NOVEL NEXT Chapter 388: Taiyin (Part 3)
"Uh, True Monarch? Dharma King? Hahaha hiccup!"
Liang Jiuding burst into laughter upon hearing this, nearly choking. He quickly retrieved a large item from his bag, fumbled around and pulled out a Jade Purification Bottle from his person, took a big gulp to catch his breath, and boasted with a smile,
"Brother, you're underestimating us at Songshan Mountain. Although my master is not a direct disciple of the Xuan Nu lineage, technically he's a Taoist from Lu Temple, but even so, comparing with True Monarch and Dharma King is too presumptuous.
Forget it, today is a fateful meeting with us brothers, let me tell you. My master is none other than Old Immortal Nanhua from Taiyin, have you ever heard of him?"
"Taiyin Nanhua…"
Huangfu Yi thought for a moment,
"Oh, I once met someone from the Mystic Sect who said to show respect to Old Immortal Nanhua, are you referring to your esteemed master…"
Liang Jiuding laughed heartily, patting his shoulder,
"Brother, you are indeed fated to be with the Dao. My master's old self achieved immortality, has been wandering in Outer Heaven for thousands of years, and is truly among the immortals!
By calculations, the head of the Mystic Sect is his friend, the Supreme of Divine Sect is his junior, and those True Monarchs and Dharma Kings, how are they worthy to be compared with his old self? We're overrating them!
Moreover, if your enemies are merely from the Divine Sect, we have plenty of ways to deal with them. Why go to such lengths to get to Nine Yin Mountain? It's better to go to Songshan Mountain with me."
"Oh, is that the case? However, I have an appointment with someone that I must first attend in the Capital…"
Huangfu Yi estimated that the Jade Purification Bottle probably contained liquor, thus making the fat man drunk and starting to talk nonsense.
But thinking back to the days in Jiuquan Village, everybody did the same: getting drunk and bragging about 'Back in the day, my ancestor was General of Western Expedition'. Now these immortals, after getting drunk and bragging, it's just 'My master drank with Immortal Venerable and brawled with the Divine Lord'. Listening to these sect boasting stories is nothing special.
"Hey! You don't believe it! No way! I don't care how others view me, but I can't let my brother doubt me!"
Liang Jiuding reached into his pocket and pulled out an item,
"Look! What's this!"
Huangfu Yi glanced at it,
"Skeleton."
Liang Jiuding grinned and tossed the skeleton head into Huangfu Yi's lap,
"This is a Dharma King."
"Dharma King? A Dharma King from the Divine Sect?"
Huangfu Yi was shocked for a moment, only to see that the skull appeared unremarkable, just a deceased person's bones, with a circle of Daoist talismans etched on the skull cap, upon closer inspection there were densely packed talisman inscriptions, seeming like a restrictive array.
Liang Jiuding pointed out,
"The most famous skill of the Divine Sect is the Blood God's son's great method, once cultivated, it's said to transform into thousands, becoming immortal and indestructible. Although the Mystic Sect has devised numerous methods and divine skills to counter it, none has been particularly effective. No matter how many you kill, the Blood God's sons just keep growing.
The root cause lies in the fact that the Blood God's son's great method is merely a survival technique, what's truly formidable about the Divine Sect is their art of calculation."
"Art of calculation?"
"Indeed, the Divine Sect's Divine Insight, created by the Divine Lord, is an unprecedented masterpiece, entirely different from the Six Ren of Immortal Palace, the Qi Sect of Xuan Nu, and the Taiyi of our Dao.
Most notably, it can utilize the secret manual of Primordial Spirit, coordinating with puppets and Soul Stealing Technique, using the minds of cult members, spiritual pets, and blood puppets under their command as an abacus to aid calculations. It's equivalent to your one person calculating versus their thousands plotting, how could you outmaneuver them?
Thus, even though the Mystic Sect's experts have hundreds of skills and divine powers, as long as they are tactically superior, calculating swiftly, they always find a way to escape and means for survival. Even when truly rallying allies for a siege, they have protective disciples assisting them.
So, to deal with the Demon Sect, sheer brute force is never enough, you have to outsmart them in calculations to stand a chance.
As for this Dharma King, it is my master's superior skill in Taiyi Divine Calculation, capturing him alive, then using the Taiyi Yin Yang Escape Formation, deploying the Nine Palaces Sixteen Divine Arrays, trapping this rogue's Primordial Spirit in cyclical reincarnation within this formation, unable to escape Five Elements and Six Epochs. Now it's reduced to a teaching material for us senior and junior brothers to study and refine the Primordial Spirit Method."
"Wow…"
Though Huangfu Yi couldn't comprehend, it seemed truly impressive.
Liang Jiuding chuckled,
"Wanna learn? I can teach you."
Huangfu Yi was hesitating when suddenly a system whisper blew into his ear, saying, "Taiyi Divine Calculation is quite something," his eyes lit up immediately.
"Really? Is it truly a definitive technique against Blood Demons? Can you really teach me?"
Liang Jiuding patted his rounded belly, and with confidence said,
"Once a gentleman speaks, four horses cannot chase it down; I promised to accompany you for seven days, not like I have anything better to do.
When you witness the prowess of Taiyi Divine Calculation, you will surely learn of the skills we possess at Songshan Mountain."
