Chapter 433 The Treatment of Xuan Jing Daozi
Chapter 433 The Treatment of Xuan Jing Daozi
"One hundred strands of 'Primordial Fire' make up one strand. Offering sacrifice to the 'Poison Dragon' requires one hundred strands of 'Primordial Fire'. In addition, one thousand kinds of spiritual blood and the flesh and blood of five kinds of star-level spiritual beasts are required..."
"To offer sacrifice to the god 'Boatman', one needs 100 'Primordial Fires', the flesh and blood of nine kinds of star beasts, and a Mystic Soldier-class flying boat..."
"To offer sacrifice to the god 'Mo Lin', one needs 100 'Primordial Fires', the flesh and blood of thirteen kinds of star beasts, and 100 kinds of flames..."
"To offer sacrifice to the god 'Xuan Chan', one needs 100 'Primordial Fires' and six kinds of star-level poisonous insects..."
……
Daozi sat in the middle, while Li Yuan held the book on offering sacrifices to gods in his hands, reading it carefully.
This booklet records some "foreign gods" and various corresponding rituals.
"What is Yuanhuo? Incense?"
Li Yuan had already gotten the hang of the Sea-Splitting Divine Mark and no longer needed the Black Whale Spirit to translate it, but he still had trouble understanding many of the words.
Naturally, Cang Longzi would not provide specific explanations for these words in his diary, so he had to figure them out on his own.
"what?"
Li Yuan was flipping through the pages, and suddenly saw a familiar name among these 'Outer Gods':
"Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva, Hundred-armed Taoist, Red-haired Buddha, Sword Spirit God... Aren't these nine the nine great masters of the Evil God Cult? They can't be foreign gods too, right?"
Li Yuan frowned, feeling somewhat suspicious.
During Daozi's trial, he had witnessed Canglongzi's methods. He was an eternal grandmaster, an outer god who could make such a figure revere and fear him.
"Emperor Qian also has such a sacrificial chapter in his hand... This is not a coincidence. Could it be that the court has been trying to communicate with the outer gods many years ago?"
Li Yuan’s mind was turning.
He felt that this possibility was greater. If these nine great masters were truly the foreign gods mentioned by Canglongzi, how could they possibly accept the imperial decree?
In this chapter on offering sacrifices to gods, whenever foreign gods are mentioned, they are expressed with words of fear and dread.
"The imperial court is probably communicating with the outer gods!"
After coming to this conclusion, Li Yuan's heart sank. These foreign gods didn't seem to be any good stuff at all.
"The sky is about to fall, the sun and moon are dim, but at this time, the Yuan Fire is more... Ridiculous, sad, and terrifying. Behind this disaster of the sky falling..."
In Cang Longzi's diary, there is a sentence about Yuanhuo.
Li Yuan pondered in his heart and felt that this was most likely referring to incense, but he didn't know how many wisp and how many were one line.
"A lot, I guess."
Li Yuan memorized them all in his mind. Although he had no intention of offering sacrifices to the gods, he continued to read. He was very interested in these secrets from outer space.
"The Outer Gods live in the Underworld."
Li Yuan was slightly shocked.
The Netherworld was mentioned here, and Cang Longzi's tone was filled with admiration, fear, and desire, as if as long as the Netherworld was opened, the disaster of the sky would be solved.
You can even gain great fortune.
"its not right."
Li Yuan looked at the Black Whale Spirit squatting beside him. The only twelfth-level control effect of the Black Whale Hammer was "Traveling Through the Dark".
Not only the Black Whale Hammer, but the Health Furnace also has this effect.
Why can’t Canglongzi enter Tongyou?
"and many more……"
Li Yuan held the animal skin scroll, his mind wandering:
"When Cang Longzi left this animal skin scroll, there was probably no Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer yet! Perhaps, these twelve Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers came from the 'Ten Thousand Gods Festival' he mentioned?"
He continued to read, but unfortunately there was no similar record in the animal skin book, only Cang Longzi's worry and confusion.
“Man is a young god, and God is an adult… How can a man become a god?”
Finally, Cang Longzi left these words: "The outer gods may be able to answer my doubts..."
"The origin of the Netherworld, the Primal Fire, the Outer Gods, sacrifices, the Heavenly Prosperity Soldiers, and that Heaven-shattering Disaster..."
After closing the animal skin scroll, Li Yuan pondered in his mind and had many guesses based on the incomplete information.
"...The Sea-Breaking Star where the Black Whale Sect is located has suffered a catastrophe that caused the sun and moon to lose their light. Does that mean that the sun and moon have gone out? This is impossible. What external force could have made the sun and moon go out?"
"In order to deal with the disaster of the sky falling, Canglongzi and other twelve sects made many attempts, or in other words, sacrificed to foreign gods?"
"The Heavenly Profound Soldiers were born in this process... But the Mysterious Whale Sect was still destroyed. How did these twelve Heavenly Profound Soldiers come to be so lucky? What about the Eight Directions Temple..."
Master Li analyzed the situation for a long time, but it was mostly guesswork. He also called over the spirit of the black whale and the spirit of the health furnace, but they knew nothing and didn't know as much as he did.
After a long time, Li Yuan put away the booklet and continued browsing.
Even a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. He didn't believe that the Xuanjing Sect could be destroyed so thoroughly. As a dignified Taoist, how could he not get any benefit at all?
"The bell sound just now should have come from the sect's main hall?"
Li Yuan guessed.
Normally, if a sect has a new disciple, then after the bell rings, the elders of the sect will naturally summon him, and then he will be rewarded.
"There must be something in the ruins of the Black Whale Sect that is keeping it running..."
Li Yuan would not be willing to take the triple jump to become a Taoist without any benefits. After he went around the periphery, he walked towards the sect's main hall with a hammer in hand.
The Xuanjing Sect is very grand, and the sect hall is even more huge.
A large hall, thirty meters high, looks solemn and grand from afar. In front of the hall is a fighting arena, where some traces of it still remain.
Long ago, there were disciples competing in martial arts here.
Woo~
When it reached this point, the Black Whale Hammer trembled slightly, as if it was saddened by the scene, or as if it felt something.
"Ok?"
Li Yuan was puzzled at first, then he was shocked, his eyes quickly fell on the sect's main hall.
In this hall, there was a faint wisp of incense, although it was very faint, the color...
"Black light, eleventh-level incense!"
After taking a glance, Li Yuan couldn't take his eyes away. This was the first time he had seen such high-level incense.
"Woo~"
The Black Whale Hammer trembled slightly, as if urging it to do so.
Li Yuan calmed himself and walked into the main hall. The hall was empty and dark, with only a wisp of incense flickering.
He looked intently and saw a tall stone statue with a wisp of black incense burning on the forehead of the statue.
"Click~"
Suddenly, there was a strange sound, and the stone statue slowly raised its head. A dark light flashed in its eye sockets, and it looked like a gaze, staring straight at him.
"?!"
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he heard the bell again.
The stone statue actually spoke, uttering the Sea-Splitting Divine Words:
"Xuanjing Daozi, Li Yuan?"
Live?
Li Yuan was horrified at first, but then he realized that the stone statue was just repeating itself mechanically, as if waiting for his response. The spirit of the black whale trembled slightly, as if urging him.
"This stone statue..."
Li Yuan did not rush to agree, but walked forward with the hammer and looked at it carefully.
This stone statue was like the giants in the trial, three feet tall, with a majestic face. He reached out and touched it, and it felt cold, like metal.
hum~
Li Yuan was not in a hurry, but the Black Whale Hammer was a little anxious. It trembled slightly, and a stone tablet rose from the ground:
[Master of the Black Whale Sect, Cang Longzi]
Is this stone statue Canglongzi?
Glancing at the trembling hammer in his hand, Li Yuan felt that the hammer did not seem to be hiding something from him, but rather seemed to have 'remembered' some information after arriving here.
[Cang Longzi, before he became a god, he left behind a stone statue... The Yuan Fire blessed him, and his will remained...]
"Become a god?"
Li Yuan's eyes moved, and when the stone statue spoke again, he replied:
"It's me." Click~
Hearing the response, the stone statue moved. As it moved aside, Li Yuan discovered that behind the statue, there was a door with dim light flickering.
[The Daozi holding the hammer spirit can enter... the Eight Directions Temple Trial]
"Does this door lead to the Bafang Temple?"
Li Yuan looked at Hammer, who trembled and replied, "Yes."
"Behind this door is the final test that Emperor Qian mentioned? From here, can we walk to the Eight Directions Temple?"
Li Yuan did not act rashly. He did not even want to try the road that even Emperor Qian and Wan Zhuliu could not take. His mind turned and fell on the stone statue.
hum~
As if sensing Li Yuan's thoughts, the Black Whale Hammer burst out with a ray of light, shining on the face of the stone statue.
"Is this, communication?"
Li Yuan was a little surprised, but didn't stop him.
"Daozi..."
Under the shining light, the stone statue trembled slightly and spoke in a low and muffled voice:
"Daozi, I can pass on a copy of 'General Outline of Military Training', a magic weapon, and a Black Whale Pill."
Good guy, you’ve grown up now.
After taking a look at the Black Whale Spirit, Li Yuan was shocked. This little thing has become quite smart and even knows how to ask for benefits for himself.
hum~
The voice of the stone statue echoed in the hall, and then, a dark light became brighter, and in just a moment, Li Yuan saw a heavy hammer falling from the sky.
He took a few steps back, and heard a loud bang. The smoke and dust in the hall suddenly rose more than ten meters high.
[Black Whale Fighting Hammer (Level 9)]
[…Watered with thousands of kinds of molten gold and iron, and cultivated in the military training ground, the top-grade divine hammer that grew out had a magical effect. After a long time, it fell into silence…]
[Control conditions: Fourth level of the Military Training Sutra, Mysterious Whale Spirit Appearance]
[Control Effect: Level 9 (Red): Light or Heavy as You Want
Level 7 (Pale Gold): Vajra Indestructible]
The ultimate magical weapon.
Li Yuan raised his hand to hold down the drifting smoke and dust, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"There are indeed good things in the ruins of the Black Whale Sect."
The hammer head is more than a person's height, so it is definitely not easy to use. Li Yuan grabbed it, and as if the hammer sensed his intention, it trembled and shrank visibly.
"Hmm? So light and heavy?"
Li Yuan was a little surprised and clapped his hands: "A little smaller?"
With a humming sound, the hammer shrank another circle.
Does this work too?
Li Yuan suddenly became alert and after a few hits, the hammer shrank to the size of a fist.
"Good stuff!"
Li Yuan was quite surprised as he held the heavy hammer in his hand. If it could be suddenly magnified hundreds of times during a fight, it might have miraculous effects.
"How was this hammer forged?"
After trying many times, Li Yuan was somewhat shocked. He was now considered a master craftsman, but he could not find any signs of forging after playing with it back and forth.
It seems to have really grown out of the ground, completely natural.
"The land for raising soldiers, the art of raising soldiers..."
With thoughts turning in his mind, Li Yuan took the animal skin booklet from the stone statue's hand. This was the general outline of the military training manual.
The first sentence of the article solved his doubts.
"The spirit of the black whale, raising soldiers in the divine realm."
This place where soldiers are raised is the divine realm?
Li Yuan suddenly realized that to learn this technique, one must cultivate the spiritual realm before being able to master it.
After flipping through a few pages, he was given a headache by the large number of terms in the book, so he simply stuffed it back into his pocket and picked up the fist-sized "Black Whale Pill" instead.
“Is this still edible?”
It was as big as a fist, black in color, and without any medicinal scent. It also had a pungent smell of rust. Li Yuan frowned, thinking that this thing must be expired.
"This, little mouse probably can't afford to try..."
After putting away the Black Whale Pill, Li Yuan prepared to find some medicine to try. What if the pill had originally tasted like this?
A pill as big as a fist, if its grade is the same as the Dragon-Tiger Pill, can be worth twenty of the latter.
[Advance, Trial]
The Black Whale Hammer trembled slightly, filled with hope and uneasiness.
Kill me?
Li Yuan glanced at it. This little thing was so stupid that he couldn’t even beat the true trial. How could he take on this ultimate trial?
How difficult must the trial be for Emperor Qian to be willing to kill himself and start over?
"Tell me next time."
The harvest this time was so great that Li Yuan was in a very good mood. Although he was a little curious about this ultimate trial, he didn't want to seek abuse and ruin his mood.
Before leaving, he glanced at the incense on the forehead of the stone statue.
"Eleventh-level incense..."
Throwing the buzzing Black Whale Hammer into the Weaponry Scroll, Li Yuan withdrew from the Black Whale Secret Realm.
……
The moon is above the treetops and the wind is blowing the snow.
When Li Yuan came out, there was no one outside the Dragon and Tiger Tower. He stretched his muscles and bones, feeling full of energy and indescribably refreshed.
Among the blessings of the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace, the least noticeable one is 'long life', followed by the physical talent.
But this is not obvious, compared to the talent of cultivation, star dragon and tiger. In fact, if you concentrate a little, you can feel the difference.
"vitality!"
Li Yuan felt it.
At this moment, his body was filled with vigorous vitality, which felt similar to the medicinal power of the Dragon and Tiger Pill, but even stronger.
It nourishes his body and makes him feel as if he is drunk.
"The life span is long, at least a hundred years, right?"
Li Yuan was in a good mood. Although he was only in his twenties, who would complain about living too long?
In the night, he strolled slowly, feeling the blessing of the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace. Unlike the violent Black Whale Hammer, the blessing of the health furnace was more mellow.
As he walked, he felt his pores spontaneously dilate, as if they were breathing, and the vibrations of his muscles, bones, and internal organs became more rhythmic. The greater change was his control over his body.
"An eternal level of physical talent."
Li Yuan is multitasking.
A warrior's control over his physique is already extremely subtle, and he is one of the best among them, but with the blessing of talent, he can still feel obvious changes.
As his mind moves, the force is transmitted to the tips of his hair, and can even be specific to a single hair.
“You can even punch with your hair!”
Li Yuan felt very satisfied:
"As expected of a Heavenly Destiny Soldier, with the blessing of the four palm controls, it is the best of the best!"
……
……
Woohoo!
In Li Yuan's small courtyard, the little tiger was lying on the windowsill, and under the moonlight, the little mouse was sleeping soundly in the corner.
"Molong, just died like that?"
Squinting his eyes, Qin Shixian was indeed a little surprised. Although he didn't think that Mo Long could walk out of the Dragon and Tiger Temple alive, how could he die in Li Yuan's hands?
"Wan Zhuliu sent him here, maybe he didn't want him to return alive."
The old man was not surprised, he figured out something.
Before Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere, who could remove Wan Zhuliu's sword intent?
