Chapter 270 Haotian Yaochi Enters Heaven

Heng Ming continued, "The evil spirit in the prehistoric world has resurfaced. It is clear that the fourth catastrophe will occur soon. During the catastrophe, the saints have reached a tacit understanding not to attack each other. If you have any questions, you can speak up now."

Suiren and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, Suiren was the first to ask, "Master, may I ask why the fourth catastrophe is coming so quickly?"

Hengming repeated Hongjun's explanation. In short, as more and more cultivators appear, the occurrence of catastrophes will become more frequent. One day, one catastrophe may just end and the next one will begin immediately.

After Suiren finished asking, Ziyi asked, "Master, I would like to ask you, with your magical powers, we have seen a battle between witches and liches, and we have also seen the saints fighting for the Chaos Bell. I just don't know why the Chaos Bell was renamed the Donghuang Bell in the hands of Donghuang Taiyi. In the vast prehistoric world, this is probably the only spiritual treasure that has changed its name."

For ordinary people, names and the like can be changed at will and are not important at all.

But for these great gods, their real names are extremely important, which represents a truth in the Great Dao. For example, the two words "Hengming" represent a truth of the Great Dao of destiny. Whoever can understand these two words will be favored by the Great Dao of destiny.

As one's cultivation gradually increases, the originally ordinary name will become a real name due to being used for too long.

For example, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, when they were first created by Nuwa, they might have been changed to other names, but after practicing till now, their real names have been fixed.

Changing one's real name could at best cause a shock to the great Dao, and at worst directly lead to a fall in one's cultivation level. Apart from the Donghuang Bell, the only other case of Xukong Taoist changing his name to Donghua Emperor was this.

But since Taoist Xukong changed his name to Emperor Donghua and there were two saints working behind him, he could be safe and sound. But what was Donghuang Taiyi's purpose?
The innate spiritual treasure is equivalent to the innate sacredness, and the same is true for the innate supreme treasure.

It should be noted that the treasure has a spirit. If Donghuang Taiyi forcibly changes the name of the Chaos Bell, it will easily cause the treasure to hate it. Even if it is a companion treasure or even a natal magic weapon, the gap between the two will be too big and cause the Chaos Bell to fly away.

However, not only did the Chaos Bell not resist the name change, but it allowed Donghuang Taiyi to control it. This was a very strange thing, and something that the three of them could not understand.

If Hengming wanted to change their names, they would probably fight for it a little. Even if they would agree, it would also mean that they did not want to change their names.

This is the case even between master and disciple, let alone Chaos Bell and Donghuang Taiyi.

Before Hengming took the last step, he did not understand why this happened. Only after he achieved the Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit could he see the secret clearly.

Heng Ming said: "You know that there are three thousand great ways, and all of them are equal, but you don't know that in the prehistoric world, the great way of power is extremely special. This is the great way that the great god Pangu practiced, and almost no one can be born with this great way. Donghuang Taiyi originally practiced the great way of fire. If you want to transform it into the great way of power, you have to use some methods."

"The first method is to obtain Pangu's primordial spirit or Pangu's blood essence. The primordial spirit carries the Great Dao, and the blood essence circulates the Great Dao. If you obtain one of them, you can use it as a medium to cultivate the Great Dao. But when the Taoist Ancestor preached, the prehistoric world had already experienced the second catastrophe, and even Pangu's essence had already turned into all things. Where would the primordial spirit and blood essence come from? This method is already outdated."

"The second method is to gain the favor of Heaven and let Heaven spontaneously open the door to the Great Power for you. This method is the best. As long as you enter it, it is a piece of cake to improve your cultivation by leaps and bounds. It is not forced, but a spontaneous action of Heaven. However, this method does not depend on luck, but only on fate. Even I don't have any better solution, so I can only give up."

"The third method is the last resort, which is what Donghuang Taiyi used. That is to borrow the Three Treasures of Creation and use them as a force to forcibly open the door to the great way of the original power in the Heavenly Dao. This method is far better than the first and second methods, because the Three Treasures of Creation are born with the destiny of Creation. To the prehistoric world, they are both father and mother, and the Heavenly Dao will not set up any defense against them."

“But the Three Treasures of Creation are the Three Treasures of Creation. Even if you are the owner, you cannot use this treasure to gain knowledge of the Heavenly Dao. If you want to use the third method, you must convert the Three Treasures of Creation into something that is your other half. Changing the name of Donghuang Taiyi is one of them. Donghuang Bell and Donghuang Taiyi are born to accompany each other. Only in this way can you cultivate the great way of original power.”

At the end, Hengming gave them a hint: "But the treasures cannot be insulted, and the way of heaven cannot be deceived. This third method can be regarded as an insult to the Three Treasures of Creation. The way of heaven will definitely bring down a great calamity on it. How do you know that the witch and demon calamity is the calamity of Donghuang Taiyi?"

Ziyi had a slight realization in his mind. For ordinary people, if they want to practice the great way of power, there are only the first and second methods. Either they must obtain Pangu's essence or spirit, or they must be favored by heaven.

If one wants to use the third method, not to mention that the three treasures of creation are only among saints, just talking about the calamity sent down by the way of heaven, even a figure like Donghuang Taiyi could not survive it, so how can others dare to say that they can definitely survive it?
After Ziyi asked, Youchao asked, "Master, how majestic is Buzhou Mountain? It has the responsibility of supporting the heaven and the earth. No matter how powerful Gonggong Zuwu is, how can he knock down Buzhou Mountain?"

Hengming smiled slightly but did not say anything. He just took out the half of Mount Buzhou that was knocked down from his sleeve.

This half of Mount Buzhou has been shrunk to the size of a palm by Hengming's magical power.

But the size did not affect the majesty of Mount Buzhou. A vast and lofty aura arose spontaneously. The three people were shocked, as if half of Mount Buzhou was pressing down on them. They were shocked that the collapsed Mount Buzhou was so sacred. However, Suiren had the highest cultivation level and saw the abnormality in this half of Mount Buzhou at a glance. There were many tree roots in the broken part.

These tree roots are spread across every corner of Mount Buzhou. Even though Mount Buzhou has collapsed, these tree roots are still growing, sucking up every drop of essence from the mountain.

No matter how huge Mount Buzhou is, how can it survive being sucked by these tree roots day and night?

The rock, from which every last drop of essence had been sucked away, turned pale and was as fragile as tofu dregs.

Heng Ming spoke at this time: "If it was only Gonggong, the ancestor witch, no, even if the twelve ancestor witches went into battle one after another, even if they smashed their heads, or even exploded one after another, they could not hurt Buzhou Mountain in the slightest. However, these tree roots are constantly sucking the essence of Buzhou Mountain. In this way, Buzhou Mountain has consumed a lot of its essence. On the surface, it is still sacred, but in fact its foundation has long been exhausted. It is just a shiny surface. If other gods were to hit it, they could still knock Buzhou Mountain down. It's a pity that they dare not, only Gonggong dares."

Looking at the twisted tree roots, Suiren suddenly thought of the old man who called himself Jianmu that he saw in the Hengming Divine Power.

"Could it be that Master..."

Thinking of this, Suiren immediately stopped speculating. Even if it was his master who designed the collapse of Mount Buzhou, as a disciple, he could only support it and would not dare to refute it.

At this time, Hengming casually threw the half of Buzhou Mountain to Suiren and reminded him: "The essence of this half of Buzhou Mountain has been reduced to one tenth, but there is still a little bit left. You can use the Creation Whip to absorb it together with these tree roots. The Creation Whip is your original body in your previous life and also your life magic weapon. If it benefits, it will also benefit you."

"As for these rocks, although all their essence has been sucked out, their foundation is still there. Ziyi, Youchao, you two can use them to refine a life-saving magic weapon. Suiren, you hold the eternal fire and help them refine the magic weapon."

After saying this, Hengming paused and continued, "The first emperor is about to arrive. You should return to your own palace and wait. Remember, you must not fail!"

Heng Ming's tone was still somewhat sharp when he finished speaking. The three of them were alert and immediately said loudly, "We dare not disappoint our master's entrustment. We will do our best to complete it."

After the three men left, Heng Ming cast his gaze towards Jin'ao Island above the West Sea, with a sneer on his face: "The Conferred God Tribulation... In that case, I'll start with you."

When the saints separated, Haotian and Yaochi arrived at the heaven first.

At this moment, the thirty-six heavens have been restored by Hongjun's magical powers, and even the four heavenly gates have been fully restored. They want to see the entire thirty-six heavens, so they go to the South Heavenly Gate first, intending to enter the first day: Taihuang Huangzengtian.

As soon as the two arrived at the South Gate of Heaven, they saw that this gate was covered with colorful clouds, mist, and made of jade. It was fragrant and truly gorgeous. Inside it stood several jade pillars, on which were carved red-bearded fire dragons with big suns. Their eyes were wide open and their majesty was so great that it frightened all the demons and ghosts and made them dare not offend them in the slightest.

Haotian praised: "It is worthy of the name of Tianmen."

As if sensing someone coming, the fire dragons on the pillars immediately revealed their true forms and coiled on the jade pillars. The sound of dragon roars continued to be heard, as if the next moment, these fire dragons were about to use their magical powers to completely destroy the offenders.

But Haotian just urged his aura, and these fire dragons immediately calmed down their majesty, and turned into reliefs again, lingering on the jade pillar.

Yao Chi smiled and said, "This seems to be the Heavenly Dragon Jade Embryo Formation. It seems that when the demon race conquered the dragon race, they did not gain nothing. At least they obtained countless Great Sun Fire Dragon True Souls. Otherwise, they would not be able to create such a large formation."

They had followed Hongjun Daozu for a long time, so their horizons were naturally much higher, and they recognized what this formation was at a glance.

This formation is called the Jade Embryo Formation, but unlike ordinary formations, the Jade Embryo Formation is a living formation. During the refining process, the true souls of living beings must be added. After successful refining, these true souls will be completely integrated into the jade embryo. As long as the jade embryo is not broken, the true soul will not be destroyed. It is usually used to guard the house.

However, the Jade Embryo Array is extremely expensive. An ordinary cultivator can only refine a jade embryo the size of a fist. The fact that one can refine a jade embryo as big as several pillars shows the profoundness of the Heavenly Court.
