It’s rare for a Primordial Spirit Master to step out and attract the attention of those Masters hidden in the Court. With his Golden Lotus Concealment Method, he might be able to approach these two places.
Additionally, Zhang Jian has his own inference and judgment.
This is possibly the time when the Court’s defense is at its weakest.
The Cave God Patriarch hasn’t returned, and Huang He Ancestor went to the Northern Land some time ago to search for Jingming Daoist and to help Grand General Wang You suppress the rebellion.
The Court is possibly left with only the Primordial Spirit Master deep within the East Mausoleum.
There might be hidden strong ones, but the defense is definitely not as tight as before.
As he weighed these two locations for a moment, he made his decision.
He would head to the Three-eyed Exorcism Well for a look.
Although the East Mausoleum contains a Dragon Vein, Zhang Jian has always been cautious of the unknown entity that abruptly caused lightning strikes before.
Every time he thinks of that thing, he always feels a sudden pulse of danger.
Clearly, the Daqian Royal Family has hidden a powerful weapon inside.
But the area of the Three-eyed Exorcism Well is much safer.
There is also a Dragon Vein below.
Though it is the ’Dragon Vein of the Former Dynasty’!
There would still be some valuable aspects.
And with Huang He Daoist originally guarding the place having left, this is truly a heaven-sent opportunity.
...
Zhang Jian operated the Golden Lotus Concealment Method, his figure like a wisp of breeze, silently slipping into Haojing.
Inside Haojing, the Dragon and Tiger Qi surged.
Zhang Jian noticed that the Dragon and Tiger Qi began to be efficiently utilized by Dong Shen Temple, with each Daoist Temple as a node, equipped with special Dharma Artifacts. The Dragon and Tiger Qi seemed to form a grid, with numerous divine beings patrolling, preventing ordinary cultivators from recklessly moving.
These arrangements formed a type of special control system, where any cultivator with Dao practice attempting to move would be easily detected by Daoists from Dong Shen Temple, who would come knocking.
Yet they could not detect Zhang Jian, who was covered by the Golden Lotus Concealment Method, his form seemed blended with the spiritual mechanism flowing through heaven and earth, moving without causing any ripple of spiritual mechanism.
Such an innate divine ability is quite profound.
At the front of Chengguang Sect
Zhang Jian landed silently, seeing a newly constructed Daoist Temple nearby.
Originally guarded by Dong Jue Daoist, it was now taken over by Dongxiao Daoist, whose Dao practice was even stronger.
The area was also filled with many hidden disciples from Dong Shen Temple.
Witnessing this, Zhang Jian smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a gentle cyan light flowed from his fingertips.
This was the Soul Purifying Talisman forming the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus, capable of transcending Yin souls, piercing through the Yin and Yang realms, and bewildering Divine Souls.
As the light flowed through, silent runes slipped unnoticed into the spirit platforms of the Daoists of Dong Shen Temple, securing their souls in place, rendering them immobile.
Having dealt with the external sentries, Zhang Jian looked towards the interior of the Daoist Temple.
Dongxiao Daoist could be considered an ’old friend’ of his, though now he had to temporarily trouble him.
Zhang Jian transformed into a streak of light and merged inside.
Inside the Daoist Temple, Dongxiao Daoist had already been startled by the grand commotion over Haojing City, watching the spectacle.
Watching the two magnificent Divine Lights of the Primordial Spirit, his heart was filled with awe, pondering over the techniques of Immortal Skills being displayed, making his soul yearn.
While such Immortal Skills had little sound effect, each technique once struck upon blood and flesh would unleash immense power.
He was watching the spectacle, momentarily feeling peculiar as he saw the two Divine Lights transform into two exquisite women, shedding their robes, with nine gigantic tails quietly spreading, blocking the view of the temple. Such an alluring scene made his Yin Spirit tingle.
"Not right!"
He instantly stirred awake, breaking out in cold sweat from his back.
"Audacious demon! How dare you bewilder my mind..."
Screaming, yet his hands were skilled, as bolts of Thunder Light appeared under his magical robe, but swiftly he found his Yin Spirit was paralyzed, various magical powers were out of control.
This couldn’t help but make him horrified.
If the Seven-tailed Celestial Fox were here, it would realize this was the mystic technique of the Celestial Fox Palace’s lineage!
"Demon God Dance!"
And as Zhang Jian unfolded it, it bore additional powers to bewilder the Heavenly Dao, like a demon god leisurely arriving in the void, the enchanting dance swayed the monkey mind, causing even Dongxiao Daoist’s millennium True Yang to stir restlessly, his expression was stunned.
And suddenly a hand descended from the void, palm covering the back of his head, effortlessly sealing the erupting Grotto God Five Extremes Thunder Skill within him.
With just a light press, carrying the weight of mountains and rivers.
Such talent of this silhouette nearly made Dongxiao Daoist’s hair stand on end.
"Finished!"
His mind had only this thought before he lost consciousness.
Zhang Jian at this moment raised his hand, within it flowed strands of starlight.
This is the Starlight Soul-Binding Technique, derived from the stars, capable of closing off entrances and trapping the Yin Spirit.
Using various techniques effortlessly.
In terms of the Yin Spirit Realm, he was indeed insanely strong, as to whether he could contend with a Primordial Spirit Master, Zhang Jian had not tried and of course did not wish to.
Having dealt with Dongxiao Daoist and the others in the temple, Zhang Jian’s figure appeared before the Three-eyed Exorcism Well.
At this moment the wellmouth was reinforced with runes, nine tall Demon-Suppressing Steles stood, iron chains stretching deep into the well, within Zhang Jian’s spiritual gaze more countless blue thunders formed runes penetrating the wellbottom, almost unified with the Golden Solar Magic at the bottom.
This array solely functioned in suppression, confinement, and also served as a warning.
Zhang Jian’s vast Yin Spirit Divine Sense seeped like mercury beneath the ground, his figure suddenly vanished, reappearing moments later, with a few bell shaped items molded like dough in hand.
These were the warning Dharma Artifacts.
Then he reached out gently to pinch the iron chains, where thunders similarly appeared, his palms acting dexterously like plucking a pipa, in each rune selecting, linking, altering a part of the Golden Solar Magic’s runes, changing the structure, from series to parallel, disabling portions of the rune pathways.
After these rune alterations, one part of the nine Demon Suppression Locks immediately failed, opening a loophole, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, he instantly transformed into a breeze and slipped inside.
Such an act, akin to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect’s Yin Spirit Venerable last time, in his view, bore no technical finesse whatsoever.
Using his expertise in Talismanic Literature, he could accomplish this more simply.
Sparing effort and worry.
At the bottom of the well, Zhang Jian’s figure naturally manifested, seeing layers of Pure Yang Golden Light covering the void, but due to the spiritual light encircling him, it was instantly obliterated.
In his palm flowed an intangible Seven-Colored Divine Light.
This somewhat resembled the Lifebound Divine Light of the Phoenix Spirit, with Yin Yang and Five Elements flowing inside.
Yet differing from Phoenix Spirit’s divine light capable of containing all treasures, collecting people and items, this Seven-Colored Divine Light in his hand instead extracted the transformations of Yin Yang and Five Elements within.
Though having comprehended various techniques, Zhang Jian did not blindly pursue quantity, preferring to integrate them within Heaven and Earth Legal Principles, blending them into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
As for those techniques, those were comprehended incidentally.
Having breached the Golden Solar Magic, Zhang Jian now noticed a treasure mirror above, where golden light once more erupted from within.
That was Dong Shen Temple’s great treasure of the Pure Yang Realm.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the well, threads of blood color surfaced from the water, rapidly reddening, with intense resentment, Yin Qi emerging, and a repressed Corpse Qi.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian’s gaze shifted.
He knew it to be the location of the Emperor’s Corpse.
"Don’t rush, soon you’ll be released to stretch your bones!"
