Chapter 406: The Red Lotus of Life and Death's Cultivation Level Rises Rapidly
Chapter 398: The Red Lotus of Life and Death's Cultivation Level Rises Rapidly

[Peng Hua] These words touched the hearts of everyone present.

This extremely intense war lasted for three years.

Every participant, regardless of winning or losing, is exhausted both physically and mentally and is close to their limit.

Whether it is fighting in all directions or continuously overthrowing multiple [pillars] of the [Yuanchu] overhaul.

As a Jinchūriki, he carries the magic power of [Jackdaw] and [Hachi] and fights against Myorin and Myoji who are above their level.

Some of them have even broken through the heavenly barrier and become the heir of the sixth-level Taoist ancestor.

They all urgently need a thorough retreat to consolidate their own cultivation.

Moreover, in this earth-shattering battle, the [Shenxiao Temple System], with a force of just over a hundred people, almost completely harvested all the resources of the two fourth-order large [Temple Systems].

The horrific harvest has already exceeded everyone's ability to absorb.

This massive amount of resources also requires a lot of time to digest and absorb as quickly as possible so that they can be transferred into each person's cultivation magic power.

[Peng Hua] was a most experienced warmongerer and had personally destroyed more than a thousand [temple systems].

He has already mastered the control of the rhythm of war to perfection.

He naturally had a plan in mind as to when to fight and when to rest in order to achieve the best effect of fighting to support fighting.

Therefore, at this most critical moment, he stepped on the brakes.

This is to prevent everyone from being too tense and causing unnecessary casualties.

After making this crucial decision, Peng Hua raised his hand and took a few things from the battlefield littered with corpses. He then turned to Miao Chi and Miao Lin and said:

"You two have made outstanding contributions in this battle. Here are four fifth-level [Door] corpses, which are most suitable for your cultivation."

"You can digest these corpses carefully, which should greatly improve your cultivation."

"If the two of you make progress in your cultivation, you can also participate in the foreign war three hundred years later!"

[Peng Hua] These words attracted the two newly promoted immortals from Shenxiao to become fascinated!

Especially the head master Miaolin who has been trapped in the realm for nearly a thousand years.

She has always been fond of martial arts and loves fighting. Since the day she entered the Tao, she has been challenging others everywhere.

He left his own records in various competitive racing occasions in that [Fantasy World].

After she was promoted to the fourth level, she had been staying in the realm and had no opponents anymore.

The war in the void has been long awaited!
The same was true for Miao Chi. He entered Taoism with the sword and practiced the "Secret Record of Killing Ghosts, Refining Demons, Slaying Monsters, Punishing Buddhas, and Forging Treasures to Achieve Taoism".

The golden magical power of the [Big Dipper Sword Formation] that he relied on to achieve enlightenment required seven magical flying swords to unleash their maximum power.

The pressure he felt while refining the sword was also quite great.

Even though he was close to the realm of [Seeking Fruit], in reality, he had only refined five flying swords of the immortal spiritual treasure level.

In order to refine these five magical flying swords, he had already slaughtered all the sea monsters in the Yuxiao Realm.

Killing has long been deeply rooted in his instinct.

If there are more opportunities to kill, I will not miss them!

The two of them happily collected the corpse of the [Door] and prepared to go back to seclude themselves to digest it.

[Peng Hua] turned to the newly born [Jie Zu] and said:
"Chuanzong, please collect all the remaining corpse resources."

"Especially the remains of the [Ten Vajra Heavenly Buddhas]."

"These resources are enough for you to make up for the lack of mana in your recent promotion."

"With these foundations, you should be able to smoothly withstand the first wave of the Hedao disaster."

[Chuanzong] also followed suit, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the resources on the battlefield into his own [Shenxiao Stele Forest].

At this moment, the battlefield has been cleaned up, leaving only the corpse of a real dragon at the position of "pillar" in the hand of [Peng Hua].

At this moment, a beam of water-colored light flew straight from the [Yuxiao Realm] and landed beside several people from the Shenxiao Palace.

The figure revealed was the True Lord [Yujing] of the Penglai Sect.

Yu Jing bowed to the two sixth-rank masters and said:
"Thunder Ancestor, Tribulation Ancestor, congratulations to the Divine Sky Palace for slaying the invading enemy, and congratulations to Tribulation Ancestor for finally achieving the Great Dao!"

"The safety of [Yuxiao Realm] depends entirely on the protection of the two ancestors!"

Before he could finish, Peng Hua threw the dragon corpse of Pillar in his hand to Yu Jing.

Then he said:
"[Yujing], there are two Buddha statues in [Lingshan] this time."

"Go back and explain to your ancestor that my Divine Sky Palace supports him in his fight!"

"In addition, your duty of guarding the [Yuxiao Realm] will be replaced by [Chuanzong]."

"It's all up to Thunder Ancestor!"

Using a sixth-rank Dao Ancestor to guard the realm is definitely against the rules of the Yuxiao Realm.

After the other party did this, who would dare to fight with Shenxiao Palace in the future?

After ten thousand years, I wonder how powerful the Shenxiao Palace will become!
[Yu Jing] Although he knew that there was something irrational about this, he remained silent.

Anyway, his Penglai Sect has already gained enough benefits, and his sect has always had a good relationship with the Shenxiao Palace, so there is no need to get entangled in such a small matter.

[Yu Jing] said some polite words and then said goodbye.

The other sects in [Yuxiao Realm] did not have fifth-level beings guarding them, and there were only a bunch of fourth-level real people left. They were not qualified to pay respects to the Taoist Ancestor, and no one came to talk to them.

[Peng Hua] finished taking care of other matters before turning around and conversing with [Yuan Chu]:
"Yuanchu, you have made the greatest contribution to the success of this battle with the Lingshan Temple!"

"It is a blessing of luck that my Shenxiao Palace can produce a disciple like you."

"This twelve-grade [Red Lotus of Life and Death] is what was left behind by the [Great Peng Red Lotus Venerable Buddha] after his transformation into Taoism."

"It is one of the most valuable gains of our sect in this [Temple System] dispute."

"This treasure is compatible with your attributes. If you refine it properly, it can ensure that you can directly enter the [Pillar] position."

"Consider it as a reward for you!"

"Three hundred years later, when the war breaks out again, Chuan Zong and I will be on guard against the opponent's sixth-level integration."

"You are still needed to resist the opponent's [Pillar] monk!"

"By then, you will still be the backbone of my Shenxiao Palace!"

[Yuanchu] leaned over to thank the master for his praise, and took the [Red Lotus of Life and Death].

This sixth-rank [Relic of Taoism] is considered the most top-level treasure in the void. Since the opening of the void, only a few pieces have been produced!
He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He felt that this treasure was like the spiritual root of a living thing, and it was filled with the profound true meaning of the innate [Yi Mu] avenue.

No matter where this red lotus is planted, it can take root and evolve into a huge [Yi Mu] Dharma meaning.

And therein lies the extremely profound truth of the Great Dao of [Life and Death, Rise and Fall], which is a calamity that is enough to curse and kill the Buddha.

Holding [Yuanchu] in his hand, he felt his [Empty Demon Body] was ready to move, and was about to swallow this [Red Lotus of Life and Death] in one gulp to fill the foundation of his cultivation.

He also gladly accepted the gift from his ancestor.

As for the evaluation of the ancestor [Peng Hua], he also believed that he was worthy of it!
He will make good use of these three hundred years to digest all the accumulation this time.

He will surely be able to achieve a huge improvement in his cultivation and combat power again.

He has even more confidence in future battles.

[Peng Hua] was quite pleased to see that [Yuan Chu] easily collected the [Red Lotus of Life and Death].

Even collecting and preserving it is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do, let alone absorbing this [Legacy of Taoism].

He spoke again:
"If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can come to Feilai Peak to find me and go and cultivate on your own!"

After saying that, [Peng Hua] dragged [Chuan Zong] and flew directly into the [Yuxiao Realm].

The two Dao ancestors entered the world, causing the ground membrane of the [Yuxiao Realm] to tremble wildly and almost collapse.

If the two Dao Ancestors had not taken the initiative to appease them, and if the two Dao Ancestors had not been, both of them were from the [Yuxiao Realm] and had their names on the [Heavenly Book and Earthly Book List].

This [Yuxiao Realm] is probably about to collapse.

The two Dao Ancestors stationed in the Shenxiao Palace have also raised the strength of this realm to an unprecedented level!

Just by staying within the realm, the two of them can bring together luck, enhance primordial energy, and expand the meaning of the Great Dao.

This is a great thing for all living beings in the entire realm!

The entire [Yuxiao Realm] is basically populated by people from the [Fantasy Realm], so [Yuanchu] can naturally benefit greatly from it.

At the moment, there are only three people left on the ground film: Yuanchu, Miaolin and Miaochi.

To be honest, the two people in front of him are also the two closest fellow disciples of Yuanchu in Shenxiao Palace. In terms of affection, they are no less than his master Li Changle.

It has been a long time since we last met. Yuanchu is very pleased to see with his own eyes that both of his close nephews and nephews have entered immortality and that they will have a long time to study the great Dao together!
He just opened his mouth and said:
"Miaolin, why are you still hanging around in this realm?"

"You are too obsessed with power and are unwilling to give up the position of headmaster?"

"Or are you still too guilty to venture into the void?"

[Yuanchu] couldn't help but make a teasing remark, and since he knew Miaolin's situation well enough, every word he said was heartbreaking.

The old master of Shenxiao was defeated and immediately started to explain:

"Uncle Master, please don't blame me. I have already accumulated enough cultivation. I want to leave the world as soon as possible more than anyone else."

"However, among the Miao generation, only Junior Brother Miaochi and I finally achieved enlightenment, but we don't have any suitable disciples who can take over the position of headmaster."

"It caused me to be trapped in the realm. It's even worse than Master Shangxi!"

"This matter is all thanks to Junior Brother Miaochi. Although the disciples I accepted are not very reliable, they like to be internet celebrities and do live broadcasts more than practicing Taoism."

"But Junior Brother Miaochi hasn't even accepted a single disciple until now, and he's still not as good as me!"

"The same is true for my two uncles Yuan Fang and Yuan Zhen."

"Ever since I awakened my spiritual consciousness and recovered my memory, I have only been focusing on my own path and no longer caring about the sect's affairs."

"Almost every one of them is reliable!" After hearing the criticism from her senior sister, Miao Chi touched her nose in embarrassment.

I am indeed a little too selfish. I have been practicing for half my life, but I haven't even trained a disciple. I deserve to be criticized!
He opened his mouth and answered:
"Master, this matter is indeed my fault. Over the years, I have spent too much energy practicing the Secret Record of Killing Ghosts, Refining Demons, Slaying Devils, and Forging Treasures to Become a Daoist. Until now, I have not been able to refine the seven life-inheriting instruments to the fourth level."

"Therefore, it is also a waste of contribution to the sect's inheritance, which is really wrong."

[Yuanchu] didn't care about it. The ethos of the Shenxiao Palace has always been like this, and it has its own unique way of inheritance.

The arrangement for accepting new disciples was also quite casual.

Whether he was accepted into the sect by Li Changle or he lured Miao Chi into the sect, it was not driven by subjective factors.

However, since they were talking about this matter, he might as well take care of it.

I saw that his mind was sensing and connecting to the origin of the [Fantasy World].

He gave an order to the origin of the [Fantasy World] which had been promoted to the level of a cave heaven.

Soon, a stream of information and Dharma intent gushed out from it.

[Yuanchu] took it in his hand, examined it, and then spoke again:
"These are the twelve most talented and most fortunate newcomers among the children of the right age in my [Yuxiao Realm]."

"Miaolin, please make some arrangements and find some suitable disciples to bring these children back."

"Miao Chi, you should also accept some disciples, so that our lineage will not be cut off."

"As ordered!"

The two masters received the decree and checked the information therein respectively.

It was discovered that these twelve people were scattered all over the [Yuxiao Realm], all of them were under the age of fifteen, and were perfect for abducting and raising.

Are you kidding? There is no obligation to keep secrets in this world of cultivation.

At this time, the [Fantasy World] already had a massive amount of data accumulated, and possessed all kinds of information about the hundreds of billions of people in the [Yuxiao World].

With the help of big data, it is easy to find a few suitable disciples!

Then, Yuanchu said:
"These three hundred years of preparation time are both long and short. You two need to make good use of it."

"It just so happens that both Dao Ancestors are here. You two should take advantage of the time to ask all the questions you need to ask while you are accepting disciples, and then go to the void as soon as possible."

"This experience of walking in the void is what you two lack the most, so this is a good opportunity to make up for it."

The two real people deeply agree with this!

Miaolin then asked:
"Uncle Master, you have extensive experience in activities in the void, can you recommend a place to go?"

"We have only had about 200 years of experience. If we act on our own, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain anything."

[Yuanchu] thought about it carefully, in addition to the reasons mentioned by Miaolin.

The Shenxiao Palace is currently in the midst of a foreign war.

The other real people have already gathered together, and their safety is guaranteed.

If we let Miaolin and Miaochi go and continue to wander around in the void as before, there is still a high possibility that they will be plotted against by other great cultivators.

Then he spoke again:

"Miaolin, after you step down as the headmaster, you can go to the [Demon God Palace] for a visit."

"【Wubing】 has already taken root there and has quite a bit of influence."

"When you go there, you will have someone to take care of you, and you will also have no shortage of combat experience. This should be the most suitable place to go."

After that, [Yuanchu] passed the information in [Demon God Palace] to Miaolin, and then said to Miaochi:

"Miao Chi, go to the Dream Devouring Snake Cave and look for the Green Dragon."

"In that snake cave, there are countless demon snakes. It is a treasure land for killing. When you go there, your practice of the Secret Record of Killing Ghosts, Refining Monsters, Slaying Demons, Punishing Buddhas, and Forging Treasures to Become a Taoist will be greatly improved."

"Here is a sword-refining method that I compiled myself. You can take it. It may be of some use."

After that, [Yuanchu] passed on another classic to Miaochi.

Miao Chi possesses the [Sword Seed] and has devoted all his life's practice to the sword, making him a much purer swordsman than [Yuan Chu].

He was obsessed with sword-making and had a particular preference for swordsmanship. He had already thoroughly studied the inheritance in the Shenxiao Palace.

He took over this "A Brief Record of Sword-breaking in the Early Yuan Dynasty" (first draft) and could not help but immerse himself in it.

It didn't matter that he took a look at it, he almost became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself!

Master, you are too modest!
But where is Xiaolu?
It is simply an all-encompassing top-level sword-making secret book!

This "A Small Record of Sword Skills at the Beginning of the Yuan Dynasty" contains one hundred and seventy-seven secret inheritances for refining fifth-order spiritual flying swords.

Each one is a top-notch product, making Miaochi unable to stop looking!
There were many secret sword-making methods among them, which were of great help to him, enough for him to calm his mind and refine his life-long weapon.

What’s more important is that at the end of this small record, there is a magical secret technique called “Sword Eye Spirit Pool”, which can be said to be a perfect match for sword cultivators!
It can be used to refine swords and weapons, and increase magic power, which has made him determined to succeed.

Miao Chi couldn't help but bow deeply to his master to express his gratitude.

Although I haven't been with my master for a long time, every time I see him, he can provide me with great help on my path!

He is indeed my most important guide in spiritual practice!

After doing all this, [Yuanchu] said goodbye to his two disciples.

Three hundred years is neither long nor short for him!
Moreover, there are variables that may occur at any time.

He has several key spiritual practices to complete, and he cannot waste any time!
I saw that his [One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones] Avenue relied on one movement and once again split into three, each rushing towards its own destination.

Among them, that [Tai Shi body] went straight into the [Yuxiao Realm]. After a long time, he stepped onto Feilai Peak again and entered the Patriarch Hall.

The two Taoist ancestors are practicing here, so it is a good opportunity for him to come and ask for advice.

After thousands of years of practice, although Yuanchu was brave and diligent, he still accumulated many difficulties in practice.

He just took this opportunity to ask Daozu for an explanation.

The [Killing Sword Body] turned around and came into the flying [Da You Qing Feng Boat].

A group of Shenxiao bandits were ready to fight and were heading towards [White Lotus Paradise]. When they saw [Yuanchu], they had a lot of questions in their mind and asked him all at once!
Ninety percent of these questions were about the situation in [Chuanzong] and [Yuxiaojie], and ten percent were about the direction of this war.

All the real people in this [Dayou Qingfeng Boat], without the connection of the [temple system]'s luck, are almost completely in the dark about the situation in the outside world.

Therefore, after finally waiting for [Yuanchu] to come, he asked him directly.

[Yuanchu] was quite patient and told many of his fellow disciples about the whole story of [Chuanzong]'s promotion, [Penghua]'s return to the world, and the killing of the giant Buddha in the battle, which had accumulated over three hundred years.

For a moment, everyone kept silent and digested the information.

At this time, the leader Shang Yuan spoke again:

"You have made great contributions this time [Yuanchu], and you can be called the pillar of my Shenxiao Palace!"

"Just rest assured and practice. We will arrange these three hundred years for you to wait for Daozu to call you!"

[Yuanchu] nodded. He had the most confidence in the senior masters on his ship!

At present, the sixth-level Hedao cultivator was intimidated by the calamity posed by the founder of the [Chuanzong] sect and did not dare to act rashly.

It is unlikely that any of the remaining fifth-level cultivators can threaten these old Yin cultivators who are both powerful and fast.

[Sha Jian Shen] said hello and went somewhere else.

His back and forth made Fengjian, who was standing next to him, so envious that his mouth was crooked.

Even though he was the best in the art of escape, he could never catch up with the flash of Yuanchu.

After [Yuanchu] left, Mingxia asked Shangyuan:
"Brother, what is our rule?"

"We won't be trapped in this ship for three hundred years, will we?"

Shang Yuan said:

"Kazama, reverse direction, let's go back to [Shanhaitian]!"

"The Great Peng Red Lotus Venerable King Buddha has already become a Taoist, and the guarding Pillars in the Mountains, Seas and Sky have all been destroyed."

"We left too fast last time. There are still a lot of magical resources left in that realm."

"For the past three hundred years, we have stayed here, practicing and settling down, mining [Shan Hai Tian], and waiting for the opportunity to come. We will kill all the invading Buddhist cultivators!"

Shangyuan's arrangement was quite to everyone's liking. Fengjian's ship lowered its head and flew directly to [Shanhaitian].

As for the [Empty Demon Body] among the three bodies, it simply flew away into the [Metaverse] and returned to its retreat place.

[The Void Demon Body] brought the [Red Lotus of Life and Death] in front of himself and sensed it carefully.

Although he gained countless things from this battle, it could push all aspects of his practice to a new peak.

But for [Yuanchu], the most valuable thing, the one that can best improve his cultivation, is still this [Relic of Taoism].

This red lotus seemed to be born as one with him, and his [Empty Demon Body] could no longer hold back and wanted to devour it!

He summoned out his [Karma Fire Demon Lotus] and placed it in front of him.

He evolved this [Karma Fire Demon Lotus] to the ninth level of [Great Dao Possession].

Compared with this twelfth-grade red lotus, there is still a considerable gap.

Without any hesitation, he planted his [Karma Fire Demon Lotus] on the [Red Lotus of Life and Death].

[Yuanchu] is extremely concerned about the purity and control of his own practice.

All external magical powers are only fit to become the raw materials for his magical powers to nourish himself.

Even though this precious [Relic of Taoism] would waste a great deal of mana and the true meaning of the Tao if he used the [Karma Fire Demon Lotus] to absorb it in disguise, he would not hesitate to do so!

Just like that, [Empty Demon Body] began a practice that was extremely crucial for him.

The [Karma Fire Demon Lotus] combines the two paths of Buddhism and demoniac, and is also the foundation of his practice.

At this moment, relying on absorbing this terrifying red lotus, his aura also surged!

[Yuan Chu]'s cultivation level increased rapidly during this process!
