From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 266 Nine Heavens Curtain
"boom!"

Chen Xiujie took just one step, and in an instant, his aura changed.

He was like a blazing, inextinguishable furnace, his astonishing aura and heat radiating in all directions. His body, which had been as restrained as a black hole, concealing all its energy, was now releasing it recklessly.

"As expected of one of the most outstanding talents in the immortal sects, none of them are simple characters."

Although You Ming had already caused several of the Twelve Immortals to suffer losses, he had to admit that none of those who could become protagonists of the Immortal Path were easy to deal with.

Both in terms of cultivation level and fortune, they are far superior to ordinary cultivators.

"Huh."

Chen Xiujie's five-colored robe seemed to turn into flames, and a thunderous sound came from his body. Then, a crimson-gold flame suddenly tore through the sky, like the sun falling to earth.

A vast and boundless phantom of a furnace surrounded his body, its mouth wide open, flames blazing like dragons, rising into the sky.

"Boom."

With overwhelming power, he shattered the nine layers of heaven in an instant, and then his figure turned into a point of light and disappeared into the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai].

His move naturally attracted the attention of countless people and secretly alarmed many others.

Of course, some high-ranking members of the immortal sects recognized Chen Xiujie's identity.

This direct disciple from the Great Wilderness Furnace Sect has always been very mysterious and has almost no contact with other sects.

All that is known is that this child not only inherited the weapon-refining tradition of his sect, but also cultivated a part of the [Great Wilderness Furnace Scripture], and his talent is terrifying.

It should be understood that no ordinary cultivator can comprehend any [Scripture]-level Dharma. Even many cultivators who have just entered the upper three levels may not have the opportunity or aptitude to do so.

"So, the assessment has already begun?"

You Ming still remembered Chen Xiujie's instructions, and couldn't help but feel eager to try.

However, before that, several other geniuses in the Immortal Sect had already broken through the barrier by force, and their speed was no slower than Chen Xiujie's.

He even saw Meng Xingyun, who had inherited the [Pansui Tianfu] technique.

However, compared to two years ago, Meng Xingyun's aura was much stronger, clearly indicating that he had gained great benefits from Tianfu.

Indeed, the Heavenly Palace is said to have been created by eight immortals, and the countless inheritances within it are probably more terrifying than the wealth of many immortal sects.

"Chen Xiujie broke through the nine barriers and had about three breaths of time."

"That Meng Xingyun took three and a half breaths."

"There was also a young cultivator I didn't recognize who only used two breaths."

"Then I'll see if I can be a little faster than them."

You Ming had always focused on his cultivation in Bingzhou and had almost no opportunity to compete with other cultivators of his age. At this moment, however, he felt a surge of competitive spirit.

You Ming stood with his hands behind his back, a mark quietly appearing between his brows, its silver light intertwining like stars.

In his gaze, everything in the world began to fade in an instant.

It then continued to degenerate, becoming a network of intersecting lines.

These lines kept breaking apart, becoming individual nodes.

The entire world is composed of countless nodes. You Ming is like a chess player; he can manipulate these nodes to achieve various forms of powerful destruction.

The supernatural power [Severing Source Seal] is the purest form of killing supernatural power.

“Cut off its source, block its flow, and cut off its continuation.”

You Ming gently pointed, and a small mark hovered at his fingertip, but in the very center of that mark, thousands of divine runes seemed to be interwoven.

He pressed down lightly in the air, without the slightest roar, without any violent fluctuations of magic, and without even the slightest ripple of spiritual energy.

But the moment the [Severing Source Seal] fell, all nine layers of protection of the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai] paused.

Then, these barriers collapsed almost simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, all nine layers of barriers collapsed.

You Ming's figure flickered, and with the activation of [He Transforms Freely], he was unrestrained by heaven and earth, and in an instant, he stepped into the [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai].

His attempt to pass the test was much less dramatic than the others; in fact, many people didn't even notice that someone had already gone in.

But many people who had been paying attention to You Ming were greatly surprised, even more so than when they saw Chen Xiujie pass the test.

Compared to Chen Xiujie's mystique, You Ming's reputation in the cultivation world is extremely high, and it is rumored that he has snatched the opportunities from several of the Twelve Immortals.

But ironically, if you ask this famous demon cultivator about his specific methods or cultivation techniques, no one can answer.

Today, seeing him suddenly unleash his methods, which seemed incredibly domineering and fierce, naturally made many people's hearts sink.

……

The moment You Ming entered, he secretly recited an incantation as Chen Xiujie had instructed:

"The vast emptiness is without shadow, the clear mirror is without dust; when a single thought arises, all phenomena become real. Moonlight guides, shadows connect with the divine; form is hidden in illusion, nature reflects its root..."

The [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai] was like another world. When You Ming entered it, he even felt the power of spatial teleportation.

But as he chanted, his soul trembled slightly, as if it had a connection with the Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai that was about to descend in the distance.

At the same time, the surrounding spatial forces contracted, and a bright moon mark slowly appeared between his eyebrows.

This mark was almost impossible to detect, but it suddenly made You Ming's connection with the entire [Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai] much clearer.

The scenery around You Ming changed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a vast mirror platform.

His body was reflected in the dressing table, and his toes touched the surface, creating ripples that quickly subsided.

Looking up, the mirror platform stretched as far as the eye could see, with only a few small black dots suspended above it, which must have been a few cultivators who had entered before him.

A huge halo, like a star, hovered above their heads, and with each rotation, they could feel its immense power.

There is no wind or gravity in the world of 【Tai Xu Qing Jing Tai】.

However, when one is in the mirror, one feels inexplicably irritable, especially when one sees one's own reflection so clearly on the mirror, which makes one feel disgusted.

It's as if that clearly visible figure is a mixture of chaotic emotions and thoughts, even a reflection of the ugliest side of one's own heart, making it hard to accept.

You Ming quickly realized something was wrong. He quickly calmed his mind, kept his will still, and gently circulated the [Breaking Illusion Sword Chapter] to gradually wear away his anxiety and evil thoughts. Otherwise, these emotions would be reflected in the same way, like a snowball rolling downhill, making him and the reflected shadow more and more disgusted, eventually giving rise to endless inner demons.
