Bone Taoist

Chapter 667: Secret Treasure of Hedao
The secret treasures of Hedao are elusive and hard to find, floating in the world of the ten continents like invisible clouds.

That secret treasure cannot be perceived by the naked eye. It can only be sensed when the soul leaves the body and travels. That place is the spiritual realm of the ten continents.

The Nine Generations Burial Coffin is where the powerful men of the Corpse Demon Sect from generation to generation sat in meditation. It is said that there is a piece of peaceful and eternal spiritual soil inside where their remains are buried.

Ye Zang followed the head of the tomb and kept exploring, until he reached the deepest part of the Corpse Demon Gate.

There was silence all around, no disciples could be seen, and the dark veins of the ground looked like a coiled dragon.

In the distance, Ye Zang seemed to see a huge coffin lying on the dark soil.

The black coffin was as big as a mountain and looked shocking.

"Such a powerful spiritual pressure. There must be more than one world lurking in that coffin." Ye Zang's eyes sank slightly as he looked at the majestic and magnificent Nine Generations Burial Coffin, feeling slightly shocked.

The tomb master brought Ye Zang and stopped a hundred feet away from the ninth generation burial coffin. Looking up, the coffin was as huge as the sky, giving a strong sense of oppression. On the black coffin, there were intricate and exquisite ancient prohibitions engraved.

"Brother Ye, you can just practice enlightenment here." said the abbot of the tomb.

Within a hundred feet of the Nine-Life Burial Coffin, there are many stone cushions, and in the past many Taoists practiced and gained enlightenment here.

But now it is empty, with only the tomb's chief and Ye Zang.

Ye Zang then sat down cross-legged. Before his spiritual consciousness could be released, he felt a strong pulling sensation inside the coffin. The secret treasure of Hedao inside the Ninth Generation Burial Coffin seemed to want to swallow up Ye Zang's soul. Ye Zang kept his mind steady and was not affected.

"I heard that the Taoists from Beixuanzhou often invade and stir up unrest. What is the current situation of the war in the border areas?" Ye Zang asked.

On the surface, the ten major sects still have a close relationship, but secretly, most of them are planning their retreat.

Ye Zang knew that during the chaos of war in the previous life, except for the great monster in Wanduan Mountain and Shenyin Valley, other sects had already laid out their plans in other continents.

Hearing this, the eyes of the head of the tomb gradually turned cold, and he concentrated and said: "Those Beixuan Taoists are just testing now. They are very clear about the gap in strength between Beixuan Continent and Tianming Continent. With our Corpse Demon Sect guarding the border, they can't attack at all."

In this world, there are some people who know that some things cannot be done, but they still persevere in doing them. Beixuan Taoist is one of such people.

Therefore, when the two continents of Dongsheng and Tianming were on the verge of a war in the previous life, they found an opportunity, jumped across the border, and almost went straight into the depths of Tianming Continent, completely breaking the border formation restrictions.

But that’s a story for later. Before the catastrophe happened, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for Taoist Beixuan to attack.

"Brother Ye, please close your eyes and rest, and sense the secret treasures of the Hedao in the burial coffin. If you can enter it, you will definitely benefit a lot." The head of the tomb said with his hands covering his chest.

The secret treasure of Hedao in the burial coffin is equivalent to a small illusory world of Taixu. Traveling in it can condense the three souls and seven spirits and enhance the power of the primordial spirit.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Dao." Ye Zang bowed.

"Brother Ye, please practice in seclusion here with peace of mind. I will take my leave first. There are reports of war on the border." The head of the tomb nodded in response.

He took out a jade token, glanced at it a few times, and then said goodbye to Ye Zang.

Deep in the vast dark veins, Ye Zang was the only one left.

The huge nine-generation burial coffin was lying in the distance. The space around the coffin was distorted, like a rushing river. Just by taking a few glances, Ye Zang felt as if his mind had fallen into it.

Ye Zang sat cross-legged on the cushion, his eyes slowly closed, and he began to relax his mind.

Half an incense stick later, Ye Zang's spiritual platform had become very clear and empty.

He formed a magic seal with one hand, and the twelve-petal lotus seat circled around his Taoist body. The Dao patterns on the lotus seat glowed with a cool glow, like layers of silver threads dancing in the air, magnificent and beautiful.

"The dark heart returns to Taixu, and the heaven and earth share the same life..."

Ye Zang silently recited the Demon Lord's "Sun and Moon Out-of-Body Method" of leaving the body.

In an instant, Ye Zang's vast spiritual consciousness spread out like ripples on the sea, instantly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of feet in radius.

Within his spiritual perception, everything in the world slowed down, including time and space, which gradually tended to be forbidden. Noisy sounds continued to ring in his ears.
They were disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect. They were carrying coffins and flying towards the northern border.

Taoist Beixuan would gather monks every now and then to stir up unrest on the spiritual land, intending to break through the large formation guarding the border, but the Corpse Demon Sect would not give them a chance.

The terrible aura of corpses was everywhere in the border area. In Ye Zang's vague consciousness, screams were heard one after another, blood gathered into rivers, and a suffocating murderous aura was in the air.

Whoosh!
The next second, Ye Zang's soul had already left his body.

With a thought, Ye Zang's soul flew thousands of miles away in an instant, hovering above the border and overlooking the battlefield.

"These Northern Xuan Taoists, who claim to be of the righteous lineage, are invading the border areas at such a cost. Aren't they just asking for slaughter and causing chaos to the people?"

Ye Zang frowned, wondering what they were planning to do. Did they have other plans?
At a glance, at the other end of the border, in Beixuanzhou, Ye Zang could see large camps rising one after another. They seemed determined to break through the border guarded by the Corpse Demon Sect.

The ten major sects in the north are Daotian Island, Wuji Palace, Taiyuan Divine Sect and Shisha Sect, but they chose the hardest stone to break through.

"Could it be that he did it on purpose?" Ye Zang thought casually.

The soul wandered above the foggy sky. With Ye Zang's current spiritual power and the perfection of the He Dao pattern, he was already capable of traveling within a radius of 100,000 miles.

To advance to the realm of harmony with the Dao, all you need is an opportunity.

It only takes a few words to allow the spiritual consciousness to roam in the illusory world of Taixu and reach the state of unity between man and nature. However, this bottleneck has stumped countless cultivators who have achieved perfect Nascent Soul stage in the ten continents.

Ye Zang's consciousness radiated like ripples in the sea. His soul rode on the breeze and traveled at high speed for half an hour, but did not find any trace of the illusory world of Taixu.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zang had no choice but to retreat back from the sky curtain.

Then, Ye Zang looked at the Nine Generations Burial Coffin.

He could sense the secret treasure of the Hedao contained inside, a world constructed by the divine consciousness of a realm.

The soul floated and flew towards the huge coffin cautiously.

The closer you get to that place, the stronger the pressure from the spiritual consciousness of the world becomes.

After getting closer than ten feet, Ye Zang felt as if his soul was about to be crushed. For this short distance of a hundred feet, it took Ye Zang's soul half an hour to reach the Nine Lives Burial Coffin.

There was a faint crack in the coffin.

Chaos energy was rippling, constantly bubbling out like spiritual spring water. The space inside the tomb was very distorted. Faintly, Ye Zang could see a piece of black spiritual soil. On that spiritual soil, there were many snow-white bones, filled with creepy corpse energy.

Ye Zang's soul looked at it carefully.

“If a living person’s body were to reach this place, I’m afraid it would be completely drained of its vitality.”

Ye Zang thought in horror, fortunately only his spirit arrived and not his physical body.

This should be the place used by the disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect to refine corpses.

For Ye Zang and other non-sectarian monks, the most valuable thing in the burial coffin is the secret treasure of Hedao, and all other places are forbidden areas.

“I can clearly sense that it is all around me, but why can’t I see the direction of the entrance?” Ye Zang’s soul ran aimlessly in the Nine Life Burial Coffin.

The tomb is very large, with a radius of ten thousand miles. The space is twisted and folded, as if time has slowed down. It is very magical.

Bones are everywhere.

But the secret treasure of Hedao could not be seen, but Ye Zang could sense that it seemed to be everywhere, but he could not find the entrance.

Ye Zang frowned, he immediately stopped searching, made a magic seal, and activated the Essence Array Pattern and the Great Circulation Array Pattern engraved on his divine veins.

boom!
Ye Zang's chaotic sea of ​​consciousness was instantly like being hit by a bell, and a huge roar sounded.

The huge waves in the sea of ​​consciousness continued to surge, and the terrifying power of spiritual consciousness spread out. Under Ye Zang's urging, every inch of spiritual soil was carefully observed.

"Where is the entrance..."

Ye Zang is very patient.

This is the case with the Hedao secret treasures, extremely difficult to find, and very unstable. Even the Hedao secret treasures controlled by the Corpse Evil Sect are like this.

In his previous life, Ye Zang had only entered the secret treasure of Hedao once. The secret treasure of this realm is extremely rare. The strange world composed of spiritual consciousness is hidden in the chaotic void all year round.

Ye Zang's soul flew at an extremely fast speed, roaming freely in the world inside the tomb. The soul's speed was so fast that it could travel thousands of miles away in a breath. Because of its fast speed, the surrounding world became a little blurry.

"We can't go on like this. We'll just be wandering around aimlessly." Ye Zang frowned and stopped.

A secret treasure of Hedao is so hard to find, let alone the illusory world of Taixu.

After Ye Zang's Nascent Soul was perfected in his previous life, he spent more than 120 years practicing all kinds of spiritual Taoist arts. It took him a lot of effort before he finally found the Taixu realm that countless Taoists had dreamed of for a long time with his Yuanshen.

Ye Zang calmed down and then sat cross-legged on the twelve-petal lotus seat.

The Hedao patterns on the seat glowed brightly, rippling with magical power.

"The great void is formless, the essence of Qi, its gathering and dispersion are the guest forms of change..."

Ye Zang continued to recite the scriptures silently.

As his hand seals continued to change, Ye Zang's spirit suddenly became sharper.

This is a kind of Taoist magic recorded in the Demon Lord's "Sun and Moon Out-of-Body Art", which can transform the original spirit into all things and sweep across the four directions.

This method can be regarded as a very superficial magical power in Taoist books.

However, with Ye Zang's current level of cultivation, it is still very difficult to perform.

His spiritual consciousness was strong enough, but his three souls and seven spirits had not yet reached the state of unity between man and nature.

Back then, when he was on the ancient treasure island in the North Sea, he disregarded the consequences and risked his life to perform the Hedao Slash, injuring the soul of a Hedao elder from the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Ye Zang had already mastered the He Dao method by heart. He didn't even need to look up Taoist books, because Ye Zang had stayed in the He Dao realm for hundreds of years in his previous life, and until his death, he was still at the pinnacle of the He Dao realm.

woohoo-

As Ye Zang continued to make hand seals, his soul became sharper, but there was also a tingling sensation!
Because Ye Zang's soul was not perfect, it was very inappropriate to forcibly display the magical power of Hedao. However, in order to find the secret treasure of Hedao as soon as possible, he had no choice but to use this method.

"With just the usual practice of enlightenment, it will take a long time to find the secret treasure of the Dao. I don't have much time to waste here." Ye Zang thought to himself.

In the past, the monks who came here for retreat would spend at least four to five years.

Ye Zang didn't want to wait that long, he wanted to enter the Hedao secret treasure as quickly as possible!
As he spoke, Ye Zang's soul became sharper and sharper, and it turned into a ray of stunning light. That was the method of the Wanxiang Gangfeng. Ye Zang's soul was like a Gangfeng, cutting through the sky!
puff-

Ye Zang's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled continuously.

Because he has not yet achieved the unity of nature and man, and his three souls and seven spirits are not complete, the backlash would be very severe if he forcibly displayed his supernatural powers.

He hurriedly practiced the Phoenix Nirvana Technique to recover from his physical injuries.

At the same time, the sky above the coffin was slashed by Ye Zang's Hedao Gangfeng, and it seemed that an invisible distorted void appeared.

It is so illusory that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. Only cultivators with strong spiritual awareness can sense it.

"This is also a method, forcing one's way in."

Ye Zang thought to himself.

The secret treasures of the Hedao here cannot escape from the tomb and coffin world.

Ye Zang had no intention of playing the game of hiding with it, so he directly used his Hedao magical power to strike out, creating a crack in its entrance.

As you hesitate, the crack will heal.

Ye Zang seized the opportunity and his mind moved. His soul turned into a stunning light and instantly sank into the place. After a few breaths, the void crack that contained the secret treasure of He Dao disappeared again.

……

woohoo-

The gentle wind of spiritual consciousness wrapped Ye Zang's soul and swirled it around in the vast white world.

It has been a long time since I had this feeling. It was as if my soul was traveling in the realm of fantasy, but Ye Zang knew that this was not the realm of fantasy.

His soul fell from the sky for a full half hour before it landed steadily on the ground.

The mountains, rivers and lakes are like splash-ink landscape paintings, tranquil and far-reaching, with an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

But Ye Zang knew that everything here was an illusion constructed by the divine consciousness. The Hedao Secret Treasure was different from other secret treasures. The things in other secret treasures were real, but in the Hedao Secret Treasure, true and false, real and unreal were intertwined.

The soul flew between the mountains and clouds, and Ye Zang's Dharma Eye overlooked the earth.

Not long after they walked out, the world suddenly changed. The mountains, rivers and lakes collapsed in the blink of an eye, like broken clouds, turning into countless mists and disappearing.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth turned extremely red, with ten red suns hanging high in the sky. The temperature of this world suddenly rose, and the earth became extremely dry and cracked.

Ye Zang felt as if his Taoist body was about to split apart and was in great pain.

But he did not stop. With his Dharma Eye, he continued to move towards the south at a high speed.

Although the scenes before him were extremely real, Ye Zang knew that they were all illusions created by his spiritual consciousness.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a spiritual object just after entering here."

Ye Zang concentrated his attention and looked at the palm-sized stone embedded in the ground in front of him. It was snow-white in color, with criss-crossing restrictions on it, and it exuded a powerful and pure spiritual power.
