For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

"Master."

Luo Feng asked somewhat unwillingly, "Can't you use the art of prolonging life?"

"Not to mention that many longevity methods are biased towards evil practices and are against the will of Heaven... The biggest problem with this matter is that I have already used it."

Diao Wudou shook his head helplessly.

"Actually, I was originally an abandoned baby. When my master rescued me, he discovered that I was destined to die young. He used a Taoist method to prolong my life and make up for my fate of being short-lived..."

All methods of prolonging life in this world have their own limits. My lifespan was originally very short, and I am already content to have lived this long.

Diao Wudou then looked at Luo Feng beside him.

"Another reason I chose you as the altar attendant is the predestined relationship between us as master and disciple. Perhaps there really is a kind of mysterious karmic connection in this world."

Other disciples did not come here today for various reasons, but you are here, which proves the fate between us.

Miao Sheng, listen carefully, I have three days left to live. Within these three days, I will do my best to pass on the true essence of our sect's "immortal techniques" to you.

I only hope that your comprehension and talent will allow you to grasp the essence of this school and find a successor to pass it on!

"Yes, ma'am."

Luo Feng lowered his head.

"very good."

Old Man Diao's tone became extremely solemn. He took out a small booklet from his body, an ancient book with an old cover, and stuffed it into Luo Feng's hands.

"This booklet contains some of my own insights and experiences, which will be of great benefit to you. You can study it carefully in the future."

The old man whispered again, "I'll begin now. You must write this down carefully. What I'm about to tell you is the most core secret of our sect, which concerns the Tongtian Altar and the 'Miraculous Manifestations of the Eight Immortals and Five Saints in the Sea'..."

Diao Wudou told him that the Five Saints Altars included the Qitian Altar, the Jiaohai Altar, the Fanjiang Altar, and the Yishan Altar.

They are all real forums.

All four altars require a ritual of setting up the altars. The altars must be set up at home so that one can use the power of the altars to perform rituals at any time in the future.

Liu Guangyang's previous setup of the "Overturning River Altar" was based on the foundation of a physical altar, which enabled him to temporarily trigger its activation.

Besides the four altars, the final Tongtian Altar is the main altar, and also a virtual altar.

"Tongtian Altar is also called Shitan. Altar means teacher, and teacher means altar."

Diao Wudou placed his right hand on his head.

"To master the altar, there are only eight words: 'Transmit from heart to heart, observe the master's silent form'... I will now pass on the altar to you. Close your eyes, and as long as you 'observe' my appearance in your mind, and always think of me, Diao Wudou, the altar will take root deep in your mind..."

Luo Feng had not expected that the Tongtian Altar was like this. He obediently closed his eyes and visualized Diao Wudou's appearance in his mind.

Deep in his mind, he continued to contemplate, and Diao Wudou's face was imprinted in his thoughts as if it were being copied.

The old man's face was clear at first, then became blurry, and after a while, it became exceptionally clear again.

In his mind, Diao Wudou's facial features transformed into a photograph, complete with a frame, like an old photograph, taking root deep within his consciousness.

It's unclear how much time passed before Luo Feng finally emerged from this state of "observing the master's silent appearance."

Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, then blinked again. Deep in his consciousness, the photo of Diao Wudou remained unchanged.

"it is good."

When Diao Wudou said the word "good," his tone was full of exhaustion.

"My altar is the master altar. The so-called 'the Yang master personally instructs, the Yin master imparts the Dharma' refers to the transmission of the 'Tongtian Altar'. Once you obtain the Tongtian Altar, you can control the other four altars: the Qitian Altar, the Jiaohai Altar, the Fanjiang Altar, and the Yishan Altar."

In fact, the existence of the other four altars is maintained on the Tongtian Altar. Other disciples are not allowed to use the power of these four altars or invite Yin Masters without your consent. This is the advantage you have in controlling the Tongtian Altar.

After obtaining the "Tongtian Altar," Luo Feng also understood the corresponding "information" about this altar, which was the intelligence obtained from the photograph of Diao Wudou.

This method was like an "enlightenment," and Luo Feng naturally gained inspiration and learned about some of the applications of the Temple of Heaven.

The Tongtian Altar has two main functions. The first is to control and interfere with the other four altars: Qitian, Jiaohai, Fanjiang, and Yishan.

Luo Feng only needs to use the Tongtian Altar to eliminate the Yin Master power of the other disciples of the Datuk Temple and the supernatural power they control.

The second method is to mobilize the "immortal arts" of the Eight Great Yin Masters, which means to use the "immortal treasures" of the Eight Ghost Immortals. Each immortal treasure is extremely powerful, but it is also extremely burdensome to use and cannot be easily abused.

"Master Diao."

After Luo Feng understood the use of the "Tongtian Altar", he said, "I have already understood the Tongtian Altar. I only need to 'observe the master's silent appearance' to activate its wonders. Whether it is controlling the four altars or canceling the power of the Yin Master, I can do it."

I now want to know what exactly the "Eight Immortals and Five Saints' Manifestations in the Sea" is? Why is this object the central element of many methods within the Datuk lineage, carrying the power of eight Yin Masters?

"it is good."

Diao Wudou was quite satisfied; he hadn't expected Luo Feng to comprehend the "Tongtian Altar" so quickly.

"His body is adorned with a lotus-shaped depression, his talent is truly remarkable! This kid's aptitude is truly extraordinary. It took me three days and three nights to comprehend the Tongtian Altar, but he was able to understand it in just one day. It's astonishing."

This young disciple is so outstanding; I hope I haven't entrusted him to the wrong person.

"Miao Sheng, come with me."

Diao Wudou turned around and led Luo Feng to his bedroom.

In his house, there is also a small room where a wooden statue of the Nine Incomplete Patriarch is enshrined.

After Diao Wudou entered, he immediately lowered his head and did not look at the statue. The old man lit incense and inserted it into the incense burner, silently offering his prayers.

"Miao Sheng, come and offer a stick of incense too."

The old man handed over a stick of incense. Luo Feng took it, lowered his head, and without looking at the wooden statue, silently offered the incense and began to worship the Nine-Incomplete Ancestor.

In that instant, a thought floated into his mind: a dark bluish-black haze appeared on Diao Wudou's face in the photograph deep in his thoughts, and his features became sunken, as if he were about to transform into something else.

"What the hell?"

Luo Feng's face immediately changed!

This was not normal, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"...Keep your mind calm and focused, and don't let it affect you."

Diao Wudou forcefully slapped him on the shoulder, abruptly interrupting his thoughts.

"This is the influence of the Nine Incomplete Patriarch, but it's nothing to worry about. If you calm your mind and visualize the image of the master, you will be able to ignore this anomaly."

Luo Feng took a deep breath, and the image of Diao Wudou's face flashed through his mind again. The sunken face in the photo had returned to its original state.

—The Nine Incomplete Ancestor, isn't that too evil? He can actually influence one's thinking and distort the "master image" in one's mind.

"Don't overthink it."

Diao Wudou laughed and comforted him.

"These are just scare tactics. As long as you don't look at the patriarch's face, no trick can truly harm you. By the way... this is the 'Eight Immortals and Five Saints Making Havoc in the Sea' that you wanted to see!"

As they spoke, the old man brought out a withered yellow scroll.

"This ancient scroll is made of human skin, and it depicts the 'Eight Immortals and Five Saints' miraculous appearances in the sea. Unfortunately, only half of the scroll is complete..."

As he said this, he slowly unfolded the treasure map, which was only half intact.

The moment the image was unfurled, Luo Feng's gaze was also deeply drawn to the picture of the mangled human skin...
