Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 525 Argument
"Boom!"

The purple sun broke the thunder, and the thunder swallowed the purple sun. This went on for an unknown amount of time before the clouds finally cleared and the rain stopped.

A man floated down, his whole body was filled with purple mist, full of immortal spirit. There were three flowers on the top of his head and five energies in his chest. The virtual and the real condensed and then gathered in his body, transforming into immortal merits and the seeds of longevity.

If not Master Zi Yang, then who else could it be?

"Daoist!"

The test of the fairyland has passed. Zi Yang Zhenren returned to the temple and hurried forward. He ignored the people around him and bowed to Xu Yang: "This old man..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yang came forward and supported him with both hands: "Brother Dao, you are a late bloomer!"

Hearing these words, even though he was already an immortal god in the calamity realm, True Man Zi Yang almost couldn't hold back his emotions and almost shed tears, but when he met Xu Yang's gaze, he immediately smiled and said, "Zi Yang is so lucky to meet the Taoist master in this life!"

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled, raised his glass, and said to everyone: "This Danyuan meeting is a double happiness. Fellow Taoists, raise your glasses and congratulate Brother Ziyang."

Upon hearing this, everyone present raised their glasses, and old friends from Nanzhan, such as Chunjun Sword Master and Peony Fairy, congratulated loudly.

"Congratulations to the Immortal, may you achieve immortality and attain immortality!"

"Nanzhan has gained a true cultivator, and the Academy has gained an immortal!"

"This alchemy meeting will surely become a legend and go down in history!"

"Brother Dao has accumulated a lot of experience, and this Immortal Fruit of the Tribulation Realm is just what you deserve!"

All the practitioners raised their glasses to congratulate him, and Master Zi Yang smiled and returned the greetings.

Seeing this scene, all the immortals and gods sighed inwardly.

There seems to be only one realm difference between transcending tribulation and achieving Mahayana, but in reality, there is a world of difference.

Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about lifespan. The lifespan of a Mahayana cultivator is generally between 50,000 years. A few alien species and those who know how to maintain good health can live up to 100,000 years. But no matter whether it is 50,000 or 100,000, a lifespan is a lifespan and there will always be an end to the day when one will die.

It is different for immortals who have overcome nine tribulations. Although there are nine levels of immortal tribulations hanging above their heads, their lifespans are truly immortal. As long as the heaven and earth do not decline, there is no limit to their lifespans. Otherwise, how dare they call themselves immortals?

Just based on this point, there is a huge difference between the two realms, the difference between immortals and mortals. Apart from the amazing methods such as the creation of heaven and some immortal formations, there is almost no other means that can make up for it.

Therefore, the lifelong wish of Mahayana practitioners is to enter the realm of calamity.

But the difference between immortals and mortals in this realm of calamity is not easy.

Countless Mahayana masters have spent their entire lives trying but still failed to reach the heavenly gate of the calamity realm, let alone leap over the dragon gate and transform themselves into immortals.

For example, Yin Tianjun, the True Immortal Sect, and the practitioners of the Four Methods were all stuck at the last level and could not transcend no matter what.

In comparison, True Man Zi Yang is a little better, but not much better. Relying on the health-preserving techniques of the alchemy cauldron, he has practiced for more than 80,000 years and is at the stage of Mahayana perfection. The gate to immortality is within reach, but he just can't open it.

Being able to enter the Mahayana realm and cultivate the seventh-level alchemy method, his aptitude and understanding are definitely not bad. If not a child of destiny, he is definitely a dragon among men. However, there are some things, some matters, that he just lacks a step.

Just that fine line of difference becomes a lifelong difficulty!

If he didn't have this opportunity today, he would probably never be able to enter the realm of calamity in his lifetime.

But this is not the key point. Compared with a True Man Zi Yang, the immortals care more about the Wan Dao Academy.

The academy has been established in the south for more than three thousand years. There are many Mahayana cultivators like Zi Yang Zhenren. Among them, there are some proud ones, such as Feng Ming, who has the true blood of the phoenix, and can even fight against the demon gods and devils who have experienced three or four calamities with his Mahayana body.

These Mahayana masters of the academy have already reached the calamity realm with their Heavenly Creation Methods. If they are allowed to go one step further, wouldn’t that be…

Today it is True Man Zi Yang, then who will it be tomorrow, Lord Chun Jun Sword, or Fairy Peony?
If there is one, there will be two. If there are two, there will be three. The Wandao Academy already has the power to create a calamity realm!

The trend is set, who can stop it?
The immortals sighed inwardly, then stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate.

"Fellow Daoist Zi Yang, you have great fortune and luck. Now you have achieved immortal fruit. This is also the cycle of nature."

"Today I have found another friend. I am no longer alone!"

"This is such a blessing, we should celebrate it!"

The immortals raised their glasses to congratulate each other. Although their attitudes did not change much, and they were not rude at first but respectful later, the warmth and fickleness of human nature could still be seen.

There was no way. A dragon does not mate with snakes, a phoenix does not roost with birds. A Tribulation Immortal is a Tribulation Immortal, and a Mahayana is a Mahayana. Although he had not shown any disrespect before, he still felt very lightly about it in his heart, and he accepted the call of "senior" calmly.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Master Zi Yang lost his composure just now. Some things are really like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold.

But no matter how hot or cold it was, the show had to be done. True Man Zi Yang returned the greetings one by one, pushing the atmosphere of the alchemy meeting to a climax.

"This Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture..."

“It’s really mysterious!”

“Although it is undoubtedly the Taiqing Dao, I have never heard of it.”

"Is there such a legacy in the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

"Or is it the Wandao Academy, where all the heavens and worlds are looking for you?"

"This method was preached by the Master of Ten Thousand Daos. It is not easy to understand, but it is at least quite simple."

"After this alchemy meeting, the level of cultivation will probably rise!"

The cultivators sighed, and at this moment, they heard Master Zi Yang say, "The Taoist Master's teachings have benefited us a lot. I cannot be too cowardly, so I will teach you the method of the alchemy furnace, and share it with you Taoist friends."

"This……"

"Very good!"

The eyes of the immortals were fixed, but before they could say anything, they saw Xu Yang chuckle and decided the matter.

Immortal Zi Yang nodded immediately, turned to the crowd and began to explain the alchemy method.

Although he had just entered the Tribulation Realm, his cultivation of the Alchemy Ding had already reached the seventh level, making him a rare immortal alchemy master in the south. When he talked about the method of the Alchemy Ding, even the immortals and gods in the Tribulation Realm would listen attentively and would not dare to be slow.

This method of making alchemy is not like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, which requires several months of practice to master. True Man Zi Yang did not hold back at all and told all his experience in making alchemy.

After explaining the alchemy method, True Man Zi Yang turned his gaze to the immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm.

"This old man..."

The immortals were helpless when they saw this.

True Man Zi Yang's move was to set an example himself and let these Tribulation Immortals return the favor by also bringing out some fundamental methods to make this Dan Yuan event a success.

In fact, they had the same idea even without Master Zi Yang's urging.

In the world of earthly immortals, there is a concept of cause and effect and destiny. As immortal gods in the realm of calamity, they pay even more attention to this.

Therefore, returning a favor is inevitable.

Among all the immortals, the Bodhisattva Daci, who had the highest level of cultivation, spoke first: "I would like to offer my humble service by lecturing on the Lotus Sutra. I hope that fellow Taoist Zhenyuan and the other immortals will give me some advice."

"The Lotus Sutra?"

When the immortals heard this, they were also shocked.

"This is the fundamental method of the Daci lineage!"

“Bodhisattva is also willing to give up!”

"What can I do? The Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture is of too high a grade, and the cause and effect are too severe. If I don't return the favor with this Lotus Sutra, the nine-fold calamity in the future..."

"It seems like we all have to bring out our best skills!"

The immortals spoke secretly in their hearts, then straightened their postures and listened quietly to the Bodhisattva's lecture.

Even Xu Yang listened seriously to the Lotus Sutra.

This hearing, ten years have passed.

"Lotus Flower, Lotus Flower!"

After ten years, the sutra finally came to an end, and all the practitioners woke up as if from a dream. Xu Yang nodded repeatedly, praising it generously: "It is worthy of being the true sutra of Buddhism. The Zen principles are profound, the Zen principles are profound!"

Upon hearing this, Daci also smiled: "My fellow Taoist has made such a great contribution, I am sorry to show off my ugliness!" "The Bodhisattva is too modest!"

Xu Yang shook his head and stood up excitedly: "Which Taoist friend should I change to next?"

As soon as the voice fell, the Yaochi Palace Master beside him smiled and said: "Yao Ji's cultivation is shallow, not as profound as the Emperor and the Bodhisattva. I can only explain the Taiyuan Sword. I hope the Emperor and the immortals can teach me."

"Oh?"

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, and became interested: "The Palace Master lives in Yaochi, and is actually a sword immortal?"

Yao Ji looked at him with interest: "Your Majesty, what you said, does it mean that a girl from Yaochi cannot be a swordsman immortal?"

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled: "I was the one who made the first move. I am ashamed of myself. I hope Palace Master will forgive me!"

Yao Ji also smiled sweetly: "Yao Ji's words were just a joke, Your Majesty, please don't take it seriously."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Seeing the two of them singing in harmony, the immortals were speechless.

What was the purpose of the Jade Emperor sending the Master of Yaochi Palace here?

The atmosphere was subtle, but it did not have any impact. A group of immortals and gods in the calamity realm came to the stage to preach and show their best skills. Some preached the way to immortality, while others talked about the art of protecting the way.

"My three sisters have nothing, and our cultivation methods are mediocre. Only one aura can be considered mysterious. I hope the Emperor and fellow Taoists will appreciate it."

When three female cultivators came on stage, all the immortals were surprised.

"It's Fairy Yunqing from the Sanxiao Sect!"

"Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation?"

"They are willing to talk about this kind of life-saving method?"

All the immortals and gods in the calamity realm were secretly shocked, and asked the cultivators to get off their seats, not knowing why.

"Sanxiao Sect?"

“I haven’t heard of it before!”

"I am ignorant of this. That is the Taoist sect of immortals. It is located in the Immortal Mountain of the East China Sea. They worship the ancient Three Heavenly Lords as their teachers. There are three female immortals in the sect: Yunqing, Yunming, and Yunyan. They are all masters of the calamity realm."

"Although these three fairies are all newly promoted Tribulation Lords, the eldest sister, Fairy Yunqing, has only recently entered the second tribulation barrier, and Yunming and Yunyan were both Mahayana five thousand years ago, and are only at the first tribulation realm now, but they are all well-known strongmen in the East China Sea."

"It's because the three sisters, by chance, in the Tongtian Secret Realm, inherited the legacy of the ancient Three Heavenly Lords, who have an amazing method called the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation."

"I heard that formation is very powerful, it can cut off the three flowers and five qi, demote immortals to mortals, and determine life and death!"

"When the immortals and demons fought each other, these three fairies set up this formation outside the Demon Abyss and killed three demon lords in succession. They have been famous among the immortals ever since."

"Among the three immortals at that time, only the eldest sister entered the Tribulation Realm, and the other two were both Mahayana. They were able to kill the Tribulation Realm Demon Lord, which shows how powerful the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation is."

"But this Nine-bend Yellow River Formation is the foundation of the Sanxiao Sect. It is a means of life and death. If we tell it in public and reveal the secret, won't it be taken advantage of in the future?"

The cultivators were discussing the matter, all in confusion for a moment.

The Three Cloud Fairies didn't care. When they came up to the stage, they looked at Xu Yang again and said, "Emperor, this Nine-bend Yellow River Formation was obtained by my three sisters from the Tongtian Secret Realm. The formation is incomplete and the power is not complete. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please point them out, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang also said seriously: "Thank you for your appreciation, Fairy. If I gain anything, I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Yun Qing bowed and began to talk: "According to the Three Elements, the evil array of the Yellow River has brought disaster to all the gods and immortals. The nine-nine bends hide the good fortune, and the three-three bends hide the wind and thunder. It is said that the cultivators in Langyuan, who would have thought that the spirit platform would form a holy fetus. When I met this master, I changed my bones again, and then I knew that the left way was not worthy of being a matchmaker!"

"This Nine-bend Yellow River Formation was obtained by my sister and I in the secret realm. It has the Three Elements inside and the Nine Palaces outside, and contains the wonders of heaven and earth. It contains the Immortal Confusing Pill and the Immortal Blocking Secret, which can make the immortal lose his spirit, destroy his soul, trap his form, and damage his spirit."

"If an immortal enters this place, he will become a mortal. If an ordinary person enters this place, he will perish. There is no straight line in the nine bends. The bends reveal the wonders of nature and reveal the secrets of immortals."

"..."

While Yun Qing was talking, he was also rehearsing the battle formation. The beauty of the Nine Bends, although a little incomplete, was enough to shock the immortals.

"This……"

"Is this really the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?"

The immortals looked at each other in confusion.

"This Sanxiao Yunxian has incomplete skills and mediocre strength. It is only thanks to the Nine-bend Yellow River Formation that he has become famous today."

"Now that this life-saving method has been made public, aren't you afraid that someone might take advantage of you in the future?"

"You all don't know that the three fairies are helpless."

“I heard that in the Demonic Abyss, an old demon has broken through. He is the master of the evil demons who died in the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation in the past. His cultivation has reached the realm of the Six Tribulations. I’m afraid that he is here to seek trouble with the Sanxiao Sect in this battle in the Tongtian Secret Realm.”

"This Nine-bend Yellow River Formation is incomplete, and it can only cut the Three Tribulations Immortal Fruit. I'm afraid it will be powerless against the Six Tribulations Old Demon. If he really comes to attack us, I'm afraid the three of us will not be able to protect ourselves."

"So, the three of us can only think of ways to complete the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."

"The best way is to enter the Tongtian Secret Realm and study the mysteries of the immortal formation to make up for the deficiencies."

“But now the time has not come, and I cannot enter the Tongtian Secret Realm. Even if I can, that Six Tribulations Old Demon will still make things difficult for me.”

"Without any other choice, the three of them could only come to Wuzhuang Temple to see if this Wandao Emperor, who is well versed in all kinds of methods and a scholar of heaven and earth, could complete the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, even if it is just one or two parts."

The immortals spoke silently, explaining the cause and effect.

Looking at the stage again, the three immortals performed a formation, and the nine-bend Yellow River gradually appeared. Although it was just a virtual performance, it still made many robbery immortals secretly frightened.

There seemed to be an inexplicable energy in Chen's posture, piercing directly into the three flowers and five qi, trying to destroy the immortal fruit.

Those with a high level of cultivation are naturally not afraid, but those who have experienced one or two tribulations do not have this confidence.

"Nine Bends of the Yellow River!"

"Confusing Immortal Pill, Closing Immortal Technique!"

Xu Yang watched the formation being performed and became interested: "This formation is specifically designed for immortals and gods. It can cut off the three flowers and five qi, and even the three barriers of happiness, wealth and longevity. Once you enter the formation, the immortal will be demoted to a mortal, and the mortal will die."

"Not bad!"

Fairy Yunqing nodded: "It's a pity that this formation is incomplete and difficult to complete. It can only reduce the Dao fruit below the third calamity."

Xu Yang smiled and saw the key point: "Is it because of the technique?"

"This……"

Yun Qing was suspicious, then nodded: "Emperor has a keen eye. Although my three sisters have inherited the Three Heavens Patriarch's teachings in the secret realm, our skills and formations are incomplete, so there are many problems when we operate them."

"Because of the technique, I have no choice."

Xu Yang smiled faintly and said: "However, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture I just passed on is the Taiqing Dharma Transmission, which directly points to the root of the Great Dao. Perhaps it can make up for this incompleteness and make the formation more perfect."

"This……"

Yun Qing hesitated for a moment: "Is it feasible?"

“You won’t know until you try it!”

Xu Yang smiled and said, "I am quite interested in this formation. If the three fairies do not mind, you can stay in Nanzhan for a long time and discuss this together."

"This……"

Yun Qing was startled, then came back to her senses, looked at each other, then looked at Xu Yang, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty's kindness is too great to be repaid. If you don't abandon me, the three of us sisters are willing to take you as our brother and follow you through life and death!"
