Chapter 1079 – Four Elements (continued)
If it was said that people like Jiu Ren, Cang Xuan, and Jin Zhou were people who decided to become Golden Body Immortals, or existences that could even make deities fear them, then the name Four Elements Daoist represented a generation of “vicious people” in the history of cultivation world!
He was probably in the same generation as Cao Xun Immortal, but in that era, even before Cao Xun Immortal became Primordial Immortal, the only people he could kill were those who had escaped.
Before Cao Xun Xian became a Primordial Immortal, he was originally a peak level Daoist Huang Ting, but he was at least an existence that was comparable to the Celestial Constitution and the Azure Profound Realm.
However, due to some unknown reason, after enmity with the Four Elements Daoist, he was chased to the point where he had no way into the heaven. In the end, he had no choice but to give up on his lifelong pursuit, giving up his physical body to directly become a Primordial Immortal, thus he was unable to escape from the Four Elements Daoist’s pursuit.
That’s right, even if Cao Xun had advanced into the Immortal Realm, even if he was only at the early stage, he could only temporarily protect himself in front of Daoist Four Elements.
In the world of cultivation at that time, there were almost ten people who had died at the hands of the Four Elements Daoist, and even more who had died at the hands of the Four Elements Daoist. In the world of cultivation at that time, there were almost ten people who had died at the hands of the Four Elements Daoist, and there were even more who had died at the hands of the Four Elements Daoist.
Of course, Cao Xun Immortal was still an immortal. Even if he gave up hope of becoming a Golden Body Immortal, he was still an outstanding figure. After experiencing the difficult situation of entering the Immortal Realm, Cao Xun, who had the power to protect himself, immediately began to plan a counterattack.
His cultivation did not show any signs of increasing for many years. Even though he was still the number one expert of the Dao Realm, an existence that even the deities feared, and his strength did not decline at all, in the eyes of the later Immortal Cao Xun, he was already nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhang Yueming quietly listened to Daoist Song, and slowly raised his hand towards the Water Yuan Tablet, which immediately flew into his hand like a swallow returning to its nest, while in his other hand, the Earth Yuan Tablet had already appeared out of nowhere, the moment the two identity plates met, they became one, and the treasures which were originally only of low grade then suddenly levelled up, and became high-grade treasures.
“How amazing!”
Zhang Yueming could not help but exclaim. He had already sensed that when the two treasures merged into one, the artifact spirit of the Water Elemental Plate had already completed recognizing them as master. Furthermore, the two treasures could be fused and separated at any time.
When Daoist Song saw Zhang Yueming’s actions, he smiled slightly and continued, “Under the leadership of Immortal Cao Xun, the encirclement and killing of the Four Elements Daoist naturally ended in success. After the fall of this fierce man, the cultivation world had a thorough analysis of his power and structure, and because of this, the cultivation world which was originally filled with anticipation for the Four Elements Daoist finally ended in disappointment. It was also because of this, that the Four Elements Daoist’s innate ability, the ‘Four Elements Souls Sealing Technique’, could only be ranked fifteenth on the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking.”
Zhang Yueming looked startled, then raised his head and said: “Disappointed?”
“Not bad, it’s disappointment!”
Daoist Song nodded his head, and with an unprecedented seriousness in his voice, he said, “The power of Daoist Four Elements could be said to be unprecedented in the Immortal World. Even if there were people who came later, perhaps only the Grand Taoist Jiu Ren of your sect could match up to Daoist Four Elements.” Daoist Song nodded his head, and with an unprecedented seriousness in his voice, he said, “Daoist Four Elements could be considered to be unprecedented in the Immortal World.
“But?” Zhang Yueming naturally knew that he needed to makurn for the better when he reached this point.
“However, excluding the Middle Ranked daoyin apparatus 4 Element Token in his hands, the 4 Element Daoist himself was just an ordinary Daoist Huang Ting. He had even exhausted all of his potential and did not even have the qualifications to be promoted to an immortal!” Daoist Song said faintly.
“How is this possible?”
Zhang Yueming’s face was filled with doubt, and he said: “As the saying goes, strength goes to the body. A cultivator’s strength can perhaps be raised using external objects, such as formations, treasures, and so on, but the techniques and abilities are all his own. Even without the support of external objects, the cultivator’s strength will still be reduced by at least seventy percent.
Daoist Song clicked his tongue and said, “It seems that your understanding of the Four Elements Spirit Sealing Technique is not as deep as I had imagined. It’s also no wonder that after Cao Xun Immortal and the other extremely cooperative parties shared the four identity cards, this sacred art was practically lost in the cultivation world. Even if someone claimed later on that you were cultivating it, it was only a fragment of the inheritance of the sacred art.”
Zhang Yueming took a deep breath, and said: “Please dispel my confusion, fellow daoist!”
Daoist Song nodded in satisfaction and said, “Fellow Zhang, do you know what the real Four Elements Spirit Sealing Technique looks like?”
Zhang Yueming shook his head and said: “Please enlighten me, fellow daoist.”
Daoist Song said, “The true Four Elements Sealing Technique requireuge amount of power to cast. After separating the four ingots, one can only use a low-grade treasure, but after fusing them in two, they can become a high-grade treasure. If I were to merge with the third token, it would become a low-grade daoyin apparatus, and if I were to master the Four Elements, I would become a middle-grade daoyin apparatus.”
Hearing that the treasure in his hand had sucigh levelled up chance, Zhang Yueming was naturally happy, but his expression was still doubtful, and said: “Just a middle tier daoyin apparatus?”
“Naturally, a Medial Grade daoyin apparatus cannot create the prestige of a Four Elements Daoist,” Daoist Song paused, then said, “But what if the four parts of this daoyin apparatus are able to control the existence of one Lightning Calamity each?”
“What?” Hearing that, Zhang Yueming could not help but stand up, and almost flipped the wooden table between the two of them in an instant.
“You did not hear wrongly,” Daoist Song did not seem to be surprised by Zhang Yueming’s reaction, “When this old man first heard of this matter, his reaction was even more intense than yours, but this is the truth. The so-called fierce reputation of Daoist Four Elements came from this, every time he fights with his opponent, it was equivalent to Daoist Huang Ting bringing four of his little brothers to gang up on them.
Zhang Yueming let out a long breath and said, “In that case, the reason why he killed Dao Realm experts without restraint could be inferred?”
Daoist Song nodded his head in praise and said: “That’s right, the Four Elements Tablet is a daoyin apparatus that can seal a cultivator within it and assist the owner of the treasure in the battle likuppet. However, there is a limit to this seal, and that is that the person being sealed has a cultivation level lower than the owner of the treasure, which is not even comparable to the owner of the treasure.”
Zhang Yueming nodded, and said: “It means that when the Four Elements Daoist first advanced to the Dao Realm, he needed to seal four Taihang Realm cultivators, and then four Qingyun Realm cultivators. After reaching the Huang Ting Realm, he had to seal four Lightning Calamity cultivators.
The Four Elements Spirit Sealing technique is indeed powerful, but the technique itself does not have much effect in fighting, rather it requires the help of magic treasures to control other people. This method is not owned by the user, and cannot be used to resist the thunder tribulation’s impact, nor can it be used to condense Dao Fruits, much less help him to step into the immortal gate, because without the help of this magic treasure, his strength will be reduced by seventy percent, and will not be like other people’s, where even without the assistance of magic treasures, he will still be able to preserve at least seventy percent of his strength. This is because the Four Elements Spirit Sealing technique is extremely powerful, but it can only be ranked fifteenth on the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers.
“So that’s how it is!” Zhang Yueming sighed.
Daoist Song laughed, “The question is, could Fellow Zhang have gathered all four elemental tokens and inherited Daoist Four Elements?”
A faint smile appeared on Zhang Yueming’s face, and he said: “Why not, the mistake of the Four Elements Daoist is that he is too dependent on the Four Elements Spirit Sealing Technique, and that the Four Elements Spirit Sealing Technique is ultimately only a method, a tool, cultivating this art itself does not have a negative impact on the cultivator’s pursuit, so the problem is, where are the remaining two identity plates?”
The praise on Daoist Song’s face became even stronger, he pointed in a direction and said, “All I can tell you is that you will definitely have a Fire Essence Plate in Yanzhou. When the four Source Tablets split, they were probably taken away by the experts in Burning Heaven Clan, but as for the specific location, there is a connection between the four Source Tablets, so you will naturally notice it when the time comes!”
“And once all three of them gather together, their sensing ability will increase even further, and the fourth wind origin tablet will be even more easily obtained. Once the four origin tablets gather together, the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers Four Elements Spirit Sealing Technique, which once dominated the entire cultivation world, will reappear in the world.” At this moment, Daoist Song’s voice was filled with an unavoidable trace of expectation.
But Zhang Yueming remained calm: “Then if you pass such an important inheritance to me, what price do I have to pay?”
Almost at the same time Zhang Yueming left, two years later, Yang Junshan once again entered the immortal palace, and went straight to the Eight Treasures Daoist’s oven room.
