Chen Yun's fingertips gently stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and the touch of the cold jade made him clearer. In the distance, the mountain mist with the smell of humus came towards him, and he suddenly noticed the blue light spots as thin as hair floating in the mist - it was the Yinming phosphorus fire! These ghost fires that should have appeared in the Nine Netherworlds were now flickering in Kunwu Mountain.
"My two Taoist friends, please look." He put his fingers together like a sword, and a ray of green light bound the phosphorus fire between the three of them. "The Yinming phosphorus fire has appeared in the world. I'm afraid there is a crack leading to the underworld hidden here."
Bai Yaoyi raised her wide sleeves lightly, and nine ice needles floated in a ring, setting up a mysterious ice formation around the phosphorus fire. The dark blue flames suddenly surged, dyeing the ice needles into a strange dark purple. "Not good!" Her jade-like face suddenly changed, and she formed a seal with her white hands, and the ice needles exploded into frost flowers all over the sky. The phosphorus fire split into thousands of clusters in the refraction of the ice crystals, but was completely swallowed up by the red dragon silk thrown by the old man surnamed Fu.
"This fire can pollute the spirituality of magic weapons, Fairy Bai, quickly collect the magic weapons!" The old man surnamed Fu's hair and beard were all standing up, and the Samadhi True Fire suddenly spurted out from the alchemy furnace. The red flames licked the Jiaoling, burning away the attached Yin Qi. As the furnace lid opened and closed, a pill the size of a longan was taking shape, and a baby's face appeared on the surface, which was a sign that the infant-cultivating pill was about to be completed.
Suddenly, the ground veins shook, and a terrifying beast roared thirty miles away. The compass on Chen Yun's waist turned frantically, and the needle pointed directly to the direction of the stone pavilion on the mountainside. "It was the group of people from the Ye family who triggered the ban!" He frowned, and seventy-two formation flags flew out of his sleeves, forming a two-element micro-dust formation around the three people. As soon as the formation pattern was formed, countless white bone claws suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed the suspended alchemy furnace.
"The Yin corpse is passing through!" Bai Yaoyi shouted delicately, and the icy divine light turned into the Milky Way. After the bone claws were stained with the divine light, they actually gave birth to ice crystals and flesh, which disintegrated into powder in an instant. The old man surnamed Fu took the opportunity to bite his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the alchemy furnace, and the ancient Zhurong totem appeared on the furnace.
At the same time, a fierce battle was taking place at the stone pavilion on the mountainside.
The eldest elder of the Ye family's white robe fluttered, and the Spring and Autumn Brush drew the ancient seal character "Zhen" in the air. The moment the golden character was pressed down, the four wings of the lion-eagle beast raised a purple gust of wind, crushing the golden character to pieces. The silver shuttle that Uncle Qi sacrificed suddenly broke into thousands, but when it touched the feathers of the monster, it made a sound of metal hitting metal - the seemingly soft purple feathers were actually three times harder than black iron!
"Form the Four Symbols Formation!" the scholar shouted. The four Nascent Soul cultivators who were regulating their breathing below responded and the phantoms of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared in all directions. The Lion-Eagle Beast's red eyes glowed fiercely, and it opened its mouth and spit out a purple lightning ball. The lightning ball collided with the phantoms of the Four Symbols, and the shock wave that burst out shattered the stone pavilion into dust.
Uncle Qi took the opportunity to use his life-saving magic weapon, the "Heavenly Secret Mirror", and the mirror reflected the true form of the monster. There was an ancient bronze nail embedded in the spine of the lion-eagle beast, and the nail head was engraved with the unique demon-suppressing inscription of Kunwu Mountain. "Here is the flaw!" He whispered in secret, and the white light emitted by the Heavenly Secret Mirror accurately hit the ancient nail.
"Roar--" The monster screamed in pain, and the purple mist around it dissipated. Everyone could see clearly that there was a human face on its abdomen. It was the elder of Xuanyu Sect who disappeared a hundred years ago! The human face suddenly opened its eyes and spit out the Nine Nether Yin Thunder. The closest Suzaku monk was unable to dodge, and the protective aura was instantly annihilated.
"It's corpse refining technique!" The Confucian scholar's pupils shrank suddenly, and the Spring and Autumn pen quickly wrote the two words "break evil" in the air. The golden words turned into chains and wrapped around the man's face, but were blown to pieces by the Yin thunder. At the critical moment, a seven-color rainbow light suddenly descended from the top of the mountain, covering the mad monster - it turned out that Chen Yun and the other two sensed the abnormal movement and used the infant cultivation pill to mobilize the righteousness of heaven and earth!
The lion-eagle beast struggled violently in the rainbow light, and the ancient bronze nails fell. The body of the monster beast that lost its restraints began to disintegrate, but the human face turned into black smoke and disappeared into the earth veins. Bai Yaoyi's icy soul divine light followed closely behind, freezing a winding ice mark of a hundred feet on the ground.
"Chase!" Uncle Qi was about to perform the escape technique, but was stopped by the scholar: "Wait! Where does this ice mark go?" He looked along the ice crystals, and the outline of the Wanxiu Gate suddenly appeared at the end of the cold fog. The ancient bronze mirror hanging on the gate tower was reflecting the giant coffin wrapped with nine black iron chains in the abyss thousands of feet underground!
As everyone gasped, Chen Yun's voice rang out in the autobiographical notes: "Fellow Daoists, this Kunwu Mountain is probably home to a certain ancient giant. Just now, when we were refining the elixir, the Yin Qi of the earth veins backfired, and we found half a volume of "Taiyin Refining Form" in the elixir furnace, which records "
Before he finished speaking, the coffin suddenly shook, and the sound of the chain breaking was like thunder. Cracks appeared on the ancient mirror on the Wanxiu Gate, and a dark shadow darker than the night was seeping out of the mirror!
From the depths of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, which was shrouded in dark clouds, there suddenly came a cry that could pierce gold and split rocks. The dark green poisonous fog surged violently, and a giant beast with a lion's head and a bird's body broke through the fog. Its four purple-gold feathered wings stirred up the fishy wind. It was the ancient fierce lion beast!
"Lion beast!" The strange man's eyes twitched, and the ancient bronze mirror in his hand was actually buzzing due to the evil spirit. The scholar's face was solemn, and the black and red knife in his sleeve flashed, and the black blood knife that had been passed down for thousands of years had turned into a stunning sun. Wherever the knife passed, the space was actually cut into fine black lines, as if even the skylight was about to be swallowed by this evil weapon.
The lion beast's pupils suddenly shrank, and the dark golden scales on its neck stood up. It suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and the purple light in its throat surged. Thirty-six purple halos wrapped around it like chains. Strange runes floated on the surface of these halos, as if they were imprisoning and solidifying the void. Every time the black blood knife broke a ring, a scarlet blood mark appeared on the blade, as if it was absorbing the essence of the knife holder.
"Don't do that, you little brat!" When the weirdo screamed, the scholar had already bitten his tongue. The blood condensed into the ancient Chinese character "imperial" in the air, and instantly sank into the black blood knife. The blood pattern on the blade suddenly lit up, and the sound of thousands of resentful souls crying could be heard, and all the grass and trees within a radius of ten feet withered. The lion-beast flapped its wings wildly, and retreated thirty feet away in the flash of lightning, but the knife still cut off half of its sharp claws, and bursts of poisonous smoke rose from where the green beast blood was spilled.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The lion's head suddenly glowed with gilded light, and circles of golden ripples spread out from its fangs. As soon as the black blood knife touched the ripples, it flew back as if hit by a heavy hammer. The scholar groaned, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but the spells in his hands became more and more rapid. The black blood knife danced in the air, and nine bloody skulls appeared on the handle of the knife, resisting the golden sound waves.
"Thunder Escape!" The strange man suddenly shouted. Before he finished speaking, the lion beast's four wings had exploded with lightning, and its body turned into a residual shadow in the thunder. When the thunder dissipated, only a purple stream of light remained in the sky, which disappeared in a flash.
The scholar stumbled to the ground, the front of his blue shirt soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the dark blood lines on his palm and whispered, "This evil beast can actually use the Sanskrit sound to break the demon roar. If it weren't for the Nine Nether Mysterious Evil sealed in the Black Blood Sword,
"Look!" The strange man suddenly pointed to the valley below. The prohibition originally shrouded in green mist flickered, and it was vaguely seen that the Ye family cultivators were reinforcing a certain formation eye. As the formation pattern flowed, it actually echoed the strange phenomenon in Puyun Mansion seven days ago. In the poisonous miasma swamp thousands of miles away, five white shadows floated like ghosts. The leader was shrouded in chaotic mist, and his voice was like a man and a woman: "Kunwu appeared in the world, and the old ghost of Jiuyou Sect was very calm." As he spoke, seven bone talismans flew out of his sleeves and formed the shape of the Big Dipper in the air. The bone talismans pointed to the direction of Puyun Mansion.
At the same time, the twenty-three elite members of the Poison Saint Sect were approaching the shore of the Nameless Lake. The green lines on Hua Wu Gou's face glowed with a faint light. He looked at the pillar of light rising from the center of the lake and laughed hoarsely, "It's been three thousand years! Has the spirit of the founder seen it?" The three elders behind him were shocked when they heard this - the positions of the seven pillars of light were exactly the same as the Seven Star Mountain Guarding Diagram recorded in the sect's secret book!
Hundreds of cultivators had already gathered on the lakeshore. Some flew into the air with swords, trying to spy on the secrets of the light column; some used earth escape talismans to sneak into the earth veins; and some scattered cultivators fought for the observation position. Suddenly, the sound of a phoenix bird came from the eastern sky, and nine jade chariots broke through the clouds. It turned out to be the cultivators from the three major families in southern Xinjiang who came together.
"Look! Is that the Ye family's Qingming Boat?" The sharp-eyed man suddenly pointed to the north. He saw a hundred-foot-long green boat moving through the clouds, with seven Yuanying cultivators standing at the bow. The old man in the middle was holding a compass, and it turned out to be the eldest elder of the Ye family!
The lake surface suddenly shook violently, and the seven beams of light twisted and deformed at the same time. A thunderous roar came from the ground, and all the birds and beasts within a hundred miles crawled on the ground and wailed. An old monk who was proficient in the art of earth veins suddenly turned pale: "This is not a breaking of the ban, but someone is shaking the seal from the inside!"
As if to confirm his words, a huge earthen mound suddenly rose in the center of the lake. Countless ancient runes flickered on the surface of the mound, but it still could not stop the trend of breaking apart. When the first broken stele with the word "Kun" engraved on it broke out of the ground, the spiritual energy of the entire southern border trembled.
The people of the Poison Saint Sect were the first to react. Seventy-two poison banners flew out from Hua Wu Gou's sleeves, instantly forming a nine-bend Yellow Spring Formation. The three elders, each holding their own life-saving magic weapon, were actually planning to force their way into the seal that had not yet been fully opened!
"boom--"
Amid the earth-shattering explosion, seven beams of light converged at one point. The void shattered like a mirror, revealing half of a white jade staircase, which was stained with blood, as if countless monks had shed blood here. At the end of the staircase, a huge bronze door could be vaguely seen, and the dragon eyes of the dragon relief on the door suddenly glowed red.
At this moment, no one knew that in the deepest part of the Yin-Yang Cave, the Silver-winged Yaksha was chewing on the remains of a half-naive cultivator. The demon-suppressing array pattern under its feet was broken, and three of the nine black iron chains had broken. When the loosening of the seal of Kunwu Mountain came, this ancient demon suddenly howled to the sky, and the silver wings behind it actually gave birth to golden patterns!
In a deserted temple three thousand miles away, a ragged old man named Fu suddenly opened his eyes. The bronze lamp in his hand ignited with a green flame, illuminating the mottled ancient painting on the wall - the fairy mountain in the painting was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the two characters "Kunwu" on the stone tablet in front of the mountain gate were glowing with blood.
Dusk enveloped this desolate mountain range, and dark clouds rolled in the low sky. Chen Yun pressed his palm on the damp rock wall, and light blue spiritual waves seeped out from between his fingers. This was the seventh day since they entered the underground seal. The outside world had been isolated from this dark cave into two worlds.
"It's about to begin." Bai Yaoyi suddenly whispered, and the cold jade beads on her earrings glowed faintly. Three feet in front of her, the cushion where the old man surnamed Fu sat cross-legged was soaked with sweat, and the dark golden runes on his robe flickered with his breathing. The nine-aperture gilded tripod in the center was undergoing a strange change. The originally stable green infant fire suddenly swayed like a candle in the wind, and the dragon eyes of the twelve dragon reliefs on the tripod body lit up scarlet light one after another.
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes. He could clearly see the old man's hands trembling slightly as he formed seals, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force. This was not an ordinary Dan Huo out of control, but a sign of something more dangerous. When the eighth pair of dragon eyes lit up, the whole cave suddenly echoed with the sound of metal clashing, and countless tiny cracks spread across the belly of the cauldron, like a spider web growing under the moonlight.
"Kan and Li are in conflict, this is going to blow up the cauldron!" Bai Yaoyi's voice transmission was filled with rare panic. Chen Yun's sword in his sleeve was ready to go, but the old man suddenly bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The blood mist actually condensed into a yin-yang double fish pattern in mid-air and slowly sank into the Tai Chi groove of the cauldron cover.
Instantly, colorful rays of light burst out from the cracks on the cauldron. The originally agitated infant fire suddenly became as gentle as cotton, transforming into thirty-six jade chains that wrapped around the cauldron. Chen Yun noticed that the old man's white hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that this secret technique consumed the essence of life.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two." The old man's voice was hoarse like sandpaper. "This Xuanhuang Ding was obtained from an ancient cultivator's cave eight hundred years ago. Whenever the moon is waning, it will backfire on the Dan Fire." As he spoke, the tenth pair of dragon eyes had already lit up, and the buzzing sound coming from the cauldron gradually became like a dragon's roar.
Bai Yaoyi suddenly sniffed: "It's the smell of Nine-turn Qingming Grass." Chen Yun followed her gaze and saw that the smoke coming out of the gap in the lid was no longer ordinary white mist, but indigo smoke with starlight. The smoke condensed into a translucent Ganoderma lucidum in the air, and then suddenly broke into thousands of fireflies.
"It's done!" The old man shouted, and the last two pairs of dragon eyes burst into blood at the same time. The lid of the tripod was lifted three feet high by an invisible force, and five pills like meteors broke through the air. Chen Yun's pupils shrank suddenly - those were not the expected emerald green pills, but five strange light balls that kept changing colors, sometimes purple like sunset clouds, and sometimes blue like the deep sea.
The old man's scarlet gourd flew out of his sleeve, but the rays of light from the gourd only caused ripples on the surface of the light ball. Seeing that the outermost pill was about to hit the rock wall, Chen Yun drew a line with his sword, and seven sword energies formed a net. The light ball rushed left and right in the sword net, and it even made a scream like a crying baby.
"Hurry up and block your hearing!" Bai Yaoyi's cold jade beads suddenly exploded and turned into an ice crystal barrier. Almost at the same time, the five pills whistled in unison, and the sound waves scraped a deep gully on the rock wall. Chen Yun felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, and cracks appeared in the protective qi.
The old man finally completed the last spell, and the Big Dipper pattern appeared on the surface of the vermilion gourd. The light ball fell into the gourd like a tired bird returning to the forest, and the cave was suddenly filled with the fragrance of medicine. Chen Yun was surprised to find that in the cracks of the stone that were previously cracked by the sound waves, several purple ginsengs broke out of the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I'm sorry to have frightened you two." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, his rosy face now as pale as paper, "This Peiying Pill has been tempered by the Yin Qi of the earth veins, and it has actually developed some spiritual wisdom. I miscalculated." (End of this chapter)
