Chapter 180 Obtaining the Yellow Spring Evil

Quanzhou.

Several huge third-level defensive formations are concentrated in one place and have been fully activated. The resulting giant rune barrier spreads for hundreds of miles, covering the sky and the sun.

Every day, these formations consume nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

But at this time, Master Nie Jing didn't care at all about such huge losses.

He guarded the entrance of Huangquan Palace day and night, monitoring the situation inside through the talisman array.

"Reporting to the Master, the outer laws have been cracked, and so far everything is going smoothly."

Listening to his subordinates' reports, Master Nie Jing nodded slightly and said, "Continue to monitor the situation in the palace. Report any abnormalities to me at any time."

However, a hint of uncontrollable excitement flashed in his eyes.

The original goal of the invasion was to obtain evil spirits, but this ancient palace was better preserved than he had imagined.

This means that there is a high possibility of inherited martial arts techniques inside!
Looking back, he was able to successfully reach where he is today from being a hopeless casual cultivator who had no hope of becoming an immortal, a waste who finally established his foundation at the age of sixty-three.

He relied on the incomplete copy of the Huangquan secret technique that he had obtained by chance, as well as the rest of the Huangquan Dao inheritance that he had snatched away later.

Just the remaining secret techniques are enough to help the Divine Fire Sect rise.

If you can get all the inheritance, especially the legendary "Secret Book of Huangquan Zhenjun's Judgment of the World" to guide your practice.

Then not only would it be easy to occupy Hezhou, but it would also be possible to unify the Southern Region and even break through the Nascent Soul stage to invade the Eastern Region.

By that time, the name of True Lord Nie Jing will be known throughout the five regions of east, south, west, north and center.

And now, there are only three days left for him to obtain this supreme treasure.

Once the third level of the law is lifted, Huangquan Palace will no longer restrict Jindan stage cultivators from entering.

At that time, he will personally take over the secret teachings of Huangquan, and then lead the Divine Fire Sect to create a new era.

At this time, in the Huangquan Palace.

The situation is completely different from what the outside world imagines.

"I can tell you how to obtain the secret book left by True Monarch Huangquan. It is the most powerful secret method of inheritance in the entire Southern Region."

"This is already the core location of the palace, and also the most critical area."

"You don't have to look anymore. There's really no other hiding place."

The spirit of the weapon followed Xiao Chen slowly, watching him circle around the entire underground palace.

Watching him check every gold brick and every eternal lamp along the way, he seemed to be digging three feet into the ground.

What's wrong with this person?

If the spirit of the weapon had the power to interfere with the outside world, he would definitely capture Xiao Chen and stuff him into the golden coffin.

But the problem is that it doesn't have it, so it can only continue to pretend.

"The master left all his treasures in the golden coffin."

"No matter what you want to obtain, you need to follow my guidance to open the golden coffin."

"If you continue to refuse to cooperate, I will deprive you of your right to inherit the inheritance."

In the end, the spirit of the weapon even began to threaten.

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I just wanted to get familiar with the place."

At this time, it is better to pretend to be accommodating.

The main reason was that he had just searched around and really couldn't find the road leading to other places, nor did he find any clues of evil spirits.

In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Chen was thinking about whether he should directly ask the other party about the location of the evil spirit.

However, when the words came to his lips, he was cautious and did not reveal his real goal.

As the saying goes, one should always be on guard against others.

Although this spirit weapon does not look like an enemy, it seems to have mistaken itself for the successor of Huangquan Dao.

But it may not necessarily be one of our own.

You know, Huangquan Road is a demonic road.

The morals of the demon cultivators have always been not very good, and stabbing one's own people in the back is a common occurrence for them.

According to legend, the spirit of a weapon is determined by its owner.

Therefore, Xiao Chen had to be cautious and could not fully trust the other party even if he was a spirit of the weapon.

It’s better to pretend to cooperate first and see what it is up to.

So he smiled and asked, "What do you think, how should we carry out our inheritance ceremony?"

"I will definitely follow your instructions."

Hearing Xiao Chen say this, the weapon spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally figured it out, then it's not too late."

"Come over here, I'll give you a command."

"Open the golden coffin according to the method I taught you."

what?
"Open it directly?"

Xiao Chen turned around and asked, "Is this appropriate? Isn't it a bit disrespectful?"

He still remembered that his current identity was the successor of Huangquan Dao.

Logically speaking, shouldn't we respect our ancestors?

Although it was a blurred image, the hair of the spirit beside it was almost standing up.

No, you really think you are the successor of Huangquan Dao, right? Who are you acting for?
So when you were walking around here before, were you being respectful?

As a spirit of the weapon, how much respect do you have for me?
But it still persuaded him: "Hahaha, this is a very nice gesture from the young man."

"But you don't have to worry about these etiquette issues. Just follow my arrangements. Would I deliberately harm you?"

"The master's belongings are all inside the golden coffin. Of course, we have to open it to take them out."

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Chen immediately understood. It turned out that this demon from Huangquan Dao used the coffin as a large storage box.

As expected of a demon cultivator, this idea is truly perverted.

So he followed the instructions of the spirit and began to remove the various restrictions on the coffin.

After three hours of unremitting efforts.

The forty-nine restrictions used to seal the golden coffin were successfully broken.

The buildings in the miniature city on the coffin lid also underwent significant changes.

Originally, a large part of these restrictions were related to the numerous tests in the city, but now those links are naturally gone.

This strange change also attracted the attention of hundreds of monks inside.

However, they didn't know the inside story and thought it was a normal change or a change caused by someone else.

Except for being a little more careful, they continue to hunt each other or solve puzzles and hunt for treasures.

At the same time, the Jindan Zhenren who were trying to break the restrictions outside were also surprised to find that some of the original restrictions had suddenly weakened or disappeared.

Lei Yin Zhenren was a little surprised: "Fellow Daoist Yaohua, I didn't expect that you are so good at formations."

"With your help, the cracking progress has been much faster."

He did some mental calculations: "At this rate, we should be able to help the younger generation open a safe exit in ten hours."

Yao Hua Zhenren, who had just rushed to help, was a little surprised when he heard this.

She actually didn't do anything, and the restrictions she was responsible for disappeared on their own.

I wanted to explain, but others thought I was being modest.

Yusha Zhenren even advised: "Daoyou Yaohua, please don't hide your incompetence on purpose."
.
In addition to this side, Master Nie Jing on the other side also noticed something unusual.

The third level of the law, which was originally going to take three days to crack, suddenly became much more fragile. It is estimated that it will take another day and a half to crack it.

In addition to being surprised, he also forced himself to sit cross-legged to calm his mind.

Prepare in advance for the possible battle that may happen next.

At the same time, he sent people to inform the rest of his comrades and asked them to start preparing for war.

This time, I guess I will have to fight head-on with the righteous Jindan cultivators.

The situation outside was turbulent, and the spirits in the palace began to get nervous.

With the restriction lifted, the next thing to do is to push open the coffin lid and trick Xiao Chen into lying in it.

"First, release the eighteen buckles at the front and back, then rotate these five positions in turn."

"Finally, push one inch to the right from the top, and then two inches to the left from the bottom."

“Push one inch further each time until it’s completely opened.”

All of the above steps actually correspond to the mechanism left by the third Taoist master.

As long as Xiao Chen makes a wrong operation, the killing formation hidden under the golden coffin will be activated.

By then, let alone building a foundation, even if an ordinary Jindan cultivator came, he would not be able to escape death.

However, with the spirit of the weapon rebelling, these mechanisms naturally became useless.

The huge coffin lid was pushed out and hung in the air, revealing a coffin full of flowing Yellow Spring water.

It kept rushing from east to west, disappearing out of thin air from the end of the coffin and reappearing out of thin air from the head of the coffin.

Xiao Chen just looked at the scene in front of him and felt as if he had seen the real Yellow Springs and felt the cold breath under the Nine Netherworlds.

"Then comes the real final step."

The spirit tried to suppress its voice, not letting its emotions show too clearly: "You must lie in the coffin with your head down and your feet up."

"Don't be afraid, it's not dangerous at all."

Not dangerous?
What are you teasing me?

Xiao Chen looked at the weapon spirit, his eyes full of suspicion.

The Yellow Spring Water in front of you makes you shiver just by looking at it. If you really lie in it, you might not be able to get out.

And he had another question: "Didn't they say the treasure is inside?"

"Why can't I see anything except this Yellow Spring water?"

The spirit of the weapon was well prepared: "Don't be afraid, this is the last test left by the master."

"In fact, there is no Yellow Spring Water in there. What you see is just a disguised illusion."

"As long as you overcome the fear in your heart and return to the underworld, you will be reborn in the underworld."

This is not entirely false, and it does not say who is reborn.

However, Xiao Chen did not believe it directly.

In order to prevent the spirit of the weapon from lying, he directly activated his spiritual eyes to check for any abnormalities inside.

However, the Yellow Spring Water rolling in front of him was still flowing, and one could even see corpses rising and falling in it.

With the surging waves, it suddenly became more real.

At the same time, Xiao Chen also felt strands of cold air rushing straight into his eyes.

He actually felt a hint of coolness.

With the protection of the Divine Veil, this feeling is definitely not an illusion.

Could it be that what is flowing in the golden coffin right now is really the legendary Yellow Spring Water from the underworld?
Unlikely?
"Boy, don't be so presumptuous!"

The spirit of the weapon quickly warned: "If you use the exploration method to peek into Huangquan again, be careful of backlash."

What flows in the golden coffin is not actually the Yellow Spring water, but the lethal Yellow Spring evil.

If there is no secret technique to dispel it, such close-range peeping will cause the invasion of evil spirits, which will cause damage to the eyes at the very least and damage to the soul at the worst.

The spirit of the weapon didn't want Xiao Chen to get hurt at this time. After all, this body would soon be its own.

However, its warning was still a little slow. A faint aura of evil had already rushed into Xiao Chen's eyes as he spoke.

Then it first came to the Yintang point, then passed through the Yangbai point, and finally reached the Shenting point.

During this process, his entire forehead seemed to be immersed in ten thousand year old ice, and he even felt his consciousness begin to slow down.

At this time, most cultivators can only watch the evil energy attack their sea of ​​consciousness and can do nothing.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen is not an ordinary person, he has a way to deal with evil spirits.

The moment he felt the evil spirit entering his body, he silently recited "Xuantian's Secret Method of Taking Medicine" in his mind.

At this moment, the evil spirit had no time to start attacking before it was directly suppressed by the secret method and then swallowed up on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen gained enlightenment in his heart.

The evil spirit he had just swallowed was the Yinshui Evil, also known as the Yellow Spring Evil.

According to secret records, although Huangquan Sha is a Yin Sha, it is extremely aggressive and will actively infect the living beings around it.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is very difficult to gather it together.

Unless they are cultivated in a very closed place, they will often be consumed as soon as they are formed.

Only a place like Huangquan Palace, where no living creatures have appeared for tens of thousands of years, can accumulate enough Huangquan evil.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the golden coffin in front of him with surprise.

He now understood that the reason why it looked like flowing water at first was simply because the evil spirit in the coffin was too strong and condensed into liquid.

Unexpectedly, the biggest treasure here, his primary target this time, was actually hidden in the golden coffin.

"You're awake. Are you okay now?"

Seeing him open his eyes, the spirit of the weapon floated over with concern.

Generally speaking, when one's sea of ​​consciousness is impacted by the Yellow Springs Evil, one will feel as if each day is a year.

Maybe only a few breaths of time seem to have passed to the outside world, but to the cultivator himself, it actually feels like a long time has passed.

"It's my fault for not reminding you in time. There's actually some evil spirit mixed in here."

The weapon spirit pretended to blame itself first, then gently persuaded: "But it doesn't matter, as long as you follow my instructions, I can ensure that you can enter safely without being corrupted."

"As long as I survive this final test, what the master left behind..."

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

It was halfway through its words when it saw Xiao Chen jump into the coffin with a plop and sit cross-legged in meditation skillfully.

"No, your posture is wrong!"

"You're doomed, you're dead!"

The spirit of the weapon suddenly became anxious.

If Xiao Chen didn't lie down completely, it wouldn't be able to use the golden coffin to take over his body.

And with the power of Huangquan Sha, it would not take more than a few breaths for him to be assimilated into a walking corpse.

However, the next moment, what happened before its eyes directly overturned the spirit's cognition.

The rolling evil energy continued to penetrate into Xiao Chen's body, but there was no visible change in his body.

There was even a comfortable expression on his face.

What's happening here?
Xiao Chen was actually absorbing evil energy!
The spirit of the weapon felt that the "water level" of the Yellow Springs Evil in the golden coffin was constantly decreasing, and fell into deep confusion.

Whether it is its own research on the "Secret Book of Huangquan Zhenjun's Punishment for the World" over the years, or the absorption of memory fragments of dead monks in the micro city.

There is no way to explain the current situation.
.
No, this must be stopped!
Although the spirit of the weapon couldn't figure it out, it knew that without the evil spirit to help cleanse its soul, its plan to take over another body would never succeed.

But the problem still exists, it has no means to directly attack Xiao Chen.

But its desperate shouting had no effect.

Even when threatened with the disappearance of his inheritance, Xiao Chen acted as if he didn't hear it.

At this time, the spirit of the weapon finally realized that the other party had been aiming for evil from the very beginning.

After several persuasions and threats failed, it finally gave up and decided to do its best to make things difficult for Xiao Chen.

Although it cannot affect the outside world, it still has a certain degree of control over the golden coffin itself.

Especially in terms of various assessments.

After searching around the miniature city, the weapon spirit quickly recognized several demon cultivators who were working hard to decipher the code.

Based on the memory fragments it absorbed, these people should be rivals of Xiao Chen.

In this case, we might as well help one of them get out as soon as possible and solve the problem of Xiao Chen.

The weapon spirit looked around and its gaze was forced to fall on a burly man in his forties.

What it actually wanted was a body that was as young as possible, otherwise it would have picked someone in the city long ago and would not have bothered with Xiao Chen.

Unfortunately, due to the interception by the Divine Fire Sect, all these cultivators who were able to enter the underground palace early were in the late stage of foundation building.

This means that they are not very young, and those in their forties are already the youngest.

The spirit of the weapon looked at Xiao Chen again, and finally stopped hesitating and changed to a new target.

In a miniature city.

Zhou Xingyuan is following the instructions of Master Nie Jing, looking for all the restrictions in the city and destroying them as much as possible.

Suddenly, an old voice sounded in his ears.

The other party claimed to be a guide and said that after layers of screening, he had been chosen to inherit the treasure in the Huangquan Palace.

From now on, as long as you act according to his guidance, you will be able to obtain the true inheritance of Huangquan Dao.

At the beginning, Zhou Xingyuan was very cautious and did not believe that such a good thing would happen.

But soon, the guide showed him that what he said was true.

Under the other party's guidance, Zhou Xingyuan easily unlocked a restriction in the city and successfully obtained a top-grade magical shield.

Next, there is a complete book of Huangquan Dao secret techniques.

Then they easily got a whole piece of Taiyin Divine Iron, which is a third-level precious material for refining weapons.

Zhou Xingyuan was surprised to find that this guide knew the entire city very well.

It's as if it has been here for thousands and thousands of years.

At the same time, he could provide the simplest solutions to the various restrictions here, helping him to reach the core of the inner city directly.

So Zhou Xingyuan gradually began to trust the other party, and followed the other party's guidance to quickly complete one test after another.

On the way, he even obtained a Gengjin divine thunder hidden under the city.

"Senior Guide, we went to so much trouble to find this thing, what exactly is it used for?"

"This is because there is a greedy thief in the outside world who has already stolen the treasures in the palace. When the time comes, you will use this divine thunder to smash him into pieces."

Zhou Xingyuan was secretly delighted when he heard this.

The guide gave him so many benefits, but was still worried about his safety.

He did not directly tell him to go fight the enemy, but instead helped him prepare in advance, the Gengjin Divine Thunder that even the Jindan Zhenren had to be wary of.

He has now begun to believe that he has really been chosen by the palace to be the heir.

In fact, he was just overthinking it.

The spirit of the weapon simply learned from the memory fragments that Zhou Xingyuan's own abilities alone were no match for Xiao Chen.

So we had to find a way to give him additional means of attack.

According to the original plan, there were eighteen tests in this city to screen qualified successors.

The entire selection process takes approximately three to six days.

But now, because of the help of the spirit of the weapon to cheat.

Zhou Xingyuan completed all the tests in just half a day and opened the exit to the underground palace.

Then he saw the golden coffin with its lid open, and Xiao Chen sitting in the middle with half of his body exposed.

Although he was a demon cultivator, he was not unfamiliar with this face.

He subconsciously took out his defensive shield and moved back to give himself time to react.

When facing a fake elixir cultivator, you must be extremely alert.

"Don't be afraid, take out the Gengjin Divine Thunder and kill him!"

The weapon spirit's voice rang out immediately: "Hurry up, a new invader is about to come in."

There was a hint of urgency in its voice.

The new invader was actually the Jindan Zhenren who was trying to open the exit and invade the palace.

During the half day that Zhou Xingyuan completed the test, the cracking outside never stopped.

Therefore, there is not much time left for the spirit of the weapon.

Once the Jindan True People arrive, it will be a pipe dream for it to take over another body.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingyuan immediately took out the Gengjin Divine Thunder from his storage bag.

However, before he could use it, he heard a command.

"Stand there and don't move. I promise to let you live."

Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes: "Dare to disturb my practice, today is the day you die."

Although he was absorbing the Yellow Springs Evil, his spiritual consciousness was always monitoring the surrounding situation.

Seeing Zhou Xingyuan's actions, he immediately gave a warning.

The main reason is that Xiao Chen has just reached the critical moment of condensing the Yin Water Seal and doesn't want to stop halfway.

Once interrupted, it will take several hours to re-condense.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xingyuan did not seize this opportunity.

"Boom~!"

A golden light flashed, and a large amount of golden divine thunder instantly submerged Xiao Chen.

When the light faded, only a thin layer of Yellow Springs Evil remained in the coffin.

"Senior Guide, why is he gone?"

"Humph, the Gengjin Divine Thunder is the positive thunder of the Five Elements. It is normal that it is used to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator and nothing is left of him."

The weapon spirit sneered and then began to induce: "Next, you will lie in the coffin according to my method..."

By this time, Zhou Xingyuan had basically trusted the so-called guide.

He lay down in the coffin obediently.

After a moment, a flash of spiritual light appeared on his body, which resisted the cleansing of Huangquan Sha. Then he stood up from the coffin with a slightly unfamiliar look.

"How wonderful! Is this what it feels like to have a body?"

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade entering the body was heard, and the Donghua Thunder Sword flashed with lightning and pierced his chest.

"You're not dead? How come..."

Before it could finish, Xiao Chen swung his sword again and chopped off his head: "I wanted to let you go, but you insisted on wasting my time."

Although the Gengjin Divine Thunder is indeed powerful, the Night's Edge still performs stably.

Then he sat back in the coffin and began to condense the Yin Water Seal.

Fortunately, no one came to disturb us this time.

Three hours later, a Yin Water Seal was successfully condensed in his Dantian.

"That's right. This way, my chances of forming a pill will increase by another 10%."

Xiao Chen looked inward at his dantian and nodded with satisfaction.
