Chapter 134 Yaoguang Star Movement
The eerie ghost town is filled with fog and flickering ghost lights.
The moonlight in the sky gradually dims, and another dark night is about to come.
The fog enveloped the uneven buildings in the east of the city, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were scattered in the surging fog.
In a simple courtyard, Li Yuan had his eyes closed, with negative energy surging around him. Chen Ming on the dead tree was protecting him.
Chen Ming blinked from time to time, looking at Li Yuan in the center of the spirit formation. This was their ninth year in Beilin City.
The light on the spiritual formation was no longer as bright as before. It was obvious that many parts of the formation had been worn away by magical weapons, and the dark feathers on its body were also a bit darker than before.
This new master of his is about to break through to the fourth level in the realm of true cultivation of the human race. A few days ago, he successively subdued two true cultivation evil ghosts. The Yin energy fed back to his body, and he gained supernatural powers to control many ghosts. Finally, the moment of breaking through has come.
Li Yuan's figure was illusory and eerie. As his breath rose, the ghostly aura coiled around him like a black dragon, emitting a shrill howl. The temperature in the courtyard dropped sharply, a layer of frost condensed on the walls, and many ghosts and spirits appeared and disappeared in the mist.
Li Yuan's face was twisted, sometimes painful, sometimes ferocious, as if he was struggling against invisible shackles. The Thousand Soul Banner stood in the courtyard, and the twenty-four ghost generals were struggling to escape from the soul banner.
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a dark red light flashed by, and a powerful evil spirit exploded with him as the center.
The sky above this ghost town was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. The thunder seemed to be attracting something, and the sky to the north of the city became more agitated than the quiet usual.
Li Yuan raised his head and let out a long howl. His voice penetrated through layers of fog. His magical powers emitted a dim glow, declaring that he was the master who ruled over all the ghosts in this den of ghosts.
His long hair fluttered and spread out like tentacles growing wildly. Countless black hairs extended and entangled around the twenty-four ghost generals suppressed by the Thousand Souls Banner. The inky black hair gradually covered the struggling and wailing ghost generals bit by bit. The pressure on the Thousand Souls Banner also suddenly decreased and it slowly rose into the air, emitting a faint glow.
In less than an incense stick of time, the twenty-four ghost generals gradually disappeared. Li Yuan raised his head, and his long hair gradually shrank back to his normal waist-length hair. However, there were strands of scarlet in the hair.
Li Yuan's ferocious face gradually returned to its former stern look. His supernatural powers rose, and dark fog appeared in the sky. The soil underground collapsed, and evil ghosts crawled out from the ground, with all kinds of terrifying faces, and prostrated themselves to Li Yuan who was standing tall.
He stretched out his hand and the Thousand Souls Banner fell into his hand, erupting with terrifying power of controlling the underworld, which drew all the evil spirits into the soul banner.
Many ghost cultivators in Beilin City looked at the place where countless Yin Qi gathered with amazement and admiration. Xuanming Yin Qi is the orthodox ghost path of the underworld. For ghost cultivators, it would be a blessing from heaven if they could embark on this path.
It’s a pity that not everyone can cultivate the Xuanming Yin Qi, and the Xuanming Yin Qi traditions in the world are rare.
In addition, if one does not have an extremely tenacious soul to resist the backlash it brings, one will gradually lose his sanity as his cultivation becomes deeper and turn into a real evil ghost.
Li Yuan in the Xuanyuan Realm looked at Li Yuan's rising aura in the courtyard with satisfaction. Back then, he used his split soul to refine this puppet that was similar to an incarnation, and then used the bones on its spine to refine it into the body, which could not only nourish the Xuanming Bone Rope, but also rely on the evil of the bones to suppress the backlash of Yin Qi. In addition, the Xuanming Yin Qi Taoism of the Helian family was also very extraordinary, which made it possible for Li Yuan to practice smoothly all the way to this point.
The Li Yuan now has only a little more of the aura and pressure of a commander of a hundred ghosts than before.
When the various evil demons in the ghost fog saw the Thousand Souls Banner light up, they retreated and hid in the fog, no longer daring to provoke the owner of this place.
Li Yuan has been in this city for nearly ten years. He has fought his way through the city and has become famous. Except for a few seventh-level figures who rarely show up in the East City, no one dares to lay a plan on his courtyard wall.
Now that he has broken through the fourth level and is even stronger, naturally no one dares to provoke him.
…
The scene in Xuanyuan Realm is very different from what it was a few years ago.
The entire north side of the world is blocked by the Sima Stone, and no one knows what the scene is.
To the south is a vast plain valley with lush vegetation and various creatures living and multiplying. This area is nearly two to three thousand miles in radius.
At the end was a vast sea of fog, blocked by a curtain of light.
To the east of the Xuanyuan Realm is a vast forest where various spiritual trees grow, ranging from common spiritual trees in the outside world that are dozens of years old to rare and extinct spiritual trees that are thousands of years old.
It is just this area, no living creature can enter, and only the owner of this cave can enter and exit.
To the west of the world is a barren land. The soil is gray-red and there is nothing on the ground, not even a rocky mountain. No living creature dares to enter it.
Moreover, this soil is like fine quicksand, and if you step into it, you will even sink into the soft dust.
As for the center of this world, it is the most dazzling place.
In the auspicious light and auspicious mist, the buildings of the fairy palace stood tall and majestic. The jade buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, the flying eaves and brackets looked like swallowtails, the carved beams and painted buildings were exquisite and complex, and the dragons and phoenixes were lifelike, as if they were about to break through the wall and fly away.
Under the palaces, pavilions and halls, there are jade steps spread out layer by layer, as smooth as mirrors, with blue-armored divine soldiers guarding the gates on both sides, looking majestic and solemn.
Spiritual plants cling to the palace walls, their leaves are crystal clear and gleaming with light, their flowers bloom with fragrance, and their rich aroma spreads for hundreds of miles.
A rainbow bridge is built between the buildings, like neon waves. Under the bridge, a magical spring gurgles and makes a tinkling sound. Fairy mist rises and lingers between the palaces, just like a veil covering the palace. The mist makes the palace look more mysterious and ethereal, like a dreamland beyond the mortal world.
This holy palace is only a hundred miles in area and is not very large, but such a strange sight is rare in the world.
The fairy palace in front of us looks even more luxurious than the mountain gate of Qi Lingmen.
Of course, this fairy palace did not appear out of thin air, it was built by Li Yuan.
Since his supernatural powers improved, he had a deeper understanding of the way of puppets, and his Yuanshui supernatural power's control over puppets became even stronger.
Originally, there were still many deficiencies in the spiritual objects in the Xuanyuan Realm required to refine puppets, but now that Li Yuan was using his Yuanshui magical powers to refine puppets, many of the limitations had been weakened a lot.
In his spare time, he refined hundreds of puppets and drove them with his true energy. As long as they were within a radius of 100 miles, these puppets would accumulate magic power on their own to restore the magic power consumed daily.
Of course, the highest level of cultivation among these puppets is only in the late stage of Qi Refining, and they cannot reach the realm of true cultivation.
He controlled these puppets and started large-scale construction of palaces, towers, temples and pavilions. He worked day and night for several years and finally built the magnificent palace we have today.
Li Yuanzi is not a vain person. He does this to speed up his practice progress.
These palaces and pavilions were all built according to the formation, made brick by brick, with soil piling up to form mountains and tiles piling up to form palaces. Li Yuan pasted the Qingyuan Jianshui Treasure Talisman on every node of the formation, and more than one hundred talismans were used to cover the entire fairy palace in a formation.
Li Yuan lived deep in the palace, accumulating water from towers and pavilions, and the mist and dew from the heaven, earth, sun and moon, all of which belonged to him. His spirit remained there permanently, sensing the accumulating momentum of water virtue.
This ancient practice is also mentioned in the subsequent exercises of the spiritual lower Yuan Zhen Jue. Before the seventh turn, one should occupy the image of Yuan Shui in advance to accumulate the status for a long time.
After the seventh transformation, you will naturally become closer to Yuan Shui.
At this moment, Li Yuanzheng, who was deep in the Immortal Palace, was recording the new puppet formation that appeared in the Wan Kui Sutra in the library.
After practicing till now, Li Yuan feels more and more that the Wan Kui Sutra and the Tongling Xia Yuan Sutra are very compatible, or in other words, they are in line with the Yuan Shui Daotong.
Now that he was only at the fifth level, he could use his magical powers to refine puppets. If he could reach a higher level, wouldn't he be able to sense the status and refine real puppets?
If he were to go one step further and ascend to the throne, I am afraid that everyone he wishes for would become his puppet.
As for the perception of magical powers and objects, with the blessing of this fairy palace, Li Yuan can still sense the changes in water energy in the Qi Lingmen even if he is in the Xuanyuan Realm.
He also had a deeper understanding and perception of the meaning of "person".
…
Qixing Mountain, between the undulating mountains there are seven star-like tall buildings standing in the mountains, and many Qixing Mountain disciples shuttle back and forth in the mountains.
It is spring now, everything is reviving, everything is green, the mountains are green, and the clouds are misty.
On the top floor of Yaoguang Tower in the Seven Stars Tower, the silver-haired Yin You looked solemn, staring at the changes in the stars in the sky, and slowly said to the person beside him: "Have you really made up your mind?"
"Time waits for no one! If we wait any longer, we may miss the chance!"
The man beside her said firmly: "Now that it has been decided, it cannot be changed."
"Okay, I'll bet my life and property on this one!" Yin You's eyes were filled with ambition, but his tone remained calm. "My Seven Star Mountain has been suppressed for thousands of years. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before it loses its star status, and it will be difficult for me to practice true cultivation in the future."
"This is definitely a wise decision, Daoist friend!" The man laughed and said, "Your Dao and I are very close, so it's natural that it's in line with the ancient celestial Dao. I have a much better chance of success. Daoist friend, don't worry!"
"Of course I can rest assured. Once you and I start to fight, we will live and die together. This is a matter of life and death, and we have done our utmost.
But let me make it clear first, if things can’t be done…” Yin You still showed a worried look on his face.
"If it is impossible, you can go on your own." The man said with a smile, "As for the entire Nanjue Island, if I can't become the Shaoyang, then no one else will have a chance."
…
One month later, on the night of March 22nd, on the peak of Qilingmen.
Bai Suwen, playing the zither and enjoying the music, plucked the strings in his hand, feeling the sound of heaven and earth.
Xuanyin is divided into three parts, and she is the master of heaven, earth and man. She knew that her foundation was incomparable to that of the rumored Kehai royal family, so she specially cultivated the Xuanyin of human voice to avoid Kehai's status.
Tonight is the Spring Equinox, when all living things rely on the quiet of the night. She is especially sensitive to the sounds of the creatures in the mountains.
But as the night deepened, Bai Suwen frowned and looked up at the night sky.
In the empty night sky, the seven stars in the northern sky are surprisingly bright.
The Yaoguang Star at the end of the Big Dipper is particularly bright, hanging in the night sky and shining brightly.
"The Yaoguang star moves, the handle of the Big Dipper points eastward, and spring arrives all over the world." Bai Suwen wondered to himself, "But why doesn't this constellation seem to refer only to the spring season?"
"That's right. Yaoguang Star is shining, and Pojun Star is also moving!"
In the distance, Chen Guan also climbed up the mountain, looking at the Yaoguang Star in the north, frowning and saying: "I'm afraid this is a sign of unrest in the world. It's not God's will, but human power!"
"This... Could it be that something has changed in the sect?" Bai Su asked doubtfully.
"My magical power [Shang Yi Qian] is also a technique of alternation, and I can vaguely sense the changes in the stars." Chen Guan said thoughtfully: "Most likely it was the great cultivator on the Seven Star Mountain who used his own power to sense the position and change the celestial phenomena with human power."
“But she is the only one who has reached the highest position in Seven Star Mountain right now. If the seven of them could sense the status of the Seven Stars at the same time, perhaps there would be a big change.
But it would be hard for her to succeed alone, right?" Bai Suwen asked in confusion, "Her move is like hitting a rock with an egg."
"Just wait and see. The stars are mysterious and unpredictable, and we can't make a conclusion until the end." Chen Guan concentrated and watched carefully the changes of the stars in the sky.
At the same time, on the entire Nanjue Island, all the true practitioners looked up at the sky with a sense of something in their hearts, looking at the brightest Yaoguang Star in confusion.
In the Linglong Sect, all the mountain masters looked at each other in surprise and doubt. The changes in the world and the shining star of Pojun were naturally related to their Linglong Sect for Nanjue Island.
On the top of the mountain, Fan Yangzi asked in surprise, "What is Qixing Mountain going to do?"
"She is the only true cultivator at a higher level. Even if she has the inheritance of the stars, what big waves can she create?" Xia Changqi said indifferently.
"No! When the handle of the Big Dipper points to the east, spring will come to the whole world. Could it be that she is going to communicate with the seven stars of the Azure Dragon, and the Azure Dragon will appear in the world, and Shaoyang will come out?" Qu Ziheng exclaimed.
"Oh no, I forgot about Yang Dongchen!" Xia Changqi said coldly, "Go to Qixing Mountain quickly!"
Immediately, several ninth-level great cultivators stood up and rushed to the Seven Star Mountain.
At this moment, the Seven Star Mountain had already activated the mountain protection formation. The seven star towers built on the mountain echoed each other faintly. Yin You was even sitting cross-legged on the Yaoguang Star Tower, using his magical powers to guide the stars around him.
There was a faint aura of a blue dragon coming from the eastern sky, and the stars of the Blue Dragon gradually became brighter.
Among the Four Ancient Symbols Road, the symbol of Shaoyang corresponds to the Azure Dragon!
In the easternmost part of the country, the sky was filled with flickering auroras, which turned into blue and cast shadows on the seven blue dragons in the sky.
The Big Dipper intersects, the Pojun star moves, and the world is changing! In the sky of the Eastern Land, Yang Dongchen suppressed his inner excitement, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, declaring to the heaven and earth: "Now there is Yang Dongchen, who has been practicing Taoism for 871 years. He is the descendant of Shangyang Palace under Taixuan. Now his supernatural powers are perfect and he can sense his status remotely. I hope that heaven and earth will help him!
I, thank heaven and earth, and hope to ascend to Shaoyang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dongchen mobilized the true energy in his body, inducing the Shaoyang level that had merged into the magical power to communicate with the Shaoyang level above the nine heavens.
A blue dragon roared between heaven and earth, spring came overnight, and the seven stars were like the sky, overlooking everything in the world.
At Qi Ling Gate, Chen Guan exclaimed: "Shaoyang's position, the ancient path of the Four Symbols, is indeed far more powerful than the position of the Five Elements!"
In the valley, the silent Wang Qianlei was also awakened by the sound of the blue dragon. He looked up at the sky, and countless fragmented memories inexplicably emerged in his mind.
