Jiang Ming valued this trip to the Dao Palace Realm very much. He remembered that there was a bed made of a large piece of Chaos Stone there. Chaos Stone was a treasure that was even more precious than the Heritage Saint Material. It was a byproduct of Chaos Stone Marrow and the weapon of the Emperor Wushi, the Wushi Bell, which was forged using Chaos Stone Marrow.
The fact that the Black Emperor mentioned the palace and bed here in the original storyline, which is related to the Emperor Wushi, is enough to explain everything.
As soon as Jiang Ming's four Totem Deity entered the ancient tomb, they immediately felt a chilling, eerie aura that could erode divine consciousness.
Not only that, but a vast expanse of ghostly Yin Soldiers Yin Horses has formed here, numbering in the tens of thousands.
However, Jiang Ming's four Dao Palace Totem Deity were not afraid at all. Each of them raised a large banner to protect the way. In particular, the totem Vermilion Bird Deity was the most domineering. The moment the Fire-Element Banner was raised, a terrifying and boundless purple aura rushed out from the banner, directly opening up a passage. The Yin Soldiers Ghost General along the way were directly turned into ashes.
Purple Qi Eastward Flame.
This is a large quantity of flames collected from the Fire Domain, powerful enough to kill Half-Step Great Ability. These evil spirits cannot possibly touch it.
Of course, Jiang Ming's purpose was not to kill these Yin Soldiers. The main reason was that there were too many such things in the underground palace. After his deity appeared, the fluctuation of Yang energy attracted a siege.
After clearing the path forward, a Divine-Demon Dao Diagram flew out from between the eyebrows of Jiang Ming's White Tiger Totem Deity. The diagram rotated, and seven skeletons burning with five-colored flames and three women in flowing white robes emerged from it.
There were also two Poison Dao Soldier dressed in black armor.
These are Jiang Ming's Divine-Demon Dao Soldier. Each of them carries a formation flag as a weapon, clearing a path and charging into the depths of the underground palace.
Inside the underground palace, the Yin energy was so dense, like a vast ocean, that Jiang Ming's Divine-Demon Dao Diagram spun around, devouring a large amount of Yin energy.
The Great Freedom Dao Scripture is currently in a period of Yin-Yang Turn, requiring a large amount of Yin energy for cultivation, and this place has a rather pleasant environment.
Within Jiang Ming's dantian, a deity surrounded by a Five Elements totem diagram had long been cultivated. Emerging from within, the deity walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, a form cultivated from the Great Freedom Dao Scripture. Once the Great Freedom Dao Scripture reached the Nine Apertures Divine Demon Dao Embryo realm, the deity directly detached from Jiang Ming's body and walked outside, remaining hidden within the Divine Demon Dao Diagram. At this moment, nine purple divine dragons guarded his back, making him appear like a supreme being.
With Him in control of the Divine-Demon Dao Diagram, He can do as He pleases. Not only that, He also brought Jiang Ming's Life-Bound Sword, the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Sword, which is comparable to Spirit-Communicating Treasure, into the underground palace.
The entire process was utterly swift and decisive.
Jiang Ming alone formed a five-person team composed of strong young talents, each with combat power at the Eight Prohibitions.
The Dao Palace Deity are now limited by the Shrouding Method, and are comparable to cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
However, his Five Virtues Deity is comparable to a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, possessing the same Eight Prohibitions combat strength.
The most terrifying thing was Jiang Ming's Divine-Demon Dao Soldier, which all possessed the combat power of Great Ability, even Holy Master. Once they got close, they were even more terrifying, and they swept through the enemy lines.
What kind of Yin Soldiers and spirits are these?
His Poison Dao Soldier, in particular, was forged from the Furry Zombie zombies of the Forbidden Zone of Absolute Beginning, making it even more domineering and capable of directly devouring the Yin energy within.
Holding the array flag consecrated by the Poison Ancestor Shaman, the flag swirled and wantonly devoured the chilling, ghostly energy of the underground palace.
There are six palaces in total.
The first five palaces were easily breached; the strongest among them was only at the Half-Step Great Ability level, so what was that?
Jiang Ming only dared to barge in because he knew the original plot.
The palaces stretched out in a row; you had to pass through one before you could enter the next.
Along the way, they didn't fight; instead, they used their escape techniques to advance quickly, completely ignoring the pursuers behind them.
After entering the sixth palace!
In the sixth hall, Jiang Ming remembered that the guardian of this place controlled a Seven-Story Glazed Pagoda, but he himself had long since perished in the underground palace and turned into a ghost.
The original storyline even trapped Yan Ruyu, who controlled the Azure Emperor's Weapon, for a long time, so it's safe to assume she was a Yin Soul level Dao-Severing King.
However, this vengeful spirit was helpless against Yan Ruyu, who possessed the Azure Emperor's Weapon guarding her divine consciousness.
He felt even more helpless when facing Jiang Ming.
The moment Jiang Ming saw him, the Five Virtues Deity immediately summoned the Nine Heavens Ziwei Jade Pagoda, suppressing him inside.
Strike first, or suffer the consequences.
Everyone uses towers, but this Seven-Story Glazed Pagoda is inferior in both material and weapon quality; it's merely a Dao- Dao-Severing King Weapon.
Buzz!
The entire underground palace!
He was directly enveloped by the purple aura contained within the Nine Heavens Ziwei Jade Pagoda. The Nine Heavens Ziwei Jade Pagoda has nine layers, flowing with mysterious Dao light, and hovering between his eyebrows, swirling with purple aura, shining brightly, like a Ziwei Emperor Star down upon him.
This time, if we capture the monsters inside the tower and refine them into Divine-Demon Dao Soldier, they will be even more practical.
His other Daoist soldiers all use physical attacks.
This soldier had lost his powerful body; it's very likely that he refined himself into the tower before his death, transforming into something similar to a tower spirit.
Regardless of the outcome, at the very least he could obtain a Dao-Severing King Weapon.
No wonder the original plot could trap Yan Ruyu, who possessed the Azure Emperor's Weapon; it was entirely because the figure activating the tower, acting on instinct, would attack anyone who entered. Yan Ruyu rushed in too quickly and was the first to suffer.
However, in the end, the Azure Emperor's Weapon erupted, blasting it into dust, leaving nothing behind.
As he watched the Seven-Story Glazed Pagoda being gradually absorbed into the Nine Heavens Ziwei Jade Pagoda, Jiang Ming's Five Virtues Deity smiled.
In the center of this grand hall, there is a huge black platform suspended in the air. Not only is there Primordial Chaos Qi swirling around it, forming rings of Primordial Chaos Qi descend from it.
Jiang Ming knew that this thing had been certified by the Black Emperor as the Chaos Stone Bed, and that the Emperor Wushi often sat on it to comprehend the Dao.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but recall the scene when he touched the Green Copper Block last time and obtained the Heavenly Emperor Qi-Gazing Art.
If he could sit cross-legged on this platform and cultivate, perhaps great benefits would await him.
Although, it seems that this item was taken by the Peacock King in the original storyline.
However, treasures should belong to those with virtue, and besides, this treasure is too special.
At worst, we can give the Peacock King Nine Heavens Golden Jade King.
Fortunately, he still had a few pieces of the Nine Heavens Golden Jade King on him.
This platform circulates a Primordial Chaos Qi field, capable of suppressing magical power.
Jiang Ming needs to think about it; he could make good use of it, or perhaps use it to scam people.
The Myriad Things Mother Qi is utterly immense and overwhelming, crushing everything in its path.
Jiang Ming possesses the Myriad Things Mother Qi Lotus Platform, which can isolate that terrifying Primordial Chaos Qi field. He can approach the platform, but to take it away, he can only use the Nine Heavens Ziwei Pagoda to directly take it away.
He didn't care about the Ancient Beast-Skin Scroll floating next to the Chaos Platform.
Outside!
Jiang Ming's true form was still outside, chatting and laughing, discussing with Duan De and the others about opening the underground palace.
"I'll open this entrance to the underground palace. Do I need to dig?"
Jiang Ming's daughter, Tingting, said eagerly.
"In that case, let Tingting do it."
However, you should be careful; some evil spirits might come out from inside.
Upon seeing this, Duan De immediately smiled and said...
Hearing Duan De's words, Jiang Tingting felt a little nervous. It was her first time going out to train, but after looking at Jiang Ming and then at her master Gu Qingyao, and seeing that they both nodded, she gained confidence.
Then, Jiang Tingting thought of her father's and master's teachings. First, she had a thought, and the Lightning Stone floated above her head. This was a weapon forged by Dao-Severing King.
In other words, the quality is a bit poor, it's easily damaged, and it can't be passed down through generations.
Then, in her hand was a string of Top-Grade Spirit-Communicating Treasure, forged by the Nine Heavens Scarlet Jade King, one of the finest artifacts that had escaped from the Azure Emperor's Tomb.
at last!
Tingting then unleashed the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, forged from two strands of Root of Xuanhuang Mother Qi. As the Profound Yellow Mother Qi filled the air, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors enlarged, transforming into the size of a house. With a flash of Xuan Huang light, "snap," the spot where Duan De was pointing was directly cut in two by the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
Many of the male cultivators present inexplicably felt a chill in their lower body.
They were just drooling over Jiang Tingting's gear, especially Duan De, who was so envious he cried. He stared at the material used for the scissors, feeling heartbroken that it wasn't his.
However, seeing the power of those scissors, Duan De felt a chill run down his spine. Jiang Ming was a beast; how could he let such a cute and pretty little niece use such a terrifying weapon?
Not only Duan De, but Ye Fan also turned green with rage and hid behind Duan De.
"Boom--Roar..."
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest; a vast expanse of pitch-black yin energy surged out, resembling thick smoke from a fire or ink dripping into water, instantly darkening the surrounding sky. In a short time, the weather changed, the temperature dropped, and dark clouds gathered, rolling down and plunging the world into darkness, the dark clouds pressing down as if they were pressing down on the ground.
The change was so dramatic that the temperature plummeted to below minus twenty degrees Celsius, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.
It's a beautiful, sunny May day with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Immediately following, a terrifying scream that chilled the heart rang out, with evil spirits wailing and thousands of Yin Soldiers roaring, surging out along with the black Yin energy, and immediately targeting Jiang Tingting.
Some of the onlookers, including Rogue Cultivator cultivators and practitioners from small Cave-Heaven Paradise, were already pale-faced. Fortunately, they were far away, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand the onslaught of the Yin Soldiers Yin Horses.
A crimson glow flowed, the bracelet glowed, and a terrifying power of annihilation flowed through it. The six beads, like six rolling stars, instantly turned into dust as they approached Jiang Tingting's yin energy and Yin Soldiers.
This Spirit-Communicating Treasure is quite powerful.
Tingting's performance was quite good; a mere Divine Bridge Realm cultivator, she annihilated more than twenty Yin Soldiers Yin Horses with a single strike.
Even the weakest of these ghostly Yin Soldiers Yin Horses are comparable to cultivators of the Dao Palace Realm.
Of course, activating the Spirit-Communicating Treasure would consume a great deal of her current cultivation level, so much so that she didn't even have to wait for Jiang Ming to make a move.
Yan Ruyu took a step forward, Golden Lotus surged forth from the earth, blooming rapidly. The Golden Lotus were dazzling, and the earth's yellowish-brown energy surged forth like a vast, yellow river, crashing down. In an instant, the hundreds of Yin Soldiers Yin Horses that had rushed out were instantly reduced to dust. The Yin Soldiers Yin Horses here were temporarily cleared out.
