Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 681 Fishing Rock in the East China Sea

In such a short time, it was naturally impossible for the Daoist Lord of Salvation to fully comprehend the Dao Fruits of his past life, but Lin Xuanzhi would focus on comprehending the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"In this way, you can be almost certain of success on your journey."

The difficulty of proving one's primordial spirit lies in breaking through the barrier between life and death, but the arrival of external calamities at the time of breaking through will undoubtedly have a great impact.

Li Qingwei's opportunity to achieve the Primordial Spirit was rare, occurring more than two hundred years earlier than Lin Xuanzhi had originally predicted. Naturally, he did not want his friend to fail at the last hurdle and be forced to reincarnate.

Palace Master Lou Zishan is still alive, but in order to seek her primordial spirit, she has handed over the position of Palace Master to Qingwei. Now she is naturally in the palace to protect the Dharma, in order to prevent those who are spying from turning against her at any time.

The path of the primordial spirit is explored in various ways. Some people meditate in stillness to comprehend it, breaking down barriers and overcoming obstacles. Others seek truth in action, transcending life and death to cultivate a body that can live a long and prosperous life.

Qingwei is clearly the first type, achieving enlightenment through stillness, which shows that she has a special kind of good fortune.

Now, all that remains is to overcome the current obstacle on the path, and then one can enjoy immortality and continue the fortune of Cuiwei Palace.

Lin Xuanzhi was well aware of Xu Xuan's competence, so once the benefits were given, there was no need for him to give detailed instructions.

Of course, he himself will still keep an eye on Cuiwei Palace, just in case.

After all, he came from the capital, and some people knew that very well. Although they might not care about his past relationship with Qingwei, it wasn't impossible for any of them to make things difficult for him.

Soon after, the cave fell silent again. Xu Xuan stared at the direction where Lin Xuanzhi had disappeared for a long time, and finally laughed.

The Golden Banner Spirit watched all this and felt that Xu Xuan's Dao heart had become somewhat distorted after being tormented by this Daoist for so many years. Although it did not understand, it still expressed its respect.

"Since you've agreed, let's pack up and set off."

Having obtained the relic, Qibao Jinzhuang didn't mind urging Xu Xuan, that ox-horse, to get to work faster.

Although Xu Xuan was avoiding the old demon's gaze, he certainly wouldn't hide in his hole like a rat and never come out.

His appearance, aura, and destiny have all changed drastically. Without activating his original aura, the Heavenly Demon Lord would not be able to detect him unless he is face to face.

Staring at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Divine Power in his palm, Xu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in alarm, "I can sense that this Six Paths of Reincarnation Divine Power, at best, can knock a Second Calamity True Person down to the mortal realm, and at worst, directly reincarnate... Even a Yang God expert would likely have their karmic burdens deepened and their own tribulation energy activated if they were to be tainted by it..."

"He must have gained a great deal from the events in the underworld back then!"

Jin Zhuang Yuan Ling's tone was also complex: "With the opening of the Nine Netherworlds and the division of the Netherworld, the birth of a Dao Lord who saves from suffering has had a tremendous impact. Now, the Precious Edict of Saving from Suffering has gradually spread throughout the worlds, and this lord's achievements in the Dao are known to more people. He has also gained a firm foothold among the Dao Lords."

"Although the laws of the underworld are now more stringent, according to the holy monk, the Western Ghost Emperor has made great progress in his cultivation and has been promoted to the position of the Central Emperor. The Western position is temporarily held by the Great Sage Cangming under the Great Dao Lord, and Emperor Su Xuanchen seems to also hold the position of the Great Judge of Fengdu. Other underworld officials have also been greatly mobilized."

The Buddhist community naturally pays close attention to the movements in the underworld and the netherworld. Even though the Pure Land of Boundless Freedom is relatively detached, the monks there inevitably pay some attention to it.

More importantly, the Underworld's actions were significant, with an impact that could affect both the Yin and Yang realms. At least many attempts to smuggle secret techniques and supernatural powers between the Yin and Yang realms were severely cracked down on.

This includes, but is not limited to, Buddhism, demons, unorthodox sects, even Taoism, as well as numerous lineages of immortals and gods.

After all, the Emperor of Fengdu doesn't care whose disciple you are; if you disrupt the order of the underworld, you will be punished.

Even the act of reincarnation itself has been greatly affected invisibly, such as increased backlash from heaven and earth, and aggravated mysteries of the womb.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan's eyes lit up: "The Daoist sect has made such a big move; they must have gained many unknown benefits."

Jin Zhuang Yuanling sighed softly, "Who knows? Anyway, it's said that the Pure Land of Void has been in a semi-secluded state for over fifty years." "That True Person keeps calling his grand-disciple 'grand-disciple,' why don't you just go and ask him?"

Xu Xuan's face darkened, and he immediately packed his bags and left the cave.

…………

Lin Xuanzhi stood amidst the clouds and looked down at the sea below, where numerous sea eyes and whirlpools crisscrossed to form a natural array. He could vaguely see the boundless tidal power surging and washing over a miniature landmass.

Despite the heavy, surging tides of the sea, that small piece of land remained perfectly still.

"Diao'ao Rock in the East China Sea, a natural hidden paradise!"

Lin Xuanzhi's eyes could see through the walls and the workings of the formation and illusion created by the power of heaven and earth slowly receded, revealing the true landscape within.

This secret realm is different from the grotto heaven. It is part of the vast world, but it occupies a unique position and has different environment and laws.

The scenery on Diao'ao Rock was beautiful, like a fairyland. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, filled with auspicious energy, and often received sweet rain. The island was full of spiritual energy. The rocks on the island were unique, and there were special landscapes such as the Ganoderma lucidum garden. Rare immortal herbs such as five-colored Ganoderma lucidum also grew there.

In the center stands a strange mountain range that resembles a celestial being soaring through the clouds, with a human figure vaguely visible. Its ancient and rustic aura, while naturally tranquil, subtly contains a hint of sharpness.

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration: "Truly a superb feng shui treasure land!"

"Even without using it to undergo tribulation, it is enough to serve as the foundation for a separate residence in Xuandu."

"As expected of the abbot who specially calculated this auspicious place for me to transcend tribulation!"

Overjoyed, Lin Xuanzhi transformed into a beam of moonlight and plunged into the intricate array of sea eyes. In an instant, his illusory body felt as if it were about to be shattered into Qi.

Because of the sea eye, the formation here can be considered to coexist with the four seas. It borrows the power of heaven and earth, operates the power of tides and water elements, and possesses vast power. Even the Yang God, who can gather and disperse at will, would probably be greatly affected here.

Breaking the formation is not difficult, but losing its natural essence will undoubtedly greatly reduce its power. Even if it repairs itself, it will be difficult to achieve such a level unless the formation is drastically upgraded and attempted to be elevated to the level of a pure yang immortal formation.

The cost of a pure Yang-level mountain-protecting immortal array would be far higher.

Lin Xuanzhi's mind raced, his transformation into pure qi that swirled around the Wangshu Qingyue Pearl, using the power of the tides to constantly shift and turn, weaving through gaps, much like following a map to find a way out of the formation's "last chance."

Having expended considerable effort and narrowly escaped countless crushing and eroding attacks from the formation, Lin Xuanzhi finally felt a sense of relief and entered the Fishing Rock.

Bright and radiant, brimming with spiritual energy, and imbued with celestial mist, this blessed land, resembling a fairyland on earth, truly captivated the eye. Compared to viewing it from afar, it undoubtedly felt more real.

"This place has been visited or owned by people before..."

Lin Xuanzhi used his divine sense to investigate carefully, and after a moment, he raised an eyebrow, but he was not particularly surprised.

After all these years, how could this place have remained undiscovered?

"Judging from the many subtle traces, it is clear that no one has been here for a very long time."

With a glint of light in his eyes, Lin Xuanzhi gazed fixedly at the mountain peaks that seemed to float among the clouds, his eyes revealing a mixture of admiration and regret.
