Chapter 55: Returning to the Scripture Pavilion

Chapter 55: Returning to the Scripture Pavilion

After experiencing the effects of cultivation, Zhang Yuhe felt extremely satisfied with this Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

He didn't know where Zhao Mingyue had managed to acquire such a miraculous Formation.

The Dao Saint Sect probably did not have a similar Formation that could accelerate cultivation.

There were rumors that this woman, Zhao Mingyue, seemed to have encountered some special fortuitous encounters.

That Divine Ability of hers to transform into a myriad of forms was obtained from one of those fortuitous encounters.

This Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array was perhaps acquired by Zhao Mingyue together with that Divine Ability.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

It felt as if their Dao Saint Sect was a group of villains who had committed countless evils.

Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyue, the leader of the Demon God Cult, truly possessed the demeanor of a protagonist.

Zhao Mingyue came from a small Family, and after her Family was destroyed, she embarked on the path of a Loose Cultivator.

From then on, this woman seemed to have hacked the system; continuous fortuitous encounters kept coming, and her cultivation realm experienced rapid Breakthroughs.

Not only that, but Zhao Mingyue was like an unkillable cockroach.

Starting from scratch, she founded the Demon God Cult, single-handedly fighting against the Dao Saint Sect, which had dominated Yu Fantian for over a million years.

To think she still hasn't been beaten to death to this day is truly a bit incredible.

Isn't this the textbook definition of a protagonist?

Zhang Yuhe felt that in the future, he should try to stay as far away from this woman as possible.

Unless he could beat her to death directly.

Otherwise, it would be best if he didn't even hear any news about Zhao Mingyue.

…

"Return to the Sect first."

Zhang Yuhe walked out of the secret room, his figure turning into a stream of light as he flew rapidly toward the direction of the teleportation array.

Previously, after resolving Jingkong's problem, Lu Mingfang had allocated five hundred merit points to him as a reward for his involvement in this matter.

Five hundred merits were not a small amount.

Without any special events, relying solely on the Sect's seniority merit points,

he would probably have to dawdle for three to four hundred years just to earn five hundred merits.

Since he had merits in hand, naturally he had to go spend them.

Zhang Yuhe planned to return to the Sect first and go to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for a Divine Ability.

Exactly five hundred merits could be exchanged for a Heaven Rank High Grade Divine Ability.

Through today's continuous magical combats with Cultivators, especially the process of killing the Horned Demon Clan in the end,

Zhang Yuhe felt that he still had many shortcomings.

His means of dealing with enemies were truly a bit too singular.

Aside from a sword Formation, he had almost no other methods.

Although the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was indeed tremendously fierce and powerful,

the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation defended like Mount Tai and attacked like blazing fire, integrating offense and defense.

It was indeed both a powerful and perfect Divine Ability.

However, as a sword Formation,

the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation could not be cast instantly; it required a certain amount of time to set up the Formation.

Especially since he currently lacked combat experience against enemies and was not very proficient in using the sword Formation,

every time he deployed the sword Formation or switched between offense and defense, a certain gap would appear.

When facing weak enemies, that wasn't a problem.

Once he encountered a strong enemy, it would likely be very easy for them to seize this gap and hit him hard.

Relying solely on the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation seemed a bit insufficient.

Therefore, Zhang Yuhe felt that he needed to learn some other Divine Abilities to strengthen his power.

…

Zhang Yuhe transferred through teleportation arrays consecutively and quickly arrived at Central State City.

He swept quickly across Central State City, flying all the way in the direction of the Dao Saint Sect.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yuhe arrived outside the mountain gate.

The speed of the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Art was indeed powerful enough.

Back then, it had taken him several days just to fly from Central State City to the Dao Saint Sect.

Of course, the main thing was that Zhang Yuhe's current strength was far from comparable to back then.

Soon, Zhang Yuhe arrived near the Scripture Pavilion.

The long-bearded Elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion was still there, dozing with his eyes closed.

Zhang Yuhe quickly stepped forward and respectfully called out,

"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets Elder Fang."

The long-bearded Elder slowly opened his turbid eyes, and when he saw Zhang Yuhe, he said with some surprise,

"Oh, it's you kid again. Didn't you just come here a few days ago?"

Before Elder Fang finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his own head hard, as if remembering something.

He said with sudden realization,

"Right, I heard that in Yunzhong Prefecture, you beat a Refining Void Realm Horned Demon to death?"

"It was all thanks to Elder Lu and Senior Brother, which allowed this Disciple to succeed by fluke."

Zhang Yuhe replied modestly.

He was somewhat speechless; the speed at which news spread was simply too fast.

How long had it been since then?

How did even this old man guarding the Scripture Pavilion know about it?

"Hehe, what merit could they possibly have?"

Elder Fang said with a somewhat disdainful expression.

"With that old ghost Lu's temper, I naturally know him well. If you guys didn't die, he wouldn't make a move."

"As for that reckless braggart Li Tian, let's not even mention him; he isn't even worthy of carrying shoes for a Refining Void Realm Horned Demon."

"I heard you used a powerful sword Formation and slowly ground the Horned Demon to death?"

"Is that sword Formation a Divine Ability from the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture?"

"Yes."

Facing Elder Fang's continuous questioning, Zhang Yuhe nodded helplessly in response.

"It looks like it will be very hard to keep a low profile in the future."

He had only made a move once, yet how did it seem like everyone in the world knew about it?

Damn it, even what Divine Ability he used was known by these people.

Who on earth is the big mouth running around spreading this?

Was it Lu Mingfang or Li Tian?

"It should be Lu Mingfang."

Zhang Yuhe silently guessed.

Although he hadn't had long contact with Li Tian, given Li Tian's arrogant personality,

he obviously wouldn't go around flaunting it everywhere.

Then it could only be Lu Mingfang.

There was no fourth person present at the scene.

"I didn't expect Lu Mingfang, who looks like such a serious person, to actually be a big mouth."

Zhang Yuhe silently complained inwardly.

"Achoo…"

In a certain grand hall of the Dao Saint Sect, Lu Mingfang was handling official business when he suddenly sneezed.

"What's going on? Could someone be cursing this old man?"

Lu Mingfang quickly pinched his fingers to calculate.

…

Elder Fang looked at Zhang Yuhe with squinted, smiling eyes, growing more and more satisfied the more he looked.

He gently patted Zhang Yuhe's shoulder and said with a smile,

"Not bad. The future of the Dao Saint Sect belongs to you young people."

"Right, are you here to exchange for a Divine Ability again?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yuhe gently nodded in response.

Wasn't that stating the obvious?

If it weren't to exchange for a Divine Ability and Cultivation Technique, who would have nothing better to do and run over to the Scripture Pavilion?

Elder Fang said earnestly,

"Choosing Divine Abilities is not a case of the more the better. You should spend more time on cultivation; as for Divine Abilities, having enough to use is enough."

"Elder, it doesn't matter. I'll exchange for the Divine Ability first and comprehend it slowly; cultivation won't be delayed."

Zhang Yuhe was somewhat speechless.

Why did this Elder Fang suddenly become so enthusiastic?

When he came the previous two times, Elder Fang had ignored him completely.

How did he suddenly change his personality?

"Since you insist, I can't persuade you otherwise. The path of Dao is walked by oneself; as long as you know what you're doing, that's fine."

"Which Divine Ability do you want to learn?"

After saying that, Elder Fang tossed over a thick booklet.

Zhang Yuhe respectfully took the booklet, but instead of opening it to browse, he handed over his identity jade token and said,

"Elder, I wish to exchange for the Great Wilderness Heaven Imprisoning Finger."
