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

Chapter 912 Xuanwu escapes and is given a cultivation technique!
The Medicine Buddha statue remains open to all, embracing all kinds of energy, accepting as many as they come, regardless of their inherent power.

Sure enough, this time it was much easier.

"Ouch..."

A few minutes later, under the cover of night, on Xuanwu Lake, whether it was the sound of the wind or the roar of a beast, after a faint roar, everything calmed down again.

"call!"

Chen Yang channeled all the remaining unrefined water and earth energies in his body into the Medicine Buddha statue, let out a long sigh, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Next, Chen Yang used the same method to pull out the two iron stakes on the left and right.

The shaking of the ground stopped, and as the fourth iron stake was pulled out, a light rain actually began to fall from the sky due to the influence of the massive water vein energy accumulated at the bottom of the lake.

The light rain was falling gently, but it didn't last long, giving a feeling of nourishing things silently.

Just as Chen Yang finished expelling the energy from his body, the rain stopped.

He examined his body. Although he had only refined a small portion of the energy, after pulling out four iron stakes and undergoing four baptisms and purgings of water and soil energy, his physique had increased by about the second grade.

It's not a lot, but it's not a little either. After all, for an ordinary person, it would probably take a long time of arduous training to improve their physique to the second grade.

Little did they know that Yang Wenhui's great-grandson, Yang Bo, was over twenty years old and only at the third rank.

The Yang family are professional body cultivators; for ordinary people, there are countless examples of those who would never even reach the second rank in their entire lives.

Chen Yang adjusted his posture and went to the very center, where the stone tablet originally stood.

Below the stone tablet is the location of the last iron stake.

This iron stake is thicker and longer than the other four iron stakes.

It was as thick as an adult's calf and nearly fifteen meters long.

The entire structure consisted of a single utility pole, which struck the basalt squarely in the middle of its neck, effectively locking it in its lifeline.

Once this iron stake is removed, the water vein energy in Xuanwu Lake can be completely integrated with the earth vein energy of Longtai Mountain, and the feng shui pattern of Xuanwu drinking water in this place can be restored.

This is the last and largest gate.

Once it's turned on, there will definitely be strange noises, and the noise will certainly be louder than before.

But Chen Yang wasn't sure exactly how big it would be.

Even Shi Ling and Wu Lei Zhenren were unsure.

It has a somewhat adventurous element to it.

When those iron stakes were being removed, there were already faint sounds of beastly roars, and it even rained. The spiritual pressure brought by this last iron stake will only be greater.

I don't know if the Medicine Buddha statue can still hold any more, or how many more.

With the help of the Stone Spirit and the Eight-Winged Centipede, they could try again, but the Black Tortoise Stone had already become a malevolent entity. Regardless of whether it was good or evil, once the iron stake was removed and it saw the light of day again, it might trigger celestial phenomena and bring divine punishment. That would be quite interesting.

It's impossible for me to shield it from divine punishment again, is it?

Chen Yang said, "Senior Stone Spirit, please communicate with this Black Tortoise Stone again and tell it that if it triggers a celestial phenomenon and attracts divine punishment, it will have to rely on itself. I can't help it..."

"Ok!"

Shi Ling responded and immediately began communicating with the Xuanwu Stone.

"It has agreed, let's do it!"

A moment later, the Stone Spirit relayed the Black Tortoise Stone's attitude.

Chen Yang didn't say anything more. He grabbed one end of the iron stake and started to pull upwards.

"Rumble..."

This time, it was truly extraordinary.

As soon as the iron stake was pulled up a little, the ground immediately began to shake violently, even more violently than before.

Although Chen Yang was prepared, he was still almost shaken off his feet.

The surface of Xuanwu Lake surged, and the energy of the water veins that had settled in the lake erupted once more, colliding with the earth pulse of Longtai Mountain.

Rumble…

Dark clouds gathered over Longtai Mountain, followed by a sudden flash of lightning and thunder.

As expected, it triggered celestial phenomena.

The two elders of the Yang family, who were watching from a distance, were also shocked by what they saw. Pulling out an iron stake had actually triggered a celestial phenomenon. Could this kid Chen Yang withstand it?

On Xuanwu Lake, the water and soil energies clashed and intertwined, and faint roars of beasts could be heard.

The two elders of the Yang family couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat; the power of heaven and earth made them feel extremely oppressed and fearful.

Now let's talk about Chen Yang.

A terrifying spiritual pressure pressed down on him, and the water and earth elements relentlessly burrowed into his body, more frantically than the previous four times.

The eight-winged centipede flew onto Chen Yang's body, and the stone bead hanging at his waist was also rapidly absorbing the two energies. However, the two could only share a portion of the energy, and nearly half of the spiritual pressure still directly suppressed Chen Yang.

Chen Yang pushed his golden body to its limit, his whole body shimmering with golden light, but his hands never stopped moving. He gritted his teeth, withstood the terrifying spiritual pressure, and lifted the last iron stake up little by little.

"Ouch..."

Above Xuanwu Lake, the azure water vein energy and the earthy yellow earth vein energy, initially clashing and clashing, gradually converged, the two energies intertwining and coalescing...

A beastly roar echoed from the void.

The sound shook heaven and earth.

Under the watchful eye of the heavens, it is not difficult to see that the earth-yellow ley line energy rapidly condenses into a giant tortoise shadow, while the azure ley line energy hovers in the sky and then condenses into a giant snake shadow.

Chen Yang saw it clearly, but he was overwhelmed by the immense spiritual pressure and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

"what……"

With a roar, Chen Yang's veins bulged and his body shone with golden light. He used all his strength and finally pulled the iron stake out completely.

The earth vein energy and water vein energy finally reunited at this moment. The ground beneath our feet trembled, and even the distant mountains shook. The lake water surged with huge waves, as if a divine beast was about to break free.

Above Xuanwu Lake, two beasts, a tortoise and a snake, formed from the condensation of two energies, intertwined with each other. Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, lightning flashed within the clouds, and a terrifying divine might pressed down from the clouds.

At this moment, the two beasts seemed to sense the might of heaven and stopped trembling. The giant snake twisted its body and quickly climbed onto the back of the giant tortoise.

"Ouch..."

The two beasts merged and roared to the sky.

A terrifying aura soared into the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck the basalt rock in the center of the lake.

The terrifying electric shock sent Chen Yang flying into the air, where he landed in the lake.

Curse?

Chen Yang emerged from the lake, looked up at the sky, and his expression changed slightly. As expected, he had incurred divine punishment.

He hurriedly swam to the shore.

But the heavenly might seemed to dissipate rapidly. The tortoise and snake beasts in the void roared at the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone down again.

Is this divine punishment just one instance?
Is this really how you treat people?

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, only to see the phantom images of the tortoise and snake in the void slowly recede and finally disappear completely into the basalt stone in the middle of the lake.

The ground stopped shaking, and the ripples in the lake gradually subsided.

"call!"

Chen Yang let out a long sigh of relief, his heart still pounding.

My body was once again filled to the brim with the two elements of water and earth, making me feel so bloated that I could hardly move a finger.

He quickly mobilized his true energy, forcibly expelling the accumulated water and earth energies from his body and channeling them all into the Medicine Buddha statue.

It's unclear how much time passed, but once Chen Yang finished dealing with his internal condition, the turbulent water and soil energies in the lake had completely calmed down.

The entire Xuanwu Lake was unusually quiet, with only the sound of a distant waterfall audible.

Chen Yang stretched his limbs, not even bothering to check his own condition, put away the Medicine Buddha statue, and immediately ran to the basalt stone in the center of the lake.

In the center of the lake.

All five iron stakes have been removed. The earth veins and water veins intersect, now intertwined, flowing smoothly and peacefully.

The basalt stone was struck by lightning, and some parts of it were charred, but the stone itself was not damaged much. However, a large area of ​​the surrounding vegetation was scorched, so it was an undeserved disaster.

The shackles have been removed, the feng shui of this place is being restored, and the Xuanwu Stone Spirit has been freed. Now, we should be able to communicate, right?

Chen Yang directly probed his primordial spirit into the basalt stone, attempting to communicate with it. He quickly sensed the presence of a spiritual energy, and the two resonated together.

"Thank you very much, young man!"

A slightly aged voice suddenly appeared in Chen Yang's mind.

Just by listening to the voice, Chen Yang couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

"It was nothing, senior, there's no need for thanks."

Although the other person's voice was obviously weak, at least they could communicate. Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his risk hadn't been in vain and that his efforts hadn't been for nothing.

Chen Yang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "Senior, I want to ask, what happened in this tomb at the bottom of the lake..."

There were no beating around the bush; it was very direct.

"Ugh."

The basalt stone sighed. When it was trapped earlier, the stone spirit had already communicated with it, so it naturally knew what Chen Yang wanted to know.

At that moment, it didn't beat around the bush and started explaining cause and effect to Chen Yang.

The basalt has existed here for countless years. The unique geological and water veins here have created this precious place for cultivation.

Long ago, a cultivator came here and, feeling the abundance of energy, built an underwater cave where he cultivated himself, attained enlightenment, and became a celestial being.

The feng shui of Xuanwu Lake was transformed, and the energy gathered there became extremely concentrated. During this period, Xuanwu Stone also benefited greatly. With the guidance of the master, its cultivation progressed rapidly, and within a few hundred years, it condensed the true spirit of Xuanwu.

Six hundred years ago, this master was granted an imperial title and left Longtai Mountain, but when he returned, he was already a mutilated corpse.

This remarkable person was none other than Yang Ye, the ancestor of the Yang family.

Two people brought him back.

One of them was Zhao Quanzhen from Mount Shu, and the other was said to be Qi Tianfu, a Dao Zhen realm cultivator from Kunlun and a subordinate of Yang Ye.

They buried Yang Ye's body in a cave at the bottom of Xuanwu Lake.

It is said that Yang Ye's body was tampered with. Zhao Quanzhen and others were unable to deal with it at the time, so they set up a seal, using the energy of the earth veins and water veins of Longtai Mountain to suppress it, and instructed the Xuanwu Stone Spirit to guard it.

Several hundred years have passed. About thirty years ago, a group of people came here and used magical artifacts to suppress the Xuanwu Stone Spirit. They also drove dragon-severing stakes into its stone body, cutting off the water and earth veins. As a result, the formation at the bottom of the lake could not draw enough water and soil energy and gradually weakened.

Nearly thirty years have passed, and the formation is finally on the verge of collapse.

……

After listening, Chen Yang had many questions in his mind.

"Why did they go through all this trouble? And if they started doing it thirty years ago, why didn't they completely sever the earth's veins and water veins back then? Why did they leave a thread open and wait another thirty years?"

Chen Yang initially thought these people were just amateurs, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes it's not that simple.

Xiao Sanhuai and his gang were clearly after what was in the tomb at the bottom of the lake. Even if their methods were amateurish, they could have easily used brute force to destroy the basalt stone and completely destroy the formation at the bottom of the lake.

But they didn't do that. Instead, they drove in a few iron stakes and left, as if they deliberately spared the life of the Xuanwu Stone Spirit, allowing the formation at the bottom of the lake to linger and slowly weaken.

This puzzled Chen Yang.

The Xuanwu Stone Spirit said, "After Yang Shanjun's body was buried, I gradually felt that something was wrong. It seemed that some kind of ferocious creature had been born in that cave. At first, the creature was very weak, but over time it grew stronger and stronger, and it often attacked the seal. However, the seal left by Zhao Quanzhen and the others was very powerful, suppressed by the enormous energy of Longtai Mountain, and it could not shake it at all..."

"Thinking back, when Zhao Quanzhen and the others said that Yang Shanjun's body had been tampered with, that tampering must have been this ferocious creature. However, although I can sense the existence of that creature, my primordial spirit cannot enter the sealed area, so I have no way of knowing what it is..."

"With the suppression of the formation and the sealing barrier, I have always been at peace with it. But ever since those people destroyed my foundation, the formation has been slowly weakening. I have barely managed to mobilize the energy I had accumulated over the years to hold out for so long..."

"They must have come for the ferocious creature in the cave, but perhaps they were afraid that if they broke the formation directly, they wouldn't be able to suppress the creature inside. That's why they chose this method to slowly dissipate the formation's energy..."

"The array's energy was weakened, and the ferocious creature in the cave was no longer as ferocious as before. Its power was probably also weakened. Until one stormy night more than a month ago, another person came..."

"This person dived to the bottom of the lake, broke the seal, and took away the evil spirit that was imprisoned there..."

……

Hearing this, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "After that ferocious creature appeared, did you see what it was?"

"No."

The Xuanwu Stone Spirit smiled bitterly, "I am very weak and spend most of my time in slumber to protect my consciousness from annihilation. That night, there was a thunderstorm, and fearing I would be injured by the heavenly lightning, I concealed my consciousness and aura. That person came quickly and left quickly. I only had a slight perception, sensing only an extremely strong murderous aura, and then it disappeared without a trace. By the time my consciousness entered the cave, it had already been flooded, leaving only some bones..."

"What did that person look like? Did you see him?" Chen Yang asked again.

The Xuanwu Stone Spirit said, "I didn't see his face clearly, but this person seems to only have one right hand, and his cultivation level is definitely at the Dao True Realm. As for the specific level, I didn't have time to sense it..."

One-armed!

That's quite a characteristic.

Chen Yang thought back for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to know any one-armed powerhouses.

Without giving it much thought, he asked, "When Zhao Shanjun and the others buried Yang Shanjun, did they not mention who specifically tampered with Yang Shanjun's body or what actions were taken?"

"No."

The Black Tortoise Stone Spirit sighed, "However, before Zhao Quanzhen left, he said they would come back to deal with the hidden dangers later, but..."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

Perhaps Zhao Quanzhen did consider coming back to deal with it, but who could have imagined that a calamity would suddenly occur four hundred years ago, causing all the experts in the Celestial Realm to perish? How could anyone still remember to deal with this matter?

A one-armed strongman, a ferocious beast from the bottom of the lake?
Chen Yang's mind raced for a moment. He realized that there were other ways to find out what kind of ferocious creature had been taken away.

Since Wang Youzhi was the one who led the team to sever the meridians back then, he should know some information.

The eight-winged centipede needs to work overtime again.

Chen Yang took a deep breath; he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Now that the murder weapon has been taken away, there is no longer any threat to the Yang family.

This can be considered as giving the Yang family elders an explanation.

"I am extremely grateful for your help this time. If it weren't for your assistance, I'm afraid I would have died soon."

"Senior, as I said, it was just a small favor."

"No, no, no, the debt of saving my life is a great cause and effect, and it cannot be forgiven simply by ignoring it."

Xuanwu Shiling sighed and continued, "I have nothing of value to offer but a cultivation technique I have painstakingly comprehended over the years, which I call the 'Xuanwu Heart Sutra.' If you don't mind, young friend, I would like to give you this technique as a token of my gratitude..."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused.

The unexpected gratitude made him a little embarrassed.

However, he also knew that cultivators all share a common problem: they don't want to get involved in too much karma, especially spiritual beings who cultivate alone in deep mountains and forests.

Once a cause and effect are established, they must be severed in time. Firstly, to avoid causing trouble in the future, and secondly, to prevent the formation of an obsession that obstructs one's thoughts and hinders the clarity of one's spiritual path, causing one to constantly remember the debt of gratitude owed for saving one's life, thus affecting one's cultivation.

Therefore, regardless of the grudges, it is best to settle them on the spot.

Xuanwu Heart Sutra?

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow; the name did sound quite profound.

But it was a technique that the Xuanwu Stone Spirit comprehended on its own. Regardless of its level, can a human cultivate a technique that a stone can cultivate?

However, he never intended to argue with the Xuanwu Stone Spirit.

Since he wants to settle this karmic debt, if I don't accept his offering, it will only hinder his spiritual practice.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

Even if you don't need it yourself, you can give it to the Stone Spirit so it can learn from it.

The next second, a stream of light shot out from the basalt stone and headed straight for Chen Yang.

Before Chen Yang could dodge, the stream of light entered his brow.

"Ok?"

Chen Yang felt as if he had been hit on the head with a club, his head buzzing.

The thing that entered his forehead was unknown. After entering his body, it split into two, with one part going directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, it felt like something had been stuffed into my mind.

Those who hadn't come to take a closer look saw another stream of light directly enter the Qi Sea.

"Roar!"

A roar came from within the Qi Sea.

The flowing light instantly manifested into a phantom image of a dragon and snake, causing the true essence in the dantian to surge wildly.

A moment later, the dragon and snake phantom disappeared into the inner core at the center of the Qi Sea, leaving a Xuanwu Dao pattern on the surface of the inner core.
