Chapter 98: Journey to the Fire Region with Yan Ruyu [Seeking monthly tickets, investment]
Jiang Ming quietly returned to the Taoyuan Secret Realm Cave, met Yan Ruyu, invited her to go to the Fire Realm together, gave her two fist-sized pieces of mutton-fat white jade magic iron, and invited her to go to the Fire Realm to sacrifice her own Taoist soldiers.
The path of cultivation arranged by the Green Emperor, at least for Yan Ruyu, can enable her to cultivate to the quasi-emperor level in one go.
This is already good.
There is still a long way to go, we will find a solution later.
Besides, they are two different creatures after all. Even if they take the same path to enlightenment, their paths cannot be exactly the same.
For example!
The Emperor's weapon for attaining enlightenment is the green bronze tripod.
The ruthless empress also has a black gold tripod with dragon pattern.
Ye Fan also chose the only "vessel" as a tripod.
What does it mean if there are a few more tripods?
If there are more "lotuses", the same principle applies. It still depends on whose Tao and Dharma are more powerful. Everything depends on human efforts.
Yan Ruyu naturally accepted Jiang Ming's invitation with pleasure. Although she had the Green Emperor's soldiers as a trump card, such a treasure could not be used easily.
Besides, she had long planned to refine a Taoist weapon. The Green Emperor had obtained the Taoist scriptures, so he also knew how to refine the only Taoist weapon.
Yan Ruyu inherited the legacy of the Green Emperor, so naturally, she had been using the divine patterns she had cultivated to refine her only "weapon" since the time she was in the Sea of Bitterness.
One tool can break all laws.
It is indeed a very powerful concept, and the Qing Emperor also recognizes this point. There are similar explanations and views in the Qing Emperor Sutra.
Now, with the holy material handed down from generation to generation by Jiang Ming, it is enough for use at least in the early stage. I will look for opportunities in the future to see if I can get the ultimate immortal material.
On the way to the Fire Region, Jiang Ming did not choose to use methods such as sword light turning into rainbow, or man and sword becoming one to travel. Instead, he directly used the common method of traveling by immortal sword. He carried Yan Ruyu, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the flying sword, chatting as they traveled.
Yan Ruyu still found this way of traveling very novel. After all, when a Zhatian cultivator traveled, his entire body was usually enveloped in the divine rainbow light formed when he was in the Life Spring Realm, and he could fly into the sky and hide in the ground.
Alternatively, they could use the ancient secrets and methods that they had cultivated to make their way forward.
When the distance is too far, you can use the teleportation array, or engrave the array yourself to travel long distances through the void.
but!
Jiang Ming's way of traveling, with only 90% of his strength, was already extremely fast. Even the cultivators from the Four Extreme Secret Realms could only see a fleeting red cloud and could not see it clearly at all.
After the Great Freedom Sword Sutra transformed into the Great Freedom Tao Sutra, it became obviously more mysterious, and the changes in the cultivation system at each realm also became more mysterious.
Jiang Ming felt that inside his Nine Apertures Divine and Demonic Pill, there seemed to be an innate god or demon being nurtured, or it seemed to be similar to the innate Nine Apertures Holy Spirit that was loved by heaven and earth in this world.
Anyway, his potential now seems to be getting deeper with every breath.
Because he has embarked on a completely different path from his previous life.
Even the true energy cultivated by normal cultivators has become different.
The Nine Apertures Divine and Demonic Dao Pill he cultivated produced divine and demonic energy.
Even more, after he obtained the White Lotus Pure Fire, the lotus petal of his Universal Lotus Platform gained one more petal, and now it has fourteen petals.
Along the way, one needs to cross tens of thousands of miles of territory from Wei State to Jin State.
In comparison, Dayan, Wei and Jin were more famous because there was a fire area in Jin's territory, which ordinary people called the Flaming Mountain.
Jiang Ming was also aware of this name, as it was passed down by Qi cultivators from Earth who came to the Emperor Burial Star and saw this strange sight.
As for how the Fire Region came about and why the flames here, according to ancient legends, seem to have always existed and have never been extinguished, even when there was a heavy rain.
In the eyes of cultivators, ancient books record that the Fire Region has existed since ancient times, and no one knows how many years it has been burning, so it is impossible to verify.
After flying like this for more than half a day, they arrived at the Fire Region and saw this Fire Region that Jiang Ming had heard of for a long time.
It can be seen that in the area where the fire is located, the outermost flames are red. There is no nutrients on the ground to provide nutrients for the flames to burn, and there is no natural gas leak.
Even when Jiang Ming used his golden eyes to observe through the earth, he did not see any fire veins or magma underground. In other words, there was no material to support combustion. The flames here seemed to appear out of thin air.
The most famous place in the Fire Domain is that only cultivators above the Other Shore Realm dare to approach it and use the outer flames to refine weapons, because the flames here seem to contain some kind of mysterious power, which makes it easier for weapons to become spiritual.
In fact, the deeper the flame, the better the effect when used to refine weapons.
This is the treasure land that top cultivators love to use to refine their magical artifacts.
The fire zone only covers an area of several hundred miles.
"Let's go in together."
Jiang Ming and Yan Ruyu descended from the sky. After Jiang Ming collected his natal sword, the two looked at the blazing fire nearby and admired it quietly for a while. Then Jiang Ming spoke.
"Okay!" Yan Ruyu naturally accepted it with pleasure.
"Let's first rely on our own abilities to isolate the fire in the Fire Region, so that we can personally feel the power of the fire here."
Above Jiang Ming's head, a picture of gods and demons appeared, and turned into the size of an iron pot lid in his hometown. It dropped golden and black divine light, blocking out the red flames.
Then, Jiang Ming stepped directly into the fire area.
There was a layer of green divine rainbow light on Yan Ruyu's body, making her look as if she was shrouded in a piece of green crystal. This was the divine rainbow light that came from practicing the Green Emperor Sutra.
This is the color of the divine power she possessed after she cultivated the Green Lotus Divine Body.
Jiang Ming saw the beautiful woman next to him follow him into the red flame area and nodded to her.
A white lotus and a red lotus appeared in his hands. They were sacrificed by Jiang Ming from the Sea of Bitterness. They floated out of the protection range of the God and Demon Diagram and were exposed in the red flame area.
In an instant!
The fire inside Jiang Ming's two weapons, the white lotus and the red lotus, seemed to be revived all of a sudden and began to devour the red flames to strengthen themselves.
In this way, Jiang Ming felt relieved.
He came to the Fire Territory to practice and to refine his treasure.
Now it has been proven that the Red Lotus Karma Fire and White Lotus Pure Fire that he obtained can indeed devour flames and transform them into fire essence.
In this way, the deeper the flame is, the more benefits it contains. Even the mysterious power contained in the flame that can interweave Tao and reason will become the nourishment for his enlightenment and improvement.
Even though these two lotus flower weapons were just made by Jiang Ming, they both contained the "Trajectory of Dao" and possessed the posture of an imperial weapon. Moreover, their own materials were handed down from generation to generation, and the previous layers of flames could not shake them.
The most important thing is that at the core of them, there is a red lotus karmic fire and a white lotus pure fire protecting them. When the flame power approaches, it will be devoured and absorbed, becoming nutrients for the weapon upgrades.
In this way, they have learned to grow on their own.
You come out too!
Jiang Ming's mind moved, and the natal sword that had just been put away also floated beside him, being tempered by the flames.
What kind of character is this natal sword? It is a greedy sword that can snatch a copper coin from a beggar's bowl. It will not let go of any benefit it encounters.
As soon as it appeared, it immediately began to devour the surrounding fire power.
Yan Ruyu curiously observed the "weapon" that Jiang Ming had sacrificed. She also took out the weapon she had refined, which was a lotus similar to the Green Emperor's weapon.
Two branches, three leaves, and one lotus symbolize that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, and two gives birth to three.
"Jiang Ming, you have actually refined so many weapons. I have a secret method of refining weapons that I can teach you. However, please do not pass it on to others without my permission."
Yan Ruyu said so.
As she spoke, she pointed out, and a green divine light flowed from her fingertips, transforming into a Taoist diagram, which intertwined some scriptures and key points about the Green Emperor Sutra's unique ritual tool.
"Thanks."
Jiang Ming did not dodge. He felt the touch of the cold fingers on his forehead. He closed his eyes slightly and received the information in the Taoist diagram. The light of wisdom flowing between his eyebrows turned into a round plate like a jade disc, flowing with colorful Taoist light.
This process only took him ten breaths.
"Then, I will teach you a method as well."
After Jiang Ming opened his eyes, he pointed a finger and gently placed it on Yan Ruyu's brow. That was his method of refining his natal weapon, which was about the Great Freedom Taoist Scripture. This Taoist scripture itself would not be affected by the rules of any world.
Jiang Ming was used to using swords in his previous life, so he chose the sword as his natal weapon.
In fact, it is recorded in the Mahayana Sutra that it could also be other weapons.
He hoped to bring a different light of wisdom to Yan Ruyu, so that when she was refining her own "weapon" in the future, she would not rely too much on the Green Emperor's weapons, and could walk her own path.
Jiang Ming's Great Freedom God and Demon Sutra itself has transcended the constraints of the Immortal Sword Technique. Jiang Ming feels that the mystery of this technique is even more mysterious than the Taoist scriptures.
As for the specific details, he still needs to slowly figure it out and experience it during the practice.
Yan Ruyu opened her bright eyes and looked at Jiang Ming in surprise. She thought that the method she taught Jiang Ming belonged to the Qingdi Sutra and was very precious. However, just now, after accepting Jiang Ming's inheritance, she felt that the mysterious level of the ritual and refinement of the life weapon that Jiang Ming taught her was no less than the concept of "one weapon can break all methods" in the Qingdi Sutra.
Yan Ruyu couldn't help but look at Jiang Ming a few more times. This man, besides being handsome, had a tragic experience, was powerful, and was full of secrets. With so many factors combined, it was very attractive to women.
No woman can resist a man with so many factors combined, which will make them unconsciously curious, curious, and curious again.
Yan Ruyu was curious, but she also knew that ever since Jiang Ming helped her nurture the Green Emperor's heart, the two of them were destined to have an unclear relationship.
They are destined to become more and more deeply involved and closely connected until they are indistinguishable from each other.
They came out to the Fire Territory to train together. It was Qin Yao and Xiao Qing who instigated them. Those two little goblins had been secretly reading some of the human race's indecent books all day long, and had learned bad things.
Once Jiang Ming was not around, they would surround her and chatter in her ears.
