Divine Descent Technique, Zhang Yan's most powerful skill to this point in his practice, and the most versatile technique that can cope with various situations. Although it has the word "shu", it is not a method of practicing martial arts, but a method of Shinto.
"Invite" a certain god in your imagination, and briefly borrow the power from it to fight against the enemy.
The difference lies in the cultivation level of the monk who performs this technique. The higher your cultivation level, the more powerful gods you can invite, and you can also receive more power from gods, and vice versa.
Zhang Yan only has the cultivation level of the late Qi-entraining realm, and the only ones he can call upon are the lowest "magic weapons" or "celestial weapons."
But even if it is the lowest "god" that the divine descending technique can invite, for Zhang Yan, the power gap is still between an ant and an elephant, and he can only receive a very small part of the power when he is moved.
But the result is also very clear. Although Zhang Yan only received a small part of the power of the heavenly soldiers, it was enough for him to crush the five fierce ghosts in all directions with the cooperation of Wan Xiangzhu.
Afterwards, he continued to use the power obtained from the Divine Descendance Technique to promote the "Beidou Great God Curse", which was naturally several times more effective than when Zhang Yan faced the first evil ghost. It also made him appear to be able to transcend five evil ghosts at once with ease.
"The Curse of the Great Beidou God" is followed by "The Great Sutra of Revealing Wrong and Redressing Wrongful Deeds", with one strong and one slow, coupled with the continuous roasting caused by the Divine Subjugation Technique to the five evil ghosts, the final salvation becomes a matter of course. .
In fact, salvation is not a matter of "do you want it or not" for the ghost, and there is no saying of "persuading you to return to heaven and earth". From the beginning, it is a unilateral salvation, which cleanses the obsession and hostility in the ghost and returns the soul to heaven and earth. It comes naturally. Therefore, there are only "ghosts that cannot be saved" and there are no "ghosts that cannot be saved".
After that, Zhang Yan didn't wait to receive the merits from the Desolate Heaven Realm. He turned around and jumped into the dry well while he still had the magic of divine subjugation. There is not much space in the well, and there are no underground passages or underground river holes. The diameter of the well is less than one foot. Not to mention that a few more fierce ghosts jumped out to add to Zhang Yan's gains.
But after some searching, Zhang Yan still found something very special, or a special "mark" in the dry well.
It looks like a ball of flame, and somewhat like a vertical eye. The description is not regular, but it is very clear. Zhang Yan can feel the scratches on it and the residual evil atmosphere by touching it with his hand. It is definitely not a natural formation. It is speculated that it was the work of the five evil ghosts before.
But what does this symbol mean?
Zhang Yan didn't make random guesses, he just remembered the symbol in his mind and left the alley.
As soon as I walked out of the alley, I saw a water team pushing a water tanker hurriedly into the alley to put out the fire. Zhang Yan got out of the way, but he knew in his heart that it was too late for these people to rush over. There was not much left of the ghost willow under the burning of the spiritual fire, and it was impossible for him to survive again. Moreover, spiritual fire will not scatter and burn like ordinary flames. Ordinary objects will not let them continue to burn, so they will not cause fires.
He found a nearby inn to stay at. Zhang Yan didn't even have time to put away the baggage on his back before he collapsed on the ground with his legs weak. His face was not only pale, but also sweating profusely.
Things in this world are about a balance. If you take more here, they will get less.
So is strength.
The path of cultivation, whether it is martial arts, martial arts, or Shinto, there is no shortcut that can be achieved overnight. It all requires a long period of accumulation to gradually increase strength.
Even if they are evil, they are not as quick as they seem on the surface. Their price is just to hide in the dark or pass it on to others in a despicable manner. As a result, they often become the source of disaster and are ostracized or even eliminated.
Zhang Yannai is an upright and upright cultivator, and he has inherited the glorious legacy of Longhu Mountain Gate. He follows the righteous path and only takes what is straight and does not seek what is wrong.
So Zhang Yan feels very uncomfortable now. Now it's time for him to pay the price for the divine descending technique.
What Zhang Yan feels now is "weakness", "powerlessness" and "dizziness". It seemed like physical injuries, but in fact it was far more than these uncomfortable feelings. These were just the side effects of Zhang Yan paying the price.
Life span. This Tianding is now also the price to be paid for performing the divine magic.
Otherwise, do you think you can easily summon divine power after just a few days of discomfort? Pie in the sky never happens.
The threshold for use is low and the effect is outstanding, but the cost is extremely high. This is the method of Shinto's "divine magic".
Zhang Yan is now limited in his cultivation. He cannot accurately perceive how many years of his life have been wiped out by being possessed by the divine power of the heavenly soldiers, but he can still vaguely sense it.
"It seems like more than two years and less than three years."
Zhang Yan stood up slowly, and with great effort moved himself to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and began to calculate the gains and losses of the day.
In the past, losing more than two years of life would have been an exchange that Zhang Yan would never make unless absolutely necessary. But now, these two years of life have not made him feel too depressed.
First of all, Zhang Yan is only in his early twenties now, so he has no pressure to pay for his two years of life.
Secondly, although a huge price was paid this time, the harvest was also huge. He saved five fierce ghosts, so the merits must be huge, and this means that Zhang Yan can enter the next step after the Qi-entraining realm faster. A big realm. At that time, he will be able to open another major auxiliary path of Taoism: Alchemy Dao.
There are records in Longhu Mountain that many of the elixirs are mainly aimed at increasing the acquisition of spiritual energy, shortening the accumulation time of practice, and increasing longevity. The two years of life lost now can be completely replenished with elixirs.
As for the difficulty of the alchemy path, Zhang Yan is not too worried, because he has the Wanxiang Pearl in hand. When the time comes, a better alchemy furnace will come out as an assistant, and he will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort. As long as he doesn't pursue the ultimate elixir or the like, a pill that can extend his life by two or three years is not a problem for him.
What's more, the growth of cultivation is accompanied by the increase of life span. It's hard to say whether Zhang Yan will gain or lose every time he comes in and out.
After the various discomforts in the body due to the shortened life span gradually subsided, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, and began to use the "Returning Qi Method" to enter the state of practice. At the same time, he also wanted to accept that he had spent a lot of time this time. Merit gained after paying a price.
There was no surprise. After Zhang Yan activated the "Returning Qi Method" and connected Zhou Tian with the outside world, the golden splendor like before entered his body along with the spiritual energy breathed out, and followed Zhou Tian. The sky finally merged into the cyclone in lower Dantian.
There are five golden brilliance in total, with different weights. But as these golden brilliance began to blend gently into the cyclone, the smile on Zhang Yan's face gradually became wilder. In the end, if it wasn't for the need to run the technique and not be distracted, he would have wanted to throw his head back and laugh wildly.
