Chapter 262 - 188: The Sun and the Moon Rise Together! Zhaojin Mountain, Jiangshen Bridge!

Chapter 262: Chapter 188: The Sun and the Moon Rise Together! Zhaojin Mountain, Jiangshen Bridge!

In front of these eyes, among the hundred or so people, how many are human?

They seem like ancient townsfolk by the hundreds, but how many truly come from various forces and still possess their original will?

Yet, to enter deeper into the ancient ruins, all had chosen to submit before what stood before them.

Within this ancient town, this County Magistrate might not be the highest in status and rank!

But among those who had "awakened their ancient wisdom," or perhaps among the roles that various characters could play, the County Magistrate currently before them was indeed the highest in status!

"..."

Lv Tang was resentful, kneeling and kowtowing twice, grinding his teeth in anger.

Han Commander, meanwhile, was willing to expend his True Qi, already fixed in the position just before his knees.

He was prepared, as he knelt, to create a layer of True Qi between his knees and the ground, so it would not count as kneeling.

He looked at Lin Yan, his lips moving slightly, as if saying things like "reversing the Heavenly Array", "you must kowtow to your master when this is over", and "we must correct the master-disciple relationship"... and so forth!

Just as he bowed, the last person to do so.

He heard Lin Yan command with an outstretched hand, "Rise, all of you!"

Whoosh!

Han Commander, whose knees had only just bent halfway, straightened his back immediately.

He looked at Lin Yan, heaved a sigh of relief, and thought, "The kid is still filial, though he brags about his advancement in cultivation all day, he didn’t reverse the Heavenly Array. He knows to respect his elders and didn’t take advantage of me."

And at that moment.

Up in the heavens, behind the bright moon, appeared an even brighter disc!

The sun and moon rose together!

The great sun was always behind the bright moon!

Witnessing the separation of the sun and moon, one bright and one dark, hanging together in the sky!

Sunlight poured down!

It was intensely radiant!

But it was not the true great sun!

Because the evil spirits, under the sunlight, revealed an intoxicated expression, and were not destroyed by the sun’s presence!

Even Lin Yan could feel the simultaneous rise of the sun and moon, the sunlight and moonlight shining upon him.

The True Qi, refined through the Five Element Spiritual Energy, also seemed to react.

"This baptism of sunlight and moonlight is also an opportunity!"

A realization dawned in Lin Yan’s heart.

——

At the same time, the nine Pure Lands turned into nine towns, gradually dissolved under the illumination of the combined light of the sun and moon.

The streets were vanishing, objects gradually becoming illusory, and houses melting away like snow under the sunlight.

All the ancient town landscapes were disappearing under the simultaneous illumination of the sun and moon’s light.

And at this very moment, in these nine towns.

Some played the role of everything in the town, but had not yet lost control.

Some were hidden in the shadows, not daring to participate in the act, quietly observing the changes in the town.

At this very moment, within these ancient relics, regardless of identity, race, origin, or current actions, all were exposed under the cleansing light of the sun and moon’s rise.

This cleansing did not bring about a leap in cultivation level!

It seemed to sort out the past cultivation, extending the road ahead!

Even those completely out of control, almost insane Human Clan powerhouses, demons, and evil spirits, experienced a moment of clarity at this time.

Despite being unable to return to their original "form", they were no longer crazed maniacs.

"Tribulation Ash had a Secret Technique in recent years, while it couldn’t restore one’s human form after losing control, it could regain sanity!"

Ji Baochang’s heart trembled slightly, thinking, "It must be related to the scenes here... the multiple explorations by Tribulation Ash have been beneficial, it all makes sense now!"

With this thought, he saw many Human Clan powerhouses, demons, and evil spirits heading towards the distance.

That must be the direction of the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge!

Entering the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge would allow one to delve deeper into the ancient ruins and explore deeper secrets!

But by the time the sun and moon rose together, those who were just escaping from the first barrier of the ancient town were doomed to fall behind!

Thinking this, Ji Baochang thought to himself, "It seems that Master and Lv Tang have already gone ahead to the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge. My business here is done; it’s time to leave!"

He silently retreated, touching the mask hidden in his bosom.

It symbolized the Worshiping Evil Method, and also bore the mark of Tribulation Ash.

He then felt the small flag at his waist, given to him by Master, marked with Master’s own handwriting, certifying his membership in the Observatory.

When retreating later, if he stumbled into Tribulation Ash’s troops, wearing the mask would make him one of them.

If swept into the Human Clan’s camp, planting the flag on himself would mark him as the Observatory’s secret agent.

If captured by demons or evil, he would have to rely on the ancestor he worshipped for good fortune.

Boom!!!

Just as the sun and moon rose together, and the town scene disappeared, visitors from all directions suddenly made their move!

Shouts of killing arose from various parts of the ruins!

Under the Qifeng Prefecture banner, including High Willow City, people from various cities, children of influential families... especially members of the Sky Observation Bureau, City Guard Mansion, elite troops from all departments!

Characters from Tribulation Ash!

Demons and evil spirits!

Even some "strange creatures" suddenly stirred up trouble at that moment!

The sun and moon rose together, the town vanished, and a great battle erupted as if without warning... but everyone had long anticipated it in their hearts!

The sudden outbreak of the great battle had an earth-shattering force!

The entire ancient relic fell into chaos!

Many high-ranking powerhouses from Tribulation Ash, as well as formidable demons and evil, were also heading towards the distance.

That should be the direction of the Purifying World Bridge!

However, the powerhouses from various factions within the town did not rush to the deeper parts of the relics!

"Protect everyone, leave the ruins!"

The leader of High Willow City, Yue, shouted loudly, "Do not linger in battle!"

His gaze followed the direction in which the Tribulation Ash powerhouses had left, and he couldn’t help but feel some temptation.

However, he understood that entering deep into the ancient ruins through the Sui Gate was not what he was supposed to do.

His responsibility was, after the sun and the moon rose together, to escort the present members of the Human Clan out of the ruins.

Because these people had witnessed the sights of the ancient town and memorized a variety of things within!

Some had gained so much that they even remembered the method for creating a wooden wine barrel they saw in the ancient town.

Upon their return to High Willow City, they would be able to bring these long-lost crafts back into the Human Clan.

This was also a method for the continuation of human civilization!

The ancient inheritance was not just limited to cultivation methods!

"With the sun and moon rising together, we have had our chances; we must not be greedy and must leave the ruins quickly!"

Leader Yue and others escorted the rest of the Human Clan to withdraw from the ancient site.

At the same time, more Qi Refinement Realm people from the Human Clan headed deep into the ancient site from another point.

In truth, even those in the Qi Refinement Realm, who hadn’t been able to step onto the Five Elements Purifying World Bridge by this time, had already fallen behind. What they should do next was to ensure the remaining members of the Human Clan left.

But human hearts are fickle, and some chose to adhere to the original plan and withdraw from the ancient site... yet others intended to seize a greater opportunity amidst this chaos.

"Enough! With but a single life remaining, I will exert myself for the Human Clan again!"

Ji Baochang had wanted to fish in troubled waters and leave the ancient site, but remembered that he had already exposed himself during the Tribulation Ash.

Leaving now, he did not know where to go.

He sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I beseech my ancestor to take action!"

The evil spirit he worshipped suddenly transformed into a cloud of black smoke and rushed into the body of a man in front.

That was a member of the Tribulation Ash, ready to strike down a brocaded youth from Feng City.

But at that moment, he was assailed by the evil spirit nurtured by Ji Baochang.

Unable to withstand the invasion of the evil spirit, he immediately collapsed onto his back.

The brocaded youth showed a look of belated fear, and when he saw the Cultivator who intervened, he quickly raised his sword, ready to kill Ji Baochang.

"I knew it!"

Ji Baochang quickly planted his flag upon himself and shouted, "I am from the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau, under the command of Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy, here to help..."

The brocaded youth was dubious.

An adherent of the Worshiping Evil Method in the Sky Observation Bureau?

"Let’s go!"

As someone from the Zhao Ye people who had been in the Tribulation Ash for many years, Ji Baochang was experienced and no greenhorn.

He had his own ways to save his life.

But his cultivation was too low, and in this tumultuous battle, he still struggled to protect himself.

Yet, seeing the other members of the Human Clan withdrawing from the chaos with severe casualties, he couldn’t hold back any longer and went forward to meet them.

——

Behind the Five Elements Purifying World Bridge, as the sun and the moon rose together, everyone benefited.

Especially the various visitors who followed behind Lin Yan on the bridge, they hadn’t received the anticipated "immense spiritual energy".

But under the simultaneous rise of the sun and moon, they finally found some comfort for themselves.

Lin Yan, lifting his head, saw only a cliff in front of him, an abyss without end.

Separated by the cliff was a towering mountain, standing tall in the world, reaching into the clouds!

There, under the simultaneous rise of the sun and the moon, the mountaintop was bathed in a golden light, incredibly bright and dazzling to all.

In the light of the sun and the moon, it looked like a Divine Mountain cast in gold!

The crowd held their breaths, watching this sunlit golden mountain suddenly ignite with massive golden Flames, burning and undulating uncertainly!

And within the Flames, glimpses of majestic palatial phantoms could be seen.

The palace seemed to house the shadow of a lotus, ready to bloom!

"The supreme town object!"

The thought emerged in the minds of everyone present.

That included the great demons and evil spirits, whose eyes also shone with greed.

"Please, County Magistrate, officiate the divine worship ceremony!"

An elder stepped forward, calling out loudly.

He held three incense sticks, handing them over.

Lin Yan instantly understood, took the three incense sticks, and approached the edge of the cliff, facing the Flame Heavenly Palace on the other side of the abyss, and bowed.

After lighting the three sticks of incense, he placed them in the ground.

The elder then brought out two wooden objects, shaped like crescent moons, one convex and the other concave.

Being in High Willow City, Lin Yan was not unfamiliar with the rites of worshiping the Liu Venerate.

He took these two sacred cups, and where they were flat, he joined them together as if they were one.

"Through the sea of changes, as time flows, a thousand ages are like a dream; I wish to lead my townsfolk to ascend the mountain and worship the divine Lord!"

Lin Yan threw the sacred cups upward, and they landed on the ground.

One side faced up, representing yang.

One side faced down, symbolizing yin.

When yin and yang unite, it becomes the sacred cup!

Lord Qingling agreed!

Boom!!!

The other end of the abyss, above the Divine Fire Heavenly Palace, blazed with golden light that extended forth.

With no sound from those present, they all watched the spectacle before them in silence.

Then, the golden light turned into a rainbow bridge, more than a hundred yards wide, extending right in front of Lin Yan.

"The golden bridge has arrived, ascend the mountain to worship Lord Qingling!"

The elder joyfully announced, "Fellow townspeople, prepare your offerings, it’s time to cross the golden bridge!"
