Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 67: The Book of Tao (revised)

The ten huge waves were quite far apart, but the treasure ship arrived in an instant and directly drilled the green shark's corpse into the deep sea.

At the same time, Jing Qian followed and in the blink of an eye, he used his [Sword Fang] to slash and easily cut his body into seven or eight pieces.

Without the protection of the Yin corpse, the Yin ghost immediately floated out and attacked Jing Qian.

This ghost is invisible and intangible, but it represents a unique magical power.

But under the observation of [World Solution], it showed a gloomy spiritual light, and there was no place to hide.

Jing Qian shot out several silk threads in succession, suddenly wrapping up the ghost, and with the power of [Weaving Soul], he easily tore it into pieces.

It is written in the "Dawn and Dusk Determine the Fate Sutra" that the [Weaving Souls] fate focuses on the consciousness of the soul and is extremely restrained against ghosts. Just pulling with a silk thread is enough to tear the terrifying ghost into pieces.

To others, the Yin Year is a day of terrible disasters, but to the Jing family of [Jiangzhu Island], the Yin Year is a time of harvest.

Due to the peculiarity of the [Weaving Souls] fate, every Yin year, the Jing family would organize a team to go out to sea to hunt down Yin ghosts.

Just like Jing Qian at this moment, he was searching for the traces of the corpse in the waves.

He dug out a piece of [Yin Bone] from the remains of the Yin corpse, and found a [Yin Pearl] from the fragments of the Yin ghost. Both were ninth-grade [White Fang] magic materials.

One Yin corpse can contribute two treasures, which doubles the income compared to a siren.

Moreover, with the help of [Worldly Solution], Jing Qian's efficiency in killing ghosts is many times higher than that of others.

The first hunt was successful, opening up a new track for Jingqian!

The siren friends temporarily left the stage, leaving the stage to the more talented corpses and ghosts.

Moreover, the number of these ghosts is greater than that of our mermaid friends.

On the vast ocean, Jing Qian could find a ghost every hundred miles.

Among the two Yin ghosts, one of them evolved into a Yin corpse.

His little boat suddenly became busy.

He used the full power of [Worldly Solution] and tried his best to search for the ghosts within his field of vision.

Once locked onto by him, the Dingyuan would transform into a rampaging chariot and charge towards the opponent.

This method of dropping the boat from the sky is definitely a unique and bizarre operation in [Hunzhou].

Using the treasure ship as a hammer to hit people, not to mention the magical power, just the pure physical attack is not something these ninth-grade ghosts can resist.

In addition, Jing Qian's elusive [Sumeru] walking, combined with the opponent's natural counter [Soul Weaving] soul-killing.

It is as easy for Jing Qian to kill the ghosts as cutting grass!
What seemed like horrible and difficult days to others were, to him, as pleasant as a paid vacation.

When the Lunar New Year arrives, only Jingqian is truly celebrating the New Year!
On the journey back to [Hunzhou Island], he actually filled up the [virtual world] and the life monument space!

He looked at the pits and valleys full of precious materials and the space on the life monument that was barely enough for him to step on, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.

This unexpected bumper harvest almost overturned his three views!

To others, the coming of the Yin Year and the coming of evil spirits are a disaster.

No one knows where the Yin ghosts come from, and they only appear in Yin years. They devour souls to supplement their own spiritual growth.

But for Jing Qian, this Yin year can be described as a feast for the gluttons.

There is no prey more convenient than ghosts and corpses!

If the sea waves had not been so rough that he could not stop the boat, he would have long ago stopped the boat and gone into seclusion to practice cultivation.

He could already foresee that he would experience another rapid improvement in his cultivation.

As [Hunzhou Island] appeared at the end of the sight, Jing Qian, who had been at sea for more than half a year, finally returned safely.

When the Yin year came, he suddenly realized how superior the geographical layout of this [Hunzhou Island] was.

The core hinterland of the entire island is more than 3,000 meters above sea level.

The crazy waves posed no threat to the island at all.

The access passage built using the Hunhe River is so strong that one man can block the passage of ten thousand.

There is no way that the evil spirits and corpses in the sea can easily break through the defense of the Hunhe River and enter the island.

It’s no wonder that the island’s residents are being exploited to raise dragon pythons, but they don’t think about finding a way out.

Among all the [Life Islands], [Hunzhou Island] is undoubtedly the safest.

With a push of Jing Qian's magic power, the Dingyuan flew onto the Hun River and began another three-day long drift on the river.

He finally had time to relax.

Sailing in the Yin Year and killing Yin ghosts along the way is not an easy test on one's mentality.

He appeared to have gone back into the depths of the cabin, but in reality he had already jumped into the [virtual world].

The space was densely packed with gray-white [Yin Bones] as thick as buckets, and translucent [Yin Beads] as big as walnuts.

Along the way, he killed a total of 273 ghosts and corpses.

Two hundred and seventy-three [Yin Pearls] and one hundred and thirty-five [Yin Bones] were harvested.

Such precious materials, worth thousands of gold, are enough to exchange for another eighth-grade treasure ship.

[Yin bone] has a hard texture and is a good material for casting tools and forging treasures. Its value is comparable to [Hague iron].

However, the [Yin Pearl] has another magical use and is even more valuable.

Jing Qian picked up a [Yin Pearl] and moved in front of the [Tushita Furnace].

The life of this spiritual treasure swallowed several [Life Fires] and its state changed drastically. It began to burn the [Life Stove] based on the [Void Realm].

It has been burning for half a year now.

At the beginning, he had very high expectations, thinking that he could quickly burn out his [Life Fire], directly draw out his [Life], and take off on the spot.

However, he did not expect that the foundation of the [Virtual Realm] was too shallow, and the vital energy it provided was insufficient, causing his [Life Stove] to evolve extremely slowly.

Jing Qian was actually overthinking it. As the top-notch cultivation resource in this cultivation world, it was extremely difficult to actually burn a [Life Stove]!

In the vast ocean, it is extremely difficult to choose a hub island where vital energy gathers.

You also need to carefully collect objects of possession of the sixth grade [Purple Eyes] and above to serve as the foundation of the [Life Stove].

Finally, it will take a great cultivator who is above the [Extending Life] realm, and spend several years relying on persistent efforts to connect with the earth's energy.

Ultimately, one must successfully survive the arrival of a Yin Year before one can implant the Dao tendons and ignite the [Life Fire].

Even with the cultivation background of several big landlords in the [Hunzhou] government office, if they want to seek a [Life Island], they would rather scheme against [Qizhishi Island] and [Jiangzhu Island] than burn one out themselves. This is evident from the fact.

Jing Qian was able to start evolving this [Void Furnace] thanks to the unique nature of his two [Golden Roots], and the six [Life Fires] and more than a hundred [Blue Blood] lamps he stole from the [Green Lantern] as fuel for lighting the stove.

Even so, due to the lack of vitality in the [virtual world], he was unable to come out.

Until Jing Qian harvested the [Yin Pearls] in this area.

This kind of treasure is unique to ghosts and has unique effects. Adding it to the [Life Stove] can promote the evolution of [Life Fire].

When Jing Qian came forward with a [Yin Pearl], the [Tushita Furnace] that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened up a crack.

Then, a pure black cat paw stretched out from it and took the [Yin Pearl] back.

In an instant, the fire in this [Void Furnace] clearly increased a little!
Seeing that the [Yin Pearl] was useful, Jing Qian hurriedly handed over the [Yin Pearl] on the ground one by one.

The cat's claws did not stop for a moment, collecting the [Yin Pearls] one by one.

The two of them worked together, and in the blink of an eye, they put all the [Yin Pearls] into the furnace.

Jing Qian could clearly feel that the evolution level of his [Life Stove] had greatly improved.

Although it has not yet evolved successfully, it is already almost there.

This is easy. After Jing Qian goes back to rest for a few days, he will go out to sea again soon.

There are all kinds of Yin ghosts in the sea, enough for him to collect them to burn the Yin beads for the [Life Stove].

After packing up the [Yin Pearl], he turned his consciousness and returned to the Life Monument space after a long time.

But he only saw a strange sight that he had never seen before, appearing before him.

The souls of the more than 200 ghosts he killed all descended into the life monument space and crowded together outside the safe zone.

Looking around, he saw faint ghost shadows, still without any substance. But when one ghost shadow after another pressed against the barrier and looked at Jing Qian, he still felt a little creepy and got goose bumps.

However, when he thought that these were his good brothers in the Yin Ghost who sent him good food before they died, he was also excited.

He was seen sitting in front of the fate monument, waving thirty-six pure white silk threads in his hands, shooting towards these ghostly shadows.

[Weaving Soul] The special effect of killing the soul is fully exerted.

These ghostly figures were like cheese cut by molten wire, scattered layer by layer and piece by piece.

Jing Qian himself couldn't count how many ghosts he had killed.

He only knew that he was like mowing grass, harvesting crop after crop. A vast amount of [Life Essence] flowed directly into his consciousness, accompanied by dense clusters of memory light.

These memories are so unique, each one is like a complex and eerie seal script.

Jing Qian did not recognize any of these seal characters, but it did not affect the activation of the power of [World Solution], and he absorbed all of the seal characters.

Then, Jing Qian felt that the [World Solution] destiny in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly jumped, as if something strange was brewing.

His hands and feet did not stop for a moment, and the silk thread continued to cut the ghost, squeezing out more magic power and memory.

After a full day and night, Jing Qian killed all the ghosts and spirits and pulled out more than 1,500 seal characters.

After removing duplicates, a total of one thousand and twenty-four seal characters were absorbed and refined by [World Solution].

Another day and night passed, and after a violent tremor, [Worldly Solution] transmitted a strange rhythm of Dharma into Jing Qian's mind.

He carefully sensed it, but it was a message that greatly surprised him:

"The Book of the Blood River, the Impermanence of the Abyss, and the Hell!"

“If there are flaws, they can be deduced and reshaped!”

【Taoist book】?
The result was very surprising!
The demon that only appears in the Yin year actually has a Taoist book hidden on it?
He is no longer a novice in cultivation and has a clear understanding of the levels of inheritance.

Scriptures like the "Morning and Dusk Determination of Fate Sutra" inherited by the Jing family and the half of the "Green Pine and Earth Ring Destiny Sutra" that was borrowed from a prostitute are both the lowest level of inheritance, called "scriptures".

The upper limit of this type of inherited practice is only the seventh level [Life Extension] realm, which generally only includes the refining methods of a few core [Fates] and the condensation methods of the corresponding Dharma images.

A few scriptures that contain some secrets of refining [lifespan] and promoting [longevity] are considered high-end goods.

The next level up from the sutra is the "Book of Fate" like the secret "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" passed down by [Suori Shikijima], which is called the "Book of Fate".

This level of inherited secrets contains a large amount of advanced cultivation knowledge.

From the forging of [Spiritual Inspiration], to the development of [Life Island], to the smelting of evil spirits, and even to the reflection of stars.

It is enough for cultivators to break through from [Extending Life] to [Fu Ling], [Di Sha], and finally to [Zhai Xing].

In Jing Qian's original plan, obtaining a suitable "Book of Life" inheritance was an extremely important task.

But he never thought that he could obtain a [Taoist book] in this way.

According to legend, above the "Book of Fate", there is a higher level of inheritance, called the "Book of Tao", which is the true secret method of the Tao and has the ability to reach the sky.

Only practitioners of the [Taoshu] can get a glimpse of the top three among the nine levels of cultivation.

But in Jingqian's memory, these were just groundless rumors.

He didn't even know the name of any Taoist book.

Until he slaughtered a large number of ghosts and spirits, and extracted this "Blood River Impermanence Abyss Hell Dao Book" from the memories of these spirits.

With the help of this great catastrophe of Yin Year, the inheritance is spread. It can be imagined that there must be a terrible cause and effect behind this [Taoist book].

He tried to accept the contents of the inheritance, but found that the mere 1,024 seal characters actually encompassed everything, and contained vast secret methods of cultivation.

Even with the help of [Worldly Solution], it is impossible to receive such a huge amount of information in a short period of time.

However, there was no need for him to accept the "Blood River, Impermanence, Abyss and Hell Book" for the time being.

[Shijiejie] has clearly pointed out that this Taoist book has flaws.

Then he would naturally have to wait until the re-deduction was completed and the hidden dangers were eliminated before he could truly begin practicing.

He then activated [World Solution] and began to deduce.

In an instant, a large amount of knowledge lingered within the [World Solution] fate and began to reorganize and decompose freely.

This is the true manifestation of the power of [Worldly Solution].

This strange [fate] that seeks to verify all the true answers in the world finally has its own battlefield that it is best at.

Jing Qian's rich [Life Essence] was swallowed up by [World Solution].

The more than 1,500 complex seal characters absorbed by it began to gradually disintegrate and disintegrate, and then slowly reassembled under the blessing of [World Solution].

During this process, the extra dross that was added was eliminated one by one, leaving only the purest secret method of cultivation.

The method that has been sorted out by the [Worldly Explanation] is the true face of this [Taoist Book].

Jing Qian attaches great importance to the results of the deduction!

Whether it is the deduction of the [Taoist Book] or the casting of the [Life Stove], it takes a period of time to settle.

If he can achieve a breakthrough in either of these two major events, it will bring about a real qualitative change in his practice.

This makes Jingqian extremely looking forward to the future development!

He flashed back onto the deck of the Dingyuan and stood there.

The cave pier was just around the corner, and he was about to return to the island as he still had some matters to deal with in the sea city.

The building of our own should have been almost completed. Given the unique position of Hai City, these scarce houses will definitely bring in a lot of money.

He had already made a plan. No matter how much money he collected, he would exchange it all for high-quality metal treasures and use it to recast the [Sword Fang].

He did not have high demands for other precious materials for cultivation, except for this metal material, which was difficult for his good friends, the mermaid and the ghost, to contribute, so it was just right for him to use it to digest the gold and silver he had accumulated.

For Jing Qian, money is the most useless thing. What can be converted into an improvement in strength is the most real thing.

After sailing for a while, he finally entered the cave dock.

The previously bustling scene has disappeared, and the image inside the dock has changed drastically.

At the exit of the Hun River, there were two tall warships standing on the left and right. They were the navy's two seventh-grade main warships, the Hunyi and the Hunliang.

The two ships together guarded the only entrance to [Hunzhou Island] to prevent any ghosts or corpses from entering.

Jing Qian sailed into the impounded lake under the surveillance of two ships.

All the boats in the lake have dropped anchor and are beginning to enjoy their year-long vacation.

On the dock, there were three teams of armored warriors guarding the area separately.

Each team is led by a great master of the [Dragon Elephant] sect, who leads twenty-four [Destiny] sects.

These three teams of monks are the core force of the military affairs office of the government office.

Jing Qian did not stay in the lake for long, but swam quickly to the left.

At this moment, a monk from the military office on the shore sent a message:
"But has the Jingshi Dingyuan returned to the island?"

"Yes!"

"It's not easy to sail in the Yin year. Captain Jingqian has worked hard. Please stop the boat quickly and return to shore to rest."

"During the Yin Year, no one is allowed to stay at the dock. Please cooperate!"

"I will definitely cooperate!"

After a brief conversation, Jing Qian was let go.

He drove straight to the dock on the far left.

This pier is a bit dilapidated, but it was the exclusive pier for the Jing family’s fleet back then and was his family’s property.

He anchored the Dingyuan here and finally reached the shore.

Returning to the earth from the endless storms is a different feeling.

At this moment, three twitching figures came over, looking as if they had been abused and in trouble.

Jing Qian was puzzled when he saw that these were the three waiters from the Jing's main restaurant whom he had spared.

He couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you three here instead of staying in the store?"

But the leader among the three people trembled and said:
"Master, the three of us were assigned to guard our Jing family's dock."

"Arrange? Who arranged it?"

Jing Qian's face turned cold, and he asked.

"It's the adults in our building."

"Master, our building has been completed. It has 67 floors. Many adults have moved in before you came back."

"Every official store, every manager, several direct descendants of [Life Island], and even several city lords at the foot of the mountain have sent people to occupy the first floor."

"We are insignificant and have no influence, so we can only be sent here to guard the dock."

Jing Qian sneered when he heard this. He didn't even care about his dignity!

It is said that money can move people's hearts. A legitimate store license is enough to attract bees and butterflies.

When he finished building the building, it attracted all kinds of monsters and demons.
