Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 454: Lingbao Sutra

"Where?"

The ancient practitioner Jiang Zhe looked at the teleportation stone tablet on the Blood Cloud Star and rubbed his brows in distress.

"The Holy City of Dao League? Looking for the Ancient True Palace?"

"...It's too far. There are many dangers and we may run into that old beast that kidnaps people everywhere."

"I don't dare to go far. The only areas in the Damao area that I know of where I can hide are Damao Courtyard, the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, and the Ancient Weapon Ruins."

Suddenly, Jiang Zhe realized something and shook his head violently.

"No, what am I thinking? I'm so stupid. If Lord Mangya really senses my existence, who in the Yanlong Realm can stop him? One Dao Lord of Deduction and two dead Dao Lords? Don't be ridiculous."

"In the core area of ​​the Eternal Clan, he came and went freely, capturing the genius he wanted?"

"The best way is to sit still and pretend to be a mushroom, hoping that someone from the ancient cultivation forces can come to guide me. If they don't acknowledge me, I will have to bear the hatred of the Chaos Divine Beasts, which is miserable. I can only wait until the Ultimate Space-Time Dao enters the fourth step of Dao Lord before leaving the mountain."

"Of course, if Lord Mangya didn't come to find me thousands or tens of thousands of years later, it means that he didn't have the ability to calculate, and the original timeline was just randomly grabbed. Then my body as an ancient cultivator would be more active."

That’s right, Jiang Zhe does have some paranoia.

But if you think about it carefully, this is a completely reasonable delusion.

The main reason is that the performance of Lord Mangya in the original timeline was too horrifying.

In one mission, he captured a Chaos Beast, a Special Lifeform, a genius from the Eternal Clan from the Space-Time Path, and Ji Ning from the Ultimate Path...

Who would believe that he casts a wide net and catches people at random?

Out of fear for the Lord of Mangya, Jiang Zhe immediately dug a hole under the ground of Blood Cloud Star and crawled in.

If he hadn't coveted the profound heritage of the ancient practitioners, he wouldn't have taken on such a dangerous identity.

……

The remains of ancient soldiers are carved into the cliff.

The returning Three Corpses Chi was studying the first seven moves of the Heart Sword Technique. Although there were only seven moves, they were enough because the seventh move could perfectly combine the heart power with the divine power and the magic power. [Note 1]

"It seems..." Jiang Zhe scratched his head, hesitantly, "This thing is not as difficult as I imagined."

Jiang Zhe vaguely remembered the moves at the end of "Heart Sword Art" - the eighth move, inexplicable; the ninth move, intoxicated; the tenth move, murderous intent; the eleventh move, a teardrop; the twelfth move, sword like a tide...

In short, it is becoming more and more abstract and confusing.

"Ji Ning once said that when he was comprehending the Heart Sword Technique, he could feel the Heart Sword Emperor's fiery emotions... Isn't this Yang Guo's Sorrowful Palm?"

"There is also the same type of method as the 'God Emperor Great Extermination Technique' created by the God Emperor He Long... This person has cut off all emotions and reached the state of perfect Tao heart, and his will to pursue the strongest state is equally blazing."

"So, the trick to perfectly combine mental strength with divine strength and magical power is actually very simple. It is to rely on a fiery will to forcibly combine energies with completely different properties."

"The combination of the three forces is weaker than the combination of the three forces, but it is much stronger than any of the three forces used alone."

Jiang Zhe laughed. Didn’t this just hit the muzzle of my gun?

If you test my understanding of the laws, I may have this or that problem.

What are the differences between the two worlds’ laws? What is the time required for transformation? What is the source of the origin that cannot be found and where to start?

But if you mean a test of will?

Humph! No one understands will better than me! No one!

The Supreme? Even the Supreme is not allowed!

After just taking a look at the Heart Sword Technique·Seventh Style·Heart of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Zhe threw it aside, no longer studying it in detail, and began to try it out with his own understanding.

The mental and magical powers combined to carry an emerald orb and smash it into the inky black lake shrouded in black mist in the distance.

boom!

The terrifying aura forced aside a large area of ​​black fog on the lake surface. The gem slammed into the inky black water, but only caused a small splash. Then only ripples remained on the inky black lake surface. The black fog quickly surged back and covered the lake surface again.

A series of changes happened in just a few breaths.

"Hmm? I didn't hold back my power just now. It seems there's something strange in the 'Broken Weapon Pond'."

"Hm?! You swallowed my baby?!"

Jiang Zhe discovered that his emerald orb could not be retrieved as it was swallowed up by the inky lake.

However, the twelve-colored gems are renewable for the Hunyuan Umbrella, so he just exclaimed in surprise and didn't pay much attention to it.

Jiang Zhe caught a glimpse of the ancestral gods and immortals around him who were astounded by him. Even his cheap disciple was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and sent him a message.

"Teacher, it is absolutely impossible for a World Realm cultivator to make such a big noise in the Weapon Breaking Pond. With that strike just now, they saw that you were comparable to the Taoist Master of Life and Death, and they were surprised by it. Also, don't manipulate the magic weapon into the lake again, as it will swallow the magic weapon. It is said that no one has been able to retrieve the magic weapon that has been trapped in it. Your pearl may..."

Jiang Zhe waved his hand and said, "That's okay. I have many similar ones... I understand. You can continue to practice."

"is teacher."

Yan Lingzi glanced at the Zhebing Pond again, turned around and continued to fiddle with the three cyan gold dolls.

Jiang Zhe recalled the feeling just now.

"No, the mental power and the magic power are not activated at the same time. I have to use the magic power to send out the magic weapon first, and then the mental power will naturally spread and match it."

boom!

Another night pearl smashed into the Zhebing Pool.

But it did not crash into the lake like last time. Instead, it forced away the steaming black mist, passed through the inky water surface, made a "U"-shaped circle, and floated back in front of Jiang Zhe.

"Not even close. Come on!"

boom!

"Come again!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom--

Ancient Soldiers Relics Center.

The fat rat spirit had been staring at Jiang Zhe. At this moment, his fat face was trembling with horror. His bean-sized eyes were as round as they could be, closely scrutinizing every attack that Jiang Zhe made with the orb.

"He's a human? Has he learned it a long time ago and is just showing it to me now?"

"From the first attack with no skill to now, every attack I make has improved. My mental strength and magical power are combining rapidly!"

"Where did this pervert come from?!!!"

"As soon as he opened up his mind world, the energy he consumed was comparable to the total energy consumed by a pre-Dao mind power practitioner to build his mind world. Now that he has comprehended the secret of the perfect combination of mind power, divine power, and magic power, it is as simple as eating and drinking water... His performance will make many masters feel ashamed and feel that they have practiced in vain for endless years."

"He did not follow the path pioneered by his predecessors step by step, but instead discovered the secret of perfectly combining mental strength with divine power and magical power on his own, and was able to combine them at will without being bound by form (moves)... If this is all true, I dare not think about it!"

The fat rat spirit's short hair stood up with excitement and his whole body was trembling. He felt that he might witness the birth of a master or a being comparable to a master with his own eyes.

A practitioner who can figure out the secret of the perfect combination of mental strength, divine power and magical power is definitely not an ordinary person!

boom! boom! boom! boom--

Jiang Zhe continued to blast the Night Pearl towards the Weapon Breaking Pool again and again.

Gradually, I entered a wonderful state. The surrounding mountains, black fog, and lake water gradually blurred until they disappeared, leaving only a clean and empty world.

boom!

The Night Pearl flew out for the one hundred and twenty-third time, dragging a brilliant tail flame, violently breaking through the clean void, and its trajectory divided the sky and earth into two halves.

This meteorite, which seemed to have the power to destroy the world, became the core of this world.

Porcine! Phenine——

Everything shattered, and Jiang Zhe's senses returned to the real world.

The Night Pearl that was hit out forced away the black fog covering billions of miles on the lake surface. It clearly did not fall on the lake surface, but just passed by high above, causing a series of inky water splashes wherever it went, causing the Zhebing Pond to be in constant turmoil.

"The perfect combination of mental strength and magical power, I am amazing! This attack has the power of a second-step Taoist master, right?"

Such a horrifying attack made the surrounding ancestral gods and immortals feel as if they had seen a ghost.

Some of them ducked their heads and quietly slipped away, fearing that Jiang Zhe would suddenly go crazy and the aftermath would kill them;

Some of them looked unwillingly at Yan Lingzi and Jiang Zhe, hoping to get on their good side and get some opportunities.

"teacher?"

Yan Lingzi called her teacher with a slightly resentful look in her eyes. She couldn't concentrate on her practice.

It has only been a short while and the teacher has already made such a big fuss.

Jiang Zhe acted as if he didn't hear it. He turned around and looked at the cliff carvings behind him. His magic power fell on the indentations of the golden words. His mood rippled slightly, and his mental strength naturally spread out, fitting in perfectly.

Ji Ning's "combination of three forces" requires the guidance of the moves of "Heart Sword Technique", but Jiang Zhe's own understanding does not require it and can be achieved with just a few moves.

As long as the will is strong, no matter it is joy, anger, sorrow, thought or resentment...strong enough emotions and strong enough will can perfectly combine mental strength, divine power and magical power.

"The secret of the word 'bing', pry it open for me!"

Boom! Rumble——

The mountains within the entire area of ​​the Ancient Weapon Ruins and the Wanbing Tomb were shaking together, especially the highest peak in front of them, which was shaking so hard that it seemed to be pulled out of the ground.

The words carved on the smooth cliff wall glowed with golden light and trembled. Then, groups of golden word shadows emerged from the imprints. Thousands of word shadows gathered towards a point in the sky, and finally formed a golden vortex.

"The secret of the cliff carvings has been revealed. The inheritance and treasures of Duobao Daojun are all inside. Go! Go! Go! Whoever sees it will get a share!"

Someone suddenly shouted, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The greed in the hearts of the ancestral gods and immortals overwhelmed their reason, and their fear of Jiang Zhe was instantly thrown out of the window. With red eyes, they rushed towards the golden vortex like moths to a flame.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—

The ancestral gods and immortals who first approached the golden vortex exploded into balls of flesh and blood fireworks.

More than a dozen ancestral gods and immortals, who were a beat slower, stopped their momentum and looked at Jiang Zhe anxiously, suspecting that it was his work, and the words of begging for mercy were already on their lips.

"Don't look at me, it wasn't me."

Jiang Zhe shrugged and gave a meaningful smile.

"I passed the test of Duobao Daojun. Whatever comes next, the array spirit will give it to me. How could I give you the chance to claim it? Instead of drooling over it, you should first study the method engraved on the rock wall to break through to the world realm, and then learn how to perfectly combine mental power with divine power and magic power to meet Duobao Daojun's requirements. By the way, if you don't have a talent for mental training, then leave here as soon as possible. Don't sit under the rock wall and waste your time. Duobao Daojun's way is not suitable for you."

The remaining ancestral gods and immortals were moved. With one of them taking the lead, they descended from the sky one after another and bowed to Jiang Zhe together.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"Thanks for the guidance, senior!"

"..."

Jiang Zhe ignored him and turned his head to look at Yan Lingzi who was standing beside him with an excited expression.

"If I leave you outside alone, there's no guarantee that nothing will happen. Don't resist. I will take you into my cave magic weapon."

"is teacher."

Jiang Zhe waved his sleeves, put Yan Lingzi into the internal space of the Hunyuan Umbrella, and jumped into the golden vortex.

The golden vortex shrank and finally turned into a point and disappeared.

The scene in front of him changed, and the moment he stepped on solid ground, Jiang Zhe looked around.

He was surrounded by gray stone tombstones of varying sizes. His feet were on the rippling ground, as if he were standing on water. A golden coffin was placed about ten feet in front of him.

Maybe it contains the Daoist Duobao, whose true spirit has collapsed?

It is so sad to die in a foreign land. Fortunately, my angry clone can be summoned back at any time using the Tao Tree.

Jiang Zhe's thoughts wandered as he waited patiently.

Not long after, a figure appeared next to the golden coffin.

It was round and plump, only about as tall as Jiang Zhe's chest, like a white mouse standing upright, wearing a jacket with copper coin prints.

"Sorry for the wait."

It seemed to be very busy, and it had finally found time to rush over. Its short rat paws brushed my face, as if it was trying to wipe away the non-existent sweat.

"I have something to ask for, and I should wait."

Jiang Zhe smiled lightly and bowed.

"Greetings, senior."

The fat rat smiled, his facial fat and beard huddled together, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't be called a senior, I'm just a spirit, just call me 'Apiao'."

"Senior Ah Piao, I have passed the test set by Senior Duobao, right? What should I do now?"

The Fat Rat Spirit did not correct Jiang Zhe's address, but asked, "You just said you wanted something, so what do you want?"

"I want to know the follow-up of the method engraved on the cliff. You should have the Dao of the Taoist master in your hands, right? Or perhaps some related secret techniques and magical powers? I want to see them all."

"Yes, they all are."

The fat rat spirit nodded and changed the subject.

"However, I won't show you the way my master failed."

"Kid, go and look at the stone tablets around you. They come from the Lingbao Sutra, and together they form a master-level secret book. There are many categories in it, including body training, weapon control, weapon refining, puppetry, formations... There is always something you are interested in."

“Treasure it well. My master only learned less than one tenth of it and became a second-level Dao Lord. If he is given enough eternal divine weapons, he will be the pinnacle Dao Lord and can easily kill ordinary eternal emperors.”

Jiang Zhe glanced around and saw more than a hundred stone tablets of various sizes. Does that mean there are more than a hundred magic doors?

He suddenly felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.

"Senior, how many doors am I allowed to check?"

"Just read it casually. You can learn as many subjects as you want. It's no problem to memorize all the Lingbao Sutra."

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes and said, "Senior, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Oh, you are sober and smart, kid."

The fat rat chuckled and threw a green jade bottle at Jiang Zhe.

"There are three million cubic meters of Chaos Spiritual Liquid in it, which is an investment for you. When you succeed in merging with the Dao, come and get my master's coffin and send it back to his hometown. If you fail in merging with the Dao, just pretend that nothing happened. Are you willing?"
