The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1005 Various Similarities
The "Taiping Guangmiao Huangtian Zhenfa" is one of the true teachings of the Ming family, which is specifically provided for non-core members of the clan to practice. Its specific origin is unknown, but there are rumors that it was created by a certain True Lord in ancient times who used the name "Taiping Dao".

This claim now seems questionable.

After all, its highest achievement is a first-grade divine power, and the lowest level to create a first-grade divine power is someone like the Demon Cloud Ancestor, who has one foot in the "Dao Lord" realm.

Would such a being remain so inconspicuous in history?
More likely, the so-called True Lord who created this technique is just an alias of some powerful figure.

The "Taiping Guangmiao Huangtianzhen Fa" is merely a tool for him to manipulate fate and make arrangements.

Hmm... Fairy Mingguang collected this cultivation manual perhaps to study the essence of "The Yellow Heaven is dead, the Azure Heaven shall rise," in order to get rid of "contamination"... How similar this is to Hongyue's experience!

Furthermore, based on my understanding of the "Yellow Heaven Wonderful Method," the phrase "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise" embodies the process and state of all things being revitalized after decay and destruction... This is exactly the same as the "Flower Goddess's" way of destruction and creation!
Moreover, in my guess, the intention behind the "Taiyi" Daojun's attempt to corrupt Xuantian is probably this... to recreate "Xuantian"?
While letting his thoughts wander, Zhao Chen copied the many books that Ming Hongyue had brought over. After doing this, he briefly described what had happened in the secret room, only omitting the parts of Mingguang Fairy's words that might lead to danger, as well as the other party's appearance.

After listening quietly, Ming Hongyue wasn't particularly interested in the vaguely revealed "secrets of heaven and earth." She only seemed to be thinking and asked, "You mean, that crystal can make this 'Earth Deity' of the Tianyong City lineage take action once?"

As soon as she spoke, Zhao Chen knew what she was planning. He was speechless for a moment, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head slightly and said, "Even if she becomes an 'Earthly Deity,' she should only be at the level of a 'Dharma Aspect' True Person. I'm afraid she won't be able to kill the King of Qin."

Although he might not be able to use the crystal "once" once it falls into his hands, he has many ways to "get" the power it contains for free.

But how difficult it is to kill a real person!

"I never thought I could kill my good uncle directly, but with this real ancient 'Earth Deity' taking action, it's possible that my good uncle's lover will be completely convinced of the 'Flower Goddess Sect's' trap, right?"

The "mistress" she was referring to was naturally Feng Qing, the supreme elder of the Feng family in Ningzhou.

In fact, "Little Black Cat" had been setting up the trap to lure her in for several months, but still hadn't urged Zhao Chen to complete the final step, which shows how difficult it is to scheme against a "Dongxuan" master at his peak.

The "Dongxuan" True Persons of Xuantian are almost all promoted from the third rank of divine abilities, with relatively complete inheritance and no major shortcomings. They are completely different from the demigods in the "other-dimensional world" of Taixiao Secret Realm.

The latter may be unpredictable and difficult to defend against in a certain ability, but their bodies are very fragile. They can even be killed by explosives after their "Stand" ability is sealed.

This is unimaginable in "Xuantian". You should know that ordinary explosives, no matter how powerful, cannot even be broken through by defensive supernatural powers without the support of the corresponding "laws of heaven and earth" or "the principles of their own".

This should be the difference between the cultivation system that is "self-centered" and the advancement method that "relies on external objects"... The latter is not that it does not want to be comprehensive, but the problem is that once it is "comprehensive", it means that it is closer to the source of that external object. Even if that thing does not "awaken", just a slight movement is enough for an extraordinary person to go crazy.

Shaking his head slightly to pull his thoughts back from their wanderings, Zhao Chen glanced at the excited Ming Hongyue and said, "You'd better think less about these kinds of things, otherwise it won't be good if your Uncle Wang uses some kind of supernatural power to sense it."

He knew that Ming Hongyue spoke so recklessly about real people because she had a "birdman" in her mind. But nothing is absolute. After learning from the lesson of the "demon" in the Taixiao Secret Realm, Zhao Chen was now much more cautious when plotting against enemies.

Upon hearing this, Ming Hongyue exaggeratedly covered her mouth, blinking her exceptionally beautiful eyes a few times, like a wronged little girl who had done something wrong. Seeing her deliberately acting cute and silly, Zhao Chen didn't continue to "admonish" her. After all, such a lively princess was rare, and once she returned to Tianchuan City, she would probably have to pretend to be sickly again.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "If you want to cultivate 'The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise,' do you still have enough spell slots left?"

The princess knew she had gotten a little carried away, and her earlier act of being coy was just an opportunity to adjust her mindset. Now she had returned to her usual "little fox" state and replied with a smile, "Among the prerequisite spells for 'The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise,' there are two that are consistent with 'The Yellow Heaven's Dharma Body.'"

The implication is that "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise" is the superior divine power of the "Yellow Heaven Dharma Body," and after covering the latter, it does not occupy many spell slots.

Zhao Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Even if Hongyue really has some connection with Fairy Mingguang, or even if it's part of her plan after her resurrection, he would definitely stand on Hongyue's side.

After all, in Zhao Chen's eyes, Hongyue was already his person. He could only help Hongyue take the benefits from Fairy Mingguang, and he would never allow Fairy Mingguang to be revived in Hongyue!

Of course, we'll need to find out the specifics of what happened to them later...

After chatting for a while, the two searched the other rooms in the inner courtyard of the villa, but their haul was not as big as before.

Although there were a few decent magical artifacts, they were only barely presentable and were probably collected by the Fairy Mingguang to reward her subordinates.

Instead, it was the map painted on a wall inside the back room that caught Zhao Chen and Ming Hongyue's attention.

Because this map shows the entirety of the lost continent of Dongli.

The label lists the names of many towns on the west coast and their local specialties, all of which Fairy Mingguang had personally visited.

The reason why only the west coast is marked is because in the era of Fairy Mingguang, the entire East Coast was about to fall, and only the west coast was still resisting.

"Dongli is so vast! Judging from the map's scale, it's almost comparable to the Great Xia!" Ming Hongyue couldn't help but sigh with a touch of regret. "It's a pity it's been completely taken over by demons and evil spirits..."

Looking at the map, Zhao Chen was thinking about something else entirely:

Judging from its outline alone, the continent of Donglizhou looks somewhat similar to the continent where the Kingdom of Luen is located in the Taixiao Secret Realm!
The area of ​​Dongli is several times larger...
