Chapter 28 Ancient Yin Thoughts
"This is making things incredibly difficult for us."
,
Xiong Zhou stared silently at the words formed by piles of corpse ashes on the ground.
Xiong Zhou never doubted the Tai Li Immortal Sect's ability to provide a safety net; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to directly engage in cross-dimensional activities of unknown distances while still within Chenming Mountain after obtaining the [Gate to Another World].
Xiong Zhou was absolutely certain that after becoming a true disciple of Tai Li, the many immortals and true immortals of the sect would be able to reach out and pull him back from the brink of death before he was completely wiped out.
Similarly, he never worried about encountering any real life-threatening danger or suffering irreparable damage within the Azure Sky Realm.
Those senior brothers who wrote the scripts must have reached out and deduced the secrets of heaven after encountering this world, and figured out everything about it.
So, here's the problem.
Since all dangers are within our control, it is equivalent to no danger at all.
These things will then rightfully become the terrifying trials that will inevitably be encountered in this ranking of true disciples, potentially causing even a first-level Tai Li true disciple to constantly teeter on the brink of life and death, but without completely extinguishing them.
Inequality solved instantly.
"well.
,
Xiong Zhou sighed like an old man, as if he could already see a bleak and indescribable future.
Zixuan walked over, piled up a clod of earth, stood on tiptoe, and patted Xiong Zhou on the shoulder.
She said, "Junior Brother Xiong Zhou, the third quest has appeared. We should explore further and find out the source of the death and the corpses."
"The mission is somewhat difficult, but haven't we already made preparations?"
Zixuan remained calm, jumped off the pile of earth, and took a few steps forward.
She continued, "Even if the third mission fails, with the things Junior Brother Xiong Zhou did before as a foundation, and the difficulty of the mission in the Azure Sky Realm, the overall performance of the Mountain and River Team in this True Disciple Ranking Competition will definitely not be so bad as to be at the bottom in the evaluation of Tai Li Tianwang."
"Our Mountain and River Squad cleared out most of the ancient battlefield and also collected an ancient bloodline resource. Even if we withdraw from the Azure Sky Realm now and no longer participate in the ongoing True Disciple Ranking Competition, according to my estimate, we may still be ranked in the middle of the True Disciple Ranking when the final results are settled."
"The current results have met my previous expectations. Next, the third task, no matter how well it is completed, will be an unexpected surprise."
Zixuan walked to Wu Kang's side, winked at Xiong Zhou, and showed an indescribable mischievousness, as well as an unspeakable...relaxation.
Xiong Zhou slapped his forehead slightly, looking somewhat dazed.
He murmured to himself, "That's right, my original goal was not to be at the bottom of this ranking of true disciples. Now that I've achieved that goal, why should I be frowning?"
,
"If the third task fails, then so be it. Just consider it a cross-border trip."
Xiong Zhou patted the dust off the earthen armor, making a few crisp clanging sounds. A smile appeared on his face. He had completely calmed down, and the invisible pressure instantly dissipated.
Indeed, all the troubles and anxieties were self-inflicted.
Once you learn to lie flat, all these messy things will stay away.
And coincidentally, he has reliable parents and the means to lie down and relax.
He slung the heavy earth and wood sword over his shoulder and said with a smile, "Then, let's go deep into the earth now and see what interesting plot our senior brothers from beyond the heavens have prepared for us."
It is located about 50,000 miles away from this deep pit.
The army commander held a porcelain bowl in his hand, looking at the large, angular flatbread inside, and his eyelids twitched.
"How does cooking turn wheat into this?"
"After the wheat is ground, it can still be baked into such a angular pancake?"
The army commander reached out and picked up the large flatbread, tossed it around, and the clinking sound made his eyelids twitch again.
The officer coughed softly and said, "Sir, the cooks have already ground all the angular wheat that the commander gave us into powder."
"The kneading process was also perfectly normal, without any problems whatsoever."
"However, once the pancake is baked, it is lifted with tongs and taken out of the oven, and its angular shape appears automatically."
The army commander didn't frown; he put the large pancake to his lips and bit it with his teeth.
"Click...click..."
'
The bread is roasted until crisp, and the first bite is filled with the aroma of wheat. The distinct ridges soften when they come into contact with saliva, creating a very layered texture.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
'
The army commander's throat moved, and he swallowed, swallowing a large, fragrant pancake.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, while his pupils dilated slightly.
He could feel a special warm current slowly rising in his stomach and intestines, gradually spreading from his body to his entire body, as if every pore was being gently caressed by a hand.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that an extremely pure wisp of heaven and earth surged into the bloodline from an unknown place, allowing the blood and qi, which had been in constant turmoil and fighting against death qi and corpse qi, to relax slightly.
The officer noticed the change in the commander's expression; his lips parted, and his face showed a complex mix of emotions.
This extremely risky task should have been undertaken by him, a military officer, but now, the army commander, the highest-ranking officer in the entire army, has taken on this responsibility in his place.
The officer's lips twitched, and he asked in a low voice, "Father, how are you now?"
The army commander's expression tightened, and he waved his hand, "In the army, you are addressed by your rank!"
""
"Also, I'm fine, nothing's wrong."
"No, I should say, I haven't felt this good in a very, very long time."
The army commander swallowed the large, angular flatbread in his hand, bite by bite, then sat cross-legged on the spot and began to fully circulate his internal energy.
A few breaths later, he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, filled with death energy and corpse energy, which corroded the ground and made it creak.
The officer's eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice, "Commander, what is this...?"
'
The corps commander reached out and touched his chest, coughed several times, and spat out several streams of blood mixed with the blood of the dead and corpses, staining the ground beneath his feet red.
"The chronic ailments I developed during my years of military campaigns have improved somewhat in terms of blood and qi circulation."
"I have already cultivated to the point of immortality, and this thing is still of some help to me; it can already be called a rare and precious treasure."
The corps commander looked at the military officer, then at the pixelated land and the well-grown pixelated wheat, with a hint of amazement.
"Furthermore, given its short maturation period, it could be considered a national treasure."
The officer's expression changed. He pointed at the pixelated wheat and loudly questioned, "You're saying this is... a national treasure?"
"Isn't this something brought by extraterrestrial demons?"
'
"How can this be called a national treasure?!"
'
The corps commander's gaze sharpened slightly as he glanced at the military officer.
The officer fell silent the next moment, unable to utter the rebuttal he had prepared in his mind.
The corps commander walked past the officer, reached into the well-grown pixelated wheat, and gently folded it.
"Splash..."
""
A handful of pixelated wheat fell, along with two thumb-sized pixelsated wheat seeds.
The commander's pupils contracted again. He followed the laws of heaven and earth and glimpsed some information that he found unbelievable, while also confirming some extremely terrifying news.
He remained silent for a while, then picked up two pixelated wheat seeds, pressing one into the pixelated soil and the other into the ordinary earth.
At this moment, the military officer stood aside, looking at the army commander who had squatted down and was looking at the land, and asked softly, "What are you trying to do?"
""
The corps commander remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on the land where two identical pixel seeds had been planted, his eyes seemingly gleaming with light.
He seemed to be anticipating something.
The commander didn't have to wait long. After only thirty breaths, the pixelated land changed, and a tender, angular seedling sprouted.
Two minutes later, the normal land where the pixelated wheat was planted began to pixelate.
Five minutes later, the land was completely pixelated, turning into a block of dirt.
Ten minutes later, a tender green seedling with distinct edges sprouted from the newly formed mound of earth.
Thirty minutes later, the two pixelated wheat plants blossomed, bore fruit, and matured completely, emitting a faint wheat aroma.
The army commander reached out and broke off the two wheat stalks again.
"Splash... splash..."
""
Two sounds like leaves breaking rang out, and two handfuls of wheat appeared in the commander's hands. Four pixelated wheat seeds, following certain special rules and order, fell onto two earthen blocks.
The officer calculated the time, his face filled with horror. "This...this quickly, it's ripe in less than half an hour."
'
"Unless we use some special secret technique, wouldn't it take at least three months for this kind of staple food to mature?!"
'
"This maturity rate is too fast!"
Although the army commander had anticipated this, the unique nature of this pixelated wheat still surprised him.
After a few breaths, he reached out and picked up two wheat seeds, then stuffed the two handfuls of wheat and one wheat seed into the officer's hand.
"With a grain-forming speed of less than half an hour in three months, it almost ignores the influence of death energy and corpse energy. After maturity, it can also play a certain nourishing role for those in the realm of immortality."
"This is an extremely special thing that can reproduce rapidly, enabling many commoners of Xiaochang Kingdom to no longer go hungry, and even allowing the monarch to have a full meal... a national treasure."
,
The officer, holding pixelated wheat and pixelated seeds, no longer argued with the commander.
After the explanation, the function of these things became completely clear.
The commander took out half of the tiger tally from his pocket, hung it in the officer's hand, and said, "Take my order and go to the camp to find the cavalry of the A-class unit. Take what you have and escort it back to the country at full speed to present it to the emperor."
The officer looked surprised and asked, "And what about you?"
'
"Should we lead the army further into this dangerous territory?"
The corps commander did not answer, but looked at the officer and said in a firm tone, "I am the corps commander, officer, go and carry out the order immediately!"
The officer bit his lip, gave a salute, and answered loudly, "Yes, sir!"
'
"tread."
"tread."
"tread.
""
A slightly heavy footstep echoed within the bronze palace, reverberating through every bronze sculpture.
Chen Fan looked at the skeletons, the rotten fragments of weapons, and the nearly collapsed walls bearing terrifying traces of law before him, his expression unusually vigilant.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked ahead.
There was a thick gate with the characters "Yin" and "Yang" inscribed in Taoist script, resembling the tangible manifestation of the two polarities.
"boom!
'
The Daoist script characters for "Yin" and "Yang" began to vibrate, opening two different doors.
A sense of familiarity, which surprised Chen Fan, emanated silently from the two doors, stirring a peculiar tremor in his Undying Holy Body's blood. It was like a sudden impulse, yet also like a celestial warning.
"Strange Taoist script, strange door."
""
"This special charm is almost identical to the Daoist texts written by the immortals of the sect."
,
"Was this written by a being who could be revered as a terrestrial deity?"
Chen Fan muttered to himself, looking at the two doors with some hesitation.
An hour later, based on the subtle differences between the two different doors perceived by his Undying Holy Body, he determined that the things inside the "Yin" door seemed to be more familiar to him.
Without further hesitation, Chen Fan cautiously stepped into the "Yin" gate.
Suddenly, a golden ray of light surged from all directions, carrying a special, undying Dao essence, and swirled towards Chen Fan's body.
Deep battle roars, heavy thunder drums, and wild songs rose from afar, reflecting a trace of the power of bygone years. Qu Chenfan's indestructible holy body spontaneously activated, surging with blazing golden blood energy.
"This is....
""
Chen Fan looked surprised and suspicious, sensing the somewhat uncontrollable flow of qi and blood, and suddenly turned around to look.
A wisp of light, weightless shadow, seemingly devoid of any power, floated silently ten feet away.
"The First Generation... The Undying Holy Body..."
""
A hoarse voice, carrying the power of spiritual words, spread this Dao essence throughout Chen Fan's body. An inexplicable chill came from all directions, causing even this holy body, which was surrounded by blazing blood and qi, to change its expression drastically.
Chen Fan unleashed his golden blood energy with all his might, and roared, "You are not a living being!"
"You are the ancient, primordial spirit that exists within this bronze palace!"
That ethereal figure, its feet not touching the ground, moving lightly and seemingly without any power, did not deny it, but instead began to emit chilling laughter.
"Hehehehehehe..."
'
"It's okay, I'll be alive soon!"
A phantom resembling Chen Fan emerged from the void, laughing as it approached Chen Fan.
"I am also the first generation of the Undying Holy Body... You are also the first generation of the Undying Holy Body... Therefore, you are me, and I am you!"
Let's recover together!
""
The past and present seemed to intersect and shift, and the phantom resembling Chen Fan overlapped with Chen Fan's actual figure.
At this moment, strands of purer and more dazzling golden blood energy surged wildly across Chen Fan's body.
