"Cough, cough," Deng Chan Yu coughed once, which caused the distant Nuwa, who seemed to be dozing off, to glance at her. She waved her hands continuously to indicate that everything was fine on her side, and only then did she speak in the mental connection.
"The memories have all been recovered. This Yuzhang is clearly a primordial spirit, said to be human-faced and bird-bodied, with two green snakes hanging from his ears and another two under his feet. He is the sea god and wind god of ancient times. It is said that a single flap of his wings can create massive waves spanning three thousand li, and another flap can take him up to nine thousand li in the heavens. In the sea, he can transform into a giant fish several thousand li long. When a person walks under his shadow, it may take years to reach the end. Does this sound familiar?"
The phoenix was most excited: "Isn't this talking about the Kunpeng? Is Kunpeng the same as Yuzhang? Is it a manifestation or an avatar?"
Deng Chan Yu emphasized: "These descriptions refer to both the Kunpeng and the Yuzhang. Remember when Zhenyuan Zi used to guess which few Daoist paths were in the hands of the Kunpeng?"
The moonlight listened quietly as the Phoenix recalled and said: "Stealing, splicing, devouring, and looting?"
Deng Chan Yu looked at the strange path in front of her, shaped like a scallop, and said: "My memory was a bit hazy just now. I checked it out, and it seems that the Stealing Path is at work. If my guess is correct, the Kunpeng must have stolen Yuzhang's destiny in the past. However, he is not a sage after all, and his control over the Dao won't be much stronger than that of a monkey just learning to walk upright. This has led to many mistakes and omissions."
Yuzhang lost his own destiny, and according to common sense, he should have been forgotten by the Era of Infinite Chaos. However, he was not completely forgotten. He didn't know how this guy went to the Cloud Domain, and then what he wanted to do. But based on the plot of the usual story, a character who lacks something will often try to obtain what they lack, in order to prove their existence. So it is likely that this Yuzhang is a stereotypical villain who wants to steal the memories of the people in the clouds."
Deng Chan Yu's speculation was the most reasonable, and when Yueguang relayed it to Yunxiao, Yunxiao also affirmed that it was correct. The probability was high, and it should be about right.
Deng Chan Yu added two more sentences: "It's said that Yuzhang and Zhuanxu had a good relationship. Perhaps it was through Zhuanxu's connection that Yuzhang entered the Cloud Domain."
Zhuanxu is one of the Five Emperors. This guy never did anything good throughout his life. At that time, the human race was powerful. Emperor Jun's heavenly court was destroyed, and Hou Tian's heavenly court had not yet been established. The human race had once possessed the ability to ordain gods in a relatively short period of time during this era. They could not ordain too powerful gods, but it was no problem to ordain a few mountain gods or river gods. Both Zhuanxu and Yao Emperor had once ordained their children into gods."
This Yuzhang should have been granted the edict of Zhuanxu during that time, thereby becoming the ruler of the Cloud Domain.
Deng Chan Yu could only provide some intelligence support for her to adjust the Stealing Path, but it was definitely out of her hands. The affairs in the Cloud Domain still needed Moonlight and Yunxiao to come up with their own solutions.
With cause and effect, and with traces of the past, Yunxiao's memories no longer showed any signs of being erased after she fully understood the true identity of the opponent. This Qu teaching Saint slightly thought about a way to deal with it. Hidden enemies are inevitable, but as long as you appear and strike face-to-face, she is not afraid of any enemy under the realm of sages. That's just her confidence."
The Dao has emotion and faith; it is formless and actionless, capable of being transmitted but not received, attainable but not visible.
The lonely figure of a human-faced bird-bodied being wandered in the Cloud Domain, mumbling words that no one could understand. As ancient deities, they were endowed with many innate skills by the Heavenly Dao, which were typical of those who are born knowing them. After Hongjun combined the Dao, he felt that these skills did not fit well with his own Xuanmen cultivation. Therefore, they were all abandoned.
Abandoning does not mean it cannot be practiced, and it can also be cultivated through force.
Yuzhang only has a very small part of his destiny left, along with a little hazy memory. It's not possible to cultivate anything with just a few sentences. The reason he keeps muttering is simply because this is the last of his memories.
The green snakes on his ears and those under his feet had long since died. Yuzhang was in a state of confusion, not knowing how long he had been wandering in this world.
In fact, Deng Chan Yu's guess was wrong. The relationship between Yuzhang and Zhuanxu was not very good, but extremely poor, almost like wanting to devour them alive.
Yuzhang also held the post of plague god in the ancient pantheon of gods. Zhuanxu's sons, including one of the Four Great Demons of the Era of Infinite Chaos, Taohu, were killed by the plague on Yuzhang's body. Zhuanxu was essentially a literal "plague-bringer," sending this one to the Cloud Domain and telling him to go and trouble others.
Yuzhang's fate was stolen by the Kunpeng. With the remaining powers of the Wind God and the Sea God, he would create mist over the Cloud Domain whenever it was quiet at night.
I have no future, neither do you.
The creatures in the Cloud Domain have tried to fight back, but they truly can't match the strength. When they went to the heavenly court to complain, they walked halfway and forgot their purpose.
This forgetting was not Yuzhang's ability, but a self-cleaning and self-correction of the Heavenly Dao.
For the Era of Infinite Chaos Dao, Yuzhang was a god without his own destiny. Since there was no destiny, it should not exist, and erasing it was enough. However, Kunpeng's methods were a bit rough and did not steal completely.
The Heavenly Dao's annihilation only reached the early stage of erasing memories. When everyone forgets him, he will disappear completely.
Now he has only a little bit of his destiny left, and the memory erasure is not complete. By accident, it became his passive skill. Later, it was expanded to all memories related to Yuzhang.
Yuzhang relied on this super passive skill to wreak havoc in the Cloud Domain for countless years.
The world consciousness of the Cloud Domain could no longer bear it, and seeing Yunxiao, a fellow species, it immediately embraced her leg and hoped she could solve the problem of Yuzhang.
"Set up the array!" Yunxiao laid down the nine-palace eight-trigram formation, which is very common in Daoist gateways. Yuzhang was completely unaware and stepped into the great array with one foot.
The eight trigrams changed in the most mysterious ways, with the nine palaces bearing the traces of the nine-curved Yellow River array. Layer upon layer, the five elements were inverted. The balance of the five elements within the mist around Yuzhang was disrupted, and the mist rapidly dispersed, revealing his true form.
The moon appeared in the array, looking disheveled and unkempt, and recited the Buddha's name loudly: "Amituofo, the Buddhist monk is not talented. Today, I recite nine volumes of the【Kowtow to Lift Troubles and Pain, Obtain Salvation】 scriptures for the layman. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please be kind enough to forgive."
This is the second volume of her three scriptures, and it has the best effect on salvation.
The moonlight also took out the Buddhist prayer beads that were given to her by Jia Ying and recited one sentence, moving one bead at a time.
Yuzhang roared repeatedly, and this ancient god with a human face and bird body kept smashing against the array. His destiny was stolen, and that so-called ability to flap one wing and stir up three thousand miles of sea waves, or to flap another wing and shoot straight up nine heavens, was chopped in half and broken. Now it's less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
Yunxiao calmly controlled the array, gradually weakening Yuzhang's strength, while Moonlight recited the scriptures at a leisurely pace. With the combined efforts of Buddhism and Daoism, their aim was to subdue Yuzhang.
