Chapter 108: Eight Trigrams Talisman

  Shrouded in the primordial chaos, Jiang Bieli was suppressed for a day and night in the Yu Tower, already exhausted and drained of energy. He relied on the remaining thunder power from the bronze bottle to sustain himself. Suddenly, he was grabbed by Chu Ping and lifted up, causing Jiang Bieli to instantly awaken from his daze, shouting loudly, "Fellow Taoist, spare me for now, I will repay you myself!"

  Chu smiled calmly, simply playing with the octagonal bronze bottle in his hand. However, this bottle was made of bronze, mixed with many star sand pearls and jade, countless tiny jade fragments scattered all over the copper bottle, like fireflies, shining with a soft luster.

  Inside the bottle, there are countless arrays, but nothing is out of the ordinary. It's just that the small copper bottle develops countless overlapping spaces inside to hold the refined thunder and lightning. The most mysterious place about this eight-sided bronze bottle is the eight talismans stuck on the mouth of the eight sides.

  The jade seal of the Eight Trigrams, like paper in texture, light as a floating leaf, with some simple strokes engraved on it. Chu Ping's divine eyes scanned it and found that it was actually the simplest form of the eight trigrams from the Book of Changes!

  Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, Marsh, Water, Fire!

  A strange and mysterious power emerged from the eight talismans, and Chu Ping tried to release a thread of electric energy from the Ruyi Pearl. The eight beams of light shot up into the sky, and the thread of electric energy rushed in, only to be immediately suppressed by the heavens and earth, with wind and thunder colliding, mountains and rivers collapsing, water and fire invading each other, becoming as soft as water, and falling into the copper bottle!

  "What a mysterious and wonderful formation, exquisite talismans! In this way, it can be called the Eight Trigrams Hidden Thunder!"

  Chu Ping was overjoyed in his heart, and the true energy on his hand burst out, jumping into the air and transforming into a streak of golden flames, wanting to re-smelt the copper vase. Who would have thought that as soon as the golden fire touched the copper vase, a thread of lightning power immediately emerged, blocking the golden light.

  Chu Ping saw the situation, gave a cold laugh and said in a flat tone, "Jiang Bie Li, if you can dispel the seal of divine consciousness within the bronze bottle by yourself, I might spare your life. But if you refuse to cooperate, I'll have no choice but to kill you and then drive out the divine consciousness from the bottle!"

  Jiang Bie Li hummed and hesitated in the light ball, and replied in a low voice, "Can you keep your word?"

  Chu Ping smiled and said, "What's the point of not counting, killing you won't do me any good either. It's just that for now I have to keep you here, in case you go out and spread rumors, causing trouble for me."

  Jiang Bieli thought carefully and decided that he had to prioritize his own life first, so he scattered the divine seal imprint from the bronze vase!

  The bronze vase's imprint disappeared, instantly a myriad of rays shot out in all directions, sharp and fine as needle points, like crossbow arrows, like lightning, flying and flashing, dazzling the eyes.

  "Indeed, it's a good treasure!" Chu Ping secretly exclaimed, tilting the bottle mouth, and instantly countless thunderbolts surged out, all of which were moved by Chu Ping using the Cosmic Tower to another heavy space.

  Electric light flashed, Chu Ping's hand rekindled the golden fire, refining the bronze bottle into a piece of juice water. The eight talismans floated lightly and flew up, the jade bead suddenly spun out, and the eight silk threads wrapped around, pulling the eight jade symbols in!

  Yu Fu entered the Ruyi Pearl, and was refined by Chu Ping's heart and spirit. It transformed into eight tiny spheres that floated inside the pearl, like bright stars in a dark night sky, shining with dazzling light and radiating brilliance.

  Inside Chu Ping's divine consciousness, a new scene suddenly appeared. Vast and endless skies, thick and heavy earth, fierce whirlwinds, majestic thunder, continuous giant mountains, muddy swamps, raging wildfires, and rumbling water flows.

  The eight trigrams' scenery revolved in succession, perfectly matching the Eight Trigrams' symbol. The space inside the wish-fulfilling pearl suddenly expanded by an unknown number of times, as if forming a brand new universe, with all phenomena on display.

  The aura responded, and strands of yuanqi spiritual energy overflowed from the eight trigrams, sometimes light and agile, sometimes thick and heavy, sometimes warm and gentle, and sometimes violent... Various powers with different attributes nourished Chu Ping's physical body, his muscles and veins became more solid, and his entire being became even more ethereal.

  "Open Sesame!"

  Chu Ping's right hand lifted, and a small space in front of him suddenly cracked open, unleashing countless thunder dragons and electric snakes that hissed and roared as they poured out. In an instant, the air was filled with surging lightning, radiant light flashing, dazzling and mesmerizing.

  Chu Ping stood amidst the chaos, as thunder and lightning suddenly surged towards him like the rage of the Nine Heavens' Thunder God. A powerful and deadly aura continued to spread outwards, but Chu Ping remained unmoving. Suddenly, eight bright lights appeared in his palm, circulating endlessly, and a swirling vortex materialized among them. The wildly raging thunder and lightning were instantly drawn into the vortex by a strong gust of wind, rushing to enter it in a frenzy.

  Lightning entered his body, Chu Ping's physique slightly shook, and he immediately operated the Xuan Gong. The eight talismans seemed to melt into his body, and instantly the power of the eight phases burst forth, suppressing the lightning that was as fierce as a dragon and as majestic as a tiger, transforming it into a stream of yuanqi like water, condensing into one, flowing through Chu Ping's entire meridian, nourishing his already extremely powerful indestructible diamond body!

  Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, swirling around his body before converging into the Ruyi Pearl. However, it did not disperse and instead coalesced into a massive dragon of lightning that stretched and transformed within the boundless space inside the pearl, twisting and turning like a real dragon.

  Chu Ping was slightly surprised, but didn't mind, letting it go. With a slight movement of her heart, the Lei Jing that had been quietly accumulating in the Ruyi Pearl suddenly escaped from her hand. The originally gentle Lei Guang, which had been as docile as a sheep, instantly became ferocious like a wolf once it was outside her body, wanting to devour people!

  "Good, good! I don't know who created such a wonderful Bagua talisman, subduing the heavenly thunder and riding on lightning. It's truly extraordinary!" Chu Ping couldn't help but praise, and he stored all the scattered thunder and lightning into the Ruyi Pearl. Instantly, the world cleared up and returned to calmness.

  After refining the Eight Trigrams talisman, Chu Ping scattered the copper bottle's liquid in front of him, transforming it into strands of yuanqi that returned to heaven and earth. He arrived before Jiang Bie Li and said loudly, "Jiang Bie Li, now I am keeping my promise, sparing your life. You should cultivate well within this cosmic tower, reflecting on your past mistakes. When you understand the heavenly way's benevolence, I will release you!"

  He didn't care how Jiang reacted after saying that, and with a wave of his hand, he sent him into another small space.

  After parting with Jiang, Chu Ping's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her hand moved slightly. The light ball containing the giant spirit suddenly appeared before her eyes. Through the light ball, one could still see the majestic body of the giant spirit tumbling inside, its massive purple energy rushing about ceaselessly, causing the light ball to wobble slightly. Immediately afterwards, another ray of light shot down from the universe tower, solidifying the light ball once again.

  "The powerful Golden Ape, although a naturally born spiritual beast, is of little use to me! I'm just a minor Golden Ape realm cultivator, not yet luxurious enough to raise a spiritual beast! But this ape has extraordinary innate talent and boundless strength, after some time, it won't be easy to deal with!"

  Chu Ping's eyebrows furrowed, after all, she had a history with Jiu Lingzi and couldn't bring herself to attack him.

  "Alright, I'll send it back to the sect later and let Master decide what to do with it! By the way, speaking of the sect, I think there's still that one banner I got from Sun Boji last time that hasn't been dealt with yet. I've also been thinking about asking Master to help resolve the vengeful spirits on it. It looks like I'll have to make a trip back to Wuxiang Temple soon!"

  Having made up her mind, Chu Ping smiled slightly and left the tower. Her consciousness returned to her body, and she closed her eyes to rest.

  All kinds of support!!!!!
