My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 548: Laws of Ascension
"You have obtained: a Yuanci Sword Heart (rare), a copy of "Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Scripture" (legend), a copy of "Fragments of Prayer and Disaster Removal Technique" (rare), a broken arm of a Taoist master (legend), a map of the Sword Tower (common), a Yimu Armor Seal (rare), a Wangdi Seal (special), a corpse of the Yuanci God (rare), and a Vedic Wisteria Box (rare)."

Jiang Xinghuo opened the Sword Immortal's coffin, fumbled around in it, and found what was inside.

Strictly speaking, there aren't a lot of things inside the coffin.

But the quality is good enough. There are more than one legendary item materials alone, and the rest are of rare quality, which are extremely rare in the world.

Moreover, the only common item is the map of the City of Origin. Perhaps the value of this map exceeds that of all other items.

Jiang Xinghuo thought that this trip was not in vain. The Sword Immortal's Tomb was like a back garden to him, and he did not encounter any danger or obstacles.

However, he did not find the body of the Little Sword Immortal in the coffin, and he did not know whether the Little Sword Immortal did not leave his body behind, or whether he was not dead but left the mining city and went to other places? ?
Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while but couldn't come up with any clues, because there was no clue found at the scene that could prove whether the little sword fairy was alive or dead.

However, he guessed in his heart that the little sword fairy was most likely gone.

Otherwise, he would not have left behind the hidden mission "Sword Immortal's Last Wish" and asked the person who inherited his legacy to avenge him. He could have relied on his own abilities to get revenge.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo stopped thinking about those random things and started counting the things he found in the coffin.

“Magnetic Sword Heart (rare material). The Little Sword Immortal refined the essence of the magnetic ore vein and condensed a sword heart. After it is integrated with the magnetic flying sword, it can greatly enhance the spirituality of the magnetic flying sword.”

"Do you want to use this material item immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He thought this thing was for humans, but he didn't expect it was for flying swords. Then there was no need to hesitate, and he directly chose to use this prop.

"You chose to integrate the Yuanci Sword Heart into the flying sword."

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

"The fusion is complete."

"The level of your Yuanci Flying Sword has been increased by +7."

Five minutes later, a prompt message indicating that the fusion was successful came from the game.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text font that was flashing red light, and took the upgraded Yuanci Flying Sword into reality. The flying sword was flashing with a brilliant red light, and was connected to each other by Yuanci aura, as if it had its own life. Not only was it in tune with his mind, but it was also becoming increasingly smooth and harmonious to control, without the slightest bit of sluggishness.

"Beidou!"

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the flying sword with his mind and performed the Small Big Dipper Sword Sutra. Dozens of sword lights pierced through and quickly formed a map of the Big Dipper. The brilliant sword energy burst out like flames, ready to go in mid-air.

After experimenting with several variations of the sword technique, Jiang Xinghuo reluctantly put away the Yuanci Flying Sword and continued to count other things.

"The Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra (a legendary technique). The little swordsman observed the movement of the stars in the Zhoutian, and combined it with his own Yuanci Sword Sutra. The two combined to create a new technique that can attract the power of the stars and transform it into sword energy. It can also use the power of the stars to recover from the damage it has received, and it can also turn the normal magnetic field into chaos and disorder."

"Please note that only Taoist disciples can practice the Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra, which is in serious conflict with the inheritance of other Dharma lineages."

"However, since you have received the inheritance and protection of Daozu and mastered the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Scroll from Daozu's 81 incarnations, you can be exempted from the training conditions of Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra. You don't have to worry about different skills causing conflicts in your body."

"But if you want to teach this sword manual to others, then you must follow this rule, otherwise the practitioner will die due to the explosion of sword energy."

"Do you want to use this item to start practicing the Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. He would definitely not let go of this unique martial art that had no side effects.

"You have used the Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra."

"Learning, please wait..."

The game entered a semi-idle state, and Jiang Xinghuo felt his head shake and fell into a daze. A large number of specious sword-shaped images and texts flooded into the depths of his mind.

I don’t know how long it lasted.

Jiang Xinghuo was awakened from his stupor when a new message came from the game, telling him that he had successfully mastered the Zhou Tian Yuan Magnetic Sword Sutra.

Of course, this kind of mastery does not mean that he can now practice this sword technique to perfection. It's just that all the tricks of the method have appeared in his memory. It can be said that he has barely got the hang of it. However, he still needs to practice and polish it on his own in the future to fully master this technique.

This is a time-consuming and arduous process and cannot be achieved overnight. Moreover, the sophistication of the Zhoutian Yuanci Sword Sutra is far beyond that of the Xiaobeidou Sword Sutra. Even if you know the specific application methods, you still have to study hard and practice diligently before you can perform them yourself.

So far, Jiang Xinghuo's main skills, in addition to Thunder Method, Nine Death Cicada, and Dragon Raising Technique, also include the Zhoutian Yuan Magnetic Sword Sutra.

Any one of these four unique skills is enough for an ordinary person to practice for a lifetime. Jiang Xinghuo has now mastered all of them, and the time he spends is much more than that of an ordinary person.

Fortunately, the power of these spells is strong enough that even if he has not cultivated to the Mahayana realm, he can have enough power to protect himself.

Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the time again and was stunned for a moment, because the electronic clock on the wall showed that it was already around one o'clock in the morning.

He actually slept for more than an hour in a daze? ? But to his senses, it seemed like only a few minutes had passed, and he didn't realize that so much time had passed.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, looked at the text on the screen, and found that he had also been excluded from the Sword Immortal's Tomb.

It seems that the sword immortal's tomb can only be opened on the full moon night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but fortunately, I have taken away all the things inside, so even if I am excluded from the ancient tomb, it is not a loss.

Jiang Xinghuo was not in a hurry to go somewhere else, but was going to take a good inventory of tonight's harvest from beginning to end. He would sell what he should sell, learn what he should learn, and use what he should use. It would not be too late to consider opening a new map then.

"The fragment of the art of praying for blessings and warding off disasters (a rare art). This is the method used by Tai Sui God, one of the thirteen masters of Taoism, to achieve enlightenment. With one's own strength, one can call the wind and rain, pray for blessings and ward off disasters, and prolong one's life. Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them, this spell can be used to curse and kill others."

"After the Little Sword Immortal was cursed to death by Tai Sui God with this spell, he dragged his injured body to deduce this spell, and he actually deduced some of the incomplete contents. After using it, there is a 1% chance that you can spy on the opponent's flaws and weaknesses when facing Tai Sui God. At the same time, it can also delay the onset time after the spell, so there is a chance to find a solution."

"Be careful, this incomplete technique can only serve as a guide for you to deal with Tai Sui God and his disciples. If you practice it casually, you will easily fall into Tai Sui God's trap and be controlled by him at will."

"Do you want to practice this incomplete book technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose "no" with regret. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. This was the way for masters at the level of the Taoist master to achieve enlightenment. The complete [Skill of Praying for Blessings and Preventing Disasters] should be the same as the [Nine Deaths Cicada] of the Lord of War, both of which are mythical-level skills.

But he just couldn't practice this kind of magic. What if he became a puppet of Tai Sui God?

"You refused to use this item and put it in your magic bag. When you meet a master of the Tai Sui lineage in the future and have a head-on conflict with him, you will have a chance to spy on his flaws."

Tsk, it seems that this is an exclusive prop, only for Tai Sui God and his disciples. It is estimated that it will have no effect on other lineages.

"The Broken Arm of the Taoist Priest (Legendary Material). When the Little Sword Immortal was fighting with the Tai Sui God, he used his flying sword to cut off the right arm of the Tai Sui God and sealed it under the talisman and incantation."

"You can go to the Bafang Linglou to find the Medicine King's clone and give this severed arm to him. I believe he will maximize the value of this arm."

Jiang Xinghuo was secretly shocked in his heart, thinking that this little sword fairy was so fierce that he could even cut off the arm of the Taoist master.

Then his strength has probably reached that level. Even if he is not as good as those masters who have achieved enlightenment for many years, the difference is probably not that big.

"Do you want to go to the Eight Directions Spiritual Tower immediately to look for the Medicine King's clone?"

Jiang Xinghuo activated the altar of the Linglou and teleported to the Bafang Linglou, then went to Baicao House to find the clone of Medicine King.

"You came to the Herb House of Medicine King and took out the severed arm. A light immediately flashed in Medicine King's cloudy eyes. He picked up the severed arm and threw a small porcelain bottle to you at the same time."

"You have obtained the Xiantian Rebirth Pill."

"The Xiantian Tuotai Pill (legend), the sun and the moon combine yin and yang, the Xiantian returns to creation, the Xiantian is the pure Qi that is uncontaminated by all things, and it is also the best plastic talent in the world, which can transform your physique into the Xiantian body, but in the early stage of taking this pill, you cannot use all your strength, you can only use about 50%, until you completely reverse the Xiantian and transform the magic power in your body from acquired to innate."

It's done!!

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the information in the game text, he was immediately delighted. The elixir of legendary quality can allow people to reverse their innate nature. If it were thrown into reality and given to those wealthy people, I am afraid they would not be able to stop even a small goal.

Of course, he couldn't do that. This innate rebirth pill was hard to come by, and it was still unknown whether he could find a second innate Qi mother. He wouldn't be so foolish as to exchange this pill for money.

"Do you want to take this Xiantian Tufo Pill immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and chose no for the time being. He decided to wait until bedtime to take it. He hadn’t finished counting today’s gains yet, so he wasn’t in a hurry to use it right away.

At this time, a new game text popped up on the screen.

"The Medicine King collected the broken arm of the Tai Sui God, saying that he had not seen this level of medicinal material for a long time, and it must be refined by the real body, so you need to wait for a while. Since this broken arm is yours, you can keep 50% of the refined medicine. Do you agree to the Medicine King's conditions?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it and directly chose to agree.

Good things are only good when they are put to good use. If they are not used, they are just decorations. If I don't even trust the King of Medicine, then I guess no one will be able to use this broken arm to make medicine.

"The Medicine King promised that when the medicine is successfully refined, he will notify you to come over through the message of the Spiritual Tower Altar."

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Will you choose to leave the Bafang Linglou and go somewhere else, or stay here and continue to count tonight's harvest?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter and began to count the harvest.

"The map of the Sword Tower (common item). It is said that there is a towering Sword Tower in the City of Origin. It is the place where the essence of sword arts of many secular civilizations gathers. It is also the place that all swordsmen dream of going to."

"This map can guide you to find the Sword Tower hidden in the City of Origin. The Ascension Law is the key to unlocking the Sword Tower, but the prerequisite is that you can successfully find and enter the City of Origin."

Sword Tower...

Jiang Xinghuo silently put away the map. The path to the City of Origin was hidden inside the Luogeng and could only be opened on the day of Jingzhe. Therefore, this map was not useful for the time being.

"Yi Mu Jia Shi Yin (rare item), one of the five Jia Shi Yins left by Qimen monks. It can absorb the essence of plants and trees to transform into Yi Mu Jia Shi. It can continuously produce soldiers in the mountains and forests. The duration depends on the user's magic power. Disadvantage: afraid of fire."

"Seal of Emperor Wang (special). In ancient times, there was a king in the secular world of Sichuan and Shu. He occupied the rich land of abundance and was only one step away from becoming the ruler of the secular world. However, when his power and status were at their peak, he suddenly died in his bedroom. His body was buried in the imperial mausoleum under Dujiangyan. This seal can guide you to the location of the imperial mausoleum, but whether you can enter it depends on your ability."

Wangdi Mausoleum under Dujiangyan.

Jiang Xinghuo had touched upon the clues of this map a long time ago, but he never found the subsequent triggering task. It is said that another entrance to Taiping Ancient Town is hidden in this imperial mausoleum.

Jiang Xinghuo took out the seal and took a look at it. It was carved entirely from green jade and engraved with many ancient patterns and writings, as well as dragon patterns and various images of exotic beasts and immortal gods.

Now that he has this seal, he can go to Dujiangyan at any time to explore and discover this map.

After putting away the seal.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the last two remaining things.

"The corpse of the Yuanci God (rare material), a monster born from the Yuanci ore vein with 570 years of cultivation, was later forcibly restrained by the Little Sword Immortal by his side, using the magnetic force contained in his heart veins to nourish the flying sword. Now he is dead. His corpse can be used as a material for refining a sword furnace, or it can be refined into a mechanical puppet, or it can be controlled using the corpse-driving technique."

"Be careful, because the Yuanci God is a monster born from magnetic ore, so under the influence of magnetism, spells such as controlling corpses and puppets may suddenly fail, and in serious cases, they may even attack the master."

After reading the description in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo made a decision in his mind about how to use the corpse of the Yuanci God, which was to find the Taoist Shenji Bailian to build a sword-raising furnace.

Although there are Taoist masters of divine craftsmanship in the mining city, it is more reassuring to leave such high-end work to Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian.

However, don't rush to find the Taoist master Shen Ji Bai Lian. Let's take a look at the last thing first. If nothing unexpected happens, the fragments of the law of ascension should be hidden in this wisteria box.

"Vedic Wisteria Box (rare item), the Wisteria Box blessed by the God of Life Ayurveda, has the property of never being damaged, and the items hidden inside will not leak out even a little bit of their scent."

"Do you want to open this wisteria box?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath and chose yes.

"You have opened the Vedic Wisteria Box."

"You discovered that the contents of the box are the fragments of the mysterious law of ascension that are said to exist in legends."

"You have obtained the fragment of the law of ascension (7.3217%)."

"The Law of Ascension is one of the legal authorities held by Daozu. It has the power to allow people to ascend to heaven and transcend all things. Although it does not have the authority of the Golden Law to protect all things, nor the power of the Burial Law to bury all living things, it can be unaffected by any law and transcend all power."

"Do you want to fuse the fragments of the Ascension Law?"

"Note that although the fragments of the Ascension Law can override other powers, the holders of the laws themselves can sense each other."

"And your fragments of the law of causality are not complete, so you can't stop this power..."

"You have triggered the Immortal Scripture Bamboo Slips."

Jiang Xinghuo had already made plans to temporarily seal up the fragments of the Law of Ascension and merge them when he was strong enough in the future. However, he accidentally triggered a long-dormant item.

Bamboo slips of immortal scriptures.

When he first entered the underworld, he accidentally discovered a secret realm, where he found a white ape corpse that had lived for thousands of years.

This scroll of immortal scripture passed down by the Taoist master is a gift from the other party to oneself. Everyone can obtain a heritage from this scroll of bamboo slips according to his own understanding and talent.

What the white ape obtained was the method to become immortal.

There are three kinds of immortals. Corpse reincarnation is the method of Hinayana, where one dies first and then transforms into another, living on in the world with the remaining body. Although one can achieve longevity, it is difficult for one to remain immortal.

The middle vehicle is the method of earthly immortals, enjoying immortality, staying in the world forever, wandering among famous mountains and rivers, and is also called the red dust immortal.

The superior one is the method of celestial immortals, which enables one to transcend the ordinary and become a saint. Even if the heaven and earth are destroyed, I will not be destroyed; even if all living beings perish, I will not be the only one who perishes.

Jiang Xinghuo didn’t quite understand all this at the time, but now it seems that the Earthly Immortal should correspond to the powerful person who set up the mark.

The celestial immortals correspond to beings like the True Lord of Mountains and Rivers, the Immortal Master of Fortune and Treasures, and the Empress of Heaven, who have lived through countless civilizations.

After he obtained this scroll of immortal scriptures, he learned the method of condensing the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Scroll from it. All the various thunder methods he mastered now were obtained from this scroll of immortal scriptures.

But since then, this immortal scripture has lost its effect on him.

Not only is it completely unusable, even if I wanted to take it out and give it to other people I couldn't do it. It was as if it was welded inside a magic bag. I didn't expect it to react today.

"You accidentally triggered the Dao Ancestor's aura remaining in the Immortal Scripture bamboo slips, and merged it with your own aura."

"In this way, after you fuse the fragments of the Ascension Law, you can conceal the aura of the Ascension Law."

"Other holders of the Law Fragments can only vaguely sense your general direction, but cannot lock onto your specific location."

"Moreover, the other party's perception range is limited to the secular world. As for the exile land floating in the starry sky, that is a place they can never touch."

"Do you want to fuse the fragments of the Ascension Law?"

After seeing the game text given this time, Jiang Xinghuo's worries completely disappeared. As long as he couldn't lock his exact position, what else did he have to worry about.

The game text also makes it very clear that if he now integrates the Law of Ascension, other holders of the Law of Ascension can only sense his general direction.

For example, if he is now in a mining city in the northwest of the secular world, then other law holders can only sense that he is in the northwest and cannot pinpoint where he is.

"You chose to fuse the fragments of the Law of Ascension."

Jiang Xinghuo no longer had any worries. He not only integrated the law fragments left by the Little Sword Immortal, but also integrated the ascension law fragments found in the Corpse Forest Hell into his own body.

"You have obtained the Law of Ascension (9.1363%)."

"Once you activate the authority of the Ascension Law, the effects of other laws and authorities on you will be reduced, but this does not include the laws you control."

Seeing the information about the successful fusion of laws, Jiang Xinghuo clenched his fists excitedly, and at the same time a new text popped up.

"You sensed the auras of other Ascension Law holders. Some of them are located in Sichuan and Shu in the secular world, and some fragments are scattered in Fujian and Guangdong. The whereabouts of some fragments of the Ascension Law are unknown. It seems that some force is blocking your perception."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. Could it be that those missing fragments of the law were on the body of Shanhe Jishi Zhenjun? ?

The Lord of the Forest of Cemeteries was severely injured and dying after being beaten by the True Lord of Mountains and Rivers. The piece of flesh and blood containing the law of ascension to immortality was most likely torn off by the Lord of the Forest of Cemeteries from his body.

Shanhe Jishi Zhenjun is a powerful man who has lived through countless civilizations. It is not a difficult task for him to cover up the aura of the law of ascension by using his own means.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information given by the game. He could try to find an opportunity to search for the fragments of laws scattered in Fujian and Guangdong, but it was better to stay away from the others for the time being.

At this point, Jiang Xinghuo had completed counting of everything found in the Sword Immortal's tomb.

Afterwards, he took out the broken human race bag and counted the things he found in the Dragon King's Tomb.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat disappointed this time.

Because he had no use for almost everything he obtained, he could only hang them in the niche shop and sell them to the outside. Fortunately, there were two rare materials that could be used to strengthen the Dragon King's Taoist soldiers.

"What are you going to choose next?"

"Would you like to find a place to have a good rest for the night and wait until the sun rises tomorrow morning to discuss anything, or would you like to go somewhere else while it's still dark?"

The game gives two options: either find a place to rest for the night, or continue exploring in the dark.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the time. Today's game time was long enough. There was no need to keep playing. He should find a place to rest first and have a good sleep. He could talk about it after tomorrow morning.

But before going to bed, Jiang Xinghuo opened the item backpack, found the Innate Rebirth Pill, and clicked to use it.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo felt dizzy, as if he had a fever. He felt tired and collapsed on the bed. He fell asleep under the quilt, but changes had begun to take place inside his body.

Jiang Xinghuo slept for two whole days and nights. When he woke up on the third morning, he was dazed. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long! !

Two days and two nights passed in a daze. Fortunately, my body did not feel sore or swollen from lying down for a long time.

Afterwards, he tried to check his body again. Just as the text of the Xiantian Tufo Pill described, the strength in his body seemed to be lost, less than 30% of his original magic power.

But the little bit of energy and magic power that was left was extremely pure, and the feeling was hard to describe in words. In short, the condition was better than ever before.

He also felt that his breathing began to become long and smooth. One breath was enough to sustain him for a long time. Even if he didn't breathe, he didn't feel suffocated at all, as if even the pores all over his body could breathe.

"Fetal breath?"

Jiang Xinghuo remembered the records he had read in ancient books. Before babies are born, they have innate bodies in the mother's womb. It is only after birth that they are polluted by acquired turbid air and gradually lose their innate bodies.

The most obvious characteristic of the innate body is fetal breathing, which means breathing is not done through the mouth and nose.

It is also recorded in Yunji Qijian: If a person can breathe like a baby in the mother's womb, take in the internal energy, hold his mind firmly and focus on one thing, then it is fetal breathing.

He is now taking the Xiantian Tuoma Pill, and perhaps his physical condition is gradually reversing his innate state.

After figuring out the changes in himself, Jiang Xinghuo stopped worrying about these things. Instead, he solved his personal problems first, and then opened the shop for business and was busy all day.

It was not until the evening that Jiang Xinghuo had some free time. He locked the door, had a delicious barbecue at home, and then took out his mobile phone to log into the game.

But when he logged in, he found out that he was unemployed! !
Because he hadn't been online for two days and the vacation given by the Gunpowder Shop had expired, he was fired directly and lost his identity as a worker in the Gunpowder Shop.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Are you planning to explore other mines, leave the mining city and go to other cities, or just take a quick look around the city?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look and made his own choice, wandering around casually.
