Taoist priests in the supernatural world

"So this is the way to ascend to immortality."

Huang Bai was filled with emotion.

Like an ugly silkworm, it spins a cocoon and sleeps, then breaks free and emerges as a light-winged moth.

Soaring into the sky in broad daylight, he ascended to immortality.

The ancients referred to becoming an immortal as "feathering," and there was some truth to that.

He still finds the process of refining the elixir mysterious when he recalls it now.

"but……"

Huang Bai lowered his head again and looked at his hands.

As soon as he had a thought, the clear light flowing under his skin gradually subsided.

The various strange phenomena brought about by the ascension to immortality gradually returned to normal.

Her almost translucent skin regained its smooth, jade-like texture.

However, if one senses carefully, one can perceive that this body is completely different from that of an ordinary person.

Each breath felt like a harmonious response to the pure energy of heaven and earth.

"Blood transforms into elixir..."

Huang Bai could clearly sense that the pale golden blood flowing in his body was actually an extremely pure internal elixir.

Every drop of blood is like molten gold that has been forged and refined in the furnace, containing immense vitality, spiritual power, and essence.

He even sensed that when the blood flowed through his meridians, the acupoints all over his body glowed slightly, like tiny golden rivers circulating throughout his body.

Thinking of this, Huang Bai's expression became somewhat strange.

"Speaking of which..."

"Would I now be considered to have turned myself into a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

If a demon were to devour me, I would truly be blessed, as my cultivation level, spiritual attainment, and lifespan would all increase dramatically.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party actually has the ability to bite him.

Huang Bai gathered his thoughts and continued to sense his own lifespan.

"I originally had a lifespan of over three hundred years."

"Now, the third time I have attained the elixir, I have added another 180 years."

"About five hundred years."

This five-hundred-year lifespan is not the true limit of the physical body.

Huang Bai now has many methods to extend his lifespan from different levels.

If one only seeks to live, it may not be only five hundred years.

But these five hundred years should be seen as a period of cultivating both body and mind.

If this period has passed and one tries to prolong life through other means, it will damage the foundation of cultivating both body and mind.

Even with a long lifespan, one is not immune to becoming biased.

Immortality is not just about living a long time, but about living a complete life.

If one merely lingers on in a state of limbo, becoming a mindless plant or an incarnation trapped in the Dharma realm, then that is not the immortality that Huang Bai desires.

Huang Bai looked up at the sky.

Above the Penglai Dharma Realm, purple mist descended, and five-colored clouds swirled.

The strange phenomena of the elixir gradually subsided.

The celestial light condensed and did not dissipate, slowly transforming into a five-colored feather robe around his body.

The feathered robe, styled like a cloak, was lightly draped over the yellow and white body.

The fairy robes were light and airy, clinging to the body without being restrictive. From afar, they appeared as a layer of five-colored mist, while up close, one could see countless fine feathers layered upon each other.

The feathers are fine and soft, and touching them feels like stroking clouds.

Wow!

With a slight thought, Huang Bai rose into the air.

Her figure was as light as a feather.

Dust, turbid air, and yin energy all automatically shun it.

He was merely suspended in mid-air, yet he possessed an ethereal aura untouched by worldly affairs.

"Soaring through the air with ease."

"To ward off dust and filth."

"My darling!"

Huang Bai reached out and fiddled with the edge of his feather robe, the colorful feathers moving at his will, as if this thing were a part of his own mind.

The feathered robe was sometimes colorful, like a rosy glow covering the body.

Sometimes it transforms into a single color, concealing all its aura.

If Huang Bai so desires, it can even be transformed into an ordinary Taoist robe, concealing all the extraordinary features of the immortals.

This is the immortal in feathered robes after his third elixir-refining.

From then on, the extraordinary appearance of the winged people no longer needed to be revealed.

It can be folded into clothing, dispersed into clouds, transformed into a beam of light, or used to protect the body.

Wow!

Huang Bai soared into the air once more, his figure transforming into a streak of five-colored light, and disappeared into the Penglai Dharma Realm.

……

outside world.

The battle at Hulao Pass continues.

boom!

Celestial script and cloud-like characters appeared in the void.

One after another, crimson runes meandered and unfurled, transforming into thunderbolts that roared down.

Lightning struck the Five Elements Primordial Eight Trigrams Formation.

Crack!

The array plate trembled violently, and a crack was forcibly blasted open in the five-colored light screen.

The cracks spread from top to bottom, like glass shattering.

"puff!"

Zuo Ci coughed up blood.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he swayed precariously.

The paper crane beneath his feet lost its radiance and could no longer support his body. He fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

On the other side, Zhang Jiao was also unable to hold on.

His nine-section staff was dull and lifeless, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.

After the previous series of battles, coupled with his forced confrontation with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, his internal thunder energy was almost completely depleted.

His palms were charred black, and he barely had the strength to lift the magic sword.

Above the sky, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spread her wings.

Its colorful feathers reflect the sun and moon, and its body is covered with celestial script and cloud patterns that swirl endlessly.

She looked down at the crowd below, her voice resounding throughout the area.

"By order of the Queen Mother of the West."

"Acting on behalf of Heaven, slaying the outliers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sun and moon appeared to be in the same position in the sky once again.

The blazing sun and the bright moon shine together.

The moonlight continued to gather, condensing into a giant white jade plow in front of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

The plow was three zhang wide, its entire surface like jade, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.

Then, the plow and harrow plowed towards the direction where Zhang Jiao and his men were.

This is the Golden Mother's Spell for Plowing Through the Sky and Destroying the City.

It is a large-scale killing spell passed down from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

Once the land is plowed from east to west, not only flesh and blood, but also city walls and military formations will be torn apart.

Upon hearing this, the Taiping Han army immediately fell silent.

Many soldiers looked up at the huge jade plow, their faces showing fear.

Many soldiers could not even stand steadily and could only use their spears to support their bodies.

Liu Bei stood in the army camp, watching helplessly as the jade plow flew towards Zhang Jiao, and also towards their direction.

The surrounding troops began to riot, the morale of the Taiping army plummeted, and there were signs of collapse.

刘备拔剑怒喝：

"What's the panic! The Eastern King Duke hasn't made a move yet!"

He looked around, his voice growing louder.

"The old Heaven is dead, the new Heaven shall rise! We are the true rulers!"

"A mere Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden dares to symbolize the will of Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers finally calmed down a bit.

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and roared, "I'd rather fight this bastard to the death!"

Liu Bei did not turn back.

He just stared intently at the white jade plow, his palms already covered in cold sweat.

He spoke with conviction, and he knew in his heart that if the Eastern King Duke did not make a move, the morale of the New Han army would completely collapse after this blow.

……

Beyond the Dharma realm.

His yellow and white eyes shone brightly.

After breaking through to the third stage of the Core Formation, his golden eyes could see even more.

Between heaven and earth are colorful lines, which are the vital energy that makes up all things in the universe.

Besides these, there is another line that is extremely mysterious.

It is elusive, like incense, or perhaps the will of some deity.

The line extended from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's body, reaching deep into the void.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady uses this to receive the will of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom and also to draw power from the moon.

"Could it be the Queen Mother of the West?"

Huang Bai's eyes flickered slightly.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to completely sever this thing using the Dragon Slayer Technique."

If we forcibly cut it down, we might even alert those deeper within.

Thinking of this, Huang Bai took out an incense stick from the Muchen Pearl.

【Incense of Karma】: After lighting the incense, one can temporarily sever all causal ties between oneself and the world, making one untraceable, untrackable, and uncursable, lasting for half a day.

This fragrance comes from the world of Van Helsing.

Originally, Huang Bai was kept to deal with those Western evil beings who were skilled in curses and causal tracking.

I never expected it would come in so handy today.

With a flick of his fingers, Huang Bai snapped his fingers.

Incense is lit.

A wisp of smoke rose, transforming into a thin, shimmering garment that enveloped the yellow and white figures.

In an instant, all the causal energy on his body became blurred.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow and white light transformed into five-colored rays and flew out of the Dharma realm.

The other end.

The white jade plow was gradually approaching Zhang Jiao, and its unstoppable divine power made the earth rumble.

Zhang Jiao looked up at the jade plow, a hint of despair in his eyes.

"My lord, the path to enlightenment has ended here."

He sighed softly, knowing he had done his best.

Zhang Jiao knew that the king had high hopes for him, hoping that he would ascend to heaven in broad daylight and become the True Lord of the Eastern Flower Life-Giving Realm of the Immortal Kingdom, ruling over the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

In the end, it was still just one step short.

Just as the white jade plow was about to fall, the world suddenly shone brightly.

A beam of multicolored light pierced through the sky.

They landed instantly in front of Zhang Jiao; the newcomer was none other than Huang Bai.

Huang Bai was dressed in a five-colored fairy robe.

The fairy robes, like rosy clouds, draped over her body, shimmering and dazzling, a truly magnificent sight.

The hem flutters in the wind, like a five-colored cloud stretching across the sky and earth.

Zhang Jiao looked up and his eyes immediately filled with wild joy.

"Perfectly dressed, a celestial being in feathered robes, the prince has finally broken through!"

Isn't this exactly the realm of the immortals in feathered robes that the prince spoke of?

Huang Bai did not turn back.

The hem of the five-colored fairy robe extended several feet, transforming into a five-colored cloud shield that blocked the way for everyone.

boom!

The Golden Mother's City-Breaking Curse slammed into the immortal robes.

In an instant, a deafening roar erupted.

"what!"

Cover your ears!

The soldiers and horses below were thrown into chaos.

Many of the generals in the Taiping Han Army were physically strong, but they were still shaken to the point of swaying and turning pale.

Some ordinary soldiers bled from their ears and noses on the spot and fell to the ground.

The white jade plow, powerful enough to plow through city walls, was forcefully blocked outside the colorful fairy robes.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, along with the extraordinary generals who had come to join them, were all filled with shock.

"Is this what they call a battle of gods?"

"Supernatural arts can never compare to divine arts."

Everyone was extremely surprised.

As extraordinary individuals, they originally harbored a certain sense of superiority.

Seeing the battle between the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Huang Bai, his sense of superiority was shattered.

Compared to this level, their bloodline abilities are nothing more than slightly stronger martial arts.

The most shocked person was none other than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

She hung high in the air, staring intently at Huang Bai.

Huang Bai was dressed in colorful fairy clothes, like a colorful silkworm moth, or a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring.

The extraordinary phenomena that followed the breakthrough—her icy skin and snow-white bones, her clear and bright spirit—were all reflected in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"A winged person! The winged person Xihe from the Kingdom of Shaohao!"

"How did they get here?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was greatly shocked, a look of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Xihe Yuren is the official in charge of astronomy and calendar, belonging to the high-ranking Yuren. Although the Yuren in front of him has just entered the field, his aura is definitely not wrong.

What shocked the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden even more was that she could no longer sense the aura of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom.

The causal link that originally connected the Moon Palace and the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West became blurred in her perception.

This means that she can no longer draw power from the moon, and may not even be able to return to the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom smoothly.

A hint of panic flickered in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"This person is the real anomaly; it must be this person who did the trick."

"die!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden flapped her wings.

The white jade plow turned around and attacked the yellow and white plows again.

Whoosh!

Huang Bai's figure flickered, transforming into a five-colored ray of light, dodging the attack of the Heaven-Plowing Curse.

At the same time, he raised his hand and unleashed five bolts of Five Elements Thunder.

The five elements of thunder—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—emerged simultaneously.

Lightning flashed and pierced the sky.

The five thunderbolts moved in unison, their energy flow remained undisturbed, and they even subtly formed a small circulation among themselves.

Previously, Huang Bai was unable to use Five Thunderbolts at once.

Now, having broken through to the third stage of the Core Formation, his aura is complete, his core power is immense, and his strength has reached a new level.

boom!

The white jade plow missed its target and smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Immediately afterwards, the plow rose up again and continued its attack on Huangbai.

A man and a bird engage in a fierce battle in the air.

They fought from the sky to the ground, from the battlefield to the desolate wilderness.

The colorful lights and the soaring birds complement each other.

Because Huang Bai is protected by the incense of karma, he cannot be tracked, cursed, or locked by magic.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could only determine direction by sight, which greatly reduced the accuracy of her spells.

With the five-colored immortal robes providing defense, escape, and support, and the assistance of the innate Bagua array plate, Huang Bai appeared to be in complete control.

There are countless techniques and methods, and they are ever-changing.

In an instant, thunder and fire crisscrossed the sky, clouds exploded, cold dragons spewed mist, and flames burned the sky.

While Huang and Bai were fighting, Huang spoke up:

"Dragons, snakes, and birds have been fighting each other since ancient times. You are a bird, yet you have sought refuge in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."

"Wouldn't that be aiding and abetting evil?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spread her wings, and the Heavenly Book and Cloud Script transformed into a wind blade that slashed down.

Huang Bai, clad in a five-colored fairy robe, walked against the wind.

The wind blades landed on the fairy robes, only splashing specks of colorful light.

Huang Bai continued:

"You have made no progress in your entire life, not because you lack talent, but because you have long since become a slave of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom."

"It has only been a little over a hundred years since I started cultivating from a mortal to this point."

"And how many years did it take you?"

Each word pierced the heart of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden like a knife.

One was dressed in a five-colored fairy robe, and the other had five-colored feathers.

Although they seem to have the same origin, they are actually worlds apart.

The yellow and white feathered robe is a manifestation of one's own spiritual cultivation after practicing both physical and mental cultivation.

The feathers of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden were actually a magical gift from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

Boom!

Several more bolts of lightning struck.

The colorful feathers on the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's body were charred black by the attack and flew everywhere.

A large scorch mark was burned on one side of her wing by the fire and lightning.

On the other side, the icy mist exhaled by the cold dragon froze them, slowing their movements by half a beat.

Clearly, she couldn't hold on for much longer.

Just then, Huang Bai's figure seemed to slow down for a moment.

A small gap was visible at the edge of the colorful fairy robe.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's eyes lit up.

"A great opportunity!"

Without hesitation, she immediately manipulated the white jade plow to attack Huang Bai.

boom!

The plow slammed down hard on the colorful fairy robes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After repeated impacts, the colorful fairy robe finally gave way and a noticeable tear appeared.

Just as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was about to feel a surge of joy.

But then one could see that the cracks in the immortal robes were exposed to the pure air of heaven and earth.

The next moment, the crack slowly healed.

The colorful light flowed again, and the feathers closed up once more.

"How is that possible!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden cried out in alarm.

Huang Bai looked at her, his voice sharp, and said:

"Why is it impossible? The supernatural arts of cultivating both body and spirit are beyond the comprehension of someone like you who relies on the immortal kingdom!"

Before the words were even finished, Huang Bai's figure had already approached the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

The five-colored fairy robes transformed into a wisp of light and came directly close to her.

In an instant, the sword flashed brilliantly.

The magic sword swept across the sky.

The goddess of the Nine Heavens paused for a moment.

The next moment, a head fell to the ground.

boom!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's body was severed from its head and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Her colorful feathers quickly lost their luster, turning into grayish-white remnants.

The white jade plow also shattered into a shower of moonlight in mid-air.

The yellow and white pieces landed slowly.

The five-colored fairy robes transformed into ordinary Taoist robes, concealing all the magical aura emanating from him.

The ethereal and divine aura that had just been present vanished in an instant, replaced by tranquility.

"Congratulations, Immortal, on achieving great mastery of your supernatural powers!"

Congratulations, Your Highness!

As soon as Huang Bai landed, everyone stepped forward to congratulate him.

After a fierce battle, everyone had some injuries.

Huang Bai raised his hand and waved.

A beam of blue light shone down on everyone, and the wounds of everyone present gradually healed.

The soldiers who had been injured by the Golden Mother's City-Breaking Curse were also recovering.

Huang Bai looked at Zhang Jiao.

"Are you alright?"

Zhang Jiao struggled to his feet, cupped his hands, and said:

"It's alright. I gained a lot from this battle. I should be able to break through to the Great Tranquility Realm when I go back to seclusion this time."

The Taiping Essentials that Zhang Jiao learned were essentially the external alchemy methods passed down by Huang Bai, the Maoshan meditation techniques, and other spells such as thunder magic and talismans.

Witnessing the battle between the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Huang Bai is both a tribulation and an opportunity for him.

Huang Bai nodded.

"That's right. You should investigate the site where the meteorite fell back then. There might still be mythical beasts of the Queen Mother of the West's lineage there. This place is called the Kingdom of Hatred."

Huang Bai looked up at the boundless starry sky.

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West will not give up so easily.

The next time, the people sent by the Queen Mother of the West will likely be even stronger.

But that would be hundreds of years from now.

I believe that by then, the strength of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom will be vastly different from what it was before.

Zhang Jiao cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, disciple will definitely send people to search."

Zhang Jiao ruled the Kingdom of Dao, while Liu Bei ruled the Kingdom of Ren.

As the unification of the world progresses, it won't be long before we find the so-called Kingdom of Hatred of Heaven.

Huang Bai made a few simple arrangements and then returned to the Penglai Dharma Realm.

……

Inside the village of Dixian.

The purple aura that had previously enveloped the entire world has dissipated.

Perhaps due to the unusual phenomenon that occurred when the Yellow and White Elixir was absorbed, the corpse moss and other plants in this area have become much more lush.

Even An Qisheng's green hair became radiant.

"Princes and nobles".

An Qisheng stepped forward and bowed.

Huang Bai nodded and walked straight towards the woods behind the Fusang tree.

The woods here are very interesting; each tree is shaped like a human figure.

Some resemble standing old men, some resemble curled-up children, and some have their hands raised as if struggling before death.

An Qisheng followed behind Huang Bai.

As he passed each wooden figure, he whispered a name.

"Bao'er, Gao Yao, Song Wuji, Lu Sheng, Li Shaojun..."

These names, scattered in the woods, are like belated calls to the dead.

Further on, there were wooden figures formed from the ghostly soldiers, Huang and Bai.

Since the Yin soldiers couldn't keep up with his cultivation level, Huang Bai simply let them all possess his body and be reborn.

Unfortunately, after they possessed bodies, they ultimately could not escape the backlash of the Pangu Corpse Moss.

An Qisheng looked at the wooden figures and sighed deeply.

"The petrification is irreversible; they should have enjoyed a longer lifespan."

"What a pity, if only they were born in the current Immortal Kingdom."

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

The group turned to wood and could not be reborn, nor could they ever be young again.

During the Battle of Penglai, countless people were prematurely turned to wood.

Huang Bai stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping across the room, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Then I'll give them another chance."

An Qisheng suddenly looked up.

Huang Bai opened his right palm, and a drop of pale golden essence blood slowly condensed in the center of his palm.

The essence and blood were like elixir or golden dew; as soon as they appeared, a unique fragrance filled the surrounding area.

The entire forest swayed gently.

As if sensing something, the nearby flowers and plants all leaned towards the yellow and white area.

The next moment, the essence and blood turned into mist.

Wisps of pale golden mist flew towards the surrounding wooden figures, and the wood color and green hue on the figures began to fade gradually.

The hard bark softened little by little, the withered branches transformed into arms, the thick roots into feet, and the flesh gradually revealed beneath the wood grain.

Those who had been swallowed by the Pangu Corpse Moss, nourished by the pale gold essence blood, once again revealed their true appearance as living people.

In an instant.

Full of life, withered trees come back to life, and all kinds of flowers bloom.

Petals fall from the branches, only to be lifted up by the gentle breeze in mid-air.

An Qisheng stood there, his eyes slightly red.

He looked at his old friends who had been restored to their former glory, his lips trembling, unable to speak for a moment.

Huang Bai stood tall amidst the flowers, his colorful feathered robes peeking out from beneath, his body shimmering with a clear light, as if the Wood God and the Azure Emperor had descended to earth.

From this day forward, spring has a master in the human world; I am the Green Emperor, who commands the Spring Peak.
