Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Improved Divine Skills (Bonus for 3000 monthly tickets)

"I’ve become this strong," Feng Xixi marveled to herself, standing aloft in the air moments later.

This was her first time exerting her full strength since her advancement to Divine Power Practitioner.

The outcome was astonishing.

The three Divine Power Practitioners of the Black Lotus Sect were as easy to kill as chickens and dogs, effortlessly slaughtered by her without a chance to resist.

Now, as her inspiration radiated outward, the soul of the last Divine Power Practitioner of the Black Lotus Sect was thoroughly tainted, dazed and confused, and turned into her own servant.

Zhong Shenxiu retrieved the storage bag, inspecting it briefly, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face, "I’ve finally found the Daoist Scripture."

The Substitute Divine Power was also one of her targets this time.

To secure it, she had made extensive preparations.

She not only commanded a legion of White Bone Demons to sweep through their strongholds but also killed the three Divine Power Practitioners and ransacked their Magic Treasure Bags.

If it couldn’t be found, the soul of this last Divine Power Practitioner would reveal whether it possessed any unsealed memories.

Fortunately, her luck wasn’t bad.

Zhong Shenxiu pulled out a black book and a slight smile emerged on her face.

At the same time, her gaze shifted toward the direction of the Black Lotus Sect’s altar, growing solemn, "Primordial Spirit... or Dharma Body?"

The opponent had not descended in true form, merely a phantom, yet it made Zhong Shenxiu feel utterly unmatched.

Should the true body descend... it was likely that the nearby dozens of miles would become completely desolate!

Such power was truly terrifying!

According to Zhang Taiyi’s memories, after ascending to Primordial Spirit, Cultivators could extend their life to inconceivable lengths.

At least, as of now, she hadn’t heard of any Primordial Spirit of Yan Han dying from their life span running out.

...

Xuanyu City.

Zhong Shenxiu returned to her small courtyard.

’Feng Xixi got away early and fast, she’ll probably escape... Lin Xunyi’s fate is uncertain...’

’That outburst from the Evil God, I wonder how many demons and monsters it will attract...’

’And there’s Zhang Taiyi, totally annihilated, both body and spirit destroyed by that Evil God... Surely, it will draw the attention of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.’

’But none of that is my concern.’

She thought idly about some things, then looked up to see Xu Shaoling, who had been waiting at the door, among a few others.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Xu Shaoling bowed first, directing the servants to bring forth a chest, which when opened, contained the gleaming White Emperor Coins: "Ten thousand White Emperor Coins, mission accomplished."

"Ha ha... that wasn’t my command, it was just for your own sake."

Zhong Shenxiu chuckled heartily, sensing a whiff of blood from Xu Shaoling.

This guy must’ve gone through quite a lot during this period.

But she couldn’t care less to ask, and with a wave of her hand, collected the chest into her Fangcun pocket, casually tossing over a small jade bottle: "One Condensing Method Pill, we’re square now, no debts owed on either side. I like to handle things quickly!"

With that, she walked into the courtyard, closing the door behind her without regard for Xu Shaoling, who remained deep in bow outside.

...

After entering her room, Zhong Shenxiu sat crossed-legged and reflected in silence, "This time I’ve successfully thrown off the blame, and whatever happens to Zhang Taiyi has nothing to do with me anymore..."

In fact, Zhang Taiyi’s memory was simply a treasure trove, and if not for the massive implications involved, Zhong Shenxiu truly did not want to let it go so easily.

"Next... is to infiltrate the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect and find an opportunity for cultivation..."

Zhong Shenxiu’s initial plan was to become a True Inheritor and obtain the complete inheritance of the "Taiyi Dragon Tiger Control True Seal Divine Method," advancing step by step, solidly on the path to becoming an Undying Immortal.

After all, the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book" he had acquired, peaked at the Primordial Pill stage, and beyond that, there was no path to follow.

"Compared to that, the ’Divine Heavenly Thunder Method’ and ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’ that Zhang Taiyi cultivated are far more exquisite..."

The "Divine Heavenly Thunder Method" was one thing, but what truly captivated Zhong Shenxiu’s heart was the "Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture"!

This scripture primarily cultivated the path of controlling tribulations and dealt with the metaphysical concepts of karma and energy... It excelled at dispelling disasters and converting calamities.

For example, when Zhang Taiyi formed his core, he deliberately released lots of information for others to besiege him, utilizing the method of turning a Heavenly Tribulation into a human tribulation.

Because human tribulations are easier to overcome, just raising a sword of slaughter and cutting through everything would suffice.

Heavenly Tribulations, however, are unpredictable, and if mishandled could spell great disaster. Any ruthless individual, confident in their cultivation, would surely choose to transform the Heavenly Tribulation into a mortal killing tribulation.

In fact, he succeeded, not only in sweeping away the heroes but also in making his own core formation Heavenly Tribulation become incredibly weakened.

It’s just unknown why, in the end, he failed.

Otherwise, he would inevitably be an unparalleled powerhouse opening a new path in this world.

The mere few scriptures already had such ingenious uses, so naturally, the true "Taiyi Dragon Tiger Control True Seal Divine Method" would be even more indescribably miraculous.

Zhong Shenxiu, in pursuit of eternal life, could only choose to take a gamble.

"Entering the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect, I wonder how many more checks there will be... One slip and all previous efforts could be wasted, life extinguished, and Dao destroyed... Therefore, I must find a safety net."

This so-called safety net was to ensure that even if he was discovered and executed, he’d still have the power to restart!

Of most importance was his acquisition from the previous world, the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power.

And really, the characteristic of immediately reviving on the spot was somewhat awkward.

If facing a Primordial Pill Old Monster, one might not even be able to revive at all.

Therefore, he needed to find other Divine Powers to improve the revival mechanism.

Of course, such a feat, not even a Primordial Spirit expert could necessarily accomplish.

Improving Divine Powers required a profound understanding of the cosmic laws, and at this point, Zhong Shenxiu was nowhere close to even grasping the edges.

Of course, what he intended to do was simply to cheat.

At this time, he opened the captured black scripture.

This Daoist scripture was very thick, with a sense of weightiness, and its surface bore the imprint of a black lotus.

Upon opening it, the first page was, strikingly, the "Black Lotus Venerable’s Scripture of the End of Dharma." Zhong Shenxiu didn’t even glance at it, and flipped right past.

Further on, there was content about how to condense Innate True Qi, break through Mana limits, how to solidify spells, break through Divine Skills, and so on.

"These spells of the Black Lotus Sect are somewhat unique... starting from Innate, they are already different... They break through to Mana from Innate using incense fire belief, establishing an alternative foundation, cultivating incense fire power..."

"This different nature of Mana enables some miraculous feats, crafting an alternate form of spellcraft..."

"The Substitute Divine Power of the Black Lotus Sect, known as ’Star Shifting,’ requires combination of four spells: Substitute Technique, Transference Technique, Divine Thought Possession Method, Little Spirit Light Escape Technique... These spells all require a certain level of Divine Dao telekinesis to cultivate, quite troublesome... There may even be Black Lotus Sect’s secret schemes involved..."

But Zhong Shenxiu wasn’t planning to practice any of it.

After memorizing all the methods, he closed the book and looked towards the Heavenly Show System.

[Detection of Black Lotus Daoist Scripture, Void Divine Power, 50 Heavenly Show Points required to integrate into Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power, do you wish to integrate?]

"Heavenly Show System, you’re getting cocky, daring to charge me..." Zhong Shenxiu shook his head, but still chose, "Yes!"

The next moment, as 50 Heavenly Show Points vanished, he immediately felt a subtle change within his body, in the mark representing the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power...
