Profound Heaven Demonstrates Methods to Transmit Immortal Arts, Mind Monkey Rebels Against Heaven and Wreaks Havoc on Jade Emperor

Heng Hua's consciousness entered the Dragon Gate. The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth cleansed his divine sense, and his agitated emotions, caused by the Mind Monkey, gradually calmed down.

Unknowingly, he quieted down and experienced the present tranquility.

"The journey through the cosmos is endless day and night. Yin and Yang give birth to phenomena, and Three produces all things..."

A clear Daoist voice suddenly echoed in his ears. Heng Hua looked up.

A Daoist sat on an Eight Trigrams platform, surrounded by over ten disciples. He himself was in a lotus pond.

Looking around, his current form seemed to be a fish?

"That's right, a Koi. These are the memories of the Dragon Gate's master from back then."

Heng Hua settled his mind and focused on listening to the Daoist lecture.

The Daoist first spoke of the changes between Yin and Yang, then of breathing techniques and energy circulation, followed by sword techniques and Dao methods, and finally a chapter on the Spirit Sense Mystical Technique. This technique used divine sense to perceive heaven and earth, and upon mastery, one could summon wind and rain and control celestial phenomena.

"Strange! This is actually the application chapter of the Profound Heaven Sect's secret, the Profound Heaven Sensing Method?"

Among the books in the Langhuan Pavilion, there was a mention of a sect from the East Lai Divine Continent era.

The Profound Heaven Sect, once the foremost sect in the East Lai Divine Continent, and currently one of the two sects Heng Hua knew of that inherited the Heavenly Book Dao Method.

During the great upheaval 1,500 years ago, the East Lai Continent sank into the sea, and the Profound Heaven Sect ascended with its entire mountain range. However, in this East Lai Ten Thousand Islands region, many derivative sects of the Profound Heaven Sect still existed.

"The 'Spirit Sense Technique' this senior spoke of is clearly a method for applying the Profound Heaven Heavenly Book. And for me—"

Heng Hua pondered secretly, it seemed the Creation Yuan Convergence Technique could also be used?

Crack—crack—

Heng Hua felt his body undergo a transformation. His fish bones made muffled sounds, and with a clap of thunder, he transformed into a fish dragon.

This was also the memory of the Dragon Gate's master.

The Daoist's lecture stopped abruptly. He looked at the fish dragon that flew out of the pond and clapped his hands, laughing, "Creation, creation."

With a casual gesture, a Dragon Transformation Cultivation Method was imprinted into the fish dragon's sea of consciousness.

"I bestow upon you the Daoist title 'Mysterious Fish'. Cultivate diligently from now on. If you achieve True Dragon status in the future, you may join my disciples."

Heng Hua comprehended this secret Dragon Transformation method. Compared to the incomplete cultivation method within the Dragon Gate, it was closer to his own modified Grand Profound Brocade Dragon Art.

"Indeed, a cultivation method bearing the name 'Profound Heaven', could it be a coincidence? This Mysterious Fish Venerable is actually an unregistered disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect."

The illusion disappeared at this point, and Heng Hua's consciousness returned to the Dragon Gate.

This time, he not only heard a senior from the Profound Heaven Sect lecture but also obtained a chapter on the "Spirit Sense Mystical Technique." Heng Hua was very pleased.

He looked around again. The dilapidated Dragon Gate space was filled with dried and broken spiritual herbs and spirit stones.

"Could this be the Mysterious Fish Venerable's Cosmos Treasure?"

Cosmos Treasures were the most special type of magical treasures.

Only Golden Core Cultivators had the means to open up space and create treasures like Cosmos Rings and Cosmos Bracelets. And this Dragon Gate before him was the Mysterious Fish Venerable's life-bound magical treasure, painstakingly crafted over five hundred years.

It contained a spatial dimension, possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities, and could also deduce the Mysterious Fish Venerable's path to dragon transformation.

"Looking at the weathering of the spirit stones and herbs, it seems no one has tended to this place for seven to eight hundred years. In other words, did that senior die seven to eight hundred years ago?"

He looked up at the golden orb of light in the center of the Dragon Gate space.

Clearly, this was the core inheritance of the Dragon Gate.

But Heng Hua knew his limits and voluntarily withdrew from the Dragon Gate.

The Dragon Gate was left behind by a Nascent Soul-level Dragon Cultivator, and it naturally leaned more towards dragon species. Human cultivators would need to spend several times the effort to obtain the inheritance. And Heng Hua currently lacked cultivation methods; with the Heavenly Book in hand, he had no desire to expend effort for the Dragon Gate's inheritance.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Fu Danwei scrutinizing him up close.

Heng Hua was startled and leaned back, almost falling into the water.

"Old man, don't scare me like that, okay?"

Holding onto the edge of a lotus leaf, Heng Hua barely managed to steady himself.

The old man stood on the lotus leaf and asked directly, "Did you succeed, kid?"

"Hmph—Evil cannot triumph over good. Even with some underhanded tricks, they can't hinder my righteous path of cultivation."

Fu Danwei ignored his veiled accusations and asked, "What did you see in the Dragon Gate?"

"The inheritance of the Mysterious Fish Venerable."

Heng Hua recounted his experience in the Dragon Gate.

After pondering, the old man slowly said, "Don't tell anyone about this. After I leave, you can try to contend for the Dragon Gate's inheritance—never mind, give it to the Big Dipper. Your skill is still lacking."

Seeing Heng Hua about to speak, Fu Danwei shook his head, "You plan to have me try? Impossible. That seal requires Nascent Soul-level means to slowly wear away. I can't do it, and you can't do it in a short time. Let your seventeenth uncle do it. It's a pity your father isn't here. Otherwise..."

Heng Hua's expression darkened. Fu Danwei realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Hurry up and refine the True Dragon Qi."

Fu Danwei gently tapped Heng Hua's forehead and flicked his sleeve, leaving the Dragon Transformation Pool.

A dragon's roar suddenly sounded, and the True Dragon Qi within Heng Hua's body slowly surged.

That was the dragon qi nurtured for a hundred years by the Spiritual Vein of Panlong Island. As the dragon qi circulated, Heng Hua's cultivation level climbed step by step.

Step seven, Heaven Gazing Palace, known as Equal to Heaven.

Step eight, Swallow Golden Core, refine Mind Monkey.

Step nine, Wreak Havoc in Heaven, shatter Heaven Gate.

The True Dragon Qi contained a hundred years of spiritual power, enough to restore Heng Hua to the ninth level of Qi Refining, reaching the "Wreak Havoc in Heaven" stage.

Nourished by the dragon qi, the Mind Monkey not only solidified into a tangible form but also wielded its staff like a dancing golden dragon, accompanied by wind and thunder.

"Next, I will shatter the Heaven Gate with a single strike, break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, and establish my supreme Dao Foundation."

Foundation Establishment, also known as Heaven Gate Foundation Establishment.

Generally, cultivators establish their foundation by observing the mysteries of heaven and earth, stealing the spiritual essence of the Great Dao, and laying the groundwork for their cultivation.

However, the Heaven Book and Earth Canon are different.

With the Earth Canon, Foundation Establishment requires condensing an "Immortal Root" at this stage. Once the Immortal Root is formed, even ordinary talent has a glimmer of hope for becoming an immortal.

The Heaven Book is even more profound, condensing a "Dao Seed" during the Qi Refining stage. After the Foundation Establishment phase, the Dao Seed transforms into the Great Dao Foundation, not only increasing the chance of becoming an immortal compared to the Earth Canon but also offering a glimpse of eternal immortality.

Establishing the foundation with the Heaven Book at this stage is not about stealing heavenly secrets, but about forcefully seizing a Great Dao foundation from heaven and earth, a method with severe tribulations.

Therefore, Heng Hua spent ten years researching corresponding tribulation-avoidance methods through various trials.

Currently, due to his limited resources, he can only choose the Buried Turtle Reef, an Innate Tribulation Avoidance Land, for his Foundation Establishment.

"Finally, I'm back to this step."

True Qi surged within his body, and the Mind Monkey in his mind throbbed incessantly, on the verge of breaking free from the Niwan Palace to act independently.

This is the Wreak Havoc in Heaven.

When the Mind Monkey wreaks havoc, I shall be the Jade Emperor.

This is the Mind Monkey's backlash, a tribulation inevitably faced by the Creation Yuan Convergence Technique.

The Jade Emperor, the main deity of the Heavenly Court within the mind, symbolizes the cultivator's spiritual self.

The Mind Monkey wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Court, vying for the position of the Jade Emperor, signifies the struggle between the inner devils of distracting thoughts and the spiritual self, competing for control of the body.

Therefore, after cultivating to the ninth level, one must immediately begin Foundation Establishment cultivation and forge the Five Elements Divine Mountains to suppress the Mind Monkey. If the Mind Monkey cannot be suppressed, then its victory over the Jade Emperor means Heng Hua's body will be taken over, and the inner devil will become the main body.

However, Heng Hua cannot currently travel to the Buried Turtle Reef. He formed hand seals, and a blazing eight trigrams furnace flew out of his Niwan Palace, re-imprisoning the Mind Monkey.

He severed his own cultivation realm, returning to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

But Heng Hua retained the magical power of the Qi Refining peak, only slowing down the progress of his cultivation and energy circulation.

After resting and recuperating in the Dragon Transformation Pool for a while, Heng Hua returned to Langhuan Pavilion.

He first went to check on Fu Heyi's guest room.

Fu Heyi himself was unharmed, but upon seeing the soil ash on the bedside and at the foot of the bed, Heng Hua's expression turned serious.

The two clumps of soil ash appeared as they were before, but--

There were signs of them having been tampered with.

Heng Hua waved his hand, activating the curse he had previously set. The soil ash at the foot of the bed dispersed.

"In the past few days, have you two been here?"

Howling Fish: "We came twice, but seeing that Young Master Nineteen was as usual, we didn't approach."

So, it wasn't Howling Fish or Heng Shou who accidentally touched it?

Heng Hua immediately imitated Fu Heyi's handwriting and left a letter.

"Howling Fish, place this in Young Master Nineteen's room and take down his 'Closed-Door Cultivation' sign."

"Heng Shou, go pick out a bigger boat. Tonight, we'll hide Young Master Nineteen inside. Be careful not to let anyone notice."

After making the arrangements, Heng Hua headed straight to Fu Xiangfeng's residence to discuss leaving the island the next day.

Someone on the island knows that Young Master Nineteen is with me. I really hope it's not the Old Master himself! Otherwise, escaping will be difficult.

Howling Fish went to Danruo Courtyard and placed the letter in Fu Heyi's room. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Fu Liuhui standing in the courtyard admiring the pomegranate flowers.

He was startled and quickly turned around: "Eighth Miss? What are you doing here?"

"Seeing that the 'Closed-Door Cultivation' sign at the entrance was taken down, I came to find Young Master Nineteen to chat. What is it? Did he leave directly after coming out of seclusion?"

The young lady, wearing a goose-yellow floral dress and a kingfisher hairpin, smiled at Howling Fish.

Seeing those bright eyes, so similar to Heng Hua's, Howling Fish's heart pounded.

Eighth Miss is very perceptive. If she realizes Young Master's intentions, she might inform the Old Master...

Fu Liuhui looked into the room from behind Howling Fish. It was empty.

She beckoned, and the letter written by Heng Hua fell into her hand.

Before Howling Fish could object, Fu Liuhui opened and read it.

"Young Master Nineteen is quite hasty. After his formation was successful, he didn't even have time to bid farewell to his grandfather before leaving the island directly. No wonder I just saw a wisp of yellow energy flying in the air; it must be Young Master Nineteen's Yellow Jade."

The Howling Fish's heart skipped a beat: Wait... Yellow Jade is leaving?

Yellow Jade was the immortal crane raised by Fu Heyi.

According to Fu Henghua's plan, they were supposed to take Yellow Jade with them when they set off with Fu Heyi. But now, for no apparent reason, Yellow Jade had left?

Fu Liuhui tilted her head back, gazing at the blooming pomegranate flowers in the courtyard.

The clusters of flowers were as vibrant and red as fire.

The young girl sighed, "The courtyard Uncle Nineteen chose is truly lovely. It's a shame the flowers bloom for over a month, yet no one is here to appreciate them."

The Howling Fish, with a guilty conscience, felt that Fu Liuhui's words held hidden meanings the more she listened.

"Howling Fish, go back and report to Sixth Brother. I want to admire the flowers here."

"Yes."

The Howling Fish's heart grew heavy, and she hurried back to Langhuan Pavilion.

Fu Henghua had already finalized plans with Fu Xiangfeng and returned to Langhuan Pavilion to select books to take with them after leaving the island tomorrow.

The Howling Fish quickly reported her encounter with Fu Liuhui.

"You ran into Eighth Sister there?"

Fu Henghua recalled the events in the guest room and understood:

"These past few days, I had you pretend Uncle Nineteen was in seclusion. Did you throw a few spirit jade or talismans into Danruo Courtyard to create the illusion of someone being in seclusion?"

When a cultivator is in seclusion, their aura fluctuates. Even with formations to conceal it, some leakage is inevitable.

"No... I didn't."

The Howling Fish added, "But no one suspected anything either. Second Madam usually doesn't let anyone go to Danruo Courtyard. They probably didn't pay attention."

"..." Heng Hua pressed her forehead, sighing.

"Liuhui said Yellow Jade flew away. Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I didn't. But surely Eighth Miss wouldn't lie about something like this, would she?"

Heng Hua let out a wistful sigh.

"You've been studying with me for decades, girl. What exactly have you learned?"

This girl's mind was far more innocent than Liuhui's.

Heng Hua squatted down and pulled out three books from the pile: "Take these to Liuhui. She can use them."

The Howling Fish didn't understand, but she took the books and left.

Heng Hua went upstairs to search Fu Heyi's place and, as expected, didn't find the immortal crane Yellow Jade's "Beast Taming Spirit Tablet" on him.

"The spirit tablet that controls the immortal crane was taken. Combined with the fact that no one noticed for over a month..."

"That girl... she did it on purpose, didn't she? She had to pick this specific time... Oh well, if I don't help her, I won't be able to leave either."
