Yinshan Record

Chapter 117 God of the Huai River
The so-called forbidden techniques are somewhere between formations, talismans, and supernatural powers. The foundation of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, which was created by the ancient Azure Emperor Lingwei, was the seven divine forbidden techniques he created.

Among them, the Azure Sky Palace corresponds to the Kui Thunder Azure Dragon Divine Restriction, the Spirit Garden corresponds to the Taiyi Wood Divine Restriction, the Eastern Pole Palace corresponds to the Xuan Yuan Nine True Divine Restriction, and the yet-to-be-seen Spirit Suppressing Tower corresponds to one of the Twelve Yuan Chen Divine Restrictions of the Yellow Heaven.

Where there is a prohibition, there is power.

The Azure Heaven Palace can absorb lightning and transform it into pure Yang energy, its foundation lying in the power of the Kui Thunder Azure Dragon Divine Restriction. The inexhaustible supply of Yi Wood spiritual energy within the Spirit Garden also stems from this.

After the old lion's efforts, the only remaining effective restrictions in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden are the Kui Thunder Azure Dragon Divine Restriction, the Taiyi Wood-Splitting Divine Restriction, the Xuan Yuan Nine True Divine Restriction, and the Yellow Heaven Twelve Yuan Chen Divine Restriction.

However, if one's cultivation level improves and one restores these divine restrictions one by one according to the arrangements of the ancient Azure Emperor, the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden will naturally be able to have the grand scale of "three halls, six pavilions, and twelve towers".

At least now I can use some of the power of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

"Congratulations, little sage, you have now put the treasure garden in your hands."

"Ancient artifacts, how extraordinary are they?"

Restoring the Qingdi Treasure Garden to its former glory will require considerable effort.

"Little Sage, and the Zhenling Tower is also quite worth seeing."

"No need."

Su Che already had control of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, so he naturally knew about the situation of the Spirit Suppressing Tower.

That place, in a way, has some connection to me.

The Zhenling Tower was originally derived from the Huangtian Twelve Yuan Chen Divine Restrictions. The two characters "Huangtian" in these restrictions alone made Su Che ponder for a long time.

The Zhenling Tower was a place to suppress all kinds of demons and monsters. Now it is empty. Going there now, apart from the lingering bloodlust, there is nothing else to see.

With a thought, Su Che flashed to the Azure Heaven Palace.

The master of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is essentially the master of this world. As long as Su Che is willing, he can travel freely to any place.

Looking at the Azure Heaven Palace, Su Che regretted that Yu Lizi had left too early. Otherwise, he could have asked his master to leave behind a thunder technique and a wood elemental divine power. With the blessing of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, he would have been able to practice them very quickly.

But better than nothing.

Su Che sat cross-legged beneath the Azure Heaven Palace and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Chang Le followed beside her and said softly.

"If the young sage wants to cultivate, it would be better to do so in the Eastern Palace, where the yang energy is abundant and can suppress all inner demons, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."

Su Che glanced at the faceless artifact spirit.

The "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" that he cultivates is one of the Taiyin methods. He cultivates it next to the Great Sun Qian Yuan True Fire in the East Pole Hall. Does he think his cultivation is not slow enough?

"You said before that this pure yang energy of thunder can replenish the innate spirit and strengthen the soul?"

"That's right, pure yang energy has endless benefits for the soul."

Young Master Su released a wisp of the remaining pure yang energy of thunder from the Azure Heaven Palace, and then slowly stirred the thirty-six Zhou Jue Yin Heaven Secret Talismans in his sea of ​​consciousness, generating a suction force that drew the pure yang energy of thunder into his sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as the pure Yang energy of thunder entered his sea of ​​consciousness, Su Che felt a calming power within his mind. His soul trembled, as if a long-dusted mirror had been cleansed of dust, bringing him indescribable comfort.

A sudden realization dawned on me: my own soul, since birth, has been constantly aging. Just like a life, the soul also undergoes gestation, growth, and aging.

Cultivating and strengthening one's soul only increases its power in terms of quantity, but does not change its decay over time.

If this decay cannot be stopped, even if the power of the soul is as great as the boundless sea, there will be a day when the soul collapses.

This pure yang energy of thunder, when applied to the soul, not only strengthens the soul in terms of quantity, but also cleanses away decay, allowing the soul to regain its radiance. It is truly a first-class secret to longevity.

The thirty-six Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manuals, nourished by this pure Yang energy of thunder, faintly glowed with firelight. Although the pure Yang energy of thunder accumulated by the Azure Heaven Palace over the years was not much left, it was almost limitless for a novice like Su Che.

He thirstily absorbed the pure yang energy of thunder from the Azure Heaven Palace. The Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual above his sea of ​​consciousness finally ignited a layer of Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire, which gathered together and condensed into a dark and mysterious flame.

A long-closed pass was suddenly opened amidst the flames.

Amidst the flames, a celestial general emerged, none other than the Great Sage Tianpeng of the North Pole, whose face was identical to that of Su Che.

With the help of the almost inexhaustible pure yang energy of thunder in the Azure Heaven Palace, Su Che finally broke through the shackles and rightfully ascended to the seventh rank of the Daoist sect.

"Congratulations, little saint, on your further progress in cultivation."

While Su Che was cultivating, Chang Le waited by his side. Seeing that he had finished his practice, she immediately came up to congratulate him.

"Approximately how long have I been cultivating?"

"The little sage cultivated for about three or four hours."

That was not far off from the doomed failure of the Zhongshan meeting.

"it is good."

With a thought, Su Che left the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden and reappeared in Shanyin County.

My own magical power is still insufficient to make the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden fly; otherwise, why would I bother with all this effort?

Having just changed into the night clothes he had stored in the Yinquan Nine Bends, Su Che placed one of the two pages of the golden book on his chest and the other on his back before picking up the wooden mask representing the Fengxi from the Zhongshan Gathering and slowly walking towards the Kulin Temple.

Tonight is the night that Zhongshan Society has agreed to have everyone go to retrieve the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

Since the organization has made this arrangement, I, the Eastern King, may not go, but I cannot miss this occasion at the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

The sky is high and the clouds are wide; I gaze until the wild geese fly south.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky.

A gentle breeze swept through the pine forest on the hillside, causing the layers of needles to surge like waves.

Young Master Su, dressed in a black night-clothes, walked through Songgang.

Not far ahead was the Kulin Zen Temple. After Su Che cultivated to the seventh rank, his hearing and eyesight improved, and from a distance, the Kulin Zen Temple no longer looked like it used to be.

The area was once lush and green, but now it looks like a scorched wasteland from afar.

It is likely because the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden was lost, and the nourishment of the Wood Spirit Qi was gone, leaving only the residual poison of the Old Lion's Hellfire, that the current scene exists.

Following the grassy flagstone path, Su Che finally arrived at the gate of Kulin Temple.

He then realized that someone was already waiting for him there.

A mask with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and a soul-forging iron rod.

Wuzhiqi stood like a mountain blocking the entrance to the Kulin Temple.

"You are late."

"Ok?"

The water monkey held the iron rod across its shoulder and spoke to Su Che.

“Zhongyuan said that members of the association are not allowed to fight each other. I’m a little curious, what would be the consequences if a few of my fellow members were killed?”
