Cultivation Helped by Ancestors-Chapter 229 - 200: Evil Wind Yin Fire Tribulation

Anyone who wants to transcend life and death will inevitably face the ’gaze’ from the Nine Netherworld, a special Earth Realm.

Zhang Jian, however, didn’t think too much of it. After his Yin Spirit emerged, he already sensed a danger approaching.

But what followed was a thundering roar across the sky.

"The Evil Wind is coming!"

Zhang Jian was well-prepared. Just as a shadowy figure began to gather above his head, nine-colored divine light formed in front of him.

First came the Map of Mountains and Rivers, a Dao Map transformed into a Nine-Colored Society and State Robe to protect his body. Then, blue lotus flowers appeared underfoot.

The Soul Purifying Talisman flew out, merging into his Yin Spirit, transforming his appearance to resemble the Celestial Venerable of Ten Directions Redemption, with pure divine light emerging from behind.

Infinite Light was born.

The wind blowing from above was also halted.

But in an instant, a fragment of void seemed to shatter inside the small shrine, as a blazing light burst open from above Zhang Jian’s head, and a cold fire emerged from his crown, forming a gigantic grindstone pattern.

Within the grindstone pattern, one of the six compartments opened, allowing wisps of invisible flame to infiltrate his Yin Spirit through an unseen connection, directly entering the hundred orifices of his body.

It was an extremely blazing invisible flame.

Zhang Jian finally understood what the formless Yin Fire was.

This layer of formless Yin Fire seemed to originate from the Life Plate, involving life and death, and the mysteries of Yin and Yang.

This tendril of Yin Fire couldn’t be avoided but could be suppressed.

Zhang Jian visualized the Five-Formed Sheji King Tripod, and a bronze tripod surged from deep within his soul. A powerful suppressive force erupted from the Yin Spirit, which even slowed the strength of the formless Yin Fire.

Then, from the depths of Zhang Jian’s Yin Spirit, a ball of orange-red flame emerged.

Celestial Purity Fire bloomed from within his Yin Spirit, continually refining the penetrating Yin Fire strength, converting it thoroughly into pure origin power, returning it to the depths of the Yin Spirit.

Zhang Jian had long heard the elders from the Transmission Hall mention the Yin Fire Tribulation.

This tribulation itself had some connection with the essence of the soul.

The Yin Fire was born from the soul and also burned with the soul as its origin. As long as one found a way to suppress the Yin Fire and refine it, one could pass the Yin Fire Tribulation.

After passing the Yin Fire Tribulation, the Yin Spirit would possess some resistance to the Yin Fire, enabling one to roam freely at night.

One no longer fears the Taiyin Cold Qi in the Taiyin Moonlight; instead, one can absorb the moonlight to cleanse the Yin Spirit.

The powerful Celestial Purity Fire quickly suppressed the Yin Fire.

A moment later, the cold invisible fire around Zhang Jian dissipated, and the compartments in the six-path grindstone’s shadow closed.

The scene of countless black clouds was instantly dissipated.

The dual tribulations had passed!

Without suppression of the Yin Spirit

Zhang Jian finally felt a long-lost sense of freedom and ease.

Separated from the flesh body, as if shedding all burdens, it seemed in a moment he could travel miles with his divine mind.

This was much faster than performing the Cyan Nether Wind Technique with the flesh body.

Zhang Jian knew this was no illusion.

But reality.

It’s unfortunate that the Yin Spirit has significant limitations; unless necessary, the Yin Spirit Venerable would not fly with the Yin Spirit.

The emergence of the Yin Spirit was more about utilizing Taiyin Moonlight to accelerate the growth of the Yin Spirit until it broke through the threshold and transformed into the Primordial Spirit.

Zhang Jian didn’t act recklessly by traveling with his Yin Spirit directly.

Inside the small shrine, Zhang Jian’s divine thought shifted; this layer of formless divine thought easily burst out like a storm. He sensed that if his vast divine thought were fully released, it could probably cover thousands of kilometers.

This was four to five times stronger than ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Moreover, the divine thought seemed to contain a special Heaven and Earth Legal Principle, thicker than before. Thoughts condense into form and can freely metamorphose.

This was the divine sense of a Yin Spirit Venerable.

More condensed compared to Golden Core divine thought.

It was intrinsically part of the Yin Spirit itself, showcasing its divine profundity.

However, Zhang Jian did not fully release his divine sense.

This was within Haojing City, filled with powerful individuals. If he wantonly covered with divine sense, nearby cultivators might not perceive it, but Yin Spirit Venerables and hidden Primordial Spirit powerhouses within Haojing City would certainly have a sense of it.

Zhang Jian also took a glance at the wisps of Soothing Incense in the void. Although just initial achievement in the Yin Spirit, he didn’t feel any weakness, instead robust strength.

The bright crystalline glow within his soul continually contributed to the fortification of the Yin Spirit, enhancing its origin.

His soul was indeed a treasure trove.

He wondered how powerful the fully transformed Yin Spirit might be.

With a thought, his Yin Spirit slowly returned to his body, instantly feeling a surge of vast magical power generated from the Mud Ball Palace, as if the Yin Spirit had become a new source of magical power throughout his body.

This change made Zhang Jian slightly uncomfortable, but he quickly adapted.

As Zhang Jian opened his eyes, he sensed the robust, vast magical power within his body and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Not too bad a feeling!"

Bai Xianyin, seeing this scene, appeared delighted.

"Congratulations, little master, for becoming a Yin Spirit Venerable, preliminarily escaping the cycle of life and death!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian stretched lazily, stood up, and smiled.

"Though strong, the Yin Spirit barely lasts a few moments under the mighty power of reincarnation. To claim an escape from life and death is still a far cry!"

"One can only say, after years of arduous cultivation, there’s finally a small achievement!"

Hearing this, Bai Xianyin immediately felt discouraged.

How many have cultivated for thousands of years, still struggling in the Golden Core Realm!

She too was close, having practiced in the Golden Core Realm for hundreds of years, and still far from the late stage.

Not to mention this ’small achievement’!

Bai Xianyin didn’t stay long beside Zhang Jian; she quickly returned to report to the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

Zhang Jian’s successful Divinity Transformation was great news for the Zhanmo Lineage.

...

Tongshan Dao Lineage

Tie Xin Daoist had recently been in closed cultivation. Ever since he obtained Zhang Jian’s Treasured Ink, he had resolved to meditate, hoping to use it to complete his own foundation.

But Bai Xianyin’s return forcibly disrupted his seclusion.

When he heard from Bai Xianyin that Zhang Jian successfully overcame the Wind and Fire Tribulations to become a Yin Spirit Venerable, Tie Xin Daoist couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Although he had known for a while that Zhang Jian breaking through the Yin Spirit Realm was only a matter of time, the sudden news left him with indescribable complex feelings.

However, after listening to Bai Xianyin recount the specifics, only shock remained in his heart.

"A Star River of Magic...? Where did he learn so many techniques?"

Tie Xin Daoist found it hard to believe.

He almost doubted his hearing!

Bai Xianyin responded, "According to the little master, he realized them in his spare time!"

"This..."

Tie Xin Daoist felt his head buzzing.

What kind of monster is this?

At this moment, a faint voice came from the profound void, "Alright, no need to be so surprised. Xiaowu’s unusual mark must not be spread. Especially you, Xianyin, do you understand?"

A tall figure in black magical robes, True Monarch Zhanmo, appeared from the void.

"True Monarch!"

"Senior Sister!"

The two people’s expressions changed instantly, quickly looking toward the mid-air of the main hall as True Monarch Zhanmo’s true body descended, with stern and severe features.

Bai Xianyin’s face turned pale, quickly bowing her head. She knew she had committed a taboo today.

She bowed her head, "True Monarch, I was momentarily prideful, forgetting your teachings. Please punish me!"

True Monarch Zhanmo gave Bai Xianyin a glance and coldly hummed, "If I find you spreading Ah Yu’s secrets carelessly again, beware, I will expel you from Demon-slaying Peak!"

"True Monarch, disciple knows their mistake! Disciple dares not again!"

Bai Xianyin quickly knelt down.

Tie Xin Daoist, seeing this, suggested, "Senior Sister, please spare Xianyin. She was merely delighted for Junior Zhang, and didn’t intend to divulge his Dao body’s mysteries, nor did it cause any impact!"

Hearing this, True Monarch Zhanmo lightly snorted.

"If it truly ruined Ah Yu’s Dao path, I wouldn’t forgive her!"

Seeing Tie Xin Daoist’s curious gaze, True Monarch Zhanmo did not explain and only shook her head.

"In due time, you will understand what Ah Yu’s Dao body is!"

The Ancient Saint’s Body, possessing the Clever and Exquisite Heart, naturally exhibits such extraordinariness.

Otherwise, it would not be worthy of being called a Saintly Dao Body.

A mere Yin Spirit Venerable, to someone like Zhang Jian with a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, is insignificant.

So what if there’s a Primordial Spirit Master?

Those bearing the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart all achieve remarkable accomplishments, becoming Immortal Gods is not challenging.
