The talent of the Hui Dragon is termed 'Rare Talent'.

The talent of the Flood Dragon, on the other hand, is called 'Super-grade Talent'.

Just by comparing the Hui Dragon and the Flood Dragon, one can tell the difference in qualifications between the two.

When Chen Ku was bestowed with the 'Rare Talent' of the Hui Dragon, he was already able to grasp many superior martial arts, such as the bone-chopping butcher blade and the Shadowless Exquisite Blade Technique, at a glance and master them upon practice, as if these superior martial arts were as simple as one plus one equals two to him…

Now, his talent has advanced further, reaching the level of the Flood Dragon's talent…

Chen Ku discovered that he could now easily exhibit many martial arts of the Ultimate Skill Level.

The Furious Ape Mighty Staff, the ultimate skill level stick technique he has cultivated the longest, at this moment, seemed to evolve automatically in his mind as if self-taught.

If it weren't for this not being the time to practice martial arts outside, Chen Ku could hardly restrain the urge to go out and practice his stick skills.

And the most crucial point actually lies in…

Chen Ku glanced at Guan Hongluan, then instantly vanished into the ground, arriving at a secluded place in Snake Fish Town, and then took out a long blade from the storage bag, attempting to perform Guan Hongluan's world-surpassing martial art - Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword.

Almost visible to the naked eye.

The qi power on the long blade in his hand began to expand and extend, ten meters…twenty meters…thirty meters…

Forty meters!

The sword energy of a forty-meter-long blade!

With a light swing of the blade, Chen Ku slashed towards the forest in front of him.

Crack!

In an instant, dozens of big trees fell with a sound.

"No wonder Guan Hongluan's great-grandfather could make outstanding military contributions on the battlefield, enshrined as the Marquis of Han Shou. This move, the Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword, would be like 'mowing down grass' on the battlefield, slicing through a large area with a single swing, it is simply a mass destruction weapon!"

Chen Ku sheathed the blade.

The reason he could perform the move once shown by Guan Hongluan is inseparable from the ultimate skill level bladesmanship experience he gained from Li Yutang.

But the greater contribution was from the Flood Dragon's talent, more outstanding than the Hui Dragon's talent.

Super-grade Talent!

If the Hui Dragon's talent allowed him to grasp general superior martial arts at a glance and master them quickly, then the super-grade talent represented by the Flood Dragon's talent enabled him to 'draw inferences from one instance' and enhance his understanding of world-surpassing martial arts like the Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword by absorbing other blade techniques.

After testing the power of Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword post-minor achievement.

Chen Ku continued to test his luck.

[True Void Ancestor Transformation·Shape Shifting]

[Shape Shifting Part: Spiritual Capture]

With a single thought, Chen Ku instantly felt his spirit could leave his body, transforming into an invisible spiritual hand to grasp objects.

If there were people in the forest at this moment, they would see such a scene.

Buzz~~

Chen Ku stood motionless, while the dozen or so trees he had cut down seemed to be caught by an invisible giant hand and lifted simultaneously, then flung into the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of massive trees slammed into the ground not far away, creating a large pit.

Chen Ku murmured to himself:

"Spiritual Capture seems like object manipulation, but it actually is a 'spiritual means' of forcefully seizing, as indefensible as the Spiritual Heavenly Eye. Master Yang Luochen fell to this move."

His master Yang Luochen's stick technique had already reached the Perfection Realm, and if that True Void Ancestor were a Sixth Realm Martial Practitioner, Yang Luochen could exchange dozens of moves with him even if the ancestor was one realm higher.

But the True Void Ancestor's 'Spiritual Capture' was truly incredible and unnoticeable, like a sneak attack, taking Yang Luochen down directly.

"This move is also a means to instantly subdue an enemy unexpectedly."

Next up.

He tried out the Incense Fire Divine Spirit Evil Qi that dropped from the most formidable leader of the Peace Path.

[Incense Fire Divine Spirit Transformation·Shape-shifting]

[Shape Shifting Part: Nine Heavens Divine Spell]

All of a sudden,

A spell appeared in Chen Ku's mind, with tens of thousands of words throughout.

It explained how to use the power of incense to condense a 'Divine Spirit's Dharma Body'.

In an instant, Chen Ku understood how the seven halos behind the Peace Path's leader's head were formed, according to the records in the Incense Fire Dharma Body Technique.

This divine spell is different from the individual practice of a martial practitioner under regular circumstances.

The cultivation process is very special.

First, the divine spell is simply split into several sub-spells and a main spell. One cultivates the main spell oneself, then widely disseminates the sub-spells, allowing the populace or believers to recite it daily for you, providing incense willpower…

According to the record of the Nine Heavens Divine Spell.

To successfully cultivate each layer of halo, the number of believers needed for the next layer is twice or even several times that of the previous layer…

For instance, when practicing the first layer, only ten people needed to recite it daily for him.

And when one wants to achieve the ninth layer, at least ten million people need to recite it for him daily.

In short,

This divine spell's power grows stronger with more believers.

"No wonder Peace Path seeks to spread its teachings… it seems to be because of the cultivation methodology regarding this matter…"

Chen Ku finally understood the reason behind Peace Path's propagation of teachings.

He could also feel at this moment.

With the Nine Heavens Divine Spell cultivated to only the seventh layer of the halo, it was already a match for Qin Yuxian, a Seventh Realm possession-level Great Ghost Practitioner, capable of swapping bodies and reincarnating at will.

But if cultivated to the ninth layer, wouldn't it be equivalent to a Ninth Realm Great Martial Man?

Undeniably, this is a 'Supreme Level' Divine Tao Technique.

"It's useless in my hands."

Chen Ku murmured to himself:

"Unless I also rebel like the Peace Path, gathering followers, or when there's an extra divine transformation to act on my behalf…"

Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Peace Path was determined to capture Baojiao County.

"Could it be? They want to turn everyone in the county into 'Spiritual Human Pills' to aid their cultivation, forcing the populace to chant daily?"

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"Er Lang, you must get my sister and brother-in-law out of there."

While thinking.

He felt a sense of something.

"Er Lang is nearby."

He immediately walked in that direction.

Shortly,

Here came Er Lang, carrying a woman on his back.

"I'm sorry, my true self, I couldn't find our brother-in-law. Only our sister was at home, and with the city about to be sealed, I had to bring her out first. To make things easier, I tapped her acupoint," Er Lang's face was full of apology.

Chen Ku sighed and took over his sister.

Suddenly,

he sensed the Five-colored Peacock and the Four Unlikes approaching as well.

Chen Ku looked at the Five-colored Peacock and said:

"You finally found your way here. Perfect timing, let me see what you've been through?"

He uttered the word 'collect' and retrieved the three incarnations back into his body.

He began to browse through the memories of the three incarnations. The Four Unlikes was straightforward; it hardly appeared and simply stayed with the group from Medicine King Hall, escorting them out of the city while secretly eliminating a few Taoist soldiers who might have discovered them.

Er Lang, as he said, did not find their brother-in-law after entering Tongluo Lane.

"I'll have to rely on the city's rats and sparrows to help me find him,"

Chen Ku sighed inwardly.

The rebellion at Peace Path was too sudden, and he couldn't attend to everything. Just getting so many people out of the city in time was already the limit.

Next, he checked the memory of the Five-colored Peacock.

He discovered that, as he had guessed, upon seeing Shan Lingguan coming to abduct someone, its first thought was to flee immediately, fearing it would be mistaken for a Five Elements Spiritual Item by Shan Lingguan, who might slaughter it and gift it to the Diagram Master, which would have been a major blunder...

After retrieving the three incarnations,

the momentum throughout Chen Ku's body surged once more.

Originally, many of his incarnations had been outside his body for a long time, meaning he was rarely in his peak state.

Now, with all incarnations returned,

the six Transformation Diagrams: Flood Dragon, Five-colored Peacock, Er Lang, Four Unlikes, Fire Beak Pot...

And then, he chose to hang the True Void Ancestor Transformation on.

Ensuring that, in any extreme circumstances he might encounter, he could still employ the method of 'Spiritual Capture'.

...

Knock knock~~

He opened the door to his mother and sister-in-law.

"Tian'er..." His mother tearfully exclaimed in delight.

She had been worried about her elder daughter throughout the journey, never expecting...

"I arranged for someone to bring our sister out too, but I haven't seen our brother-in-law. When our sister wakes up, it will be hard for her to accept, so, Mother, you'll have to comfort her," Chen Ku said. "Tell her that I'll continue to search for our brother-in-law, so she need not worry, everything will be fine."

His mother tearfully agreed, embracing her daughter against the wall, gently smoothing her hair.

...

The day broke.

The majority of the citizens in Baojiao County had no idea what had happened the previous night, only knowing that when they awoke early in the morning, the streets were littered with bodies.

Seeing the unfamiliar Taoists guarding all the city gates and the head of County Magistrate Qi Wanshan hanging at the gate,

it was then that everyone realized something terrifying had happened.

There was a rebellion!

Baojiao County was captured by Peace Path!!

Subsequently, every household was distributed talisman paper and spells, with instructions that each family member must recite them three times a day—morning, noon, and night...

...

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, on a peak of Two Realms Mountain, Shangguan Yun, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the outline of the city illuminated by the sunrise at the horizon.

Under his spiritual gaze, the Qi Fortune within the city had astonishingly transformed into a towering deity, sitting cross-legged there.

"Baojiao County now belongs to someone else."

Shangguan Yun murmured softly:

"After all, it was a place of residence for five years, alas."

Bang!

But just at that moment, from the forest behind him came an enormous sound of an earthquake, followed by a great splashing sound, as if a lake had emerged within the mountain, the noise echoing far and wide.

Shangguan Yun turned to look.

He saw Sui You hurriedly approaching, and said:

"My lord, as you predicted, beyond the underground palace there is a surrounding of mercury. Now that it has been released, fortunately, we withdrew the craftsmen beforehand, leaving behind the waterways. The mercury is now flowing to the outside world, and we can go in."

Soon, Shangguan Yun and his group arrived at the entrance of the underground palace.

Gazing at the three-zhang tall figure holding a bronze battle ax, standing at the gate, Shangguan Yun's brow burned hot, as if on fire, he said softly:

"A Seventh Realm Mechanical General!"

"Seventh Realm? Even the gatekeeper is a Seventh Realm Mechanical General, then behind that door..." Sui You and the experts from the Heavenly Craftsman's Mansion behind him were all in awe.

"It was what we had long suspected."

Shangguan Yun chuckled softly, saying:

"Fortunately, we invited Master Yelev from Treasure Tripod Sect. With a master here, what fear is there from a mere Seventh Realm Mechanical Copper Person? As for the Mechanical Generals behind the door... has the news been released?"

......

In Snake Fish Town, by the time it was noon after dawn.

"Junior Brother, this time, just come directly with your family to Qiu Dragon Mansion with us," Qin Yuxian said.

Shan Lingguan also said: "The situation in Baojiao County is settled, and regardless of how the Imperial Court recaptures the lost territory, this place will become a land of warfare..."

But just as the two were persuading Chen Ku to go with them to Qiu Dragon Mansion,

Suddenly, they heard Kou Ming's voice from outside:

"Junior Brother Chen! Big news! This morning, from who knows where, news broke out that the treasure of Hero King Pei Dongliu, over a hundred and fifty years old, is buried beneath Chicken Crown Peak at Two Realms Mountain!"

"Hero King Treasure?"

Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian were both taken aback simultaneously:

"Is it really in Baojiao County?"

Chen Ku's expression changed further, his heart pondering:

"Shangguan Yun, to actually make the information public openly, what are you planning? To use others to help break the mechanisms in the underground palace?"

"Master Uncle..." Qin Yuxian spoke first, "Whether this news is true or not, we have to take a look."

"You mean... that Void Sky Treasure Box?" Shan Lingguan's gaze was grave.

Chen Ku was curious:

"What is the Void Sky Treasure Box?"

Regarding the Hero King Treasure, this seemed to be information he was unaware of.
