Chapter 237 Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace
Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, King Pingbian's heart stirred, and a burning look appeared in his eyes.
"Okay! I promise you, I will communicate with the ancestor about this matter immediately," King Pingbian said.
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingyue chuckled at this time: "Don't rush, the position of God is extremely precious, but it is not so easy to obtain. If you want to obtain the position of God, you still need to agree to my two conditions."
"Oh? I wonder what two conditions?" King Pingbian's originally fiery heart calmed down upon hearing this.
"First, once the old King Pingbian transforms into a divine dragon, he will inevitably become the supreme existence of my Yellow Heaven Dao. It can be said that the fate of my Yellow Heaven Dao is closely related to the Pingbian Royal Mansion. In the future, the Pingbian Royal Mansion must fully support my Yellow Heaven Dao in spreading the Dao in the Northern Lands, and there must be no hindrance. Of course, my Yellow Heaven Dao will also respect the decrees of the Pingbian Royal Mansion. In the future, no matter what difficulties the Pingbian Royal Mansion encounters, my Yellow Heaven Dao will do its best to support it. With such conditions, I can also explain to the Great Celestial Master and ask the Great Celestial Master to bestow the position of God," Gu Mingyue said.
Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, King Pingbian pondered for a moment and agreed, because once his ancestor transformed into a divine dragon and joined the Yellow Heaven Dao to become a god of the Yellow Heaven Dao, it would be difficult to say who would devour whom with the support of the Pingbian Royal Mansion.
At that time, the Pingbian Royal Mansion would devour the Yellow Heaven Dao, and the probability of the Yellow Heaven Dao being used by the Pingbian Royal Mansion would be extremely high.
That's a divine dragon!
Once transformed into a divine dragon, he would immediately sit on an equal footing with the Great Celestial Master, a master of the same level as the Great Celestial Master.
If he then used the imperial court to kill the Great Celestial Master, the chances for his Pingbian Royal Mansion would be greatly increased.
"I have no objection to this condition," King Pingbian nodded.
"Second, I want to invite the Heir Apparent to enter the mountains with me for three years of arduous cultivation and join my Yellow Heaven Dao," Gu Mingyue said, "I will personally accept the Heir Apparent as my disciple and establish the relationship of master and disciple."
King Pingbian's pupils shrank upon hearing this. With his wisdom, how could he not know that this was directly detaining a hostage?
But this was definitely an opportunity for his Pingbian Royal Mansion.
"Joining the Yellow Heaven Dao is possible, but he cannot be an ordinary disciple," King Pingbian said.
"My Yellow Heaven Dao intends to confer the positions of the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper to master the laws of life and death, comprehend the Great Dao of Life and Death, and extend the lives of the nobles of the world. I can directly predetermine him as one of the Southern Dipper or Northern Dipper, making him a future supreme god of my Yellow Heaven Dao, with the hope of succeeding the Great Unifier, mastering the entire Dao lineage, and becoming the future Celestial Master of my Yellow Heaven Dao," Gu Mingyue went all out, "Currently, the positions of the Southern Dipper and Northern Dipper are about to be born, lacking only a bit of incense. If Your Highness fully supports the Yellow Heaven Dao in spreading the Dao, the position of God can be conceived in a few days."
Speaking of this, Gu Mingyue said, "Moreover, my Yellow Heaven Dao has divine medicine that can help the Heir Apparent repair his injuries and restore his appearance, allowing the Heir Apparent to return to his pre-disfigurement state."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, King Pingbian had no more doubts and stood up directly, saying, "Alright, I will report to the ancestor now."
King Pingbian looked happy. He had long been worried about Zhang Xiaohua's injuries. Zhang Xiaohua had even developed a heart demon in his heart because of his injuries, and his entire mentality had begun to gradually distort. At this time, hearing that the Yellow Heaven Dao could actually repair Zhang Xiaohua's injuries, he immediately became happy.
"However, the ancestral vein in the Northern Lands still needs to be concealed to avoid being detected by the Surveillance Office. Otherwise, we will be passive. The Surveillance Office has the Art of Observing Qi!" Gu Mingyue said.
Next, the two talked happily, but Bai Cang's expression became unsightly, and he muttered to himself, "Not good! If the Yellow Heaven Dao controls the White Bone Great Wall and the Northern Lands, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for the demon race to go south."
Just as the Pingbian Royal Mansion was in harmony, Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang were drilling enthusiastically in the cave. Finally, at a certain moment, Zhong Xiang stopped his movements and looked at the lava flowing out. He turned his head and said to Zhang Chen behind him, "It's done, it's reached the eighty-eight feet eight you mentioned."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen stepped forward to carefully examine the molten stone skin. At this time, the stone was stained with jade-like luster and had transformed into jade.
"This is the entrance to the Xun Wind position," Zhang Chen looked at the jade stone wall in front of him. After pondering slightly, he manipulated the fox spirit to fetch a chisel and then said to Zhong Xiang beside him, "Do not damage the jade stone. Melt out a piece of open space for me, melting along the jade stone wall."
Zhong Xiang didn't say much upon hearing this, but carefully manipulated the flames to melt the lava. After thirty or so breaths, dozens of meters of open space were melted out, and a large piece of jade stone was exposed. Zhong Xiang finally noticed something unusual. He saw an oval stone suddenly appear on the jade stone wall.
Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he saw the stone embedded in the jade stone and quickly stopped Zhong Xiang's movements, coming to the stone.
The stone was ten meters in diameter. Zhang Chen picked up the chisel and gently chiseled it, and then saw the entire stone wall shatter, and the stone wall was as thin as sandpaper.
Along with the falling of the stone wall, a dark space appeared behind the stone wall. Zhang Chen looked up, and because there was still lava fire in the stone cave, he saw the Eight Trigrams Furnace in the cave present a jade-like luster, flashing bright rays of light.
Zhang Chen transformed into mist and entered the stone wall, revealing his body, and then looked at the entire underground space with his eyes, and couldn't help but praise, "As expected of the burial place of ancient gods and demons, it is indeed an Eight Trigrams Furnace."
Looking around, the entire underground space was about thirty meters in diameter. The entire underground space was like an Eight Trigrams Furnace cast from jade, and the stone wall that Zhang Chen had chiseled open was one of the eight holes in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
It can be said that the entire underground space is a perfect Eight Trigrams Furnace made of jade.
"It's unbelievable, there is such a place of creation in the world?" Zhong Xiang also entered the interior of the underground space, looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, "How did you know there was such a place of creation here?"
"This is the Great Dao of Feng Shui, a small skill is not worth mentioning," Zhang Chen blurted out, bragging to Zhong Xiang. He knew nothing about Feng Shui.
Zhong Xiang glanced at Zhang Chen, then raised his head and carefully looked at the barrier of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, holding a ball of flame in his hand to illuminate it: "This jade is all top-grade mutton fat jade. If it is all mined out, it will be a big profit. It will surely be as rich as a country, and enjoy a lifetime of wealth."
Then he turned to Zhang Chen and said, "Boy, finders keepers. You have to share a piece of the pie with me for these jade stones. Confucian disciples like this pure mutton fat jade the most. If I take it to the academy to sell, I will definitely make a fortune!"
"What do you know? You are simply a bumpkin. The pattern of this Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace is priceless and cannot be measured by the value of jade," Zhang Chen retorted.
Facing Zhang Chen's contempt, Zhong Xiang not only didn't get angry, but instead humbly asked for guidance, "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist."
"Just watch my methods later." Zhang Chen stood inside the furnace, carefully examining its walls, a pensive look in his eyes.
"Hey, look, there are countless patterns and symbols on the jade walls! How strange!" Suddenly, Zhong Xiang seemed to discover something and exclaimed.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen also leaned in to observe. He saw inscriptions of runes on the walls of the Bagua Furnace. These runes were born from the Great Dao of creation, appearing very profound, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen couldn't understand them.
"These runes are formed by the creation of heaven and earth. If a Yang God expert were to comprehend the Dao here, they might be able to understand some wonderful divine power. It's a pity that you are going to be refined alive by me." A hint of regret appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.
"These runes look so wonderful. After looking at some of them, the natal flame in my body actually becomes active. It's really strange. There must be a great secret hidden within these runes, but unfortunately, I can't understand them." Zhong Xiang seemed to have discovered a great secret and exclaimed in surprise from the side.
Zhang Chen said with a smile, "This is the land of the innate Bagua, containing the supreme laws and rhythms of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and lakes communicate, thunder and wind stimulate, water and fire do not clash. The eight trigrams are intertwined, counting the past is smooth, knowing the future is reversed, therefore the Yi reverses numbers."
Hearing this, Zhong Xiang's breathing suddenly became rapid. His eyes stared intently at the runes that could activate his natal flame, as if glued to them, unwilling to look away. His eyes were filled with fervor: "Such mysterious symbols must be dug down and taken away."
"Don't act rashly, kid. This is my place. If you damage my Bagua Furnace, I will fight you to the death." Hearing that Zhong Xiang wanted to dig away the symbols on the Innate Bagua Furnace, Zhang Chen immediately became unhappy and quickly warned him.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiang turned to look at Zhang Chen, and then said unhappily, "Even if you don't let me dig away the Bagua Furnace, you should at least give me a chance to record them, right? I want to record these runes and take them back to study. No problem, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen remained noncommittal: "Then you have to be quick and don't delay my treasure refining."
"What exactly is this so-called treasure refining of yours?" Zhong Xiang asked curiously while observing the symbols.
"You'll know when you see it," Zhang Chen said unhappily.
After speaking, Zhang Chen shifted his gaze away from the runes. Although the runes of the Innate Bagua contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, they were not something Zhang Chen could comprehend.
Asking him to painstakingly comprehend divine powers? That was wishful thinking! How could comprehending divine powers be faster than directly picking up skills?
Zhang Chen looked at the entire Bagua Furnace, carefully inspected it, and confirmed that nothing was missing. He directly transformed into mist and flew out, beginning to survey the surrounding mountains and terrain, opening his Dharma eyes for the final check.
However, after Zhang Chen opened his Dharma eyes, he suddenly froze, his eyes filled with vigilance, because in his eyes, a mysterious power flashed and disappeared.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
Before Zhang Chen could see clearly, he saw a figure flickering opposite him, already arriving in front of Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen took a closer look, and wasn't it Xie Lingyun?
However, at this time, Xie Lingyun was in a Yin God state, so she was directly seen through by Zhang Chen's Dharma eyes.
"Why is Sister here?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.
"It's a long story for a child without a mother." Xie Lingyun said, "Do you know what this place is?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen was stunned, and then replied, "Isn't this the place of the Innate Bagua that I asked Sister to find?"
"It is indeed the land of the Innate Bagua, but do you know why I quickly found this place for you?" Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen was a qualified straight man, and at this time, he followed up with a question: "Could it be that there is something special about this place?"
"This place is the reverse scale of the Northern Earth's ancestral vein, and it is a place closely monitored by my Inspection Division. This ancestral vein of the earth is connected to the Qi Luck of the Pingbian Royal Mansion, and it is the land where the Pingbian Royal Mansion rose in the past. My Inspection Division monitors this place and can monitor the dragon vein to investigate whether the Pingbian Royal Mansion has the ambition to secede and rebel. This is also one of the important means for my Inspection Division to monitor all the vassals in the world!" Xie Lingyun answered Zhang Chen's questions.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen suddenly understood. It must have been after the previous battle that the Inspection Division came to check whether the Pingbian Royal Mansion had any thoughts of rebellion.
"Is the Pingbian Royal Mansion going to rebel?" Zhang Chen asked.
Xie Lingyun shook her head: "Now the dragon vein here is dormant, which means that the Pingbian Royal Mansion has not yet rebelled. If it transforms into a flying dragon soaring into the sky, it means that the Pingbian Royal Mansion has already rebelled."
Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen with a surprised expression at this time: "Speaking of which, you asked me to find this place for you. What are you going to do here?"
Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Lingyun, but did not hide anything, and directly narrated the matter of refining treasures here. He had only asked Xie Lingyun to find a treasure land before, but he had not explained the reason. At that time, Xie Lingyun did not ask much.
This matter could not be concealed from Xie Lingyun. Later, when he opened the furnace, he couldn't hide it from Xie Lingyun. Moreover, now that Xie Lingyun's inner demon was in his hands, if Xie Lingyun had any thoughts that were unfavorable to him, the inner demon would be sensed immediately.
Moreover, Zhang Chen felt that if he refined treasures, it might cause some disturbances. If Xie Lingyun could help mediate, it could save a lot of trouble.
"Refining treasures? What is refining treasures?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Xie Lingyun's eyes.
This world does not have the concept of refining magic treasures. All the treasures in this world are born from heaven and earth, and it is more appropriate to call them innate spiritual treasures, which are imprinted with various laws of heaven and earth.
As for the treasures that are refined by humans, there has really never been such a concept.
After all, how many years have humans been digging out their mysteries?
It is far from being developed.
Moreover, regarding treasures, it is not easy to say which is stronger, innate treasures or acquired treasures, and there is no perfect standard.
If we talk about magic treasures, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is refined the day after tomorrow, and the Heaven Turning Seal is also refined the day after tomorrow, which has surpassed 99% of the innate spiritual treasures in the world.
The effects of both sides are different, and there is no way to compare them.
For example, you can't compare the innate spiritual treasure that replaces death with the innate spiritual treasure of killing, and such a comparison is unfair. There is no way to compare them.
"When I refine the treasure, Sister will know." Zhang Chen said with a smile: "It's just that it may cause some commotion at that time, and I hope Sister can help me mediate."
