Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 112: Mount Zhongnan Jade Pillar Cave Heaven (Two Chapters in One)
By the time Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng and a group of demon saints and demon gods arrived at the gap between the depths of the starry sky and the chaotic world, Li Xuanyang had already entered the chaos for a long time, leaving behind an empty space, the remaining chaotic energy and the essence of the surrounding stars, and even wisps of true fire and the breath of the map of the surrounding stars.

"The aura of the innate spiritual fire and the essence of the celestial stars!" Sensing the various auras lingering around him, Di Jun frowned and said thoughtfully, "It seems that a quasi-saint with great magical powers has gathered the energy of chaos, the essence of the celestial stars, and the essence of the stars, and used the domineering and extremely yang innate spiritual fire to refine a spiritual treasure here!"

"Star Essence?" Taiyi frowned and said, "Where did this person get the star essence from?"

The essence of the stars is a treasure in the heavenly court. Normally, only Emperor Jun, Taiyi and Xihe can use it easily.

Apart from these, only Fuxi and Nuwa in Fengqi Mountain were given a lot by Emperor Jun, which were used to refine the Xihuang Sword and Nuwa Sword. The remaining one was only one piece that was asked for by Li Xuanyang in the past.

"Could it be that this person collected the essence of stars in the starry sky?" At this point, Taiyi couldn't help but reveal a hint of coldness on his face. He said, "How dare he steal the essence of stars to refine spiritual treasures within the coverage of the Zhoutian Star Array."

"How dare this person treat my Heavenly Court as if it were nothing!"

"No!" At this time, Di Jun vaguely sensed a very special breath, which seemed to be very similar to the breath left by the Zhoutian Star Array.

"What's wrong, brother?" Taiyi looked at Di Jun with confusion.

"The spiritual treasure this person is refining is probably extraordinary, even capable of connecting 365 stars in the heavens." Di Jun's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "No wonder he chose this place to perform the ritual and even attracted the essence of the stars in the heavens as spiritual materials, causing the heavenly star formation to operate autonomously!"

"Brother, you mean that the spiritual treasure that this person has refined is similar to the Zhoutian Star Banner, which can connect 365 Zhoutian stars. It is a star spiritual treasure!" Taiyi's face changed slightly, and he obviously thought of something.

Starry Spiritual Treasure is just a term, and it is not much different from ordinary spiritual treasures. It can only draw down the corresponding star divine light, and its function is somewhat similar to that of the Zhoutian Star Banner.

"That's right!" Di Jun nodded and said.

"This person is quite resourceful. He actually managed to refine such a star treasure. Could it be that he is planning to disrupt the Zhoutian Star Array?"

Taiyi's tone grew increasingly cold as he spoke, "However, he forgot one thing. The starry sky has long been sealed off by the Great Zhoutian Star Array. As long as he dares to use this treasure to activate the Zhoutian Star Origin again, we can easily find him and kill him directly."

In the future, if someone with great supernatural powers draws down a large amount of essence from the Zhoutian stars for no reason, or draws down the origin of the Zhoutian stars, regardless of whether it is used to disrupt the Zhoutian star formation, it must be related to this matter.

"Starry spiritual treasure!" Kunpeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a strange look in his eyes, as if he was very interested in the starry spiritual treasure mentioned by Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"Your Majesty, could it be the Wu clan?" A gloomy look flashed across Gui Che's brows.

"Stop talking nonsense. The Wu clan has no primordial spirit and does not cultivate the Three Flowers. Where does the innate spiritual fire come from to offer sacrifices to the spiritual treasures of the stars?" Shang Yang glanced at Gui Che, a trace of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"The Wu clan does not have innate spiritual fire, but the Pure Yang Taoist who is on good terms with them possesses the innate Pure Yang True Fire, which is the domineering Most Yang True Fire!" Gui Che retorted with a sneer.

"Alright, no need to say more." Di Jun glanced at the vast land and said, "First, keep an eye on the Zhou Tian Xingchen and see if he dares to use this star treasure in the future!"

"We will follow your majesty's orders!" All the demon saints and demon gods bowed to Emperor Jun and began to prepare to use the Zhoutian Star Array to monitor every move of the prehistoric world and the Zhoutian stars.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how we should deal with those cultivators who have entered the starry sky?" Bai Ze suddenly asked Di Jun.

Since the end of the war between the wizards and the lich, the demons retreated to heaven and no longer interfered with the affairs of the prehistoric world, and there was also a battle in the innate five elements and five directions formation.

This made many cultivators of the prehistoric creatures secretly look down on the demon clan and the Heavenly Court. Even if they really provoked Di Jun, Tai Yi and others, as long as they hid in the prehistoric land or the East China Sea in time, the demon clan and the Heavenly Court would be helpless.

Di Jun, Tai Yi and others cannot disobey the order of Hongjun Daozu and cause disputes with the Wu clan again, or face the innate five elements and five directions formation once again.

Seeing the changes in the stars around them, these living cultivators couldn't help but come to the starry sky to find out what was going on.

"Since they dare to intrude into the range of the Zhoutian Star Array, we will kill them all." After Di Jun finished speaking, his eyes shone with divine light. He looked at Kunpeng on the side and said lightly: "I also ask the demon master to go there personally and let them know that the divine power of our demon clan's heaven is inviolable!"

"Okay!" Kunpeng agreed lightly, his expression did not change at all, but a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes. He turned around and led a group of demon saints and demon gods towards the Zhoutian Star Array.

Looking at Kunpeng's departing back, Di Jun sneered.

At this time, Li Xuanyang had already emerged from the chaos and headed towards the prehistoric world. He passed through the thirty-three heavens and came to the prehistoric land.

As soon as he returned to the prehistoric land, Li Xuanyang vaguely discovered that the atmosphere in the prehistoric land was very different from when he left.

In the past, rays of light would fly across the sky from time to time, making it seem extremely lively.

But now it seems a lot quieter, and even if you meet a monk, he will just pass by in a hurry.

Even when passing through some Wu tribes, he was surprised to find that many of them were busy practicing battle formations, forging weapons, and preparing for war.

"Why would the Wu Clan suddenly gather their forces and prepare for war at this time? Are they planning to deploy their troops on Buzhou Mountain again and start a third war between the Wu and Lich Clan?"

On second thought, Li Xuanyang felt something was wrong.

Now it is not yet the time set by Hongjun Daozu, how dare the two tribes of Wu and Lich start disputes again!
The next moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly looked up at the starry sky and the direction of Buzhou Mountain, only to see dark clouds covering the sky and the sound of killing filling the field, heading towards the starry sky.

In the starry sky, countless lights are twinkling, and the divine light of the stars in the sky is diffused, making the entire prehistoric land appear to be a starry sky. Countless essences of the stars in the sky are scattered down, which is very beautiful.

"Huh!" Li Xuanyang's eyes revealed a hint of something strange. "Not only has the Zhoutian Star Array not stopped operating, but it seems to be attacking and encircling!"

"It seems that a cultivator has broken into the starry sky and entered the range of the Zhoutian Star Array!"

"Could it be that he was attracted by the strange phenomenon caused by my refining of the Zhoutian Star Map?"

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang's expression grew increasingly strange. Finally, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Di Jun, Tai Yi, are you angry out of shame? Or are you taking this opportunity to assert your authority?"

After just a quick glance, Li Xuanyang withdrew his gaze and rode the auspicious clouds towards the eastern part of the prehistoric world, heading towards the East China Sea.

As soon as he arrived in the eastern part of Honghuang, Li Xuanyang saw a mountain towering into the clouds. The mountains were endless, and the white clouds and green mist were vast and boundless.

What surprised him was that the innate spiritual energy in this mountain was extremely rich, not inferior to that of the East and West Kunlun Mountains, and it could be called a sacred mountain.

"Could it be a blessed place?" Looking at the mountain in front of him, Li Xuanyang showed a hint of surprise.

This place is called Zhongnan Mountain, one of the ancient sacred mountains. The Yuzhu Cave Heaven, one of the thirty-six cave heavens and seventy-two blessed places, is located in this mountain.

In the past, when the world was first created, an auspicious cloud was stained with a trace of the merit of the creation of the world and fell into the Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. After billions of years, it finally gave birth to a trace of spiritual intelligence and called itself Yun Zhongzi.

He stayed in the Jade Pillar Cave all day long, absorbing and exhaling the innate spiritual energy, practicing hard, and was about to transform into a human form and achieve the innate Taoist body.

Suddenly one day, Yun Zhongzi felt a sudden inspiration, and above the starry sky, the stars in the sky began to change. Countless essences of the stars in the sky fell down and were absorbed into his body. In just a moment, he actually attracted the transformation thunder tribulation, and he had to leave Yuzhu Cave in a hurry.

Suddenly, a large patch of dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, turning it pitch black. Lightning and thunder flashed, and countless thunders gathered and rolled.

The dark clouds accumulated more and more, covering the sky and the sun, and soon covered an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. They were still expanding and spreading in all directions.

The thunder gathered from the clouds and came to Yun Zhongzi's head, emitting the power to destroy the world, which made Yun Zhongzi panic.

Suddenly, a purple lightning fell from the sky and landed into Yun Zhongzi's body, causing the auspicious clouds to roll continuously, as if they were about to dissipate and collapse.

Yun Zhongzi's heart trembled. He didn't expect that this transformation thunder tribulation would be so powerful. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have attracted the thunder tribulation in a hurry. Every time the thunder struck his body, it dissipated a little, and his soul became increasingly dim.

As time went by, more and more thunder fell from the sky, and its power became stronger and stronger, becoming extremely explosive. It seemed that Yun Zhongzi's body was about to disappear completely, and billions of years of hard work turned into ashes.

Unexpectedly, countless golden lights suddenly appeared in the void and fell on Yun Zhongzi's body, drawing out a trace of the merit of creation from the depths of his soul and turning it into a golden wheel of merit. No matter whether it was the dark clouds in the sky or the falling thunder, they were all melted away by the golden light emitted by the golden wheel of merit, leaving only a trace of the original energy to merge into the soul.

Yun Zhongzi gradually regained consciousness and saw a golden cloud of light that had appeared in the sky above Mount Zhongnan. On the cloud stood a Taoist priest in a golden robe, looking at him with a smile. It was Li Xuanyang who had come to Mount Zhongnan.

Just as Li Xuanyang arrived in Zhongnan Mountain, he noticed that the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Below was an auspicious cloud surrounded by lightning, which was obviously undergoing a thunder tribulation of transformation.

He couldn't help but think of Hongyun, who was also a cloud incarnation, so he casually shot out a golden light of merit, which fell into Xiangyun's body and drew out the merit of creation in his soul.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky slowly began to disperse as the golden light of merit spread out. Yun Zhongzi's body gradually merged with the golden wheel of merit, attracting countless innate spiritual energy in the mountains to gather and forge an innate Taoist body. The whole body was surrounded by golden light, and the appearance was handsome, the face was as white as powder, the lips were like cinnabar with a little blood, and the appearance of an immortal Taoist.

"With auspicious clouds as its body, innate spiritual energy as its marrow, and a trace of merit from the creation of the world, it can be called a fairy of blessings and virtues!" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but praise.

Although this auspicious cloud is not the innate god or demon, it can also be counted as an innate number. When it was born, a trace of the merit of the creation of the world was incorporated into it, which can be said to be a deep blessing.

Yun Zhongzi familiarized himself with his body and then remembered the Taoist who had saved him just now. He immediately used his spiritual power to investigate, but he was suddenly shocked. The mountain was empty, so how could there be a Taoist in a golden robe?
However, just as Yun Zhongzi looked up, he saw the Taoist priest in a golden robe not far away, smiling at him. A golden light flickered around him, a mysterious sight. Yun Zhongzi calmed himself, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Yun Zhongzi of Zhongnan Mountain greets the master. Thank you for saving me!"

Yun Zhongzi from Mount Zhongnan!

"But it's the Yuzhu Cave Heaven, one of the thirty-six cave heavens in the ancient times?" Li Xuanyang was slightly surprised when he heard Yun Zhongzi introduce himself. It was indeed a blessed place.

"Teacher, this Zhongnan Mountain is exactly where the Jade Pillar Cave Heaven is located!" When asked by Li Xuanyang, Yun Zhongzi directly admitted it.

"You have a great opportunity. Not only have you been able to cultivate in the Jade Pillar Cave Heaven in Zhongnan Mountain, but your true body was also transformed from the Xianyun after the creation of the universe. You are naturally stained with a trace of the merits of the creation of the universe. If you succeed in your cultivation in the future and accumulate the mysterious and yellow energy of merit, you will be free from the influence of cause and effect, and will not be affected by disasters or calamities."

"It's just right for you to practice my Xuanyang Sutra and become a disciple of my Xuanyang Mountain lineage in the East China Sea. I wonder if you are willing?" When Li Xuanyang heard Yun Zhongzi's name, he planned to accept him as his disciple, so that the Xuanyang Mountain lineage would have another Golden Immortal of Fortune in the future.

Yun Zhongzi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his face full of joy, and he said, "Disciple greets the teacher, and wishes the teacher a long and healthy life!"

"Haha!" Li Xuanyang chuckled, waved his hand, and sent out a divine light, lifting Yun Zhongzi up. He said, "Since you have accepted me as your disciple, from today on, you will be the second disciple of the Xuanyang Mountain lineage."

"In addition, you have a senior brother named Kong Xuan, who is the son of the Phoenix."

"Son of the Phoenix!" Yun Zhongzi was shocked and couldn't help asking, "The phoenix that teacher is talking about, is it the Phoenix Clan, one of the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin?"

"You actually know about the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn?" Li Xuanyang was surprised. He didn't expect that Yun Zhongzi had heard of the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn just after he transformed.

"There are many creatures in Zhongnan Mountain who know how to practice cultivation. I often hear them talk about things in the ancient times. They once mentioned the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn." Yun Zhongzi said quickly.

"It's the Phoenix Clan." Li Xuanyang didn't introduce them further. He reached out and took out four huge spirit beads, each emitting the aura of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird. He said, "These are the Four Symbols Beads. I give them to you to protect you."

"Four Symbols Pearl?" Yun Zhongzi reached out to take the Four Symbols Pearl, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, wondering what the mystery of the Four Symbols Pearl was.

Li Xuanyang noticed Yun Zhongzi's confusion and pointed at the Four Symbols Pearl in his hand and said with a smile, "But you want to know the origin of this treasure?"

Hearing Li Xuanyang's question, Yun Zhongzi was startled and immediately bowed, saying, "Disciple, I just don't understand the mystery of this treasure!"

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This treasure, the Four Symbols Beads, is a set of top-grade innate spiritual treasures that my master recently acquired. They are divided into four beads: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird. Each one is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. If they are gathered together, they can be used to set up the Four Symbols Formation."

"You can sacrifice it and refine it into your primordial spirit. It will protect you with the power of the Four Symbols, making you immune to all evil and calming your mind. It is perfect for you to use for self-protection. In the future, when you have established your foundation for the Dao, you can sacrifice it and refine it into a magical instrument for achieving the Dao."

Innate spiritual treasure!

Yun Zhongzi was shocked. Although he had never seen an innate spiritual treasure and did not know its power, he had long heard of its preciousness.

Not to mention that he had just transformed, even many Golden Immortal cultivators had never seen the appearance of an innate spiritual treasure.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyang casually bestowed upon him a set of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

"Thank you very much, teacher, for giving me this treasure." Yun Zhongzi was deeply moved.

"Haha." Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Although this set of Four Symbols Beads is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it can't be called a 'treasure'."

Li Xuanyang then changed the subject and continued, "You have just transformed and forged your innate Dao body, and I have yet to pass on the Xuanyang Sutra. Although the Yuzhu Cave Heaven in Zhongnan Mountain is one of the thirty-six cave heavens in the prehistoric world, it is not a place to stay for long. You should go back and pack your things, and return to Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea with me as soon as possible to cultivate."

"In the future, when you have formed the Three Flowers and stepped into the realm of Daluo Jinxian, it will not be too late to return to Yuzhu Cave Heaven in Zhongnan Mountain to practice alone." Li Xuanyang thought it would be better to take Yun Zhongzi back to Xuanyang Mountain to practice.

Firstly, the Xuan Yang Sutra has not yet been passed down.

Secondly, the two races of wizards and liches will inevitably start disputes again sooner or later. During the catastrophe, who knows how many living beings and cultivators will die. Yun Zhongzi is practicing in the Yuzhu Cave Heaven in Zhongnan Mountain, and there is a possibility that he will get caught in the catastrophe.

Hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yun Zhongzi's face immediately showed joy, and he was about to agree immediately.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the spiritual root in the Jade Pillar Cave Heaven and said, "Teacher, I have an innate spiritual root in this Jade Pillar Cave Heaven, named Immortal Apricot. It has two fruits, Wind and Thunder, on it, but it has never matured. I wonder if it can be transplanted to Master's Xuanyang Mountain?"

Immortal apricot!

A gleam of light flashed in Li Xuanyang's eyes, and he couldn't help but admire that Yun Zhongzi was so blessed that he actually had an innate spiritual root.

This innate spiritual root fairy apricot can produce two fruits in its lifetime, and contains the innate laws of wind and thunder.

If you eat them together, you can gain the magical power of wind and thunder, which is very mysterious.

"This innate spiritual root cannot be transplanted easily. It is better to leave it in the Jade Pillar Cave Heaven." Li Xuanyang shook his head. The Jade Pillar Cave Heaven in Zhongnan Mountain has a mountain protection formation. As long as there are no cultivators coming in and out frequently, it will not be easily discovered.

What's more, this fairy apricot has already produced two fruits, and its roots are connected to the earth's veins. It cannot be moved easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Yun Zhongzi went to Yuzhu Cave, packed up briefly, and returned to Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Xuanyang transformed into a cloud of light and took Yun Zhongzi towards the East China Sea.

In just half a day, they had left the prehistoric world and arrived at the East China Sea.

Along the way, Li Xuanyang briefly introduced the general situation of the prehistoric world to Yun Zhongzi, from the great catastrophe of dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, to the last war between the wizards and liches, as well as the names of a group of powerful masters in the Zixiao Palace, so that Yun Zhongzi had a clear understanding of many things in the prehistoric world.

So as to avoid being like before, hanging out with ordinary immortals all day and listening to what they said.

I only know about the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn, but I don't know the name of the phoenix.

In just half a day, Yun Zhongzi had a lot of knowledge about the prehistoric world.

It turns out that in addition to the two tribes of wizards and liches, there are so many powerful people in the prehistoric times that even the two tribes of wizards and liches dare not provoke them easily.

And the senior brother Kong Xuan, whom Yun Zhongzi had not met yet, was even more shocking to hear. He was the son of the Phoenix, who was as famous as Zulong and Qilin, and the prince of the Phoenix clan, with a noble status.

He couldn't help but make up his mind that he must follow Li Xuanyang and practice diligently. As long as he didn't make progress in his practice, he would never set foot on the prehistoric land, so as to avoid being looked down upon by others as disciples of the Xuanyang Mountain lineage.

When they reached the sea eye, Li Xuanyang pointed to the depths below and said, "This is where Xuanyang Mountain is."

After he finished speaking, a golden cloud of light flashed under Li Xuanyang's feet and fell into the depths of the sea eye. The innate Yin-Yang formation automatically created a portal and he entered inside.

The next moment, Yun Zhongzi saw the whole picture of Xuanyang Mountain. He saw the innate spiritual energy turned into mist, and spiritual roots and immortal herbs could be seen everywhere. There were also flashes of innate spiritual light on both sides of the mountain. He didn't know whether they were innate spiritual roots or innate spiritual objects.

In addition, there are many pavilions and towers in the mountains, with a circle every five steps and a platform every three steps, which are exquisite.

Compared with his Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, it is far superior.

Just now, when the Xiantian Yin-Yang Formation was in operation, the Golden Crane, Silver Crane Boy, and Nine-Headed Feathered Insect saw Li Xuanyang returning on a golden auspicious cloud. They all came to the front of the palace, bowed to Li Xuanyang, and said, "Golden Crane, Silver Crane, and Nine-Headed Feathered Insect greet the Master!"

But when he saw that there was a very handsome Taoist following behind Li Xuanyang, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Get up." Seeing that Kong Xuan was not in the mountain, Li Xuanyang asked, "Has your senior brother ever come back?"

"The last time, my senior brother came back, he took some innate spiritual water and hurried to the prehistoric land. He hasn't come back yet." The Golden Crane Boy said very steadily.

It seemed Kong Xuan was still training in the prehistoric land. Li Xuanyang pointed at Yun Zhongzi behind him and introduced him, "This is Yun Zhongzi, a disciple I just accepted. The three of you should go and help Second Senior Brother choose a palace to settle down in, and then come back to me."

Li Xuanyang turned to Yun Zhongzi and said, "First, follow Jinhe and Yinhe to familiarize yourself with the things in the mountains. After some time, I will teach you the Xuanyang Sutra." After that, Li Xuanyang walked towards the Chaos Spirit Spring, intending to start refining the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

As soon as Li Xuanyang left, the Nine-headed Feathered Insect couldn't help but look at Yun Zhongzi curiously. Seeing that Yun Zhongzi was only at the level of a celestial immortal, not even as good as Jinhe and Yinhe, it didn't know why the master accepted him as his disciple.

Seeing this, the Golden Crane and Silver Crane boys glared at the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect in anger, then greeted Yun Zhongzi and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi."

"Yun Zhongzi greets my two junior brothers." Yun Zhongzi returned the greeting respectfully, secretly surprised in his heart. Whether it was the golden crane and silver crane boys in front of him, or the nine-headed feathered insect beside him, they all had a majestic aura, far superior to his own.

Even his teacher, the boy in the mountains, possessed such magical powers. Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
