Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 528 Attending the Banquet
In Wuzhuang Temple, in front of the earth fire furnace, Xu Yang ticked off a number of precious immortal things, ready to start refining the weapon.

He just swept his whisk, made hand gestures and made seals, and suddenly, waves arose without wind, light appeared without fire, and the silent furnace instantly turned red, showing the patterns of Yin and Yang and Eight Diagrams. There was an unknown fire under the furnace, but its true shape could not be seen. Only the mystery of the Tao could be felt, the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the wonderful principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the innate and acquired, which finally became a ball of fire.

It is exactly – the true fire of Tushita!
He spent thousands of years practicing the profound art, and although he did not achieve the supernatural powers like Ren Baimei, such as the Yin-Yang Microdust, the One Qi and the Three Purities, he did not gain nothing. The Tushita True Fire was one of the few results.

As the name suggests, the Tushita True Fire is the true fire used by the Tushita Palace, which is the direct descendant of the Taiqing Taoist lineage.

But this is only the primary immortal fire of the Taiqing Taoist sect. Above it there is the Liangyi Heavenly Fire, the Liuding and Liujia Divine Fire, and other true divine fires used by the immortals in heaven and on earth.

The most famous of them is the Six Ding and Six Jia sacred fire, which is said to be the true flame used by the Taoist master of Xuanmen, Tushita, of Taiqing. The Six Dings are yin, the acquired fire, and the Six Jias are yang, the innate flame. When the Six Dings and Six Jias are used together, yin and yang are combined, and civil and military powers are refined together, they can transform all things in the world. Even the immortals dare not accept it.

Xu Yang does not have that level of cultivation or realm, and currently has only comprehended the initial level of Tushita True Fire.

But it's not bad either. Look at Ren Baimei, a genius who has practiced hard for thousands of years. He also used the Tushita True Fire. It was not until he became a true immortal that he had a little confidence and studied the Liu Ding Yin Fire. No one knows when he will be able to combine yin and yang and refine the innate and acquired, mixed and unified Liu Ding and Liu Jia divine fire.

Even though it was the earliest type of immortal fire, immortal fire was still immortal fire. Its power was even greater than the pure blue glazed flame of the Garuda clan. It was even more effective in refining pills and weapons. Ren Baimei's ability to become an eighth-rank immortal master of weapons was inseparable from the help of the Tushita True Fire.

Now that Xu Yang has taken over, he is even more adept at it. The Tushita fire is refining, the furnace is turning red, and one spiritual object after another is thrown into it, removing the dross and retaining the essence, waiting for refining.

Before in the Blue Star World, the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace was used, and there was a Garuda King who had reached the third level of cultivation as the fire-burning boy. It took a hundred years to refine a top-grade fairy-level flaming flag. Needless to say, the effort involved was immense.

This time, Xu Yang still wanted to refine the Flame Flag, but he wanted to do more than just refine the Flame Flag.

He had just talked with Yao Ci and the others, and he had sent out the top-grade fairy-level heavenly craftsmanship. It wouldn't be long before the Buddhist sect in Heaven would be able to build top-grade fairy mechas to improve the combat power of the robbers.

This is actually not a good thing for the Wandao Academy. After all, the reason why the Wandao Academy can gain a foothold in Nanzhan and stand on equal footing with the Buddhist sect in the Heavenly Court, in addition to the reason of him, the Taoist master, is the powerful combat power provided by the top-grade immortal spirits, which enables the Mahayana to fight against the low-level Tribulation Immortals.

Now that the top-grade immortal magic has been leaked, with the foundation of the Buddhist sect in the Heavenly Court, it will soon be able to produce a large number of immortal combat forces to wipe out the advantage of the Wandao Academy in this area.

This is not good. After all, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. No one can guarantee that after obtaining this method, the Buddhist sects in heaven will not have any disloyalty, causing Nanzhan to fall into war again.

Therefore, Xu Yang was cautious and the top-grade fairy spirit-making technique he provided to the two families was only the initial version of the top-grade fairy spirit-making technique.

Over the past three thousand years, the Wandao Academy in various worlds has been still working hard on research and development. Although they have not yet pushed the Tiangong Creation Method to the eighth level, they have made a lot of improvements to it, making it closer to perfection. The level of mechas and the combat power of immortals have all been significantly improved.

This can be seen from the previous battle in the Dark Realm. The initial version of the top-grade immortal spirit creation only has the combat power of one or two tribulations. Facing the three tribulations immortal gods, they will be at a disadvantage and can only defend, unable to attack.

But in the battle of Huiming Realm, Fengming, who was controlling the latest model of Baiyujing, was able to easily kill the incarnation of a four-tribulation demon god. Even if his combat power was not at the fourth or fifth level, it was at the third level.

In other words, the perfected version of the top-grade immortal spirit creation method already has a combat power comparable to that of a three-tribulation immortal god, and has certain technical advantages over the initial version of the top-grade immortal spirit creation method. That's why Xu Yang gave the method away so easily, allowing the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect to share the pressure in exchange for development time.

The same is true now. He wants to make a large-scale refining of weapons and create a "Five Elements Immortal" to deal with the situation in the Tongtian Secret Realm.

This Five Elements Immortal Lord will be composed of five immortal flags and 500 million spiritual treasures and magical weapons. Its combat power is even greater than that of the single-core Baiyujing, and it focuses on defense. It has the five elements of life and death, and is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. It will be controlled by him personally, and even if he cannot win against the Nine Tribulations True Immortal, he can still remain invincible.

As for the spiritual treasures and magical weapons, needless to say, the academy has been established for more than three thousand years. Relying on the merits of the Five Zhuang Dan Yuan and the fruits of the Ten Thousand Dao Xun Tian, ​​it has made progress in all realms above and below. The wealth and foundation it has accumulated is enough to refine five hundred million spiritual treasures and magical weapons, it's just that it will cost some vitality and hurt some bones.

As for the Five Immortal Flags...

Center——Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag!

East——Blue Lotus Flag!

South——The flaming flag off the ground!

West——Plain Cloud Flag!

North——Zhenwu Soap Carved Flag!

These innate five-sided flags are all immortal treasures, or even existences above immortal treasures. They are sealed in the Tongtian Secret Realm, and even true immortals cannot touch them.

But just like the Flame Flag, the Tongtian Secret Realm has been opened dozens of times, and a large number of immortals have entered to observe these ancient fairy treasures, understand their principles and mysteries, and finally they have found the method of imitating and refining them, and circulated it among the earthly immortals.

Over the years, Xu Yang has been collecting all the five methods. With the addition of the immortal treasures and spiritual materials obtained from this Danyuan Conference, it will be hopeful for him to refine five top-grade Five Elements Immortal Flags, if not easy.

Once the Five Directions Immortal Flags are completed and the Five Elements Immortal Lord is established, the journey to the Tongtian Secret Realm will be greatly guaranteed.

……

Now, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already six hundred years later.

Dongsheng Heaven, Yaochi Fairy Palace!
But I saw the fairy palace of Yaochi, with its lingering fragrance and colorful auspicious mist, the colorful knots on the Yaotai and the misty treasure pavilion. The shapes of phoenixes and dragons soared in the air, and the shadows of golden flowers and jade petals floated up and down. There were nine-phoenix and red-cloud curtains, eight-treasure purple cushions, a colorful gold-painted table, and a jade basin with a thousand flowers. On the table there were dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paws and ape lips, all kinds of delicious delicacies, and all kinds of new exotic fruits and delicacies.

It was the time for the grand gathering at Yaochi and the Peach Banquet.

The immortal lights from the lower world came straight up to the sky and fell into the heavens, filled with the figures of immortals and gods.

"The birthday palace master has arrived!"

"Master Huiming has arrived!"

"The God of Wu Qu has arrived!"

"Here comes the Heavenly King of Zhenwu!"

"The White Tiger Star Lord has arrived!"

"..."

The masters of each palace, the masters of each path, and all the immortal gods in the calamity realm all gathered in the Yaochi meeting.

When all the immortals entered the Yaochi together, they saw countless golden lights, thousands of auspicious colors, rolling neon lights, and spraying purple mist.

Amidst all kinds of auspicious signs, the golden throne was set aside, and the Emperor and Empress came hand in hand and took the throne.

When the Emperor and Empress Tianzun took their seats, they saw a figure from the West coming, sitting on a lotus, amidst the holy light of Buddha.

Exactly...

"Great Mercy Bodhisattva!"

The Jade Emperor stood up and greeted him with a smile: "The Bodhisattva has come in person, the Heaven is so glorious!"

"Amitabha!"

Daci stepped down from the lotus platform and led the golden boy and jade girl to bow together: "This humble monk pays homage to the Heavenly Venerable. The two Buddhas are busy with important matters and cannot come in person. Please forgive me, Heavenly Venerable."

"Where there!"

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and asked the three people to stand up. "Three hundred years ago, I was unable to attend the Yulan Festival in person. The two Buddhas do not blame me, so how can I blame them? Bodhisattva, please stand up quickly and take the seat with us."

After that, he invited the three of them to sit at the table.

The immortals and Buddhas took their seats, singing and dancing began in the hall, and as people drank and chatted, strange phenomena were seen in the sky.

A burst of strange fragrance came to my nose, startling all the stars and constellations in the hall. The gods and Buddhas put down their cups and raised their heads to greet me.

An old man appears in the middle of the sky, holding a Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. The gourd contains a thousand-year-old elixir, and the treasure book contains a thousand-year-old life.

The universe in the cave is free, and the sun and moon in the pot are accomplished. Traveling around the world is leisurely, and the ten continents are free to converge.

I went to the Peach Festival and got drunk several times. When I woke up, the moon was still bright. Long head, big ears and short body, the South Pole is called Laoshou.

Exactly...

"Antarctic Immortal Emperor!"

All the immortals saluted and welcomed the Emperor. The Jade Emperor and Empress also stood up and asked, "Is the Emperor here?"

"I am a step late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, your words are too polite. Please take a seat."

"……" The immortals came down to welcome the Emperor of the South Pole, and then there was a bright purple light from the north, and yet another emperor came with a show of hostility.

"The Great Emperor of Arctic Ziwei!"

All the immortals stood up again to pay their respects and welcome the North Pole Emperor.

The two emperors of the north and the south arrived, and the two true immortals took their seats.

The immortals took their seats, and after a short while, a colorful rainbow appeared, and an immortal and three clouds ascended to the sky.

Exactly...

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Daos has arrived!"

With a shout, the fairies rose again, but somewhat reluctantly.

But no matter how unwilling you are, you dare not be disrespectful and you still have to be polite.

But I saw one immortal in front and three clouds behind. The four of them entered the Yaochi together, faced the Tianzun, and bowed their heads in worship.

"Zhen Yuanzi pays homage to the Great Celestial Lord!"

"You don't have to be so polite, Emperor Wandao!"

The Jade Emperor smiled and held him with his empty hands: "Please take a seat."

Xu Yang nodded, sat aside, and paid his respects to the two emperors of the north and south, and the two daughters Yao Ci.

"Daoyou has come from afar, and the Heavenly Court is so honored!"

"I have heard of your name for a long time. Seeing you today, I find it is indeed true."

"I didn't know the emperor was coming, so I didn't go out to greet him. Please forgive me."

"Emperor, how are you these days?"

The immortals above looked at each other and greeted each other.

Looking down, many immortal officials had frowned.

"This Wan Dao Lord..."

“It has a good relationship with Buddhism!”

“It doesn’t matter if the Heavenly Venerable indulges him, but the Yaochi Palace Master is also so close to him?”

"And this great and compassionate Bodhisattva..."

"I heard that six hundred years ago, at the Dan Yuan meeting, this compassionate Bodhisattva ignored past grudges and came in person, even presenting a valuable gift, as if to turn hostility into friendship."

"Three hundred years ago, during the Ullambana Festival, this Master of Ten Thousand Daos also went to the West. After arriving at the Pure Land of Vasāra, he was personally welcomed by the two Buddhas. It is said that he was also presented with three nine-eyed Bodhi fruits!"

"Three nine-eyed bodhisattvas. When the King of Thailand came to his Ullambana Festival in the past, he was treated with this kind of hospitality!"

"What does Buddhism mean by this? Are they trying to stir up trouble?"

"Humph, the Buddhist sect is afraid of his Wandao Academy and wants to repair it, but my Xiji Imperial Court is not afraid!"

"If the Emperor had not fought too hard with the demons in the secret realm and had to retreat to recuperate, I would have settled the cause and effect with him today and relieved the hatred in my heart."

"Fortunately, the Emperor of Xiji is in seclusion, otherwise, at today's Peach Festival, I'm afraid there would be a fight between the True Immortals!"

A group of immortal officials were discussing the matter with mixed thoughts.

Xu Yang, however, did not care at all and took out several jade boxes: "I have nothing but this Grass Returning Pill. I will present it to the Heavenly Venerable at the meeting today. And fellow Taoists, please discuss it together."

"what!"

"I've heard for a long time that there is a Wanlingcao Huanzhidan in Wuzhuang Temple. After seeing it today, it's true!"

"Your Majesty is too polite. The Five Manors of Heaven are originally one family. It is a family feast, so why should we be polite?"

"Daoyou's alchemy technique is indeed mysterious. It's a pity that Emperor Dongji is still in seclusion, otherwise the discussion of the alchemy technique by the two True Immortals today would have become a great story."

Looking at the pill in front of them, the immortals spoke a few words. Although they were just for show, their praise was sincere.

The Jade Emperor looked at the three top-grade elixirs in the box and was very pleased. He waved his hand and said, "The immortals have arrived. The Peach Banquet is about to begin. Let all of you enjoy it together. This joy will never end!"

"Your Majesty, great blessings!"

"..."

"..."

According to the procedure, the Peach Banquet began. Xu Yang sat alone and was also enjoying it.

The Tongtian Secret Realm opens once every ten thousand years, or once opened for a thousand years.

This thousand-year gap is the time for all parties to prepare.

Therefore, the Peach Festival in Heaven and the Ullambana Festival in Buddhism are both held here.

His Danyuan Conference lasted for more than two hundred years, and the Tongtian Secret Realm was opened halfway. A group of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters returned to the world, secluded themselves in Guanzhong, and consumed what they had gained over the past ten thousand years.

The Emperor of the West was no exception. It was said that he fought a fierce battle with demons in the Tongtian Secret Realm, which exhausted his muscles and bones. As soon as he came out of the secret realm, he returned to the Imperial Palace to recuperate and has not been seen since.

Xu Yang was also happy and relaxed, and focused all his energy on refining the Five Elements Immortal Flag. Only three hundred years ago did he take some free time to go to the West to participate in the Buddhist Ullambana Festival.

Now six hundred years have passed, and there are still two or three hundred years before the Tongtian Secret Realm is closed. It is natural for the Peach Festival to be held.

Now at the Peach Banquet, there are only two emperors from the north and south, and the two emperors from the east and west are nowhere to be seen.

This is because of the Tongtian Secret Realm.

The Tongtian Secret Realm opens only once every ten thousand years, and all major forces want to enter and rely on the resources of the secret realm to strengthen themselves.

But in order to enter the secret realm, you also have to take the outside world into consideration. Otherwise, once you come out, all your family fortune will be gone. Wouldn’t that be too much to cry with?
Therefore, all the major sects of immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters would reserve true immortals outside to maintain the situation and ensure that nothing was lost.

The Heavenly Palace is no exception. Last time, it was the East and West Emperors who entered the country, but this time the situation will change.

The two emperors staying behind are enough to deter the demons and ensure that Dongsheng is worry-free.

On the contrary, the Buddhist sect was somewhat stretched because there were only two Buddhas in the sect, one went inside and the other stayed behind, and they were not strong enough to face the demons.

This is why the Buddhist community has been planning to spread Buddhism to the south, but has not yet carried out the plan.

A Buddha can only sit and guard Xiniu Hezhou, and the Buddhist foundation is no longer able to protect Nanzhan.

But this time is different. Buddhism will give up this chance to reach the heavens. Both Buddhas will stay behind to complete the task of spreading Buddhism to the south and help the great sage and wise man to realize the nine calamities.

Giving up a momentary opportunity in exchange for two Nine Tribulations True Buddhas, this deal is definitely not a loss.

Just ...

"Emperor, how does this top-grade peach taste compared to the nine-eyed bodhi?"

A word brings back thoughts.
