Ascending the Heavens, Descending the Yellow Springs

"Something is indeed strange!"

Feeling the unmoving incense burner on the table, Zhuowen's eyes flashed. He did not continue to try to pull out the incense burner, but silently observed it.

After about half an incense stick's time, Zhuowen once again stretched out his hand and gently twisted the surface of the incense burner. Soon after, there was the sound of a mechanism turning.

A row of shelves on the north side slowly separated. Behind the shelves, there was a small hole that was a few feet long and wide.

In the small hole, there was a bronze statue. The bronze statue's appearance was that of an evil spirit baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Sharp fangs, long claws, and ghost eyes that glowed with a bloody light. Zhuowen could not help but frown. This bronze statue gave him an extremely strange feeling.

Moreover, the surface of this evil spirit statue was covered with bloodstains. Zhuowen could faintly smell a trace of blood. These bloodstains were not painted with paint, but real dried blood.

"What is this thing?"

Looking at the evil spirit in front of him, Zhuowen was slightly unhappy. However, he still stretched out his hand and took the evil spirit statue in his hand.

Suddenly, the evil spirit's eyes suddenly blinked. Soon after, a cruel laughter resounded in Zhuowen's ears.

"Enter the Yellow Springs, only slaughter!

Those who have committed grave sins and killed countless people can enter the Yellow Springs and obtain supreme power. "

Following the cruel laughter, Zhuowen faintly heard these somewhat strange words.

After these words echoed in Zhuowen's mind several times, the evil spirit statue in Zhuowen's hand suddenly floated in mid-air. Then, under Zhuowen's astonished gaze, it suddenly collapsed and turned into a long stream of green.

This long stream of green was like a spirit snake that constantly slithered in mid-air. If one looked closely, this long stream of green was like ink, drawing some kind of characters in mid-air. These characters formed a rich content.

"Slaughtering Finger of the Yellow Springs?

What kind of secret technique is this? "Zhuowen stared blankly at the runes formed by the cyan stream.

"This is not a secret technique, but a supreme immortal technique. Sure enough, there is indeed an immortal technique in the Azure Dragon Palace. I was a little puzzled before. It turns out that the immortal technique is hidden in such a secretive place!"

Xiao Hei flew out of the sea of consciousness and stood on Zhuowen's shoulder. She stared at the characters in mid-air, and her little eyes showed an unprecedented seriousness.

"Immortal technique?"

Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and revealed a trace of seriousness. He had naturally heard of Celestial Arts.

It was said that Celestial Arts were extremely rare. Some Celestial Arts existed innately, while others were created after birth. However, they all had one thing in common, and that was that their power was extremely terrifying.

And how rare were immortal techniques?

From the Bi Fang's memory, Zhuowen knew that even in the Central Region, only those extremely powerful forces possessed immortal spells.

Moreover, even in a powerful force, the number of immortal spells was extremely limited. It was the kind that could be counted with one hand.

"Zhuowen, the immortal technique is very powerful. If you learn this immortal technique, your strength will rise again, and this immortal technique will become your strongest trump card." Xiao Hei could not help but be moved.

Although Zhuowen looked calm on the surface, his heart was like a raging storm. He was extremely agitated, and even his right hand began to tremble.

Although Zhuowen had never seen an immortal technique with his own eyes, just from the Bi Fang's memory, he could vaguely feel how terrifying and powerful the immortal technique was.

Thinking of this, Zhuowen memorized the runes in mid-air word by word in his mind. Moreover, as a precaution, he even engraved the contents in a jade slip.

"The threshold to cultivate the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld is extremely low. I think you only need to cultivate it for three days to master it. Of course, the price to pay is that the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld has almost no power at all."

Xiao Hei knew more about immortal techniques than Zhuowen. With a glance, she could see the pros and cons of the immortal technique in front of her.

After Xiao Hei's reminder, Zhuowen carefully looked at the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld again. It was indeed as Xiao Hei had said. The threshold to cultivate this immortal technique was so low that it made Zhuowen feel a little ashamed.

However, the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld had a special characteristic. It was that the further one cultivated it, the more terrifying its power would be.

It was said that the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld required continuous killing. Moreover, it was best to kill people who had committed heinous crimes and were unpardonably evil.

If one killed a heinous criminal, the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld would automatically absorb all the sins of the heinous criminal, forming the embryonic form of the Netherworld.

When the number of sinful people killed increased, the Yellow Springs would also grow larger. And the larger the Yellow Springs was, the more powerful the Yellow Springs Finger of Massacre would become.

It could be said that although the threshold to cultivate the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld was very low, and its power was not strong in the beginning, as the Netherworld was condensed in the later stages, the power of the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld would become extremely terrifying.

This immortal technique was extremely malleable!

As long as the Netherworld grew larger, the power of the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld would become stronger.

"Let's cultivate the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld first!"

Thinking of this, Zhuowen sat cross-legged and began to recall the incantation of the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld in his mind.

Three days later, Zhuo Wen abruptly opened his eyes. He pointed a finger at the air with his right hand. Instantly, an invisible force spread out in all directions like a dense spiderweb.

"Ascend to the heavens and descend to the underworld!"

Swoosh!

Behind Zhuowen, a large amount of Netherworld water gushed out. However, this Netherworld water was only an illusion and its power was limited.

But even if its power was limited, the power of the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld was far more terrifying than ordinary cultivation techniques. It had greatly increased Zhuowen's strength.

"If I want to increase the power of the Slaughtering Finger of Netherworld, it seems that I have to find some heinous criminals and experiment with them." Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

"Hmm?

Father has gathered all the materials for the Gold Lightning Body Tempering Slurry? "

Zhuowen flipped his right hand and a communication jade slip appeared in his palm. Long Xiaotian's voice came from it.

After leaving the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, Zhuowen re-entered the second layer of heaven and earth. Long Xiaotian and Feng Xiyao stood quietly in a pavilion as they waited for Zhuowen.

"Zhuowen, I have already gathered all the herbs for the prescription you gave me. I have to say that many of the herbs in your prescription are rare herbs that I have never heard of. If I didn't go to the Elixir Room to search, I wouldn't have been able to gather all these herbs."

Long Xiaotian waved his right hand and threw a Spirit Ring to Zhuo Wen. He continued, "Furthermore, even in the Azure Dragon Hall's Elixir Room, I only managed to find one set of the rare medicinal ingredients in those prescriptions."

Zhuowen took the Spirit Ring and checked it. Indeed, all the herbs for the Gold Lightning Body Tempering Slurry were gathered inside.

Originally, Zhuowen planned to gather three sets. After all, he had three Gold Lightning Bamboos. But since there was only one set of some herbs in the Elixir Room, he could only give up.

"Perhaps I should go to the Middle Earth to take a look at some of the rare herbs. However, these herbs are enough to refine one set of Gold Lightning Body Tempering Slurry."

Speaking up to here, Zhuowen looked at Long Xiaotian and said, "Father, it's been hard on you this time."

"What's the point of saying this between us?

What do you plan to do next? Are you preparing to go to the Middle Earth? "Long Xiaotian waved his hand.

Zhuowen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I am indeed preparing to go to the Middle Earth. I must find a Saint Celestial Master to heal the wound on Chen Xue's soul."

Long Xiaotian and Feng Xiyao looked at each other and sighed. They were speechless.

Although their family was finally reunited, they didn't expect that something like this would happen in the end. They really felt helpless.

"Father, mother, do you want to go to the Middle Earth with me?" Zhuowen looked at Long Xiaotian and Feng Xiyao and asked.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Your mother and I don't plan to go to the Middle Earth. Father is already satisfied with saving Xiyao. I only want to stay with Xiyao."

Hearing this, Zhuowen was silent for a moment. In the end, he agreed with Long Xiaotian and Feng Xiyao's decision.

He knew that his father and mother had been separated for more than twenty years. They didn't want to experience a homeless life and didn't have any great ambitions.

Although the world in the Azure Dragon Hall wasn't small, it was still a small world. Compared to the four major regions, it was still lacking. It was more suitable for the two of them to stay in the four major regions.

Moreover, there were countless experts in the Middle Earth. They didn't know what would happen if they went there. Zhuowen also didn't want his parents to take such a big risk.

In the end, Zhuowen left Ryūka to Long Xiaotian, Feng Xiyao, and Long Xiangding. They stayed in the four major regions together, while Zhuowen took the Azure Dragon Hall and prepared to go to the Middle Earth.

Zhuowen was very clear that the Azure Dragon Hall might be able to cultivate individual Profound Sages, but it was almost as difficult as ascending to the heavens to produce a Heaven Sage. Back then, Long Xiaotian also relied on various opportunities to become a Heaven Sage. After that, no one else became a Heaven Sage.

The help that Profound Sages could provide to Zhuowen was extremely limited. Therefore, even if he brought Ryūka to the Middle Earth, it would be useless. It was better to leave Ryūka in the four major regions.

With Ryūka's current foundation and strength, it was enough to unify the four major regions and become the overlord outside of the Middle Earth.

Zhuowen also moved the Excellent Gods Academy back to its original location in the Divine Specter Realm. He knew that since the Icefire Family had pointed the spearhead of suspicion at him, it was unlikely that they would pay attention to the Excellent Gods Academy. Instead, they would always pay attention to Zhuowen.

In this trip to the Middle Earth, Zhuowen would be especially careful and cautious. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Lü Hantian and Wu Die had already gone to the Middle Earth, while Jia Nan and Gatha had returned to their family. Therefore, Zhuowen's only friends in the Azure Dragon Hall were Mo Lingtian and Mo Yan Wushang.

"Zhuowen, I have already become dao companions with Senior Sister Xu Lingping. We are preparing to become elders of the Excellent Gods Academy and guard the academy together. Moreover, I don't have the key to the Nine Underworlds Great Array on me!"

After leaving these words, Mo Lingtian simply left.
