Chapter 828: Chapter 516: Explanation_2
Such Alchemy Skills, unlike the “Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture,” were grasped within a few months. True Person Ziyang did not withhold a single detail, sharing all his insights into the Alchemy Dao.
Thus, once Ziyang had finished discussing his Alchemy Method, True Person shifted his gaze and cast it upon the gathered Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods.
“This old Taoist…”
Seeing this, the immortals also felt helpless.
With this act, True Person Ziyang intended to lead by example, urging these Calamity Immortals to reciprocate by sharing some fundamental Mana Points in return, thus enriching this Pill Origin event.
In fact, even without Ziyang’s urging, they had similar thoughts.
…
In the Earth Immortal Realm, the concept of cause and effect is highly valued, and as Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods, they regarded it even more seriously.
Thus, reciprocation was inevitable.
Great Mercy Bodhisattva was the first to speak up, “This humble monk will humbly share the ‘Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra.’ I ask for Zhen Yuan and all the honored immortals to provide guidance.”
“The ‘Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra’?”
The immortals were also surprised when they heard this.
“This is indeed the fundamental scripture of the Great Mercy lineage!”
“The Bodhisattva is truly generous!”
“What can be done? That ‘Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture’ is of too high a quality, and the cause and effect too profound. If we don’t reciprocate with the ‘Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra,’ the ninefold Immortal Tribulations later…”
“It seems everyone must reveal their utmost skills now!”
The immortals muttered to themselves and then listened attentively and respectfully as the Bodhisattva spoke the scripture.
Even Xu Yang was very serious, listening to this Wonderful Skill.
And this listening lasted for ten years.
“Wonderful Dharma Lotus, Wonderful Dharma Lotus!”
After ten years passed, as the scripture concluded, the cultivators felt as if awakening from a dream. Xu Yang nodded repeatedly, not stinting in his praise, “Truly worthy of being a true scripture of Buddhism, the profundity of Zen is indeed deep, so deep!”
Great Mercy smiled upon hearing this, “With the Taoist’s wonderful words before, this poor monk merely humbly contributes.”
“The Bodhisattva is too modest!”
Xu Yang shook his head, rising spiritedly, “Who would like to exchange teachings next?”
No sooner had he spoken than Jade Pool Palace Master smiled, “Lady Yao admits to shallow cultivation compared to the Emperor and the Bodhisattva, and can only offer the ‘Taiyuan Sword Explanation.’ I ask for guidance from the Emperor and all the Immortal Clan.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, intrigued, “The Palace Master, residing in Jade Pool, is actually a Sword Dao true immortal?”
Lady Yao looked at him teasingly, “Does His Majesty imply that a daughter of Jade Pool is not suited to be a Sword Dao immortal?”
“Ha!”
Xu Yang chuckled softly, “It is I who was presumptive, my apologies, my apologies. Please forgive me, Palace Master!”
Lady Yao likewise smiled charmingly, “Do not take it to heart, my words were in jest.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Watching the two play off one another, the immortals were speechless.
What exactly was the Jade Emperor’s intent by sending this Jade Pool Palace Master here?
As such, the atmosphere turned subtly delicate, yet it did not affect the situation. Several Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods took the stage to expound on scriptures and techniques, revealing their utmost skills. Some spoke of the Longevity Method, others of the Skill to Protect the Dao.
“We three sisters have nothing of value, our cultivation methods are also unremarkable. We have only a formation that might be considered profound, and we ask the Emperor and all Taoists to evaluate.”
Three female cultivators took the stage, immediately causing amazement among the immortals.
“It’s Fairy Yun Qing of the Three Skies Sect!”
“The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?”
“They are willing to discuss such a life-critical technique?”
The group of Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods was inwardly shocked, causing the seated cultivators, unaware of this, to be perplexed.
“The Three Skies Sect?”
“I’ve never heard of it!”
“Ignorant and uninformed, it is a Taoism lineage of Immortal Gods, established in the East Sea Immortal Mountain, honoring the Ancient Immortal Gods, the Three Skies Celestial Monarch, as master. Its members include Yun Qing, Yun Ming, and Yun Yan, three female immortals, all revered as Calamity Venerables.”
“Although these three Rosy Clouds Fairies are newly acclaimed Calamity Venerables, the elder sister Yun Qing only recently entered the Second Calamity. Yun Ming and Yun Yan were just Mahayana five thousand years ago and are now merely at the One Calamity Realm, yet are renowned as powerful individuals in the East Sea.”
“It was only because during their time in the Heavenly Secret Realm, by a stroke of serendipity, the three sisters obtained the inheritance of the Three Skies Celestial Monarch from ancient times. They acquired a heaven-shocking skill called the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.”
“It is said that this formation is extremely powerful, capable of stripping the Three Flowers and the Five Qi, demoting immortals to mortals, turning life into death!”
“During the initial battles between immortals and demons, these three fairies deployed this formation outside the Demon Abyss, consecutively refining three Demon Lords to death, and have since become renowned throughout the Earth Immortal Realm.”
“At that time among the Three Skies Cloud Immortals, only the eldest sister had reached the Calamity Realm, while the other two were still in Mahayana. Yet, they were able to refine Calamity Realm Demon Lords, which shows just how formidable the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation is.”
“But this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, being the cornerstone and life-preserving skill of the Three Skies Sect, if its mysteries are publicly revealed, won’t it become vulnerable to exploitation in the future?”
The group of cultivators was abuzz with discussion, filled with shock and uncertainty.
The Three Skies Cloud Immortals, however, were unconcerned. When they came on stage and looked towards Xu Yang, they said, “Emperor, this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, obtained by us three sisters from the Heavenly Secret Realm, is incomplete and its power is not whole. If there are any errors or omissions, we request your guidance!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang responded solemnly, “Honored fairy, I am grateful for your regard. If I have any insights, I shall spare no detail in my explanation.”
“Thank you, Emperor!”
Yun Qing bowed slightly and began to explain, “The evil Yellow River Formation follows the Three Talents, this calamity befalls all celestial beings. Hidden within the ninety-nine bends is fate, and within every three bends, wind and thunder lurk. Idle talkers who claim to cultivate truth in the gardens of the gods, who says the sacred embryo forms at the spiritual platform? For those who encounter it, it’s a complete transformation of bones. Then they know the left path is unsuitable for mediation!”
“This Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, acquired by my sisters and me from the secret realm, internally abides by the Three Talents and externally sets up the Nine Palaces, concealing the mysteries of heaven and earth; it contains the Bewildering Immortal Elixir and the Sealing Immortal Decree, capable of erasing an immortal’s divinity, extinguishing an immortal’s soul, trapping an immortal’s form, damaging an immortal’s qi, and annihilating an immortal’s original essence and body parts. Immortals who enter it become mortals, and mortals who enter are immediately destined to die. It’s defined as: in the bends of the Nine Bends, no straight path can be found, through the bends the creation’s wonders are exhausted, as are the secrets of the celestials.”
“…”
As Yun Qing spoke, she symbolically performed the formation maneuvers; the marvels of the Nine Bends, despite being incomplete, astounded many immortals.
“Is this really the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?”
The immortals looked at each other, once again filled with shock and uncertainty.
“These Three Skies Cloud Immortals, with their incomplete skills and average strength, rely solely on the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation to carve out their renown today.”
“Now that they have publicly disclosed this life-preserving mana point, aren’t they afraid of being exploited in the future?”
“What you all do not know is that the three fairies are also helpless.”
“It is heard that inside the Demon Abyss, an old demon who has broken through, who was previously a fierce demon slain by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, has reached the Six Calamities Realm. This struggle in the Heavenly Secret Realm is likely aimed at targeting the misfortune of the Three Skies Sect.”
“This incomplete Nine Bends Yellow River Formation can only reduce the Three Calamities Immortal Fruit, and I fear it will be powerless against that Six Calamities Old Demon. If he really takes action, those three might not be able to save themselves.”
“Thus, the three can only think of ways to complete the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.”
“The best method is, naturally, to enter the Heavenly Secret Realm, delve into the mysteries of the Immortal Array, and address the deficiencies.”
“But now the time has not yet come; they cannot enter the Heavenly Secret Realm, and even if they could, they would still face obstacles from that Six Calamities Old Demon.”
“With no other options, the three could only come to Wuzhuang Temple, hoping that this Emperor of Ten Thousand Paths, who is proficient in all laws and a scholar of deities and humans, might be able to complete the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, even if just by a little.”
The gathering of immortals quietly spoke, explaining the previous causes and consequences.
Looking back at the stage, as the three fairies performed the formation, the Nine Bends Yellow River gradually manifested. Although it was only a symbolic performance, it still left many Calamity Immortals inwardly alarmed.
A mysterious force seemed to emanate from within, directly targeting the Three Flowers and the Five Qi, seeking to break the Taoist result of Immortal God Taoism.
Those with profound cultivation were naturally unafraid, but those of One Calamity and Two Calamities lacked such confidence.
“Nine Bends Yellow River!”
“Bewildering Immortal Elixir, Sealing Immortal Decree!”
As Xu Yang watched the symbolic maneuvers of the formation, he also became interested, “This formation specifically targets the Taoist result of Immortal God Taoism, capable of stripping the Three Flowers and the Five Qi, even affecting the Three Trials of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. Once within the formation, an immortal is demoted to mortal, and a mortal meets their fate.”
“Correct!”
Fairy Yun Qing nodded: “Unfortunately, this formation is incomplete and difficult to complete, only reducing the Taoist result below Three Calamities.”
Xu Yang smiled and saw the root of the issue, “Could it be due to the cultivation technique?”
“This…”
Yun Qing was surprised, then nodded, “Emperor, your insight is profound. Although my sisters and I obtained the inheritance of the Three Skies Ancestral Master in the secret realm, the cultivation technique is incomplete, and so is the formation. When activated, many things go awry.”
“It’s due to the cultivation technique, and I am helpless.”
Xu Yang smiled lightly and said, “However, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture I just transmitted is from the Taiqing Taoist Skill, directly pointing to the fundamental Tao; it might be able to supplement this deficiency and improve the formation somewhat.”
“Is it feasible?”
“You’ll know after you try!”
Xu Yang smiled, “I am quite interested in this formation. If the three fairies are willing, you may stay in South Observance to discuss this Tao together.”
“This…”
Yun Qing was taken aback, then regained her composure, exchanged looks with her sisters, and looking back at Xu Yang, she bowed deeply, “Emperor, your kindness is immense and without repay. If you do not mind, we three sisters would like to serve you as siblings, following you through life and death, never to part!”
