Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 799: Chapter 663: The Demonic Flower Blooms

"Five Thunders True Method?"

Shen Xuan heard the words, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam. His face was filled with shock and ecstatic joy.

This was a high-tier thunder technique recognized within the Daoist Sect, hailed as the "head of all methods."

With one’s own cultivation, to communicate with the pivotal machinery of heavens and thunder, one could summon celestial thunder and command lightning, slay demons, eliminate evil, break enchantments, cleanse impurities, and serve as the agent of heavenly punishment, with immense power.

The will of the Heavenly Dao often manifests as thunder tribulations.

For any thunder cultivator, mastering the Five Thunders True Method is a lifelong aspiration.

An extraordinary opportunity was laid out right in front of Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan displayed a look of being treated with unexpected favor.

"What virtue or ability does a mere junior possess to be taught the Five Thunders True Method by a True Monarch? Such immense virtue and grace shall never be forgotten!"

Shen Xuan bowed down excitedly, seemingly in preparation for a grand courtesy.

However.

Just as he leaned forward, displaying humility and a jubilant expression.

"Clang!"

A poignant and sharp blade-song suddenly rang out without warning.

A blade light dark as ink shot out from the folds of Shen Xuan’s sleeves, fast as lightning.

On the blade, demonic light surged, blood patterns glimmered, emitting a destruction aura that gripped the heart.

It was precisely the Blood Transformation Divine Saber obtained from Hua Yanting.

This strike, without flourish, was as swift as lightning, pushing speed to the extreme.

The blade’s edge aimed directly at Carefree True Monarch’s throat.

Carefree True Monarch was slightly startled, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

He did not dodge, casually extending two fingers.

The movement appeared slow, but was actually faster than lightning.

"Ding."

A crisp sound of metal clashing.

The Blood Transformation Demon Saber’s light, fierce and violent like thunder, was lightly pinched by him with two fingers.

The blade trembled violently, emitting an unwilling humming sound.

The blood light dimmed swiftly, the fierce might completely restrained.

"Blood Transformation Demon Saber?"

The gaze of Carefree True Monarch fell on the blade, his voice turning cold.

The former gentleness and kindness vanished, leaving only icy scrutiny.

"Han Li, are you a demon cultivator?"

His reply was a sudden burst of azure green light.

Eighty-one chilling talismans shot forth, instantly forming a profound formation diagram in the air.

Each premium Ice Spirit Flying Sword Talisman bore a power comparable to a Middle Stage True Pill True Master’s full strike.

"Swift!"

Shen Xuan muttered an incantation, fingers posed like a sword, pointing into the air.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The eighty-one talismans exploded simultaneously, transforming into eighty-one sharp little swords, instantly merging into one, forming an ice-cold Ice Spirit Flying Sword, carrying a penetrating and lethal intent, shooting towards Carefree True Monarch’s dantian.

This strike, with accumulated power, was capable of severely injuring a late-stage Golden Core True Master.

Carefree True Monarch’s eyes turned solemn.

With a flick of the dust whisk in his hand.

Spiritual light circulated.

Thousands of silver threads suddenly expanded and unfolded in front of him, instantly forming a silver shield.

"Boom!"

The Ice Spirit Flying Sword crashed violently into the silver shield, unleashing a series of relentless and intense booming sounds.

The frigid primordial profound ice spiritual power fiercely collided with the dust’s silver spiritual light, stirring up a terrifying spiritual power storm.

After several breaths.

The Ice Spirit Flying Sword completely shattered, scattering into sky-wide ice crystals.

The silver shield formed by the dust whisk was coated with a thick layer of frost on its surface.

Carefree True Monarch shook his wrist, channeling spiritual power.

The profound ice covering the silver shield fragmented inch by inch, cascading down.

The dust whisk’s silver threads waved, spiritual light glowing brightly again, restoring as before.

He raised his eyes, icy gaze fixed on Shen Xuan, who had retreated several dozen feet away.

A vast as sea, heavy as mountain True Monarch spiritual pressure crashed down without reservation.

The air solidified, the ground trembled.

Nascent Soul spiritual pressure, genuine!

"Ice Technique Golden Core! Han Li, who exactly are you? From which sect?"

Carefree True Monarch released his divine sense, locking onto Shen Xuan, intimidation and threats filling his gaze.

"If you don’t clarify and explain your origins, this humble Daoist shall have to eliminate demons and evil."

Shen Xuan straightened his spine, face no longer humble, eyes showing disdain.

"Merely a remnant soul. You really think you are Carefree True Monarch?"

Shen Xuan gripped a cold-iron staff, speaking coldly.

Previously, he had secluded himself in cultivation, gaining insights from the natural Dao Rhyme of wind, cloud, rain, and dew.

His understanding of life and growth became deeper.

Within the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique, Carefree True Monarch was nothing but a skeleton wrapped in a linen Daoist robe.

Although emitting a strong Nascent Soul True Monarch’s spiritual pressure.

Shen Xuan couldn’t sense any life aura from him.

Manifestly a remnant soul, attempting to possess the corpse of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

In the cultivation realm, tales of soul possession are common.

Some high tier cultivators unwilling to fall, possess promising low-tier cultivators to forcibly continue their lifespan.

However, soul possession defies the Heavenly harmony, posing immense risks, with many restrictions.

Core Formation realm cultivators attempting this face great dangers, with low chances of success.

Generally, upon reaching the Nascent Soul realm, soul power becomes significantly strong, increasing the chance of successful possession.

At this moment, Shen Xuan’s flesh body was exceedingly perfect.

His dual spirit root was excellent, superior bone structure, blood essence vigorous, life force robust, lifespan long.

Naturally, attracting the greed of the Daoist Palace’s remnant soul Nether Cultivator.

"A remarkable junior indeed, with some skill!"

Carefree True Monarch was momentarily stunned by Shen Xuan’s words, then his face darkened.

"This humble Daoist is indeed Carefree True Monarch! Just faced a small mishap during cultivation, damaging the flesh body."

"So, what?"

"This humble Daoist teaches you the Five Thunders True Method, and you lend your flesh body to me. Mutual benefit and exchange of needs."

Shen Xuan chuckled.

"Truly possessed, mind in chaos, deep in obsession. Still can’t see the situation clearly at this point?"

Carefree True Monarch appeared baffled.

"Junior, what do you mean?"
