Chapter 56: The Nine-Turn Yellow River vs the Primordial Chaos Formation (Part 2)

  After seeing Yun Xiao seal the Hunyuan Great Array, Shen Gongbao couldn't just let him seal it, nor did he dare to come out of the Hunyuan Great Array. So he decided to activate the only external attack method of the Hunyuan Great Array - the Chaos Thunder!

  The Chaotic Thunder is a powerful thunderbolt condensed from the spiritual energy extracted from the Chaotic Grand Array. Even Shen Gongbao doesn't know its true power, but it's probably at least on par with the Extinction Thunder, otherwise how could the Chaotic Grand Array withstand the Extinction Thunder?

  It's just that the Chaotic Thunderbolt needs to extract 90% of the spiritual energy from the Chaos Formation each time, so after releasing a Chaotic Thunderbolt, this Chaos Formation is basically scrapped.

  In the beginning, in the chaotic void, the Chaotic Array absorbed the Chaotic Spiritual Energy. Only a small amount of Chaotic Spiritual Energy was needed for a Chaotic Thunderbolt. However, since there is no Chaotic Spiritual Energy now, it's generally not possible to use the Chaotic Thunderbolt anymore.

  But even if it's not used now, it won't take long for the spiritual energy to be exhausted, and it will still be a dead end. It's better to make a desperate attempt at this moment.

  Only to see Shen Gong Bao strike out a few talismans, the entire chaotic array began to violently shake, and a fierce and oppressive aura suddenly rose up. Even Yun Xiao in the outermost part of the Jiuyou Huanghe Array felt his pores suddenly turn cold, and his spiritual awareness was also violently shaken, foretelling that a great crisis was approaching.

  Yun Xiao's eyebrows furrowed tightly. With her understanding of the Chaos Array, she knew that Shen Gongbao had probably activated the Chaos Thunderbolt.

  Seeing this, Yun Xiao no longer held back, his entire body's magical power surged violently, pouring into the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron. Suddenly, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was like it had taken a Ten Complete Great Supplement Pill, its brilliant light bursting forth, its aura instantly reaching its peak.

  At this time, the Chaos Great Array had been condensed for a period of time, and finally, the Chaos Thunder that consumed nine-tenths of the array's spiritual energy was formed. Shen Gongbao excitedly gazed at the Chaos Thunder, stretched out his hand and pointed, and then looked at the yellow fog outside the Chaos Great Array and struck it.

  After a deafening loud noise, the yellow fog that filled the sky disappeared, and in front of him, a figure with a slightly disheveled appearance appeared, holding the calm and peaceful Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

  Shen Gong Bao saw this and immediately withdrew the Hunyuan Great Array, coming to Yun Xiao's side and asking with concern: "Is Fellow Daoist Yunxiao unharmed?"

  "It's nothing, just let the fellow Daoist laugh, but the Chaotic Grand Array is indeed famous for a reason. If it were the complete version, I'm afraid Yun Xiao would have lost from the start."

  Yun Xiao was unobstructed, and Shen Gong Bao chuckled and said: "This formation is the one passed down by Pangu Great God, with such power, it's also understandable."

  Yun Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, Pan Gu's ability is indeed unimaginable!"

  "Sister, are you okay?" Just as the two were finishing up, Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao also rushed over, asking with concern.

  Yun Xiao smiled and brushed away her slightly disheveled black hair, "It doesn't matter, it was just a test of proof."

  Bixiao listened and this time patted her chest, saying: "Scared me to death!" Immediately afterwards, she glared at Shen Gongbao and shouted: "Hmph, you stinky Taoist priest! You actually released the Hunyuan divine thunder. Are you looking for death? Do you want me to use the Golden Dragon Scissors to duel with you?"

  Shen Gong Bao smiled awkwardly, "Ah... mistake, mistake, I just wanted to know the power of the Chaos Thunder, and with Yun Xiao's friend adding the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, it should be no problem. Bi Xiao, you won't think that the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation plus Hun Yuan Jin Dou and Yun Xiao's friend, this great Luo Jinxian master, can still surpass me, right?"

  "Hmph, of course it's my sister's Nine Turns Yellow River Formation that's powerful! The Chaotic Golden Cauldron is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure given by our teacher, how could you possibly win against me, stinky Daoist!"

  "Haha......" Shen Gongbao smiled slyly, and then spread his hands, saying: "In that case, why must Fellow Daoist Bi Xiao be angry?"

  Bixiao suddenly realized at this moment that he had unknowingly fallen into Shengong Bao's trap of provocative words, and immediately pointed at Shengong Bao, saying: "You stinky Taoist, you...you..."

  "Alright, sister, it's just a matter of verifying the formation with Shendao You, no need to be so serious. But I must say, Shendao You's understanding of the Hunyuan Great Formation is quite profound, its power is indeed not to be underestimated." Yun Xiao said lightly.

  Shen Gong Bao laughed and said: "It's all settled then. Why don't we go have some tea and discuss the Tao instead?"

  San Xiao nodded, and they all agreed. However, Bi Xiao was still slightly angry, glaring fiercely at Shen Gongbao for a few moments. Shen Gongbao could only smile awkwardly, pretending not to notice.

  Thus, Shen Gong Bao and San Xiao mutually confirmed their respective understandings of cultivating the Tao, exchanged ideas and both gained a lot. After a long time, San Xiao stood up to bid farewell and returned to San Xian Island.

  After Shen Gong Bao left, he called the six ears and others to ask: "Just now with the three immortals of Sanxian Island, did you have any gains?"

  "Master, it's true that there are gains, but somehow I just can't quite put my finger on what exactly has been gained. It's all very strange."

  "I think so too, yeah, it feels like in the midst of confusion, there's also some clarity."

  Jingwei looked left and right, then smiled at Shengong Bao: "Master, this... this... understanding the Great Way is so boring. Jingwei didn't hear it just now, hehe, why don't Master tell Jingwei again later?"

  After listening, Shengong Bao patted Jingwei's little head and said: "Jingwei, this won't do. In this world, everything relies on strength to speak out loud. If you were strong enough back then, there wouldn't have been that disaster. If you don't want the tragedy to repeat itself, start from now on and work hard to cultivate the 'Lihuo True Classic'."

  Jingwei nodded her small head, and stuck to Shen Gongbao's light way: "Hmm, Jingwei knows, in the future Jingwei will cultivate with Liu'er and Nian Lingyan Shixiong together."

  After saying that, he clenched his small fist and said: "Hmph, Jingwei also wants to become a master!"

  Shen Gong Bao smiled and said to Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan, "According to what you've said, it seems that you have indeed gained some insight. That's good. The truth can only be understood intuitively and cannot be transmitted through words. Some things are most suitable for oneself only when one has personally experienced them."

  After a moment, Shen Gong Bao said: "From now on, you should focus on cultivating within the island and are not allowed to go out. The Sealing God's Tribulation is about to begin, I need to go down the mountain and enter the mortal world for a while, if necessary, you will also have to move around in the mortal world."

  The three of them immediately agreed, and afterwards, Shen Gong Bao dispersed the three of them, letting each return to their own cultivation. After that, Shen Gong Bao returned to Wudao Pavilion, carefully considering what matters he should handle before leaving.

  After careful consideration, Shen Gongbao found that everything was well-prepared and put his mind at ease. He took out the Dragon Pearl of the Ancestral Dragon he had exchanged from the Dragon King and examined it carefully.

  This dragon bead emitted a faint halo, carrying a mysterious aura that attracted Shen Gongbao's attention. For some reason, Shen Gongbao always felt that this dragon bead was extraordinary and hid something within it.

  "Could it be the 'Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon'?" Sheng Gong Bao muttered to himself. The Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon was a cultivation method passed down from their ancestor, and it was said to be extremely powerful. Along with the Phoenix Clan's "Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens" and the Qilin Clan's "Qilin Nine Glories", it was known as one of the three top-tier cultivation methods in the Primordial Chaos, but these methods were only suitable for their respective clans, which is why they weren't widely spread.

  Looking at the white lines flowing inside the dragon ball, Shen Gongbao always felt as if a divine dragon was swimming around. Shaking his head, Shen Gongbao thought to himself: "Although this dragon ball is an object of the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Dragon has fallen for many years, and its dragon soul has long since dissipated. How could it be hidden inside this dragon ball? It must be an illusion. Otherwise, if the soul of the Ancestral Dragon still existed, it would have been reborn a long time ago."

  For an existence as powerful as the Ancestral Dragon, to occupy a physical body and be reborn is probably easy. Therefore, Shengong Bao ultimately did not figure out why he had such a strange and indescribable feeling, and could only bewilderedly put away the dragon pearl, leaving it for later to unravel its secrets.

  Then Shen Gong Bao began to meditate and cultivate his energy, using the "Huang Ting Nei Jing Jing" to understand all that he had discussed with San Xiao. After seven days, Shen Gong Bao felt that everything had been comprehended, and his body was refreshed and comfortable. He then got up, closed the Wu Dao Ge, without disturbing Liu Er and others, and left Ying Zhou Xian Island, heading towards Dong Sheng Shen Zhou in the vast wilderness of Hong Huang Da Lu.
