Chapter 516: The Immortal Binding Rope and the Book-Reading Oath

Views:

In various places in Jiufeng Mountain, all the immortal cultivators, regardless of the depth of their Taoism or the strength of their cultivation, felt something in their hearts and came out from their places of meditation, looking towards the direction of Xianlai Peak. From some locations, they could see Xianlai Peak clearly, while from other locations, although they were separated by other peaks, they could still see the rosy glow rising into the sky.

The light was like a kind of vertical haze rising upwards, showing the colors of white gold, black water, green wood, red fire, and yellow earth, with yin and yang, black and white showing, converging into a colorful cloud in the sky.

There is a fairy sound flowing within the Jiufeng Mountain. When you listen carefully, you just hear the whistling of the wind. When you are not paying attention, it seems like someone is gently stroking a pipa or playing a flute in the air.

The entire Xianlai Peak was in a state of flashing light, and was extremely conspicuous within the Jiufeng Mountain area.

The people from Yuhuaishan Mountain, who had been waiting in Jiufeng Mountain for six years, also rushed out of their residence. Wei Yuansheng, who had grown into a young man, seemed extremely excited and said to Qiu Feng while looking into the distance.

"Master, has the treasure been refined? Are Mr. Ji and Master Ju coming out of retreat? Can we return to Yuhuai Mountain soon?"

"Well, I guess it's done!"

Although Qiu Feng said so, in fact, the people in Yu Huaishan did not think that this treasure refining would fail. After all, any one of the five people who refined the treasure together would be extraordinary.

"Hahahahahaha, congratulations to all of you fellow Daoists from Yu Huaishan!"

Someone nearby burst into laughter, and Yangming quickly bowed to the side.

"Congratulations! Master Lu will also come out of retreat with us!"

Next to the dozen or so Yuhuai Mountain monks appeared three monks from the Qianyuan Sect. They had been living next to the people of Yuhuai Mountain for the past six years.

Among the three people from Qianyuan Sect, there is the old man who had previously fought with the monks from Dafeng Valley on the sea. In terms of cultivation, this old man is stronger than all the people present combined. At this moment, he is looking towards the direction of Xianlai Peak, stroking his beard and smiling.

"This treasure is of extraordinary quality. It is now blocked by the Nine Peaks Mountain Immortal Gate's restrictions and is located within the cave. If you get out, you will surely be struck by a heavenly calamity."

"That may not be the case!"

Hearing this voice, the people from Yuhuaishan Mountain and the three cultivators from Qianyuan Sect all turned sideways and saluted the headmaster of Jiufeng Mountain who had arrived here at some point in time.

"Greetings, Master Zhao!"

"You are a guest from afar, so you don't need to be polite."

The head of Jiufeng Mountain nodded to the people around him and turned his gaze back to Xianlai Peak.

"This treasure has an extraordinary aura, and it is full of auspicious signs. It is inevitable that it will bring about natural disasters, but it is not easy to call it a 'calamity'. The so-called calamity must correspond to difficulties and crises, but for this treasure, it must not be the case. Instead, it is a kind of ritual perfection, which can be called a 'heavenly blessing'."

Regardless of whether what the head of Jiufeng Mountain said was true or not, it made people feel very comfortable anyway.

And on this Qidao Peak, there are many immortal cultivators with great cultivation who are paying attention to Xianlai Peak. Under their eyes, the brilliance in the sky above Xianlai Peak appears in a circular wave state, rushing towards the distance again and again.

Brush... Brush... Brush...

After the light had bloomed countless times, all changes gradually subsided, and the entire Xianlai Peak returned to true tranquility. There was no more magic light for refining treasures, nor was there any auspicious light for revealing treasures.

In the Yunxia Garden of Xianlai Peak, Ji Yuan, Lao Long, the old beggar, Ju Yuanzi and Zhu Tingtao were sitting cross-legged. The mountains and rivers around them seemed very real a moment ago, but at this moment, as Ji Yuan put away his artistic conception, they turned back into the layout of the houses in Yunxia Garden.

In the center of where the five people were sitting, there was a coiled rope suspended in the air, with precious light flowing on it, dazzling and extraordinary, but at this moment all the light was disappearing, and finally turned into a thin purple-gold rope.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand, and the purple gold silk rope fell into his palm. It seemed to be made of special purple gold silk threads woven together, with short velvet tassels at one end and a small piece of white jade tied at the other end. In the eyes of the five people, obscure spiritual words appeared on it.

This spiritual text is no less than regular characters, or it seems to be a variant of the commonly used seal script. It has a faint Taoist aura flowing through it. Even so, the five people could understand its meaning at a glance.

"Tie the immortal rope?"

Zhu Tingtao frowned slightly and looked at Ji Yuandao.

"Mr. Ji, why is it called the Immortal Binding Rope? Why does it seem like it was made to bind immortal cultivators like me... but the Demon Binding Rope won't work?"

The main reason was that Lao Long was right next to him, and Zhu Tingtao, considering his feelings, did not say the words "bind the monster".

Ju Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled.

"I hope you have misunderstood. This 'immortal' is not the same as that 'immortal'. Immortals, in addition to having great supernatural powers, also have the idea of freedom, roaming around without restraint, and changing all things infinitely. The meaning of our pursuit of 'Tao' is also to pursue 'Tao'. Those who practice Buddhism, magic, demons, and spirits all have something in common, which is infinite and vast!"

Okay, this understanding is better than Ji Yuan’s own. What else is there to say? Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

"You are absolutely right, Friend Ju! If we call it 'the rope to bind Dao' directly, it would be too arrogant and extreme, and would not sound good. If we call it something else, it would easily cause misunderstanding among those who practice Dao outside the Dao. So we just call it 'the rope to bind Immortals'."

"Yes, it does sound better!"

"It makes sense, it's in accordance with the laws of nature, and it's also important to sound good!"

Several people nodded and discussed this last question which was not very profound.

The old beggar stared at the rope in Ji Yuan's hand.

"This treasure can definitely trap people. It took us six years to refine it. Its power to trap people must be extraordinary. But I'm sure this treasure is more than that."

"Well, I also have this feeling in my heart."

This time the treasure refining was more like a carving. The five people tried their best to work together to refine the treasure rope in Ji Yuan's hand to a perfect state. Except for having a vague concept of the function of the treasure rope, they were not overly restricted. Anyway, everyone knew that once this thing was refined, it would definitely be perfect.

Lao Long waited until the others had finished speaking before he spoke calmly.

"Let's go, send this treasure to see the world!"

Upon hearing this, the other four people stood up and flew out of Xianlai Peak together, heading towards the outside of Jiufeng Cave.

At the same time, rays of immortal light rose from each peak in Jiufeng Mountain, and flew towards the outside of Jiufeng Cave Heaven along with the clouds that the five people were stepping on. For a moment, it was a scene of a group of immortals following them, and the dazzling immortal light seemed as if the Immortal Tour Conference had resumed.

Outside the Jiufeng Cave Heaven, as soon as Ji Yuan and others left the Xuli Wheel Light Array of Jiufeng Mountain and saw the outside world, a faint aura of power emerged between heaven and earth, and even Ji Yuan and others felt depressed.

Without any hesitation, after flying for another quarter of an hour after leaving Jiufeng Cave Heaven, Ji Yuan threw the immortal rope in his hand into the sky and ignored it.

The other four people also stood beside Ji Yuan without any unnecessary movements, watching the Immortal Binding Rope fly high into the sky.

Faced with the upcoming "welcome" gift from Heaven and Earth for the Immortal Binding Rope, the best response for Ji Yuan and others is to watch from the sidelines. This time is different from Ji Yuan's last time writing "The Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth", the Immortal Binding Rope itself is a treasure, a treasure that can withstand the baptism of Heaven.

Behind Ji Yuan, Lao Long and the other four people were many immortal cultivators who came out of the Jiufeng Cave Heaven. They looked up to the sky, where a gray cloud was rapidly gathering, with streaks of lightning flashing and flowing.

"Boom... Boom..."

Amid the flashing lightning, the Immortal Binding Rope also began to shine brilliantly, the light was not bright, but it was hard to ignore.

"Crack... Boom..."

A bolt of lightning struck down, and when it hit the Immortal Binding Rope, a sharp golden light appeared.

“Click… Boom…” “Click… Boom…” “Click… Boom…”

The second, third, fourth, fifth...

Thunderbolts fell one after another, and the light colors they aroused were constantly changing. Each one brought a sense of oppression to all the onlookers, and this sense of oppression was getting stronger and stronger. However, when the thunderbolts hit the Immortal Binding Rope, they presented a colorful and gorgeous scene. It didn't look like a treasure transcending a calamity, but rather like the reappearance of auspiciousness.

It didn't take long, just half a quarter of an hour later, the thunder in the sky disappeared, and the gray clouds began to dissipate, leaving only the colorful and shining immortal rope in the sky.

After a moment, the immortal rope flew back, and after falling into Ji Yuan's hands, the precious light completely disappeared.

It was not until this moment that a group of immortal cultivators, led by the head of Jiufeng Mountain, behind Ji Yuan and the others began to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to the five fellow Taoists for refining the ultimate treasure!"

"Congratulations to everyone on getting out of quarantine!" "Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to the five of you for your successful treasure refining!"

"This is auspicious news from heaven. Congratulations to everyone!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Ji!"

Ji Yuan and the others naturally turned around to express their gratitude. Apart from anything else, just lending them such a suitable place as Xianlai Peak was already a great favor, not to mention that they had made great use of the power of the Jiufeng Mountain formation.

Compared with ordinary people, cultivators of immortality are considered to be pure and have few desires. But in this case, it is hard to refuse a celebratory banquet. However, it is naturally impossible for all the immortal cultivators present to attend the banquet. It is not about qualifications or not. They have stayed in Jiufeng Mountain for six years just to see the scene just now. In a quick glance, many people saw clearly that it was a magic weapon that looked like a rope. Even if there were some who did not see it clearly, they had already heard other Taoist friends explain it clearly. Now that their wishes have been fulfilled, it is time for them to return to the mountain. As for the function of the magic weapon, some of it can be guessed, and no one would offend the masters by asking in detail.

Three days later, at the top of Tiandao Peak, Ji Yuan and the four people who had refined treasures together stood on the discussion platform.

"In order to help me refine treasures, I caused you to miss the Immortal Tour Conference. Even for this help, I have no way to repay you!"

The old beggar smiled and shook his head.

"Haha, that's not the case! We didn't miss the Immortal Dao Conference. On the contrary, this conference was extremely exciting!"

"That's right! I hope this is the best Immortal Tour Conference I've ever experienced!"

"So does Ju!"

Not to mention Lao Long, coming here is considered to be a great experience, but he thought about it and added another sentence.

"Mr. Ji, we are friends, so it is only natural for us to help each other. And you don't have to say that you have nothing to repay me. Do you have something to repay me? During this discussion on Taoism and treasure-refining, didn't you say that you wanted to write a book?"

The old dragon winked at the people around him and sent a message to them, letting them understand Ji Yuan's ability to write the heavenly book. The "Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth" was something that was not tolerated by heaven and earth and was born out of disasters. The old dragon remembered it.

"Yes, yes! Mr. Ji wants to write a book. Let us take a look at it someday!"

"That's right! It's best for Mr. Ji to compile this book. You have never seen Mr. Ji's handwriting. It is already a text of the Dao realm. This book cannot be written without this handwriting!"

"Well, that couldn't be better!"

Although this kind of reward request is very important for immortal cultivators, it is a great relief for Ji Yuan.

"Okay, I will devote all my efforts to writing this article. You don't need to ask anyone to read it. I will place this article in a small place for cultivation. All the disciples or descendants of the four sects who have the right temperament can go and read it. This will never change, no matter how hard the times are!"

"Okay!" "It's settled over there!"

"That's wonderful!"

“Hahahaha, brilliant!”
