Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 111: The Celestial Star Chart (Two Chapters in One)
"The next time I come to the Netherworld, it will be the time for reincarnation."

After taking a deep look at the Netherworld Blood Sea, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and summoned the Moon Wheel, which fell into the void, shattering the space into a pitch-black passage, and stepped into it.

This space channel appeared for a very short time. After Li Xuanyang entered, the space calmed down in a moment, and the entrance to the prehistoric land also disappeared, leaving only an endless sea of ​​blood in the underworld.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang came out of the space channel and felt the rich essence of the stars in the sky hitting his face.

In the sky, countless stars are falling and converging towards the moon. Below are the boundless thirty-three outer heavens, and below that is the primitive earth.

"Starry sky!" Li Xuanyang was slightly stunned, looking at the moon wheel in his hand and the essence of the surrounding stars that gathered together, with a thoughtful expression on his face. It seemed that the space of the Netherworld Blood Sea seemed to be changing unpredictably.

This is very similar to the underworld in later generations.

As for the starry sky!

Ever since Emperor Jun and Taiyi sealed off the stars in the sky with the Great Array of Stars in the Sky, few great masters in the ancient times went into the starry sky, for fear of disturbing the Great Array of Stars in the Sky of the demon race and thus encountering disasters or even death.

Although Li Xuanyang did not have too many concerns, he did not want to have another conflict with Di Jun and Tai Yi.

The most urgent task is to go back and refine the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag and completely refine the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Formation.

However, at this moment, a rich essence of the stars in the sky suddenly streaked from the depths of the starry sky and headed towards the moon.

There is a faint glow in it, very dazzling, like a miniature bright moon.

"What is this?" Li Xuanyang subconsciously waved his sleeves, collected the essence of the stars in the sky along with the light spot, and held it in his palm.

What surprised him was that this light, which seemed only as big as a grain of rice, was actually very heavy and contained rich moonlight, as if it was the essence of the stars.

However, it is different from the star essence obtained from Di Jun last time, and seems to be more refined.

Li Xuanyang's heart moved, and he looked towards the palm of his hand, where he saw a golden glow the size of a grain of rice, faintly emitting a layer of silver moonlight. It was extremely pure and looked vaguely similar to the moon.

"This is the star essence condensed from the essence of the lunar star!" A hint of understanding flashed in Li Xuanyang's eyes. The star essence can be divided into two types.

One of them is the star essence obtained from Di Jun. It is condensed from the essence of countless stars in the sky, and the star essence it contains is very chaotic.

The second is a single kind of star essence condensed from the essence of the stars in the sky.

Just like the rice-sized star essence in Li Xuanyang's hand, it is condensed from the essence of the lunar star and contains a bit of the origin of the lunar star, so it is attracted to the moon wheel.

The 365 Zhoutian Star Banners in the Zhoutian Star Array are all made by the fusion of the essence of two kinds of stars, so that they can resonate with the Zhoutian stars from afar.

"No wonder Di Jun and Tai Yi sealed off the stars as soon as they set up the Great Circular Star Array. They might have the intention of collecting the essence of the stars."

Li Xuanyang suddenly thought of something and fell into deep thought. He said, "If we can use the essence of the Zhoutian stars as a map, and integrate the essence of the 365 Zhoutian stars into the map, then can we create a Zhoutian star map?"

Now that the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court's Great Array of Stars controls all the stars in the sky, this map of stars may not appear to be precious.

But once the Lich Calamity is over and the Great Array of Zhoutian Stars no longer exists, the Zhoutian stars can be used to nourish this map, or even control all of the Zhoutian stars.

By then, the preciousness of this map will be better than that of ordinary high-grade innate spiritual treasures.

"In the later ages, innate spiritual energy no longer exists. Except for a few blessed places, only acquired spiritual energy remains."

"If one can control the celestial stars and set up the great celestial star formation, one can refine the chaotic energy and transform it into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the spiritual energy deficiency in the prehistoric world. This action is no less than an immeasurable merit."

In a short period of time, it may not be as good as the merits of Nuwa creating human beings and Houtu reincarnating into a body, but it is better in that it is continuous.

"Wonderful, wonderful, it's truly indescribable."

"If Di Jun and Tai Yi act in this way, they might be able to give the demon race a glimmer of hope during the great calamity in the future."

"However, at this moment, all 365 stars in the Heavenly Circuit are guarded by demon saints and demon gods, and there is also a great Heavenly Circuit Star Array. Other living beings and cultivators cannot even take a single step. If you want to collect the essence of the stars, you will have to put in a lot of effort."

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang immediately hid his figure. Unless he met Di Jun, Tai Yi, Xihe and Kunpeng, the four quasi-saints of the demon race with great supernatural powers, or activated the Zhoutian Star Array, even the ten demon saints would not be able to discover him in person.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang used the moon as a support and transformed into a barely detectable silver moonlight, wandering in the starry sky.

It's no wonder that ever since Di Jun and Tai Yi sealed off the stars in the sky with the Great Zhoutian Star Array, the essence of the stars in the sky has become much richer, and even the amount of star essence has increased significantly.

Even though it had been plundered more than once by Di Jun and Tai Yi's men, there were still some scattered star essences left.

In a flash, several months passed, and Li Xuanyang had collected hundreds of star essences the size of rice grains.

Most of them are the essence of ordinary stars, and only a very small part is born from the 365 stars in the sky.

There is still a big gap before we can collect the total of 365 star essences.

At this time, Li Xuanyang encountered a very strange star, which was one of the 365 stars in the sky. It was huge and boundless, and emitted a purple-gold star light.

It looks like he is wearing a purple and gold robe, elegant and noble.

There are obvious differences between it and the other stars in the sky.

What surprised Li Xuanyang was that there were nine huge stars around this purple-gold star, rotating around it according to the four seasons.

The light on seven of the stars is very dazzling, while the light on two of the stars is hidden.

"Seven stars appear, two stars are hidden!"

"This is the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper!"

Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "This purple-gold star looks to be the Ziwei Star without a doubt!"

Among the 365 circumcelestial stars, there are some very unique stars, such as the sun, the moon, Mars, etc.

The sun and the moon are the most noble, respectively ruling the day and night of the ancient world.

Mars is a star of disaster, symbolizing calamity and catastrophe.

The Ziwei star is also very special. It is surrounded by the nine stars of the Big Dipper: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, Zuofu and Youbi. It is the emperor star in later generations. It is presided over by the Ziwei Emperor of the North Pole in the center of the sky, commanding all the stars in the sky, controlling the laws of heaven and earth, and controlling ghosts, gods and thunder.

"The Great Circumstellar Array of Emperor Jun and Taiyi is based on the Sun and Moon as the main stars, commanding all the stars. It is derived from the River Chart and the Luoshu, and is suppressed by the Chaos Bell."

"And if I want to set up the Great Zhoutian Star Array in the future, I can only use the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels as a substitute. But now I only have the Moon Wheel, and the Sun Wheel is missing, so the Sun and Moon are incomplete."

"Unless the Ziwei Star replaces the Sun Star, transforming it into the Ziwei Emperor Star, and then using the Moon Star as a supplement, these two stars can command the stars!"

"It seems that I need to collect more essence of the Ziwei star." Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang gathered his magic power and fell onto the Ziwei star to search for the essence of the star.

Not long after, Li Xuanyang collected a piece of Ziwei star essence as big as a date pit, and headed towards the nine stars of the Big Dipper with satisfaction.

More than ten years passed like this.

Li Xuanyang's soul has almost deduced the Zhoutian Star Map. He only needs to collect the star essences of 365 Zhoutian stars before he can start refining the Zhoutian Star Map.

But Li Xuanyang encountered a troublesome problem. The essences of other stars had almost been collected, and only a few types were left.

Among them, the essence of the sun and stars is missing.

The sun and stars are the places where Emperor Jun and Tai Yi transformed. Logically speaking, there are not only a large number of demon saints and demon gods stationed here for patrol and protection, but also Emperor Jun and Tai Yi often come here to practice in seclusion.

"Now we can only go and take a look first." The innate Xuanyang divine light on Li Xuanyang's body flashed, and he went towards the sun and stars.

Looking from afar, you can see a vast expanse of fire above the sun and stars, presenting a picture of flames filled with the true fire of the sun.

Apart from this, there was nothing else, let alone the patrolling demon saints and demon gods, not even the trace of ordinary demons was seen.

"What a domineering Sun True Fire! No wonder there are no demons stationed here to patrol." Li Xuanyang turned into a ray of golden light and fell onto the sun. He felt the endless Sun True Fire coming with a heat wave, and even the innate Xuanyang Divine Light was burned and distorted.

Even if a cultivator with the power of Daluo Jinxian breaks in, he will probably be ignited by the true fire of the sun and turned into ashes.
Deep in the depths of countless sun's true fire, stands a huge palace, surrounded by blazing flames. Three golden innate divine characters "Sun Palace" can be seen from afar, and a demon god stands on each side of the palace to guard it.

There are also teams of demon soldiers and generals patrolling inside, and the guards are very strict.

The Sun Palace is the palace of Emperor Jun and Taiyi.

Li Xuanyang just took a look and did not sense the breath of Di Jun and Tai Yi. It seemed that they were both staying in the Heavenly Court, leaving only some demon saints and demon gods to guard the Sun Palace.

Without planning to enter the Sun Palace, Li Xuanyang wandered in the Sun's True Fire, collected a grain-sized amount of the Sun Star's essence, and then transformed himself into a golden divine light. He left the Sun Star and headed towards the depths of the starry sky, collecting the remaining few.

This place is very far away from the primitive land, but is gradually approaching the chaotic world.

In the past, cultivators rarely visited this place. Even the demon saints and demon gods who came to collect the essence of the stars rarely came here. The starry sky was boundless. Once they left the range of the 365 celestial stars, even a Daluo Jinxian cultivator could get lost in the starry sky and fall into the chaotic world.

Fortunately, with Li Xuanyang's Taoist magical powers, he can rely on a trace of spiritual light from the unknown to break through the space and return to the ancient land.

Thinking of the Zhoutian Star Array, Li Xuanyang did not stop, but came to the gap between the starry sky and the chaotic world.

There are no stars within billions of miles of this place, which is far beyond the coverage of the Zhoutian Star Array.

Li Xuanyang was seen sitting cross-legged on his knees in the void, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. In the midst of the half-acre-sized celebration cloud, the Yin-Yang lamp hung high, emitting countless innate Yin-Yang true fires that fell into the chaotic world and the starry sky.

In an instant, the innate two-pole true fire spread out, covering billions of miles of void, half of it fell into the chaos, and half of it fell into the countless starry sky, turning into a huge black and white picture, and billions of miles of land turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Among them, the innate Xuanyang true fire was derived, and together with the innate Liangyi true fire, it ignited the chaotic energy within billions of miles of land and the essence of the stars in the sky, gradually turning into a huge gray-gold vortex.

The countless chaotic energies within it intertwined with the essence of the surrounding stars, turning into a huge sea of ​​fire, reflecting a sky full of flames.

Even though they were billions of miles away and blocked by countless stars, a slight change could be seen.

Many living beings and cultivators in the ancient land seemed to be able to vaguely see wisps of starlight gathering together to form an invisible star cluster.

In the hazy light, a huge flame appeared.

If a cultivator came up and saw the scene, he would be so frightened that he would be stunned.

At this time, Li Xuanyang was sitting in the center of the vortex. He was not in a hurry to refine the Zhoutian Star Map. Instead, he used the innate Xuanyang True Fire and the innate Liangyi True Fire to temper the chaotic energy and the essence of the Zhoutian stars, and used the two as materials for refining the Zhoutian Star Map.

Generally speaking, when refining spiritual treasures, whether they are ordinary spiritual treasures or magical instruments for achieving enlightenment, almost all of them use innate or acquired things as spiritual materials, and then nourish them with the primordial spirit.

However, the Zhoutian Star Chart that Li Xuanyang planned to refine was different. It was not made with spiritual materials, but with the chaotic energy and the essence of the Zhoutian stars as materials, and then the essence of the stars was integrated into it to turn it into a picture album.

Finally, 365 star restrictions were refined from low to high. Each star restriction contained a star magical power to enhance the power of the Zhoutian Star Map.

Some of these star powers were deduced by Li Xuanyang based on the characteristics of the 365 stars in the sky, while others were Taoist powers passed down by Taoist Ancestor Hongjun in the past. There are many kinds of them.

As time went by, the chaotic energy and the essence of the stars in the sky gradually turned into a picture album, which exuded chaotic energy on the outside and contained endless essence of the stars in the sky.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang threw the essence of stars into the void. After refining and purifying them with the innate Xuanyang true fire and the innate Liangyi true fire, they fell into the atlas and turned into stars. They were like shining stars, absorbing and exhaling the essence of the stars in the sky, and looked very dazzling.

Even if you stop refining it at this time, as long as you place it in the starry sky and nourish it with the essence of the stars in the sky for countless years, after a long time, it can be transformed into a real picture of the stars in the sky.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang formed a series of seals with his hands and refined 365 star restrictions into the atlas.

At this moment, the map of the Zhoutian stars suddenly turned into billions of rays of light, fell into the starry sky, and disappeared.

In less than half a breath, he attracted the essence of countless stars in the sky, rushed into the depths of the starry sky, merged into the atlas, and was absorbed by the essence of 365 stars.

Suddenly, the essences of the 365 stars in the atlas shook, as if they were resonating with the 365 celestial stars in the starry sky. Each of them moved in a mysterious trajectory, surrounded by stars.

Among these 365 star essences, Ziwei is the main one and Taiyin is the auxiliary one, which turns into a huge Zhoutian star map, which has a faint similarity with the demon clan's Zhoutian star array.

The next moment, the essences of the 365 stars in the Zhoutian Star Map lit up one by one, emitting rays of starlight that merged with each other and shone with the brilliance of billions of stars.

I saw the map of the Zhoutian stars gradually become blurred, and finally completely turned into a ball of Zhoutian star light, as if it had merged into the starry sky, merging with all the Zhoutian stars into one.

At this time, Li Xuanyang had already completed the ritual of refining the Zhoutian Star Map. All that was left was to activate the origins of the 365 Zhoutian stars and integrate them into the Zhoutian Star Map, combining them with the essence of the stars in the map.

This Zhoutian Star Map has been completely refined.

Then you can connect to the stars in the sky, control the stars, and draw down 365 divine lights from the stars in the sky.

"Collect!" Li Xuanyang stretched out his hand and pointed at the map of the Zhoutian stars. Countless starlight burst out from it, exactly three hundred and sixty-five, and fell into the starry sky.

In a moment, the 365 Zhoutian stars in the starry sky suddenly shone brightly, and all rushed out infinite star power and fell into the Zhoutian star map deep in the starry sky.

After obtaining the origins of the three hundred and sixty-five celestial stars, the three hundred and sixty-five star essences in the atlas began to gradually grow stronger.

If it was the vision during the previous refining of the Zhoutian Star Map, it could have been barely concealed from Emperor Jun, Taiyi and others in the Heavenly Court.

But at this moment, the astonishing phenomenon was so great that not only Emperor Jun, Taiyi and others in the Heavenly Court, but even many ancient creatures and cultivators could clearly see that the stars in the sky had changed.

The sun and the moon shone brightly, and countless rich starlights rushed out and flew towards the depths of the starry sky, scaring the stationed demon saints and demon gods into panic.

Almost in an instant, the Great Zhoutian Star Array began to operate autonomously, and countless divine lights of the Zhoutian stars burst out, exploring into the depths of the starry sky.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi poured a drop of Three Lights Divine Water into the roots of the ginseng fruit tree and looked up at the starry sky. "The Great Zhoutian Star Array!"

"Di Jun, Tai Yi, why are you activating the Great Zhou Tian Xing Chen Formation?"

"Could it be that you are here for Fellow Daoist Xuanyang or for my Wuzhuang Temple?" Zhen Yuanzi frowned and looked towards the Buzhou Mountain. He saw that the South Heaven Gate was very peaceful without any murderous intent or evil spirit.

In the ancestral land of the dragon clan.

Zhulong also looked towards the starry sky, with two rays of divine light appearing from his eyes. He could faintly see the divine light of countless stars appearing around him. Instead of falling towards the vast land, it seemed to spread towards the depths of the starry sky.

Deep in the starry sky!

"It seems that someone with great magical powers has entered the starry sky and activated the Zhou Tian Xing array, allowing it to operate autonomously."

"The starry sky is blocked by the Great Zhoutian Star Array. Even those of us with great supernatural powers like Quasi-Saints dare not go there easily. This fellow Taoist is quite courageous!"

"If there were no Zhoutian Star Array, I could go over and watch a good show. What a pity, what a pity!" Zhulong retracted his gaze, revealing a trace of regret.

Now the Great Zhoutian Star Array has started to operate autonomously, almost blocking the entire starry sky.

Going into the starry sky at this time is equivalent to walking into a trap, and one will run into the Zhoutian Star Array.

For a moment, the gazes of all the quasi-saints and powerful cultivators in the prehistoric world fell on the starry sky. Some brave cultivators even controlled the clouds and went into the starry sky.

Above the heaven.

Bai Ze rushed in hurriedly and reported to Di Jun on the cloud bed, saying, "Your Majesty, the stars in the sky are shining so brightly that the Zhoutian Star Array has started to operate autonomously!"

After hearing Bai Ze's words, Di Jun frowned. No wonder he had felt the Great Zhoutian Star Array suddenly start to move. "Those 365 Zhoutian stars have existed since ancient times. Over billions of years, there has never been any unusual movement."

"How could it suddenly shine so brightly at this moment, even triggering the Zhoutian Star Array?"

Thinking of this, Di Jun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He waved his hand and summoned his companion spiritual treasure, the River Map and Luo Shu, and began to deduce the secrets of heaven. He suddenly felt the origin of the stars in the sky being lost, and even the luck of heaven began to fluctuate.

"How dare you! I, the emperor, will see who dares to steal the origin of the stars in the sky to refine spiritual treasures." Emperor Jun snorted coldly, and the golden light of the sun god flashed around his body, and he went towards the depths of the starry sky.

"Quickly inform Demon Master Kunpeng and have him go to the starry sky with me. There must be no mistakes!"

"I will obey your majesty's orders!" Bai Ze saluted respectfully, with a hint of worry flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Ever since the last incident of snatching the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Di Jun and Tai Yi have been extremely angry with Kun Peng, and even the position of Demon Master has become nominal.

Kunpeng was also unwilling to be outdone, and many of the North Sea monsters under his command also began to secretly disobey the orders of the Heavenly Court.

If the North Sea demons had not already surrendered a trace of their souls, they would have returned to the North Sea long ago.

In the gap between the depths of the starry sky and chaos, the 365 star essences in the Zhoutian Star Map continue to grow stronger, and their power has increased by several times.

However, before Li Xuanyang could continue to activate the origin of the Zhoutian stars, he suddenly felt that the essence of the Zhoutian stars disappeared out of thin air, and the origin of the Zhoutian stars also became blurred. No matter how he activated the Zhoutian Star Map, it was indifferent.

Li Xuanyang glanced at the starry sky and saw that the Great Zhoutian Star Array had fully activated. Countless divine lights from the Zhoutian stars surged towards him, along with the auras of several quasi-saints. "It seems the commotion was a bit too loud, and it actually triggered the Great Zhoutian Star Array."

"And it seems that in addition to Di Jun, Tai Yi and others, there are a few others with unfamiliar auras!" Li Xuanyang looked at the Zhoutian Star Map calmly.

At this time, the Zhoutian Star Map already contained densely packed stars, like numerous stars, turning the starry sky into a picture album, blooming with layers of starlight, which looked almost exactly the same as the stars in the starry sky, without the slightest difference.

This map of the celestial sphere bears some resemblance to Nuwa's map of mountains, rivers, and the state.

The map of mountains, rivers and the state records the direction of the ancient mountains, rivers and land veins, and contains the vast universe.

The Zhoutian Star Chart records the changes of the stars in the sky. It contains a starry sky world and endless essence of the stars in the sky, which can be used to control the stars in the future.

"It's worth all my hard work." Li Xuanyang nodded with satisfaction, put the map of the Zhoutian stars into his soul to nurture it, and a golden divine light flashed around his body, and he entered the chaotic world.
