Pure Yang!

Chapter 404 Two Great Immortals! The Ge Family Celestial Master
As dusk fades, the long night slowly approaches.

The last rays of the sun have faded, leaving behind a gloomy, dark expanse.

Under the dim yellow streetlights, Zhang Fan walked into the quiet courtyard and stood in front of Ge Shuangxiu.

In an instant, his primordial spirit left his body, and the resulting ripples brought Ge Shuangxiu's primordial spirit back into his body.

"Zhang Fan!"

"who?"

Ge Chang'an's gaze sharpened, his attention shifting from Ge Shuangxiu to Zhang Fan, who was a complete stranger.

"Taiyi Technique!"

Looking at the mysterious altar, Zhang Fan knew that Ge Chang'an was no ordinary person. He could save people but not the dead. Although both were Taiyi methods, the [Save People Technique] was far more domineering and extraordinary than the [Save the Dead Technique].

"Who are you? Why are you interfering in the Ge family's internal affairs?" Ge Chang'an said in a deep voice.

"Drifting in the mortal world, I have no roots; nameless and without surname, I enter the gate of mystery," Zhang Fan murmured.

"Although you have obtained the wondrous methods of Taiyi, you have only scratched the surface. How dare you ask me my name?"

Upon hearing this, all the onlookers in the Blissful Abode were moved, and Ge Chang'an's gaze turned chillingly intense.

"Extremely arrogant!"

Ge Fuyao stared intently at Zhang Fan's unfamiliar face and couldn't help but let out a low shout.

His elder brother was a descendant of the Chunyang Ge family, a dignified descendant of the Ge ancestor, who had obtained the authentic lineage and was a true prodigy of heaven, a Taoist seedling. Since he began his cultivation, who had ever been disrespectful or disrespectful to him?

No one has ever dared to make such arrogant remarks in front of him, let alone a peer.

"Fine, since you say I've only scratched the surface, how about you step onto the stage and give it a try?" Ge Chang'an sneered.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Zhang Fan said calmly.

"Please ascend my Dharma platform, fellow Daoist." Ge Chang'an held the mudra with both hands, and the mysterious Dharma platform shone even brighter.

"Zhang Fan..."

Ge Shuangxiu's expression changed slightly, and he was about to stop him when Zhang Fan's primordial spirit took a step forward and ascended the mysterious platform.

"Young man, you are so arrogant! That is the essence of the Taiyi Method."

"The Taiyi Method, it's been many years since anyone has mastered such a Daoist technique. This kid from the Ge family is truly extraordinary."

"Who is this young man? He is so ignorant of his own limitations. Once he enters the Dharma platform, he will perish both in body and soul."

Within the Blissful Abode, there are many highly skilled individuals who naturally understand the significance of Ge Chang'an's ingenious technique.

Although the Taiyi Method is not as domineering as the Northern Emperor Method, it has its own unique features, especially this [Salvation Technique], which contains the Great Refinement of Water and Fire, and can cause the primordial spirit to perish and the origin to be lost.

Rumble…

As soon as Zhang Fan's primordial spirit ascended the Xuanxu Dharma Platform, he saw that outside his primordial spirit, sweet springs gushed forth like the Yellow River, disrupting the universe, sweeping across rivers and lakes, causing countless living beings to sink into oblivion, and all kinds of sins to be cleansed.

"Hua Chi Water Refining!"

No matter how powerful you are, once your primordial spirit enters the Mysterious Water Pool, all your past deeds will be in vain and your origins will be lost.

In ancient times, to guide the souls of the dead, they had to undergo water purification to cleanse them of their past sins. When a cultivator's primordial spirit entered this pool of nectar, all their cultivation would be lost. When the sweet spring gushed forth, there would be unparalleled terror.

At that moment, all everyone could hear was the sobbing of the spring, as if it came from the netherworld, and even the wailing of ghosts, which sent chills down their spines.

"Water is born from the Taiyi River, but true water is not truly real!"

On the Xuanxu Dharma Platform, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit stood still. He suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the surging sweet spring into his belly. In an instant, within his primordial spirit, corresponding to the human kidneys, a dark and mysterious color surged, creating the wondrous Huachi, the Taiyi True Water.

"you……"

Ge Chang'an's expression changed drastically. He had never seen anyone who had undergone the art of salvation, ascended the Xuanxu Dharma Platform, and was not subject to the tribulation of water refining. His primordial spirit remained unmoved, and the Taiyi Descended True Essence Returned to Liquid.

"In the Northern Dark Land, the Black Water Sovereign... this brat's primordial spirit possesses such grandeur, standing undefeated in the Jade Pool, enduring the refinement of water without falling!?"

Inside the Blissful Abode, countless divine thoughts intertwined, each revealing an expression of surprise and doubt.

At this moment, even a fool could see that this was not a reckless young man, but someone with great skills who had no taboos.

Rumble…

Just then, the black water and sweet spring water dissipated, and endless true fire surged forth, as if countless talismans had been miraculously created, transforming into streams of fire energy that poured into Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

The True Flame of the Fiery Swamp is the Great Calamity of Fire Refining, capable of causing all tangible things to perish, annihilating all beings, and leading them to rebirth in the Pure Land.

The two tribulations of water and fire are crucial for the rebirth of wandering souls and for cultivation.

"The Great Mysterious Fire shall circulate throughout my body!"

Zhang Fan let out a long roar, and the true fire within his body surged forth, flowing with each breath to the point corresponding to the human heart.

Rumble…

The next moment, within his primordial spirit, a ball of fire flickered in his heart, echoing the black water in his kidneys.

Through the crucible of fire and water, calamity ends and destiny begins anew.

"To follow the natural order is to be human, to defy it is to become an immortal, this is..."

"Whose disciple is this? His primordial spirit is untouched by tribulation and impervious to water and fire, yet he dares to steal immortality through a rebellious method?"

"Incredible! This young man's primordial spirit is terrifyingly powerful. What kind of alchemy technique is he cultivating?"

A series of incredulous gazes fell upon Zhang Fan.

I originally thought that Ge Chang'an had obtained the Pure Yang lineage and the true teachings of Ancestor Ge, and his Taiyi technique was already incredibly amazing. I never expected that this young man whose name I don't know is even more terrifying. His primordial spirit entered the Dharma platform and he was actually unaffected by the tribulations!
"Time stands still in the mountains, yet a thousand years have passed in the world. Has the world become so crazy? I have lived deep in the mountains for so long, I never knew that young people these days could be so terrifying?"

An old Taoist priest's mind was in turmoil, revealing a deep disbelief.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a solemn look finally appeared in Ge Chang'an's eyes. He could even ignore his salvation technique. With such abilities, he was definitely not an unknown person.

“Ge Chang’an, I would say that your Taiyi Method is only superficial, and that is all there is to it.”

At that moment, Zhang Fan stood horizontally on the Xuanxu Dharma Platform, with water and fire surging around him, creating a terrifying and earth-shattering aura.

"I also have a method, please observe it."

With a slam, Zhang Fan formed a hand seal, a majestic and righteous gesture, which was none other than the Lion Seal.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious phantom rose up proudly, revealing a magnificent throne for a Dharma King, a majestic jade platform with nine distinct lotuses and jewels scattered everywhere.

"This is……"

"Taiyi Technique!?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide with surprise. No one had expected that this mysterious young man would also be able to use the Taiyi Technique.

“This seat is no ordinary seat; the Heavenly Venerable Who Saves from Suffering once sat here.”

"Now that the Dharma has been established, all hells will be liberated."

"The Supreme Heavenly Venerable sits on a lotus throne, with the Ten Kings of Hell standing on either side."

"The judge unfolds the Book of Life and Death, summoning the departed souls to receive salvation."

In the void, the sound of chanting scriptures could be faintly heard. A lotus throne rose up, and a terrifying pressure swept over the sky and the divine light spread everywhere, crushing the mysterious platform beneath it into dust and scattering it into nothingness.

"Excellent, what a magnificent Taiyi technique!"

Ge Chang'an roared, his eyes gleaming: "Fellow Daoist, your skills are impressive! I swear here today that from this day forward, I will never use the Taiyi Dharma Lineage in front of others!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had not expected that the heir of the Ge family would be so ambitious. Seeing that he had lost a move in the battle between his own kind, he actually made a solemn vow to abandon this method.

Faced with such unyielding integrity, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think more highly of the other party.

"I have another method; please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Chang'an formed a hand seal, a bright light shone from between his brows, and incense seemed to flicker above his head, as if a deity had descended upon him. "Nine-Character Mantra, the ultimate technique of the Linbu!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, their eyes wide open, unwilling to miss a single detail.

You should know that this is a secret that Ge Zu did not pass on, not to mention that Ge Chang'an was accompanied by thirty-six great immortals.

hum...

Just then, three feet above his head, in the depths of the void, a mysterious figure flickered faintly. He was truly handsome and dignified, with ears reaching his shoulders and eyes shining brightly. He wore a three-peaked phoenix hat and a pale yellow robe. Gold-embroidered boots were paired with dragon-patterned stockings, and a jade belt adorned with eight-treasure floral patterns. A crescent-shaped slingshot hung at his waist, and he held a three-pointed, double-edged spear in his hand.

"Thirty-six Great Immortals!"

"The True Lord of the Wondrous Dao of Pure Source!?"

Everyone was in a daze, and not far away, Ge Fuyao showed an expression of infatuation and reverence.

Among the younger generation of the Ge family, only Ge Chang'an had invited the Thirty-Six Great Immortals, and this immortal was renowned in the mortal world. Some might not know his background if he was called "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun," but this immortal also had another resounding name...

Erlang Shen, the Manifestation Saint!

Rumble…

Ge Chang'an's aura grew increasingly terrifying, raging like a raging flood, inexhaustible like the rotation of mountains and rivers, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire Paradise Villa.

“I uphold the laws of the Ge clan, and no matter your name, you will be subject to divine punishment today,” Ge Chang’an said expressionlessly.

At this moment, he seemed to be the true successor of the Ge family, of the Chunyang lineage.

Rumble…

Three feet above his head, the phantom of the True Lord of the Pure Source Mystic Way grew increasingly terrifying, and the strange weapon in his hand emitted a seven-colored mystical light.

The mysterious power of heaven and earth is revealed, a fierce three-pointed double-edged spear.

With the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, one manifests sainthood, free to roam in all directions.

"As expected of the Pure Yang lineage, the methods passed down by Ancestor Ge are so special."

"Only when one's cultivation in Taoism reaches this level can one experience a dazzling display of extraordinary phenomena. These phenomena cannot be observed unless one's primordial spirit has reached a high level of perfection; otherwise, one will be lost in the maze."

"The Chunyang family has been able to pass down to this generation because each generation has produced outstanding talents. This is the general trend and also the blessing of the ancestral master."

A series of divine thoughts intertwined, and no one would look down on Ge Chang'an just because he was young.

With such means, one can easily make a name for oneself in the Taoist world.

"The Taoist teachings passed down by Ge Zu."

Zhang Fan sighed, "The Linbu Method is a culmination of the Taoist art of 'inviting gods and immortals to descend,' where immortals and gods descend to earth to bestow blessings. It is quite similar to the 'Investiture of Gods Method' of the Zhang family of Dragon and Tiger."

However, the two are fundamentally different; the former relies on external forces to invoke divine intervention in the unseen realm.

However, the method of bestowing gods was even more domineering, allowing people to receive incense offerings in the mortal world, and to be both gods and saints in human form.

"Be careful, fellow Taoist."

Ge Chang'an's voice echoed in the vast sky above the Paradise Villa, gentle and boundless, ethereal and ever-changing.

"Zhang Fan, let me do it."

Just then, a cold voice rang in Zhang Fan's ears. He turned around and saw that Ge Shuangxiu's breath had recovered slightly. His eyes burned as he stared intently at Ge Chang'an.

The tacit understanding between Ge Shuangxiu and Zhang Fan was unspoken. He took a step forward, and his primordial spirit left his body.

Zhang Fan didn't say much. In the end, this was a family matter of the Ge family, and also Ge ​​Shuangxiu's own karmic calamity.

“Ge Chang’an, you know the ancestral master’s methods, and so do I.”

With a soft shout, Ge Shuangxiu formed a hand seal, and three feet above his head, a phantom rose proudly, with three heads and eight arms, wielding magical artifacts that whirled like wind and fire, a red ribbon like a fire dragon, a sharp spear that shook mountains, and a golden ring that moved heaven and earth...

Her offspring are naturally extraordinary, and her youthful beauty is unlike that of ordinary people.

He carries six divine weapons, and his flight and transformations are boundless.

Now, by imperial decree of the Jade Emperor, the Sea Assembly is bestowed the title of Three Altars.

"This is……"

"Thirty-six Great Immortals!!"

"The Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas!?"

Inside the Blissful Abode, a buzz of excitement filled the air. No one had expected to witness the splendor of two great immortals today.

"That was the great immortal whom Ge Shuangxiu had invited..."

In the distance, Ge Fuyao looked somewhat dazed. She had heard back in her clan that Ge Shuangxiu, like Ge Chang'an, had also mastered the highest level of the Linbu Technique in this life. But seeing it with her own eyes, the shock and jealousy still filled her heart.

As a disciple of the Ge family, Ge Fuyao was well aware of the significance of inviting this great deity.

Her talent was second to none in the Ge family, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only summon seventy-two minor deities.

Such a difference is like the difference between clouds and mud, an insurmountable chasm no matter how hard one tries.

That is why the Ge family values ​​Ge Shuangxiu so much, and they will not pursue any of his crimes as long as he can sever ties with the past.

Thinking of this, Ge Fuyao clenched her hands tightly, feeling a faint anger. She was angry at herself for not having such a destiny and fortune.

"My God, the ancestral graves of the Ge family are truly blessed! Two great immortals have emerged from this generation!"

"Such a lineage, even one of them could bring great prosperity to the clan, but now there are actually two."

The Blissful Abode was in an uproar. Who would have thought that such a prelude would be held before the grand ceremony of the Transcendent Master's acceptance of disciples? Even among the younger generation, it was equally spectacular.

If such a lineage were to originate from one's own clan or lineage, one would be overjoyed.

Of course, some people hold different opinions. They believe that the emergence of one such successor is a great blessing for the sect, but if two emerge, the outcome is uncertain...

After all, there can only be one sun in the sky!
"You really are someone special." Ge Chang'an's eyes revealed admiration.

He knew that Ge Shuangxiu was still recovering from serious injuries, and that the fact that he could still use the ultimate technique of the Linbu and summon a great immortal under such circumstances truly showed that he had extraordinary talent.

The more this was the case, the more he realized that words alone could not win back the heart of such a person.

"Then today I will completely subdue you."

Ge Chang'an's eyes sharpened, and he had no other thoughts. In an instant, the phantom of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun trembled, and the three-pointed double-edged spear in his hand roared incessantly, like a thunderous roar.

hum...

Almost simultaneously, Ge Shuangxiu also moved. The Three Altars Sea Gathering Great God's red ribbons fluttered around him, creating chaos and terrifying fluctuations that surged like a raging tide, sweeping through the dark night.

"They're fighting! They're fighting..."

At this moment, everyone became excited, looking forward to this sacred battle.

"That's it for now."

Suddenly, a detached voice rang out in the quiet courtyard. Almost at the same moment, the phantoms of two great immortals slowly dissipated in the sound.

"A Celestial Master!?"

Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat. With a single word, the magic was instantly broken, and the ultimate techniques of Ge Shuangxiu and Ge Chang'an were broken. Such a method was beyond doubt; it must be the work of a Celestial Master.

Zhang Fan subconsciously turned his head and saw a man walk out. He looked to be in his fifties, but his hair was completely white and there were faint burn marks on his neck.

"The Celestial Master of the Ge Family!"

A murmur arose around them, filled with deep awe.

Zhang Fan was stunned when he saw the person who had come. He felt that the face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it when he was a child.

"Uncle Erdan!?" Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, his expression turning strange.
