Chapter 34 Blessed Land Weather
After the thirty-six Zhou Tian Sha Banners were completed, Xuan Yao sat cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tea Tree and slowly exhaled a long, clear breath.
After tens of thousands of years of seclusion and painstaking planning, today, the magical artifact system that Xuan Yao has used to establish himself in this primordial world has finally taken true and preliminary shape!
Looking inward, he saw four precious treasures that carried his four paths to heaven, quietly floating around his true spirit, reflecting each other's brilliance.
On the Path of Fortune, there is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure called the Heart-Soothing Scepter, which guards the spiritual platform, wards off inner demons, and continuously nourishes that pure and blessed energy, ensuring that he remains untainted by worldly karmic obstacles in this treacherous wilderness.
The Xuan Sha Dao has the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, as its final weapon.
That terrifying power to sever evil spirits and suppress all demons was enough to give him the strength to reverse the tide of battle when facing any powerful enemy.
His swordsmanship is deadly, and he possesses the reforged mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Flying Gold Sword. Its sword intent is majestic, and its sharpness is restrained. As his most commonly used offensive weapon, it is sufficient to deal with more than 90% of ordinary combat techniques.
The evolution of the array formation involves the newly forged thirty-six Zhou Tian Sha Banners, which, with the number of the Heavenly Gang, form a net that traps and kills all things by borrowing the power of heaven and earth. They are also an excellent foundation for his future deduction of the Zhou Tian Star Array Great Dao.
"With the combination of orthodox and unorthodox methods, and a balance between offense and defense, my foundation is now far more solid than when I first entered the Golden Immortal realm!"
Xuan Yao felt much more at ease.
Even without using the Treasure-Dropping Coin, which would diminish his own fortune and luck, he is now a true great demon immortal in this vast wilderness, relying solely on these four treasures and his powerful body at the Golden Immortal level.
And with Xuan Yao's several long periods of seclusion and weapon forging.
The dark green mountain beneath his feet is also undergoing an astonishing transformation.
The once eerie and malevolent lair of the demon king has long since become a thing of the past.
Today, Qingheishan Mountain increasingly resembles a true blessed land of immortals and a top-notch Taoist temple.
Deep within the mountain, a branch of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, over ten feet tall, stands quietly beside the cold pool. As its branches and leaves unfurl, they cast wisps of serene and ethereal Daoist charm that soothe the soul.
Not far away, the Jade Dew Blessing Tree exudes a pure and refreshing aura, continuously spreading its peaceful and auspicious energy to every corner of the entire mountain range.
Inside the dojo, the two attendants, Qingya and Yuanguo, as well as the white fox lineage that Xuanyao had rescued, were all performing their duties in an orderly manner.
The fox-spirit maidens carefully tended to the exotic flowers and herbs transplanted from the outside world in the forest valley, Qingya patrolled the mountain rocks and barriers every day, and Yuanguo dutifully guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the cold pool.
The entire interior and exterior of Qinghei Mountain were completely enveloped by the spirit-gathering array, the illusion array, and the hidden killing intent of the fortune-inducing restriction personally set up by Xuan Yao.
Under such thorough gathering and nourishment of spiritual energy, the innate spiritual energy in the mountains becomes increasingly abundant, and even in the early morning, it transforms into a visible spiritual mist that drifts through the forest.
Even the birds and beasts around these mountains, who were originally ignorant, have gradually developed intelligence and become gentle and humane after years of being bathed in this blessed and pure energy and the tea of enlightenment, adding countless vitality to this place of practice.
For a period of time afterward, Xuan Yao enjoyed an unusually peaceful and leisurely life.
This Qinghei Mountain is located near the border of Xikunlun.
Now, the Queen Mother of the West has been officially recognized by the Dao Ancestor and has become the rightful head of female immortals. She also possesses the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Pure Water Bowl, which suppresses her fortune, making her power and influence at their peak.
With this top-tier innate deity presiding over the area, even if those ordinary demon cultivators and rogue immortals who roamed the prehistoric world had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to run wild in this territory.
In addition, Xuan Yao himself is already a Golden Immortal who has condensed the Immortal Golden Nature!
The power of a Golden Immortal is enough to intimidate a region.
The temple is protected by numerous exquisite array formations, making it virtually impregnable.
Therefore, over these tens of thousands of years, no one dared to easily trespass, and no foolish villains dared to disturb his peaceful cultivation.
Thus, during this rare period of peace, Xuan Yao continued to slowly digest the enormous gains he had made at Wuyi Mountain and the Yaochi Grand Gathering, while repeatedly honing his various magical treasures in his cave.
What he devoted the most effort to was the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Xuan Sha Golden Whip!
This item was bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West. It naturally contains thirty-three innate restrictions and is his most powerful trump card for killing.
Previously, when he was at the Xuanxian realm, he spent twelve thousand years of hard work and only barely managed to open the first six restrictions, and the power he could unleash was just a drop in the ocean.
But now, the situation is completely different.
Using the ever-renewing power of the Golden Immortal, Xuan Yao once again immersed his mind in the extremely violent inner world of the Xuan Sha Golden Whip.
"Boom!"
Inside the Golden Whip, the storm formed by the intertwining of innate Geng Metal Qi and chaotic evil Qi remained as terrifying as ever.
But at this moment, Xuan Yao's divine sense had already been tainted with an immortal golden nature, and when faced with such a backlash, he remained as steadfast as a reef in the sea.
He painstakingly and meticulously used his own innate profound energy to refine the shackles of the Great Dao on the innate restriction.
Thus, Xuan Yao remained seated in this secret chamber for over 20,000 years!
"Buzz—!"
Twenty thousand years later, three extremely dazzling black-gold divine patterns suddenly erupted from the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, and then quickly receded into the whip body.
Xuan Yao slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue flashing in them, but more than that, an undisguised ecstasy.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth!
After spending twenty thousand years, he finally pushed the innate restrictions of the Xuan Sha Golden Whip to the sixth level with great difficulty!
Don't underestimate the power of these three mere restrictions.
For a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the difficulty increases with each additional restriction it refines, but the power of the laws of heaven and earth that it can mobilize also increases dramatically!
At this point, Xuan Yao's control over the Xuan Sha Golden Whip was naturally far superior to before.
Xuan Yao even had a strange feeling that if he were facing a Golden Immortal of the same realm at this moment...
If the opponent has no trump card to defend themselves, a single lash of the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, which has broken through the six restrictions, would likely tear their physical body and primordial spirit into nothingness!
"Phew...this is the true foundation of protection!"
Xuan Yao was extremely satisfied and put both the Xuan Sha Golden Whip and the Luo Bao Golden Coin into the depths of his Purple Mansion Dantian.
During his long periods of seclusion and weapon crafting, Xuan Yao would occasionally emerge from his monotonous secret chamber to inspect his increasingly prosperous Daoist temple.
He took off his solemn Taoist robe and put on a loose blue shirt, strolling through the mountains and forests like an ordinary wealthy man.
Sometimes, he would walk into the valley on the east side of the dojo, which was tended by the white fox clan and was covered in flowers.
Watching the carefree playful young foxes, he would sit in the pavilion for half a day with the respectful company of the white-clad old fox.
Xuan Yao possessed an extremely broad perspective, comparable to that of later generations, coupled with his insights into the Dao of Cause and Effect while listening to the Dao at Yaochi.
He would occasionally offer a few words of philosophical insight about marital entanglements and the karmic retribution in the mortal world.
Often, the white-robed old fox would be completely captivated by what he heard, even experiencing a sudden enlightenment on the spot, and becoming even more reverent towards this unfathomable master, treating him like a deity.
In his spare time, Xuan Yao would also summon the two boys, Qingya and Yuanguo, to his side.
He no longer simply taught rigid breathing techniques as before, but began to try to let them explore some basic formations on the outskirts of Qinghei Mountain.
"Qingya, the Kan water level in this Spirit Gathering Array is too wet. Try transplanting that Blazing Sun Grass there, using wood to generate fire and fire to consume water, and see if the flow of the array becomes more harmonious?"
"Yuan Guo, the life gate of that illusion array must not remain unchanged. You must learn to observe the projections of the sun, moon, and stars in this mountain, and every three hours, switch the life gate and the death gate."
Xuan Yao patiently taught the two boys one by one.
It's not that he's particularly fond of being a teacher.
Rather, he knew that a truly top-tier dojo could not be sustained by him alone.
He needs to slowly train these children and foxes into capable assistants who can stand on their own and truly help him operate this vast blessed land formation.
As time goes by.
Under Xuan Yao's well-balanced management, combining both kindness and severity.
The entire Qinghei Mountain is steadily growing and developing into a complete and profound ancient Daoist center.
