Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

"First, we all have sensor disks, which allow us to communicate with each other within the array, making it more convenient."

Secondly, I trust you completely.

Fellow Daoist Violet and Fellow Daoist Wine Gourd have both had contact with you and think you should be a reliable person. In addition, your strength is not weak now, so you would be a good helper.

Of course, the main reason is because of my strong recommendation.

At this point, the one favored by the gods smiled slightly.

If there are benefits, he will naturally think of his brothers.

Although that cave was also a dangerous place, requiring one to confront the bear demon, it might also contain other dangers.

However, risks and opportunities coexist.

The Heart Sword Technique, as the most supreme sword technique in ancient times, is incredibly powerful and definitely worth trying.

"In addition, we have also discussed this."

Among the treasures, anything involving cultivation techniques or spells is shared, and everyone can make a copy.

Of course, if it is relatively precious, a vow will be made to keep it secret.

In other words, no one except a few of us is allowed to spread this.

This is also for everyone's safety.

Otherwise, if the enemy finds out, they might target us deliberately.

As for the other treasures, they were also distributed equally, with each person taking what they needed.

"There's no need for you to worry about that, fellow Daoist."

Then, the chosen one explained further.

"Oh?

With fellow Daoists favored by the gods by my side, I naturally have no worries about these things.

The only concern is whether the art of the Heart Sword truly exists there.

Chen Yushu asked with a slight hesitation.

"That cannot be guaranteed."

However, we all agree that the probability is over 60%.

In ancient times, the Heart Sword Sect suffered a great calamity, and the sect leader and the young sect leader both perished.

With the Supreme Elder nearing the end of his lifespan and a formidable enemy approaching, in order to preserve the lineage, the Heart Sword Sect divided its many inheritances one by one, sending several elders out to find suitable successors and disciples.

This Wutong Zhenren was one of the several elders who were assigned to the Heart Sword Sect at that time.

However, unexpectedly, within a few years, the world changed drastically, the environment was reversed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became extremely thin. The original cultivation system was no longer suitable for cultivators.

Many ancient cultivators could only seal off spiritual lands with grand formations and build cave dwellings to maintain their cultivation and vitality.

Naturally, all the treasures and inheritances they carried were also hidden in their cave dwellings.

That Master Wutong should be the same.”

Those favored by the gods naturally put a lot of thought into this cave dwelling, and had already investigated its origins, the historical context, and other aspects.

Only then did they have a certain degree of confidence, certain that it was highly likely to contain the true secret techniques of the Heart Sword Sect, the Heart Sword Technique.

"I see."

Chen Yushu nodded, a look of realization appearing on his face. Then, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Since you have invited me so sincerely, fellow Daoist..."

"Of course I have no reason not to."

"Hahaha.

I knew you would agree.

With a fellow Daoist's assistance, our chances of success on this trip have greatly increased.

Upon hearing this, the one favored by the gods laughed loudly and said...

"I just wonder when we will set out on this mission?"

Chen Yushu smiled slightly, then his expression turned serious, and he asked.

"Two weeks later!"
Coincidentally, there was a small cultivator exchange meeting in Tianling County at that time.

At that time, countless cultivators from all over the country will gather there to trade and exchange ideas.

Occasionally, rare treasures and unusual items will also appear.

Fellow Daoist, you can also go and have a look around then.

Maybe with a bit of luck, I might snag a bargain.

You should know that last year, a cultivator found an ancient magical artifact among a pile of abandoned buildings.

After being refined, it was still usable and sold for an astronomical price.

The one favored by the gods first answered a question, and then spoke with great interest.

"is it?
"Then we definitely need to go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu also showed interest.

He didn't have much hope for finding a bargain.

This is, after all, a low-probability event, and he doesn't think he'll actually have that kind of luck.

But that small market was also an excellent place for him to sell his elixirs.

Although he had previously sold his elixirs through the Liu Family Pharmacy, the Liu Family Pharmacy mainly served ordinary people and martial artists.

His Vitality Pills and Bone Strengthening Pills were actually targeted at Yin cultivators, so naturally, sales were not very smooth.

At least, he has not yet received any news of the elixir selling well.

Otherwise, someone from the Liu family's pharmacy would have already come to him to restock.

In his view, this cultivator market was a natural place to sell elixirs.

Since many cultivators from all over the country have been attracted here, there will inevitably be a demand for spirit pills. At that time, it will be time for him to sell spirit pills in large quantities.

After the matter was settled, the one favored by the gods did not linger.

He had just finished his business and happened to be passing by, so he took the opportunity to discuss the matter of the cave dwelling with him.

Now that everything was settled, he needed to go back and meet with him. Now that they had met and the matter had been discussed, he naturally had no intention of staying and took his leave.

After seeing off the favored one, Chen Yushu returned to his room.

"Heart Sword Sect, True Man Wutong, Heart Sword Technique..."

Chen Yushu pondered silently, quickly recalling the many books he had read, especially those he had seen at the academy.

Having long possessed the ability to remember everything he saw, he naturally memorized the contents of many books he had read.

At this moment, a brief recollection brought countless details to mind.

It contains a great deal of information, including some records of its deeds in ancient times.

"Unfortunately, most of them are books of poetry and prose, and there are relatively few records about martial arts practitioners and cultivators."

Not to mention the ancient world of cultivation.

There are only scattered fragments of description.

However, there are indeed some descriptions about the Heart Sword Sect.

A flicker appeared in Chen Yushu's eyes.

In his memory, there was only one description of the Heart Sword Sect.

"The successor of the Heart Sword Sect, in a battle with the demoness of the Demonic Sect in Moon Gazing Valley, carved out a horizontal trench. That trench is called the Sword Trench. The Sword Trench is three hundred feet long and about ten feet wide, spanning two places. The trench is so smooth that if you touch it, you can even feel the chilling sword intent emanating from it, which makes people's hearts go cold..."

Just this one sentence.

However, it directly depicts the unparalleled brilliance of that sword strike from the successor of the Heart Sword Sect.

"This undoubtedly proves that the Heart Sword Sect was incredibly powerful at that time."

This description alone is enough to show that the successor's strength far surpasses mine at this moment.

I reckon that even if he hasn't reached the True Person realm, he's still comparable to the Dao Entry Sun Tour realm, or even stronger.

That sword strike must have been the power of the Heart Sword Technique…

Chen Yushu muttered to himself, a slight ripple stirring within him. Because after this passage, the author added a sentence: "Among contemporary sword cultivators, their attacks are unparalleled; at the same level, perhaps only lightning magic cultivators can rival them."

In other words.

At that time, the sword cultivators' attack power was also top-notch.

Only cultivators who have mastered thunder magic can rival it in terms of attack power and destructive force.

"If I master the Heart Sword Technique, and also have the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique by my side..."

In terms of offensive warfare, they are truly formidable, capable of dominating their respective realms.

Chen Yushu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

……

night.

Chen Yushu did not neglect his cultivation.

He once again used his astral projection technique to travel through Qinghe County at night.

After yesterday's battle, neither the local earth god Xu Qing nor his temple keeper Feng Changxi appeared again.

Chen Yushu was also happy to have some free time.

He simply instructed Zhu Jiuzhi and Zhuge Xun to be careful.

After all, he was a mid-stage Ghost Spirit of the Demonic Realm and a powerful expert who had reached the Daoist Night Wandering Realm, so he still took them seriously to some extent.

While he was slightly superior in terms of absolute strength, his opponent's speed was indeed a major headache for him.

In the darkness, when he uses the Concealing Fragrance Technique, his presence is almost imperceptible to outsiders.

Therefore, Chen Yushu was very pleased.

Occasionally, you can hear the two ghosts talking in the wind.

Most of them were about everyday family matters.

There are also conversations between ghosts and spirits.

Especially after death, when consciousness does not completely dissipate, people can actually remember most things. Many ghosts will even linger around their former homes for a long time after death.

Then, suddenly seeing another person—a deceased relative or neighbor—would elicit an "Oh!" greeting, saying, "You're here too?"

At this moment, the same situation was also observed.

The two ghosts chatted like ordinary ghosts.

The old ghost asked, "How did you die?"

The new ghost said, "Alas, you have falsely believed in ghosts and gods."

Didn't I believe in that land before? Or was it their fanatical belief?

Two days ago, the temple keeper there said he was going to gather about a hundred fanatical believers to do something big.

Everyone in the surrounding area knows I'm an absolute fanatic. I went there with great enthusiasm.

Unexpectedly, they wanted my heart's blood, saying it was to attract a dragon.

Then he said that the Earth God would protect me and keep me safe and sound, and that I would certainly not die.

So I believed it.

At that moment, I let someone stab me in the heart...

You believe that?
See, isn't he dead now?
Boss, I told you long ago not to believe in any of those superstitious things, and now you've regretted it.

Poor widow and her orphan... and that wife of yours, so young, I couldn't help but steal glances at her when I was alive.

Now look what's happened, it's probably going to benefit someone else.

Upon hearing this, the old ghost sighed and then peered into a house below with his ghostly eyes.

"You old bastard, I knew you had bad intentions."

"If you hadn't died so young, I would have beaten you up long ago."

The new ghost stared wide-eyed, then sighed and said, "That's for sure."

However, they weren't lying.

It was to keep me from dying.

But I transformed myself into a ghost.

If I hadn't been quick-witted and desperately rushed out after transforming into a ghost, I probably would still be trapped in that earth god temple..."

The new ghost sighed repeatedly, revealing a rare hint of melancholy.

Chen Yushu was taken aback when he heard this.

Does heart's blood summon a dragon?

Suddenly, there was a sudden movement.

He quickly reappeared in front of the two ghosts.

Both ghosts were startled. The new ghost, whose soul had just been formed and was at its most vulnerable, was suddenly half-dissipated.

Not only was his entire soul much weaker, but most of his memories also seemed to have dissipated, leaving him looking somewhat dazed and confused, as if his soul was about to be scattered at any moment.

Chen Yushu frowned and casually cast a Soul-Soothing Technique.

This soul-soothing technique is just a simple application of soul-soothing; it doesn't even qualify as magic. Even with his own understanding of ghosts and spirits, he could create and cast it.

So the ghost's soul quickly stabilized, though it still looked somewhat dazed.

Chen Yushu knew that this was because the other party's memory had faded.

Most ghosts and spirits, if they retain their consciousness from their previous life, are quite agile and possess a certain degree of spirituality.

The more memories a ghost retains from its previous life, the greater its future achievements will be.

Just like Zhu Jiuzhi and Xiao Hong, they both retained nearly 90% of their consciousness from their previous lives, and with certain opportunities, they were able to become spirits, or even supernatural spirits.

In the future, it may even transform into a disaster or calamity.

The wandering ghosts scattered in various places mostly retain relatively few memories, less than 30%. Their original consciousness has faded away, so they can only live in a daze, unaware of their origins or the meaning of their existence.

In the long run, the only way out is to dissipate and turn into ashes.

"What do you mean by 'drawing a dragon with heart's blood'?"

Chen Yushu looked at the new ghost and asked.

"Ah, I, no..."

The new ghost panicked, its face filled with horror.

It is said that people are three parts afraid of ghosts, while ghosts are seven parts afraid of people. People can scare ghosts to death. Since ghosts do not have a physical body, they are actually even more timid.

Chen Yushu's sudden appearance just now almost scared it out of its wits. Even after being calmed down by the Soul-Soothing Technique, it was still somewhat shaken, but it dared not not answer.

Because it sensed an aura from Chen Yushu that was stronger than that of the Earth God, it hurriedly spoke up, saying, "I don't know the specifics."

However, since I was once a core fanatic within the Earth God's organization, I overheard something about it. They said that it requires the blood of 108 people, along with some miscellaneous materials, to be poured into the Dragon Pool. The dragons there simply can't stay there and will desperately try to swim out..."

When exactly did this happen?

How long have you been dead?

Chen Yushu then asked.

One day ago.

That night, we were summoned in the middle of the night, without even having a chance to say goodbye to our families.

The new ghost quickly spoke up.

And that is why he was able to return home.

Even after he died, his obsession drove him to desperately want to go home.

The moment a new demon is born, a pure power emerges that can break through many constraints.

Passing through walls and shadows is an ability they develop at this moment, born from their obsession.

This allowed it to successfully break free from the earth god.

Of course, it was mainly due to good luck; the local earth god Xu Qing was not present, and the temple keeper Feng Changxi had just been injured by Chen Yushu, so no one intercepted it. (End of Chapter)
