Chapter 398 Undead Herb

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/24 18:07:06
    Chen Yun pondered for a while and decided to ask Jin's mother.

    If it were another divine being, he estimated he wouldn't dare to ask.

    But Jin's mother is different, as she is one of the ancient ancestors in his own lineage.

    The source of his own lineage is Taishan Laojing.

    Taishan Laojun passed down to Jin Mu.

    Jin Mu taught Baiyun Immortal.

    Baiyun Immortal then passed it down to Wang Xianfu.

    Wang Xuanfu passed it on to Zhongli Quan.

    Therefore, if we look at the relationship, the Western Queen Mother is considered the "second generation master" of his own lineage.

    Of course, if one insists on tracing the roots, his lineage can actually be traced back to Yuan Shihou.

    Because according to Taoist mythology, Yuan Shihou is the teacher, or some say the father, of Lingbao Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun is also the teacher of Taishang Laojun.

    Overall, all under the Three Pure Land are true disciples of the Lineage, and those not under the Three Pure Land are subsidiary or crooked paths.

    Thoughts in mind, Chen Yun bowed respectfully and said, "Old Ancestor, my student has a favor to ask."

    The Western Queen Mother asked, "What is it? Feel free to speak."

    Chen Yun said, "I recently eliminated the entire Mengyin Sect, and by chance, I obtained a cultivation technique called 'Pangu True Body Incantation' in a book. This book is formed by the gathering of qi, and the text inside is something I cannot understand. Therefore, I would like to ask if you can recognize the text within."

    The Western Queen Mother appeared to know of the book, saying, "The 'Pangu True Body Incantation' that you mentioned is an artifact from the previous world. The Xie Wu Yang did not recognize its value and could not understand the text inside, so he casually threw it into the library of the Mengyin Sect."

    Oh, that's the way it is.

    Chen Yun had previously guessed that the text presented in the 'Pangu True Body Incantation' was most likely from the previous world, but he could not be certain at the time. Now, hearing this from the Western Queen Mother, he had a rough idea of which Pangu was being referred to in this cultivation technique.

    Without a doubt, it must refer to Pangu, one of the incarnations of Yuan Shihou.

    After all, Master Pangu, who was transformed by Taiyang Laozun, appeared only after the creation of this world.

    However, since the Western Queen Mother has not yet expressed whether she recognizes the text inside, Chen Yun refrains from asking directly and instead waits patiently for her to finish speaking.

    The Western Queen Mother spoke in a calm and measured tone, "If you were to show this book to others, aside from the Three Pure Land, the Three Realms, and the Three Treasures of Heaven, even Purple Weidai might not be able to understand the text. Additionally, your master's ancestor Wang Xianfu, although he is now known as East Emperor Gong and holds a supreme position among deities of postnatal immortality, he still attained his godhood through postnatal means. On the other hand, I am the primordial qi that transformed into Xihua Zhuomiao and am a deity of prenatal origin. Therefore, I have some understanding of it."

    This sentence contains a lot of information.

    Firstly, the Three Pure Land, the Three Realms, and the Three Treasures of Heaven, as well as the Western Queen Mother, are all prenatal deities.

    The Purple Weidai, Wang Xianfu, and other divine beings mentioned, according to the Western Queen Mother's implication, are all postnatal deities who gained their godhood through cultivation.

    This information is very important, as I will be participating in the Investiture of the Gods war soon, and it is definitely necessary to have a certain understanding of various deities.

    What surprised Chen Yun the most was that he had always thought that the Sky Lord Yuntao and the other Six Deities were all postnatal deities who gained their godhood through cultivation, but he had never expected them to be prenatal deities.

    He couldn't help but recall what Wang Xianfu had said to him.

    Could it be that the Sky Lord Yuntao's identity is truly astonishing?

    Then, what is the true identity of the Sky Lord Yuntao? Why did Wang Xianfu say that he might be the fourth deity who has attained spiritual unity with this world?

    Now is not the time to think about these things.

    Chen Yun hurriedly asked, "Old Ancestor, can you teach me to discern this text?"

    The Western Queen Mother said, "Of course."

    Chen Yun was overjoyed and quickly took out the "Pangu True Body Incantation" from the pot sky technique space, wanting Yuer to hand it to the Western Queen Mother. "Please teach me."

    The Western Queen Mother, however, waved her hand and said, "There is no need to give the book to me."

    After speaking, she reached out her hand and lightly pointed, a small glimmer like a grain of rice shot over.

    This glimmer was marvelous beyond description and immediately entered Chen Yun's mind.

    The next moment, numerous text messages popped up in his mind, which were the explanations of the texts within the "Pangu True Body Incantation."

    Chen Yun knelt down and thanked, "Thank you, old ancestor, for not being stingy with your teachings."

    The Western Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Go back."

    Chen Yun bowed farewell to the Western Queen Mother.

    Leave the palace.

    He was about to have Longnv drive his chariot with fei (storm) car wheels to send him out of Kunlun Immortal Realm.

    Suddenly, a woman's voice called out from behind, "Brother Chen."

    Chen Yun turned around and saw that it was one of the fairies who had served by the Western Queen Mother earlier.

    He bowed respectfully and said, "Brother Chen, what is your request?"

    The fairy said, "The master said that distant guests are honored, and as a descendant of hers, you are meeting for the first time. Let me give you a gift as a token of our first meeting."

    Chen Yun had not expected that he could obtain a gift from Jin Mu during his visit to Kunlun.

    Although he did not know what it was yet, he still thanked, "Thank you for your generous gift."

    The fairy reached out and with a gesture, a small jade bottle appeared in her palm. She introduced, "Inside is an elixir of immortality, which can make one an immortal upon consumption and extend one's lifespan to a cycle of time, which is 129,600 years. However, it will not grant you the power to move mountains or change the stars and constellations, but only to prolong your life."

    What?

    The Western Queen Mother gave me an elixir of immortality?

    Chen Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes.

    Who doesn't know about this thing?

    Because the news of Chang'e eating the elixir of immortality and ascending to the moon palace has been spread too widely.

    He really hadn't expected that he would be fortunate enough to obtain an elixir of immortality.

    Chen Yun hurriedly and carefully took the small jade bottle, expressing his gratitude to the Western Queen Mother for her generosity once again.

    The fairy did not let him leave immediately, but continued to instruct, "The master instructed you not to take this drug unless it's really necessary. If one day you truly have no choice but to take it, that's fine, but otherwise, it will not be beneficial to your cultivation."

    Chen Yun replied, "I understand."

    Leave the fairyland and bid farewell to the fairy.

    ……

    After leaving Kunlun, Chen Yun immediately activated his ability to travel through the earth with golden light.

    The distance between this world's Kunlun Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain is relatively far.

    Even though the Golden Light of Traveling through the Earth can fly at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second.

    Chen Yun took over forty seconds to return to Qingcheng Mountain.

    Even, after returning to Qingcheng Mountain, the internal danqi was almost exhausted.

    This was because Chen Yun had previously understood how to refine qi into Danqi, increasing its quantity.

    If before, he might have had to rest on the journey, it would have taken even more time to return.

    Return to the quiet room.

    Chen Yun was not only restoring his Danqi through the practice of martial arts, but he was also recalling the experience of riding in the chariot with storm wheels driven by Longnv.

    That thing was incredibly fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had brought him from Qingcheng Mountain to Kunlun Mountain.

    It felt as if it was directly breaking through time and space.

    More magical than the Golden Light of Traveling through the Earth.

    "The chariot with storm wheels is truly a divine artifact!"

    He couldn't help but feel a sense of longing in his heart, "I wonder if I have the opportunity to obtain such divine artifacts."

    To be honest, Chen Yun was indeed very envious of the chariot with storm wheels.

    However, it belongs to the Western Queen Mother, so he can only be envious of it.

    During the time of restoring his internal energy through practice, Chen Yun began to contemplate other matters.

    "The Western Queen Mother gave me an elixir of immortality, and then had a fairy tell me that if I can avoid taking it, I should. What does this mean?"

    He really couldn't figure it out.

    However, Chen Yun knew that the Western Queen Mother would not act without a purpose.

    Perhaps, the other party has divined into my future and knows that I will encounter certain circumstances, hence the gift of an elixir of immortality?

    He thought about it for half a day.

    Chen Yun couldn't quite make sense of his thoughts.

    Actually, it's not important whether he can understand it or not.

    What Chen Yun deemed important was that even if he encounters problems in his cultivation in the future and fails to make progress, he can still live for an additional 129,600 years with the elixir of immortality bestowed upon him by the Western Queen Mother.

    "The elixir of immortality is the most advanced pill in the world. After I recover with it, I'll see what it looks like."

    Chen Yun retracted the cluttered thoughts in his mind.

    He began to focus entirely on restoring his Danqi.

    After about half an hour, the outside world had already become dark.

    Chen Yun's Danqi was finally restored.

    He opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of impurities.

    "Let me take a look at the elixir of immortality."

    He took the small jade bottle out of the pot sky technique space.

    Chen Yun unscrewed the lid of the bottle and looked inside.

    What he saw was a green pill lying quietly inside the bottle.

    The pill was surrounded by a faint qi, continuously diffusing. After diffusing to a certain degree of concentration, it returned to the core of the pill.

    This appearance was somewhat like the changes in one's true qi when practicing internal energy cultivation.

    Chen Yun stared in awe, as if he could see some cultivation insights from it, but his current "knowledge" was insufficient to fully comprehend them.

    At this moment, he roughly understood why the Western Queen Mother had bestowed him with the elixir of immortality.

    Perhaps, it's not to extend one's lifespan for oneself to take.

    But it's more likely that she wants me to understand the true meaning behind the elixir of immortality.

    "I'm sure I can't figure it out for the moment. I'll meditate on it gradually in the future."

    Chen Yun wasn't in a hurry to fully understand the meaning of the elixir of immortality.

    He screwed the lid back on the small jade bottle.

    Then he put the small jade bottle away.

    At once, he took out the "Pangu True Body Incantation" from the pot sky technique space at the first opportunity.

    Since he knew the meaning of the texts, he could also roughly determine that the "Pangu True Body Incantation" refers to Pan Gu, one of the incarnations of Taishi Tiannong. He was determined to see how marvelous this transformation technique was and whether it could help him with his cultivation.

    "Since it dares to bear the name of Pan Gu, it must be a profound technique. I'll read it carefully."

    Chen Yun, as before, opened the book and began to read it attentively.

    At first, he did not find any profound insights in this transformation technique.

    It's not that there's no difference from the Taoist transformation techniques he was familiar with, but at least the methods of practice are quite similar.

    However, there's one interesting point. The "energy" used in this transformation technique is not fixed.

    For instance, Xie Natura's transformation technique requires using the sky and earth as a furnace, treating oneself as a golden pill for refinement, and absorbing energy from the heavens and the earth.

    Or, for example, the accumulation and refining of body technique taught by Zhao Gongming uses the primordial essence within the body to refine the physique.

    Of course, the cultivation of internal energy techniques also uses the true qi within the body.

    This transformation technique is not like the ones mentioned above. It can use any energy to refine the body, even including divine consciousness.

    Chen Yun was the first time he had seen such an interesting method.

    He estimated that there would be even more interesting things in the future, so he decided to focus his attention and continue reading.

    The result of flipping to the second page was that he saw the first line of text on top and was shocked tremendously.

    The excerpt read: "Cultivate it in your body, and your virtue will be true. There are always nine gates to the method of refining the body, great transcendence becomes Pan Gu!"
