This Taoist Master is too Frivolous-Chapter 453 - 317: Let me gather the divine power talisman first!
Chapter 453: Chapter 317: Let me gather the divine power talisman first!
Zongsheng Palace.
Under the Ginkgo tree planted by Laozi himself, Wang Hou and Grandmaster Chengming, the two strongest people in Da Xia, stared at each other, both with a look of “seeing a ghost” on their faces.
“Damn it!”
“Is that even possible?”
Wang Hou couldn’t help but swear.
As for Grandmaster Chengming, he stared at Xu Yang, feeling the aura around Xu Yang, his eyes flickering, saying, “72 Earth Devils Skill, Sitting in Fire… this kid, where did he get so many divine power cultivation methods?”
……
Sitting in Fire is a divine power in the 72 Earth Devils Skill.
As the name suggests, one can sit comfortably in fire.
Once this divine power is cultivated, one would not be afraid of fire, and can travel through and shuttle between flames with ease.
Since crafting the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” in Fengdu City brought about ominous effects, Xu Yang would occasionally receive a system prompt sound these past couple of days.
Thinking it over, it seemed normal.
The Underworld’s Bureau of Laws had “proved” the effect of the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman,” so the ghosts naturally believed it without any doubt.
After they received the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” and didn’t see the “omen” coming, they became even more scared.
The most important thing was that before leaving the underworld, Xu Yang asked Lord Cui for help… every six hours, a random unlucky ghost would be picked to be messed with, preferably in public, then spread the news that they had received the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” and encountered the “omen.”
As a result, those ghosts who received the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” were bound to be even more anxious!
It made sense for Xu Yang to continuously receive merit and divine power!
Some bolder ghosts might only provide it three or four times a day.
But the timid ones would provide it a dozen or twenty times a day!
In just two or three days, many of Xu Yang’s “divine powers” had reached the stage of condensing divine power talismans.
So when he broke through while chatting with Wang Hou and Grandmaster Chengming, it wasn’t intentional, and there was no intention to show off; it just happened to be a breakthrough!
Hum!
As the divine power talisman condensed, faint flames emerged around Xu Yang.
A scorching heat spread out instantly.
The originally quiet ginkgo tree seemed to sense Xu Yang’s breakthrough, waking up from its slumber as its branches swayed, appearing excited. A few branches even tried to touch Xu Yang.
Grandmaster Chengming quickly intervened, waving his hand to emit rays of light to separate Xu Yang, saying, “Xing Er, mind the difference between men and women, do not move arbitrarily. Moreover, he is currently understanding divine power, so the divine fire might hurt you.”
The ginkgo tree branches drooped, appearing wronged as they retreated.
Wang Hou couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing the resentful gaze of Grandmaster Chengming towards him, he picked up a cup of cold tea and drank, saying, “Strange, how did the tea become sour?”
Grandmaster Chengming: “…”
As they spoke, Xu Yang’s aura suddenly surged, and the flames behind him were instantly eliminated.
Within the Zifu and Shihai in his primordial spirit, the divine power talisman emitted brilliant divine light before disappearing.
Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “Finally, I have cultivated my fourteenth divine power… It’s strange, why did my cultivation only increase by less than 20%?”
“Isn’t 20% enough?”
Grandmaster Chengming, the patriarch of Zongsheng Palace, couldn’t help but retort, “In a duel between Dao cultivators of the same realm, a slight difference in strength can be key to victory. If Daoist skills, magic treasures, and battle experience are equal, being 20% stronger in cultivation is enough to create an overwhelming advantage. As a cultivator, you must maintain a calm Daoist heart.”
Xu Yang pondered upon hearing this and bowed, saying, “Senior is right, I have learned my lesson.”
He stood up and asked, “Senior, you mentioned earlier that you had cultivated seven divine powers in the early stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm, being the second-best in 500 years… What do you mean by this 500-year period?”
Grandmaster Chengming: “Of course I meant the 500 years before the spiritual aura dried up… Of course, after the spiritual aura dried up, and the heaven and earth were closed off, you could also say that it was the second best in a thousand years.”
Xu Yang thought for a moment, then asked, “What about the patriarch of Wudang Sect you mentioned earlier, how many divine powers did he cultivate in the early stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm?”
“I don’t know.”
When that person was mentioned, an eerie light flashed deep in Grandmaster Chengming’s eyes, and he sighed, “That guy is a real immortal, beyond the realm of ordinary people. Although he is a descendant of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Celestial Master Zhang, he has created his own path, cultivating both Daoism and martial arts. When he was alive, no one in the martial world could compare.”
“He was alive?”
Xu Yang’s eyes flickered, asking, “Could it be that Supreme Sage Zhang has already passed away?”
Grandmaster Chengming shook his head, saying, “If I can survive until now, how can he die? Before worldly changes occurred, the Immortal Path was sealed, and the Yin-Yang Path was cut off. Supreme Sage Zhang had already achieved success in his cultivation and could completely seal his cultivation, sleeping until now. But he didn’t do so and instead embarked on a journey to seek the immortals…”
As he spoke, Grandmaster Chengming’s voice trailed off, clearly not wanting to continue. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
He and Supreme Sage Zhang were from the same era.
Back then, he was also considered a genius in the Daoist world, proud and lofty, but it was only after meeting that person that he realized that there were people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens…
He changed the subject, saying, “You just said that your Golden Elixir exploded?”
“Yes.”
Xu Yang suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip and said anxiously, “About an hour ago, I was drinking tea in the office of the Martial Arts Academy, when suddenly I was blessed with the achievement of the 13th divine power.”
“At that moment, when the divine power talisman was completed, my cultivation became uncontrollable, directly breaking through to the middle stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm, and a Daoist Golden Elixir was condensed… But just as the Golden Elixir formed, it exploded!”
At this point, Xu Yang’s tone was even somewhat trembling, and he asked, “Senior, do… do I have any problems? The Daoist Golden Elixir is the foundation of cultivation… my Golden Elixir has exploded, will it affect my future cultivation?”
Grandmaster Chengming’s expression was serious, he said, “Yes… when the Daoist Golden Elixir explodes, your foundation will be completely destroyed, and it will be extremely difficult for you to make any further progress in the future!”
“???”
Xu Yang was stunned, standing still as if struck by lightning.
“Ding!”
“The ghost has been frightened, Merit Value +1000, Mount Bearing +1.”
“Ding!”
“The ghost has been frightened, Merit Value +1000, Mount Bearing +1.”
“Ding…”
Suddenly, a series of system prompts rang in Xu Yang’s mind. He glanced at the system panel and made a judgment in his heart, “What is going on? Could it be that Cui Jue is helping me scare those unlucky ghosts according to our agreement?”
Ignoring the system prompts in his mind, he looked at Grandmaster Chengming and said, “Senior… is this… is this true? Don’t scare me.”
Chengming suppressed his laughter and deliberately nodded, secretly transmitting to Wang Hou, “Don’t speak, let’s scare this kid first…”
Xu Yang: “Is there a solution?”
Grandmaster Chengming shook his head, then nodded.
He said, “It’s not that there’s no solution. With your current cultivation, your soul will not dissipate after death and can transform into a ghost to practice in the Underworld Palace. With your talent and connections in the Underworld Palace, you will surely become a high-ranking official in the underworld in the future.”
“This…”
Xu Yang smiled bitterly, “So, am I supposed to take over Fengdu City in advance?”
“What?”
This remark made both Grandmaster Chengming and Wang Hou pause.
Xu Yang’s face changed again, and he suddenly fell to the ground, saying, “Senior, Minister Wang… please wait a moment, let me condense another divine power talisman first…”
Grandmaster Chengming: “…”
Wang Hou: “…”
20 minutes later.
Xu Yang’s strength increased again and he got up, saying, “Senior, something is wrong… Didn’t you just say my foundation was destroyed? But I feel like I am still making progress.”
His breakthrough aura made the branches of the Ginkgo tree tremble again.
Two branches fell, trying to touch Xu Yang’s cheek.
Chengming, with jealousy, said darkly, “Cultivators in the Divine Transcendence Realm practice divine powers, which transform into Golden Elixir, and the Golden Elixir gives birth to Nascent Soul, so this Realm is divided into three small stages, namely divine power, Golden Elixir, and Nascent Soul.”
“When the Golden Elixir breaks its shell, the Nascent Soul is born and transforms into the primordial spirit, which constitutes the Spirit Refining Realm!”
“You have already cultivated the Daoist primordial spirit, so naturally, you don’t need to repeat this Realm again…”
“Ah?”
Xu Yang suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and cursed, “Damn, so that’s how it is… If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have had to painstakingly suppress my cultivation!”
He glanced at the system attribute panel.
The Merit Value was approaching the 3,000,000 threshold.
These Merit Values were enough for him to condense more than a dozen more divine power talismans!
Grandmaster Chengming was still curious about Xu Yang’s remark about “taking over Fengdu City” earlier and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean by taking over Fengdu City? Could it be that you have gained the favor of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu during your recent visit to the underworld?”
There was not much to hide about this matter.
Xu Yang said, “It’s just a small matter, actually, there’s not much to say. My father was occupied in the netherworld, so I only met his incarnation and confirmed our relationship.”
“F…father?”
Wang Hou swallowed hard, looking very strange.
Grandmaster Chengming was completely dumbfounded.
Xu Yang: “Yes, my father is Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu, who is known as the Underworld Emperor. So, I am the only Crown Prince of the Underworld Palace… Isn’t it natural for me to take over Fengdu City in the future?”
“…….”
