Chapter 123 Achieving the Golden Core and the Dao Fruit: Cultivation Relies on Self-Enlightenment!
"Junior Sister Caiyun, you went too far just now!"
After Yuanshi Tianzun left, Yunxiao looked at Caiyun Fairy with a gloomy face and reprimanded her.
"My second senior master is the head of the Xuanmen sect and also the Grand Heavenly Venerable of the Chan sect. His position is extraordinary and comparable to that of our master."
"There are six Heavenly Saints in the primordial world. Today you have offended the ceremonial procession of a Saint, which is an unforgivable crime."
"I understand that this is your first offense, so the Sage has not taken offense. But if you commit another offense, I fear it will tarnish the reputation of our great religion."
Lady Yunxiao spoke sternly, and after she said this, Bixiao once again stood up for Fairy Caiyun.
"Second Uncle-Master, Second Uncle-Master!"
"The three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, and Taoism are one family. Have the Chan School and the Ren School ever truly regarded the Jie School as disciples of the Xuanmen School?"
Bixiao's words revealed the secret of heaven: the sage of Shangqing widely accepted disciples and universally saved people, all for the sake of seizing that sliver of life. This is exactly in line with the Taoist philosophy of saving people.
The path to immortality values life, and its merit lies in self-cultivation!
If you can't even save yourself, how can you save others? Therefore, the first and foremost point of spiritual practice is self-realization!
Now that the Jie Sect has attracted thousands of immortals to pay homage, it seems to be at the height of its fortune, but there are always some unworthy disciples among its members.
Fairy Caiyun is just one of them.
"Your indulgence will surely bring trouble upon yourselves in the future. Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up!"
Lady Yunxiao shook her head. Her two sisters were also flawed in character. She was afraid that they would be too audacious and offend the emperor, which would not end well for them.
On the other side, outside the winding Yellow River formation.
With a thought, the Primordial Celestial Venerable illuminated all the heavens and quickly took in the situation within the formation.
"Cloudy Boy, not bad!"
"This young man has severed his three corpses and possesses a very stable character. He is a rare example of a truly virtuous cultivator. The Jie Sect has produced another promising junior!"
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, but then he looked at the rest of the Jie Sect disciples. These Jie Sect disciples were of mixed quality and had major character flaws.
"Brother Daoist from the Eight Views Palace will arrive soon!"
"Immortals of the Chan Sect, please follow me to greet them."
After Yuanshi Tianzun left the great formation, he led a group of disciples to the outside of the city. A moment later, Taiqing Daoist rode a blue ox with a board horn and brought Xuandu Daoist down to the mortal world.
Xuandu, holding the nose ring of the green ox, led the way, while Taiqing Daode Tianzun sat upright on the ox's back.
"Thank you for coming all this way today, fellow Daoist!"
Yuanshi Tianzun bowed and immediately spoke.
"We had no choice but to come!"
"The Three Immortals of Sanxiao have set up a great formation here, causing all the disciples of the Xuanmen sect to perish. Would you like to go and see?"
The Taoist Taiqing slowly spoke.
"Reporting back to my fellow Daoist!"
"I have already visited the formation, and it confirms what you said, brother. Although I am in charge of the Chan Sect, I still have teachers and elders, so I must first consult with you, brother."
"Only when Brother Dao speaks can it be done."
When Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, he said that the Human Sect only had one Quasi-Saint, Xuandu Daoist, who was not included in the Great Tribulation.
This calamity of the gods is an internal power struggle between the Chan and Jie sects. Letting Taiqing make the decision is suspected of being a way to shift the blame.
"You just need to break this Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!"
"Why did you wait for me to come?"
"You've waited for me here for some other reason than you want me to look after the Twelve Golden Immortals?"
Understanding the implied meaning, the Taoist Taiqing asked again.
"My elder brother understands me best!"
"My twelve disciples have now had their three flowers removed and their five energies dissipated, becoming ordinary mortals."
"I have heard that you possess a priceless treasure called the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, so I would like to ask for some."
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Taiqing. Among the three brothers, Taiqing Daoist was the most skilled at alchemy. His Nine-Turn Golden Pill could enable mortals to instantly become Great Luo Golden Immortals.
However, this type of elixir is extremely difficult to refine, requiring many precious treasures and a great deal of time to refine. This was precisely the scheme of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"After the ancient great shaman Hou Yi was reincarnated, he traveled to the Queen Mother of the West seeking the elixir of immortality. A vast collection of fantasy novels is available to satisfy your reading preferences."
"When the Queen Mother of the West attained enlightenment, I gave her a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. This elixir passed through her hands and then fell into the hands of Hou Yi."
"This single Nine-Turn Golden Elixir created a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and from then on, he became the Lord of Taiyin."
"However, although the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is good, once it is taken, one's cultivation will only be able to reach this level, and the cultivator will probably never have the chance to become a Primordial Golden Immortal in their entire life."
You'd better think this through!
The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir refined by the Taoist Taiqing also has side effects. The Great Luo Golden Immortal created by this elixir can only reach this level of cultivation and can never break through.
After consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, ordinary cultivators can ascend to heaven in one step and immediately attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
However, if the foundation is flawed and one does not accumulate great merit, one's spiritual practice will not be able to advance further in the future.
"I'd like to trouble you, elder brother, to refine a batch of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. Whether they consume it or not is their own decision!"
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately spoke up. As the Great Celestial Venerable of the Chan Sect, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure for his disciple.
"good!"
"After returning to the mountain, I will start refining elixirs!"
After discussing important matters, the two released the Three Flowers of Auspicious Clouds, which then discussed scriptures and doctrines with their disciples in the reed hut.
In the Xiqi region, a magnificent and exquisite pagoda, embodying the essence of heaven and earth, appeared, accompanied by a Taiji diagram radiating divine light.
Within the Cheng Tang camp, Yunxiao looked towards Xiqi, feeling immense pressure. Little did he know that the Sage Taiqing had also arrived.
"What should I do now?"
One sage was already giving Yunxiao a huge headache, but unexpectedly, the Taiqing Sage has arrived today.
"Big sister, what are you afraid of?"
"My Golden Dragon Scissors are unparalleled in their killing power. If they enter the formation, I will unleash this treasure to wipe them out."
After Bixiao said these words, she felt a murderous aura emanating from her. At this moment, Bixiao was already deeply affected by the calamity.
"It seems Heaven intends to destroy the Three Immortals!"
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao felt utterly devastated. Bixiao and Qiongxiao, being of shallow cultivation, were deeply affected by the calamity.
Now these two are actually spouting nonsense and even want to fight the sage. Isn't this like an old man eating poison, feeling that he has lived too long and wanting to seek his own death?
"Ugh!"
"Now disaster has struck!"
"With the two saints descending to the mortal realm today, I imagine we have created an enormous mess!"
"Even if our master himself were to arrive now, with our two senior uncles here, I'm afraid he still couldn't save the three of us!"
After a moment's thought, Yunxiao still chose to confront them head-on, since they were in the right this time.
Since we can't avoid it, let's just attack head-on!
The Dao values life, and the essence of the Jie Sect is to defy the heavens and seize a sliver of life. They live towards death, which is in line with the ultimate doctrine of the Jie Sect.
The next day, the Primordial Celestial Venerable ordered the two attendant immortals to prepare the incense carriage, and then borrowed the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage to enter the formation.
The Sage Taiqing, standing to the side, mounted the green ox with its horns, and had the Taoist Xuandu lead the way by pulling on the ox's nose ring.
The Taoist Ran Deng abandoned Zunyi, willingly serving as a pawn to lead the two sages to the front lines.
Along the way, auspicious clouds filled the air, manifesting endless exotic fragrances, and the sky was ablaze with rosy clouds, with many celestial phenomena appearing.
The Three Immortals opened the formation gates and welcomed the immortals into the formation!
Xin Huan and the others followed Zi Ya at the very end of the procession and also arrived at the Yellow River Formation.
After the two sages entered the formation, the Three Immortals activated their formation, and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron burst forth with ten thousand rays of golden light.
"Randeng Daoist, take this!"
Bixiao released the Golden Dragon Scissors, intending to kill the immortals of the Chan Sect. Her target was none other than the Chan Sect's Daoist Ran Deng.
The Golden Dragon Scissors, suspended in mid-air, transformed into two ancient dragons, baring their fangs and claws, exuding endless killing intent. The two twisted heads and tails, carrying immense killing power, and headed towards Burning Lamp's head.
