Downcast Soul Valley, deep underground.

Chen Yuan was completely unaware of what was happening in Chen Family Village, Fallen Dust Mountain. After taking the Blood Soul Wood Heart, his mind was solely focused on his breakthrough.

He didn't need to adjust his condition; he was ready to break through.

Moro stood atop the Yin Soul Tree, using the blood essence below to heal his injuries. With each gulp, gusts of Yin wind stirred within the Yin Soul Tree.

In a short while, it enveloped the entire cave.

Had Moro not sealed it off in advance, such a massive amount of Yin energy would surely have spread rapidly to the outside world.

Within the Spirit Platform, Chen Yuan's purple nascent soul sat cross-legged, mirroring Chen Yuan's movements. An invisible force began to envelop the Blood Soul Wood.

The refining began!!!

Strands of incomparably pure Yin energy swirled in the void, enveloping Chen Yuan. The surrounding temperature dropped several levels in an instant.

The Yin Soul Tree was a supreme treasure, capable of helping warriors completely condense their nascent soul into pure Yin. Its power was naturally terrifying. If an ordinary Refinement God True Person were to refine it, their nascent soul would be unable to withstand the force and would begin to disintegrate in less than a quarter of an hour.

But Chen Yuan was different.

He had endured two Fire Tribulations, and his nascent soul had already been tempered to an extremely strong level. Moreover, he possessed an unprecedented ten-inch nascent soul, extraordinarily sturdy.

The Yin wind could only aid him, not harm him.

This was why Moro didn't say much. If anyone knew Chen Yuan best, it wasn't his wife, Su Ziyue, nor his friend, Jiang He.

It was the demonic monk Moro, who had been with him for a year!

He had witnessed Chen Yuan's growth step by step. He had seen him condense a ten-inch nascent soul, refine his heart with ten thousand thoughts, and refine his spirit with heart fire. He knew that his foundation surpassed everyone he knew.

Even the Lord of Spirit Mountain, the current Buddha Tathagata, was no match for him.

The Yin wind howled, sweeping through the cave, bone-chillingly cold. The purple nascent soul within the Spirit Platform shone brightly. Chen Yuan sank his mind into it, triggering his Wind Tribulation.

With his cultivation level, he could have triggered the Wind Tribulation back in the Demon Suppression Tower. If it weren't for the opportunity guidance provided by the Sky-Quelling Demon Saint, he wouldn't have waited this long.

Now that the opportunity was in hand and Moro was awake and guarding him, he triggered the Wind Tribulation without hesitation.

In Refinement God, there are Wind and Fire Tribulations, with no fixed order. However, most people usually experience Wind before Fire. But this doesn't mean that the Wind Tribulation is easier than the Fire Tribulation.

In fact, both Wind and Fire Tribulations originate from the warrior themselves. The magnitude of the tribulation depends entirely on the strength of the warrior's nascent soul. Of course, the more terrifying the Wind and Fire Tribulations, the more powerful the warrior.

At the same time, the greater the benefits that can be obtained.

Qi refiners cultivate the nascent soul and seek transcendence.

The nascent soul is of paramount importance. The strong can even detach from their mortal bodies and travel between heaven and earth with their nascent soul, enjoying a thousand years of lifespan. Though not eternal, it can be considered longevity.

The Fire Tribulation originates from the warrior's heart fire – karmic fire, lustful fire, rageful fire – all are Fire Tribulations. For Chen Yuan, a large part of it came from karmic fire.

Su Ziyue, on the other hand, passed through the Lustful Fire Tribulation to attain the Refinement God realm.

The Wind Tribulation comes from the wind of the nascent soul. It seems like receiving Gang wind to refine the spirit, but it is actually just an illusion in the warrior's nascent soul. The purpose is to make the nascent soul more solid.

Of course, if there is external wind that can enhance it, it is a mixed blessing for the warrior. The good thing is that once such a tribulation is overcome, the nascent soul will be extraordinarily solid.

Laying the foundation for experiencing the Lightning Tribulation in the future.

The worry is that if it cannot be overcome, the nascent soul will be damaged. In severe cases, it will directly disintegrate under the tribulation, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Strictly speaking, the Refinement God realm is not a realm, but a process of the nascent soul transforming into the Yang Soul. Therefore, the nascent soul is also called the Yin Soul.

Step by step strengthening the nascent soul, passing through the Wind and Fire Tribulations, the Yin Soul can be transformed into the Yang Soul. It will not be destroyed by the Lightning Tribulation and can travel between heaven and earth, controlling objects with the spirit.

The Blood Soul Wood, formerly the Yin Soul Wood, has the greatest effect on warriors in that its Yin wind can completely transform the nascent soul into the ultimate Yin Soul.

Ultimate Yin and Ultimate Yang are two extremes. The Yang Soul realm is Ultimate Yang, while the Refinement God nascent soul is Ultimate Yin. When cultivation reaches the realm of perfection, it will bring great benefits to the nascent soul.

Comprehending the rules will not only be twice as effective, but also be much stronger than ordinary Yang Souls.

This was also what Moro told Chen Yuan. He initially cultivated the Ultimate Yin God realm before breaking through the Yang Soul realm. Discussing the top powerhouses in the world, a large part of them first condense the Ultimate Yin God to reach perfection before breaking through to the Yang Soul realm.

Chen Yuan is not the only one in the world with opportunities. There are many things that can assist Refinement God, but there are probably few who can assist Refinement God with the Yin Soul Tree Heart.

After all, the Ten Divine Trees are just legends, and even ancient books do not record them completely.

Chen Yuan being able to encounter two is already an indescribable great opportunity.

The Yin wind raged, the remnant souls screamed. Tragic roars enveloped Chen Yuan's ears. Streams of Yin wind, originating from the nascent soul, connected together, directly enveloping the nascent soul.

Chen Yuan guarded his mind, placed his palms in front of his knees, and seemed to have entered another space.

His mind was completely emptied!

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Yuan had arrived in another bizarre world. He was wearing a purple robe and looked up into the void.

Endless Yin wind enveloped the world.

His nascent soul was directly blown by the Yin wind, which scraped his flesh and bones, causing intense pain and blood to splatter. The Yin wind was like a knife, slashing harshly against his body.

Chen Yuan was prepared for this. He immediately sat cross-legged, allowing the Yin wind to envelop him, unmoving and unwavering.

After the tempering of the Fire Tribulation, his nascent soul was already very solid. In terms of strength, it was no less than that of a powerhouse who had experienced both the Wind and Fire Tribulations.

Those knife-like Yin winds scraped against his body, causing wounds, but his powerful nascent soul was able to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Purple light enveloped his body, making him seem like the only light in this boundless world of divine wind.

The Fire Tribulation originates from the heart, the Wind Tribulation originates from the spirit!

The Yin wind grew stronger and stronger, even condensing into tornadoes connecting the heavens and the earth, enveloping Chen Yuan. The powerful Yin wind was even more terrifying than before!

Chen Yuan, as the direct center of his nascent soul, would undoubtedly experience the tempering of all the Yin winds.

The pressure of the Yin wind gradually increased, and slowly, his recovery speed could barely keep up. But Chen Yuan remained unshaken.

The stronger the Wind Tribulation, the more terrifying his nascent soul would be.

He had passed through the two tribulations of the Qilin Divine Fire and his own heart fire. Could he not withstand this Yin wind refining his spirit?

If you want to gain something, you must first give something.

No rain, no rainbow.

Without experiencing the most powerful tribulations, you cannot become the master of the world!

Standing within the Yin wind, time was lost. Perhaps it was a moment, or perhaps many years. At this moment, Chen Yuan completely abandoned the concept of time.

He simply sank into his mind, shattering and restoring his nascent soul.

And with each restoration, his nascent soul became more solid.

Inside the cave, Moro watched Chen Yuan sit cross-legged, the Yin Soul Wood Heart in his hand gradually shrinking. He knew that Chen Yuan was currently refining his spirit.

Wind Tribulation refines the spirit; haste makes waste.

Some people can pass through the Wind Tribulation in a day, while others cannot pass through it even in a month.

It all depends on the warrior themselves.

Only by tempering the nascent soul until it is indestructible can it become the Ultimate Yin God!

While Chen Yuan was undergoing the Wind Tribulation in Downcast Soul Valley, the Jianghu was eerily calm. Of course, calm here means that there were no more incidents like the Liangshan Battle or the Mount Shu Battle.

In reality, the Jianghu was still in the midst of a melee.

However, Shu Prefecture had calmed down. Yang Huatian, the Lord of the Evil Ghost Path, was stationed in Western Shu, and Shangguan Tiehong was stationed in Central Shu. They had completely controlled the situation in the Jianghu.

They were continuously providing Chen Yuan with various resources.

Similarly, the government was the same.

Lu Renyi was managing things very well for Chen Yuan.

One day, a man in black came to Chen Family Village. He stood quietly on the surface of the lake behind Chen Family Village, his eyes containing a faint murderous intent.

He was Chen Huaiyi!

A few days ago, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if something had happened. He searched everywhere, but found nothing unusual.

Thinking about it, he decided to come to Chen Family Village to take a look.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw this completely leveled scene. The entire Chen Family Village had disappeared, replaced by a huge palm print.

Even this lake had changed its appearance.

Only a broken boat was parked by the lake, and the old man who used to sit alone on the lake fishing was gone.

Chen Family Village... was destroyed!

Wu Daozi was suspected to have fallen...

Chen Huaiyi's expression was calm, but great murderous intent arose in his heart.

Wu Daozi had retired from the Jianghu. Although the villagers of Chen Family Village were once the families of the Chen Family Army, more than two hundred years had passed, and they were no longer the same generation.

They were just ordinary people!

Who was so vicious?

Chen Huaiyi took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly opened his pupil technique, scanning the entire Chen Family Village.

Finally, he found two blood characters in the void.

'Imperial Court!'

Chen Huaiyi had seen Wu Daozi's methods, so he didn't believe that he was completely useless. He was searching now based on this idea, and sure enough, he found traces.

Blood characters condensed in the void that would not dissipate.

With a wave of his hand, he erased the blood characters, his eyes growing colder.

Imperial Court, it really was the Imperial Court!

This place was isolated from the outside world, and there were no grudges created. Even those who knew this place were only Chen Yuan and him. There were not many forces that could search this place.

The Imperial Court was the most suspicious one.

However, a thought similar to Wu Daozi's arose in his heart.

What did the Imperial Court want Wu Daozi for?

He was half-useless and of no use.

Could it be because of Chen Yuan?

The Imperial Court knew that Chen Yuan wanted to rebel, so they used Wu Daozi as a pawn to restrain him?

But...

How would the Imperial Court know that Chen Yuan was raised by Wu Daozi?

Chen Huaiyi couldn't understand and didn't want to think about it. He was preparing to go to Shu Prefecture to see Chen Yuan and wait for what would happen.

No matter what, Chen Yuan was raised by Wu Daozi, and their relationship was beyond doubt. And he was a child who valued relationships. Chen Huaiyi believed that Chen Yuan would find a way to take action.

And this time, he didn't want to be patient anymore.

It was nothing more than making trouble in the capital again, nothing more than... death.

Central Province, Divine Capital City, within the Sky Surveying Office's Heavenly Prison.

After taking Wu Daozi away, he was suppressed in the Heavenly Prison by Gu Tianqiong and others, waiting for Jingtai's disposal. And after learning this news, Jingtai

Immediately ordered people to go to the Heavenly Prison.

At this time, the Heavenly Prison was empty. There were no prisoners in the various cells, only strict defenses. As for the prisoners, they had already fallen.

Jingtai did not put on too much of a show. He only had a few people around him, such as Cao Zhengxian, Sima Che, and Li Kuangxiu.

Outside the number one cell, Gu Tianqiong stood in place, closing his eyes to breathe. Suddenly, he sensed the aura of Jingtai and the others and slowly opened his eyes.

"Duke Gu."

Jingtai nodded slightly, a look of joy rising on his face.

He had finally caught Wu Daozi!!!

His years of planning were finally about to be achieved.

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Tianqiong bowed slightly.

"Is Wu Daozi in the prison?"

"Yes, he is."

"Quick, open the prison door. I want to see him."

"As you command."

Gu Tianqiong nodded. A mysterious black token appeared in his hand at some point and was placed on the stone wall of the prison door behind him. Patterns lit up one after another.

Condensing into a portal.

As the number one cell under the Sky Surveying Office, it had only held a few people in the past two hundred years. But without exception, each one was a top figure in the Jianghu.

Jingtai couldn't wait to step inside. As for the people behind him, they looked at each other and did not move.

They were not afraid that Wu Daozi could resist. He was already half-useless and had been forcibly suppressed, making even moving a difficult task.

Entering the cell, Jingtai saw Wu Daozi, who was wearing tattered clothes and had white hair, at first glance. At this moment, he was controlled by four divine locks all over his body.

A mysterious pattern was also engraved on his brow to prevent his nascent soul from escaping.

When he saw someone coming in, Wu Daozi, who had a weak aura, slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the middle-aged man in a yellow robe in front of him, his lips moved slightly:

"Jingtai..."

"Senior Painting Saint, I've finally found you."

Jingtai's face lit up with a smile. People would definitely be quite surprised to see it.

Because Jingtai had rarely smiled in front of people since he ascended the throne, because he had to maintain the majesty of an emperor. And since the battle in Liangzhou City, his smiles had been even fewer.

But today, after hearing that Wu Daozi had been escorted to the capital, the smile on his face had never disappeared.

"What are you doing. looking for a half-useless person?"

Wu Daozi's eyes stared at Jingtai. This was the first time he had seen this emperor. He had only heard of him before. Since the destruction of the Former Chu, he had never been to the capital again.

"Half-useless?" Jingtai shook his head slowly:

"To others, you are a half-useless person, but to me, you are someone I must obtain. Without you, there would be loopholes in my various plans.

Therefore, since ascending the throne, I have been secretly searching for your whereabouts, searching for decades before finally finding you in Shu Prefecture. You really did hide deeply."

"What. plans?"

"A plan to transform mortals into immortals. My aptitude is not good, and my martial arts are hopeless. I was already desperate, but unexpectedly, I found a path that belonged only to me by chance.

This path is not the path of orthodox martial arts, but it also has the hope of achieving longevity, no. It even has a great hope of achieving immortality. For this matter, I have planned in every way and spared no effort.

I have killed countless clansmen and descendants, countless people, and countless Jianghu martial artists, but it is all worth it. For longevity, what does it matter if some people die?"

Seeming to know that Wu Daozi could not leak anything, he was very relaxed. With the Heavenly Prison blocking him, people outside could not hear what he was saying.

This was also his rare opportunity to confide.

"Hehe. emperor" Wu Daozi seemed to be mocking him.

"I know what you are thinking. I am indeed not qualified to be an emperor. I have not shouldered the heavy responsibility of the people, nor have I brought the imperial court to the time of the Former Chu.

But that is only temporary. When my plan is completed and I have powerful strength and a lifespan of hundreds of years, I will naturally be able to be a good emperor in the long run.

No, as long as I can eliminate this great chaos in the world, to the people, I will be a wise ruler who spares them from the flames of war. I have killed some people and saved most people. I have done a good job, haven't I?"

"Hehe. Jingtai, you are very similar to someone"

"Who?" Jingtai's eyes narrowed, not thinking that anyone could compare to him.

"Xiang Qianqiu. He is also that kind of person, always able to find excuses for his own interests, even if it means killing his wife and children."

Wu Daozi said intermittently.

Jingtai's mouth curved slightly, revealing a sneer:

"A former dynasty's prince, how can he compare to me? What if he is invincible below the immortals? He still cannot match the real immortals and only dares to huddle in a corner of Blood Province.

When I complete all my plans, I may not be able to kill him!"

Xiang Qianqiu looked down on Jingtai. Similarly, when his plan was about to be completed, Jingtai's mentality also changed and looked down on the former dynasty's prince who had been hiding for hundreds of years.

"However. I think you will eventually die at the hands of one person." Wu Daozi suddenly laughed.

"Kill me?"

Jingtai sneered dismissively and continued:

"Who in the world can kill me? The capital is as solid as gold, and the immortals are about to awaken. When I have completed all my plans and achieved an immortal body, who can kill me?

No one!!!"

"Then you just wait and see. See if what I said is true or false"

Wu Daozi stared at Jingtai and said with difficulty.

"It's a pity that you will never see this day." Jingtai only thought that Wu Daozi was threatening him before his death. But he was the supreme emperor.

Who could kill him?

Xiang Qianqiu?

He was not worthy!

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I will wait for you below, waiting to see the day you despair."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous. Wu Daozi, you are really ridiculous."
