Chapter 45: Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearl
“Good disciple!”
Pei Zhen smiled and stroked his beard upon hearing this, then continued, “This time, with the opening of the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land… Not only will the direct disciples of our Divine Mechanism Peak, Spirit Mechanism Peak, and Mysterious Mechanism Peak enter, but also disciples from other peaks and halls… If there are disciples confident in their own abilities… They too may enter. The Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect are no different. Precisely because of this… This trip to the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land will certainly be a mix of good and bad. If one is not careful, one might suffer a setback in an unexpected place!”
At this point,
Pei Zhen reminded Xu Zhengyang, “But just as well, you are on good terms with that youngster from Mysterious Mechanism Peak. After entering the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land… Before reaching Green Peak Gorge for the trials, you might as well travel together with Yang Hong to guard against any mishap!”
“Yes, Master,” Xu Zhengyang replied.
“Mm.”
Pei Zhen nodded and said, “You are steady in conduct, mature beyond your years. As your master, I am at ease with you.”
“You overpraise me, Master,” Xu Zhengyang said.
...
During their idle conversation,
Pei Zhen’s flying vessel had already descended into a valley on Celestial Mechanism Peak.
The most notable feature of this valley was the stone wall deep within, standing seventy zhang tall and fifty zhang wide.
This stone wall was smooth as a mirror.
Looking closely, one could even see Spiritual Energy circulating within the wall, causing ripples like water waves to appear from time to time.
At this moment,
Not only were there disciples of the True Essence Sect gathered here, but also elders and disciples from the Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect waiting in this location.
Each of the three groups occupied their own respective areas to rest, avoiding interference with each other.
...
Shortly after Pei Zhen arrived with Xu Zhengyang on the True Essence Sect’s side...
Suddenly,
A hearty laugh came from the sky, followed by a voice resounding through the entire valley like a great bell:
“This poor Daoist Xuan Yin, on behalf of all within the True Essence Sect, warmly welcomes fellow Daoists!”
As he spoke,
A lotus-shaped flame over a zhang tall suddenly ignited out of thin air before the giant stone wall!
The fiery lotus burned for a moment.
Then, it abruptly transformed into a scarlet jade lotus platform.
At that moment, Master Xuan Yin stood atop the lotus platform, nodding slightly toward the stations of the Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect.
“Welcome, Sect Leader!”
The elders and disciples of the True Essence Sect spoke in unison.
“Greetings, Sect Leader Xuan Yin.”
The Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect also respectfully saluted Master Xuan Yin.
“Guests from afar, there’s no need for excessive formality.”
Master Xuan Yin said this, then waved his hand grandly, sending a surge of pure magical power into the stone wall behind him.
In the next instant,
The once mirror-smooth stone wall suddenly rippled.
Then, a blessed land with towering ancient trees, blooming exotic flowers, and spiritual springs and waterfalls came vividly to life upon the stone wall!
Just then,
An elder from the Azure Peak Sword Sect, clad in coarse hemp robes and with a thin face, remarked with emotion, “We’ve long heard that the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land of the True Essence Sect is blessed with innate spiritual charm. Now that we’ve seen it for ourselves, it indeed lives up to its reputation!”
Master Xuan Yin nodded in acknowledgment upon seeing this person and said, “So it is Elder Chen, the Black Iron Sword Master of the Azure Peak Sword Sect. You flatter me.”
As he spoke,
Master Xuan Yin waved his hand, tossing out ten pearls—each shimmering with black and white light—toward the Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect.
He then explained, “This item was something this poor Daoist obtained by chance while exploring a ruin. It is called the Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearl. Simply drip blood onto the Yin Pearl to establish ownership. Even if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the one holding the Yang Pearl only needs to will it, and they can immediately summon the other across realms, rescuing them from mortal peril!”
At this point,
Master Xuan Yin swept his gaze across the crowd.
After looking over everyone, he solemnly declared, “Fists are ruthless, and blades are blind. After entering the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land, it’s inevitable that the younger generation may act without restraint and cause injuries during clashes. However, just now this poor Daoist has already handed over five pairs of Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearls to the esteemed guests of both sects. Should your disciples encounter danger… Please activate the Yang Pearls yourselves to assist them in escaping danger.”
The leading elders of the Heavenly Profound Sect and Azure Peak Sword Sect immediately received the five pairs of Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearls upon hearing Master Xuan Yin’s words.
The two exchanged a glance.
Then simultaneously cupped their hands toward Master Xuan Yin and said in unison, “Many thanks for the bestowed treasures, Senior Xuan Yin.”
“Mm.”
Master Xuan Yin gave a nod of acknowledgment.
With a wave of his hand, a teleportation array over ten zhang in diameter appeared on the ground in front of the stone wall.
At the same time, he declared, “Disciples of the First Level who wish to enter the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land, step into the array.”
“First, establish ownership.”
Pei Zhen spoke as he handed a Yin Pearl from a Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearl to Xu Zhengyang.
“Yes, Master.”
Xu Zhengyang squeezed out a drop of blood essence to establish ownership with the Yin Pearl, then said to Pei Zhen, “Master, I’m going.”
“Go on.”
Pei Zhen spoke while lifting the Yang Pearl in his hand and said, “If danger arises, your Master will pull you out.”
...
Moments later,
There were already forty to fifty people standing on the teleportation array summoned by Master Xuan Yin.
Among them were not only direct disciples from the three sects vying for the once-in-a-millennium supreme-grade Bodhi Fruit...
There were also many ordinary disciples who knew they wouldn’t obtain the Bodhi Fruit...
So they only aimed to harvest in the herb fields of the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land to earn some hard cash.
Seeing no one else approach,
Master Xuan Yin pointed to the stone wall behind him and addressed everyone present, “This Absolute Shadow Wall can reflect every corner within the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land! Precisely because of this… After entering the blessed land… All private combat is strictly forbidden outside Green Peak Gorge! Should anyone defy this—”
Before Master Xuan Yin’s words were finished, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a child’s arm instantly blasted a stone taller than a person into powder!
Only then did he continue, “This Celestial Firmament Divine Lightning shows no mercy! Do you all understand?”
“……”
The disciples of the three sects standing within the teleportation array, upon witnessing this scene, collectively straightened up and responded in unison, “Understood!”
“Mm.”
Master Xuan Yin nodded and finally said, “Aside from the Bodhi Fruit… No matter what you obtain within the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land, seventy percent must be turned over to our True Essence Sect. Is that clear?”
“Clear!” everyone responded.
“In that case—”
As Master Xuan Yin spoke, the teleportation array suddenly burst into dazzling light, enveloping all within it.
At the same time, he said, “Then may you all return with abundant harvest!”
...
As soon as Master Xuan Yin’s words fell,
Xu Zhengyang suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness hit him!
In the next moment,
Countless light specks flashed rapidly past him.
But before Xu Zhengyang could clearly see them, he realized he had already arrived inside the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land.
Just then,
Yang Hong, having the strongest physique, was the first to recover from the dizziness and called out to Xu Zhengyang and Tian Xiyue, “Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Tian!”
Xu Zhengyang and Tian Xiyue exchanged a glance, then tacitly gathered together.
Immediately after,
Tian Xiyue raised her fair hand and summoned a crescent-shaped magical artifact that looked neither fully metallic nor fully jade-like.
“Hop on, we’ll head to Green Peak Gorge first!” Tian Xiyue said as she leapt onto the crescent-shaped artifact.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong did not hesitate and, after a quick callout, jumped on as well.
Just as Tian Xiyue’s group took flight,
The three of them noticed a disciple from the Azure Peak Sword Sect sitting cross-legged on a greatsword as wide as a door panel, smiling cheerfully as he followed behind.
Aside from that,
A man and a woman, two disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect with strikingly similar appearances, also summoned a spindle-shaped magical artifact and followed close behind!
