Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 146: Judge's Pen and Great Aspirations (Please Subscribe)
Riding the auspicious cloud all the way back to Xuanyang Mountain, Li Xuanyang and Changxi did not encounter any unexpected situations. He only used the Innate Five Directions Flag to disrupt the two's divine power on the way.

But Huang Zhongli was lost, Cui Wei and Jin Ao died, and even the Beast King God was lured out.

Li Xuanyang had anticipated this. Huang Zhongli was so precious in itself, not to mention that two quasi-saints with great supernatural powers had fallen there.

Fortunately, this time the harvest was not small. Not only did I get the Huangzhongli, but I also got a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. The trip was finally worthwhile.

After returning to Xuanyang Mountain, Li Xuanyang asked Changxi to go back to sacrifice to the glass lamp and practice the Chaos Immortal Body.

However, he had no intention of planting the Huangzhongli, but instead left it in the Chaos Pearl together with the Fusang tree for the time being.

After sitting down in the palace, Li Xuanyang took out the shell of the golden turtle and prepared to examine it in detail.

When Li Xuanyang first got this turtle shell, he vaguely sensed something unusual about it.

Now, after using his spiritual sense to enter and conduct a detailed investigation, he discovered that the shell of the turtle was covered with dense patterns, which seemed to be innate runes, and naturally contained the breath of laws.

Not only is it extremely hard, it also has the magical effect of gathering innate spiritual energy and even contains the great laws of the Golden Ao.

Its preciousness is almost as great as an innate spiritual treasure.

"Unfortunately, this thing is related to the Demon Ancestor Luohou and the Beast King Shen Ni, and I'm afraid it will lead to cause and effect." Li Xuanyang shook his head, put it away, waved his hand and shot out a jade talisman, which turned into a ray of light and fell into the void.

At this time, Taoist Shangqing was in trouble in the South China Sea, just as Li Xuanyang had said in Xuanyang Mountain.

Nowadays, there are no suitable spiritual islands in the South China Sea. Even ordinary spiritual islands are few in number, and most of them are occupied by spiritual cultivators or the South China Sea dragon clan. They cultivate spiritual fields and set up formations to gather spiritual energy to grow various colorful nine-ear grains.

Taoist Shangqing looked at the vast spiritual fields on the spiritual island below and sighed slightly, thinking to himself, "It seems that we can only go to the North Sea or the West Sea. I believe that there are relatively fewer spiritual cultivators in these two places, so we can find a suitable spiritual island."

Just as the Taoist Shangqing was about to ride on the clouds and leave, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky. The Taoist Shangqing stretched out his hand and summoned it into his palm. It turned out to be a jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyang, why did you send me a jade talisman?"

Taoist Shangqing showed a hint of doubt on his face. He used his spiritual consciousness to look into the jade talisman, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Teacher, what's this?" Taoist Duobao couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw the look on the face of his teacher Taoist Shangqing.

"You can't go to the North Sea or the West Sea." The Shangqing Taoist smiled and put away the jade talisman. He turned to Duobao and his disciples and said, "You all go to Penglai Fairy Island and wait for your master."

After saying this, Taoist Shangqing didn't explain. A divine light flashed around his body, and he directly broke through the space and left, leaving Duobao and other disciples looking at each other in confusion. They didn't know who had given the jade talisman to their teacher, and he didn't even care about finding a Taoist temple.

Calculating the time, the Shangqing Taoist was probably almost outside Xuanyang Mountain. Li Xuanyang stood up and walked out of the palace. He came to the top of the sea eye and glanced towards the wild sea. A smile flashed in his eyes, "I wonder if Shen Ni dares to test the power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation!"

"However, Shen Ni was, after all, the overlord of the primitive world at the beginning of the universe, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. The Chaos Supreme Treasure, the World-Destroying Grinder, is very likely related to him."

"If it weren't for fellow Daoist's invitation, I'm afraid I would have already gone to the North Sea." Li Xuanyang had just retracted his gaze when a spatial fluctuation suddenly arose above the void, and a portal evolved out of thin air, from which a familiar voice came.

"Hahaha..." Li Xuanyang said with a chuckle as he looked into the spatial portal, "It seems my invitation is just in time. Fellow Daoist, you haven't found a suitable dojo yet."

"Fellow Daoist, you are right. It is indeed the right time." Taoist Shangqing chuckled and walked out of the space portal.

"I don't know where the dojo you mentioned is located!"

Speaking of this, Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but feel a little curious. The last time he went to Xuanyang Mountain, he said that there was no suitable spiritual island.

But now, a jade talisman suddenly came over, saying that there was a suitable Taoist temple.

This made the Taoist Shangqing somewhat confused.

However, the place that Li Xuanyang is interested in must not be an ordinary spiritual island, such as the East Kunlun Mountains back then. He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After hearing what the Shangqing Taoist said, Li Xuanyang shook his head slightly and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come inside and talk!"

"That's good." Taoist Shangqing nodded, and came to Xuanyang Mountain with Li Xuanyang. They walked into a palace. After the two sat down, they saw Li Xuanyang waving his hand to sacrifice five innate five-direction flags, which turned into five innate divine lights of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which intertwined and reversed the yin and yang and the five elements, and disturbed the destiny.

Seeing this, the Shangqing Taoist's eyes showed a hint of doubt, "Why do you have to do this, fellow Taoist?"

"It's just a dojo."

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know!" Li Xuanyang smiled and explained to the Shangqing Taoist, "The Daoist place I'm talking about is extraordinary. It's not some blessed cave or paradise, nor is it a sacred island or mountain. It's something unique."

As he spoke, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and took out the shell of the golden turtle. He placed it in front of the Shangqing Taoist and said, "What do you think of this, fellow Taoist?"

"A turtle shell!" Looking at the turtle shell in front of him, the Taoist Shangqing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "This is a turtle shell left behind by a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers!"

"No, it seems to be a ferocious beast!"

Taoist Shangqing faintly sensed the presence of a ferocious beast, even the remnants of the innate Yin-Yang True Fire and the energy of chaos. He couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang, "Did you kill a ferocious beast at the Quasi-Sage level, fellow Daoist?"

"Indeed," Li Xuanyang nodded in agreement, pointing at the golden turtle's shell and saying, "This object is tens of thousands of feet in size, and it possesses the mysterious power of gathering innate spiritual energy. If it were placed in the sea, it could be used as a training ground. What do you think?"

"Using the shell of a quasi-saint as a training ground?" Taoist Shangqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but examine it carefully. He saw that the shell was covered with dense patterns, which seemed to be innate runes. It was extremely extraordinary and had the wonderful function of gathering innate spiritual energy. He couldn't help but applaud and said, "This item is suitable. However, fellow Taoist used the Innate Five-Directions Flag to conceal the secret of heaven. I'm afraid this beast has some history."

"Haha." Li Xuanyang chuckled and said, "This ferocious beast calls itself the Golden Ao. When fighting with this poor Taoist, it once revealed its origins and said it was related to the Beast King Shen Ni."

"According to him, Shen Ni was a great master from the beginning of the world. He once commanded countless ferocious beasts and ruled the ancient world."

"Beast Emperor Shen Ni!" When Shangqing Taoist heard Li Xuanyang's story of Shen Ni, his eyes suddenly shone with brilliance and he praised him, "I never thought that such a powerful being would exist in the prehistoric world."

"No wonder fellow Daoist is so cautious."

"In that case, I'd like to confront him." Taoist Shangqing laughed heartily, full of confidence. He didn't take Beast King Shenni seriously at all. He waved his hand and collected the turtle shell. "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Li Xuanyang did not think there was anything wrong with this. Not only was Shangqing Taoist already a saint, he also controlled the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation. He could set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation that could not be broken by anyone but the Four Saints. Naturally, he would not take the Beast King Shenni seriously.

"Speaking of which," the Shangqing Taoist suddenly changed the subject and said to Li Xuanyang, "I also have something I want to give to you, fellow Taoist, but the time has not come yet, so I have never taken it out."

The next moment, Taoist Shangqing reached out and took out an ancient brush. The whole brush had a dark aura and faintly exuded the law of reincarnation.

"Judge's Pen!" Li Xuanyang blurted out in surprise.

He had been searching for this item for a long time, but had never found it. He even tried to deduce the secrets of heaven using the Book of the Underworld. Unexpectedly, it was taken away by the Taoist Shangqing.

"No wonder I only found the Book of the Underworld on the Treasure-Finding Cliff, but didn't find the whereabouts of the Judge's Pen. It turns out that it was taken away by fellow Taoist." A hint of realization appeared on Li Xuanyang's face.

"Originally, I planned to wait until Fellow Daoist Chunyang's spirit was reincarnated before giving him the Judge's Pen." Daoist Shangqing suddenly sighed and said, "But now that Fellow Daoist has gifted me with a Taoist temple, I have nothing to offer in return. I can only give him the Judge's Pen in advance. But when Fellow Daoist Chunyang's spirit is reincarnated, I hope he will help me with the Book of the Underworld and the Judge's Pen."

"As for Meng Po and Nu Wa!"

"I will handle it myself."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist Chunyang and I have been friends for many years. Even if you don't tell me, I will send your true spirit into reincarnation safely." After saying that, Li Xuanyang shot out a divine light in the direction of the Chaos Spirit Spring, and rolled up a seventh-grade purple lotus flower, which fell in front of Taoist Shangqing.

"This innate seventh-grade purple jade lotus was cultivated from the lotus seeds of my innate twelfth-grade reincarnation purple lotus. It contains the law of reincarnation. It can nourish the true spirit of fellow Taoist Chunyang."

"This lotus seems to be not yet mature!" said the Taoist Shangqing with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's indeed not yet mature." Li Xuanyang nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can use the innate spiritual water to cultivate it for some time after you return. Perhaps it will bloom into the ninth grade, transforming into an innate ninth grade purple jade lotus."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Taoist Shangqing carefully put away the innate seventh-grade purple jade lotus.

Just as the two were discussing how to cultivate with the innate spiritual water.

Suddenly, two golden divine lights suddenly rushed out from the void outside the temple and appeared in the void, and two supreme pressures came from the western part of the prehistoric world.

"Jie Yin, Zhunti!" Li Xuanyang's face suddenly changed and he looked towards the western part of the prehistoric world.

Taoist Shangqing's expression also changed slightly. He looked towards the western part of the prehistoric world, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

The next moment, bursts of Buddhist chanting suddenly came from the western direction of the prehistoric world. "I am a disciple of Master Hongjun of the Purple Cloud Palace. I have established the Western Religion within the Xuanmen. I use the twelve-grade innate golden lotus of merit to suppress destiny. I want to help all living beings escape the sea of ​​suffering and enter my paradise. You can obtain the true Tao and establish the Western Religion!"

As the voices of Jie Yin and Zhunti spread throughout the entire ancient world, above the void, the mysterious and yellow energy of merit and virtue began to emerge, purple air came from the east, and all kinds of strange visions appeared one after another.

However, it is far from the merit of Nuwa who created human beings and attained sainthood.

Seeing this, the Shangqing Taoist couldn't help but sneer and said, "No wonder they didn't come when we discussed the Hunyuan Dao Fruit last time in East Kunlun Mountain. It turns out they want to emulate us, the Three Pure Ones, and establish a religion to attain enlightenment." "But while establishing a religion is a great merit, it's wishful thinking for Jieyin and Zhunti to achieve enlightenment and become saints together."

The reason why the Three Pure Ones were able to attain enlightenment and become saints through the merits of establishing religions is because they all possessed the merits of creating the world, not because they merely attained enlightenment through the merits of establishing religions.

It can be said that the merit of establishing a religion is only an introduction to draw out the merit of creating the world within the Three Pure Ones, thereby refining the primordial purple energy and placing the primordial spirit on the way of heaven.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Li Xuanyang shook his head with a heavy face. Regardless of the character of the two, they are definitely people with great perseverance and wisdom. They may even leave the Xuanmen in the future and establish a Buddhist lineage to compete with the Xuanmen.

On the Babao Lingshan Mountain, Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other, both showing helplessness, with a hint of bitterness in their mouths.

"Junior brother, after all, you and I are not as blessed as the Three Pure Ones. It seems we can only make great vows and use them to gain merit and enlightenment."

"Senior Brother!" The Taoist Zhunti sighed bitterly and nodded to Jie Yin.

For a moment, bursts of Buddhist chanting rang out again above the Eight Treasures Mountain, and once again spread throughout the entire prehistoric world.

"If I attain the supreme enlightenment and become fully enlightened, the Buddha land I reside in will be adorned with immeasurable and inconceivable virtues. There will be no hells, hungry ghosts, beasts, insects, or creeping creatures. All living beings, including those in the Yama realm and the three evil paths, will be reborn in my land and receive my teachings. They will all attain the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi and will no longer fall into the evil paths."

"If I attain Buddhahood, sentient beings in the ten directions will hear my name and sincerely believe in it. They will dedicate all their merits to rebirth in my country. If even ten recitations do not lead to rebirth in my country, I will not attain enlightenment. The only exceptions are those who commit the five heinous crimes and slander the Dharma."

"If I attain Buddhahood, I wish that sentient beings in the ten directions, upon hearing my name, will be mindful of my country, cultivate virtues, and sincerely dedicate their lives to being reborn in my country. If they are not able to achieve this, I will not attain enlightenment."

………………

As the great aspirations were announced one after another, the Shangqing Taoist's face darkened and he frowned as he said, "Jie Yin and Zhunti are so courageous that they have made so many great aspirations in succession just to achieve enlightenment!"

"I want to see, even if the two of them can achieve enlightenment and become saints, how will they repay what they did today in the future?"

Such a great ambition cannot be made casually, and it must be repaid in the future.

"I actually made a great wish to achieve Hunyuan Dao Fruit. This is ultimately a congenital deficiency. I'm afraid I will have to find ways to repay it in the future." Li Xuanyang frowned slightly, thinking of the various actions of Buddhism in later generations, even the Buddhism coming to the East and flourishing in the prehistoric world. I'm afraid it is closely related to the great wish I made today.

Although this action can gain merit to prove one's sainthood, the constraints of the Heavenly Dao on Jie Yin and Zhunti are probably higher than those on the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

At this time, as one great wish after another was made, countless meritorious and mysterious auras were born again above the void and fell towards the direction of Babao Lingshan.

As a result, the entire western part of the prehistoric world was filled with innate purple air, red light filled the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, auspicious light descended from the sky, and countless strange visions appeared.

Changes gradually appeared around Jie Yin and Zhunti.

Among them, the Taoist Master Jie Yin was walking barefoot on the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, with long pale golden eyebrows hanging down to his cheekbones. The reflection of the three thousand worlds of Posa appeared in the depths of his eyes, and eighty-four thousand golden wheels of merit appeared behind him.

The Taoist Cundi showed a golden body of Bodhi, with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms. In each hand he held a Dharma instrument, such as relics, silk ribbons, necklaces, umbrellas, flower strings, banners, golden bows, fish intestines, etc., which were exactly eighteen kinds of Dharma instruments.

The two men each had a smile on their face, chanting scriptures with their tongues eloquent. Everyone who heard them was yearning for the Western Paradise, and they all headed towards the western part of the ancient world, hundreds of millions of miles away.

What's more, some of them have compassionate expressions on their faces, put their hands together, and keep chanting the names of Jie Yin and Zhunti.

When they saw Jie Yin and Zhunti becoming saints through the enlightenment, they used their magical powers to transform into bursts of Sanskrit sounds to save all living beings in the world.

"Jie Yin and Zhunti have just achieved enlightenment and become saints, yet they acted so shamelessly. They are simply unworthy of being saints." The Taoist priest Shangqing could not help but frown, looking dissatisfied.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a deep grudge against that Taoist Zhunti. You should be more careful from now on."

The Shangqing Taoist suddenly said to Li Xuanyang, "The Jieyin Taoist is fine. Although he is a saint from the West, he is a man of hard practice. I don't think he will be any good."

"But it's hard to say about Taoist Zhunti. Before he achieved enlightenment, he often traveled to various parts of the prehistoric world to snatch opportunities. Who knows, he might cause trouble for fellow Taoists in the future."

Hearing the reminder from the Shangqing Taoist, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of the various behaviors of the Zhunti Taoist in the past. He nodded and said, "Daoyou, you are absolutely right. I really need to be wary of Zhunti."

No matter what Jie Yin and Zhunti's plans were, at least he couldn't let Zhunti set his sights on himself and the disciples of Xuanyang Mountain, or even the East China Sea.

"However, fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry too much. If he dares to cause trouble out of nothing, I will naturally not sit idly by."

The Shangqing Taoist snorted coldly, "Although I don't have an innate treasure to suppress my luck, I am also born with a deficiency. But with the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation alone, let alone the Taoist Zhunti, even if the two saints from the West came together, they would lose face."

With the help of the Taoist Shangqing, who was stationed overseas, Li Xuanyang did have fewer concerns.

As for Jiejiao, it lacks something to suppress its luck!

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of Donghuang Taiyi's innate treasure, the Chaos Bell. After the Lich Catastrophe, if Taiyi died, the Chaos Bell would become ownerless.

At that time, a fight will inevitably break out between the Taoist Shangqing and the saints Jie Yin, Zhun Yu, and Nuwa.

Not only does the Jie Sect lack an innate treasure to suppress its luck, the Western Sect also only has one innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit. The Chaos Bell is the treasure of the demon clan, so Nuwa will naturally not remain indifferent. I just don't know whether Taiqing and Yuqing will help the Shangqing Taoist.

At this time, the Shangqing Taoist reminded Li Xuanyang, "Although your Chaos Indestructible Body is a method of proving the Dao through force and its power is extremely domineering, the sage's soul is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and his magic power is endless. Even with your Taoist practice and supernatural powers, it is difficult to harm it."

"Unless one sets up the innate five elements and five directions formation to counter it with the power of the formation."

The innate five elements and five directions formation, as the five elements circulate, the innate five elements laws are endless, even saints cannot break it easily, it is the strongest defensive formation in the prehistoric world.

Li Xuanyang was well aware of the power of saints. They existed in harmony with the Tao and could survive countless calamities without being destroyed. Therefore, to face a saint, ordinary Taoist skills and supernatural powers could not match him.

But then again, the Three Pure Ones, Jie Yin, Zhunti, and Nuwa all achieved sainthood through the use of merit, not by actually beheading the three corpses.

All of his Hunyuan Dao fruits are placed on the Heavenly Dao, so he can only be regarded as a Heavenly Dao saint, which is far inferior to the real saint who kills the three corpses and proves the Dao.

According to Li Xuanyang's speculation, if one wants to fight with a saint, in addition to the innate five elements and five directions formation, one must first have equally endless magic power, and also possess magical powers or treasures that can hurt the saint, or even a Taoism that can rival that of the saint. At the very least, one must reach the realm of the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint.

Li Xuanyang had no idea which magical power or treasure could harm the saint, unless it was Zhulong's God-killing Spear and World-destroying Grinder.

The former is an innate killing treasure, and the latter is a chaos treasure.

In addition, there is also the Creation Divine Artifact that Li Xuanyang has never been able to refine, which can also be tried.

As for how to break through to the realm of the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage, Li Xuanyang had no idea at all, unless he waited until the Lich Catastrophe was over, then went to the Ancestral Witch Hall to look for the relics left by the great god Pangu, and tried to use them to break through the realm of the Chaos Immortal Body.

Only with the endless magic power, Li Xuanyang had a vague clue. Although he could not place his soul on the way of heaven, there was a space inside the Chaos Pearl, which contained boundless chaotic energy. If he could evolve it into a chaotic world, it could be combined with his physical body and soul.

By then, even if you can't possess infinite magical powers like a saint, you will be almost there.

However, the Chaos Pearl is a Chaos treasure, so it is not easy to reveal it.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang's gaze fell on the Shangqing Taoist and asked, "Daoist friend, do you have twenty-four Dinghai Pearls?"

"Why are you asking about this, fellow Daoist?" The Shangqing Taoist was slightly taken aback, then he said, "This is a set of top-grade innate spiritual treasures I obtained on the Treasure Dividing Cliff. I have long since given them to my disciples for protection."

"I want to exchange this item with my fellow Taoist." Li Xuanyang didn't say much, and directly took out several top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Marriage Book, the Precious Lotus Lantern, the Panwang Pearl, the Panwang Yuan Gu Sword and the Tiangu Yuan Xie Banner.

Looking at the five top-grade innate spiritual treasures before him, Shangqing Daoist couldn't help but sigh, "Daoyou are so wealthy!"

"Even I can't help but feel envious."

Li Xuanyang chuckled and said to the Shangqing Taoist, "What do you think?"

Hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Shangqing Taoist couldn't help but smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't regret it."

After saying this, the Taoist Shangqing began to examine it. His gaze fell on the Marriage Book, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Marriage Book, this thing has actually been obtained by a Taoist friend!"

"Although this item has no defensive or offensive capabilities, it is extremely mysterious and can occupy a portion of merit and luck. It is of great benefit even to quasi-saints with great supernatural powers."

"And this Treasure Lotus Lantern, the power contained in it is probably enough to rival Daoist Fellow's Yin-Yang Lantern."

"The mysteries of these two innate spiritual treasures alone are already greater than those of the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls."

"Fellow Daoist, have you made your choice?" Li Xuanyang asked with a smile when he saw the Taoist Shangqing's gaze fall on the Marriage Book and the Precious Lotus Lantern.

The most mysterious aspect of the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls is not their defensive and offensive capabilities, but their integration with the heaven and earth to form the twenty-four heavens.

Of course, with Li Xuanyang's Taoist and supernatural powers, he naturally does not need the Twenty-Four Heavens. He just wants to use it to cover up the Chaos Pearl.
