Chapter 006: Great Sun Formless Sword Qi

The Daoists in this temple should be adept at alchemy.

Thus, they sold the elixirs they refined, and other Daoists would come here, trading demon inner cores for the elixirs they needed.

Of course, it didn't have to be demon inner cores; they could also be exchanged for rare medicinal herbs or other things.

As for why the temple was built underground,

Wang Bo suspected it had to do with fire.

Alchemy cannot do without fire, and beneath the furnace in the rear courtyard was a vein of earthfire. Relying on this earthfire, the Daoists could achieve twice the results with half the effort.

So they built a temple here, trading elixirs refined with earthfire with other Daoists.

Such was Wang Bo's speculation.

Even if not entirely correct, it wouldn't be far off.

Taking advantage of the old Daoist's transaction with the temple's Daoists, Wang Bo concealed his form and roamed freely through the temple. Before long, he arrived at the temple's Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

The Dharma Transmission Pavilion was essentially a library, housing a large collection of Daoist scriptures and techniques.

Around the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, there were formations and protective barriers, with guards inside. Without the proper incantation, ordinary people couldn't break in, but this didn't trouble Wang Bo.

Wang Bo had gained considerable harvests in the Mummy World, especially the Oracle Bone Scripture, which recorded many Daoist techniques, greatly enhancing his understanding of Daoist arts.

Ordinary formations and barriers couldn't stop Wang Bo.

He passed through the barrier and crossed the formation without a sound, appearing inside the Dharma Transmission Pavilion. He knocked out the Daoist guarding it and began flipping through scrolls of Daoist techniques.

Wang Bo's eyesight and memory were now far beyond ordinary. Picking up a Daoist technique, he flipped through it with a rustle, employing what he called the quantum reading method. In just over ten seconds, he memorized the contents of a book.

He could even write it out verbatim.

With such speed, Wang Bo soon finished reading all the Daoist scriptures in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

These techniques ranged from profound to shallow, orthodox to heretical, complete to fragmentary, and included many alchemical methods.

Feeling he had gained a great deal, Wang Bo turned to leave.

But before leaving, as a token of gratitude, Wang Bo left behind several scrolls of techniques, including the Dragon Strength Mountain Moving Scripture from the Mummy World and the Great Yin True Art from the White Snake World.

The Dragon Strength Mountain Moving Scripture was somewhat flawed, but the Great Yin True Art was indeed a technique that directly pointed to ascension.

In the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, only two or three techniques could rival the Great Yin True Art.

Leaving the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, Wang Bo returned to the front courtyard, just as the old Daoist had finished exchanging elixirs and was coming out of the building, intending to leave the temple.

Wang Bo silently followed behind him, all the way back to the surface.

The thin Daoist said, "Master, should we go back now and deal with that Wang..."

The old Daoist shook his head and said, "Let's find a place to stay first, digest these elixirs, and then act. There's no hurry."

The thin Daoist had no choice but to agree.

The three found an inn to stay at. The old Daoist had his two disciples protect him as he swallowed a pill and began to circulate his energy to digest it, enhancing his magical power.

Meanwhile, Wang Bo also returned to his residence and began to digest the gains from this trip.

The underground Daoist temple had collected many Daoist techniques, among which the one that left the deepest impression on Wang Bo was a technique called Pure Yang True Method. This technique could absorb the essence of the sun, and the magical power cultivated from it was supremely strong and yang, immune to all evils.

Coincidentally, Wang Bo's Solar Divine Art was also like this.

Wang Bo compared the two and was overjoyed. He once again revised his Solar Divine Art, incorporating the strengths of the Pure Yang True Method into it.

As a result, the solar true qi that Wang Bo cultivated became even more powerful.

Every strand of solar true qi was like a ray of sunlight; when thousands of strands gathered together, it was like a blazing solar fire, vast, broad, supremely strong and yang, capable of incinerating all things.

And with his revision, every cell in his body could store solar true qi.

Nourished by the solar true qi, the cells grew stronger. And with stronger cells, Wang Bo's steel body became even more powerful, forming a virtuous cycle.

Incidentally, the Pure Yang True Method was a technique no less than the Great Yin True Art, one that could directly lead to ascension.

Besides this technique, Wang Bo also acquired two other techniques from the Dharma Transmission Pavilion that were no less than the Pure Yang True Method: the Feather Transformation Immortal Scripture and the Heavenly Passage Treasure.

Although these two techniques were not inferior to the Pure Yang True Method, they were not as helpful to Wang Bo.

The magical power cultivated from the Feather Transformation Immortal Scripture was as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was continuous and unending. After mastering this technique, one's speed was as fast as an immortal, able to traverse the five lakes and four seas in an instant.

Even if it could not compare to the Cloud Somersault, which covered one hundred and eight thousand li in a single somersault, covering a thousand li in the snap of a finger was nothing.

As for the Heavenly Passage Treasure, although its magical power was not as immune to all evils as the Pure Yang True Method, nor as fast as an immortal as the Feather Transformation Immortal Scripture, the magical power cultivated from this technique was pure and vast, capable of reaching straight to heaven.

What impressed Wang Bo even more was the technique's use of magical power; it might not be a thousand changes, but it was certainly versatile.

After reading it, Wang Bo could not help but show his delight.

After reading these three techniques, looking at the others made them seem inferior by comparison. But even so, Wang Bo still studied them carefully, extracting many advantages from the other techniques and incorporating them into his Solar Divine Art.

In addition, Wang Bo also learned many spells, enriching his means of dealing with enemies.

It could be said that the old Daoist and his disciples were his lucky stars. Wang Bo had befriended many demon hunters, but few had given him such great gains.

Two weeks later, Wang Bo finally fully digested his gains. The true qi cultivated from the Solar Divine Art was vast and mighty, each strand condensed to an incredible degree, possessing both the wonders of magic and martial arts.

It could both drive true qi to cast spells and drive true qi to execute martial arts.

Wang Bo even took one of the ultimate techniques of the Nine Yang Divine Art, the Nine Yang Divine Sword, as the core, and integrated many spells into it, thereby creating a marvelous ultimate technique that could be used both as a spell and as a martial art—a crystallization of the unity of magic and martial arts.

This ultimate technique was named by Wang Bo...

Great Sun Formless Sword Qi!

Well, Wang Bo admitted the name was not great, but the name did not matter; what mattered was that this ultimate technique had endless wonders, and Wang Bo was very satisfied with it.

Unfortunately, there was no great demon king around for Wang Bo to test his Great Sun Formless Sword Qi and see just how powerful it was.
