Bone Taoist

Chapter 706: A Fantasy Dream
Above the lotus seat, the stars are flowing, and a cold moon is hanging in the boundless universe.
Only Nascent Soul cultivators with strong enough spiritual awareness can see this strange scene. Otherwise, they will only see a distorted and dim void. Above the cold moon, there seems to be a woman in a silver robe sitting cross-legged. That is the manifestation of the spiritual awareness within the Hedao Secret Treasure, representing the appearance of the owner when he was alive.

Jade towers rise and fall like palaces in immortals, but they look extremely unreal, like a mirage.

Everyone was in a daze for a moment, and reacted immediately.

Whoosh!
An old man who had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage flew away without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately used their escape techniques and followed closely behind.

"If there is a secret treasure that can only be reached by the soul, what's the point of going there with the physical body?" A young monk frowned.

"The Lotus Seat is guarded by a restriction, so it is much safer for the body to stay there. If the soul leaves the body outside, wouldn't it be putting one's life in the hands of others?"

"The lotus seat has this wonderful use!"

"The magic power is as solid as a quagmire, and there are restrictions on the body. Once the body enters the lotus petals, there is no way to retreat, and it is difficult to move forward."

"Why are you still standing there? Don't lose the opportunity!"

In an instant, all the cultivators outside the God and Demon Rift were in an uproar, and countless Taoists fled away like a swarm of locusts.

Rumbling--

The magic power emanating from the cultivator's purple palace was almost gathering into a big river, and the scene was very spectacular.

Luo Jingyang, Lan Yushu and other disciples of the Divine Religion also went there as soon as possible.

There were too many people, and before they reached the swaying petals of the lotus seat, many Taoists had already arrived to fight.

Above the sky, the divine light shines.

Luo Jingyang took the lead, and his Heavenly Fire Divine Hidden Abyss was opened. The Taoists around him widened their eyes and could not help but retreat.

To the north of the lotus seat, Meihualuo was carrying a murderous aura, as if she was in an empty space. She attacked ruthlessly, and any cultivator who dared to block her way was killed in one blow without a word, and blood splattered into the sky!

"Avoid this woman and take another path!" Someone said with embarrassment when he saw this.

At the same time, inside the ancient city of Beiqu, which is hidden in the secret place.

Ye Zang, Jian Shisi, Taichu Saint Son and Xue Ning were sitting cross-legged inside the cave.

They each held a formation plate, and seemed to be constructing a formation.

This formation was exactly the Taixu ancient formation that Ye Zang obtained in the Blood God Forest.

"Isn't it too risky?" Xue Ning tilted his head and looked at Ye Zang.

"If we leave our physical body in the ancient city, in case the devil breaks through the formation, we will have to return to our spiritual body and lose the initiative." Jian Shisi said with a frown.

Ye Zang seemed to be thinking about something, and said with concentration: "It is not a long-term solution to let the body be controlled by the petals of the Lotus Flower. Besides, there is the demon's soul in the lotus seat, so it is better to be cautious."

Although there are elders of Hedao guarding the sky, the devil's spirit acts without any rules and no one knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

While Ye Zang and the other three were setting up the formation, everyone in the Beiqu Ancient City had already fled towards the lotus seat on Tianqiong.

After the Nascent Soul Secret Treasure came out, the sky had completely opened up. Ye Zang could see countless cultivators outside heading towards the path, and the competition was very fierce.

The huge twelve-petal lotus petals unfolded, and incomparably powerful magic power floated on them. That was the magic power that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm.

After the monks entered, their bodies were immediately suppressed, as if they were carrying countless huge mountains on their backs. They had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the lotus petals.

Even cultivators as strong as Zhang Tianlin, Jiang Yijing of Longshou Mountain, and others with strong bodies were immediately oppressed and had to stand on the lotus petals. Taking a step required them to exhaust all their strength.

"Brother Ye's Zhulong body, can it withstand this kind of magical suppression?" The Holy Son of Taichu suddenly tilted his head and asked.

"I don't specialize in the physical body, nor do I have the physique of a true great demon, so naturally I can't confront you." Ye Zang shook his head.

If there is any Nascent Soul cultivator who can move freely on the petals of the Hedao Lotus, he must have the physique of a true pure-blooded demon. The Chaos descendants of Wanduan Mountain may be able to do it.

As the four of them were talking, the Taixu Ancient Formation under their feet had already been set up.

Ye Zang took out the Wuxiang Ding and guarded the center of the Dragon Head Formation.

The Taixu formation could be activated, and the surrounding space was distorted, hiding the thousands of feet around Ye Zang and the other three in the chaotic void, which was very magical.

“This is the ancient formation inside the Blood God Forest. A formation of this scale doesn’t seem like something that could be set up by the creatures in the Nascent Soul Secret Treasure.” The Holy Son of Taichu stared, recalling the formation he had seen inside the Blood God Forest.

"It is a relic from ancient times, probably arranged by ancient creatures." Jian Shisi said casually.

"Everyone, it's time to compete for destiny." Ye Zang changed the subject and said.

"There are twelve spiritual paths left. Let's avoid them one by one and meet again in the secret treasure!" Xue Ning said.

As the four of them were talking, their souls left their bodies in an instant.

They have all perfected their cultivation of the Nascent Soul Lotus Seat, so naturally they have their own methods of achieving Hedao and leaving the body.

Ye Zang's soul shows the energy of the sun and the moon, Jian Shisi is full of sharpness, Xue Ning's soul is very magical, it can actually induce the resonance of the spiritual energy circulating in heaven and earth, and the soul of the Holy Son of Taichu is equipped with the Five Elements Law, and is domineering and arrogant.

"I'm going to the south at noon." The Holy Son of Taichu looked at the lotus petals in the south and said in a clear voice.

"Brother Lu, are you going after Sikong Ying?" Xue Ning tilted his head.

"I want him to die here." The Primordial Spirit of the Holy Son of Taichu shook, and he flew away into the air at an extremely fast speed.

The chief of the Ghost Spirit Sect was also on that lotus petal. The two had accumulated a lot of grudges before in the Nascent Soul Secret Treasure.

Jian Shisi's soul was extremely sharp, like a stunning sword energy, and he headed towards the lotus petal at the '卯' position in the east direction.

Xue Ning went to the western You position.

Ye Zang's Dharma Eye observed the four directions and headed towards the lotus petals in the north.

Judging from the paths of spiritual consciousness evolved from the twelve lotus petals, the correct path is undoubtedly the shortest and the fastest way to reach the Hedao secret treasure, so most of the well-known geniuses choose the correct positions of "east, south, west and north".

The wind was whistling all around, and magical power like a cold moon was pouring down.

Before they even got close to the lotus petals, the suppressing force was already making people sweat profusely. However, the bodies of Ye Zang and the other three were left outside, so it had no effect on them.

"Someone has directly flown here using his original spirit." A cultivator said with narrowed eyes.

"Who is so brave that he is not afraid of his body being destroyed outside?"

Some Taoists observed the void around them and could vaguely see some souls flying away.

There were many Taoists who had the same idea as Ye Zang and the other three, including Jiang Yijing from Longshou Mountain and other Dongsheng geniuses, almost all of whom flew here directly using their souls.

High in the sky, the lotus throne sways and unfolds.

The twelve blood-colored lotus petals were incomparably huge. When fully opened, each petal was thousands of miles wide, covering the entire God and Demon Rift Valley.

The magical power of the Dao is extremely powerful. When the monks set foot here in their physical bodies, they are immediately suppressed and sit down.

Some cultivators whose Nascent Soul Lotus Seats were not perfected could not leave their bodies, so they had to practice here. However, being so close to the Secret Treasure of the Hedao, the efficiency of the Lotus Seat was many times faster than usual!
Ye Zang flew in the air, and in half an incense stick of time, he had arrived on the lotus petals in the north direction.

He landed steadily and looked around. It was as if he had come to a continent, a vast expanse of blood-red land, and the forbidden patterns on the ground spread out like spider webs.

Directly in front, thousands of feet away, was the interior of the lotus seat, which was filled with blood mist.

Looking up, there is the boundless universe of stars and a cold moon hanging high in the sky. Above the cold moon, one can see rows of jade towers, like a fairy palace.

All around, cultivators kept flying over, landing on the lotus petals and sitting cross-legged. They were oppressed by the huge power of the Hedao and could not move.

Immediately afterwards, some souls gradually left the body.

"There are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators who have reached this stage, and many of them are from the younger generation."

Ye Zang narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The soul can leave the body when in the Nascent Soul stage. The Hedao pattern on the lotus seat is almost perfect. More than ten thousand people have come to the petals of the lotus where Ye Zang is. There are nearly a thousand people alone whose soul can leave the body.

Monks from all corners of the world gathered here.

"It seems that the news spreads very quickly. With so many Taoists coming here, I don't believe that we can't open the entrance to the Taixu Illusionary Realm." Ye Zang said with gloomy eyes.

A large number of monks sat cross-legged on the lotus throne.

Ye Zang saw a familiar figure, Meihualuo coming from afar and landing steadily on him. She was wearing a black robe, and after sitting cross-legged, without saying a word, her soul left her body immediately.

In the void, the souls of many cultivators were flying towards the direction of the secret treasure of Hedao, and their speed was very slow, like a snail.

The spiritual path emanating from the Hedao Secret Treasure was filled with starlight, guiding them to an unknown place.

This place is very different from other secret treasures. Only the soul can go there. To put it bluntly, it is an illusory place, a dream place constructed by the powerful soul and consciousness of the Hedao monks during their lifetime.

The stars in the sky are shining brightly.

The cultivator's soul flew away, just like the butterflies in Zhou Gong's dream, flying into the illusory world and disappearing without a trace.

Ye Zang took a deep breath, his eyes shining.

The suppression of the Hedao on the lotus seat is extremely powerful. It is very difficult to fly here, let alone use magical powers and Taoism, so the cultivators can let their souls leave their bodies with confidence.

Cultivators like Ye Zang, whose Nascent Soul and Soul have reached perfection, tried to use their Soul to attack, but to no avail.

"It's just a dream. Whether it can reach the realm of fantasy depends on today."

Ye Zang's soul paced away.

Stepping on the void, underfoot is the Hedao restriction that flows like a big river.

As he walked towards the sky, the scene around him was changing rapidly, becoming hazy and unreal.

By the time Ye Zang climbed to a height of thousands of feet, everything around him had changed completely. The lotus seat disappeared, the cold moon in the sky also disappeared, and the God and Demon Rift Valley was also nowhere to be seen.

There was darkness in front of Ye Zang's eyes, as if they were covered by something, and the Taoist's voice seemed to ring in his ears.

"If your heart is as clear as ice, you will not be startled even if the sky falls. If you are calm despite all changes, your mind will be at peace. You will not be stained by dust or worldly things. The void is peaceful and empty, with nothing in it. Nothingness gives birth to everything, and difficulty and ease complement each other..."

The voice that spoke was a very young female voice.

Ye Zang seemed to have heard of this text. It was the Heart Purification Mantra widely spread in Dongsheng Shenzhou. It was the Taoist text for opening up the spiritual orifice at the beginning of entering the Tao. It was said to be the law of Guanghan Holy Land.

Everything began to become clear.

All around, thick fog gradually rose, the air became extremely humid, and green mountains and rivers began to appear, as if one was in a fairyland.

But Ye Zang knew that all this was an illusory place, the place of fantasy and dream of the True Lord Hedao. After her death, the lotus seat evolved into this spiritual path, which was the "post station" leading to the real Hedao secret treasure.

Boo!
Rare and precious flying beasts are circling between the mountains and rivers, creating a scene that looks like a splash-ink landscape painting.

Ye Zang looked around with trembling eyes, and for a moment he could hardly distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Although it is a dreamland constructed by spiritual consciousness, the soul can condense magical power while in it. Unfortunately, my soul has reached its limit and cannot make any further progress before it achieves harmony with the Tao." Ye Zang thought to himself.

Ye Zang flew down from the sky and stepped on the wet grass.

All of this was too real, and Ye Zang tried to calm his mind so as not to lose his soul.

In the past, there was a Taoist who could not distinguish between dreams and reality. He went against the will of Heaven and destroyed his own body in reality, just to go to the place he believed to be real.

There is even an elder who has become possessed by a demon and believes that the entire ten continents are an illusion created by immortals.

You should not delve too deeply into such theories, otherwise you will just sink into them and be unable to extricate yourself.

"Return your mind to the void, and the heaven and earth will live as long as you do!"

Ye Zang silently recited the Taoist text, and the power of the moon and the sun flowed through his soul.

The Demon Lord's Hedao Out-of-Body Method has the ability to protect the primordial spirit, so that the three souls and seven spirits will not sink. After Ye Zang rested on the spot for a while, he really set out to explore the surroundings.

He had to find the exit and head to the real Hedao secret treasure. Everything here was just a dream, which could be considered the first level of the trial. If he couldn't even get out of here, how could he talk about Taixu's creation?

This time the world was very real, and Ye Zang flew for half a day.

I discovered a fairy city in the distance, which was bustling with people and full of peace.

Fairies dressed in silk and satin flew away, the Taoists looked relaxed, and the people here seemed to have no worries, with smiles on their faces.

Ye Zang stepped on the mysterious energy and stopped outside the city, not rushing in.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you from?" A pretty girl greeted Ye Zang.

"A guest is a guest. Since you have found the fairy city, why don't you come in and have a chat?" A young man confronted him in mid-air.

Ye Zang looked at them expressionlessly.

After a pause, he asked, "Please give me some directions. Where is the end of this world?"

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The creation of heaven and earth is endless. Why not rest for a few days?" Someone looked up and said with a smile.

"Life is short, and plants and trees wither with autumn. If you miss it, it will be hard to come back." A fairy with beautiful eyes shining brightly smiled at Ye Zang.

Ye Zang's Dharma eyes opened wide and he explored those Taoists unscrupulously.

They all had a hazy fairy mist on them, which was extremely real. Then, Ye Zang looked into the fairy city and penetrated into its deepest places.

Under the earth veins, an extremely black soul stone was discovered.

This kind of spiritual stone only exists in the land of Taixu Fantasy Dreams. It is also a thing constructed by divine consciousness and cannot exist in the real world. It can be used for cultivation to enhance the power of the soul.
