Chapter 1 Yin Yang Immortal Mountain

At the summit of Yin Yang Immortal Mountain,

stands the magnificent Yin Yang Immortal Palace.

Outside the palace, a hundred-zhang ancient tree towered into the sky. Its roots were white, but its leaves were black, making it the Yin Yang Ancient Tree.

The ancient tree was surrounded by Yin Yang Qi, with the sound of the Heavenly Dao chanting sutras. Rolling primordial Yin Yang Qi flowed from the roots of the tree down the mountain, appearing extraordinary. Each black leaf on the immortal tree possessed miraculous effects, allowing one to condense the power of Yin and Yang, and even prolong one's life.

The most direct interpretation of Yin and Yang was life and death, and this ancient tree possessed the ability to extend life.

But what was even more shocking was not the Yin Yang Immortal Tree.

It was the large disc hovering over the Yin Yang Immortal Palace.

The so-called large disc was of two colors, Yin and Yang, and hovered above the Immortal Palace, casting down billions of strands of Yin Yang Qi, judging Yin and Yang, life and death. It was a Houtian (acquired) spiritual treasure.

The diagram was surrounded by Yin Yang Qi, auspicious and unparalleled, while also exuding a terrifying aura. Even from tens of thousands of meters away, everyone felt a tingling in their scalp.

Within the Yin Yang Diagram was a world, filled with earth, fire, wind, and lightning, as if replaying the creation of chaos.

"You call that thing a large disc?"

At that moment, someone finally couldn't help but speak up. Many cultivators looked at Shan Ting, and at the Yin Yang Diagram, lost in thought.

"If it's not a large disc, what is it?"

Shan Ting was stunned for a moment, and answered without hesitation.

To be fair, it really was a large disc.

"This is the Taiji Yin Yang Diagram, naturally formed, a Houtian spiritual treasure. This item is destined for me."

Jieyin Bitter Sea's voice rang out as he instantly recognized the origin of the treasure and spoke.

Aside from being shameless, there was nothing else worth complaining about.

"It can't be called the Taiji Yin Yang Diagram. If it were the Taiji Yin Yang Diagram, it would be a Xiantian (primordial) spiritual treasure, not Houtian. This should be the Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram. If you can master this spiritual treasure, you can transform Yin and Yang, prolong life, and allow Immortal Kings to live without disaster or difficulty until the next era."

An Immortal King spoke up. Having some research on Taiji, he determined that this item was not the Taiji Yin Yang Diagram, but merely a Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram, and also explained the treasure's effects.

"Without disaster or difficulty, live to the next era?"

"It actually has this kind of effect?"

"The effect of prolonging life?"

The Immortal Kings were shocked, their eyes revealing greed.

An epoch was one million years, and every epoch, Immortal Kings would encounter calamities. These calamities were destined hardships, invisible and intangible, and would appear in different forms each time.

They were extremely strange. For example, an Immortal King once obtained an ancient book, thinking it was a good thing, but became obsessed with cultivating it, eventually suffering a Qi deviation and dying.

There were also Immortal Kings who were struck to death by terrifying divine lightning at the end of an epoch.

In short, a calamity would appear in every epoch. Unless one advanced to Immortal Emperor, imperishable like the sun and moon, living as long as the heavens and earth, the biggest trouble for Immortal Kings was the epochal calamity.

Now, hearing that this Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram could protect them from epochal calamities, how could they not be excited?

An era was ten thousand and eight hundred epochs! An epoch was one million years! How long could one live?

Of the hundreds of Immortal Kings present, the longest-lived had only lived for seventeen epochs, and were now like withered lamps, unable to withstand the next epochal calamity.

Therefore, many Immortal Kings stared at the Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram with burning eyes.

Not to mention Immortal Kings, even if an Immortal Emperor descended here and saw this Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram, they would probably be envious.

"Don't act rashly! This place has two great treasures, the Yin Yang Immortal Tree and the Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram. There must be an unparalleled expert guarding it. Everyone, don't act rashly."

Someone spoke, reminding everyone not to act rashly, lest they encounter trouble.

But unfortunately, this world never lacked greedy people.

As the saying goes, the bold die of fullness, the timid die of starvation. Some were cautious, but others were bold.

An Immortal King attacked, condensing wind and fire in his palm, wanting to uproot the Yin Yang Immortal Tree directly.

But at that moment.

*Chiang!*

An unparalleled sword Qi slashed out, soaring into the sky, accompanied by Yin Yang Qi, directly severing the Immortal King's arm.

The terrifying Yin Yang Qi transformed into Yin Yang Immortal Fire, instantly igniting.

"Ah!"

The first Immortal King to attack screamed. His left arm was surrounded by Yin Yang Immortal Fire, and the flames could not be extinguished. Even using the power of an Immortal King, he could not extinguish the flames, as if they could incinerate everything.

*Pfft!*

Instantly, an Immortal King attacked, taking out a piece of ancient cold ice, turning it into cold water to extinguish the Yin Yang Immortal Fire. However, the terrifying thing was that the cold water landed on the Yin Yang Immortal Fire, and the Yin Yang Immortal Fire burned even more fiercely. Previously, it was only burning the arm.

Now, the whole person was on fire.

"Ah!!!!!!"

A miserable sound rang out. The Immortal King was engulfed in flames, his body crackling as it burned, a ghastly sight.

"Amitabha, rather than suffer such torment, this monk will send you to the Western Paradise. Well done, well done."

A Buddhist Immortal King spoke. He truly pitied the other, knowing that being entangled by the Yin Yang Immortal Fire meant almost certain death, with no chance of salvation. Rather than being burned to death so painfully, it was better for him to personally perform a transcendence.

After saying this, the latter immediately attacked. Instantly, Buddhist light shone everywhere, and the Buddhist Lion Seal slammed down, a golden lion instantly blasting the Immortal King to death, ending his suffering.

The faces of the cultivators were unsightly. No one would have thought that an Immortal King would die just like that.

This was an Immortal King! Outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, they controlled a large domain. A stomp of their foot could shake the entire domain. Yet he died here, giving off a sense of cheapness.

Instantly, dark clouds rolled, wailing sounds rang out, and torrential rain poured down. This was the phenomenon of heavenly weeping. The death of an Immortal King would naturally bring about this phenomenon.

"Amitabha, well done, well done. If any of you benefactors encounter such a situation in the future, just give a shout, and this monk will do his best to transcend you."

The Buddhist Immortal King spoke, pressing his palms together in a compassionate manner, while looking at everyone and saying this.

The cultivators looked at each other, unsure what to say. They couldn't scold the Buddhist Immortal King, not knowing how to scold him. After all, what he said wasn't wrong. But if they didn't say anything, it felt like something was off.

But at that moment, Shan Ting's voice suddenly rang out.

"The Yin Yang Person has appeared."

As the voice rang out, a figure indeed appeared. This figure was half black and half white, half male and half female, looking extremely strange.

"Those who trespass on the Immortal Mountain will be killed without mercy!"

What was even stranger was the voice. The first half was a male voice, the second half was a female voice, and the voice was like a demonic sound, making one's hair stand on end.

This was an Immortal King-level expert. With a wave of his hand, the Yin Yang Ancient Tree burst forth with a Yin Yang Immortal Sword.

The immortal sword swept out, tens of thousands of Yin Yang sword Qi killing towards the crowd.

In an instant, the Immortal Kings attacked together, some dodging the sword Qi, others resisting it, the scene becoming chaotic.

*Pfft pfft pfft pfft!*

Some of the younger prodigies, cultivators who had not reached the Immortal King realm, were almost instantly killed by the Yin Yang sword Qi.

This was Immortal King sword Qi, and these sword Qi were released by the immortal sword transformed from the Yin Yang Immortal Tree, terrifying beyond compare.

Not to mention those below Immortal King, even Immortal King experts had to think twice.

*Boom!*

The Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang Exquisite Pagoda appeared, suspended above Lu Changsheng's head. Champion Marquis, Supreme Xuanji, Golden Crow Crown Prince and others all stood behind Lu Changsheng.

*Clang clang clang clang!*

The Yin Yang sword Qi struck the Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang Exquisite Pagoda, a series of metallic sounds ringing out. Each sword Qi burst out a spark of fire and left a sword mark on the pagoda. Although the pagoda automatically repaired these injuries in the blink of an eye, it was still shocking.

This was a Xiantian merit Immortal King artifact! It was originally a top-tier defensive magic weapon. Plus it had been modified, it was already a Xiantian treasure, which meant it was no weaker than an Emperor artifact.

Under normal circumstances, even an Emperor artifact wouldn't leave any traces after being struck with full force by an Immortal King. Yet the reality left people speechless.

Moreover, if this continued, it was feared that the Xuan Huang Pagoda would not be able to withstand the onslaught.

"You guys go down the mountain. It's very dangerous here."

Lu Changsheng spoke, knowing that this place was too dangerous. Supreme Xuanji and the others couldn't stay here at all, otherwise, they would only be holding him back.

"Alright."

Supreme Xuanji and the others were not clueless. They knew that with their own strength, they were not qualified to stay here at all.

Forcibly staying here would only lead to death, with no chance of survival. Even Immortal Kings had died here, so how could they protect themselves? They would only be dragging Lu Changsheng down.

Lu Changsheng used the Xuan Huang Pagoda to escort them away, including Shan Ting and Xuanwu, asking them to follow the others and escape this place. Otherwise, if they really encountered danger, it would be very troublesome.

*Boom boom boom boom!*

The next moment, Lu Changsheng sacrificed nine immortal cauldrons. He deeply understood that relying solely on the Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang Pagoda was not enough to get through this fierce battle.

Nine immortal cauldrons appeared, surrounding Lu Changsheng, and various divine beast phantoms appeared, resisting the Yin Yang sword Qi.

A full thirty breaths later, the sword Qi dissipated, and everyone could breathe. But before they could really relax, the Yin Yang Person struck again with a sword.

Tens of thousands of sword Qi soared into the sky, terrifying and monstrous, like a drizzle, densely packed shooting towards everyone.

*Clang clang clang clang!*

The nine cauldrons floated above Lu Changsheng's head, resisting the sword Qi.

The Immortal Kings also unleashed their skills, various magic weapons filled with immortal light.

Immortal swords, treasure umbrellas, pagodas, spears, immortal blades.

But most of the Immortal King artifacts shattered after being bombarded by sword Qi before they could even last long.

"Everyone, don't hold back! You must do your best! Defending will definitely lead to defeat. Only a desperate fight can lead to victory!"

An Immortal King roared, sacrificing an Emperor artifact, an ancient seal with nine immortal beasts coiling around it, exuding a monstrous dragon might.

The black ancient seal fell, like a true dragon reviving, the entire immortal mountain trembling.

*Bang!*

The Emperor artifact struck the mountain guardian, sending the latter flying, his bones broken, much to the delight of many Immortal Kings.

But at that moment, the mountain guardian directly returned to the Yin Yang Immortal Palace. The Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram raged, and beams of Yin Yang True Fire shot out.

All the Immortal Kings' expressions changed drastically, dodging one after another. No one dared to touch the Yin Yang True Fire, the previous events still vivid in their minds.

However, some Immortal Kings were very fierce, wielding Emperor artifacts, resisting the Yin Yang True Fire.

"Some fellow daoists help me! Revive the Emperor artifact and kill him!"

This Immortal King was very fierce, holding a jade Ruyi, bursting out rays of auspicious Qi. He wanted to revive the Emperor artifact, thereby achieving a one-hit kill.

"I'll help you."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Voices rang out, many Immortal Kings did not have Emperor artifacts, but were willing to help.

A total of ten Immortal Kings poured their immortal power into the Emperor artifact. At that moment, the Emperor's power filled the air, the stars trembled, the sun and moon dimmed. A fully revived Emperor artifact would be a terrifying thing.

But before the Emperor artifact could be revived, the Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram burst out with ten thousand rays of divine light, directly bombarding the Emperor artifact.

The ten Immortal Kings turned to ashes in an instant.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

These were ten Immortal Kings! Just like that, they died! This was too terrifying.

"Don't revive the Emperor artifact! If you revive the Emperor artifact, the Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram will give the strongest suppression. No one will be able to survive then."

An Immortal King noticed something strange and shouted loudly, telling everyone not to try to revive the Emperor artifact.

"Amitabha, well done, well done. This monk knows he is unable to compete for this item, and can only transcend everyone from afar."

The Buddhist Immortal King left, not continuing to fight, but fleeing to a safe area, pressing his palms together, chanting scriptures to transcend these Immortal Kings.

The phenomenon of heavenly weeping appeared again, even more terrifying than before.

Some of the cultivators were desperate. They couldn't revive the Emperor artifact, and they couldn't break through, so they could only be passively beaten. How could this not make people feel uncomfortable?

At that moment, the Yin Yang Person appeared again in the Yin Yang Immortal Palace, full of vigor, even more fierce than before.

He came out with Yin Yang sword Qi, and also accompanied by Yin Yang True Fire.

"If you want to really break the situation, you must directly kill this person! Otherwise, as long as he is severely injured, he will definitely hide in the Immortal Palace to heal. The Xiantian Yin Yang Diagram itself has a miraculous healing effect. Everyone, we must join forces and not give him a chance."

At this moment, the voice of Jieyin Bitter Sea rang out. He had not attacked, but had been carefully observing. Now that he had discovered a way to break the situation, he shouted, asking everyone to join forces.

"Everyone, listen to my command."

Jieyin Bitter Sea took a deep breath. He held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and waved it fiercely, the seven-colored light soaring into the sky, sweeping away all the sword Qi and True Fire.

"Kill!"

The next moment, Jieyin Bitter Sea shouted loudly. He was also doing it to break the situation, otherwise he would not have been at the forefront.

*Boom boom boom!*

Immortal techniques struck towards the Yin Yang Person.

Lu Changsheng didn't hold back either. He activated the Chaotic Double Pupils, and terrifying Chaotic Light burst from his eyes. Two Chaotic sword Qi struck out, terrifying beyond compare. Even an Immortal King would have to defend with all their might, or they would die under his Chaotic sword Qi.

Bodhi Wisdom did not hesitate either. He pressed his palms together, Buddhist light shone everywhere, and a hundred-zhang-tall Tathagata Buddha phantom appeared, directly suppressing the mountain guardian.

The two prodigies of the Nuwa Clan also unleashed their ultimate moves. Ancient divine diagrams floated behind them, bursting out with boundless immortal light, hitting the target.

"Ah!!!!!!"

A shrill scream rang out. The mountain guardian's body was directly severed by the Chaotic sword Qi. Under the suppression of the Tathagata Buddha phantom, his primordial spirit shattered. Plus the joint attack of the ancient divine diagrams and many Immortal Kings.

He turned to ashes on the spot.

At that moment, except for Lu Changsheng, no one noticed.

A figure quietly slipped into the Immortal Palace.

It was Shan Ting's figure.
