Free Web NovelChapter 629: Chapter 348: Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique Reaches the Peak of Perfection! Divine Treasure Mountain! (Part 2)
They planned for the five of them to jointly employ Destiny Communication to locate the person who had killed the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva.
They could foresee the Karmic Force within their bodies continuously rising.
So they hoped that, after finding the one who had slain the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva, they would be able to gain some benefit.
...
And just before the Spirit Mountain Bodhisattvas cast Destiny Communication and discovered that the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva was already dead—
Su Que had also been cultivating in the mountain cave for a month.
Over this past month, his Karmic Force had been constantly consumed.
Finally, three days ago, he broke through the 7th Realm of the Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique.
Now, his Nine-Turn Celestial Demon Technique had reached Peak of the 8th Realm 3%.
And his Realm had also reached the Third Layer of the Realm of Creation.
After he reached the Third Layer of the Realm of Creation, his Sensing Power toward all things further increased.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, with just a stir of his Mind, turned into wind and blew toward him.
And just as he was breaking through, he suddenly felt as if he had formed some sort of resonance with this Snow Mountain.
This kind of resonance, he had experienced before.
Because he had obtained the memories of quite a few Cultivators, the sensations those Cultivators had experienced were equivalent to his having experienced them as well.
This was the resonance that allowed one to control a Magical Treasure.
In the Storage Bag of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva, there was a string of Human Bone Beads.
With a stir of thought, Su Que took out the Human Bone Beads.
The bones of the Human Bone Beads were all golden, emitting a resplendent Buddha’s Light, appearing extremely sacred.
Even though the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had died, within the Human Bone Beads there were still remnants of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva’s Divine Thought.
However, with just a sweep of his own Spirit, Su Que completely wiped out the remaining Divine Thought of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva.
Then, after imprinting his own Divine Thought brand, he could control this Magical Treasure at will.
As a Martial Arts Immortal, he actually very rarely used Magical Treasures.
The Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva was the same.
When Su Que controlled these Human Bone Beads, he could clearly sense the immense Buddha Power contained within this Magical Treasure.
Yet the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had not controlled this Magical Treasure in battle.
And from the memories of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva, he also knew that ever since this Magical Treasure had been refined by the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva, it had been used only a handful of times.
This Magical Treasure was more like something the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva used for bragging.
For the source of the skulls on the Human Bone Beads was the gods of the Celestial Court.
The Human Bone Beads would always be made up of nine human skulls.
These nine human skulls were the heads of Celestial Court gods that the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had twisted off during his battles with the Celestial Court.
From the memories of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva, Su Que learned that the strongest among these skulls belonged to a Celestial Court god whose cultivation was at the Seventh-Layer of the Realm of Creation.
This god, before ascending, had come from a Small World of mortals who mainly cultivated Techniques.
Therefore, along the path of Cultivation, this god had always emphasized Spirit while neglecting the Flesh.
Each time, he only cultivated his fleshly body to the point where it could just barely contain and draw out the power of his formidable Spirit, and then stopped.
Outwardly, he boasted that he had slain this Seventh-Layer of the Realm of Creation Celestial Court god in a head-on, one-on-one fight.
Yet this god’s cultivation was higher than his, and he was proficient in Techniques, carrying multiple Magical Treasures on him.
If the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had fought him head-on, chances were he would never have been able to get close to this god.
In truth, the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had used a sneak attack to kill this god.
The Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva was a formidable dual cultivator of the Flesh Body Dao and the Buddhist Dao.
If he got in close, then even if that god’s cultivation surpassed the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva by a minor Realm, he would still end up being killed.
It was just that the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had never spoken of this matter to the outside world.
And it was precisely because the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva had killed this god that Su Que had seen several fine Magical Treasures in the Storage Bag of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva.
The previous owner of those Magical Treasures had been that god.
Su Que withdrew his Mana and Divine Thought from the Human Bone Beads and then returned this Magical Treasure to the Storage Bag.
Afterward, he carefully savored the sensation of controlling a Magical Treasure.
This sensation was exactly the same as the feeling of resonance that had arisen between him and the Snow Mountain.
He felt that this Snow Mountain itself was also a Magical Treasure.
It was just that his Sensing Power had not been high enough before, so he had been unable to perceive this treasure.
After reaching the Third Layer of the Realm of Creation, both his Sensing Power and Spiritual Power had risen by a notch.
Thus he sensed the existence of this treasure on his person.
So Su Que placed his hand on the mountain wall.
He poured Mana and Spiritual Power into it.
At once, he truly gave rise to the feeling that he could control this Snow Mountain.
Immediately, he employed his Spiritual Power to drive a Divine Thought brand into the Snow Mountain.
Then he darted out of the Snow Mountain and stirred his Mind.
The Snow Mountain instantly shrank with a whoosh.
The large area originally occupied by the Snow Mountain suddenly appeared empty beneath the night sky.
With a shift of Su Que’s heart, the Snow Mountain turned into a streak of white light and flew toward his palm.
In accordance with Su Que’s will, the Snow Mountain shrank to the size of two palms and came to a halt upon his hand.
"This Snow Mountain truly is a Magical Treasure!"
Su Que was secretly delighted.
Originally, in order to evade the tracking of Spirit Mountain’s Destiny Communication, he had planned to leave this Snow Mountain—which could increase his cultivation speed—and head to a populous Immortal City where karmic lines were interwoven.
Now, this Snow Mountain had become his Magical Treasure.
As long as he released this Snow Mountain, the power upon the Snow Mountain would, through his Mind, shroud his body.
It would likewise increase his cultivation speed.
"It’s time to leave this place."
Su Que flipped his hand.
The Snow Mountain turned into a streak of white light and plunged into his Storage Bag.
Afterward, he looked toward a certain place beneath the night.
His Eye Power was excellent; even from very far away, he could still see a city dotted with flickering lights in the darkness.
That place was Xianming City.
It was a fine city.
It had a large population, and the cultivation of the Cultivators within was not low, able to form layers upon layers of intersecting karmic lines.
This had a pretty good interfering effect on Spirit Mountain’s Destiny Communication.
Moreover, Su Que had obtained the memories of quite a few Cultivators.
Those Cultivators had all lived in Xianming City for a period of time and were already quite familiar with the powers, shops, and so on within Xianming City.
When Su Que went there, he would not be totally unfamiliar with the place.
He would be able to better forge an identity and live on in Xianming City.
Thinking this, Su Que immediately stirred his heart and flew toward Xianming City.
Xianming City had restrictions.
Aside from people belonging to the City Lord of Xianming City, anyone else, upon reaching a distance of one li outside Xianming City, had to descend and proceed by land.
If a visitor did not descend, it would trigger the restrictions.
Blades of Sword Qi would strike toward those flying in the sky.
And the people of the City Lord, as well as the guards composed of Cultivators from within the city, would also attack those flying in the air.
As Su Que flew in the sky, he was both flying and casting his Disguise Skill, altering his appearance.
This time, he changed his formerly plain looks, making his features acquire a few more hints of Immortal bearing and Daoist grace.
In the Small World he came from, there was once a saying: "People depend on clothes, Buddhas depend on gold adornments."
Cultivators of the Upper Realm were no different.
After he made his appearance a bit more Immortal-like and Daoist, he would receive a certain amount of respect upon arriving in Xianming City.
Handling matters would also go more smoothly.
Furthermore, with that Immortal and Daoist bearing, anyone seeing him would, at first impression, take him to be a righteous Cultivator.
This would make others a bit less wary of him.
Very soon, Su Que saw the city walls of Xianming City towering beneath the night sky.
Su Que calculated the distance, and just as he was about to approach the one-li radius around Xianming City, he immediately descended.
He employed his Lightweight Skill and darted toward Xianming City.
The city gate of Xianming City was guarded by four Sword Cultivators.
The four Sword Cultivators all rested their hands on the Longswords at their belts, each with Evil Qi between his brows.
As Su Que passed by the city gate, he took four Gold Coins from his Storage Bag and handed them to one of the Sword Cultivators.
From the memories of the Cultivators, Su Que knew that the power backing Xianming City was the Celestial Sect.
This was the power that Emperor Jing of Liang, from his Small World, had joined after ascending to the Upper Realm.
The Celestial Sect was one of the three great powers of the Unclaimed Land.
Behind it were several dozen Immortal Cities under its control, and it held a certain minting authority.
The Celestial Gate Gold it minted was one of the currencies of the Unclaimed Land.
