Clear Resonance Chime
"Junior brother, I entrust my safety to you."
Wei Du'e grasped Hu Mang's hand earnestly and said.
"No problem, no problem."
Watching the other person's figure gradually disappear, even Hu Mang himself muttered to himself.
This guy is so afraid of death, how could he possibly master the skill of "Slay Ghost God"?
Seeing that this fellow had stepped into the mountain crevice that was said to be the "sword imprint of the founding ancestor of the Divine Sword Sect," Hu Mang shook his head, clenched his hands, and a warm, deep aura, like that of the earth itself, surged from his palms, silently seeping into the rocks around the crevice like spring water seeping from the ground.
Unlike the approach of "repairing the surface" with the Divine Light of Condensing Peaks, the Divine Light of Earth Virtue acts directly on the texture and structure of the rock itself, like a top-notch casting master transforming a piece of stubborn iron from the inside.
That ray of divine light seeped into every pore, every joint, and every loose particle of the rock, like water soaking dry sand, compacting, binding together, and re-coagulating all the loose, broken, and softened parts corroded by Demonic Qi.
After the Hu Mang withdrew its Divine Ability, the originally loose and brittle stone surface revealed a deep, almost black, glossy color. When tapped with a fingertip, it produced an extremely crisp sound with a lingering echo.
He forcefully scratched the rock surface with his knuckles, producing a very faint, high-pitched sound, like a fingernail scraping against an iron plate, but not a single white mark was left on the stone.
"As expected of a fully-developed Azure Mysterious Realm Law Technique, it's truly amazing. To turn fossils into steel in Heavenly Gate, the reinforced concrete used would be on par with that used to build Nascent Soul cave abode."
The steel inside this level of reinforced concrete is of the Law Artifact level.
Moreover, Hu Mang vaguely sensed that the mountain reshaped by the Divine Light of Earth Virtue possessed a certain degree of ability to resist external Demonic Qi.
It's like a naturally occurring magical treasure, impervious to external evils.
"Next, we'll wait three days to see if this guy can successfully comprehend that sword technique."
Hu Mang muttered to himself, plopped down, and pulled out another ancient Clear Resonance Chime.
The chime was no bigger than the palm of your hand, and was made entirely of a bluish-green jade. Its color was warm and smooth like the first melting of spring water, yet it also possessed a unique tranquility and translucency characteristic of jade.
Upon closer inspection, the jade's texture is extremely unique, possessing a semi-transparent, luminous quality, resembling a deep pool of water that has been frozen for thousands of years. It appears crystal clear, yet is unfathomably deep, bringing a sense of peace to anyone who glances at it.
The chime has a flat, oval shape, like a green lotus leaf polished by time. Its edges are rounded and soft, without any sharp corners, yet it gleams with a very faint, flowing jade-like luster under the sunlight.
"Could this also be a creation resembling a gate?"
The history of this world is quite similar to that of the Heavenly Gate; there was also a Buddhist sect in its history, and not just any ordinary Buddhist sect.
According to the materials he had read in the library, the ten High Antiquity Buddhist kingdoms had beings of "Tathagata- level" status.
The "Tathagata" corresponds to the divine status of an immortal, and not just any ordinary immortal status, but Higher Vehicle immortal status, far superior to that of Ghost Immortal, Corpse Liberation Immortal, or Loose Immortal.
Today, each of the Five Temples of Buddhism has intricate connections with the High Antiquity kingdoms.
The era in which the High Antiquity sword immortals lived seems to have coincided with the flourishing of the Buddhist kingdom.
The Hu Mang flicked its finger and gently tapped the rim of the chime, producing a clear and melodious sound that emanated from the jade.
The sound was extremely pure, like a drop of spring water falling into a secluded pool in the deep mountains, clear and far-reaching, with a lingering resonance.
The sound seemed to carry some invisible power, rippling through the air and completely erasing the faint, putrid stench.
"This ancient treasure is also a god; it either doesn't require Law Power, or it consumes magical Law Power at an alarming rate."
Hu Mang used the Clear Resonance Chime and felt almost no loss of True Qi.
"However, what would happen if we used Buddhist teachings to strike the chime?"
He hesitated for a moment, then formed a Vajra Law Seals, and a wisp of golden Buddhist light gathered at his fingertips, which he gently touched the surface of the jade chime.
Buzz--
A golden light spread across the surface of the chime, like ripples from a drop of ink falling into clear water. The point touched by the fingertip suddenly magnified, and in the blink of an eye, the entire chime was dyed a clear gold.
The sound of a chime rang out.
Golden light burst forth from the chime, like the first rays of sunlight tearing through the long night at dawn, sweeping outwards in all directions from the Hu Mang's center.
Wherever that golden light passed, the remaining black Demonic Qi in the air melted and dissipated as quickly as frost and snow exposed to the blazing sun.
Vast swirling Demonic Qi surged and receded like boiling water.
From the depths of the distant demon field came an extremely low, muffled sound, like the agonizing wail of some creature.
Hu Mang was taken aback, then came to his senses.
The effect is so good?
Therefore, this Clear Resonance Chime imitates the Buddha's treasure of the Emptiness Realm, not the Buddha's treasure of the Form Realm.
The difference between the two lies in the fact that the former uses a state of spiritual attainment, while the latter tests Buddhist Law Power.
No wonder it doesn't require Law Power.
It's strange that the effects were so outstanding even without using Vajrayana.
Do Buddhist teachings and Buddhist artifacts go hand in hand?
"That way, I won't have to sit there doing nothing."
As Hu Mang gazed at the treasure, his eyes gradually brightened.
Although in Senior Brother Lu's eyes, Wei Du'e was a good-for-nothing.
Although in my perception, this Senior Brother Wei acts rather cautiously and steadily.
But regardless, this guy is a disciple of a high-ranking sect who has Qi Training to Spirit Transformation stage, and his swordsmanship, which has killed many Yin Spirit, is undeniable.
Don't be fooled by how effortlessly this guy shattered one Void Devil Field after another. If it were Hu Mang himself, he would probably have to combine Buddhist, Daoist, and demonic arts and evolve the "New Four Devil-Subduing Forms" to their fullest extent to achieve the same effect.
But putting aside the question of whether this approach is truly effective, it's also unsustainable.
It's estimated that he'll run out of Law Power after breaking through two or three Void Devil Field.
So along the way, he obediently followed behind this Senior Brother Wei, adopting the style of a Mysterious Peak Sect disciple who would handle both damage output and logistics.
Even knowing that the Void Devil Field and the Heavenly Devil Field were closely related, he had no intention of doing anything about it.
But upon discovering the remarkable effects of this Clear Resonance Chime, certain ideas began to stir within him.
"My Heavenly Devil Field is currently in a somewhat awkward situation. Its ability to break through anything within three zhang is limited to the materials of Law Artifacts. Let alone Innate Law Treasure, it can't even break through acquired magical Acquired Law Treasure. As for the ability to confuse the five senses, it's only invincible among those of the same level. No, when it comes to some abnormally powerful individuals of the same level, such as Ao Tianhai who fights using the consciousness of the Dragon Vein, this thing is only so-so."
"I possess top-tier magical talent; there's no reason I should only have this much ability."
"There are only two reasons: either they haven't cultivated the corresponding Devil Cultivation Method, or their aptitude for demonic arts hasn't been fully developed."
There are definitely no Devil Cultivation Method of this level overseas, after all, the upper limit of the Old Devil path is only the Nascent Soul.
He wasn't sure if the Heavenly Gate or the Immortal Dynasty possessed this level of Devil Cultivation Method. If the former did, he might have to deal with that Demonic Dao Committee.
He is, after all, on the periphery of the Underworld Bureau; it's not good for him to betray his own people.
Moreover, people wouldn't give you this level of mental cultivation technique for no reason.
The second method is to develop one's aptitude for demonic cultivation.
This is unlikely on Earth Star, but it might not be impossible in the Azure Mysterious Realm.
"The evolution of this Heavenly Devil Field is extremely similar to that of the Void Devil Field. If I could comprehend the changes in the Void Devil Field, wouldn't that be equivalent to attaining an extremely powerful demonic Divine Ability?"
"Before, I wasn't confident about entering the Void Devil Field, but with this Clear Resonance Chime, it's like a godsend."
Hu Mang glanced back at the mountain passage that was now sealed off by layers of barriers.
Similar to the sword intent he sensed with Senior Brother Wei, after mastering the "Divine Light of Earth Virtue," he also developed the Unseen connection with the area blessed by the Earth Virtue.
In this way, there's no need to worry about getting lost, and if Brother Wei is really disturbed by the Void Devil Field, I can sense it in time.
With that thought in mind, Hu Mang didn't hesitate any longer and plunged directly into the Demonic Qi.
Amidst the surging Demonic Qi, Hu Mang directly switched to demonic mode, continuously converting the Profound Yin True Qi within his body, and replacing the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit with the Three Yin Flowers.
Now, the Hu Mang's Profound Yin True Qi surged from the depths of his Dantian, like ink poured into clear water, soaking his entire body.
Amidst the Demonic Qi, the Hu Mang's hair danced wildly, its eyes shooting out three feet of demonic light, and the Three Flowers on its head, after succumbing to demonic possession, completely transformed into three dark lotus buds, occasionally emitting a beam of demonic light.
In this state, to anyone else, he would look like a typical member of the demonic cult.
I just don't know what the standard is for the Demonic Saint in this world, and whether Hu is worthy of it.
The circulation path of the "Profound Yin True Scripture" was somewhat treacherous at first, but as the surrounding surging Demonic Qi entered it, it became smoother and smoother, and even showed signs of a breakthrough.
"No wonder that demonic cultivator we saw earlier risked everything to infiltrate the seal; the cultivation effects here are truly exceptional."
"Previously, the two flowers condensed from the Profound Yin True Scripture were destroyed and had to be recultivated, resulting in an 80% reduction in demonic cultivation."
"The Golden Core of the unity of the three religions was not refined, the transformation between Buddhism and demonic cultivation could not be achieved, and the demonic cultivation level was once again halved."
"But here, the level of Devil Cultivation Method cultivation is rising rapidly, it feels like I can cultivate all the way to the Yin Spirit realm."
This is not an illusion, because in this demonic cave, there is not only Demonic Qi, but also the demonic intent left behind by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil of yesteryear. This demonic intent is omnipresent, and by absorbing it, one's Devil Cultivation Method cultivation level can naturally rise continuously.
However, the downside is that you might suffer from Qi Deviation or be possessed by Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil.
Hu Mang didn't know which category the demonic cultivator who had died earlier belonged to.
But regardless of the method, it's not safe to practice here.
Hu Mang, relying on his identity as a "demonic cultivator," roamed freely among the Void Devil Field. He was dissatisfied with several of Void Devil Field, as they were either too strong or too weak. However, when he saw the bluish-white flames not far away, his eyes lit up.
This is it!
