Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Chapter 94 Wuxia Coffin Mountain, the Ageless Immortal Returns

Inside the ancient temple, a golden light flashed.

The yellow and white figure slowly solidified from the void and returned to the main hall of the Heavenly Dao Temple.

The hall remained quiet and serene.

On the altar, the Heavenly Dao tablet stood silently, and wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner.

Huang Bai closed his eyes and sensed his own Qi.

"what?"

Huang Bai opened his eyes and suddenly sensed an unfamiliar presence coming from the side hall.

Its aura is deep and steady, carrying the feeling of mountains and dragon veins, and mixed with the scent of gold dust, mica and elixir fire.

He turned his head and saw that a new passage had appeared deep inside the side hall.

"Could this be the Ming Dynasty world?"

Huang Bai's heart stirred, and he stepped into the passage.

With one step, a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before me.

What comes into view is a vast space.

The sky was bright and clear, but there was neither sun nor moon. A few white clouds floated high in the sky, motionless.

Huang Bai looked up for a moment, and then he understood.

This is not the real world, but a world manifested by the Temple of Heavenly Dao.

Below, a mountain range a hundred feet high stands.

The mountains are majestic, covered with lush vegetation and jagged rocks.

A stream flows down from the mountainside, winding around the peaks like a jade ribbon, and finally merges into a small pool at the foot of the mountain.

Golden light occasionally shimmered on the mountainside.

The yellow and white creatures took off and flew to the mountainside.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that large quantities of gold sand, sand, and mica were exposed.

Some are bright yellow like gold, some are pure white like clouds, and some have a faint reddish glow.

Huang Bai reached out and knocked off a small piece of cloud sand.

The ore felt slightly cool to the touch, yet a faint warmth emanated from deep within the palm.

"This is indeed the world of the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Bai nodded slightly.

At the foot of the mountain stands a large cauldron.

The large cauldron has three legs and two handles, and its entire body is bluish-black. The body of the cauldron is engraved with blurry patterns of mountains, rivers, dragon veins, palaces, and winged people ascending to heaven.

This cauldron bears some resemblance to the one in the center of the First Commandment Hall.

The First Commandment Hall was cold and somber, carrying the ghostly atmosphere of a modern city.

The cauldron before us is heavy and solemn, as if it carries the lingering charm of a dynasty's landscape.

Huang Bai stood before the cauldron, lost in thought.

"Has this meant the world has been completely conquered?"

According to the rules of the Heavenly Decree, only those whose cultivation reaches the peak of this world can manifest a part of the world's appearance inside the Heavenly Temple.

The world of the Great Ming Dynasty may have originally had an upper realm, with immortals and gods, and a gate for inviting gods to borrow their magic.

After Liu Bowen severed the connection between heaven and earth, the human world and the upper realm had long been separated.

Immortals no longer appear, ghosts and gods no longer exist, and the Daoist teachings have ceased to exist.

In such a world, Huang Bai's cultivation level has indeed reached its peak.

It is reasonable that the Tiandao Temple manifests as the Daming Hall.

The yellow and white creatures circled the space once.

Besides the central mountain range, there are large areas of flat land all around.

"good."

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Huang Bai's face.

"This saves a lot of effort in collecting materials."

He is now relying more and more on alchemical practices in his spiritual cultivation.

The Five Thunder Method requires the driving force of elixir energy, the external alchemy and internal alchemy require the support of materials, and the Alchemy Technique also requires a large number of metal and stone materials for repeated testing.

Now that we have the Daming Hall, we no longer need to worry too much about the basic ingredients for alchemy.

"It seems that as the number of worlds traversed increases, the Heavenly Temple will become more and more complete."

Huang Bai's gaze swept over the mountains, the alchemical furnace, the streams, and the void.

"Perhaps it will truly become a world unto itself in the future."

He arrived at the alchemy cauldron at the foot of the mountain, where he saw two incense sticks stuck in the center of the cauldron.

Huang Bai reached out and touched the first incense stick.

【Incense from the Ming Dynasty to the Mortal Realm】: Light the incense and descend to the mortal realm for one hour.

【Incense of Faith and Religion of the Ming Dynasty】: Once lit, it will never go out, and the temple keeper can sense major events of the Ming Dynasty.

"The same as the world of the First Commandment."

Huang Bai nodded slightly.

Both worlds are Red-level worlds, and their reward abilities are basically the same.

The lower realm incense can briefly return to this world.

Incense and the burning of faith are like leaving a long-term point of connection in the world of the Ming Dynasty.

After confirming that there were no further changes, Huang Bai turned and left the Daming Hall, returning to the main hall of the Tiandao Temple.

Above the incense table, the Heavenly Decree floated and shone brightly.

Several new incense sticks appeared in the incense burner.

Huang Bai stepped forward and touched the first one.

【Demon-Suppressing Incense】: Once lit, within half an hour, the abilities of demons and monsters within a radius of 100 meters will be suppressed.

"Demon-Suppressing Incense"

Huang Bai's heart stirred.

This incense stick has a wide range of uses, especially when facing demons and monsters. By suppressing the opponent's magical power in advance, it can often make the battle much easier.

The second incense stick was also for seeking help.

Upon seeing the incense for help, Huang Bai couldn't help but think of Uncle Jiu, Simu, and Qianhe.

In the battle at Changbai Mountain, without the three of them setting up the altar and using their blood and sweat to support the Bagua Net, it would have been difficult for him to force the Black Dragon Jiao out of the Heavenly Pool.

Although the incense for sending reinforcements can only last for half an hour, it can indeed turn the tide of battle at crucial moments.

Huang Bai then looked at the center of the incense burner.

A golden incense stick has appeared there.

This incense is golden in color, with a flowing radiance, and fine runes appear and disappear on its surface.

As soon as Huang Bai approached, he sensed a mysterious spatial fluctuation.

He reached out and touched it.

【Cross-World Incense】: Can bring beings from one world to another. This is limited to communication between worlds that have already been conquered, and the items carried cannot exceed a certain size or cultivation level.

The temple lord may accompany them, and their stay shall not exceed three days.

Huang Bai's eyes lit up slightly.

"This incense stick... is interesting."

This thing seems to have many limitations; it can only be used between worlds that have already been conquered, and the objects it carries cannot exceed a certain size or cultivation level.

Its true importance lies in breaking the restriction that living beings cannot be carried through the passage.

In the past, Huang and Bai could only travel alone when traversing various realms.

Although the Scent of Help can summon aid, it will return to its original world once the time is up.

Unlike cross-world incense, it can truly bring the beings of one world to another world that has already been conquered.

Huang Bai held the golden incense stick, and many thoughts floated through his mind.

What if we sent some out-of-touch geniuses to another world?

He thought of Li Shizhen, Zhang Juzheng, and Qi Jiguang from the Ming Dynasty.

I also thought of Uncle Nine, Four Eyes, and Chizuru from the zombie world.

People from different worlds might have unexpected results if they were to meet briefly.

Huang Bai suddenly thought of Ah Hao from the world of Zombie Rebirth in Seven Days.

That kid likes zombies and ghosts, and he's quite brave, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong place, and he doesn't have anyone around him who can truly guide him.

If we send him to Uncle Nine's command, he might be able to embark on a different path.

However, cross-industry collaborations involve cause and effect and cannot be used indiscriminately.

"Keep it for now, and use it when the right opportunity arises later."

Huang Bai has acquired the cross-border fragrance business.

He then returned to the Daming Hall.

At the foot of the mountain, in front of the alchemy cauldron, Huang Bai waved his sleeve and conjured up an alchemy furnace.

He attempted to refine the Gold Sand and Mica Longevity Pill using materials such as newly grown cloud sand, gold sand, mica, and cinnabar from the mountain.

The fire was lit.

A faint golden aura of elixir then permeated the air.

While controlling the fire, Huang Bai reviewed what he had gained from his trip to the Ming Dynasty.

This trip to the Ming Dynasty was indeed very fruitful.

Not only did he inherit the legacy of the Sun Feathered Man, causing his inner core to undergo a transformation, but he also obtained the secret techniques of the Yellow Stone Book left by Liu Bowen.

The most important of these is the Feng Shui method found in the Heavenly Book.

This method is essentially deeply connected to the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" from the Ghost Blows Out the Light world.

It could even be said that the part of Huang Shigong's Heavenly Book is very likely the source of the entire Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique.

The feng shui techniques that Huang Bai obtained in the Ghost Blows Out the Light world were already powerful enough.

But it is ultimately incomplete.

Now that I have obtained several volumes of "Transformation," "Yin," and "Yang" from Liu Bowen's Heavenly Book, I can finally fill in many crucial gaps in my knowledge.

Finding the dragon vein and locating the acupoint is just the basics. The real profundity lies in transforming the feng shui, severing the dragon vein, and eliminating evil spirits.

"The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique is indeed unbreakable in any tomb."

Huang Bai looked at the flames in the alchemy furnace, and a thought suddenly struck him.

"How about returning to the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light?"

He still had a stick of incense in his hand, which could allow him to return to the world he had been to before.

The world of Ghost Blows Out the Light is very special.

That world is not simply a world of tomb raiding.

These places are connected to ancient gods and many other forces.

Especially the snake god, even though he is dead, he can still influence the human world countless years later.

However, the serpent god no longer possessed a complete physical consciousness; all that remained were the supernatural abilities of its corpse.

Essentially, it is no longer a true living god, but a supernatural phenomenon left behind by a dead god.

Although Huang Bai had acquired a lot of things in the Ghost Blows Out the Light world, he was far from truly completing the game.

"In that case, let's go to Ghost Blows Out the Light first."

"I will try my best to complete the Ghost Blows Out the Light world."

If you can completely complete the Ghost Blows Out the Light world, you might encounter resources such as ancient tombs, ley lines, yin-yang feng shui, and relics of divine corpses.

After refining the elixir, Huang Bai took out the ember incense.

The incense stick is grayish-white with a small dark red spark inside.

With a thought, Huang Bai conjured a wisp of Taiyi True Fire from his fingertips, igniting the embers of the incense.

Incense burned, and blue smoke rose.

Huang Bai silently recited the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light in his mind.

A moment later, the Heavenly Decree lit up.

A golden character slowly appeared.

[Heavenly Decree to Exorcise Demons: Proceed to the Wuxia Coffin Mountain in Ghost Blows Out the Light to unravel the secrets of Pangu's Corpse Vein.]

"Wuxia Coffin Mountain..."

Huang Bai murmured the name.

Related memories then surfaced in my mind.

This is an extremely important part of the later stages of the Ghost Blows Out the Light world, and it is also the last great adventure before Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Shirley Yang retire from their quest for immortality.

Entrusted by archaeologist Professor Sun, Hu Bayi and his companions followed the clues left by Feng Shigu, the Grand Protector of Guanshan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and ventured deep into the Coffin Gorge of Wushan to search for the legendary ancient tomb of Dixian Village.

They deciphered the Black Sheep King's stele, overcame various dangers in the Coffin Gorge, and encountered strange objects such as the Nine Deaths Terrifying Tomb Armor and the Copper-Corroded Blood Mist.

It was later discovered that Professor Sun was actually a descendant of the Feng family.

He deliberately lured everyone into the scheme, not simply for archaeological purposes, but to use outsiders to complete the ancient evil technique of sealing the master's corpse and achieving immortality.

In the tombs of the dead, the so-called Corpse Immortals are not enlightened immortals, but terrifying living corpses conceived by the Pangu Corpse Moss and ancient witchcraft.

Finally, the tomb was destroyed and the armor cracked. Hu Bayi and his companions used explosives and tomb raiding talismans to fight their way out and escaped from Wuxia Gorge with Feng Shigu's bronze divination mirror.

Professor Sun also perished in the coffin mountain after the truth came to light, ending the centuries-old delusion of the Guanshan Taibao lineage.

"Pangu Corpse Moss".

What attracted him most in this part was the transformation of the corpse into an immortal.

The so-called "corpse pills" found in the Coffin Mountain of Wuxia are actually Pangu's corpse moss.

This type of lichen can prevent the flesh from decaying, allowing the corpse to retain a certain degree of activity after death.

To mortals, this is close to immortality.

However, Huang Bai believed that this was not true immortality.

The corpse can move, but it is just a walking corpse. This so-called corpse immortal is nothing more than someone who did not die completely.

Even so, the Pangu Corpse Moss has extremely high value.

"Feng Shigu can be considered a remarkable person."

Huang Bai's eyes flickered slightly.

This person is well-versed in feng shui secrets and can predict events hundreds of years in the future.

Dixian Village is a culmination of feng shui and geomancy techniques.

What Huang Bai cared about even more was the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor, which was made of copper armor, fish bones, blood vines and other materials.

It is both an inanimate object and a living object.

It is neither an ordinary mechanism nor an ordinary ghost.

Huang Bai's alchemy is currently unable to transform truly living things. However, by utilizing the Nine Deaths Shocking Armor, which exists between life and death, it might be possible to advance the alchemy to a new level.

Thinking of this, Huang Bai felt a sense of anticipation.

His figure gradually faded away.

Before leaving the Tiandao Temple, Huang Bai chuckled softly.

"Let me have a go at you, you Corpse-Dissolving Immortal."

……

Xiangxi.

Bottle Mountain.

This place is located in the heart of western Hunan, surrounded by peaks with unique and spectacular mountain scenery.

From a distance, Ping Mountain resembles a large-bellied ancient bottle, leaning precariously among the surrounding peaks.

The mountain is steep, as if cleaved by a knife and axe, while its base is surrounded by dense forest.

Every morning or after rain, rainbows and colorful clouds often rise from the summit of Ping Mountain.

When outsiders see this, they will most likely think it is a divine intervention.

Local elders all know that it is the mercury mist left over from alchemy in Ping Mountain over the centuries, mixed with miasma and dampness in the mountain.

It looks dazzling, but it's actually deadly.

At the foot of the mountain stands a temple with flourishing incense offerings.

This temple is called Shigong Temple, also known as Pingshan Temple.

The temple does not enshrine ordinary city gods or local deities, but rather a celestial tablet.

Behind the memorial tablet is a statue of the teacher, Huang Bai.

Locals all know that the Ping Mountain Temple is dedicated to an immortal deity.

Back then, this deity descended upon Ping Mountain, vanquished demons and evil spirits, and saved many people.

Later, another legend said that the Master once led his disciples to fight evil spirits outside the heavens.

The younger generation can no longer distinguish between true and false stories.

The incense at Shigong Temple has burned continuously for decades, and over time, Pingshan Temple has become an integral part of the local cultural symbol.

In the backyard.

An old banyan tree has lush branches and leaves, and its canopy is like a canopy.

An old tea table sits under the tree.

Two elderly men were sitting under a tree, basking in the sun.

The elderly man on the left was wearing round-framed sunglasses, with a thin face and slightly sunken eyes.

Although he was blind, he still exuded the air of a former leader of the martial arts world.

This person was none other than Chen Yulou, the former leader of the Unloading Ridge faction.

The old man on the right was wearing a faded Taoist robe.

His hair and beard were all white, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his body was clearly in decline.

This person was Rong Bao.

Decades have passed, and the little Miao man who followed Huang Bai back then has now become an old man with a full head of white hair.

"Cough cough..."

Rongbao suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Several disciples and their followers, hearing the commotion, quickly ran over from under the eaves.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Please slow down!"

"I'll go get the medicine!"

Rongbao coughed until his face turned red, but he waved his hand impatiently.

"What's the panic? I'm not dead yet! Go, go, go all go and check on the incense."

The disciples and their followers looked at each other in bewilderment and could only retreat cautiously.

After everyone had gone far away, Rongbao leaned back in his rattan chair and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, I'm getting old. My health is declining year by year. I'm afraid I won't make it through this summer."

Chen Yulou put down his teacup and slowly fanned himself.

"You should find a successor. This temple has a large number of worshippers, and it can't be supported by an old man like you forever."

Upon hearing this, Rong Bao's face showed a hint of annoyance: "I want to look for them too. Unfortunately, they're all useless."

Chen Yulou chuckled and said, "Be content. It's good enough to have a choice. Look at how much our four major tomb raiding sects have declined now!"

"You're lucky you even have a choice. Do you think everyone has been to outer space like you?"

"From beyond the heavens..."

Rongbao gazed at the distant horizon, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his cloudy eyes.

"I really want to fight alongside my teacher again."

Being summoned by his master to fight evil spirits in the heavens was the most unforgettable experience of his life.

Unfortunately, he is now old.

Let alone fighting evil spirits in the heavens, even walking a few more steps would leave one panting for half a day.

Chen Yulou raised his head, and although it was pitch black in front of him, it still seemed as if he was looking in the direction of Ping Mountain.

Will Master Huang return?

This is truly a divine being; from the Republic of China era to the 1980s, he has never aged.

Rongbao stroked his beard and remained silent for a long time.

"Maybe he'll come back."

"The likes of Master are beyond our comprehension."

"only……"

He gave a bitter smile and said, "By the time he comes back, we'll probably all be gone."

The two fell silent for a moment, and the backyard became quiet.

Only the banyan leaves rustled softly in the wind.

Just then, a golden light suddenly appeared on the summit of Ping Mountain.

The golden light was extremely faint, flashing briefly amidst the clouds and mist atop the mountain.

Ordinary people would not be able to detect it at all.

Rong has guarded Ping Mountain for decades; how could he not see it?

That's the aura of a male teacher!

Whoosh!

Rongbao suddenly stood up.

The movement was too hasty, and the tea table was overturned.

The teacup shattered, and the tea spilled all over Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou stopped folding his fan and immediately cursed:

"You old bastard, have you gone mad?"

Rongbao, however, seemed not to have heard at all.

He stared intently at the summit of Ping Mountain, his aged body trembling slightly.

Those once cloudy eyes regained the light that only a young person possesses.

"He's back..."

Chen Yulou was taken aback.

"Who?"

As soon as he uttered the words, he seemed to realize something and froze.

Rongbao's voice trembled, but it was absolutely certain.

"Grandpa's back!"

The ageless immortal has returned!
