Chapter 163: Retreat, Seeking Help, Avengers Candidates
Night gradually fell, and in the clouds, a bright full moon was half-hidden.
Tang Song closed the thick steel door, activated the Restriction Formation he had set up, and sat cross-legged in the center of the Altar.
Throughout the Manor, among the decorative Rockery and flowers, some Equipment extended outwards, forming arrays of gleaming Optical Focusing Mirrors.
More than a dozen desktop-sized Optical Focusing Mirrors were aimed at the bright moon hanging in the sky. The Moonlight was gathered by these mirrors, transforming into strands of Silver Light that projected onto the Lake Surface.
For a moment, the calm Lake Surface of Tang Manor's Artificial Lake rippled slightly. The bright Moonlight seemed to undulate on the Lake Surface like a silver plate.
In the entire gourd-shaped Artificial Lake, at the mouth of the gourd, the silver Moonlight undulated like a giant silver ball, flowing into the Lake Bottom along with the Lake Water. The silver Moonlight in the Lake Water gradually transformed into faint cyan Moonlight Essence as it flowed. Inside the Lake Water, some Koi Carp seemed to sense an Earthquake coming, swimming in panic from the Lake into the Manor's Waterway.
Deep in the Lake Bottom, the originally still, grotesque White Bone Skeletons began to move, floating to the Lake Surface, greedily swallowing the scattered Moonlight Essence in the Lake Water.
And more Moonlight Essence surged into the area beneath the stone pavilion along with the Lake Water, entering the Secret Room at the Lake Bottom through the four feet of the dragon turtle carrying the stele...
The thirty-six Fortune Longevity Golden Coffins on the Altar opened wide.
Thirty-six shimmering Body-Protecting Silver Armored Corpses faced the sky above, assuming the posture of Sky Corpse Worshipping Moon, swallowing and absorbing the purest Lunar Yin Essence! In the very center of the Altar, Tang Song sat cross-legged on the Green Jade Cushion, holding the Ghoul White Bone Banner in his left hand, and forming a Sword Finger with his right. A Sword Shadow, almost tangible, appeared. With strands of pure white Sword Essence circulating, Tang Song was carving intricate Spirit Marks onto the Banner Body of the Ghoul White Bone Banner.
The Banner Pole of the White Bone Banner, as thick as an index finger, was warm and smooth like jade, yet hard as iron.
Tang Song's Sword Finger moved, rapidly cutting and carving the White Bone Banner Pole, quickly leaving behind dense, ant-bite-like marks on its surface.
Soon, having finished carving a White Bone Banner, Tang Song placed it three feet in front of him and began circulating the Heavenly River True Essence within his body. Slowly, after an unknown number of cycles,
The dense Spirit Marks on the White Bone Banner Pole lit up, and strands of viscous, reddish, translucent gas emerged from the Banner Body.
This was the purest Vital energy and Blood power accumulated by the Ghoul White Bone Banner from devouring hundreds and thousands of living beings and Demons.
The Ghoul White Bone Banner was like a White Bone grinding mill composed of dozens of Restriction Formations and thousands of Spirit Marks.
Living beings swallowed into the Banner would have their flesh and blood, Vital energy and Blood, and soul crushed and devoured.
Their bone and flesh and blood would turn into nourishment within the White Bone Banner, and their souls would nourish the Ghost God within the White Bone Banner.
But as the grinding mill turned, grinding nine times, the purest Vital energy and Blood power left behind was comparable to some Great Medicine for Vital energy and Blood.
Strands of Vital energy and Blood power began to surge from within the White Bone Banner into Tang Song's body.
Strands of Vital energy and Blood were continuously absorbed, absorbed, absorbed by Tang Song, entering his four limbs and hundred bones, strengthening his tendons, bone, and Vital energy and Blood...
Tang Song formed his hands into a lotus flower shape, his ten fingers rapidly moving. Dazzling silver light formed complex Talismans in the air, which rapidly imprinted onto the acupoints all over his body!
Tang Song was performing a technique from the Daoist Sects that used external force to stimulate the physical body.
Among the Buddhist and Daoist schools, Buddhism has the Impervious Golden Body, and Daoism also has Golden Tendons and Jade Bones! Both are methods for cultivating the physical body. Both schools also have their Demon-Subduing Arhats and Xuanmen Protectors.
But generally speaking, most people in both Buddhist and Daoist schools primarily focused on cultivating techniques.
Tempering the physical body and cultivating both techniques and martial arts simultaneously was rare even on the Yanfu Continent.
It was precisely because of this that the concept of achieving sainthood through the physical body was considered so precious.
However, the true inheritance disciples of both Buddhist and Daoist schools naturally had their own ways to compensate for the deficiencies of their physical body.
Buddhism had Bodhi Ghee (a type of spiritual medicine), which was said to be brewed from three thousand Great Medicine, and even included the powdered golden bodies of enlightened Buddhist monks.
It was said that by applying Bodhi Ghee to the entire body daily, one could achieve a physical body capable of subduing a Flood Dragon in just sixty years, no less than a Demon Cultivator of the same level.
Although Daoism did not have as many golden body relics from reincarnated eminent monks as Buddhism, the Golden Tendon Pills and Jade Bone Pills of the Grand Supreme Dao De Sect were equally effective as Buddhism's Bodhi Ghee.
The method Tang Song was using was inherited from the Grand Supreme Dao De Sect. This method could stimulate the physical body's acupoints and absorb the effects of Golden Tendon Pills and Jade Bone Pills.
Although Tang Song did not have Golden Tendon Pills or Jade Bone Pills available, the human body itself contains Great Medicine, and the Vital energy and Blood power extracted from the Ghoul White Bone Banner after devouring countless living beings was no less effective than Golden Tendon Pills and Jade Bone Pills.
The person who originally created this method was a Nascent Divinity Great Cultivator from the Demonic Sect, who was also a genius in Daoist techniques.
Daoist schools often said that the human body contains Great Medicine, which was meant to encourage people to tap into their own potential. This person, however, took a wrong turn and treated people as medicine to refine.
In the end, he actually managed to figure something out, which was this kind of Vital energy and Blood power.
In the time of the Ancient Heavenly Court, he would devour mortals and cultivators from entire nations at will.
He was even more ferocious than some Demon Kings and Great Demons, truly a monstrous figure of his time.
At the Nascent Divinity stage, his physical body was comparable to a Pure Yang Demon Cultivator, making him invincible at the same level and even capable of challenging Pure Yang True Immortals of a higher level.
Later, when his Nascent Divinity underwent Yang transformation and he attempted to use heavenly lightning to temper his Nascent Divinity, he was directly struck by the Five Thunders of the Nine Heavens Responding Yuan Puhua Heavenly Lord, scattering his soul.
This kind of method, considered taboo, had long been lost even on the Yanfu Continent. Tang Song found this method in his Root Source Imprint.
One Banner, two Banners, three Banners, four Banners...
Four Ghoul White Bone Banners, containing the purest Vital energy and Blood power of tens of thousands of people, transformed into strands of reddish, translucent gas that completely surrounded Tang Song.
Soon, they formed a cocoon around him, looking like reddish amber!
...
"It's been three days already! Boss still hasn't come out of retreat!?"
