Chapter 133: One million experience points, entering the Hedao realm!
After every death, he would review the reasons for the previous failure. This has become a habit for Lu Chen.
After carefully recalling the previous battle at the Black Lotus Sect's East Altar.
Many clues appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
First of all, among the four Jindan stage branch altar masters, the strength of the East Altar Master Rong Gongming is undoubtedly the strongest.
In addition to his cultivation, Lu Chen felt that his attitude towards him was also very strange.
Because he seemed to have seen the 'Little Immortal Sword Formation'.
Not only does he always stand at the weak point of the 'Small Immortal Sword Formation'.
When he later sacrificed the 'Sword Qi Green Lotus', Rong Gongming was well prepared and took out the 'Mother-Child Protective Mirror' for defense.
To know the actual effect of this sword formation, even he, the user of the sword formation, only has a vague understanding of it.
But Rong Gongming is very familiar with these things, which is obviously not normal.
Weird, this guy is so weird.
Combined with the conversations Lan Yan and Ji Ling'er had with him before.
Lu Chen felt that the reason why Rong Gongming understood the "Immortal Sword Formation" was perhaps because he had seen "himself" before.
It is even possible that you have seen him perform the sword formation with your own eyes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so wary of himself, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Especially when the other party has reached the third level of the Golden Core Stage.
Besides Rong Gongming, Lu Chen felt something was wrong.
Lu Chen was also a little surprised by the other three Black Lotus Sect leaders' eagerness to kill him first.
If I have to describe them, they are like a group of children who are eager to show themselves in front of their parents.
And the way they express this is by competing to be the first person to kill themselves.
"It should be me who attracted the attention of the Black Lotus Buddha..."
Lu Chen felt that only this reason could explain the strange behavior of the other three Black Lotus Sect leaders.
After all, even though he has many methods and amazing strength.
But before he took action, he looked no different from other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
There is no reason for the leaders of the Black Lotus Sect to think so highly of me.
Therefore, Lu Chen felt that they must have obtained his information from somewhere else, or someone simply ordered them to kill him as soon as possible.
This is why they were so impatient.
The reason why Lu Chen was so sure was that it was the "Buddha Mother" who gave the order to these Black Lotus Sect leaders.
The main reason comes from a piece of information on the game panel.
[You are being watched by the 'Ancient Compassionate Black Lotus Buddha Mother'...]
When Lu Chen first entered the Imperial City, he did not receive this system prompt.
But when he entered the Black Lotus Sect, this hint appeared.
It also made him clearly aware of his situation.
There was no doubt about it, the moment he stepped into the Black Lotus Sect branch.
The Black Lotus Buddha Mother noticed him.
And it was because of this that Lu Chen deliberately waited there.
I want to see how long it takes for altar masters from other places to get here.
One minute. This was the information Lu Chen obtained in exchange for a chance to resurrect.
He would use the one minute before several forum masters gathered to accomplish something special.
That is to find a way to kill each of the four altar masters of Black Lotus in the Imperial City.
In this way, he could gain enough experience points to raise his Qinglian sword intent to the Hedao realm.
As long as you have the Green Lotus Sword Intention of the Hedao Realm.
Lu Chen was confident that he could defeat Rong Gongming, a genuine Jindan stage cultivator who had reached the third Jindan stage.
Thus, Lu Chen soon began to challenge the leader of the Black Lotus Sect...
The Great Yan Imperial City, the Black Lotus Sect’s North Altar.
Xiang Guangsheng, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect's North Altar, looked at the mysterious monk who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Just now, Xiang Guangsheng suddenly sensed a terrifying sword intent appearing in his branch altar.
Although the other party's cultivation is not strong, he is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But this guy's swordsmanship is at an absurdly high level, and he seems to be on the verge of achieving enlightenment.
A sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who is about to enter the Hedao Realm.
When did such a monster appear in the Great Yan Imperial City?
You must know that this is the place controlled by the Black Lotus Sect.
Ordinary cultivators can forget about practicing here. It would be good enough if they can keep their original mind and avoid being contaminated by the ancient power of the Buddha Mother.
Therefore, this swordsman could only have appeared from somewhere else.
But if he came from somewhere else, why didn't he receive any news before? Could it be that all the Black Lotus followers along the way were blind?
Out of caution, Xiang Guangsheng's first thought after discovering Lu Chen was to let his men test Lu Chen's methods first.
This is to ensure your own safety.
But before he could do so, the Mother Buddha immediately gave a divine oracle, asking him to kill the Foundation Establishment Stage sword cultivator as soon as possible.
Faced with the Buddha Mother's order, Xiang Guangsheng did not dare to delay at all.
I had no choice but to walk out as soon as possible.
In the square of the Black Lotus Sect's North Altar, Lu Chen heard Xiang Guangsheng's question, but instead of answering, he said to himself: "One minute..."
"What?"
Xiang Guangsheng frowned, not understanding what Lu Chen meant by "one minute".
But Lu Chen didn't think about making him understand.
Because he doesn't have much time.
Sword formation... traps the immortals! As the 'Small Immortal Sword Formation' unfolded, the entire Black Lotus Sect's North Altar was wrapped in a transparent sword formation light curtain.
When Xiang Guangsheng saw this scene, he immediately felt extremely humiliated.
"You are causing trouble in my territory. You, a cultivator, are really tired of living!"
The magical power of the heretic... the bloody and fleshy tongue sword! Xiang Guangsheng opened his mouth, and his tongue turned into a long and narrow bloody and fleshy sword, flying directly towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen seemed to have known this for a long time.
He immediately raised his sword finger, and a black spirit sword suddenly appeared from behind him and flew towards Xiang Guangsheng's tongue sword.
And this black spirit sword began to change constantly during the flight.
And in a very short time it turned into a black dragon, which was very terrifying.
Seeing this scene, a strange look flashed in Xiang Guangsheng's eyes.
Because he discovered that this black dragon was neither a manifestation of artistic conception nor some magical power.
It looks like a real dragon with a body and soul.
But you want to deal with him with just a foundation-building dragon. Do you really think that he is a Jindan cultivator? Don't underestimate a Jindan cultivator, you arrogant guy! Thinking of this, Xiang Guangsheng immediately increased his spiritual power output.
Let his tongue sword be covered with a layer of strange purple venom.
In response to this, the black dragon formed by the combination of the Black Dragon Sword and the Dragon Sword Intentions showed no fear and charged head-on.
Boom! Just a simple collision.
Xiang Guangsheng's tongue sword immediately pierced through the body of the black dragon.
Then, starting from the head, the body of the black dragon began to break into pieces.
Finally, it turned into sword fragments all over the sky and disappeared in front of Xiang Guangsheng.
With one strike, he broke a special technique that combined the Tao realm and the spirit sword.
The power of the Jindan stage was once again demonstrated.
However, Lu Chen's Dragon Transformation Sword Intent was instantly shattered by Xiang Guangsheng.
But Xiang Guangsheng's tongue became less effective and he had no choice but to retract it.
But the tongue sword is just an ordinary means of attack for Xiang Guangsheng.
Lu Chen's sword intent requires a large amount of spiritual energy.
Not to mention that Lu Chen couldn't even solve his own 'body protection Dan Qi' until now.
After a few rounds, Xiang Guangsheng felt that it shouldn't be a big problem for him to take down Lu Chen.
But before Xiang Guangsheng could be happy for long, he suddenly felt a slight sense of crisis.
Boom! A burst of terrifying spiritual power emanated from Lu Chen.
A huge half-human figure with magical powers appeared in front of Xiang Guangsheng.
Xiang Guangsheng's pupils shrank, and he said in surprise: "Performing the Law of Heaven and Earth in the Foundation Establishment Stage? How is this possible!"
However, this shock only lasted for a moment, and Xiang Guangsheng soon breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it's just a sign of supernatural power, that's not surprising..."
But even if it was just a sign of supernatural power, Xiang Guangsheng still had to be on high alert.
After all, he had not forgotten the strange sword formation that Lu Chen had displayed at the beginning.
He had to act quickly.
Supernatural power...heterodox demon body! Xiang Guangsheng's golden elixir power was fully activated, and his body turned into a huge and ugly toad in a short time.
And this foreign toad that looked like a small mountain appeared.
A special poisonous mist spread out near the black altar of the Black Lotus Sect, with his body as the center.
Some mortals who accidentally inhaled the poisonous mist began to have their flesh and blood twisted and swell up in an instant.
Soon it turned into a disgusting humanoid toad and started attacking people nearby.
Toad Taoist Xiang Guangsheng, this is Xiang Guangsheng’s true strength.
If the foundation-building stage is to allow the cultivator to 'gather qi into liquid' his own spiritual power, thus producing a certain qualitative change.
The essence of the Golden Core Stage is to allow these spiritual fluids to 'condense into pills'.
The effect it produces is equivalent to a "small nuclear-powered engine".
In addition to bringing terrifying "power" to Jindan stage cultivators, "Golden Pill" can also bring terrifying "power".
It can also form a special "magnetic field" around Jindan stage cultivators.
This allows Jindan stage cultivators to create an environment suitable for their own combat, which is called the 'Power of Jindan'.
It is coupled with the 'body-protecting Dan Qi' unique to Jindan stage cultivators, as well as a large number of magical powers that can only be used when one reaches the Jindan stage.
The gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage is so huge that it is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference between them.
Only those who satisfy both the 'body-protecting elixir energy' and the 'power of the golden elixir' can be considered a true golden elixir cultivator.
A cultivator who only has protective elixir energy but lacks the power of a golden elixir can only be considered to be in the false elixir stage.
Similarly, there are the laws of nature and earth in the Nascent Soul stage, and the absolute heavenly communication in the Spirit Transformation stage.
These are special abilities that cultivators will have after reaching a certain realm.
It is also a symbol of different realms of monks.
Therefore, the realm of a cultivator is never imagined, but is the conclusion drawn by countless people after summarizing.
Xiang Guangsheng is in the true Jindan stage, so after he makes a full-strength attack, he will naturally form his own "Jindan power" around him.
What surprised Xiang Guangsheng was that his toad poison could not have any effect on Lu Chen.
You have to know that even if Lu Chen is immune to all poisons, he can be immune to his own toad poison.
However, his "Golden Core Power" was still able to suppress Lu Chen's perception of the surrounding spiritual energy, making it difficult for him to absorb and utilize the spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth.
But Xiang Guangsheng didn't see any of this on Lu Chen.
He even discovered that his toad poison would be instantly purified and turned into the purest spiritual power when it got close to Lu Chen's body at a certain distance.
Is it a special talent or a magical effect?
Although Xiang Guangsheng didn't know how Lu Chen managed to be immune to his "Golden Core Power", this did not hinder his next move.
Xiang Guangsheng took a deep breath, and a powerful force began to gather in his body, so that his stomach began to bulge.
Almost at the same time, Lu Chen's magical power also moved.
Fist intent...Shaking the mountain! The mountain-shaking fist intent displayed by the divine power is more powerful than that displayed by Lu Chen's body.
Looking at the "mountain" that is crushing towards him.
A hint of coldness flashed in Xiang Guangsheng's eyes.
You think you can hurt me with just the fist power of the Foundation Establishment Stage?
“Quack!!!”
Xiang Guangsheng opened his mouth and a terrifying sound wave came out of his mouth.
The horror of the sound waves was like an invisible tsunami that swept across the surroundings in an instant.
Wherever the sound waves reached, countless buildings were blown away.
Some ordinary people who didn't have time to escape exploded on the spot, turning into a bloody rain.
The most terrifying thing about this sound wave is not its effect on the physical level, but its effect on the soul!
This sound wave can vibrate the soul! This is undoubtedly very restraining for Lu Chen's magical power that only has the form but not the soul.
Therefore, under this terrifying sound wave, Lu Chen's magical power was shattered in an instant, turning into spiritual light spots all over the sky, and were absorbed into the special lotus above Lu Chen's head.
Before this magical power was shattered, the mountain-shaking punch was also thrown out.
What made Xiang Guangsheng even more horrified was that
The target of Lu Chen's punch was not him, but the Black Lotus Altar behind him!
Bang! With a crisp shattering sound, the formation shield around the Black Lotus Altar was instantly shattered by Lu Chen's punch.
Without the protection of the formation, a lotus-like building immediately appeared in front of Lu Chen and Xiang Guangsheng.
This lotus building is the core area of the Black Lotus Sect’s East Altar... the Black Lotus Altar.
The reason why Xiang Guangsheng was so frightened was that once the Black Lotus Altar was destroyed, he would immediately suffer a horrible backlash.
His cultivation level instantly dropped to the False Dan stage.
Therefore, at this point, Xiang Guangsheng had no idea that Lu Chen’s target from the beginning was not him, but the Black Lotus Altar that he was guarding.
This guy... came prepared!
But how did this guy know the exact location of the altar, and how did he know that there was a formation protecting the altar?
Could it be possible that he has been here?
Or was it that an insider provided him with information? Xiang Guangsheng didn't know which one it was, but he instinctively sensed the danger.
Because Lu Chen has been exuding a sense of weirdness from the beginning to now.
Whether it is your own reaction or what tricks you will use.
It seemed like this guy had planned everything in advance and had a plan in place.
The feeling that his every move was seen through by the enemy made Xiang Guangsheng feel cold all over.
How did Lu Chen know all this? It's simple, he earned it with his life!
Because this was not his first time coming to the Black Lotus Sect's North Altar, but his thirtieth time!
At this time, he not only knew the layout of the Black Lotus Sect's North Altar very well.
He could even recite in his mind the spells and magical powers of the Guangsheng Society, and how many seconds it would take for other sect leaders to arrive.
It can be said that he is the person who knows him best in this world, except Xiang Guangsheng! And at the moment when the Black Lotus Altar lost the protection of the formation.
Two figures immediately rushed towards the Black Lotus Altar at an astonishing speed.
Looking at the two figures rushing towards the Black Lotus Altar, Xiang Guangsheng became anxious.
“Stop it now!”
But before he could take any action, a loud thunder suddenly sounded from the sky.
Xiang Guangsheng raised his head and saw a thick thundercloud appearing above his head at some point.
The loud thunder came from this cloud.
Without giving Xiang Guangsheng much time to think, the long-accumulated heavenly tribulation... suddenly fell! Boom! This heavenly thunder was so strong and fierce that it shattered Xiang Guangsheng's body-protecting Dan Qi on the spot.
The remaining heavenly thunder penetrated Guangsheng's entire body, causing him considerable damage.
Although this injury is not serious enough to make him unable to fight.
As long as he is given some time, he will be able to condense the protective Dan Qi again.
It can even expel the power of thunder and lightning from the body.
By then, he would be confident that he could directly kill Lu Chen, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who had lost his magical powers.
But the timing of this heavenly calamity was too clever.
It was so clever that he could only watch helplessly as the two external incarnations rushed into the Black Lotus Altar...
"ah!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp scream coming from the Black Lotus Altar.
A golden light suddenly rushed out from the direction of the Black Lotus Altar and rushed straight into the clouds.
This golden light not only dispelled the strange gray fog surrounding it, but also brought sunshine to the imperial city that had not been seen for a long time.
Lu Chen looked at the golden light and knew that the two external incarnations he had sent out had achieved their purpose.
They destroyed the statue of the Buddha Mother in the Black Lotus Altar.
The balance of victory has completely tilted towards his side.
At the same time, inside the palace of the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.
The immortal coffin where Ji Ling'er was suddenly vibrated.
Then, the chain on the north side of the coffin that was connected to the Coffin of Immortality immediately emitted a golden light.
Soon, the gray copper coating on the lock fell off, revealing the original golden color of the chain.
Looking closely, I realized that this was not a chain at all, but a golden dragon of fortune.
In other words, it was a special dragon vein created by the golden dragon of luck! Although Lan Yan, who was outside the hall, was not clear about the situation inside the hall, she saw the changes in the ever-burning lamp on the north side of the imperial mausoleum.
I saw that the originally pale flame in the eternal lamp had been replaced by golden color.
Immediately afterwards, a special force was released from the eternal lamp and quickly covered the bodies of the ghost soldiers and generals in the north.
The evil spirit on them will soon dissipate.
What replaced it was a kind of vast and upright dynasty spirit.
Seeing this scene, Lan Yan immediately understood what was happening on the ground.
There is no doubt that Taoist Qinglian must have destroyed a statue of Buddha and his child, thus releasing part of the dynasty's fortune.
Although this dynasty's luck is not much, it means that the dark cloud that originally shrouded the Great Yan Dynasty... has been torn open! Thinking of this, Lan Yan immediately looked up in the direction outside the imperial mausoleum and said softly: "Master, whether we can see the light of day again... depends on you."
The Black Lotus Sect’s North Altar.
"Impossible, this is impossible, how can you have the ability to destroy the incarnation of the Buddha Mother!"
Xiang Guangsheng felt the power constantly draining away from his body, as well as the dazzling golden light bursting out from under the altar not far away.
Unable to support his alien demon body, he returned to his original appearance, looking ashen.
Even if he killed Lu Chen now, he would be severely punished by the Buddha Mother for his failure to protect the incarnation of the Buddha Mother.
Thinking of this, Xiang Guangsheng went completely crazy.
Because whenever he thought about the possibility of facing an ending worse than death, he was so scared that his soul began to tremble.
I must kill this guy. Only by killing this guy can I redeem myself from my crime! But Xiang Guangsheng didn't even think about it.
Without the blessing of the Buddha statue, how can he defeat Lu Chen when his realm has fallen to the false pill stage?
In the square, Lu Chen looked at Xiang Guangsheng who had regained his human form not far away, and knew that the battle was about to end.
Although there were only ten seconds left before the other forum masters arrived.
But even if it's only ten seconds...it's enough.
Rustle...
In the sky, a huge closed lotus slowly opened.
Then a huge spiritual sword slowly emerged from the flower bud.
After seeing this huge spiritual sword, Xiang Guangsheng finally reacted belatedly.
Make up for one's crime with merit?
He must first ensure that he can survive!
Run, run now! Because if he doesn't run, he will surely die! But it's too late to run now.
Under Xiang Guangsheng's horrified eyes, the huge lotus spirit sword fell from the sky and quickly submerged his body completely.
[You killed the leader of the Black Lotus North Altar, Xiang Guangsheng (Golden Core Stage 2/Seventh-Rank Humanity Golden Core), and you gained 350,000 experience points, Soul Crystal Fragment (Purple)*1, and the Outer Dao Sword Technique, Bloodthirsty Broken Sword...]
[Current experience value: 1.15 million]
Lu Chen's heartbeat quickened as he looked at the information jumping on the panel.
In total, he underwent forty-five resurrections.
Finally, he succeeded in killing all the leaders of the Black Lotus Sect except Rong Gongming, the leader of the East Temple.
That’s right, before this time, Lu Chen’s first challenge was actually the leader of the Southern Altar of the Black Lotus Sect.
And he spent twenty-five resurrection opportunities there.
Finally, he killed the leader of the Black Lotus Sect's Southern Altar, Duanmu Jinyu, and gained 300,000 experience points.
It also brought his experience value to the 800,000 mark at that time.
And now with the death of Xiang Guangsheng and the income of 350,000 experience points.
His current experience value finally broke through the one million mark, meeting the requirements for raising his sword intent to the Hedao realm.
However, Lu Chen did not have time to consume these experience points, because he had been locked by several Jindan stage magical powers at this time.
There is no doubt that it was other forum masters who arrived.
Faced with all kinds of magical powers that covered the sky and the sun, Lu Chen had no intention of responding at all.
Because all the means have been exhausted at this point, there is no way to fight back even if you want to.
However, Lu Chen didn't care about it, because it was just the price of paying his life.
With unlimited resurrection, he doesn't care about dying once or twice.
He'll be back soon anyway.
Then, that would be the day when he would take the lives of the four altar masters.
When a large amount of magical powers overwhelmed Lu Chen, his forty-fifth copy challenge... failed.
[You are dead...]
The exit of the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.
"Master Qinglian, Lan Yan is here... I wish you all the best."
Hearing the familiar voice next to his ear, Lu Chen sat down to meditate on the spot.
Lan Yan, who was standing by, not only did not find it strange, but she stepped aside with great insight.
[You have consumed 1 million experience points, and your 'Blue Lotus Sword Intention' has been upgraded to the 'Unifying Dao Realm'...]
As the Green Lotus Sword Intent completed its breakthrough, Lu Chen only felt that countless sword insights had appeared in his mind.
During this process, Lu Chen not only understood what the Hedao Realm was, but also understood the effect of his Qinglian Sword Intent in the Hedao Realm.
[Blue Lotus Sword Intention: Hedao Realm (Cannot be upgraded)]
【Effect……】
