Chapter 91 Fire Cloud Cave (Please Subscribe)

Because of the Hongyun incident, Shangqing Daoist stayed at Wuzhuang Temple for more than ten years, spending his days expounding the Dao and discussing the Dao with Zhenyuanzi.

I only said goodbye and left a few days ago.

After Shangqing Daoist left, Zhen Yuanzi continued his seclusion to cultivate and perfect his Chaos Imperishable Body.

At the same time, they were preparing to set off for the Netherworld Blood Sea.

More than a hundred years have passed in this way.

During this time, news gradually spread that Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng, three quasi-saints of the demon race, had besieged and killed Hong Yun.

All the cultivators of the primordial world were shocked. Several quasi-saints and great supernatural beings were actually fighting to the death, which was extremely terrifying.

Furthermore, the whereabouts of the Primordial Purple Qi has been the subject of much discussion.

Many powerful beings suspect that the Primordial Purple Qi has been stolen by Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng.

At this moment, a message came from the Heavenly Court: Hongyun had not yet perished, but had been taken back to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain by Zhen Yuanzi.

For a time, the gazes of many powerful cultivators fell upon the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Among them were those who coveted the Primordial Purple Qi, intending to seize it in order to obtain the opportunity for a sainthood.

However, at this time another piece of news came out: when the Western Zhunti Daoist was besieging Hongyun, he had tried to stop Zhen Yuanzi from going to his rescue.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi, with his indestructible Chaos Body, severely injured Zhunti Daoist, even damaging his Dao foundation.

At this moment, the group of powerful beings couldn't help but think of what the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had once said: those who prove the Dao through force are the best, and Zhen Yuanzi's Chaos Undying Body is precisely the method of proving the Dao through force.

This made some powerful beings who intended to seize the Primordial Purple Qi feel a chill in their hearts, and they could only suppress their greed and dare not try the power of the Undying Chaos Body.

That Western Taoist Zhunti is a future sage, possessing great Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers.

Yet it still couldn't withstand Zhen Yuanzi's Chaos Undying Body, demonstrating its immense divine power.

In addition, several other events also occurred in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

First, Kunpeng, who was also one of the Great Sages of the Demon Clan, became the Demon Master in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, teaching and indoctrinating the demons and imparting demon script.

At the same time, Xihe gave birth to ten golden crow princes.

These ten Golden Crow Princes were born from the union of the sun and the moon, and were gestated on the sun and stars for tens of thousands of years.

Now they have finally hatched and transformed into ten golden crows, their bodies burning with extremely domineering flames, which are the true fire of the sun, and they are born with great supernatural powers to protect them.

These ten Golden Crow Princes are still young and their cultivation is not high. They cannot control the true fire of the sun on their bodies, and they often cause raging fires wherever they go.

Left with no other choice, Dijun could only settle them in the eastern land of Fusang, where he and Taiyi personally supervised them to prevent the ten Golden Crow Princes from running around and causing trouble.

On this day, a divine light suddenly shot out from the orchard of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, spreading out in the air and transforming into an earth-yellow light curtain, revealing wisps of the aura of laws.

The next moment, the innate earth energy of Longevity Mountain gathered and surged into the earth-yellow light screen.

As time went by, the primordial earth energy that gathered there increased and gradually revealed a Taoist priest, dressed in an earth-yellow Taoist robe, with yellow hair and beard, resembling an earth-yellow cloud.

"How do you feel, fellow Daoist?"

As the sound rang out, Zhen Yuanzi stepped into the orchard, looked at Hongyun, whose appearance had changed drastically, and smiled.

"Hongyun thanks you for saving me, fellow Daoist!" Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun showed gratitude and bowed deeply to him, saying, "If it weren't for your life-risking rescue, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid Hongyun would have already been annihilated and my true spirit would have vanished."

"Fellow Daoist, given our friendship, there's no need for such a grand gesture!" Zhen Yuanzi quickly stepped forward to help Hongyun up, saying, "Fellow Daoist, your soul has only just recovered somewhat, so let's sit down first."

The two then went to a palace and took their seats.

Zhen Yuanzi then recounted the story of the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and asked Hongyun, "Now that the whereabouts of the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd are unknown, what are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know what to do right now!" Hongyun gave a bitter smile, a look of bewilderment on his face.

Innate spiritual treasures and objects related to the soul are extremely rare.

He knows it better than anyone.

However, Hongyun was somewhat unwilling to switch to cultivating the innate Earth element.

The profound Taoist scriptures he had comprehended over millions of years were all about to vanish into nothingness; how could he easily accept that?

Zhen Yuanzi felt helpless about this.

Even if it were him, he would probably find it just as difficult to make a decision.

After a moment of silence, Hongyun suddenly said to Zhen Yuanzi, "This humble Daoist intends to return to Huoyun Cave, but I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to accompany me!"

Hongyun has almost completely lost his cultivation and his soul has not yet recovered.

If he were to travel on his own, it would take him an unknown amount of time to return to Fire Cloud Cave.

Moreover, the Fire Cloud Cave is not located on the primordial land, but in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens.

At this point, Hongyun's condition made it impossible for her to go alone.

Fire Cloud Cave!

"Fellow Daoist, are you planning to return to the Fire Cloud Cave for secluded cultivation?" Zhen Yuanzi frowned, revealing a hint of worry.

Although Huoyun Cave is the top of the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands in the prehistoric world, ranking above Wanshou Mountain, it is the most top-tier grotto-heaven and blessed land in the prehistoric world.

However, Hongyun did not have a primordial spiritual treasure to suppress his fortune, and after living there for countless years, his own fortune had long been diminished.

Now is the time when one must not return to Huoyun Cave for secluded cultivation.

Furthermore, Fire Cloud Cave is the place where the three future emperors of the human race will live in seclusion and cultivate.

Even a sage could not possess it.

"What are you thinking, fellow Daoist?"

"Given my current condition, how dare I return to the Fire Cloud Cave for secluded cultivation!" Hongyun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I have some items stored in the Fire Cloud Cave, and I intend to retrieve some of them this time."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Over millions of years of cultivation, besides the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, a magical artifact for achieving enlightenment, Hongyun also collected some spiritual roots, immortal herbs, and spiritual objects.

I plan to go back and retrieve some to aid my cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Hongyun expressed his gratitude, then turned to Zhen Yuanzi again and said, "If you have nothing else to do, fellow Daoist, could you please come over as soon as possible?"

Hearing Hongyun's words, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked Hongyun, "Fellow Daoist's Fire Cloud Cave is a blessed land, protected by innate formations. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I plan to return to seclusion and cultivate diligently as soon as possible. I will not leave seclusion until I reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm." Hongyun revealed a resolute look. Only by recovering to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm could he have any power to protect himself.

As for the Quasi-Saint realm!

He still doesn't know what to choose!

"That's fine then." Zhen Yuanzi nodded, summoned Qingfeng Mingyue and Peony Fairy and gave them a few instructions. Then he took Hongyun and left Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, heading towards the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, and arrived outside Huoyun Cave.

This place is located in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the primordial land, close to the chaotic world, surrounded by innate gales, and protected by innate formations.

If one does not know the method of entering the formation, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not be able to find the location of the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!" Hongyun barely managed to channel a wisp of his magical power into the innate formation, revealing a passage that led directly into the Fire Cloud Cave.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun stepped into the Fire Cloud Cave.

The cave was vast, forming its own world. Clouds rose from eight directions, mist rose from all sides, tall and elegant cypresses and gnarled pines grew, Furong Peak soared like a dragon, Zigai Ridge stood majestically, and all kinds of herbs exuded fragrance. Smoke from the incense burner and the cries of cranes echoed through the air.

Looking around, one sees exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, with innate spiritual energy forming clouds, even more abundant than that of Longevity Mountain.

The most amazing thing is that Huoyun Cave is actually faintly isolated from the primordial land and is not connected to the primordial earth veins.

"Huh!" Looking at the scenery before him, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly exclaimed softly, "The innate spiritual energy here seems different; it's subtly more refined!"

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, Hongyun finally smiled and said, "My Huoyun Cave is different from your Wanshou Mountain, and cannot be connected to the primordial earth veins."

"Therefore, the innate spiritual energy in this cave is all derived from the clouds and mist in the void, and thus it has a trace of the characteristics of innate pure energy, making it appear very pure and ethereal."

Innate pure energy!

"I see!" Zhen Yuanzi looked enlightened. No wonder Fire Cloud Cave became the place where the Three Sovereigns secluded themselves for cultivation.

It truly is a case of "living in the Fire Cloud Cave, untouched by right and wrong."

This alone makes it surpass all other blessed lands and grotto-heavens.

The only thing that made him feel sorry was that, just as Hongyun had said before, Fire Cloud Cave did not have any innate spiritual roots, or even any innate spiritual objects.

The ranking of it as the top of the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands in the primordial world seems somewhat undeserved.

Not to mention comparing it to Wanshou Mountain or Chunyang Cave, it is even inferior to Yun Zhongzi's Zhongnan Mountain Jade Pillar Cave.

"Fellow Daoist's Fire Cloud Cave is the foremost of the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands of the primordial world, how could it not even have a single innate spiritual root!" Zhen Yuanzi looked around Fire Cloud Cave and couldn't help but ask Hongyun curiously.

Zhen Yuanzi had long been curious about this, but he had never had the chance to ask before.

"I am not clear about this matter either." Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Hongyun shook his head. In any case, over the course of hundreds of millions of years, no innate spiritual objects have been born in Huoyun Cave, let alone innate spiritual roots.

"Fellow Daoist, if you are interested in this, you may wish to take a stroll around," Hongyun said at this moment.
