Chapter 1 Mao Mountain is Empty

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain truly did not expect this situation to arise. No wonder Ji Xiang repeatedly confirmed it with him before!

He naively thought the other party was just being modest!

Turns out he wasn't being modest at all!

"This is just like having my home ransacked!"

Where did this come from, severing my lineage? You, a powerhouse who has ascended, I see that your Five Elements are lacking in virtue!

Ji Xiang, seeing the pale expression of the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain, naturally knew what he was thinking, so he comforted him:

"Don't worry, don't worry. Since I can take the formations, I can also help you put them back. However, this will require borrowing some incense from your Mao Mountain."

Having said that, he took out the Bright Light Heavenly Book, and a wisp of incense emerged from his fingertip. When it came into contact with the Bright Light Heavenly Book, a burst of Great Void Flying Profound Qi emerged. In an instant, lightning surged, transforming into a canopy-like size, enveloping the palace stone forest. Ji Xiang wrote the driving incantation of the great formation on the Heavenly Book, and the Thunder Pool Formation immediately evolved!

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was greatly shocked!

"This is the Thunder Pool Wu Yue Formation! You took my Mao Mountain formation and can learn it immediately?"

Ji Xiang laughed: "I have indeed completely learned the essence of your Mao Mountain Great Formation, but although I understand it deeply in my heart, it is still too early to be proficient. Look over there!"

Ji Xiang pointed his finger, and at this moment, one of the dim Heavenly Formation stone pillars suddenly released raging lightning. The Thunder Pool in the heavens and earth was sealed into it by Ji Xiang's finger, and the great formation returned to its original state!

The Thunder Pool Pillar surged, the formation restarted, and the earth emitted bursts of thunder!

Seeing the formation restored to its original state, the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was amazed again and again, his expression also changing constantly:

"I have never seen this situation before. Is this the power of the Ascension Realm?"

"It seems that in the future, classics, formations, and the like cannot be easily shown to others!"

Ji Xiang remained noncommittal. The Heaven-Piercing Bright Smoke was something on the Son of Heaven, so there was no need to tell the Mountain Lord about it in detail.

After all, the Daoist Records Office mainly aimed to be stable, and at least had to reveal a trick or two to shock people.

Ji Xiang was secretly pondering at this moment.

After this trip to Mao Mountain, if Mao Mountain lifts its mountain closure, his operation of whoring skills everywhere may be driven away by others like a plague god.

No matter if your unique skills are in books or in formations, Heaven-Piercing Bright Smoke plus a blank Divine Tablet, if that's not enough, then add a Hell Imprint and a Small Window to the Heavenly Lord, and I'll grab all your spells.

Is this melting the classics of hundreds of schools into one furnace? It has a bit of the joy of learning all seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin and then showing off in front of the Shaolin monks...

"Mountain Lord, lend me your Mao Mountain incense!"

Ji Xiang operated the Bright Smoke, this time spreading it in all directions. Countless incense was swept over, and Ji Xiang opened the sky with both hands, using a large amount of Mao Mountain incense to reshape copies of the formations and seal them back into the stone pillars!

This kind of power was almost like recreating the universe, shocking the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain!

"How can human incense be so obedient, at one's disposal!"

These incense gathered in the heavens and the earth, and Ji Xiang twisted it at will. A large amount of incense was poured into the Bright Light Heavenly Book. All the formations within the Five Elements could be rewritten on the Heavenly Book!

After all, the incomplete part of this Heavenly Book lies in the Three Origins and not in the Five Elements. The Three Origins, simply put, involve spells related to curses, salvation, karmic fire, rescuing the spirits, pardoning sins, bestowing blessings, and the sun, moon, and stars, which cannot be written on the Heavenly Book.

"Fortunately, these great formations of Mao Mountain do not involve this part. It seems that the formations involving this part are in the Trapping and Earth Formations."

The Heavenly Formation sends thunder, the Great Formation moves mountains and seas, and the Killing Formation destroys life.

Many great formations returned to their places one by one, with great momentum. The entire Holy Blessing Mountain was shaking because of this, and this area seemed to be rising into the sky. The large amount of incense accumulated by Mao Mountain was also being rapidly consumed!

Although the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain felt extremely pained in his heart, at least the great formations had returned. If the incense was less, then so be it. Who asked him to speak big words at the beginning, which led to this situation now?

Ji Xiang saw that he was still aching, and originally thought of helping the other party pass the Ascension Tribulation, but then he thought that this kind of secret even Old Zhang didn't know, and only thought that he used some means to remotely guide him in Fuli, and the real situation was not clear, so there was no need to expose this secret for the sake of showing off in front of others.

Once this secret is exposed, it is very dangerous.

That is equivalent to mass-producing ascension. If he wants to do this, he must at least have the strength to suppress all the Pure Yang in the world, and even several Ascension Realms.

Moreover, whether the Green Heaven Great Demon's examination paper can be changed again is also uncertain.

The formations returned to the various stone pillars, the incense was squandered to astronomical numbers, and the day and night in the earth were not obvious, but were the light and darkness formed by projecting the sun and moon of the surface world.

Ji Xiang stopped operating the magic and turned his gaze to the Trapping and Earth Formations.

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain immediately became nervous.

Ji Xiang quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry. I thought carefully about these two types of formations, and I still won't take them. Because I may not be able to restore these formations."

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If you copied all of them away, Mao Mountain would not even have a single unique formation left.

In the future, you must be careful when bragging.

"So I decided to learn a bit. How many formations are there in the Trapping and Earth Formations that are related to curses and blessings, saving souls and helping the spirits, and karmic fire and pardoning sins?"

Ji Xiang asked, and the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain thought for a moment and replied: "There are eighty-one trapping formations, of which twenty-five belong to this type of sinister formations; there are one hundred and sixty-five earth formations, of which fifty-one belong to this type of sinister formations."

"Trapping and Earth Formations can be learned after one has achieved some success in cultivation, so most of them are not difficult to learn."

Ji Xiang came to the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation and the Mysterious Yin Furnace Great Formation, and began to comprehend and understand. At this time, the blank Divine Tablet in Ji Xiang reflected the operating rules of these two formations, as well as many detailed information.

The information of the Mysterious Yin Red Furnace Great Formation was slightly different from what he saw last time, but it was generally the same. The key to manipulating these formations lies in the *Mao Shan Xuan Bao Zhen Jing* (Mao Mountain Mysterious Treasure True Scripture).

"By the way, these kinds of formations seem to come from the *Mao Shan Xuan Bao Jing*. Can you lend me..."

"No, absolutely not!"

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain immediately gave a fierce reaction and refused!

"I mean, this scripture can only be learned by the people of Mao Mountain. Although you are an ascension, but you see, don't embarrass me..."

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain forcibly explained.

He was afraid that Ji Xiang would copy an important part of the Treasure Scripture on the spot.

Ji Xiang also felt that his request was a bit too much. The *Mao Shan Xuan Bao Jing* was one of the town's sects, a housekeeping skill. He learned the formation and did not join Mao Mountain, and still wanted to see the True Scripture, which was indeed not very authentic.

"Then I'll exchange something for it? What do you think?"

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was stunned for a moment: "Exchange something for it? This Treasure Scripture is a unique secret book of Mao Mountain. What do you have that is worth this price?"

Ji Xiang stretched out his hand and conjured a pile of golden sand.

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was stunned for a moment, and was about to laugh a few times, when he suddenly fixed his eyes and his breathing became rapid!

"This, this is?!"

These golden sands did not look unusual at first sight, but soon the color changed to crimson gold, and a raging purple flame-like aura rose up!

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was, after all, a Pure Yang cultivator of many years, and he was extremely shocked!

"How is this possible? This is actually Jambudvipa Gold!"

He was very surprised, and his expression could no longer be calm!

Treasure gold is an important resource in cultivation, and the gold in front of him does not belong to the human world, but is gold from the Dharma realm!

This thing should not appear in the human world!

"This gold is produced in the legendary river sands under Jambudvipa in Uttarakuru, hence the name. Only those who become Buddhas have this golden color. Jambudvipa is also called Southern Jambudvipa, which is the real world where all living beings in the surface world live, according to Buddhism!"

"This kind of gold is only owned by some ancient Buddhist sects in the surface world, and is used to refine the indestructible body of the Holy Buddha. How do you have it? Did the imperial court raid the Buddhist sect?"

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain had to think this way.

After all, Ji Xiang had just ransacked Mao Mountain in front of him.

Ji Xiang: "It's not a raid, do you remember the black finger I showed you before?"

"These golden sands are the same as that black finger. I got them from Avici Hell."

When Ji Xiang said these four words, he said them casually, and did not feel anything unusual. After all, in Ji Xiang's eyes, the Hell Imprint was just a money-making perpetual motion machine. He would throw some ghosts in it to exchange for gold when he had nothing to do.

But listening to the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain, it was really deafening, like a thunderous roar!

"Avici Hell?! That is a place that is known alongside the Eastern Blood Lake. How did you get the golden sands from Avici Hell? Can the Ascension Realm even do this kind of thing?"

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain even felt some fear.

Being able to enter Avici Hell is no small matter. Being able to enter Avici Hell means you can enter Fengdu Ghost City, being able to enter Fengdu Ghost City means you can enter Mount Tai's Underworld, and being able to enter Mount Tai's Underworld means you can enter the Eastern Blood Lake of the Taiyi Relief Suffering Heavenly Lord!

You are not an Ascension Realm, you are a Rescue Realm!

If anyone is beaten to death, you can go directly down and pull him out, and the Heavenly Immortal will be transferred to the Ghost Immortal on the spot, and then continue to fight after returning to life.

"How can the rules of heaven and earth, such as life and death reincarnation, nirvana and rebirth, rewarding good and punishing evil, be easily destroyed? Many hell Dharma realms have existed since ancient times. The birth of each great Dharma realm is a concentration of boundless vows and the blessing of past masters, so they are connected and constantly open up pure lands in them."

"Actually, this person in front of me can actually enter Avici Hell?"

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain expressed some doubts about this, but Ji Xiang did not intend to tell him in detail.

He felt a little uneasy about this. He didn't expect that when Ji Xiang, this Ascension Realm expert, had not damaged his cultivation, he was already so awesome that he could ignore the rules of life and death reincarnation, directly tear the Dharma realm, cross the Yin and Yang, and use the evil ghosts as laborers?

Others go to the mountains to mine for gold, but you go directly to Avici Hell to mine for gold.

Is this the realm of a master?

"Okay, is this golden sand enough? If it's not enough, there's more."

Ji Xiang conjured another handful, and the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain looked at these golden sands with difficulty.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't want it.

Although the Taoist sect also has various divine golds, such as Geng gold, Xin gold, and Mao gold.

In ancient times, the state of Chu also had treasures of gold, wood, and jade arrows, as well as the gold of Mount Hua, the gold of Mount Ge, the gold of Mount Lu, the gold of Mount Yonghu, and the gold of Lishui... but these are all human gold, while Jambudvipa gold is gold from the Dharma realm, and it is also the highest level of gold in the Buddhist Dharma realm!

The Taoist sect refines golden pills, and gold is a firm and immortal object. Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the requirements for gold are extremely high. These treasure golds can help one's cultivation, and even break through the original shackles. They are really rare treasures in cultivation.

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain could not help but sigh: "The *Baopuzi* once said that to melt immortal golden liquid with human gold, one must melt the essence of 400,000 jin of gold into one dose, and taking it can make a person become an earth immortal on the spot."

"However, mortals cannot bear this thing, and will die if they eat it indiscriminately."

"The only golden objects that can be compared with this Jambudvipa gold are the thousand-year-old yellow dragon. The *Huainanzi* says that gold is raised for a thousand years and turns into a yellow dragon... or the Zhou Tianzi's golden ointment, the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi golden pulp, the Penglai Mountain's hundred-refined azure gold, the Haiyong Mountain's white tiger gold, and the rarest purple ground sacred gold... but these treasure golds are all things of the upper world, and have never been seen in this world."

"Of course I want this Jambudvipa gold, but I am the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain, and I cannot sell the scriptures for some treasures. Please take it back."

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain suppressed his greed and dared not look at the gold anymore. This made Ji Xiang a little admired. The temptation of treasure gold to the Pure Yang realm seemed to be very great, and perhaps it was one of the keys for them to break through the barriers, but being able to suppress this temptation was also a rare integrity.

"Forget it, it is destined that I will miss this scripture. I will think again about the way to deal with the Yin World Song Court. With the Thirteen Heavenly Formations in hand, I think I can easily crack their Yin Spirit Formation."

"Mountain Lord, these treasure golds are for you, just as compensation for me taking away your formations."

Ji Xiang still gave the treasure gold to the other party, but since he didn't want the Mao Mountain scriptures, the Mountain Lord breathed a sigh of relief and was willing to accept it.

With these treasure golds that are not seen in the world, all the losses of the previous incense can be ignored!

Ji Xiang then thought of another thing and said meaningfully:

"If you can have an indestructible body by obtaining Jambudvipa gold, then I am afraid that there will be many indestructible people in the world soon."

The Jambudvipa gold was obtained from the Hell Imprint, and this imprint comes from the Ucchusma Vajrapani. It can be imagined that this imprint left by the other party in the surface world is definitely not only one place.

It is not a fantasy that a batch of indestructible masters will appear, and perhaps they will be seen soon.

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was a little confused about this, but he did not dare to ask further. He invited Ji Xiang to the Great Yuan Treasure Hall. The hall was unique, with golden pillars and blue halls. Books were hanging on both sides. He took one, which was the basic introduction to Mao Mountain formations.

"My Mao Mountain scriptures cannot be seen by you, but this *Shang Qing Array Dao Secrets* can be given to you to read. The so-called key to formations is to find the spiritual points of the heavens and earth, and make various arrangements on the spiritual points. By reading this book thoroughly, human formations can be mastered. With human formations mastered, learning to arrange earth formations will not be far away."

Ji Xiang accepted the book: "Thank you."

"There is one more thing, please see..."

The Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain repaid Ji Xiang's friendship of giving gold, and Ji Xiang saw a painting hanging deep in the Great Yuan Treasure Hall. At this moment, the blank Divine Tablet was shining brightly in the inner scene!

"This is.....!"

"True Spirit Ranking Chart!"

Tao Hongjing, the ninth generation ancestor of Shangqing, once made a ranking chart for the heavens and saints, divided into seven levels, which is also the earliest systematic division of the immortal Dao scrolls of the ranks of the gods!

At this time, a force from the dark gradually emerged from this picture!

The matter of enlightenment comes when it comes. Ji Xiang felt that there was an extremely powerful vow on this picture, and in his eyes, countless phantoms of gods gradually appeared on this picture, just like the missing forms of the divine tablets in Fuli!

At the same time, the blank Divine Tablet appeared abnormal, and did not float any text, but shook in the inner scene.

At this time, the Mountain Lord of Mao Mountain was about to explain, when he suddenly received a message. He held up the talisman and listened, and his face changed immediately!

The Mao Mountain Dao Child suddenly began to dissipate his energy and fell into a coma!
