Chapter 134: Chapter 130 Heavenly Master’s Dao, 5 Thunder Troop Training! (Large Chapter)

"Song Lin?" Chi Hai exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn’t expected this young man to have such ability!

As one of the Jungle Five Masters, Chi Hai did not practice the Refining Soldiers Skill, but he could still discern skillfulness.

Song Lin’s capabilities were obviously superior to the jungle members, ranking first at least in refining soldiers and being top-notch in deploying formations.

Soon, a group arrived nearby.

The Chi Hai Scripture Master seemed to discover something, hurriedly stopped everyone, and said, "Don’t act rashly!"

Amid the sixty-four thousand Rampant Soldiers, Song Lin sat with his eyes closed in contemplation, and a bright red Temple Emperor Dharma Seal glowed at his brow.

Using the blessing of the Temple Emperor, Song Lin was able to share the perspective of every Rampant Soldier.

Sixty-four thousand Rampant Soldiers were like starlight points, forming a golden Eight Diagram pattern in his mind.

The overwhelming information gave him a sense of light-headed dizziness.

Thus, Song Lin formed the Carefree Heavenly Heart Seal, entering a state of Heavenly Human Connection.

Feeling the natural essence of the universe, the Innate Five Qi rose within his chest.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, along with Yin Yang and the Five Elements, separated into Innate Five Qi, converging at the heart.

Thunder served as the pivotal mechanism of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and the Five Elements. The "Innate Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Generalization True Technique" stated: Control Heaven and Earth to command, applying Five Thunder techniques to govern soldiers.

This Thunder Skill prioritized governing soldiers over generating electricity.

There was no fundamental spell for governing soldiers; rather, it relied on individual Heavenly Human Connection. It was a truly arcane and profound art.

Today, Song Lin followed the Five Thunders True Method, grasping the imperceptible energy flow.

Guiding the Five Thunders Qi within his chest, he envisioned the Innate Eight Diagram Array.

While maintaining the Carefree Heavenly Heart Seal, Song Lin recited a spell to summon the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals:

"Heavenly Thunder, honor upon honor, tigers and dragons clash in battle, sun and moon illuminate, guiding my clarity, granting me Heaven’s Soldiers and their law, following my commands, summoning Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Divine Soldiers and Generals, may the talisman descend! Swiftly as mandated by law!!"

A crackle!

Song Lin opened his eyes, released the Carefree Heavenly Heart Seal, extended his finger to draw a talisman in the air, each stroke of the Five Thunders Heavenly Soldier Talisman manifesting.

As the talisman was completed, Song Lin’s thoughts stirred, water materialized in the void, absorbing the talisman.

Boom!

The water spread outward, attaching itself to the Rampant Soldiers’ bodies.

All those of Chiliarch rank and above received Five Thunders Essence Qi from the unseen forces.

The appearance of the originally eight-foot-tall, crimson-haired black-skinned Rampant Soldiers began to shift.

Their bodies grew to a towering twelve feet, their skin turned crimson, their faces resembled red jade, their armors transformed into yellow, and two flags were fixed upon their backs. One bore the word "Wind," and the other "Fire," black field edged in gold.

Such were the Yellow Turban Warriors born from the resonance with the Five Thunders Essence Qi!

Meanwhile, an even more concentrated Five Thunders Qi shrouded the body of Erlang God.

A golden lightning vein surrounded Erlang God’s third eye at his brow.

Thunder Skills refined soldiers, summoning gods and generals.

"Charge!!"

Sixty-four Yellow Turban Warriors pulled out the flags from their backs and began waving them rapidly.

Whrrr!

Gale winds!

Blazing flames!

The formation released sixty-four gusts of wind and fire, which struck the horned giant fish.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Charred black pits emerged on the red-spotted skin of the horned giant fish.

The ferocious Yellow Turban Warriors flew straight to the giant fish, stabbing the flag’s sharp ends deep into its body.

"Roar!!"

The giant fish let out an angry roar, its tail sweeping horizontally, breaking through the formation and combusting thousands of Rampant Soldiers into ashes.

Yet the Innate Eight Diagram Array focused on resilience, and the Temple Emperor Seal immediately replenished the soldiers.

At this moment, Erlang God leaped high, his brow’s lightning vein glowing brilliantly.

"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, heed my command!"

"Roar!!"

Countless Rampant Soldiers and Generals raised their heads in furious howls!

All their spiritual energies converged onto Erlang God’s body.

Erlang God pulled his silver bow, aiming straight into the heavens.

Boom!

The skies churned.

Thunder roared like a thousand armies.

Dense purple lightning bolts descended from the sky.

Boom!

The horned giant fish’s every inch of skin turned to charred coal, leaving it utterly drained.

Boom!

The scorched corpse collapsed to the ground, the tremors shaking the earth.

This move: most of the Rampant Soldiers exhausted their Primordial Energy and vanished.

Song Lin’s True Qi within his body could barely hold up; as the formation’s array eye, his True Qi depletion was multiplied.

The other eight array eyes fared even worse, leaning on each other for support just to stay upright.

The formation and lightning had greatly drained their strength as well.

Even so, their eyes revealed excitement.

"We did it!" Wang Ziyue excitedly hugged the nearby fat man and shadowy youth.

This was the combined power of Xuanke Temple!

Under the leadership of Song Lin, the Rampant Soldiers and the Innate Eight Diagram Array had unleashed a lightning strike to defeat the Core Formation Great Demon.

Their united effort managed to kill a Great Demon of such caliber, a feat never before felt in their ranks.

Even the cold and unfeeling Shi Yinhua couldn’t help but smile, thinking that perhaps this generation of Song Lin Temple Master was truly different.

Song Lin smiled faintly, his image firmly cemented in everyone’s hearts after today.

However, the horned giant fish wasn’t entirely dead; it was time to strike the finishing blow.

Boom!

Just then, the blackened corpse of the horned fish’s eyes suddenly opened. Gritting its resolve, its body rapidly swelled as though it were a balloon on the verge of exploding.

"Not good!!"

Chi Hai’s expression changed drastically. This creature was clearly preparing to self-destruct.

In an urgency, he transformed into the hundred-foot Green Flame Candle Fire Dharma Body.

The Dharma Body turned into a streak of light, effortlessly piercing into the body of the giant fish.

Whrrr!

In Song Lin’s vision, the giant fish ignited in green flames from the inside out, disintegrating into ashes within moments, leaving neither sound nor scent.

When the ash dissipated, Chi Hai reappeared in True Body form, his complexion exceptionally radiant, as if he had consumed a divine tonic.

Chi Hai stepped forward in a single stride, appearing beside Song Lin, and patted his shoulder.

"Well done!!"

"You flatter me."

Lian Wenzhao and his entourage arrived belatedly.

Seeing the scene before him, Song Lin didn’t extend kindness, instead smiling as he remarked, "Taoist, why did you flee mid-battle? Could it be that you doubted my ability?"

Lian Wenzhao flushed red, the veins on his forehead protruding, yet he couldn’t withstand Song Lin’s intense gaze, conceding repeatedly that it was a misunderstanding.

"Still vying for Temple Master leadership?"

"No more!" Having said that, Lian Wenzhao greeted Chi Hai Scripture Master, saying, "Master Chi Hai, I have urgent business to attend to; I must take my leave."

Then he left hurriedly and embarrassed.

Chi Hai, a man adept at understanding nuances, was fully aware of the situation.

"From today onward, no one will dare underestimate you!"

Executing a Five Thunders Water Technique to refine soldiers in front of cultivators from various Taoist Temples, and severely injuring a Core Formation fish demon to near death, proved his formidable strength.

"Thank you!"

With those words, Song Lin knew his position was secure.

"The mission is nearly concluded. The Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master from Xuanzhen Sect joined forces with Taoist Heavenly Masters to kill the North Sea Fish. This time, humanity’s vanguard prevailed."

Chi Hai finally brought good news.

"That’s excellent." Song Lin smiled.

Who wouldn’t wish for peace in the world?

"Rest for now, and then head to the jungle to partake in the liturgy. The true battle at the Dragon Abyss Conference has yet to begin!"

"Understood. Taoist, why not rest your feet for a moment?" Song Lin said, he still had many questions.

"Sure."

Chi Hai agreed heartily but, for reasons unknown, dismissed his companions, sending them back to Dragon Head Peak.

The two entered the grand hall.

Chi Hai initiated the discussion, saying, "The work at the Taoist Temple is simple: make annual offerings of certain goods and dharma coins, and complete the Dharma Assembly tasks."

"The Evil Extermination Jiao is ending soon. Do not forget to submit the merit record to Mei Mountain Jungle; the jungle offers subsidies, and your contributions this time are major, perhaps earning you a special official title."

"A special official title?"

"Yes, think of it as a special form of blessing. With an official title, you gain various abilities and effects."

Not everyone had only one official certificate; some had many with several concurrent positions in different Taoist Temples.

For example, Xuanke Temple’s General System.

Chi Hai True Person held an official certificate for Mystical Sect Cavalry.

This was granted only to fourth-rank cultivators skilled in Five Thunders Talisman techniques.

Having this title enabled entry into the Mystical Sect’s spirit realm, siphoning green flames to enhance cultivation.

"What is the Mystical Sect?"

"I can’t elaborate too much about the origins of Heaven and Earth Mystical Sect; this place is said to be the embodiment of a certain Great Dao, controlled solely by first-rank Heavenly Masters."

The powerful aspect of Taoist talismans was their ability to be passed down.

For instance, the forefather Sanmao True Monarch comprehended a profound Great Dao, leading to Heaven and Earth Mystical Sect.

After the True Monarch ascended to the Heavenly Court, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Mystical Sect persisted, passed down only to those who reached its realm.

"I see." Song Lin was filled with admiration.

Heavenly Masters embodying the Dao, progenitors carving out new paths, wielding power over billions of souls, shaping worldly destiny—this was true freedom.

The current Heavenly Master of Heaven and Earth Mystical Sect was the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master, also known as Elder Tianji, who governed hundreds of millions within the Taoist Alliance.

Being a temple master was merely the first step in a journey of ten thousand miles.

"The North Sea Fish stretched approximately eight hundred miles; slaying such a creature means never wanting for fish meat again. Take a look at its skeleton near the Spirit Treasure Sect sometime." Chi Hai said.

Demons preyed upon humans, and humans consumed demons.

In a few days, the fish meat of the North Sea Fish would be distributed as relief grain, enough to feed the population for quite some time.

"Have you heard of Phoenix Platform Dragon Throwing?" Chi Hai suddenly asked.

"Dragon Throwing?" Song Lin questioned.

"Precisely. This event occurs once every sixty years. In a few years, everyone possessing the Five Thunders Talisman will be eligible to compete, and those with the Alliance Power Talisman have voting rights. When the time comes, could I count on your vote?"

Chi Hai saw Song Lin’s youth and neutrality within the factions and decided to lay his cards on the table.

Unlike Taoist Temples, where affairs were dictated by temple masters, Jungle factions operated differently. Decisions required voting, often calling external authorities to manage.

"Er... I’m not too clear on this. Let’s discuss it another day." Song Lin replied, feeling helpless.

The Taoist School was undoubtedly intricate—endless meetings, Dharma Assemblies, and labyrinthine relationships.

"Very well, rest for now."

Chi Hai stood up and left.

After Chi Hai’s departure, Song Lin’s gaze turned solemn.

Behind Lian Wenzhao was Zhao Wuji of the Five Masters; Chi Hai clearly had ulterior motives, pressuring him to choose sides arbitrarily.

It seemed navigating the Taoist School’s inner workings required caution.

"This harvest wasn’t bad at all." Song Lin mused.

Name: Song Lin

Realm: Divine Establishment Period

Taoist Realm: Sixty Years

Divine Skills: "Taiyin Secret Technique," "Temple Taoist Skill," "Peace Xuanke Soul Refining Technique," "Moon Cultivation Skill," "Innate Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Generalization True Technique," "Taiji Xuanzhen Heavenly Master Seal Scripture," "Heavenly Repairing Demon Seed Skill," "Innate Eight Diagram Array."

Blessings: "Qi Control Six Voids," "Moon Cultivation Great Witch," "Temple Blessing," "Golden Crow Yang Pattern"...

He had comprehended the elusive Heavenly Human Connection, significantly improved the Five Thunders True Skill, mastering methods to refine Yellow Turban Warriors and Yang Thunder Captains, elevating his Taoist Realm to sixty years.

He transformed Rampant Soldiers with ghostly qualities into stronger Yellow Turban Warriors and thunder-commanding Yang Thunder Captains. The former was systematic; the latter relied on fortune.

Unlike Rampant Soldiers, Yellow Turban Warriors couldn’t be arbitrarily refined, yet with Rampant Soldiers as raw material, they greatly reduced time.

Yellow Turban Warriors, born from sensing Five Thunders Essence Qi, could be mass-produced through learning the Five Thunders Talisman. At least replacing all Hundred-man Generals with Yellow Turban Warriors seemed feasible.

The trained Yellow Turban Warriors were stored inside the Temple Emperor Seal, revived upon death by its power.

After deliberating, Song Lin returned to the Nuogao Record World.

This period was dedicated to conquering story realms.

The goal was to accomplish Karma Effect Completion before the final battle arrived.

...

Nuogao Record World, Year Thirty-Five.

Two years had passed since Song Lin last entered.

On this particular day at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain came an unexpected visitor—someone Song Lin never anticipated.
