Pure Yang!

Chapter 351: The Enlightenment of the Ancestor Heavenly Master! The Pure Yang Prophecy
The snowflakes on the Cangshan Mountain are as big as a mat, and the waning moon shines on the Yinqu Canal.

On the cliff, in the wind and snow, bursts of killing cries and terrifying roars arose, adding a touch of weirdness to this silent and murderous world.

"This is where the True Man Chunyang used to practice seclusion. Get out of here quickly."

"Damn it, half of our troops have been killed again. If only the Fourth Master were here, his Living Dead spell would have helped us avoid this."

"Master Ye Si went to Mangdang Mountain, where there are clues about [A is born and Gui dies], and they are very conclusive. Master Mo Wu and Master Li San also went there."

"The Third Master is gone? Hasn't his health always been poor?"

The cliff was steep, with only a few feet of space to stand. Seven or eight figures gathered there, braving the wind and snow. Three of them were wearing Taoist robes, while the rest were dressed in secular clothes.

All eyes were cast on an ancient cave not far above, embedded in a cliff thousands of feet high. The surrounding area was as smooth as a mirror, and there were large dragon and snake seals engraved on it. No one knew what was written on it. It looked like a special Taoist temple cave hidden in a barren mountain.

Each of these people has a restrained divine light and a strong aura, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary masters.

However, at this moment, these people's robes were stained with blood, their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with fatigue and awe.

"The place where Master Chunyang is in seclusion is very important. We can only send someone to the White Crane Temple in Shangjing to invite you to come."

"My master has gone to Beizhang, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go there because I am too busy to do so."

Everyone was talking in a flurry, with worried looks on their faces. It was really worrying that they were in the treasure cave but couldn't enter.

However, at this moment, no one dared to cross the line, as this hole alone had already caused them to suffer heavy casualties.

"Let's all go back."

Suddenly, an indifferent voice resounded between the vast heaven and earth. On the top of the cliff, in the vast snow, a figure fell from the sky. He was tall and wearing a cloak. He walked on the cliff as if it were flat ground, and stepped on the wind and snow as if he was wading through shallows. In a twinkling, he had landed on the open space in the abbot's room.

"Second Master!"

"Second Master is here!"

"Greetings to the second master."

Upon seeing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise and bowed in worship, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"grandfather!"

The light and shadows flickered, and Zhang Fan couldn't help but be moved. What he saw through that pure thought was the scene of the past. The tall figure in front of him was none other than [Divine Gua Zhang Tiansheng].

He had a very high prestige among the crowd. As soon as he showed up, everyone felt at ease and was no longer as panicked and frightened as before.

"Second Master, we found the place."

A man in a Taoist robe came out and pointed at a cave entrance on a cliff in the wind and snow.

"I have finally found the place where Master Beixuan was in seclusion. It is worth my seven years of traveling all over the country." Zhang Tiansheng said calmly.

"Master Beixuan, there really has been such a master in this world." A one-eyed man with a scar on his face whispered beside him.

Li Beixuan, a person who has never been recorded in history, is only occasionally mentioned in the letters of predecessors from major Taoist sects.

Zhang Tiansheng had seen sporadic records of this person in Zhongnan Mountain. More than 900 years ago, Li Beixuan appeared out of nowhere. He once studied Taoism in Zhenwu Mountain, and later sneaked into Wuwei Sect and became a hidden man. During this period, by chance, he practiced the complete Beidi method, made great progress in his cultivation, and was promoted all the way to the throne of the Lord of Xuan Palace.

It was from that time that his thoughts underwent a drastic change. He was neither inclined towards Taoism nor towards Wuwei.

Such a "two-faced" attitude made the Taoist sect very unhappy. Just when the various Taoist sects were preparing to take action against him, an earth-shattering event happened.

Li Beixuan comprehended the Pure Yang Wuji Dao and entered a level that everyone looked up to but could never reach.

Pure Yang is infinite and unparalleled in the world. Once you enter this realm, you are called a True Man.

At that time, his prestige in the Wuwei Sect reached its peak, and no one in the Taoist Sect dared to challenge him.

During Li Beixuan's reign, he never launched a large-scale war. Instead, he rested and recuperated, and tried his best to reconcile the relationship between the Wuwei Sect and the Taoist Sect, suppressing the hatred and restlessness of both sides.

It is also because of this that the Wuwei Sect briefly mentioned this person, but the various Taoist sects hated him deeply. Even though he had entered the realm of Pure Yang Wuji, all traces of this person were still deliberately erased in many records.

"Only seven years after True Man Beixuan passed away, the Taoist sect launched the sixth campaign to destroy mountains and temples." Zhang Tiansheng murmured softly.

He pieced together these past events from the notes of Taoist predecessors and sporadic records of the Wuwei Sect.

He spent a lot of effort on this.

"It's really hard to imagine that such a person seems to have never been here." Someone sighed.

How many people have sought immortality throughout history, and how many have achieved pure yang?
He was a great figure who founded a school of thought and was highly respected by people. However, more than nine hundred years have passed. Who still remembers his name or that he had ever lived on earth?
"The great river flows eastward, and all the great men of the ages have been washed away by the waves. They have become like mud and yellow sand, unknown to later generations."

Zhang Tiansheng spoke softly and leisurely, and with a wave of his hand, he brought everyone's thoughts back to their senses.

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tiansheng flew high like a black bird or a great roc, and leaped up directly into the cave hanging on the cliff.

"Second Master!"

Everyone's expression suddenly changed, and they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stop for a moment. They all gritted their teeth and followed.

The cave was deep and dark. Under the bright moonlight and the falling snow, one could vaguely see a shadow on the wall ten steps away from the cave entrance. The shadow looked like a person sitting cross-legged in meditation, motionless.

When everyone saw the shadow, they stepped back and kept their distance, with deep fear in their eyes.

"Second Master, there's something strange about that shadow. Anyone who gets close to it will have their soul destroyed, and we'll suffer heavy losses." Someone leaned close to Zhang Tiansheng's ear and whispered.

"Facing the wall and leaving a shadow is indeed the realm of pure yang and infinity." Zhang Tiansheng couldn't help but sigh softly as he looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground.

"Pure Yang is boundless. Once a thought arises, the heaven and earth will be reversed, so this shadow is left behind."

At this moment, a sinister voice came from behind.

Everyone looked and saw an old man with a hunched back standing at the entrance of the cave, behind everyone.

"Who is it?" a man in Taoist robes shouted.

"Old fox, you are late." Zhang Tiansheng said lightly without turning his head.

"Zhang Laoer, Ailao Mountain is too far from here. It took three days and three nights just to ride the green train. My old bones are all broken."

The old man whispered and slowly took off his hat. He raised his eyelids slightly, and his eyes were as green as pearls.

At this moment, everyone was moved and stepped back to make way.

The blue-eyed fox of Ailao Mountain is a monster whose evil reputation is known throughout the world.

"Is there really a ninth law hidden in this? If not, it's really not worth taking such a big risk."

The blue-eyed fox walked to Zhang Tiansheng's side, looked into the depths of the ancient cave, then looked at the shadow on the wall, with deep fear on his old face.

"Master Bei Xuan is a man who has a deep understanding of the secrets of heaven. In his later years, he has been studying the Nine Laws and the Diagram of Eight Kings Carrying the Coffin. I can be sure that even if the Ninth Law is not included, there are still extremely important clues." Zhang Tiansheng said with great certainty.

He took Xu Laoliu and robbed many ancient tombs and Taoist mausoleums before finding this place. How could he return empty-handed?

"Then let's get started."

The blue-eyed fox's eyes turned slightly and looked at the shadow left on the wall.

"Zhang Laoer, this thing can destroy the soul, what do you think it is?" The blue-eyed fox said suddenly without rushing to take action.

“There are many ways in this world that can restrain the destruction of the soul, but there are only two things that the soul is inherently afraid of.” Zhang Tiansheng said lightly.

"Thoughts and the three corpses!" the blue-eyed fox said.

"Thoughts are very interesting. The ancestors said that everything is created by the mind, and the mind is the thought..." Zhang Tiansheng said in a serious tone. "Even the world we see is created by thoughts."

The blue-eyed fox raised his eyebrows. He knew that the ancestor Zhang Tiansheng was talking about was the founder of Longhu Mountain, the ancestor of Taoism, and the Patriarch Zhang Daoling.

That is the true great figure in the world throughout history.

"The world is created by thoughts. Isn't it too idealistic?" whispered the blue-eyed fox.

“Idealism?” Zhang Tiansheng laughed: “Old fox, you are a big demon who has lived in the mountains for a long time, but you keep talking about idealism…”

As he spoke, Zhang Tiansheng shook his head and changed the subject: "I heard from my third child that Western science has done an experiment called the double-slit interference experiment..."

"What do you mean?" The blue-eyed fox was confused.

"The conclusion is that microscopic matter is particles when we observe it, and superimposed waves when we don't observe it..." Zhang Tiansheng said lightly.

Why does just one act of observation produce such different results?
All actions follow from thoughts, and when thoughts arise, conditions arise.

"That is to say, thoughts can influence and even form matter."

Everyone seemed to understand what Zhang Tiansheng said, and even the blue-eyed fox remained silent.

"The ancestor said that the soul might also be a kind of thought."

"Um!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned pale with anger. Such remarks overturned their cognition and were beyond their understanding.

As we all know, thoughts are the first tribulation of the soul, so how can they be the same thing.

"The same element carbon can also form different substances, such as coal or diamonds..." Zhang Tiansheng explained.

"If thoughts are water vapor, then the soul is solidified ice, transparent as glass, and always indestructible..."

"Water vapor can melt the ice, so thoughts are the calamity of the soul..."

"But on the contrary, water vapor can also become a part of the ice, making it stronger. However, the universe is so vast that there is only one way to achieve this..."

"The most evil thing in the world is the holy fetus of gods and demons!" The blue-eyed fox's eyes darkened slightly and uttered eight words.

He had to admit that Master Zu Tianshi's insights were indeed refreshing, as if they had opened an unprecedented door.

"As expected of a disciple of Nan Zhang, a true Dragon and Tiger."

The blue-eyed fox looked at Zhang Tiansheng and couldn't help revealing envy. Just relying on such an identity and such a surname, it was a height that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

"What are those three corpses?" the blue-eyed fox suddenly asked.

“Master Bei Xuan has comprehended the fact that the three corpses control one’s fate. The three corpses are hidden in everyone’s body.” Zhang Tiansheng changed the subject but did not respond directly.

"In my opinion, this shadow can illuminate the three corpses of the human body, so it can trigger a catastrophe and cause the three corpses to die."

"It's not a thought, but the three corpses." The blue-eyed fox seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded.

"That'll be easy."

As he spoke, he took out an oil lamp from his arms. It was withered and mottled, with traces of rust and blood on it. It was unknown how many years it had been through.

"This thing really fell into Ailao Mountain." When Zhang Tiansheng saw the dry lamp, his expression changed slightly, and he obviously recognized it.

This lamp seems to have a great origin.

"hey-hey……"

The green-eyed fox sneered, and his eyes were filled with a dim color, as if they were covered with mist, and the brilliance seemed to be taken away. Then, the dry lamp actually lit up, and the dim light was reflected on everyone, and their shadows slowly dissipated.

"Let's go..." The green-eyed fox walked in front with an oil lamp.

"But..." someone hesitated.

"This is called the darkest place under the lamp. Being able to hide the three corpses is a method used by the great Taoists in ancient times to avoid disasters." The blue-eyed fox said without turning his head.

Zhang Tiansheng walked behind the blue-eyed fox without saying much. Everyone else followed him without saying much, and they all walked past the shadow on the wall.

At this moment, the oil lamp in the blue-eyed fox's hand shook gently, and the dim light passed away from the person who had just questioned.

hum...

The next moment, the man fell to the ground with a thud, his soul disintegrated and turned into starlight, which was absorbed by the shadow on the wall.

"hey-hey……"

The green-eyed fox grinned and chuckled. Under the dim candlelight, his face gradually distorted, like a fox's face.

hum...

The light and shadows danced and changed constantly, and Zhang Fan's mind also flowed with the light and shadows.

Finally, another picture popped up.

In front of the ancient stone gate, corpses were lying on the ground. The green-eyed fox was leaning against the wall, breathing weakly. His eyes had long been broken, leaving only two black holes. His lower body was like a dead tree and was actually beginning to weather.

“After all, it is the place where the real person is in seclusion… This is the method of the Five Elements King…” the blue-eyed fox said weakly.

"Zhang Laoer, you can walk the road ahead by yourself. Give me a quick death."

There was no joy or anger on the blue-eyed fox's face. Such a great demon had long since become indifferent to life and death, and yin and yang had become one. There was nothing worth fearing.

hum...

Zhang Tiansheng's face was slightly gloomy. Without saying much, he flicked his finger and a beam of black flame flew out, igniting the blue-eyed fox, and the raging fire instantly engulfed it.

"Pure Yang...Pure Yang...How many people have sought immortality in ancient times, but how many of them have obtained Pure Yang?"

The blue-eyed fox laughed loudly, seeming crazy, sad, helpless, and resigned to its fate.

"Pure Yang!"

Zhang Tiansheng turned around, murmured something, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the stone door in front of him.

He knew that perhaps the clue to the Ninth Law was hidden there.

A cold wind blew, stirring up the dust, as if time that had been isolated for a thousand years was reviving again.

At the entrance, an old stone tablet came into view, with two lines of small words written on it:

A fox lights a dry lamp and is born to enter this door.

Zhang Tiansheng saw this and couldn't help but look shocked.

"True Immortal Chunyang's words came true, and he actually had insight into the secrets of future generations." Zhang Tiansheng stood in awe.

At this moment, he felt more and more that there must be clues to the Ninth Law hidden here.

He walked straight forward, and at the deepest part, an altar emerged. In front of the altar, candles were burning brightly, having lasted for thousands of years. The dim light reflected the scattered dust, forming a path of light, which set off the inscriptions on the altar with a sense of vicissitudes of time.

Zhang Tiansheng was in a trance. He had not expected that in the corner of the cave there was a stele that had stood for thousands of years, as if it was waiting for him, the destined person.

There were only four large characters engraved on the stele:
“Anyone who can see the Dharma!?” Zhang Tiansheng murmured softly.
