Chapter 1080
Reinforcement of the Seal
"Let's not delay, let's set off now." Yang Ling said, and left the temple with Bai Yunzi.
Meanwhile, on the stone coffin side, True Man Qingyang and Dan Yan were working hard to reinforce the seal.
"Dan Yan, how long do you think this seal can last?" Qingyang Zhenren asked.
Dan Yan stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "If no one breaks it, this seal can last for at least several hundred years. But the man in black robes is full of resentment and I'm afraid he won't give up so easily."
“Then we need to come and check on it frequently to make sure there are no problems with the seal,” said Master Qingyang.
After working for a while longer, the two finally reinforced the seal. They smiled at each other, knowing that their collaboration had successfully completed another arduous task.
Several days later, Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi found the ancient book. They studied it carefully and finally found a way to resolve the resentment.
"So, to resolve resentment, one needs to cleanse their mind with pure spiritual energy," Yang Ling suddenly realized.
Bai Yunzi nodded: "That's right. We need to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to use pure spiritual energy to dispel the black-robed man's resentment."
After discussing it, the two decided to go to a famous sacred place – Bibo Pool.
The night was as dark as ink, with sparse starlight. Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi flew on their swords, rapidly heading towards Bibo Pool. Both were dressed in Daoist robes, their garments fluttering, making them appear like immortals descended to earth.
"Senior Bai, what's so special about this Azure Wave Pool?" Yang Ling asked curiously, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Bai Yunzi smiled slightly and explained, "Bibo Pool is a treasure land where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. The pool water is clear and sparkling, hence the name Bibo Pool. Not only is the spiritual energy abundant here, but more importantly, there is a treasure called 'Bibo Spirit Pearl' hidden at the bottom of the pool, which can purify the mind and wash away resentment."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Ling's eyes: "Wouldn't this trip kill two birds with one stone? We could find a way to resolve the resentment and also have a chance to obtain that treasure?"
“That’s right.” Bai Yunzi nodded and smiled. “However, although Bibo Pool is beautiful, it also hides many dangers. We must proceed with caution.”
As they spoke, they arrived near the Azure Pool. A dense bamboo grove surrounded a deep, emerald-green pool. A light mist hung over the water, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi slowly landed by the pool. They looked around, their expressions solemn. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, rustling the bamboo forest, as if reminding them of the challenges they were about to face.
"Senior Bai, what should we do?" Yang Ling asked, looking at Bai Yunzi with a determined gaze.
Bai Yunzi stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "First, we need to set up a spirit-gathering array to gather the surrounding spiritual energy into the pool. Then, the two of us will cast a spell together to use the pure spiritual energy to cleanse the black-robed man's resentment."
As he spoke, he took out several talismans that shimmered with golden light from his sleeve and quickly arranged them around the pool. Yang Ling saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After working for a long time, the two finally finished setting up the spirit-gathering array. At this moment, the spiritual energy around the pool became noticeably denser, as if forming a thin layer of mist.
“Alright, now we can begin the spell.” Bai Yunzi said, sitting cross-legged beside the pool, his hands forming a mudra, and chanting incantations. Yang Ling followed suit, sitting down beside Bai Yunzi and beginning to circulate his spiritual energy. The two, one old and one young, appeared remarkably in sync at this moment.
As they cast their spells, the spiritual energy in the pool gradually became turbulent. Streams of pure spiritual energy rose from the pool, slowly converging towards the location of the black-robed man's resentment.
Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper. Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi's foreheads were covered in sweat, but they persisted in casting their spells.
Suddenly, the black-robed man's resentment seemed to sense this pure spiritual energy and began to struggle violently. Streams of black resentment surged from the resentment, attempting to resist this pure spiritual energy.
"Oh no, the black-robed man's resentment is starting to rebel!" Yang Ling exclaimed, his expression turning serious.
Bai Yunzi frowned as well, "We must persevere and not let it get away!"
As he spoke, he intensified the power of his spell. A surge of even stronger spiritual energy erupted from his palm, fiercely clashing with the black-robed man's resentment.
Yang Ling was equally resolute. He gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into casting the spell. His heart was filled with determination and resolve, as if he wanted to completely eradicate this resentment.
As time passed, the black-robed man's resentment gradually weakened. It seemed to sense this irresistible force and began to slowly dissipate.
Finally, thanks to the combined efforts of Yang Ling and Bai Yunzi, the black-robed man's resentment was completely dispelled. A refreshing scent filled the air, as if the whole world had become brighter.
The two exchanged a smile, knowing that their mission had been successfully completed. They stood up, stretched their limbs, and savored the joy of victory.
"Senior Bai, we succeeded!" Yang Ling said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "The black-robed man's resentment has finally been eliminated!"
Bai Yunzi also showed a relieved smile, "Yes, this mission was not in vain. However, we cannot let our guard down, after all, the black-robed man's true form has not been completely destroyed."
Yang Ling nodded. "Don't worry, Senior Bai. We will continue our efforts until we completely eliminate the man in black!"
As they talked, the two began packing their bags. They knew the road ahead was long, but they were well-prepared.
Meanwhile, in another distant space, Master Qingyang and Danyan were quietly cultivating with their eyes closed. Suddenly, they both opened their eyes simultaneously, sensing the pure spiritual energy fluctuations—a message of victory coming from afar.
A hint of joy flashed in Qingyang Zhenren's eyes. He turned to Danyan and said, "Brother Danyan, this pure spiritual energy must be because Brothers Yang Ling and Baiyunzi successfully resolved the black-robed man's resentment."
Upon hearing this, Dan Yan smiled with relief. "Indeed, Master Qingyang. Their progress is going even better than we expected. This is truly good news."
"Yes, with their help, this mission has indeed become much easier for us," Master Qingyang sighed. "However, we cannot let our guard down. Although the black-robed man's resentment has been resolved, his true form is still a threat."
Dan Yan nodded, his expression turning serious. "Master Qingyang is absolutely right. We still need to proceed with caution to ensure final victory." (End of Chapter)
