Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 519 - 350: The Seed, Meeting the Heavenly Master, The Prenatal Great Qi Exercise of Returning to True Origin, The Question of Heavenly Dao
A hand plunged into the heart of the snake corpse, constantly searching.
Yi Chen suddenly touched a hard, cubic crystal core, which seemed like black jade on the outside, but the surface bore a faint, multicolored ghostly light, mysterious and divided.
"Wow, what is this, a colorful black...?"
Just then, an evil wind suddenly picked up, and a torrent of fragmented and turbulent memories rushed into Yi Chen's mind, swiftly flashing through scenes of the Le Buddha Monastery and the Serpent Empress's journey.
"Catastrophe-averting Celestial, Le Buddha Monastery, Serpent Empress, the valley town?"
Yi Chen's expression immediately turned strange.
The evil wind emanating from the crystal core was actually the residual memories of souls devoured by the Serpent Empress along the way. After Yi Chen had killed her, stripping away the evil force's seal, their souls finally broke free from it and escaped.
The memories of Master Sanshu from Le Buddha Monastery were the most complete, allowing Yi Chen to roughly piece together what had happened.
"The family's honor sweeps the empty walls, idly sitting in a diligent state.
"Seeking the sound and sight beyond the exterior, at dawn the green mountains cry out with the cuckoos."
"Although this master didn't have the astonishing wisdom of a poor Daoist like me, he was after all a person of deep feelings and loyalty. A Buddha friend, go well on your journey."
"Eh, Catastrophe-averting Celestial couldn't even avert his own catastrophe, truly a twist of fate."
Yi Chen sighed lightly and, guided by his senses, reached into the snake corpse once more, this time pulling out a black jade bracelet.
Upon a spiritual probe, inside lay four fine Taoist instruments—a bowl, a staff, a kasaya, and a red umbrella. Beyond these objects, a blue Star Disc lay quietly in a corner, collecting dust.
The red umbrella and the blue Star Disc were naturally the possessions of the Catastrophe-averting Celestial. Yi Chen thought for a moment and took out the tin staff he had earned from sharing his knowledge as well, tossing it aside. He summoned the Holy Halberd, speaking with distaste, "Holy Halberd, tidy this up. Look at you, you couldn't even catch someone else's tail and almost made a fool of your poor Daoist master~"

"Tidy up, then tidy up!" Considering the four Taoist instruments, Holy Halberd's spirit was quite flexible.
A puff of golden mist sprayed from the Holy Halberd, engulfing the four instruments. Seeing the in-progress work, Yi Chen turned his gaze toward the distance.
That was the direction of the caravan.
All of a sudden, from within the caravan's guards, a thin and weak young guard stood out and actually came directly to Yi Chen, falling to his knees with a thud.
"The insignificant Zuo Qianfu lacks spiritual aptitude and wishes to embark on the path of the Dao, seeking the guidance of the elder."
Yi Chen did not speak, his gaze cold and indifferent, his icy glare causing sweat beads to form on the foreheads of the onlookers from a distance.
They couldn't understand why the usually silent and reticent guard would have such audacity to come forward seeking the Dao; the crowd felt uneasy just thinking about it.
Suddenly, an immense pressure enveloped the young man before Yi Chen, and a crack appeared ten meters ahead of him.
"Come to the front and speak to me."
"It's the same for everyone."
Having said that, Yi Chen ignored these people and, turning away, flicked his fingers, immediately causing several 'seeds of fire' to land on the burning snake corpse.
"The eternally burning power of Pure Yang will surely cleanse all filth from this world."
The corpse of the Serpent Empress burned quite persistently, requiring the time it takes to brew a pot of tea to be fully consumed. The glaring red fire cast a reddish tint over Yi Chen's silhouette.
By the time he turned back, many people behind him were already trying hard to walk forward.
Alas, even the person who made it the farthest only reached two meters, and the thin young man barely made it one meter. He lay prone on the ground, trembling, his fingers digging into the soil as he continued to strive forward with great effort.
Yi Chen walked towards the crowd and, after indulging in a moment of superiority, lifted Zuo Qianfu by his collar. With a wave of Extreme Origin, he immediately rolled up the Holy Halberd and the Taoist instruments on the ground, sending them towards a distant valley.
Night fell, the waning moon hung high, and resentment lingered among humanity.
Yi Chen arrived at the valley town massacred by the Serpent Empress, recited the scriptures for the deceased, while Holy Halberd persistently nibbled at the four Taoist instruments.
A thin young man stood respectfully to one side, silent, with only his slightly trembling hands betraying his emotions.
After reciting the last scripture, Yi Chen turned and said to Zuo Qianfu, "Boy, are you happy?"
"Indeed, to be favored by the master is the greatest fortune of Qianfu." The young man's voice was slightly excited, "Is it perhaps that the master's wise eyes have discerned that Qianfu actually possesses some hidden divine constitution, or an Innate Taoist Body? Otherwise, why would the master look favorably upon Qianfu alone?"
"Then you're happy too soon, first of all, two things." Yi Chen held up two fingers, smiling, "First, I never said I'd take you as a disciple. If you dare to wield my name and cause trouble in the future, you'll surely die without a burial place."
"Second, you have a 'divine body'? Just a stubborn stone. I chose you because I liked the look of you, your stubbornness and fierceness are good. Although you didn't walk the farthest, you were the first to step forward, and you never gave up the fight. You have potential. I'm bored, and that's why I decided to give you a hand~"
"You don't need to thank me for this opportunity that you seized yourself."
"But, Celestial, I can eat a lot but I'm always thin. Isn't that a natural anomaly?" Zuo Qianfu still seemed unwilling to give up.
"Nonsense, you eat a lot but don't gain weight because you have a bad stomach. An anomaly my foot, hey, you've also got parasites, you fool."
"Ah? Without spirituality, how will the Celestial teach me?" Zuo Qianfu's eyes dimmed.
