Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 376 Eight Views Palace

With the death of the Great Sage of the Taiyin Divine Sect, its foundation was also completely destroyed by the Old Madman, and the Taiyin Divine Sect was destined to be destroyed in the end.

Faced with a powerful expert at the Great Sage level, wielding a quasi-Emperor weapon, how could the Taiyin Divine Sect possibly withstand such a challenge?

Yuan Changqing had originally planned to have the old madman use an imperial weapon, but after learning about the Sun God Cult's quasi-imperial weapon, he felt it was unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Besides, imperial weapons should not be used lightly; having quasi-imperial weapons is enough to dominate.

Seeing their entire foundation crumble, the higher-ups of the Taiyin Divine Sect were utterly desperate, knowing that they were doomed this time.

"Kill! Kill all these sinners who murdered the descendants of the Holy Empress of Taiyin! Charge!" Yuan Changqing shouted loudly, his cold and sharp voice echoing through the sky.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Instantly, shouts of killing echoed throughout the Taiyin Divine Sect. The cultivators who were besieging the Taiyin Divine Sect seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they fought fiercely to kill the Taiyin Divine Sect members.

Yuan Changqing and the Sun Saint Lord also joined the battle, charging towards those Dao-Slaying Kings. If these experts were not eliminated now, they would become a scourge if left behind, and their side would suffer heavy losses.

"My Moon Palace is willing to lend a helping hand to the Cult of the Sun God!"

"We, the King of Men, have come to exterminate the sins of the Taiyin Divine Cult!"

"I, the Goddess Ziwei, have come..."

"..."

Moreover, it wasn't just Yuan Changqing and the experts from the Sun God Cult who joined forces; experts from various other participating forces also came out together to besiege and kill the experts from the Taiyin God Cult.

Under such circumstances, the experts of the Taiyin Divine Sect were quickly defeated, and the overall situation was settled!

When there are real benefits, all those forces rush to grab them. The real benefits are yet to come, and if you don't put in the effort, how can you get the most delicious share of the pie?

However, Yuan Changqing and the Sun Saint Lord knew they couldn't stop them, so they acquiesced to these forces.

After all, the Taiyin Divine Sect is a top-tier power that the Sun Divine Sect cannot monopolize.

The Holy Lord of the Sun then stepped forward and said, "Thank you all for coming to help."

Anyone can say polite words. Since we can't stop them, we should let these forces know that the Sun God Cult is willing to give up some benefits.

However, since you have received benefits, you must be indebted to the Sun God Cult.

With the involvement of various forces, the Taiyin Divine Sect was quickly destroyed.

What follows will be a grand feast, a carnival, where all the major powers, minor powers, and independent cultivators will reap enormous benefits from the Taiyin Divine Sect.

As the saying goes: Whale fall brings life to all things!

Within the treasury of the Taiyin Divine Sect, various books, weapons, and elixirs were continuously taken out and divided up.

Ultimately, the Taiyin Divine Sect, a long-standing lineage, was completely destroyed by countless independent cultivators and various powerful forces.

Although there are still some who have slipped through the net, the Taiyin God Sect has done many bad things in the past, and these people cannot escape their destined fate.

The Taiyin Divine Cult existed for a time after the bloodline of the Taiyin Holy Emperor was slaughtered, but now that it has been destroyed, that facade is gone.

Perhaps, the Taiyin Divine Cult, the oldest human power, will never exist again.

Without becoming an immortal and achieving longevity, even the most powerful force will eventually perish.

Just like the two oldest forces, the Sun and the Moon, on the ancient planet Ziwei.

Even without Yuan Changqing's appearance, the Sun God Cult would have been destroyed.

……

After news of the Taiyin Divine Sect's destruction spread throughout the Ziwei Ancient Star, it spread rapidly to the outside world like a tornado.

Instantly, the ancient star of Ziwei was also shaken by this news.

The Taiyin Divine Sect has a long history. As the lineage left by the Taiyin Holy Emperor, it started from the ancient times, went through the Desolate Ancient Era, the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, and up to the present day. After countless years, it finally came to an end.

This news spread throughout Ziwei Ancient Star, causing countless people to sigh with regret.

And the Sun God Cult made people realize that it had truly begun to rise.

The fact that a Great Sage wielding a Quasi-Emperor weapon has taken action this time indicates that the Sun God Cult is very well prepared for its attack on the Moon God Cult.

Those forces that still coveted the Sun God Cult immediately ceased their clandestine activities, no longer wishing to provoke them.

After all, the current Taiyin Divine Cult serves as a cautionary tale.

The Taiyin Divine Sect, once a top power, has, after so many years, become no different from other major powers on the ancient Ziwei Star.

The array patterns of the Imperial Array had long been erased, and it only possessed the Taiyin Immortal Scripture, making it no different from any other holy land or major sect.

Next, Yuan Changqing prepared to return to Beidou. He had already spent enough time on this ancient star, Ziwei, and there was no point in staying any longer.

……

Eight Views Palace.

This is the legacy left by Lao Tzu, now occupied by Yi Tiande, the prodigy of the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Within the Eight Views Palace stands a five-colored altar, which leads to the place where the Emperor of the Big Dipper is buried.

Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan are now using this place to return to Beidou.

As for the old madman, after the Taiyin Divine Sect incident ended, he said goodbye to Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan and then disappeared without a trace.

Ye Fan had originally planned to have the old madman take him back to Beidou.

However, after learning from Yuan Changqing that there was a way to go back, he gave up that idea.

"Hachigami Palace!"

Ye Fan looked at the ancient gate tower standing in front of him, shrouded in purple mist. It seemed rather ordinary and not particularly majestic, yet it gave off an aura that could suppress the heavens and the earth.

As clouds surged and mist rose, the Eight Views Palace seemed to be the palace of an immortal deity, with the aura of the Great Dao constantly flowing within, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of all things. Named, it is the mother of all things..."

When Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan arrived at the purple palace, they instantly felt an aura and momentum that was supreme, high, far-reaching, and profound. The palace was filled with scriptures that were mysterious and unfathomable.

"Senior, this is the Tao Te Ching!" Ye Fan exclaimed.

Back on Earth, Ye Fan had always enjoyed exploring the unusual and was very interested in myths and ancient texts.

Therefore, upon seeing the inscriptions on the palace, one knows that it is the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu, which was read on Earth.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "It is indeed the Tao Te Ching written by the sage Lao Tzu, and this is also the place where he left his legacy."

Ye Fan asked, "Senior, does this mean that the sage Laozi visited Ziwei? I also saw the marks left by the sage Laozi and Shakyamuni Buddha in Beidou before."

"That doesn't mean that the myths and legends we have on Earth are basically true."

Although Ye Fan had some guesses after seeing the marks of Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni Buddha, he also had some knowledge of the ancient mythological figures on Earth, and he had also seen the Hetu Luoshu, an imperial weapon, from Yuan Changqing.

Therefore, I believe that those great figures in history must have been unparalleled experts who had achieved great success in cultivation.

Moreover, the ancient Jiang family located on the Jiang River and the ancient Ji family located on the Ji River, as depicted in the Big Dipper, are remarkably similar to the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor on Earth.

They were just from different places. Although there were guesses, their surnames were generally the same. At that time, Ye Fan had some suspicions and they had made some suggestions to each other.

Ye Fan then asked, "Senior, are those great figures from our hometown's myths and legends actually cultivators, or even peerless experts?"

Ye Fan will figure these things out sooner or later, so Yuan Changqing has nothing to hide from him.

"That's right. When we came to Beidou, the ancient temple we passed on Mars was actually the place where Shakyamuni Buddha used to suppress the ancestral crocodile."

"And those great figures in history were indeed unparalleled powerhouses."

"However, later, something happened on Earth, and it entered the Dharma-ending Age, the Age of No Spirits, which gradually evolved into myths and legends."

Ye Fan nodded, knowing that cultivation was impossible in the Dharma-ending Age and that Earth had entered a world of ordinary people and technology.

"Senior, the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor on Earth look so much like the two ancient families of the Big Dipper. Is there some connection between them?" Ye Fan asked again.

Yuan Changqing added, "They are both related and unrelated. You have to understand, there's a huge time gap between them."

Ye Fan thought about it and agreed. The ancient Jiang family and the Ji family were both extremely powerful forces that had existed for a very long time. The time gap between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor on Earth was too long.

Ye Fan then asked, "Senior, you said there's a connection between them. Could it be that their descendants came to Earth?"

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "No, that's not it. Few people know the secrets behind it. Since you asked, I'll tell you."

"We all know that emperors generally only live for about ten thousand years. If there is an elixir of immortality, they may have a chance to live a second life."

"However, the Emperor's lifespan is limited, and no one can change that. You will gradually understand this as your strength increases in the future."

"So, keep the seed of the immortal medicine in your hand safe. Maybe you can live another lifetime with its help in the future."

"Of course, each kind of immortality elixir can only be used once."

After hearing this, Ye Fan realized that the Immortal Elixir had such miraculous effects, and felt that he should collect more information about the Immortal Elixir in the future.

Yuan Changqing continued, "Actually, Earth has another name, called the Corpse-Nourishing Land. As the name suggests, it means that if you are buried on Earth, your soul can be reborn from your corpse."

"However, this only works if the body is buried in Kunlun, and the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were newly born souls from the corpses of the Great Emperor Hengyu and the Great Emperor Xukong."

This secret surprised Ye Fan greatly. He said, "So, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were just two imperial corpses with spiritual powers. That's why you said they were related to the Jiang and Ji families of the Big Dipper, yet also not related to them."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "That's right, because their souls passed through the Corpse-Nourishing Ground, new souls were born."

"So, strictly speaking, they are now a completely new individual."

"However, since it is a spirit of an imperial corpse, there is some connection in terms of bloodline."

"Keep these secrets to yourself and don't spread them around. Otherwise, Earth will be in turmoil and it will definitely cause a huge uproar."

Ye Fan nodded, understanding the relative importance of the matter.

Looking at the Taiqing Scenic Area, Yuan Changqing told Ye Fan a secret that surprised him.

"Ye Fan, what do you think of the Tao Te Ching and the Taoist scriptures you cultivate?"

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's question, Ye Fan also realized how similar the Daoist scriptures were to the Tao Te Ching. He had previously thought that only the sage Lao Tzu had borrowed from the Daoist scriptures.

Now that he had learned some secrets about Earth from Yuan Changqing, he immediately thought of something.

Ye Fan said, "Senior, do you mean that Laozi, the Sage, also communicated with the spirit through the Emperor's Corpse on Earth, and that the Moral Celestial Venerable was the predecessor of Laozi, the Sage?"

"That's right, otherwise, why do you think there are so many myths and legends on Earth?" Yuan Changqing nodded and said.

Ye Fan then asked, "Senior, do you also know of any mythological figures who communicated with spirits through the corpses of emperors?"

Yuan Changqing replied, "As far as I know, there's also Shakyamuni. As for the others, I don't know."

"Alright, just keep these in mind. When you return to Earth, you can visit Kunlun."

"However, there are countless imperial formations there, so you must be careful if you go."

Ye Fan was puzzled. Although Kunlun Mountain was basically unsuitable for human habitation, quite a few people lived there. So how could there be an Imperial Array there?

Seeing Ye Fan's confusion, Yuan Changqing explained, "What we see as Kunlun Mountain isn't actually the real Kunlun Mountain. Compared to the real Kunlun Mountain, it's just a small hill. Do you understand now?"

Ye Fan was immediately startled and said, "Senior, do you mean that what we see of Kunlun Mountain is only a small part that is visible to the outside world, and the rest is shrouded by the Emperor's Formation?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "That's right. Otherwise, do you think ordinary people can survive in Kunlun Mountain? If you don't know how to form formations, even a quasi-emperor would perish if they went in."

"Moreover, this is not something that can be solved simply by your expertise in formations. Even if you are an expert in formations, you can only operate on the outer perimeter."

Ye Fan was also shocked and asked, "Senior, have you ever been inside the real Kunlun Mountain?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "I did go in there. My strength was cultivated there. On our planet Earth, or rather, in the star system where Earth is located, only Kunlun Mountain has abundant spiritual energy."

"Moreover, I was only on the outer perimeter of Kunlun Mountain. I couldn't go any deeper inside. It was extremely dangerous, with imperial formations everywhere. If I wasn't careful, I would perish."

Ye Fan suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So our hometown has such a big secret! I didn't know that before. This is truly an eye-opener!"

"Yes, when you go there later, you'll discover there are even more secrets," Yuan Changqing said with deep emotion.

When Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan arrived at the Eight Views Palace, they saw a mysterious purple mist swirling around them.

This place looks like a furnace, covered with densely packed characters that radiate divine light, as if branded into the void.

After examining it, Yuan Changqing said, "This is an extremely advanced Dao guide. Although it is not a cultivation scripture, it can still help people enter the Dao realm."

The Tao Te Ching is not a cultivation scripture, but it is full of "Tao" and "principle," which is why it is widely circulated on Earth.

After all, apart from the Sun Saint Emperor and the Moon Saint Emperor spreading their cultivation scriptures widely among the human race, everyone else's cultivation scriptures are passed down to their successors.

Within this Eight Views Palace, countless divine runes are inscribed. To break them with force would require a power surpassing that of the sage Laozi.

Alternatively, one must be proficient in array patterns and find the correct way to enter; otherwise, it will be very difficult to enter.

As soon as Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan entered the Eight Views Palace, purple mist rose, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere that inspired awe.

The misty atmosphere, like bathing in celestial energy, makes one feel completely relaxed.

This Eight Views Palace is a magnificent palace. If you cultivate here, you will be several times faster than in other places.

Ye Fan also sensed it at this moment, and then said, "I don't know what kind of luck Yi Tiande had to obtain the inheritance of Laozi, the sage. No wonder he is so strong. It turns out that it is because of this treasure land of the Eight Trigrams Palace."

The more Ye Fan talked, the more envious he became; this place was practically a paradise on earth.

Thinking back to myself, every step of my cultivation was so difficult, while Yi Tiande had a treasure land to enhance his cultivation. It would be a lie to say I wasn't envious.
