Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion-Chapter 2315 - : 1071, soul power

Chapter 2315: 1071, soul power

In the chamber, Han Muye watched as chunks of Source Stones shattered before him.

The Source Stones he had obtained from Daoist Cang Ming contained Source Power a hundred times that of ordinary Source Stones, likely what Xun Hao and others referred to as Origin Jade.

Source Stones, fine-grade Source Stones, Origin Jade.

It is said that Origin Jade can only be found in the deep parts of the Great Origin Stone Vein.

As the Source Power from all the Source Stones infused into his body, Han Muye’s meridians, like dried-up streams, were continuously struck and filled.

One by one, the acupoints lit up, drawing the Flowing Light within them to merge with the strength of the meridians in his body.

At this moment, Han Muye had infused Source Power into all eight of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, lighting up a total of eight thousand acupoints.

According to the standards of the ninth floor of the Rebirth Realm involving the penetration of the eight meridians and the lighting of three hundred and sixty acupoints, Han Muye’s current strength was more than twenty times that of an ordinary Rebirth Realm ninth level.

With such combat strength, even a cultivator from the Physical Body Mystery Hiding Realm would not be much better.

However, his Source Power was still thin, and he did not have enough to unleash his full strength many times.

“The entire Supreme Realm is troubled by insufficient Source Power, which is why they rely on the power of weapons and talismans in battle.”

Low-level cultivators enhance themselves with the power of talismans, while those in the Mystery Concealment Realm mainly rely on the power of weapons.

Having faced off with those cultivators from the Supreme Realm in the Divine Abyss, Han Muye had already sensed their reliance on and skill with the power of weapons.

Regrettably, such weapons were not to be found in the Nine Mysteries Dao, let alone the entire Nine Mysteries Mountain Range.

Circularing his Source Power to stabilize his cultivation, Han Muye was now at the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm.

To breakthrough to the Mystical Hidden Realm, all the opened acupoints and meridians must be infused, and Han Muye still needed a massive amount of Source Stones.

He opened his hand, revealing a fragment of a talisman, shattered, in his palm.

This talisman wasn’t drawn on talisman paper, but rather, it was engraved on green jade.

“Soul power?”

The engraving of the talisman didn’t just involve the use of Source Power; it also required the strength of the soul from those at the Soul Concealment level of the Mystical Hidden Realm.

No wonder this thing, though appearing simple, was rarely available.

In today’s Supreme Realm, since the Dao Merge no longer exists and Mystery Concealment is the peak, those in the Soul Concealment are among the very strongest. Who would be willing to use up their own soul power to refine such talismans for use in combat by low-level cultivators?

As he held the shattered green jade, a thread of faint Source Power poured in.

“Hum—”

Dark images began to flicker across Han Muye’s mind.

“Huh…”

He hadn’t expected the talisman to have been engraved by a cultivator from the Soul Hidden Boundary.

Instead, this talisman came from the most powerful sect in the Nine Mysteries Mountain Range, the True Dao Sect.

The disciples of the True Dao Sect skilled in the Practice of Talisman would engrave the embryo of the talisman, then place it on a stone platform.

Behind that stone platform stood the figures of eight people, each bound by golden Flowing Light Chains.

Unity Realm Stage.

These eight cultivators from the Unity Realm Stage had awakened from the ancient times, their power no longer matching this era, unable to Merge Dao, their cultivation lost.

But their souls were still strong, siphoned off bit by bit, they could infuse it into the talismans.

Not just into talismans.

In the center of the stone platform, a three-foot-long sword hovered.

The images in his mind dispersed, and a smile appeared on Han Muye’s face.

The True Dao Sect must be quite wealthy, right?

Could they have a lot of Source Stones?

————————————————

Qin Family.

Located at the foot of Nine Mystic Mountain, the Qin Family was the strongest clan within a hundred miles, controlling hundreds of miles around and nearly a hundred thousand acres of spiritual fields.

The Patriarch of the Qin Family, the old ancestor Qin Mingtang, was a powerful figure of the seventh level of the Detachment Realm.

However, Qin Mingtang was now at the eighth level of the Detachment Realm, making him one of the top figures within thousands of miles around the Nine Mysteries Mountain Range.

It was also for this reason that the Qin Family had recently formed close ties with several major sects, preparing to swallow up some small sects, then establish themselves as a sect.

They were no longer satisfied with just being a Cultivating Family; they aimed to become a major sect.

At this moment, within the grand hall of the Qin family, Qin Mingtang sat at the head, his face dark with gloom.

Below him, a multitude of Qin family experts all wore grave expressions.

In the center, a man in his forties appeared utterly bewildered.

“Patriarch, I did indeed receive a Gale Colt, but I didn’t have anyone go to shear the spiritual fields to feed it.”

“Patriarch, it’s just a Gale Colt, I have no reason to go to the Nine Mysteries Dao and shear their spiritual fields.”

Qin Feng was the third eldest of the Qin family’s second generation, with cultivation abilities already reaching the sixth layer of the Rebirth Realm.

He had obtained a Gale Colt some time ago, which was a real treasure.

Yet he had no idea why, just because of his Gale Colt, the Qin family had sparked a fierce conflict with the Nine Mysteries Dao.

The key point was, it seemed that the Qin family had suffered a huge loss this time.

“Third Brother, you didn’t send anyone to shear the spiritual fields, but those who wanted to curry favor with you did.”

A voice rose in the great hall.

“Exactly, the spiritual fields are the lifeline of the Nine Mysteries Dao. Going to shear them at this time would naturally lead them to fight desperately. No matter how you look at it, the Nine Mysteries Dao has been an inheritance for thousands of years, and there should be some reverence for these sects.”

Another person spoke out.

“I, I—” Qin Feng clenched his fists, his face flushed with the inability to argue.

What could he say?

Was he able to go and rescue the likes of Elder Qin Yue, who had fallen into the hands of the Nine Mysteries Dao?

Elder Qin Yue’s cultivation and combat strength were not much less than his, and among the other elders who had fallen into the Nine Mysteries Dao, two were also at the sixth layer of the Rebirth Realm.

Qin Feng was self-aware, knowing he had absolutely no chance of rescuing anyone from the hands of the Nine Mysteries Dao.

“Enough,” the family ancestor sitting at the forefront waved his hand and looked around, “Speaking of these matters now is useless.”

“The Nine Mysteries Dao wants our Qin family to pay a ransom of one hundred thousand Source Stones.”

One hundred thousand Source Stones!

Seeing that the opponent was about to grab his arm, he splashed the braised pork in his hand onto the other’s face, then smashed the bowl towards them.

“Ah!…”

The opponent’s face was covered in hot oil from the braised pork, and they instinctively turned around to cover their face.

Taking advantage of your illness to take your life!

Di Yelei swiftly swung the hand holding the broken bowl, hitting the opponent’s chest with a heavy punch. The opponent didn’t have time to react and was sent flying, crashing into a row of decorations and knocking them down, burying the general under them.

At this time, the soldiers standing on both sides of the tent finally reacted and rushed towards Di Yelei with loud shouts.

Di Yelei quickly grabbed a spear from behind and wielded it, pointing it at the soldiers with a series of spear movements. Soon, soldiers from another side also rushed over, encircling Di Yelei in the middle and fighting fiercely.

Inside the tent, wine and dishes were laid out at the moment.

Seated at the head was an official dressed in bright purple court attire, who was toasting to an old man in his fifties dressed in cloth clothing.

“Master, your student Zhang Liang pays his respects. It is an honor that you took the time to visit me while passing through this place. Today, I entertain you with light wine, hoping you will kindly impart your teachings.”

The old man waved his hand and sighed: “No harm done, no harm done! Today I just happened to pass by, heard that your troops were stationed here, and came with a chance, not expecting it to be really you. This is the fate of our master-student relationship.”

Zhang Liang also sighed inexplicably: “Isn’t it a fate? I just arrived here yesterday, and you happen to pass by today. Isn’t this a huge fate? I still remember when we first parted as master and student…”

Just at this moment, suddenly there was a violent noise outside, which made Zhang Liang frown and give a few instructions to his followers beside him.

Outside the tent, Di Yelei was in the midst of battling the soldiers.

Zhao Yuanlang and the elder Daoist saw that things were going badly and quickly dodged to the side.

Although this elder Daoist looked old, he was unusually good at escaping. While Di Yelei was fighting fiercely, he dragged Zhao Yuanlang to the southeast corner of the tent, eating the braised pork from the bowl without any concern for the battle happening outside.

Zhao Yuanlang was anxious: “Daoist, aren’t you good at prediction? Hurry up and calculate where we should go now!”

The elder Daoist was chewing on the braised pork, eating while his mouth was full of oil, without any concern.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. I have calculated it outside earlier, although our journey seems extremely dangerous with a slim chance to survive, the key to resolve it lies in your mighty general here!” While speaking, he pointed at Di Yelei with his greasy finger.

Zhao Yuanlang was anxious but didn’t know how to refute. Di Yelei was clearly his son-in-law, but the other party claimed he was his own general. Could this elder Daoist really be a scammer who cheats and eats?

However, at this point, there was no room for him to back down.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty. As the saying goes, every drink and meal are predestined, so let’s just sit here and enjoy ourselves while waiting. I believe that results will come out in a short while.” The elder Daoist didn’t care about the enemies surrounding him.

Zhao Yuanlang was burning with anxiety and wished he could rush up to help.

In front of Di Yelei, there were three layers of people surrounding him, and for a moment, there were earth-shattering sounds of shouting and killing. Although the crowd was dense, no one could get close to Di Yelei.

At first, Zhao Yuanlang couldn’t understand what was going on, but as Di Yelei fought more and more bravely, his suspended heart gradually calmed down.

It seemed that the Daoist was right. Di Yelei was indeed a fierce and brave general. It was a pity for him to be a general in a small place like Macheng County!

Just as the fighting was getting fiercer on this side, in the tent as well, there were “ping pang” sounds generated.

Seeing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Zhang Liang had no choice but to stand up: “Master, please wait for a while, and I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

The elder obviously understood the intention behind the other party’s move and casually nodded in agreement.

“Fine then, you may leave!”

Once Zhang Liang left the tent, the elder thought for a moment before stepping out of the tent as well.

Outside the tent, Di Yelei was still heavily surrounded by the crowd.

“Stop! Everyone, stop!”

Zhang Liang stepped forward and looked down condescendingly at Di Yelei, who was trapped in the middle.

“Who are you? Why did you kill my soldiers here and break into my residence without permission?”

Di Yelei looked at the other party, and the murderous intent on his face gradually faded.

“I am Captain Zhiguo Di Yelei. I came here today to find someone. I have no intention of offending you, General, or of killing anyone.”

Di Yelei? As soon as the elder heard this name, his expression changed immediately.

“Oh? So you’re actually a captain? All of you, back off.”

Zhang Liang casually waved off his soldiers, then looked intently at Di Yelei once again, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed, and the better he felt about him.

“You said you came here to find someone? Who are you looking for?”

“Naturally, I’m looking for the Post-house Minister of this place!”

Di Yelei glanced slightly in the direction of Zhao Yuanlang. Zhao Yuanlang said that he wanted to find someone here, so it should be the Post-house Minister of this place, right? After all, the highest-ranking official in the hostel was the Post-house Minister.

“Then I’m afraid you’re too late. The original officials here rebelled and have been executed by me.”

Zhang Liang’s face changed instantly, pointing his finger at Di Yelei, “Humph! With your righteous demeanor, how dare you rebel as well? And even have the audacity to collude with these rebels! Bring this man to me! Whoever captures him and takes his head will be heavily rewarded by me!”

“Yes, Great General!”

The surrounding soldiers obeyed the order and gathered around. With his command, a series of clashing sounds rang out from the periphery, and dark shields quickly rose up all around. The powerful crossbows nearby were also pulled to their full extent, ready to shoot Di Yelei into a sieve and turn him into a hedgehog with just one order.

Di Yelei broke out into a cold sweat!

Although he had never seen the destructive power of such strong crossbows, even with the last two thunderbolt bombs in his hands, breaking through the encirclement of these soldiers would not be an easy task! Moreover, he couldn’t just abandon the others and escape on his own…

But now he had no other choice!

Di Yelei secretly gripped the last two thunderbolt bombs, silently assessing the situation around him and looking for a breakthrough.

Just as the tense scene was on the verge of exploding, a cry of surprise and joy suddenly rang out.

“Wait! Everyone, hold your fire!”

Qin Mingtang asked in a low voice.

“Reporting to the Patriarch, they sent eight people and brought thirty thousand Source Stones, exchanging them to retrieve Daoist Cang Ming and the others from the Light Spirit Taoist Sect who were lost to the Nine Mysteries Dao,” answered the elder.
