Lingzhang

Chapter 746 Skillfully Making Several Lotus Blossoms
The exchange of attacks was unremarkable.

Or to be more precise, there wasn't even a process of attack.

Yue Hanzhang had only moved his body to the vicinity, and in the instant that the great curtain of divine light was reflected behind him, before the Dao Mother's talisman array could be laid out, he used various extraordinary Daoist techniques infused with the divine charm of a king.

Under the suppression of Yue Hanzhang's surging aura, that person lost all power to resist.

It's not some old, long-standing repair.

Rather, they were the "latest learners" among the ranks of all the ancestors and kings.

However, the outdoor scenery is just a different story.

Despite his extraordinary foundation in Taoist magic, he wasn't much stronger than Fu Yingchuan in the past.

Such a frail king was no match for the pure aura pressure released by Yue Hanzhang.

In the next moment, without any further words, Yue Hanzhang raised his hand and formed an array in an instant, which then transformed into nine long dragons of molten lava in the next instant.

The sealing technique was activated, and nine chains instantly bound the human-shaped spirit.

Yue Hanzhang forcibly split the human form and spirit apart, and the Daoist aura of the Birth Ritual followed closely behind. Instantly, the exposed new form of the human soul abruptly transformed into the soul of the Azure Lotus Palace.

And it was in that very instant that...

Yue Hanzhang built a bridge towards this person's wide-open appearance and spirit.

The departing spirit of the new form, in that instant, guided Yue Hanzhang's spiritual bridge to two divergent paths.

A side road is nearby on the left.

Yue Hanzhang knew that this side path led to the central talisman array of the Qinglian Mansion, which he had just "created".

As soon as this formation was completed, Yue Hanzhang connected it with his previous arrangements in the White Lotus Mansion. If any members of the Green Lotus Mansion were to die outside and their talisman array was mistakenly connected, the secret ritual of birth would guide their souls into this realm.

Then the previous arrangement would directly seal all souls and true spirits into the mechanical seedlings.

The other fork in the road seemed a bit too far away.

"Starfield Five..."

This was Yue Hanzhang's true purpose.

The Xing Shen Bridge followed this fork in the road without hesitation.

With his profound understanding of Taoism, Yue Hanzhang has reached the fifth level of the outer realm, mastering the seven refinements of talisman arrays and seal patterns, and even the seven refinements of internal body forging.

In the boundless starry sky, the instantaneous teleportation, regardless of distance, no longer posed any pressure for Yue Hanzhang.

Whether it is the power of Mount Sumeru that binds it, or this kind of illusory and real swirling and turning.

Yue Hanzhang walked as if on flat ground, as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard.

Swah——

In the blink of an eye, they had already traversed star fields one after another.

Yue Hanzhang's figure appeared in the true Qinglian Mansion secret realm, inside the Qinglian flying saucer, on the original central talisman array.

The very first moment upon entering this realm.

Yue Hanzhang then lowered his head to examine the original talisman array.

Every crucial point and juncture was exactly as Yue Hanzhang had deduced and interpreted!
Only the key nodes that integrate these characteristics, and the seal patterns that act as "adhesives" between the basic symbol array framework, differ in detail from those "original" by Yue Hanzhang.

"what!"

"Looking at it this way, mine is actually more exquisite!"

As he spoke, Yue Hanzhang's divine sense, accompanied by the humming of a mechanical melody, had already encompassed the entire Azure Lotus Flying Saucer.

hum - hum - hum -

Amidst the jubilant mechanical vibrations, the souls and true spirits of the Azure Lotus Palace residing within this enormous Azure Lotus flying saucer transformed into a shower of purple-gold light. In an instant, this light surged into Yue Hanzhang's body and then raced through the tranquil world.

The tremors in the mechanical brain were deeper than ever before.

This is because it involves not only the mechanical brain resonating with these souls and spirits, but also the resonance between these spirits and the fully lit mechanical fragments at the level of Dao and Law after the spirits enter the mechanical brain.

then.

While a large amount of data traffic is accumulating in the machine's brain.

Accompanied by these massive numbers of souls and true spirits, following the resonance of the Dao, they merged with the original mechanical inscriptions.

Suddenly, in Yue Hanzhang's mechanical mind, a large number of mechanical lotus platforms were created through a leap, corresponding to the first realm of the Nine Seals Golden Elixir.

no way.

These souls and spirits may have once been of extremely high rank, but after years of being nurtured in mechanical seedlings, they only maintain the lowest level of "vitality," and their foundation in Taoist magic and spirituality gradually depletes and dissipates.

The leap to the appearance of the mechanical lotus throne must also take into account the original essence of these mechanical fragments.

Yue Hanzhang was not bothered by this.

As long as the data flow carried by these souls and spirits remains undiminished, Yue Hanzhang will use this data flow to iterate and elevate his mechanical mind in the future.

Yue Hanzhang was able to replenish the deficient essence of these souls and spirits.

Even in the diverse interactions of data traffic, Yue Hanzhang is able to turn the impossible into the possible and do even better!

but.

Speaking of this matter...

Yue Hanzhang didn't have any further thoughts about activating his mechanical brain for self-iteration and sublimation in the short term.

To be honest, he has accumulated a lot of data traffic, but the process of creating the "True Spirit of Data" by borrowing the false and refining the true requires not only the data itself, but also the consumption of spiritual energy or spiritual elixir.

Previously, Yue Hanzhang had repeatedly driven the mechanical brain to iterate and sublimate itself, and the supreme achievement of all laws and methods was born, which was very satisfying.

But the amount of activated spiritual energy and the power of the Great Sun of Spiritual Essence consumed behind this is terrifying.

Honestly.

The prestige that Xingliu Medical's potions provide is no longer enough to support Yue Hanzhang's extravagant spending.

This is also why Yue Hanzhang intended to promote various reforms in Jinzhou.

He must continuously open up new sources of spiritual vitality!
Only when the Jade Capital Taoist Academy is truly completed, and the prestige of Zhenzhou's power radiates throughout the entire state, attracting countless commoners and geniuses to embark on the universally top-tier path of Taoism pioneered by Yue Hanzhang, and to attain the supreme merits secretly transmitted, will the suddenly soaring spiritual vitality be anchored at a higher value, perhaps then it will be able to continue to support Yue Hanzhang in frequently iterating and sublimating himself.

This step shouldn't be too far off.

In reality, a large number of members of the Dao Alliance's headquarters' Wind Patrol Division have already moved north to Jinzhou.

At the same time, a portion of the Xingliu Legion's battle camps from the Beihai Kingdom had already moved towards Jinzhou ahead of schedule.

The final decision, the true realization of this revolutionary step in the present world and the cosmos, is just around the corner.

After a while.

The "swarming" of the new ministers' souls and spirits finally came to an end.

The entire Azure Lotus Secret Realm became utterly desolate, with only Yue Hanzhang remaining.

Finally, I observed the changes within the mechanical brain.

Yue Hanzhang eventually came to a conclusion.

"The number of fostered souls and true spirits is much smaller, even compared to the Brown Lotus Palace, which has the fewest among them!"

It seems that Qinglian Prefecture is "not very populous".

But this did not cause Yue Hanzhang any dissatisfaction.

Because he clearly realized that this was a matter of give and take. Since there were very few souls and true spirits residing in the Azure Lotus Flying Saucer, there would be more Azure Lotus Palace members entering the mortal world than other Lotus Palaces.

Previously, Shi Yuehanzhang's perception of the "original" talisman array was still somewhat vague.

Because there are not many people in the Azure Lotus Palace near the Seventh Starfield, and there are too many dense connecting threads, it is inevitable that the senses will not be clear when the distance is far.

now.

Yue Hanzhang formed a hand seal and swept it down towards the central rune array beneath his feet. Instantly, the rune array shone brightly, allowing Yue Hanzhang to clearly sense what was happening.

as predicted.

As the stars gradually dispersed around the Fifth Starfield, the number of Qinglian Mansion members that Yue Hanzhang could clearly sense surged dramatically.

and.

By comparing the two "star maps" that were previously sensed, much like a multi-dimensional positioning method, some distant directions that were clearly vague and indistinct when sensed became clear and accurate instantly under the overlap of the two "star maps".

"Indeed, the Azure Lotus Palace is a palace that values ​​engagement with the world! The number of ancestral kings currently existing in the boundless star sea is almost twice that of the other single-symbol groups!"

"That's probably how it should be."

"The cultivation notes on internal alchemy and body tempering written by the two ancestors of the Fu family in the past are clearly his early works on his understanding of the Way of Form and Spirit."

"This means that in extremely ancient times, the Azure Lotus Prefecture had already established a vague and indistinct connection with beings like the Second Ancestor of the Fu Family!"

"This is a far more proactive approach to worldly affairs than any other Lotus Palace!"

"Not only that!"

"The people of Qinglian Mansion have another very distinctive characteristic—"

"They never relied on powerful families for survival!"

"It's not like the Brown Lotus Mansion's relationship with the Wang family of Xiguan, or the White Lotus Mansion's relationship with the Fu family of Yunbo."

"The Azure Lotus Palace is the stronghold of rogue cultivators!"

"Of the eighty percent of the Qinglian Palace members I sensed, they are scattered across various star fields in the current bloody battle."

"The remaining 20% ​​were also sparsely forged into a long line in the ancient battlefield, with few places where they were located in groups of two or three."

"It's good to be a rogue cultivator..."

Yue Hanzhang's eyes grew even brighter.

What does it mean to be a rogue cultivator? It means that Yue Hanzhang's methods can be carried out even more discreetly!
The Sword King who forcibly captured the soul remotely in the past, and the Fu family head's stress reaction.

If Yue Hanzhang intended to annihilate the Qinglian Manor today, then no one would suspect him.

next moment.

Yue Hanzhang changed the hand seals, and the Daoist essence of the secret ritual was gathering in his palm, about to sweep it down towards the central talisman array in front of him.

Suddenly.

Yue Hanzhang's movements froze on the spot.

The surge in computing power further broadened Yue Hanzhang's thinking.

"This method of summoning the soul is indeed efficient and concise..."

"But often, simplicity means less gain!"

"Is what I lack on my path of cultivation merely an improvement in my mechanical mind?"

"Perhaps... we can kill two birds with one stone... or even three birds with one stone!"
-
After a while.

Within the Fifth Star Region.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder and fire bursting tore apart a desolate star belt.

Before the wind and thunder even arrived, the overwhelming pressure had already shattered the great stars into dust.

And this was accompanied by the explosion of one of the large stars.

Inside, a slender figure emerged from the dust and debris, covered in dust and grime, her face still showing a bewildered and confused expression as she was forcibly awakened from her meditative state.

"who is it--"

next moment.

Amidst a sharp buzzing sound.

A black and yellow jade sword, stirring the power of Sumeru, frantically tore through the air and attacked.

Behind that Xuanhuang jade sword was a nine-aperture jade bead, radiating a dazzling, extraordinary light, like a brilliant true sun!
