The Tao comes to all heavens: from the beginning of the Wilderness Period

Chapter 43 Dongyuan Tower

In a quiet valley in the Blue Sky Mountains, there is a very eye-catching towering palace.When Zhang Heng arrived here, the sky was gradually darkening.He stood outside and watched carefully, not to appreciate the beautiful scenery here, but to try to get some clues with his spiritual consciousness.

"Dongyuan Tower? I think it's more of a funnel than a tower." Although he had already known about this training place, Zhang Heng couldn't help but look weird when he actually came here.

This Dongyuan Tower is said to be an extremely powerful immortal-level magic weapon, but it does not stand on the ground, but is hidden deep underground.Although he could not peer into its interior with his spiritual consciousness, he could barely discern the entirety of the magic weapon through the surrounding formations.Its shape is like a huge funnel, with broad edges that gradually converge toward the bottom. It looks extremely thick and solid.

The entrance to Dongyuan Tower is in the palace in the valley.Around the main hall, there are still swirling clouds and mist swirling upward, which is obviously caused by the unusually strong power of the formation.

When the night completely covered the sky, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into the palace.As soon as he entered, he felt a bright light coming towards him. The inside of the hall was like daylight, but compared to the deserted and empty space outside, it seemed quite noisy.

In the tall and grand hall, which is decorated with bright jewels and jade, there are many practitioners in gorgeous clothes sitting or standing. They gather in twos and threes, talking to each other with interest.However, Zhang Heng glanced at them and found that almost all of these people were ordinary disciples in the sect, with cultivation levels ranging from Zifu to Wanxiang.

He listened to a few words. In addition to exchanging practice experiences and some fun and novelty matters, these disciples were mostly discussing topics about the Dongyuan Tower.This Cave Abyss Tower contains the universe, which is much larger than the Fuyou Secret Realm he has been to before. However, only one person can enter at a time, so the disciples in the temple are waiting here.

As a true disciple, Zhang Heng naturally has some privileges. Not only does he not have to wait here for a long time, he can also enter the tower first.He stepped away, walked through the huge hall, and reached the innermost stone door of the palace.

At this moment, there was a flash of light beside him, and in just a split second, a short, fat old man in red clothes, who looked like a rich man, appeared in front of the door.His face was full of kindness and he said happily: "Zhang Heng's true disciple, it's been a long time. There are two true disciples before you. If you want to break into the tower, you have to wait for two or three hours."

Zhang Heng raised his head and saluted, and said: "Then please help me arrange a quiet room for me, senior."

He was not surprised that the magic weapon spirit of Dongyuan Tower knew his identity.The moment he stepped into this hall, the true inheritance token on his body was already connected with the formation here.

Cangji Sect has many immortal-level magic weapons that are well known to the public, but the spirit of this magic weapon in front of you can be said to be the most talkative.Not only does he like to wander around, he also often becomes a guest of some true disciples, making people fall in love with him upon seeing him.

Afterwards, Zhang Heng, led by the short and fat old man, passed through the stone door and chose a meditation room to settle in.

And their commotion here was naturally noticed by the disciples in the hall, and they started to inquire about each other.

"Who was that person just now? Can Senior Dongyuan come forward in person, but does anyone recognize him?"

"I haven't seen him before. It looks like he is probably a new true disciple."

"That's natural. If you haven't seen him before, he may be a true disciple specially recruited into the sect, rather than being promoted from the peripheral disciples."

The disciples deeply agreed.Ordinary disciples like them are not valued by the sect, and it is extremely difficult to obtain merit points.But as long as they practice well, they will also have the hope of becoming a true successor in the future, so they are not too envious.

In the meditation room, Zhang Hengfang felt refreshed when he entered the room.Looking up, he saw a huge stone sculpture inlaid above, which was actually carved from many high-grade Yuan stones.

He couldn't help but nodded.Although true disciples do not use Yuan Stone to practice, after all, there are some impurities in it, but with this thing, at least when regulating the breath, it will be twice the result with half the effort.This meditation room is extremely elegantly decorated, and a lot of thought has obviously been put into it.

Two hours passed quickly.Zhang Heng was sitting on the futon, and suddenly he heard the sound of golden bells ringing in his ears. He knew that the time had come for him to enter the Dongyuan Tower, so he immediately walked out of the quiet room and walked down the palace along a dark corridor leading to the ground. And go.

After passing through many portals and going dozens of miles underground, he came to a cave that was more than a hundred feet long and wide.Strings of orbs hung on the top, which were very bright, while the ground was paved with polished square stones, and a huge stone tablet stood in the middle.

The surface of the stone tablet was rippled and flickering, and it seemed like there were some small words written on it.Zhang Heng walked closer and took a closer look, and found that what was recorded on it were the names of some of the true disciples in the past and their achievements in the Dongyuan Tower.

From top to bottom, there are a hundred disciples listed, but only a few of them are people known to Zhang Heng, such as Zhenren Xuanyu, Zhenren Luhua, etc.There are now more than [-] true disciples in the sect. He already knew the general information when he entered, but the vast majority of the disciples recorded here are not included in them.

When I was thinking about it, I saw the huge stone tablet in front of me trembling without warning. A little ripple suddenly appeared in the originally empty cave, and then a soft mist gradually emerged and spread slowly outward. There was something inside. A blurry figure is quickly solidifying.

A moment later, a young monk in silver robes appeared in Zhang Heng's field of vision.This man's face was flawless, and what was particularly eye-catching were his eyes, which looked misty and profound.

However, his aura seemed to be fading. After he got used to it for a while, he looked at Zhang Heng beside him.At this glance, he couldn't help but show surprise and asked: "Is this Junior Brother Zhang Heng?"

Zhang Heng responded seriously: "That's right. Could you please give me your nickname?"

The silver-robed monk smiled and said: "My name is Duanmu Yingzhuo, and I study under Elder Yuntu of Cangji Palace."

Zhang Heng suddenly said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Yingzhuo, whom I have admired for a long time."

Among the more than 300 true disciples of Cangji Sect, there are several disciples from Shangyang Duanmu clan, and Duanmu Yingzhuo is one of them.Although they were descendants of the Duanmu clan, their family backgrounds were average, and they were far from comparable to the Duanmu Qing master Zhang Heng had met in the East China Sea.The top big tribes like this have many internal factions and extremely fierce battles. If they don't have a strong background, it will be difficult for them to obtain a large amount of resources and even practice stably.

However, although the Duanmu Yingzhuo in front of him was of mediocre origin, he was extremely talented. He had been a member of the Cangji Sect for less than 30 years and was already the top true disciple. He definitely had the strength to surpass ordinary Yuanshen Taoists.Although Zhang Heng did not know his specific realm, he could surmise that this person had at least mastered several Tao realms, and might be very close to those reincarnated immortals who had practiced for more than a hundred years.

"Junior Brother Zhang, when you first entered the sect, why didn't you go to Xuanhe Peak to understand the Qiankun Pillar first, and instead came to Dongyuan Tower?" Duanmu Yingzhuo asked curiously.

Zhang Heng said: "I heard that there are merit points that can be obtained by participating in the experience in Dongyuan Tower, so I came here to give it a try. As for the Qiankun Pillar, it is not too late to go there later. And my realm is still lacking, so I may not be able to understand it. Something is coming.”

The Qiankun Pillar mentioned in their conversation was an opportunity for the founder of the Li Sect to stay on Xuanhe Peak.Many top large tribes outside of Shangyang County, such as the Tiannong Clan, Shenrong Clan, etc., most of the reason why they sent their clan members to worship the Cangji Sect in the past years was because of this thing.

The Qiankun Pillar is not a magic weapon, but a wonder of heaven and earth. It is said that its origin can be traced back to extremely ancient times.At that time, the three realms of heaven, earth and man had not yet taken shape, and the three thousand worlds, including the world of Daxia, had not yet been born. A certain ancient great master casually took away a rock from the foot of Buzhou Mountain and used it to decorate the cave. After a long time, it evolved. It became a wonder of heaven and earth.

When Duanmu Yingzhuo saw that Zhang Heng had been staring at the stone tablet in the cave, he took the initiative to explain: "The characters on the tablet are all the most outstanding true disciples of the sect in the past 10 years. Now this The average standard of a generation of true successors is almost the highest in 10 years, so senior fellow apprentices like Xuanyu, Luhua, and Suyi were all included early on."

Zhang Heng nodded slightly. While he felt pressure in his heart, he couldn't help but feel high morale.Living in the same era with so many peerless geniuses can bring more fun and pursuit to practice.

After thinking for a while, he added: "Then I wish Senior Brother Yingzhuo to leave his name on the monument as soon as possible."

Duanmu Yingzhuo smiled and did not take these words to heart.After the two chatted casually for a few more words, he knew that Zhang Heng was still going into the tower to practice, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After he left, Zhang Heng used the True Inheritance Token to activate the formation in the cave. The next moment, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of fluorescence, and then he disappeared into the cave instantly under the pull of a mysterious force.

"There are nine floors in the Dongyuan Tower. My cultivation level is only at the Purple Mansion Consummation level. On the first three floors, I will only encounter puppets at the Purple Mansion Consummation level. However, starting from the fourth floor, the puppet's Yuan Power will be upgraded to the early stage of Vientiane. After the seventh floor, we need to deal with the puppets at the Wanxiang perfection level." "If we break through the Wanxiang real person in the future and break into the Dongyuan Tower again, we will encounter puppets on the last three floors whose combat power is comparable to that of the Shinto people."

Zhang Heng thought secretly in his heart.Although the puppets here rely on formations to exist and have no strength but no intelligence, when the number reaches a certain level, the threat is not as great as the real Wanxiang Zhenren and Yuanshen Taoist.

Where he was standing at the moment, the terrain was undulating and broken, and all he could see were hard and smooth gray-white rocks. Even if he looked hundreds of miles away, there was no grass or trees, not to mention any human figures, revealing a desolate and desolate place.

After a few breaths, six silver giants suddenly rushed out from the ground thousands of feet away, with huge aura emerging from their bodies.

When Zhang Heng saw those puppets, he didn't show any hesitation and punched them very cleanly.

He was obviously still quite far away, but he appeared close to the puppets in an instant.There was no momentum in his attack, and there was only a halo of light above his fist. This was because he had gathered all his divine power together, and no trace of it would be leaked.

Those puppets are just the most common Zifu Perfection puppets, and there is no way to gather strength to attack together. Any Cangji Sect disciple can easily deal with them here.Therefore, Zhang Heng did not even use the power of the realm of Tao, nor did he use his sword skills. He only attacked at close range and completely defeated him in a few punches.

Before long, he entered the second floor of Dongyuan Tower under the pull of the power of the formation.The reward for passing the first level is only ten merit points, but it's still better than nothing.

……

Above the Dongyuan Tower, in a secret underground palace, two Yuanshen Taoists were sitting at a table playing chess.

One of them, a Taoist with a pure Yang crown on his head and a white hair and beard, was not very good at chess. After losing several games in a row, he felt that he had no hope of winning, so he sat up straight and said: "Junior brother Ziyun, you can be leisurely stationed in Dongyuan Tower. Your chess skills I have made great progress. I will leave the sect soon and come to see you, just to catch up on old times. After all, we may not meet again in the future. On the other hand, you don’t know how to give in, so can’t you let me win a game? "

Taoist Ziyun is a handsome, elegant and gentle young Taoist. He saw that the opponent had no intention of playing again, so he put away the chess piece with a flick of his sleeves, and then asked in confusion: "Why did Senior Brother say this?"

The senior brother Mo sitting opposite him was from the Mo clan in Shangyang County, but it was said that he had a bad relationship with the clan, so he had stayed in the clan for thousands of years and rarely returned to the clan.

Taoist Mo said calmly: "I have realized two complete ways, and I will choose to break through and become an immortal in the near future. But the calamity is sad. If I stay in the door all the time, I don't see any hope of becoming an immortal. Therefore. I am planning to leave the world of Daxia and travel around the Three Realms. This may take ten thousand years, or I may never return.”

Taoist Ziyun was stunned, and then sighed: "Then I wish senior brother a smooth trip."

When he first joined the sect, Taoist Mo in front of him was already Taoist Yuanshen.Although his cultivation level is now comparable to that of his opponent, his realm is still inferior. After all, he is able to comprehend two complete paths, which is relatively rare among earthly immortals and loose immortals.

In fact, for most of the Yuanshen Taoists of Cangji Sect, it is not that difficult to break through the Void-Returning Earth Immortal.But they usually stay in the Yuanshen Taoist stage for a long time, and will not break through until they accumulate a deeper foundation. In that case, once they break through, their strength will be comparable to the top loose immortals.

While feeling emotional, Taoist Ziyun was also thinking secretly, "I don't know if I will take this step in the future."

suddenly.

"Huh?" Taoist Ziyun raised his eyebrows, as if he had received some news.

"What's wrong?" Taoist Mo asked casually.

"Senior Brother also knows that the garrison task I received is a casual position. On weekdays, Senior Dongyuan pays attention to the disciples who are undergoing training."

Taoist Ziyun smiled and said: "Senior Dongyuan just informed me that Zhang Heng, the true disciple who joined the sect just a few days ago, has already reached the seventh level in just a cup of tea."

A trace of surprise flashed in Taoist Mo's eyes. He usually rarely pays attention to the disciples in his sect, and he would not even know about the new Zhenjian entering the sect a few days ago. But at this time, he couldn't help but show a look of interest and said: " If you have nothing to do, just take a look."

Taoist Ziyun nodded, waved his sleeves, and a huge shadow appeared in the palace, and the picture displayed in it was so lifelike that it was still before his eyes.

On the seventh floor of the Dongyuan Tower, a handsome young man in black robes stood high in the sky, facing off against several puppets of Perfection on the ground.

The young man came down with his sword, and there was a fierce and unstoppable force. Before the people arrived, the differentiated sword light was already shining downwards, pressing towards the puppets.

Dozens of sword lights are like real flying swords, forming a powerful field like a huge tide. The power of each sword light is no less than a full blow of the ordinary Wanxiang Zhenren.The sword domain covered a ten-mile area, and under the strangulation, it was as if dozens of Wanxiang Daoists were taking action at the same time.A puppet as powerful as Wanxiang Perfection, facing such an offensive, had to defend with all its strength and was unable to attack.

"Sword Immortal? Such a young Sword Immortal has such a high attainment in the way of swordsmanship?" Taoist Mo was amazed. "His sword domain combines the mysteries of several ways. It seems that his understanding is not low."

Taoist Ziyun was also watching carefully and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you think this disciple might pass the seventh level?"

Taoist Mo thought for a moment and then made a judgment and said: "He should be practicing both Qi Flow Refining and Divine Demon Body Refining. However, it seems that the loss of his divine power is quite serious. I am afraid that he used the Heavenly Elephant Earth when he broke through the first few floors. If Just based on the level of swordsmanship he has shown now, it is impossible to pass the seventh level."

"Well, after all, he is a puppet with a perfect body. He has a tough body and can jointly attack one area, which is enough to block his sword light." Taoist Ziyun agreed.

On the seventh floor of the Dongyuan Tower, Zhang Hengjiu was invincible, but his heart was still calm: "It seems that my own sword domain is not enough to defeat these puppets. I still have to use the sword moves in the Langxia Sword Code. ."

The next moment, his mind moved, and the galloping sword light became even faster, almost like a stream of lightning. Looking from a distance, a blurry cover of light and shadow seemed to appear around the puppets.

Compared with Immortal Langxia's original creation, the sword moves he performed were not as pure, but the power attached to the sword light was even greater, and it also contained more changes.

The two Yuanshen Taoists who were watching the battle saw many brilliant sword lights flying around the puppets, putting them at an absolute disadvantage in the blink of an eye.

In this situation, if it were a real Wanxiang Zhenren, even if he couldn't find a proper response, he could at least find a way to use magic weapons or supernatural powers to compete with those sword lights.But after all, those puppets were only driven by the power of the formation. They did not have the ability to adapt to changes and could only be beaten passively.

Taoist Mo was a little surprised and said with stern eyes: "It seems that he had some reservations before. This swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the Langxia Sword Code in Daozang Palace. He is still very young. If he practices for a while, he may have some. I’m sure I’ve passed the ninth floor of Dongyuan Tower.”

Taoist Ziyun was also extremely shocked and said: "Our Cangji Sect is finally going to give birth to another peerless swordsman."

Zhang Heng's performance truly shocked the two Yuanshen Taoists.
