Cultivation Helped by Ancestors-Chapter 266 - 228: Fattening the Belly with Riches
Zhang Jian stepped forward to the place where the Earth Vein opening was located.
In the depths of the dwelling, a magnificent cyan-gold Ancient Sword fell at the edge of a Dragon Vein opening, and a talisman paper was affixed to the sword. At this moment, it emitted a majestic aura, as if countless Ancient Immortals were chanting together, purifying the resentful fiends in this area and firmly blocking them at the edge of the Earth Vein opening.
At the edge, many Daoists from the Dong Shen Temple maintained small altars with their Magical Power to prevent the Dragon’s Grudge from erupting.
Thus, the Dragon Vein Resentful Fiends wouldn’t scatter.
But clearly, this method only blocks one end, temporarily protecting the Daqian Dragon Vein from being eroded by the resentful fiends.
Yet, the Dragon Vein Resentful Fiends, being pressed, would flee aimlessly, poisoning other areas.
Obviously, it is tackling the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Chao Mu’s gaze fell on Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian walked straight forward, and within a step, he passed through some invisible Dharma Bans on the ground.
This ability made Chao Mu, the Primordial Spirit Master, solemn.
He deliberately didn’t inform Zhang Jian about the ground’s Dharma Bans, partly with an intention to test him. However, he couldn’t help but focus his gaze on Zhang Jian now.
Such effortless action made him pay close attention.
"Tongshan Dao Lineage?"
Chao Mu thought to himself.
Yet he watched Zhang Jian appear beside the opening, and with a wave of his hand, he removed the Grotto God Scripture from the Celestial Spirit Sword. This Grotto God Scripture flew back instantly to Chao Mu’s hand.
Then, as the Grotto God Scripture was taken out, countless roars from Yin Spirits and fierce ghosts arose from below, those piercing cries seemed capable of shredding souls and Yin Spirits alike.
And Zhang Jian, who was close by, was completely unharmed. With a wave of his hand, treasure mirrors formed by condensed Magical Power appeared around him. These clear and pure treasure mirrors not only hindered the countless Yin screeches but also reflected them back, causing the surging Dragon Vein Resentful Fiends to vanish by three parts.
"A fine Magic!"
Upon seeing this, a spark appeared in Chao Mu’s eyes.
He could see this was a Yin Spirit Level Technique, vast in power, with extremely strong defensive capabilities, and it seemed able to reflect.
The next moment, Zhang Jian opened his five fingers, as if a dense cyan Treasure Light radiated from them.
Cyan lotus leaves unfurled in succession, releasing a sacred, compassionate, transcendent Dao Charm that pierced through Yin and Yang.
It carried a deeper sense of redemption.
Seeing this, Chao Mu became solemn, for within that cyan Treasure Lotus, he seemed to see a majestic Divine Being emerging to redeem the world, resembling the Divine Image of the Ten Directions’ Suffering Relief Celestial Venerable in the depths of the Nine Netherworld.
Yet internally, it seemed somewhat different!
Then, a redemptive Divine Light swept through the depths of the Dragon Vein Resentful Fiends, separating the War Souls within from the resentment. Their obsessions were pierced by the warming cyan Treasure Light, collapsing and transforming hostility to harmony, as they involuntarily clasped their hands in prayer, each turning into a stream of light that entered the wheel-like cyan lotus.
"Success!"
Seeing this, Chao Mu’s gaze shifted.
His eyes reflected an unexpected tremor, mixed with wariness.
Holding mastery over death, he was well aware of the formidable obsessions of these Dragon Vein Resentful Fiend. Even someone like himself, a Primordial Spirit Master holding the death authority, could only limit himself to collecting a portion of the War Souls; any more would risk being countered by the Dragon Vein.
A Dragon Vein backlash is not something a Primordial Spirit Master can necessarily withstand.
While he consumed and suppressed rather than transcended.
Transcending a few War Souls is inconsequential, but the crucial point is whether Zhang Jian can transform all the resentful War Soul of the Dragon Vein.
Zhang Jian was indeed getting into the groove.
The resentful War Souls deep within the Dragon Vein were a huge piece of meat for the improved Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus Spell.
The cyan Treasure Light blossomed, directly converting many War Souls. Through the reincarnation portal within the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus, they entered the Netherworld.
Deep in Zhang Jian’s mind, he could feel that the Cyan Lotus Technique Model was consuming the stream-like soul essence, gradually taking shape.
Inside, the brilliance of the Savior Cyan Lotus Celestial Venerable slowly grew, emanating vast, majestic Divine Power.
However, as the Savior Cyan Lotus Celestial Venerable absorbed numerous soul essence and took shape, it reached a limit, seemingly unable to contain any more.
"Reached the limit so soon?"
Zhang Jian was a bit surprised.
At this moment, he perceived that the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus Spell Model had already materialized, emanating vast might.
To advance further, he’d need to breakthrough this technique to the Primordial Spirit Level.
For Zhang Jian, this posed a certain difficulty.
Though he modified the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus Spell, he hadn’t created a corresponding Primordial Spirit Level Technique Model.
Yet the influx of the soul origin continued unceasingly.
Other Yin Spirit Venerables might halt this technique, fearing that they couldn’t bear the backflow of such dense soul essence, thereby harming their Yin Spirit.
For Zhang Jian, it was no big deal.
He didn’t feel he reached a limit.
His Yin Spirit, carrying various Technique Models, felt relaxed overall, not finding these intangible soul essences troublesome.
With a thought, he integrated the absorbed soul essence into the Dragon Roar Sword within him, enhancing the charm of this Lifebound Treasure.
This indeed benefited the Dragon Roar Sword.
After the Dragon Roar Sword was almost saturated, he integrated the ongoing influx of soul essence into the Map of Mountains and Rivers Technique Model within him.
His Divine Light grew increasingly powerful.
From afar, Chao Mu saw this anomaly too, his gaze fluctuating. Clearly, the magnificent cyan lotus in Zhang Jian’s hand was extremely mysterious, not only capable of transcending War Souls but also absorbing a portion of purified soul essence to replenish oneself, aiding in cultivation.
Witnessing this Mysterious Technique, a peculiar light flickered in Chao Mu’s eyes, mixed with envy and admiration.
Even a Primordial Spirit Master can’t resist the temptation of such a Mysterious Technique.
But considering Zhang Jian’s revealed Dao Practice and the Tongshan Dao Lineage behind him, Chao Mu suppressed the ripples surfacing in his mind.
Such a Mysterious Technique, even if he envied it, is beyond his reach.
The Tongshan Dao Lineage is not to be trifled with.
Zhang Jian, now sat cross-legged atop the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus, exuding intense compassion, purification, and Divine Light, like a magnificent majestic Divine Being, his Divine Might continually expanding.
The more War Souls transformed by the Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus below, seems to make it grander, as though forming a giant cyan lotus ethereal Pure Land, with Great Divine Power spanning the majestic Yin and Yang Realms.
The abundant soul essence harmonized with various Technique Models within him.
Within half an hour, Zhang Jian sensed that his Yin Spirit Power, initially requiring time to accumulate, was gradually reaching the limit of the Yin Spirit Realm’s Second Tribulation.
Approaching the Third Tribulation!
This delighted Zhang Jian.
Yet at this moment, his eyes flickered as he sensed two King’s Mandates within him subtly stirring.
It seemed there was an unknown entity below that greatly attracted the two King’s Mandates.
"What is it?"
With contemplation, Zhang Jian then saw the gradually subsiding torrent of Dragon Soul Resentful Fiends below suddenly boil up.
