"What! This isn't a cultivation test? "Dong Yan was dumbstruck. He thought this was related to cultivation, that was why he tried so hard to copy it!
A month after Dong Yan was tormented by Yao Li and Dong Yan, he followed them to King City so that the two elders could reunite with the Jiang Family's grandchildren and enjoy the last moments of family happiness.
King City's Jiang Family was the residence of Jiang Yuanchen's younger brother. He brought Yao Li to a small courtyard in the back to talk to Dong Yan.
"It's not completely unrelated." Next to Jiang Yuanchen were the scriptures that Dong Yan had copied over the past month: "At least it can reduce your hostility, right? Has the depression in your heart been cleared up? "
"… …"
"Moreover, these books are indeed peerless Daoist scriptures, and they contain the understanding of the Grand Daos of the Heavens and Earth by our seniors. If you can comprehend a book, then not to mention us teaching you cultivation techniques, it wouldn't be a problem for you to comprehend a technique to attain immortality." Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "But looking at your current situation, you haven't truly comprehended it, right? But now that your injuries have healed, we can discuss your future path. I can't teach you high level immortal methods, but I can point you in a direction. "A Man Chess Beast card appeared in Jiang Yuanchen's hand:" Come, play cards with me. "
What is this! Dong Yan frowned, but he still sat opposite Jiang Yuanchen and played cards with him.
Man Chess Beast card, because of the hobby of the senior at the top of Gold Spring Peak, this game was also passed down in the outer sect. This was a game to enlighten and identify spirit beasts and strange beasts, allowing them to understand the living habits of various spirit beasts.
It was still the simplest "evolution method", each person would choose a beast card and then draw a card to complete the evolution of this beast card. The first to evolve into a top level divine beast would be the winner.
Jiang Yuanchen chose black carp, a type of water fish that could be seen everywhere. Yao Li was a spider, an insect. And Dong Yan's first draw was a snake.
"Sure enough, this is fate." Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "Doesn't the bloodline in your body also come from a snake demon?"
"… …" Dong Yan didn't refute, he had gradually accepted his new identity: "Seniors, then let me go first." As he spoke, he was the first to summon the little snake from the chessboard and took three cards from the special card deck at the side.
In this kind of evolution method, the three people used the same card deck, all of which were special cards. For example, phoenix blood, dragon scales, which could catalyze the transformation of dragons and phoenixes, or vitality cards like the essence of the five elements.
"Then I'll choose the location." Yao Li chose the most suitable location for himself, a dense forest. Be it the spider, the demon snake, or even Jiang Yuanchen's black carp, they were all here. However, the black carp stayed in the pond in the beginning, away from the spiders and demon snakes on the trees.
This chessboard was an illusion board specially made by Jiang Yuanchen to evolve this kind of spirit beast. Therefore, the scenery of the mountains and rivers in the illusion disc was also vivid and lifelike. Inside, there were black fish sucking water from the pool, demon snakes slithering on the trees, and spiders weaving their own webs. Jiang Yuanchen shrugged: "Then you guys go first."
Jiang Yuanchen shrugged. "Then I'll let you go first."
Jiang Yuanchen shrugged: "Then you guys go first."
The seven feet long purple snake spat out its tongue and coiled into a circle. Dong Yan then covered the special card he drew on it.
"Use the Azure Dragon's Blood to make the demon snake transform into a dragon!" A drop of dark red blood appeared on the demon snake's head. Then, the scales slowly became thicker, and dragon whiskers and horns gradually grew out. "End of round!" You can't attack in the first round.
"Next is me!" Yao Li didn't wait for Jiang Yuanchen to speak and took the second spot.
"Wood begets fire, combine the fire essence and wood essence of the Five Element Plate, and evolve the demon spider into a Ground Fire Spider." First, a green tree branch appeared, then a ball of fire ignited the branch, and finally, a fireball was thrown into the spider's body, turning it into a big red fire spider.
"Ground Fire Spider, I don't remember there being a spider type divine beast in the Divine Beast Chart?" Dong Yan was a little confused. Even when he was in the outer sect, he had come into contact with the Kyushu Spirit Beasts and Strange Beasts. Spiders weren't that strong, right?
"Spiders have three basic evolutionary paths: Five Element Spider, Ghost Face Spider, and Dragon Spider." Yao Li explained while controlling his demon spider to attack the demon snake.
"Spiders, centipedes, and snakes that are closest to true dragons, are all existences that can transform into dragons. Kill your demon snake and complete the Fire Spider's dragon transformation. "
The difference between the Fire Spider and the demon snake could be seen at this moment. Why did Yao Li deliberately throw two Essence Plates into the demon spider's body and turn it into a fire attribute? It was because he wanted to defeat the demon snake that had transformed into a dragon.
"Because this way, the demon spider's attack power is a level higher than the demon snake's!" Dong Yan smiled bitterly. He could only sit and watch as his demon snake was bitten to death. Finally, it was tied up by the spider's web and slowly devoured by the spider.
A perfect simulation, this was Jiang Yuanchen's illusion board. Based on the base numbers of the two demon beasts, the combat power was compared, and even the geographical advantage of the surrounding environment was taken into account.
In the end, the demon snake died, and the demon spider evolved a step further. Dragon patterns appeared on its body.
"It's my turn!" Jiang Yuanchen saw Dong Yan choose a snake card from the spirit beast plate at the side and smiled: "Then I will follow you guys and transform into a dragon."
"Dragon transformation? You are not going to follow the path of the Kun Peng? " Yao Li frowned. The Kun Peng and the Nine Phoenix were the most commonly used divine beast evolution methods by Jiang Yuanchen. Now, he actually chose to transform into a dragon?
"Use 《Azure Dragon's Scale》 to transform into a dragon!" Jiang Yuanchen threw out a special card, and a golden dragon scale landed on the forehead of the black carp. Gradually, the fish scale turned into a dragon scale, and a dragon fish blew bubbles in the water.
"The round is over, it's your turn again." Jiang Yuanchen said to Dong Yan. Because the demon beasts in the water would definitely have their strength reduced when they came ashore, he didn't attack at all.
Dong Yan hesitated for a moment and took out another card: "Sun Essence, Moon Essence, use these two cards to give the demon snake five hundred years of cultivation." After the demon snake obtained five hundred years of cultivation, it grew dragon horns again. Four lumps slowly appeared on its abdomen, and it started to transform into a Jiao.
"Create the Tide!" After Dong Yan used the last card in his hand, water vapor appeared around the demon snake. Then, it turned into a Mystic Water Jiao Dragon and dove into the pool.
"Attack the dragon fish, seize the dragon energy in its body!" Dong Yan killed Jiang Yuanchen's dragon fish in one go, and it entrenched itself in the pool, allowing the Jiao Dragon to obtain more dragon energy.
Jiang Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, and he didn't say anything. He silently took out another card from the side. But this time, he didn't place it in the pool, but in the forest — White Fur Fox.
Next, he didn't care about the demon snake in the pool, and used another Fire Element Card to strengthen the Dragon Spider Queen to attack the fox, killing it again, not giving Jiang Yuanchen a chance to make a move. This was because he understood that in the illusion of the pool, the Fire Spider would be completely suppressed by the Water Jiao Dragon. This was the charm of this kind of beast card. It completely simulated the various laws in reality, which was why it was sought after by cultivators, and could increase their knowledge of demon beasts. During the battle between humans and demons, this kind of card would flourish, and it was also used to find the demon beasts' weaknesses.
Next, Jiang Yuanchen started his own round again, but the new water turtle that he summoned with great difficulty was also killed by Dong Yan in the next round.
"…" Jiang Yuanchen looked at the two of them with a smile that wasn't a smile: "You guys are determined not to let me make a move!"
The two of them laughed, and in tacit agreement, they wouldn't give Jiang Yuanchen a chance to evolve the demon beast of his choice in the next five rounds.
"Success!" After Dong Yan drew a new card, his heart was filled with joy. His Jiao Dragon already had three thousand years of cultivation, perhaps it would be more suitable to call it Winged Dragon.
"A snake turns into a Jiao in five hundred years, a Jiao turns into a Dragon in a thousand years, and after another one thousand and five hundred years, it becomes a Winged Dragon." This was a saying in the cultivation world, and it was also suitable in the chessboard. Yinglong did not refer to a dragon with a lifespan of one thousand five hundred years, but three thousand years!
However, Winged Dragon wasn't the highest level divine beast, because it hadn't experienced the Heavenly Tribulation, so it wasn't considered a Heavenly Dragon. However, the card that Dong Yan just drew was the Heavenly Lightning Card, a divine card used to refine the demon spirit for the final step of evolution.
A thundercloud appeared on the chessboard, and a winged divine dragon pounced towards the thundercloud to complete its evolution.
"Sneak attack!" Yao Li's face was solemn, and he forcefully used the Fire Spider to launch a sneak attack.
"According to its habits, it has to be careful of other people's attacks when undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation!" Although Yao Li's Fire Spider died from the backlash of the Heavenly Lightning, it was still the final step to stop Winged Dragon.
"Round over!" Dong Yan ended his round, "However, Senior, the explanation given by the barbarian chess is that it isn't a complete Heavenly Dragon. As long as I recover from my injuries, I'll be considered to have won the next round."
"No rush, no rush. Who knows, I might even be able to turn the tables!" Yao Li chose another demon horse. He began his own evolution.
"Use the Water Essence to give it five hundred years of spiritual energy, and use the Hetu to transform it into a Dragon Horse!" Yao Li began his evolution methodically.
Jiang Yuanchen's eyelids twitched. The Dragon Horse that Yao Li evolved was clearly the Dragon Horse on his own Hetu! After all, this was the barbarian chess that Jiang Yuanchen had carved himself. Naturally, the relationship between Hetu and the Dragon Horse was recorded within. Through Hetu, an ordinary Demon Horse could evolve into a special Dragon Horse.
Following that, Yao Li fiddled with the cards in his hand for a while. The Dragon Horse was sealed in a cocoon of light, "Next, I just need to use Hetu's Return to Origin ability. After two rounds, I'll be able to evolve into a Heavenly Dragon." Using Hetu was a way to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation. In the past, Jiang Yuanchen had used this method to trick Yao Li many times. These were all bloody experiences.
"In other words, when Dong Yan's round arrives, the two of you will be able to complete your Heavenly Dragon evolution!" Jiang Yuanchen suddenly sighed, "But do you think I'll give you this chance?" He drew his own card and unconsciously smiled, then spoke.
"Then, please defeat our spiritual beasts." Yao Li and Dong Yan didn't think that Jiang Yuanchen would be able to win in one round. After all, even his attack could only interrupt one person's evolution, right? Could it be the Nine-headed Snake or the Nine-headed Phoenix that could attack multiple times?
"Hehe!" Jiang Yuanchen spread out the five cards in his hand in the shape of a five-pointed star.
"Azure Dragon's Horn, Azure Dragon's Scale, Azure Dragon's Blood, Azure Dragon's Claw, and Azure Dragon's Pearl. The five Azure Dragons have been gathered. Do I still need to say more about what's next? Receive the spring thunder of the earth and awaken from the depths of the earth, Azure Dragon King! "
The five-pointed star formation dropped five lightning bolts on the chessboard in the dense forest, and a green Heavenly Dragon flew out from the depths of the forest. Azure Dragon, a natural Divine Beast, an ancient Beast King. According to the Aquamarine Goddess' memories, among the fifty-six Daojun, one of them was a Azure Dragon.
The chessboard shook, then fireworks exploded one after another to celebrate Jiang Yuanchen's victory. Yao Li and Dong Yan were stunned for a long time. They could only smile bitterly and fold their cards.
Among the four Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise were all natural Divine Beasts. Other than using their mediums to transform into dragons and phoenixes, they could also gather a complete set of Divine Beast summons. This was another way to win.
"Still want to play?" Jiang Yuanchen asked the two with a smile.
"No!" Dong Yan stood up and said solemnly, "Disciple understands Senior's meaning. The Barbarian Chess Beast Card is originally a method for taming beasts. Senior wants me to choose this path, right? "
Jiang Yuanchen smiled, "That's right. You are the son of a human demon, and the demon blood in your body has already been stimulated. Why don't you make good use of it? However, as someone who came from Taixu Taoism, what is a demon and what is a spirit? You should be clear about this. " Jiang Yuanchen smiled lightly and put away the cards, "These are just cards that are a collection of illusion techniques. You can kill demon beasts and collect real beast cards. Every beast card is a great help. I will also teach you an inspiration technique as the foundation for you to gather vitality and train your spiritual sense. As for offensive Dao techniques, you can rely on the Barbarian Chess Beast Card or search for them yourself as a rogue cultivator. My help to you is limited to this. " Because Jiang Yuanchen was worried that he would make a move against Taixu Taoism, he did not teach him powerful offensive methods. But at the same time, he was also worried that he would be hurt by outsiders, so he taught him the method of taming beasts so that he would be able to protect himself.
Moreover, this way, he would be able to account to Taixu Taoism. Not only would Dong Yan's Dao path not harm the interests of Taixu Taoism.
Dong Yan also thought about it clearly. These days, these two seniors deliberately made him copy the scriptures. Most likely, they wanted to tell him a principle. The method of cultivation is not in the method, but in the Dao.
The Dao is everywhere and all-encompassing. Although these Dao scriptures are difficult to understand, they are all summarized by the experience of the seniors. And the Barbarian Chess Beast Card looks like a game, but it also contains the principles of the changes of the five elements and the path of evolution of the spirit beasts.
"I can lend this Nine Phoenix Soul Essence Jade Token to you for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you can return it to me." Jiang Yuanchen handed the Nine Phoenix Token that he had sealed to Dong Yan. But just as Dong Yan was about to take it, Jiang Yuanchen raised his hand. "No matter what the bloodline in your body is, you must remember the path of good and evil. I can help you walk the path of immortality, but if you have ulterior motives and harm the Human race, then I will naturally find a way to settle the score with you in the future! "
"This junior swears that in this life, I will only cultivate to become an immortal. I will definitely not use immortal techniques to bully the weak and harm the Human race. If I go against this, I am willing to die from a mountain of knives!"
Vows are not easily made. In the unseen world, it will be sensed by the great Daojun Yuheng. Then, he will be very happy to kill you if you go against your vows. If you don't keep your promises, how can you achieve Dao if your Dao heart is not strong?
The Blue Crystal Goddess is a goddess who descended from the outer world. She evolved from the Blue Tribe in the East Sea and achieved Dao. The world she was originally from was destroyed when the Realm King of her world went through the tribulation of the great Daojun Yuheng. Because he had broken his vows in the past, he was killed by the great Daojun Yuheng through the karma tribulation.
The strongest person in a world, a supreme existence who had merged with the Dao. When that great god was breaking through to the Daojun realm, he was stopped by the great Daojun Yuheng. In the end, not only did he die, but the entire world was also in turmoil. The Blue Crystal Goddess was originally a small god who had just entered the Divine Dao. By chance, she was reincarnated into this Kyushu world. She obtained the permission of the god Juyan Tenjin to cultivate in the East Sea.
Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to the void, and refining the void to merge with the Dao. After the four great realms, they were known as the Daojun. Because the Daojun was truly an undying and indestructible existence, his spirit was attached to the Void Universe, and his true spirit was immortal, the head of the great Daojun Yuheng Daojun made a great vow to create a tribulation to eliminate a large number of unqualified cultivators and prevent the Dao of Eternity from spreading. However, it was said that it was also because the great Daojun Yuheng made a great vow to obstruct the Dao that he was unable to become the seventh Daozun.
Karma. This was the thing that left the deepest impression in the Blue Crystal Goddess' memories. Karma oaths should never be made carelessly, and one should never break through to the Daojun realm before the oath was completed. Otherwise, the great Daojun Yuheng would show you what the might of a Daojun was like!
With regards to this, Jiang Yuanchen himself had a deep understanding of it. Back then, he had said resolutely that he was a cultivator and didn't care about relationships. In the end, he was instantly entangled by the great Daojun Yuheng. At that time, Jiang Yuanchen was so angry that he just wanted to slap himself. It turned out to be a prophecy. If Jiang Yuanchen had not successfully ended the trial, he might not have been able to be investigated by the Dao Lord just because he had violated his oath.
"Alright, since you've made the oath, all you have to do is to stay true to your heart. Now, go and choose an inspirational cultivation technique." Jiang Yuanchen waved his sleeves and Dong Yan fainted on the ground. His soul was dragged into the Dream Realm by Jiang Yuanchen.
The Dream Realm was a divine domain created by Jiang Yuanchen's spirit. Other than the Dream Tower and the Kyushu Sand Table, there was also a corridor — this was where Jiang Yuanchen kept his books.
After Dong Yan entered this place in a daze, he saw a ten-coloured spiritual light dancing in front of him. Each spiritual light was imprisoned on a bookshelf. The huge bookshelf had hundreds of shelves and was ten feet tall. In the corridor, there were hundreds of bookshelves, forming this huge corridor.
"If the cultivation techniques on these bookshelves are fated to be with you, they will light up. You can choose one yourself." Jiang Yuanchen's voice came from above, echoing continuously in the corridor.
Jiang Yuanchen had collected a lot of books. The real physical copies were definitely left in his Chunyang Dao Palace. And those unique copies were sent to Lang Ying Palace as part of the sect's inheritance. But most of the books that Jiang Yuanchen read would form a projection in the Dream Realm. This was the inspiration that Jiang Yuanchen got from Mo Tian Crown Prince. It was also a method that he would use to deal with the Sky Demon in the future. He would use the spiritual light condensed from the predecessors in this corridor to block the Sky Demon's attack.
Taixu Taoism books, Tianmen Realm books, East Sea Dragon Palace books, and even books that were formed from the spiritual light born from the dreams of all living beings. These books increased Jiang Yuanchen's knowledge, allowing him to see beyond the Jindan level.
Dong Yan's heart was filled with admiration. After looking at these books, he found that many of them were dim. Because Fu Ming did not allow the books of Taixu Taoism to be spread to outsiders, these books had no fate with Dong Yan. There were also many books that specifically restricted the physique of cultivators, which also had no fate with Dong Yan.
Finally, Dong Yan stood in front of a bookshelf. After the spiritual light of the sealed books sensed Dong Yan's existence, they all wanted to jump out.
"These ancient books are very suitable for you. You can choose based on your senses." Jiang Yuanchen said slowly.
After a while, Dong Yan chose a green spiritual light, which then turned into a page of Psychic Sensing Scripture.
"This is a cultivation technique that I found when I was traveling the Tianmen Realm." Jiang Yuanchen explained, "This cultivation technique allows you to sense the Heaven and Earth. It can train your spirit and can breathe in and out the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. However, there is no special cultivation technique. So, you can use the beast card of Beast Taming Immortal Cultivation to defend yourself. In addition, all living beings have a spirit. This sentence seems to be useful to you. You can try to understand it. "After that, Dong Yan's soul was sent back to his body by Jiang Yuanchen.
…
In the following time, Dong Yan would ask Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanchen about cultivation techniques from time to time, or he would study the Beast Taming Immortal Cultivation's Man Chess Beast Card. Jiang Yuanchen's beast card was only a game. However, there was another way to use real beast cards to fight with each other. Then, the winner could choose a beast card from the loser to add to their deck. A complete set of beast cards required at least ten demon beast cards. Dong Yan would need to collect demon beasts for a long time in the future.
Time passed quickly, and finally, it was the end of Jiang Yuanchen's parents' lifespan.
On this day, Jiang Yuanchen's parents were enjoying their great-grandson. Jiang Yuanchen's younger brother was only a few years younger than him, and he was already in his fifties. His three sons and five daughters all had their own families, and there were also great-grandchildren around the two elders.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuanchen's father felt something and said to Jiang Yuanchen's mother, "You and I have obtained Chen 'er's great ability to borrow the sky for 20 years. Now, the time limit is finally up."
Although there was great terror between life and death, it was something that they had known 20 years ago. Although there was a period of fear in the past, they could face it calmly now. Jiang Yuanchen had given up his Taoist incarnation for the sake of the two elders. What else could the two elders ask for?
They gathered everyone around them. After saying their last words, they closed their eyes peacefully. In Jiang Yuanchen's eyes, the two vital fires were extinguished.
Unknowingly, one of Jiang Yuanchen's karma was severed. This was his mortal mother-son, father-son relationship. Now, it had completely disappeared.
"The arrangements for the funeral have been prepared." After a moment of silence, Jiang Chongjiu said to his elder brother, "Brother, are you going back to the mountain too? Do you have to wait until the first of May? "
Jiang Yuanchen nodded. "Immortals and mortals are two different worlds. I won't enter the mortal world so easily in the future. Let's talk about it after I've guarded the two elders for 49 days." 49 days was just enough for him to celebrate his 60th birthday. Because of his parents' matters, he couldn't celebrate his birthday.
After that, he wore mourning clothes and buried his parents. Everything had been prepared. The geomancy was chosen by Jiang Yuanchen himself, and the coffin was made of century-old spiritual wood that Jiang Chongjiu asked someone to find.
Everything was in order. Even the King of Chu State came during the mourning. As Mu Qingyi's younger brother, he was about the same age as Jiang Chongjiu. After offering incense, he sat with Jiang Yuanchen for a while before returning to the palace.
