At night, in one of the courtyards of the Tai Chen Palace, the noise was still unceasing.
True or false, those who had come to see Tian Yang for the last time had already left, leaving only those inside the Pure Yang Palace in the courtyard.
The only people left in the courtyard were those from within the Pure Yang Palace.
With the sudden death of Tian Yang and the defeat of his elder brother Yun Lai at the hands of Lin Jianfeng yesterday, the next Pure Yang Palace Master was still up in the air, so those who were interested would not let go of this opportunity.
“All of you, Master has just pa*sed away, and Eldest Brother Ye has also unfortunately pa*sed away. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, so let me take care of this Pure Yang Sword for you.”
“Brother, what do you mean? The Pure Yang Sword is a symbol of the Palace Master, how can it be ——”
Just before the coffin, which had not yet been closed, Tian Yang Zhen Zhen’s disciples were bickering and arguing over the ownership of the Pure Yang Sword.
Real Tian Yang is an old-timer, a generation above Huayu Fei. His disciples were the senior members of the Pure Yang Palace, as all of his disciples had died.
Because he had not expected to die beforehand, Tian Yang had not left any explanation. Therefore, the Pure Yang Palace, a sect capable of competing for the position of Taoist sect, was in turmoil after the death of Tian Yang.
In the compartment next to the main hall where the coffin was placed, Yun Zheng, the youngest and most valued disciple of Tian Yang, listened to the bickering outside and was tormented in his heart.
He had never imagined that Tian Yang would suddenly die. Nor would he have imagined that his brothers, who had seemed so harmonious in the past, would show such ugly behaviour at this time.
As he had been injured by Zhu Kong with his killing sword yesterday, Yun Zheng was completely unable to attend today’s dao discussion. Therefore, when he heard the news of Tian Yang’s death, he was suddenly confused.
At this moment, hearing that his senior brothers were fighting for power in front of his master’s coffin, Yun Zheng’s heart was even more tinged with hostility, causing his handsome face to become hideous.
If he hadn’t been so seriously injured that he couldn’t even get up, Yun Zheng would have already rushed out to question his brothers.
‘They should really be killed!’
The sudden surge of thoughts caused Yun Zheng’s heart to panic.
He was certainly angry at his senior brothers’ actions, but the thought of killing came to him, but it caused him to panic.
However ——
Now that there are others outside the Pure Yang Palace who covet the sect’s divine power, if the senior brothers are allowed to create internal problems, the sect could quickly tumble and the dao could die out.
As he thought of this, the murderous spirit rose again in Yun Zheng’s eyes.
But in the next instant, the panic in Yun Zheng’s heart intensified, ‘How can I think of this when my brothers have treated me so well?
”Moreover, the sect is supported by Mount Longhu, even if there are external enemies, Mount Longhu will not ignore them. Why should I worry about the sky?”
Yun Zheng tried to comfort himself and set his mind at ease.
However, in his mind, it was a new thought that kept coming up.
”Does Mount Longhu really words shelter the clan?”
”Those fellow Taoists covet the clan’s masterpieces, and Dragon Tiger Mountain is also a fellow Taoist, don’t they covet them?”
Yun Zheng could not help but think of the Young Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu who returned with his master’s remains this afternoon, and remembered his concerned face when he was comforting himself.
At that time, Yun Zheng was so moved in his heart that he burst into tears. But now, when Yun Zheng thought of Zhang Yuanchu’s face again, it was a straightforward feeling of hypocrisy that was sickening.
”Those so-called fellow Taoists cannot be trusted, and Dragon Tiger Mountain — also cannot be trusted ——”
‘The senior brothers are also being drawn in by Mount Longhu and other sects, they are selfish and self-serving and want to draw wolves into the house for the position of palace master ——‘
‘I want to cut through the mess quickly, excise the rotten flesh that has been corrupted and maintain the independence of our sect ——‘
‘But I don’t have enough power. Second Brother and Third Brother, they were the first disciples to be accepted by Master, and they are almost twenty years older than me. They are all at the True Dan realm, while I, on the other hand, am still only at the Divine Origin realm.”
”I need to refine quickly and gain the power to be able to compete with them ——”
Thoughts popped up one after another in his mind, and Yun Zheng felt that his thoughts had never been so flexible before. He was able to make sense of all those human affairs that he was not good at in the past.
He was able to see clearly what was at stake in the intermingling of the various relationships between Mount Longhu, the Pure Yang Palace, and other fellow Taoists with different minds.
In the past, due to Tian Yang’s care for his youngest disciple and his single-minded focus on the martial arts, Yun Zheng was not good at these human affairs, even though he was 30 years old.
But now, it was as if he had suddenly become enlightened, as if a hazy veil had been lifted from in front of his eyes, and he saw the world in a whole new light.
”I want to practice, I want to break through ——”
Yun was forcing himself to endure the pain and injury in his body, insisting on running his true qi, circulating it continuously and starting to cultivate.
”Kung Fu is complete.”
In the room that was a wall away from the cubicle Yun Zheng was in, Qing Yu leaned his back against the wall, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yun Zheng thought that those thoughts were his own thoughts, but he did not know that it was all Qing Yu’s handiwork.
Not to mention Yun Zheng’s ideas, the group of brothers in the main hall who were arguing with each other, also had the credit of Qing Yu for pushing them forward.
Otherwise, the older ones among Tian Yang’s disciples were also true Dan realm experts, and even if they had a desire for the position of palace master, they would not have made such a scandalous show.
God’s thoughts scanned and ‘saw’ that Yun was insisting on running his true qi with pain, there was not the slightest gain, but instead, his injuries were relapsing, Qing Yu decided to put in another effort.
If a heavily injured body is forced to run true qi, it is good that the injury does not deepen, how can there be a good thing that the gong power is refined instead.
Yun was running his true qi relentlessly and was already in a spell, wanting only to break through immediately so that he could set things right and purge the Pure Yang Palace.
Even if his injuries deepened, there was nothing to stop Yun Zheng’s determination.
If he was allowed to continue to fight like this, Yun Zheng would be half ruined even if he did not die from the fire.
However, as Yun Zheng persisted, a new qi gradually emerged in his heart.
It was the opposite of Yun Zheng’s own true qi, the most yin and evil, yet incredibly gentle, complementing the pure yang true qi.
”This ——”
Yun Zheng hastily felt that that qi had fused with a bit of Zhu Kong’s sword qi left in his body, becoming a new kind of supreme yin sword qi.
”Could it be that the yin pole and the yang were born, and my paranoia had in turn spawned pure yin true qi by mistake, which then fused with that killing sword qi?” This thought could not help but pop up in Yun Zheng’s mind, and was deeply thoughtful.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, Yun Zheng ran his true qi, Yin and Yang went hand in hand, the pure Yang Dharma sword and pure Yin sword qi merged, and a power of unparalleled strength seemed to be brewing.
The sensation of his strength improving was so engrossing to Yun Zheng that he did not notice that his perceptions had invisibly shifted and changed a little.
