Chapter 120: Chapter 25: Grand Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition

In the Thirty-Six Western Continent Kingdoms, some great clans have lineages stretching back ten thousand years. Their foundations run deep, and some have even produced multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators. When their descendants join a Sect, it is easy for them to leverage their family’s influence to secure high-ranking positions.

Subtly, this even created the risk of a Divine Artifact changing hands.

Within the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, to prevent disciples from using their family’s power to build factions, they are not allowed to bring Guests or Attendants into the Sect. The Miscellaneous Task disciples within the Sect only take orders from the Household Affairs Hall. This is all to clip the wings of disciples from great clans and weaken their influence.

But when a rule has been enforced for over ten thousand years, people are bound to find loopholes.

Some disciples from these great clans form Spirit Contracts with multiple Demons, even helping them achieve Transformation. They use these Demons as their retainers to cultivate their Power and accumulate resources.

This practice even started a trend of raising Demons among the Six Great Sects.

These great clans had unconventional methods, and their traditions for raising Demons were not guarded as secretly as their core inheritances. Perhaps he could obtain a Cultivation Technique suitable for Yinjiao from them.

The moment Chi Yu came out of the Beast Taming Bag, she started frolicking about. It was the first time she had stayed in the bag for so long, and she was bursting with pent-up energy.

Iron Head and Yinjiao, meanwhile, curiously examined the furnishings inside the house.

Miscellaneous Task disciples from the Sect had already come by to move Zhang Peishan’s belongings to B Class and had replaced the bedding and Meditation Cushions with new ones.

“Master, the Spiritual Mechanism here is so dense!”

Iron Head’s eyes widened. He used his Bright Qi Talent to scan the surroundings, and only after confirming no one was watching did he speak in shock.

It was his first time on a Tier Three Spirit Vein.

Furthermore, because Purple Cover Mountain was covered in Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine—with some High Tier Medicinal Gardens even containing Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Medicines—the Celestial Yang Qi it produced was incredibly rich and thick. It was almost like a magnificent canopy covering the sky, though ordinary Cultivators were unable to sense it.

Yinjiao’s reaction was even more exaggerated. He felt that if he let go of his restraints, Water Element Spiritual Qi would pour into his body on its own. He could increase his Magical Power just by lying down and circulating the Jade Water Scripture.

“We are now inside the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. You all need to act a bit dim-witted so no one notices anything unusual. If someone is around, don’t speak, or you might give us away. I will figure out a way to let you all appear in human form as soon as possible. For now, you’ll just have to endure it.”

Yang Jing entered the Quiet Chamber alone.

He didn’t take out the Geng Metal Sword Mantra or the Ren Water Thunder Technique. Instead, he took out the Jade Scroll given to him by Li Weixin of the Reception Hall and began to carefully read the map of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect and its rules. When arriving in a new place, understanding the local regulations was paramount, especially for someone like him with no connections.

It took him more than three hours to read through it all.

As it turned out, one couldn’t just raise Demons as they pleased in the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. They had to be registered with the Household Affairs Hall, where a Beast Token would be issued. If a raised Demon injured someone, the owner not only had to compensate them with Spirit Stones but would also be held responsible.

After gaining a solid understanding of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect’s rules and regulations, the tension in Yang Jing’s heart finally eased. He put away the Jade Scroll and took out the Geng Metal Sword Mantra.

The Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra was not well-known due to the scarcity of Sword Cultivators in the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, but its potential was in no way inferior. If one could cultivate the Five Elements Thunder Technique, the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra, and the Sect’s Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture to a certain Realm, they would be able to comprehend the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition.

A Divine Prohibition was usually a secret art of the Major Sects, and only True Inheritance disciples were qualified to learn it. Typically, one had to cultivate various Magics and Sword Mantras to a certain Realm, then use their primary True Inheritance Skill as a foundation to unify them all before comprehension was possible.

A Divine Prohibition was synonymous with being a top-tier player. A top-tier player might not have mastered a Divine Prohibition, but any player who had was definitely a top-tier player.

In a generation spanning a hundred years, it wasn’t guaranteed that even a single genius capable of mastering a Divine Prohibition would appear in the entire Western Continent.

Mastering a Divine Prohibition required at least the Golden Core Realm, but that didn’t stop Yang Jing from learning the Five Elements Thunder Technique and Five Elements Swordsmanship first.

Although the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship shared the same origin, the differences were not small. The Positive and Negative Five Elements Swordsmanship focused on Magical Power and condensing Sword Gang. It emphasized that the deeper one’s Magical Power, the more ferocious the Sword Gang. The Sword Technique was simple and direct, prioritizing momentum over intent.

In contrast, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship incorporated many of Li Jixun’s insights on Martial Arts and had been further deduced by the System, making its content vastly different. It channeled the artistic conception of the changing weather of heaven and earth into the sword. Its techniques were complex, prioritizing intent over momentum. In terms of refinement, it far surpassed the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra.

However, since Yang Jing already had a profound understanding of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship, learning the Geng Metal Sword Mantra from such a position of advantage was not difficult.

Yang Jing sat cross-legged on the Meditation Cushion, laid the Demon-slaying Sword across his knees, and mentally recited the core principles of the Geng Metal Sword Mantra over and over.

The Sword Mantra was surprisingly simple. He could feel a mysterious connection form between the Demon-slaying Sword on his knees and the Five Elements Wheel in his Dantian.

The process was incredibly smooth. The next moment, all of his Five Elements Magical Power converted into Geng Metal and surged into the sword like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

The Demon-slaying Sword on his knees instantly lit up with a pure white Sword Gang. This Sword Gang was brilliant and dazzling, carrying with it a hint of unyielding hardness and immortal sharpness.

Compared to the Sword Gang produced by the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship, this Sword Gang was more condensed and sharper, but it lacked a degree of versatility.

It was a perfect example of how having the right foundation makes everything easier. Yang Jing hadn’t expected that his high Realm in the Five Talisman Scripture and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Swordsmanship would instantly elevate his mastery of the Geng Metal Sword Mantra as well.

If he had been practicing any other sword mantra, the Demon-slaying Sword would have likely shattered, unable to withstand such a tyrannical Sword Gang.

But this Geng Metal Sword Gang, on the contrary, had imperceptibly improved the quality of the Demon-slaying Sword.

Yang Jing retracted his Magical Power, returned the Demon-slaying Sword to his Storage Bag, and then took out the Ren Water Thunder Technique to comprehend it.

After sharing the Talents of Thunder and Lightning Control and Overturning Rivers and Seas, he could already instinctively control lightning and water. He was even capable of Vacuum Generating Electricity, creating arcs of lightning out of thin air.

This made comprehending the Ren Water Thunder Technique even easier than the Geng Metal Sword Mantra.

After reading through the Ren Water Thunder Technique just a few times, he closed his eyes.

In the next instant, strands of ink-black lightning surged from Yang Jing’s body, twisting together into a bolt of Ren Water True Thunder that resembled a flood dragon or a python.

The commotion from a Thunder Technique was far greater than that of a Sword Technique. Not wanting to attract too much attention, Yang Jing retracted his Magical Power and dissipated the astonishingly powerful bolt of Ren Water True Thunder.

The Five Elements Thunder Technique also had a Body Refinement effect, and its ability to nourish the five viscera was even better than most Body Refining Techniques.

After comprehending the Ren Water True Thunder, Yang Jing felt a thread of warmth rise from his kidneys.

’So, I’m a genius now.’

He put the two Jade Scrolls into his Storage Bag, a mix of shock and joy on his face. He stood up and paced around the Quiet Chamber a couple of times to calm himself before finally walking out.
