The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1004 The Wondrous Method of Yellow Heaven
"In my original idea, this Fairy Mingguang was probably used by an evil god from outside the realm to bring foreign 'pollution' into the 'fantasy world' belonging to Xuantian, eroding the roots of 'faith'... The subsequent shrouding of the entire Mirror Village, along with the 'mirror world' and 'other dimension' it connected to, in the 'mist of history' was only an emergency measure taken out of necessity..."

"Since the 'Fantasy World' can be corrupted once, it will definitely be corrupted a second time. Once this 'loophole' is exposed, there's no way to avoid it... That's why Daoist Taiyi came up with a different plan, intending to use some strange power originating from Xuantian, but resembling an alien evil god, to corrupt 'faith' first. However, his actions were exploited by certain beings, causing it to spiral out of control, which led to Taiyi being divided into many pieces..."

"Of course, the above was just my previous speculation, and now it seems that the truth is even more elusive!"

"Hmm... The source of the 'contamination' belief is most likely the result of the negotiation between the 'Five Primordial Beings' rather than the willful actions of 'Taiyi'. This means that the problem was probably already quite serious before the 'Mirror Village' incident."

"That's right... Not long after the Jia Shen Heavenly Change, there were foreign forces that tried to corrupt the 'Six Hours Bodhisattva'. In the many years that followed, it's impossible that the claws and fangs of the extraterrestrial evil gods did not take any other probing actions."

"Perhaps the fall of the Eastern Continent is related to this..."

"After all, during the Tang Dynasty, there was no 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen' (Great Array of the Celestial Stars) for protection. The cultists were supervised by the 'Di Zhi' (Earth Gods) appointed by local deities."

“Once the guardian deities of these ‘belief’ systems are destroyed, large-scale sacrifices will be unavoidable, and the power of evil gods can easily be projected in.”

"As for 'polluting' the Xuantian faith, the 'Five Primordial Beings' might not be able to do it themselves, so they took the opportunity to choose a 'candidate' who wanted to escape 'fate' to be the one to carry it out?"

"But why did the 'Flower Goddess's' apostle get involved... Did the 'Flower Goddess' foresee my and Fei Meng's arrival back then?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen was almost certain that "Flower Goddess," or some organization under "Flower Goddess," must be one of the entities behind the scenes controlling his and Fei Meng's fate.

"Furthermore, is this 'Fairy of Bright Light' actually born in Anyi?"
“Anyi… Yuwang Sect… a ‘great secret’ that even ‘ascending to the Xuan’ level can perish… there’s probably some connection between them, but unfortunately I dare not explore it.”

Zhao Chen sighed slightly, then recalled the "scientific name" of the "historical mystery" that Fairy Mingguang had just mentioned, and couldn't help but complain:

"'A body that is both alive and dead'? Does that mean there's also a 'pre-existing body in the false world and the true realm'?! This name really has the characteristics of a 'Star God'! Is the old man Star God perhaps surnamed Gao, or perhaps Jiang?"
"But thinking about it carefully, 'Star God's Conquest of Heaven' is clearly an example of cause and effect. Playing with 'cause and effect' in this way has a bit of the 'Three Truths' style."

Shaking his head, Zhao Chen stopped injecting magic power into the "fruit." The woman in yellow immediately vanished, and the blooming "flower" retracted, returning to its ordinary crystal form.

As for listening to the illusory image of Fairy Mingguang preach? It's clearly not appropriate in this separate residence; we should go back and study it slowly.

After collecting the crystal, Zhao Chen picked up the fragments of Fairy Mingguang's clothes that belonged to her in this secluded cultivation place.

This is at least a remnant of a magical artifact, making it an excellent vessel for containing supernatural powers and creating secret treasures.

After doing all this, Zhao Chen transformed into a beam of sword light, passed through the only mirror in the room, and returned to the main room of the inner courtyard of the former residence.

Since the account of "Fairy Mingguang's" photograph hadn't taken too long, Ming Hongyue was still wandering among the bookshelves, searching for any undamaged texts. Seeing this, Zhao Chen walked straight towards the large cauldron on the right.

According to Fairy Mingguang, this three-legged cauldron that was destroyed from the inside is called the "Bagua Cauldron," and its power is similar to that of a "supreme treasure" or "divine weapon."

Even if such a treasure is damaged, it will still be priceless.

Especially after the "Jade Book" appraised it, Zhao Chen knew that the main function of this cauldron was actually to "temper" the true body. It could help "Dongxuan" cultivators refine the "Laws of Heaven and Earth" into their true bodies. If they could then control it with their own "reasons" to form a domain, it would become a "Law Domain".

"Dongxuan" means to understand the various laws of Xuantian and eventually become the "master of laws". When Xuantian does not tolerate this, it is called "ascending to Xuan".

In comparison, supernatural powers are merely a superficial application of the laws of heaven and earth. Even those supernatural cultivators who have crossed the first step of the ladder can only indirectly comprehend the corresponding laws by relying on the "supernatural powers" they have painstakingly created.

Zhao Chen examined the "Bagua Cauldron" and began to consider how to repair it.

The most direct way is to restore that "Fairy of Bright Light" to her senses... This cauldron belongs to her, so she should have a way to repair it... Hmm, perhaps this is her pre-planned method, using treasures to lure later generations to save her from her tribulation?
This is actually not difficult. After all, her "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" is useless against the pollution of faith, which does not mean that my "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" is ineffective... In fact, this supernatural power, as my foundational method, has long been in the shape of the "Great Sun Star Raft". What constitutes "pollution" is entirely up to me to define!
Of course, the effect may not be so good now, but once I have "interwoven the laws and principles" and truly mastered this supernatural power, there will most likely be no problem...

However, as for when exactly to "rescue" her... I think we should wait until my authority in the "Old Starship" is further enhanced, and I can completely acquire "ownership" of her.

Moreover, there might be some connection between Red Moon and this Fairy Mingguang, which needs to be investigated first.

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen lifted the punctured cauldron with one hand and placed it into his own "Jade Pool Chess" secret realm.

At this moment, Ming Hongyue, who had looted all the books, walked over in high spirits, her face beaming with joy.

"This ancient 'Earth Deity' has collected many classics that our Ming family does not have, including the complete version of the Taiping Guangmiao Huangtian Zhenfa!"
"I only just realized that the 'Yellow Heaven Dharma Body' is not the highest achievement of the 'Yellow Heaven Wonderful Method,' but rather 'The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!'"
"This is a first-grade great divine power!"

At this point, Ming Hongyue's face turned bright red, and she appeared very excited.
Although she knew long ago that the main theme of the "Taiping Guangmiao Huangtian Zhenfa" was "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise", she had never been able to figure out how to achieve it. Unexpectedly, the technique was incomplete, and the most important first-grade divine power was hidden.

Once she masters this divine power, with Zhao Chen's assistance, her chances of getting rid of the "contamination" will be much higher.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise"... It was no coincidence after all! Zhao Chen sighed inwardly and looked at Ming Hongyue with pity.
