The effort required to copy the entire Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram is unimaginable for ordinary people. With Wang Hao's current resources, he is naturally far from capable. Moreover, his goal this time is not the entire diagram, but the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, or more precisely, the blade of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
Unfortunately, even with the requirements lowered to this level, the cost was still beyond his means.
When Wang Hao had copied one-third of the axe blade, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The copied axe blade also displayed an unparalleled sharpness, and the originally hard Cangmang Jade Disc immediately shattered, forming a piece of jade fragment the size of a thumb.
At the same time, Wujizi and the others also turned pale, clearly having suffered a significant shock. They were also horrified to discover that their Divine Sense had been reduced by half.
To know that drawing the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram requires the expenditure of Divine Sense power, and viewing it also consumes energy, is why Wang Hao only managed to copy a small section of the axe blade. If he were to copy the entire Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, these people would probably all die from exhaustion of their Divine Sense.
"Prepare a decoction according to this prescription and send it over!"
Having expended considerable energy, Wang Hao immediately sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing and used the remaining ink to print a prescription on the ground, which he then handed to Wheel-Turning King.
Whether it's Innate Qi or Divine Sense power, a quick recovery requires sufficient precious medicinal herbs as a supplement. Naturally, he couldn't be allowed to obtain these precious herbs himself. Fortunately, with a tycoon like Wheel-Turning King Yama present, he was allowed to spend the money.
However, he estimated that Wheel-Turning King wouldn't need to spend any money, since Mount Tai was Taoist School territory, and now it was just a matter of whether these people would follow the Tao.
"Since Lord Ye has graced our Mount Tai with his Taoist School must provide him with a proper welcome. Yuyin, prepare a medicinal soup for Lord Ye according to the prescription!"
Wujizi was the first to recover, decisively took over the matter and instructed the young Yuyin, who was guarding outside, to brew the medicine according to the prescription.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The young Yuyin priest Yuyin quickly agreed, wrote down the prescription printed on the ground, and rushed outside to arrange for the decoction to be prepared.
"My ancient, Cangmang Jade Disc!"
When the second Daoist Cangmang who had recovered saw the jade fragments scattered all over the ground, he felt as if his heart was about to break.
His precious darling is gone just like that!
"Don't worry about it. The opportunity we've gained this time is immense, far exceeding what a single jade disc can offer."
Wujizi rolled his eyes in annoyance, feeling utterly contemptuous of his stingy old friend.
What a short-sighted idea!
Putting aside everything else, the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram alone, which depleted so much of their Divine Sense just by looking at it, is priceless, far surpassing the value of the Cangmang Jade Disc.
"You make it sound so easy! That's the culmination of half my life's work!"
The Daoist Cangmang's face darkened, and he almost got up to fight Wujizi.
So you're only concerned about the loss of your precious child and don't care about the financial ruin, huh?
"This Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram is truly terrifying; merely copying it produces unparalleled sharpness, shattering even jade."
Ignoring his still sullen and unhappy old friend, Wujizi looked at Wang Hao, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and stroked his beard with a long sigh.
His Divine Sense had also been drawn into the Cangmang Jade Disc, so he knew that the jade wall's shattering was not due to Ye Gucheng's tampering, but rather because it itself was insufficient to bear the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram.
This was the first time he had encountered something so fantastical, which showed how terrifying the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram was.
"Indeed! If I'm not mistaken, that kid just copied a small section of the blade of Pangu Axe. Compared to the complete painting, it's vastly different. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the complete Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram must be."
Having recovered slightly from the sadness of the broken Cangmang Jade Disc, the Daoist Cangmang nodded in agreement. He had naturally heard some of the legends of Pangu Splitting Heaven and Earth and knew that Pangu had used a giant axe to create heaven and earth.
What that kid just copied was probably only a small section of the blade of Pangu Axe, but it was still extremely terrifying. It not only shattered the Cangmang Jade Disc that was comparable to pig iron, but also caused them to lose a lot of their Divine Sense.
That's terrifying!
"Grandmaster Uncles, can you feel that the axe blade gradually fading from our memories?"
Suddenly, Daoist Qingsong opened his eyes and asked in shock.
"Kindness?"
Wujizi and Daoist Cangmang were both stunned for a moment, and then, after thinking about it, they both showed disbelief.
Because they also sensed that their memory of the axe blade they had just seen was becoming blurred, and if this trend continued, it would probably disappear completely before long.
Having lived in a martial arts world, they had never encountered anything so fantastical and bizarre. For a moment, they were at a loss, and at the same time, they felt even more wary and awe of Wang Hao, who was circulating his internal energy, and the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram.
Even beings like them couldn't remember even a small fragment of the axe blade, which shows just how terrifying the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram was.
"Practice this visualization as soon as possible, lest you waste this opportunity!"
Wang Hao, who was meditating with his eyes closed, reached out and used the blood he had just spat out to imprint a visualization method on the ground.
This was naturally not his Nine Revolutions Spirit Nourishing Instruction, but a flawed version obtained during his previous deductions.
Many such defective products were produced during his deduction process, all of which had some flaws and could not meet his requirements.
Even so, it is still quite remarkable, at least many times more powerful and complete than the Spirit Meditation Method in the Longevity Dao Art.
"Thank you, Lord Ye!"
The first to react, Wheel-Turning King and the others bowed and thanked Wang Hao. Then, they memorized the visualization method and meditated on the image of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe blade that was becoming blurred in their memories.
Wujizi and the others also sincerely thanked them, and quickly began their meditation, keeping this kindness in mind.
Putting aside the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram, this visualization method alone is invaluable, far surpassing even the most profound visualization methods of their Taoist School, and it would greatly assist their current cultivation level.
This is a great act of kindness in spreading the Dharma!
Sensing the sincerity in their words, Wang Hao smiled knowingly.
The reason he copied the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram and presented it as a gift was to show off, to enhance the prestige of the overseas martial arts world and the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult, and to prepare for his next plan.
Mount Tai is the gathering place of most of the Daoist forces in the Central Plains Taoist School, with countless Daoist temples and countless hidden experts. As long as we can fool these Taoist School masters, the rest of the plan will be much simpler.
The Taoist School sect is very efficient. In just half Tokiomi, the young Yuyin boy Yuyin, who had left earlier, returned quickly with a bowl of medicinal soup and respectfully handed it to Wang Hao.
After drinking the soup specially prepared to restore Divine Sense and Innate Qi, Wang Hao's originally pale face finally regained a rosy hue.
Of course, this was just for show, to impress Wujizi and the others.
Although this was quite taxing, given his physical strength and the profound nature of his Bloodline Power, the physical exhaustion and damage had long since been fully recovered. It was only his Innate Qi and Divine Sense that were recovering more slowly, but this had nothing to do with his physical condition.
However, he couldn't appear too relaxed, otherwise the act would be difficult to continue, and he wouldn't be able to make Wujizi and the others feel grateful. So he still had to put on an act.
"For the next month, I will be cultivating atop Mount Tai, and every ten days I will send up a jade disc."
Feeling that it was about time, Wang Hao stood up, gave an order, and then strode outside, with Zhu Wudao, carrying his twin swords, silently following behind.
"Does Lord Ye intend to copy the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram once again?"
Wujizi's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly. The others were equally excited.
"Do you want to see more?"
Wang Hao stopped and glanced sideways at Wujizi and the others. A slight smile appeared on his lips; he knew the fish had taken the bait.
"Think!"
Wujizi nodded very honestly, indicating that he really wanted to watch it again, or even two or three more times.
After all, such a great opportunity is rare, and besides, they had almost completely forgotten about that piece of axe blade just now, and when they thought back, only a faint shadow remained in their memory.
Although they gained considerable benefits from this visualization practice, they would not give it up if they could gain even more.
"Send over ten servings of the herbal medicine every day!"
Wang Hao kept walking and casually replied, which was also one of the most important purposes of his trip to Mount Tai.
Unfortunately, while Spirit Refinement sense and Innate Qi doesn't consume much energy, it's quite costly to accelerate progress.
If he were willing to cultivate diligently for decades, he could achieve mastery even without consuming precious medicinal herbs, but he clearly couldn't wait that long.
Just like the tempering of his body and the cultivation of his Innate Qi, he used a large number of medicinal herbs to accelerate the process.
After all, his potential in all aspects is ten times stronger than that of ordinary people because of the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, so the consumption of cultivation is naturally ten times greater.
He couldn't accept the time required for slow and steady cultivation, so he had to rely on external help.
Although this would be extremely costly, he felt it was all worthwhile as long as it saved him time.
It is important to understand that the Fortune of this world has a peak period in every era, which in turn shapes the Protagonist of the Era to push the limits of the world.
The Protagonist of the Era are Dongfang Bai and Linghu Chong, who has not yet grown up.
At the same time, cultivation is easiest during this period, and more masters will emerge.
He must complete all the system tasks within this peak period; otherwise, once the time limit is exceeded, it will be difficult to complete them, and the power of Heavenly Mandate will be even more terrifying at that time.
Therefore, his time is very tight, and he must become stronger quickly at all costs.
Unfortunately, the medicines that can replenish Innate Qi and Divine Sense are extremely precious, and some are even extremely rare. With his current abilities, it would be difficult for him to obtain and collect them all.
Therefore, he set his sights on the long-established local tycoons in the Central Plains. At present, the Central Plains is dominated by four forces, among which the strongest is naturally the Confucian School, which is at the level of hegemony.
Secondly, there's the Taoist School, which has an even longer history, followed by the Buddhist Order, and finally the Old Zhu Household, which has been in power for two hundred years.
Although Confucian School has the most profound foundation, it is in a state of hostility and therefore cannot be crossed over.
The Old Zhu Household's resources are too weak to supply them for long, and he will need Old Zhu Household help in the later stages of his plan, so he can't afford to cheat them too badly.
It's not convenient to Buddhist Order for the time being. It just so happens that the Mount Tai Sword Sect is a major stronghold of the Taoist School, so today's trip came about. In fact, the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram and the Visualization Method were all preparations for this purpose.
Watching Wang Hao calmly leave, Wujizi and the others were completely dumbfounded. Then, looking at the prescription that Wang Hao had printed on the ground, they felt incredibly bitter.
You should know that the medicinal herbs on this prescription are priceless. Even their Taoist School doesn't have much in stock, yet that guy is asking them to provide ten portions every day.
Even though their Taoist School sect was large and powerful, they still felt a pang of financial pain.
"Old ghost Wuji, how about we call Yushu over to share the burden?"
Stroking his long beard, the Daoist Cangmang offered a suggestion.
Their Taoist School has three giants in Mount Tai. He and Wujizi are two of them, and the third is Fairy Yushu, a powerful figure of the same generation as them. She is also a Peak Xiantian Grandmaster and occupies one-third of the territory of Mount Tai.
This prescription is indeed a bit too much for the two of them to handle, but it would be much easier if Fairy Yushu were to join in.
However, Fairy Yushu has never had a good relationship with them, so it would be a bit shameful to compromise like this!
"This is the only way!"
After thinking it over, Wujizi finally sighed and agreed to the proposal.
