BXBX NOVEL Chapter 169 - Four Symbols Purgatory Array
Chapter 169: Four Symbols Purgatory Array
The Northern Mountains Lord was the ancestor of the Dao sects?
Or rather, he was the ancestors of the four great traditional Dao sects?
“If that’s the case then why is the Northern Mountains Lord’s name virtually unknown in the outside world?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“There’s no need for the people of the world to know about the Northern Mountains Lord. They only need to know about the ancestor of the Great Dao and the four great traditional Dao sects that he established. The Northern Mountains Lord belongs to the Northern Mountains Race, but the ancestor of the Great Dao belongs to the whole world,” Cloud said.
“Can you explain more about these things to me in detail?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“You have to do me a favor then.” Cloud smiled sweetly at Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression wavered.
This smile of hers was very clean and beautiful.
Meow!
The white cat called out lazily.
She spread her claws and observed seriously.
Lin Jiufeng asked, “What is it?”
“I want you to resolve the crisis of the Northern Mountains Race…”
“Those Daoist priests are eyeing us covetously, wanting to obtain the relic of their ancestor. They have already gone crazy from killing each other. There’s no way I can stop them at this point,” Cloud said solemnly.
At first, she also wanted to stop them.
But now, there were more than ten Boundless Realms experts down below.
Each sect had at least two, at most three…
Their auras were so ferocious that she knew in an instant that she wouldn’t be able to deal with them alone.
Once they really started fighting, both the Northern Mountains Ancient City and the Northern Mountains Race would suffer a great catastrophe.
“How are you so sure that I can help you?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“I can’t see through you. You are very powerful, at least stronger than me. In this world, there aren’t many people who are stronger than me. Each one of them is an extremely powerful existence.” Cloud explained.
“That makes sense.” Lin Jiufeng nodded, nodding at her wit.
“Then do you agree?” Cloud’s eyes lit up as she asked.
“Tell me the story behind the Northern Mountains Lord and the ancestor of the Dao Sects. I want to hear all of it.” Lin Jiufeng sat down in the sea of clouds.
White cloud condensed behind him and turned into a chair that supported his weight.
The white cat immediately jumped from Lin Jiufeng’s shoulder to his thigh.
She stared at Cloud with an unfriendly gaze.
Cats were very territorial, she was now guarding her territory.
Cloud didn’t care about the white cat.
She walked slowly in the cloud and began to tell Lin Jiufeng what he wanted to hear.
“The Northern Mountains Lord isn’t from the Central Plains. It’s wrong for the Dao sects to say that their ancestor is from the Central Plains.”
“The Northern Mountains Lord was already a member of the Northern Mountains Race when he was young. He was born here several epochs ago.”
“At that time, there was no Dao sect in the world just yet.”
“But back then, the Northern Mountains Race already existed.”
“In contrast to the Northern Mountains Race current standing in this brand-new era…”
“The Northern Mountains Race back then was very powerful. ”
“The dynasty they had created—the Northern Mountains Dynasty had practically unified the world under its banner. It was essentially invincible.”
“But as the Northern Mountains Lord grew up, he gathered hundreds of techniques and manuals from hundreds of sects and clans…”
“Together with studying the principles of the sages and inheriting the Dao techniques of his predecessors, he established the path of the Great Dao among the path of the Immortals.”
Cloud explained with a solemn look on her face.
“That was a long time ago…”
“Everyone still cultivated the techniques created by immortals back then. But the Northern Mountains Lord believed that their techniques were flawed—He believed that this world should be filled with myriads of flowers blooming at the same time…”
“Thus, he established the path of the Great Dao. Using the teachings of the predecessors, he carved open a path for the future generations.”
“Northern Mountains Lord took in only four disciples in his life. When he was old and weak, he passed down the sect he created to his disciples. He chose to bid farewell to them and returned to the Northern Mountains Ancient City where he was born and raised…”
“He left his legacy here and then disappeared.”
“Some said that he ascended…”
“Some said that he died of old age…”
“While some said that he went to suppress the demonic creatures all over the world.”
“But ultimately, no one knew where he went…”
“The people of the Northern Mountains Race never came to know about the Northern Mountains Lord due to his disappearance. They only know about his other identity as the ancestor of the Great Dao.”
Cloud talked tirelessly and explained in detail.
She slowly walked around Lin Jiufeng’s chair.
She explained the connection of the Northern Mountains Lord to the ancestor of the Great Dao.
“The Northern Mountains Lord… or rather, the ancestor of the Great Dao, where is the relic and legacy that he left behind?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
He was more concerned about this.
After all, the four great traditional Dao sects were competing for it.
“Look over there.” Cloud reached out and pointed behind Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng looked in the direction that she pointed.
She was pointing at the divine temple of the Northern Mountains Race!
“The temple is the relic left behind by the Northern Mountains Lord?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
“It’s beneath the divine temple…”
“Inside is the manual that contains all of his knowledge and wisdom—the Northern Mountains Sutra!”
Cloud said solemnly.
“The Northern Mountains Sutra is a peerless cultivation technique that can help anyone achieve the Immortal Realm.” A hint of desire appeared on Cloud’s face as she said these words.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression became strange.
A manual that contained all of his knowledge and wisdom that could help anyone reach the Immortal Realm?
It was the Northern Mountains Sutra?
He already has it!
“The Northern Mountains Sutra also has another name, the Daoist Scripture. The Daoist scripture is the general outline of the ultimate Dao techniques. It also has all of the Northern Mountains Lord’s cultivation techniques in its records.” Cloud further explained.
“How come the people of the Northern Mountains Race had no idea as to who the Northern Mountains Lord is?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Because when the Northern Mountains Lord returned to the Northern Mountains Race, he lived in seclusion. No one knew that the glorious ancestor of the Great Dao outside was actually a slovenly old man in the Northern Mountains Race.” Cloud explained.
In fact, even she only came to know about these things after obtaining the Northern Mountains Lord’s legacy.
It was also because of the legacy that she knew why the four Dao sects were trying to surround the ancient city.
“When will the Ancestral Ruins be opened and the relic be accessed?”
Lin Jiufeng curiously looked at the divine temple.
“I can open it whenever I want to. But to be honest, it’s also my fault that these Dao sects sensed the Northern Mountains Lord’s legacy. It’s all because I opened its seal at the divine temple…”
“But if it weren’t for the fact that I was continuously suppressing the Ancestral Ruins from above, the relic inside of it would’ve long appeared. If that happened, then the Northern Mountains Race would’ve surely experienced a disaster long ago.”
Cloud looked gloomy when she said all of these.
“Are you trying to say that we can’t take the relic outside?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Yes…”
“But now, I feel that it’s becoming more and more difficult to suppress it.”
“The traces of activity beneath the divine temple are slowly getting stronger. The people from the Dao Sects are also deliberately helping it break its suppression. In addition—even the relic itself—the Northern Mountains Sutra also wants to come into being …”
Cloud explained with difficulty.
“I have a solution!” Lin Jiufeng said firmly.
“Really?” Cloud looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise, her eyes filled with joy.
Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but take another look at the girl’s look of surprise.
Meow ~
The white cat purred.
“Her grandmother is your big sister.” The white cat sent a voice transmission to Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng sweated.
He only took a glance at her, that’s all.
“Bring me to that place beneath the divine temple. I will go there and set up an array formation.”
Lin Jiufeng stood up and said solemnly.
He looked straight ahead at the temple without looking at Cloud.
“What array formation are you going to set?” Cloud asked curiously.
“The Four Symbols Purgatory Array!” Lin Jiufeng said.
He previously received this Four Symbols Purgatory Array in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace. Since then, he never had the opportunity to use it. But today, he finally found a reason to do so.
With a flip of his palm, a formation blueprint and four statues appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s hand.
The four symbols represented the Vermillion Bird, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger.
Once the four statues were activated in tandem with the formation blueprint, a huge array formation would stir into action.
“This array isn’t just to suppress the Northern Mountains Lord’s relic. It will also teach those people from the four great traditional Dao sects a lesson that they will never forget!”
Lin Jiufeng sneered.
He could already imagine what was about to happen.
