Chu Zhiyuan said, "This is quite a coincidence, isn’t it? Almost the same position as before?"

"Two mountains apart," Huang Zhengyang said with a sullen face. "I suspect these places particularly attract the Undying Evil Venerable."

"It’s actually a good thing," Chu Zhiyuan replied.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Easier to discover them?"

"Hasn’t the Evil Extermination Department tried to see if they could predict their landing spots?"

Huang Zhengyang frowned, "We’ve hypothesized a few spots, but manpower is limited; we can’t guard them all."

"Guard the places where the probability of appearance is highest and just focus on a few."

"Yes, we’re already making predictions, but it’s not that easy."

"The Court should have such Treasures, right?"

"Even if they have such Treasures, they won’t let us use them; they’re often used to predict natural disasters."

"That’s true."

As they were talking, the Golden Sword suddenly appeared before the shining statue.

It pierced straight into the statue’s forehead, and then golden light burst forth, like a sun falling before their eyes.

"Ah..."

"My eyes..."

"Ah!"

...

Cries of pain echoed, a cacophony of wailing.

Everyone covered their eyes, unable to help but scream as the golden light stabbed at them.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The Golden Sword lightly grazed the statue, no longer cutting straight lines as before, but forming a few ripples, like river water, harmonious and smooth, imbued with the marvelous rhythm of nature.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Recently, the Golden Sword has not only gained more Spirit but also increased intelligence, with a deeper understanding of the natural world.

Now, destroying the Undying Evil Venerable Statue seemed effortless, unlike before when it had to force its way through.

"Ah—!"

"Ah—! Ah—!"

...

The screams intensified.

Thousands screamed together, creating an extremely tragic atmosphere.

They screamed as if they were the ones being killed.

Meanwhile, the sixteen middle-aged men lying on the ground sprang up, their eyes shining.

They glared angrily, watching the statue’s golden light quickly dim, and then "bang," it turned into a puff of dust, carried away by the mountain wind.

The statue had turned into ashes.

A long howl immediately rang out.

They couldn’t contain their excitement, howling to the sky.

The howl was like rolling spring thunder, shaking the surroundings.

In the distance, Huang Zhengyang laughed, "This is their release."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The Golden Sword elegantly and gracefully floated back, sheathing itself.

Huang Zhengyang laughed, "Your sword has become more arrogant now."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

If it were earlier, the Golden Sword would have hovered in midair, showing off a bit.

Now it was calm, as if having done something insignificant.

This difference was not just Character, but because it truly felt it was simple.

Huang Zhengyang looked at the thousands still screaming in the distance and shook his head, "Will they be okay?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "With the injuries they sustained, they’ll probably be in pain for a while."

His expression suddenly changed slightly.

Huang Zhengyang quickly asked, "What is it?"

Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, flipped his hands quickly to form a handprint, and pointed up above the statue, like an immortal pointing the way.

Huang Zhengyang sensed a wave of Abnormal Energy instantly darting out, rushing towards that stretch of sky.

He glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, seeing Chu Zhiyuan’s expression solemn and focused, his gaze fixed intently on that part of the sky.

So he also concentrated and looked over.

At first glance, there was nothing, just an empty Void.

But he didn’t believe that Chu Zhiyuan would point there for no reason, staring like that; there must be something strange.

So he channeled his True Yuan and activated his secret technique—the Illusion-breaking Eye.

Vaguely, he saw a shimmering autumn water appear in that patch of Void.

This autumn water formed a ten-meter diameter circle, clear and bright.

He suddenly felt the aura around Chu Zhiyuan change.

It was as if a mountain peak rose right in front of him.

Then Chu Zhiyuan changed his handprint, once more pointing towards that part of the Void.

The autumn water rippled gently.

As if fish had stirred the clear waves, it became intense.

He concentrated again, channeling his True Yuan, staring fixatedly at the autumn water.

He saw the autumn water surging, then slowly shrink, getting smaller and smaller, eventually turning into a round bead.

The fist-sized round bead, crystal clear, emitted a soft, warm glow.

It then shot up into the sky, breaking through, and was gone.

He watched until it disappeared, then withdrew his gaze back to Chu Zhiyuan.

Finding that Chu Zhiyuan’s aura also changed, ethereal like a misty cloud.

He furrowed his brows, sensing something was amiss.

In front of him, Chu Zhiyuan was rapidly becoming ethereal and swiftly turning into nothingness. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

It was as if the Essence Qi around him was quickly dissipating, leaving only an empty shell.

His expression changed slightly, controlling his anxiety as he solemnly looked into the distance.

He saw sixteen middle-aged men approaching, intending to pay their respects.

He quickly waved his hand to signal them to stay away.

The sixteen middle-aged men halted abruptly, descending onto a mountain peak, observing from afar.

Huang Zhengyang sent a Sound Transmission into Secret: "Don’t come over and disturb us yet. First, calm the people and escort them back to the city."

"Yes."

The sixteen middle-aged men cupped their fists in respect.

Huang Zhengyang looked around cautiously, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Chu Zhiyuan.

He discovered that Chu Zhiyuan appeared even more ethereal, as if he had completely vanished.

Closing his eyes would make him feel like there was no one in front of him; his keen senses couldn’t capture any trace.

...

Chu Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes.

His aura quickly reassembled.

To Huang Zhengyang, it felt like a mountain descending from the sky, landing right in front of him.

He quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Ascension Technique," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "So this is how the Ascension Technique is used."

"Brother Chu, you used the Ascension Technique?"

"Yes, I just used it once."

"What was the result?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "I have already destroyed the main body of that guy."

Huang Zhengyang’s spirit lifted, and he quickly said, "Wasn’t it just supposed to attach to their bodies to gather information?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That’s one way to use it, and then there’s this way."

"So that’s for gathering information, and this is for attacking the enemy?"

"Exactly."

"Haha, marvelous, this Ascension Technique has such a wonderful use, we have hope of exterminating the Undying Evil Venerable!"

Huang Zhengyang clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

"The Undying Evil Venerable in You Meng Heaven is equivalent to a Perfect Venerable of Biyuan Heaven; their numbers are limited."

After a few Undying Evil Venerables perish, the others will recognize the danger.

They were so reckless and brazen because even if they fell here, it wouldn’t harm their main bodies.

Now their descent could endanger their main bodies.

Do they dare to continue descending recklessly?

Even as Undying Evil Venerables, do they dare to take such a risk?

He believed they wouldn’t dare.

He estimated that killing a dozen or so Undying Evil Venerables would deter any more from descending.

Thinking of this, he became even more excited, raising his head and letting out a long howl.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother Huang, let’s continue."

"Let’s go!" Huang Zhengyang said excitedly, "The next one is Five Flower Peak."

...

In the afterglow of the sunset, the sky was draped in colorful radiance, painting the earth red.

Chu Zhiyuan stood on a mountain peak, his handprint breaking apart, his eyes shining brightly.

"Brother Chu, this is the sixth one!"

Huang Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

Having vanquished six Undying Evil Venerables in one go, he not only didn’t feel exhausted but was even more energetic than before.

It wasn’t just that he consumed little, nor that the Ascension Technique could replenish his spirit, but rather the wondrous utility of the Heavenly Yuan Technique.

Once the ancestral acupoint was activated, his spiritual power flowed endlessly.

This counted as truly utilizing the marvelous effects of the Heavenly Yuan Technique.

Since mastering the Heavenly Yuan Technique, there have been few opportunities to apply it so effectively.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Brother Chu, take a break. We’ve nearly finished them off; tomorrow will be a tough battle."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Those three working together?"

"Yes, they’re quite troublesome, ... and then there’s that one that has disappeared." Huang Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Without news, it’s even more nerve-wracking."

"Spread today’s news, it might have some effect," Chu Zhiyuan suggested.

"I plan to do just that," Huang Zhengyang smiled and said, "We’ll see if they fear death!"

He was sure that if the news spread, it would definitely alarm You Meng Heaven.

Once the Evil Demons knew the news, they would pass it to the Evil Venerables, who would then spread it further, and those Undying Evil Venerables would become aware of it.

If they don’t believe it, let them test it out.

After a few more Undying Evil Venerables die, they’ll likely become compliant.

It might even affect the Evil Venerables.

Could we also eradicate the Evil Venerables?

Thinking of this, he grew even more excited: "Brother Chu, this time we’re going big, let’s eliminate all the Undying Evil Venerables and the Evil Venerables."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, smiling: "The Undying Evil Venerables are fine, but the Evil Venerables... that’s difficult."

In Da Jing and Da Meng of Little Outer Heaven, he accomplished this feat, but in Biyuan Heaven, it’s almost impossible.

Biyuan Heaven is too vast, its territory too expansive, and the Evil Sect is concealed.

It’s impossible for him to traverse the whole of it, comb through it thoroughly.
