Chapter 1356 - 1351: Catastrophe Approaches
Qianqian smiled and said, "Brother Lin, it seems you still don't know the use of this ancient mystical jade. Let me tell you, as long as you can merge the yin and yang energy of the two jades, and then fuse your Inner Qi with the two streams of energy, you can reach any place you desire to go."
Even though Lin Chuan knew that the Yin Yang Jade had many secrets, he didn't expect it to have this function. However, he didn't quite understand what Qianqian was saying, and asked, "What should I do now?"
Qianqian said, "First, hold the two jades in each hand, and use your Inner Qi to guide the yin and yang energy out."
Lin Chuan didn't say a word, took the Yin Yang Jade from his neck, and held them in his hands. Then he raised his Inner Qi and poured it into the Yin Yang Double Jade.
Sure enough, two streams of air appeared within the Yin Yang Jade, one gold and one purple, slowly rising around Lin Chuan.
"Brother Lin, quickly, exhale your Inner Qi from your mouth," Qianqian said from the side.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately exhaled his Inner Qi from his mouth, merging it with the two streams of energy.
Suddenly, the sky changed color, and with a thunderous roar, the entire sky darkened in the east.
Murong Xue watched all that was happening, barely having time to react before a bolt of lightning sounded in the sky, and then Lin Chuan and Qianqian disappeared.
"Brother Lin," Murong Xue cried out anxiously, but there was no response.
A piercing roar of a beast, carrying violent and terrifying power, resonated in the mortal realm. The entire earth began to shake violently, and a crack appeared on the ground. Finally, the ground exploded with a loud boom.
The thunder roared in the sky, and after the Nine-headed Dragon appeared, several figures rushed towards it, and the battle commenced in the sky.
In the high sky, the nebulae shifted, and a sky-blue light group, like the Milky Way, spanned across the sky. The light group kept spinning, scattering strands of mystical power over the mortal realm.
In the distant horizon, the sky remained a dusky yellow, but the huge blue light group in the sky suddenly cracked open, with countless blue flames scattering to the world.
The Nine-headed Dragon let out a fierce roar, a flash of black light surrounding its body, forcing the dozens of powerful Cultivators attacking it to retreat. After the blue light group in the sky exploded, blue flames flashed across the entire sky.
"Ah..." At this moment, from a distant place, came a sound that seemed like a human roar. Within that sound, there were all kinds of sinister forces.
Lin Chuan and Qianqian entered inside, and as soon as the speed of the light array swept up, it carried them deeper into the Eternal Forest. The blue flames passed by them, and a distinctive force rippled in the sky.
Lin Chuan circulated his True Qi, then on a giant circular purple light array, Lin Chuan and Qianqian sat opposite each other, both intensely channeling their True Qi.
The purple spiritual energy in the array occasionally passed through their bodies, making it seem as if the two were one with the light array!
The purple light array surrounded Lin Chuan and Qianqian, and the entire sky turned a dusky yellow. In the distant southeast, the roar of the Nine-headed Dragon had not yet ceased.
Previously in the sky, the sky-blue light group shattered. Now, the sky was filled with blue flames shooting everywhere, creating a harrowing scene in the mortal realm. Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the array, blue light flashing in his eyes, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.
On the other side, Qianqian had her beautiful eyes tightly closed, and she was running the mental method Lin Chuan had given her earlier. Within her, a trace of the Heavenly Heart Skill was circulating.
The world appeared like the night sky, and at the top of the sky, a pale cyan light group slowly undulated.
"So this is the Spirit Light Group," Lin Chuan mused to himself.
The darkness in the world faded a little as beams of light scattered over the mortal realm. A whistling sound echoed through the sky. Then dazzling radiance flashed through the air, and a massive Spirit Light Group appeared in the sky below.
Boom boom boom...
The Spirit Light Group exploded fiercely, and a beam of light shone on Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan saw the purple light array around him suddenly dissipate, and he and Qianqian were exposed to the sky. The Spirit Light in the sky engulfed the two of them.
The tremendous Spirit Light howled and instantly surrounded them. Lin Chuan felt there was an extraordinary power within the Spirit Light.
"This is not the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth..." Lin Chuan shook his head, but no one answered him. The Spirit Light Group shooting straight from the sky surrounded Lin Chuan and Qianqian, and the Spirit Light, like a waterfall, howled around their bodies.
Lin Chuan and Qianqian sat opposite each other, their eyes tightly closed, their palms facing each other, and their internal True Qi resonated with each other.
Several massive heavenly thunders exploded beside them. Lin Chuan's heart remained as calm as water, but Qianqian was slightly lacking.
"Qianqian, run the mental method," Lin Chuan reminded.
Qianqian urgently did as Lin Chuan instructed, running the mental method. A purple glow flashed. In the descending Spirit Light, a cyan radiance also emerged.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes with a sharp shout, only to see those two forces suddenly merging above his head. With a loud boom, streaks of blue light flashed in the sky before surrounding the two of them.
As the blue light descended, a purple radiance followed closely, and amidst the intertwining blue and purple, both Lin Chuan and Qianqian felt a strange power.
Lin Chuan sensed that the True Qi within his body was boiling, rushing out of him and merging into that interwoven circle of blue and purple radiance.
"Ah..." Qianqian cried out from the other side, and in a swift flash, her delicate form revealed her true body, a cyan python over ten zhang long.
A cyan demon core flew out from within Qianqian's body, heading straight for the radiance circle in the sky. With the rapid fusion of the four forces, a mighty transformation began to spread from the circle of four-colored radiance.
Strange reverberations echoed from the radiance circle, and invisible True Qi condensed, sweeping toward Lin Chuan and Qianqian.
As the invisible True Qi approached Lin Chuan, it burrowed into his body, causing his brows to furrow subconsciously. Meanwhile, on the other side, Qianqian let out a grievous scream, indicating the pain she was enduring was far greater than Lin Chuan's.
"Qianqian, hold on, this is a transformation. If you get through it, your future will be limitless." Lin Chuan's heart was lifted with concern.
"Yes, Brother Lin," Qianqian responded with difficulty.
Outside their bodies, the four-colored radiance circle had grown to nearly a hundred zhang in size, resembling a pearl under the dim sky. The terrifying invisible True Qi continuously spewed from the radiance circle, shrouding Lin Chuan and Qianqian in the center.
Lin Chuan's True Qi was exhausted, and the intrusion of the invisible True Qi brought him immense pain, yet he persevered. On the other side, Qianqian was also enduring severe pain. Meanwhile, hundreds of figures appeared in the east.
"The Dark Nine-headed Dragon, a legendary beast, has appeared?"
"Indeed, now the mortal realm is in great peril..."
"It's said that people from the Ghost Sect released it in Thunder Stone Gorge. Now that the Nine-headed Dragon has broken the seal of Thunder Stone Gorge, it's likely those demon beasts will soon arrive in the mortal realm..."
This night, the entire mortal realm is destined to be anything but peaceful.
"Sect Master, the Dark Nine-headed Dragon was released by the Ghost Sect..." At this moment, on a distant mountaintop, a white-robed elder spoke to a gray-robed elder.
"I wonder how the Ghost Sect will explain this now..." The gray-robed elder nodded, his eyes filled with worry and complexity.
"Sect Master, the Ghost Sect's activities have always been suspicious. Now it seems they might be up to something." The elder remarked.
"Perhaps only the Hall Master knows. Call the people of the sect back..." After speaking, the elder stepped forward and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
At this time, in a different location in the southeast direction, another group of people, all dressed in black, could be seen.
"Sect Leader, what should we do?" an elder asked the leading elder.
"The chaos in the mortal realm is not something one person can handle. If others do not move, we do not need to move either. At the critical moment, prepare for an alliance." The elder waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" The elder responded and then left with his people.
"Ghost Sect, are your secrets about to be unraveled this time? What game are you playing, Hong Yun old man, what do you think?" The elder looked up at the night sky, muttering to himself.
In the Ghost Sect, the Ghost Sect Leader listened to the reports from his subordinates, unable to contain his joy.
"Haha... Good, the Nine-headed Dragon causing havoc in the mortal realm. My evil power is flourishing, and unifying the mortal realm is no longer a dream." The middle-aged man stood on the stone platform, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Father, we privately released the Nine-headed Dragon. The sects across the world will suspect us." Qi Bai stepped forward from the side, speaking to the middle-aged man.
"Bai'er, you've grown up. You see things differently now!" The middle-aged man glanced at Qi Bai with appreciation, then said, "That's right, they will suspect, but faced with the lives of worldly beings, they won't be able to ignore it. The greatest possibility is an alliance. However, the power of the Thunder Desolate Sea's demon beasts is enough to weaken them, and by then, we'll reap the benefits of their struggles."
"I see, even if they know our purpose, as long as we don't tear apart the world's façade, our plan can succeed!" Qi Bai realized.
"Indeed, exactly like my son Qi Xiang, haha..." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Deputy Left Guard, issue the order, the Ghost Sect disciples, prepare to save the world! You should know what to do."
A person in red armor stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yes, Sect Leader!" After saying so, turned around and quickly disappeared from the grand hall.
"Bai'er, next it will be your turn to perform, and your father's efforts will also succeed." The middle-aged man said, then his figure flashed and vanished from the hall.
Lin Chuan and Qianqian continued their transformation, though it was accompanied by immense pain. Compared to Lin Chuan, the pain Qianqian endured was several times greater.
