Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 369 All things are born

"Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!

He accepted the explanation.

Xituo County, inside the secret place of Baigu Temple.

Fang Qing sat cross-legged, toying with the mirror in his hand.

Where the mirror's light shines, volumes of ancient books emerge.

It includes not only the Purple Mansion Techniques, but also corresponding Taoist arts, Taoist scriptures, and even Qi cultivation techniques and foundational Taoist techniques... The quantity far exceeds the content of the Purple Mansion.

In addition to these, there are many other miscellaneous disciplines such as formations, weapon crafting, talisman making, and alchemy...

This is truly the foundation of a Golden Core Immortal Sect!

If one gains the power, it's impossible to create another Golden Core Immortal Sect, but there's still a good chance of creating a Purple Mansion Immortal Sect.

"That Master Leshan is quite the cunning old fox. If he hadn't protected his surviving disciples, he wouldn't have obtained this batch of Daoist scriptures, would he?"

Fang Qing muttered a complaint, but considering the other party was already dead, she decided not to hold it against him.

In fact, he is still somewhat surprised. He originally thought that the one who destroyed the Canghai Sect might be the Jiaogong Demon King or the Wuyue Sword Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a completely unrelated person, the Great Master Yaoyue, who was constantly being hunted down!

"However, there are indeed some clues behind this... I witnessed it when I went south with the Azure Bird Tribe. [Dangerous Moon] is extremely effective against [Zhen Water]... The True Lords representing these two lineages probably have some grudges... The loser was [Zhen Water], but the trouble has continued to this day, which is truly unbelievable..."

Fang Qing casually picked up the basic cultivation technique and found it to be called "Like the Black Tomb of Leshui Temple". The cultivation foundation "Overturning Rain" is a [Jishui] Dao foundation, somewhat similar to "Long-lasting Rain", but quite different. It can be considered an innovation of Canghai Sect on the [Jishui] Dao path.

However, at the end, it is written that this foundation has flaws and cannot be refined into supernatural powers, so the three disciples are asked to try consuming different kinds of true qi as an experiment...

Unfortunately, before the results were in, the Canghai Sect was destroyed.

There are many similar experimental cultivation methods within the Canghai Sect, some of which impressed Fang Qing and seemed to have considerable reference value.

What pleased him most were naturally those Purple Mansion Techniques.

The Canghai Sect was once a Golden Core Immortal Sect, and its lineage included the Four Waters. However, the Zhen Water lineage was the most complete, while the others generally had one or two supernatural powers and many more foundational techniques. Some had even deduced to the point of perfect foundational cultivation, only lacking the Purple Mansion True Person who first attempted to break through, which was the Purple Mansion technique!

"Um?"

Fang Qing reached into the mirror and took out a copybook from the mirror, which was inscribed with the "Transformation of Dragons Scripture"!

This was none other than the [Zhenshui] Purple Mansion Dao Technique!

He examined it closely and found that the wording and sentence structure of the sutra were quite archaic, and there was a sense of bloodshed and bewitching between the lines.

"This seems to be... the ancient 'Zhen Shui' method from the Blessed Land of the East Sea?"

Fang Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

Back then, the two Dharma Kings of Sangji only obtained the "Yunhai Yinlin Jing" and "Gongsun Guanyun Yougan" from Master Leshan... Now it seems that Master Leshan had kept something else to himself.

However, this is normal until the sect is wiped out. Even if the sect is wiped out, there are still cultivators who perish while clinging to the Dao.

Fang Qing was quite interested in the [Zhenshui] and read it carefully: "Hmm... this 'Dragon Transformation Scripture' is somewhat similar to the cultivation methods of the demon race. After cultivation, one transforms from a human into a dragon. At the foundation stage, 'scales grow on the ribs, and the body has unusual appearances'... The resulting divine power is called 'Leaping the Dragon Gate'! It is a divine power that transforms one into a dragon and possesses powerful melee combat strength!"

He flipped to the end and found annotations from the Great Master Le Shui, which later generations had also respectfully copied: "His fighting skills and supernatural abilities are unfortunately inconsistent with the traditions of our sect. They should be changed. Instruct your disciple to cultivate and experiment… It is expected to be perfected within a hundred years!"

"Is this supposed to be the fourth divine power of the [Zhen Shui] technique, but does it need modification?"

Fang Qing searched again and found several ancient methods of "Zhenshui", which were also suspected to have been obtained from the blessed land of the East Sea.

After all, that person, who was suspected to be a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, must have a complete path to enlightenment.

But after reading it, I was somewhat disappointed: "Could it be that the Lord of the Eastern Sea Blessed Land is actually a demon? Or at least a half-demon... This cultivation method doesn't seem to be for human cultivation, and two of the manuals are already dead..."

The so-called "absence of Qi" naturally refers to the extremely strict conditions for gathering Qi, making it almost impossible to find the corresponding true Qi, and thus making it difficult to enter the path.

"However, the Qi Refining Path here is uncertain... We can still give it a try, but these traces of the demon race... are probably like [Bi Yue], with some hidden dangers."

Fang Qing put down the book in her hand and sighed softly.

Furthermore, since he primarily cultivates the [Ji Water] lineage, even if he were presented with the complete [Zhen Water] lineage, it would be difficult for him to break through the bottleneck of the Great True Man's three divine abilities and cultivate the fourth divine ability.

He has little confidence in refining supernatural powers, and it is obviously impossible for him to split himself or reincarnate in the future to seek other water-element metal positions.

I'm afraid the only option left is to seek the master's approval and submit to the master's demands, while also accepting the lack of the master's position!

"Unless... during the next tribulation, although we both seek the virtue of water, I specifically seek the cultivation of the [Zhen Water] path?"

"But if I'm so distracted, I'm afraid I'll end up failing on both fronts..."

Fang Qing sighed.

In the more than 8,600 years since ancient times, only two people have successfully obtained gold!

Even the slightest error could mean that the absence of evidence cannot be proven!

Unless you're a true prodigy, don't even think about these things.

He was self-aware in his conduct and actions. Without the cheat system, although he wasn't a complete waste, he would still be just an ordinary person from his previous life. It would be good enough if he could cultivate, let alone attain enlightenment.

……

Xituo County.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Canglin was settled in a house near Wusheng Temple. He tried to enter into meditation and cultivate himself, but his heart could not find peace for a long time. He immediately opened the window and looked at the moon, looking melancholy.

He is a beloved disciple of the Leshan Master.

He and several other Dao Foundation members were known as the "Seven Sons of the Vast Ocean".

Born into a Golden Core Immortal Sect, his future is bright...

But suddenly, the great master of Le Shui, who stood like a pillar of white jade supporting the sky and a beam of purple gold spanning the sea, fell, and half of the sky of the Canghai Sect collapsed!

The master summoned him, gave him detailed instructions, and provided him with a large amount of spiritual resources and scriptures... seemingly regarding him as one of the hidden lineages?

But their own mission is to be deployed to the secret treasure... This is clearly a pawn to be sacrificed!

Who will ultimately inherit the sect's lineage? The third junior brother? Or the youngest junior sister?

"Enough, enough... Now that His Holiness Sangji has allowed me to open the Canghai Gate in Xituo County and re-establish incense offerings for the Patriarch... I only ask for the safe continuation of the lineage; what else is there to ask for? Should I pray to the Purple Palace?"

Cang Lin smiled to himself.

Supernatural powers are hard to come by; it takes thousands of people to cultivate a foundation for one person. Now that he has lost the support of his sect, it is even more difficult. He has already given up.

At this point, all I want is to survive...

Outside the window, the moonlight was hazy, and a dark cloud drifted in from nowhere, with a light drizzle falling.

Splash!

Raindrops pounded on the bluestone slab, turning into a mercury-like luster, the particles rolling and swirling with a silvery aura.

"this……"

Cang Lin's expression changed, and he immediately pulled out a talisman.

This symbol is engraved on a piece of mutton-fat white jade, mainly in indigo, and contains the single character "Sea"!

Its name is "Nine Rivers Returning to the Sea Talisman"! It is a treasure of the Purple Mansion level, bestowed by my master, specifically for the purpose of saving my life.

Splash!

The jade talisman hovered in the air, and a misty river appeared, converging from nine streams to form a vast, illusory blue sea that enveloped the entire Canglin.

At the same time, the raindrops pounded directly on the house and landed on him.

Chi Chi!

Wisps of white smoke appeared, and the original roof instantly became riddled with holes. Even the "Nine Rivers Return to the Sea Talisman" was corroded by a drop of rainwater, creating a huge pit.

"what!"

Cang Lin had originally intended to use magic to defend himself, but when the light of [Zhen Shui] encountered these silvery raindrops, it instantly exploded like boiling oil meeting water, causing him to scream and fall to the ground. His abdomen swelled unnaturally, like a pregnant woman about to give birth...

"By the World Honored One!"

Just then, a Buddhist chant rang in Cang Lin's ears.

Splash!

Endless black soil surged from the earth, forming a tomb that buried him within.

This temporarily sealed him away, and also prevented him from suffering an immediate death.

Sangji emerged from the void, ignoring the mound of earth. Instead, he stared solemnly at the mercury covering the ground and the figure emerging from the void.

Its chest Her hands were as if cradling a baby, and her face radiated maternal warmth.

"Great Master Demon Moon!"

Sangji asked, "Why this sudden attack on our temple? Do you intend to become an enemy of our secret monastery?"

"Young monk... Kumarajiva has good judgment to have reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. He has found a good successor for the Wuxiang Temple of All Beings... But if you continue to resist, I'm afraid Kumarajiva will have to find another successor."

"Master Yaoyue said calmly."

"What kind of hatred is this that you wouldn't even spare a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Since you've already killed True Person Leshan, that should be enough..."

Sangji clasped his hands together, and the white bone relic floated up, transforming into a thin layer of white light that enveloped his entire body.

Behind him, two circles of divine light converged, bringing immense pressure.

Grandmaster Demon Moon merely sneered, "Stubborn fool!"

She still held the baby in her arms, and three divine lights emanated from her body, sensing the Yin energy, as a ray of moonlight fell.

In the moonlight, Yaoyue gently pushed with both hands, as if giving a child.

[Dangerous Moon] Supernatural Power - 'All Things Grow'!

This supernatural power has the effect of healing the physical body, giving birth, and avoiding calamities internally. Externally, it uses the power of fertility to overwhelm enemies, even causing them to "give birth" to their own supernatural powers, thus weakening their strength...

Sangji immediately felt his abdomen swell, and all his blood, flesh, essence, and even supernatural powers were gathering in his lower abdomen.

It seems that not long after, a spirit infant born from the Purple Mansion will be born, and he will permanently lose this supernatural power!

How bizarre!

"So this is the method of Taiyin? Truly brutal!"

Even Fang Qing, who was watching the battle, felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

Fortunately, a supernatural power flashed behind Sangji's head, which was none other than "Washing Away the Dust"!

He abandoned his original body and walked out in a completely new form. Inside the original corpse, there was still a piece of flesh wriggling, but it could not take shape and eventually died in the womb!

"Hmm... Sangji's 'Cleansing Affinity' technique is indeed profound, and with the help of the 'White Bone Relic,' he managed to escape one of Yaoyue's attacks..."

Fang Qing, however, saw it more clearly: 'Without the white bone relic, I'm afraid even the "washing away worldly ties" ritual won't be able to wash away this pregnancy curse... wait, there's more to it?'

Looking at the mass of flesh and blood in Sangji's mangled body, Yaoyue Zhenren's face showed a trace of pity, and she gently raised her hand.

A light drizzle fell from the sky, carrying a strong sense of erosion.

—『Eclipse Rain』!

The rain fell on the flesh and blood, and the facial features faintly emerged, letting out a cry.

This is the resentment and curse caused by the failure of the spirit child to be born!

"He's a true master after all... In a battle of magic, Sangji would be lucky to withstand a few moves."

"If he were still in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, or if he didn't have a Purple Mansion magic weapon with him, he should have been defeated in one move?"

Fang Qing secretly praised, "The Grand Master's suppressive power is indeed extraordinary!"
