Chapter 655: Reversing Yin Yang, Earth Topping Sky (2/2)

“Ingress, primordial, principal… There’s still a realm beyond the three major realms!” He could see yet another superior realm, according to information from the dead. “The supreme pure, jade pure, and grand pure realms!”

After the principal realm came the realm of three purities. The primordial immortal emperor was a jade pure immortal!

“Emerald Mistfire, Lucent Voidfire, Daevic Skyfire… Are the three founders of immortal dao the three of the Daoist trinity? Given how closely these cultivation realms mimic Daoist philosophy...” Lu Yun was reminded of myths on Earth about the Three Pure Ones. [1]

“It has to be them… but there aren’t any tales about hell in the world of immortals, nor is there knowledge about the Three Pure Ones or feng shui. Clearly, someone has somehow erased all of it with tremendous power.”

As for Earth… Qi Hai had once called Earth the ancestral planet of the human race, and the dao of feng shui its unique heritage. Many secrets remained to be uncovered in this area.

“It doesn’t make sense, though. According to legends passed down to modern times, the primordial divine court destroyed immortal dao and replaced it with Sacred Origin Runes etched in the petals of the Dao Flower. Then why does the cultivation of the divines buried in these tombs still follow the progression of immortal dao?” Lu Yun frowned. He was certain that the dead buried within the tombs were the elites of the ancient divine court.

In his eyes, the construction here was crude. Apart from the mausoleum encompassing everything, the individual tombs had all formed naturally according to the identities of their owners—much like how the coiled mountains had formed around the tomb that interred Huang Qing.

The mausoleum structure limited the feng shui of the individual tombs, so the layouts posed no threat to Lu Yun. What he had to worry about were dead men walking, the zombies.

The burial here had been done too crudely to properly bury these elites. Many of the divines would’ve become zombies, and after their countless years of existence, they were surely on the level of zombie kings, or something even more powerful.

Lu Yun had to find the yin dragon vein and Zhao Qing, the emperor’s daughter that was buried above the dragon vein’s head.

”To seek a dragon of mountains coiled,

Those deathly cliffs with mysteries roiled.

Danger shies if mountains hide,

Reverse yin yang and earth top sky!”

Hum.

With the Dragonsearch Invocation active, a faint golden light flickered in Lu Yun’s eyes. Instead of disassembling, as the yin luopan was prone to do, a world emerged in his eyes. Everything within the mausoleum was projected into that world.

“Reversing yin and yang, earth topping sky… That’s it!” Lu Yun’s eyes lit up. “The demon fetus lies in the tomb of the Exalted Divine Emperor, while his daughter was buried in the sky. Sky and earth, yin and yang. Those opposing forces should’ve supported and balanced each other… But after the divine emperor’s true spirit transformed into a divine demon fetus, Zhao Qing’s been keeping it under control!”

He’d spotted the key to the tomb. It wasn’t that Zhao Qing couldn’t move off of her throne and out of the palace coffin, it was that she mustn’t do that. If she moved, her counterpart—the divine demon fetus—would then be born.

“I’m running out of time, I must find her now. She should know where the treasure Ge Long mentioned is.” Lu Yun disappeared with a twitch.

Wandering Step.

1. The Three Pure Ones, also translated as the Three Divine Teachers, the Three Clarities, or the Three Purities, are the Daoist Trinity, the three highest gods in the Daoist pantheon. They are regarded as pure manifestations of the Dao and the origin of all sentient beings.
