There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 85 I'm thinking [Please subscribe for the first time!]

The decay and deathly stillness and the dazzling Buddha light, two completely opposite forces, strangely merged into one, crashing into the bluish-white flames that extinguished all life!
"Fuck-"

The bluish-white flames, as if falling into strong acid, were rapidly eroded and dissolved by the ghastly green mist! The remaining flames, upon touching the Buddha's light, were like snow being splashed with boiling water, hissing and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye!

"A Golden Core cultivator?! But what the hell is this?!"

The Crow Daoist was filled with shock and anger. Immediately, the blue and white flames around his body surged and transformed into a giant fiery hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down on the suspended yellow-green golden pill!
With a thought, Chen Qing caused the golden core to spin in the air!
Buddha's light is prosperous!

Thousands of golden chains burst forth from the Buddha's light, ignoring the raging flames, instantly piercing through the giant palm and stabbing fiercely into the acupoints all over the Fire Crow Taoist's body!

"I take refuge! I take refuge! I take refuge!"

The sound of chanting was deafening!
Fire Crow Taoist was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling violently!
The chains not only contained the power to seal and suppress, but also devoured his vital energy like a bottomless pit!

"Buddhist techniques? Is Buddhism really this evil? It doesn't seem like the righteous path at all!"

At this moment!

The yellow-green golden pill turns again!

The pale green mist suddenly contracted, transforming into a point of deep, dark light, carrying an aura of extreme decay and ruin, and pierced into the body of the Fire Crow Taoist through the passage opened by the Buddha's light!
Fire Crow Daoist let out a muffled groan, his body visibly turning ashen and withered, like rotten wood drained of its life force! A piercing, bone-corroding force of decay was frantically eroding the foundation of his blood and qi!

"break!"

Chen Qing felt increasingly confident and at ease. With a thought, his golden core shot out like a meteor, shattering the giant fiery palm!
"Madman! How dare you squander your foundation like this!" Daoist Fire Crow was thrown back and crashed into the stone wall, stirring up array patterns!
Chen Qing was now wielding his power with ease, gradually finding the feeling of controlling the Golden Core. Just as he was about to press his advantage, a wave of weakness suddenly washed over him, and his powerful blood and energy were almost completely drained!

He was shocked.

"This external pill possesses astonishing power, yet its consumption is terrifying!"

Upon realizing this, he immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the golden elixir back into his stomach, which slowed down the loss of his vital essence.

"You madman! Today I will annihilate you, body and soul..."

Amidst the smoke and dust opposite, Daoist Fire Crow staggered to his feet. The ashen color on his body was forcibly suppressed, and the bluish-white flames, though not as intense as before, rose once more!
Even when suppressed, the power of the Golden Core is not easily shaken!

Chen Qing felt a chill, but remained calm. His gaze swept over the ancient array patterns that were faintly visible around the fire crow, and the essence of the Xuan Yu Array clearly appeared in his mind!
“Master, I had no intention of harming you. You came to me of your own accord. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong.”

Chen Qing sighed, formed a hand seal, and the golden core inside his abdomen hummed, with invisible ripples spreading outwards!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

As the ripples passed, the array patterns on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the quiet room lit up layer by layer, flashing continuously!
"Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations! Reversing the Flow of Profound Power!"

Chen Qing's hand seals suddenly changed, pointing towards the Fire Crow Taoist!
"town!"

"Boom!"

The entire Xuanyu seemed to come alive!

The dome seemed to drop with immense weight! Mysterious Yin chains surged from the ground! Divine light of confinement shot from the four walls! And countless ancient runes danced and entwined like living things!
The vast power scattered throughout the array patterns was channeled by Chen Qing using his golden core as a guide and secret techniques as a bridge, converging into an irresistible sealing torrent that crashed towards Fire Crow Daoist!
"Open it for me!"

Fire Crow Taoist attempted to resist!

However, with his golden core sealed, he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the vast power of the entire Xuanyu Grand Array!
Pfft!
The man was as if the sky had fallen and he was pressed into the ground!
Runic chains instantly bound him, pinning him down!
The surging bluish-white flames were forcibly suppressed back into his body, leaving only wisps of smoke unwillingly escaping from his seven orifices!

Before the dust had settled, several figures had already rushed in!

Beside him, Zhang Fengding, a middle-aged jailer, appeared out of nowhere. Trying to remain calm, he roared hoarsely, "Locking Yuan Chains! Suppressing Spirit Nails! Sealing Acupoint Talismans! Quick! Quick! Quick! Don't let him catch his breath!"

Several chains wrapped around the Fire Crow Taoist's limbs and neck!
Several talismans shimmering with a blue light were slapped onto his brow, dantian, and shin.
"You mere ants dare to insult me! Once the Ancestor is freed, I will surely burn your souls and refine your spirits..."

The Fire Crow Taoist continued his cursing.

"Please calm down, sir." At this moment, a man with a long beard and a gaunt face, dressed in a dark green official robe, strolled over.

His face showed no sign of panic. He bowed slightly to Daoist Fire Crow and said, "Master, your Daoist arts are profound, but you are imprisoned in the Mysterious Prison. I am truly sorry for the disturbance. I hope you will forgive me and allow me to return to my quiet room to rest." He then turned his gaze to his back and said, "Take good care of Master as he returns, and make sure there are no further mishaps."

Several jailers stepped forward silently and skillfully reinforced the seal once more.

The long-bearded man then turned to Chen Qing, his face displaying just the right amount of respect and apology. He cupped his hands and said, "This time, the villains caused trouble, disturbing the Ancestor's peaceful cultivation and even requiring the Ancestor to personally intervene. I failed in my duty of supervision and deserve to die! If it weren't for the Ancestor's divine power, the consequences would have been unimaginable! On behalf of everyone in Xuanyu, I thank the Ancestor for saving my life!"

Chen Qing glanced at him but didn't reply.

The man bowed extremely low, his waist bent deeply: "Ancestor, please take good care of yourself. This humble official will take his leave!" After a pause, he added: "There is one more thing I need to tell you, Ancestor. In a few days, some distinguished guests may arrive. They are likely looking for someone to test their skills. If there is any disturbance, I hope you will not make things difficult for them."

Seeing that Chen Qing simply waved his hand, he stepped back and walked away, then turned around halfway and called out, "Zhang Fengding!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Zhang Fengding jumped up and quickly stepped forward. "Take a few trusted confidants and guard this place! Whatever the Ancestor needs, whether it be pills, spiritual materials, or blood food, just give the order and we will fulfill it immediately! If there is the slightest negligence, you will be beheaded!" the long-bearded man ordered.

"Here!"

"A noble person who has come to test his skills?" After dismissing the distractions, Chen Qing pondered these words, then shook his head, focused his mind, and sank into his dantian.

Above the dark sea of ​​qi, a yellow-green golden pill floated quietly, its rotation drawing qi and blood throughout the body.

Upon closer inspection, the cracks on the surface of the Golden Core not only did not diminish its brilliance, but instead resembled natural Dao patterns, flowing with a mysterious luster. Deep within the cracks, two completely opposite forces were perfectly sealed and nurtured, clearly distinct yet achieving a delicate balance.

A deep, surging energy, permeated with a sense of decay and ruin, seemed to corrupt all life with the slightest touch of the mind!

Another radiant golden light, vast and resilient, encompassing all things! As one's thoughts draw near, a low chanting of Sanskrit arises, and the ancient, indestructible realm emanates from within!

"Void encompasses the sea! Indestructible as Vajra!"

As fragments of memory flowed by, Chen Qing instantly understood and comprehended the events that had transpired.

It turns out that after the last thought left, the body in the dream actually carried several obsessions in parallel without contradiction. The purpose was to recover from the injury, with the Taiyin Qi as the guide and the two Buddhist methods as the foundation. Furthermore, the mysterious methods of refining weapons and setting up formations were directly used to refine the golden core in the abdomen!
Even the unpredictable tadpole-shaped runes on the "Mysterious Yin Principle" were used as a diagram of the Great Dao, and were imitated and operated using the Taiyin Qi!
By a twist of fate, this lifeless and decaying golden elixir was actually refined into an outer elixir containing the mighty power of Buddha!
“Imitating tadpole patterns, this has become too profound!” Chen Qing was speechless for a moment. Was this the original intention of the “Mysterious Yin Principle”, or just a pure accident? At this point, it was impossible to tell.

While being spared the pain of deciphering is certainly a pleasant surprise, the incredible 'comprehension' of this dream body is almost demonic!
"Just by pondering like this, he found an opportunity? The comprehension of this dream body is truly terrifying!"

At this moment, the Yin energy, like a serpent, darted through the "array patterns" formed by the cracks in the outer elixir, connecting with Chen Qing's thoughts. With a single thought, it could unleash immense power! However, this elixir was ultimately an external artifact, not an internal elixir for cultivating both body and spirit.

"External alchemy is a powerful weapon for protecting the Dao and for killing, and its power is immense, but the price is also enormous!"

Feeling his nearly depleted vital energy, Chen Qing sighed inwardly. Just a few breaths of combat had almost drained his foundation! Ultimately, it was because his physical body was too weak to withstand such immense power!

"Although external alchemy is a powerful tool, the foundation still lies within oneself! The most urgent task is to use the foundation of Taiyin as the basis to step into the third realm and condense the Yin spirit! The Haiyue Remnant Scroll method is incomplete, and the foundation has changed, so we need to find another way. This external alchemy itself, which contains profound mysteries, is the best object of study!"

With his mind focused, he suppressed the unusual movement of his golden core, and his aura gradually returned to its profound depth.

"Someone is coming."

Zhang Fengding, who was waiting outside the door, immediately came in, bowed, and asked, "What are your orders, Ancestor?"

"Bring some medicinal pills and spiritual materials to strengthen the body's foundation and replenish qi and blood." Chen Qing slightly raised his eyelids. "Also, find some cultivation methods for the third realm."

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Zhang Fengding accepted the order and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute," Chen Qing called out to him, "Summon a few more cultivators with profound knowledge of formations."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Fengding bowed in response and quickly left.

The stone chamber returned to silence.

"Having the external elixir in hand is like having a divine weapon, making me less hesitant in my actions and more confident in my ability to look down on others."

However, this thought only flashed through Chen Qing's mind. When he recalled the events of the day, he realized the hidden meaning.

“Xuanyu is an important place of the Immortal Dynasty. What kind of prisoners haven’t they seen? Even if it is the real Li Benji, his cultivation level is only Golden Core. How can he suppress just anyone? He cannot be Xuanyu’s trump card… Someone is trying to test me? Yes, Zhao Ye has died. There must be other connections. Perhaps it is the work of that long-bearded man.”

Once this thought arose, many things became clear.

"I need to finish what I urgently need to do and then I'll be leaving." He thought of the blood-scarred cultivator he had reported before. "This fiend comes from the Blood Demon Path. His 'Blood Soul Demon Light General Technique' helped me escape last time. Now he's being hunted down by a Great Perfection Yin God in the mortal realm. Maybe I can get the method to counter him out of him!"

With this thought in mind, he got up and went straight to the prison where the Bloodstained cultivators were held.

The prison guards along the way all bowed their heads and showed reverence as if they were gods.

The prison door opened.

The bloodstained cultivator leaned against the corner of the wall, looking emaciated. When he saw the expression of the jailer behind Chen Qing, he was first taken aback, and then let out a hoarse laugh: "Hehe, I, Li, pride myself on my sharp eyes, but it seems that I underestimated you."

Chen Qing didn't respond to the question and went straight to the point: "Do you have any means to restrain a cultivator at the peak of the Yin God realm in the Demonic Sect?"

"Restraining a Yin Spirit at its peak?" The blood-stained cultivator was taken aback at first, then his eyes flashed with a blood-red light. "What's so difficult about that? Do you know why I asked you to send me a message last time? If you can help me, all of this is a piece of cake!"

He struggled to his feet, the chains rattling: "My Blood Demon Path inherits from the ancestors born from the essence and blood of ancient gods and demons! We have passed down three treasures: the Blood Marrow Demon Transformation Scripture, the Blood Sea Floating Pagoda Path, and three supreme 'Ancestral Demon Blood Qi Talismans'! These talismans are formed from a primordial demonic energy, capable of integrating all laws, planting demonic embryos, and ensuring immortality generation after generation!"

Chen Qing didn't respond, but waited for the other person to speak.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and finally said, "The message I need you to send is related to a blood energy talisman! It is hidden within ten thousand years of blood light, and anyone who touches it will be destroyed!" He stared intently at Chen Qing: "Now that you have obtained the general formula, you can take it yourself. Although there are some arrangements in that place..."

"Luring me to go in person?" Chen Qing interrupted coldly. "You never intended to send a message in the first place. You were just plotting step by step to lure me into a trap."

The bloodstained cultivator licked his lips, laughing instead of answering: "Do you know the mystery of this thing? It can merge with all laws, it is formless and intangible! It can be qi, talisman, or brand! As long as you can subdue it, whether it is an immortal, Buddha, demon, or monster, they can all be turned to your own use!"

"Can all laws be integrated? Formless and without substance?" Chen Qing's heart suddenly stirred. If what this person said was true, could this Demon Ancestor Qi Talisman, like the Samadhi True Fire Talisman, cross the boundary between reality and illusion and feed back to the present body?
