Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 518 Preparing for a Massive Battle
Chen Yun recalled the agreement between Ziwei Emperor and Dong Wanggong.

The other party promised the master that he was willing to give himself ninety days in heaven to make amends for his master.

"If you count the days, it's already halfway through."

Sitting in the quiet room, Chen Yun thought to himself: "Over the years, I seem to have done nothing, but in fact, I have done a lot of things."

For example, they could lurk on the Khitan side and add fuel to the flames to cause the collapse of the Later Tang Dynasty.

We have now entered the Later Jin period, the third regime of the Five Dynasties.

According to the historical process that Chen Yun was familiar with, the Later Jin Dynasty would collapse in five or six years.

"After Shi Jingtang's death, his nephew... or adopted son Shi Chonggui will succeed him as the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty. Then, I can stay in Khitan for a few more years and push the Khitan to complete the war to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, and then I can get away."

Chen Yun took this matter very seriously.

When Shi Jingtang was in power, he was extremely respectful to the Khitan, calling himself a puppet emperor and a subordinate, and never overstepped his authority at all.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Khitan to launch a war of annihilation against the Later Jin regime, which they had supported with their own hands.

Shi Chonggui was different. He was an emperor who cared about his reputation. Even though he openly called himself the grandson of the Khitan, he was not refusing to be their vassal.

Such an action would certainly anger the Khitan, who would send troops across the country to destroy it.

Chen Yun wanted to push the Five Dynasties regime into the Later Zhou period before he could truly come out to help Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, once Zhao Kuangyin came to power, it would be relatively easy for him to sweep across the world with the wealth left by the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The most difficult thing at the moment is to overthrow the Central Plains regime of Later Jin.

Since you cannot overthrow the Later Jin regime, the era cannot advance to the Later Han, and naturally there will be no Later Zhou and Zhao Song regimes.

The Later Han regime was relatively easy to overthrow, and Guo Tu could just start a rebellion.

The Later Zhou regime was even easier to seize. Zhao Kuangyin launched a military coup at Chenqiao and seized power in one fell swoop.

The most difficult thing now is how to overthrow the Later Jin regime.

This was a massive battle involving the war between the Khitan and the Central Plains.

Although it is now a vassal of the Later Jin Dynasty, it is actually not weak and has the ability to resist the Khitan army.

Furthermore, Chen Yun had already learned from his ancestor Dong Wanggong that the Later Jin Dynasty was the party that Ziwei Emperor was betting on.

If the Khitan used all its national strength to attack the Later Jin Dynasty, the sacred beings under the command of Emperor Ziwei would only need to come out and set up formations or use their magic to stop them. It would be difficult for the Khitan immortals to break through the siege and destroy the country.

"The ancestor once said that as long as I encounter difficulties in Khitan, the Jade Emperor Gaoshang will give me unconditional support."

Chen Yun analyzed: "From the perspective of paper strength, the Purple Star Emperor is definitely more advantageous at the moment. After all, he is now the Heavenly Emperor. However, he has won over the Jade Emperor and the Grand Master Dong Wanggong. I think the strength of his subordinates will not be much worse than that of the Purple Star Emperor."

In other words, if he fully supported the Khitan in destroying the Later Jin Dynasty, then the most sensational battle in the Battle of the Gods might follow.

At that time, both the Emperor of Ziwei and the Jade Emperor will come out personally to decide the winner.

As the Emperor of Heaven, Ziwei Emperor is respected by all the heavens and worlds, and is even promoted to be the "Great Celestial Lord". His strength is naturally unquestionable.

Chen Yun believed that even if he had seen the strongest sacred Sakyamuni Buddha, he might not be a match for Emperor Ziwei in terms of hard power.

As for the strength of the Jade Emperor, Chen Yun was not quite sure.

However, he had heard from his ancestor before that the Jade Emperor had an extraordinary identity and was very likely the fourth person to achieve unity with the Tao after the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures.

Therefore, Chen Yun boldly speculated that the true strength of the Jade Emperor might even be above that of the Purple Star Emperor.

"This battle will surely be extremely brutal, and countless human immortals, earth immortals, and even gods and celestial immortals will be reduced to ashes."

Chen Yun felt a strong sense of oppression deep in his heart. "If I am too weak, I may not be able to survive this battle, so I must improve my combat effectiveness and raise my cultivation to at least the Earthly Immortal Realm in these four or five years."

There are only a few ways to improve combat effectiveness, such as obtaining a powerful magic weapon, or improving one's own cultivation to a certain level.

He currently wants to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm, but there is one obstacle, which is that he must kill Taoist Gou Teng, otherwise his soul will be "impure" and cannot be condensed at all.

He wanted to kill Taoist Gou Teng, but his current strength was not enough.

You need more powerful magic weapons or means to be sure enough to kill the opponent.

This is undoubtedly similar to his own purpose of preparing to participate in the Khitan's war to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty five or six years later.

I need to improve my methods and obtain a truly powerful magic weapon.

And these things may be available in the caves of Sun Moon Lake.

The most important thing is that once you break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, you can take the Spirit Transformation Soup, and in a very short period of time, improve your cultivation to at least the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, or even to the brink of the late stage.

"This time when I go to Sun Moon Lake Dongtian, I must set a goal for myself."

Chen Yun was calculating what he needed.

That green lantern must be obtained at all costs.

In addition, there are precious materials needed to refine the purple-gold gourd magic weapon.

And the medicinal materials needed for the Huashen Decoction. Qingdeng had nothing to say, Chen Yun knew exactly where that thing was.

Chen Yun could roughly calculate the materials needed to refine the purple-gold gourd magic weapon based on the refining book given by his mentor. It would take about seven to eight pieces.

"Mysterious Immortal Sand, Vermillion Bird Fire Essence, True Dragon's Saliva, Chongming Bird's Wings, Nine-Turn Iron, Morning Glow Qi, Cold Evil Essence, and Taibai Yuan."

The saliva of a real dragon is relatively easy to obtain. I have a good relationship with Xiao Long Nu, so I can just let her spit some saliva...

Mm, ambergris.

The remaining seven materials are relatively rare.

Especially the three treasures, the Vermillion Bird Fire Essence, the Chongming Bird Wings and the Taibai Yuan, can be said to be extremely rare.

Suzaku Fire Essence, as the name suggests, requires the essence of Suzaku Flame.

Even if he was now in the late stage of the human fairyland, he would not be able to defeat Zhuque unless he could find a way to gain advantage by cheating.

The same goes for the wings of the Chongming Bird. As one of the mythical beasts, the Chongming Bird is not something I have any hope of defeating at the moment.

As for Taibai Yuan, this thing's power is almost the same as that of the White Tiger.

The only difference is that Taibai Yuan can be nurtured naturally and does not necessarily have to fight against a ferocious beast like the white tiger.

Chen Yun really didn't know whether there was such material in the caves of Sun Moon Lake.

"Although it is very difficult, if I can collect these materials and refine the purple-gold gourd into a magic weapon, the power may be stronger than the power of the 'Law of Killing' I use alone. It may not only be effective against living beings, but I can even use the characteristics of these materials to refine a super magic weapon that can destroy other people's magic weapons and magic weapons."

He wrote down all the materials one by one and prepared to search carefully when he went to Sun Moon Lake Cave.

After considering what materials were needed to refine the weapon, he began to wonder what medicinal ingredients he was still missing for his Shenhua Soup.

"I have obtained some herbs for making the Huashen Soup from the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven before. In addition, I have moved almost all of my mentor's medicine garden here, which also contains some herbs for making the Huashen Soup. Now I am still short of ten herbs."

Chen Yun recalled the ten herbs. "First is the most difficult to obtain Forget-Me-Not Soul-Destroying Grass. It is said to be as precious as Fire Dates. The remaining nine herbs are relatively easy to obtain."

The trumpet creeper is a spiritual root that is formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed deep in the white clouds.

The spiritual energy in the caves of Sun Moon Lake is so abundant that the possibility of giving birth to this kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth is relatively high.

The third medicinal ingredient required is the Xingchen Tianyuan Fruit.

This kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth is the starlight power of the surrounding stars condensed into the Tianyuan Fruit, thus being filled with star power.

Although the possibility of producing it is very small, it is much greater than the possibility of obtaining the Forget-Sorrow-Removing Soul Grass.

The fourth type is Huiling Chiguo.

This spiritual fruit grows in relatively hot places and is relatively easy to find.

Chen Yun thought to himself, "Blood Python Branch, Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaf, and Earth Core Tempered Earth Milk. These three spiritual roots are usually guarded by powerful spiritual beasts. I might have a tough fight."

Based on his previous exploration experience, he believed that there was a high possibility that these spiritual roots were inside the caves of Sun Moon Lake, so he was not worried at all.

“Although the guardian spirit beasts of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Water, Andrographis paniculata, and Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma may not be too powerful, these medicinal herbs are relatively difficult to find. I don’t know if I can find them after entering the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven.”

Chen Yun memorized the ten medicinal herbs. "No matter how easy it is to find them, since I am going to enter the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven, I must try my best to find them. After all, this is my last chance to enter the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven before the Battle of the Gods ends."

The Sun Moon Lake Cave is opened only once every fifty years.

In another fifty years, the Battle of the Gods was over.

Whether I can survive at that time or not, there is no need to explore anything inside.

Since Chen Yun wants to improve his cultivation to a certain level within four or five years, he must take advantage of the opening of the Sun Moon Lake Cave to collect everything he needs.

Only in this way can we improve our own strength and increase our ability to protect ourselves in the upcoming massive battle of the Khitan to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Okay, then find a way to collect all these natural treasures and spiritual roots of heaven and earth."

Chen Yun made up his mind to go to Sun Moon Lake Cave.

This time he was not planning to travel with Wu Kejiu, Longnv Sanjiu, Gao Chen and others.

It's not that I despise these people for their low cultivation level and for holding them back.

It’s because my time is really too tight.

There was no way to travel slowly with Wu Kejiu and others to search for rare treasures.

"Although I don't plan to travel with them, we should meet at the entrance of the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven when we go there. After all, that is the only way to enter the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven in this world."

Chen Yunting missed Wu Kejiu, Longnv Sanjiu, Gao Chen and others, and wanted to know how they were doing.

"Don't worry. There is still less than a year before the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven opens. During this time, I will go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to find Xiao Longnv and ask her for some real dragon saliva."

As he thought about it, Chen Yun's body gradually became weaker and he headed towards the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
