With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Ye Yaocheng put the badge away; now was not the time to think about that.

Solving the root cause is the most important thing.

He looked down at the yellowed booklet in his hand, which he had been deeply attracted to after only a fleeting glance.

Those peculiar human-shaped standing postures and those densely packed tiny characters seemed to come alive, deeply attracting him.

It wandered through his mind, seeping into every corner.

"Perhaps Huijiang is telling the truth; this cultivation technique can truly help me solve the problem at my origin."

Anticipation ignited in his eyes, and he excitedly muttered to himself as he looked at the booklet.

"I don't seek a complete cure, I just want to temporarily suppress the loss of my vital essence."

"I'll think of another way after I leave here."

The ruins are now eerily quiet; the evil tyrant has been completely sealed away, and its presence cannot be detected.

This is the perfect place for enlightenment.

Ye Yaocheng found a relatively flat spot, sat down cross-legged, and turned to the first page.

The little figure in the book is standing in a peculiar pose.

The caption next to it reads "boy".

"The Yi Jin Jing has seven levels, each level representing a different realm."

"Only those with great perseverance should enter."

Ye Yaocheng continued turning the pages and discovered that each page had a different standing posture, and even a different breathing method.

The further you go, the more mysterious it becomes.

He recalled the rumors about the Yi Jin Jing that his three masters had told him before.

It is said that there are almost no people in the world who can fully comprehend the Yi Jin Jing.

What's even stranger is that the more you try to learn it, the less you can learn it.

Many exceptionally talented masters, after obtaining this manual, desperately tried to comprehend it, but ended up suffering from qi deviation, some going mad, others dying.

Those who manage to get started by chance don't reach a high level of understanding.

Over time, this Buddhist treasure has almost been forgotten by the world.

"I don't ask for much; as long as I can temporarily suppress the original source, that's enough."

Ye Yaocheng repeated it again.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Turning to the first page, my gaze fell upon the posture of the first little figure.

The little figure was so lifelike, it seemed to have truly come to life, and appeared in Ye Yaocheng's mind.

The little figure slowly changes pose on the pages of the book, and every detail of the movement is crystal clear.

The small annotations beside it transformed into streaks of light that seeped into the space between the eyebrows.

Ye Yaocheng was completely immersed in what felt like a super-stunning movie.

As time passed, Ye Yaocheng tirelessly continued his contemplation.

His aura began to change.

First, a faint golden halo emanated from beneath the skin.

Next are orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—seven colors in total!

Seven-colored light slowly flowed around him!

If Huijiang were to witness this scene, he would surely be astonished.

The Yi Jin Jing can cultivate seven-colored divine light, which is extremely rare in the thousands of years of history of Jingang Temple.

What's even more frightening is that Ye Yaocheng has only been in contact with this cultivation technique for a short time.

It took less than half a day.

This shows just how high his talent is.

If his very essence hadn't been damaged, his strength would likely have been even more unimaginable.

Of course, this is a story.

He wouldn't have come here if his very essence hadn't been damaged.

Ye Yaocheng's breathing was steady and strong.

With each breath, two streams of white mist emerged from his nostrils and swirled in front of him.

Like two powerful dragons shrouded in mist.

The already scarce spiritual energy in the ruins began to converge on him frantically.

A visible vortex of spiritual energy formed around him.

Under this powerful energy pressure, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But he did not stop there.

If you stop now, you're really giving up.

The seven-colored light grew brighter and brighter.

This light was completely different from the previous indestructible golden body; it was full of divinity.

It was as if some ancient power was awakening within him.

Deep within the dantian, the dried-up source of life suddenly trembled slightly.

A trickle of water slowly emerges from the dried-up source.

Though faint, it truly exists.

The enormous crack in the origin was showing signs of healing!

Just as the trickle of water began to flow out, about to leak through the crack, two incredibly powerful energies erupted simultaneously from the depths of the dantian!

They blocked the crack from the left and right!

He forcefully locked those precious primordial powers within his dantian!

Ye Yaocheng felt a jolt as he looked inside his body.

He knew that these were the seals placed within him by his three masters. Although one of them was missing, it still exerted a considerable power.

Ye Yaocheng felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

This was the backup plan his masters had prepared for him.

If it weren't for these seals, he probably wouldn't be here anymore.

Ye Yaocheng's eyes were firm.

"For Master."

"For those who are waiting for me and for those I must protect."

"I need to recover quickly!"

He closed his eyes, and the Northern Darkness Divine Art began to operate on its own!

"boom!"

The vortex of spiritual energy instantly tripled in size!

The already scarce spiritual energy in the ruins was completely drained!

This is not enough!

The suction force of the Northern Darkness Divine Art extended directly to the sealing platform.

There, you'll find even purer energy!

Although the evil tyrant has been sealed away, the power he has accumulated over thousands of years is still immense!

Strands of the purest, attribute-free spiritual energy surged from the direction of the high platform!

Never-ending!

Ye Yaocheng accepted everything offered and absorbed it all with gusto!

With this spiritual energy, he was confident that he could temporarily suppress his origin in the shortest possible time!

I don't know how much time passed.

Ye Yaocheng slowly opened his eyes.

Two golden beams of light shot out from his pupils!

The dimly lit ruins were instantly illuminated as if it were daytime!

The light faded, and he stood up.

He clenched his powerful fist, feeling the true energy flowing through his body again.

Although it's less than 30% of his peak strength, it's already a huge improvement compared to his previous state where he couldn't even use his true energy.

Most importantly, the rift at the source has been temporarily stabilized.

Although it is still slowly flowing out, the rate is more than ten times slower.

"That's enough. With this power, I can roam freely throughout this secret realm and even Linjiang."

A smile appeared on Ye Yaocheng's lips. It was time to go out.

He was eager to know how those who had entered the secret realm were doing now.

Ye Yaocheng took one last look at the ruins.

Their gaze fell upon the sealed platform.

The tyrant of evil thoughts was impaled by nine golden chains and nailed there, as if he had fallen into a permanent slumber, motionless.

"The evil tyrant hopes that you won't break the seal too quickly next time."

Ye Yaocheng's voice was icy.

"That way... I can punish you myself next time."

If it weren't for him, Wang Shiyu wouldn't have left so quickly.

After saying that, he turned and left, his figure disappearing into the depths of the ruins.

Darkness enveloped the area once more.

It was like a forbidden zone that no one dared to set foot in.

"call……"

Just then, a figure in black robes slowly emerged from the shadows and stretched his stiff body.

"This kid is really patient; he's kept me waiting for so long."

His gaze shifted to the sealed platform.

Looking at the enormous creature pierced by nine chains, a complex expression appeared in his eyes.

"Is this the great man from a thousand years ago? He's truly amazing."

"Even Lu Zu's clone couldn't be suppressed; he needed help from others."

The man in the black robe licked his chapped lips.

"If I weren't so weak, I would release the master right now."

"That scene...how wonderful it would be."

He chuckled strangely.

Then, he walked around the platform.

He crouched down and carefully picked up some things from the ground.

There were several broken bones and pieces of bloody flesh.

If Ye Yaocheng were still alive, he would be shocked.

These things were the ones that fell to the ground when he punched the evil tyrant in the chest!

"With these things... this experiment will definitely be a success."

The man in black carefully placed the collected bone fragments and flesh into a black cloth bag.

He was so excited he was trembling all over.

The thought of that boy, filled with hatred, made him unable to contain his excitement.

"If the experiment succeeds on that kid, my Soul Palace will surely reach its peak once again!"

He chuckled strangely.

"What kind of bullshit sect is this? What kind of Divine Martial Guard is this...?"

"That's all bullshit!"

In his mind, a wonderful image of ruling the world had already appeared.

"Humans are truly laughable."

"They shout slogans about saving the world while simultaneously exploiting those around them."

"How ironic."

The man in black robes was startled as soon as he finished speaking!

"Someone's there?!"

He sensed that something was approaching!

"I can't worry about that anymore."

He gripped the cloth bag tightly in his hand. Now that the mission was complete, any further delay might lead to unforeseen circumstances.

He vanished into the shadows in a flash.

A moment later, two figures appeared at the edge of the ruins.

The one leading them was Hongyun.

The young Taoist nun following behind her was her junior disciple.

However, Ji Mingyue was not present.

"Uncle-Master, this place is so desolate. It's completely different from the secret realm we visited before."

The young nun frowned and pouted. She felt that she had really come to the wrong place this time; it wasn't as wonderful as she thought.

Hongyun didn't speak. She looked around and frowned slightly.

"Uncle-Master, what's wrong?"

Hongyun shook her head and waved her hand casually, "It's nothing, someone was just here."

"But it's alright, they've already left."

She looked smug; she had personally witnessed many people getting lost in the illusion.

But she was fine and pulled through.

This made her feel confident in herself.

If she had seen the battle between Ye Yaocheng and his two companions and the evil tyrant, I wonder if she would still have this thought.

"Let's go, hopefully we'll find the right one this time."

"I wonder how that person is doing now."

Her gaze was drawn to the nine golden chains not far ahead.

His eyes gleamed with excitement.
