Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Seeing Master Puhong's expectant eyes, Zhang Xiaofan shook his head again and said:

"I'm sorry, Master. My ambition is to become an immortal, and I am already in the Ghost King Sect. My wife, Biyao, is also the daughter of the Ghost King Sect's leader. There is a difference between the righteous and the demonic."

If one wishes to stay at Tianyin Temple, one must abandon one's wife and family. Zhang Xiaofan is a man of principle and would never abandon his wife; therefore, he cannot join Tianyin Temple.

"Oh...that's a pity." Master Puhong's expectant expression vanished abruptly, replaced by a wave of disappointment.

However, Master Puhong possessed a very high level of composure, and his expression quickly returned to normal. He said:
"It's alright. Even if you don't join Tianyin Temple, Tianyin Temple will always be your support."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan knew how significant Master Puhong's words were.

He then cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said:
"Then thank you very much, Master."

"By the way, Master, may I ask what brings you here?"

Master Puhong glanced at the Blood Soul Sword behind Zhang Xiaofan, and the Bloodthirsty Bead within it, and then said:
"The Bloodthirsty Bead is extremely malevolent. It was just the Bloodthirsty Bead. After my junior brother Puzhi was seriously injured, although he was proficient in Buddhism, the Bloodthirsty Bead still took advantage of his weakness and committed a serious mistake."

"Although your cultivation is more profound than that of your junior brother Puzhi back then, the Blood Soul Sword is also dozens or even hundreds of times more ferocious than the Bloodthirsty Bead."

"There is a blank jade disc on the back mountain of Tianyin Temple. The founder of Tianyin Temple comprehended the supreme skill, the Great Brahma Prajna, from the blank jade disc."

"Therefore, you can go and observe the blank jade wall. It can help you eliminate some of the negative energy in your body and also has the effect of cultivating your character. In fact, with your extraordinary comprehension, you may even be able to discover the opportunity that belongs to you."

coming!

coming!

You finally came.

Zhang Xiaofan felt a surge of excitement. He had been planning for so long, escorting Master Puhong and two hundred others back to Tianyin Temple from Qingyun Sect, all for the sake of reaching the Nameless Jade Wall and comprehending the Heavenly Book…

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, Zhang Xiaofan pondered for a moment before replying:
"The Blood Soul Sword is now much more powerful, and its malevolent aura is indeed a hundred times stronger than that of the Bloodthirsty Bead. I have even been on the verge of eternal damnation three times."

"In that case, thank you very much, Master."

Master Puhong shook his head and said:

"No need to thank me. If it weren't for Benefactor Zhang escorting us two hundred people back to Tianyin Temple, we would all be dead long ago, and Tianyin Temple would have been destroyed by the Demonic Sect."

"Compared to Benefactor Zhang's kindness, comprehending the wordless jade disc is insignificant."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled but didn't say anything.

After all, that's what Master Puhong said.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaofan, the heavily injured Master Puhong and the other two hundred people would have been wiped out when facing the encirclement and attack of Madam Sanmiao's five hundred elite disciples.

Even if they risked their lives, at most only a dozen or twenty people could escape.

At that time, Tianyin Temple will face the disaster of destruction.

However, Zhang Xiaofan also knew that even Master Puhong and the other people from Tianyin Temple did not know that the most mysterious cultivation technique in the world, the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book, was hidden inside that blank jade wall.

He had already obtained the third volume of the Heavenly Book, and the fourth volume was of paramount importance.

The first three volumes and the fourth volume can be integrated into one, the Taoist methods will return to their original simplicity, the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism will be completely unified, all the true methods of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism will complement each other, and the strength will undergo earth-shattering changes. At that time, cultivation will also be much faster.

Master Puhong rose from the futon and looked at Zhang Xiaofan, saying:

"Let's go. The wordless jade disc is quite far away in the back mountain. The twenty-eight eminent monks of Tianyin Temple have been waiting for a long time. Let's set off for there now."

“Okay!” Zhang Xiaofan replied, and together with Master Puhong and Faxiang, they left Xiaotianyin Temple and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Then they walked for half an hour towards the back of Mount Sumeru, crossing many peaks along the way, and finally arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Master Puhong pointed down the cliff and smiled kindly:

“Benefactor Zhang, the blank jade disc is below. Let’s go down!” With that, Master Puhong and Faxiang leaped off the cliff into the abyss.

Zhang Xiaofan looked down and saw that the clouds and mist below were so thick that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

Master Puhong and Faxiang had only jumped one meter when their figures were obscured by endless clouds and mist.

Zhang Xiaofan leaped lightly into the abyss.

As soon as I jumped down, I was shrouded in endless clouds and mist; all I could see was gray and white fog.

A moment later, Zhang Xiaofan landed on the ground.

However, the surrounding area was still filled with endless clouds and fog, making it impossible to discern directions!

"Amitabha!"

Just then, Master Puhong's aged voice rang out from the endless mist.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan followed the sound.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan strode forward through the mist ahead, surrounded by a murderous aura and extremely fierce spirit. The blood-red mark on his forehead was glaringly bright, and his blood-red hair flew wildly. He held the Blood Soul Sword in his hand.

The Blood Soul Sword shone with a dazzling crimson light, and countless sinister spirits around it gave eerie, sinister laughs...

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan gripped the Blood Soul Sword and charged straight at Zhang Xiaofan with a single sword strike!
Zhang Xiaofan did not make a move, but a flash of blood-red light still appeared outside his body to prevent any accidents.

The Blood Soul Sword pierced through Zhang Xiaofan's chest, and Zhang Xiaofan also passed through his body.

Then, it disappeared into the endless fog.

The illusion vanished!

Zhang Xiaofan continued walking forward, and before long, the space in front of him suddenly opened up, revealing a space within a hundred meters in radius free of fog.

In the middle, an ordinary small stone platform stands, supported by a stone pillar, and rises three meters into the air.

Twenty meters in front of the small stone platform, a smooth, jade-like stone wall lies across the mountainside.

The stone wall is seven zhang high and four zhang wide. It is neither stone nor jade, and it is without any impurities.

The jade disc is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everything around it. Facing the jade disc, one feels as insignificant as an ant.

The jade disc before me seemed to be the most supreme mystery in the world...

Ten meters around the small stone platform, thirty highly accomplished monks sat cross-legged in a circle.

They were monks from Tianyin Temple who had higher levels of cultivation.

Master Puhong, the Divine Monk Pude, the Divine Monk Pukong, Faxiang, and Fashan, who has already broken through the Shangqing realm, are all among them.

Among them are twenty-five eminent monks, some of whom have already broken through to the Upper Clarity Realm, but most of them should be at the peak of the Jade Clarity Realm or at the seventh or eighth level.

After all, in the cultivation world, even those at the seventh or eighth level of the Jade Purity Realm possess considerable cultivation.

At the peak of Jade Purity, one can even establish a sect. Although it cannot compare with major sects such as Qingyun Sect, Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley, it is still quite famous, such as the Vajra Sect's Venerable Mighty.

Stone's master was only at the peak of the Jade Purity Realm, but he was known to everyone in the cultivation world.

Master Puhong looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
“Benefactor Zhang, please go up. We will combine our efforts with the blank jade disc to expel the malevolent energy, evil spirits, and malevolent forces from your body.”

Zhang Xiaofan first bowed to Master Puhong and the others, and said:
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow disciples!"

Then, with a light leap, it landed on the small stone platform.

He sat cross-legged, examined the blank jade disc in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes!
