I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 174 Do you believe now that my Bodhi Temple is compassionate?

[Use the smelting technique to continue refining the Five Elements Peaks of the Five Mountains.]

[Two months later, having barely refined the Five Elements Peaks of the Five Mountains and broken through to the sixth level of the Fourth Realm, you were dragged out of your retreat inn by Elders Jingzhen and Jingyun.]

Abbot Kongming is preparing to open the Nine Abyss Prison as scheduled, so he needs to call you, who possesses the key to the Nine Abyss Prison.

[When the two great powers of Bodhi Temple and Taicang Dynasty join forces, the commotion they cause is naturally not small.]

[The Yuhua Immortal Sect, Taisu Immortal Palace, Wanmu Dao Palace, and other forces that have an agreement with you have noticed this and have directly sent their elders to the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital.]

[When you arrive, you'll find that more than half of the Qingyuan Realm's top powers have already arrived.]

"Abbot, is the Jiuyuan Prison in the imperial palace?"

Jiang Chuan looked at the Jiuyuan Palace in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

The Jiuyuan Palace is magnificent and golden. Every tile and brick is made of a mixture of gold essence and spiritual materials, and dragon-shaped Taoist symbols are engraved on the surface.

The golden gate is dozens of feet high, and carved with scenes of gods moving mountains, a golden crow swallowing the sun, and a giant god drinking from the river. It exudes a majestic and eerie aura, giving people a great sense of oppression.

"Before you brought Jing Yang here, didn't you tell him about the Nine Abyss Prison?"

Abbot Kongming looked at Elder Jingzhen and Elder Jingyun.

Elder Jingzhen replied, "Who would have known that this boy is just like a fool, having the key to the Nine Abyss Prison but not knowing where it is."

Jiangchuan: "."

Who are you scolding?

Do you really think that I, Jiang, am your iron fist? I, Jiang, am the ancestor of both immortals and demons, and I disdain to fight with you, the shame of Bodhi Temple.

When I reach the sixth realm, I will let you know the power of my, Master Jiang’s, iron fist!

"The Jiuyuan Prison is located beneath the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital, sealed by the Jiuyuan Dynasty with a large formation."

Elder Jingyun twisted his Buddhist beads and explained, "Therefore, anyone who wishes to open the Jiuyuan Prison must cooperate with the Jiuyuan Dynasty."

"The Jiuyuan Dynasty is truly insidious!"

Jiang Chuan finally understood why Abbot Kong Ming was unhappy with the Jiu Yuan Dynasty, but did not break off relations with the Jiu Yuan Saint Emperor.

If you want to open the Jiuyuan Prison, you must first unlock the formation that protects the imperial capital.

Breaking through the formation by force is one way, but Emperor Jiuyuan has a large number of mortals.

If Yidao Bodhi Temple really takes action to break the formation, it will inevitably hurt mortals.

At that time, whether it is the immortal path, the external paths such as Haoran Palace, or the demon path, they will all take action.

"No matter how cunning a sheep is, without leverage, it's still just a sheep. It can't possibly travel with wolves, tigers, or leopards."

Elder Jingzhen showed disdain on his face and his voice was full of contempt.

bump!
Abbot Kongming kicked Elder Jingzhen away with one kick: "You are a jackal, a tiger or a leopard yourself, don't take the entire Bodhi Temple with you!"

"Good job!"

Jiangchuan gave a thumbs up to Abbot Kongming.

"Abbot, regarding Elder Jingzhen, I think this black sheep would be a disaster if he stayed in Bodhi Temple. It would be better to expel him from Bodhi Temple as soon as possible."

Abbot Kong Ming shook his head and refused: "That won't do."

Elder Jingzhen, who was kicked away, got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.

"I am the future abbot of Bodhi Temple. How could the abbot expel me from Bodhi Temple? If he is going to expel me from Bodhi Temple, then he should expel you, the little devil."

"I did think about expelling Jingzhen from Bodhi Temple."

Abbot Kongming paused and continued, "But when I thought about you becoming the abbot of Bodhi Temple in the future, I wouldn't be able to handle everything myself. So I decided to keep Jingzhen."

Elder Jingzhen: “.”

So, you're still keeping me around just to make me serve that little bastard Jing Yang?!
I tell you, even if I die in Bodhi Temple, my bones are torn to pieces, and my soul is scattered, I would rather die for Jingyang!
Boom!

The golden gate of the palace opened.

Standing on the chariot pulled by the black dragon and the red phoenix, the Holy Emperor Jiuyuan, surrounded by many royal elders and civil and military officials, came towards Abbot Kongming.

When the chariot was thirty feet away from Abbot Kongming, it stopped.

The Saint Emperor Jiuyuan, wearing a yellow robe with nine dragons, an imperial sword hanging from his waist, and with straight features, spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Kongming, it's getting late. Let's open the Nine Abyss Prison."

As soon as the Saint Emperor Jiuyuan finished speaking, more than ten royal elders behind him cut their hands and bright red blood dripped onto the stone slabs on the ground.

In an instant, dense Taoist talismans appeared, and then a red light shot up into the sky, cutting through the sky.

As more than a dozen veterans of the royal family formed seals, the Taoist talismans melted away like the tide.

A cold and chilly aura diffused out.

The Jiuyuan Saint Emperor immediately took out the three Jiuyuan Prison keys and activated them directly.

The three keys to the Nine Abyss Prison were like three black moons descending, emitting a cold lunar light that made people shudder.

Jiangchuan and Abbot Kongming also took out the key to the Nine Abyss Prison and activated it.

Boom! ! !

It was like a meteorite streaking across the sky and crashing to the earth, or like millions of armies fighting each other. The huge noise shook the world.

The energy of the moon rushed up from under the earth and turned into a pitch-black door, hanging high in the sky.

Through the gate, Jiangchuan looked towards Jiuyuan Prison.

When Jiang Chuan saw the scene inside Jiuyuan Prison clearly, he was slightly stunned.

A world like stars is scattered all over the place, floating densely in the void.

These worlds, some filled with crimson flames, some covered in ice and snow, some with mountains and peaks, are all different. "Isn't it different from what I imagined?"

Noticing the change in Jiangchuan's expression, Elder Jingyun spoke.

Jiang Chuan nodded. "I heard that in order to kill the Eleventh Realm Immortal Phoenix, the ancient sages of the human race poured in the extremely cold and cold Taiyin True Water. The Nine Abyss Prison was affected by the Taiyin True Water and should be a world of ice and snow."

Ancestor Ziyun jumped onto Jiangchuan's head and gave him a claw.

"If you have a brain, you should use it!"

Jiangchuan: "."

No, ancestor, can you figure out who is stupid between us?

"Even a centipede is still alive after death. How much more so an Eleventh Realm Immortal Phoenix?"

Abbot Kong Ming explained, "Before dying, the Eleventh Realm Immortal Phoenix launched a frantic counterattack, attempting to break out of the Nine Abyss Prison. The entire Nine Abyss Prison was turned upside down."

"The small worlds you see are actually the transformations of the cave worlds that were shattered in that battle."

"It was precisely because the Immortal Phoenix's counterattack was too terrifying that all the jailers of the Nine Abyss Prison were withdrawn from the Nine Abyss Prison, causing the key to the Nine Abyss Prison to be left outside."

"If the Immortal Phoenix hadn't counterattacked, this good fortune would most likely have been divided equally among the jailers of the Jiuyuan Prison."

"I see."

Jiang Chuan touched his chin and said, "But now that the cave world is broken, how can we find the fortune made from the flesh and blood of the Immortal Phoenix?"

"I told you to bring Jingyang here, and you just brought him here?"

Abbot Kongming looked at Elder Jingzhen and Jingyun with a hint of dissatisfaction, and then noticed that the Jiuyuan Holy Emperor had already led the monks of the Jiuyuan Dynasty to fly towards the gate leading to the Jiuyuan Prison.

He immediately took everyone from Bodhi Temple and flew to Jiuyuan Prison.

[Before entering Jiuyuan Prison, Xiang Donglai, Nangong Chang, Nangong Shuiyue and others, who had made an appointment with you, came to find you.]

[Seeing Nangong Chang, Lu Chenling, and the others teaming up with you to explore the Nine Abyss Prison, Abbot Kongming gave you a few words of advice before leading the monks of Bodhi Temple into the Nine Abyss Prison to seize the fortune.]

[For the sake of caution, you will split into two teams to explore the Nine Abyss Prison.]

[You, Nangong Chang, and Xiang Donglai form a team.]

[Lu Chenling, Mu Bingyun, Nangong Shuiyue, and Meng Luoshu form a team.]

[You, Nangong Chang, Xiang Donglai, and the others all have powerful forces behind them. It's certainly safer to follow the elders and the headmaster.]

[But it also means that when you truly receive good fortune, you have a large group of people to share it with.]

[Mu Bingyun, Meng Luoshu, and the others all have life-saving talismans bestowed upon them by the elders and even the headmaster. As long as they are urged, the elders and even the headmaster will come.]

Therefore, they dared to break away from their own forces and join forces with Jiang Chuan and others to explore the Nine Abyss Prison.

[After you each choose a small world, enter it and seek fortune.]

[Before we part, Meng Luoshu will give each of you three a sound transmission talisman. If you find a place covered by a formation that may have good fortune, you will be notified immediately by Jiang Chuan and the other two.]

"Jiangchuan, are you sure the world we choose can be blessed?"

Ancestor Ziyun looked at the green fields in front of him, feeling doubtful.

The green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and rivers like jade belts flow freely, dividing the fields.

Jiangchuan looked towards Xiangdonglai.

"Trust my judgment to someone."

Xiang Donglai patted his chest and assured, "The ancients refined the flesh and blood of the Immortal Phoenix into precious medicine. It's essentially the same as refining an elixir. Refining an elixir requires an elixir furnace, right?"

"The ancients couldn't find the immortal alchemy furnace, so they used this world as the furnace. The Immortal Phoenix's rebellion was like the explosion of the furnace. Those worlds covered in ice and fire were the worlds affected by the aftermath of the explosion."

"These intact, unaffected worlds are where the real alchemy was done back then. If there are any precious medicines made from the flesh and blood of immortal phoenixes, they will definitely be in this area."

"That's true." Jiang Chuan and Nangong Chang both felt that Xiang Donglai's judgment was correct.

"But doesn't a furnace explosion mean that the refining process has failed? If it fails, it means the whole process has failed."

Ziyun Patriarch asked in reply, "Could it be that you haven't learned alchemy? That's why you were fooled by this fool!"

Jiangchuan: "."

Nangong Chang: “.”

What do you mean?
Being fooled by a fool?
Does that mean we are worse than fools?

"You dead cat, who are you calling a fool?!"

Xiang Donglai really wanted to punch the cat face of Ziyun Patriarch.

"How could I not know that the furnace would explode? But how could an immortal refine an elixir like an ordinary cultivator? If Jiuyuanyu didn't have any precious medicine, why would Abbot Kongming go to such great lengths to plan it?"

"How come you don't know the difference? Have you ever seen a true immortal making an elixir?"

Patriarch Ziyun asked, "As for Kongming, he's not very smart to begin with. In my opinion, it would be better for Kongbei to be the abbot."

Coming east: "."

I now believe that Bodhi Temple is truly compassionate!
If it had been in another sect, this broken cat would have been buried long ago!

[You did not change your plan and continued to explore this small world.]

After flying over 30,000 miles, you discovered many collapsed palaces at the end of the plain.

The palace stretches out in a continuous pattern, like a dragon lying across the landscape. Through the ruins, one can vaguely imagine its former splendor and grandeur.

[However, now most of the palaces have turned to dust, and only a few still exist.]

[You arrive in front of the central palace, and the sight that greets you startles you.]
