My filial piety will never change

"Of course it's the former."

Shen Jing covered his chest and retreated to the corner: "If you continue like this, I won't help you..."

"It's not up to you whether to help or not, right, kid~" At the same time, he cut the black silk and hooked Zhao Yuchen, declaring war.

In this desert filled with yellow sand, a sudden and challenging battle begins...

The four masters and apprentices were sweating profusely. The Divine Crystal, who had claimed that he would not have any fluctuations, was already pounding with emotions, his eyes were about to pop out, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

But even though she was watching the battle, she was still earnestly searching for the reason why Zhao Yuchen had suffered the Dao Tribulation. After all, this was the key to whether she could live a peaceful life in the future.

After the four masters and apprentices entered their state, the most important thing was of course to hone their spiritual thoughts. This was an indispensable part of their rapid improvement in cultivation.

They walked from dusk to night, and from night to dawn, but only when the evil sun of the next day shone down did they stop with satisfaction.

"I found it!" Shen Jing suddenly exclaimed.

The three masters leaned against each other, their bodies covered with traces of divine fluid spilled from the battle. They fixed their messy makeup while casting questioning glances.

Zhao Yuchen leaned against the wall of the flying boat and sneered, "If you find anything, just tell me. Don't be so surprised."

Shen Jing said, "Every time you undergo training, your body and mind enter a world filled with the principles of yin and yang. Normally, during training, yin and yang reach a state of balance, canceling each other out. However, the ratio of yin and yang between you is unbalanced, resulting in excess energy, or impurities. These impurities cannot disappear or be recovered, but will accumulate over time. However, your body cannot sustain these impurities indefinitely, so they are released through your external cravings and desires. This is the reason for some of your temperamental changes."

"What you said makes some sense, but why don't my three masters have similar symptoms?"

"Because your physique is special, your yin and yang are stronger than theirs. Their yin and yang are offset by yours, but you still have some to spare."

Gongsun Ningyu asked with a hint of concern, "Then what's the solution?"

"Don't worry, mother. The solution is quite simple," Shen Jing said. "One is to reach a high enough level of cultivation so that your divine nature can ignore the influence of impurities. The second is to find a suitable way to vent."

Zhao Yuchen sighed, "It's unlikely that I can improve my realm in a short period of time. As for the latter, what is the appropriate way to vent? And how should I vent? Doesn't playing with other friends count as venting?"

Shen Jing said, "The release I'm talking about isn't just about intercourse, but the outpouring of mental strength. When the right opportunity comes, you'll naturally understand."

Zhao Yuchen rolled his eyes and said, "What you said is the same as not saying anything."

Sheng Ying clung to his side quietly, "Don't panic, kid, just let it go. At worst, I can take some time to help you vent~"

Gu Lingling shook her head, "Second Senior Sister, I'm afraid this will only make his symptoms worse."

Gongsun Ningyu looked off into the distance. "Since there's no solution for now, let's open the God's Tomb first. We've already reached the inner reaches of the Black Silence Desert."

Everyone followed her gaze and saw that the strong wind formed tornadoes that reached the sky, and the raging sand condensed into storm dragons that intertwined back and forth.

They seemed to have consciousness, forming a huge array and surrounding the boat.

This is obviously not ordinary wind and sand, it also carries some mysterious and ancient power.

This force merged with the rolling heat and sand, and the impact caused the boat's barrier to loosen.

Gu Lingling pouted and said, "Humph, let me see what kind of monster this is!"

The icy sword energy was activated, transforming into frost and snow all over the sky and directly hitting the tornado of sand.

boom!

The cold air collided with the hot sandstorm, creating a vast expanse of rain and fog, but it quickly evaporated. Gu Lingling swept away all the tornadoes.

Just as the flying boat was about to move forward, the scattered sand took shape again and condensed into a giant monster over a hundred meters high.

The monster chanted four words: "Apologize to the gods!"

Chapter 164: Dark Desert

The aura emanating from the sand monster approached the divine realm, filled with immense resentment. With a wave of its massive hand, a hail of blades, transformed from sand and gravel, rained down like a torrential downpour.

Gu Lingling snorted lightly, and the icy sword energy spread out, freezing all the rainstorms. Her body passed through the wind and sand monster like a stream of light, freezing its entire body. At the same time, she activated the sword formation, completely turning it into powder.

huh~

After the storm monster disappeared, a speck of light flew away from where it disappeared, heading towards the center.

Gu Lingling returned to the flying boat and said, "This monster seems to be controlled by someone else."

Gongsun Ningyu looked at the direction the light particles flew away and said, "It's in the direction of the God's Tomb."

Sheng Ying said leisurely: "Go and take a look and you will know."

They looked at each other and immediately controlled the flying boat to continue moving towards its destination.

The Black Desert is vast and the environment is harsh, which severely affects the speed of the flying boat. The overall problem is also getting more and more serious.

The waves of light reflected from the ground make the space seem to be distorted.

As they continued to go deeper, the internal parts of the flying boat stopped working due to the high temperature, and the surface barrier disappeared. Everyone could only rely on their own spiritual power for protection.

The power of the flying boat is also derived from the spiritual power of Gongsun Ningyu, which is derived from energy sources such as spirit stones. It is equivalent to Gongsun Ningyu carrying them to fly.

Gu Lingling summoned the icy sword energy to surround the flying boat, lowering the temperature as much as possible. "Even we feel a little tired. This place is indeed not something ordinary cultivators can enter."

Zhao Yuchen said, "If we didn't have something important to do, we could search here. We would definitely find a lot of treasures."

Sheng Ying smiled and said, "Why not just set up a large formation to isolate the high temperature, and then set up a teleportation formation inside, so that the disciples of Yin Yang Valley can plunder day and night? Wouldn't that be better?"

Gongsun Ningyu smiled and said, "The Black Silence Desert is so vast, the resources required to create a large formation alone cannot be underestimated. It's not realistic."

Shen Jing said, "How difficult is this? As long as your Taoism is advanced enough and you can separate a little bit of your Taoism power, you can directly dispel all the high temperatures."

Zhao Yuchen sneered, "If we had this ability, would we still be interested in the items here?"

Gu Lingling said, "You guys still have the leisure to chat, but there's trouble ahead."

A thousand meters ahead, a swarm of giant red crabs swarmed back and forth. A rough estimate suggested there were at least several thousand of them, each three meters tall, completely encircling the ground.

Zhao Yuchen muttered, "It's so hot here, but there are still crabs, and they look cooked. How strange! Master, let's go over from high altitude and ignore them."

Gongsun Ningyu tried to steer the flying boat over, but the crabs were like starving ghosts seeing delicious food. Their seemingly bulky bodies were surprisingly flexible, and they all bounced up from the ground and caught up with the flying boat in the blink of an eye.

A battle was inevitable. Sheng Ying and Zhao Yuchen joined forces to attack and eliminate all the crabs.

After these crabs disappeared, they turned into light particles and flew towards the center of the desert.

Later on the way, the group encountered some monsters. Except for some ancient formations and traps, most of them were created by the same person.

In the blink of an eye, it was night and the temperature changed from extremely high during the day to extremely cold.

If it weren't for the thin moisture here, it would have snowed and frosted long ago.

However, the cold here is far less than that in Yinchuan, so the flying magic tool can operate normally. This actually speeds up the process.

In this vast desert, the night sky is extremely beautiful, with densely packed stars forming a gorgeous galaxy that is pleasing to the eyes.

Zhao Yuchen suddenly thought of a topic that he had been very concerned about in his previous life. "Masters, do you think that besides the land beneath our feet, there is life in the starry sky?"

Gongsun Ningyu pondered, "That's an interesting idea. According to some historical records, most of those stars are suns, and those suns are orbited by large spheres like our own, so it's not surprising that they have life."

Gu Lingling said, "But according to the information we have so far, we are in Lower Xuantian, which is also the place of exile for criminals from Upper Xuantian. They shouldn't disperse the criminals so widely, they should only be placed on our planet."

Shengying approached the issue from a different perspective. "Our world may only have criminals, but there might be indigenous people on other planets. It's just that they are too far away to have any intersection with us."

Shen Jing said, "Where there is Tao, there will be derivatives, and where there are derivatives, there will be living beings. So the Second Valley Master's guess is correct. There are indeed native living beings in Lower Xuantian. Due to the limitations of their cultivation, they are destined to have no intersection with you."

Zhao Yuchen couldn't help but sigh, "Although I don't know what level the Lower Xuantian Universe is, there is no doubt that it is too vast, so vast that even so-called Divine Realm cultivators like us can hardly transcend even a billionth of it. No wonder even the three great Dao Ancestors are pursuing the ultimate Origin Dao. Perhaps only by entering that realm can one be free from the constraints of distance and the world and become a truly free being."

As the morning light rose from the horizon, the temperature of the desert gradually increased, and soon returned to its terrifyingly high temperature.

Today we defeated several groups of monsters, passed through many ancient traps, and got closer and closer to the center.

Two days later, the flying boat could not withstand the high temperature and was completely scrapped.

Everyone can only fly by human power.

Zhao Yuchen noticed something strange and looked at Shen Jing: "You don't seem to be affected by the environment here."

Shen Jing said proudly: "All external environments are just derivatives of the Tao. I am the crystallization of the original Tao. Any derivative is inferior to me, so I will not be affected."

"You are so powerful, why don't you get off me?" Gu Lingling was carrying her on her back and expressed her dissatisfaction.

Shen Jing smiled and said, "I'm just born with strong attributes, but my actual combat ability is very weak. Since you brought me here, you must be responsible."

"No, we didn't intend to bring you here. We had to bring you here because you insisted on following the master." Zhao Yuchen told the truth.

She didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, but instead said, "This is also a kind of Tao. You must fulfill it."

"... "

In the center of the dark desert, there are eighteen giant sand dunes that form a circle, blocking all the wind and sand from the outside.

Inside the circle, there was a circular clearing, one thousand meters in diameter. A thin layer of golden sand covered it. Like seeds that had remained unchanged for eons, they quietly guarded something.

The four people and Jing looked at the dunes from two thousand meters away. The storm around them was stronger than ever.

Even the divine-level protective spiritual energy was a little difficult to bear. They could no longer fly and could only walk to the center.

These short two thousand meters seemed to span hundreds of centuries. Every step was extremely difficult, and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

Chapter 165 The Armored Beauty in the God's Tomb

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters... fifty meters... from the center

The storm has cut cracks in the protective spiritual energy.

Gu Lingling couldn't hide her emotions. "The ancestor of Yin Yang Valley is really shameless. He said that as long as the Yin Yang Great Law is perfected, the Divine Tomb can be opened. In fact, if we didn't have many opportunities to bless us and enter the Divine Realm, if we came here with the cultivation level of the True Immortal Realm, we would most likely die."

Zhao Yuchen said, "Originally, all of this was just his conspiracy to find the container. Hey, if Third Master hadn't mentioned that old thing, I would have forgotten that we still have this thing."

Zhao Yuchen took out the spirit tablet of Master Taijiu from his storage bag. This was the foundation of the Wuji Yin-Yang Formation.

When this object was thrown out, it immediately turned into a Yin-Yang barrier, covering all the hills and dispelling the storm.

"No wonder that old guy is so confident. This Wuji Yin Yang Formation is indeed very useful." Zhao Yuchen was overjoyed. This formation seemed to have a great inhibitory effect on the surrounding environment.

Without the obstruction of the storm and high temperature, everyone quickly crossed one of the sand dunes and stood on the top looking at the open space in the center.

The four masters and apprentices could all sense the ancient, mysterious, invisible force moving across the open space. The slightest touch would stir up a thousand tidal waves.

Rumble~

Just as Zhao Yuchen was about to jump down to investigate, the eighteen sand dunes began to exchange positions. Space was constantly being pulled like a line, and rays of light shone out from the top of the sand dunes. They connected with each other to form a giant light net, covering the entire seal. Naturally, the four masters and apprentices were not spared.

boom!

The light at the center of the giant net condensed into a man of light, emitting a deafening cry: "Apologize, gods!"

This sound was exactly the same as the storm monster they had encountered when they first entered the Black Desert. It seemed that the light that appeared after the monster dissipated had gathered here. It was also the mastermind behind all the monsters they encountered along the way.

What exactly is this light person? Why is he able to distribute his power across the dark desert?

Perhaps only by defeating it can we get the answer.

Since the Wuji Yin-Yang Formation can control the environment here, it can naturally be used to deal with this strange light man.

Zhao Yuchen waved his arm, and the Wuji Yin-Yang Formation was further activated. The daytime and black water connected with each other, turning into streams of Yin-Yang power that pounced on the light man.

The light man roared and mobilized the light sources of eighteen sand dunes to forcefully collide with the power of yin and yang.

The two sides were surprisingly evenly matched.

Zhao Yuchen immediately injected all his strength into the base of the formation, and the Wuji Yin Yang Formation immediately accelerated its operation. The power of Yin and Yang swallowed up the light man like a tide, and the connections between the eighteen sand dunes were broken one after another.

When the wave of power receded, the light man almost disappeared.

Zhao Yuchen came up to him and tied him up with the black silk. "What on earth are you?"

The light man's eyes flashed evilly, and he continued to shout, "Apologize to the gods!"

This evil light is very similar to the demons from outside the domain, and even darker.

Zhao Yuchen wanted to know more, but the light man completely dissipated, without any light left.

Gongsun Ningyu speculated, "This could be the battlefield resentment condensed by the sand dune formation after being sealed by the demons from outside the domain."

Shengying said, "They are quite clever. The resentment they condense can persist forever, guarding the seal on their behalf."

"The entrance to the god's tomb should be below." Gu Lingling's eyes flickered, and she was eager to try.

Zhao Yuchen said, "I'll go down and take a look first. Master, I'll leave the control of the Wuji Yin-Yang Formation to you for the time being, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Okay." Gongsun Ningyu took over the control of the base, "Chen'er, be careful too."

Zhao Yuchen nodded and slowly descended from the air. He did not touch the ground directly with his feet, but hovered one meter above the ground to observe.

When the Eye of Insight is opened, one can see strange Dao patterns flowing in the golden sand. These Dao patterns seem to react to the power of Yin and Yang. This is perhaps why only the inheritor of the power of Yin and Yang can open the tomb of the gods.
