Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 700 Taiyi Cave
The White Crane Boy responded respectfully, and then left Yuxu Palace with Di Ke, who was busy bowing to the Three Pure Ones and a group of senior brothers and sisters. They soon came to the sky above a mountain forest not far from Yuxu Palace, pointed to some palaces and caves scattered below and said, "Junior Master, these caves are mostly the caves where the senior masters used to practice on the mountain. Most of the senior masters are not here now, and they only come here occasionally to stay temporarily. Most of these caves are ownerless, and you can choose any one to live in."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Baihe," Dicko said with a smile and bowed. After a slight sensation, he flew straight to a cave built on the mountainside in a valley.

The valley is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and even a number of magical herbs and fruits are planted there. The stone door of the cave-like abode is dark red, and one can faintly feel the surging breath of hot energy.

"What a great place!" Dicko, who had fallen into the valley, couldn't help but smile as he pointed at the stone gate and asked the White Crane Boy who had fallen in behind him, "Is there a vein of earth fire in this cave? It's very suitable for refining medicine and weapons! It seems to be an ownerless cave too. Can I choose this place?"

"This is the cave of Uncle Taiyi. He died in ancient times, so this is indeed an ownerless cave," said Baihe Tongzi with a complicated expression.

Uncle Taiyi? Dick was shocked when he heard that. He looked at him and asked, "Are you talking about Taiyi Zhenren, the master of Nezha the Third Prince in heaven?"

"That's right!" The White Crane Boy nodded slightly, and Di Ke asked curiously, "When Senior Brother Taiyi died, was he a god or a great Taoist?"

"Of course he is a Taoist ancestor. Unfortunately, the catastrophe that destroyed the three ancient realms was too terrible. Not only Uncle Taiyi, but also several other uncles who have reached the level of True Gods and Taoists, and the original master, all died in that catastrophe." White Crane Boy's words made Di Ke's face change immediately. The original body of Nanji Immortal, and several other uncles who have reached the level of True Gods and Taoists?

The chatterbox-like White Crane Boy couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for the fact that I died and only had the Qi-refining Second Soul left, I'm afraid Master's strength would be even stronger, right?"

“He only has his second soul left but he is still a top-level Daoist master? You are underestimating my senior brother!” Dicko thought to himself after hearing this.

Buzz... With a wave of the White Crane Boy's hand, colorful clouds rose in the entire valley, and the protective formation outside the cave seemed to be completely activated. At the same time, the dark red stone door of the cave also emitted a dazzling red light, and then a violent and hot breath gushed out, and a giant red colored glass dragon poked its head out through the stone door as if it were an illusion.

“Junior Master, if you leave a mark of your divine power or elemental power on the scales on its head, you can control the formation of the entire cave.” At the reminder of the White Crane Boy, Di Ke also noticed the complex runes extending from the only red dragon scale condensed on the top of the giant dragon's head. Then he nodded slightly, and a trace of divine power extended over and directly invaded the dragon scale.

Suddenly, the aura of the formation that protected the entire cave changed, making Dicko feel familiar and as if it was an extension of his own hands and feet. He could sense everything in the cave. With a thought, the energy dragon at the core of the formation returned to the stone door of the cave. The slightly trembling stone door suddenly opened, revealing an even more surging hot aura inside. The entire cave became red as a furnace.

Accompanied by the White Crane Boy, he entered the cave. In the cave filled with rolling heat waves, Dico soon came to a boiling magma lake. The violent and hot breath in the lake was enough to make a Qi-refining Wanxiang Zhenren unbearable, but Dico, whose body was refined to the level of a god, was not afraid.

Next to the lava lake, there is a lotus pond with a diameter of only a few feet and steam rising from it. In it, you can vaguely see a few basin-sized lotus flowers emitting five-colored light. It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary creatures.

"The Kunlun Mountains' underground fire veins and heavenly water sources converge, and the five-colored fairy lotus bred by the water, fire, yin and yang is a rare spiritual material in the Three Realms, which is invulnerable to water and fire. At the beginning, Senior Brother Nezha, the proud disciple of Uncle Taiyi, died with only a wisp of soul left. Uncle Taiyi used this five-colored fairy lotus to reshape his body, allowing Senior Brother Nezha to easily survive the heavenly tribulation," said the White Crane Boy, shaking his head and said, "But Senior Brother Nezha was also affected and bound by the lotus body, and it has been difficult for him to break through and become a true god." "Oh? Then this five-colored fairy lotus and those fairy herbs and fruits outside..." Di Ke asked tentatively, and the White Crane Boy also said, "These are all left by Uncle Taiyi. Even Senior Brother Nezha is not qualified to deal with them. I'm afraid he doesn't care. Now that Junior Uncle has become the owner of this cave, everything here naturally belongs to Junior Uncle."

When Di Ke heard this, he was a little surprised. Not only could he inherit a cave, but he could also inherit everything in the cave. It was worthy of being the Taoist temple of Sanqing Taoist. Not only Sanqing Taoist, but also his disciples did not care much about such a cave. They just gave it to Di Ke.

"Junior Master, please take a rest for a while! Tomorrow I will take you to Zhuxian Pavilion to choose the method of refining Qi and the secret techniques of magical powers, etc." After bowing, the White Crane Boy turned around and left.

Zhuxian Pavilion? Choose Qi-refining methods and magical arts? Di Ke, who saw the White Crane Boy off, couldn't help but look forward to it. As the Taoist leader's dojo, how many Taoist treasures must there be in Zhuxian Pavilion? The top Qi-refining methods, magical arts, etc. are probably enough to include most of the methods of the entire Nuwa camp, right? It's probably richer than the collection in the Three Realms Palace of Bodhi Patriarch.

Apart from the five-colored fairy lotus in the lotus pond, there are no other precious things in the cave. However, the jade bed where Taiyi Zhenren once sat cross-legged in meditation is a rare treasure. Sitting on it will make one feel ethereal, and the efficiency of practicing and attaining enlightenment will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

But after Taiyi Zhenren passed away, some of the most important treasures on his body were naturally not in this cave. In some empty caves, there was not even a furnace for burning incense and refining elixirs.

Coming to the lava lake in the cave again, looking at the three dents on the black rock ground, Dicko waved his hand with a twinkling eye, and a dark red cauldron emitting a surging and hot breath fell to the ground. Its three legs fit perfectly with the three dents on the ground. At the same time, as the cauldron lit up, a faint dragon roar emanated from it, causing the lava lake on the side to surge more violently.

"This is..." The fiery red light condensed on the furnace, and turned into a lovely girl in golden clothes and red hair. Looking at the magma lake with surging flames in front of her, the girl, who was the spirit of the furnace magic weapon, suddenly became excited: "The old master's cave? I didn't expect that I could come back here!"

"I didn't expect that I would have such a fate with Taiyi Zhenren. I randomly chose a cave and it turned out to be the cave where he once practiced," Dicko on the side sighed.

In fact, when his clone passed the tribulation and became a god, he refined the dark red furnace in the stone tablet space and learned that the furnace was called the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. Di Ke had already guessed the origin of the furnace. Taiyi Zhenren had obviously obtained the methods of alchemy, refining, and formations on the World Prison Stone Tablet. No wonder he was so good at alchemy and refining, and even chose this cave with earth fire for the convenience of refining.

"You said you chose this cave? How can you use this cave? Could it be that you..." The golden-clothed girl of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Hood turned to look at Dicko, and asked in some doubt: "Are you a disciple of Yuxu Palace?"

Di Ke nodded and smiled: "Yes! To be precise, I am now the youngest disciple of Master Sanqing Taoist, and the younger apprentice of Master Taiyi."
