Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 301 - 272: Heavenly Emperor’s Emperor Seal, One Qi God Transformation Tripod.

Chapter 301: Chapter 272: Heavenly Emperor’s Emperor Seal, One Qi God Transformation Tripod.

Yin Mountain Range, Song Lin flew all the way.

Golden Bull Ridge.

In the midst of the surrounding mountains, a small plain had been developed, with a total of one hundred thousand acres of arable land. The county town nestled against the mountains, with hills behind and streets spread along both sides of the river.

Several bridges connected the two sides.

To prevent landslides, the Taoist Temple had arranged for Kui Dragon to reinforce the mountain, ensuring that even during an earthquake, the mountain would not collapse.

The county town was newly built, and while the streets were a bit desolate, signs of life were gradually increasing.

It had not yet been reported to the Taoist School or the court.

The source of the county’s revenue was already being explored.

Agriculture merely maintained basic livelihoods, but to improve the residents’ quality of life, new sources of income had to be established.

Song Lin, disguised as a merchant, walked along the streets.

On both sides of the street were mostly restaurants and fur shops, with outward merchants bargaining with shopkeepers.

Since the road connecting to the outside world was built, merchants had begun to venture into this area.

Though the Yin Mountains were dangerous, teeming with wolves, tigers, and leopards, as well as unpredictable miasma and venomous insects.

Yet, faced with the triple profit margins for fur and medicinal herbs compared to the outside world, merchants flocked here despite the risks.

Besides fur shops, every household in Golden Bull County raised some poisonous creatures.

Poisonous frogs, venomous snakes, centipedes, fire ants, scorpions, and various types of fungi.

Since the mountains were rife with snakes and insects, the villagers often dealt with such creatures.

Under the guidance of the Five Poison Temple, most families kept these creatures.

High-quality specimens were purchased at high prices by the Taoist Temple, whereas even inferior ones could be dried and sold as medicinal ingredients to merchants.

Song Lin took all this in with his eyes.

At last, the operations had normalized.

This signified that the area indeed had long-term development potential as a county town, further encroaching on the survival space of demons.

Before he realized it, he had already arrived at the Five Poison Temple situated on the mountainside.

The Five Poison Temple currently had few personnel, with only around thirty people skilled in corpse manipulation and Gu techniques.

Xiao Xuan was directing people as they arranged the dharma altar.

"Careful, the Yin Snake Gu is no trifling matter."

Xiao Xuan cautioned cautiously.

They were in a region filled with dense earth vein yin energy.

The Taoist Temple was hidden amid eerie green mists.

To ordinary mortals, this place was a death trap.

He hadn’t noticed an additional presence near him. When he turned around, he was startled.

"Temple Master?"

Xiao Xuan bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities. How goes your cultivation of Gu techniques?"

"I have already cultivated the Lifebound Golden Silkworm Gu. My True Qi has also been transformed into Ten Thousand Poison Golden Silkworm True Qi. In a few more days, the Gu techniques should catch up to my cultivation level."

Xiao Xuan responded.

The Lifebound Gu is closely linked to one’s cultivation level. The Golden Silkworm Gu is merely a common poison Gu, but as one’s cultivation improves, its characteristics can be continuously enhanced.

This is the essence of the ever-changing Gu techniques.

"Good, keep it up."

After inspecting the place, Song Lin moved on to his next destination.

He took note of the key points of the Gu techniques. To prevent the practitioners from straying off track, Song Lin planned to gather more knowledge about Gu techniques in the story world.

Of course, this knowledge wouldn’t be shared freely; it would be distributed according to their strength and yin merit.

Since Song Lin didn’t practice Gu techniques himself, maintaining authority in this manner was essential.

Without establishing authority, there would inevitably be future divisions within the jungle.

After meeting Xiao Xuan, Song Lin ventured deeper into the Yin Mountains.

The area was an ancient forest, where even the thinnest trees required five people to encircle.

Deep within the forest was a cold pond spanning ten li in radius.

Looking down from above, the pond’s pitch-black water exuded icy cold energy.

The water’s clarity indicated shallowness, green hues signified depth, and blackness represented abyssal depths.

The black waters implied that the pond was akin to a chasm.

On both sides of the pond were Taoist Soldiers and villagers working on construction.

The people below also noticed Song Lin high in the sky.

Whoosh!

Shi Yinhua swiftly flew over.

"Is this the place you’ve chosen?"

Song Lin asked.

"Indeed. The new Divine Medium Immortal Temple will be here. However, it won’t be called Divine Medium Immortal Temple anymore—it will be called Dragon Pond Temple, and this place shall be known as Dragon Pond!"

Shi Yinhua replied.

This area would have disciples assigned as Temple Masters.

However, in the initial stages, Shi Yinhua himself would have to oversee the place.

"Return to the temple in three days. I have a Magic Skill to pass on to you."

Song Lin suddenly realized that Shi Yinhua was quite suited for cultivating the Netherworld Demon Scripture Map.

The Five Immortals White Bone Dharma Form on him could also serve as a Divine Demon.

"Understood."

"What’s the current population of Dragon Pond County?"

"Just over eight thousand. If it doesn’t reach ten thousand, I plan to relocate some people from Shanyin."

"Alright, handle it yourself, and make sure to establish four county towns."

If the four county towns were successfully built, the goal of twenty thousand Taoist Merit should be accomplished.

The only remaining tasks would be to break through the Purple Mansion and defeat Zhengsi.

With that, the Donghua Jungle would be fully established.

"As always, adhere to the precepts—no interference in mortal affairs,"

Song Lin admonished.

"This disciple will remember it well!"

Tranquility and natural order are the foundation for enduring peace and stability.

Many might not understand why cultivation isn’t about carefree freedom, but instead requires adherence to strict rules.

Besides the precepts, members of the Donghua Alliance are actually quite free.

Sometimes adhering to precepts isn’t just about self-discipline; it’s often about self-preservation—protecting the Spirit Platform’s clarity and ensuring personal safety.

The most direct example was the old Taoist from Emei Mountain, who had become deranged, believing himself to represent the Heavenly Dao and Righteous Path, forcibly subjugating all living things. Such actions were no different from the Demon Path, and he was ultimately eradicated along with his lineage by Song Lin.

In the Donghua Dharma Lineage’s words, he violated the Three Laws.

If Donghua Dharma Lineage disciples behaved similarly, they would inevitably provoke formidable enemies and meet destruction.

Of course, adhering to precepts doesn’t mean showing leniency to one’s enemies.

Song Lin employed numerous insidious tactics against those who sought trouble with him.

As the saying goes: If others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them.

Moreover, anyone who interacted with Donghua Temple unfailingly praised its generosity—business dealings left others with a share, and visiting Taoists were readily offered exchanges of expertise.

"There are still two more temples to establish, but no rush—there’s still nine years left."

Boom!

Just as he was thinking this, wind and thunder erupted from the summit of Yin Mountain.

Above the sky appeared a grand three-legged, two-eared Xuanhuang Tripod.

From within the tripod, miles-long Xuanhuang Qi flew out.

The Xuanhuang Qi had brows and eyes, full of spiritual vitality, and coiled around the tripod like a Divine Dragon.

Then the grand tripod flipped upside down, its mouth facing downward, and the sky darkened. Countless streaks of Xuanhuang Qi began flying wildly in all directions.

The space seemed to be engulfed within the grandeur of the tripod.

"What is this?" Shi Yinhua exclaimed in terror.

"Not good!"

Song Lin’s brows shone brightly with the Emperor Seal’s radiance.

Boom!

A Human Emperor Sword materialized in the void.

The sword’s light was resplendent as the sun, illuminating the Ten Directions World!

The Human Emperor Sword was much smaller than in the story world.

Yet its power was undeniably extraordinary.

Song Lin, traveling through the story world, encountered three peculiar events—some blessings could manifest directly without requiring exchange.

The Queen Mother of the West’s Moon Cultivation Pattern, Golden Crow Yang Pattern.

The Heavenly Emperor’s Emperor Seal—all directly carried into reality.

Now, with the Emperor Seal fully activated, the Human Emperor Sword could also be summoned into the real world.

It seems that these mythical principals possess powers capable of influencing reality.

The moment the Human Emperor Sword appeared.

The sky returned to normal, and the grand tripod vanished.

Shi Yinhua and the others were still alive, with the only noticeable difference being the complete absence of nearby demonic energy.

Song Lin withdrew the divine sword and gazed into the distance.

"The One Qi God Transformation Tripod—Heavenly Master’s Magic Treasure. No need to hide, Master Zhengsi."

As his words fell, the void slowly revealed a young Taoist.

"What a coincidence, Master Song. Are you also here to slay demons? This quasi-acquired spiritual treasure is superb; how about teaming up?"

Magic treasures are classified into spiritual treasures and magic treasures.

Each is further divided into innate and acquired realms.

A quasi-acquired spiritual treasure is an exceptional Dao Artifact that hasn’t birthed True Spirit.

"No thanks."

Song Lin responded impassively.

"Alright then, I’ll continue demon-slaying. Forgive me for not accompanying you!"

Whoosh!

Zhengsi transformed and disappeared.

"Temple Master, this shameless man dared to intercept us!"

Shi Yinhua spoke angrily.

Under the One Qi God Transformation Tripod, all living beings were depleted, leaving behind less than one percent of essence and qi. What use would this barren land be to them?

Moreover, acting under the guise of demon extermination left them powerless to counteract, as Zhengsi didn’t violate agreements or attack them directly.

"It’s fine. Slaying demons and eradicating evil is always beneficial."

Song Lin’s eyes gleamed.

Currently, the Donghua Dharma Lineage had amassed more than eleven thousand yuan yin merit, still lacking over eight thousand.

Without demons, constructing county towns would yield at most twenty thousand yin merit.

The worst part was that Zhengsi even slaughtered mountain villagers, forcing Song Lin to relocate people from the outside.

Coupled with the thinness of essence and qi, they had to rent large tracts of blessed land at exorbitant prices.

Costs had increased tenfold.

Overall, what was previously balanced is now outright buying yin merit at a loss.

He needed to find a place where disciples could slay demons, thus reducing expenses.

"I’ll make you repay today’s losses, one bite at a time."

Song Lin’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

Once Donghua Jungle was established and he broke free of his confines, Mei Mountain would never see a single business deal—he would suppress it on all fronts. ƒreewebɳovel.com
