Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1059: Chapter 645: Immortal Spirit_2

This is important—why was Xu Yang able to so easily defeat Shi Pi, the Demon Spirit Hero?

First, it was his own strength; the Five Colors Divine Light was fierce and not inferior to the Asura Demon Body.

Second, there were various enhancements—the power of the Taoist Field, the power of the Taoist Soldier, and the Ritual Laws.

Both the former and the latter were key. If it was a home-field advantage, the Taoism Ritual enhancement, relying solely on Xu Yang’s own abilities to cast the Five Colors Divine Light, though there was still hope to take down Shi Pi, it definitely would not have been this easy.

This was a home-field advantage!

But this home-field advantage also depended on the home field—unless he could become an Immortal God Lord, taking the entire domain and whole world to attack, it would be difficult to always have the advantage of the home field.

At this time, one needed to compensate from other areas—weapons and equipment, troop heroes, strive to level the opponent, strengthen oneself.

As an Immortal Spirit mount, this Ink Jade Qilin possessed a very strong enhancement effect, especially for Xu Yang, the Daoist Celestial Master. One Ink Jade Qilin may not equal a hundred thousand Mingxiao Taoists, but standing in for thirty or forty thousand should not be a problem.

Xu Yang just so happened to lack a mount—his previous Wind-Roaring Red Rabbit Horse had already fallen behind and he had dismissed it to Lv Qiling. Now, by substituting it with the Ink Jade Qilin, it was like being sent a pillow when drowsy.

Now, look at the second reward.

Dharma Protector Golden Whip

When wielded, it instills fear in all evil beings and offers a damage increase of 2000% against all Demon-types and malevolent entities).

Equipment Special Skill: Spirit Officer Divine Decree (This treasure, an ancient Divine Weapon, though damaged in great battles, still retains a fraction of its Divine Power. It can temporarily transform oneself into a Spiritual Official Divine General of the Heavenly Court, increasing Physical Strength by 300%, Intelligence by 200%, Mana by 1000%, with a maximum Breakthrough Attribute increase of +200, immune to 100% damage from Demons and malevolent entities, lasting for 300 seconds, with a cooldown of 365 days).

Equipment Special Skill: Protecting the Path (As a Spiritual Official, even sacrificing one’s life for justice is not too high a price to pay. To boost the Dharma Protector Golden Whip’s power with an infinite Mana increase, every 10000 points of Mana boosts its power by 1%, reaching a maximum of 100% after which, the Spiritual Official and the Dharma Protector Golden Whip will enter “Protecting the Path” status, enhancing the Mana increase effect tenfold, but the consumed Mana will be permanently reduced, and every 1000 points of Mana consumed will also reduce the Spiritual Official’s Intelligence by 1 point and cause certain damage to the Dharma Protector Golden Whip).

Equipment Introduction: An ancient Magical Treasure of the Heavenly Court, made for the use of Spiritual Officials. Though damaged in great battles, it still possesses considerable lingering Divine Power, not to be wielded by non-Divine beings.

…

Immortal Spirit Weapon, Dharma Protector Golden Whip!

A base damage attribute of 1300 bludgeoning, 1500 fire, 1800 lightning—which merely grazing would lead to death, and a touch to injury—is an understatement. Not to mention the huge attribute boosts and Mana growth.

Combined with the “Dharma Protector Golden Whip” effect, it multiplies the damage tenfold against Demons and Ghosts, Evil Spirits—truly a Divine Artifact for exorcising evil. In battling the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, it will surely shine brilliantly.

Even not against Demons and Ghosts, this is still an extremely formidable Immortal Spirit Weapon. It also features “Spirit Officer Divine Decree” and “Protecting the Path”—two explosive Special Skills—rendering it feared by peers across the Immortal-Demon spectrum.

Xu Yang currently doesn’t own an Immortal Spirit Weapon, so without giving it much thought, this Dharma Protector Golden Whip would belong to him by default, complemented by the Heavenly Sword—both Spiritual and Divine, both whip and sword, enhance one another beautifully.

As for the Unrivaled Heavenly Halberd… it had been dismissed along with the Red Rabbit Horse and the Lubu Set to Lv Qiling.

There was no way around it, a Mage’s advantages are just that apparent. Although his Martial Arts and Battle Fight were also strong, more often his Cultivating Skills Divine Magic were even more adept.

Three Immortal Spirit rewards—one mount, one weapon, and one Hero Contract still remaining.

Xu Yang wasted no time and chose to use it straight away.

For an Immortal Spirit Hero, he still held some expectations.

Even if, as a Demon Spirit Hero of the same rank, Shi Pi’s performance just now wasn’t stellar, it was because Xu Yang was too strong, not because Demon Spirit Heroes or Immortal Spirit Heroes were too weak.

Just the opposite, able to directly confront and fight such a “wall-hanging” figure in spite of having absolutely no advantage according to time, place, or favor, and even managing to harm numerous followers of Mingxiao Tao in the process, highlighted even more the formidable strength of his demon spirit hero.

Thus…

“Boom!!!”

With the use of the contract, the void shattered and a ray of golden light appeared, revealing myriad vistas; it was none other than the Six Paths of Reincarnation, with Hell Demons struggling in pain, in addition to the sound of Buddhist chanting, the compassionate salvation of all beings, and Buddha’s light illuminating the Hell World. Seated amidst it all was a man, brimming with great compassion and great sageliness.

“You’ve recruited the Immortal Spirit Hero—Jin Qiaoju!”

Following the notification, the Hell Demons, the Buddhist chanting, and all the fleeting illusions dispersed, leaving just one figure standing before Xu Yang.

It was a young monk clad in black, seemingly youthful, no more than twenty in age. With no remarkable features and an ordinary demeanor, he looked as plain as a novice sweeping the temple floor.

“Amitabha!”

He stepped forward as though passing through time and space to arrive before Xu Yang, offering a Buddhist salute: “Greetings to my Taoist friend!”

“…”

Xu Yang fell silent for a moment, then reacted by reaching out an empty hand to help the other up: “Bodhisattva, please rise. I am not worthy of such a grand gesture.”

“You are too modest, Taoist friend!”

The monk smiled, his gaze wandering to the surroundings, where bloodshed marked a field marred by the toll of battle, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh, murmuring somberly: “Why should the innocent suffer such demonic catastrophe?”

After saying this, he turned to Xu Yang, speaking with gravity: “Please allow this monk to deliver salvation to the departed souls.”

Xu Yang nodded and stepped aside: “Bodhisattva, I graciously thank you for your efforts.”

“It is my duty.”

The monk pressed his hands together and took a seat right there, beginning to chant a Buddhist scripture—the Rebirth Mantra.

Xu Yang, standing beside, remained silent, quietly waiting.
