Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 217 The Fifth Realm: Meng Poting

Not long ago, when Chu Fengge found out that Gu Xu had been promoted to a third-level cultivator in just a few months, he was strongly stimulated mentally.

He couldn't imagine that in this world, there were people who could be promoted faster than himself, and so many times faster.

This made Chu Fengge feel a strong sense of panic.

He was afraid that after a while, Gu Xu would surpass himself in cultivation.

By that time, he will forever lose the title of "Da Qi's No. [-] Arrogant"—although this title is currently his own.

So, he proposed to Head Luo that he would retreat in the retreat room for a period of time.

If you don't break through the fifth realm, you will never leave the level.

Chief Luo agreed to his request.

However, when Chu Fengge was about to enter the retreat room, Luo Sishou told him earnestly: "It is admirable that you have the ambition to become the number one in the world. But sometimes, you also need to calm down. Don't let obsession become your demon."

"Master Chief, do you have no confidence in me?" Chu Fengge hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"No," Luo Sishou shook his head, "Your talent for cultivation is excellent, and you can definitely rank among the top three among all the juniors I have met.

"It's just that you don't need to regard Gu Xu as your opponent. People like him cannot be treated with common sense after all."

Hearing this, Chu Fengge was silent for a long time.

Luo Sishou's words did not succeed in making him let go of his obsession, but instead aroused his strong desire to compete.

Chu Fengge thought to himself: It's actually not interesting to compare with ordinary people all day long.But that guy Gu Xu is a genius recognized by even the chief executive—if I can defeat him, wouldn't even the chief executive look at me with admiration?

So, with such thoughts in mind, Chu Fengge locked himself in the retreat room for more than ten days.

He was originally a monk at the peak of the fourth realm.

It's just that his cultivation has stagnated for several months at this stage, and he has yet to find an opportunity to break through.

until today.

Stimulated by Gu Xu's evildoer, Chu Fengge suddenly found a way forward on the dark and gloomy road, crossed the obstacle in one fell swoop, and became a strong man in the fifth realm.

As we all know, once a monk breaks through the fifth realm, the power of the soul can be greatly strengthened, and the soul can be separated from the body in a short time.

Even, even after the death of the physical body, the soul can still survive for a short time, and can be reborn by seizing the body-of course, the objects of seizing the body can only be monks with lower realms, and there is also the possibility of failure.

Chu Fengge has always had a flamboyant personality and likes to show off.

So as soon as he broke through this morning, before his body left the retreat room, his soul had already left his body, flying around the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, looking down at the busy officials from a high position, as if he was Jiutian above the gods.

He first saw Shangguan Jin in the corner of the yard, wearing a linen blouse, practicing sword hard.

Seeing that this deadly enemy was still only a fourth-level monk, Chu Fengge only felt happy, and his soul did a few somersaults in the air, letting out a "hahaha" laugh.

He thought: This girl is clearly inferior to me in aptitude, but she plays all kinds of tricks in front of me every day, using insidious tricks to oppose me!Hehe, now I am a whole lot higher than her...I want her to understand that the gap in absolute strength cannot be made up by relying on tricks alone!
Afterwards, Chu Fengge floated to the side of the "Qingxiang Pavilion", and through the window, he saw Gu Xu who was sitting cross-legged on a mat, practicing silently, and struggling to climb the "Sixiang Ridge".

His mood is more carefree.

"Gu Xu, Gu Xu, your current cultivation level is two full realms lower than mine," he said happily in his heart, and his spirit soared to the sky, "Even if your talent is really stronger than mine, if you want to catch up with me, It will take at least a few years, right? By then, I will have left you far behind."

Ordinary monks couldn't see his spirit, so naturally they couldn't see his rampant appearance at this time.

However, Luo Chuan, the chief executive who was sitting on the observatory with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head.

"This guy...how can he be a little more mature?" Luo Chuan sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Oh, I still have to sharpen it...don't ruin us because of his temper in the future. great cause."

…………

Chu Fengge's soul finally returned to his body after arrogance over the Yamen for a full quarter of an hour.

Afterwards, he stood up from the futon, stretched his waist, kicked open the door of the retreat room with a "bang", and came straight to the courtyard of the yamen.

He jumped up onto a high rockery, then put his hands behind his back, faced the crowd, and chanted loudly:
"Yesterday I was in the four realms, and everyone laughed at me. Now that I have broken through the five realms, who can be the enemy?"

Hearing Chu Fengge's voice, the officials in the yamen stopped their work and turned to look at him.

Since it was not the first time that Chu Fengge made such unrestrained behavior, everyone was not too surprised.

It's just that the standard of his "poem" today has dropped a lot compared to before. It sounds like a childish work, which is simply unflattering.

Of course, Chu Fengge, as the head of the department and a newly promoted fifth-level powerhouse, no one dared to comment on his poems.

They all only dared to hold back their laughter, and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Lord Chu, for leaving the customs!"

Occasionally, a few people praised against their will: "Good poetry! Good poetry! Master Chu's literary talent is really extraordinary!"

Only Shangguan Jin couldn't help laughing.

She knew that Chu Fengge's previous poem titles were all written for him by his subordinates—although they were not very brilliant, they were not as good as the poems written by well-known talents in Luojing, let alone the master of "Jinghong Pen" Gu Xu's works are astounding, but they can be regarded as quite satisfactory, and they will not make Chu Fengge ashamed and conspicuous in front of the public.

However, because Chu Fengge was too excited today, as soon as he came out of the customs, he "spoken", which directly exposed his poor poetry writing skills.

Shangguan Jin shook his head, only felt that reciting poems and composing lyrics would become more and more addictive, and half-baked people love to be ostentatious.

On the other hand, for a real talent like Gu Xu, if he doesn't make a move, he can shock the audience.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Jin went straight forward, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Chu Fengge: "Master Chu, you should not forget that according to the original agreement, today we are going to the 'Wengu Pot' to participate in actual combat training Bar!"

"Of course I remember," Chu Fengge jumped down from the rockery, landed firmly in front of her, raised his chin high and said, "Today in the 'Warming Pot', you don't need to do anything, just applaud for me That's fine. As a fifth-level powerhouse, I can kill all the ghosts inside by myself."

Shangguan Jin was noncommittal.

She is very clear that the test in the "Warming Pot" cannot be passed by force alone.In many cases, you need to use your brain more, otherwise you will fall into the trap and be unable to escape for a long time.

Just like the "Taoyuan Town" that Gu Xu and Ma Qin entered in the promotion assessment a few months ago - if Gu Xu didn't find out in time that everything in the town was a nightmare created by "Nightmare Eaters", they would Trapped forever in an infinite loop, facing ghosts that can never be killed.

But Chu Fengge, even though he has stumbled countless times, he has never learned to use his brain.

"Then I'll wait and see!" Shangguan Jin said with a smile, "By the way, according to the instructions of the chief, Xu will also enter the 'Warming Pot' with us to participate in actual combat training."

"Gu Xu?" Chu Fengge frowned slightly, "I admit that he is the fastest person I have ever seen in cultivation. But no matter how talented he is and how many unexpected methods he has, he is only a third-level cultivator after all. .He entered the 'Warming Pot' with us, what else can he do besides being beaten?"

Chu Fengge said such words purely because of his stubbornness.

On the one hand, he didn't want to admit that Gu Xu was strong in front of everyone, and on the other hand, he habitually wanted to bicker with Shangguan Jin.

But in fact, when he and Gu Xu experienced the case of Lu's murderous house together, when he lost to Gu Xu in the duel of "On the Realm of Dao", when he saw the attitude of the chief executive towards Gu Xu After that, deep in his heart, he was very afraid of Gu Xu.

"The chief executive's mind has always been unfathomable." Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin shrugged his shoulders. "He made such an instruction, which naturally proves that Gu Xu can play a role in today's trial. It's just that you and I are superficial." It’s just that I can’t fathom my knowledge for the time being.”

At this time, Gu Xu also finished his all-night practice, left the "Qingxiang Pavilion", walked through the crowd, and came to the courtyard, just in time to see Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin standing beside the rockery.

He greeted Shangguan Jin first.

Then he looked at Chu Fengge, with a polite smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chu, for breaking through the fifth realm!"

In fact, when Gu Xu was cultivating in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" just now, with his spiritual perception ability far surpassing that of monks in the same realm, he had already noticed that someone was peeping out of the window in the form of a spirit.

Obviously voyeurism.

But that divine soul didn't know how to hide himself at all, instead he was arrogant, jumping up and down, and didn't forget to taunt a few loudly.

Gu Xu recognized that it was Chu Fengge without any effort.

He smiled, and secretly complained about "fool" in his heart, ignoring him.

…………

At this moment, Chu Fengge also squinted his eyes and glanced at Gu Xu, pretending to be calm and said: "Gu experience also broke through the third realm? Not bad, not bad."

Shangguan Jin patted Chu Fengge's shoulder: "Now it's time to call him Master Gu, or Lord Gu."

Chu Fengge remained silent.

Although he had already learned from the head of the department that after the disaster in Qingzhou Mansion, there was a high probability that Gu Xu would be promoted exceptionally, and he might also be granted a title.

But when this matter was implemented, Chu Fengge still couldn't help feeling a little jealous—he himself had worked for the Exorcist Division for so many years, hacking and killing countless demons and goblins, but why didn't he still have a title?
Shangguan Jin laughed lightly, and continued, "Also, Master Chu, when you were in retreat in the retreat room, you missed another big event."

"What's the matter?" Chu Fengge asked impatiently.An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Our boss, defeated powerful enemies from Longmen Academy and Lingshan Temple in the Lantern Festival night competition, and won the leader." Shangguan Jin looked at Chu Fengge with meaningful eyes, "He won the championship in the entire Luojing City." In front of the common people, we won glory for our exorcism department. Master Chu, do you think this is a big event worth celebrating?"

Chu Fengge's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

He suddenly began to regret very much, why did he choose to practice in seclusion in the first place, which caused him to miss the much-anticipated Lantern Festival competition.

If he had been there back then, it wouldn't have been Gu Xu's turn to show off in the public.

Seeing the change in Chu Fengge's expression, Shangguan Jin smiled, and continued to make up the knife: "That night, when Mr. Gu was using the 'Jinghong Brush' to create a new spell, he wrote a poem describing the scene of the Lantern Festival on the spot. His "Sapphire Case" made countless literati in Luojing City full of praise, and even the number one scholar and the second place in the recent imperial examinations were not as good as they were.

"Master Chu, think about it, a monk who is responsible for slaying demons and demons can beat those scholars who write poems and lyrics all day long - isn't this a great thing for our exorcist department?" A very honorable thing?"

Chu Fengge didn't speak, but his hands clenched into fists unknowingly.

Shangguan Jin's smile became even more cheerful.

She turned her head to look at an ordinary official not far away, and asked, "Xiao Wu, do you still remember the content of the song "Sapphire Case" by Mr. Gu?"

The little official called "Xiao Wu" immediately took a step forward, saluted her respectfully, and replied: "I tell you, the content of the "Sapphire Case" is 'Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and blows them down. , the stars are like rain...'"

"Stop it, stop it!" Chu Fengge frowned and interrupted him sharply.

Although he has no literary talent and can't write poems, he still has a little bit of appreciation. He knows that Gu Xu's "Sapphire Case" is a heaven compared to his doggerel "Yesterday I am in four realms". an underground.

Shangguan Jin ordered people to recite Gu Xu's works in front of him in public, simply because he wanted to make him look ugly in front of everyone.

This woman is really bad!

And that bastard Gu Xu, why can he have both unprecedented cultivation qualifications and literary talents?

He can't be God's own son, can he?
Chu Fengge took a deep breath and tried his best to keep calm.

The good mood brought to him by breaking through the realm today has long since disappeared without a trace, completely replaced by envy, jealousy and hatred.

Shangguan Jin smiled, stretched out her slender fingers, and brushed a strand of hair behind her ears.

She and Chu Fengge worked together under Luo Sishou's command, and they had been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

At this moment, even though she was a little behind in the cultivation realm, she was able to suppress Chu Fengge in terms of momentum - this undoubtedly made her feel at ease.

Among Ziwei auxiliary stars, although Tiankui ranks ahead of Tianyue.

But Shangguan Jin firmly believes that as long as he is diligent and smart enough, he will surely catch up one day.

At this moment, Gu Xu saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so he cleared his throat, and politely said to Chu Fengge: "Master Chu, may I ask you a question?

"As far as I know, to advance to the fourth level 'Wangxiangtai', you need to 'find the mortal heart' and 'return to the mortal world'; to advance to the fifth level 'Meng Poting', you need to 'get rid of the fetters' and 'slough off the lead'.

"May I ask if you used the method of 'severing the seven emotions' when breaking through the realm? If so, the emotions you cut off are 'joy', 'anger', 'sorrow', 'fear',' Which one of love', 'evil', or 'lust'?"

"It's 'desire'." Chu Fengge replied without thinking.
