Starting Cultivation During a Trip
Chapter 469 - 236: Zhang Fan’s Warning! The Terror of Three Corpses Illuminating Fate (Part 2)
"Hmph, do you think I’m a novice?!"
Zhang Fan snorted coldly in his heart, an unknown anger rising, as his Primordial Spirit activated.
Rumble...
Instantly, Song Yunqi’s Primordial Divine Light encountered resistance, forcing it back three points.
"Hmm!?"
Song Yunqi raised his eyebrows, feeling quite surprised. But he didn’t think much, and his Primordial Divine Light suddenly condensed, resembling a white sword light, swift and agile, striking directly at the Celestial Sect.
"Seeking death!"
Zhang Fan’s heart roared violently. His Primordial Spirit seemed to soar suddenly from the dark night, like a great sun’s divine light, immeasurable and terrifying, explosively erupting within the office.
"Zhang Fan, you..."
Sui Chunsheng’s face changed dramatically, feeling a deep sense of oppression. His Primordial Spirit trembled instinctively, almost falling into the Great Night.
"Good fellow."
At this moment, even Fang Changle’s eyes lit up, involuntarily exclaiming.
Rumble...
A fierce wave explosively spread, Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit like a giant from the dark abyss, directly shattered that white light, a dominating aura surged like a tide, pressing towards Song Yunqi’s Primordial Spirit.
Spurt...
At this moment, Song Yunqi’s face changed dramatically, turning pale. His Primordial Spirit returned to the Spirit Platform, spewing a mouthful of blood, retreating involuntarily until hitting the wall, finally stopping.
"How dare you make a move?" Ji Haisan shouted violently, blocking Song Yunqi, his eyes showing astonishment, locking firmly onto Zhang Fan.
"Oh? What do you mean, Taoist Brother?" Zhang Fan looked innocent, glancing at Song Yunqi with apparent concern.
"Did Taoist Friend Song not sleep well last night? Staying up late and spitting blood."
"You..."
Ji Haisan’s words hadn’t yet fully escaped when Song Yunqi stopped him. Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, Song Yunqi gave Zhang Fan a deep look.
"Forgive me, Taoist Brother, it was my carelessness."
"It’s nothing serious, I’ll send Taoist Friend two pounds of wolfberries to replenish blood." Zhang Fan’s smile carried chilliness in his eyes.
"Taoist Brother is too kind." Song Yunqi muttered through clenched teeth.
At this moment, Fang Changle and Sui Chunsheng exchanged glances, knowing precisely what had just happened.
No one had expected Song Yunqi to suddenly challenge Zhang Fan just before leaving.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan’s cultivation had matured, not falling for the other’s scheme.
However, at this moment, Sui Chunsheng was already drenched in a cold sweat, knowing that anything from Zhang Fan could turn small issues into big conflicts.
"That Song Yunqi is truly arrogant, making such a move before leaving." Sui Chunsheng cursed inwardly.
But he also knew those from above naturally held superior airs, free to kill or grant life without restrictions.
Yet, he provoked Zhang Fan.
Luckily, here is Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, under broad daylight, it’s just a simple probe, far from escalating into violence. Moreover, it seems neither wants to break appearances, aiming to save face.
"Let’s go."
Song Yunqi’s voice was heavy, clearly losing interest in questioning case details.
He led Ji Haisan towards the door, then halted suddenly.
"The mountains and rivers will meet again, if Taoist Brother comes to Shangjing, I will surely show hospitality." Song Yunqi spoke politely, yet his tone was cold, each word like clashing swords.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan smiled slightly but responded, "If there’s a next time, I’ll slaughter you."
Once these words were spoken, everyone’s expression changed.
Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan, momentarily stunned.
Fang Changle almost laughed aloud.
No one anticipated that Zhang Fan would be so bluntly candid before leaving.
"Excellent! Jiangnan truly harbors talents."
Song Yunqi bit his teeth, looked back deeply at Zhang Fan as if to etch him in memory, then directly pushed open the door and strode out.
"This grudge has deepened." Sui Chunsheng sighed, watching the swaying door.
"It was long established," Zhang Fan thought to himself.
Strictly speaking, the deaths of Meng Qinghuan and Hua Yanqiu are related to him. If this were Shangjing City, their probe would definitely be more than just simple.
"Hmph, wanting to flex without recognizing the place." Fang Changle sneered, "Only now, if it were ten years ago..."
"What about ten years ago?" Zhang Fan interjected, asking curiously.
"Ten years ago, making someone disappear quietly was quite simple," Fang Changle sneered.
"But they are from Daoist Alliance Headquarters." Zhang Fan remarked in surprise, realizing Fang Changle was even more reckless than him.
"What about Daoist Alliance Headquarters? I heard from my senior..." Fang Changle said proudly.
"Cough, cough..."
Just then, a severe coughing sound echoed from outside.
"Junior Brother, can you not spout nonsense outside..."
"Ruining my Maoshan’s good name!"
As the voice fell, a plump Taoist priest walked in, round-faced, close-cropped hair, fair skin — almost radiant. Zhang Fan blinked, rarely seeing such a glowing complexion on a man.
The key point was that as this person walked in, Zhang Fan’s mind relaxed a bit, feeling an inexplicable pressure.
"A master!" Zhang Fan grew wary.
He himself had reached the Mahasattva Realm, yet this pressure indicated the person was likely at the Sect Leader Realm.
Above Mahasattva is the Sect Leader Realm.
With such cultivation, True Yang is condensed into a core, manifested in the Profound Palace, an omen of Great Success in Destiny, able to preside over the Fasting and Sacrificial Altar Method and communicate with ghost gods in ancient times.
"Maoshan indeed harbors masters," Zhang Fan thought appreciatively.
True merit remains unnamed, truly virtuous individuals rarely flaunt their divine techniques.
During his time in Yujing City, Zhang Fan had finally encountered a real Maoshan master.
At the Sect Leader Realm, with Great Success in Destiny and an inner core formed, worldly ailments and tribulations hardly affect them.
"Let me introduce, this is my senior, Yu Hua." Fang Changle introduced.
"Yu Hua... Senior Brother!?" Zhang Fan was momentarily taken aback.
"No need to be overly formal." Yu Hua gestured casually, "You must be Zhang Fan? I’ve heard Fang mention you..."
Saying this, Yu Hua glared fiercely at Fang Changle, "Junior Brother, watch your mouth, say what should be said, and don’t blurt out what shouldn’t..."
"Senior Brother, why did you return from Chuanshu?" Fang Changle asked with an embarrassed smile.
"With Yujing City being so lively lately, of course, I’ve come back to take a look," Yu Hua replied calmly.
"Senior Brother, you saw it too, how those two arrogant brats from the Divine Power Association were." Fang Changle spat.
"Junior Brother, let me tell you, you’re no different from those two brats..."
"Cultivation is about cultivating the heart; an agitated mind will bring bigger tribulations no matter how gifted or divine your ability, the greater the achievement, the greater the tribulation, when Three Corpses manifest, there’s no chance for the Great Dao." Yu Hua soberly advised.
"Three Corpses manifest..." Zhang Fan’s eyebrows twitched, feeling a natural sensitivity to these words.
"I see those brats from the Divine Power Association, Three Corpses are already manifest, a sign of impending tribulation." Yu Hua coldly mocked.
"Yu Hua Senior Brother, can Three Corpses be seen?" Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.
In Daoist Sect, there’s a mention of Three Corpses, residing within the body as Divine, invisible and intangible.
Allegedly, Three Corpses are a cultivator’s tribulation, obstructing all progress towards immortality.
"Of course, you can’t see them; the curse of Three Corpses is the greatest tribulation for cultivators, only when the opportunity for immortality appears will they manifest..."
"Under heaven, throughout ancient and modern times, there’s only one method to see Three Corpses and illuminate life." Yu Hua said solemnly.
"Three Corpses Illuminating Fate!?" Zhang Fan blurted unconsciously.
"Precisely, within the Nine Great Inner Elixir Methods is the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate..." Yu Hua nodded deeply.
"I’ve heard gate elders mention that mastering Three Corpses Illuminating Fate is extraordinary, once accomplished, not only can one perceive their own Three Corpses, but also those in others, triggering calamities, severing opportunities for immortality..."
As Yu Hua spoke, his eyes revealed a solemn expression.
"Once mastered, this technique is truly invincible..."
"Invincible under heaven!!!"
