Bone Taoist

Chapter 736 Tianque Terrace

"Sister..."

The space and time around him seemed to have stood still. Ye Zang's spiritual sense enveloped the entire Langya Palace. It was so subtle that even the sound of a mayfly flapping its wings could not escape his ears.

He did not disturb Shu Aohan, but just observed her Taoist body, trying to find the whereabouts of her soul. At least he had to have a rough direction. Otherwise, searching in the huge starting point of the Taixu Illusionary Realm would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would take a long time to find it.

A faint divine light emanated from Shu Aohan's spiritual orifice.

While Ye Zang was observing intently, he seemed to see a sage's palace. It was Shu Aohan's divine treasure, the divine treasure of the great road that the ancient sages had walked on.

Inside the Saint Palace, there stood a jade-carved statue of a god that looked exactly like Shu Aohan. It seemed to be holding up the entire world, majestic and oppressive.

While Ye Zang was using his soul to investigate, a thought moved his mind.

In an instant, the Heavenly Soul Dharmakaya within his soul flew out, passed through the Taixu Gate, and headed for the starting point of the Taixu Illusionary Realm. This way, perhaps he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The pattern of the Great Circulation Array shone in the spiritual orifice, and Ye Zang used his spiritual consciousness to weave a sky net, crisscrossing each other.

He was trying to capture the traces of Shu Aohan's soul in the surrounding space. The breath was very weak and almost imperceptible. Ye Zang observed carefully for a while before he found the traces of Shu Aohan's soul.

He has already confirmed that Shu Aohan is in the starting point, probably in seclusion in a cave of some god, and that cave is in a restricted area similar to the Corpse Ridge, otherwise Ye Zang would not have been able to find him.

Shu Aohan's skin was as white as cream, and she sat cross-legged on the dragon cushion like an old pine tree in meditation. Her silver robe rustled slightly as she moved with her spiritual consciousness. She looked like an immortal, her soul had disappeared, wandering in the void.

Along with the Heavenly Soul Dharma Body went the Oath-Breaking Spirit, who used it to sense the Promise-Breaking Sword.

Ye Zang's search lasted for seven days.

His heavenly soul and Dharma body roamed within the original land of Taixu, flying over mountains and valleys, clouds and huge peaks, traveling for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.

At a certain moment, he seemed to sense a cold and sharp breath of the soul coming from the extreme north. Ye Zang was very familiar with that breath. It was the breath of Shu Aohan's swordsmanship. Although the senior sister in this life had not cut off the seven emotions of human nature, her swordsmanship still had an indomitable momentum and was very sharp and distinct.

Ye Zang's mind moved and he suddenly opened his eyes.

He wasted no time in recalling his heavenly soul and Dharma body.

Then he silently recited the Sun and Moon Out-of-Body Sutra, and his soul instantly left his body and headed into the illusory world of Taixu again.

……

In the initial stage of the ancient Tengnuo formation, a illusory gate of Hedao appeared in the sky. The ancient formation hummed and emitted divine light, and then a Taoist priest in a black robe walked out.

Of course it’s Ye Zang.

"The far north is very close to the uninhabited area. Could it be that Senior Sister is in seclusion in a cave in the uninhabited area?"

Ye Zang frowned and thought in his heart.

The uninhabited areas of the Taixu Illusion Realm are extremely dangerous and ferocious places. Although there are opportunities for good fortune in those places, they have been cultivated very slowly throughout history.

The Taixu Illusion Realm was able to reach its current size and have countless caves of gods because of the careful trial and error of the predecessors. The great catastrophe at the end of the ancient times also affected the Taixu Illusion Realm. Countless Taoists perished and countless forbidden areas were created. Of course, the spirits of some Taoists survived, but their memories had long been confused over the long years.

For example, the long-bearded man and the short-bearded ghost, their identities have remained a mystery until now.

In his previous life, Ye Zang did not go to the uninhabited area. At that time, he had just advanced to the He Dao stage and was a late bloomer. It can be said that he valued his life very much. He practiced the Taoist tradition very cautiously and would never do anything without certainty.

Thinking in his mind, Ye Zang mastered the art of escape, folded the space, and his soul flew towards the north of the original place.

While flying, Ye Zang used his Dharma Eye to be alert to his surroundings.

More than two years have passed since the Hedao Secret Treasure came out. During the time when Ye Zang was in seclusion, many cultivators must have also come here, and there were many unfamiliar faces in the initial stage.

"Those sects might even send elders to escort us. If we run into them, there will inevitably be some conflict..."

Those Hedao elders in Dongsheng Shenzhou are eager to get rid of me as soon as possible. Even in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, I have to be careful in dealing with them.

The spirit of the Oath-Breaking Weapon transformed into a bone sword and flew around Ye Zang.

Ye Zang was in tune with his thoughts and asked him to sense the location of the spirit of the destroyed weapon. He naturally knew what Ye Zang meant. The sword body trembled and the murderous consciousness spread out like ripples in the sea.

The mountains, rivers and lakes unfold slowly in the distance like a splash-ink landscape painting.

Except for the dark and depressing sky, other places here are like a fairyland, fascinating.

The soul flew at a very fast speed for several days.

"Although I have never set foot in the Far North in my previous life, I heard that there are many Taoist 'Tianquetai' stationed there."

The so-called Tianque Terrace is a creation of divine consciousness.

It is a cave used by various major sects to suppress and repair restricted areas. It is extremely useful and is similar to the Tianquetai that Ye Zang saw in the ninth generation burial coffin of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Almost to the 'border' land.

The Taixu Illusion Realm has no boundaries, and the so-called boundaries here refer to the areas that can be fully explored by the cultivators of the Ten Continents. Beyond that, there are too many variables and Elder Hedao cannot determine the danger.

Therefore, all the major sects would set up Tianquetai on the border areas, and elders would take turns to guard it so that if any changes occur, they can notify the sect immediately.

Most of the variables in the no-man's land are born with inheritance and creation. Many of the ancient Taoist books in the Jackdaw Cult were obtained from the no-man's land.

A few days later, Ye Zang's spiritual sense sensed quite a few cultivators.

Far away, he could no longer see the mountains, rivers, and swamps. Instead, there was a chaotic and hazy area, obscured by the ethereal and vague aura of divine consciousness, which was impossible to penetrate. That was the uninhabited restricted area of ​​the original place. Because of the numerous restrictions, it was extremely difficult to cleanse, resulting in the accumulation of restrictions over the years, making it increasingly dangerous.

And tens of thousands of miles away from the border of the no-man's land, one Tianquetai after another stands like the Great Wall. They are connected with each other, and with the tremendous power of spiritual consciousness, they construct an invisible wall that rises to the sky. The restrictions of the no-man's land cannot be extended to the outside.

Ye Zang glanced around casually and found that the thirty-two Tianque Terraces were the most majestic and tallest. They were all built by the major sects of the ten continents. There were also some small Tianque Terraces, but they were not very useful.

Each Tianque Terrace looks similar, with four corners guarding it. The top of the Tianque Terrace is roughly five thousand feet wide and ten thousand feet high. The divine consciousness has evolved into spiritual chains that fly in the sky, imprisoning the space in all directions, making the sky there look as if it is still, which is very strange.

In the past, Tianque Terrace was very deserted, with almost no people there. Only the elders of various sects were in seclusion guarding the Tianque Terrace.

And now, quite a few people have come here, obviously something has happened.

There are many young faces, as well as elders who have reached the first and second levels of the Hedao realm. As for the cultivators who have reached the third level of the Hedao realm, Taixu Soul, they basically will not go anywhere else and will only stay in the Soul Realm.

In the world of spirits and souls, there are branches of various sects established. With magical treasures at their disposal, they never leave the world of spirits and souls. Moreover, the monument of unity with the Tao in the world of spirits and souls is of great benefit to their practice.

There were whispers coming from those Tianque platforms. "There's unrest in the no-man's land. Did a Taoist break in?"

"Who is so bold?"

"I don't know. Those who are so reckless are basically disciples who have just entered the Hedao sect. If something unexpected happens, it will be a big disaster."

"Maybe it's some kind of ruins of good fortune, or the Dao-harmony method of an ancient immortal."

"This is the beginning of the world. Don't even think about the wonderful way of combining the Dao here."

While everyone was talking, they were also looking around.

Because there were many new faces, some of them were well-known geniuses in the outside world.

For example, from west to east, on the third Tianque Terrace, Tan Tai Jing, wearing a blue Taoist robe, has a beautiful face and an ethereal appearance. She is talking with the elders of Dayan Tiangong.

"That must be Tan Tai Jing, right? I've heard of this girl a long time ago. She has indeed achieved the unity of man and nature." Elders from other sects were watching.

"This woman is extremely talented and will most likely become the future ruler of the Heavenly Palace."

"Let's put that aside for now. Why are you all here watching? Doesn't anyone have an idea?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Someone is going to set up a Tianque Terrace here today. It won't be too late to go to the no-man's land and take a look after this big event."

"Oh? What ancient religion is about to be born?"

Someone commented.

In recent years, many secret sects have emerged in the Ten Continents, such as Wuliangjian in Tianming Continent, Xuantian Sect in Beihuang, and the three ancient sects in Zhongzhou. They have all revealed their true colors. They want to participate in the world's development and share a share of the opportunities and fortunes.

"Look, it's here."

Many disciples and elders were discussing when suddenly from the east, a huge spiritual force surged in, shaking the sky and making a buzzing sound.

The sky was dyed green, and the power of the divine consciousness was simply terrifying, pressing down like an inverted sea. Although it was only the realm of 'the first level of Hedao, the unity of man and nature', the mighty power of a single round of divine consciousness was stronger than some elders who had advanced to Hedao for many years. Such potential was truly terrifying.

Ye Zang also looked over and saw a Taoist with a familiar face riding a green lotus.

That was Bai Yujing. He put one hand behind his back, his expression calm and composed. He stepped on the green lotus evolved from his spiritual consciousness and walked towards the border step by step like a banished immortal.

"Bai Yujing from the Butian Sect!"

"It turns out that he has already achieved the unity of heaven and man. No wonder he did not appear in Ziwei Yuanjun's secret collection of the unity of heaven and man."

“This man is so powerful, how could he be defeated by Ye Zang back then? I don’t understand.” Sikong Ying of the Ghost Spirit Sect was also here, looking at Bai Yujing with gloomy eyes.

"There must be some secret in this. It is probably that the ten major sects of Tianming Continent made things difficult for Bai Yujing, causing him to lose his position as the leader."

Some elders from Tianmingzhou listened and sneered.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how Baiyujing was defeated.

"If you want to know, why don't you go ask Bai Yujing yourself?"

Above the sky, Bai Yujing took the green lotus step by step and slowly descended from the air. When he was halfway there, his eyes suddenly moved and he looked in the direction of Ye Zang.

It is thousands of miles away, but to the Hedao practitioners, it seems to be very close.

"Master Ye, since you are here, why don't you show up?" Bai Yujing smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many disciples and elders changed, and the whole place was like an uproar!
They immediately activated their spiritual sense and explored in all directions. Some Hedao elders had already seen Ye Zang who was hiding. The latter had not yet cultivated the Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye, so some Hedao monks with strong spiritual sense could still find him easily.

"Ye Kuishou? But he is Ye Zang from the Jackdaw Cult!"

"Several years ago, he came to the Great Illusionary Realm through the Hedao Spiritual Path. Now he is not in seclusion. Could it be that he has achieved the unity of heaven and man?"

"Friend Ye, now that you are here, please go up to the Tianque Terrace." Elders from other sects said with narrowed eyes.

"Junior Brother Ye, are you here?"

On the Tianque stage of the Jackdaw Cult, Ji Beilin's eyebrows twitched, and he spoke thoughtfully. His spiritual consciousness mixed with words spread in all directions.

In the distance, Ye Zang took a deep breath and flew towards the Tianquetai of the Jackdaw Cult calmly.

There, there were only Ji Beilin and an elder from the Twenty-Four Families.

"Ye Zang, nice to meet you, senior brother." Ye Zang bowed and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Ji Beilin's eyes sparkled as he looked him up and down with a smile on his face. He quickly and enthusiastically grabbed Ye Zang's arm and led him to sit down in front of the desk, where there was a piece of spiritual tea that could nourish the spiritual consciousness.

Ji Beilin introduced: "This is Elder Yu, the man who guards the Tianque Terrace of our Divine Religion."

Elder Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled and bowed, saying, "I am Yushe, and I am honored to meet Elder Ye."

"Senior, I can't do that. Ye Zang is so frightened." Ye Zang waved his sleeves and quickly returned the greeting.

Although this Elder Yu is not a Tiangang Elder, he has also reached the second level of Hedao cultivation and has stayed in the Taixu Illusion Realm for such a long time.

Generally, the elders who were stationed to guard Tianque Terrace were those with poor talents, no hope of entering the Dao Terrace, and not many years left to live. Ye Zang looked at him and found that his primordial spirit was like a dead pine tree, with vitality gradually fading away. It was estimated that he would not have a lifespan of several hundred years.

"It is great that my junior brother has entered the realm of Hedao cultivation. The future of our Divine Sect is promising. We will surely be able to gain a foothold in the great world to come!" Ji Beilin patted Ye Zang on the shoulder and said with a big laugh.

Apart from anything else, this Senior Brother Ji does have the aura of a headmaster, he is extremely talented, and has very good relations with many aristocratic families.

As he was speaking, two beams of light came from outside the Tianque Stage.

It was Bai Yujing and Tan Taijing who controlled their spiritual consciousness and landed steadily on the Tianque Platform of the Jackdaw Sect.

Ye Zang glanced at them and saw that these two people had already achieved unity of nature and man, and their spiritual power was unfathomable and extremely powerful. Compared with Ye Zang, they were neither too much nor too little.

You know, these two have also cultivated the Twelve-Level Lotus Seat and the Ultimate Nascent Soul. Their talents and foundations are not inferior to Ye Zang at all.
