Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 828: The Primordial Pearl Separates Kan and Li
The moment he saw Yunhua, Chu Tai also saw the Emperor of Heaven.

And the moment he saw the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven also saw Chu Tai.

"It's really difficult to meet fellow Taoist!"

The Emperor chuckled, his words echoing in Chu Tai's ears.

"No wonder your majesty is so powerful. I hid so deeply, but you still found me."

Chu Tai himself is not afraid of the Emperor of Heaven. In the current world and time period, if he fights alone, no matter whether it is the Emperor of Heaven, the Three Immortals, or the Two Saints of Buddhism, they are no match for him.

Even if they joined forces, Chu Tai was confident that he could escape easily.

After all, he has gradually condensed the concept of the [Gate of Heaven] in the Donghuang Bell. Relying on the status of the Donghuang Bell, he is able to break free from the constraints of the current world.

The Emperor of Heaven also saw the Donghuang Bell standing above Chu Tai's head, felt its power, and exclaimed: "What a treasure, it can suppress the changes in the heavens. No wonder it can ignore the influence of the destiny formed by the interweaving power of all of us in the current time period."

As he spoke, the Emperor looked at Chu Tai and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, you are not one of us from heaven and earth, right?"

"I came from outer space to find someone. Now I am waiting for the opportunity to go to the next time period."

Chu Tai concealed some information, which the Emperor of Heaven could see, but he didn't care. To him, Chu Tai's existence was the biggest variable.

"The connection between the three time periods of heaven and earth is special, so we cannot go there directly. If you are willing, you can go to the next time period by following the intuition in the dark when the current calamity subsides and the fate undergoes a huge change."

"Besides that, only if you, Daoist friend, turn the world upside down and cause chaos, will you be able to find that opportunity."

"If I really do this, I'm afraid that Goddess Nuwa will wake up and kill me immediately."

Chu Tai's answer made the Emperor smile. He did not respond directly, but after a moment of silence, he asked Chu Tai to take care of his sister's child.

"You're not going to let me save her?"

"I have tried to save her more than a thousand times, but succeeded only a handful of times. I have done my best in this life. It all depends on whether she can figure it out."

After saying this, the Emperor of Heaven dispersed his spiritual light, and Chu Tai silently turned his head to look in the direction of Kunlun.

At this time, Taiyi Zhenren had already returned from heaven and planned to rest in Kunlun Mountain before continuing to track down the Hunyuan Pearl.

He happened to meet Yang Jian and Yang Chan who were practicing under Jade Ding Zhenren. After hearing about their encounter, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but said, "Your mother is now trapped under Taoshan Mountain. It's not a simple matter to save her."

“We must save you no matter how difficult it is!”

Yang Jian expressed his thoughts in a firm tone, and his sister Yang Chan was very perceptive in hearing the hidden meaning in Taiyi Zhenren's words.

"Uncle Master, you said it's not a simple matter, but do you know how to save my mother?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to tell you. Senior Brother Yuding also knows about this matter. If he doesn't tell you, it's not appropriate for me to tell you."

"You know it's inappropriate but you still say that!"

Jade Ding Zhenren walked out from the darkness and glared at Taiyi Zhenren. He turned around and saw his disciple with a determined and eager face. His originally hardened heart could no longer hold on and he could only sigh, "The Emperor of Heaven imposed countless heavenly rules on that Peach Mountain, which made it merge with the earth veins. Not only is it indestructible, it can also repair itself. Not to mention you, even I can't do anything to the Peach Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yuding Zhenren had forgotten, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yuding, although we can't do anything about the Heavenly Law, Taoshan is still a mountain after all, and we still have Kunlun..."

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren jumped up in anger and hit Taiyi Zhenren's head hard with his palm-leaf fan.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

Looking back, Yang Chan and Yang Jian were already kneeling on the ground, saying that as children, they knew their mother was trapped under the mountain and could not be rescued, and they felt unworthy of being sons. They prayed to Jade Ding Zhenren to have mercy and tell them a solution.

Jade Ding Zhenren learned his lesson this time. He glared at Taiyi fiercely, and then he sighed and said, "The Heavenly Law is a rule set by the Heavenly Palace. It is a rule that assists the operation of the myriad principles between heaven and earth. Therefore, it contains boundless divine power. If you want to break the influence of the Heavenly Law, you can only attract more powerful forces."

"More powerful?"

Yang Jian repeated in a low voice and asked, "But is it the ancestor's treasure?"

Jade Ding Zhenren slapped Yang Jian on the head with a palm-leaf fan and scolded: "Your ancestor's treasure is naturally powerful, but your ancestor Yuanshi Xianzun is also an immortal saint who maintains the operation of the myriad principles of heaven and earth. How could his treasure be used to break the heavenly rules?"

"You want to save your mother. The only way is to invoke the power of the sacred Nuwa, the ancient creator of all things. The goddess once came to the world again because the gods regarded all living things as food. She killed a large number of ancient gods and laid the foundation for the establishment of new gods. She also refined five-colored stones to repair the sky and restore order."

"Therefore, the divine power of Nuwa has always existed between heaven and earth. That is the order she left behind."

“What is this order?”

Yang Jian understood what Jade Ding Zhenren meant and hurriedly asked for the power that could save his mother.

"It is love. And it is not limited to the small love of one family or one person, but the great love that encompasses all things. Only this kind of great love can mobilize the divine power that Nuwa has left in countless lives and change the laws of heaven."

After saying that, Jade Ding Zhenren stopped talking, while Taiyi Zhenren beside him seemed to want to say something, but did not dare to because of Jade Ding Zhenren's previous glare.

This time, Yang Chan didn't notice it, but Yang Jian saw it.

Just when Yang Jian was about to ask Taiyi Zhenren later, Yuding Zhenren seemed to sense something and added: "If you can't break the rules of heaven, even if you split Peach Mountain, you can't save your mother, but it may cause greater problems."

After saying this, Jade Ding Zhenren asked the Yang brothers and sisters to practice well, and then took Taiyi Zhenren away.

When the dejected Taiyi Zhenren walked out of the Yuding Taoist Temple, Yang Jian, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward to ask.

"Uncle Master, I saw that you seemed to want to say something earlier, but is there any other way to save my mother?"

After being taught a lesson by Jade Ding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren naturally did not dare to speak again. Yang Jian also realized that the other party was not ignorant of the matter, but was afraid to say it, so he kept begging, which made Taiyi Zhenren helpless and said, "Apart from simple love, many extreme emotions actually have very powerful forces." As he spoke, Taiyi Zhenren stretched out his hand and touched Yang Jian's brow, activating the magic weapon Sky Eye left to him by Yunhua.

"This mark on your forehead is a treasure left to you by your mother. It can see the nine heavens above and the nine underworlds below. It can also see the ten directions of the human world. It also contains a bit of the divine fire of the desire realm. If you can activate it with extreme emotion, it will be able to exert considerable power."

After Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, he said a little embarrassedly: "I originally thought that you could use the divine fire in your heavenly eyes and extreme emotions to refine a mountain-splitting divine axe, so as to split Taoshan Mountain and rescue your mother. But this kind of power comes from the Desire Realm, from the Heavenly Palace, and is part of the Heavenly Rules. No matter how you drive it, you can't use it to break the Heavenly Rules and save your mother."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian didn't care and just wanted to confirm one other thing.

"But it will allow my mother to see the light of day again, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. I said before that the Peach Mountain is compatible with the earth veins and can repair itself. You just split it open, and it might be repaired in the next moment. Your mother will still be trapped underneath."

Hearing this, Yang Jian said something that shocked Taiyi Zhenren: "What if I split all the surrounding earth veins?"

"No! No! What are you thinking about, you idiot?"

Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly stopped him and said, "Do you want to kill your mother?"

Seeing Yang Jian's unwillingness, Taiyi Zhenren said with a headache, "Your mother violated the Heaven's rules and was imprisoned under the Peach Mountain. It would be fine if you secretly rescued her, but if you have the guts to cut off the surrounding earth veins, it would cause problems for thousands of miles of land around, and then the Emperor of Heaven would definitely impose new punishments on you."

As he spoke, Taiyi Zhenren had a vague feeling and couldn't help but say, "I always feel that if you, a fool, really cut the earth vein, your mother will be burned to death by the sun."

"Then I'll chop down the sun!"

Listening to Yang Jian's words, Taiyi Zhenren's face was full of helplessness, and Chu Tai, who was observing secretly, also closed his eyes silently.

He really didn't expect that under the influence of the Taiyi Dao Fruit, it was his own Taiyi incarnation that brought about so many changes.

He increasingly did not want to acknowledge the relationship between the incarnation and his family, and silently complained in his heart that the incarnation's personality was probably inherited from his own Taiyi ancestor.

On the other side, after Yang Jian left, Taiyi Zhenren was a little worried about his actions, so he went back to find Yuding Zhenren.

After being scolded, Jade Ding Zhenren hurried out and saw Yang Jian was already refining the mountain-splitting axe with the third eye between his eyebrows.

Taiyi wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Brother, why don't you let me stop this idiot?"

"He is now obsessed with his ideas and won't listen to advice. Instead of trying to stop him, it's better to wait until he gets a bloody head before trying to persuade him."

Taiyi became even more anxious: "But if he really did something wrong, will the Emperor of Heaven let him off so easily?"

Jade Ding Zhenren did not answer, but pulled Taiyi away. At the same time, he called Yang Chan to his side, taught her many wonderful methods, and took out some golden elixirs to help her quickly improve her magic power.

The anxious Taiyi Zhenren wanted to help several times, but was stopped by Yuding Zhenren. He asked Taiyi to deal with the matter of Hunyuan Pearl first, saying that this was a task given to him by his mentor personally, and no mistakes should be made because of his disciple.

Feeling a little apologetic, Taiyi Zhenren took out a lotus leaf full of spiritual charm and handed it to Yang Chan, which made Yang Chan feel a little embarrassed.

Yu Ding took a look at the lotus leaf that was so full of spiritual charm that he could not ignore it, and asked Yang Chan to accept it.

Only then did Taiyi Zhenren feel at ease to leave, while Yang Chan felt a little embarrassed holding the lotus leaf in her hand. She looked at Yuding Zhenren and said that this item was too valuable and asked if she should return it in a few days.

"No need to do that. My Junior Brother Taiyi has a special identity, almost born from the heaven and earth. I wouldn't be surprised even if Master Yuanshi accepts him as his personal disciple the next moment. He has an inexplicable ability to sense many things. Some of the things he said to your brother before actually touched your brother's heart. They are the words he hopes to hear, and they are also the most suitable way to enlighten him."

Jade Ding Zhenren was silent for a while when he said this, then he said quietly: "It's just that this method is too dangerous. I don't want to deal with it this way, but since he has led it out, there is no need to force it back."

After saying that, Jade Ding Zhenren took another look at the lotus leaf in Yang Chan's hand and said, "The same goes for him. Since he gave you this item, he left without any worries. I'm afraid he also sensed that this item could solve some problems in the future. Just take it."

After saying this, Jade Ding Zhenren looked in the direction where Taiyi was going away, then looked at the Taoist temple where Wuliang Xianweng lived above, lowered his head silently, and focused on observing Yang Jian's subsequent practice.

On the other hand, Taiyi Zhenren caught up with the Hunyuan Pearl for the third time.

This time, Taiyi Zhenren was more fully prepared, and he used many magic weapons one after another to suppress the pearl in place.

But just when he was about to subdue the pearl, the pearl turned in the air, and produced water and fire energies out of thin air, revealing a phantom with three heads and eight arms. It grabbed the surrounding magic weapons one by one, and freed one hand to beat Taiyi violently.

Taiyi was so frightened that he retreated hastily, and Shen Gongbao, who was following Taiyi from behind, waved the Thunder Whip in his hand, broke the outer shell of the Hunyuan Orb and knocked out its original form, but just when Shen Gongbao was about to suppress it.

The thunder magic ban on his Thunder Whip was absorbed by the Hunyuan Pearl and then bounced back.

Even though he had suffered losses before, Shen Gongbao was still forced back dozens of miles by the opponent's move. By the time he reacted, the Hunyuan Pearl had already escaped again.

It was at this time that a jade tripod fell from the sky and suppressed the pearl.

Shen Gongbao and Taiyi Zhenren looked up and saw the shadow of Yuanshi Immortal Venerable standing in the air.

Taiyi and Shen Gongbao hurriedly saluted, but Yuanshi did not care. He just stretched out his hand and the tripod flew into the air, shaking gently, separating Kan and Li, and breaking Hunyuan, splitting it into two.

"This Hunyuan Orb contains the power of both the old and new generations, including the changes of life and death. It was born to cater to this catastrophe."

“Under the protection of destiny, even I cannot destroy the power of the old gods directly. I can only split it into two, one to carry the new and the other to carry the new changes.”

"Taiyi, I have cast the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Curse on the orb that carries the power of the old god. Once you have cultivated the orb that contains the power of the new god, you can activate the curse power to destroy the remaining power of the old god and refine the orb into a magic weapon. After that, you will take the place of the Twelve Supreme Immortals left vacant by Wuliang."

As he spoke, Yuanshi stretched out his hand and lightly tapped. A precious lotus sealed the two precious beads and they fell into Taiyi Zhenren's hands. Shen Gongbao, who was standing next to him, lowered his head in disappointment.
