33: Qiantang Lord's Conspiracy, Emperor Huangquan's Cave

"It's true... the Ancestor's records are real..."

Yan Chixia's expression was agitated. He reached out his rough hand and stroked the petrified white Dragon corpse.

Immediately, a faint glow emanated from the Dragon corpse, resonating with Yan Chixia's Qi.

"This is probably the method left behind by the Ancestor of the Yan Family, Lord Qiantang..."

Gu Changsheng watched silently.

At this moment, Yan Chixia showed a hint of shame, but still spoke with determination: "Brother Han is exceptionally intelligent, and I presume he has already discerned the origin of this Dragon corpse.

It's not that Brother Yan deliberately concealed it, but one must always be on guard.

This Dragon corpse involves a secret of the Yan Family, so... let's part ways here for now."

As he spoke, Yan Chixia, as if having made up his mind, pulled out a triangular talisman with complex patterns carved on it, exuding a rich vitality.

"This is a soul return talisman. Once the Nether Passage closes, Brother Han can use this to leave Yellow Springs Mountain... consider it a small compensation from Brother Yan."

Gu Changsheng's eyes flickered imperceptibly, then returned to normal.

"Since Brother Yan has his reasons... then let's part ways here.

Thank you, Brother Yan, for the soul return talisman..."

Gu Changsheng smiled as he accepted the soul return talisman.

Watching Yan Chixia gradually disappear into the depths of the Dragon Dao, his expression grew cold.

"It seems the Old Ancestor of the Yan Family left behind quite a Legacy, but... why hide it on Yellow Springs Mountain?

Allowing generations of the Yan Family descendants to throw their lives away one after another?

Never mind, it just so happens I also needed an excuse to separate.

After all... I don't want the scene of refining Yellow Springs Mountain to fall into the eyes of outsiders."

Gu Changsheng closed his eyes, sensing the aura of Yellow Springs Mountain. His body trembled slightly, and the Yuanshan Body Fusion Technique within him began to operate on its own, as if a glutton had spotted a delicious meal.

Gu Changsheng punched out a huge, deep pit. The earth veins, imperceptible to outsiders, were as conspicuous to him as a bonfire in the dark night.

He formed a hand seal, and wisps of dark, living-like Qi gathered at his fingertips.

"That's right, this is indeed the source of Yellow Springs Mountain's earth veins. The efficiency of refining Nine Nether Yellow Springs Evil here is much higher than at the foot of the mountain.

It was the correct choice to venture to the Peak earlier.

Perhaps before the True Core, I have a chance to cultivate the Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light ahead of schedule..."

For the cultivation of Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light, besides cultivation support and yin-attribute Materials, the most crucial Material is Nine Nether Yellow Springs Evil.

And as for these yin-attribute Materials, Gu Changsheng had collected quite a lot of other shore flowers and nether spring water along the way. Coupled with the yin crystal stones he had accumulated before, his confidence in cultivating the Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light was at least ninety percent.

Gu Changsheng drew the Dragon Roar Sword he wore. A streak of green light swept out from the sword body, transforming into a finely carved, jade-like Tong Er.

"Tong Er, your Old Master wants to cultivate a Divine Ability.

You shall remain outside and act as my Protector. If there are any disturbances, kill them without mercy."

"Yes, Old Master."

The Azure Dragon Child stood holding his sword, vigilantly looking around.

On the other side, Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, pushing the Yuanshan Body Fusion Technique to its limit. Wisps of Nine Nether Yellow Springs Evil seeped out from the mountain, gradually forming a black cocoon that enveloped Gu Changsheng.

A profound and mysterious aura emanated from the cocoon... In the hidden entrance of Yellow Springs Mountain.

Xuan Xin stood before a bronze door, lotus leaves flying like blades, easily cleaving through the Netherworld Beasts that were entrenched outside the door.

However, the dense Yellow Springs aura surged, and the scattered black Qi quickly reformed, creating a brand new Netherworld Beast.

"These Netherworld Beasts are barely at the True Core. I can kill them with one palm.

But with the unique conditions of this place, they are quite troublesome."

Xuan Xin thought to herself in the Dark Path.

Then, she patted her waist, and a white lotus treasure lamp flew into the Void Realm. The lamp's shadow cast an ancient green light, and immediately the Netherworld Beasts melted like snow meeting spring sunshine.

"Finally, they are all killed..."

Xuan Xin calmed her Qi and looked at the bronze door. Her fingertip traced ancient seal script clearly carved on it.

It was precisely the characters 'Yellow Springs'.

Suspended above the door was a fist-sized gray stone, emitting a mystical light that covered an area of ten feet.

To enter the Immortal Cave, one must pass through the mystical light.

Xuan Xin tried several times, but still made no progress.

"Grandmaster, how can I Break through the mystical light emitted by the three lives stone and enter the Immortal Cave?"

"Foolish child."

A black shadow emerged from Xuan Xin's body, vaguely revealing the image of an old woman.

"The methods left by the Yellow Springs Great Emperor, even in my Peak, would be impossible to break.

That powerful being is rumored to be able to possess billions of Clones, walking through the Mortal World of demons, monsters, and humans in various identities, leaving behind many Legacies.

Only those who have cultivated the Yellow Springs Great Emperor's cultivation method, those who enter the Dao by dying and then being reborn, can obtain the remaining Treasure Trove.

For now, don't even think about it.

Quickly follow the secret method I taught you earlier to use the three lives stone to illuminate your soul and eliminate the hidden dangers in your soul sea."

With the Treasure before her, yet only able to stare, even with Xuan Xin's firm Heart-Nature, it was inevitable that she felt a bit frustrated.

"The Yellow Springs lineage's cultivation method actually requires dying first and then being reborn, which is simply absurd... I can only plan for it slowly in the future..."

Xuan Xin gritted her silver teeth, glared resentfully at the bronze door, then sat cross-legged, forming hand seals, and absorbing wisps of mystical light into her body... In the depths of the dark Dragon corpse.

Yan Chixia was bound by eighteen chains formed by Yellow Springs Qi, unable to move.

His face was covered with strange patterns, and not far away, wisps of dark soul aura continuously poured into his glabella from a Dragon Pearl.

Yan Chixia's face became distorted, his eyes filled with intense fear, and his body trembled.

He had originally thought that the depths of the Dragon corpse concealed the Treasure Trove left by Lord Qiantang, but he hadn't expected it to be a wisp of a remnant soul.

At this moment, it was forcibly entering his soul sea for Possession.

"Why! Ancestor, I am your descendant!"

Yan Chixia roared.

The next moment, Yan Chixia's expression changed, as if he had become a different person, and he let out an old voice: "Descendant?

Haha, before the Great Dao, blood relatives, parents, and children can all be refined into great blood and flesh pills.

Let alone you, a distant descendant separated by who knows how many generations, with a weak Bloodline... Give up, the source of the Yan Family Bloodline is me, and it's time for it to return to me."

"No!"

A moment later, Yan Chixia was drenched in sweat. His drooping head lifted, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

The Yellow Springs Qi chains that had bound his body also instantly dissipated.

He moved his limbs as if using them for the first time, his movements twisted and extremely uncoordinated, but in a few breaths, he returned to normal.

"Haha, from death to life... My incomplete Huangquan Sutra has finally reached the introductory stage... Haha!"

Lord Qiantang laughed wildly.

Three hundred years ago, he had cultivated to the True Core Peak, and by chance, obtained the Huangquan Sutra cultivation method, discovering a Legacy of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor hidden on Yellow Springs Mountain.

Immediately, his mind became active.

His own cultivation method was extraordinary, but compared to the Huangquan Sutra, it was miles apart.

Especially with his Lifespan dwindling and no hope of Breaking through to Profound Cave, he could only turn his attention to the Huangquan Sutra.

To this end, he spared no effort in planning for three hundred years, using the Yan Family's blood relatives as a medicinal primer, attempting to go from death to life.

However, the Possession method was a near-death experience.

The first nine Possessions of the Yan Family descendants were all unsuccessful, and his soul gradually weakened.

Just as Lord Qiantang was gradually losing hope, Yan Chixia appeared.

The tenth Possession was indeed successful.

"I just finished the Possession, and my soul is too weak. Fortunately, the Huangquan Sutra contains a secret art of refining essence into spirit..."

Lord Qiantang formed a hand seal, and his body rapidly shriveled, like a dried corpse.

His eyes, however, became increasingly clear, full of vitality and spirit.

"No, my Qi and Blood are still not enough... Let me see, this place has actually attracted quite a few little mice... Hehe, just enough to replenish my Qi and Blood..."

Lord Qiantang narrowed his eyes, fixing on a Spirit Building Stage cultivator in the distance.

A moment later, a scream echoed from Yellow Springs Mountain.

Lord Qiantang's lips were covered in blood, but his body had filled out, revealing the outline of solid muscles: "Three... just three more, and I can recover and attempt to impact the True Core."

His figure disappeared again, his aura firmly locked onto one person.
