Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 118: Comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi (Subscribe)

The demon race is easier to deal with.

The three fairy islands of Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang are far away from the primitive land, and there are few monsters coming and going on weekdays. In addition, the East China Sea is guarded by two quasi-saints with great supernatural powers, Li Xuanyang and Zhulong, so they are not afraid of the monsters.

But Nuwa has already attained the state of Hunyuan and is a saint, which is no small matter.

"May I ask, sage, if we accept the human race as our disciple, will it cause displeasure to Saint Nuwa?" Taoist Yingyue thought of the qualifications of the human race, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. He gritted his teeth and asked Li Xuanyang in a deep voice.

"I don't know the truth about this matter. You can decide for yourselves." Li Xuanyang didn't want to say much. Whether to accept the human race as a disciple depended on the decision of Taoist Yingyue and others.

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the matter and turned to Kong Xuan and the Nine-headed Feathered Insect, saying, "You two should go to the Houtu tribe and ask the Houtu Ancestral Witch or the Great Witch Xingtian for some ordinary spiritual rice."

"Master, why don't you ask Hou Tu Zu Wu directly for the finest spiritual rice?" The Nine-Headed Feathered Insect couldn't help but ask curiously, "Not only can it be used to feed these humans and help them cultivate, but it can also be used as seeds for farming."

"The human race is in a different situation from the witch race. For the time being, they don't need to rely on high-quality spiritual rice for cultivation. This time, I asked you to ask for spiritual rice only to feed the human race."

"What's more, given the current situation of the human race, it is difficult to open up high-quality spiritual fields at the moment. There is no need to waste good seeds." Li Xuanyang shook his head and said.

Although the human race is extraordinary, it has only been born not long ago. If one wants to open up a superior spiritual field, he must go to a place where spiritual mountains and innate spiritual energy converge.

Given the current state of the human race, they are unable to occupy such places, and even things like watering the spiritual fields and getting rid of insects are difficult to do.

We can't let Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and others continue to cultivate spiritual fields and grow high-quality spiritual rice for the human race.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for the human race to cultivate the most common five-colored nine-ear grain themselves, without coveting the improved high-quality spiritual rice.

"So that's how it is!" The Nine-headed Feathered Insect nodded in sudden realization, and then he and Kong Xuan each rode auspicious clouds and headed towards the Houtu tribe.

Yun Zhongzi and Yingyue Taoist, who had a gloomy look on his face, and others each sent down auspicious clouds, landed among the human race, and began to act according to Li Xuanyang's instructions.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang stood on the auspicious clouds and took out the innate gourd vine, intending to see if there were any changes. After all, he had inherited the merit of Nuwa's creation of human beings.

A faint golden light of merit appeared on the leaves of the innate gourd vine. The origin, which had become weak due to the exhaustion of spiritual power, gradually grew stronger and appeared to be full of vitality, without being damaged at all by the loss of the innate soil.

"Fellow Daoist, where did you get this innate spiritual root?" Zhulong's voice suddenly rang out. He looked at the innate gourd vine in Li Xuanyang's hand with a hint of surprise. "It actually contains the golden light of merit!"

"This is the Xiantian gourd vine!" Zhen Yuanzi vaguely recognized the Xiantian gourd vine, but its appearance seemed a little different from before.

"It is the innate gourd vine." Li Xuanyang smiled and told the story of how Nuwa created humans with the help of the innate gourd vine, and how she obtained the meritorious and mysterious energy from it.

"The merit of creating a saint!" Zhulong showed a trace of envy on his face when he heard this.

The innate gourd vine itself is one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric times. Now it has gained the merit of Nuwa's creation of human beings. Even if its quality is not greatly improved, at least it can be restored.

"What a good fortune, what a chance!" Zhen Yuanzi also became interested. He came close to the Xiantian gourd vine and looked at it in detail.

The innate spirit gourd on the innate gourd vine seemed to have undergone a slight change, which made Zhen Yuanzi's heart move. He suddenly raised his hand and shot out a stream of innate Yi wood energy towards the innate gourd vine, which was instantly absorbed by the innate spirit gourd on the vine.

The innate spiritual gourd, which had originally obtained a large amount of merit and golden energy, gradually restrained the merit and golden light under the influence of the innate Yi wood energy.

A hint of golden light slowly emerged on the originally emerald green gourd, faintly intertwined with the emerald green, presenting a layer of golden light on the gourd.

"Innate merit spiritual treasure!" Li Xuanyang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this innate spiritual gourd had integrated the merit of Xuanhuang and the innate Yimu energy, and actually turned into an innate merit spiritual treasure, containing the innate Yimu law and merit golden light.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help."

"You're welcome. I was just trying to send out a stream of innate Yi wood energy." Before Zhen Yuanzi finished his words, the emerald green innate spirit gourd suddenly flashed with light, showing the pattern of Nuwa shaping humans into clay, and it actually fell off by itself.

It first landed in front of Zhen Yuanzi and Li Xuanyang, circled around them, and then turned into a ray of light, falling towards the human race, faintly drawing out the golden light of merit contained in the human race.

"what!"

"Choose your own master!" Li Xuanyang exclaimed softly, waving his hand and sending out a divine light, which rolled the Xiantian Spirit Gourd back. "It seems that this object is destined to be with the human race."

The human race is created from the innate soil, and this innate spirit gourd not only contains the same merits of creating humans as the human race, but also has the innate Yi wood law, which is consistent with the properties of the innate soil.

What's more, this innate soil is itself the soil of the innate gourd vine, so it will choose its master on its own.

However, the time has not yet come for the human race to prosper, so there is no need to rush to let the Xiantian Spirit Gourd recognize its master.

"This thing contains the innate Yi wood law and the golden light of merit. If it is properly sacrificed and refined, it will be a top-grade innate spiritual treasure." There was a hint of envy in Zhulong's tone.

Although the dragon clan has no shortage of innate spiritual treasures, this kind of innate spiritual treasure of merit, which was created by chance, is the first time they have encountered it.

Even if its quality does not reach the level of the best innate spiritual treasure, it is still the best among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures. It is much stronger than the other innate spiritual gourds and is extremely suitable for entrusting one of the three corpses of good and evil.

The three of them examined the Xiantian Spirit Gourd in detail for a while, and then Zhen Yuanzi and Zhulong said goodbye to Li Xuanyang one after another. They each returned to the Taoist temple and planned to make preparations before going to the Heavenly Palace to listen to Nuwa's preaching.

Li Xuanyang also went back to Xuanyang Mountain, replanted the innate gourd vine, put the remaining innate soil back, and watered it with a few drops of innate spiritual water before he sorted out his insights into Nuwa's creation of humans from clay.

Every time Li Xuanyang thought of the primordial purple energy in the three flowers of Nuwa's primordial spirit, and the scene when she beheaded the corpse, he always felt a little confused.

"Is it evil thoughts that Nuwa cuts out? Or is it her own obsession?"

If it was just evil thoughts, then Nuwa used the cultivation level of the two corpses as a quasi-saint, and used the merit of creating humans to prove her way to sainthood, which is to become a saint through merit.

But if it is self-obsession, Nuwa would have achieved enlightenment through the cultivation of the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint, focusing on merit and virtue, supplemented by the method of beheading the Three Corpses, and ultimately achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint.

In addition, whether it is evil thoughts or self-obsession, normally the cultivator himself needs to understand the evil thoughts or self-obsession before he can use the innate spiritual treasure or the magic tool of enlightenment as a support to cut it out.

But when Li Xuanyang recalled the scene at that time, Nuwa seemed to have only joy on her face, and did not seem to have any evil thoughts or self-obsession. She just directly revealed the three flowers of her primordial spirit, and faintly saw the surging purple energy of Hongmeng.

"It's related to the Hongmeng Purple Qi!" Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang simply sacrificed the Innate Five-Directions Flag, reversing the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in Xuanyang Mountain, causing chaos in the heavens. He then took out the Chaos Pearl and let his soul fall into it, looking for traces of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Soon, Li Xuanyang saw the Hongmeng purple energy wrapped in countless thick chaotic energy in the depths of the Chaos Pearl.

Facing the primordial purple energy, he sat down cross-legged and tried to comprehend the mysteries contained therein.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi is a natural manifestation of the interaction between heaven and earth. It is extremely mysterious. If one does not know the way, even if a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers spends millions of years to comprehend it, he will ultimately know nothing.

But if the opportunity comes, one can attain enlightenment in one day and easily achieve the state of Hunyuan.

For example, this is the case with Nuwa, who attained enlightenment and became a saint.

Before he knew it, nearly a hundred years had passed. Li Xuanyang had been comprehending the Hongmeng purple energy inside the Chaos Pearl, and had never left.

However, he felt that he gained little.

This primordial purple energy seemed to contain the origin of the ancient world, including the laws of earth, wind, water, fire, yin and yang, the five elements, etc. It seemed that one could refine it with the primordial spirit, thereby improving one's own Taoist realm.

However, when Li Xuanyang tried, he found that he could not refine even a trace of the Hongmeng purple energy with his own spiritual power. Instead, the merit and mysterious yellow energy contained in the innate Yin and Yang divine diagram seemed to be able to attract the Hongmeng purple energy.

"If one wants to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi, one must first sever the three corpses of good and evil self, and then forcibly refine them with supreme Taoism and magic power. Then, with the help of the origin of heaven and earth contained in the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the three corpses can be united into one, and one's own soul can be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, reaching the realm of enlightenment and becoming a saint."

"This method of proving the Dao may not be as good as that of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, but it can also be considered as proving the Dao by beheading the three corpses."

"Apart from that, one can only use a large amount of merit and virtue to activate the origin of heaven and earth contained in the Hongmeng purple energy, thereby refining it into the primordial spirit, and then entrust the primordial spirit to the heavenly way, and prove the way with merit and virtue."

It can be said that becoming a saint through merit is the best way to refine the primordial purple energy. As long as there is enough merit and the mysterious yellow energy, one can achieve enlightenment.

Li Xuanyang was not short of the mysterious and yellow energy of merit, in fact, he had a lot of it, almost all of which was stored in the innate Yin and Yang divine diagram.

Including the basic cultivation methods passed down in the past, the sword cultivation methods, hieroglyphics, the five-colored nine-ear valley, etc., which have been obtained from the mysterious and yellow energy of merit.

In the future, there will be things like the Kongtong Seal, the Innate Twelve-Rank Purple Lotus of Reincarnation, the Book of the Underworld, the Zhoutian Star Map, etc., all of which can obtain the mysterious and yellow energy of merit, and even obtain it continuously.

With time accumulating, it may be possible to use the mysterious and yellow energy of merit to try to refine the primordial purple energy in the future.

But becoming a saint through merit is not what Li Xuanyang wants.

Now the innate five elements and five directions formation has been completely completed. There are five five elements Dharma bodies in charge, and the Chaos Pearl has been integrated into the formation to suppress it. Even if he has not yet achieved enlightenment and become a saint, he has the confidence to face a saint.

What's more, there are the Creation Artifact and the Chaos Immortal Body that have not yet been sacrificed.

If the divine artifact of creation could be refined, Li Xuanyang would really like to try and see if he could use it to damage the origin of the saint.

Generally speaking, this Hongmeng purple energy is of little use to Li Xuanyang for the time being, so he can only keep it in the Chaos Pearl and deal with it later.

Otherwise, if the Primordial Purple Qi was taken out and the changes in the heavens occurred, it might not be possible to hide it from the Saint. The Chaos Pearl was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, not something from the Primordial World, but a world of its own within it.

Not to mention a saint, even Hongjun Daozu might not be able to detect the changes in the Chaos Pearl.

In any case, in the short term, Li Xuanyang had no intention of taking out the Hongmeng Purple Qi, unless one day he could prove his way to sainthood through force, then perhaps he could give the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Kong Xuan or Yun Zhongzi.

Otherwise, let alone Kong Xuan and Yun Zhongzi, even if Li Xuanyang faced the saints and several future saints, the two tribes of witches and liches, and a group of great quasi-saints in the ancient times, he might not be able to keep the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Besides, the five Five Elements Dharma Bodies are only at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and are still a long way from being a Quasi-Saint. Li Xuanyang does not want to cause non-causal relations because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and thus have to face the Saint.

As for Hong Yun's residual soul and true spirit, Li Xuanyang has his own arrangements.

As soon as he came out of the Chaos Pearl, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and put the Innate Five Directions Flag and the Chaos Pearl into his soul. Then he opened the mountain protection formation. A ray of light flew in from outside Xuanyang Mountain and was summoned into Li Xuanyang's hand.

"Nuwa had already announced the date of the sermon at Mount Buzhou, so why bother sending a special jade talisman invitation?"

Li Xuanyang raised his eyebrows when he saw the contents of the jade talisman invitation. "Di Jun, Tai Yi!"

"It seems that Nuwa's enlightenment and sainthood have had a significant impact on the demon clan's heavenly court. Even Di Jun and Tai Yi personally sent jade talismans to invite all the great masters of prehistoric times to gather in heaven to listen to the teachings."

"But that's true. Nuwa is the Queen of the demon race in heaven. Now that she has achieved enlightenment and become a saint, the demon race has a saint in charge. We can take this opportunity to publicly announce to the prehistoric world that the demon race will be respected in the future."

"I'm afraid even Nuwa herself has this plan, otherwise why would she choose to preach in the Heavenly Palace instead of Fengqi Mountain." After saying this, a golden divine light flashed around Li Xuanyang's body, and he left Xuanyang Mountain, riding the cloud light, and headed towards Buzhou Mountain.

In just half a day, Li Xuanyang saw the tall Buzhou Mountain again, as well as the mountains and rivers that stretched for countless miles.

At this moment, rays of light were flying out from it, and the lowest among them were at the Golden Immortal level. It seemed that Di Jun and Tai Yi had invited many people for this sermon.

Looking from above the auspicious clouds, one can see auspicious light and clouds in the direction of the South Gate of Heaven.

Among them, the essence of the stars in the sky fell down, and countless star lights were derived, showing the atmosphere of the demon clan's heaven.

"This South Heaven Gate was built because of Mount Buzhou. For ordinary cultivators who want to travel to the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens and the outer space, it is best to go through Mount Buzhou, which can save a lot of distance."

"It's a pity that it is now blocked by the Zhoutian Star Array." Li Xuanyang shook his head, and with a flash of cloud light under his feet, he came to the outside of the South Heaven Gate, only to see Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan, actually coming here in person to welcome the cultivators who came to listen to the teachings.

Seeing Li Xuanyang descending from the auspicious cloud and approaching, Taiyi's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyang, please come in. There will be palace maids and fairies to lead you to the Wahuang Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang simply nodded to Taiyi, and then, led by a palace maid, walked into the Heavenly Palace and headed towards the Wahuang Palace deep in the thirty-six heavens.

On the way, Ji Meng, one of the ten demon saints, came to receive them in person.

Along the way, Ji Meng was leading the way in person, which attracted many guests' attention and some even whispered their guesses.

The last time Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi came to Heaven, they had encountered a similar scene. They did not find it strange and just looked around. It seemed that every cultivator who had reached the state of enlightenment had a demon saint or demon god at the level of Daluo Jinxian to receive him.

These demon saints and demon gods all had happy expressions on their faces, and there was a hint of pride in their tone.

However, I did not see the figures of the other ten demon saints. I don’t know if it is because I am treated differently, or because the treatment of quasi-saints with great supernatural powers is the same.

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle and glanced at Ji Meng, which made Ji Meng feel a chill all over his body and he hurriedly took a few steps.

Li Xuanyang didn't seem to mind this at all. He was just a little surprised at the number of demon saints and demon gods in the demon clan's heaven. He had met no less than a hundred Daluo Jinxian alone, not to mention the demon gods and demon saints who ruled the starry sky.

It can be seen that Di Jun and Tai Yi have invested a lot of money and almost displayed all the strength of the demon clan's heavenly court.

Under the guidance of Ji Meng, Li Xuanyang came to the door of a hall and stopped.

Ji Meng said respectfully, "Master, this is the Queen Wa Palace. Please come in and rest for a while while waiting for the Queen Wa to begin her sermon."

This Nuwa Palace was not newly built. Instead, it was specially built by Emperor Jun after Fuxi and Nuwa accepted the positions of Emperor Xi and Emperor Nuwa before the last war between the wizards and the undead. Its area is almost comparable to that of the Lingxiao Palace.

Li Xuanyang nodded slightly and walked into the Queen Nuwa Palace. The space inside the palace was vast and boundless, with countless lights emanating with bursts of power. Those who were not well-trained would probably not be able to gain a foothold.

Passing through this protective hall, one sees a larger palace, which is majestic, surrounded by countless clouds and mists, and filled with the essence of the surrounding stars. Colorful divine light flickers in the sky above the palace, generating thousands of rays of light.

It is even more imposing than the Lingxiao Palace.

Li Xuanyang walked into the hall and saw that the cultivators who had arrived earlier had already taken their seats. There was a table in front of them with various spiritual fruits and drinks on it. They were talking to each other in low voices.

From time to time, they pointed at the demon saints and demon gods passing through the hall, revealing a hint of envy. With Nuwa in charge, wouldn't these demon saints and demon gods be able to hear the saint's teachings frequently?

Li Xuanyang looked inside again and saw Fuxi, a beaming man. He strode towards him and greeted him warmly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat!"

"My sister was able to attain enlightenment and become a saint this time, all thanks to the Xiantian Xirang given by fellow Taoist. Please accept my gift from Fuxi!" As he spoke, Fuxi suddenly bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang, his tone full of gratitude.

"Why do you have to do this, fellow Daoist?" Li Xuanyang quickly moved aside, reached out and helped Fuxi up, saying, "This time, fellow Daoist Nuwa has attained sainthood. How dare I take credit for it?"

Only after inviting Li Xuanyang to sit down did Fuxi say goodbye and go to greet the other quasi-saints and powerful people who came to listen to the teachings.

However, because of the Hongyun incident last time, Li Xuanyang used the innate five elements and five directions formation to trap Di Jun and Tai Yi and fought with them.

Even though Fuxi came to greet him personally, the palace maids and fairies in the palace kept their distance. They only brought some spiritual fruits and drinks and then hurried away, for fear of talking to him.

Li Xuanyang was not angry. Instead, he stood up and sat down beside Zhen Yuanzi with a smile, saying jokingly, "It seems that I am not the only one who is not welcomed. Even the spiritual fruits and drinks on your table have not been brought by the palace maids and fairies."

"Haha, I came here to listen to the teachings, not to taste the spiritual fruits and drinks." Zhen Yuanzi also laughed and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You turned a good sermon into a banquet and celebration. Di Jun and Tai Yi have lost the face of the demon clan and the heavenly court."

"Nuwa has achieved enlightenment and become a saint, so Di Jun and Tai Yi will naturally celebrate with great fanfare." Li Xuanyang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If he were in her place, he would also not be able to help but celebrate.

"My two fellow Daoists, be careful with your words." Seeing Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi, Zhulong stepped over and reminded them, "This is the Empress Nuwa Palace. I'm afraid our words may be..."

Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood what Zhulong meant. With the saint's magical powers, he would probably be able to easily detect every move in the hall.

"Okay, since we are all here to listen to the teachings, let's not talk about other things for now." Li Xuanyang simply waved his hand and didn't intend to continue the discussion.

The three of them turned to talking about the way of creation, waiting for Nuwa to begin her preaching.

Not long after, a vast and ethereal bell sound suddenly rang out in the hall.

In an instant, the entire Wahuang Palace was filled with divine light, the sky was filled with morning glow, and its appearance changed drastically.

Li Xuanyang only felt a flash of light in his eyes, and vaguely realized that the laws of space were derived. The Queen Wa Palace was forcibly transformed into a world of its own by using magic power and the laws of space, which was full of endless vitality. The laws of creation spread out, continuously expanding the entire space.

The divine light that just now shone brightly was the brilliance emanating from the laws of creation and the laws of space.

"The Law of the Great Dao of Space!" Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "By fusing the Law of Creation with the Law of the Great Dao of Space, such a mystical transformation has occurred. He is truly worthy of being a saint. I am even more humbled than him."

Zhen Yuanzi and Zhu Long also had heavy expressions on their faces. Although they had not seen Nuwa use her magical powers, just by looking at the means before them, they knew that her magical powers must be vast and boundless, far surpassing the quasi-saints in the prehistoric world.

As soon as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, Nuwa appeared out of thin air above the hall, and a pleasant voice could be heard faintly, "Thank you for the compliment, fellow Daoist. I simply used the power of the laws of creation to evolve this space."

Seeing Nuwa appear, everyone in the hall stood up and bowed to her, "We greet the Saint!"

"No need for formalities, fellow Daoists. Simply address each other as fellow Daoists!" Nuwa gracefully sat down and glanced at everyone. Seeing that Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti all seemed hesitant to speak, she spoke, "Fellow Daoists, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, are you proving the truth through merit?" Taoist Jie Yin stood up and asked.

"It is the merit that proves the Dao!" Nuwa retracted her gaze, then seemed to glance at Li Xuanyang and said, "I achieved the Dao and became a saint through the merit of creating humans. With the help of the boundless merit and profound yellow energy, I refined the Hongmeng purple energy bestowed by my teacher, and thus achieved the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."

The boundless merits and mysterious energy!

The expressions of Sanqing, Jie Yin and Zhunti changed slightly. It required infinite merits and Xuanhuang Qi to refine Hongmeng Purple Qi. No wonder they and others had practiced hard in seclusion for many years but gained nothing from Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"I wonder if Queen Nuwa has managed to sever her own obsession?" Before the Taoist Jieyin could speak again, Taiyi stood up and asked, "Or, how can one understand one's own obsession, place it on the innate spiritual treasure, and sever it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Nuwa with longing in their eyes.

In fact, Li Xuanyang had already asked Hongjun Daozu about how to understand self-obsession in Zixiao Palace in the past.

At that time, no one took it seriously, believing that there was not much difference between self-obsession and good thoughts or evil thoughts, and that they could be eliminated sooner or later by simply using the method of beheading corpses.

However, until now, looking at all the quasi-saints with great supernatural powers in the prehistoric world, no one has been able to cut off his own obsession, and even those who can cut off the evil corpses are very few.

Most of the time, it is only by chance that they realize their own evil thoughts.
