Chapter 392: Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin

Where in the mountains and rivers does spiritual light arise? A speck of chaotic black, the king amidst the Dharma!

On the treasure-refining platform, deep within the bright glaze, a wisp of chaotic black seeped out from the depths of the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, spreading leisurely like an encroaching long night, surging like an abyss.

The gazes of the crowd trembled; they felt that the golden seal had become eerie, its golden light fading as a great terror suddenly awakened.

Only Zhang Fan, observing with his Nascent Soul, could see that the wisp of chaotic black was actually minute black rust, surging forth like the great night, thoroughly dominating the golden Dharma seal of Long Hu Mountain.

"Black iron fragments!" Zhang Fan's gaze narrowed into a line.

In his daily life, he kept the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 and the black iron fragments together on the shrine in his home, offering incense and refining them with alchemy. He never imagined that over the long passage of time, that object had actually infected the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】; the black rust had invisibly permeated this Dharma seal long ago.

A Dharma treasure being infected—it was unheard of.

Those black iron fragments were even more mysterious and unpredictable than Zhang Fan had imagined. At this moment, he could not determine what kind of changes the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 had undergone after being infected.

Boom, boom, boom...

On the treasure-refining platform, the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, which had originally been heavily suppressed, shook violently. Its terrifying aura instantly tore apart and devoured the fluctuations emitted by the 【Purple Firmament Spirit-Bestowing Jade Seal】.

Inside the ancient temple, that great seal emitted a low moan, and the incense smoke that had been boiling actually began to dissipate.

"The 【Purple Firmament Spirit-Bestowing Jade Seal】 has gone silent?"

The crowd's expressions changed abruptly, their eyes filled with deep astonishment.

That was the eleventh-ranked existence on the 【Long Hu Mountain Dharma Seal Golden Register】, the hub of this treasure-refining session, far surpassing the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】.

Facing the counterattack of the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, this great Long Hu seal had actually chosen to go silent!?

"Is it afraid!?" Zhang Fan's heart stirred.

He knew that what this ancient great seal feared was not the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, but the aura of the black iron fragments it had been stained with.

It was like a zookeeper who, having touched a tiger and become stained with the latter's scent, enters the territory of other animals, causing those animals to tremble in fear, silent as cicadas in winter.

Boom, boom, boom...

On the treasure-refining platform, the boiling bright glaze twisted violently. The 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 shook again, and the black rust spread leisurely, entangling the two remaining seals—the 【Thunder City Demon-Imprisoning Golden Seal】 and the 【Jingming Cave Yang Dharma Seal】. The terrifying pressure descended like a long night, crushing these two remaining seals in an instant.

"Is it eating!?"

The crowd's expressions became increasingly solemn, their eyes filled with deep eeriness. In their eyes, that golden seal had become like a human, having developed instincts akin to desire.

At this very moment, even in the eyes of An Wuyang, there was deep suspicion and fear. He felt the 【Hidden Sword Seal】 trembling; it was a kind of fear, an uncontrollable fear.

Hum...

The two remaining seals shattered, and the thick incense spiritual power surged like a tide, sweeping toward the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】. The latter shook gently, transmitting a mystical frequency, like a heartbeat or human breathing, and slowly devoured the incense spiritual power.

That feeling was as if it were harvesting and supplementing its Nascent Soul.

Boom, boom, boom...

The incense spiritual power of the two remaining seals was refined in an instant. The aura of the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 became increasingly terrifying, and the chaotic black on its surface grew thicker, as if it were about to merge with the original gold.

However, it seemed unsatisfied, and the minute black rust once again entangled the three Dharma treasure fragments on the treasure-refining platform.

Even the two remaining seals of Long Hu Mountain could not withstand the power of that black rust, let alone mere fragments.

Bang, bang, bang...

A piece of black wood, half a jade block, a golden chip... were instantly ground to powder by the black rust. The remaining incense spiritual power gathered in one place and was all devoured and refined by the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】.

Boom, boom, boom...

The blackness on the surface of the Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal became increasingly intense, chaotic like the mysterious darkness, and its eerie vibrations grew more terrifying. It was like an insatiable giant beast; once awakened, it would never stop until it was filled.

"What on earth is this thing?"

Mao Baifeng and Xiao Changfeng watched the transformation of that golden Dharma seal, the astonishment on their faces growing more intense. They had never seen such a Dharma treasure; it was like a human, harboring desires—terrifying desires.

"Not good!"

Just at this moment, An Wuyang's expression changed abruptly, and he shouted out in alarm.

As the owner of the 【Hidden Sword Seal】, he instantly felt a strong sense of danger—it was the precognition of life-and-death terror.

The "monster," whose gold and mysterious black were gradually mixing, seemed unsatisfied and had actually set its sights on his Hidden Sword Seal.

Hum...

An Wuyang was worthy of being a descendant of Mount Zhongnan; his decisiveness far exceeded that of ordinary people. With a thought, sword light surged around the Hidden Sword Seal, and it immediately took flight, actually leaving the treasure-refining platform and breaking away from the bright glaze.

Almost at the same moment, the minute black rust surged over, but it struck empty air. On the treasure-refining platform, only the Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal remained, the blackness on its surface wriggling and boiling, as if its desires remained unsatisfied.

"It's not full!?"

Zhang Fan's heart stirred, and he took the fragment of the 【Blazing Fire Seal】 from his bosom. With a flick of his wrist, the latter turned into a streak of crimson light and flew toward the treasure-refining platform.

As soon as the fragment entered the bright glaze, it turned into dust, and the remaining incense spiritual power boiled and surged, following the momentum into the Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal.

Boom, boom, boom...

This wisp of incense spiritual power finally caused a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

The Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal shook violently, and layers of flowing light seemed to peel off its surface, as if the old shell had been shed, giving birth to the root of the future.

At the same time, an aura rose up, crowning the sky, like the blue sky hanging clouds of red mist, brilliant like the great sun shining, treasure light covering the ground.

"Blue sky and white sun, treasure light blooming!"

The crowd's gazes trembled, and they could not help but exclaim.

"Green-feather Dharma treasure!"

"The Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal has finally ascended." Zhang Fan clenched his fists. As the owner, he could feel the power transmitted from the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】.

If a Yellow-feather Dharma treasure was as thick as the yellow earth...

Then a Green-feather Dharma treasure was as upright as the light of the blue sky and white sun.

This level of power was already not below that of the 【White Bone Relic】, and perhaps even surpassed it.

"Working for others in vain."

In the distance, An Wuyang's expression was cold as he stared fixedly at the Dharma seal still transforming within the bright glaze. He cast a glance, but it was toward Zhang Fan.

He had plotted for a long time, even sparing no cost to find the two remaining seals of Long Hu Mountain. Who knew that the mystery of fate would allow a Zhang Fan to appear out of nowhere and snatch his opportunity.

Not only did the Hidden Sword Seal fail to transform and ascend, but even the Long Hu Mountain Dharma seal that originally belonged to him was lost.

Boom, boom, boom...

Just at this moment, Mao Xiaoyun's figure manifested again, jumping out from the bright glaze. In an instant, the light dissipated, and the deep purple lightning and crimson earth fire became distinct once again.

Amidst the brilliant thunder and fire tempering, the newly born Dharma seal slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"The Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal!?"

Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow; he almost didn't recognize it. At this moment, the Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal had undergone a heaven-shaking change, and one could almost no longer see its original shadow.

The original gilded main body had actually turned into a black-gold color, like the long, hidden night, dotted with brilliant stars. The ancient seal script was even more complex, like dragons and snakes rising from the land, like mountains and rivers rising and falling, outlining each other to form the treasure seal's Dao patterns.

"Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin!"

Zhang Fan's gaze grew bright; a new name was on the tip of his tongue in his heart.

That newly born Dharma treasure was no longer the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, but the 【Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin】. It had used the 【Majestic Spirit Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 as its foundation, absorbed the two remaining seals of Long Hu Mountain, and four Dharma treasure fragments, finally taking shape on the Mao Mountain treasure-refining platform through the Celestial Master's ritual and thunder-fire forging.

Boom, boom, boom...

Before the treasure-refining platform, Mao Xiaoyun seemed to return from another world. He pointed a finger, and the thunder dispersed, the earth fire retreated, the sky full of dark clouds dissipated, and the fire-red ground became visible.

Before the ancient temple, a mountain breeze blew, and it gradually returned to its original tranquility.

On the treasure-refining platform, the Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin lay quietly, without a trace of movement, no longer having the activity from just a moment ago. However, the lonely and quiet luster it emitted carried the weight of the ages.

With just this one refining, it was equivalent to having gained an extra one or two hundred years of Dao cultivation out of thin air, thoroughly stepping into the ranks of Green-feather Dharma treasures.

"This treasure is no mere treasure!" Mao Xiaoyun's gaze narrowed slightly, falling upon the 【Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin】.

"Senior..."

Just at this moment, Zhang Fan had to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Senior!"

However, before he could finish his words, An Wuyang spoke up first.

This treasure-refining session was originally meant to add luster to his 【Hidden Sword Seal】, but in the end, it had cheaply benefited Zhang Fan, working for another's benefit in vain. Even with his high level of self-cultivation, he couldn't help but flare up.

"Uncle, this person has ulterior motives, stole the secret, and snatched Brother An's opportunity; his heart is punishable." Mao Baifeng also couldn't help but say.

"Uncle-master, Zhang Fan didn't mean to, this treasure..." Fang Changle hurriedly stood up to defend Zhang Fan.

"No need to say more."

Mao Xiaoyun raised a hand to interrupt. He flicked his sleeves, and the 【Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin】 landed in his palm.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but frown.

"You all wait here."

"Little Fang, come with me."

As he spoke, Mao Xiaoyun took the 【Black-Gold Heijin Heijin Gu Yin】 and flicked his sleeves, leaving.

"You wait for me here."

Fang Changle leaned into Zhang Fan's ear and whispered a reminder. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
