Chapter 112: Chapter 109 Heaven and Earth Anomaly, Taoist Inheritance Artifact

The moon shone brightly, stars sparse, the night sky clear like washed silk.

Outside Wangren Town, atop a relatively flat hill.

The clutter of trees had been cleared away, providing an unobstructed view that encompassed the surrounding mountains and the starry sky.

In the center of the clearing, a sacred altar was set up, on which the black and white "Small Book of Life and Death" was enshrined.

Wang Yuan stood in the middle, behind him Huang Wu and Lady Peach Fairy knelt respectively on bamboo mats to either side.

At this moment, the two women appeared pure and radiant, clear and lustrous like jade, hidden yet moist, apparent yet without malice.

Their graceful figures, dressed in flowing Qingyi palace skirts of blues and reds, truly lived up to the phrase: "Garments of feathers always carry the hues of clouds and mist, unstained by the worldly flowers of peach and plum."

"Sigh! Finally, the first step towards immortality is about to be taken."

Looking at the "Small Book of Life and Death" in front of him, gathered through countless hardships, Wang Yuan forcibly calmed his excited emotions.

Letting the profound knowledge from the "Earthly Que Golden Book" slowly flow through his mind.

"Taiyin Moonlight Technique," "Six Paths of Reincarnation," "Divine and Ghost Mysterious Altar Technique," "Five Senses Tribulation Method," "San Tu Yin Official Skill," "Three Vultures Power Technique," "Condemning Hundred Ghosts Skill"...

The "Earthly Que Golden Book" truly encompassed everything, containing dozens of "Earth Department Taoism" methods that could lead one to become a Green Seal Sage, and hundreds of "Mystical Department Taoism" methods to become a Yellow Seal Mage.

Together, they formed the entire comprehensive and vast "Earth Que Yin Official" system.

Even lower-ranked "Yellow Department Taoism" didn’t qualify to be included.

Wang Yuan had already known this.

The most precious aspect of these heaven and earth dual department Taoist methods lay in the fact that just a single "Divine Power Talisman" included techniques such as nourishing and refining, attacking, flying escape, substitution, divination... and more.

Yet, one only needed to abide by one "Precept Taboo," significantly reducing the risk of losing control and mutating.

Because in this world, magicians each obtained one method from the Dao, and one skill from the method, advancing step by step in sequence.

Therefore, before reaching the pinnacle of becoming a Green Seal Sage, there was no fundamental difference between the heavenly and earthly departments, no absolute strength or weakness.

Their most fundamental disparity, in fact, lay in whether the Taoist method included a ladder leading to becoming a "Corpse Dissection Immortal," allowing mortals to advance further even from a lofty position.

Wang Yuan thought of this and couldn’t help but sigh softly:

"Alas, all Taoist methods have their own ’Precepts and Taboos.’ Heaven Department Taoism is no exception and most likely extremely stringent, seemingly attainable yet out of reach.

Many people, even if they have the Qi Fortune to obtain Heaven Department Taoism, lack the fate to cultivate it, like Yili King Zhou Yi."

It wasn’t until Wang Yuan saw the "Earthly Que Golden Book" with his own eyes that he realized that Yili King had not forsaken the essential for the lesser, abandoning Heaven Department to cultivate "Earth Department Taoism·Three Vultures Power Technique."

Instead, he simply did not meet the prerequisite conditions of the "Earthly Que Golden Book."

"Precept Taboo One: Heaven and Earth Anomaly!

The mortal body, a pure blank slate, independent of Taoism, yet able to completely solve the mystery within the womb during the reincarnation, awakening to its true nature!

Without this Heaven and Earth Anomaly, one cannot bear the weight of this Earth Que Taoism.

If one forcibly cultivates it, the soul and spirit will gradually be dragged into the Netherworld, eternally damned and unable to transcend! Beware, beware!"

Even possessing the "Small Book of Life and Death," which can modify fate and make one eligible for various Taoist cultivations, could not artificially achieve this special prerequisite.

Since it’s an anomaly, it has completely transcended the capabilities of the "Small Book of Life and Death."

"Thus, the ’Small Book of Life and Death’ ending up in my hands might seem like a series of coincidences, yet there could be an unknown inevitability!"

This could mean that this treasure was destined to be mine."

Principle: "Knowledge" attracts similar "knowledge" to continuously gather.

Thus, Wang Yuan highly suspected that it was precisely because of his own special nature that the "Small Book of Life and Death" actively sought him out.

Even his point of reincarnation and birth being in Daling Village, the closest to Owl God Tomb, it’s hard to claim there were no mutually attractive factors involved.

It wasn’t him pursuing the "Small Book of Life and Death," but rather the "Small Book of Life and Death" actively pursuing him!

Until today, one could only say it was a case of good saddle matches good horse, a precious sword gifted to a hero, mutually achieving success.

Seeing that it was now Midnight.

"Yin Yang great assembly, water and fire harmoniously blend; at the dead of midnight, eerie killings unfold."

This was also the optimal time for cultivating the "Yin Mountain Taoism" magic technique.

Wang Yuan straightened his clothes, lit three incense sticks, and silently prayed in front of the "Small Book of Life and Death," continuously envisioning the appearance of that three-headed Ghost God.

Originally, it had a tiger head on the left shoulder, a dragon head on the right, and in the center, a faceless head with ox horns; but this time, the middle ox-horned figure was envisioned as Wang Yuan himself.

The "Earthly Que Golden Book," though it enshrined gods, never enshrined external gods but one’s own Primordial Spirit!

At the same time, the Small Book of Life and Death on the altar seemed to come alive, spontaneously flipping through its pages.

One profound Taoist method after another autonomously appeared.

As if deeply imprinting itself into Wang Yuan’s heart.

Sect Cultivators believed that only the sects venerating the Sect Venerable God as the "Taoist Lineage" were the orthodox cultivators, and those who relied solely on unconventional methods were just a group of insignificant mudlegs.

According to this categorization, "Yin Mountain Taoism" was also considered a side door.

However, even among the side doors, there were distinctions of grade; the ones with the most profound foundations, although lacking a living lineage, possessed their own venerable Taoist Inheritance Artifacts, revered for hundreds of years.

For the disciples of the sect, these were also a tremendous aid.

The entire strength of the lineage, the cumulative insights and knowledge of generations of Taoist Masters, Sect Master Marshals, and disciples, all were entrusted to the Taoist Inheritance Artifact.

It could be said that this Taoist Inheritance Artifact was the tangible embodiment of the sect’s Taoist skills.

During the transmission of the sect, it possessed mystical and magnificent power, rivaling the Taoist Lineage.

Lady Peach Fairy had once explained that in the south, the "Dragon Elephant Tao" had the "Yellow Dragon Mace", and in the north, the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao" had the "Five Thunders Car", both famously recognized Taoist Inheritance Artifacts.

And although each sect had a long history and powerful strength, they were extremely despised by the official face of the dynasty.

On the contrary, the side doors that they looked down upon, a few elites among them, received recognition from the dynasty, bestowed with palace temples and the position of Taoist Official, and taken under their wing.

Among the thirty-six camps, the "Divine Machine Gun and Cannon Technique" originated from the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao’s" Mystical Weapon Temple, and the "White Tiger Military Art", "Coiling Dragon Military Art" came from the Dragon and Tiger Temple of the "Dragon Elephant Tao".

Yin Mountain Taoism’s "Small Book of Life and Death", although not created through the painstaking devotions of generations of disciples, was inherently born.

In status, it even surpassed those large sects’ Taoist Inheritance Artifacts.

Without the need to set up a Dharma Altar, prepare treasure materials, it could directly pass on the Taoist skills to its owner.

Wang Yuan stood silently, prayed with incense for a moment, and inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.

Taking a step back, he formed the "Five Senses Altar City Seal" with both hands, chanting:

"At that moment, divine winds spread far, myriad Qis rise and surge. Heaven shakes, earth splits, dry bones regenerate. Sunken corpses and flying spirits, all rise and reform..."

Initially, there was only one voice, but gradually countless rustling voices from the darkness joined in unison.

But in the eyes of the onlookers Huang Wu and Lady Peach Fairy, there was nothing around.

"...Fengdu Iron Enclosure, long night in the Netherworld, immediately destroyed. Hell’s suffering souls transform into the heavens. The suffering of the Three Evil Paths, freed at once.

Those sinful beings, by this divine light’s power, are born in the ten directions’ great Heavenly Palaces, this constitutes the ’Yama Golden Palace’!"

In his perception, the night suddenly turned bleak, the wilderness around him seemed extraordinarily vast, mountains and forests appeared to be retreating, making space for some enormous entity.

A spark of Spirit Light within Wang Yuan illuminated his Dantian, he shouted abruptly: "Capture!"

The "Small Book of Life and Death" had just flipped to the title page, where the dignified Ghost God with three heads and six eyes suddenly emitted golden and cyan divine light, which then converged and flashed into the spot three inches below Wang Yuan’s navel.

Boom!

As if hit by a tangible impact, Wang Yuan took a step back to stabilize his figure.

He distinctly felt something new in his Dantian, an invisible force domineeringly radiating outward, forcefully relegating his original "Gathering Beasts Magic Skill" and "Transformation into Tiger Technique" to the corners.

This was indeed a "Dharma Seed" of the "Earthly Que Golden Book"!

Fortune struck Wang Yuan’s mind, he gestured with a mantra.

Whoosh—!

It seemed as if a great wind swept through his body, rushing through his viscera and limbs, and then abruptly burst out from the top of his head, numerous talismanic scripts blooming like exotic flowers and strange trees, stacking up like towers and palaces.

Finally, above Wang Yuan’s head, they manifested into five exquisitely complex Dharma Altars radiant with treasure light.

"Five Senses" in heaven, in Yang are five dragons, in earth, in Yin are five ghosts.

In cardinal directions: east, west, south, north, center, in human body: heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, in the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth...

Encompassing everything, manifesting all phenomena!

Wang Yuan shouted low:

"Lady Immortal!"

"Yes, Dharma Master!"

Like a Qingyi dancer full of grace, Wood Official Lady Peach Fairy, upon receiving the command, gracefully bowed and, stepping forward with crescent moon-like curved jade feet, leaped toward the green-colored Altar City.

Seated on the Dharma Altar, she merged into one.

Clang—!

A heavenly tone sounded, the Wood Official was in place! Divine Light burst forth!

The "Five Senses Altar City" suddenly collapsed, pulling Lady Peach Fairy back into Wang Yuan’s body with it.

At the same time, a ghastly pale star above the Nine Heavens shone brightly.

Wang Yuan formed another mantra.

He intended to directly harness the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the "Dharma Seed," letting it take root and sprout within his body, building the most perfect Dao Foundation!
