Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 12 Refining the Yin True Fire

Zhen Yuanzi said, "Fellow Daoists, although the name of Daoist Panwang offends the Great God Pangu, he is not a truly evil person. I hope that if you are going to find him, you will consider my feelings and not make things difficult for him."

Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches calmed down somewhat, thinking that out of respect for Zhen Yuanzi, they would not make things too difficult for Pan Wang.

Zhen Yuanzi then smiled and said, "That's excellent. Otherwise, if my words cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Panwang, it would all be my fault."

Fearing that the ancestral witches might not understand the power of Panwang Gu Dao, Zhen Yuanzi further explained some of the powerful aspects of Panwang Gu Dao.

Its Gu technique uses all kinds of insects in the world as Gu, and drives the Gu insects to perform the spell! But these insects are not just insects in the general sense, but refer to anything in the world that can move, which can be called insects. They are divided into five categories, namely, those with scales, fur, feathers and insects, which can all be used as Gu.

He even tried to discuss Taoist techniques with Zhen Yuanzi, and once said to Zhen Yuanzi that if he could go further, not only things that could move, but even things that could not move, such as grass, trees, rocks, etc., might not be impossible to refine into Gu.

All living beings in this world are insects, parasites that feed on the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, the way of Gu is also the righteous way of heaven and earth, which can encompass all things and transform all living beings into Gu.

Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches were also startled. Dijiang said, "This Taoist priest does have some remarkable qualities. We must treat him with respect."

After a ginseng fruit banquet.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi traveled together, leaving the Wu tribe, but returned to Wanshou Mountain.

Along the way, the two continued to talk. Zhen Yuanzi said, "During my travels, I have almost traveled all over the Eastern land and met many fellow Daoists with profound cultivation. Among them are three people that I cannot mention in the Wu Clan, but I want to tell you about them separately."

"Oh? Which three are they?"

"These three are also true descendants of Pangu, but they were not formed from the essence and blood of Pangu. Instead, they were conceived from the primordial spirit of the great god Pangu. Therefore, they are called the Three Pure Ones. Along with the Wu Clan, one excels in the physical body, and the other in the primordial spirit."

Zhen Yuanzi said to Hongyun, "The Three Pure Ones are Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing. The eldest is called Laozi, the next is Yuanshi, and the third is Tongtian."

"They live on the east side of Kunlun Mountain, where they have built cave dwellings. I will introduce them to you in the future."

Although Hongyun already knew about the Three Pure Ones, he couldn't refuse Zhen Yuanzi's request, and at the same time, he also wanted to meet and befriend the Three Pure Ones.

After all, the Three Pure Ones are destined to become Heavenly Saints, a certainty that is certain, which is much better than Hongyun's uncertain future.

So Hongyun took the opportunity to ask, "What makes these Three Pure Ones so powerful?"

"As the true descendants of Pangu, they naturally inherited Pangu's legacy. Therefore, all three of them are blessed with great fortune and have profound cultivation. Each of them is above me and on par with you. In addition, Taiqing Laozi is good at alchemy, Yuqing Yuanshi is good at weapon crafting, and Shangqing Tongtian likes to practice formations. They are truly not to be underestimated."

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, "Besides that, there is another thing. Taiqing Laozi also has a treasure born with him, which is another treasure of merit, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which comes from the same source as your Hongmeng Measuring Ruler."

"This pagoda is different from your measuring ruler. It is said that once it is placed on top, one is invincible. This shows how powerful its defense is, even surpassing my Earth Book."

"Um."

Hongyun nodded, but then smiled and said, "Brother, don't underestimate yourself. Although your Earth Book is only a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, when its power is truly unleashed, the difference between it and a supreme treasure is not that great."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said nothing. The two brothers soon returned to Wanshou Mountain.

"I need to continue refining the Primordial Measuring Ruler, so I'm going into seclusion for now. We can talk about it when I come out. Oh, and if the ginseng fruit ripens, you have to save some for me," Hongyun said.

Zhen Yuanzi laughed irritably, "Go away, go away! Do you think I'd neglect you while you're here?"

Hongyun then went into seclusion.

However, when Hongyun went into seclusion, he did not immediately begin to refine the Primordial Measuring Ruler. Instead, he took out a small spark of fire.

This spark was the reward he received for choosing to inform Houtu about the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

The seed of the Taiyin True Fire, one of the Ten Great Divine Fires of the Primordial Era.

As Hongyun took out the Taiyin True Fire, the palace where Hongyun was located, centered on the Taiyin True Fire, visibly seemed to gradually solidify even the void.

Clumps of ice crystals spread outwards from the center of the red cloud. However, the palace had already been protected by an array set up by the red cloud.

Although the palace was filled with a chilling atmosphere, it could not penetrate the array to affect the outside.

The reason for this is because the divine fire in Hongyun's hand, Taiyin, means the most terrifying cold.

For this reason, the Taiyin True Fire, although it is fire, is not scorching hot, but rather extremely cold.

It can freeze everything, especially ethereal spiritual entities such as the primordial spirit and soul, where it is even more lethal.

The Ten Great Divine Fires of the Primordial Era: True Fire of the Sun, Fire of Southern Brightness, Heavenly Fire of Purple Star, Profound Fire of Nine Heavens, Karmic Fire of Red Lotus, Fire of Nirvana, Ghost Fire of the Netherworld, True Fire of Samadhi, Divine Fire of Six Ding, and True Fire of Taiyin.

The order of the rankings is not significant.

Moreover, Hongyun felt that the so-called Ten Divine Flames were not very reliable. As far as he knew, there were many other divine flames that were no worse than any of the Ten Divine Flames.

For example, the fire in the Eight Views Palace Lantern of Taiqing Laozi is called the Burning Heaven Purple Fire, which has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea, just like the true fire of the sun.

For example, there is the Jade Void Glazed Lamp of Yuqing Yuanshi, among which the Ancient Flame of Ten Thousand Spirits is no less than any other divine fire.

However, no matter what, this Taiyin True Fire does have its unique features, representing the ultimate Yin flame.

"This fire is most adept at destroying souls and primordial spirits, but conversely, it is also the most suitable treasure for tempering primordial spirits. As one of the Four Symbols Spirits, I can withstand it. I will use this fire to temper my primordial spirit!"

The thought flashed through Hongyun's mind, and without further hesitation, she sent the seed of the Taiyin True Fire into her sea of ​​consciousness.

The fire drifted in from between Hongyun's eyebrows. After a while, Hongyun groaned, and his entire body, starting from his head, turned into an ice sculpture in just a few breaths.

Of course, this does not mean that Hongyun could not withstand the Taiyin True Fire and was frozen by it.

It was only when the Taiyin True Fire was incorporated into the primordial spirit that a trace of cold air dissipated, which led to this situation.

After the Taiyin True Fire was incorporated into his primordial spirit, Hongyun used the extreme cold power of the fire to begin tempering his primordial spirit.

However, this Taiyin True Fire is just a small spark, and its power is still not enough. In order to strengthen this Taiyin True Fire...

Hongyun even used his own cultivation to help it grow stronger.

Thus, through the accumulated tempering over time, Hongyun's primordial spirit, tempered by the Taiyin True Fire, had fully adapted to this extreme cold power.

Through the Taiyin True Fire, Hongyun even comprehended many profound mysteries about the Taiyin Way.

The Taiyin True Fire was also successfully controlled by Hongyun, and even transformed into one of Hongyun's supernatural powers.
