Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 41: Zixiao Palace (Please collect and read)
For a moment, on the prehistoric land, countless powerful people and innate gods and demons rode auspicious clouds and headed towards the thirty-three outer heavens.

Including the five great saints of the demon clan, namely Di Jun, Tai Yi, Nuwa, Fuxi and Kunpeng, as well as great masters of the Qigong lineage, such as Li Xuanyang, Sanqing, Chunyang Taoist, Queen Mother of the West, and even some great masters who have lived in seclusion in the world, all left the Taoist temple on auspicious clouds.

The Thirty-Three Outer Heavens were formed when the ancient world was first created, and the pure air floated up and eventually evolved.

The nine-day gale is raging everywhere, making the sky dark and the earth gloomy. If you are not careful, you may end up dead.

Further up is the barrier between the primitive world and the chaotic world. Only by passing through the barrier can one enter the chaos.

The chaotic world is pitch black all year round. There is no up or down, left or right, east or west, and only countless violent chaotic energies.

It can dissolve the Dao fruits of practitioners at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and erode the protective divine light of the body. Only those with powerful Daoist skills or those who are protected by innate spiritual treasures can set foot in it, otherwise even practitioners at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm will be in danger of falling.

What's more, the chaotic world is boundless. Once you lose your way in it, let alone finding the Zixiao Palace to listen to the saints' teachings, it is hard to say whether you can even return to the prehistoric world.

This can also be considered a test for those who want to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings.

When Li Xuanyang passed through the thirty-three outer heavens and came to the front of the barrier, he saw that everyone had stopped and seemed hesitant about the chaotic world before them.

However, just as the cultivators were hesitating, a divine light flashed around Li Xuanyang, and he ignored everything and went straight through the barrier into the chaotic world.

When many cultivators saw someone entering the chaotic world, they naturally could not hold back and used their magical powers or spiritual treasures to protect themselves and flew towards the chaotic world.

However, the danger of chaos is far beyond everyone's imagination. From time to time, cultivators would lose their lives when they were swept by the chaotic energy. Their physical bodies would disappear, their true spirits would no longer exist, and they would end up with their souls scattered.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the remaining people all changed drastically.

It was impossible to tell the direction in the chaotic world. Li Xuanyang looked around and saw that time and space seemed to have disappeared here. It was pitch black everywhere and the chaotic energy was rolling everywhere.

Beyond that, there's nothing.

These chaotic energies are different from the chaotic energies in the Chaos Spirit Spring. They are real chaotic energies that have not been refined in any way. Only the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian can use them for cultivation.

Li Xuanyang did not dare to be careless. He activated the Chaos Immortal Body in his body. Blood and energy surged around him, and light emerged. He was unaffected by all kinds of laws and moved forward all the way to the depths of chaos without any obstruction.

However, Li Xuanyang had no idea where the Zixiao Palace was located, and could only move forward relying on a little inspiration from somewhere.

After an unknown amount of time, a golden bridge suddenly emerged from the depths of the chaos. As the chaotic energy approached the golden bridge, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, repelling the chaotic energy.

This bridge is the golden bridge that leads people to Zixiao Palace. Li Xuanyang's body was flashing with light. He stepped onto the golden bridge and turned into golden light and flew away.

After a long while, the scene in front of him changed. The golden bridge and countless chaotic air disappeared together, and an ancient palace suddenly appeared in front of him.

This palace looks simple and natural. It is about several thousand feet high and ten thousand feet wide. Purple light overflows from all around the palace, separating it from the chaotic energy around it. It stands firmly in the chaos and forms a space of its own within tens of thousands of miles around it.

This Zixiao Palace was not formed naturally, but a small world opened up by Hongjun Daozu with his supreme Taoist supernatural powers after he attained enlightenment and became a saint.

Compared with Li Xuanyang's method of proving the truth through force, the small world he wants to open up in the future is essentially no different.

However, the saints have placed their primordial spirits on the heavenly way of the ancient world, and their own magic power is almost endless. Those who practice the method of proving the way with force need to use their own magic power to open up a small world, and the magic power in their bodies is not endless.

Even a god as powerful as Pangu could not hold on at the last moment of opening up the primitive world and died here. Eventually, his body evolved into all things in the universe.

Outside the Zixiao Palace, Li Xuanyang carefully felt it for a while before coming to the front of the palace. He saw two boys, a boy and a girl, standing on both sides of the palace entrance. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with pretty faces and a graceful and elegant demeanor.

The aura of the two people is exactly one yang and one yin, the man is yang and the woman is yin, which is very similar to the innate pure yang aura and the innate pure yin aura of the Pure Yang Taoist and the Queen Mother of the West.

Seeing Li Xuanyang approaching, the two boys stepped forward and bowed to greet him, "Haotian and Yaochi greet the real master. Please come in!"

"May I ask the two boys, are there any fellow Taoists coming to the palace now?" A strange light flashed in Li Xuanyang's eyes. Don't look at Haotian and Yaochi in front of him, they are just gatekeepers outside the Zixiao Palace.

In fact, he and Hongjun Daozu were regarded as master and disciple, and his status and position were extraordinary. In later generations, he was in charge of the operation of the Heavenly Court and was the supreme being of the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

"Reporting to the Immortal, there are now more than a dozen Immortals coming to the palace." Haotian replied respectfully.

Li Xuanyang did not show any disappointment about this. He just stepped into the Zixiao Palace and saw that the space inside was not as spacious as it looked from the outside. It was already good enough to seat only a few hundred cultivators. He wondered where the rest of the cultivators would sit.

In my previous life, I heard that there were three thousand listeners in the Zixiao Palace, which could also be called the three thousand innate gods and demons.

At this time, the palace was filled with a cloud bed and six cushions below, while the rest of the room was empty. These six cushions represented the six holy positions. Those who held the holy positions could obtain the primordial purple energy and have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become a saint.

Sanqing, Hongyun, and the others heard the commotion outside and looked up. It was Li Xuanyang who walked in. Their faces lit up with joy. They all stood up, bowed to Li Xuanyang, and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist Xuanyang is even more impressive than before."

"Originally, the three of us were planning to go to Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea to visit fellow Taoists and express our gratitude. We didn't expect that we would meet again in Zixiao Palace." Taoist Taiqing stroked his beard and said with surprise.

Upon hearing that the Three Pure Ones were planning to visit him at Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but smile and bow in return, saying, "Xuanyang greets my fellow Daoists. I'm truly very welcome to visit you at Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea."

"By the way, have you three Taoist friends met Taoist Queen Mother Xi?"

Li Xuanyang glanced around. Apart from the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Hongyun, there were only a dozen cultivators in the palace. He did not see the Queen Mother of the West, the Pure Yang Taoist, Zhulong, and Zhen Yuanzi.

"Haha, I was just talking about this with fellow Taoist Hongyun. I wanted to reserve a cushion for you and fellow Taoists like Queen Mother of the West so that you can have a rest for a while." As Taoist Shangqing spoke, his eyes seemed to glance at the Taoist on the cushion not far away.

This Taoist had a gloomy expression and a demonic aura about him. He was obviously a powerful demon master named Kunpeng, a great saint among the demons of the North Sea.

Kunpeng's face turned cold when he heard the words of the Taoist Shangqing, and he became vaguely worried.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Kunpeng had heard about the affairs of Sanqing, Li Xuanyang, Hongyun and other great masters of the Qigong lineage and the four great saints of the demon clan, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi and Nuwa. He knew clearly that these people had a lot of karma with the demon clan and must have resentment towards the demon clan.

Hearing the words of the Shangqing Taoist at this time, Kunpeng was extremely angry. He secretly hated the Shangqing Taoist for being too bullying. He also blamed the demon saints such as Di Jun and Taiyi for making him have cause and effect with the Sanqing and other great supernatural beings for no reason.

Hong Yun couldn't help but say, "Daoyou, you've been so tired from the journey, why don't you sit down first and talk."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist." Li Xuanyang subconsciously wanted to sit behind Hongyun, but between Hongyun and the Shangqing Taoist were Nuwa and Kunpeng, and behind Nuwa was Fuxi.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the back of Taoist Shangqing and sat on the ground.

"Before the three of us left East Kunlun Mountain, we asked a boy to inform fellow Taoist Queen Mother of the West. I think she lost her way in the chaos and it will take some time for her to arrive." Taoist Yuqing turned around and explained briefly to Li Xuanyang.

On that day, the Three Pure Ones did not wait for the Queen Mother of the West to accompany them, but went directly to the Thirty-three Outer Heavens.

However, considering the Queen Mother of the West's magical powers, even if she loses her way in the chaos for a while, she will not encounter any danger. At most, she will arrive a little late.

After a while, many cultivators came to Zixiao Palace. Seeing Li Xuanyang having a pleasant conversation with Sanqing and Hongyun, they couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Then they each found a place, sat down one by one, and waited.

At this time, two more people walked in from outside the palace. One of them was wearing a golden robe embroidered with a three-legged golden crow, and the other was also wearing a golden robe embroidered with a three-legged golden crow.

The two of them exude a majestic aura, extremely masculine and powerful, just like the sun and stars.

When Di Jun and Tai Yi saw that there were people with great supernatural powers sitting on the six cushions in the palace, a hint of displeasure flashed across their faces.

"Di Jun, Tai Yi, nice to meet you fellow Taoists!" Di Jun and Tai Yi stepped forward and bowed to Li Xuanyang, Sanqing, Nuwa, Hongyun and other powerful people.

However, only Fuxi and Nuwa nodded slightly, while the rest of the people were in a trance and did not pay any attention, even Kunpeng, who was also a great sage of the demon clan.

Seeing this, Di Jun and Tai Yi were stunned for a moment, then they couldn't help but feel a little angry. They glared at Li Xuanyang and the Three Pure Ones, then found a corner to sit down.

This place is the sage's dojo of Zixiao Palace. Even though Di Jun and Tai Yi were unhappy, they didn't dare to do anything.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that even Di Jun and Tai Yi are here." Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but snort coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Junior brother, no need to say more." Taoist Taiqing shook his head slightly.

"My fellow Taoists, have you discovered the mystery of the palace?" Li Xuanyang vaguely discovered that there was another mystery in the Zixiao Palace.

Originally, the space in the palace could only accommodate hundreds of monks, but now there are more and more monks, but it does not seem crowded at all, as if there is no end.

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but sigh that the saint's methods were truly incredible, and his use of the magical power of the Great Dao of Space was beyond his reach.

Over the years, Li Xuanyang has been comprehending the willow branches and understanding the laws of space, and he can see some of the mysteries.

Daozu Hongjun used the technique of space evolution to transform the Zixiao Palace into seemingly independent spaces, just like the folding of space. No matter how many cultivators came, it would not seem crowded.
