Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 141: Breaking the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Array

Ever since Emperor Yu cast the tripod, the tripod has symbolized the country and royal power. According to legend, after King Wu divided the world, he cast a tripod with mixed gold to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty for eternity. Later, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty declined, and the princes coveted the royal power. They went to Luoyi to inquire about the weight of the tripod in an attempt to dominate the world. Among them, King Wu of Qin overestimated his own abilities and died under the Zhou tripod. After Qin conquered Zhou, the Zhou tripod disappeared. It is said that it sank in the Si River. Ying Zheng once sent soldiers to salvage it, but returned empty-handed. Unexpectedly, he did not expect that the Zhou tripod would appear here.

Judging from the location of their corpses, it is very likely that after they obtained the Zhou Ding, they triggered the mechanism inside and died. In Wuzhan's eyes, it was just a useless object and the kingdom had nothing to do with him. But looking at the blue flame that barely flickered and the extremely cold aura, Wuzhan knew that it would not be that simple and there must be some unknown secret in it.

The flame burning in this Zhou Ding is strange, and is very similar to the 'Bei Ming Yin Fire' refined by Jiang Yuan. The 'Bei Ming Yin Fire' emits an icy air, while this flame emits a cold breath.

Wuzhan looked at the flames and asked in a low voice, "Miss Miao, do you know what this strange fire is?"

Miao Xin pondered, "Being near this flame is like being oppressed by thousands of feet of sea water, and breathing is extremely difficult. Miao Xin has seen such descriptions in ancient books and suspects that this should be the 'Sea Heart Burial Fire', one of the four great divine fires!"

"Ms. Miao's true energy belongs to wood, and this flame belongs to water. Water produces wood. If you can obtain this 'Sea Heart Burial Fire', your cultivation may be greatly improved. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Miaoxin looked at Wuzhan with her beautiful eyes. Even if her master came here, he might not be able to refine this divine fire. How could Wuzhan, a person without any cultivation, help her refine it successfully? She said half-believingly, "The spiritual energy of this divine fire is too strong. Miaoxin can only sigh in despair."

"My young master is extremely smart and he always does what he says. If you don't want it, then I will. What's more, my young master gave me the Little Face Bell and he still owes me a magic weapon. Giving this to me will just barely make it even!" Jin Xingzi said with a proud smile.

Wuzhan said to Jin Xingzi calmly: "Your attributes are not compatible with this divine fire. If you are not careful, you will be like these corpses on the ground. If you want, I will not stop you."

"Tsk! If you want to give it to the fairy, just say so directly. Why bother to scare me again!" Jin Xingzi complained.

Miaoxin blushed when she heard this. She had just come down the mountain and had encountered such a strange thing less than a day ago. Although she didn't know this person, she felt that he was very mysterious. There must be a reason why her master asked her to come here.

Wuzhan said calmly: "There is an array on this cauldron, which was set up when the cauldron was cast. If I'm not mistaken, it's called the 'Liang Yi Water and Fire Array'. Judging from the cracks on these corpses, they were not killed by the 'Sea Heart Burial Fire'. There should be another equivalent divine fire in this cauldron. Don't you want it too, Jin Xingzi? The divine fire hidden in it is given to you. However, it is not a gift that can be given away at will. Once we fail, we will all turn into corpses. You must consider it carefully!" The Liang Yi Water and Fire Array is one of the arrays recorded in "The Collection of Array Solutions". The materials needed for the array are two kinds of divine fire with water and fire attributes, which are very difficult to find.

If this divine fire could be refined, then Miaoxin's cultivation would very likely break through the realm of Hedao and leap to the realm of Sanxian. Looking at the world of cultivators, there are only a handful of people like him. How could Miaoxin not be tempted by such a temptation? But this divine fire was too fierce, and Miaoxin did not have any confidence in it. If he was not careful, he would die here. It was indeed a difficult decision.

Wuzhan looked at Zhou Ding and said calmly, "The Yin-Yang Fire Array is a magic array that uses the 'Red Refining Flame' as Yang and the 'Sea Heart Burial Fire' as Yin. It is set up to imitate the Yin-Yang Qi of heaven and earth. The two kinds of divine fire are mutually opposed, but also interdependent, and are endless. If you want to eliminate Yang, you need Yin, but when Yin is strong and Yang is weak, Yin will backfire on you. If you want to eliminate Yin, you need Yang, but when Yang is strong and Yin is weak, Yang will backfire on you. It can be said to be seamless, so anyone who wants to break this array will eventually get burned."

"Since this formation is so powerful, is there no way to break it?" Miao Xin asked.

"I don't know if you have noticed that the color of the flame is changing. The blue flame is lighter than when I first came in. I think it will turn white in a while, and then red, over and over again. If you want to break this formation, you need to understand its operating rules. The slightest deviation will cause the divine fire to rage and rage." He paused and continued, "Any formation can be broken as long as it can be set up. However, the more advanced the formation, the more difficult it is to break. The key to breaking this formation lies in the word 'lead'. If you lead it for other purposes, it will be solved."

"How can I use it for other purposes?" Miao Xin asked.

"The two divine fires are stimulated, and each person draws the divine fire that the other person needs to refine to the other person, and at the same time refines the divine fire that the other person draws to themselves. It can be said that they are doing two things at the same time, and the two people must be in sync with each other. If one person fails to do so, both will die. This is the difficulty of breaking this formation."

To refine a spiritual object, one must calm down and concentrate, otherwise one will go astray. And the divine fire in front of him is not an ordinary spiritual object. Refining it is already uncertain, and it requires attention to others. This is a contradiction in itself, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. Miao Xin frowned and said doubtfully: "Jin Xingzi and I have just met, how can we communicate with each other? What's more, my cultivation is not enough, how can I refine it."

"Fortune and honor are sought in danger. Little Face Piao and I have followed the little master for so long, and the little master has never made a miscalculation. Little fairy, don't worry. The little master will not let us take risks without certainty. Hehe, if I can refine this divine fire, I will be stronger than Little Face Piao!" Jin Xingzi laughed aside.

Miaoxin knew from Jin Xingzi's performance tonight that his cultivation was not weak and his magic was quite peculiar. She had always been puzzled as to how Wuzhan, who had no cultivation at all, could have such a talented disciple. Could it be that he had a higher level of cultivation? But if so, why did her master send her here to protect his safety? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? Moreover, she had already checked Wuzhan's pulse, so she knew it could not be concealed.

But she felt in her heart that Wuzhan was definitely not an ordinary person. His indifferent eyes were full of mystery and invisible attraction. She had an inexplicable trust in him. Moreover, her master asked her to obey his orders, so it was not easy to disobey him. Thinking of this, she said softly, "Okay, then Miaoxin will give it a try!"

"Now if I ask you to communicate with each other's minds, it is absolutely impossible. However, I have a way to solve this problem. Use your own body to observe the other person's mind, and guide the other party's divine fire. In this way, you only need to focus on yourself and you can achieve both. Moreover, this refining process is different from refining by yourself. It relies on the power of others and this formation. As long as you take advantage of the situation, it will be much easier than refining alone."

"I told you, young master definitely has a way. Let's start quickly. I can't wait!" Jin Xingzi said with a grin.

"Don't be impatient. Even so, it is still very dangerous. It is actually equivalent to setting yourself on fire. You are tempering yourselves in the flames. I am not 100% sure."

Miao Xin nodded slightly after hearing this, "Please give your orders, sir!"

Wuzhan pointed at the white flame and said, "These two kinds of sacred fire have appeared at the same time. You sit on both sides of the Zhou Ding respectively and concentrate on distinguishing the two flames. Miss Miao feels the 'Red Refining Fire' and leads it to Jin Xingzi. Jin Xingzi feels the 'Sea Heart Burial Fire' and leads it to Miss Miao. Proceed step by step. Make sure the flame in the cauldron is always white and balanced. Do it now, and I'll remind you!" Upon hearing this, the two of them walked towards the golden cauldron, and sat opposite each other three feet away from the golden cauldron, with the Zhou Ding in between. They closed their eyes and felt the spiritual energy emitted by the flame in the cauldron.

Miaoxin was the first to feel the blazing flames. Not long after, Jinxingzi also felt the cold flames. At this time, Wuzhan shouted from a distance, "Begin to draw the spirit into your body!"

The white flame slowly rose up, and the tip of the flame showed two colors, red and blue, and gradually separated to both sides. The flame became longer and longer. At the same time, the core of the fire began to beat, and the blue flame began to bend towards Miaoxin, while the red flame also bent towards Jinxingzi at the same time, like a long snake crawling towards the two of them.

When the flame was about to reach the two people, it turned into a thin cloud and mist, forming a transparent sphere that enveloped the two people, and a faint spiritual energy floated into the five hearts.

As soon as the spiritual energy entered the body, Jin Xingzi felt an unbearable heat, while Miao Xin felt a bone-chilling chill. The two began to refine it immediately, while one continued to guide the other's spiritual energy.

"Puff! Puff!" Two consecutive sounds were heard, and flames burst out from the ground around the two people, enveloping them like flowers about to bloom in the blazing flames.

The flames in Zhou Ding had risen to a height of more than ten feet, and the flames had filled the mouth of the Ding. The red and blue flames on the tip of the fire began to slowly rotate with a "whoosh". At the same time, two people rose up in the sea of ​​fire and rotated with the flames in the Ding.

Heat waves rolled in Jin Xingzi's dantian, and fire spirit electricity rushed through his meridians, burning every inch of his flesh and bones. His stomach was churning, and as long as he opened his mouth, the fire would gush out. He focused his mind and turned the demonic power around his body, merging with it, guiding it, and controlling it. The sweat beads that emerged from his body evaporated and disappeared before they could flow out, and his whole body was shining with golden light.

The same was true for Miao Xin. The surging spiritual energy seemed to crush her. The cold air was running wildly in her body, trying to seal her entire soul and then shatter it. The green wood true energy and blue spiritual energy swirled and tumbled outside her body, and her pretty face was in a trance.

The two of them spun with the sea of ​​fire, forming a huge Tai Chi pattern, causing the air to roar. Wuzhan had retreated to the entrance, and the alternating flames made his body feel hot and cold. The powerful spiritual pressure made him feel breathless, and he breathed heavily. He sat cross-legged, circulating the little bit of spiritual energy left in his body from taking the Golden Fragrant Jade to support his body. His clothes fluttered, his long hair danced in the wind, and he focused on the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Array.

Jin Xingzi felt dizzy, and the spiritual energy in his body rushed upwards. His whole body seemed to be about to explode in the next moment. He began to regret refining the divine fire. This was more pain than he could bear. He was distracted for a moment, and the flame in the cauldron made a "whoosh" sound, flashing a red light, and rolling waves of fire rushed towards Jin Xingzi. The flames immediately doubled in size, and Jin Xingzi screamed in pain.

"Concentrate your mind and focus on Dantian. Let the Qi flow through the three palaces and nine orifices and connect with Baihui. Inspire the spiritual energy and melt it..." Wuzhan shouted on the side.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xingzi let out a loud shout, his veins bulged, his demonic power doubled, and he suddenly revealed his true form, transforming into a fire rat with red flames burning all over his body.

The balance was broken, and Miaoxin was affected. The spiritual energy in her body immediately lost control and burst out violently. She felt severe pain in her heart and was in a trance. She hurriedly circulated her meridians and released the Bimu Qi to the extreme. At this time, she heard Wuzhan's call, and according to Wuzhan's instructions, she guided the spiritual energy to Baihui and melted the spiritual energy into her body. At this time, the blue flame rolled towards Miaoxin, and the blue light rose, and the flame in the cauldron gradually returned to white.

Miao Xin closed her eyes slightly, concentrating on refining and guiding, and had no time to notice Jin Xingzi's changes, otherwise she would be frightened and the consequences would be disastrous.

As the spiritual energy in the sacred fire was drawn out, the flames gathered in the Tai Chi pattern became more and more, and the speed of rotation became faster and faster. The colorful lights in the dark room changed, and a strong wind blew, whistling shrilly, causing the earth to rumble. Wuzhe could no longer hold on, and he grabbed the wall, squinting his eyes, and fell to the ground, almost fainting.

The Tai Chi pattern was spinning very fast. The man and the beast were dragging their long shadows and spinning rapidly. They gradually became illusory, and their bodies were thrown outwards as if by a tremendous force, almost disintegrating.

"Young Master, please save me, I can't hold on any longer!" Jin Xingzi cried out in pain.

"Set the world in your palm, release the Zhongchong, unite your spirit and energy, and make your blood and energy compatible. Now the divine fire is about to be completely separated. You only need to persist and you will succeed. Don't move."

At this time, the Tai Chi diagram was almost at its limit. Two huge fireballs appeared in the air with loud rumbling sounds. The top of the wall cracked and rubble fell down. As soon as it fell into the flames, it was ignited. Fire rained in the dark room.

With a "puff" sound, the flames in Zhou Ding went out, and the "Red Refining Flame" and the "Sea Heart Burial Fire" separated. The Tai Chi pattern had grown to its maximum, whistling and spinning, shining brightly.

Miaoxin and Jinxingzi screamed out in pain at the same time. Their entire bodies were burning in flames. They were in so much pain that they lost consciousness. Their meridians were out of control and their souls seemed to be leaving their bodies.

Wuzhan looked at the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Formation that filled the entire space, and the scene in front of him became gradually illusory. He knew that they had passed the most dangerous stage and the divine fire that had been fused together had been separated. The next step was to use the remaining power of the formation. They would be able to refine the divine fire, integrate it into their blood, and make it a weapon that they could use at any time.

With blurry eyes, he looked at the Zhou Ding that was flickering and changing under the background of the divine fire, "What kind of rare treasure could be in here that is worth using such a powerful formation and consuming two kinds of divine fire to seal it?"
