Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 146 Changes in the Golden Position

"The position of gold changes, and even supernatural powers cannot respond!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the void, from the Dharma King to the Purple Palace, looked extremely grim.

"really·………"

The great master carrying the wooden sword sighed, "For eight thousand years since ancient times, countless heroes and great men have died on this path of seeking gold... It's not that they lacked talent and wisdom, but that the changes in the gold's position are beyond human control."

To attain the Gold Realm, one must first cultivate the Four Divine Powers. These four divine powers correspond one by one to the mysteries of the Gold Position, which can then draw the gaze of the Gold Position, thereby cultivating the Gold Nature! However, since ancient times, the mysteries of the Gold Position have changed!

However, it is difficult to cultivate supernatural powers step by step to achieve them one by one.

Even with the four supernatural powers, a Purple Mansion cultivated in this way, seemingly perfect, is like using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill an official of the current dynasty – a joke, and naturally, only death awaits!

Thousands of years ago, those cultivators at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm were unaware of this.

But with so many powerful cultivators dead and so much time having passed, it finally prompted some discerning individuals to realize what had happened.

"I see... Heh, what a change of the Golden Position. Nowadays, many ancient supernatural powers can no longer be cultivated. Even if they are barely cultivated, I'm afraid they will have difficulty sensing the Golden Position."

Master Sichen smashed the wine pot and said angrily.

Mara lowered his head, chanting Buddhist mantras, and after a moment said, "The drawbacks of this new method, if we look to the ancient methods for answers..."

"Ha... Ancient methods emphasize self-cultivation and self-qi, allowing one to gather qi independently and comprehend the Dao to build a foundation... This is the most suitable immortal foundation for oneself... It seems excellent, but in reality, nine out of ten cultivators in the world find it difficult to even enter the field."

A female cultivator in her Purple Mansion realm sneered, "If everyone went to cultivate ancient methods, none of you here might even reach the Purple Mansion realm..."

Maraji turned the white bone rosary in his hand and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it is so. The ancient method is also recorded in my Sanskrit scriptures, called 'Self-liberation'... Everything is done without seeking externally. After establishing the foundation of the Dao, one can comprehend supernatural powers on one's own. After the Purple Palace, it is even more extraordinary. One must comprehend the Great Void on one's own, sense the Golden Position, create one's own supernatural powers, and then the Purple Palace is perfected... Only then can one ascend to the position."

This means that after mastering the ancient Purple Mansion method, one does not cultivate supernatural powers by referring to secret manuals, but rather senses the Golden Position on one's own and comprehends the supernatural powers most suitable for oneself, and even comprehends three paths in a row!

Such a self-created supernatural power is naturally most suitable for himself, and it is also most compatible with the mysteries of the Golden Position. It is said that if an ancient cultivator cultivates to the peak of the Purple Mansion, proving the Golden Nature is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

But what kind of talent is needed to comprehend the rudiments of supernatural powers at the very beginning of one's cultivation?

He sensed the metal position in the early stage of the Purple Mansion and created the Three Supernatural Powers.

The female cultivator from the Purple Mansion said that if they practiced the ancient method, none of the cultivators present could reach the Purple Mansion. In fact, she underestimated the difficulty of the ancient method.

If the ancient methods were practiced, many of the Purple Mansions present would likely struggle to even establish a Dao Foundation!

The group of Purple Mansion Dharma Kings could not help but despair.

Instead, a smile appeared on Moroji's face: "Without the Buddha, there is no way to accomplish the Dharma... If we want to attain enlightenment now, I'm afraid we have to do it this way."

Si Chen suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

The changes in the Gold position are mysterious and unpredictable, which he naturally cannot see clearly in his current cultivation. He may also have cultivated his supernatural powers incorrectly, and thus he will never have the hope of attaining the Gold realm in his lifetime.

However, if a high-ranking figure were to tailor a cultivation method to one's own needs, it would be like feeding someone a meal, and there would still be great potential! "Now... the esteemed lords are gradually responding, no longer as silent as they were thousands of years ago... there are still ways."

"This old demon may die, but at least he managed to probe out something; his death was worthwhile."

Si Chen looked at the black curtain and thought to himself.

Since Zheng Jin died, his body and soul perished, so there is no possibility of any true reincarnation.

But at that moment, a five-colored light flashed in the darkness, and a pure aura rose, transforming into the shape of a dragon and a tiger.

Amidst the roars of dragons and the howls of tigers, and the torrential rain pouring down, the darkness seemed to be gradually melting away.

The transformation of material properties, turning darkness into light, is the supernatural power of "balancing softness and strength"!

"Um?"

Moroji was taken aback. Using his supernatural powers, he discerned the truth: "So it's the 'Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir Method'! That's it... So the subsequent chaos in Ancient Shu was all a ruse. This old demon only wanted to complete those two intercalation rituals to obtain this dragon and tiger!"

"Overturning Heaven and Earth" is a new magical power, and before Bi Yuewu devoured gold and fire, this magical power was called "Tune and Softness"!

The intercalation method used by Li Rulong and Pushan Junxing was an ancient method, and the transformation of it was naturally also an ancient supernatural power!

Then, using the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir Method, refine these two people into one elixir, which is enough to replace their original supernatural powers!

Replace the "softness with strength" and bring about a complete upheaval!

"Could it be that the mysteries of [Bi Yue] haven't changed, and still require the use of ancient methods? Who transmitted that new supernatural power? What is their intention?"

"Could it be... that this old monster is really going to succeed!?"

Many Purple Mansions watched as the thick, seemingly impenetrable darkness rapidly dissipated under the influence of the "Harmony of Softness and Hardness" divine power, revealing the form of a strange demon within.

It resembled a giant raven, but with four wings, its entire body covered in countless eyes that emitted an eerie light, making it unsettling to behold. Occasionally, gaps in the flesh revealed a stark white skeleton, upon which countless black snakes and serpents writhed and chased...

A thick, mercury-like radiance flowed over his body, effectively blocking the snake-like creature at its wound.

The monster's eyes were filled with madness, and it suddenly let out a horrible cry:

"melon!"

Around the lake, some demon generals didn't even have time to react before their bodies exploded instantly. Some turned into a shower of gold and silver, while others turned into grass, wood, and mud... Sangji closed his eyes, but Miaofeng and Qingjing behind him screamed and their eyeballs exploded, turning into two bloody holes.

This directly confronts the impact and influence of that "evil thing"!

"The failure of the securities firm did not transform into a natural disaster; instead, it transformed into an evil entity!"

Sangji muttered to himself, and suddenly felt a lightness in his body.

When he came to his senses, he was already a hundred miles away, and beside him stood a towering golden statue with a blue face and fangs. He couldn't help but put his hands together and prostrate himself in worship: "Thank you, Dharma King, for saving my life..."

Beside him stood Tashi, but his face was contorted in a grotesque grimace, with countless blue and red veins resembling earthworms densely surrounding his eyes. Morosh stepped forward, pressed Tashi's head down, and chanted: "All conditioned phenomena are like mist and lightning; thus should they be viewed… Tai!" A flash of light, golden above and blue below, enveloped even the bright consorts, including Miaofeng and Qingjing.

Zaxi shouted and shook off a series of small, jet-black snakes from his body.

The small snakes landed and immediately began to slither around, quickly disappearing from sight.

Tashi prostrated himself in gratitude: "Thank you so much, His Holiness the Dharma King, for helping me..."

Sangji glanced at Miaofeng and Qingjing; although their eyes were wide open in shock, it was nothing to the Secret Realm. He would go back and find two more pairs of eyes to place on them. "You suffered this retribution because you looked directly at the evil creature transformed from that great demon... Fortunately, that Suwu had not attained the Golden Nature; otherwise, if you had looked directly at the Golden Nature, even I could not have saved you!"

"Morosh sighed."

If one can verify the nature of metal, then one will naturally succeed.

If the gold standard fails, there will be no gold content remaining.

"Mr. Suwu...the securities firm failed."

Sangji, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems that not only the 'Heaven and Earth Overturning' technique has a problem, or perhaps the 'Heaven and Earth Overturning' technique itself is fine, and the problem lies with the other techniques. Who knows?"

Morosh pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a strange smile: "It is rather unusual that Suwu failed to attain the Golden Realm and actually transformed into an evil creature... This evil creature is the transformation of Suwu, possessing the strength of the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, with mixed supernatural powers, making it difficult to deal with... I observed with my Three Realms Dharma Eye that the evil creature only seeks trouble with the demon race and devours great demons... Otherwise, it would be difficult to bring you all out so smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Sangji suddenly felt a chill: "If that evil creature doesn't distinguish between humans and demons and slaughters them all... then it's just a coincidence that it transformed into a monster. But if it only grabs and devours demons... then it's probably fallen into a trap."

Morosh exchanged a glance with him, both of them having a guess in their hearts: "It must be Moyun Cliff who made the move. The Di Tu are skilled in spreading plagues, raising Gu poisons, and using incantations and witchcraft... or perhaps they tampered with Li Rulong or Pushan Jun. If Su Wu succeeds in becoming a Jin, everything will be fine. But if he fails, he will surely transform into a monster and slaughter the demon race... thwarting the Qingniao Tribe's plan to obtain the Purple Mansion Spiritual Object!"

"How petty and ruthless!"

Sangji, in particular, trembled slightly as he recalled his conversation with the Great Master Chen of the temple.

"This time... the Azure Bird Tribe will likely suffer a major blow, and it will be only natural that they will be expelled from Ancient Shu."

Morosh looked at Sangji: "Sangji... go back and go into seclusion to break through to the Dharma King level. It will take several decades for Moyun Cliff to deal with the demon race... If you cannot attain the Dharma King level during this period, my Secret Treasury will ultimately be unable to protect Xituo County."

"Follow the law!"

Sangji immediately accepted the order, but sighed inwardly, "Venerable One... there's no time to delay any longer."

"You've done a good job."

Taibai Island, inside a cave.

Fang Qing's expression was solemn, knowing that the Secret Realm most likely had some kind of tacit understanding or agreement with Moyun Cliff.

The Secret Dharma King did not travel eastward, but if these masters achieved breakthroughs during their eastward journey, they could then reside in ancient Shu and spread the Dharma.

Now that the Azure Bird tribe is on the verge of collapse, Moyun Cliff is about to launch a full-scale counterattack to reclaim its lost territory.

Once the north is at peace, the next natural step is to head west!

Time was running out for Sangji, and he could no longer afford to delay.

He must immediately go into seclusion to break through his cultivation after returning to Wusheng Temple!

"Even with a 'Yin Earth Spirit Wall' from a Purple Mansion spiritual object, the chances of success are extremely slim..."

"Fortunately, breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm in seclusion takes anywhere from ten to several decades..."

"I really don't have much time left."

Fang Qing let out a long breath and silently reviewed what he had seen and heard.

"Since ancient times, the shift in the Golden Throne, the reclusion of True Lords, the implementation of new laws... everything seems to point to a massive conspiracy." He muttered to himself, "The only clue should be that True Lord Fang Ri of the Joyous Union Sect, but probing him now would be suicide." "So the Purple Mansion cultivation methods are all traps after all... only the ancient methods are somewhat better, but better my foot!"

"Ancient methods cultivate supernatural powers through resonance and achieve profound alignment with the universe, but alas, it is too difficult! New methods are driven by short-term gains, allowing for the plundering and substitution of resources... these are shortcuts!"

Fang Qing took out the "Great Sun True Explanation" and sighed again. This technique is good, but to comprehend the Dao and build a foundation, one must create one's own supernatural powers after reaching the Purple Mansion level in order to achieve perfection!

"If I had that aptitude and comprehension...would I still be at this level?"

He shook his head and immediately put the manual away: "If the Purple Mansion Divine Power is not right, I'll be trapped and die on the spot just like Lord Pushan... I wonder if my Dao Life Pearl can transform the divine power?"
