One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 260: Six Desires Forbidden Methods of Netherworld Ascension
There are thousands of roads in Baishan City, all leading to the top of the mountain.

Looking at the top of this white mountain from the outside, it looks plain and no different from other places.

After entering the mountain, what I saw was the brilliant light on the top of the mountain, as if it was connected with the nebulae in the sky, just like the temple in my heart.

The fire on his body gradually became transparent, and the greed was burned away. When he looked up again, the temple on the top of the mountain he saw no longer had that kind of divine light.

It was as if everything I had seen before was just my imagination.

He stretched out his hand and touched the center of Yang Xiao'e and Jing Jing's eyebrows respectively. They felt as if sunshine was pouring into their hearts, and the fog that had been lingering in their hearts dissipated in the sunshine.

His eyes also became clearer.

"You wait here for me, I'll go to the top of the mountain to take a look." Zhao Fuyun said to the two of them.

The two of them responded. Zhao Fuyun stretched out his hand and wrote in the air, then pointed towards the two of them.

They vaguely heard the word "nothingness", and then saw each other's bodies disappear into the void.

They knew that this was Taoist Fuyun's protection for them.

Then, they saw that Zhao Fuyun's body disappeared without any warning.

He disappeared into nothingness, floating all the way towards the top of the mountain. His speed was not fast, but he was stealthy.

But when he walked two-thirds of the way through the mountain, he seemed to have entered a domain, and his body, which had originally disappeared into nothingness, appeared.

At the same time, a huge pressure and suction will make him fall on the steps and unable to fly.

Flames surged from his body, and in the flames, his body seemed to be burned to ashes. Only a ray of light was seen flying towards the top of the mountain. However, in Zhao Fuyun's eyes, the top of the mountain suddenly became extremely far away.

Even if my escape light could travel a thousand miles, I don't know how many years it would take to reach the destination.

The escaping light condensed once again, and Zhao Fuyun's body condensed in the light and landed on the steps. He found that he had only escaped one step.

He knew in his heart that there were forbidden spells set up from this section of the road to the top of the mountain. He didn't know what the forbidden spells were, but there were at least some space-related forbidden spells and some illusion-related forbidden spells.

He no longer thought about going up by escape, so he stood up and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step. He could feel his body getting heavier and heavier as he walked, just like before, except that his mind was clear now.

He walked up step by step, and with each step, the weight on his back became heavier. He felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back.

Go up step by step.

A mysterious light began to surge from his body.

Then, a fire was lit.

The flames rose.

It shines brightly in the darkness.

But it was dazzling in the darkness, and the other teams seemed not to see it at all. They were also caught up in a kind of greed and just kept searching for things.

They searched through every house.

Some people realized something was wrong and fell to the ground, trying to break free from this desire.

Some of them broke free from their desires and saw Zhao Fuyun heading towards the top of the mountain.

They immediately flew towards the top of the mountain, but after reaching a certain position, they all fell back onto the mountain road.

Then, one by one, they tried to use other escape techniques, but after their bodies disappeared, they soon reappeared, still in the same place, with a look of surprise on their faces.

All people climbed the mountain on foot.

Zhao Fuyun was very tired, but he still persisted.

He lowered his head and saw a line of words on the steps, which looked like they were carved with a sword.

"The top of the mountain has the most beautiful scenery in the world. There is an ultimate goal of cultivation. I will definitely climb to the top of the sacred mountain and roar proudly between heaven and earth."

These words seemed to fill Zhao Fuyun's heart with infinite power and dispel his fatigue. He began to climb towards the top of the mountain step by step.

Slowly, his strength seemed to be exhausted again. He looked up and saw that the top of the mountain seemed to be right in front of him. The temple on the top of the mountain seemed to be only a few dozen steps away.

At this moment, he lowered his head and saw the words engraved on the steps again.

“When we want to give up, we need to think that this may be just the last step before success. Most people in the world stop here and eventually fail.”

Zhao Fuyun walked forward again. He gathered his magical thoughts and tried to save his power, but he didn't walk for long before he could no longer move.

He sat on the steps and looked down, and found that he had not walked very far, because he could sense the location of Yang Xiao'e and Jing Jing.

Sitting there, lying on the steps, he wondered what would be on the top of the mountain, what kind of forbidden techniques there were on the mountain, and whether he would have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the full picture of the forbidden techniques on the mountain after he climbed up the mountain.

Thinking about this, he felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, as if these thoughts had become a burden to him, weighing on his heart.

Chest tightness and shortness of breath.

His body turned into light, and although the feeling weakened, it did not disappear. Even after it disappeared and escaped into nothingness, the feeling did not completely vanish.

But it weakened a lot, and he felt something in his heart.

Thinking about the spell I had just cast, all those thoughts faded away, and the pressure disappeared.

So he sat cross-legged again, he began to relax himself, and gave up all the thoughts in his mind.

The pressure disappeared surprisingly quickly.

An enlightenment arose in his heart.

Whether it is the previous greed or the subsequent burden, it actually comes from one's own heart.

The greed in one's heart distorts what one sees and blinds one's mind from seeing the truth.

Later, I saw the truth clearly, but there was still desire in my heart. This desire, this want to obtain something, turned into pressure.

When he figured this out, he stood up, but his whole temperament had changed drastically. He was still there, but the place looked empty.

He walked up again, and this time, he walked so easily. Moreover, as he walked, golden light surged from his body and turned into a rainbow light that shot up to the top of the mountain.

When someone saw Zhao Fuyun turn into a rainbow and reach the top of the mountain, he was very anxious and also used the escape technique. However, at the moment when he used the escape technique, an invisible force seemed to fall from the void and crushed him directly. Sometimes, people are not defeated by external forces, but by their own desires that break through their rationality and are crushed by their own unattainable goals.

Zhao Fuyun arrived at the top of the mountain, but did not see any temple, only pillars.

And these pillars are engraved with mysterious runes.

The ground at the top of the mountain is also engraved with layers of cloud patterns.

Zhao Fuyun suddenly felt that this pillar might represent a star.

I looked up at the nebula, wondering if it looked like the same cloud pattern on the top of the mountain where I was, but after staring for a while, I couldn't see it.

He began to walk among the pillars on the top of the mountain. When he reached the center, he saw a stone tablet with words engraved on it.

He didn't know which ethnic group the words on the stone tablet belonged to, and he didn't recognize them. He could only try to feel the charm of the words with his mind.

After careful experience and feeling, I actually felt it.

I could vaguely hear someone chanting like he was offering sacrifice to the heavens.

"I was born in the netherworld, and have practiced for thousands of years. I have gathered countless people, and my merits and virtues are destined by heaven. However, the great catastrophe is approaching, and I cannot bear to see my people displaced and perishing. I cut down white wood to make a boat that can carry tens of thousands of ghosts. I want to lead the netherworld clan to cross the void and ascend to the great world. I pray for God's mercy."

Zhao Fuyun sensed the charm of the stone tablet, and vaguely seemed to see a huge ship parked on top of the pillars, and then flew into the sky in a radiant light.

He even vaguely saw a man in a black robe standing at the bow, looking down. The other person's eyes were flashing with divine light, as if he could see through the eternal void and see Zhao Fuyun at this moment.

Zhao Fuyun's body shook and he woke up from that mysterious state.

The stone tablet in front of him suddenly cracked, and then quickly shattered. A ray of light seemed to rush out from it. Zhao Fuyun stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and caught the ray of light in his hand.

But it is a jade book.

As soon as his Dharma thoughts came into contact with it, a piece of text rushed into his mind.

"The Forbidden Book of the Netherworld!"

Also known as "Six Prohibitions on Desires".

Zhao Fuyun was surprised, but then he realized that this jade book was the basis of the forbidden techniques in this mountain.

At this time, the stone tablet shattered, the jade book came out, and the forbidden spell in the mountain was about to be broken.

Just then, a ray of light rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Zhao Fuyun looked closely and saw that the light fell on a huge pillar. The person was none other than Zheng Ji.

After him, two more beams of light rushed to the top of the mountain, one circled and landed on the giant pillar, surrounding Zhao Fuyun in the middle.

They all saw the broken stone tablet under Zhao Fuyun's feet.

He also saw the brilliance of the jade book in Zhao Fuyun's hand which he had not yet put away.

"It is said that a senior Jindan once entered the depths of this dark prison and climbed up Baishan Mountain. He said that there was an unparalleled magic on the top of the mountain, but no one has ever obtained the real thing." Zheng Ji looked at Zhao Fuyun coldly.

"Everything in the Netherworld belongs to Luodu. You are a foreigner and have no right to obtain these treasures. Put the things down and we will pretend that nothing has happened. We will also give you spirit stones as gifts and the Luodu Token, which will allow you to enjoy the privileges of a direct descendant of an aristocratic family in Luodu."

The other two also echoed the same opinion. At this moment, they all stood on the same side.

This is the rule set by the noble families in Luodu. If there is an external enemy, they will unite to fight against it. After driving away the enemy, everyone will share the benefits.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the three men.

The first person who came up seemed to have some kind of magic in his eyes, and he felt that the other person's eyes were very dangerous.

And among the other two people, one of them had actually met the old man from the Jingyang Gao family.

The other one was actually a heroic female cultivator. She was dressed like a male cultivator and had a sword at her waist. Although it was not unsheathed, Zhao Fuyun could already feel a sword intent locking onto him.

Before Zhao Fuyun could speak, the old man said, "Master, I am very polite. I never thought that we would meet here. Master, you are really capable."

After the old man finished speaking, the woman dressed as a man said, "Does Peng Bo know this Taoist priest?"

"We don't know each other, but we have met once." The old man said, "The first time we met, I was reminded by the Taoist priest, and we became good friends. So here, I am willing to be a middleman and mediate between the two of you."

He looked at Zhao Fuyun and spoke. Before Zhao Fuyun could answer, the woman continued, "If you want to reconcile, others may not agree."

So the old man bowed again and said, "Let the Taoist priest know that I am Gao Peng from the Gao family of Jingyang Road in Luo City. I am one of the elders of the clan. I was originally a dying man, but something happened in the Netherworld, so I wanted to use my remaining energy to do my part for the clan and Luo City."

Zhao Fuyun suddenly spoke up at this time, showing a smile, and said: "Old sir, there is no need to say these polite words, just tell me how you want to reconcile."

"Well, Taoist priest, you are so quick to speak. I will also have the nerve to speak to you today." Gao Peng looked at Zhao Fuyun's face and said, "What is that thing in Taoist priest's hand?"

"You might as well make a guess, old sir." Zhao Fuyun said.

"If what the Taoist priest has in his hand is a magic weapon, we in Luocheng are willing to buy it and will not let the Taoist priest lose any spiritual stones. If what the Taoist priest has in his hand is a secret book such as the Jade Book of Alchemy, we can let the Taoist priest copy a copy and then leave safely without restricting the Taoist priest's freedom to teach his disciples."

Zhao Fuyun sneered when he heard this and said, "My stuff is a magic weapon, but you only give me some spirit stones and I have to sell it even if I don't want to? It's a secret book, but I have to give it to you for free. I only took the copy, and I still need your permission to teach it. Is this the way of Luocheng?"

Gao Peng was not annoyed at all. Instead, he said in a friendly manner, "Master, you don't know that everything in the Nether Prison belongs to Luocheng, and Luocheng belongs to the noble families. When you came in, you must not have brought an access card. You are sneaking into the Nether Prison. If you are caught, you will be thrown into the prison."

"We didn't say we were going to arrest you and put you in jail. Instead, we're going to share the profits with you. You won't lose anything, and you can also gain the friendship of our Luocheng families. Why not do it?"

Zhao Fuyun looked at these three people. He could feel the heavy magic power in their bodies. He knew that they must have extraordinary magic skills to lead the team into the Nether Prison.

If he did as Gao Peng said, he could also get what he had, but looking at their expressions, he just didn't want to give it to them.

Why should I give it to you?
Before I had any cultivation, I was very cautious and submissive. Now that I have reached the Purple Mansion level, do I still have to be like this? It is true that I should seek a thorough and stable state in everything.

But if human nature is polished smooth and round over time, what is the point?

Zhao Fuyun had compromised before, but that was not his nature.

"What the old gentleman said makes sense, but as for me, the older I get, the worse my temper becomes. I once heard someone say that the reason for studying magic is not to save someone's face, but to measure the weight of heroes in the world."

"I think there is some truth in this. Today, I would like to weigh the weight of the Luodu aristocratic family."
