System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

After experiencing the divine might of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, the ultimate technique, up close, the Taoist of Thousand Mountains was immediately overwhelmed with emotion.

He had long since abandoned the Taoist path and fallen into the demonic path, and because he had been feeding the spirits of the mountains and wilds for a long time, his body was already covered with evil aura.

This aura fears most the extremely yang and powerful force of thunder.

Faced with Qianshan Daoren's questioning, Chen Xuan simply smiled calmly.

"Although my master did not have a formal lineage of Taoist scriptures, he taught me the principle of proving the Tao through my own actions. As long as my virtue is sufficient, why can't I realize the Five Thunder Orthodox Method on my own?"

"What did you say? You comprehended this lightning technique yourself?!"

At this moment, the Taoist of Thousand Mountains seemed to know what was about to happen to him, and he walked out of the small stone house with a hunched back and trembling body.

This was a hideous old man whose face, neck, and arms were covered with sores. Although his appearance was unsettling, his eyes were very bright and always gleaming.

Chen Xuan was not surprised to see Qian Shan appear in this state; this was the punishment for revealing too many heavenly secrets through his techniques.

"What? You want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Daoist Qianshan's face immediately flushed red, and his eyes turned vicious. "Junior, you've gone too far!"

"Disciple Qianshan beseeches a powerful immortal to possess my body and assist me!"

Qian Shan seemed unwilling to accept his fate and was about to be executed. In front of Chen Xuan, he began to use the secret techniques of the Daoist tradition, attempting to summon a god to possess him.

Chen Xuan didn't want to interrupt his chanting; he just wanted to know what kind of deity someone like Qian Shan could summon to help him.

Sure enough, after the Taoist of Thousand Mountains performed his shamanistic dance, Chen Xuan could clearly sense a powerful Yin spirit rapidly approaching from afar.

Chen Xuan looked up and blinked several times, activating his Yin-Yang Eyes, before he could see what the yin wind was.

"We beseech the divine intervention of the heroic martyr, the benevolent and compassionate Erlang, the Holy True Lord, to manifest his power!!!"

If Chen Xuan hadn't possessed sufficient cultivation to activate his Yin-Yang Eyes at any time and see through the essence of things...

Ordinary people could easily be deceived and frightened by Qianshan.

When Chen Xuan heard Qian Shan's final incantation, he burst out laughing.

"Who are you talking about? Yang Jian, the True Lord of the Pure Source Mysterious Path?"

Chen Xuan looked at Qianshan Daoist as if he were an idiot. "Why don't you ask the Great God Pangu to possess you? Do you think I'm too young and don't have the Heavenly Eye to see what that thing is?"

At this moment, the Taoist of Thousand Mountains had completely merged with the powerful Yin spirit he had invited.

That moment.

The hunched-over Taoist straightened up, and his body seemed to transform from black mist into a set of black divine armor. His aura also changed abruptly, and he vaguely gained a demonic quality.

"How dare you! You have witnessed the arrival of the Manifestation Saint True Lord, how dare you not pay your respects?!"

Chen Xuan was immediately amused by these words.

"A locust tree that has only cultivated for two hundred years absorbed more than a dozen powerful Yin spirits during that time by forcing its growth. After a long period of time by using illusions and pretending to be a god, it actually thinks it is a high-dimensional god?"

Chen Xuan smiled and directly exposed the Yin God who had come to help Daoist Qianshan.

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Mountain Taoist, who was already possessed, changed his expression drastically and began to retreat. His eyes flickered uncertainly. "Who are you? How can you see through my true form, the Yin Spirit?"

"Take over your people."

Chen Xuan felt bored. At first, he really thought that Qian Shan could invite some kind of grass god, but he didn't expect that what came was not even at the level of a grass god.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, now that you know my true form, I will not let you leave tonight. I will accept your Yin spirit."

Such a young Daoist can cultivate a Yin Spirit? Then his Yin Spirit must be incredibly pure. As long as I absorb and refine it, my cultivation will advance even further.

Chen Xuan sneered and raised his right hand, his palm making a grasping motion. "I'm waiting for you to take my Yin Spirit back, but I don't know if you have the skill to do so."

Sizzle, wah wah wah—

With a thought, lightning flashed in Chen Xuan's palm, the dazzling lightning reflecting off his face.

The locust tree is inherently yin, but it encountered the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, the most yang method in the world!

"What? This, this is... Thunder Magic!?"

The moment the thunder magic revealed its power, the locust tree spirit, which had been confidently trying to absorb Chen Xuan's Yin spirit, was instantly overwhelmed.

It raised its hand and slapped itself hard across the face, cursing, "Qianshan, how dare you harm me?!"

As he spoke, Qianshan himself began to roll his eyes, clearly indicating that the spirit of the locust tree wanted to flee and abandon Qianshan.

"Since you're here, why not stay?"

Seeing that the Yin Spirit of the Locust Tree was trying to transform back into black mist and escape, Chen Xuan also struck out with his right palm in the air.

"Thunder in the Palm!"

Shila-

A blinding ball of lightning struck the fleeing spirit of the locust tree with incredible speed.

Despite the immense yang power of heaven and earth, the spirit of the locust tree, despite its best efforts, could not stop the advance of the palm lightning and could only watch helplessly as it was struck.

As the lightning struck the Yin Spirit of the Locust Tree, it instantly melted into nothingness, just like snowflakes encountering the scorching sun of midsummer.

With a single palm strike, the Yin Spirit of the Locust Tree was annihilated, and at this moment, the Taoist of Thousand Mountains finally awoke.

When Qianshan heard the most trusted ally's miserable howl of resentment, he was finally filled with fear.

"You, you can't kill me! I am a high-ranking member of the Immortal Path. If you kill me, my master, uncles, and grandmasters of the Immortal Path will not let you off!"

Chen Xuan remained unmoved, constantly gathering the power of thunder magic in his palm, and walked step by step toward the Thousand Mountain Taoist who had nowhere to retreat.

"I can give you a lot of money, 10 million, no, 1 billion? And the young women of my disciples, all of that I can give you, just don't kill me?"

Chen Xuan sneered, and instead of stopping, he walked even faster.

Qianshan nearly broke down, saying, "I don't want money, I don't want women, what do you want?!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan had arrived in front of Qian Shan, looking down at the demon whose face was covered with sores. "I want you to restore order to this world, to bring back a clear and bright universe!"

Chen Xuan struck down with his palm, and the power of the thunder magic instantly dispelled the evil aura protecting Qianshan Daoist. His eyes bulged out, and he only had time to say "No" before he was powerless to resist and was instantly charred.

"You deserved to die; you will have to wash away your sins in the cycle of hell!"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, he kicked the completely charred Qian Shan into the stone house.

Then he made hand seals, chanted incantations, and then pressed his palm down on the ground.

Suddenly, an extremely strong aura of metal and metal instantly changed the foundation and overall structure of the stone house. After doing this, Chen Xuan got up and turned to leave.

He had just stepped out of the bamboo forest when he whispered, "Break."

Rumbling--

The small stone house hidden in the bamboo forest collapsed with a crash as Chen Xuan uttered the word.

Perhaps it was because of the many sins committed by Qianshan, but as the stone house collapsed, Chen Xuan immediately smelled a fragrance on himself.

"Accumulating merit brings a fragrant body?"

Chen Xuan was incredulous at the changes in his Yin Spirit Body, then seemed to have an epiphany, "Indeed, the righteous path is for Taoists to slay demons and exterminate evil!"

"Hee hee hee--"

"Cuckoo-"

Just as Chen Xuan was feeling grateful for the merit he had gained from unexpectedly killing the demon,

From the edge of the bamboo grove not far away came a few chirping sounds, some joyful and some fearful.
