The God of Heavens

Chapter 163 The Legacy of the Eight Views Palace

On this day, the ancient star Ziwei trembled, and all the powerful members of the Golden Crow lineage who went to Luzhou were captured, with none escaping.

The ten princes of the Golden Crow clan perished in the sky, the Golden Crow King was suppressed, and the entire clan's elite forces were wiped out, a calamity that could be described as a dynastic extinction. Even more horrifying is that the mysterious powerful figure actually boasted that he would stew the Golden Crow King into soup, regarding this ancient clan as his meal.

This is absolutely outrageous!

The news swept across the land like a hurricane, leaving countless cultivators dumbfounded, unable to believe that anyone in the world would dare to trample on the dignity of the Golden Crow Clan in this way.

"Have you heard? That wicked man even suppressed the Golden Crow King, and he even said he wanted to make soup with him!"

"Just who is that person? In a fit of rage, he even subdued the Golden Crow Prince and the king of that clan. Such cultivation is terrifying!"

"When has the Golden Crow Clan ever suffered such a humiliation? Our Ancestral Saint will surely emerge to wipe out this enemy in blood!"

All the major sects and ancient families were shaken and warned their disciples not to go out recently, lest they be caught up in this earth-shattering storm.

The battle of Luzhou shocked the world. With the return of the Taiqing Sacred Realm cultivators, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Golden Crow Clan's territory.

The Golden Crow Ancestor is enraged!
"Rumble--"

Deep within the ancestral land of the Golden Crow, a vast and holy might soared into the sky, causing the entire heavens to tremble. An ancient being awakened, his body bathed in the true fire of the sun, his eyes like two great suns, illuminating countless mountains and rivers.

"Those who insult my Golden Crow clan will have their entire family executed!"

The voice of the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire Purple Star Ancient Star. Countless cultivators were shaken to their core, as if they were witnessing an unparalleled deity in a fit of rage.

"The Ancestral Saint has been born! That villain is doomed!"

"For so many years, the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint has never shown himself, yet today he has been forced to emerge from seclusion!"

"Get far away! When these beings clash, they can destroy the heavens and the earth!"

A storm is brewing on the ancient star of Ziwei. A great battle is about to break out between a mysterious powerhouse and the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see who will emerge victorious.

…………

Inside the Eight Views Palace, a purple mist hangs like a sea, and an ancient Taoist temple stands tall amidst the clouds. This purple palace is not grand or magnificent, yet it possesses an aura that suppresses the universe, like an immortal temple of the gods, inspiring deep reverence.

Lin Yu stepped into the palace, where cloud patterns flowed beneath his feet. The five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching were engraved on the palace wall, each ancient character exuding the aura of the Great Tao.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of Heaven and Earth. Named, it is the mother of all things..."

The seal script is brilliant, with strokes that seem to contain the rise and fall of galaxies, exuding a majestic aura and silently revealing the birth and return of all things in the universe.

Legend has it that there are two versions of the Tao Te Ching. One is the one we see today, which is passed down to the world for ordinary people to read. The other is not revealed to the world, and was only seen by Yin Xi when Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west.

"The true legacy still lies within the palace."

Lin Yu's gaze pierced through the purple mist, revealing a mysterious light flickering deep within the palace. The other part of the Tao Te Ching discusses the methods of cultivation, containing the gates to Qi refining and breathing exercises, and even the supreme secret technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."

Meanwhile, the outside world had already undergone a complete transformation!
The Golden Crow Ancestral Saint walked through the air, each step distorting the void. Wherever he passed, the true fire of the sun scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, turning the entire sky into a crimson gold.

"You brat, come out and face your death!"

A furious roar resounded through the heavens, causing mountains to crumble and rivers to flow backward within a radius of ten thousand miles. Countless cultivators trembled in fear; was this the might of a sage?

However, the Eight Views Palace remained silent and offered no response.

"You think you can survive by hiding in the Eight Trigrams Palace?" Golden Crow Ancestral Saint sneered. "Even if I were resurrected today, I couldn't protect you!"

Having said that, he raised his hand and unleashed a dazzling golden light, which transformed into a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky, fiercely grabbing at the restrictions of the Eight Views Palace.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled violently, and the void shattered. However, to everyone's astonishment, the seemingly fragile barrier remained completely unmoved, instead reflecting the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint's attack back!

"What?" The Golden Crow Ancestral Saint's expression changed slightly.

The powerful figures watching from afar gasped in astonishment:

"The restrictions of the Eight Trigrams Palace are so terrifying? Even a sage cannot shake them?"

"It is said that this was personally arranged by Lao Tzu, containing supreme Daoist principles, and it truly lives up to its reputation!"

"This is going to be interesting. The Golden Crow Ancestral Saint is probably going to be furious!"

As expected, the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint was furious, and his entire body surged with true solar fire: "This saint will see how long this broken restriction can protect you!"

Having said that, he sat cross-legged in the void, beginning to prepare an unparalleled killing move. The temperature of the entire world was rising rapidly, as if it were about to return to the primordial inferno.

Ignoring the storm raging outside, Lin Yu focused intently on breaking the restrictions of the Eight Trigrams Palace. His Dominator's Eye between his brows shone brightly, and ancient runes crumbled before him. "Master, that old Golden Crow seems very angry," Jinling whispered, blinking her large eyes.

Lin Yu smiled calmly: "It's alright, let him live a little longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the restrictions on the Eight Views Palace burst open with a roar. As purple mist rose, it was like a mesmerizing glow, sacred and solemn, inspiring awe and reverence.

As the group entered the Eight Views Palace, they were immediately enveloped in a misty purple aura, feeling as if bathed in celestial light. Every pore on their bodies opened, and they felt completely relaxed. This magnificent palace contained the laws of the Great Dao; cultivating here for one day was equivalent to cultivating for a hundred days outside.

“It would be difficult not to become powerful by cultivating in such a blessed land.” Jin Yao took a deep breath, and purple light emanated from every pore of his body.

The interior of the Purple Palace was vast and silent, with only an ancient stone platform standing in the center. Though spotless, it exuded an aura of ancient vicissitudes, untouched by anyone for millennia.

Lin Yu's gaze swept across the several treasures displayed on the stone platform: a furnace, a sword, a jar, a bracelet, and a purple-gold gourd.

The Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace stood silently, its body adorned with flowing Eight Trigrams patterns, containing illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars. This was actually a Saint-grade alchemy furnace, enough to make the major holy lands fight tooth and nail for it if it were in the outside world.

"Using a sacred weapon as a furnace, truly worthy of Lao Tzu." Lin Yu gently stroked the furnace, sensing the vast and profound essence of alchemy contained within.

In a world where most people rely on raw medicinal herbs, it's true that only Lao Tzu could master the art of alchemy.

Beside him stood the Seven Star Sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light. The sword's surface resembled a galaxy, with seven large stars arranged according to the Big Dipper's orientation, each possessing a devastating, divine power. Lin Yu lightly flicked the sword's blade, and instantly, the extraordinary phenomenon of the seven stars aligning bloomed within the hall.

"A king's weapon, barely enough. After all, it's for choosing a successor, so we can't give him too much and make him dependent. He still has to fight for it himself."

A seemingly simple pottery jar, its mouth sealed with flashing runes, from which the faint sound of a bull mooing could be heard, shaking the very air.

"A Great Completion King-level incarnation of the Bull Demon King!" Lin Yu's eyes gleamed. If this mount were released, it would be enough to sweep across an entire region, making it absolutely qualified as an early-stage protector.

The Vajra Bracelet, snow-white and crystal clear, shimmering with silver light, is like a divine moon, its divine radiance dazzling. It is a replica of the Nine Heavens Jadeite. It is a supreme weapon among kings, truly the king of kings, and will surely evolve into an unparalleled sacred object in the future!

With a slight push from Lin Yu, the millstone-sized Vajra Bracelet transformed into a black hole within its ring, swallowing everything and absorbing all things—a truly terrifying sight.

But when his gaze fell upon the purple-gold gourd, his pupils suddenly contracted. The gourd was no bigger than the palm of his hand, yet it emanated a pressure so intense it would suffocate even a saint. Lin Yu tentatively infused a wisp of divine power into it—

"boom!"

The entire Eight Trigrams Palace trembled violently, and quasi-emperor-level chaotic energy spewed from the gourd's mouth, instantly tearing a ten-thousand-foot-wide rift in the void. The four little ones were forced to kneel on the ground by this aura, unable to even lift their heads.

"A quasi-Emperor artifact!" Lin Yu hurriedly withdrew his divine power. If this gourd were to fully revive, it could probably easily devour an ancient star.

He suddenly recalled the scene in the original novel where Yin Tiande fought Ye Fan with this gourd, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Now it's mine."

Lin Yu put away the treasures and his gaze swept across the entire Purple Palace. The roars and bombardments of the Golden Crow Ancestral Saint outside were endless, but how could a mere Saint shake this quasi-Emperor level array set up by Lao Tzu himself?

"Old Golden Crow jumping around outside has added some excitement for us."

Lin Yu chuckled, his fingertips tracing the stone surface. Suddenly, with a soft "click," the stone platform slowly opened like a bookshelf.

A heavy stone scripture has been revealed, with the three ancient seal characters "Tao Te Ching" on its surface swirling with purple energy, reflecting a breathtaking scene.

A vast expanse of purple aura stretched for thirty thousand miles, as Lao Tzu rode an ox through Hangu Pass. Golden lotuses bloomed in the void trodden by the blue ox, and ultimately, all the Daoist principles condensed into this stone scripture.

"It's the main text of the Tao Te Ching!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up. The four little ones all crowded around, their faces flushed with excitement. This scripture, containing Lao Tzu's life's wisdom, was truly a priceless treasure.

The stone scripture felt heavy in my hand, as if it bore the weight of the entire galaxy. Turning to the first page, the primordial purple aura burst forth, manifesting in the air the supreme truth of "The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two."

As the pages turn, various astonishing secret techniques emerge one after another.

The Purple Qi from the East Divine Technique transformed into a three-thousand-foot-long purple rainbow piercing the sun; the Supreme Purity Qi Primordial Slash cleaved through the chaotic void; and the Heavenly Venerable Seal suppressed the Nine Heavens. Most astonishing was the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" chapter, where three pure qi clones, identical to the original body, simultaneously practiced different secret techniques, leaving the audience dazzled and mesmerized.

"The Number Secret of the Nine Secrets!"

This was created by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, and it is the technique of transforming one breath into three pure ones, which Lin Yu has now obtained.

"Not only does it contain the complete cultivation method, but also quasi-emperor array patterns and the true explanation of weapon refining." Lin Yu quickly flipped through the pages and suddenly discovered a second book in the bookcase's hidden compartment. The four characters "Taiqing Danjue" on the sheepskin cover flowed with Daoist charm, and when opened, it turned out to be Laozi's own alchemy bible.

"The Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill can heal flesh and bones, and the Hunyuan Pill can aid in enlightenment." Lin Yu slowly scrolled through page after page of astonishing pill formulas. When he turned to the last few pages, his breath caught in his throat; the formula for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was indeed listed!
"A Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that extends the Emperor's life by two thousand years?" Jin Hao's eyes widened. "This...this must use an immortal elixir as the main ingredient!"

Lin Yu stared intently at the recipe for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, his gaze slowly sweeping over the astonishing ingredients. He muttered to himself, "Humanoid Immortal Elixir, Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir..." These were the main ingredients, while "Primordial Life Stone, Blood of the Azure Sky, Earth Life Fruit..." and so on were auxiliary ingredients.

At a glance, it is filled with rare treasures that are rarely seen throughout history. Any one of them could be used to refine divine pills and immortal formulas.

To refine this Nine-Turn Golden Pill, it must be tempered with immortal fire, and the difficulty of this process is beyond imagination. Even a Great Emperor would not be able to gather all the materials without sufficient luck.

No wonder that back then, only the Emperor, with the Heavenly Court as his foundation, searched the entire universe and combined the power of many supreme beings to finally forge a single furnace.
