"Young friend Dugu, could you please elaborate on the War God Temple and the War God Illustrations?"
The group returned to the Righteous Qi Soaring to the Heavens Hall and sat down. Yue Buqun, who had been relatively inconspicuous, tactfully instructed the servants to serve tea, and to serve the best tea at that!
He took out the Da Hong Pao tea that he had been reluctant to drink and offered it to Wang Hao to taste, since the story of Shattering the Void was extremely important.
As soon as the group sat down, Feng Qingyang couldn't wait to ask questions, clearly very interested in the War God Temple and the War God Illustrations.
Puyin Wheel-Turning King and the others ignored the tea that was served, their eyes fixed intently on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao didn't refuse and immediately started to deceive people, saying, "To be honest, I only learned about the War God Temple three years ago when I met the sect leader, the Great Heavenly Demon. According to the sect leader, the War God Temple is in a mysterious place, and only experts at the Celestial Person Realm can vaguely sense it."
Moreover, it is extremely dangerous inside; even our sect leader almost perished there. It is said that a Demon Dragon that guards the War God Temple exists inside.
The sect leader also had a hard time entering the War God Temple, comprehending the forty-nine War God Illustrations within, and thus comprehending the Heavenly Demon Strategy that suited him.
And within the War God Temple, there exists another person, a powerful Taoist School master!
At this point, Wang Hao looked at the old Daoist who had remained silent. This man was from the Wudang Sect, which was a major Taoist School of the Wudang Sect and should know a lot about Taoist School.
"Please speak frankly, young friend!"
The old Daoist priest's heart stirred. While urging Wang Hao to continue, he searched his mind for all the highly accomplished and powerful figures in their Taoist School.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, the teacher of the Emperor Xuanyuan was a great Taoist School master. I wonder if this Daoist master has any recollection of this?"
Wang Hao spoke up, even though he was just making things up, he couldn't let him talk all the time, as that would lack authenticity and make the story more relatable. It would be best to get everyone involved and interact with him.
Now, Feng Qingyang and the others all turned their attention to the old Daoist priest from the Wudang Sect. They didn't know much about Taoist School legends, so they couldn't possibly know who the teacher of a legendary figure like the Emperor Xuanyuan was.
"If I remember correctly, the Emperor Xuanyuan's teacher was none other Taoist School the great Guangchengzi, but that was a figure from several thousand years ago."
After thinking for a while, the old Daoist priest spoke with some uncertainty, clearly not having studied this matter in great depth.
After all, that happened in ancient times, thousands of years ago, and there are no historical records of it, only some vague myths and legends.
However, he happened to remember a legend that said the Emperor Xuanyuan's teacher was named Guangchengzi.
Wang Hao continued with a smile, "It seems that it was true. What our sect leader saw in the War God Temple was the immortal golden body left behind by Guangchengzi after his death. Moreover, it seems that Guangchengzi also reached the Shattering Realm, and his physical body is indestructible and immortal. Even after thousands of years of wear and tear, it is still indestructible."
Finally, our sect leader carried it out, intending to refine it into a demonic weapon!
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Wang Hao; that turn was just too abrupt.
The old Daoist priest from the Wudang Sect was so angry that his beard stood on end. If he hadn't known that he couldn't beat Wang Hao, he would have drawn his sword on the spot.
He had just said that Guangchengzi was a great master of their Taoist School, and this guy immediately said that some damned cult leader had actually used the body of this Taoist School sage to refine some kind of demonic weapon.
This is such a rip-off!
"What's the big deal? Although my Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult is called a Holy Sect, it is Demon Sect sect and is an opposing force to the Taoist School. It is perfectly logical to use the bodies of Taoist School sages to refine demonic weapons!"
If you're not satisfied, you can go and argue with our leader!
Wang Hao glanced sideways at the old Wudang Sect priest with bloodshot eyes and bulging veins on his forehead, and chuckled mockingly.
Since inheriting everything from his previous life in the Primordial World era and clarifying the positions of the system and Xiao Mengmeng, Wang Hao has had no good feelings towards Taoist School.
After all, in the Primordial Great World, the Taoist School Immortal God were on the side of the Yellow Emperor Tribe and had killed many of their Jiuli Tribe members. In the future, he would definitely have a showdown with the Taoist School Immortal God.
Not to mention that his ultimate enemy was Hongjun, who was known as the Dao Ancestor. Given their Innate opposing stances, how could he possibly have any goodwill towards the Taoist School?
"..."
Feng Qingyang and the others were all speechless, inwardly cursing.
The fact that the leader of Demon Cult used the bodies of Taoist School to forge demonic weapons does seem logical... what a load of rubbish!
Furthermore, you previously mentioned that your so-called leader is a Celestial Person Realm expert. Such a powerful being, even if all the experts of the Wudang Sect were to join forces, would probably not be enough to withstand a single slap from him.
Even Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect, would have to kneel before him.
"Ahem... Young friend Dugu, let's continue discussing the War God Temple and the War God Illustrations!"
With a dry cough, Feng Qingyang smoothed things over, easing the awkward atmosphere. The old Wudang Sect also knew when to stop, though his expression remained quite unpleasant.
Although he had absolutely no connection with that Guangchengzi, it was still a very embarrassing situation!
However, he had no intention of going to confront the so-called leader of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult. After all, that person was a powerful figure who was a level above the Xiantian Grandmaster, and his old bones would only be offering their heads to him.
He's not that stupid!
Wang Hao glanced at the still indignant old Daoist priest, suppressed his laughter, and continued to explain, "Inside the War God Temple, there is a text carved with fingers, all in oracle bone script."
According to the cult leader's explanation, the War God Temple descended from the sky and was discovered by the Emperor Xuanyuan and the War Chi You, who were leading their tribal warriors in battle. The two fought fiercely for control of the War God Temple, and then Guangchengzi arrived and joined forces with the Emperor Xuanyuan to fight against the War God Chi You.
Chi You truly lived up to his reputation as the God of War, holding his own against two opponents. In the end, Emperor Xuanyuan used the Longevity Instruction he had comprehended from the War God Illustrations to shatter the surrounding space, sealing away the God of War Chi You and the War God Temple, and banishing them into the endless Void.
It seems that Guangchengzi voluntarily stayed behind to hold off the God of Chi You in order to cooperate with the Emperor Xuanyuan's plan, and was sealed in the War God Temple and exiled to the endless Void.
The last blood-written record seems to say that Chi You finally fully comprehended and mastered the War God Illustrations, directly Shattering the Void within the War God Temple to travel to a higher world, but leaving his mount, the Demon Dragon, in the cave to guard the War God Temple.
Wang Hao recounted Huang Yi Yi's description of the War God Temple, but he didn't copy it entirely. Instead, he made some modifications and added the role of Chi You.
After hearing Wang Hao's spiel, Feng Qingyang and the others were once again shocked and speechless for Jiujiu.
This explanation is utterly absurd, yet the person presents it with such conviction that even a fabricated story couldn't possibly be so perfectly crafted.
It can only be said that novels had not yet truly taken off in this era, and these people's imaginations hadn't been unleashed. How could they possibly be a match for a seasoned veteran like Wang Hao in the world of novels?
"Can the War God Illustrations really allow one to Shattering the Void? I wonder how many other divine skills in the world can enable one to reach the Shattering Realm?"
After a long silence, Feng Qingyang finally spoke and asked.
Wheel-Turning King and the others' eyes lit up, clearly showing great interest in those divine martial arts manuals.
Even if you can't get it, it's still good to listen; at least you can broaden your horizons.
"Among martial arts of the Shattering Realm, the War God Illustrations is undoubtedly number one. It is also the earliest divine skill that introduced the concept of Shattering the Void. Once mastered, it can almost Shattering the Void with 100% success."
This is the first level. The second level should be the Longevity Instruction that Emperor Xuanyuan comprehended from the War God Illustrations. It is said that it can directly cultivate the seven elements of heaven and earth: metal, wood, water, Yin and Yang, yin and yang.
By the way, it is said that the Longevity Dao Art of the Central Plains Taoist School were simplified from the Longevity Instruction.
The Heavenly Demon Strategy that my sect leader comprehended should also be at this level. The Daoist Dao Classic created by Laozi, the Taoist School founder of Daoism, also count. Both have a high chance of enabling people to reach the Shattering Realm.
The third level will have a few more techniques, such as the Love of the Alluring City created by an ancestor of my Dugu Family, the fifteenth sword of the Thirteen Deadly Swords of the Yan Household, the supreme Dao Heart Demon-Planting Great Technique of the overseas Demon Sect, Tathagata Divine Palm, the supreme inheritance of the Tianzhu Buddhist Order. All of these techniques offer a Sisi hope for breaking through to the Shattering Realm.
That's all I know. As for whether there are any other unique techniques in the world that can reach the Shattering Realm, I have no idea. However, these are all inherited techniques from our predecessors. I am confident that I can create the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship to the Shattering Realm and surpass the sages of the past!
In closing, Wang Hao spoke with great eloquence, revealing his ambitions—or, to put it bluntly, exuding an aura of Haki.
This bluff left Feng Qingyang and the others completely bewildered, their faces filled with shock.
They hadn't expected there to be so many martial arts techniques that could reach the Shattering Realm, and they'd basically never even heard of them before.
That's really rip-off!
Upon arriving here, the group couldn't help but complain about the Confucian School, the dominant force in the Central Plains. The Confucian School's internal policy has always been one of Tyrannical Dao suppression. Anyone who breaks through to the Innate Realm must either obediently accept the Confucian School's rule or leave the Central Plains.
This led many powerful individuals to travel overseas, inevitably taking with them a great deal of knowledge and skills.
Now look what's happened! The martial arts world overseas is so prosperous, while the martial arts world in the Central Plains has declined to such a state. It's truly tragic!
When Wheel-Turning King heard Wang Hao say that the Longevity Dao Art was evolved from the Longevity Instruction, his heart stirred, because he knew that the Longevity Dao Art did exist, and that their Old Zhu Household's ancestor had cultivated it.
"Benefactor Dugu, may I ask what level of martial arts my Shaomu Temple's Great God are, and whether there is any hope of reaching the Shattering Realm?"
Puyin grew a little anxious and couldn't help but ask.
There was nothing he could do. Wang Hao had mentioned so many divine skills and martial arts that could potentially reach the Shattering Realm, but he hadn't mentioned the Great God of their Shaomu Temple, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"How could your Great God possibly allow someone to reach the Shattering Realm? Reaching the Celestial Person Realm would be quite an achievement."
Rolling his eyes, Wang Hao retorted mercilessly.
Those Great God were just something he concocted, and they were even borrowed from the settings in Hong Kong comics. Apart from the first four levels of the Golden Bell Shield that he had previously copied, the others didn't even exist!
You think you can cultivate to the Shattering Realm with this?
Are you dreaming?
"Didn't you say yesterday that our temple's Patriarch Damo had cultivated to the Shattering Realm, and even Shattering the Void to ascend to the Buddha Realm?"
The old Puyin became even more anxious, and couldn't help but get up and grab Wang Hao's wrist, his old eyes bloodshot.
"I've already said that I only heard about it, nothing more. I didn't actually see Damo Shattering the Void and ascend to the Buddha Realm. And even if Damo Shattering the Void, it was something he did himself. "Damo
Even if you've mastered the original Great God, do you really think you can reach the level of achievement of Damo?
However, if you can fuse those Great God into one, there might be a Sisi hope to reach the Shattering Realm.
Wang Hao directly employed a writing technique of first suppressing and then elevating the Four Great Divine Arts of Shaomu, and then giving the old monk a glimmer of hope—a hope of integrating the Great God.
With this hope in mind, the old monk and the Shaomu Temple behind him would likely have an even stronger desire for the so-called Great God.
This way, it will be much easier for me to deceive people at Shaomu Temple when I have the power in the future.
This can be seen as laying the groundwork for future deception. Regardless of whether we actually go to Shaomu Temple in the future, it's always good to lay the groundwork first.
"Fusing the Four Divine Skills!"
The old Puyin was initially hesitant, but then his eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited as he thought about it, because the idea was highly feasible!
After all, according to the person in front of him last night's introduction to the Four Divine Skills of Shaomu, the ancestor Damo cultivated the Virgin Boy Divine Art, then created the Golden Bell Shield, and then created the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic based on the Golden Bell Shield Cover, and finally created the Marrow-Washing Classic.
Damo, the Patriarch, possessed Great God and was their creator. He had already cultivated these Great God to their peak before he was Shattering the Void.
If they only cultivate one of the Four Divine Arts, it is indeed impossible for them to reach the Shattering Realm, and they might not even be able to reach the Celestial Person Realm.
Therefore, if you want to reach the Celestial Person Realm or even the Shattering Realm, fusing the Four Divine Skills is the only option.
But before that, we must first acquire the Four Divine Skills!
What the old Puyin didn't notice was that the people around him were looking at him with a strange look in their eyes. They were still a little unsure about the Four Great Divine Arts of Shaomu of Shaomu before, but after seeing this scene, they were immediately 100% certain.
Those Four Great Divine Arts of Shaomu are definitely real, which means that what this kid said earlier is very likely true!
With this in mind, everyone's thoughts raced, and they came up with many bold ideas and aspirations.
