Chapter 305 - 151: Xiao Mingli in Her Prime, the Spear Intent of the Martial Saint’s Ultimate Skill

[Tutor has successfully advanced the Daoist Level 'Divine Talisman Fire' to initiation!]

BOOM!

Like a powder keg instantly detonating within him, a violent, deafening crackling erupted from Ji Xiu's muscles and bones!

With a sudden surge of his Qi and Blood, wisps of True Flame were born, rooted in his Blood Marrow and originating from his very heart, lungs, and organs...

They seemed to burst forth from Ji Xiu's eyes, causing the Golden Pupils he'd gained after forging the Dragon Descendant Treasure Bone to flash with crimson fire.

Now that he had achieved Divine Thought, Ji Xiu had only to will it. Gazing at the sandalwood shelves laden with Scriptures, an impulse stirred deep within his soul...

It felt as though, with his initiation into the Divine Talisman Fire...

With a single glance, a single thought!

He could make anything he looked at spontaneously combust, turning it to ash!

[Daoist Technique: Divine Talisman Fire]

[A Daoist Technique developed by a True Master of the Immortal Technique lineage. By observing the Nanming Li Fire, they plucked this creation from the True Nature of their Golden Core.]

[Only the most exceptional practitioners, whose physical bodies and minds advance in tandem, can bear this technique. Upon mastery, the body becomes a Furnace, taking the Fire Seed into the Sea of Consciousness to be constantly Quenched by one's thoughts.]

[When the Visualization of one's thoughts can project an image ninety-nine feet tall, like a tree scraping the sky, the technique is considered to have reached Perfection. This condenses the Truth within the technique—the 'Daoist Seed'!]

[After planting the Divine Talisman Fire in the Sea of Consciousness, one can activate it with a single thought through the Divine Soul, thereafter gaining the ability of 'Fire Manipulation'.]

CRACKLE!

Ji Xiu extended a finger.

Following his gaze, a flicker of Red Gold flame suddenly leaped from his fingertip, dancing ceaselessly.

After silently estimating its power with his Divine Soul for a moment, Ji Xiu came to a conclusion.

'With just this tiny wisp of flame...'

'If a Martial Artist wearing an Immortal Robe stood before me...'

'Their so-called 'Water and Fire Immune' Immortal Robe Skin... would be instantly pierced by this Divine Talisman Fire Daoist Skill!'

'So this is a Great Attack Skill...'

A divine light gleamed in Ji Xiu's eyes. He clenched his fist, extinguishing the Golden Core True Flame, and couldn't help but murmur.

"Another ace up my sleeve!"

'The First Decline of the Great Five Decline Celestial Saber, 'Tribulation Fire Burning Robe,' can destroy an opponent's Martial Dao foundation, making it nearly as powerful as the Divine Talisman Fire. But it is, after all, incomplete.'

'Moreover, that saber art is incomparably fierce and its momentum is overwhelming. The moment anyone sees it, their heart clenches in alarm. Unless they're a fool, they'll immediately put up their guard and use their strongest possible defense.'

'For instance, Du Yan, the direct successor of the Water and Fire Daoist School on Daoist School Street, didn't have his foundation destroyed. He was merely exhausted of his strength for a time.'

'He was just the prodigy of a single Daoist School, not some expert who had cultivated a 'Gods and Ghosts Avoidance' Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, much less a character who had broken the Three Limits and formed a Treasure Body.'

'If I were to face such an opponent, I couldn't guarantee they wouldn't have a follow-up technique, and I might just be defeated then and there.'

'But things are different now. Even if my saber fails to connect and my True Gang is exhausted, I still have my Divine Thought as a trump card for a last-ditch counterattack!'

The Primordial Daoist Talisman flickered faintly in his mind, seemingly absorbing the residual traces left behind by the Scripture that recorded this technique.

Soon.

An image formed in his mind's Visualization: a towering being with a scorching gaze and eyebrows like the crimson sun, clad in a fiery red Daoist Robe, looking as if it had walked straight out of a furnace!

The being's skin glowed with a reddish fluorescence. Around its Daoist Robe, streams of True Flame coalesced into circling Divine Talismans as it stood in the sky above a great city protected by a Daoist Lineage.

In the territory where this Daoist Lineage was established, there was a 'Realm Gate,' looking as real as it was illusory, like a mirage. It seemed as if it could dissipate at any moment, yet it also felt as if it had been standing there for a very long time. A great crack was open wide within it.

Within the Realm Gate.

Demon Kings emerged from roiling black clouds, leading ten thousand of their kind into this territory. They blew their desolate horns, preparing to contend for dominance.

But the moment they came into contact with the 'Divine Talisman Fire', which had been cultivated to its absolute peak, they were incinerated into wisps of black smoke that retreated back into the Realm Gate...

When the Daoist figure manifested the divine might of 'Divine Talisman Burns Ten Thousand Demons,' its aura surged forth, seeming to cross from illusion into reality!

As Ji Xiu focused his entire being, immersed in the atmosphere created by the Primordial Daoist Talisman, his eyes began to burn and sting unbearably!

In that instant, Ji Xiu saw the true foundation of this Daoist Technique!

[Tutor visualized 'Divine Fire Burns Ten Thousand Demons' and comprehended the imprint of its Law Creator, the 'Divine Fire Daoist.' Advancement progress for Divine Talisman Fire has increased!]

[Divine Talisman Fire: (133/800)]

[With the body as a seed, offered up as kindling, one can transform it into a Divine Talisman and condense a Dao Seed.]

[Daily Visualization of the Divine Talisman, comprehension of its essence, and use of Divine Talisman Fire will increase advancement progress.]

[Upon reaching Perfection, you can condense the 'Daoist Seed' within, adding it to your foundation!]

Daoist Seed.

Silently repeating the name, Ji Xiu committed it to memory.

'More than half a year ago, when I advanced the Innate Talent 'Profound Blood Flood Dragon Tendons' from the Turtle and Snake Grand Foundation Stake, I didn't know what it was for.'

'In truth, however, it was the key to breaking one of the limits and cultivating 'Golden Tendons and Jade Veins.' It was also the core secret that made the Turtle and Snake Grand Foundation Stake a Secret Inheritance of the main sect.'

'This moment was just like that one back then.'

'Although I don't know what a 'Daoist Seed' is, as an 'achievement' born from cultivating a Daoist Level Immortal Skill to Perfection, it must be something extraordinary!'

Ji Xiu silently made a mental note.

He then walked up the rotating, tarnished-silver staircase to the third floor: the Divine Soul Martial Domain.

The moment he stepped inside!

Ji Xiu felt his Divine Soul, which had been so relaxed and free a moment ago, suddenly grow heavy!

Then, holding a candle to illuminate the inner chamber, he abruptly raised his head. Before him, displayed neatly on tables to either side, were rows upon rows of painted scrolls...

As he stepped inside, they suddenly began to tremble violently, rustling without stop!
