Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 145 Securities Investment

"Or perhaps you wish to debate with me on the Dharma of Brahma?"

Seeing that Zaxi was intimidated by him, Sangji immediately pressed closer and closer.

Tashi's face flushed red, and even his body turned red, but he dared not agree.

Everyone knows that Sangji is eloquent and skilled in debate. In his youth, he traveled to the Tibetan region and persuaded countless high monks to cut off their heads and give him their spiritual cultivation, flesh, and magical artifacts!

"Hmph... I won't argue with you."

Tashi turned and left, feeling helpless: "I had already cultivated 'wrathful intent,' and originally intended to provoke this person, causing him to attempt to reach the Dharma King's irreversible stage as soon as possible, and perish from the impact of this [Biyue] gold-certifying blow... but I never expected this person to be so patient! His heart, as white as bone, is so clear..."

Just as the two masters were confronting each other, in the void, Senchen emitted a circle of colorful light from behind his head, sat cross-legged, and smiled as he looked at the several Dharma Kings in front of him. These Dharma Kings each revealed their golden bodies, some with three heads and six arms, some with androgynous bodies, presenting peaceful and wrathful forms... Heavenly flowers rained down, and golden threads surged from the earth.

These are all manifestations of supernatural powers. Many supernatural powers are connected together, and colorful light converges, causing chaos in the heavenly secrets.

"Haha... Morosh, your juniors are quite amusing."

Temple Dust looked down and laughed heartily: "I've long heard that you, Monk Mi, are eloquent and persuasive. Why don't you hold a Dharma assembly and let us witness your talent first?" "Fellow Daoist, you jest."

Moroji was emaciated, standing atop a golden statue with a blue face and fangs, looking ferocious and menacing. He was so thin that he seemed about to die at any moment. Upon hearing this, he simply put his hands together and said, "If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to see this entertainment, you only need to send out a few more disciples to join you all for some amusement." Although his words were somewhat yielding, they also showed some restraint.

Furthermore, in his eyes, Sangji, Zhaxi, and even the disciples of Moyun Cliff who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage were all like pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep. "You big monk, you're not far from mastering your third supernatural power..."

A jade pot and a jade cup appeared in Si Chen's hand. He poured himself a drink, glanced at Moroji, and said with a sigh.

A cultivator in the Purple Mansion realm can reach the early stage of Purple Mansion realm by mastering one divine ability, and the middle stage by mastering two divine abilities.

The third supernatural power is that of a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, also known as a "Great True Man." Similar to the "Great Cultivator" in the Qi Refining Path, they have an overwhelming advantage over early and mid-stage cultivators, and are therefore highly respected.

In this world, True Lords have disappeared, and the peak Purple Mansion cultivators with the Four Divine Powers are also focused on seclusion, pondering methods to obtain gold, and rarely make a move. Great True Persons are the top forces of a major power.

"Sen Chen... what benefits did that old demon 'Su Wu' from the Azure Bird Tribe give you that made you back down to this extent?"

Just then, another Grand Master of the Purple Mansion spoke up.

He was dressed in a plain robe, with an ordinary face, but carrying a wooden sword on his back, he was actually a great sword cultivator in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

"They are just some spiritual objects. Since Fellow Daoist Suwu wishes to obtain the gold, I will naturally grant his request."

Si Chen drank another cup of wine and chuckled, "I'll settle accounts with the Bluebird Department after this securities lending event..."

The group of early and mid-stage Purple Mansion Dharma Kings dared not respond, knowing that this Great Master Sichen was narrow-minded and skilled in divination.

The Bluebird Division is likely to face a lot of trouble ahead...

But they didn't care. Without mastering supernatural powers, they would never be able to enter their field of vision. They only talked about how great the Azure Bird Demon was.

"The appearance of the 'Bi Yue' signifies chaos throughout the land... I think this already has a lot of meaning."

"Heh heh... How vast is the world? Now only the ancient Shu region is in chaos, while the southern border and the east are nothing but children playing house... And what about the secret realm and the Taiyi Xuanmen further east? If you use this as proof, I'm afraid you'll die and your cultivation will vanish immediately!"

"I think that Fellow Daoist Su Wu must have other plans. We just need to wait and see..."

The sky was dark, and the silver moon hung high in the sky.

A dark cloud drifted in from nowhere, and a cold rain began to fall softly.

A certain cave dwelling.

Li Rulong sat cross-legged, with several spiritual items and pills placed beside him, all at the Foundation Establishment stage, waiting for the opportune moment.

"Given the princess's power, it's already a rare opportunity for her to grant me one; I must seize it at all costs..."

"This cave dwelling was previously only usable by great demons, but now it's been given to me... However, the only other items that can aid in breakthrough are at the Foundation Establishment level, which is better than nothing..."

His golden scales gleamed, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind: "If that Suwu Demon King fails to break through, I will surely die... If it succeeds, it will be better for me than taking a [Biyue] Purple Mansion Spiritual Object... But whether it can cultivate supernatural powers is still only a one or two percent chance."

The difficulty of achieving supernatural powers is evident.

But if he misses this opportunity, he might not even have a 10% chance of success in the future!

Let's begin!

After sitting in meditation for a long time, with clouds and mist rising around him, Li Rulong felt that his essence, energy, and spirit had been perfectly harmonized. He immediately uncorked the bottle and swallowed a pill. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, his eyes widened in shock: "This isn't the 'Three Talents Purification Pill'... This medicinal power... far surpasses that of a Foundation Establishment Pill!" "Little Princess?"

"Impossible, she doesn't even have the authority to mobilize the spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion!"

Li Rulong felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he had fallen into some kind of scheme again, and his heart burned with anxiety.

The Purple Mansion Great Elixir was incredibly potent, continuously stimulating his Dao Foundation, attempting to transform it into divine power, but ultimately falling short, unable to break through smoothly. "Sigh..."

Just then, a hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out, like the cawing of a crow at night.

Inside the cave, another demon appeared out of nowhere.

He wore a silver robe, had unusual features, and stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching Li Rulong: "In the end, the push was too much... lacking that bit of foundational accumulation, no matter how much you pile it up, it will be difficult to quickly achieve the Purple Mansion... but I can't wait any longer."

"The Demon King Suwu?!"

Li Rulong felt a pang of despair. Just as he was about to steel himself and use his secret technique to dissolve the demon, he discovered that all his magical power was completely immobilized.

The cave suddenly darkened, and then wisps of bright silver fire appeared.

Its eerie glow was hidden, its light not escaping, concealed as if in the void, its flame like the radiance of the moon, hidden in the clouds... Li Rulong was extremely familiar with it; it was none other than the "Mysterious Yin Silver Fire" of Pushan Jun!

Even Pusan-jun, a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, ...

This was the only thought that crossed Li Rulong's mind, but he was horrified to discover that the "Mysterious Yin Silver Fire" was actually emanating from his own mouth, nose, and seven orifices. "That pill just now... was it a human pill, refined by Lord Pushan?"

"I actually swallowed a Purple Mansion cultivator, and one with combined supernatural powers at that, yet I still can't break through?"

Li Rulong felt sorry for himself, knowing that with his talent, he would probably never be able to reach the Purple Palace in this lifetime.

He gave a bitter smile, and his body was enveloped by the "Mysterious Yin Silver Fire," transforming into rising clouds.

The clouds and mist were multicolored, and vaguely resembled the shapes of dragons and tigers.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving only a crystal-clear pill with a dragon and tiger intertwined in its place. "The Dragon-Tiger Pill has finally been made... It's just a pity that this person failed to achieve the Purple Mansion realm, thus lacking some of the medicinal power."

"Fortunately, Li Rulong and Pushan Jun are both fortunate, each possessing the destiny of a dragon and a tiger. Now that the dragon and tiger have converged, they have formed a great elixir... which can still provide some relief." The old man in the silver robe spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, and his figure vanished instantly.

"The one-year period has come to an end."

In the cave on Taibai Island, in the Xiaohuanhai Sea.

Fang Qing perked up and watched the live stream intently.

Then Sangji and Tashi, along with other Tantric masters, stood together and arrived at a lake.

A waning moon hangs high in the sky, and the lake resembles a full moon. In the center of the lake stands a silver platform, upon which sits a huge silver plate covered with various complex and mysterious demonic scripts.

In the surrounding void, there might be hidden golden bodies, or great demons from the sea, as tall as mountains, concealed in the clouds and mist, and there might be celestial palaces, all quietly waiting.

While the masters like Sangji wield great influence in the outside world, here they are but insignificant figures, standing far away, gazing at the lake and the silver plate.

Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted in, and wind, frost, rain, and snow began to fall.

Amidst the moon's reflection in the cold pool and the wind, frost, rain, and snow, the figure of an old man in silver robes suddenly emerged from the high platform, stood atop a silver plate, and proclaimed in a loud voice: "I, the demon 'Su Wu,' have troubled you all to come from afar to witness today's attainment of 'Bi Yue'!"

Before he finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and palaces appeared one after another around him.

Its steps are made of jade and snow, and osmanthus flowers are everywhere, like a celestial palace on the moon, covered with a layer of dim light.

It is the first of Bi Yue's supernatural powers, "Taiyou Palace"!

As soon as Taiyou Palace was completed, wind, frost, rain and snow fell, and the cold air was biting. The Dao Foundation cultivators retreated in fear, and many cultivators who cultivated the Fire Virtue, even with the protection of their Purple Mansion elders, were pale and injured.

"The Frost and Rain Relief!"

As the frost and rain fell, the waning moon in the sky shone brightly, as if imperial dew was flowing down with the rain, seeping into the Taiyou Palace in fine strands.

Suddenly, the world went dark again. Even cultivators who had mastered pupil techniques could only see an incomparably deep black curtain that enveloped the entire Taiyou Palace. The darkness was like a writhing serpent, vaguely gestating something.

It is precisely the "light all being gathered"!

In the void.

Mai Chen also stared intently at the scene, sometimes frowning, sometimes clapping in admiration: "What a magnificent old demon Su Wu... We cultivators of the Purple Mansion use supernatural powers to seek the Golden Nature, the Elixir Nature, the Buddha Nature, and the Divine Nature... In fact, they are all the same thing. By burning through the four supernatural powers to obtain the Golden Nature, one can attain the fruition, which is called 'consuming the Golden Nature to attain the fruition,' also known as 'attaining immortality through enlightenment'!"

All the methods for proving the nature of gold throughout history have ultimately aimed to obtain that trace of gold essence!

"Fellow Daoist Suwu has accumulated profound knowledge and skills; your golden nature is already being nurtured, awaiting only the breaking of its shell... at which point you will ascend to Buddhahood!"

Morosh clasped his hands together, a smile on his face, but his eyes were all gold as he stared intently at the darkness.

The darkness surged and rolled, then suddenly contracted, becoming like a chicken egg, yet riddled with cracks, as if something was about to hatch.

Crack!

A powerful force descended upon it, causing heaven and earth to resonate, and even the crescent moon trembled.

In this world, cultivators, no matter where they are practicing, seem to hear a harsh, hoarse cawing of a crow.

The heavens and earth are overturned; this is the first supernatural power, "Overturning Heaven and Earth!"

However, when the fourth supernatural power manifested, the darkness failed to dissipate smoothly.

Amidst the cawing of crows, a hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly rang out:

"The position of gold changes, and even supernatural powers cannot respond!"
