I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 148 Epiphany
Li Anran didn't know what happened in the mortal world and Lingshan.

That day the monkey went to the Lingxiao Palace to ask the Jade Emperor about Che Chiguo.

He waited for a while, but he didn't see the monkey come back, so he went back to the quiet room to continue his practice.

Time passed quickly during the practice, and it was the day of the Fairy Tea Conference in a flash.

Nezha came to Tianlao Palace early, and led Li Anran to fly to the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain.

Qianyuan Mountain is located in the southwest of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and it is one of the branches of West Kunlun.

When the two arrived at the top of Qianyuan Mountain, it was just as the rising sun was rising and the purple air was coming from the east.

"Li Anran, look!" Nezha happily tugged at Li Anran.

Li Anran looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw the dense purple air rising above Qianyuan Mountain, and the half-round red sun in front of us was about to rise, reflecting unpredictable rays of light on the clouds and mists.

As the sun rose slowly, the clouds gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and was shining in the Golden Light Cave. It looked as if the Golden Light Cave was projecting golden light outwards, illuminating the clouds.

"No wonder Taiyi Tianzun's dojo is called the Golden Cave!" Li Anran suddenly realized.

Nezha said with a smile: "My master went to Qianyuan Mountain and saw the golden glow, so he built this golden cave. It has been thousands of years ago."

Saying that, the two pressed down the cloud heads to show their respect for Taiyi Tianzun, and walked along the mountain road towards the Golden Light Cave.

"Look over there. That lotus pond is called the Five Lotus Pond. My master likes lotus flowers the most. He found these lotus flowers from the five directions of east, west, north, middle."

Nezha practiced with Daoist Taiyi since he was a child, and the time he spent in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain was second only to the Yunlou Palace in Tianting.

Going back to Qianyuan Mountain is the same as going home for him.

With a somewhat ostentatious tone, he introduced the various scenery in Qianyuan Mountain to Li Anran.

Daoist Taiyi became the head teacher of the Xuanmen, Qinghua Emperor of the East Pole of Heaven, and had Taoist palaces in various places in the Three Realms after he left the gods and catastrophes.

Therefore, this Qianyuan Mountain has always maintained the most primitive and uncarved scene in ancient times.

Rare rare flowers and fruits, fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum, dragon, phoenix, unicorn, white ape and auspicious beast can be seen everywhere here.

Walking through it, it was like going back tens of thousands of years ago. The aura was so rich that it was atomized into aura, which was a bit more exaggerated than the heaven.

Soon, the two walked to the front of the mountain gate.

There is a stele on the left side of the mountain gate. There are six big characters on the stele, which read "Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain".

There are more than a dozen Taoist boys standing at the gate of the mountain, welcoming the guests.

The leader looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate eyebrows. He was wearing a light blue Taoist robe with cloud patterns embroidered on it, and held a dust whisk in his hand.

"Senior Brother, Prison God!" The leading Daoist quickly stepped forward to meet them, and bowed to the two of them.

The rest of the boys also stepped forward to salute: "Senior brother, the Prison God!"

Nezha first introduced to Li Anran one by one: "This is my Junior Brother Jinxia, ​​and this is Junior Brother Qingyun..." Then he asked the leader Jinxia Boy: "Junior Brother, is the Immortal Tea Conference still being held on the Wendao Stage?"

Jinxia Tongzi nodded.

Nezha said, "I'll just take the Prison God with me. You are here to entertain other guests."

"That's hard work, brother."

Tongzi Jinxia knew that Li Anran and Nezha were close, so he didn't refuse, but couldn't help but look at Li Anran a few more times.

He has heard the name Li Anran a lot these years.

From the mouth of Nezha, from the mouths of other immortals, and even from the mouth of Taiyi Tianzun.

In just 300 years, Li Anran, the Prison God, has been spurned by thousands of people at the beginning, and later became famous as the Three Gods of War in the Heavenly Court, and now he can receive the invitation of the Taiyi Tianzun Immortal Tea Conference.

The magnitude of the reversal is unique in the past thousand years.

He can be said to be very curious about Li Anran.

I wanted to meet Li Anran when I sent the invitation before, but it turned out to be a mistake, and I didn't meet him for the first time until today.

"It's no wonder that the Prison God is as famous as Nezha and Yang Jian. His appearance and demeanor are really extraordinary!"

"I don't know if those people were blind at the beginning? How could they regard him as a lucky person?"

Jinxia Boy thought to himself.

Li Anran felt the admiration and love from Jinxia boy almost instantly.

In fact, there is no need to perceive it, just look at it to know!
This Jinxia boy hadn't left Daoist Taiyi's side much at first glance, he was pure-minded, without any city, and his mood changes were almost written on his face!
First, he looked at Li Anran curiously, and then the smile on his face widened a lot.

The rest of the boys are similar.

Li Anran could even guess that if it wasn't for the Fairy Tea Conference today, if it wasn't for him as a guest, these children might rush to Nezha and play with him.

After passing the mountain gate, and then going through two gates, the Golden Light Cave suddenly appeared in front of you.

Unlike today's gods and monsters who like to build their own caves into palaces and attics, Jinguangdong still maintains the style of ancient times, with a rough style from the inside to the outside.

At first glance, it seems a bit simple, but the more you look at it, the more extraordinary it becomes.

Every stone, tree, flower, and grass in the cave are completely natural, seemingly ordinary, but they also coincide with the number of avenues and mysterious formations, but they are hidden so deep that people without a certain level of cultivation can't see the clues at all.

Li Anran walked all the way, his eyes were shining brightly, and he felt enlightened from time to time.

His formation method was learned from those sinners in the prison, which originated from this ancient formation method, but there are many differences.

Going back to the source at this time, I have seen the evolution and refinement of the formation over the past countless years, and the harvest is so great that it is indescribable.

Li Anran stopped unknowingly, staring blankly at the front, as if lost in thought, or in a trance.

"Huh? Lee..."

Nezha was introducing the various landscapes in the Golden Cave to Li Anran, but suddenly found that Li Anran was not moving, and was about to call him, when he noticed that Li Anran seemed to be having an epiphany.

Epiphany? !
What is this ghost?

The Fairy Tea Conference hasn't started yet, and the Enlightenment tea hasn't been drunk yet, so why did he suddenly realize it?

Nezha was a little confused, but he quickly covered his mouth, for fear of alarming Li Anran and ruining his chance.

For a cultivator, every epiphany is a huge improvement, even when it comes to Jinxian, Taiyi Jinxian, and Daluo Jinxian.

"There are people coming and going here, and it's easy to be disturbed."

Nezha thought for a while, took out the Qiankun circle, drew a circle on the ground, and surrounded Li Anran inside.

Afterwards, he pinched another formula, and a little golden light surged from his fingertips, turning into a palm-sized crane.

"Go!" Nezha softly shouted.

The crane seemed to come alive, flapping its wings and flying towards the depths of the Golden Light Cave.

The Golden Light Cave is the ashram of Taiyi Daoist. Although Nezha is Taiyi Daoist's apprentice, he still needs to report what happened here to Taiyi Daoist to avoid any misunderstandings.

After finishing these, Nezha stood by and protected Li Anran.

At this time, Li Anran had already forgotten everything about the outside world, even where he was, and was completely immersed in the comprehension of the formation.

hum!
A golden pattern appeared on Li Anran's forehead, but he subconsciously displayed his celestial clairvoyance, and a pattern of patterns invisible to the naked eye appeared in his field of vision.

He can have this epiphany, it is not groundless, there is no reason.

Li Anran raised the Jade Immortal Formation to the full level before, and his comprehension of the formation has reached a critical point.

During this period of time, he has been practicing "Shangqing Fuqijue", and his own comprehension has been greatly improved.

In this way, a breakthrough in the formation has become a matter of course.

The formation in the Golden Light Cave is just an introduction, breaking through this layer of membrane, this bottleneck.

In a daze, he saw the golden light converging into nine golden dragons, baring their teeth and claws, soaring into the sky, making the sound of dragons chant.

His line of sight also continued to rise as the golden dragon soared into the sky, to the sky beyond Jiuxiao, overlooking the Qianyuan Mountain below.

Roar!
Nine golden dragons were entangled together in mid-air, and then the dragons swooped down with their heads facing down.

Wisps of golden light circulated, forming a cover, which covered the entire Qianyuan Mountain upside down.

The light in Li Anran's eyes brightened.

Everything in his field of vision began to spin and shrink, flying into his eyes little by little, and blending into his mind.

hum!
Li Anran suddenly came back to his senses, all the visions disappeared, and he also understood everything about the formation.

However, there was not much joy on Li Anran's face, but a little more helplessness.

Nezha on the side didn't notice this. Seeing Li Anran waking up from an epiphany, he asked curiously: "Li Anran, why did you suddenly have an epiphany? What did you realize?"

Li Anran smiled helplessly, not knowing how to answer.

Glancing at the Punishment Book, there was an extra formation on the personal panel.

Nine Dragons Formation: A seven-tier formation.The Zhendong array in Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain can be combined with Yin-Yang and Five Elements to form Nine Dragons Divine Fire Array, Nine Dragons Divine Water Array, Nine Dragons Divine Thunder Array, etc.

...This shit!
The corners of Li Anran's eyes twitched.

Is this Nine Dragons formation powerful?
It is very powerful!

Seventh order formation!

It is already at the same level as the Acacia Kungfu created by Fox Ancestor!
It is second only to the Zhuxian formation he learned from the fake Tongtian leader!
Nine times out of ten, it was created by a sage or improved with the guidance of a sage!

However, this formation is the Great Formation in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain!

Moreover, he comprehended it in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, under the eyes of Daoist Taiyi, which is a bit cheating!
How should this cause and effect be resolved?

Li Anran had a headache.

If he had a choice, he would rather not comprehend it himself!

"Li Anran, what's wrong with you? Are you talking?" Nezha stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Li Anran.

"I……"

Li Anran was about to speak when he saw a palm-sized crane flying over and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Nezha, I already know the matter. The Fairy Tea Conference is about to start, so you should bring in the Prison God first."

The voice of Master Taiyi came from the crane.

"Yes." Nezha replied respectfully, stretched out his hand to take the crane back, and led Li Anran to Wendaotai.

On the way, Li Anran also told Nezha what he had learned about the Nine Dragon Formation.

"What?! Have you comprehended the Nine Dragon Formation?"

Nezha was dumbfounded, with the expression of seeing a ghost.

He has never liked complicated things like formations, but he also knows that the Nine Dragons Formation is the formation of Jin Guangdong!
This is the first time Li Anran came here, did he learn the cave-suppressing formation? !

Nezha couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "Li Anran, you are too good! It's only been so long, and you can actually comprehend the Nine Dragon Formation! It's so good!"

Li Anran: "..." I don't want to either!

Nezha saw Li Anran's worry, and comforted him: "Don't worry! My master has always been the most generous, and I won't blame you for this!"

Li Anran: "..." Dadu?Real Taiyi?Are you kidding me?
Li Anran was even more speechless.

But, on second thought.

Nezha's words are not entirely wrong!
Daoist Taiyi is vengeful to outsiders, but to his own people, it's the exact opposite!
No matter how big a disaster Nezha gets into, he will protect his shortcomings and admit his relatives, and Nezha will think that his generosity is also reasonable!
My own...

Li Anran carefully considered these three words.

The two of them headed inward, turning three times and two times, and soon arrived at Wendao Terrace.

Wendao Terrace is located in the back cave of Jinguang Cave. It is composed of a huge bluestone, with stone tables and chairs placed on it. In the center is a green tea tree that radiates ten thousand zhang rays of light. It is the innate spiritual root enlightenment tea tree.

Because of the delay on the road, when Li Anran and the others arrived, there were already many gods sitting on the Dao Stage.

At a glance, they are all people from the Taoist sect, including the Taishang Laojun, the Three Immortals of Fushoulu, the Great Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains, as well as the Wudang Madonna and the Jinling Madonna who cut off the teaching.

These belong to those who have seats, and there are many disciples standing beside them.

Taiyi Tianzun was sitting on the main seat, and was talking with Taishang Laojun and Wudang Holy Mother, when he saw two people coming in, he stopped.

"Disciple Nezha pays homage to Master." Nezha walked up to salute.

Daoist Taiyi nodded slightly, and said: "I haven't greeted all your uncles and uncles yet."

In the Heavenly Court, it is about strength and status, and Nezha saw the Taishang Laojun and the Holy Mother of Wudang, and they were just ordinary salutes.

But here, seniority has become the most important thing!

Nezha was much more honest in front of Daoist Taiyi, and respectfully saluted Wudang Madonna, Taishang Laojun, etc. according to his words.

However, the Madonna of Wudang's attention is all on Li Anran.

Li Anran had just realized the formation in the Golden Light Cave, and the commotion was not small, and they had already noticed it immediately.

Not to mention, Nezha also flew the crane to report the matter to Master Taiyi.

Li Anran stepped forward against everyone's gaze: "Li Anran has met Emperor Qinghua, and Taishang Daozu..."

In front of these big bosses, he didn't dare to make any excuses. He regarded himself as Nezha's friend and behaved like a junior.

Daoist Taiyi nodded slightly, the more he looked at Li Anran, the more satisfied he was, and he praised: "You are Li Anran, the god of prison? You are really a young hero, extraordinary! No wonder Nezha keeps praising you in my ears!"

Although he often heard about Li Anran's extraordinaryness from Nezha Yang Jian, he didn't pay much attention to it.

There are so many amazing geniuses in this world!

Of these innate beings, which one is not favored by heaven, with extraordinary heels and profound luck?
But today, he realized that he underestimated Li Anran!
Not to mention anything else, just Li Anran's savvy and attainments in formations, not to mention being among the younger generations, even counting from the beginning of the world, he can still be ranked first!
Master Taiyi thought that Yang Jian had suggested him to take Li Anran under his family.

At that time, because Li Anran had just rejected Patriarch Hongyun, he put the matter aside because of Patriarch Hongyun's face.

This time, he really had the idea of ​​taking Li Anran under his wing.

However, there is no rush to accept apprentices.

"The Immortal Tea Conference is about to begin, you should go and take your seat first," said Taiyi Daoist.

At that moment, a fairy boy came forward and led Li Anran to sit on his seat.

Nezha stood behind Taiyi Daoist.
