Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

"roll!"

Zhang Lingshan let out a sharp shout, and a gray-white light circle shot out, instantly repelling the seven-colored ripples. He then rushed forward, pouncing towards the source of the aged voice.

but.

The source of that ancient voice had no physical form; it simply vanished into the walls of the Holy Tower, disappearing without a trace.

Zhang Lingshan originally intended to use the Death Wheel to absorb him, but failed. He then said, "Di Li, first tell me who this old man is and where he went."

Di Li said, "After I arrived at the Holy Tower, my physical body was shattered by the pressure. It was this person who transformed me into a part of the Holy Tower. This person is known as the Holy Elder. He is responsible for transforming most of the beings in the Holy Tower. He seems to be integrated with the Holy Tower, like the spirit of the Holy Tower. He can hide inside the walls or floors."

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan nodded: "That means everything in the Holy Tower is caused by this person. As long as we eliminate him, we can take the Holy Tower for ourselves."

Di Li shook his head: "That's not the case. He just stayed there longer. He's not the master of the Holy Tower. On the contrary, he's been assimilated by the Holy Tower and is its slave."

"The Holy Tower is a top-tier immortal artifact, created to connect the upper and lower realms."

"The reason why we cannot ascend now is because there is a problem at the top of the Holy Tower."

"But because the pressure at the top is too great, people cannot enter the top and cannot make repairs, so the status quo has been maintained, which has prevented the Nine Provinces Continent from ascending."

Di Li sighed and said, "If someone could enter the top floor and repair the Holy Tower, the passage between the upper and lower realms could be reopened. However, the chances are slim. Moreover, this person must possess the skills of weapon crafting; otherwise, even if they get up there, they will not be able to repair the Holy Tower."

The implication.

Although Zhang Lingshan is strong, he can steadily step into the thirtieth level and will have the opportunity to step into the thirty-third level in the future.

but.

He has no skill in weapon crafting, so reaching the thirty-third level is useless.

"So there was something wrong with the Holy Tower that prevented it from ascending. I thought the legend was just a myth."

Zhang Lingshan then asked, "Is this the secret of the Holy Tower you were talking about?"

Di Li said, "No, that's not the secret I'm talking about. The secret I'm talking about is the inheritance within the Holy Tower, known as the method to become a saint. As long as you comprehend this method, you will surely become a saint. Moreover, you will become a saint using your most proficient ability. For example, Mountain Lord, with your strong physical body, you can become a saint through your physical body."

"Oh?"

Zhang Lingshan immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it."

Di Li said, "Mountain Lord, I beg you to grant me the method of the Silent Blade, only then can I reveal to you the method of becoming a saint."

Zhang Lingshan said, "I can teach you the Silent Blade Technique, but according to what you said, besides that Holy Elder, there are many others spying on us in this Holy Tower. If I teach you the Silent Blade Technique and someone else learns it, wouldn't I be at a great disadvantage?"

"This……"

Di Li knew that Zhang Lingshan was right, and couldn't help but show an expression of not knowing what to do.

But then Zhang Lingshan said, "I have a plan that they can't hear."

"What's the plan?"

Emperor Li asked excitedly.

Zhang Lingshan said, "Once we leave the Holy Tower, I will teach you the Silent Blade Technique, then we won't have to worry about being overheard, right?"

Upon hearing this, Di Li's face showed disappointment, and he sighed, "Mountain Lord, you may not know this, but we have been transformed into Holy Spirits by the Holy Elder and become part of the Holy Tower. We cannot leave the Holy Tower at all. Even if the rules of heaven and earth of the Nine Provinces Continent enter a period of decline, we cannot leave freely and must rely on the bodies bestowed by the Holy Elder."

"Where is the body? Let me see it," Zhang Lingshan asked.

After entering the Holy Tower, he carefully examined each floor but found no physical remains.

Di Li said, “It’s on the thirty-third floor. Although the Holy Elder cannot control the pressure of each floor, these bodies are made up of fragments of flesh that have been crushed into dust, so they are not affected by the pressure and can be placed on the thirty-third floor. The bodies will only be released when the Holy Elder sends us out on business. The lifespan of these bodies is limited, so we must return within a month after we go out, otherwise we will also be crushed into dust along with the bodies.”

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan nodded and said, "You say you call yourselves Holy Spirits here, but I feel you should be called Holy Slaves. Pure slaves. Why don't you just commit suicide?"

Di Li remained silent for a moment, then said, "I still wanted to know the method of the Silent Blade, which is why I persisted until now. But today, I am prepared to die. As for what the others are persisting in, I have no idea."

"is it?"

Zhang Lingshan sneered inwardly.

He did not believe Emperor Li's account.

That holy old man can transform them into holy spirits; he must have a way of controlling them.

That's the case.

If that old saint had just one thought, Emperor Li would surely die; how could he possibly have the chance to waste time talking nonsense with me here?

This can be seen.

The words that Di Li spoke were all permitted to him by the Holy Elder.

There must be some truth and some falsehood in what he said, and Zhang Lingshan had no way of distinguishing between them, so he would not easily believe what he said.

Seeing Zhang Lingshan's cold smile, Di Li felt a little flustered and hurriedly bowed again, saying, "Every word I have said is true. I beg the Mountain Master to teach me the Silent Blade Technique, and I will surely tell you the method to become a saint."

Zhang Lingshan said, "Passing on the Silent Blade Technique to you is no problem. How about this, I'll take out two blank jade slips. I'll inscribe the Silent Blade Technique into one, and you can inscribe the Sainthood Technique into the other. We can exchange them, how about that?"

Emperor Li was overjoyed: "Great idea! We'll do whatever the mountain lord says."

"Ah."

Zhang Lingshan nodded, took out two jade slips, and handed one to Di Li.

After a while.

The two exchanged jade slips.

To avoid being ambushed, Zhang Lingshan released a portion of his divine sense to examine the jade slip.

I saw.

It actually contained the so-called method for achieving sainthood.

Very simple.

According to the jade slip of Emperor Li, there are patterns that are invisible to the naked eye engraved on the walls of each floor of this sacred tower.

However, as long as you keep touching it with your divine sense, you can feel out these patterns, just like the blind men touching an elephant.

Combining these patterns to form a complete elephant is the way to achieve sainthood.

Because everyone's spiritual perception ability is different, and their individual cultivation attributes are also different, the patterns they can touch will also be different.

It's as if the Holy Tower can reveal different patterns and characteristics based on an individual's realm, cultivation, and ability.

Thus, by teaching according to aptitude and tailoring instruction to individual needs, each person can discover their own unique path to enlightenment.

'Is this true?'

Although Zhang Lingshan had his doubts, he had to admit that he was somewhat tempted.

no matter who.

After reading the explanation in this jade slip, I'm sure everyone would want to give it a try.

Every cultivator, especially one at Zhang Lingshan's level, desires higher-level cultivation techniques; no one is an exception.

And now, this jade slip tells them about this channel to obtain higher cultivation techniques.

Tell me, who could remain unmoved?

Even the most conservative person would probably want to give it a try.

'The first floor is relatively the safest; should we try it here?'

Zhang Lingshan was a rather conservative and cautious person, which led him to make such a thought.

but.

Before he could even put it into practice, he heard Di Li shout, "Mountain Lord! Your Silent Blade Technique is only half complete! The method for achieving sainthood that I gave you was completely transparent. You can't go back on your word!"

He roared angrily, extremely agitated.

Zhang Lingshan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Half of the Silent Blade Technique has already benefited you immensely. What more could you possibly want?"

"Do not!!"

Di Li roared, "It was supposed to be the Silent Blade Technique, how can you only give me half? Give me the whole thing at once! Ahhh!" With that roar, he transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at Zhang Lingshan's brow.

It seemed as if it wanted to crawl into Zhang Lingshan's mind and completely devour his Silent Blade Technique.

"hehe."

Zhang Lingshan smiled sarcastically, and gently pointed out with his right index finger, which landed precisely in the light and shadow.

It was as if his index finger had been waiting there all along, waiting for Di Li to walk right into the trap.

puff.

A drop of blood dripped from Zhang Lingshan's index finger, merging into the light and shadow.

Zhang Lingshan wanted to see if this drop of blood could create a body for Di Li.

With his current physical strength, it would not be difficult for him to reshape a body with a single drop of blood.

The only drawback is that a single drop of blood is too little, resulting in a body that is not strong enough.

but.

If what Di Li said is true, then the bodies they used were all made from fragments of flesh.

Therefore, the body formed from this drop of divine dew should be able to allow the Holy Spirit Di Li to live within it.

"what!"

Di Li let out a miserable howl, crying out, "It's so hot! Am I burning up? Damn it, Zhang Lingshan, you treacherous scoundrel! If you don't give me the complete Silent Blade Technique, I curse you to be devoured by the Silent Blade..."

He angrily cursed and yelled, while his body kept backing away.

Sudden.

With a thud, it hit the wall.

Di Li was taken aback, his expression incredulous. He turned around and looked at the wall, saying, "I... I can actually touch a wall?"

Logically speaking, he is merely a Holy Spirit, and should merge into the wall upon contact with it; how could he possibly encounter it?

But now we've encountered it.

Doesn't this mean...

Di Li slowly raised his hands, and sure enough, he saw solid hands. Overjoyed, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I have a physical body now! Hahaha, I have a physical body now!"

He danced with joy, so excited that he forgot where he was and even forgot Zhang Lingshan's existence.

Until Zhang Lingshan said calmly, "All you holy spirits have seen that with a single drop of my blood, I can reshape your bodies. So, come out and let me reshape your bodies, help you break free from your slavery, and leave the Holy Tower. The Nine Provinces are vast and open, and you can roam freely."

"A drop of blood can reshape the body."

"Incredible!"

"This is no worse than those shells formed from the fragments of flesh, and may even be stronger."

"So, after we obtain this physical body, we don't need to return within a month?"

“But if we use Zhang Lingshan’s blood to reshape our physical bodies, wouldn’t we be controlled by his blood? It wouldn’t be much better than being in the Holy Tower.”

"Wrong, wrong! Zhang Lingshan is recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent. Being controlled by his blood does not affect our freedom of movement in the Nine Provinces Continent. But now, we can only stay in the Holy Tower, never seeing the light of day."

"So, you've agreed to follow Zhang Lingshan?"

"You have betrayed the Holy Elder!"

"If it weren't for the Holy Elder's intervention, your soul would have long since vanished. You are ungrateful and dare to betray the Holy Elder; you deserve to die!"

"Elder, act quickly! Don't let these guys succeed! Restrain them!"

“Holy Elder, use the power of the Holy Tower to send Zhang Lingshan away. This man is so eloquent that he can even deceive the Heavenly Dao. If we let him stay here, more Holy Spirits will be deceived.”

All of a sudden.

Throughout the Holy Tower, sounds echoed from top to bottom.

Some holy spirits were tempted, wanting to receive the blessing of Zhang Lingshan's divine dew, just like Di Li.

Some Holy Spirits follow the Holy Spirit wholeheartedly, hoping that the Holy Spirit can take them to ascend to heaven in the future.

After all, having persisted with the Holy Elder for so many years, they trusted the Holy Elder's methods more than Zhang Lingshan, who had only recently emerged.

"Zhang Lingshan!"

The aged voice roared, "It was a great favor of mine, the Holy Elder, to allow you into the Holy Tower. You are ungrateful and dare to spread heresy. Get out of here at once!"

Boom!

The mountains shook and the earth trembled.

As if an earthquake had struck, the entire tower began to shake violently.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the walls and floors of the tower did not shake at all.

What's swaying is the air space here.

Then they saw Di Li, who was in this thirtieth level of space, begin to twist and turn, separating from top to bottom and cutting from side to side...

"Do not!!"

Di Li cried out in alarm: "Zhang Lingshan, no, Mountain Lord, save me! Save me!"

Swish.

Zhang Lingshan grabbed with his right hand, forcing out a drop of divine dew from the tips of each of his five fingers to stabilize Di Li's physical body.

then.

He retreated rapidly, ran down the floors, and rushed out of the Holy Tower at top speed.

Once outside the Holy Tower.

Zhang Lingshan then tossed Di Li to a distance and said, "Feel it, is there anything unusual about your body?"

Di Li was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "Nothing's wrong. Mountain Lord, nothing's wrong. I'm out, I've left the Holy Tower, and I haven't turned to ashes. Hahaha. Mountain Lord, you are my second parents!"

Bang bang bang.

He excitedly kowtowed, laughing as he did so, before finally breaking into wailing.

No one knows how desperate they felt after being converted into the Holy Spirit.

To know.

The reason I willingly accepted the transformation was to obtain the Silent Blade Technique.

but.

Despite spending so many years in the Holy Tower, he had not grasped the essence of the Silent Blade Technique. Instead, he became a slave, the Holy Elder's blade, killing for him and even secretly harming his Blade Sect disciples.

This filled Emperor Li with immense regret.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have just died.

But once transformed into the Holy Spirit, one no longer has the ability to act independently, and even death becomes a luxury.

If I hadn't met Zhang Lingshan today, how could I have left alive?

It's more than just leaving alive.

He even obtained half of the Silent Blade Technique.

"Nothing unusual?"

With a thought, Zhang Lingshan sensed Di Li's physical body.

after all.

This was formed from his blood and was completely under his control. With a single thought, he could make Di Li self-destruct and die.

'It seems there really isn't a problem.'

Zhang Lingshan pondered for a moment, then said, "Di Li, now that we've left the Holy Tower, you can tell the truth. Is that so-called method for achieving sainthood real?" (End of Chapter)
