Chapter 2: Hong Yun, you have no shame! Report to the teacher!
No, Brother Hongyun, you have held me back this time to listen to the Dao of these nine hundred years, and I am immensely grateful to you
By the way, which spiritual treasure shall we use for the corpse-slaying of Hongyun
It is not easy to possess a congenital spiritual treasure that resonates with oneself; even if it is divided into three parts, so what? At worst, it may have weaknesses, but that is still better than never being able to see the path ahead again
Hong Yun directly took out the two spiritual treasures he had collected, especially the Central Wujiyi Apricot Yellow Banner, which was nearly on par with the top-grade innate spiritual treasures, moving Zhen Yuanzi deeply.
After the crowd had finished their worship, they all raised their heads to look at each other, and the joy in their eyes had mostly vanished, replaced by a sense of regret
Especially after the two, Zunti and Jieyin, exchanged a bitter glance, their lips were filled with bitterness
After speaking, he directly took Zhenyuanzi and flew towards the Primordial Chaos
After Pangu opened the heavens and split the earth, I attained the Dao through the creation of the Jade Disc. Under the heavenly Dao, I hold the power of teaching and transformation; therefore, I have expounded the Dao three times, totaling nine thousand years, and now my merits are complete
The grace of a shengmi is repaid with the resentment of a doumi! Zhun Ti has directly bound thousands of powerful beings who have not fully listened to the teachings.
Indeed, Hongjun has completed his teachings, culminating in the final unity of the Dao
In the face of Zhenyuanzi's doubts, Hongyun's expression gradually became serious
Receive
Red Cloud, how could the Daoist Ancestor be like you!
At this moment, Zhun Ti turned his head, his gaze carrying a hint of resentment, "Why did Fellow Daoist Hong Yun not remind us all?"
Ha ha.
Only seeing the red cloud laughing heartily, Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly turned his head and began to bow repeatedly towards the Purple Cloud Palace
As Hong Yun continuously expressed what he had learned and understood, Zhen Yuanzi listened with rapt attention, and eventually, he too began to share his own insights.
What is it that you, Zhen Yuanzi, have comprehended
The object of dismemberment is either an innate spiritual treasure or an innate item; in any case, it must be suitable for one's own innate nature.
Nine hundred years have quietly passed, and the three thousand worldly guests of Zixiao, immersed in the sea of the Great Dao, opened their eyes one by one, as if still lingering in the moment when the sound of the Dao came to a halt
When it comes to the last nine hundred years, Hongyun smiled even more. In these final nine hundred years, Hongjun spoke almost entirely about a hodgepodge of various divine abilities and techniques derived from the interpretation of the world.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Emperor Jun have been together for over 700 years. As for the other powerful beings, each one is struggling in their own way. Even more unfortunate is a certain guest from the mortal realm, whose face is marked by suffering. He is a newcomer, having just entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his body is still covered in scars left by the violent chaotic energy. He only heard the last words: 'Harmonize the Dao'
Upon hearing this, Hong Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You are being too formal; there is no need for reservation between us"
Respectfully sending off the teacher! Everyone, filled with reverence, bowed in the direction where the Purple Cloud Palace had vanished
Mount Buzhou! The territory of the Witch Clan, yet Nuwa was able to establish a Daoist temple on Mount Buzhou without any issues. This indicates that there is something amiss.
The beheading of corpses must involve innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual objects, but there are numerous types of spiritual treasures, and they even interact with the five elements in terms of generation and restraint, especially in the final step! The three corpses merge into one!
Friend Hongyun bids farewell
As countless familiar faces departed once again, Nuwa, with her exquisite visage, gazed doubtfully at the red clouds, ultimately smiling and shaking her head.
In the end, Zhen Yuanzi could only express a sincere thank you, yet Hong Yun sighed while scratching his head, saying: "This first red cloud after the creation of the heavens is truly unfortunate; where can I find a spiritual treasure of the same attribute"
Faced with Hongyun's confusion, Zhenyuanzi directly shook his head and let out a bitter smile, "It is not about listening to you, Hongyun. We each have our own responsibilities in our studies. You focus on comprehending body refinement and close combat techniques, while I delve into the understanding of the primordial spirit, formations, and alchemy."
With a wave of the sword, the yellow flag of the Central Wu and the Earth Spirit Pearl directly floated into the embrace of Zhen Yuanzi. Hong Yun grinned and said: "Zhen Yuanzi, I’m afraid this time I will have to trouble you."
It is rare to see the honest man Zhen Yuanzi smiling so broadly, as he boldly declared: "Today, let us celebrate together by sharing the ginseng fruit, and at the same time, congratulations to you, Dao brother, on the imminent attainment of the Dao."
In the last nine hundred years of preaching, only the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi listened to the entire discourse, while even Zhunti, Jieyin, and Houtu merely listened for eight hundred years
Daoist Patriarch Hongjun has clearly stated that the teachings have concluded. Seeing that no benefits could be gained, countless powerful beings shook their heads, sighed in frustration, and once again soared towards the vast wilderness.
Haha
He wanted to open his mouth to refuse this kindness, but the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, along with the Earth Spirit Pearl and his Earth Book, all had connections with the essence of the innate Wu Earth.
Purple Cloud Palace
Hundreds of years later, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun finally flew back to Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple
Before hearing the teachings, they could only continue to accumulate as usual, waiting for the moment they could see the path to break through. However, the situation is different now
From today onwards, I shall align myself with the Heavenly Dao, supplementing the number of the Heavenly Dao. From this point forward, Hongjun represents the Heavenly Dao, yet the Heavenly Dao does not represent Hongjun! The Heavenly Dao is in harmony! At that moment, a voice devoid of emotion echoed from the Purple Cloud Palace, followed by a surge of celestial might.
And Hongyun couldn't help but chuckle while clapping his hands, "That Zhun Ti and Jie Yin have listened for a hundred years, especially when I saw Daozu speaking about the mysteries of the Nine Transformations of Profound Skills, the attentive look on Zhun Ti's face, haha—I'm afraid that in the future, the West will not have the Nine Transformations of Profound Skills, only the Eight or Nine Transformations of Profound Skills"
Swish
He has already thought of the most suitable innate object for him to sever corpses.
Hong Yun obtained a total of thirty-six innate spiritual treasures, while Zhen Yuanzi, although he only received twelve innate spiritual treasures, was still enough to make him smile broadly.
The title of "Dao Brother" bestowed upon Zhen Yuanzi is almost akin to an early congratulation, as it signifies the imminent attainment of the Dao by Hongyun.
At this point, Hong Yun let out a cold laugh, saying, "I fear that many of the three thousand guests of Zixiao have thought of this point, but how difficult it is to obtain three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin or innate objects that share the same origin as oneself.
Before Zhun Ti could finish speaking, Hong Yun turned around with a cold laugh and respectfully bowed to the Purple Cloud Palace, shouting: "Dao Ancestor, Zhun Ti resents you for not reminding him to listen to the teachings"
With a hearty laugh, Hong Yun nodded even more vigorously, "Indeed, let us further share our insights with each other, hehe."
Red Cloud, the path of the Nine Transformations Profound Skill you have taken is extraordinary
All of this has been thoroughly explained; it turns out that everything is derived from the teachings of the Purple Cloud Palace, where there are three thousand main paths and eight hundred secondary paths
Thank you
Within Wuzhuang Temple, Hong Yun's excited face was flushed with joy as he laughed heartily. Beside him, the usually composed Zhen Yuanzi was also rarely seen smiling broadly with excitement.
The matter of the Corpse-Slicing Town has filled Yuanzi with grave contemplation, as this is not to be taken lightly. In the teachings of Daoist Patriarch Hongjun, the first two thousand one hundred years pertain to the path of corpse-slicing.
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Hong Yun, when we were at Fenbao Cliff, I noticed that the one who collected the most spiritual treasures was undoubtedly the Three Pure Ones, especially Tongtian, who collected no less than eighty items. Together, the Three Pure Ones must have gathered at least over a hundred. Why don't we inquire and see if we can exchange for some?"
As the two engaged in discourse, within the Wuzhuang Temple, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and an exotic fragrance wafted through the air. Both were deeply engrossed in their understanding of the Dao.
Under the sincere and earnest smile of Zhenyuanzai, Hongyun felt a wave of emotion. In this world of primordial chaos, how many people can truly be trusted beneath the veil of self-interest
Swish
For example, if the Western teachings have been deprived of the principles for a hundred years, they can only comprehend eight or nine profound skills. In the early stages, this may seem inconsequential, but in the later stages, it will lead to a lack of successors.
Most people, in the absence of a common source treasure, will choose similar innate objects
What the Three Purities have comprehended is the genuine Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Arts
The supreme primordial spirit that I have comprehended ... ... formation ... ... alchemy ... ...
A full thousand years later, the two finally exchanged a deep gaze, both revealing expressions of shock; the teachings passed down by the Dao Ancestor are indeed exquisite and unparalleled
It turns out that various divine abilities and even techniques were all disseminated from the Purple Cloud Palace
However, Hongyun let out a light laugh, for the smile of Nuwa just now contained a hint of cunning.
This is still a stroke of good fortune; those with bad luck can only either reluctantly choose to use a congenital spiritual treasure to slay corpses or abandon the path of corpse-slaying altogether and ponder on their own.
The act of severing the three corpses almost pointed the way for them
At this moment, thousands of powerful beings in the mortal realm also retracted their necks, and a sense of caution had already risen in their gazes as they looked at the red clouds
When it came to the issue of dismembering corpses, Zhen Yuanzi revealed a look of reluctance. The innate spiritual treasures, after all, he possessed only a few. If it were not for the great fortune he had at the Treasure Division Cliff, after this dismemberment, he would be left all alone.
In the next moment, Zhun Ti's face turned green, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Hong Yun's mouth, while continuously bowing and flattering towards the Purple Cloud Palace, saying: "Master, please don't take offense, I did not mean it, I did not mean it."
What a good-natured person Hong Yun! Nonsense, this rascal is very bad, always reporting the teacher at the slightest provocation, and he does so with a sense of righteousness
Red Cloud, fellow Daoist
As Hongyun faced the gazes of the crowd, he let out a chuckle, patted Zhunti's shoulder, and pointed at the tightly closed Zixiao Palace, saying, "Why don't you go ask the Dao Ancestor?"
There are also the so-called Thirty-Six Transformations of the Celestial Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends. Yang Jian is of the Chan teaching, while the Monkey King is clearly a fighter cultivated by Buddhism. These two schools of Buddhism and Taoism both possess the same Seventy-Two Transformations
The gains from this occasion are immense; aside from the primordial purple energy, the treasures obtained by the two at the Treasure Cliff are simply astonishing
Nüwa has disappeared, and Zhenyuanzi, with a serious expression, quietly murmured to Hongyun: "Hongyun, you must not be deceived. Fuxi has gone to the Heavenly Court, yet Nüwa is still able to establish a dojo on Mount Buzhou. Do not underestimate Nüwa."
Among them, there are quite a few methods and supernatural powers. If you listen thoroughly and comprehend sufficiently, each will become a supreme supernatural power or technique. However, if you do not listen completely, you can only return and deduce the missing parts on your own
The Nine Transformations of the Dao Ancestor, with the primordial spirit as the assistant and the body as the main focus, along with various close-combat divine abilities
The three thousand guests of the Purple Clouds trembled in unison, as the aura of the Daoist Ancestor Hongjun grew increasingly ethereal, and the last remnants of emotion in his eyes gradually faded away
As Zhen Yuanzi continuously requested an apology, Hong Yun, who was collecting the treasure from the Fenbao Cliff, grinned and directly bowed to the Zixiao Palace.
Only after hearing the explanation did Hongyun suddenly realize why during the Journey to the West period, both Yang Jian and Sun Wukong possessed the ability to transform seventy-two times, and their techniques were almost identical.
Please forgive me, Daoist Ancestor. Do not blame Hongyun for his recklessness, do not blame him.
No one is a fool; the three thousand Zi Xiao guests are all powerful beings who have cultivated for an unknown length of time. It is rare that they do not understand the importance of the unity of the three corpses. As long as one remains devoted to the Dao, they will certainly take such actions
Thank you, Daoist Ancestor
Finding a congenital spiritual treasure of the same origin by good fortune, I fear it will also be divided into three parts, using the same treasure to sever the corpse
This time there is no excitement as in the last time, but rather a sense of frustration and regret
From this moment on, the great trend of the Heavenly Dao is irreversible. Unless there is a cataclysm of heaven and earth, and unless Hongjun does not appear, you all should take care of yourselves!" After saying this, the eyes of Daozu Hongjun showed no more ripples, and in an instant, they all appeared in the square of the Purple Cloud Palace
Hongyun collected a total of thirty-six innate spiritual treasures of various sizes on the Treasure Cliff, among which the most renowned in later generations include: the Sea-Calming Pearl (24 pieces), the Primordial Golden Dipper, the Central Wuji Yellow Flag, the Southern Li Earth Flame Flag, the Pure and Tranquil Glazed Bottle, the Golden Rope, the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, the Jade Void Glazed Lantern, the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, the Treasure Lotus Lantern, and others, all of which are classified as innate spiritual treasures.
Zhen Yuanzi, you are the essence of the original innate Wu Earth. This central Wu-Ji apricot yellow banner, the Earth Spirit Pearl, and the Earth Book in your hand.
Red Cloud, there will be an opportunity to visit Mount Buzhou in the future
"Hongyun, what are you doing!" At that moment, Zhenyuanzai suddenly stared wide-eyed, watching as Hongyun crazily collected the treasures from Fenbaoya.
Before this, they almost all relied on their profound magical power accumulation and the effort of grinding an iron pestle into a needle to advance to the quasi-saint realm. For instance, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan broke through to the quasi-saint level precisely through the refinement of their physical bodies.
Brother Hongyun
Haha
Zhen Yuanzi also smiled, as both sides had clear divisions of labor; sometimes, one plus one can indeed be greater than two
