#285 - Six-character mantra sticker
Gu Mingyue didn't refute Wu Changming's words, but instead spoke about an unrelated matter:
"Fellow Daoist, look, the water in this pool of faith is about to overflow. Is our sect's grand competition about to begin? After all, it involves the true inheritance positions of the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper. We can't afford even the slightest carelessness. It's best to prepare in advance and decide on the candidates, lest we delay the time and have the Water God's decree ceremony postponed. Right now, all the nobles and dignitaries outside are still waiting, especially Master is also waiting and watching. We can't delay the time because of the Daoist temple's competition."
Wu Changming nodded upon hearing this: "What you said is reasonable, but you don't need to worry about this, Junior Brother. I have my own arrangements."
"Hold on, why shouldn't I worry about it? This matter concerns me," Gu Mingyue said with a smile, like a smiling tiger.
"The ultimate goal of this competition is to determine the qualifications for the Seven Sons of the Northern Dipper and the Six Sons of the Southern Dipper. This is because I made contributions in obtaining the dragon blood and dragon essence. The Patriarch bestowed an extra opportunity, granting it to my lineage. What does it have to do with you?" Wu Changming said unhappily, raising his eyebrows in rebuttal.
Originally, the ten Celestial Masters under the Great Virtuous Teacher of the Yellow Heaven Dao each obtained one spot, and everyone competed for the remaining three spots. The previous competition of the Yellow Heaven Dao was to compete for Wu Changming's lineage's original spot.
But later, Wu Changming made great contributions in the battle for the dragon essence, and the Great Virtuous Teacher bestowed another opportunity, plus the Water God's blessing, so the opportunity for this competition changed, becoming this extra bestowed spot.
As for the previous spot, he had already secretly decided on it, leaving it to his son, and he had already embezzled it.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Wu Changming's words, Gu Mingyue immediately became unhappy: "Junior Brother, you're wrong. It was clearly me who won over the Pingbian Royal Mansion, allowing the Yellow Heaven Dao to completely take over the Northern Territory, plus your great contribution, that Master bestowed the extra spot. Moreover, the bestowed spot is not solely for your lineage, but for all Yellow Heaven Dao disciples in the Northern Territory."
"You… you… you're talking nonsense…" Wu Changming's anger rose from his heart upon hearing this.
"Hehe, there's no use in you getting anxious. I've already reported this matter to Master, and Master has already agreed to allow my lineage to join the competition. So, let's discuss how to hold the competition and settle things as soon as possible," Gu Mingyue said with a smile.
Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Wu Changming's face was gloomy: "I don't believe Master is so昏庸. I want to ask Master personally."
After saying that, Wu Changming closed his eyes, and a wave emanated from his body. Before long, he opened his eyes, glaring at Gu Mingyue: "Good you, Gu Mingyue, you are truly shameless. Master only said to make an exception and allow Zhang Xiaohua, the son of the Pingbian Royal Mansion, to participate in the competition. You actually changed the concept, saying that Master asked your lineage to participate in the competition. You are truly shameless."
Gu Mingyue smiled without changing his expression upon hearing this: "Why get angry, Junior Brother? It's just that I, as your elder brother, didn't express myself clearly. Why are you getting angry? I apologize to you."
"Hmph, that Zhang Xiaohua is just a纨绔子弟, with no martial arts foundation at all. Even if he participates in the competition, what use will he be? Senior Brother wants to reap the benefits, aren't you underestimating me too much?" Wu Changming said with sarcasm.
"That's not true. Does Junior Brother know why Master made an exception and asked Zhang Xiaohua to participate in this competition?" Gu Mingyue said with a smile.
"Isn't it just because of his identity as the son of the Pingbian Royal Mansion?" Wu Changming sneered.
"Wrong! Identity is important, but more important is that he previously bathed in the aura emitted by the ancient corpse and actually gave birth to a bloodline, obtaining a divine power," Gu Mingyue revealed Zhang Xiaohua's information without any scruples, just to打击 Wu Changming's momentum.
"What?" Wu Changming was shocked upon hearing this: "You're cheating! Letting a god who has awakened a divine power compete with mortals is simply cheating!"
…
Zhang Chen next door didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and was still happily absorbing the incense faith. This was simply his treasure land, with a large number of points coming in every day. This Yellow Heaven Dao was旺 him.
Zhang Chen smiled, the corners of his mouth raised, smiling very smugly. This was a treasure land, as long as he could苟住, he would be able to suppress the twelfth-order existence sooner or later.
Zhang Chen refined the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman day and night. In just three days, under the supply of his huge mana, the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman had already transformed from a golden state to a light state.
The material gold mysteriously disappeared under the refinement of mana, and only a phantom-like word sticker similar to a divine power appeared in Zhang Chen's hand.
Zhang Chen held the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman and looked at it for a long time before saying: "The refinement is now complete. Next, it will be necessary to rely on a large amount of incense faith to supply it, and then use the power of incense faith to enhance the power of the word sticker."
After muttering to himself, Zhang Chen returned to his small courtyard, and saw Xiaodouding practicing martial arts.
"Senior Sister."
Zhang Chen walked into the house and shouted at Xiaodouding, who was standing in a stance mobilizing his Qi and blood.
Xiaodouding slowly收功, and then looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes, and said old-fashionedly: "What do you want me to do?"
"I have found a way to solve your trouble, come over and let's try it," Zhang Chen said to Xiaodouding.
Xiaodouding's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You have a solution? How to solve my trouble?"
Zhang Chen closed the door, pulled Xiaodouding to sit on the bed, and then said to Xiaodouding very seriously: "You go out of your soul again, and push the palace out of the祖窍, remember to insist on one breath this time, whether it can solve the trouble depends on this time."
Xiaodouding's expression became serious, and he sat cross-legged on the bed very seriously. The next moment, a golden light flashed at the百会穴 at the top of his head, and the palace was slowly pushed out of Xiaodouding's眉心祖窍.
Zhang Chen looked at the palace, and as his heart moved, the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman directly turned into a golden streamer and drilled into the palace, entering the deepest part of the palace.
The next moment, the palace fell, Xiaodouding's body shook, and two lines of blood spurted out of his nose again.
"Junior Brother, my head hurts so much," Xiaodouding's voice was full of pain, looking at Zhang Chen with teary eyes.
"There will be an effect within seven days, don't be afraid, I have Senior Brother," Zhang Chen gently stroked Xiaodouding's head.
He could feel that after the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman fell into the palace, it seemed to evolve into a vortex, constantly drawing the power of faith in the palace, and even the phantom palace body slightly fluctuated, and the walls turned into the power of faith, which was re-decomposed and absorbed by the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman.
The Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman wants to achieve great success, and the power of faith it needs is endless and massive. Zhang Chen feels that even with the mere size of the entire Yellow Heaven Dao, it is really not enough to supply Zhang Chen's Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman to absorb and push it to the Mahayana state.
Time seemed to slip into a slow flow again, and the days calmed down. In the afternoon, a notice was posted at the Taoist temple: "Three days later, the Taoist temple will hold a grand competition. Whoever wins can receive the blessing of the Water God and become a subordinate god of the Water God. From then on, they will ascend to the heavens in one step and evolve from a mortal into a god who controls incredible power."
Most importantly, the winner can be recognized by the Huangtian Dao as one of the Dao children, ranking among the Six Stars of the South Dipper and the Seven Stars of the North Dipper. In the future, they will surely control the power of the Huangtian Dao and become the absolute core.
Inside the small building,
Zhang Chen and Xiaodouding rarely weren't cultivating. Instead, they sat in the house brewing tea.
"Zhang Chen, the sect's grand competition is in three days. Do you have confidence?" Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chen, a hint of caution in her eyes.
"It's nothing more than that. With Wei Yingwu of the Taoist temple dead, there is no one else who can achieve anything," Zhang Chen said with a smile, his face full of confidence.
Of course, he wasn't coveting the positions of the Six Stars of the South Dipper or the Seven Stars of the North Dipper, nor was he coveting the position of a subordinate god of the Water God. He wanted to climb to a higher level in the Huangtian Dao and obtain a higher-level mantra of the Qi Refiner.
Only by climbing higher would there be more opportunities.
"You can't be careless. This competition is not just for the experts of Huangli Temple, but involves all the Taoist temples under the command of Patriarch Wu Changming. Everyone will compete for this opportunity." Xiaodouding looked at Zhang Chen, knowing many inside stories:
"At the very top of the Huangtian Dao is the Great Virtuous Teacher, the founder of the Huangtian Dao, the incarnation of Huangtian. Below him are the Ten Celestial Masters, each controlling the ten regions of the Huangtian Dao. The Six Stars of the South Dipper and the Seven Stars of the North Dipper are deduced by the Great Virtuous Teacher, those who are destined to prosper the Huangtian Dao in the future, reflecting the Mandate of Heaven and can be conferred as Innate Gods in the future. The Six Stars of the South Dipper plus the Seven Stars of the North Dipper total thirteen places, and the Ten Celestial Masters each get one place. The remaining three places are randomly distributed. This time, Huangli Temple has done a great job, and the entire northern region has been included in the scope of the Huangtian Dao's evangelism. The Great Virtuous Teacher has specially bestowed a place, and what we have to compete for this time is this place." Cheng Yu's voice was full of caution.
"There are no opponents in our Taoist temple that you need to pay attention to, but in the other three hundred large and small Taoist temples, there are quite a few people with outstanding talents. Among them, the three most worthy of your attention are: One is from Huanghua Temple: Chu Mingyue. Her martial arts cultivation has already entered the Dark Force realm. I heard people say that she has already ignited her martial arts blood. This time, Huanghua Temple has invested heavily in order to win the spot. The second is from Huangniu Temple: Wu Minger. It is said that he has also refined his martial arts blood under the cultivation of the Taoist temple, and even under the stimulation of martial arts blood, he has actually awakened the power of his bloodline. The third is from Huangfeng Temple: Li Donglai. Although this person has not refined his Dark Force, he is born with bronze skin and iron bones and can lift a tripod. He was personally brought back by Patriarch Wu Changming."
"Apart from these three people, the rest are nothing more than ordinary people who haven't even mastered Dark Force," Xiaodouding's voice was full of arrogance.
Zhang Chen's heart moved when he heard this. During the competition, he couldn't use many of his methods. The only things he could use were probably the secret Immobilization Talisman and ultrasonic waves. He didn't dare to underestimate martial arts experts who had refined their blood.
"It's a pity that I'm too young to participate, otherwise, where would they have a share?" Xiaodouding's voice was full of regret.
"Could it be that there are no people in the other Taoist temples who have refined their blood?" Zhang Chen thought of the blood-refined experts in the Inspection Department, as well as the blood-refined experts in the Pingbian Palace. There were groups of them, so how could there only be three martial arts blood experts in the three hundred Taoist temples of Wu Changming's lineage? This is very unscientific.
"If you want to awaken martial arts blood, the first condition is to step into Dark Force. Only by using Dark Force to cleanse your muscles and bones and let the dragon blood permeate in can you have a chance to awaken your blood. This one condition excludes 99% of the people in the Taoist temples. It is already rare for the younger generation to refine Dark Force before the age of thirty. Furthermore, the dragon blood contains bestiality. If you want to completely activate the blood, you must suppress and wipe out its bestiality. This is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. There are only three people in the younger generation who have such willpower. This is definitely not a small number," Xiaodouding said very solemnly.
Zhang Chen's heart suddenly became clear when he heard this. Although he looked down on Dark Force martial artists, it didn't mean that Dark Force martial artists were weak. On the contrary, if you want to master Dark Force, you need to put in a lot of effort. Not only do you need to study hard, but you also need to have enough luck.
Xiaodouding babbled a lot more to Zhang Chen, and then went to practice martial arts. This competition had nothing to do with her, and she didn't go to join in the fun.
"Martial arts blood?" Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully. Martial artists who cultivate martial arts blood have already transformed from humans to non-humans, and can be called supermen. If he doesn't use his skills, it will be really troublesome to deal with them, but it's just a little troublesome.
Xiaodouding went to practice martial arts, and Zhang Chen stood in the courtyard thinking about the grand competition in three days. After all, this martial arts competition was of great importance. If he wanted to climb up and show his talent, he had to reach the top. Ascending to the heavens in one step and directly becoming one of the Six Stars of the South Dipper and the Seven Stars of the North Dipper was the simplest shortcut. At that time, he could become a high-level member of the Huangtian Dao. Wouldn't it be easy to seize the secrets?
"No one can stop me from reaching the top! Not even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu," Zhang Chen secretly made up his mind.
Just as he made up his mind, a light flashed outside the courtyard, and then Wu Changming, with a difficult expression, appeared at the gate.
When Zhang Chen saw Wu Changming, his heart skipped a beat. This was someone who could compete with Xie Xuan!
Since coming to Huangli Temple, Zhang Chen had never seen Wu Changming again. He thought that this guy had already left, but who knew that he would appear again at this time?
"Don't panic! Wu Changming may not know my identity. What am I panicking about? I am just an ordinary disciple of Huangli Temple," Zhang Chen said to himself.
Back then, when he fought Zhang Shicheng in the cave and met Wu Changming, although his mask was broken later and he exposed his true face, two months had passed from that time to now. Because of the evolution of the Blood Control Technique, Zhang Chen's appearance and temperament were already very different from what they used to be. Even if he called his stepmother, she might not be able to recognize his appearance. He didn't believe that Wu Changming could still recognize him.
After Wu Changming came out of the underground secret room, he felt a burst of frustration in his heart. This was clearly a credit obtained by his lineage, but now it was very likely to be taken away by others. He felt extremely frustrated in his heart, but he was helpless.
Wu Changming was so angry that he wandered around the Taoist temple to relax. Just as he was walking halfway, when he passed Zhang Chen's courtyard, Wu Changming's eyes suddenly turned: "It seems that there is a way to reverse it, after all, this ancestor is still here."
This ancestor is amazing! This is the real master!
The old prince of Pingbian Palace is strong enough to transform into a dragon, right? But wasn't he still defeated by this kid?
The world only knows that Xie Xuan killed the dragon, but who knows that the real mastermind is this kid?
If he can get this kid to win, wouldn't all the troubles be solved? Then let's see how arrogant Gu Mingyue is!
