What the Seventh Patriarch of Sky-opening Sect had passed on to the cultivation world were not only the various Cultivation Methods, Divine Sense, and secret cultivation techniques, but also most of the other cultivation arts were inherited from these seven Laozu.
Among them, the most famous was Taoist Gui. This Laozu, who was known as the originator of alchemy, had made more achievements in alchemy than he had in other aspects of cultivation.
In fact, in addition to Taoist Gui, the other six members of the Seventh Patriarch of Sky-opening Sect also had their own strengths in other aspects. For example, Taoist Ape was good at controlling the spiritual veins in the world, searching for mineral veins, and brewing various spiritual wines and liquids; Peng Daoren had a special fondness for puppets; Luan Daoist was good at cultivating various spiritual herbs and spiritual materials; Taoist Chan's talisman-making technique was unparalleled in the world, and it was even rumored that the complete Seven-colored Restriction Breaking Talisman actually came from his inheritance; Taoist Hu had a set of secret crafting techniques; and Jiao Daoren was not only famous for his Divine Sense of swordsmanship known as "One Sword to Break All Things", but he was also the originator of formations in the cultivation world. One only needed to look at the Heavenly Poisonous Wall that had stood erect for tens of thousands of years to understand Jiao Daoren's attainments in formations.
At this time, according to the jade slip left by Kongwu Laozu, the origin of the scale in Lu Ping's hand was explained by the ancestors of the Kongming Sect from the Heavenly Poisonous Wall. Lu Ping could not tell whether it was true or not, so he just believed it for the time being.
Among the Seventh Patriarch of Sky-opening Sect, Peng Daoren had the Thunder Calabash of Seven Treasures, Taoist Ape had the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Luan Daoist had the Seven-Feather Fan, Taoist Chan had the Blood-Melting Needle, Taoist Hu had the Overlord Hammer, and even Taoist Gui had a Cauldron of Fate.
These six famous treasures left behind by the Seventh Patriarch in the process of splitting the heavens were called the Six Heavenly Artifacts of Splitting the Heavens!
As for Jiao Daoren, Laozu, who believed in "One Sword to Break All Things", never had a fixed flying sword in his hand. Furthermore, the flying swords he used were extremely ordinary, especially after Peng Daoren used the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash to suppress Jiao Daoren. As a result, people said that if Jiao Daoren also had a flying sword that was as famous as the Six Heaven Splitting Artifacts, the ranking of the Seventh Patriarch of Heaven Splitting Artifact would have to be rearranged.
This was something that many cultivators felt regretful about. It was rumored that when Daoist Jiao split open the heavens, he had at least six or seven flying swords in his hands. All of them broke due to being unable to bear the burden of splitting open the heavens. This showed that Daoist Jiao didn't have a single magic treasure that he could use.
This was also the reason why sword practitioners in the cultivation world would often use a flying sword as their life weapon at the beginning of their cultivation. In this way, the quality of the natal flying sword could be improved to the greatest extent. At least, it would not break easily in the process of fighting, so that the flying sword could become the shackles of one's strength.
Even the sword lineage, which regarded Jiao Daoren as the ancestor of sword cultivation, had to take this as a warning. Did Jiao Daoren not realize this problem?
From the point of view of the Kongming Sect's previous Laozu recorded by Kongming Laozu, Jiao Daoren had long realized this problem. He had also tried to create a suitable flying sword magic treasure, at least to the level of the Six Heavenly Artifacts of Splitting the Heavens.
The item that Jiao Daoren had tried to use to forge his natal flying sword was the horn of Jiao Daoren's truesoul. This treasure was originally the horn on the head of Jiao Daoren's truesoul.
In the past, before this world had been created, Jiao Daoren and Peng Daoren had fallen from the sky and landed in the westernmost part of the Western Wilderness, creating the source of the two major rivers of the Central Plains: the Qingming River and the Yulan River. Jiao Daoren's truesoul horn was broken when it fell into Sacred Fall Lake.
Unfortunately, when Jiao Daoren used this truesoul horn to find Taoist Hu, who was famous for refining weapons, he did not expect that Taoist Hu would refuse.
As for why Taoist Hu refused, although the ancestors of the Kongming Sect did not know the reason, they speculated that it was because Taoist Hu did not want Jiao Daoren's strength to be greatly improved, or because the other Laozu of Splitting the Heavens, especially Peng Daoren, secretly obstructed him.
It should be known that Jiao Daoren only took a flying sword casually, and his strength was only slightly weaker than that of Peng Daoren. If he really had a peerless flying sword, who among the Seventh Patriarch of Splitting the Heavens could be his opponent?
Although it was just a speculation of the Kongming Sect, this reasoning was extremely logical.
After Jiao Daoren's request to refine a flying sword was rejected by Taoist Hu, Jiao Daoren was so angry that he abandoned the truesoul horn. As for where Jiao Daoren threw it, no one knew except Jiao Daoren.
Later, Jiao Daoren mistakenly took a poisonous pill made by Taoist Gui and hurt his origin. He recuperated in the Secret Land of Perished and set up the Heavenly Poisonous Wall to prevent the poison derived from the poisonous pill.
During this period, Jiao Daoren seemed to start thinking about refining a flying sword again. But this time, Jiao Daoren did not intend to rely on others. Instead, he wanted to refine a natal flying sword by himself. Therefore, he left this scale, which recorded the secret method of carving divine thoughts and the Kongming Nine Formations.
Although Jiao Daoren wanted to refine a natal flying sword, he was not proficient in refining weapons. However, Jiao Daoren was a genius after all. Finally, he focused on his exquisite tactical formations. He concentrated nine exquisite tactical formations into nine Precious Prohibitions, and then carved Precious Prohibitions on the sword with the secret method of carving divine thoughts. In this way, as long as he found an excellent sword embryo, he could refine a natal flying sword by himself.
Needless to say, this so-called excellent sword embryo was the broken horn from Jiao Daoren's Body of the True Spirit!
Unfortunately, although Jiao Daoren figured out how to refine his own natal flying sword, he did not seem to have the time to do so. Later, when the Seventh Patriarch of the Sky Splitter mysteriously disappeared from the Northern Ice Field, this scale was left in the Heavenly Poisonous Wall. Later on, the ancestor of the Kongming Sect found it by chance.
After the ancestor of the Kongming Sect obtained this scale, he studied the secrets of this scale and used it as the foundation to establish the Kongming Sect, which became the number one tactical formation sect in the cultivation world.
However, the ancestors of the Kongming Sect did not give up searching for the Horn of the True Spirit. Unfortunately, they still did not find anything, so the Kongming Sect turned its attention to the large sects. They thought that a sacred object like the Horn of the True Spirit might have already been secretly hidden by the large sects with a long history.
Unfortunately, the cultivators of the large sects were not fools. Very quickly, they discovered the means that the Kongming Sect had left behind when they were building the sect-protecting tactical formations. Thus, the Kongming Sect immediately became the target of everyone and became the target of everyone. In the end, the Kongming Sect ended up being destroyed.
Inside the tactical formation, Lu Ping thought about the cause and effect of all this, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
At this time, above Lu Ping's core space, the golden horn with a slight arc had begun to have an inexplicable connection with the Dharma Power of the Dragon since Lu Ping had advanced to the Dharma Power stage.
After obtaining this object from the deepest part of the Sacred Lake, Lu Ping naturally guessed the identity of this horn immediately. However, the whole thing was obviously unbelievable, so Lu Ping was still skeptical. It was not until he obtained the explanation in the treasure of Kongwu on Yuan Ling Island that he was 70% convinced.
When he really held the scale in his hand, Lu Ping finally had no more doubts. The horn that he had obtained was very likely the object that Jiao Daoren had abandoned in the Sacred Lake after being rejected by Taoist Hu.
With the golden scale in hand, the Real Essence in Lu Ping's blood surged, and like a torrent, it was injected into the golden scale.
When the golden scale received Lu Ping's Real Essence, its surface suddenly flashed with a faint golden light, and the contents of the two secret techniques engraved on the surface of the scale became even more clear.
Lu Ping activated the [Three Pure True Pupils] and he could even see a faint bluish-purple light slowly seeping through the runes engraved on the surface of the scale. Underneath the golden light, Lu Ping could even see a faint bluish-purple light slowly seeping through the runes engraved on the scale.
The whole process lasted for a whole hour. If it were not for the purity of Lu Ping's Real Essence, ordinary cultivators would have used up most of their Real Essence just by refining it.
As the refinement of Lu Ping's Real Essence became deeper and deeper, the golden light on the surface of the entire scale became more and more dazzling, even with a layer of purple. When the scale was finally refined, the dazzling light also became a little bit, and then Lu Ping's palm suddenly became empty, and the entire scale suddenly disappeared.
Lu Ping's Divine Thought immediately sank into the Core Space. The moment the scale appeared inside, the Dharma Form of the Dragon had already wrapped it in the center of its body and flew around it.
Just as Lu Ping was quietly waiting for the Dharma Form of the Dragon to use the scale, he saw the huge head of the Dharma Form of the Dragon suddenly tilt up, suddenly revealing the inverted scale under its jaw. The golden scale seemed to be attracted at this moment, and slowly flew towards the jaw of the Dharma Form of the Dragon.
Lu Ping's Dharma Form of the Dragon was the condensation of the essence of the body. Although it had integrated a large amount of pure Yang Qi, it had not gone through the Thunder Tribulation after all. To put it bluntly, it did not have a physical body.
However, after the scale flew under the jaw of the Dharma Form, it merged with the inverted scale that was condensed from the essence of the body, causing the entire Dharma Form to have a physical body.
Golden and bluish-purple light suddenly exploded under the neck of the Dharma Form. During the process of the two fusing, the two secret techniques that were engraved on the golden scale and the original magic seed that was previously on the inverted scale appeared at the same time.
And at this moment, the entire surface of the Dharma Form of the Dragon also shone with a faint golden light because of the integration of the scale. The Dharma Form of the Dragon also seemed to be much more agile.
And after the scale had integrated with the inverted scale of the Dharma Form of the Dragon, the horn that had been hanging high above the Core Space finally moved a little. The Dharma Form of the Dragon spiraled upwards, surrounding the horn in the center. Wisps of Origin Qi began to gather towards the horn, but Lu Ping was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he began to calm down and think about these two new secret techniques.
If it were not for the fact that he had to turn this horn into a sword of true spirit before he went through the first Thunder Tribulation, Lu Ping would not have had to travel thousands of miles to the South Sea to find these two secret techniques after obtaining Kong Wu's legacy. In the end, he had no choice but to delay his advancement to the mid Dharma stage.
