Turbid and Clear Arrives at the Hall

Ying Qi's voice, tinged with fear, rang out:

"I am..."

He swallowed hard.

"If I remember correctly, wasn't this thing in the Yuanfu? It was originally erected by the Yuanfu Ancestor in front of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation during the Investiture of the Gods, to welcome the Dao Ancestor down the mountain to reside in the palace. Because the main beam of the palace was made from a branch of laurel, and later it was imbued with the immortal essence of the Heavenly Venerable and the Dao Ancestor to become Law Treasure, it was later placed in the main hall of the Yuanfu Mansion as a place to welcome guests. How did it end up here?"

He turned around and looked at Su Yao:

"Fellow Daoist Su, what did you do on the mountain?"

Su Yao didn't respond, but instead said:

"At that time, three halls were erected. The first one, the 'Greater Yin Pure Lunar Soul Manifest Radiance Hall,' was the residence of the Dao Ancestor Supreme Purity. Now it is in its most dilapidated state, reduced to a reception hall. The second one was erected by the Queen Mother..."

Before Su Yao could finish speaking, Zilin Su Yao his words and whispered the name:

"The Jade Garden Initial Yin Nurtured Essence Hall"

She paused:

"Later, it was placed in Jade Lake, also as Law Treasure, but the hall only enshrines the statue of the Dao Ancestor Yuqing for the daily worship of the Jade Pure One Purity disciples."

Su Yao nodded upon hearing this, then pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"The first two halls belong to the Greater Yin and Lesser Yin of the Three Yins. The third hall belongs to the Terminal Yin. Terminal Yin is one of the Three Yins, belonging to the Old Yin but containing a trace of Yang. The four Yin embrace one, like the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when Yin reaches its extreme and Yang returns."

He paused:

"This hall was built by the Old Mother of Mount Li, a disciple of the Dao Ancestor Highest Clarity."

He looked down at the Greater Yin energy below and sighed:

Hence the name: Lilu Hanzhang Daishuo Hall.

Seeing this Mo Li replied:

"This palace stands in the Great Void. The Old Mother recruited many disciples in this palace, but none of them passed on their Daoist lineage. Later, the Old Mother went beyond the heavens, and this palace then wandered in the Great Void, untraceable by anyone. Occasionally, it would appear in the mortal world, after which a female immortal would attain enlightenment."

Yang Xiu responded upon hearing this:

"I've heard that the direct descendant of the Old Mother is mysterious and unpredictable, residing in the palace, which is why she occasionally appears in the mortal world to impart her teachings to female immortals."

Su Yao then continued:

"The Primordial Lady of Purple Void first entered this hall, and then entered the Biyou Palace, before attaining enlightenment."

Zilin sighed softly. Su Yao and the others looked over and saw Su Yao Zilin looking down at the ground, her brows furrowed. As if noticing their gaze, she raised her head, her brows unfurrowing, and smiled.

"When I was young, I stole a Law Treasure from the temple and went down the mountain. I came across this hall and wanted to invite me to join the sect, but unfortunately, the Law Treasure concealed my identity and they didn't realize that I was a descendant of the Purple Qi Daoist True Lord, so the matter was left unresolved."

She paused, then gave a bitter smile:

"After all, Purple Qi is also known as Purple Yang, and can also be called the Fourth Yang, while the teachings in this hall are all about the Three Yins and Yin-dominant lineages. If I were to cultivate, I would die on the spot."

Su Yao joked upon hearing this:

"It is said that the Mount Li lineage has always been passed down through a single successor. If it weren't for the fact that Purple Qi is Yang and Terminal Yin, with your talent, you would be the only direct disciple of Mount Li who has inherited the lineage."

Upon hearing this, Zilin's ears turned slightly red, but she still maintained a composed demeanor and said softly:

"If you had truly entered Mount Li back then, you wouldn't be on Golden Ao Mountain today. Wouldn't your Pear Garden be missing someone to pound tea for you?"

After speaking, she looked up at Su Yao, her eyes carrying a faint smile.

Seeing the two of them talking back and forth as if no one else was around, Mo Li finally couldn't help but cough lightly and interrupt them with a slightly sarcastic tone:

"Now that disaster is imminent, even the Greater Yin Pure Lunar Soul Manifest Radiance Hall has manifested itself at the mountain gate, yet you two still have the leisure to discuss Lei Cha (a type of tea). Are you perhaps planning to abandon us and flee for your lives together?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu and Ying Qi, whose faces had been tense, smiled slightly.

Zilin glared fiercely at Mo Li, then turned her head away.

Su Yao then changed the subject, saying in a serious tone:

"With this Law Treasure before us, capable of unleashing such power, one must be at least a Five Laws Perfection True Person of the Fifth Stage. Our struggles will be futile."

He thought for a moment and then said:

"At this moment, the Greater Yin energy cannot rise; let us wait for the lord to come and rescue us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Greater Yin energy surged up rapidly!

Seeing this, the group quickly set up their shields and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Upon arriving at the back of the mountain, Su Yao looked at the group:

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment while I take control of the formation."

After saying this, he headed towards the cave abode.

But the next moment, the Soul-Losing Radiant Fire Formation suddenly appeared, and streaks of gray light and firelight gathered from the air and then attacked the Greater Yin Qi that had risen to the octagonal pavilion.

But the next moment, both the gray light and the flames vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

A loud laugh came from within the Greater Yin energy:

"Even if the original True Lord -level Fallen Soul Formation were here, with the help of Law Treasure, it wouldn't be able to do anything to me, let alone this mere imitation Purple Mansion -level formation?"

Then, the Greater Yin energy stopped rising, and a luminous white palace appeared before everyone's eyes.

Then, chains formed from the Greater Yin energy pulled the group out of the hall. They were Xiao Huang, Ren Han, Lu Yuan, and others, but Zichuan was nowhere to be seen.

The voice said again:

"Who, who made him fix the Great Yang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, beams of Greater Yin condensed from the hall and shot towards Su Yao and the others. Although Su Yao knew that there was Guangli in an abnormal state next to the cave abode and that he was with Turbid and Clear Branch, he did not dare to gamble on whether the other party would make a move. So he immediately took out the last trump card that Daozheng had given him, that note. "Below the True Lord, all perish!"

The formation activated again, shattering the several beams of light.

The sound rang out again:

"I never expected that a Purple Mansion was hidden within the mountain. No wonder they were able to resist my Greater Yin Qi for so long."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in white emerged from the hall, with Zichuan bound by chains behind him, suspended in mid-air.

The figure in white looked at Su Yao and the others:

"Since he repaired the Great Yang, you all must pay the price!"

Before Su Yao and the others could reply, a cold snort rang out from the back mountain:

"Do you expect me, Qixia Daozi, Golden Court Jinting, and the direct descendants of several Daoist lineages to pay with their lives?"

Upon hearing this, the man in white looked towards the back mountain and said coldly:

"Playing tricks!"

But the next moment his expression changed drastically, and streams of turbid yellow energy appeared out of thin air.

First, it severed the numerous chains composed of Greater Yin energy, and then quickly pulled Xiao Huang, Lu Yuan, Zichuan, Ren Han, and others up.

Then a figure appeared in front of Su Yao and the others.

It was Guangli, who had been hiding ever since he arrived at Golden Ao Mountain.

The man in white also changed his expression drastically upon seeing the newcomer.

"Guangli? Five Laws?"

He angrily said:

"How is that possible? Back then, someone went up Qixia Mountain and clearly saw that you were already locked up. How could you have cultivated the Five Laws!"

Before Guangli reply, after a moment's thought, the man in white continued:

"What a clever tactic. In order to scheme against my Dao, they actually wasted most of the power of a Golden Nature to create a fake Five Laws True Person."

He gradually came to his senses, and his tone returned to normal:

"So what if you brought Law Treasure? The Greater Yin Palace is the ultimate treasure, and it is imbued with many mystical elements. It has its own methods of attack and defense. Let me guess which Law Treasure you brought."

Upon hearing this, Guangli remained silent, then lifted the cloth robe at his waist. Seeing this, the man in white turned to leave.
