Floating Immortal Order-Chapter 226: Water Yin Lightning Scroll

Chapter 226: Water Yin Lightning Scroll

The makings of a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord!

Such a high evaluation would leave anyone shocked beyond belief!

Seemingly unaware of Xu Disheng’s fluctuating emotions, Celestial Tide Spirit Master continued, “The fact that you were able to obtain a Profound Treasure from such tiny beginnings shows that you are blessed with outstanding luck. On top of that, you were able to condense a one in millions profound law foundation. What Greater Lord Zhuri said was no exaggeration.” 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

As it turned out, the esteemed Greater Lord Zhuri had taken notice of Xu Disheng a long time ago.

Back in the Zhao Realm, when Little Sky destroyed his own true spirit to activate the power of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, Greater Lord Zhuri had perceived all of this happening from back in the Shangqing Eight Mountains.

In fact, Realm Master Kunxu had only bestowed Xu Disheng the title of Sacred Son because of that one time that Greater Lord Zhuri brought him up.

It was at that point that Chen Xunming, Peak Master of Clearheart Peak, received the orders from Realm Master Kunxu. He flew out on his qilin spiritual beast, and barely managed to save Xu Disheng in time from the clutches of Spirit Controlling Spirit Master.

If it weren’t for all of this, why would Realm Master Kunxu, in the distant, remote Yuluo Realm, pay any attention to a trifling, seemingly insignificant Sea of Qi stage disciple from the Mingxin Mountain Range?

The immensely powerful and far-sighted Greater Lord Zhuri had long since seen through Xu Disheng. With such an almighty powerhouse keeping tabs on him, it was pretty clear that it wasn’t any coincidence that Xu Disheng was able to avoid disaster back at the Luminous Cloud Abyss.

However, even Greater Lord Zhuri could have never imagined that the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, which he thought was a ‘Profound Treasure’, was actually an incredibly ancient, immeasurably powerful Immortal Treasure!

Even he could not have guessed that all of the things that allowed Xu Disheng to have the makings of a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord—his immense luck and his unparalleled powers of comprehension—were only because he was a consciousness born from a supremely ancient existence.

“Ancestor, I have already made my decision. I wish to join Cloud Abyss Peak and follow Soul Suppressor Sacred Son,” He Ziming said respectfully, suddenly stepping forward from his standby position next to Celestial Tide Spirit Master.

Celestial Tide Spirit Master nodded. With a smile, he said, “Soul Suppressor, would it be alright to add another disciple to your ranks?”

“By all means,” Xu Disheng replied.

“The number of Anxi Province citizens with profound meridians was great. There was even one person with a Rank 3 Spiritual Root. Although this achievement was counted under Peak Shaking Spirit Master and Bai Lu’s merit, the Mountain Range will still grant you a reward.”

Having said that, Celestial Tide Spirit Master took out a command jade slip. With an inexplicable expression, he continued, “Mountain Master Yangze has prepared a tremendous reward for you. However, you will need to go pick it up yourself.”

… …

Cloud Abyss Peak.

In the jade ripples of the Profound Resonance Pond, the pure spirit lotus flowers were still in bloom upon the surface, their beautiful petals swaying gently in the wind as they purified and dispelled impurities.

Xu Disheng was seated alone in the seat of honor of Profound Resonance Hall. There were several jade slips laid out on the table in front of him.

Water Yin Lightning Scroll.

Rainbow Transformations Record.

Primordial Canon of Supreme Mystery.

(TL: Primordial Canon of Supreme Mystery is most likely a reference to the , an ancient Confucian work, as the titles are made up of similar characters.)

Xu Disheng had spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy these three complete Dao Foundation stage cultivation methods from the Cultivation Method Pavilion in the main branch of Affairs Hall in the Wenyuan Mountain Range. At the moment, his brows were furrowed as he held the jade slip for the Water Yin Lightning Scroll in one hand.

This cultivation method was similar to the Starfire Record that Mo Yue cultivated. It was composed of three elements, and boasted shocking might.

What was different was that the Water Yin Lightning Scroll was composed of the water, yin, and lightning elements, and only could be cultivated starting from the Dao Foundation stage.

Meanwhile, Xu Disheng’s Azure Ocean was simply a pure water element cultivation method. Practicing this type of cultivation method might be able to produce terrifying might, but doing so had many downsides. It wasn’t really suited for Xu Disheng.

The Water Yin Lightning Scroll cost a whopping 19,000 spirit stones. Even among Dao Foundation stage cultivation methods, it was extremely expensive.

The reason why Xu Disheng’s brows were furrowed right now was because this cultivation method had a harsh requirement demanding the user to have a minimum of Rank 3 Spiritual Root. He wasn’t sure whether or not he met this requirement at the moment.

The incarnation of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, the cyan jade flute, was constantly increasing Xu Disheng’s talent. However, he would have to test to see if he had already reached Rank 3 Spiritual Root.

After comprehending the Water Yin Lightning Scroll for over 10 days, a hint of extremely pure yin energy flashed in Xu Disheng’s eyes. A clap of low thunder rang out within Profound Resonance Hall as a coil of black thunder began to revolve and entwine unceasingly at the tip of Xu Disheng’s long, white forefinger.

This was the first spell of the Water Yin Lightning Scroll, Spirit Subduing Yin Lightning.

The fact that this Spirit Subduing Yin Lightning could appear meant that Xu Disheng’s Spiritual Root Sequence had already entered the realms of the upper class. He now had a Rank 3 Spiritual Root!

The Rainbow Transformations Record was a simplified version of a Higher Knowledge ability. It originally stemmed from a cultivation method called Seven-Colored Heavenly Rainbow, which could only be cultivated at the Primordial Spirit stage. It was simplified into its current form to allow Dao Foundation stage cultivators to practice it and gain the ability to use a preliminary Higher Knowledge ability.

The Rainbow Transformations Record only had one move, but it was very suitable for Xu Disheng. It was a highly effective simplified Higher Knowledge ability with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Xu Disheng was earning the cultivation resources for ruling over a Peak, and he now had tens of thousands of spirit stones amassed. Sitting in the stores of Cloud Abyss Peak’s armory were as many as two Psychic Magic Treasures, several common Magic Treasures, and a few hundred top-grade Spirit Tools. He was free to use these resources as he wished, but they weren’t really helpful to him in any way. He had only taken some medicinal pills and herbs that Dao Foundation stage cultivators could use, as well as one Psychic Magic Treasure called the Painted Heart Paper Doll. He had left practically all of the remaining cultivation resources in Cloud Abyss Peak’s warehouse, completely untouched.

There weren’t many people in Cloud Abyss Peak, and among them were a hundred or so Sea of Qi stage disciples who had only been recruited to meet the sect’s quota. If it were any other similarly-sized Peak, the cultivation resources that Cloud Abyss Peak had wouldn’t be nearly enough.

In terms of ranking, Cloud Abyss Peak was ranked around 20th or so in the Mingxin Mountain Range, second only to the Peaks containing the domains of Divine Core stage Spirit Masters. The other Peaks that were comparable in terms of ranking all had dozens of Dao Foundation stage disciples and several hundred Sea of Qi stage disciples. The share of cultivation resources distributed to the Mountain Master of each Peak every 50 years was a mind-bogglingly massive amount, especially for the Peaks near the top of the ranking.

The share of cultivation resources that a Divine Core stage Spirit Master would receive was naturally higher than the amount that Xu Disheng would get, but the share of cultivation resources that Xu Disheng received due to his status as a Sacred Son was still by no means small.

With the support of the Ancient Paramount Bell, any spell or technique that Xu Disheng used was amplified several times in strength. This was also why he was able to crush Sacred Son Bai Lu.

But for some reason, the techniques from Soul Song never received the amplification effect of the Paramount Ancient Bell. The Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light, an astoundingly tyrannical soul-targeting spell at the Sea of Qi stage, was surprisingly ineffective at the Dao Foundation stage.

Soul Song was the life-accompanying cultivation method that the Bodhisattva, his previous incarnation, had left behind for him. There had been an unexpected mishap at the time of the Bodhisattva’s reincarnation. Lord Buddha had awakened just a sliver and sealed the Bodhisattva’s mind and true spirit. However, this was convenient for Xu Disheng, who had been practicing cultivation incessantly throughout these years, and had already cultivated Soul Song to the fifth scripture, the Extinguishing Soul Mantra.

Despite all this, Xu Disheng would never believe even for a second that the might of Soul Song was limited to this degree. After all, this was a technique that even someone as almighty as a Bodhisattva had cultivated. The myriad of powerful mysteries to it were still vivid in his mind. How could it be simple?
