Chapter 1781 - 11: Nine-character True Words

"This group of people are in a hurry, it seems they want to go somewhere, let’s hide for now!"

Lin Feng said.

He cast an Array Pattern, concealing the group’s presence.

Currently, a conflict with Dugu Ditian and others is clearly not a wise choice, and it seems these people are here for treasure hunting.

It’s perfect to follow them, becoming the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind—a good show awaits.

"Junior Brother’s Formation skills are truly exceptional!" Lei Qian couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Senior Brother Lei is too kind!" Lin Feng smiled humbly.

It wasn’t long.

Dugu Ditian and his group arrived at this forest where Lin Feng and his companions were hiding.

Since Lin Feng had already used the Concealing Skill of the Heavenly Master Dao to hide everyone’s figure, even their breath was concealed.

Thus, Dugu Ditian and his group did not notice them.

"Junior Brother! We’ve searched several places, but haven’t found the object you mentioned. Could the message be wrong? Or perhaps someone else has got it?"

A disciple of the Supreme Immortal Sect spoke out.

Dugu Ditian replied, "Impossible! We just haven’t found the right location. No matter how long it takes, we must find the Nine-character True Words!"

"Hiss!"

...

Lin Feng and others hiding in the shadows gasped upon hearing the words "Nine-character True Words."

Nine-character True Words.

One of Taoism’s supreme inheritance.

The Nine-character True Words are.

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing.

These nine characters transformed from the Great Tao’s sublimation to the extreme, containing endless wondrous methods.

Every character possesses unimaginable powers.

Lin Feng still remembers the Peak Master Que Butian of Azure Cloud Sect’s Heavenly Repair Peak mastered the "Bing" character true word among the Nine-character True Words.

It truly is a peerless skill.

Back then, how formidable was the Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate? Wielding the Sky Demon Clan’s Holy Artifact, Demon Lotus, unrivaled.

Yet.

Que Butian forcefully snatched control of the Demon Lotus from the Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate using the "Bing" character true word.

It’s truly an unimaginable ability.

Imagine this.

A life and death duel, evenly matched.

One suddenly unleashes the "Bing" character true word among the Nine-character True Words.

Forcibly seizing control of the opponent’s Magical Treasure.

Then manipulating the opponent’s treasure to attack them.

How terrifying is that?

Originally evenly matched, one might find life and death decided instantly.

...

Dugu Ditian and his group didn’t linger in the forest, quickly leaving.

After they left, Lin Feng and his companions emerged from hiding.

"It’s said that most of the Nine-character True Words have been lost, even Taoism currently only has two or three characters mastery. If there’s an inheritance of the Nine-character True Words here, getting it would be legendary," Lei Qian rubbed his hands with excitement.

"Follow them! If Dugu Ditian fails to find the Nine-character True Words, so be it! If they find it! We’ll act immediately to seize it!" Lin Feng said.

The others nodded.

If we truly seize Dugu Ditian’s Nine-character True Words.

Both sides will instantly have an undying and unending feud.

But so what?

Both sides are already enemies.

Is there anything more exciting than snatching inheritance or treasures from your enemies?

...

Lin Feng and his companions dared not follow too closely, fearing Dugu Ditian and his group might notice them.

In this way, for several days, they ventured through various places, yet Dugu Ditian and his group gained nothing.

Until they arrived at an Abyss.

"Roar!"

Inside the Abyss, beast roars shook the heavens, Dugu Ditian and his group engaged in a fierce battle with the Abyss’s Fierce Beasts.

After more than an hour, the beast roars gradually subsided.

Lin Feng and others then quietly entered the Abyss.

Arriving at the bottom of the Abyss, they saw the ground was filled with countless dead Fierce Beast bodies.

These were beasts resembling Earth Dragons and lizards, mostly around ten meters long.

About two hundred of them, all killed by Dugu Ditian and his group.

Dugu Ditian and his group were nowhere in sight.

Lin Feng guessed they must have ventured deeper inside.

They carefully infiltrated.

Upon reaching the depths.

They suddenly discovered.

At the deepest part of the Abyss, there was an altar.

And a group of Supreme Immortal Sect disciples were scattered around the altar.

Dugu Ditian said, "Hand me the Earth Lizard Dragon’s souls!"

Instantly, a Supreme Immortal Sect disciple handed Dugu Ditian a Small Tripod.

Inside the Small Tripod were the sealed souls of over two hundred Fierce Beasts.

It was the souls of the deceased Earth Lizard Dragons.

Dugu Ditian placed the Small Tripod, sealing the Earth Lizard Dragon souls, atop the altar, then he used his finger as a blade.

Slashing his palm.

Fresh blood dripped into the Small Tripod.

Then Dugu Ditian stepped away from the altar.

And he, along with a group of Supreme Immortal Sect disciples, knelt before the altar.

"With the souls of the Earth Lizard Dragons and my blood as offerings, I pray to the revered Taoist Master, bestow the inheritance of the Nine-character True Words upon us!"

Dugu Ditian began to pray devoutly.

With his words concluded.

The Earth Lizard Dragon souls and his blood inside the Small Tripod started to blaze fiercely.

Meanwhile.

Clattering booming sounds emerged from above the Tao Platform.

Witnessing this scene.

Dugu Ditian instantly became excited.

"The Nine-character True Words! They’re really descending!"

The other disciples of the Supreme Immortal Sect also showed extremely excited expressions.

The Nine-character True Words, akin to Buddhism’s Six Character True Words.

Are foundational to establishing sects.

Once acquired, in the unseen, one gets entangled with Taoism.

In the future.

When Taoism’s various inheritances and supreme treasures emerge.

Cultivators of the Nine-character True Words go to vie for them.

Will be protected fortuitously.

Obtaining those treasures! Inheritances! Highly likely.

So this isn’t just about acquiring the Nine-character True Words.

It involves the unseen "Qi Fortune"!

"Boom!"

A swirling vortex appeared.

From the vortex.

Intense fluctuations emanated.

Whoosh.

Finally!

An Energy Light Group flew out.

Inside the Energy Light Group.

Was encased a Jade Tube.

Clearly.

The Jade Tube.

Most likely records the cultivation skill of the Nine-character True Words.

After the Jade Tube appeared.

The vortex atop the Tao Platform vanished.

"The Nine-character True Words! Finally obtained!"

Dugu Ditian said excitedly, about to rise up to retrieve the Nine-character True Words.

Suddenly.

Figures quickly rushed from afar.

It was Lin Feng and his group.

Huowu Immortal and six others charged towards Dugu Ditian and his group.

While Lin Feng swiftly flew to the Tao Platform.

Before they acted, they had already planned the strategy, involving Huowu Immortal and six others drawing Dugu Ditian’s attention.

While the fastest Lin Feng would retrieve the Jade Tube.

Get the Jade Tube, then leave immediately.

Lin Feng’s speed was tremendous.

So fast that one could only see a fleeting shadow across the air.

"Courting death"! Dugu Ditian roared, wanting to kill Lin Feng.

But by this time, Huowu and others had arrived.

Lei Qian was the first to strike, wielding the Thunder God’s Hammer, swinging a mighty blow towards Dugu Ditian.
