Chapter 371
As early as several hundred years ago, Kong Chong's grandfather used an incarnation method to leave the Three Realms Cave and go out for a breath of air.
And while traveling and playing in Dongmi Continent, he accidentally discovered this ruin of the Five Olds Temple left by Pan Yangzi.
After breaking the restrictions of the underground palace and taking away the treasures on the top and middle layers of the jade platform.
Because he had a dispute with several great demon kings along the way, the divine power of this incarnation was more than half consumed, and he no longer had the energy to break the Dharma array restrictions on the bottom layer to take out all the jade slips and Daoist scriptures.
Kong Chong's grandfather had no choice but to use profound arts to choose one of the two, the jade slip or the Daoist scriptures.
Without triggering the restrictions, he mastered the Five Olds Heavenly Official Great Handprint divine ability recorded in the jade slip from the air.
And after doing all this.
The incarnation of Kong Chong's grandfather was also exhausted and about to dissipate between heaven and earth.
Fortunately, before it vanished, he timely used his remaining divine power to move this ruin of the Five Olds Temple, which he had broken halfway, to Yiwang Mountain in Jiao State, hiding it deeply. This was the reason for Kong Chong's trip to Dongmi Continent this time.
And at this moment, after asking Chen Hang a few major events in the universe and satisfying his curiosity.
Kong Chong's eyes were shining with brilliance, he was clicking his tongue incessantly, rubbing his hands, and feeling quite emotional.
"That strong man Lu Yusheng actually lived well after taking Zhonglang State away from Xudu Heaven? That is also strange.
But your current Sect Master of Yuchen is Pei Shuyang? The old turtle dragon in the cave knows this person and has dealt with him. It's hateful that the old turtle dragon looks down on me as a junior and refuses to pay much attention to me, otherwise I wouldn't only know a little bit.
And is the Ji Clan Dao Court really only in the corner of Zhengxu Heaven now? Although I heard it from my grandfather, I was worried he was lying to me.
The feng shui turns, damn it! It's finally the turn of this group of bastards to tuck their tails and be turtles; hearing this is just too satisfying!"
After muttering to himself for a while, Kong Chong finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Chen Hang, cupped his hands and smiled, then asked suspiciously:
"But this 'Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture' is a classic of the ancient Dao lineage of the Five Olds Xiangong, such a high-level Dao book... Brother Chen, are you really not tempted and willing to let it go to me?"
Chen Hang's request was only for the Mystic Chamber Water in Kong Chong's hands.
And the conditions he proposed just now were not only to return the Daoist scriptures and jade slips perfectly.
But also to add some wealth as a sweetener to make Kong Chong agree.
Such conditions were not ungenerous.
Especially with Chen Hang's identity as a Yuchen disciple, and in the current situation where he had the upper hand, he still made such promises without being aggressive or using his power to suppress others.
This made Kong Chong feel some emotion in his heart, secretly admiring his bearing.
However, the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" was ultimately a classic of the Five Olds Xiangong.
Pan Yangzi was able to achieve the Dao in a place like the Earth Continent, where spiritual energy was scarce, and ascend to Xudu Heaven.
This volume of the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" contributed a lot; it was indispensable!
And such a heavy treasure had clearly been obtained, yet Chen Hang didn't care at all, as if it were insignificant, and was willing to let it go.
Such generosity truly made Kong Chong puzzled and couldn't help but ask one more question.
"My Yuchen naturally has supreme classics, so why should I covet the methods of others?
Moreover, this scripture is based on the acquired five elements, intending to evolve the innate five elements, which is not consistent with the Dharma path I practice. How can I abandon the root to pursue the trivial?"
Chen Hang smiled faintly at this and said.
The "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" of the Five Olds Xiangong is mysterious and unpredictable, and it can be called a top-tier secret volume.
But if compared with the "Mystic Middle Supreme Void Natural Open Origin Scripture," which is the head of the Yuchen Three Scriptures, it is still more than a notch behind, and the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
Even if the Five Olds Xiangong had not been destroyed, in its heyday in the ancient past, it would not have dared to clash with Yuchen and would have felt inferior.
And this "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" was actually already recorded in Yuchen's Dao Record Hall, and it should have been offered by Pan Yangzi of the Five Olds Temple.
When Chen Hang flipped through the scriptures in the Dao Record Hall, although he did not have enough merit to read the full content of this book, he had also seen a rough summary.
This is why he recognized the origin of this book after just a few glances and broke down its intention of using the acquired five elements as a foundation to evolve the innate five elements.
And since this book has already been recorded and sealed by the Dao Record Hall.
Then its value to Chen Hang is also discounted.
As early as in the Liuhuo Honghua Fan Dongtian, Chen Hang and Shen Cheng and others plotted the "Great Cleansing True Skill" practiced by the Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, and successfully obtained it, bringing it out of the cave heaven underground palace and offering it to the Dao Record Hall, obtaining a sum of Dao merit.
And the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" is different from the "Great Cleansing True Skill" and has already been recorded.
Then even if it is taken to the Dao Record Hall.
This duplicate scripture Dao book will not get any reward for merit, so it is of little use...
At this moment, seeing Chen Hang's words were calm and his attitude did not seem fake.
Kong Chong inexplicably believed him by three parts, scratched his head, and laughed aloud:
"Since Brother Chen is so upright, I won't be coy!
Kong's meaning is that I want to keep one drop of Mystic Chamber Water for myself, take it back to the old turtle dragon in the cave to refine medicine, and use it to curry favor with that dragon-headed old turtle.
As for the remaining eight drops of Mystic Chamber Water, Kong can return them all to Brother Chen!
And there is no need for treasures or benefits. As for these Daoist scriptures and jade slips, you and I can study them together, no need to divide them, how about that?"
And after saying this, he was afraid that Chen Hang would not be tempted, so he struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly added:
"Although Brother Chen said the 'Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture' is not consistent with your Dharma path, this book is after all a top-tier secret volume. Even if it is just for drawing inferences and sparking inspiration, it is always good.
And this Dao book is even more formidable. The divine ability recorded on it is called the Five Olds Heavenly Official Great Handprint, which is a formidable killing move of the Five Olds Xiangong. I heard that only the true disciples of the Five Olds Xiangong can practice it!
Back then, Pan Yangzi used this divine ability to fight all the demons and ghosts of the netherworld and the evil spirits outside the universe, and his name was famous!
Since Brother Chen practices the orthodox immortal Dao, this great immortal Dao divine ability is something you must not miss! Isn't such fate heaven-ordained?"
Chen Hang was quite surprised by Kong Chong's words.
His eyes narrowed, revealing a thoughtful look.
Kong Chong was willing to give up eight drops of Mystic Chamber Water, and he already had fifteen drops in his hands.
Together, that made twenty-three drops.
According to the records in the Yuchen Daoist scriptures, for those achieving a First Grade core, twenty drops of Mystic Chamber Water are enough to deal with the Golden Light Solar Flame disaster during core formation.
Jun Yao's core formation back then was exactly this number.
And if he could obtain twenty-three drops, he would have a surplus of three drops, which could be prepared for emergencies, which was generous enough.
As for the Five Olds Heavenly Official Great Handprint on the jade slip.
Although Chen Hang had heard of this method and knew it was one of Pan Yangzi's proud means, relying on it to kill countless demons and ghosts.
But the Yuchen Dao Record Hall seemed not to have recorded this divine ability, and he did not know if Pan Yangzi had not offered it back then or if there was another reason.
However, the value of a great immortal Dao divine ability goes without saying.
If he could practice it, he would definitely profit, and after core formation, he would have one more great means to deal with enemies!
However, Kong Chong's behavior, not even wanting treasures or wealth, being willing to give up the Mystic Chamber Water, and even wanting to study the Daoist scriptures and jade slips with him.
Such generosity.
It seems this person must have other plans and would not be without requests.
Chen Hang said to Kong Chong:
"You are so generous, could it be that you want me to free you from the Three Realms Cave? To tell you the truth, I am afraid this matter is beyond my ability."
Kong Chong shook his head and said:
"Although I want to seek freedom, I will not make things difficult for others by making this request.
As things stand, Kong only has two conditions."
He held up two fingers and said:
"First, I want to ask Brother Chen to help me interpret this volume of the 'Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture,' and I hope Brother Chen can be selfless and agree to this request."
"Interpret this volume of Daoist scriptures?"
Chen Hang smiled and nodded slightly:
"This is easy, I can agree."
A look of relief appeared on Kong Chong's face, and he hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.
The "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" is a classic of the Five Olds Xiangong and belongs to the orthodox immortal Dao.
Honestly speaking, it is a Daoist book of the immortal Dao.
And Kong Chong, due to his bloodline origin, practices the Innate Divine Dao, which is not the same path as the orthodox immortal Dao.
Immortal Dao scriptures have always been known for being obscure and mysterious.
The hidden language of the mystic schools within is truly as vast as the sea and impossible to exhaust.
Not to mention Kong Chong, an outsider, having a headache.
Even most orthodox immortal Dao practitioners need the guidance of their sect elders to understand the key points.
And the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" is after all a top-tier classic.
If it comes to the degree of obscurity and difficulty, it will only be deeper, never shallower!
At this time, Kong Chong happened to meet Chen Hang, a Yuchen disciple.
For him, it was undoubtedly like sending charcoal in snow; such a great opportunity naturally could not be missed!
Although there is no lack of high-level giants in the Three Realms Cave, those creatures who dared to follow Tian Yiyan to raise an army and rebel against the Dao Court back then were naturally all famous great divine ability holders in the universe, which is why they had such spirit.
And these descendants, more or less, also obtained some legacy from their predecessors and were not easy people.
Like Kong Chong's grandfather.
He once swept away several great demon kings of the South Sea demon tribe with just an incarnation, which was truly fierce!
However, Kong Chong's grandfather has now fallen into seclusion after spending a large amount of his life essence to ask the old turtle dragon to carefully calculate Kong Chong's future, and I am afraid he will not be able to break out of seclusion within a hundred years, so it is difficult to help Kong Chong interpret any Daoist scriptures.
As for other powerful creatures in the cave.
Kong Chong's grandfather offended almost all these creatures in his early years because of his unscrupulous actions.
Under such circumstances, even if those creatures let bygones be bygones and were willing to interpret this "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" for Kong Chong.
Kong Chong would never dare to ask them for advice.
If they had ill intentions, they would only need to play a trick while interpreting the Daoist scriptures.
Kong Chong would suffer a big loss and have no words to say!
This is also why Kong Chong needed to use a drop of Mystic Chamber Water to curry favor with that old turtle dragon, which was to find a temporary great backer for himself while his grandfather was in seclusion.
And Chen Hang is a Yuchen disciple, although his cultivation is not too high, but in terms of knowledge, he should be brilliant.
Having him interpret the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" is naturally not a difficult task.
And in the previous incident, Kong Chong also roughly saw Chen Hang's character, guessing that he should disdain to do those secret calculations.
Having him interpret the Daoist scriptures for himself, Kong Chong was at ease.
"As for the second thing..."
At this time, seeing Chen Hang agree to the matter of interpreting the Daoist scriptures, Kong Chong also had his distracting thoughts eliminated, no longer having any worries.
He looked at Chen Hang, his robes fluttering without wind, and a sudden surge of heroic fighting spirit rose, like angry waves hitting the shore, aggressive:
"Back in that Weiyong State, I saw Brother Chen's majesty. Now that we have the fate to meet, I wonder if you can teach me a thing or two?"
He had already heard the famous name of the Eight Sects and Six Schools until his ears were calloused.
In the ancient era, it was precisely because of the combined efforts of the immortals of the Eight Sects and Six Schools that Tian Yiyan suffered a miserable defeat, which also implicated his ancestors being imprisoned in the Three Realms Cave.
Now that he finally had the chance to meet a disciple of the Eight Sects and Six Schools.
Seeing that Chen Hang was not the type of person who was difficult to deal with, Kong Chong naturally wanted to try, and his original suppressed thoughts gradually became active, wanting to personally ask for advice and gain some knowledge!
And for this competition, Chen Hang naturally would not refuse.
He also intended to see the ability of the descendants of Tian Yiyan's former subordinates, so he readily agreed. In this way, the two could be said to hit it off.
"Brother Chen is indeed a straightforward person!"
Kong Chong laughed aloud, took out an ice cup, first took a drop of Mystic Chamber Water from it, and then handed the ice cup to Chen Hang.
Chen Hang took it and looked, seeing that there were exactly eight drops of Mystic Chamber Water inside, with pure and full essence, not stained with half a bit of mixed Qi, clearly truly superior, nodded slightly, and put it away.
"Please."
He flicked his sleeves, set up two meditation cushions, sat on them, and opened the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture."
After Kong Chong cupped his hands, he also sat on the other meditation cushion.
With the three supreme classics of the "Primordial Truth Scripture," "Divine Sect Jade Book," and "Open Origin Scripture" as a foundation, Chen Hang's current vision is far from what ordinary immortal Dao cultivators can compare to.
And after entering the Xiaoming Great Marsh, there were even more infinite Daoist treasures in the Dao Record Hall. Using the ability of the True Dharma Realm, he also read many of these Daoist treasures that did not need Dao merit to exchange.
Under such circumstances, not to mention comprehension, just purely interpreting the hidden language of the mystic schools in this volume of the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" for others is naturally not a difficult task.
And time passed in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
After speaking the last sentence, Chen Hang also put down the "Five Elements Spirit Platform Secret Essential True Scripture" in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:
"Just interpreting the hidden language within took three days. This Daoist book is worthy of being a classic of the Five Olds Xiangong, obscure and difficult to understand.
Regarding the scriptures after the Primordial Spirit, the profound principles recorded on it are difficult for even me to understand. Fortunately, this time it was only interpreting the hidden language. If it were to explain the meaning of the scriptures, it would be far beyond my ability."
Kong Chong took the Daoist scriptures handed over by Chen Hang, his expression thoughtful, frowning and silent.
It was not until a long while later that he sighed:
"Although this book is an immortal Dao scripture, if it can be understood, it will also have great benefits for me, but understanding it is not easy..."
He shook his head and looked at Chen Hang.
The two looked at each other, both understanding in their hearts.
"Please!"
Kong Chong laughed aloud, first opened the forbidden gate, wrapped himself in a streak of five-colored mist, and flew into the sky in an instant, disappearing from where he was.
Chen Hang flicked his sleeves and followed closely behind.
And after exiting the secret place in the mountain belly and arriving in the sky, he only heard Kong Chong give a long whistle, and there was a vast and loud sound in mid-air, and then he saw a peacock with a fine crown, wrapped in five-colored divine light, standing proudly in the sky, a hundred zhang tall!
Its wings flapped, covering several miles of mountains and rivers, the light surging, extremely dazzling!
"Innate divine monster, it really is a five-colored peacock."
Chen Hang shot a divine light from his eyes and thought to himself.
