First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 220: Starry Sky Great Hand Seal

This martial technique and cultivation method should be called the Four Palaces Twenty-Eight Constellations Heavenly Net Great Hand Seal!

It is a spirit-level inferior-grade martial technique that references the four directions and the twenty-eight constellations. It has been evolved and perfected by the successive peak masters of the Starry Sky Peak.

It is also the first spirit-level cultivation method obtained by Shen Mo from the Linjiang Sect!

It corresponds to the grade of magical artifacts.

Immortal arts, martial techniques, and other cultivation methods also have four major grades: Profound, Spirit, Treasure, and Immortal.

Although cultivation methods of any grade in the cultivation world are often referred to as spirit techniques, treasure manuals, or immortal scriptures, most of them are products of random boasting.

Eight or nine out of ten are Profound Grade cultivation methods!

The "Starry Sky Great Hand Seal" is different; it is a genuine spirit-level cultivation method.

The biggest difference from Profound Grade cultivation methods is that there is spirituality within the technique.

It is said that when cultivated to a high level, one can unleash a divine attack that can transform into a living being, somewhat like the saying "turning beans into soldiers."

In the mortal world, many charlatans who deceive the powerful boast of having the Divine Ability to "turn beans into soldiers."

But most of it is just an illusion!

If such abilities truly exist, they must belong to renowned figures in the cultivation world, such as Zhou Shili, the peak master of the Starry Sky Peak in the Linjiang Sect.

Why bother struggling and earning worldly wealth and silver in the mortal world?

"Why did the peak master pass this technique to me when he didn't even pass it to Lu Ming?"

While Shen Mo was pleasantly surprised, he also had some doubts.

Although the peak master had intended to take him as a direct disciple on the floating stone platform, he never mentioned it after returning from the underground of Tian Shan.

But now, he passed on this technique to Shen Mo, clearly inheriting the mantle of the "Starry Sky Great Hand Seal."

Such an approach truly puzzled Shen Mo!

"Regardless, I should first cultivate this technique to get started."

Shen Mo suppressed his doubts and wore the special destiny [Warrior] while pressing the jade slip against his forehead.

The jade slip had been sealed by the peak master!

Once the technique was memorized with divine consciousness, the jade slip would automatically self-destruct to prevent it from falling into the hands of other cultivators.

"Poof!"

After a while, the jade slip in his hand cracked into two pieces.

Shen Mo shook his head and felt a dizzying headache.

The hand seals, incantations, and methods of manipulating spiritual energy on the "Starry Sky Great Hand Seal" were extremely complex and intricate.

If it weren't for Shen Mo's divine consciousness being stronger than an ordinary Qi Gathering Mid-Stage cultivator, he would probably not be able to smoothly remember all the intricacies.

"Let's begin!"

With one hundred low-grade spirit stones turning into dust and powder.

Shen Mo started to deduce and practice the cultivation of the martial technique!

...

Three days later, Shen Mo flew out of Tian Shan City on the Lightning Sword.

If someone paid close attention, they would notice that his sword shadow sometimes sped up and sometimes slowed down.

When he slowed down, his speed was comparable to that of a late-stage Qi Gathering cultivator!

When he sped up, his figure flickered and appeared in the distance in the blink of an eye.

Like a blue lightning, extremely terrifying!

"As I expected, using the Lightning Sword and the boost of the 'Sword Art of Swift Speed'..."

"With my current flying speed, I can intercept a peak-level Second Stage Demon!"

"Those two demons that escaped won't be so lucky if they encounter me again!"

Thinking this way, Shen Mo had already arrived at the Tian Shan battlefield.

Activating the Flawless Eye, Shen Mo's field of vision expanded infinitely, and he carefully searched.

After a while.

His figure flickered and turned into a stream of light, rushing into the densest area of demonic shadows.

With a wave of his sleeve, seven Dao swords trembled and instantly formed a strict killing formation.

The Red Heaven Flowing Light Gold had been refined into the final sword embryo, and with the complete formation of the Kaiyang Dao Sword, the power of the sword formation multiplied.

However, the consumption of spiritual energy in his body did not increase proportionally!

"Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation. Rotate!"

Shen Mo lightly shouted and manipulated the Dao swords to move to different positions in the formation.

In an instant, terrifying sword light scattered and enveloped all the demons in this area, including dozens of mid-level second-stage demons and over a hundred early-stage second-stage demons. However, under the power of the sword formation, they were all crushed into dust in the next moment.

"Not bad! It's stronger than before, by more than just a little bit," Shen Mo smiled as he put away the sword formation and collected the residual demon auras into his identity jade pendant. These auras were proof of his achievements in demon-slaying.

Not far away, there were many Qi-gathering stage cultivators. While resisting the demons' attacks, they had also killed quite a few demons. Originally, they had planned to completely sweep away the demons in this area, but Shen Mo had intervened. As they were surrounded by the sword light, they felt the pressure lighten and saw that many demons had already been killed. They felt dissatisfied.

They flew over on their swords, wanting to confront Shen Mo and reason with him. "Fellow Daoist, what you did is not very righteous..."

"Ah... it's Senior Brother Shen from the Linjiang Sect!"

They took a closer look and realized it was Shen Mo. They all fell silent and didn't dare to speak recklessly.

"There are plenty of demons, are you afraid you won't have enough to kill?" Shen Mo looked down on their behavior of claiming this territory for themselves.

How could there be such a reason? They were not strong enough to completely eliminate the demons, yet they didn't allow others to come and slay demons.

"Senior Brother Shen is right. We were wrong!"

"Senior Brother, please don't blame us. We, as disciples of a small sect, rarely earn a few spirit stones..."

"We spoke without thinking due to our impatience. Senior Brother, please forgive us!"

Shen Mo didn't dwell on it and turned into a green electric light, disappearing into the distance.

"What a grand display of power! Senior brothers and sisters, is this disciple from the Linjiang Sect a direct disciple of a powerful figure?"

Some of them didn't know Shen Mo well and asked others nearby.

"That's not the case!"

"I haven't heard that Senior Brother Shen has taken a powerful figure as his master."

"But this Senior Brother Shen is extraordinary!"

"At the Tian Shan ceremony, he made a name for himself!"

"Not only did he surpass the newly rising geniuses of the five major sects, but he also climbed to the 736th step during the mountain climbing event."

"For decades, no newly rising disciple of any sect has reached such a height!"

"Furthermore, according to the demon-slaying rankings, he is also in the top three, second only to two peak Qi-gathering stage cultivators."

"If you have such abilities, you can also be so impressive!"

Just as the Golden Toad Tower cultivator was speaking...

Shen Mo's figure had already appeared in the sky above a deserted mountain village on the edge of the demonic calamity, where there were no signs of human activity.

"We meet again, this time, let's see where you can run!"

Inside a large mansion in the village, a second-stage peak native demon with a weak aura was continuously absorbing demonic energy, trying to heal its injuries. This demon was one of the two demons that had been injured by Shen Mo and escaped.

It had managed to avoid the central area of the battlefield and hide in this remote area, intending to recover its strength before continuing to devour delicious cultivators. If it had the chance, it would target powerful individuals that caught its eye.

However, Shen Mo, with his unobstructed divine eye, happened to see its whereabouts.

"Perfect, let me test the power of the Starry Palm Imprint!"

Shen Mo didn't directly use the sword formation, but instead, his hands flew, forming complex hand seals, while he silently recited profound incantations.

"Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, Horn!"

As Shen Mo completed the final hand seal, a dragon-shaped illusion shot out from his hands.

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar shook the heavens.

The huge and ferocious dragon head suddenly lit up, and terrifying thunderous energy filled the air.

It crashed down with a loud boom!
