The sun shone brightly in the sky, the clouds were clear, and banners fluttered and armor stood in the air at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Lei Xiao stood in the camp, gazing at the mountains, his brows furrowed with worry, his heart filled with anxiety.
Mo Xuan stood beside Lei Xiao, silent and respectful, like a humble disciple, but his face was tense
, his heart pounding.
Suddenly, his fingers touched something warm and smooth. Looking down, he saw a small hand quietly pulling his little finger.
The owner of the small hand had a solemn expression, but her eyes shone with a gentle tenderness.
"Qin'er..."
Mo Xuan's heart warmed, his tense mood relaxed considerably, and he couldn't help but give Yu Qin a gentle smile.
Yuqin pursed her lips slightly, as if about to respond, but suddenly her face flushed red, and she quickly turned her head away, awkwardly withdrawing
her hand at the same time.
Mo Xuan was secretly surprised, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his master looking at him with a half-smile, and his face couldn't help but turn red as well.
"You two are really lovey-dovey, even under my nose you can't help but be all lovey-dovey!"
Lei Xiao chuckled, making the two disciples blush and lower their heads in embarrassment.
"Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother, please have some tea to quench your thirst!"
A clear voice rang out, and Zi Bingyou walked over carrying a basket, just in time to relieve Mo Xuan and
Yuqin's embarrassment.
Zi Bingyou put down the basket, took out a teapot and teacups, poured a cup for each of the three, and said, "
King Li is currently coordinating the forces of various camps, and the Four Heavenly Kings have also begun preparations. I believe they will soon launch a counterattack on Longhu Mountain.
I had nothing to do, so I brewed some tea for Master, Senior Sister, and Senior Brother to quench their thirst."
Her voice was clear and sweet, and she was extremely obedient, making people feel very comfortable.
Lei Xiao took a sip of the tea and praised, "The taste is mellow, and the temperature is just right. It seems that You'er, your tea-brewing skills are truly exceptional
!"
Zi Bingyou smiled sweetly and said, "Master, you flatter me. I didn't have any skills in the mortal world; I only learned some
crude techniques. I'm sorry that Master made a fool of himself!"
Lei Xiao said, "The art of tea brewing is difficult to master without a refined and tranquil mind. It's clear that You'er, you were very well-mannered in the past!" Mo Xuan said
, "Junior Sister was born into a prestigious family, so her upbringing is naturally refined ." "Excellent!"
Yuqin asked curiously, "Hmm, the surname Zi is quite rare. Junior Sister, where exactly is your family?"
Zi Bingyou replied, "My family is just a remote tribe on the border, rarely connected with the outside world.
It's not surprising that Senior Sister hasn't heard of it!"
Mo Xuan teased, "Second Senior Sister, you've only been down the mountain for a short time. How could you possibly know all the surnames and clans in the world!"
Yuqin was displeased and pushed him, scolding, "You're so talkative!"
Mo Xuan was pushed by her, and his teacup suddenly trembled, spilling tea.
The moment the tea spilled, water droplets suddenly condensed in mid-air before slowly falling to the ground.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Lei Xiao's expression darkened slightly, and he whispered, "It's here!"
Mo Xuan and Yu Qin were still confused when they saw the sky darken, the heavens churn with clouds and lightning,
and in an instant, the sun sank in the west, night fell, and only twenty-eight constellations suddenly shone
brightly in the dark night sky, illuminating the entire Longhu Mountain.
Mo Xuan stared blankly, speechless for a long time.
Lei Xiao gently patted him and said, "This is the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sealing Heaven Formation. Under the cover of this starlight,
time on Longhu Mountain has been frozen!"
Li Tianwang led the Four Heavenly Kings out of the tent and said, "Master Lei Xiao, the Sealing Heaven Formation has been set up. It's time to
counterattack. I request that you and your disciples each perform your duties and cooperate with our army's offensive!"
Lei Xiao returned the salute and said, "Please give your orders, Heavenly King!"
Li Tianwang said, "I plan to attack the mountain in four routes. The central route will be led by me and the Four Heavenly Kings. " " Attack! We'll entrust the left and right flanks
to the Jade Void Palace for assistance!"
Lei Xiao said. "I'll be in charge of the left flank, and Junior Brother Lingjing and Junior Sister Yun will be in charge of the right flank."
Li Tianwang nodded: "Very good. The left and right flanks will seek opportunities to attack!"
In military formations, flanking maneuvers are meant to coordinate with the central army to break through the enemy's formation. Once an opening is created, they can join forces with the central army
to annihilate the enemy. Li Tianwang had studied under Daoist Ran Deng and had a close relationship with the Jade Void Palace, so he naturally felt comfortable
entrusting this important task to Lei Xiao and the others.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King paused for a moment, then continued, "That group of evil people is ferocious and tyrannical. Even with the Heaven-Sealing Formation to help, if we push them too
hard, it will cause excessive damage and be detrimental to our army. Therefore, we plan to surround three routes and leave one route undefended. We will
entrust the remaining rear route to the two of you from Penglai Immortal Island. I request that you, my nephew Yichen and Fairy Zhu, set up an ambush on the rear route of Longhu Mountain to intercept and kill the
evil people!"
This arrangement not only gave face to Yuxu Palace but also did not neglect Penglai Immortal Island, distributing the credit equally among the various immortals
. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's actions were very skillful.
Yi Chen said, "My nephew and Jing Zhuo have set up the Three Fires Returning to Origin Formation behind Longhu Mountain, ensuring those demons
cannot escape!"
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked, "This is the first time I've heard of this formation. Did you create it yourself, my nephew?"
Yi Chen replied, "To my shame, this formation was created by my mother combining the techniques of myself and Jing Zhuo!"
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "Three Fires Returning to Origin…hmm, that name has a profound meaning. In that case, the task of intercepting them from the rear is entrusted
to you, my nephew!"
Yi Chen said, "I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
After the arrangements were completed, the war drums sounded, the Heavenly Army broke camp, and attacked the mountain again.
Because of the starlight, time on Longhu Mountain seemed to stand still, and the Dragon-Tiger Qi ceased to circulate; everything on the mountain
was frozen in time.
The Five Heavenly Kings led their celestial soldiers up the mountain, encountering only minor demons and monsters frozen in place by starlight.
They found no trace of the evil tyrants like Wu Yaoyun, Zhang Jiao, or Wan'e. However, the Heavenly Master's Mansion's terrain was complex; the Seven Star Caves,
seemingly arranged in rows, were intricately interwoven, preventing the Five Heavenly Kings from immediately locating the enemy leader for a decisive battle.
Lei Xiao led Mo Xuan and Yu Qin up the mountain from the left flank, while Ling Jing, Yun Ruoxi, Chi Song, and Yi Xuzi handled the right flank, and Zi
Bingyou remained at the main camp.
Meanwhile, Lei Xiao and his disciples, pressing in from the flank, entered the Jade Balance Cave, only to be met with an array of phantom soldiers that appeared out of thin air
, surrounding the three.
Mo Xuan roared, "Phantom soldiers again! Zhang Jiao, you dog, show yourself and face your death!"
As he spoke, he gathered his true essence, absorbed and transformed it, and let out a long shout, his voice like a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl, as
the power of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core resonated forth. The
supreme yang energy surged across the land, and the phantom soldiers, as if encountering their nemesis, instantly vanished like bubbles.
Wherever the energy passed, the phantoms shattered, and the evil path was revealed. Zhang Jiao glared angrily, his tone filled with jealousy: "
That scoundrel Zhang Daoling, I served him for so many years, and in the end, he gave the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core to an outsider."
Mo Xuan said: "Zhang Jiao, your evil deeds are beyond measure. Today, I will cleanse the sect for Zhang Tianshi!"
Zhang Jiao roared: "Speaking such nonsense! I will first cut you open and dig out the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core!"
He formed a hand seal, condensing a dazzling talisman pattern, the most skilled talisman technique of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The talisman was called the Azure Thunder Talisman. As soon as the technique was activated, a barrage of azure lightning struck. Mo Xuan, in a moment of inspiration, used his
Wind-Riding Divine Power, his body moving like a wisp of silk, dodging the lightning with exquisite skill.
Lei Xiao, seeing Mo Xuan's further progress, couldn't help but feel gratified, saying, "Yuan Tian, since Master Zhang has bestowed
the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir upon you, then go all out and do it! Don't let Master Zhang down!"
Seeing his master's support, Mo Xuan's confidence soared. He gathered his vital energy, the Dragon-Tiger Qi merging into his Nine-Turn Elixir, and roared to the sky,
unleashing a torrent of magical power that forced the lightning to stay at least five steps away.
Then, he circulated his true essence, channeling spiritual energy into his head. His left hand formed the Wind-Riding Seal, and his right hand condensed the Flame-Spitting Seal, simultaneously
activating the Eight-Nine Mystic Techniques, wind and fire swirling together to form a massive wheel of wind and fire that crashed down upon Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao drew another divine light talisman, condensing light from all directions into a shield to block the giant wheel of wind and fire. However, the wind was fierce and
the fire intense, and the divine light talisman shattered instantly.
Enraged, Zhang Jiao thought to himself, "This little thief has greatly increased his cultivation after obtaining the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill! I'll see how you deal with
the Taiping Scripture of your Jade Void Palace!"
With that thought, Zhang Jiao flicked his sleeve and activated the Four Symbols Profound Power, stretching out a single palm to form a giant hand that crushed
the giant wheel of wind and fire.
At the same time, Dong Gui, Huang Du, and Wan E appeared simultaneously, each unleashing their supernatural powers, attacking Lei Xiao head-on.
Zhang Jiao chuckled and used the "Primordial Mist Technique" from the Taiping Scripture, summoning countless illusory mists to separate
the battlefield, separating Lei Xiao from Mo Xuan and Yu Qin.
The three demons, including Huangdu, surrounded Lei Xiao, sneering, "You old Taoist, let's play with you first, don't interfere with the Great
Master's dealing with your wicked disciple."
Lei Xiao calmly smiled, "Although my disciple is incompetent, he is still a member of the Jade Void Sect. Evil cannot prevail over good. Zhang Jiao is just a heretic demon
, how could he be an enemy of the righteous path!"
Donggui said, "Old Taoist, I want to see how evil can prevail over good!"
The three demons unleashed their unique skills, attacking from three sides. Lei Xiao, unable to overcome them all, used various divine means with ease. Even
fighting three against one, he was more than capable, forcing the three demons to scramble for cover.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, Lei Xiao's figure blurred, releasing a burst of innate qi. The qi was drawn together, seemingly illusory yet real, transforming
into a raging sandstorm that swept across the sky.
Donggui used his Yin-Yang ghost qi to protect himself, but the sandstorm condensed into a long spear, piercing through his protective ghost qi and
leaving a bloody hole in his shoulder.
Huang Du hurriedly stepped in to fill the gap, only to see Lei Xiao flick his wrist, transforming his qi into ice, which then solidified into a blade—a
massive ice blade resembling a ghost's head—flying out of thin air.
Huang Du quickly gathered his poison power and claws, using the "Blood Poison Hand" technique
to clamp down on the ice blade, while simultaneously channeling his blood-fiend poison to incinerate it.
After the ice blade was incinerated, scorching flames erupted from it. Huang Du couldn't dodge in time, and his palms were burned red-hot,
causing excruciating pain.
"The old Daoist's alchemical fire?"
Huang Du realized the origin of the fire and was extremely surprised. Lei Xiao laughed heartily, "There's something else you can't even imagine!"
The alchemical fire transformed from pure yang to pure yin, its color turning a ghostly blue-green—it was a unique fire technique from the Ghost Path
—the Netherworld Fire.
Even the Eastern Ghost hadn't mastered such a fire technique, yet now it was being used by a righteous immortal, how could the evil ones
not be astonished?
Lei Xiao pointed his finger, and countless fireballs of Netherworld Fire condensed and struck Huang Du. Huang Du dodged left and right, barely managing to defend himself,
but the chilling sensation from the burst of fire made him extremely uncomfortable.
The Void Spiritual Essence is formless and without form, but as long as the user's cultivation is deep enough, it can manifest countless forms and methods, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil
, all within a single thought.
Wan'e Demon General, watching from the side, was alarmed, thinking, "This fellow truly lives up to his reputation as a peak figure from Kunlun Mountain. In a direct confrontation,
our chances of victory are slim. We should follow the Immortal Venerable's advice and focus on stalling and prolonging the battle."
Having experienced Lei Xiao's power firsthand, Huang Du and Dong Gui dared not be reckless. Using the terrain to their advantage, they moved and engaged in close combat
, trying to create more opportunities for Zhang Jiao.
On the other side, Zhang Jiao displayed the ultimate techniques of the Taiping Dao, sometimes summoning wind and rain, sometimes conjuring clouds and thunder. In contrast, Mo Xuan, based on
the Nine Revolutions Elixir, wielded the Dragon-Tiger Qi. His palm strikes shifted, sometimes transforming into a fierce tiger to suppress the wind, sometimes into a divine
dragon to devour thunder.
Yu Qin watched the battle with surprise and joy. She remembered encountering Bo Cai of the Yellow Turban Army when she first left Kunlun. At that time,
Bo Cai had rendered them helpless by merely using a talisman to draw out Zhang Jiao's magic. However, this black-faced man could now
hold his own against Zhang Jiao's true form.
Seeing that the battle was protracted, Zhang Jiao's jealousy and hatred deepened. He roared, "Zhang Daoling, once I capture this brat, I will
throw him into the alchemy furnace in front of you and refine the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir again!"
Mo Xuan flicked his wrist, combining the Dragon-Tiger Qi to unleash a powerful "Swallowing Blade" attack
.
Zhang Jiao drew a talisman with one hand, and a thick, hard "Golden Shield Talisman" materialized
, blocking the sword energy like a shield.
Just as the sword and shield were locked in a stalemate, Yu Qin pointed her jade finger, remotely unleashing a fiery divine power. A thick, scorching flame
swept out, the very same Dan Huo Divine Technique taught by the Spirit Realm.
Fire overcomes metal; the Dan Huo burned the golden shield, and Zhang Jiao's talisman began to weaken. With the balance shifting, the shield
shattered, and the sword energy swept straight towards them.
Just as the sword energy touched Zhang Jiao's body, the demon split in two, transforming into two figures. One on the left was as fiery
as fire, and the other on the right was as cold as ice—one yang, one yin, a truly profound sight.
The yin and yang clones attacked from the left and right. The yang body blocked Mo Xuan, while the yin body angrily charged at Yu Qin, shouting:
"You little bitch, you're courting death!"
Yuqin felt a chilling wind sweep over her, piercing to the bone.
She quickly unleashed her inner fire with both palms to defend herself. The Yin body countered, its Yin energy extinguishing the fire.
Yuqin's teeth chattered from the cold, her face ashen, her blood seemingly frozen.
Zhang Jiao's Yin body pointed a finger at Yuqin's brow, intent on cruelly destroying her.
In this critical moment, Mo Xuan forced out his Dragon-Tiger Qi, condensing it into a clone to shield Zhang Jiao's Yin body and
save the beauty.
"Qin'er, are you alright?"
Mo Xuan asked.
Yuqin's body stiffened from the cold, she hugged her arms and trembled, her lips pale, stammering, "I,
I... I'm alright..."
Mo Xuan, seeing this, was heartbroken and roared, "You demon! Even without Zhang Tianshi's entrustment, I wouldn't let you go!"
Zhang Jiao's two avatars sneered simultaneously, "Pretty boastful! Let's see what you're capable of!"
As they spoke, they transformed again, once more condensing five elemental avatars—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the most
profound Yin-Yang Five Elements Body from the Taiping Jing.
Yin-Yang and the Five Elements complemented each other, possessing immense power; every movement carried the force of wind and thunder. Zhang Jiao multitasked,
controlling his seven avatars, constantly changing spells and talismans, sometimes summoning lightning, sometimes drawing flames, sometimes
stirring up giant waves, sometimes conjuring swords and blades, sometimes moving mountains, sometimes causing countless trees to grow… It was as if seven people were attacking, yet also as if
one person was using seven different spells.
Mo Xuan was trapped by his seven clones, unable to move, struggling to stay afloat, and clumsily defending himself.
Although he was at a disadvantage, he had encountered many fortuitous events and faced numerous life-or-death situations since descending the mountain. Therefore, he
remained calm in this predicament, pondering a strategy to defeat his enemy. He thought, "The demonic arts are ever-changing and unpredictable . The only way to break them
is to use simplicity to overcome complexity, or to fight against their transformations."
To use simplicity to overcome complexity required sufficient cultivation to unleash the simplest and most powerful move in one strike, but
Mo Xuan did not possess such an advantage at the moment. Therefore, he chose the second method: fighting against Zhang Jiao's transformations.
Mo Xuan's mind was as still as water, his intention clear and empty, transforming the formless into the formless, the shapeless into the shape, from emptiness into reality. Using the Nine
Revolutions Elixir and Dragon-Tiger Qi as his foundation, he created seven clones, identical to Zhang Jiao's, which was none other than Lei Xiao's ultimate technique
—Void Spiritual Essence.
Mo Xuan's seven clones also possessed the energies of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, simultaneously unleashing various transformations of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, gradually
beginning to turn the tide.
The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were inherently the strongest transformational divine power in the world, and coupled with the spiritual essence of the void, the situation gradually tilted.
Mo Xuan fought with increasing ease, channeling his pure Yuan True Qi to its limit, generating seventy-two clones, each
unleashing a different divine power transformation: Reverse Blade Qi, Fireballs, Thunder Force… various attacks came one after another, leaving Zhang
Jiao dizzy and drenched in sweat.
Zhang Jiao was both anxious and furious, withdrawing his clones and preparing to launch a full-force attack, but Mo Xuan was a step faster. The seventy-two
clones instantly merged into one, delivering a simple straight punch to Zhang Jiao's chest without hesitation.
Zhang Jiao had already prepared for this; no matter what kind of magic Mo Xuan used, he was confident he could counter it with the power of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, or the Four Symbols
. Who knew his opponent would deliver such a simple, brutal, and direct attack?
Zhang Jiao was stunned. Without thinking, he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
This punch resembled the style of Lü Bu and Zhang Fei—skillful yet unpretentious, powerful and direct. The force of the punch contained
the might of seventy-two layers of divine power. Not only did it break both of Zhang Jiao's arms, but the force also slammed into his chest, causing him to vomit
blood and fly away like a kite with a broken string.
"Well done!"
Yuqin seemed to have forgotten the cold. Her two small, white hands clapped involuntarily, full of pride and
joy.
Mo Xuan quickly went over to support her, simultaneously channeling a stream of spiritual energy to dispel the chill.
Yuqin's face, which was gradually regaining its rosy hue, suddenly showed a look of horror. Before Mo Xuan could react, he was
struck hard and sent flying, crashing into the cave wall.
Mo Xuan was bleeding from all seven orifices, suffering terribly. If he hadn't taken two golden pills, he would probably have already died.
He struggled to his feet, his eyes stained with blood. In his dazed state, he saw a graceful figure standing not far
away, her hair as black as ink, her eyes like autumn water, a silver mask covering her face—it was Wu Yaoyun.
Lei Xiao roared, "Wu Yaoyun, how could you be so shameless as to ambush a junior!"
Wu Yaoyun laughed, "All's fair in war. On the battlefield, there's only victory or defeat, not shamelessness!"
Clang! Seeing her lover injured, Yuqin disregarded the difference in strength, roared, and drew her sword to
stab at Wu Yaoyun.
Wu Yaoyun pointed a finger, casually casting a spell to immobilize her, then slowly walked towards Mo Xuan,
her autumn-water eyes filled with a half-smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Mo Xuan felt a fragrant breeze rush towards him, his scalp tingling. Without thinking, he raised his hand and unleashed
a "Flame Spit"
technique. Wu Yaoyun sneered, lightly waving her sleeve to create a gust of wind that dispersed the fireball and sent
Mo Xuan tumbling about.
Mo Xuan quickly used his Wind Control technique to stabilize himself amidst the swirling wind, simultaneously striking out with both palms and using the wind's momentum to unleash
a Palm Thunder strike. This Palm Thunder strike combined Dragon Tiger Qi, releasing a powerful lightning force like a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping.
Wu Yaoyun coldly snorted, lightly raising her jade hand, a radiant light like rosy clouds condensing in her palm, its power even more domineering,
shattering the Dragon Tiger Thunder strike into pieces.
Lei Xiao hurriedly warned, "It's a radiant lightning bolt! Yuan Tian, don't confront it head-on!" Mo Xuan, having learned
his lesson, quickly tried to dodge, but this radiant lightning bolt was no ordinary weapon. Even though Mo
Xuan tried to dodge, the residual force still aggravated his injuries, sending him crashing through the cave wall and falling to the other side of the cave.
Wu Yaoyun, seemingly intent on finishing him off, took a step and gave chase.
Lei Xiao desperately tried to rescue him, but was entangled by the three evil figures and unable to escape for a short time. Zhang Jiao, who had been injured by Mo Xuan,
also stood up and, disregarding his injuries, joined the attack, determined to hold Lei Xiao back.
Lei Xiao quickly transmitted his thoughts, "Yuan Tian, hold on! Master will come to save you!"
Hearing this, Mo Xuan struggled to escape, his body shattered.
Lei Xiao's expression suddenly hardened, his face turning grim, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Get out of my way!"
To save his beloved disciple, he held nothing back. The Kunlun Daoist simply waved his hand, and a strange, unseen force suddenly rose from the ground.
The four evil spirits knew this wind was unusual and tried to dodge it, but they were instead entangled by its force and unable to move
. They tried to defend themselves, but the wind ignored their defenses and poured directly into their bodies, twisting their internal organs, causing their bones to feel like they were about to break, and their souls to tremble violently,
causing them unbearable suffering.
"Not good... this is the Crow Wind!"
Huang Du realized and hurriedly warned the others with his voice. The other three evil spirits were terrified upon hearing this and cried out
that their lives were over! In all the myriad realms, any cultivator who wants to achieve immortality must undergo three calamities, one of which
is the Crow Wind Calamity. Once one fails to withstand this calamity, one's body and soul will be destroyed, and one will never be reborn.
The four evil spirits had already lost most of their lives to this Crow Wind and were on the verge of death. If it continued for a while, they would surely
perish in the netherworld and return to the Yellow Springs.
Knowing Wu Yaoyun's methods, Lei Xiao feared his beloved disciple's life would be in danger even in the next moment. After severely injuring the four evil men
, he stopped lingering and leaped out of the encirclement to rescue Mo Xuan. He also released Yuqin from her restraints and said, "Qin'er,
come with me quickly!"
The two jumped into the broken cave wall and hurried along the cave passage, but they couldn't find any trace of Mo Xuan and Wu Yaoyun. Instead,
they sank deeper and deeper, as if they were lost.
Lei Xiao stopped and frowned, saying, "This is bad, we've fallen into her trap!"
Yuqin was anxious and shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's going on? Will Black Charcoal Head be alright?
Where are we?"
Lei Xiao said, "The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain is laid out with the Big Dipper constellation, containing forty-nine hidden transformations that can trap
enemies, leaving them unable to advance or retreat! I was in such a hurry to save them that I forgot this crucial point."
Yuqin's face turned pale with anxiety, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lei Xiao sighed, "It will take some time to break this deadlock. May the heavens grant us good fortune!"
Yu Qin's expression hardened slightly, and she hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Lei Xiao saw through her hesitation and said, "Qin'er, just say what you have to say!"
Yu Qin tugged at the hem of her clothes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, with your cultivation, you could
have suppressed those evil creatures from the beginning. Why have you been so lenient with them? Otherwise, Black Charcoal Head wouldn't have..."
Lei Xiao's expression darkened, and Yu Qin suddenly became timid, not daring to speak further.
After a long silence, Lei Xiao slowly sighed and said, "I have entered the Three Corpse Tribulation. The stronger my supernatural powers,
the closer the tribulation!"
Yu Qin's face paled, and she covered her lips with her jade hand.
The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and tribulations. The most dangerous tribulations are three: the first is the Tribulation of Life and Death in the Mortal World. This tribulation
is the chasm between mortals and gods and demons. There is a poem that says: "Jump out of the Tribulation of Life and Death in the Mortal World, cultivate the Elixir of Immortality,
erase your name from the Book of Life and Death, and from then on, enjoy freedom in the Three Realms."
This tribulation is merely the beginning of one's path to enlightenment. With profound magical arts or the assistance of a master or magical treasure, successfully overcoming
it is not difficult. For example, Yuqin and Moxuan overcame this tribulation in their early twenties, forming their inner elixir and achieving immortality
.
The second great tribulation is the Three Calamities, consisting of thunder, fire, and wind. Birth ,
aging, sickness, and death are the natural cycle of the universe, but those who attain enlightenment, though they may retain their youth and prolong their lives, are seizing the creation of heaven and earth and encroaching upon the
mysteries of the sun and moon, naturally intolerant of heaven, earth, and the spirits.
Several years later, the second great tribulation will descend, known as the Three Calamities.
The first calamity is the thunder calamity; cultivators must see their true nature and understand their heart to avoid it beforehand.
If they can avoid it, their lifespan will be as long as heaven; if not, they will perish.
Then comes the heavenly fire calamity, neither celestial nor mortal fire, but called Yin fire.
It burns from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, penetrating directly to the Niwan Palace, turning the five internal organs to ash and the four limbs to decay, rendering a thousand years of arduous practice
futile.
Finally, a calamity of wind descended from the heavens. This wind was neither the winds of the southeast, northwest, nor the gentle north wind, nor
the wind of flowers, willows, pines, and bamboos. It was called the Crow Wind, which blew into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passed through the dantian, and pierced through the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to disintegrate, and the body to disintegrate on its own.
The third great tribulation is the Tribulation of the Three Corpses. Once one's cultivation reaches the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one must face this tribulation. If one
can overcome it, one will cultivate an indestructible golden body and truly live as long as heaven and earth. If one cannot overcome it, at best one will lose all cultivation and fall into reincarnation, and at worst one
will perish both body and soul, unable to be reborn.
This tribulation, unlike the previous two, does not appear in a specific form. Instead, it is extremely elusive and unpredictable, manifesting as
natural disasters, geological calamities, or man-made catastrophes. Most immortals of the Chan and Jie sects during the Shang and Zhou dynasties faced this tribulation.
Those with deep blessings could overcome it, such as the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan sect, who achieved perfect merit and attained immortality, or like Yang Jian and Nezha, who achieved physical sainthood
and enjoyed eternal immortal bliss. Those with lesser blessings could obtain a second chance for rebirth, but at the cost of relinquishing their immortal bones and entering the ranks of gods, becoming
subject to the Heavenly Court, such as Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds, and Huang Feihu. Those with insufficient blessings suffered complete annihilation, body and soul,
never to be reborn.
This tribulation was not easier to overcome with greater supernatural powers; on the contrary, those with stronger powers faced even
more terrifying tribulations. For example, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds possessed extraordinary supernatural powers; their Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation nearly captured all the immortals of the Chan sect,
yet ultimately provoked the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Supreme Lord Laozi.
Knowing the severity of this calamity, Yuqin was terrified and asked, "Master...Master, can you avoid it?"
Lei Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "The hope is very slim. If we can hold out until the Investiture of the Gods descends, there might be a
glimmer of hope...That's why I've been suppressing my power, lest I force my way in and attract this Three Corpses Tribulation."
Tears welled up in Yuqin's eyes as she said, "Since Master is facing such a great calamity, why did the Sect Leader still
send you down the mountain?"
Lei Xiao said, "It wasn't your Sect Leader who sent me down the mountain; it was my own choice."
Yuqin asked, "Why? Why didn't Master wait on the mountain until the Investiture of the Gods descended?"
Lei Xiao said, "I foresaw that you and Yuan Tian would face a fatal calamity this time. If I hadn't gone down the mountain, you two
would have certainly died!"
Hearing this, Yuqin could no longer hold back her tears and wept uncontrollably.
Lei Xiao gently tapped her forehead, laughing and scolding, "You brat, your master isn't dead yet!
What are you crying about? Do you really want to mourn me like this?"
Yuqin lowered her head, wiping away her tears, and murmured, "Master is incredibly powerful and blessed; he'll definitely be alright.
I'm not crying, I'm not crying..."
Meanwhile, Mo Xuan, ambushed by Wu Yaoyun, was severely injured and desperately running for his life. Wu Yaoyun seemed to be playing a cat-and-mouse
game, not in a hurry to kill Mo Xuan, but rather chasing him at a leisurely pace. Mo Xuan ran fast...
She quickened her pace, taking a few steps if necessary, and slowing down if he fell behind, always maintaining a safe distance.
Mo Xuan rushed forward, passing through countless caves, and unknowingly arrived at Zhang Daoling's former alchemy
room. A sudden thought struck him: "Heaven is on my side! I'll seek the help of the Celestial Master; at least I can buy some time."
Behind him, Wu Yaoyun also made her move. Just as Mo Xuan reached the alchemy room, she flicked her sleeve, unleashing a
gust of wind that struck Mo Xuan hard in the back, sending him tumbling into the room.
Mo Xuan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, nearly fainting.
"You brat! You've ruined my plans time and time again! Even Zhang Daoling can't save you today!"
Wu Yaoyun roared angrily, leaping into the alchemy room.
Just then, a deep, resonant voice rang out, "Witch, who said I couldn't save her!"
Zhang Daoling's primordial spirit cast a spell from afar, transforming energy into form, solidifying into his true physical body. He swept his palm to block Wu
Yaoyun, then a gust of wind dragged Mo Xuan into the underground barrier.
Having escaped the jaws of death, Mo Xuan hadn't even had a chance to breathe before coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, demonstrating the ruthlessness of Wu Yaoyun's methods.
Zhang Daoling said, "Suppress your Qi in your dantian, gather your spirit in your Niwan point, breathe deeply, embrace the dragon and tiger!"
Mo Xuan followed his instructions, guiding the dragon and tiger Qi throughout his body, instantly dispelling the stagnation and pain, and feeling much better.
"Thank you again for saving me, Celestial Master!"
Mo Xuan hurriedly bowed to Zhang Daoling in gratitude.
Zhang Daoling laughed heartily, "You're quite something, kid! You actually attracted the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sealing Heaven Formation! Now
, we can deal with Wu Yaoyun and her gang of evil cultivators without damaging the Dragon Tiger Mountain seal!"
Before he finished speaking, a crisp cracking sound rang out. Mo Xuan turned his head and
saw that the dragon-tiger stone sculpture that was holding Jiang Chen's body had developed cracks, and the cracks were still widening.
"The seal... not good!"
Mo Xuan only heard Zhang Daoling exclaim in alarm, followed by a surge of powerful primordial spirit power. Zhang Daoling
's body suddenly radiated dazzling light, and a continuous stream of magical power poured into the seal. The dragon-tiger stone sculpture seemed to come alive,
showing the form of a dragon leaping and a tiger soaring, firmly suppressing Jiang Chen.
Seeing that the seal had been repaired, Mo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a strange chill creep up his waist.
Zhang Daoling sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Yuan Tian, what's in your magic pouch?"
Mo Xuan was startled and was about to reach out to check when he saw the previously repaired seal crack open again.
A low, panting sound echoed from within the barrier, like the growl of a wild beast before it awakens.
With this panting sound, the chilling aura within the magic pouch intensified, and as the chilling energy increased
, the seal cracked even more.
Zhang Daoling continuously channeled his primordial spirit's power, using his life force to repair the seal.
"Yuan Tian, quickly throw your magic pouch away!"
Zhang Daoling shouted urgently. Although he didn't know what was inside, throwing it away was definitely the right thing to do.
Without waiting for his instructions, Mo Xuan reached out and tore off the magic pouch, throwing it out of the barrier with all his might.
Zhang Daoling immediately opened a gap in the barrier, preparing to let the magic pouch out smoothly.
The magic pouch traced an arc in mid-air, about to fall outside the barrier, when at the critical moment, it suddenly
exploded, seemingly forced apart by some powerful force.
An extremely cold aura instantly filled the entire barrier, and a dark token floated in mid-
air, radiating an indescribable malevolent energy.
Mo Xuan was utterly astonished. When did he acquire this token? "It's Wu Yaoyun's token!"
Zhang Daoling exclaimed, "We've all fallen for that witch's scheme!"
Mo Xuan suddenly realized that Wu Yaoyun, disregarding her status, had secretly placed this token in his
magic pouch during her sneak attack. The reason he was able to "successfully"
escape here was entirely Wu Yaoyun's arrangement, all to get Zhang Tianshi to intervene
and secretly place the token inside the barrier without anyone noticing.
Looking back now, with Wu Yaoyun's abilities, how could he have escaped Longhu Mountain so easily, and even managed
to steal back the Heavenly Kings' magical treasures... As the saying goes, once is never enough; this vixen was certain that Zhang Tianshi would intervene again,
so she pulled this stunt. From beginning to end, he himself was nothing more than a pawn in Wu Yaoyun's scheme.
In his regret and remorse, he saw the token undergo another change. The chilling, malevolent aura suddenly contracted, condensing into a
faintly visible human figure. Although its true face was not visible, its attire could still be vaguely discerned.
The figure wore a jet-black imperial crown, a robe of ten thousand ghosts, and a skull bead around its neck.
As the illusory figure appeared, the Dragon-Tiger Seal could no longer be suppressed and shattered into pieces. Accompanied by increasingly heavy
breathing, a chilling and violent aura spread, causing the entire underground cave to tremble. Amidst the billowing dust,
the illusory figure vanished, and the original dragon and tiger stone sculptures turned to dust, leaving only a figure crouching on the ground
.
Mo Xuan looked up, and although he couldn't see the figure clearly, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.
The figure slowly stood up, gradually revealing its true form. It was nearly ten feet tall, wrapped in incantation-inscribed bandages, with sharp
teeth and blood-red eyes.
This was none other than the legendary Corpse Demon, Jiang Chen, one of the progenitors of zombies! Mo Xuan gasped, finding his legs
as if filled with lead, unable to move.
Jiang Chen sprang to the air, letting out a long roar that unleashed a powerful aura that swept across the entire
Longhu Mountain, causing the ground to tremble and rocks to fly everywhere.
This malevolent energy reached the depths of the underworld and soared to the heavens, shattering the Twenty-Eight Constellations Heaven-Sealing Array. Simultaneously ,
the malevolent energy enveloped the heavens and earth, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars. The gods in the heavens trembled in fear, the ghosts in the underworld fled
, and the living beings in the mortal realm scattered in terror.
The Corpse Demon's bloodlust surged, and its massive body shot out, its claws lunging towards Mo Xuan's
crown.
In that split second, Mo Xuan suppressed his fear, crossing his palms to create a "Jade Void Tai Chi Seal"
to defend himself.
But before Jiang Chen's claws, the Tai Chi Seal was as fragile as paper, shattering with a single blow.
His defenses crumbled, and Mo Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he was doomed.
Just as he was about to have his head ripped open and his brains splattered, he felt a sudden tightening of his collar and was forcefully pulled several feet
away, narrowly avoiding Jiang Chen's claws.
Mo Xuan inwardly cried out in relief, turning around to see a man with a jade-like face and a long beard reaching his chest standing behind him.
The Taoist priest with the Bone Immortal Wind.
"Yuan Tian, are you alright?"
"Master Zhang?"
Mo Xuan recognized the voice; it was Zhang Daoling. It turned out that when Zhang Daoling saw the seal was about to be destroyed, he immediately returned his primordial spirit
to his body, preparing to fight to the death, and just then he saved Mo Xuan from Jiang Chen's hands.
Jiang Chen's face was half-bandaged, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes. He stared intently at them, then slowly
spoke, uttering broken words: "Zhang, Dao, Ling!"
Zhang Dao Ling said in a deep voice: "You wretched creature, even if I risk my life today, I will not let you leave Longhu Mountain!"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Jiang Chen let out three hoarse laughs, slowly saying: "You, cannot, stop, me!"
Zhang Dao Ling drew talismans in the air, instantly creating one hundred and eight different talismans, each representing one hundred and
eight of the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends. Each talisman was independent yet interconnected, forming the "Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Talisman Technique," which was then
unleashed towards Jiang Chen.
In an instant, all kinds of power descended simultaneously: lightning flashed, wind and fire raged, divine generals wielded their halberds,
and the four spirits converged... Compared to Zhang Jiao's talisman skills, this was simply worlds apart.
Mo Xuan watched in amazement, secretly praising Zhang Daoling's skill, thinking, "The Celestial Master's magic is profound; he will surely subdue this fiend!"
He failed to notice the solemn expression on Zhang Daoling's face.
"Yuan Tian, that token might be key..."
Zhang Daoling transmitted his voice through his primordial spirit, "I'll hold off this fiend; go and retrieve the token!"
Mo Xuan dared not delay and immediately turned to search. He immediately saw the dark token lying quietly on the ground.
He reached out to grab it, but as soon as he grasped it, a chill ran through him, as if he had fallen into the deepest hell,
his flesh and bones being devoured and gnawed by evil spirits.
"This thing is so sinister; it actually possesses such evil power to affect the mind!"
Mo Xuan steadied his mind, gathering his Nine-Turn Elixir and Dragon-Tiger Qi, slightly repelling the demonic illusion, but his mind remained unsettled
, and his head spun.
"Little brat, not bad, you actually released Jiang Chen for me!"
Yin Ling's sweet voice sneered contemptuously; Mo Xuan already knew who it was.
"Wu Yaoyun, get out here!"
Mo Xuan roared.
"Little brat, I'm right here, can't you see me?"
A fragrant scent wafted over, and Wu Yaoyun appeared before him like a ghost. With a lightning-fast grab, Mo Xuan felt his palm empty
as the token was snatched away.
At the same time, a muffled groan came from not far away. Zhang Daoling coughed up blood and flew backward, several
bloody gashes appearing on his chest and shoulders. Jiang Chen lowered his head and licked the blood from his claws, his expression becoming increasingly ferocious, his bloodthirsty nature fully revealed
.
After breaking the seal, he desperately needed to devour blood to quench his millennia-long thirst.
At this moment, he was savoring the blood on his claws with intoxication. Once the blood was gone, that thirst surged up again.
"Blood!"
Jiang Chen roared and pounced on Zhang Daoling again.
Zhang Daoling steadied himself, his hands transforming, his fingers flicking, his left arm outstretched like a dragon, his right palm waving like a tiger. Then, 　　he
spread his hands to the sides, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body, condensing into the shapes of a dragon and a tiger – the authentic Dragon-Tiger Qi . 　　This Dragon-Tiger Qi formed a thick defense, blocking Jiang Chen's attack. 　　Jiang Chen, having missed his target, became even more frenzied and bloodthirsty, turning his spear towards Mo Xuan and Wu Yaoyun. 　　In his eyes, the fair-skinned, plump woman and the handsome young man were far sweeter and more delicious than the stinking Taoist priest! Wu 　　Yaoyun remained calm in the face of danger, muttering incantations in a strange tone, seemingly an ancient spell. As she 　　chanted, a strange, eerie wind swept around them. 　　Mo Xuan, unaware of her incantation, secretly used his "Time-Knowing" 　　ability, a method for discerning time and calculating past events. 　　Back in Kunlun Mountain, Liu Tong had used this supernatural ability to recognize the inscription on King Mu's stele. Mo Xuan tried to replicate it, 　　hoping to understand Wu Yaoyun's incantation, but to no avail. 　　"Knowing the Time" 　　could discern time and calculate the past, but if something existed before the creation of the Seventy-Two Transformations, then 　　"Knowing the Time" 　　would be ineffective. 　　Mo Xuan was extremely surprised: "This incantation is even older than the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?" 　　The root of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts was the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, which had 　　existed since the creation of the world by Pangu, after the stars were formed. Therefore, the age of this incantation was unimaginable. 　　This thought only lasted a moment, and Jiang Chen, who had already rushed three steps forward, stopped, 　　staring blankly at Wu Yaoyun, his entire body frozen. 　　Wu Yaoyun smiled calmly, "Jiang Chen, do you still recognize this token?" 　　Jiang Chen stared at it for a long time, then uttered a few indistinct words, "Your Majesty..." 　　Just then, a surge of Yin energy overflowed from the token. Jiang Chen's body trembled, and a similar aura surged from within him. 　　The two Yin energies resonated, and the Yin energy within the token condensed once more into the form of a king. 　　Jiang Chen lowered his knees and knelt abruptly on the ground, kowtowing to Wu Yaoyun, "Greetings, Your Majesty!" 　　Mo Xuan and Zhang Daoling were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes. 　　Several loud bangs echoed, chaos erupted, and the underground cave was forcibly breached. Vast immortal power descended from the sky, and 　　the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the Four Heavenly Kings led their various heavenly soldiers into the cave.
