There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 105 The End [Third Update]

"The Sun Wheel Sect led us into the main hall with the intention of trapping us like turtles in a jar, but you found the opportunity to cause a ruckus in the center, shaking the very foundation of the Sun Wheel Sect. After this battle, this sect will surely decline and perish."

Fairy Huanyun stood atop the Buddha's palm, gazing down, her voice tinged with hatred: "But letting them perish slowly is too good for them! We must take revenge!"

"That's what senior sister said."

Click.

A faint cracking sound emanated from the center of the Buddha's brow, a symbol of magnificence and solemnity.

Immediately afterwards, cracks spread like a spider web, covering the entire ten-zhang-tall Buddha body!
wow-

The golden body crumbled, and the shimmering light scattered, revealing Chen Qing standing on a lotus.

His expression remained unchanged, his breath was calm and collected. He nodded slightly to Huanyun, and the lotus platform beneath his feet shimmered with clear light, supporting him as he slowly descended, landing in the still-warm core of the ruins.

In the center of the ruins, the newly awakened True Man sat cross-legged in silence. His crimson-gold Daoist robe was now tattered and bloodstained, his body charred and his skin torn open. A deep, primal aura of decay and decay seeped from his body, like a towering tree whose roots had been hollowed out, about to collapse.

The foundation has crumbled, and the basis of the Way has crumbled!
He struggled to lift his head, the murky golden flames flickering in his eyes, as he stared intently at Chen Qing who was approaching.

"He is indeed a Golden Core cultivator; he still retains his dignity even now." Chen Qing stopped a few feet away and sighed sincerely. He naturally thought of those cultivators deep in the Xuanyu Prison, who had been suppressed for thousands of years but whose names were still hard to erase.

The newly awakened master gave a bitter laugh, as if utterly resigned to his fate: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. If you want to kill, then..."

Before he finished speaking, a single, intensely concentrated white flame suddenly shot out from the depths of his eyes!
Swifter than lightning, silent and stealthy, it aimed straight for Chen Qing's brow!
hum!
A golden light suddenly surged from the point in Chen Qing's dantian!

A sculpted and realistic golden statue enveloped him, its light radiating, solemn and majestic!

"laugh--"

The blazing white flame struck the golden statue's forehead, producing a sizzling sound like a branding iron being plunged into water!
The golden light flickered, ripples spread, the flame tried to erode it, but it was ultimately held back and finally went out unwillingly!
"What!" The newly awakened True Man's eyes were filled with utter shock and disbelief. "There are still more?! You... how did you manage to do that? How could such external forces accumulate so continuously?! This is simply..."

He truly couldn't understand how a Yin Spirit cultivator could wield such terrifying external supernatural powers as casually as breathing.

"Daoist Chuxing, you have suppressed the souls of my disciples. You are utterly wicked and insane. Do you still want to die knowing the truth?"

Chen Qing sneered, raised his right hand, and a circle of Nirvana Dharma Wheel condensed in his palm, glowing with gray light, slowly rotating and emitting a heart-palpitating hum.

He clenched his fist as if holding a saw handle, and then fiercely "sawed" the Falun off the crown of the head of the newly awakened True Man!

"Madman!" The newly awakened True Immortal's pupils constricted, but then he burst into hysterical laughter, "Hahaha! You want to use me as a sacrifice? Dream on! Let's die together! Golden Core, explode—"

"Boom!!!"

Inside his lower abdomen, the golden core, which was covered with cracks and had dimmed light, suddenly burst out with dazzling crimson-gold light!
The destructive, violent energy was ignited, compressed to its limit, and was about to explode in front of Chen Qing!

Its power is enough to completely flatten an area within a hundred feet!
"Jiming!" Fairy Huanyun had already landed. Upon seeing this, she immediately stepped forward to block Chen Qing. At the same time, she waved her hand, and a beam of moonlight shot out to push away Daoist Chuxing.

"Senior sister, don't panic." Chen Qingming had clearly anticipated this. Facing the destructive core that was close at hand and about to erupt, her hand seals changed rapidly!
"town!"

Three golden rays shot out from his dantian like lightning, not to protect himself, but to transform into three thick and solid golden bodies, layer upon layer, like a cage, tightly enveloping the laughing newly awakened True Man and the golden core that was about to explode!
"You?!" The laughter of the newly awakened master came to an abrupt halt. His face, now submerged in golden light, was filled with boundless astonishment and shock!
He never expected that the other party would use this protective divine power to imprison him, the source of the self-destruction!
"Li Qing!!!"

The final roar of the newly awakened immortal was filled with endless resentment and bitterness, piercing through the golden body and echoing throughout the ruins.

"boom!!!!"

An extremely dull, deafening roar erupted inside the golden cage!
The three-layered golden body trembled violently, the golden light flickering like a tide, and countless cracks instantly covered its surface, as if it would collapse at any moment!
The terrifying impact was repeatedly agitated and compressed within the confined space!
Finally, the golden light collapsed inward, then expanded again before dimming.

Only a single, shattered, and dull-colored crimson-gold pill remained, suspended in mid-air, forcibly held together by the golden protective shield.

The newly awakened immortal had vanished without a trace, his body and spirit utterly destroyed!

Right now!

Without turning his head, Chen Qing suddenly swept the Silent Dharma Wheel in his hand, which had been poised to be unleashed, horizontally towards a certain spot!

"What ruthless methods! What a heartless nature!" A cold voice rang out from behind Chen Qing.

Whoosh!
Master Xuan Gui flicked his sleeves slightly, deflecting the attack. He watched with a complex expression as the Dharma wheel flew back to Chen Qing's head, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"Your birth parents are now both in the Taiyi Dao Palace." After a long while, his voice returned to its indifferent tone. "Blood ties are the natural order of things. Come back with me, and your family will be reunited. You can use the resources of the Dao Palace at will, and your future will be limitless. Why struggle in this quagmire and keep company with the withered bones in the tomb?"

Chen Qing replied crisply, "If I go back with you, my life and death will be in your hands. They are the real birds in cages and meat on the chopping block."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible shackle seemed to break down from the depths of his soul. His Yin spirit suddenly felt lighter and became more refined and clear, like a pearl that had been cleansed of dust. His divine sense perception suddenly became several times clearer!
An even more powerful force was brewing deep within the Yin God.

"Bearing burdens and tempering form!" Master Xuan Gui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly understood, his face showing surprise for the first time. "You almost destroyed the Sun Wheel Sect and slaughtered its Golden Core cultivators, all to sever your own karma and temper your Yin Spirit?!"

He couldn't believe that someone would dare to destroy an entire sect just to advance their own path!
"That's not how it should be, but since this sect suppresses the Hidden Star, it is my mortal enemy." Chen Qing felt the transformation of his Yin Spirit and spoke calmly. He then asked, "The Sun Wheel Sect's foundation is so shallow, yet it acts so arrogantly. Could it be that there is someone above the Golden Core level in the sect?"

Master Xuan Gui suppressed his emotions and snorted coldly: "A mere lower sect, with limited status, how could it possibly support a higher realm? Otherwise, why would they scheme against the Hidden Star Sect?"

"I see," Chen Qing said, having already understood. "Without nuclear weapons, yet relying on backing, they repeatedly defy major powers. There's really nothing new in this world."

Master Xuan Gui frowned, having lost patience for further discussion, and said, "I came here without much thought, merely following my master's orders. But after witnessing this battle, I understand why they persist. Since you are unwilling to leave..."

He raised his hands, and his aura suddenly became ethereal and uncertain.

The sky suddenly darkened, and thick, leaden clouds gathered out of nowhere. But just then...

"Boom!!!"

A deafening thunderclap ripped through the sky!

A massive, crimson pillar of fire, as thick as a mountain, carrying a violent aura capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, pierced through the thick, leaden clouds!

Crimson flames cascaded down like a waterfall, turning half the sky red!
"Hahaha! Old man Xuan Gui! You dare to touch anyone from my Hidden Star Sect? Did you even ask me first?!" Lie Yangzi's signature wild and unrestrained roar exploded like rolling thunder!
Immediately following behind, Daoist Shouzhuo arrived on a cloud: "Fellow Daoist Xuangui, bullying the weak is going too far. If a Golden Core cultivator makes a move, we naturally won't need to hold back."

Almost simultaneously, a chilling cold that seemed to freeze everything spread out, and thick frost quickly condensed on the ruins.

With a blank expression, Master Hanjing took a step forward, his gaze as cold as ice, and swept it towards Master Xuangui: "Fellow Daoist, please return."

Crimson flames scorch the heavens, clear light establishes the law, and icy ice seals the domain!

A powerful pressure, like three divine mountains, pressed down on True Person Xuan Gui!

Master Xuan Gui's face was ashen!

Then, another pressure descended, as Fairy Huanyun approached.

Master Xuan Gui's gaze swept over the slowly rotating Dharma wheel hanging behind Chen Qing's head, and then over Shou Zhuo, Lie Yang, Han Jing, and Huan Yun.

"Excellent! Excellent Hidden Star Sect! I will remember your kindness today! There will be many more opportunities in the future!"

The space around him rippled like water, but he still looked at Chen Qing and said coldly, "Don't think that you can rest easy just because someone is protecting you. In this world, there is competition everywhere. Your actions on Sunwheel Island will bring you trouble in the future!"

"Whatever trouble he may have, we will protect him!" Shouzhuo Daoist took a step forward and arrived in front of Xuangui Zhenren. He raised his hand and pointed, and a point of primordial energy burst forth like light!

Master Xuan Gui let out a muffled groan, his eyes widening in surprise. His entire being seemed to fade and disappear like ink dropped into water, leaving only a spreading ripple and a single word—

"I see. You're also nearing the critical point. According to the rules, someone from the Hidden Star Sect must leave the mountain and head to Jade Capital..."

With the formidable enemy gone, the pressure on the ruins eased dramatically.

Chen Qing remained expressionless, his five fingers outstretched as if to grab from afar!
"call out--"

The crimson-gold pill, forcibly bound together by the three golden bodies, fell into his palm. The pill was warm to the touch, carrying an aura of annihilation and death, and trembled slightly, as if unwilling.

He casually slipped it into his sleeve, the movement flowing smoothly.

"That was exhilarating! That was exhilarating! Hahahaha!" Lieyangzi landed with a thud on the scorched earth, sending rubble flying everywhere!
He slapped Chen Qing's shoulder heavily with his large, fan-like hand, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and pleasure: "Junior Brother Jiming! Excellent skills! Truly excellent skills! That old dog Chu Xing has roamed the East Sea for hundreds of years, yet he has fallen into your hands! That's decisive and ruthless! Exhilarating! Even more exhilarating than if I did it myself!"

The Taoist Shouzhuo descended gracefully, his green robes still intact. He sighed, "Junior Brother Jiming, at the Yin Spirit Realm, used such thunderous methods to sever the Golden Core and destroy the Evil Tower as preparation for 'Inheriting Burdens and Tempering Form.' Such spirit is truly breathtaking! However, this sect still has two Golden Core cultivators, and their Daoist practice is not on this island. If..."

"If what?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fairy Huanyun's voice, which was filled with hatred.

"Senior Brother Shouzhuo! Do you know what that old dog, who just woke up, did?"

Fairy Huanyun's pretty face was filled with malice as she pointed at a pile of rubble and ruins, saying hatefully, "That old beast Chu Xing used the remnants of my fallen comrades' souls and limbs as a catalyst! He mixed them with the Dingyuan Mountain stones to forge the Evil Tower! It was specifically designed to lock the fortune of my sect and suppress the souls of my disciples! Such behavior is worse than that of a beast! He should be torn to pieces and his souls should be eternally imprisoned in the Nine Netherworlds!"

"what?!"

The Taoist Shouzhuo's pupils suddenly shrank to needle size!

Lieyangzi was enraged, and his body erupted in crimson flames with a loud "boom": "Damn the Sun Wheel Sect! I'll burn this island down! I'll slaughter all these beasts who are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Crimson flames shot into the sky, threatening to transform into a sea of ​​fire that would incinerate the world!
"Lieyang! Stop!" Shouzhuo Daoist shouted, his voice carrying the power to calm the mind and suppress the soul. He placed a hand on Lieyangzi's shoulder with lightning speed, suppressing his violent aura by half!
"Have you forgotten the ironclad rules of the Dao Alliance? If a Golden Core cultivator makes a move to slaughter fellow cultivators, it would be handing the Taiyi Dao Palace a weapon! Do you want the entire Hidden Star Sect to be buried with these ants on the island?!" he warned.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?!" Lieyangzi's eyes were bloodshot, as if he were about to spit fire, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "What the hell is the purpose of this damn law? If it's so inconvenient, why was it signed in the first place?!"

“Of course it doesn’t count.” Shouzhuo Daoist’s voice turned cold, but his gaze drifted to Chen Qing beside him. “The Golden Core is restricted and cannot be moved rashly. Moreover, after the great battle, we cannot recklessly start a killing spree. However, if the inheritance is cut off and the foundation of the sect is destroyed, it is the cycle of heaven and retribution will not be wrong.”

He changed the subject and said to Chen Qingwen, "Junior Brother Jiming, I have heard that you are searching for a method to divide the mind into thoughts and cultivate the spirit outside the body?"

Chen Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, saying, "That is indeed the intention."

The Taoist Shouzhuo raised his hand and pointed to the highest mountain in the center of the island.

"The foundation of the Sun Wheel Sect, the 'Crimson Sun Cave Heaven,' is located atop Crimson Flame Peak. It is the place where its ancestors secluded themselves to pass on their secret techniques. If I am not mistaken, the complete 'Cloning Body Zen' must be found deep within that cave. This is a closely guarded secret of the Sun Wheel Sect, using Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams to differentiate the soul and nurture the spirit outside the body. It is extremely profound. Junior brother, you might as well go and retrieve it, and while you're at it, burn this poisonous cave to the ground."

He paused, then added, "This matter was ordered by my current sect leader, and the sect's true disciple, Ji Ming, was merely acting on orders."

"Red Sun Grotto?" Lieyangzi was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "Hahaha! Brilliant! Shouzhuo, you scholars are truly amazing, full of wicked schemes! Confiscating their property and exterminating their families, cutting off their lineage! That's even more ruthless than killing all those lackeys! It's a strategy of cutting off their lifeline, a plan to wipe them out! Moreover..."

He looked at Chen Qing and grinned, "Junior Brother Jiming isn't a Golden Core cultivator! He's not bound by those damned Dao Alliance rules! He was tricked by the Sun Wheel Sect, so it's only right that he defeats them! Who dares to say a word against it? I'll be the first to burn him down!"

Chen Qing followed Shou Zhuo's direction and looked toward that mountain peak.

"The Crimson Sun Grotto-Heaven? Good."

Just as he was thinking this, he was about to take a step forward when he suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the Azure Lotus Platform. He saw that the lotus flower in the center was in bloom, revealing a rune that shone with golden light!
The sound of chanting filled the air, and all around was silent!
Chen Qing felt his mind become much clearer, and many things that were unclear about his cultivation suddenly became clear!
It seems that my comprehension has reached a new level!
　Although it's already a flop, I still want to give it a shot. I said I'd add one extra chapter for every 1,000 first-orders, but I only reached that today. Still, I'll add an extra chapter and try to finish it before midnight...
