Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 12 Nine Yang Divine Talisman
Guan Minghui carefully gathered the eighteen Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banners near the stone bed, forming two small Xuan Yin arrays to protect himself.

He sat cross-legged, holding the ancient warm jade in his hands, and began his cultivation.

Yang Li was hanging upside down from the cave ceiling, watching as wisps of black smoke enveloped the stone bed. After rolling around, the black smoke gradually dissipated.

The Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner was gone, and even the stone bed and the Guan Minghui on it had disappeared, leaving only an empty space.

Yang Li was secretly amazed by the power of the demon corpse. Guan Minghui had never been so careful in his cultivation these past few days.

It is evident that this cultivation was extremely important for the demon corpse, and that the demon corpse was more vulnerable than usual during the cultivation process.

Now is the best time to get out of this predicament! It might also be the last chance.

Once the demon corpse has cultivated the Profound Yin Cold Flame Inner Core and completely destroyed the Fire Cloud Chain left behind by the Long-Browed True Man, it can leave this place and roam freely.

After he escapes, he will definitely kill himself first, and then go out to indiscriminately kill innocent people and endanger the common people!
Yang Li closed his eyes and silently began to circulate the Profound Yin Soul Refining Technique.

Guan Minghui once asked Yang Li to refine black silk for him, but Yang Li refused no matter what. He closed his eyes and started chattering away, saying he would kill or dismember Yang Li at will.

In the end, Guan Minghui had no choice but to stop pressuring him.

However, Yang Li still learned some principles about the refining of black chakra silk, the foundation of which was the Profound Yin Soul Refining Technique and the Taiyin Form Refining Technique.

Now that he is a demon corpse, refining black elixir silk will be twice as effective.

He mobilized his profound Yin energy and mixed it with the essence of Taiyin blood to digest and absorb the black veil tightly binding his body.

The black silk used by Guan Minghui to bind him had three turns, two turns, and one turn.

The black wisps that spun around were the first to dissolve, turning into wisps of black energy that he absorbed into his body through his pores and into his dantian.

Next comes the second job advancement, and finally the third job advancement...

In less than half a day, all the black silk threads that bound him like a silkworm cocoon were absorbed into his body, forming a mass of mysterious yin black evil energy in his dantian.

Freed from its restraints, Yang Li flipped over and landed lightly on the ground.

Looking at the empty space where the stone bed used to be, he dared not go to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits anymore.

Through these days of interaction, he realized that this demonic corpse's evil magic was unfathomable and beyond his ability to deal with. He could only return to find his master as soon as possible.

When the time comes, Master will gather his fellow practitioners. I estimate that at least three or four experts of Master's level will be needed to completely eliminate this vicious demon corpse!
Yang Li walked around the stone bed and went to the wall next to it to pull out his flying sword.

He used his flying sword, Guan Minghui, to trim his hair and nails, and after he finished, he casually stuck it into the stone wall next to him.

Yang Li was quite indignant that the demon corpse seemed to look down on his immortal sword: When I return with my master to fight again, I will definitely use this sword to cut off your head!

He silently uttered a harsh word in his heart, picked up his sword, and walked out.

Originally, the Xuan Yin Formation covered the entire cave, and two beast-gathering banners were specially used to seal the entrance.

This time, Guan Minghui reduced the range of the formation and used it entirely to protect the area around the stone bed. With the cave entrance no longer sealed, it was revealed.

Yang Li easily left the cave and returned to the immortal's cave above.

It was night outside. Pushing open the stone door of the cave, the outside was shrouded in darkness, with a sky full of stars.

Bathed in moonlight, he suddenly felt incredibly refreshed. It was as if countless spirits were cheering and leaping within his Yin essence, as if they wanted to carry him away from the inside out, as if they wanted to fly directly to the moon palace.

"Alas!" Yang Li sighed, lamenting that he too had become a demon corpse. After returning, he would have to undergo physical transformation and reincarnate. He also thought that once the demon corpse was fully cultivated, it would be born to harm people.

He is currently unable to control his sword, and most of the immortal techniques he has learned are unusable. He can still use the Earth Escape Technique with his Profound Yin True Qi, but it is too slow. By the time he returns to the South Sea, the demon corpse will likely have already emerged.

He hesitated, recalling what Guan Minghui had once said:

"The old man with long eyebrows specially chose this perilous place for me. He used the Earth's Lung to blow away ten thousand things, using the Heavenly Gang during the day and the Earthly Fiend at night, to constantly hone my form and spirit, trying to make my soul fly away and my spirit scatter."

I placed the Nine Yin Divine Talisman within the Earth's core, and then used the Nine Yang Divine Talisman on it to filter and tame the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends. Not only could they not harm me, but they could also be used to my advantage, helping me to forge the Divine Banner!

The demon corpse's statement was probably not a lie, after all, Yang Li personally witnessed Guan Minghui extracting black evil spirits from the earth wind to condense black evil threads, and even explained the refining principle to him.

"The Nine Yin Divine Talisman is in the Earth's core, its location unknown. Since the Nine Yang Divine Talisman is placed on the cliff top, if it can be destroyed, the Nine Heavens Gale Wind can continue to destroy his physical body and primordial spirit."

If we can cause him to fail in condensing his inner core and suffer severe damage to his vital energy, that would be best. At least it will slow down his alchemy process. Go to the South Sea and find my master to ask for reinforcements and buy him some time!

Upon thinking of this, Yang Li was shaken to his core. He turned around and entered the Immortal Abode again, returning to the passage.

He reasoned that during the day, the strong winds crashed down from the cliff top, and at this time, the yin winds from the earth's core blew out from underground. They all followed the same wind path, so he continued to rise along the direction the yin winds were blowing.

Soon, he arrived at a place not far from the top of the cliff, where the wind tunnel branched into nine paths.

Right where the forks in the road meet, there is a glittering jade talisman.

The jade talisman is over a foot long, and appears to have been carved from a single piece of jade and then inlaid into the stone wall.

He saw that the talisman was emitting bursts of intense heat in the darkness, and he could feel the heat wave hitting his face even when he was more than two zhang away.

Overjoyed, he thought: This must be the Nine Yang Divine Talisman!
He raised his sword and slashed fiercely at the jade talisman.

When the jade talisman was attacked, it automatically emitted light and clanged, sending his sword flying backward.

The demon corpse is indeed powerful!

Yang Li picked up the sword, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to keep slashing at the jade talisman.

Firstly, it was midnight, when the yin energy was at its peak, and a large amount of earth-evil black energy coming out of the earth's core continued to blow over, suppressing the energy of the jade talisman.

Both of Yang Li's swords were originally left behind by an ancient immortal, and were further refined by Guan Minghui using the Xuan Yin Great Technique and ten-thousand-year-old warm jade.

The talisman's greatest function is to suppress evil spirits, but its physical form is very fragile.

After Yang Li transformed into a demon corpse, his body possessed immense strength. He slashed dozens of times, finally breaking through the precious light on the surface of the jade talisman, and the sword blade struck the jade talisman itself.

"Crack!" The jade talisman split open.

Yang Li then slashed several more times with his sword, completely shattering the jade talisman into pieces.

At the same time, Guan Minghui opened his eyes on the stone bed in the underground cave and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, Yang Li is such a cutie..."

He didn't want to laugh, because getting carried away is bad, especially when an evil BOSS laughs smugly; he'll usually be killed by the protagonist's group in the blink of an eye.

But he couldn't help it, he really couldn't help it, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire cave.

The Taiqing Divine Talisman that the old man with long eyebrows left behind to suppress me was ruined by that self-righteous little cutie!
