81: Broken dragon pillar, the golden body shows its power!

When the two Fairies heard that Li Yan had descended again, they felt it was unbelievable.

How could this be!

Only a few months had passed since the battle of the Demon Shadow Sect.

How could an Immortal from the Upper Realm's White Jade Capital descend to the mortal world again in such a short time?

Onyx Moon Fairy was half-convinced, even thinking that other Fellow Daoists were playing a joke on her.

It wasn't until the two of them rushed over and saw that familiar figure in the crowd.

Li Yan wore a simple Daoist robe, his long hair tied on top of his head and secured with a hairpin, his hairstyle resembling a mountain Peak, known as a “Daoist Bun,” exuding an air of spiritual cultivation in its simplicity and neatness.

Upon seeing their Revered Master again, both Fairies were incredibly excited.

“Revered Master!”

For some reason, Onyx Moon Fairy felt an inexpressible excitement within her.

She clearly cultivated the Heartless Dao, severing the seven emotions and six desires, feeling neither sorrow nor joy.

But at the moment Li Yan appeared, a strange feeling stirred ripples in her dead-still heart.

Moreover, this feeling not only did not hinder her cultivation but even helped to elevate her state of mind.

It was a very strange feeling; seeing her Revered Master, the Fairy felt much more at ease.

When she came before Li Yan, Moonlit Sword Immortal respectfully cupped her hands in greeting.

“Revered Master, have you been watching your Disciples’ actions from the Upper Realm?”

“Not long ago, we just found the location of that Divine Tomb! The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect is hiding in this Divine Tomb.”

“This old demon, disregarding the safety of the world’s common people, is attempting to awaken an ancient god with a group of Demonic Path Cultivators.”

Looking at this Sword Immortal, who was at the Great Ascension Stage cultivation, treating him as her benefactor and reporting the current situation.

Li Yan calmly replied, “Hmm, I know.”

His gaze turned to the front, to the location of the Divine Tomb.

It seemed the Divine Tomb from thirty thousand years ago was located differently from its later position.

Thirty thousand years ago, the Divine Tomb was not buried deep underground, but rather concealed within a mountain.

The Divine Tomb was hidden in a place where Yin and Yang were inverted, surrounded by black water, with putrid mist rising, and mountains twisted like the withered bones of evil spirits.

Before the tomb gate, a cold pond glowed with eerie green phosphorescence, and eight broken Dragon stone pillars stood guard in eight directions, gathering towering resentment Qi, while the Earth Vein’s Yin Qi condensed into black python phantoms, circling and roaring in the valley.

Li Yan pondered the goal of this trip…

If he could prevent the arrival of the Dharma-Ending Age, it would also be beneficial to him.

After all, in a Dharma-Ending Age lacking Spiritual Qi, it would be difficult to achieve longevity.

At the same time, the awakening of this ancient god was no joke.

When the ancient god Bloodline Emperor Lord first awakened, he drained all the Spiritual Qi from the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

If he awakened a second time in reality, and there was no Spiritual Qi to absorb, would he start eating people?

An ancient god who eats people existing in Li Yan’s world was not a good thing.

If he could change history in the dream, using the Cultivators at the Peak of the Immortal Law Era to fight the ancient god.

If he could make them Seal the ancient god again, he wouldn’t need to take risks in reality.

After all, Li Yan in the dream had an Immortal body and could fail countless times.

After clarifying his thoughts, Li Yan, possessing the characteristic of immortality, said confidently, “Everyone, follow me into the Divine Tomb.”

The two Fairies kneeling before Li Yan both rose.

Ember Immortal’s lips curved upward: “With Revered Master leading the way, we swear to follow to the death!”

The surrounding Cultivators also exclaimed in admiration.

“With an Immortal assisting us, we will surely be able to subdue those Demonic Path scoundrels!”

“Excellent, with an Immortal clearing the path for us, what more do we have to fear?”

Countless Cultivators cheered, their morale greatly boosted.

On this journey, they would surely suppress the ancient god back into its coffin, preventing those Demonic Path villains from harming the common people.

The matter of the ancient god was of great importance.

If the ancient god were released, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It would not only cause immense suffering but also embolden the Demonic Path’s arrogance.

Amidst the crowd’s escort, Li Yan passed through the Black Water River and arrived before the eight broken Dragon pillars.

Ahead was the entrance to the Divine Tomb.

Onyx Moon Fairy reminded, “Revered Master, these eight broken Dragon pillars are extremely malicious!”

And Ember Immortal beside her chuckled, “Junior Sister, won’t Revered Master, that old man, see through the trick?”

In Ember Immortal’s view, Li Yan was a High Immortal!

He was an Immortal who descended from the Upper Realm, how could he not see through the trick?

Hmm…

Li Yan indeed couldn’t see through it; with his Golden Core Stage strength, he couldn’t detect the Formation here at all.

However, Ember Immortal calling Onyue “Junior Sister” made Onyue a bit uncomfortable.

“Revered Master hasn’t designated who is Senior Sister and who is Junior Sister between us; it’s not certain yet.”

Ember Immortal’s red lips showed a playful smirk: “I proactively sought to become a Disciple, so Revered Master’s eldest Disciple must be me.”

Facing Ember Immortal’s challenging gaze, Onyue simply replied very calmly.

“After we deal with the Divine Tomb, we’ll compete to see who’s superior. If you want to be Revered Master’s eldest Disciple, let your strength speak.”

“Exactly my thoughts!”

Ember Immortal also liked Onyue’s straightforward personality, not dragging things out.

If they wanted to contend over who was Revered Master’s good Disciple, a simple competition would suffice!

In literary arts, there is no first; in martial arts, there is no second; determining a winner is the simplest.

Li Yan observed the performance of the two Fairies; their personalities were quite decisive.

After all, at their level of cultivation, they understood many things very clearly.

To gain Revered Master’s favor, they had to prove their worth and strength.

The two didn’t argue about this matter, so Li Yan also moved his steps, walking towards the eight broken Dragon pillars.

Everyone around held their breath, watching Li Yan step into the Formation.

The broken Dragon pillars… were extremely malicious things.

The eight broken Dragon pillars were forged from fossilized Dragon scales and reverse scales, with dark purple patterns resembling flowing Dragon blood.

Dragon tendons were wrapped around the pillars, confining wailing Dragon souls within, while the Dragon heads at the pillar tops were ferocious, their Dragon pearls scarlet, spewing poisonous miasma, and viscous liquid corroding the earth.

The pillar bases were covered with dense inscriptions, with black poisonous liquid flowing, scorching the land and blackening the rivers wherever it passed.

When Li Yan stepped into it, he seemed to see an inverted Bagua!

At that moment, a broken Bagua Formation rose from beneath Li Yan’s feet.

The broken Bagua was deeply embedded in the ground, with greenish-black corpse water seeping from the cracks in the trigrams.

The missing corner of the Qian position condensed a Rotten Dragon eye, while between the cracks of the Kun position, stark white bones stretched out, and the Zhen and Xun trigrams were entangled with semi-rotted Dragon tendons.

Yin poisonous Qi transformed into black mist, swirling, corrosive upon touch, and every crack was spewing out foul Qi that could corrode the Divine Soul, like an open evil mouth, waiting to devour all vitality!

[Host has entered the [Rotten God Soul-Severing Incomplete Bagua], triggering a side effect: Bloodline corrodes the Divine Soul, devouring the human form!]

[Side effect is turning positive!]

[Your Divine Soul and Spiritual Vision are increasing, and your cultivation is strengthening.]

[It is recommended that the Host absorb as much of the overflowing Shadow Bloodline as possible.]

Seeing these poisonous gases overflowing, Li Yan alone certainly couldn’t absorb all of them.

The Shadow Bloodline was drifting outwards; it would be too regrettable if it was lost.

Seeing this, Li Yan had a flash of inspiration.

“Nirvana Golden Body Avatar, appear!”

As Li Yan brought his two fingers together to form a hand Seal, a Golden Body Avatar rose from the ground, enveloping all eight broken Dragon pillars.

The Cultivators in the back let out gasps of amazement.

“The Immortal’s Golden Body Avatar can actually contain these poisonous gases.”

“The Immortal has great methods; if it weren’t for the Immortal’s intervention, we would all be infected by this poisonous gas.”

Li Yan, trying to absorb more side effects, was mistakenly thought by them to be protecting everyone.

[Host is accelerating absorption, enhancing Divine Soul and Spiritual Vision!]

[Spiritual Vision +10!]

The moment his Spiritual Vision increased, Li Yan’s pupils trembled violently.

He seemed to see something he shouldn’t have seen.
