Chapter 409 Baishui Mountain
Inside the meditation room.
Fang Wuchen sat cross-legged and swallowed the Great Yuan Pill.
This pill is perfectly round, drawing down celestial light, like a small sun.
When the elixir enters the abdomen, it is like swallowing the sun. The essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon converge, balancing yin and yang and canceling each other out. Instantly, the chronic illness is cured, and even wisps of purple energy are generated, which greatly benefits cultivation.
He opened his eyes, somewhat incredulous: "It's all better?"
"No wonder Master once said—'Even the magnificent Golden Fire still needs to worship the Sun and Moon—' This Taiyin lineage is incomparably profound, comparable only to the Great Sun lineage; even the Golden Fire is inferior."
"Is what this Vajra Power Master said true? If so, why did the Wuxiang Monastery only send one disciple to make contact instead of the Dharma King?"
Fang Wuchen pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is probably similar to his reasons; they're all just small fry.
If anything goes wrong, we'll deal with it immediately and cut ties—without the slightest hesitation and without much loss.
For the secret teachings, is the transference of knowledge considered a loss?
If one is unable to overcome this, it would be a loss; but wouldn't the Dharma King have as many disciples as he could ever want?
He shook his head and walked out of the meditation room, where he saw Vajra Power Master under a Bodhi tree, holding a Bodhi seed in his hand: "Water is said to flow downwards, fire is said to rise upwards, wood is said to bend and straighten, metal is said to yield and change, earth is said to cultivate and harvest—for longevity and long life, one must cherish it."
.
Fang Wuchen was taken aback. He had exchanged a few words with this Vajra Power Master about Daoist matters, and he felt that the other party's Daoist cultivation was so high and his knowledge of the Five Virtues so extensive that he was simply not like a Daoist master.
Even ordinary Purple Mansion True Persons might not be able to compare!
"You seem to be much better now, so I won't see you off."
Fang Qing put down the Bodhi seed in his hand and said calmly.
"Thank you for your help, Du Zi. I'm off now."
Fang Wuchen nodded, stepped into the void, and vanished instantly.
Only then did Wunengshengduzi stand behind Fang Qing and bow respectfully: "Venerable One—"
"It's alright, you did a great job this time."
Fang Qing waved his hand, then remembered the invitation from Shou Cangxuan.
"The fact that the Great Snow Mountain sent the Buddhist disciple to the Great Treasury Temple is clearly related to the matter of [Kui Mu]—it seems that the Great Sun Tathagata is also making a statement."
"But there's no rush—"
"The most urgent task now is to open the Mysterious Void Heavenly Cave!"
One Sangji, equivalent to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and another Kumarajiva, equivalent to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, may not be enough.
We still need to strengthen our own strength—not the other side, but ourselves!
Fang Qing has already perfected the three supernatural powers, and only lacks the last one, the "Moon in the Well" supernatural power. Once he has all four powers, he will have even more power, whether he activates the true treasure of the "Skin Thangka of the Master of the Corpse Forest" or manipulates the metal elemental position.
The Qi Refining Path is responsible for gathering Qi, and now it's not ordinary people, but a Nascent Soul cultivator comparable to a Great True Person, who's doing the work—with Tara's assistance as well, the process should be quite fast.
It takes mortals ten years to absorb Qi, but a Nascent Soul cultivator might only need a few months.
Besides that, there's Xu Hei's side. He can be ordered to go to the vicinity of the Yin Corpse Sect to obtain the "Rebirth Soil" supernatural power chapter.
However, I possess the Dao Foundation Chapter and the [Female Earth] Metal Nature, and I have comprehended the Purple Mansion Chapter. Within a few months, I can pursue both simultaneously.
Even if Fang Qing achieves the Four Laws, he is still only a Great True Person of the Four Laws of [Ji Shui]. He is ultimately a step behind in using the True Treasure of [Nu Tu]. However, if he is a Great True Person of the Four Laws of [Nu Tu], and he uses the True Treasure of [Nu Tu], his power will be extraordinary.
However, there is still a problem: the Wuxiang Temple of All Beings only has three supernatural powers passed down.
Therefore, Fang Qing himself had to complete the final step of the "rebirth soil".
However, given his cultivation level, his understanding of the Golden Nature, and the presence of Xu Heiduzi, it was not a difficult task.
"I just don't know if I can make it in time—oh well, if I can't, then that Bai Ze's luck has run out, and it deserves to be destroyed; if I do, then its life wasn't meant to end."
"Invincible!"
With this thought in mind, Fang Qing gave another instruction.
"Please give your instructions, Your Excellency."
Incompetence almost made him prostrate himself in defeat.
"I will go into retreat at Hayagriva Temple and practice the Acala Vidyaraja's luminous stages."
"Fang Qing said calmly.
The world is undergoing a great transformation. Crucially, the Wuxiang Temple will now be involved in the Xuanxu Heaven, standing against the True Lords.
What if a true lord couldn't accept defeat and wiped out Xituo County with a single slap? Wouldn't that be a great injustice?
A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, so he openly chose to go into seclusion in the Secret Realm. Not only is the Great Sun Tathagata in charge here, but the Secret Realm Origin is also protecting it. Ordinary True Lords might not have the courage to do so.
They would secretly make their move from the Qi Refining Path, ensuring absolute safety.
As for the Temple of No Life? The Path of White Bones—
If they really get implicated, then they can only blame their bad luck.
Southern Wu.
Baishui Mountain.
This mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles, is extremely beautiful, and a great river flows through it, dividing it into north and south.
North of the Yangtze River, a continuous stretch of military tents stood, their banners blazing like fire, shimmering like rolling crimson clouds, embodying the spirit of fire and soaring straight into the sky.
Inside the command tent, the radiance of the [Winged Fire] converged, turning the area crimson. It seemed that countless maids and priests were accompanying them, arranged in formation and waiting for orders, their majesty shaking all directions.
-
Above the ground, crimson and white clouds churned, within which countless dragons and serpents writh—
A True Immortal descended in a beam of light and respectfully announced his arrival from outside. Only then, guided by a divine official, did he stroll into the commander's tent.
Splash!
Beside them, a flame rose up, transforming into a blazing fire serpent that rolled on the ground.
This Xia Shuai is rumored to be the reincarnation of a great figure from the Cave Heaven—originally a direct descendant of a Golden Core True Monarch, he has been reincarnated to seek the [Winged Fire]—just judging by his aura, people would believe he is the reincarnation of the [Winged Fire] of the Golden Nature—he also has the merit of conquering the South, in this world, who can compare with him?
The Purple Mansion True Man felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Xia Yuanqi had a very powerful background, and even the emperor of Northern Zhou had to show him respect.
He took a few more steps forward and saw a magnificent man dressed in a Qilin-themed outfit.
His face was solemn, his body was tall and slender, and four divine rays of light surrounded him, which converged into a mysterious and wonderful shape, like a red glow that turned into auspicious clouds behind his head.
This person is none other than Xia Yuanqi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Zhou's southern expedition. He is also a Purple Mansion Great True Man who seeks to achieve the ultimate in the four methods of the [Winged Fire] position and to perfect his supernatural powers!
"Guan Hong greets Commander Xia!"
Master Guan Hong bowed meticulously.
"Get up, what is the situation in the south?"
Xia Yuanqi toyed with a tiger tally in his hand and asked a question seemingly casually.
"Reporting to Commander Xia, the Southern Wu has raised an army of 100,000, gathering south of Baishui Mountain. They have also widely recruited feudal lords, summoning wandering knights and swordsmen from the north—the number of cultivators is now likely no less than ten thousand—led by Li Hu, Li Que's cousin. Although previously unknown, he is now a Grand True Person of the Golden Virtue realm, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow—perhaps comparable to the Four Laws Purple Mansion."
Master Guan Hong answered meticulously, "There are also rumors that the Emperor of Wu has personally led the expedition and has probably already arrived at the front lines—"
Xia Yuanqi's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile: "Perfect for a single battle to destroy a nation, capture its leader, then breach its capital, trample its nobles on horseback, behead its lords with swords, massacre the city for three days, and let blood flow like a river—"
Upon hearing this, Guan Hong Zhenren felt an overwhelming aura of corpses and blood rushing towards him, and his heart trembled.
As expected, our Northern Zhou is determined to annihilate Wu in one battle, so as to witness its devastating war, its destruction of the country, and its massacre of cities.
At that time, this person will be a Golden Core True Monarch—after more than eight thousand years of antiquity, we True Men have finally waited for the most suitable opportunity to attain the Golden Core—
raging!
Just as Master Guan Hong was sighing with emotion, in the corner of the commander's tent, the writhing crimson snakes transformed again, becoming water birds, poised to take flight. Water and fire merged, and even began to burn—
Water is burning—such a illogical thing is perfectly reasonable in the Dao of Qi.
Xia Yuanqi watched as the burning water transformed into white birds, intertwining with the red serpent, and sighed inwardly: "The Kan Yuan Submerged Water is ultimately lacking—[Winged Fire] is the way of water and fire complementing each other, with wind fueling the flames—[Wall Water] spirit fire is good, but [Wind Basket Water] would be even more suitable—but alas, in this world, I wonder if there are still any [Wind Basket Water] Grandmasters left; otherwise, I would definitely recruit them, greatly enhancing my prestige."
South of Baishui.
Countless Wu and Yue soldiers with short hair and tattoos gathered together, forming hundreds of small camps, which were quite scattered.
The swordsmen of Wu and Yue were fond of chivalry, private duels, and numerous feudal lords—making it virtually impossible to maintain unified command, and the camps were much more chaotic than those of Northern Zhou.
But precisely because they valued their promises above all else, upon hearing of the Northern Zhou's southern campaign, not only did numerous feudal lords send their private armies to aid them, but also countless swordsmen and martial arts masters from the cultivation world flocked to their aid.
Amidst the clouds, Li Bi watched as streaks of sword light surged toward him, carrying an unwavering resolve, yet he felt a complex mix of emotions within him.
-
He gazed at the sword lights of those who had attained the Foundation Establishment level and were there for the country, even disregarding their own lives.
But they knew that the tide would eventually turn against them, and that the Kingdom of Wu was destined to be destroyed, perhaps even its entire city massacred, with countless deaths and injuries.
Even these cultivators were nothing more than sacrifices.
"The tide is surging, unstoppable, and irreversible—"
Li Bi murmured to himself. He could have stayed in Qiantang as the prince in charge of the capital, but he insisted on coming here because he had a lot of resentment in his heart that he could not express.
Arriving at this point, he was merely resigned to his fate, thinking that at worst he would die on the battlefield, which was better than witnessing the later destruction of his country and family.
call out!
Another sword light came from the south, heading straight into the White Water.
That flying sword was thick and ancient, resembling a door panel.
The person within the flying sword light was a young man, his body brimming with golden virtue energy, clearly indicating that he had already reached the Dao Foundation stage.
At that moment, he arrived on his sword, his voice like thunder: "I, Yun Wuxin, have arrived! This battle will surely make me famous throughout the world!"
The surrounding swordsmen immediately turned their attention to him, wondering, "Whose general is this man, so brave and fierce?"
A cultivator below recognized him: "This is Yun Wuxin, the grandson of the Yun family's lord—back in the Qiantang Sword Gathering, his flying sword ranked second-grade, making him famous throughout the world—later, after his Dao foundation was established, he earned the title of 'Yun Ting Swordsman,' and can be considered a generation's sword immortal."
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Bi covered his face with his sleeve: the despicable and the noble mingled, chivalrous spirit and intrigue intertwined, all converging on one mountain—this battle at Baishui Mountain truly resembled the world.
