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

Chapter 626: Building the Yangshen Palace
Quiet room.

Chen Yun did not take the next step immediately.

He first carefully recalled the fifth level of the "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique".

Then he pondered for a long time the Hunyuan Daoguo Xuan Gong taught to him by the Jade Emperor.

"It's easier said than done to build the Yang God Palace. When the Yang Sand changes the bones, the whole body will gradually move towards the true Pure Yang. During this period, the Sunlight Qi will constantly drive away the Ghost Mountain on the body. Once the Ghost Mountain is driven away, it will be Pure Yang."

Chen Yun kept thinking, "According to my previous progress, even with the help of Pure Yang Fire Dragon Pill, it would take me three months to enter the stage of refining Yang God, that is, to build the Yang God Palace. Now that I have completed the Yang Sand Bone Renewal, it naturally does not take that long."

He estimated that after about half a month, he would be able to expel all the evil spirits from his body.

"No, half a month is nothing to me, but the war is tense now. If I retreat, what will I do if the Khitan army encounters an irresistible sacred force?"

Chen Yun frowned and seemed a little hesitant, not knowing how to choose.

Refining the Yang God and achieving immortality is an important step in his pursuit of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Its importance can be said to be a link between the past and the future, and it is related to whether one can ascend to the heavenly fairyland and whether one can achieve Daluo in the future.

Therefore, deep down in Chen Yun's heart, he must be hoping that he can cultivate to the immortal realm as soon as possible.

However, his mentor is now imprisoned, waiting for himself to accumulate enough merit in the Battle of the Gods to rescue him. If he wants to enter the real Battle of the Gods, the Later Jin Dynasty, which is supported by Emperor Ziwei, must be destroyed.

Although the Khitan army has encountered some setbacks, it still has great hope of destroying the Later Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.

How could Chen Yun be willing to give up such a good opportunity?

He thought over and over again, but still couldn't make up his mind whether to ignore the Khitan army and concentrate on refining the Yang God, or delay the progress of cultivation and destroy the Later Jin Dynasty at all costs.

Just when Chen Yun was hesitating, a shocking news came, which made him completely determined on what choice to make.

……

Just as night fell, the sky outside was overcast and the wind was strong.

At that time, Chen Yun was preparing to meet with Yelu Deguang to ask about the future direction of the war.

Suddenly, an unexpected person appeared in Yuancheng.

In the living room, Chen Yun looked at Guo Yazhi in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Brother Guo, why did you suddenly come here?"

Nezha, Li Jing, Guan Ping, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, Black Mama, the Strange-Headed Goddess and Master Hu San were all there, and they all looked at Guo Yazhi with confusion.

This time, the Khitan army was divided into two routes: east and west.

As the main force on the east route, Chen Yun volunteered to lead the crowd to fight against the sacred forces from the Purple Star Emperor and took on the greatest responsibility. Therefore, the nine-headed Bull Demon King, Nezha and Li Jing, three powerful beings, all followed him to defeat the enemy.

The western route is the army led by King Wei. As a diversion, the pressure on their side is definitely much smaller than that on the eastern route. Therefore, Erlang Shen leads all the gods in Guanjiang Temple, plus 1,200 grass-headed gods and many magical soldiers and generals, and can basically sweep the area.

Guo Yazhi, as the leader of the Seven Saints of Meishan, is second only to Erlang Shen in terms of cultivation strength in the Erlang Temple in Guanjiang. He carries a heavy burden himself and should not have time to come to the east route.

Because everyone knew Guo Yazhi's responsibilities, when they saw the other person, everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Guo Yazhi looked a little angry and a little sad, and said softly: "Sanlang...is seriously injured, I'm afraid there is no cure."

"What?" Chen Yun stood up in shock and asked in disbelief, "Brother Sanlang has the cultivation level of a fairyland, and has also practiced Brother Erlang's "Eight Nine Mysterious Arts". Who could hurt him to such an extent?"

Nezha, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others all showed surprise. Black Mama, the Strange-Headed Goddess and Mr. Hu San might not know how powerful Huashan Sanlang is, but they must know it.

Huashan Sanlang, as the son of Emperor Jin Tianwang of Xiyue, is a natural immortal. In addition, he practiced Erlang Shen's "Eight-Nine Profound Art" after recovering from his injury. I dare not say that his cultivation level exceeds Guo Yazhi, but at least he is close. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the third most powerful warrior in Guanjiang Erlang Temple.

In addition, the characteristic of "Eight-Nine Profound Art" is that as long as the soul is not destroyed, the body can be reborn infinitely.

It can be said that as long as Huashan Sanlang does not kick the best among the immortals, or someone like the Half-Step Daluo, basically nothing will happen.

Now that he has been injured to the point where he cannot be healed, how powerful can the enemy be?

Guo Yazhi said with a gloomy face: "I wonder if Brother Chen knows that Sanlang was once married?"

Chen Yun naturally knew this and said, "I heard that Brother Sanlang was once married to the Goddess of the North Sea."

There was one more thing he didn't say, which was that after the North Sea Goddess married Huashan Sanlang, she said, "I am not a human being, the new wife of Huashan Sanlang, and my husband is extremely evil. My home is in the North Sea, and I have not had any letters for three years, which is why I am especially despised by my father-in-law." Later, the mortal Zhang Weishan delivered the letter and beat up Jin Tianwang and Huashan Sanlang together with the North Sea God.

In short, in the myth, Huashan Sanlang used "cold violence" against the North Sea Goddess, who wanted a divorce but refused, and finally met with misfortune. That is, Huashan Sanlang was seriously injured and had to rely on the elixir given to Chen Yun by Zhongli Quan to save his life.

Guo Yazhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Sanlang was once married to the North Sea Goddess, but this matter is actually full of dirtiness."

Chen Yun knew that Guo Yazhi would not make unwarranted remarks at this time, so he did not interrupt and listened quietly.

The same was true for Nezha, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others; no one made a sound.

Guo Yazhi slowly said, "As for what is so filthy, we have to start with the true identity of the North Sea God. The North Sea God's real name is Yu Qiang. He is a subordinate god of the Northern Black Emperor, one of the Five Gods of Confucianism. Everyone should know that the Five Gods of Confucianism are now serving in Taoism, corresponding to the Five Elders of the Five Directions. Therefore, as a subordinate god of the Black Emperor, Yu Qiang himself has great magical powers and boundless magic power, and also possesses great power."

Chen Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he knew the situation of the Five Elders of the Five Directions in this world.

Guo Yazhi looked a little serious and said, "It's just that the Five Gods didn't become the gods of our Taoism from the beginning. At that time, the Taoist Heavenly Court rose, and King Jin was fortunate to become the Great Emperor of Xiyue. He had a high status and noble identity. Because of his admiration for Taoism, Na Yuqiang specially betrothed his daughter to Sanlang, the Goddess of Beihai. Originally, things were fine up to here. What happened was that later, the Five Gods became the Five Elders of the Five Directions of our Taoism, and Na Yuqiang no longer looked down on King Jin and Sanlang. However, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and he couldn't recall her for no reason. He could only spread a rumor that Sanlang was not good to the Goddess of Beihai, and then asked his sacred subordinate to transform into a mortal Zhang Weishan to pretend to deliver a message, and finally attacked Xiyue, ending this marriage."

Chen Yun frowned slightly when he heard this.

Nezha, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others also looked unhappy.

The same is true for outsiders such as Black Mother, Qishou Tiannv and Master Hu San.

These people had nothing to do with Huashan Sanlang, but they still thought that Yu Qiang had gone too far. You can imagine the situation. Guo Yazhi hadn't finished speaking yet. He sighed and continued, "Yu Qiang originally wanted to use the stepping stone of Jin Tianwang to enter Taoism. Later, he really entered Taoism and did such a thing. Isn't it particularly dirty?"

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, as a rough man... a demon, was a little angry and said, "This North Sea God is really not a human son. It's fine if you want to break off the engagement with your own betrothed daughter, but you also slandered Huashan Sanlang and even attacked Xiyue. This is too much."

Chen Yun also thinks so. You flattered him in the beginning and married your daughter to him, but later you regretted it when you became prominent. You also spread rumors and slandered Huashan Sanlang, and even beat up Jin Tianwang. How can that be logical?

Guo Yazhi sighed and said, "I can't help it. The situation is stronger than me. Yu Qiang's magic power is too high, and he has the Black Emperor as his backer. We are no match for him. This time is no exception. Yu Qiang heard that Sanlang was cured, and he has been unhappy, but he can't find an excuse to hurt him. As a result, he learned that Sanlang participated in the Conferred God War, so he secretly disguised himself as a cultivator who had not yet achieved immortality, hiding in Liu Zhiyuan's army, and suddenly gave Sanlang a fatal blow. Poor Sanlang, he is in danger."

Chen Yun said with great loyalty: "I will go to Penglai to ask the master to save Brother Sanlang."

Guo Yazhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's impossible to save him. King Jin has already begged all the gods in the sky. Some gods are unable to save him, and those who are able to save him are afraid to do so due to their status and magical powers. Therefore, King Jin and Brother Erlang can only rely on their own great magical powers to temporarily keep Sanlang alive and see if they can find a magic medicine to save him."

Chen Yun roughly understood what the other party meant. "Brother Guo, do you mean that it was Brother Erlang who asked you to come here to say goodbye to us?"

Guo Yazhi hummed and said, "Brother Erlang is the most loyal. He couldn't bear to see Sanlang die, so he wanted to venture into the chaos to see if he could find a elixir that could save him. He said it would take him a year or so, so he would like to ask for your forgiveness, Brother Chen. He can't continue this battle for the time being."

Huashan Sanlang is in danger, how could everyone present not understand Erlang Shen's actions?
Chen Yun immediately said, "I understand. Let Brother Erlang lead the others to retreat first, and I will take over the rest."

Guo Yazhi forced a smile and said, "I'm glad that Brother Chen can understand. I'll go back and report."

After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.

After everyone left, Chen Yun looked at Nezha, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

He said slowly: "Li Tianwang, the Third Prince, Niu Dawang, and General Guan, Brother Erlang has temporarily stopped the fighting, and I don't have enough manpower..."

Before he finished speaking, Nezha said righteously, "Brother Chen, don't worry. Lack of manpower is not a problem. I will go and summon all the ninety-six cave demons that I have subdued. They will definitely help you win this battle."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King followed closely behind and said, "I also have some friends with extraordinary magic skills. If Master Chen needs them, I am willing to go and invite them out of the mountain."

Not only these two people said so, even Li Jing, who had not contributed much before, showed a serious look and said: "Master Chen, as the saying goes, quality is the most important thing. Although I will not invite many people to help, if you really encounter any trouble, I can ask one of my mentors who taught me the art of war to help you."

These words were rather vague, but how could Chen Yun not know who Li Jing was talking about?

According to mythology, the one who taught Li Jing the art of war was the Queen Mother of the West, who was known as the number one female god of war in Chinese mythology and whose strength was extraordinary.

Chen Yun knew why these people expressed such an attitude. Nezha might be really loyal, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and Li Jing might be more willing to do their best to help because they knew that the boss behind them was the Jade Emperor and wanted to tie him down completely on this galactic battleship.

But this time he was not prepared to continue participating in the war.

Because Chen Yun knew very well that without the many sacred "permanent residents" of Erlang Shen in the Guanjiang Temple, it would be impossible for him to advance on both the east and west routes at the same time.

The Jade Emperor has given you a list of quite a few sacred beings, but all of those beings are of high status and noble identity. Who would give you a permanent place to stay?
"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Yun said calmly, "But I think we should not continue this war, so please go back to your respective dojos and rest for a year or two. When Brother Erlang is done with his work, we can continue to fight."

The Qishou Goddess's face changed.

Cult leaders such as Heima Mama and Master Hu San also frowned.

As the local immortals of Northeast China, they naturally hoped that the Khitan people in their territory could dominate the world.

If Chen Yun retreated, they would not have the strength to contend against the sacredness of Emperor Ziwei.

Although Nezha, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others were also puzzled by Chen Yun's decision, they knew that he would not say that for no reason. They all expressed their understanding and agreed immediately.

In the end, Nezha and Li Jing returned to Buddhism, while Guan Ping expressed his desire to continue following Chen Yun.

What was surprising was that the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King also expressed his desire to practice with Chen Yun.

……

Make your decision.

Chen Yun knew it was time to have a chat with Yelu Deguang.

Although he was the one who instigated this war, it seemed immoral to retreat at this time, but Yelu Deguang was disobedient, so Chen Yun thought it would be a good idea to give him a warning.

He came out of the living room and went straight to find Yelu Deguang who was scolding Zhao Yanshou and Zhao Yanzhao in the study.

Yelu Deguang knew that Chen Yun would not come to him for no reason, so he quickly dismissed Zhao Yanshou and Zhao Yanzhao.

When there were only two people left in the room, Chen Yun said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

Yelu Deguang didn't know what was going to happen yet, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, please speak, I am all ears."

Chen Yun looked deep in his eyes and said, "I think this war should not continue. You'd better negotiate a temporary peace with the Jin court and see if you can get them to cede territory and pay compensation as they promised before."

"Ah?" Yelu Deguang was completely stunned. He asked in panic, "Mr. Chen, did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Chen Yun shook his head and said, "No, it is the will of heaven. If you promise me that you can fight again next year, I will still go all out. As for this year... I am afraid I can no longer help. Of course, if your majesty insists on continuing to attack Jin Ting, the shamans, the horse-riding immortals and other immortals are all here, you can still give it a try. Now I have something to do in Penglai, your majesty, please consider it yourself."

After saying this, he didn't even give Yelu Deguang a chance to speak. He performed a teleportation spell and disappeared in the study.

Seeing this, Yelu Deguang's face turned extremely ugly and he was worried to the extreme. He still thought that Chen Yun suddenly acted like this because he had been disobedient before, so the other party was unwilling to help him.

This made Yelu Deguang feel a little regretful. If he had known that Chen Yun had such a strong character, he should not have disobeyed!

Chen Yun didn't know what Yelu Deguang was thinking. To be honest, after learning today that the people from Erlang Temple in Guanjiang had retreated, he no longer had to hesitate and knew what to do next.

That's right, after asking Dong Wanggong if there is any way to rescue Huashan Sanlang, he calmed down and impacted the fairyland!
