at Huang Wuxin, "What does Master want us to do? Are we going out to slay demons and monsters like Bao Tuzi Shixiong and the others?"

  "For hundreds of years, the world's aura has been transforming, with Taoism declining and demonism rising. More people are cultivating demonic arts and magic, if no measures are taken, it may lead to a catastrophe like the Great Blood Demon Change hundreds of years ago."

  "Qi operation transformation, actually reached this point!" Qi Lian's whole body shook.

  "Yuan Tianyi's cultivation, the power of Luo Fu's method, you've already seen it." Huang Wushen also let out a deep breath, "Although Yuan Tianyi has fallen, but Yi Changlao divined yesterday with the Heavenly Machine, using the Heavenly Machine divination technique to calculate that Luo Fu already has a successor. And this child will definitely become a great calamity for our Kunlun, you go down the mountain and find him, no matter the cost, eliminate him!"
