N-A-A Chapter 827 Five Demonic Diagrams! The Primordial Light Appears!
Chapter 827 Five Demonic Diagrams! The Primordial Light Appears!
The group searched the Ice Crystal Palace thoroughly, almost digging three feet into the ground, but ultimately found nothing unexpected or surprising.
This Ice Crystal Palace is like a crystal coffin, completely sealed. No one knows how the five yellow-robed Taoists got in.
After leaving the Ice Crystal Palace, Chu Yang led these people back along the ghost vein they had come from, his eyes always gleaming with blue light as he studied the ancient scripture.
The ancient scripture does not record cultivation techniques or martial arts secrets; rather, it is a somewhat evil method.
The ancient scripture is called the Five Demon Diagram, and it was specially created for the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
It is considered evil because cultivating the Five Demon Diagrams requires "refining people," and even living people!
They used living people as a catalyst to refine the five deities into the divine treasures of the Dao Palace, thereby transforming them into demon gods.
The stronger the demon's constitution, the more powerful the demon god becomes.
Once the Five Demon Diagrams are completed, one can integrate the five great demonic forces into oneself.
To give a simple example, if Chu Yang cultivates the Five Demon Diagram and uses the five Divine King Bodies as demonic guides, he can simultaneously possess the five Divine King Bodies!
Of course, this is only in theory, because the Five Classics clearly state that even if one possesses a terrifying physique, the Dao Palace Divine Treasury can only withstand two divine bodies as demonic guides at most, let alone a Divine King body.
The Ancient Sacred Body is a taboo subject of the Five Demon Diagrams. Not to mention how difficult it is to refine the Ancient Sacred Body into a Demonic Guide, even if it is successful, this single Demonic Guide would be enough to burst the Dao Palace's Divine Treasury!
An ancient text offers a suggestion: if one specializes in cultivating the Dao Palace Secret Realm, one might be able to break through the limits.
The five dried corpses they had seen earlier had clearly been turned into demonic artifacts by the Ice Palace Master.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the yellow-robed Taoist, having just undergone a metamorphosis and before he could refine the demon core of his old body, was plotted against by the master of the Ice Palace.
"A secret realm for cultivating Daoist practices?" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Five Demon Diagrams reminded him of the Ruthless Great Emperor, but compared to the Ruthless Great Emperor's Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the Five Demon Diagrams followed a more extreme path, yet its upper limit was far lower than that of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
The blue light in his eyes faded, mainly because he wasn't pondering the Five Demon Diagrams.
He could not possibly cultivate this secret technique, because the essence of the Five Demon Diagram lies in the five deities within the Dao Palace's divine treasury; only with deities can one transform into a demon god.
However, his four divine treasures were empty, so he couldn't practice them even if he wanted to.
The Six Treasuries Immortal Thief secretly corresponds to the Dao Palace Secret Realm. If the five internal organs could be connected with the "Six Treasuries," Chu Yang simply dared not imagine how powerful it would become!
Others only have five divine treasures, but they cultivate the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, yet they can have six more for no reason!
Of course, these are all just his speculations, because even now, he has not been able to integrate the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief into the Dao Palace.
If this can be achieved in the future, it will be equivalent to creating a method comparable to the Emperor's Scripture, and it can also be called the strongest cultivation method for the Dao Palace!
Perhaps cultivating a single secret realm is also a way to achieve enlightenment...
However, it's too early to think about these things now, and Chu Yang doesn't plan to give away the Five Demon Diagram.
It's better not to practice this at all; once you start, you're embarking on a one-way road where you'll be the enemy of the world!
Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same high ceiling as the inheritance of ruthless people, so it's somewhat of a loss.
However, if the method of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief can be deduced and complemented by the Five Demon Diagram, it will surely shine brightly.
However, the Five Demon Diagram only has the method to condense and fuse the five demonic guides. Even if it were possible to open up eleven divine treasures within the Dao Palace, the Five Demon Diagram would still need to be further perfected...
Eleven Magic Maps?
Putting his thoughts aside, these ideas are still just idealistic; to confirm them, he'll have to see the monkey again.
The monkey was his first experimental subject. If the Qi Source Flow can be used to specialize in cultivating the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, then the Six Treasures Immortal Thief can most likely succeed as well.
However, Chu Yang himself was too special. He had created a small world in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, but there were no gods in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Compared to when they arrived, the group was several times faster. They had already figured out the secret of the Burial Ground of Immortals and realized that they had been scaring themselves all along, so they naturally had fewer concerns.
Stepping out of the passageway and standing amidst the ruins, Li Heishui remarked with some emotion, "For ruins to still exist after countless years, this place must have once been a supreme immortal sect!"
"I really don't know... just how terrifying was the owner of that ice palace back then?"
Liu Kou, on the other hand, acted nonchalantly, chuckling, "This Burial Ground of Immortals isn't as dangerous as I imagined..."
Upon hearing this, the way the others looked at him immediately changed. Qin Yao smiled and said, "Why don't you turn around and go inside for a walk? See if you encounter any danger?"
Liu Kou chuckled awkwardly and remained silent.
He also knew that this was because Chu Yang was there; otherwise, he didn't know what strange things he would have encountered underground.
Indeed, the most dangerous thing about this Demon Burial Ground is not the terrifying beings within it, but the extremely terrifying terrain itself!
However, after Chu Yang fused Origin Techniques with the techniques of otherworldly beings, his mastery in this area has far surpassed that of the Origin Celestial Master lineage.
It can be said that from the moment he stepped into the Ghost Vein, Chu Yang had already seen through the terrain, and his "power" was always suppressing the "power" of the Burial Immortal Land!
That's why everyone escaped unscathed on their journey; otherwise, even if a top-tier expert had come, they would likely have faced dire consequences.
"Brother Chu, shall we continue deeper?" Li Heishui asked, glancing enviously at the Golden-Winged Roc King.
They all felt that the Golden-Winged Roc King had gained the most from this trip, obtaining the remains and demon core of a supreme demon, which had endless uses.
Only the big black dog was secretly watching Chu Yang, and it was 100% certain that the Xuan Jade Bed had a hidden secret!
It even felt that those six corpses were not simple!
Otherwise, why would Chu Yang put all of these away?
It can only be said that the Black Emperor has a keen sense for treasures. The Jade Bed does indeed contain hidden secrets, but its imagination is a bit too wild.
Those six corpses were truly without any problems; they were merely of some value to Chu Yang.
"Go further ahead... this burial ground is already half-ruined and can no longer be considered a truly dangerous place, so naturally there will be little to gain."
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Since we're already here, we should at least try to extract some divine resources to take back!"
This isn't considered a dangerous place?
Li Heishui's lips twitched slightly, and he secretly made up his mind that if Chu Yang wasn't with him, he would never enter any forbidden zone again, even if it meant death!
In fact, the Burial Ground of Immortals is not a dangerous place at all, and it is not even as dangerous as the original Five Fiends Burial Ground of Demons.
Because the terrain here has been completely altered by the Ice Palace's owner, and Chu Yang felt that the Ice Palace's main purpose...
It's probably to ward off the strange things in the Primordial Ancient Mine!
From this perspective, the Ice Palace Master's strength was not as great as he had imagined; he was most likely just a Saint King, or at most a Great Saint.
The terrain, entirely modified by human hands and created by a great sage, has been transformed over countless years. Even if it was once a deadly place, it is no longer a threat.
When Puyang first discovered the Five Fiends Burial Ground, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that he would find such terrain in the outer area of the Primordial Ancient Mine so soon after entering it.
Perhaps after he realized that the Burial Ground of Demons had been transformed into the Burial Ground of Immortals, he lost interest. Since he was already there, he led everyone inside to investigate.
Fortunately, the Ice Palace Master gave him a surprise, and he received a large chunk of Huayue Cold Iron.
The Supreme Immortal Gold, the size of a human head, is unique in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
The sky was dark, and the entire Primordial Ancient Mine seemed to be shrouded in a thick, dark cloud, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Chu Yang always kept the four stars on Qin Yao and the other three, so that they could provide light and also protect them from the strange phenomena.
The stars contain runes of the Great Dao of Ignorance, making them a "divine artifact" for exploring forbidden zones of life!
Neither the power of "Wilderness" in the Forbidden Land nor the strange phenomena within the Primordial Ancient Mine could cross the line.
Of course, if you encounter some powerful beings, the stars will not be of any use.
Resisting the strange is one thing, facing a powerful enemy is another. In the end, these stars can only be considered as a vessel that has initially woven together the Dao and the principles.
After traveling thousands of miles, Black Emperor, who was at the very back of the group, suddenly turned around as if possessed, and then jumped three feet high in fright.
"A ghost...a ghost!!!"
This shout startled Li Heishui and Liu Kou in front of them, making their hair stand on end.
The Golden-Winged Roc King turned his head sharply, and the Great Wilderness Halberd appeared in his hand.
Qin Yao couldn't help but clench Chu Yang's hand a little tighter, her palms slightly sweaty.
Chu Yang turned his head speechlessly, then paused for a moment.
In the darkness in the distance, a blurry white shadow could be vaguely seen drifting toward them at an extremely fast speed.
"Could it be... that we've alerted some terrifying being in the forbidden zone?" Liu Kou's mouth felt a little dry.
He was referring to the supreme being of the forbidden zone, but he hadn't yet reached that level, so he could only describe him as a terrifying being.
Li Heishui retorted irritably, "Do you think beings capable of rivaling emperors are as common as cabbages?"
Throughout history, many great emperors have conquered the forbidden zones of life, so most cultivators know that the terrifying beings within the forbidden zones of life are enough to rival even the great emperors!
Chu Yang looked suspicious; he felt something was amiss.
Blue light flickered in his eyes, his vision pierced through the darkness, but he could not make out the white figure; he could only see a hazy glow.
If it's something strange in the Primordial Ancient Mine, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to see through it!
The white figure gave him the same feeling as when he encountered the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in Yuancheng; it seemed to be some kind of treasure that could block prying eyes.
The white figure drew closer. Black Emperor, hunched over as if ready to flee at any moment, suggested, "How about... we go around it?"
Chu Yang frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'd like to see what kind of monsters and demons these are!"
As he spoke, the God-Slaying Sword Formation within his body trembled slightly, with each God-Slaying Sword poised to strike.
However, at that moment, he suddenly paused.
Because Chu Yang felt that the white figure looked somewhat familiar when he got closer...
"Damn it! It's the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang!?!" Li Heishui recognized the person and immediately jumped up in anger.
I thought it was some terrifying being, but it turns out it was just someone playing tricks!
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, and the God-Slaying Sword Formation within his body stopped trembling.
However, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Why would Yao Xi be here?
Looking back, Ye Fan made many moves in the Southern Region and had many conflicts with the Yao Guang Holy Land, but Yao Xi was never seen in any of these things.
Even when he was fighting against Yao Guang Holy Land in Yuan City, neither Yao Guang Holy Son nor Yao Xi showed up.
It's not hard to understand why the Holy Son of Yao Guang is like this. He carries the legacy of the Ruthless Man, and if the Ruthless Man's lineage isn't confident, even if they destroy the Yao Guang Holy Land, they won't let him take any risks rashly.
But what about Yao Xi?
She has no connection whatsoever with the Ruthless Ones lineage; she belongs to the Holy Lord's lineage and is destined to be the Holy Lord's future wife.
When the Holy Land of Yaoguang suffered a great change and faced a life-or-death crisis, how could she be absent?
Now it seems... that we are trapped in this primordial ancient mine?
Chu Yang knew that Ye Fan had visited the Primordial Ancient Mine before going to the Holy City, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Looking back now, in the original story, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, and Yao Xi joined forces to venture into the Primordial Ancient Mine and encountered Ye Fan.
But the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was still in the Holy City, and the small grand gathering was causing quite a stir. She was waiting for Chu Yang to come to her door.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang secretly stirred up trouble, trying every means to deal with Chu Yang and seize his past life's origin.
So...
Yao Xi came here on her own and didn't encounter Ye Fan, which is why she's been trapped until now.
After roughly understanding the situation, Chu Yang's expression immediately became strange.
This woman is quite bold; she dared to enter a forbidden zone all by herself!
The white figure drew closer and closer, then quickly stopped, seemingly wary of the figures ahead.
Immediately afterwards, Yao Xi suddenly turned and ran!
Chu Yang looked suspicious, while Li Heishui yelled at the top of his lungs, "Witch! Where do you think you're going!"
"Hehehe... Stay and serve as a furnace for the Demon Lord!"
Although he was shouting, he didn't move an inch. His face was full of excitement and schadenfreude, clearly trying to scare the other person.
It's unclear what Yao Xi experienced in the Primordial Ancient Mine, but she was so close just now that she must have recognized Chu Yang and the others. However, instead of coming closer, she ran away without saying a word.
"Leave her here! No one dares to walk in this forbidden zone alone; she must be carrying something incredibly valuable!"
With a roar, the Black Emperor's leather armor glowed brightly, and lightning surged as it charged out.
"We can't let this damned dog eat all the food!" Liu Kou actually sent out a black tower, which he placed on his head and followed closely behind.
"The desolate tower?" Qin Yao exclaimed in surprise.
Li Heishui shook his head and said, "It's just a replica. When we parted ways in the Holy City, Jiang Huai Ren was afraid something might happen to us, so he lent us this replica of the Desolate Tower."
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. He knew that the Jiang family had been researching imperial weapons, trying to replicate another desolate tower, but they had only produced some imitations.
However, Jiang Yi's lineage had long since broken away from the Jiang family, so there was no reason for the Jiang family to give this treasure to his grandson for nothing. It was most likely that the old god king had done something in the middle.
The Golden-Winged Roc King's eyes flashed as he turned to look at Chu Yang. After the latter nodded slightly, he picked up the Great Wilderness Halberd and charged out as well.
The Black Emperor had been secretly eyeing him all along, and the Golden-Winged Roc King was also harboring a grudge, wanting to take the opportunity to disgust the other party and snatch the treasure from Yao Xi.
"Why aren't you going?" Chu Yang asked Li Heishui.
Li Heishui sighed and said, "My grandfather didn't have much of a foundation; he didn't leave me any treasures. I can't compete with them!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. He casually pulled out a fire poker and tossed it to Li Heishui, saying, "A black face needs a black poker. This weapon is yours!"
He figured that it would be difficult for Li Heishui and Liu Kou to find any suitable opportunities in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The two were willing to help in Yuancheng, and now they're following me into the forbidden zone of life; I can't let them work for nothing… (End of Chapter)
