Su Dao Xing only absorbed a wisp of aura emitted by the Dao Lian, and his gains were enormous. If he had consumed the entire Dao Lian, it wouldn't have been as simple as just breaking one shackle.

  "The Dao Lian only produces four sprouts in a hundred years, and my master pitied me, letting me use one of them and also giving me another. The Dao Lian not only breaks the first lock for those who eat it but also lays the foundation for their future entry into the Cultivation Realm." Su Daoling's spirit soared as he thought about his own future entry into the Cultivation Realm, with a solid foundation already laid, far surpassing others, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

  "Thank you, Brother Dao Ling, for giving me this Dharma Lotus. This kindness will never be forgotten." Su Dao Xing bowed deeply to Su Dao Ling, took the Dharma Lotus, and swallowed it into his belly.

  Boom!

  Su Dao Xing felt a sound lingering in his ears, a warm and hot energy flowing through his meridians, nourishing his acupoints.

  Buzz! ~

  At the moment Su Dao Xing woke up, he established a connection with the divine statues in the holy temple on Mount Wei and the forbidden holy temple of Wanfo Temple. The Taoist power on his body flowed through the two divine statues at the same time, and an extra layer of Taoist light appeared on the bodies of the two divine statues. Finally, the Taoist light condensed into a talisman on each of the two divine statues.

  On the sacred temple on Mount Wei, a talisman emerged from the body of the deity statue, which is Du, the character for saving the souls of the dead. The character "Du" is not exactly a word, but rather a talisman.

  A talisman on the body of a deity in the holy temple within the forbidden area of Wanfo Temple is spiritual.

  The degree symbol emits a sacred breath, like the breath of a deity.

  The spiritual symbol emitted a suffocating aura of spiritual energy, like the most refined spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

  Su Dao Xing merged with the statue of the sacred temple on Wei Mountain, and the degree symbol on the statue appeared on his arm.

  Su Dao Xing withdrew from the fusion with the divine image on Mount Wei, and merged with the divine image in the holy temple within the forbidden area of Wanfo Temple. The spiritual symbols on the divine image appeared on his other arm.

  When Su Dao Xing broke away from the two divine statues, he looked at the two symbols that appeared on his arm, full of puzzlement.

  Su Daoling couldn't see the two symbols on Su Daoxiao's arm, and looked at Su Daoxiao who was staring at his own arm in a daze, asking: "Daoxiao, it has been half an hour since you took the Dao Lian, have you broken free from your shackles?"

  Su Dao Xing finally reacted, and with a sense of it, he discovered that the thirteenth lock on his body had shattered. He was overjoyed and said to Su Dao Ling: "I have broken the thirteenth lock on my body and officially become the Thirteen Lock Martial King."

  "That's good!" Su Daoling smiled faintly.

  Thirteen-tiered Martial Emperor, that is a powerhouse one level higher than the Small Sect Master-level Martial Emperor. Some Martial Emperors remain at the Small Sect Master level for their entire lives because once they become a Small Sect Master-level Martial Emperor, advancing to the next level is extremely difficult.

  Su Dao Xing found that his perception had increased by more than tenfold. With just a thought, the entire scenery of San Zhen Guan appeared in his mind like a three-dimensional painting, with every detail vividly present. This feeling was truly unparalleled and mysterious, as if another self was overlooking the entire Taoist temple.

  Su Dao Xing suddenly activated his spiritual power, and the spiritual power flowed through his meridians at a speed several times faster than before. He also discovered that since he broke the thirteenth seal on his body, some of the connections between his meridians had formed acupoints, which were likely the hidden dark acupoints within the human body.

  The increase of pulse points, the strength of Wu Wang increases accordingly, and the amount of true energy in the body also increases.

  The changes in the meridians and acupoints made Su Daowu ecstatic.

  Su Dao Xing bowed again to Su Dao Ling, expressing his gratitude.

  Su Dao Ling's eyes gazed deeply at Su Dao Xing, his face solemn as he said: "Dao Xing, do you know why I've been cultivating in the Daoist temple, and in a short period of time became a Master-level Wen Wang, and can further become a strong cultivator in the True Immortal realm?"

  Su Dao Xing had long been curious about Su Dao Ling's experiences, wondering how he became a Zong Shi-level Wen Wang at such a young age. Since it was related to Su Dao Ling's secrets, he didn't dare ask, but now that the other party brought it up, he naturally nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, I want to know what kind of extraordinary experiences Brother Dao Ling had?"

  Su Daoling smiled mysteriously and said, "People laugh at me for not seeing through things, but I laugh at people's ignorance. The Su family members, including my father and Fei Di, initially mocked me for being crazy and going to the Three Truths Temple to cultivate. You should know that once you enter the temple and become a formal Taoist disciple, it means I directly give up all the ancestral property of the Su family and the identity of the Su family's son."

  Su Dao Xing has a certain admiration for Su Dao Ling in this regard. If he were to ask other Su family members to give up what Su Dao Ling was willing to give up, it's likely that none of them would have the courage to do so. He himself is also like this - in order to build a holy temple on Wei Mountain, he sold off all his ancestral property. In this regard, he and Su Dao Ling are similar types of people.

  "What I got was the first three chapters of the Dao Cang, which helped me rise from a minor saint-level Wen Wang to a saint-level Wen Wang, becoming an eighteen-rod Wen Wang and reaching the pinnacle of the Wen Wang realm." As soon as he thought of the "Dao Cang", Su Daoling's face was filled with reverence.

  "The Dao Collection" is an ancient, supreme secret scripture of the Daoist sect, passed down by a Daoist saint. It consists of nine chapters. The first three chapters can elevate a martial king to the pinnacle of the 18th rank. The middle three chapters can assist cultivators in reaching the realm of a cultivation saint. The last three chapters can help a cultivation saint cultivate all the way to the pinnacle in the realm of immortal cultivation.

  "The Taoist Canon" has nine chapters and is one of the three greatest qigong in the world, famous all over the country.

  The first part was collected by the imperial family of Dongtu, and only those who made great contributions to the imperial court could see the imperial collection of "Daozang". As for the second and third parts, they are the untransmitted secrets of the Daoist school. Unless one becomes a disciple of the Daoist school and cuts off all connections with the secular world, one cannot cultivate the second and third parts.

  "You actually obtained the first three chapters of the Dao Cang, no wonder you can become a Zong Shi level Wen Wang in just a few years." Su Dao Xing suddenly realized and admired Su Dao Ling's incredible encounter. Suddenly, he felt a sense of doubt, "Dao Ling brother, are you telling me this because you want me to leave the Su family and join the Dao Gate?"

  Su Dao smiled brightly, his eyes shining with amusement, and pulled out a paper filled with writing from his pocket. He handed it to Su Dao Xing, saying: "This is the first chapter of 'Dao Cang'. I'll give it to you if you agree to one condition."

  "Don't mention one thing, ten things, a hundred things, I'll agree to them all." Su Dao Xing was completely infatuated with the first chapter of "Dao Cang" and would stop at nothing to get it.

  Su Daoling had long guessed that Su Dao Xing would react this way, and he himself was not like that in the past. Without hesitation, he gave up everything in the Su family, entered the Taoist sect, practiced Taoism, and said solemnly: "My ambition is not in the Su family, but if one day, Dao Fei becomes the master of the Su family, Dao Xing, you must not compete with him."

  Su Dao woke up from his contemplation, made a decision and his eyes became even clearer. He had never been interested in the Su family, but rather in becoming a saint. He agreed with one mouthful: "If one day Dao Fei has the hope of becoming the master of the house, I will not compete with him."

  A promise in exchange for the first chapter of "Taoist Canon", priceless, super valuable!

  Su Dao Xing took over the first chapter of "Dao Cang" from Su Dao Ling, as if in a dream, everything that happened today seemed like a dream. He put away the first chapter of "Dao Cang", and waited to return to slowly study it.

  "I'll see you out of the Taoist temple." Su Dao Ling followed Su Dao Xing as he walked out of the temple, and he kept sending him off until they reached the entrance.

  Su Dao Xing and Su Dao Ling bid farewell, took a last look at the San Zhen Guan shrouded in mist, felt a sense of reverence, and left with the four guardians.

  This time, Su Dao Xing came to realize that Su Dao Ling's spiritual realm was far above that of Tang Qian and Yue Tian Wu, those extraordinary individuals. Even Su Dao Lin, who rode a horse, couldn't catch up. Previously, his goal was to surpass Su Dao Lin, but now his target was to far exceed Su Dao Ling.

  Su Dao Xing also understood a truth, Su Dao Lin, Tang Qian, Yue Tian Wu and other famous people on the continent, their names are well-known throughout the land, but there are many talented individuals on the continent, they are the most famous, not necessarily the strongest. People like Su Dao Ling are not in the minority, he himself must not underestimate the heroes of the world, otherwise, he will definitely have a bitter ending.

  On the way back to Yeshu City from Sanzhen Guan, Su Dao Xing felt a strong aura locking onto him. It was an intuition, and he secretly suspected that the person following him was either someone from the Peng family, or someone serving the Evil King, or someone from the Ye family.

  He scratched his head, he had already offended three powerful forces, and didn't know how many more he would offend in the future. Therefore, only by becoming stronger could he protect himself. From now on, he must work even harder to cultivate, striving to become a Grandmaster-level Martial King as soon as possible. Only then would he have the power to protect himself.

  "Gongzi, someone is following us." Su Duan was a minor sect master-level martial king and had detected that someone was secretly following their group from afar.

  Su Dao Xing said in a low voice, "Don't startle the snake by hitting the grass. Let's go back first and then slowly investigate which force is following us and what they want to do."

  Su Dao Xing and the four Guardians returned to Ye Su City and went straight back to their residence.

  Fu Bo leads the unicorn, Wanli horse arrives at the stable.

  Su Dao Xing immediately returned to his own room, closed the door, took out the first chapter of "Dao Cang", studied it several times, found that "Dao Cang" was profound and obscure, so he put away the first chapter of "Dao Cang" and studied it slowly later.

  He gazed at the runes on his two arms.

  Only those who have reached the realm of refining their true self can condense talismans, let alone absorb spiritual energy directly, even a martial king at the level of a sect master cannot do so.

  The difference between a True Immortal Realm cultivator and a Sect Master-level Martial King is only one small boundary, but the difference is like heaven and earth. A single finger of a True Immortal Realm cultivator can kill a Sect Master-level Martial King, showing just how great the gap in strength is between them.

  Whoosh!

  Su Dao Xing unintentionally used his spiritual power to infuse the talisman, and suddenly a bright light emanated from it, as if it had been activated. He stretched out his hand, and a mysterious energy that could purify vengeful spirits radiated from his palm. He muttered to himself, "Could this talisman's purpose be to purify vengeful spirits? If I can simply stretch out my hand and purify them like the statues in the sacred temple on Wei Mountain, then that would be truly wondrous."

  Ye Sucheng didn't have any spirits to experiment on, so he couldn't test whether the talisman could subdue them or not. He would have to wait for an opportunity to encounter a spirit-like existence and then try out the talisman's effect.
