One person: Senior Brother Zhang Zhiwei, who has mastered the Golden Light Mantra to its fullest lev

The Primordial Dao Qi, this supreme profound art that points directly to the origin of heaven and earth, stirred up unprecedented waves within his body after absorbing the mixed yet pure ancient Qi of a group of top masters from the Nine Heavens Sect, the Two Elements Sect, and others.

The feeling was like a pool that was already full of water being forcibly filled with a rushing river.

The violent surge of energy nearly tore his meridians apart and burst his dantian.

If it were any other superhuman, even the old master Zhang Zhiwei, facing such a massive impact of alien energy, there would probably only be one outcome—death by explosion.

But Zhang Yunyuan is different.

His Dao is inherently "primordial chaos".

The Primordial Chaos is the state before the separation of heaven and earth, before the opening of chaos, encompassing all things and devouring everything.

For the past three days, he has been here, using himself as a furnace and heaven and earth as fire, to refine and purify the ancient qi that he has devoured, bit by bit, until it is transformed into the most primordial energy and returned to his own body.

This process was extremely dangerous.

His body sometimes felt like it was on fire, sometimes like it was frozen, and sometimes he felt a pain as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.

But he remained calm and composed, letting the violent energy surge within his body. His mind, however, was like an unyielding rock, firmly guarding the last vestige of clarity in his spirit.

Finally, on the third day at dusk, as the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the horizon a magnificent crimson.

The surging torrent of energy within him gradually subsided.

All the ancient Qi that had been devoured had been completely refined by him, turning into drops of pure, shimmering liquid energy with a chaotic luster, which flowed into his already vast and boundless dantian.

The cultivation barrier of the middle stage of the Innate Realm that had troubled him for so long, seemingly insurmountable, also emitted a crisp sound, like the shattering of glass, under the impact of this new force.

A terrifying aura, far more powerful, purer, and more harmonious than ever before, suddenly awakened within him.

The air around him seemed to freeze instantly.

The boulder beneath him silently turned to dust.

Within a radius of a hundred feet, all the withered grass and sand were crushed into the most primitive dust under this invisible aura.

The middle stage of innate ability is complete!

Zhang Yunyuan slowly opened his eyes. In those deep eyes, there was no ecstasy after the breakthrough, only a calm and indifferent gaze that seemed to see through the eternal mortal world.

He slowly opened his left hand, and in his palm, a ball of energy, about the size of a fist and shimmering with a ghostly blue light, was quietly floating and pulsating.

Within that sphere of light, countless tiny, star-like points of light appeared and disappeared, combining to form rapidly flashing images.

This was the memory he forcibly extracted from Gong Qing's soul before using the Chaos Thunder to annihilate him completely.

The reason he kept Gong Qing's memories was to find out the origins of the so-called "Kunlun Immortal Realm" and the "Immortal Pivot Creation" that could change a person's appearance.

His divine sense probed into that ball of memory light.

He didn't delve into the conspiracies and schemes of the Quanxing sect, nor did he concern himself with the grudges and entanglements surrounding Longhu Mountain.

His goal was crystal clear.

He quickly found the answer he was looking for.

In those fragmented, chaotic pieces of memory, he saw a scene.

It was in the basement of what looked like an abandoned factory, where Gong Qing was bowing respectfully to a figure.

The figure had its back to him, so he couldn't see its face.

All you could see was him wearing simple work clothes, with neat short white hair. He wasn't tall, but he gave off an exceptionally reliable feeling.

In Gong Qing's memory, the way he addressed this person was filled with a subtle, almost obsessive, fervor.

"Village Chief Ma."

The so-called "Creative Power of the Immortal Pivot" did not come directly from Kunlun, but was taught to him by this "Village Chief Ma".

It was a terrifying technique he had never seen before, one that could overturn the entire art of weapon crafting.

It can use Qi as a guide to create things out of thin air, and can even transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings in large numbers.

In the end, all the clues pointed to one place name—

Ma Xianhong, a successor of the legendary master mechanic!

Zhang Yunyuan slowly withdrew his divine sense, and the ball of memory light in his palm vanished without a trace.

He stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his clothes, and a knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

It seems I need to make a trip to this so-called "Biyou Village"!

Just then, a sudden cell phone ring broke the tranquility of the mountaintop.

Zhang Yunyuan took out his phone, which he hadn't used in a long time, and glanced at the caller ID—Zhao Fangxu.

He swiped to answer the call but didn't say anything.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Fangxu's signature laughter, tinged with a mix of hearty and politeness, immediately came through.

"Senior Yunyuan, I apologize for disturbing you. I hope I haven't disturbed your cultivation?"

"What's up?"

Zhang Yunyuan's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.

Getting calls from all directions at this time is hardly a good thing.

"Haha, there is something."

Zhao Fangxu's tone remained polite, but it also carried a hint of business. "I mainly wanted to ask you about what happened on the Ganbei grassland a few days ago..."

"If the All-Powerful Alliance wants to arrest me, feel free to send someone over."

Zhang Yunyuan's voice turned colder, "What's wrong with me eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path?"

"Oh dear, senior, what are you saying?"

Zhao Fangxu quickly chuckled, his tone becoming increasingly humble:

"How could I possibly have meant that!"

I just... you know, such a huge thing happened, Quanxing was almost completely uprooted by you, and the entire world of supernatural beings was shaken.

I need to give an explanation to both my superiors and subordinates, don't I?

"Besides, I would also like to invite you to visit the capital. It's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunyuan's lips curled into a playful smile.

"You need something from me, don't you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a slightly embarrassed dry laugh from Zhao Fangxu.

"You were right, there really is a tricky situation."

Of course, in your eyes, it's probably nothing at all.

Zhang Yunyuan's heart stirred.

Although he knew about Biyou Village and Ma Xianhong, the world is so vast that finding a deliberately hidden village is like finding a needle in a haystack.

As an official agency, Nadutong Company has an intelligence network that spans the entire country, so it's likely they would have information on Biyou Village.

If someone offers themselves up for help, might as well use them.

"Perfect timing, I'd also like to visit the capital."

He said calmly, "Send someone to pick me up."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhao Fangxu's voice revealed an undisguised surprise.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunyuan glanced in the direction of Beijing, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared by a national highway a hundred miles away, waiting quietly like an ordinary traveler.

He wanted to go and see what secrets this so-called "Biyou Village" held.

I also want to see what connection Ma Xianhong, who could use "Creative Power of the Immortal Pivot" to forge a disguised human skin and give it to Gong Qing, has with the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Chapter 202 The Meeting in the Capital, Chen Duo's Affairs

In Beijing in autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the air is crisp and refreshing.

A black Hongqi sedan with a special license plate silently drove into a heavily guarded government compound.

The car door opened, and Zhang Yunyuan got out of the car.

He was still dressed in simple gray casual clothes, his hands in his pockets, his overly youthful face seeming somewhat out of place in this solemn and dignified environment.

Zhao Fangxu was already waiting at the office door. As soon as he saw Zhang Yunyuan, he greeted him with a big smile, as if he were seeing a long-lost relative.

"Senior Yunyuan, you've finally arrived! Please come in, please come in!"

He personally led Zhang Yunyuan into his spacious and bright office.

"Come, senior, please have a taste. This is a Da Hong Pao tea that I have treasured for many years. I would not take it out for just anyone."

As Zhao Fangxu personally brewed tea for him, he discreetly observed the living legend before him.

After decades apart, the other person's appearance remained unchanged, but their eyes were even deeper and calmer than in my memory, as if they held the essence of countless ages.

Even this seasoned company director felt a strange sense of unease.

Zhang Yunyuan ignored his polite formalities, simply sat down on the sofa, casually glanced at the office furnishings, and got straight to the point.

"How's the matter with Quanxing going?"

"Thanks to you, it has been basically resolved."

Zhao Fangxu respectfully handed a steaming cup of tea to Zhang Yunyuan, his face showing genuine gratitude.

"Your battle directly broke the backbone of the Quanxing sect."

Gong Qing, Ding Shian, Tu Junfang...

After you wiped out these core experts, the remaining small fry are leaderless and can no longer cause any trouble.

Recently, cases of violent and unusual acts have decreased by more than 70% nationwide.

You have made a tremendous contribution to our company and to society as a whole!
