Chapter 556: Lightning patterns on the palm, the body of a semi-immortal!
Boom!
Thunder continued to fall, striking Xiangliu who was spewing out floods like a rainstorm, causing him to scream in pain and close his mouth subconsciously.
Arcs of light flowed across its body, and a charred black color continued to appear.
Xiangliu's nine heads stared at the figure standing in the thundercloud, and then looked at the female swordsman with a sharp sword intent who could split the river and stop the flood. The bloodthirsty color in the snake's eyes slowly faded away.
It looked at the two of them with a very cold gaze, as if it wanted to remember it deeply in its mind.
Buzz!
The ground shook, and Xiangliu's nine heads drilled into the ground at the same time, and his huge body quickly disappeared.
As Xiangliu left, the brown flood on the ground automatically dissipated.
“We’re…we’re saved!”
Lin Xingzhou's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the clothes on his back were already wet with cold sweat.
Shentu Xiong and Zhending were no exception. They all broke out in cold sweats. At this moment, the three of them were looking at the looming figure on the thundercloud from afar.
If it weren’t for this master’s rescue, my life or death would have been hard to predict.
In addition to their gratitude, they also developed a strong curiosity about that person. The other party was undoubtedly a powerful practitioner who could ride on clouds and control lightning. To them, he was no different from an immortal.
There are quite a few cultivators in the Tang Dynasty, but those who can possess such magical powers are extremely rare.
Tai Wei also looked at the man with curiosity.
Boom!
A ray of lightning fell from the sky, landed in front of the three people, and transformed into a slender figure.
Her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, her neck was slender and beautiful, and she was wearing a purple dress. Although she was not as tall and slender as Taiwei, her figure was well-proportioned and delicate.
It’s a pity that she was wearing a mask of the Goddess of Lightning, which concealed her true appearance.
Tai Wei looked at this person, and suddenly felt a sense of danger in her heart, not because of the other party's cultivation, but...
Her eyes fell on Dianmu's chest, as if she saw something inside through the considerable mountains, and it was that thing that made her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
"The Lightning Mother... is the Zhelong!"
"I am not dreaming, I actually saw one of the four pillars of the country!"
"So powerful, is this the thunder method of Longhu Mountain?"
As people of the Tang Dynasty, Lin Xingzhou and the other two had heard a lot about the legendary experiences of Zhelong over the years, especially Zhurong, Dianmu, Erlang Shen and Tianpeng, who were known as the Four Pillars of the Nation. Countless monsters had died at their hands!
What is even more enviable is that it is said that they can often receive guidance from the national teacher. Although they are not master and disciple in name, they are master and disciple in reality.
Dian Mu ignored the three people and looked at Tai Wei, smiling and said, "Thank you for your sword intention just now, otherwise I alone would not be able to scare Xiang Liu away."
Dianmu has always been arrogant, and she only behaves well in front of Li Daoxuan. However, anyone who can be recognized by her will be looked up to.
This female swordsman is no ordinary person. Her sword intent is restrained and deep, without revealing a trace of aura. She has cultivated the art of concealing the sword to the pinnacle.
She couldn't see through the other party, but judging from the sword intent that burst out when confronting Xiangliu just now, he should be no weaker than herself.
Tai Wei released her jade hand from the hilt of the sword and said calmly, "Xiangliu didn't leave because he was afraid, but because he was full."
Dianmu was slightly stunned.
Tai Wei continued, "Didn't you notice that its stomach is a circle larger than other places? It ate a lot of people and was in a hurry to sleep and digest, so it chose to retreat."
The Lightning Mother said murderously: "I was ordered by the Imperial Master to come to support the front line. I flew along the way and found that many military camps were destroyed and bloody. It turned out that the culprit was this Xiangliu. Unfortunately, he escaped!"
If the Imperial Master were here, with the Five Elements Escape, how would Xiangliu have a chance to escape?
Tai Wei shook her head and said, "It's okay. Xiangliu is the most vengeful. After it digests the food, it will definitely come back. Then we can just kill it."
The voice was calm, as if killing a ferocious beast like Xiangliu was not a big deal.
Dianmu looked at her in surprise. It was the first time she met such a confident person. She thought it was a bit of an exaggeration.
Tai Wei continued, "The most urgent and important thing is to find out why Xiang Liu showed up and tell General Li Jing the news."
Dianmu nodded in agreement.
"I wonder if you are from a similar faction?"
"Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Dao."
Dianmu's eyes lit up, and the look in her eyes immediately became more friendly.
"So you are one of us. In this case, are you willing to go with me to the front line?"
Tai Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Will Senior Brother go there too?"
"Which brother are you talking about?"
"Brother Taichong."
"Oh, it's the Imperial Master. He has some things to attend to and will be delayed for a while, but I believe he will be at the frontline soon. After all, he is our pillar of support!"
"In that case, let's go to the front line together."
Dian Mu smiled and said, "That's right. When the national master arrives, I will take you to see him. Don't worry, I am here to say good things about you so that the national master can give you some advice on your sword practice."
Although the other party also came from Mount Longhu and was a fellow disciple of the National Master, there were simply too many disciples in Mount Longhu, and they had spread out to all directions.
Many people may not even go back to the mountains a few times in their entire lives.
In Dianmu's opinion, this sword cultivator should be a casual cultivator with a connection to Mount Longhu. After all, there were no traces of cultivation in Mount Longhu on his body.
The sword intent she just displayed was not the Taiyi Tiangang Sword Technique of Longhu Mountain.
When Taiwei heard this, she smiled slightly, did not refute, but just said lightly.
"Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Leave it to me!"
Dianmu was quite happy, as she thought she had managed to recruit another expert for the Tang Dynasty. When the Imperial Master came, she would have to praise herself.
Boom!
The Mother of Lightning turned into lightning and flew into the sky.
"Lady, no, Fairy Taiwei...are you leaving?"
Lin Xingzhou looked at the tall and elegant figure, the breeze ruffling her hair, making her look graceful and elegant, with a hint of heroic spirit, like a jade-colored, transparent divine sword.
He already knows it now, or has known it for a long time, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
They are actually people from two different worlds. The other party is not a man of the world, but a high and mighty immortal who would only appear briefly and come down to the mortal world occasionally.
Tai Wei nodded, waved and left a bottle of pills.
"It is fate that we have come together. This pill has the effect of removing hair and cleansing the marrow, and increasing your strength. I will leave it to you."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Xingzhou gritted his teeth and summoned up his courage to shout, "Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
After saying this, his heart was pounding, as if he was waiting for the judgment of fate.
Although he knew clearly that there was a difference between immortals and mortals and that their identities were very different, he still didn't want to regret it, because he had a vague premonition that after this separation, he might never meet this amazing swordsman again in his life.
Tai Wei paused slightly, and looked at him with her bright eyes.
"All good things must come to an end. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again. Goodbye."
After saying this, she turned into a sword light, rising into the sky like a white rainbow piercing the sun, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xingzhou looked gloomy and sighed deeply.
He stared at the direction where Fairy Taiwei left, lost in thought for a long time.
"Brother Lin, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. A woman like that is not something we can think of. Besides, with your looks and martial arts, you will have no trouble finding a wife."
Shentu Xiong advised.
Lin Xingzhou shook his head and said, "Even if there are a hundred or a thousand women, how can they compare to her?"
At this time, Monk Zhending stepped forward and said in a serious tone, "Brother Lin, I didn't want to tell you, but in order to make you give up, I think it's better to tell you."
Lin Xingzhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhending looked in the direction where Taiwei left, his voice very solemn.
"Brother Lin, do you remember what Fairy Taiwei said before? She almost got engaged to her senior brother. After going out to sea for several years, she always thought of that senior brother."
Lin Xingzhou nodded and said, "So what?"
Zhending looked at him and said word by word: "In Longhu Mountain, there is a great master who is unrivaled and invincible in the world!"
Lin Xingzhou was shocked and looked horrified.
"This... this is impossible?"
There are so many male disciples in Longhu Mountain, how can you be sure which one it is?
Zhen Ding continued, "Just now, Fairy Taiwei asked Dianmu whether the senior brother would go to the front line. Dianmu asked which senior brother it was. Do you remember how Fairy Taiwei answered?"
Lin Xingzhou's face turned pale. Nan Nan said, "She said...it was...Senior Brother Taichong..."
"Amitabha!"
Zhen Ding clasped his hands together, showing a look of emotion, and said: "The eldest brother of Longhu Mountain, his Taoist name is Taichong, and as far as I know, the disciples of Longhu Mountain call Taichong the eldest brother. Those who can call him by his name must have a close relationship with him."
Lin Xingzhou stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
Shentu Xiong also opened his mouth wide, as if he had eaten a big melon.
Fairy Taiwei’s senior brother is actually...Master Li?
…
Chang'an.
Thunderclouds gathered and heavy rain poured down.
Boom!
Thunders meandered across the sky and the rumbling thunder echoed throughout the entire Chang'an City, forcing the timid children to curl up in their quilts and tremble.
Some sharp-eyed people also discovered that every time the thunder flashed, they could see a figure sitting cross-legged in the clouds.
That was Li Daoxuan who was practicing by taking advantage of the summer thunder.
The lightning kept turning towards him as if attracted by a magnet. Bolts of lightning fell on his body, but were absorbed by twelve thousand glowing acupuncture points, transforming his body and stimulating some incredible power.
His blood began to take on a hint of thunderous gold, and electric light also flowed on his bright white bones, gradually turning into a light gold color.
Wisps of fragrance waft up, so pure and clean, without a trace of dirt.
Like the bright moon in the mountains, like the fresh breeze under the forest.
After an unknown amount of time, the surging summer thunder was completely absorbed by Li Daoxuan, and his transformation came to an abrupt end.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a dazzling flash of light flashed in his pupils before quickly disappearing.
There seemed to be some changes between his eyebrows and eyes.
He clenched the air, as if he was holding the universe, the sun, the moon, the mountains, the rivers and the stars in his palms. Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar all around him, and light golden blood flowed in his body, making a sound like the waves of a river.
All the energy and blood were concentrated in his right hand. In an instant, his right hand turned into pure gold, emitting dazzling light, like the legendary indestructible golden body.
At first glance, it may seem like some kind of magical power from Buddhism, but in fact, the two are worlds apart.
This is not a magical power, but he has polished his body to an unimaginable level, almost like a god. His energy and blood are like a furnace of the sun, making his body look like a golden body.
According to the records in ancient books, he should be considered to have achieved the status of a semi-immortal.
It implies that the physical body has reached perfection and is only one step away from being on par with true immortals.
When his blood and bones are all turned into gold, he will have the body of a human immortal!
If one can cultivate an immortal body before going through the tribulation, then the chances of going through the tribulation will undoubtedly be greatly increased. Even if one does not go through the tribulation, one's life span will also greatly increase.
It was also a coincidence that Li Daoxuan was able to reach this point.
He practiced the "Five Thunders Nourishing Essence Technique" to the eighth level, but found that the ninth level could only rely on summoning five thunders to temporarily improve the body, and it could not be permanently solidified like the previous eight levels.
In this way, it changes from a physical training technique into a short-lasting supernatural power.
Li Daoxuan once pondered how to keep himself in the ninth level state every moment and make it as natural as breathing.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could hardly make any progress. Before overcoming the thunder tribulation, the human body seemed to be bound by an invisible shackle that was as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.
Even a brilliant man like the old Heavenly Master had to settle for the second best and adapted the "Five Thunders Nourishing Essence Technique" into a short-burst method, and only in this way could he barely cultivate to the ninth level.
Li Daoxuan didn't dare to say that his talent was better than the old master's, so he could do nothing about it.
Until he was in Dengzhou, he forcibly intercepted the soul of Medicine King Sun Simiao, causing the anger of heaven, who sent down ten immortal thunders to kill him on the spot!
With Li Daoxuan's level of cultivation, he was seriously injured by the ten shocking immortal thunders. If he was hit by one more, his life would be in danger.
It was also because of that experience that he had an epiphany between life and death. His thunder method improved by leaps and bounds, as if his bottleneck was shattered and he entered a whole new world.
After returning to Chang'an, he did not go to the battlefield immediately, but planned to let this understanding settle down and turn it into his own strength and foundation.
The golden blood dissipated, and Li Daoxuan's hand returned to normal, except that there was an additional green lightning pattern on the palm of his hand.
The lightning pattern was inconspicuous, even a little dim, as if it would disappear at any time.
"My perception is still a little lacking after all, and the thunderclouds here are not enough for me to practice. If there is enough powerful thunder power, it should be enough for me to completely cultivate to the ninth level of the Five Thunders and achieve the body of a human immortal!"
"And this lightning pattern on my palm, I have a vague feeling that if I can completely solidify it, I might be able to comprehend a lightning magic that is even more powerful than the Five Thunders!"
"That will also be the first magical power I have ever created!"
There was a hint of anticipation in Li Daoxuan's eyes. By then, his physical body and supernatural powers would have a major breakthrough, and his combat power would soar again.
I would like to ask, among all the heroes in the world, who can fight against him?
