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

Chapter 699 Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl
As expected, Tieguai Li returned in defeat.

Despite this, the word "Yang" written by Lu Dongbin on his hand was not used.

After all, Tieguai Li is a disciple of Laojun. Even if he cannot defeat the Sun Emperor, he still has three treasures that can protect his life.

Chen Yun, Erlang Shen, Guan Erye and others, seeing that Li Tieguai was defeated, immediately stepped forward to express their condolences, and then returned to Yingzhou City, preparing to think of a way to break the Sun Formation.

It was noon, and it was cloudy outside with no sunlight.

In the meeting room on the left, Chen Yun sat in a chair with a frown on his face.

The two "deputy commanders" Li Jing and Guan Erye had the same expression as him.

As for the others, although they did not frown like Chen Yun, Li Jing and others, their faces did not look very good either.

Li Tieguai had the second highest fighting power among all the people present, but he was unable to break the Sun Emperor's formation. It would be even more impossible for others except Lu Dongbin who couldn't take action.

Without breaking the Sun Formation, the Khitan army would not be able to rebuild the Zhongdu Bridge and march south.

This solar array was like a roadblock that prevented the Khitan from destroying the Later Jin Dynasty.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was frozen for a long time, and was finally broken by Li Jing's long sigh, "Alas, it seems we have to ask for help."

"Yes."

"Otherwise, with our cultivation level, it would not be enough to break the formation."

"Everyone, do you know anyone with great magical powers who can help break the solar formation?"

Erlang Shen, Lord Ma Wangye, Zhang Guolao and others were all talking over there.

Chen Yun also knew that he had to ask for external assistance. He had originally thought of relying on his own strength to break the Nine Stars God formation, but he didn't expect that he would still have to ask for help in the end.

At this time, everyone was discussing who to ask for help.

Nezha looked at Erlang Shen and said, "Second brother, you are very righteous and know many people. Can you think of someone who can break the formation?"

Everyone looked towards Erlang Shen. Everyone knew that what he was most famous for was not his profound cultivation, but his wide connections and many brothers.

Erlang Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Among the people I know, there are some whose cultivation is not inferior to that of the Sun Emperor, but even if their cultivation is similar, they may not be able to break the formation."

Tieguai Li nodded in agreement and said, "King Chicheng is right. My cultivation is similar to that of Emperor Taiyang, but after entering the formation, I found that it is extremely vicious and I have no power to resist it. In my opinion, we should either find someone who knows about this formation to break it, or we can only ask a half-step Daluo to break it. Otherwise, I am afraid that we really cannot break this formation."

As the one who broke into the formation, he knew the dangers best.

Chen Yun had enough reasons to believe that what Tieguai Li said was true.

In other words, unless he could invite someone who was familiar with the Star Array, he could only invite someone who was half-step Daluo.

Chen Yun was able to invite a half-step Daluo, such as his master Dong Wanggong, or Xi Wangmu.

It’s just that the opponent hasn’t even made a single step towards becoming a Daluo yet, and it seems a bit embarrassing for us to invite him here.

Therefore, before the other party sends out a Half-Step Daluo, it would be better for him not to invite a Half-Step Daluo.

Suddenly, Jin Zha leaned close to Li Jing's ear and said something.

Immediately, Li Jing scolded, "Nonsense, how can we trouble her to do something like this?"

Jin Zha closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Chen Yun couldn't help but blink his eyes, guessing that Jin Zha had told Li Jing about someone who could break the formation. However, Li Jing was scolding Jin Zha and it was obvious that he was unwilling to ask this great god to come out and help, so he was too embarrassed to speak.

He was too embarrassed to ask, but someone else was too embarrassed to ask.

Nezha said directly, "Father, we are now following Mr. Chen to fight. If we can conquer the world, the first merit of the Conferred God War will all fall on us. Don't you want to get this credit? Did my elder brother recommend that god to you just now? Please tell us, father."

Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, Guan Erye and others looked at Li Jing.

The Monkey King, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, Wang E and others also had similar reactions.

The twenty-eight constellations sitting on the periphery, who were silent, also seemed a little curious.

Chen Yun did the same, looking at Li Jing, wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

Li Jing shook his head helplessly and said, "I have an elder who can indeed break the Sun Formation, but it is not appropriate to ask her to come out."

Nezha asked: "Why?"

Li Jing said: "Because she is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"indeed."

"The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is of noble status, how could she come here to break a solar array?"

"There's no need to bother her with this kind of thing. Let's think of someone else."

Erlang Shen, Tieguai Li, Ma Wangye and others nodded in agreement with Li Jing's words.

Chen Yun also thought so in his heart. The status of the Queen Mother of the West among the Taoist female immortals is second only to that of the Queen Mother of the West. She can be said to be one of the top ones.

In addition, the Queen Mother of the West is one of the rare female war gods in Taoism. If she were to take action, she would not take the mere Sun Array seriously at all.

But then again, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is also half a step away from becoming a Daluo, how could she come here to break the formation?
As for why Li Jing knew the Queen Mother of the West and called her elder, it was because he had once studied military tactics with her and could barely be considered a disciple.

According to the annotations of "Xuanyuan Benji", "The art of war talks about Xuannv tactics. Duke Wei Li Jing used the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's tactics."

Li Jing mastered the Taoist magic here.

Chen Yun felt that if Li Jing went to invite Queen Mother of the West, she might come, but the favor would be huge, so how could he repay her?

So he didn't even think about it and was ready to throw out the idea of ​​asking the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens to break the formation.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Yun's mind. It was a bit embarrassing for the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens to come and break the Sun Formation, but it did not mean that there was no way to break the Sun Formation without the other party coming.

He remembered that the Queen Mother of the West was a female god of war who was proficient in various military tactics. Even the military tactics of Emperor Huang and Li Jing, the god of war, were taught by her. She must also be proficient in various battle formations.

Well, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is the originator of Qimen Dunjia. It’s not just a guess, but she is really proficient in it.

Chen Yun pondered, if he asked the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens for advice on how to break the Sun Formation, wouldn't it be possible for the other party to clear the obstacles without having to show up in person?
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to say, "Li Tianwang, can you write a letter and let me pay a visit to the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens?"

Li Jing frowned deeper and deeper and said, "Master Chen, didn't I just say that there's no need to ask the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens to come here for this kind of thing?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I am not asking the Queen to break the Sun Formation, but I want to ask her for advice on how to break the formation."

Li Jing suddenly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot that the queen is proficient in various formations. If I just ask her for advice, there should be no problem."

Erlang Shen's eyes lit up and he said, "If I can get your guidance, the solar array won't be a problem."

Li Tieguai, Han Xiangzi, Guan Erye and others thought the same.

Nezha took the opportunity to say, "Father, please write a letter and ask Brother Chen to meet the Queen."

Li Jing said: "Good, I will write a letter now, wait a moment."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and produced pen, ink, paper and inkstone, then he wrote the letter very solemnly, stroke by stroke.

After a while, Li Jing finished writing and handed the letter to Chen Yun, saying, "Master Chen, take this letter to Phoenix Mountain to pay respect to the Queen Mother."

Chen Yun took the letter and said, "Thank you, Heavenly King Li."

"It's okay." Li Jing waved his hand and reminded: "If you see the queen, be sure to greet her for me."

Chen Yun said: "Okay, I will convey it."

After saying this, he stood up and headed towards Phoenix Mountain. …

Phoenix Mountain belongs to the remnant of the Eastern Kunlun Mountains.

The mountain here looks like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, and is known as the "Nine Dragons Paying Homage to the Phoenix" holy land.

There are stories and legends about the Holy Mother of the West, the Lady of the Nine Heavens, and the Emperor Xuanyuan among the people.

Chen Yun came to this mountain, stared at it for a while, and found that there were thick green trees and shades, birds singing and flowers blooming. It is the Dragon Gate and Fengque of Kunlun Mountain, which connects to Xuan Ji and has prosperous earth veins, so it is the root of heaven and earth.

He retracted his gaze and said loudly: "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang from the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. I have come here to ask to see the goddess."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mist filled the Phoenix Mountain.

Rays of auspicious light shone, and gradually an extremely huge "God's Gate" emerged.

A god in golden and silver armor bowed and said, "Excuse me, Master Chen. I am the gate god Xuanlong, responsible for guarding and transporting those who have attained enlightenment."

Chen Yun bowed in return and said, "General Xuanlong is polite."

Xuanlong stretched out his hand and said, "The queen is waiting inside, Master Chen, please follow me in."

Chen Yun said, "Please lead the way."

Auspicious clouds appeared under his feet and he flew towards the Divine Gate.

Arriving in front of the Divine Gate, Xuanlong stretched out his hand again and said, "Please."

Chen Yun said "thank you" and followed the other person.

Soon, he followed Xuanlong through Tongtian Road, Wanxiantai, Tianti Road, etc., and finally came to the Wuji Dragon and Phoenix Palace of the Queen Mother of the West.

When they reached the outside of the palace, Xuanlong stopped and said, "I can only lead you here, Master Chen, please wait here for a moment, and a fairy will lead you in later."

Chen Yun hurriedly thanked him again and then watched the other party leave.

He knew that the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens was of noble and distinguished status, so there was nothing wrong with asking him to wait for a while.

What he didn't expect was that he had to wait for an hour.

Finally, a fairy in a green dress walked out of the palace.

She walked up to Chen Yun and bowed, saying, "My name is Ah Qing, nice to meet Master Chen."

Hearing the self-proclaimed name, Chen Yun was startled and asked, "Excuse me, are you a Yue girl?"

The fairy smiled and said, "I never thought that I, who was so little known in the human world, would be so lucky to be known by the real person."

Chen Yun didn't expect that the fairy in front of him was actually a Yue girl, and he quickly bowed to show his solemnity.

Yuenu was a female swordsman during the Spring and Autumn Period. She was from the State of Yue, so she was called Yuenu.

The Vietnamese women are very skilled in swordsmanship.

When King Gou Jian of Yue was preparing to attack the State of Wu, his minister Fan Li recommended a Yue woman to him, so the King of Yue sent an envoy to Nanlin to invite her.

Legend has it that when the girl went to invite the emperor, she met an old man on the road who called himself Yuan Gong and asked to see her swordsmanship.

Lord Yuan took a dry bamboo from the forest and made it into a sword, and threw it at the Yue girl.

Before it hit the ground, it was easily caught by the Vietnamese woman.

The tree on Yuan Gongfei's body turned into a white ape and flew away.

This Yuan Gong was actually one of the two disciples of the Queen Mother of the West, the other one being Huangdi.

Therefore, Yuenu could barely be considered the "disciple" of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu. After her death, she came to Wuji Dragon and Phoenix Palace and eventually became a female fairy.

The Yue girl led the way and explained the situation to Chen Yun, "The Queen knew that Master Chen was coming, so she was preparing some things, so she kept you waiting for a long time."

Chen Yun then realized why he had waited for an hour to see someone. It turned out that the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens had already anticipated that he would seek a way to break the formation and had prepared things to help him.

As for why Lady Jiu Tian was willing to help, he could only think of two possibilities.

First, the other party could be considered Li Jing's master. When he learned that he was recommended by Li Jing, he was willing to give him some face.

Second, in Taoist mythology, the Lady of the Nine Heavens has a close relationship with the Queen Mother of the West. For example, in some myths and legends, the Lady of the Nine Heavens is the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, while in other myths and legends, she is the Queen Mother of the West's apprentice, and the black bird sits under her seat.

There are many legends about this, but without exception they all show that Lady of the West and Queen Mother of the West have a close relationship.

Therefore, Chen Yun felt that the Queen Mother of the West gave him preferential treatment when she learned that he was from the lineage of the Queen Mother of the West.

In addition, it is mentioned in the "Ancient Text Dragon and Tiger Classic Notes. Volume 1" that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is the spirit of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of yin and yang. The spirit is all-knowing and all-inclusive. She knows the feelings of all things and understands the state of all changes. She is the master of Tao Ao. The Mysterious Lady is also an ancient deity and the leader of all truths.

From this we can see how high the status of Lady of the West is in Taoism.

Soon, Chen Yun followed the Yue girl to the garden of the side hall.

There is a fairy standing next to the flowers in front.

She had an extraordinary and beautiful appearance, a dignified temperament and great majesty. She had her hair tied in a bun with nine dragons and flying phoenixes, and wore a golden silk gown, a long skirt tied with a Lantian jade belt, and colorful sleeves held up by a white jade sceptre. Her face was like a lotus calyx, her lips like a cherry, and she looked heroic.

There is no need to guess, to know that this female fairy must be the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens.

As expected, the Yue girl immediately stepped forward and said, "My lady, Master Chen is here."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Yun quickly bowed and said, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang from the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled and said, "No need to be polite. You and I are both from the same lineage of the Golden Mother. We are family members."

Chen Yun said: "Your Majesty is an elder, and etiquette cannot be abolished."

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu shook her head helplessly, "You are exactly like Zhong Li Quan, both of you are so rigid and boring."

Chen Yun sweated a little, not knowing how to respond to this sentence.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens continued to speak, "You came to ask me about the method of breaking the Sun Formation?"

Chen Yun said: "Reporting to the queen, I asked Li Tianwang to introduce me, and I really want to learn the method of breaking the sun array."

At this point, he added, "When I came here, Li Tianwang asked me to greet you."

"It's enough that he has this filial piety." Jiu Tian Xuan Nu showed a satisfied look on her face, and then said: "This solar array is easy for me to break, but it is a bit difficult for you, so I prepared a treasure for you, you can take it to break the array."

Chen Yun said: "Thank you, Madam."

"Don't be so anxious to thank me." The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens said, "Before you use my treasure, you need to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and pray respectfully, otherwise it will not work well."

Chen Yun understood as soon as he heard it, there was a spirit inside this treasure.

He said: "This junior will follow the teachings of the Empress."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens hummed, stretched out her hand and produced a fan, handed it to the Yue girl, and said, "Give it to Master Chen."

The girl took the white feather fan and responded, then walked to Chen Yun, presented the treasure with both hands, and said, "Master Chen, please keep this fan."

Chen Yun took it with both hands and asked, "May I ask, Madam, what is the mystery of this treasure fan, and how can I use it to break the formation?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens said, "My treasured fan is called the Rainbow Feather Wind Fan. I made it myself. It has three functions. First, it purifies the world. Second, it creates the beauty of an illusory world. Third, it creates an auspicious aura. I won't go into detail about the latter two mysteries for now. As for the purifying wind, it is enough to purify everything in the world. The mere solar array is nothing to worry about."
