The Qi circulated slowly in the body, and every moment, it was being tempered, strengthened, and purified in a special way, as if there was no end. The Dragon Emperor, holding his dragon ball, watched the young Taoist open his eyes. His eyes were clear and peaceful, as if they could give people a sense of peace of mind, as if the young Taoist was the center of this world.

Then there was nothing special, just like he had been sitting for too long and felt tired, so he stretched, dusted himself off, and stood up as usual.

The Dragon Emperor widened his eyes and remained silent. Then he hesitated, considered his words, and asked:

"Have you, uh, made a breakthrough?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his hand, clasped his five fingers together, and waved it casually, feeling the subtle touch of the wind passing through his fingers, feeling the existence of Qi, and then thought about it and replied: "No."

The Dragon Emperor was silent, and then asked, "What about your cultivation? Has your cultivation improved?"

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and shook his head.

So the Dragon Emperor couldn't help but grab his dragon ball hard. For a moment, a suffocating feeling emerged in his chest, making him feel very annoyed. He couldn't help but want to raise his head and roar, roaring and spit out all the suffocating feeling in his stomach.

It's a ghost!

I have so much dragon blood!

So many!!!

It's just a pig, but after eating so much dragon blood, it can ascend to heaven instantly!

Is your cultivation just like this? Has it not improved at all?! This made the Dragon Emperor feel aggrieved and frustrated, thinking, "My thing is so awesome, why is it useless to you?" He sighed and said, "Then, is there no change?"

"change?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "There are still changes."

With a slight sweep of his sleeves, his own Qi began to flow, and then appeared, pulling the flow. Because it was infinitely pure, the surrounding Qi was instinctively swallowed by it, gradually expanding, and gradually dissipating, like ripples on water, like the changes of a storm, and finally with just a flick of his sleeves, he almost pulled out a majestic whirlwind.

There is no trace of fireworks!

Just like everything in the world, it is natural.

The wine jar that the Dragon Emperor had thrown down earlier flew up and landed directly in his hands. At this moment when the Dragon Emperor's Qi was flowing, he felt a sense of wonder, an illusion -

The strength of the young Taoist in front of him is far inferior to his own!

Compared with mine, his methods and supernatural powers are like heaven and earth.

But the purity of his Qi was actually slightly higher than his own? !

Vaguely, there is a feeling of the purity of the great way!

But, how is this possible? !

The Dragon Emperor was a hero and he understood it in an instant. He flashed and appeared beside Qi Wuhuo. He raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the young Taoist. In an instant, the Dragon Emperor's true essence flowed around Qi Wuhuo's body. Qi Wuhuo immediately found that his vast and pure Dragon Emperor's true essence, when it entered the young Taoist's body, was like a drop in the ocean and was actually dissolved by him.

There seemed to be an Eight Trigrams furnace inside the body of this young Taoist!

Any external Qi that enters the body, as long as it is not purer than his realm, will be directly refined by this Bagua furnace and turned into a torrent of Qi that flows into the body, making his own cultivation more purified and his foundation more solid. The Dragon Emperor instinctively wanted to withdraw his own Qi, but found that the acupoints all over the boy's body seemed to be blocked, and only Qi could enter but not exit.

The Dragon Emperor shook his wrist violently, releasing the Taoist young man's hand.

Uncertainty:

"The Buddhist Arhat, the realm where the body is not leaking?!"

"You have already reached the state of three flowers gathering at the top of your head?!"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "No."

"It's just that the physical body has the property of not leaking."

The Dragon Emperor got angry. Since his power was pure and vast, he used a wisp of his spirit to spy on the young Taoist's soul. He naturally entered his mind, but saw that the place was in chaos and darkness. Only Qi Wuhuo's spirit was shining brightly. It was silent and unchanged. The Dragon Emperor's spirit returned as soon as it was touched. He was surprised and happy, and said:

"A Taoist immortal, a person who has reached the state of primordial spirit tranquility?!"

Those who are astonished are because these two characteristics only appear in those with a strong foundation and who have hope of reaching the level of True Lord or Bodhisattva. Generally, when one cultivates to such a realm, they are about to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head; while the vast majority only seek to achieve one of the Four Righteousnesses and become immortals accordingly.

The young Taoist in front of him actually possessed both Buddhist and Taoist qualities. He was not surprised, but happy.

I'm full of real blood.

It really was not in vain!

Ha ha ha ha!

It’s worthy of being my blood!

He immediately grabbed Qi Wuhuo's wrist with one hand and laughed, "Any living being who can get one of these is already fully utilized, and is about to break through. Now you have both, and you still say you haven't broken through?!"

Qi Wuhuo did not give any explanation, he just circulated his own Qi.

Although this Qi is already extremely pure, it has indeed not yet reached the ultimate in this body. In other words, without combining Qi and spirit to transform into Yang Spirit, it naturally cannot be considered as the integration of two into one. Since it has not yet been integrated into one, it has not yet achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, let alone passing through the thunder tribulation to achieve pure Yang and become an immortal.

The Dragon Emperor asked doubtfully, "I see that your aura has reached the four positives, at least two of them."

"Your primordial spirit can already illuminate itself."

"But the physical body does not leak, and its Qi does not leak out."

"With this foundation, you can find a quiet place to practice breathing exercises in order to achieve a breakthrough. Why not break through the realm and seek the realm of immortals where the three flowers gather at the top of the head?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to."

He now understood more clearly what the Goddess Hou Tu had once told him about the direction of self-cultivation to the realm of immortals. He knew that the four directions would produce the Yang Spirit, and that the four directions were actually just the external manifestations of one's own Qi. The core was still one's own cultivation. He knew that above the four directions there were three more categories: [the serene illumination of the primordial spirit], [the body not leaking], and [the clarity of yin and yang].

This is a gift when leaving Fangcun Mountain.

Its value was greater than Qi Wuhuo realized at the time.

The Dragon Emperor also understood, and said in a serious tone, "You want to reach the realm of ultimate purity of the three flowers, and then take the next step? You know, this may be extremely difficult. What do you want?"

The young Taoist said, "Because the Tao is ahead, why can we only choose one?"

"There is a parable in the Buddhist Mahaparinirvana Sutra about a blind man touching an elephant."

"Those who touch the tusks say that the elephant is shaped like a radish root; those who touch the ears say that the elephant is shaped like a winnowing basket; those who touch the head say that the elephant is shaped like a stone; those who touch the nose say that the elephant is shaped like a pole; those who touch the feet say that the elephant is shaped like a piece of wood; those who touch the back say that the elephant is shaped like a bed; those who touch the belly say that the elephant is shaped like a jar; those who touch the tail say that the elephant is shaped like a rope."

"But this is only one aspect, not the truth."

"What I seek is the complete path."

Complete the way.

Use your talents to the fullest!

The Dragon Emperor looked solemn. He first exclaimed in praise and said, "What a heart of Tao, what aspiration!!!"

He added, "You have already achieved great success by being able to achieve [Primordial Spirit Illumination] and [No Leakage in the Physical Body], but I still want to advise you that [Not Ignoring Yin and Yang] is also extremely difficult. Moreover, you seem to be planning to go through the four directions to complete this path, which may take hundreds of years. By then, the delay may not be a good thing."

"Time is so long, and cultivation is full of suffering!"

"From ancient times to the present, there have been many cultivators with extraordinary abilities and aspirations who set their sights on the highest goals, but wasted their time on the road. In their pursuit of perfection, they ended up being less than perfect, wasting their time in vain. Does Qi Wuhuo know?"

"But you don't even look at how many years you have already lived!"

"If we waste time in vain, and reach the limit of a real person's lifespan in pursuit of perfection without breaking through, wouldn't that be a pity?"

The Dragon Emperor sighed deeply, then casually pressed Qi Wuhuo's shoulder to find out his age.

Then the expression on his face froze in an instant.

A pair of dragon eyes widened.

This bone age is...

He raised his head little by little and looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him with slightly raised hair and clear brows.

Whispering like a dream:

"Sixteen years old..."

The Dragon Emperor's expression was slightly frozen, and the expression on his face was as if someone had seen a ghost. He took a deep breath, and then checked the age of the young Taoist's physical body. His energy was just like Shaoyang, vast and majestic like the sea. There was no doubt that it was the body of a young man, so the Dragon Emperor took a deep breath and regained his composure.

Calm down, I need to calm down.

calm.

It's nothing.

Over thousands of years, many heroes have emerged, and most of them are extremely talented.

There is even one who is born with the foundation of an immortal who has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

This was the state I was in when I was born.

Just a Qi Wuhuo, just a...

Then I couldn't help but swear:

"What the hell!"

"Sixteen years old?!!"

…

The Dragon Emperor was frustrated and finally couldn't help but let out a long roar. After a long time, he calmed down and sat on the ground with a look of melancholy on his face. Soon he felt relieved. One generation replaced the old, and every generation had talented people roaming the mountains and rivers. However, he never thought that he would be able to see such a scene eight thousand years later after his death eight thousand years ago.

"It's a pity, but also a relief."

The young Taoist looked at the Dragon King in front of him, thanked him, and said:

"I have the fortune I have now thanks to your help, Dragon Emperor."

"How much dragon blood did I use just now?"

The Dragon Emperor looked at him and felt so heartbroken that he wanted to bleed, but after thinking about it, he realized that there would be no more blood to bleed.

Still maintaining his heroic attitude, he twitched his eyes and said concisely:

"all."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned, and then he felt extremely guilty. The Dragon Emperor swept his sleeves and said, "It's okay, I told you!"

"Enough!"

After such a heroic gesture, he took a deep breath and said, "However, since you have already been cleansed with my blood, my strength is now greatly reduced. I am afraid that I can no longer send you out. Now, you can only choose to break through the calamity and get out."

The young Taoist nodded.

He looked at the sky. The entire ancient mountain range was torn apart by countless flames and thunder and fire formations, turning into a criss-crossing area. This was a chessboard, Fuxi's top technique. It used mountains and rivers as counting chips, and the target of these counting chips was directly aimed at Qi Wuhuo.

The flames were endless, rising into the sky, illuminating the sky, as if tearing the entire sky apart. The deep blue sky was colored by the flames, like a chessboard.

The white jade-like fingers pinched a chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard.

Ripples spread like flames.

Suddenly scattered in all directions.

The owner of the white hand raised his hand, lowered his gorgeous sleeves, narrowed his eyes, and his facial features were extremely gorgeous, with an extremely aggressive temperament. He raised his eyes slightly, looked at the Demon King's confidant in front of him, and said lightly: "I have also set up the formation you want for you."

"If you want to find it, go there yourself."

The arrogant young man faced the gorgeous woman in front of him, and even though he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.

But he still couldn't help asking, and said in a deep voice: "The earth god has violated the border for no reason!"

"All of us demons should go forth and fight!"

"His Majesty the Demon King has summoned all the saints. Saint Huang, when will you set off?"

Huang Yao raised his eyes and said calmly: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

"But--"

"Go down."

The Demon King's confidant remained silent, bowed and then left. When he walked out of Fuxi's Huangyao Palace, he saw a girl of only twelve or thirteen years old walking towards him briskly. Her black hair was hanging down, and her face was a little pale, apparently because of the long period of wandering before, but she had recovered well, and her eyes were bright.

There is a longevity lock around her waist, a longevity knot on her cuffs, and a peace jade pendant, which shows how much the owner of this place loves her.

The general smiled and saluted: "Your Highness."

He was about to reach out his hand to touch the girl's hair, but the latter was very sensitive and tried to avoid it. However, there was no way as the difference in their cultivation was too huge. When he was about to be touched, the Demon King's confidant stiffened his body and inexplicably moved his wrist to avoid the child.

The girl avoided him and quickly ran into the palace.

Her black hair fell down her back.

It swayed along with the girl's footsteps.

Like weeds blowing in the wind.

The general withdrew his hand, looked deeply at the Great Saint Huang Yao Palace, and finally left. Huang Yao reached out and touched Xiao Pengcao's hair. His voice was much calmer, and he said: "Stay away from those disciples of the Demon King's lineage in the future. Even if they want to get closer to you, you must be vigilant."

Little Pengcao nodded vigorously: "Yes."

She pulled at Huang Yao's drooping sleeves of gorgeous robe, very obediently, and then whispered: "Wuhuo he..."

Huang Yao lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

Because I was careless before, I suffered a big setback because of this little guy; also because this little weed in front of me actually trusted a human being so much.

A guy who doesn’t have the blood of Fuxi!

But she could hardly refuse Xiao Pengcao's plea.

Every time the little fellow looked at her with those eyes, and his eyes were filled with mist, it was as if the blood of Fuxi was burning and roaring. Huang Yao, who was determined to reject her, could hear the sound of the iron wall of defense in his heart collapsing and decaying.

Before we knew it, the bottom line had been retreating again and again!

And every time the little guy becomes very well-behaved.

It makes Huang Yao feel that it is not a loss at all!

Then he was upset again when he was alone, thinking that it must be because of the influence of the Fuxi factor in his blood. What on earth did the ancestor who was born in the first calamity era do? Why did you harm your descendants like this, you old rascal, why? ! !

Huang Yao, ah Huang Yao, you are your independent self!

Don't be influenced by the old bastards from a few eons ago!

Tomorrow you must not be affected by the little weeds again.

Day 2

The little pampas grass is so cute.

This is how it started, intentionally using Fuxi's unique skills to indirectly help the kid delay time.

Huang Yao sighed, reached out and touched Xiao Pengcao's hair, and asked, "He didn't touch it, did he?"

Little Pengcao shook his head.

Huang Yao felt relieved and said, "That's good..."

"Only you said that Qi Wuhuo from Fangcun Mountain, I have already bought him as much time as possible. According to my estimation, he had at least two chances to leave here and the demon world in one piece, but for some reason, he never left... He has a very good brain, he should have his own choices and ideas."

Seeing that Xiao Pengcao was still extremely worried, Huang Yao sighed, softened his heart again, and said, "Don't worry."

"No matter what, I will do my best to save his life."

"only……"

"Next, the Demon King's confidants should go to him. These Demon King confidants... may have begun to distrust me... Humph, but, Demon King..." Huang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Seeing Xiao Pengcao's worry, he said, "Don't worry about my position."

"It is impossible for Fuxi to be an enemy of Hou Tu."

"No way."

"It would have been impossible for me to be in his shoes when he was making these choices."

…

The Demon King's confidant had returned to the Demon King's palace. The Demon Clan True Lord who had crossed a long distance and almost killed the Bashe with one arrow raised his eyes and said lightly: "Great Saint Huang Yao may have other thoughts, but it doesn't matter. Even if she has other thoughts, she has indeed ruled out a considerable area in these days."

"This is the bait to catch Hou Tu."

"Next, don't use Huang Yao's counting method anymore. Just send the elite monster tribe to the remaining areas."

A man replied, "Lord Zhulong doesn't know that he used to be a real person, but he once fought and died with a demon fairy."

"I once escaped from the pursuit of a six-tusked white elephant."

"If we are to be cautious, we should send an earth immortal who is good at speed and five demon immortals to chase and kill him. It should be fine."

Standing with a bow in hand, Zhulong Jun, who had the blood of the ancient Zhulong, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "A real person..."

"Okay, ten then."

The man who asked the question was a little surprised and asked, "Do we need ten demon fairies?"

"No, it's ten earthly immortals."

Then everyone changed color.

Zhulong Jun stood up, his tone calm and cold, and said lightly: "He dared to offend the name of our clan, humiliate the Great Sage, and even dragged countless elites of our clan into the mountains, causing countless casualties and making the ancient forbidden place no longer exist. How can we let him go so easily?!"

"Is he a real person?"

"We need to send ten earth immortals, thirty demon immortals, and an organized army of 10,000 people to this place!"

"If we don't do this, we won't be able to show our thunderous wrath."

"I will destroy his power, break his limbs, and treat him like a dog!"

“Drag it back!!!”

…

At this time, the Dragon Emperor, who had seen the age of the young Taoist priest, was finally impressed. He imprinted the void with a dragon ball. Countless golden words appeared in the air and turned into a scroll. The Dragon Emperor held the scroll with a complicated expression. Finally, he sighed, shook his wrist, and handed the scroll to Qi Wuhuo.

Qi Wuhuo unfolded the scroll. On the scroll, there were countless words and crisscrossing lines.

There is an indescribable sense of mystery and heaviness in it.

"Chart of the Demonic Tribe's Geographical Veins"

The young Taoist looked at the scroll and felt its heaviness and thickness. He felt that the power in it seemed to have an indescribable resonance with the earth beneath his feet. His expression was slightly condensed. The Dragon Emperor sat on the dragon head and looked at the young Taoist holding the earth vein map with calm eyes. He studied it for a long time and then asked:

"I've given you the things, but what are you going to do with them?"

"I have to be frank with you. I only know about this thing, but I can hardly use it myself. It is said that only the Earth God lineage and the top beings like the Great Emperor can use it. What use will it have to you if you get it?"

Qi Wuhuo said to himself: "The Great Emperor of the Earth God lineage?"

The Dragon Emperor was slightly startled, his eyes suddenly widened, and even the action of drinking was paused.

He saw the young Taoist sitting cross-legged on a bluestone, holding a scroll in his left hand. The scroll was unfolded and spread out in front of him, on his knees. On it was a map of all the mountains and rivers in the entire demon world, rising and falling like a flying dragon. His right hand was slightly clenched, and a seal emerged. On the scroll and the seal, streams of light were emitted:

"I have."
