The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 239 The Power of the Yellow Court Jade Scripture

Phoenix Perch Mountain, in the guest courtyard.

The Pure Brightness Bell tolls on its own, its sound waves vibrate, and the laws of purity surround it, protecting itself and strengthening the spiritual platform, but it is still not enough.

A continuous stream of demonic energy surged from his body, causing his inner gate to tremble, and his primordial spirit engaged in a fierce battle with a dark shadow.

This dark figure was none other than the Night Demon's Distraction.

How exactly did it possess me? Did it escape from the cave, or had it been lying in wait all along?
He knew nothing of these mysteries, nor did he have the inclination to investigate them; at the moment, he had only one thought:
Suppress the Night Demon!

Kill Night Demon!

Inside the entryway, the Night Demon was pleasantly surprised.

"I never imagined you would harbor such a secret. A primordial spirit of nine thousand feet—even beings with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top are no more than this."

What a surprise.

These will now become my foundation. Once I devour your primordial spirit and occupy your physical body, I will be able to quickly recover my strength, and even devour your original body in return, reaching the height that your original body has always dreamed of but could never reach.

I will surely reign supreme once more.

The Night Demon was excited, flapping its wings wildly, and the laws of the soul spread out. The nine-thousand-foot-tall primordial spirit was uneasy and radiated pure yang divine light.

Pure Yang energy clashed fiercely with demonic energy.

The laws of primordial chaos collide with the laws of the soul.

In his own entryway, his spirit was actually at a slight disadvantage.

Xuanming realized that he had to finish the battle as quickly as possible. Although the Night Demon in front of him was only a split-minded being, his powerful abilities should not be underestimated.

The powerful demons are even more unpredictable in their methods.

Not to mention, the quality of a powerful being's divided soul far surpasses that of a refined spirit. The longer the battle drags on, the more chaotic the situation will become, which will be more disadvantageous to us. We must end this battle quickly!

With his mind made up, Xuanming summoned Taiji Heaven without hesitation and released the Primordial Dao Domain.

The scene in the entryway has changed dramatically.

The primordial spirit stood tall within the Primordial Dao Domain, with the Taiji Heaven above its head, the Primordial Earth beneath its feet, and the Dao Tree in its hand, pressing down on the Night Demon's divided soul with greatly increased power and amplified amplified amplification.

The Night Demon's expression changed.

I never expected the old Taoist priest in front of me to have such skills.

While he was wary, he was also extremely excited. The more this was the case, the more it proved that the old Taoist's secret was extraordinary.

The old Taoist spirit has the home-field advantage.

And now their methods are quite remarkable.

The Night Demon Ancestor realized that he also needed to finish the battle quickly. He stopped holding back and gritted his teeth to use a secret technique. Even if he would be weak for a while afterward, it would be worth it as long as he could devour the primordial spirit in front of him.

---

Demonic energy surged, and the laws of the soul churned.

The Night Demon Ancestor's divided soul was struck by the Dao Tree and instantly shattered into countless fragments.

These fragments danced like fireflies, forming an array that trapped Xuanming's primordial spirit.

Looking around, it felt like being in an ice crystal prison, with mirror-like lenses everywhere.

Everywhere are mirror images of the primordial spirit.

No trace of the Night Demon's distraction could be found.

Xuanming's heart sank. He raised his hand and waved the Dao Tree, attempting to attack. He discovered that the laws had been copied, the Dao Tree had been copied, and even his own actions, expressions, supernatural powers, and principles had been copied.

The attack intended to shatter the ice crystal cage was directly returned to the attacker, and it was a barrage of images attacking at once.

If he hadn't exerted less effort, he probably would have suffered a great loss. Knowing that ordinary attacks were useless, Xuanming had an idea.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the trees along the path; with a raised hand, he summoned the Taiji Heaven.

The Primordial Dao is not unique; it is only special because of its extremely high cultivation difficulty. Currently, only I can cultivate it.

However, the Night Demon's Divine Avatar possesses powerful methods and insights. Even though it is only at the level of a half-step Great Power now, its superior understanding is enough to replicate the Primordial Laws at the level of the Profound Bright Yang God.

Therefore, the method to break through this barrier must be unique. Taiji Heaven was transformed from the "Huangting Waijing Yujing". This book is the only genuine copy in heaven and earth, and it is mysterious and unfathomable. He did not believe that the Night Demon's divided spirit could replicate it.

A vortex rises in the palm, the Tai Chi symbol rotates, manipulating heaven and earth, reversing yin and yang, and devouring the ice crystal prison.

The Night Demon used his divine power to try to replicate the Taiji Heaven, but he got stuck after only managing to condense half of it.

Xuanming seized the opportunity and shattered the ice crystal.

The cracking sounds were incessant as the ice crystal prison shattered into countless ice shards, vanishing in an instant.

The Night Demon stumbled and nearly fell, his icy skin turning even paler. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his face as he coughed up a large amount of his divine soul and blood energy, which was absorbed by the Xuan Gate as nourishment. Looking at Xuan Ming, who had escaped, he was incredulous, never expecting that his tried-and-true secret technique would be broken so easily.

The facts were undeniable, and even if Night Demon was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the outcome.

After the disbelief subsided, he looked at the Tai Chi phantom in Xuanming's hand with fervent eyes, and his gaze toward the primordial spirit became even more determined.

I'll devour you!

As long as I devour you, I will surely become a top-tier powerhouse in this lifetime, perhaps even on par with the Dao Ancestor.

At that time, I will be the sole ruler of heaven and earth!

The Night Demon was distracted and obsessed.

However, Xuanming would not give him that chance.

---

While you are sick, I will kill you!
Taking advantage of the Night Demon's distraction and the temporary reversal of the situation, he managed to turn the tide and gain a slight advantage.

Xuanming launched a full-scale attack.

We are prepared to seize the opportunity and suppress this demon in one fell swoop.

He wielded the Taiji Heavenly Strike at the Night Demon's divided spirit, bringing with him the power of an entire realm, forcing even the suppressed demon king within to exert his strength.

All paths shine together, giving rise to Tai Chi.

The Tai Chi diagram also blesses the Tai Chi Heaven, where Yin and Yang flow, purity and turbidity unite, Heaven and Earth return to their origin, and the sun and moon interact harmoniously.

A powerful, overwhelming Tai Chi symbol pressed down.

Night Demon's pupils contracted as he was distracted, and he subconsciously held his breath, his expression both serious and excited.

He conjured a phoenix-tailed harp, its entire body crimson, radiating demonic energy, and raised his hand to produce a resounding, demonic sound.

The phoenix's cry rang out, and the demonic sound pierced the ears.

A ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic phoenix flew out from behind the Night Demon's distraction, its wings burning with blazing demonic flames, its phoenix eyes like knives, its gaze fierce and malevolent.

Zhang Yi spun around, transforming into a giant fire drill that hurtled towards the Tai Chi diagram, where spear and shield clashed.

Xuanming was taken aback and puzzled.

Both the Demon Phoenix and the Phoenix Tail Harp evoke a strong sense of familiarity.

But wasn't she suppressed?

Is there another secret?

Seeing that the Night Demon was gradually turning the tide of battle by playing the konghou, Xuanming temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

On one hand, it manipulates Taiji Heaven to fight back with all its might.

On the other hand, he made every effort to communicate with the "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing" hidden in the entrance hall.

He had already read this scripture twice and could barely grasp some of its essence. Like the Outer Mirror Scripture, it was mysterious and unpredictable, containing terrifying power that was impervious to all laws.

Most importantly, after years of research, Xuanming has figured out the direction in which this scripture's power is concentrated.

If the Taiji Heaven evolved from the *Huangting Waijing Yujing* focuses on suppression, then the *Huangting Zhongjing Yujing* should focus on killing.

The Night Demon's Divine Transformation is comparable to a half-step Great Power, and it is difficult to suppress it on its own. Even with the blessing of Taiji Heaven, it can only barely fight to a draw. To suppress or even kill this demon, the Yellow Court Jade Scripture is needed.

After several attempts, the scriptures were finally moved.

To the Night Demon's divided spirit, it appeared as if Xuanming's primordial spirit had suddenly acquired a scripture in its left hand.

This scripture possesses an ancient and profound aura, seemingly encompassing everything, and is surrounded by myriad divine lights and magnificent Daoist images, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

Even he could only glimpse a slight clue.

What concerned him even more was that upon seeing this scripture, he felt as if he had encountered the Great Dao, and only one voice remained in his heart:
get it!
Get it at all costs!
The sound is getting louder and louder.

What started as admonitions escalated into a hysterical outburst.

A look of madness appeared on the Night Demon's divided spirit's face, and its eyes turned bloodshot. But the next moment, as Xuanming swung the scripture down, the Night Demon's divided spirit changed from fanaticism to fear.

His expression was one of unprecedented terror.

He felt that the book had turned into a sword.

A sword that can slay immortals and destroy gods!
A sword that can tear the sky and split the earth!
A sword that divides the universe!
This filled him with great terror.

He tried to escape but found himself firmly locked in place, unable to move.
