Chapter 615: 285: Yellow Turban Strongman
Not only was he the ruler of a country, but he had also achieved success in the Immortal Method, condensing a Qi, and his strength was not inferior to those of the Immortal Sect founders.
Therefore, Lu Yuan’s emotions only lasted for a few moments before he quickly suppressed them.
Moreover, compared to this, what mattered more to him was how much benefit he could gain after his recent breakthrough in strength.
“In the Taiping Dao Book, twenty-seven Dao techniques and five Divine Powers are recorded. Among them are two entry-level techniques, the Talisman Water Technique and the Talisman Sword Technique. I had not entered the Immortal Method previously, and my magical power was shallow, so I only learned one of them – the Talisman Sword Technique.”
With only this technique, however, it helped me kill Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi, and later defeat He Basheng, demonstrating its extraordinary power.
I didn’t bother learning the remaining Talisman Water Technique, as I wanted to save spiritual energy.
But according to the description in the book, this is a healing technique. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life or regrow bones, it can still alleviate most diseases and external injuries.
With one bowl of talisman water, it’s more powerful than many so-called Divine Doctors.
Now that I have condensed a Qi and my magical power is abundant, I can learn this technique as well.
After all, there is a high frequency of wars and casualties nowadays.
Although I am not afraid, many of my commanders and officials are easily threatened. At this time, refining some talisman paper and bestowing it upon important ministers would help save their lives.
Furthermore, there are advanced techniques and Divine Powers that can be mastered after condensing a Qi, which I also need to become proficient in.”
Lu Yuan began to plan his next cultivation process.
Within the Taiping Dao Book, the techniques and Divine Powers one can learn at each stage are different.
Before entering the door, when one’s magical power is shallow, one can only learn the Talisman Water Technique and Talisman Sword Technique.
After condensing a Qi, when one’s magical power is slightly deeper, one can further master a Divine Power, along with three more powerful techniques.
By following this logic, after condensing each Qi in the future, one can learn an additional Divine Power and three techniques.
When the Five Qi are perfect, one can learn five Divine Powers and seventeen techniques.
Lu Yuan has already condensed one Qi, and at this stage, he can learn a Divine Power called Yellow Turban Strongman.
As the name implies, this Divine Power can summon a Yellow Turban Strongman to kill enemies on his behalf.
With his current magical strength, he can summon a Yellow Turban Strongman whose strength is roughly equivalent to a Grandmaster at the Second Inborn level.
If his magical strength improves later, he can gradually increase the number and strength of the Yellow Turban Strongmen.
In the end, as described in the book, one can become like throwing beans to create soldiers, summoning millions of Yellow Turban Strongmen in an instant.
However, to achieve this step, the magical strength required is bound to be high, and even Five Qi Towards Primordial might not be enough. One has to break through the True Person level and become an Immortal in the legends.
Lu Yuan did not have such extravagant hopes at this time.
In addition to the Yellow Turban Strongman Divine Power, there are three techniques: Marsh Technique, Earth Wall Technique, and Earth Spike Technique.
As one could infer from their names, the Marsh Technique can turn an area into marshland, with a range of about one hundred zhang.
Of course, this is based on Lu Yuan’s current magical strength estimation. If his magical strength is sufficient, there is no problem in turning the entire world into marshland.
Although this technique’s power is average, it is not very useful against Inborn experts and above. Even for top-notch experts, it only has a slight impact.
However, for those below the top level, it is a powerful tool for clearing the field.
Especially for ordinary people, once trapped in the marsh, they can’t move at all. Without much time, they will be devoured and die.
In addition, turning an area into marshland can also be an excellent barrier.
If placed on the crucial path of an army’s advance, a marsh can block the road and prevent passage.
Overall, this is an auxiliary technique, leaning towards group attacks and military applications in particular.
From this, it can also be seen that the Taiping Dao Book’s method is indeed created for warring the world, truly the Way of Control Pneuma.
As for the subsequent Earth Wall Technique, it can summon an earth wall to block attacks from one direction for the practitioner.
Based on Lu Yuan’s current estimate of his magical strength, the earth wall he summons should be strong enough to block the full force of an opponent at the same level, making it an extremely strong defense.
Of course, this strong defense can only protect against one direction.
If you defend from the front, others can strike from the left, right, back, and even top or bottom, still finding flaws.
So in a situation facing a single enemy, the effect is quite outstanding. But in the face of multiple opponents, it still falls short.
As for the last Earth Spike Technique, it is an attacking technique.
With it, one can cast a spell to directly transform the ground into sharp, pointed stone spikes, suddenly attacking enemies. Additionally, the number of stone spikes that appear can be controlled at will according to the practitioner’s magical strength and Divine Sense.
As long as your strength is sufficient, in theory, you can create as many stone spikes as you want.
This is a suitable technique for both single and group targets.
Lu Yuan reviewed the effects and abilities of these several Divine Powers and techniques, and slowly pondered in his heart: “I can temporarily ignore the three techniques of condensing a Qi until the time comes.
Although the power of these techniques is not bad, for me, their help is currently limited and can be learned slowly later.”
But the Divine Power of Yellow Turban Strongman is a must.”
As for Lu Yuan now, there are actually not many chances for him to fight against enemies himself.
