Free Web NovelChapter 404: Chapter 213: Lord of the 10-Direction Monasteries, Suppressing a True Immortal with the Flip of a Hand
Cang Mang Domain, Yun Cang Prefecture, Zhushan County.
In a ruined temple on a barren mountain.
Wang Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, silently contemplating his current state.
’Right now, although my Grotto Heaven has yet to be activated, I can still use a portion of the various Great Daos. If it really comes to a fight, no Cultivator beneath the Pseudo-Immortal realm should be my opponent.’
Wang Xiao discovered that as his cultivation steadily deepened, he finally no longer had to start his training from scratch after Crossing Worlds.
For the Great Dao resides in the mind; once comprehended, it is comprehended!
It has little to do with the physical body or the Divine Soul.
Of course.
However, to manifest the Great Dao as his own Divine Techniques, he still needed to rely on his physical body and Divine Soul.
At the moment, Wang Xiao could only rely on his subtle perception of the Great Dao to borrow some of its power.
He was unable to transform the Great Dao into Divine Techniques.
Therefore.
His top priority was still to restore the strength of his physical body and Divine Soul as quickly as possible!
’By my calculations, Yun Yin and Xuan Qing should be arriving any moment now!’
Wang Xiao gazed out beyond the barren mountain.
With his current strength, the Great Dao he could wield could only envelop the barren mountain at best.
Therefore.
Wang Xiao needed Yun Yin and Xuan Qing to lure all the evil spirits hidden throughout Zhushan County to this barren mountain.
Then.
He would use the Great Dao to imprison and refine these evil spirits, converting them into fuel to increase his own strength.
As for how to lure these evil spirits, the method was simple.
Wang Xiao had used the Talisman Painting technique from Yun Yin’s Cyan Cloud Temple to create Talismans imbued with the aura of the Death Great Dao.
He then had the duo carry the talismans on their person.
The Death Great Dao is the very source of all yin energy.
It possessed a natural attraction for evil spirits!
Once these evil spirits sensed it, they would naturally pursue Yun Yin and Xuan Qing relentlessly.
At this moment.
「Outside the barren mountain.」
SWOOSH!
Yun Yin and Xuan Qing’s feet flew as they raced towards the barren mountain, moving over the rough terrain as if it were flat ground.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—
A sinister wind billowed behind the two of them.
Masses of black whirlwinds blotted out the sky, surging toward the duo.
Among them were even a few masses of sinister wind whose power was no less than that of yesterday’s Evil King!
"Master, we’ve attracted so many evil spirits... can that Elder Wang really handle all of them?!"
Xuan Qing looked apprehensive. He glanced back at the dense horde of evil spirits and shuddered in fright.
If these evil spirits were to catch them, they would likely be sucked dry in an instant.
"An elder who can reincarnate and cultivate anew must have extraordinary methods. We just have to lead them to the barren mountain quickly so he can make his move!"
Yun Yin didn’t offer much of an explanation.
The reason he was helping Wang Xiao so fervently was not, as he had claimed, purely out of admiration for Wang Xiao’s spirit in eradicating evil spirits and paving a path for all living beings.
Rather, he wanted to use this opportunity to latch onto someone as powerful as Wang Xiao!
Currently, he and Xuan Qing were the only two members left in their Cyan Cloud Temple.
His own Talent for cultivation was lacking, so all of his hopes rested on Xuan Qing.
If Xuan Qing couldn’t become a True Immortal within a hundred years, their Cyan Cloud Temple would be kicked out of the Ten Directions Jungle.
At that point, they would lose even the right to pass on their teachings.
The Cyan Cloud Temple would thus face extinction.
If he could get in the good graces of this reincarnated elder, perhaps the Cyan Cloud Temple could be restored.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Yun Yin and Xuan Qing had already led the swarm of evil spirits behind them into the barren mountain.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—
An endless, sinister wind instantly swept across the entire mountain, causing every living creature within to tremble, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Seeing that all the evil spirits had entered the barren mountain,
Yun Yin couldn’t help but cry out, "Elder, you can act now!"
In that instant,
He felt a strange fluctuation wash over him.
Immediately after,
It was as if the surrounding Time and Space had frozen solid!
Even particles of dust were frozen in place, no longer drifting.
The evil spirits behind them, though clearly not far, suddenly seemed to be separated by an infinite expanse of time and space.
The next moment,
SHHHH—
A sound like flowing water could be heard.
All the evil spirits began to swirl unceasingly, forming a vortex of sinister wind!
The vortex of sinister wind lifted from the ground and transformed into a tornado that shot toward the sky.
The tornado then reversed its flow, pouring downward and vanishing into the distant ruined temple like a clay ox sinking into the sea, leaving no trace behind.
In the blink of an eye, the entire barren mountain returned to its previous tranquility.
"I-it’s over just like that?!"
Xuan Qing rubbed his eyes, finding the whole scene utterly unbelievable.
After all, among the evil spirits they had attracted were several at the Ninth Layer of Dao Entry.
Spirits of that level could occupy a territory and become an Earth God, or even be enshrined by Entering the Hall and enjoy the Incense offerings of the common people!
And yet, they had vanished without a trace, unable to put up the slightest resistance.
In his entire life, it was the first time he had ever witnessed such a powerful technique.
"This Elder Wang is, in all likelihood, a reincarnated Saint. We’re talking about a being who can practice Dream Traveling in the Void and control Heaven and Earth."
A hint of excitement appeared on Yun Yin’s face.
He knew that for the two of them, master and disciple, this was a heaven-sent opportunity!
A Saint is a being on the same level as a Daoist Lord from the Thirty-Six Daoist Palaces.
Ordinarily, they likely wouldn’t have the chance to meet such a being in their entire lifetimes!
Just a few casual words of guidance from such a grand figure would be enough for them to benefit for the rest of their lives!
"A Saint..."
Xuan Qing’s mouth fell slightly ajar.
He never imagined that the infant he and his master had randomly found by the side of the road would have such an astonishing background!
"Xuan Qing, go and pay your respects to the elder in a moment. See if you can become his disciple. You are exceptionally talented. If you have the guidance of a Saint, you are certain to soar to incredible heights in the future!" Yun Yin couldn’t help but say.
