This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 475: Chapter 338: Requesting Heavenly Master Xu’s Sword Technique!

“The Mountain God can borrow the power of the mountain, transforming it into his own world, domain.”

“The River God can leverage the power of his conferred river and its surroundings.”

“The City God can tap into the geomantic omen within his territory.”

“What about me?”

Xu Yang was silent.

He carefully sensed his surroundings, discovering that he could only mobilize the “geomantic omen” within a thousand-kilometer radius. If the range was wider, he would struggle!

This was not because of Xu Yang’s lack of ability.

It was because leveraging the “geomantic omen” of a place required first “refining” and “controlling” it.

Even after the old man had refined the City God’s command, he had to “refine” the “geomantic omen” of an area in order to gain total control over it.

“Two days is enough.”

“Just not sure how much of the geomantic omen I can control…”

Xu Yang quietly pondered, settling his thoughts, he started to comprehend his current “world” with all his heart and soul.

But soon, he found a unique problem.

While refining his world’s “geomantic omen”, there seemed to be a mysterious power enhancing him. The refining speed was rapid. In less than three hours, Xu Yang could perfectly control the geomantic omen within a five-kilometer radius.

Three hours later, the range of his “geomantic omen” had reached as far as ten kilometers.

“!!!”

“What’s going on?”

Xu Yang was confused, he exclaimed, “Is it so easy to control the geomantic omen? And I only obtained the method of controlling the geomantic omen from the Lord of Silver City, I am not an officially conferred divine being.”

“The fact that I can control the geomantic omen is already absurd…”

“Could it be…There are no limits to the control over the geomantic omen?”

……

Meanwhile.

At the Li Clan in Longxi.

Inside the clan master’s residence.

Li Yihong was sitting cross-legged, comprehending a secret technique passed down by his ancestors. His body’s primordial energy was oscillating, his understanding of martial arts merging with the universe, faintly revealing a state of unity between man and nature.

He was always an expert in martial arts.

During the previous clan leadership contest, though he lost to his eldest brother “Li Yifeng”, he gained in a way – for the past few years he had no clan affairs to worry about, allowing his martial arts to progress, reaching the limit of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm!

Now that he had assumed the position of clan leader, received numerous resources and blessings from his ancestors, he had a chance to break through to the “Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm”

As a matter of fact, there were many martial arts experts like Li Yihong in Da Xia and around the world.

Those who had embarked on the martial arts path at the dawn of spiritual aura revival and cultivated to this level naturally had exceptional talent.

With the second surge of spiritual aura, the earth’s spiritual aura became more abundant and the Dao became more evident and easy to comprehend.

It would be normal for them to break through.

“Clan Leader!”

“Clan Leader!”

“Something terrible has happened!”

Just then, a shout came, followed by hurried footsteps approaching the door, with repeated knocks.

Li Yihong’s face changed dramatically, his body’s aura becoming chaotic.

He only felt his internal primordial energy rioting and circulating uncontrollably. His veins hissing, and his throat heating up, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Li Clan disciple outside the door heard Li Yihong coughing up blood and was even more alarmed, he cried out, “Clan Leader… Clan Leader, what’s wrong with you… Clan Leader, are you alright… Someone help, the Clan Leader…”

Bang!

The door suddenly burst open by a gust of wind, and the Li Clan disciple was sent flying.

Li Yihong appeared at the door with a dark face, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he gazed at the wailing Li Clan disciple on the ground, and said sternly, “I am in closed-door cultivation, no one is allowed to disturb me, your shouting and hollering, do you want to distract me and cause me to have a Qi Deviation?”

The disciple scrabbled up from the ground, repeatedly kowtowing, saying, “Clan Leader, it’s not that this disciple deliberately disturbed you… Something big happened.”

Li Yihong’s voice became colder, his body even starting to tremble.

It was unclear whether it was from anger, or because his cultivation was interrupted at a critical moment leading to his Qi Deviation and internal injuries.

He said coldly, “What could be more important than my breakthrough to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?”

The disciple replied, “Clan Leader… The disciple just saw a post on the Martial Arts Forum… The disciple felt that I should inform you immediately.”

“Oh?”

Li Yihong’s eyes flickered, and asked, “What post? Who posted it?”

“It was posted by Baixiao Sheng’s Descendant, the number one paparazzo in Da Xia’s martial world, Fang Wei. In his post, he spreads false rumors that our six major clans’ ancestors are about to emerge from seclusion, wanting to disrupt the promotion ceremony to the rank of Heavenly Master in the Jingming Sect!”

Li Yihong’s pupils shrank while his face rapidly paled.

The Li disciple only knew that he had disturbed his Clan Leader’s cultivation today, and he was fearful, not daring to look at Li Yihong’s face.

He said, “But Clan Leader, you can be assured. If Fang Wei usually spreads slander and defames minor warriors and cultivators in the martial world, that’s one thing. But now that he dares to stir up rumors and blame the six major clans, he is seeking his own death!”

“I have already asked our company’s legal affairs team to send a lawyer’s letter to the Martial Arts Forum.”

“I have also hired a few private detectives who are proficient in tracking to investigate Fang Wei’s identity….”

Bang!

Li Yihong extended his palm and knocked this young Li Clan disciple to the ground, He walked over and viciously kicked him in the waist. His eyes reddened with anger as he roared, “Damn it, who gave you the right to act on your own and send a lawyer’s letter to the Martial Arts Forum?”

“Withdraw it immediately!”

“If I see that so-called lawyer’s letter on the Martial Arts Forum, I will end you with my own hands!”

Leaving this cold message.

Li Yihong immediately channeled his primordial energy to repair the internal injuries in his body and quickly rushed to his room to log on to the Martial World’s Forum online.

Sure enough.

The post was pinned at the top.

The bright red font and the small “flame” icon at the end of the post symbolize the scorching popularity of this post!

Upon opening it.

Li Yihong realized that the process described in the post was identical to the one where he and the other five great families had a “secret meeting” that day.

Even…

There were several photos in the post, which were exactly the scenes of his “conspiracy” in the meeting room that day.

“What is this…”

“An audio file?”

Li Yihong found an audio file that needed to be downloaded before it could be played.

Download completed.

Play.

Familiar voices of conversation came from the audio—

“Today’s world is drastically different from a month ago, my ancestor said… when necessary, they can step out of the secret realm!”

“Brother Li is absolutely right, that Xu Yang is young and arrogant, if not suppressed, I fear he will become another Wang Hou!”

“…”

“Given that, on the eighth of August, I will be waiting at Xishan Wanshou Palace for your good news!”

“Brother Li, rest assured. At that time, our six great families will advance and retreat together, and anyone who breaks faith will be attacked by all!”

“But Brother Li… Xu Yang is a junior and has no grudge with us. If we actively seek trouble with him, wouldn’t we be ridiculed by the people of the martial world?”

“Hehe.”

“People of the martial world?”

Upon hearing this, Li Yihong’s face changed again!

The voices in the previous audio were indeed those of him and the heads of the other five great families conspiring, but these last words, he never said. However, that voice… was indeed his voice!

His voice continued to come out, utterly condescending, full of disdain: “For our six great families, what needs to be explained to others? Those trash in the martial world, dare they ridicule us?”

“Damn it!”

Boom!

In a rage, Li Yihong punched through the computer screen.

He didn’t understand why the matter they had conspired on was leaked.

To be honest, he initially thought this was done by Wu Wenqing of the “Wu Clan of Tai Lake”… but regardless of the later photos or the conversation content in the audio were all after Wu Wenqing had left.

He went to the meeting room and, by comparison, found that the shooting angle was in the meeting room, and one of the photos was even taken from behind him!

This made Li Yihong’s heart tremble for no reason, as if a chill was creeping up his back, raising goosebumps on his neck.

Who took these pictures in the end?

Could it be that there was a seventh person in the meeting room besides him and the heads of the five great families?

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible… If there was a seventh person in the meeting room, we couldn’t have missed it!”

He made calls to the heads of the other five great families, and found that they were just as confused. He had no choice but to go to the hill behind to meet the ancestor inside the cave heaven of the hill.

The overpowering true meaning of martial arts surged up around the Li Clan’s hill.

Li Yihong knelt on the ground and said, “Ancestor, our plan has been leaked. Shall we modify the plan?”

“No need.”

A majestic voice rang in Li Yihong’s mind, saying calmly, “What if Xu Yang finds out? No one in heaven or earth can save him from our six great families!”

……

September 23, 2023, the sixth day of the eighth lunar month.

That night.

The crescent moon looked like a blade.

The sky was dotted with stars, cicadas kept chirping in the night sky, and fireflies were faintly fluttering around, shining faint lights.

Gan Province.

Xishan Wanshou Palace, in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Xu Yang was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, radiating an unusually mysterious aura, as if he had merged into one with the world. With each inhale and exhale, it seemed as if the heavens and the earth around him were also fluctuating with his breathing.

10 o’clock at night.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath of stale air, and muttered, “It seems that the extent to which I can control the geomantic omen is also limited… the limit is probably around 35 kilometers in radius.”

“With the power of the geomantic omen within a radius of 35 kilometers, I can fight against a Land Immortal, but to slay a Land Immortal… I need some tactics.”

Xu Yang got up, walked out of the Taoist temple.

He went to those two towering ancient cypress and pine trees, took out the “Supreme Purification Seal” with a flip of his hand, bowed to the trees, and said, “Ancestors, our Jingming Sect is in crisis… If there’s any divine intervention, please lend the Mosquito Slaying Sword!”

Mosquito Slaying Sword.

According to the Jingming Sect’s [Daoist Collection], it was the sword of Heavenly Master Xu.

It was left under the ancient cypress and pine trees when he ascended to the immortality.

As Xu Yang’s words fell, the “Supreme Purification Seal” in his hand suddenly trembled and turned into a beam of light, drilling into the ground between the two ancient cypress and pine trees.

The next moment…

Hum!

The ground shook.

All of Xishan Wanshou Palace seemed to have been hit by an earthquake.

Then a sharp sword light shot up into the sky from the base of the two ancient cypress and pine trees!

Xu Yang reached out and grabbed the sword light into his hand. He looked closely and saw the words “Jiao-slaying” engraved on the blade.

Xu Yang: “????”

He looked shocked, and wondered, “The Jiao-slaying Sword? What’s going on? Didn’t the Daoist Collection say it’s the Mosquito Slaying Sword? Did the senior who transcribed the Daoist Collection misspell it?”
