The great Tiangang magical power is the Nine Breaths of Submission, the eighteenth of the Thirty-Six Tiangang magical powers, and it is Shen Yuan’s greatest gain in this trip to the Taoist Conference.
Compared with the thirty-six Tiangang magical powers that are famous in all realms, even the Jidu Dragon Palace, which commands the Ji River as the master of all aquatic creatures in the world, seems so insignificant in front of this great magical power.
For Shen Yuan, being able to obtain this great Tiangang supernatural power was a complete surprise.
Shen Yuan was not in a hurry to obtain the Tiangang supernatural power. Instead, he released his spiritual thoughts to cover the entire secret realm of the courtyard and observed the situation of the entire secret realm.
This was the first time that Shen Yuan came into contact with the complete Tiangang divine power. Allowing a great and true method that transcended the Xuanhuang Realm to appear in this world was likely to bring about some strange phenomena, so Shen Yuan had to ensure the safety of the environment before receiving it.
In front of the Yellow River Spirit Pool, Long Li was reporting to Bai Xue who had returned home about the supernatural events he had encountered before. He shook his tail anxiously and told Bai Xue that the Ji Du Dragon Seal was missing.
Snow White lay in front of the spirit pond with her eyes blinking, not understanding what her friend meant.
As for Gong Buyu, he was sitting under the jujube tree in the courtyard, concentrating on observing the criss-crossing chessboard on Shen Yuan's stone table, as well as the chess piece that fell on the Tianyuan position.
The entire secret courtyard is still shrouded in the Holy Enlightenment Array. There is not a single flaw in the space, enough to block out the prying eyes of all outsiders.
After confirming the safety of the secret realm in the courtyard, Shen Yuan felt relieved and clicked the "receive" button on the system interface. A wisp of pure and spiritual air appeared in the quiet room.
In an instant, the Xuanhuang Realm shook!
Among the famous mountains and rivers, demon realms and dragon palaces, ancient beings looked up at the sky.
They could clearly sense that outside this blocked world, a large amount of Yuan Qi was derived from the endless void and rushed towards the Xuanhuang Realm like a wave sweeping across the void.
A huge amount of Yuan Qi turned into a tide, in which the rich Yuan Qi constantly collided and merged. In an instant, countless rare and exotic beasts were born, but they only lasted for a moment before being destroyed by the more violent Yuan Qi tide.
Under this huge tide, even immortals were as fragile as ants. More than one immortal creature born from the Yuanqi was completely torn apart.
The Yuan Qi tide that swept across the void even affected several worlds outside the Xuan Huang Realm. Under the vast and boundless spatial scale, a large amount of Yuan Qi forcibly rushed into these worlds.
The rich Yuan Qi forcibly occupied the heaven and earth, and the cultivation system based on spiritual energy quickly collapsed. A system of cultivation rules belonging to Yuan Qi was woven within these small worlds.
However, such a powerful Yuanqi tide hit a wall in front of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Outside the world barrier of Xuanhuang Realm, nine huge ancient bronze tripods guard every corner of Xuanhuang Realm. The vast human destiny turns into a barrier to block all the tides of Yuanqi.
No matter how the tide of Yuanqi washes over them, the nine ancient bronze tripods remain as steady as Mount Tai.
The ancient and powerful men in the famous mountains and rivers, the demon realms and the dragon palaces looked at the vast tide of Yuanqi outside the world barrier and exclaimed in disbelief.
"What is that?"
"Primordial Qi? How can there be such a rich amount of Primordial Qi?"
"The concentration of this Yuan Qi is definitely beyond the limit. Even in the ancient Qi Refining Era of Xuanhuang Realm, there has never been such a rich Yuan Qi."
"If you are surrounded by such a high concentration of Yuan Qi, as long as you comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth sufficiently, you can completely recreate the legend of the ancient sage ascending to the fairyland in one day."
Under such a strange phenomenon that affected the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the ten sacred caves and heavens, the four rivers and four seas dragon palaces, the seven sacred realms of the demon clan, and even the powerful ones of many overseas gods were all affected.
Inside the Langhuan blessed land, the book fairy Gudai sent away the director of the Imperial Observatory, who was in a slightly strange state, as if he were sending away the god of plague, and was about to have some tea and take a rest.
But with the emergence of the Yuanqi tide, Gu Lao's mouthful of spiritual tea directly sprayed onto the desk.
Gu Lao ignored his manners and widened his eyes to explore the sky with the help of Sui Gu Book. The vast tide of Yuan Qi did not trigger any records in Sui Gu Book. He could not help but screamed:
"This is definitely not a force that the Xuanhuang Realm can mobilize. Could it be the work of a certain Heavenly Venerable from the upper realm?"
“The Great Yin Emperor used the destiny of humanity to sever the connection between the Heaven and Earth, and cut off the connection between the Xuanhuang Realm and the upper realm. Even the Four Imperial Emperors dared not rashly touch the seal of severing the connection between the Heaven and Earth. Those who violated the seal would inevitably suffer the backlash of the destiny of humanity.
Who on earth is so powerful that he can summon such a huge tide of Yuan Qi?"
Gu Lao was, after all, a book immortal from the upper realm who had descended to the mortal world. He had experienced many great things. After barely suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he could not help but whispered:
"It's a good thing that the Absolute Heaven and Earth Path can block the tide of Yuan Qi. If such a large amount of Yuan Qi were to enter the Xuanhuang Realm, I'm afraid the cultivation system of the four realms of immortality would collapse in an instant, and all practitioners would have no choice but to follow the path of ancient Qi cultivators again."
The words stopped abruptly here. Gu Lao seemed to remember something and his pupils shrank into needle shapes in an instant.
"Retracing the path of the ancient Qigong practitioners? Could it be that Heavenly Lord from the upper realm?"
Gu Lao immediately stood up, and a large number of bookshelves in the Shuxian Pavilion collapsed.
The space changed, and under the many collapsed bookshelves of the Shuxian Pavilion, a small quiet room appeared in front of Gu Lao.
The quiet room is not big, only the size of an ordinary room. Compared with the entire Langhuan Blessed Land and Shuxian Pavilion, it is so small that it is almost insignificant.
There was only a bookshelf in the quiet room, on which were scattered scrolls, jade tablets, and even an ancient bronze artifact with inscriptions.
The only similarity is that the characters on these books and artifacts are all in dragon and phoenix script.
Gu Lao hurriedly walked into the quiet room, his eyes fell on the bookshelf inside the quiet room, and he began to look through the books recorded on it.
Soon he found what he was looking for, a tattered-looking bamboo slip, the mottled surface of which seemed to bear traces of time.
This is a scroll of bamboo slips that records important events in heaven. Although it looks damaged on the outside, the dragon and phoenix seals on it are enough to make it immortal after enduring countless disasters.
Turning over the bamboo slips, Gu Lao found the text in his memory.
"Congratulations to ****, your disciple, the Golden Immortal of Qingxu Daode, for reaching the realm of Heavenly Venerable. He can be given the name of Heavenly Venerable and be sung by all realms.
Because his Taoist name must avoid taboos, **** personally gave him the Taoist name Qingxu Tianzun, and he is in charge of the way of refining qi and is respected by all qi cultivators in the world! "
"Qingxu Tianzun, respected by all Qigong practitioners in the world!"
Gu Lao looked at the records as if they were treasures.
Although the bamboo slips cannot record the name of Qingxu Tianzun’s teacher, there are only a few great figures in the various realms who can teach Tianzun disciples.
Gu Lao already had some vague guesses in his mind.
"I'm afraid only this Qingxu Tianzun is qualified to call upon this spiritual energy tide."
But the next moment, the dragon and phoenix characters on the bamboo slips suddenly began to fade, and the name of Qingxu Tianzun quickly disappeared in the bamboo slips.
Gu Lao held the bamboo slips with a dazed expression. These bamboo slips did not come from his real body, but from another book fairy who died when Langhuan Pavilion collapsed.
Therefore, even if the dragon and phoenix seals on it changed, it would not affect his memory.
Witnessing with his own eyes the history recorded in the dragon and phoenix seals being erased, the shock in Gu Lao's heart had reached an unprecedented level.
"What could erase the records of a Heavenly Lord?"
"What is behind this primordial qi tide?"
Daxia, Wangwu Mountain.
As a famous mountain and river, there are hundreds of Taoist temples on Wangwu Mountain, which is very popular. Tens of millions of tourists come to Wangwu Mountain to worship every year.
As the spiritual energy tide returned, a large number of inheritances returned to these Taoist temples, and there were many practitioners who inherited the ancient inheritance. However, none of these Taoist temples and Taoist palaces founded a sect to unify these huge numbers of Taoist temples and Taoist palaces. Instead, they continued to maintain the status quo of separate governance among the various Taoist temples and palaces, and there were few conflicts between them.
Because all the Taoist palaces and temples on Mount Wangwu are inherited from the first of the ten major caves, Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven, which is known as the first cave in the Xuanhuang Realm.
In the small and clear sky, as the tide of Yuanqi descended on the outside of the Xuanhuang Realm, several ancient immortals in the cave awakened from their slumber.
The long time has eroded their bodies, and the incomplete rules of heaven and earth have continuously weakened their understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth, but it still cannot prevent them from standing at the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The arrival of the spiritual energy tide did not wake them up, the killing of the Qingzhou True Dragon did not attract their attention, and even the projection of the Supreme Emperor to suppress the Jidu Dragon Palace did not attract their attention.
All they want is to squeeze every second to seek a chance of immortality.
But even such an ancient immortal who was indifferent to worldly affairs opened his eyes under the influence of the Yuanqi tide, and several divine thoughts continued to communicate in the small clear and empty sky.
"This is the Great Dao of Refining Qi! The Great Dao of Refining Qi!"
"Could it be that Tianzun has recovered?"
"My way should flourish! My way should flourish!"
These ancient immortals were not all born in the Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven, but their own Taoist traditions are more or less connected with the Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven.
Ten thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy was exhausted for the first time, he retreated into a small and clear sky to avoid disaster.
For thousands of years, these ancient immortals have also become a part of Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven, which is why Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven can sit firmly at the top of all the cave heavens.
Several ancient immortals were very excited, but one immortal noticed something strange and couldn't help but say:
"This primordial qi tide did not awaken fellow Taoists Zhenyu and Zhenxuan. I'm afraid they have already passed away."
After these words were spoken, several ancient immortals were silent for a while, and then continued:
"This period of spiritual energy depletion is really too terrifying. Back then, there were more than 20 fellow Taoists in Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven, but now only you are left."
"If this is the case even in the small Qingxu Heaven, I'm afraid there will be even more Taoist friends who have perished in other cave heavens."
“But fortunately, we have the Heavenly Lord, who took pity on me and sent me down from the upper realm to the mortal world.
Now this Yuanqi tide must be a sign of Tianzun's recovery. As long as we wait for Tianzun to recover, everything will be fine!"
Thinking of this, the ancient immortals from all over the Xiaoyouqingxu Heaven looked towards the center of the cave.
The Qingxu Palace, which occupies an area of one hundred miles in radius, is shrouded in clear fairy light. Fairy cranes are crying and real dragons are flying. Many strange phenomena are appearing above the Qingxu Palace.
"Greetings to the Heavenly Venerable Qingxu!"
The immortals recited silently in their hearts.
But the immortals did not know that inside the palace surrounded by immortal light, there was another completely different scene.
Inside the main hall of the Immortal Palace, skeletons shining with precious light were scattered in every corner of the palace. The tattered immortal clothes they wore, the powerful Taoist weapons in their hands, and the spiritual essence on the skeletons that had not been erased by time proved that they had extraordinary strength when they were alive.
In the very center, in a huge blood pool created by flesh and blood creatures, incomplete souls are drowning in it. The rich spiritual energy is intertwined with the souls, with incomplete Tao and principles, filling the gap in the great Dao of heaven and earth in the cave.
In the center of the blood pool, an old man wearing a white Taoist robe and with a kind face was sitting on a lotus platform.
If you ignore the surrounding environment, the old man's immortal demeanor makes him look like an immortal walking out of a painting.
It was this old man who was holding a Ruyi with the words "Qingxu" engraved on it at the moment, his eyes wide open with disbelief in his eyes.
"impossible!"
The old man kept mumbling to himself, unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
"I am only one step away from comprehending the great divine power of Tiangang. Why did the great divine power realization recorded in Ruyi disappear?"
“Even the contents of my memory regarding the Tiangang Great Divine Power disappeared.
I can’t even tell which great magical power I have comprehended.”
The old man had a strange expression on his face, as if he was neither crying nor laughing.
"If the great divine power of Tiangang disappears, then what's the point of me taking the risk to steal the treasure of Qingxu Tianzun, and even cutting off my own foundation for this and hiding in Xuanhuang Realm?"
Eight thousand years ago, several great figures from the upper realm died mysteriously, including Qingxu Tianzun, who was respected by all the cultivators in all realms.
Bai Yun, as the boy of Qingxu Tianzun, secretly planned to steal the relic that inherited the great supernatural power of Tiangang after learning about this, and with the help of Qingxu Ruyi, he escaped into the Xuanhuang Realm.
With the help of his understanding of Qingxu Tianzun, Bai Yun disguised himself as the seriously injured Qingxu Tianzun and descended to the Qingxu Heaven. Relying on his cultivation that surpassed the Xuanhuang Realm and his magical powers, he successfully intimidated all the immortals and established the name of Qingxu Tianzun.
For eight thousand years, he has been constantly comprehending the great magical powers in Qingxu Ruyi, hoping that one day he will be able to comprehend the magical powers and control the origin.
By then, neither the rules of the world of Xuanhuang Realm nor the self-destructive foundation of Taoism will be a problem anymore.
With all the resources of Xiaoyouqingxu Heaven supplied to him, he would not lack spiritual energy even during the period of spiritual energy depletion. However, the incomplete rules of heaven and earth would affect his comprehension of great supernatural powers.
Bai Yun made a move secretly, using his cultivation to suppress the others and silently killed more than ten immortals and many True Lords and Dao Lords. He extracted their spirits and used their flesh and blood as the basis to forge a blood pool of living beings to interpret the great way of heaven and earth, thus accelerating his comprehension of great supernatural powers.
After eight thousand years of hard training, he was only one step away from achieving great supernatural powers, but before he could take that step, he was beaten to it by someone else.
The strange expression on Bai Yun's face suddenly turned into a ferocious one, and he roared angrily:
“The Tiangang Great Divine Power is unique in the world. The information about the Great Divine Power is missing from my memory, and the perception of the Great Divine Power in Qingxu Ruyi has disappeared. It must be that someone has mastered this Tiangang Great Divine Power in advance.
A thief has stolen the great divine power of Tiangang that should have belonged to me, and has stolen my position as the Qingxu Tianzun!"
His eyes suddenly raised up to the sky. The Yuanqi tide outside the Xuanhuang Realm gave him a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
“Although I have lost my memory of the Heavenly Power, this kind of primordial energy tide is definitely not an ordinary thing. In addition, the timing of its appearance is so coincidental that it is very likely to be the vision brought about by the Heavenly Power.
The appearance of this Yuanqi tide here means that the thief is in this Xuanhuang Realm!"
Bai Yun reached into the blood pool of living creatures, grabbed the soul of an immortal that was trapped in chaos, threw it into his mouth and began to chew it.
At this moment, there was no trace of immortality on his face, only bloodiness and hideousness filled with resentment.
"When the rules of heaven and earth are complete, I will come to the Xuanhuang Realm in person."
“Even if I have to slaughter an entire world, I will find you and take back the great divine power of Tiangang!”
In the secret courtyard, in the training room.
Shen Yuan, immersed in the comprehension of the Nine Breaths and Subduing Qi supernatural power, was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Under the illumination of the spiritual light of the Saint Enlightenment Array, the ray of clear and spiritual energy in the quiet room that seemed to symbolize the mysteriousness of the Great Dao followed Shen Yuan's breathing and merged into his body.
At this point, Tiangang returns to his position!
