Chapter 22: Immortal Artifact: Three Realms Gourd
In the rocky mountain, a gigantic snake demon spoke in human language, its pupils were blood red, and it looked at Li Daoxuan with great resentment.
It had never imagined that humans could be so despicable!
Isn't he a Taoist priest? Shouldn't he try to save those people? How could he completely disregard human life and even use it to poison himself?
At this moment, it suddenly felt a little aggrieved. Who of us is the monster?
Li Daoxuan ignored its shouting and cursing. He smiled coldly and stuck five thunder talismans on the snake demon's bloated body.
The snake demon was extremely weak at this time. It wanted to swing its tail to attack, but it couldn't even lift its tail, let alone dodge.
"Despicable? A monster like you who kills innocent people and plays with women, any method is enough to deal with you!"
Seeing Li Daoxuan making the thunder seal in his hand and dark clouds floating in the sky, the ferocious snake demon finally began to get scared.
"Damn Taoist priest, you can't kill me. Do you know who I am?"
Li Daoxuan sneered and said, "Even if your father is the Dragon King of the East China Sea, I will kill you today!"
After saying this, a gleam of lightning flashed in his eyes.
Boom!
Five bolts of lightning as thick as arms fell and struck the evil snake demon. Scales flew everywhere, and flesh and blood were blurred. Its shrill cries echoed in the mountains, scaring away countless birds.
Five bolts of lightning struck, and the snake demon's skin was torn apart, and it was dying.
Li Daoxuan took a breath, feeling a little weak. His magic power was still too little. So far, he had barely achieved one year's worth of cultivation.
Once you have successfully become someone's apprentice, you must quickly find a way to improve your cultivation.
Looking at the big snake lying motionless on the ground, Li Daoxuan did not approach it. Instead, he picked up his Yuchang sword first, then walked to it and stabbed it wildly with the sword!
The sound of the dagger stabbing into flesh continued to ring out, and the snake demon's body trembled slightly, and the movement became smaller and smaller...
Finally, Li Daoxuan stabbed a sword into its head, piercing through its brain and completely ending its sinful life .
The next moment, the "Book of Exorcising Demons" in his mind burst into brilliant light, and lines of words emerged, more than ever before.
"In May of the first year of Zhenguan, a snake demon with the blood of an ancient black dragon was killed in Luanshi Mountain. The demon had been cultivating for 230 years and was about to become a great demon that brought disaster to the world. Now that it has been killed, you can get a reward - [Immortal Weapon·Three Realms Gourd]!"
When he saw the two words "immortal weapon", Li Daoxuan was shocked and an incredible look appeared in his eyes.
Immortal...immortal weapon?
A top-grade magical weapon, the Yuchang Sword, has already greatly increased his combat power. If he obtains a fairy weapon...
Li Daoxuan suddenly became a little arrogant. "Master Zhang Qianyang, why don't you take me as your master?"
However, when he saw the introduction of the Three Realms Gourd, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
Three Realms Gourd [Immortal Artifact·Remnant] (Originally a treasure of Li Tieguai, the leader of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong, and made by Taishang Laojun himself, the gourd can hold the three realms, nourish elixirs, attack and kill trapped enemies, drive water and fire, fly thousands of miles, protect the way and resist enemies. It is a treasure of the immortals, but it was damaged in the war, the spirit of the artifact dissipated, and only the storage function remained...)
Li Daoxuan frowned, feeling as if he had touched upon some great secret.
War?
What kind of war would make Li Tieguai, the leader of the Eight Immortals, unable to preserve even his own treasure?
Even Li Daoxuan had an astonishing thought in his mind: Is Tieguai Li really still alive? If he is still alive, would he let his treasure gourd wander in the mortal world?
After thinking it over, he decided to keep the secret to himself for now and then try to find out from his master indirectly later.
Longhu Mountain is the orthodox Tianshi Dao, and its founder Zhang Daoling is one of the four great heavenly masters in heaven. In this regard, Master may know more.
As he stretched out his hand, a lush green gourd appeared in Li Daoxuan's hand. It felt cold to the touch, with green vines lingering on it, but what was regrettable was that there were some tiny cracks on the gourd.
There was a hint of excitement in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
Is this the legendary magic weapon?
I saw the Three Realms Gourd shining with colorful light and surrounded by purple mist. When I inhaled it through my nose, I felt refreshed.
Li Daoxuan bit his fingertips and dripped a drop of blood onto the gourd.
The next moment, the blood was absorbed by the gourd, and a feeling of blood connection emerged in Li Daoxuan's heart.
Treasures are divided into four levels, namely, magic tools, magic treasures, spiritual treasures and immortal tools. Among them, only magic tools can be used directly without recognizing the owner, while the others must be recognized by dripping blood.
After recognizing its master, the Three Realms Gourd trembled slightly and actually disappeared into Li Daoxuan's body. As he thought about it, it reappeared and automatically hung around his waist.
Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and saw the space inside the Three Realms Gourd.
First of all, it is huge, boundless and almost endless, and secondly, it is desolate. The gourd originally formed a world of its own with infinite vitality, but now the earth is broken, the ocean is dry, and it is collapsing like the end of the world.
Li Daoxuan opened his eyes, feeling very sorry.
This Three Realms Gourd is truly a treasure of the immortals. It has its own universe inside, giving birth to forty-nine flaming mountains and thirty-six vast oceans. Once the gourd is opened, it can pour out endless flames and oceans that can submerge thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
In addition, it can automatically absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and produce elixirs that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones.
It can also be used as a magic flying weapon, able to travel in and out of the netherworld and over a thousand miles in a single thought. When the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, Li Tieguai used it to cross the East China Sea.
It can even trap enemies, or take itself in for defense. If you sleep in the wilderness, you can use it as a cave to live in.
However, such a magical weapon with infinite uses, now has only one function left in Li Daoxuan's hands, and that is storage.
Moreover, it can only collect dead things, not living things.
The only advantage is that the space is almost infinite.
However, Li Daoxuan was not depressed. Instead, he suddenly had an idea. He thought that the reason why the Three Realms Gourd could no longer drive water and fire was because the Flame Mountain Range and the vast ocean were gone. But if he thought differently...
Li Daoxuan was a little excited. He took out a first-level Five Thunder Talisman, stuck it on a cypress tree, and then summoned thunder.
With a loud thunder, the tree was struck by lightning and burst into flames.
Li Daoxuan pulled out the gourd plug and said, "Collect !"
The next moment, the flame on the cypress tree quickly flew into the gourd mouth and disappeared. As Li Daoxuan's mind moved, the flame solidified in the space in the gourd.
He turned the gourd mouth, pointed it at the snake demon's body, and said, "Release!"
boom!
Flames flew out from the gourd, landed on the snake demon's corpse and began to burn. Soon, the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, quickly retracted the flame, and touched the Three Realms Gourd happily.
Good baby, what a good baby!
Using this method, he can also control water and fire, but he needs to accumulate and store more of them in normal times in case of emergency.
"It's a pity that the appearance of this gourd is too conspicuous. It would be better if it could be more low-key."
Li Daoxuan muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the precious light around the Three Realms Gourd dissipated, and the color turned into gray-black, ordinary and inconspicuous.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered Monkey King's golden cudgel.
"Can you get smaller?"
The Three Realms Gourd suddenly shrank several inches.
"A little smaller!"
"Small!"
"Smaller!"
…
After a moment, the Three Realms Gourd turned into a very miniature gourd, only the size of a fingernail.
It is possible to continue to shrink, but it will consume Li Daoxuan's own magic power.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he began various experiments like a child who had a favorite toy.
He discovered that without consuming his own magic power, the Three Realms Gourd could be as small as a fingernail and as large as about three meters.
If the magic power is sufficient, the Three Realms Gourd can be infinitely shrunk or enlarged just like the Golden Cudgel. This also gave him an idea. Perhaps the real use of the Three Realms Gourd is to become as big as a mountain, just like the Fantian Seal, and then smash it on the enemy's head?
A gourd to calm the world!
Well, I feel a little excited just thinking about it...
