Chapter 458: The Ninth Method, Immortal True Nature

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the waves are surging.

Above the great river, the treasure ship flows like a fortress, the bright moonlight seems to be mixed into the waves, smashed, and scattered.

On the deck, that cold whisper was like an arrow off the string, cutting through the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

"What did you say?"

Hu Sanniang turned around and looked at Zhang Fan with interest.

Tonight, she came for Lin Jianyue, but didn't notice this "inconspicuous" man.

Xu Jiuzhi's eyes narrowed, and she also looked at Zhang Fan with some difference.

"Being able to enter the red dust with a demon body, your strength is not bad, and your courage is even greater." Zhang Fan said lightly: "But having cultivated to such a realm, you still don't know the truth that disaster comes from the mouth."

"In the end, it's just a stream of fur and horns."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiuzhi's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help looking at Lin Jianyue.

Fur and horns mean wearing fur and having horns, a beast that has not obtained a human form.

The simple four words are nothing to practitioners, but for demons and ghosts, it is too dirty to scold.

Back then, when Chu Chaoran's supernatural powers were not yet formed, he once pointed at the white crane in the Bai He Guan and scolded it as a 【stream of fur and horns, a generation with horizontal bones inserted in the heart】, which made the white crane chase and kill him for three days and three nights.

In front of demons and ghosts, scolding such words is equivalent to exposing the other party's shortcomings and lifting the other party's bottom.

Hu Sanniang was stunned, the smile on her face did not fade, but there was three points of coldness.

"Interesting, since my demon method was achieved, no one has dared to say such things in front of me."

"Demon method achieved?" Hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help laughing.

"The Dao has no end, how can there be achievement?"

"With your little Dao cultivation, you dare to speak wildly?"

Boom...

As soon as the words fell, a sharp aura rose into the sky, startling the moonlight to crush, shaking the waves to flow horizontally.

At this moment, the smile on Hu Sanniang's face completely dissipated, and a trace of grim anger finally appeared on her beautiful face.

"What a sharp-tongued boy, today I will teach you for your elders what is called disaster coming from the mouth."

Hum...

Hu Sanniang gave a delicate shout, and that sharp aura melted like a river tide, thousands of layers came as scheduled, and the flood surged into the world.

Lin Jianyue's face turned pale, and she felt like she had fallen into a boundless angry sea, submerged in that sharp aura.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, every inch of flesh and blood bearing immense pressure, as if she would be torn apart at any moment.

Her soul-aspect shuddered, unable to control itself, and amidst the panic, she only saw a cluster of light that would not be extinguished.

That cluster of light was like the central eye of an endless "vast ocean," controlling both life and death, terrifying beyond compare.

"Zhaishou Realm!?" A voice seemed to be roaring in Lin Jianyue's heart.

Within the Hu Sect, being able to inherit the title of 【Hu San Tainai】 is no ordinary role.

Throughout history, for any demon or ghost to be able to cultivate to the Zhaishou Realm is already a one-in-ten-thousand stroke of fortune, a miracle of spirit-creature cultivation.

Especially now that the Age of Dharma Decline has arrived, with the Life Merit perfected, naturally there are no taboos.

"Sanniang!"

Xu Jiuzhi's beautiful face trembled in shock, wanting to dissuade her, but she was powerless to speak.

At this very moment, she was like a small boat in the vast ocean, able only to drift with the waves, unable to control herself.

In front of a Zhaishou powerhouse, even a disciple of the Pure Yang Xu family, if the realm is not reached, can only be swaying in the wind and rain, left with nothing but terror.

"Little ghost, what did you just say? You might as well say it again."

Hu Sanniang's words echoed in everyone's ears, with a hint of mockery amidst the indifference.

"I said, who exactly is it that won't be able to get off this ship today."

Suddenly, Zhang Fan's voice rang out.

Hu Sanniang's pupils trembled violently.

Boom—

Immediately after, everyone's facial skin trembled violently, feeling that the sharp, vast-ocean-like aura suddenly began to vibrate, and the soul-aspect of Hu Sanniang appeared in the central eye of the sea.

It was a fox, silver-white all over, as if bathing in the moonlight of the Taiyin.

It crouched in the center of the "vast ocean," exuding a noble and supreme aura.

Suddenly, the entire angry vast ocean turned upside down, with giant waves crashing and the long sky collapsing.

The vast heaven and earth, wrapping around the angry vast ocean, turned into black and white in an instant.

That black and white seemed to be the base color of this heaven and earth.

"This... this is..."

Boom—

Suddenly, the black and white colors spun crazily, grinding against each other, actually wearing away the sharp, vast-ocean-like aura. Immediately after, the black and white colors were like a giant hand, reaching into the central "sea eye" and grabbing the soul-aspect of the silver-white fox.

"You are..."

Hu Sanniang shouted in shock, unable to believe it.

Her soul-aspect was like an endless vast ocean, swallowing all soul-aspects, but who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, she would seem to have fallen into an even broader heaven and earth? Looking again, her own soul-aspect had actually fallen into the hands of another.

"Zhaishou Realm, Life Merit perfected? This man is a Zhaishou powerhouse!?"

At this moment, a monstrous wave had already been stirred up in Xu Jiuzhi's heart, her beautiful eyes filled with deep shock.

She found it hard to believe that the man who had come with Lin Jianyue was actually a Zhaishou powerhouse.

At such an age, he had already refined an Inner Dan and perfected his Life Merit!?

"He..."

At this time, Lin Jianyue's eyes were also filled with shock.

It had only been a few months since they parted in Chang'an; who could have imagined that Zhang Fan had already stepped into a brand-new heaven and earth.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Hu Sanniang's soul-aspect struggled and roared amidst the black and white colors.

She felt as if she had fallen into a boundless abyss, and the only response was eternal loneliness.

"You should know now what it means for disaster to come from the mouth, and what it means that there is a heaven beyond heaven."

Zhang Fan's voice echoed in this desolate and endless abyss world.

Hu Sanniang's soul-aspect trembled; she seemed to see Zhang Fan's figure standing between the black and white, tall and towering, like the sole master of this heaven and earth.

That aura made her feel absolute despair.

At this moment, she was somewhat dazed.

Once upon a time, she had also seen such a man, such a temperament.

Heart higher than heaven, techniques capable of communicating with the divine.

"Zhang Tiansheng..."

Hu Sanniang murmured softly, feeling that the figure before her was slowly overlapping with the imprint in her memory.

Boom—

The black and white colors flowed, like the bright day and the dark night, a point of spirit light slowly seeping into her soul-aspect.

Endless light and shadow seemed to reverse the years, gathering bit by bit like ink.

That winter, heavy snow was falling.

The rivers of Jinmen were all covered in thick layers of ice, ships were locked at the riverbank docks, goose-feather snow fell, and frost covered ten thousand miles.

Amidst the vast snow, on the frozen river surface, inside that small building that had appeared out of thin air, there seemed to be the sounds of a grand banquet.

"Boss Jiang, the Dao Alliance was just founded, and you were actually able to rush over."

"Second Brother's wedding, I had to come."

"Unfortunately, the heavens are not cooperating. Eighth Brother, this northern scenery is quite like your Mount Zhangbai."

"The icy river won't melt, the heavy snow blocks the road... Second Brother, it seems even the Heavens don't want you to marry Sixth Brother's sister back to the Jiangnan."

"Fourth Brother, if you don't know how to chat, just stay on Mount Zhongnan."

Inside the small building illuminated by dim yellow lights, figures jumped about like a revolving lantern, and the sound of clinking glasses was endless.

"If the Heavens do not cooperate, then I shall teach the mountains and rivers to change the human world!"

Suddenly, a heroic, long roar came from the small building on the icy river, the sound spreading north and south, pressing the northern wind to bow its head by three parts.

Immediately after, a window on the small building opened, and the wind, wrapped in heavy snow like a knife, poured in all at once.

The next moment, a figure leaped out of the small building, and with one step, landed on the frozen river surface.

At this time, on the shore, a small silver-white fox darted out, looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared on the river, its eyes filled with deep curiosity.

That lonely, thin figure in the vast heaven and earth was actually so small, as if in the next moment, it would be submerged in the wind and snow filling the sky.

Suddenly, the wild wind on the river surface seemed to stop, and the goose-feather snow seemed to be frozen in mid-air.

That lonely, thin figure's left hand hung down, while his right hand slowly raised, as if forming a seal, and a vast, chaotic aura drifted out from his body.
