Chapter 490
490 The three swordsmen of Shanghai
In that era, every young man had a “dream of adventures” and a “dream of being a hero.” The two dreams complemented each other. For example, they fell off a cliff and accidentally obtained a secret manual of a divine skill. From then on, they cultivated to become invincible in the world. Then, they had all kinds of entanglements with fairies and demonic women from all walks of life. Love and hate were intertwined.
This was exactly the same as the ” system dream “, ” transmigration dream “, ” fantasy dream ” and so on that young people had later. The dream had changed, but the core idea was the same.
Both li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi were a little excited. Li Wuxiang was the most excited. A few hours ago, he was still an ordinary person. In the past few hours, he had encountered a series of strange encounters and the sadness of his brothers being killed had faded a lot. He felt that he was the main character in a wuxia novel.
The three patted their chests, indicating that they would keep their promise and not reveal it to anyone.
The flesh tissue was very satisfied with their replies and said, ” “Do you know the history of ancient demons? The ancient demons existed in an era of ignorance. A group of creatures that evolved superpowers in the cruel current state of the world were collectively called ancient demons. Some ancient Fey are very weak, some are very strong, some are in groups, and some are alone. Animals that live in groups are often not strong enough, while animals that are alone usually have invincible individual strength.”
ancient demons are also living creatures. You don’t have to deify them. The weak ancient demons are even weaker than you. However, powerful ancient Fey could sweep across the entire world. In ancient times, there were nine powerful creatures that stood at the top of the world. They stood at the top of the food chain and had extremely high intelligence. They were the rulers of the world. Every ancient demon had a Palace, and the three ancient demon Ruins that we know of today are the palaces of the three ancient demons.”
“How powerful?” Li Wuxiang raised his eyebrows.
“Since we were born, we will not age, we will not die, our lifespans are endless.”
Li Wuxiang’s eyelashes trembled. He thought to himself, isn’t this the same as my great-grandma?
It was true that compared to those ancient demons who had experienced countless years, great-grandma was just a young loli, but great-grandma’s lifespan had also broken through the limits of human beings, and she was known to be immortal.
among the nine ancient demons, the master of the great deities Palace is the strongest, and he claims to be the master of the world. there was a day when the door to the catacombs opened, and the door to the nine Heavens opened. Heaven and earth met, and a Supreme treasure that could change the world was born. The master of the great deities Palace set it up for his own use. The Christian Church intends to use that treasure to destroy all living things in the world and create a world that belongs only to the church. By then, the whole world will belong to the church, and the church will be the master of the world.”
in order to stop the Christian Church, the other eight ancient demons joined forces to launch a general attack on the great deities Palace, but we failed. The Christian Church had already integrated some of the treasures, and the eight ancient demons died in the great deities Palace. But we are the most powerful creatures in the world, and even the master of the great deities Palace can’t kill us completely. After countless years, our bodies have molted into flesh and blood tissues that have the power of life, which is me, the one you see now.”
and then our goal is to defeat the master of the great deities Palace and save the world? ” Li Xiong touched his chin. it sounds like a third-rate movie script.
Li Wuxiang frowned and thought for a moment. according to what you said, the master of the great deities Palace has probably fused the treasures. After all, it has been countless years.
“No, the Holy See didn’t succeed. Otherwise, you humans wouldn’t exist. And it’s impossible for us, the remains, to come out of the great deities Palace alive. I speculate that the fruit has not ripened, so the master of the great deities Palace did not successfully integrate with the kun, or there was an accident in the process of integration.”
“But we can’t beat the Holy See either.” After Li Xiong’s excitement died down, he shrugged his shoulders with self-awareness.
As a hooligan, the most important thing was to be able to judge the situation. If there were more people, he wouldn’t attack. If there weren’t many people, he would attack.
“When did I say that I wanted you to deal with the church? What you have to do is to wait for the next opening of the great deities Palace and enter it to explore the truth. Although it is risky, you don’t have to face the master of the great deities Palace. I will tell you how to enter the great deities Palace later.”
“How can we believe you?” Tong Xuanzi squinted his eyes. He was the most vigilant and would not easily trust others.
“Whether I’m telling the truth or not, you’ll know after entering the great deities Palace, unless you can resist the temptation of the great deities Palace. Besides, I’m not asking you to do evil, but to do a just thing to save the world.” in return, I will guide you in your cultivation. Believe me, no great teacher in this world can compare to me.
Tong Xuanzi was moved. Indeed, as it said, no one could resist the temptation of the great deities Palace, and no one was willing to give up the opportunity of an ancient demon’s metamorphosis to guide cultivation. Secondly, if what it said was right, then as a disciple of Haotian Taoism, it was his duty to save the world, and he should participate.
Tong Xuanzi glanced at li Wuxiang, and his expression changed slightly.
Li Wuxiang thought for a moment. I’m not interested in saving the world, nor am I interested in the great deities Palace. What does the master of the great deities Palace you mentioned have to do with me? I only have my great-grandma, who is the most powerful.
The ancient demon’s blood vessels paused for a moment, and it took a few seconds for them to resume flowing. It was silent for a long time, and said, ” what if I tell you that the great deities Palace has a way to cure your Li family’s ancestral kidney deficiency? ”
Hitting the snake seven inches away, a critical strike, hitting the vital point.
Li Wuxiang’s eyes lit up.
“Of course it’s true. As I said, my powerful companion can devour qi and blood essence. If you get it, you can continuously absorb blood essence and Qi, and you won’t have to worry about kidney deficiency. Although it was taken out of the great deities Palace by the demonic priest, there are still other remains in the great deities Palace that have not escaped. Each of them has different abilities, but it is more than enough to make up for the deficit in your body.”
“Let’s do it.” Li Wuxiang clenched his fist.
If he could solve the deficit in his body, not only would he benefit, but the future generations of the Li family would also be able to get rid of the title of ” short-lived ghosts ” and the Li family would be able to spread its branches.
“How about you?” The ancient demon’s shedding looked at Li Xiong. if you want to kill the Jade handle, with your cultivation, it will take at least eight to ten years. However, I can help you do it quickly. It will take five to three years. You can completely beat the Jade handle.
“Alright,” Li Xiong said after some thought.
The ancient demon laughed and said,”very good. From today onwards, the three of you are my disciples.” The color of my body is dark green, so you can call me Qingshi.”
……
Half a year passed by quickly. Tong Xuanzi had stayed in Shanghai for half a year. There was no time limit for the disciples of Taoism and Buddhism to go down the mountain and travel. It could be a few months, a few years, or a few decades, as long as they reported the status to the sect regularly.
Taoism and Buddhism had such a tradition since ancient times. Some Taoists and monks went down the mountain to travel for decades, walk through the mortal world and see the mortal world. In the end, they had a great enlightenment, and when they returned to the mountain, their Buddhism and Taoism improved a thousand miles.
Some of them even got married and had children in the mortal world. Suddenly, one day, a letter came to the Qiantang River and they died on the spot … PEI, he comprehended the Dao on the spot, then returned to his sect and cultivated in seclusion, not caring about the outside world.
The rules of Taoism and Buddhism were strict, but for the disciples who went down the mountain to travel, the rules were very broad, as long as they did not commit any crimes.
Taoism and Buddhism had a common idea, which was to enter the world first and then enter the world again. Everyone entered the world in a different way. Some people only needed to look at the vast world of mortals coldly, while some people had to integrate into it and live like an ordinary person to gain enlightenment.
However, the disciples who were allowed to go down the mountain to travel had a certain level of mental cultivation. Those who had low cultivation were not allowed to go down the mountain because their minds were not strong enough. They might not want to be monks or Daoist priests after a deep exploration.
After half a year of hard cultivation, the three of them had their own gains. Li Xiong’s cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds. His Qi cultivating aptitude was excellent, and he had the buff of the ancient demon’s shedding. One day of cultivation was equivalent to half a month of others.
Next was Tong Xuanzi. Although his progress was not as exaggerated as li xionglai’s, it was still much faster than if he were to cultivate alone.
Li Wuxiang’s harvest was the smallest. He had no talent in Qi cultivation. Even with the blessing of the ancient demon’s shedding, he just crawled from a snail to a turtle. They were all crawling, and there was not much difference.
Fortunately, he had a great-grandma who had practiced ” strengthening ” to an unprecedented level, and his own special ability talent was excellent, so his cultivation was not surpassed.
On a sunny afternoon, li Wuxiang and the other two gathered again. The ancient demon’s shedding was residing in Li Xiong’s body, and he said in a very distinctive electronic voice, ” in the past six months, you have all made great progress. Among my previous hosts, the three of you are very talented. Although li Wuxiang’s talent in Qi cultivation is not high, his talent in special ability is the best I have ever seen. Li Xiong is excellent in both Qi cultivation and special ability talent. The two of you have a chance to become Gokudo Masters. As for Tong Xuanzi, you are slightly worse, but you have no problem in becoming a half-step Gokudo master.
Tong Xuanzi’s face was slightly ugly. He glanced at li Wuxiang and remained silent.
“Today’s training program is long-distance running,” Qing Shi continued.
“Ha?” Li Xiong snorted,”just a long-distance run?” Qingshi, do you believe that I can run all the way from Shanghai to the Tibetan Plateau? but it’s meaningless.”
Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi were also puzzled. Long-distance running was almost impossible for them to achieve the purpose of exercise.
you don’t have to run that far. You just need to run from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Jinshan. You can’t stop on the way. You must run at full speed. After a pause, it said,”I will seal your dantian’s sea of Qi.”
The expressions of the three of them changed.
If the starting point was the Yangtze Tunnel, the journey to Kanayama was about 100 kilometers, which was equivalent to crossing the entire Shanghai. With their current cultivation, although it was tough to run at full speed, with the support of Qi, it was not a problem to run the whole distance.
However, without Qi as a backup, it was equivalent to a car without an engine. With just the strength of the body …
“What’s wrong?” Qing Shi sneered. you’ve been cultivating too comfortably during this period of time. Shanghai is still considered peaceful. You can’t even find a demon descendant to practice with. Then experience the boundary of life and death while running. Of course, if you can’t hold on, you can give up.”
“Even if I have to run until my legs break or die on the way, I won’t give up halfway.” Li Xiong laughed coldly and heroically.
……
“Huchi huchi … I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to die, I give up! I admit defeat!” In a place more than ten kilometers away from Song Jiang, Li Xiong was lying on the side of the road with his arms and legs spread out. His chest was up and down violently.
Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi looked at each other and saw the burning fighting spirit in each other’s eyes. They gritted their teeth and ran wildly, leaving the good-for-nothing Li Xiong behind.
Li Xiong lay down and rested for more than ten minutes. After sitting for five minutes, he bought a bottle of fruit juice at the convenience store at the intersection to replenish his sugar. He drank it happily while slowly following the route. He did not have money to take a taxi, so he rode on an old man’s three-wheeled motorcycle on the way. After passing three traffic lights, he got off and said goodbye to the old man. He watched the three-wheeled motorcycle go in different directions. After that, he rode in a van from an old man. After more than half an hour, he finally caught up with li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi.
The two of them were on the verge of death.
They had really broken their legs from all the running. They were lying on the ground and crawling forward with great difficulty. Even so, they didn’t forget to look at each other as they crawled, trying to kill each other with their eyes.
“Do you two have to fight so hard? you’re thinking about saving the world? Don’t worry, even if the sky falls, the evil M Nation will hold it up. They are the world’s boss, what does it have to do with us ordinary people?” Li Xiong was puzzled by their stubbornness, so he squatted in front of them and drank his drink happily while watching them race like turtles.
As li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi climbed a distance, Li Xiong would move forward a little. She was still squatting in front of them, drinking her drink and watching the show.
Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi stared at each other, the stubbornness of a young man in their eyes. As for their hearts …
Li Wuxiang: ” damn it, why didn’t he stop us? how long are we going to climb? it’s so embarrassing.
Tong Xuanzi: ” can you let me have a sip of the drink? it’s good to lick it.
Li Wuxiang: ” I can’t. I’ve wasted too much energy today. Great-grandma is short of food.
“Master, I want to go home …. Tong Xuanzi said.
