Chapter 354 Tai Su
time flies.
Before we knew it, it was already the end of July.
Fuqi Dao, near the sea, Tianjiaomen.
The void shattered, and the figures of Sangji and Kumarajiva emerged.
"Welcome, Your Holiness the Two Dharma Kings of the Secret Realm. The journey is long, please rest at the 'Welcoming Platform' for a while..."
A beam of light from the [Fighting Wood] sect came towards them, revealing the unremarkable Sanmu Zhenren.
The old man had a big smile on his face and was very polite.
"Since we're here, we should do as the host does..."
Sangji was in charge of the handover. He put his hands together and said to Sanmu Zhenren, "I wonder when and where Guangmu Zhenren plans to attain enlightenment?"
"Naturally, it's the first day of the eighth lunar month, the proper position of the [Horn Wood], which should be in the Yang Wood position, chosen at the Yin hour... As for the location? It's under the Spirit Toon Tree... This great Toon Tree is said to have been planted in ancient times, and the old master specifically instructed us to take its branches and leaves to make spiritual tea to entertain our distinguished guests..."
Sanmu Zhenren answered with a broad smile.
"good!"
When Sangji and the Great Dharma King Kumarajiva arrived at the welcoming platform, they saw that many high-ranking monks from the esoteric Buddhist tradition had already arrived.
The monks from Dakota Temple are all there, but for some reason, the Dharma King from Dazang Temple has not yet arrived.
"Hmph! Dazang Temple has recently been blessed by the World-Honored One. Not only have the monks made great progress in their Buddhist practice... but they've also gained a Purple Palace Dharma King for free..."
Inside the Daikokuten Temple, Yudoko couldn't help but speak up.
Sangji didn't take it seriously. His gaze swept across the area and he saw Houxuan Zhenren from Moyun Cliff, Lieyu Zhenren from Yinshi Sect, and several demon kings.
"As expected, demons have all arrived... I've heard that a dragon king will also come from the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, but the Purple Palaces of the Nine Heavens Fire Palace and the Wu-Yue Sword Pavilion are nowhere to be seen..."
……
Deep within Tianjiaomen.
Several rows of thatched huts were built under the big Chinese toon tree.
A beautiful Taoist nun, her robes slit all the way up to her thighs, emerged from the void, accompanied by a Taoist carrying a wooden sword.
These were Su Huan and Su Yuan, two Purple Mansion True Persons of the Heavenly Horn Sect.
They came together to the big ailanthus tree and bowed to the young-looking Master Guangmu: "Ancestor... the matter is accomplished."
"Um……"
Grand Master Guangmu opened his eyes, his pupils turning a deep emerald green in an instant: "This time... I will die if I fail... Hehe, I have lived for so many years, I have lived enough. To die seeking the Dao is to die without regret. However, the arrangements of the Dao lineage must be carefully considered... The seeds and secret treasures that have been sent out need no further attention."
He stood up, the wooden sword at his waist swaying slightly, as if it wanted to fly away, but he forcibly restrained himself.
A branch with green buds has sprouted from the top of Guangmu Dazhenren's hair.
The old master plucked the branch, not caring much, and casually tossed a jade bottle to Master Su Yuan: "This... after I attain enlightenment, you two can discuss who should use it."
"yes!"
The eyes of the two immortals, Su Huan and Su Yuan, were slightly red, and they understood that the old immortal was giving his last instructions.
The old master Guangmu, one hand on his wooden sword, gazed at the moonlight: "Tomorrow I will attain enlightenment, you don't need to watch... Go hide in the 'Hall of Desolation'... If I am still the same old man, I will naturally come to find you, if not..."
……
The "Desolate Palace" is located in a corner of the Heavenly Gate and contains mystical secrets.
Not to mention ordinary disciples, even Dao Foundation cultivators and Purple Mansion True Persons who occasionally pass by have little impression of this hall.
The mountain path was narrow, and the two immortals, Su Yuan and Su Huan, strolled one after the other into the dilapidated hall that looked like it was built of withered wooden planks.
The door creaked shut.
Su Huan and Master Su Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief. Su Huan said in a trembling voice, "The old master said he wasn't him... Could it be... that someone wants to replace him while seeking gold?"
"Shh..."
Master Su Yuan rubbed the wooden sword in his hand: "Be careful what you say... Our ancestor is a lucky man, nothing will happen. We will just follow orders..."
As he spoke, he had already opened the jade bottle.
There was only one item in the bottle: an ordinary-looking brown pill.
"This is……"
Su Huanzhen sensed it with his supernatural powers and his delicate body trembled violently...
……
At the same time.
After a busy day, the Venerable Leshan and Venerable Leshui sat cross-legged, gazing at the moonlight on the horizon.
The moon was already high in the sky.
A moment later, it will be the second day, the first day of the eighth lunar month, the time to seek gold!
"Senior brother..."
The Leshan Master hesitated to speak.
"What? Do you think our Canghai Sect has not only submitted to the Tianjiao Sect, but is also serving it hand and foot... Not only have you been traveling around the Taixu to help deliver invitations, but today I've also been welcoming and seeing off guests... Have you lost face?"
Master Le Shui smiled slightly.
"Senior brother... junior brother wouldn't dare." Le Shan quickly stood up and said respectfully.
"The time is ripe..."
Master Le Shui smiled and said, "You're right. I was almost fawning and obsequious... because I was afraid!"
"After the great waves subside and the ocean surges, true heroes emerge..."
"Many Golden Core cultivators once slumbered together, ignoring external affairs, and our Canghai Sect was able to live comfortably... But when True Lords walk the earth, and our sect's True Lord still does not respond, what should we do then?"
"Master Le Shui said softly."
The real person from Leshan's pupils trembled violently.
Senior brother's words seemed to confirm that their own backer, the Water Virtue True Lord, had already fallen!
In that instant, everything became clear to him: 'So, the only way is to become an ally of the Heavenly Horn Sect, just to secure a night's rest?'
Even if the Venerable Master Guangmu failed in his quest for gold, there is still that missing True Lord of the [Hornwood] path...
……
at the same time.
Qi Refining Path, Copper Immortal Island.
Fang Qing, wielding water and fire, continuously refined the spirit demon in its clothing, and the most crucial moment had arrived.
He transformed his magical power, and suddenly, within his Purple Mansion, the radiance of water and fire shone brightly.
A wisp of [Winged Fire] "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" and a wisp of [Wall Water] "Heaven's Life" swayed and shone.
It wasn't that Fang Qing didn't want to use the [Zhen Water] supernatural power, which was in the correct position of the Water Virtue, but rather that the Fire Virtue in his Purple Mansion was too strong. If he were to introduce another strong Water, it would easily cause trouble.
This is the result of his countless attempts to combine different supernatural abilities.
"Fire is inherently strong, so it should be countered by water, using gentleness to overcome strength... at least it can achieve coexistence."
In an instant, both supernatural powers were fully amplified on the Myriad Water Cauldron.
With the aid of the Phoenix Seeking Its Mate, the flames of "Dry Bones and Azure Flames" and "Blind Illumination" instantly became even more ferocious.
The Three Thousand Weak Waters and the Ice Soul Cold Spring, when integrated into the mystical "Heaven's Life", made the water even clearer and more mysterious.
Water and fire combined, embodying the principles of Yin and Yang, suddenly it was as if a knife had sliced through the clothing...
"what!"
A mournful wail faintly reached Fang Qing's ears. The jade-brown radiance that had sustained the spirit demon finally dissipated, transforming into wisps of cold, yin light that vanished completely under the impact of water and fire...
His clothes instantly burst into flames, turning into a cloud of ashes.
Only a golden light, which seemed to want to transform into a golden rainbow, was forced out of the void by water and fire, and then suppressed by the Myriad Water Cauldron.
Snapped!
Fang Qing rubbed his hands together, and the golden light finally dissipated, revealing the essence that supported the high status of the spirit demon—half a golden book!
"Um?"
He reached out and grabbed the book, only to find that half of it was missing, as if it had been torn off.
Not only that, countless seal characters roamed across the pages, baring their fangs and claws, carrying various Taoist powers, seemingly trying to completely transform him into a demon!
"snort!"
Fang Qing snorted coldly, connecting with the Metal element of the [Female Earth] attribute, and finally suppressed the half-book in his hand, looking at the first page.
These are not words, but rather patterns of heaven and earth. One must concentrate fully to comprehend them in order to gain some information.
After pondering it for a moment, he asked in surprise and doubt, "The Tai Su Golden Book? It's actually the second half of the Tai Su Golden Book?"
Fang Qing had not forgotten that he had read half of the "Tai Su Jin Shu" in the Tai Huang Tian back then, which gave him a lot of knowledge about gold, and his knowledge even surpassed that of ordinary people in the Purple Mansion Perfection stage.
Furthermore, the first volume describes the distinction between Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost, and the Five Immortals; how will the second volume fare?
Today, he finally met him.
"Indeed... the first half of the *Tai Su Jin Shu* describes how to seek gold, while the second half describes how to prove one's [year of destiny]..."
"The [Yearly Duty] rank is undoubtedly higher than that of a Golden Core True Monarch, and coupled with the fact that the writer also has some issues... together they created the high rank of this half of the 'Tai Su Golden Book'? At least the first half of the book didn't have such terrifying power..."
"Then how did it end up in the Zhou Tian Star Palace? Could it have been passed down by the Star Palace's founder? Or was it found somewhere in the Primordial Heaven?"
"This item... must be related to the True Lord who created the grotto-heaven..."
"The cultivators of Zhou Tian Xing Palace, have they been tricked? They only have the second half of the 'Tai Su Jin Shu,' which they can't understand at all... What they need is the first half, which describes how to obtain gold..."
Fang Qing let out a long sigh: "Regardless of how it came about, it came at just the right time... One must remain calm in the face of great events!"
He first put the "Tai Su Jin Shu" aside and then slapped the Wan Shui Ding.
Splash!
One by one, Nascent Soul magical artifacts and storage bags were spat out.
These were all spoils of war of the demonic spirits, and as they were completely refined, they finally all surfaced.
Fang Qing checked them one by one, her expression calm and composed.
After all, the wealth of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was no longer enough to move him in the slightest.
"what?"
When he opened a somewhat familiar plain white storage bag, he finally exclaimed in surprise.
"This item... seems to belong to that Fairy Luo of the Water Moon Palace. Hmm, this woman was indeed devoured by a spirit demon... All the good stuff is in the storage bag, there's even a Heavenly Infant Fruit? And a fragment of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"
Splash!
Fang Qing poured out a large number of jade slips and found that many of them had an ancient feel to them, and they seemed to be ancient cultivation techniques.
He made a hand seal with one hand, and after a brief deduction of cause and effect, he immediately understood: "Oh... so back in Ziwei Yuan, the place where Fairy Luo and that Great Zen Master first went was the location of the sutra repository..."
He wasn't particularly interested in these cultivation techniques, but one white jade slip, which recorded some insights from the Nascent Soul stage, caught Fang Qing's eye.
He slapped the Wanshui Cauldron, and the ashes that had been turned into clothing were expelled, with a wisp of silvery white color among them.
Fang Qing took out a piece of strange, silvery-white cloth and shook it gently, revealing countless shifting points of light: "This is... the coordinates for smuggling into the Void? With this, I can ascend to the Qi Path more easily? Heh... do I still need to smuggle myself in?"
He carefully collected all his gains, finally letting out a long sigh of relief. He then picked up the half of the "Tai Su Jin Shu" and slowly began to study it...
