Pure Yang!

Chapter 448 Dividing Lives! Stepping into the Temple of Life, Mastering Life Skills

The night sky is dark, and the large moon hangs high in the sky.

In the space of my mind, a divine light suddenly appeared.

On the stone tree, the strange "pine cone" slowly dissipated, the crystal collapsed, and it turned into a wisp of pure energy, which merged with Zhang Fan's primordial spirit and returned to his body.

At this moment, within a small space in Zhang Fan's mind, it seemed as if a ball of fire was burning, blazing and surging, the bursting divine light as clear as the azure sky, seemingly there yet not there, the terrifying aura directly pierced through the body of the Horse King Colt, tearing apart the flesh of that powerful monk.

Such a horrifying scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, like a thunderbolt from the blue, shaking their very core.

"What...what kind of power is that?"

In the distance, Qu Zhe's expression changed drastically, and Shen Mingchan watched with trepidation.

Lin Haitang was utterly distraught.

As far as the eye could see, the blazing fire between Zhang Fan's brows was writhing, like a mysterious "hole," giving birth to that terrifying divine light.

Mountains and caves hold an extremely mysterious aura in Taoist practice.

Mountains are considered to be the places closest to the Dao of Heaven.

The cave, metaphorically representing a mysterious gateway, holds the secrets to the connection between the human body and the universe.

Therefore, ancient masters of Taoist alchemy, in order to comprehend pure yang and cultivate longevity, would inevitably enter deep mountains and blessed lands, hiding in secret grottoes.

hum...

At this moment, it was as if a "hole" opened between Zhang Fan's eyebrows. It was invisible, intangible, indescribable, and inexplicable... Hidden in the blazing firelight, the divine light it nurtured was extremely special. It flowed like air and floated like light, creating terrifying ripples that radiated outwards.

"Kid!"

Suddenly, the horse let out an angry roar, drawing everyone's attention back to the horse.

At this moment, the powerful leader from Xiling Mountain coughed up a mouthful of blood, his lower abdomen was a bloody mess, and through the piercing wound, one could even see the other side of the scene.

Amidst such gruesome injuries, a round ball of light emerged, its surface covered with cracks, surrounded by scattered rays of light, tangible yet intangible, as if it might collapse and shatter at any moment.

"That...that's the inner core..."

"He...he hasn't even reached the level of a Taoist master yet, and he's already broken through the Taoist inner core!?"

The crowd was horrified, staring at the blood-soaked horse king and then at the transformed Zhang Fan, their hearts filled with utter shock.

What is Neidan (internal alchemy)?
That is the great elixir of immortality, the foundation of pure yang. Once the inner elixir is formed, one can roam freely between heaven and earth, gradually reaching a state of perfect life, transcending the mortal body, free from the torment of disasters and diseases, and already faintly possessing the qualities of an immortal.

Damaging the inner elixir is to damage the foundation of one's life.

“He’s changed again.” Zhuang Yumin’s expression was solemn. She looked up and saw that the “pine cone” had disappeared. She didn’t know what kind of changes Zhang Fan had undergone, but she was certain that it was related to the “Dao Fruit” he was born with.

An inexplicable yet far-reaching change is quietly taking place in Zhang Fan.

At this moment, everyone only saw the horror before their eyes, unaware of the tremors to come.

"They're all going to die!"

Suddenly, Zhang Fan spoke. He seemed to have regained his clarity. The blazing fire between his brows slowly dissipated, and all the strange phenomena vanished. However, his aura remained terrifying, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone present.

"They're incredibly arrogant."

Amidst the intense aura of blood, Ma Wangju let out a startled roar, his eyes flashing like lightning, his entire body still radiating a terrifying aura.

"Kid, what do you think the Supreme Master realm is?"

"When one's life force is fully developed, one is no longer subject to the whims of fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse king steed's body trembled violently, its bones and muscles roaring like thunder.

The primordial spirit's radiance descended like true fire, burning throughout the entire body. Within that true fire, the round, radiant light began to heal, the cracks disappeared, and the scattered fragments around it began to reassemble.

"The mysteries of the inner alchemy are indeed the secrets of life and destiny." Zhang Wuming's expression was solemn.

Internal alchemy is the ultimate sublimation of life energy within the human body's cauldron, resulting in a leap in the level of life.

Such a high concentration of energy is enough to construct a life system that is simply unimaginable. Even if bones are broken, they can regenerate; if organs are damaged, they can heal; and even if the head is severed, one will not die immediately.

The vitality of this existence is unimaginably strong.

"Only those who possess my life can cultivate the golden lotus in the fire." Ma Wangju said coldly, revealing the secret of the inner elixir.

The primordial spirit, radiant as true fire, burns throughout the body, refining the elixir. Round and golden, it resembles a golden lotus, seizing the profound power of creation.

That is the appearance of a dragon and a tiger.

That is the transformation of Kan and Li.

That is the attainment of the ultimate life cultivation.

That is defying fate and changing one's destiny.

Sure enough, as the inner core spun, the injury to his lower abdomen healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rumble…

At this moment, Zhang Fan moved. He took a step forward, roaring like a tiger and howling like a dragon, his terrifying aura flowing like a river, and walked towards Ma Wangju.

"Stop him!" Lin Haitang shouted defiantly.

She had witnessed Zhang Fan's power at the Pure Land Temple; here, apart from Ma Wangju, no one could stop him.

At this moment, Ma Wangju is repairing his inner core and reversing his life force. He will be fully recovered in a short while.

Rumble…

As soon as he finished speaking, a whooshing sound came from behind, and the [Bright Cave Treasure Seal] came crashing down like a ball of white light.

Zhang Fan raised his hand and summoned the [Black Gold Ancient Seal]. A dim luster flowed across the seal, and a terrifying aura suddenly descended like a long night, instantly swallowing up the white light.

Immediately afterwards, the two seals collided, sparks flew, and cracks appeared on the [Bright Cave Treasure Seal].

"My magic seal!" Qu Zhe cried out in shock, his face contorted in pain, his cold gaze falling upon the [Black Gold Ancient Seal].

At this moment, everyone could see that the large black seal was no ordinary object; it could actually withstand the magic seal of Longhu Mountain.

"You die first!"

Without even looking, Zhang Fan raised his right hand, interlaced his five fingers, and an irresistible force, like the force of being trapped in the air, surged forth.

Qu Zhe let out a startled roar, and his primordial spirit involuntarily detached from his body and fell into Zhang Fan's palm.

"Suppress...suppress the spirit!?"

Zhuang Yumin's expression changed drastically. Seeing him again now, she was 100% certain that Zhang Fan was using the Wuwei Sect's [Binding Spirit] technique, only this time it was even more domineering and invincible.

"You..." Qu Zhe exclaimed in terror.

boom……

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan gathered his five fingers together, and the terrifying power directly crushed his primordial spirit, turning it into streams of light that scattered and rushed in all directions.

He wouldn't even deign to take a sip of such a primordial spirit.

“Dead…dead…”

Shen Mingchan was horrified. Qu Zhe, who was almost his equal and a top student of Magu Mountain, died right before her eyes, as easily as killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog in that man's hands.

At this moment, fear of Zhang Fan surged up again, and he couldn't help but regret why he had made a move just now.

A single wrong thought, a glimmer of hope, can lead to utter ruin.

hum...

However, Zhang Fan did not take him seriously at all. He took a step and was already in front of Ma Wangju.

Roar……

Almost at the same moment, the horse suddenly opened its eyes, its intense life force surging like a river, no less than before.

The power of the Supreme Realm was undeniable at this moment.

His leopard eyes widened in fury, and he let out a long howl.

The sound was extremely peculiar, exceeding the inherent frequency range of human voices. It was barely audible to the ear, yet it continued to amplify, violently impacting both life and death.

puff...

Zhuang Yumin, Shen Mingchan, and even Zhang Wuming were all pale, with blood gushing from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Their primordial spirits were trembling, as if they would faint at any moment.

"The vegetarian!" Zhang Wuming gritted his teeth.

Such a powerful being possesses a physical body that is not of ordinary construction, with intense life force and immense power.

In the blurry vision, Zhang Fan stood still. Suddenly, his figure became blurred, and a strange wave swept over everything, like a long, endless night.

“Primordial Spirit!” Zhang Wuming seemed to sense something.

The primordial spirit is the origin of life and the foundation of cultivation.

Once the primordial spirit emerges, it is as if gods and demons have descended, as if the universe has been overturned.

Buzz... The horse king colt seemed to be struck by lightning, as if its brow was about to split open.

He suddenly looked up at Zhang Fan, who was standing right in front of him, and his eyes filled with an inexplicable shock.

Those who do not enter the temple are nothing but ants, yet at this moment, his primordial spirit is actually suppressed by this little devil before him!?

"There's something wrong with your primordial spirit; the methods you cultivate are not those of the mortal world!" Ma Wangju roared in alarm.

Rumble…

As his primordial spirit was stripped away like dust, Zhang Fan raised his right hand high, holding a large seal, which was none other than the Black Gold Ancient Seal.

The seal fell, slamming into Ma Wangju's head. Even with his great life-saving cultivation and skull stronger than gold and stone, he could not withstand the ferocious power of the [Black Gold Ancient Seal].

In an instant, blood splattered, mixing with white fluid and splashing onto the ground.

The head of the horse king shattered instantly, half of its head was gone, and the black gold ancient seal smashed directly into the remaining head.

"broken!"

The shock of seeing the physical body of the powerful leader of the sect broken was too intense.

No one expected that Zhang Fan was so terrifying; his primordial spirit could actually suppress the head of the Zhaishou realm and destroy the foundation of his life force with a magic weapon.

Amidst the scattered blood energy, a primordial spirit soared into the sky—it was none other than Ma Wangju. He abandoned his physical body, erupting like a madman, his ferocious gaze fixed intently on Zhang Fan.

“Even if you step into the top of the vegetarian temple, you are not invincible,” Zhang Fan said coldly.

Once the mind of Tao arises, demonic appearances immediately appear.

From the day one embarks on spiritual practice, one is destined to face numerous tribulations.

Even the Pure Yang Limitless realm faces calamities in the mortal world, let alone the Supreme Master realm!

"Die!"

Ma Wangju's primordial spirit shone brightly, and at the same time, his broken body stood firm, with a burst of light rising from his dantian.

Cultivating both body and spirit, the primordial spirit and inner elixir are intertwined, and a terrifying aura rises.

The vitality of the powerful cultivator was truly extraordinary. Even though his head was smashed, his primordial spirit and inner core remained completely unaffected, his divine might still lingering, vast and boundless.

"He was facing certain death, yet he was unaware of the impending doom!"

"He was facing certain death, yet he was unaware of the impending doom!"

Zhang Fan gave a soft shout.

At the same time, a soft, delicate voice rang out, exactly the same as his words.

Zhang Fan stepped out with his right hand, which, like a sharp blade, pierced through the dantian of the mare's broken body and snatched the inner core.

At the same time, a shadow loomed over, as black as pure darkness, and swallowed up the spirit of the horse king.

Under the dim moonlight, the crowd was horrified as two figures devoured the life of a powerful leader in an instant.

One of them is Zhang Fan.

another……

Deep in the Cangshan Mountains, in the deep darkness of night, a graceful figure strode forward, her steps swift and elegant—it was none other than the successor of Sanqing Mountain…

"Yu Xuanji!"

Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed to a single line, a murderous intent suddenly rising within him, causing the world to turn upside down.

"Those who oppose us will only face death." Yu Xuanji's lips curled up slightly. She opened her mouth and, amidst the angry roars in her palm, swallowed the primordial spirit of the powerful Daoist leader.

The eerie chewing sound echoed through the desolate mountains.

"Yu Xuanji, how dare you drain my primordial spirit!?"

In the distance, Lin Haitang cried out, "That's the head of the Xiling Mountain sect!"

Yu Xuanji ignored him and just stared straight at Zhang Fan.

Click...

Suddenly, Zhang Fan raised his hand and put the inner core into his mouth. His primordial spirit light descended, burning like a blazing fire, refining everything, like refining medicine in a furnace.

The essence of that inner core, unlike cooking oil over a fire, ignited the true yang within Zhang Fan's body, gushing forth like nectar and spreading throughout his limbs and bones, and traversing his eight extraordinary meridians.

At this moment, Zhang Fan felt his body brimming with power, like a power bank about to explode. He only needed a trigger to complete the quantitative change into a qualitative one and touch that supreme realm.

At this moment, the mountains seemed to stand still, and all was silent.

Zhang Fan and Yu Xuanji faced each other from a distance.

Everyone stared intently at the two figures, feeling an overwhelming sense of unease.

The two were like mortal enemies, yet their every move was strikingly similar, as they divided up a powerful leader of the sect in such a brutal and bizarre way.

One swallow.

One eats one's life.

Life is as precious as these two people before me.

They are of the same kind, enemies and friends share the same origin!

"Yu Xuanji, this is the third time. From now on, there will be no way for you to survive, neither in heaven nor on earth," Zhang Fan said coldly.

"I said we would be together eventually."

Yu Xuanji's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Rumble…

A fierce wind surged, the clouds swirled, and the large, round moon seemed to evoke a sense of dread.

At that moment, Zhang Fan and Yu Xuanji moved simultaneously.

A hundred steps away, yet it feels like we're just a stone's throw away.

The two suddenly erupted and collided. The terrifying shockwave crushed the ground beneath their feet, creating a huge crater. Amidst the smoke and dust, the surrounding terrain continued to collapse, rapidly spreading outwards.

hum...

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out, like the cry of a sword, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Zhang Wuming, in particular, felt a sudden unease creep into his heart.

Just then, a figure flew out from the scattered dust, and it was none other than Zhang Fan.

His chest was ripped open by a terrifying force, extending all the way to his lower abdomen. The gruesome wound was even more horrific than that of the horse king colt, and a strange force clung to the wound, constantly eroding his life force.

"That is……"

Zhuang Yumin's beautiful eyes widened as she saw Yu Xuanji emerge from the smoke and dust. She was calm and composed, but a cloud of mist was swirling and changing in her palm, from which sword energy, capable of separating and reuniting, was born. It was three inches in diameter and possessed unparalleled mystery.

"Three inches of spiritual light!?" Zhuang Yumin looked at the strange treasure in disbelief.

The treasure of Luyin Mountain has unexpectedly appeared on Yu Xuanji.

"Zhang Fan, you wouldn't believe it, would you? This thing is called the Three-Inch Spiritual Light..."

Yu Xuanji held the strange "clouds" in her palm, looking down indifferently at Zhang Fan lying in a pool of blood.

"Many years ago, this treasure originally belonged to Zhang Lingzong, but unfortunately, he wasn't tough enough to protect it, and it eventually fell into the hands of my Sanqing Mountain," Yu Xuanji said calmly.

Zhang Fan remained silent.

He knew that many years ago, Zhang Lingzong had fled back to Xijiang, but was hunted down.

Su Xiangling, her childhood sweetheart, was implicated at that time and confined to her home for more than 20 years.

The three-inch spiritual light was also lost at that time. Now it seems that among the experts who chased Zhang Lingzong back then, there was Sanqing Mountain.

"Your life ends here. Return to my embrace," Yu Xuanji whispered indifferently.

"After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven."

Suddenly, Zhang Fan smiled.

With a soft voice, he touched the ground with his hand, and suddenly light filled the land, and the mountains and rivers were all contained within him.

"This is the realm of a true master!"

As a soft sigh fell, the crowd stared at the figure lying in the pool of blood, their faces gradually filled with astonishment.

"Hahaha... The dragon and snake have merged, and my life force has been perfected. I've waited for nearly a hundred years... and finally, I've waited for this moment."

Meanwhile, deep within the ancient and profound caves of Tongluo Mountain, a burst of wild laughter erupted, filled with a long-lost frenzy and excitement.

From that time on, the world was never the same again.
