Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 115 Corpse Dao Book
As the fire cloud approached the top of the island, Dai Xiangfei said, "Master, this is the place."

Xu Heng was a little surprised. Nine is the extreme number. The so-called Nine Yin True Evil is the most yin and pure evil spirit.

This volcanic island is gushing with fire and heat. It is obvious that the underground fire veins are strong, and may even reach the lungs of the earth. It is really hard to tell what connection it has with the Nine Yin True Evil.

However, Xu Heng changed his mind and felt that if this was true, it seemed to conform to the principles of yin and yang, and he couldn't help but believe it a little more.

The fire cloud gradually slowed down, avoiding the billowing black smoke and descending towards the volcanic island. Dai Xiangfei pointed into the crater again and said, "My father once said that if we go underground from this crater, we can find the location of the Nine Yin True Evil."

"I have tried to find it several times, but my magic power is too low, and I have never been able to go too deep." Dai Xiangfei apologized, "So I have no clues after bringing it here."

"Oh?" Xu Heng stared at the crater for a moment, then glanced at Dai Xiangfei and said, "It doesn't matter. In that case, I will look for it myself."

Dai Xiangfei breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed and said, "In that case, I dare not disturb the Taoist priest's exploration, and I will take my leave first."

Xu Heng nodded as a sign of agreement, but Dai Xiangfei was in no hurry to leave. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous. Do you know where the Taoist is practicing in the immortal mountain? Or is it possible for me to give him a token of my love?"

Xu Heng asked: "Why do you say that?"

"To be honest." Dai Xiangfei said sadly, "Although with the help of the Taoist priest, our Dai family was able to survive this disaster, but I have seen clearly that after my father's death, the Dai family no longer has the ability to defend Cangzhu Mountain."

"So I have decided to lead my people to move away from Cangzhu Mountain, but I have not yet decided where to go."

Dai Xiangfei took a deep breath and continued, "Master, you have been very kind to my Dai family. I have no way to repay you now, but if we can settle down in the future, we will definitely do our best to repay you. That's why I said this."

Xu Heng glanced at him slightly, and seeing his sincere expression, he couldn't help but smile faintly: "I am only doing this for the Nine Yin True Evil, don't worry about it."

Dai Xiangfei wanted to say something, but Xu Heng had already made up his mind and just said, "Go ahead."

Seeing this, Dai Xiangfei had no choice but to bow and say goodbye, then turned and flew towards Bi Haizhou. A moment later, he disappeared from the end of his sight.

Xu Heng then said to Ling Junzi: "Junior sister, do you want to come with us?"

Ling Junzi glanced into the crater a few times, with a little fear on his face, and said, "Brother, I don't know how to ward off fire."

Xu Heng's thoughts turned. Although he possessed the Fire Escape Technique and could take Ling Junzi with him, he didn't know what the situation was like under the crater, and he didn't know how deep the Nine Yin True Evil was hiding. So he didn't need to show off his prowess, so he said, "Then Junior Sister, wait for me on the island."

Ling Junzi nodded, and Xu Heng took out a piece of black ice from his sleeve and said, "Junior sister, take this for self-defense. If you encounter danger, you can directly activate it."

Ling Junzi took it in his hand and exclaimed, "Isn't this the Black Ice Warrior from yesterday?"

Xu Heng smiled slightly, this was indeed the 'Mysterious Ice Warrior', but the spirituality of the thousand-year-old mysterious ice and the magic power he infused into it were not much left, and without the help of the right time and place, he no longer had that much magic power.

Of course, having said that, it is still not difficult to resist ordinary cultivators for a moment, and once stimulated, he will feel something and can immediately return from the volcano, which is enough to protect Ling Junzi.

He did not explain much, but only taught Ling Junzi the method of awakening the Xuanbing Hercules. After making sure that she had memorized it carefully, he flew towards the volcano without any further delay.

In the crater, magma was surging. This thing was not actually flame. Simply relying on fire escape techniques, one could not directly escape in it unless one reached the realm where one could escape by turning into fire.

Xu Heng thought about it, and poured his magic power into the Hesu robe. Soon, a thin smoke emerged from the robe and lingered around it.

Xu Heng tried to fly closer to the magma, and as he got closer, he saw the magma slightly separate. He immediately stopped hesitating and dived into the magma. All of a sudden, all he saw was orange, red, and golden colors, as if he had fallen into a world filled with only heat.

However, although he was surrounded by magma on all sides, he was separated by a thin layer of smoke, making it difficult for it to penetrate at all. As for the huge fire and heat, Xu Heng was not afraid of it because he had the Fire Escape Technique.

"Good robe." Xu Heng praised secretly. When this robe came into his hands, it didn't show any effect in controlling Qi and defending himself, but its ability to create earth, water, fire and wind came in handy.

Although he could also cast spells to separate the magma himself, with the He Su robe, he obviously saved a lot of mana, and could also free up his mind to deal with other changes.

Xu Heng decisively fled towards the depths of the magma. He expected that the Nine Yin Disha was probably buried deep underground, even deeper than the seabed, so he increased his speed very quickly.

Firstly, he was afraid that if he went slowly, he would not be able to reach such a deep place even if he exhausted all his magic power. Secondly, Xu Hengtong had read Taoist books and knew that the deep earth was not completely dead.

In the turbid air, the fire of the earth, the spirit of Kun, and even various evil spirits, anything could possibly be born, not to mention the dangers buried deep in the earth in ancient times...

Generally speaking, even if ordinary cultivators have the ability to fly and hide, they dare not go too deep underground.

Therefore, Xu Heng had to reserve some magic power to guard against unexpected events, and so he sped all the way, even with some of the momentum of his past time when he was quickly flashing through the cracks in the ground.

But surprisingly, he had only gone about four or five thousand feet deep when he vaguely sensed some changes.

"I'm afraid it hasn't reached the bottom of the sea yet. Could it be that this volcano was not formed by the eruption of fire from the earth's lungs?" Xu Heng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of something.

According to legend, most of the countless islands in the Xingxiu Sea were formed by meteorites falling into the sea. Could it be that this volcano and even the Nine Yin True Evils that may exist in it were brought here by meteorites?
Without making too many guesses, Xu Heng followed his own senses and suddenly felt that the temperature was rising rapidly as he went forward. Even the magma no longer existed, only the purest flames surging.

The power of the fire was so great that it even surpassed many fire techniques, and even Xu Heng's fire escape technique was unable to resist it.

While Xu Heng was secretly paying attention to the consumption of his magic power to prevent himself from falling into an irretrievable situation, he also increased his speed and fled forward for a few breaths with all his strength. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a large rock wall in front of him, which appeared to be gold and iron in the calcination of flames.

Xu Heng frowned slightly and searched along the rock wall. Soon he found a place in front of him where the anger was "vented". He approached and took a look, and found that it was indeed a cave leading to the depths of the rock wall.

Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed in decisively. Soon he saw a majestic black gas surging in and colliding with the fire, but it did not cause any earth-shattering movement, but formed an unusual harmony.

"Nine Yin True Evil!"

Xu Heng's spirits lifted, and he broke out of the flames and fell into the black air, feeling the pure and abundant Yin Sha Qi, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart. In this flame-filled underground, there actually grew a Nine Yin True Sha of the purest Yin, which was truly a miraculous creation.

Xu Heng raised his hand and took a ray of Yin Sha between his fingers. He immediately knew that this Nine Yin True Sha was of excellent quality! It was so pure that it seemed as if there was no impurity mixed in.

But this is impossible. There is still one escape in the 49th Heavenly Dao. How could the Earthly Evil created by nature not have any impurities mixed in? It's just that it's so pure that Xu Heng can't sense it.

Another possibility is that the Nine Yin True Evil grew in the midst of underground fire, and was therefore constantly "burned" by the underground fire, becoming more refined every moment.

Thinking of this, Xu Heng couldn't help but turn his head back, carefully feeling the conflict between evil spirit and anger, and he really discovered some of the taste of it.

Xu Heng intuitively felt that this would be of great help to his understanding of yin and yang, and he was immersed in it for a while, but gradually, a solemn look appeared on his face.

"This is." Xu Heng opened his Dharma Eyes, looked carefully for a moment, and his heart suddenly sank.

His feeling was not wrong, but in such a short period of time, the "boundary" where the anger and evil spirits collided had actually moved a little inward. Although this distance could be described as insignificant, it did exist.

But for the Nine Yin True Evil to grow here and even exist for such a long time, there must be a delicate balance between it and the earth fire. Otherwise, one of them would have been consumed long ago, so how could Xu Heng have had the chance to come here?
In this situation, there is only one possibility, that is, someone has taken or is taking the Nine Yin True Evil, which directly caused the imbalance between Yin and Yang.

"Dai family?" Xu Heng had this thought, but rejected it in an instant. Except for Dai Zhiling, it would be difficult for the other members of the Dai family to enter this place through the crater with their magic power, not to mention using the Nine Yin True Evil.

Xu Heng frowned, no longer having the time to watch the conflict between yin and yang, so he turned around and went into the evil spot.

The corridor in this evil cave was actually created by the impact and erosion of evil spirits, so most of it was not very winding. The evil spirit became thicker the further one went in. Gradually, everything in front of him became pitch black, and he could only grope forward using his divine sense.

During this time, he had discovered that the Nine Yin True Evil was indeed decreasing, and his heart sank even more.

Xu Heng has determined that deep in this evil cave, someone must be taking the real evil, and this is obviously not good news for him.

Xu Heng took a deep breath to calm himself down. He did not increase his speed in a hurry, but continued to carefully explore the situation ahead before going deeper. After walking for perhaps one or two hours, he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.

In his perception, there seemed to be something floating and coming towards him.

"Is this... a human?" Xu Heng sensed the appearance of the thing with his spiritual sense and immediately became alert. He knew that the matter involved Disha and it was no longer an ordinary dispute of interests, but a struggle for the path of Taoism.

The two of them were in the same dangerous spot. Even if he didn't take action, the other party would kill him, so he raised his fingertips slightly and made a sword gesture.

In this narrow terrain, although the flying sword cannot be used, its killing power is the most intuitive. Xu Heng only needs to think about it, and the shadow-transmitting sword will immediately shoot out and kill the opponent through.

But he only held the sword in his hand for a moment and then suddenly let it go.

He found that the 'person' did not seem to be coming towards him, but was floating around with the surge of evil spirit. This behavior did not look like a living person, but more like... a corpse.

"What on earth is this?" Xu Heng frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves and walked quickly inside. After a while, with his limited vision, he finally saw a figure floating up and down in the evil spirit.

Xu Heng had a slight thought and cast a teleportation spell to capture the figure. It turned out to be just a corpse.

"Why is there a corpse in this evil cave? Could it be that this person overestimated his own abilities and failed to combine the Nine Yin True Evils, and instead lost his life?"

While Xu Heng was thinking, he had already brought the corpse in front of him. He turned it over and took a look at the face. He was shocked.

The man was about thirty years old, with square brows and a nose like a hanging gallbladder. Needless to say, he was quite handsome, but Xu Heng felt that he was very familiar.

When he was on Yuechi Island, Master Xuanxin once showed him a portrait of Dai Zhiling. Didn't he look like this?

"Dai Zhiling?! How could this man die in this evil cave?" Xu Heng was shocked and doubtful. He used his clairvoyant eyes to look up and down. He did not find any fatal wounds on Dai Zhiling's body, but he saw that his body was still absorbing the Nine Yin True Evil. He couldn't help but find it even more incredible.

It turns out that the one who was still "absorbing" the Nine Yin True Evil was Dai Zhiling's corpse. But why did he, a dignified Gangsha cultivator, die in the evil cave, and why did he continue to absorb the Nine Yin True Evil after his death?

Xu Heng was filled with doubts and hesitated for a moment before he apologized. He searched the body from head to toe but only found a scarlet jade pendant.

It turns out that this jade pendant is also a storage device. The space inside it is more than ten times larger than that of an ordinary storage bag, but the things inside it are pitifully small, with only a few items.

Xu Heng looked at them one by one. There were several bottles of elixirs of unknown origin, hundreds of magic coins, and a large number of spirit stones... He did not look at any of these treasures, and in the end he only found a thin jade box.

In fact, Xu Heng felt that these things could not answer his doubts, but after thinking about it, he opened the jade box and took a look, and he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

It turned out that the thin jade box contained a Taoist book, which really touched Xu Heng's heart.

He might not care about money and property, and he even thought that if there was a chance in the future, he could return the body and these things to Dai, but when he saw this book, he couldn't help but want to take a look at it.

Xu Heng thought about it and decided to open the title page to see if there was any secret. However, he did not expect that after just one glance, he was immediately shocked.

The preface of this Taoist book describes in a self-narrative tone his "spiritual journey beyond the heavens" and the world he saw that was completely different from this world.

All living beings there are practicing the methods of becoming immortals. The author uses only a few strokes to describe the immense magical powers of those outstanding ones who can lift mountains and cross seas and turn the world upside down.

This is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that the author actually commented on the method of human immortality in a condescending manner, saying that "it is quite desirable" and that jade from other mountains can be used to polish stones.

He observed the methods of becoming an immortal and created a stunning technique, which he recorded in this chapter.
