[Sword Tribulation: Not yet a beginner, 0/1]

'Finally, the unit is 1 Jing (京).'

Zhang Lingshan not only included the entire Sword Sect library in his panel, but also personally went to the Sword Sect's Tribulation River before finally comprehending this sword technique.

This sword technique is inferior to the Silent Blade.

Firstly, Zhang Lingshan was not skilled in swordsmanship to begin with.

Secondly, the Silent Blade was comprehended through the Holy Tower and the Silent Blade of the Blade Sect, making it extraordinary.

but.

Although it is not as good as the Silent Blade, it can be used in conjunction with the Yin-Yang Sword.

If Zhang Lingshan's guess is correct, the Yin-Yang Sword also belonged to a body-refining expert who perished in the upper realm, and its value is definitely even greater than that of the immortal artifact, the Hundred Lifetimes Blade.

In this way, it can be used as a trump card.

Add some points.

[Sword Tribulation: Beginner, 0/10 Kings]

[Energy Points: 0 Jing]

Zhang Lingshan actually had quite a few trillion energy points, but because they were too troublesome and too few, they were completely useless, so he simply stopped displaying them.

In short.

This trip to the Sword Sect has completely depleted my already limited energy points.

I need to quickly start saving up some more.

Otherwise, without enough energy points, if something unexpected happens, there will be no way to save your life.

However, before accumulating more energy points, Zhang Lingshan had not forgotten his other purpose in coming to the Sword Sect.

Immortal weapon!

Leaving the immortal sword that suppressed the Sword Sect's fortune here would be a waste.

Even the Sword Saint Ancestor couldn't use the immortal artifact, so Jian Wumei naturally couldn't possibly have the ability to use it.

Only Zhang Lingshan, who has cultivated the Dao Light Immortal Technique and the Golden Light Immortal Technique, is qualified to use them.

and so.

He didn't stand on ceremony at all and went straight to the location of the Sword Sect's immortal artifact.

This item was originally hidden behind the thatched hut of the Sword Saint Ancestor.

have to say.

The Sword Saint Ancestor truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest person in the world, the oldest monster among old monsters, and the most ancient genius.

This guy actually used his own sword intent to set up seven precious swords behind the thatched hut, suppressing the sword energy of the immortal weapon sword and using it as a supplement to his own sword intent.

No wonder the Sword Saint Ancestor's sword intent was extremely terrifying; it was a deadly move.

That's because his sword intent was entirely forged using a celestial weapon.

But for now.

'This thing is mine now, haha.'

Zhang Lingshan laughed loudly, casually rolled up his sleeve, and put the seven swords into his pouch. Then he stepped forward and entered the range of the immortal swords.

Wow.

The sky and the earth change color.

At that moment, a torrential downpour began, turning the entire landscape a stark white.

If you look closely, you'll find that this is not ordinary heavy rain, but rather a rain of arrows.

Crash.

The rain of swords fell upon Zhang Lingshan, instantly riddling his body with countless holes. A sharp pain almost made Zhang Lingshan cry out.

'Is it a mental attack?'

Zhang Lingshan was secretly alarmed.

With his current physical body, he is not afraid of any rain of swords; only attacks of divine sense are capable of harming him.

Fortunately.

Although his divine sense had not reached its peak, he still possessed a method of attacking with his divine sense.

Silent Blade!

Swish.

A transparent blade suddenly appeared in the air, instantly silencing the surroundings.

The rain of swords vanished in an instant.

In the entire world, only this one sword can suppress and annihilate everything.

However, a moment later, another rain of swords fell from the sky, more intense and more numerous than before.

Sword spikes even sprouted from the left, right, and underfoot.

Silent Blade!

Zhang Lingshan followed suit, continuing to use the Silent Blade to forcibly suppress the enemy.

But the celestial sword seemed unconvinced and continued to resist.

Repeat this several times.

at last.

The celestial sword conceded defeat, seemingly exhausted and powerless, and stopped, revealing its true form.

It was a small sword shaped like a raindrop.

Zhang Lingshan casually grabbed it, and it landed in his palm, eventually attaching to his index finger and forming a raindrop pattern.

'It's such a tiny magical artifact!'

Zhang Lingshan was secretly surprised.

Compared to the other immortal artifacts he possessed, this immortal sword was rather small.

However, its power is not diminished by its small size.

in contrast.

This item is an excellent treasure for surprise attacks.

'Falling Rain Sword.' An unremarkable name.

Zhang Lingshan accepted the sword and learned its name.

Better than the Hundred Generations Blade.

Zhang Lingshan made this assessment.

Interestingly, it was precisely because the Sword Sect's immortal weapon was inferior to the Hundred Lifetimes Blade that the Sword Saint Ancestor was able to surpass everyone and become the number one person in the world at that time.

the reason is simple.

The simpler and less sophisticated the immortal artifact, the more suitable it is for the people of the Nine Provinces Continent to comprehend and use.

The more advanced and complex the immortal artifact, the less likely the people of the Nine Provinces Continent are to use it.

Therefore, nothing is the strongest; what is suitable is the strongest.

What use is a treasure that cannot be used, even if it is the most precious treasure in the world?
It's like giving a three-year-old a giant hammer; he can't even swing it.

But if you give him a small dagger, he might accidentally stab someone to death.

This Rainfall Sword, that small dagger, fell into the hands of the Sword Saint Ancestor, a three-year-old child, and it just so happened to be effective.

"okay."

Zhang Lingshan looked at everyone and said, "Let's set off and return to Lingshan. Farewell, Sword Sect Master."

"Let's just say goodbye."

Jian Wumei cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and watched the group leave.

Some people silently shed tears, knowing that this farewell would be the last.

Jian Wumei chose to live and die with the Sword Sect, but all that was left for him was the Sword Sect's protective formation; nothing else remained.

All the treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixirs were looted by Zhang Lingshan's men.

However, there is still the River of Calamity left, which cannot be moved, allowing Jian Wumei to enter it and deal with the enemy.

but.

How long can one person, one sword, one formation, and one river hold out?

This is a doomed situation, a desperate situation, a last stand for the sect leader to protect his dignity.

Jian Wumei's choice to do this is worthy of respect.

Therefore, Zhang Lingshan did not stop people from pausing to pay their respects to Jian Wumei. After waiting for a moment, he led everyone to set off.

Back to Lingshan.

Zhang Lingshan had Pei Xingdou arrange a mountain peak for them, which was the Sword Dao Peak.

in this way.

The swordsmanship tradition of the Nine Provinces Continent was also shouldered by Lingshan, just as Zhang Lingshan stated in his Daoist sayings.

'Sword Sect, Saber Sect, Weapon Sect, Talisman Sect, Array Sect, Pill Sect, Ghost Sect, Demon Sect. Of the eight ancient sects, Sword, Saber, Array, and Pill are the strongest in my Lingshan Sect. Weapon, Talisman, Ghost, and Demon Sects, though they've yielded, I still have to go there personally. Putting everything else aside, I must obtain the Yin-Yang Talisman Water from the Talisman Sect. And while I'm at it, I'll see if they have the true copy of the Heavenly Talisman Treasure Record.' Zhang Lingshan pondered to himself.

Yin-Yang talisman water is the best ingredient for cooking Nine Nether Purple Rice.

My sworn sister Zhang Zixin said that to maximize the effect of the Nine Nether Purple Rice, we need to use Yin Yang Talisman Water and Fireless Heavenly Flame.

The Heavenly Flame Without Fire requires a Heavenly Furnace, which Zhang Lingshan already possesses, and it is kept on the Pill Dao Peak.

With Zhang Zixin guarding the area, they have already obtained the Fireless Heavenly Flame.

What's missing now is Yin-Yang Talisman Water.

This item is the Yin-Yang Talisman, a celestial artifact of the Talisman Sect, formed by drawing upon the rootless water of heaven and earth.

When Zhang Lingshan was not strong enough, he thought it would be extremely difficult to obtain this item.

But now, he could even choose to snatch the Yin-Yang Talisman directly.

What Yin-Yang Talisman Water? Can't you just take as much as you want?

but.

I know nothing about talismans, and I'm not even as good as I was with arrays back then.

The reason he was able to subdue the Xuan Tian Array Plate of the Array Gate was because he had perfected the Qian Yuan Dao Fa in advance, comprehended the Qian Yuan Array Dao, and greatly improved his array Dao level.

And now.

However, there was no technique that could greatly improve his talisman-based cultivation level.

By the way, the painting master Wu Chengxian.

This guy is an old master of talisman cultivation, so his techniques must be extraordinary. Copying his techniques might help me improve my own talisman cultivation level.

With that in mind, Zhang Lingshan didn't waste any words and immediately descended to Fudao Peak.

"Oh dear, the mountain lord has arrived! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."

Wu Chengxian was enjoying a massage from some female disciples when he saw Zhang Lingshan appear. He hurriedly got up, his face showing embarrassment.

"You old rascal."

Zhang Lingshan glanced at the female disciples, who quickly blushed and took their leave.

"Mountain Lord, it's a misunderstanding. I don't even have a physical body, so how could I give a massage? Actually, I was teaching them the Way of Talismans..."

Wu Chengxian quickly explained.

"okay."

Zhang Lingshan interrupted him, saying, "I made you the peak master of Fudao Peak, not so you could play around with the female disciples. If you abuse your power for personal gain, engage in petty tricks, or fail to properly train your disciples, don't blame me for being impolite."

Wu Chengxian quickly waved his hand: "No, not at all. With the sun and moon as a mirror and heaven and earth as a witness, I am truly serving our Lingshan."

"hehe."

Zhang Lingshan sneered, remaining noncommittal. Instead, he walked out of the room and loudly proclaimed, "All disciples of the Talisman Path, when receiving resources and cultivation techniques, simply prove your own talent. There is no need to curry favor with Wu Chengxian. Anyone who tries to gain benefits by currying favor with Wu Chengxian will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, he asked again, "Where is Daoist Tianhe?"

"My subordinate is here."

"You will be in charge of supervising Wu Chengxian. If he shows any favoritism, report it to me immediately. If he tries to cover it up, you know what I can do."

"Your subordinate would not dare. I will certainly supervise strictly and will never cover it up."

Master Tianhe hurriedly assured him.

"I'm innocent!" Wu Chengxian cried out. "Mountain Lord, I truly did not show favoritism..."

"Cut the nonsense."

Zhang Lingshan ignored him and simply tossed out a handful of divine dew, saying, "This can reshape the physical body. All the holy spirits that come out of the Holy Tower use this to reshape their physical bodies. Refine it quickly."

"What is this?"

Wu Chengxian asked with some curiosity and some hesitation.

Zhang Lingshan said, "This is flesh cut from my body. Countless people want to devour my flesh but cannot, and you're still not satisfied with it being given to you for free. If you don't want to refine it, then give it back to me."

"what?"

Wu Chengxian was taken aback, unsure whether Zhang Lingshan was telling the truth or not. But seeing Zhang Lingshan's impatient expression, he didn't dare to waste any more words and immediately began refining.

Half a day passed.

[Transformation Pen: Beginner, 0/10 MB]

'Damn it, it takes 1 Jing Energy Point to reach perfection!'

Zhang Lingshan was speechless.

He didn't have enough energy points, so he couldn't even see what special effects Wu Chengxian's Transformation Brush would have when it reached its peak.

I need to increase my energy points quickly.

Ghost Gate is a good place to go.

Inside, all the creatures are ghosts and demons that have cultivated themselves into spirits; one can refine them all by simply inhaling through one's nose.

"Master Tianhe, please continue to protect Wu Chengxian. I'm going out for a bit. Remind him not to wander off; I need to speak with him."

Zhang Lingshan gave a brief instruction and then immediately left Lingshan, flying towards the Ghost Gate.

Ghost Gate.

It is located in a secluded forest.

The outer perimeter of the secluded forest is all swamp, and it is surrounded by poisonous barriers. Not to mention that ordinary people cannot enter it, even a master of the Meridian Opening Realm can be poisoned to death if they are not careful.

and so.

This is a natural isolation zone.

Moreover, because the poison barrier is extremely potent, even if one were to fly over it, the poisonous gas would still enter the body.

Therefore, the surrounding area is almost a dead zone, and no fool would dare to come here to die.

As for those powerful individuals who know this is the location of the Ghost Gate, they would be even less likely to enter rashly.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Nobody wants to come to this godforsaken place unless they have a specific need.

The Ghost Gate, confident in its natural protection, did not set up any defenses around it, and did not even arrange for a single guard to stand watch.

But today.

Beyond the poisonous barrier of the swamp stood a large group of ghosts, the leader dressed in a crimson robe, standing quietly in place, occasionally glancing up as if waiting for someone.

at last.

A burly figure swept across the sky and plunged into the poisonous swamp.

But soon.

The figure flew back and landed in front of the man in the red robe, looking surprised.

"Ghost Gate Yin Hong greets the Lord of Mount Ling."

The man in the crimson robe, with utmost respect, led the ghosts to kneel down.

Zhang Lingshan asked in surprise, "You knew I was coming?"

Yin Hong said, "The Mountain Lord is the nemesis of my Ghost Gate. I can sense even the slightest bit of killing intent from him. That's why I've come to apologize. I don't know where I offended the Mountain Lord. Please have mercy and forgive us."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Lingshan felt embarrassed to swallow him whole.

You can't exactly say that you didn't offend me, but that I just needed energy points and came to devour you.

correct.

Zhang Lingshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

When I used the Resurrection Bridge to bring Zhao Huanyang and the others back to life, I was also able to absorb the yin energy from their bodies.

If that's the case, why not use the same trick again? This would both save Yin Hong and the others' lives and turn them into an asset.

You can also get energy points.

That's perfect!

"Actually, I came here to give you an opportunity."

Zhang Lingshan said, "I have a method that can help you all return to life. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Resurrection?"

Yin Hong was taken aback: "How can I be brought back to life?"

In fact, she had no interest in returning to life. All her skills were based on the ghost path, and she had even condensed an extremely powerful ghost path avatar.

If all these things are lost after returning to life, and one's strength is greatly reduced, what is the point of returning to life?

and.

The path of ghosts cultivates the spirit, a method that specializes in attacking the divine consciousness.

After returning to life and having a physical body, one has to devote energy to protecting that body, which is no longer the path of the ghost.

As the leader of the Ghost Gate and a top-tier genius who carries on the legacy of the Ghost Path, she is unwilling to abandon all her life's learning just for the sake of returning to life.

"Let someone give it a try."

As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he casually grabbed at the creature, using his own vital energy to crush and devour its yin energy, while simultaneously applying divine dew to reshape its physical body. (End of Chapter)
