Patrol Captain

When the burial grounds suffered a great change

Chen Yuan, caught in a special situation, was completely unaware of it.

He is at a crucial moment.

His consciousness fell into a state of profound stillness, like a deep sleep, devoid of thoughts and ideas, where time seemed to stand still.

But, at some point, the darkness that had been completely silent suddenly began to make a sound.

"Boom"

"boom"

"."

The voice was ethereal and extremely subtle, as if it came from a very distant place, or from the deepest darkness where he was.

The sound didn't come from his body; it seemed to come from outside, causing ripples to spread across the "seawater" surrounding him, unexpectedly waking him from this state.

Otherwise, his blank state is like being in a deep sleep, and it's unclear when he will wake up.

Chen Yuan gradually brought his empty consciousness back together, and could clearly feel that he was floating in the sea, curled up like a fetus in the womb, completely integrated with the darkness.

His consciousness stirred, growing stronger and stronger, as he tried to break through the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a glimmer of light broke through the darkness and appeared out of nowhere!

It was a tiny speck of light.

There are tiny, flowing images inside.

A dilapidated dock, torrential rain, an old shepherd, a ferocious mandrill...

Then, a glimmer of light appeared, revealing the scene inside.

In Jiazi Lane, in a small courtyard with bamboo groves, he practiced boxing in the yard. His movements were like dragons and snakes rising from the ground, and the wind from his punches caused the air to explode with crackling sounds.
And so, countless points of light, like bubbles, rose from the depths of darkness, resembling a flowing river of stars.

Those points of light were not external light, but rather the marks of his cultivation journey!

These bubble-like points of light kept rising, rising, until they hit some kind of empty barrier and shattered with a series of popping sounds.

With each shattering of a point of light, this dark "sea" began to tremble, rippling outwards, as if it were about to break through something.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was enlightened and suddenly realized the truth. His consciousness condensed and took shape. With his left hand, he formed the Thunder Pattern Seal to draw in the energy of Musashi, and with his right hand, he formed the Lotus Seal to draw in the essence of flesh and blood.

In an instant, countless points of light danced around him like fireflies.

"Break it for me!"

Chen Yuan silently roared in the darkness, clapping his hands together towards the sky.

Instantly, the dazzling light transformed into a torrent, rushing into the depths of darkness.

He is like a seed buried in the soil, which needs to break through the constraints of its outer shell in order to take root and grow.

A faint cracking sound came from the depths of darkness.

Chen Yuan looked toward the core of his divine sense, where a tender green shoot was breaking through the soil.

The divine flower is the manifestation of essence, energy, and spirit!

In that instant, Chen Yuan's vision suddenly changed, breaking through the darkness, and his consciousness returned to its place.

Within his primordial spirit, which had transformed into chaotic primordial energy, a wisp of green energy rose up, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil—that was exactly what he sought.

A surge of azure energy rose forth, instantly sprouting branches and leaves, condensing into a three-inch azure lotus bud. Dense starlight appeared on the petals, markings of his cultivation journey.

Before the newly blossoming flower had fully unfolded, crimson clouds suddenly rose from the colorful chaos. These clouds were derived from the essence of flesh and blood. The moment the crimson clouds touched the blue lotus, they transformed into thousands of crimson streams of light, merging into the flower bud like bees and butterflies fluttering around the stamen.

Nourished by this, the lotus suddenly grew to about a foot in size, with a faint golden edge on the petals. In the center of the flower, a humanoid figure with divine light could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged, which was a sign of "the fusion of spirit and energy"!
At the same time, within the Purple Mansion, the Mysterious Pearl trembled, and a beam of primordial golden light suddenly erupted, rushing into the Niwan point, breaking through the black sea of ​​clouds, and evolving into a pillar of light that reached the heavens. With a resounding boom, it struck the primordial spirit lotus.

"boom"

Amidst the rising winds and surging clouds, golden light shone brightly. The blue lotus spun, its petals unfolding one after another until the ninth layer burst open, revealing the entire lotus suspended in the center of the sea of ​​clouds, illuminating all directions. In the center of the lotus, a primordial spirit, as red as gold, sat cross-legged, exuding divine might and imposing authority without anger. Its yang energy, like fire, transformed the entire Niwan Palace into a furnace.

This is the Yang Spirit!

As the divine flower bloomed and the Yang spirit solidified, Chen Yuan's Yang spirit suddenly opened, radiating golden light in all directions, incomparably intense.

"Three flowers gather together!"

He knew the time had come, and immediately channeled his divine sense to activate the Three Flowers.

Suddenly, a raging storm erupted within the lower dantian, and the golden core burst forth with brilliant golden light, like an ancient sun awakened. Thousands of golden rays burst forth, intertwining to form a budding lotus platform. After a soft, crisp sound, the lotus platform burst open, its petals unfolding layer by layer, supporting the great sun above the dantian.

The lotus platform spun endlessly, with the great sun hanging above it, sending down thousands of golden ribbons that rushed into the limbs and bones. The true energy, like molten gold, transformed into flames, igniting the furnaces within the body.

"call"

"call"

"call"

Flames roared from the furnaces, their energy growing stronger and stronger, like terrifying internal combustion engines surging and churning.

Following closely behind,

"boom"

A golden beam of light shot out from the Golden Core, rushing straight to the Ren Meridian and entering the Yellow Court. It struck the Yellow Court Mystic Pearl, causing the Mystic Pearl to tremble. The Primordial Qi surged violently, and the five Divine Treasures emitted the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes howling. Divine light flowed, and the five Qi poured into the Mystic Pearl.

In the Azure Spirit Palace, the Azure Dragon, transformed from the Dragon Mother Tree, roared, its azure energy generating thunder. In the Fire Li Palace, the Fire Phoenix spread its wings over the Crimson Palace, burning fiercely, its crimson light like a rosy cloud. In the White Tiger Hall, the Five-Colored Divine Tree swayed, its five-colored leaves trembling, emitting the sound of metal clashing, and then bursting forth with Geng Metal energy. In the Xuanming Palace, the Black Tortoise spat out innate true water.

At this moment, the innate divine energy between the five divine treasures surged like a great river, or like the stars in the celestial sphere revolving. The Yellow Court was greatly shaken, as if the sound of a great bell was being played, one sound after another.

The Azure Dragon holds a pearl, the Vermilion Bird holds fire, the White Tiger holds a sword, and the Black Tortoise holds a tortoise. These five elements—green, red, white, black, and yellow—irrigate the Mysterious Pearl. At this moment, the five internal organs resonate like bells and drums ringing out. The Primordial Qi grows stronger and stronger, causing the Mysterious Pearl to tremble. When the heat reaches its peak, the Mysterious Pearl shakes violently, and the Primordial Qi continues to rise, rushing straight to the Niwan Primordial Spirit Azure Lotus.

At this moment, the essence flower blooms in the dantian, igniting countless furnaces in the physical body and supporting it. The qi flower blooms in the huangting, causing the martial spirit to blaze brightly. The five qi converge and connect with the qi of heaven and earth. The divine flower supports the primordial spirit in the niwan, like the blazing sun shining in all directions.

Three golden flowers bloom in the upper, middle, and lower dantian, interconnected and generating countless threads of light that link the limbs and bones, completely unlocking the mysteries of the human body. The moment the last thread of light completes the loop, three beams of light soar into the sky, converging at the top of the Niwan Palace to form a cluster of auspicious seven-colored clouds.

At this moment, it seemed as if the heavenly sounds of bells and chimes resounded from the nine heavens, clear and ethereal, penetrating deep into the soul. Countless rays of light descended from the clouds, enveloping Chen Yuanyang's spirit.

This is precisely the image of "three flowers gathering at the top"!
As the three flowers converged at the top of the head, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred. The first to boil was the physical body; countless points of light suddenly shone from beneath the clear, glassy skin, as if countless stars were awakening in the blood vessels, the meridians were being reshaped, and a visible golden river flowed through the flesh and blood, the roar of the surging blood sounding like thunder from the heavens.

Flesh and blood frantically absorbed the rosy light within. At that microscopic level, countless cells were dividing, dying, and being reborn, undergoing a magnificent transformation and moving towards a higher level of life. The boundless vitality within was unparalleled, and the blazing blood energy was comparable to the supreme treasure of heaven and earth. The blood completely turned golden, imprinted with indestructible Dao patterns.
Meanwhile, astonishing changes are also taking place within the five divine treasures.

The radiant light bursting forth from the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top was like a celestial river pouring down. This radiance was the purest Daoist essence of heaven and earth. As it cleansed the physical body, the Five Divine Treasures also greedily absorbed this Daoist essence, just as whales swallowed and sucked in clouds. As a result, the Five Divine Treasures underwent astonishing changes.

Among them, the Dragon Mother Tree and the Five-Colored Divine Tree are the most eye-catching.

The gnarled roots of the Dragon Mother Tree, like a green dragon reaching out its claws, stretched wildly in the rosy light. The trunk grew at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and the dragon patterns on the bark were dyed five colors by the rosy light. The ferocious patterns, like dragon scales, layered upon each other, forming nine spiraling dragon shadows on the trunk. New branches constantly sprouted, and the leaves trembled gently, releasing clusters of dragon-shaped clouds of energy as they stretched, intertwining with the rosy light hanging down from the three flowers in the sky. As time passed, this originally nascent spiritual root of fortune, after frantically absorbing the Daoist essence of heaven and earth from the rosy light, continued to grow, becoming lush and verdant. Finally, the dragon-shaped fortune intertwined with the rosy light, and slowly, a brilliant green dragon-shaped fruit formed on one of the branches.

This means that the Dragon Mother Tree is maturing at an astonishing speed during this process.

Meanwhile, the transformation of the Five-Colored Divine Tree was even more fantastical. It flew directly out of the Divine Treasury, landed on the Mystic Pearl, and took root in the Primordial Golden Qi, bathed in abundant rosy light. The five-colored canopies—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—expanded rapidly in the rosy light. Blue branches reached eastward, as if catching the falling morning glow; red branches extended southward, swirling around the burning fire clouds; the golden trunk rose rapidly, its bark displaying the patterns of mountains and rivers; white branches stretched westward, catching the moonlight falling from the sky; and black roots plunged into the northern netherworld, pulling out wisps of black energy. The five colors of the canopy continuously merged in the rosy light, finally revealing a sixth divine leaf, chaotic yet with golden edges.

This five-colored divine tree was a divine treasure that descended from the heavens, allowing him to perfect his martial arts and break through to the Dragon-Tiger realm. This tree is extremely mysterious and unpredictable, capable of sweeping away nothing within the five elements, and is one of his trump cards.

Now, as he advances to the Martial Saint realm, this divine tree has once again displayed its heaven-defying nature, actually giving birth to a sixth type of leaf.

The five-colored leaves represent the five elements, while the sixth divine leaf represents what lies beyond the five elements.

These mysterious changes all prove that the divine tree's power has reached a new level.

Incredible.

At this moment, within the Niwan Palace, Chen Yuan's Yang Spirit opened its eyes, and a beam of light, like glass, shot out from the vertical pupil between its brows, passing through the Niwan Palace and landing on the Huangting Palace. It was watching this scene with delight in its heart.

At this moment, his Niwan Palace was illuminated by the rosy light into a crystal world. The patterns on the divine flower suddenly came to life, turning into golden threads that meandered and rotated around his body, imprinting golden Dao patterns on his primordial spirit. They flashed and merged with the heavens, engraving the Dao seal.

At that moment, the Daoist sound that permeated heaven and earth suddenly became grand, as if countless gods and Buddhas were chanting scriptures, or as if a celestial being was whispering in his ear.

At this moment, the Thirty-Six Mountain Demon-Suppressing Tower above his head suddenly swayed, transforming into a beam of azure light that rushed into the space between his brows. Then, his brows rang out with a metallic clang, and the azure-gold tower shadow appeared outside his brows, like a Vajra protecting his body.

Immediately afterwards, from within the physical body, from the various profound acupoint furnaces and the Musashi Furnace, streaks of multicolored flames flew out, rushing up to the Glazed Mud Pill and crashing into the phantom of the Demon Suppression Tower like thousands of streams of fire.

"when"

"when"

"when"

The sound of bells continued incessantly.

These flames are the hidden treasures of the supernatural powers and techniques that Chen Yuan is currently learning, including various methods of furnace transformation.

At this stage, the Dao Fruit merges with the Yang Spirit, forming the Dao Furnace, which forges all laws and integrates them into one body. At that time, it can protect the Yang Spirit, ride the wind and travel thousands of miles a day without hindrance, and further manifest its own Dao.

At this moment, a stream of information is flowing through his eyes.

He broke through to the Martial Saint realm, and the Mountain-Moving Tiger Talisman vibrated incessantly.

"boom"

In a certain space, the rosy clouds soared into the sky, and thousands of auspicious rays appeared!
A deafening explosion rang out.

Then, smoke and dust filled the sky, followed by a cracking sound.

Within a milky-white barrier, a terrifying aura awakened like that of an ancient ferocious beast.

Then, with a bang, the restriction exploded.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure emerged—it was Chen Yuan.

But soon, a violent force swept towards him, like a raging storm.

Chen Yuan, who had just broken through to the next realm, narrowed his eyes and raised his hand. With that, immense power gathered and slapped the gale, instantly releasing its violent force.

At this moment, Chen Yuan's pupils contracted slightly. The surroundings were pitch black, and a violent spatial storm raged around them.

The ground beneath his feet was a patchy, grayish-white expanse of earth.

More precisely, it is on the surface of a "moon," several miles in size.

This "moon" is his fourth divine treasure platform, serving as the core of the array and used to perform the Star Shifting and Constellation Changing Array.

At this moment, the "moon" emitted a milky white light, which had dimmed considerably, and was covered with dark spots caused by the space storm.

"What happened?"

"What about the rest?"

Chen Yuan's mind raced, and then his body suddenly emitted a golden light, forcefully resisting the spatial storm that could have shattered Musashi Ryūhō. With a sway of his feet, he arrived on the back of the moon.

There is a huge pit there.

Inside the pit was a crimson spirit coffin, two hundred feet in size. Its spiritual energy had greatly diminished, and the fire phoenix had been scattered. Fortunately, the coffin itself was still intact.

Chen Yuan sensed it for a moment, and his raised eyebrows finally relaxed a little. Then he raised his hand, and a radiant glow bloomed. A six-colored divine tree appeared in his palm, then flew out and grew, transforming into a divine tree over a hundred feet tall, hanging above the pit and covering the crimson spirit coffin below.

Then the six-colored divine leaves shook, emitting a heavenly roar, and unleashing a vast and powerful force that swept away the raging spatial turbulence around them, the roar never ceasing.

At this moment, Chen Yuan raised his hand and lifted the lid of the spirit coffin, directly opening it.

Exclamations came from inside.

There are people inside.

Then came shouts of ecstasy.

"It's General Chen!"

"He's finally out of seclusion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, streaks of light flew out of the spirit coffin.

The first to fly out were Old Man Dong and his group.

"Thank goodness, you've finally come out of seclusion. I thought I was going to die in this spatial rift."

That's Old Man Dong's voice; he sounds like he's about to cry.
