Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 35: Xuan Yang vs. Tai Yi (Two chapters in one, please save)
"Nuwa!" Li Xuanyang and others frowned when they heard the voice. Last time when there was a sword fight and discussion on Taoism in Buzhou Mountain, Fuxi and Nuwa had also gone to witness it. They were also great masters of Qigong, and everyone had a good chat with each other.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared and spoke at this time. I am afraid that his words are meaningful. After all, the two of them are great saints of the demon clan.

"I wonder why fellow Daoist Nuwa called me and the others to stop!" Li Xuanyang stopped the cloud light and looked calmly at Nuwa in front of him, to see how she would explain.

"Nuwa greets the four Daoists!" Nuwa, dressed in palace attire, stood on a cloud and bowed to Li Xuanyang and the others. "The four Daoists are going to Buzhou Mountain for the sake of the matters concerning Daoists Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, and Dijun and Taiyi!"

Hearing this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of alienation in his tone, "Daoyou, why do you still ask when you already know the answer?"

Li Xuanyang then changed the subject, saying, "In just a few tens of thousands of years, countless fellow Daoists have perished at the hands of the demon race. Along the way, we witnessed the surroundings of Mount Buzhou filled with gloomy winds and demonic energy. There was no sign of cultivation at all. This clearly shows that the demon race has taken over the Heavenly Palace, and their dominance is now assured. They will rule the vast universe from now on."

Li Xuanyang's words were both a question and a sarcasm. Hearing this, Nuwa's face changed slightly and she couldn't help but sigh.

This time, they occupied the Heavenly Palace. Di Jun and Tai Yi gathered a large army to besiege the Taoist temple of Sanqing, forcing them to leave Buzhou Mountain and wipe out all the spiritual cultivators.

The beautiful Buzhou Mountain has been ruined into a mess. It no longer has the splendor it had tens of thousands of years ago, when it was full of sacred mountains and sacred places.

Nowadays, there are groups of demons and furry creatures everywhere, who have no morals and do not know the truth.

"I think that now even the Taoist friends Sanqing have to stay away from Buzhou Mountain and find another Taoist temple." Li Xuanyang said this lightly, but Nuwa felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard it. She couldn't help but think of the scenes in the past when everyone was discussing the Tao with each other.

"Given the current situation, even I am helpless." Nuwa looked at Li Xuanyang expressionlessly and explained, "The fact that Dijun and Taiyi occupy the Heavenly Palace this time is not to embarrass Taiqing and the other three Taoist friends. It is simply in accordance with the will of heaven. I hope the four Taoist friends will understand!"

"Forgive me!" Zhulong said sarcastically, "Di Jun and Tai Yi are extremely ambitious and simply want to dominate the prehistoric world. Do they really think that just because they have hundreds of millions of demons occupying the Heavenly Palace, they can control the operation of heaven and earth and control all the creatures in the prehistoric world, and that they can treat us, powerful people, as indifferent?"

"Even though the demon race now occupies the Heavenly Palace, it seems that the situation is inevitable, but do they think they can truly control the prehistoric world?" Li Xuanyang sneered and said, "That is wishful thinking. The hundreds of millions of demons are nothing but chickens and dogs."

After saying that, Li Xuanyang didn't care about Nuwa's expression. Divine light flashed around him and he went straight to Mount Buzhou.

This may not sound very nice, but Li Xuanyang was speaking the truth.

The demon clan has only five great saints who possess great magical powers, and their strength is not as good as that of the witch clan.

But on this vast land, there are so many people with great supernatural powers who are from the lineage of Qigong practitioners!
Among them, there are many who have forged magical instruments to achieve enlightenment, and there are countless cultivators who have reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian, which is by no means comparable to the current demon clan.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you and I sit down and rest for a few days?" Seeing Li Xuanyang riding the cloud light away, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Nuwa and suddenly spoke.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan is right. Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please rest here for a few days." Hongyun's mind moved, and he understood Zhenyuanzi's plan, and his eyes also fell on Nuwa.

"Thank you for troubling me, fellow Taoists. I will go ahead." Zhulong chuckled and rode away on the clouds.

Seeing this, Nuwa looked deeply at Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, and said calmly, "Then I will follow your advice and rest here for a few days."

At that moment, Nuwa sent down auspicious clouds. Although she was somewhat unhappy with what Li Xuanyang said just now, Nuwa also knew that Di Jun and Tai Yi were acting more and more domineeringly. They no longer took the powerful Qigong practitioners seriously and would gather a large army to attack them if they disobeyed.

Now, not only did they occupy the Heavenly Palace, but they also wanted to drive the Three Pure Ones away from Mount Buzhou. She was in a very difficult situation. Nuwa could still control the demon clan of Fengqi Mountain, but she couldn't say much to Di Jun and Taiyi.

........................

“It is indeed the Chaos Bell, an innate treasure!” Above Mount Buzhou, Di Jun, Tai Yi, San Qing and others suddenly heard a voice coming from the sky. They saw a golden cloud light approaching from afar above the void, on which stood a Taoist priest in a green robe, with a three-foot-three-inch-long sword hanging around his waist.

"I'm a little late, please don't blame me, fellow Taoists!" Li Xuanyang bowed to the Three Pure Ones and said with a smile.

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you've arrived at the right time." Taoist Shangqing's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and bowed to Li Xuanyang in return.

"Junior brother, you are right. You have come at the right time." Taoist Taiqing and Taoist Yuqing also stepped forward to greet Li Xuanyang.

When Di Jun saw Li Xuanyang show up, his face turned a little unhappy. Needless to say, he was obviously here to meddle in other people's business. He couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Daoyou, are you Xuanyang Zhenren from Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea?"

"I, Xuanyang, greet you three Daoists!" Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a strange light when he saw the innate treasure Donghuang Bell and the innate spiritual treasure Hetu Luoshu. He bowed to the three of them and said, "Why are you leading your army to cause endless slaughter instead of cultivating in Tanggu and Fengqi Mountain?"

"Fuxi greets fellow Daoist!" Fuxi returned a salute to Li Xuanyang, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally chose to remain silent.

Taiyi's face didn't look good either. Li Xuanyang showed up for no reason, which showed that Nuwa didn't dissuade him.

This put Di Jun and Tai Yi in a difficult position.

It’s not that the two of them are afraid of Li Xuanyang and Sanqing. At worst, they can just fight again.

Although it is unclear what kind of magical powers Li Xuanyang has, Di Jun and Tai Yi have the innate spiritual treasures River Map and Luo Shu and the innate supreme treasure Chaos Bell, so they are not afraid at all even if there is one more person with great magical powers.

However, this time it is not a life-and-death fight with Li Xuanyang and Sanqing, so it is inevitable that there will be twists and turns, and it will require more effort.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's question, Di Jun's eyes widened. "Since Fellow Daoist Xuanyang has come forward, I will, for your sake, offer you a generous gift as apology, provided you three leave Buzhou Mountain and do not cause trouble for the demon race and the Heavenly Court."

Li Xuanyang couldn't help but smile. Di Jun's words were somewhat insincere. Letting the Three Pure Ones leave Buzhou Mountain would not only allow them to completely occupy the land of Heaven, but also demonstrate the power of the demon clan. For Di Jun, it was a win-win situation, and all he had to pay was a mere gift.

After hearing what Di Jun said, the Taoist Shangqing could not help but say in anger: "Buzhou Mountain is the place where we, the Three Pure Ones, transformed into human form. How can we allow you, the demons, to occupy it!"

"Junior brother, you're right. Don't think you can just rely on the Chaos Bell and the River Map and Luo Shu, the innate spiritual treasures, to make the Three Pure Ones give up Mount Buzhou." Taoist Yuqing pointed at Di Jun and Tai Yi with anger on his face and said, "Hmph, a bunch of furry and horned people, do you think you're worthy of occupying Mount Buzhou?"

After hearing what Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Yuqing said, Di Jun's face changed. It seemed that today would not end peacefully.

"It seems we can only continue to fight with you fellow Daoists." Before Di Jun could finish, Taiyi suddenly spoke up, "As long as you fellow Daoists can defeat my Chaos Bell, we will immediately withdraw and never disturb you three fellow Daoists' quiet cultivation again. How about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi turned to Dijun and Fuxi and said, "Brother and fellow Daoist Fuxi, please support me and let me experience the Taoist practices and magical powers of you Taoists first." "I also want to see the mysteriousness of the innate treasure!" Li Xuanyang had just finished speaking when the Three Pure Ones waved their hands and said, "Daoist friends, please don't do that. Leave this battle to the three of us."

"Just relying on the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, is still unable to defeat the exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth."

"My three fellow Taoists, Buzhou Mountain is also the place where I transformed myself. It is just the right time to settle a cause and effect." A divine light flashed around Li Xuanyang. He took out the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword and revealed the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Xuanyang divine light shot up into the sky.

Above one of the three flowers of the primordial spirit, the innate Yin-Yang divine diagram, a magical tool for achieving enlightenment, hangs high, with strands of black and white light hanging down, surrounding the innate spiritual treasure Yin-Yang lamp, and emitting the extremely domineering innate Yin-Yang true fire.

Ever since this innate Yin-Yang divine diagram was created, Li Xuanyang has been nurturing it with his primordial spirit and has never used it to fight with anyone.

Today is a good opportunity to try out the mystery of the Taoist magic weapon, and also to witness the power of the innate treasure Chaos Bell.

"The magical instrument for achieving enlightenment and the innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Lamp!" Taiyi's face changed slightly when he saw the scene in the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's primordial spirit. No wonder this Taoist Xuanyang was not afraid of the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell. It turned out that he had the magical instrument for achieving enlightenment and the innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Lamp, to protect him.

Well, let him see the power of the innate treasure today.

Taiyi let out a light shout, revealing his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a huge three-legged golden crow appeared, burning all over its body with the extremely domineering true fire of the sun. The sky was illuminated by a blaze, and bursts of power burst out.

"The true fire of the sun, the Dharma image of the soul!" Li Xuanyang did not dare to be careless. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the innate Yin and Yang divine diagram on the three flowers of the soul, which unfolded above Mount Buzhou. The innate Yin and Yang laws were derived, one yin and one yang, like a Tai Chi diagram. Rays of black and white divine light overflowed and swept towards Tai Chi's whole body, accompanied by wisps of fire. It was extremely mysterious and powerful.

Seeing this, Taiyi summoned the Chaos Bell in his hand, and the sound of bells rang out in the air, resounding over billions of miles, fixing the wind, water and fire of the earth. Countless spatial ripples spread out, and forcibly fixed Li Xuanyang's magical tools for enlightenment, the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram and the Innate Yin and Yang True Fire. No matter how the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram shone with thousands of divine lights and the Innate Yin and Yang True Fire burned domineeringly, manifesting the Innate Yin and Yang Law and magical powers, they could not break free from the Chaos Bell.

In the past, when the great god Pangu created the world, the precious Pangu Axe was shattered and turned into several innate treasures, among which was Taiyi's Chaos Bell, also known as the Donghuang Bell, which is the best at suppressing space.

Even the great god Pangu had used the Chaos Bell to suppress the earth, wind, water and fire. Therefore, even if Li Xuanyang's Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram and Innate Yin and Yang True Fire were extremely powerful, they could hardly escape the suppression of the Chaos Bell.

Li Xuanyang had already prepared for this. He let out a light shout, and the Xuanyang Sutra in his body began to circulate. The innate Xuanyang divine light around his body shot up into the sky and fell into the innate Yin and Yang divine diagram, emitting billions of divine lights and evolving the innate Yin and Yang laws.

This innate law of yin and yang is one of the three thousand great ways, and is also one of the origins of the ancient world. It caused the Chaos Bell to ring continuously and the bell body to shake violently.

"Fellow Daoist, what a magical power, what a magical weapon!" Taiyi felt the Donghuang Bell shaking continuously, and the spiritual power on it seemed to be dissipating. His eyes shone brightly with gold, and he shouted softly, "Sun God Light, rise!"

The next moment, the three-legged golden crow let out a long cry towards the sky, and a golden divine light rose up, going straight into the sun and stars above the thirty-three outer heavens, drawing down a ray of solar divine light.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful. This is the extremely overbearing Sun God Light. It can dissolve the cultivator's body and burn his soul." Taoist Shangqing had just experienced the overbearing power of Emperor Jun's Sun God Light and knew the mystery of this light. Seeing Taiyi also using the Sun God Light, he couldn't help but remind him.

This solar divine light is the accompanying magical power of Di Jun and Tai Yi. Tai Yi's solar divine light and Di Jun's solar divine light seem to be very similar, but in fact there are subtle differences between the two.

"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten that I have attained enlightenment through the innate Xuan Yang Qi!" Li Xuanyang let out a long roar, facing the falling sun's divine light without dodging or avoiding. He only felt that his whole body was warmed by the light, and his soul felt extremely comfortable.

His true body is the innate Xuan Yang Qi, which is extremely Yang. Not to mention a ray of solar divine light, even if he is on the sun or a star, it cannot hurt Li Xuan Yang at all.

"Nice magical power, but it's useless to me."

As he spoke, Li Xuanyang swung the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Sword in his hand, sending out streams of sword energy, like a sword energy storm.

This sword energy is different from the innate sword energy of the Shangqing Taoist. It is extremely vicious and contains a trace of evil spirit. It can devour the cultivator's body and devour his soul to strengthen and nourish the sword body.

"This is a killing sword!" Sword Qi fell on Taiyi's protective divine light, and he felt his soul pause. The huge three-legged golden crow's Dharma image felt as if its heart was being bitten by thousands of ants, and it was in unbearable pain.

"Boom!" The Chaos Bell suddenly rang, shaking away Li Xuanyang's magical tool for achieving enlightenment, the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram.

Then there were several more bell sounds, which dispersed the sword energy in the sky. Taifang felt much better and was shocked. If it weren't for the Chaos Bell protecting him, he would have suffered a great loss from Li Xuanyang's sword.

This sword looks ordinary. It is neither an innate spiritual treasure nor a magical tool for achieving enlightenment. However, it can devour the soul of a physical body and destroy the true spirit of a person.

Even if a person with great supernatural powers is not careful, he will end up dead and his soul will be gone. His body and soul will be devoured by this sword. It is really vicious.

He couldn't help but admire Li Xuanyang's sword. "Your sword is truly extraordinary, a killing sword. However, it's wishful thinking to think that it can counter my Chaos Bell."

Li Xuanyang was not surprised to see that the Moon-Devouring Soul-Devouring Sword had failed to work. Instead, he was eager to try again.

After all, Taiyi has an innate treasure to protect him, and ordinary magical powers are difficult to break through the Chaos Bell.

"This Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword is only an acquired spiritual sword. It is indeed far inferior to fellow Daoist's innate treasure, but I want to give it a try." Li Xuanyang's body was illuminated by a flash of light, and it merged with the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword in his hand. Man and sword became one, transforming into a sword light, and flew straight towards Taiyi.

"It's all in vain." Taiyi sneered, and without dodging, he sacrificed the innate treasure Chaos Bell, which fell on the three-legged golden crow's Dharma image and crashed into Li Xuanyang's Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword.

The Chaos Bell collided with the sword light, and with a loud "bang", billions of miles of void were shattered, and countless space fragments flew everywhere.

Taiyi only felt his eyes go dark, and his whole body was numb from the shock. He was shocked and angry. This Taoist Xuanyang was obviously a great master of the Qigong lineage, and he was not the ancestor of the witch clan. How could he have such great strength!

Li Xuanyang was also greatly shocked. The Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Sword in his hand emitted bursts of mournful cries, which was obviously far inferior to the Chaos Bell.

This Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword was made by sacrificing the flesh of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede. Although it is very vicious, it can devour the flesh and soul of living beings to strengthen the sword.

However, the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Centipede only had the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal Realm, and had not yet refined a magical weapon to achieve enlightenment.

Even though Li Xuanyang nurtured it with his primordial spirit for hundreds of thousands of years, it was still only an acquired sword, far less solid than the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell.
