As Zhao Yang and his companions traveled thousands of miles to Yinshan, the Black-Clad Youth suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his breath weak and his life force rapidly fading. Zhao Yang immediately landed on a mountain peak, using Chaos True Qi to help the Black-Clad Youth regulate his meridians, ensuring that his spiritual platform remained clear and his Qi Sea intact, preventing him from dying.
“He has been poisoned by Cold Poison. The dungeons of the Zhao Clan Imperial Family are bone-chilling, and over time it has turned into a toxin that has already invaded his meridians,” Ginseng Doll lazily poked its head out from Zhao Yang's arms. It had just expended a lot of energy interpreting for Zhao Yang and was feeling a bit drowsy.
“Then why aren’t you detoxifying him? Why are you just standing there?” Zhao Yang gave Ginseng Doll a light slap, pulling it out from his embrace.
“Pah—” Ginseng Doll spat on the Black-Clad Youth’s face, yawning as it said, “Alright, I’m going back to sleep now.”
This scene made He Qing laugh heartily. Seeing his mother amused by Ginseng Doll, Zhao Yang handed it over to her. He Qing had never seen such a peculiar creature and played with it for a while before returning it to Zhao Yang. She knew this was Zhao Yang's precious life-saving treasure and could not keep it.
An hour later, the Black-Clad Youth awoke, looking much better. Zhao Yang took out several Holy Dan from his pocket and handed them to the Black-Clad Youth. The youth accepted the Holy Dan and knelt on the ground, saying, “Thank you for saving my life, benefactor.”
Zhao Yang helped him up and asked, “No need for thanks. You alerted me to leave; saving you was merely a small effort on my part. From now on, just call me Zhao Yang. What is your name? How did you end up imprisoned in the dungeon of the Zhao Clan Imperial Family?”
The Black-Clad Youth replied, “My name is Yuan Shu. I am a disciple of the Feng Shui Divine Sect, under Master Mover of Mountains and Shishu Huang Long Zhenren. Over ten years ago, when I was only twelve years old, my master and I were investigating why the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy in the Five Elements Continent was rapidly decreasing. After three years of effort, we finally uncovered the path of the Leyline and arrived at the foot of Yinshan. However, we were unexpectedly pursued by an expert at the Transcendence Stage. My master died trying to save me. Shishu Huang Long Zhenren used secret techniques to find out I was here and attempted to break through the formation to rescue me but ultimately fell gravely injured and disappeared.”
“Huang Long Zhenren?” Zhao Yang murmured. He remembered that during the great escape of Myriad Spirit Sect years ago, Huang Long Zhenren had manifested to save his grandson Scholar Xiu and Nangong Wuxin. After that, there had been no news of him; even during the invasion of the demon clan, he had not been heard from. It turned out he had been injured while investigating the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy of the Zhao Clan Imperial Family.
“Brother Zhao knows my Shishu?” Yuan Shu asked.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, “I met him a few years ago; he is the grandfather of a friend of mine.”
“Is your friend Brother Zhou Xiu?” Yuan Shu inquired.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, but he has now changed his name to Scholar Xiu. He has quite a reputation among the new generation of young people in the Cultivation world."
Zhao Yang praised Scholar Xiu and continued, "By the way, have you managed to investigate what the Zhao Clan Imperial Family intends to do by gathering all the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy from the Five Elements Continent?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yang's question, Yuan Shu clenched his fists and replied, "When my master discovered clues about the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy, I once asked him this question. He didn't dare to answer and just pulled me away. Later, the Yinshan Five Elders caught up with us and killed my master. Before he died, he shared his speculation with me: the Yinshan Five Elders likely want to utilize the entire Earth Veins Spiritual Energy of the Five Elements Continent to create the largest killing formation in history."
"A killing formation? Are they planning to kill someone?" Zhao Yang was shocked by this information. Others might not understand, but he could clearly see the immense Earth Veins Spiritual Energy beneath Yinshan. The formation of this energy took millions of years and could provide generations of cultivators with resources for cultivation. Gathering it all together—he couldn't do it, nor could the Consort of Rain or even his own master. Absorbing all of a continent's Earth Veins Spiritual Energy at once would be catastrophic.
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment before speaking again, "My master only mentioned forming a killing formation but did not say it was meant for killing people. The true essence of the Feng Shui School emphasizes seeking dragons and locating veins, moving mountains and overcoming ridges, seizing creation from others, and borrowing power from heaven. Therefore, their research on Qimen Formation surpasses that of many Cultivation Mystical Gates. Strength is not measured by personal power; a single formation can trap and kill a group of opponents with higher cultivation levels than oneself. However, when a person's mastery of formations exceeds its limits, formations can be used not only for killing but also for altering yin and yang and modifying the six paths, achieving a reversal of fate. I spent ten years in the Zhao Clan Imperial Family's dungeon and received true teachings from a senior, which allowed me to survive. After years of contemplation and observing the Zhao Clan Imperial Family's reclusive behavior over these years, I have roughly guessed the Yinshan Five Elders' scheme."
"Could it be that they want to destroy the Cultivation world?" Zhao Yang said casually.
"That's right; they aim to destroy the Cultivation world, but that's merely a side effect. Their true goal is to use the formidable killing formation formed by Earth Veins Spiritual Energy to break free from heavenly constraints, shatter celestial barriers, and then move all of Yinshan to the heavenly realm to avoid tribulations. Over millennia, how many have succeeded as Immortals under heavenly tribulations? The Yinshan Five Elders want to eliminate future threats completely."
"That sounds too far-fetched," Zhao Tianlang interjected in disbelief.
Zhao Yang also found it hard to believe. If the Yinshan Five Elders dared to break through celestial barriers, what other insane things wouldn't they attempt? If they succeeded in breaking through heaven's barriers, countless beings in the Cultivation world would suffer immensely; all talents would turn into nothingness. Yet thinking about the frenzied surge of Earth Veins Spiritual Energy beneath Yinshan and their meticulous layout of formations made him reluctantly accept its plausibility.
"This matter requires further investigation. The Jade Celestial Ancestor won't allow them to act recklessly within our clan. Moreover, from my observations, the killing formation has yet to take shape; it will require at least another ten years before it can be completed. For now, we should observe how things unfold. What are your plans next?"
Yuan Shu replied, "I owe my life to Brother Zhao this time. Next, I will return to Feng Shui Divine Sect and ask Ancestor to investigate this matter."
Zhao Yang nodded and took out two pills from his pocket, handing them to Yuan Shu. "You've been imprisoned for many years; you must have accumulated stagnant energy in your body. Plus, that senior's Cultivation Method in the dungeon might have been peculiar. Rapidly increasing your Cultivation Method isn't necessarily good for you; these pills can help alleviate your suffering."
The Black-Clad Youth glanced at Zhao Yang, his heart shaken. This young boy, though not very old, was able to discern the hidden ailment in his Cultivation Method. With a single remark, he struck a chord. His parents stood behind him, silent and completely trusting of him. They must have encountered a renowned prodigy in the world of Cultivation. Therefore, he did not hold back and accepted the elixir with gratitude.
"If there are any clues, go to Xuanfo Temple to find the Abbot and the Four Divine Monks," Zhao Yang's voice echoed from above as the family of three departed.
Yuan Shu looked at the dark veins on his wrist, filled with rage. Gritting his teeth, he muttered, "The Yinshan Five Elders!"
