Chapter 227: The Queen Mother is trying to make an elixir and wants to visit her child but returns in vain
West Kunlun.
The Queen Mother of the West sat in the center of the Yaochi Lake, gazing at the wonder from afar.
She was originally in the process of refining her gong, but was startled by the Taiyin Divine Pillar. She opened her eyes from her practice, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth softly: "Where is the blue bird?"
After receiving the summons, Fairy Bluebird, who was originally collecting herbs and refining elixirs, immediately turned into a breeze from the mountainside and came before the Queen Mother of the West, saying respectfully, "Bluebird is here, please give me your orders, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother of the West said calmly: "Go to Penglai Island in the East China Sea and find Emperor Donghua. Tell him that Chang'e has already flown to the moon and ask him to hand over the trace of the King's true spirit."
The Blue Bird Fairy nodded, then turned into a gust of breeze and flew away from West Kunlun.
Looking at the Taiyin Divine Pillar in the sky that shocked everyone, the Queen Mother of the West sighed. She didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, but for the King of the East, she had to do it.
She was not moved by the love between Houyi and Chang'e, so she specially asked the Supreme Sage to refine an elixir of immortality. There were so many lovers in the world, how could she take care of them all? What's more, she was not the matchmaker and was too lazy to take care of these trivial matters.
It was obvious that Emperor Donghua personally went to West Kunlun and forced King Dong to not give the elixir of immortality directly, but to use the most wonderful energy of Xihua and the elixir of immortality to refine an elixir of immortality and then give it to Houyi.
Although she felt something was wrong at the time, Queen Mother of the West saw it clearly and knew that the trace of the King's true spirit in Emperor Donghua's hand could not be fake.
For the sake of the King of the East, the Queen Mother of the West was willing to do it even if it meant splitting her origin, not to mention that it was just to refine an elixir of immortality.
She had also heard a little about the story of Chang'e and Houyi, but at that time she was just amazed that an ancient witch would actually fall in love with a mortal woman. When Emperor Donghua asked her to give the elixir of immortality to Houyi, she knew that perhaps this was a setup against Houyi.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Hou Yi would never dare to come directly to West Kunlun. Even if he came, it doesn't matter!"
There was a flash of cold light in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West. As an innate sacred being that had existed since the beginning of the world, it was not so easy for her to exist.
East China Sea.
The Bluebird Fairy used the magic weapon bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West to quickly cross the boundless distance and arrived at the East China Sea. However, looking at the vast ocean, she was a little troubled.
That is, she didn't know where Penglai Island was.
Although she had lived on Penglai Island for countless tens of thousands of years, after she returned to West Kunlun with the Queen Mother of the West, she never found Penglai Island even once again. This shows how proficient Emperor Donghua is in the avenue of space.
Just when Fairy Bluebird was in trouble, there were sudden spatial fluctuations in front of her, and then she saw a sword emitting blazing yang energy flying out from the void. Fairy Bluebird subconsciously grabbed the sword and immediately sensed a familiar aura in it.
"master?"
The Bluebird Fairy said in surprise.
This aura was exactly that of the King of the East. She had served the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West for many years, so naturally she would not make a mistake.
Suddenly, a calm voice came to my ears: "This is a fragment of the Pure Yang Sword. When Nuwa helped me condense Penglai Island, she also gathered those fragments of the Pure Yang Sword. There is a trace of Dong Wanggong's true spirit in it. Go. Now that the great calamity is about to begin, Penglai Island has just been established, so it is inconvenient for you to show up in public. Please say hello to Taoist friend Xi Wangmu for me."
Recognizing that it was the voice of the Void Taoist, or Emperor Donghua, Fairy Bluebird quickly bowed and said, "Bluebird greets the Void Taoist... Emperor Donghua."
But the spatial fluctuations in front of her had subsided, as if everything she had just experienced was just an illusion. Only the sword in her hand told her that it was all real.
"The cultivation level of Emperor Donghua is probably not inferior to that of the Empress. It is true that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. With two saints behind, even a pig can fly."
The Bluebird Fairy said secretly.
Emperor Donghua was the second male immortal after King Dong. With the nod of Hengming and Nuwa, he was even given the dragon-headed cane as proof.
Originally in the Immortal Dynasty, Void Taoist was not as good as the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West, otherwise he would not have been suppressed to obscurity by these two. But today, after Void Taoist changed his name to Emperor Donghua, his cultivation level has caught up.
After expressing her emotion, the Blue Bird Fairy turned into a gust of breeze and flew away. When she returned to West Kunlun, she gave the sword to the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West looked at the sword in her hand with a complicated expression, as if she saw her husband who was capable of standing tall and proud again. She sighed silently, and then sealed the sword in the center of the Yaochi Lake, using the endless and wonderful energy of the West to nourish the trace of true spirit, hoping to make it grow stronger.
Dong Wanggong died of self-explosion, burning every bit of the origin of the Great Dao. He even took with him the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Pure Yang Sword and the Dragon Head Cane, and let out a final roar towards Emperor Jun, giving up all hope of resurrection.
However, if there is a great god who is willing to expend his power and slowly shape his body, it is not impossible to resurrect him again, but he will be two different people from the original one after all.
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.
Taishang Laojun was originally asking Jinjiao and Yinjiao to search for precious medicine in the treasury. His soul moved slightly, and he immediately saw a young Taoist coming towards Shouyang Mountain.
The Taoist was wearing a light green Taoist robe, with his hair tied up with only a wooden hairpin. He had a calm and dignified expression. Although he was flying alone, his every move was like that of an emperor on patrol, with a certain majesty. The person who came was none other than Donghuang Taiyi.
Seeing Donghuang Taiyi going up the mountain, Taishang Laojun took out the Taiji crutch and hit him, but he saw that the entire Shouyang Mountain was covered by a Taiji shadow, with yin and yang rotating, the four images regenerating, and the eight trigrams repeating, immediately blocking Donghuang Taiyi. This is the power of a saint, even if Donghuang Taiyi used the Donghuang Bell, it would not be able to shake it a bit, not to mention how dare he be presumptuous in front of a saint.
Seeing that the sage stopped him from going up the mountain, Donghuang Taiyi knew that the reason for his visit must be known to the sage. This might also be the attitude of Taishang Laojun.
Donghuang Taiyi was about to shout when a fiery red cloud suddenly flew in front of him, and a middle-aged Taoist with his own manners stood on the cloud, holding a small fiery red flag.
When Donghuang Taiyi saw the small fiery red flag, his eyes narrowed and he recognized it as the Southern Flame Flag, a magical treasure bestowed by Hongjun to Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Laojun in turn bestowed it to this Taoist. The two had an extremely close relationship.
Apart from Master Xuandu, the only disciple of Taishang Laojun, who else could receive such a gift from him?
Donghuang Taiyi immediately bowed to the Great Mage Xuandu and said, "Donghuang Taiyi of the Demon Clan, I greet the Great Mage Xuandu."
The great master Xuandu quickly dodged outside and kept saying, "I dare not, I dare not."
Donghuang Taiyi did not insist. He performed the salute out of respect for Taishang Laojun and also because Master Xuandu was the only disciple of Taishang Laojun. Such an existence was worthy of his salute.
The great master Xuandu waved the Southern Lidi Yanguang Flag, and a purple-green gas floated out. It turned into a Tai Chi pattern in front of Donghuang Taiyi. The purple and green colors were rotating, and it was extremely rich and prosperous. There were also rays of Taiqing immortal light floating around, and a world-suppressing scripture was written in front of Donghuang Taiyi, which was the Tao Te Ching.
Donghuang Taiyi was confused and asked, "Excuse me, Master Xuandu, I wonder what the Supreme Saint is going to say?"
Master Xuandu said, "My master asked me to come here to explain the Dao to His Majesty Donghuang. As the saying goes, morality is precious, life is precious, and outstanding virtue is precious. In this catastrophe, the saints can only watch and cannot take action. Therefore, the demon race can do everything, but as the saying goes, don't do anything to the extreme. The demon race accommodates all races, so why can't it accommodate one human being?"
After saying this, Master Xuandu bowed and flew back to Shouyang Mountain again.
Donghuang Taiyi remained silent in the sky, and no one knew what the Supreme Sage wanted to say.
It not only allowed the demon clan to do everything, but also said that nothing should be done to the extreme. Finally, it pointed out that the saint could not take action in this catastrophe. However, he himself was not good at calculating these things, so he could only remember them in his heart, bowed slightly to Shouyang Mountain, and flew towards the heaven.
Taisu Heaven, the Palace of Creation.
Changxi and Xihe did not go to Taisutian immediately, but went to Taiyin Star first to reunite with the twelve Taiyin Jade Rabbits for a while, and then flew upwards in the tearful eyes of those moon rabbits.
Xihe saw that Changxi was in a bad mood and knew that she was reluctant to leave her daughter, so she comforted her, "You don't need to be sad. Didn't Dijun say that he was refining the Wu-killing Sword, which can easily cut through the bodies of the Wu clan. The hope of the demon clan's victory has increased. As long as the Wu clan is destroyed, we can take those little rabbits back to heaven anytime and anywhere. Now it is only for their safety that we are reluctant to separate them."
Chang Xi also perked up a little, and said with a forced smile: "I was worrying too much. Look at how well my children are raised by my elder sister. It is obvious that my elder sister has not neglected them. Letting them stay on Taiyin Star can be regarded as putting my worries to rest."
But what mother doesn't miss her children? Not only Chang Xi, but even Xihe had many thoughts about Lu Ya in her heart, but she suppressed them forcibly.
When talking about children, one cannot help but talk about the nine Golden Crows that passed away. When talking about the nine Golden Crows, Xihe's mood would fall endlessly. However, they also saw Changnu on the Moon and knew everything that happened, which was also a consolation.
"Perhaps the elder sister is avenging us. Hou Yi killed nine golden crows, so she specially sent Changnu to let Hou Yi know the feeling of heartbreak. She also took away the Sun Shooting Bow and Sunset Arrow as a token of her gratitude."
Changxi then turned around to comfort Xihe. Xihe nodded slightly without saying anything.
If possible, she would be willing to exchange everything she had for the Sun-Shooting Bow and the Sunset Arrow, but Changnu was unwilling, so they had to give up.
It was not until they came near the boundless cloud that the two women perked up a little. Before they could throw down their visiting cards, they saw a fire phoenix fly out, transform into a human form in front of them, bowed and saluted, and said: "Xuantian Fire Phoenix greets the Queen of Heaven and the Queen of Demons."
Xihe asked, "Fairy Xuantian, please go in and tell them that Xihe and Changxi are here to visit Lady Nuwa."
Xuantian Fire Phoenix did not move, but stood there and said, "Please forgive me, the two ladies. The Lady Nuwa has been very quiet and is thinking of moving, so she brought Qingluan and Jinfeng to visit Yingzhou Island. There are only Lingzhuzi and I in Taisu Heaven, so it is inconvenient to invite the two ladies in for a cup of spiritual tea. But the Lady Nuwa already knows the purpose of the two ladies' visit. The Lady Nuwa asked me to bring a message to the two ladies, which is: 'Leave a way for each other, so that we can meet again in the future.'"
But besides this intention, Xihe had another thought, which was to meet Lu Ya.
Chang Xi knew what Xihe was thinking, so he asked for her, "Fairy Xuantian, could you please ask Lu Ya to come out and see us?"
But Xuantian Fire Phoenix shook her head and said coldly: "Since you have entered Taisu Heaven, you are already a celestial being. Why should you still be greedy for the mortal world? Please go back, ladies. I will not let anyone in without the permission of Lady Nuwa."
Xihe was anxious after hearing this, and immediately reached out to stop Xuantian Fire Phoenix, but unexpectedly Xuantian Fire Phoenix glared at him and scolded, "What do you want? Are you planning to kill people outside Taisu Heaven?"
Chang Xi quickly pulled Xihe to his side and said with a smile, "How could this happen? How could this happen? It's just that as a mother, I miss my child and am worried, so I did this. Please don't forgive me, Fairy."
Xuantian Fire Phoenix snorted coldly and immediately flew back to Taisu Heaven and set up a restriction. However, endless clouds were constantly rolling and slowly expanding outwards like waves. It seemed calm, but it contained infinite power. It immediately forced the two Hunyuan Golden Immortals to retreat and they dared not move forward.
After all, Taisutian is the dojo of Nuwa, so how can it tolerate outsiders offending it at will? The two had no choice but to turn into light and leave.
On the way out, Chang Xi couldn't help but say, "This Xuantian Fire Phoenix has a really bad temper. Among the maids of Lady Nuwa, I think this Fire Phoenix has the worst temper. I wonder if Lu Ya can live well in there."
Xihe sighed, "The Blue Luan is gentle, the Golden Phoenix is noble, the Colorful Phoenix is gentle, but the Fire Phoenix is the most arrogant. That's all. As long as my child can survive, none of this matters."
