Sheji, stars, yin and yang, five elements, illusion and reality, heaven and earth.
Each true intent is profound and harmonious.
Zhang Jian decided not to delve deeper into understanding other true intents of the Great Dao for now.
Instead, he planned to first break through the Fourth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit and attain the true intent, truly merging the Yang Spirit imprint he condensed with the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Using the true intent of the Six Paths to merge into the Map of Mountains and Rivers would be enough to thoroughly stabilize the foundation of the Map of Mountains and Rivers!
This step is to completely determine the Fundamental Technique.
...
Inside Dong Shen Temple.
The State Preceptor, Jingming Daoist, was busy throughout the Dharma Transmission Tower, constantly seeking ways to suppress the backlash of destiny.
But after searching through the entire Dharma Transmission Tower and examining the numerous classics stored within Dong Shen Temple, he could not find any concrete precedents.
There are many methods to eliminate simple destiny backlash, but to eliminate the backlash of the dragon vein, no precedent could be found.
However, after Jingming Daoist’s research and discussion with a few knowledgeable elders, they came up with some special approaches, which he planned to verify with the Dong Shen Ancestor.
He stepped into the forbidden area of Dong Shen Temple, using the Dong Shen Divine Technique to send a magical power into the Cave God Seal he wore.
Upon this, the Cave God Seal around him instantly flew up, and moments later, it seemed to communicate with a majestic primordial spirit divine sense from the void, and an ethereal shadow of an old Daoist wearing a purple robe, with a ruddy complexion and a purple crown, appeared in mid-air, smiling gently.
"My dear disciple, what is it that you are contacting your master about?"
Upon seeing this figure, Jingming Daoist straightened his expression, then spoke.
"Master, His Majesty is in trouble..."
Jingming Daoist, with a solemn face, recounted the calamities that had befallen Emperor Jingwu.
Hearing this, the Dong Shen Ancestor’s expression remained unchanged, with the same smile, only saying.
"Disciple, what are your thoughts?"
Jingming Daoist thought for a bit, then said: "Disciple recalls that Master mentioned that ancient Saint Kings all attained great success on the path of destiny, and during their time, they were not only supreme but also the most powerful cultivators in the world. The magical treasures they left behind usually have the effect of enhancing the dragon vein or suppressing destiny. Disciple thinks that if we can find the relics of the Saint Kings, it might help His Majesty avert this disaster!"
Upon hearing this, the Dong Shen Ancestor in the void nodded approvingly: "My good disciple, your direction is correct. If you can seek the relics left by the ancient Saint Kings, it indeed can suppress the backlash from the dragon qi of the previous dynasty within the dragon vein, shielding His Majesty from this calamity!"
Jingming Daoist gave a slight wry smile: "But the relics left by the Saint Kings are rare, I’m afraid they are very hard to find!"
In fact, it’s not just very hard to find; these treasures are almost only in legends.
Even if they exist, they are held by various Immortal Dao Lineages, or in the hands of Demonic Sects, or the Noble Families of the Saint Kings, as their supreme treasures, which are virtually impossible to borrow.
The Dong Shen Ancestor shook his head at this time, saying.
"My dear disciple, are you suggesting that your master should go and snatch treasures from those Noble Families of the Saint Kings? Your master does not have such capability!"
Upon hearing this, Jingming Daoist couldn’t help but say: "Master, can’t we borrow the treasures?"
The Dong Shen Ancestor snorted lightly: "Of course it’s possible to borrow treasures, but do you have the face for it? Or rather, do you have the strength for it?"
Jingming Daoist lowered his head, muttering: "Doesn’t Master have it?"
The Dong Shen Ancestor looked at Jingming Daoist with a sardonic smile, shaking his head: "My good disciple, you’re mistaken, your master doesn’t have such great face!
Even if I did, I’m currently unable to break free; distant water can’t quench nearby thirst!"
The Dong Shen Ancestor was very aware of the power of such ancient sects.
At this point, seeing Jingming Daoist frown, he shook his head repeatedly.
"Good disciple, let me give you a clear path!"
"The Saint King’s Secret Treasures are one way, but the secret techniques of the Saint King Dao Lineage can actually work too. Among the Daoist sects left behind by the Saint King Dao Lineage, they are particularly proficient in Qi Fortune Technique, especially in countering the backlash of the dragon vein or subduing the dragon vein!"
"You only need to find a way to invite a cultivator from the Saint King Dao Lineage, which might solve this matter as well. If not, just offer them some benefits, as those experts are also willing to lend a hand if the price is right..."
"The Saint King Secret Technique?"
Jingming Daoist’s mind turned, his eyes brightening.
Though Saint King Dao Lineage is rare, he happens to know a legitimate descendant of it.
He once heard Zhang Jian mention that the other party is a direct descendant of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
The Tongshan Dao Lineage happens to be an Ancient Saint King Dao Lineage.
The founder of the sect was an Ancient Saint King enlightened through the control of water.
If he can get the other’s help, he might be able to resolve Emperor Jingwu’s predicament!
