The Sea of Sinking Moon.
The sky was dim, the waning moon had not yet faded, and the sun had not yet risen.
The essence of the sun and moon is about to converge, making it the perfect time for a breakthrough.
On a large island.
"The Sea of Sinking Moon — I never imagined that this place would be the site where the ancient demon sage, 'Bi Yue Wu,' perished —"
The old Taoist priest Sanmu still sat cross-legged on a piece of green rock, with only one arm and one hand.
The attack by that Great Immortal Yaoyue using the Taiyin magic weapon not only caused him to lose a hand, but also permanently destroyed that part of his body, which even supernatural powers could not restore.
But at this moment, the old Taoist's eyes shone even brighter: "Having survived such a calamity, I am sure to be blessed with good fortune—I never imagined that I would actually receive provisions for seeking gold—"
He smirked slightly, then his expression turned grim.
Clearly, the mastermind behind the scenes has made no attempt to conceal their true intentions.
But even so, what can be done?
According to his observations, the "Sinking Moon Sea" is filled with great terror, and now he can't even leave this island!
Even more so, taking one step could mean death!
But if a few more moments pass and the danger from the sea spreads ashore, death is inevitable!
This danger even sealed off the Great Void, turning this small island in the mortal world into a forbidden zone for even a True Immortal of the Purple Mansion!
"The only hope lies in making money!"
"Once you achieve the status of a True Lord, you can go anywhere in the world!"
Old Daoist Sanmu sat cross-legged, gazing at his damaged Purple Mansion and supernatural powers: "This state of divine injury and physical destruction does indeed fit the imagery of a missing position—"
Suddenly, his expression changed.
The wind blows, bringing moisture from the sea.
Amidst the moisture, there are also glimpses of inspiration.
"A change in the spiritual atmosphere? Such a change affecting the entire world, could it be that someone with perfected supernatural powers is seeking gold? This is—the spiritual atmosphere of Taiyin? Within the spiritual atmosphere of water virtue, there is a trace of the spiritual atmosphere of Taiyin, could the seeker of the Dao be a Taiyin True Person?"
For some reason, the old Taoist priest Sanmu thought of Yaoyue.
In today's world, those who seek the seeds of the Taiyin Dao are extremely rare.
"If that's the case, then this old Taoist priest hasn't lost out at all—"
His expression gradually turned cold as he silently adjusted his breathing, waiting for the moment the sun would rise in the east.
Now that the spiritual atmosphere has changed, it is most suitable for that Lesser Yin Moon Secret Method. If you do not seek gold, you will surely die!
If you're looking for gold, at least there's still a sliver of hope!
finally----
At the moment of sunrise, the primordial purple aura appears, and the essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon converge.
"This humble Taoist, Sanmu of the Chuli Sect, today sought the Dao and attained enlightenment at the Shenyue Sea. It is a pity I was unable to invite my fellow Taoists to witness this ceremony."
The Taoist Sanmu slowly stood up, his voice resonating and echoing throughout the vast emptiness.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Scattered wood, if used as a boat, will sink; if used as a coffin, will quickly rot; if used as a vessel, will quickly break; if used as a door, will succumb to liquid; if used as a pillar, will be eaten by insects. It is useless wood, utterly unusable, hence its longevity—this is the principle of 'useless wood, yet fortunately surviving.' Alas—the old Taoist has already become useful."
In an instant, one after another, supernatural powers lit up.
Countless crisscrossing wooden marks appeared on the old Taoist Sanmu's face, and his body exuded the aura of age and the cycle of life.
His eyes also turned emerald green, sparkling like stars.
On the island, camphor and willow trees appear, and children play among them.
Clumps of white wormwood spread out, dotted with fireflies, like shooting stars chasing the moon.
【Doumu】Supernatural Powers – Camphor Willow God!
【Doumu】Supernatural Power - "Gathering Shadows"!
The cries of cranes pierced the sky and clouds, one after another, pure white red-crowned cranes danced and circled in mid-air—
【Doumu】Supernatural Power - Crane Cry Pavilion!
These three divine powers shone brightly, converging into one place, transforming into a scroll painting of a spring outing in the wilderness, with cranes crying out.
Countless emerald green energies surged from the old Taoist Sanmu's body, transforming into a Taoist robe covered with plants, insects, and fish.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a bright moon.
finally----
A somewhat surreal wooden bridge appeared, spanning the sky!
The bridge gradually turned golden, and beneath it, water reflected the moon's image.
The old Daoist Sanmu ignited all four of his supernatural powers, his aura soaring to the peak of his life. Standing on the golden bridge, gazing at the northern stars, he strolled leisurely.
To the north of the sky, a pale green star displayed a variety of strange phenomena, seemingly echoing the True Man Sanmu, with countless mysteries falling upon it.
That is the wonder of worshipping Taiyin and the Dao Pivot of Female Transformation!
It is the pivot, the handle, the bridge, and the balance!
It's the [Doumu] metal position!
A golden hue gradually crept into the old Taoist's eyes as he moved closer to the northern sky atop the bridge, attempting to align himself with the golden position.
One step, two steps, three steps —
Wild grasses and flowers sprouted from the tips of his hair, and with each step he took, the Daoist manifestation on his body became more and more pronounced, as if he would transform into a mountain spirit or wood demon in the next instant.
He took nine steps, gazing at the other end of the bridge, which still seemed impossibly far away.
That was the [Doumu] position, the main position, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "The moon in the water, the flower in the mirror—nothing more than that, nothing more than that."
"The Lesser Yin Moon should never have sought the position of master—even if I used that portion of the gold offerings, I am ultimately a piece of rotten wood and have no such destiny."
Old Daoist Sanmu arrived at the edge of the Golden Bridge, gazing at the shallow and illusory pool of water.
On the surface of the water, a bright moon was clearly reflected!
No, that's not the bright moon, but the reflection of the metal position of the [Doumu] constellation, transformed by a wisp of the mysterious moon!
"The Lesser Yin and the Moon, though incomplete, shine brightly!"
Old Taoist Sanmu leaped down.
His desire to climb higher is becoming increasingly difficult.
But with a light leap, he reached the top in one swift motion and embraced the illusory golden moon in his arms!
[Doumu] The metal position trembled, and a strange wave passed through the void, spreading far and wide throughout the entire world!
Following this, a voice said: "I am Sanmu, now I prove that the position of [Doumu] is vacant, and I am called Shaoyin Xuanhao Zhen". Later Xia, the original land of Nanwu.
Splash!
The torrential rains have been falling continuously for many years, drowning countless lives.
-
Only aristocratic families, with the help of Dao Foundation Formations, can barely maintain their status quo, but even they can only mind their own business.
This day.
A gentle breeze blew, and the dense, almost impenetrable rain clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the rising sun.
An old farmer, working under the formation of a noble family's fiefdom, raised his head, gazing at the long-awaited sun, his eyes slightly narrowed.
A similarly aged voice reached his ears: "I, Sanmu, now acknowledge the vacancy of the [Fighting Wood] position and am hereby given the title 'True Lord of Lesser Yin Mysterious Artemisia' —"
The old farmer didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, but looking at the finally receding flood and rain clouds, his lips moved, and he knelt down tremblingly: "Thank you, old immortal!"
Nine Heavens Fire Palace.
"The 'True Lord of Lesser Yin Mysterious Artemisia'—he actually succeeded."
Xia Yuanqi, dressed in a crimson Taoist robe, possessed supernatural powers that had already reached their peak, and at this moment, a vast aura still surrounded him.
Countless crimson clouds rose, vaguely revealing scenes of war, destruction, and massacre. There was also a city of Southern Wu, seemingly Qiantang, where countless old, weak, women, and children screamed and wailed in agony amidst the ravages of war, as if forever trapped in the cycle of death at the moment the city fell.
-
All of these elements combined to create the indescribable phenomenon of "Winged Fire," which manifests as blazing, calamity, and scorching heat.
What a disaster!
A flash of fire!
The three highest-ranking flag bearers of the Nine Heavens Fire Palace appeared and bowed in unison to Xia Yuanqi: "Greetings, Daoist Master! The grotto-heaven has decreed that we request gold today!"
"It should have been done long ago—"
Xia Yuanqi stood up, his body radiating auspicious energy. He not only possessed the aura of the [Winged Fire], but also seemed to embody the destiny of the later Xia dynasty, making his fate and fortune incomparably precious.
"Back when the Qiantang River was ravaged, I could have sought gold—how could the mere spiritual energy of the Southern Water element affect me?"
The pursuit of gold cannot be carried out within the cave.
He took a step and arrived at a nine-story platform, surrounded by phoenix patterns engraved in fiery red jade, with various spiritual flames burning fiercely.
A flag bearer laughed, "It did have some impact on the Daoist—but now that this 'True Lord Shaoyin Xuanhao' has successfully sought gold, the spiritual atmosphere of heaven and earth has changed drastically, and the warm breeze should dispel the anger! Spring days are long, the flowers and trees are lush, and the gentle south wind can soothe the anger of our people. This is the nurturing power of wood; wood generates fire, and it is the perfect time!"
"Hmph, if we were to ruin that important matter, I would suggest that we should have sought the gold before that Shaoyin Xuanhao True Lord last night, using my Dao attainment to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth towards the element of fire, directly annihilating him and ending it all—"
Xia Yuanqi stretched out his hands, and a flag bearer beside him immediately helped him change into a crimson sacrificial robe. Upon hearing this, the flag bearer smiled obsequiously and said, "With Daozi's talent, this is naturally the case—but the Great Sage on Luofeng Mountain previously said that it must be sought after the 'True Lord Shaoyin Xuanhao' attains enlightenment, so that the fire elemental energy can change the world and influence the subsequent great battle—"
The last flag bearer, having lost the Heavenly Blazing Flame Banner, had no flag to wield. Holding a pair of Black-Scaled Cloud-Stepping Boots, he meticulously stated, "That person is seeking gold in the Sunken Moon Sea. The Sunken Moon Sea is where the Great Sage Bi Yuewu perished. According to the Great Sage Liao Yu Xie Tian, it seems he intends to use this gold-seeking quest to activate and destroy all the remaining resources after Bi Yuewu's fall—this is also the intention of the Cave Heaven. After all, the Great Sage Bi Yuewu in ancient times devoured gold and fire, and even killed two True Lords. His actions are unpredictable, and he seems to be hiding something—"
Speaking of that phoenix, the lord of [Winged Fire].
The arrogance on Xia Yuanqi's face immediately vanished, replaced by admiration and respect.
After all, he still had to rush to become someone else's son later, using this imagery to ask [Winged Fire] for the position!
More importantly, if "Great Sage Liaoyu Xietian" does not agree, he is destined to fail in his quest for gold!
Let's begin!
The ancient land of Shu.
Moyun Cliff.
"The 'True Lord of Lesser Yin Mysterious Artemisia' — is complete."
The Yuanpi Envoy, possessing unparalleled beauty but with his face covered in various poisonous sores, stood atop the clouds, surveying the earth.
"The air of war—that's enough."
"Prepare for the Great Priestly Ceremony of the Mystic Witch—Open the White Sky!"
A platinum token appeared in her hand, and she thought to herself: "What are Taihuangtian and the Kitchen God—they're not worth the attention of these two True Lords."
The resurrection of the Golden Virtue True Lord in Baiyao Heaven—was originally intended for the Wood Virtue True Lord, since only metal can overcome wood! The one from Sword Pavilion, though unwilling to act himself, still offered a helping hand.
Even though there have been continuous wars in recent years, it was nothing more than preparation for war—and those lower-level cultivators thought it was a chaotic battle on all sides—in reality, it was just a tacit agreement made by the higher-ups, and even the "Kitchen God" had to submit!
Encircled from the east and west, metal and fire erupted simultaneously to overcome the wood element. Truly, the world was in turmoil—this was the treatment a late-stage Golden Core True Monarch deserved!
"No true ruler in the world wants a new [Yearly Official] to be above them, unless they themselves are that [Yearly Official]!"
Yuan Pi made a hand seal with one hand, chanted incantations, and injected a stream of magical power into the platinum token.
Bai Yaotian trembled and opened a door.
Within the doorway, one could vaguely see an enormous head with talismans on its forehead, biting a strange, illusory figure.
He wore a large fur coat with twelve symbols and a flat crown, resembling an emperor of the underworld who ruled over all gods. He also had various signs of sacrifice and forging.
It is none other than the "Mysterious Sky Forges the World, Suppresses the Underworld, Manifests the Yin
With the token activated, the talisman on the True Lord's forehead disappeared, and a platinum light shone in his eyes. He finally swallowed the [Ghost Gold] elemental energy in one gulp!
All the necessary conditions, such as the presence of gold, the memories of a True Lord, and even a Golden Virtue Cave Heaven, are already in place!
As long as the "Gold Seeking Technique in the Grotto Heaven" is activated, one can instantly become the resurrection of an ancient True Lord!
Just like the Kitchen God of Taihuangtian back then.
