Chapter 456: Lost in Wind Malevolence, Framing Taibai, Establishing Divine Dao Foundation

~17 min read 3,324 words

At this moment, in the Infinite Wind Malevolence, the aristocratic family group was supporting the Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Sky Map above their heads. True Person Gu sacrificed the Four Seas Qi-Gathering Bucket, struggling to accommodate the Yin wind blowing continuously from all directions.

The wild wind howled in the jade bucket, trembling continuously, and the black tide malevolent qi in the bucket surged, still trembling endlessly.

True Person Gu grabbed both sides of the jade bucket with all his might, holding his breath, his face flushed red.

A large hole was broken in the Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Sky Map, making the wrinkles on True Person Xiao's pained old face tremble. He couldn't even care about the fresh blood staining his collar red. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned: "What to do? Just now, the wind malevolence in this place suddenly became chaotic. Caught off guard, we not only injured many people but also lost our way."

"Could it be that we were discovered by the demonic path?"

True Person Zhu leaned against the Mountain and River Phase Tripod and groaned. In order to support this tripod, he was vomited blood by the counter-shock force, and all the bones in his body were broken in seven or eight places.

The children of the various families in the tripod, although they were bait, were also sent out by several major aristocratic families for training. As elders, they naturally had to protect them if they could, and couldn't just let them suffer a tribulation.

At this time, most of the aristocratic family children and immortal sect loose cultivators had entered the tripod, and only a few of Wang Longxiang's, with extraordinary combat power, could still come out to deal with the True Persons.

True Person Zhou Yin looked at Sima Yue beside him with deep meaning.

Now that he and the Great Ancestor of the Sima family no longer had the protection of the Eastern Palace Forbidden Hall, they were standing under the Mountain and River Phase Tripod, in an awkward situation.

The magic treasure Forbidden Hall they relied on had already been heavily injured by the wind malevolence. Where was the brilliance of the original Lightning Fire Refining Gold Hall? It was mottled with copper rust, the hall door was tattered, and placed in Sima Yue's palm, it was like a piece of waste copper dug out from the ground, which couldn't be restored without thirty years of painstaking refining.

Sima Yue, without the copper hall, was like a vicious dog without teeth, a fox without a tiger skin, and his spirit was much lower.

Even the Great Ancestor who had always been arrogant beside him now had the realization of being under someone else's roof, honestly under the guard of several True Persons. The divine light of his pair of copper maces was dim, and the thirty-two divine talismans written on them had been ground away by fourteen, and the remaining ones were also quite tattered.

The two of them were framed by the evil spirits under the red umbrella, lost in the Infinite Wind Malevolence, struggling for a long time, but waited for the wind malevolence riot, and the Eastern Palace Forbidden Hall was instantly heavily injured.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Ancestor still found him useful and protected him along the way, the newly promoted Crown Prince of Southern Jin would have almost died here before he was announced to the world.

Fortunately, the two still had some luck, and happened to meet a group of aristocratic family True Persons who were rolled in by the wind malevolence turbulence. Because the two sides hadn't fallen out yet, they successfully took refuge.

But the aristocratic families taking them in might not have the intention of threatening them to find a way out!

"In the Demon-Burial Stone Platform, it is indeed extremely dangerous! When the Crown Prince Yue found those words left over from ten thousand years ago in the stone hall underground palace, besides the secret map pointing here, what else was left?"

"We were attacked by demonic objects as soon as we came in, and there were wind malevolence invasions and demonic sound ghost realms. The Sima family was well prepared!"

True Person Zhou Yin took out a gold-thread embroidered sachet from his sleeve, summoned a remnant disciple of the Sima family in the tripod, and said: "I ask you, was this sachet given to you by the Crown Prince?"

That Sima family disciple was just a knight accompanying Sima Ying. After Sima Ying was killed by the evil spirit summoned by Qian Chen's demonic sound, Sima Yue abandoned them and fled with the Eastern Palace Forbidden Hall. Almost all those who survived fell into the hands of the aristocratic families. Finding one willing to cooperate was not simple.

And these people were easily abandoned, and there was resentment in their hearts. They immediately said firmly: "They were all issued to us by Crown Prince Yue! He also has wind-avoiding flags and banners, which can slightly stop the malevolent wind, and has ways to weaken the demonic sound!"

True Person Zhou Yin untied the sachet, poured out a foul-smelling incense pill from it, and sneered: "This incense pill seems to have the ability to drive away demons and avoid insects."

"It seems Crown Prince Yue had expected the danger of this place long ago. I don't know what other secrets we don't know, can you share one or two with us!" True Person Zhou Yin pressed step by step.

The aristocratic family True Persons all watched coldly. Sima Yue was sweating profusely, and could only barely laugh and say: "True Person Zhou is serious. When we excavated those relics, weren't you all present? Where did I have the opportunity to hide anything?"

"Then how to explain this incense pill and flags and banners? Could it be that the Crown Prince knew the danger of this Demon-Burial Stone Platform in advance?" True Person Zhu's face flickered between light and dark.

True Person Gu also laughed and said: "Crown Prince, don't hide anything!"

Sima Yue looked back at the Great Ancestor. Seeing that this incomparably powerful senior was now closing his eyes and saying nothing, being extremely honest, he could only carefully say: "My Sima family has explored several times over the past thousand years, and has also heard some clues. It is said that in the cave heaven, ten thousand years ago, it was the Dao lineage of the Fangxian Dao. The Fangxian Dao inherited the inheritance of the Immortal Qin alchemists, with three Fang masters sitting in town, and even excavated the Immortal Qin ruins here. At its peak, it was also a powerful force."

"But ten thousand years ago, a demonic tribulation occurred here. Overnight, the Dao lineage of the Fangxian Dao was completely destroyed, and all living beings in the cave heaven died horizontally."

"You must know that the Fangxian Dao inherited the remaining grace of the Immortal Qin and initiated the brilliance of the Immortal Han. Even at the end of the Han Dynasty, it still retained extremely strong power. Among the orthodoxy, besides three Fangshi who were all Nascent Soul masters, there were also over a dozen other Nascent Soul True Immortals and deities who had not yet attained the status of Fangshi."

"There were hundreds of Yang Spirit masters, and the number of Yin Spirits was countless, far exceeding the current era of Daoist hardship."

"Such a Dao lineage was destroyed overnight. The strangeness in it is hard to explain clearly. Judging from the strange darkness in this place, it should be related to the Nine Heavens."

Sima Yue said this, and remembered the Nine Heavens incarnation holding the red umbrella. He hated it to the bone in his stomach. If she hadn't ground away the Dao mark, how would they have been lost in the Infinite Wind Malevolence and captured by the aristocratic families?

"What is the relationship between this Demon-Burial Stone Platform and the Great Tribulation?" Xie An asked kindly with a peaceful expression.

Sima Yue didn't dare not answer, and said in a low voice: "The Demon-Burial Stone Platform was the main battlefield during the Fangxian Great Tribulation in the past. The stone platform was originally a sealing platform for the Fangxian Dao to pardon the cave heaven gods. During the demonic tribulation of the past, boundless darkness struck, and all the gods were infected by the Nine Heavens demonic, slaughtering living beings wantonly. Later, the corpses of gods piled up like mountains here, and the blood of gods flowed into rivers, gathering into a sea. The demonic god corpses almost submerged the stone platform, hence the name—Demon-Burial Stone Platform?"

"What I know is limited to this!" Sima Yue hardened his heart and suddenly said: "However, Li Taibai once mentioned the term God-Sacrificing Platform, which might be the Fangxian Dao's name for this place. He also warned that there was great danger here, and it is possible he knows more than I do."

The Great Ancestor also slowly opened his eyes and provoked: "Wang Zhiyuan stayed at the Zhong Shan Sanmao Temple for sixty years, painstakingly researching the great secrets hidden in the Jin Ling Cave Heaven, and could even send us to the deeper parts of the cave heaven. He clearly told Li Taibai something. Why not find Li Taibai and ask him about the secrets of this place!"

True Person Zhu sneered: "Where is Li Taibai? I don't know. But the two of you are right in front of us, why look far away?"

Wang Longxiang also said calmly: "What Taibai knows, he obtained from Wang Zhiyuan, and also from the Dao Academy. Now we are trapped in the Infinite Wind Malevolence, Taibai's divine traces are dark, where can we find him? And if there are any secrets related to our safety, how would the Dao Academy hide them? Now the Dao Academy True Person is here, whatever Wang Zhiyuan has gained, just ask him."

The Dao Academy True Person flicked his whisk and nodded slightly: "The secrets in the Demon-Burial Stone Platform, Wang Zhiyuan definitely doesn't know much either, I can guarantee it."

True Person Zhou Yin also laughed and said: "After all is said and done, we must first leave this place and find the road to the Demon-Burial Stone Platform!"

He looked at Sima Yue's smile, which was flickering between light and dark, and felt a kind of smile that didn't reach the eyes, making Sima Yue feel a chill, and heard him say: "Speaking of which, Li Taibai is not here, but Crown Prince Yue has been stuttering and not telling the truth. Could it be that the Crown Prince has no intention of leaving this place and is looking for our fun?"

Sima Yue saw the coldness between his brows, and felt bitter in his heart.

Many things about the Demon-Burial Stone Platform, of course, he couldn't open his mouth, otherwise it would confirm the crime of them colluding with the demonic path. And this abyss full of Infinite Wind Malevolence, he didn't know much about it either. This was a dead end. If it weren't for the scruples about the demonic path, why would he have to take this road?

If he knew anything, why would he be trapped here, waiting in vain for the aristocratic families to save him?

…………

Qian Chen crushed another spirit pill refined with innate clear qi, and Si Qingcheng operated the many Dharma Spirit Divine Servants in the Divine Domain to assist Qian Chen in refining the innate clear qi, making up for the damage to the Yin Spirit.

He glanced at the now neat and orderly regalia, and nodded: "Junior sister is now familiar with the Divine Dao regalia. This momentum is probably three points bigger than the Zhang Tian Shi's, only then can it be considered to have the decency of a princess of the dynasty."

"When I was a princess, I didn't have such momentum. Let alone a princess. Sima Yue became the Crown Prince, didn't he only have a mediocre copper hall?" Si Qingcheng was quite disdainful of the Sima family's treatment.

Looking at the resources continuously refined by those Dharma Spirit Divine Servants and Yellow Turban Divine Generals.

Even she had golden flowers flickering in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "But the Divine Dao is really too profitable. If I occupied this place as a Dao field, I don't know how many immortal merits I could refine every day. Thinking back, the Fangxian Dao occupied an entire cave heaven, and had countless Dharma Spirit Divine Servants to drive, no wonder they could accumulate such a large family business."

"Immortal Dao refining magic weapons, collecting qi and practicing methods, refining materials, all have to rely on one's own hard work. At most, one can take two or three disciples, only then can the master have things to do, and the disciples serve the labor. But proper disciples also have to prepare magic weapons and attack methods for them, as well as various cultivation resources."

"Only the demonic path widely accepts disciples and strictly exploits them. Disciples are not only excellent labor, but also cannon fodder and materials. This is already extremely excessive. But the demonic path is cruel, and not as good as the Divine Dao's management methods."

"Gods are born with long lifespans, and many minor gods use Yin lifespans. It can be said that the labor cultivated by the Immortal Dao can be used for at most several hundred years, while the Divine Dao can be ten times more. Added to the fact that the Divine Dao can enlighten Yin souls into Dao soldiers, and enlighten Divine Servants with incense, the manpower under their command is vast, and doing anything has dozens of times the convenience."

"In this way, the Divine Dao values financial resources the most. Proper masters of mountains and rivers, lords of stars, which one doesn't have vast spirit veins and territories, and countless vassal Divine Servants. If the Immortal Dao is a lonely person, at most having a few Dao companions to help, the Divine Dao is the master of a force, and the resources occupied and utilization efficiency are far beyond the Immortal Dao. Now junior sister is cultivating both immortal and divine, and finally has a bit of the Divine Court's momentum. If you can prove the Immortal Dao, you will also be a Divine Lord in the future, with countless subordinates, and you will be the one with the most vast power among us!"

Qian Chen laughed: "Junior sister, manage carefully, and deduct more oil and water from the Zhang Tian Shi. After I go to sea to break through and return, I might have to rely on junior sister for many things."

Si Qingcheng glared at him: "My father is upright and honest, with clean hands, when did he get anyone else's oil and water?"

Qian Chen begged for mercy: "Good junior sister, I know those Three Mountain talismans, spirit grains, and jade stones of yours are not printed from under the Zhang Tian Shi Seal. They were all painstakingly accumulated by Tao Zhang Tian Shi one by one. It's a pity that he encountered a prodigal daughter. How many years of family foundation did the Zhang Tian Shi have, to be thrown away by you like that?"

Si Qingcheng said this, and couldn't help but blush on her face, feeling a bit ashamed, but hearing Qian Chen tease her like this, she was still so angry that she wanted to kick him off the dragon chariot.

"You speak ill of my father. When I go back, I will also learn from him how you said it!"

Hearing her say this, Qian Chen quickly got up, sat upright, looked straight ahead, and said: "Zhang Tian Shi is resourceful and good at management. Junior sister is more like her father, and also has skills in management. This time the Sima family has acted perversely, I don't know how much the spirit mountains and blessed lands they occupy will be devalued. This is your family's industry. When Zhang Tian Shi disposes of it, it will naturally belong to you. Added to these Dharma Spirit Divine Servants helping to manage, in the future, you will naturally not lack resources. It can be said that apart from ability, everything is empty."

Si Qingcheng glanced at him, pinched the corner of her clothes and said: "Yan Shixiong brother is yin and yang strange, not saying anything good!"

Qian Chen sighed: "I am seriously pointing you out! Divine Dao cultivation consumes more resources. Without a few spirit veins, ten thousand hectares of spirit fields, and continuous spirit mountains, how can you establish a foundation? You can't always rely on Tao Zhang Tian Shi to be greedy!"

Si Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him.

"If the Sima family fails this time, the spirit mountains and blessed lands they occupy will inevitably be liquidated. Yan Shixiong brother, I have some merit here, plus Tao Zhang Tian Shi's support, you can take as much as you can. Such a relationship with the Dao path, you must not be humble. At that time, some people will say things worse than me, but you must not let go of this opportunity because of their few words. The path of the Divine Dao is more particular about wealth, law, land, and companions than the Immortal Dao. You must know that the things you give up, even if redistributed, will not fall into the hands of those who truly need them."

"In the Luo Tian world, I have already prepared permissions for you. In the future, at the Dragon-Locking Well, you can exchange for Dharma Spirit Divine Servants. Then there are those spirit mountains and blessed lands, which are the capital for you to take root."

"The various resources in the spirit mountains and blessed lands, with Dharma Spirit Divine Servants as labor, only then do you have the capital to manage. You ask Tao Zhang Tian Shi for a pardon, and transform the Divine Dao Dharma Body out. This move is called cleverly establishing a name, and others don't know that this newly pardoned god is related to you."

Qian Chen said sternly: "In this way, while Tao Zhang Tian Shi hasn't ascended yet, you have your own industry, which can provide cultivation resources. By using the Divine Dao to assist the Immortal Dao, you can develop better."

Si Qingcheng fell into silence. How could she not know that Qian Chen was vaguely reminding her that there might be changes on Tao Zhang Tian Shi's side, and she needed to establish her own foundation.

Si Qingcheng's fate is connected to the Great Jin. When the great tribulation comes in the future, it will be almost impossible to draw a clear line with these entanglements. Qian Chen has to remind her of the preparations for the tribulation in the future.

The Immortal Dao can be quiet and inactive, but for the Divine Dao to want to not be stained with karma, it is a delusion.

The Primordial Dao cultivates both immortal and divine, monitoring the world, and is the one with the heaviest karma in the Dao Sect. Qian Chen is not worried about Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, not worried about Ning Ning Shimei Ning. These two people's karma is nothing more than personal tribulations. The one he is most worried about is Si Qingcheng. She is the one who will truly inevitably be involved in the Central Lands Great Tribulation.

Regarding these, Qian Chen can't say too much, otherwise it won't be good for Si Qingcheng either.

The two were silent for a long time. Qian Chen suddenly looked up into the distance and said: "Junior sister, I found someone ahead!" ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
