Chapter 29: The Immortal Island of Yingzhou

  "Wow, Master, you've finally come out!" Liu Er exclaimed as soon as Shen Gongbao left the Hunyuan Great Array.

  Nian Lingyan also rushed over with a whoosh, kicking up a cloud of dust. He called out in a muffled voice, "Master, have you found anything?"

  "Haha, of course! From now on, my dojo will be located here. Let me take you in and you'll understand its wonders!" Shen Gongbao said with a smile, then handed each of the two a token, on which the symbols to enter and exit the Great Chaos Array had already been refined, only requiring them to input their magical power to break through the array and enter it.

  Liu Er and Nian Lingyan had just entered when they immediately felt the dense spiritual energy within. Upon seeing the beautiful scene before their eyes, both of them were stunned for a moment. After a while, they came back to their senses, and Liu Er asked, "Master, is this place ours from now on?"

  "Of course! Haha!" Shen Gongbao smiled brightly, gesturing for the two to take a look around while he himself left the Chaos Array once again, flew up high, looked around in all directions, and then hovered in mid-air, stroking his chin as he pondered how to add another layer of protection to this immortal island.

  Nai, although Shengong Bao's days of cultivation were still short, and various strange encounters continued, he lacked the time to settle down, and as for the formation method, he knew very little about it. After a long time, Shengong Bao finally gave up his plan to set up the formation.

  "For the time being, let's just leave it like this. When I learn more advanced array techniques in the future, I'll set them up then. Otherwise, if I were to set up my current crude and shallow arrays, they would only attract others' attention." Sheng Gongbao thought to himself.

  After entering the Chaos Array, Shengong Bao arrived at an open space not far from the Li Na Bay Spring Eye. He manipulated his magical powers and deployed the Five Elements Dao technique to mobilize the surrounding metal elements. With ease, he conjured up a magnificent palace out of thin air, its ancient simplicity and splendor restrained within.

  "The Great Way is shaped, the Heavenly Way is mysterious and profound. Only by contemplating the mysteries of the universe can one attain enlightenment and understand the Tao. And I shall call this place the Precious Jade Hall!" As soon as he finished speaking, four golden ancient characters appeared on the plaque above the great hall. The four characters were written in iron script with silver hooks, resembling dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, each stroke and line seemingly containing the profound aura of the Tao.

  The grand hall erected by Shen Gong Bao concealed the Bay Spring beneath it, so that others generally wouldn't notice anything unusual about this place. As for why the spiritual energy was so dense, Shen Gong Bao could use the Spirit Gathering Formation to conceal it.

  He then pinched a few more tactics, and several simple bamboo houses stood not far away. He immediately called out Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan, saying: "You have been following me for a long time, but I have never taught you the orthodox cultivation method. I am from the Tian Jiao sect, and what I cultivate is the Yu Qing Xian Jue. This immortal decision was created by Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who at that time had an unparalleled tactic. Today, I will pass it on to you. Wait until later when I find a better cultivation method, and then I will teach it to you again!

  After finishing, he waved out two white lights and completely transmitted the Jade Clear Immortal Decision that he knew to the two of them. Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan accepted it and after slightly exploring it, they were both excited and agitated. Previously, the two could be said to have been in the same boat, being self-taught, let alone such an orthodox and complete cultivation method. Now that they had obtained a cultivation method created by a saint, how could they not be excited?

  Shen Gong Bao saw this, chuckled a few times, and then said: "The method is good, but it's not necessarily truly suitable for you. Liu Er, as one of the four monkeys of the Primordial Chaos, has an excellent innate talent, loves to fight, and is skilled in using staffs. There is a method that suits you even better!"

  Liu Er listened and said: "The disciple knows that it is the Xifang Jiao's mysterious skill, it is said that those who cultivate this method should have double combat power!"

  "No, no!" Duke Bao shook his head and said: "What you learned from the Western world is a side door method, although it's also ingenious, but not orthodox. My Taoist school has a practice called Jiu Zhuan Xuan Gong. This practice increases one's strength exponentially with each cycle of cultivation. If one cultivates to the ninth cycle, they can become a saint in the flesh and fundamentally don't need to take the path of killing the three corpses to become a saint."

  Six Ears was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Master, how come I've never heard of this technique before?" Six Ears had used his innate divine ability to eavesdrop on the world many times before, and there were few secrets that he didn't know. However, when it came to techniques, he had only heard of their names but not their contents. This was because cultivators who practiced techniques only needed to scan them with their divine sense, without needing to read them out loud. As a result, Six Ears couldn't obtain the specific content of the technique either.

  "Heh heh, this technique is actually a modified version of the Pangu True Body that Hongjun Daozu created based on Pangu's cultivation back in the day. Although it's not as difficult to cultivate as the Pangu True Body, its power has also been greatly reduced. However, it's still a technique that few dare to cultivate, because each cycle requires an exponential increase in magical power. By the sixth cycle, the required magical power will have accumulated to several orders of magnitude, making it fundamentally impossible to break through to the next cycle."

  He paused for a moment, then said: "However, this method has an overflow requirement that requires too deep an understanding of the Tao, as long as there is enough magical power to support it, one can break through, just like the ancestor witch back then, flesh and blood enemy, this method is most suitable for the four monkeys of chaos!"

  Liu Er's eyes lit up as he listened, and he said: "Master, then quickly call out the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Skill!"

  Shen Gong Bao spread his hands and said, "You're in such a hurry, this method is indeed one of the most profound skills of our sect, but it's not that easy to learn. I've only heard of it, never seen it before!"

  Seeing Liu Er's disappointed expression, Shen Gong chuckled and said: "Your current strength is still low, so you should continue to cultivate the Jade Clear Immortal Decision. As for the Nine Turns Mysterious Skill that I will teach you in the future, it requires a high level of cultivation to master. Although the Nine Turns Mysterious Skill does not have high requirements for one's cultivation level, those with deep and profound cultivation can wield its power effortlessly, making it even more powerful."

  "Disciple has learned!" Liu Er said respectfully.

  "Ling Yan, you are one of the only two Year Beasts in the world. You can comprehend the top-tier cultivation method like 'Taiyi's Great Sun Scripture' as well as Donghuang Taizhen did. It is also the most suitable cultivation method for you. Otherwise, if you were to cultivate other demonic tribes' methods, it would be a waste of your unique innate talent. You should know that what one understands oneself is truly suitable for oneself. Therefore, except for Hongjun Daozu, I'm afraid there's no one else who can impart a cultivation method that truly suits you."

  Nian Lingyan's face turned red with embarrassment, and he muttered: "If I have to comprehend the technique on my own, how many years and months will it take?"

  "In the years of cultivation, you should be afraid to have time to realize, at this moment you are also cultivating Yu Qing Xian Jue, pondering for a while, and it's good to discover your true way!"

  After a moment of contemplation, Shen Gong said: "Wait for me to arrange this island properly, and then I will explain the great way to you, helping you improve your cultivation!"

  Liuer Monkey and Nian Lingyan heard this and were both overjoyed!

  After ordering the two to disperse on their own, Shen Gong Bao once again scanned the entire Immortal Island with his divine consciousness and found that the range of the Chaotic Array that enveloped the island was roughly a square with a circumference of

  More than 4,000 miles away, suddenly, Shengong Bao discovered that there was a high jade mine of thousands of feet in the westernmost part of the Immortal Island.

  In a flash, Shen Gong Bao arrived in front of the jade mine, gazing at the crystal-clear jade mountain for a long time. Afterwards, he noticed that at the foot of the jade mountain, there was a spiritual spring, from which a rich and dense aura of immortal spirits emanated.

  He slightly lifted his Taoist robe, scooped up a handful of spring water, took a shallow sip, and found that it actually had a hint of wine flavor, sweet as nectar. He couldn't help but drink several more mouthfuls, feeling invigorated beyond compare.

  "In Yuzhou there is a jade paste like wine, called Jade Wine, drinking it makes people live forever!"

  "It gushes out like wine, with a sweet taste, and is called the Jade Spring. Drinking it, one gets drunk after several cups, and it makes people live long!"

  Shen Gong Bao muttered to himself for two sentences, and suddenly he was enlightened, "So this is the first of the three immortal islands overseas, Yingzhou!" Then he thought about the rumors of the three immortal islands, which were formed from the chaotic stones, as well as the chaotic green lotus and the three divine waters in the island. Suddenly overjoyed, he trampled on his iron shoes to search everywhere, and got everything without any effort.

  After searching for the three fairy islands for a long time, he finally found one of them, and it was the best one. Shen Gong's eyebrows opened with joy, and he couldn't help but laugh with delight.

  A stele was erected beside the spring, inscribed with the three characters "Yu Li Quan". Later, several Ling Qi arrays were arranged to carefully protect this place.

  Shen Gong Bao likes the desire of mouth and tongue, with this Yu Li Quan, when tasting delicious food in the future, there will be fine wine to accompany it. In the future, if a fellow Taoist comes to visit, it's also good to have something to entertain them.

  After everything was settled, Shen Gong Bao returned to the front of Xuanji Treasure Hall and summoned Liu Er Mihou and Nian Lingyan, beginning to explain the Great Way to them.

  (Hmm... this morning seems to be a bit off, haha, the last exam is finally over, focusing on writing now, everyone please give me some motivation, and don't forget to collect and give me some points, haha)
