Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 857 Phoenix Pattern Body Transformation Dao, Bai Yuan Pays Homage to the Mountain
Crimson Sun Cliff was surrounded by flames, its energy exploding.

The Five-Flower Immortal's black hair danced in the wind, and the Dragon Smoke Furnace around him emitted spiritual fragrance as he gazed at the empty Crimson Sun Cliff.

"Soon."
Once the old man breaks through his cultivation barrier, the Xuan Yang main lineage won't wither away like this.

"Buzz!"

A beam of starlight fell, and You Xishan, holding a book, stood there, his robes fluttering.

"Greetings, Junior Sister Wuhua"

"Senior Brother Xishan?" Master Wuhua looked puzzled. "Why are you coming to see me instead of going into seclusion to prepare for something important?"

You Xishan's gaze swept over the dragon-smoke incense burner, savoring the wafting fragrance, and he spoke:

"Congratulations, junior sister, on your further progress in the art of incense."

My senior brother has come here, wishing to view the true copy of the "Three Yang Book," the body-refining inheritance of the Xuan Yang main lineage.

"The authentic copy of the Three Yang Scripture?"

Her phoenix eyes furrowed slightly as she refused, saying, "Senior Brother Xishan, the Three Yang Scripture touches upon the very foundations of the Daoist lineage; please forgive me for not lending it out."

Moreover, my senior brother's lineage has its own body-refining inheritance, the Seven Radiance Minor Forging Method. Although it is only a second-rate inheritance, it is compatible with the Three Changes True Chapter of the Mysterious Star and is no weaker than a first-rate inheritance.

Why go to such lengths when you can find something nearby?

You Xishan said, "It's not that Senior Brother needs it."

“If it weren’t for Senior Brother Xishan’s need, it would be even more impossible for him to lend out the true copy.” Wu Hua felt strange and waved his sleeve to put away the Crimson Dragon Smoke Furnace.

"Which fellow disciple has such great influence that he can make Senior Brother Xishan speak up?"
Zhang Hengyi, Xiao Changce?

We can't be without a senior martial uncle, can we?

If one is not a cultivator who practices the Pure Yang Scripture, even if one receives the inheritance of the Three Yang Scripture, the incompatibility of their Qi and meridians would render it a mere second-rate inheritance.

Moreover, to truly comprehend the original text, one needs the assistance of the Three Yang Purple Qi, requiring sixty years of accumulation, yet only one person can achieve this.

You Xishan gave a wry smile, his face showing helplessness, and said, "It's Junior Brother Fang Yi from the Five Extremes Peak. He intends to deduce and complete the Twenty-Nine Profound Technique, and for this, Master even lent out the Zhou Tian Bagua Diagram."

"This matter concerns the very foundation of our sect. Fang Yi has his own lineage from the Ancestral Hall, and I am unwilling to lend it to Zhang Heng when he comes here."

"Moreover, he is someone who has established his own lineage." His phoenix eyes furrowed slightly, showing no mercy.

"Senior brother, there's no need to mention this matter again. Although the puppet master who condensed the Mechanism Seal is strong..."

However, it is impossible for him to witness the inheritance of my Xuan Yang main lineage.”

"It was Senior Uncle Guang Sheng who spoke."

You Xishan rubbed his temples. If he hadn't been unable to refuse, as the next leader of Tianji Peak, he wouldn't have wanted the fundamental inheritance of the [Seven Radiance Minor Forging Technique] to be leaked.

However, among the three lineage masters of Xuan Yang Mountain, who among those who broke through to the next realm and condensed their inner core had not received their assistance and thus owed them favors?
"Uncle-Master Guangsheng."

Master Wuhua murmured softly, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Uncle-Master values ​​Fang Yi. He is over two hundred years old and only has the cultivation of the fourth level of Core Formation. He also has a mid-grade spiritual root to rely on."

"No matter how strong his fighting skills are, Fang Yi's ability to cultivate to the point of perfect Core Formation is all due to his profound fortuitous opportunities."

"Very well, since it was Uncle Guang Sheng who asked, I will borrow the [Three Yang Book] to take a look."
Senior Brother Xishan, please wait a moment while I retrieve the original copy of the Three Yang Scripture.

Watching the light disappear into a deep pool at Crimson Sun Cliff, You Xishan shook his head slightly.

"It was only because my senior brother Guang Sheng spoke up that the true copy of the Three Yangs Book was not available to anyone, let alone lend out. Others would not even be able to see it."
Junior Sister Wu Hua is right; Junior Brother Fang Yi is being dragged down too much by his spiritual root.

What use is studying the art of body refinement if one hasn't reached the peak of Core Formation?

An hour later.

Tianji Peak is shrouded in mist and clouds, with twinkling stars, and a waterfall cascading down, splashing silver water droplets.

Tianji Mansion

Gazing at the powerful characters in front of the grotto, You Xishan stopped, his hand pulsating with magical power, and a warm, lustrous pearl surrounded by the aura of the three yangs rose up.

"Buzz!"

The precious pearl spun rapidly, transforming into a streak of fire that fell into the cave, stirring up the swirling spiritual energy.

"Senior Brother Xishan?" A large cyan handprint snatched away the Three Yang Pearl, and a steady voice rang out. "Thank you for your assistance, Senior Brother."

You Xishan waved his hand. "No need to thank me. It was Senior Uncle Guang Sheng who had great influence and was able to persuade Junior Sister Wu Hua to give up the Three Yang Book."

Unlike the Seven Radiance Minor Forging Method of my lineage, this method was deduced and completed by a Core Formation True Person.

"The Three Yang Book is the core lineage of the Xuan Yang Daoist tradition, originating from a Nascent Soul stage expert."

He paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, before finally offering his advice.

"Junior Brother Fang Yi has lived past two hundred years. If he intends to advance further, his cultivation level is still too low."
"Our lifespan as cultivators is limited; even a Core Formation cultivator lives for no more than five hundred years. Blindly indulging in external things and unorthodox methods is ultimately not the right path."

"Junior brother cultivates the Way of Wood Withering. If you intend to covet the position of Nascent Soul True Monarch, wait until Senior Uncle Red Eyebrows breaks through the realm."

Let's summon Junior Brother Hengyi. The three of us working together can try to hunt down that old demon on Sudu Mountain and search for and complete the Qingmu Palace's inheritance.
"It's not too late to cultivate to the point of perfecting the Golden Core as soon as possible, and then consider perfecting the essence, blood, and qi."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I have my own plans."

“That’s all.
This Tianji Palace draws upon the power of the stars and can fully activate the Zhou Tian Bagua Diagram. Junior Brother Fang, you should take good care of yourself.”

You Xishan shook his head slightly and did not try to persuade him further. In the barren land of Dayun, he was able to cultivate both medicine and puppetry to the third-level superior grade and develop the prototype of a Daoist temple.

They were all people with firm beliefs and their own principles.

Until one's lifespan is exhausted and one dies, it is difficult to feel regret.

He felt the true elixir in his dantian, where six streams of starlight, five dark and one bright, flowed around, and he sighed softly.

Fang Yi was like that, and so was he.
Within the Tianji Mansion, a misty spiritual energy surged and churned.

From a rough, three-legged stone stove, wisps of smoke rise, nourishing the soul.

Fang Yi sat cross-legged on the ancient and simple Dharma Hall, with the Eight Trigrams diagram of the Zhou Tian unfolding behind him, the trigrams Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li changing.

The jade slip on the left is surrounded by spiritual patterns, which is the inheritance of the [Yin Wood Spirit Body].

A book of secrets, imbued with starlight, evolved into the chapter of the "Seven Radiance Minor Forging Method".

"Buzz!"

The Three Yang Pearls fell, spinning rapidly, their warm energy stirring up spiritual changes, forcefully suppressing the two lineages on the left and right.

"It really is the original manuscript."

Fang Yi's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with astonishment.

Unlike ordinary third-tier inheritances, inheriting the true essence requires the presence of Daoist principles and comprehension of the true essence, as is the case with cultivators who directly practice this method.
It would take at least a top-tier master with a fully formed foundation for the temple to work on it and expend a great deal of effort to even barely manage to draw it.

Of the three branches of Xuanyang Mountain, as far as he knew, there were only four true origins.

Both the "Celestial Transformation Technique" and the "Mysterious Hundred-Day Banquet" are inherited from ancient times and have a very powerful origin.

【Return to Origin Blood Wine】 is used to brew spiritual wine, and can even help the ancient Daoist tradition of 【Life and Death Scripture】 to condense a first-grade golden elixir, thus increasing cultivation.

The remaining [Mysterious Yang Book] is a fourth-tier inheritance.

Unexpectedly, this "Three Yangs Book" is also the authentic version.

Fang Yi waved his hand and released a beam of spiritual light, probing it with his divine sense.

The Three Yang Pearls exhaled magical power, and the six treasure seals lit up one by one. The three Daoist rhythms of [Sun], [Bright Sun], and [Lesser Sun] evolved, surrounded by a misty purple light.

"Draw!"

A wisp of purple light was drawn into the palm of the hand, and the body felt as warm as a gentle spring, making the texture of the palm and heart more resilient.

"Three Yang Purple Qi?"
This Three Yang Pearl truly lives up to its reputation as a genuine inheritance. Even with the activation of a Core Formation cultivator or a third-tier formation, it can condense a strand of Three Yang Purple Qi over sixty years.

"By using the purple aura of the Three Yangs, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort in comprehending the Three Yangs Book."

Moreover, it nourishes the physical body and nurtures the foundation of one's Dao, making it a rare treasure among third-tier spiritual objects.

The ability of Chimeizi to perfect his essence, blood, and qi is inseparable from the assistance of the Sanyang Purple Qi accumulated over a thousand years.

Fang Yi reached out and made a grasping motion, and a complete Three Yang Purple Qi rose from the pearl, writhing like a spirit snake.

"If it weren't for Ancestor Guang Sheng speaking up, let alone the Three Yang Purple Qi, we would never have even seen this true copy of the inheritance."

His eyes were deep and mysterious, seemingly piercing through layers of magical restrictions, and fixed on an old farmer in hemp clothing in the ancestral hall.

"Did the patriarch entrust the path of Tao to me?"

Fang Yi waved his sleeve, runes flowing from his fingertips, and a silver talisman with a phoenix pattern appeared, which he tossed into the Qiankun hexagram. "Imperial Decree!"

A broken ancient cauldron fell down, truly a legacy of the [Two Nine Mysterious Techniques].

"Buzz!"

One by one, gilded runes leaped up, transforming into spirit deer, precious elephants, ancient snakes, and bluebirds.
His entire body was being built up with spiritual bones, his muscles were spreading, and his internal organs were manifesting, vaguely transforming into the phantom of a demon god.

"Oh!"

The phantom shattered, and gilded runes transformed into fleeing spirit deer, fluttering elephants, and flying bluebirds.
"As expected, the silver phoenix pattern alone can only deduce the most common third-order body refining inheritance."

Like the scriptures left in the sect's library, even after exhausting all their efforts, they could only condense a third-tier true elixir at most, and then make no further progress.

"This would be a huge waste of the [Two-Nine Mystic Technique] to refine a top-tier foundation."
Although the Half-Side Taoist acted as he pleased and harmed countless heroes, he was still able to leave his name in the Record of Ancient Extraordinary People.

The foundation laid during the Qi cultivation and foundation building stages of this "Two-Nine Mysterious Technique" is no weaker than top-tier inheritances such as the "Scripture of Life and Death," the "Heaven and Earth Furnace Method," and the "Great Method of Heaven and Man's Transformation."

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi sent down the Three Yang Pearls, causing the hexagrams of Heaven and Earth to change and purple energy to surround them.

As the spiritual bones were constructed and the muscle texture spread, the internal organs manifested, and the phantom of a demon god was once again outlined.

With the support of the Three Yang Daoist Rhyme, as the cultivation technique was developed, a Haoyang Crown was condensed, and the meridians of the demon god's phantom gradually became clear, without collapsing.

"call!"

Fang Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air, his palm pulsating with magical power as he fully activated the Zhou Tian Bagua Diagram.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions manifested, followed by the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the seven stars of the Northern Dipper, and the seven luminaries and nine planets, all rising one by one within the grotto.

"This scroll of treasure map is truly mysterious."

"By borrowing the power of the stars in Tianji Mansion, as long as my magical power remains uninterrupted, I am essentially a master of divination who has reached the peak of Core Formation and refined my natal hexagram, helping me to deduce my cultivation technique."

"Moreover, it seems there's something left unsaid."

Sensing a simple and ancient seal deep within the Zhou Tian Bagua diagram, Fang Yi did not delve into it further.

With a wave of his sleeve, the [Yin Wood Spirit Body] and the [Seven Radiance Minor Forging Technique] fell into the hexagram.

Following that are the accumulated demonic body-refining methods from previous lives, such as the [White Bone Body], [Five Poisons Body], and [Yin Corpse].

'With the accumulation of two lifetimes, and the assistance of the Silver Scroll with Phoenix Pattern, I wonder to what extent the Two-Nine Mystic Arts can be completed.'

Fang Yi murmured to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation.

As the phantom of the demon god gradually became clearer, it was revealed to be a figure with a heroic face, wearing a Three Yang Flying Spirit Crown, dressed in a light purple battle robe, holding a Xuanjin Three-Pointed Blade, and surrounded by silver seal insect patterns.
Ancestral Hall.

The shady locust tree was lush and eerie, and Huang Guangsheng's entire body had turned to wood, with half of his body merging into the tree trunk.

He seemed to sense something, his eyes gleaming as he looked towards Tianji Peak.

"Did Fang get the Three Yang Pearl?"
One who blindly cultivates the way of withered wood will ultimately harm his lifespan and affect his temperament, making him irritable and easily agitated, thus triggering inner demons.

Now, nourished by the Three Yang Purple Qi, and further aided by the Returning Origin Blood Wine to nourish wood with water, this young man's mind is now unhindered before the Great Master.

"Senior Brother Guang Sheng, you seem to value that junior Qing Yangzi quite a bit."

A ray of starlight fell, transforming into a blurry figure, and a voice as hoarse as an old eagle's hoot rang out.

"He spoke and issued decrees, and even borrowed the Tianji Mansion from his junior brother. Senior Brother Chi Mei asked for the Three Yang Pearls."

Even my junior apprentice Hengyi never saw his senior brother put in this much effort.

"Hengyi inherits the lineage of the Ancestral Hall and has its own inherent strength, so there is no need to seek it from outside."

Huang Guangsheng's droopy eyes spoke casually.

"As for Fang Yi, I only see a bit of myself in him back then."
Unfortunately, I had no teachers or mentors to help me back then, so I had to figure out my future on my own.

With Junior Brother Tianque's Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude and his Xuanxing Spiritual Body, if he had gone far away, he would not have ended up in this situation.

"Junior brother, have you ever regretted it?"

"regret?"

Tian Quezi chuckled softly and said inexplicably, "Things have come to this point, what is there to regret?"

However, Senior Brother Guang Sheng, the True Lord of Agriculture and Millet of Medicine King Valley, had intended to take him as a disciple to carry on the Daoist tradition.

Why did my senior brother refuse?

"."

"."

The ancestral hall was completely silent, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the locust trees and faint, indistinct sounds of sacrificial rituals.

After a long pause, Huang Guangsheng spoke.

"Does True Lord Nong Su want to take me as his disciple so that Medicine King Valley can have another Nascent Soul True Lord?"

joke!

Why are the Nascent Soul seeds of Medicine King Valley not being cultivated, but instead seeking out an outsider like me?

He didn't want a True Monarch who had condensed their Nascent Soul, but rather a Grandmaster who had cultivated the art of spiritual plants to the fourth level.

"The path to immortality is arduous, and we cultivators must ultimately rely on ourselves."

"Nascent Soul Position"

Huang Guangsheng murmured softly, then waved his hand to disperse the illusory image of the sky gap, which turned into strands of starlight.

Tianji Peak, Zhaixing Pavilion.

"The Nascent Soul stage."

Behind Tian Quezi, numerous figures emerged, whispering softly as his gaze swept over You Xishan beside a spiritual spring.

"Hey, Senior Brother Guang Sheng is quite open-minded, cultivating spiritual plants to the fourth-level Grandmaster level."
Even Medicine King Valley had to make every effort to win them over.

"However, this also makes it easy to be placed under a restriction and turned into a spirit slave."

"I was trained by a cultivator, but ultimately I must rely on myself."

Ten days later.

In the Zhaixing Pavilion, Tian Quezi, with his white hair and beard covered in age spots, sat cross-legged on a futon, seemingly asleep.

"Um?

"It's finally here!"

"Let this old man see which Grandmaster who has reached the peak of Core Formation is it."

He leaned on his dove-shaped cane, slowly rose, and sensed a boiling fire, carrying rage, rushing from hundreds of miles away.

"Bai Yuan?"
"A disciple of True Lord Crimson Flame, a Nascent Soul seed at the peak of Core Formation."

"Hey, not bad, not bad!"

A ray of spiritual light emanated from Tian Quezi's fingertip, and a bronze bell at the corner of the building rang out with the sound of metal and jade striking each other.

"Fang Yi, you are the leader of the Xuan Yang Sect, come with me to greet our distinguished guest."

Tianji Mansion.

As the starlight faded, Fang Yi held the Xuan Yang Pearl in his hand, his face filled with joy, gazing at the scroll of cultivation techniques, each word a gem.

"With 29 as the foundation, phoenix patterns as the bone, and all methods for nourishment, now all that's needed is for the cultivators to try it out."

"Yes, it's Uncle-Master Tianque calling."

His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he sensed a blazing aura, like the scorching sun, drawing ever closer.

"Zoroastrianism, has the final sacrifice arrived?"

"boom!"

A great sun rises, its vast energy flowing, Bai Yuan's robes fluttering as he gazes at the spiritual peak before him.

The authoritative words echoed throughout Xuan Yang Mountain.

"This is Bai Yuan."
