Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 345 - 301: The Initial Formation of the Hidden Pulse, Sword Concealed in the Sheath.
"You!"
Mo Liqing glared, about to make a move, but was stopped by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"There’s no need for violence, let’s talk it out,"
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s gaze turned towards the Jade Emperor.
As long as the Jade Emperor turned against him, the Buddhist Sect would intervene in this matter, just like how the World Venerable suppressed the Heavenly Great Saint to suppress Song Lin.
The Jade Emperor was silent for a moment, and Song Lin quickly spoke up.
"This is an internal matter of the Heavenly Court. Now that the traitor is dead, the Heavenly Court is revitalized. It’s a time of prosperity and rejuvenation; there’s no need for your intervention. Moreover..."
Song Lin’s tone turned colder, filled with murderous intent, saying: "When the World Venerable passed into Nirvana, he mentioned that the Age of Dharma Decline is approaching. Demons cloaked in kasaya, spreading deceitful words, corrupting Buddhist Law; whether this happens, I do not know, but if you overstep today, I guarantee there will be no temples or monks in the Eastern Land. My disciples and descendants will take it as their mission to eradicate Buddhism for generations!"
Currently, Mahayana Buddhism has yet to spread to the Eastern Land; the temples there are few and insignificant, unable to compete with the Pure Yang Sect. Even without Pure Yang Sect’s involvement, the court alone could crush them easily.
"How dare you!"
The disciples of the Buddhist Sect looked furious, while the Pure Yang Immortals were on edge.
Ultimately, it was the Jade Emperor who mediated.
"Bodhisattva, you should return. This matter is entirely the fault of Gold Star Taibai. Song Lin is a loyal minister,"
The Jade Emperor gave it a conclusion.
He didn’t want to continue fighting.
If the Buddhist Sect and Pure Yang Sect engage in a major conflict within the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court would suffer the most loss.
Guanyin had no choice but to leave, and as she departed, there was a faint smile on her lips.
Soon, the results of the great upheaval in Heaven spread across the Three Realms.
At that moment, the Three Realms were once again in an uproar.
The only successful great disturbance in Heaven in history.
Thousands of years ago, Huaguang attacked the South Heavenly Gate, but failed before even breaking through the gate.
Decades ago, both the Heavenly Great Saint and Great Sage Equalling Heaven broke through the South Heavenly Gate, but in the end, retreated shamefully, and until now, the Heavenly Great Saint has yet to reappear.
And today, the Pure Yang Sect Leader led the Pure Yang Immortals all the way to the Palace of the Polestar, forcing the Jade Emperor to bow and even killing Gold Star Taibai.
Though Song Lin repeatedly claimed to be a loyal minister following the Jade Emperor’s orders, it was clear to many what the real situation was.
Now, the Acquired Immortal had established themselves.
The scattered immortals secluded in the East Sea could no longer sit still.
They once followed Lishan, but now with Lishan defeated, the Pure Yang Sect has gained great momentum, establishing a stronghold within the Heavenly Court.
Giant Turtle Island of the East Sea’s 72 Islands, the residence of Jie Tao, the leader of the Seventy-two Island Immortals.
Jie Tao was also a Loose Immortal cultivator, highly regarded among overseas immortals, skilled in artifact refining, and rumored his cultivation techniques came from Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad.
At this moment, a subordinate came to report.
Jie Tao, a middle-aged man with a scholar’s appearance, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "I shall soon request an audience with the leader of the Pure Yang Sect."
Most immortals on the overseas immortal mountains do not wish to ascend to the Heavenly Court and be enslaved by the Jade Emperor, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to ascend.
The essence and qi in the Immortal Realm is far richer than in the mortal world.
If not for lack of choice, they would not have wasted half their lives overseas.
Now is the time to visit Emperor Donghua.
Lishan.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, the Golden Cauldron remained silent for a long time.
Could it be that the prosperity of the Three Pure Dao is meant to rest on Song Lin?
Impossible!
Song Lin cannot defeat the World Venerable, at best he can barely maintain the status quo.
The true prosperity should rest on the Heavenly Great Saint.
Thinking of this, the Golden Cauldron took out the silk bag left by the Lishan Mother before her seclusion.
Upon opening it, it read that the Heavenly Great Saint would emerge five hundred years later.
"So that’s it,"
The Golden Cauldron swiftly understood.
It seems that the Big Sister and the World Venerable have compromised somewhat.
The Heavenly Great Saint’s disturbance led to his confinement for five hundred years, while maintaining the Buddhist Sect’s position within the Heavenly Court.
In five hundred years, it would be the time for the Three Pure Dao to flourish.
...
The Heavenly Court.
Pure Yang Immortal Mansion.
The immortals gathered, raising their cups in celebration.
Victory! Victory!
This battle against the heavens achieved an unprecedented victory.
The strong Acquired Immortals now held high positions of authority, no longer to be trifled with by anyone.
Even if the Jade Emperor wanted to deal with them, he must reconsider multiple times.
The next disturbance in heaven wouldn’t be as simple as injuring muscles and bones.
All of this stemmed from Song Lin’s keen insight.
The Heavenly Court indeed possessed profound heritage, but he identified the Heavenly Court’s most fatal weakness—the Jade Emperor.
During the height of the feast, Song Lin suddenly said, "I shall soon enter long seclusion, take good care of yourselves."
There’s more than four hundred years until the beginning of the Journey to the West.
Song Lin’s goal during this time is simple.
First, to refine treasure pills, elevating the Rejuvenation Pill technique to the level of Great Rejuvenation Pill (from Seventh to Ninth Transformation).
Second, to fully absorb Lord Lao Zi’s pills, striving to push the Golden Body to the Ninth Transformation.
If the karma reaches fifty percent and the above two conditions are met, achieving Karma EffectCompletion and transcending the world would be within reach.
The 220th year of Journey to the West.
The Pure Yang Sect Leader announced seclusion; the Heavenly Court returned to normalcy, with the immortals following the Jade Emperor, Lord of the Three Realms, as if everything restored to normal.
The 250th year of Journey to the West.
Song Lin’s Golden Body advanced to the Sixth Transformation, and East Sea’s scattered immortals came to pledge allegiance.
Simultaneously, Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect held secret talks; the Jade Emperor decided to allow the transmission of Buddhism to the East.
......
The Real World.
Deep within Yin Mountain.
At midnight, a profound silence reigned.
In a dark forest, nine figures stood in the shadows between the trees.
Suddenly, another person appeared out of thin air, hovering three zhang above the ground, overlooking everyone.
This person was Song Lin.
"Greetings to the Taoist!"
Except for Zhi Xin, the other eight knelt down, including Xiang Ling from the Ghost Market.
"Rise."
Song Lin slowly descended to the ground.
"Taoist Master,"
Zhi Xin bowed deeply before everyone.
It instilled a sense of the Taoist Master’s authority, an inviolability by anyone.
"Who are these people?"
"Heirs of the Hidden Pulse."
Zhi Xin turned, walking one by one in front of each person.
"Sword Guard, Innate Geng Metal Body, a member of the Xuanzong Shangqing Dao Alliance. True Guard, Innate Yang Body, who wouldn’t live past eighteen, suitable for cultivation and life extension, a resident of the Black Heaven Law Realm. Lei Guard, a person from the Spirit Treasure Sect Mansion, born sensing thunder qi. Immortal Guard (Divine Medium Immortal), a wild man, raised by beasts... Demon Guard Xiang Ling, you should recognize."
Apart from Xiang Ling, Zhi Xin had spent considerable effort traversing the lands to select the most suitable heirs through Miao Technique and Da Yan Heavenly Mechanism Skill.
More crucially, most of these people had past resentments with the Holy Might Taoist School or the Heaven and Earth Xuanmen Alliance.
Such an enormous cost would be impossible to recover without relying on pills for several hundred years of nurturing.
Song Lin scrutinized these individuals.
Their eyes burned with fire, the fire of revenge and anger, the fire against worldly injustice.
At the same time, they possessed extraordinary talents, destined to unleash vast energy in the future.
They had no names, only titles bearing the names of their magic veins as their monikers.
These individuals would become the sharpest knives at his disposal.
But they were not to be the strongest leaders.
Most of them had higher talents than Shi Yinhua, Guu Yuchan and others.
However, they lacked the charisma of a leader, an indescribable quality.
To become a leader capable of suppressing the world as a Heavenly Master, talent alone never suffices.
Only Xiang Ling had the potential for developing leadership qualities, while the others didn’t.
Of course, being a Hidden Pulse, focused on shady dealings means that only strength matters.
With this thought, Song Lin bestowed upon them the completion of Taoist Skill.
A total of eight techniques.
Swordsmanship, Cultivation, Thunder Skill, Military Skill, Divine Medium Immortal Technique, Taiyin Refining Technique, Corpse Gu, Netherworld Demon.
After years of refinement within Journey to the West World, they flawlessly integrated with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, with each magic vein having a route to reach the Purple Mansion.
"In the future, the magic veins shall consider Xiang Ling’er as the Hidden Taoist Master, and you must follow her orders!"
"Yes!"
With a visible Taoist Master comes a Hidden Taoist Master.
As a Core Formation cultivator, Xiang Ling’er was stronger than these mortals, qualifying her as a Hidden Taoist Master.
The Hidden Pulse doesn’t follow Taoist Soldiers but rather focuses on a darker path of Divine Demons.
If something happened to Song Lin, it signified that the gentle approach led by Song Lin had failed.
The Donghua Hidden Pulse would operate clandestinely as a radical path, like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath, waiting for the opportunity to rise.
Ten years of development awaited.
A legitimate heir secluded for ten years might come up with some measures afterward.
Song Lin didn’t trust the Heavenly Master’s words; it was better to develop power discreetly than allow the opponent to act on their consciousness.
"The Hidden Pulse’s strength is too weak; your pills might be required. Furthermore, I plan to embark on a journey under the pretense of traveling to the Yuanfu Taoist School, where a friend of mine possesses a blessed land with ten times the time flow..."
Zhi Xin’s plan was simple.
It was to secretly take them into the Time Blessed Land.
During this period, Song Lin would prepare the pills.
Sparing no resource cost, refine pills and have them consumed.
In the effects of the Time Blessed Land and the pills, further utilizing a Feng Shui secret formation to catalyze potential, they would swiftly enhance their strength.
"Within sixty years in the blessed land, seven can reach Core Formation, while Xiang Ling can enter the Purple Mansion, at the cost of only living two Jiazi, provided your Three-Transformation Spirit Pill quantity suffices."
This method equals helping seedlings grow by force, a last resort.
Of course, not everyone can forcefully nurture talent; after all, these were geniuses selected from billions.
Talent, time, potential, pills, and Zhi Xin were indispensable.
The life span for Core Formation is a thousand years, yet they only last a hundred and twenty; the same goes for the Purple Mansion.
To see this method’s cruelty is evident.
"Do you agree?"
Song Lin looked at them.
"Taoist Master, we are willing!"
Just to seek revenge on this world, they would be willing even for half a Jiazi.
Soon, Zhi Xin left with everyone.
Song Lin stood in silence for a moment.
His retribution against the Taoist School had commenced!
With that, he returned to the Donghua Jungle.
Firstly, to practice alchemy, and secondly, to begin the Nine-Transformation Copper Skin Iron Bone Immortal Technique.
The story world has reached the sixth transformation, comparable to a lower-grade Taoist device, yet in the real world, he hasn’t begun—somewhat laughable.
After beginning, there’s also the need to take time to visit the two jungles of yin talisman.
A vast net was slowly unfolding.
Someday, in this real world.
A Big Mess in Heaven would also ensue!
