Chapter 255: Fortunately, no internal illness……

Gazing at the Zi Wei Star Domain, the legendary holy weapons can already sweep the eight directions, but Yang Zhu can directly sacrifice the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

Yang Zhu said he had wiped out the Golden Crow Clan; that very day they were overthrown, their habitat spanning hundreds of thousands of li was razed to flat ground—truly, his word became law.

And so on, but anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't assume that this unnamed grassroots rise came from a modest background.

"Believe that we will surely have a chance to meet again in the future."

Yin Tian De did not leave immediately; instead, he lingered here for a long time, exploring various ruins and remains, hoping to gain some harvest and insight.

……

Half a month later, Yang Zhu returned to Zi Wei again; at that instant, pure life essence rushed over, making everyone's pores relax and feeling very comfortable.

Compared to this place, Mars is simply another world, the gap immense.

Yang Zhu deduced again, quickly locking onto the Yaochi Holy Maiden's direction, and set off first.

Millions of li of mountains stretch and connect, overlapping, deep and magnificent; within lie countless ancient ruins, hiding many dangers.

In an ancient cave, the Yaochi Holy Maiden stood before a stone wall, carefully studying its Dao rhyme and meaning.

"Little Moon."

Suddenly, a familiar voice entered her ears, immediately pulling her thoughts back.

"You... you finally came."

The Yaochi Shen Nv came to her senses; upon seeing Yang Zhu for the first time, her immortal body trembled, her beautiful eyes rippled, a gentle smile appeared, flawlessly beautiful.

At this moment, heaven and earth lost their color; even the bright moon and stars in the sky grew dim.

"Sorry to have worried you."

Yang Zhu's voice was very soft; three years ago, when the Nine Secrets were gathered and the Immortal Sect emerged, it brought him into the endless void.

Things happened suddenly; Yang Zhu knew that even if the Yaochi Holy Maiden believed him, she would still inevitably worry, because no one knows where he would be taken.

Most importantly, the Yaochi Holy Maiden truly felt a moment of 'fear'; she feared Yang Zhu would truly enter the Immortal Realm and then disappear...

Upon hearing this, the Yaochi Holy Maiden's mouth curled with a faint smile, her crystal veil swayed, and she gently shook her head.

The two gazed at each other, true feelings showing in their eyes, they said nothing more, hearts in sync.

"This seems to be... left behind by the Taiyin Holy Emperor?"

Yang Zhu came to the stone wall; in just a moment he saw that the pattern left there was extraordinary, actually made by another Human Emperor, the Taiyin Holy Emperor's hand!

"Could it be that the Taiyin Holy Emperor once cultivated the Dao here?"

After scanning around, Yang Zhu surprisingly found that every arrangement was extremely particular; it's very possible the Taiyin Holy Emperor truly closed his cultivation here.

His Divine Eye unfolded, able to pierce all falsehood, trace back to the source, and extract the most essential Dao markings on the stone wall one by one.

"It should be before attaining the Dao, but the distance to attaining the Dao is not far."

He grew more certain: this is definitely one of the Taiyin Holy Emperor's Dao fields; although not many grand remains, each harbors great heavenly events, not to be underestimated.

Yang Zhu comprehended the Taiyin Dao patterns, continually merging with the Solar Dao traces, his control over Yin-Yang power became ever more terrifying.

He continually refined the Chaos Taiji Instrument, making it ever more exquisite, able to unleash even more terrifying power.

This comprehension took half a day; during that time, Yang Zhu was like petrified, standing motionless, his mind completely still.

"Could this be something left by the Holy Emperor?"

Suddenly, the Yaochi Holy Maiden spoke, holding a stone tablet in her hand.

"What..."

Yang Zhu instinctively turned back, looked over, but he was too absorbed therein, his Divine Eye still unfolded; in an instant, boundless spring light filled his vision.

The immortal body stood tall and graceful, skin like jade shimmering with crystal luster, spotless and warm like jade, capable of plucking heartstrings.

The peerless visage has no flaw, capable of making all beautiful things in the world pale; combined with this immortal form, it seems like the most perfect artwork of heaven.

Such scenery would make any normal man lose himself; Yang Zhu is naturally no exception, for a moment his gaze lingered there...

His cultivated Divine Eye can trace back to the source; even within the Bronze Immortal Palace, it can draw from the Ruthless Emperor's blood to reverse time, comprehend the instant a thought blooms into a flower, let alone the other's clothing.

The Yaochi Holy Maiden quickly reacted, nor did she deliberately avoid or shout rebuke.

Only her cheeks instantly flushed with a hint of bashfulness, she dared not meet Yang Zhu's gaze.

"Have you finished looking?"

After a moment, her throat rolled slightly, her voice almost inaudible.

"Cough... cough, good, no internal illness."

After Yang Zhu came to, a light cough, his expression pretendedly serious as he said.

"Hmm."

The Yaochi Holy Maiden's pretty face still flushed, she lightly tapped her pure white chin with slight shyness.

"It really seems to be the Taiyin Holy Emperor's thing."

Interrupted by this interlude, Yang Zhu redirected his gaze to the stone tablet in the other's hand.

However, the palm-sized stone tablet is pitch black, engraved with the two characters 'Taiyin', resonant and forceful, as if carved by an iron hook.

Unknown what material it was forged from, it seems to come from the Nine Underworlds, exuding a chill; holding the stone tablet in hand, a continuous flow of Taiyin power seeps out.

"Inside lies a small world, seemingly gathered Taiyin power."

Yang Zhu's divine sense sank into the stone; inside there is a not-small world, though most of it is obscured by strange runes.

Moreover, inside everywhere is surging Taiyin power like a sea, its amount enormous, rarely seen in the world, hard to estimate!

"Since you discovered it, it's fated for you; just keep it."

After the two scanned the area, they left to go look for the Big Black Dog and Duan De's traces.

"Little Black has subdued those ferocious spirits, becoming his followers?"

Along the way, after the Yaochi Holy Maiden's introduction, one month after Yang Zhu's disappearance, Big Black Dog and Duan De, those two rascals, suddenly came up with a bold idea.

That is to subdue all the evil spirits inside the eighteen layers of hell, bring them with you, and properly train them.

The Big Black Dog, acting in Yang Zhu's name, those peerless great demons had all seen Yang Zhu's methods, and in a moment they all agreed.

There were a full twelve of them!

They have been suppressed here for tens of thousands of years, constantly sealed and suppressed, their cultivation plummeted, no longer what it once was.

Still, they are not to be underestimated; most are at Half-Saint cultivation, and the weakest among them has reached Immortal Third Severing Dao Peak, not much different.

A Big Black Dog with Immortal First cultivation, yet followed by more than ten Half-Saint great demons—just imagining that scene is already thrilling!

"Just collect them then."

Yang Zhu fell silent for a moment; given the nature of those two fellows, it's indeed something they could pull off.

What he didn't expect was that the Black Emperor actually had a way to make that group willingly follow, and over all this time, no mishap has ever occurred.
