Chapter 449: Chapter 82 Half-Dragon Demon Shedding, The Three Prohibitions Will Be Achieved (9200, count it as a four-in-one)_5

At that moment, he felt the Blood Fiend within him growing stronger, and his heart beating more powerfully. Spiritual power gathered here, gradually forming a hub.

"With this, I can also bring forward the ’Bright Mirror Heart’ in Martial Arts!"

Having examined his inner self with the Son of Heaven Method, An Jing realized that his progress in cultivating the Divine Abnormality was considerable.

Though Martial Arts and cultivation of immortality are two different systems, An Jing ultimately has one body; strengthening one aspect benefited the other—though this was also because An Jing had the Demon Supplementary Pill as a bonus. However, for a true genius, it should be correct to cultivate both.

Standing up, An Jing felt his strength had improved; his Spiritual Perception could follow along his Taibai Fiend Qi or Blood Fiend and spread out. In other words, like those strange tales where leaving a drop of blood could monitor an area, or a simple touch on the shoulder could lock onto a person for a decade, he could now manage these feats at will.

This too was why the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban is considered a divine cultivation technique among Immortal Divine Skills—the other skills required specifically learning different ’Skills’ like ’Blood Thought Skills’ and ’Qi Sensing Skills’ to achieve these effects.

But for divine immortal cultivation techniques at the level of entering the Dao or even becoming realized, these ’Skills’ are merely instinct, and ’Artifacts’ are simply a natural result of deeper cultivation.

This illustrates the importance of higher-level cultivation techniques.

"Although this Demon Shedding is troublesome, if I can eliminate it, it will be a super Supplemental Pill!"

Gathering his gains, An Jing further solidified his resolution to eradicate the Great Demon Spirits in the Primordial Spirit Cave—even without the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus, just eliminating these demons and acquiring the Xuanyuan Pure Light could perhaps allow An Jing to advance his Taibai Luminous Godly Ban to the seventh or eighth prohibition, maybe even reach Perfection.

Next, An Jing needed to plan for the remaining three Demon Sheddings.

"First, I should lure out the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding on its own—but it being of half-dragon lineage, is not very afraid of thunder."

Thinking this, An Jing still ordered two Thunder Talismans in Special City using the Water Mirror; if they couldn’t handle the half-dragon, they could still be used against the other two demon sheddings: "Besides, its body also seems stronger, is there any specific gear for dealing with the dragon type?"

An Jing searched in the Tianyuan Realm Spiritual Network, and indeed there were some, but they were incredibly expensive, starting from ten thousand Good Deeds, prompting him to close the page: "If I had seventy or eighty thousand Good Deeds would I need to come here to buy Dragon-Slaying Needles? Can’t I just buy a magical artifact and use Five Soldiers True Thunder to blast them?"

"Plus, Dragon-Slaying Needles need to be hit on the dragon spine to be most effective, truly ridiculous, if I could do that then switching to other artifacts I could pummel the dragon thoroughly."

"Hmm... looks like I need to ask someone more familiar with this area."

With this thought, after receiving the supplemented Thunder Talismans and seeing Huo Qing had not yet returned, An Jing simply headed directly back to Embracing the Void Realm.

The sooner he returned, the sooner he could cool off, what’s more, those who truly understood materials against dragons were probably dragons themselves.

Embracing the Void Realm, Broken Blade Peak.

The Demon Shedding that An Jing had exterminated had vanished; where its corpse had been was now a pool of pitch-black Poisonous Fiend. The other three demons were still inside the Primordial Spirit Cave, and had not stayed to ambush An Jing in the area he left.

An Jing even specifically shifted his travel by a mile, only to find this precaution unnecessary; shaking his head slightly, he then decided to return to Linjiang City to rest first.

"Ruohui, Ruohui, do you have time?"

And on the way back to the city, An Jing, through his Emperor’s Blood, asked You Ruhui on the other side: "Do you know any Dragon-Slaying magical instruments, or any clever tricks for dealing with dragons?"

Because his cultivation of Seven Souls had succeeded, his Divine Sense more fluid and clear, You Ruhui on the other end should be able to receive it very quickly.

"Have you progressed again? No, wait, An Jing what are you doing?!"

After a while, a response came, and hearing You Ruhui’s voice, she seemed shocked, exclaimed: "I’m in the Ancestral Dragon Hall, why are you asking me this? A dragon just greeted me, you almost scared me to death!"

"Oh, I have a Half-Dragon Demon Shedding here..."

An Jing explained the situation of the Heartless Demon Shedding and Broken Blade Mountain to You Ruhui, immediately relieving her: [Thank heavens, I thought you were going to take action against the dragons, it would have been hard for Jin to be a dragon, and hard for me to be human.]

[Half-dragon.., incorporates both metal and poison, your Metal Thunder will hardly be effective... wait a moment, let me help you ask around.]

"Then I’ll wait, but be careful yourself, that’s the Ancestral Dragon Hall, asking about this topic is a bit dangerous," An Jing reminded.

[You only know now huh?] You Ruhui replied with annoyance: [Just say thanks! What kind of person are you, making others do such difficult things...]

"Then, thank you very much!"

An Jing naturally had plenty of patience, and just before he returned to Linjiang City, he was unaware of how You Ruhui had managed it, but he had indeed procured a method to counter the metallic white dragon for An Jing: [Jin’s own bloodline leans towards the white dragon; she said she fears ’Gold-Melting Flame’ the most, and the key to melting gold lies in ’first burning wood, then melting gold.’]

[With fire burning wood, the fire becomes strong and vigorous, capable of melting gold and dissolving iron...a pure fire generally has an average effect, especially now during the Frost Calamity, when the spiritual ambiance is ’cold yin suppressing yang,’ fire dwindles and yang falls. An Jing, with your strength inferior to that demon shedding, relying on your fire of Mars Blood Fiend to break its protective gang qi will be very difficult, especially since the dragon race’s protective gang qi is extremely tough, and so is that of the half-dragon.]

[Therefore, it’s necessary to borrow the qi of wood, to boost the fire to extreme vigor, which can then transform into the Gold-Melting Flame.]

"This..."

When An Jing heard this idea, he suddenly had some clues, "So, if I have wooden thunder and fire thunder talismans, and use them together, could I achieve a similar effect?"

[Probably] You Ruhui was also not entirely sure: [Jin has now mastered the Five Weapons Thunder Method and is no longer afraid of this kind of elemental restraint. I told her about you encountering the half-dragon demon, and that’s when she dug deep to recall a challenge she had once faced herself.]

[In any case, just give it a try. I’ve already organized the data on the True Dragon Spine, and I’ll be able to send it to you after some time. Then, with your wisdom, perhaps you might perceive the weak point of this half-dragon demon shedding?]

"Okay, thanks a lot."

An Jing felt reassured in his heart. After chatting with You Ruhui about his recent cultivation, he then ended their communication and returned to Linjiang City.

Overlooking the spirit plant warehouse of Linjiang City, An Jing pondered, "Wood qi... If I use the Blood Fiend to burn through some low-quality spirit plants’ wood qi, perhaps I could accumulate a large batch of Blood Fiend in a short time."

"If I then add the power of the Civil and Military Roulette’s Earth Vein to it, and supplement it with the thunder talisman, perhaps I could directly and successfully kill that half-dragon demon shedding."

"After killing that half-dragon demon shedding, the remaining two would be trivial; setting up traps, I could take care of them simultaneously."

The only problem was, did he really need to consume so much spirit plant?

Although An Jing had long since earned back the money he spent on fertilizers, the remaining spirit plants harvested in this way also constituted Linjiang City’s reserves, which could be used to develop civic life and refine dragon qi, the real harvest he needed.

However, Subdue Evil came up with a good idea.

"Why don’t you ask the ’Broken Blade Mountain Groves’?"

Subdue Evil suggested, "The entire Broken Blade Mountain Forest is likely a great demon spirit—if it were my era, I would never think this, because plant demon spirits develop intelligence very slowly."

"But in this era of Fate Pattern, if it has become a great demon spirit, it must possess both Fate Pattern and spiritual wisdom; discuss the demon issue with it and see if it can help you?"

"Also, that Immaculate Wood, able to nurture the Sword Lotus, must also be a demon spirit—perhaps not so obvious, but it definitely has intelligence, otherwise, it couldn’t contend with those demon sheddings."

"Indeed!" Seeing Subdue Evil, who was more experienced and had broader ideas than An Jing, his eyes lit up: "In that case, after the Great Void Passage cools down tomorrow, I’ll give it a try."

As for today, without the Great Void Passage, An Jing naturally would be a bit more cautious, choosing to rest for a day to avoid any mishaps when escape might be impossible.

However, An Jing did not have time to rest.

For he had just entered the city when he saw Xu Tai, who had been waiting for him, greeting him.

"Lord An!"

The strapping man greeted An Jing with a proper bow, handing over two letters before methodically saying, "Here is your message; please look it over."

—Why so solemn today?

An Jing curiously eyed Xu Tai, who stood rigid and whose facial scars even seemed smoother, wondering to himself, "What sort of message could this be? Could it be from the Divine Repository True Person, or a decree from the Da Chen authorities?"

He wasn’t wrong—in fact, it was even higher.

After opening the envelope, even An Jing was momentarily stunned, then he exhaled and said a bit complicatedly yet reassuringly, "Good grief. It’s finally here."

It was no wonder An Jing’s emotions were complex.

For the first letter was from the Bright Mirror Sect, his master’s master, the Manifesting Holy True Person Chenyinzi.

And the second letter was from the authorities of Da Chen... the Town King of the Northern Border, His Highness the Virtuous King.
