At dusk, at Tianyin Pavilion.

Bai Cang raised multiple layers of restrictive spells, thus isolating the rumbling sound of water from the outside.

Ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of pure gold, a hundred bushels of bright pearls, and ten pieces of spirit jade.

Various offerings were arranged according to the four cardinal directions to form a simple altar.

Bai Cang held the "Earth Core Azure Lotus Flame" in his hands, sat cross-legged in the middle, and silently chanted in his heart: "Ranking, promotion!"

Before the words were finished, a roaring sound arose.

A magnificent and grand imperial edict guided Bai Cang's spirit to transcend to boundless heights.

In the vast, boundless void, without up or down, without any sense of direction, the boundless Dao talisman of the heavens reappeared, filling his vision.

An ancient aura, like that of the beginning of time, lingered around him.

"Disciple Bai Cang humbly requests the Ancestral Master to bestow the title!"

Bai Cang materialized into a hazy, illusory figure and bowed to the mysterious void.

The next instant, a magnificent and vast aura solidified his form, and the great Dao's divine voice resounded once more.

[Third ordination, additionally granted the Rank 8, Upper Grade: Supreme Divine Firmament Alliance Ordination Register, received the blessing: Remnant Heavenly Vessel, awakened talent: Forbidden Qi]

The Pot Heaven: The universe is vast within a sleeve, and the sun and moon are long within a pot. It can open up the void, contain Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed, and even the universe is vast, existing in the palm of one's hand.

【Talent: Qi Suppression】All phenomena and laws can be suppressed with Qi. Suppressing metal wounds will stop the bleeding; suppressing fire will prevent burning; suppressing ghosts and demons will bring peace; suppressing blades will prevent injury from weapons. If Qi is boundless, no law can invade.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

Bai Cang's heart was filled with ecstasy, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

The "Pot Heaven" needs no further explanation. When weak, it can hold things in the void; when strong, it can hold the universe in its palm and the universe in its sleeve. Its great supernatural power needs no further explanation.

The talent of "Qi suppression" is also terrifyingly strong. As long as one masters enough "Qi", one can be immune to all laws and suppress anything. It is simply "the law of words" and "the great art of silence".

One ordination, two extra benefits, double the joy!

"My future self is terrifyingly powerful!"

Bai Cang's joy was more than doubled, "Moreover, it can also upgrade other talents."

Thinking of this, Bai Cang raised his eyes to look.

In the vast and profound void, the Heavenly Dao Register, like a celestial canopy, faintly revealed three stars, corresponding to the three great blessings of "Phoenix Mandate," "Tongyou," and "Pot Heaven."

Besides the newly acquired "Hutian", "Fengyi" and "Tongyou" are shining brightly, indicating that they are in an upgradable state.

"Advanced Talent: Soul Suppression!"

As Bai Cang's thoughts turned, an invisible Daoist aura rose.

The stars that "Tongyou" transformed into suddenly dimmed.

The seal script that weaves together the "Soul-Suppressing" talent becomes increasingly complex and exquisite.

[Soul Guardian Advancement: Ghost Capture]

[Ghost Slayer: Commands all ghosts, refines and exorcises rampant soldiers, uses his body as an altar to slay ghosts and drive away gods, can refine and command Yellow Turban warriors, and can summon and command ghosts and gods of the underworld]

In an instant.

Bai Cang suddenly felt boundless messages rising in his mind.

The knowledge about how to "summon ghosts and gods", "refine and subdue rampant soldiers", and how to refine Yellow Turban warriors seemed to be imprinted deep in his soul, allowing him to master it without a teacher in an instant.

"It's like going from a slingshot to a cannon! It's like going from a slingshot to a cannon!"

Bai Cang was overjoyed. "The mad soldiers who can command arms are the perfect match for the Emperor's Banner. There is no need to kill people and extract souls, or use all kinds of evil deeds to refine the magic. They can directly summon ghosts and gods from the underworld."

"The Yellow Turban Warriors are comparable to the secret techniques of the Daoist soldiers in the major Xuanmen sects. Even the lowest-ranking Mountain Moving Warriors can fight against Qi Refining Warriors. Above them are Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals such as Sea-Treading Warriors and Sky-Turning Warriors. Even those at the Dao Foundation and Golden Core stages may not be unable to contend with them."

"Aside from being expensive, it's flawless!"

Even the lowest-ranking mountain-moving warrior must take the essence of the five elements as form and the spiritual fire of the five elements as spirit in order to gather and disperse the formless and to be driven at will.

Bai Cang estimated that he definitely couldn't afford to refine it in a short period of time.

But this did not diminish his ecstatic joy: No child cries every day, no gambler loses every day, a person can't be poor forever, right?

Haven't you heard the saying... poverty doesn't last three generations? The future is promising!

"Next, promotion: Drinking ceremony!"

An invisible Daoist aura rose, and the innate talisman underwent another transformation.

[Drinking with Etiquette: The Five Tones of Music]

The five tones correspond to the five elements: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu.

In an instant, Bai Cang felt that his talent for "musical music" had been fully unleashed.

"If the music is wrong, Zhou Lang will notice" is just child's play. More importantly, one can use the five notes to mobilize the power of the five elements and understand many of the profound principles of the five elements without a teacher.

If one cultivates the Five Elements techniques, it is as easy as eating and drinking; the power one unleashes is like adding wings to a tiger.

White is the metal element, yellow is the earth element, red is the fire element, green is the wood element, and black is the water element.

The various elements of Qi became clear and conspicuous in his eyes.

It's as if with a thought, one can mobilize it, as easily as calling upon an arm.

"Is this the real way to use a wall-mounted device?"

Joy welled up in Bai Cang's heart, and a semi-transparent light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Lord of the Azure Heavens]: Bai Cang

[Title]: Supreme Divine Firmament Alliance Register

[Rank]: Upper Eighth Rank

[Blessing]: Phoenix Grace (Slight), Penetrating the Netherworld (Incomplete), Heavenly Pot (Fragmented)

Fengyi (Wei): The phoenix arrives, a humble gentleman, a blessed family, auspicious energy arises naturally, and innate talents are blessed with the five tones.

Tongyou (Missing): It allows one to reach the netherworld, to be profound and divine, to communicate with the Nine Netherworlds, and to break through illusions, and to enhance the talent [Ghost Capture].

The Heavenly Pot (Fragment): The universe is vast within a sleeve, the sun and moon are long within a pot. It can open up the void, contain Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, and even the universe is vast, the whole world exists in the palm of one's hand, and is blessed with the innate [Forbidden Qi].

Promotion requirements: 10,000 taels of pure gold, 1,000 spirit pearls, 100 pieces of spirit jade, 10 strands of baleful aura, and 1 strand of protective aura.

"Good grief, don't even think about getting promoted anytime soon."

Bai Cang gasped as he looked at the offering requirements for the fourth ordination ceremony.

As expected, no cheat code can be obtained easily.

Of these demands, the ten thousand taels of gold was relatively easy to obtain, as Bai Cang had already prepared it in advance.

With a thousand spirit pearls and a hundred spirit jade pieces, Bai Cang could gather them all if he worked hard.

However, the ten strands of malevolent energy and the single strand of protective energy clearly indicated that Fatty Tiger was being deliberately made things difficult for him.

What is the Qi of Gang Sha? Dao Ji Zhenren (a Daoist master) who wants to achieve the Golden Elixir must condense Sha and refine Gang, and then the Gang and Sha must be united before he is qualified to advance.

Condensing evil, refining qi, and qi-based evil—these are the three realms of the foundation of the Dao.

Even many Dao Foundation Realm cultivators are busy searching for suitable evil energy, and refining Qi requires ascending to the Nine Heavens Qi Layer.

Even a Dao Foundation True Person, without the protection of the corresponding magical artifact, would find it difficult to ascend to the Nine Heavens like an ordinary person.

For Bai Cang, this was something he never dared to even think about at the moment.

However, he wasn't in a hurry!

"The transformation has only just begun!"

Bai Cang thought to himself, "Just digesting the gains from this advancement will keep me busy in the Qi Refining realm."

"And based on the experience from last time, the Five Ghosts Secret Records should be upgraded as well, right?"

Sure enough, as soon as he turned his gaze, he saw a new entry appear.
