The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 207 - 153: Qingming Visits Taiyin

As Li Qingming arrived at the Back Mountain Debate Cliff, a fierce battle between Duobao and Yu Ding was in full swing in the void. Disciples from both sides were so anxious they resembled ants on a hot pan, yet they were all of a similar cultivation level and could not intervene in the slightest.

Upon suddenly spotting Li Qingming, a group of junior brothers and sisters was first taken aback, then burst into ecstasy, quickly briefing him about the situation. What kind of demon was Li Qingming that he couldn’t see the trickery at play?

At this moment, Duobao was holding a green triangular flag high, continuously waving it. Green sword Qi surged from the flag, racing toward Yu Ding with urgency.

Yu Ding, on the other hand, was incessantly flipping and maneuvering a green longsword, with the Three-foot Green Peak emitting sharp Sword Gangs, colliding and dissipating the green sword Qi.

Li Qingming watched from the side, nodding inwardly, thinking: "These two fellows have solid foundations indeed and both have cultivated their mental methods to the Taiyin Golden Immortal Peak. If fortunate enough, they could step into Daluo at any moment!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the two types of sword Qi gradually dissipated, Duobao seemed to grow impatient with this type of attack. With a flick of his Daoist robe, an astonishing number of Magic Treasures appeared in front of him, all postnatal treasures of inferior quality, yet the quantity was quite impressive.

"Junior Brother Yu Ding, you must be careful. If you can dodge or block the attack of these dozens of Magic Treasures, then you win!" Duobao smiled sinisterly and commanded, "Go!"

A cover-shaped Magic Treasure suddenly floated towards Yu Ding, and at the same time, nine fierce fire dragons with swaying heads and tails emerged from within the cover.

"Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover?" Taiyi True Man was rather surprised and slapped his forehead, pulling a seemingly identical Magic Treasure from his sleeve, though the aura it emitted was much stronger than Duobao’s.

"There’s no need to be puzzled! That little fatty Duobao is known for his plethora, with his body being the Duobao Tower; he is naturally skilled at refining Magic Treasures. His Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover is a knock-off!" Li Qingming glanced at his bewildered junior brothers and sisters and explained.

"Oh, I see! Eh, Chi Jingzi, isn’t that your Yin Yang Mirror and Water and Fire Blade? Guang Cheng Master, even your Fallen Bell and the Female and Male Dual Swords are there!" Taiyi True Man seemed to have discovered something interesting and cried out in surprise.

"This little fatty really did it; he copied all of your Magic Treasures! They’re all knock-offs!" Li Qingming watched the dozens of Magic Treasures floating in front of Duobao, and said lightly.

"This, Senior Brother! What does ’knock-off’ mean?" Ci Hang blinked her bright eyes curiously at Li Qingming.

"Ah!" Li Qingming paused, then quickly realized. This wasn’t that world, the Primordial World had no idea what a ’knock-off’ meant. So he patiently explained, "A ’knock-off’ is a fake, an imitation! They look the same, but the function is far inferior!"

The crowd suddenly came to a realization.

"Second Brother, I think both of these little fellows have quite substantial foundations, especially Yu Ding who also cultivates the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and has an extremely strong physical body. It seems that little fatty Duobao will have a tough time!" Tongtian, with amusement, watched the two combatants and commented.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones who suddenly appeared by his side, the disciples promptly greeted them with respect.

"It’s not all that simple, though. Duobao’s Art of Refining Technique has indeed progressed quite well, not wasting the years I spent passing on my insights on artifacts to him," said Primordial, watching Duobao with growing fondness.

"Boom!"

The nine fire dragons produced by the counterfeit Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover slammed onto Yu Ding amidst the crowd’s exclamations.

A greenish glow surged around Yu Ding’s body, and his entire figure seemed to grow taller by several sizes. A desolate aura radiated from him, frantically sweeping around the vicinity.

Li Qingming smiled and said, "Master, look, junior brother Yu Ding has already cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to the fifth turn. Not bad at all!"

"Hehe, Qingmingzi, it’s rare to hear praise from you!" Primordial’s face beamed with a smile, a departure from his usual stern expression.

"Bang!"

When the surging airwave dissipated, an unscathed Yu Ding reached out with a single hand, and the still-circling nine fire dragons were wretchedly wailed out as Yu Ding kneaded them into a ball and flung them toward the counterfeit Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover in the void.

The fiery red fireball smashed into the cover with a "clang" and the decent-looking knock-off Magic Treasure was utterly ruined.

Seeing his Magic Treasure destroyed, Duobao was not angered but instead smiled slightly, saying: "Junior Brother Yu Ding, I didn’t think you were one to hide your capabilities! Just a few days ago, you were at the fourth transformation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and in just a handful of days, you’ve successfully broken through to the fifth tier—a real battle maniac!"

"That’s enough for today’s comparison!" Li Qingming glanced at the Three Pure Ones and with a step forward, stood between Duobao and Yu Ding.

"Senior Brother!"

"Qingming Brother!"

Two cries filled with ecstatic surprise came from both of their mouths.

"Hehe, enough! Master, Master Uncle, and Master are all here!" Li Qingming led the two at a slow pace towards the cliff edge.

Duobao and Yu Ding looked at each other, as if they had agreed upon it, and both knelt down, saying, "Master, this matter was all caused by me; it has nothing to do with Brother Duobao (Brother Yu Ding). I am willing to accept punishment!"

After the two of them spoke, they suddenly froze, then looked at each other and laughed.

"Hmm! It’s good for fellow disciples to debate the Taoist law and verify what they have learned. But you cannot act recklessly and fight recklessly!" Primordial Venerable said with a serious face, an aura of majesty pressing down so heavily that no one present dared to breathe.

"But there’s a cause for everything!" Li Qingming was not afraid of the Three Pure Ones getting angry. After so many years, how could he not know the temperament of The Three Pure Ones?

"Jin Ling, come here!" Li Qingming called Jin Ling over and said, "The cause of this matter is all because of you. Do you understand that in your heart?"

Her face flushed red, Jin Ling grasped the hem of her skirt tightly and said, "Disciple, disciple understands!"

"Hahaha, good!" Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "What’s with so much fuss for a cultivator. Jin Ling, my disciple, I ask you! Which one of these two brothers do you truly fancy?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding’s gaze burned intensely as he stared at Jin Ling, while a trace of amusement flashed across Duobao’s eyes. Then they heard Duobao say, "Brother Yu Ding, I ask you! Are you willing to forsake the elusive and immortal path of a Saint for Ling’er?"

Yu Ding, still gazing intensely at Jin Ling, not avoiding the question, said, "As long as I can be with Ling’er, even if I cannot reach the Saint Realm, I am willing!"

"Hahaha, Sister Ling’er! I told you there was no need to test this guy! He is truly besotted with you!" Duobao’s face, previously serious, now broke into hearty laughter.

Jin Ling blushed from her cheeks to the root of her neck, wishing she could burrow into the ground.

The disciples of the Three Religions also looked at Jin Ling with smiles. It was at this moment that Yu Ding realized what was happening; it turned out that Duobao wanted to take this opportunity to test him, and he had always claimed to understand Jin Ling. Now he had nearly offended his elder brother-in-law!

Li Qingming stroked his smooth chin and said, "Even if you become Daoist couple, there is still hope to become Saints! It is said that ’wealth, partner, method, and place’ are what’s needed on the path of cultivation. ’Wealth,’ our Xuan Sect has countless Spiritual Treasures and refining materials; ’Method,’ our Xuan Sect has boundless Great Methods; ’Place,’ our Xuan Sect occupies the precious land of Spirit Mountain. Only this ’partner’ is the hardest to find. The so-called ’Daoist couple’ is the other half of one’s life! Without the other half, the lives of both are incomplete! You must remember these words!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

The bashfully blushing Jin Ling and the grinning Yu Ding both nodded seriously.

The Three Pure Ones did not speak, but carefully pondered Li Qingming’s words on the side.

"However, you must not rush into matters concerning yourselves!" Seeing everyone deep in thought, Li Qingming suddenly chuckled, "In this world, there should be marriages of heaven, earth, and man. Only then can the yin and yang, and the human order of the Primordial World be settled. None of these three can be omitted!"

Although the Three Pure Ones were Saints, they could not calculate the hidden truths of heaven. Hearing this, they looked puzzledly towards Li Qingming.

Li Qingming pointed towards the sky, "This matter is decreed by heaven!"

And that very night, Li Qingming sneaked out from the peak of East Kunlun Mountain and headed straight for the Taiyin Star in Outer Heaven.

The Sun Star and Taiyin Star were both transformed from the eyes of the Pan Gu God. The Sun Star bred Di Jun and Taiyi, two individuals with Great Divine Power, who had already made a name for themselves in Primordial Heaven and Earth. Why was there still no news of Chang Xi and Xi He, who were supposed to appear?

Tonight, Li Qingming wanted to see what was so peculiar about the Taiyin Star! It is said that there is no Spiritual Energy on the Taiyin Star, but such a massive Taiyin Star, even if there is no Spiritual Energy on the surface, could it really lack any inside the entire planet?

The Taiyin Star, also known as the moon. The Taiyin Star above the Primordial Land is many times larger than the moon of that other world, still millions of kilometers away from the Taiyin Star. That powerful attraction and the chilling Taiyin Qi made Li Qingming feel that the immense power concealed in the Taiyin Star was no less than that of the Sun Star.

Just as he stepped onto the Taiyin Star, Li Qingming felt an extremely cold air around him, and he released his Primordial Spirit to carefully sense the flow of Spiritual Energy around him. Indeed, the surface of the Taiyin Star had thin Spiritual Energy, and it was all barren. Only the silver-white Moon Laurel Tree at the very center emitted traces of Spiritual Energy. However, all these seemed to be illusions under the investigation of Li Qingming’s Primordial Spirit.

This was a completely sealed Great Formation, known as the Star Sealing Spirit Array. This array can completely seal off a world, not only preventing the leakage of Spiritual Energy. From the outside, it looks even more desolate.

The whole array was naturally formed, with the Array’s eye being the Moon Laurel Tree at the very center of the Taiyin Star. This Moon Laurel Tree was quite peculiar. No matter how much you chop or hack it, as long as it does not completely perish, turning into ashes, even severe damage can heal instantly. To break this Array, one must forcibly break through the Innate Restriction underneath the roots of the Moon Laurel Tree.

Li Qingming approached the Moon Laurel Tree, his Primordial Spirit carefully examining it, only to be pleasantly surprised to discover that the tree contained abundant Chaotic Green Qi. This Chaotic Green Qi is the essential Qi of Chaos Green Lotus, naturally possessing the ability to create all things and is unrivaled in defense, no wonder the healing ability of the Moon Laurel Tree was so powerful.

Besides the Chaotic Green Qi, there was also Taiyin Qi and Profound Yin True Water condensed from Chaos Divine Water, greatly strengthening the prohibiting power of this Moon Laurel Tree. Breaking this prohibition was no easy task! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
