Chapter 68: Breaking Mountains and Suppressing Prisons, Zhenwu Refining Form

Movement and stillness arise from a wild heart, subduing dragons and tigers to refine the mysterious scriptures.

Since ancient times, the talisman path under heaven has all returned to Long Hu; precisely because of this, all talisman methods of this lineage must start with the "form of dragon and tiger," intending to subdue dragons and tigers and destroy all evil.

"Impossible... how is this possible?"

In the external scene of the clouds and sky, the one most touched was Xiao Qiji's soul; he had received the true transmission of the Mount Mao Shangqing talisman path and knew deeply the mystery and terror of that lineage.

However, eighty years ago, there was a great calamity in the Daoist sects, Long Hu closed its mountains, and no incense has been rekindled.

This lineage had long since withered and disappeared; how could there still be talisman paths passed down!? "Who? Who exactly is it?" Xiao Qiji's brain worked rapidly.

In this palace temple, there were sixty-four talisman masters raised by the Shen family alone, and twenty or thirty people visiting; among nearly a hundred souls, only one person mastered that Long Hu talisman path.

"Long Hu talisman path... this is impossible... eighty years... that mountain has not had anyone walk out for eighty years..." Shen Xiangrong stared fixedly at that strange soul, his eyes trembling, almost unable to control himself.

The ancestors of the Shen family once studied under Long Hu and learned the Dao in that mountain.

Precisely because of this, they passed it down from generation to generation, teaching it by word of mouth, and knew deeply the mystery and terror of that lineage...

Boom—

Under the sky-covering turtle shell, that soul took a step forward, getting closer.

Just then, golden talisman runes jumped, streams of light splashed, like a barrier, blocking the path of that soul.

Hum...

Suddenly, that soul moved again; he pinched a sword formula, pointed a finger, and under the "form of dragon and tiger," separately drew a "sword form" and a "mountain form."

Boom—

In an instant, a terrifying and awe-inspiring aura rushed into the sky, shaking the clouds, shattering the starlight; that kind of unstoppable power crushed the golden streams of light.

"Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman!"

A cold and heavy voice jumped out from Qiu Zhengdao's teeth; his gaze was intense, looking at the sky, looking at the strange talisman that appeared under the soul's brush, and an unprecedented brilliance surged on his face.

"Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman... is it really a Long Hu Dao Talisman!?"

Xiao Qiji clenched his fists, still feeling that everything before him was like a dream, unbelievable.

The Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman is a very famous talisman method among Long Hu Dao Talismans.

You must know that in the history of the Daoist sects, there were nine times of breaking mountains and destroying temples, killing Wu Wei demons, and among them, the Zhang family of Long Hu took the lead five times.

It can be said that the Zhang family of Long Hu and the Wu Wei Sect were enemies with deep hatred, with blood waves surging.

Xiao Qiji had heard from his teachers in the sect that when the Wu Wei Sect was at its peak, not only was its incense spread throughout the world, but it also encompassed monsters and ghosts from the four seas, lawless...

The Daoist sects broke mountains and destroyed temples, with the Zhang family of Long Hu being the most powerful; their Dao methods were shocking, their talisman path was divine, and among them was a method called 【Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison】; once this talisman was released, it would break mountain incense and suppress the land into a prison, not knowing how many demons and monsters were destroyed.

"Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman... this talisman has not been lost?" Jiang Hu watched, intoxicated.

When he was on the mountain, he had also heard of the fame of this talisman, but eighty years ago, there was a great calamity in the Daoist sects, and even the Zhang family of Long Hu was gone, let alone a talisman.

Boom—

The Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman turned into a sword form, easily breaking the brilliant golden light into a barrier, and immediately after, the "mountain form" on the talisman shone brightly, like a cage, tightly imprisoning the sky-covering turtle shell.

"What is he going to do?"

"Is this person crazy? Daring to touch the Shen family's supreme treasure."

"That is the hard work of three generations of the Shen family; could it be that he wants to take it away?"

"Nonsense, this is an external scene, not real, how can he take it away?"

Unbelievable voices rose one after another; under everyone's gaze, that strange soul came under the sky-covering turtle shell, reached out a big hand, and actually reached directly into the turtle shell.

Golden talisman runes were restrained by that big hand and swallowed in one gulp.

"He... he is snatching the talisman runes of the 【Mysterious Mirror Treasure Record】!?" "This... aiming for the database?"

"Something is wrong... something is really wrong..."

Everyone's faces showed strange expressions, their eyes filled with doubt and incomprehension.

If this person really came from Long Hu and mastered the Long Hu talisman path... then these talisman runes would be like chicken ribs to him; after all, the talisman path under heaven all returns to Long Hu...

He had already mastered deep methods, so why would he want these talisman runes? But if not, how could he draw this 【Breaking Mountain and Suppressing Prison Talisman】?

Crack... crack...

The sound of tearing eardrums echoed in everyone's ears; that strange soul, under the gaze of everyone, wantonly devoured the golden talisman runes within the sky-covering turtle shell, eating these "data" into his belly.

"Seeking death!"

Suddenly, an old voice resounded in the external scene of the clouds and sky, the sky-covering turtle shell shook violently, golden streams of light surged like a wild tide...

In an instant, the external scene of the clouds and sky shattered, and everyone's souls returned to their physical bodies.

This was someone influencing the 【Mysterious Mirror Treasure Record】 in reality, thereby breaking this external scene.

"Just now..."

Inside the Talisman Refining Temple, there was dead silence; everyone looked at each other, and even the sixty talisman masters rarely stopped their work, not daring to act rashly.

"No one here today can leave the Shen family..."

"Please everyone stay for a few days," Shen Xiangrong swept his gaze, showing the courage of the Shen family manager; he stared at the 【Mysterious Mirror Treasure Record】 and turned to leave.

"Zhang Fan... Zhang Fan..."

Just then, Jiang Hu called twice, and Zhang Fan finally came back to his senses.

Soon, everyone in the Talisman Refining Palace was taken to their respective rooms by the Shen family; they could move freely, but could not leave the Shen family.

"Long Hu Dao Talisman?" Zhang Fan listened to Jiang Hu's words, lost in thought.

"This matter is too suspicious; Mount Long Hu has not had incense rekindled for eighty years, how could someone suddenly display a Long Hu Dao Talisman!?" Jiang Hu murmured softly.

"Perhaps someone obtained an external transmission... after all, the history of Mount Long Hu is no less than that of Mount Zhenwu; over the long years, it is not strange for some Daoist methods to be transmitted externally."

Jiang Hu stated the greatest possibility and guess; even so, given the connection between the Shen family and Mount Long Hu, they would definitely dig the person out.

"Dig out?" Zhang Fan frowned.

"We don't need to worry... we are the least suspicious... you are from Mount Zhenwu, I am from Mount Mao... I used to be from Mount Mao... our backgrounds are clean and clear..." Jiang Hu was completely in the mindset of watching a show and eating melon.

"That's true, clean and clear," Zhang Fan nodded, chatted a few words, and sent Jiang Hu out of the room.

The moment he closed the door, his expression became a bit ugly.

"My soul... has a problem!?"

He had no impression of everything Jiang Hu said; he had no memory of entering the external scene and seeing someone display a Long Hu Dao Talisman.

For this, there were only two possibilities: either his soul had never left his body, or...

"No way!?"

Zhang Fan frowned, hurriedly shook his head, calmed his mind, operated the 【North-South Sect Source】 method, practiced for a while, cleared away distracting thoughts, and then fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, at Zhang Fan's chest, the mark representing the Zhenwu Jade Tablet emitted a faint luster.

At the same time, in the inner realm of the soul, in the Great Night Without Light, golden talisman runes slowly gathered like data, constantly outlining and deducing the same traces...

Those traces were huge, with a back like a turtle and a tail like a snake, constantly absorbing and merging the gathered golden talisman runes, as if wanting to condense into form and manifest in Zhang Fan's inner realm.
