Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology

"Divide the Donghua Alliance?"

A middle-aged man with loose Taoist robes, disheveled hair, bare feet, and oil paint smeared on his face flew down from the sky.

"Taoist Shoucheng!"

Upon seeing him approach, the other three quickly bowed in greeting.

Ao Qing, Tianhe, and Qinglong were all Primordial Spirit cultivators except for Ao Qing, who was the Dragon Lord. Drawing upon thousands of years of faith from the Human Clan and controlling the waters of the Nine Rivers from the Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect, his combat power was no less than a Primordial Spirit cultivator.

"No need to rush; let us talk about this division matter."

"The Spirit Treasure Heavenly Master has tacitly approved. Are you all not interested in getting your share?"

Tianhe countered.

This time, he had learned his lesson and decided against solo action, opting instead to form more alliances.

He was willing to sacrifice some benefits to fully seize control of the Donghua Alliance.

His words stirred the interest of those present.

After all, that was why they had come.

The current turbulent situation had forced the major sects into quietly stockpiling power, draining resources in massive amounts.

The Donghua Alliance was immensely wealthy despite its relatively short rise, thanks to Song Lin's profound Taoist Realm and the substantial foundation he had built.

"How do we proceed?"

Ao Qing's eyes gleamed. His grudge against Song Lin was one thing, but it was the potential gains that he cared about.

"I have an idea."

The others leaned in to listen attentively.

"Donghua has two top experts. One is Zhonghuang Zi, who wields ten Divine Demon Dharma Images. A typical Primordial Spirit cultivator with fewer than five can't even hope to deal with him."

"Hmph, don't we Heavenly Masters possess the Great Dao? Couldn't we suppress him using that and easily take him down?"

"That's not possible. He has the Divine Seal, which shields him from the suppression of the Great Dao. He cannot be measured by conventional reasoning."

"And then, there's the second expert—Song Lin! His strength is close to that of a Primordial Spirit cultivator, and his spells are versatile and unpredictable, making him very difficult to handle."

Tianhe's words sobered the crowd, dispelling their initial underestimation.

"Taoist Tianhe is correct; we must not act rashly. Even if we manage to seize control, the losses it would cause cannot be compensated."

Ao Qing chimed in.

The backlash from a force nearly equivalent to an entire Taoist School is no joke.

Even if victory was achieved, the benefits would not outweigh the costs.

Thus, a gradual and methodical approach was necessary.

"The Donghua Alliance is extraordinarily united, making direct assaults impractical. Additionally, the oversight of the Evil Exorcism Altar makes internal exploitation exceedingly challenging."

Tianhe paused for dramatic effect before continuing smugly,

"However, they have exposed a fatal weakness—their excessive compassion and meddling in mortal affairs for the sake of reputation. While others are consolidating resources, they squander manpower and material aiding the mortal world. This kindness is precisely their vulnerability."

"Therefore, we can apply the 'boiling frog' strategy. Taoist Qinglong, let's use the Heavenly Master Seal to reclaim the authority of the Donghua Four Prefectures and give them a dose of natural disasters and human calamities."

"By continually wearing down their strength, Taoist Shoucheng and Taoist Ao Qing can investigate the openings of the Eight Sceneries World, ensuring it doesn't become a haven for the Donghua Alliance."

Natural disasters, human calamities, and demon chaos.

Combined with the disappearance of Earth Energy and Spirit-Prohibited blessed lands, their cultivation will be stalled, leaving them devoid of resources to sustain themselves.

Of course, to avoid cornering them into desperation, everything must be carried out gradually.

By the time they realize what's happening, it will already be too late.

"Speaking of which, I possess the Heaven and Earth Prohibition Formation, designed precisely for dealing with Divine Demons and Song Lin. Fellow Taoists, I invite you to assist me in setting it up."

......

Real-world scenario.

Song Lin opened his eyes, sensing the condition within his body.

Name: Song Lin

Realm: Tribulation Crossing Stage (Heavenly Tribulation)

Taoist Realm: 1,400 years.

Divine Skills:

Blood Refining Martial Saint—Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill, Qiankun Treasure—Twelve Yuan Chen, Celestial Star Pivot Thirty-Six Cloud Seal Talisman (Twenty-Four Cloud Seals), Little Three Emperors Scripture, North Emperor Black Law, Five Qi Chaoyuan to Life Spirit Scripture, 72 Transformations, Donghua Taoist Soldiers Xuanzi Secret Book, North Emperor Xuantian Technique, Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Secret Technique, Shenxiao Thunder Skill, Heavenly Escape Sword Scripture…

Blood Refining Martial Saint—Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill!

The Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill had changed.

Previously, it was confined to the Martial Arts Realm, but now it had fused with the Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill Divine Ability, intertwining techniques for body application and martial cultivation.

"Such an advanced cultivation technique—who could be behind this creation?"

The Martial Saint's Qi and blood formed into an image, hinting that a Human Immortal might possess a true dharma image, while a True Immortal likely corresponded to the Purple Mansion. Yang Immortal might align with the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

If matched accordingly, a Ghost Immortal likely ranged from the Purple Mansion to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

This indicated that these two Taoist Skills theoretically had the potential to reach the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Song Lin doubted that such a cultivation system could have been developed within a mere few thousand years.

Kunlun didn't have such a system, so it was highly probable that it was the creation of the Buddhist Sect or the Eight Lords of Qi Land.

The Buddhist Sect's physical body cultivation and the prowess of one of the Eight Lords—the Warlord Chiyou—were also notable for their mastery of this domain.

Spiritual soul cultivation, too, was likely the work of the Eight Gods and the Buddhist Sect.

Song Lin internalized his Qi and blood.

Combining the Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill with Blood Refining Martial Saint's physical martial arts, Song Lin found that he could exert the combat strength of a Purple Mansion simply using his physical might if he returned to the real world.

If he ascended to Human Immortal or True Immortal, his combat potential might rise even higher.

Even if he reentered a world devoid of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, his peak combat prowess would remain unaffected.

As he pondered, Song Lin stepped out of the World in the Pot.

He arrived at the Eight Sceneries World.

"Hmm? Jinhua Palace is deserted?"

Looking around, it was eerily empty.

He then ventured into Donghua Jungle.

Here, people finally appeared.

Song Lin grabbed someone and asked, "Where did everyone go?"

"Reporting to the Palace Master, they have all gone to help out."

"Help out? Is manpower that sparse?"

Song Lin used a Dharma Seal to summon the Taoist Wang Ziyue, envoy Shi Yinhua, Zhengxin, Earth Evil Heavenly Slaughter Yuanbo, and the others.

"Palace Master, we lack manpower. The mortals have no capability for self-defense, and even the number of Taoist Soldiers is insufficient."

Everyone complained the moment they saw him.

Song Lin listened silently as they each presented their grievances.

Ultimately, the root of the problem was a dire shortage of people.

The mortal court was of little use, aggravating the issue of manpower scarcity.

Song Lin had a sudden flash of inspiration and said, "I have an idea; take a look."

A point of golden light condensed at his fingertip and merged into everyone's foreheads.

This was the Human Immortal Skill from the story world.

Zhonghuang Zi instantly comprehended the skill, his expression revealing astonishment: "This method is excellent—focusing on refining the physical body and Qi and blood through sustenance. It has low entry barriers and is truly remarkable! Palace Master, where did you develop this?"

"I devised it myself, inspired by the Nine-Transformation Mysterious Skill. Though rudimentary, completing the Martial Saint stage equates to reaching the Peak of Divine Establishment, yet advancement beyond Martial Saint remains in exploration."

Song Lin's frequent unveiling of cultivation techniques had ceased to surprise the group.

Being universally acknowledged as a prodigy in Taoist Skills, whether true or not, such claims were accepted without dispute.

"What do you all think of this method?"

Having read through its contents, Song Lin posed the question.

"It's a divine skill!"

"It solves the urgent issue perfectly."

Martial cultivation produced results rapidly. Within three to five months, physical constitution improvements were apparent; in one to two years, practitioners gained self-defense capabilities. Within ten years, they became minor experts, and within fifty years, they achieved major expertise.

Geniuses progressed even faster—plus the system supported ongoing advancement.

Additionally, it didn't excessively drain resources.

Lower-tier Martial Artists merely required increased food consumption, something sustainable over time.

Of course, the path wasn't entirely ideal; otherwise, everyone would already be practicing Human Immortal Martial Ways.

After reaching the Human Immortal stage, difficulty rose exponentially, rivaling that of Immortal Cultivation. Furthermore, advancement required continual life-and-death struggles, leaving no room for complacency.

In summary, the method was widespread in its early stages but specialized in later stages.

Song Lin dubbed the technique the Human Immortal Method.

Human Immortal—the immortal among humans, refining mortal bodies to ascend.

It bridged the gap between the Human Clan and the Immortal Dao.
