Chapter 170: Subtract and Seek Emptiness
Suddenly, the pure air in the heaven and earth began to surge violently and gathered on the cushion where Taiqing was originally sitting.

The pure energy condensed into a ball of white light. When the light faded, a Taoist priest who looked exactly like Taiqing was sitting in the same place.

As soon as it appeared, it suddenly jumped up from the ground.

He looked left and right, and circled around the three people in the field several times.

Then he laughed and happily fiddled with the alchemy furnace beside him.

His behavior was extremely eccentric, as if he was full of freshness about everything, but his appearance was similar to Taiqing.

Tongtian and Yuanshi realized something, their faces turned pale, and they looked coldly at the Taoist who looked exactly like Taiqing.

The Taoist casually rummaged through the alchemy furnace, pulled out a golden pill, and casually threw it into his mouth to chew.

“Yes, it tastes good!”

He commented, then he stretched out his little finger to pick his ear and reached his hand towards his crotch.

Just as he was about to stroke it, it seemed as if someone was watching him.

He stopped again awkwardly.

"What are you three standing there for? If you have something to say, say it now. Don't waste time! I still need to practice the Daoyin Technique!"

Judging from his words, he seemed to know the identities of the three people.

Tongtian would not let him off. With a flash of green light, the Qingping sword was placed on his neck.

He suddenly became panicked, unable to maintain his forced calmness. He frantically tried to reach out and grab the sword, fearing that the blade would move forward and separate his head from his body.

"Tai Qing actually released this evil corpse of yours. Where is he?"

Tongtian asked sharply.

At the same time, he shook the sword in his hand, as if he was about to cut it off.

“No, no~”

The creature that looked exactly like Taiqing had a flattering expression on his face: "Tongtian Daoist Friend, be gentle. If I lose my head by mistake, it will ruin Taiqing's plan."

"Fuck the big plan? What big plan won't you discuss with me? Where is Taiqing? Tell me quickly, or I will kill you for Taiqing."

"I am not an evil corpse! Taiqing gave me one of his titles, and from now on I will be Taishang Laojun."

The evil corpse argued cunningly, saying that he deeply hated the identity of an evil corpse. He now had his own identity and name, so naturally he did not want to be called that by Tongtian.

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't care whether you are the Taishang Laojun or the Xinjun!"

Tongtian pointed the sword and was about to chop it down.

"Tai Qing suddenly wanted to jump out of the prehistoric world and leave the Great Dao. Now it seems that he must have succeeded, so he let me out. But as for where he is now~"

After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, his tone paused slightly: "It's not that I don't want to talk about that place, it's just that I don't know it either."

"Could it be Chaos?"

Tongtian looked towards Yuqing.

Yuqing shook his head and gestured to Tongtian to look at the Tai Chi diagram in the sky.

He brought Tongtian and the Tai Chi diagram back with him. At this time, the Tai Chi diagram was still the same as before, hanging in the sky, and the yin and yang flowed as usual.

"Chaos is also within the Great Dao. It is impossible to jump out of the Great Dao and go to Chaos. Seeing that Taishang Laojun has inherited Taiqing's cultivation, he must be the product of Taiqing's practice of reducing and seeking emptiness."

"Do subtraction and seek emptiness!"

Hearing this, Tongtian's pupils suddenly shrank.

Yang Jian was confused as he listened.

In the world hidden in the sleeves of the lotus incarnation, he racked his brains but could not figure out what the subtraction and emptiness meant.

He had read many books on cultivation on Jin'ao Island before, but none of them mentioned this.

"To do less and seek emptiness, is that the same as transcendence?"

He speculated and couldn't help talking to himself.

“Who is doing the subtraction and seeking emptiness?”

He was startled by the sudden sound in his ear. This sound did not come from the outside world, but from within his sleeves.

He looked back and was suddenly discovered that Fairy Caixia had woken up at some point and was staring at him with burning eyes.

"Yang Jian, what did you just say about doing subtraction and seeking emptiness? Who is doing it? Also, where is this place?"

Fairy Caixia asked, and then she looked around curiously, only to see a dark hole with no trace of natural breath at all.

It was obvious that this was not the place she had chosen for her retreat.

She looked at Yang Jian and found that there was something wrong with Yang Jian's soul, as if she was not sensing one Yang Jian, but many Yang Jians pieced together.

The splicing technique is crude and only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is like temporarily gluing the parts together and may come apart again at any time.

Can transform the soul into this appearance.

As far as she knew, there was only sword energy generated by the Zhu Xian formation diagram.

The function of the sword energy is to divide. All objects in this world will be divided infinitely when encountering the sword energy of Zhu Xian, until they become infinitely small and are completely annihilated in the world.

And Yang Jian was able to survive the Zhuxian Formation. How could she not be curious?

But she did not ask in a hurry, but waited for Yang Jian to explain one by one.

Fairy Caixia has woken up!

Yang Jian looked excited, and the anxiety in his heart was suddenly dispelled a lot.

Then, he recounted everything that had happened to him after he fell into deep sleep.

When Yang Jian said that the lotus seed he won from Hongjun actually grew into a twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction, Fairy Caixia's face instantly became unnatural.

She did not interrupt, choosing instead to continue listening.

When I heard that Yang Jian met Tongtian and conspired with him to obtain the Zhuxian Formation Map.

Fairy Caixia looked calm. She now knew how Yang Jian ran into the Zhuxian Formation and how he survived.

It must be a method that reaches the sky.

However, Tongtian is a very courageous guy who dares to provoke Shi Qilin alone.

I've had enough of living.

With Yuqing and Taiqing as their backing, they don't have to be too afraid of the first Qilin.

"Is that all? What was the subtraction and emptiness just now?"

Fairy Caixia breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yang Jian's behavior brought some changes, it did not completely disrupt the world.

The Zhuxian Formation Diagram was indeed obtained by Tongtian at this point in time, and was finally borrowed by Luohou.

By the way, it would be best if this new world-destroying black lotus is not discovered by Luohou, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!

The impact is not big now, she can handle it.

After Yang Jian finished saying that he and Tongtian had successfully planned the Zhuxian Formation, he didn't say anything further, not because he didn't want to.

Instead, Tongtian was talking to the Lotus Incarnation.

Tongtian first expressed his gratitude, and said frankly that if he was entrusted with anything in the future, he would definitely not refuse.

Finally, he said frankly that he had obtained the Zhuxian Formation Diagram with the help of Daoist Fellow Luohou, and he could not enjoy it alone, so he invited Luohou to jointly refine this innate treasure so that Daoist Fellow Luohou could also unleash the power of this formation.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

As the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram is an innate treasure, it would be a lie to say that one is not tempted by it.

However, refining the Zhuxian Formation will inevitably require the use of his soul, and then all his true colors will be exposed.

Every time he wanted to tell Tongtian his identity, the feeling of impending disaster was always lingering.

Even Taiqing couldn't directly know what he wanted to say.

Before, he had only appeared in Laojun Mountain. At that time, Taiqing was blocking the view, so the changes in the celestial phenomena were already extremely terrifying.

If Tongtian discovered his identity, he would be lucky if he didn't die on the spot.
