Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 97 Taiyi Golden Light Divine Mantra

The giant, 100-meter-long skeletal centipede exploded from the inside, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

This white-boned centipede has met its match; it's been completely suppressed.

The Demon-Subduing Golden Lightning swept away everything in its path, shattering all vengeful spirits and blood demons upon contact. They were completely dismembered, their white bones turning into withered skeletons that fell to the ground and were directly crushed, becoming scorched inch by inch.

Immediately, the Myriad Swords Ghost-Nourishing Gourd, which was floating in mid-air, seemed to have been severely injured. It let out a mournful cry, lost its support, and fell directly to the ground. However, Xu Changjun caught it in his palm with a wave of his hand.

After examining it carefully twice, Xu Changjun put the small gourd away.

"Although this white bone centipede is somewhat crudely crafted, this gourd is a fine treasure. Since I have a connection with this item, I won't stand on ceremony."

"My lord, I am willing to surrender..."

He watched as his opponent easily destroyed the Netherworld White Bone Sword and White Bone Centipede, which he had painstakingly trained for a hundred years and was preparing to dominate the world. In particular, the giant hand above his head was like a mountain, bringing him immense pressure.

The next second, he will perish completely under the terrifying golden lightning.

Yin Shanzi, who was already somewhat afraid of death, was terrified and immediately admitted defeat, begging to live.

A powerful figure like him has reached this point entirely because he is flexible and doesn't care about so-called backbone.

However, Xu Changjun stopped paying attention to this area and never looked at Yin Shanzi again.

He had no interest in such an old man nearing the end of his life, with his vicious nature, cruel methods, and deep cunning.

He didn't have time to linger here and waste time with the other party. Even if Yin Shanzi wanted to surrender, he would have to see if he dared to use him.

Xu Changjun's eyes shone with an eerie golden and silver light. The thirty-six crystals in his mind trembled slightly, and his spiritual power surged instantly. Throughout the entire hall, terrifying spiritual power was released in an overwhelming manner.

In an instant, Yin Shanzi was horrified to discover that under the suppression of this powerful divine soul force, he was unable to break free, while the others were even more passive.

Immediately afterward, Xu Changjun reached out and unleashed a torrent of demon-slaying golden lightning, attacking indiscriminately like a thunderous divine sword piercing through everyone's body.

Amidst screams, all the black-robed figures, including Yin Shanzi, were reduced to charred bones by the immense golden lightning.

After killing Yin Shanzi, apart from Xu Changjun, there was no other living being left in the arena.

Including Yin Shanzi's disciples and followers, all of them died under the indiscriminate attack of the Demon-Slaying Golden Thunder.

After searching his soul, Xu Changjun found nothing else. The mortal realm was extremely barren. Even with Yin Shanzi, apart from the Ten Thousand Swords Ghost-Raising Gourd, which was a decent magic weapon, he really didn't care about anything else.

Then, Xu Changjun struck with his palm, destroying the array patterns on the ground, and then entered the Dragon Tower Palace of the underground tomb.

He also wanted to see what treasures were left behind in this great tomb of cultivators from the mortal realm that Yin Shanzi had been longing for for so long.

……

"open!"

Upon entering the Dragon Tower Hall, Xu Changjun discovered that a seven-story Taoist temple stood at the very center.

This Taoist temple is entirely built of redwood. It has decayed somewhat over the years, but its surface still exudes an ancient and weathered feel. A plaque hangs above it, which reads "Golden Light Pavilion".

After surveying the surroundings, Xu Changjun did not find any key points of the formation, but the entire mahogany hall was surrounded by a swirling aura, clearly connected to the earth's veins, forming an indestructible external defense.

This is why Yin Shanzi had to master the Netherworld White Bone Sword in order to have the confidence to break into the Dragon Tower Palace and obtain the treasures inside.

Xu Changjun didn't know where the key to the formation was, and he couldn't open the underground palace with skillful force. So, just like Yin Shanzi, he simply used brute force to destroy it and forcefully open it!

Buzz!

The surrounding space trembled, and amidst the golden demon-quelling lightning, behind Xu Changjun, from the void, one after another ferocious lightning pythons slowly stretched out their heads. Each of them had a head as big as a water vat, and their ferocious appearances were quite formidable.

As thick, serpentine bodies, each a hundred meters long and imbued with terrifying lightning, slowly emerged, the space trembled, and raging winds echoed continuously deep within the Dragon Tower Palace.

As Xu Changjun's eyes shone with dazzling golden light, his spiritual power surged and his magical power surged. With a command, the ferocious nine-headed thunder pythons let out a long hiss and burst out with terrifying silver light. Their huge heads slammed down on the seven-story building in front of them.

Rumble!

The violent collision caused the surrounding mountains to shake, and the terrifying force created a huge tremor in the cave.

In an instant, flying sand and stones completely covered the area.

Xu Changjun was surrounded by calm. His powerful spiritual energy condensed in the void, as if time had stopped. Even the dust that was shaking all around him could not reach within three zhang of his body. He was suspended in the air and then repelled.

Before long, when everything had calmed down, Xu Changjun looked around and saw a large hole left at his feet. Various array runes were clearly engraved on the broken stones around him.

Unfortunately, the formation originally intended to protect the underground building from destruction was rendered ineffective by the impact of absolute power and was reduced to fragments.

"This formation is not simple. It means that there is a very thin vein of earth energy supporting it underground. Otherwise, it would never have been able to exist for so long, let alone withstand such a terrifying impact from the nine thunder pythons."

Thanks to external protection and Xu Changjun's deliberate control, although the outer defensive formation was destroyed, the dilapidated seven-story building inside remained intact.

Without any hesitation, Xu Changjun stepped out and began searching upwards along the ancient seven-story building.

The entire building was empty, arranged in a spiral shape, surrounded by various Taoist scriptures, but unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the ordinary paper used for them had all weathered away.

As Xu Changjun entered, a gust of wind blew, and it immediately turned into dust, having no value whatsoever.

Finally, when Xu Changjun found the top floor of the seven-story building, he discovered the target he had been searching for.

The seventh floor seemed to be a living room, which was empty except for a huge white jade bed, on which sat a skeleton dressed in a Taoist robe.

Clearly, too much time had passed, and the other party's flesh and blood had all turned into bones. However, unlike the skeleton one might imagine, it shimmered with golden light.

Within the enclosed, dimly lit floor, dazzling golden light continuously emanated outwards.

This strange phenomenon startled Xu Changjun. It could only mean that the other party had cultivated a unique technique in his lifetime, and that the technique was extremely advanced, penetrating into his bones. Even after so many years of oblivion, the Daoist essence still remained, flowing through his bones, which is why he could exhibit such a peculiar manifestation.

At this moment, he noticed that right in front of the skeleton was a jade slip. It looked quite old, but even after so many years, it was still as clean as new, with no signs of wear or tear.

Moreover, Xu Changjun noticed that this skeleton seemed to have countless tiny lines flowing on it, gradually changing into different shapes. When he explored it with his divine soul power, he was surprised to find that it was actually a circulation trajectory of magical power.

This appears to be a complete set of exercises.

Xu Changyun reached out and the jade tablet landed in his hand. After carefully examining it and finding no danger, Xu Changyun delved into his soul, and immediately four large, golden characters appeared in his mind.

The Taiyi Golden Light Divine Mantra!

"This is a Taoist internal cultivation technique for refining golden light, used to worship the Sun God, gather the sun's golden light, condense a golden light seed as a natal talisman, and combine it with one's innate nature to seek the wondrous path of longevity and immortality through the golden light of the Great Dao?!"

Xu Changjun examined it with some surprise, and upon seeing the opening outline, he couldn't help but start reading it aloud.
