Chapter Eighty-Seven: Tai Yin and Tai Yang

  The Beihai Sea, howling with fierce winds, icebergs and rocks piled up, a scene of deathly silence.

  The North Sea seabed, the chaotic Xiao Island, the auspicious and spiritual energy flows, and the vitality is flourishing.

  Hong Jun and Yang Mei Da Xian talked about Taoism, time flew like an arrow, and the light of ten thousand years passed in a flash.

  Yang Mei Da Xian said: "That Wu Tu Xiantian Linggen is about to transform, and there is also a Xiantian Geng Jin Linggen that needs to be enlightened. I'll go take a trip. However, those other three Linggens I couldn't calculate."

  Hong Jun said: "The innate Jia Mu Linggen is here with me, and I don't know about the others."

  Yang Mei Da Xian said: "Everyone has their own destiny, and it cannot be forced."

  Hong Jun said: "I see that the two spiritual objects in the lake of Xiantian Shen Shui, which was condensed by the Great Immortal, are not ordinary things, but also people with great fate."

  Yang Mei Da Xian said: "Haha, fellow Taoist wants to rescue them, it's a great opportunity, I'll go with you to ask for help from Xuan Bing Dao friend."

  Hong Jun said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist. However, this Xuan Bing is not single-mindedly devoted to the Tao. I fear that in the future there will be many setbacks."

  Yang Mei Da Xian thought for a moment and said: "Let things take their natural course."

  In the North Sea, a huge fish of unknown thousands of miles is floating in the black sea water, rolling over and over to express its joy.

  That fish, with a flip of its body, suddenly leapt into the air and stirred up waves like a huge tsunami. The fish, in mid-air, suddenly grew a pair of wings on its back and transformed into a gigantic Peng bird, soaring over the Northern Sea. At the same time, it cried out to the Daoist Hongyuan who was floating on the surface of the Northern Sea.

  That great Peng bird landed and transformed into a black-robed Taoist, who bowed to Hong Jun and said: "Disciple Kunpeng thanks the teacher for rescuing him, but that Xuantu is naturally dull and unwilling to leave this place where he was born."

  Hong Jun nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, I've already informed Xuan Bing Lao Zu, Xuan Gui won't have any more troubles." In his heart, he secretly thought, I wonder what connection this Kun Peng has with the Kun Peng demon god in the primordial chaos.

  "Jiǎo Péng said: 'We have suffered hardships all our lives, and as soon as we were born, we encountered bitter tribulations. If it weren't for the teacher's rescue, we would have no chance to rise up. I hope to serve the teacher, dare ask where the teacher is going, I want to be a substitute for walking.'"

  Hong Jun said: "Alright, I want to travel through the vast wilderness, can you take me for a ride?"

  The sun star is truly fiery, jumping and leaping with boundless heat, an ancient palace stands tall at the center of the sun, emitting a majestic aura.

  Kunpeng was enveloped in a piece of light, unaffected by the scorching sun's true fire, and carried Hongjun directly to the center of the sun.

  At this time, the flames in the central region spewed out tongues of fire, turning into dragon-like flames that roared towards Kunpeng.

  Kunpeng let out a cold snort, flapped its wings once, and a strange, icy, yin-energy gust of wind howled forth, extinguishing those fire dragons.

  At this time, a majestic and solemn big bell appeared in the sky, covering Kunpeng and coming towards him, emitting an aura that made people involuntarily feel awe. Hongjun stretched out his hand and pointed, a stream of mysterious yellow energy floated out, and the big bell spun uncontrollably above the two men's heads, unable to fall down.

  The bell rang without wind, emitting a vast and unparalleled bell sound. The massive energy fluctuations produced an invisible wave that generated enormous destructive power, even the flames in the sun star suddenly dissipated. The sound waves of this bell possessed a peculiar penetrating power, as if ignoring defense, only some innate defensive spiritual treasures could block it.

  The bell's tolling sound arrived, and Kunpeng felt a great sense of foreboding in his heart. He felt his primordial spirit waver, as if the heavens were being torn apart, and a deafening sound exploded in his mind. A tearing sensation spread throughout his body, and the air around him seemed to generate an invisible pressure that pressed down on him, making him feel like a mountain range, weighing heavily on himself. His body suddenly lost control, and he fell directly into the sea of flames.

  Hong Jun took out the green lotus, and the green lotus instantly expanded infinitely, holding down the falling Kun Peng. At the same time, the green lotus scattered a circle of green gas, devouring the invisible ripples produced by the bell sound.

  Primordial Chaos Bell is one of the pre-heavenly treasures, capable of both offense and defense. The bell's sound is melodious, producing intangible waves that can tear apart the Primordial Chaos. The inner wall is engraved with the Big Dipper Star Array diagram, which can borrow the power of the Big Dipper stars to defend against and trap people.

  Hong Jun nodded and said: "This is a kind of strange treasure born in the vast wilderness, but it is destined to be stained with too many karma."

  That chaotic clock saw that ordinary attacks were ineffective and did not dare to launch a full-force attack, so it mobilized the power of the stars in the sky to refine the newcomer.

  In the Taiyang Zhen Gong, Emperor Jun's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he exhausted his mental energy to deduce the origins of the two individuals. However, a massive force in the universe suddenly interrupted his calculations. The black and white dots on the turtle shell, which had formed a numerical array, moved chaotically and uncontrollably.

  Calm down, had to let Tai try to probe a bit, didn't expect to be easily broken by the opponent. I knew about the Chaos Bell's special ability, that sound wave that could break through the void and shatter the physical body of a Mahayana Golden Immortal into mush, also had a direct attack effect on the Primordial Spirit. The opponent's divine powers shouldn't be underestimated, it's better to take the initiative to pay respects.

  Di Jun let out a loud shout: "Taiyi, you are not allowed to be rude!" As he spoke, his figure appeared in the midst of the ten-thousand-zhang sea of flames. Instantly, the true fire of the sun that had been suppressed by the Hun Dun Bell reignited once more.

  Di Jun bowed to Hong Jun and said: "I didn't know you were coming, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

  Hong Jun slowly spoke in large quantities to the other party, his mind dazed for a moment, and at the same time shook his head. Silently sighed: A body of imperial air, able to bend and stretch, is indeed a unique individual, but has an extra dose of overbearing personality, not focused on the great way, what a pity!

  Di Jun saw the other party shaking his head and sizing him up, and hastily asked: "Fellow Daoist, do you have any advice?"

  Hongyuan suddenly realized his mistake and said, "I, Hongyuan, just saw that my fellow Taoist resembles an old friend of mine, and for a moment I couldn't help but reminisce, which made me laughable to you."

  Kun Peng also paid his respects to Emperor Jun.

  Di Jun's expression was one of sudden realization, and he said: "It's only human nature, how could it be wrong? On the contrary, I'm delighted to discover that Di Jun and Daoist friends have such a deep connection, congratulations are in order!"

  At this time, Taiyi held a mixed clock and stepped forward, saluting Emperor Jun and saying: "I have seen the elder brother."

  Di Jun pulled Tai Yi's hand and said to Hong Jun: "This is my brother Tai Yi, we were both nurtured in this sun star together."

  Hong Jun nodded slightly, knowing the roots of the two. Taiyi was the essence of the pre-heavenly fire that had taken shape, originally a person with great fate, born with the pre-heavenly treasure, Hunyuan Bell, but he was too heavy-hearted and righteous, single-mindedly assisting Emperor Jun.

  Di Jun is the first three-legged golden crow after the opening of heaven, born from the true fire of the sun, transformed one step ahead of Taiyi, and has a guiding grace for him.

  Hong Jun said: "This time, I have come to find the pre-heavenly fire spirit root." Before speaking, he had already used his divine sense to scan the entire Sun Star, but did not find the Fusang Divine Tree. There was only one residual body of a refined treasure standing beside the Fire Lake formed at the center of the Sun Star, constantly transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Di Jun said: "Dao Zhang, it's not the right time for you to come. The primordial fire spirit root has already gone missing."

  Hong Jun silently calculated and suddenly opened a section of mysterious heavenly machinery, shaking his head and sighing: "Then I'll disturb Daoist friend's quiet cultivation."

  Originally, the innate Jia fire spirit root was nurtured in the center of the true fire of Taiyang, and it became a divine tree called Fusang. This Fusang divine tree is enormous, almost covering the entire star of Taiyang, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and spewing out the true fire of Taiyang.

  But it wasn't until Di Jun Tai Yi transformed that he wanted to refine the Fusang divine tree, but unexpectedly, although the Fusang divine tree couldn't transform, it also had the ability to manipulate the heavenly fire, and unexpectedly, there was an unformed congenital spiritual treasure, which was the Hetu Luoshu held by Di Jun, which could calculate the trajectory of the stars and constellations in the sky, with a strange defensive power.

  However, in the end, they still couldn't defeat Emperor Jun's combined forces, especially with Taiyi wielding the Chaos, which inflicted heavy damage on them, leaving them to flee with severe injuries. It turned out that the branch that Jiu Tou Mo Shi had snatched from Huo Qilin was actually a remnant of the Fusang Divine Tree.

  Di Jun gazed at Hong Jun's back, muttering to himself, wondering what reason Hong Jun had for asking about the origin of the fire.

  At this time, Hong Jun suddenly turned his head and said to Di Jun: "Fellow Taoist, the Taiyin star above can give birth to a divine being."

  Di Jun remained silent and unresponsive, letting out a cold snort. A chill ran down his spine as he thought to himself: "Is this old Daoist Hong Jun planning to take advantage of those two fairy maidens? If so, I'd rather fight it out with them myself."

  Kunpeng's heart was also filled with dark thoughts, and he didn't expect his teacher to have such a hobby. In the vast wilderness, cultivators were focused on their cultivation, and romantic relationships were rare, but there were beautiful stories like that of Feng Zu and Tian Hua, whose love was as harmonious as the music of the qin and se. Whenever the phoenix is mentioned, the dragon must be present.

  Hong Jun said: "Fellow Taoist has thought too much, I have calculated the heavenly mechanism and know that the god in the Taiyin star is destined to be with you. I'd rather play matchmaker."

  Di Jun was overjoyed and said: "Thanks to the Taoist friend." He had visited her several times before, but was rejected each time. However, his heart still yearned for her deeply.

  Dijun hastily ordered someone to prepare three gifts and said to Hongjun, "These spiritual treasures and spiritual fruits may not be worthy of your attention, but they are also special products of my Sun Star."

  Hong Jun nodded slightly and said: "The friend's kindness is great, but it's not proper to decline." He took the gift and headed towards the Taiyin star.

  Hongjun himself found it laughable that he was playing matchmaker for others, perhaps it was still the lingering affection from the chaotic era of Taiyin, unwilling to let that lovesick woman shed more tears. Cause and effect, can't escape, couldn't help but shake his head.

  Kunpeng saw Hongyuan shaking his head and asked: "Master, is it that going to the Taiyin star won't be smooth?"

  Hong Jun was still confident about this, otherwise he wouldn't have taken on such a difficult task. He just didn't expect that the Taiyin star would give birth to two gods, Xihe and Changxi, which made people headache, but it benefited Emperor Jun, who married two pre-heavenly gods.

  Hong Jun said: "This is not what I meant, I just sighed at the cause and effect of this world, can't escape."

  "What is cause and effect?"

  "Hong Jun said: 'There must be a cause for every effect. The fruit of this life is the cause of the previous life. Don't talk about this life, everything has been predetermined.'"

  Kunpeng said: "Teacher is joking, we are all the first batch of living beings born from the creation of heaven and earth, how can there be a previous life."

  Hongjun smiled but didn't speak, suddenly turning back to ask: "How do you know there's no past life?"

  Kun Peng was stunned for a moment, and then slowly began to think, his whole body in agony.

  He suddenly turned over, made a bow to Hongjun and said: "Master, you must have great magical powers. Please accept me as your disciple."

  Hong Jun said: "You are by my side, and you step in for me. I should preach the Tao for you."

  Kunpeng felt a pang of disappointment, but also helplessness. He bowed to Hongjun and said, "Thank you, Master."
