Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 231 The Grand Event Approaching
After Niu Feng explained to his leader that the matter had been resolved, Niu Yi slapped the Chaos Green Gourd at his waist and instantly entered the gourd.

At this moment, within the Chaos Green Gourd, a vibrant scene of green mountains and clear waters unfolded, with a massive island, spanning three thousand miles in circumference, quietly floating amidst the endless chaotic energy.

Since Niu Yi created this place based on the Five Elements, this island has been expanding and shows no sign of stopping; it continues to extend.

This island was named Hunyuan Island by Niu Yi. At the very center of this island, the highest peak, overlooking the entire island, stands there. The mountain is complete with pavilions and towers, and at a glance, it is clear that it is the abode of immortals.

This mountain was named Hunyuan Mountain by Niu Yi.

"Given the current size of Hunyuan Island, we can send some living beings into it. Otherwise, this island will always lack vitality."

Niu Yi took a step forward and appeared in the main hall on Hunyuan Mountain. He stood outside the railing, looking at the world he had created with his own hands.

The energy of this island is closely related to him, and Niu Yi receives some assistance when he cultivates here. Therefore, he has spent most of his time cultivating here over the years, especially when he is comprehending the Great Dao of Hunyuan.

Niu Yi looked at the sky. Although there was a patch of pure energy above and a patch of turbid energy below the Hunyuan Island, which separated the island from the chaotic energy, the island was even constantly absorbing the chaotic energy to nourish itself.

However, this world was ultimately just a huge cave he had created. There was no night or day here, nor any sun, moon, or stars. When Niu Yi looked around, he could only see the chaotic energy of the world, which seemed to be eternally primordial.

However, this world will not remain like this forever. As Niu Yi continues to comprehend the Great Dao and integrate into this world, it will become more and more perfect, and eventually evolve into a world where the Great Dao is perfected.

How far this world can go depends on how far it can go.
Niu Yi stood behind the railing, gazing at the island for a long while. With a wave of his hand, the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd quickly appeared in his grasp.

When the Supreme Dao Ancestor refined this treasure for him, it must have been cleansed with the sun and moon. Therefore, the Daoist essence of the sun and moon is manifested on it, which also allowed Niu Yi to enter the door of these two paths.

Perhaps because Niu Yi had fully comprehended the complete Great Dao of Hunyuan, his speed in comprehending other Great Daos was now far greater than before.

In the hundred years since he comprehended the Primordial Dao, he has made rapid progress in the many Daos he has cultivated, and has successively and completely comprehended the Dao of Slaughter and the Dao of Yellow Springs, which he has cultivated the longest.

Even though he has only just begun studying the two great paths of Yin and Yang, he has already made considerable progress.

Once he fully comprehends these two great principles, he will be able to create the rotation of the sun and moon in this world, and then this world will have the sun and moon, and day and night.

After that, once he comprehends the complete Great Dao of the Stars, he will be able to draw upon the power of many stars in the Three Realms and move it into this world. At that time, this world will take a giant leap towards becoming a complete world.

Meanwhile, as Niu Yi mastered both the Dao of Slaughter and the Dao of the Underworld, the power of the Dragon-Tiger Fan and the God-Locking Chain in his hands surged once again.

The magical artifact that carries the complete Dao is completely different from the one before.

Although Niu Yi's comprehension of the Primordial Dao slowed down again, and the Primordial Dao Fruit seemed a long way off, his skills and abilities continued to improve.

Inside the palace on Mount Hunyuan, Niu Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a whisk in his hand, with the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd lying across his legs. Auras of the sun and moon were appearing around him, slowly rotating. Niu Yi quickly entered a state of enlightenment.

Time stands still in the mountains. Fifty-five years later, on Daojun Mountain, in the incense space of the Divine Physician Daojun Palace.

The Divine Physician Daoist, who was sitting cross-legged on the third floor of the pavilion, slowly opened his eyes. Behind him, the three-zhang-tall golden body of merit, radiating brilliant golden light, also slowly opened its eyes.

Although this golden body is only three zhang tall at this moment, when fully unleashed, it is as tall as three thousand zhang, and every move it makes is extremely powerful. This golden body of merit has a natural restraint on many evil and unorthodox practices. With this golden body protecting him, no filth in the world can enter his body.

Even the turbid energy released from his turbid energy gourd would be rejected by this golden body of merit.

Of course, to create such a massive golden body of merit, Daojun had poured all the merit he had accumulated over the years into it. Even the merit wheel he had condensed back then was used for the golden body of merit.

Daojun slowly rose, while the golden body of merit behind him gradually faded, seemingly disappearing, but in fact returning to Daojun's body and settling in Daojun's Niwan Palace.

Regardless, the golden body of merit he had spent so much time cultivating was ultimately something that satisfied him.

With this golden body of merit, the divine incarnation has a trump card, which can be considered to have narrowed the gap with the main body, which has many magical treasures.

"Fang Cheng".

As Daojun slowly spoke, Fang Cheng's figure quickly appeared in front of Niu Yi in a golden light.

"Daojun, you wanted to see me."

Daojun nodded slightly and said:

"Fang Cheng, I am about to head to the Heavenly Court. I will be staying there for ten days until I attend the Peach Banquet."

"Ten days in heaven are equivalent to ten years on earth. During my absence, the affairs of Daojun Palace will be entirely entrusted to you and Dayou. If there is anything important, you can send a message to Daojun Palace in the Heavenly Court through the Immortal Register."

Upon hearing about the Peach Banquet, Fang Cheng's spirits lifted. He looked up at his Dao Lord, solemnly cupped his hands, and said:
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Dao Lord, General Zhu and I will definitely protect Dao Lord's Palace!"

Daojun smiled and nodded, his figure transforming into golden light and instantly disappearing into the incense space.

He naturally trusted Fang Cheng and Zhu Dayou's abilities, and Daojun Palace now had several more immortal officials than before, so manpower was no longer as tight, and he figured there wouldn't be any trouble.

In the Heavenly Court, in the Palace of the Daoist Lord.

As soon as the Divine Physician Daojun appeared in his own deep green palace, he quickly sensed a familiar aura approaching Daojun Palace.

Daojun smiled, rose from his throne, and strode out of Daojun Palace, looking at Taibai Jinxing, who was riding the clouds toward them.

"Daojun, how have you been? It's been quite a while since we last met~"

"Star Lord, how have you been? I brought back some freshly brewed apricot wine from the Heavenly Palace. Would you like to have a couple of cups with me?"

Venus shook his head and said:

"With the Peach Banquet approaching, Qiming Palace is quite busy. Last time, that monkey ruined the Peach Banquet, so we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes this time."
