Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology

"Should we take it back?"

The Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment, feeling that Song Lin's plan made some sense.

"Can you devour another being capable of revealing their True Body? Or use the undying medicine?"

Song Lin asked.

"I can create the undying medicine, manifest my True Body, and even open the Kunlun Fairyland."

The Queen Mother of the West replied.

"If I devour two beings, I'll have enough power to create more undying medicine to awaken the slumbering people of the Undying Country."

"How many people of the Undying Country are there now?"

"Two hundred thousand. The Sanqing Birds and Kai Ming Beasts are also in slumber. If they were awakened, your chances would improve significantly."

"Devouring one entity should suffice; with undying medicine, I can unleash my full combat power and even nurture cultivators of other magic veins." Song Lin suddenly thought of something and asked, "What if you devoured eight entities?"

"Then I might comprehend an even stronger Great Dao."

The Queen Mother of the West felt some anticipation within.

If she were to truly devour the essence of the Eight Gods, she might not necessarily inherit their Dao but rather perceive an even greater Acquired Dao.

For example, a higher tier of longevity, or perhaps another pathway of Kunlun—rebirth, creation, nurturing, and so on.

If that were the case, she wouldn't just be the God of Undying Medicine for the West Queen Mother Country but would hold a much greater divine authority.

"By the way, how much undying medicine do you have left?"

Song Lin, who had consumed the undying medicine before, knew that those who took it regularly would not perish as long as they remained within Kunlun Mountain Fairyland.

Outside Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the medicine was still an immensely powerful divine concoction.

It nourished every aspect of the body, greatly unlocked latent potential, and served as a core vital point for condensing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, allowing one to unleash peak combat prowess.

For Song Lin, this meant multiple ways to cultivate the Human Immortal Martial Way.

He could consume advanced Great Returning Pills or throw himself into a Pill Furnace and refine acupoints with Divine Fire.

A lesser martial artist would have already succumbed to such trials.

Song Lin's powerful constitution, however, allowed him to endure anything without issue.

"I have one pill left. Follow me!"

The Queen Mother of the West flew into the depths of her dilapidated underwater palace, prying open a floorboard covered in thick dust, causing the entire water domain to cloud.

Song Lin saw a small box.

He levitated the box and opened it, revealing a round, green pill exuding vitality.

"This is the Undying Grass Medicine. Consuming it can extend one's lifespan by sixty years, rejuvenate withered life, and turn back time."

The Undying Grass Medicine was crafted using Yingzhou Immortal Grass, a mythical herb said to have nine petaled leaves. If applied to the face of someone who died less than three days ago, they would come back to life.

The Queen Mother of the West harvested this herb to refine the Undying Grass Medicine.

"This one pill will suffice."

Song Lin smiled.

This single pill was enough to restore him to his peak state for one year.

Additionally, its medicinal properties allowed him to quickly enter the Human Immortal Realm.

The Human Immortal Realm was equivalent to Core Formation, and the True Immortal Realm equated to the Purple Mansion.

Song Lin had reached the verge of Core Formation within just a few years of restarting his cultivation.

In truth, it aligned with natural laws—the difficulty of cultivating to Core Formation from being a mortal was significant, but restarting cultivation paths from a higher realm was much simpler.

Though the spells differed, the Taoist Realm was equivalent, making the process akin to traveling familiar terrain.

From then on, Song Lin settled at Kunlun Mountain.

He consumed the undying medicine, instantly regaining his cultivation at the Heavenly Tribulation stage, and seamlessly wielding the twenty-four Cloud Seals.

"Yaochi, head to the foot of the mountain and bring up the villagers from Chen Family Village, Huang Family Village, and Lin Family Village."

Kunlun was too secluded.

Having only female disciples wasn't enough—Song Lin decided to open Kunlun Sect's gates and introduce them to new knowledge.

Song Lin planned to first teach the Four Major Magic Veins: Horse Immortal Arts, Thunder Skill, Taoist Soldier arts, and Sword Dao.

Even though the world lacked Spiritual Energy, it was still possible to cultivate up to Qi Refinement.

After Qi Cultivation, Song Lin would teach them the Yellow Divine Seal, which would enable them to employ Cloud Seal Charm techniques.

Still, this supplementary path was secondary; the focus would remain on Human Immortal cultivation and soul development.

Initially aiming to cultivate the Yang God path of soul development, Song Lin realized it was unnecessary.

High-level Human Immortal Martial Arts could touch upon the soul, thus soul cultivation paths overlapped naturally, requiring no separate practice.

"Yaochi, come here for a moment."

Song Lin emerged from the World in the Pot and observed Kunlun Sect disciples organizing the numerous newcomers.

The two walked to the riverside, and Song Lin handed her four secret manuals, saying:

"Study these four manuals first, then pass them down. Also..."

He took out ten bottles of pills.

Immortal cultivators' pills were immensely beneficial to martial artists, excellent for cultivation use.

"Yes!"

Yaochi withdrew.

From then on, Song Lin practiced by the water's edge.

Observers saw only one blazing Pill Furnace with a lone figure within, tempering his blood and qi.

The spectacle left them in stunned awe.

The heat of the flames was terrifying even from afar.

Let alone stepping into such a furnace for cultivation.

Unwittingly, Song Lin's reputation soared.

The twelfth year of the Qi Land Eight Gods.

Song Lin entered the Human Immortal Realm.

The thirteenth year of the Qi Land Eight Gods.

He opened all acupoints, drawing power from Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and the stars above. Atop Kunlun Mountain, he comprehended the essence of the Great Jade Capital.

On this day, he entered the True Immortal Realm.

The strength of his physical body finally mirrored the vibrancy of his spirit.

Kunlun, also known as Yujing, carried an aura unmatched—like a heaven-piercing pillar, immovable and majestic.

From this point forward, the Nine-Transformation Mystical Technique gained its True Intent.

Similar to the True Intent within Sword Dao, it elevated Sword Dao to completion—a technique no longer rigid and lifeless.

Even one Kunlun Divine Thought could crush ordinary cultivators; with the Great Jade Capital Divine Thought amplifying the Nine-Transformation Mystical Technique, its power multiplied immensely.

Such was the True Immortal Realm.

Will and intent piercing into reality!

Physical body modifications became especially effortless. Concepts like indestructibility and myriad transformations came inherently with the Nine-Transformation Mystical Technique and were soon mastered.

Then he encountered a bottleneck at the Yang Immortal Realm.

Upon inquiry, Song Lin learned that True Immortals were already considered peak cultivators in this world.

"In this era, only the sect leaders of the Four Great Sects—the Taishan Dao, Royal Li Family, Xuanhuang Sect, and Four Directions Dao—possess True Immortal Peak cultivation."

"Emperor, you are already one of the world's apex beings!"

Yaochi voiced her reverence.

Song Lin was far too strong.

His strength defied description; within a few short years, he already wielded such devastating power.

Yaochi felt nothing but awe, devoid of any other emotions.

"Is True Immortal considered powerful?"

Song Lin opened his palm, gazing at its jade-like smoothness, devoid of pores, and the formidable qi and blood pulsating within.

True Immortal at its peak held power analogous to wind tribulations.

It seemed Chiyou had been holding back.

"Let's go; gather the forces and head to Lu Mountain and Four Directions Dao."

According to the Queen Mother of the West's information, Four Directions Dao was presumably under the jurisdiction of one of the Eight Gods, the Four Seasons God.

Song Lin led his group, traveling by carriage toward the Four Seasons God's domain.

On the Sun Jade Carriage.

Song Lin gazed into the distance.

"This marks the beginning of the Kunlun Mountain mythology!"

At last, a new step had been taken.

Someday, across ten thousand realms, there would arise a mythology named Kunlun.

The story of the Queen Mother of the West and himself would be sung through the ages.

...

Meanwhile, in the real world.

Behind Yin Mountain, by a stream, stood a small grass furnace.

It was Zhengxin's secluded cultivation retreat.

Since witnessing Song Lin's immense talent, Zhengxin seemed to have been dealt a blow. He spent his days absorbed in cultivation.

On this day, Zhengxin suddenly opened his eyes, shock evident within.

"This is bad! The Earth Energy Spirit Vein has encountered a problem!"

...
