Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Taoist Inheritance Dispute, 4 Great Demon Sects
"Let’s not rush. One must first be strong like iron to forge it well, so let’s cultivate calmly and wait for the changes in the world."
The struggle for Taoist inheritance is bound to be a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, with ruling authorities favoring one side, even if victory is achieved by chance, countless rebellions will arise.
Besides, Song Lin currently does not have the strength.
At least wait until Spirit Refining is perfected.
"The Yin Yang Sect sent a message a few days ago, saying that now is the time for the Taoist School to counterattack. The Taoist School has chosen the Yangg Family, which is powerful, and is on the verge of unifying the land and eliminating Buddhism!" Wei Zixu said.
"Was the Yin Yang Sect formerly the Yin Yang School?" Song Lin asked with interest.
"Indeed."
"Interesting."
They once fought fiercely, but now they have become allies.
"Let them handle their affairs. We will first restore our strength."
As the world develops, Fangxian Dao is considered the weakest among the Four Great Demon Sects.
The reason lies with Song Lin, as he only passed on the Cultivation Technique up to the Qi Refinement Realm.
Later, the descendants had to explore Qi Refinement methods on their own.
Wei Zixu has achieved Qi Refining Great Success, but he struggles with the Cultivation Technique, thus unable to break through to Divine Establishment for a long time.
"I plan to teach you the technique for Divine Establishment. By the way, what is your True Qi?"
"Yin Kui True Water Qi."
"Third-rank True Qi, not bad," Song Lin said. "I have Innate Mica Qi here. You can use this Qi for Spirit Refining. Moreover, I plan to grant you all the Secret Technique for commanding ghosts and gods."
The people of Fangxian Dao exchanged glances, their hearts filled with excitement.
Having witnessed the Grandmaster summon ghosts and gods with a wave of his hand, everyone hoped to possess such ability.
"Everyone must cultivate the Water Technique Refining Technique. Only a Liturgy Taoist may refine Rampant Soldiers. Those Taoists who haven’t received the Liturgy may not refine soldiers, or they will be considered traitors."
Song Lin intends to introduce some of his thoughts from the real world.
Balancing moral character with cultivation and the Taoist Realm.
The Water Technique of refining soldiers requires the worship of the Temple Emperor Seal, and the refined Rampant Soldiers will be stored within the Temple Emperor Seal.
The talisman is equivalent to a license; only with it can one summon these Rampant Soldiers, otherwise, even the ones they refine themselves cannot be summoned.
"
"Are we not concerned about the outside world?" Wei Zixu asked.
"Of course not. You reply that Fangxian Dao has suffered heavy losses and has announced mountain closure; they truly can’t achieve anything," Song Lin said with an undeniable tone.
"As you command."
Song Lin observed this Fangxian Island.
With over two hundred years of construction, the facilities were mostly complete.
In the future, he could retreat for solitary meditation here.
As for the outside world, he indeed did not want to bother with it.
Currently, the reputation of the Orthodox Taoist School is quite poor, with Fangxian Dao, Xuanyin Sect, Yin Yang Sect, and Heavenly Heart Dao being labeled as the Four Great Demon Sects.
These all opposed the Buddhist Sect.
The Buddhist Sect, led by Pudu Zen Temple, stood on the moral high ground, opposing them was seen as being part of a Demon Sect, and some self-proclaimed righteous Taoists closely surrounded the Buddhist Sect.
Under such public opinion and social environment, the Sui Dynasty supported by the Taoists was bound to not last long.
As the saying goes, prosperity leads to decline, and in the future, as the number of Taoist practitioners grows, there would be many who do not produce anything, becoming parasites, which is also the root of decline.
When Taoism once flourished, certain mavericks also caused the Taoist School to bear many false charges, labeling them as a Demon Sect was not without cause.
Several Southern Dynasty Emperors promoted Buddhism because of this.
To ensure long-lasting prosperity, it is crucial to strictly control entry and exit at the roots.
Later, Song Lin passed on the Secret Technique to everyone.
"Grandmaster, what about me?" Zhengyang asked with a bit of envy.
"You?" Song Lin glanced at him, "You have your fortunes. Stay here and guard, while I go to Tangg Valley."
After saying this, regardless of Zhengyang’s response, he flew towards the Extreme East.
He didn’t know how long he flew, but the climate became increasingly hot.
Finally, he saw brilliant golden light ahead.
The sea within a radius of three thousand miles was in a boiling state, and the climate was as hot as a furnace. Without the yin nature Emperor’s True Energy, ordinary people could not reach here.
Once his eyes slightly adjusted, Song Lin saw that the golden light was emitted by a small island.
The island spanned a radius of a thousand miles, with multicolored soil, smooth and flat, clearly reflecting the sky.
Tangg Valley is also ’Yang Valley’, the legendary place where the sun rises, and it has a Fusang Tree.
The Fusang Tree is unmistakable.
The trunk is straight and tall, entirely golden, with rings of sun patterns, branches, and leaves resembling a mulberry tree, bearing mulberries, red as fire, with green leaves, and bird patterns of a bird standing on one leg preparing to fly.
These are two trees clinging together, thus named Fusang Wood.
It is the legendary place where the sun rests and bathes.
Below the Fusang Wood is a stream flowing from east to west, its water crystal clear, vaguely showing gems.
Song Lin cautiously stepped onto the island.
It is said to be the resting place of the golden crow, but there was no golden crow to be seen; perhaps the tale of the sunrise is just hearsay.
In the sky above, using the Taiyin Golden Pupil to observe all sides, after confirming there was nothing unusual, Song Lin came under the Fusang Tree.
The temperature was increasingly scorching, and his Moonlight Glaze Body on the surface seemed to be unable to sustain, with the Emperor’s True Energy inside him being consumed rapidly.
"Can support for at most three hours."
Song Lin came under the Fusang Tree and used his flying sword to cut off a mulberry, eating one.
Bang!
The mulberry instantly dissolved upon entry, with vast energy flowing throughout his body, causing him to turn completely red like a boiled shrimp.
The mulberry indeed contained Innate Pure Yang Qi.
Now is the chance!
Song Lin recited a spell silently, guiding the golden Qi to circulate throughout his body, while visualizing a golden light in the east that shone upon him, illuminating him inside and out, making him entirely translucent.
His soul naturally bathed in the golden light, absorbing this scorching golden light.
At this stage, the Taiyin Bone Mirror was no longer effective, as he could not see the divine soul, relying solely on his own understanding.
It wasn’t the most dangerous place yet.
The most dangerous part was to separate the soul from the body and directly bathe in Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
This step was extremely perilous and arduous, with any slight misstep resulting in the soul’s annihilation.
However, it is a necessary path in cultivation; once completed, the soul returns, gaining the ability to change reality.
Those hundred-mile flying swords and dueling on the dharma altar are based on the ability for the soul to exit the body.
Moreover, at this stage, the soul could independently leave the body and survive, equating to having half a life more.
In the ensuing days, Song Lin held on for three hours before retreating into the stream to recover his True Qi and continued cultivating.
During this time, he also took the opportunity to reassure everyone of his safety.
As for the opportunity mentioned by Shentu and Yulei, it had yet to be found. He would find it before rescuing Ann Qi.
Unknowingly, three months passed.
Progress was slow, the soul adapted to Pure Yang Qi, but it had yet to reach the conditions for an out-of-body experience.
In three months, the Buddhist Sect did not come to seek revenge, seemingly accepting the loss silently, perhaps blocked by other sects.
As time flew by, another three months passed.
And the day for receiving the Liturgy had arrived, so Song Lin prepared to return to the real world.
...
In the real world, at Hidden Sword Manor.
Song Lin opened his eyes and came back to himself.
The flow of time was one month to one day, but only ten days had passed outside.
The time for receiving the Liturgy was approaching.
Divine Establishment granted the Alliance Power Talisman, which was not within the temple master’s authority to bestow; it required a higher-level congregation.
Hence, Song Lin needed to make a trip to the congregation.
He flew to the Taoist Temple.
Arriving at the Master’s Hall.
Beneath the dharma altar, the temple master lit incense, looking much better, with a rosy complexion as if the weakness of that day was only a façade.
Song Lin couldn’t help but feel wary, this fellow was truly insidious.
Jiuyou raised his head and smiled, "Are you going to receive the Liturgy? Great, take two people with you."
Two people stood on both sides of the dharma altar. At first, thought to be Taoist disciples, they turned out to be familiar faces upon a closer look.
Pale-faced, filled with yin energy, Shi Yinhua, and the tall Wang Ziyue.
Both saw Song Lin and immediately bowed in salute.
"Greetings, Taoist Song."
"After the Liturgy ceremony, there is a Five Thunders Heavenly Master meeting. In theory, only those with Divine Establishment can attend, but the Taoist Temple has two slots, so take them to broaden their horizons."
"Alright."
Song Lin did not object, having no grievances with these two individuals.
Judging by their attitude, they were quite respectful to him as a strong practitioner.
"You should set off before long; don’t miss the timing."
Song Lin took the two back to the Patrol.
Wang Ziyue, by his side, gleamed at Erlang’s infantry.
"Taoist, what skill you have, thinking of combining bird hounds and Rampant Soldiers. It’s indeed stronger than the previous Fire Crow Soldiers."
Wang Ziyue, known for his expertise in commanding Rampant Soldiers, self-proclaimed as a genius, realized his inferiority upon meeting a high master.
