Chapter 52: Bu Zhou Wants to Capture His Mount
Not mentioning others, but at this time, under the mountain, there was a person. A young man with a majestic demeanor, wearing a sword on his body, with the gentle breeze blowing by, his clothes fluttering, looking quite carefree.
This man is Shi Zhong. After dealing with the matters on Fangzhang Mountain, Shi Zhong had closed himself off to try and attain the Hunyuan Great Dao before the Middle Great Tribulation, trying to gain some initiative. However, things did not go as he wished, how could the Hunyuan Great Dao be so easily attained? Shi Zhong had been in seclusion for thousands of years, yet he still couldn't achieve the Hunyuan Great Dao, only reaching the peak realm of the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Actually, this is not to say that Shi Zhong cannot attain the Mixed Yuan Great Tao. The current Shi Zhong has already fully grasped the laws of creation and can attain the position of Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal at any time. However, Shi Zhong does not want to attain the position of Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal in this way. Shi Zhong wants to use his own divine body to open up the sky and prove the Tao through power. Proving the Tao through power is not comparable to ordinary methods of proving the Tao.
The Fa Zheng Dao is the middle stage of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian realm. In fact, Hong Jun's San Shi certification is also a kind of Fa Zheng certification. Cutting off one's three thoughts is to better understand the Fa Zheng, which makes it easier to directly understand the Fa Zheng and certify the Daluo Tao fruit. However, there is a drawback: Lingbao is hard to find! To have better development in the future, you must have more powerful Lingbao, and this Lingbao must be three pre-heavenly Lingbao that can combine.
Even if it's the innate spiritual treasure in the world, it's hard to find, let alone these three innate spiritual treasures? I'm afraid only Hong Jun can achieve such a requirement!
In comparison, the way of opening up the world with force is very powerful, but this has a threshold. Generally speaking, those who can open up thousands of worlds in the Tian Di can achieve the late stage of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and the saints they grasp in the neutral world are almost the same as those in the great world.
If one can open up a world like the Great Thousand Worlds, they would have a cultivation base comparable to that of a Golden Immortal at the peak of the Chaos Primordial Era. They would be able to wield the power of an entire Great Thousand World, which is far stronger than even the Saints in the larger multiverse. However, if one were to open up a world like Pangu's, it's hard to say what level they would be at.
As for the verification of merits and virtues, it is still very difficult to talk about the verification of merits and virtues. Unless it is the innate merits and virtues bestowed by the Great Tao, it is impossible to verify the Mixed Yuan Da Luo Golden Immortal. The merits and virtues of the Heavenly Tao can only help people verify the position of the Heavenly Tao Sage, and there are only the initial boundaries of the Sage. However, because they can use the power of the Heavenly Tao, which is also the power of the world, they can possess martial power equivalent to that of a mid-term Mixed Yuan Da Luo Golden Immortal. In a world without Shi Zhong, the six great Sages all belong to the category of Sages who have verified their merits and virtues through the Heavenly Tao.
Now, Pangu's incarnation in the chaotic world of Shi Zhong's body is indeed very powerful, with a strength comparable to that of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal at his peak. It seems that Pangu is truly worthy of being a strong creator who opened up the heavens and earth!
"You, Daoist priest, this road was opened by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through this road, leave some toll money!"
Suddenly a voice came out and scared Shi Zhong half to death.
Shi Zhong looked up and found that the person blocking his way was a big man with two horns on his head, holding a large fork in his hand, looking exactly like the legendary Ox Demon King.
Shi Zhong's eyes narrowed, and with a single glance, he discovered that this person was only a Primordial Cow Demon in the Dao realm. His current cultivation was merely at the early stage of Tianxian, which made him one of the lowest existences in the Honghuang world. The large fork in his hand was also only at the Tianjie stage of a magical treasure, and without needing to say more, Shi Zhong could tell that this cow demon was extremely poor.
Thought for a moment, Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, thinking that if he were to make this cow demon his mount, it wouldn't be bad either. His body was big and sitting on it would be very comfortable, but he wondered what the flying speed would be like!
Actually, Shi Zhong had previously obtained a mount, Long Tian is currently in Fangzhang Xian Mountain cultivating and preparing to break through the position of Daluo Jinxian. Once he breaks through Daluo Jinxian, he will be able to transform his shape, and Shi Zhong has also promised to set him free and take him as his disciple. Moreover, Long Tian is a body of Jiuyang, with great prospects for cultivation, it's really a waste to use him as a mount.
Shi Zhong thought that in his previous life, the Taishang Laojun and the Tongtian Jiao Master were both riding on a cow demon, looking very cool. He might as well collect this cow demon too, just follow the trend!
The green cow demon saw Shi Zhong ignoring himself on his own turf and became very angry, roaring with a fierce face.
"Halt! Are you looking for death? Quickly hand over the spiritual treasures in your possession, or else today you will know what it means to be red!"
The cow demon looked at Shi Zhong's appearance, although it was very fierce, but there was not a single trace of blood energy on its body. From this, Shi Zhong knew that the cow demon had never killed before. Looking at its eyes, which were slightly evasive, Shi Zhong became even more certain that this cow demon was still a rookie thief! Unfortunately, it had chosen to rob someone like Shi Zhong, an old and powerful demon from the primordial chaos, and had kicked an iron plate.
"This cow demon is quite interesting! Let's tease this cow demon then!"
Shi Zhong looked at the cow demon and couldn't help but want to laugh, so he also wanted to tease it a bit.
"Alright... Alright... I only have these few precious treasures left, if you want them, take them and spare my life."
Shi Zhong pretended to be afraid and trembled, looking like a green cow demon seeking the Tao. His words were also intermittent, but anyone who knew the inner workings would believe that Shi Zhong's current appearance was fake.
The green cow demon saw Shi Zhong's frightened appearance, as if inspired, completely unafraid like before, but added some arrogant words to scold Shi Zhong.
"Alas! Old Ox knew it would be like this with you little demons. Hurry up, hurry up, bring out the good stuff. Heaven has a good birth virtue, relying on the way to collect the spiritual treasure and let you go." The green cow demon seemed to be urging Shi Zhong to bring out the treasure in a manner that couldn't wait any longer.
Shi Zhong didn't say much and took out more than a dozen congenital spiritual treasures, with the lowest grade being upper-grade congenital spiritual treasures, while the rest were all top-grade congenital spiritual treasures, and there was even one congenital treasure, the Taiji Diagram.
The green cow demon's eyes nearly popped out when it suddenly saw the many spiritual treasures in front of it, and its mouth watered as it stood there staring blankly at the spiritual treasures before it.
The Blue Cow Demon, although not impressive in terms of cultivation and underground experience, still has some understanding of Innate Spiritual Treasures. Looking at the degree of treasure light flashing out from the many spiritual treasures in front of him, these spiritual treasures are all of the Innate Spiritual Treasure level!
Although the Kunlun Mountains have many congenital spiritual treasures, every now and then one or two congenital spiritual treasures will be unearthed. However, for a small demon like Qingniu who is only in the initial stage of Tianxian, these congenital spiritual treasures are simply out of reach. The strong Golden Immortals of the Kunlun Mountains number in the thousands, and even have hundreds of powerful beings with laws, so how can you get a turn?
So if a small demon like the Green Cow Demon doesn't have any particularly good luck, being able to refine a magical artifact is still largely due to having abundant spiritual materials on Mount Kunlun. Otherwise, without good spiritual materials, it's really too difficult for a cultivator who has never refined an artifact before to produce something even remotely decent.
"That's enough! That's enough!!"
The green cow demon said with a long flow of busy nods, now the green cow demon's brain has become numb, and it doesn't distinguish between situations, directly going forward like the Lingbao in front of Shi Zhong, this way looks as silly as possible. However, just when the cow demon was about to hug more than ten innate spiritual treasures, it found that it had actually hugged an empty space.
The green cow demon couldn't bear it and was about to get the spiritual treasure, but it ran away like this! However, he woke up immediately and roared at Shi Zhong.
"Wudang Daoist, what do you mean by this? You give me the spiritual treasure but don't let me take it!"
The Green Cow Demon is now very angry, but the Green Cow Demon also has doubts in his heart, suspecting that he kicked an iron plate. Otherwise, how could this Taoist have so many spiritual treasures? It's worth noting that even a strong Da Luo Jinxian only has one or two innate spiritual treasures, which is already considered good. However, the Green Cow Demon still holds a lucky attitude, thinking that the spiritual treasures on Shi Zhong's body were obtained by Shi Zhong's good luck.
It's not the cow demon's fault, anyone would think this way. After all, treasures are tempting, and even if you know there might be danger, you'd still want to take the risk. And what's in front of the cow demon isn't just one or two innate spiritual treasures, but over a dozen! Among them, there are even innate treasures of the highest quality!
Shi Zhong looked at Qing Niu Yao with a somewhat cautious appearance, and he couldn't help but want to laugh. However, Shi Zhong still maintained an innocent expression as he replied to Qing Niu Yao.
"Sir, why are you doing this! I already gave you all the spiritual treasures on my body! Just take them, sir, and spare my life!"
Shi Zhong's words at the beginning sounded very wronged, as if he was really being bullied, but later on, he spoke with great righteousness, as if these spiritual treasures were specially prepared for this green cow demon.
The green cow demon couldn't see anything unusual about Shi Zhong either, and was very puzzled by this.
"Am I being overly suspicious?"
