Chapter 359 Golden Thunder Dual Cultivation Body, Peak of Mid-Stage Fourth Rank
Most importantly, in his near-fifth-tier divination ability, the secrets of heaven within this radius of ten thousand miles were in complete chaos.
It was as if shrouded in an invisible net, isolating it from all outside prying eyes.
No amount of powerful divination can penetrate this place.
Chen Yi guessed that either the mysterious Old Hu had returned, or Hu Mingyue had made a move.
In any case, this provided him with a perfect opportunity.
A perfect stage to completely and silently eliminate Xuan Gang without leaving any trace.
A moment later.
Qingyun Cave Heaven is located deep within an underground cave.
Chen Yi's figure appeared quietly, and the gray-furred treasure-hunting rat affectionately jumped onto his shoulder and handed him the Vajra Jade Talisman.
He didn't even have time to take a look at Yue Qingqiu, who was still in seclusion.
He sat cross-legged, focusing all his attention on the cold jade talisman in his hand.
He had to completely devour the Vajra essence within the jade talisman before the people at the Vajra Temple could react and send someone to investigate.
Refining.
By then, there will be no way to prove it.
As for whether the old master of the Vajra Temple will personally take action.
Chen Yi felt that the possibility was slim.
As Lao Hu once said, there are certain unwritten rules among the Nascent Soul stage experts in this world.
They would not easily reveal themselves in the cultivation world, much less personally attack juniors. That would greatly disrupt the balance of the universe and bring unpredictable consequences.
Their game of strategy is more like it takes place behind the scenes.
By manipulating the threads of cause and effect between heaven and earth, they control the cultivators below as pawns to complete their schemes and achieve their goals.
Xuan Gang is a pawn, and Ji Yinglong is also a pawn.
Chen Yi guessed that Lao Hu, or Hu Mingyue, also possessed this ability to place pieces.
He himself is striving to go from being a pawn to someone who deserves to be on the chessboard.
Now, devouring this fifth-order Vajra Origin is the next step he has taken.
[A fragmented source of a fifth-tier Vajra Talisman has been detected. Absorb it?]
A cold notification sound rang out in the sea of consciousness.
[Devour!]
Chen Yi did not hesitate at all.
Even though the Vajra divine power protecting the body of the fifth-order Vajra Talisman has been exhausted in the previous confrontation, the origin carried by the talisman itself is still an unimaginable treasure.
This power is pure, refined, and of extremely high rank.
If it were before, Chen Yi wouldn't even have had the chance to peek at a fraction of it.
But now, things are different.
With the Vajra Skill advancing to the mid-stage of the fourth level, the surging golden water within his body had already gathered into a massive eight hundred strands.
This power is the source of his confidence to challenge the fifth-order origin.
With a thought, the powerful system force, like an invisible giant hand, precisely enveloped that fragment of the original essence. At the same time, the blood and qi in the body roared, and the fourth-order Vajra Technique was activated to its limit.
hum!
A powerful and vast Vajra force instantly surged into Chen Yi's meridians.
That power was incredibly domineering, as if it would burst his body.
Chen Yi groaned, a faint golden light emanating from his body. Relying on his solid physical foundation, he managed to withstand the first wave of impact.
Then, guided by his divine sense, the golden crystal marrow within his body transformed into streams of golden water, actively rushing forward to devour, absorb, and refine it with great difficulty.
The quantity of golden crystal marrow in Chen Yi's body did not increase, but the quality of each strand was undergoing a tremendous transformation.
The gold color grew increasingly pure, and the primal aura it contained was rapidly impacting the barrier of the late fourth-tier realm.
His seclusion was marked by profound silence.
Meanwhile, at Kongo-ji Temple.
Deep within the sect, in the Hall of Everlasting Lamps.
Rows of soul lamps burn silently, symbolizing the life flame of every core disciple of Vajra Temple.
The flame of the topmost soul lamp suddenly contracted and then went out completely, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.
The monks guarding the hall paled and scrambled out of the room.
A moment later, the monk Kongxing, who was meditating in the meditation room, suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light disappeared from them.
"Xuan Gang————"
He uttered two words, and his figure vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared at the entrance to the deepest underground secret realm of the temple. This place was shrouded by a fifth-order grand formation, isolating the aura, and was a forbidden area where the ancestor secluded himself for cultivation.
The monk Kongxing bowed respectfully and reported the news of the destruction of the Xuan Gang Soul Lamp.
Within the secret realm, there was utter silence.
There was no response.
Not daring to disturb him, the monk Kongxing sat cross-legged at the entrance and waited quietly.
This wait lasted for two whole months.
Two months later, an aged yet majestic voice slowly emanated from the depths of the great formation, each word seemingly carrying the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, echoing in the empty lake of the mind.
"I am aware of this matter."
"That area is not simple."
"Someone of equal caliber has intervened."
"You, personally investigate the cause of Xuan Gang's death. Then, issue my order to go and question him."
"But remember, do not take any further action in the near future."
"Three years from now, I will send an avatar to the Black Mountain Secret Realm to personally settle the karmic debts here."
The monk Kongxing felt a chill run down his spine and kowtowed deeply.
"I will obey the decree of the ancestor."
He stood up, his eyes devoid of any compassion, filled only with icy killing intent.
Using the unique secret techniques of the Vajra Temple, Kongxing quickly located the place where Xuangang had died and disappeared.
A day later, when he used his escape technique to descend into the valley, Xuan Gang's cold body was still lying quietly on the ground.
Kongxing slowly stepped forward and gently supported Xuangang's head with one hand.
A wisp of pure Buddhist power probed into it.
A moment later, Kongxing's expression changed slightly.
"Divine Sense Attack————"
He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the remaining, almost completely dissipated aura.
An extremely terrifying fifth-order divine sense power.
Moreover, within that domineering divine sense, he also captured a wisp of extremely subtle yet incredibly clear characteristic.
One in black, one in white; one alive, one dead.
Yin and Yang alternate.
"The Ji family—"
Kongxing opened his eyes and withdrew his hand.
Without lingering, he carried Xuan Gang's body back to the Vajra Temple and returned to the entrance of the underground secret realm to report all his discoveries.
This time, the ancestor responded much faster.
The fifth-order array in the secret realm shimmered with light, and a rift opened silently, from which a warm, smooth jade talisman emerged.
The golden light on the jade talisman was restrained, yet it contained a terrifying power that made people's hearts tremble.
Fifth-order Vajra Jade Talisman.
"Since this was done by Ji Yinglong of the Ji family, you shall take this talisman and go to the Ji family to demand an explanation."
The patriarch's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable authority.
"Don't worry, that old man from the Ji family who's been in seclusion for 800 years won't dare to make a move."
"Disciple understands."
Kongxing took the jade talisman, carefully put it away, then picked up Xuangang's corpse and turned to leave.
This time, his target is the Ji family of Zhongzhou.
The Ji family.
Inside the secret chamber, Ji Yinglong sat cross-legged on a futon, his face still bearing an unnatural pallor, the surging magical power within him not yet fully subsided.
In his battle against Xuan Gang of the Vajra Temple, he managed to block the power of the Vajra Divine Talisman, a fifth-tier weapon, despite being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
But to ensure the safety of the Fairy Xuanyin behind him.
-
Its very essence was also damaged by the shock.
Just as he was adjusting his breathing, a rapid transmission talisman pierced through the restrictions of the secret chamber.
The Venerable Kongxing of Vajra Temple has come to demand an explanation, bringing with him the corpse of his disciple!
Ji Yinglong's brows furrowed instantly.
He stepped out of the secret chamber and arrived at the main hall of the Ji family, where he immediately saw Kongxing, whose face was ashen and whose body radiated anger.
"Benefactor Ji."
Kongxing spoke first, his voice icy cold.
"My Vajra Temple has no enmity with your Ji family. Why did you resort to such a vicious act and kill my disciple Xuan Gang?"
His self-illumination was sharp, piercing straight at Ji Yinglong.
"Just because you want to protect that female cultivator and engage in dual cultivation with her, you want to exterminate us all?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yinglong's expression changed drastically.
"Master Kongxing, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"I didn't kill Xuan Gang, so how could he be dead?"
Emptiness let out a cold snort, each syllable carrying the wrath of Buddhism.
"The evidence is right here, how dare you still try to deny it!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his arm.
"Bang!"
Xuan Gang's body was thrown heavily onto the bluestone floor in the center of the hall with a dull thud.
Ji Yinglong's gaze fell on the corpse, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He took a step forward and instantly arrived beside the corpse, probing it with his divine sense.
After some investigation, Ji Yinglong's expression finally changed from astonishment to disbelief.
"How could this happen?"
He muttered to himself, his voice filled with confusion.
The lingering deadly aura within Xuan Gang's sea of consciousness was all too familiar to him.
That was precisely when he used the power of a fifth-order Yin-Yang Soul Talisman.
But----
"impossible!"
Ji Yinglong suddenly looked up at Kongxing.
"I fought him, and I clearly stopped at the last moment! He was still breathing, not dead! How could this happen?"
Even with his knowledge and experience at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't imagine that someone would add fuel to the fire under his domineering Yin-Yang Divine Soul power, completely burning away Xuan Gang's last bit of life.
This is simply a fantasy.
Kongxing looked at him, his eyes growing colder.
"People died because of your supernatural powers, and now you say you're stopping?"
Ji Yinglong's Adam's apple bobbed, but he found that he couldn't find a single word to refute it.
The facts speak for themselves.
The person did indeed die from his Yin-Yang Soul Talisman.
He was speechless and unable to defend himself.
Finally, Ji Yinglong clenched his teeth tightly, and a surge of pent-up anger in his chest almost burst forth.
He had no choice but to apologize.
Under the harsh conditions of the Void Opening, the Ji family paid a huge amount of high-level materials to temporarily quell the anger of the Vajra Temple.
This loss was heartbreaking for Ji Yinglong.
After seeing Kongxing off, he could no longer suppress his resentment. He summoned Ji Mingyuan from the second branch of the Ji family and gave him a severe dressing-down. He also directly revoked some of Ji Wuchen's core power within the family.
This trip was truly an inauspicious start.
His own fundamental nature is in turmoil, and it will take him at least two or three years to fully recover.
As for Fairy Xuanyin, her essence was damaged even more severely, and it is unknown when she will be able to recover.
The path to godhood that he yearned for was fraught with even more uncertainties.
What troubled him even more was that the intelligence coming from the Black Mountain Secret Realm indicated that there were more and more variables involved.
As one of the leaders of the cultivation world in Zhongzhou, he bears a heavy responsibility.
Three years later.
He had to lead a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from Zhongzhou to personally oversee the Black Mountain Secret Realm.
At that time, the spatial barrier of the ancient battlefield connected deep within the secret realm will be further weakened, making it sufficient to accommodate cultivators in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
If Nascent Soul cultivators from other realms were allowed to enter the Great Green Cultivation Realm, no one, except for these old monsters at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, would be able to stop them.
A year and a half passed after Xuan Gang's death.
For ordinary people, it might be half a lifetime wasted. For cultivators on the path to immortality, it's just a single breath during seclusion.
Deep within the Azure Cloud Cave, in a secret chamber shrouded by numerous restrictions, Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes.
A pure, golden divine light flashed from the depths of his pupils, illuminating the entire stone wall of the secret chamber with a dazzling golden glow. Even the indestructible fourth-order restriction light hummed under this gaze.
The last remaining trace of the fifth-order Vajra Talisman's essence within his body has been completely refined.
At this moment, every bone marrow of his had transformed into a brilliant gold, as if it had been forged from ancient black gold. With a slight thought, deep within his bone marrow, a full 1,500 strands of Vajra power resounded in response, each strand containing terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth.
This level of strength has already reached the barrier of a typical late-stage fourth-level Vajra Kung Fu practitioner.
After years of arduous cultivation, his Vajra Marrow finally caught up with Thunder Crystal Marrow in terms of grade.
His dual peak mid-stage fourth-tier body refinement cultivation has brought his physical strength to an unbelievable level. In terms of the toughness of his bones and the power of his qi and blood alone, he is no less than any late-stage fourth-tier demon known for its formidable physical strength.
When it comes to defense, it's even more terrifying. He can withstand the full force of a top-grade magic weapon and the berserk spells of the late fourth tier, and he can withstand them for a long time without being at a disadvantage.
Xuan Gang's fall ultimately became a solid stepping stone on his path to enlightenment.
For a year and a half, the outside world remained calm.
Surprisingly, both the Vajra Temple and the Ji family chose to remain silent, and no one came forward to cause trouble. They had something to hide, knew they were in the wrong, and, more importantly, were afraid of trouble.
They couldn't be sure whether behind that mysterious lineage that could casually produce the Nine Yin Demon Flame, there stood a powerful being who looked down upon the world.
Now that the turmoil has subsided, Chen Yi, Xuan Yin, and the others no longer need to be on high alert and can freely enter and exit Qingyun Cave.
It was for this reason that Chen Yi saw Yue Qingqiu again.
In the reception hall of Qingyun Cave, the lingering spiritual energy was dense and did not dissipate, and the air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of top-grade spiritual tea.
Ning Bu'er sat at the head of the table.
She wore a well-tailored black jumpsuit that accentuated her stunningly long legs, making them appear even straighter and longer. Her skin looked dazzlingly white against the black dress.
Her face was aloof, but deep within her eyes lay a beauty that could captivate all beings, radiating the aura of the lady of the place.
Yue Qingqiu sat to her left.
Many years have passed, yet time has left no trace on her face. On the contrary, the accumulated essence of the moon within her body over decades has enveloped her in a gentle moonlight, giving her a warm and gentle demeanor that evokes pity.
But deep within those beautiful eyes, there always lingered a lingering sense of melancholy.
Hu Mingyue sat on the other side.
In terms of looks and figure, she was in no way inferior to the other two women, but her aura was very peculiar, carrying a sense of mortal incongruity with this blessed land.
However, the moment Chen Yi's gaze fell upon her, his spiritual sense, honed by the Vajra Marrow and Thunder Crystal Marrow, experienced a subtle tremor.
A strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
The precious pearl is covered in dust.
Divine things are naturally obscured.
The seemingly ordinary worldly aura emanating from Hu Mingyue was more like an incredibly profound veil. Beneath that thin veil lay a breathtaking essence, otherworldly and pure, like that of a celestial being from the heavens, that even he found astonishing.
