Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 446 Opening the Heart Palace

Yang Huai glanced at Yan Judao.

"Don't be upset, it will benefit you too if you succeed!"

"The so-called 'immeasurable' does not only include the elements of the cycle of reincarnation, but also the growth of all kinds of primordial energy in the universe, which is also part of the immeasurable Great Dao!"

"You don't need to remind me!"

Yan Ju gave him a disapproving look.
He just felt that this move was too underhanded. Although the chances of success were high, he would not be able to face the second generation of Zhu Rong after this.

Yang Huai glanced at him and snorted.

"If one day we reach that other shore together, the cause of enlightenment can be left to him. Otherwise, do you think that with Master Zhurong's wisdom and understanding, he might one day reach that point?"

Yan Ju glanced at him, his gaze shifting slightly.

Although the second-generation Zhu Rong was quite talented, he was not as good as the original Zhu Rong. Although he was considered to have outstanding talent among the gods, Yan Ju naturally did not believe that he could attain enlightenment.

Yan Ju was also a decisive person, and he put away the Primordial True Fire Diagram in a moment.

After a moment's thought, Yang Huai continued.

"Now that the Divine and Profound Paths are locked in a standoff, you should warn Tai Xiao to be careful. The Nine Li Tribe is highly likely to attempt to behead the Di Hong Clan!"

Yan Ju glanced at him.

What information did you receive?

Yang Huaidao.

"The fact that Da You has asked us for help is very likely because he intends to take action against the Human Emperor's Palace!"

Yan Ju's expression remained ambiguous.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Rong quietly departed.

Yan Ju hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to the Ziwei Palace.

In fact, given the connection between Zhu Rong and Taiwei Daoren, there was no need for such a complicated process; this could have been achieved directly through the Primordial Mirror.

The reason for having him deliver messages was simply to increase his influence within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

Including the ancient Earth's core, which is currently being prepared for reopening.

Only if he succeeds in this matter will he be qualified to be one of the Nine Venerables of the Xuanmen.

After a moment's thought, he transformed into a streak of light and descended towards the ancient Earth's core.

The ancient Earth's core lies tens of millions of miles below the eastern border.

This is a magnificent world of flames, filled with countless kinds of innate divine fire and innate spiritual fire.

An indescribable amount of innate fire elemental power condensed from it.

Boom! !

From time to time, the power of the earth fire surged out, forming pillars of light from innate divine fire that pierced deep into the underground space.

Yan Ju transformed into a streak of fire and emerged from the world of earthly fire, and he found this scene slightly strange.

This immense power of fire is no weaker than that of his sun.

If fire is considered yang and water yin, then his sun star is the ultimate yang, while earth fire is the lesser yang. There are seven parts yin within yang, and the ultimate yang is pure yang.

The ancient Earth's core was combined with the earth, so it was inevitable that it would be tainted by some of the earth's yin energy.

After Yan Ju arrived, following his connection with the ancient origin of the earth's core, he pierced through vast fiery space-time and arrived at the center of the earth's core, where an enormous pillar of earth fire stood like a divine mountain amidst thousands of magma, supporting the sky above the underground space.

In the center stands a solitary temple, the palace of the second generation of Zhu Rong.

The second-generation Zhu Rong was not very good at management; as the god of fire, he preferred quiet.

When Yan Ju entered the main hall, he saw the second-generation Zhu Rong standing in front of the hall, looking at the throne.

"Master Zhurong, I've come to see you!"

Upon hearing the voice, the second-generation Zhu Rong turned around and smiled slightly.

"It is a rare privilege for Your Highness to grace this humble minister's Great Bright Hall with your presence!"

Yan Ju raised his hand and placed down several gifts that had been prepared in advance.

The second-generation Zhurong merely glanced at it and smiled slightly.

He could tell that the contents of these jade boxes were of extraordinary value, including rare and precious innate divine iron, or other rare treasures of heaven and earth.

He casually put it away, shaking his head as he did so.

"Your Highness always brings generous gifts when you come, and this old minister is truly unworthy of them!"

Yan Ju said with a smile.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life!"

At this point, Yan Ju sighed slightly.

Yan Ju then explained the purpose of his visit.

"Master Zhurong, I have come here for the ancient Earth's core!"

The second-generation Zhu Rong's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Yan Ju, signaling him to continue.

Yan Ju continued.

"Now that the situation has changed, the ancient Earth's core is no longer suitable for maintaining the status quo. We should dredge it as soon as possible, and Master Zhurong should take this opportunity to complete this task to avoid attracting covetousness!"

The second-generation Zhurong glanced at Yanju and sighed.

"The world is in such chaos, what can one do!"

Yan Ju remained unmoved upon seeing this, only to hear the second-generation Zhu Rong speak to him again.

"Actually, I never thought that one day I would replace Father God as the God of Fire, but I ended up becoming the God of Fire."

He never imagined becoming the lord of Zhurong, but instead became the lord of the Zhurong tribe.

Inheriting the ancient Earth's core was not what this old minister truly desired, yet he has ultimately found himself in this position!

Yan Ju smiled upon hearing this.

"The world changes in ways that are beyond one's control, so please don't worry about it, teacher!"

"All we can do is try to stand firm in this turbulent world, as for rowing against the current and striving to go upstream, that is indeed something that ordinary people cannot do!"

The second-generation Zhu Rong glanced at Yan Ju and then spoke.

"This old minister believes that the Crown Prince is indeed a chosen one of heaven, capable of navigating the turbulent waters!"

Yan Juwan'er.

Without the accumulation of countless lifetimes, he would have been nothing more than an ordinary person swept away by the tide of worldly affairs. Even with the Primordial Mirror, he wouldn't dare claim to be striving to reach the Dao. Only the Three Pure Ones of the Mysterious Sect, and beings of innate power like Nuwa, could truly claim to be striving for advancement.

He could only do what he was supposed to do, seize every opportunity, and grow from the cracks.

Yan Ju pondered for a moment and then said.

"Teacher Zhurong, there's no need to be discouraged. Although the path of fire spirit has been occupied, the great cause is not yet accomplished, and the outcome is still unknown!"

"This disciple is willing to secretly lend Master a helping hand!"

He made a double entendre, and then said solemnly.

"Furthermore, no matter what happens, please believe in your disciple, Master. Your disciple will never betray Master Zhurong!"

Upon hearing this, the second-generation Zhurong was somewhat moved and quickly replied.

"The Crown Prince is the sovereign, and this old minister is the subject. How dare I overturn the proper order? I beg Your Highness not to do this, for it is jeopardizing this old minister's fate!"

The second-generation Zhurong looked serious, but deep down he was deeply moved.

After a moment's thought, the second generation of Zhu Rong immediately spoke.

"Your Highness, this old minister has also considered the matter of exploring the ancient Earth's core!"

Yan Ju raised his eyes, and the second-generation Zhu Rong clan member looked somewhat melancholy.

"I am aware of the situation regarding the Southwest Earth Lung. Although I am not as wise as others, I can still emulate their methods!"

"However, this ancient earth's core is too vast, and I have yet to come up with a specific plan on how to open its passages!"

This also frustrated him somewhat.

If he couldn't do what Zhu Rong could do in the beginning, wouldn't that mean his wisdom and understanding were inferior to others?

Now that the primordial Zhurong has become the supreme fire spirit, it is even more difficult for him to dispel the clouds and ponder the future of the ancient earth's core.

I also felt somewhat powerless.

Yan Ju smiled slightly.

"Master Zhurong, I have some personal opinions here. Would you be willing to take a look?"

The second-generation Zhu Rong's expression shifted, and he turned his gaze over.

"Since Your Highness has such a wonderful plan, why not share it with this old minister?"

He wasn't surprised. His disciple was always thorough in his work, and since he had come to him, he must have been confident that he could persuade him.

But he was still a little curious.

After all, even he, the ancient ruler of the Earth's core, had no clue, so he found it hard to believe that Yanju would have a miraculous solution.

Yan Ju smiled slightly, raised one hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand, which he handed to the second generation of Zhu Rong.

"Teacher, what do you think of this picture?"

The second-generation Zhu Rong casually took it, and his gaze swept over it. What he saw was a nearly complete ancient map of the Earth's core, covered with countless arrows that represented the direction of the earth's fire, and many places of stagnation and poison were also marked.

This is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, there are thousands of special marks marked on it, which, when connected, vaguely form the pattern of a heart of flame.

"this is……"

Gazing at the fiery heart, the second-generation Zhu Rong's expression changed slightly.

Yan Ju laughed.

"This thing is called the Heart of the Great Dao, also known as the Fire Spirit Origin Palace. It will be formed from more than a thousand large and small Fire Spirit Origin God Positions deep within the ancient earth's core. It will be the key to controlling the ancient earth's core, and also the key to regulating the five elements and yin and yang origins of the wild land!"

Yan Ju patiently explained everything one by one.

He didn't take out all the original True Fire diagrams directly, because that would be too deliberate.

This is just a rough structural diagram; the fire apertures involved are less than one-tenth of what Zhu Rongshi taught him.

As for the remaining nine-tenths, he will naturally find an opportunity to complete them gradually.

Although the second-generation Zhurong was not as perceptive as the original Zhurong, his cultivation was not weak. If he were too straightforward, the Zhurong clan might notice something amiss.

Even so, it still stirred the heart of the second-generation Zhu Rong clan.

If he can establish the Fire Spirit Origin Palace and take control of this ancient earth core, even if his future cultivation is not as good as that of the Supreme Fire Spirit, no one in the world can easily touch him because of the supreme merit of building this 'Heart of the Great Dao'.

"Is this truly something His Highness the Crown Prince has come to understand?"

Looking at this picture, the second-generation Zhu Rong was still somewhat shaken deep within his Dao heart.

Yan Ju nodded.

"This drawing is what I have created over the years. It is rather crude and contains many errors. I would appreciate it if you could point them out, Master. To be honest, I would not miss such a meritorious opportunity!"

"This disciple walks the Boundless Path. Boundless is not just about the cycle of heaven and earth's primordial energy; expanding the primordial energy of heaven and earth is also part of this disciple's practice of the Boundless Path!"

Yan Ju smiled slightly.

That's a perfect excuse.

However, if he can accomplish this, it will indeed greatly benefit him.

Yang Huai in the Purple Mansion Heaven Realm will also benefit.

After all, Yang Huai of the Purple Mansion Heaven Realm could certainly comprehend what he could.

Perhaps this incident will also contribute to our journey to the other shore.

The second-generation Zhurong did not pay attention to Yanju's words and nodded in agreement.

"This matter would be difficult to accomplish by this old minister alone. If His Highness the Crown Prince were to assist, that would be the best outcome!"

Yan Ju said upon hearing this.

"Teacher, to accomplish this grand plan, we still need to rely on the Emperor's power and the influence of the Xuanmen Sect to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

This is killing three birds with one stone.

Not only will the original Zhu Rong be able to lay the foundation for the Great Dao through this, and he and his original body will benefit, but he can also use this to win over the Xuanmen and become one of the nine Xuanmen Venerables.

The second-generation Zhurong agreed without hesitation.

"Indeed, without them, it would have been difficult for this old minister alone to withstand the Imperial Palace!"

Seeing that the second-generation Zhu Rong had agreed, Yan Ju thought to himself.

"It's done!"
