Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 277 - 250 Renaming to Donghua Temple, Opening a New World

Chapter 277: Chapter 250 Renaming to Donghua Temple, Opening a New World

Shi Yinhua had become even more ruthless than before.

In the past, it was all about mutual cooperation, but during the battle eight years ago, apart from Qi Qi, the cowardly and self-serving actions of the foxes and snake demons left him utterly disheartened.

Shi Yinhua was already qualified for Core Formation three years ago, but he spent those three years reanalyzing the Divine Medium Immortal Technique.

He improved the technique by incorporating the principles of the Divine Dao.

Initially, the primary goal of the Divine Medium technique was mutual benefit.

This goal would not change.

But what is the foundation of mutual benefit? The foundation lies in both parties adhering to their commitments.

Even with talismans for control, it was impossible to swiftly subdue those demons harboring malicious intentions.

What Shi Yinhua did is straightforward.

First, he completed five fully integrated magic veins.

Second, he positioned himself as the Master of the Magic Veins, requiring all contracts to be signed in the name of Five Directions Immortal—his Taoist title. Furthermore, when demons and humans make agreements, they must leave behind a strand of their soul.

With these soul strands, Shi Yinhua could take their lives at will.

Additionally, every disciple in the Divine Medium magic vein, as well as all true Qi and mana cultivated through this technique, would provide a partial feedback loop to himself.

This nature of power acquisition differs from that of the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate steals all mana.

Shi Yinhua was not as excessive—his method only tapped into the feedback during the moments Divine Medium techniques were in use.

These energies would be funneled to strengthen his Golden Core and dharma image.

From now on, everyone cultivating this art must revere the title of Five Directions Immortal.

This was the culmination of the past eight years.

After taming a hedgehog demon, Shi Yinhua returned to his mountain cave to prepare for his Core Formation breakthrough.

These eight years were not solely about Shi Yinhua’s progress with Core Formation.

Aside from Shi Yinhua, Wang Ziyue, Guu Yuchan, and Yan Jiuge also achieved Core Formation breakthroughs.

Of course, their breakthroughs weren’t realized within eight years but relied on the Little Golden Altar Cave Heaven.

The lifespan of the Little Golden Altar Cave Heaven is three years.

The internal flow of time operates at a ratio of one to twenty.

With more than two years of lifespan remaining, they essentially cultivated for over forty years.

The Small Cave Heaven accommodates ten individuals at a time.

Apart from those three, other senior practitioners had at least reached Divine Establishment; some even attained Divine Establishment Perfection.

Qingyu and Xiao Xuan also each progressed to Divine Establishment.

If Song Lin were to return to the Taoist Temple again, he would find that more than half of the temple masters had changed.

Black Wind Valley.

From the desolate valley floor, a gourd suddenly sprang forth.

Song Lin stumbled out from the gourd, looking disheveled.

"That was close," he muttered.

Song Lin let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps his excessive collection of Xuanying Qi had attracted the attention of the Heavenly Venerate.

Song Lin almost got caught by that figure.

Nevertheless, his gains were undoubtedly immense.

Song Lin concentrated his thoughts.

Buzz!

From the void came the resounding hum of swords.

The colors of eight lights intertwined, illuminating the barren desert.

Around Song Lin floated eight divine swords.

These swords, seemingly imbued with spirit, orbited him.

Each displayed a distinct hue.

Song Lin named them after the seasons and natural phenomena—Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon.

Each sword possessed unique properties.

Song Lin contemplated briefly before collecting the swords back.

The eight years of cultivation had bolstered his Taoist Realm to two hundred years.

The Swordman realm exists within the Spiritual Hero Realm, stepping toward the Sixth Realm Immortal Hero stage.

After reviewing his status panel, Song Lin prepared to enter the World in the Pot for seclusion.

The Xuanying Qi he had absorbed was nearly fully refined.

A few days of secluded cultivation would suffice to harmonize his Qi and enter the Immortal Martial stage.

Breaking into Immortal Martial would allow him to advance to the late Core Formation stage.

Originally, he could have achieved a breakthrough in the Eight Sceneries World, but that place was far too hazardous, and Song Lin stubbornly repressed his realm before departing.

"Late-stage Core Formation, here I come!"

Song Lin thought to himself.

Breaking into late Core Formation essentially meant the end of formal cultivation.

The Core Formation stage comprises Nourishing Pill, Alchemy, and Breaking Core phases.

The Breaking Core phase requires no cultivation.

One simply needs to find the right opportunity for "Breaking Core and Opening Mansion."

Afterward, upon breaking through, he planned to explore another narrative world that held potential opportunities.

No minute of this century-long timeframe could afford to be squandered.

With this thought, Song Lin prepared to enter the Dragon Mansion Jade Gourd for seclusion.

At that moment, the black clouds in the sky parted, and golden beams of light descended upon the earth.

"Hmm?"

Song Lin raised his head.

He saw Zhi Xin and Earth Evil approaching.

Seeing the two, Song Lin instinctively knew he had to leave.

Zhi Xin’s waist was adorned again with magical talismans and jade tokens, which appeared to be from the Upper Pure Three Cave Scripture, known colloquially as the Three Cave Five Thunder Talisman—of a noticeably higher grade than the Five Thunder Talisman.

As one’s realm advances, the acquisition of talismans becomes increasingly challenging.

Song Lin currently possessed the Five Thunder Talisman; his next goal was a Three Cave Five Thunder Talisman.

Even breakthrough to the Purple Mansion realm would not guarantee obtaining the Three Cave Five Thunder Talisman. It typically comes accompanied by other talismans, such as the High Divine Sky Talisman or the Supreme Cave Abyss Secret Talisman, granted simultaneously—holding both to signify distinction.

"Too long a wait," Zhi Xin said with a smile.

The group flew out of Black Wind Valley.

Earth Evil departed immediately thereafter.

"Earth Evil is a friend of mine. If you need to rent any Cave Heavens or Blessed Lands, you can contact him," Zhi Xin explained.

"Can they really be rented?"
