Pure Yang!

Chapter 465 The End of the Primordial Spirit! Zhang Tiansheng's Legacy
There are countless scriptures on immortality throughout history, but how many have revealed the secrets of immortality?
The elixir of immortality, held atop the highest heavens, cares not for north, south, east, or west.

The Tao is inherently silent, and the Dharma is inherently empty; only this one Tao is the true skill.

This is the only true skill!

"The Ninth Law..."

"The true nature of immortals!?"

Amidst endless light and shadow, the name that had never appeared in the aristocratic families echoed within Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

Rumble…

A thunderbolt ripped through the sky, tearing apart the endless light and shadow. A terrifying shockwave rose from Wuming, almost ripping Hu Sanniang's primordial spirit apart.

It seemed that the ordinary, predetermined primordial spirit was simply unable to bear the immense power born from that name.

Rumble…

Thunder roared wildly, fire flew from the ground, the universe twisted as if collapsing, and the mountains and rivers sank as if in the end times.

Before my eyes, the sky was filled with dazzling light, but then the rain of flowers fell and withered. In the blink of an eye, the vast sky was plunged into darkness.

Heaven and earth seemed to be reborn from the opposite direction, arriving at that initial singularity.

Even the primordial spirit is born from this.

At this moment, Zhang Fan seemed to have reached the end of his primordial spirit.

Wow…

The heavy chains violently clashed and jolted, and within the Three Corpse Core, the still-dead consciousness slowly revived, following Zhang Fan's gaze toward the end of the primordial spirit.

hum...

At the singularity of heaven and earth, at the end of the primordial spirit, in that unknown chaos, suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared...

Those eyes slowly opened in the long night, gazing down upon the mortal world, seeing all of humanity.

Her indescribable eyes reflected a radiance that seemed to belong to another world.

hum...

Yujing City, Changhe Square.

Inside the brightly lit supermarket, Jiang Lai pushed a shopping cart, stood in front of the freezer, and selected milk.

"Jiang Lai, buy this one, it's fat-free, I'm currently on a diet."

Beside her, Wen He picked up a carton of milk and handed it over.

Rumble…

Just then, Jiang Lai's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and everything around her seemed to disappear, with no light in sight.

She suddenly looked up and turned around, and suddenly saw a pair of eyes appearing faintly in the endless chaos.

"The true nature of immortals!?"

Jiang Lai stared blankly at those eerie eyes, murmuring softly.

call……

Just then, Jiang Lai walked toward those eerie eyes. With each step she took, her body became increasingly blurry, and the surrounding scenery kept fissuring and flickering.

Rumble…

Finally, Jiang Lai stepped into that endless chaos, and her figure completely disappeared.

Then, those huge, eerie eyes gradually disappeared, as if they had closed.

Inside the supermarket, the lights flickered, as if there was a circuit malfunction.

Wen He subconsciously looked up, then glanced at him. Her hand holding the milk was still in mid-air, but there was nothing in front of her; she was alone next to the shopping cart.

"Hmm? Jiang Lai... Jiang Lai..."

"Where have you been?"

Wen He couldn't help but exclaim. She looked around, searching among the passing crowd.

……

Zhang Fan's primordial spirit leaped out of that endless chaos, and his pair of eerie eyes seemed to disappear from the void.

At that moment, he felt that the sensation he had just experienced was both so real and so illusory.

Even his primordial spirit seemed to exist between reality and nothingness.

"What was that just now?" Zhang Fan murmured softly, taking a long time to recover from that detached feeling.

"You saw it!?"

Just then, the heavy clanging of chains rang out, followed by a deep, hoarse voice.

"You saw it too!?"

"The Nine Laws are supreme. Do you know why the Ninth Law has never appeared?" the deep, hoarse voice suddenly said.

"why?"

"It is said that the Ninth Dharma will only appear when the Dharma-ending Age arrives, at which time all sorts of incredible manifestations will occur."

That mysterious, deep voice resounded within Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

"You heard that unseen name, a seemingly insignificant action, yet its impact is extremely profound."

"This means... this lifetime is the most precise time."

"You are an extremely important link in that cause and effect. Perhaps you can find the Ninth Law, or perhaps it is because you heard this name that the destined person can obtain the Ninth Law..."

That mysterious, deep voice echoed in the deepest part of Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

"What exactly is the Ninth Law?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"The appearance of the Ninth Law means that someone in this generation will become an immortal."

"Become an immortal!?"

Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat. For cultivators, it was an ethereal legend, yet it was the ultimate goal that everyone yearned for.

"Not bad, you've become an immortal..."

"The end of the Dharma has arrived, and there is only one person in the world who can become an immortal."

"That was also the last immortal to achieve immortality throughout history."

"The last one!?" Zhang Fan's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

“The Three Corpse Taoist… he must have explored the mysteries of the Ninth Law.”

Zhang Fan suddenly asked.

How could the former number one expert in the world not have explored the mysteries of the Nine Methods, especially since he himself was a cultivator of the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate?

clang... clang... clang...

Just then, the clanging of heavy chains rang out again, like the ebb and flow of the tide, eventually fading into the endless darkness, along with the mysterious aura, and disappearing without a trace.

"He's becoming more and more like a human being." Zhang Fan frowned.

Although the Three Corpse Core is merely a backup of the primordial spirit's memories, the Three Corpse Core within his body has already sprouted a nascent consciousness and is gradually becoming different.

Zhang Fan always felt that the Three Corpse Essence Pill he had swallowed...

has a problem!
"I'll have to ask my mom when I get the chance," Zhang Fan thought to himself.

Li Linglong is probably still trapped in the great calamity of [Vacuum Refinement], and it is unknown where she is hiding.

hum...

Zhang Fan suppressed his doubts and thoughts, and his primordial spirit returned to his body.

On the deck, the cool night breeze brought back a long-lost sense of reality.

Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes. Xu Jiuzhi and Lin Jianyue stood there blankly, seemingly still unable to recover from the terrifying sense of oppression they had just experienced.

As for Hu San Niang, she had already fallen straight down there, her breath extremely weak.

"Third...Third Sister...Third Sister..."

Just then, Xu Jiuzhi finally came to her senses, bent down to check, and her expression changed.

At this moment, Hu Sanniang was no longer as composed as before. Her eyes were closed, she was motionless, and she was only breathing. It was a pity that such a fine body was being wasted.

“Mr. Zhao, I know that Third Sister was rude and offended you just now… but for my sake and for Yueyue’s sake, could you please be lenient and let her go?” Xu Jiuzhi said hurriedly. Clearly, she had a close relationship with Hu Third Sister.

"Yueyue..."

Xu Jiuzhi looked at Lin Jianyue, her eyes filled with three parts apology and seven parts pleading.

"Maybe... we'll find it useful to keep it," Lin Jianyue couldn't help but say.

She was quick-witted and naturally knew the value of Hu San Niang.

The Hu family is not only influential in the Beijing area, but also wields considerable power in the Northeast, particularly in the region between the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River.

Zhang Fan remained silent and walked straight to Hu San Niang's side.

He was willing to help for two reasons: firstly, there was no life-or-death feud between them, and secondly, the fox had a past connection with Zhang Tiansheng.

The seeds sown in the past are now bearing fruit.

hum...

Zhang Fan reached out his right hand and landed on Hu San Niang's forehead, and wisps of strange energy were separated from her primordial spirit and emanated from it.

If it were an ordinary person, such a transformation of the primordial spirit into vapor would probably result in a vegetative state.

This is the wondrous use of cultivating the "Three Corpses Illuminating Fate," which allows one to separate and detach one's primordial spirit, similar to the wondrous use of the "Dividing Spirit Technique."

The vaporized and separated primordial spirit energy, like a power bank, slowly flowed into Hu San Niang's brow.

Even if an ordinary person's primordial spirit were completely destroyed, it would be difficult to heal Hu San Niang's injuries. However, Zhang Fan cultivated the [Divine Demon Holy Embryo], and his primordial spirit was naturally incredibly powerful.

At this moment, the primordial spirit energy he extracted through vaporization was almost equivalent to Hu Sanniang's entire primordial spirit. Such a huge consumption was less than one percent of Zhang Fan's.

"Woo..."

Finally, Hu San Niang let out a painful whimper, her brows furrowed, and slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jiuzhi couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan, her eyes filled with even greater astonishment.

Although she had not yet reached the level of the head of the sect, she was, after all, from the pure Yang Xu family, and she still had a keen eye. She noticed that Hu San Niang's severe injuries had recovered considerably in the blink of an eye.

Such methods are not something that ordinary mountain sects or aristocratic families can train.

At this moment, Xu Jiuzhi became even more curious about Zhang Fan's identity.

"You're alright now, but it's best not to engage in any more magical battles for the next six months, or you'll face certain death."

Zhang Fan spoke softly and indifferently, his words carrying a warning tone.

"Thank you very much..."

Hu Sanniang looked at Zhang Fan with a much clearer gaze, no longer displaying the composure and confidence she had shown earlier.

"Shall we continue discussing the business?"

"From now on, if Miss Lin needs anything, just say the word, and the Hu family will do its utmost," Hu Sanniang said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyue glanced at Zhang Fan, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Although Zhang Fan subdued Hu Sanniang with force, it shouldn't have warranted such treatment.

"Can I... talk to you alone?" Hu Sanniang suddenly asked.

"With me?"

"Ok!"

Hu San Niang looked at Zhang Fan with pleading eyes, her watery eyes revealing a hint of pleas. She was so charming and pitiful that she truly lived up to her reputation as a vixen.

"Ok."

There are quiet rooms on the ship.

Xu Jiuzhi was incredibly shrewd; she immediately made arrangements, leading Zhang Fan and Hu Sanniang to the quiet room on the boat.

After taking care of everything, she tactfully withdrew.

"Yueyue, just who is this friend of yours?"

"Zhizhi, don't ask. Asking too much won't do you any good," Lin Jianyue said solemnly.

"Do you still need to hide anything from me? Is he really just your friend? No..."

"What are you thinking about? Of course not..."

The two voices faded into the distance, and in the blink of an eye, they were out of the cabin.

In the quiet room, only Zhang Fan and Hu Sanniang remained.

"What is it? Speak up," Zhang Fan said calmly.

Hu San Niang shouldn't have any recollection of what just happened within her primordial spirit, as her primordial spirit is incapable of handling such information.

"you……"

Hu Sanniang looked at Zhang Fan, hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you from the Zhang family?"

"The Zhang of Nan Zhang!"

"Um!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a sharp light and a murderous intent rising within him.

Hu Sanniang was startled by Zhang Fan's sudden change in expression. Logically speaking, with her cultivation level at the Zhai Shou realm, she should be far more powerful than this. However, after the ordeal just now, she was nothing more than a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken in front of Zhang Fan.

“Back then… the last time I saw the diviner, he said, ‘What is sown in the past will surely bear fruit in the future.’ Perhaps our meeting today is not a coincidence…” Hu San Niang hurriedly explained.

The last time she saw the divination was that night, in front of the small building in the Xu family's water mansion.

Not long after that night, the Nan Zhang clan was wiped out.

“That night, I received divine guidance. Just now, the moment you entered my primordial spirit, the fluctuations were very similar to his… very similar…” Hu San Niang said in a daze.

In fact, she had a dazed feeling when she fought with Zhang Fan just now.

The young man before him seemed familiar, gradually merging with that figure, possessing the same astonishing and unbelievable methods.

“Divine divination…” Zhang Fan murmured softly, neither confirming nor denying.

“If you are truly from the Nan Zhang lineage, then my Hu family will follow your lead from now on,” Hu San Niang said softly.

Sixty years ago, she was just a little fox who had not yet achieved her cultivation, but that man left a very deep impression on her. His charm was so captivating that it changed the world. His image was like a brand that she could never forget in her young heart.

Not to mention, years later, when that man returned to the place, he even gave her some guidance.

"Hu Clan... does your Hu Clan have such a relationship with the Nan Zhang lineage?" Zhang Fan still did not express his opinion.

"Actually... we don't have any real relationship. The Nan Zhang lineage is the direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, so why would they look down on wild mountain spirits like us?" Hu San Niang said with a wry smile.

"However, we also joined in the fun at Shen Gua's wedding back then, so we can be considered to have some kind of fate," Hu San Niang said softly.

During that grand wedding, one of the members of the Hu family secretly followed them to Jiangnan. Later, the He family worshipped him as a deity and he became a disciple of the spirit medium.

"It is said that the He family had been around for three or four generations, but not long ago, they were wiped out by the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance because they colluded with the Wuwei Sect," Hu Sanniang sighed.

"The He family!?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned strange.

He had almost forgotten about the He family of Yujing. They were the first family he had destroyed after descending from Zhenwu Mountain. He never expected that they had such a connection.

No wonder Zhang Lingzong once helped the He family when he was young, bringing them twenty years of good fortune.

"So, you're doing this entirely to repay a debt of gratitude?" Zhang Fan said calmly.

"I suppose so," Hu San Niang murmured.

It's hard to describe the feeling; perhaps it's also about maintaining a "ridiculous" connection with that man, even though he no longer exists in this world.

“What goes around comes around…” Zhang Fan said thoughtfully, “Perhaps your meeting with him was not a coincidence after all.”

Did he say anything else to you that day?

“He…” Hu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then said, “He said… he put some things in the underwater palace…”

"You put something there!?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

“He said that a great calamity might befall him in the future, and if he were to meet with misfortune, this would be his legacy, which only the descendants of Nan Zhang could claim,” Hu San Niang whispered.

"Grandpa's inheritance!"

"Isn't that my family fortune?!" Zhang Fan's eyes lit up.
