Tao and Heaven

Chapter 152: All the powerful people take action together

The Yin Yang Sect's leader, Tianzun, descended to the Fire Cloud Cave in the flesh. He was the first top-level powerful person to descend in his true body instead of as a clone since the opening of the Immortal Land.

Compared to a demigod, it’s nothing, but so far no demigod has come in person.

All parties cheered, and for a moment the communication of divine thoughts in the Fire Cloud Cave became extremely chaotic.

Jun Yan eavesdropped for a long time, but he didn't hear anything very useful. It was nothing more than a quarrel within the Dao Sect. Some people thought that the personal presence of the Heavenly Lord would definitely force the Dao Sect to give up the benefits, while others thought that this would only intensify the conflict.

But Jun Yan had no way of finding out why the Yin Yang Sect's Tianzun ended up like this, and he didn't dare to directly eavesdrop on the Tianzun's thoughts and conversations.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please come over and have a gathering."

At this time, He Huan's spiritual thoughts came, and Jun Yan's spiritual clone hiding in Lu Chan also heard it.

Lu Chan followed his divine sense and came to a simple cave in the ancient town of Huoyun Cave.

Surrounded by rough stone walls, the entire house is carved out of the rock. A room like this requires one elixir a month.

Everyone gathered, with He Huan leading the way, Murong Suyue and He Qing sitting on each side, and Lu Chan was the last person.

Jun Yan secretly observed, and he still felt that this small team was too mixed, and the reasons for gathering were too weak. Whether it was out of consideration for friendship, or for the sake of selling favors and making friends with Gu Wen, these were not necessary reasons.

Unless life and death is in Gu Wen's hands, Jun Yan will not trust anyone here.

He Huan naturally didn't know that there was a descendant of the Demon Sect hiding in secret, so he got straight to the point and said, "The ancestor just summoned me. The good news is that these old guys don't know the relationship between Gu Wen and me, maybe my master didn't report it to the higher-ups. The bad news is that I don't know what's wrong with this old guy, and now he wants to personally go out to encircle and suppress the Three Pure Ones Sect."

This statement stunned everyone, and then everyone looked puzzled without exception.

As a Taoist sect, is it appropriate for you to openly encircle and suppress the leader of the Taoist sect?

Moreover, is the Yin Yang Sect so powerful that it can cause other sects to fall out with the Dao Sect?

Jun Yan thought it was very reasonable, because this was a place for becoming immortals, not a place for practicing cultivation.

The sects could not send out a large number of flying boats and cultivators to crush the enemy with numbers, and only high-level strongmen could go in and out. They were called major sects, but in fact, most of the middle and lower levels did not know what was going on, and they did not need to do anything.

The old guy just needs to take action, and old guys lack lifespan, and the elixir of immortality can greatly increase their lifespan.

The logic is so simple. Those who don’t want to die can give it a try. Besides, doesn’t this mean you have a clone?
Jun Yan could understand what these Taoist masters were thinking, but he still felt it was stupid. Just like how the five signs of decline in the heavenly beings could lead to Alzheimer's disease, these people began to stop thinking without using their brains.

Unless all the Taoist gods die in their true form, it would be impossible to do anything to the goddess.

So why did the Yin Yang Tianzun's true form die?
Lu Chan raised questions about this.

He Huan didn't know either, so he shook his head and replied, "The old guy has plenty of life left, and I don't know what has gotten him crazy. But that's the way it is. Now that this old guy is pushing forward, the Taoist elders will soon form a siege against Brother Hong Chen."

Murong Suyue asked: "How can we help?"

"No, but we can file a complaint, for example, have our master go to the Yin Yang Sect to complain."

He Huan's answer was so sincere that it left everyone speechless.

"This is not good."

"What's wrong? My master will take the lead immediately."

The next day, a voice came from the sky and spread throughout the Fire Cloud Cave.

"In the Dao sect, harmony is the most important thing, and we should all study the mysteries together. What is the reason that Master Xuanyuan is saying today?"

The young man in Taoist robes who had descended a few days ago frowned, looked up into the sky, and said, "Xuan Yunzi, do I need to ask you about my actions?"

The sect was divided into two factions, the Yin and Yang factions. He belonged to the Yin faction, while Xuan Yunzi belonged to the Yang faction. Xuan Yunzi was a little weaker than him back then, so he became the head teacher.

He has been unwilling to accept the result all these years, so it is normal for him to be angry now.

But Xuanyuan had to take this step.

"I only know why the headmaster attacked fellow Taoist practitioners and committed such an unjust act. Brother headmaster, please repent and don't make the same mistake again."

"Xuan Yunzi, I will give you an explanation later."

Xuan Yuan felt the gazes from all sides, as well as the attention that Xuan Yunzi's loud announcement outside the sky had attracted, and his heart was beating increasingly nervous.

"Master, you can come up first and explain later. Otherwise, even though you are the master, I can ask the sect to prove your guilt!"

Xuan Yunzi's voice suddenly became tough, Xuan Yuan's face was gloomy, and then he turned and left without arguing.
-
South water, cave heaven.

At this moment, Gu Wen was holding the Taiyin Order to inform and consult Yu Hua. The latter held the token and rubbed it for a long time before he figured out some clues.

"The Taiyin Method is one of the thirty-six methods of becoming an immortal. It is also the oldest method of becoming an immortal. The immortals who achieved this method are now nowhere to be found. It is so old that even its effects are hard to find. You can only know its specific effects after you comprehend it."

Yu Hua returned the Taiyin Order to Gu Wen. Although he already knew about his talent, he couldn't help but remind him at this moment:
"I don't recommend you to practice Taiyin Method now. You should at least wait until you have mastered the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill."

"I know."

Gu Wen put away the token with a little disappointment. If he didn't know the strength and effectiveness of the Taiyin method, he wouldn't be able to determine the priority of his practice.

He does not have too much Tiansui, and in order to deal with various things, he needs to maximize the utility of Tiansui every time he uses it.

Afterwards, Gu Wen chatted with Yu Hua for a while, and when he saw that she was beginning to feel sleepy again, he said goodbye and left, then went out and found the room where Akabane was.

He has reached the sixth level of the golden elixir, and to go any further he will need Chiyuzi's unique secret recipe to break through.

[Seventh rank golden elixir, above perfection, requires one hundred and ten years of refining with golden elixir as strong as iron]

The golden elixir was as hard as iron, and Gu Wen could only think of eating Chiyu and the spirit sword.

Akabaneko's room was a few dozen meters away. Gu Wen came to the door and pushed it open.

I saw a short-haired girl sitting cross-legged on the ground. The attire of a disciple of the Yu Jian Sect had changed into a tube top and shorts-style robe. Her whole body was wrapped in the True Fire of Angri, and through the True Fire, every inch of her muscles looked like a work of art.

I don't know if it's the magic of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, but Chi Yuzi and Murong Suyue are both practicing body cultivation. But the former's muscles are not as strong, but the outline is more obvious, which does not affect the overall figure.

Sensing Gu Wen, she slowly opened her eyes, her orange-red pupils were even more fiery than the Sun's True Fire.

"You came just in time. Stab me a few times with your magic sword."

Gu Wen pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "What's going on?"

"My body is biting back. My soul and spirit cannot control this body, just like a piece of iron soaked in sea water."

Akabane clenched her fist with a smile on her face, without any sign of frustration.

"But I have already achieved the initial stage of cultivating the immortal body, so this problem is just a matter of time."

"The Immortal Dao Body can cure your illness? Who told you that?"

"Elders of the sect, if even the Immortal Method can't cure it, then there may be no other way in the world. Please help me suppress the erosion of my body first, otherwise, if it hurts, will you give me some wine to drink?"

Akabane lay down with her eyes slightly closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"It's not you who got stabbed, why are you being so fussy?"

You are the only one who is stubborn.

Gu Wen stepped forward and condensed the magic sword, then skillfully pierced the girl's snow-white skin with the magic sword.

Accompanied by a low cry of pain, a flash of blood appeared.

Akabane's fingers sank deeply into the ground, and with a slight claw, traces of mud appeared on the floor. Every inch of flesh in her body was trembling.

Gu Wen didn't know how painful it was to be pierced by the immortal sword. The only thing he could do was to look away and not violate Chi Yuzi's will to live. After a long time, the groan of pain gradually disappeared. Chi Yuzi collapsed on the ground, sweating all over. His robes began to stretch and turned into the clothes of a disciple of the Yu Jian Sect again.

This is done because if the sword pierces the clothes, they will be really ruined, and the robes cannot be restored.

Akabane looked at Gu Wen pitifully and asked, "Is there any wine?"

"No, but there should be one in the town before."

"Go get me some."

"I'm going to go out for a while and I can get it for you."

Gu Wen did not refuse. He really had to go out because he had no more demon pills or demon meat spirit medicine to eat.

Recently, there have been many sightings of monsters nearby, probably because of Tushan Snow.

There may be connections between the monsters, so naturally someone would come to investigate if Tu Shanxue suddenly disappeared. However, the cave is hundreds of miles away from the town, which is beyond the range of most people's spiritual detection.

What’s more, there is a layer of cave between them, and several little demons tried to find the entrance but failed.

"There is one more thing. The magical power of the Six-turn Golden Pill seems to be able to greatly enhance strength, but the specific effect is a bit vague."

[The Six-turn Golden Elixir Divine Power "Xuanpin", Xuanpin establishes its roots, regulates the five energies, and blends the hundreds of spirits. ]

"Xuanpin is the center of heaven and earth, with a hole suspended in the air, opening and closing at the right time, moving and being still naturally."

Akabane spoke in a weak voice, mumbling something as she explained the mystery to Gu Wen.

The teacher leads you to the door, and the practice depends on the individual, and often the entry is the most difficult. With Akabane as a senior, Gu Wen saved a lot of time in exploration.

Xuanpin is not a fighting technique, but a magical power that moistens things silently and stimulates all the skills of the body to maximize their performance.

In Gu Wen's opinion, it is the spiritual practice version of adrenaline. People cannot perform at 100% all the time, but the Xuanpin magical power can enable people to reach their best state instantly.

And even if he is seriously injured, as long as he is not missing any limbs, he can still maintain his best condition.

Gu Wen roughly understood why he didn't feel any difference when using Xuanpin, because in normal state there were no injuries or other negative states, he just felt his body was more relaxed.

“It doesn’t feel as strong as I thought.”

Gu Wen commented that he knew its importance, but it was a bit too weak compared to the magical powers.

There is no such power that can reach the sky and penetrate the earth.

"Xuanpin has a higher level of use, which can temporarily elevate you to a higher realm."

"Teach me."

A ray of divine thought came, mixed with the various applications of the Sixth Rank Golden Elixir Divine Power. Chi Yuzi taught Gu Wen the experience that other cultivators regarded as a treasure without any hesitation.

[The Xuanpin is connected to the spirit, and regulates the five qi. One qi is one state, and ten years of Tiansui are required]

As soon as his mind moved, his celestial marrow was refined, and Gu Wen instantly gained many insights.

【Forty Years of Tiansui】

With the direction and path given by Akabane, Tiansui seemed to have turned into a road to heaven, allowing him to reach his destination in an instant.

What are the five elements? They are form, sound, smell, taste and touch.

The five energies correspond to the five senses. If one is damaged, all will be damaged. One sense is paid for in exchange for the strength of a higher level.

There are many Taoist methods that can be used to gain power at a certain price, but they are basically one-time use, and often the person will be half-crippled after using it once. Especially those that can directly upgrade to a higher realm, basically, it is an effect that can only be achieved by not planning to live.

Otherwise, how can a person who has only practiced for a hundred years to build the foundation shake the person who has practiced for five hundred years to build the golden elixir?
The average numbers between different realms start at several times, which is why those who can cross levels are called geniuses.

To reach the Xuanpin divine state, one only needs to give a sense, without any damage to lifespan and basis, which is enough to be called comprehensible to all.

Gu Wen immediately thought of the sense of pain and taste. Losing these two would not have much impact, and it was a great deal to use them to save his life.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Akabane's weak yet proud expression.

"How is it? This is my comprehension of the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Path!"

"Did you create this yourself?"

"That's natural."

“It’s really the pinnacle.”

Gu Wen admired sincerely. Although it was not a completely self-created magical power, he undoubtedly used Xuanpin to the extreme and derived a small magical power.

Suddenly, a ray of divine thought came, and Jun Yan's divine thought carried a message.

The Celestial Master of Yin Yang Sect has arrived and is summoning all factions to organize a siege plan.
-
This message was passed on to Ao Tang and Chi Yuzi one after another, and their expressions became solemn without exception.

Gu Wen was the calmest because this was not beyond his expectations.

“Second Ancestor, we must release that news now, otherwise we will be in a situation worse than Tianquan Mountain.”

Ao Tang looked extremely serious, fearing that Gu Wen would not take it seriously, and continued, "Now the masters of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism have not yet finished their battles, and Taoism is the strongest of the three religions. You are now at the twelfth level, but what if you face two twelfth-level masters at once, or even three?"

"I have no opinion."

Gu Wen did not object, but Ao Tang's words suddenly made him realize a problem.

After killing enemies of higher levels, if multiple enemies come, they will also be in danger, and what they have the most now is enemies.

Looking inward at his only magical power, the Xuanpin Tongshen and the Immortal Sword, he felt slightly relieved. If necessary, he could cut through the Thirteen Heavens.

Upon hearing this, Ao Tang's divine consciousness soared into the sky, instantly reaching outside the sky and entering the Sanqing Taoist Sect.

There was silence for three breaths afterwards, during which dozens of divine thoughts were transmitted, centered on the Three Pure Ones Taoist Sect, and entered the ears of the Heavenly Masters of various Taoist sects in the world.

Gu Wen borrowed Ao Tang's magical power, and saw that the dome of the immortal land was suddenly covered with colorful divine light, and it seemed that there were faint human shadows standing there.

There was an endless murderous intent in the dark.

"Xuan Yuan, you are plotting against the position of Heavenly Lord, you deserve to die."

Gu Wen was a little stunned. He didn't expect the reaction to be so big.

Is the incompatibility between humans and demons really that serious?
Rumble!
Above the Fire Cloud Cave, the void was torn apart, and dozens of powerful Taoist masters took action together.

There are many old monsters who don't care about worldly affairs, but they are condemned by the world for taking over the body. Among them is the former former former master of Yin Yang Sect 6,000 years ago, who had long since left the sect and retired to practice Taoism.

Now he has returned from Taixu and attacked brazenly.

The matter of Qingcang and the elixir of immortality has nothing to do with the current situation. Even if Qingcang really comes back to life tomorrow, Xuanyuan must die today.

For these semi-immortals, investigation is unnecessary. As long as there is a suspicion, there are plenty of ways to find out.

Xuanyuan escaped, and wherever he passed, there was lightning and fire erupting in the sky, and countless Taoist magics came across the world.

An attack that was powerful enough to annihilate a thousand miles of land in the outside world could only cover less than ten miles in the Immortal Land. But even so, it had already put Xuan Yuan on the brink of life and death. If he had not escaped into the Immortal Land, he would have died the moment his identity was exposed.

The Land of Immortality is the only place where he can survive. The higher the realm, the greater the loss will be under the hundredfold weakening.
