Chapter 310 Fifteen years of entanglement, it's over. Goodbye, Princess! (4000)

The woman, dressed in a fur coat, had a furrowed brow, and layers of pale yellow corpse energy emanated from her body, covering it.

"Lie Lin'er died long ago at the foot of Thousand Weapon Peak. I was never her!"

"Junior brother, we have no grudges against each other."

As her words faded, her figure gradually blurred, as if she were about to leave.

The next moment, the blurry figure suddenly became clear.

"The space is sealed off."

The woman's red lips were slightly parted, her eyes were indifferent, and she didn't seem too surprised.

The more we understand young people, the clearer we become about the crisis we face today.

Zhang Yuanzhu's arms hung naturally at his sides, his double pupils as deep and unfathomable as he calmly observed the group of cultivators.

"Zhang Yuanzhu, are you going to kill your elders?"

"You heartless wretch! If it weren't for the sect taking you in, you'd probably be starving to death somewhere."

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one old and one middle-aged, roared, unleashing billowing corpse energy that permeated the mountains and rivers.

The corpses, refining themselves, appeared and disappeared amidst the corpse energy, eerie and dangerous.

Meanwhile, on the ground, numerous disciples of the Corpse Refining lineage, upon hearing their elders' roars, all changed their expressions drastically and scattered in all directions, showing no intention of making a move.

They even stopped paying attention to the bull demons that were surrounding them.

No cultivator is a fool; how could they not understand the difference between their elders and that person?

Everything happened in an instant; streaks of rainbow light shot into the sky and fled frantically.

"No one can leave today!"

Zhang Yuanzhu remained indifferent as he slowly raised his arms and opened his palms.

In the blink of an eye, the ten fingers changed a hundred times, and with each change, lightning burst forth from the fingertips, dazzling and brilliant.

Finally, his palms stopped abruptly, forming an ancient hand seal.

It resembled a worship ceremony, or perhaps a prayer, both desolate and sacred.

Boom!

Thunder shook the heavens, and countless bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, crisscrossing and intertwining, as if the Tao and reason flowed and converged within them.

Then, it transformed into a towering, majestic, and imposing purple gate.

It rises slowly!

"What kind of magic is this?"

At that moment, both of the corpse-refining elders, who had raised their magical power to the extreme, were stunned.

The woman in the pale yellow fur coat, whose body was surrounded by a surging aura of death, suddenly stopped.

The fleeing cultivators stopped one by one, gazing at the Thunder Gate that seemed both far away and yet so close.

"The fun is over!"

The voice was calm, not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Boom~
The portal trembled slightly, and all the corpse energy, corpse refining, and even magical artifacts burst like bubbles.

One by one, figures exploded, and blood rained down like a torrential downpour.

Whether it's Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, there's no difference at this moment.

In an instant, the sky cleared, and all but the woman in the Corpse Refining lineage perished!

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his arms, and the gate that had supported the sky and connected to the earth slowly dissipated.

He walked on air, step by step approaching the graceful figure standing in the vast sky.

Ta-ta-ta~
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed between heaven and earth.

A fierce wind howled, and the red robe fluttered in the wind. The young man stopped in front of the beautiful figure.

He stretched out his hand and directly lifted the woman's bamboo hat.

Scattered traces of corpse energy lingered among her dark hair; her yellow dress was like jade; she looked radiant in the mirror; a familiar yet unfamiliar pretty face came into view.

Her brows were like a painting, exquisitely beautiful, carrying a hint of sorrow and relief.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were calm, but his expression was serious.

"The seasons have turned, and fifteen years have passed. Fellow Daoist, you are not far off!"

The woman pursed her red lips slightly, and for the second time at this distance, she looked at that resolute face. Her hazy memories and reality merged, and she was momentarily dazed.

After a long while, he sighed:
"Junior brother, can't you see the truth with those eyes? I am not Lie Lin'er."

"Born by chance from among several wrecks, I am ultimately not her."

"My name is Zhao Lin'er!"

An unexpected event occurred when the remains of a noblewoman who had died in the Qian Kingdom were buried together in the ancestral land of the Corpse Refining lineage.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were calm as he tossed the bamboo hat from his hand, placed his palm on the woman's collarbone, and whispered:
"Zhao Lin'er, I've remembered your name!"

"If there is reincarnation, let this world never be repeated."

Stab it!

Blood splattered, and a head flew off.

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

A streak of crimson-gold flame appeared out of nowhere, spreading from the ends of the earth, burning away blood and bones.

Zhang Yuanzhu flicked the blood from his fingertips, his face expressionless.

Whether it's Lie Lin'er or Zhao Lin'er, there's no room for compromise now.

Once all traces were cleared, Zhang Yuanzhu transformed into lightning and continued his pursuit of the demons and his enemies.

The sun and moon revolve, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yuanzhu roamed the vast land, hunting down demons and acquiring resources, his strength constantly increasing.

This wasn't just true for the youth; all the major powers were doing the same, taking advantage of the demon race's defeat to continuously gain resources.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Ninth Pass, in a vast ancient forest, a tall, slender figure leaned against a tree trunk.

At his feet lay a two-winged purple tiger, its head caved in, lifeless.

This was a powerful and monstrous thunder beast, yet it was slain here.

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his gaze from the Thunder Beast and began to sense the inside of its body.

His entire skeleton was purple, with a thin layer of precious liquid adhering to it, undergoing final tempering.

A cup of tea!

A stick of incense!

Half an hour!

The final drop of precious liquid has been refined.

hum~
His bones trembled slightly, and his entire body shook. His blood energy surged out like a tidal wave, sweeping in all directions and washing over the ancient forest.

One by one, the demonic beasts roared in fear and fled in panic.

Breathe
The young man opened his mouth and inhaled sharply.

The surging blood energy was all compressed into the body, and every inch of flesh, bones and muscles conveyed a sense of power.

"The body-refining process was completed in nearly four months, even faster than expected."

The youth whispered.

The second stage of the Nine Tribulations Thunder Body Technique—bone tempering—has been successfully completed!
Next, the third level of the Body Refinement Method: Cleansing of the Five Internal Organs.

Using the five elements of thunder to cleanse the five internal organs, it is dangerous and explosive.

However, for him, his physical body will inevitably see a greater improvement.

The young man never specifically tempered his internal organs.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were filled with thought. The Five Elements Thunder needed to utilize special terrain to set up an array and attract thunder of various attributes.

"Which attribute of lightning should we start with for tempering?"

The young man narrowed his double pupils, observed his surroundings, and quickly made a decision.

This place is filled with ancient trees and vibrant life. We can find the most vibrant spot, set up an array, draw in wood lightning, and temper our five internal organs—specifically, the liver.

Moreover, the gentle nature of the wood element allows the five internal organs to adapt better.

Having made his decision, he did not hesitate, straightened his back, and put away the demon corpse.

Then, they walked deeper into the ancient forest.

Crunch~crunch~
Zhang Yuanzhu walked forward on the withered branches, his eyes sharp as he surveyed his surroundings, unabashedly radiating his aura.

Like a ferocious beast, it roams freely without restraint.

The vegetation was lush and the trees were tall. Monsters would occasionally leap out, only to turn into floating corpses at one's feet.

Continue forward until you reach the heart of the jungle.

The ancient trees are thick and tall, standing hundreds of feet high, and they stand all around, making the spiritual energy in the air even more vibrant.

The young man nodded in satisfaction.

"This place is not bad."

He took a step forward and began to observe every inch of the surrounding land, constantly thinking about the formation arrangement in his mind.

Soon, the answer came to mind.

A thought came to my mind.

One array plate after another flew out and disappeared into the earth; one array flag after another floated out from the storage and plunged straight into the ground; at the same time, array patterns spread from the feet and spread outwards.

From day to night, the lightning-attracting array, utilizing the terrain, was successfully set up. He also deployed numerous protective arrays around the area to prevent disturbance.

After everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged on the treetop, gazing at the bright moon, and chuckled softly:
"start!"

buzz~
The array patterns flowed, the array plate shone brightly, and array flags fluttered in the wind.

In an instant, a large formation was activated.

Dark clouds surged, obscuring the bright moon and creating a sense of oppression.

Boom~
A bolt of azure lightning appeared, twisting within the dark clouds before dissipating.

This scene caught the young man's eye.

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips curled up. The formation was correct; it could indeed attract wood lightning.

Crackling~
Streaks of blue lightning flashed in the dark clouds, twisting and slicing like blue snakes, illuminating a large area of ​​forest.

Boom!

First, a thunderclap exploded, then a bolt of blue lightning crashed down, striking the crimson figure.

In an instant, the lightning exploded, transforming into streaks of lightning that entered his body and spread to all parts of his body.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm, his dantian trembled, and bursts of magical power erupted, enveloping his body as lightning surged towards his liver.

A slight stinging sensation appeared instantly, and the pain intensified over time.

"The liver is indeed strengthening."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

As for the pain, it didn't cause the slightest ripple in my heart.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck, its power surging towards the liver.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of booming sounds echoed through the sky, and a blue light swirled and faded between heaven and earth. One by one, all living beings looked up at the center of the jungle.

A hundred miles away, two figures stood in mid-air, gazing towards the jungle.

A middle-aged man dressed in a white robe and wearing a cloud-patterned crown had a slight frown between his brows.

"Is this the birth of a rare treasure?"

"Haha~, Brother Lie, there are no rare treasures left in this border region. They have long been looted clean by the powerful members of the two races."

The young man, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, laughed loudly.

"Such a display of power must be either a practice of magic or a formation."

"Moreover, only our human race would dare to act so recklessly. The demon race, which is fleeing in disarray, would never dare to do such a thing."

Before the words had even finished, he had already taken a step forward.

"Brother Lie, come with me and let's see which fellow Daoist it is."

"it is good."

The two transformed into rainbow lights and sped away.

Soon, they arrived ten miles away from the thunder and looked at the tall figure whose body was wrapped in blue lightning.

The middle-aged man wearing a cloud-patterned crown looked at the figure, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

"Zhang Yuanzhu!"

They were all too familiar with this person; he was a major threat to the Dharma lineage and even the Yuan Kingdom.

Every high-ranking member of the Yuan Kingdom and the legal lineage will keep this in mind.

"Zhang Yuanzhu?"

The young man, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, composed himself, his expression turning solemn, his eyes gleaming.

"It really is that person, it's us."

"careful!"

The young man from Wuliang Palace growled.

A long, white ruler, carrying dazzling lightning, charged forward like a swimming dragon.

The lightning bolt moved with lightning speed, traversing the sky in an instant, and struck the middle-aged man's chest.

The murderous intent was chilling, resolute and cold.

bang~
His chest exploded open, scattering blood and pieces of internal organs across the ground.

Chu Yun, a middle-aged man from the Chu lineage, had an expression of disbelief on his face. This attack was too sudden, giving him no time to react.

"You are crazy!"

The young man from Wuliang Palace, looking frantic, retreated rapidly.

Divine halos emanated from his body, and rays of light swept forward.

"Ah!"

A chuckle.

The measuring ruler vibrated, shattering the remains into pieces. With a gentle sweep forward, it extinguished the radiance that filled the sky.

It was as if a long sword had fallen, its sharpness unparalleled, shattering all divine rings, and striking the young man from the Boundless Palace on the head.

slap~
The entire body exploded, turning into a rain of blood that fell down.

The long, white ruler trembled slightly, flew back, and slung around the young man's waist.

The battle ended in the blink of an eye, and both Foundation Establishment cultivators were dead!

Zhang Yuanzhu's expression remained unchanged as he continued to temper his liver, while his magical power also steadily increased amidst the lightning.

He continuously accelerated the tempering of his five internal organs, and the wooden thunder in the clouds became increasingly explosive and magnificent.

From late at night to early morning, Zhang Yuanzhu did not rest for a moment.

The young man sensed the degree of tempering in his liver, and a smile appeared on his face.

One month!

The liver can be fully tempered in a month at most.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat upright in the treetop, single-mindedly focusing on body training.

the other side.

Since the demon camp was destroyed, the ninth level has been moving forward steadily toward the edge of the ancient cliff mountain, in an effort to completely expel the demons.

On the city wall, several real people sat cross-legged, controlling the ancient city to move forward.

A real person with bluish-green hair frowned slightly, and slowed down the movements of his palm.

"My disciple died outside the city."

"The demon race is cunning, and their conquests are perilous; it is not surprising that anyone would perish."

"Don't get distracted. The demon race will not be content with their years of conquest being destroyed, and they will surely attack again."

"And the major sects from beyond the borders will not give up easily."

Several people nearby advised him not to get distracted.

The real man with bluish-green hair pointed westward and sighed softly:
"He is still my disciple after all. Even if he dies, there must be an explanation."

"Although most of the sect's disciples are in the ancient city controlling the formations, some of the sects that have pledged allegiance to us are still outside the city. Let them go and search for them."

The group of people exchanged glances.

The devastating destruction of the demon camp naturally shocked some sects and attracted many forces to secretly pledge allegiance.

"Can!"

Twenty-six days later.

Above the ancient forest, dark clouds filled the sky, and blue thunder flashed.

Beneath the ancient forest, charred corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged in the tree canopy, unchanged from before, except for a long, white ruler that floated beside him, stained with specks of blood.

In the past month, all living beings near the jungle have been either killed by the great formation or by the measuring rod of heaven, without exception.

And now, the tempering process is about to end.

Zhang Yuanzhu's chest heaved, and thunderous sounds echoed continuously.

Countless tiny blue thunderbolts converge in the liver, causing blood and qi to surge, making the liver increasingly powerful.

As a result, the Qi of the five internal organs circulates, which in turn strengthens the other four internal organs.

Boom~
As the last bolt of azure lightning struck, all the wooden lightning bolts were forced into the liver, completing their tempering process.

The five internal organs vibrate, and the Qi flows, with the liver (wood) leading the heart fire, passing through the spleen (earth) and finally ending in the kidney water.

With each flow of Qi, the four internal organs gradually strengthen.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Yuanzhu stood up.

Crackling!

The bones in his body resounded as if thunder had struck.

He adjusted to the increased power for a moment, then turned his gaze to one direction.

Two powerful auras are confronting each other.

Each of them possesses extraordinary energy, making them formidable even among those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Five days ago, the two were like this, and they haven't changed since.
