Pure Yang!

Chapter 403 The Strongest Generation! I'll Help You Ascend the Dharma Platform

Jiangbei Province, near Shiyan City.

Blissful Abode.

This place is only five or six kilometers away from Zhenwu Mountain. It is a private courtyard under the name of Zhenwu Mountain and is not open to the public on weekdays.

In earlier times, this site was originally a temple called "Ji Le Guan", which enshrined "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun". Later, during the chaos of war, the land was engulfed in flames, and this place also suffered a calamity. A great fire turned it into scorched earth.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhenwu Mountain renovated the place and built a villa that could accommodate seventy or eighty people at the same time. It was used to entertain guests on important occasions.

"It's so quiet."

At the edge of the pond, the setting sun casts a golden glow on the shimmering water.

A young man stopped. He was tall and straight, with handsome features and eyes like stars. Looking at the scene before him, which seemed to be frozen in time, he couldn't help but sigh as he watched the day turn into night.

With a mind as still as water, the world is quiet, and all thoughts seem to dissolve into the myriad forms and appearances. In this instant, even one feels as if one has become a part of this world.

This kind of flavor represents an extremely high level of spiritual cultivation.

"Ge Chang'an...the Ge family even brought their precious darling with them!?"

"Forgetting oneself and the world, all thoughts return to stillness... No wonder people say that he is the spirit of Ge Zu, who sent down this bright pearl to future generations."

"The Transcendent Master's Disciple Acceptance Ceremony, are these young people going to make their appearance one by one? The prelude to a new era..."

With the Zhenwu Mountain disciple-acceptance ceremony just around the corner, many people have already moved into the Blissful Gathering Hall. These people are either disciples of major sects or descendants of aristocratic families, and many of them are highly skilled.

Ge Chang'an kept his sharp edge hidden, but even just standing there, he still attracted the attention of many experts.

There's no way around it; outstanding people can't hide their brilliance no matter where they go.

"Brother!"

Just then, a woman walked up from behind, her long dress swaying in the wind. She had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament, exuding an ethereal charm.

“Extremely optimistic…” Ge Chang’an murmured without turning his head.

"Taiyi Jiuku, the Azure Flower Emperor, has countless incarnations, responding to every call, relieving suffering and leading to rebirth in the Pure Land..."

"What immense compassion and what a grand aspiration that is!"

As he finished speaking, a look of reverence appeared in Ge Chang'an's eyes.

Those who cultivate the Tao and make great vows must be people of great compassion, wisdom, and courage. Only with such a heart for the Tao can one achieve transcendence.

"Fuyao, can you feel the compassion and suffering within the embers of incense?" Ge Chang'an's thoughts became wandering and scattered.

Ge Fuyao paused for a moment, then shook her head: "My younger sister is dull-witted and cannot understand what you are saying, brother."

With her cultivation and attainment, she had already stepped into the realm of a Great Master, making her outstanding among the young disciples of the Ge family. However, she still had to maintain sufficient humility in front of Ge Chang'an.

"All I know is that a hundred years ago, this place was extremely optimistic, and it was dedicated to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun!"

“The place of ultimate bliss is a good burial ground. Only by killing can one obtain the secrets of the Xuanmen. The incense will burn for ten thousand years…” Ge Chang’an’s eyes narrowed, as if he had come back to his senses. A soft whisper fell at the end of the twilight.

"Brother, you seem to have a lot of feelings to express today?" Ge Fuyao couldn't help but ask.

"Here at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain, seeing the ancient relics of our ancestors, one can't help but imagine the demeanor of the transcendent immortal of yesteryear," Ge Chang'an couldn't help but sigh.

"The demeanor of a transcendent immortal?" Ge Fuyao asked curiously.

"Could it be that the Transcendental Master has something to do with this extreme optimism?"

"You don't know something."

This place is also known as...

"Zodiac animal burial sites!"

"Zodiac burial sites?" Ge Fuyao looked puzzled.

Ge Chang'an stood by the pond, hands behind his back, and whispered: "It is said that when he was young, the Transcendental Master had a great grudge against the Wuwei Sect. He hated evil as if it were his enemy and killed countless Wuwei demons, especially the thirteen zodiac animals of the Wuwei Sect."

"All thirteen zodiac animals of the Wuwei Sect died at the hands of the Transcendental Master."

"The thirteen zodiac animals!?" Ge Fuyao's expression changed slightly.

As a disciple of the Chunyang Ge family, she naturally knew that the Thirteen Zodiacs were protectors of the Wuwei Sect, especially in the last hundred years, during the time of the Three Corpse Daoist, when the Thirteen Zodiacs under his command were known as the strongest in history.

They were a group of demons who brought slaughter wherever they went, and none in the world could stop them.

"At that time, the Central Plains suffered, the common people were ravaged, and war raged across the land. The Wuwei Sect seized the opportunity to grow stronger..." Ge Chang'an said quietly.

"Even in such a chaotic era, the extraordinary master showed his talent at a young age."

"In the Battle of Mangdang Mountain, five of the thirteen zodiac animals died at his hands, and even the human zodiac animals of that time could not suppress him."

Such a past was slowly recounted by Ge Chang'an. He single-handedly defeated the five zodiac animals and suppressed the human zodiac animal without any advantage. If it were anyone else, it would be a shocking story, but for Chu Chaoran, it was just a matter of course.

This is because that was the invincible body of the future Pure Yang Immortal, who would suppress the world for sixty years.

"Later, the remaining seven members of the Human Race returned to seek revenge," Ge Chang'an said calmly.

“Seeking revenge? Could it be…” Ge Fuyao’s heart stirred slightly, as if she had guessed something.

“It is precisely in this extreme optimism that Ge Chang’an said in a deep voice.”

"At that time, the Transcendental Master was in seclusion here, while the Human Zodiac led the remaining seven Zodiacs to attack..."

"That night, blood flowed like a river. The thirteen zodiac animals were reduced to a thing of the past, all left behind in this place. The human and animal figures were completely destroyed, body and soul."

"All thirteen zodiac animals died at the hands of the Transcendent True Man?" Ge Fuyao asked in a daze.

How old was the Transcendental True Man back then? In his early twenties, similar to their age, or even younger, yet he had already annihilated all thirteen Zodiac animals.

Such a feat seems astonishing and miraculous even today.

Not to mention, that was supposedly the strongest generation of thirteen zodiac animals in history.

"Do not……"

Ge Chang'an seemed to see through Ge Fuyao's thoughts, and shook his head and whispered.

"Although the young and brilliant Master Chaoran was unparalleled, don't forget that there was another one in that era. With him around, even the most amazing talents in the world were destined to have difficulty rising to prominence."

"Simply because that's..."

"The greatest martial arts master in the world!"

“The Three Corpse Taoist!” Ge Fuyao blurted out.

Two peaks from different eras were born in the same lifetime.

At that time, the Transcendental Master was still on the rise, but the Three Corpses Daoist was already at the height of his power.

After the thirteen zodiac animals were destroyed, he reassembled a new thirteen zodiac animals in just one year.

Just one year...

"That was the strongest generation of the Thirteen Zodiacs in history, especially the Human Zodiac, which was mysterious and unpredictable, sweeping across the Daoist sects and becoming invincible. Even the Wuwei Sect was silenced and completely subdued by the Three Corpse Daoist, who unified the incense offerings of the four seas and became the true master of the Wuwei Sect."

A story unfolds slowly in this zodiac burial ground.

The lives of those who came before are gone. Those fallen zodiac signs could never have imagined that their successors would be so terrifying, known to posterity as the strongest generation, and still a nightmare for the Taoist sect and Wuwei.

"The Transcendental Master is a living legend. In two more days, we will be able to witness the splendor of this Pure Yang Master." Ge Fuyao couldn't help but get excited.

Although she came from a family of the Pure Yang clan, she did not know what Pure Yang was.
However, in the present world, in the Zhenwu Mountain, there is a living Pure Yang Realm cultivator. She has never seen a Transcendent True Person, and countless fantasies have already arisen in her heart. That person must be a bright and majestic being, like a god.

“You’re right, but there’s one more important thing to do before we go up the mountain,” Ge Chang’an said slowly.

At this moment, the streetlights in the courtyard were all lit, and night quietly descended. "Important matter? What is it?" Ge Fuyao couldn't help but ask.

"Ge Shuangxiu, come out."

Suddenly, Ge Chang'an looked in one direction and called out loudly.

Upon hearing this, Ge Fuyao's expression changed drastically. The most important reason they came out this time, besides attending the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Transcendental Master, was to bring back the escaped Ge Shuangxiu.

But she never expected that this person would be hiding here, right under their noses.

After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the quiet courtyard for a long time, but Ge Chang'an's shout attracted the attention of many people.

Ge Chang'an remained silent, simply staring in that direction.

"Tsk tsk, Ge Chang'an, you really are someone important."

Just then, a burst of unrestrained laughter rang out, followed by a figure slowly emerging from that direction—it was none other than Ge Shuangxiu.

Having not appeared for a long time, his face was pale, and his arms were wrapped in thick bandages, with faint traces of crimson lightning flickering within.

"Thunder Origin Dharma Assembly!?"

Ge Chang'an's gaze darkened slightly as he sensed a familiar aura. He then began to look Ge Shuangxiu up and down.

"Your injury can't be suppressed anymore."

"Ge Shuangxiu, you really are cunning, trying to play dirty tricks on us?" Ge Fuyao shouted sternly as she recognized the person who had come.

It is true that there is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Ge Shuangxiu turned a deaf ear and didn't even look at him. Although he had a low status in the Ge family and his presence was almost non-existent, that was because he used to be low-key and forbearing. Now that he no longer pretended, he had no taboos and didn't care about anyone.

"Ge Chang'an, are you a dog? You came here just by smelling the scent," Ge Shuangxiu chuckled.

"You are a talented person. Among the Ge family's peers, you are the only one I can respect."

Ge Chang'an remained calm, completely unconcerned by Ge Shuangxiu's rudeness and disrespect.

“You are a disciple of the Ge family. I do not wish to see a pearl tarnished. Come back with me, and I will help you clear your name no matter how great your sins are,” Ge Chang’an said calmly.

At this moment, the spirit of the descendant of Ge Zu was clearly displayed in him. Life and death were decided by his own words, and he could go to heaven or earth at will.

"What a grand ambition." Ge Chang'an sneered, "What are the conditions?"

"You need to explain your past and relationships clearly. As long as you can sever all ties cleanly, you will be second only to me in the Ge family."

"Brother!" Ge Fuyao's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but call out.

This is such a huge promise; the conditions and promises made by the clan before his departure were not like this at all.

“What a tremendous blessing!” Ge Shuangxiu laughed. “But there’s a condition.”

"What to change?"

“From now on, you are subordinate to me,” Ge Shuangxiu said calmly.

"Arrogant!" Ge Fuyao shouted sternly.

"It seems I have no choice but to use force."

Ge Chang'an remained calm. This outcome seemed to be within his expectations. Those who had cultivated to this level were all proud and arrogant, so how could they remain subservient to others for long?

At this moment, the patience in Ge Chang'an's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a cold indifference.

“You’ve invited one of the thirty-six great immortals, and I’ve invited one of mine. I’d like to see who is stronger.” Ge Shuangxiu grinned.

As soon as he finished speaking, divine thoughts flickered around him, revealing expressions of surprise and doubt.

The Linbu Method is the highest of the nine secrets of the Ge family. Inviting the thirty-six great immortals is extremely rare, and among the disciples of all generations, it is an extremely rare existence.

Ge Chang'an is known as the number one young person in the Ge family because he is the only one among this generation of disciples who can summon the thirty-six great immortals.

"What is that person saying? Did he also summon thirty-six great deities?"

"When did the Ge family produce such a master? I've never even heard of him."

"Interesting, why are they fighting amongst themselves? There's a secret..."

Inside the Blissful Villa, more and more people were alarmed and noticed the infighting among their own kind in this secluded corner.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you," Ge Chang'an said calmly.

His knowledge is extensive and profound, and he is not limited to the unique skills of the Ge family's Linbu method.

Rumble…

Ge Shuangxiu remained silent. His hand gestures resembled swords, touching the center of his mind. In an instant, a terrifying aura soared into the sky, causing a dramatic change in the heavens and unleashing boundless mysteries of the primordial spirit.

A terrifying wave emanated from him, spreading outwards in layers.

"Ge Shuangxiu!"

At this moment, Ge Fuyao's face changed color as she felt a chilling and terrifying pressure. Even standing behind Ge Chang'an, her primordial spirit trembled with fear...

Not only her, but all the onlookers were horrified at this moment.

They knew that the Chunyang Ge family, besides Ge Chang'an, had produced another remarkable disciple, yet he remained unknown and obscure.

"You've suffered such severe injuries, yet your primordial spirit still possesses such grandeur; you are truly an anomaly." Ge Chang'an's gaze sharpened to a single line.

"I won't kill you today, I'll just take you back and keep you in seclusion to reflect on your mistakes."

As he spoke, Ge Chang'an took a step forward, and the mysterious energy emanated from him like a gentle breeze, dissolving around his body.

In an instant, everyone was in a daze, as if they saw the external landscape of the primordial spirit. A mysterious voice resounded in their ears, like chanting sacrificial scriptures or reciting true texts.

"We humbly acknowledge that Qinghua has expounded its teachings, opening the gates to salvation from suffering. The scriptures have been transmitted in Western Shu, widely expounding the ways of deliverance. Now, the Jade Altar is surrounded by stars, the Precious Register is revealed like clouds, all are bathed in the solemnity of the Jade Palace, and witness the brilliance of the Jade Box..."

With each step Ge Chang'an took, his aura grew stronger. A gentle breeze approached, and it seemed as if there were lotus flowers clearly visible beneath his feet. In a daze, the sound of chanting scriptures grew even louder.

"Looking up to the Dharma frame, and down to the grace of the hall, through the accumulated merit of nine returns and seven transformations, all return to the Taiji. Relieving the suffering of the three evil paths and five kinds of pain, liberating them from the cycle of reincarnation. All beings, both the living and the dead, benefit. We must ascend the platform to welcome them..."

Amidst the grand and majestic chanting, Ge Chang'an let out a sharp shout, and three feet above his head, a Dharma platform appeared, radiating boundless light, with mysterious purple energy rising from the east.

"Taiyi Dharma, the Art of Salvation!?"

Inside the Blissful Abode, a cry of surprise rang out as people recognized the origin of this method.

"Saving people is not the way to save the dead. This is not a method to convert the souls of the dead, but rather to dissolve the human race in the mortal world, to strongly intimidate all living beings, and to bring their primordial spirits to take refuge in my precious platform to receive salvation."

This method is even more mysterious than the Taiyi Duwang Technique.

No one expected that Ge Chang'an was not only proficient in the Taiyi method, but also, on this extremely optimistic old site, he had comprehended the embers of incense and received a blessing from the unseen world. At this moment, it was as if he was divinely aided.

"Fellow Daoist, please ascend my Dharma platform!"

With a soft cry from Ge Chang'an, Ge Shuangxiu's body trembled violently, his aura suddenly collapsed, and a bright light shone from between his brows. A primordial spirit leaped out and was about to ascend the Xuanxuan Dharma Platform.

"In the Seven Treasures Forest, on the Seven Treasures Platform, treasure trees and flowers bloom. If you wish the deceased to ascend to the celestial realm, please ascend the Dharma King's Platform!"

Just then, a loud sound resounded, like a morning bell or evening drum, echoing in the quiet courtyard. At the same time, a figure flashed and blocked Ge Shuangxiu's primordial spirit, imprisoning it back.

"Old Ge, I'll help you get on the platform."

The newcomer spoke softly, and Ge Shuangxiu's eyes widened, then cleared. Upon seeing the newcomer, he couldn't help but scream in alarm.

"Zhang Fan!!"
