Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Chapter 154 The Divine Lord of the Clouds Ascends to the Queen Mother's Kingdom

Li Shaojun suppressed his excitement and approached Huang Bai step by step.

His face still bore the marks of respect and fervor.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

Boom!

A burst of lightning erupted, and a blinding white light instantly illuminated the entire venue.

Li Shaojun's skin burst open on the spot, the cracks spreading out like a spider web, revealing his bloody flesh inside.

He was in human form, so he did not reveal any demonic body.

"puff!"

Li Shaojun coughed up blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

He retreated more than ten feet, his feet leaving two deep marks on the ground, and it took him a great deal of effort to regain his footing.

"mean!"

Li Shaojun looked up at Huang Bai, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

He didn't know how Huang Bai discovered him.

He was clearly using a divine appearance to conceal his aura; logically, no one in the world should have been able to see through it.

Could it be... those two mysterious celestial eyes?

Li Shaojun harbored resentment in his heart.

We underestimated our opponent.

Even though he knew that Huang Bai possessed thunder magic, he was still too confident in his transformation techniques.

Fortunately, the painted skin blocked the fatal blow for him; otherwise, that lightning bolt would have been enough to char his internal organs.

Boom!

Two more bolts of lightning struck.

Lightning bolts struck Li Shaojun's head from both the left and right.

Li Shaojun's expression changed, and he dodged in a disheveled manner.

The lightning struck the ground, sending pebbles flying and scorched earth scattering, causing the entire venue to tremble.

The Taoist priests at the meeting were terrified when they saw this scene.

"Retreat now!"

"There's a demon!"

"Don't come near!"

The crowd scattered and retreated, keeping their distance.

Fortunately, Huang Bai and Li Shaojun ignored the others.

Only a few sorcerers who were too close were affected by the aftershocks of the lightning spell, falling to the ground and groaning in pain, but their injuries were not fatal.

"What a powerful thunder technique! No wonder you are the Eastern King Duke."

Li Shaojun raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but a deeper greed appeared in his eyes.

He had a chance to leave.

With his ability to transform, if he were willing to give up this opportunity, he might be able to escape Zhongnan Mountain.

But he took a fancy to the yellow and white flesh.

If he could swallow Huang Bai, his path to ascension might take another step forward.

So, he still wanted to give it a shot.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Li Shaojun said "good" three times in a row.

"Next, let me show you my Crimson Stove True Lord Immortal Skin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shaojun made a hand seal, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Wow!

The next moment, flames rose from beneath his feet, instantly engulfing his body.

The flames rolled like crimson ribbons, and black smoke billowed from the fire, swirling around him.

Boom boom boom!

Thunder continued to bombard Li Shaojun.

Bolts of lightning struck into the curtain of fire, causing his body to sway and sparks to fly.

The next moment, Li Shaojun used the fire to suddenly create a distance of several dozen feet.

The flames subsided.

His true appearance was finally revealed.

A black gauze crown formed from condensed smoke appeared on Li Shaojun's head, with twelve wisps of black smoke hanging down from it.

He wore a dark red robe embroidered with furnaces, fire patterns, ears of grain, elixirs, and stove horses.

He held an iron fan in one hand and a red copper cauldron in the other.

The three-zhang-tall Dharma body stood amidst the flames, its entire body covered in cracks.

Black smoke and fire continuously spewed out from within the crack, as if it had transformed into a furnace that could explode at any moment.

This is the skin of the True Lord of the Red Stove.

"die!"

Li Shaojun fanned himself with his iron fan.

call!

Thick black smoke rose from the flat ground.

Black smoke quickly spread around, obscuring everyone's vision and isolating them from ordinary aura detection.

Then, Li Shaojun opened the lid of the red copper cauldron.

Inside the cauldron, a bright red light, like the opening of a furnace, shone forth, directly aimed at Huang Bai.

call!

Flames suddenly rose up from the center of the yellow and white color.

In an instant, the entire area within a radius of ten feet was engulfed by the fire.

Crimson flames soared into the sky, and black smoke billowed.

The ground was charred black, and a pungent, burnt smell filled the air.

"Huang Bai, I will refine you into an unparalleled elixir!"

Li Shaojun stood amidst the flames, a triumphant smile on his face.

This is the hearth fire.

It was made using the fires of countless homes and the flames of alchemy.

Once a flame locks onto a target, it will not be easily extinguished.

I will not stop until my skin and flesh are completely burned away and my essence is completely refined.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from within the curtain of fire.

Unharmed, the yellow and white creature emerged from the flames.

His robes swayed gently in the flames.

A crimson dragon coiled on his right shoulder.

The dragon raised its head, its scales like molten gold, and its eyes like fiery pearls.

Under the influence of the heat dragon, the stove fire not only failed to harm Huang Bai, but also automatically parted to the sides as if encountering a king.

The sudden turn of events left Li Shaojun momentarily stunned.

In a battle between masters, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

In the instant he was stunned, three jet-black water mines cleaved through the curtain of fire.

boom!

Black lightning, like churning deep water, carrying a chilling aura, slammed fiercely towards Li Shaojun.

Roar! !

The next moment, the cold dragon roared out, exuding a chilling aura.

It burst through the curtain of fire, carving a cold path straight towards Li Shaojun's three-zhang-tall body.

When the stove fire met the cold dragon, it immediately emitted a piercing sizzling sound.

White smoke billowed out, and heat waves rolled back.

Boom boom boom!

"Ah! Yellow and white!!"

Li Shaojun roared to the sky.

He was already injured by lightning magic, and then he encountered something that countered him, such as cold dragon and water lightning, putting him at a disadvantage.

Black mines continued to fall.

The cold dragon repeatedly struck his physical body.

At this moment, Li Shaojun felt immense regret.

After years of seclusion, he achieved great mastery of his divine skills.

He mastered the art of immortality, believing his skills to be the pinnacle of the world.

Anyone in such a situation would feel an arrogance, as if they had ascended to the top of the world and looked down on everyone else.

I never expected that I would encounter someone like Huang Bai, who completely restrains me, right after I was born.

Even his most prized transformation technique could not escape Huang Bai's divine eye.

If he had known this would happen, he should have been more careful.

boom!

A large amount of white smoke emanated from Li Shaojun's body.

The divine skin of the True Lord of the Red Stove finally gave way and began to crumble inch by inch.

"No!"

Li Shaojun roared angrily.

Before the sound could fully travel, Leng Long had already pounced on him.

The chilling aura instantly sealed his flesh and body.

Li Shaojun froze into an ice sculpture on the spot.

The next moment, another mine crashed down.

boom!

The ice sculpture shattered.

The black smoke dissipated, and the flames went out.

All that remained was an iron fan and a red copper cauldron.

Huang Bai stepped forward, picked up the iron fan and the red copper cauldron, and casually put them into his bag.

He looked at what he had in his hand and felt quite satisfied.

"That's really kind of you, bringing a gift just to attend the meeting."

After years of refining by Li Shaojun, the effect is much better than the old alchemy furnace that Huang Bai used before.

Wow!

Almost everyone in the venue had left.

However, they did not leave completely, but instead hid in the distance and watched.

Seeing that Huang Bai had defeated his opponent, the alchemists mustered their courage and approached.

Smiles returned to their faces, their expressions almost obsequious.

"The prince is incredibly powerful; the demon was beheaded in a moment. I admire him greatly."

"The prince's magical powers are boundless; we are truly convinced."

"If it weren't for the prince recognizing the sorcerer today, we might have been deceived by this scoundrel for who knows how long."

"The Heavenly Eye of the Eastern King Duke shines upon the world, and indeed, evil spirits cannot hide there."

Everyone rushed forward to flatter Huang Bai, trying to build a good relationship with him.

Their disheveled state as they scattered and fled just now seemed as if it had never happened.

Huang Bai paid no attention to these people's flattery.

He looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, there was a little mishap today, please don't take offense."

"No, no."

"You're too kind, Your Highness."

"What does the chaos caused by sorcerers have to do with the princes and nobles?"

"It is our good fortune to witness the king subdue the demon today."

Huang Bai nodded and said, "Let's conclude today's Immortal Gathering here. Take care, everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly bowed and took their leave.

Huang Bai dismissed everyone and then summoned Qingniao.

A clear chirp fell.

A bluebird flew down from the clouds, transformed into the appearance of a palace maid, and stood in front of Huang Bai.

"Princes and nobles".

Huang Bai said, "Bluebird, follow the scent of that person to find his lair and bring back all his belongings."

"yes!"

The bluebird accepted the order, turned around, transformed back into a bluebird, and flapped its wings to leave.

The bluebird is skilled in wind magic and has an extremely keen sense of smell.

In terms of finding people and things, even Huang Bai can't compare to her.

……

Valley of Zhongnan Mountain.

This place is very different from what it was eight years ago.

Dozens of palaces and temples have sprung up in the valleys.

The temples and monasteries are arranged in the shape of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and the ground is covered with a layer of green carpet, which is the Pangu corpse moss.

Huang Bai transformed this place into a new branch of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.

Unlike the magical realm of Penglai Immortal Kingdom, this place is also home to many more demons.

There were bull demons responsible for carrying things, monkey demons doing odd jobs and sweeping, and dog demons guarding the gate and patrolling the mountain.

The stronger the species, the more difficult it is to awaken and the more resources it consumes.

Therefore, Huang Bai did not enlighten any powerful beasts for the time being, but only selected ordinary livestock to serve as servants.

Besides the monsters, there were also Taoist priests coming and going.

Today, Zhongnan Mountain has begun to resemble a fairyland.

Inside the main hall.

Huang Bai sat at the desk, looking at the Taiyi General's Journey Picture in front of him.

There was a pile of jade slips beside him.

These jade slips were all ancient texts that Qingniao had collected from where Li Shaojun was staying.

He turned the pages of the yellow and white volumes, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

"So it turns out you can go through the Heavenly Gate in the opposite direction."

Huang Bai seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the records left by Li Shaojun, after cultivating to the level of Immortal Skin, one can withstand the tribulation of lightning, pass through the Heavenly Gate, and head to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The so-called Mountain and Sea Realm is actually the upper realm of this realm.

The lineage of the Guhuoniao (a mythical bird) belongs to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is located within the boundary between mountains and seas.

Huang Bai put down the jade slip and recalled the details of his previous fight with Li Shaojun.

"No wonder the lightning magic didn't do much damage to him; it turns out he's already reached the standard for ascension in broad daylight."

Therefore, it seems that the Heavenly Decree is truly aimed at the world above the Heavenly Gate this time.

Huang Bai then went to the altar in the back.

He placed the Taiyi Jiangxing Diagram on the altar and then took out the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal to open the altar.

The moment the seal was placed, a clear light shone above the altar.

The yellow and white hands form a mudra while the mouth chants a spell.

"May the heavens be clear and the earth peaceful, and may we live forever..."

After the incantation was recited, the clouds surged.

The once clear sky turned cloudy in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Azure lightning bolts tumbled in the clouds, their pale light illuminating the earth.

A circular golden ring gradually appeared in the sky.

The golden ring was previously pitch black, and within it, a vast and desolate world vaguely emerged.

The shadows of mountains, clouds, mythical beasts, and palaces are faintly visible within the golden ring.

Huang Bai summoned the bluebird and gave it a brief explanation.

"If I don't return, the Zhongnan Immortal Kingdom and the Heavenly Dao tablet are yours."

The bluebird stood beside him, its expression as aloof as ever.

"yes!"

She answered decisively without asking any further questions.

Huang Bai was about to go up when he suddenly remembered something.

He paused, then looked up at the Heavenly Gate.

"Wait, going to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West would expose us!"

Given his current appearance and aura, if he were to rashly enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would be difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't be recognized as unusual by the people of the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom.

With a thought, Huang Bai took out an incense stick from the Muchen Pearl.

【Invoking Incense】: Light the incense, transform into someone who has experienced the world, inherit all their abilities, and maintain this for three hours.

Huang Bai silently recited in his heart.

In the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Wow!

The incense has burned out.

A wisp of green smoke appeared, and the yellow and white figures transformed accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a woman with a bird's head and a body covered in colorful feathers.

"Hey!"

With a cry, the yellow-and-white-haired creature flapped its wings, broke through the thunderous layer, and soared straight into the Heavenly Gate.

According to the information we had previously obtained, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was a messenger from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

Furthermore, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is not a single person, but a group of people.

So going there now in this appearance shouldn't cause any immediate problems.

No matter what, we have to give it our all.

Otherwise, one cannot escape this realm.

A thought flashed through Huang Bai's mind.

"There's still one substitute incense stick left, so it's not like there's no way out."

Wow!

Beyond the Heavenly Gate lies a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Huang Bai was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he passed through the Heavenly Gate.

A large mountain stands before me.

The mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, with snow-capped peaks reaching the sky and a sea of ​​clouds pressing down on the earth. It seems as if the sun, moon, and stars rise and set behind the mountain peaks.

White stone is like bone, black rock is like iron.

Amidst the clouds and mist, the long cries of strange beasts could be heard from time to time, their sounds echoing for miles, causing the trees to rustle.

Palaces are hidden in the clouds, and pavilions are built on cliffs.

Some people are dressed in feathered robes and ride the wind.

There are also strange and divine beings with bird heads and human bodies, snake tails and human faces, walking among the clouds and mist.

Huang Bai was startled.

"Kunlun Mountains?"

He looked up at the majestic mountain, a rare look of surprise in his eyes.

"Is this the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom that Penglai Immortal Kingdom is comparable to? So after being painted with the skin of an immortal, I ascended to this place."

The vastness of this place far exceeds that of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's spiritual realm by several times.

An ancient and desolate aura washes over you.

At this moment, the Heavenly Decree lit up.

[Heavenly Decree to Exorcise Demons: Travel to the world of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and uncover the secrets of the painted skin.]

The secret of the painted skin has been exposed, and we can leave this place at any time.

"It's that simple."

Huang Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

He had initially thought it would be very difficult.

Since the Heavenly Decree has determined that the mission is complete, there is no need for him to stay in this realm any longer.

Just then, clouds began to churn in the distance.

Someone came riding on a cloud.

The newcomer was handsome and of noble character.

The robes were pure white and clear, as if woven from the sunlight, clouds and dew.

He walked on clouds, surrounded by a pure aura, and his demeanor exuded the composure of a celestial being.

Behind him followed a strange bird with bluish-black plumage, a woman's head, and a bird's body.

Huang Bai glanced at him, and the third eye on his forehead twitched slightly.

"The Ubume?"

He immediately saw through the facade and realized the truth.

Who is that person in front of us?

Just then, the Guhuoniao also spotted the yellow and white bird.

She mistook Huang Bai for a phoenix messenger from the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom and immediately cried out in a shrill voice:

"Messenger of the Phoenix, stop this man!"

Upon hearing this, the noble-looking man in front of him slightly changed his expression.

"good!"

Huang Bai revealed a strange smile.

Without explanation or hesitation, he directly unleashed the supernatural powers of this phoenix body.

In an instant, a fierce storm broke out, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

The clouds churned, the wind howled, and lightning and rain fell simultaneously.

However, these supernatural powers were not directed at the man in front of them.

It is the Guhuoniao.

"What are you doing?"

The magical powers instantly overwhelmed the Guhuoniao.

Lightning, wind blades, and rain curtains intertwined, and from within came the exasperated voice of the Guhuoniao.

Huang Bai was about to transcend this realm, and his form began to slowly fade. He returned to his original appearance.

Black hair, golden crown, and colorful fairy robes.

He has two third eyes on his forehead, one black and one white, which are very mysterious.

The noble man's eyes lit up when he saw the strange yellow and white phenomenon.

"What a magnificent immortal in feathered robes, a divine being with four eyes! I, Lord of the Clouds, will remember your kindness, fellow Daoist."

Huang Bai smiled slightly.

"So it was Lord Yunzhong. It was nothing."

The moment his form faded, all magic in the world could no longer attack him.

So Huang Bai felt much more relaxed.

The Lord of the Clouds flew in on a cloud, brushing past Huang and Bai.

"Catch!"

He suddenly burst into laughter, plucked a lingzhi mushroom from his cloud-like robe, and tossed it toward Huang Bai.

"Haha, off we go!"

The Ganoderma lucidum flew into Huang Bai's hands.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The next moment, he completely disappeared from this world.
