I rely on length to cultivate immortality

The shadow of the Confucian sage!

Li Xiuchang has always been wary of this person.

But after learning that the Confucian sage Shadow had made an agreement with the Buddha, Li Xiuchang also knew that the other party would not act rashly.

After all, the other party should not know about the Buddha's nirvana.

But at this moment, the shadow of the Confucian sage took action, making Li Xiuchang realize that his overly powerful performance had attracted the other party's attention.

He even went so far as to break the agreement with the Buddha and take action against me!

What Li Xiuchang is doing at this moment, whether it is killing a large number of shadows or closing space cracks, is not the first time he has done it.

The Shadow of the Confucian Sage had not taken any action before, which shows that the Shadow of the Confucian Sage did not care about these things at all.

The shadows can be resurrected after death, and can reappear after the space rifts are closed.

The only person worthy of his effort is Li Xiuchang!

"Perhaps my powerful strength beyond my own realm made him afraid, or perhaps the Confucian Sage Shadow discovered something special about me, such as the fact that I have no shadow..."

In short, no matter what the reason is, the conclusion is the same, the shadow of the Confucian sage is targeting him!

Once you fall into the hands of the Confucian sage's shadow, your fate will not be good even if you don't die.

The shadow of the Confucian saint in the light became clearer and clearer. There was no emotion in his eyes. He waved his hand and a surge of black air flew towards Li Xiuchang.

The speed of the black gas was so fast that it could not be captured. Li Xiuchang could only see the flight trajectory of the black gas after applying time acceleration to himself.

"Original magic?"

The feeling that the black energy gave Li Xiuchang was very similar to the original magic power.

Li Xiuchang had previously discovered that the avenue that the Confucian Sage rebuilt after abandoning Confucianism seemed to have reference to the original magic power, and the strength of the Confucian Sage's shadow came entirely from the Confucian Sage himself, and the means he used were naturally the same.

Li Xiuchang felt a sense of alarm in his heart. He didn't understand this black energy, but he understood the original magic power.

He was still clear about what would happen if he was contaminated by the original magic.

"Time stops!"

He concentrated his mind and tried to force the flying black air to stop, but it was of no use.

His time path could only work on himself at this moment. It seemed that its effect on targets other than himself would be discounted or even completely useless.

The time stop he had just imposed on the surrounding shadows was broken as soon as the shadow of the Confucian sage appeared.

Li Xiuchang understood that this was the result of the suppression of the Great Dao. He was suppressed in all aspects by the shadow of the Confucian Sage in terms of realm, level of the Great Dao and comprehension of the Great Dao.

When his avenue conflicts with the opponent's avenue, it will be weakened or even become ineffective.

Although you will not be affected by it when it affects you, negative effects such as time slowing down or time stopping will only make you die faster.

The only useful time acceleration effect was lost because he was fixed in place.

Li Xiuchang seemed to be imprisoned in the space he was in. He could move and fly, and use various spells and magic weapons, but he couldn't leave his current location.

The biggest function of time acceleration is to increase speed, but since he is fixed in place, he can only rely on time acceleration to increase his reaction speed.

For example, originally he had no time to react to the attack from the Confucian sage, but now he can still try to respond, and even has time to think about how to respond.

Stopping time didn't work, so Li Xiuchang tried to slow down events, but there was still no effect.

In the end, he can only try to turn back time!

He thought that he could reverse the black energy that was flying towards him quickly back to its previous position, and reverse the shadow of the Confucian sage back to the time when it had not appeared.

This time it worked.

But it's not ideal.

The reversal of time actually only had the effect of slowing down the black gas, which was equivalent to slowing down time.

The discount is too high!

Li Xiuchang then used the time reversal technique directly on himself, allowing himself to return to the time before he was controlled by the shadow of the Confucian Sage.

"success!"

Feeling as if he had broken free from an invisible shackle, Li Xiuchang became invigorated and immediately rushed towards the space crack.

But the next moment, he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

In a blink of an eye, he returned to his previous position, continuing to be bound by invisible shackles, fixed in place and unable to leave.

The time travel was forcibly stopped...

Li Xiuchang's time-reversal effect is only temporary and will recover after a period of time, but normally this process can last for a long time, but now it only lasted for a moment.

Because the shadow of the Confucian sage forcibly broke this effect.

At this moment, the shadow of the Confucian saint in the sky paused obviously, as if he sensed something.

At the other side of the space crack, outside the fairy shade, a young man born with double pupils appeared out of thin air.

He was standing right at the boundary between Xianyin and the outside world, with his toes less than an inch away from Xianyin.

Just lift your foot and you can step into the fairy shade.

"Senior Confucian Saint!"

Outside the Immortal Shade, powerful men from the four immortal sects who recognized the Confucian Sage bowed to him one after another.

The appearance of the Confucian sage here made them wonder if something big might have happened.

The shadow of the Confucian saint in Xianyang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand. The black gas that had been slowed down by Li Xiuchang accelerated again and flew towards Li Xiuchang.

The Confucian sage outside the fairyland took a step forward and entered the fairyland.

The shadow and the real body are respectively in the Immortal Yang and the Immortal Shade. At this moment, the Confucian sage has met the conditions for exchanging the real body and the shadow, and just needs to wait for the time of replacement to come.

At any moment next, the two of them may complete the exchange!

The pupils of the Confucian Saint Shadow shrank, and he said to himself, "You have already taken action, but the monk has not shown up. It seems that something is really wrong."

The Confucian sage said nothing, took another step forward, and came directly to the outside of the space crack, and stretched out his hand to reach into the space crack that was slowly closing.

The shadow of the Confucian sage disappeared instantly without even turning his head.

However, the black gas he left behind instantly penetrated into Li Xiuchang's body!

As the shadow of the Confucian saint disappeared, Li Xiuchang immediately regained his ability to move. The black air entering his body made him lose consciousness in an instant. His brain was in chaos and he lost control of his body.

But at this moment, a ray of golden light bloomed in the boundless darkness in his consciousness!

Golden light of merit!

It was this ray of golden light that dispelled the boundless darkness in his consciousness, allowing Li Xiuchang to instantly regain some clarity.

He tried hard to resist the influence of the black energy in his body and prevent himself from falling into confusion again. The first thing he did was to turn back time!

A ball of black gas was separated from his body as time went back, and Li Xiuchang immediately regained full consciousness.

whoosh!

He instantly drilled into the space crack, passed through the space crack, and returned to the fairy shade.

He didn't care about anything else and used time acceleration on the space crack.

He breathed a sigh of relief only when he saw the space crack close quickly and disappear completely.

The effect of time reversal is only temporary, and it will return to its previous state after a period of time. Li Xiu often relies on time reversal to remove the black air from his body, but it is very likely that the black air will re-enter his body after a while.

That was why he chose to escape back to the Xianyin Realm as quickly as possible and close the space crack. He was afraid that the black gas would chase him out through the space crack, and he was also afraid that he would be sent back to Xianyang again.

Fortunately, his time travel was a "simulated way" rather than the real way of time. It was not powerful enough to break through the barriers and rules between the two worlds and send him back.

Of course, if Li Xiuchang had mastered the real Avenue of Time, then time travel could really be time travel, and there wouldn't be any restrictions that could only be maintained temporarily.

After Li Xiuchang relaxed, he noticed the young man with double pupils behind him and said in surprise, "Senior Confucian Saint!"

After being stunned for a second, he finally understood why the Confucian sage's shadow suddenly gave up attacking him and chose to leave.

"Thank you, senior Confucian saint, for your help." Li Xiuchang thanked him sincerely.

The Confucian Sage shook his head and said, "If someone breaks the rules, I will naturally stop them."

Li Xiuchang's brain was working quickly, analyzing the scenes that had just happened, and he came to a conclusion in his mind: the shadow of the Confucian sage did not seem to want to be replaced in the Immortal Shade Realm.

Therefore, after the Confucian sage's real body entered the immortal shade, the Confucian sage's shadow chose to retreat.

What Li Xiuchang didn't know was that the space crack was still there. If the Confucian Sage passed through the space crack, it would cause the fusion of his body and shadow. This was the main reason why the Confucian Sage's shadow had to retreat immediately.

Li Xiuchang wanted to learn more from the Confucian Sage, but he suddenly said, "Come with me to the lower world."

"The lower world?"

Before Li Xiuchang could understand what was happening, he was pulled away by the Confucian sage and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, he appeared in another place. There was no spiritual energy around him. He had actually arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Realm.

Li Xiuchang used his spiritual sense to check the surrounding situation and exclaimed, "The demon corpse has escaped!"

He saw the demon corpse of the Confucian Sage, which had been sealed again by the Confucian Sage, appear in this world, and its momentum was even stronger.

The original magic power of the Demon-Suppressing Realm began to gather and was isolated by the strong men from the four major immortal sects. The corpse of the Confucian Sage carried half of the original magic power and was also sealed.

But at this moment, the Confucian Sage's demon corpse escaped, and gathered all the original magic power of the Demon Suppression Realm, and its strength was greatly improved compared to before.

When Li Xiuchang saw the corpse of the Confucian Sage, he was bombarding the boundary wall.

However, what was different from the last time was that this time the Confucian Sage Demon Corpse broke through the boundary wall with one punch, and a passage to the upper realm appeared!

"Someone released the demon corpse while I was in Xianyin."

The Confucian sage instantly appeared under the demon corpse, and a black and white chain appeared in his hand, which entangled one of the demon corpse's feet.

The Confucian sage pulled the chain downwards, and the demon corpse suddenly fell, unable to get through the passage to the upper realm.

The demon corpse looked down at the Confucian sage. A light flashed in its dark eyes, which turned into endless black mist that enveloped the Confucian sage.

Li Xiuchang couldn't see clearly what was happening in the black fog.

He didn't know what to do for a moment. The Confucian Sage must have brought him here to give him something to do, but the battle in front of him was obviously not something he could intervene in.

"The demon corpse's strength has obviously increased..."

Li Xiuchang was also a little worried for the Confucian Sage. Before, the Confucian Sage could easily suppress the demon corpses, but now that all the demon corpses in the entire demon-suppressing world have gathered together, it seems that it is not so easy for the Confucian Sage to deal with them.

Li Xiuchang waited for a moment, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

As time accelerated, his figure moved quickly, passing through a large area around him in an instant. Under the coverage of his spiritual sense, he could see everything.

"Just now Senior Rusheng said that someone released the demon corpse when he was not free. That person may still be nearby."

"It's him!"

In an instant, Li Xiuchang discovered the culprit, who was the shadow of Fu Yuan who had disappeared before!

He escaped from Xianyin at some point and came to the Demon-Suppressing Realm. He chose the timing so precisely that he chose to release the demon corpse just when the Confucian Sage entered Xianyin.

Li Xiuchang would never believe that there was no one behind this.

Fu Yuan hid in the dark, watching the development of the situation from afar, but Li Xiuchang moved too fast and covered too wide a range, so he was still discovered.

Li Xiuchang appeared behind Fu Yuan's shadow as if by teleportation, and Fu Yuan's shadow, as expected of a top-level golden immortal, actually reacted immediately.

With Li Xiuchang's speed, he had no time to escape, let alone make any defense, so he chose to counterattack.

The whole person instantly seemed to transform into a sword piercing the sky, and the sharp sword intent attacked indiscriminately in all directions.

The ultimate in kendo is extreme sharpness, which can cut through everything.

With the help of Li Xiuchang, Fu Yuan has recently made up for the sword-fighting insights he had missed over the years, and his strength has improved significantly, which has also caused his shadow to grow in strength by leaps and bounds.

The terrifying sword intent made Li Xiuchang change color slightly, and he did not dare to use the time imitation method to directly curb his sword intent.

He felt that effects such as time stopping and time slowing down could be broken by this sword intent and thus take effect.

So, to be safe, he chose to weaken a wave of enemies first and then strengthen himself.

The path of equality, all beings are equal!

Treat Fu Yuan's shadow as an equal to the insects underground and weaken all his abilities.

And make yourself equal to the Confucian saints in the distance and borrow a little power from the Taoist ancestors.

Weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself, and the gap between them will widen.

At this time, if you can calmly use the time imitation method to subdue the enemy, you will be safe!

All of this sounds complicated, but in fact it is just a matter of Li Xiuchang's thought, and with the help of time acceleration, it can be completed in an instant.

As soon as the fierce sword intent penetrated the body, it suddenly lost three points of its sharpness, and the next moment it was directly frozen in place by "time stop".

A piece of hilt appeared in Li Xiuchang's hand, which was the body of the Zanpakuto. He injected magic power into the blade, and instantly condensed a transparent and shining diamond blade.

Calling it a "diamond" is just gilding the diamond. The blade, which is condensed from the magical power of the Golden Immortal, is harder than most of the top-grade immortal materials.

Li Xiuchang swung his sword to cut off the fixed sword intent, and a giant Vajra image appeared behind him. He slapped down Fu Yuan's shadow that had turned into a sword and forcibly suppressed it.

After a while, Vajra Dharma Image raised his clenched fist, and in his palm was Fu Yuan, who was covered in negative effects.

The slowing down and stopping of time, as well as the weakening of strength, made it difficult for Fu Yuan to break free from his restraints.

He simply blew himself up, trying to escape by committing suicide.

But Li Xiuchang turned back time, causing the self-destruction process that he had just prepared to be halfway through to be rewound to a few seconds ago, and all his previous efforts were wasted.

Li Xiuchang took out treasures from his storage bag one by one, including sealing talismans, sealing array plates, and forbidden immortal tools...

Swish, swish, swish... Fu Yuan's shadow was covered layer by layer on the left and right, and soon he was sealed into a big dumpling.

Only then did he feel at ease to put it into the beast bag. (End of this chapter)
