Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 838 Pure Moon

The Silk-Pulling Spell technique is very important, but it can only be used to its fullest potential when combined with the Golden Puppet Sect's techniques.

Tianyan Zhenjun believed that if the secret technique was possessed by only one outsider, it would not cause great harm to the sect.

Furthermore, the secret technique has become what it is today through the research and practice of countless generations of disciples. He agreed to trade the complete secret technique with the other party, and could take out the ancient formulas.

The old techniques were much less efficient, but there were no other problems.

The secret techniques given away by sects when selling puppets cannot possibly be the most efficient techniques.

In his view, if he could use secret methods to reduce the other party's hostility, it would all be worthwhile.

The opponent's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. The Great Dao Oath is most binding on such cultivators, but it is not very useful for those cultivators who have no hope of advancing further.

"Let's exchange ideas more," Ji An said with a smile. He hadn't expected that this trip would bring the Puppet Hall a complete set of advanced puppet-making techniques, which would solidify the sect's legacy in puppetry.

He understood that the inheritance given by the other party was probably not the best, but what he and the sect needed most at the moment was a strategy and direction.

The three of them sped along the road and only stopped to rest when night fell.

As the campfire burned and the flames flickered, Ji An and the other man discussed the details of the transaction. Tianyan Zhenjun was very generous and directly handed over the secret technique and the puppet-making method.

Ji An made a solemn vow to keep his secret techniques secret and to maintain a friendly relationship with the Golden Puppet Sect, and signed an agreement.

He had thoughts of revenge, but since the other party was so sensible, he couldn't cause any more trouble. The Golden Puppet Sect was a member of the Cloud Sea Merchant Alliance, so there was no need to antagonize them.

He doesn't care about being hostile to other forces, but the sect behind him does.

When traveling, it's best to try to get along peacefully if possible.

Since the other party was being so generous, Ji An felt it wouldn't be good to delay the transaction for several years. He pondered for a moment and said:
“I will return to Xizhou and gather enough supplies for you in a few months. Then we can complete the transaction.”

The purpose of coming to Zhongzhou has been half accomplished; now all that is needed is to purify the pollution of Diancui Mountain and gain merit.

Now, we'll return to the Western Continent and wait for Qin Yan to break through. While waiting, we can have the sect collect resources. If the quantity is insufficient, we can trade with the Southern Continent and the far north.

In addition, once Qin Yan breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, the four spiritual treasures can be upgraded in grade.

In that way, the strength of the defensive field can be increased even more, so that even when facing powerful enemies in the late Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual treasure will not be damaged easily.

Tianyan Daojun felt much more relaxed and said:

"Trading with you is so pleasant. There's no need to rush the physical delivery; just proceed at your own pace."

The next day, Ji An and Tianzhenjun parted ways and flew westward.

As evening fell, he found a secluded spot, set up the magic array, activated it, and then entered the gourd world.

Qin Yan was lazily sitting at the table eating pine nuts. When he saw him enter, he immediately stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, True Lord. Ah Yun is just finishing up her preparations; please ask her to add a few more dishes."

"No need, I'll just eat a few bites. Please sit down and talk without feeling awkward."

Ji An sat down and started eating pine nuts as well.

Qin Yan poured himself a glass of wine, pushed it across the table, sat up straight, and asked:

"Was your friend's breakthrough to a higher realm successful?"

"It's going very smoothly. He's currently working on perfecting his Nascent Soul Dharma Form. I have to leave now."

Ji An chewed the pine nuts a few times, enjoying the unique aroma spreading between his lips and teeth.

He drank half a glass of wine and continued:
"I made a deal with a True Monarch and need to gather a batch of Tier 3 resources to upgrade the spiritual veins. I'm currently heading to the sect."

How's things going on your end? When do you expect a breakthrough?

If the other party breaks through within the sect, they won't need to worry about finding a fourth-tier spiritual vein, which is great.

He was in a good mood at the moment, and he would be able to obtain another Daoist essence once the other party broke through.

Qin Yan replied without hesitation:
"It will take at least two or three months, or at most four or five months, to complete the final trials."

"Has the immortal meridian leading to the center of the forehead been opened?"

"Yes, it was fully opened a few months ago, and it's just waiting for the breakthrough to open the upper dantian."

"Very good. Only when you break through to the Nascent Soul level will the sect's inheritance be truly stable."

Ji An smiled gently. The Five-Colored Deer was his tamed beast, while Li Haoran was a sword cultivator. Their breakthroughs were not of any real reference value, because the sect's mainstream cultivation method was the Five Elements Revolving Scripture.

Only when the second disciple to cultivate the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator can the lineage be considered complete.

The two chatted happily. After dinner, A-Yun cleared the dishes, Qin Yan flew to the small island in the middle of the lava lake, and Ji An began to cultivate his skills to recover his magic power.

Nothing was said that night. With a wave of his sleeve, the white sand that had almost filled the depression was cleared away. He stared silently at the spot stained with golden blood.

After the passing of the Venerable Kongwen, he was ordered by Lotus Temple to go out and investigate. It took him nearly two months and many difficulties to finally arrive here.

Kong Wen is very powerful. He is one of the most powerful monks who came from the east. He also has the ability to see with his own eyes. He is the eyes of the temple.

The Pure Moon Monk King formed a hand seal and drew a circle in the air. When the circle closed, a water curtain appeared.

This is the Round Light Technique, which can explore past events. With his cultivation method and level of expertise, this technique is extremely effective.

Ripples appeared on the water curtain, like the waves stirred up after a stone is thrown into the water. When everything returned to calm, the water curtain solidified into a mirror, reflecting the five-colored mountains.

As the view rose higher, two blurry figures could be seen standing on either side of the mountain; the only distinguishable feature was the color of their robes.

"This is a magical treasure, with five colors of light flashing: blue, red, yellow, white, and black, and it gathers the power of all five elements at the same time."

There must be very few cultivators who possess such a spiritual treasure; we can use it as a means of investigation.

Jingyue cleaned out the soil mixed with Buddha's blood, put it into the shrine and stored it in his Sumeru bag. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a colorful auspicious cloud flying rapidly towards him from afar.

Ji An flew away on a cloud, using his magical power to create a barrier.

If he flew too fast, the wind would cut like a knife. Although he was not afraid of this wind force, he would have some difficulty breathing if he did not erect a barrier.

He saw a fair-skinned monk in the distance, and when he flew closer, he found that the monk was standing in a depression in the ground.

No pressure emanated from the monk's body. If one did not see a real person standing in the light, the place would be a void in one's spiritual perception, as if it were one with the earth.

As Ji An drew closer to the monks, he was slightly surprised when he saw the outline of the sinkhole. This was clearly the mark left by the Five Elements Divine Mountain, and the sinkhole was where Kong Wen had died.

'This guy is probably here to investigate Kong Wen's death. Should we take him down with us?'

Having a powerful weapon, Ji An's subconscious thought was to 'subdue others with force'.

However, since the other party dared to come out all alone, his cultivation level must be quite high, possibly similar to Kong Wen's. If he were to make a rash move, he wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.

His mind raced through a thousand thoughts in an instant. Ji An suppressed the urge to attack and flew away, bypassing the monks.

Jingyue softly chanted the Buddhist mantra, and Buddhist light surged from his body. At the same time, he unhesitatingly summoned the Buddhist treasure, the Five-pronged Vajra.

He took a step forward, his body disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he appeared above Ji An's head. The two ends of the vajra became the size of a human head, pressing down with immense force.

He sensed an unusual movement in the Buddha's blood in the shrine, indicating that the visitor was closely related to the death of the monk Kongwen and was likely one of the thugs who had joined forces to ambush and kill Kongwen. That's why he acted without hesitation.

Although his combat strength was slightly weaker than Kong Wen's, Kong Wen was facing two enemies, and he subconsciously believed that dealing with one of them, even if not easily, would not be a big problem.

Ji An was greatly alarmed. He didn't know what kind of supernatural power the other party had used to cross more than three miles to get to his side. This speed was much faster than when he released the Golden Light of the Earth.

He didn't have time to ponder the other party's reasons for attacking; he knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully, and a fight had to be fought.

The Buddha's light enveloped his body, and the air became thick.

The Buddhist light cultivated by Buddhist practitioners is equivalent to the Dharma form of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it also has a suppressive effect on enemies.

The moment the enemy appeared above his head, Ji An made a hand seal and released a golden light that seemed to leap across the ground, while simultaneously summoning the Five Elements Divine Mountain to protect the area above his head.

His choice proved to be absolutely correct; the speed of the golden light leaping from the ground slowed down, becoming even slower than the speed of flying on clouds.

The vajra, which descended from the sky, crashed onto the Five Elements Divine Mountain, scattering a large amount of soil and rocks. However, the mountain remained unmoved, while the vajra was knocked away by the force of the recoil.

With a thought, the five spiritual treasures were summoned from his dantian. Amidst the roars of dragons and tigers, they quickly shone and formed a defensive domain, as if Ji An had donned a five-colored robe.

He released his nascent soul form and, with the help of the rising tide of the bright moon, finally escaped the area shrouded in Buddhist light. Then, he immediately made a hand seal to release the hardness of metal and stone.

The enemy is very powerful; judging from the pressure, they have reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is comparable to Kong Wen, if not as powerful.

Jingyue was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that the enemy's flying escape technique could actually pass through the Buddha's light. The enemy who could do this must be of similar cultivation level to hers.

He steadily flew out of the Five Elements Divine Mountain of Buddha's Light. This spiritual treasure was extremely heavy, and his Buddha's Light was difficult to control.

Suddenly, a compassionate smile appeared on his face:

"You did indeed participate in the ambush of Zen Master Kongwen, and you even practiced the Immovable King Technique of my Buddhist school. Why don't you lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"

His words echoed in the air, full of seductive power, and the golden light around him shone even brighter, making him appear solemn and dignified.

Ji An felt an urge to convert to Buddhism, and the nascent soul in the Guanghan Palace suddenly shuddered, his state of mind returning to normal.

He was on high alert, having almost fallen for the bald monk's trick. If his Nascent Soul hadn't been powerful enough, he might have actually knelt down in worship.

He immediately activated a low-grade fourth-tier mind-stabilizing talisman and activated the Five Elements Divine Mountain:
"Why don't you lay down your butcher's knife, and I'll help you become a Buddha?"
