This Dao Ancestor is too young.

Inside the courtyard, the pool water is clear, and strange rocks and artificial hills are placed everywhere, while the interior rooms are elegant.

Most importantly, there are wisps of spiritual energy in the courtyard that turn into mist.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood beside the pool, his purple robes billowing in the spiritual mist, sensing the abundant spiritual energy around him.

He gave a wry smile. This courtyard, with its rich spiritual energy, was clearly not something that could be rented for thirteen low-grade spirit stones.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

The boy took out the yellowed book from his pocket, feeling a stirring in his heart.

He knew that this book of insights about the "Nine Netherworlds Scripture" could activate supernatural powers.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzhu did not immediately use his supernatural powers, but instead opened a book and began to study it.

Time passed second by second, and the boy's eyes were filled with admiration.

The person who left behind this commentary was highly accomplished in the "Nine Netherworlds Scripture," and many of their ideas and techniques far surpassed his.

After quickly skimming through the notes, Zhang Yuanzhu no longer hesitated and murmured to himself:

A grand dream spanning a thousand autumns!

In an instant, everything around them began to darken, and the perspective shifted rapidly, revealing withered vines, corpses, and the underworld, until a Taoist priest wearing a green robe, a star-studded crown, and an ancient-looking face came into view.

The Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the deep Yellow Spring water, and spiritual energy surged down from the sky, transforming into layers of wind and waves.

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the aura emanating from the Taoist. Even though it was only a wisp, it felt like a mountain pressing down, incredibly powerful.

With a solemn expression, he slowly approached the Taoist priest, until the moment he entered the priest's body.

Boom~

A powerful, unparalleled, and indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.

His magical power surged like a mighty river, his blood and qi surged and surged, and his flesh, bones, and internal organs all emitted a pale yellow glow, like yellow jade and glass.

He felt that this body was so powerful that every move it made could destroy mountains and rivers, it was incredibly strong.

Yet this powerful Taoist was still not a Foundation Establishment cultivator; the magical power within his dantian flowed like liquid, never transforming into a spiritual platform.

At that moment, a variety of thoughts surged through the boy's mind, and then one by one they subsided.

He tried his best to sense the operation and traces of the Daoist scriptures, which was equivalent to being taught without reservation by a peak Qi Refining expert.

Every minute, every second, his understanding of the scriptures deepened, and his knowledge grew.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Click~ Click~

Space cracked open, and the entire world shattered with a deafening roar.

Looking back, Zhang Yuanzhu returned to the courtyard.

He lowered his gaze, looking at the book in his palm, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Before long, his mastery of cultivation techniques will be no less than that of a genius disciple of the Azure Sky lineage who has cultivated for decades.

Lost in thought, Zhang Yuanzhu took out a jade slip containing sword techniques from his bosom, preparing to study it.

Suddenly, the boy paused slightly, stood up, and looked out into the courtyard, his eyes cold:

"court death!"

Before anyone knew it, wisps of mist appeared outside the courtyard, enveloping the array and constantly corroding it with a hissing sound.

The array flickered and gradually dimmed.

A creature has violated the rules of Linhai City and is attacking him.

With a thought, the golden bell at the boy's waist rose and hovered above his head.

Zhang Yuanzhu stepped out of the formation and stood in the mist, the golden bell swaying.

thump~

As the bell rang, the street cracked open, the fog exploded, and a dark figure staggered backward, splattering blood.

It was a shrimp demon with a crimson carapace, a tall beast-like body, a shrimp head, and horizontally positioned eyes.

Before the shrimp demon could react, a fair, jade-like hand grew larger and larger in its eyes until it took over the entire area.

bang~

The shrimp's head was broken, and a corpse collapsed, lifeless.

He acted decisively and resolutely, without the slightest hesitation or inquiry into the reasons for his opponent's actions.

"How dare you do this? These are merely demon soldiers from the Twin Dragon Palace hunting for food, yet you have killed them directly. This will surely bring great disaster."

Panic-stricken voices came from not far away.

At first glance, it was an old man dozing in the shop in the early morning.

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips curled into a smile as he slowly uttered a few words:

"Ped bugs in the sewers."

As he stepped forward, rays of moonlight descended from the sky, covering his figure and draping the boy in a silver veil.

A golden bell hangs atop his head, his black hair dances in the wind, and an indescribable aura rises up.

At this moment, the old man could no longer care about the fallen shrimp soldiers. His eyes were fixed on the boy, and his Qi Refining Level 3 magic power was running wildly, with rays of earthy yellow light emanating from his body.

These layers of light flowed outwards like ripples, causing the air to roar and the streets to crumble.

"Fellow Daoist, fighting is forbidden in Linhai City, I..."

Zhang Yuanzhu lightly gripped the sword hilt, and a sky-blue radiance, moonlight, and vital energy spread downwards from his palm.

His face was beaming with a smile. He ignored the old man's words and leaned slightly forward.

Raise your arm, draw your sword!

Bang~

The sword light was dazzling, and the sword energy was sharp. In an instant, it swept across dozens of feet and struck the old man.

Thud~ Sizzle~

The earthen-yellow ripples tore apart, an arm fell, and the old man staggered backward.

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned slightly. This sword strike was meant to kill the old man, but at the crucial moment, it was slightly deflected by the halo formed by the earth-yellow magic power.

"Interesting spell."

The boy's laughter echoed through the streets along with the clanging of swords. He took a step forward and slashed out with his magic sword once more.

roar~

Tiger, eagle, swallow, golden snake... six wild beasts leaped out from the sword light, roaring and howling, trying their best to push the sword forward.

The sword light was unparalleled, like a surging river, instantly engulfing the enemy.

The earthen-yellow glow and the old man vanished, leaving only the dazzling sword light, leaving sword marks on the earth.

After an unknown amount of time, the sword light dissipated, leaving only a figure in a purple robe standing on the street, sword in hand.

The young man leisurely walked forward, first collecting the corpses of the shrimp soldiers, and then came to the place where the old man had died, where a storage bag inlaid with gold thread lay on the ground.

With a thought, the azure light reversed, and the storage bag was already in his palm.

Only then did the boy look up, gazing at the figures rushing towards him at the end of the street, and at the rainbow streaking across the night sky.

One by one, cultivators clad in jet-black armor and exuding an air of refinement gathered and stood not far away, coldly watching the purple-clad youth.

The atmosphere was quiet and oppressive.

As a rainbow of light descended, the armored soldiers stepped forward one by one to pay their respects.

"Captain, this is the man who made the move in the city. The other party should have already been killed."

The rainbow light faded, revealing a woman who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with a faint blush like peach blossoms in early spring, and her eyes were bright and lively, as if they contained thousands of stars, shining with a captivating brilliance.

The woman turned to the side, her gaze falling upon him.

Boom~

Like a mountain collapsing or a sea overflowing, an unparalleled pressure filled the boy's body.

"The Divine Arrest Bureau has rules prohibiting fighting within the city. Why are you violating these rules?"

Zhang Yuanzhu lightly tapped the hilt of the sword with his fingertips.

hum~

A sword rang out, followed by a burst of sword intent that pierced through the oppressive aura.

Zhang Yuanzhu faced the woman directly, his voice calm and unhurried:

"Thieves colluded with demons to attack and kill me. I should fight back and exterminate them all."
