Martial Arts: Signing in for sixty years, I, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society

Page 178

Layer upon layer of Taoist charm rippled like water, sweeping across all directions.

With each passing Daoist aura, everyone present—including Cang Qu—was violently shaken, except for Chuan Ying. Xie Tiao, who was directly affected by the first Daoist aura, instantly turned his full head of black hair white.

"No! I don't want to die... Cang Qu, save me!"

Xie Tiao tried to escape, but could not withstand the power of the Daoist aura.

Before he could finish speaking, the second layer of Daoist rhyme arrived.

"I... am not reconciled..."

With his final murmur, Xie Tiao vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

Chuan Ying then quickly made a hand seal and retrieved the jade pendant using the secret method taught to him by Ximen Yu.

As the light faded, everyone remained unsettled.

"Is this Ximen Yu's true strength...?"

Cang Qu's face was ashen.

When Yu Jue disrupted the Heavenly Demon's stance earlier, he only thought that Ximen Yu was a few realms higher than him. Even if there was a gap, he could still catch up with the help of secret techniques.

These two impacts of Daoist energy almost shattered his Daoist resolve.

Only now did he realize that the gap between himself and Ximen Yu was not a chasm, but a vast galaxy!

Cang Qu's Dao heart was on the verge of collapse.

The Dragon Elephant Monk and the Joyful Monk both had blood seeping from the corners of their lips. Although they were not Dao Yun's primary target, the two were still seriously injured.

250 - The Jade Disc of He Shi Bi!

"Gentlemen," Chuan Ying said, lightly waving the jade pendant in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd whose auras were disordered, "does anyone else want these two manuals?"

"Hmph! Now that the matter is settled, I am going into seclusion to cultivate. Your Majesty, until we meet again."

Although Cang Qu arrived with great fanfare, he lost all face. With nowhere to vent his anger, he could only give Wu Zetian a slight bow before disappearing without a trace.

“Amitabha, since there is no more conflict here, the two martial arts manuals should belong to the Azure Dragon Society. This humble monk and my junior brother will take our leave now.”

The monk Longxiang's face was flushed, clearly not as carefree as Cangqu. He chanted a Buddhist prayer to Wu Zetian and then prepared to leave with the monk Huanxi.

The monk remained silent, flicked his sleeves, and swept straight toward Shan Wanjing.

The Taoist priest who had previously fought with the Joyful Monk made another move, his attacks fierce, and he clashed head-on with the Joyful Monk.

"Why bother? Grudges should be resolved, not perpetuated!"

The Dragon Elephant Monk tried to mediate, but his actions were ruthless. With a whoosh of palm wind, the sounds of dragons roaring and elephants bellowing arose as he and the Joyful Monk joined forces to attack the Taoist priest.

"Master Sun, be careful! Quickly help Master Sun and save Shan Wanjing!"

Wu Zetian's face was ashen. It was one thing for Chuan Ying to have interfered and killed Xie Tiao, who had recently joined the Tang Dynasty—after all, the Azure Dragon Society and Ximen Yu were powerful forces that the Tang Dynasty couldn't afford to offend. But what were these Dragon Elephant Monk and Joyful Monk? They actually dared to imitate Chuan Ying and take Shan Wanjing away right under her nose?

"Don't even think about getting away!"

Several of the Great Tang Protectors joined forces with the Taoist priest surnamed Sun to besiege the two monks, Longxiang and Huanxi.

"Amitabha Buddha, is this how the Tang Dynasty treats its guests?"

Above the Daming Palace, a child slowly emerged from behind the two monks; it was Padmasambhava. Following him were Sihanfei and several Yuan Dynasty warriors.

"The Yuan Dynasty has actually sent out its entire army?"

Although Wu Zetian could not recognize all of these Yuan Dynasty masters, she knew from the sight of their formation that they were no ordinary people.

"I didn't expect the Daming Palace to be so lively. I've come at just the right time."

A group of people suddenly appeared on the west side of the Daming Palace. The leader wore a black crown, and although his face was pale, his brows exuded an air of authority. Shang Yang, Bai Qi, Bei Mingzi, Donghuang Taiyi, Xun Qing, and other powerful figures of Qin followed closely behind.

"Could you be King Zhuangxiang of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Padmasambhava and Empress Wu Zetian spoke in unison, both showing surprise. It was rumored that Prince Zhuangxiang, Zichu, reigned for only three years before dying, allowing his son Ying Zheng to succeed him. Furthermore, because Zichu had been held hostage in an enemy country in his youth, he was frail and sickly and had never practiced martial arts...

Not only did he appear, but he also displayed unfathomable cultivation.

None of the Tang Dynasty devotees or Padmasambhava present could fathom the depth of his abilities.

"Could this be the reliance that allows the Qin Dynasty to dominate all other states?"

Wu Zetian's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she had already guessed Zichu's identity.

"It's rare that the Empress and Your Excellency still remember me."

Zi Chu smiled calmly and turned his gaze to Shan Wanjing.

"Enough of the pleasantries. My son has taken a liking to this woman. I wonder if you two would be willing to grant his request?"

Before he finished speaking, Bei Mingzi and Xun Qing had already stood on either side of Shan Wanjing, making a move to leave with their people.

Padmasambhava and Wu Zetian looked at each other and frowned, but both remained silent in tacit agreement.

The Qin cavalry was unparalleled in the world, and now that Zichu has personally arrived, it further demonstrates its growing prowess.

To deal with the Azure Dragon Society, we must rely on the power of the Great Qin.

Moreover, Zichu is the biological father of the current Qin Emperor.

With such a disparity in strength, the two could only sigh inwardly.

Chuan Ying leaped over, and with a flick of his sleeve, he sent Bei Mingzi and his companion flying back several steps.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..."

Zichu calmly took out an ancient seal from his sleeve.

As true essence was poured in, the jade seal emitted a hazy, clear light.

That seemingly faint radiance shook everyone present to their core.

"The He Shi Bi jade!"

Both Wu Zetian and Padmasambhava changed color at the same time.

This item is a national treasure of the Qin Dynasty, and it is said that it was nurtured by the dragon's breath by successive Qin kings.

Over time, this jade has absorbed the imperial aura of the Qin Dynasty, enabling it to not only help successive Qin kings undergo a complete transformation and eliminate impurities, but also to ensure a smooth path of cultivation.

This jade is a national treasure of the Qin Dynasty. When the King of Qin wields this jade, every time he uses it, he can summon the vast and boundless dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty.

Ordinary martial artists are unable to contend with the emperors of the major dynasties precisely because of the suppression of the dynasty's dragon aura.

The Qin Dynasty was the most powerful state in the world, and its dragon aura was naturally unparalleled throughout the land.

Zichu himself was quite strong, and now he was further empowered by the He Shi Bi jade, which could control the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty.

Its true combat power can leap to at least several levels.

If they were to confront Ximen Yu head-on, they might still be insufficient.

But if Zichu fights against this power of Dao with all his might, he might not be unable to win!

"Truly remarkable..."

Chuan Ying never expected that the former King of Qin would bring such a treasure.

His actions were simply in accordance with the principle of "not giving the enemy what they want."

Seeing that Shan Wanjing was exceptionally beautiful and seemed to be involved in some secrets.

If we can bring it back and present it to the Great Dragon Head, it will be a great achievement.

In addition, there are two secret manuals: "The Dao Heart Seeds Demons" and "The Demon Heart Seeds the Dao Technique".

If the Great Dragon Head is pleased, he might reward you with a Breakthrough Pill or other rare treasures.

In this way, one's strength can be further improved!

Once a martial artist enters the realm of terrestrial immortals, each step forward is extremely difficult and requires a long period of arduous cultivation.

Rather than cultivating step by step, it would be faster to complete the mission for the Great Dragon Head.

But now, they are caught in a dilemma!

If the Daoist Jade Pendant, which is relied upon to subdue the enemy, cannot control the situation, how should we end this?

If they retreat, what face will the Green Dragon Society have left?

However, just as the situation reached a stalemate and Chuan Ying hesitated,

Above the heavens, the Heavenly Dao Golden List suddenly burst forth with boundless brilliance.

Golden light instantly covered every corner of the land.

Even in the dead of night, everyone was awakened by this strange phenomenon.

After a moment, the golden light faded, and lines of text slowly appeared.

[Ninety-ninth on the Nine Provinces Battle Power Ranking: Sun En, Cultivation: Early Mythical Stage.]

[Identity: Leader of the Celestial Masters Sect of the Tang Dynasty, honored as "Daojun", and a protector of the Tang Dynasty]

Although the Celestial Masters sect of the Tang Dynasty originated from the Celestial Master's Mansion founded by Zhang Daoling, Sun En was not a descendant of the Celestial Masters, so he had to find another way.

[Three thousand six hundred gates, each person wielding their own method.]

The true essence of Taoist mysteries is not necessarily found entirely within the Taoist canon.

Sun En meticulously studied Daoist classics such as the Daoist Canon, Laozi's Three Thousand Words, and the Tao Te Ching, and finally comprehended the Yellow Heaven.

This skill is divided into nine levels.

The most important thing is to refine a worldly and impure mind.

【Double Refinement of Stillness and Cultivation of Zen Mind】

Every gesture he made carried the might of Heaven.

With all their might, even the most formidable foe will be annihilated.

[The Heavenly Dao comments:] Exceptionally talented, he opened up a whole new world; it's a pity that with Dao Ling preceding him, he didn't receive the title of "Dao Venerable."

[Heaven's Gift: Yin and Yang in Harmony, in Accordance with the Great Dao]

Although Huang Tian was in darkness, he was in accordance with the principles of Heaven and was extremely fierce.

However, this method goes against the will of Heaven, harming both the enemy and the user's own lifespan.

[Bestowed with Longevity Elixir and Enlightenment Elixir, from *Taiping Qingling Dao*]

By integrating the principles of the "Taiping Qingling Dao," one can attain the perfect and boundless Yellow Heaven.

[Breaking through the void, the Great Dao is within reach]

......
