Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 835 Risks and Opportunities

"It's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity."

Ling Duanlaodao looked at Lu Zhong and the others with a bright light in his eyes, "As far as I know, before the storm of resentful souls comes, the output of treasures in the Ten Thousand Spirits Court will increase by an astonishing rate."

"Then you have to take it with your life."

Yao Er has a different view on this.

When the storm of resentful souls comes, all kinds of secrets and weirdness will come out. At that time, the danger level of Ten Thousand Spirits Court will increase sharply. The result of a little carelessness will be to stay there forever.

"On this point, if the old Taoist had no support, how could he suggest this?" Ling Duan Laodao stroked his beard and smiled, a black light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and a luminous human figure was vaguely visible inside.

"This thing is a Dao Puppet. I have spent tens of thousands of years of time and energy refining this thing. Fortunately, all the efforts are worth it. As long as I have it, at the critical moment when the resentful soul storm approaches, , Dao Puppet can help me wait for a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour is enough for us to get a return commensurate with the risk."

After saying that, the old Taoist handed over the Taoist puppet and let a few people check the authenticity.

When Lu Zhong heard this, he explored the Dao Puppet and found that there was indeed a force inside, which seemed to be related to the law of cause and effect. He did not rule out the possibility of being able to withstand the storm of resentful souls.

"Since you have ordered fellow Taoist Duan to hold this treasure, why don't you act alone?"

"Yes, why don't you act alone?" Yao Yi Yao Er also asked.

"You guys don't know. It's really difficult to activate this puppet. Please look here." Ling Duanlaodao showed a bitter look on his face, and immediately showed everyone how to activate the puppet. Waves of green and red light overflowed from his hand. The Dao Puppet came to life in an instant, transforming into a beautiful woman in a few seconds, suspended in mid-air and raising its arms upwards.

Immediately, an illusory ring appeared.

"Daohuan!"

Yao 1 and Yao 2 exclaimed in unison.

Lu Zhong looked calm, but actually he was a little surprised.

He could see that although this illusory ring was not a Taoist ring, it had something to do with it, and he could not rule out the possibility of being mixed with some aura.

"Does this give you the ability to resist the storm of wronged souls?"

Looking at the spherical mask opened by the Dao Puppet, forcibly forcing out a blank space, Lu Zhong thought thoughtfully, "What would be the effect if it were a complete Dao ring?"

On the other side, after seeing the ability of the puppet, Yao Yi Yao Er also made a rough guess about the identity of Ling Duan Lao Dao.

However, the two of them had no intention of taking action.

The appearance of Dao Puppet gave them the possibility of finding Jianmu.

Secondly, I am not very sure. After all, the monks of the Cause and Effect Dao are almost on par with the Changchun Dao in terms of life-saving means, and they are in the middle.

Furthermore, there is a third party present.

The same idea also appeared in Ling Duan Laodao's mind.

Lu Zhong could more or less guess the thoughts of the three people, but just like them, he did not take any action and tacitly maintained this rare balance.

"So, the maintenance of Dao Puppet consumes too much spiritual consciousness?"

Isn't this the same as my consumption of activating the Dao Ring?

He thought to himself, becoming more and more certain of his previous guess.

"As you can see, the Dao Puppet's ability is indeed powerful, but the cost of activating it is not small. Even if the old Taoist tries his best, he can't hold on for long." When Ling Duan spoke, the old Taoist stopped activating the Dao Puppet. The latter immediately gathered away all the light and returned to its previous appearance.

"What do you think?"

"no problem."

The two Changchun Taoists nodded.

"Just go with fellow Taoist friends for a walk."

Lu Zhong smiled slightly and did not raise any objection.

He had just made a slight estimate, and even the Dao Puppet could withstand the storm of resentful souls, so there was no reason why the Dao Ring couldn't do it, and the effect must be far greater than that of the Dao Puppet.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel calm in my heart.

Regardless of whether Ling Duan and Changchun Dao might have evil intentions in the future, having Lu Zhong with Dao Huan by their side means they have the means to escape at any time, so they can participate boldly and confidently.

Not long after, the four of them arrived in front of the light wall.

"No matter how many times I see it, this wall is always so majestic!" Ling Duanlaodao said with emotion. Looking at the wall of light that connected the sky and the earth in front of him, there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Not only him, but also Yao Yi Yao Two.

"This is natural. After all, it was the work of Heaven in the past. If it hadn't been for this person, I am afraid that the area affected by the resentful soul storm is not just here in Wanlingting, but will spread to the six realms."

"Oh? There is such a saying."

Lu Zhong sighed, accidentally hearing the secret again.

I just don’t know if it’s good or bad.

Seeing the other three people entering the light wall one after another, he inspected the Black Immortal Skeleton in his hands before taking a step forward and following in the footsteps of Lao Dao Ling Duan.

A familiar feeling came over me, and the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Blood!

The strong smell of blood!

As soon as Lu Zhong regained consciousness, such thoughts flashed through his mind immediately. Looking around, he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, ranging from monks to great demons, and even true spirits. However, it is not that countless creatures have perished here, but that the environment has changed like this due to the influence of the power of the law.

Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared one by one.

"It seems that their soul is much inferior to mine."

With such thoughts in Lu Zhong's mind, he felt the black immortal skeleton in his hand suddenly heat up, and then an unexpected scene happened. It turned into fly ash instantly, and at the same time, a black light rushed out from it.

What a powerful resentful spirit!

Without hesitation, three sword shadows shot out from his sleeves.

With a clang, Wu Guang was intercepted by the sword shadow and finally revealed his figure.

It was a faceless man with bloody hair and bloody clothes, and his body was red to black. His body was twisted into a weird angle, as if he had been crumpled into a ball and then torn apart.

At this moment, his head was drooped at his waist, facing Lu Zhong's direction.

Almost instantly, he felt that his mana was being consumed rapidly.

It wasn't until Lu Zhong covered his whole body with the power of time and space, covering himself with a layer of law power coating, that this abnormal state slowed down, but it did not disappear completely. There was still a trace of mana left that slowly and continuously consumed the mana.

"Drink!" "Ha!"

Two sounds came from behind Lu Zhong.

But it was Duan Laodao and Changchun Dao who took action.

Hearing a loud shout, Lu Zhong suddenly felt black smoke igniting on his body. The remaining strength from being stared at by the faceless man disappeared in an instant, and his whole body felt more relaxed than ever before.

On the other side, when Yao Yi and Yao Two took action, a giant tree suddenly appeared in the void.

Countless vines burst out like raindrops.

The gaze that could affect the Golden Immortal seemed to have no effect on these vines. They crossed the distance of thousands of feet and arrived near the faceless man in a whoosh, tying him up instantly.

But before the four of them could breathe a sigh of relief, all the vines exploded again.

"What a powerful resentful spirit!"

Ling Duan Laodao cursed secretly and encouraged him again.

Lu Zhong was not idle, and used all his strength to activate the three swords of time and space, true star, and ancient moonlight.

For a moment, sword light erupted like a waterfall.

They cut space, cut off the past and future of time, and began to shake the power of laws that enveloped this place, even making the surrounding mountains of corpses and seas of blood appear to be blurred.

"Quickly, give fellow Taoist Yuxu a helping hand!"

Yao Yi shouted and hurriedly moved the giant tree in the void.

Yao Er didn't hesitate and cooperated immediately.

At this time, Ling Duanlaodao finally finished inflating and took another deep breath. Stand up with the index fingers of both hands and bend the other fingers together.

Suddenly he opened his mouth!

"King Ming doesn't move!"

With this loud shout, several people seemed to wake up from a dream, and seemed to escape from the quagmire. It was more like a drowning person breathing air again. Their spirits and bodies were relaxed as never before.

"Pfft"!

The faceless man was passed by the silver-gray sword light and broke into two pieces.

At the same time, countless vines attacked, and before the squirming corpses could join together, the power was extracted from them. Finally, they all gathered on the giant tree and turned into green fruits.

After several people cooperated, the faceless man was now dead.

"Who was that just now?"

"Tao Master, Blood Brake Tao Master!" Ling Duanlaodao said with great certainty.

"It's actually this person!" After hearing this, Lu Zhong was very surprised. He didn't expect that the person he met just now was actually the first Taoist master in history. This person was once the strongest fighting force in the Golden Immortal Court.

If this person is still here, then the immortal world should have seven realms.

I don’t know why he fell here.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Duan Laodao shook his head and sighed, "The Taoist Master of the Blood Temple did not die voluntarily, but in order to save the common people and prevent the immortal world from being affected by the resentful souls of the Taoist court, he was willing to disperse the Taoist rings, and then through the power of heaven With blessing, only then will the light wall of Wanlingting appear."

"That's all, let's see what we gain."

Hearing this, several people looked at their hands.

Without exception, the bodies of the Black Immortal were all reduced to ashes.

"This is--"

Lu Zhong blew away the ashes and found a piece of crystal clear sand on his hand.

After being stunned for a moment, he felt overjoyed.

"Yuan Chensha!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he got a target object.

According to Lu Zhong's most optimistic estimate, he would not be able to obtain Yuan Chensha until he reached the depths of the Spirit Court, or even when the storm of resentful souls came.

"I didn't expect that!"

He flipped his hand and put Yuan Chensha into a jade box before putting it into the storage ring.

After doing all this, Lu Zhong turned his attention to the others.

Judging from the expressions of Ling Duan and the others, it was obvious that they did not obtain Yuan Chensha, but found something from the ashes, either the remnants of the blood brake Taoist's will, or the afterglow of the Law of Blood.

They are all precious things, and fairy jade can easily be worth tens of thousands.

Of course, they are far inferior to Yuan Chensha.

After a good start, Lu Zhong felt particularly comfortable and full of expectations for the next actions.

After solving the strangeness, the surrounding environment returned to its original state.

After just the exhaustion, everyone was in normal condition at the moment, so they took a short rest on the spot, and then the four of them continued to follow the route and walked towards the depths of the Spiritual Courtyard.

Everything you see along the way is bizarre and bizarre.

At the same time, a depressing atmosphere was spreading.

It originated from the storm of resentful souls. Just by being enveloped by this aura, everyone felt that both their soul and mana were affected by the aura and were weakened to varying degrees.

As time goes by, this aura is getting stronger.

As one increases and the other depletes, the gap in strength between the two sides will become wider and wider.

The only exception is Lu Zhong, who has a Taoist ring.

Perhaps because of his possession of the Dao Ring, he found that the influence he received was obviously much weaker than that of others.

"There are really surprises for the strong!"

Pretending that nothing was wrong, Lu Zhong immersed himself in moving forward with the others.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. As everyone entered a bright world, the heavy burden they carried was greatly reduced at the same time.

"Guangyan Ridge has arrived."

Lu Zhong looked around randomly and found that he seemed to be in a sea of ​​luminous rocks. Everywhere he looked, there were bright and luminous rock peaks, and nothing else could be seen.

Of course, that doesn't mean there's nothing to gain here.

On the contrary, as long as you can break the boulder, you can get the contents inside.

In other words, it takes a few people to draw the lottery.

If you are lucky enough, you might actually get what you want.

"In Guangyan Ridge, the influence of the outside world is greatly weakened, so it is considered safe." When Ling Duanlao said this, he suggested: "Everyone, I think it is better to act independently next, how about it?"

"Agree." Lu Zhong responded first.

Medicine one and medicine two are even more eager for this.

An agreement was reached and each of the three parties chose a direction.

After being separated from the others, Lu Zhong went straight to the east, passing by countless light rocks along the way. It was still the same as the mirror image he had seen before, and he couldn't see anything else except the light rocks.

"Could it be that they are all wrapped in light rock?"

This thought appeared in his mind and it was difficult to erase it.

To confirm the conjecture, three sword shadows shot out of his sleeves, intertwined into three-color light pillars in the air, and then slashed towards a towering Light Rock Peak in front of him.

"Boom!"

The rock peak couldn't bear it at all and suddenly shattered into countless fragments.

But at this moment, a white light suddenly lit up among the debris.

Almost at the same time, Lu Zhong reached out and took the object, and found that it was a precious lamp with most of it missing, leaving only a lamppost.

"No, I'm afraid this can't be called a lamp anymore. It should be called a barbell."

Lu Zhong complained silently, and then threw away the lamppost.

It had already been explored and the lamppost was of no use.

Not feeling discouraged at all, he used three swords to knock down another Guangyan Peak.

This time I had better luck, and it turned out to be a piece of fairy chalcedony.

A rough estimate is that this is equivalent to getting one million immortal jade.

"With such amazing profits, it's no wonder that all the immortals are flocking here." Lu Zhong was a little confused about this at first, but now he understands the reason.

After a breath, a small light rock peak fell.

Lu Zhong didn't get anything good this time.

"what!"

Suddenly, screams came from a distance.

Who suffered?

Lu Zhong looked up, only to find that Ling Duan Laodao, as well as Yao Yi Yao Er, were all looking at him. They seemed to have the same idea, thinking that something had happened to someone in the team.

"Look over there!"

Ling Duan Laodao screamed and pointed into the distance.
