"Zhu Chongba overestimated this net and underestimated me."

Jin Mingzi said.

“Even if this net is connected to the dragon vein, it cannot stop me. Moreover, he only knows that fire overcomes gold, but he does not know that golden lotus can be grown in fire.

"My body in this life was nurtured in a fire cave in the northwest mountains. It has been tempered by Yin fire for seven hundred years and is almost perfect, except for Yang fire. I have been walking in the world for hundreds of years, looking for Yang fire underground but couldn't find it, so I thought of continuing to absorb gold energy to sleep. But he used the national destiny of the Central Plains to suppress and kill me, but he didn't know that this was the Yang fire that I was looking for.

"So, while I am refining my corpse, I have the time to harm his dragon veins bit by bit, and let his descendants come and explain it to me in person."

Jin Mingzi was quite disdainful of the Zhu family, but he was also somewhat puzzled.
"But the Zhu family emperor is quite patient. The dragon veins have been damaged for more than ten years, and the first damage should be to the dragon throne. Logically, his health should be getting worse and worse, and he should be terminally ill. Why is there no movement at all? Instead, you outsiders saw it first."

Cheng Xinzhan felt something was wrong, so he asked Zhu Jianmo, "Brother Dao, after Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty stopped building Zhongdu, did he never move on it again during the Hongwu reign?"

Zhu Jianmo nodded affirmatively.

"Then was it only Emperor Yongle who ordered the restoration of Zhongdu?"

Zhu Jianmo reacted, "Are you talking about Emperor Yongle?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked again, "Is there a strange man like Liu Bowen around Emperor Yongle who is capable of changing the formation?"

Zhu Jianmo's eyes widened and he nodded, "Yes, there is one! People at that time called him the Prime Minister in Black."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and said to Jin Mingzi,

"Senior, maybe there is a misunderstanding. I have a guess and I want to tell you."

Jin Mingzi looked at Cheng Xinzhan and said,

"Tell me about it."

Cheng Xinzhan bowed and said,

"You may not know that the eldest son of Emperor Taizu of Ming died young and missed the throne. He was posthumously named "Prince Yiwen". Emperor Taizu of Ming passed the throne to his grandson, who was the second son of "Prince Yiwen". Emperor Taizu should have told his grandson all these secrets, including the agreement with you.

"The grandson succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Jianwen, but Emperor Jianwen advocated reducing the power of the princes. At that time, the Prince of Yan, the fourth son of Emperor Taizu, raised an army to quell the rebellion and seized the throne, becoming Emperor Yongle. Most of Emperor Jianwen's descendants died, and those who survived probably don't know the details.

“Emperor Yongle lived in Yanfu for a long time and ascended the throne after Jingnan. He probably didn’t know anything about these secrets. Perhaps one year, he suddenly felt that the construction of Zhongdu had been abandoned halfway and was too wasteful, so he ordered the construction to continue as a residence for the people.

"However, before the construction continued, the prime minister in black saw the construction drawings of the original Zhongdu and recognized the "Qilin Swallowing Gold" formation. He thought that this formation was not conducive to the ancestors' peaceful sleep, so he changed the formation diagram and formed the "Fiery Fire Cooking Gold" formation, absorbing the gold energy in the imperial mausoleum to strengthen the Zhu family's dragon vein.

"But he didn't know, and Emperor Yongle didn't know either, that the formation diagram of Zhongdu was connected to the magic net designed by the predecessors and the dragon veins of the Zhu family. His change turned the original protection formation into a detention formation. No, it's not detention, it just tied the predecessors' hands and feet.

"When the seniors attacked the dragon vein of Zhongdu, the Zhu emperor might have been terminally ill, but the descendants of Emperor Yongle did not know that there was such a past under the Fengyang ancestral mausoleum, so they did not come to the door for a long time."

Jin Mingzi listened quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said,
"Is it that simple?"

“Maybe it’s that simple.”

"Didn't Zhu Chongba do this on purpose? I have never told him about my true self. Perhaps he thinks I am just a corpse demon. After he ascended the throne, he is too disdainful to flatter me and wants to use the dragon veins to kill me?"

"Probably not."

Cheng Xinzhan said with his head down.

Jin Mingzi was silent for a while after hearing this, and suddenly laughed.

"Well, maybe it's that simple."

Yes, it has been nearly five hundred years since Li and Zhu Chongba met. The mortal had long since turned into dry bones, and even the heir he designated had been replaced. Why should he still be fussing about these things?

"Well, it's up to you, the descendants, to clean up the mistakes made by your ancestors. The younger ones above, go and cut off the connection between the dragon vein of the capital and this place. You two can bleed again, and I will dissolve this magic net."

However, after Jin Mingzi finished saying this, Cheng Xinzhan and the others did not move. They just lowered their heads and said nothing.

Jin Mingzi laughed angrily when he saw this and said,
"You are all young, but very cunning. Well, I will show you my skills!"

After saying that, Jin Mingzi grabbed the fire net in front of him and pulled it hard.

"Boom——"

Suddenly, the earth shook and the rocks in the cave fell like rain, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Please wait a moment, Senior! We will be there right away!"

Someone shouted in the corridor above, and Cheng Xinzhan thought it was Sun Miaoshu's voice, but the voice had faded away while he was speaking.

"Humph, do you believe it now? Do you still think that I am a demon trapped here and can't get out?"

Jin Mingzi looked at the two of them.

The two of them shook their heads and said they didn't dare.

"Each of you give me two ounces of blood."

This time Zhu Jianmo nodded, and circulated his blood along the meridians to his fingertips. At the same time, he used his hand as a knife to cut his fingertips. The bright red blood immediately flowed out and was caught by his magic power, forming a clumping in the void.

Cheng Xinzhan said, "Senior, my physical body is in trouble, so I am traveling outside my spiritual body, and I have no blood to use."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll bleed a little more. Four ounces of blood won't kill anyone."

Zhu Jianmo said repeatedly.

Jin Mingzi looked at Cheng Xinzhan and shook his head.
"You still don't understand what I said just now about the trinity of essence, energy and spirit. You have no essence and blood in your body, but your heart power is gone too?"

Cheng Xinzhan seemed to have realized something. As soon as he thought about it, the magic power formed by the mixture of the Sun Fire and the Three Flavors True Fire in his heart suddenly surged out.

"enough."

Jin Mingzi said, and held the magic power that Cheng Xinzhan released from his body in a way that Cheng Xinzhan could not understand.

“In addition to Zhu Ming’s national destiny fire, your heart power also contains the flavor of sky fire and human fire.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan replied, "I was lucky enough to get some opportunities."

"Although your bloodline is closer to Zhu Chongba, the national destiny fire contained in it is very weak. It seems that the one who sits on the throne is indeed far from your lineage."

"This has nothing to do with me."

Cheng Xinzhan replied that before this, he had never even heard of the National Destiny Fire, but what good could come of it for a cultivator to possess the National Destiny Fire? He would have to find a way to get rid of this fire in the future.

Jin Mingzi didn't say anything else. He grabbed the blood and magic power of the two men in mid-air, and then waved them vigorously, spreading a blood mist.

The blood mist fell onto the fire net, and the fire on the fire net was immediately extinguished, revealing the original color of the fire net, which was golden, like a rope, or like condensed light. The four sides of the net penetrated deep into the cave and were connected to the dragon vein of Zhongdu.

"Once those guys cut off the connection between the dragon vein and this place, the net will fall apart."

Jin Mingzi said. Cheng Xinzhan and Zhu Jianmo could only hope that the four could move faster. They didn't know what good ideas they could come up with in such a hurry, but they certainly couldn't just split the ground and destroy the city, as that would bring great consequences.

While waiting, Jin Mingzi took the initiative to say,

"Let's assume that what you said is true, and that Zhu Chongba did not break his promise. I made an agreement with him at that time that I would do something for his descendants when I woke up, but now I will not do it. Even if he did not break the agreement, it would not be good for disciplining his descendants. But you two are his descendants, and you helped me out of trouble today. I allow you two to ask one question each. As long as I can answer it, I will tell you everything I know. You can ask now, but remember, each person can only ask one question."

Cheng Xinzhan and Zhu Jianmo were pleasantly surprised to hear this. This person was an immortal in two lifetimes and was of the same generation as the ancestor! In terms of knowledge and skills, he could be said to be the best in the world.

Zhu Jianmo thought about it and opened his mouth to ask, but Cheng Xinzhan suddenly interrupted him.

"Senior, why don't you wait for my fellow Taoists to come back and ask them first, so that they won't fail to do their job well and waste your time."

Zhu Jianmo reacted immediately and said yes.

Jin Mingzi was such a person that he saw through Cheng Xinzhan's thoughts at a glance. "I don't have that much time. Ask quickly. You can tell them what I answer, and you can also tell the disciples of the Immortal Master. And my origins. I haven't seen a stranger for a long time. I told you a lot at once. These things only need to be known to the current headmaster of Sanqing Mountain. He should know the limits and not spread it to others."

The two agreed.

Cheng Xinzhan signaled Zhu Jianmo to ask first.

Zhu Jianmo thought about it and said,
"Senior, are there really Golden Immortals in this world? Is our ancestor a Golden Immortal?"

Cheng Xinzhan didn't expect Zhu Jianmo to ask this question, and he quickly pricked up his ears.

Jin Mingzi replied,

"These are two different questions. As for the Immortal Master, I will tell you. Of course there are Golden Immortals in the world, but there are none in the current heaven. After I ascended, I did not find the Immortal Master in the heaven, and I don't know if he has become a Golden Immortal."

This was an answer they had never expected. This short sentence made the two of them silent for a long time. What did they mean by "there is no heaven now"? Where did the ancestor go?
"It's your turn then kid. Remember, there's only one question."

Cheng Xinzhan thought about it seriously and asked:
"Senior, you are a golden unicorn who has attained enlightenment, and in your second life you turned into a golden corpse. I want to cultivate the golden path, so may I ask, what is the golden nature?"

"What is the nature of gold?"

Jin Mingzi repeated it.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded.

Jin Mingzi was silent for a while, as if answering this question was much more difficult than the previous one.

"good question."

Jin Mingzi said something and fell silent again. He was also thinking seriously.

After a while, he slowly said:

"My clan calls itself the Golden Kirin, and people think that means our clan has majestic scales and horns, and is indestructible and can defend anything. But that's not true. Look, I was killed in my first life, with my scales shattered, my horns broken, and even my blood drained.

“My clan is called the Golden Kirin only because our bones are hard, which means perseverance and blazing fire. Ha, those people in the sky want to subdue me, but they don’t know that my bones are harder than the immortal weapons in their hands!

“As for what the golden nature is, I dare not speak rashly. The golden elixir is the beginning of cultivation, and the golden immortal is the beginning of immortality. Who dares to say that he has comprehended the golden nature?

"If I were to just give my opinion, I think that the Golden Nature is definitely not just about being armed with weapons. The Golden Nature is the Nature of Immortality."

"Immortality?"

Cheng Xinzhan chewed over these three words.

"Yes, those people killed my body and annihilated my soul, but so what? As long as I have a thought, or in other words, as long as I have cultivated a ray of golden nature between heaven and earth, I can still prove my truth with my corpse and fight my way back to heaven! In this life, I am stronger than in the last one!"

"Even if they smash this corpse again, with this golden nature, can I not survive for a third life? If I survive for ten lives, who wouldn't call me a Golden Immortal!?"

At this moment, Jin Mingzi was full of vigor and unstoppable.

Cheng Xinzhan listened very carefully and wrote down every word of Jin Mingzi, while Zhu Jianmo also had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.

Just when Jin Mingzi finished talking about Jin Xing, the three of them heard a loud noise coming from the northeast corner, and the ground was shaking gently.

The light net covering Jin Mingzi's head gradually dissipated, and it seemed that they had succeeded.

Jin Mingzi laughed.
"My fellow lads, it has been over 1,400 years since I fell into the northwest. In fact, I have spent 1,200 years of my life in the underground caves. I have tasted the flavors of Yin Fire and Yang Fire, but they are nothing special!

"Today, I will ascend again to the realm of corpse immortal! Those people in the sky, please don't die too early!"

Jin Mingzi laughed loudly, with infinite light emanating from his body, and flew straight into the sky.

"Rumble--"

The land within the imperial mausoleum wall began to collapse, but the land outside was not damaged at all.

A ball of dazzling golden light flew out from the depths of the imperial tomb and went straight into the sky.

Cheng Xinzhan and Zhu Jianmo also flew out of the underground cave with Jin Mingzi before the ground collapsed. When they came out of the ground, they found that the sun was rising outside, and the bright golden light illuminated the earth. In the sunlight, the golden light that Jin Mingzi turned into was even more difficult to look at directly.

Suddenly, two suns appeared in the east and center of the sky, competing with each other for brilliance.

Cheng Xinzhan forced himself to open his eyes wide, and so did Zhu Jianmo next to him. This was ascension!
Cheng Xinzhan saw that in the golden light, Senior Jin Mingzi seemed to have transformed into a Qilin again. The scarred Qilin corpse came back to life, bathing in the golden light, stepping on the void, running, and striving towards the sky.

"Boom!"

After the ground collapsed, thunder was heard again.

The sun was shining, but thunderclouds appeared in the direction where the golden unicorn was rising.

Silver-purple thunder poured down, pouring onto the golden unicorn like water.

"I take the Earth Fire as a trivial matter, so why should I be afraid of the Sky Thunder?!"

The Golden Kylin shouted arrogantly. The thunder that fell head-on did not stop his body for a moment. He was still running in the air, and unexpectedly came to a place higher than the thunderclouds.

"The thorn has been buried in the rotten grass since it was young, and now it gradually feels like it is lying among the weeds. People at that time did not recognize the towering tree, until it reached the sky, people began to know how high it is!"

Jin Mingzi recited a poem in front of the whole world and entered the heaven amidst laughter.

Cheng Xinzhan stared at it infatuatedly. The unicorn's horns, its body, and its galloping in the thunder and fire were all imprinted in his mind. At the same time, the words echoed in his mind,
"The nature of gold is the nature of immortality."

At this moment, he witnessed Qilin ascending to heaven for revenge, and naturally added another sentence in his mind:
"It turns out that the Corpse Immortal is a War Immortal."

At this moment, he visualized the corpse of a golden unicorn, an immortal corpse.
