The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan was in a very bad situation. He fed the devil with his body and sacrificed himself to the devil sword. Man and devil became one. If it weren't for his profound magical powers, both his body and soul would have been sucked into the sword!

Although the power of the Heavenly Demon Sword is extraordinary, it is still limited. The main reason is that after he merges with the devil, the power it exerts by burning his life is too great.

Shi Feiyang estimated that if he sacrificed himself, he would first merge with the Nine-Child Mother Demon, and then merge with the Nine Immortal Swords to achieve human-sword unity, and he should be able to kill Udumbara.

But in that case, it would not be humans controlling the devil, but the devil controlling humans.

He had given Master Taiyi Hunyuan a Nuxuan Pill beforehand. The powerful medicinal power produced a large amount of essence and energy, which prevented Master Taiyi Hunyuan from being sucked dry by the magic sword. Essence and energy are the roots of the soul. With essence and energy, the soul has soil to grow.

Xu Fei'niang used elixir to reconnect the severed arm of Master Taiyi Hunyuan. Looking at the unconscious and possessed person, she and Sikong Zhan were helpless and could only count on Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang carefully checked the condition of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, and then said carefully: "He seems to be unconscious now, but in fact his mind is in turmoil, and his main consciousness is submerged in the boundless sea of ​​distracting thoughts. I have sealed the magic sword and cut off the part of him that merged with Chiyou's soul, but they still have telepathy."

Shi Feiyang took out two elixirs and gave them both to take. He asked them to go into seclusion in the cave. He wanted Xu Feiniang to have a telepathic connection with Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch. The power of the connection must be greater than the telepathic connection between Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch and the Demon Sword, so as to bring back his main consciousness.

Xu Fei Niang gave the elixir to Master Taiyi Hunyuan and ate it herself. Then she took Master Taiyi Hunyuan into the cave, dropped the Dragon-Breaking Stone and went into seclusion.

There are many Taoist temples on Mount Wutai. In the huge sect, only a few disciples who are responsible for cleaning are left, and they can't even fly swords. There is only one sword immortal left, and that is Sikong Zhan.

Of course, Sikong Zhan also has the sisters Fang Yurou and Fang Yuhuan, and his disciples also died in the Xingxiu Sea this time.

The Emei sect sent out only the elders this time, while the younger generations stayed at home. Even disciples like Zhuge Jingwo who had practiced for many years did not come. As a result, the Mesozoic generation suffered heavy casualties, while the younger generation was able to survive.

All members of the Wutai sect were mobilized, leaving only three old guys, and the rest were all killed.

Not only did the Wutai Sect suffer a heavy blow, but the Huashan Sect next door was even worse. Even the founder of Liehuo went to Xiji Mountain to join the Xiji Sect at the invitation of his good friend Shang Heyang, and took the remaining disciples with him. Currently, there are not many people on Huashan Mountain. In recent years, only some mortal martial artists have gone there to build houses and recruit disciples. It is said that there is a person with very powerful swordsmanship, known as the Divine Sword Immortal Ape, but in fact he does not know how to control the sword, and can only dominate among ordinary people...

There must be someone on Mount Wutai, so Sikong Zhan did not return to Mount Dongting, but stayed here to take charge of the sect.

He was devastated this time when the Twelve Secret Demonic Thunders of the Heavens were taken away. He wanted to ask Shi Feiyang for advice, but he couldn't do it, so he had to figure it out on his own.

Shi Feiyang also asked for a cave dwelling, the kind with a sword furnace. He first cast a spell to refine the sword furnace, and then put the Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Sword in it, refining it with civil and martial fire.

Chi You's soul was communicating with Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch remotely inside, while attacking Shi Feiyang with his divine consciousness in an attempt to control him.

Shi Feiyang tried everything he could to make the ancient emperor surrender, but failed. He could only imprint 360 golden talismans of the heavens on the sword, suppressing him like a cage and restricting much of his power.

After dealing with the sword, he walked out of the cave and looked at the empty Mount Wutai. He thought that the death of all the disciples of Wutai Sect this time was a good thing, as it was equivalent to cleaning up the door for Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan in disguise. If he wanted to accept disciples again in the future, he had to make them follow some rules and regulations.

He calculated silently and set a rule.

More than fifty days later, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch and Xu Fei'niang came out of retreat. Both of them had lost a lot of vitality, especially Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, whose face was pale, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness.

The two men first expressed their gratitude to Shi Feiyang very solemnly. If it weren't for him this time, the Wutai Sect would have been defeated and killed.

The Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect had an appointment for a third sword fight. When talking about the matter of accepting disciples in the future, Shi Feiyang advised the three people: "The source of your sword fight with the Emei Sect was due to the fighting and killing between disciples. The hatred accumulated deeper and deeper, and finally reached a point where it could not be controlled.

According to the performance of some of your Wutai sect's disciples, such as Yue Qinbin who refined the Divine Infant Sword and Long Fei who refined the Nine Sons Mother Ghost Sword, if I met them, I would have to eliminate them. This is why we became enemies. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xu's great wisdom, who was able to turn enemies into friends, I don't know what would happen today."

His words made Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch break out in a cold sweat. He remembered that when Yue Qinbin was refining the Divine Infant Sword in Xiandu Mountain, he ran back crying in a very embarrassed manner, saying that his two junior brothers, Master Furong Sun Fu and Master Fire Wing Vajra Hu Shi, were killed by a black dragon. Later he deduced that it was Shi Feiyang.

At that time, most of the disciples demanded revenge on Shi Feiyang, but Xu Feiniang stood out from the crowd and analyzed the pros and cons to her many times in person and in letters. Only then did she become friends with Shi Feiyang.

He thought about it and realized that if he was now an enemy of Shi Feiyang, and if he was also an enemy of the Emei Sect, he would have been destroyed by now!

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan also experienced a life-and-death catastrophe this time. He looked at Xu Fei Niang with gratitude, sighed, and said that he must reorganize the rules of the sect and strictly accept disciples in the future.

"Your skills should also be revised. You can't pass everything on to your disciples." Shi Feiyang said the method he had thought of beforehand, "The Wutai Sect's Taoism you practiced is a mixture of Taoism and magic. Later, you also got the "Chiyou Sanpan Sutra", which has too many mixtures and many of them are not suitable for disciples to practice. If the three Taoist friends don't mind my shallow Taoism and weak power, I can help your sect comprehend and reorganize it and revise the Taoist book."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch and Xu Fei Niang immediately expressed their welcome!

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan was able to exchange knowledge with the Huashan Sect and comprehend the Dutian Fiery Array together. The two sects were as close as one and were very open-minded about the exchange of Taoism.

Sikong Zhan did not object. After the battle at Xingxiu Sea, he had already recognized Shi Feiyang's strength. He wanted to ask Shi Feiyang a lot of things, but he just couldn't save his face. Now he had an excuse!
Part of the Wutai School's skills were passed down from his master, part of them were obtained from Taoist books that Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch got accidentally in the past, and the rest were all created by him over hundreds of years. They include both Taoism and demonism. Taoism is a side path, and demonism is an unorthodox path. They were all mixed together. Relying on these things, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch created the Wutai School that could compete with the Emei School in swordplay. This is enough to show that his talent and understanding are truly one in a million.

Shi Feiyang first read through all the Taoist scriptures and scrolls, and then began to compile Taoist books.

He named the book "Taiyi Hunyuan Jing", which is also divided into three volumes: the first volume talks about the doctrine, the middle volume talks about the law, and the last volume talks about the technique.

The opening chapter emphasizes the role of Tao: "A person's ultimate achievement depends entirely on the foundation of Tao. If the foundation of Tao is deep, the future is bright. If you can understand the Tao thoroughly, you can create any technique as you wish and apply any magic to the situation. Moreover, even if you go astray along the way, you can correct it yourself. Putting more emphasis on techniques and less on Tao is the first drawback of cultivation!"

He began to compile the first volume of Taoist scriptures. All the skills of the Wutai School emphasized techniques over Taoism, including the Taoist book obtained by Master Taiyi Hunyuan, which also had very little description about Taoism.

Shi Feiyang extracted all the existing Wutai Sect works, counting them as two copies, and then added some of his own ideas about the Way of Heaven, and compiled ten chapters, from "Knowing", to "Awakening", to "Seeing the Way", "Proving the Way", "Achieving the Way", and finally "Combining the Way", with a total of 100,000 words. The first part is particularly detailed, and the latter part becomes more and more concise, with the last "Combining the Way" chapter having only 28 formulas.

When he was writing the second part, he suddenly said to Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch: "The Wutai Sect is now empty, without even a disciple to serve." Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch said: "Then I will go down the mountain to recruit a few disciples."

Shi Feiyang waved his hands quickly: "No, no! You can't accept disciples carelessly. After going through so many hardships, haven't you learned your lesson?"

Actually, what he said was a bit harsh, but Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He already regarded Shi Feiyang as his savior, and he would not refute anything Shi Feiyang said.

"I calculated for you earlier that a man will come from the Gansu-Shaanxi Road today. He is a young man in his early twenties. He was originally a scholar and is now searching for immortals and learning the way. He is a promising talent. He will arrive in Taiyuan at twilight tomorrow. You can go find him and take him under your wing. I guarantee he will be better than your previous disciples."

Actually, it is enough to say these. Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan can also calculate himself, which is enough to find the person through these known clues.

He personally went down the mountain to find his disciple. Shi Feiyang continued to write Taoist books and practice martial arts. He also wrote "Ten Chapters", a total of four major Taoist methods and twelve minor side methods.

After reading it, Xu Fei Niang clapped her hands in amazement: "Many of the original shortcomings were eliminated when I was practicing, relying on perseverance and persistence, plus some opportunities to practice, but I couldn't teach my disciples to achieve them. Daoist friend has made up for all these problems, not only eliminating the shortcomings, but also achieving many new wonderful results."

She was so excited as she read that she picked up a pen and began to make notes, explaining every sentence written by Shi Feiyang. She had practiced for hundreds of years and was knowledgeable and experienced, with great Taoist skills. Her notes always got to the point and made people suddenly realize the truth.

The second volume also has 100,000 words, and then I started writing the third part.

At this time, Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan came back with two young men, one named Fang Ying and the other Yuan Hao.

The two were good friends with similar ideals. They had admired the idea of ​​immortals since childhood. At the age of 20, they gave up the imperial examinations, ran away from home, and traveled thousands of miles in search of immortals and Taoism.

Later, the two of them separated to search, and swore to heaven that whoever achieved enlightenment first would come to save the other.

Yuan Hao went eastward from Gansu and Shaanxi and first went to Huashan, where he found that there were many martial artists practicing boxing and kicking. The new leader of Huashan Sect, "Divine Sword Immortal Ape", saw that he had good aptitude and wanted to take him in as a disciple.

He asked the "Divine Sword Immortal Ape": "I just want to learn the magic method of sending out a flying sword just by pointing your finger. If you can do it, I will kowtow and become your disciple immediately."

The result was naturally no, so he went down Mount Hua again and went all the way to Luliang, Zhongtiao, Wutai, and Hengshan to look for him. When Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan arrived in Taiyuan, he intercepted him and truly demonstrated his sword-controlling technique.

Yuan Hao pointed to a piece of scorched yellow land and asked Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch to send down a rain to alleviate the drought.

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan used the cloud-blowing method to attract a white cloud, which then caused a moderate rain. Only then did Yuan Hao happily become his disciple.

After paying homage to his master, Yuan Hao said that he had a good friend named Fang Ying, who was much smarter and more intelligent than himself and was also devoted to Taoism.

The Wutai Sect was short of people, so Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan took him to look for Fang Ying again. After calculations, they found the person in Xikongtong.

Fang Ying had actually found the seven golden tablets and fifty-four jade pages left behind by Guangchengzi in Xikongtong. All of them were inscribed with ancient seal characters and runes from ancient times. He was still guessing what they meant.

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan brought Yuan Hao down from the sky. Fang Ying was very happy to see them. She became Yuan Hao's disciple together and presented the golden tablet and jade page to him.

Even the Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch could only recognize about one-tenth of the ancient seal characters on the talismans, and the rest were obscure and difficult to understand, so he had to guess.

He calculated that this book would pass through the eyes of a destined person every 490 years. After the person who got the book studied it carefully, he must bury it back in the stone cave where it was originally discovered and seal it with magic. Otherwise, if the book is taken out of the cave, it will be blown away by the wind and the person will suffer a strange disaster.

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan memorized the contents of the book, buried it and sealed it again, and then brought the two back to Mount Wutai.

After returning to the mountain, he wrote down all the words on the gold tablets and jade pages from memory. When Shi Feiyang took a look, he not only recognized every word, but also understood the meaning of every sentence.

The techniques described here can help one become a celestial being if followed step by step, but they are rather simple overall and are probably similar to the techniques that Li Jingxu taught Lu Min.

However, many of the spells recorded later were indeed powerful, especially the talismans on the seven golden slips, a total of forty-nine, which, together with the full map on the previous jade page, exactly matched the number of Dayan. Shi Feiyang verified them with the three alchemy classics he had learned and the Zhoutian Divine Talismans, and integrated them into his own knowledge, and suddenly he had a lot of insights.

He translated the things in the book and played it to five masters and disciples of the Wutai School, adding a lot of explanations during the process. He then incorporated the contents of the book into the "Taiyi Hunyuan Jing" which was being compiled.

The upper part has 100,000 words, the middle part has 100,000 words, and the lower part is much longer, involving various aspects such as refining talismans, refining swords, refining weapons, refining elixirs, formations, and escape techniques.

Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch is a great master who has practiced for hundreds of years and has learned a wide range of knowledge. Xu Feiniang and Sikong Zhan also have excellent aptitudes and comprehension. The three of them have their own creations, all of which are included in the book.

Shi Feiyang deleted all the refining methods of the "Divine Infant Sword" and the "Ghost Sword" and did not include them in his collection. He also did not include the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Hundred Spirits Sword. However, he helped the three of them to create refining methods such as the "Five Fire Thunder Sword" and the "Taiyi Yin and Yang Sword".

As for magic spells and magical weapons, he also discarded all the "Six-Six True Essence Gourd" and added some mysterious and righteous things.

This second part has as many as 800,000 words, and together with the first two parts, the number of words exceeds one million. It is divided into thirty volumes and was kept in the cave by Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan to be used for teaching new disciples in the future.

Shi Feiyang said to Fang Ying and Yuan Hao: "I was the one who introduced you two to the mountain. You and I have some affinity. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me."

The two of them hurriedly thanked him and called him uncle-master.

Shi Feiyang took out a golden sword and two golden spears, both from the Yuanjiang Golden Ship, and gave each of them a magic weapon that they had refined themselves. (End of this chapter)
