Chapter 11 First Hearing of Rahu (Please add to your favorites, recommend, and invest!)

When Zhen Yuanzi got excited while speaking, he revealed supreme mystery, with auspicious light emanating from him and heavenly sounds lingering, fully demonstrating the profound and mysterious principles of this cultivation method.

Upon seeing this, the Three Pure Ones each revealed their primordial spirits and manifested their supernatural powers and abilities, engaging in mutual verification with Zhen Yuanzi's teachings on cultivation methods.

Above the three flowers of the primordial spirit of the Taiqing Daoist, a beam of immortal light emerged, which was the Taiqing Immortal Light. It was hazy, as if one were in a fog. Above his head was the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, from which streams of Xuanhuang Qi descended.

Above the three flowers of the Jade Purity Daoist's primordial spirit, a celestial light also emanated, which was the Jade Purity Celestial Light. Golden lantern tassels scattered, and a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi above his head radiated rays of light.

Above the three flowers of the Shangqing Daoist, there was also a beam of immortal light, which was the Shangqing Immortal Light. Within it, a Qingping Sword floated up and down, radiating countless sword energies.

Zhen Yuanzi also revealed his three primordial spirit flowers. Above the three flowers, the divine light of the innate Wu Earth evolved, and the Qi of the innate Jia Wood permeated the air. Above his head, the innate spiritual treasure Earth Book descended with rays of light.

Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate spiritual treasure Yin-Yang Lamp gave rise to streams of innate Yin-Yang true fire, its divine might as vast and boundless, extremely domineering.

In an instant, four cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm manifested their three primordial spirits, each wandering beyond the heavens, comprehending all things in the universe, and discerning the gate to the Great Dao, exuding all sorts of mysterious auras.

Among them, the three flowers of Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit are the basic cultivation methods, as well as the innate Wu Earth Dao and the innate Jia Wood Dao.

The Three Pure Ones all evolved into the Great Dao of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, yet each had its own distinct characteristics.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but think to himself, "Although the Three Pure Ones are the true descendants of Pangu and are born with Pangu's inheritance, their understanding of the Great Dao is different, so their individual philosophies are naturally different."

"In later generations, if the Three Pure Ones had not had different ideas, they would not have split up, which would have led to the final tribulation of the three tribulations of Heaven, Earth and Man, and the Four Saints breaking the Immortal Slaughter in the Investiture of the Gods."

"However, on the other hand, if the Three Pure Ones each followed the same path, how could they all have simultaneously reached the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal?"

"It should be understood that no two flowers in the world are exactly alike; at most, they are only similar."

Meanwhile, atop the mountain peak, Zhen Yuanzi and the Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged, motionless like stubborn rocks. Their bodies radiated light that soared into the sky, with golden flowers falling from the heavens, golden lotuses blooming from the earth, auspicious clouds gathering, and auspicious energy swirling in the air.

In the nearby medicinal field, Ganoderma lucidum danced and immortal roots played music.

The innate purple bamboo also swayed its branches and leaves, sensing the sound of the Great Dao and the wondrous methods of the Mysterious Sect.

It is like a realm of immortals and gods, a sacred place for sages.

The moon rises and the sun sets, fleeting like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

The sun rises in the east, and purple clouds fill the sky.

Suddenly one day, spiritual energy surged, auspicious clouds dissipated, and four innate divine lights scattered into the void, leaving only the echoing sound of heaven.

On the mountain peak, the celestial flowers disappeared, the golden lotus vanished, and the auspicious clouds dispersed.

The Taoist Taiqing opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them, and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, what is the art of refining essence into qi?"

Zhen Yuanzi also opened his eyes and replied, "The essence within the body, the energy of heaven and earth."

"What is the process of refining Qi into Spirit?" Daoist Taiqing continued to ask.

"The gods are the children of Qi," Zhen Yuanzi replied.

"What is the Refining of the Spirit and Returning to Emptiness?" the Taoist Taiqing continued to ask.

"Harmony between man and nature," Zhen Yuanzi replied.

"What is the meaning of refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao?" Daoist Taiqing continued to ask.

"The Way arises from the heart," Zhen Yuanzi replied.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "This method of cultivation is truly wondrous!"

The question-and-answer session between the two greatly benefited the Taoist Taiqing, who couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary nature of this cultivation method.

The same applies to Daoist Yuqing and Daoist Shangqing.

Zhen Yuanzi also witnessed the Pangu inheritance of the Three Pure Ones, which can be called: the Great Dao of Pangu Primordial Spirit.

In the Zixiao Palace above the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens in later generations, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke of the Hongjun Great Dao, not the Pangu Great Dao.

Throughout the entire primordial world, only the Three Pure Ones possess the inheritance of Pangu's primordial spirit, hence they are called: the true lineage of Pangu.

Besides these, perhaps only the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu clan, who have not yet been born, also possess the Pangu lineage.

The difference is that the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe were formed from the essence and blood of the great god Pangu, which was tainted with turbid energy. They possess the physical inheritance of Pangu, so the Wu tribe does not have a primordial spirit and does not cultivate the three flowers on the top of their heads.

………………

As the discussion concluded, Zhen Yuanzi bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones, rode on auspicious clouds, and left Buzhou Mountain.

Tens of thousands of years have passed since he traveled to the prehistoric world, and he doesn't know what changes have occurred in Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi then headed towards Wanshou Mountain.

Wanshou Mountain is located very far from Buzhou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi was not in a hurry to travel. He rode on auspicious clouds all the way. Whenever he encountered a sacred mountain or a place where living beings gathered, he would descend on auspicious clouds to preach and impart the methods of cultivation.

What puzzled Zhen Yuanzi was that, as soon as he left Buzhou Mountain, he went to a sacred mountain to preach and teach cultivation methods, but he did not receive the approval of the Heavenly Dao again, nor did he receive any heavenly merit or divine energy.

Fortunately, as more and more beings practice this method, Zhen Yuanzi can obtain a trace of merit and profound energy almost every moment.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi arrived at a place where living beings gathered, intending to send down auspicious clouds.

Suddenly, a sinister aura shot into the sky ahead, faintly blocking the road.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi frowned, and the cloud beneath his feet stopped.

Not far ahead, on a sacred mountain, black fiery clouds swirled, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Blood-red light rolled, black smoke billowed, and countless wronged souls and evil spirits wailed, devouring the essence, blood, and souls of all living beings, resembling a dark underworld.

It is clear that there are evil cultivators practicing evil techniques, devouring the essence, blood, and souls of living beings to cultivate.

All things in heaven and earth possess a spirit, and practitioners who cultivate evil methods are hindering the harmony with heaven.

Although the Heavenly Dao is not yet manifest, and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has not yet attained the Dao.

However, some highly skilled practitioners also have a strong aversion to heretical practitioners.

Even the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans are the same; whenever they encounter evil cultivators, they either drive them away or kill them outright.

Unfortunately, at this time, the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin were wreaking havoc, and the immeasurable calamity was unfolding. They had no time to pay attention to evil cultivators, and a group of great supernatural beings were in seclusion, allowing evil cultivators to gradually run rampant.

Zhen Yuanzi also did not want to get involved in such trivial matters, lest he be tainted by karma, so he decided to take a detour.

However, to his surprise, the malevolent energy in front of him gradually spread and moved towards him.

Immediately afterwards, the countless Yin energy in the air gathered and slowly disappeared, instead giving rise to bursts of light, and a voice faintly emanated from it.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi paused, a look of confusion on his face.

There were two Taoists who often said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!" in their past lives.

One of them is Shen Gongbao from the Investiture of the Gods, who is the one destined to face the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods. He often sends a group of disciples of the Jie Sect to the Investiture of the Gods list with just a "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

The other one is the Sage Zhunti, one of the two Western Saints. Because the Western land was drained of its innate Geng metal energy by the White Tiger, it became very barren, so he often went to the Eastern world to beg for alms.

First, there was a "Fellow Daoist, please wait," then it was said that this thing was destined for my Western world. In the end, it either converted the creature to the Western world or killed it and turned it into ashes.

Anyway, nothing good ever comes from encountering either of them.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi realized that even the human race had not yet reached the time of their birth, so there was no way to talk about Shen Gongbao.

As for Zhunti Daoist, one of the two Western Saints!

Even if he encountered Daoist Zhunti, Zhen Yuanzi, with his Daoist cultivation and supernatural powers, would not be afraid in the slightest.

Furthermore, Master Zhunti is a practitioner of asceticism, and certainly not some heretical cultivator.

Before long, a beam of light flew from afar and landed in front of Zhen Yuanzi, revealing a Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with his hair disheveled. A black wooden hairpin pierced through his hair bun, and his aura as a Great Luo Golden Immortal was clearly evident.

"This humble Daoist, Jiuyou, greets fellow Daoist."

"Just now, I saw that you, my fellow Daoist, were radiating a restrained divine light, as if a trace of meritorious and profound energy was emanating from you. That is why I called out to you." Daoist Jiuyou bowed with his hands clasped in a Daoist salute.

"May I ask what business you have with me, fellow Daoist?" Zhen Yuanzi not only did not relax, but instead became secretly on guard. If there was any unusual movement, he would immediately unleash the Innate Earth Divine Light and the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

Regardless, this Taoist priest is certainly not a virtuous person.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous. I merely wish to invite you to visit the western part of the prehistoric world and listen to the teachings of the Great Luo Golden Immortals with all of you," said Daoist Jiuyou with a smile.

Head to the western part of the primordial wilderness to listen to the teachings of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

At this time, the two Western Saints had not yet attained sainthood, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not yet attained sainthood.

Where did this idea of ​​going to the western part of the prehistoric world to listen to lectures on the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortals come from?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly remembered something.

In the myths and legends of the past, before Hongjun Daozu attained enlightenment, there was a great supernatural being in the primordial world named Luo Hou, also known as the Demon Ancestor. His cultivation and supernatural powers were unfathomable, almost on par with Hongjun Daozu.

Legend has it that the Demon Ancestor Rahu cultivated in seclusion in the western part of the prehistoric world, and had a group of disciples who would explain the Great Dao to him from time to time.

Could it be that he was referring to the Demon Ancestor Rahu?

This also explains why Zhen Yuanzi did not receive the approval of Heaven and the bestowal of merit and divine power when he left Buzhou Mountain to preach.

To put it bluntly, the Demon Ancestor Rahu or other great supernatural beings have already preached the Dao.

"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist, but I have important matters to attend to in the mountains and cannot accompany you to the western part of the prehistoric world to listen to the teachings of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi's feet flashed with light, and he tried to ride the cloud away.

As for going to the western wilderness to hear the Dao?

Regardless of whether it was truly the Demon Ancestor Rahu preaching or some other quasi-saint great supernatural being preaching, he did not intend to go to the western part of the prehistoric world. If he really encountered the Demon Ancestor Rahu, it would be troublesome.

However, just as Zhen Yuanzi was about to leave, Daoist Jiuyou blocked his way, still smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

"This time, the Demon Ancestor is explaining the path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, which includes the path of the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and even the path of the Quasi-Saint. It is an unparalleled opportunity."

Upon hearing the words "Demon Ancestor," Zhen Yuanzi realized it was indeed the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and immediately felt extremely unwell.

Let alone the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak Path or Quasi-Saint Path, he wouldn't even go for the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Zhen Yuanzi looked calmly at Jiuyou Daoist and said, "This humble Daoist is not fortunate enough to enjoy such an opportunity, so please do not force it, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Jiuyou's expression turned cold. He snorted and said, "Very well, since you insist on this, I will have no choice but to capture you first and hand you over to the Demon Ancestor for his personal disposal."

The next moment, Daoist Jiuyou summoned a blood-red divine banner and threw it into the void. It transformed into Yin energy and blood-red radiance, isolating the area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles from the outside world.

In an instant, the air was filled with swirling malevolent energy, bursts of blood-red light, and chilling winds. All of these swirled together, transforming into a black fiery cloud that faintly formed an array.

The black fire cloud summoned by the Nine Nether Daoist was formed from the Nine Nether Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire, which was specifically designed to devour the essence, blood, and soul of living beings.

Having just devoured the essence, blood, and souls of countless beings, his ferocity intensified, and black fiery clouds swept across the sky.

Zhen Yuanzi was trapped in the formation, and looking at the black fiery clouds in the sky, he was extremely angry.

This Daoist from the Nine Netherworlds must have devoured countless lives, their essence, blood, and souls, to condense such Yin Sha True Fire.

Of course, this Daoist Jiuyou was indeed extraordinary. He first joined the sect of Demon Ancestor Rahu and learned the method of refining the Nine Nether Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire.

Then, he spent tens of thousands of years slaughtering living beings everywhere, using the Nine Netherworld Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire to devour essence, blood, and souls, and finally refined it into a Nine Netherworld Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire Divine Banner, which can set up the Nine Netherworld Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire Grand Array.

This time, Demon Ancestor Rahu ordered his disciples to secretly invite powerful cultivators to the western part of the prehistoric world to explain the path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and the path of the Quasi-Saint, in order to plan their schemes against the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

However, to Jiuyou Daoren's surprise, Zhen Yuanzi refused outright, which made him somewhat angry and ashamed. He wanted to kill him and devour the essence and soul of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi remained silent and directly manifested a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud. Above the three flowers, a two-foot-tall emerald green jade palace lantern appeared, which was the innate spiritual treasure Yin-Yang Two Elements Lamp. It emitted yin-yang two-colored flames that shot into the sky and countless flames fell down.

All the black fiery clouds vanished into nothingness, and above their heads, the innate Earth Divine Light manifested, radiating an innate protective divine light.

Immediately afterward, another object emerged from the three flowers of the primordial spirit: a treasure mirror. The words "Heaven and Earth" were inscribed on it in innate divine script, and streaks of earthy yellow light occasionally fell from it, making it impervious to all things and resistant to all evil.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi pointed his divine hand at the Yin-Yang Two Elements Lamp, a primordial spiritual treasure among the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit. Instantly, the primordial Yin-Yang True Fire emerged and swirled in the air, causing the black fire cloud formed by the Nine Nether Yin Fiend Earth Extreme True Fire to melt away completely.

The Nine Nether Daoist's Nine Nether Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire Grand Array was almost completely melted away.

Upon seeing the true fire that Zhen Yuanzi had unleashed, Daoist Jiuyou was greatly surprised and horrified, for it was actually the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

This fire burns and incinerates everything; it is extremely domineering.

His Nine Nether Yin Fiend Earth Extreme True Fire Formation was most afraid of innate true fire and innate supreme yang divine power. He never expected that today he would not only encounter innate true fire, but also the extremely domineering innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

"Hmph, Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire!" Daoist Jiuyou snorted coldly, revealing a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud. From the three flowers of his primordial spirit, gusts of divine wind emerged, creating a truly astonishing sight.

This is the divine wind of the Nine Netherworlds, which can also be included in the innate numbers.

This Nine Netherworld Divine Wind is the innate divine power of the Nine Netherworld Daoist.

With a flick of his finger, Daoist Jiuyou unleashed the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit, and the Nine Nether Divine Wind surged forth, transforming into gusts of gale. It merged with the black fire clouds formed by the Nine Nether Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire. The fire borrowed the wind's momentum, and the wind amplified the fire's power, creating a stalemate with Zhen Yuanzi's Innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

In the sky spanning tens of thousands of miles, on one side, black fiery clouds gathered and the divine winds of the Nine Netherworlds raged, while on the other side, yin and yang flames soared into the sky, displaying divine might.

Not only did he possess innate divine wind, but he could also merge with the black fire cloud formed by the Nine Nether Yin Fiend Earth Extreme True Fire, with the fire borrowing the wind's power and the wind amplifying the fire's might.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned, and his primordial spirit moved. The Yin-Yang Two Elements Lamp, a primordial spiritual treasure, fell into the primordial two elements true fire, generating a dazzling light that greatly enhanced the power of the primordial two elements true fire.
