Chapter 179 Yellow Gourd

"Indeed, the spacecraft and coordinates are ready. Theoretically, we should be able to go back." Zixia nodded slightly, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Don't indulge in those unrealistic fantasies," Yan Yixi's words were like cold water poured over her head, ruthlessly shattering Ji Ziyue's longings, "Without the interstellar domain gate, with only your lifespan, I'm afraid that as time goes by, until you are old and gray, you will never have the chance to see your hometown again."

"Interstellar travel is a field that only saints can set foot in." Yan Yixi sighed and turned his gaze to the ancient stone platform beside him, "Let's concentrate on looking at the inheritance here first."

Not long after, a "click" sound was heard in front of the stone platform.

Yan Yixi was groping in front of the stone platform and unexpectedly found a stone bookcase. He carefully opened the bookcase and found a sutra in front of him, with the three characters "Tao Te Ching" engraved on the cover.

"It's awesome! This is the supreme scripture of the old man riding a cow!" Yan Yixi said excitedly, but was interrupted by Ji Ziyue.

"Be more respectful!" Ji Ziyue warned with a smile, "Be careful, there are backup plans here, don't let yourself be suppressed."

The three of them gathered around and came closer upon hearing the sound. They were all a little excited. If they could get this precious sutra, this trip would be worth it no matter what.

This stone scripture looks extremely heavy, as if it carries the vicissitudes of thousands of years of history. The three large characters "Tao Te Ching" on the cover are not only simple and solemn, but also reveal a mysterious power, making people seem to see a picture: an old man riding a cow westward, with purple air sweeping 30,000 miles, passing through a place called Hangu Pass, and then condensed into a scripture.

"Yes, it should be the second half of the Tao Te Ching that can be practiced!" Zixia confirmed in her heart.

They couldn't wait to open the stone book. The paper was hard and thick, and felt unusual. However, when they turned the pages, they were surprised to find that the fonts on it were like fairy air, real and illusory, and elusive.

"Don't you understand?" Ji Ziyue frowned, with unwillingness flashing in her eyes, "Let me take a closer look, the supreme scripture is right in front of me, I will definitely be able to comprehend the mystery within."

Yan Yixi also looked embarrassed, and was obviously very confused by this scripture.

However, Zixia did not find it difficult at all. She quickly memorized the cultivation methods in it, which were quite similar to the Daoist Scriptures she had obtained before, but also different. They were like the scenery on both sides of the road, different but leading to the same destination. At the same time, Zixia also found that although some arguments were the same, the scripture drew completely different conclusions, which confused Zixia's understanding of the scripture.

Zixia shook her head slightly, and decided to temporarily put aside the disagreement in her heart and explore other precious inheritances in the Bajing Palace. After all, the art of transforming the Three Pure Ones into one Qi that she had longed for had now come true. She slowly stood up, and saw three auspicious clouds suddenly appear above her head, and then three bright fairy lights burst out from her crown, and they kept changing their forms in the air, as if they were evolving into human forms.

"Ah-"

The three fairy lights and the three auspicious clouds merged instantly, transforming into three figures that looked exactly like Zixia. The four Zixias looked at each other with tacit smiles on their faces. They were not simple incarnations, but four beings who were connected in mind and inseparable. However, this strange scene did not attract the attention of the two people who were concentrating on meditation.

Stepping into the Purple Palace, Zixia found that it was empty, with nothing but neatly arranged bookcases. At the end of the bookcases, there was an area covered by a complex array, which was hazy and difficult to see the real situation inside.

As Zixia gradually approached the area guarded by the array pattern, the array pattern seemed to sense her arrival and quietly opened the passage. Stepping into it, Zixia seemed to have stepped into a quiet space isolated from the world. There was no other sound except silence. In the center of the room, there was only an ancient stone platform, which seemed to have carried some heavy equipment. It still retained a faint Taoist charm, revealing an extraordinary momentum that seemed to be able to seize all the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Zixia approached the stone platform and found an ancient pottery jar and a scripture called "The Way of Alchemy" on it. On the wall of the stone room hung a crystal clear purple gold gourd, which was shining with purple light and looked as bright as if it had just been picked from a branch, emitting an attractive luster.

"Is this pottery jar supposed to contain a ray of the cow's incarnation?" Zixia speculated in her heart.

Her eyes fell on the purple-gold gourd again, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious: "The Dao of Alchemy plus the purple-gold gourd? Could this really be an alchemy room? And what was originally placed on the stone platform was an alchemy furnace? But where did the alchemy furnace go? Could it be that the story in the myth and legend really exists, and was it really kicked down from the Thirty-Three Heavens? Could the Flame Mountain I saw not long ago really be the legendary Flame Mountain?"

With full of curiosity and expectation, Zixia gently opened the lid of the purple gold gourd. However, the gourd was empty and no elixir was found. But even so, the faint elixir fragrance emanating from the gourd still made Zixia's cultivation soar in an instant, approaching the peak of the Dragon Transformation, and even showing signs of further breakthroughs. Feeling the surging power in her body, Zixia quickly closed the gourd lid, doing her best to suppress the power that was about to get out of control.

After finally suppressing her emotions, Zixia began to carefully examine the purple gold gourd in her hand. The purple light flowing on the gourd was like the brightest star in the night sky, which made people feel awe.

Then, Zixia slowly took out a black gourd from her bosom. The black gourd seemed to be a part of her body, emitting an indescribable mysterious aura. When she put the black gourd and the purple gold gourd together, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared, and a wonderful resonance seemed to occur between the two gourds.

This black gourd was her incarnation of the Dao Palace, conveying a mysterious message to Zixia: the two gourds were of the same origin, like brothers connected by blood. Then, a stream of purple-gold energy slowly flowed from the purple-gold gourd into the black gourd like a trickle.

Under the nourishment of this energy, the appearance of the black gourd began to undergo amazing changes. The surface that was originally as black as ink and seemed to have been burned by a raging fire began to gradually fall off, and layer after layer of black skin was like a faded old piece of clothing, revealing a simple and mysterious yellow. This yellow, like the soil deep in the earth, exudes a heavy and deep breath.

As the black skin fell off, the black gourd gradually revealed its true appearance. It was an indescribable beauty, majestic in its simplicity, and full of endless vitality in its majesty. Finally, all the black faded away, and the black gourd seemed to have been reborn, faintly emitting bursts of extreme power, which made people feel awe.

But the bad news is that she has lost contact with the Taoist Palace God, which means that Zixia must control it herself to fight, and she has lost the feeling of being able to do whatever she wants. However, there is a faint sense of extreme pressure in it, which can be regarded as a real protective weapon. Moreover, this purple gold gourd is also a rough embryo of an extreme weapon that has not been refined, and it has unlimited potential.

"Supreme divine power!" Ji Ziyue suddenly woke up from her contemplation, with shock flashing in her eyes.

Yan Yixi also felt the indescribable pressure, which was a kind of insurmountable gap that he had never experienced before. His face became solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the front, as if he wanted to penetrate everything and explore the source of the pressure.
