Chapter 436: Four Paths and Four True Lords

"Of course there are some, but it's not easy for you to take them away."

Master Mi Zang looked around and said, "My connection with Yantian Sect was not just a brief contact caused by the two-day collision. Long before the two-day collision, the predecessors of Yantian Sect had followed Master Taiyi and traveled back and forth for two days. It was also at that time that I separated my incarnation and came to this world."

"I have deduced many methods with many cultivators of the Yantian Sect. For example, the darkness around us is the result of our initial exploration of the Way of the Netherworld."

The Secret Treasure Master gently stroked the bones, stone slabs, bronze tripods, stone pillars, silk cloth, bamboo slips, paper, parchment scrolls and other objects around him and sighed.

"Although part of my memory was cut off along with the sword of Jade Calendar Master, I roughly remember that I had an agreement with the cultivators of Yantian Sect that anyone who wants to take away the inheritance from this place must solve the passage under the cave that connects to the Pure and Eternal Blessing Heaven."

"Is there a passage below that leads to the Immortal Manifestation Heaven?"

Shao Siming's eyes widened, and then he thought of a possibility.

"Is it because of the Way of the Netherworld?"

"It's not just the principles of Youtian. My name is Mizang. My cultivation path involves concepts such as mystery, hiding, history, treasure, reality, and cosmic light. When I was slashed with my memory by Yuli Zhenjun, the power of these Dao fruits overlapped with Youtian's Dao, forming this night veil that obscured information."

The Secret Treasure Master looked down from the many things recording information: "This kind of cover is not only for the Yantian Sect Cave Heaven, but also for the passage over to the Pure and Eternal Bliss Heaven."

His eyes moved upwards again, landing on the bone fragments, stone slabs, and bronze tripod, and he smiled and said, "At the same time, the information flowing over there will be absorbed and precipitated by this dark night sky and recorded on these things. If you had analyzed it directly just now, you would have been very likely to face some of the secrets of the Pure and Eternal Blessing Heaven."

Hearing this, Shao Siming couldn't help but recall a piece of information he knew in the past.

In fact, both parties hoped to communicate, but there was a problem in the last two days of communication, which led to the disaster of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

When the luck of the two days really starts to flow, Taiyi Zhenjun's achievements in the future will be higher than they are now.

'So, this passage under the Yantian Sect is also a manifestation of this tendency?'

Shao Siming's idea was the same as Chu Tai's. He pondered for a while and asked Shao Siming how to solve the problem of this passage.

"The solution is actually not difficult. As long as someone enters it and unties the connection between the two days, it will be fine. There are three specific solutions. One is to integrate the small world in this passage into the cave heaven of Yantian Sect, one is to make it dissipate into nothingness, and the other is to make it return to the pure and eternal heaven. But the third one is obviously not suitable for you, so you can just give up."

After saying this, Master Mi Zang summoned a few more things from the bone fragments, stone slabs, and bronze tripods around him and explained them to Shao Siming.

"In order to prevent you from knowing nothing after you go there, I will first tell you about the people you might meet there. The first one is none other than Dadong Zhenjun of Shangqing Dao. This guy is different from me and Jiuliu. He was one of the orthodox immortals in the past. He is famous for his talismans and meditation. His dojo is the Three Caves Altar..."

As he spoke, a stone slab shattered and turned into countless talismans that flew up and down, forming a sea that looked like talismans. As the Secret Treasure Master raised his hand, countless talismans began to fluctuate like the tide, and one talisman after another flew in this fluctuation, like fish swimming in the waves.

Among them, there was a human figure composed of countless strangely shaped, constantly evolving lights, flying between the talismans, changing at an unprecedented speed, and at the same time causing many talismans to change along with it.

"Is this the Great Cave Master?"

Shao Siming looked at the somewhat abstract existence and seemed unable to understand it. "This guy Dadong claims to be proficient in the magic of the Three Pure Ones and the Three Caves, and to have seen through the truth of the world. He is worried that ordinary people cannot understand, so he turns everything into talismans and transmits immortal magic. The concepts he masters include talismans, or words, thoughts, ideas, observation, writing, etc. In some concepts, they overlap with my original body, but more of them are mutual influence and restraint. My relationship with him is not very good."

"We also don't have a good relationship with Qingwei Dao Dongzhao Zhenjun. This guy's dojo is Jinguangtian."

A bronze mirror flew out and landed in mid-air. It turned from one to two, from two to four, then to eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and sixty-four. In the blink of an eye, Shao Siming's front was covered with endless mirrors. The mirrors around reflected each other, reflecting the endless void. If you look closely, you will find that there are different pictures and texts on the edges of those mirrors, symbolizing concepts such as thunder, fire, light, and ocean.

The light and shadow reflected by different mirrors project a person in the center, at the edge, or in any possible position. These people are similar yet different.

Mi Zang Zhenren sighed, "These guys are all him. Dongzhao is a bit unlucky. He was originally one of the orthodox immortals, but the orthodox immortals were basically covered by Tianshidao Longhu Zhenjun, Shangqingdao Dadong Zhenjun and Quanzhendao Shaoyang Zhenjun. He could only find another way and created Jinguangtian with the concepts of introspection, Dongzhao, observation, reality, reflection, etc. as the core."

"Everyone who enters it or uses the mirrors to cast spells will be left with their aura or patterns on a mirror. To this day, even I don't know how many mirrors there are in his Golden Light Heaven."

"Both of them are able to observe or reflect the truth, so they may be standing on the other side of the passage. The remaining two are due to the special nature of the Dao Fruit, and they may appear on the opposite side. They are Jinque Zhenjun of the Jade Emperor Dao and Taixu Zhenjun of the Qiankun Dao."

"Among them, the temple of Jade Emperor Jinque Zhenjun is the easiest to remember. It is called Jade Emperor Jinque."

As he spoke, the bronze tripod flew out and exploded violently, transforming into a huge palace that exuded unspeakable mystery and majesty, as if the eternal and unchanging order had gathered here, with countless regulations, rules, and chains converging in the center to form a tall and majestic god-man.

It seems that there is only black and white on the god's body, but where the two touch, you can see any color, whether visible to the naked eye or invisible to the naked eye, just like the changes in the stagnant order, but these changes will be seen by the pair of eyes with deep golden light, and will be solidified by the eyes that contain the vast universe and endless pressure.

Shao Siming saw all of this, and Chu Tai, who saw everything through her eyes, muttered secretly in his heart.

"Order, words, stability, oath, suppression, etc., and there seem to be some traces of resistance and conquest..."

While Chu Tai was silently calculating the concept of Jade Emperor Dao Jinque Zhenjun, Secret Treasure Zhenjun continued to introduce: "The Daoist temple of Qiankun Dao Taixu Zhenjun is quite special. It is called Taixu Xingzhen. It is the only Daoist temple where Zhenjun is not inside the temple."

As the words fell, the bone fragments flew out and turned into thirty-eight lines, interweaving into a game with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines. At each node, there were chess pieces and illusory black and white vertical and horizontal lines, which were entangled together in an exquisite way, forming an ever-changing "chess game".

But if you look closely for a long time, you will find that the chess game in front of you is not a simple flat chess game, but a constantly changing cubic chessboard. Except for the chess piece in the center that does not move, the positions of the other chess pieces are constantly changing. Above that chess piece, countless black and white chess pieces and lines converge into an illusory arm.

"Fate, ending, emptiness, order, reality, soul..."

Chu Tai silently calculated the power wielded by this True Lord and understood why these two were sitting opposite him.

"They want to control the small world in the channel and maintain its stability, right?"

After Shao Siming asked the Secret Treasure Master, he asked again, "But why these two? Don't the other masters understand the concept of order?"

"The other True Lords? True Lord Youzhao of Xuanming Dao, True Lord Feixian of Yuhua Dao, and True Lord Wanling of Wenxian Dao are not suitable to rule the world. Jiuliu can barely do it, but it is not the most suitable. True Lord Longhu of Tianshi Dao and True Lord Shaoyang of Quanzhen Dao may not be in a very good condition now. As for True Lord Zhusui of Yuanling Dao, he has more important work to do and has no time to care about a small passage."

Master Mi Zang opened the passage and chuckled, "After chasing Tai Sui Xingjun for 3,600 years, beating him 128,763 times, and tearing the concept of Tai Sui Xing apart, Zhu Sui's most important job is always to maintain the stability of the time sequence of the Eastern Changsheng Xianzhou. He has no time and ability to care about other things."
