The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 217 Pure Primordial Nature, the Position of True Monarch

The young man, transformed from Fuxi, was remarkably composed. The white jade lion cat pondered for a moment, then its gaze swept across the small courtyard, and suddenly it had an epiphany—

"Oh, that's it."

"The Venerable God Fuxi wanted to appear as a sincere, reliable, and harmless elder brother in front of the Empress, so he..."

boom! ! !
A long, slender, fair hand with distinct joints descended from the sky.

They grabbed the white jade lion cat's head tightly and lifted it up.

The white jade lion cat transformed into a cat-shaped strip hanging down, its limbs flailing wildly.

"It hurts!"

"He's bald! He's bald!"

"Death, death, death!"

The handsome young man's smile grew even warmer, but his eyes held no warmth as he gently shook the cat in his hand.

"What are you saying, pretending? I've always been a reliable and harmless older brother. But you, oh dear, you filthy thing, that stupid monk didn't get rid of you back then."

He rubbed his thumb against the cat's ear, his tone casual:
"Don't you know that cats that are too smart will turn into cat pancakes?"

The white jade lion cat suddenly realized: "Your Majesty knows me!"

"She even touched my tail!"

Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "We can't keep this tail."

The white jade lion cat's head was buzzing, making it impossible to discern Fuxi's personality at all.

But with a thud, the cat seemed to have been thrown to the ground, rolling around before regaining its balance. The young man, hands tucked into his sleeves, lazily poked the lion cat with his toe and said:

"Can't you just keep your mouth shut?"

The white jade lion cat was heartbroken: "When Manjushri was enlightening me, he also put a bunch of restrictions on me, like monks not lying, so I can't lie."

The handsome young man said listlessly, "That really suits his personality."

The white jade lion cat asked ingratiatingly, "What are your plans to do with the outsiders?"

The young man asked, "How shall I make my move?"

He looked at the cat trembling in a ball, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips: "Isn't this what you're here for?"

The lion cat stared blankly: "Me?!!"

………………

When Zhou Yan broke through, the energy within a thousand miles was relatively peaceful. However, when he began to break through, the surging and rolling waves of energy and the spontaneously flowing clouds from the earth's veins were not so bad for ordinary people with mortal bodies. But anyone with some spiritual vision or divine eyes could not hide it.

Si Chen, from the Nine Elders Cave on Mount Emei, stroked his beard and exclaimed, "What a magnificent aura!"

"The earth's veins in the Zhongnan Mountains surge to this point; could it be that some supreme treasure has been born?!"

Lushan Qingnang Zhenguan seemed to be deep in thought, and said:
"The earth veins here were first condensed by that calamity for more than a thousand years, and then pulled out by the True Lord of the Western Mountain. It is like a spiritual medicine that has been repeatedly purified in a pill furnace. The treasures that are being nurtured now will definitely be of extraordinary quality."

"The power of the earth's veins here is much purer, so it's not surprising that it could give birth to some kind of treasure."

The True King of Zhenyin of Tianmen Mountain coldly replied, "Even if it is a treasure, it belongs to the mountain gods of Zhongnan Mountain. What does it have to do with you and me?"

The True Official of the Green Bag smiled, not intending to argue with the True King of Zhenyin. Instead, the Nine Old Cave Master said, "The True King is mistaken. When a treasure appears, and no one is here, it should naturally be occupied by the virtuous."

"Even if it's already taken, it's okay for us to go and take a look."

As Lao Sichen said, he was shrewd and cunning.

The True Official of the Green Bag stroked his beard and said, "That's true. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Zhenyin Zhenwang was silent for a moment, but unable to resist his curiosity, he said, "Alright."

The three mountain gods are all the masters of the branches of famous mountains and rivers, which is similar to the status of the peacock to the Western Mountain. They are not weak in their own realm. Even if they are far away from their own earth vein dojo, they are still at the fifth level. They headed towards that place.

In another location, the hidden Golden Heavenly King of the Western Peak transformed back into a righteous deity, holding a long spear, watching the earth veins surge for thousands of miles, with the pure earth vein energy even transforming into a magnificent scene of clouds and mist spreading out in all directions.

"...The treasure of Zhongnan Mountain is about to be born."

"Now that the Eastern Peak is gone and I have lost the power over the Western Peak, those rebellious officials are acting recklessly. If I can seize the opportunity to obtain the treasures of Zhongnan Mountain, at least I will have the possibility of making a comeback."

King Jin's gaze was icy:
"If we can seize this treasure, I will nail them one by one to the West Mountain cliff!"

Having lost the Seal of Mount Hua and fallen back to the fourth rank of the Strong, Jin Tianwang gripped his spear. Seeing this opportunity, he did not hesitate and sped towards the direction where Zhou Yan was breaking through.

Another direction.

The Dragon Slayer was filled with worry as he traveled from the Western Peak to the Louguan Pass.

Behind them were two figures: the Earth God of Mount Hua, dressed in a simple blue robe, and a general of the Soul-Suppressing Camp, clad in black iron armor, each carrying a nanmu coffin carved with cloud patterns on a ebony pole.

Inside are the remains of a young Taoist priest who was assassinated by a mountain god of the Western Peak.

The Dragon Slayer had barely managed to restore order to the chaos in the Western Mountain and planned to go to the Supreme Pavilion to apologize.

After traveling several hundred miles, they sensed a change in the earth's veins in the Zhongnan Mountains. The local earth god of Mount Hua exclaimed, "Hiss—this, this is quite a commotion! Could it be that some treasure has emerged?!"

"Lord Dragon Slayer, let's go take a look."

"If there are any treasures, it would be good for us to have them. When the True Lord went back before, he packed up all his belongings. After that, a large number of mountain gods and generals rebelled and divided up the family property. Now we are poor."

"We can barely afford to offer incense anymore."

The general of the Soul Suppressing Camp said, "That's not appropriate."

"The True Lord just made a move on the Zhongnan Mountain's ley lines. If we go there now, we'll probably be criticized."

The local deity of Mount Hua shouted, "Let them criticize! If we do nothing, will they stop criticizing us?"

The general of the Soul Suppressing Camp said, "We can't actually do that."

The local earth god of Mount Hua said, "They've all cursed us. If we don't do something, wouldn't we be just letting them curse us for nothing?" This sentence silenced the general of the Soul Suppressing Camp. Neither of them could convince the other, so they both looked at the Dragon Slayer.

Seeing the commotion, the Dragon Slayer said, "Go and take a look."

"If it is a treasure, protect it and return it to the Zhongnan Mountain lineage."

Huashan Land God: "What?!"

Duanlong Shi's voice was solemn as he said, "The actions of the True Lord have brought the prestige of my Xiyue lineage, which has lasted for a thousand years, to the brink of ruin. If we do not maintain order, will my Xiyue lineage truly be reduced to a gathering place for ordinary mountain spirits and monsters?!"

"Throughout history, the True Lords of the Western Peak have all guarded this place!" said the Earth God of Mount Hua. "But they went to Kunlun Mountain and never came back."

The Dragon Slayer said, "That is precisely why."

"It is precisely because the world is now criticizing us that we need to be even more steadfast."

"go!"

Aside from these mountain gods with established origins, all sorts of demons, monsters, cultivators, and even mountain and water gods within this thousand-mile radius have been activated by this geological anomaly. The timid ones hide far away, while those who feel they have great abilities travel at breakneck speed, intending to seize the opportunity.

But soon, whether it was the Golden Heavenly King, the Dragon Slayer Envoy, or the mountain spirits, they all realized something was wrong. No matter which way they went, they were getting further and further away from the place where the earth veins were flowing.

Within the primordial energy clouds condensed from the earth's veins, there seems to be some other existence.

It seems to be just a very simple maze, but—

They were trapped by the simplest method?!

who is it! ?
Inside the courtyard, a handsome young man sat on the wall, one leg bent and the other dangling down, his hand supporting his chin, his left hand holding a ceramic bowl, which he casually poured out. The bowl contained water, but as it fell, it turned into clouds.

The clouds churned and rolled, crashing directly to the ground.

Then, following the condensation of the earth's veins, the clouds and mist spread out, extending for thousands of miles.

"No need to fight. Just add a little something extra to what they're after, and that'll be enough."

The white jade lion cat looked at the ceramic bowl in the handsome young man's hand. Seeing that the water inside seemed endless, it knew that this was an extraordinary treasure. After a moment of stunned silence, it blurted out, "Isn't this a treasure from the home of the great god Gonggong?"

"...Could it be that when the great god Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain?"

"While all the great gods were protecting this matter, you, sir, went to Gonggong's cave and robbed people?!"

"No wonder you weren't there!"

The white lion cat immediately realized something was wrong as soon as it blurted out its words. It covered its mouth with its paws, its eyes filled with tears, its tail wagged ingratiatingly, and then it meowed softly.

Inside, a roar of fury, almost deafening, filled his heart.

Manjushri!
What the fuck...

The moment the swear words appeared in my mind, they were transformed into Amitabha Buddha.

The white jade lion cat finally realized how many layers of control this guy had placed on it. These controls might have been hidden before, but they activated on their own when Manjushri perished, used to discipline this cat.

You, you, you? Is this how the great supernatural powers of Buddhist vows are used?!
The white jade lion cat's head trembled with anger.

"Manjushri, you are a Buddha!"

"Good! Good--good!"

Fuxi slapped him off the wall and said lazily, "I can't fight right now, you go and guard the gate." He played with an ancient bowl, looked at the small courtyard, and said, "Now it's your turn, kid."

With the blessing of the thousand-mile-long earth vein of Zhongnan Mountain, Zhou Yan's path to the fifth rank has begun, and his aura has already reached its peak.

The blood-red battle aura of the ancient war lord, the golden Brahma light of the Buddhist Womb Realm, the pure and mysterious aura of the Taoist Primordial True Meaning, and the bright yellow earth aura of the thousand-mile-long Zhongnan Mountain veins.

Four streams of pure energy swirled and flowed around him—

Sometimes it transforms into a phantom of a soldier roaring with a spear, sometimes it spreads out the fine light patterns of a mandala barrier, and sometimes it condenses into the outline of a primordial tai chi, flowing between yin and yang, eternally still.

During this process, the three elements of earth, water, and fire naturally manifested themselves, like three tangible, tangible rainbows that swirled around Zhou Yan's hands.

All three forces have reached a state of ultimate purity.

The power of the earth was obtained by Zhou Yan through meditation, following Manjushri's instructions, within the body of the calamity beast that had transformed into the fifth calamity during the confrontation between Manjushri and the Weaver Girl; the water was the supreme water of Taoism, and the fire was the fundamental flame of the Eight-Faced Buddha Manjushri, the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fire.

Only these three forces can confront the final condensed true essence of the ancient warlord, preventing it from being directly shattered and swallowed up by that blood-red, murderous force, thus maintaining the balance.

Ultimately, the power of the supreme good water flowed into the Taoist Primordial True Meaning; the Eight Heavenly Dragons Fire naturally merged with the Buddhist lineage; and the power of the earth veins merged into the authority of mountains and rivers. In the end, the three of them fought against the military lineage and reached a balance!
One-third of the Imperial Seal of the State has been occupied by streaks of clear light.

As it slowly rotated, the boundless, condensed light almost pierced through the jade seal itself, nearly bursting it apart.

What kind of power could simultaneously control these four pure innate true essences? The jade seal seemed to become infinitely heavy; this heaviness was not simply the weight of the object, but a conceptual heaviness.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yan slowly raised his hand.

A vast expanse of purple energy emerged from his palm, lifting it up and holding back the seal that carried four strands of pure innate true essence.

Zhou Yan's path to the fifth rank gradually solidified.

Primarily pure.

To go against one's innate energy.

Zhou Yan's path to the fifth rank involves more than just magical abilities; it also involves supernatural powers. Furthermore, due to these four pure innate powers, he eventually acquires abilities similar to authority.

The ancient military lineage—the supreme power of the military!
The Buddhist lineage allows one to activate a miniature Garbhadhatu Mandala barrier in an instant, enabling one to see through subtle causes and effects at a partial level of the eyes and discern falsehoods.

The Taoist lineage—the primordial essence naturally flows through this body, no longer requiring any operation, and tends to be more natural. Whether walking, sitting, or lying down, one is in a state of primordial unity.

The earth veins and ley lines represent the status of the Lord of Mount Tai.

That is, a vacancy.

Zhou Yan felt somewhat embarrassed. After obtaining the title of Lord of Mount Tai, he had only exercised this authority a handful of times. He had neither been able to completely reclaim all of the Dao Fruits of the Duke of Mount Tai, nor had he been able to establish order within the Mount Tai lineage.

It seems that after this matter, we need to further promote the authority of the Lord of Mount Tai. Otherwise, this lineage will become a weakness. At this moment, there are even stricter requirements to truly enter the fifth rank of the divination.

However, there was no time for Zhou Yan to quietly experience it.

He could sense that because of the commotion he made when he broke through, streams of energy were already surging toward him. In fact, Zhou Yan was a little surprised that these energy streams were arriving so late. Had they gotten lost?

It's time to meet the guests.

He slowly opened his eyes.

But he was slightly stunned.

Before him, wisps of bright yellow earth vein energy gathered and transformed into an imperial edict.

This is a seal of a famous mountain and river, whose status is inferior to the Five Sacred Mountains, but no less than that of Emei.

A true monarch's position!

"The decree of the Zhongnan Mountain's geomantic veins..."
