Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 364 Various Forces

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai did not delve into the issue of the two-day collision, but took this opportunity to ask Taoist Youkan who were the people fighting above.

Taoist Youkan also took this opportunity to explain to Chu Tai the famous cultivators in Central Yuanzhou that he knew.

He pointed to an old woman among the people around Taoist Wutai, who had an old face but was dressed in luxurious clothes and was operating a pair of hooks.

"This is Taibai Fairy from Jinguang Valley. She specializes in Western Taibai Golden Qi and achieved a fourth-grade celestial being about a thousand years ago. Her inheritance should be from the Taibai Fairy Sect that declined a thousand years ago. However, her inheritance system should be incomplete, otherwise she would not have collected Taibai Gangsha and repeatedly polished it with her own hard work to forge a pair of white rainbow hooks. You should know that Taibai Fairy Sect was one of the most famous sword fairy sects in the world back then."

"However, the White Rainbow Hook should be one of the most valuable Gengxin Gold Treasures in the world today. It has undergone seven transformations and is no worse than your Sky-Blocking Umbrella."

"Oh, right, before our blessed land was closed, I heard that she, with the help of Taoist Wutai, traded with the Black River North Xuan Sect for a lot of Northern Yin Mysterious Water, trying to make the gold and water coexist and make further progress. Now it seems that she has failed?"

Taoist Youkan, who was somewhat uncertain, muttered a few words in a low voice, then pointed to a beautiful woman wearing a green dress decorated with flowers beside him and spoke.

"This is Grandma Xuansang of Fangchun Mountain. She is a very rare and different species in Central Yuanzhou who has achieved enlightenment. In her previous life, she was a mulberry tree. No one knows how she reincarnated or how she became enlightened. But her Taoist temple Fangchun Mountain is essentially her original body in her previous life. Many plants on the mountain are her branches and leaves. Her cultivation is also considered first-rate today, but there has always been a saying that those who roam outside today are her incarnations."

"Because she has practiced for a long time, she has many magic weapons in her hands. As far as I know, the treasures that have completed seven changes of form and quality include Jiayi Qingguang Curtain, Qingyang Divine Sword, Jiamu Immortal Flag and Yimu Divine Needle. In the past, my master speculated based on the magic weapons she refined that Grandma Xuansang's inheritance may be related to the Qingyang Immortal Sect that lost its inheritance six thousand years ago, but the inheritance should not be complete."

Then, Taoist Youkan pointed at a man wearing a royal robe and standing on a black dragon.

"This is the leader of the Black River Beixuan Sect. I don't know his specific name. I don't remember him in the direct lineage of the Beixuan Sect. By the way, the Black River is located at the border of the Northern Wilderness of the Central Plains. It is an ancient man-made river that blocks the North Sea Xuan Qi from entering the Northern Wilderness. It is said that it was transformed from an ancient water god killed by a certain saint king. Therefore, not only a lot of North Yin Xuan Water has been deposited in the Black River, but also the essence of the water god left over from the collapse of the Shinto and the flooding of the four seas. The method also has many traces of the Shinto, and it is quite related to my Youkan lineage."

Taoist Youkan was obviously unwilling to say more about the origins. After a brief introduction, he pointed to the last young man who was wearing a Qiankun Taoist robe and driving a khaki ring.

"This is the owner of the Five Earth Island in Zhenyuan Lake. Although he specializes in the Central Earth Method, he is very good at using thunder. The Qianyuan Two Qi Divine Thunder can be regarded as a powerful divine thunder newly created by the side sect in the past thousand years. Once it explodes, it can dry up the veins within a thousand miles..."

"The island owner in front of me should also be a newcomer. The few people I remember cannot match him, but the magic weapon in his hand should be the magic weapon of Wutu Island, Xuanhuang Wuji Immortal Ring. That thing is extraordinary. It is an ancient treasure. It is said that it was refined from the Xiran left by a certain saint king. It looks small, but it can actually generate infinite things. It can also contain all the changes of the acquired five elements and play a restraining role."

After briefly introducing the allies of Mount Wutai, Taoist Youkan went on to explain the Shangyuan Palace on Mount Ziguang, the Qingyang Palace on Mount Yuanbao, the Qingxu Temple on Mount Heming and the Yuanming Gate on Mount Mingjian on the Emei side.

The common point of these four meridians is that they are more or less connected to True Lord Hunyuan.

Among them, the founder of Shangyuan Palace in Ziguang Mountain was a Taoist monk who believed in the Heavenly Official who bestowed blessings on the Shangyuan in Daluo Heaven. Later, he was blessed by the Heavenly Official and realized the true Dharma of Xuanmen. Under the guidance of True Lord Hunyuan, he perfected his own Taoist tradition and passed down the Shangyuan lineage before Yu Xiaju ascended to heaven.

Therefore, the cultivation method of this lineage is closely related to the immortal way, and is good at setting up altars and rituals, and has considerable experience in guiding the ancestors of the upper world. The Qingyang Palace in Yuanbao Mountain was directly the place where the Hunyuan Zhenjun preached in the past, and the people who first practiced here were instructed by the wood spirit Qingyang, and later they also achieved enlightenment because of Qingyang, so the Taoist tradition was named Qingyang.

What’s interesting is that the “Dadong Qinghua Secret Text Zhixuantu” practiced by Taoist Mu Jing, who inherited this lineage, has a certain relationship with promotion.

The Qingxu Temple further down has the furthest relationship with the True Lord Hunyuan, and is somewhat similar to the Emei lineage. Both of them inherited part of the Taiqing Immortal Law in their early years, and then studied on their own, and finally formed a system and constructed a heritage under the guidance of the True Lord Hunyuan.

However, the founder of Qingxu Temple is obviously not as good as the Taoist Baimei. The Taoism he achieved can only barely form a complete system, and has not been able to constitute an independent system like the Shaoqing Immortal Law. Therefore, the internal inheritance is quite complicated, and many inheritances are filled with a sense of fragmentation.

The last Yuanming Sect of Mingjian Mountain is a little special. Its founder had heard the teachings of True Lord Hunyuan many times, and later followed True Lord Taiyi for a period of time. This means that it has both the Hunyuan and Taiyi lineages, but with Hunyuan as the main one and Taiyi as the auxiliary one.

"Similar to the Yuanming Sect, there is the Tianyi Sect watching over there. The one over there is the current leader of the Tianyi Sect, Taoist Sanxuan. Next to him are Mr. Tan from the Tianxin Sect of the Shangqing Sect and Taoist Zixu from the Gaoxuan Sect. Both of them are high-ranking masters of the Shangqing lineage. A little further to the side is a celestial cultivator from the Zixiao Palace on Mount Taihe, but I don't recognize his appearance..."

"Next to the celestial being of Zixiao Palace is the old man Cangyu. He is one of the few descendants of the medical immortal lineage in the world. One of his cultivation methods, the 'Earth Zegu Shenjing', is one of the few classics that has been passed down from the Saint King period to the present day. The great virtue and wonderful Qi that he condenses to benefit all living things is also quite mysterious..."

"The person behind Old Man Cangyu who wanted to leave, Xuan Chong, was a casual cultivator who was confirmed to have received instruction from True Lord Hunyuan in the past thousand years. His method of cultivation was the Great Golden Book of the Three Treasures of Natural Gods of the Supreme Being. It is said that he was originally a hunter in the mountains. He met True Lord by chance during a hunting trip and was given the true teachings. He now lives in Lingyun Cave in Mount Taiwei..."

Taoist Youkan introduced more than thirty fourth-grade celestial beings, but this was only one-third of what Chu Tai saw. Among the remaining two-thirds, some of them concealed their aura, some of them Taoist Youkan did not recognize, and there were some who Taoist Youkan was very afraid of and did not explain in detail.

Finally, Taoist Youkan said to Chu Tai: "Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many celestial beings here today, but the number of celestial beings in Central Yuanzhou is probably ten times that."

"So many?"

Chu Tai was a little surprised. Taoist Youkan laughed and said, "What do you mean by so many? Don't you think about how big our Central Yuan Continent is? The land under our feet plus the surrounding four seas covers an area of ​​about 72 trillion miles. Without the guidance of the magic method and special Dharma, the light you emit in the east will only shine in the west after about three years. Such a vast land hides less than a thousand celestial beings. Isn't it strange?"

"Our situation is because of the serious influence of the Saint King Path, and many fourth-grade celestial beings were forced to ascend. If it were the other eight continents, it would not be surprising if there were seven or eight thousand celestial beings in each continent. After all, the less than one thousand celestial beings we mentioned earlier were only immortal cultivators. If we count the cultivators within the dynasty, the four major demonic paths, and the Buddhist path, this number should be around nine thousand or even ten thousand."

After hearing this, Chu Tai gradually realized the hugeness of the Dongji Chenguang Heaven and the huge number of cultivators inside.

He had previously felt that he had not met many cultivators, probably because the land of Dongji Chenguang Heaven was too vast, and the seemingly large number of celestial beings became very rare after being dispersed.

But in fact, even if it is only one in a million, the number of chosen ones in the Dongji Chenguang Heaven will not be small. This calmed Chu Tai's heart, which had been a little restless due to the improvement of his cultivation and the blessing of the cave heaven.
