Seizing the Spirit God, Drawing Out the Grotto-Heaven, the Wood Virtue Lords' Plans
The ancient Earth Virtue Sovereign Lord used this to forge his immortal position, bringing prosperity to the celestial realm for countless years.
However, during the later great war, various lineages fought over it, and the [Spirit God] was shattered, breaking into many fragments that were then controlled by various factions.
Unexpectedly, the opponent came for this fragment. During this period, [True Lord of Earth Virtue] changed his imagery and authority, and his immortal position was in turmoil. The opponent took advantage of this opportunity to make a move, striking right at his weak point.
As for merging positions to elevate one's rank, attempts have been made before, but the difficulty is no less than attaining enlightenment in ancient times, and success is hard to come by.
It now seems that True Lord of Earth Virtue was well-prepared; inviting fellow Daoists for support was secondary, and he must have prepared many backup plans to ensure his safety.
Upon hearing this, [True Lord Jiming] looked surprised, then nodded slightly in agreement. "I will intervene and stop them from seizing the Spirit God."
"At the end of the Middle Ages, there was an agreement on the Five Virtues; if someone violated it, they would naturally be attacked by all sides."
As soon as he said this, there was a subtle response from some kind of celestial law.
The imagery between heaven and earth changes, and the inherent balance of Yin and Yang in Yin and Yang Wood element shifts, subtly targeting and locking onto the imagery, with the Metal element as its target.
"But since the other party dared to test the waters, they must be confident in their abilities; a single move could have far-reaching consequences."
Then, the gaze of the [True Lord Jiming] statue swept over the Earth Spirit Child and looked at Wang He's figure.
"Tai Zheng, Cang Guang has mentioned you to me. I remember that your family's Heavenly River True Lord also has a significant connection with these two. This time, it's not just about exploring ancient history and the situation of ancient religions, is it?"
Upon hearing the name "Heavenly River," the Earth Spirit Child suddenly remembered something and looked at the person who had come to pay homage to the True Lord with a surprised expression.
"I never expected this person to be that person's disciple. I wonder what his opinion is of Yellow Heaven and my True Lord."
"Back then, my lord provided the other party with many resources, even allowing them to exchange for a Divine Core elixir for self-defense. There must have been some good karma involved, right?"
The Earth Spirit Child's level of understanding hasn't fully reached the True Lord level, so he truly doesn't know the details; otherwise, he would definitely be worried about the other party taking action.
Wang He, standing to the side, remained calm and did not deny it, but instead asked a question.
"That's true, but since Ancestor Heavenly River can't come to the Heavenly Realm, even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. But does True Lord know that High Tier beings in those three realms can already release power through world isolation?"
[True Lord Jiming]'s gaze sharpened.
"It seems he used a celestial artifact to attack. But wait, if he had a celestial artifact, he shouldn't have collapsed."
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, and various possible guesses surfacing, he finally responded to his previous request:
"You may read the classics, but there's one thing you need to do."
He immediately looked at the envoy Rong Xing, who was standing to the side, and gestured for him to make the introduction.
Rong Xing to the statue before introducing the deity.
"Tai Zheng Daoist Taizheng cultivates Yin and Yang. There is a grotto-heaven in our Eastern Continent that requires the guidance of a cultivator of this path to open."
"That's an ancient grotto-heaven; there might be many things that interest you."
Wang He was surprised and delighted by what he hadn't expected.
"Since it's related to Yin and Yin and Yang, it might be quite helpful for my cultivation."
He immediately agreed.
The matter was settled, and both parties were satisfied.
The Earth Spirit Child completed his mission, took his leave, and kept glancing at Wang He before departing.
It felt like the past was repeating itself, only now his status was worlds apart from that person's.
A month has passed. Under the Shelter the True Lords of Qinghua Eastern Continent, the impact of the collision between earth and metal has been greatly suppressed. The image of the collision between the Floating Earth in the sky and the Qi of Geng Metal can be vaguely seen, but it is still in the exploratory stage.
Wang He discovered that the High Tier forms of existence in the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Stars Galaxy were vastly different.
Heavenly Stars Galaxy emphasizes swift action and decisiveness, concealing its methods and avoiding revealing its authority and abilities.
Within the celestial realm, many True Lords primarily engage in various investigations, striving to uncover the power and authority of the phenomena, seeking ways to avert destruction, and resisting trials on a monthly basis.
Even after Rong Xing, Qing Yang, and Wang He arrived at the location of that ancient grotto-heaven, set up the guiding altar, and shook the hidden grotto-heaven, there was still no sign of a major battle.
Within a valley where yang energy rises, a massive altar is erected, with various spiritual objects of Yin and Yang attributes arranged in formation to transform Yin and Yang and yang power. Wang He manipulates and evolves the principles of Yin and Yang at the center, stirring the Great Void.
At this time, in addition to the two envoys, Azure Dragon Divine Heaven and Clear Radiance Eastern Heaven also had more than a dozen Divine Sea cultivators participating, who would be vying for the internal resources and treasures.
At the center of the altar, Wang He held up the Yin and Yang Chaos Cave with one hand, drawing in the power of Yin and Yang, while releasing it into the Great Void with the other, as if searching for a target island in a vast ocean.
Today marks the eighth day of the process, yet there is still no sign of the grotto-heaven being activated.
Among the participating Divine Sea cultivators, some began to have doubts:
"Since this grotto still exists, and we haven't been able to locate it for so long, could it have drifted away to somewhere else?"
"It's also possible that this outsider cultivator is not a good fit, after all, their cultivation systems are different."
However, these are just self-deceptions. The Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm also has many cultivation systems, and there are quite a few that do not use spiritual energy.
At this moment, Wang He felt a slight stirring in his heart and sensed a certain attraction. He wanted to pull the altar and push the power of Yin and Yang to explore in that direction.
However, the two sides were too far apart and their contact was weak, maintaining only a vague and tentative probe, which made him somewhat frustrated.
"Has this cave become sentient? It's probing around here, seemingly trying to ascertain something."
Left with no other option, in order to strengthen communication and confirm the coordinates, Wang He had to unleash his personal magical artifact, the [Two Aspects Star Wheel].
The [Two Aspects Star Wheel] flew out from the Purple Mansion, and the [Yin and Yang Proof] Six Elements Principles operated, and the principle of creation circulated and generated.
The other party seemed to have confirmed something, and resonated with the Lesser Yang Star Cluster in the Two Aspects Star Wheel, rapidly approaching his location.
As the connection deepened, the altar began to function, determining its location.
In the Yangqi River Valley, a buzzing sound gradually rises, the first Yang begins anew, all things are renewed, and the image of Lesser Yang rises up, endowing this place with Lesser Yang Generation.
Buzz!
Changes occurred, space trembled, and a colossal entity pressed in on this place.
The altar burst forth with divine light, and the power of Yin and Yang entered the void, prying open a portal.
Upon seeing this, many cultivators rushed in without hesitation.
Wang He didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside.
Within the Great Void, numerous magnificent Dharma Manifestation surrounded a cave the size of a chicken egg, its interior bathed in the bright light of the Lesser Yang.
A dragon's roar echoed through the Great Void, as we silently awaited the changes within.
"As expected, this is the Wood Duke. This great being ascended to immortality long ago, and this should be the last trace of it."
Jupiter shines brightly, its wood energy surges, sealing off the surroundings and communicating with the other party.
"Fellow Daoist Cang Guang, by using the Lesser Yang to subdue and combine the various woods, there might be an opportunity to ascend to immortality and leave this realm. What do you think?"
Following Jupiter, the Dharma Manifestation of the Wood element appeared, surrounded by Thunderclap and yin wind.
The phase of Jupiter also has other meteorological fluctuations, such as towering trees and blooming flowers in mid-spring, presenting the energy of Yin and Yang.
