We agreed to go to Taishan Sect and you will pull the coffin for me.

Chapter 42: Stepping into Purple Mountain, Tai Chi Divine Diagram

After experiencing several bloody battles, Lu Heng gained some insights into the Tao, consolidated the foundation of his cultivation, and improved his combat awareness and skills. If he were to perform several sacred offensive techniques again, his combat power would become even more terrifying.

He was filled with emotion: "As expected of a universe famous for its battles, baptism by battle is the fastest path to cultivation."

Then, Lu Heng looked around at the Lihuo Divine Furnace and patted it, feeling regretful: "After all, it belongs to the Jiang family, so I have to return it."

Ye Fan asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Is it so rare to have a magical weapon made by a Taoist monk?"

Lu Heng shook his head, with a look of "you don't understand" and said: "I want to say that it is the strongest weapon second only to the Emperor's weapon. Do you believe it?"

"It? This broken furnace, a quasi-emperor weapon?!" Ye Fan's face was full of disbelief. He slapped the Lihuo God Furnace hard, making a clanging sound. The power of the Holy Body even caused a collapse. He was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand and laughed, "Based on this performance, are you crazy?"

"Haha." Lu Heng smiled without saying anything: "If you are a quasi-emperor soldier, how about you do something for me? Sneak into the Purple Mansion Holy Land and steal the Purple Mansion Bible."

"It is said that this holy land is also known as the [Purple Qi from the East Holy Land], and it has done a lot of research on innate purple qi. I am quite interested in it."

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Ye Fan hesitated instead.

Lu Heng challenged him: "What do you think? Do you dare?!"

"Then take a gamble!"

Ye Fan didn't believe it anyway, but when he said this, he had a subtle intuition in his heart that he had fallen into a trap again.

Lu Heng made the decision and wanted to sign: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Jokes aside, the two of them pacified the five major religious tumors and obtained a total of more than 6,000 kilograms of source, which was enough for them to practice for a long time.

It just so happened that Lu Heng's cultivation had reached the peak of the second level of the Taoist Palace, with almost no bottlenecks. In addition, two large magic beads exuded the charm of Taoism, wrapping the gods and transforming them into fairy cocoons, allowing them to spontaneously achieve nirvana, with a solid foundation and no hidden dangers.

He was ready to open the third level of the divine treasure, and from gold to water, it was the kidneys' turn.

Rumble!
Lu Heng's wheel sea roared, and the small Yin-Yang method was running. The bitter sea wheel of life collapsed, and the essence of the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram was replayed. It was like a black and white millstone, deep and terrifying, and nothing could be unrefined. The illusory creation furnace cast by the central divine pattern rose and fell, and with a swish, thousands of pounds of source were invested.

That's right! He refined the thousand-jin source in one breath, and the wheel sea was like a bottomless pit. It was no longer as easy to penetrate the bitter sea as before. One reason was that his cultivation level had increased, the second was that the small yin and yang method returned the essence of the wheel sea, and the third was the reshaping of his natural constitution.

Although the resources consumed are far less than those of the Holy Body, it still takes one-tenth of that at the same level.

The black and white millstones rotated slowly, and the furnace of creation refined a vast amount of life essence, which cleansed the whole body, soared into the sky, and sank into the vast purple soil between the chest and abdomen. The two sky palaces were suspended, receiving the nourishing baptism.

Soon, the third pitch-black water palace appeared. Inside, a congenital lotus platform bloomed, like a black Epiphyllum. Sitting upright was a deity who looked like the young Lu Heng, but was wearing a black imperial robe, like a black emperor of water.

Above the purple soil, the three great immortal palaces resonated and ran side by side. The sound of Tao rumbled and emitted an immortal color, the heavy dark yellow, the sharp white gold, and the deep dark color. The three colors of light formed a cloud cover, which was extremely extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the only thing that is not so beautiful is that the palace of the Water God's Treasure, both in size and in terms of Taoist charm, is far behind because it lacks the Water Spirit Pearl.

In one month, he was promoted to the third level of the Taoist Palace!

Lu Heng stood up, his sleeves fluttering, his temperament ethereal, he looked at the scene in the Taoist Palace, frowned slightly, there was nothing he could do, he could only wait until he returned to Blue Star to collect the five spirit beads. He didn't know if he had the luck to gather them all in this vast world, even if it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After he came out of seclusion, he learned that a big news had happened in the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland and spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

A blue pyramid, a sacred weapon handed down from generation to generation, was dug out from an ancient mine in the Yaoguang Holy Land. Unfortunately, it was taken away by a mysterious old woman.

To make matters worse, the thirteen bandits, a well-known group of independent cultivators in the Northern Territory, took the opportunity to raid the mining area of ​​the Yaoguang Holy Land and plundered a huge amount of sources.

Lu Heng had a strange look on his face. This old woman might be one of the characters left over from the Tianxuan Holy Land that attacked the ancient forbidden land. She was of the same generation as the old madman, and the other party eventually died in the extreme northern region of Beiyuan.

According to the original timeline, Ye Fan was extradited to the Northern Territory through the channel of Yaoguang Holy Land to work illegally in the mines, and took advantage of this incident to escape.

At the moment, the two of them were hiding very quietly, crossing the Northern Territory. "Everything is ready, all that's left is to enter the Purple Mountain to get the opportunity."

At this time, Lu Heng secretly calculated that Zishan was dangerous and any saint who went in would be doomed. Fortunately, they had the Wu Shi Emperor Jade and could be teleported out.

If all else fails, there is the quasi-imperial weapon, the Lihuo Divine Furnace. This kind of divine weapon gave birth to gods. Although it is not easy to revive, they will still awaken passively when attacked beyond their limits.

Ye Fan couldn't wait any longer, because his cultivation had stagnated during this period of time and he lacked the fundamental mental method of the Taoist Palace Secret Realm.

When he asked Master Zhang Wu about the fifth generation Yuan Tianshi, he learned a piece of gossip that the Saint Girl of Yao Chi had fallen in love with Zhang Tianshi ten thousand years ago.

Lu Heng also confirmed this statement, and revealed that it was rumored that the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi of that generation might have passed on a short passage of scriptures in order to help the fifth generation Yuan Tianshi prolong his life.

"The Western Emperor Scripture, the fundamental mental method of the Yaochi Holy Land, was created by the Western Emperor Mother. This ancient scripture, which is said to be the strongest, actually has traces of it in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm."

Ye Fan was not calm at all. The Source Book of Heaven and the Western Emperor Sutra were both his goals for coming to the Northern Territory.

Immediately, Ye Fan put on the stone clothes, stone pendant and stone star plate, while Lu Heng was exaggerated. He stuffed his whole body into the Lihuo Divine Furnace, put a small Yin-Yang mirror on his head, set up a furnace and staggered forward, and both of them held an emperor jade in their hands.

Seeing this, Ye Fan curled his lips and said, "The only thing that's really useful in your set is this ancient mirror. If this little broken furnace really encounters any danger, it will be smashed to pieces in an instant."

Lu Heng sneered and said, “When the time comes, just don’t be really fragrant and it’s over.”

Fully armed, they chose one of the nine dragon veins guarding the Purple Mountain and stepped into it. The empty vein was dark and deep, and as soon as they entered, they were attacked by humanoid bats.

This scared Ye Fan, and when he took action, he found that it was not something strange, but just a kind of creature, the demon bat, which was only born in a very dangerous place.

After that, the two went deeper and deeper without encountering any danger. However, on the walls of the mine, there were pictures engraved by ancient sages, telling a glorious story.

Lu Heng briefly recounted the experience of how the Wu Shi Emperor suppressed the Immortal Queen.

Ye Fan was in a state of unrest: "The ancient great emperor..."

However, they were not so leisurely soon. After passing this mural, some strange events occurred. Inexplicably, cold wind whistled and made a humming sound. In the black wind, there were vague shadows, outlining hazy ghost figures, accompanied by an extreme coldness.

Ye Fan was seen holding a stone knife and slashing forward. All the ghosts retreated. Even so, he still felt uncomfortable and heavy in his heart.

Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, dozens of knocking sounds were heard nearby. Lu Heng huddled in the Lihuo God Furnace. A cold wind blew past, and the furnace became strangely uneven.

What surprised Ye Fan was that, although the divine furnace seemed to be crumbling at first glance, it had not been completely pierced.

Lu Heng felt very safe.

This test was considered passed, and the view ahead suddenly became clear. A small, vibrant world emerged, with lush vegetation, active creatures, a unique atmosphere, and a strong spiritual energy.

At the end of the passage to the small world, two deep caves appeared, one swallowing up murderous energy, and the other gushing out spiritual energy. It was like a natural yin-yang diagram, containing vast power of the great way.

The key test is here. This natural Tai Chi diagram outlined by the divine terrain is forbidden for many strong people to step into. There are corpses everywhere outside, all of them are peerless figures.

Lu Heng glanced at these masters whose bodies were still alive after they died, and realized that they were all cultivators below the second level of immortal power. God King Jiang Taixu and others were not blocked and were able to continue moving forward.

This means that as long as one has the cultivation level of a third-level Immortal King, one can pass. Obviously, the small Yin-Yang mirror alone is not enough.

He planned to cover himself with the ancient mirror to relieve the impact, and put a layer of Lihuo Furnace on the outside to resist the damage, so that he would be safe.

Unexpectedly, at this time, something strange happened.
