Hearing about his own background, Xu Yang hurriedly asked, “Grandpa, you found me on the banks of the Yellow River back then? Who are my biological parents?”
Xu Zhiyuan shook his head.
“Back then, you were still a baby, lying in a bamboo basket by the bank of the Yellow River, surrounded by a cloud of Yin energy, with many Yin spirits and malevolent beings lurking nearby. It was because of this that I noticed and saved you after driving away those Yin spirits.”
After a pause, Xu Zhiyuan continued, “I initially thought that those Yin spirits and malevolent beings wanted to harm you, but now that I think about it carefully, it might not be the case… you were just a baby in swaddling clothes back then. If those Yin spirits and malevolent beings really wanted to harm you, they would have done so long ago, but instead they seemed to be protecting you.”
“???”
Xu Yang was confused.
Being protected by a group of Yin spirits and malevolent beings…
This kind of plot might only be seen in novels!
With that said, he might really have a significant background?
“Forget it… My origins are like floating clouds to me, why should I care about them?”
Xu Yang shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said, “Old man, how about we go to the Xishan Wanshou Palace right now? The disciples of the Dao Palace will be very happy to see you returning!”
Xu Zhiyuan bitter-smiled, “Are there any old people left in the Dao Palace from that time?”
“The disciples from those years have endured humiliation and suffering for twenty years, and I have already rescued them.”
Xu Yang waved his hand, and a piece of auspicious cloud flew over.
Xu Zhiyuan’s eyes moved slightly, surprised, “The Summoning Clouds technique of the 72 Earth Devils Skill… Xu Yang, is this also your heaven-given divine power?”
“Summoning Clouds is not heaven-given divine power, but something I cultivated myself.”
Xu Yang told the truth.
Summoning Clouds, Communicating with the Netherworld, Turning Stone into Gold…
Xu Zhiyuan asked, “I see that your energy is stable and you have cultivated several divine powers. Why haven’t you tried to break through and condense the Daoist Golden Elixir?”
Xu Yang said, “Minister Wang mentioned that the more Daoist divine powers you cultivate, the stronger the Daoist Golden Elixir you condense and the deeper your mana will be, allowing you to achieve greater things in the future… I’ve only been in the Divine Transcendence Realm for less than a month, and I want to stay in the early stage for a while longer, to sharpen my foundations.”
Xu Zhiyuan nodded and said, “Cultivating Daoism indeed cannot be rushed. If you can cultivate a few more divine powers, it would be a good thing.”
He thought that Xu Yang had only cultivated the Summoning Clouds, Communicating with the Netherworld, and Turning Stone into Gold divine powers.
In the Daoist sect, it was rare to find someone who had cultivated three divine powers in order to condense the Daoist Golden Elixir, but not impossible. Since Xu Yang had this aptitude, cultivating more Daoist divine powers would indeed make him stronger!
What terrifying power would he possess if he could condense a Daoist Golden Elixir with eight or nine divine power talismans?
As for Xu Yang…
He didn’t have much concept about this.
He had only heard that the more divine power talismans one condenses, the stronger the Daoist Golden Elixir would be in the future.
So, he planned to wait until he cultivated eighty or ninety divine powers before considering it.
Whoosh!
Xu Zhiyuan also waved his hand.
From the sky, a mass of dark clouds flew over.
This mass of dark clouds was very similar in shape to the auspicious clouds summoned by Xu Yang, but its aura and color were different.
“Is this… Summoning Clouds?”
Xu Yang was surprised, “Grandpa, you can also use the Summoning Clouds technique?”
Xu Zhiyuan stepped onto the black cloud and laughed, “I was once a Daoist Sage, so isn’t it normal for me to know a few Daoist divine powers? Besides, after my death, I tried to combine the Daoist cultivation methods with the cultivation methods of the underworld and have figured out some things.”
With a flick of his hand, he took out a talisman!
No, not quite!
Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a “Ghost Talisman”, “Ghost Painting Symbol”, or “Yin Symbol”.
Xu Yang was an expert in Daoist talismans and could tell at a glance that this was a “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman”. However, as he looked closely, he realized that this talisman had subtle differences from the Daoist “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman”.
“Can’t recognize it, can you?”
“Hahaha!”
Xu Zhiyuan, seeing his grandson stumped, proudly said, “This is a Yin talisman I modified based on the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman. Its function is similar to the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman, and it has a suppressive effect on Yin spirits and ghosts.”
Xu Yang was shocked.
Ghosts could draw talismans too?
Both the grandfather and grandson, one a human and one a ghost, each controlling an auspicious cloud and a dark cloud, set off from Wu City and flew towards Gan Province.
Soon.
They arrived at Xishan Wanshou Palace.
Upon landing at the foot of Wanshou Palace and seeing the endless stream of pilgrims climbing the stairs, Xu Zhiyuan was filled with mixed emotions and sighed, “The Wanshou Palace today is even more lively than before.”
Just at that moment, a surprised voice came.
“Who are you…?”
“Supreme Sage Xu?”
Among the crowd, an old man with a walking stick spotted Xu Zhiyuan and exclaimed, “Supreme Sage Xu, do you still remember me? My name is Tan Zhongming, and I am from Nanchang…”
“It’s you!”
Xu Zhiyuan apparently recognized the old man too and laughed, “Tan Zhongming, of course I remember you. When we were renovating the Wanshou Palace back then, you donated 200,000 incense money…”
“It’s me!”
The old man said, “I have come to the Wanshou Palace many times over the years to offer incense, but I have never seen you… Supreme Sage Xu, you are truly a Daoist Sage. More than 20 years have passed, and you still look the same as before.”
Xu Yang had not expected that his grandpa would run into an acquaintance at the entrance of Wanshou Palace.
However, upon further thought, it seemed normal.
Back in the day, his grandpa was the sect leader of the Jingming Sect and was in charge of the Xishan Wanshou Palace, which was quite famous. Many people came here to travel and offer incense. For someone like “Tan Zhongming” who donated a large sum of money, it was normal for his grandpa to personally receive them and pray for their blessings.
