After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1046 The dust has settled, time to cultivate the Earth Element Technique!
A violent surge of energy, unleashed indiscriminately.

Large swathes of trees fell down, the earth cracked and split, and some small hills were even flattened by the shockwave.

The mushroom cloud rose upwards, forcing the clouds to scatter in all directions, and with a rumble, the world was plunged into darkness.

The explosion created a brief vacuum, and the air was compressed by the intense energy, rapidly expelled and then flowed back, quickly forming a hurricane.

The wind howled, and everything was falling from the sky. From the epicenter of the explosion outwards, the scene was one of utter chaos.

……

Several miles away, on a hilltop across the Bailong River.

An old man, a young boy, and a monkey witnessed this scene.

The sky had already darkened. At the start of the explosion, a bright flash of light illuminated the heavens and the earth, followed by a beautiful mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

After a long while, the shockwave arrived, but its power was negligible; it was just a gust of wind that made Chen Yang's clothes flutter.

Juechen stood beside Chen Yang, watching silently, but his primordial spirit was constantly searching for the situation at the center of the explosion.

However, after a long while, nothing was gained.

The mushroom cloud has dissipated, but the rumbling sound still echoes in my ears.

Once the rampaging energy subsided slightly, the two immediately rushed back towards the center of the explosion.

In the mountains and forests, a pit with a diameter of tens of meters and a depth of more than ten meters appeared on the ground.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, not a blade of grass grows; the ground looks as if it has just been turned over.

Further away, although there were trees, most of them were also impacted by the explosion and lay flat on the ground. Not a single one could stand up, stretching for two or three miles.

It was practically an apocalyptic scene.

The power of this explosion was completely beyond imagination.

Chen Yang himself was speechless.

The one that was just used was one of the two Divine Fiend Inner Cores.

The inner core of the White Fox that guards against evil spirits.

The inner core of the Divine Fiend in the late stage of the Dao True Realm contains the blood and flesh divine fiend energy of the entire body of the White Fox Divine Fiend, which is much more powerful than the Divine Fiend Pearl given by the Bashe.

Chen Yang knew that this thing would be very powerful when it exploded, but he never expected it to be this powerful.

It is more than twice as effective as the Divine Scripture Rosary.

I just don't know if they managed to kill that bastard Cang Gou.
The radar deploys, covering an area of ​​two miles in radius, and with a single glance, it explores even more distant regions.

Juechen was also searching.

However, neither of them found anything and did not locate Cang Gou.

"Master, what do you mean?" Chen Yang turned to look at Juechen.

"Amitabha!"

Juechen leaned on his monk's staff, his face showing signs of fatigue. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

In that situation just now, when the three wandering masters were locked in a stalemate with him, Juechen already understood that it was almost impossible to defeat Canggou today.

Who would have thought that Chen Yang would pull such a stunt, directly sending him a telepathic message to retreat.

After weighing his options, he decided to temporarily evade the situation, but little did he know that Chen Yang had prepared a backup plan.

Using Xiao Ling as bait, they planned an explosion.

To be honest, this kind of behavior is indeed somewhat despicable and not the kind of thing a virtuous person would do.

However, one cannot eat a righteous person's food. Chen Yang was forced to do this. If they did not do this, their strength might not be enough to defeat Cang Gou.

Once the effects of the drug on the water monkey wear off, all that will remain is the disparity in strength between them. Cang Gou clearly hates Chen Yang intensely and is determined to make Chen Yang pay with his life. Chen Yang doesn't want such an enemy and must find a way to kill him.

Chen Yang saw Cang Gou present before the explosion.

If he were at the epicenter of the explosion, in such a massive blast, unless he was at the Celestial Realm, he would likely have had a very difficult time surviving.

But now that neither the person nor the body has been found, it would be premature to say that Cang Gou was blown up.

"call!"

Juechen let out a long sigh of relief. "Even if we don't kill him, we'll at least give him a good beating. Let's go back to Xi'e Mountain to rest and recuperate. If he's still alive, he'll definitely show up at Zhong'e Mountain in two days..."

Although the explosion was terrifyingly powerful, almost equivalent to a powerful beast-suppressing being self-destructing at close range, Juechen still felt that Canggou shouldn't die so easily.

Perhaps he managed to dodge in time, or perhaps he possesses some powerful protective treasure; these could all help him escape.

Most importantly, the Black Lotus's Dharma Body still resides within the Cang Gou.

The Black Lotus's Dharma Body is a being at the Celestial Realm.

The Dharma body of a Celestial Being is not so easily destroyed.

This explosion might reduce the Greyhound to nothingness, but it's unlikely to destroy the Black Lotus's true form.

Therefore, both Juechen and Chen Yang have reason to believe that Canggou is not dead.

Since we haven't seen the body, we can only assume he's still alive.

But even if one survives, experiencing such a horrific explosion would likely be unpleasant.

Two more days—is that enough time for him to heal? Enough time for him to fuse with the Black Lotus?

At this point, there was no need to worry about the fate of the Cang Gou. They only needed to wait and see, and the outcome would be clear in two days at Zhong'e Mountain.

……

On the riverbank, the hundreds of Creation Realm cultivators, after their formation was disrupted by Chen Yang's attack, were powerless to fight back.

Under the relentless onslaught of the insect swarm, it had been completely devoured.

The insect swarm suffered significant losses, with only about 20,000 remaining.

Some died in battle, and some were killed in bombings.

However, after devouring these wandering masters, the massive amount of Yin energy should allow this group of insects to advance to the next level.

After collecting the insects, Chen Yang and Juechen took advantage of the night and quickly headed towards Xi'e Mountain.

……

-

Xi'e Mountain.

The night was as still as flowing water, the mountain breeze gently blowing, the shadows of the trees swaying, a scene of tranquility and serenity.

Inside the cave, Juechen had already entered a meditative state.

The series of battles had taken a toll on him. Although Juechen was strong, he was old and his body's stamina was far from what it used to be.

The water monkey was hit on the back by the Azure Dog's banner, and after the effects of the Dao Zhen Dan wore off, it entered a state of temporary weakness.

He lay on the ground, weak and listless.

Chen Yang checked its injuries.

A bloody mark on his back, the mark somewhat darkened, was a shocking sight.

With a telescope, you can see that there is some black substance around the wound, which is preventing the wound from healing.

The water monkey was groaning; it must have been in a lot of pain.

Negative karma energy?

Chen Yang tried using the Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique to force out the black substances that had invaded the water monkey's body.

Although they can be gathered together with difficulty, it is quite challenging to force them out.

Chen Yang was still very curious about this kind of energy.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and covered the wound on the water monkey's back.

Danyang's inner cultivation technique reversed, directly absorbing the black substance into his body.

The black substance almost instantly disappeared into Chen Yang's palm. With the sudden change of environment, this black substance seemed to become more active in Chen Yang's body, spreading directly along the meridians in his hand to all parts of his body.

Since the Yin-Yang Needle Technique can gather this energy, he was not in a hurry and was eager to study this energy.

The black substance quickly spread throughout Chen Yang's meridians and invaded his internal organs. Chen Yang soon felt a strange, faint sense of malevolence growing within his body.

Chest tightness, irritability, sadness, depression...

A lot of inexplicable negative emotions are creeping up on me.

interesting!
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that these black substances were showing a tendency to invade the Sanjiao Gate, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing the research.

As he circulated the "Scripture of Universal Benevolence of the Original Mind," a golden light of universal benevolence naturally arose within his body, and his true essence circulated throughout his body. The black matter that had been rampaging and wandering within him was quickly swept away.

Chen Yang's eyes brightened slightly.

It has been proven that the "Original Mind Universal Benevolence Sutra" created by Juechen does indeed have a restraining effect on the evil karmic energy of the Black Lotus, and the effect is quite good.

Of course, it's also possible that Chen Yang had relatively little black substance in his body just now. If a large amount of this black substance were to invade his body, we'd have to actually try it to know how this technique would perform.

Now, at least we can be certain that the "Original Mind Universal Goodness Sutra" can indeed restrain the evil karma of the Black Lotus, which is enough to at least prevent us from being helpless.

……

After the black substance was extracted from its body, the water monkey's pain was significantly reduced, and it stopped groaning. The wound quickly scabbed over.

Chen Yang gave it another bottle of "Super Animal Growth Essence" as a reward. He then put it into the Azure Pearl to recuperate.

"call!"

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking back on today's experience, it was truly a heart-stopping experience.

In the battle against Cang Gou, he didn't exert much effort; he mostly used tricks and shortcuts.

It's all about explosions.

I didn't expend much physical energy; after meditating for a while, I was full of energy again.

Inside the cave, under the light.

Chen Yang took stock of the gains and losses.

Of all the prayer beads I had painstakingly prepared, only one inner core of the Divine Fiend White Tiger remained. All the other Divine Fiend prayer beads and inner core prayer beads had been used up.

In addition, the only Dao Zhen Pill has already been used.

In other words, he has no trump cards left.

Even a single inner core of the White Tiger God, once made into prayer beads, can still be considered a trump card.

Next, without the Dao Zhen Pill, the water monkey will be temporarily useless.

Losing a major ally is like losing an arm; Chen Yang has lost a significant amount of his arrogance.

Next, if Cang Gou is not dead, what means will I have to fight him again?
For a moment, Chen Yang's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

If it weren't for Mo Yuan passing on this extraordinary technique, he, with his early-stage Dao Realm cultivation, would have had no chance against beings of Cang Gou's level.

In a one-on-one fight, without any special abilities, someone of Cang Gou's caliber could easily kill Chen Yang.

Given Chen Yang's personality, if he has an advantage, he will naturally make the most of it.

He's now quite adept at making prayer beads.

Unfortunately, I don't have many materials left.

He had squandered all the inner cores and divine evil beads of the Dao True Realm during this period.

He now possesses only the inner core of the White Tiger Divine Demon, which he has already crafted into prayer beads.

But with only one, Chen Yang had no idea what to expect.

He still had a Dragon Essence in his hand, but Chen Yang dared not try it.

The energy quality of the Dragon Essence is higher, equivalent to the inner core of a Celestial Realm expert, and its quality may even be stronger. If this thing were to explode accidentally during its production, Chen Yang dared not even imagine what the scene would be like.

Moreover, Dragon Essence is rare, and its energy is not comparable to that of Divine Fiends. He cannot use the energy of Divine Fiends, but the energy of Dragon Essence is of great use to him, so he naturally cannot waste it.

"There are still two days left, so I can go find Bashe or Beizheng and ask for some Divine Fiend Pearls..."

Chen Yang thought to himself that this was the thought.

This place is located on the northern foot of Xi'e Mountain, not far from Bei'e Mountain. Tomorrow, we can go to Bei'e Mountain to look for Bei Zheng.

I've put in so much effort just to kill Cang Gou, surely Bei Zheng, as the guardian beast of Bei E Mountain, wouldn't be so stingy as to not contribute anything?

As guardian beasts, the Northern Ferocious Beasts must have killed quite a few Dao True Realm beings, and might even possess Dao True Realm inner cores. If possible, try to borrow as many as possible.

It's all for the stability of the secret realm, so they should do their part.

Without any weapons in his pocket, Chen Yang never felt very confident.

"In the end, it all comes down to their own lack of ability."

Chen Yang shook his head.

I used to look forward to breaking through to the Dao True Realm as soon as possible, but now that I have actually reached the Dao True Realm, I feel that it is not enough and I am still far from it. My desire to become stronger has become more and more urgent.

Work hard on your practice!
Chen Yang composed himself. He had been in the Dao True Realm for several days, and had fought several battles during that time. His realm had become relatively stable, and it was time to consider the Dao True Realm cultivation method.

Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the futon.

He mentally reviewed all the techniques he currently possessed.

The Xuanwu Heart Sutra is definitely something that needs to be practiced.

This technique combines the attributes of water and earth, making it an extremely superior internal cultivation method. It can not only condense Xuanwu True Essence with a quality comparable to immortal spiritual energy, but also has a miraculous effect on tempering the physical body.

The "315 Tooth Classic" is definitely a must.

According to Juechen, the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill" is the missing outline of the "Three One Five Tooth Scripture" that he has been searching for.

Whether this statement is true or not, he needs to verify it himself. But if it is true, it means that he has now mastered the complete "Three-One-Five Tooth Classic" manual and no longer needs to have any other concerns.

This technique is almost exclusively for cultivating the primordial spirit. When paired with the "Xuanwu Heart Sutra," they complement each other perfectly.

In addition, the seventh chapter of the Marrow Washing Classic, the "No Leakage Chapter," can also be practiced.

The "No Leakage Chapter" is a method for cultivating the celestial body.

This text is so exquisite that it is the most profound of the Xi Sui Jing (Marrow Cleansing Classic).

Its consumption is so great that it is terrifying.

According to the cultivation method, the difficulty of cultivating this chapter is beyond imagination for those who are not at the Celestial Realm level.

In the cultivation of the Marrow Cleansing Classic, if you don't progress, you regress. Without a huge amount of energy to support you, if you make one percent progress today, it will all be wiped out tomorrow. In the end, you will have consumed a lot of resources and ended up with nothing.

Although Chen Yang had not yet started cultivating, he was mentally prepared.

Leaving aside whether there is any chance to break through to the Celestial Realm in this lifetime, even if there is, what is the point of cultivating the Celestial Body after reaching the Celestial Realm? Of course, one should cultivate the Celestial Body before entering the Celestial Realm, so that it can be of great use.

On that day, Grandpa Xu Qingchuan left him a wisp of immortal energy, which could be used as a catalyst for cultivating the seventh chapter of the "Marrow Cleansing Classic".

As for the resources needed for subsequent cultivation, Chen Yang thought that he still had a Dragon Essence, and if the Dragon Essence energy was not enough, there was also the Jade Cabbage from the Shennong Sect.

There should also be some divine energy in Shennong cabbage, but he is not sure how much.

If the energy in the cabbage is not enough, then we can think of another way. The Xuanwu True Essence cultivated from the Xuanwu Heart Sutra is comparable in quality to the Qi of Immortals and can also be used to temper the body of a celestial being.

……

All three techniques are indispensable and must be practiced.

Chen Yang felt he was about to get busy. Although he could multitask, he also felt somewhat overwhelmed.

After a slight hesitation, I wondered which technique to start with.

I'll be leaving in two days. In two days, I can at most get the basics of the technique. It doesn't seem to have much of an effect on improving my cultivation and combat power.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Chen Yang's mind.

He thought of Tian Bonong's "Shennong's Secret".

To be precise, it is the "Earth Escape Technique" within it.

……

It's just a technique; with his comprehension, it shouldn't take him long to learn it.

For Chen Yang, if he could learn the Earth Escape Technique, it would definitely greatly enhance his combat power.

With his current cultivation level, he certainly couldn't fight head-on against someone far stronger than himself; he could only resort to underhanded tactics and schemes.

This earth-遁 (earth escape technique) could be of great help to him, and it would be even more effective in using it to ambush people.

At the very least, it's an excellent way to escape.

On the day of the battle against Tian Bonong, if Chen Yang hadn't been able to use radar to lock onto his location and have the spirit plant Water Moss Algae take action in time, he would definitely have escaped.

As we all know, things underground are the hardest to catch.

……

Chen Yang immediately took out the jade slip that Tian Bonong had engraved.

He placed the jade slip on his forehead, and his primordial spirit entered it, quickly imprinting information into his mind.

Earth Path Technique

This is a technique derived from the "Shennong Manual".

It appears in the appendix of the fourth chapter of "Shennong's Secrets".

The Shennong Technique is a traditional cultivation method passed down by the Shennong Sect. It is an extremely superior earth-attribute cultivation method. The technique consists of five parts. The fourth part is the method for cultivating to the Dao True Realm. Once the fifth part is mastered, one can break through to the Celestial Realm.

Chen Yang had seen this technique before, but he wasn't very interested in it.

After all, he possesses the "Xuanwu Heart Sutra," which combines the attributes of earth and water, making it fully compatible with the Shennong Technique. Its potential should be even greater than that of the Shennong Technique.

After breaking through to the Celestial Realm, Shennong Jue had no further cultivation methods. His "Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture" and later the "Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique"—even a blind person could tell which was superior.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Shennong Technique is bad. At least among cultivation techniques below the Celestial Realm, the Shennong Technique is still competitive.

Chen Yang ruled out this option because he was considering the future.

After a quick glance, Chen Yang's attention fell on the "Earth Movement Technique".

In Chen Yang's view, this technique was indeed not difficult.

Through a special cultivation method, one can envelop the entire body in earth-attribute true energy, becoming as compatible with the earth as possible. By using the true energy to break through the earth, one can move freely and effortlessly, like a fish in water.

Earth-attribute true essence?
Chen Yang scratched his head. It seemed that he still needed to learn the basics of the Xuanwu Heart Sutra first.
