Amid the crowd's praise and admiration, the Black-Robed Daoist felt his body begin to change!
At that moment, his consciousness drifted upward, and he saw a vast, surging river!
It flowed from a distant place toward the farthest reaches of time!
The instant he saw it, a point of genuine light began to gather within the Black-Robed Daoist's faintly illusory body!
Joy welled up from the depths of his heart.
If this continues, and I keep drawing a share of that man's fortune and fate, it won't be long before I achieve Turning the Illusory into the Real and form a true body. In the end, I might even replace him and truly become True Person Soaring, bringing blessings to all living beings and founding peace for ten thousand generations!
That lofty Great Vow surged from deep within him, making the Black-Robed Daoist's thoughts ever clearer!
From the Netherworld, countless devout, pure thoughts spread toward him from across the world and gathered in his heart!
In an instant, an illusory Talisman was on the verge of taking shape!
"A Divine Spirit Talisman!?"
The Black-Robed Daoist felt the Talisman slowly forming in his heart and could not help rejoicing.
Of course. Though that man is a cultivator, he first entered the path through Incense. Even now, tales of the Dream Immortal and the Sleeping Immortal circulate throughout the South. Yet he never seems to have made the Divine Path his primary pursuit. He has hardly even let Incense linger in his heart!
As the Divine Path Talisman within him grew clearer, so did the Black-Robed Daoist's joy.
Through the haze, the faces of one Incense believer after another appeared in his mind.
Most were scholars and students. Following their Incense connections, the Black-Robed Daoist could dimly glimpse something of their origins.
