Qi Wuhuo had already entered the door of Yuqing's orthodox method, "Yuanshi Zuqi". Many of his supernatural powers would be directly reduced by Yuanshi Zuqi, or even directly transformed into the purest Yuanqi. However, the two fingers he saw before him did not have any supernatural power at all. It was as if he had just done it lightly, casually, as if it could not be more casual.

The original ancestral Qi is as good as non-existent.

The young Taoist's body swayed, and he was actually knocked out of the mysterious state he was in when he was escaping underground.

Revealing one's true form in the extremely deep earth veins is tantamount to seeking death.

Even if one is an immortal, if he is directly blocked under the endless earth, he will die under the terrifying weight and oppression. Even if he is immortal, he will directly enter a state of being unable to live or die. The great magical powers of those who can transform themselves into others and be reborn after death cannot break this blockade.

However, Qi Wuhuo found that he was not sealed under the earth. He raised his hand and saw a faint golden light around him.

The core orthodox tradition of the Yuqing lineage, the art of Qi transformation, was actually broken.

Clean and crisp.

So the originally plain young man was dressed in a plain Taoist robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, and two strands of white hair on his temples.

It was clearly within the earth's veins, yet it seemed as if it was floating on water, or as if it was lying on clouds, as if it had no weight, with its hands and feet floating.

He raised his eyes again and saw the hand being retracted. There was a sound of the sleeves shaking slightly. A woman appeared in front of him at some point. She had a fair and soft face, black hair like a waterfall, and was dressed in dark gold and black. She looked dignified and elegant, yet graceful. She was just retracting her right hand. There were ancient patterns on her sleeves, which looked like pure gold and unpolished jade, and contained hidden meanings.

The young Taoist was stunned: "Senior is..."

The elegant woman put her hands slightly in front of her, smiling: "You are already here."

The young Taoist looked around and thought about who had such great magical powers. He subconsciously said, "Is it the Queen Mother Hou Tu Huang Di Ji?"

The elegant woman smiled and said, "No."

"The Queen of Earth is of course in the Ruizhu Palace right now. How could the Four Imperial Guards show up so casually?"

"I am Yuan Ying Yuan Jun of the Imperial Capital."

The young Taoist recalled the knowledge about the gods of earth and knew that these were the three departments under the command of Hou Tu Huang Di God, divided into Yuan Ying, Yuan Huang and Yuan Zhi, which were directly under Hou Tu Huang Di God. Although they were at the Yuan Jun level, Qi Wuhuo already knew that realm is realm, means are means. After all, the three departments of Hou Tu were directly under the Yuan Jun of the Four Emperors, and could be seen as a higher level than ordinary Yuan Jun.

As for the Arctic Exorcism House.

Known as the Northern Emperor, his realm can only judge the types of these people's methods. As for the level of killing, no one knows.

The young Taoist bowed slightly and replied, "I am Qi Wuhuo, and I am honored to meet you, Lord Yuan."

The elegant woman smiled and said, "Don't call me Yuanjun, just call me Empress."

"... Then, I greet Madam Yuanjun."

"Just call me Madam."

The young Taoist was puzzled, but still said:

"Hello, Madam."

Is Yuanjun also called Niangniang?

The elegant woman smiled and nodded, her eyes swept over the young Taoist, and asked: "He Lian Mountain God, what were you doing just now?" The young Taoist did not accept the name of He Lian Mountain God, but said: "I am not able to bear the responsibilities of a mountain god, and I am really not qualified to be a mountain god anymore, so I plan to leave."

Yuan Ying Yuan Jun said: "Oh?"

I never thought that after seeing me, this little guy had no intention of staying.

The woman's eyes showed a golden and jade color, and she easily saw through the background of the young Taoist in front of her.

Don't say it's the Supreme's hairpin.

Even the protection bestowed by the Supreme One himself could not escape her discerning eyes here.

Then Qi Wuhuo's experience of following others unfolded before her.

"Oh? Taishang Xuanwei, have you left your name?"

The woman saw the name of Tai Shang in her eyes, and then glanced at it casually, not caring at all. That thing was of no value to her. If she went to see someone else, even Xuan Du would have to come down to the thirty-three heavens in person to greet her, and Tian Peng would need to dress properly and salute. For Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, it was a life-saving grace. Taiyi's current style of doing things was mostly related to her.

When heaven and earth were first separated, Qi flowed between them, and the mysterious origin began.

As the gathering place of the Tao of the earth, it is as ancient as the ancestral Qi, but the Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones, who preached the Tao and were called the Tao Ancestors. The earth chose to carry all things and give birth to all things. It is not the ancestor but the [mother]. That's all. They call each other fellow Taoists. If they come here to drink tea, even the most casual Shangqing will restrain his temper.

She had no interest in the young Taoist's master.

It is only to determine the great catastrophe in Zhongzhou, with the young Taoist as the core, using the altar to gain advantage, yet also commanding thousands of earth gods to act.

This interested her a lot.

And although the earth contains life and death, she also admires the fact that he draws his sword for all living beings.

He looked at the boy's actions for a long time, and then raised his eyes. The young Taoist, who didn't know that all his tricks from Beidi to his teacher's concealment had been discovered, was still thinking about how to tell the woman in front of him his reasons. The dignified and elegant "Empress Yuanjun" smiled and said:

"But, in my opinion, you have actually fulfilled your duties as a mountain god."

"Stop the disaster before it breaks out completely."

"If you hadn't stopped the catastrophe, Helianshan wouldn't have survived."

"Besides, you have made such great contributions, I should have promoted your status as the God of Earth. Why don't I reward you and let you go? Wouldn't this make others laugh at me, the God of Earth, for not knowing how to reward and punish?"

The young Taoist said: "I..."

The gentle woman raised her eyes slightly, with an indescribable majesty and solemnity, just like the earth.

"Don't say too much."

"Let's talk about it now. What reward do you want?"

The young Taoist thought for a moment and said, "I hope to resign from the position of the God of Helian Mountain."

"I know that you don't want me to lose my position as mountain god. In fact, I also like the ability of the earth god to escape underground and communicate with the spirits in the mountains. But what Helian Mountain needs is a mountain god who can accompany them here for a long time, help them regulate the earth veins, and maintain the vitality of the entire mountain."

"I will probably have to travel around in the future. Even if I am not negligent in my duties regarding Zhongzhou, I will definitely be negligent in the future."

"Isn't it also a self-serving behavior to ignore the impending failure of duty for the sake of one's own interests?"

"Besides, they are my friends."

"I didn't do anything in Zhongzhou for the sake of reward. I beg Lord Yuan to be magnanimous and understand the reason behind this."

The young Taoist answered, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The woman looked at him and said, "Call me queen."

The young Taoist opened his mouth and said honestly, "Please be magnanimous, Madam."

"What's your name?"

The young Taoist said, "I beg the Empress Yuanjun of Yuanying to be magnanimous."

The elegant woman smiled and said, "I mean, your name."

The young man didn't know the reason, he just said: "...I have no doubts..."

"No need to be so distant."

"Then, Qi Wuhuo requests..."

"Why so formal?"

So after a while of conversation, the young Taoist priest finally felt a little embarrassed, his face slightly red, and he clasped his hands and said:

"Wuhuo begs the Queen..."

Under the woman's gaze, which seemed to have a hint of a teasing smile, his face flushed and he added:

"Please."

"Well, that's fine."

The woman smiled, with a hint of joking in her eyes, and then she raised her fingers slightly. Her fingers were white and soft, and her fingerprints were clearly visible, as if they were the mountains and rivers of the earth. Without any movement, the mountain god seal in the young Taoist's body was taken away by her. On it was written the words "Helian Mountain God Qi Wuhuo". Then she smiled and said, "Then, as you wish."

"From today on, you are no longer the mountain god of Helian Mountain."

The young Taoist thanked him.

I didn't notice that He Lianshan had a different tone from the two mountain gods behind him.

The woman smiled and raised her hand, saying, "However, you are working for Zhongzhou after all. Although I have a duty and an agreement not to get involved in the affairs of ordinary people, I am the head of the Earth Officials, and what you have done is to rescue the Earth God, and thus destroy the foundation. In this case, I have to help you."

She raised her hand slightly.

A layer of white energy rose and flowed within the young Taoist's body.

"Original Ancestral Qi?"

"Yes, that's the way of Yuanshi Tianzun. The core of Yuanshi Zuqi is just four words."

"One Qi, all things."

"It is one Qi that transforms all things, and it is all things that return to one Qi. Practicing Taoism is to have supernatural powers, and supernatural powers are to cultivate oneself. Only one Qi can dominate the world and solve your current problems, but it is not enough." This elegant "Yuanying Yuanjun" casually spoke out the understanding of the Tianpeng realm, and then shook his head, looking at the young Taoist in front of him, and said:

"The Yuanshi Zuqi begins with Yuanshi Datianzun. It is extremely difficult to enter, and the upper limit is extremely high."

"But that is Yuanshi's path. The Three Pure Ones have their own ways and choices."

"Yuanshi Tianzun's path is firm, and the road ahead is long. Disciples walk their own path of Yuqing, and will eventually return to Zuqi. It is powerful, with a high upper limit, but it also has its upper limit. The Zuqi written by the Great Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun is casual, and the entry is simple. If disciples work hard to practice, they can achieve great cultivation. If the disciples themselves do not have the heart to practice hard, then the lower limit is also very low."

“The Supreme Being does nothing, but only points out the direction. When walking, one can develop his own style, which is the most unpredictable.”

"What is Wuhuo seeking in his cultivation?"

The woman's voice was gentle, as if she was just chatting. The young Taoist thought for a moment and replied, "You are asking me for help when you practice Taoism."

The woman smiled and asked, "Wuhuo Xiudao, your cultivation is to cultivate Yuqing?"

"Wuhuo, you are practicing Taoism. Is your Taoism the practice of Taishang?"

"Wuhuo, you are practicing Taoism. Is your Taoism the practice of Shangqing?"

After three times of questioning, the young Taoist was naturally drawn inward to question himself. The young Taoist was stunned. Even at a young age, the gentle questioning of the woman in front of him directly prompted him to deepen his thinking. She put a question in front of him: What is the practice of Taoism? Is it to cultivate myself, or to cultivate the Three Pure Ones?

The woman asked again:

"You said you wanted to ask me for help. So, Wuhuo, are you Yuqing? Can you ask for help from him by practicing his way?"

"Are you the Supreme?"

"Are you Shangqing?"

"If you are not them, then you can just practice their way with determination, okay? Are you practicing the way, or the Dharma of the Three Pure Ones? Are you asking me for help? Or are you unconsciously letting yourself get closer to the path and choice of the Three Pure Ones? Is practicing the way making you understand yourself more, or is it making you more like the character of the Taoist master?"

The woman smiled, but her eyes were vast and gentle, bearing everything in them, as if asking:

"Is the Dao of Daozu your Dao?"

"The path of pursuing the Three Pure Ones is getting farther and farther away."

"Do you still remember what I am?"

The young Taoist was shocked. He saw the gentle eyes of the woman in front of him, still looking at him quietly. She spoke the most shocking words in the most gentle and peaceful tone, which made the young Taoist's mood rise and change. The woman's temperament was as gentle as jade, but she also seemed to have the voice of gold and jade, majestic and vast. She said:

"In my opinion, the paths taken by the predecessors are all dead ends, because there is always a back figure in front of you."

"You haven't gone high enough yet. You should see more, but you also need to make your own choices. One can polish jade with the help of other people's stones. That's all. What you should learn is the actions of the Taoist ancestors, the determination to seek the Tao, the search for truth, and the self-centeredness. Instead of learning their methods and their magical powers, you should learn from them."

"Seeing their teachings, and going along with them to seek the Tao, you are a disciple of the Tao Ancestor."

"Learn their teachings, worship them as gods in your heart, and you will only be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones."

“I learned from them.”

"Not like them."

The woman's voice was gentle but deafening.

He smiled again and said calmly: "When the innate Qi was one, it was not enough to just look at the original Qi. When the heaven and earth were first separated, the mysterious origin began to be formed. Then there was the distinction between heaven, earth, and Qi. Now that you have Qi, I will give you the opportunity to let you observe the Earth."

"There is no Dharma, no written words. How much you can achieve depends on yourself."

"Back then, Taiyi Jiuku got a strand of it, which allowed him to prove his ten-direction clones."

"Let's see what you have done."

The young Taoist was shocked.

The young Taoist saw that the lady's face was not clear, and she called herself Yuanying Yuanjun, but he was suddenly enlightened and understood the true identity of the person in front of him. Then, when he was curious about how this so-called opportunity would come about, he saw that lady ponder for a moment, and then smiled, no longer with the solemnity and antiquity before, but stretched out two white and slender fingers.

Pointing at the young Taoist's forehead from a distance.

He called out with a smile:

"come over."

Young Taoist: “…”

"Um???"

He bent his fingers and tapped his forehead.

"pain!"
