Chapter 745 You really are cut out for the good!
What is the Divine Transfiguration Relic?
This is because the gods used their own power and supernatural powers to cause things to change in nature, becoming completely different from their original nature and full of divinity.
God is divine and clear.
Gods are beings who understand the principles of heaven and earth and enforce the laws.
Gods often possess supernatural powers and can also set up temples.
The rich principles within a dojo can transform an area and create a unique environment. The gods within their own dojo can unleash their greatest power.
But at the same time, because the dojo constantly expounds on the truth, the foundation of the god's existence is also displayed to the outside world. If they encounter an enemy with extraordinary understanding, if they stay in their own dojo for too long, they may help the enemy and let them discover the god's flaws.
The situation is similar with the divine relics.
Like the half mirror left by the judge of the underworld, it was because he used some kind of magical power, and the truths filled in it did not dissipate for a while, but temporarily condensed and formed a solid entity.
To put it in a metaphor, it's like a secret manual with a time limit. As time passes, the truth will gradually fade away, and the divine relics will gradually disappear.
But before that, the Divine Transmutation Relic could allow almost all cultivators to gain some understanding. Of course, the higher the cultivator's understanding, the greater the gains would be.
Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo were no strangers to the divine relics.
Because in the underworld, where they collected the bodies of the old man with gray bones, they obtained a large number of divine relics, which were the bodies of ghosts and gods who died in battle.
But these are both similar to and different from what the judge of the underworld left behind.
The same thing is that they are all gods who were summoned, infused with divine power, and used their magical powers, and they are left behind after being defeated.
The difference is that the former is a paper figure, while the latter is a wooden statue as the base.
These paper figures originated from the White Paper Fairy City. Tracing back to their origin, they were the work of Xuansu Shusheng, a great cultivator at the Void Refinement Level. They are very high-end and have shown no signs of disappearing so far.
But at the same time, it is also difficult for people to understand.
The remaining half of the mirror from the wooden statue has begun to show signs of dissipating, but in turn, its secrets are open to the outside world, allowing others to comprehend them.
Ning Zhuo thought about it and decided: "Boss, your comprehension is better than mine, you should comprehend this divine relic first."
Given their close relationship, Sun Lingtong naturally wouldn't be polite with Ning Zhuo and simply nodded, "Time is limited, so it's best for me to go first."
"However, to ensure more success, you should first teach me how to hang your head on the beam and prick your thigh with a needle, and also lend me your calligraphy brush."
Ning Zhuo nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
The friendship between the two is more than just risking their lives. Ning Zhuo even shared the Cremation Prajna Sutra with Sun Lingtong.
Ning Zhuo taught carefully and Sun Lingtong learned quickly.
During the continuous practice, Ning Zhuo was always correcting him. By the third time, Sun Lingtong had mastered the technique himself without making any mistakes.
"I'll practice a few more times and then discuss it with you." Sun Lingtong sent Ning Zhuo away and decided to figure it out on his own.
Ning Zhuo went to the other side of the space inside the formation and began to tinker with the musical instrument.
Many of these demonic cultivators possess musical skills, and many of their techniques are activated through sound. In fact, Buddhism has the Lion's Roar, the Celestial Dragon Chant, and the Great and Small Thunder Sounds; Taoism has the Cloud Book of Heavenly Sounds, the Mysterious Capital Shocking Divine Rhythm, and the Rising Blue Sea Tide Tune; Confucianism has the Long Song of Righteousness and the Echoes of Spring and Autumn; and military strategists have the Enemy-Inducing War Drums, the Formation-Breaking Song, and the Ten-Sided Ambush Sound.
Buddhism focuses on using force to destroy evil and compassion to purify, Taoism focuses on mobilizing the power of nature, Confucianism emphasizes order and humanity, and military science focuses on actual combat and boosting morale.
Compared with them, the magic music skills appear strange and changeable, confusing people's minds, and can often trigger negative emotions and desires.
Next, Ning Zhuo used the Soul-Burning Boat Technique to impose just punishment on all the souls bought by Sun Lingtong.
He acquired many magical music skills.
For example, the Jiuyou Xun, when played, requires the infusion of one's own essence, blood, and soul, resulting in a mournful, mournful sound, reminiscent of the shared sorrow of countless souls. Those struck by the spell are overwhelmed by negative emotions, their fighting spirit crumbles, and tears and blood flow endlessly.
Another example is the wonderful music of the pipa. Plucking the strings produces a soul-stirring hum. The music sounds gorgeous and beautiful, extremely seductive, and can make people relax their guard, indulge in illusory pleasure, and then die in the ultimate happiness.
Then there's the Nightmare Bone Flute. This requires a specific bone flute instrument to play. The sound is shrill, distorted, and unpredictable. It's like a chaotic cascade of mutterings, screams, laughter, and sobs, impacting the listener's consciousness and implanting a chaotic and convincing illusion of terror.
…
Ning Zhue felt as if these experiences were his own; they were very vivid and impressive.
"It seems like there are many choices, but in fact not many of them can be used." Ning Zhuo smiled distressedly.
These methods are too demonic in style and do not suit Ning Zhuo very well.
In the end, Ning Zhuo chose the zheng.
Tearing silk and slowing the zither!
This musical technique uses a lot of sweeping, and the sound of the zither that bursts out is extremely sharp, like a red-hot black iron cone, drilling into the cochlea and penetrating the cranial cavity!
The sound waves that burst out transformed into invisible blades, powerful enough to shatter armor. Each sound wave struck the enemy, capable of slicing them to death, a cruel act imbued with the brutality of a demonic cultivator.
Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a cushion, closed his eyes, and imagined himself holding a guzheng. His hands were suspended in the air, his fingers flying, plucking and sweeping the imaginary strings.
At the same time, he secretly activated the musical skill of the Silk Ripping and Slicing Zheng.
This wasn't some kind of martial art, but rather something akin to a spell. However, Ning Zhuo lacked a physical instrument or a suitable martial art, so he could only temporarily use the Five Elements' magical power to create a series of sonic blades in the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
For a moment, the five-colored sonic blades danced alternately and flashed, creating a lively and beautiful scene. However, it was the actual power that made Ning Zhuo secretly shake his head.
Not long after, someone outside the formation called out, "Mr. Ning Zhuo, I've bought you the guzheng."
It’s the chef.
After Ning Zhuo selected the music skills, he immediately sent a message to contact the outside world and arranged for the chef to go out and purchase the goods immediately.
The big-headed boy was still sitting cross-legged on the cushion, his eyes slightly open, his mind radiating, mobilizing the jade token of the cave, controlling the martial arts formation, and opening a gap.
The old chef was somewhat puzzled. He stood outside the formation, watching the changes. With his experience, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the martial arts formation, and the gaps in the space that had opened up were also unsettling.
Although it was just a quick glimpse, he could see that the space inside the formation was a bit messy, as if it had been through a fierce battle.
Although the old chef was also guided by the Lord of White Paper City to follow Ning Zhuo, he was also sincere in thinking of Ning Zhuo's kindness and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"
Ning Zhuo smiled lightly: "It's okay. I practiced with my servant for a while, but it wasn't very exciting. I'm not very familiar with this martial arts formation."
The old cook said hurriedly, "That's good, that's good."
But secretly, he was a little shocked: "Young Master and his servant are both only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I also understand this formation. According to common sense, it is very safe to support the battle of two Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"Unless one reaches the Golden Core level of combat power."
"I'm not surprised that Young Master can unleash the power of a Golden Core. He has already obtained the Stone Tablet, and he's one of the most outstanding newcomers in the entire Wanxiang Sect."
"I just didn't expect that his little servant boy also has some skills."
In the old chef's cognition, Sun Lingtong has always been Ning Zhuo's servant, so naturally he looked down on the latter.
At the same time, after Ning Zhuo came back, he told the chef, Qing Chi and Gongsun Yan about the stone tablet. The three of them were sincerely happy and felt that following Ning Zhuo was a thing with a bright future.
Ning Zhuo got the guzheng and found out it was a magical instrument.
The old lady in the kitchen thoughtfully posted a letter on the guzheng, in which she told Ning Zhuo the purchasing channel and price.
It turned out that after receiving the order, the chef immediately set off and went to the nearest trading hall to buy a guzheng directly.
Tongshang Hall was worthy of being one of the sixteen halls of the Wanxiang Sect. The variety of goods sold there was as numerous as the stars in the sky. The guzheng, a musical instrument, was not a niche item, so it was not difficult to find one.
Ning Zhuo had a real guzheng this time and started practicing immediately.
He practiced once, and by the last part, he was playing quite smoothly. Even Sun Lingtong on the other side was attracted by Ning Zhuo's movements and cast a glance over.
After waiting for the second practice, Ning Zhuo had already played very skillfully and calmly, as if he was an old musician with decades of experience in playing the guzheng.
But he is only seventeen years old this year.
Seeing this, Sun Lingtong shook his head repeatedly and sighed sincerely: "Xiaozhuo, you are really about to take off! The extent of this progress is simply unbelievable."
Ning Zhuo lightly pressed the guzheng with both hands to eliminate all the sounds.
He looked at Sun Lingtong, excited, and frankly shared his thoughts: "I don't feel like I'm experiencing something new. Rather, it's like being reunited with an old man who hasn't played the guitar in a long time. When my ten fingers first touched the strings, I felt a wave of familiarity. And after that, this feeling continued."
"My heart is already extremely familiar with the guzheng. It's just a matter of familiarizing my body with every movement deep in my memory and how to use it."
This level of progress is really terrifying.
The big-headed boy couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Sun Lingtong's eyes flashed with brilliance: "So, Baizhi Xiancheng is very important to you, Xiaozhuo!"
Ning Zhuo also nodded, his face solemn. "Yes! If we can control the White Paper Immortal City, not only can we steadily harvest a large number of souls from there at a lower cost, but after using the Soul Burning Boat Technique, it is also very likely to increase Yang Tian's merit!"
Lower price!
Stablize!
There are still a lot of them.
These words, taken together, directly elevated White Paper Immortal City to the highest level. This was of great significance to Ning Zhuo's cultivation.
Anything that harms Yin Tian is likely to gain Yang Tian's favor. This has been verified by facts when dealing with the Lord of Wangchuan.
Sun Lingtong frowned slightly, his eyes becoming sharp. "So, if the leaders of the Wanxiang Sect want to get involved in Baizhi Xiancheng, what should we do?"
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "This is our opportunity."
"First of all, the Wanxiang Sect is a super sect. We can't possibly deal with it."
"Secondly, contradictions and conflicts are inevitable. But as long as we join the Wanxiang Sect, we can transform such external contradictions into internal contradictions. We can completely use the strength of others to fight against their own strength. For example, the current Confucian cultivation group and the Zhuxie Hall are the best examples."
Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong and their gang alone, even with the Qingjiao Army, would definitely not be able to defeat the Wanxiang Sect.
If you can't beat them, join them!
Ning Zhuo is extremely pragmatic and flexible in his actions.
"Finally, Baizhi Xiancheng has a city lord. The Wanxiang Sect is a force of Feiyun Country, so they can't attack as they please. Our current position is very critical and we have an advantage. We can participate in this game, make friends with both sides, and use their strength to counterattack!"
Sun Lingtong clapped his hands in praise and laughed, "I understand, I understand. In the Wanxiang Sect, we used Baizhi Immortal City as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the higher-ups. And in Baizhi Immortal City, we can rely on the Wanxiang Sect to negotiate with the Baizhi City Lord."
"What a good trick! What a good trick!"
"Xiao Zhuo, you are truly born to be on the right path!"
Ning Zhuo laughed heartily: "I was born to be righteous, Boss."
After his smile faded a bit, Ning Zhuo said, "It's a pity, Boss, you don't have the natural talent that I do, otherwise you would have made such rapid progress."
Sun Lingtong shook his head: "I am only passionate about and interested in stealing. But the best thieves in the world almost all come from the Bukong Sect. How could I possibly attack my fellow disciples?"
"Xiaozhuo, if you study hard and make continuous progress, and integrate everything you learn and know, you will be able to accumulate the corresponding realm."
"Then I will learn from you, and you will teach me the true meaning and elevate my realm. This will be more direct."
Ning Zhuo nodded, this was indeed a solution.
Isn't this how he elevated his Five Elements realm?
Ning Zhuo pondered, "In this case, I will also ask Confucianists how they teach and how they instruct others. Confucianism excels in preaching, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts, in this respect, compared to other schools of thought."
"This Feiyun Conference is truly filled with countless opportunities, too numerous to count."
"Now is the best opportunity. Once I make some arrangements and take some deliberate actions, I can get those Confucian cultivators to help me design a corresponding Xingyun test."
This is the tacit understanding that Ning Zhuo and the Ruxiu Sect have already established.
Sun Lingtong was a little skeptical: "Xiaozhu, you have already changed the stone tablet. The Confucian cultivators will definitely know about it. I wonder if their attitude will change?"
Ning Zhuo smiled confidently: "Even if things change and they no longer want to support me, it doesn't matter. There are still many days to come, and we have friends like Wen Ruyu. It won't be difficult to learn some Confucian cultivation methods."
"Indeed." Sun Lingtong nodded and added, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. There is actually another way."
Ning Zhuo hummed, "Boss, are you talking about that demonic Confucian cultivator you mentioned before?"
"That's right." Sun Lingtong's eyes lit up when he said this. "The first time I heard about the 'Sage Thief Sutra', my heart was touched and I became very interested in this technique."
Ning Zhuo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took it seriously: "If that's the case, then no matter how much it costs, we will buy it with all our strength."
Back in Huoshi Immortal City, Ning Zhuo was willing to risk his life to rescue Sun Lingtong. This little bit of money was naturally out of the question.
Sun Lingtong waved his hand: "There's no need for this. We can gather some relevant information first and then make a decision. Although the spiritual inspiration of a cultivator can sometimes be effective, there are also many times when it's inaccurate."
Ning Zhuo slowly shook his head: "Boss, don't forget, it's only been a short time since we won the underworld. With the merits of Yangtian, our luck should be booming. In this case, our inspiration should be taken seriously."
Sun Lingtong: "That's true."
He chuckled and said, "That makes sense. I'm more interested in The Great Sage Thief's Scripture."
The two brothers had a good discussion and exchanged their thoughts on Confucianism before they parted quietly.
Sun Lingtong took the Divine Transformation Relics and secretly went to Shuyuzhai again, intending to use the pages of Luoshu to help himself comprehend the Divine Transformation Relics.
Ning Zhuo ordered Gongsun Yan to select the materials for the statue, intending to secretly make the statue himself and then invite the god to worship.
The previous statue had been destroyed, and he needed to rebuild it before the Gongye Pagoda could be used again.
