Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Ma Buting’s Dao Heart is as firm as a rock. Practicing this skill with his body, he is destined to leave no offspring. His heart towards Dao lies only in this life.

”He’s really ruthless, actually mastering such a technique.”

Zhan Xinyue bit her silver teeth tightly, looking at Sui Chunsheng with lingering fear.

At this moment, she finally understood that during their last magical combat, the opponent had indeed held back; otherwise, Sui Chunsheng’s entire cultivation might have been wasted.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Fan’s current perilous situation can be imagined.

”The Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade is too overbearing, with its sword qi entering the body, extinguishing True Yang. Out of ten parts of cultivation, less than three remain...” Sui Chunsheng’s expression became extremely grim.

If the battle continues, all his Dao practice would be in vain.

”Such a domineering technique, even the cultivator might not be able to endure it for long.” Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows, speaking in a low, tense voice.

”Indeed, this is the greatest flaw of the Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade. Its blade is sharp, harming others and oneself, naturally making it unsustainable.”

Sui Chunsheng looked worriedly at Zhang Fan; perhaps this was his only chance.

Rumble...

Suddenly, Ma Buting moved again. His figure leaped, seemingly merging into the fierce cold wind.

In a trance, everyone heard the clash of weapons. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Ma Buting’s palm seemed to turn into a blade, cold as hell, terrifying, slicing towards Zhang Fan’s head.

”Innate Dao Mother, Emperor Zhou Tianchen.”

”Lord of the Stars, Dou Mansion Venerable King.”

”Middle Celestial Brahma Qi, Nine Emperors Supreme Emperor.”

At this moment, Zhang Fan formed the Finger Fighting Seal with both hands, muttering incantations. In a trance, the vast clouds trembled, as if starlight descended, illuminating his body, causing the True Yang flowing beneath his skin to emit motley radiance, like twinkling stars, incessantly appearing and disappearing.

”Celestial Mother Heart Curse!?”

Xu Zhixia’s facial muscles twitched slightly, looking at Zhang Fan with more astonishment.

She hadn’t expected that Zhang Fan was not only a Daoist Sect member but also practiced extraordinary arcane techniques. Besides the Northern Emperor Technique, he had also mastered such a rare secret technique as the Celestial Mother Heart Curse!?

It must be noted that the Celestial Mother Heart Curse belongs to the Doumu Technique, the head of the Beidou stars, the king of celestial phenomena.

Once such techniques are mastered, they specifically counter Star Fighting Skills, historically kept secret within certain Daoist Sects.

”Where on earth did he learn these techniques!?”

Xu Zhixia’s heart was tumultuous; at this moment, Zhang Fan became unbelievably mysterious in her eyes.

Rumble...

Sounds of Sanskrit chanting emerged, echoing like thunder, with brilliant starlight surging three feet above Zhang Fan’s head.

”Celestial Mother Heart Curse...”

At this moment, Ma Buting’s palm fell, the Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade’s fierce power surged, a sliver of cold light setting as if breaking through a hundred-mile frozen river.

”Pity you haven’t mastered it yet.”

With a ”crack” sound, the protective star gang three feet above Zhang Fan’s head suddenly shattered.

Whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fan tapped his feet, seemingly merging into the fierce cold wind, swiftly retreating to distance himself from Ma Buting.

The Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade was indeed domineering and terrifying; touching even a trace would ruin cultivation.

At this moment, most of Zhang Fan’s True Yang had frozen, and his body was no longer as agile, with many meridians and muscles becoming extremely rigid.

”Dao brother, where has your recent prowess gone?”

Ma Buting’s voice lingered in the ears, clinging like a maggot to the bone, not giving Zhang Fan any chance to breathe.

”Something’s off... really off... why does he remain undiminished in such prolonged battle, seemingly unaffected by the Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade!?”

At this moment, Zhan Xinyue noticed the problem.

Sui Chunsheng’s face was heavy, also showing a look of doubt.

”Because he is a descendant of the Three Emperors Sect.”

Suddenly, Xu Zhixia spoke, with a pale face showing intense worry.

”The Three Emperors Sect... could it be...” Sui Chunsheng raised his eyebrows, as if thinking of something.

The Three Emperors Sect is an ancient sect within the Daoist Sect, flourishing during the Tang Dynasty. Due to its Scripture of the Three Emperors, claimed to have the power of ’Summoning and Condemning All Gods,’ it was feared by the Imperial Court, and was once banned but still spread. It faced further bans during the Yuan Dynasty with the calamity of book burning, leading the Scripture of the Three Emperors to be burned, and the Three Emperors Sect gradually vanished.

”Summoning and Condemning Ghosts and Gods, Spirit Void Body Refining!”

Sui Chunsheng’s face was grim, his heart sinking to rock bottom.

Rumble...

At this time, Ma Buting was fighting with increasing ferocity, with spiritual light flashing within his mouth, eyes, nose, ears... his seven apertures, constantly appearing and disappearing. His powerful physical functions were reviving at this moment, rendering the blade light of Three Yin Qi Refining and Transformation unable to cause any harm.

”His physical body...” Zhan Xinyue’s face changed drastically, noticing something strange.

”It’s said that the techniques of the Three Emperors Sect can harness the power of Ghost Gods to strengthen the body, similar to a spiritual body, surpassing the limits of flesh and blood.” Xu Zhixia said in a tense voice.

Now, Ma Buting had already recovered from the injuries he recently sustained, his aura growing stronger, as if every moment of the battle was energizing him.

Strands of spiritual light surged and flickered within his seven apertures.

At this moment, Ma Buting seemed as if possessed by Ghost Gods, spiritually invincible.

”Spirit Void Body Refining combined with the Three Yin Demon Slaying Blade...”

”Is he invincible!?”

”Does the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance actually have such a master?”

At this point, everyone was shocked speechless by Ma Buting’s power, even Li Gaoyang found it incredible, as such masters usually remained secluded in famous mountain Daoist temples, yet were recruited by the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance.

”Being able to make Senior Brother so serious, this Zhang Fan is quite something.”

Zhou Miaochan’s beautiful eyes twitched slightly, revealing a hint of reverence. She looked at Zhang Fan and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for him.

As a cultivator, encountering such a monstrous peer like Ma Buting is indeed unfortunate.
