Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 637: The Great Nine Nether Cave True Raft
The distant heavenly sound seemed far away yet near, vast and unfathomable, as if an immortal was preaching the scriptures and teachings in a mysterious Taoist realm. The rhythm of Taoism was emerging, and it touched the hearts of several people all the time.

Master Lingxi's eyes were in a trance, and he couldn't help but reveal a bit of yearning. He listened carefully, as if he was about to immerse himself in the mystery of the Tao.

A hazy light shone above his head, and a cluster of fresh branches and leaves could be vaguely seen poking out from it, eagerly entwining towards Lingxi Zhenren.

The sound of the Tao suddenly became real and clear, making people unconsciously become more and more immersed in it.

"Ao Sheng" tried his best to restrain his own energy, and completely ignored the Taoist rhyme of Tianyin. He also watched Lingxi Zhenren's situation with cold eyes.

After figuring out some of the ways of the strange sacred tree, Lin Xuanzhi would not attract its attention.

The mysterious great way of heavenly sound is close to people. What they hear, feel and feel are all in line with their own Taoism. Once they think of it in their hearts and take the initiative to listen and comprehend it, it will obviously attract the attention of the sacred tree.

However, this is what one seeks through diligent practice, meditation and enlightenment. Faced with the heavenly words that directly point to the "great desire" of the heart of Tao, even a true man who has broken through the mysterious gate of life and death will inevitably lose his self-control.

True Man Ziyun was only hiding in a body and could not control True Man Lingxi's mind. Lin Xuanzhi did not wait for him to intervene. He waved his sleeves and put True Man Lingxi into the Great Red Celestial Map. At the same time, the sound of a bell suddenly woke him up.

The hazy light paused slightly, and golden patterns appeared on the delicate leaves. After a few breaths, they retracted into darkness.

During this period, "Ao Sheng" just watched coldly without any action, until there was no more trouble, then he said calmly: "As expected of a fairy phoenix, you act so noble and sympathize with the weak."

"It is worthy of him to die after hearing the truth, so why not fulfill his wish!"

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said calmly, "Your request should not be easy to accomplish. In order to achieve your goal, General Xiaofeng also asked to leave a helper."

helper?

It seems that he is just a scapegoat to be put to good use!

"Ao Sheng" did not comment, but curled the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

It is quiet and peaceful here, as if it is isolated from the world, unaffected by cause and effect, and untainted by the mundane world. The faint sounds of heaven add a sense of mystery to this place.

The group had a smooth journey. Although there were many restrictions, surprisingly, there were basically no direct methods of killing.

Its main functions are basically concentrated on isolating the cause and effect of heaven, suppressing all kinds of heterodox teachings, protecting itself inside and outside, and severing the connection between time and space.

As we went deeper and deeper, we found that this set of restrictions began to include some extremely complicated and ancient techniques.

"Metamorphosis, yin and yang become fire, heaven and earth refine the body, great emptiness becomes spirit..."

Lin Xuanzhi lowered his head and followed carefully, his eyes shining with surprise.

"It is similar to what we speculated before. This world as a whole is basically providing support for the former Central Ghost Emperor to undergo some kind of deep transformation."

"But, now..."

"Success or failure?"

The biggest danger here is obviously the strange sacred tree. Even the person in Ao Sheng's body does not dare to reveal any unusual aura.

For all the True Immortals and True Lords, this heavenly sound that can enlighten themselves and explain the wonders of Tao is like a fragrant elixir that seems to allow people to ascend to heaven instantly.

But once you have the slightest active thought, you will be addicted to it and unable to extricate yourself.

If there is no external interference, the outcome is self-evident.

Moreover, it was obvious that Lingxi Zhenren was too small, so the power he summoned was not strong.

In front of us, a palace shaped like a coffin, made entirely of cast bronze and covered with ancient bird seals, insect patterns, and innate divine patterns is faintly visible.

In front of the palace, there were two boys about ten feet tall, each holding a coffin lantern and looking ahead with cold eyes.

The bright lights can illuminate the nine netherworlds, conveying a sense of eternal peace and sleep, dispelling evil spirits, eradicating filth, and shrouding the aura of transcendence and liberation, as if a pure land in the netherworld has appeared.

Lin Xuanzhi looked solemn, and asked carefully, as if he could not help himself: "What is the origin of that strange branch? What could be inside it?"

"You can't expect me to be like this prince, and touch something fatal without thinking."

"Ao Sheng" glanced slightly to the side, with a playful smile on his face, his eyes were dark and bright, and in the depths a human figure seemed to be stroking his beard lazily.

"You're so brave!"

"After all, you have the ability of Nirvana. Perhaps it gives you some confidence?"

Lin Xuanzhi lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "You don't want to take this risk yourself, do you?"

Nirvana?

Even if it is a true phoenix, no one would want to achieve Nirvana unless it is absolutely necessary.

Moreover, facing the methods of the top powers in the way of life and death, even if one has the ability of Nirvana, it is still unknown whether it will work in the end.

However, this guy was obviously confident in his abilities. He had not used any restraint techniques along the way and was not afraid at all that Lin Xuanzhi would refuse to resist.

Because of this, considering that this person was conceited, and seeing the destination, Lin Xuanzhi wanted to get some information from him directly.

These thoughts are not difficult to guess. "Ao Sheng" sneered, but nodded slightly.

"Young people are naturally curious. However, I am not a cold-blooded person, so it is not impossible for me to help you solve some of your problems."

Lin Xuanzhi listened attentively, but he couldn't help but sneer at what the man said.

Regardless of whether he is cold-blooded or not, he is definitely a shameless and insidious person.

Ao Sheng, this fool, probably has no idea what's going on.

A dignified Pure Yang Immortal is secretly plotting against a Yang God. No one can escape this.

The other party pointed at the ancient palace and said, "This is the place in the center of the underworld where the Ghost Emperor transformed. Inside is an ancient divine coffin - the Great Nine Netherworlds Clear and Bright Raft for Crossing the World. Open it and you can retire with honor."

"Of course, if you're interested, you can fight for the things inside." "Ao Sheng" had an unfathomable smile on his face, but his tone was invisibly cold. It was obvious that he would not be polite to anyone who dared to lay out his hand.

Lin Xuanzhi nodded solemnly: "The Central Ghost Emperor... a powerful being at the fourth level of decline..."

"When he arranged this place, in addition to his own top-level Taoism at the Four Decay Level, he was also able to mobilize the power of the Ghost Emperor. His Taoism can be called the best under the Taoist Lord, and he is even better than the immortals such as Kunlun Xuannv, Mi Luo's first disciple, Xuandu Zixia, etc."

"Ao Sheng" spoke in a low voice, which inexplicably contained a hint of sigh and admiration.

Then he changed the subject and said, "In addition to his profound Taoism, another important reliance is the tree you are curious about."

Seeing Lin Xuanzhi looking at him with curiosity, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Although he had a good background, he was a wild man after all, so it was easy for him to get hold of some secrets and rare treasures.

If we bring the Golden Phoenix, a descendant of the Sky Phoenix, along with us, I’m afraid it won’t be so peaceful.

"That tree is called the Wonderful Taixu Tree. It is said to be an acquired spiritual root derived from the Nanhua Patriarch after he attained enlightenment in a place in the void and chaos that had not yet taken shape. It has many wonderful uses, but because it was affected by the acquired plundering avenue, it has a bit of a vicious nature."

Having said this, "Ao Sheng" obviously had no intention of revealing any more secrets.

What is the secret of the Supreme Nine Netherworlds Clear and Bright Boat for Crossing the World? What is its purpose?
There was no explanation on how Taixu Miaoshu could defend or dodge.

He also kept silent about what he would encounter after opening the Tai Shang Jiuyou Tongming Treasure Raft.

Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said to "Ao Sheng" with a fearless attitude: "If you want people to risk their lives, you have to give them some benefits!"

"I don't ask for anything else. I just want a Pure Yang defensive secret treasure. Otherwise, you'd better kill me."

Along the way, Lin Xuanzhi never thought that the former Central Ghost Emperor was a kind and benevolent person.

Even if the two companies had some cooperation in the past, there is no guarantee that the situation would be the same now.

Moreover, even if this powerful person himself takes the incense and offerings into consideration, who can say that his arrangements are sophisticated enough and that he can identify the younger generations of his friends?
The arrangement is static, but people are alive. Lin Xuanzhi is not willing to take the risk.

As for saying that "Ao Sheng" is a miser who never spends a penny?
Lin Xuanzhi had no choice but to take another approach.

Although he really wanted to say that this little phoenix was "taking advantage of the situation", after "Ao Sheng" looked at Lin Xuan intently, he finally let the dim light in his eyes fall into the void in front of him.

A black jade tea bowl with a broken mouth slowly emerged, with dragon shadows circling and moving on its surface from time to time. The bowl seemed to contain the power of the world, and the sound of echoing waves was looming.

Lin Xuanzhi was silent upon seeing this, and once again spoke up for Ao Sheng.

No matter how you look at it, this thing is definitely a treasure of the dragon clan, and there is no intention of concealing the "taste" at all.

Using other people's bodies and taking their things as favors?

"The moral level of Fengdu is so..."

"Ao Sheng" ignored what Lin Xuanzhi was thinking and simply introduced: "This treasure is quite useful. It borrows the power of the four seas and eight wastelands, and can attack and defend at the same time. Even the magical power of Yi Shuai Zhenjun can block a blow. If it is an ordinary Chun Yang, it will take a while to break it. It should be a spiritual treasure in the Chi Ming Zu Long Palace."

Lin Xuanzhi raised his hand and checked to make sure there was no problem before leaving his own mark.

In this situation, ensuring his own safety was the most important thing, and he no longer cared about the opinions of Ao Sheng, his real master.

"Let's go."

In the halo of the palace lanterns surrounding the coffin, "Ao Sheng" took the lead and stepped in, followed closely by Lin Xuanzhi.

puff!

As if sensing the presence of outsiders, the flames in the palace lanterns held by the two boy statues flickered for a moment, vaguely capturing two figures in the center of the flames.

In an instant, Lin Xuanzhi felt that he had become extremely small, and there was a dark gray-white flame all around him. In a trance, it seemed that a peaceful pure land was right before his eyes, and the road to liberation was right under his feet.

My eyelids gradually became heavy, and I was about to fall into eternal sleep. The ups and downs of the sounds of chanting scriptures in my ears went straight into my mind, leading my soul and body to fall into nirvana.

In a flash, Lin Xuanzhi seized his remaining will and decisively used the flame Qi from the ground to stimulate the purple and golden, pure and mysterious Tushita Fire, which illuminated the purple palace and illuminated his entire body.

The feeling of warmth and freedom returns to oneself, and consciousness and body slowly awaken from eternal sleep and silence.

Fighting fire with fire has a significant effect, but Lin Xuanzhi did not relax at all. His eyes flashed with white light, and layers of white mist with a freezing cold light gathered outside his body into an ice coffin to seal himself.

Soon he opened his mouth and uttered a pleasant sound of piano. Outside the ice, the divine sound of the Four Symbols' Destruction transformed into invisible lightning and tore everything into pieces.

The darkness and silence remained before his eyes, and everything seemed like an illusion. Only the light from the palace lanterns above the coffin was dim, but there was no trace of the two people.

Lin Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw "Ao Sheng" standing there in a daze. A shadow was slowly shrinking behind him, and a cluster of thick branches and leaves could be vaguely seen shrinking above his head.

"I'm quite capable."

"Ao Sheng"'s tone was flat, but no matter how Lin Xuanzhi listened to it, he felt that there was a hint of relief in it.

Before he could reply, the two of them turned around and looked at the same time.

It turned out to be Master Yuanyi and General Zhong Wuyan who had seized some advantage!

Of course, there is also the Youdu Palace looming, inconspicuously huddled on General Zhong's shoulder.

"Hahaha, look who it is? Poor little dragon!"

General Zhong laughed with a playful tone, and suddenly the peaceful place became a little more noisy.

Zhenren Yuanyi's gaze wandered over the several people and finally fell heavily on Ao Sheng.
