Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 673 Yin Yang Cleansing of the Spiritual Root

Having returned to Zixia Cave from Misty Heaven many years ago, Lin Xuanzhi had a very clear grasp of the situation in the Crimson Bright Great Thousand World.

After all, the aftermath of a direct conflict between two supreme Dao Lords would be far-reaching, not to mention that the methods and schemes revealed by the Daoist alliance this time are enough to attract attention from all sides.

The fact that the Savior of Suffering broke free from the shackles and thus became free from decline and calamity was a momentous event that shook the void.

Aside from these, the brief encounter between Yan Hai Huo Huang and Shao Qing Dao Ren upon Yan Hai Huo Huang's emergence from seclusion, the fall of Qian Sun Lao Mo, and the fact that Wu Si Lao Ni Gu, the leader of the Southern Demonic Sect, was barely clinging to life by borrowing the Tian Sheng Fa Tai are just embellishments to a few main dishes.

Many onlookers didn't care; only they themselves truly swallowed the bitter pill and licked their wounds.

However, Lin Xuanzhi protested and strongly condemned Ge Wuhen and the old nun Wusi for blaming him for their own incompetence and miscalculation that led to their downfall.

If they had any backbone, they would have simply charged over on the Heavenly Sacred Platform.

The reason for this situation is simply that he is resentful and helpless, so he can only try to make up for it by secretly taking revenge on himself.

After all, although Lin Xuanzhi had two peers, Sikong Xuance and Chu Qingyuan, and the next generation also had Zhou Shuren, the three of them combined were not as capable of causing trouble as Lin Xuanzhi.

However, considering the demonic sect's practices, Lin Xuanzhi had already sent a message to the three of them, telling them to be vigilant when they were out and about.

Zhou Shuren possesses two magical treasures, the Azure Dragon Pillar and the Taiyi Five Smoke Silk, allowing him to advance and retreat freely even when facing a Primordial Spirit True Person.

However, Sikong Xuance and his companion were somewhat lacking in resources and did not possess any real magical treasures.

However, as a Yuan Yang Dao Body, Sikong Xuance achieved the highest grade of Dan in his early years and cultivated Xuan Guang. Now he has also successfully cultivated Yin Shen and is highly valued by his senior brother Wang Wenjing and several elders in the temple.

The magical artifact that will be awarded to him is currently being forged and may be ready soon.

Compared to Lin Xuanzhi and Sikong Xuance, Chu Qingyuan's talent was rather ordinary, but she was open-minded and determined. Although she was still being polished in the Jade Liquid Perfection, she was not impatient or restless, and her whole being was very clear-headed.

Therefore, Master Su Mingxin simply sent him to travel to other places in the world to see more scenery, and perhaps he would suddenly understand.

It is said that if the elixir is of medium grade, the Xuandu Temple can guarantee the immortality of its disciples for one lifetime, but ultimately it will not lead to the Great Dao. With such careful cultivation, the disciples still hope that their few direct disciples can all embark on the path of the Golden Elixir.

Zhou Shuren, also known as Mingyi, is the one we need to worry about the least.

He is the reincarnation of the Immortal Fire Primordial Spirit, with an extraordinary background and profound foundation. His cultivation is also very compatible with the Heavenly Book he cultivates, and he has the endless secret treasures of Xuandu Temple as support. Even the primordial spirit barrier will not be a major obstacle for him.

Having wandered around for a long time, he appears "wild and untamed," only occasionally reporting that he is safe and sound.

Aside from the growth of the younger generation, the newcomers who didn't join the temple were as expected.

Clearly, Wang Wenjing, Su Mingxin, and Shen Xinghe all agreed that one disciple was enough.

But the younger generation didn't have any, while the older generation did.

Besides the first-generation patriarch Shaoqing, there were also the second-generation patriarch Jiuxuan, the third-generation patriarchs Kongji and Daoyan, and the fourth-generation patriarch Taihua, who returned with their respective mounts and attendants.

All the patriarchs possessed profound and pure Yang cultivation, each exuding an air of otherworldly elegance and extraordinary aura. Originally, they served by the side of Patriarch Zixia, remaining vigilant and ready to serve every day. Now that they have returned to the grotto, they have all become lazy and relaxed.

After a brief visit back then, Lin Xuanzhi didn't want to disturb them too much. However, in recent years, he has occasionally run into several of the patriarchs wandering around the cave.

Clearly, while the Misty Heaven is nice, they seem to prefer staying in their own "doghouse".
This was also the source of Lin Xuanzhi's confidence, which he couldn't help but think to himself: "We have the ability to let their demonic sect attack us."

Xuandu Temple was not unaware of the unusual activity at the Tiansheng Sect headquarters and in the Lesser Asura Realm of the Asura Sect.

With the current presence of the Shaoqing Ancestor, even without the aid of the Taiji Diagram, his Nine Heavens Great Luo Observation Technique allows him to clearly discern all the evil consequences and calamities within the Crimson Bright Great Thousand World, not to mention the forces with whom he already has some old grudges, which require even more attention.

Therefore, after realizing the Demonic Sect's intentions, Lin Xuanzhi did not mind showing himself and giving them a chance.

The Emperor Li's imperial treasury would be a good starting point!
Although the Four Directions Demonic Sects seem insignificant, according to Master Gu, the old demons of the Heavenly Saint Sect did not directly join forces back then. Some of them followed Nightmare Saint Demon Lord and Desire Extinction Elder, only referring to themselves as Heavenly Saint Elders.

The Holy Dharma Platform of that day was notorious and shrouded in mystery, so it must not be taken lightly. Although all the elders of Xuandu have now returned, the matter of locating the Five Yin Demon Prison through several portals can now be put on the agenda.

However, considering the unpredictable situation in the chaos, everyone agreed that it would be safer to obtain one of the Five Yin Demon Lord's items from the remnants of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Therefore, Lin Xuanzhi discovered that after the elders returned, his family still wanted to take advantage of the Demonic Sect one last time...

As for the Asura Cult's movements, although Lin Xuanzhi believed that the enmity between the two sides was "not too great," the temple still reminded him to be careful regarding the returning Blood Ancestor.

It is said that this Asura Blood Ancestor was a demon born from a primordial blood pool in the chaos, and was originally said to have perished in a calamity of decline.

Now that they have returned, it is highly likely that they have survived the fourth tribulation and may have even taken the opportunity to refine their mother body.

However, since they harbor ill intentions, perhaps they can be lured out by using the Emperor's Treasury.

If anyone takes the bait, don't blame them for their whole family's enthusiastic welcome.

Lin Xuanzhi covered the somewhat sinister smile on his face with a palm-leaf fan and turned to look at the ice phoenix flying in from afar.

"Kid, you've cleared those tree roots clean."

Hyunho has been living comfortably in the cave for many years, and now he shows no sign of leaving.

"Your smile just now was so sinister; you must be plotting against someone again!"

Lin Xuanzhi did not agree, but stood up happily and said, "So fast?"

It was referring to the remaining roots of the Great Void Tree!
Lin Xuanzhi was also quite shocked when he learned the true origin of the tree.

However, Daoist Taixu severed his old body very early, and this tree was nourished by the plundering of the Great Dao, so it was no longer its original innate origin.

Now, it has suffered another setback due to the decline of its physical constitution, causing its foundation to fall once again.

However, this also gave Lin Xuanzhi an opportunity to better use the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool of Xuandu Temple to nourish, refine, and eliminate the influence of the Great Dao on the Wonderful Tree, destroy its ferocity, and restore its original spiritual essence.

Lin Xuanzhi originally thought it would take at least several hundred years, but he never expected that he would succeed in just fifty years.

It seems I underestimated the power of the Yin-Yang Immortal Pool!

Hyun-ho raised a slight eyebrow: "Now that many of your ancestors have returned, the power of the Yin-Yang Creation Pool has also increased accordingly."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded slightly. The Yin-Yang Creation Immortal Pool is a manifestation of the original source of the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven. As more pure Yang returns, its power will naturally increase.

After all, those in the Pure Yang Realm no longer need to absorb and expel the spiritual energy of the cave, which not only avoids any burden or loss but also brings great benefits.

"It seems that I am not as careful as you are, who spends every day observing the Immortal Pool."

Upon hearing this, Xuanhao showed no sign of blushing and said, "I, the Phoenix, have been guarding this important place for you, and I only occasionally take some Yin-Yang spiritual energy as payment."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me."

Lin Xuanzhi said irritably, "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit."

Having said that, the man and the phoenix teleported to the side of the Immortal Pool.

Several figures were already standing there, curiously looking at a small sapling in the pond that was filled with colorful light, and occasionally exchanging words.

"Master?"

P.S.: Please vote for me! There will be more votes tonight.
