"The Sanskrit scriptures say that the phoenix is ​​the master of the 'winged fire,' which occupies the proper position of the fire element, presiding over the balance of water and fire, and the wind's assistance in fueling the fire... Of its five offspring, the swan and the phoenix occupy the water position, the roc the wind position, the blue luan the fire position, and the silver crow the moon position. Therefore, it is said—'The blue luan obtains purity, and the silver crow obtains impurity!'"

Fang Qing silently recited these words, and now he finally understood some of their true meaning.

Why specifically mention the Azure Phoenix and the Silver Crow? Because both of them are a kind of backup plan for the recurrence of the "Yearly Duty"!

"When a phoenix encounters pollution, it reproduces to expel some of the pollution and maintain its stability..."

"And Dapeng, whose position in the Xunfeng (wind element) is missing, is the only surviving offspring to this day."

"The swan, residing in the main position of [Wall Water], has already been killed by the phoenix..."

"The phoenix, residing in the position of the [Zhen Water], was killed by the lord of the [Wei Moon]..."

"The Silver Crow resides in [Bi Yue], but its position is unclear. After all, this Great Sage was once reincarnated as a Hu people's chieftain and left behind the achievement of 'swallowing gold and devouring fire'... Could it be that it ascended to the wrong position at the beginning and was reincarnated to prove itself again? Or is it brewing some kind of conspiracy? The Great Sage Bi Yue Crow was suspected of being killed by the Phoenix, but it is also possible that it was not... Furthermore, Taiyin should also have a [Yearly Duty], so the state of Bi Yue Crow is really hard to say."

"The Azure Phoenix was missing the [Beak Fire] position and was killed by the Phoenix, which then devoured it... From then on, it could control this position, so it must be at least a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator? Perhaps it wasn't devoured, but rather its body was killed and its position taken... just like the one on the [Kui Wood]."

Fang Qing thought of the story of the Great Sage Qingluan told by the Sky Sparrow Tara, which was obviously embellished and concealed to some extent.

Even Kong Que didn't know that the Great Sage Qingluan was actually proving the absence of the [Beak Fire]!

"The Phoenix...is it aiming to be the [Year's Bearer]? And it's following the orthodox path...aren't you afraid it will end up being possessed by that Fire-element [Year's Bearer]?"

Fang Qing, who had read the second volume of the "Tai Su Jin Shu", murmured to himself.

He then thought of the Suwu Demon King, who had previously failed to prove the power of the gold standard, and made another connection: "Phoenix... no, the one on Luofeng Mountain clearly doesn't want the demon race to prove [Bi Yue] again... Is this a preparation to sever ties with the Tai Tong? Or is it to prevent the resurgence of Taiyin [Zhi Sui]?"

"This... altered the relationship between the demon race and the Women's Kingdom, foreshadowing its eventual destruction?"

"Since the Lord of Falling Phoenix Mountain is unwilling to see the [Bi Yue] Golden Core appear, it means there's a serious problem with this Golden Position! My previous decision not to cultivate [Bi Yue] was correct..."

"As for the Demon King Suwu? If he doesn't seek gold, he can live a carefree life. But if he does seek gold, even if he kneels for another ten years, he will only end up dying and disappearing from the world..."

This is the way of submission!

When you choose the wrong path, your fate is already sealed!

Fang Qing silently pondered, but actually still leaned towards the conclusion that Bi Yuewu was killed by the Great Sage Yu Zhuo.

Bi Yuewu's involvement in the Lord of Wei Yue's schemes against Taiyin led to his counterattack, resulting in the downfall of the Great Sage Yu Zhuo...

"But doubts remain... The Great Sage Bi Yuewu is no ordinary being. Not only does he hold the position of Grand Master, but he also has great achievements... He even seems to carry the unique Taiyin [Yearly Ruler] pollution of the demon race, and could serve as a vessel for the [Taiyin] Yearly Ruler's revival... How could such a powerful being be killed by the Water Virtue Official? Unless... someone helped? Was it the Phoenix? But if the Phoenix intervened, it should have broken ties with the Lord of [Dangerous Moon] back in ancient times... Could it be that he also possesses hidden power? Hiding many things, and then completely exposing them when the secret monks crossed the sea to the east?"

After all, the sun is the most visible thing in the world, and under its radiance, it specifically overcomes the hidden nature of the moon!

However, the timing chosen by "Mahavairocana Buddha" was also somewhat subtle.

"Alas... Such ancient secrets and entanglements with ancient powerful beings... are still too advanced for me now."

"I'll focus on improving my own strength first... The [Ji Shui] supernatural power is rare, so I'll begin body tempering!"

……

a few days later.

Inside Wusheng Temple.

Fang Qing sat cross-legged, gazing at the three Tara figures before him, and sighed, "Your cultivation is insufficient; you can no longer assist me in refining my body..."

Moonlight White and the Empty Sparrow Tara were speechless.

The Black Tara, who had been reincarnated, was now only in her early twenties. Upon hearing this, she blushed, somewhat ashamed: "It is because our cultivation is insufficient, but it is also because your Vajra Power and Brahma Dharma are profound... Could it be that you have already attained the Purple Palace?"

Within the esoteric Buddhist system, gurus and Dharma kings are considered superior beings.

Mingzi, Mingfei, Duzi, and Dumu are merely slaves of a slightly higher level.

However, these disciples can also cultivate and prove their own Dao Foundation and Purple Mansion...

It is difficult after all, and if one has such talent, why did one become a Mingzi in the first place?

However, there are occasional exceptions, and some even become great figures through self-education.

If a person achieves such a high level of attainment through cultivation, they can be named "Ming Wang" (明王).

If Mingfei cultivates to this level, she will become a "Dakini"!

Compared to the Buddha's sons and mothers, the 'Vidyarajas' and 'Dakinis' are ultimately superior, not only in terms of magical powers and supernatural abilities, but also in that they possess their own unique qualities!

"Exactly..."

Fang Qing smiled slightly, not denying it.

After all, it was already a settled fact that Vajra Power Master was the most powerful person under Sangji.

Now that Sangjidu is in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, the Vajra Power Stone naturally needs to be upgraded.

"That's how it should be..."

The Black Tara, who subdues demons, said: "Our magical power is insufficient for cultivation. My disciple, you may go to the Great Snow Mountain in the Secret Realm to practice asceticism, prostrating yourself with every step, and enter the Great Sun Wheel Monastery to observe the images of various dakinis... If you pray sincerely, you may see various manifestations of dakinis in your dreams or in meditation, and then practice the dual cultivation of emptiness and nature... and thus attain enlightenment!"

"Seeking the Dakinis to refine my body? That's possible... but I'm afraid they'll eat me, literally..."

Fang Qing inwardly scoffed, but outwardly smiled and said, "The Great Snow Mountain is a sacred place of our sect, and naturally we will go there one day. I, the disciple, have witnessed it through the Wheel of Time, but not now, but in the future..."

He suspected that the "Mahavairocana Buddha" had shown goodwill towards his family, but he couldn't be sure.

Moreover, even if cooperation is to be pursued, one must first have a certain level of strength.

Before seeking the gold, he never considered going to that supreme, primordial temple to meet the "Mahavairocana Buddha"...

"However... if the Great Sun Tathagata were to issue a decree ordering several Dakinis to assist me in refining my body, then the 'Acala Vidyaraja's Light Stage' could truly be completed in an instant, instantly reaching the fifth level of body refinement..."

Fang Qing's mind raced with unrealistic thoughts, then he suddenly laughed and said, "I've seen stories about phoenixes in Buddhist scriptures, but using them as a general term is rather inappropriate. That creature has many titles; I wonder how it's referred to among the eight classes of demons?"

Kongque Tara immediately replied, "Among my demon race, we call Golden Core True Monarchs 'Great Sage'... The Lord of Falling Phoenix Mountain is different after all, so we can respectfully call her 'Empress'. If we want to be more specific, she is either 'Crimson Bright Fire Heaven-Supporting Empress' or 'Blazing Feather Heaven-Dissolving Great Sage'..."

When she uttered the honored name, she had already formed a hand seal, activating a secret technique. There was a separation in between, so it would not directly trigger cause and effect.

But Fang Qing still inexplicably sensed a surge of wind and fire in the void, a crimson expanse...

"And what about the Lord of [Dangerous Moon]?"

He then asked, after all, the Bluebird Tribe had a good relationship with the Women's Kingdom, and had even invited the Great Master Yaoyue to help them back then.

When this position was mentioned, the expression of the goddess Kong Que became more solemn.

Beside her, the White Tara of Moonlight clasped her hands together, and a ray of moonlight fell upon her.

"That one who resides in the Moon Palace, whose title is 'Condensed Embryo,' and who possesses the ability to 'create life,' is the supreme ruler of the Primordial Sovereign..."

Kongque Tara answered with a somewhat blank look in her eyes.

"The Moon Palace gave birth to the Primordial Sovereign? That's quite similar to the Great Sun Dragon and Phoenix Primordial Sovereign of Fuyu... Oh, and these two even have a child together. What a mess..."

Fang Qing mentally complained, then his pupils suddenly narrowed.

The *Tai Su Jin Shu* contains numerous techniques for seeking a ruler who is both subservient and capable of annexing others, including methods such as "abdication," "usurpation," "acquisition," and "concealment," as well as techniques like "borrowing" and "subjection."

In short, it's about controlling and influencing that gold position to a certain extent...

"Does having a child with a True Lord who has attained a high position count?"

Although the *Tai Su Jin Shu* argues that annexing other lineages is a path to death, it doesn't necessarily mean death will occur at the second metal position; it might happen at the third or even fourth...

……

Qi Refining Channel.

Seven Star Island.

A palace suddenly appeared in the sky.

The palace is entirely bright yellow, decorated with vermilion, and its pavilions, towers, carved beams, and painted pillars are covered with various colored runes.

It was none other than the Void Treasure of Talisman Sword Island—the 'Heavenly Talisman Palace'!

This palace contains thirteen Void Divine Talismans, which have the power to suppress the Great Void.

At this moment, it descended, and countless phoenix-script characters seemed to swim like tadpoles in the vast void.

Whether it's Nascent Soul teleportation or teleportation arrays, they all lose their effectiveness.

It is likely that only a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can barely traverse the void.

Outside the island, warships with shimmering spirit patterns had surrounded Seven Star Island without anyone noticing.

Countless cultivators flew through the air on their swords, like locusts.

At the very front were several Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Heavenly Mystery Elder and Dongmen Jin.

"Seven Star Island is a key location connecting Leiyin Temple and Shuiyue Palace, and it is also equipped with a long-distance teleportation array..."

Dongmen Jin smiled and said, "It's thanks to Fujian Island lending out this 'Heavenly Talisman Palace' that we were able to carry out the blockade unexpectedly... Otherwise, if those two major powers had provided support, it would have been quite troublesome."

"I do hope that the Water Moon Palace and Thunder Sound Temple will provide direct support... Ideally, the Holy Monk, the Second Palace Master, and the Third Palace Master would come in person..."

Master Tianfu sighed and said to Master Tianjian beside him, "The sect-protecting formations of those two major forces are both top-grade fourth-rank formations, approaching fifth-rank power... If we were to forcibly break through them, I wonder how many cultivators would die..."

Master Tianjian, clutching an ancient sword, said with a resolute expression, "If I were Master Shengjue, I would not support Seven Star Island either. This place is nothing more than a discarded pawn..."

hoohoo!

As they spoke, one after another, enormous beasts, clad in heavy armor and resembling rhinoceroses, carried the Beast Taming Sect cultivators to the edge of the Seven Star Island formation. Bolts of lightning, like chains, struck the beasts' armor, leaving deep marks.

The cultivators riding the giant beasts hurriedly formed hand seals and unleashed a barrage of wind blades and flames towards the core of the great formation...

High above, puppet birds flapped their wings, unleashing endless hail and blizzards...
