Xu Sheng felt like he had plunged into the sea.
It was submerged in sea water for quite some time.
While immersed in the sea water, Xu Sheng heard another scream coming from the water surface.
But Xu Sheng was still immersed in the sea and did not see the light of day again.
Then Xu Sheng heard another voice telling him to close his eyes.
Xu Sheng agreed in a muffled voice, and at the same time moved his face up and down in the sea water to indicate his nod.
And then just keep your eyes closed.
Then Xu Sheng felt the sea water flowing over his face and around his back.
Then he finally got out of the sea completely.
A few minutes later.
Shi Niang, now neatly dressed, has turned back into the beautiful and charming lady in red.
She walked out again with graceful steps and stood in front of Xu Sheng.
"Thank you for your care during this time, Xiao Chengyuan."
Her cheeks were rosy, and she raised her white and tender hands to touch her long hair and said, "I, I'm ready to leave."
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
In the past few decades since Chengshou left, it was the red cat Shi Niang who had always been with Xu Sheng.
Now she is leaving too.
Xu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
As a result, Xu Sheng was the only one left among those people.
Of course Xu Sheng understood that it might be a little embarrassing because of what happened before.
So she chose to leave directly.
Xu Sheng would not ask to keep him.
Although Shi Niang is not Xuan Zhen's official Taoist partner!
At most, the two people are only slightly emotionally involved.
At best, she can only be considered a girlfriend in name only.
But after all, she has some emotional entanglement with Xunzhen.
Therefore, it is natural that Xu Sheng would not have any thoughts about her.
After all, Xu Sheng is a man who has lived to the third life.
He had many concubines in his previous two lives, so it is impossible for him to be easily distracted by beauty.
Moreover, Xu Sheng was devoted to the Tao at this time and was not thinking about beauty.
In addition, as a female demon, Shi Niang is indeed not suitable to live in a Taoist temple all the time.
There was no problem with her being a cat before.
But now she has regained her human form after all.
And now that she has chosen to leave, it means that she has recovered a lot of her magic power.
I am already confident that I can protect myself and no longer need Xu Sheng's protection.
After that, Xu Sheng just nodded and said, "Take care."
Shi Niang just nodded and said, "Xiao Chengyuan, you should take care of yourself too," then turned and left.
After she left.
There are still many people in the Taoist temple.
In addition to many ordinary Taoists, there are also some fellow Taoists who are truly practicing, as well as some new disciples that Xu Sheng has accepted in recent years.
But Xu Sheng is the only one left from that group of people.
Of course, after so many years, Xu Sheng has long known that practicing Taoism is lonely and desolate.
So it's okay.
After that, he continued to manage the Taoist temple while continuing to practice diligently.
Now he has reached the realm of Yang Shen.
Normally speaking, his next realm is to transcend the tribulation. If he succeeds in transcending the tribulation, he will be able to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
The power of ascension is irresistible.
Once you have attained enlightenment, you will be quickly led to ascend to heaven.
This was also the reason why Xuan Zhen didn't even have time to fly down and hug Shi Niang that day.
After what happened to Xuan Zhen, it was naturally impossible for Xu Sheng to survive the tribulation now.
Besides, Xu Sheng didn't originally want to pass the tribulation so quickly.
After all, that fake Guanyin Bodhisattva is still lingering in this world, and I don't know whether the little nun died in her hands that year.
Xu Sheng must solve this matter first no matter what.
If the little nun is still alive, she must be rescued!
The cultivation in the Yang Shen stage is actually a process of accumulation.
Although Xu Sheng has now cultivated into a Yang God, there are only two pure Yang souls in his sea of consciousness.
These are the two spiritual thoughts after the soul-splitting stage.
At the Yang Shen stage, one must continue to split out more spiritual thoughts and train them into pure Yang.
The more pure yang souls you have in your sea of consciousness, the stronger your Yang God's power will be, and the greater your accumulation will be!
It also means that you are more likely to succeed when overcoming the tribulation.
After all, the stronger your spiritual power is, the stronger your magic power will be, and of course, the more you can resist thunder.
This is also the reason why Xuan Zhen practiced until his body had aged a lot before he could transcend the tribulation.
Many Taoists are like this as well.
They will try their best to cultivate more Yang God Souls within their lifespan, striving to maximize their accumulation.
Then go and overcome the tribulation.
This is more likely to succeed.
But it depends on one's luck.
Everyone's progress in cultivation is different.
Of course, there are also some people who can transcend the tribulation at a young age. After all, the body can undergo a qualitative change after successfully transcending the tribulation!
Some people are more talented and want to achieve success at a young age.
When Xuan Zhen was undergoing the tribulation, he only had 4416 pure yang souls.
When Xu Sheng was still Xu Longsheng and met Xuan Zhen, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old. At that time, he should have practiced for about the same amount of time as Xu Sheng is now.
Because Xuan Zhen's qualifications are relatively not as good as Xu Sheng's, they are a little bit worse.
Moreover, Xu Sheng also has the internal strength of a half-step Martial Saint added to his body, which actually also slows down the aging of Xu Sheng's body.
This is why Xu Sheng has been able to practice for so many years and now only looks like a sixteen-year-old boy.
In short, Xuan Zhen practiced like that for nearly two hundred years before he finally cultivated sixteen pure yang souls, and then he successfully passed the tribulation.
Therefore, it can be known that it is not easy to cultivate into a pure yang soul.
The little Taoist nun in the previous life was also an existence at the final level of Yang Shen.
However, the little Taoist nun had the help of Xu Sheng and was constantly refining the dragon blood.
She has already trained the Pure Yang Soul to seventy-seven forty-nine times!
She was already very strong at that time.
It was also because of this that Xu Longsheng was already old at that time.
But the little nun still looks like a young girl.
At that time, the little nun did not undergo the tribulation either. One reason was that she did not want to leave that world or leave Xu Longsheng.
I want to accompany Xu Longsheng throughout his life.
The other reason is that he wants to continue to accumulate more pure yang souls and lay a stronger foundation, so that he will have a better chance of overcoming the tribulation.
By then, the real body achieved will be even stronger!
Moreover, she still looked like a young girl at that time and was not in any hurry to overcome the tribulation.
But she didn't expect that she would meet the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva before she could overcome the tribulation.
"Seventy-seven Pure Yang Souls are still not enough. Let's set a small goal and cultivate to ninety-nine pure Yang souls!"
Thinking about this, Xu Sheng was also thinking secretly in his heart.
If you want to deal with that fake Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must be stronger than the little Taoist nun back then.
Although this goal is not easy to achieve, Xu Sheng has the Book of Eternal Life after all. If he cannot achieve it in this life, he can just continue in the next life.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
Xu Sheng finally cultivated his third soul!
However, it has not yet been practiced to the point of pure yang.
Afterwards, Xu Sheng wanted to travel around the world, searching for some fairies to capture and refine to aid his own practice.
If I only rely on my own practice, without any external help, I don't know how long it will take to cultivate ninety-nine and eighty-one pure yang souls.
So he handed the management of the Taoist temple to one of his fellow apprentices and left.
In those days, Xuan Zhen was often not in the Taoist temple, or he would go into seclusion when he returned to the temple. This was because that was how the Yang God's cultivation was done.
In addition to practicing on your own, you also have to find some rare treasures or catch some monsters to refine, otherwise practicing on your own will be too slow.
This is also why some old Taoist priests in some Taoist temples always say that they have gone out to travel around and are no longer in the temple.
Then another month passed in the blink of an eye.
But Xu Sheng still didn't find a fairy.
Today, goblins are even more cautious when living in human cities than they were a hundred or two hundred years ago.
After all, ordinary humans now have access to explosives, pistols, etc.
So it is even more difficult to find fairies.
Xu Sheng didn't expect to find it right away.
He just travels everywhere.
When you arrive at a place, stay in a hotel.
Then spend a fixed amount of time practicing while looking for traces of the goblins.
Of course the Taoist temple is rich.
The imperial court did not collect taxes.
Various channels such as pilgrims coming to burn incense are sources of income.
Even if the money he brought was used up on the journey, Xu Sheng's martial arts skills as a Half-Step Martial Saint were enough to block bullets, so it was easy for him to get some money.
Of course, Xu Sheng already had a lot of money in his space magic weapon, so he didn't need to rob.
In short, I lived like this for a month, but didn't find any goblins.
This made Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown.
Finally, one day Xu Sheng heard that some strange things seemed to have happened in the mountains near a village, and it sounded like the traces of goblins.
Xu Sheng thought that most fairies might not dare to live in human cities now.
Those who enter human cities are very cautious.
He thought about it and decided to go into the mountains.
So Xu Sheng went into the mountains near the village that day.
Unfortunately, after entering it.
Another month has passed.
Xu Sheng still didn't encounter the fairy.
In the end he had no choice but to give up.
Don't stay in that area any longer.
Maybe the monster appeared here before, but has left now.
But then Xu Sheng did not enter the city.
Instead, continue trekking through the mountains and forests.
Crossing the mountains.
Because he felt that there should be more goblins in the mountains now.
Of course, he now carries a magical tool for sensing fairies, a demon-hunting compass.
The sensing range reaches two kilometers.
It was passed down from Xuanzhen's master's master.
In short, Xu Sheng traveled in the mountains for another month.
On this day, Xu Sheng finally sensed the evil spirit.
Then Xu Sheng immediately chased in the direction where the fairy was.
As he rushed over, the monster sensed by the magic weapon kept moving.
But Xu Sheng caught up with him later.
"What?"
However, when Xu Sheng arrived, he was shocked: "Shi Niang, how could it be her?"
Because one of the two goblins chasing the fugitive in front was actually Shi Niang, who had not been seen for nearly a year.
She was still as beautiful as when I first met her, dressed in red.
But her current situation doesn't seem to be very good, as she is being chased by a scorpion demon.
During this period, the two demons were still talking to each other.
Xu Sheng did not act rashly.
He just concealed his presence and followed quietly all the way.
Listening to their sporadic conversations, Xu Sheng roughly guessed what was going on.
It turned out that Shi Niang was practicing in the mountains and accidentally encountered this scorpion demon who was hunting some hunters and humans who came into the mountains for fun.
Use it to nourish a Tianyuan tree and produce Tianyuan fruit!
This is a natural treasure that is very beneficial to the cultivation of demons.
Afterwards, Shi Niang found an opportunity to secretly steal this thing and eat it.
So now she is being chased by this scorpion demon.
The Scorpion Demon angrily said he wanted to kill Shi Niang.
Then refine her completely!
In order to take back the energy of the Tianyuan Fruit.
Therefore, the two fairies, who were both stingy with their magic power, started chasing each other in the forest.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown as he watched.
Although Shi Brewing was not in danger of death at this time, his speed was not faster than that of the Scorpion Demon.
'I didn't expect that we would meet here after nearly a year.'
Afterwards, Xu Sheng secretly sighed in his heart: "Find an opportunity to take action!"
He decided to take action!
Originally Xu Sheng came out to look for monsters, although this scorpion monster seems a little strong now.
Originally, it would not be the target that some ordinary practitioners would choose to hunt.
This is because the Scorpion Demon is already strong enough to rival human cultivators at the Yang Shen realm.
It is very difficult to kill a monster of this level by throwing explosives at it or shooting it with bullets.
Unless you ambush a lot of explosives somewhere in advance, and then lead it there, and directly detonate a large amount of gunpowder when it doesn't notice.
That's possible.
However, if you want to attack during the attack, just throw out the explosive pack to attack.
It's basically difficult to hurt the other party.
For example, Xu Sheng will not be hurt by this kind of attack now.
Because the moment the bomb was thrown over, his spiritual power could fly out very quickly and cut off the fuse in an instant.
Even if a bomb is thrown at you and a spark is immediately shot out to explode, you can completely avoid it by teleporting.
It can also withstand bullet shooting.
If it weren't for being surrounded and shot at by a large number of troops.
The few sporadic bullets fired at us would not pose any threat at all.
Just use your magic power to push it aside.
If you use your magic power to kill such a monster, you will need to consume a lot of magic power.
Of course, Xu Sheng has a very yang body, so even if his magic power is exhausted, he can still recover at a fairly fast speed.
Besides, he had promised Xuan Zhen that he would take care of Shi Niang.
Now that he saw Shi Niang in such a predicament, how could he just sit back and do nothing? If he hadn't encountered this, it would have been fine, but now he had encountered this.
However, Xu Sheng did not act rashly. He still followed quietly.
Until the scorpion demon was about to catch up with Shi Niang and was about to fight with Shi Niang.
Xu Shengcai sneaked out from the side.
Xu Sheng let his two pure yang souls fly out of his body and drill into the two flying swords.
Two flying swords suddenly circled around his body.
As for the other Yin God soul that has not yet become pure Yang, it still dominates his body in the sea of consciousness.
At this point, explosives and bullets are of no use.
It can only consume some of the opponent's mana.
It can't hurt the other person at all.
What Xu Sheng has to do now is a sneak attack!
It is to take advantage of the opportunity when the other party has not noticed you to cause harm to the other party.
So of course he still used his own skills!
Instead of using explosives or guns.
Because the two pure yang souls have all been controlling the two flying swords.
So at this time Xu Sheng couldn't launch any other powerful Taoist attacks.
The only thing he could use was his martial arts skills.
However, Xu Sheng was still vigilant at this time.
He did not rely on his martial arts skills to attack directly at close range with his physical body.
Just kill with two flying swords!
After all, if he gets close, he might be hit by the opponent's powerful spell burst attack!
If the protective shield of a Half-Step Martial Saint is broken, he might die.
However, if you kill with a flying sword, even if the flying sword is smashed to pieces and the pure yang soul is destroyed, you will only lose your cultivation.
Of course, the farther the soul is from the body, the weaker its power will be.
So Xu Sheng's body was also nearby at this time, not too far away.
He hid his body behind a big tree and used his mind to control the two flying swords to rush forward.
It’s not like the little nun who used to attack by making hand seals.
That’s because the little nun practiced both Taoism and Buddhism, and her magic seals were those of Buddhism!
If the soul is used to control the flying sword to attack, when there are not enough Yang Shen souls, in this state, it is impossible to use powerful seals.
Moreover, when Xu Sheng traveled around the world with the little Taoist nun, the little Taoist nun had not yet reached the realm of Yang Shen.
Anyway, at this time Xu Sheng just launched the attack secretly.
The flying sword whistled and slashed, and achieved certain results, directly cutting off one of the scorpion demon's arms.
This scorpion demon has also transformed into a human body.
It just has a sharp scorpion tail behind its butt and some hard black skin on its body.
"Ah!!" the Scorpion Demon screamed.
It didn't expect that such a powerful Yangshen realm cultivator would suddenly launch a killing attack on it!
"Little Chengyuan?"
At this time, Shi Niang also looked at Xu Sheng in astonishment and asked, "Why is it you?"
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Xu Sheng said: "Let's kill it together."
"good!"
Shi Niang didn't waste any more words and nodded, then she also burst out with magic power to attack.
The two men attacked the Scorpion Demon.
But the Scorpion Spirit is still quite strong.
It was not killed in a short time.
He still managed to escape for several thousand meters while withstanding the attack.
Finally, he let out a scream of unwillingness and was killed by Xu Sheng and Shi Niang.
Then Xu Sheng of course obtained the scorpion demon's inner elixir.
“Got it.”
Xu Sheng also smiled.
The inner elixir of such a powerful goblin is enough to match that of a dozen ordinary goblins.
“Finally solved it!”
Shi Niang was also exhausted and panting at this time. She breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, patted her throbbing chest with her jade hand and said, "This scorpion is really difficult to deal with."
At this time, both of them benefited.
Xu Sheng obtained the scorpion demon's inner elixir.
Shi Niang obtained the Tianyuan Fruit that she had eaten before and escaped from the crisis.
"Xiao Chengyuan, I didn't expect that your strength has reached this level now."
At this time, Shi Niang also asked with concern: "But you also consumed a lot of mana just now, right?"
"good."
Xu Sheng said: "Although it consumed a lot, if I can refine this inner elixir, I should be able to make up for it and even make some money. How about you?"
"My mana is almost exhausted! I was chasing for too long and used up a lot of it. Just now, I used several powerful moves to kill this scorpion!"
Shi Niang said: "Of course, as long as I can find a quiet place to rest! After refining the Tianyuan Fruit, I will be able to recover and make further progress."
Xu Sheng nodded.
Of course, Xu Sheng felt a little strange about Shi Niang's frank confession to him.
After all, Shi Niang is also a monster.
She now confessed that she had run out of mana!
It means that she has no ability to resist.
If Xu Sheng had any ill intentions towards her, she might be doomed.
Of course, when she degenerated into a cat, Xu Sheng took care of her for more than 30 years.
There was nothing bad done to her.
It is completely understandable that she trusts Xu Sheng now.
Shi Niang then asked how Xu Sheng could suddenly appear here by coincidence?
Xu Sheng also recounted how he came here.
"What? What a coincidence?"
After listening to this, Shi Niang was also stunned and asked: "Is this fate?"
Fortunately, Xu Sheng showed up, otherwise she didn't know how long she would be harassed by this scorpion demon.
Xu Sheng also asked her, since she knew there might be danger, why did she still take the risk?
Shi Niang also confessed that she felt that her cultivation was too slow, so she couldn't help it, thinking that she could sneak away quietly, but she didn't expect to be discovered by the Scorpion Demon.
"No more words!"
Xu Sheng added: "Let's go find a place to hide and practice to recover our magic power first."
Shi Niang also nodded and said that she knew a very secluded place that should be suitable for cultivation.
The two people were talking like this.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another human practitioner suddenly appeared.
This is a white-haired old man with several swords on his back.
As soon as he appeared, he controlled two flying swords and launched a lightning-fast sneak attack on Shi Niang!
Shi Niang didn't pay attention at first.
I almost got hit and my face turned pale.
Fortunately, Xu Sheng acted quickly at this time.
Also control the flying sword to fly over to block.
At the same time, he drew out a long sword.
"Fellow Daoist, why do you have to do this? Risking your life for this monster is not worth it, right?"
The old man said in a cold voice, "I've actually noticed these two monsters a long time ago. I don't care that you just took away the inner elixir of the scorpion monster. Now I only want the cat monster! You leave quickly, and I will deal with the cat monster myself. But if you don't agree, I can only kill you too. You must have consumed a lot of mana to deal with the scorpion monster just now, right? And your Taoism is probably not as good as mine."
As the old man spoke, he pinched his fingers, exerted his magic power, and two flying swords suddenly flew up from behind him.
Apparently he has cultivated four pure yang souls!
No, in his sea of consciousness, there must be a soul dominating the body!
I just don't know if this is pure yang.
In this way, it is certain that his level of Taoism will be higher than Xu.
At this time, Shi Niang's face had turned pale.
Her magic power is exhausted!
Although she ate the Tianyuan Fruit, she couldn't digest it in a short period of time.
There is no way to restore mana now!
Xu Sheng had consumed a lot of mana just now.
If this old man insists on killing both of them, he will suffer a lot in the end.
But he can obtain the inner elixir of the Scorpion Demon and the inner elixir of the cat demon Shi Niang, including the energy that Shi Niang used to eat the Tianyuan Fruit.
It can be said that the harvest is great!
Therefore, he is willing to take risks and expend a lot of mana to do this.
Of course, the old man still didn't want to fight to the death with Xu Sheng at this time.
But if he could force Xu Sheng to retreat, it would be 100% certain that he would capture Shi Niang.
He doesn't need to pay much.
It can be said that this old man is quite steady in his actions.
"Xiao Chengyuan, please go."
At this time, Shi Niang also said with a pale face: "You don't have to risk your life for me."
However, Xu Sheng said nothing at this time.
While operating two flying swords to kill.
The explosive pack was thrown over.
Boom!
A burst of explosion.
A gun appeared in his hand, and he pulled the trigger directly, shooting.
Although these attacks failed to hurt the old man.
But after a while of operation.
The scene was full of flying sand and rocks.
Xu Sheng immediately reached out and grabbed Shi Niang's hand.
"Walk."
Just said one word.
He jumped up with Shi Niang!
He stepped on the flying sword and flew away.
"Little Chengyuan!"
Shi Niang turned around and looked at Xu Sheng in astonishment with her beautiful eyes shining: "You!"
Unexpectedly, at such a moment, Xu Sheng would choose to live and die with her without hesitation!
In fact, she thought just now that if she were Xu Sheng, she might choose to retreat at this moment.
But Xu Sheng certainly wasn't scared.
After all, he has a yang body!
The speed of mana recovery will not be too slow!
If this old man dares to be arrogant with him, the final result will definitely be miserable.
The reason why Xu Sheng did not choose to directly compete with this old man in magic power at this time.
It's just that he is afraid of the other party's flying sword skills and Taoist magic.
If the opponent's attack is stronger in a head-on fight, Xu Sheng may be killed by the opponent before both of them have enough strength to hold on.
The advantage of the extremely yang body cannot be revealed!
So it's better to just escape.
As long as you run fast enough!
This old man can only chase him!
Then it will turn into a mana marathon for both sides!
In addition to his extremely yang physique that can continuously restore his magic power, Xu Sheng's martial arts skills as a half-step Martial Saint also allow him to run fast for a long time.
In short, he just wants to exhaust this old man to death.
Wait until this old man's magic power weakens a lot!
Wait until he stops chasing you.
Xu Sheng goes back and kills him!
"You're given a way out but you won't take it!"
Sure enough, the old man snorted coldly and chased after them: "Then don't blame me for turning you into a pair of dead mandarin ducks!"
In his imagination, Xu Sheng had just consumed so much of his magic power that it was obviously impossible for him to maintain high-speed escape for too long.
As long as he keeps chasing, victory will definitely belong to him!
Moreover, Xu Sheng's behavior of turning around and running away also made him feel that Xu Sheng was afraid of him.
Even at this moment, he felt that there was no need for him to waste time talking to Xu Sheng.
No one should be let go.
It's time to kill both of them.
Get all the good stuff!
In short, at this time in the deep mountains and forests, the two sides were chasing each other at a rapid speed.
Xu Sheng flew wildly with Shi Niang on his flying sword.
With his magic power exhausted, Shi Niang could only stand in front of Xu Sheng and hold Xu Sheng's waist. After all, the old man behind him would also launch some long-range magic attacks from time to time.
Only Xu Sheng can stop it.
At this time, the brewer who has run out of mana may be injured if hit.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
The old man chased for a long time.
But still couldn't catch up.
He has begun to doubt his life.
He also consumed a lot of his own mana!
In fact, he had thought about stopping the pursuit many times along the way.
But like a gambler.
I always feel that Xu Sheng in front of me will run out of magic power in the next moment.
Victory is just ahead.
So he could only keep raising the bet.
Keep adding more mana!
Like a gambler with red eyes.
Unfortunately, 80% of his magic power has been consumed!
Xu Sheng, however, remained strong.
Of course the old man gave up at this time.
I dare not chase you anymore.
However, at this time Xu Sheng turned the tide and fought back.
Another round of attacks on the old man.
After a while, the old man screamed and was killed by Xu Sheng.
"Threaten me? What I hate most is others threatening me!"
Xu Sheng's last two magic seals completely destroyed the old man's soul.
He said coldly: "Comparing endurance with me? You are courting death!"
Afterwards, Xu Sheng collected all of the old man's space magic tools, flying swords, etc.
Xu Sheng was worried that it would be difficult to refine his future flying sword.
I didn't expect the old man to bring it up.
Of course, Xu Sheng was happily checking out the spoils left by the old man.
"Xiao Chengyuan, you, how come your magic power is so durable?"
Shi Niang, who was standing beside him, looked at Xu Sheng with astonishment and said, "Could it be that you are the legendary Zhi Yang..."
It turned out that at this time, she had already discovered Xu Sheng's abnormality!
