Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 68 The Five Ominous Signs of Xuan Yin
The Ziyun Palace consists of nine large palace complexes arranged in a swastika shape.

Coral Pavilion is located in the southwest. It is a large garden with streams, lakes, and artificial mountains made of various corals.

Guan Minghui released eighty-one Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banners, freeing up one to release the primordial spirit of He Zhang, whom he had killed at Mount Wutai, and invited it onto the banner.

It will take a hundred days to refine him properly.

According to his calculations, once the alchemy is completed, the main force of the Wutai Sect will arrive around the same time.

It's not just the Wutai Sect that's coming; there will also be vassals like the Huashan Sect, and many new gods will be added to the banners.

He only needs to refine this formation for one hour each day. After the refinement is complete, he will sink it into the lake to hide it, and then raise it to appear again when he needs to refine it.

The lake water could not conceal the evil aura, so he took another drop of Xuan Yang Taiyi Yuan Jing and dripped it into the lake.

Within the ancient warm jade, the little silver rhinoceros lay on a purple lotus, nurtured by the Great Dao and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. Every few days, it could spit out a drop of Taiyi Yuanjing from its mouth.

Guan Minghui did not use it. The Taiyi Yuanjing accumulated more and more in the warm jade. It could nourish the warm jade and be nourished by the warm jade. The two nourished and refined each other and evolved together. The warm jade became more and more refined, and the Taiyi Yuanjing also became Xuanyang Taiyi Yuanjing.

This primordial essence can be used in medicine and for refining treasures. Just a drop sprinkled into the lake adds many shimmering halos to the surface, turning the entire lake into a beautiful jade, and making the koi, crystal shrimp, colorful shells, and jade crabs inside come alive.

With the Xuan Yang Qi blocking the Yin Sha, the people on the shore could no longer detect the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner below.

Then use magic to seal and cover it up, and you can be absolutely sure of safety!
Guan Minghui calculated the time; Chu Feng would soon emerge from seclusion. Before that, he would have some free time to refine the Azure Mirage Bottle.

The Azure Mirage Bottle is a rare treasure from the Heavenly Realm, crafted using orthodox Xuanmen immortal techniques, and contains a primordial azure mirage energy from the Nine Heavens.

It wasn't that they killed a living Azure Mirage to extract its vital energy, but rather that the immortals of the Upper Realm collected the essence of the Heavenly Realm from the Azure Sky and refined it into a treasure.

It can not only absorb cloud energy and needle sand, but also create various illusions, similar to the mirage dragon's elixir energy, hence the name.

He must refine this treasure as soon as possible.

According to the divination, the Wutai Sect will attack Ziyun Palace in the future. The first wave of attacks will be led by Geng metal (positive seal and seven killings) before the arrival of Xin metal (metal), which will possess magical weapons such as hooks and needles. It should be led by Sikong Zhan.

This Azure Mirage Bottle can precisely break his Gengjia Transformation Heavenly Light Divine Needle!
To refine this Azure Mirage Bottle, it is best to use Heavenly One True Water. This is a unique technique of the Heavenly One Golden Mother. A single drop can transform into a lake. The water system in the Purple Cloud Palace is entirely formed from Heavenly One True Water.

The Heavenly Mother of Gold refined a considerable amount back then, and the unused portion was stored in a large, bright red coral gourd.

Later owners used some of it, and the last time it was used to transform Jinxu Nu's body, leaving only a dozen or so drops.

Guan Minghui went out under the identity of the Third Princess, and naturally all the resources in the palace were at her disposal, including Tianyi True Water.

He first took only three drops into the Azure Mirage Bottle, where they combined with the Azure Sky Essence inside and were repeatedly refined nine times. This not only washed away all the original aura of the Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor, but also greatly increased its power and efficacy.

After refining the bottle, he thought about his future plans for nurturing an elixir and forming a baby.

Gu Chen has cultivated the Nascent Soul of the Profound Yin Beast God, making him more suitable for cultivating the Profound Yin Beast Gathering Technique, which will allow the Profound Yin Beast Gathering Banner to unleash even greater power.

To refine this nascent soul, one must kill 108,000 wild beasts and capture their souls. It would be even better if they were sentient beings or had even cultivated an inner core.

Guan Minghui disliked the weak power of this nascent soul; he wanted to refine an even more powerful one, the Profound Yin Five Desires Nascent Soul, which was even more powerful than the Profound Yin Six Desires Nascent Soul of the Heavenly Lust Sect Master.

Disasters are a category of misfortunes; when they occur internally, they are considered calamities, and when they come from outside, they are considered calamities.

Black omens indicate floods, blue omens indicate wood disasters, red omens indicate fire disasters, white omens indicate metal disasters, and yellow omens indicate earth disasters.

Internally, one cultivates the Five Ominous Primordial Qi of Profound Yin, which, when released externally, becomes five kinds of calamities that sweep across the heavens and earth. When fully activated, the five elements shake together, the universe is turned upside down, and mountains and rivers are shattered.

Therefore, it is also called the Nascent Soul of Heavenly Calamity.

This is the most powerful Nascent Soul in the Mysterious Yin True Scripture!
If you're going to forge something, forge the strongest, the best!

However, it is not easy to refine this kind of nascent soul. It requires first collecting the five kinds of primordial energy and incorporating it into the golden elixir. This step alone takes several hundred years.

To save time, he needed to find the essence of the Five Elements, such as the Profound Yin Black Omen Primordial Qi. He planned to go to the Western Extreme Mountain to collect the Profound Yin True Water in the future.

He immediately began using the Heavenly True Water as a foundation. A single drop of this true water was equivalent to a lake, all of which was formed from pure water vapor. Absorbing it all was equivalent to him directly absorbing ten years' worth of refining skills from rivers, lakes, and seas.

He first took a drop of true water and put it in the Azure Mirage Bottle. Every day, he absorbed the water vapor and used a secret method to refine it into Xuan Yin Black Omen Primordial Qi. This was the purest primordial qi, not the foul and malevolent qi that was released outwards. He slowly inhaled it into his dantian.

Each time the Profound Yin Cold Flame Golden Pill was refined, its radiance increased by three points, and his power gradually increased accordingly.

After cultivating continuously for more than ten days, Chu Feng emerged from seclusion!

Upon emerging from seclusion, Chu Feng heard that San Feng had returned, and immediately sent Jin Xu Nu to find her. Guan Ming Hui used the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Transformation Technique to change his appearance and arrived at the Huang Jing Palace to meet Chu Feng.

Although the sisters are triplets, they look different and have different temperaments.

Sanfeng is proud, aloof, and sharp-tongued; Erfeng is carefree, silly, and naive; Chufeng has the air of an eldest sister, her face full of concern when she sees her younger sisters.

"During this seclusion, I will refine the most powerful technique in the final chapter of 'The Three Secrets of Demonic Arts,' the Seven Saints Bewitching Heaven Technique, and then I will go to the Central Plains to find the demon corpse and avenge you!"

Guan Minghui embellished his previous conversation with Huizhu and the others, and then took out the Azure Mirage Bottle: "When I first saw this treasure, I thought it was the perfect match for my sister. I risked my life to snatch it from the Hunyuan Ancestor, just to give it to my sister."

He was certain that Chu Feng wouldn't want it, so he deliberately acted extremely sincere and stuffed the bottle into Chu Feng's hand.

Chu Feng took the Azure Mirage Bottle and examined it: "It is indeed a fine treasure, and also a supreme treasure for refining demons. With this treasure by your side, you will be spared many tribulations."

However, the Queen Mother's will foretold that our aptitude is too shallow to attain the celestial immortality; only through utmost caution and quiet cultivation in the depths of this vast ocean can we achieve the status of earthly immortals.

She put the bottle back in.

Guan Minghui said, "That Golden Mother is stingy. She clearly has a 'Purple Mansion Secret Manual' and a 'Golden Chapter of the Earthly Palace.' The former can be cultivated to become a Celestial Immortal and ascend to the Purple Mansion."
But they only showed it to us once before sending it flying away, leaving behind only a copy of the "Golden Chapter of the Earthly Palace," a manual for cultivating to become an Earth Immortal. They even deliberately hid the last few pages, so I couldn't see them.

When Chu Feng heard her sister complaining about Jin's mother again, she quickly changed the subject, advising her not to go out easily in the future, to seal off the sea eye, and to enjoy the peace and quiet here.

Guan Minghui sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, sister. If I take this bottle, the Wutai Sect will definitely not let it go. At most, they will come to kill me in a few dozen days."

Chu Feng was taken aback: "It's just a treasure. According to you, although the Wutai Sect defeated the Emei Sect in the sword duel, the Emei Sect has accumulated a thousand years of experience and has a profound foundation. They only won once, and there are still two more sword duels to be arranged. We are not to be trifled with either. Do you think they would fight us to the death over something like this?"

"The key is that they don't think we have the strength to fight them to a standstill," Guan Minghui said. "Moreover, if they don't come looking for revenge after seizing this treasure in front of all the immortals, they will become a laughing stock among all the mountain caves."

How can we lead the immortals in the future? The sect's fortune will decline with it, so they will surely come to kill us all, not only to seize this bottle, but also to take over the Purple Cloud Palace and turn it into a separate residence, only then can we regain our prestige and the hearts of the people.

Chu Feng agreed with his reasoning and frowned, "What do you think we should do?"

Guan Minghui said, "I have already thought it through in the past few days since I returned to the palace. If the Wutai Sect wants to kill us and seize the palace, they will definitely do everything in their power. Although the water formation at the sea eye was left by the Golden Mother,..."
But we certainly can't stop them. We'll refine the most powerful element from the final chapter of the *Three Secrets of the Demonic Realm*—the Heavenly Demonic Sand—and ambush them along the fifty-mile sea route from the sea eye to the palace.
"Set up a grand array of mystical demonic sands, and then we'll fight them inside it. No matter how many of them there are, we'll make sure they never return!"

Chu Feng was also easily swayed and incapable of managing her subordinates. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been torn between Emei and Wutai in the original story, and would have been devoured by the Heavenly Demon. If Jin Xu Nu hadn't risked his life to save her, she would have become a puppet of the Heavenly Demon.

After listening to Guan Minghui's plan, she thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement: "To refine that divine sand, we don't have enough manpower with just a few people. We need to go outside and find a few more people with talent before we can start refining the sand."

As the head of the palace, her decisions must be followed by everyone.

Huizhu, Jinxunu, Erfeng, and Guan Minghui went out, and we need to find at least six people to bring back as soon as possible.

Upon reaching the surface of the sea, the four separated and each searched for their destined one.

Guan Minghui used the Xuan Yin Divine Calculation to temporarily cast a divination on his palm, and chose the most interesting direction from the hexagram to fly away on his sword.

Before long, they came to an island, which, from a distance, looked just like a giant bull lying on the sea.

The island is surrounded by huge coral reefs, stacked and encircling each other, with many colorful fish and shellfish playing among them, making for a beautiful scene.

Guan Minghui didn't know who lived on the island, but according to the divination, there were two people there, a man who would be related to the Emei Sect in the future, and whose parents had a grudge against the Ziyun Palace.

Because it is a crucial variable, if we can bring the person back, not only will things go more smoothly at Ziyun Palace in the future, but we can also influence the game with the Emei Sect at any time through this variable.

He flew directly over the island and saw two boys practicing swordsmanship.

The two men were not very tall, but they were very strong. One was dressed in yellow and the other in white. Both were wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts and were barefoot. One stood on the "bull's head" of the island and the other stood on the "bull's back," practicing a duel with a flying sword.

Guan Minghui descended slightly, unleashing the light of his sword, hovering in mid-air, and asked, "Where is this place? And what are your names?"

The two boys sheathed their flying swords and stared at him intently, their eyes filled with wariness: "And who are you? Where did you come from?"

Guan Minghui very "generously" stated his origins first: "I come from Ziyun Palace, have you heard of me?"

"Purple Cloud Palace?" The two youths exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison, "Are you one of the Three Phoenix Sisters of Purple Cloud Palace?"

Seeing Guan Minghui nod, the two immediately activated their flying swords: "Then hurry up and die!"

The two swords, one yellow and one white, drew two arcs, one to the left and one to the right, and shot towards each other from both sides.

These two guys are also ruthless; beneath each of their sword lights lies a sea shark thorn forged from the bones of a hundred-year-old shark whale!
