A Detailed Explanation of Combination Dharma Treasures
P. S.: Many people have asked about the Seven-Colored Gourds, the Six Paths Treasure Lamps, and so on.
Actually, this has already been mentioned in the previous text.
Many readers probably haven't paid much attention to this, so here's a summary for everyone.
In the Primordial World and the world of Investiture of the Gods, there were actually combination-type magical artifacts.
These are the Seven-Colored Gourds, the Six Paths Treasure Lamps, the Innate Five Elements Flags, the Four Lotus Platforms, and the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Let's start by talking about the Seven-Colored Gourds.
The Seven-Colored Gourds was originally a celestial vine that appeared out of Buzhou Mountain.
This wisp of immortal vine is a rather famous spiritual root in the Primordial World.
Later, this vine of immortality received a stroke of good fortune, and thus produced seven gourds of different colors.
After the Seven-Colored Gourds matured, it was obtained by several powerful individuals.
Purple: The purple gourd is called the Purple Gold Gourd. It contains a magical purple light. After being refined by Taishang Laozi, it became a treasure that can absorb all things and devour heaven and earth. It is the famous Purple Gold Gourd in the Journey to the West, and its owner is Taishang Laozi.
Bai: The white gourd is called the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. Inside it is a magical white light. After Daoist Lu Ya obtained it, he refined the white light into a magical flying knife, which is specifically used to suppress the primordial spirit. Therefore, it became known as the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. Thus, this white gourd is also called the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. It shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods period, and its owner was Daoist Lu Ya.
Jin: The golden gourd is called the Gold Gourd. It contains a magical golden light. After being obtained by Nuwa, the golden light was refined and transformed into a gourd capable of nurturing wondrous treasures. It is said that Nuwa's Demon-Summoning Banner was created from this gourd. Now, the protagonist Ye Xuan has obtained it and it is on Ye Xuan's person. It will also shine brightly in the future. Its owner is Ye Xuan.
Yellow: The yellow gourd is called the Water-Fire Yellow Gourd. It contains a yellow light. After being obtained by the Sect Master Tongtian, it was refined into two energies of water and fire. These two energies then evolved into the terrifying Xuanbing Cold Energy and the Crimson Flame True Fire. Therefore, it is also called the Water-Fire Yellow Gourd. Its owner was the Sect Master Tongtian Leader.
Green: The green gourd is called the Mystic Green Gourd. It contains a magical green light and was obtained by the Haotian Shangdi. After refining it, it is said to possess infinite vitality. Its owner is the Haotian Shangdi.
Black: The black gourd is called the Black Gourd. It contained a magical black light, which was later obtained by Yuanshi Tianzun. As for its function, no one knows. Yuanshi Tianzun never used it. Its owner was Yuanshi Tianzun.
Red: The Red Gourd is called the Soul-Scattering Red Gourd. It contained a magical red light, which was obtained by Daoist Hongyun. He refined the magical red light into endless Soul-Scattering Red Sand, which can devour the physical body and pollute the primordial spirit. It is extremely powerful. After Daoist Hongyun died, it was obtained by Yuanshi Tianzun. It is now Ye Xuan's magic weapon. Its owner is Ye Xuan.
It is said that if the Seven-Colored Gourds were to reunite, a tremendous transformation would occur, and the protagonist now possesses two of them.

Now that we've talked about the Seven-Colored Gourds, let's move on to the Six Paths Treasure Lamps.
The Six Paths Treasure Lamps, also known as the Six Spirit Lamps, is a set of six divine Divine Lamp that correspond to the six realms of Six Paths of Reincarnation: Heaven, Earth, Humanity, Gods, Ghosts, and Demons.
The Heaven Lamp: It is Glazed Lamp obtained by the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable, which nurtured the Glazed True Fire. Before the Yuanshi Tianzun became a saint, he wanted to use the Glazed Lamp to refine the body of the Yuanfeng, thereby stripping the Yuanfeng of its Nirvana True Fire and increasing the power of the Glazed Lamp. In the end, his plan was thwarted by Ye Xuan. Currently, the Glazed Lamp is in Ye Xuan's hands.
Earth Lamp: It was obtained by Taishang Laozi and named the Eight Sceneries Palace Lantern. This divine Divine Lamp rarely appears in the Primordial World, so its function is unknown. Many people speculate that the Earth Lamp possesses the Eight Trigrams Palace Scenery Fire.
Human Lamp: Obtained by the Empress Nuwa, it is a very famous Precious Lotus Lantern, and only those with a benevolent heart can use this lamp.
The Divine Lamp: It is the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Lamp, which was obtained by the Western Saint Jieyin of the Western Teachings and renamed the Sun-Moon Buddha Lamp by the Western Teachings. However, it was not accepted by the powerful beings of the Primordial World. The Brocade-Furred Rat Spirit in Journey to the West stole the lamp oil from this lamp, as mentioned earlier. In addition, the two wicks of the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Lamp are the famous Qingxia and Zixia in A Chinese Odyssey.

Ghost Lamp: Its name is the Netherworld Spirit Coffin Lamp, which is the companion spirit treasure of the Daoist Randeng Ran Deng. The Daoist Daoist Randeng's true form is the first coffin in the Innate that became a spirit, and the Netherworld Spirit Coffin Lamp is his companion spirit treasure. It is said to have given birth to Netherworld Ghost Fire, which can illuminate a person's three past lives, three middle lives, and three later lives, which is quite magical.
The Demon Lamp: Its name is the Emerald Light Two Forms Lamp. In ancient times, it was in the hands of Eastern Emperor Taiyi and was his magic weapon. It made outstanding contributions during the Witch-Demon War the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Demon King. Later, Eastern Emperor Taiyi perished, and the Emerald Light Two Forms Lamp disappeared without a trace.

Next, let's talk about the Innate Five Elements Flags.
The Innate Five Elements Flags are the Five Elements Divine Flags of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
The flag with a metallic appearance is called the Plain Cloud Boundary Banner, also known in legends as the Gathering Immortal Gathering Banner. It is said that this flag was in the hands of the Holy Mother of Yaochi and shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods period.
(Note: The Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Mother of Yaochi are not the same person. The Queen Mother of the West was the Head of Female Immortals personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun in ancient times, while the King Father of the East was the Head of Male Immortals. Yaochi and Haotian were two of Hongjun's attendants. One of them eventually became the Holy Mother of Yaochi, also known as the Queen Mother of the West, and the other became the Jade Emperor Haotian Shangdi! )
The flag with the wood element is called the Green Lotus Treasure Banner. It was obtained by the Western Saint Jieyin. Later, when Nuwa caused a great disturbance in the Western Teachings, the Green Lotus Treasure Banner of the Western Sage Saint Jieyin, along with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo of the Saint Zhunti, was given to Nuwa as compensation. It is now in Nuwa's possession.
The water-attribute flag is called the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. It was obtained by the Ancestor Minghe. In ancient times, the Ancestor Minghe used this flag in a great battle. As the Ancestor Minghe gradually disappeared, this flag rarely appeared in the Primordial World.
The fire-attribute flag is called the Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner. It has always been in the hands of Taishang Laozi. It is said to have some effect when refining elixirs, but its other supernatural powers are unknown.
The flag with the earth element is called the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. It was in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun and was a powerful magic weapon with considerable defensive capabilities. It also shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods period.
This concludes the content of the Innate Five Elements Flags.
Next, let's talk about the Four Lotus Platforms.
The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit was in the hands of the Saint Jieyin. It is said to possess the Golden Flame of Merit and have inexhaustible power of merit. Sitting on the lotus platform, one will remain invincible as long as one's merit is exhausted.
The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus was conceived by the Ancestor Minghe, who nurtured the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within it. It signifies that nothing is beyond its power to burn, even karma itself.
