Dao Qi Wu Zang Guan Guan: I became a Daoist Master in the 1990s

Chapter 34 The Black Laws and Edicts of Beiyin Fengdu!
The scorching earth and fire energy, which had been accumulating to its limit, finally found an outlet!
Like a bursting dam, it surged into the newly opened lung cavity!
The burning and tearing sensation in my lungs suddenly disappeared!
An unprecedented, cool aura, with a metallic sharpness, surged out from the newly opened "portal" in an instant!

Like ten thousand golden needles piercing through the fog, it quickly flowed throughout the body!
Each breath became incredibly deep and smooth, as if the inhaled air carried a sharp, piercing energy, cleansing away the remaining scorching heat and turbidity in the body!
The raging Crimson Hunting Fire seemed to have found a more stable foundation. Although it was still blazing, it no longer raged and beat steadily.

However, the newly born sharp metal energy mixed with the powerful earth energy and the remaining power of the heart fire was only consumed by less than half!
The power remains immense!

Qi Yunfu was inspired and continued his fist strikes without stopping, drawing upon the mixed and powerful airflow, which surged towards the kidneys along the chain of mutual generation of the five elements!
"Water nourishes all things! Open the kidney orifices!"

The will was like a hammer, striking hard deep into the kidneys!

boom! boom!
The area around the kidneys is like two dormant stars that have been instantly illuminated!
There was no sharp roar like when the lungs open, but two deep, muffled sounds like the pulse of the earth or the undercurrent of the deep sea!

A warm, cool stream, like the thawing of a spring stream or the water of a deep pool that embraces all things, suddenly gushed forth from the depths of my kidneys!

This cool and gentle water-based energy instantly flowed throughout my body!

The kidneys, which had been scorched by the fire in my heart like parched land, were like parched land receiving sweet rain. The feeling of dryness was swept away, and an indescribable comfort and nourishment came over me!
The soreness and weakness in my lower back and knees disappeared instantly, and a surge of power rose from deep within my spine!

At the same time, this refreshing feeling rushed straight to my mind, like a sudden awakening!

hum!
Qi Yun felt a very faint buzzing in his ears, and then the sounds of the world suddenly became many times clearer!
The rustling of withered leaves in the distance and the gurgling of my own blood flowing through my veins were clearly audible!

The world before my eyes suddenly brightened!
It's not that the light is enhanced, but that the view becomes incredibly clear and sharp!
Under the dim light of the flashlight, the edges of every grain of sand on the muddy ground and the veins of every leaf in the distant forest were clearly visible!

My mind was clear and calm like never before, as if all the fog had been washed away, and my thoughts were running like lightning!

Open the lung orifices and kidney orifices!

Strength, perception, and thinking have all reached a new peak!

However, despite this breakthrough being enough to make any cultivator ecstatic, Qi Yun still frowned.

He slowly withdrew from his stance, exhaling a long, hot breath that condensed into a brief streak of white smoke in the cold air.

He looked down at the two cold corpses on the ground.

Liu Wen's final, distorted expression as he wept remained frozen, while Zhang Qiang's eerie, stiff smile faded, leaving only a deathly, bewildered look.

"Is this what happens when an ordinary person accidentally wanders into a ghost realm?"

A cold voice broke the deathly silence, tinged with profound helplessness, "Even though I've given it my all..."

He silently walked over and carried Liu Wen and Zhang Qiang's bodies side by side to a slightly drier embankment by the roadside.

He crouched down, stretched out his hands, and grasped the two people's cold, stiff hands in his.

With the unprecedented clarity of his mind after the breakthrough, every syllable and every turn of the scripture that the old Taoist Xuanjizi had recited appeared in his mind with unparalleled clarity.

Qi Yun closed his eyes, and a deep, clear chanting voice slowly rose in this eerie ghost realm where his companions were buried, carrying a strange penetrating power, attempting to soothe the departed or lingering souls:

"In the vast Fengdu, there are towering mountains of Vajra."

The boundless light of Lingbao illuminates the veil of the raging pool.

The spirits of the seven ancestors, their bodies carried by the fragrant banners.

"May the lotus of wisdom and tranquility bring eternal peace to those reborn in the heavens."

After reciting the prayer, he bowed deeply to the two corpses.

Having offered this only possible consolation, Qi Yun took a deep breath, picked up the heavy snakeskin bag from the ground, and hoisted it onto his shoulder. The bag felt as light as a feather. He glanced at his companion one last time, resolutely turned around, and strode forward, continuing into the unfathomable darkness ahead.

Every step I took through the mud was steady and powerful.

Not far ahead, the road suddenly split in two, two almost identical muddy paths, like the forks of a ghostly realm, extending into the unknown, dark depths.

Qi Yun stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed.

In this eerie place, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.

Just as they were hesitating...

An indescribable surge of emotion suddenly seized his mind!
It wasn't danger! It was... a strange, faintly warm sense of calling!

He suddenly turned around!
The dim beam of the flashlight swept across the empty road and muddy embankment behind me.

Two extremely faint, almost transparent phantoms slowly coalesced and emerged.

It was Liu Wen and Zhang Qiang!
The fear, pain, and contortion on their faces had vanished, replaced by a sense of peace, even a faint, relieved smile.

Their figures were ethereal, as if composed of the faintest moonlight, appearing so fragile yet so clear in the absolute darkness.

Liu Wen's phantom raised a semi-transparent arm and pointed to the fork in the road on the left.

Zhang Qiang's illusory figure also smiled and pointed in the same direction.

There were no words, only silent guidance and farewell.

Just as the two illusory figures raised their hands.

hum!
Deep within Qi Yun's brow, the mysterious jade slip that had been dormant for so long suddenly trembled violently without warning!
A hazy, warm, yet majestic golden light suddenly burst forth from between his brows!

The golden light was not dazzling, but it carried a great power that pierced through illusion and opened up chaos!

It shot precisely into the darkness of the ghostly realm on one side!

The impenetrable darkness ahead, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, was actually torn apart by this golden light!
Wherever the golden light passed, the darkness receded rapidly like a tide!
A road, about ten feet wide, suddenly appeared!

On both sides of the road, there was an endless, rolling, thick darkness that was being pushed back by the golden light!
The road exuded a warm and peaceful aura, completely out of place in this ghostly and desolate place.

As the golden light burst forth, the smiles on Liu Wen and Zhang Qiang's faces seemed to become even more serene and content.

They set out on that road and continued to venture deeper and deeper.

The road then vanished rapidly, and the ghost realm returned to normal!

At this moment, on the ancient and warm jade surface of the jade slip, the area of ​​the second jade slip, which was originally chaotic and blurry, suddenly lit up!

A point of crimson-gold light ignited like a star!

Immediately afterwards, the crimson-gold light flowed and outlined, transforming into two extremely ancient, vigorous, and seemingly profound seal script characters, clearly imprinted on the jade slip, radiating a majestic and chilling light.

The Black Laws and Edicts of Fengdu, the Northern Underworld!
As the golden light faded, the words instantly turned into dark ink. Then the jade slip closed up, transforming into a warm, flowing light that disappeared back into the depths of Qi Yun's brow, returning to silence.
