Chapter 673: Yin and Yang Transformation into Void and Return to Infant Qi
Ten days passed quickly, and when the sun rose, thousands of monks arrived at the platform on time.

The first match was between Xuan Ji and Ye Qingren.

Elder Qin didn't waste any words. After the two of them nodded in succession, he immediately announced the start.

If he wins this battle, he can secure the "second incense stick" for his master. One can imagine the pressure Xuan Ji is under.

Fortunately, he is mature and experienced in fighting, which does not affect his combat effectiveness.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, be careful!"

Xuanji Cang shouted loudly, and his spiritual energy surged.

The thousands of feet of flaming clouds condensed into a sky curtain, and it actually chose to directly use its power to suppress others, not giving Ye Qingren a chance to resist.

Ye Qingren looked calm on the surface, but he was actually already extremely alert in his heart. Seeing this, he suddenly raised his hands, and a yin-yang fish pattern shot up into the sky, gathering all the fiery clouds.

He kept moving, making hand gestures with his hands, releasing spells to attack Xuan Ji, while he also skillfully took out a pot, pulled out the stopper, and poured it downwards.

Suddenly, billowing black smoke gushed out from the mouth of the pot, and in the smoke, the figures of countless armored Taoist soldiers could be vaguely seen.

The Black and White Taoist Soldiers are a kind of puppetry unique to the Black and White Taoist Palace. The strength of a single one is only at the Foundation Establishment level, but once they are numbered in the tens of thousands, they can form a large formation with infinite power. Even Nascent Soul cultivators may not be able to break out of the formation.

The series of responses made everyone exclaim in surprise. Only then did they realize that although Ye Qingren had performed mediocrely in the previous battles, it was not because he did not have strong methods, but because he did not need to use strong methods...

Xuan Ji also frowned secretly. Judging from his opponent's decisiveness, he knew that he had been thinking about how to deal with his Fire Sky Curtain for a long time.

If he wants to win again using this method, I'm afraid his chances are slim...

Thinking of this, he simply stopped supporting the skylight and changed his method.

Ye Qingren has a solution, doesn’t he have one?

The next moment, the fire subsided and a black jade shuttle slowly flew up.

This is the Taoist shuttle that can break the formation, specially designed for the black and white Taoist soldiers!

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the earth became gloomy. Countless soldiers in armor disappeared into the black fog, all holding high their banners.

There was a sudden tremor between heaven and earth, like ripples on water. It seemed that nothing had changed, but in fact, the formation had been completed.

Xuan Ji suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure coming, and the light of his protective treasure flickered, obviously he was under pressure from the formation.

He didn't dare to delay and immediately drove the Xuanyu Dao Shuttle forward. Due to its extremely fast speed, it even made a sharp cry.

The Taoist shuttle suddenly crashed into the empty sky, like a thunderbolt in the air, and a round light shield immediately appeared.

Dao Shuttle gathered strength and rushed forward again. This time, it actually created a big hole!
The black and white Taoist soldiers were struck by lightning and suffered many casualties immediately.

Xuan Ji was delighted and urged the Taoist shuttle to break the formation.

But Ye Qingren ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Ji felt that something was wrong and wanted to turn around to attack the opponent, but the Taoist soldiers blocked him and he could not make contact for a while.

He was very experienced and knew that he must not hesitate at this moment. Since he couldn't attack the enemy, he might as well break through the formation in one go.

In this way, even if Ye Qingren has a backup plan, he can deal with it calmly.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and the Xuanyu Dao Shuttle shone brightly, breaking the formation into pieces.

At this moment, Ye Qingren suddenly shouted loudly, and his natal infant jumped out from the top of his head, rising above the sky, but bordering the Yin-Yang fish picture he had just held up.

"This is……"

Everyone frowned, somewhat confused about what he would do next.

Only a few late-stage cultivators like Luo Zhen had their eyes flash and exclaimed, "Yin Yang Transformed into Void and Returned to Infant Qi?"

Suddenly, the Yin-Yang fish image rapidly dissipated, and under the pull of the Nascent Soul, it turned into an inconspicuous gray smoke...

Chen Mu's heart was beating fast. Although he didn't know this method, he still felt an inexplicable pressure.

Xuan Ji was very old, so he naturally knew this method. Looking at the gray smoke slowly drifting over, he didn't have time to think, and hurriedly made hand gestures and threw out a series of Taoist spells in an attempt to stop it.

However, despite the roar of spiritual energy, the smoke remained unmoved, as if it were a phantom. The next moment, the smoke enveloped his entire body, and Xuan Ji felt as if the protective aura had been rendered useless, allowing the smoke to penetrate him.

Suddenly, he had a strange feeling, as if he was getting younger...

He raised his hand and looked, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

That wasn't an illusion. His originally old and dry skin was rapidly becoming brighter and more plump, and his slightly hunched body was gradually straightening...

"This……"

An ordinary person would not be able to tell whether such a miraculous sight was good or bad, but he knew that the scene before his eyes was achieved at the cost of his remaining lifespan...

"My life span is already short, you are so cruel!"

Xuan Ji couldn't help but curse after being hit in the sore spot. Then, without wasting a moment, he shouted loudly, "I admit defeat. Quickly disband this technique!"

Ye Qingren laughed out loud upon hearing this, and immediately waved his hand to disperse the smoke. Without the smoke surrounding him, Xuan Ji immediately returned to its original appearance.

If you look closely, you can tell... that he seems a little older now than when he first started...

Xuan Ji's face was gloomy and he cursed in his heart.

In just a few short breaths, he lost nearly ten years of his life!
This loss is nothing for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but for an old cultivator like him, it is life-threatening.

Seeing this, Ye Qingren quickly apologized: "Brother, please don't blame me. It's really because your magic is so superb that I have no way to resist it. I can only use this method..."

After saying that, he took out an emerald green pill, flicked his fingers, and handed it to Xuanji.

"This is a longevity pill that is effective for Nascent Soul cultivators like us. Taking it can add twenty years to your lifespan. I hope you will accept it."

The series of actions were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that they had been prepared long ago...

Seeing this situation, Xuan Ji knew that he had been thoroughly studied by Ye Qingren, and since he had mastered such methods, his loss was not unfair.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed, his expression softening slightly as he said, "Since fellow Daoist has said so, how could I be such an ungrateful person?"

He accepted the longevity pill and then asked, "But I don't know when did you cultivate the Yin-Yang Transformation and Return to Infancy Qi?"

The transformation of Yin and Yang into emptiness and return to the true Qi of infancy is a little-known Taoist art of the Black and White Taoist Palace.

This Taoist technique creates the appearance of yin and yang, and manifests itself in the state of life and death. Once performed, true energy surrounds it, and it can use the enemy's lifespan as fuel, burning the void and returning to infancy. It is extremely mysterious.

If there is no way to deal with it, then your lifespan will be burned out and you will die...

The reason why there are not many rumors about this technique is that it is extremely difficult to practice. Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivators, even the God Transformation True Lords are not sure that they can succeed in practicing it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingren actually succeeded in his cultivation. Although it took quite a while to use it, at least he was able to display it...

Not only Xuan Ji was curious, even True Lord Han Yuan looked at him with raised eyebrows, not to mention the other peripheral cultivators. Those who knew this technique were concentrating their attention to investigate, while those who were not familiar with this technique were all frowning, with curiosity as if there were cat claws scratching their hearts.

But Ye Qingren seemed unwilling to say more, and only chuckled and replied: "It was just luck..."

Seeing him like this, Xuan Ji did not ask any further questions. He sighed, bowed to Master Han Yuan, and turned to leave.

After returning to Chen Mu and the others, Fang whispered, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I'm afraid of death and dare not fight with them."

There is another way to break the Yin-Yang Transformation and Return to Infancy Qi, that is to kill the person who casts the spell before he dies, or force him to disperse the spell.

However, this would definitely take a lot of time. If Xuan Ji chose this method, even if he could win in the end, he would die due to exhaustion...

Luo Zhen and the others knew this very well, so they had no intention of making fun of him. They said solemnly, "Brother, you are joking. This is not your fault."

Xuan Ji sighed when he heard this, closed his eyes and said no more.

At this time, Ye Qingren also left the platform. As usual, Elder Qin said a few words and then invited Ao Yin and Wei Chu to go up to the stage.

Now there are only two fights left to decide the winner, and Xuan Ji's fight ended quite quickly.

According to past practice, if this battle can end quickly, then the winner may be decided today!
