Chapter 659 Four Gates and Five Mirrors, Seven Phoenixes' Internal Strife

“Cang” means a granary with water.

Literally, the sea should be a place rich in resources and prosperous.

But judging from Ning Shuangrong's words, the Canghai is still an extremely dangerous place, with great demons, monsters and evil creatures from beyond the heavens appearing one after another.

"The sea is called the sea, but in reality it is a labyrinth, similar to the chaotic void."

Ning Shuangrong said solemnly, "The Canghai Sea is actually a chaotic celestial sea, without distinction between east, west, south, north, and up and down. Spacetime is disordered and rules do not exist."

Only those with a primordial spirit can enter. Zhen Tian Pass was built for this purpose. It is the most crucial line of defense for the Great Crimson Heaven and even this universe.

All those who attain the Dao of the Primordial Spirit must serve at the Zhentian Pass for over a hundred years, slaying enough extraterrestrial demons or serving long enough before they can be rotated out.

However, the ocean is boundless and infinite, and Zhen Tian Pass can only guarantee to block extraterrestrial demons of the primordial spirit level and above.

Countless extraterrestrial demons under the primordial spirits are constantly attacking Zhentian Pass. They often rush into the ocean, or even out of the ocean, and invade the outer sea.

The purpose of the Outer Sea Immortal Clan is to block and intercept these demonic monsters, ensuring that ordinary cultivators and mortal beings within the Great Crimson Heaven are protected from the harm of extraterrestrial demons…

Ning Shuangrong recounted in detail the secrets that the Taoist Zhenru had told her, or rather, the secrets that Fangcun Mountain had passed down for hundreds of thousands of years without ever being written down.

Bai Cang was somewhat surprised to hear this, "In this universe, is there anyone who can rival the Seven Phoenixes?"

The Great Crimson Heaven is a dojo jointly built by the Seven Phoenixes. If there is no one to stand on equal footing with it and support it, who would dare to invade?

However, according to Ning Shuangrong, Da Chitian was not only attacked and invaded for a long time, but was also in a defensive position.

What does this mean? Does it mean that even if the Seven Phoenixes joined forces, they could still be suppressed and beaten?

This clashed sharply with Bai Cang's long-held beliefs.

In Bai Cang's past understanding, the Seven Phoenixes were the rulers of this universe and the most powerful beings.

While it might not be said that it could suppress everything, it could at least gain an absolute advantage.

But the secret that Ning Shuangrong is telling us now seems to be completely different.

"Qi Huang was never the most powerful person in this universe."

Ning Shuangrong replied matter-of-factly, "Many of the great ancient beings were reincarnations of innate pure yang treasures who were reborn and rebuilt."

The Heavenly Phoenix, the leader of the Seven Phoenixes, is actually the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror. Among the forty-nine innate pure yang treasures, it ranks only ninth.

It ranks last among the Four Gates, Five Mirrors, and the Nine Great Foundations of the Universe…

As Ning Shuangrong revealed all her secrets.

Bai Cang finally gained a more intuitive understanding of the past of this universe, as well as the essence of its creation, evolution, and operation.

The forty-nine innate pure yang treasures correspond to the forty-nine innate root paths.

Apart from these forty-nine innate pure yang treasures, all other pure yang treasures are not innate and can only be acquired pure yang treasures.

What makes them so special is that they are all innate pure yang treasures.

Only then can it become the foundation for the creation, support, and operation of the universe.

Just as only those who are in harmony with the forty-nine innate fundamental principles can achieve this.

Only then will there be the opportunity to prove immortality, and even to achieve supreme creation and open up a new universe.

Among these forty-nine innate pure yang treasures, there are nine foundational treasures, namely the "Four Gates" and the "Five Mirrors".

In the beginning of the universe, four gates were created together, evolving everything and giving birth to all things.

If you want to attain supreme enlightenment, the first condition is to master these four gates.

If these four gates are missing from the universe, the primordial spirit of creation that is attained will not be complete.

The only option is to reopen the universe and re-evolve these four portals.

These four gates are: the Gate of All Wonders, the Gate of the Mysterious Female, the Gate of the Great Void, and the Gate of the Primordial Beginning.

The Gate of All Wonders is the source of the birth of the Three Thousand Great Paths and the origin of all wisdom.

In the newly opened universe, the first innate pure yang treasure to be born must be the Gate of All Wonders.

The Gate of the Mysterious Female is the root of all spiritual awareness and the origin of all consciousness.

In the newly opened universe, the second innate pure yang treasure to be born must be the Gate of Mysterious Female.

The Gate of the Great Void is the origin from nothingness to emptiness, the opening of all emptiness.

In the newly opened universe, the third innate pure yang treasure to be born must also be the Gate of the Great Void.

The Primordial Gate is the root of all matter in the universe and the supreme master of all matter.

In the newly opened universe, the fourth innate pure yang treasure to be born must also be the Primordial Gate.

After the four great portals, there are five great mirrors that foreshadow the birth and death of the universe.

This ensures that the universe remains on its most perfect trajectory, preventing the end of the world and ultimate destruction.

If the five great mirrors are missing, the universe will begin to reverse its course toward destruction.

These five precious mirrors are:

The Mirror of the Great Thousand Worlds is a reference for the evolution of the universe.

The Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure Mirror is the true lineage of the universe's evolution.

The Twenty-Four Heavenly Mirrors are a unique source of the evolution of the universe.

The Nine Heavens Treasure Mirror is a general outline of the evolution of the universe.

The Heavenly Phoenix Mirror is a reflection of the true and false aspects of the universe's evolution.

Of course, the innate pure yang treasures born in the old and new universes are not entirely the same.

However, the four major portals remain constant, even their order is fixed.

The shapes and order of birth of the five great mirrors have remained almost unchanged.

After the four gates and five mirrors, their forms and order vary greatly.

The only certainty is that the Five Primordial Elements, the Five Virtues and Five Elements, the Yin and Yang Five Elements, and the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens Treasures will definitely occupy a place among the forty-nine Primordial Pure Yang Treasures.

As for their forms, order of birth, and ranking, these can vary across different universes.

For example, the Primordial Pure Qi Treasure could be the Heluo Heavenly Book, the Hetu Luoshu, or the Primordial One Qi Divine Talisman.

There are no fixed rules, and the rankings are not fixed.

"At the end of the Suigu Era, a great war that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years broke out among many powerful beings. The four star palaces were destroyed, leaving only the central star river."

Ning Shuangrong concluded, "The Seven Phoenixes only managed to barely seize control of the four major portals by virtue of their unity."

However, other powerful beings are not powerless to resist, and there are still those who can rival them.

Moreover, the Seven Phoenixes are not always united; the drama of splitting up and reuniting has played out countless times.

Especially after the ancient times, the Seven Phoenixes also fought among themselves, which caused them to harbor resentment towards each other, further diminishing their advantage over other powerful beings.

If it weren't for the numerous conflicts among other powerful figures, including many of the Seven Phoenixes' former associates, disciples, and relatives, perhaps some would have already joined forces to vie for control of the four major sects.

Bai Cang was astonished upon hearing this, "The great war in ancient times was actually an internal conflict among the Seven Phoenixes?"
