Chapter Thirty-Four: Heaven's Wrath and Earth's Fury, Drawing a River into Land

  The second update is here! Please support me!

  Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong is a protective Dharma of the Sanqing Dao Gate, similar to the Western Orthodox Eight-Nine Xuan Gong. It is one of the top body-refining Dharma in the world.

  It is said that the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Merit and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Merit are the same, which is a physical refining technique of the Witch tribe at the time of the initial witchcraft calamity. It is called the flesh body nine turns, with power to prove the way, its source is the technique refined by Pangu Tianwang.

  Strictly speaking, these two methods are actually one. Because the Taoist Sanqing has a complete bloodline transmission, it can merge the 36 heavenly gates and 72 earthly fiends of the Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong into one, so it is called Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong.

  Legend has it that Pangu had performed this technique to an inconceivable realm, thus being able to create the universe in a single thought and transform into multiple heavens within the blink of an eye.

  Unfortunately, Pangu opened the sky and fell, transforming into heaven and earth and all things. His primordial spirit split into the Three Pure Ones, his essence and blood evolving into the Wu tribe. Although both have inherited Pangu's legacy, the Three Pure Ones lack Pangu's bloodline, making it twice as hard to cultivate this method. The Wu tribe, on the other hand, lacks a primordial spirit, making it impossible for them to comprehend Pangu's Heavenly Way.

  The twelfth ancestor, Wu, with his robust physical body, shook the vast expanse, and became the overlord of the vast expanse. The Three Pure Ones studied the Pangu Heavenly Way, obtained the true transmission of Hongjun Laozu, and attained the sacred position that would not be worn out for millions of kalpas.

  Although the nine-turn Xuan Gong was released in a brilliant light in the hands of the Wu tribe, the Three Purities were transformed from the original spirit of Pangu, and naturally there were also some in their hands. However, since all three had no intention of taking the path of proving the Dao through force, they put it aside.

  Later, Sanqing became a saint and improved the Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong, making it the Daoist Zhentai Shen Gong, which was given to his disciples for cultivation.

  That divine one war shocked the heroes of the many treasures Taoist, Wu Dang Sheng Mu and Yu Ding Zhen Ren are cultivating this achievement.

  Especially after the many treasures of Taoist Dharma later followed the virtuous heaven to transform Hu into Buddha, achieving the multiple treasures of Western Buddhism, and also mastering the two sacred great methods of Western teachings, Buddhist and Taoist cultivation, moral integrity advancing, not inferior to the strong elders.

  In the Western Teachings of the Two Saints, although they obtained the Thirty-six Transformations and Seventy-two Transformations from the Wu tribe, they did not have a method to unify them. In the end, they could only change the Heavenly Gaze Thirty-six Transformations and Earthly Fiend Seventy-two Transformations into two separate great divine abilities.

  This is also why in Journey to the West, when Guanyin Bodhisattva incarnated as Patriarch Subhuti to teach Sun Wukong, he asked him whether he wanted to learn Tian Gang or Di Jiao. This was because without a chance encounter or the blood of the witch tribe, wanting to thoroughly cultivate one hundred and eight kinds of divine powers and unify them would inevitably lead to backlash.

  However, the Xuan Gong split ultimately had its shortcomings. Unable to do otherwise, Quan Ti had no choice but to add his own Golden Body Relic to make up for it, and called it the Eight-Nine Xuan Gong.

  Under the heavens, nine is the ultimate number. The meaning of eight and nine implies a lack of one, which means it cannot be combined into one. However, compared to the Taoist nine-turns mysterious skill, it is slightly inferior.

  Even if the many treasures later entered Ling Mountain, bringing with them the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Skill, as saints they naturally had proud bones and were unwilling to borrow from the Three Pure Ones' method. They could only lament that the Western Teachings' luck was insufficient, their divine powers not reaching the heavenly numbers.

  Even so, in the Battle of Sealing the Gods, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong's physical strength after practicing the Eight-Nine Mystical Arts still amazed and shocked the Three Realms.

  And this Nine Turns of the Profound Mysteries, was actually passed down to Red Boy when he was very young by Bull Demon King, because Bull Demon King himself had cultivated the Nine Turns of the Profound Mysteries to a very high level. Moreover, in the Taoist school, although the Nine Turns of the Profound Mysteries were revered as the ultimate divine art, they did not impose any restrictions on it, except that it could not be transmitted outside the sect, and disciples were not prohibited from practicing it.

  Even so, among the three Qing sects, those who cultivate the nine-turn Xuan Gong are only a handful of people. The reason is that it's too difficult to practice. In addition to having a strong physique and bloodline, one also needs countless heavenly treasures and materials, consuming an enormous amount of time.

  Therefore, many Sanqingmen cultivators practice the sacred Dao passed down by their sect's saints, but ignore that extremely powerful Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong. Only some guardian heavenly gods, due to limited options, have no choice but to rest.

  At this moment, by the withered pine stream, a young man in white clothes stood tall and handsome, standing by the water. The mountain wind blew his black hair into disarray, but his face was calm and unruffled, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment, with stars twinkling between his opening and closing eyes, amidst a vast and profound expanse.

  He is the master of the dry pine stream fire cloud cave, the Great Sage Infant King Red Boy.

  It has been five years since Hong Haier released the Blood Beast from the Xuehe Secret Land and obtained the Blood God Tendon.

  For five years, Honghai has been unable to eat due to a blocked throat. He has devoted himself to studying the great methods of numerology in his hands, including the "Shangqing Secret Talisman", "Blood Spirit Classic", "Nine Turns of the Mysterious Skill" and Zhenyuanzi's "Sleeve Universe".

  However, his cultivation was making rapid progress. Although he had always been unable to break through the Golden Immortal realm, Hong Hai'er felt that his own cultivation was still growing slowly, just like building a dam to store water. When the reservoir is full, opening the floodgates will surely be an earth-shattering momentum.

  Sweep away everything, and soar into the sky! Hong Haier had a faint feeling that this day was not far off.

  Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong, containing the ultimate principles of yin and yang, the great way of creation, was originally a practice method cultivated by Pangu Tianwang. It includes 36 heavenly numbers, 72 earthly numbers, combining 108 kinds of changes, using them at will, all having astonishing abilities.

  If we talk about changes, others might say that the 72 transformations are more than the 36 in number, but this is not true. On the contrary, among the nine cycles of the mysterious skill, the main thing is to use the 36 kinds of great divine powers as the main, and the 72 routes of small changes as the auxiliary, complementing each other, inseparable.

  Thirty-six Heavenly Retributions, combined with the Heavenly Numbers, are the numbers of Mahārāja. They directly penetrate the Heavenly Way, and therefore that greedy and foolish Pigsy can cultivate thirty-six transformations to the level of Mahārāja Golden Immortal.

  And the seventy-two earthly fiends are just ordinary numbers, so Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen can only stop at the Taiyi Golden Immortal, stagnating without advancing. If there is no great merit from Journey to the West, that monkey will not be able to break through the Mahayana boundary in this life, let alone achieve the Buddha-like sacred position of victory in battle.

  No wonder after the seal of the gods, Yang Jian's realm stagnated and did not move forward. Although there was progress, it was only compared to Nezha whose cultivation path was completely blocked. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he should have entered the Taiyi Absolute Peak Half-Step Mahāyāna Realm.

  It's worth noting that Yang Jian, as the first generation of humans and immortals, has excellent qualifications, but he is not inferior to Hong Haier's father, Wang Kui Niu. However, up to now, it can be confirmed that even ten Yang Jians are no match for his own father, Wang Kui Niu.

  It turned out that during the battle of sealing the gods, Zhunti Saint had calculated a move for the Tianyi Sect and passed on the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills to the Daoist guardian deity Tianding.

  Also to avenge the Tianxian sect, because Taiyi Zhenren knew that Li's family were all people from the Western world, using the post-heavenly lotus flower to transform and lock Lingzhu Zi's body into cultivation.

  Thinking of this, Hong Haier suddenly felt a bit melancholy. Although he was now also a traverser, he knew that the master of the Three Realms of the Primordial Chaos was the high and mighty Heavenly Way Saint. His own small calculations would eventually fall into the eyes of the saints of several sects.

  Although it is unlikely that someone with a high status would personally take action against an insignificant person like himself, even if they were to casually send out a powerful person, they could easily crush him.

  Thinking about it, however, furrowed his brow, and he looked up at the clear water of the river, feeling the gentle breeze stirring ripples, with a hint of desolation.

  As soon as he made a move in his mind, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the water surface. A stream of clear light flowed out from between his fingers and sank into the bottom of the water.

  "Bang!" A crisp sound, and then the water surface actually split into two halves along with Hong Haier's fingertips, as if being pulled by two huge glass blocks, revealing a wet and slippery path.

  "Boom!" A deafening roar erupted as the passageway slowly rose from the bottom of the water, revealing land, but only halfway before suspending there.

  Looking far away, it is extremely similar to the underwater world in the ocean park of later generations. The aquatic creatures in the dry pine valley can be seen clearly in a state of panic and confusion.

  "Divide the river and turn it into land!" In front of Huoyun Cave, Hu Qiuyue gazed at this shocking scene, but her eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. Then she looked at the back of that person, and her eyes had some inexplicable thoughts.

  "Ugh!"

  A clear and loud dragon's roar suddenly rang out, a huge shadow burst out of the Fire Cloud Cave, transformed into a flowing light, and fell into the Dry Pine Gorge, which was a tens-of-zhang-long green dragon.

  "Boom!" A loud noise, the originally separated water surface, due to the tremendous force, suddenly collapsed and crashed together, stirring up a thousand layers of huge waves.

  "Heh heh!"

  A soft laugh came from the mouth of the green dragon, and it frolicked in the water, stretching its body. Then it raised its head to look at the little red boy on the shore and called out: "Brother!"

  It was Xia Qing, who had fully transformed into a dragon. At this time, Xia Qing could be said to be the "first" master in Huoyun Cave. The Dragon Clan's bloodline was extraordinary, and there were no divine shackles like those of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. Xia Qing's cultivation was making rapid progress, and he was about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, entering the Taiyi realm, leaving Hong Haier and others speechless. Even the Undying Saint Mother had praised Xia Qing without end.

  "Green boy!"

  Jian'er's little green face turned mischievous, and he broke through his own family's magic spell. Hong Haier merely smiled lightly.

  "Brother!"

  Xiao Qing heard this and suddenly transformed into a 7 or 8 year old little girl, throwing herself into Hong Haier's arms.

  "Haha, Qing'er." Seeing Xiaoqing's innocence and cheerfulness, Hong Haier also couldn't help but smile, feeling a warmth in his heart.

  "Ah!"

  Hu Qiuyue saw the two people in the distance, but suddenly sighed and turned around, walking towards the inside.

  It was at the moment of his departure that Hong Haier seemed to have a feeling, turned around and looked towards his own cave mansion...
