Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 588: Chapter 287: Three Corpses Inheritor! Visitor to Tai Sui Village (2)

"Not a moment to stay!"

Zhang Fan, with a heavy expression, took Qin Ergou and rushed into the riotous mist, concealing their forms as they prepared to leave Tai Sui Village.

He knew that his chance was but a fleeting instant.

"Zhang Fan, you have more guts than your father, daring to come to Tai Sui Village!" freewebnøvel.com

A chilling voice suddenly echoed, reverberating in the sky above Tai Sui Village.

Zhang Fan’s expression changed abruptly, feeling as if the world was like a vast ocean and he was a mere grain, struggling against the current, unable to escape.

This aura, this pressure, could only belong to the Celestial Master.

"Tai Sui has arrived," Bai Yujing said through clenched teeth.

Senior Evil’s attempt to seize the Innate Spirit Embryo had failed, and he unexpectedly returned so quickly to Tai Sui Village.

Rumble...

A red light rose from Tai Sui Temple, and the incense wavered, suppressing the impermanence.

The terrifying phenomena shook heaven and earth, surging from all directions, cutting off the retreat of Zhang Fan and the others, intending to leave them permanently in this village.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

At that moment, an ancient and mellow bell sound resonated from the depths of Tai Sui Village.

In an instant, pillars of incense shot up, each originating from one of the twelve Zodiac Life Palaces, as if responding in worship to the ancient bell sound.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw a more intense incense rising, resembling a red cloud, pressing horizontally over Tai Sui Village.

"Human Xiao!"

In Tai Sui Temple, Senior Evil let out an angry roar, and his aura withdrew by three parts.

"The Human Palace has opened, let’s go!"

Bai Yujing bit her silver teeth and sternly reminded.

"But..." Zhang Fan hesitated slightly.

"In this village, the Human Palace and Tai Sui Temple are Yin and Yang to each other, counterbalancing each other. As long as you are in the palace, you stand undefeated," Bai Yujing said solemnly.

The venues of Tai Sui and Human Xiao were not as simple as ordinary palaces and temples. They had existed since the establishment of the Wuwei Sect, containing mysteries known only to Tai Sui and Human Xiao themselves.

"Go!"

Zhang Fan steeled his heart, finally grasping the gap torn open by Human Xiao, his figure flowing and escaping, vanishing into the vast mist.

"Human Xiao, you dare challenge my authority before your great power is formed?"

Tai Sui let out a furious roar, causing the entire village to tremble.

"Once my power is formed, you’ll be the first I deal with."

A cold and indifferent voice came from the Human Palace, carrying a hint of disdain and laziness.

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Senior Evil suppressed his anger, for what he truly feared was not Human Xiao whose great power was yet to be formed, but that ancient palace.

"If you have the guts, come in and destroy me now."

"You think I don’t dare?" Senior Evil responded coldly.

Back then, he dared to strike against Li Linglong; why would he hesitate against this so-called Human Xiao without fully formed power!?

"You think just because he has no parents, you can bully him at will?"

The icy voice echoed again from the Human Palace, carrying a chilling tone.

"Interestingly, I have parents, come and try to kill one."

With these words, the atmosphere over Tai Sui Village became even more tense and on edge. In the face of the Celestial Master’s might, especially Tai Sui’s majesty, the undeterred Human Xiao was abnormally strong.

"Good, good, very good... Li Cunsi truly has a good son!"

Senior Evil restrained his killing intent, his emotions dissipating with his words. He uttered three consecutive goods, and the overwhelming aura retracted that peculiar Primordial Spirit of gray mist, returning to Tai Sui Temple.

Whoosh...

The Great Moon sets in the west; the clear day will rise.

The previously boiling, dense mist gradually calmed, once again shrouding the entire Tai Sui Village, returning everything to normal as if nothing had occurred, with the turbid red dust unable to touch this mysterious ancient village.

...

In the mountains, years are not recorded.

Zhang Fan and the others retraced their steps, their Primordial Spirits covering a hundred miles in a moment.

When they returned to their bodies, they were still within Toad Treasure Mountain.

The birthplace of the Innate Spirit Embryo was now in ruins, the sight around looked as if it had just experienced an earthquake or landslide.

Whoosh...

Zhang Fan exhaled a long breath, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

"It was truly close; just one step more, and we would have not made it out."

"What was that just now?" Bai Yujing pursued, recalling that strange Primordial Spirit, the haunting feeling like a brand unable to fade.

"I don’t know... I only know that Primordial Spirit was cultivating the Divine Splitting Technique, and it’s about to achieve Divine Fusion soon," Zhang Fan mused uncertainly.

The state of that Primordial Spirit was peculiar, on the verge of waking, yet facing Zhang Fan’s aura, it instinctively harbored hostility, breaking through regardless of the critical moment, vowing not to rest until dead. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Divine Splitting Technique? Was that person practicing the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate?" Bai Yujing, upon hearing, grew even more astonished.

Is there still someone in this world practicing this profound skill?

"He’s hidden in Tai Sui Temple... There’s no place safer than that in this world," Zhang Fan pondered.

"Three Corpses Inheritor? Just what is that person’s background? Could he be a seed protected by Tai Sui... aiming for the Master of the School of Non-action’s position?"

A daring guess rose in Zhang Fan’s mind.

Wuwei Sect had a rule that anyone who mastered the "Three Corpses Illuminating Fate" would automatically become the Master of the Sect.

Back then, Zhang Lingzong had the same thought, delving into the profound skill, yet unexpectedly, through a bizarre twist of fate, mastered the Divine Demon Holy Embryo instead.

"But even so, where did this monster come from?" Bai Yujing voiced a different view.

Three Corpses Illuminating Fate isn’t just something one can achieve casually. Talent, marrow, comprehension, opportunity, luck... not one can be missing, and even then, the success rate is only one in ten thousand.

If it were that simple to have someone practice "Three Corpses Illuminating Fate" and ascend to the sect leader position, the Wuwei Sect would have long been overthrown.

"Stop thinking about it. Since that Primordial Spirit is hidden within Tai Sui Temple, it must be an enormous secret, likely known only to Tai Sui and no one else," Bai Yujing said with a serious tone.

"You won’t guess the outcome."

"Makes sense," Zhang Fan nodded, putting away his chaotic thoughts.

"Have you found Lin Jianyue?" Bai Yujing shifted the topic, inquiring about their mission.

"Found him."

Zhang Fan nodded, relieved that the trip wasn’t wasted. Now Lin Jianyue was being nurtured within his Spirit Platform, nourished by his Primordial Spirit.

"It’s almost dawn."

Zhang Fan observed the time; the east had already started to lighten up.

"Check over there, leave no stone unturned, seal off the mountain."

At that moment, shouts came from nearby, and a group of Daoists approached at dawn.

"People from Zhongnan Mountain!"

Toad Treasure Mountain had caused such a commotion; Zhongnan Mountain had finally sent people.

"Don’t worry, we have our own," Zhang Fan grinned, and his mouth opened wide, emitting Meng Qiwu’s Primordial Spirit.

"Sister Meng, please lead us out. After a day’s activity, I need to go back and take a hot shower," Zhang Fan said with a grin, releasing his goodwill as he faced Meng Qiwu’s resentful gaze.

...

It’s dawn.

A ray of morning light pierced through the heavens, spilling onto the long-missed earth.

Tai Sui Village remained shrouded in dense mist, appearing enchanting and mysterious.

At the village entrance, the towering Dragon and Tiger Tomb stayed immovable, basking in the glory of the great sun.

A lame old man sat there, constantly tossing paper money into the fire pan, as if afraid the Zhang family members below wouldn’t have enough to spend.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

At this moment, a set of real and powerful footsteps came from afar, quickly approaching the village entrance.

"Hmm!?"

The lame old man raised an eyebrow, pausing in his actions. He looked up to see a young man with a backpack, seemingly a tourist, leisurely walking up close.

"Long time no see, Old Cai!" The young man stopped, smiling as he greeted.

"Today I came specifically to visit you."

"Void Sitting Forgetting!" Old Cai’s eyes narrowed, revealing the visitor’s name.

"Void Sitting Forgetting!?"

The young man smiled faintly, shaking his head, "Old Cai, I no longer go by that name..."

"I am Zhang Wang!"

"The ’Wang’ as in ’Void Sitting Forgetting’!!!"
