Transformation of the Cave Heaven, Small World!
Chapter 909 Transformation of the Cave Heaven, Small World!
The atmosphere in Demon God Mountain suddenly became somewhat stagnant.
The arrow shot from the Sky-Piercing Bow was so easily broken by the opponent.
They naturally couldn't see Li Miaoxuan and assumed that it was Gu Yuanqing who made the move. Despite being surrounded by the Demon Court and the Asura Clan, Gu Yuanqing still had the strength to defeat the Demon-Slaying Arrow.
This gave the Jiang, Ji, and Ying families a shock.
Although they knew about the clash between Lie Shanyu and Gu Yuanqing back then, the strength they displayed at that time was only at the Hun Tian Undying Realm.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the great gods in the Demon Realm are only at the Shattered Heaven Realm, and those old guys are only at the Undying Chaos Realm. The various families of Demon God Mountain have rich resources, and when it comes to a life-or-death crisis, they don't take the Undying Chaos Realm seriously at all.
What truly surprised them was that Gu Yuanqing had also blocked the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror, but that was only because he was using a borrowed magic array.
Just like in Demon God Mountain, if you, a demigod, rashly ventured in, you would never return, and the major families all have the confidence to do so.
Otherwise, how could the Demon Realm be suppressed!
But the current confrontation is outside the mountain. Being able to block the arrow of the Heaven-Piercing Bow, which is drawn to eighty percent of its full extent, undoubtedly makes them estimate Gu Yuanqing's strength to be a level higher.
"Minister Ji, are you alright?" Lie Shanyu looked at Ji Chongshan with a playful gaze, a half-smile on his face, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm.
These old guys may seem respectful to him on the surface, but they might not really mean it that way.
Therefore, even though the Lieshan clan suffered several losses at Gu Yuanqing's hands, they still did not really take Gu Yuanqing seriously, regarding him as just an ordinary Huntian Undying Great Cultivator.
To them, no matter how strong a rogue cultivator is, even if he has reached the level of a demigod, he still poses no real threat to the Demon God family.
But having suffered such a great loss right after making a move today, Lie Shanyu was in a very good mood, and even changed his address to "my beloved minister".
Ji Chongshan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, handed it to the junior, took a deep breath, steadied himself, and bowed slightly, saying, "It was this old minister who underestimated this person, and I apologize for making Your Majesty laugh at me."
Lie Shanyu said, "My dear minister, you are not young anymore. You must take good care of your health. If you shorten your lifespan, it will be a loss for our Divine Demon Mountain."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Ji Chongshan's face remained expressionless.
Lie Shanyu gave Ji Chongshan a deep look, then smiled calmly and said with his hands behind his back, "Having seen what just happened, why don't you all share your thoughts?"
Jiang Yuanzhen exchanged a glance with the other two and said, "That magic weapon was able to cut through the arrow light of the Sky-Piercing Bow, so it must be a divine and demonic artifact. It seems that this person is indeed from the outside world. According to the rumors, this person rose to prominence in the Floating Realm, but how could such a person come from the mere Floating Realm? I suppose his roots must be in the Dharma Source Realm."
Ji Chongshan's eyes also turned slightly serious: "Such a person was born into a realm and must have been favored by the fortune of heaven and earth. That Floating Realm must have already been promoted to the Exquisite Realm. Within the Exquisite Realm, the Primordial Realm is the leader, and this person is very likely also related to the Primordial Realm."
Ying Wugou was silent for a moment, then said, "We have been cut off from the higher-ups for a long time. Millions of years have passed. Who knows what changes have taken place?"
Jiang Yuanzhen slowly said, "What kind of scenery is inside that mountain is unknown, and therefore difficult to guess."
Lie Shanyu turned to look at Xuan Jing. Losing one of his clones was a significant loss for him. He said calmly, "What are the intentions of my three ministers? Should my Demon God Mountain still take action?"
The three exchanged another glance. They naturally understood what Lie Shanyu meant: if anyone was going to make a move, it should be the three major families themselves; otherwise, there was no need to ask their opinion.
Jiang Yuanzhen remained silent for a while before saying, "Why don't we take another look?"
The so-called foundation is something that diminishes with every movement, and the arrow just now made them change their minds a little.
Lie Shanyu smiled coldly, said nothing more, and simply focused his gaze on the Xuanjing mirror.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.
Something's not right!
Jiang Yuanzhen and the others looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Lie Shanyu slowly said, "The Demon Emperor and the Asura King should not have reacted like this. After seeing that my Demon God Mountain fired an arrow and then made no further moves, they should have retreated. But now, so much time has passed, yet they are still attacking that mountain with all their might."
……
In the Dragon Demon Realm.
The Demon Emperor and the Asura King both changed color slightly when they saw the arrow light of the Sky-Piercing Bow being cut off and the phantom of the God and Demon of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.
But in an instant, it seemed that the solid defense below was fluctuating.
Upon seeing this, the two were overjoyed and exerted their full strength, as if they felt that if they added a little more power, they could break through the mountain and obtain the opportunity within.
Inside the North Spring Cave.
Li Miaoxuan covered her mouth and smiled: "The Heart Sword Dao that comes from the Heavenly Demon Sword Dao is truly unpredictable. If the Demon Emperor and the Asura King were to realize this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood."
Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly: "If Beiquan Cave Heaven successfully advances, I can spare them this time. They thought they could act recklessly just because they control a powerful treasure, but little did they know that their spiritual will is weak. It's like a child wielding a heavy sword, only to injure themselves. This will teach them a lesson. In the end, they are the ones who benefit."
"Not kill them?" Li Miaoxuan asked in surprise.
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "The Demon Court and the Asura Sea are also formidable forces. When their lives are truly in danger, they will awaken on their own. Killing them will not be so easy and will only expose our own strength. Moreover, keeping them alive can also cause some trouble for Demon God Mountain."
Time passed little by little.
The foundations of the Demon Court and the Asura Sea were gradually depleted, and before they knew it, the light of the three-legged golden crow that the Demon Court had transformed into seemed to have dimmed a bit.
The monstrous phantom that had been spying on this place suddenly roared.
The space trembled, like a thunderclap.
The Demon Emperor and the Asura King were startled, and their minds cleared.
At that moment, they finally realized something was wrong. The crazy thought in their hearts vanished instantly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, sending a shiver down their spines.
Their pupils constricted.
"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!"
Looking at the magic array in the mountain below, it appears to be on the verge of collapse, but in reality, it is just an illusion, something we hadn't noticed before.
Their efforts were completely in vain, resulting in the same outcome as when Demon God Mountain attacked with the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror.
Moreover, Gu Yuanqing never used the methods he had used to destroy the Sky-Breaking Bow to attack them, but instead let them do as they pleased.
This shows that firstly, the other party is not afraid at all, and secondly, they still have some strength left!
As they became more alert, they noticed even more problems, feeling as if the mountain was a bottomless pit, devouring the power they had poured in, and using their power as if to do something.
Both withdrew almost simultaneously.
The rays of the sun, drawn down, instantly dispersed, and the blood moon disappeared into the horizon.
The three-legged golden crow that the demon court had transformed into flapped its wings rapidly and instantly escaped the Dragon Demon Domain, fearing that Gu Yuanqing would notice it was leaving and take the opportunity to attack.
The figure of the Asura King was also hidden in the sea of blood, which instantly receded and shrank back into the abyss.
The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Yuanqing had not made a move.
As the Demon Emperor stood atop the Black Sea, commanding his Demon Court, he couldn't help but wonder, "Could this Gu Yuanqing be all bark and no bite? Should I take this opportunity... or perhaps capture the Demon Phoenix Clan?"
It glanced back a few times, but ultimately suppressed its thoughts and didn't dare to turn back. Feeling the power within the Demon Court again, its heart ached as if being torn apart, and it finally vanished in an instant.
The Dragon Demon Realm was in ruins, with considerable losses. The demons breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the retreating Demon Court and Asura Sea. It took a long time for the Demon Dragon Ancestor, the Demon Phoenix, and other great Yin-Yang demons to take flight and head towards Beiquan Mountain. However, Beiquan Mountain had disappeared into the void after the Demon Emperor's retreat, leaving no trace.
Within the North Spring Cave.
Gu Yuanqing had no intention of leaving the Demon Emperor and the Asura King behind, and he couldn't care less about the outside world at the moment.
With the help of the two clans' resources, the path of ultimate yin and ultimate yang is finally complete, and wondrous changes are taking place within the grotto-heaven.
These changes contain the principles of the Great Dao, which are of great benefit to his cultivation, far more important than those of the Demon Emperor and the Asura King.
Guided by Gu Yuanqing's mind, Li Miaoxuan also quietly sensed the changes deep within the cave.
Golden light seeped out from the deepest part of the cave, from the earth's veins, in wisps and strands, like the breaking of dawn, like the beginning of chaos.
Each ray of light contains boundless potential for growth.
At the same time, cool silver light flowed down from the membrane of the cave's dome, and within each ray of silver light was the tranquil stillness of all things.
Yin gives rise to Yang, and Yang gives rise to Yin.
The two origins condense in the heavens and the earth, and when they reach their full potential, they naturally change, one rising and the other falling, one hot and the other cold, one bright and the other dark.
They met in the center of the cave.
They intertwined, spun, and finally passed each other by.
The golden light continued to rise, reaching the dome and finally stopping at the highest point of the cave, where it began to condense inward, becoming increasingly dense, bright, and intensely hot.
Finally, the concentrated power of pure Yang burst forth!
It transformed into a great sun, hanging above the dome of the cave.
Wherever its light falls, every inch of land, every blade of grass, and every wisp of spiritual energy in the cave rejoices, radiating unprecedented vitality.
At the same time, Silver Glory is also declining.
It crossed the depths of the cave, past the ends of those earth veins, and finally sank to the very bottom of the cave, where it also began to condense.
It grew richer, colder, and deeper.
That kind of cold is not death, but the tranquility after all things have fallen silent, the stillness that is indispensable in the cycle of yin and yang.
Finally, with a clear chime, a bright moon was born at the bottom of the cave, facing the sun in the distance.
Where its gentle light falls, everything in the grotto settles and becomes peaceful, accumulating the power for its next burst of vitality.
From this moment on, external reliance is no longer necessary!
The sun shines down, and the power of Yang energy inspires life.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its yin energy nourishing all things.
Between the cycles of Yin and Yang, spiritual energy arises spontaneously, forming a natural cycle that continues endlessly!
Beiquan Cave is transforming into a small world!
Gu Yuanqing stood quietly atop the mountain, a smile on his face as he watched the newborn sun and moon, feeling every ripple that this world stirred deep within his Dao heart.
At the moment when the power of ultimate yang and ultimate yin was perfected and transformed, he seemed to touch something.
Heaven and earth give birth to life, and all things fall into silence.
Life and death, movement and stillness, light and darkness, heat and cold—all these changes intertwine and collide deep within Gu Yuanqing's Daoist heart.
The sprouting of a seed, the withering of a tree; the explosion of a thunderbolt, the condensation of a drop of dew, and even the birth of life from nothingness... countless scenes flashed before his eyes, and the cycle of Yin and Yang clearly manifested in his heart.
He observes the mountains and caves, his mind and spirit merge with the caves, and he becomes the cave himself, personally experiencing every moment of change.
This is no longer a simple law or power, but a manifestation of the Dao, a corner of the Dao of Creation.
Li Miaoxuan was also immersed in this transformation.
Although she could not merge with the cave heaven like Gu Yuanqing, she could still clearly sense everything under Gu Yuanqing's guidance.
The Nine Tribulations True Scripture of the Great Void circulated within her body on its own, with each tribulation seal glowing faintly.
Her path was different from Gu Yuanqing's, so her perceptions were also different from Gu Yuanqing's, and her understanding was also different.
The Great Void Nine Tribulations: Having endured countless calamities, one transcends life and death.
But calamity itself is also a form of destiny.
Each cycle of life and death is a manifestation of the way of creation.
Without tribulation, there is no salvation; without death, there is no life; without the cycle of yin and yang, there is no foundation for the existence of all things.
She also gained a lot of insights, although these insights cannot yet be transformed into spiritual cultivation, but they are resources for the growth of her spiritual cultivation.
A transformation in her celestial realm made her path to immortality much smoother!
Within the grotto, both the spirit beasts and cultivators sensed some changes.
Within the Qian Yuanzong clan.
On the stone steps beside a martial arts training ground, two young disciples sat cross-legged, chatting idly.
"Senior brother, don't you feel..." The one who spoke was a handsome young man with delicate features, who was about at the Dao Fire Realm. He frowned, as if trying to grasp something, "...the spiritual energy seems to be a bit more lively?"
The man he called senior brother laughed and patted his junior brother on the shoulder: "This is normal. I have this feeling whenever my cultivation and understanding advance further. You just broke through not long ago, so your Dao heart is very sensitive at this time."
The boy shook his head: "No, senior brother, sense it carefully."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I think... my sense of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is clearer now. It used to feel like I was looking at things through a veil, but that veil seems to have thinned out."
The senior brother was taken aback. Seeing his serious expression, he also suppressed his smile and closed his eyes to sense it.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"That's actually a bit..."
Before the words were finished, a sudden fluctuation of energy emanated from a secluded meditation cave in the distance.
The two of them turned to look at the same time.
That was the secluded retreat of a Void Heaven Realm deacon.
That steward has been stuck in the Void Realm for many years and has not been able to make any further progress. Half a year ago, he went into seclusion, saying that he could not leave the seclusion unless he transformed himself.
At this moment, the aura within the cave was rising steadily, a sign of a breakthrough!
"Uncle Chen, he..." The boy's mouth dropped open.
The senior brother was also pleasantly surprised, then murmured, "He's been in seclusion for half a year without any activity, why today of all days..."
Before the words were even finished, another aura shot into the sky from another part of the back mountain!
"This..." The senior brother was completely stunned.
The boy suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
"Senior brother, look... the sky seems a little different now!"
