Cultivators Are So Weak in This World-Chapter 236 - 216 Multiple Layers 2

Zhang Rongfang felt emotional. It would take at least over a month to travel from the Great Capital to Citong.

This calculation was based on their relatively fast speed.

During this month away from the master’s protection, what might happen was anyone’s guess.

He certainly didn’t believe that the force behind Yan Shuang would sincerely help him achieve his goals.

They definitely had an agenda.

Now that the Eastern Sect had collapsed, and only a tenth of the Golden Wing Pavilion remained, he possessed a secret of hidden treasures.

’Once I’m out of the Great Capital, I’ll enhance my martial capabilities as quickly as possible.’

Immediately, Zhang Rongfang glanced at the twelve attribute points he had accumulated.

This reserve, combined with the super-grade secret potion and hidden methods, awaited only the escape from his master’s and uncle’s strict supervision.

Afterwards, he searched for a map of Citong in the library.

Preparing thoroughly before going.

Once he found the map, Zhang Rongfang gently unfolded it, took a look,

and his eyes trembled instantly.

’This is!?’

A thought flashed through his mind, recalling the mysterious map rolled from the golden-patterned key he had obtained earlier.

That mysterious map was incredibly similar to a part of the Citong map at the bottom right corner in front of him!!

’Could it be that the hidden treasure is at Cituogang Port!??!’ Zhang Rongfang felt a chill as this speculation crossed his mind.

Immediately, he quickly used the tools from the Wuyun Pavilion to make a copy of the map.

When he returned, he would compare it with the map obtained from the key to confirm.

’If it truly is here, then it’s quite the coincidence that I’m sent to this place....’ Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes slightly, harboring a thought.

With the copied map in hand, he returned to his room, turned off the lights, and under the moonlight, secretly took out the map copied from the key to compare carefully.

The result showed that the pattern copied from the key was indeed part of Citong’s map!

This result only bolstered Zhang Rongfang’s suspicion.

The next morning, at daybreak.

He took his packed luggage and, along with three accompanying Daoists, headed to the city’s exit in the Great Capital.

There, Zhang Rongfang would team up with Princess Yongxiang and head to Citong together.

Yue Dewen did not show up to see him off, only allowing Mingyuan and Zhang Qingzhi to accompany the group out of the palace.

Outside the Celestial Treasure Palace.

Zhang Rongfang slowly carried his luggage, walking out of the tall palace gates.

He descended the long stone steps,

the stone steps were as clean and tidy as when he first came, with both sides filled with worshippers and tourists offering incense.

He turned around and saw that the blooming flowers of the entire Celestial Treasure Palace had mostly withered, leaving only black branches and verdant leaves swaying in the wind.

"Senior brother, I’ll leave my pets in your care." Zhang Rongfang seriously said to Zhang Qingzhi.

"Rest assured, junior brother, I’ll make sure to return you a healthy Xiaohong!" Zhang Qingzhi earnestly nodded.

He also glanced at the three people beside his junior brother.

Two of them were unremarkable, aside from their robust physiques, they had no other distinguishing features.

The remaining one had a scar on his face, empty eyes, and stood straight as if he were a block of ice, always following behind Zhang Rongfang.

These three were the guards given to his junior by their master.

As a weak literary cultivator, his junior absolutely needed powerful guards to ensure his safety.

"Junior brother, don’t be reckless in trying to display martial prowess. Although you’ve learned martial arts, it pales in comparison to the troubles in Citong.

This event is mostly under the command of Princess Yongxiang, and you’re merely representing our teaching, just to make a statement. So remember, don’t act impulsively or argue with the Commandery Princess." Zhang Qingzhi advised.

Apparently, he had also investigated quite a bit over the past few days.

"Don’t worry, I understand," Zhang Rongfang glanced at the twelve attribute points accumulated in his attribute panel.

Now with sufficient attribute points, secret potions and methods in hand, everything was set, only waiting for the right moment.

Once outside the oversight of his master and uncle, he could quickly enhance himself and reach super grade.

Golden Toad Skill, Illusion Talisman Skill, Supreme Bright Void Skill.

Zhang Rongfang had a premonition that upon returning, he might transform entirely.

"With that, I shall now take my leave."

He cupped his hands towards Zhang Qingzhi and Uncle Mingyuan.

"Take care," Zhang Qingzhi returned the gesture.

"...."

Mingyuan had a quiet gaze, but also returned the gesture.

Zhang Rongfang turned around and swiftly descended the stone steps.

He continued downward until he reached the end of the stone steps of the Celestial Treasure Palace, and looked back once more.

Zhang Qingzhi and Uncle Mingyuan were still standing there, watching from afar.

And at the palace gates behind him, a figure with flowing sleeves was also standing there, gazing at him from a distance.

Zhang Rongfang recognized it was his master Chongxuan.

He solemnly bowed deeply in respect.

Then stood upright, boarding the black and white carriage marking the Celestial Treasure Palace.

The carriage began to move slowly, gradually picking up speed, traveling along the main road towards the Chongde Sect gate in the Great Capital.

Zhang Rongfang sat poised inside the carriage, the three accompanying were expressionless, following alongside the carriage swiftly.

Only after the Celestial Treasure Palace was completely out of sight did he withdraw his gaze.

’Master... Perhaps this disciple will let you down....’

He sighed, feeling emotional.

From the start, he had decided not to worship gods, so future Spirit Generals and such, were mere illusions like castles in the air or reflections on water.

Listening to the wheels of the carriage crunch over the muddy ground.

Zhang Rongfang understood.

What the Great Dao Teaching would hatch from its shell next depended entirely on him....

Closing his eyes.

Since the elixir of Golden Toad Skill had yet to succeed.

Then....

The attribute panel flashed before his eyes, and without hesitation, Zhang Rongfang immediately clicked on the plus sign beside the final Talismanic Skill, the Spirit Gathering Talisman.

Swoosh.

With the reduction of free attribute points.

The text behind the Spirit Gathering Talisman began to rapidly change.

From novice to proficient to perfect and finally, limit-breaking.

Thus, the last Talismanic Skill martial art was fully mastered.

And within the parentheses following the Limit-Breaking Skill.

Apart from the previous Limit-Breaking Skills, new characters appeared again.

’Limit-Breaking Skill—Shrinking Step, Heavy Mountain, Songyun, Yin Creek.’

Yin Creek was the last Limit-Breaking Skill in the Great Dao Teaching’s martial arts that Zhang Rongfang hadn’t mastered.

In an instant, a booming sound echoed in his mind.

Countless memories of diligently practicing the Spirit Gathering Talisman flooded his brain.

Simultaneously, his body emitted a series of cracking sounds like popping beans, with muscles compressing and bones trembling.

The muscle groups involved in the Limit-Breaking Skills spasmed rapidly across his body, as if electrified.

The three Limit-Breaking Skills from the Great Dao Teaching connected entirely in this instant. Like a fishing net.

A feeling of the entire body’s muscles and fascia becoming seamless and soft like water naturally granted him an insight.

The only martial arts Extreme State of the Great Dao Teaching—Yin and Yang in Harmony.

At this moment, it was finally realized.
