Chapter 485 The Yin-Yang Mirror is nearing completion; ambush and killing! (4000)

Zhang Yuanzhu stood in the center of the temple, his expression fierce.

With the halberd slung behind his back, he slowly raised his arms and clenched his fists together.

Within his dantian, the nine-layered spiritual platform trembled, and magical power surged forth like a tidal wave.

Huhuhu~
The wind howled and the snow fell heavily, turning the temple into a vast expanse of white in an instant.

Red lotus blossoms emerge, each petal lifelike, crystal clear, dancing in the snow.

At this moment, the earth, the walls, the blood—everything—was destroyed and melted away under the wind and snow.

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his arms and strolled through the wind and snow, admiring the picturesque and magnificent scene.

I don't know how much time passed, but the snowstorm subsided, and the red lotus blossoms vanished.

The ancient temples that stood amidst the mountains and rivers also disappeared.

Standing atop Mount Dayue, Zhang Yuanzhu gazed at the utterly destroyed temple, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

"It's only just begun, it's not over yet."

He raised his palm, spread his fingers, and strands of energy he had found at the Jade Sun Temple gathered between his fingers and palm.

Tracing the [characteristics] deep within the soul, unleashing full power.

A variety of feelings welled up in his heart and were then cut off as he continued to search for the departed geniuses from the temple.

the other side.

Deep within the Wuliang Palace, inside the ancient bronze hall, four lamps are placed on the steps, emitting a soft glow that dispels the gloom and illuminates the ancient hall.

The moment Mu Luan Zhenjun died, a lamp suddenly went out, and the ancient hall dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, the light of the remaining three lamps changed drastically, and one figure after another emerged from the lamplight.

Each one exudes a mysterious aura, and every move they make contains the principles of Tao and reason. One can also faintly hear the prayers and kneeling of countless living beings.

The three True Lords, Qianjie, Yuyang, and Mingxin, looked at each other speechlessly and fell into silence.

After a long while, a hoarse voice finally rang out in the hall:
"Fellow Daoist Mu Luan led the twelve Ning Sha True Immortals in a desperate battle, but they were defeated!"

"The Jade Sun Temple has collapsed, and the Wooden Phoenix Temple is without a True Lord. After this battle, the lineage can be said to have suffered a severe blow."

At this moment, all the True Lords were filled with complex emotions. The Boundless Palace had been in the Ancient Cliff Mountain for nearly two thousand years, and had only encountered such a crisis a few times.

The Thousand Tribulations True Monarch slightly turned his body, looking towards the direction of the Jade Sun Temple:

"When Mu Luan attacked Yu Shen Yuan, it suffered heavy losses; otherwise, it would not have been defeated."

He couldn't imagine the scene of a cultivator at the First Stage of Qi Condensation reversing the severance of a Golden Core, which must be due to the fact that Mu Luan's strength had been damaged.

The remaining two True Lords remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Regardless of the reason, Fellow Daoist Mu Luan has indeed perished. We need to kill that person immediately and cannot allow him to grow any stronger. You must understand."

"He hasn't yet reached the end of the Qi Condensation Realm!"

Therefore, regardless of whether the opponent can break through to the Golden Core stage, there is still room for them to continue to grow stronger.

"Put aside everything about the Divine Realm and the Demon Pass, even if it means abandoning them completely, we must still kill Zhang Yuanzhu."

"This involves the survival of the orthodox tradition!"

The three illusory figures made their decision after a few words of conversation.

The Jade Sun Temple, millions of miles away, in a certain space.

Many cultivators dressed in ancient Taoist robes stood on the lawn, gazing sadly at the broken soul tablets.

"Elder Gu's soul tablet shattered, and he perished on the battlefield."

"The Supreme Elder's soul tablet has also been torn apart; his chances of survival are slim."

"The temple keeper and several of his uncles' souls were shattered."

The group of cultivators were filled with sorrow, and their mood became increasingly depressed.

The meaning of a temple keeper remaining at the temple and his death signifying something self-evident.

The Yuyang Temple has been destroyed!
Their home, the place that held their past joys and sorrows, has vanished.

"How could this be? How could this happen?"

"Even with the combined efforts of True Monarch Mu Luan and many other True Immortals, they were still defeated. Just how strong is he?"

A cacophony of noise arose.

Some people cried out in despair, some were at a loss, and some collapsed to the ground.

He was a cultivator, and a genius and prodigy among millions, so he naturally understood how powerful and formidable the person who had done such a feat was.

Facing that person, it was like
A mayfly gazing at the blue sky—the gap is so vast it's despair-inducing!
"enough!"

A low shout brought the many geniuses back to their senses, and they all looked at the figure wearing a jade-colored Taoist robe.

He was a young man with long, black hair tied up with a hairpin. His eyes were gentle yet lively, like willow branches swaying in the spring breeze or the sea under the summer sun, full of delightful vitality.

"In this world, there is no invincible creature, nor is there anything that is eternally victorious."

"When the Ancestor returned and the many True Lords came to their senses, that person was no longer able to leave the Boundless Palace."

"The space is hidden, we only need to quietly wait for the ending, guard the inheritance, and the Jade Sun Temple will be rebuilt."

As the words fell, the clamor subsided, and the cultivators fell silent.

After a long, long time, a slightly excited voice broke the silence:
"What Daozi said is correct. That person is powerful and talented, but he is not invincible. The Boundless Palace has been passed down for thousands of years and has its own true foundation, which can suppress everything."

"Yes, we just need to wait."

"Once that person dies, we will immediately annihilate Immortal Soldier Valley to avenge this blood feud."

tower!
The footsteps were crisp and clear, instantly drowning out all the noise.

All the cultivators' gazes unconsciously turned to a certain empty space.

Ta-ta-ta~
The footsteps grew clearer, as if an unknown entity was approaching the space.

At that moment, regardless of strength, everyone's heart pounded with the sound of footsteps, their breathing became much softer, and their faces turned pale.

tower!
Another set of footsteps sounded, and a blood-stained red figure emerged from the empty space.

The figure carried a bronze halberd on his back, a long, white ruler at his waist, his face stained with blood, and his double pupils looking down.

Bang bang bang~
One by one, the cultivators collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the blood-red shadow, speechless and bewildered.

He was full of schemes and plots, and his heart was filled with hatred, but when he actually faced that person, all he felt was despair from the bottom of his heart.

"Zhang Yuanzhu!"

Yu Yang Daozi's composed expression faded, his pupils contracted, and he uttered a low, lamenting murmur.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained expressionless as he slowly raised his blood-stained hand.

It’s getting dark!
An indescribably enormous hand, woven with azure light, appeared in the sky, its five fingers like towering divine mountains, pointing downwards.

"The path of reincarnation is near, yet I still manage to meet old friends!"

Press your arms down.

Boom~
The heavens and earth trembled, mountains collapsed, vegetation turned to ash, and cultivators turned into blood and mud.

As the palm covered the earth, the wails fell silent.

He raised his arm, and the sky-covering palm dissipated, revealing a deep pit stretching for thousands of miles.

With a gentle wave of his hand.

Streaks of light rose from the pit and converged toward the palm.

Storage bags, jade slips, precious medicines, scriptures—everything imaginable is there.

It can only be said that he is indeed a genius and pride who will rebuild the Jade Sun Temple in the future. Although his strength is not strong, his net worth is extremely rich. Even he was tempted by some of the spiritual items.

However, it's not the right time yet.

With a flick of his sleeve, he collected all the various magical objects.

Zhang Yuanzhu took a step into space, and his aura began to...
rising!
Climbing higher and higher!!!
It seemed to have no limits, stirring up the energy of thousands of miles, powerful and explosive.

Stomp your feet lightly.

The earth cracked inch by inch, and then he transformed into a rainbow of light, traversing the sky and speeding westward.

Without any attempt to conceal himself, he headed towards the demon land.

Such a commotion naturally attracted many gazes, all fixed on the crimson shadow that continued its westward journey.

Millions of miles later, Zhang Yuanzhu blurred his own cause and effect, concealed his aura, and concealed his prying eyes.

Then, he took out a Foundation Establishment Refining Corpse from his storage bag.

He stretched out his hand, took out a piece of white paper stained with purple-gold blood from his bosom, and pasted it onto the corpse.

In an instant, the white paper shattered, turning into ashes that covered the refined corpse, transforming it into the likeness of Zhang Yuanzhu.

"The Paper Doll Daoist Secret Technique is indeed bizarre!"

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the corpse, and array patterns spread across the body before disappearing.

Then, he took out several talismans from his bosom and placed them under the robes of the corpse refiner.

Immediately, his [characteristic] surged from the depths of his mind, and his figure vanished, heading towards the Jade Sun Temple.

The corpse-refining creature landed on the ground with an indifferent expression and strode towards the demon land, attracting the attention of all living beings.

Wuliang Palace, surrounding the ruins of Yuyang Temple.

At the summit of the mountain, a blood-red shadow appeared and descended.

Zhang Yuanzhu surveyed his surroundings, and array plates flew out from his bosom, landing on the four sides of the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, patterns appeared, intertwining and connecting to form a concealment array.

Immediately, the young man sat cross-legged, his pupils radiating a blue light, and a rich vitality filled his body.

At the same time, the Yi Wood Resurrection Technique began to operate, and a faint red light emerged from the flesh and blood.

Bones reappeared, flesh began to move, and skin covered his body; his injuries began to heal at a visible speed.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had already recovered to his peak condition.

The next step is to take stock of the gains and losses in this battle.

As he pondered, streaks of light flew out of his storage bag and hovered in front of him.

There was bright red blood and stark white bone fragments, exuding a terrifying killing intent; just by hovering, the space was stirred up in ripples. There were piles of scriptures and jade slips; and various kinds of spiritual herbs and precious medicines were displayed.

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze first lingered on the blood and bones, sensing the intertwined principles and reasoning, as well as the resentment and hatred within them.

Golden Elixir Blood and White Bones are undoubtedly extremely precious items, the fruits of the duel with Jade Yang True Lord.

Then, he turned his gaze to the piles of jade slips and jade books.

He reached out and picked up a jade slip, then began to read it.

He quickly put away the jade slip in his hand and picked up another one to look at.

As time passed, all the scriptures, practices, and spells were reviewed.
Whether it records cultivation techniques or spells, it is extremely valuable to ordinary cultivators, but unfortunately, given his current level, it is not particularly outstanding.

Therefore, most of the jade slips and jade books were put into storage bags, intended to be the foundation of the Zhuoyang Daoist lineage.

In an instant, only two jade slips remained on the ground.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand, gently grasped a worn jade slip, carefully flipped through it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Jade Elixir Rejuvenating Light" is a healing technique that can restore the soul and repair the origin of the body.

It perfectly matches the combination spell – Yin Yang Realm, and you can try cultivating it.

As for the last jade slip, it records the fundamental cultivation method of the Jade Sun Temple—the "Sacred Sun Jade Heart Manual".

The cultivation method involving the Golden Core realm is far more profound than the Golden Light Sect's methods, and it is beyond his current comprehension and cultivation.

With a flick of his sleeve, he put away the two jade slips.

He looked at the last elixir, and the nineteen-story glazed pagoda in his mind trembled slightly. His spiritual sense flowed out and swept over the various elixir.

All the medicinal herbs that were useless to him were put away, and soon only three wooden boxes remained, which were placed on the ground.

A light flick of the fingertips.

Click~
All the wooden boxes were opened.

Rays of light burst forth, and a rich medicinal fragrance, accompanied by a chilling aura, arose within the formation.

The purple medicinal fruit, the jet-black flowers, and the wooden stump shrouded in dark mist are all precious medicines containing yin attributes, which can be better paired with the Du family's divine wood to enhance cultivation.

He stretched out his palm and stroked each of the precious herbs one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, he put the three precious herbs away and placed them in his bosom.

This was part of the gains from this battle, enough to greatly improve his cultivation.

Moreover, the greatest gain from the Battle of Yuyang Temple was...
Spell!

In the life-and-death struggle, Wan Sen's Extinction Finger technique was completely perfected, reaching a point where there was no further progress.

In other words, once the newly acquired "Jade Elixir Rejuvenation Light" is fully cultivated, the Yin-Yang Mirror will be completely perfected.

Of course, there were also losses during the battle. The mid-grade evil weapon, the Willow Wood Cauldron, was smashed to pieces in the fighting.

However, compared to the gains, it's nothing.

Then, Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze fell solely on the golden core's blood and bones, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Instead of going to the Temple of a Thousand Calamities, he hid here, waiting for that True Lord to find an opportunity to ambush him.

If combat strength can be improved, one will naturally be more at ease.

Without further hesitation, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the blood and bones.

A surge of spiritual awareness erupted from his mind, overwhelming and eradicating the murderous intent, resentment, and hatred within.

Zizzi~
Blood boils, bones tremble, and the Way and reason are revealed in this.

Time passed second by second, roughly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, until the murderous intent in the blood and bones, and all negative emotions were completely extinguished.

Immediately, his hand fell, placing the blood and bones on the abdomen.

Strands of crimson light bloomed, transforming into wisps of mist that disappeared into the dantian.

Within his dantian, the nine-layered spiritual platform trembled slightly, absorbing the blood mist to increase his magical power.

The black and white aura surged, and I sensed the intertwined principles and truths within it, which spread downwards along my spiritual platform.

His cultivation began to improve rapidly, and more and more of his spiritual platform was covered by baleful energy.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Snap! Bang!

Bones shattered and scattered, blood dried up.

As Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the magical power and malevolent energy within his dantian, his smile deepened.

This campaign, bathing him in the blood of the Golden Core, and now refining his bones and blood, absorbing the Dao and principles within, has greatly increased his cultivation.

Looking inward into the depths of one's soul, the mirror formed by the interwoven divine light of blue, red, indigo, and violet has already undergone some changes.

Realm: Third Step of Condensing Qi (39% complete)
It should be noted that he had only been away from breaking through in the Immortal Soldier Valley for a little over three months, yet he had already reached this level of cultivation.

He is about to complete half of the third step of the Condensing Evil Realm. Compared with the past, his cultivation speed has not slowed down, but rather accelerated.

"If I reach the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, how many people can be my match? I am very much looking forward to it."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

My mind was in turmoil, with a thousand or even ten thousand thoughts surfacing, before finally settling into silence.

He placed his arms flat on his knees and began to regulate his breathing, trying to get himself into the best possible condition to deal with the possible ambush.
