Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

In ancient and faded legends, the Flower-Scattering Taoist Wang Quan enjoyed traversing the underworld to slay all enemies.

Wang Quan: "I don't like walking around in the underworld!"

"The ghosts there have a peculiar style; I don't like them at all."

"And also, slay all enemies?"

"Hehe, I, the Flower-Scattering Taoist, am kind to people and do not like to kill."

"This history of struggle... is probably written incorrectly."

He twisted the pages of the book with both hands.

One twist—and it won't budge.

Twist it twice—but it still won't budge.

Forget it, I won't twist it anymore.

I'll tear this tattered book to shreds when I'm more powerful.

He continued looking down:

In a certain year, the Flower-Scattering Taoist obtained power within the unorthodox Taoist court.

Three great demons coveted his power and plotted to seize it.

The Taoist priest, upon learning of this, offered earnest advice.

[As a result, the three demons ignored the advice and instead revealed their true, ferocious nature, intending to devour the Taoist priest alive.]

Left with no other choice, the Taoist priest descended upon the unorthodox Taoist court and annihilated three great demons.

A demon named "Vertical Eye" roared to the heavens as it died, "Regret! Regret! Regret!"

[There was a demon named the Ninth Reincarnation King. As this fiend died and his soul dissipated, his thoughts raced a thousand times, ultimately leaving only a sigh.]

[A demon named Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, as he died, secretly sneered: "In a few days, this god-king will be a hero again."]

After slaying the three great demons, the Flower-Scattering Taoist gained profound insights and called upon all beings to explain the mysteries of slaying demons and eliminating evil.

Upon hearing this, all beings were moved to tears and bowed repeatedly in gratitude; after a year, all beings soared into the heavens.

The regret of the Vertical Eye, the sigh of the Ninth Wheel King, and the resentment of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva intertwine to create the legendary "beacon fire."

Wang Quan was stunned.

Before he could react, three-colored light appeared on the "Struggle History of the Flower-Scattering Taoist".

The light flowed and intertwined to form a scroll.

Wang Quan looked at it and saw the words "wolf smoke" written on it.

"interesting!"

A book that fell from lowly evil actually condensed into a scroll after he used the [Dao Court] to kill three top-level beings.

Moreover, this scroll is actually a magical artifact.

call!call!call!

He sprayed streams of magical power onto the [Wolf Smoke] diagram, quickly imprinting his own aura onto it, and mastering the mysteries of this [Wolf Smoke] diagram.

It turns out that this scroll of "Wolf Smoke" is a first-tier magic weapon.

One of the minor effects of this magical artifact is that, when combined with smoke-based spells and concealed within the spell, it can suddenly unleash its power to annihilate all enemies.

Its greatest function is to cultivate rebels.

A level one [Smoke Beacon] diagram can train six rebel armies.

The 12th level can train 72 rebel armies.

After these rebels are annihilated, they will be absorbed by the [Smoke Beacon], turning into smoke and dust, which will be hidden within the array.

When facing a master in the future, throw out the [Smoke Chart] to release the smoke and dust, forming various military formations and other mysterious things.

This magical artifact is insignificant compared to the [Celestial Patrol Artifact] and the [Drowning Dao Court].

However, this was the first magical artifact he obtained, one that could be activated without any authorization.

"With this magic weapon, I can gain a firm foothold in the far west and the far north."

"However, to fully unleash the power of the first-tier [Smoke Beacon] diagram, it is still necessary to accommodate six rebel armies."

"The rebels in the far north are hard to find, but in the underworld corresponding to the far west, there are a lot of rebels."

"To complete the [Smoke of War] map, it seems we still need to return to the far west."

"I've been stuck here for a few months, so it's time to go back to avoid people getting restless and something unexpected happening."

The "Smoke of War" image was, after all, the first true magic weapon belonging to the royal power.

He was eager to perfect this magical artifact.

He released seventy-two trails of smoke and dust to first roll up the [Wolf Smoke] diagram and hide it inside, thus amplifying the power of the [Seventy-two Trails of Smoke and Dust].

Then, he went to find Ying Jiaren.

At this moment, Ying Jiaren was talking to a powerful cultivator with extraordinary aura, and both of them were quite excited.

From a distance, Wang Quan could see that extraordinary cultivator pointing at Ying Jiaren, gesturing wildly, and chattering excitedly as he spoke.

Upon seeing this, Wang Quan immediately frowned.

He snorted and patted the back of his head. Seventy-two streams of dust, carrying the [Wolf Smoke] diagram, flowed quietly, transforming into auspicious clouds that carried him straight towards the great cultivator.

When the great cultivator noticed someone rushing towards him, he immediately frowned, feeling displeased.

He glanced at the approaching person and secretly cast a spell, preparing to teach the other party a small lesson.

However, upon discovering that the visitor was Wang Quan, he was first stunned, then turned pale and hurriedly opened his mouth to spit out a burst of fire.

"Ying Jiaren, you should stay away from Wang Quan!"

"This guy has hysteria, and all the cultivators in Stone City have hysteria."

"He's extremely dangerous, stay away from him."

I'll go first.

"Remember to consider what I'm saying. It's good for you. It's your only chance to change your destiny and make a name for yourself in history."

boom!

The flames exploded, instantly engulfing the great cultivator.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the great cultivator vanished without a trace.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Wang Quan roared, standing beside the beautiful woman, and asked, "What's that great cultivator's name?"

Did he scold you?

Do you remember what he looked like?

Ying Jiaren shook her head: "I don't know his name, and I don't remember what he looks like now."

"He didn't scold me, but just gave me some profound advice, hoping that I could go to other cities, build some structures, and connect with the underworld."

Wang Quan frowned: "This should be either a high-ranking cultivator from the Drowning Academy or from headquarters."

"These guys are used to being high and mighty, and they talk out of touch with reality."

"They're all bad people, don't listen to them."

Pfft!

The usually aloof Ying Jiaren smiled for once: "He also said you weren't a good person."

"They say you have hysteria, that the whole Stone City has hysteria."

"You're telling me not to have any contact with you."

Wang Quan.........shocked and furious:

"Me, suffering from hysteria?"

"How is this possible?"

"Everyone in the world can be abnormal, everyone can suffer from hysteria, but I am not."

Ying Jiaren nodded: "Yes, I believe you won't."

"Let's go and study the Taoist scriptures."

"Also, explain to me more about how to connect the real world with the underworld."

Wang Quan nodded: "Okay!"

"Let's study the Taoist scriptures for another month."

Ying Jiaren blinked: "Mmm!"

The two went to the First Legion Commander's boudoir and earnestly studied the Taoist scriptures.

During this period, Wang Quan devoted most of his energy to the "Ghostly Talk on the Transformation of Mountains and Rivers".

He has now analyzed thirty-six diary entries in this Taoist scripture.

It records thirty-six kinds of ghosts and monsters, including the Great Heavenly Ghost, the Lesser Heavenly Ghost, the Fire Heavenly Ghost, and the Earth Heavenly Ghost.

These ghosts and monsters are more terrifying than gods and spirits.

Many diary entries explicitly mention that some strange ghosts feed on spirits and deities.

Although this Taoist scripture does not record fundamental methods or special spells.

However, after reading the thirty-six pieces of the diary, Wang Quan felt that it was like reading food reviews or travelogues, and he had a unique understanding of them.

A month or so later, he pushed Ying Jiaren away: "I'm preparing to return to the far west."

"I want......"

Ying Jiaren used the [Yu Meiren] spell to shut him up: "You need to study the Daoist scriptures, improve your foundation and inner strength, and then try to break through to the fifth rank of Daoist scripture."

"Come, let's continue our cultivation!"

Royal power........
