Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 82 Pure Yang Treasure Mirror
When the Empty Prince was illuminated by the light of the Nine-Headed Mirror, he felt as if countless insects were gnawing at his internal organs, limbs, and even the surface of his skin from head to toe!
His internal organs churned, his blood surged, and he felt an intense greed for Yang Qisheng's Thousand Swords Gourd. He also saw Xiaoqian, dressed in orange and pointing a mirror staff, and found her to be incredibly beautiful and lovely. He hated Yang Qisheng even more for killing his two junior brothers...

He was, after all, from a legitimate lineage of the Xuanmen sect, and quickly came to his senses, thinking to himself, "How powerful! I can barely suppress the Three Corpses and Nine Worms within my body!"

Knowing that if the fight continued, he would likely lose more than he would win, he frantically urged the Void Nine Swords.

He leaked the alchemy furnace, causing the alchemical energy to dissipate. Many of the Yunyang Sect's spells would be greatly weakened when used again. He figured they might be able to deal with unorthodox practitioners, but probably wouldn't be able to harm this true disciple of the Taiyi Palace.

However, his swordsmanship was still first-rate. He used the Pure Yang Sword Technique to arrange the nine flying swords into the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword Formation, and actually managed to forcefully push back against the more than one hundred flying swords of the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd!

Yang Qisheng then began to activate the Five Elements Formation he had set up in advance, drawing upon the essence of the five elements in the world for his own use.

He first used the Jiamu Escape Technique, made a hand seal, and a Qingyang Divine Talisman, more than ten feet tall, rose in the east. The talisman's light flickered, and countless rays of azure light condensed within the light, shooting towards the Void Prince.

At the same time, the Southern Fire Court Divine Talisman condensed a red sword light, the Western Sharp Light Divine Talisman condensed a white sword light, the Northern Profound Darkness Divine Talisman condensed a black sword light, and the Central Hua Peak Divine Talisman condensed a yellow sword light.

Ten thousand rays of light and ten thousand flying swords, controlled by Yang Qisheng's sword technique, surged towards the Void Prince like a school of fish in the ocean.

When Kongxu Gongzi saw this, although he could tell that Yang Qisheng's magic power was not high and the power of the sword light he condensed was limited, he still thought that such a Xuanmen aura would be useless even if he used the ghost magic he learned from his new master Cui Wushe. After all, he had already learned the skills before becoming a disciple, and his mastery of ghost magic was not as good as his two junior brothers Du Hun and Hei Xin.

He then retrieved the Pure Yang Mirror, a priceless treasure he had obtained through a combination of deception and theft when he defected from Yunyang Mountain.

This treasure is a pure silver mirror with a dragon carving on the back and the front polished to a shine that reflects one's image.

The precious mirror, suspended in the air, transformed into a full moon-like disc, radiating brilliant light and silver rays. It first shot out a beam of light that shone directly down on Yang Qisheng.

Yang Qisheng noticed something amiss, but not knowing the extent of the danger, he dared not confront it head-on. He hurriedly raised his hand and used forty-five colorful sword lights to form a sword net to meet the attack. As soon as they made contact, the sword net was melted.

Knowing the danger, he quickly used the Five Elements Escape Technique to transform into a gust of wind and teleport away.

The Empty Prince chuckled softly from the sky: "Where are you going?"

Seeing that Yang Qisheng had already used the Metal Escape Technique to hide in the wind, he pointed and released Yin-Yang Fiery Flames to burn Yang Qisheng by using fire to overcome metal, and also shone the light of the Pure Yang Mirror over.

Forced to reveal himself in mid-air, Yang Qisheng immediately descended and used the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to burrow underground.

The Void Prince used Yin-Yang Qi to draw a Wood Escape Talisman in the air, which condensed into a pillar of azure light and crashed down, using wood to overcome earth.

If Yang Qisheng's skill level is similar to his, and he doesn't have the Pure Yang Mirror, he could fight him in terms of the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Unfortunately, their magical powers were far inferior. The Pure Yang Mirror was also formidable; its light could penetrate dozens of feet into the ground. The Five Elements Escape Light burst and disappeared like soap bubbles the moment it shone on the white light.

As he dodged and weaved, he racked his brains for a solution. But the Empty Prince did not engage in a prolonged fight with him. With a clear shout, two silver dragons flew out from the mirror, shaking their heads and wagging their tails, emitting bursts of dragon roars, and pounced straight down at Yang Qisheng!
Yang Qisheng knew he couldn't continue fighting!

This mirror was far beyond his ability to handle; the silver dragon was simply unstoppable!
He acted decisively. When he realized that things were hopeless, he immediately left a magical substitute talisman on the spot, and his real body, riding the Huafeng Sword Escape Technique, traveled hundreds of miles away in an instant along the earth's veins.

During this process, the flying swords of the Myriad Swords Gourd were thrown into the ground and automatically returned to their positions, and Xiaoqian's inner demons were also withdrawn in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

The two silver dragons plunged into the ground, bursting into a burst of silver light. Soil dust flew everywhere, and even the stones melted, leaving a deep pit several feet in diameter in the spot.

"He ran pretty fast!"

The Empty Prince put away his flying sword and treasure mirror, and after gazing at the direction Yang Qisheng had fled, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not chase after him.

He knew that the Taiyi Palace's Five Elements Escape Technique was unparalleled in the world, and that by simply fleeing, it would be difficult to catch him.

Moreover, he had an enemy he needed to deal with as soon as possible. Just now, the three of them had set up an ambush and trapped the enemy. They had clearly injured the enemy when suddenly the Black-Hearted Young Master sensed that his disciple was in danger and rushed over to rescue him.

Fortunately, he had already trapped and injured his opponent. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have completely destroyed his opponent.

Unfortunately, a moment later, he sensed that one of his two junior brothers was dead and the other was injured. The Broken Heart Young Master was one thing, but the Black Heart Young Master was a disciple personally taught by his master since childhood. He had no choice but to temporarily trap his enemy in the formation and rush to his rescue.

It was too late; both of his junior brothers died tragically.

It doesn't matter that Yang Qisheng ran away; at least we now know who the enemy is.

He needs to deal with his previous enemy as soon as possible; that's much more important than Yang Qisheng!
He flew back into the sedan chair, still carried by sixteen wooden figures, and without a sound, drifted into the eastern night like a feather.

As for Yang Qisheng, he fled three or four hundred miles to the northwest before emerging from the ground.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon confirming that Young Master Kongxu was not pursuing him. He had chosen the direction of Dragon Ointment Mountain. If Young Master Kongxu continued his pursuit, he would lure the fellow back and use the earth fire formation of Dragon Ointment Mountain to deal with him, perhaps finding a way to trap and kill him!

Although he was defeated by the Void Prince, he had at least killed two of them, so his efforts weren't entirely in vain. In fact, the Void Prince's strength wasn't much beyond his expectations, and if the fight had continued, he would have had a chance to kill him.

Unfortunately, the mirror he used at the end was too powerful, and he had no way to defend himself. Even if Senior Brother Liu Hanzhang were present, the situation would probably not be much better.

Without a corresponding magic weapon, only a True Person who has refined their Golden Core could handle that thing.

Can't beat it, can't beat it.

Yang Qisheng always assesses the situation before taking action, and he only does so when he is at least 70% certain of success. He would never act rashly and recklessly, like throwing an egg against a rock.

As for the Empty Prince, he realized the absolute gap between them and had given up the idea of ​​going back to get revenge.

He planned to return to Wanliu Village first, pick up Jing Hanye and the other man, and then leave this place.

Upon returning to Wanliu Village and arriving at Jing Han's house, he was somewhat displeased to see that the father and son had not yet packed their belongings. Before he could ask, Jing Han told him, "Immortal, Immortal, we've picked up a female immortal!"

"Hmm? A female immortal?"

Jing Lei whispered from the side, "She's a fairy, not very old, and incredibly beautiful!"

Yang Qisheng followed the father and son into the main room, where a young girl was indeed lying on the bed.

She was in her early twenties, with her brows furrowed, eyes closed, cheeks flushed, hair loose, and sweat beading on her forehead and temples.

The clothes he wore were not from the mortal world, and he also had a Qiankun belt tied around his waist.

This is indeed a fairy, and she is also in the Refining Evil stage, and she is already close to the perfection. It shouldn't be long before she can establish the Cauldron and refine the Qi!

It doesn't seem to be a heretical or unorthodox practice; it appears to be a legitimate sect of Taoism.

Yang Qisheng examined her injuries and found three wounds under her ribs. Jing Lei had already applied herbs to stop the bleeding and promote tissue regeneration, but it was clear that these wounds were caused by the tail of the immortal sword. The wounds were imbued with evil energy, and ordinary herbs could not heal them.

He opened the wound, washed away the herbs with clean water, and saw that the deepest part had cut down to his ribs; the injury was quite serious.

The malevolent energy is incurable for ordinary people, but it is very easy for him.

Yang Qisheng took out the red jade gourd, aimed the mouth of the gourd at the wound, and with a little magic, sucked out all the evil energy inside.

He then took out a healing elixir, dissolved one in water and applied it to the wound, and swallowed the other.

In addition to the wound on her ribs, the girl was also cursed and could not wake up.

After examining it for a long time, Yang Qisheng initially determined that it was a curse from the ghost realm.

He opened the "Soul Ferrying Notes," quickly checked the table of contents, and compared the girl's situation with the entries in the notes. He actually found the answer:

"This seems to be the Taiyin Ghost Domain Soul Refining Technique, but the symptoms are a little different..."

After pondering for a long time, Yang Qisheng came up with a plan: to use the essence of the five elements to create five spiritual talismans to suppress the vital energy of the girl's five internal organs, and then to press a golden spiritual talisman on the girl's forehead.

Ultimately, he used the "Spiritual Treasure Protection Technique" to transfer the curse from the girl to himself.

Once the curse befalls him, he will be plunged into terrifying illusions, as if he has fallen into hell, where there are mountains of knives, boiling oil cauldrons, stone mills, and seas of fire everywhere. Ten Taiyin Ghost Talismans will also be placed on his three souls and seven spirits, which will transform into ten fanged ghost generals. They will use ten ropes to lock his body and forcibly pull him up the mountain of knives.

However, Yang Qisheng was least afraid of such illusions. He had already cut off his inner demons, which were no longer in his body, and had also eliminated the nine worms that had entered his body. Furthermore, he had used spiritual treasures and talismans to protect his three souls and seven spirits in advance, so the illusions had very little effect on him.

In the illusion, he first pointed his finger and used golden energy to transform into many flying wheels, which shredded the ten ghost generals and the mountain of knives.

Then ten more ghost generals dragged him into the oil cauldron, but he used earth energy to transform into giant rocks, which smashed the ghost generals and the oil cauldron flat.

A moment later, he broke the illusion, and the curse was broken as well, and he regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, the girl was already sitting on the bed, looking at him with a worried expression.

Seeing him wake up, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fellow Daoist broke the Soul Refining Curse of the Taiyin Ghost Path so easily, which is truly admirable. You are indeed worthy of being the highly praised disciple of Uncle Mingyi!"
