Chapter 289: One of the Nine Weapons! Mystery in Tai Sui Palace
The true fire is as boiling and as refined as a god, and the shining figure moves the universe.

It was originally created by seizing the destiny, and was born with a spirit fetus sitting in the mysterious gate.

“The essence of heaven and earth, created by fate… You are indeed the outliers in this world.”

Jiang Wansui looked at the figure in the firelight, his eyes fixed, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

In the blazing firelight, the terrifying figure stood up completely. It was more than two meters tall, shaped like a human, with arms below the knees and wavy hair all over its body. It could not be extinguished in the fire.

This one is the natural born spirit fetus enshrined in Baihe Temple.

When Jiang Wansui was young, he had seen one when he entered Baihe Temple. Over the years, the aura of such a terrifying existence has not diminished. Their lifespan is much longer than that of humans, monsters, and mountain goblins.

“us?”

In the firelight, the terrifying figure whispered coldly: “You humans say that two people make a group, and three people make a crowd…”

“There are only a handful of people like me in this world, so where do we come from?”

It is extremely rare to be born with a spiritual fetus. It seizes the power of the sun and the moon and steals the fortune of heaven and earth.

Their calamity is greater than becoming a demon.

Throughout the ages, countless famous mountains and rivers, and countless dragon veins have nurtured for hundreds or even thousands of years to give birth to a seed or an embryo…but how many of them can actually be born into this world?

Because of this, spiritual fetuses are born lonely. They are the real aliens in this world, wandering in time and rarely seeing their own kind.

“What are you doing here?”

In the firelight, the terrifying figure asked in a muffled voice. His heavy voice was even more captivating than the Taoist thunder method.

“You would never come to my place if it wasn’t something serious.”

“You are quite smart.” Jiang Wansui said in a serious tone.

“Hey, kid, I’ve eaten more copper pills than you’ve eaten salt.” The terrifying figure grinned.

In the world today, the only person who dares to call Jiang Wansui a little devil is probably the one in front of me.

“Did Chu Chaoran come down from Zhenwu Mountain?”

At this moment, the terrifying figure changed the subject. In the firelight, the pair of cold eyes became even colder. He subconsciously touched his chest, and a shocking scar was faintly visible.

The scar seemed to have life, it was breathing and moving.

The terrifying figure snorted coldly, and a violent aura surged, and only then did he suppress it.

“Speaking of which, it has been many years since I fought him. I would like to experience the Pure Yang Wuji realm again.”

“He will not leave Zhenwu Mountain, and I am not here for his business.” Jiang Wansui shook his head and explained the purpose of his trip.

“Just now, I received news that a natural spirit fetus was born in a mountain in Chang’an.”

“Um!?”

In the firelight, the terrifying figure let out a light exclamation, then hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

“It has not grown yet. The little guy was born prematurely. At the normal speed, it will take at least 20 years to grow up.”

“Born with a spirit fetus, the calamity is too great. How can it be easy to come to this turbid mortal world?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wansui remained silent, obviously believing this conclusion.

After all, the spiritual fetus in Chanbao Mountain was just an embryo. As a member of the same species, it could naturally be sensed.

If it really comes out, it is not certain.

“Although it is still an embryo, it has already formed. You Taoists have many ways to hatch it into shape…”

At this point, the terrifying figure’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint golden light flashed in them.

“Of course, when you Taoists get such a treasure, you would like to practice it into an incarnation…”

“This is the best body skill in the world.”

The human body is, after all, just a mortal body. Even if one cultivates to the level of a Heavenly Master and returns to one’s original state, there are still some shortcomings. How can it compare to this natural spiritual body?

Because of this, in ancient times, if a great Taoist master discovered a natural spiritual fetus, the best way to use it was to erase the consciousness, let the soul take over another body, and make it their own incarnation.

“This is what I’m most worried about.” Jiang Wansui said in a deep voice.

“Whose hands did the embryo fall into?”

“Vacuum Form Refining!” Jiang Wansui’s face darkened as he uttered a name.

“Vacuum Form Refining… Tsk tsk, another successor of this lineage has appeared in the world…”

In the firelight, the terrifying voice said coldly: “I remember that the last practitioner who practiced the vacuum form refining seemed to be a disciple of your Baihe Temple…”

“Master Changqing!” Jiang Wansui said in a deep voice.

He was a great master from three hundred years ago, a disciple of Baihe Temple who was famous throughout the world.

“Yes, it’s him… Back then, he also wanted to find a natural spirit fetus, a vacuum, a wonderful existence, and transform the spirit fetus into Qi, so that he could take the last step and achieve the Pure Yang Infinity…”

“Unfortunately, he is not so lucky. How can it be so easy to find a natural spiritual fetus?”

There was a hint of mockery and disdain in the words of that terrifying figure.

“This person’s luck is incredible. She actually found it.”

“What do you think her success rate is?” Jiang Wansui asked.

In the firelight, the terrifying voice hesitated for a moment before expressing its judgment.

“Less than 30%!”

“Is it so high?” Jiang Wansui pondered in silence.

“You are still like this. You like to nip all dangers in the bud and control all variables in your own hands.”

A cold laugh sounded slowly, and that wanton gaze swept across Jiang Wansui’s body.

“If she had the help of a natural spirit, perhaps her chances of success would be higher.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Wansui raised his eyebrows and looked at the rising flames.

“almost impossible.”

“yes……”

“The one from Longhu Mountain died a long time ago, so I naturally won’t help her…”

“After all the calculations, the only one left is the old cripple from Wuwei Sect.”

As he spoke of this, the wild flames wavered higher and the blast furnace behind him was shaking.

“That old cripple won’t help her either.” Jiang Wansui said with great certainty.

“Then her chance of success is still less than 30%. Even if she succeeds, she may not be able to achieve Pure Yang Wuji. She may even dissolve herself…”

“Hehe, the vacuum form refining… the end of this lineage is to refine themselves to death…”

“understood.”

Jiang Wansui nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

“Hehe, Jiang Wansui, it seems that you have thought about the Void Mirror… That’s right, in this world, only the Nine Weapons can restrain the Nine Methods.”

In the firelight, the words of the terrifying figure made Jiang Wansui stop.

The Void Mirror is one of the nine instruments, specially designed to restrain the vacuum body refining.

“You should have a good rest.”

Jiang Wansui walked away without even looking back.

The bronze door slowly opened with a deafening sound.

In the firelight, the terrifying figure slowly sat down, with a wild smile on his face. He picked up the copper balls beside him, scooped up the iron liquid flowing out of the blast furnace, chewed and swallowed. …

Tai Sui Village.

The night was hazy and foggy.

From the direction of the Xu Palace, a loud bell sounded, spreading far and wide, covering the entire village.

In a trance, the already dim palace temple was actually showing layers of firelight, about to fade out, about to rise but not yet rise, just like the drifting incense, rising three feet into the blue sky.

“Xu Dog? How could he have such a fate?”

Zhang Fan seemed to be thinking about something. He had originally arranged for Qin Ergou to enter Mount Zhongnan, but he didn’t expect that Qin Ergou would have such a connection with Wuwei Sect. By entering the Xu Palace, he would continue the extinguished incense and become the new Xu Dog.

“Don’t think about it. Now that he has entered the Xu Palace, it’s either success or death… There is no other way.” Bai Yujing said in a serious tone.

“Is he going to die again?”

“Do you think it’s easy to be one of the thirteen zodiac signs?” Bai Yujing glanced at him.

“Now that you are so powerful, you don’t even take the thirteen zodiac animals seriously?”

After saying this, Zhang Fan showed an awkward smile.

“Aunt, look at what you said. From childhood to adulthood, our teachers have taught us to be modest and prudent. How dare I belittle myself… Bah, I am arrogant.”

Among the thirteen zodiac signs, leaving aside the human sign, the strength levels are uneven. Newcomers like Lin Jianyue and Wang Tao have little experience and can only barely reach a high level of skill.

But people like the Shen Monkey are obviously much stronger, not to mention the Chen Dragon.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Yujing led Zhang Fan to grope in the fog. Even though she was a snake, she could not get a glimpse of the entire picture of Tai Sui Village. She could only use the [Si Palace] as a beacon to determine the direction.

“The Rabbit’s birth palace is in the east.”

Mao belongs to Zhen Gua, and its Five Elements are Wood. It is located in the east. The zodiac rabbit belongs to Wood in Five Elements, which happens to be of the same nature as Zhen Wood.

call……

Sure enough, after a while, a palace temple appeared vaguely in the fog. The incense inside was dim, just like the [Hai Palace] just now. The shadow of a big white rabbit was hovering above.

“Finally found.”

Zhang Fan came all the way from Jiangnan Province, after many twists and turns, just to find Lin Jianyue.

If he found out at this moment that Lin Jianyue was not here, he would really vomit three liters of blood.

“Go ahead.” Bai Yujing waved his hand.

“Aunt Bai, won’t you come in with me?” Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment and asked.

“Zodiac signs cannot enter each other’s natal palaces. This is the rule.” Bai Yujing explained.

“Okay.” Zhang Fan nodded helplessly.

“I’ll wait for you here.”

Zhang Fan grunted and turned to walk towards the vast fog.

The palace temple was getting closer and closer, and the fog around it became much thinner.

“This is Umiya!?”

As he got closer, the full picture of Mao Palace finally appeared in front of Zhang Fan. On the high-hanging plaque were two large characters engraved with strokes that were exactly the same as the Taoist text on the ancient stele at the entrance of the village.

The dome of the Mao Palace is circular in shape, like a big moon, with a perpetual lamp lit at the top.

“You’d better be in there, otherwise all my troubles will be in vain.”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the palace.

The long and narrow palace path was like intestines, leading directly to the main hall. Coming to such a strange place, Zhang Fan didn’t dare to wander around casually and went straight to the main hall.

On both sides of the temple stand clay sculptures with human bodies and rabbit heads. They have different expressions and details.

The statue closest to Zhang Fan’s right hand side has a human body and a rabbit head and is extremely sturdy. The muscles all over the body are intertwined like a dragon, especially the two pectoral muscles that are like big drums, just like an ancient warrior.

On the contrary, the statue of a human body with a rabbit head next to it is short in stature, has a wretched temperament, and is holding a pocket in his hand.

At a glance, there are dozens of statues with human bodies and rabbit heads, some holding swords, some with flames, and some holding thunderbolts…

“Are these the Rabbits from past generations?” Zhang Fan thought for a moment, and a guess came to his mind.

Walking to the deepest part, there are flickering incense and swaying flames in front of the altar. Above it is a statue of a human body with a rabbit head, holding herbs in one hand and elixirs in the other.

“Lin Jianyue!?”

Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up and he recognized it instantly. This was Lin Jianyue’s zodiac sign.

He could faintly feel a fluctuation of the primordial spirit coming from the statue with a human body and a rabbit head. Although it was extremely weak, there was no doubt that it was Lin Jianyue’s breath.

“You are indeed here.”

Zhang Fan breathed a long sigh of relief. Although Lin Jianyue’s current condition was extremely special, he was found after all. As long as he was not dead, there was still hope.

hum…

Zhang Fan’s soul was shaking, and the black and white Qi was boiling, reaching out to the clay sculpture on the altar like a tentacle.

Lin Jianyue’s soul curled up into a ball, like a wounded rabbit, with a moon-like luster, hiding in the corner of the clay sculpture.

The black and white Qi surged, slowly enveloping it, and was about to be led out.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the altar shook violently. Zhang Fan subconsciously looked up and suddenly discovered that behind Lin Jianyue’s zodiac sign, there was actually a clay sculpture. The only difference was that it was really a rabbit, but it was unusually tall, and looked very much like the phantom hovering above the Mao Palace.

“rabbit?”

Zhang Fan’s soul stared blankly at the huge rabbit. At this moment, it seemed to come alive, with a bright moon reflected in its eyes.

Zhang Fan’s soul seemed to be attracted by that ethereal gaze. Through those eyes, he saw another scene.

Inside a hall, there is an ancient scroll on the top wall. In the dark night, a big moon hangs alone, and eight figures are carrying a coffin.

“Eight kings carry the coffin!”

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. This scroll was different from the “Eight Kings Carrying a Coffin” he had seen before. It seemed to be bigger and had a lot more space.

In the dark night, eight strange figures were carrying a coffin, and in front of them, there was a solitary figure holding a lamp leading the way.

In the distance, a big star fell, and a dark figure walked out of the firelight.

There are twelve animals of different shapes hiding around, including rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes… They hide in the darkness and watch the scene of the eight kings carrying the coffin.

“Eight Kings Carrying a Coffin… Is this the Eight Kings Carrying a Coffin? What does this painting represent?” Zhang Fan’s heart was full of doubts.

Rumble…

The scene before him suddenly shook him, and his mind was turning. Only then could he see clearly that in this hall, there was a clay sculpture standing in front of the altar, which looked very much like the Tai Sui statue.

“Is this the Tai Sui Temple!?” Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.

Bai Yujing said that in the center of Taisui Village are the Taisui Temple and the Renxiao Palace, just like the yin and yang fish, restraining each other.

What he saw should be the scene inside Tai Sui Palace.

However, at this moment, the clay statue of Tai Sui stood in front of the altar like a guardian, ensuring that the incense would never go out.

On the altar, there was actually a primordial spirit lurking, practicing mysterious magic, and three figures were separated from it.

“This is……”

“Three corpses watching over life, the soul-dividing technique!?”
