Chapter 176: The Innate Heavenly Man, Catching the Turtle in the Jar
Wutong Cave Heaven, densely covered with true fire.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the true fire converged and a Taoist priest in white appeared.
The Taoist priest's eyes were noble purple, and then slowly turned into gold.
The surrounding Phoenix True Fire sometimes transformed into various magical instruments around him.
For example, it condensed into a scarlet giant sword.
Xu Xuan changed to the outside of Wutong Cave Heaven.
Wow!
The giant sword pierced into the earth, and the flames penetrated hundreds of feet underground.
The second level of the double pupils - the true fire incinerator.
This change is not only a change in appearance, but also a change in nature.
The nature of the flame is to spread and burn. If it changes into a sword, it can have the sharp nature of a sword.
Xu Xuan walked forward and picked up the giant sword. The fiery red giant sword looked like a gem.
Gently approached a tree.
Pah...
The blazing flames no longer burned slowly and spread, but penetrated into the tree like sword energy. Almost at the same time, the tree collapsed and was quickly burned to ashes by the flames.
If the true fire is transformed into a shield, it will have the defensive properties of a shield.
If it is transformed into a gun, it will have the penetrating power of a gun.
Reaching this level is equivalent to having many kinds of powerful magic weapons. This is the true fire incinerator, also known as the true fire weapon.
The Phoenix True Fire is not incapable of the Bronze Temple, but it is mainly restricted by the nature of the fire. The Bronze Temple has strong defense, or the "melting point" is too high. Either the cultivation is more advanced and start with the intensity of the fire; or change the nature of the fire, which is equivalent to not only melting, but also chopping with a knife and an axe.
If it is replaced with the magic formation used by the Mirror Realm when attacking Xuanjing Mountain, I am afraid that the formation can be broken in one go.
"Yuren Tiangong, I must get it." Xu Xuan's double pupils slowly converged, and he was full of confidence.
Not only does he want Yunding Tiangong, Xu Xuan also wants the blood of Yuren!
Bloodline is not necessarily good for the ordinary mortal body, the impure genes of mortals are passed down from generation to generation, and it is good if there is no genetic defect, or missing arms and legs, or more tumors on fingers.
All the initial realms of cultivating immortals are to improve their own defects first.
The innate humanoid species of feathered people are actually the gods in mythology. The wings and feathers are just the external manifestation of supernatural powers, not the monsters in legends.
The legends of ancient kings often have dragon heads, double pupils, snake tails, transparent bellies and other strange appearances. They are not monsters, but the innate celestial beings with supernatural powers.
This is not impossible to eliminate. It is very simple to become a normal mortal. You can do it with a thought, so the descendants of these immortals are basically in normal human form.
The reason why it has been preserved for a long time is probably because of the ancient ancestors' worship of immortals.
As a frequent guest in the legends of the heavens and the worlds, the appearance of early immortals is even feathered, so their bloodline is undoubtedly powerful, and absorbing their bloodline is good.
This kind of feathered people also has a characteristic-longevity.
Longevity is the key to becoming a master. Even if a person is weak, if he can live for 500 years, he is almost a master.
"I can "fish" again. I wonder if Yu Ren is aware of this."
Yuan Tiangang is not far from the celestial warrior and can break through to this level at any time. He has been inputting excess internal force into the Heshi Bi in recent years to prevent the bronze palace from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Now it is time for him to remove the restrictions.
Xu Xuan flashed outside the Wutong Cave.
Kou Xun and Li Chunfeng are also elderly people in their sixties. Of course, this age is still a prime age for warriors.
Warriors have strong physiques, and their physical functions will decline rapidly in the last five to eight years of their lives.
The spring breeze blows on the face, and the trees are green.
The bluestone road winds through the sea of flowers and green land, and bursts of flower fragrance waft over. Li Chunfeng and Kou Xun are playing Go.
"Congratulations to the True Lord for his great success!" Seeing Xu Xuan coming out of the mountain, the two congratulated him.
Li Chunfeng's temples were gray, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of Kou Xun's eyes.
Xu Xuan also sighed that time passed too quickly when he saw it.
He was like a person who was constantly being chased by time, constantly chasing the highest, constantly escaping time, and the people around him were left far behind, and they got old unknowingly.
"Well, Dacheng is done, where is Gu Qing?" Xu Xuan asked.
"He went down the mountain eight years ago."
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain to have a look too."
Before the two could answer, Xu Xuan disappeared.
Li Chunfeng and Kou Xun looked at each other, sighing, and only at their age did they understand the horror of time.
But with a beautiful woman by their side, what's the harm in dying?
The two held each other's hands tightly.
"How about we go down the mountain to travel?" Li Chunfeng asked.
"Sure, I want to go to the East China Sea to watch the sunrise, go to the South China Sea Islands to see corals, and go to the northern desert to ride horses."
"Haha, let's go tomorrow!"
Xu Xuan passed by Gu Hanwei's grave. He didn't know when, but the banyan tree planted by Gu Qing has now grown vigorously.
Chang'an City.
This place is called the City of Ten Thousand Cities, and it is the most prosperous place in the world.
In recent years, with the innovation of sailing technology, it has gradually established connections with the Far West, Luosha, and the countries of Nanyang. People from these small places come here and all sigh at the greatness of this majestic city.
It is the time of the annual imperial examination, and the flow of people is at its peak.
Xu Xuan transformed into a scholar and walked on the street, followed by an old man with white eyebrows, feeling the prosperity of the world that he had not experienced for a long time.
It is really endless, a prosperous scene that has never appeared in all dynasties.
The low earthen buildings before have also become buildings made of cement. Most of the buildings on both sides of the street are five to nine stories high. Some restaurants are opened on the upper floors, and long canvases are hung down.
There are noisy hawking sounds on both sides.
"The latest Tiangong Academy newspapers and magazines! Ten cents a copy, ten cents a copy!"
"Zhuangyuan Restaurant! All the scholars who are taking the exam today are 30% off!"
Merchants purchased goods overnight, and the guys did not take a vacation.
There are stalls on both sides of the street. Some of them are scholars dressed as scholars. They sell the notebooks of the top students. Some scholars from poor families sell their hometown specialties to subsidize the travel expenses.
This trend started a few years ago.
A few years ago, there was a scholar from the seaside who picked up some shells and conchs from his hometown. Unexpectedly, they were sold very well in Chang'an, and even sold for hundreds of coins each. Although he did not pass the imperial examination, he also cooperated with local merchants in Chang'an and made a lot of money. The myth of wealth happened every moment.
Later, this trend of taking hometown specialties to take the exam was derived.
Xu Xuan did not look for his descendants, but met Yuan Tiangang who was practicing in seclusion, came to a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.
There are advertisements of various martial arts schools around the teahouse.
"The secret Diao Yin Gong of Fang Xiandao will help you regain your glory!"
"Tired and sleepy? Just drink the Zhuyeqing of Shushan School!"
It has a unique ancient market atmosphere.
This is the country he created with his own hands, no longer the lifeless Qin government, Xu Xuan is quite satisfied with this.
In addition to ordinary people, there are also spirited warriors around.
"You did a good job." Xu Xuan said to Yuan Tiangang.
"Thanks to the Master, I just did some ordinary work." Yuan Tiangang said modestly.
This is indeed the case.
The thousand kilograms of rice brought by the Master, as well as fertile land and secret recipes for land reclamation, are the key to the prosperity of this world.
"By the way, Li Zhen has taken over Japan, has the merit of expanding territory, and his prestige has reached its peak. The matter of becoming an emperor..."
"Let him be called, but the emperor and the Great Master cannot serve at the same time. The Great Master is the Pope and the emperor is the emperor of men. The two restrain each other and cannot be united."
Xu Xuan stays in this world for an uncertain time, but sometimes he retreats for decades or hundreds of years, and when he wakes up, he doesn't even have a home.
The Great Master still has too much power. He is both the leader of the martial arts world and the emperor. It would be bad if he ran into a crazy person who did something wrong and affected his collection of internal energy.
Celestial warriors can hurt the foundation. If I retreat for a long time and can't wake up, some great immortal will go crazy and mobilize the whole country to find me and break the formation at all costs. Isn't it a bad luck?
Although the probability is very low, Xu Xuan is cautious. Whether it is one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand, he still has to be on guard.
Separate the power of the two and weaken each other. The great immortal only has influence in the martial arts world, and the emperor is just a secular manager.
As for this system, even if the rituals and music collapse hundreds of years later, whether the immortal kills the emperor or the emperor kills the immortal, it is the upper class's business and does not affect the lower class.
The affairs of the martial arts world have also become a matter within a circle in the past few decades. The existence of the list makes it easier for the sects to flourish. The martial arts sects no longer think about training soldiers and accumulating strength all day long, and support the new hero to glorify the family.
The complex disputes in the martial arts world also make the warriors pursue stronger power, and people's internal strength level will increase accordingly, which is beneficial to Xu Xuan.
"Dear readers, dear heroes, the latest list of Bai Xiao Pavilion is out!"
At this time, the gavel was slammed on the stage in the center of the hall, and the storyteller's voice was loud.
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted.
"For those who don't know yet, Bai Xiao Tang is an organization led by Taoism, combining post stations, intelligence agencies, and local restaurants and outposts. It does not participate in Jianghu disputes, but only records Jianghu anecdotes."
"The first place on the Tianxia Fengyun list is still the former Great Immortal Yuan Tiangang, and the second place is the Great Immortal Li Zhen...but the tenth place has become the master of the Tiandao Song family."
"The first place on the Qianlong list is Li He, the second place is Wu Mingkong Fairy... A few days ago, the 35th Laojun Temple senior brother challenged the ninth place Tiandao Song family disciple Song Wen successfully, and the ninth place became Laojun Temple Lu Jing..."
"The first place on the sect list is still Taoism, the second place is Fangxiandao, and the third place is Tianyidao..."
Taoism is a general term. All the Jianghu sects claim to be the descendants of Taoism. Even Buddhism has transformed Buddha into Taoism and acknowledged that Laozi enlightened Buddha, so there is no such sect as Taoism.
"The first place on the bounty list is an evil scholar who killed 165 people and robbed the government treasury. The bounty is 170,000 taels, and the clue is 300 taels..."
All lists are ranked up to 100.
As long as you are in the top 100, you will be famous all over the world. Usually, the bottom 10 will change very frequently.
The heroes in the Jianghu were talking about gossip, and some were full of ambitions and wanted to challenge someone at the bottom, maybe they would have a chance to become famous.
Once you are on the list, even if you are only in the top 100, let alone other income, just opening a martial arts school and teaching some physical training methods can make you worry-free.
"Li He is Li Zhen's son? Wu Mingkong is the daughter of Wu Shixin?"
"That's right!"
The two listened quietly, and Xu Xuan said: "You start to break the void and prepare to catch the turtle in the jar."
