Chapter 768 – Jinxu

One of the most obvious features of the advancement of the Adept Realm Cultivator to the Taoist Realm was the formation of the primordial spirit after the soul transformation.

However, the primordial spirit of a Taoist cultivator, before being struck by lightning tribulation and becoming a Taoist Huang Ting, was extremely weak. If it was exposed to the outside world, he would not have much power to protect himself, and with Yang Junshan’s cultivation, he could completely kill him.

But this time, it was clear that Yang Junshan had fallen intrap due to his greed. Lu Xuanping’s primordial spirit was concealed within the jade pendant, and the moment Yang Junshan touched the jade pendant, his primordial spirit immediately rushed into his dantian.

Here, under normal circumstances, the consciousness that Yang Junshan had just soul transformed was not a match for the Immortal Soul stage Daoist Lu Xuanping, but the strength of Yang Junshan’s cultivation was also far beyond his expectations. Furthermore, when he was attempting to obliterate Yang Junshan’s soul, he had also spied on some of Yang Junshan’s personal secrets.

He had mastered four Precious Techniques and Divine Powers s, and even inherited a complete Dao Techniques and Divine Powers!

How is this possible? How can a child of a small family have such a complete inheritance? Lu Xuanping felt like he had become the child of destiny.

Hm? There were even cultivation techniques that were at least Dao level?

He was actually a grandmaster array master!

Oh, and he also trained in a secret technique to train his Spiritual Awareness!

No wonder it was so hard to deal with. Even with his Primordial Spirit, he was unable to destroy his opponent’s soul. It could be seen how tough his opponent’s soul was, and the soul of a formation master was always hard to deal with.

However, this is your limit. A cultivator who has yet to become a Daoist will never know the true difference between the soul and the primordial spirit!

Eh, this brat has more secrets on him, daoyin apparatus s, this kid actually has something that looks like a daoyin apparatus on him!

What? Wait, it actually refined it! Ah, no good! There’s a spirit! Hurry up and retreat, ah —

A miserable howl that only Yang Junshan himself could hear resounded above his dantian. A pangolin smacked its lips, its long and thin pink tongue nimbly licked its lips and said: “A primordial spirit that has lost the protection of its flesh, is too weak, too weak, it’s actually not enough to fill the gaps between its teeth!”

Then, the pangolin looked down at the mountain tiger sitting on the hill holding its belly and said: “This stupid cat dares to fight with me over everything. It doesn’t even know its own rank, but this time, this guy snatched a piece of it and swallowed it into his stomach. Will there really be any accident?”

Thinking about this, the Pangolin looked around with a bit of guilt, thinking: “Forget it, since we saved your life this time, even if that stupid cat is in trouble, it can’t be blamed on us. Who told it to eat whatever it wanted?”

In the secret path, Yang Junshan who was lying upright on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with the lingering fear of death, his pale white face looked as though he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

Yang Junshan suddenly bent over and sat up, he raised his hand and looked at the broken jade in his palm, and was about to throw it far away, but unexpectedly, the moment he clenched his fist, a majestic earth elemental energy suddenly rushed into his Dantian from his palm.

This frightened Yang Junshan so much that he thought that he would be possessed again, but he suddenly realised that this earth elemental energy, other than urging the Nine-coloured Mantra to circulate faster and turn into his own essence, was not harmful at all.

And what was even more terrifying was that the Earth Elemental Energy that was circulating in his body, Yang Junshan suddenly realised that this effect could not compare to the effects of his three days of cultivation.

Just what was this thing?

Yang Junshan looked at his opened palm. After blowing away the shattered pieces of jade, what remained was only a piece of black soil the size of his pinky.

But just this small piece of dirt which contained the Earth Elemental Source Energy, was enough to make Yang Junshan feel terrified.

It wareasure that was even more formidable than the Earth Core Source Stone that Yang Junshan had obtained before. Amongst all the treasures that Yang Junshan had encountered, the one that could be compared to the shock that the dao stone gave Yang Junshan initially seemed to be only the size of a pinky.

What was unfortunate was that Yang Junshan could not recognize what exactly this small piece of black soil was.

However, once one thought about how Daoist Lu Xuanping had chosen this small piece of soil as a Legendary item to hide his primordial spirit when his body was being destroyed, it was enough to prove that this item was not ordinary.

Thinking about it, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan should be able to recognize this treasure, but with its rarity, even Dao Realm cultivators would view it areasure, Yang Junshan was not stupid enough to take it out and ask about its origins.

Yang Junshan did not dare to play around with the strange item he had just obtained. Instead, he took ouelatively good Spirit Sealing Box from his storage ring and placed this small piece of black dirt inside. He did not even have the time to forcefully open the storage treasure that he had previously obtained from Daoist Lu Xuanping.

But now, Yang Junshan had realised that he had indeed been blinded by greed previously. If that Lu Xuanping really had the heart to entrust his mantle to him, how would he possibly give his own storage treasure directly to Yang Junshan, instead, he should first erase the soul imprint on the treasure, otherwise, if Yang Junshan had forcefully opened the storage treasure, he would have had to lose at least half of its contents. One must know that this was a Taoist ancestor’s storage treasure, and Yang Junshan had truly lost his mind at that time.

In front of him was the last intersection of the ancient secret path. Other than after this intersection, he would have to walk a distance away from the ancient secret path, and would be unsure of what kind of existence he would encounter in the everlasting dense forest at that time. Right now, he could only resign himself to fate, but after seeing the true high order cultivator of the cultivation world, he was even more eager to increase his own strength.

Although he did not have time to open one of the Daoist’s storage treasures, Yang Junshan felt an itch in his heart. The photo-inheritance bead that Daoist Lu Xuanping had previously handed over to him in order to get a new disciple was actually something genuine, and after Yang Junshan did not encounter any mishaps at the last intersection, he used his spiritual consciousness to look through the records of the inheritance pearl.

Putting aside the high-grade Treasure Inheritance Method that Lu Xuanping cultivated, the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers that was used as an innate ability caused Yang Junshan’s heart to beat wildly. The Precious Techniques and Divine Powers was “Stabilized like Metal Soup”, and it was ranked 74th on the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking, which was even more powerful than the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers “Immovable Mountains”.

As everyone knew, in the world of cultivation, in terms of defensive abilities, the Earth Branch was one of the most outstanding ones. In fact, among all of the abilities of the Earth Branch, almost half of them were defensive abilities.

But what was even more strange was that the rise of the Yang family, which had Yang Junshan at its core, carried out a few of the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers s. Other than the harder to learn the magnetic golden light technique, no matter if it was the Earthshaking Mountain Art, the Shocking Stone Fist, or even the Heaven Shattering Earth Seals, they were all absolute offensive abilities. Among the Yang family, the Mountain Shrouding Sword Art, which was an extension of the Earth Shaking Secret Art, was actually an unquestionable defensive ability!

The Madame Yang was now considered a famous sect in the Yuzhou, and as a cultivator of the Earth Branch, there was only one protective divine ability used to support their entrance, moreover it was only a spiritual technique, it would be a joke if word of it were to spread!

It wasn’t that Yang Junshan had not harbored thoughts of using the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Immovable Mountain Technique, in fact, Yang Junshan himself had already grasped the inheritance of the Immovable Mountain Spirit Formation. However, after fighting with Zhang Yueming in the middle of the Buried Sky Ruins, Yang Junshan was not very interested in this ability, the reason was simple, the defensive effect of this ability was strong, but once it was used, it could only be used aarget that the opponent could not move.

naturally understood that being able to defend for a long time meant certain defeat, furthermore, ever since the rise of the Madame Yang, they had regarded their own Madame Yang ahorn in their side, and it was almost impossible for them to obtain the inheritance that was as unmoving as a mountain.

However, Yang Junshan had finally obtained a pure Earth Elemental Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, and this divine ability’s rank was even higher than the Immovable Mountains Art. Furthermore, it did not have the weakness of being like the latter, who could only use it aarget. Yang Junshan was certain that this divine ability was the most suitable for his own cultivation.

In the ranking of the sacred art, offensive divine abilities were naturally ranked higher than defensive divine abilities. Although the Immovable Mountains Art was only ranked 74th, Yang Junshan did not forget how Zhang Yueming had used the Immovable Mountains Art to defend against the higher ranked Yang Junshan.

The more Yang Junshan thought about it, the more excited he became. Although he was only playing around with Dao Ancestor Ziyuan on this trip to the everlasting dense forest, the truth was that just thinking about it now made his entire body tremble with excitement, and the only thing he needed to think about was how to escape from everlasting dense forest safely. And now, Yang Junshan seemed to have found out that his luck was on his side again, because he realized that the space around the ancient secret pathway had already started to tremble slightly.

The moment the ancient secret path disappeared, all the cultivators who were still stuck in it would be expelled, and at this time, the cultivators guarding the seven entrances outside the secret path would all leave, go out of the forest to fight and besiege the cultivators who were opposing them. At the very least, there would be some deals to be made, and this might be the chance for Yang Junshan to escape from the eyes of the numerous Great Divine Cultivator s.
