Fangcun Mountain.
"Master."
Lei Zhan walked into the Daoist temple on the mountain.
Patriarch Bodhi remained seated cross-legged on the futon, as if time and space around him had stood still, as if eternally unchanging.
"You've arrived." Patriarch Bodhi looked over, a gentle smile on his face. "What is it?"
"After I killed Shaoyan Chou, I obtained a treasure by chance. I was only able to fully unlock its secrets after breaking through to the Second Primordial Spirit and then to the true god. Thus, I obtained some secret techniques and methods of the Chaos Alien Race."
" The Chaos Alien Race's Dharma?" Patriarch Bodhi looked over.
"Yes. I think these methods would be of some use to both Master and Tathagata, so I made a copy using the Water Mirror Technique and brought it to Master."
Lei Zhan had a smile on his face.
The origins of these methods and secret techniques are nine parts true and one part false, according to Lei Zhan.
Of course, it's fine if you don't Lei Zhan it at all.
However, among these eight methods, there is one called " Eighteen Taowu God-Devils," and seeing this method, it's hard not to make Patriarch Bodhi think of something.
Therefore, Lei Zhan simply laid everything out in the open.
Most importantly, Lei Zhan is now also a powerful being at the level of True God Dao Ancestor. In fact, the combined strength of his main body, Second Primordial Spirit, and thirty-six avatars is at least not much weaker than that of Patriarch Bodhi.
Even in terms of apparent strength, the combined strength of the main body and the Second Primordial Spirit is considered quite good among many top True God Dao Ancestor.
With greater strength comes greater autonomy in many matters.
Offering up the Dharma is nothing in comparison.
"Oh? A secret technique?" Patriarch Bodhi was surprised.
His disciple's main body and Second Primordial Spirit were both true gods, which made Lei Zhan speak in such a way, immediately making Patriarch Bodhi take it seriously.
Lei Zhan flipped his hand, and a bamboo scroll appeared in his palm. "The eight great methods that this disciple obtained are all recorded in this bamboo scroll."
Patriarch Bodhi immediately accepted it and began to examine it with his mind.
Upon closer inspection...
It took a full hour and a half.
Patriarch Bodhi was completely absorbed in the Lei Zhan. He found a meditation cushion, sat down, and waited silently to the side.
" Lei Zhan, this method... what a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck!" Patriarch Bodhi's face was filled with boundless joy as he looked at Lei Zhan and said, "You really... this method has been a great help to us! Even I find some of the techniques within it very useful!"
Lei Zhan smiled.
He was willing to give it up because it was useful to his two masters, as a way of helping them.
"What can Master use, perhaps the Lang Talisman and the last one, the < Ice-Fire Tempering Golden Elixir Technique >?" Lei Zhan asked Patriarch Bodhi with a smile.
The seven major methods inscribed on the World Prison Stele, plus the < Ice-Fire Golden Core Refining Method >, make a total of eight major methods.
Among them, the Lang Talisman is the method for creating Dao Talisman.
The methods for making each of these Dao Talisman are kept secret, but Dao Talisman can be prepared in advance.
When it comes to actual combat, it's like a powerful, one-time-use magic weapon; by using a large number of Dao Talisman to smash the opponent to death, it can kill them.
Patriarch Bodhi glanced at Lei Zhan and nodded, saying, "Of these eight methods, these two are indeed the most useful to me. Especially the last one, the method for enhancing the Golden Core, which is of great use to the powerful figures on our side. However..."
Patriarch Bodhi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "However, the Dao Ancestor level requires far too much Nine Flame Paste and Ice Heart Marrow. Suiren obtained a great deal of Nine Flame Paste when he roamed the Chaos in ancient times, enough to supply the Dao Ancestor several times, but this Ice Heart Marrow..."
"In the Three Realms... is there perhaps no Ice Heart Marrow?" Lei Zhan asked, frowning.
To cultivate this < Ice-Fire Tempering Golden Elixir Technique >, one must have the ' Nine Flame Paste ' and the ' Ice Heart Marrow '. These two Chaos treasures are considered to be of medium quality among all Chaos treasures, and they only appear in large quantities.
However, if there is no Ice Heart Marrow around the Three Realms, then there is only one way to obtain this treasure...
" Ice Heart Marrow..." Patriarch Bodhi began, " Ice Heart Marrow usually grows in the Endless Ice Sea within Chaos. And in the depths of Chaos beyond my Three Realms, there exists an Endless Ice Sea."
"In the ancient era of Pangu, the Goddess Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Suiren all roamed the Endless Chaos and discovered this icy sea, even obtaining some of its contents. But that place is incredibly dangerous..."
"It's good that there are such things around my Three Realms!" Lei Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. But upon closer reflection, it wasn't surprising that there were Chaos wonders like the Ice Heart Marrow around the Three Realms.
It should be noted that when the creator of Moonlit Pool, the World God Beixiu, fled to the vicinity of the Three Realms, he was incredibly frantic, venturing into almost any dangerous or deadly place, ultimately shattering even the Eternal Divine Weapon, Ziguang Qiong.
The World God Beixiu was reduced to a mere remnant soul who escaped to the vicinity of the Three Realms. Apart from an Eternal Divine Weapon, he could not possibly be carrying any other treasures or rare items.
Therefore, the Ice Heart Marrow in the Moonlit Pool must have a source!
"Unfortunately, such a profound method requires ten thousand catties of Nine Flame Paste and ten thousand catties of Ice Heart Marrow to upgrade True Immortal Golden Core from the third to the second grade."
"And to upgrade the Daluo Golden Core, it would require a hundred times more. Otherwise, the Qi Refining Path Dao Ancestor in my Nuwa Faction could all have improved their strength by a whole level."
"Even with just their Golden Core, the Daluo Dao Ancestor can rival leaders. If their understanding of the Dao is profound enough, each of them possesses the combat power of a leader!"
"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded.
The Qi Refining Path Dao Ancestor in the Three Realms all cultivate the Third-Grade Golden Core.
If they are tempered by the < Ice-Fire Golden Core Refining Method >, then everyone can be upgraded to Second-Grade Golden Core.
The second-class Ancestor Immortal, though only the Ancestral God among the Ancestral God, is still Ancestral God!
This is comparable even on a basic level! It doesn't even require an understanding of the Dao or powerful magical artifacts!
"Let's go, let's go!" Patriarch Bodhi excitedly stepped down from the futon, grabbed Lei Zhan's hand, and headed towards the Time and Space portal that had suddenly appeared in the air. "This is a great opportunity to improve our strength!"
"Even if only a few people can ultimately use this secret technique to enhance their Golden Core, it will still allow us to have several more leaders! It can elevate the strength of the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Suiren to a higher level!"
Lei Zhan had a smile on his face, and he could even picture it in his mind!
Imagine this: the Daoist Sanqing, who were already comparable to the Ancestral God, suddenly transformed their Qi Refining Path into Second-Grade Golden Core. Furthermore, with their comprehension of the Dao and the Chaos Treasure, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, they could directly possess the strength of a top-tier Ancestral God!
Not only that, Suiren had already been elevated to the level of Ancestral God, although not by much.
But Shennong, Fuxi Clan, Buddha Tathagata, and the Patriarch Bodhi before us all had extremely high levels of understanding of the Dao! Once their Golden Core was refined and they broke through, their strength would increase dramatically!
Furthermore, the enhancement of the Golden Core will also allow the soul and true spirit to be nurtured stronger. At that time, the resistance to things like mind enslavement will also be much stronger.
Inside the Time and Space tunnel.
"Among the several powerful leaders, Fuxi Clan Gonggong were eventually enslaved by the Heart Spirit General. But at this time, the entire Ancient War of Destruction has only recently ended, and we don't know if Gonggong and Fuxi Clan have been enslaved yet, but we should be cautious. However... could we use this opportunity to test them?" Lei Zhan pondered to himself.
The method of refining the Golden Elixir can at most refine Third-Grade Golden Core Elixir into a second-grade one, so it's not actually that precious.
While not particularly precious, these items are extremely useful to third-tier Ancestor Immortal Ancestor Immortal, directly elevating their strength by one level.
"Even if Fuxi learns it, so be it! If he hasn't been enslaved by the Heart Spirit General, he'll indirectly help Fuxi Clan! But if he's already completely enslaved..." Lei Zhan muttered to himself, his gaze deep and unfathomable, "This debt, I'll just remember it for now! One day I'll collect it all with interest!"
Inside the Time and Space tunnel, vibrant colors Lei Zhan. He gathered his myriad thoughts and turned to look at his master, Patriarch Bodhi:
"Master, where are we going?"
Patriarch Bodhi turned his head and smiled, "I have already informed the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, as well as the Three Pure Ones Tathagata. Let's discuss it together and we can come up with a plan."
"Hmm?" Lei Zhan was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
The Three Sovereigns of the Human Race are all powerful leaders, so it was reasonable for Master Patriarch Bodhi to inform them one by one. Lei Zhan had also anticipated this.
In the Endless Chaos, there was a Medicine Field, and beside the Medicine Field was a thatched hut.
A group of figures were gathered in front of the thatched hut.
They are Bodhi, an old man in a Daoist robe; Shennong, who looks like an old farmer in the fields; Suiren, who has messy hair and a thick beard and wears an animal skin skirt, looking like a wild man; Fuxi Clan, who has an extraordinary demeanor; the Daoist Sanqing, who stand calmly; Buddha Tathagata, who is smiling; and Leizhan, who came here as the Second Primordial Spirit and is dressed in a golden Lei Zhan.
Besides the Lei Zhan, these guys in front of us...
They were the truly powerful figures at the very top of Nuwa Faction, holding a dominant position.
"Still haven't found Gonggong?" Suiren glanced at Lei Zhan with gentle eyes, then turned to Bodhi and asked curiously.
" Gonggong?" Patriarch Bodhi shook his head. "He's been hiding ever since the ancient war. Since even I can't find him, he must have overcome his inner hurdle and doesn't want to see us!"
"The emotional barrier is hard to overcome, and medicine can't cure it. It's a pity we can't help him either." Shennong shook his head and sighed.
" Bodhi, you summoned all of us to Shennong today, and even used the most urgent means of communication." Buddha Tathagata looked at Patriarch Bodhi with great curiosity. "And you even brought Lei Zhan along... Is it because of those Dharma teachings?"
The Buddha Tathagata vaguely understood something.
After all, although Lei Zhan had cultivated into a true god, he could not show favoritism. While handing over the eight great methods to Patriarch Bodhi, he also made a copy and sent it to Buddha Tathagata.
"This matter concerns a great opportunity, which is why I have summoned you all here." Without further explanation, Patriarch Bodhi flipped his hand, producing a bamboo scroll. "Before we discuss anything, please read this first!"
"A great opportunity?"
"What great opportunity? Is it related to the Lei Zhan?"
The other four powerful figures glanced thoughtfully at Lei Zhan, and then the bamboo slip was passed from one of them to the other.
Each of them immersed their consciousness in it, observing it carefully.
a long time.
"Hmm? These methods... What a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck!" Fuxi Clan's face lit up with surprise. "Of these methods, the first seven, the Lang Talisman is extremely useful to me, and of course, the others are somewhat useful too. But this last method of refining the Golden Core... What a stroke of luck! It truly is a stroke of luck!"
"Hmm? A method for enhancing the Golden Core?" Shennong, who resembled an old farmer in the fields, also became delighted. "And this method for cultivating Insect Beast... Such a brilliant technique, if the price is right, can cultivate a terrifying Insect Beast comparable to a leader!"
"This method is truly profound. The person who created this method must have been a master alchemist! To refine a Daluo Golden Core using rare ice and fire ingredients..." The usually composed Daoist Sanqing lost his composure, his eyes gleaming with boundless light.
" The Indestructible Golden Body... the elixir refined by ice and fire... these two secret techniques are of great help to me as well," Buddha Tathagata said with a smile.
" Ice Heart Marrow? Nine Flame Paste?" Suiren recalled the < Ice-Fire Golden Core Refining Method > and fell into deep thought.
Like the Patriarch Bodhi, after seeing these eight methods, they all spared some attention to peruse the most interesting ones, focusing immediately on the < Ice-Fire Golden Core Refining Method >, which could enhance the Golden Core.
