Chapter 46: Cultivation Eighth Load (Part 2) (First Update Seeking Collection)
The imperial purple energy is something that emperors are born with, containing the power of a true dragon. Anyone who possesses this imperial purple energy will inevitably become an emperor.
The imperial aura left by Da Yu has been cultivated for many years, and it has grown a lot, but it is still far from becoming a purple gas primordial spirit. To become a purple gas primordial spirit, one needs to infuse boundless merits and virtues, only then can it take shape.
Shen Gong Bao naturally wouldn't go to cultivate that purple energy primordial spirit, he simply took the great Yu's lifelong memories contained within and thoroughly comprehended them, then assisted by the grand dao maxims of the "Huang Ting Nei Jing Jing", extracted the parts helpful to his cultivation, merged and transformed them into something of his own.
Da Yu had reached the peak of his cultivation in his heyday, with a broad vision and memories as vast as the sea. It took Shen Gong four years to fully organize them, after which he continued to reflect on Da Yu's life, especially his insights into cultivating the Tao, from which Shen Gong benefited greatly.
Apart from those cultivation experiences, what delighted Shen Gongbao the most was Da Yu's unique understanding of alchemy. He thought that in his previous life, when Da Yu was governing the chaotic waters of the world, he was distressed by the lack of powerful tools in his hands, so he devoted himself to studying alchemy. Perhaps due to his innate cleverness, he actually gained a peculiar insight into it.
Da Yu led the way to guide the turbulent waters, opening mountains and splitting rocks, refining them into an axe for opening mountains; To determine the depth of the turbulent waters, digging through canals, creating a generation of divine soldiers like the Golden Hoop Rod, all of which were only the initial results of Da Yu's research on refining equipment.
The most peak moment of Da Yu's alchemy was when he refined the famous Nine States Cauldron, which is also where the subtlety of Emperor Huang's purple energy lies.
Through Da Yu's memory, Shen Gong Bao learned that after Da Yu finished governing the chaotic waters of the world, he feared that the people of the nine states would suffer from floods or other disasters again. With great love in his heart, he sought advice from all sides and heard that the leaders of several major sects had used the Primordial Heavenly Spirit Treasure to suppress the aura of the times when they first established their teachings. The aura of these great teachings was vast and long-lasting, and the disciples were rarely ill or encountered disasters.
Da Yu then wholeheartedly wanted to refine a rare treasure that could suppress the aura of the nine states, bring blessings to the people of the nine states, and benefit future generations.
That was Da Yu's cultivation, which had already reached the realm of Tai Luo Golden Immortal. He had a good understanding of the Purple Qi Yuan Shen, but he didn't think about cultivating it. Instead, he carefully sensed his own Imperial Purple Qi and finally discovered that his Imperial Purple Qi had a peculiar connection with the people of the nine states. After repeated introspection, Da Yu finally realized that this peculiar connection was the power of faith, also known as the power of incense.
Da Yu controlled the waters, and all the people under heaven sang his praises and admired his virtues. With the love and admiration of the people below him, his own cultivation became even higher, and he naturally felt the power of the incense offerings from the people. From this power of incense offerings and his own imperial purple energy, Da Yu realized the method of transforming the power of incense offerings into the operation of qi, which was incorporated into the practice of alchemy, ultimately refining the Nine Provinces Cauldron to suppress the operation of qi in the nine provinces.
At that time, Da Yu ordered the people of the nine states to each take out a drop of their own blood, with their own imperial purple energy as the guide, and melt it into the copper of the first mountain. After 99 days, they finally cast nine three-legged two-eared square cauldrons, called the Nine States Cauldron.
This tripod was formed by gathering the essence and blood of the people from the nine states, and also had the purple energy of Emperor Yu as a guide. It can gather the power of incense from the people of the nine states. Later, Emperor Yu ordered people to place the Nine States Tripod in various places of the nine states, arranged according to the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, forming the Great Array of Nine Tripods. On the day of completion, the heavens bestowed boundless merit, auspicious signs were born, dragons roared and winds howled, and all people under heaven were amazed beyond measure.
Yu Wang Ding, as a refining tripod furnace, also absorbed boundless merits at this time, becoming an artifact of great merit, possessing the reverse heavenly effect of transforming post-heavenly objects into pre-heavenly objects. Together with its divine ability to "stabilize the nine provinces", it is undoubtedly a reverse heavenly object.
Not to mention the heaven-defying effect of Yu Wang Ding, just the effect of Emperor's Purple Qi is enough to make Shen Gong Bao overjoyed. This is because the Emperor's Purple Qi can actually use it as a guide, refining and transforming the power of incense fire into one's own aura, thus making this person's aura constantly improving?
Shen Gong Bao didn't know how the saint transformed the power of incense and fire, but now he finally had a way to transform it himself. He was overjoyed, thinking that from then on, he could do good deeds to accumulate merit, and also let the people of the nine states know about him through these good deeds. In this way, his incense would continue uninterrupted, transforming into auspicious energy, and his accumulated merit would also help to lengthen his auspicious energy. The two would complement each other, making it difficult for his auspicious energy to decrease.
"Haha, the aura is vast and far-reaching, the momentum is strong, and the cultivation path is smooth. It should be possible to avoid illness and disaster!" Shen Gongbao said to himself with a joyful smile, "Yu Wang, Yu Wang, I will repay your kindness many times over. In the future, within my capabilities, I will definitely help you get justice!"
Then Shen Gong's face suddenly turned bitter, just like when he first obtained the Two Instruments Clear and Clean Lamp. The effect of Yu Wang Ding was even more severe, able to transform the acquired into the innate. Such a heaven-defying effect, if one were to successfully refine an innate spiritual treasure, even if the saint didn't come to investigate their responsibility, that harmonious Dao ancestor Hong Jun would immediately come to find trouble with them.
"It's a crime to possess the jade! And I don't have the power to protect it either!" said Shen Gongbao with regret, then glanced at Yu Wangding and finally decided to put it away temporarily, absolutely not using it in the short term, otherwise that would be courting death.
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Gong's body shape shifted and he suddenly appeared beside the Hunyuan Qinglian, which was protected by the Hunyuan Great Array below the Xuanji Treasure Hall. He summoned the Yuwang Ding, and with a light shake of his hand, the Yuwang Ding transformed into a white light that drilled into the Hunyuan Qinglian, merging with the strand of divine spirit within it to become one entity, nurturing and incubating together within the Hunyuan Qinglian.
With a faint smile, Shen Gong Bao's figure disappeared again and arrived at the Xuanji Treasure Hall. Looking at the empty Xuanji Treasure Hall, Shen Gong Bao scratched his head in embarrassment: "Fortunately, no outsiders have come here, otherwise I would lose face greatly. Not even one treasure is left, how can it still be called Xuanji Treasure Hall?"
Suddenly, Shen Gong Bao smiled slyly and said, "It seems that in the future, we need to make a good plan. At least, we should fill up this Xuanji Treasure Hall properly. Also, for Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan's spiritual treasures, we should also make some plans."
The Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand was originally very suitable for Liu Er, but Shen Gong Bao had other plans. Moreover, this Ruyi Jingu Bang had a great fate with Da Yu, and if it attracted the attention of Taishang Laojun, it would be a loss. It's better to leave it to that Lingming Stone Monkey anyway, after all, it was his predestined treasure.
However, wanting to get it so cheaply is impossible, hehe. Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed with a sinister smile, and his lewd grin spread across his face.
Just as he was lost in thought, the sound of fighting came from outside, and Liu Er and Nian Lingyan were at it again.
Shen Gong Bao smiled and walked out, and from a distance, he found that Liu Er had already reached the middle period of Taiyi Xuanxian, and Nian Lingyan was not far behind. The law power around his body was surging, it seemed that he would soon pass the transformation tribulation and achieve the fruit of Taiyi Xuanxian.
Shen Gong Bao had just appeared when he was discovered by Liu Er, and immediately stopped fighting. He quickly walked over and said: "Greetings, Master! Congratulations on successfully leaving the pass and advancing your cultivation to a higher level!"
"Hehe, good master!"
Shen Gong Bao nodded and said: "During my retreat, has anything happened?"
Liu Er shook his head and said, "Nothing major happened, everything is calm. It's just that not long ago, people from the East Sea Dragon Palace came to invite Master to go for a visit, but at that time Master was still in closed cultivation, so I didn't respond immediately. We'll make plans after Master comes out of seclusion."
"Hmm, the East Sea Dragon Palace is nearby, might as well go for a stroll." Shen Gongbao chuckled to himself, and then remembered that Ruyi Jingu Bang, just in time to put his plan into action.
Then Shen Gong Bao said to Nian Ling Yan, "I see the law power surging around you, I'm afraid the day of your tribulation is approaching, have you figured out the specific date?"
Nian Lingyan scratched his head and said: "I don't know, it feels like just these few days!"
Bang!
Shen Gong Bao heavily knocked on Nian Ling Yan's forehead and said, "The Heavenly Dao will notify the person who is about to cross the tribulation when the time comes. You just need to feel it carefully and you will understand. Crossing the tribulation is a major event, so don't be careless."
"Heh heh, I'll go meditate and sense the tribulation period." Nian Lingyan smiled awkwardly, then quickly ran back to quietly cultivate and comprehend the tribulation day.
"Hmm, Liu Er, you go outside the island to find a place where no one else exists, prepare it for Ling Yan to use as a refuge." Shen Gong Bao said calmly.
"Yes, Master!"
After that, Liu Er went out to find an uninhabited island, while Shen Gong Bao pondered for a moment, rummaging through the formation in his mind, preparing to make thorough preparations for Lin Lingyan's tribulation.
It's over... I'm exhausted, Three Jiang's re-examination didn't pass, haha, only a potential version left, will try again next time, feel free to give your opinions, Qing Feng will respond one by one, haha.
