Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Three days later, a green light shot out silently from the top of the holy mountain, then flashed a few times and disappeared into the nearby sky.

Not long after, in the temple on the top of the Holy Mountain of Xinggong, eighty-one clear bell sounds suddenly rang out, reaching the sky.

The sound was long and distant, like a dragon's roar, and it almost spread to every corner of Tianxing City.

Immediately afterwards, Xinggong officially announced an important news.

Yan Yun, a great monk with extraordinary strength, officially joins the Star Palace as a guest elder of the Star Palace, and will begin a hundred years of secluded practice on the Holy Mountain.

The various forces, big and small, who learned of the news, had different feelings for a moment, but not many people were too surprised.

After all, if Yan Yun had not personally taken action to kill that "Wan Tianming", it would probably be Xinggong that would have disappeared into thin air by now.

If it were any other force, when the situation in the Chaos Star Sea has not yet completely stabilized, they would probably try their best to win over this great monk who is powerful enough to intimidate the entire star sea.

However, under the watchful eyes of other forces, since Yan Yun was willing to stand up and represent Xinggong to fight against such a powerful opponent as the Anti-Star Alliance, there was no doubt that he had a close connection with Xinggong.

Therefore, it was extremely natural for him to stay here in the Star Palace.

However, as a result, those who had other intentions hidden deep in their hearts had their last ray of unrealistic fantasy completely cut off at this moment, so that the number of sects in the Inner Star Sea that announced the implementation of closure measures increased significantly.

Except for the personnel of the Star Palace who were still searching for the remnants of the Anti-Star Alliance, the major islands were actually showing a peaceful and tranquil scene.

In fact, ever since the rise of the Anti-Star Alliance, a catastrophe-like turmoil has lasted for hundreds of years in the Inner Star Sea.

In addition to this alliance and the numerous cultivators in Xing Palace who suffered heavy losses due to the struggle, other sects were also affected to varying degrees.

During this period, the number of sects destroyed and new forces emerging was countless.

Now that the Star Palace has regained its dominance over the Inner Star Sea, it is unstoppable and has this high-level cultivator as a guest elder.

These forces naturally became honest and obedient, and no one was willing to become a victim of Xinggong's display of strength.

Of course, these high-ranking officials who were fantasizing in their minds had no way of knowing that the person they feared day and night was the guest elder who seemed to be affiliated with the Star Palace.

In fact, he was not practicing in the mysterious secret room in Tianxing City. Instead, he appeared above the sea level thousands of miles away from there, turning into an elusive rainbow light soaring in the blue sky.

"I really didn't expect that Your Excellency would agree to serve as a guest elder of Xing Palace!"

"Even though the other party offered a huge reward of millions of spirit stones, I originally thought that with your personality, you would refuse it anyway."

"You have never been keen on solving complex problems!" Yan Yun heard the boy's sarcastic laughter in his ears.

"I do hate trouble, but since someone is willing to give me such a huge fortune and only needs to take up an empty position, why should I refuse it?"

"Besides, the current chaotic situation in the star sea has stabilized. Xinggong is just using my name to intimidate others."

"If I really agree to join the Star Palace and live in Tianxing City for a long time, I'm afraid those old stubborn people in the Star Palace will be restless."

Yan Yun said after giving a mocking sneer.

"That makes sense! With your current cultivation strength, it is not difficult to force your way into the Star Palace."

"As long as we eliminate all the elders first and cultivate a group of loyal confidants, it will only take two to three hundred years for Xinggong to become the territory of the Yan family."

The young man seemed very familiar with this method and smiled nonchalantly.

"Humph, if I don't yearn to ascend to the spirit world, and just want to establish a sect in the human world, then this idea is indeed quite attractive."

"Otherwise, why should I spend my time and energy on these meaningless things? It will only waste my precious time for cultivation!"

Yan Yun was extremely indifferent to the young man's suggestion, as if he had no interest in it at all.

"I deeply admire your steadfast determination to seek the truth!"

"If I were faced with such a huge foundation, I would probably not be able to resist the temptation and would be unable to resist taking it for myself."

"Are all of you monks who have ascended from the lower realms so strong and determined?"

The young man was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yan is not a saint. Facing such a huge foundation of Xing Palace, it would be hypocritical to say that I have no desire to be tempted."

"But now I will never waste any time on these illusory things."

"Fellow Daoist, as a spiritual beast of heaven and earth, your life span is much longer than mine, so you naturally won't take a few hundred years seriously."

Yan Yun's eyes flickered and he responded in a calm tone.

"That makes sense. However, it is a pity that you still cannot take the Yuanci Mountain with you in the end."

"That's fine. I'll just keep this mountain in the Star Palace for now. It won't escape on its own. I can take it back when I really need to practice."

"The only troubling thing is that I didn't expect the mountain to be so difficult to control. I tried many methods but failed to reduce its size."

Yan Yun frowned slightly.

"Indeed, you have tried many methods during the few days you were in the mountain. This mountain is almost immune to water and fire, and is not damaged by swords. Various spells and incantations have no effect on it."

"It seems that such items should not exist in the human world."

The boy also looked deep in thought.

"However, you seem to have mentioned that if you have a powerful space magic weapon, you can take the entire mountain into it."

Yan Yun suddenly asked such a question.

"Island Master Yan referring to the Qiankun belt on my body? Could it be that you have such a treasure? But please tell me that ordinary space instruments and treasures can never contain this Yuanci Mountain."

The boy asked back in confusion.

"There is no complete one, but there is still half one. I just remembered this thing recently. Maybe I can use it to move this mountain." Yan Yun pondered for a moment and answered slowly.

"Half?" The boy was slightly surprised at this moment.

Yan Yun smiled indifferently, then tapped the storage bag with one hand. In an instant, a black light flashed out, and a strange object appeared before his eyes.

It was actually the damaged Black Wind Flag.

This treasure is a powerful space magic treasure, which can easily accommodate the Yuanci Mountain. However, only a small part of the flag remains. No wonder Yan Yun called it half.

Seeing this object appear, the boy exclaimed softly, and then a ball of green light flew out from Yan Yun's sleeve, and in an instant it turned into a phantom of the boy, who stretched out his hand and gently waved at the object in Yan Yun's hand.

Half of the black wind flag trembled slightly and flew towards the shadow in an instant. The boy caught it steadily and looked down at it carefully.

"This item should have originally been a spiritual treasure. Space-type spiritual treasures are quite rare even in the spiritual world. However, it is a pity that this treasure has been damaged to this extent." After checking it over and over for a while, the boy returned the item to Yan Yun and said seriously.

"Based on your knowledge, do you think it is possible to repair this treasure?"

Yan Yun did not respond to the boy's question, but asked directly.

"Since this treasure once reached the level of a spiritual treasure, it is naturally not easy to completely repair it."

"However, if we re-refine it and make it into a relatively low-level space treasure, it is not impossible."

"As far as I know, there is a space treasure called 'Red Soul Banner', which is quite similar to this flag and can be refined into this treasure. However..."

When the boy said this, his tone paused.

"But why?" Yan Yun couldn't help but ask.

"However, if you want to refine this banner, the other auxiliary materials required can still be obtained. With your status, you can naturally obtain them easily."

"Only by refining this banner can a large number of living souls be sacrificed to unleash its maximum power."

"Its power depends on the number of souls sacrificed. This item is one of the seven evil weapons of the spirit world that I mentioned to you. It is indeed an extremely bloody item."

"Given your determination to bring this flag into Yuanci Mountain, this will never happen unless you have millions of souls to devour."

"As for changing this flag into another type of spatial treasure, it is not impossible, but the required materials may not be gathered in this world."

"Only if the materials used in the Scarlet Soul Banner match most of this flag, can it be successfully refined. Otherwise, even the Scarlet Soul Banner cannot be refined in this world."

The boy narrated with a solemn look.

"Does it actually require such a huge soul?"

After hearing this description, Yan Yun's face turned pale.

"Haha, what I just said is already a very conservative estimate."

"If you want the Scarlet Soul Banner to show its true power, I'm afraid it will require at least hundreds of millions of souls to support it."

"However, if you just want to wear this rare treasure, you can moderately reduce the requirements."

“In fact, although the Scarlet Soul Banner is not a treasure of heaven and earth, its value should not be underestimated, especially the unique spatial magical power it possesses, which is enough to attract countless practitioners.”

The boy smiled slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"Billions of souls? Unless extreme measures are taken, such as destroying a town or an island for large-scale massacres, it is almost impossible to obtain such a huge number."

"Oh, maybe there is no need to do such cruel things, there are other solutions!"

Yan Yun shook his head repeatedly at first, then suddenly an idea came to him, as if he had thought of something.

"Does fellow Daoist have any other ideas?" the boy asked in astonishment.

Yan Yun did not respond to the boy's question immediately. Instead, he reached into the storage bag again. In an instant, a green light flashed, and two light green flags appeared in his hands.

These two flags were only a few inches long, but they glowed with a rich green light and were covered with mysterious runes. They were obviously extraordinary treasures.

These were the two Gui Luo Banners that he had seized during his previous trip to Da Jin, one of which had once been held by the old demon Qian himself.

The other one has been infected by evil demonic energy and transformed into a magic banner, which is now controlled by his second Nascent Soul.

"What on earth is this?"

The boy's eyes flickered, and he was obviously unfamiliar with these two flags.

This is understandable. After all, when traveling to Kunwu Mountain in the Great Jin Dynasty, the clone of the Tianlan Beast had not yet awakened its intelligence, so it naturally could not witness the process of Yan Yun subduing this treasure.

However, even so, relying on the powerful soul power emitted by the two Guiluo Banners, the boy could still sense it clearly.

"If we refine the souls on these flags again, can we use them on the Red Soul Flag?" Yan Yun asked the boy with a serious expression.

"As long as it is a pure soul, it can be used to refine the Red Soul Banner."

"But in my opinion, even though these two treasures are not as precious as the Scarlet Soul Banner, their quality is also extraordinary. If they really act in this way, I am afraid they will suffer permanent damage."

"In addition, these ghosts alone are still far from enough to meet the needs of refining the Red Soul Banner."

The boy examined the Guiluo Banner in Yan Yun's hand for a moment, and after careful consideration, he gave a warning.

"It doesn't matter. Although these two treasures are powerful, I already have spiritual treasures of a higher level, so these kinds of items are no longer very attractive to me."

"As for the problem of insufficient number of ghosts, if we can have more than ten such banners, it should be enough for refining the Red Soul Banner, right?"

Yan Yun stroked his beard and spoke slowly with deep meaning.

"More than ten? In that case, these are two of a complete set of treasures? May I ask, fellow Taoist, have you not yet collected all the other banners?"

The boy was stunned at first, then he said with sudden realization.

"I don't have any other flags at the moment, but I know the whereabouts of the rest."

"In fact, I also learned about another treasure similar to this one. The number of Ten Thousand Demon Banner souls contained in it is probably far greater than these Gui Luo Banners in my hand."

"Unfortunately, this item has fallen into the hands of a demon beast that has reached the God Transformation Stage. It is really an existence that cannot be easily touched."

Yan Yun mentioned another treasure again, with endless regret on his face.

What he was referring to was the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in the hands of Che Laoyao in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.

He had personally experienced the power of this treasure back then. The thousands of demon souls contained within it were far superior to the Guiluo Banner in both quality and quantity.

If this item could be used to refine the Red Soul Banner, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance its power.

The little boy did not understand what Yan Yun meant by the other meaning, but he was not very interested in exploring it, and just replied calmly:
"If Fellow Daoist Yan can really gather all the spirits, I am willing to give you the secret manual for refining the Red Soul Banner for free."

"Considering that the Yuanci Divine Light technique is indeed quite unique, I am also quite curious and look forward to seeing what kind of powerful power you will display after you have cultivated it to perfection."

"Does Fellow Daoist Yan plan to do this immediately after returning to Tiannan?"

"This is not urgent. First, I need to ensure that I can cultivate to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and refine the Five Frost Flame Demons."

"Because the other Guiluo Banners have been obtained by some Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, I need to improve my own cultivation to deal with them. For now, I have to return to Tiannan first."

Yan Yun shook his head slightly and replied. (End of this chapter)
