Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 108: Fire Cloud Cave and Hongmeng Purple Qi (Happy New Year, please subscribe)
"That's fine." Li Xuanyang agreed and started strolling around the Fire Cloud Cave.

Huoyun Cave is the first of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places in the ancient world. It is much larger than the area of ​​Xuanyang Mountain. It is boundless and seems to have no end.

At this time, a golden divine light flew through the cave. It was Li Xuanyang's innate Xuanyang divine light. It flew towards the depths and was about to enter the edge.

Along the way, Li Xuanyang discovered that the terrain inside the Fire Cloud Cave was very flat, and various spiritual roots and magical herbs could be seen everywhere, like overgrown weeds, but with a unique charm, and few rare things.

"Such a rich innate spiritual energy, with a hint of innate pure energy, should be able to produce some innate spiritual objects!"

In every blessed place, all kinds of rare innate spiritual objects are born, such as the Chaos Spirit Spring in Xuanyang Mountain, the ginseng fruit tree in Wanshou Mountain, the hibiscus tree in Tanggu, and so on.

"Could it be related to the characteristics of the innate pure energy?" Li Xuanyang looked thoughtful.

“But the aura of creation in the cave!”

Thinking of the energy of creation, the Chunyang Cave Heaven, which is also one of the thirty-six cave heavens in the prehistoric times, also has innate pure yang energy, and even has a companion spiritual treasure, the Chunyang Sword.

"Could it be that there is a magical treasure of good fortune contained in the Fire Cloud Cave?" Li Xuanyang felt that it was unlikely. If there really was such a magical treasure, why would Hong Yun have to work so hard to find it and refine it into a magical instrument?

At this time, Li Xuanyang gradually came to the depths of Huoyun Cave.

This place is on the edge of the Fire Cloud Cave. Apart from the rich innate spiritual energy, there are only a small amount of grass and trees growing, and it is a little barren.

Further ahead, it was all shrouded in endless clouds and mist, and the innate strong wind was raging. Even in the past, Hongyun rarely came here on ordinary days.

After arriving here, Li Xuanyang faintly sensed that the clouds were blown into the Fire Cloud Cave by the innate罡风, and eventually gradually evolved into innate spiritual energy and strands of the energy of creation.

"So this is how the innate spiritual energy and the energy of creation in the Fire Cloud Cave came from!" Li Xuanyang could even faintly feel the presence of a trace of innate pure energy.

Although it is extremely rare, it is the true innate pure energy.

"It can save a lot of effort." A golden divine light flashed on Li Xuanyang's body, and he came to the clouds, ready to collect some innate pure energy to avoid using the innate spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Cave for purification and refining.

However, a look of doubt gradually emerged on Li Xuanyang's face. The innate pure energy and the energy of creation around him gradually became more and more dense, while the innate pure energy contained in the clouds and mist decreased instead of increasing.

The energy of creation is even separated from the clouds and mist.

To put it simply, the innate pure energy just now was contained in the clouds and mist, while the innate pure energy and the energy of creation here were not contained in the clouds and mist, but seemed to be derived out of thin air.

"Why does it seem more and more like it contains a magical treasure of good fortune!" Li Xuanyang showed a hint of doubt and was a little confused.

The Fire Cloud Cave is where Hong Yun transformed. I don’t know how many years he has practiced here. If there really is a magical treasure being born, how could Hong Yun not have discovered it?

Li Xuanyang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he simply continued to move forward along the innate pure energy and the energy of creation, and gradually came to the turbulent flow of chaotic energy. Chaotic energy surged around him from time to time, and space fragments flew around from time to time.

This place has left the scope of Fire Cloud Cave and is considered the gap space connecting Fire Cloud Cave and Chaos. Further ahead is the boundless world of chaos.

What surprised Li Xuanyang was that the innate pure energy and the energy of creation here became increasingly dense, far surpassing the clouds and fog just now.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang saw from afar that a hazy golden light suddenly appeared outside the edge of the chaotic world, swallowing the surrounding chaotic energy into the golden light. After that, it turned into innate pure energy and energy of creation and spit it out. It merged into the clouds and mist, fell into the Fire Cloud Cave, and finally turned into innate spiritual energy and energy of creation again.

"It seems to be separating the innate pure energy and the energy of creation from the chaotic energy." Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of the Qiankun Ding's rebellious innate nature.

But the scene before my eyes is not a true rebellion against innate nature, it is only specious.

And this chaotic world's edge has been gestating for who knows how many years, and it has gradually formed a jade mountain, about hundreds of thousands of feet high, and all made of jade. Countless golden lights emanate from the mountain, turning into billions of rays of light, which can be seen from afar.

However, when Li Xuanyang came closer, the golden light in front of him flashed, and then all of it retreated into the mountain, disappeared, and turned into an ordinary mountain.

"what!"

"Isn't this telling me clearly that this mountain is unusual?" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but exclaimed and began to look at the mountain in front of him. It was indeed extraordinary. It was green like jade and looked less like a mountain and more like a huge piece of spiritual jade.

Even in the ancient times, it is considered very rare. Not only can he enter the innate number, Li Xuanyang also vaguely felt a trace of the existence of the law of creation.

Li Xuanyang was shocked, his eyes gleaming with golden light, "The Law of Creation!"

There are very few innate things in the ancient world that can contain the laws of creation.

Apart from the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Ding and the innate twelve-grade Creation Green Lotus, there are only a few items, the thirty-six-grade Chaos Green Lotus that had long been broken.

This jade mountain actually contains such mysteries.

However, Li Xuanyang suddenly frowned. "The laws of creation contained in this Jade Mountain are minimal and not very useful. It cannot reverse the innate energy like the Qiankun Cauldron can. At most, it can derive the innate pure energy and the energy of creation from the chaotic energy."

Both seem very mysterious, but in fact one is from high to low and the other is from low to high, which cannot be compared.

Of course, the innate pure energy and the energy of creation are both rare things and have their own extraordinary aspects.

It’s just that it’s not very useful to Li Xuanyang.

The enlightenment tea trees in Xuanyang Mountain can also generate the energy of creation. The innate pure energy can be used to refine a magical treasure that can restrain the true body of the ancestor witch.

Just when Li Xuanyang was feeling a little disappointed, a golden light suddenly rushed out from the mountain, making the entire jade mountain appear as crystal clear as jade, and billions of rays of light were generated.

On the top of the mountain, strange shapes gradually evolved, vaguely resembling two innate divine texts, but they had not yet been fully manifested and looked very blurry.

Looking at the two innate divine texts, Li Xuanyang frowned. They were so blurry that even he couldn't recognize them for a moment.

At this time, the two innate divine texts derived from the Jade Mountain changed again and became clearer.

"Qiankun Mountain!" Li Xuanyang subconsciously said the name of the mountain, "I wonder what other magical powers this Qiankun Mountain has?"

Li Xuanyang descended the auspicious cloud and came to the top of Qiankun Mountain, showing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, his primordial spirit emerged and merged with Qiankun Mountain. He used his supreme Taoist magical powers to deduce the origin of Qiankun Mountain, wanting to see what the origin of Qiankun Mountain was.

The next moment, many scenes slowly emerged from Li Xuanyang's soul.

When the ancient world was first created, the clear air rose and the turbid air sank. The body of the great god Pangu evolved into all things in the universe, including a number of blessed places.

When the Fire Cloud Cave was born, a fragment of the Chaos Green Lotus fell from the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, flew to the edge of the land, and was swept away by the turbulent flow of chaotic energy.

Until the Fire Cloud Cave was completely born, this fragment, after billions of years of evolution, was contaminated with a hint of chaotic aura, entered the innate number, and gradually turned into a bronze tripod of ancient shape, while the chaotic aura around it gradually turned into a mountain.

Countless years later, a Taoist came here and practiced in this mountain for billions of years. Finally, he collected the Qiankun Ding and left.

Billions of years passed like this, and this mountain was nurtured by the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Ding, and was contaminated with a trace of the law of creation, and entered the innate number. It was able to derive innate pure energy and the energy of creation, and could support the extreme of heaven and earth.

"It turns out that it was thanks to the power of the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Ding that I was able to enter the innate number."

"No wonder there are no innate items in the Fire Cloud Cave. I'm afraid that Taoist priest has already plundered them. If Qiankun Mountain had not yet been fully nurtured, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been left here."

"I just wonder if the Taoist who took away the Qiankun Ding was Hongjun Daozu? Or the legendary Qiankun Taoist?" Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and shot out a stream of primordial energy towards Qiankun Mountain, intending to take it into his primordial spirit and nurture it.

As for the Taoist's identity, there is no need to think too much about it.

Even if he really was the legendary Taoist Qiankun, he would have already perished in the battle between Taoism and demons, so there was no need to pay any attention to him.

Otherwise, Li Xuanyang would not have asked Hongjun Daozu for this item in Zixiao Palace.

This mountain is named Qiankun. It can be as big as Qiankun or as small as a mustard seed. After being refined, it has infinite uses, which is somewhat similar to the Fantian Seal in later generations.

"Collect!" Li Xuanyang suddenly shouted softly, waved his hand and shot out a divine light, which fell on the Qiankun Mountain. The mountain, which was hundreds of thousands of feet high, suddenly turned into a golden light, flew towards Li Xuanyang, and fell on the three flowers of the Yuanshen. A layer of innate Xuanyang true fire emerged and burned, slowly refining it.

This mountain stands on the middle of the three flowers, becoming as small as a jade seal, with a magnificent aura. From time to time, a golden light flashes, and two innate divine characters appear on it, which are the two words "Qian Kun", which look magnificent.

"What a great Qiankun Mountain, it should be as vast as a mustard seed!" Li Xuanyang praised, and then waved his sleeves to collect the innate pure energy and the energy of creation here.

"Let's meet up with Zhen Yuanzi first and see how he has collected the spiritual roots and immortal herbs. Then we can prepare to go to the Netherworld Blood Sea and get the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag." A gleam of light flashed in Li Xuanyang's eyes. As long as he gathered the five innate five-direction flags, he could sit back and watch the birth of the human race and the catastrophe of the lich.

"But that Taoist from the Styx is a little difficult to deal with."

"If you agree to the exchange, that would be great. Otherwise, I would be betraying the friendship between us fellow Taoists of Zixiao Palace."

Li Xuanyang himself has no shortage of innate spiritual treasures. This time he set up the innate five elements and five directions formation and killed several quasi-saints with great supernatural powers.

There are many high-grade innate spiritual treasures left behind, which can be used to exchange for the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. However, the innate twelfth-grade karma fire red lotus is a bit troublesome.

I can’t say for sure. For now, I can only exchange it for some lotus seeds and wait and see.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang had already returned to the Fire Cloud Cave and flew towards the highest peak. He kept thinking about the Styx along the way. As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Li Xuanyang suddenly screamed "Oh!"

"Hmm?" Zhen Yuanzi had already collected all the spiritual roots and herbs and had been waiting for Li Xuanyang for a long time. Seeing Li Xuanyang's distressed expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Daoyou, why are you screaming? Did something unexpected happen when you were collecting the Xiantian Qingqi?"

After saying this, Zhen Yuanzi felt that the innate spiritual energy in the cave seemed to have not changed at all, and still contained the characteristics of innate pure energy. He looked at Li Xuanyang with confusion.

"This is my fault." Li Xuanyang did not answer Zhen Yuanzi directly. He sighed slightly, his face full of helplessness, and even a hint of embarrassment.

After hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Zhen Yuanzi looked at him with increasing surprise and said, "Daoyou, you just went for a stroll and collected some innate pure energy. How could you have done anything wrong?"

Li Xuanyang then said to Zhen Yuanzi with a hint of helplessness, "Just now, I encountered a magical treasure containing the laws of creation on the edge of Huoyun Cave. Without giving it much thought, I took it."

“Now I think there’s something wrong.”

"Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

"Since we have left the territory of Huoyun Cave, just take it." Zhen Yuanzi was confused. If Li Xuanyang could call it a spiritual treasure and take it away, it must be an innate spiritual treasure without a doubt.

Even Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little envious of such an opportunity. It can only be said that Hong Yun does not have such a blessing, so there is no need to say more.

But at this moment, Li Xuanyang was extremely annoyed, leaving Zhen Yuanzi confused. He said, "It's just an innate spiritual treasure, why is there such a need? It has left me completely confused!"

Li Xuanyang reluctantly explained, "This innate spiritual treasure is called Qiankun Mountain. It is a spiritual treasure of creation that can transform the chaotic energy into innate pure energy and the energy of creation."

“But now I have collected it, so that the innate spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Cave will gradually become the same as ordinary innate spiritual energy.”

Li Xuanyang told Zhen Yuanzi in detail about the mysteries of Qiankun Mountain and did not hide it.

After hearing what Li Xuanyang said, Zhen Yuanzi said nonchalantly, "Daoyou, don't worry. I don't think Daoyou Hongyun will care about this matter."

Li Xuanyang opened his mouth, not knowing how to start this matter. He was naturally not worried about Hong Yun, but was thinking of the Three Emperors of the human race in later generations.

It is precisely because the innate spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Cave has a trace of the characteristics of innate pure air and contains the energy of creation that it has become a place where the three emperors of the human race can retreat from the world and practice in seclusion.

Now that Qiankun Mountain has been taken away by Li Xuanyang, it can no longer produce the innate pure energy and the energy of creation.

As time goes by, the innate spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Cave will not decrease, but it will become ordinary innate spiritual energy. In addition, without the replenishment of the energy of creation, it will become truly unworthy of its name over time.

How to use it as a place for the three emperors of the human race to retreat and practice in the future!

What troubled Li Xuanyang was that he couldn't put Qiankun Mountain back. If it was taken away by other powerful people, it would be even more troublesome.

It’s better to collect it temporarily and deal with it later.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun has passed away. There's no need to worry." Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and, with a flick of his sleeve, retrieved Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd and a wisp of his remaining soul. He said to Li Xuanyang, "When Fellow Daoist Hongyun self-destructed, the Primordial Purple Qi vanished without a trace, leading Di Jun and the others to believe it was in the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd and the wisp of his remaining soul."

"Please investigate further, fellow Daoist!"

"Daoyou, why do you have to be like this!" Seeing Zhen Yuanzi take out the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersing Gourd and the Red Cloud Remnant Soul, Li Xuanyang frowned and said, "Do you think I'm coveting the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"That's not the case." Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly and said helplessly, "I'm just worried that the Hongmeng Purple Qi will bring about another disaster."

“If there really is Hongmeng Purple Qi, it is better to take it out as soon as possible, lest even the true spirit of Daoist Fellow Hongyun be lost.”

With Hong Yun's self-destruction and Li Xuanyang's innate five elements and five directions formation, everyone's idea of ​​snatching the Hongmeng purple energy was temporarily dispelled.

But Zhen Yuanzi couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future.

After all, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is related to the sainthood. Not to mention the numerous quasi-saints with great supernatural powers in the prehistoric times, I am afraid that even the saints in the future will have ideas.

"Then I will give it a try!" Li Xuanyang didn't say much. He waved his sleeves at the Jiujiu Sanpo Gourd and the Hongyun Remnant Soul, and sent out a stream of spiritual power to carefully investigate.

Just when the two thought that there was no Hongmeng purple energy, suddenly a purple energy appeared faintly in the red cloud's remnant soul, and in an instant it was about to fly into the void and disappear.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi!" Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi were horrified and together they sacrificed their divine light, intending to use their magical powers and Taoism to freeze the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

However, the Hongmeng purple energy suddenly exuded a chaotic aura, and not only did it not stop the two of them, but it disappeared directly.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly felt that the Chaos Pearl in his soul seemed to be out of his control. It was about to appear and even emitted a gray glow.

I saw that the Hongmeng purple energy that had just disappeared had fallen into the Chaos Pearl at some point and quickly disappeared inside the pearl.

Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi were left looking at each other.

"It seems that the Hongmeng Purple Qi, such a precious treasure in the ancient times, is not meant to be possessed by you, me and fellow Daoist Hongyun." Zhen Yuanzi's face did not show much disappointment, he just sighed lightly.

In response to this, Li Xuanyang remained silent and simply put the Chaos Pearl into the depths of his soul. Thinking of the disappearing Hongmeng purple energy inside, he sighed lightly. Several quasi-saints with great supernatural powers had died for this thing. Even his old friend Hongyun had self-destructed because of this thing. It was truly the source of chaos.

Although refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi can lead to enlightenment and sainthood, Li Xuanyang did not feel much when he actually got it in his hands.

Relying on the Way of Heaven to entrust one's soul to it and proving the Way through the method of beheading corpses and merits is not Li Xuanyang's path. To him, this Hongmeng purple energy is just something that can be ignored.

Of course, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but feel a little curious about the Hongmeng Purple Qi. This thing must be related to the Honghuang Heavenly Dao.

But this matter is related to the Chaos Treasure, so Li Xuanyang couldn't tell it to anyone even if they were friends.

"That's good too. At least it can save us from a lot of trouble." Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said to Li Xuanyang, "The matter here is settled. I plan to return to Wuzhuang Monastery to nurture the remaining soul of Daoist Fellow Hongyun."

"Fellow Daoist is seriously injured now. He also has the Jiujiu Sanpo Gourd and the residual soul of fellow Daoist Hongyun. There is no guarantee that someone may have ill intentions. It is better for me to return to Wuzhuang Temple with fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang said with a hint of worry.

"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist." Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then the two of them transformed into two streaks of cloud light, left the Fire Cloud Cave, and flew towards the prehistoric land.

The journey was smooth and peaceful, and no quasi-saint with great supernatural powers dared to test the power of the innate five elements and five directions formation. However, Li Xuanyang felt a little complicated.

When Hongyun got into trouble, Zhenyuan Zi left in a hurry, and Li Xuanyang even hid his figure and went to the Dongji area.

At this moment, they suddenly saw Zhen Yuanzi and Li Xuanyang returning from outside. Several young men in the temple were puzzled, but they did not dare to ask. They could only greet them with doubts in their hearts and bowed to them in unison, "Disciple greets the master, greets the real master!"

"Okay, get up." After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi and Li Xuanyang walked into the orchard, took out the Jiujiu Sanpo Gourd and Hongyun Canhun, and shot a divine light at the lush ginseng fruit tree.

I saw a crack appearing on the thick trunk of the ginseng fruit tree, emitting a rich innate Yi wood energy.

Zhen Yuanzi placed the Jiujiu Sanpo Gourd and Hongyun's remnant soul inside and nurtured it with the essence of the ginseng fruit tree.

"Daoyou's action makes me feel inferior." Li Xuanyang's eyes narrowed. Although this action will be of great benefit to Hongyun's remnant soul, it will damage the origin of the ginseng fruit tree.

"In an emergency, we have to take the necessary measures. This is the only solution I have." Zhen Yuanzi smiled and extended his hand to Li Xuanyang for an invitation.

"please!"

The two of them left the orchard and entered the inner hall, where they sat opposite each other.

Zhen Yuanzi thought of the spiritual water he had begged from Li Xuanyang last time, and suddenly said to Li Xuanyang, "Fellow Daoist, could you please give me some more of the spiritual water from your mountain?"

"I still have some innate spiritual water and innate fertile soil in my mountain. I will ask my disciples to send them to you later." Speaking of Hongyun, Li Xuanyang felt a little ashamed. He couldn't help but think of the soil when he collected the innate gourd vine. It was the innate fertile soil that could be used to restore the origin of the ginseng fruit tree.

"Xiantian Xirang!"

"Fellow Daoist, you actually have this thing?" Zhen Yuanzi was delighted.

There is no need to say much about the preciousness of the innate soil.

"I got this by accident."

"Besides, last time on the Treasure Sharing Cliff, I collected spiritual treasures with several fellow Taoists from Taiqing."

"Among them, Daoist Yuqing obtained a Jade Purification Bottle that can condense the Three Lights Divine Water. It's a good opportunity to ask for some."

Li Xuanyang briefly told Zhen Yuanzi about the incident of collecting the innate spiritual treasure from the Three Pure Ones on the Treasure Sharing Cliff, and introduced the functions of the Jade Purifying Bottle and the Three Lights Divine Water.

After hearing what Li Xuanyang said, even Zhen Yuanzi, who was so advanced in Taoism, was stunned and looked incredulous.

Encountering hundreds of innate magic weapons is unheard of.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun also found the Treasure Fen Cliff that day, but they didn't gain anything. They only collected a few innate spiritual treasures of ordinary quality, and then the Treasure Fen Cliff disappeared, as if it had been taken away by someone.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyang and Sanqing encountered hundreds of innate spiritual treasures.
