Chapter 55 Purple Lightning Hammer
Chapter 55 Purple Lightning Hammer
A personally taught disciple!
Upon hearing those four words, Lin Yuan felt his head buzzing.
This is a direct transmission from a sage!
As far as he knew, the Tongtian Sect Leader had four true disciples and seven attendant immortals (Wuyun Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, Lingya Immortal, Jinguang Immortal, Pilu Immortal, Jingu Immortal, and Changer Dingguang Immortal), whose status was lower than that of the four true disciples.
However, in online discussions in the previous life, some people also grouped Zhao Gongming and other elite outer disciples together, referring to them as the "Eight Great Disciples".
Hearing the Tongtian Sect Leader say this proves that in his eyes, elite outer disciples like Zhao Gongming are all equivalent to his personal disciples!
Now, his status is on par with that of Duobao Daoren, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortal Maidens!
In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, as long as the Tongtian Sect Leader does not fall, Lin Yuan will be the true Crown Prince!
"Disciple greets Master!"
Without saying a word, Lin Yuan respectfully performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony.
"My good disciple, get up quickly."
The more the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Lin Yuan, the more pleasing he became, and he pointed directly at him with a finger.
"Buzz—"
A beam of azure light entered Lin Yuan's mind between his eyebrows.
"That 'Shangqing Yinqi Pian' is merely an incomplete piece; how could it be worthy of my status as a direct disciple of Tongtian?"
"Today, I, your master, bestow upon you the supreme Dharma of the Intercepting Sect—the complete version of the *Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing*!"
Rumble!
The vast and profound scriptures of the Great Dao exploded in Lin Yuan's mind.
This is an unparalleled immortal technique that points directly to the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos!
Lin Yuan didn't have time to think much. He immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a deep state of enlightenment.
"boom!"
Within Lin Yuan's body, the mana power at the peak of the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm was running wildly like a runaway horse under the guidance of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.
The crimson sun in the left eye and the deep blue icy sea in the right eye intertwined instantly.
That was the origin of the domineering and unparalleled Golden Crow True Fire within his body and the Water Attribute Dragon Pearl of the East Sea True Dragon.
Although these two forces had previously achieved a balance of "water and fire working together," they ultimately carried the wildness and killing intent of the demon race.
But at this moment, the domineering and pure Shangqing immortal light surged in.
This celestial light acted like a perfect harmonizer, instantly enveloping and refining the essence of water and fire.
"唳——"
A clear, melodious bird call echoed through the desolate mountains.
Behind Lin Yuan, the ten-zhang-tall [Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Image] rose uncontrollably into the sky.
The original three-legged golden crow was surrounded by demonic fire that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, exuding the ferocious power of an ancient demon.
But under the influence of the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing.
The crimson-gold demonic flames that filled the sky gradually subsided.
A layer of profound and ethereal Taoist energy, like a Taoist robe, draped over the Golden Crow's image.
Moreover, a nascent form of two flowers gathering at the top of the head was faintly condensing on the Dharma image!
Having completely shed the wildness and ferocity of the demon race, he transformed into an ethereal and otherworldly being... "Shangqing Demon Immortal"!
"Late stage of the Dao Integration Realm... Broken!"
Lin Yuan mentally shouted.
With a series of cracking sounds from the bones within his body, his cultivation level once again leaped to a new level, steadily reaching the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm!
The Tongtian Sect Leader, who was protecting the Dharma on the side, nodded repeatedly as he watched this scene, his eyes full of admiration.
"Such terrifying comprehension."
"It is astonishing that it was able to perfectly fuse the Golden Crow Emperor's blood with my Shangqing Immortal Techniques, creating this kind of Shangqing Demon Immortal Dharma Form."
"Such talent surpasses even that of Duobao back in his day."
Just as the Tongtian Sect Leader was feeling gratified.
His divine sense, as a saint, inadvertently swept over the depths of Lin Yuan's Niwan Palace.
"what?"
The Master of Heaven raised an eyebrow slightly.
In his vision, deep within Lin Yuan's sea of consciousness, there was a chaotic mist that even he found unsettling.
Within that mist, the faint phantom of a broken ancient bell floated and sank, radiating supreme power that suppressed the primordial space and time.
"So it really is a fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader was greatly shocked.
No wonder this kid was able to freeze time and space at Chentang Pass and snatch Nezha's true spirit from Taiyi Zhenren and the Four Dragon Kings.
So it turns out they obtained a supreme innate defensive treasure of such earth-shattering level!
If it were any other greedy powerful being, or even those two from the Western Sect, upon seeing such a precious fragment, they would probably have already entertained the idea of killing and seizing it.
But who exactly is the Tongtian Sect Leader?
He is a man of great pride and righteousness. Since he has recognized Lin Yuan as his personal disciple, then the disciple's opportunities belong to the disciple!
"No wonder that old scoundrel Yuanshi couldn't figure out this kid's background; the fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell itself has the effect of concealing heavenly secrets."
"However, a fragment is still a fragment. With this kid's cultivation at the Dao Integration Realm, if that old bastard Yuanshi insists on deducing it regardless of appearances, he will eventually reveal his flaws."
The Master of Heaven sneered.
"Yuanshi, you think you can harm my disciple? Not a chance!"
The Master of the Heavenly Sect secretly flicked his finger.
A sage's essence, containing the fortune of the Jie Sect and the intent of the Zhuxian Sword, entered Lin Yuan's sea of consciousness and merged with the fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
"Buzz!"
A layer of sage-level heavenly secrets shrouded Lin Yuan, completely locking away his destiny.
From this moment on, unless the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself stands in front of Lin Yuan with the Pangu Banner, even if he examines the Creation Jade Disc until it is worn out, he will not be able to calculate even a fraction of Lin Yuan's cause and effect!
"call--"
Lin Yuan exhaled a long breath of turbid air mixed with golden flames and pure energy, and slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the terrifying magical power within his body that seemed capable of tearing through the void with bare hands, and the completely perfected supreme Dao body, he quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Master once again.
"Many thanks to Master for transmitting the Dharma!"
"Haha, we are master and disciple, there's no need for such formalities."
The Master of Heaven laughed heartily, his mood reaching its peak.
Just then.
"Croak~"
A croaking sound, as endearing as a frog, came from the cave behind Lin Yuan.
A fat toad, about the size of a small hill, with a round belly and big, clear, foolish eyes, hopped out of its cave.
It was the Void Returning Realm Thunder Frog that Lin Yuan had subdued in Black Swamp Mountain, with a thunder pearl in its mouth.
It had been hiding in the cave, trembling with fear under the saint's oppressive aura. Only now that the aura had dissipated did it dare to peek out and look for its master.
"what?"
When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw the thunder frog, he was momentarily stunned.
"This is... a descendant of the ancient beast, the Thunder-Swallowing Toad?"
"You little rascal, you certainly know how to pick your mode of transportation. Such a strange beast that possesses a companion thunder pearl is quite rare."
The Master of Heaven stroked his chin.
His newly accepted eighth disciple possessed the bloodline of the Golden Crow and cultivated the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture. His appearance was majestic and domineering.
But why don't I have a single decent magic weapon in my hand?
We can't just rely on physical strength to beat those Golden Immortals from the Chan Sect when we fight them in the future, can we?
That would be a huge disgrace to the leader of the Jie Sect!
"My dear disciple, now that you have become my disciple, I naturally cannot let you suffer in poverty."
The Master of Heaven waved his sleeve.
"Sizzle!"
Suddenly, a blinding purple lightning bolt exploded in the void.
A peerless divine weapon, its entire body crackling with violent purple lightning, its hammerhead as heavy as an ancient star, and radiating an aura of destruction, slowly floated in mid-air.
Innate spiritual treasure—the Purple Lightning Hammer!
Lin Yuan stared at the peerless, deadly weapon crackling with lightning before him, his mouth practically watering.
This is one of the magical treasures that the Tongtian Sect Leader carried with him in the original story, and its power is astonishing!
However, Lin Yuan was just about to reach out and take it.
The Master of the Heavens smiled slightly and tapped his fingertip lightly.
"Buzz—"
The terrifying purple lightning hammer's light faded, and it disappeared back into the void.
"Master, this is..." Lin Yuan was stunned.
"You greedy little devil."
The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head and chuckled, "This is a primordial spiritual treasure, its power capable of destroying heaven and earth. You have not yet passed the tribulation to become an immortal, and are merely a mortal body. You cannot even withstand a trace of the Purple Mansion Divine Lightning it emits."
"If you force it, it will instantly drain your life essence and primordial spirit. Magical treasures are wonderful, but you have to be alive to use them."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a sudden chill and broke out in a cold sweat.
indeed!
I was somewhat blinded by the treatment of being personally taught by a sage.
Such a primordial spiritual treasure, capable of suppressing the fortune of an entire sect, would be difficult even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to use. For an ant at the Dao Integration Realm to attempt to obtain it would be like an old man eating poison—he's asking for trouble.
"However, now that I have accepted you as my personal disciple, how could I let you leave empty-handed?"
The Master of Heaven grabbed with his backhand.
Lightning gathered in his palm once more.
This time, it transformed into a slightly smaller, dark purple short hammer with restrained lightning, yet still exuding a terrifying aura.
"This is a replica of the Purple Lightning Hammer."
"It's a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure that your eldest brother, Daoist Duobao, personally forged using meteorite iron from the Nine Heavens after observing my Purple Lightning Hammer in his early years!"
"Although it's just a replica, it contains the true essence of the Nine Heavens Purple Mansion Divine Thunder. With your current Dao Integration Realm power, combined with that Thunder Frog mount, it'll be just right to use it."
At this point, a hint of expectation flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
"When you transcend tribulation and become an immortal, cultivating a true demon-immortal body, I will personally bestow upon you the real Purple Lightning Hammer!"
Drawing a pie in the sky!
A pie in the sky drawn by a sage himself!
But Lin Yuan ate this pie willingly, his blood boiling with excitement!
"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"
Lin Yuan took the replica Purple Lightning Hammer with both hands.
The moment he got his hands on it, a violent surge of lightning power resonated with the Golden Crow True Fire within his body.
Although it was as heavy as a mountain, it did not have that uncontrollable sense of oppression. Instead, it gave him a terrifying sense of heroic spirit that he could smash a mountain with a single hammer blow.
Followed by.
The Tongtian Sect Leader then took out a cyan jade talisman from his robes and handed it to Lin Yuan.
On the jade talisman was carved an ancient Qingping sword.
"This is the [Qingping Jade Token]."
"To see this decree is as if I were personally present!"
"Take this, and all the immortals of my Jie Sect, whether inner or outer disciples, must treat you with the respect due to a personal senior brother, and you may order you around!"
The ninth personal disciple!
Command the myriad immortals of the Intercepting Sect!
This gift is far too generous!
Lin Yuan gripped the Qingping Jade Token tightly, his heart surging with excitement.
He looked up and glanced at the fat Thunder Frog squatting beside him, staring blankly at the Purple Lightning Hammer.
An image unconsciously surfaced in my mind.
He stood on a Thunder Frog of the Returning Void Realm, which spewed thunder from its mouth.
He held a fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell in his left hand, a fragment capable of freezing time and space.
He held the Purple Lightning Hammer, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, with lightning flashing in his right hand.
Behind it is the ten-zhang-tall Shangqing Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Image.
He also had the Azure Jade Token, which could command all immortals, hanging from his waist!
What kind of godlike start is this?!
No, this is truly divine gear, a max-level expert returning to the beginner village!
Even if it's just a replica of the Purple Lightning Hammer, it would still be a game-changer among the mortal lords and third-generation disciples who haven't yet achieved immortality.
