Chapter 616: Chapter 285: Yellow Turban Strongman_2

Not to mention fighting against him, one would need at least the strength of an Inborn Grandmaster.

However, there are very few Inborn Grandmasters in the world. In total, there might only be two or three hundred of them across the Nine Provinces and Ten Domains, with the number not exceeding four hundred at most.

With such a scarce number of Grandmasters, distributed across the vast world, there is essentially only one Inborn Grandmaster in a region. Moreover, some poorer regions cannot even cultivate an Inborn Grandmaster.

So, unless it was a desperate situation, two Grandmasters would not be inclined to engage in a fight casually.

With Lu Yuan’s strength, even if he encountered an Inborn Grandmaster, he would have his Immortal Dao cultivation to back him up along with the support of Martial Arts Xiantian.

Once the Martial Arts Divine Powers and Red Sun True Fire were activated, the opponent would be confused while facing them. In secret, he would use the Thunder Sound Art from the Five Thunder Book to deter the enemy’s soul, and finally, use the Talisman Sword Technique from the Taiping Dao Book to launch a sneak attack for a beheading.

After this set of processes, no Inborn First Stage Grandmasters would be able to escape. If an Inborn Second Stage Grandmaster were to be caught off guard and have slightly less strength, they might also fall prey to this.

There would not be extremely powerful beings like He Basheng previously encountered, who were able to detect danger during the Inborn Second Stage and have the opportunity to escape into the sky.

As for the Grandmasters of the Inborn Third Stage, there is not a single one of them in the world, so they are not considered.

Thus, from these experiences, it is evident that Lu Yuan now dominates all Inborn Grandmasters he encounters, whether they are in the First or Second Stage.

From a martial artist perspective, there are no more opponents in the world for him.

At present, the only beings that could pose a threat to him are those of similar realm, such as the Immortal Dao Sect Lords.

However, such existences have already transcended the mundane plane and don’t get involved in earthly disputes. As long as he didn’t violate their core interests, there should be no trouble.

Apart from the Dan Ding Path which Lu Yuan had offended before, there is no need to worry about other Cauldrons causing trouble for him.

And from observations over the past year, although Dan Ding Path was heavily offended by him, it seems to have chosen to swallow the insult and not harbor thoughts of revenge.

Moreover, even if the opponent did fight, Lu Yuan might still lose against the Dan Ding Dao master even if he had learned the three Dao Laws, which would be no different than not learning them.

Regardless of whether he had learned them or not, he was confident in preserving his life.

Since the outcome would still be a loss, and he wouldn’t die anyway, there was no need to waste precious mana to learn these temporarily useless Dao Laws.

Every bit of Celestial spirit qi in the world is limited, and once it’s used, it’s gone.

At this point, Lu Yuan was in a similar situation to the Ziyun Dao Master and the others during the Inescapable Meeting, where they would avoid using Dao Laws if possible.

It’s not that they couldn’t use them, but that they were reluctant to.

After all, that was mana they had obtained through great hardship from the Heavenly Vault and the remnants of Heavenly and Earthly Aura, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to replenish once it was used up.

“Cultivating to be an Immortal in this Age of Dharma Decline is really too difficult.”

Lu Yuan sighed, cast aside the bitterness in his heart, then began writing urgently what seemed like a decree.

Instead of learning new Dao Laws, he only wanted to learn one Divine Power – the Yellow Turban Strongman.

But learning the Divine Power of the Yellow Turban Strongman was not an easy task.

Divine Powers can be divided into two types: External and Internal Divine Powers.

External Divine Powers are powers manifested through external objects.

In simple terms, it is the use of Heavenly and Earthly treasures to engrave Divine Power Runes, thereby solidifying Divine Power spells.

When needed, simply infuse mana from within, and the Divine Power can be used.

Internal Divine Powers involve cultivating one’s body to be imbued with Divine Power.

In rough terms, this means engraving Divine Power Runes within the body, integrating them into the body and forming a kind of fixed, invisible spell organ.

When needed, with a mere thought and the flow of mana, the spell organ can be activated, allowing the Divine Power to be unleashed instantly.

Both types of Divine Powers have more powerful spells than those hastily cast by cultivators, all thanks to the fixed runes.

Furthermore, as these are complete spells, they can be released instantly with a thought, as long as there is sufficient mana within the body.

This makes their power and casting speed far superior to those of ordinary cultivators, which is why Divine Powers are generally stronger than Dao Laws.

The Yellow Turban Strongman that Lu Yuan wants to practice now is an External Divine Power.

To learn this Divine Power, he needs not only to comprehend the Divine Power Runes to a usable degree but also to prepare some Heavenly and Earthly treasures as the external vessel or external body to contain and enshrine the Divine Power Runes.

“The best external object for the Yellow Turban Strongman, as stated in the Dao Book, is spirit beans.

Directly carving runes into spirit beans and nurturing a Divine Power Embryo will enable the rapid cultivation of a Strongman with the help of mana.

Moreover, since it is an embryo, this type of Yellow Turban Strongman can vary in type and be imbued with various attributes according to the caster’s intention, making them more versatile and powerful.

Even if there are a large number of such Divine Power spirit beans, they can be evolved into a great Divine Power, Bean-Throwing Soldiers.

With a wave of the hand, spirit beans are scattered and countless Yellow Turban Strongmen join the fray.

But now, as the qi of the Celestial spirits is exhausted and the world has entered the Age of Dharma Decline, it is basically impossible to find spirit beans, let alone other creatures that rely on spiritual energy for survival, as they are almost extinct.
