Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The Left Divine Envoy acknowledged this with a nod, settled back into his chair, surveyed the room, and then said in a deep voice, "As you all know, the Nine Yin Abyss is the foundation of our Divine Sect. Only the endless supply of Three Life Water from that place can provide the inherited divine beast with inexhaustible power, thereby ensuring that our Divine Sect remains prosperous and strong.

"Where is the Nine Yin Abyss? Many followers believe it to be deep beneath the Armory Cave under the Divine Beast Hall. But that is not the case. The Black Water Pool in the Armory Cave leads to an underground abyss, and this abyss is connected to the Nine Yin Abyss. However, the Three Life Water does not automatically flow into the underground abyss. Only by adopting sacrificial methods similar to those used in the Netherworld Cave can the Nine Yin Abyss be made to spew a small amount of Three Life Water into the underground abyss, and from there it enters the Black Water Pool. The inherited divine beast lies dormant within this underground abyss.

"So, where is the Nine Yin Abyss? To put it plainly, the Nine Yin Abyss is just a hidden underground river. It stretches a very long distance, extending from Candle Yin Valley all the way to the foot of Profound Yin Mountain, nearly two million miles in length. Of course, most of this underground river is buried very deep, beyond the reach of any cultivator. Only two sections are relatively close to the surface, one below Candle Yin Valley and the other below Profound Yin Mountain.

"Relatively speaking, the underground river beneath Profound Yin Mountain is much shallower than the one beneath Candle Yin Valley. Therefore, in the past, our Divine Sect obtained Three Life Water from the Profound Yin Mountain side. At that time, there was no need for sacrifices. One could simply take a path leading to the depths of the earth, reach the vicinity of the Nine Yin Abyss, and directly draw water. This path is located in the Profound Yin Cave of Profound Yin Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing immediately looked enlightened. Only something related to the Three Life Water would cause the Candle Divine Sect to hold a grudge against a Taoist cave heaven blessed with a major spiritual node for thousands of years.

The others, such as the Lan Kui Song siblings, Chang Guangming, and Quan Youxuan, also showed expressions of sudden understanding.

"Later, the Star Moon Gate's founding ancestor, True Person Kui Yin, appeared - well, back then he was called Wei Congdao. He accidentally emerged from the Netherworld Cave and was favored by the then Sect Leader, who used him to handle several matters, with excellent results. The Sect Leader was very satisfied and thus gave him an opportunity, opening the 'Yin Yang Eye,' a Taoist secret realm controlled by our Divine Sect, and allowed him to enter. This person was incredibly lucky. He came out after only nine days, obtaining a wisp of Three Yang Fire, which laid the foundation for his breakthrough to the Core Formation stage."

At this point, the Left Divine Envoy glanced meaningfully at Fire Crow Taoist and continued, "Subsequently, Wei Congdao, on the grounds that he lacked a foundation, requested to borrow the major spiritual node of Profound Yin Mountain. In reality, with the opportunity he had obtained, he did not need a major spiritual node at all to successfully break through. When he made this request, he intended to swindle away Profound Yin Mountain as the foundation for establishing his own sect. The Sect Leader at the time was very strong and confident that he could control him, so he casually agreed.

"After several years, Wei Congdao proposed that the comings and goings of Divine Sect members at Profound Yin Mountain were too noisy, and because the place was a rare cave heaven blessed land, Taoist cultivators were always coveting it, leading to conflicts with Divine Sect members. He suggested that he use the mountain's spiritual veins to set up a mountain protection array. This would reduce the number of guards needed, prevent prying eyes from seeing the mountain, and create a peaceful environment for him to break through as soon as possible and serve the Divine Sect. The Sect Leader at the time thought he made a good point and agreed.

"Wei Congdao then spent ten years building a large array on Profound Yin Mountain, taking advantage of the mountain's natural features and covering the entire mountain. This indeed prevented other Taoist cultivators from trying to seize Profound Yin Mountain, but it also sowed the seeds for Wei Congdao's seizure of the mountain. Thirty years later, after breaking through to the Core Formation stage and stabilizing his cultivation, he immediately turned against the Divine Sect, killing all the Divine Sect members guarding Profound Yin Cave, sealing the array, and then calling on his friends and associates, bringing in the forces he had long cultivated into the mountain, quickly forming a defensive force to confront the Divine Sect.

"The Sect Leader at the time was furious upon learning of this. He led three Incarnation Realm True Devils, over fifty Saint Core Realm experts, and one hundred thousand elite Divine Sect members in a large-scale attack on Profound Yin Mountain. Who would have thought that Wei Congdao's array formation skills were so formidable that he extracted the Yin Yang Fiend Energy from the mountain's underground, forming Yin Yang Fiend Light, causing heavy casualties to the Divine Sect members. The Sect Leader at the time was injured as a result, contracted an illness, and died more than ten years later."

The Left Divine Envoy sighed deeply, slightly easing his low mood, and his voice gradually became louder: "Hearing this piece of history, which is not glorious for our Divine Sect, I think everyone feels as angry and heartbroken as Lu! The Sect Leader at the time was indeed at fault in this matter, but it was more a matter of insufficient knowledge and underestimation of the special nature of Profound Yin Mountain.

"The special thing about Profound Yin Mountain is that beneath it, above are the spiritual veins and the major spiritual node, and below is the Nine Yin Abyss. This Nine Yin Abyss is not the Yin of Yin Yang in spiritual energy, but specifically refers to Three Life Water. What is Three Life Water? It is the gathering of the death energy, decay energy, and darkness energy of a world, forging them into one, and from this, things turn from extreme to the opposite, transforming into vigorous vitality, the so-called Three Life Energy. From death to life, equal to from Yin to Yang, hence the name Nine Yin Abyss, taking the meaning of the extreme of Yin turning to Yang, the extreme of death turning to life.

"If you fly high enough in the desolate and dead zone, you will see lightning flashing, flowing fire rushing, and rain and mist spreading above. That is the change formed by the interaction of turbid energy and spiritual energy. If you crash into it, it is almost impossible to survive. And in the underground of Profound Yin Mountain, it is the Three Life Water and the spiritual veins that stimulate each other, producing Yin Yang Fiend Energy. What is Yin Yang Fiend Energy? In fact, it is unstable pure Yang energy and profound Yin energy!"

Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, who were listening attentively, suddenly shuddered. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The Left Divine Envoy smiled and said, "Speaking of pure Yang energy and profound Yin energy, Fire Envoy and Deputy Envoy Zhang must know more about it. Why not ask the two of you to explain a few words?"

Fire Crow Taoist suppressed his trembling emotions and forced himself to remain calm as he said, "Left Divine Envoy, you flatter me. These two things are heaven and earth wonders that Taoism admires. They have always been passed down by word of mouth, but I have not heard of anyone who has seen them with their own eyes. Whether it is profound Yin energy or pure Yang energy, both are the strongest forms of spiritual energy, one rigid and one soft. When the two energies combine, if done properly, they can produce a kind of innate primordial energy. If a Core Formation cultivator obtains a small amount, they can enter the Core Formation stage; if a Core Formation cultivator obtains a sufficient amount, they can advance to the Incarnation stage."

The Left Divine Envoy shook his head regretfully: "Unfortunately, the pure Yang energy and profound Yin energy produced by the Three Life Water and spiritual veins are extremely unstable and cannot be combined at all. Otherwise, the Divine Sect would not be reluctant to give this opportunity to the two envoys."

Zhang Yuanjing only sighed slightly upon hearing these words, while Fire Crow Taoist clearly showed disappointment.

The Left Divine Envoy continued, "Of course, if Fire Envoy takes a fancy to the 'Yin Yang Eye' secret realm controlled by my Divine Sect, you can enter it at any time to explore. The Sect Leader has already given instructions on this. That Xing Guanghan will also enter this secret realm."

Fire Crow Taoist immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhang Xuan: "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your kindness! This humble Taoist is extremely grateful!"

Zhang Xuan nodded and smiled: "This is what Fire Envoy deserves. The two envoys have made great contributions to the Divine Sect in overcoming difficulties and moving towards rejuvenation. The 'Yin Yang Eye' secret realm is just a small token of our appreciation."
