Chapter 1621: Chapter 1606: Three-Life Taoist Skill
"Who on earth has slain my Dao Body?" Just awoken from cultivation, Ming Tang slowly stepped out from the secret realm where he had been cultivating, appearing deep within the imperial palace of the Ming Capital in the Tianming Marquis Country.
In the moment of his appearance, Ming Tang, freshly awakened, pulled out a blood-red pendant resembling a Blood Pearl from his chest and fiercely crushed it.
As the Blood Light burst forth, overwhelming Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Waves simultaneously flowed into the Blood Light.
In Ming Tang’s soft mutter, the Blood Light flickered continuously for nearly a hundred breaths. When the Blood Light reached the peak of its brilliance, the void trembled inexplicably, and a weak Divine Soul Wave suddenly appeared within the Blood Light.
Opening his mouth, Ming Tang swallowed the Blood Light, now fused with the weak Divine Soul Wave.
Meanwhile, the commotion from the Blood Light alerted the palace eunuchs and guards, causing a large number to rush over.
But with just a slight lift of his head, Ming Tang made the eunuchs and guards retreat like a tide.
Nevertheless, a hint of doubt flashed in many hearts: wasn’t Prince Tang commanding the army at the front lines? How could he suddenly appear here?
Having fused with that weak Divine Soul Wave, Ming Tang’s expression turned extremely fierce at that moment.
"That bastard actually slew my Dao Body?"
When the memories recalled via Secret Technique completely fused with the awakened Ming Tang, amidst the layers of exclamations, his expression shifted from fierceness to tranquility.
Yet within his tranquil gaze, a torrent of fury was hidden.
"Who would have thought that brat could grow so swiftly? Luckily... that brat probably wouldn’t even dream that I’m not dead, that I’m still alive..."
"In his wildest dreams, he wouldn’t imagine that there’s a Divine Power Technique like the Three-Life Dao Body in this world, would he?"
The Three-Life Dao Body was a cultivation technique Ming Tang sought from his master, the Nine Suns Divine King.
After earning countless merits for the lineage of the Heavenly Temple Sun and Moon Mountain and regaining the Nine Suns Divine King’s acknowledgment, the Divine King intended to bestow upon Ming Tang a profound Cultivation Technique as the foundation for his cultivation.
With his exceptional cultivation knowledge, unmatched by anything Ming Tang had encountered in his life, the Nine Suns Divine King swiftly, given Ming Tang’s current state, offered three Divine Power Techniques for Ming Tang to choose from.
Among the three Divine Power Techniques, the other two had characteristics of rapid cultivation progress and strong combat prowess, but Ming Tang had fallen on the True Profound Continent once, losing his physical body, surviving only through a possession technique.
Due to possessing, Ming Tang’s Innate Primordial Power was greatly depleted, including his Innate Divine Soul, Innate Essence Blood, and Innate Spiritual Veins Qi, all suffered to varying extents.
With such innate depletion, advancing his cultivation to the Dao Realm in the future would be near impossible without an abundance of Innate Spiritual Objects to replenish the losses, leaving him virtually cut off from reaching Dao Realm in this lifetime.
Regarding Innate Spiritual Objects, not only Ming Tang but even Dao Realm experts found them exceedingly rare, including his master, the Nine Suns Divine King, who also considered them extremely rare.
Even if one were found occasionally, such treasures would be too precious to share with Ming Tang, much less given to him.
Faced with such circumstances, after thorough contemplation, Ming Tang decisively abandoned the other two techniques with powerful combat features, ultimately choosing the Three-Life Dao Body which suited his needs perfectly.
Why did the Three-Life Dao Body suit Ming Tang so well?
The previous death crisis he experienced on the True Profound Continent made Ming Tang truly feel the touch of death for the first time, instilling in him a profound fear of death.
Upon his hasty return, Ming Tang even feared seeing any strangers, refusing to venture out without thousands of elite guards.
However, after cultivating the Three-Life Dao Body, he could develop three Dao Bodies corresponding to past, present, and future lives, allowing the cultivator to switch freely between bodies, enabling the Dao Body to traverse the world or undertake dangerous tasks.
If the Dao Body perishes, the main body only suffers minor damage to the Divine Soul Power, yet remains alive.
Moreover, each Dao Body can independently cultivate. When cultivated to peak levels, it equals three individuals cultivating simultaneously, leading to substantial achievements.
Crucially, this Three-Life Dao Body is a life-saving Divine Art.
Even if slain in errant circumstances, as long as one Dao Body survives, one won’t truly die.
Unhesitatingly, Ming Tang chose the Three-Life Dao Body and successfully cultivated it under Nine Suns Divine King’s guidance.
Ordinarily, only one Dao Body ventures out, while the other two remain in hidden places, cultivating in deep slumber.
Apart from the cultivator’s active control or in the event of the roaming Dao Body’s death, the other Dao Body awakens.
Ming Tang’s case was precisely a situation where the roaming Dao Body had been slain, causing another Dao Body to awaken automatically.
However, due to years of extreme focus in cultivating within the highly beneficial secret realm, without any distractions, this Dao Body was vastly more powerful than the one slain by Ye Zhen, reaching the Dark Palace Realm Seventh Stage!
Furthermore, upon separating the Dao Bodies, a Spirit Blood Talisman is forged through Three-Life Dao Body’s Secret Technique. If a roaming Dao Body dies, this talisman gets activated, retrieving the dying Dao Body’s final memories.
Ming Tang knew full well that such a day would inevitably come when cultivating the Three-Life Dao Body, but didn’t expect it to arrive so swiftly!
The expression of Ming Tang, who had integrated the memories of the Dao Body, quickly changed.
He was very clear about what those memories appearing in the Dao Body represented.
Shahe City is absolutely not allowed to fail!
Shahe City is not only a new starting point for the expansion of the Tianming Marquisate but also an incredibly important step for him to expand his influence in the Heavenly Temple Sun and Moon Mountain.
Over the years, Ming Tang had long understood that the Tianming Marquisate was merely a resource he held, but his real target was the Heavenly Temple.
No matter how powerful the Tianming Marquisate becomes, it’s still just a marquisate and can be reduced to dust under the military power of the Great Zhou Empire. But the Heavenly Temple is different.
The Heavenly Temple is a force that can rival the Great Zhou Empire.
Over these years, he utilized his influence and power in the Heavenly Temple to help the Tianming Marquisate and in turn, used the power of the Tianming Marquisate to help the Heavenly Temple Sun and Moon Mountain branch to spread the teachings and gather followers.
Working in tandem brought about today’s achievements.
In the entire Tianming Marquisate, although it was his father who was the ruler, at least forty percent of the military power was in his hands.
Moreover, whenever his father wanted to make a major decision, he almost always had to consult him because he had the Heavenly Temple behind him.
The Heavenly Temple valued him because of his strong secular influence.
If either of these two were to encounter problems, everything he had so far would go down the drain.
Thus, after considering everything, Ming Tang discovered that his major concern now was not Ye Zhen, but rather Shahe City, which had fallen out of control.
The True Profound Continent behind Ye Zhen is hidden in his heart, and no one can take it away. Given time, he would try every way to obtain the True Profound Continent.
Only those who have mingled within the Heavenly Temple know the real value of entirely controlling a Little World.
And Ming Tang happened to be someone who had mingled within the Heavenly Temple for a long time.
His current first priority was to stabilize the out-of-control Shahe City, then expand the victory!
A few breaths later, Ming Tang, donning the attire of the prince and military commander, personally summoned several military chiefs of the Tianming Marquisate and issued more than a dozen orders to the commanding officer of Shahe City.
Ming Tang himself boarded a Spirit Boat, along with numerous experts, and hurried to Shahe City!
"At all costs, even if you turn into dried corpses or this Spirit Boat disintegrates, I must appear in Shahe City within three days." As he stepped onto the Spirit Boat, Ming Tang said to the hundreds of Dark Palace Realm and Realm King Realm experts propelling the boat.
In the next moment, hundreds of Dark Palace Realm experts exchanged glances, simultaneously spitting out a mouthful of golden heart blood. The Spirit Boat shuddered fiercely and then disappeared into the sky!
Within the west city of Shahe City, a row of magnificent gilded halls stood tall. Even during wartime, countless citizens knelt at a distance before the grand statue in the center of the hall, fervently praying for peace.
A dozen Grand Spirit Masters with glistening bald heads hovered around the four corners of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch Temple, dropping streams of blue or green Spirit Light from their palms, healing the wounds of the citizens injured during the chaos.
As for the chaotic army, they didn’t dare approach the vicinity of the Heavenly Temple!
Once they approached, they would be killed mercilessly!
As the wounds of some civilians who escaped death rapidly healed, the way they looked at the grand statues turned exceptionally devout.
Bowing frantically, at this moment, he wished to offer his life to prove his devotion.
Invisible strands of Power of Belief rose from these devout citizens, converging within the idols inside the Branch Temple.
Seemingly, the idols standing within the Branch Temple appeared a bit more solemn.
This situation came in waves, one after the other.
In times of war, the Heavenly Temple would become the sole sanctuary in the war-torn area. On normal days, believers cannot be coaxed to come, but now they were eagerly rushing to bow before the statues.
Where there is war, the number of believers will increase hundreds or even thousands of times.
Therefore, Branch Temples of the Heavenly Temple always appear in places where there is war.
One by one, Grand Spirit Masters qualified to shave their heads were smiling broadly now, although they couldn’t directly perceive the enormous Power of Belief gathering towards the deities of the Heavenly Temple.
However, their contributions were undeniable, and when the various rewards came, the benefits would be considerable.
Compared to the ease outside the temple, inside the Sun and Moon Hall, the abbot of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch Temple, Zhao Shi, harshly slapped Governor Yong Kun, who had just fled back.
He directly smacked half of Yong Kun’s teeth loose.
"One person slaughtered our Heavenly Temple’s Divine Master, a hundred Grand Spirit Masters, and a thousand Spirit Masters. Are you dreaming, or has your Divine Soul been controlled?
If they were really killed...." Before Zhao Shi could even finish scolding, a Talisman Communication suddenly flew into his hand.
After just one glance, Zhao Shi’s expression drastically changed. He slapped Governor Yong Kun again, shouting angrily, "You actually fled from the battlefield...."
During the reprimand, the eyes of the Nine Suns Divine King’s statue behind Zhao Shi suddenly exploded with a circle of dazzling flames.
In an instant, Zhao Shi’s expression changed again, and he shouted urgently, "Who dares, show yourself!"
