"Great Sun Tathagata..."

Ren Piaomiao, having restored the appearance of Qing Yu, gazed at the floating golden handprint and murmured, "The Sanskrit name for Great Sun Tathagata is Vairocana Buddha, meaning illumination, light shining everywhere. Although named after the Great Sun, its foundation still lies in light.

The Great Sun is a gathering of light, not a gathering of Yang fire. Although Amaterasu's palm force contains light, the Great Sun True Fire still occupies too much weight within it, and..."

"It has a hint of 'Flame God Theory'..."

Qing Yu had witnessed the battle between Jiang Haogang and Oda Nobunaga; under the Blood Tears Eye and Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill, even if Jiang Haogang did not completely expose his secrets, the characteristics of his cultivation technique were still unmistakably revealed before Qing Yu.

From Amaterasu's palm force, he could cultivate the 'Great Sun Tathagata Scripture', thanks in no small part to Jiang Muyun's contributions.

The Jiang Family's 'Flame God Theory' was passed down from the Eighth Generation Emperor Lie Mountain, who, during his lifetime, was also revered as the 'Sun God', and had quite a few connections with the 'Great Sun Tathagata Scripture'.

Amaterasu must have used the Flame God Theory to comprehend and thus cultivate the 'Great Sun Tathagata Scripture', a supreme divine skill rarely practiced in the history of the Esoteric Sect.

However, due to the Flame God Theory, Amaterasu's foundation deviated towards the Great Sun True Fire, rather than the path of Tathagata's light.

"Is the Jiang family being used as a cash machine or something?" Thinking of this, Qing Yu couldn't help but complain.

The Flame God Theory and Guanghan Immortal Scripture were both divine skills stolen by Jiang Muyun from the Jiang Family and passed to Amaterasu and Yueyejian. The Jiang Family had indeed paid a lot for the growth of Japan.

No wonder Japan had been wandering overseas instead of attacking the East Sea Coast, as they were waiting for the right opportunity.

With a Patriarch's wife like Jiang Muyun as a spy, how many secrets of the East Province could be hidden from Japan?

Moreover, Jiang Muyun has also joined the Nine Heavens...

"One must admit, she truly is a talent for espionage. If she hadn't exposed herself, perhaps we still wouldn't know who the spy within the Nine Heavens was."

As Qing Yu spoke, he reached out to touch the handprint, feeling the bright Yang fire contained within. "The 'Great Sun Tathagata Scripture' at the initial stage of cultivation mimics the natural principle of sunrise and sunset, but once cultivated, it uses the tangible to cultivate the intangible, employing the tangible and substantial path of the Great Sun to study the metaphysical Buddhist teachings of light.

Amaterasu never transcended the path of the Great Sun; in Buddhist terms, he clung to forms. This brought him a flaw that was not a weakness."

Suddenly, dark energy burst forth, devoid of light or brightness, obliterating the golden handprint with one palm.

This is Xuan Chaos from the 'Primordial Treasure', opposite to light, it embodies pure darkness. Since Qing Yu mastered the Mystic Universe, the preceding Ninth Layer realm also underwent qualitative changes.

The past 'Primordial Treasure' varied in power between each layer, but now, under the rule of the Mystic Universe, they have a tendency to progress alongside each other.

Like this Xuan Chaos, it can now extinguish Amaterasu's palm force with Qing Yu's hand. In a sense, even solely cultivating Xuan Chaos offers a chance to break through to the Strongest Realm.

'Primordial Treasure' consists of nine martial arts capable of reaching the Strongest Realm, unified into the ultimate Mystic Universe.

Thus, Qing Yu's understanding of the Mystic Universe is far from complete. His reluctance to absorb the Mystic Universe Sky Crystal is proof.

"All things have their counterbalance; since Amaterasu hasn't transcended the tangible, he has his weaknesses. Though the sun hangs high in the sky, dazzling and unmatched, it's not without its counter." Qing Yu smoothed his clothes with a light chuckle.

Not to mention, the Southern Border's Rebellion Heaven Bow and Sun Stealing Arrow can greatly harm and counter Amaterasu.

However, this damage assumes that the archer's prowess is not weaker than Amaterasu's. If it were a Divine Communication Realm shooter, the Sun Stealing Arrow might not claim the sun before it gets burned by the sun.

"But, to truly counter Amaterasu, one must remove Yueyejian, the woman."

Amaterasu and Yueyejian complement each other as sun and moon, Yin and Yang. With Yueyejian's supplementation, Amaterasu eliminates this weakness; to plot against him requires further strategies.

............

Three more days passed. In Zhenwu Sect, on Chonghe Peak, an ethereal aura quietly rose, as two figures emerged from Tianxuan Pavilion, Qing Yu and Xuanzhen.

Days of seclusion and healing had allowed Qing Yu to fully recover, even more so than before.

After all, having fought a battle against such formidable opponents as the Six Emperors, gaining no insights would be unreasonable.

And Xuanzhen also gained significantly from this retreat. Over the days, Qing Yu used secret techniques like 'Dongxuanzi's 36 Forms' and 'Bao Puzi' to enhance Xuanzhen's power and improve him greatly.

So much so that his complexion became noticeably rosier, no longer appearing cold and aloof. It seemed he had been over-nourished.

As the two walked out of Tianxuan Pavilion, the barrier dissolved, revealing a slightly different scenery from usual.

Amid the Zhenwu Seven Peaks, unbeknownst to them, wisps of white mist had appeared, enveloping the entire Zhenwu Sect, making the already extraordinary scenery resemble an immortal realm on earth.

This indeed resembles some kind of immortal realm, for these white mists truly isolate the Zhenwu Sect from the world, creating a secret realm akin to a paradise beyond the earthly realm.

That's right, the Zhenwu Sect is about to merge with the secret realm.

"Is it really necessary to do this? To merge the Zhenwu Sect with the secret realm," Xuanzhen said, "Once the Zhenwu Sect is isolated from the outside world, the dominance of the Taoist sects will definitely be affected. Your control over the sects will also be weakened."

"Therefore, I want to create a secret realm that can be accessed and exited, while also defending at critical moments." Qing Yu gazed at the faint white mist and spoke.

The Zhenwu Sect is located at the borders of Central Province, virtually positioned at the side of Daqian's heartland, which isn't exactly safe.

Previously, it was alright with Daqian as long as relations didn't sour, but now that they have, staying as safe as a fortress is a bit unrealistic.

Besides, the emperors are gravely injured now, especially the Sixth Emperor Po Yun's spiritual sense that was extinguished by Qing Yu and the Sword God; otherwise, Daqian might have already attacked.

If we don't make preparations during this rare moment of safety and wait until the enemy strikes to think about defense, it would be rather foolish.

Therefore, Qing Yu plans to expand the secret realm and integrate it with the Zhenwu Seven Peaks to form a natural spatial barrier to fend off enemies.

"Merely relying on such a spatial barrier won't stop the battle body in the united state of the Six Emperors, unless a supreme warrior sacrifices themselves to protect the secret realm. However, there are other ways."

Qing Yu surveyed the Zhenwu Seven Peaks and said, "The Zhenwu Seven Tribulations Array uses the peaks as foundation, tapping into the mountain and earth vein energy. I plan to fully connect them to the earth veins and seize control of the surrounding earth veins from the Human Dao Will.

This will not only reinforce the secret realm, but also allow a desperate move to ignite the earth veins in times of need, completely disrupting the dragon veins of Central Province and damaging both the enemy and us."

Being located at the side of the heartland has its advantages, for at least if you are determined, Central Province would indeed experience calamities like an upheaval.

Qing Yu possesses martial arts, including the Ten Directions Destruction, which manipulates the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. In the worst case, both the people and the land of Central Province would be buried together, and we'll see who suffers more.

Just like the saying, all things counteract each other; the weakness of the Human Dao Will lies in the dragon veins. Aiming at the dragon veins is the greatest threat to it.

"Currently among the Taoist sects, Dragon Tiger Mountain is forced to seal itself, and the Supreme Taoist Sect has only a master and a disciple, whose relationship isn't very good either. Luo Fu Palace... haha, it's almost gone. Apart from my Zhenwu Sect, who else can dominate the Taoist sects with thousands of affiliated sects and temples?"

"By merging with the secret realm, the Zhenwu Sect won't lose its ability to enter and exit. As long as I'm here, the status of the Zhenwu Sect will only ascend further, and eventually, it might even become a Taoist sacred land similar to White Jade City in the past."

Qing Yu gazed at the other six peaks revealed amidst the mysterious clouds and laughed aloud.

Sometimes, creating a bit of mystery increases authority. Places merged with the secret realm forbid entrances and exits, making access very difficult at least. But the Zhenwu Sect can access it as long as there is a magic door, which makes what others cannot do appear within the Zhenwu Sect, thus increasing reverence towards the Zhenwu Sect and the Daoist Lord.

As for why the Zhenwu Sect can achieve what others cannot, it's naturally due to Qing Yu's profound understanding of space. Check out the Mystic Universe and Boundless Eternity for insight.

Just as he was speaking, Qing Yu sensed something and smiled inexplicably, "Speak of the devil, now, Luo Fu Palace is gone."

························

Luo Fu Mountain, amidst the light smoke of a large Taoist sect.

The once solemn Taoist palace is now bloodstained, littered with corpses, as Yun Zheng holds a Pure Yang Sword in one hand and a wooden box in the other, slowly making his way into the Upper Pure Hall.

"Brother Zhu, and this Daoist Lin, long time no see."

Yun Zheng looked at the remnants of Luo Fu Palace gathered in the Upper Pure Hall resisting stubbornly, without any killing intent in his eyes, instead showing an indescribable sense of nostalgia.

It's been several years since that Double Ninth Festival debating conference, and now, thinking back to himself at that time and looking at his former enemies, Yun Zheng feels no emotional upheaval, only serenity.

During that debating conference, Chunyang Palace came with high spirits but fled in disgrace.

Yun Zheng was defeated by Zhu Kong, heavily wounded.

Senior Brother Yun Lai was defeated by Lin Jianfeng and died.

Master True Master Tianyang was defeated by Hua Yufei and died.

The Chunyang Palace fell overnight, sheltered under Dragon Tiger Mountain, even offering its absolute skills to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

If it weren't for Yun Zheng encountering the greatest turning point in his life then, Chunyang Palace might have already disappeared. After all, Daoist Lord Qing Yu showed no mercy to enemies. Had Chunyang Palace remained under Dragon Tiger Mountain, it would certainly be annihilated now.

But if remains if, Yun Zheng made the right choice, and thus he received the deserved rewards.

Now, it's time for Luo Fu Palace to face its crisis of destruction.
