Chapter 242

Shi Xuan was having an extremely difficult time in the depths of the Earth Lungs. The Earth Fiend Yin Fire that possessed intelligence continuously danced around him, devouring the green flames released by the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner as if it had seen an incomparably delicious meal.

Just now, in order to avoid Xiao Chuhe's pursuit, Shi Xuan had gone all the way down. Using the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer's special feature, he had reached the deepest part of the Earth Lungs, hiding in the area where the Yin Fire Streamer's power was mixed.

However, no matter how well the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer fit in with the environment here, it only had five layers of restrictions, which had been devouring the Yin Fire Streamer's Yin Fire Streamer continuously, making it look like it was about to collapse.

Shi Xuan had no choice but to activate the restrictions of the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer with all of his power, releasing the green Yin Fire Streamer without caring about the consequences, in order to satisfy those greedy spiritual flames. Above him, Xiao Chuhe had been attacking nonstop, trying to force him out. Even the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer with the power of a Second Tribulation Sun God had been extinguished quite a bit.

After struggling for more than ten breaths of time, Shi Xuan had finally sensed Xiao Chuhe's departure. The flame released by the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer was only left with a thin layer, which could be devoured by the spiritual flames at any moment.

Shi Xuan was preparing to go up. Right now, with the Tai Chi Art covering the sky and covering his aura, as long as Xiao Chuhe stopped chasing him, it would be hard for him to catch up with him again. He had to take advantage of the last ten breaths of time when the Broken Jade Spell was still in effect to run as far away as he could, then find another hidden place to hide.

However, Shi Xuan had only been going up for a second when he felt those spiritual flames following him like a shadow. Once they finished devouring the green flame of the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Streamer, he would be the one suffering.

Therefore, Shi Xuan made up his mind immediately. A green light flashed on the small black streamer, then eighty-one green flames appeared without a sound. They moved like water, bringing up ripples and spreading out in all directions, causing those spiritual flames to split up and devour them, leaving the area around Shi Xuan empty.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Black and White Light shone as Shi Xuan rushed out of the depths of the Earth Lungs under the protection of the Tai Chi Art. He arrived at the Yin Fire Belt that had been extinguished by Xiao Chuhe before, then randomly found a crack to the east and entered. While hiding his aura and hiding his aura, his flying light had also reached its maximum potential.

Shi Xuan changed seven to eight cracks consecutively. After a few breaths, he rushed out of the underground and arrived at the East Sea Trench. He was surrounded by dark blue seawater that was almost black, as well as huge deep-sea beasts.

At this moment, the remaining time of Shi Xuan's Broken Jade Spell was not enough for him to fly up into the sky and hide from the ground layer to find a hiding place in the void universe.

Therefore, Shi Xuan continued heading east, traveling at a high speed in the ocean. In just a couple of breaths, Shi Xuan had arrived at the surface of the sea. This was the depths of the East Ocean, more than a hundred thousand miles away from the Flying Courtyard, far beyond the coverage of Xiao Chuhe's spirit power.

Finding an island with only ordinary beasts, Shi Xuan waved his hand and arranged a qi isolation spell. He then pointed at the Tai Chi Art, and countless Black and White Light flew out of it, turning into one after another restrictions and merging into the spell he had just set up. It could effectively hide from the heavens. Although it was not as good as using the Tai Chi Art directly, it was enough since he was so far away from Xiao Chuhe. After all, the power of the Tai Chi Art would be greatly reduced, and its effect would not be much different from this restriction.

…

After making all these arrangements, Shi Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He sat in the center of the spell and waited for three breaths of time. Then, he realized that his Yuan spirit had become extremely weak, with only less than ten percent of its power left to use. Of course, with the advantage in principle and the suppression in cultivation, Shi Xuan could still face opponents below the Yuan spirit realm with ease.

"After forming the Yuan spirit, using the Broken Jade Spell will not be as simple as reducing the source." When Shi Shuan checked his own Primordial Spirit, he had a feeling that his first heaven's punishment would come 30 years in advance, which was consistent with the record on the jade slip of Suiyu Tactics.

Under the Yuan spirit realm, using the Broken Jade Spell would burn the source, which would reduce one's lifespan to a certain extent. Shi Xuan had the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle to make up for the source, so his lifespan would be reduced very little, only a few years at a time, unlike others who would start from ten years.

However, after reaching the Yuan spirit realm, the source would have been completely integrated into the Yuan spirit. Using the Broken Jade Spell would be burning the Yuan spirit, which was similar to the great beasts and bodhisattvas burning their bodies and golden bodies. It would bring a certain period of weakness, as well as cause the heavenly tribulation to come earlier. This was something that the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle could not make up for.

Currently, the Broken Jade Spell could only be used once, and not consecutively, thirty years earlier. If it was used consecutively, the second time would be a hundred years, and the third time would be three hundred years. Once the Broken Jade Spell became an immortal spell, then using it once would bring the heavenly tribulation sixty years earlier.

However, Shi Xuan did not care too much about this. There were still many ways to delay the heavenly tribulation for thirty years, and it was easy to find. There were even ways to delay one or two thousand years.

Under normal circumstances, Shi Xuan estimated that if he did not suppress the cultivation of the Yuan spirit, the first heavenly tribulation would come in about five hundred years, and after passing the first heavenly tribulation, there was a chance to directly trigger the next one. As long as he slightly suppressed the cultivation speed of the Yuan spirit, the heavenly tribulation could be delayed for at least a hundred years, so thirty years was really nothing.

After adapting to the sudden reduction of strength, Shi Xuan took out the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle and drank the only drop of sweet dew. Even if it could not delay the arrival of the heavenly tribulation, it could make up for the weakness of the Yuan spirit and restore his strength in advance.

The Yin and Yang Qi Bottle had already evolved into a shapeshifting treasure, and the best sweet dew it could turn into could reduce the time that Shi Xuan could only use ten percent of his power to three days, and fifty percent of his power to seven days. Of course, in order to turn into one drop of this kind of sweet dew, one would need to be at least a Yin God Master, or a similar Martial Saint or Arhat.

Right now, all the essence in the bottle could only turn into one drop of sweet dew. Therefore, Shi Xuan had turned his attention to those huge deep sea beasts he had seen in the East Sea Trench. They were all very powerful, but because of their huge bodies, their intelligence was not that high. Therefore, even if they were at the level of rank seven beasts, they would not be able to transform and gain intelligence, unless one day, they managed to turn into a great beast body.

After drinking this drop of sweet dew, Shi Xuan felt that the weakness of his Yuan spirit had improved a lot. He could not help but think about how dangerous it was just now.

If he and Jian Tonghui did not make the decision to run away immediately, and instead fought with Xiao Chuhe arrogantly, then the chances of them dying would be more than seventy percent. After all, Xiao Chuhe had occupied the Flying Courtyard for hundreds of years, and he had often asked Jian Tonghui about the method to go through the third heavenly tribulation. Therefore, he knew exactly how much power Jian Tonghui had left.

This point had been made clear by the fact that Xiao Chuhe had come back without any hesitation. Because, if he was not sure of Jian Tonghui's remaining power, even the slightest mistake would allow someone to open the immortal talisman. Facing a Three Tribulation Yang God, it would be a dead end for him. Moreover, he had sensed Jian Tonghui later on, so he had also attacked without any worries.

In this way, coupled with the fact that Xiao Chuhe had already discovered Shi Xuan, the two could not act like how they had dealt with the Withered Leaf Old Monk, where Jian Tonghui used his identity as a Three Tribulation Yang God to exert pressure from the front and attract his attention. Then, Shi Xuan would be able to deceive the heavenly secret and launch a sneak attack, injuring him severely and taking the initiative.

In addition, Xiao Chuhe must have a secret art similar to the Broken Jade Spell. Once he used it, he would have the power of a Three Tribulation Earth Immortal. Moreover, he did not have a big hidden danger like the Withered Leaf Old Monk. In a situation where Jian Tonghui's Yang God was extremely weak and could not burst out, he had ninety percent confidence in beating the two, and seventy percent confidence in killing all of them.

On the other hand, when he was being chased by Xiao Chuhe, Shi Xuan always had a lot of confidence in his heart, which came from his confidence in the Tai Chi Art. The only thing he was not sure about was whether he could get rid of Xiao Chuhe before the effect of the Broken Jade Spell disappeared. If he could get rid of it, he would live; if he could not, he would die.

In the end, Shi Xuan managed to get rid of Xiao Chuhe through the special effect of the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner in the Earth Lung.

…

Thinking of the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner, Shi Xuan moved his thoughts, and the small black banner appeared in Shi Xuan's palm. It was not as cold and deep as it used to be, looking dim and weak.

"That last burst of the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner drew away those spiritual flames. It seems like its Yuan spirit has been severely injured. I am afraid it will not be able to be used again without one or two hundred years of nourishment." Shi Xuan looked at the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner and silently evaluated. He had paid a lot in this trip to the Yuanmang Great World.

His Magic Weapon was damaged and he had paid a great price, but Shi Xuan was in a good mood. He had gained a lot this time. Not to mention the Cosmic Stars Swordsmanship he would get after returning to the Tongtian World, the Vajra Glazed Fairy Talisman alone was a priceless treasure for Yang Gods, Bodhisattvas, Great Demons, and Earthly Immortals who had gone through the third Heavenly Tribulation. It was something they could exchange for with everything they had.

On this point, Shi Xuan believed that Jian Tonghui would not lie to him, and Monk Ku Ye's attitude towards the Diamond Glaze Immortal Talisman was proof of this.

"I didn't expect this Immortal Talisman to have such a mysterious effect during the third Heavenly Tribulation. Then my strongest trump card is no longer a means of mutual destruction!" Shi Xuan took out the golden Talisman and thought to himself as he looked at it.

The Diamond Glaze Immortal Talisman had not been activated yet. Other than the six big words "Mani Mani Padmi Hum", which seemed more and more profound the more he looked at it, it was just an ordinary Talisman.

Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit slowly landed on the Diamond Glaze Immortal Talisman, and immediately felt that it was isolated by the solemn and compassionate aura around it. However, Shi Xuan was not anxious, and only interacted with the aura with his Primordial Spirit, allowing it to slowly get used to it.

After two hours, the aura gradually stopped rejecting Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit. Only then did Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit slowly penetrate into the Immortal Talisman, and he sensed a trace of solemn spirituality.

After another two hours of connecting with the spirituality, Shi Xuan moved his mind, and the Diamond Glaze Immortal Talisman automatically entered the Yin Yang Double Qi Bottle, no longer isolating Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit and Immortal Techniques.

Things like Immortal Talismans were not like magic treasures, which had to be controlled by the core and the various layers of restrictions. As long as the spirituality inside was connected, it could be used at will. Of course, it was also easy for others to snatch it.

After connecting with the spirituality, Shi Xuan also confirmed the use of the mysteries mentioned by Jian Tonghui.
