Chapter 3: The Divine Methods of the Gods and Spirits of the Heavens
Five streams of light burst out from the body of Fu Yaozi, falling into the void and instantly transforming into five divine spirits. One of them was a hundred feet tall, with two faces and four hands, one face male and one face female. In his four hands, one hand held the Sword of All Laws, one hand held the Knife that Shatters Heaven, one hand raised an umbrella of yin and yang, and one hand grasped a crystal lute. The "Treasured Emperor Scripture" says: "Among all the heavens and gods, there is a god with dual sexuality, named the God of Yin and Yang of All Laws."
A statue with a height of nearly fifty zhang, but it is a dragon head and human body. On top of the dragon's head, a pair of nine-jointed dragon horns are inserted upside down, and under the high nose, two hundred-meter-long whiskers float in the windless air. The body is covered with dense dragon scales, one layer covering another, forming a natural dragon scale divine armor. The edges of the dragon scales have green light flashing, and at a glance, it can be seen that its defensive power is extremely strong. In his hand, he holds a ten-zhang-long dragon tribe divine soldier, which is the famous evil dragon tooth among all the heavenly and earthly treasures. "The Heavenly Law Volume" introduces: "Heavenly spirits, evil dragon god ranks 482nd."
The third statue is a woman, with the upper body being that of a beautiful and alluring beauty, with a head full of white hair flowing behind her, over a hundred feet long. The lower half of her body is a huge snake tail, covered in layers of scales, looking very eerie. According to the "Guangfa Wanshen Juan", it says: "A beauty that can topple cities, with the heart of a venomous snake and scorpion. An ancient beautiful woman with the heart of a snake and scorpion, ranked 369th among all the gods in heaven and earth."
The fourth statue was shrouded in a large white cloak, and from the gap of the cloak, only darkness could be seen. This divine being had no hands, no feet, and even no body, but as soon as it appeared, Zuo Ci's face also showed a look of shock. The "Treasures of the Heavens" records this divine being: "Hidden in the void, truly fully controlling all space, controlling the complete rules of space. Void God, among the gods of heaven and earth, can be ranked in the top 100."
The last one, as soon as it came out, the sky above the small village turned into a fiery red color. Endless purple flames were burning fiercely on its body, like a sun in the sky, and the scorching heat even wrinkled the space around it. With a height similar to that of ordinary people, it wore a white wide-sleeved brocade robe, holding an open fan in its hand, with a kerchief tied on its head. At first glance, it seemed like a scholar with a wealth of knowledge, but the flames burning on its body made even Xī Yóu Zǐ's face turn serious. The ancient fire god, controlling the origin of all fires in the world, had flames on its body that could burn everything between heaven and earth. It was a symbol of destruction, and even the protective aura of cultivators would be burned by it. Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the flameless fire was that it could also burn the soul and divine thoughts of cultivators.
Cultivators, the physical body is a boat, and the divine soul is the person inside the boat. To think that in the mortal world of cause and effect, one can cross to the other shore, to that legendary land of eternity, no cultivator dares to let their physical body be destroyed easily, and they will cultivate various physical techniques to enhance the strength of their physical body. However, the divine soul is the foundation of a cultivator, and as long as the divine soul is not extinguished, one can be reborn endlessly at any time. But these two things are existences that can be destroyed in front of the flames of nothingness, so the flames of nothingness can be called the arch-nemesis of cultivators.
The five gods gathered in the void after condensing, and Xīaozi was no longer as calm and composed as before.
These five gods, in the distant past when the heavens had a myriad of gods, were each powerful masters, unyielding and with notorious reputations. Any one of them had already grasped the essence of this world, the origin of this realm, and could be called "Tao".
Although it is not the true body that has descended, but rather Fuyaozi obtained a small amount of the true spiritual seeds left behind by the five gods in this world from the ancient ruins. The spiritual seed was condensed into a god at the fifth step of the divine realm. However, it is still the remnant of its true spiritual seed that has been condensed, and after condensing, it still carries a hint of its true self's understanding of this world and the laws. This small amount of understanding is an extremely terrifying existence for the current cultivation world.
The fifth step of cultivation, the realm of divine spirits. Divine spirits refer to such divine spirits. Disciples of any sect, when they reach the fifth step, will go down the mountain and travel the world. At the same time, they search for various ancient ruins, searching for the true spirit seeds left behind by the ancient great gods in this world, then refine them into their own body, consuming a large amount of heavenly energy to condense, making it a part of their cultivation.
Of course, not everyone can condense the five divine spirits like Fuyaozi. Finding ancient ruins is extremely rare, and the ancient seals left behind in the ruins are enough to destroy all intruders. Anyone who can get a true seed of an ancient divine spirit has gone through life and death.
In all major Xian Tao sects, disciples who can obtain a True Spirit Seed of an ancient divine spirit will be promoted to True Disciples. Those who obtain two are treasures within the sect, enjoying a unique and lofty position. All resources within the sect will prioritize such disciples. Such disciples will eventually grow into powerful figures in their own right. As for those with three or more, each one that appears will be a legendary figure of the Xian Tao world, a myth, a legend. However, those who can obtain three or more have only appeared three times in the past thousand years within the Xian Tao.
One is Taiyu Temple's Tianpeng Duhuoluo Zhou, who obtained the true spirit seeds of three divine spirits in an ancient ruin. The second is Qingyun Dahuang Sunluo Yue of the Tiangong Academy, another sacred place, also obtained the true spirit seeds of three divine spirits. The third, however, is Leizhou Leizedongtian's Tianlei Dahuang Lei Tianhao, rumored to have obtained the true spirit seeds of four divine spirits in an ancient ruin, destined to be a legendary figure in the future path of immortality.
As for someone like Fuyaozi who obtained five, Xīyáozi only saw one, which was Fuyaozi. Even he himself only got four. He can be certain that if Fuyaozi didn't fall, in the future he would definitely break through the Longevity Step and become a legendary existence. The true spirit seed of the ancient divine spirits is not just a simple condensation of the divine spirit's avatar, but rather the key point lies in the subtle understanding of the heavens and earth that it contains. The ancient divine spirits' understanding of the heavens and earth is vast, and it is an important path to take to step into the Longevity Step, which is why Xīyáozi has this certainty.
But that's for later. For now, Fuyaozi has summoned five divine spirits, and Xianyaozi is worried that he might fall because of this.
The five gods descended, and even this world shook slightly.
Fuyaozi summoned the five gods of the Five Elements, immediately ordering them to form a defensive array around himself. The endless lightning and thunder in the sky were blocked outside, and he took this opportunity to finally launch his own attack.
"The myriad laws of yin and yang, the command of the myriad laws. Yin-yang umbrella, open for me. Swallowing heaven and earth." With a wave of his hand, the yin-yang umbrella in the hands of the Yin-Yang God suddenly shot up into the sky, rapidly expanding in the void until it became thousands of miles wide before suddenly opening up. In an instant, a massive attractive force like a black hole was released from the umbrella, and the Thunder Beast summoned by Xīyángzi was involuntarily sucked in.
A flash of lightning, a beast of thunder. Countless flashes of lightning, countless beasts of thunder were sucked into the yin-yang umbrella. And yet the yin-yang umbrella seemed like a huge black hole that could never be filled.
This is the Divine Transcendence Technique. Divine Transcendence, a divine technique used by the gods to transcend the heavens. Only those who have reached the fifth step and obtained the True Spirit Seed of the gods can use it after condensing into a divine spirit. And how could a divine technique that can be used by the gods be an ordinary existence?
Fuyaozi's divine power was unleashed, immediately rendering Xiangyaozi's Thunderclap Command ineffective. Divine power is just that overbearing, that tyrannical, an unstoppable synonym.
Seeing the Supreme Immortal's Secret broken, Fuyaozi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. The Supreme Immortal's Secret, what is it after all? You have the Supreme Immortal's Secret, I also have the Divine Method, we're just evenly matched.
Xiaoyaozi is a figure of what kind, at a glance, he saw the pride in Fuyaozi's heart. He smiled coldly and said: "The Supreme Immortal Secret is not so easily broken. If it were that easy to break, it wouldn't be worthy of being called 'Supreme' and 'Immortal', these two ultimate principles."
His hand, like a pillar supporting the sky, remained unwavering despite the immense attraction of the yin-yang umbrella. With a cold glance at Fuyaozi, Xiangyaozi withdrew his finger pointing to the sky and suddenly opened his fist, transforming it into a palm before tightly grasping it again: "The Supreme Immortal's Secret, the General Outline of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Thunder Methods - Zi Purple Thousand Red." Xiangyaozi's voice was like thunder, rising coldly between heaven and earth.
"Crack!" A bolt of sky-blue lightning fell from the stunned eyes of Fuyaozi, landing on the yin-yang umbrella. With a "thud", it was as if an ancient giant had heavily trampled the earth, and the dull sound shook the heavens.
Under Fuyaozi's gaze, the huge canopy of the yin-yang umbrella was struck by a bolt of sky-blue lightning, creating a massive hole. The yin-yang umbrella trembled in mid-air for a few moments before Fuyaozi felt it cry out in pain. Then, the yin-yang umbrella automatically closed and returned to its original shape, falling down.
"Tai Chu Gu Shen Zhi Lei", Tai Chu's time, used to exercise the power of heaven's way, the heavenly thunder that judges all gods.
In the void, one after another "Tai Chu Ancient God's Thunder" kept falling down, dyeing the entire sky and earth with a touch of sky blue.
With a wave of his hand, an ancient and unadorned sword with a mottled blade and no sharp edges appeared in the hands of Xiao Yaozi. Xiao Yaozi grasped the sword with one hand and pinched a spell with the other, his feet stepping out a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand footwork arrays, his cold voice causing Fuyaozi's forehead to break out in a cold sweat with a "whoosh".
"Heavenly Thunder, I am the commander. Supreme Immortal Incantation, Heavenly Thirty-Six Routes Thunder Method General Nine Heavens Summoning Thunder True Words Spell!"
