Refining Demons to Become a Taoist: Refining 108,000 Insects at the Beginning.

Chapter 303 Refining
Within the Xuanming Pearl, there exists a world of its own.

Zang Ji and Huan Nie fell into it and were instantly pulled into the Heavenly Celebration Clouds.

Within the auspicious clouds of the heavens, 108,000 realms have evolved, and there are endless starry skies, seemingly without end.

Here, let's not say that Zangji and Huannie have become puppets, devoid of consciousness.

Even if it is conscious, under the cycle of the 108,000 worlds and the scouring of the endless starry sky, it will collapse and turn into the original source.

Chen Ming has now saved himself a lot of trouble.

However, fearing that something unexpected might happen, Chen Ming still urged the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds to process Cangji and Huannie once more.

Only after confirming that the two had no hidden tricks and that they had broken the puppet-transformation talisman of True Lord Xiangyuan were they relieved.

With a thought, Chen Ming caused the 108,000 realms within the Heavenly Celebration Clouds to tremble, and the endless starry sky to crack open, unleashing purple lightning that struck Cang Ji and Huan Nie.

In an instant, time flowed through the heavenly clouds, and purple lightning struck ten trillion times.

The bodies of Zangji and Huannie finally made a cracking sound.

Having found a breakthrough, the Purple Qi Thunder unleashed its power once more.

After countless bombardments, the two True Monarch bodies were completely annihilated, leaving only two primordial energies containing the essence of the true Dao, floating and sinking among the auspicious clouds of the heavens.

"Refining!"

Under Chen Ming's urging, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds continuously devoured the two sources, strengthening themselves.

With such True Lord's essence as nourishment, not only the auspicious clouds of the heavens, but also the illusory nature of the entire Xuanming Pearl, were weakened and became more and more real.

As the Xuanming Pearl became more and more real, Chen Ming's power gradually recovered, and he had more means at his disposal.

When the Xuanming Pearl is fully condensed in the True Realm, and the 108,000 realms and endless starry sky in the Heavenly Celebration Clouds are fully manifested in the True Realm, then Chen Ming will be able to gain a firm foothold in the True Realm!

Otherwise, Chen Ming would ultimately feel that his cultivation was somewhat illusory, like a rootless duckweed, making it difficult for him to carry out his tasks effectively.

"Why does his strength and aura seem to be becoming more stable, as if he has improved?"

Xiangyuan Zhenjun could not sense the auras of Cangji and Huannie, but he noticed Chen Ming's abnormality.

Chen Ming spent a long time refining Cang Ji and Huan Nie within the Xuanming Pearl.

However, this is not the case in the true world.

The flow of time between the two is not the same; in the true world, it is merely the blink of an eye.

It was only a short moment after Cangji and Huannie disappeared.

Xiang Yuan never imagined that the two True Monarch puppets she had schemed to control for many years had already been refined by Chen Ming.

The Five Divine Flames are still burning and approaching!

Without the puppets to block him, True Monarch Xiangyuan emitted rings of light, preventing Chen Ming's flames from getting close.

"Chen Zhenjun's methods are truly remarkable!"

"To be honest, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other!"

"The Yellow Springs Divine Palace is about to appear in the world, why not stop here and each take a step back?"

True Monarch Xiangyuan relented first. She had already sensed the aura of the Yellow Springs Divine Palace. Continuing to entangle with Chen Ming would not only be pointless but also bring no benefit. It would be a losing proposition!

However, Chen Ming didn't care at all, and instead pushed the Five Divine Flames even harder.

True Lord Xiangyuan said again, "True Lord Chen, please stop!"

"We are in the wrong today. If you stop, Yin You is at your disposal!"

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow, somewhat tempted.

If Yin You Zhenjun is swallowed into the Xuanming Pearl and refined, he will be able to recover more.

However, we must be wary of the methods of True Lord Xiangyuan!
"Since that's the case, we must at least see True Lord Xiangyuan's sincerity!"

As Chen Ming spoke, he withdrew his magical power, stabilizing the momentum of the Five Divine Flames, holding them back without unleashing them. True Monarch Xiangyuan's expression was compassionate: "Yin You, the calamity that befell the Ten Kings Palace today was all caused by you, and naturally, it should end with you!"

As she spoke, a golden talisman materialized in her hand and flew towards Chen Ming.

Chen Ming waved the Five Qi Tree branch in his hand, which transformed into a five-colored divine light hand that grasped the talisman.

With a mental scan, the talisman became the catalyst for controlling and refining the Yin You True Monarch.

With a little refinement, it can be used to control the puppet-transforming talisman planted on Yin You Zhenjun, causing him to gradually lose his intelligence and become a puppet without will.

"Xiang Yuan is truly ruthless, but he is also sincere; he didn't leave any tricks up his sleeve with this talisman!"

"Since we've offended such a person, we absolutely must not let him live!"

Chen Ming did not discover that True Lord Xiangyuan had tampered with the talisman, and even if he had, Chen Ming would not care.

Since True Lord Xiangyuan is so sincere, and those two ancient True Lords, Black Rope and Wheel, did not obstruct him, it seems that he does not care about such matters.

Therefore, Chen Ming naturally didn't hold back.

With a forceful squeeze of the five-colored divine light hand, the talisman exploded completely, activating all the hidden puppet transformation talismans on Yin You Zhenjun's body.

With the help of Chen Ming's Five Divine Flames, Yin You Zhenjun didn't even have time to utter a word before his intelligence was completely extinguished by his own hatred and resentment.

"receive!"

Chen Ming gave a light shout and swept the Five Qi Tree branch in his hand forward.

Then a thick, five-colored divine light flew out and landed on Yin You Zhenjun.

The five-colored divine light obscured the view, making it impossible to discern the truth.

When the five-colored divine light dissipated, Yin You Zhenjun had disappeared without a trace, having been swallowed and processed into the Xuanming Pearl by Chen Ming.

When Xiangyuan Zhenjun tried to sense it again, just like before, he couldn't sense anything.

There was not a trace left, as if Yin You Zhenjun had never appeared in the True Realm.

"This Chen Zhenjun's methods are unpredictable. The Five Divine Flames are just the surface; there are probably many other troublesome supernatural abilities hidden in the shadows. We can't afford to be caught off guard!"

As Xiangyuan Zhenjun thought this, his smile became even more amiable.

"True Lord Chen, you have seen my sincerity. Without the threat of Yin You, from now on, the Ten Kings Palace and the Five Gods lineage should be as close as family and look after each other!"

Chen Ming withdrew the divine light from the Five Qi Tree in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face as he held it.

"That's natural!"

"With True Lord Xiangyuan here, the Ten Kings Palace lineage has nothing to fear in terms of prosperity!"

"With the appearance of the Yellow Springs Divine Palace this time, True Lord Xiangyuan will surely gain an opportunity and advance further!"

"In the future, I will need True Lord Xiangyuan's continued guidance!"

After hearing Chen Ming's words, Xiangyuan Zhenjun pretended to agree for a couple more minutes, and then a loud "boom" was heard.

The Palace of the Underworld suddenly appeared in the world!

It manifested from the depths of the Yellow Springs.

In an instant, the entire Yellow Springs Secret Realm trembled, and countless invisible auras converged and landed on the Yellow Springs Divine Palace.

The Yellow Springs Divine Palace is like the ruler of the entire Yellow Springs Secret Realm!
Upon its appearance, it will suppress everything in the Yellow Springs Secret Realm and make all living beings in the Yellow Springs Secret Realm submit to it!

“So domineering!”

"The Yellow Spring Emperor has perished, but his true Dao essence has likely merged with the Yellow Spring Divine Palace, giving it sentience!"

"Otherwise, even if the Yellow Springs Divine Palace possessed the power of a True Monarch, it wouldn't have such an overbearing pressure!"

Chen Ming sensed the aura of the Yellow Springs Divine Palace and tried to probe its secrets.
