Chapter 826: Chapter 394: Black Iron Shocks the Mighty Spirit! Pure Yang Treasure, Celestial Talisman

On Refining Treasure Peak, thunder rumbled mightily, and crimson-purple lightning tore through the sky, making the figure standing in front of the ancient temple appear exceptionally tall.

"Celestial Master!"

Zhang Fan watched Mao Xiaoyun from afar, his expression heavy.

Such a realm, like heavens and earth, as if Qian and Kun, encompassing everything, endlessly transforming, each encounter bringing a different feeling.

At this moment, Mao Xiaoyun walked towards the stone as smooth as a mirror, and the thunder in the sky seemed to mirror his emotions, rising and falling with a single thought.

This realm is beyond imagination, outside of common sense.

Not to mention that Zhang Fan is only at the Great Master Ninth Realm now—even if he advanced further, became Sect Leader, or even refined to the position of Observatory Master, he would still be worlds apart, like clouds and mud, from the Celestial Master.

"On Refining Treasure Peak and the Treasure Refining Platform, celestial thunder and earthly fire refine treasures!"

An Wuyang’s expression slightly condensed, staring intently at the smooth stone platform.

Back at Zhongnan Mountain, he had heard that Maoshan had a stone platform named the Treasure Refining Platform, and it was rumored that Maoshan’s Pure Yang Treasure, the Celestial Talisman, was refined on this platform.

Because of this, the stone platform absorbed the creation of Pure Yang Treasures and transformed spiritually.

Over the long ages, countless magical treasures were refined on this stone platform, tempered again and again, turning it into a unique treasure.

"So this is the renowned Treasure Refining Platform!?" Xiao Changfeng’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but take a closer look.

It is said that this platform possesses Vajra Indestructible Skill, celestial thunder cannot destroy it, earthly fire cannot extinguish it, and after countless chiseling and striking, it remains unmoving.

Rumble...

At that moment, a celestial thunder descended, striking the Treasure Refining Platform, and the terrifying aura caused everyone to startle.

This was not thunder forged by Daoist Magic but natural thunder’s might, manifested by the resonance of the human body’s small universe with the outer universe.

The power of these two was as far apart as the heavens and earth.

On that day, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Li Changgeng’s third Divine Technique, Thunder Essence Dharma Assembly, summoned a power similar to this natural thunder, enabling him to break Zhang Fan’s Samadhi True Flame.

Beyond Divine Techniques, only the Celestial Master’s means can invoke the Celestial Phenomenon’s might.

Rumble...

Crimson-purple thunder continuously struck the Treasure Refining Platform, yet the smooth, mirror-like stone platform remained unmoved and grew increasingly brilliant.

Simultaneously, a crimson-red glow surged from underground, erupting like a tide, with scorching flames rolling over the Treasure Refining Platform.

"Celestial Thunder provokes Earthly Fire!"

The crimson-purple thunder collided with the crimson-red earthly fire, thunder qi spread, and firelight burst forth.

This frightening natural phenomenon made everyone halt in their tracks, not daring to approach.

Nonetheless, Mao Xiaoyun stood before the Treasure Refining Platform, unmoved, his aura stretching out as if distancing the might of the celestial thunder and earthly fire.

"Celestial Master Realm, it’s truly a non-human realm." Fang Changle spoke in a bitter tone.

To ordinary people, they already seem non-human.

But to them, the Celestial Master Realm is the true non-human, the Celestial Being.

Celestial thunder and earthly fire, even if a Great Master approaches, the physical body would face tribulation and be burned—unless they cultivated Vacuum Refining Form, or possess a rare skill akin to Five Elements Mistaken King that specializes in the physical body.

Whoosh...

At that moment, Mao Xiaoyun’s chest rose and fell, and he let out a deep breath, as if mountain wind, like a tide, graceful and mystical, seemingly a mountain of spiritual light, blending into the celestial thunder and earthly fire.

The next instant, a more wondrous sight emerged as, under the breath’s union, celestial thunder and earthly fire seemed to merge into one, becoming bright and boundless.

"Innate Essence!?"

Everyone’s eyes widened, displaying an intense gleam.

Human cultivation is the postnatal returning to innate, refining away the dark yin, achieving Pure Yang.

Once stepping into the Celestial Master Realm, the postnatal reverses again, entering the Innate Skillful Realm, a breath of essence releases into innate spiritual brilliance.

"Marvelous!" Zhang Fan watched, entranced.

Innate Essence enlightenment, merging into celestial thunder and earthly fire, before him a scene of vastness, the Treasure Refining Platform, luminously transparent like glaze, even the Hidden Sword Seal placed upon it, alongside two residual seals and other magical treasure fragments, became blurred.

Celestial thunder, earthly fire, innate essence.

Heaven, earth, humanity, the three talents are present, the phenomena return to unity, and a Spirit Treasure is formed.

Rumble...

At this moment, Mao Xiaoyun’s figure seemed to vanish, merging into that bright glaze, becoming one with celestial thunder and earthly fire.

He became an integral part of this system, no longer human, not heaven, nor earth, harmoniously united, without even the slightest thought remaining.

Only in that bright glaze, the magical treasure is refined anew.

Soon after, the crowd heard a rumbling sound in their ears, like celestial thunder and earthly fire, yet resembling profound, mysterious breathing, mixed together, sounding like heavy drums beating, each sound hiding nature and conveying mystery.

"Mao Celestial Master seems to have disappeared," Zhang Fan murmured softly.

He couldn’t sense Mao Xiaoyun’s presence anymore; he merged into that bright glaze, leaving only the phenomenon of the magical treasure’s reformation, as the wind blows, thunder rumbling, fire burning...

This is phenomena.

This is instinct.

This is also nature, without awareness, without the inclusion of ’existence or nonexistence,’ nor the arising and cessation of thoughts.

"So interesting."

Zhang Fan’s gaze scattered with fascination. Utilising Primordial Spirit Observation, he saw the boundary of the Hidden Sword Seal had become indistinct, and the magical treasure fragments beside it appeared with cracks, the participating incense fire’s spiritual power seeping through the indistinct boundary into the Hidden Sword Seal within, merging harmoniously without distinction.
