Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 22: Perfection of the Dao (Two Chapters in One)
The next moment, Li Xuanyang regained consciousness and looked at the broken innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction in his hand. Without taking time to examine it carefully, he put it away together with the innate twelfth-grade white lotus of purification. The Zhoutian innate Xuanyang divine light and the black and white innate two-pole true fire derived from it and spread out, burning the surrounding demonic domain into pieces.

Only then did he discover that the innate Yin-Yang formation had already started to work. The magic power in his body was not flowing smoothly, and the three flowers of his soul were faintly suppressed. The Queen Mother of the West was even trapped in the magic light and was in a very embarrassing situation.

"Evil creature!" Li Xuanyang instantly thought of the evil creature hidden in the formation. It must be this evil creature that took the opportunity to control the operation of the formation.

"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"

Before the sound fell, suddenly the devilish light became brighter and roars were heard. A figure born from the devil's realm suddenly rushed out. Its shape was blurry and kept changing. Sometimes it turned into a figure, and sometimes it turned into a mass of nothingness. It was extremely weird.

"This thing is the incarnation of evil spirit, and it is very good at controlling devilish light. Fellow Daoist, you must not be trapped by it." Seeing Li Xuanyang break out of the devil's domain, Queen Mother of the West hurriedly reminded him.

"The evil spirit takes shape!" Li Xuanyang's eyes focused, and he felt that this was probably the thing.

This formation was invaded by evil spirits, and with the residual soul of the Demon Ancestor Rāhu and the broken innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, it was not surprising that an evil demon creature was born.

This evil creature is even related to the remaining soul of the Demon Ancestor Rāhu, otherwise he and the Queen Mother of the West would not have fallen into his scheme together.

"Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist. I will kill this evil creature first and then break the formation." Li Xuanyang said to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to kill this evil creature. Don't worry about me."

Now that there is no interference from evil spirits, faint white light emanates from the body of the Queen Mother of the West, which echoes with the five-foot-long willow branch in her hand and transforms into a series of spatial laws. It is truly wonderful. No matter how the evil light attacks, anything that encounters the white light will disappear in an instant.

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but applaud when he saw it. The law of space was revealed and turned into a magical power to protect himself. He separated himself with the mystery of space. Not only could he collect all things in the world, but he could also protect his whole body. It was extremely mysterious.

At this time, the evil creature roared, and the demonic energy and evil energy in the formation combined, producing countless demonic lights again, separating Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West.

At the same time, demonic energy rolled inside the formation, demonic light spread everywhere, and the innate yin and yang energy interacted with each other, turning into a demonic cloud that enveloped Li Xuanyang.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the devil cloud, Li Xuanyang stretched out his hand and pointed at the three flowers of his soul. Above the half-acre-sized cloud, a two-foot-tall emerald green jade palace lantern appeared. It was the innate spiritual treasure Liangyi Lantern, and it burst into black and white flames that shot up into the sky, and countless flames fell.

The black devil clouds that were covering the area were all burned to ashes. Above his head, the innate Xuanyang divine light evolved and emitted a golden innate body-protecting divine light.

Immediately afterwards, another object emerged from the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's soul. It was a three-foot-three-inch-long sword. Both sides of the sword were engraved with the innate divine text "Swallow the Moon and Devour the Soul". From time to time, it emitted bursts of golden sword light, as if it could devour the vitality of all things. It was three times more ferocious than the evil demons and evil creatures.

Li Xuanyang pointed his divine hand at the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword on the Three Flowers of Yuanshen, and suddenly countless golden sword auras were derived and rolled in the air. No matter whether it was the devilish light, devilish energy, evil spirits, or ghosts, they all disappeared and were all swallowed up by the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword. The sword body seemed to be more refined.

Seeing Li Xuanyang's Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, a hint of surprise flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Queen Mother of the West. It seemed that this sword could swallow and devour everything, and it was extremely domineering.

"What a killing sword! It's so ferocious that it can absorb demonic energy, evil spirits, and souls to strengthen the sword."

"How could Fellow Daoist Xuanyang possess such a ferocious sword?"

The evil creature roared again, and the evil aura filled its surroundings. Gusts of wind roared, and gusts of devilish wind emerged. The scene was very shocking.

This devilish wind is the Nine Netherworlds devilish wind, which can also be included in the innate number. The wind is accompanied by the devilish aura and hidden devilish light, turning into gusts of strong wind, which is combined with the innate yin and yang aura in the formation, and actually blew Li Xuanyang's Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword to shake left and right. The innate yin and yang true fire was also blown to flicker, as if it was about to go out.

The entire formation was filled with the pitch-black Nine Netherworld Demonic Wind, which made the sky dark, the sun and the moon dim, all life destroyed, and the demonic power overwhelming.

"Nine Nether Demonic Wind!" Li Xuanyang chanted softly, "This is a good time to test the power of my banana fan!"

The next moment, a palm-leaf fan emerged from the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's primordial spirit. The fan looked like jasper all over, and the surface of the fan overflowed with a bright glow. Li Xuanyang summoned it into his hand and fanned it vigorously at the Nine Nether Demonic Wind that filled the sky. The Nine Nether Demonic Wind in the formation stopped, and instead, the innate two-pole true fire of black and white raged with the wind, and flames shot up into the sky.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire's power. It not only blew out the Nine Nether Demonic Wind, but also directly drew the evil spirits into the wind and fire, using the wind to blow away their spirits and the true fire to burn their bodies.

In just a few moments, the evil creature was reduced to ashes by wind and fire. Its body disappeared, its soul was gone, and only a ball of pure evil spirit remained. It was completely devoured by the Moon-Devouring Soul-Devouring Sword. With bursts of sword sounds, the entire sword body emitted a ray of light, and its spirituality increased rapidly.

Li Xuanyang did not take back the three flowers of his soul, but only took back the innate spiritual treasures, the Liangyi Lamp, the innate Liangyi True Fire, and the Banana Fan into his soul. Holding the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword in his hand, he swung it fiercely towards the sky above the formation, and shot out a shocking sword energy.

With a loud bang, the innate Yin and Yang formation directly collapsed, and all the evil spirits, ghosts, and demonic energy contained in the formation were swallowed up by the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, leaving only two innate Yin and Yang energies, one yin and one yang.

The innate Xuanyang divine light on Li Xuanyang's body rolled up from the air, taking away the innate yin and yang energy, revealing the original appearance of this place.

Innate spiritual energy emerged out of thin air, and spiritual veins grew in clusters. From the two sacred mountains in the east and the west, wisps of yin and yang energy came.

These Yin and Yang energies were born from the two sacred mountains, and they converged here to form the foundation of the innate Yin and Yang formation.

This yin and yang energy does not fall into the innate number, it is only the acquired yin and yang energy, and it can also be considered a precious thing.

However, this action will damage the spiritual veins and luck of the two sacred mountains in the east and the west, and will also make the luck of the two mountains connected.

Seeing Li Xuanyang defeat the evil creature and break the innate Yin-Yang formation, the Queen Mother of the West withdrew the three flowers of her primordial spirit and bowed to Li Xuanyang, saying, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for obtaining this innate Yin-Yang energy. From now on, your Taoism will be complete, and the great path is within your reach."

"However, fellow Daoist, how do you intend to cultivate this innate Yin and Yang energy?"

Li Xuanyang also revealed a hint of a smile. Although there were many twists and turns this time, and he even nearly lost his body and soul, fortunately he escaped danger without any harm, and also obtained the Qi of Xuanhuang of Merit and the Qi of Innate Yin and Yang, which was a fruitful harvest.

"I have to thank you very much this time. Without your help, I would never have been able to get this opportunity."

"As for how to perform the ritual!"

Li Xuanyang had really not thought much about this matter. Originally, he only intended to use the pure yin method of the Queen Mother of the West as a guide to achieve perfection in his own Taoism and comprehend the innate two-yin and yang method.

But now that he has obtained the innate Yin and Yang Qi, not only can he perfect his own Taoism and comprehend the innate Yin and Yang Dao, he can even sacrifice and refine this innate Yin and Yang Qi into a protective item.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang suddenly thought of the Dao-enlightening artifact, and couldn't help but ask the Queen Mother of the West: "Daoist friend, do you want to remind me about the ritual of refining the Dao-enlightening artifact?"

"Excellent!" Queen Mother of the West applauded with a smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you indeed know about the Daoist artifact." "This innate Yin and Yang energy not only contains the Dao of the innate Yin and Yang, but also the Dao of the innate Yin and Yang. Not only can it help you comprehend the Dao of the innate Yin and Yang, but it can also be used to refine it into a Daoist artifact."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang chuckled, pointed to the sacred mountain in the east, and asked, "By the way, fellow Daoist, what do you plan to do with this place and this sacred mountain?"

"I will live in a sacred mountain in the west of Kunlun. The sacred mountain in the east will be left to the rest of my fellow Taoists."

Queen Mother Xi's heart moved, and she suddenly asked Li Xuanyang, "How about you take over this sacred mountain and use it as a Taoist temple?"

She actually hoped that Li Xuanyang could occupy this sacred mountain. It just so happened that she and Li Xuanyang were yin and yang, which matched the attributes of the two sacred mountains in the east and west.

Dongkun Mountain!
"Although this mountain is beautiful, it has nothing to do with me." Li Xuanyang shook his head and refused.

This place is too far away from the East China Sea, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth. Even if you occupy it, you may not be able to come here for hundreds of thousands of years.

In addition, he had no plans to change his Taoist temple. Xuanyang Mountain had the Chaos Spirit Spring and One Yuan Heavy Water, as well as the protection of the Innate Formation, which was comparable to the blessed land. There was no need to occupy another Taoist temple.

Besides, there might be another fate in this East Kunlun Mountain in the future.

"However, I plan to use this place." Li Xuanyang did not choose East Kunlun Mountain, but pointed to the place where yin and yang met in front of him.

"Daoyou, you intend to use this place to comprehend the Dao of the Innate Two Principles, and to refine it into a Taoist artifact!" It was not difficult for the Queen Mother of the West to guess Li Xuanyang's plan.

"Just as fellow Daoist said." Li Xuanyang was planning to use this place to comprehend the Dao of the innate two yin and yang and to refine a Taoist instrument.

This place was originally the intersection of the innate yin and yang, and it also gave rise to a large innate yin and yang formation, which is of great help in comprehending the innate yin and yang.

Not to mention, the wisps of yin and yang energy coming from the two sacred mountains in the east and the west are also good materials for refining spiritual energy.

"Please don't destroy the intersection of the spiritual vein and yin and yang for the time being." Li Xuanyang couldn't help showing a hint of apology.

This time, the Queen Mother of the West invited him to come and break the formation, intending to destroy the spiritual veins and the intersection of yin and yang in this place, and cut off the luck connecting the two sacred mountains in the east and west, so that there would be no connection anymore.

"It's just a trivial matter, there's no need to be like this, fellow Daoist." The Queen Mother of the West would naturally not refuse Li Xuanyang's request.

During these days, whether they were working together to break the formation or discussing how to deal with the Innate Twelve-Rank Destruction Black Lotus, they got along very happily.

Besides, Li Xuanyang was only temporarily borrowing the Yin and Yang energy here, which was just a small matter. She had no use for these Yin and Yang energies anyway. She even planned to destroy this place and sever the connection between the two sacred mountains, so that no Yin and Yang energy would be derived from it.

The Queen Mother of the West said goodbye to Li Xuanyang and returned to West Kunlun, leaving Li Xuanyang to stay there. She chose a clean bluestone to sit down, waved her hand and released the nine-headed feathered insect, asking it to guard the side to prevent any wild beasts in the mountains from disturbing her practice of refining the Taoist artifact.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the nine-headed feathered insect came out, it revealed its true body, shook its nine huge heads, and patrolled the surrounding area with a smug look on its face, scaring the wild beasts in the mountains to flee in all directions. It looked so majestic.

Li Xuanyang shook his head helplessly, then took out the broken Innate Twelve-Rank Black Lotus of Destruction that he had just obtained and examined it in detail again.

Just now in the formation, he only found tiny cracks everywhere, densely packed throughout the entire lotus body, and even a faint trace of sword energy remained. He felt that the lotus body contained endless destructive power.

But after a detailed inspection, he realized how serious the damage was to this innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction in the battle between Demon Ancestor Luohou and Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Apart from the cracks on the surface, even the origin was almost gone, and it seemed to contain endless destructive power.

In fact, it is just a facade, and the destructive power contained in the lotus body has long been gone.

"The remaining soul of Rāhu said that he planned to use the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus to re-refine and repair the treasure for proving the Tao." Li Xuanyang muttered to himself with a thoughtful look on his face.

He certainly wouldn't use the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus to re-refine and repair the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus.

Instead, he planned to use the intact innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus to devour the broken innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus.

Li Xuanyang did not expect to obtain the law of destruction. As long as he could become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he would be satisfied.

Of course, the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus is not yet mature, and there is also the broken innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus. It would be best to restore some of its origin so as to achieve the best effect.

At this moment, he just had an idea, but he himself didn't know whether he could do it or not. He could only talk about it later.

After collecting the broken innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, Li Xuanyang focused all his attention on deducing and perfecting Taoism, in order to lay the foundation of Taoism as soon as possible and refine it into a Taoist artifact.

In fact, he absorbed the innate yin and yang energy into his primordial spirit, and has been perfecting the Xuanyang Taoism, comprehending the innate yin and yang, and deducing the corresponding magical instruments for achieving enlightenment.

"One is Yin and Yang, the other is the two principles, yet the two are combined together. This innate Yin and Yang energy is truly mysterious."

"It can be said that chaos gave birth to Wuji, Wuji gave birth to Taiji, Taiji gave birth to Liangyi, and Liangyi became Yin and Yang."

"There are three thousand great ways, but they all lead to the same destination." Li Xuanyang showed the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Xuanyang divine light shot up into the sky, Xuanyang gave birth to Xuanyin, and Xuanyin gave birth to Xuanyang, and finally Yin and Yang coexisted, deducing the two principles from Yin and Yang.

This action seems very simple, but in fact it contains all kinds of mysteries and the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. It can only be achieved through long-term hard practice and great opportunities.

Over the next thousand years, Li Xuanyang devoted himself to hard practice, gradually perfecting the Xuanyang Taoism. The innate Xuanyang divine light in the three flowers of his soul had changed greatly.

Although it still looks like a golden divine light shining, it actually contains the principles of yin and yang and the two poles. The aura of the law is revealed, and between the yin and the yang, there is a mysterious derivation.

In addition, among the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's soul, the innate spiritual treasure Liangyi Lamp and the innate Yin and Yang Liangyi Qi evolved from each other, and he comprehended the innate Liangyi Dao.

Although he had only recently comprehended it and had just started practicing the Innate Yin-Yang Law, it was still extremely powerful.

The way of law is extremely mysterious and cannot be fully comprehended in a day or a night.
