Chapter 485 Dao Struggle
Inside the nameless cave.
Fang Qing was speechless, somewhat shocked.
[Danger Moon] is the dominant element, [Wall Water] is the subordinate element, [Room Fire] is the favorable element, and [Room Sun] is the deficient element? What kind of path is this? What level of spiritual attainment is required to mediate and suppress it?
"Yes, the method for advancing to the Golden Core stage only requires controlling the other Golden Positions. Controlling another True Lord is called 'Capturing,' hiding the Golden Position is called 'Concealing,' and obtaining the 'Position Certificate' is called 'Borrowing'!"
"And by using the fruit of one's position to conceive offspring, thereby achieving the goal of controlling a golden position, perhaps one can 'nurture' oneself daily?"
Knowing she would face numerous tests and verifications from various True Lords, the 'Primordial Sovereign of the Moon Palace' on the [Dangerous Moon] simply relinquished three of the Moon Palace positions, retaining only the [Dangerous Moon] to create a false impression... and then secretly plotted...?
This time, even that "Great Sage of Blazing Light and Fiery Heaven" has probably been fooled...
"This path of [Yearly Duty] looks even more perilous, actually taking one metal position from each of Yin and Yang, water and fire? It even has a hint of reversing the Taiyin. Each metal position must have been carefully considered and is difficult to change. Therefore, 'The Primordial Sovereign of the Toad Palace' also requires 'Mahakala'!"
That "Mahavairocana Buddha," holding the "Mahakala" [Chamber Fire] Golden Elixir, actually blocked two [Yearly] paths... Truly astounding! Is this astonishing Dao wisdom? Or just a stroke of luck? But what is certain is that the "Toad Palace Condensed Embryo Transformation Primordial Sovereign" and the "Blazing Feathered Heavenly Great Sage" are vying for Dao! This is bad...
Hidden Realm!
At this moment, on the Hidden Plateau.
The blazing sun is burning a piece of dead wood.
This withered tree resembled a hibiscus tree, carrying a melancholic melody. A rolling pink aura gathered and then quickly dissipated, transforming into a radiant display of five colors before vanishing in an instant.
Standing before this branch of hibiscus, King Vairocana's eyes were now a pure gold color.
Behind him, the 'Great Garuda King,' clad in golden feather robes and with a hooked nose, clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, 'World Honored One…'
This Dharma King Vairocana from the Mahavairocana Temple has somehow become the walking form of Mahavairocana Buddha!
He gazed at the charred hibiscus branch, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow: "[Wei Yue] lured me with the phrase 'Great Sun, Dragon, Phoenix, and Remaining Primordial Sovereign,' intending to witness the 'Year' with me."
"The one on Luofeng Mountain is the daughter of the former Taiyin [Yearly Ruler], thus enjoying the power of Taiyin, and also following the path of the Fire Virtue [Yearly Ruler], barely maintaining the balance... What virtue or ability does the Primordial Sovereign, born from the condensation of the Moon Palace, possess?"
The Great Roc King gazed in the direction of the Great Black Heaven Temple.
"The robe naturally possesses this virtue, for 'He' has already returned..."
Vairocana's golden eyes were also fixed on the direction of Mahakala Temple, and his expression remained unchanged.
The Great Garuda King's golden pupils narrowed slightly: "So that's how it is... So that's how it is... Thank you for your enlightenment, Buddha..."
Sleeve... has chosen a rugged path to bypass our surveillance and suppression... I must say, it has now reached its final stage.
The Dharma King Vairocana said indifferently, "And then there's the phoenix... it devoured its own offspring, and this is its just deserts!"
The Great Roc King's eyes flashed, but he said nothing.
If that "Primordial Sovereign of the Toad Palace" truly possesses the resurrection of the Taiyin [Yearly Ruler], then today's situation is also a mother-daughter conflict, with the mother wanting to kill her daughter... This might not be a bad form of retribution!
For the "Primordial Sovereign of the Toad Palace," the offspring of the [House Day] are the key to his ability to take charge of the [House Day] in its absence.
Compared to the 'Great Sun Dragon Phoenix Fuyu Yuanjun', after giving birth, the 'Great Sun Dragon Phoenix Fuyu Yuanjun' is less important than the 'Fang Ri' offspring...that 'Mysterious Immortal'!
Therefore, when the Phoenix was fighting against Mahakala, the "Toad Palace Condensed Embryo Transformation Primordial Sovereign" did not hesitate to order the "Great Sun Dragon and Phoenix Fuyu Primordial Sovereign" to appear and hold off the "Great Sun Tathagata", even if it meant paying a heavy price.
"Buddha...should we press our advantage and completely annihilate 'Great Sun Dragon Phoenix Fuyu Yuanjun'?"
The Great Roc King gazed at that section of the Fusang branch.
This is a part of the metal element transformed from that Yuanjun, which is equivalent to permanently losing this [Fang Ri] supernatural power.
Even if it manages to return to the cave, it will likely be severely injured and fall into a deep sleep, possibly gradually dying out in its slumber.
"No need..." King Vairocana turned and looked in the direction of Mahakala Temple: "The lineage of the temple, the origin of all dharmas, has been severed..."
The location of Daikokuten Temple.
The original ruins have long since disappeared, replaced by a raging purple fire burning across the land!
The fire was pure purple, with wisps of blue light emanating from it, as if it were alive. It completely covered the "Great Black Heaven" statue, freezing its six arms and body, as if it had been transformed into a jade statue.
The blue phoenix landed and opened its beak.
Its beak was extremely small, yet at this moment it seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth. With each opening and closing, it was about to devour this 'Great Black Heaven' completely, and then take control of the [Chamber Fire] order.
Just then, the golden sun set in the sky, and the jade rabbit rose.
A soft laugh came from behind Qingluan.
It originated from the hazy figure of a woman, bathed in the radiance of the moon, which transformed into a silver-white dress. Her full and tall figure could be vaguely seen, but her face was completely indistinct: "The moon is empty and nothingness seeks the virtue of fire... You have done very well."
In an instant, an indescribable aura of danger erupted from the figure shrouded in moonlight.
The radiant light of the crescent moon surged into the sky, accompanied by the brilliance of the sun, and rippling waves spread across the water...
The magical power fluctuations of the late-stage Golden Core filled the heavens and earth. If it weren't for the support of the Secret Treasury Origin in the Secret Treasury Domain, this plateau would probably have been razed to the ground in an instant.
At this moment, heaven and earth seem to have vanished, as do time and emptiness.
In the vast emptiness, only a red moon hangs high.
"You... are definitely not the 'Primordial Sovereign Who Was Born from the Toad Palace'."
……
The ethereal voice of the Azure Phoenix rang out, and the [beak fire] blazed brightly across the sky. It was also the walking body of a late-stage Golden Core True Monarch, so it was not entirely powerless to fight back.
But in the next instant, one bright moon after another appeared.
In the vast emptiness, there was a scene where all four moons shone brightly!
It all seemed so unreal… Upon seeing this, Qingluan’s eyes instantly became glazed, filled with a fear that stemmed from her very blood, and she murmured, “Mother…”
Beyond the nameless grotto.
Fang Qing looked up and seemed to hear the mournful cry of the [Zui Huo] golden position in the vast void...
Stones and fire flew between heaven and earth, and many spiritual flames flickered erratically.
Several enormous comets streaked across the sky like the wind, creating an illusion of a meteor shower...
The spiritual atmosphere in places like the Secret Realm changed drastically. The original "Ping'an Cave" instantly transformed, giving rise to wisps of fire... and the energy of the underworld was mixed in...
"The True Lord has fallen, and heaven and earth grieve together..." Fang Qing murmured, knowing that it was the 'Great Sage Azure Phoenix' who had fallen, and that he had ultimately been a step too late.
The "Primordial Sovereign of the Toad Palace" on [Dangerous Moon] sacrificed the three Yin positions, including [Heart Moon], to make Phoenix misjudge the god's state and take on the task of attacking the secret temple and shaking down the Great Black Heaven Temple.
Then, he struck and killed the mortal body of "Liaoyu Xietian Great Sage," seizing the fruits of his victory.
This paved the way for the completion of the Golden Elixir, and even the prospect of becoming a "Yearly Official" was within reach!
"Liaoyu Xietian Dasheng" undoubtedly lost completely. After losing Qingluan, he could no longer rely on the opponent to control the absence of "Zihuo".
Therefore, his cultivation level has been reduced, and he is now only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm...
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to someone in the late stage of the Golden Core realm!
Even the portion of authority that Taiyin might have left among the demon race through bloodlines may have been taken back...
Fang Qing looked back again.
The "Mysterious and Subtle Primordial Lord" has finally escaped the sea of suffering and will not hinder him from seeking the "Ji Water," so he has gained something.
What he cared about more was that this ancestor, who was suspected to be the source of the Fang family bloodline, was a successor of the Taiyi Xuanmen!
Therefore, he has a master-disciple relationship with that "Kitchen God". Once he recovers a little, he can go to Taihuang Heaven for protection and will not be targeted by "Weiyue" again.
Wait a minute... In that case, the Qingli Fang family, the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Secret Realm... has been promoted from the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan to the Golden Core Immortal Clan?
Fang Qing was speechless.
He took a step forward, returned to the secret realm, and prepared to enter the eight great cold forests of the Buddha land.
Just then, a Dharma King adorned with gold ornaments emerged from the void ahead and respectfully bowed, saying, "Honoring the Lord of the charnel ground, please wait a moment, Lord of the charnel ground."
"Oh?" Fang Qing glanced at the Vairocana Dharma King with interest, sensing a subtle incongruity and aloofness about him. "I am acting on the orders of the Supreme Great Sun Tathagata, and there is some information that needs to be conveyed to the Buddha..."
Although King Vairocana was the lineage holder of the Supreme Source Temple, he did not hesitate at this moment and performed a full prostration, his body still trembling slightly: "The World-Honored One, Vairocana Buddha, said... the Kitchen God is difficult to establish, the Moon is approaching... when the time comes, I would like to ask you to come to the Great Snow Mountain to meet me."
The Kitchen God is unlikely to become a true god... After all, he took the wrong path at the beginning and was subjected to many schemes... However, he is still powerful enough to maintain the deterrent effect of a fully-fledged Golden Core cultivator.
Fang Qing was not surprised, but the approaching Taiyin made his face ashen.
Using water and fire to represent yin and yang... is this really the path of "being in charge of the year"? Or is that person's cultivation level too high, allowing them to forcibly suppress it?
"How much longer?" Fang Qing asked after a moment of silence. "That one killed his daughter to imitate the image of the phoenix raising five chicks and then killing them to reclaim them... This act reclaimed some of the power entrusted to the demon race by the phoenix born by the moon, and also successfully regained the [Room Fire] position. If it weren't for seeking the unprecedented 'Yearly Duty' path, it would probably be restored in an instant... As for now, at most ten years, at least three years, there will definitely be a major change." King Vairocana spoke thoughtfully.
"At least three years, at most ten years?" Fang Qing sighed inwardly.
The situation in the Dao of Qi Conversion has changed drastically, and he truly doesn't have much time left...
