162: Chapter 162 Seizing the Jade from the Treasure Pavilion: Breaking the Stalemate with Dual Forces, Awakening the Origin

In Front of the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures: The Ultimate Ritual of Dual Energies Initiation

Passing the stone steps after the Puppet array, the Traditional Martial Arts Allied Forces finally stood before the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures—a pavilion built entirely of "Origin Qi Energy Jade," standing about twenty meters high.

The flying eaves were carved with the "Taiji Shape Extreme Symbiosis" totem, and a gilded plaque hung from the lintel.

The three large characters "Pavilion of Supreme Treasures" shimmered with a faint golden light, nourished by the Origin Qi Energy.

The pavilion door was tightly shut, inlaid with two translucent "Dual Energies Induction Jades."

The left side was carved with Taiji Soft Energy patterns, and the right side was carved with Shape Extreme Hard Energy patterns.

It was the key to opening the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures, perfectly corresponding to Chen Wu's Taiji Shape Extreme Dual Energies.

"Finally here."

Chen Wu took a deep breath. The Four Symbols Qi Energy in his Dantian began to circulate violently. The pale golden Hard Energy and pale green Soft Energy intertwined in his palms, forming a complete Dual Energies totem.

Master Xuankong, Mu Qing, Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng, and other hidden masters gathered in front of the pavilion door, taking positions according to the "Final Version of the Dual Energies Initiation Method"—Master Xuankong on the left, injecting golden Zen Energy into the left Induction Jade, responsible for balancing the Dual Energies; Mu Qing on the right, injecting Five Elements Energy into the right Induction Jade, assisting the flow of Qi Energy; Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng and Granny Yao set up a "Flowing Cloud-Nature Protective Array" on both sides to prevent a surprise attack by the Spirit-Devouring Organization during the initiation; the Flower Girl stood in the center holding the inheritance grass, her eight-colored petals blooming toward the pavilion door, with life Qi Energy coiling like silk threads around the Dual Energies Induction Jades, providing Origin support for the initiation ritual.

The global live broadcast camera focused on the pavilion door. 280 billion viewers held their breath, watching every move of the Allied Forces members—the comment section was filled with prayers like "Go! Just one last step!" "inheritance grass, you must be powerful!" "The Dual Energies Fusion must succeed!"

Grandmaster Yang Mingyuan stood beside Chen Wu, holding the "Origin Qi Energy Bottle" from Taiji Villa, and whispered a reminder: "Remember, when injecting the Dual Energies, you must 'combine hardness and softness.' When the Induction Jade lights up to the seventh pattern, then inject the life Qi Energy of the inheritance grass. Do not rush."

Chen Wu nodded and pressed both hands onto the two Induction Jades—the Dual Energies slowly injected along his palms. The Taiji patterns on the left Induction Jade began to light up one by one, and the pale green light spread like flowing water; the Shape Extreme patterns on the right Induction Jade also lit up synchronously, and the pale golden light leaped like flames.

When both sets of patterns lit up to the sixth line, Chen Wu suddenly felt a resistance—faint Spirit-Devouring Energy remained in the Induction Jade, as if hindering the Fusion of the Dual Energies.

"It's the Spirit-Devouring Organization's backup plan!"

Master Xuankong immediately increased his Zen Energy output, the golden light pouring into the Induction Jade like a tide, slowly dispelling the Spirit-Devouring Energy; Mu Qing also adjusted his Five Elements Energy synchronously, the pale blue Water Energy diluting the residual evil Qi Energy, and the pale green Wood Energy nourishing the Origin of the Induction Jade.

"Now!"

Chen Wu seized the opportunity and signaled the Flower Girl to inject the life Qi Energy—the eight-colored petals of the inheritance grass bloomed violently, and the life Qi Energy poured into the Induction Jades like a waterfall.

Both sets of patterns lit up the seventh line simultaneously, and the pale gold and pale green lights intertwined in the center of the pavilion door to form a complete Taiji Shape Extreme totem.

"Boom—" With a muffled sound, the door of the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures slowly opened inward.

A rich wave of Origin Qi Energy rushed toward them, ten times stronger than the Origin Qi Energy pool at the Li Family Ancestral Home, making the Allied Forces members instantly feel their Dantian Qi Energy filled, and even the fatigue from the previous battles dissipated by more than half.

Behind the pavilion door, a golden beam of light extended from the second floor to the first floor.

Floating in the center of the beam was a jade the size of a fist—that was the Taiji Shape Extreme fusion jade!

The jade body was transparent, with pale gold and pale green Dual Energies flowing inside, and the same "Taiji Guardian" totem as Chen Wu's bronze badge was carved on the surface, as if it were born to be paired with the bronze badge.

"It's the fusion jade!"

Wang Lei shouted excitedly and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng: "Careful! There is a 'Qi Energy Trap' around the light beam. It is the last line of defense of the Spirit-Devouring Organization."

Sure enough, on the ground around the light beam, densely packed Spirit-Devourer runes were carved, glowing with a dark black light. As long as someone stepped in, it would trigger a "Spirit-Devouring Energy Cage."

Granny Yao knelt down and injected the life Qi Energy of the spirit fragrant grass into the ground. The pale green light spread along the runes, and the dark black light gradually faded: "These runes need to be neutralized with life Qi Energy. I need three minutes. Everyone, please guard me!"

Ultimate Counterattack: The Outbreak of the Dark Energy Envoy's Artificial Core

Just as Granny Yao was neutralizing the runes, a "crack" sound suddenly came from the roof of the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures—a piece of Origin Qi Energy Jade was forcibly broken open.

A black figure swooped down like a bat, holding a basketball-sized "Artificial Qi Energy Core" in his hand. The core glowed with a dark black light, and countless tiny Spirit-Devouring Puppet phantoms could be seen inside. It was the Dark Energy Envoy of the Spirit-Devouring Organization!

"I didn't expect you to really break through to here," the Dark Energy Envoy's voice carried a twisted smile.

The artificial core rotated in his hands, and the dark black Qi Energy shrouded the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures like black fog.

"But it doesn't matter. This core has absorbed the Qi Energy of hundreds of Spirit-Devouring Puppets, enough to blow you and the fusion jade into pieces. traditional martial arts Origin? From this moment on, it is the spoils of the Spirit-Devouring Organization!"

The Allied Forces members immediately entered combat mode—Lu Feng raised his Qi Energy armor-piercing gun and pulled the trigger at the Dark Energy Envoy; Ling Shuang threw several Qi Energy armor-piercing axes, aiming directly at the artificial core; Master Xuankong's Zen Energy shield instantly expanded, protecting the fusion jade and Granny Yao in the center.

But the Dark Energy Envoy was extremely fast and easily avoided the attacks.

The artificial core suddenly erupted with a strong dark black light, and countless tiny Spirit-Devouring Energy bullets shot out from the core, falling on the Zen Energy shield like a rainstorm, and cracks instantly appeared on the shield.

"He wants to delay time until the core is fully charged!"

Chen Wu shouted while condensing the Dual Energies. The pale gold and pale green Qi Energy formed a huge fist shadow in his palms and smashed toward the Dark Energy Envoy.

The Dark Energy Envoy did not dodge or evade, but instead held the artificial core above his head: "Come on! As long as this core explodes, the entire Taiji Secret Realm will collapse, and none of you will get out alive!"

His words made the Allied Forces members hesitate instantly—if they attacked forcefully, once the core exploded, not only would the fusion jade be destroyed, but everyone would be buried in the Secret Realm.

In the global live broadcast comment section, the viewers' hearts were in their throats: "Don't be impulsive, Teacher Chen!" "Is there any other way?" "The Dark Energy Envoy is too despicable!"

In the emergency channel of the Technical Department, Zhang Qiming sent the latest intelligence: "The weakness of the artificial core is at the 'Qi Energy output port' at the bottom. As long as the output port is destroyed, the explosion can be prevented, but someone needs to get close to the core and attack within three meters!"

"I'll go!"

Amir suddenly shouted. His Pyramid Qi Energy was best at "short-distance raids." "You attract his attention, and I will circle behind him and attack the output port!"

Chen Wu nodded immediately, and the Dual Energies fist shadow attacked the Dark Energy Envoy head-on again; Wang Lei and Li Mengmeng also attacked at the same time, their Qi Energy weapons attacking the Dark Energy Envoy's limbs, forcing him to be distracted; Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng's Flowing Cloud Qi wrapped around the Dark Energy Envoy's arm like a ribbon, and although it was quickly broken free, it bought precious time for Amir.

Amir took the opportunity to circle behind the Dark Energy Envoy, his Dantian Qi Energy erupted with full force, and the pale golden Pyramid Qi Energy condensed into a spike in his palm, stabbing toward the bottom of the artificial core—with a "pfft" sound, the spike accurately pierced the output port.

The dark black Qi Energy was instantly disordered, and the light on the core's surface began to flicker.

"No—!"

The Dark Energy Envoy tried frantically to take back the core, but was hit in the chest by Chen Wu's Dual Energies fist shadow, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

But the artificial core did not stop charging. Instead, because the output port was damaged, the dark black Qi Energy began to spread to the surroundings. The Origin Qi Energy Jade of the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures developed cracks, and the golden light beam of the fusion jade began to dim.

"Quick, get away from the core! It's going to self-destruct!"

Master Xuankong shouted, and the Zen Energy shield was strengthened again, trying to control the range of the Qi Energy explosion.

Just at this critical moment, the Flower Girl suddenly held the inheritance grass and rushed toward the light beam of the fusion jade—she placed the inheritance grass in the center of the light beam, the eight-colored petals resonated strongly with the Dual Energies of the fusion jade, and a seven-colored Qi Energy barrier instantly expanded, wrapping the artificial core inside.

"Boom!" The Artificial Core exploded within the seven-colored barrier, and the dark black Qi Energy erupted like a volcano, yet it was firmly trapped by the barrier and could not spread.

Inside the barrier, the Dual Energy of the fusion jade began to circulate violently, and the pale gold and pale green light absorbed the dark black Qi Energy like a vortex; under the purification of the Dual Energy, the originally dark black Qi Energy gradually transformed into pure Origin Qi Energy, merging into the fusion jade.

"This is... the Origin Power of the fusion jade!" Grandmaster Yang Mingyuan shouted excitedly.

"It not only balances the Dual Energy but also purifies the Spirit-Devouring Energy. This is the true power of the traditional martial arts Origin!"

After the fusion jade absorbed all the dark black Qi Energy, the golden beam of light suddenly surged, enveloping the entire Pavilion of Supreme Treasures, and the members of the Traditional Martial Arts Allied Forces felt the Qi Energy in their Dantian surging like a tide.

The Qi Energy Meridians that had been damaged in previous battles were rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the Origin Qi Energy—the Spirit-Devouring Energy scar on Wang Lei's arm completely disappeared, the purity of Amir's Pyramid Qi Energy increased by 10%, and Xiao Juan's Lightness Energy became even more agile.

The Dark Energy Envoy lay on the ground, looking at the light of the fusion jade, his eyes filled with despair: "Impossible... How could the Spirit-Devouring Energy be purified... How could the traditional martial arts Origin be so strong..."

He struggled to get up, but was held back by Lu Feng, who pressed the Qi Energy Armor-Piercing Gun against his chest: "Your conspiracy has failed. The end of the Spirit-Devouring Organization is coming soon!"

The light of the fusion jade gradually receded, slowly falling from the beam of light and flying in front of Chen Wu—Chen Wu took out the "Taiji Guardian" bronze plaque.

The bronze plaque and the fusion jade automatically merged, and the pale gold and pale green Dual Energy flowed through the bronze plaque into Chen Wu's Dantian; he felt the Qi Energy throughout his body instantly boil, and the Four Symbols Qi Energy perfectly fused with the Dual Energy, forming an even stronger "Origin Dual Energy."

"This is the complete power of the traditional martial arts Origin!" Chen Wu gripped the fusion jade tightly and said to the members of the Allied Forces, "With it, we can purify the Spirit-Devouring Energy globally, destroy all the Artificial Cores of the Spirit-Devouring Organization, and let traditional martial arts return to the Righteous Path!"

The global live broadcast camera captured this shocking scene—the moment the fusion jade and the bronze plaque merged, the Qi Energy of all traditional martial artists around the world resonated: the Qi Energy stones of the Egyptian Pyramid traditional martial arts team glowed with golden light, the traditional martial arts exercises at the workstations of the London workplace traditional martial arts squad became smoother, and when the children in the Syrian refugee camp practiced their stance, the Qi Energy sensing beads lit up with green light.

The live comments were filled with cheers: "So shocking! This is the traditional martial arts Origin!" "The fusion jade has finally returned to Teacher Chen's hands!" "The Spirit-Devouring Organization is finished!"

The data from the Technical Department showed that at this moment, the "emotional resonance" of the global audience reached 100%, and the topic of "traditional martial arts Origin Awakening" topped the trending lists in 50 countries around the world, with the view count exceeding 10 billion.

Section 4 Secret Realm Evacuation: The Victory of the Allied Forces and a New Journey.

After the aftermath of the Artificial Core explosion, although the Origin Qi Energy Jade in the Pavilion of Supreme Treasures had cracks, it did not collapse; instead, it slowly repaired itself under the nourishment of the fusion jade's Origin Qi Energy.

Granny Yao finished neutralizing the last Spirit-Devouring rune, walked to Chen Wu's side, looked at the fusion jade, and said: "After the Awakening of the fusion jade, the purification range of the Life Qi Energy has expanded tenfold. In the future, when we clear out Spirit-Devouring strongholds, as long as we carry it, we can quickly purify the Spirit-Devouring Energy and reduce casualties."

Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng unfolded the map and pointed to another exit of the Taiji Secret Realm: "During previous investigations, we discovered that there is an 'Origin Qi Energy Passage' on the back mountain, which can lead directly to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. It is half the distance of the route we took to enter, and there are no Spirit-Devouring Puppets, so we can evacuate from there."

The members of the Allied Forces packed their equipment, took the fusion jade, and set off towards the back mountain passage—at this moment, they were no longer as nervous as when they first entered the Secret Realm, but were filled with the joy of victory and anticipation for the future.

On the way to evacuate, Xiao Juan looked curiously at the fusion jade in Chen Wu's hand and asked softly: "Teacher Chen, with the fusion jade, will we soon be able to defeat the Spirit-Devouring Organization and let everyone practice traditional martial arts safely?"

Chen Wu squatted down, placed the fusion jade gently in front of Xiao Juan (separated by a Qi Energy protective shield to prevent direct contact), and said with a smile: "Yes, not only can we defeat the Spirit-Devouring Organization, but we can also spread traditional martial arts throughout the world, letting everyone know that traditional martial arts are not used for fighting, but for protection, and to make life better."

In the "evacuation perspective" of the global live broadcast, the audience watched the backs of the members of the Allied Forces, filled with emotion—Wang Lei and Amir walked side by side at the back, discussing tactics for clearing out the Spirit-Devouring strongholds; Master Xuankong and Granny Yao walked in the middle, exchanging thoughts on the Fusion of Zen Energy and Nature Qi; Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng and Mu Qing walked at the front, using Flowing Cloud Qi and Five Elements Energy to clear the rubble in the passage; the Flower Girl held the inheritance grass, holding hands with Xiao Juan, looking up from time to time at the fusion jade in Chen Wu's hand, her eyes filled with longing.

When the members of the Allied Forces walked out of the back mountain passage and saw the special department support team and representatives of global martial arts fans waiting at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd—Old Zhao brought the construction workers, holding up a banner that read "Success in Retrieving the traditional martial arts Jade"; Amir's Egyptian Pyramid traditional martial arts team waved flags with "traditional martial arts Origin Awakening" written on them; the white-collar workers of the London workplace traditional martial arts squad held up signs that read "Workplace traditional martial arts Await Cleanup."

Zhang Qiming stepped forward and saluted Chen Wu and the members of the Allied Forces: "Welcome home! You have completed the greatest mission in the history of traditional martial arts!"

Section 5 Legacy Eternal: The Future of traditional martial arts and Global Resonance.

That night, Taiji Villa held the "traditional martial arts Origin Awakening Celebration Banquet," and traditional martial artists around the world participated simultaneously via live broadcast—Chen Wu placed the fusion jade in the center of the Taiji Platform, and the Origin Qi Energy spread like ripples, enveloping the entire villa.

Everyone present felt the warmth of the traditional martial arts Origin; the hidden masters demonstrated the "Application of Origin Dual Energy" on the spot: Master Xuankong used Zen Energy to fuse with the Origin Qi Energy, purifying a piece of Qi Energy stone that had been polluted by Spirit-Devouring Energy; Mu Qing used Five Elements Energy to fuse with the Origin Qi Energy, causing the withered trees in the villa to instantly sprout new buds; Daoist Priest Yun Qingfeng used Flowing Cloud Qi to fuse with the Origin Qi Energy, drawing seven-colored Qi Energy trajectories in the sky above the Taiji Platform, drawing bursts of cheers.

At the celebration banquet, Chen Wu announced the "Global traditional martial arts Cleanup Plan": Step one, led by the Traditional Martial Arts Allied Forces, global traditional martial artists will clear out 3 Spirit-Devouring strongholds around Zhongnan Mountain to test the purification effect of the fusion jade; Step two, establish "traditional martial arts Origin Qi Energy Stations" in 100 countries around the world, using the fusion jade's Origin Qi Energy to provide Qi Energy supplies and Spirit-Devouring Energy purification for local traditional martial artists; Step three, unite with special departments to destroy the headquarters of the Spirit-Devouring Organization, completely resolve the Spirit-Devouring threat, and let traditional martial arts return to peaceful Legacy.

Representatives of global martial arts fans responded one after another—Old Zhao promised that the construction site traditional martial arts team would form an "Infrastructure Support Squad" to provide help for the construction of the Qi Energy stations; the London workplace traditional martial arts squad stated that they would promote "Origin Qi Energy Health Exercises" in office buildings, allowing more people to feel the power of the traditional martial arts Origin; the Egyptian Pyramid traditional martial arts team planned to use the fusion jade's Origin Qi Energy to restore the ancient traditional martial arts manuals in the pyramids, allowing the ancient martial arts Legacy to rejuvenate.

The final image of the global live broadcast lingered on the fusion jade on the Taiji Platform—the jade body glowed with pale gold and pale green Dual Energy, the inheritance grass bloomed with eight-colored petals nearby, and the virtual avatars of global martial arts fans surrounded the fusion jade through holographic projection, forming a huge "traditional martial arts Guardian" totem.

Neat lines of text scrolled in the live comments: "Dual Energy breaks the deadlock to seize the Origin, traditional martial arts Awakening protects the human world; global hearts unite to clear away evil, Legacy continues for ten million years!"

300 billion viewers lit up their screens at the same time, forming a "River of Origin Light" that crossed national borders, intertwining with the night sky of Taiji Villa, illuminating the future of traditional martial arts.

Chen Wu stood beside the fusion jade, watching everything before him, the Origin Dual Energy in his Dantian circulating slowly—he knew that the successful retrieval of the jade was not the end, but a new beginning for the Legacy of traditional martial arts; as long as global traditional martial artists uphold the original intention of "guarding," and unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

The light of traditional martial arts will eventually illuminate every corner of the world, allowing the concept of "traditional martial arts guard everyone, and everyone inherits traditional martial arts" to be passed down forever.
