Chapter 58 The Hibiscus Tree, the Essence of the Sun
Buzz...
Firelight filled the sky, turning the heavens and earth a fiery red.
The entire star was like a furnace, scorching everything.
The crimson spiritual herbs that can be seen everywhere all exude the aura of flames.
Qinglian watched in amazement.
"If it's like this on the Sun, what's it like on the Moon?"
Taiyi suddenly spoke up and asked, "Where is Fellow Daoist Qinglian's Daoist temple located?"
Qinglian listened to Taiyi's question and knew that the other party wanted to test her background.
He immediately made no attempt to conceal the truth, saying, "I was born in the East Sea, but I had no choice but to leave due to the troubles of the three races."
Currently, I am temporarily cultivating in Kunlun Mountain, practicing alongside three fellow Daoists from the Pangu lineage, the Three Pure Ones.
He then changed the subject, saying, "The three of you are transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, possessing immense fortune and powerful origins."
Di Jun and Tai Yi both showed surprised expressions, and their expressions towards Qing Lian changed immediately.
As the saying goes, dragons do not dwell with snakes.
With such a prestigious lineage, the Three Pure Ones must be arrogant and would not cultivate alongside ordinary beings.
This is enough to demonstrate that Qinglian's background is equally extraordinary.
However, Qinglian did not explain, and the two of them did not feel comfortable asking directly.
Moreover, Qinglian just mentioned the threat of the three races.
This was clearly a reminder to Dijun and the other two that they were born very early.
They even participated in the war between the three races.
Di Jun said, "No wonder you are so powerful, fellow Daoist."
As they were speaking, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
A crimson-gold spiritual root composed entirely of flames appeared before them.
Golden flames flowed, hanging above a crimson spiritual root.
Countless Dao patterns are engraved on the tree trunk, demonstrating its power and extraordinary nature.
That flame was the true fire of the sun.
That spiritual root is the Fusang tree!
"This is?"
Qinglian looked surprised.
This isn't an act.
The moment Qinglian saw the Fusang tree, she felt the Seed of Creation within her sea of consciousness tremble once more.
Clearly, his opportunity lay in this hibiscus tree.
Di Jun said, "This is the innate spiritual root, the Fusang Tree, which is also the place where we were conceived."
"Since you've come here, fellow Daoist, why don't we discuss the Dao here?"
Taiichi also showed anticipation.
Qinglian readily agreed, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
The three of them arrived at the hibiscus tree and sat cross-legged.
Di Jun spoke first, "We were born from the Sun Star and are born to wield the true fire of the sun, making us the masters of flames."
"Today I will discuss the Dao of Fire with you, fellow Daoist."
Buzz...
The flowing flames danced and spun in the void, evolving into an endless path of fire.
Di Jun and Tai Yi are born masters of fire, lords of the sun, and great sun gods.
Born of flames, it descended upon the primordial world.
Their control over fire is exceptionally strong, a trait they were born with.
Qinglian sat under the hibiscus tree, listening to the two preach and was greatly inspired.
As time passed, Di Jun and Tai Yi finished their sermons, and Qing Lian then spoke.
The Dao spoken of by Qinglian is also the Dao of Fire.
Although he did not cultivate the Way of Fire, he had heard the transmission of fire from Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi.
The Way of Fire is not unfamiliar to me.
Qinglian's words also greatly benefited Dijun and Taiyi.
As the sermon ended, the smiles on Dijun and Taiyi's faces grew even wider.
"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Qinglian, who doesn't cultivate the Dao of Fire, would have such a profound understanding of it."
Emperor Jun praised.
Qinglian explained, "After hearing more, I've come to understand a bit. But it's your two fellow Daoists' use of fire that truly amazes me."
That's not a lie.
What Di Jun and Tai Yi just said gave Qing Lian some insights into the so-called Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique.
Given time, if she could integrate it into her own cultivation, Qinglian felt she could deduce a speed-based supernatural power that did not belong to the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow.
As for why they didn't directly cultivate the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, the reason lies in the True Fire of the Sun.
This is the innate flame of the Golden Crow clan, which no one else can control.
Otherwise, Di Jun and Tai Yi would not have so easily told Qing Lian the entire technique of the Golden Crow Transformation into a Rainbow.
The three sat there talking for a long time. Qinglian looked at the Fusang tree and said, "This spiritual root gave birth to two fellow Daoists. I wonder what mysteries it holds?"
As the saying goes, it is most taboo to speak too intimately with someone you don't know well.
Such a question is undoubtedly very sensitive.
However, the Fusang tree caused an anomaly in the Seed of Creation, which was related to whether Qinglian's own magical power could break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Qinglian couldn't care less about any of that now.
Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance after hearing Qing Lian's words.
Di Jun said, "This matter is a secret of ours, but since you have asked, we cannot hide it from you."
"The Sun Star possesses the true fire of the Sun. This Fusang tree is rooted on the Sun Star and can gather the essence of the Sun, which is equivalent to the essence of the Moon."
The sun is second only to the supreme yang, condensing the essence of the sun, which is the essence of the sun, and this is the foundation of the great sun.
Upon hearing this, Qinglian's eyes flickered slightly.
Essence of the Sun!
This is the true origin of Di Jun and Tai Yi!
The essence of the sun transforms into the golden crow, and the essence of the moon gives birth to the moon rabbit!
Sun, Moon!
The Way of Yin and Yang!
In an instant, a series of insights emerged in Qinglian's heart.
Creation evolves into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang create the world!
The sun and moon are precisely what creation requires, helping it evolve into yin and yang.
If Qinglian can draw upon the power of the sun and moon, she will not need to seek out the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
After realizing the truth, he was visibly moved.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist."
Qinglian spoke up, "To be honest, my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I need the essence of the sun to continue my cultivation. I wonder if that's possible..."
He looked at the hibiscus tree, wanting to obtain the source of the Great Japan.
Upon hearing this, Taiyi frowned slightly and said without hesitation, "The origin of Great Japan is related to the foundation of the Fusang Tree, please understand, fellow Daoist."
Di Jun remained silent, clearly acknowledging Taiyi's words.
Hearing such a clear rejection, the agitated expression on Qinglian's face instantly faded.
He said reluctantly, "I'm willing to exchange it for a magical treasure or something else."
Taiyi shook his head slightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Taiyi silently channeled his magical power.
Qinglian suddenly sighed, "In that case, I'll trouble you two fellow Daoists."
After saying that, he looked at the hibiscus tree with some regret.
Before Di Jun and Tai Yi's eyes, Qing Lian disappeared on auspicious clouds.
Only after he left did Dijun and Taiyi relax their guard.
Di Jun said slowly, "This Qinglian really managed to hold back; she didn't just snatch it directly."
To be honest, he was really worried that Qinglian would take action directly.
If they were to actually fight, the two of them might not be able to defeat each other.
Taiyi said dismissively, "He only has some brute strength. If we really fight, the bell in my hand is no pushover either."
He possesses a supreme innate treasure, so how could he fear the Azure Lotus?
……
Outside the Sun.
Qinglian stood in the void, gazing intently at the Sun Star, but ultimately did not act rashly.
"It hasn't come to that point yet."
While taking direct action might yield the Great Japanese Source, the Sun Star is, after all, the home turf of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, and there's also Taiyi's innate treasure.
Qinglian felt that her chances of winning were slim.
"Di Jun and Tai Yi are arrogant; it seems we need to find another way."
With that thought in mind, Qinglian left the Sun Star and flew towards the Moon Star.
"If you don't give me the Great Japanese resource, I'll have someone steal your wives!"
