Chapter 310: Chapter 247: Opening Up One’s Own Blessed Land
Translator: 549690339
Why is it that after refining mysterious objects found in forbidden blessed lands, martial artists can raise their strength to a certain realm, but it’s difficult to advance further? Generally speaking, it causes martial artists to remain at a certain realm for the rest of their lives. To promote, unless they obtain other compatible mysterious objects to refine, they will forever be unable to progress.
The reason is straightforward, refining a mysterious object is essentially equivalent to fusing oneself with the blessed land, thus walking the path of the Earth Immortal. Their power is bound with the blessed land they have fused with.
Yet because those who first opened the forbidden blessed lands varied in strength, it’S dictated the range of Taoist fruits’ strengths, leading to refinements at different realms.
For martial artists who take up the path of refining mysterious objects, unknowingly they have embarked on the path of longevity. Their cultivation should not focus on further refining themselves, but rather on how to advance their blessed land.
Only when the blessed land they have fused with continues to rise in prominence will their own strength increase correspondingly.
The so-called fusion of other compatible mysterious objects is in fact a form of disguised encroachment, merging two similar blessed lands, and elevating them.
But over the years, there is an endless number of martial artists refining mysterious objects. Couldn’t there be a single person who has uncovered the secret?
Pei Xuanjing frowned inwardly, conjecturing in his heart.
Perhaps, according to common sense, only those martial artists who lack talents in Martial Arts would choose to refine mysterious objects to advance. For them, this essentially severs their own path.
Those talented ones who have reached the pinnacle of Martial Arts on their own strength disdain to use external objects to enhance themselves, thus they wouldn’t study these things.
The ones who can refine mysterious objects lack the talent to discover the secrets, while those who are qualified disregard such trivial things.
Only such reasoning could cause such a method, one that could lead to Immortality, to be overlooked, forming a blind spot that remains concealed even now.
In addition, based on the information Pei Xuanjing has obtained regarding cultivation, when divided according to the three major realms: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Immortal Realm, until Heaven and Earth hadn’t decayed yet, only stepping into the Spirit Realm was considered truly stepping onto the path of cultivation.
Hence, even if this method had been passed down initially, the minimum requirement would probably be that only cultivators who stepped into the Spirit Realm could practice it. Those at the Mortal Realm simply couldn’t.
Looking at Daoist Xuanming, whose complexion looked odd, Pei Xuanjing laid out all the information he knew without any reserve.
After all, these were his own words, entirely speculation and conjecture without much proof, so he needed Daoist Xuanming to help him consider them.
After all, Baiyun Temple has a long lineage and its foundation is profound, exactly how many secrets it has, no one knows.
Hiss!
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, Daoist Xuanming couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.
He hadn’t expected that just a few words revealed so much to Pei Xuanjing, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “It seems that Taoist friend truly has received the entire inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect.”
Just as Pei Xuanjing speculated, Baiyun Temple as one of the three ancestral courts of Quanzhen, is profound and naturally understands many unknown secrets.
You must know that Daoist Chongyang, who opened up the Quanzhen lineage, dominated the Martial Arts world in his era, and no one dared to compete with him. At that time, it wasn’t too long after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and some information was still circulating.
Furthermore, later on, due to Baiyun Temple’s relationship with the former Yuan Dynasty, they acquired many secrets with the help of the latter.
That was until later the Yuan Dynasty destroyed many secret transmissions and books, and after the uprising of the founder of the Great Ming Dynasty, an unprecedented war enveloped the entire world, causing many things to disappear in the river of history.
Daoist Xuanming was sure that not even the now prosperous Great Ming royal family and the True Martial Sect had information about this, it was the advantage of a profound lineage that had been passed down for ages.
As for the information Pei Xuanjing mentioned, he could only explain it through the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect, without many other reasons.
After all, at the height of the Shenxiao Sect’s glory, their influence was so great that even their Quanzhen lineage had to dodge their limelight.
No one could tell how many secrets the Feather Guest of Jinmen managed to obtain at the time.
“But how did Yang Tinghe discover this secret?” Pei Xuanjing was somewhat puzzled.
Daoist Xuanming thought this question was simple, he said indifferently, “Taoist friend, do not underestimate the Demonic Cult, their inheritance is no less profound than the Taoist School. If it weren’t for Ancestor Sanfeng who exterminated demons back then, the Demonic Cult wouldn’t be in decline today.”
In the entanglement between Taoism, Demonic Cult, and Buddhism that has lasted for so long, let’s not talk about Buddhism, an outsider group. The inheritances of Taoism and Demonic Cult have both been passed down for a long time and are not well Imown, it’s hard for anyone to know how much they have accumulated over so many years.
If it weren’t for the late period of the former dynasty when the Demonic Cult provoked Ancestor Sanfeng, being swept away in all four directions by him alone, including the execution of the Demonic
Cult leader, the Demonic Cult definitely wouldn’t have declined and become as decayed as it is today.
“Also, perhaps Taoist friend may not be aware, but the Blood Demon Yang Tinghe is also quite talented, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been considered a major threat by Xue Wuheng back then,” He spoke towards Pei Xuanjing.
“I see.” Pei Xuanjing nodded in understanding, a realization appearing in his heart.
Thus, it seems that the Blood Demon learned this information from the secrets of the Demonic Cult’s inheritance, which led him to plot and scheme, enduring decades of infiltration in the court.
Of course, there is also a possibility that he received related clues from the forbidden, blessed land where he was trapped.
Regardless of which one it is, some of the information should be accurate.
That is, this method should be true, or at least there’s a high probability, otherwise, he wouldn’t have put in so much effort to plan.
“I wonder if it’s possible to learn more about the specific layout?” , Pei Xuanjing asked curiously.
Daoist Xuanming shook his head, “It’s impossible. This kind of matter related to core secrets was protected by him through a unique method. It’S fundamentally hard to obtain.”
During the late period of the former dynasty, in order to extract clues from certain staunch criminals, the Yuan Empire created a Soul Capture Skill after multiple experiments and attempts. This allowed them to hypnotize criminals, who then let down their guard and spilled out the secrets they held deep within their hearts.
By relying on this bizarre and unique skill, they were able to deduce an innumerable amount of secrets.
Later, after the fall of the Yuan Empire, everyone thought that this skill had been lost and disappeared, but unexpectedly, Baiyun Temple acquired this skill and transformed it into one of their fundamental skills.
This time, if it weren’t for Yang Tinghe’s secrets that greatly intrigued Daoist Xuanming, and also his desire to show his value within their alliance, he absolutely wouldn’t have used this skill so easily..
