Chapter 422 Siming Fights Immortal Rhythm

Feilai Cliff is the location of the Xianyun Sect, a branch of the Taiyi Xianmen.

Shao Siming and his companions walked in the mountains, where they could see streams and springs, lush trees, and winding vines that looked like dragons and snakes.

"Be careful. The Xianyun Sect's cultivation method is similar to that of the Celestial Beings. It focuses on collecting spiritual energy and forging an immortal fetus. Each of them has first-rate spiritual perception. They must have been greatly affected by the collision over the past two days. The Wutai Sect came here to observe once, but chose to leave in the end. There must be something hidden."

Feifei and the others who followed closely behind nodded, and under the leadership of Shao Siming, they entered the depths of Feilai Cliff, followed the energy to a secluded cave, and when they walked in, they saw endless clouds surging and colorful clouds rolling.

Looking up, you can see the uneven mountains in the distance, with a flying palace on top and a long corridor that appears and disappears in the clouds.

There were also cranes and phoenixes surrounded by colorful clouds, dancing in the clouds and mist, making clear whistling sounds.

"This place feels a bit strange, especially the aroma in the air."

Feifei's nose moved, and he smelled a strange fragrance in the air, which was difficult to identify but describe.

The cat next to it sniffed and sneezed violently, then ran to Shao Siming and cried strangely, as if it sensed something terrible.

"It's a variation of Xianyunmen's Twelve Incenses."

Shao Siming sniffed and frowned slightly.

Guo Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Twelve-fold incense? There is such incense?"

"It is also called the Twelve Crazy Incenses, which comes from the medical theory of the Twelve More Ones."

Shao Siming saw that Feifei was also a little curious, so he began to explain.

"Medical science believes that excessive changes in the twelve emotions of thought, desire, affairs, speech, laughter, sorrow, happiness, joy, anger, likes and dislikes can make people lose their spirit, lose their mind, become confused, physically tired, lack energy, injure their internal organs, frighten their hearts, talk nonsense, become confused, have unstable pulses, become obsessed and lose their minds, and become haggard and unhappy."

"The Xianyun Sect's cultivation method requires collecting external spiritual energy and integrating it into one's own body. In the early stage of cultivation, people pursued peace of mind, so they incorporated the theory of the Twelve Young Masters of Medicine. However, although these Twelve Young Masters are for health preservation and life extension, they are of no benefit to the subsequent cultivation of the Immortal Fetus, so they specially cultivated the Twelve More Incenses."

"This incense can make people feel twelve kinds of emotions such as thinking and remembering, and be affected by twelve kinds of influences such as mental fatigue, mental dispersion, and mental confusion. However, the fragrance here has obviously mutated, hiding the twelve kinds of emotions under the boundless holiness, secretly wearing away people's mental strength."

As soon as Shao Siming finished speaking, a scolding sounded.

"Who dares to speak nonsense? Don't you know that this is the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fairyland? Where does the evil fragrance that destroys people's spirits come from?"

The sound was loud and powerful. Looking up, I saw a divine man in golden armor standing on one side. He was emitting light all over his body, but he was holding a magic weapon that looked like a bowl in his hand, which seemed a bit out of place.

Guo Shan respected Chu Tai very much, and he also respected Shao Siming. Seeing that the other party was speaking rudely and looking at Shao Siming with contempt, he suddenly became a little angry and asked, "Who do you think you are? How can you speak like that?"

"How dare you! I am a cultivator from Mount Wutai. After three hundred years of hard practice, I have accumulated 48,000 merits, which has enabled me to ascend to the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fairyland. I am ranked among the immortals and guard here. Who are you, the monsters? How dare you speak so arrogantly and insult the immortals! Why don't you surrender!"

The god flew into a rage upon hearing that. He raised the bowl in his hand, turned it upside down, pointed it at Guo Shan, and chanted a secret mantra.

In an instant, boundless golden light shot out from the bowl, first spreading out in all directions, and then turning into a vortex, sucking inward, trying to take Guo Shan in.

Upon seeing this, Shao Siming stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers. A spiritual light emanated from his fingertips, which turned into five light pillars that flew into the air. They converged inwards to form clouds and blocked the golden light. Then the dragon-tiger hook flew out and strangled the divine man.

"How dare you!" The god was furious. Hundreds of phantom talismans appeared on his golden armor, forming a golden light to protect himself. At the same time, the incantation in his mouth changed, and a fire was emitted from the bowl.

It transformed into a blazing fire wave, rolling down. Wherever it passed, the air twisted and tumbled like boiling water.

Shao Siming didn't even look at it. He pinched the fire-proof technique and waved his hand. A red glow rose up, and the raging flames quickly disappeared, eventually turning into sparks and disappearing. The golden light constructed by hundreds of talismans had no ability to resist the dragon-tiger hook and was directly crushed into golden dust all over the sky.

As for the god himself, he was split into two, with many golden lights flying inside trying to heal himself.

Shao Siming stepped forward and waved the purple bamboo branch. The sound of the tide surged, breaking the light and revealing the dirt and organ fragments inside.

"Why is my divine body filled with rotten mud organs..."

The god who was still struggling suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and horror, and then streaks of blood with a pungent smell of blood appeared on his body, and wisps of black mist gradually emerged from his body, and his broken organs also grew flesh and blood intertwined together.

Compared to his original god-like appearance, he now looked like a devil being tortured in hell.

"what happened to him?"

Feifei was a little surprised, and hurriedly took out her magic weapon and stepped forward. The cat became even more furious, and suddenly jumped up, turning into a ten-foot-long figure to protect Shao Siming behind him.

Wu Chaoxi and Guo Shan also used their magic weapons to attack, but were stopped by Shao Siming.

"There are foreign laws and principles intertwined in his body, so don't disrupt the balance."

As he spoke, Shao Siming threw out the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring, stretched out a finger from it, lowered down a clear light, devoured the flesh and blood, internal organs, black air and rotten mud, extracted two points of spiritual light and took them away.

Shao Siming stopped where he was and waited for a moment before he began to explain the reason under the worried gazes of Guo Shan and the others.

“At that time, the Xianyun Sect was eroded by the laws and principles of the foreign land, and problems arose in its internal Taoism. However, they used Lingyun Xiantai to imprison the laws and principles of the foreign land, which led to everything we see now.”

"As for the Twelve Incenses, they should be the means they use to stabilize themselves and eliminate foreign monks. They can affect you silently, so you must not be careless."

When saying this, Shao Siming glanced at Guo Shan, and his meaning was very clear.

Guo Shan, aware of his own problems, nodded hurriedly. Shao Siming continued, "Just watch the rest of the battle, don't interfere too much, pay attention to my methods, so that when you encounter similar situations in the future, you will know how to deal with them correctly."

As she spoke, she took the lead and charged in. There was a shining light along the way. There were flying jade maidens, the moon palace goddess, golden-armored immortal generals, and guardian golden boys. Each of them showed many wonderful appearances and held many magic weapons in their hands, trying to stop Shao Siming.

Some of these beings are real and some are fake. Some are just magic tricks combined with puppets and paper figures to build guardians, some are the products of alienated cultivators, and some are alienated immortal fetuses and divine bodies made by outsiders who had their internal organs dug out and stuffed into clay sculptures. For these beings, the weak ones are directly crushed with the dragon and tiger hooks, and a few points of spiritual light are absorbed from the puppets and paper figures and stored in the purple bamboo branches to enhance the strong men and Taoist soldiers among them.

The more powerful cultivators, or immortal bodies, are used as demonstration tools to warn Guo Shan and others how to deal with such problems.

The group walked and stopped from time to time, and in half a day they reached the core of Xianyun Sect.

This place has turned into a floating palace, guarded on both sides by divine soldiers and heavenly generals, with celestial maidens dancing and scattering flowers. It is very gorgeous, but the aura of these people changes constantly, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake.

Before Shao Siming and the others entered, they heard a shout: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Heavenly Palace?"

As they were speaking, eight female fairies flew out from all directions, six of them with musical instruments hanging beside them, including the Balang Yu, the Yunhe Sheng, the Kunting Bell, the Zhenling Reed, the Five Spirits Stone and the Dongting Chime. Two of them sang, stirring up the Qi of the Nine Heavens and vibrating the Breath of the Yuan Ling.

Shao Siming stepped forward, waving the purple bamboo branch in his hand. The sound of the tide surged, and the vital energy turned into waves, spreading in all directions.

The eight female fairies' faces changed slightly, and the leader shouted: "The method of Nanhai Chaoyin turned out to be the method of Guanyin Bodhisattva. No wonder they are so bold, but we are not ordinary people either, watch out!"

As they spoke, the Eight Immortals changed their positions, flying up and down according to the changes of the Eight Trigrams. Bursts of wonderful sounds rang out, and countless colorful flowers fell, bursts of fragrant mist rose, trying to suppress the changing tide of sound.

The exotic flowers and plants around were also growing and spreading rapidly, forming nodes all around, trying to build a protective formation.

Most of these nodes had just taken shape when they were crushed by the Dragon-Tiger Hook, but these exotic flowers and plants grew incredibly fast. They disappeared one second and popped up again the next. No matter how fast the Dragon-Tiger Hook flew, it was still a little slower than the growth of plants.

Moreover, as the Dragon-Tiger Hook cut through more and more grass and trees, the precious light on it was stained with a faint blood color and flashed with an eerie glow.

"Are they secretly contaminating the Dragon Tiger Hook?"

Guo Shan saw something was wrong and wanted to step forward to help, but Wu Chaoxi grabbed him and whispered, "Don't forget Shao Siming's previous order!"

"But!"

Guo Shan wanted to struggle, but Feifei stepped forward to stop him. He also reached out and grabbed the cat that wanted to jump out, and grabbed its neck tightly, saying, "You don't even want to listen to Shao Siming's words?"

The cat's limbs were hanging in the air and it kept struggling. It tried to change its shape several times, but was stopped by Feifei each time.

While they were arguing, Shao Siming was also knocked back two steps by the two female fairies using the Five Spirit Stones and the Kunting Bell.

She turned around and looked at the eight female fairies, and said with a smile, "The Eight Music Fairies of Kunlun? I remember that these are the eight most complete inheritances recorded in Xianyun Sect. You eight are guarding the gate here, I wonder who is inside?"

In response to Shao Siming, the sky was filled with lightning driven by the Zhenling Spring. Shao Siming moved in one step to avoid the thunderbolt. The dragon and tiger hook flew back, and the two-phase ring flew out and intertwined in the air. Just when he was about to create space to ask Chu Tai for help, an arm stretched out from the void, holding a golden hairpin on it, and pointed it at the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring.

The light condensed on the golden hairpin, easily breaking through the void, distorting everything, and shaking the channel constructed by the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring.

But in the next second, the magic power of [One] enveloped Shao Siming, and Chu Tai's power overlapped with Shao Siming. With a wave of the purple bamboo branch, the sound of the tide surged, and the black and white aura faintly emerged inside, which directly repelled the eight fairies.

But the eight people were not simple either. As soon as they stood firm, they played the instruments in their hands and changed the songs they sang.

One played the scene of starving people everywhere, one sang praises to the prosperity of the dynasty, one played the sound of Sanskrit Zen, one played the music of immortals and Taoism, one played the scene of a carefree child, and one played the scene of an elderly person in his twilight years. Eight different tunes and eight different scenes were blended together and yet separated from each other when played by eight people. The listeners felt very uncomfortable and almost wanted to vomit blood.

But it was not difficult for Chu Tai to unify Shao Siming with him to resist these forces. Chu Tai, whose mind was under the Donghuang Bell, simply ignored these attacks.

Under Chu Tai's control, the dragon-tiger hook held the golden hairpin, and the two-phase rings intertwined, allowing the power of the Liangyi Qingning fan to emerge.

Unlike the previous imitation of the purple bamboo branch, the black and white qi that emerged this time directly fanned away the Eight Music Immortals, revealing the essence of the alienated cultivator within.

At the same time, the leader of the Xianyun Sect in the Heavenly Palace was forced out.

A woman wearing a luxurious golden phoenix robe and an emperor's cloud crown. She has a pretty face but exudes an air of decadence.

She stretched out her hand and the golden hairpin caught by the dragon-tiger hook flew back into her hand. She looked at Shao Siming intently and whispered, "Taiyi Erxiang Ring, Liangyi Qingning Fan? I didn't expect to see someone from the Jinhua Sect today? But why did you attack our people?"

Looking at the woman's jade-white complexion, her metallic-luster hair, and her essence that contained a rotten aura, Shao Siming and Chu Tai both realized something was wrong and asked, "You actually chose to completely accept the influence of the fragments of the exotic Dao Fruit?"

"What influence of the fragments of the Dao fruit from a foreign land? It was clearly me who realized the righteous Dharma of the Taiyi Patriarch, realized the most superior immortal Dharma, and opened up a new world in the Dao field. I see that your Jinhua Sect has also realized something and walked out of your own path."

As he spoke, Sect Leader Xianyun looked at Feifei and the others behind Shao Siming, and he obviously felt the talismans in their bodies that came from the Dao Fruit fragments.

The more he watched, the more amazed the Xianyun Sect leader was, and he even began to justify himself: "I see, you actually took this path, which is indeed more perfect than ours. It's a pity that the integration is not sufficient, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to go further."

"So, this is why you think that our Xianyun Sect has not found the right way and has lost control?"

As he spoke, several rays of light appeared under the Xianyun Sect Leader, and they repaired the Eight Joyful Immortals one by one. He said with emotion, "Compared to your completeness, apart from the Eight Immortals, the rest of us are really not that good. How about this, we exchange our cultivation methods, how about that?"

Seeing that Sect Leader Xianyun sincerely wanted to communicate with them, Feifei and the others couldn't help but reveal slightly horrified expressions.

They could see that the cultivation level of the Xianyun Sect Leader in front of them was not low and was already close to the level of a fourth-grade celestial being.

But such a master was still distorted into this state by the fragments of the foreign Dao fruit. This caused several young cultivators who mastered the talismans derived from the Dao fruit fragments to feel a little bit of fear, as well as even more admiration for Chu Tai.

Chu Tai sighed, stretched out his hand, and the nine-section staff flew out from the two-phase ring. Shao Siming took it in his hand and struck it at the head of Xianyun.

"Why?"

The head of Xianyun released a rosy glow to protect herself and seemed to want to ask another question, but Shao Siming's attack fell again. She could only avoid the attack temporarily. Her face gradually became distorted and she began to talk to herself again.

"I see. The Wutai sect monks were yours before, but you didn't want to cooperate and wanted to keep the inheritance for yourself."
