Honghuang Town Yuanzi.

Chapter 70 An Encounter with the North Sea Black Tortoise (Combined Chapter)

At this moment, several Taoist priests stood outside Longevity Hill, looking at it with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

One of the Taoist priests pointed to Longevity Mountain with a look of delight, saying, "This place gathers the spiritual energy of the earth's veins from hundreds of millions of miles around. It must be a blessed land, but I wonder which cultivator's place it is!"

"Yun Zhongzi disregarded his injuries and fled here; could it be that he sought refuge here, intending to escape this calamity by relying on the mountain's protective formation?"

"Hmph, a mere mountain-protecting formation, how could it possibly stop us!" another Taoist sneered.

"We must not be careless. Although Yun Zhongzi is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his Taoist magic and supernatural powers are extraordinary and should not be underestimated." The only Daluo Golden Immortal among them pondered for a moment and said, "Furthermore, this mountain-protecting formation is extremely extraordinary and was not set up by an ordinary cultivator."

"We have come from overseas only to seize Yun Zhongzi's innate white jade lotus. We must not cause any trouble unless absolutely necessary."

"Brother is absolutely right." The first Taoist to speak pointed to the protective array in Longevity Mountain and said, "This array seems to be connected to the earth's veins and has not been affected by the demon race's Heavenly Court's blockade of the celestial bodies. We must not act rashly before we have investigated it thoroughly, lest we fall into the array."

At this moment, someone retorted, "We traveled from the Western Sea to the Primordial Land to test our own destiny and search for innate spiritual objects and treasures. How can we stay here indefinitely!"

"This matter is simple." The Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator glanced at the group and said, "If the owner of this place insists on protecting Yun Zhongzi, we can send a message to our ancestor and occupy this blessed land of immortals, thus gaining a foothold in the prehistoric world."

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi had already activated the Innate Earth Array, enveloping the entire Wanshou Mountain area.

Even with his cultivation and supernatural powers, he could only see a yellowish-brown mist from the outside, and could not see the scenery inside Longevity Mountain clearly at all. He could only sense divine light and precious radiance, and even vaguely felt a wisp of innate energy rising into the sky.

This gave rise to a greedy thought in him, and he decided to take this sacred mountain for himself.

However, the mountain-protecting formation before him was extraordinary, which made him somewhat hesitant, hence his decision to notify the ancestor to come.

................................................

A streak of black and white light flashed across the northern sky of the primordial wilderness, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After bidding farewell to Dongwanggong and leaving Penglai Immortal Island, Zhen Yuanzi headed towards the northern part of the prehistoric world.

According to the location mentioned by Dongwanggong, it is deep in the northern part of the prehistoric world, near the North Sea, and can be sensed from afar.

As soon as Zhen Yuanzi rode the cloud into the depths of the northern part of the prehistoric world, he spread his divine sense over hundreds of thousands of miles to search for the innate evil energy that the Eastern King Duke had mentioned.

Half a month had passed, and Zhen Yuanzi's divine sense faintly sensed that the area was extremely desolate, with countless malevolent energies seemingly emerging from the mountains, eroding the surrounding earth and rocks.

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed. Following the direction he sensed with his divine sense, he quickly found a mountain as black as ink.

This mountain range is very long and is composed of iron and stone both inside and out, making it appear completely black.

From a distance, it resembles a black dragon winding and coiling across the primordial land, exuding immense power.

Furthermore, countless malevolent energies have sprung up in the mountains, turning the surrounding area into a desolate wasteland devoid of life.

Zhen Yuanzi stood atop the auspicious cloud, gazing down at the Iron Stone Mountain. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he said, "The wonders of nature are beyond the comprehension of even the most powerful beings."

The malevolent energy here has merged and blended with the iron and stone of the mountain, subtly manifesting as physical matter to repel innate spiritual energy. It is not a place for cultivation.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator would be eroded by the evil energy and his magical power would gradually dissipate if he stayed here for a long time.

Soon, Zhen Yuanzi found the place where the evil energy was gathered.

Countless malevolent energies arose out of nowhere in this place, as black as ink.

The deepest evil energy within it felt incredibly pure to Zhen Yuanzi, as if it exuded a trace of extreme yin energy.

"This is innate Yin energy!" Zhen Yuanzi's expression flashed with surprise.

All things in the universe possess yin and yang, and so does malevolent energy.

However, the evil energy that is commonly seen is invariably yin and evil energy.

However, these Yin and evil energies are very chaotic and not pure enough to be considered as innate Yin and evil energies.

"Strange, this innate Yin energy has been with this mountain for countless years, how come no one has discovered it all this time?" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly felt something was amiss.

The Eastern King Duke attained enlightenment through pure yang energy, so it would be useless for him to collect these primordial yin evil energies, which is why he did not collect them.

However, for other cultivators, this innate Yin energy is a valuable treasure, so they would not ignore it.

"Could it be that, just as Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong feared, this place is not undiscovered all along, but rather harbors some hidden danger?" Zhen Yuanzi frowned. The spiritual sense of a great supernatural being is a manifestation of a sliver of heavenly secrets in the darkness, and it is always extremely accurate.

"I'd like to see if there are any hidden dangers here!" With that thought, Zhen Yuanzi directly revealed his three primordial spirit flowers and summoned the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, which hung high in the air.

In an instant, countless innate yin-yang divine lights descended from the innate yin-yang divine diagram, enveloping the entire mountain, as if trying to absorb it into the innate yin-yang divine diagram.

"Please, fellow Daoist, stop for now!" A thunderous voice suddenly rang out from the direction of the North Sea.

The next moment, before the sound disappeared, a cloud of auspiciousness flew in from the direction of the North Sea, and on it stood a Taoist priest in a green robe, his expression revealing a hint of worry.

Zhen Yuanzi was interrupted by the sudden sound. Instead of continuing to store it in the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, he turned to look towards the North Sea. He saw a lucky cloud flying rapidly in the void above, with a Taoist standing on it. His aura was extremely pure, radiating auspicious light.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi knew that this Taoist was extraordinary, possessing Taoist skills and supernatural powers that subtly surpassed those of the Great Luo Realm, and should not be underestimated.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!" Zhen Yuanzi bowed slightly to the Daoist.

Clearly, besides the Eastern King Duke, other powerful beings had discovered this mountain long ago.

The Taoist priest was startled when he saw Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi had no aura at all, but his every move caused a subtle change in the space around him, as if he were in harmony with the laws of the Great Dao, which was very similar to the ancestral witch of the Wu clan.

This is the profound change brought about by the Undying Chaos Body; every move it makes is accompanied by the laws of the Great Dao.

"This humble Taoist, Xuan Gui, greets fellow Daoist!" Xuan Gui Daoist dared not be negligent and immediately cupped his hands in a respectful bow to Zhen Yuanzi.

Xuan Gui Dao Ren!

A strange light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. Could it be that the Taoist in front of him was the Black Tortoise of the North Sea?

When people mention the land of Beihai, many will think of Beihai Kunpeng, one of the great saints of the demon race.

Little did they know that there was another great supernatural being in the North Sea, also born of nature, named Xuan Gui, whose cultivation and supernatural powers were no less than those of Kunpeng.

However, this Xuan Gui Daoist was not well-known; even in his previous life, there were very few rumors about him.

Zhen Yuanzi also knew little.

Of these, only one story is widely known: when Nuwa was refining the five-colored stones to mend the sky, she went to the North Sea to kill the Xuan Turtle and then took its four limbs to support the heavens and the earth.

Over time, the deathly aura, resentment, and malevolent energy that the Xuan Turtle transformed into permeated the entire northern part of the prehistoric world, turning it into a near-dead wasteland.

However, with the end of the Lich War, the remaining Lich and Demon races went to the northern part of the prehistoric world to live in seclusion, preserving a trace of their vitality.

This northern part of the primordial wilderness will become the future Northern Continent.

As for why Nuwa killed the Xuan Turtle!

Zhen Yuanzi didn't know either.

At that time, Nuwa had already attained sainthood and possessed the innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, which allowed her to easily refine supporting objects.

Logically speaking, there's no need to kill the Xuan Turtle.

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi deep in thought, Xuan Gui Dao Ren couldn't help but speak up, "Fellow Daoist, are you pondering why I stopped you from taking possession of this mountain earlier?"

"I do indeed have some doubts!" ​​Zhen Yuanzi asked, pulling himself out of his thoughts, "Could it be that this mountain harbors some hidden danger?"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist!" Upon hearing this, Xuan Gui Daoist smiled and said to Zhen Yuanzi, "This mountain does indeed have some unusual features, but it can't be considered a hidden danger."

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist." Zhen Yuanzi showed a hint of doubt, wondering what the unusual thing Xuan Gui Daoist was talking about was.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the transformation of innate evil energy into human form?" Xuan Gui Daoist did not answer directly, but asked instead.

Innate malevolent energy manifests in physical form!

"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that the innate Yin evil energy in this mountain might take form?" Zhen Yuanzi was not too surprised by this. Although it is very rare for innate evil energy to take form, it is not impossible.

"That's right." Xuan Gui Daoist nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist should know that the innate evil energy that takes form is different from us innate gods and demons; it is born to be hated by heaven and earth."

Although the innate Yin evil energy is also included in the innate number, it is different from the innate energy.

To the heavens and earth, this innate Yin energy is a malignant tumor that repels innate spiritual energy, thus giving rise to calamities.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

This is why Dong Wanggong vaguely sensed that there was a hidden danger in this mountain.

If a cultivator disperses this innate Yin energy that has the potential to take form, the blessings of heaven and earth will naturally come, allowing them to have smooth sailing in all matters, encounter opportunities, and advance their cultivation.

Luck, though seemingly ethereal, is in fact quite mysterious.

Otherwise, whether it was the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin in the past, or the demon clans of Dijun and Taiyi in the present, or even the saints of the future, why would they fight for destiny for no reason?

"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to disperse this innate Yin energy, or do you plan to collect it and refine it into a treasure?" Zhen Yuanzi asked curiously.

Whether you break it up or use it to refine spiritual treasures, you can gain considerable benefits.

"I have no such intention."

Xuan Gui Daoist shook his head and said, "It is extremely rare for this innate Yin evil energy to take form. Rather than dispersing it or refining it into a treasure, it would be better to wait for this innate Yin evil energy to take form and then take it under our wing as a disciple."

"Fellow Daoist, your righteousness is truly admirable. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority." Zhen Yuanzi was slightly surprised, not expecting that Xuan Gui Daoist would have such a plan.

However, this innate Yin energy, though seemingly capable of taking form, actually requires an unknown number of years to materialize.

Even if it takes hundreds of millions of years, this innate Yin energy will only have a slight chance of taking form, and it will encounter countless calamities along the way.

At this moment, the Xuan Turtle Daoist asked Zhen Yuanzi, "I wonder what you intend to do with this mountain, fellow Daoist?"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I intend to use this mountain to forge a divine weapon." Zhen Yuanzi did not hide anything from this.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi didn't say it, Xuan Gui Dao Ren could guess a thing or two.

"To forge a divine weapon using this mountain?"

"How will you wield such a heavy divine weapon with your physical body in the future?" Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Xuan Gui Dao Ren found it hard to believe. Cultivators have never cultivated their physical bodies, so how could they wield such a heavy divine weapon!

Throughout the entire primordial world, perhaps only the ancestral witches of the witch clan could wield such a heavy divine weapon.

Zhen Yuanzi simply smiled and remained silent, offering no further explanation.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Gui Dao Ren suddenly looked Zhen Yuan Zi over and realized something. He said, "No wonder. When I saw you earlier, I felt that you were somewhat similar to the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan. It turns out that you are proficient in physical supernatural powers."

"In that case, fellow Daoist, you may take this mountain back to refine a divine weapon."

"However, I hope you will not damage the origin of this innate Yin evil energy."

In fact, Xuan Gui Dao Ren's physical body was also extraordinary; otherwise, Nuwa in her previous life would not have killed him and used his limbs to support the heavens and the earth.

However, for Xuan Gui Dao Ren, his own tortoise shell was the best divine weapon and treasure, even surpassing innate spiritual treasures, so there was no need for him to painstakingly refine another divine weapon.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!" Zhen Yuanzi thanked Xuan Gui Daoist, then pointed to the empty Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, and countless Innate Yin-Yang Divine Lights descended once more, enveloping the mountain.

In a short while, a flash of innate Yin-Yang divine light appeared in the air, and a long mountain range was completely absorbed into the innate Yin-Yang divine diagram, leaving only a winding deep pit.

Suddenly, pitch-black, innate Yin energy surged into the sky from the deep pit, like a huge black light curtain spreading in all directions.

The black light curtain contained an extremely domineering innate yin energy that constantly repelled innate spiritual energy in the air, covering the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles and vaguely turning it into a forbidden land for living beings.

At this moment, the innate Yin energy in the air seemed to become still, while a dark green sphere of light gradually emerged from the depths of the black light curtain, suddenly bursting out with a radiant light.

The next moment, the ball of light began to beat like a heart, and countless malevolent energies surged into it, enveloping it like mist.

In a short while, the innate Yin energy that was originally as black as ink in the air disappeared completely, leaving only a huge dark green ball of light.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes shone with golden divine light. Within the ball of light, a figure sat cross-legged, exhaling and exhaling innate Yin energy, resembling an innate god or demon yet to take form.

"Indeed, it is the manifestation of innate Yin evil energy." Zhen Yuanzi's eyes revealed a strange light as he said, "If it has another hundreds of millions of years to gestate, there may be no hope that it will take form in the future."

However, since Zhen Yuanzi has already taken this mountain away, even if the source of the innate Yin energy has not been damaged, it still has a considerable impact on it.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand to recall the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, and then with a flick of his sleeve, he released a stream of innate evil energy that fell into the dark green light ball.

The Xuan Turtle Daoist, who was not far away, was greatly surprised when he saw Zhen Yuanzi unleash a burst of innate malevolent energy. He exclaimed, "This is innate malevolent energy!"

"Fellow Daoist actually possesses such an item!"

Xuan Gui Dao Ren praised Zhen Yuan Zi, saying, "Fellow Daoist is indeed a person of great virtue."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile. "Since I have taken this mountain to refine divine weapons, I should settle the karmic debt with it."

This innate evil energy was something Zhen Yuanzi obtained by chance years ago, and it wasn't considered a treasure to him.

However, this innate Yin energy has considerable benefits, saving a lot of hard work.

At this moment, a jade talisman fell from the void. Zhen Yuanzi summoned it into his hand and saw a trace of primordial spirit energy overflowing from the jade talisman.

After sensing the situation for a moment, Zhen Yuanzi's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Some things have happened in the mountains, so I must take my leave now."

"If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain." Before the words had even finished, Zhen Yuanzi waved his sleeve at the void above, tearing open space and creating a dark spatial passage.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi flashed with light and flew into the spatial passage, disappearing from sight.

"This is the law of the Great Dao of Space!" Xuan Gui Dao Ren was shocked and secretly marveled at Zhen Yuan Zi's great Daoist cultivation and supernatural powers, as he actually possessed the law of the Great Dao of Space.

Only after the spatial fluctuations completely disappeared did Xuan Gui Daoist put away the innate Yin evil energy ball and ride the cloud towards the North Sea.

This place is no longer suitable for nurturing the innate Yin energy, so Xuan Gui Dao Ren had no choice but to take it back to the North Sea and place it elsewhere.
