In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

This time, the Pure Yang Cauldron also benefited greatly from the feedback of the celestial script, at least its power increased significantly.

When unleashed, it can grow to ten zhang in size, suppressing mountains and rivers; even a thousand-year-old demon king can be suppressed with a single cauldron.

In addition to its functions, the Pure Yang Cauldron also serves as a defensive weapon, a pill refiner, and a weapon for attacking people.

The synergy with Zhang Xiaoshan resulted in an attack that surpassed that of the Nanming Li Huo Seal.

Moreover, with the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Pure Yang Cauldron providing offense and defense respectively, coupled with the fire-escape amplification of the Nanming Li Huo Seal, it can be said that as long as Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't court death, he can run rampant in the cultivation world.

If one were to master the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique, defeating immortals in terms of attack would be no dream.

"Time to leave the customs area!"

Zhang Xiaoshan put away the Pure Yang Cauldron and stretched as he stood up.

With stiff limbs, the scenery changes in a single step, stepping out of forbidden territory.

Congratulations, junior brother (senior brother)!

The spiritual energy storm within the forbidden area lasted for five years before finally ceasing.

During these five years, the female disciples had no doubt about Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation level.

One of the benefits of the state of enlightenment is that there are no bottlenecks or limitations.

The senior sisters, especially those who had reached the Golden Core stage, were extremely envious when they saw that Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation had progressed from the fourth stage of the Golden Core to the perfect stage of the nine orifices of the Golden Core, and that his magical power was unfathomable.

If they were to gain an opportunity to comprehend the Dao, they might be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and become true great cultivators, elders of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace.

"I'm sorry to have worried all my senior and junior sisters."

"I must thank all my fellow disciples for protecting me during this period of seclusion and enlightenment!"

Zhang Xiaoshan cupped his hands in greeting and continued with a faint smile:

"Moreover, Chunyangzi's understanding of the Chunyang Dao has greatly improved during this seclusion."

Pure Yang and Pure Yin complement each other; the Pure Yang Daoist Manual is also the Pure Yin Daoist Manual. Therefore, Chunyangzi intends to place the Qi Refining Chapter of the Pure Yin Daoist Manual in the Scripture Pavilion, while entrusting the rest to the Palace Master. This is Chunyangzi's way of thanking his senior and junior sisters for their protection over the years!

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

Pure vaginal technique!

Upon hearing this, all the female cultivators' eyes lit up.

This is a Daoist technique that Zhang Xiaoshan comprehended during his enlightenment state; it is at least a superior method.

Moreover, the term "pure yin" is a Taoist term, just like "pure yang," and can be compared to Taiyin. I wonder how it compares to the Taiyin Yin Manual practiced by their direct disciples?

They were determined to go and see it, no matter what.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Xiaoshan bid farewell to the group of female cultivators and turned to go to the Guanghan Palace deep inside.

At this moment, inside the Guanghan Palace, Princess Liyang was still in seclusion, cultivating. In particular, the Xuan Yin Qi emanating from her body was becoming increasingly heavy. If it weren't for the help of the Yaochi Palace Master to suppress it, she would have been frozen to death by the Xuan Yin cold Qi long ago.

"Chunyangzi greets the Palace Master!"

........ ....... ...

"Golden Core Perfection? Nascent Soul Transformation?"

The news of Zhang Xiaoshan's emergence from seclusion naturally did not escape the notice of the Palace Master of Yaochi.

On the cold jade couch, the beautiful Yaochi Palace Mistress looked at Zhang Xiaoshan as he entered, her clear, bright eyes revealing a hint of doubt.

In the eyes of Zhang Xiaoshan's many direct disciples in Yaochi Immortal Palace, his cultivation level was at the peak of the Golden Core stage; however, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace could tell at a glance that Zhang Xiaoshan had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and that it was extremely solid.

However, the outermost layer shows the Golden Core realm.

This left the Palace Master of Yaochi unsure whether Zhang Xiaoshan was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, during my enlightenment, I unconsciously entered the ancient Golden Core Dao."

"The ancient way of alchemy!"

Upon hearing this, the Palace Mistress of Yaochi was startled, her beautiful eyes widening as she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

As a member of the Kunlun Daoist sect, which has been passed down from ancient times, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace naturally knows what the ancient alchemy path represents: a dead end.

All this is because of the changes in heaven and earth; the spiritual energy of the land can no longer support the cultivation of ancient alchemy.

"Chunyangzi, are you preparing to embark on the path of ancient alchemy, or will you switch to cultivating the primordial spirit?"

"This disciple has decided to switch to cultivating the Path of the Primordial Spirit."

The ancient alchemy path is too ethereal and cannot be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao of this place; it will inevitably be subject to the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

Although Chunyangzi was arrogant, he also knew that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

"Is that so? Very well!"

Upon hearing that Zhang Xiaoshan had switched to cultivating the primordial spirit, the Palace Master of Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of sadness also flashed across her face.

Switching to cultivating the primordial spirit was Zhang Xiaoshan's conservative strategy, but the fact that Zhang Xiaoshan was able to step into the ancient alchemy path demonstrates his extraordinary talent, unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, abandoning the ancient alchemy path would be an absolute waste of effort.

Chapter 954 Finally Becoming Daoist Partners: Primordial Spirit Taiji

"Brother!"

Like a lover longing for each other after a long time, her tender gaze caused a flicker of jealousy to flash in the beautiful eyes of the Jade Pool Palace Mistress.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's tiger eyes only flashed with a look of amazement and pity, while he was also observing the extent of the Xuan Yin Cold Qi's erosion.

Originally, Zhang Xiaoshan would remove the cold from Princess Liyang once every three months.

Five years had passed. The spiritual energy within the Guanghan Palace was predominantly yin and cold, which greatly increased the speed at which the Xuan Yin Meridian condensed cold energy. Moreover, the accumulation and quality of the Xuan Yin cold energy were more severe than in the mortal world.

"Junior Sister Li Yang!"

At this time, Princess Liyang had already become a disciple of the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace, and was a direct disciple.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan held Princess Liyang's slender wrist with one hand and used his pure Yang magic to probe the condition inside her body. Because he was so familiar with her, Zhang Xiaoshan did not feel that he was being too impolite.

After a long while, Zhang Xiao, nicknamed "873", couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"The cold energy within my junior sister's body had accumulated to a point that demanded immediate attention. Fortunately, she emerged from seclusion in time; otherwise, three months later..."

The original three years became five years, and Princess Liyang's Xuan Yin Meridian combined with the Pure Yin Technique resulted in a Xuan Yin Cold Qi that was even more severe than she had imagined.

If the previous chill was just a small stream at the village entrance, then the chill within Princess Liyang's body now is a raging river, vast and boundless.

It can be said that once this cold energy erupts, freezing the Jade Pool Immortal Palace would not be a problem.

Therefore, even if Zhang Xiaoshan did not leave his seclusion during this period, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace would still wake him up.

“Chunyangzi, since you have decided to switch to cultivating the Path of the Primordial Spirit, then the two of you can cultivate the Pure Yang and Pure Yin Yin Techniques together, unite Yin and Yang, and break through your respective realms.”

Following the suggestion of the Palace Mistress of Yaochi, Princess Liyang's stunning face immediately flushed with shyness, her beautiful eyes sparkling with desire.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded in agreement. Princess Liyang's reaction was not one of objection, and as a man, he naturally wouldn't be pretentious.

Moreover, this is a win-win situation.

The convergence of pure Yin and pure Yang will not only help Zhang Xiaoshan condense his primordial spirit, but also help Princess Liyang forge a flawless golden elixir.

Like Zhang Xiaoshan in the Golden Core stage, he had a solid foundation and extraordinary talent.

Three days later, Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Liyang went into seclusion again.

Before going into seclusion, Zhang Xiaoshan helped the Palace Mistress of Yaochi Palace strengthen her protective magic weapon, the Xuanbing Flying Silk, at a cost of thirty million merit points.

In terms of power, the Seven Star Shaking Light Sword is no less powerful than the Mysterious Ice Flying Silk.

However, the Xuanbing Flying Silk not only has an attack comparable to top-tier flying swords, but its defense and crowd control are also top-tier, so the merit of its enhancement is far greater than that of the Seven Star Yaoguang Sword.

Moreover, after being strengthened, the Xuanbing Feiling appears light and airy, but in reality, its material has undergone a qualitative change.

Just as flax fiber is upgraded to carbon fiber, the qualitative change in material naturally increases its power, and its various wonderful uses far surpass those of the Seven Star Shaking Light Sword.

With the complete version of the Pure Yin Manual added, after Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Liyang went into seclusion, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace also chose to go into seclusion to comprehend the Pure Yin Manual.

After Zhang Xiaoshan finished his seclusion, they began to jointly cultivate the Pure Yin Yin Technique.

···

"Is Junior Sister Liyang ready?"

When their eyes met, Princess Liyang lowered her head shyly, for she knew what was about to happen—something she had been eagerly anticipating.

The union of Yin and Yang makes one a Daoist couple.

She could even break the curse of the severed meridians, transform into a sacred body for cultivation, and keep up with Zhang Xiaoshan's footsteps.

Similarly, it was also the moment when she found someone she loved and her lover finally got married.

"Yes, please have pity on Li Yang, Senior Brother."

Inside the secret chamber, as the Taoist robe exploded and turned into countless drifting clouds, the two figures slowly merged together.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan had many wives and concubines in the lower realm, when he broke through the void, his body returned to its original state, and his primordial yang energy reversed its innate state. At this time, he was still a primordial yang body.

Therefore, when pure yin and primordial yang meet, the mysterious yin cold energy erupts, and Zhang Xiaoshan immediately chooses to break through using merit.

'Twenty million merits, breakthrough!'

Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation level has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so condensing his primordial spirit does not require much merit.

However, this time, in addition to his own breakthrough, Princess Li Yang's Xuan Yin Cold Qi also erupted. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally played it safe and wanted to use the power of merit to suppress the erupting Xuan Yin Cold Qi.

Instantly, innate spiritual energy overflowed from Zhang Xiaoshan's Purple Mansion, surging towards his Golden Core, while a small portion entered Princess Liyang's body.

When Yin and Yang meet, Heaven and Earth unite.

In an instant, Princess Liyang's primordial spirit left her body and entered a state of primordial spirit cultivation.

In a daze, Princess Liyang's consciousness, along with the combined cultivation of the two's primordial spirits, entered Zhang Xiaoshan's Purple Mansion...

Vast and misty, filled with a pure and refreshing atmosphere.

A mighty and powerful Xuanhuang cauldron suppressed the Qianzi Mansion, instantly calming Princess Liyang's previously wavering consciousness.

Before Princess Liyang could examine the Nine Provinces Cauldrons closely, a vast and boundless surge of innate spiritual energy rushed into her consciousness, instantly putting her into a state of enlightenment.

Furthermore, the Xuan Yin Cold Qi, which should have frozen the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, was suppressed by a terrifying spatial divine power.

The pure Yang Qi erupting from Zhang Xiaoshan's body transformed into two domains, one red and one blue, which intertwined endlessly like a Tai Chi symbol, slowly rotating.

As the Tai Chi diagram spun faster and faster, the speed at which the two absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding world also skyrocketed.

Boom!

In the depths of darkness, a bronze bell suddenly lit up, and another small patch of Heavenly Dao patterns illuminated.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron, nourished by the divine patterns of the Heavenly Dao, shone brightly, and a nine-colored mist enveloped the divine consciousness of the ancient Golden Core cultivator and Princess Liyang.

boom!

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, the golden core shattered, and the primordial spirit was born.

In Princess Liyang's consciousness, a spark of spirituality illuminated the darkness on her path of cultivation.

The mysteries of innate spiritual energy are completely unconventional.

Vast and boundless innate spiritual energy surged and gathered around the two primordial spirits.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Liyang regained consciousness from their dazed state of cultivation.

Inside the magnificent Purple Mansion, where the Golden Core was originally located in 2.0, a black and white Tai Chi diagram has replaced it. It resonates with the red and blue Tai Chi diagram outside, rotating at the same speed and frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

A mutation in the primordial spirit!

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan realized that he had gone too far again. He never expected that breaking through to the primordial spirit level would also allow him to create a mutated primordial spirit.

Although the Tai Chi diagram is the supreme concept in Taoism, the creation of such a Tai Chi diagram left Xiaoshan feeling helpless.

In addition, this Tai Chi diagram also represents two people.

Zhang Xiaoshan cultivates the Pure Yang Dao, so his primordial spirit is only the Yang polarity of the Taiji diagram, while the Yin polarity is naturally Princess Liyang's primordial spirit.

It should be noted that Princess Liyang was only at the Golden Core stage, and her primordial spirit was born from innate spiritual energy and the Taiji diagram.

Once Princess Liyang leaves the realm of the Taiji diagram, she will return to the Golden Core realm, with a trace of her spirituality hidden within the Golden Core, rather than the Primordial Spirit realm.
