Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 448 Blue and White

Jiang Zhe, who was thinking about how to achieve the perfect combination of mental strength and magical power, suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look at the uninvited guest.

A beautiful woman with a graceful demeanor, who wore little attire, with her hair tied up with a hairpin and a black Taoist robe, but her slender figure could not be concealed, flew to Jiang Zhe, stopped more than ten feet away, kept a distance that would not offend, and bowed with a smile.

"Yan Lingzi, nice to meet you, Brother Dao!"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Well, what do you want?"

Yan Lingzi bowed again and said, "Brother Daoist, I see that you have a deep understanding of the Dharma on the cliff, so I have an unwelcome request. I want to exchange my insights with you... After I accidentally obtained the Secret of the Divine Weapon, I felt that it was very suitable for me after practicing it for a while, so I decided to use it to enter the world realm. I came to this ancient weapon ruins and sat there for billions of years, but I always missed the opportunity to meet it... Brother Daoist, please allow me to achieve the foundation of Taoism. I am willing to give everything I have, even if it means becoming your follower."

As she spoke, the black-robed Taoist nun flipped her hand, and a oath stone appeared on her palm.

For a moment, Jiang Zhe sensed more than a dozen hidden gazes staring at him. He felt very nervous, unfriendly, and unwilling.

"Are those your followers?"

Jiang Zhe did not sense any sin from the black-robed Taoist nun, but instead felt that she had some merit and fortune, so he knew that she was no ordinary person.

To borrow a sentence I read when I was a mortal - don't mess with the old men, women and children who are wandering around the world, because they all have powerful abilities.

When navigating chaos, this sentence still applies.

How could a beautiful woman dare to go deep into the demon's nest and stay there for billions of years? What's more, she was the first one to discover the stone carvings on the cliff that I had just put my heart and soul into.

Yan Lingzi smiled gently: "Yes, the seventeen of them are all my followers. They all have decent character and have never done anything wrong. They are willing to follow me because I have some strength and am a weapon refiner."

"Brother Dao, if you are willing to instruct me in the practice of the Secret of the Divine Weapon, agree to accept me as a follower, and are not satisfied with them, I am willing to break the contract with them and disperse them."

Jiang Zhe waved his hand and asked, "Fifth level of mental strength?"

Seeing that Jiang Zhe was about to give some advice, Yan Lingzi was overjoyed and said quickly, "Yes, Brother Dao, I am a fellow practitioner of three cultivation systems. I am particularly talented in the mental power system and have already reached the peak of the fifth level. However, I don't know why I always feel that there is an insurmountable shackle ahead and I cannot comprehend the world of the mind."

"It's very simple. The mind is obsessed with something, so it cannot break through." Jiang Zhe revealed the mystery in one sentence.

Yan Lingzi paused for a moment and then suddenly realized: "Brother Dao, do you mean the Dao of War?"

"Yes, you can sense my mental power, which means that you have a good foundation and talent in the mental power system. You have indeed reached the pinnacle at the fifth level, and you are only one step away from the ultimate leap... When you have perfected your practice of the 'Way of War' and have let go of all your obsessions, you will naturally see through everything. All your thoughts will converge in the sea of ​​consciousness, opening up a world of the heart."

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Dao!" Yan Lingzi bowed, almost touching his head to the ground, and respectfully pleaded: "Brother Dao, please give me the opportunity to achieve enlightenment. I am willing to give everything I have, or accept me as your disciple or follower."

Jiang Zhe was puzzled: "Why do you look so sure of me? I only showed my mental strength and explored the cliff carvings. I didn't reveal any unusual signs."

"Brother Dao, this is my sincerity. The answer is inside."

Yan Lingzi smiled and presented a red jade ring.

Jiang Zhe did not take it. Instead, he radiated his mental energy over there and discovered that it was a magic storage weapon.

As his mind penetrated into it, he saw a topaz turtle shell the size of a palm. There were nine mysterious characters engraved on the back of the shell, which could be combined in infinite ways and produce infinite changes.

"Luo Shu?"

Of course it couldn't be Luo Shu. The reason why Jiang Zhe called him that was because they looked too similar.

There is no Taoist ancestor in the Three Realms, and the River Chart and Luoshu are actually the innate treasures of the formation path, in the hands of Fuxi and Dayu respectively. He once asked Bodhi to borrow the Luoshu of Emperor Yu to have a look, but after discovering that it had nothing to do with the cause and effect path, he lost interest.

The tortoise shell in front of you that looks like the Luoshu is actually a genuine magic weapon, and its level belongs to the eternal divine weapon.

"Wait, why is it free again?"

Jiang Zhe had a strange look on his face. He could clearly feel the closeness coming from the turtle shell.

The invisible mental force began to try to invade the turtle shell.

The penetration was easily completed.

In the telepathic sensing, the inside of the turtle shell was hazy, and at the core was a thirty-three-sided crystal with extremely complex patterns on each side. Its complexity was only slightly inferior to that of the "Shen Jing Thorn".

"A top-grade eternal divine weapon? A magical weapon that can deduce the power of the weapon is extremely rare, and its value is definitely not inferior to a normal top-grade eternal divine weapon."

"Of course, it is definitely inferior to the 'Shocking Soul Thorn'. The way of deduction is rare, and the way of time and space is also rare."

Since the spirit of the magic weapon is close to him, Jiang Zhe wants to practice the "Secret of the Word of Soldiers" to refine it. The magic weapon of Tao that can deduce the origin is indeed what he urgently needs.

But, it was rejected.

Jiang Zhe twitched his lips twice, and was extremely speechless: "You said that you and I are not compatible? You chose me because you deduced that following me would help you find the most suitable master for you?"

Well, this is the opportunity for Greedy's clone.

Jiang Zhe felt both relieved and amused.

I feel relieved because "Beheading the Three Corpses" was indeed a success, and the eternal level deduction method treated them as independent individuals.

However, this is reasonable. After all, the origin of the chaotic universe recognizes their independent identities of "greed, anger, and ignorance".

"Okay, I know who you're looking for. Follow me, and I'll deliver you to him in a while. But as a reward, during this time of following me, you have to allow me to comprehend the origin of your deduction, okay?"

The turtle-shaped magic weapon spirit gave an affirmative answer.

"your name?"

"Return to the Tibetan Plateau."

"Which emperor refined you? You were not born in the Flame Dragon Realm, were you?"

The spirit of the turtle magic weapon was very docile and told Jiang Zhe everything about itself.

The practitioner who refined it is Emperor Guizang, an emperor who is proficient in the way of deduction. He achieved enlightenment in the Huangxie Realm and was later obtained by Taoist Duobao. Due to an accident, he followed Taoist Duobao to the Yanlong Realm and was unable to return to his homeland, and eventually sank in the Zhebing Pool.

About 1.4 billion years ago, he met Yan Lingzi and deduced from her the opportunity to find the Ming Master. Because Duobao Daojun did not set up any obstacles to the whereabouts of these eternal divine weapons, he followed Yan Lingzi and left the Weapon Breaking Pool. After that, he and Yan Lingzi guarded the cliff carvings, waiting for a new opportunity, until Jiang Zhe arrived, and he instigated Yan Lingzi to find Jiang Zhe.

……

With a surge of his mental strength, he took the ruby ​​ring from Yan Lingzi's hand and put it away.

"Yan Lingzi, I really need what you gave me, so I accepted it. As compensation, I will give you two choices."

"First, I will find you a treasure of the same level later. Alternatively, I will pay you one million cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Fluid. I will swear to you that I will do my best to repay you without any delay."

As for the second half of the sentence, Jiang Zhe spoke it via telepathy because there were so many people around and there were many different opinions.

"Second, I major in the Way of Space and Time, and the Way of the Military is only a minor. But now I have also gained the understanding of the Way of the Military at the level of perfection in the World Realm, and I have also comprehended some of the mysteries of the cliff carvings... I can teach you all these. Are you willing to become my disciple? Let's make it clear in advance that if you become my disciple, you must abide by two precepts. One is not to do evil, and the other is not to betray your teacher and ancestors. In addition, I will not restrict you from taking other people as your teacher, and this does not count as betraying your teacher and ancestors."

Because of the guidance of Guizangtu, Yan Lingzi knew that this was a great opportunity that he would not encounter in his lifetime. Without any hesitation, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Just call me teacher."

Yan Lingzi's eyes dimmed, and then he responded, "Yes, disciple greets the teacher."

"Get up."

After Jiang Zhe lifted up Yan Lingzi with his powerful magic power, he projected three lapis lazuli ingots of different sizes. In the process of solidifying from illusion, he made them change like plasticine, and finally molded them into three puppets in human shape with flexible joints, just like model toys.

The sizes vary, from small to large, one foot high, two feet high, and three feet high.

Jiang Zhe waved his hand, and three humanoid puppets flew in front of Yan Lingzi.

"This is a gift I prepared for you. When you can perfectly control the three puppets with the Secret of Divine Weapons, you will be able to open up the 'World of Soldiers'. Under the cliff stone carvings, observing the charm of the golden words will help you improve your understanding of the 'Way of Soldiers'. You can practice and ask me if you don't understand. I will stay here for a long time until I crack the means left by Duobao Daojun, or return empty-handed."

"Yes, teacher. I would like to thank you for your kindness."

Yan Lingzi took the three dolls and as soon as his mental power penetrated into them, he was suddenly startled and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Tao, the divine weapon of Tao? The three lapis lazuli puppets are actually the divine weapons of Tao?"

"Teacher, you can actually refine the divine weapon of Taoism with your own hands? Isn't this something that only the Taoist masters of life and death can do? Teacher, I want to learn this, can you teach me?"

Jiang Zhe smiled and waved his hand, then raised two fingers and shook them.

"First, strictly speaking, when the world realm is perfected, one can refine one's own Dao into a divine weapon, turning it into a divine weapon of Dao, and using it will absolutely fit oneself. Second, your teacher, this is not an orthodox method of refining weapons. You can't learn it, and I can't teach it."

"By the way, in addition to the Dao of Space and Time and the Dao of Soldiers, your teacher also dabbles in the Dao of Destruction, the Dao of Life, the Dao of the World, the Dao of the Heart Demon, the Dao of Thunder, the Dao of Illusion, and is proficient in the secret art of mind power. If you have any doubts in these areas, you can ask me for advice."

Yan Lingzi was stunned. "Teacher, are these all the insights of the world realm? Why don't you choose a path to break through?"

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "There is one last thing to do, and then the breakthrough will come soon."

Guided by the origin of time and space in the "Shen Jing Ci", Jiang Zhe has sorted out his understanding of time and space, which can be transformed into a "time and space world", allowing him to break through the world realm at any time.

However, there is an opportunity that must be sought before the breakthrough.

"May the teacher succeed in breaking through the realm."

"Okay, Yan Lingzi, practice and strive to comprehend the 'Soldier World' as soon as possible."

******

Three realms, the netherworld and sea of ​​blood.

The greedy Jiang Zhe who stayed behind in his hometown sat cross-legged on the sea of ​​blood, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his majestic face.

"The Guizang Map contains the origin of eternal deduction. This is better than asking Great Mo Daojun for the cultivation method. Although the deduction is only partially related to cause and effect, it is enough for me to use as a springboard."

Jiang Zhe flipped his hand, and lightning bloomed in his palm, stretching out and turning into a blazing and powerful lightning spear.

“Regardless of how the Path of Karma will eventually merge into the new avenue represented by the Eternal Serpent, the Path of Karma that I, the Three Corpses of Greed, practice will definitely not lack lethality… For example, if I throw this lightning spear and attack according to the causal relationship, it will definitely hit the target!”

Then, he put away the "Thunder" with his hand and had a thought.

The world has shifted greatly!

The majestic figure in a purple robe disappeared from the sea of ​​blood, descended into heaven, and appeared in front of the Tushita Palace.

squeak-

The vermilion door was pushed open a crack from the inside, and a silver-haired boy, about eight or nine years old, poked his head out.

"Hey, isn't this the Silver Horned God who dominated the three realms during the Journey to the West?"

The silver-haired boy rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhe and didn't want to pay any attention to this guy who had no sense of boundaries.

If it weren't for the arrangement by the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, do you really think that he and his senior brother would be willing to leave the Tushita Palace?

That is not my origin, that is my dark history.

"You are the distinguished guest that my master mentioned, right? Come in with me, the master is waiting for you."

The silver-haired boy pursed his lips, pushed the door half open, and motioned Jiang Zhe to come in quickly.

Jiang Zhe smiled and stopped teasing Yinjiao. He entered the Tushita Palace and followed the Yinjiao boy.

Shortly after.

"Keep going forward. There is a quiet room right in front of you. The master usually meditates in it. He is waiting for you inside now. Go in by yourself. I have to go feed the cows."

After saying that, the silver-haired boy turned and left.

Jiang Zhe twitched the corners of his mouth twice, unable to complain.

That cow is also a top-level god. It’s quite interesting to play “playing house in Tushita Palace”.

open the door.

Jiang Zhe saw the old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the quiet room. It was none other than the Taoist priest Taiqing, one of the Three Pure Ones, who controlled the Yin Heavenly Dao.

The other party was looking at him with doubt, a little hesitant to recognize him.

"Fellow Daoist from the Netherworld Blood Sea, you..."

"Brother, it's me."

"This, this, the second soul?"

"That's about it. I can't wait until the Three Realms are destroyed before I can come out and do something."

Taoist Taiqing was puzzled: "How come you are a celestial being?"

Jiang Zhe shrugged and spread his hands, saying helplessly: "Who made the Three Realms only have the minor path of deduction, but no major path of cause and effect, or the Way of Heaven? I want to focus on the Way of Cause and Effect, and don't want my foundation to be mixed and fail to make a breakthrough."

Taoist Taiqing nodded slightly, then asked, "Junior brother, what important matter brought you here in person this time?"

Jiang Zhe got straight to the point: "Brother, I came to ask you for the Nine-Layer Primal Chaos Restriction, which is the opportunity you got when you were traveling in the Primal Chaos. Brother, you should still remember it, right?"

"I do remember it, and I often try to comprehend it." Taoist Taiqing shook his head: "But the restriction is too difficult."

Jiang Zhe raised his hand and projected a precious pearl-like material from the Devouring World. After it was solidified, he sent it to Taoist Taiqing.

"Brother, please help me carve the Nine-Layer Chaos Restriction on it."

Taoist Taiqing took the pearl and sighed after becoming familiar with its material.

"You are really generous. This is the main material for refining Chaos Treasures."

Afterwards, he began to engrave the Nine-Layer Chaos Restriction.

Taoist Taiqing was distracted and asked curiously, "Junior brother, do you know the secret of the Nine-Layer Primal Chaos Restriction?"
