Chapter 413: Chapter 371: A New Killing Move
On Wang Yu’s Divine Soul, Corpse Ancestor Ying Kuo placed a total of ninety-nine Talismans, among which eighteen were particularly special, automatically attacking foreign Divine Sense.
And now, after enduring an attack, by leveraging a Divine Sense far beyond his current realm, with extraordinarily subtle manipulation, Lu Qian obtained a sudden insight, seeing the true form.
Though he only saw bits and pieces of most, Lu Qian managed to remember three fully, intending to recreate them!
At the moment these Talismanic Forms were drawn, Lu Qian’s Sea of Consciousness, smooth as a mirror, was uncontrollably stirred into turbulent waves!
Since achieving the "Mirror Lake" state, his Divine Sense had always been perfectly controllable, never experiencing this before. In the next moment, the roiling waves of Divine Sense transformed into a fierce vortex, rushing into the three Talismanic Forms.
In a blink, the three forms nearly emptied Lu Qian’s Sea of Consciousness, yet only one-third of the forms were condensed, and the massive suction force persisted, threatening to deplete his Divine Soul!
Lu Qian held his breath, focused entirely, and in his Sea of Consciousness, a thunderous tremor occurred as two forms instantly disintegrated, reverting back to Divine Sense and being swallowed entirely by the remaining one.
The Talismanic Form achieved Perfection, the Talisman was formed!
A flash of purple light, Lu Qian’s Sea of Consciousness was completely dry, and at its center, a tiny but frighteningly volatile Talisman twisted and flickered in suspension.
Expending all of Lu Qian’s Divine Sense, he finally drew a Talisman!
The true intent of this Talisman is confinement and prohibition.
If infused into the Divine Soul, it can instantly lock the soul, blocking Divine Sense fluctuations!
These three Talismans are actually a complementary set; if condensed fully, the soul-imprisoning power multiplies significantly.
Thus, Lu Qian has gained another formidable killing move!
But just as he finished sensing the effect of this Talisman, it violently fluctuated and abruptly shattered into chaotic Divine Sense.
Lu Qian quickly operated his Heart Method, employing the Mantra to smooth and soothe the Divine Sense; otherwise, under rampant impact, even his own Divine Soul would be damaged.
In this cycle of gathering and shattering, Lu Qian’s Divine Sense was already half expended.
It seems this Talisman is still too obscure, and condensing it poses too much of a burden for him now. To condense and even wield it smoothly, repeated training is essential.
With a pale face, Lu Qian opened his eyes and shared his insights.
"I remembered three from the eighteen Talismans. These three seem to be a set with strong soul-imprisoning power. I infer that the ninety-nine Talismans may be divided into different sets, each with its own purpose."
Watching the attentive Wang Yu, Lu Qian sighed: "Unfortunately, I’ve only obtained these insights. With my current Divine Sense, I can’t even delve deeper, let alone dispel these Talismans. Perhaps, if my Divine Sense makes substantial progress someday, I could explore further."
Wang Yu shook his head: "No worries, Ying Kuo can’t escape the Corpse Prison Forbidden Land, and as long as I stay far away, I’ll be safe."
Speaking of which, he then recounted his subsequent experiences.
After breaking free, he flaunted borrowed strength, moving unimpeded through Corpse Prison Ridge, encountering the Seventeenth Patrol Envoy Jii Shu, and then fleeing frantically until he escaped.
This journey was thrilling, and even with Wang Yu safely seated before him, Lu Qian still felt tense.
That Jii Shu supposedly had the Nascent Soul Cultivation, a force capable of ruling over a state among cultivators. To pacify such an individual and escape under her nose was truly the ancestor’s blessing.
"Senior Brother Wang, your escape from the Forbidden Land makes you a rarity, a celestial talent over millennia. Not to mention having such strange encounters there." Lu Qian said earnestly, "I think it’s a heaven-given opportunity, one among the myriad paths."
"Whether a half-corpse body or ominous Spiritual Evil, what difference does it make whether you’re human? You need not be concerned, as long as you acknowledge yourself as a Yunshan Sect disciple, we’re forever brothers!"
"Of course, with many mundane folks around, using your previous excuse of researching Marvelous Scriptures seems fitting. It’s up to you whether to inform Senior Brother Yang or Senior Sister Qingfeng."
"Your body harbors many mysteries; we can explore them together. With this robust, valiant form and the Spiritual Evil traits you mentioned, it’s perfectly suited for martial cultivation, integrating mighty powers within. In the future, using martial arts to confront foes, while also manipulating Corpse Puppets for assistance, may even elevate your combat prowess above mine."
Lu Qian smiled, taking out a silk book.
"This is the Martial Arts True Scripture I stumbled upon by chance, titled ’Eight-Armed Celestial God Dragon-Catching Skill.’ Previously, no one in the sect was suited to it, so it wasn’t revealed. Now, with Senior Brother Wang’s transformation, you can try practicing it and surely gain something."
Wang Yu took the silk book, knowing he should feel moved and grateful, yet experiencing no emotional stir, as ideas surged forth, forming a thought.
The Sect Leader’s behavior stations me, employs me, arms me, helping enhance me, naturally for the Yunshan Sect’s greatest benefit.
Even if I could be stronger, he joyfully proceeds without hesitation, truly harboring no selfishness, prioritizing sect prosperity. He is indeed the deserving Yunshan Sect Leader.
With that realization, Wang Yu stood up.
Considering this, as a Yunshan Sect Elder, I must also devote my intelligence and effort for the sect’s growth.
"Sect Leader, bearing Ying Kuo’s aura, I moved freely in the Forbidden Land, despite the urgency, I acquired four treasures and wish to offer them to the sect for sharing!"
As he spoke, he took out two Jade Boxes and two Storage Pouches.
The first Storage Pouch opened to reveal a luminous blue-green Spiritual Ore.
This Spiritual Ore, half the size of an adult torso, with a faint gray stone shell, could not conceal the flickering blue Spiritual Light within, as countless light points blossomed and dimly extinguished upon striking the shell, flickering like fireflies.
Such an extraordinary appearance was enough to confirm the ore’s uniqueness, far from ordinary!
Lu Qian asked Wang Yu to wait briefly, disappearing from the secret chamber, returning moments later, clutching a large box of Jade Scrolls.
From the Dianjing Sect’s ’True Disc of Spiritual Ore’.
Lu Qian pressed Jade Scrolls to his forehead, Divine Sense surged swiftly scanning, after a stick of incense time, he finally raised his head excitedly.
"Senior Brother Wang, this is the Celestial Cyan Fluorescent Ore, raw material for making Spiritual Treasures!"
Wang Yu also felt startled, initially thinking the ore might be suitable for crafting Magical Treasures, not expecting its grade to be so high!
"Such a large piece is extremely rare, truly a heavenly gift. Even knocking off fragments would elevate a Magical Treasure’s grade. Using it for Spiritual Artifact crafting would truly be wasteful."
Learning it was not needed presently, Wang Yu returned the Celestial Cyan Fluorescent Ore to the Storage Pouch, and opened the layers of seals on a Jade Box.
A delightfully refreshing scent emanated, as Lu Qian focused, seeing two baby fist-sized, fiery-red spherical fruits lying quietly inside.
Vibrant Vitality blossomed from the fruits, merely smelling the aroma made one’s blood circulation accelerate, filling the body with vigor.
These two Spirit Fruits, Lu Qian just happened to know, having previously studied Spirit Medicine Cultivation techniques of the Hek Sect, Lu Qian had also reviewed many of Jichuan Profound Monarch’s collections. His Consciousness Collection being powerful, almost photographic memory, now recognizing the fruits on sight.
"These are Creation Fire Pills!"
