Great Luo Enlightenment!
Using Foundation Establishment Law Power to drive Qi Refining Law Technique certainly increase their power, but it's like using the power of a river to drive a stream.
Not only is it difficult to fully unleash the power of Foundation Establishment, but it also appears cramped and out of place.
Therefore, Qi Yun urgently needs techniques and methods that are truly compatible with the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Now is the perfect time; we can use this [Great Luo Edict] to enlighten the old techniques and test its ability to derive myriad methods."
With a thought, the azure-gold luster representing the [Great Luo Edict] flowed slightly in his mind, emanating a profound Daoist charm.
"But which one should I enlighten?"
His gaze swept over the array of Law Technique he possessed.
Finally, it slowly landed on the [Soul Refining Banner].
This Law Technique is arguably one of the most comprehensive and frequently used Law Technique in his repertoire.
During the attack, ten thousand souls emerged, wailing and howling.
During the defensive maneuver, black mist spread, corroding all laws;
Normally, the numerous vengeful spirits nurtured within the banner are hardworking "talisman workers," creating immense wealth for him with extremely high efficiency.
Its plasticity is unparalleled among all Law Technique.
"That's you."
Having made up his mind, Qi Yun no longer hesitated.
He focused his mind and activated the cyan-gold [Great Luo Edict] Divine Ability power within his body!
The next instant, a condensed azure-gold divine radiance burst forth from the source of his Divine Ability and suddenly poured into the [Law Technique Panel] connected to his Divine Soul.
It precisely covered the line of text representing the [Soul Refining Banner]!
"Buzz-!"
The words "[Soul Refining Banner]" that were clearly displayed on the panel suddenly became blurred, completely covered and stained by a rich and mysterious cyan-gold Daoist aura!
A fundamental, root-cause transformation is taking place.
A few breaths later, the panel flashed with light, and the writing became clear again, but the content was completely different.
[Automatic Law Technique updates complete. This is a major version update; Law Technique effects have been adjusted as follows.]
[Remove Law Technique: Soul Refining Banner]
[New Law Technique: Human Emperor Banner]
"The Human Emperor Banner?" Qi Yun, slightly surprised.
This name has changed quite a bit.
With a slight thought, he attempted to activate this new Law Technique.
Then, he waved his hand—
"Call!"
A beam of dark light flew out from his sleeve and spread out in front of him.
A banner about ten feet long was seen floating in the air.
Its flagpole is no longer the stark white bone material of the past, but has been transformed into a dark golden material, as if it were forged from dragon blood sacred wood, both warm and majestic.
The banner surface was no longer Yin Qi blackish-gray, but presented a deep, dark black color, on which faint shadows of mountains, rivers, and the nation flowed.
It exudes a magnificent aura that commands all spirits and brings peace to the world.
The resentment, coldness, and Sha Qi that had previously lingered around it vanished completely.
Instead, there was an awe-inspiring, reverential imperial authority that compelled one to bow down and worship!
The banners swayed gently, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi naturally converged, accompanied by the faint sounds of wind and thunder, with no more ghostly wails or howls.
Where is this still that demonic Law Artifact used to exorcise souls and command ghosts?
Qi Yun could clearly feel that his connection with this new banner had become even closer, as if it were his own arm.
Within the banner, the resentful souls were cleansed and transformed by this imperial aura, becoming pure and powerful, turning into loyal "soldiers" rather than enslaved "vengeful spirits."
The Great Luo Edict, which manifests in all laws, is truly terrifying!
He directly transformed a soul-refining Law Technique that leaned towards the sinister and evil into a grand and righteous supreme secret technique!
Qi Yun looked at the newly renovated [Human Emperor Banner], his eyes gleaming.
The effectiveness of this [Supreme Divine Ability] exceeded his expectations.
Grasping this [Human Emperor Banner], all sorts of exquisite insights and profound and mysterious teachings instantly flooded into Qi Yun's mind like a sudden enlightenment.
In an instant, he grasped the core mysteries and key points of this method, and knew them by heart.
"Excellent! Truly profound and mysterious!"
It's far superior to the original [Soul Refining Banner], it's like comparing heaven and earth!
Qi Yun with satisfaction at the precious banner in his hand, which was filled with the aura of imperial power, and felt the immense power and various wonderful uses contained within it.
With a slight thought, he made a hand seal and gently touched the Human Emperor Banner Method Formula.
"Buzz--!"
A mysterious light flowed across the banner.
The hidden patterns of mountains, rivers, and the state seemed to come alive.
The next moment, a full eight hundred solid figures surged out from the banner, landed on the ground, and transformed into eight hundred proud figures with clear and sharp eyes.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
The eight hundred true spirits knelt on one knee in unison, bowing respectfully. Their voices were uniform and resonant, carrying a powerful and awe-inspiring presence that caused the air in the courtyard to momentarily stagnate.
Looking at these clear-eyed, orderly, and pure-powered true spirits before him, Qi Yun's eyes flashed with surprise, which quickly turned into heartfelt praise, "Not bad, not bad!"
With their souls and bodies refined and their intelligence intact—they are all top-notch laborers!
Qi Yun chuckled lightly. Compared to the originally confused and turbid vengeful spirits, these true spirits were far more efficient in drawing talismans, handling miscellaneous tasks, and even forming formations to fight enemies.
However, just as he was about to explore other wonderful uses of the [Human Emperor Banner]...
A sudden thought struck me!
A barely perceptible, yet clearly malicious, sudden feeling washed over me.
It the Unseen as if an invisible thread was trying to entangle his destiny and pinpoint his existence.
"Hmm?" Qi Yun a soft exclamation, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Someone is trying to figure out my location."
He is now Foundation Establishment True Person, and his spiritual perception is far more acute than that of the Qi Refining stage.
The senses are extremely clear regarding this kind of causal probing that involves oneself.
He immediately lowered his eyes, composed himself, and did not need to cast any specific Law Technique.
Simply by virtue of his status Foundation Establishment True Person, naturally integrated with the Great Dao, he sank his mind into the the Unseen and began to calculate with his fingers.
The scene before my eyes shifted, and suddenly a large expanse of hazy mist appeared.
Deep within the mist, countless intricate, invisible lines, representing causal relationships, were spreading and entangling towards him.
Deducing cause and effect and discerning the secrets of heaven are among the fundamental abilities of Foundation Establishment True Person.
It is as natural as breathing, and is not a specific Law Technique or Divine Ability.
"Hmph, hiding your true colors!" Qi Yun thought to himself with a cold laugh.
He did not choose passive defense or sever ties.
Instead, following the strange feeling in his heart and the causal lines that spread from it, he launched a counterattack!
A powerful Divine Sense, mixed with the Supreme Dao intent of the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation], flowed upstream along the invisible thread of cause and effect!
In an instant, the hazy mist before his eyes surged violently, and countless blurry lines and blocks of color rapidly evolved and combined in front of him.
Finally, a blurry yet distinctive human figure was sketched out.
Meanwhile, deep within a cluster of Spiritual Qi vibrant palaces somewhere within the Wuji Sacred Sect.
Flower Moon Hall, the protective light barrier slowly dissipated.
An old man dressed in a brocade robe, with a gloomy face and eyes filled with sixty years of resentment, slowly stepped out of his secluded meditation room.
It was none other than Song Kun, the Flower Moon Hall, who was framed by Yang Cuan and Qi Yun and punished with a 60-year confinement!
Today, he has just completed his sentence and emerged from prison!
Sixty years of pent-up resentment and anger made his face so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.
Yang Cuan and he were both Foundation Establishment True Person, so if he wanted revenge, he would have to plan carefully.
But that junior from the Outer Mansion who killed his only son and caused him to suffer such severe punishment— Qi Yun!
They must die!
"A mere ant in this mundane world, having been fortunate enough to enter the Inner Mansion, has become utterly arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations!"
"Not only did you kill my only son, but you also caused me to be punished with sixty years of solitary confinement!" The Flower Moon Hall's face was icy, and his voice was as deep as ice.
I won't skin you alive, tear you apart, or tear your soul from your body!
This cannot quell the hatred in my heart!
As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he couldn't wait to use his Secret Method to deduce Qi Yun's location, determined to find him and exact the cruelest revenge!
However, just as his deductive power was about to lock onto a certain location, and a cold smile appeared on his face, poof!
Suddenly jolted, the Flower Moon Hall felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
His vision went black for a moment, and he vaguely saw a pair of cold, majestic eyes that looked down on him like an ant, sweeping over him indifferently through the endless fog of cause and effect.
The backlash from that Daoist intent carried a supreme realm that he couldn't comprehend, a realm that transcended all laws, and directly shook his mind!
"How is this possible?!" The Flower Moon Hall was horrified, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"That little beast—his—his aura—how could it be— True Person?"
What he sensed was no longer the aura of the junior in the Qi Refining Realm from his memory.
Instead, it was a vast, profound, and majestic pressure, like the might of the heavens, that Foundation Establishment.
Even more so than him, a veteran Early Foundation Establishment Stage True Person.
More magnificent, more breathtaking!
Meanwhile, Qi Yun, far away at the Green Mountain Daoist Temple, slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
"So it was you— Flower Moon Hall."
"This is an old score from sixty years ago; I intended to settle it another day."
"Since you've chosen to seek death—"
"Then, I'll grant your wish."
