Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 42 Nine-Turn Elixir Completed
The Heavenly Lust Cult Leader initially used black silk, a material known to many unorthodox practitioners, to weave and refine the Mysterious Yin Gathering Beast Banner. He then combined the nine banners into a set, creating the Mysterious Yin Gathering Beast Array, also known as the Lesser Mysterious Yin Array.

Later, the three small formations were combined into one, becoming the Profound Yin Soul Refining Formation.

Finally, the three Soul Refining Arrays were combined into a single Profound Yin Soul Refining Array, known as the Great Profound Yin Array. Its power reached its peak, making it invincible throughout the world, and even immortals and Buddhas could not subdue it.

Chinese numerology originates from three styles: Taiyi, Liuren, and Qimen. Going further back, we reach the Hetu and Luoshu. Before the Hetu and Luoshu, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements were established by Nuwa and Fuxi through observing the heavens and measuring the earth.

The leader of the Heavenly Lust Cult was well-versed in Buddhism, Taoism, and the Demonic Sect. This Mysterious Yin Formation was evolved from the Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and strategy).

Each small formation has nine divine banners, with one main banner in the center and eight auxiliary banners arranged around it to form eight gates. These nine small formations are then arranged in this way to form a large formation.

Guan Minghui pre-determined the order of events. First, all eight formations around him disappeared, and only the main formation's god, Lu Min, appeared, fighting with the four women for more than a day.

Then the main formation was hidden, and the surrounding eight formations were revealed.

The main deities of the Eight Formations were originally fierce beasts such as mountain demons, wood demons, tigers, and snakes. They obtained the Taiyin essence blood of Guan Minghui and were secretly controlled by Lu Min, all of which transformed into Lu Min's appearance.

Lu Rongbo was greatly shocked, while Sanfeng was already furious. She sneered loudly, "The demon corpse has run out of tricks. This is nothing more than an evil demonic formation that has evolved from the Qimen formation. Watch me break it!"

Ancient numerology is a common method, which is basically known by all schools and sects. What is derived from this is the unique and secret method, such as the innate divine numerology of the Wutai School and the Zhou Tian divine numerology of the Emei School.

Sanfeng also knew a little about it and recognized that the underlying formula was Qimen Dunjia from the Three Styles. So she followed the method of Nine Stars and Eight Gates to calculate: "The Gate of Life is here!"

She calculated the direction and unleashed a barrage of flying swords, magic sand, and light rings. Lu Min, there, roared and unleashed the Taiyi Dividing Light, clashing with him with lightning from the left and a sword from the right.

Upon seeing that this Lu Min was indeed real, Lu Rongbo and the others all came over to help, unleashing their flying swords in unison.

Lu Min held firm at the gate, fighting to the death. The other seven Lu Mins each led several beast souls to surround the gate from various directions, but their attack methods consisted of spewing out large amounts of black smoke, evil energy, and mysterious yin flames.

After a chaotic battle, the four women were no match for Lu Min. Lu Rongbo suggested, "We can't get through the Life Gate, so how about we try to break through the View Gate?"

So they changed direction and charged towards Jingmen.

Lu Min at Jingmen originally held the "Taibai Dividing Light Sword" in his hand. With a light wave, he shot out streaks of pale Xuan Yin divine flames, and with a flick of his sleeve, he released rolling black evil.

It is obvious that Lu Min is a beast soul in disguise.

However, when the four women attacked, this "Lu Min" suddenly changed her demeanor and shouted angrily: "You lowly servants are about to die and you still don't know it!"

With a flick of his wrist, the immortal sword transformed into the authentic Taibai Dividing Light Sword, splitting into a beam of sword light that shot towards the four women. With a wave of his hand, he also unleashed the authentic golden Taiyi Divine Thunder!

It turns out that the Profound Yin Soul Refining Array is incredibly profound. Guan Minghui had fed all nine main gods his own Taiyin essence blood in advance. Through a mysterious connection, their hearts and minds were linked, and they could transform into each other.

The so-called Qimen Dunjia can be broken down into the Three Wonders, the Eight Gates, and the Dunjia.

Dunjia refers to concealing the "Jia" among the ten Heavenly Stems and filling the remaining nine into the nine palaces of the Earth Plate in sequence. The position of Jia changes continuously over time.

The current main god Lu Min is "A", and the remaining minor main gods are equivalent to the later Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, Ding, Bing, and Yi.

Lu Min remained hidden, appearing in whichever gate the enemy attacked.

Therefore, no matter which door the four women attacked, they all encountered the real Lu Min!
Such mystery and wonder were beyond the comprehension of the four women. When their attack on the Jing Gate failed, they then attacked the Xiu, Jing, Du, and Kai Gates in turn.

Lu Min appeared in each gate in turn to block them, while the other seven gods surrounded and attacked from behind. The four women relied on the Dragon Sparrow Ring and the Spinning Light Ruler for protection, fighting and retreating, moving and darting among the eight gates and nine palaces. This entanglement lasted for another eight or nine hours.

Guan Minghui successfully refined a new Xuan Yin Cold Flame Golden Pill ahead of time, after completing the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill.

Within the dantian, a bright golden light shone, its surface burning with cold white flames.

He opened his eyes, and in addition to the red and green, a layer of white light appeared in his eyes, the three colors flowing and reflecting each other.

His gaze pierced through the layers of darkness, finally landing on the four women, and first locked onto Dongxiu, whose cultivation was the weakest.

He made a hand seal, paused slightly, and used the Xuan Yin Array to shift space, directly moving the four women to the front of the stone bed.

The entire Xuan Yin Grand Array is arranged according to the Nine Palaces, with the Eight Gates positioned in the surrounding eight palaces. The four women had been circling around the eight palaces, but Guan Minghui was in the central palace. Lu Rongbo and Sanfeng tried to find the central palace several times, but the array reversed the five elements, causing them to calculate the wrong direction.

Guan Minghui then moved them directly closer.

The four women were engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Min's beast souls when suddenly the space shifted, and all the beast souls disappeared. They found themselves in front of the stone bed.

Sitting on the stone bed was a handsome young man with long, flowing hair. He looked no different from a living person, except that his eyes sparkled with colorful light.

Lu Rongbo was the first to realize something was wrong: "Oh no! This is a demon corpse! The demon corpse has awakened!" She hurriedly brought over her flying sword and the Mother-Child Three-Talent Demon-Subduing Needle.

Erfeng used the Soul-Sealing Mirror to seduce Dongxiu and Sanfeng, who each activated the Dragon Sparrow Ring and the Spinning Light Ruler.

The four flying swords, along with so many magical treasures, simultaneously bombarded Guan Minghui, instantly blasting him into dust.

The four women were stunned: "The demon corpse was destroyed so easily?"

Before she could even process what was happening, Guan Minghui's tall figure appeared behind Dongxiu, unfurling the Fire Cloud Chain to wrap around her, from her legs to her neck, five times in total, before pulling hard.

The fire cloud chain immediately spewed out millions of true solar fires, turning Dongxiu into a fireball.

Dongxiu screamed in terror amidst the flames, hastily summoning her flying sword magic weapon to sever the Fire Cloud Chain. Sanfeng and the others also joined the attack.

Guan Minghui smiled and used the Fire Cloud Chain to defend himself; the more the chain was attacked, the more solar fire it spewed out.

Dong Xiu was merely a wandering immortal from another sect, and his Golden Core had only been refined to the third stage. His physical body was no match for the Xuan Yin Body that Gu Chen had cultivated for a thousand years. In just a few breaths, he was completely refined by the True Fire of the Sun and turned into ashes!
As soon as Guan Minghui had a thought, black smoke surged forth, and Lu Min appeared in the smoke, cursing, "You lowly servant deserves to die!" and took away Dongxiu's primordial spirit.

During this time, the remaining three women continued their attacks, and Guan Minghui reached out and grabbed their flying swords.

Lu Rongbo's flying sword was forged by her own efforts over more than 20 years. Erfeng and Sanfeng's flying swords came from Ziyun Palace and were forged by their former master, Tianyi Jinmu. They were of better quality than the flying swords of ordinary sword immortals, but ultimately could not compare with peerless divine weapons such as Ziying and Qingsuo.

Guan Minghui first grabbed Lu Rongbo's flying sword and broke it in two. Then he grabbed Erfeng and Sanfeng's swords, and the two attacked with their Soul-Sealing Mirror and Xuanguang Ruler.

These two magical treasures could still harm Guan Minghui, especially the Xuan Guang Ruler, which was specifically designed to counter many of his spells. So he let the two flying swords go and unleashed the Fire Cloud Chain again.

He had refined this chain, and it could stretch for up to five miles. When it was shaken out, it shattered the light rings of the Xuan Guang Ruler. The true fire of the sun on it could also restrain the demonic sand of the Three Phoenixes. A large amount of yellow cloud blood flames were burned by the true fire of the sun, sizzling and turning into ashes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Guan Minghui made hand seals and cast a spell, circulating his golden core and spraying out a large amount of Xuan Yin Cold Flame from his fingertips!
