Tianji Profound Yin

Cui Wancheng knew something was wrong when Cui Ze suddenly attacked him from behind; there must be a powerful enemy lying in ambush nearby.

He held back some of his strength when dealing with Cui Ze, but his Crimson Yang Mirror never managed to detect any trace of the formidable enemy.

There are many poor people in the shantytowns, but their lives are so fragile.

It wasn't until Cui Ze, now a burnt skeleton, unleashed Yin Thunder that Cui Wancheng was shaken to his core, that he immediately knew the situation was dire.

The Yin Thunder Method is a secret tradition of the Northern Pole Sect, and even the other six schools of Daoism do not know it.

If a cultivator from an unorthodox sect dares to unleash Yin Thunder, he himself will be struck dead by Yin Thunder first.

In this critical moment, Cui Wancheng remained remarkably calm. Having weathered countless storms throughout his life, he knew that the more chaotic the situation, the faster he would die.

If the opponent were truly stronger than him, they would have simply attacked directly. Instead, they used a strange puppet to control Cui Ze in a sneak attack, clearly indicating they weren't confident of killing him head-on.

Using the Yin Thunder Method? Could it be Zhou Wuji from the Lower Court? Given his sudden rise to power, it's quite reasonable for him to possess such a secret treasure!

The thought flashed through Cui Wancheng's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it too much.

He held the Crimson Yang Mirror and forcefully visualized the Great Light Heavenly King. He had been refining this Law Artifact in his hands for nearly thirty years, and it had become his natal magical Law Artifact.

Through day and night contemplation and refining, the image of the Great Light Heavenly King was imprinted in the mirror as if it were a tangible reality.

Even though his spirit was shaken by the Yin Thunder, with a Divine Sense, the image of the Great Light Heavenly King appeared in the Crimson Yang Mirror: a tall man composed of blazing white light.

Like the Great Light Heavenly King, the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother could not be seen clearly. He was tall and wore a long robe, and his body emitted divine light that formed a huge halo, like a blazing sun.

Cui Wancheng established a connection with the Dharma Image of the Great Light Heavenly King, immediately suppressing all the anomalies caused by the Yin Thunder. His Divine Sense was also enhanced by more than double under the blessing of the Dharma Image.

The True Qi that had been consumed earlier was also re-condensed through the Dharma form of the Great Light Heavenly King.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Wancheng recovered to near-peak condition using his natal magic Law Artifact, the Crimson Yang Mirror.

The flames protecting his body also grew even stronger.

The raging fire also turned the surrounding walls and debris into flames.

Suddenly, a burst of flames erupted, and a blinding white rainbow streaked across the night sky, striking Cui Wancheng directly.

Cui Wancheng also saw Zhou Wuji reflected in the Crimson Yang Mirror. Although Zhou Wuji was wearing a bamboo hat and hemp clothes, and his figure and appearance were not clearly visible, Cui Wancheng could see the power of the dazzling White Rainbow Sword.

The two were only a dozen steps apart. Knowing he couldn't dodge in time, Cui Wancheng could only turn around and unleash the Crimson Yang Great Hand Seal.

The crimson flames that formed the handprint were over ten feet tall. With the blessing of the Great Light Heavenly King's Dharma Image, the power of the Crimson Yang Great Hand Seal was greatly amplified.

The white rainbow slashed swiftly, piercing straight through the crimson giant palm and striking Cui Wancheng.

The sword's fierce and domineering presence made Cui Wancheng's heart tighten. He could only raise the Crimson Yang Mirror in his hand and project the image of the Great Light Heavenly King.

Divine light emanated from the tall man and coalesced into a wheel around his body, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

Zhou Wuji was flying straight at the sword, was also forced to close his eyes when he was struck by the divine light. His senses of hearing, smell and all other senses were also covered by the divine light.

But he had perfected the Big Northern Dipper Tianshu Scripture and the Big Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder, thus solidifying his profound foundation.

Although the Great Light Heavenly King's Dharma Image condensed into Law Domain with divine light, it could not interfere with Zhou Wuji's Mind Mirror, nor could it change Zhou Wuji's precise grasp of space.

Seeing the image of the Great Light Heavenly King reflected in the Mind Mirror, Zhou Wuji advanced instead of retreating, and this time he unleashed the Sunset Sword.

The White Rainbow Sword transformed into a blazing sword wheel and slashed down, the Great Light Heavenly King's Dharma, as radiant as the blazing sun, shattered in response to the sword.

Hidden behind the Dharma image, Cui Wancheng could only raise the Crimson Yang Mirror, whose light condensed into a mirror, separating him from Zhou Wuji.

Zhou Wuji saw his reflection in the mirror, but without hesitation, he raised his sword and slashed again. The blazing sword wheel swept across, obliterating the mirror and his reflection.

Without the light mirror to shield him, Cui Wancheng 'Cui Wancheng face revealed a fierce expression. He formed hand seals and unleashed a crimson halo, which was his most powerful Secret Method, the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels.

Zhou Wuji raised the White Rainbow Sword and once again unleashed the Blazing Sword Wheel. Just as the sword wheel was about to fall, it suddenly and ingeniously changed direction, splitting into two Blazing Sword Wheels, one in front and one behind.

The differentiated sword wheels, like the blazing sun shining on the river, one illusory and one real, are equally brilliant and intense, reflecting each other so that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the illusory.

The sword wheel in front annihilated the crimson light wheel, but the sword wheel behind struck a point in the void several feet away.

The sword wheel left a bright, perfect sword mark in the void. Blood gushed out along the mark, and Cui Wancheng, split in two, crashed to the ground along the sword mark...

Cui Wancheng, a highly skilled cultivator, had survived such severe injuries. Unwilling to accept defeat, he looked at Zhou Wuji and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Wuji had neither the time nor the inclination to chat with Cui Wancheng. He pierced Cui Wancheng's head with a sword, ending the man's pain and confusion, and also ending his grand dream of turning the world upside down.

He quickly searched Cui Wancheng's body and found a money pouch, a medicine bag, a rough book, and other miscellaneous items. The most useful item, of course, was the Crimson Yang Mirror.

With time of the essence, Zhou Wuji gathered up the numerous miscellaneous items, flicked his finger to release a point of azure flame, and Cui Wancheng immediately transformed into a ball of azure flame.

Cui Ze, who had been transformed into a skeleton, was also transformed by Zhou Wuji using the Tianji Profound Yang Sword.

He then took out the Soul-Summoning Banner and used its own Yin Qi to dispel the traces of Yang Sword Qi left by the White Rainbow Sword.

After doing all this, Zhou Wuji turned and left.

By the time the alarmed crowd gathered, all that could be seen were the burning walls and debris.

The crowd shouted and yelled, some carrying wooden buckets, others holding basins of water, and they all rushed to pour water on the fire, quickly bringing it under control.

Zhou Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fire go out from afar.

In this battle, he deliberately chose a relatively open location, and Cui Wancheng's Crimson Yang Method was extremely powerful, quickly burning away all the walls and debris, preventing the fire from spreading.

Open the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment; Cui Ze and Cui Wancheng are both listed on it.

Cui Ze's destiny is worth 3.2 taels, while Cui Wancheng's destiny is worth 5.2 taels.

This time, Zhou Wuji did not hesitate at all and directly converted five taels and two qian into Origin Profound Spirit, which he then added to the Tianji Sword.

As the purple light unfolded, Zhou Wuji immersed himself in it, diligently cultivating the Tianji Sword day and night.

When the purple light dissipated, Zhou Wuji's Tianji Sword had reached perfection.

The Tianji Sword contains the transformations of water, fire, yin, and yang. Leaving aside the sword techniques, its Law Power transformations are the orthodox methods of the Northern Pole Sect.

The Tianji Sword reached its peak, allowing his nine acupoints to be refined by the Yin-Yang Star Power, making them clear and stable, and further strengthening their foundation.

His total amount of True Qi did not increase, but his True Qi became increasingly pure.

The same amount of True Qi increased in power by about 10%.

It may not seem like much, but given his current level, it represents an extremely significant improvement.

The most direct improvement came from Divine Sense. Through repeated refinement during the cultivation of the righteous path, the total amount of Divine Sense increased by 10%, reaching 600.

Based on his observations of several Fifth Rank cultivators, Cui Wancheng's Divine Sense was only at the five-hundred level, or even less than five hundred.

The level of Divine Sense who Zhihe and Zhiyuan must be steadily above 500.

For cultivators, enhancing their Divine Sense is the most difficult task, requiring them to breathe in and out True Qi day and night to nourish their spirit.

Only through such tempering and refinement can one's Divine Sense gradually grow.

His Divine Sense level improved by 10%, saving him at least three to five years of honing his skills.

If we consider True Qi as the energy source, then Divine Sense is the computational center. Enhancing Divine Sense is equivalent to enhancing computing power, storage capacity, and error correction capabilities, thus better resisting external damage.

The Origin Profound Spirit enhanced the Tianji Sword to its perfect state, instantly giving him a significant boost in all aspects. In total, his combat power is now more than 20% higher than before.

With his current cultivation level, he could defeat Cui Wancheng in a direct confrontation in just ten moves, without needing the Heavenly Puppet at all.

His weakest skill now is actually the Xiaoxiang Sword.

The Xiaoxiang Sword is exquisitely crafted and its Sword Intent is quite profound, but it can only be used in conjunction with the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot True Qi, and it does not have its own method of circulating True Qi, which makes it much less powerful.

With Zhou Wuji's cultivation reaching this level, the Xiaoxiang Sword has become a clear bottleneck.

Just like the sword strike that killed Cui Wancheng, the Sword Intent changed to the Xiaoxiang Sword, but the true Sword Qi was the Tianji Profound Yang Sword.

The sword intent of the Xiaoxiang Sword, which controlled the Tianji Xuanyang Sword, actually limited the power of the Tianji Xuanyang Sword.

However, his Tianji Sword was incomplete, so he could only use the framework of the Xiaoxiang Sword.

Fortunately, the Tianji Sword was perfected, and its Sword Qi could be integrated into the Xiaoxiang Sword at a deeper level, which indirectly raised the upper limit of the Xiaoxiang Sword.

Cui Wancheng was, after all, a cultivator, and he was able to completely suppress all kinds of magical techniques.

He then used the Heavenly Puppet to launch a sneak attack, forcing Cui Wancheng to unleash his full power, thus leaving him with no room to maneuver.

Zhang Banshan was different; this guy was a martial artist, and even though he was only at the Sixth Rank, he was skilled in combat.

Moreover, a martial artist's strong Qi and Blood can suppress Law Technique.

Most importantly, he cannot directly use the White Rainbow Sword. He can use any means to kill Cui Wancheng, and the government, the Lower Court, and the Zhang Household will not care whether Cui Wancheng lives or dies.

Although the battle just now was complicated, it actually took less than ten breaths.

The people living nearby were only just awakened from their sleep when the battle was already over.

Cui Wancheng's use of the Crimson Sun Secret Method would also obscure the intense sword light of the White Rainbow Sword. He could conceal all traces of battle, and no one would know what had actually happened...

If Zhang Banshan and Zhang Yunfeng suddenly disappear, no matter how cleanly he handles it, it will be useless; others will definitely suspect him.

He still wanted to go to the Upper Court, the Main Courtyard, and even the Heavenly Master's Manor, which would put him on suspicion of assassinating Pacification Office, thus ruining his future.

The Tianji Sword was upgraded because the Tianji Profound Yin Sword and Profound Yin True Qi are very similar.

Although the Heavenly Ghost Sect is a heretical sect, it is still a sect of cultivators.

The Xuan Yin Profound Yin True Qi Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture should originate from the Xuan Yin Secret Method of Daoism.

The only difference lies in the different deities worshipped and the different rituals performed; the same Profound Yin True Qi undergoes different transformations.

The Tianji Sword Profound Yin True Qi upon the power of the Tianji Star to differentiate Yin and Yang, transforming them into the interplay of water and fire.

The Profound Yin True Qi, however, is refined and Yin Spirit by the union of Mysterious Yin Spirit and Yin Spirit.

Almost all the methods of the Heavenly Ghost Sect originate from the foundation of Profound Yin True Qi.

Zhou Wuji mastered the Tianji Sword to perfection, thus naturally mastering all the variations of the Tianji Profound Yin Sword.

He tried using the Tianji Profound Yin Sword Qi to activate the Soul-Summoning Banner, and the Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier within were indeed controlled by the Profound Yin Samsara Seal he condensed.

The Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier had been placed in the soul-summoning banner for many days without being nourished by vital energy or fed with blood. Black smoke wafted around its body, and it was completely unlike the hard and tough Ghost Soldier that was known for.

Zhou Wuji, however, felt it was sufficient!

With his enhanced Divine Sense, coupled with the Xuan Yin Profound Yin True Qi transformed from the Tianji Profound Yin Sword, he was able to integrate the Heavenly Puppet into the Ghost Soldier Ghost Soldier, forcibly boosting their combat power.

Of course, that also depends on whether Zhang Banshan and his men dare to come!

His battle with Cui Wancheng was quite a spectacle, its divine light illuminating the night sky.

Zhang Banshan and Zhang Yunfeng might miss it if they stayed inside, but if they were outside, they would definitely see the strange phenomenon.

One of these two men was a highly skilled martial artist, and the other was a centurion of the Ironclad Guard. They had just met Cui Wancheng, so how could they stand idly by when trouble arose?

Given the limited time, the two of them probably wouldn't be looking for anyone.

Zhou Wuji wasn't in a hurry. Since the Tianji Profound Yin Sword could utilize the Soul-Summoning Banner, it wouldn't hurt for him to make his move later...

Zhang Banshan and Zhang Yunfeng did indeed see a white light shooting into the sky. Neither of them knew what had happened, but they were both worried that Cui Wancheng was up to something.

Although they had only met Cui Wancheng once, they had long heard that this Grand Master was skilled in the Crimson Sun Secret Method, and that his attacks were as bright and fiery as the sun, extremely domineering.

Since Cui Wancheng is involved, they must find out the situation before they know how to deal with it.

After a brief discussion, the two hurried towards the south of the city.

Zhang Banshan could circulate his True Qi, and although his steps were fast, they were as light as a swallow. Zhang Yunfeng was far inferior; he had to rely entirely on his muscles and bones for power, and each step he took made a thumping sound.

"Third Uncle, what should we do if the Demonic Sects turn on each other?" Zhang Yunfeng asked in a low voice.

"No matter where these Devil Cultivator are from, disperse them first. We can't let them cause trouble in the city."

Zhang Banshan said, "I'm afraid things will escalate and attract the attention of the Admiral. If Cui Wancheng falls into the Admiral's hands, it will be extremely bad..."

He didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but he was afraid that Cui Wancheng would cause trouble.

Relying on his memory, Zhang Banshan turned into an alleyway. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, and a chilling, eerie coldness rushed straight to his face.

"No!" Zhang Banshan reacted swiftly; he immediately recognized it as a Ghost Soldier.

Zhang Banshan was not alarmed but enraged. How dare a mere Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier launch a sneak attack!

He immediately circulated his Dantian Qi Sea and unleashed his True Qi, while simultaneously drawing his four-foot-long goose-feather saber from his waist and slashing fiercely at the Ghost Soldier.

He has been a Sixth Rank martial artist for over ten years, cultivating the Eight Extremes Sect Eight Extremes Primordial True Qi.

As his True Qi circulated, it further stimulated the power of his muscles and Qi and Blood. His Qi and Blood and True Qi surged and erupted like flames, and his swift slashing longsword swept across the sky like thunderbolts, unleashing a divine might that could cut through everything...
