Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 644 Original
Looking south, there are Wanshou Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple.

White clouds gather over the clear valley, and peaks stand in the distant sky.

It looks like a rugged stone gate, with smoke from the incense burner filling the air.

The palaces are red and blue, and the steps and pavilions are steep and overhanging.

Good people also live here, and kind people detach themselves from worldly ties.

The Tao is wonderful and can be obtained through hard work, and it is impartial in its dealings.

The hearts should be the same, and the traces should not be entangled.

"The Tao is invisible, nameless, soundless, colorless and tasteless. It is indifferent and takes nothingness as its principle. It lives naturally and takes the pure and subtle Qi as its basis. It has the power of infinity, without outside or inside, without up or down, without front or back...

"Stillness is one, born before heaven and earth. Its essence is wonderful, far-reaching and pervasive, and cannot be named, so it is called Tao. When combined, it is the primordial energy, and when dispersed, it is heaven and earth. It is combined once every 360 billion years, and the number is limited to 3579, which is the life of heaven and earth..."

All you hear in the temple is the preaching of the Tao, causing flowers to fall from the sky and golden lotus to emerge from the ground.

The Taoist is above, slowly shaking his whisk to spray pearls and jade, the sound of which shakes the nine heavens like thunder.

All the practitioners below skillfully demonstrate the Three Vehicles to tame the horse of mind, and to control the monkey mind in all subtle ways.

Some were smiling, some were scratching their ears, some were overjoyed, and some were heartbroken.

Crazy, intoxicated, crazy.

At this moment, the voice of preaching suddenly stopped.

The skylight dissipated, the golden lotus disappeared, and everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking up with a sense of loss.

On the high platform, the Taoist frowned and said nothing.

The other cultivators were puzzled and surprised at what they saw, and those who were close to him even asked questions aloud.

"Tao Master?"

"Brother?"

"Great Immortal?"

As the crowd began to ask questions, they saw Daojun shaking his head and sighing: "It's fate, it's fate!"

After saying this, he swept his whisk and looked at everyone: "The Heavenly Palace is in trouble, the demons are in chaos and evil, I will go to Dongzhou to provide assistance, you all stay here to practice meditation, don't lose your composure."

"This……"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other in shock and confusion.

However, before he could utter a cry of surprise or ask any questions, he saw auspicious clouds rising up and turning into a rainbow and disappearing.

Everyone was left at a loss, confused and uncertain.

"Heaven is in trouble?"

"What kind of calamity can be added to the heaven?"

"Now is the time when the Tongtian Secret Realm is open and all the immortals and Buddhas are recuperating. The Four Supreme Emperors are all in the courtyard. Which demon dares to go there and cause trouble?"

"It has alarmed my eldest brother. Could it be that the demon country, Mo Yuan, is desperate and is mobilizing the entire clan to attack the Heavenly Palace?"

"No, even if they are desperate, they should send troops to the south to fight with the Taoist master. Why would they attack the Heaven Palace by force?"

"The Great Immortal has passed through seven levels of immortal tribulation and has now reached the eighth level. He is only one step away from achieving true immortality. If he takes action now, the cause and effect will be aggravated. I'm afraid it will be bad!"

"With the ability of a great immortal, this karmic disaster is not a cause for concern. However, this demonic disaster happened suddenly, and happened in the land of heaven, so I'm afraid there must be something behind it."

The practitioners talked for a while and were filled with worry.

The Tongtian Secret Realm opens once every ten thousand years, with a gap of thousands of years.

Now is the time of this thousand-year gap, and there are still three hundred years before the secret realm is closed again.

Before that, the Lord of All Daos returned from the secret realm. Relying on the accumulation of ten thousand years of hard practice, he passed through seven levels of immortal calamity in seven hundred years, which caused a sensation in the earth and shocked the demons. He had already become "the number one in the immortal world, unparalleled in the limelight", catching up with the Emperor Tai Tianzun of that year.

However, everyone knows that beneath such glory, there are not only dangers, but also many hidden dangers.

Although he is known as the number one person in the fairy world, he is still just a Jiexian after all. There is still one last level of heaven barrier that he has not broken through. The Demon Country Mo Yuan is even more unwilling to be controlled by him and may do something desperate at any time.

At this critical moment, the Heavenly Palace is in trouble. How can we not make more associations?
"It's all because of our lack of cultivation that we can't help brother solve his problems!"

"The road to immortality is difficult, the road to immortality is difficult, how many people have ever returned from ancient times to today?"

“Those two great wise and virtuous beings practiced Buddhism for 100,000 years and also took advantage of the Southern Region’s luck and had achievements in teaching and enlightenment. Yet, before the Nine-fold Immortal Tribulation, one of them died and the other was injured. This shows how difficult the path to Immortality is!”

“I heard that the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, with the help of the Dao Master, also reached the final stage of the Eight Tribulations. I wonder if he can break through safely?”

"The Immortal is going to heaven..."

Everyone was talking, still worried.

At this moment, a ray of fairy light flew over and quickly fell in front of the temple.

Fairy light fell, revealing a stunning figure, who was the master of Yao Chi Palace.

Without waiting for the gatekeeper to report, Yao Ji rushed in, came to the front of the crowd, and looked around: "Where is the emperor?"

"Yaochi Palace Master?"

The cultivators were startled and hurried forward.

"Brother just rushed to heaven!"

"What brings you here, Palace Master?"

"What happened in Heaven?"

After hearing what everyone said, Yao Ji was relieved and quickly replied: "There is a change in the Heavenly Palace, and there are evil demons causing chaos. My brother asked me to come here and ask the Emperor to help suppress the demons. Since the Emperor has already left, it is inconvenient for me to stay for long. Goodbye!"

After saying this, he left the temple in a hurry without caring about the reactions of the crowd.

"This……"

Seeing the Yao Chi Palace Master coming and going in a hurry, everyone looked at each other in confusion, even more shocked and confused.

At the same time, in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Jiutian Fairyland.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the heaven and earth shook, the palace in the sky shook, and the sun, moon and stars swayed.

In front of the Thai Royal Palace, all the immortals retreated, leaving only four tall and majestic figures, each holding a heavy weapon to suppress the evil flow.

It is the Emperor of the Four Poles and Four Assistants!

The Six Emperors and Four Assistants, the Nine Tribulations True Immortals, their strength needs no explanation. Although they cannot be compared with the supreme powerful ones like the Sun Tathagata, the Demon King and the Demon Lord, they are not much different. Each of them holds a heavy weapon in his hand, all of which are ninth-level immortal treasures.

Now the four emperors have joined forces, and all their powerful weapons have been mobilized to form a four-way formation to seal off demons and suppress evil. Even if the Demon King or the Demon Lord comes in person, they will have to retreat.

But this demon in the palace...

"what!!!"

There was a roar that shook the earth, and there was also the sound of chains rattling.

Under the Four Directions Extreme Formation, the Demon Shadow was trapped deep in the Thai Royal Palace, but there was still an undercurrent surging, devouring the fairy light of the four formations to strengthen itself, in order to resist the suppression of the Four Emperors, forming a stalemate that lasted for a long time.

It can’t be broken!
I can’t suppress it!
Seeing this scene, all the immortals frowned and some even expressed their doubts and guesses.

"This evil demon..."

"What is its origin?"

"Why did you appear in the Thai royal palace?"

"Four emperors took action, but they still couldn't suppress him?"

"His demonic energy is extraordinary, and seems to be able to devour the emperor's immortal power!"

"The four emperors are Nine Tribulations True Immortals, who are well versed in Taoism and are extremely skilled. They can use every bit of their immortal power at will. What method did the evil demon use to devour the immortal power of the four emperors?"

"Could it be..."

Those who can achieve immortality are not mediocre people. They can see the clues and guess the hidden story behind it.

But it was just speculation in their hearts. The implications behind this were too huge, and the immortals did not dare to talk nonsense. They could only wait and see nervously, waiting for the battle to be settled.

"Tai Yi Jing, Zi Wei Jue, Shen Xiao Yu Qing, without beginning and without end!"

"Hahahaha!" In the Thai Royal Palace, the devil's voice was roaring, and it seemed that words were flowing out, which made people's hearts even more excited.

"Humph!"

"evil creature!"

"Why don't you just give in?"

However, the Four Emperors were not moved at all, instead they increased their immortal power. The four heavy weapons glowed brightly, and the power of the ninth-rank immortal treasures was pushed to the limit, in an attempt to forcibly suppress the evil demon.

But don't want to...

"Hahaha!"

With a wild laugh, the demonic current surged, swallowing up the emperor's immortal light and breaking the four-pole formation.

The demon shadow inside also grew rapidly in size and rushed out from the top of the Thai Royal Palace again. The nine chain shadows around his body struggled, and he broke three of them in an instant.

"not good!"

The four emperors' faces changed, and they wanted to counterattack, but it was too late. The demon shadow struggled angrily and broke three chains. Most of its body rose above the roof of the Thai Royal Palace, causing dark clouds to gather and demonic currents to surge. The Nine Heavens Fairy Court turned into the Senluo Demon Realm.

The four emperors added their immortal-destroying power and formed a four-pole formation, but they were still unable to stop it. The ferocious demon shadow struggled again, and the last three chain phantoms also shattered.

"Hahaha!"

"Who can stop me? Who can stop me?"

The chains were broken, the restraints were gone, the demon shadow became even more arrogant, and rushed out of the Thai king's palace and was about to fly away.

At this moment...

"boom!!!"

A sword light came shining brightly, and swords appeared in the glow, ten, a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand feet long.

It turned out to be a golden ancient sword. On both sides of the simple sword body, there were the sun, moon and stars on one side, grass and mountains and rivers on the other side. There was a book on the art of farming on one side, and a book on the strategies of the world on the other. It was brilliant and majestic, and it was definitely the best holy weapon in ancient and modern times.

"Jiuyi Xuanyuan!?"

"How could it be!"

The holy sword came across the sky, slashing across it. The first to react was not the immortals in heaven, but the eerie demonic figure.

The demon screamed and made a loud noise, then raised his arms to protect himself in fear and anger.

"boom!!!"

However, it was still impossible to stop it. The Xuanyuan Holy Sword slashed across the sky, breaking the surging demonic flow. The demon shadow's arms were broken and its chest was split open.

The demon shadow was ripped open by the Xuanyuan Holy Sword and had no power to resist anymore. It was blasted into the Thai Royal Palace. The endless undercurrents quickly evaporated under the light of the holy sword, and only a mess was left.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, the immortals were even more stunned and didn't know what to do.

Only a figure was seen descending, landing in front of the Thai Royal Palace, and taking away the glow of the holy sword.

"Emperor Wandao!"

When the immortals saw this, they were awakened. The Jade Emperor hurried forward and the Four Emperors also turned around.

"Trouble you, fellow Daoist!"

"Thank you, Emperor, for suppressing this evil!"

The Jade Emperor rushed to the palace and the Four Emperors also descended.

Xu Yang looked at the messy Thai Palace, turned to the Jade Emperor and the Four Emperors and bowed: "I am sorry that I am late and frightened the Heavenly Lord!"

"What are you talking about, Emperor?"

The Jade Emperor shook his head and glanced at the immortals, who were all in doubt and questioning. He immediately waved his sleeves and said, "Thanks to the great magic of the Wandao Lord and the Four Auxiliary Emperors, the disaster has been eliminated. Everyone, return to your duties and do not let the scoundrels cause trouble."

After hearing these words, the immortals looked at each other in bewilderment, but it was not right for them to ask more questions, so they just bowed and responded.

"Yes!!!"

After saying this, they all retreated, leaving only Liu Yu in front of the Thai Royal Palace.

The immortals left, and the Jade Emperor turned around, facing Xu Yang and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for the Emperor, I really don't know how today's incident would have ended."

"Your Excellency is too kind!"

Xu Yang shook his head, turned his gaze, and looked at the messy Thai Royal Palace: "What is the reason for this?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor fell silent. The Four Emperors also remained silent. The atmosphere was inexplicably depressing.

Finally, the Emperor of the East and the Emperor of the North turned their gazes and looked at the Jade Emperor as if giving him instructions.

Obviously, both the Jade Emperor and the Four Emperors knew the hidden secret and even the origin of the evil shadow.

Facing the eye signals from the two emperors, the Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind. He invited Xu Yang to his hand and said, "This is a long story. Please come in and have a chat."

Hearing this, Xu Yang said nothing more and nodded directly, "Please!"

After saying that, he followed the Jade Emperor and the Four Emperors and stepped into the Thai Royal Palace.

As the former first palace in heaven, the Thai Royal Palace was a magnificent building with extreme luxury inside. Even though it had just gone through a great war and was impacted by the demon shadow and the flames of war between the four emperors, it was only a mess and had not been completely reduced to ruins.

The Jade Emperor led the way in front, and the five people followed behind, passing through the magnificent front hall of the Golden Throne, and came to the back garden. They continued walking forward and finally arrived at a secret place.

That is... a tall tower, a towering one, as tall as a mountain thousands of feet high!

There is such a tower in the Thai royal palace. Needless to say, it must have been built with the method of making the size as desired.

The towering tower is here, and there are nine iron chains sunk into the tower. Below the tower is filled with clouds and mist, and fairy light is spewing out. Above it are the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, and above it can be seen the Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and the black and white fish rotating.

However, at this moment, the tower body was broken, revealing shocking marks, and an undercurrent surged out, attached to nine iron chains, and sank into the tower, with no idea where it would connect.

Above it is Tai Chi Yin and Yang, below it is the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, both nine-level immortal formations have loopholes, Yin and Yang are difficult to reverse, and the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams do not rotate.

"Yin Yang Array!"

"Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation!"

"There is also the Xuanhuang Pagoda formed by the nine Demon-Suppressing Immortal Locks and the Xuanhuang Qi..."

Xu Yang turned his gaze and looked at the Jade Emperor and the Four Supreme Emperors: "Could this be...?"

"It's my father!"

The Jade Emperor responded with a bitter look on his face, and the Four Emperors beside him also sighed.
"..."

After hearing this, Xu Yang also fell silent.

Although this was expected, the result is still hard to accept.

The Lord of Heaven, Emperor Tai, is the number one person in the fairy world and the first Nine Tribulations True Immortal to attain enlightenment since ancient times. His strength is unrivaled among all the immortals, demons, Buddhas, devils, dragons, phoenixes, gods, and ghosts. He once dominated the world and even had the potential to unify the fairy world.

How could such a person fall into the path of evil?
Although it had been speculated long ago, this reality is still hard to accept, and there are countless doubts and confusions in people's hearts.

Why would the dignified Heavenly Lord, the most powerful person in the fairy world, fall into the path of evil?
Was it voluntary or misguided?
Judging from this tall tower, it should be the latter.

If he had done it voluntarily and fell from immortal to devil, then why would he arrange himself like this to seal himself? These nine immortal chains and the Xuanhuang Pagoda, as well as the yin and yang and the nine palaces and eight trigrams that match each other, are obviously the work of an extremely powerful person.

According to legend, this Taihuang Tianzun is one of the few ninth-rank immortal formation masters in the world of earthly immortals, and his attainments in formation are even higher than those of Vairocana Buddha of Buddhism and the demon masters of the demon country.

Therefore, this arrangement must be his work, and he was the one who sealed himself in this place.

From this we can know that he did not become a demon voluntarily, but was secretly harmed and fell into the devil's calamity. He had to seal himself here to avoid causing chaos and poisoning the world.

So here comes the problem.

Who could secretly harm the most powerful person in the fairy world, the Lord of Heaven who was almost an earthly immortal?
What kind of demon could be so powerful that the King of Thailand, who is almost an earthly immortal, is helpless and cannot even find a way to break through the Tongtian Secret Realm. He can only seal himself in this Thai Royal Palace.

There are so many doubts, and it’s terrifying to think about it carefully!
Xu Yang didn't say much, just looked at the Jade Emperor: "What's the reason?"

"It's a long story!"

The Jade Emperor shook his head and asked solemnly, "Have you ever heard of... Yuanshi Tianmo?"
