The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

Deep within the crack, the outline of a palace of bones could be vaguely seen. The palace gates slowly opened, and a figure emerged from them.

It was an old man dressed in black robes, his face withered like a skeleton, with eerie green flames flickering in his eye sockets. In his hand he held a white bone scepter, with a blood-red skull embedded at the top.

"Lord of the Underworld... Bone Ghost."

Chen Xuan said calmly, "After all these years, you're still the same inhuman creature."

Gu You grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth: "Prime Minister Chen, you're still as arrogant as ever."

He stepped out of the crevice and landed on the Kunlun ground.

The ground beneath their feet instantly turned into scorched earth, and deathly energy spread, turning the area within a ten-mile radius into a dead zone!

Yu Xuzi gritted his teeth: "Gu You! How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​Kunlun!"

Gu You glanced at him: "Little Taoist, you weren't even born when I was discussing the Dao with your grandmaster."

"Get out of my way! I'm here today only for Chancellor Chen."

He looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes flickering with ghostly fire:

"Prime Minister Chen, you have ruined my grand plan, severed my clone, and forced me to flee into the Netherworld."

"I've been wanting to take revenge on you for a long time."

Chen Xuan calmly said, "So you've come here to die?"

"Sending them to their deaths?"

Gu You laughed loudly, "You think I'm still the same avatar from three hundred years ago? My true form has arrived, and my cultivation has reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator erupted! It was several times stronger than Li Youming's!

Yu Xuzi and the others were forced to their knees, unable to even lift their heads!

Only Chen Xuan remained standing.

He looked at Gu You and suddenly smiled:

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul?"

"Alright."

"Perfect timing to try out... a new supernatural technique I've just mastered."

He raised his hands and formed a mudra.

This time, it's not about heaven and earth, yin and yang, or the five elements.

Instead... four seals combined into one!

"Heaven and Earth Seal - Creation of Heaven!"

Qian and Kun are the foundation, Yin and Yang are the guide, the Five Elements are the force, and Heaven and Earth are the seal!

The spiritual energy from all directions converged wildly, condensing into a colossal seal ten thousand feet tall above Chen Xuan's head!

Printed with the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, yin and yang, the five elements... it's like a complete little world!

This is the supreme divine power that Chen Xuan created after three hundred years of travel and contemplation of the origin of heaven and earth—the Seal of Heaven and Earth!

The moment it was printed, the world changed color!

Gu You's expression changed drastically: "This is a creation divine power?! You've actually touched the edge of creation?!"

He dared not delay and activated the Bone Scepter with all his might!

"All ghosts pay homage, the Yellow Springs open!"

The blood-red skull at the top of the scepter exploded, transforming into a murky Yellow Spring!

From the underworld, countless vengeful ghosts roared and crawled out, rushing towards the Heaven and Earth Seal!

The Yellow Springs face Heaven and Earth!

Ghost Realm versus Creation!

This strike will decide...

Who is the real...?

Supreme!

Behind Kunlun Mountain, in front of the forbidden area's fissure.

The Heaven and Earth Seal hangs in the sky, like a small world descending. The illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars flow, the outlines of mountains and rivers are clearly defined, and the Yin and Yang energies transform into a Tai Chi diagram that slowly rotates, with the spiritual light of the Five Elements constantly regenerating.

The mere pressure was enough to make the Kunlun Mountains tremble and all beasts lie dormant.

Gu You gazed up at the colossal seal, its immense size unseen, while the ghostly flames beneath its withered skin leaped wildly.

The white bone scepter in his hand hummed, though the blood-red skull at its top had already shattered.

But the gushing torrents of the Yellow Springs surged even more violently, transforming into a turbid river that stretched across the void.

In the Yellow Springs, countless vengeful ghosts struggled and roared. They were either incomplete or had ferocious faces. They were all the souls of cultivators who had been refined by the Bone Nether over the past three hundred years.

Summoned by the Yellow Springs, they all crawled out of the river and swarmed toward the Seal of Heaven and Earth.

"Prime Minister Chen! Although your Heaven and Earth Seal is powerful, my Yellow Springs is formed from the origin of the Netherworld, empowered by countless ghosts, and can defile all spiritual beings!"

Bone Ghost roared with hoarse laughter, "Today I will bury your world-creating divine power in the Yellow Springs!"

Before the words were finished, the turbid flow of the Yellow Springs had already crashed into the bottom of the Heaven and Earth Seal.

"laugh!!!"

A piercing corrosive sound rang out, and the illusory images of mountains and rivers at the bottom of the Heaven and Earth Seal began to dissolve!

The deathly aura of the underworld spread like poison, dimming the spiritual light and dissipating the illusory images wherever it passed!

Yu Xuzi's face turned deathly pale: "This is bad! The death energy of the Yellow Springs is particularly effective against spiritual objects. Although the Holy Master's Heaven and Earth Seal is powerful, it is ultimately condensed from spiritual energy..."

The cultivators below the stage also changed color.

They had assumed that the Holy Master's terrifying divine power would crush Bone Nether.

But now it seems... the Lord of the Netherworld Palace truly lives up to his reputation as an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years; his methods are unpredictable and bizarre!

Chen Xuan remained calm.

He watched as the Yellow Springs corroded the Heaven and Earth Seal, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes:

"So that's how it is... polluting spiritual energy with the death energy of the underworld, and then eroding the soul with the resentment of countless ghosts. Bone Ghost, you haven't lived these three hundred years in vain."

Gu You laughed triumphantly: "Now you know fear? Too late! Yellow Springs, drown him!"

The turbid currents of the Yellow Springs surged, sweeping up like a tsunami, instantly submerging the lower half of the Heaven and Earth Seal!

Countless vengeful spirits clung to the seal, tearing and gnawing at it, causing the light of the Heaven and Earth Seal to dim at a visible speed!

"Holy Master!" Yu Xuzi was extremely anxious.

Chen Xuan suddenly laughed.

"Bone Demon, do you know what heaven and earth are?"

He raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

The Heaven and Earth Seal, which had been submerged in the Yellow Springs and devoured by countless ghosts, suddenly stopped disintegrating.

Not only that--

The illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars imprinted on his body began to rotate in reverse!

The outlines of mountains and rivers have been re-formed!

The Yin-Yang symbol burst forth with dazzling light!

The five elements of spiritual light transformed into five-colored chains, binding the clinging evil spirits!

"What?!"

Gu You's pupils constricted sharply. "This is impossible! The deathly aura of the Yellow Springs has already invaded the seal's body, how could it possibly..."

"Because this is not formed from spiritual energy."

Chen Xuan's voice was calm, yet it exploded like thunder:

"This is... a manifestation of the laws."

"The Seal of Heaven and Earth is not a spiritual seal, but a seal of the Dao."

"Based on the principles of Heaven and Earth, the order of space is established."

"Using Yin and Yang as a guide, one can control the flow of time."

"Using the five elements as power, one can control the changes of all things."

"at last......"

He clenched his five fingers together:

"With heaven and earth as the seal... Open!"

"boom!!!"

The Seal of Heaven and Earth suddenly shattered!

But it's not a collapse, it's a decomposition!

The illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars transformed into countless points of light, merging into the sky!

The outlines of mountains and rivers sink into the earth! The Yin-Yang symbol splits in two, encompassing heaven and earth!

The spiritual light of the Five Elements spreads in all directions, nourishing all things!

At this moment, the area within a hundred miles seemed to have truly transformed into a separate little world!

The turbid flow of the underworld and the resentment of countless ghosts are quickly diluted and purified in this "small world," just like ink dripped into clear water!

"No--!!!"

Gu You shrieked, "You actually used supernatural powers to create a small world?! That's impossible! That's a technique only those at the Nascent Soul stage can use!"

Chen Xuan stepped forward, standing in the center of this small world, like a creator god:

"Transformation into a Nascent Soul? That's just the beginning."

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the Yellow Springs.

"Returning to the source of the Yellow Springs".

As soon as those five words were uttered, the torrent of the Yellow Springs began to flow backward!

Countless vengeful ghosts were forcibly pulled back into the river, and the turbid currents of the Yellow Springs converged from all directions, eventually condensing into a drop of pitch-black water that floated in Chen Xuan's palm.

That is the origin of the Yellow Springs.

Gu You trembled violently, the ghostly fire in his eyes almost extinguished: "You...you stole my Yellow Springs Source?!"
