Chapter 6, the ominous energy flows like a spring, crafted from jade into a coffin

The Yin cavity has been sealed

In the old house on the back mountain, Jing Younan, releasing her own imposing aura, appeared to the many wandering souls like a glowing firefly. They howled and rushed towards her, as the surging vitality and yang energy emanating from Jing Younan was their most favored delicacy

The deeper one goes into the old house, the thicker the malevolent energy becomes, and the greater the number of restless spirits. After defeating the last wave of the surging army of spirits, Jing Younan halted, raised his eyebrows, and focused his gaze on the nearby spirit cave.

The eerie and malevolent aura spread through the space, diffusing in visible patterns, obstructed by the black flowers blooming everywhere, forming a deep vortex that seemed unfathomable.

In the vast stone chamber, a white jade coffin floats in mid-air, both eerie and sinister

After a full three years, with over one thousand days and nights devoted to the cultivation of the Fetal Breathing Technique, it can be considered a case of profound accumulation leading to a sudden breakthrough

Jing Younan glanced around and saw that the dark energy in the shadowy cave was enveloped by a thin layer of auspicious light, unable to escape, and he couldn't help but nod in approval

With immense willpower, Jing Younan forcefully suppressed the surging emotions. He deeply understood that in this world, everything, like poppies and poisonous mushrooms, is more beautiful and more dangerous.

The giant turtle weeps sorrowfully, lying day and night by the seaside, gazing towards the east

This jade ruler is the only item in the stone chamber besides the jade coffin. It is adorned with strange runes, and endless blue lotus flowers bloom in the surrounding void, emitting faint, ethereal chants.

Jing Younan straightened his back, and a thunderous sound like popping beans echoed from his body, lasting for a full nine bursts before it ceased

For over a thousand years, a giant tortoise has roamed the northern lands, bearing the Demon Suppression Stele on its back, subduing and eliminating demons. All the demons encountered are suppressed beneath the stele, unable to escape.

After a long while, Jing Younan stood up, plucked a flower, and smiled, exuding an air of composure.

There was not a sound to be heard, an eerie silence prevailed

After completing these tasks, Jing Younan took out a golden talisman from his chest. At that moment, hundreds of runes on the talisman illuminated simultaneously, conjuring the ethereal image of a giant tortoise. The giant tortoise bore a deeply profound stone tablet on its back, which was inscribed with scriptures detailing the path of subduing demons and exterminating monsters

Jing Younan focused her mind and entered a state of tranquil breathing, immersing herself in the profound emptiness. In this state where nothing is obstructed, each breath flows naturally, embodying the essence of the divine.

Jing Younan suppressed the tumultuous thoughts in his heart and walked towards the innermost part of the old residence. Along the way, all the specters he encountered dissipated into white smoke under his fists, leaving no trace behind in the world.

After thousands of years, the giant turtle transformed into a turtle-shaped hill. The magic-suppressing monument on its back, having subdued countless demons, gained the fortune and merits of heaven and earth, becoming one of the few treasures in the world. After shedding its shell, it broke through the void and departed.

Stele everywhere, demons retreat, the seas are calm and the world is peaceful, a world of great harmony

Jing Younan had not been practicing the Baoding Zhenyao Jue for long. At the beginning, his movements were still somewhat clumsy, but as time passed, with each punch he threw, his understanding of the essence and true meaning of this martial art deepened.

Jing Younan held the talisman in his hand, his brow furrowed as he contemplated quietly. Although he did not know how the Yin cave was formed, he had some understanding of the Green Willow Villa and knew that such astonishing changes could not occur without reason

Stone chamber, jade coffin, black flowers, deathly silence

Jing Younan let out a long howl, and the spell he cast with both hands, the Baoding Demon Suppression Technique, remained powerful as ever, yet it now carried an added sense of enlightenment. A blue light illuminated everything, blending strength and gentleness, reaching a new level.

The precious tripod is a symbol of the Daoist sect. In legend, there was a mysterious precious tripod within the Daoist sect, possessing supreme magical power to suppress all directions and repel demons, making it a true protective treasure.

Although the woman in the jade coffin before him showed no signs of breathing and appeared to be as dead as one could be, Jing Younan was convinced that she had not completely passed away. Perhaps it was due to the woman's otherworldly nature, or perhaps it was his instinct, but Jing Younan had no intention of provoking such an inscrutable existence

With this move, the violently rising arms seemed to transform into two clawing and dancing poison dragons, soaring up and down, rushing through the skies. All the malevolent spirits they encountered instantly turned into white smoke, dissipating into the air

At the Baiyun Temple, hundreds and thousands of strong warriors practice the Baoding Zhenyao Technique tirelessly day and night. However, in the end, only one person truly comprehends the essence of this martial art and achieves genuine mastery.

Just like beautiful women in illustrations and books, this principle applies equally and is even more powerful

After a while, Jing Younan exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his eyes regained clarity. The moment he stepped into the stone chamber, his mental will was captivated by the jade coffin, leaving him in a dazed state, almost causing his soul to leave his body and plunge into the endless abyss of the underworld

To be able to counter such ominous energy, the jade ruler must be a precious artifact

Just in time

Since there was no one around, Jing Younan naturally shed the slightly naive facade she had been wearing, exuding a sharp aura honed in the apocalypse, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed

With the jade ruler tucked into her bosom, Jing Younan did not linger any longer. She turned around and left the eerie stone chamber at the fastest speed, leaving the jade coffin and the naked woman behind.

Adhere strictly to the character "one"; in the moment of thought, all things transform into spring

Jing Younan thought for a moment and decided to bury the remains of the four individuals. After all, they had died for him, and it was still possible to give them a proper resting place.

Jing Younan first recognized the power of the "Three Yuan Fetal Breathing Observation and Spiritual Method"; it laid a solid foundation for his physical body. Now, in the future, he will ultimately benefit from it.

In this way, the area surrounding Giant Turtle Hill became a paradise, free from the ravages of demons, where everyone lived in peace and contentment, with men farming and women weaving, self-sufficient and joyful

This jade ruler hangs above the jade coffin, casting down strands of clear light like silk. The bone-chilling coldness of the阴气 is repelled by the clear light, unable to approach even a fraction.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fear within, I walked into the passage ahead.

As dawn broke, the passage came to an end, and upon seeing the scene before him, Jing Younan was left speechless.

Speaking of which, the ruthlessness of the Immortal Path world is no less than that of a cannibalistic apocalypse; it is merely constrained by certain rules, making it less overtly brutal.

If it were not for Jing Younan's successful cultivation of the Fetal Breathing Technique, along with the gradual mastery of the Breath-Nourishing Method, characterized by deep and prolonged breathing, and the protection of spiritual talismans, any other person would likely be blown away by the yin winds in the dark cave, leaving no trace behind.

Ah.

Jing Younan believed that with this martial art alone, he could dominate among the strongmen in the arena. Even the Taoists present, if he could quietly approach them, would surely be defeated in a short time, allowing him to gain the upper hand

After a brief contemplation, Jing Younan extended his hand and took down a nine-inch jade ruler that was hovering above the jade coffin, examining it carefully in his hand

However, the black water is extremely cold; if an ordinary person comes into contact with even a small amount, it will turn into pus. Even more terrifying is that the black water contains a mixture of sulfuric fumes from deep underground and the explosive resentment generated by human grievances, which poses a fatal threat to one's soul

However, the terror of the giant tortoise bearing the Demon Suppression Stele continues to circulate widely in the northern regions, and even the most powerful demons are reluctant to approach the giant tortoise

Jing Younan exhaled and spoke, taking a step forward with a bow stance. His arms swung up, muscles bulging, resembling a dragon and a snake, wild and domineering, sweeping across all directions

As if the body and soul have separated, transcending external objects, empty and ethereal, utterly elusive

This set of Baoding Town's Demon Subduing Technique is of unknown origin, and it is unclear whether it is related to the legendary Baoding. However, the unwavering will to subdue demons and eliminate evil within the martial arts is unmistakably evident, soaring straight to the heavens.

Jing Younan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his long garments flowing gracefully, his steps steady, and his eyes full of spirit

The jade coffin is crystal clear, adorned with various naturally formed ethereal patterns resembling mandalas and lotus flowers, with radiant light flowing and celestial sounds resonating. In the center of the coffin lies a woman, quietly resting, her eyes tightly closed and utterly motionless

When there are anomalies, they are considered strange; this term 'strange' does not refer to monsters, but rather to unusual occurrences. In the eyes of ordinary people, unusual occurrences are best avoided and kept at a distance. However, for cultivators, unusual occurrences often contain unexpected opportunities. It is precisely because of this speculation that he hurried over after subduing the female ghost.

Haha, it is truly exhilarating

The people of Taoyuanju, in gratitude for the great grace of the giant turtle, established a temple to worship and respectfully referred to it as "The Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens, the Infinite Town Demon."

Uncertain how much time had passed, she only felt a heaviness beneath her feet, a sense of grounding. Jing Younan opened her eyes, emerging from the fetal breathing technique.

This阴穴 measures half an acre in size. From the outside, it resembles an irregular well opening, with dense阴气 coalescing into black water beside the阴穴, bubbling outwards like a fountain

At this moment, the talisman in Jing Younan's hand was created during the time when a true immortal traveled to the extreme north, observing the spirit of the giant tortoise hill, thus developing a specialized talisman for suppressing demons and monsters. The appearance of the giant tortoise carrying the demon-suppressing monument within the talisman is precisely the true form of the legendary Demon-Suppressing Emperor.

Jing Younan, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, maneuvers freely among the spirits, skillfully engaging and disengaging, creating a grand spectacle with an imposing presence

"Without entering the tiger's den, how can one catch the tiger cub?" As she recalled the despair of facing certain death in her previous life, Jing Younan's expression became resolute, cutting through all hesitation and cowardice, leaving only an unwavering desire for power. With protective talismans surrounding her, she leaped into the shadowy pit, her body slowly sinking downwards

Everywhere there are fist-sized stones, covered with honeycomb-like holes. When the wind blows, they emit a haunting, eerie sound that sends shivers down one's spine

Upon reaching this level, in a state of daze, Jing Younan seemed to perceive a powerful and authoritative intention that transcended time and space. The sounds of morning bells and evening drums resonated within his heart, while the chanting of scriptures rose and fell, conveying the supreme teachings of the Dao and the path of demons returning to the fold

Jing Younan held his breath, feeling an unbearable sense of oppression in the dead silence of the space. His heart was pounding uncontrollably, and he even doubted that if he opened his mouth, his heart would leap out on its own.

The Demon Techniques of Baoding Town consist of three forms, characterized by a domineering and fierce approach. Although they lack variation, their straightforwardness makes them particularly suitable for dealing with the surrounding fragile spirits.

This stone is known as Ghost Language Stone, formed from pure yin energy corrosion. The most famous example is Ghost Cry Mountain in the chaotic stone ridge of western Sichuan, with its towering peaks entirely composed of Ghost Language Stone, where the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling can be heard year-round, making it a well-known perilous area in the region

The old house on the back mountain is filled with a heavy atmosphere, and the cold wind is biting

After three years of cultivating the fetal breathing technique, Jing Younan's physique became exceptionally perfect. His control over the muscles and skin far surpassed that of the strongmen in the observatory, and even the Taoists in the observatory could not compare.

The entrance to the阴穴 is not large, but the space below is quite spacious and tight. The pure阴 and water have formed various shapes, resembling fierce tigers, black dragons, night demons, and asuras. Various阴 and water ice sculptures hang around, and being in this place feels as if one has entered the legendary Yama's treasure hall, evoking a sense of terror and eeriness

In the vast stone chamber lies a jade coffin, surrounded by countless black lotus flowers that create illusions of various incredible scenes, including hell, the Yellow Springs, and the netherworld, as if there are worlds transforming before one's eyes

What an impressive and strange jade coffin

Three Elements of the Universe, True Unity of the Void, the Return of One Yang, Spring in Heaven and Earth

A six-petaled mandala flower bloomed on her smooth forehead, both sacred and enchanting

The passage is straight, without the slightest curve, as if measured with a ruler

The stone chamber and the jade coffin are indeed eerie and oppressive, a sight that Jing Younan would never wish to encounter again in his lifetime. However, he did not notice that after he took the jade ruler, the long eyelashes of the woman in the coffin trembled slightly, and the malevolence in the stone chamber thickened a few degrees.

Ordinary demons, upon hearing the renowned name of the Demon Suppressing Emperor, are filled with fear and flee in disarray

The ominous energy crystallizes into ice flowers, blooming one after another, an endless sight to behold. Even with the protection of spiritual talismans, Jing Younan still feels a penetrating chill, her teeth chattering incessantly.

With a heart of decisiveness, to safeguard the essence of the Daoist sect and to educate the world, this is the true intention of the Daoist treasure tripod in suppressing demons and monsters

As the Great Turtle Technique was being successfully completed and preparations were made to turn back, a sudden thunderclap echoed through the clear sky. My master suffered a great calamity, their soul shattered and vanished without a trace.

The Demon-Slaying and Exorcism Techniques of Baoding Town

In a post-apocalyptic world filled with hunger, panic, and disaster, even the kind and ordinary individuals gradually become ruthless and unfeeling. Ultimately, those who survive are the strong in this regard

Beside the dark cavity, there are still four white, lifeless skeletons, their flesh long since eroded by the chill of death, presenting a ghastly and terrifying sight. These should be the remains of four mighty warriors.

What is this

It is said that in the far north, there once existed demons that ravaged the land, feeding on humans and acting with impunity. Later, a powerful individual took decisive action, using great magical abilities to forge a stone tablet to suppress demons. This tablet was carried by their spirit beast, a giant tortoise, to the northern region, where it subdued the demons and restored peace to the land.
