Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 129: Hiding Under Mount Xumi (Please Subscribe)

"Teacher, Senior Brothers Kong Xuan and Yun Zhongzi have ordered us to come and investigate the battle between the Lich and the Witch tribes, to prevent it from spreading to the coast of the East China Sea."

The Golden Crane Child bowed to Li Xuanyang and said, "My two senior brothers are currently personally in charge of the human tribe, fearing that some evil cultivators will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos."

Whenever the war between the Lich and the Warlock races breaks out, there will always be undercurrents in the world. Some evil monks will take the opportunity to come out and kill the living monks and take their essence, blood and souls.

As soon as the Golden Crane Boy finished speaking, Li Xuanyang nodded in praise and said, "Now that this matter has come to an end, it's time for us to leave."

At that moment, Li Xuanyang stretched out his hand and summoned a golden cloud of light and flew up. The golden crane, the silver crane boy and the nine-headed feathered insect landed on the cloud one after another, and flew towards the coast of the East China Sea with Li Xuanyang.

After leaving Tanggu, only half a day's journey away, Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and Yingyue Taoist were seen hurriedly coming, each riding on a cloud of light.

Seeing Li Xuanyang standing on the golden cloud light, the three of them quickly rode the cloud light to greet him and bowed to Li Xuanyang.

"Meet the teacher!"

"I've seen a real person!"

Just now, when they saw the golden crane, silver crane boy and nine-headed feathered insect behind Li Xuanyang, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xuanyang waved at them, signaling them to fly to the cloud light. With a hint of smile, he asked casually, "Has anything happened recently?"

After hearing Li Xuanyang's question, Kong Xuan thought for a while and even glanced at the three people including the Golden Crane Boy, which frightened them so much that they waved their hands repeatedly.

Kong Xuan then said respectfully to Li Xuanyang, "Some time ago, Master Zhen Yuanzi came to the human tribes along the East China Sea coast and settled there for a while. He relocated some of the human tribes to the vicinity of Wanshou Mountain and settled them there."

"Wanshou Mountain!" Li Xuanyang had a slight smile on his face. He was not surprised at all, and even had a vague thought in his mind.

In later generations, the human race revered Zhen Yuanzi as the ancestor of earthly immortals and regarded him as the equal of the world.

"Master is planning to go to the western part of the prehistoric world. Do you want to return to the East China Sea coast, or go to the western part of the prehistoric world with Master?" Li Xuanyang did not care about the affairs of the Golden Crane Boy and the other two, but asked them.

The primitive west!

Several people looked at each other, wondering why Li Xuanyang suddenly planned to go to the western part of the prehistoric world.

Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and others had never been to the western part of the prehistoric world. They had only heard of the names of the two future saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti, from the West.

Only the Nine-headed Feathered Insect had traveled to the southwest with Li Xuanyang and stayed in the West Kunlun Mountains for a period of time. He was not unfamiliar with the western part of the prehistoric world.

"Master, are you going to West Kunlun?" A hint of excitement flashed across the Nine-headed Feathered Insect's face, and he couldn't help but think of Qingluan.

Seeing the appearance of the nine-headed feathered insect, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but guess what it was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh, "It's not West Kunlun, but Mount Xumi."

"Mount Sumeru!" The nine-headed feathered insect looked confused. It had never heard of the name of Mount Sumeru in West Kunlun.

"It's up to the teacher!" At this time, Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi, Golden Crane Boy and Silver Crane Boy said in unison.

"It's all at the Immortal's command!" There was a hint of excitement in Taoist Yingyue's tone. He really had a good opportunity to travel with Li Xuanyang to the western part of the prehistoric world. He would definitely gain more knowledge and experience. It was really a great fortune.

………………

After returning to Tanggu, Di Jun and Xihe were still distraught and filled with grief and anger!
Taiyi's eyes were wide open, flashing with rage, and he gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Fusang tree!"

At this time, the Tang Valley was empty. There was no trace of the Fusang tree. Even the earth veins and spiritual veins in the valley had disappeared, leaving only a huge deep pit with the lingering scent of the Fusang tree.

"Who on earth dares to plot against my son like this!" Veins popped up on Di Jun's face, and murderous intent shot up into the sky.

How could Emperor Jun not understand at this time that this time a powerful person deliberately lured Prince Jinwu out and took the opportunity to take away the Fusang tree.

"Why aren't you awake yet!" At this moment, Taiyi saw that the demon saints and demon gods stationed in Tanggu had their six senses sealed, and they were completely unaware of his arrival. He became extremely angry and immediately waved his hand to send out a golden divine light.

However, these demon saints and demon gods remained indifferent and did not change at all.

"What a strange magical power!" Taiyi's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "This is definitely not the work of the Wu clan. It must be a quasi-saint with great magical powers from the Qigong lineage, or even..."

Without Taiyi's explicit explanation, everyone also thought of the future saints such as Sanqing, Jie Yin and Zhunti.

"He plotted against my son, provoking a war between the two races of wizards and liches, and took the opportunity to take the Fusang tree. It was really a good plan." Di Jun's teeth were grinding, and his eyes were flashing with uncontrollable anger.

After a long while, Di Jun finally suppressed his anger and turned to Xihe, saying, "I plan to send Xiao Shi to the Wahuang Heaven to practice."

Be it the upcoming war between the two tribes of wizards and liches, or the schemes between the quasi-saints and future saints of the Qigong lineage, Di Jun had no time to care about anything else.

At present, only Nuwa, who is a saint, can protect the tenth brother.

"That's good. With the Queen's protection, Xiao Shi will be safe no matter what the final outcome of our two tribes of witches and liches is." Di Jun's proposal made Xihe, who was immersed in sadness, reluctantly show a hint of joy, and she immediately agreed.

At this time, Li Xuanyang and his group were heading west from the inland of the prehistoric world.

Li Xuanyang didn't know the exact location of Mount Xumi, so he simply stopped and walked along the way, and occasionally sent down cloud light to explain the secrets of the ancient times or the magical powers of Taoism to Kong Xuan and others.

But the further west we went, the more desolate it seemed. When we arrived in the western part of the primitive world, we looked around and saw desolation everywhere. There were few towering mountains and cliffs. All we could see was a dusty desert with no grass or trees growing.

There was a dry and hot smell in the air. There was no innate spiritual energy, only very thin acquired spiritual energy.

Li Xuanyang had been prepared for the appearance of the western part of the prehistoric world and was not surprised, but Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and others became more and more confused.

"I've often heard that the West is a barren land. But now that I've truly arrived in the western part of the Great Desolation, I've finally witnessed just how barren the West is. I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to cultivate."

"It's far worse than the southern part of the prehistoric world." Kong Xuan felt the thin spiritual energy, and even the earth veins and spiritual veins were rarely encountered. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Deep in the southern part of the prehistoric world, close to the Immortal Volcano, it is very hot. Even the innate spiritual energy has a hint of heat. If you want to refine it, you have to spend a lot of effort.

However, it is much better than the primitive West in front of us.

"Teacher, why is this place so barren?" Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but ask.

"In the past, people with great supernatural powers fought here, causing the earth veins in the western part of the prehistoric world to be broken and the spiritual veins to disappear. Over time, it became what it is today." Li Xuanyang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After billions of years, the western part of the prehistoric world still showed no signs of recovery.

It is conceivable that the battle between Hongjun Daozu and Demon Ancestor Luohou was so shocking that it had already surpassed the realm of quasi-saints.

"At that time, Daozu Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou were probably already at the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint realm. They had also set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, and the power of Demon Ancestor Luohou's self-destruction had almost turned the western part of the prehistoric world into a dead zone."

"Now there is only thin acquired spiritual energy left, but for ordinary living cultivators, the acquired spiritual energy is enough." Li Xuanyang suddenly had this thought, and then smiled.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of innate spiritual energy in the prehistoric world, which is incomparable to acquired spiritual energy.

"No wonder Jie Yin and Zhunti created the method of relic preservation of the primordial spirit and practiced it with the power of thoughts and merits." Li Xuanyang suddenly thought of the method of relic preservation of the primordial spirit and the merits created by Jie Yin and Zhunti.

This method is different from the Three Flowers of the Soul. Even if one does not have innate spiritual energy, one can still practice with mental power and merit, and eventually forge the Soul Relics, step into the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and even use mental power and merit to practice Taoist magic, and condense and forge various magical instruments.

It can be said to be unique.

"Master, the western part of the prehistoric world is so desolate. How come the two future saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti, stay here to practice?" Taoist Yingyue suddenly thought of the two future saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti. With their Taoist powers and the status of future saints, why do they need to stay in such a place to practice? They can go to the inland of the prehistoric world and occupy a blessed place as a place of practice.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a strange look. It must be said that these two were people with great perseverance, far beyond the reach of ordinary quasi-saints.

What's more!

"There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine natural evolutions. There is always a glimmer of hope."

Taoist Yingyue, Kong Xuan and Yun Zhongzi looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Li Xuanyang meant.

However, the Golden Crane, Silver Crane Boy and the Nine-headed Feathered Insect began to think thoughtfully.

"Jiuyu once went to the southwest with the master. It was just as desolate, with few living beings or cultivators."

"But deep in the southwest, there are two sacred mountains, reflecting the duality of yin and yang. One is East Kunlun Mountain, the dojo of the Three Pure Ones; the other is West Kunlun Mountain, the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West." The Golden Crane Child spoke as he looked toward the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect. Hearing the Golden Crane Child's words, Taoist Yingyue was startled. The Three Pure Ones were future saints, needless to say; the Queen Mother of the West was also the foremost of the female immortals of the prehistoric world, possessing vast celestial powers. For them to choose a sacred mountain as their dojo must be extraordinary.

"Teacher, are you saying that there is also a sacred mountain here that is similar to the two Kunlun Mountains in the east and west?" Yun Zhongzi's eyes lit up and he asked Li Xuanyang hurriedly.

"Not bad." Li Xuanyang nodded in praise and said, "However, Kunlun Mountain is formed by the gathering of spiritual energy from the entire southwest region, while the spiritual mountain here is somewhat different."

Having said this, Li Xuanyang glanced into the distance before continuing, "This mountain is called Babao Lingshan. It is the place of practice for Jieyin and Zhunti."

"It is said that when the universe was first created, a ray of merit descended upon this mountain, eventually transforming into a pool of eight-treasure merit. This is the place where Jie Yin and Zhunti took shape."

"This Eight Treasures Merit Pond has the miraculous power of purifying impurities, clearing the mind, and reshaping the body. It can even be used to nurture lotus seeds from the Twelve-Rank Innate Merit Golden Lotus. Furthermore, the Seven Treasures Thousand-Petal Golden Lotus grows in the pond. This is also an innate lotus that can calm the mind and ward off evil. It is truly mysterious and extraordinary."

After hearing Li Xuanyang's introduction, several people were amazed and their faces lit up. It was worthy of being the dojo of two future saints, it was truly extraordinary.

Yun Zhongzi thought of the merit he possessed in creating the world, as well as the Chaos Spirit Spring, the innate white jade lotus, and the innate purple lotus in Xuanyang Mountain.

"How do these Eight Treasures Merit Pond and Seven Treasures Thousand-Leaf Golden Lotus compare to the Chaos Spirit Spring in our mountains?"

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Master, I've never seen the Eight Treasures Merit Pond or the Seven Treasures Thousand-Leaf Golden Lotus, so it's hard to compare them with the Primal Chaos Spirit Spring."

"That Innate Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, however, was transformed from the lotus seed of the Thirty-Sixth-Rank Primal Chaos Azure Lotus. It is a top-grade Innate defensive spiritual treasure that can be used to suppress the destiny of a certain faction. Its preciousness is comparable to my Master's Innate Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus."

"This Eight Treasures Merit Pool is so extraordinary!" Kong Xuan was a little surprised. Not only did he know the preciousness of the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, he even had an innate ninth-grade white jade lotus to protect him.

And the Eight Treasures Merit Pool can actually breed the lotus seeds of the Innate Twelve-Level Merit Golden Lotus. This alone is enough to illustrate its extraordinary nature.

What's more, there is also the Seven Treasures Thousand-Leaf Golden Lotus growing there, which must be an extraordinary thing.

Several people crossed the desert and Gobi and gradually came to the depths of the western part of the prehistoric world. If they went further, they would reach the westernmost area.

This place is even worse than the previous place. There is not a trace of spiritual energy. Even acquired spiritual energy does not exist, let alone innate spiritual energy.

It can be said that all living things have disappeared and there is no vitality.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang faintly sensed a trace of the breath left over from the broken space. He couldn't help but secretly calculate it, and then he showed a hint of realization.

"Teacher, why is there not even a trace of earth spiritual energy here!" Yun Zhongzi suddenly asked Li Xuanyang.

Compared with this place, the previous desert Gobi can be considered a great place for spiritual practice.

If Yun Zhongzi had not come here in person, he would not have believed that there was such a place without any spiritual energy in the ancient times.

"This is the Mount Xumi that Master spoke of. It was once the most blessed place in the western part of the Great Desolation." Li Xuanyang's eyes flickered with a hint of joy as he said, "You can take a closer look. Perhaps you can spot a clue."

"The number one paradise in the western part of the prehistoric world!" Several people looked at the barren land in front of them. There were only extremely tall mountains and some huge rocks left. There was no sign of any paradise at all.

Li Xuanyang ignored the few people and carefully looked at the Mount Sumeru in front of him. The next moment, the three flowers of his primordial spirit appeared directly. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Xuanyang divine light shot up into the sky, and he used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding area of ​​billions of miles.

However, not only did they fail to find the whereabouts of the third-grade black lotus of destruction, they didn't even sense a trace of spiritual light.

"Mount Xumi was originally a blessed place, so there should be an entrance to the cave." Li Xuanyang stared at the extremely tall mountain of Mount Xumi, and suddenly summoned the innate Yin and Yang divine diagram, which turned into a black and white divine light, falling into the mountain. Together with the innate Xuan Yang divine light, he began to explore carefully again.

When several people saw Li Xuanyang display the three flowers of his soul and the magical instrument for achieving enlightenment, although they were very curious, they did not dare to disturb him. They all withdrew from Mount Xumi and waited quietly for what was going on.

After a moment, the black and white divine light and the innate Xuanyang divine light gradually penetrated deep into the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Suddenly, several sword sounds were heard, and very weak sword energy rushed out, which made several people feel extremely horrified. Their bodies became cold and their souls became stiff. The sharp sword energy pierced their bodies and caused them to feel pain all over. They only felt a murderous aura and a cold wind.

It seemed to be even more vicious than Li Xuanyang's Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, and its killing power was also many times stronger.

"An innate killing sword!" Kong Xuan's eyes narrowed. He exchanged glances with Yun Zhongzi and Taoist Yingyue, and almost said in unison, "Could it be that an innate sword was born here?"

"That's not the case." Not far away, Li Xuanyang heard the surprise of several people and said, "It's just a trace of sword energy left over from the past."

"Just a trace of remaining sword energy has such power!" Several people were more and more shocked, and Taoist Yingyue even sighed that his trip was worthwhile.

Li Xuanyang sensed the four sword energies emanating from the foot of Mount Xumi. For some reason, he suddenly began to chant softly, "Neither copper, nor iron, nor steel, once hidden beneath Mount Xumi. Without the need for reversing yin and yang to refine it, how could it be tempered by water and fire? 'Punish the Immortal' is sharp, 'Slaughter the Immortal' is deadly, 'Trap the Immortal' emits a red glow everywhere; 'Exterminate the Immortal' has infinite changes and wonders, even the clothes of the Great Luo Immortal are stained with blood."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and others were shocked, remembering the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation that Li Xuanyang had mentioned. Could it be that a trace of sword energy was left behind by the Four Swords of Zhu Xian?
"No wonder it's slightly better than Teacher's Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword." Kong Xuan exclaimed in admiration, but at the same time felt a little regretful that he had no chance to see the true appearance of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

"I think the Demon Ancestor Luohou got the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram at the foot of Mount Xumi, but was it the third-grade black lotus of destruction?" Li Xuanyang's mind moved, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the three flowers of the soul. Suddenly, bursts of black divine light emerged, and it was the broken innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction that was sacrificed.

I saw the aura of the law of destruction spreading out from the sky, falling to the foot of Mount Sumeru, and gradually spreading.

The next moment, a broken third-grade black lotus slowly floated out from the bottom of Mount Sumeru and hovered above the top of the mountain. The lotus body emitted a faint light, which was very dim.

"The lotus body of the third-grade black lotus of destruction!" Li Xuanyang thought of the residual soul of the Demon Ancestor Luohou, and could not help but sacrifice the innate twelfth-grade reincarnation purple lotus and the five-direction flag, turning it into a divine light, rolled it back, placed it in front of him, and examined it carefully.

There are tiny cracks all over the lotus body, densely packed together, covering the entire lotus body, which is very similar to the state of the other nine-grade lotus bodies obtained in the past.

The only difference is that this third-grade lotus body is more broken. In addition to tiny cracks, there are also gaps of various sizes, with traces of sword energy remaining on them, as if it could completely shatter at any time.

"It's so broken!" Li Xuanyang frowned, but fortunately he could faintly feel that the lotus body contained the endless power of the law of destruction, which had not yet been completely wiped out by the sword energy.

"The Innate Twelve-Rank Black Lotus of Destruction seemed to have been damaged by Daozu Hongjun's Pangu Banner, and then affected by the self-explosion of Demon Ancestor Luohou. Ultimately, the missing third rank fell to the foot of Mount Xumi and was corroded by the remaining sword energy of the Four Immortal Execution Swords."

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang summoned the innate Xuanyang True Fire and the innate Liangyi True Fire, and the divine light transformed from the innate twelve-grade reincarnation purple lotus fell onto the third-grade destructive black lotus.

Then, Li Xuanyang sacrificed the Chaos Pearl again, and together with the Innate Five-Directions Flag, evolved the Law of Chaos. It also fell on the lotus body and began to refine it with his primordial spirit and magic power. He found that there was no residual soul of the Demon Ancestor Luohou in it, and even the spiritual light contained in the lotus body was very dim.

Then it turned into a black light and fell onto the broken innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, gradually merging into one and turning into a complete innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction.

However, the third-grade lotus body was very broken, which seemed a bit out of place.

"It seems that the innate twelfth-grade karma fire red lotus and the innate twelfth-grade merit golden lotus are still indispensable." Li Xuanyang had just deduced that if he wanted to completely merge this third-grade lotus body with the innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, or even restore it to its original state, he had to continue to devour the essence of the other innate twelve-grade lotus flowers.

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but sigh secretly, but fortunately he found the third-grade lotus body, so the trip was finally worthwhile.

At that moment, Li Xuanyang put the innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction into the Chaos Pearl, and also took back many spiritual treasures into his primordial spirit, and took back the three flowers of his primordial spirit.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan, Yun Zhongzi and the others stepped forward, bowed to Li Xuanyang, and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Teacher, on obtaining the Third-Rank Lotus Body!"

"Congratulations, Immortal, for obtaining a precious treasure!" After Taoist Yingyue finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of the several innate spiritual treasures that Li Xuanyang had just sacrificed. Not only did they make him dazzled, but the aura they emitted was also vast and boundless. It was obvious that they were not ordinary innate spiritual treasures, but must be top-grade without a doubt.

"May I ask, sir, what is the origin of this third-grade black lotus?" Taoist Yingyue suddenly asked.

"Do you remember what I mentioned before, the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit and the thirty-six-grade blue lotus of chaos!" Li Xuanyang smiled and asked Taoist Yingyue.

"Could it be one of the other three innate twelve-grade lotus flowers that are as famous as the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit?" Taoist Yingyue was greatly surprised and could not help but open his mouth in disbelief.

"It is the third-grade lotus body among the twelve innate lotus flowers." Li Xuanyang did not reveal the origin of the name of the twelve-grade innate destructive black lotus.

At this time, within Babao Lingshan, mist and haze spread a riot of color, the sun and moon flickered in brilliance. Thousands of ancient cypresses and tens of thousands of bamboos shone, tinging the mountain with rain-soaked green. A misty path stretched a veiled expanse of hues. Outside the gate, exotic flowers adorned the landscape, fragrant herbs bloomed beside the bridge, peaches blossomed on the ridge, crimson blossoms bloomed, and lush green grass grew at the cave entrance. Bodhi trees and golden lotuses were everywhere.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, there was a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in a yellow Taoist robe. He was none other than the Guide Taoist, one of the two Western Taoist priests.

"what!"

The Taoist Jie Yin suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the depths of the western part of the prehistoric world. With a hint of surprise and astonishment, he said, "Although this sword energy is very weak, it is extremely pure and contains the power of killing and attack. It is even slightly stronger than Li Xuanyang's Swallowing Moon Soul-Devouring Sword."

"Looking at its direction, it seems to be near the westernmost land. Could it be that an innate sword has been born?"

"But the innate Gengjin Qi of the western part of the prehistoric world was long ago extracted by the White Tiger, resulting in a deficiency of the innate five elements. Furthermore, the innate spiritual energy and earth veins no longer exist. How could an innate sword be born?"

Thinking of this, the Taoist Jie Yin could not help but call his disciple Yao Shi over. After giving him a few instructions, he got up and left Babao Lingshan, heading towards the westernmost land.
