Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1069 Taiyin Inheritance
And so, the three old men, each with their own agendas, stepped into the stone door in the middle, which had already been opened.

The passage was very long. As soon as they stepped into this place, a rich Yin energy emanated from it, and even those with their cultivation levels felt a chill that went straight to their bones.

"This must be the place. The Yin energy is so rich. Could it be that some kind of treasure made from the Yin laws has come to life and is stirring up the boundless Yin energy?" The Purple Qi Dao Lord showed a look of surprise. Even he, a cultivator who does not practice Yin-Yang Dao, can clearly sense the fluctuations inside.

"Go inside and see for yourself!"

The head of the Peng family acted swiftly. He was extremely confident in his own strength. His True Spirit Bloodline endowed him with combat power that surpassed his peers. Coupled with his late-stage Integration Realm cultivation, he was confident that as long as the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable did not personally arrive, he would have the power to fight.

Yin Yangzi and Zi Qi Daojun quickly followed, not wanting to fall behind.

Before long, the three of them passed through the passage behind the stone gate and arrived directly in front of a stone bridge!

Wow!
Beneath the stone bridge, an underground river imbued with the energy of Yin surged and churned, its extremely cold aura flowing continuously, as if it were a true Yin Immortal River formed by the convergence of Yin True Water.

At the end of this stone arch bridge, a platform supported by two giant stone hands stands tall. On the platform, a woman with a high ponytail sits cross-legged with her eyes closed, surrounded by a tangible aura of Yin energy.

Immediately afterwards, a light and ethereal chanting sound rang out. After hearing some fragments of the scripture, the three of them widened their eyes and showed disbelief.

"This is a celestial scripture! Could it be the 'Taiyin Immortal Scripture'?"

"The supreme scriptures of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable have now all fallen into the hands of that little girl?"

"How is this possible? When exactly did she enter? Drive her down! The Taiyin Immortal Scripture is the supreme inheritance of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable. It must not be lost. If I obtain it, I may be able to attain immortality in the future!"

All three exclaimed in surprise, especially the Yin-Yang Master, whose aged eyes flashed with greed, wishing he could immediately replace the girl with the high ponytail on the platform.

However, Peng Tianyun quickly narrowed his eyes and stopped the Yin Yang Sect Leader who was about to make a move.

"Don't do anything rash. The successor of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable has already been chosen, and it should be her. If you step forward and interrupt her from accepting the succession, then the Taiyin Immortal Scripture will inevitably be incomplete."

Ziqi Daojun also regained his senses and calmly said, "That's right. It would be safest to let her receive the entire inheritance first, and then extract the contents of the inheritance from her."

The Yin-Yang Master, who had been stopped, calmed down and used some kind of mysterious Yin-Yang technique to observe the changes in the situation around the platform in front of him.

The next moment, a storm raged within him, but he did not show it.

Peng Tianyun and Ziqi Daojun also seemed to have figured out something different. As if they had remembered something, they asked with surprise and doubt, "That's not right. Taiyin Tianzun has the Taiyin Body. Her inheritance can only be obtained by cultivators with the same physique!"

The head of the Peng family asked in a low voice, "Yin Yangzi, I remember that the current Holy Maiden of your Yin Yang Sect is a Taiyin Body. Could it be that two of these legendary treasure bodies can appear at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang Master's expression changed slightly, realizing that some things could no longer be kept secret.

"No, the saintess I taught is not a true Taiyin body. At first, even I thought she had that legendary constitution. It was only after she embarked on the path of cultivation that the truth came to light."

"The saintess I taught possesses the Xuan Yin Body, which is far inferior to the true Tai Yin Body."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ziqi still did not believe it. He said, "Over the years, your Yin-Yang Sect has produced more than one cultivator with the Xuan Yin Physique, right? I remember that you had a senior sister who had this physique in her previous life. How could you be mistaken?"

After a moment of silence, the Yin-Yang Master continued to explain, "It's just that the Holy Maiden of my sect has some extraordinary spiritual roots."

Is his spiritual root extraordinary?

The Peng family patriarch and the Purple Qi Daoist are both very old people who have lived for a very long time. They have seen countless strange spiritual roots.
In an instant, they all seemed to realize something and couldn't help but gasp.

"Could it be a Yin Spirit Root?"

"Hiss. The combination of the Xuan Yin Body and the Yin Spirit Root is so rare that it is probably no less than the Tai Yin Body."

If he achieves mastery of his Dao techniques in the future, the human cultivation world may indeed gain another powerful cultivator capable of suppressing a region.

Rumble!
Behind them, a commotion arose in the passageway. Other cultivators had also entered the cave of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable, but they chose the other two tightly closed stone doors, not daring to compete with the three ancient beings, the Yin-Yang Sect Master and the others, for the opportunity.

Although they were also curious about what the secrets behind the other two stone gates might be, they remained motionless in their posts, their intentions quite clear.

Even if the opportunities behind the other two stone doors are amazing, they can't compare to the scripture legacy left by a Celestial Venerable.

Especially since this Celestial Venerable eventually ascended to the Upper Realm and attained immortality, his scriptures are undoubtedly a true immortal scripture. Even if only those with a Taiyin constitution can cultivate it, its reference value is immeasurable, and no one would easily give up the struggle for it.

Besides, the woman who is receiving the inheritance is most likely a cultivator who truly possesses the Taiyin Body. Such a physique is rare, appearing only once every 100,000 years. Who wouldn't want to bring her under their command?

The other party also received the inheritance of the Taiyin Tianzun, and who knows, he might become another Tianzun who can attain the Mahayana stage in the future?

Most importantly, the three old antiques could all see that this woman's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage. Such a shallow level was easy to manipulate!

Finally, as time slowly passed, the ethereal chanting stopped.

The yin energy surrounding the woman gradually subsided and returned to the underground river beneath the stone arch bridge.

She slowly opened her eyes, her clear, bright black pupils filled with a certain Daoist aura. Because of the immense nature of the inheritance she had inherited, her gaze was still somewhat vacant.

Before long, her eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

"Ahem, little fairy, I wonder if you have received the inheritance of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable?" Ziqi Daojun spoke first, trying his best to make his voice sound kind.

Yin Yangzi also revealed a kind smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Young fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Yin Yang Sect? It is the oldest and most ancient Daoist tradition in human history."

Before he could finish speaking, the head of the Peng family couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, it seems that the only thing your Yin Yang Sect has to boast about these days is its long history."

"Young friend, I am the current head of the Peng family, a family of true spirits. My son, Peng Zhan, has the potential to dominate the world. You must have heard of his reputation, right?"

"If you are interested, why don't the two of you become Daoist partners? My Peng family will certainly do everything in our power to help you make unparalleled progress in the path of cultivation!"

Good heavens! Yin Yangzi and Zi Qi Daojun only considered taking her as a disciple, but the Peng family head directly wanted her to marry him!

The woman on the platform yawned, then spoke listlessly, "What are you seniors mumbling about? I don't quite understand. If you want the *Taiyin Immortal Scripture*, each of you should throw out a hundred or two top-grade spirit stones and precious immortal gold, and I will pass on my inheritance to you as well." The woman's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, but her tone was quite disrespectful, showing no regard for these three Nascent Soul stage experts.

Upon hearing this, the group was slightly taken aback, their expressions turning somewhat displeased.

But she also realized one thing: she had indeed obtained the inheritance of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable's cultivation techniques.

"Ahem, I still don't know your name or background, young friend. When did you enter this cave?" Daoist Ziqi coughed and asked.

The girl sitting cross-legged on the platform rolled her eyes and said, "My surname is Li. I don't have any special background. I just happened to be passing by this island and was brought here. Do you seniors have anything else to ask?"

The girl with the high ponytail is naturally Li Qing's personal disciple, Li Qiyin. Over the years, she has been searching for the opportunity to become the Heavenly Venerable of the Moon, and now she has finally obtained the complete inheritance of this Heavenly Venerable.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, concluding that the woman must be someone of no particular background.

“Young friend Li, the outside world is fraught with danger. If you leave alone, you will be in considerable peril. Why not become my disciple and join the Yin-Yang Sect? This way, I can not only protect you, but I can also guide you in your future cultivation,” Yin-Yang Master said with a smile.

The Purple Qi Daoist also quickly spoke up, saying, "My Yu Ling Sect welcomes disciples from all over the world. It just so happens that I am also planning to take on a closed-door disciple. Would young friend Li be willing to become my disciple? Your future cultivation path will be smooth and uneventful. You might even experience the glory of the Mahayana stage in the future."

Peng Tianyun remained calm and said, "If you join my Peng family, I will even bestow upon you the true blood of the Primordial Heavenly Roc. With your physique and the true spirit blood, no one in the world will be your match in the future."

Li Qiyin smiled charmingly and said, "So you seniors want to take me as your disciple? That's wonderful! But I'm all alone, so how can I become your disciple?"

"I don't really understand what the seniors were talking about. How about this: I'll become the disciple of whoever offers the most generous gift!"

After hearing this, the several ancient beings in the Integration Stage pondered for a moment and then decided to show some sincerity.

The Yin-Yang Master took out a jade porcelain bottle and said, "You have a Yin constitution, so you should be able to sense the pure Yin energy in the bottle, right?"

"This is a whole bottle of Taiyin True Water. If you become my disciple, this bottle of Taiyin True Water will be yours!"

Taiyin True Water!

Upon hearing this, Peng Tianyun and Ziqi Daojun both raised their eyebrows. They hadn't expected Yin Yangzi to really go all out, even bringing out such a divine object.

Neither of them was willing to back down, and both showed their sincerity.

"Although the feathers of the Primordial Heavenly Roc are not the only true feathers, they are still of immeasurable value. They contain a trace of the Heavenly Roc's essence blood and have endless uses."

A jet-black tail feather, taller than a person, emerged, emanating an extremely clear aura of true spiritual power!

The Purple Qi Daoist then took out a light blue bead: "The Naga Clan's natal spirit bead. This is from a royal family among the sea races. Wearing this bead all year round can continuously nourish one's soul. Over time, it can make your soul far surpass that of other cultivators of the same level!"

Upon seeing these three treasures, Li Qiyin's eyes lit up, and she said cheerfully:
"These seniors are truly generous and sincere. I admire them greatly!"

"But all three treasures are very precious, and I'm not sure what to do with them right now. Could you please allow me some time to consider them?"

Yin Yangzi smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course! My Yin Yang Sect has a long history and a unique understanding of the Taiyin Yin Method. If you join us, you will surely be the next Holy Maiden!"

"Hmph, since the founding of my Yuling Sect, countless unparalleled experts have emerged. Young friend, you will definitely not make a mistake by becoming my disciple!"

Peng Tianyun didn't continue competing; instead, he fixed his gaze on Li Qiyin with an air of unwavering confidence.

After a while, Li Qiyin, who looked like he was deep in thought, finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Seniors, I've made up my mind!"

"Oh? Young friend, whose sect do you intend to become a disciple of?" Daoist Ziqi pressed.

Li Qiyin chuckled and said, "Actually, if I had to choose one of these three treasures, I really wouldn't know which one to pick."

"However, I don't want to take on any apprentices!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire cave of the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable began to tremble violently.

Rumble!
Suddenly, the underground river beneath the stone arch bridge erupted, and a large amount of water imbued with the energy of Yin swept out, directly engulfing the three treasures presented to Li Qiyin.

"Oh no, she's trying to escape!" Daoist Ziqi frowned.

"Hmph, where can a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator go? I'd like to see what tricks he has up his sleeve." Peng Tianyun remained calm. He didn't care that his treasures had been stolen. Instead, he mobilized his internal magic power to directly imprison this area and seal off the space.

But in the next instant, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The thick stone walls on both sides suddenly shattered, and beams of Yin light shot out, rapidly intertwining in the air and finally transforming into an array that connected heaven and earth.

Upon witnessing this scene, they were all shocked, completely unaware of how the formation had been formed.

"Damn it, the person who broke into the other two stone gates just now triggered some kind of restriction. The woman said she needed to consider it earlier, but that was just stalling for time, waiting for the restrictions on both sides to be activated at the same time."

"Stop her! Don't let her leave!"

Three powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage simultaneously attacked, unleashing their supreme magical power to bombard the suddenly appearing Taiyin Restriction.

But this was a restriction set up by the Celestial Venerable, and even if the three of them joined forces, they would find it difficult to break through in a short time. They could only watch helplessly as the girl with the high ponytail stood in the center of the formation.

"Seniors, please don't bother with gifts. As for the treasures you've offered, I would be impolite to refuse them. In fact, I already have a master. My master once said that only the weak make choices, while only the strong can have it all!"

"I really like all these treasures, so I'll shamelessly take them all!"

After saying this, Li Qiyin stepped into the center of the formation and was lifted into the air by a dense aura of Yin energy.

As for the three Nascent Soul stage experts, they could only watch helplessly as the restrictions left by the Taiyin Heavenly Venerable suppressed them in place, rendering them unable to move.
