Chapter 661 - 44: All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman

"The Ancient Divine Race has similar Divine Techniques. In fact, many of their great powers rose by using peerless inheritances from our Human Race to prove their Dao."

Jia Yin stared into Fang Cheng’s eyes, her own gaze captivating, and said leisurely, "If you release my Divine Soul Prohibition and return the Treasure Lotus to me, I will teach you that Profound Skill."

Fang Cheng smiled. "How can I know if you’re telling the truth? Why don’t you show me the Profound Skill first? If I can cultivate it, comprehend this Chaos Talisman, and successfully refine this Flying Sword, then I’ll lift your prohibition. How about that?"

"A monastic does not lie," Venerable Jiayin said faintly. "Since you’re unwilling to trust me, I won’t insist."

Fang Cheng laughed heartily, walked over to Venerable Jiayin, and pulled her into his embrace. After a moment of tenderness, he said, "How about this? I’ll return the Treasure Lotus to you first. Then, after you help me refine this sword, I’ll remove your Divine Soul Prohibition."

Venerable Jiayin allowed Fang Cheng to take liberties with her. A faint blush and a hint of coquettishness appeared on her dignified, snow-white face, but her words yielded not an inch. "I’m not asking for anything. Whether you choose to cultivate the Profound Skill is entirely up to you."

Left with no other choice, Fang Cheng used every trick in the book to try and coax her.

Unfortunately, the Nun had him right where she wanted him. She gave him no openings, insisting that he must first release the Divine Soul Prohibition and return the Treasure Lotus before she would teach him the Profound Skill.

In a fit of anger, right there beneath the mountain-sized, jet-black broken sword and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, Fang Cheng began to practice the "Supreme Profound Primordial Yin-Yang Infinite Treasure Scripture" with her.

After several back-and-forth sessions of cultivation and some difficult negotiations, the two finally reached an agreement.

Fang Cheng would first return the Treasure Lotus Magical Artifact to Jia Yin and release one-third of the Ten Thousand Demons Forbidden God Talisman’s prohibition.

In return, Jia Yin would, as promised, teach the Profound Skill to Fang Cheng.

Once Fang Cheng had completely refined the Ancient Divine Clan’s Broken Sword, he would then fully withdraw the Ten Thousand Demons Forbidden God Talisman.

During this period, the two would make a Dao Oath not to attack each other or do anything to harm the other.

In truth, Fang Cheng could sense Venerable Jiayin’s thoughts. The woman had long given up the idea of revenge. Her other hidden thoughts seemed to be related to his future ascension to the Spiritual Sky Realm.

However, after this matter was settled, their fated bond of Dual Cultivation would come to an end.

Once Venerable Jiayin recovered her divine soul and retrieved her magical artifact, she would leave on her own accord. Fang Cheng had no intention of forcibly keeping her by his side any longer.

The several decades of her company had long been enough for him.

But the thought of their impending separation made him even more invested during their Dual Cultivation. His tyrannical physique, having reached the sixth-turn, was almost too much for Jia Yin to handle.

It was the first time Fang Cheng had ever heard her use that clear, pleasant voice to cry out words of surrender in such a charming and delicate way.

Afterward, Fang Cheng obtained the Profound Skill as he wished.

Jia Yin, for her part, changed into a Zen Robe and gracefully departed from this void.

「A few days later.」

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged in the air above the Ancient Divine Clan’s Broken Sword. Behind him, Demonic Light flared like flames, and wind and fire coiled around his body.

The Netherworld Giant Kun swam through the vast emptiness, a wisp of Profound Light wrapped around its body, causing it to gradually transform.

The Profound Skill from the Upper Realm that Venerable Jiayin had left behind was indeed endlessly mysterious, in no way inferior to the other Spirit Immortal inheritances Fang Cheng had cultivated.

However, this technique possessed no Power of Attack and Destruction. Instead, it was a Secret Technique for simulating the circulation of Divine Power in an Ancient Divine Race Cultivator. It could transform a Cultivator’s Dharma Aspect into that of an Ancient Divine Race Cultivator, allowing them to wield their Divine Power.

Fang Cheng spent several million Creation Points to deduce this technique to the Great Success Realm, then couldn’t wait to use it.

Behind him, the ten-thousand-foot-long Netherworld Giant Kun gradually transformed into a towering, three-headed, six-armed giant. Its muscles were bulging and ferocious, its body was covered in purplish-black scales, and sharp bone spurs jutted out from its shoulders and elbows.

The giant’s face bore some resemblance to the Human Race, but its brow was more prominent, its cheeks long and narrow. Six pairs of cold, purple-glowing eyes stared forward with an expression that looked down upon all creation.

The circulation of Magical Power in the Ancient Divine Race was completely different from that of the Human Race.

After silently contemplating this for a while, Fang Cheng used his Dharma Aspect’s perspective to observe the inscriptions on the jet-black broken sword. He could finally sense with clarity the profound mysteries of the three inscriptions.

’Chaos Talisman!’

In his sea of consciousness, the Creation Golden Talisman trembled slightly, and a few lines of clear text appeared upon it—

[Talisman Master] Fang Cheng

[Divine Power Technique]

All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman (Fragment) · Initiate (0/9,500,000)

...

Reaching the Initiate level required nine million five hundred thousand Creation Points.

Compared to Cultivation Techniques like the Mixed Element Seven Tribulations Diagram or the Primordial Celestial Demon Strategy, which cost around one million points, this Divine Technique of the Ancient Divine Race was nine to ten times more expensive.

Fang Cheng suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and silently began to allocate the points.

The Creation Golden Talisman pulsed with divine light. As it trembled gently, a massive influx of comprehension and Spiritual Sense appeared in his sea of consciousness.

This Sword Dao Divine Technique of the Ancient Divine Race was merely a method of combining and transforming a few Chaos Talismans. It seemed simple, yet it pointed directly to the origin of the Sword Dao.

Using three Chaos Talismans as a foundation, one could combine and condense them into a single All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman. This could then be used to refine a Flying Sword, making it "heavy," "sharp," and "fast."

These three characteristics would continuously improve as the number of All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talismans increased.

Fang Cheng circulated his Cultivation Technique. The six hands of the Ancient Divine Race Dharma Aspect behind him formed seals, and its vast Magical Power quickly condensed into three Chaos Talismans.

These three Chaos Talismans came together as if forming an array, attracting and revolving around one another until they finally combined into a brand new Sword Talisman that resembled a heavy sword.

It was precisely the All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman!

Fang Cheng executed a Transformation Technique with his hands. With a flash of light, the All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman suddenly split into two Sword Talismans.

Fang Cheng cultivated for several days, and these two Sword Talismans each split again, becoming four.

A few months later, the four Sword Talismans each split, becoming eight.

The eight All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talismans evolved into a profound Sword Array. A heavy Sword Intent pressed down like a great mountain, yet it also gave off a feeling of ultimate sharpness—as if it could split the heavens, sunder the earth, and cut through anything!

A realization dawned on Fang Cheng: if he continued to cultivate, it might take several years for these eight Sword Talismans to split again.

At that time, sixteen Sword Talismans would combine to form a new Sword Array.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, pointed a finger, and sent all eight Sword Talismans into the jet-black broken sword.

ZING!

A jet-black Sword Aura suddenly erupted.

The ten-thousand-foot-tall broken sword flew into the air. Following Fang Cheng’s will, it transformed into a black rainbow of light, circled once through the void, and then suddenly shrank a thousandfold to land before him.
