Chapter 772: Yin-Yang Bamboo

The voice in the void gradually faded, leaving a calm silence.

Black Bull snorted a hot breath, his gaze fixed on Chen Xun.

"Bull, no rush, let's wait a bit longer."

Chen Xun spoke lightly, as if it were a breeze, "The Wild Heaven Region is thousands of times larger than the Xuanwei Heaven domain. Over the years, the directions have gradually become clear, but a complete map is simply impossible."

"Moo." Black Bull nodded, understanding.

Just the 'Immortal Cang Plains' near the Wild Star Sea was already teeming with myriad clans, with the Ghost Face Clan's territory in that area, quite far from the Jade Canopy Forest Sea.

He stopped thinking about it and looked out the window at a rare spiritual plant hidden within the formation, emitting a faint green glow, connected with the Heavenly Origin star in the void.

The Jade Canopy Forest Sea holds a great immortal treasure, known as the Heart Bamboo.

This item can stabilize a cultivator's Three Souls and Seven Spirits, calm their mind, and contains vast immortal laws and life essence.

But these claims are just legends... quite exaggerated.

For a Heart Bamboo with such effects would have to be over a million years old, and such legends come from the longevity families, as they seem to truly possess this item!

Daring to call themselves longevity families, they are definitely cultivating families that have been passed down since before the Era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, recognizing only family fortune, not race.

This is also why many cultivating families exist in the Wild Heaven Region, as they too wish to pass down to the next great era, ascending to the status of a longevity family, surviving the great tribulations!

You would never see the shadow of a longevity family in other ordinary heavenly domains of the grand world.

Even the Human Emperor's own clan dares not claim to be a longevity family, as they bear the fortune of the Heaven and Earth human race, a different magnitude of existence from the longevity families.

The most terrifying aspect of the longevity families is their disaster-avoiding methods and endless contingencies... no one knows if they have immortals backing them.

But once, a great clan attacked a longevity family, and an immortal from the family descended...

The great clan's end was tragic, reduced to immortal slaves, and who knows where their descendants are working now.

In summary, when dealing with a true longevity family, they might claim there are no immortals, but you must never assume they truly have none backing them.

Ignoring racial and Heaven and Earth fortune, a cultivating family that even the Era of great slaughter among the myriad clans could not extinguish, no force or great clan wants to confront them, allowing them to exist in special heavenly domains of the grand world.

The descendants of these longevity families must never form Dao partnerships with outsiders, keeping their bloodline extremely pure.

They are a cultivating family that only believes in the destiny of bloodlines, not in rising through acquired opportunities.

What they care about is whether they can open up the Boundless True Immortal Realm and how their family can be passed down through the ages.

Even if the human race were to face extinction, the Jun family and the Yu family wouldn't bat an eye, never participating in racial Heaven and Earth struggles, only in the grand trends of Heaven and Earth.

Such longevity families, even Chen Xun doesn't want to provoke, feeling an inexplicable unease, more enduring than the Dao Ancestor's longevity.

Moreover, the immortal history before the Era of great slaughter among the myriad clans is scarce, likely erased during the fiercest slaughter...

In the world-shaking battle that swept across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Chen Xun dared not claim he could remain unscathed, and the most absurd part is that the longevity families weren't erased.

He once sent the Chen family to observe the emerging descendants of the Jun family, and their aura felt... like he was a mere mortal warrior, while they were the true disciples of great sects, and damn it, they were cultivating immortals!

Those longevity families surely know many great secrets of Heaven and Earth, so let them play on their own. Currently, there's no conflict of interest or Dao struggle, and Chen Xun has long moved past this force in his heart.

He's never had the mindset to meddle in everything, just wanting to live well and fulfill the wishes in his heart.

The million-year legend of the Heart Bamboo also comes from the longevity families, showing how wealthy they are to nurture spiritual plants for a million years.

Aside from the Crane Spirit Tree, Chen Xun couldn't use the World Soul to sustain the Heart Bamboo, he truly couldn't afford it. The World Soul can only increase its age and effectiveness, the nurturing power must come from the outside.

Especially for something involving the laws of Heaven and Earth, it doesn't need to absorb external spiritual qi, qi of the Five Elements, etc. Black Bull could only think of using the Heavenly Origin star to sustain it.

This item currently isn't of much use to them, but it's greatly beneficial for cultivators at the Great Ascension stage and Unity stage.

Chen Xun also uses Heavenly Origin Qi as a medicinal guide in pill refining, recalling that when they gifted Tai Yu a Heavenly Origin Pill for closed-door cultivation, the latter almost called them 'father'...

This pill has no pill toxins or backlash from rule power, as if it refined the Chaotic Path essence of the celestial realm, then forcibly elevated it by a level.

Tai Yu's physique and spiritual roots are incredibly strong, relying on this so-called 'immortal pill' to elevate the rule power to five thousand strands, forcibly breaking open the gate of Tribulation Crossing!

Those two ancient beasts also looked eagerly at Black Bull, ancient beasts have it tough... Senior Bull!

Black Bull is actually quite friendly towards beasts, recognizing their appearances well, and Chen Xun understood, accidentally revealing two Heavenly Origin Pills from his palm, gifting them.

This pill is extremely difficult to refine, even with his current skills, it's a furnace of pills every ten years, containing a hundred pills with pill patterns.

Moreover, the pill formation is always accompanied by celestial phenomena, but no imagined heavenly tribulation.

After the pill formation, Chen Xun instinctively crushed one to give back to the heavens, nurturing a piece of land.

Then he scattered another pill outside, perhaps falling into a valley, or into a secret realm, to be obtained by the fated.

Their combined World Soul can cultivate a thirty-thousand-year treasure medicine within a year.

A million-year treasure medicine only takes a mere thirty years.

But the laws of Heaven and Earth born within the Heart Bamboo can't withstand their consumption, vanishing in a hundred years, buried deep in the spiritual soil, and their greatest use isn't the Five Elements Law, etc.

It's the exceptionally ethereal Yin-Yang Law, the law contained in the Heart Bamboo, derived from the endless fusion and balance of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth.

It absorbed the rich Yin-Yang essence in the Jade Canopy Forest Sea, containing the purest essence of Yin and Yang, a miraculous species born of Heaven and Earth.

It can be said to be Heart Bamboo at a hundred thousand years, Yin-Yang Bamboo at a million years!

Regarding the True Sun Fire and True Yin Fire, Chen Xun has gathered information over the years, one is in the Liyang Immortal Palace, the other in the Taiyin Dao Palace...

This matter can only be temporarily shelved, as the cultivators inside don't seem reasonable.

Now the entire deep mountain is exuding a profound Yin-Yang aura, and Black Bull's Heaven-Binding Earth-Sealing Formation has become increasingly terrifying.

With the Yin-Yang Law added, entering this great formation directly balances and harmonizes your tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

It now serves as their life-saving trump card, though it's unknown if it can resist immortals, or how powerful they've become.

Outside the deep mountain.

A creature from the Burial Heaven Mound wore a pained expression, still wailing in agony, afflicted by a talisman, teetering on the edge of madness daily.

A breeze swept through the mountains, and a blurry figure emerged from the ground, exuding the qi of the Wood Element, with an unusually strange face.

"Zang You, greets Senior!"

The creature instantly performed a grand salute without hesitation, wailing miserably, "It was unintentional back then, I never meant to offend you, Senior!"
