Cang Long Taoist Priest

The figure who walked out of the bronze coffin was wearing a green Taoist robe. His hair was tied up in a bun, and he held a white horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal.

Zhuowen was no stranger to this middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest. He was the master of the Azure Dragon Hall, Cang Long Taoist.

Zhuowen did not expect Cang Long Taoist to be alive in the Azure Dragon Hall. What was even more unbelievable was that Cang Long Taoist had been suppressed under the Nineteenth Mountain.

"After comprehending the laws of the six forbidden areas of the Nineteenth Mountain, the Nineteenth Mountain was actually devoured by the Eye of Heaven Devouring …"

Zhuo Wen's gaze landed on Taoist Master Cang Long, who had shot out from the bronze coffin, as a contemplative look appeared in his eyes. He clearly remembered that the First Mountain God had said that if he could comprehend the laws of the six great forbidden areas of the Nineteenth Mountain, then the First Mountain God would completely break free from the shackles of the Azure Dragon Hall.

However, now that he had comprehended six laws of the six forbidden areas of the Nineteenth Mountain, Cang Long Taoist, the master of the Azure Dragon Hall, had walked out of the Nineteenth Mountain.

Back then, the First Mountain God had clearly said that Cang Long Taoist was his mortal enemy. Now, he had followed the First Mountain God's instructions and released Cang Long Taoist. All of this confused Zhuowen.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhuowen seemed to understand something.

"Memory Splitting Technique …"

Zhuo Wen muttered in a low voice. He thought of his perfect Holy Body clone and Spiritual Power clone. These two clones had been separated from his original body after he had cultivated the Spirit Clone Duan Yi.

Moreover, the two clones did not affect each other, but they were of the same origin. He could permanently separate the two clones or merge them into one to increase his strength.

The Memory Splitting Technique was a strange secret technique that the First Mountain God had taught him. He had already suspected why the First Mountain God did not cultivate the Memory Splitting Technique.

However, because the First Mountain God had only cultivated his physical body, with the characteristics of the Memory Splitting Technique, even if the First Mountain God had cultivated it, it would be difficult for him to separate clones with different characteristics.

But now, Zhuowen could vaguely guess that it was not that the First Mountain God did not cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique, but that the First Mountain God was a doppelganger created by the Cang Long Taoist after he cultivated the Soul Splitting Technique.

Back then, the reason why the First Mountain God allowed him to comprehend the laws of the Six Great Forbidden Lands was most likely not to release him, but to release his original body, the Azure Dragon Taoist.

Taoist Cang Long slowly turned his head, smiled at Zhuowen and said, "Zhuowen, you don't seem very surprised to see me."

Zhuowen raised his head to look at Taoist Cang Long and said in a deep voice, "Mind Splitting Secret Technique?"

Taoist Master Cang Long took a deep look at Zhuowen. He was not too surprised and continued, "It seems that you have guessed it. The First Mountain God is indeed my clone."

"Then why did you lie to me back then?" Zhuowen asked calmly.

Taoist Master Cang Long smiled and said, "Because the time was not right. It was really inappropriate to let you know the identity of the First Mountain God in advance!"

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Cang Long revealed a bitter smile and said, "It seems that Brother Cangjie really gave you the Origin Black Crystal. Does this mean that Brother Cangjie has fallen?"

Zhuowen looked at Taoist Master Cang Long silently and did not answer. There were some things that Taoist Master Cang Long should know without him saying. After all, the First Mountain God was his doppelganger. Taoist Master Cang Long should know about Cangjie's situation.

"Can you help me defeat Yang Yi?" Zhuowen asked in a deep voice.

Taoist Master Cang Long took a deep look at Zhuowen, shook his head and said, "Yang Yi has already exceeded Brother Cangjie's and my expectations. The worst plan we made was that the strongest parasite in Devour's body would seize Brother Cangjie's body and absorb Devour's power to become a Divine Realm expert."

"It's just as you've seen. Devouring its master means devouring its queen, causing its strength to leap to the early stage of the Heavenly God Realm. That's the worst outcome we've achieved back then. If that's all, I'll be able to deal with it."

"But now, Yang Yi, who came out of nowhere, has the terrifying cultivation of the Late-stage of the Divine Realm. Such an expert is enough to destroy our Heavenly Armor Star. He is many times more powerful than Devour's master."

"When my Original Body and my doppelganger combine, I will break through to the Divine Realm. However, I will only be at the Early-stage of the Divine Realm. I will not be Yang Yi's opponent at all..."

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Cang Long looked at Zhuowen, his eyes full of hope. He continued, "But you are different. Yang Yi is an accident that Brother Cangjie and I did not expect, but you are also out of our expectations."

"You have comprehended Dao Meaning and raised it to Level Two. In other words, if your cultivation can be raised to the Early-stage of the Divine Realm, you will be able to fight Yang Yi."

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. He did not deny Taoist Master Cang Long's words. With the support of Level Two Dao Meaning, if the strength of an Early-stage of the Divine Realm was doubled, it was indeed possible for him to fight a Late-stage of the Divine Realm.

However, Zhuowen's current cultivation was too weak. He was only at the Late-stage of the Divine Realm, which was still a distance away from the Peak of the Divine Realm.

His previous cultivation of the Demigod Realm was forcibly raised by Cangjie's power. It was extremely difficult for him to raise his cultivation to the Divine Realm because of this.

Taoist Master Cang Long also saw the difficult expression in Zhuowen's eyes. He suddenly smiled and said, "Zhuowen, I know what you are worried about. I have a way to raise your strength to the Early-stage of the Divine Realm in a short time, but the price is very high …"

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Cang Long suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed to Zhuowen with great respect. He pleaded, "Zhuowen, my strength is not enough. Only you, who have comprehended Level Two Dao Meaning, can contend against Yang Yi. Seeing that you are a citizen of the Heavenly Armor Continent, can you help me this time?"

Zhuowen helped Taoist Master Cang Long up. In his mind, he thought of Fuxi, Dongfang, Beichen, and the other four who did not hesitate to self-detonate to stop Yang Yi. He was deeply touched.

"Senior Cang Long, even if you don't ask, I will do my best. The Heavenly Armor Continent is not only your hometown, it is also my hometown. My family and friends are also there. I am duty-bound to protect the Heavenly Armor Continent."

Zhuowen sighed and continued, "If senior really has a way to raise my strength to the Early-stage of the Divine Realm, junior will not hesitate to pay any price."

Taoist Master Cang Long revealed a gratified expression and then slowly walked to Zhuowen's side.

"Senior, you …"

Only now did Zhuowen see clearly that although Taoist Master Cang Long's aura was as vast as the ocean, his body actually looked somewhat illusory as if he did not have a physical body.

"This old man's physical body had already collapsed in the great battle ten thousand years ago. Relying on the first Mountain God avatar derived from Duan Yi and the uniqueness of the Azure Dragon Palace's third heaven, the nineteenth mountain, this old man's soul was suppressed in the nineteenth mountain to recuperate."

"Once someone comprehends the Six Great Laws that I set up in the Sixth Forbidden Area of the Nineteenth Mountain, my soul will be transformed into a Divine Soul."

"Originally, I planned to transform my soul into a Divine Soul. When the First Mountain God's physical body reached the Divine Body Realm, I would combine the two and finally reach the Divine Realm. Moreover, I would not be an ordinary Divine Realm expert. I would be able to fight against a Mid Divine Realm expert as soon as I reached the Early-stage of the Divine Realm."

"Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Whether it was the soul or the physical body, it did not achieve the expected plan. Moreover, the war between Devour and the Divine Realm appeared in advance. If Brother Cangjie had not given you the Origin Black Crystal, my soul would have been successfully promoted to the Divine Soul Realm."

"If Yang Yi did not exist, I could also carry my Divine Soul on my perfect Divine Body and forcibly promote it to the Early-stage of the Divine Realm. Although it would not be perfect, it would not be much weaker than the Early-stage of the Divine Realm. It would be enough to resist the invasion of Devour."

"However, Yang Yi was too strong. Even if my Divine Soul and Divine Body combined, it was still impossible for me to be Yang Yi's opponent. Therefore, I placed all my hopes on you. The Early-stage of the Divine Realm with the support of the Second Dao Meaning is enough to rival a Late Divine Realm expert."

At this point, Taoist Master Cang Long's mouth was full of a smile. It was an extremely carefree smile. However, Zhuowen had a trace of ominous feeling in his heart.

However, before Zhuowen could say anything, Taoist Master Cang Long waved his sleeve and pointed his right finger at the space between Zhuowen's eyebrows.

Zhuo Wen wanted to dodge, but he discovered that the speed of Taoist Master Cang Long's right finger was too fast. Moreover, his surroundings were filled with an extremely surging shackling force, causing him to be utterly unable to dodge.

Bang!

When Taoist Master Cang Long's right finger completely touched Zhuowen's forehead, an extremely surging force poured into Zhuowen's Sea of Consciousness.

This force was extremely strange. When this force entered Zhuowen's Sea of Consciousness, Zhuowen found that his Sea of Consciousness was undergoing an extremely strange transformation.

Under the transformation of this force, his Sea of Consciousness gradually dried up, revealing the chapped riverbed below the surface of the sea.

When the last drop of seawater evaporated, the chapped riverbed collapsed inch by inch into nothingness. Then, Zhuowen found that his Sea of Consciousness had become a space of nothingness.

Moreover, as this force continued to enter, the space of nothingness began to be filled with bits of starlight.

The starlight became denser and denser. Under the embellishment of the starlight, this dark space of nothingness became a galaxy of countless twinkling stars. This galaxy was extremely large, many times larger than the Sea of Consciousness that was previously filled with seawater.

"Zhuowen, this is the Divine Soul. Only after you have advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm will your Sea of Consciousness completely transform into a Divine Soul."

"The Divine Soul is very large, like the boundless starry sky, as far as the eye can see. This is the only thing I can do for you."

When Zhuowen's Sea of Consciousness completely transformed into a Divine Soul, Taoist Master Cang Long's voice slowly rang in Zhuowen's mind. However, this voice revealed a trace of exhaustion and relief.

At this moment, the first Mountain God outside was holding the Azure Dragon Hall in his hand.

When Taoist Master Cang Long completely helped Zhuowen develop his Divine Soul, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the Azure Dragon Hall, and finally shattered into countless light spots.

These light spots were like armor, densely covering the surface of the first Mountain God's body, forming a dazzling and terrifying light robe.
