Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Passing the Dharma (Additional for 3200 monthly tickets)

"I am a master from the lineage of transmission," stated Master Ming Xue, "If your Master Long Hezi were here, he would also call me Master Uncle..."

Her voice flowed slowly like ice springs of the Heavenly Mountain.

"Master Uncle!"

Zhong Shenxiu performed another salute, feeling the gaze of this Master as tangible, sweeping across his body, and even... attempting to peer into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Fortunately, he possessed the Blood and Flesh Magic of the Headless Earl combined with the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability, which concealed everything flawlessly.

Of course, being too flawlessly ordinary could also raise suspicion, so he chose to deliberately expose some minor flaws.

"Eh?"

Master Ming Xue uttered softly, suddenly pointing her finger.

Zhong Shenxiu had no escape and was tapped on the forehead by that finger.

He gave a wry smile as three mystical lights radiated from his body.

One was the Taiqing Demon Refining Immortal Light, carrying a stern intent to refine demons.

Another was the Taiyi Divine Light, capable of suppressing thousands of devils.

And then there was the Tai Xu Protective Mystical Light, existing between the real and the unreal, most profound and enigmatic.

Even his cultivation level suddenly ’soared’ to the peak of the Yang Gang Eighth Layer, just a step away from being able to condense the Divine Power.

"This... this is..."

Lan Ying’er was taken aback, "Taiqing Demon Refining Immortal Light, Taiyi Demon Suppressing Divine Light, Tai Xu Protective Mystical Light... nephew, when did you master both Yang Gang Skills?"

She wanted to ask, it had only been a few days since Sima Shu passed down the Yang Gang Skill.

How had he reached the peak of Yang Gang Eighth Layer so quickly?

This was not common!

"This method of concealing your aura is not bad, but how could it escape my eyes?"

Master Ming Xue hummed softly, "Being a loose cultivator, cautious and prudent, and having gained the chance to prepare for supreme Divine Power, some caution is inevitable... But after joining our lineage of transmission, you cannot be so overly careful. The path of cultivation requires a heart walking on thin ice, that’s not wrong, but if that is constant, you lose the spirit of courageous progress. This balance of relaxation and tension, the way of yin and yang, must be carefully mastered..."

"Very well..."

Lan Ying’er, not a fool herself, bit her small tiger tooth and glared at Zhong Shenxiu, "So you had obtained the Yang Gang Skill long ago and lied to us saying you hadn’t... Even secretly cultivating to this extent, just short of breaking through the Divine Power."

"This too is acting as a teacher in disguise; after all, he has yet to truly enter the door. It was somewhat excessive for Long Hezi to pass him the complete Gang Sha Chapter of the Dragon and Tiger Pill Book..."

Master Ming Xue said.

At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu could only blush with shame and offered another deep salute, "Thank you, Master Uncle, for passing on the Divine Power Method to me!"

Before this, apart from concealing his Divine Power, he had employed a minor tactic.

That was placing a layer of Yang Gang Eighth Layer skin over the skin of a Divine Power Practitioner, then using a slightly inferior method to cover it up, effectively setting a trap.

He had already mastered the Thousand Transformations Divine Power and the Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power, slightly simulating the auras of the previous three spells was not a difficult task.

This Master Ming Xue, as expected, spotted this flaw and deduced the ’truth’ herself.

"Hmm... your mastery of the Daoist Skill, all derived from the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book,’ is most pure," Master Ming Xue nodded in strong approval, "If in the future you could achieve the Divine Power Realm and condense the five great Divine Powers, you might be listed among the True Inheritors. Given time, your accomplishment might even surpass that of Long Hezi..."

"As a Primordial Pill Elder in the lineage of transmission, I have the authority to bestow the Divine Power upon you; as for the Dan Formation Method... wait until you return to the sect. Your master will teach it to you then."

At that moment, her gaze upon Zhong Shenxiu was akin to beholding a fine piece of brilliant jade.

Though the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’ is merely an Inner Sect legacy, there are still very few disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect who genuinely condense the five Divine Powers.

Especially the first-grade Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power!

The combination of the three spells requires an exceedingly rare Gang Sha Qi. It has been a hundred years since a disciple capable of gathering the necessary preconditions had appeared within the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Many Inner Sect disciples focus single-mindedly, forsaking this first-grade Divine Power for the pathway of the Second Grade Five Elements Heavenly Escape.

But not to mention that the higher the Divine Power, the greater the likelihood of Core Formation, speaking solely of Divine Power Realm combat abilities, how can a second-grade Divine Power compare to the first-grade?

One could say, merely by Su Daoshi mastering these three spells, unless there are significant moral deviations, for minor issues, all the high-ranking members of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect would turn a blind eye.

After all, the path of the Immortal Dao values individual secrets!

Everyone has their own little secrets, and as long as they do not undermine fundamental stances, there is no need to relentlessly probe and question.

Otherwise, it might lead to the alienation of disciples or the inability to cultivate outstanding talents.

Master Ming Xue pointed this out and subtly moved past it, further granting the Divine Power Method, as a display of the magnanimity of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect to win the heart of Su Daoshi.

"Thank you, Master Uncle,"

Zhong Shenxiu could only express his deep gratitude, thanking repeatedly.

"Little nephew, who would have thought that you are nearly catching up to my cultivation level..." Lan Ying’er patronizingly patted Zhong Shenxiu’s shoulder, "Strive to ascend to the Divine Power soon, and enter the Inner Sect. Then you can become my junior brother..."

At this time, Sima Shu and others also arrived, facing Master Ming Xue.

Master Ming Xue’s expression slightly chilled as she spoke, "I have found the Shenxiao Thunder Seal, and I have just visited the battlefield... confirming that Zhang Taiyi indeed perished here. The Black Lotus God Master has profound skills, and I am not necessarily a match. Let us return to the sect first, and we shall discuss this matter later... hehe, if those old folks from the Zhang Family are disgruntled, let them come personally."

She was, after all, a Primordial Pill of the transmitting lineage, and her relationship with Zhang Taiyi was not particularly good.

This visit to Fufeng, to investigate the events, recover the Shenxiao Thunder Seal, and incidentally punish those from the Fufeng Protectorate, fulfilled the Emperor’s command to intimidate the Prince and the Grand Protector, had already perfectly accomplished the tasks.

Expecting her to seek vengeance for Zhang Taiyi against the enigmatic Black Lotus God Master was frankly too much.

...

After everyone had left, Sima Shu stayed behind, "Master... about this matter of Su Daoshi..."

"I have already seen Long Hezi’s disciple token. As long as the major matters are not compromised, the minor ones are inconsequential."

Master Ming Xue waved her hand dismissively, "Long Hezi is ultimately a disciple of my transmitting lineage and knows the rules. Teaching the Gang Sha Chapter of the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’ was somewhat overstepping, but not so much as to teach more... As for your concerns, I am fully aware... Su Daoshi’s background is quite clean. It’s hardly likely that, for the sake of making him an informant, the Su Family would risk the destruction of their entire family and even involve a prince, right?"

"Moreover... I only taught him the Divine Power Chapter of the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book,’ and even if we set everything else aside, were it to spread, it wouldn’t matter much, the Ten Directions Beast Skill and the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique, along with various other spells, have already been officially circulated within the Second Yan Han Empire... Even the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book,’ the Royal Secret Vault likely possesses the complete texts..."

"I value this person more compared to these potential risks. We must not discourage him!" Master Ming Xue asserted.

Sima Shu couldn’t help but fall silent, understanding that Su Daoshi, who had potential for the first-grade Divine Power, held an extraordinary status, already preparing for True Inheritance.

Should he one day breakthrough to the Divine Power and enter the Inner Sect, his status might even surpass his own.

As for other possibilities? Even if there were oversights now, once they returned to the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, and held the entrance ceremony with the Great Thousand Mirror illuminating everything inside and out, the Heart Inquiry Stone examining the inner truth, and the high-ranking Primordial Spirit Dharma Bodies analyzing causes and effects, there was no fear of any spies or malicious intents.
