Pure Yang!

Chapter 388 Chu Chaoran's Great Tribulation! Life is full of unexpected encounters.

All things are born and die; heaven and earth are sometimes clear and sometimes turbid. Incense is offered to immortals and gods, while demons and monsters wreak havoc on the human world.

Since the time of the Taoist Ancestor, he has been known as the one who upholds the Supreme Decree, who governs the Three Heavens, who kills ghosts and brings life to humans, who eliminates evil and falsehood, who pacifies the ghostly energy, and who is revered by all the sacred mountains and ancestral temples, and by the demons and ghosts in the mountains and seas...

This is a momentous change for the world!

The faint voices emanated from the ancient temple, like thunder rumbling through the mountains.

"Destroy mountains and raz temples!"

Ming Shenshou's eyes narrowed to a single line as he spoke in a low, deep voice.

At this moment, what this demon king of Qinling said was the most important and crucial event in the history of Taoism.

From then on, the Taoist sect expanded and prospered day by day. All the incense offerings in the human world returned to the immortal abode. The life-and-death feud between the Wuwei sect and the Taoist sect that lasted for thousands of years also began from this point.

"The talisman is used to receive the mandate of Heaven, the seal is used to command the gods, and the sword is used to slay evil..."

"At Crane Cry Mountain, the Dao Ancestor sealed all the six heavenly ghosts and gods within the [Ghost-Dispelling Well]..."

The faint voice came again, growing louder and louder, and the incense in the ancient temple began to burn brightly.

"Supreme Talisman!"

"Yang God Seal!"

"Three or five swords!"

Legend has it that the Taoist patriarch Zhang Daoling obtained these three treasures at Heming Mountain, thus establishing the lineage of Taoism. He sealed all the demons and ghosts in the world within the "Ghost-Banning Well." The Supreme Talisman was commissioned by Heaven, the Yang God Seal commanded the immortals and gods, and the Three-Five Swords suppressed and killed the demons, bringing peace to the world.

"According to the elders, whoever obtains these three treasures will be able to find the ancient well on Crane Cry Mountain, offer sacrifices to the heavens, and open the demon gate..."

Ming Shenshou walked to the front of the ancient temple and looked at the broken seal of the [Thunder City Demon-Imprisoning Golden Seal] placed at the entrance.

"The seals of the Zhang family of Dragon and Tiger all originated from the profound mystery of the [Yang God Heavenly Capital Treasure Seal]," Ming Shenshou said meaningfully.

He vaguely understood why the demon king of Qinling would covet the magic seal of the Zhang family of Longhu.

"Unfortunately, it's just a small seal."

Suddenly, the wooden box shattered, and wisps of lightning rose up, carrying the remaining seal into the air.

Inside the ancient temple, the ferocious clay dragon sculpture seemed to come alive. Amidst the boiling incense, a figure emerged and slowly walked out, its fair hand gently reaching out to support the broken seal.

"How could this small seal take seven days to make?"

A cold laugh echoed in front of the ancient temple. A young man walked out, barefoot on the muddy ground. He had deep eyes and a deep scar on his forehead that extended to the corner of his right eye. His left hand was supporting a large stone block that looked like it weighed a thousand pounds.

The Demon King of Qinling, Yin Pobai!

In the mysterious realm of mountains and seas, there are countless demons and ghosts in the world. This one is definitely the one standing at the very top. Even the white crane of Baihe Temple, the ape of Laojun Mountain, and the old tortoise of Zhenwu Mountain have to be wary of him.

"Lord Yin, it's been a long time!"

Ming Shenshou bowed and spoke softly.

"Master of the Crimson Palace, what brings you here today?" Yin Pobai glanced at him and suddenly flicked his left hand, sending the massive stone pillar, weighing a thousand pounds, flying out and crashing directly into Ming Shenshou.

hum...

Ming Shenshou stood motionless in place. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation arose, and his figure transformed into a blur, suspended in the air. The huge stone pillar crashed down behind Ming Shenshou as if it had missed its target.

"Taoist supernatural power: Flying and teleporting!"

Yin Pobai spoke softly and sat down on the threshold of the ancient temple, playing with the fragment of the [Thunder City Demon-Imprisoning Golden Seal].

"Over the years, you have also made great progress and acquired many supernatural powers."

“Divine powers are bestowed by Heaven, and those with virtue shall possess them. Anyone whose divine powers I can take away is not worthy of such a blessing from Heaven.” Ming Shenshou slowly descended and sat on the huge stone pier.

“I am the tribulation that Heaven is testing them. Only those who pass the test can truly possess supernatural powers.”

"Such arrogance." Yin Pobai sneered, "With your abilities, it seems the position of sect leader of the Wuwei Sect is destined to be yours in the future?"

"When the time comes, after wiping out the Taoist sects and flattening the White Crane Temple, you can directly enter the Supernatural Power Association and feast to your heart's content."

The divinely bestowed supernatural powers are rare to begin with, and the Supernatural Power Association can be said to have gathered most of the awakened supernatural powers in the world.

If Myojin Hisashi were to join the Shinto Association, it would truly be like starting a buffet.

“Lord Yin, you’re joking,” Ming Shenshou said, shaking his head.

"You didn't come here today to show off your supernatural powers, did you?" Yin Pobai suddenly changed the subject.

"You wouldn't come to the Great Luo Palace without a reason!" Ming Shenshou said in a deep voice, "Does the Yin ruler, who lives deep in the Qinling Mountains, know what the most important event in the world is right now?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Pobai suddenly raised his deep gaze and looked coldly at Ming Shenshou.

"I'm hiding, not dead!"

He paused slightly before continuing, "Chu Chaoran is going to take on a closed-door disciple."

“Not bad,” Myojin Hisashi nodded.

"It seems his great calamity is not far off, and he's in a hurry to find a successor," Yin Pobai sneered.

"You see things so clearly." Ming Shenshou looked at Yin Pobai and couldn't help but say.

"The Three Corpses Taoist said that being in the mortal world is the greatest calamity. Even if Chu Chaoran has entered the Pure Yang Limitless Realm, as long as he is still in the mortal world, he will still face calamities..."

Yin Pobai's expression grew increasingly cold.

Mentioning that name made the scar on his forehead ache. For sixty years, he had been hiding in the Qinling Mountains for sixty years, and finally, this day had come.

When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fate turns, even heroes are powerless…

"Chu Chaoran, he has been invincible for sixty years, he should die too," Yin Pobai said coldly.

Because of Chu Chaoran, the former number one expert in the world perished on the summit of Mount Dongyue.

Because of Chu Chaoran, the Wuwei Sect disappeared for sixty years, becoming unparalleled in the Daoist world.

Because of Chu Chaoran, all the demons and ghosts in the world hide in the mountains and seas, and dare not set foot in the human world at will.

Every sixty years, heaven and earth come into harmony, and all things must change accordingly.

"You came here for this matter?" Yin Pobai looked at Ming Shenshou and said coldly.

“Indeed.” Ming Shenshou nodded and said, “The Lord of Yuan Palace has glimpsed the secrets of heaven: the Pure Yang will soon disappear, and Chu Chaoran’s calamity is just around the corner!”

"The Lord of the Yuan Palace!?"

Yin Pobai's gaze darkened slightly. Among the Wuwei Sect, there were only three people he truly feared, and the Master of Yuan Palace was one of them.

This person's cultivation is unfathomable, surpassing even the Three Palaces, and he is extremely mysterious, showing signs of being on par with the Vice Sect Master of the Wuwei Sect, Mr. Nian.

"He glimpsed the secrets of heaven, the Pure Yang Calamity, within reach... Chu Chaoran's disciple-acceptance ceremony?" Yin Pobai sensed something and couldn't help but ask.

"good……"

“Whether it will end or not, there will be a break after seventy-three generations. The ancestors of Zhenwu Mountain foresaw this long ago,” Ming Shenshou said coldly.

"Chu Chaoran's great calamity is the great calamity of Zhenwu Mountain."

"With this pillar of Taoism fallen..."

“The sky will collapse and the earth will cave in immediately.” A strange light shone in Ming Shenshou’s eyes.

At that time, the world order will change dramatically, and a new era will begin.

"In that case, I must prepare a grand gift for Chu Chaoran!"

Yin Pobai murmured softly, slowly standing up. Behind him, the incense from the ancient temple swayed, and deep in the mountains, the earth trembled, with strange roars echoing for miles around.

...Two days later, at Chang'an International Airport.

Zhang Fan has been out for some time now. Li Yishan is safe and sound, so it's time for him to go back. He will rest for two days in Yujing before heading to Zhenwu Mountain to participate in the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Transcendental Master.

This is the most talked-about event in the world right now. Not only him, but everyone is curious about who the last disciple that the Transcendental Master will take in this lifetime is.

"Zhang Fan, Li Yishan, I'll leave you here."

Meng Qiwu came to see him off.

"If you have the chance to visit Jiangnan in the future, I'll treat you well," Zhang Fan greeted him.

This trip was also thanks to Meng Qiwu, which saved a lot of time and trouble. The relationship between the two has also progressed further, at least Zhang Fan has gained more trust in Meng Qiwu.

"This trip was worthwhile; I met the beautiful Meng, so it was definitely worth it," Li Yishan chuckled.

Meng Qiwu glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "I didn't expect someone as dignified as Renxiao to be so unserious."

"Do you want to raise your voice a little more?" Li Yishan's gaze darkened slightly, but his smile grew even stronger.

"A disciple of the prestigious Zhongnan Mountain, colluding with the Wuwei sorcerer—I'll keep this secret for the rest of my life..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qiwu was taken aback, and then looked at Zhang Fan and Li Yishan.

These two are exactly the same.

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Fan coughed twice and picked up his luggage: "Qiwu, thank you for your help this time. Next time, when we go to Yujing..."

"No need for next time."

Before Zhang Fan could finish speaking, Meng Qiwu interrupted him.

"We'll see each other again at Zhenwu Mountain soon."

"You're going to Zhenwu Mountain too!?"

As soon as Zhang Fan asked the question, he realized he had asked a pointless question. Meng Qiwu was a disciple of Zhongnan Mountain, and of extremely high status. How could such a grand occasion be complete without her?
"Alright, see you at Zhenwu Mountain."

"Brother Fan! Boss!"

Just then, Qin Ergou came up. Meng Qiwu had specially brought him along to see him off.

Now she knew why Zhang Fan had insisted on sending Qin Ergou to Zhongnan Mountain for cultivation; it wasn't just because he valued the boy's talent, but more importantly, because he was one of the thirteen zodiac animals...

A newly promoted Dog!
"Ergou, you have great potential. Focus on your cultivation in Zhongnan Mountain. Once you've completed your training and come down the mountain, come find us in Yujing City," Zhang Fan said, patting Qin Ergou on the shoulder.

Qin Ergou cultivated the Toad Fishing Qi, swallowed the essence of the dragon vein, learned the Northern Emperor's Great Law, and then entered Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate and refine the Purple Lightning Toad... The mysteries of all these opportunities were simply unique to him.

It's no exaggeration to say that he is the protagonist in his own story.

That's why Zhang Fan thought highly of him.

"Parting is for a reunion, Meng, beautiful lady. Why don't you bring Er Gou with you to Zhenwu Mountain next week?" Li Yishan was quite satisfied with the new Xu dog that Zhang Fan had recruited for him.

"Senior Sister Meng, may I ask?" Qin Ergou looked at Meng Qiwu with anticipation.

“When the list comes out, I’ll put him in.” Meng Qiwu nodded; this kind of small matter was no challenge for her.

"That's great!" Qin Ergou laughed heartily.

Since leaving the [Chanbao Mountain] where he grew up, he has regarded Zhang Fan as his only family. If it weren't for Zhang Fan's insistence on letting him stay in Zhongnan Mountain to learn martial arts, he would have left with Zhang Fan last time.

"By the way, where's Ge Shuangxiu? He came with you, what happened to him?"

Just then, Meng Qiwu suddenly asked.

“He had something come up and left first.” Zhang Fan’s gaze darkened slightly.

"Alright, we're leaving now. See you at Zhenwu Mountain."

"See you at Zhenwu Mountain."

After saying goodbye, Zhang Fan carried his luggage and followed Li Yishan into the station.

“Ge Shuangxiu…a member of the Chunyang Ge family?” Li Yishan suddenly asked.

He had never met Ge Shuangxiu, hence his question.

"your friend?"

“Yes, she originally came with me,” Zhang Fan nodded.

Back then, Ge Shuangxiu separated from Zhang Fan in order to find out about Qin Ergou. Now Qin Ergou has been found and Li Yishan is safe and sound, but he is gone.

Two days ago, when Zhang Fan finally had some free time and wanted to contact him, Ge Shuangxiu called and told Zhang Fan that he had already left Chang'an.

"Zhang Fan, I met Rosen!"

Zhang Fan still remembers the first thing Ge Shuangxiu said on the phone.

He met Rosen on the streets of Chang'an.

Ge Shuangxiu only said that he and Luo Sen were simply catching up, and then said that something had happened to the Ge family and he needed to go back, and that they would meet again at Zhenwu Mountain next week.

"Rosen!" Zhang Fan murmured softly, his feelings becoming incredibly complicated.

"You also know that man who cultivated the Jia-life-Gui-death technique at the Tomb of the Living Dead?"

Just then, Li Yishan's voice pulled Zhang Fan back to reality.

"Hmm!" Zhang Fan simply nodded without saying anything more, not wanting Li Yishan to worry.

"I know your relationship is more than just ordinary."

Li Yishan gave Zhang Fan a deep look, then said, "But I must remind you, that person is a master trained by Baihe Temple."

Sooner or later, they will still stand in our way.

Zhang Fan gave a soft "hmm" but didn't say anything more. He knew that Li Yishan was telling the truth.

The two of them are inseparable.

From Li Yishan's perspective, Baihe Temple is an insurmountable barrier. Even if he had no intentions, Baihe Temple would not let him go, this so-called Wuwei sorcerer.

If Wuweimen is a pyramid scheme, then Li Yishan is undoubtedly a core member; he can't escape it.

Moreover, their internal factional struggles are also very intense.

"How's your mom doing?!" Zhang Fan asked casually.

Last time, Li Yishan only said that the Lord of Jiang Palace suddenly launched an attack and fought with his Yun Ma. Jiang Yunxian was slightly injured and is now in hiding.

"It's nothing serious." Li Yishan's gaze darkened slightly, and a layer of frost appeared on his face as he recalled the matter.

"That old bastard Ming Shenshou, once I've mastered my profound skills, I'll be the first to skin him alive!"

As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Li Yishan's eyes.

"Nephew, whose skin are you trying to skin? You're so young, why are you so hot-tempered?"

Just then, a light, mocking laugh came from behind.

Zhang Fan and Li Yishan froze abruptly. Turning around, they saw a man in a sharp suit pushing a suitcase and holding a boarding pass. Who else could it be but Ming Shenshou?

“Nephew, we two are really destined to meet.” Ming Shenshou had a broad smile on his face, which widened when he saw Zhang Fan.

"What a coincidence, my Samadhi True Fire is here too!"

"Hahaha!"
