In the Heaven Receiving Hall of Penglai.
"Chenghui, I'm very pleased that you've come back with a Superior Gold Core," Ning Feng, the current leader of Penglai, said to the young man below in a comforting tone.
Ge Chenghui was not very reserved in front of his master. He said with lingering fear and joy, "I really had a narrow escape this time, but it's all worth it to be able to achieve a Superior Gold Core."
"How can there be a sharp sword without sharpening? Haha, you've been in the sect for 130 years, and you've achieved a Superior Gold Core. Not bad, not bad. " Ning Feng smiled and said, "Well, now that you've achieved a Superior Gold Core, I'll take you to see Perfected Cultivator Shi and let him give you a few pointers. He'll also help you choose which world to go to in the future to seek an opportunity to step into the Hidden Latch of Life and Death."
Ge Chenghui said in surprise, "Perfected Cultivator Shi? Is he in the sect? Can I pay my respects to him? "
After entering the sect, he had heard that Penglai was suppressed by Perfected Cultivator Shi, a Celestial Immortal, and that he was so famous that he was not inferior to the Lord Of Heaven, so he was very curious. However, in the past 130 years, he had never heard Perfected Cultivator Shi preach. In the past, as long as Perfected Cultivator Shi was in the sect, he would preach once every 60 years, so Ge Chenghui had always thought that Perfected Cultivator Shi was traveling outside and couldn't see him.
"As a matter of fact, once you reach the Celestial Being Realm, you'll be able to separate your thoughts and incarnations without any hidden dangers. Therefore, even if Perfected Cultivator Shi goes out, he'll have a thought or incarnation secretly guarding the sect. But in that case, he won't hold a lecture. Only disciples who have reached the top-grade Gold Core Realm can visit him and receive his personal guidance." Ning Feng motioned for Ge Chenghui to follow him to the back hall of the Heaven Receiving Hall. "As for the past 50 years, it's for another reason. You'll know when you see him."
Ge Chenghui nodded, suppressing his curiosity and excitement as he followed his master to a quiet room in the back hall. He saw that under the changes of the restrictive spell, it had become a dark and deep cave. Wisps of cold air were coming out of it, causing the entrance of the cave to be shrouded in white mist.
Ning Feng activated the Green Jade Thunder Robe, and the green thunderbolts formed into a Taoist robe and strengthened Ge Chenghui. "The Cold Light Heaven Splitting Earth Immortal Formation below is not ordinary. With your current cultivation, it is very dangerous, and you won't be able to go far, unless you cultivate Taoist techniques and Natal Spiritual Weapons."
Ning Feng was very clear about Ge Chenghui's strength. If he really wanted to go far, he would be easily invaded by the cold air. After all, the Cold Light Heaven Splitting Earth Immortal Formation was being suppressed by the Northern Dark Heavens Cold Light Talisman. Compared to before, its power and changes were much stronger, and his strength was slightly weaker than when Shi Xuan first formed the superior-grade Jindan.
Along the way, there were towering ice pillars, hanging ice shoots, and cold air and white mist condensed like dragons. Ge Chenghui saw an unusual world of ice. He thought to himself, "As Master said, this immortal formation is not ordinary, and its power seems to be restrained. Otherwise, the Green Jade Thunder Robe on my body would have long been frozen and shattered."
"We're here." Suddenly, Ge Chenghui heard his master Ning Feng's voice in his Divine Sense. He hastily looked around and saw an ice cave in front of him. Inside the cave were layers of icicles and stalagmites, which were shining with a terrifying cold light. Just looking at them made him feel as if his mind was frozen. If he moved forward rashly, it was estimated that under the cold light, his Green Jade Thunder Cloak, his body, his Gold Core, and his vitality would all be frozen, and he would become an ice sculpture.
It was even more powerful than the immortal technique that Immortal Jiang showed during his sermon. It seemed that this was the core of the immortal formation.
And behind these shining ice pillars, through the cold air that was as thick as white mist, there was a thick, crystal clear ice wall.
"Disciple Ning Feng greets Immortal Shi." Before Ge Chenghui could find Ancestral Master Shi, he saw Master Ning Feng bowing respectfully to the ice wall.
Ge Chenghui hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Disciple Ge Chenghui greets Immortal Shi."
An indifferent voice rang out in the ice cave with a slight smile. "Don't be so polite. I came here in the same way."
Hearing Immortal Shi's gentle and friendly tone, Ge Chenghui's nervousness disappeared. Only then did he see a figure sitting cross-legged in the depths of the tall and thick ice wall. The figure was dressed in a plain green Taoist robe, and his back was straight but motionless.
Such a scene made him feel that mighty figures should indeed be so mysterious and strange. That was why he seemed so powerful.
He replied with a smile, "Immortal Shi, I've learned all about your deeds from the ancient books of the sect and the rumors in the outside world. I admire you very much, so I bowed just now not out of politeness, but from the bottom of my heart."
"Well, enough with the compliments. I already know your character, temperament, and experience, "Shi Xuan scolded with a smile.
Ge Chenghui hurriedly said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Immortal Shi."
Shi Xuan gave pointers on Ge Chenghui's temperament, cultivation, and other aspects. Ge Chenghui's eyes lit up as he listened. As expected of a Sky Immortal True Monarch, all of his pointers hit the nail on the head, enlightening him.
"That's all for advice. Too much will restrict your mind, and you won't be able to find your true self and see your true nature. I've also chosen the Boundless World that you'll travel to. You can come to me directly after you enter the Yin Master level. "
Shi Xuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Oh yes, there's one more thing. In seven days, go to Xi Huang. Head north for 635 miles and stop when you encounter a very large sand dune. Then bury yourself under the sand dune and have a good sleep. When it's midnight, immediately activate the Earth Escape Dao Technique talisman on you and escape towards Tianji City. Do not look back, remember this."
Ge Chenghui didn't ask how Immortal Shi knew he had such a Talisman. After all, the power of a powerful figure was beyond his imagination. Instead, he asked curiously, "What is it?"
"I can't tell you, I can't tell you. If I tell you, you won't be able to maintain your state of mind, and all your efforts will be in vain." Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, you can go now."
Ning Feng and Ge Chenghui had to leave. They were puzzled along the way, but since Immortal Shi said so, they didn't pester him anymore and decided to do as he said.
"Master, are all Fairy Immortals so secretive and mysterious?" Ge Chenghui couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene where Immortal Shi sat in the depths of the thick ice wall.
Ning Feng smiled and said, "Can't you guess?!"
Ge Chenghui then realized that it shouldn't be like this under normal circumstances. Was Immortal Shi cultivating some powerful immortal skill or secret skill? Or was he going through the First Heaven's Blight?
Ge Chenghui was surprised, excited, and delighted by the latter idea. Combined with his master's tone, he was even more certain that Patriarch Shi had started to go through the First Heaven's Blight only about 1,600 years after entering the Celestial Realm. All the magical rumors about him were not in vain. Maybe in the future, Penglai would also have his own cave like the Guang Han Sect!
…
Seven days later, according to Shi Xuan's guidance, Ge Chenghui arrived at Tianji City and set off north. Because of the yellow sand and the space crack, he walked very slowly and calculated the distance.
In the evening, Ge Chenghui finally crossed the distance of 635 miles and saw the big but inconspicuous sand dune, which was no different from the other big sand dune he had seen along the way.
Unable to figure out what was so magical about this sand dune, Ge Chenghui followed Shi Xuan's instructions and buried himself under the sand dune. He didn't use any Taoist spells to protect himself, but relied on his body and divine light to defend himself. Then he entered the state of visualization and had a leisurely sleep.
Jindan Grandmaster had a strong control over his own body. As soon as it was midnight, Ge Chenghui immediately woke up from the state of visualization and activated the Earth-escaping Talisman he had prepared. A mass of yellow-brown light wrapped him up.
Just as the escaping light was about to leave, two golden-red beams of light fell from the sky and fell directly into this mass of yellow-brown escaping light with a powerful and solemn aura.
Ge Chenghui was caught off guard. The yellow-brown conveyance light enveloped the two golden-red rays of light and flew towards Tianji City under the yellow sand. He did not stop at all, nor did he have any thoughts of turning back. He did not think about why there were two golden-red rays of light descending and what had happened there. He only cared about heading towards Tianji City.
The escaping light was extremely fast. Even in the harsh environment of Xi Huang, it only took a few seconds for the escaping light emitted by the high-level Taoist spell talisman to travel more than six hundred miles.
As soon as Ge Chenghui entered Tianji City, he heard a few angry roars coming from the sky. Beams of horrifying Taoist spells hit the outside of Tianji City, riddling it with holes and almost collapsing it.
"If I was one step slower, wouldn't I have died outside the city?" Ge Chenghui felt a lingering fear. Then, he remembered the two golden-red beams of light. He quickly looked at them and saw two ice-colored jade hooks with golden-red hidden in them.
"It's a pair of illusory magic treasures!"
Ge Chenghui quickly sank his mind into the core of the magic treasures. After a while, he said with joy, "So this magic treasure is called the Separation and Reunion Hooks. The fight between the Yin God Lords actually benefited me." Then, he remembered that everything was done according to Shi Zhenjun's instructions. He couldn't help but understand the terror of the Heaven Immortals.
…
Half a year after Ge Chenghui got the magic treasures, Shi Xuan closed the Cold Light Sky-Splitting Earth Immortal Array because the last and most violent backlash of the first Deva's Blight had arrived!
A majestic and strange force descended in a fierce and fast way through the trace of Primordial Spirit that was entrusted to the Great Dao. Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit operated at full force, adding all the power to his body according to a secret technique.
At this time, more than half of his body had already decayed. Even the bones and blood had decayed. When the power of the Primordial Spirit was added, a black and white light shone and wrapped the whole body.
Within the light, the body continued to decay, consuming the power of the backlash of the Great Dao. The black and White Light flowed and formed a Tai Chi diagram, suppressing the power of the backlash.
Bit by bit, the body gradually decayed completely, revealing the glass-like Primordial Spirit inside. However, at this time, the power of the backlash of the Great Dao had weakened by more than half. Shi Xuan made a prompt decision. The Primordial Spirit that was entrusted to the Great Dao moved and attracted the power of the Great Dao. The black and white Yin Yang fish merged into the black and White Light.
Suddenly, a huge black and white Yin Yang fish appeared in the ice cave and resisted the power of the backlash of the Great Dao. The remaining parts of the body that had not decayed also shone.
The two shone and the power of the backlash finally began to fade!
After a few breaths, Shi Xuan felt his body lighten. The terrifying, majestic power had completely disappeared. Meanwhile, the rotten body that was wrapped in the black and white light disintegrated inch by inch. It turned into countless light spots and fused with his Primordial Spirit.
After a series of distortions, the black and White Light disappeared. Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged in a plain blue robe. The only difference was that he no longer felt illusory.
The first Deva's Blight, the decay of the body, had finally passed!
