Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 551 Seeking Help

"【Horned Wood】represents the upright nature of wood, gathering trees to form a forest, upright and unyielding, possessing the qualities of a habitat for birds and beasts, a gathering place for insects, and a place to widely cultivate wings..."

Fang Daoling stood silently in the void, gazing at the scene of Tianjiao Gate, not daring to take another step forward.

Not to mention the silent guardian Jiaomu Flood Dragon, even the great swordsman Su Yuan would be more than enough to give him a hard time.

Moreover, since the "Master Suqing" who was seeking gold had some connections with his ancestors, he would not do something as thankless as trying to stop the gold seeker.

If even a Great Master of the [Ji Shui] realm could be like this, then those cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Purple Mansion realm within the Great Void could only feel apprehensive.

Several high-ranking esoteric Buddhist masters exchanged glances and sighed.

Several major battles at the end of the ancient era ultimately damaged much of the esoteric Buddhist treasures. In addition, the origins of the esoteric Buddhist treasures were lost, and many lineages began to gradually dry up...

Especially the three temples that are the source of all dharmas!

Do not!

Since the fall of Daikokuten, only two remain.

With the abbot of the "Zhusheng Wuxiang Temple" gone missing, only a few Taras remain to manage the situation, and they still have to rely on the Hayagriva Temple for mutual support and solidarity.

As for 'Daizang Temple'? It has been declared completely missing...

If a Buddha of the Kui Mu lineage wishes to remain hidden, what can the Dharma King and Tara below do unless the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha willingly appears?

Therefore, this vast secret realm is now somewhat fragmented.

Fortunately, the Daiichi Rinten Temple still exists, so it can still suppress the chaos; otherwise, the world would surely be in turmoil!

"It seems... Bodhisattva Akasagarbha is not prepared to make a move?"

In the vast void, a wondrous golden core-level being appeared—it was none other than 'Hidden Forest Bank'!

Fang Qing stood with his hands behind his back, right next to Fang Daoling. With the help of his bloodline, not to mention the horned dragon that Guangmu was the incarnation of the 'Eastern Tai Sui Qingdi True Lord', even if the 'Great Sun Tathagata' himself were to come, he might not be able to detect his concealment.

He murmured to himself, then came to his senses: "That's right... that 'Kui Zang Xian Qing Zhen Jun' has already fallen, and what has been resurrected is 'Xu Kong Zang Bodhisattva,' who is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, just like Guang Mu... Even in the previous Secret Realm War, they could only send out the Dao-transformed monsters, and they were also affected... Perhaps they are still seriously injured and asleep, so it is indeed difficult for them to take action."

If that Bodhisattva Akasagarbha really comes, he might end up having his karma settled by the "Eastern Tai Sui Qingdi True Lord".

After all, it's the new calendar now!

The world order has changed dramatically since ancient times!

"Many cultivators from the Purple Mansion of the Eastern Taiyi Profound Sect have arrived... but there are very few from the 'Nine Heavens Fire Mansion,' and that True Monarch's condition is also poor?"

Fang Qing swept his divine sense across the void, and although the Purple Mansion True Person in the void did not notice anything, his own situation was already clearly visible.

"Yes, this is my fault... After [Winged Fire] was destroyed, it naturally affected the other Fire and Metal positions, since [Winged Fire] occupied the proper position of Fire."

The sudden loss of this golden position will undoubtedly have an impact on every aspect of this world.

For example...months!

"Powerful lineages all have corresponding lunar imagery; this, too, is a form of profound heritage..."

"For example, cultivators of the [Kangjin] path receive bonuses in May for cultivation, breakthroughs, and combat... while [Yixinghuo] cultivators prefer June... But now, June is absent, so various rituals, even symbols, pill formulas, weapon refining, and fire control... must be changed, or even replaced by [Yixinghuo] in order of priority?"

"In comparison, although I took away the vacancy of [Ji Shui], [Ji Shui] is not a powerful lineage, has no connection with the months, and did not take away the main position, so the impact of [Ji Shui] on this world is much smaller... If it is suddenly returned in the future, it will be of great benefit."

For Fang Qing, Su Qing's pursuit of gold was also a kind of "variable" that he was looking forward to.

After all, the three strongest forces—Mahavairocana, Mahavairocana (the Year God), and the Kitchen God—are all currently dormant, so he needs to introduce new changes and test the reactions of all parties.

And while we're at it... fishing!

"The Heavenly Horn Gate is located in the sea, and it has always had a struggle for interests with the Flood Dragon Palace... Last time, when True Lord Guangmu asked for gold, the Flood Dragon Palace immediately sent an envoy to kill one of his Purple Mansion subordinates, causing the Canghai Sect to continuously weaken..."

"Will the 'Heavenly Abyss Dragon Lord' intervene at the crucial moment?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

According to the previous theory, Golden Core True Monarchs should avoid taking action as much as possible.

Because once you make a move, it's easy for others to see through your hand and become a target for your attacks!

The "Heavenly Abyss Dragon Lord" had already made a move in front of Fang Qing, and the water-based sword intent he used was still fresh in his memory.

"If I join forces with Guangmu, even if that Dragon Lord is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, we might not be unable to fight him... or even inflict a great loss on him? I have been coveting the [Shenshui] ranking for a long time... but I still need to keep it hidden for a while."

"After all, True Lord Xuanming Runji has already gone far beyond the heavens. In the knowledge of Golden Core True Lords, there has never been a True Lord who went to the depths of the heavens to return..."

"The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows, which is a huge advantage... Although those few probably have some suspicions, and therefore have been hiding, preparing to lure me in?"

Fang Qing smiled slightly.

The false identity he prepared for himself was that of the "True Lord of All Rivers Returning to the Sea" in the history of the Canghai Sect.

Of course, this is also an alternative, since he is not familiar with this Zhenshui Zhenjun and has no connection with him.

It's impossible for someone with less experience to spot a flaw, but it's hard to say what might happen when they're with someone of the same path.

"However, I am not without advantages... At least, the absence of my [Ji Water] is growing stronger, already showing signs of the four waters, carrying the imagery of [Zhen Water]..."

This naturally has the advantage of having a world that can be plundered at will.

There are no other three waters in the Great Zhou Heaven and Earth, so the [Ji Water] is the master of the converging waters, encompassing everything and containing the imagery of the [Zhen Water], [Shen Water], and [Bi Water]!

"But this layer is just skin... underneath, you can wear another mask."

A phantom silver mirror appeared in Fang Qing's hand; it was the [Taiyin Treasure Mirror]: "For example... the Taiyin [Yearly Ruler] who has revived?"

With the Taiyin Immortal Artifact in hand, he could easily invoke the power of [Zhang Yue], [Xin Yue], and [Bi Yue]. Since Taiyin is close to water, he could utilize the virtue of water. With Taiyin's [Yearly] revival, he could use some of the [Zhen Shui] authority to disguise himself as the "True Lord of All Rivers Returning to the Sea," which would be quite reasonable.

And this [Yearly] resurrected, went to eliminate the resurrection plan of the Golden Fire [Yearly], and even spied on the 'Toad Palace Condensed Embryo Transformation Primordial Sovereign' on the [Dangerous Moon]... all of these are actions consistent with his character.

"With Taiyin paired with [Ji Water], I'm at least a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator... and not much weaker than that Dragon Lord..."

Although it is also sold in bulk, the fact that Taiyin is close to all waters is no joke.

At least they won't suffer from qi deviation or self-destruction in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

At this moment, within the Heavenly Horn Gate, the great ailanthus tree grew even more shady, and countless emerald green light spots, carrying a rich sense of longevity, flew into Su Qing's body before returning to silence.

These are the two orthodox supernatural powers of [Jiaomu] – 'Lingchun Ferry' and 'Qizhi Ji'!

"With the lifespan increased by 'Lingchun Crossing' and the supernatural power to lock in youth, it's enough to maintain peak health until seven or eight hundred years old. True Person Suqing is only around one hundred years old now, so she seems a bit impatient... Is it because the opportunity is rare? Seeking gold now will minimize interference..."

Fang Qing understood perfectly, after all, the Golden Core was 'the will of Heaven'!

If Heaven does not grant our request, what can we do?

"Furthermore... those who are reincarnated after consuming the elixir of metal are not entirely dependent on the metal element, but rather, like Guangmu back then, comprehend the metal element, and ultimately abandon it... to refine their own metal!"

He slowly raised his head and saw azure stars twinkling in the eastern sky, like the horns of a blue dragon...

……

Tianjiaomen.

On the big ailanthus tree.

Suqing Zhenren pursed her lips and gently blew out a breath.

The aura was a uniform blue-green, yet it also seemed to have transformed into a ball of fire, burning away the four supernatural powers...

"Broken Sharp Edge", "Vast Forest", "Sailing Crossing of the Spirit Tree", "Lonely Perched Branch"!

Four beams of azure light converged, then were scorched by azure flames, revealing a hint of azure gold in the center.

The moment this golden light appeared, countless extraordinary phenomena immediately emerged!

It includes scenes of spring returning to the earth, as well as forests of trees, upright and unyielding trees, gathering birds and beasts, and dragons soaring into the sky...

It is precisely the metal element of [Horn Wood]!

The moment this golden essence appeared, all the Purple Mansion True Persons in the surrounding Void showed longing in their eyes, and some even slightly moved their supernatural powers.

But looking at the heavily armed Grand Sword Immortal Su Yuan and the Purple Mansion of the Heavenly Horn Sect, he finally held back.

For the Purple Mansion True Man, obtaining any piece of gold essence is a kind of sublimation, an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step!

But compared to death, they quickly regained their senses and silently reflected on their experiences.

"Is this the ancient [Hornwood]?"

Fang Daoling murmured, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and almost burst into tears.

He dared not look any longer and quickly lowered his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw a dragon formed from countless intertwined vines coiling above the large Chinese toon tree. Every emerald scale and every patch of moss on its body seemed to be an interpretation of the [Hornwood]. Emerald light flowed between the vines, spreading outwards in endless ripples, carrying an indescribable sense of grandeur and vastness...

"It's the True Lord!"

Many Purple Mansion cultivators screamed, their eyes widening in shock, while Grand True Persons like Fang Daoling, who were more alert, lowered their heads and bowed silently.

"Riding a true dragon to fly through the heavens... this person's aura is truly astonishing!"

hoohoo!

Amidst the roar of the Horned Dragon, True Person Suqing merged with the [Horned Dragon] metal essence that she had refined herself, and her entire body radiated emerald green light, resembling a beautiful statue carved from jade. Riding a dragon, she soared into the heavens, seemingly about to merge with a star in the eastern sky!

This reminded many Purple Mansion True Persons of the scene recorded in their past or in their sect's records: the ascension of the "Eastern Pole Grand Duke Qingdi True Lord" riding a dragon. They couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Indeed, it's a method of seeking gold passed down from generation to generation..."

Just as Su Qing Zhenren was about to leap, a dragon roar full of malice suddenly appeared from the east!

A white line flashed by, like a wave, from which a thousand-foot-long dragon emerged!

Its scales shimmered, each radiating a different halo, and it bared its fangs and claws as it charged toward Su Qing Zhenren!
