Chapter 491: Chapter 487: Heavenly Thunder, Earth Fire, The Three Calamities of Green Seal_2

Huang Wu furrowed her delicate brows and held Wang Yuan’s arm tightly, unable to conceal her fear of the various poisonous insects that were everywhere.

"We’ve arrived. This is the ’Bottomless Worm Cellar’ that Sage Yellow Dragon spoke of, as well as the foundation of the entire ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path’."

Hurrying along their way, the two soon stopped near a massive chasm at the mountain’s mouth.

Looking down from here, one could see countless insects and disciples of the ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path’ coming and going at every moment.

Wang Yuan activated the ’Eyes as Deep as Indigo,’ sharing his vision with Huang Wu, and the world as seen by both of them suddenly underwent a drastic change.

"Hiss—!"

Even though they had been informed of the true nature of their mission target by Sage Yellow Dragon, they couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

The ’Bottomless Worm Cellar’ itself was a living creature that grew by relying on a complex system of underground caverns and still bore the filth of the ’Heavenly Gate’ exterior.

The most crucial were the things within its body.

Previously, because the discovery of the "human breeding farm" was too shocking, they didn’t pay attention to those ’Immortal Envoys.’

Only now did they have the time to observe the direct lineage disciples of the ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path.’

To their surprise, they were each and every one... insect people!

Some had the lower body of a spider, others had blade-like arms, still others had multiple pairs of compound eyes, and some had segmented and writhing tentacles protruding from the back of their heads...

"When insects are within the belly, they are ’Poison.’ It seems we’ve found the source," said Wang Yuan.

Just like there are dozens to hundreds of schools in the Tao Lineage for Cultivating Ghost Dao, there are also many in the southwestern lands that practice the Poison Path.

Unlike disciples of side-door Poison Path sects led by the ’Poison Master Dao,’ most followed their own secret poison scriptures, slowly cultivating a personal lifebound poison worm.

They would then employ their poison insect Taoism for Foundation Establishment, receive a talisman from their master and enter the path of cultivation.

The methods derived from the ’Green Bag Five Insect Scripture’ are completely different.

Initiates are required to ingest a ’Foundation Establishment Pill’ produced from the worm cellar in order to succeed in their Enlightenment.

In reality, that is the insect egg of a poison worm!

The so-called ’Jingzhe Immortal Trial’ is to persist in the worm cellar for seven days, attempting to find a compatible poison worm with a matching temperament.

Those who find a match have the aptitude, and those who don’t are deemed unworthy of cultivation, which has nothing to do with personal will.

The subsequent cultivation on the Poison Path involves the process of the poison worm deeply ’parasitizing’ the human.

Insect egg stage, larval stage, adult stage, transformation stage, feather transformation stage...

At every phase, many disciples are eliminated, completely relegated to becoming breeding grounds for the sect’s poison worms, with only a rare few able to integrate human and poison.

In Flower Hairpin Lady’s vision, the combination of human intelligence and the power of poison worms constitutes the most perfect form of existence.

Those disciples of the ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path’ who maintain their self and continue to cultivate at every step are her chosen allies. The spoiled waste that gets refined away is not worth her regret at all.

How many people die is not even within the scope of her consideration.

Take for example... those half-human half-worms, the low-intellect ’Poison Gods’!

In the eyes of Flower Hairpin Lady, even the ’Child Rejuvenation Immortals’ were just slightly better defective products than the ’Poison Gods.’

"Xiao Yuan, are you saying that these people have absolutely no awareness?

Even if they join the ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path’ to avoid the immediate end at age thirty-five, they are simply continuing to be consumed in a different form.

Their path is the opposite of the ’Demon Master Dao,’ more like they are actively embracing mutation.

If they don’t want to be devoured by the poison worms and achieve something on the Immortal Dao, they can only strive for the one in hundreds or thousands chance of following the path of the ’Strange Immortal.’

The ’Qingtian Righteous Law Path’ recruits the highest number of disciples, but I’m afraid its mortality rate is also the highest among all schools."

Wang Yuan nodded in agreement:

"There must have been those who noticed.

But before doing anything irrational, they are promptly devoured completely by their ’lifebound poison’ which has already extended its tentacles into their brains."

If he pretended not to know and waited until the transformation was complete, he would no longer be the original ’self.’

Flower Hairpin Lady held sway over these cultivated insects that she had nurtured, evidently possessing far greater control than their nominal masters.

Besides herself, everything else was merely a chess piece to be used.

This kind of broad vision combined with wisdom, ambition, and a terrifying ability to execute made her an enemy better dealt with sooner rather than later.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Bottomless Worm Cellar served as Flower Hairpin Lady’s Daoist lineage foundation, taking the place of a Taoist Inheritance Artifact.

It allowed this "Parasitic Cultivation" pattern to continue operating indefinitely.

Once she could realize her grand vision and please the Killing Tree with an extraordinary governance structure like "Qingtian Governance," she could steal a Purple Seal No-Life Fruit equivalent to that of a Heavenly Official.

With the Bottomless Worm Cellar, she could usurp the authority of the Green God, taking over all of his dominion in the Mortal World, just as the Manxiang Temple had split from the Dragon Elephant Tao.

There was even a possibility that she could turn the tables and consume the Heavenly Official.

Yellow Dragon Sage sought Wang Yuan’s help.

The first task was to put pressure on the Underground Master in the Underworld; the second was to root out the adversaries while both Sages were away from Ming Jiu Cave Heaven!

The extent was left to him to decide.

Wang Yuan was well-versed in the business of extermination, and the "extent" Yellow Dragon Sage spoke of was promptly disregarded.

In his view, "rooting out" had only one meaning—everyone must die!

Wang Yuan spun around, his body revealing a majestic Crown Robe as he turned his head and reached out his hand to Huang Wu.

"Sister!"

Huang Wu, also adorned in the splendid Luan Robe, exchanged a smile with him and placed her delicate jade hand in his palm.

Together, their bodies flashed with the extreme Dharma Light of Divine Transformation, and behind them, a solemn and august Golden Que Great Hall faintly materialized.

Before the jade steps, a host of ministers took their places, the Five Senses, Yin Officials, Ghost Generals, Ghost Soldiers... and even the Immortal Officials from the "Yin Department Ghost God" descended as ethereal shadows.

They all cried out in unison:

"Yama, Lady, long live..."

Hum—!

An invisible wave suddenly spread out.

It was the release of their long-suppressed Mana within Ming Jiu Cave Heaven, initiating the joint Qing Seal Promotion Ceremony.

In the blink of an eye, surging Tribulation Energy came rolling in, gathering thickly over the skies of Ming Jiu Mountain.

In the past, Calamity often served as a means for Heavenly Dao to make Wang Yuan work, affecting the course of Human Dao on a grand scale.

Yet this Calamity was aimed entirely at the coupled fate of the husband and wife.

Named—the Triple Qing Seal Tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

"Jade Emperor has cultivated since childhood, enduring 1750 tribulations, each lasting 129,600 years. You calculate, how many years did he have to endure to enjoy this supreme Dao?"

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight!

The path of the Earthly Que Golden Book led directly to the position of Yin Heaven Son, and Wang Yuan naturally couldn’t escape this either.

Hence.

The Triple Qing Seal Tribulations: the first tribulation, Heavenly Thunder; the second, Earth Fire; the convergence of the two brought forth the terrifying might of Heaven and Earth, descending upon Wang Yuan and Huang Wu in unison!

Boom, boom, boom...

Then... Ming Jiu Cave Heaven immediately let out an agonized wail, as if it couldn’t bear the burden.

The couple both formed shades with their hands, giving their high praise for the quality of this cave heaven!

"Thank you!"
