Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"You flatter me, Lord. The fellow Daoists are quite good. They just need to go out and explore more."

The porter was very modest, saying it was just the path he had taken to get here, and if he could walk it, others could too.

“That’s right, you’re absolutely right. We should go out and explore more. News from the three Divine Lords is an opportunity.”

Lord Taishan said.

The Taishan Realm naturally learned of the news spread by the Lord of All Beings.

Killing a saint is somewhat offensive to them.

Although he is a saint who has fallen into demonic possession, he is still a saint after all, and one has no choice but to accept it.

"Your Majesty is wise. This is a great opportunity to let the world know that there are good and bad among the holy, and that the holy are divided into camps. We are the holy beings of light who protect all living beings, and those who have fallen into demonic ways are not our kind."

The porter was very supportive; he had finally understood.

Don't be stubborn, don't be defiant, just follow the world's trend, you can't go wrong.

Look at the rising forces and individuals; they are all following the general trend.

Anyone who goes against the trend is long gone. Whether you're a human being or a saint, you need to see clearly the general trend.

Following the general trend of the main world is always the right thing to do.

The reason why our own Mount Tai territory cannot compare with the two temples of civil and military affairs is that we did not follow the general trend before.

Although they did not oppose the general trend, they believed that if they did not move forward, they would fall behind.

Those who follow along will fall behind if they don't keep up, let alone if they are ignored.

If you want to make progress, follow the trend.

What's wrong with slaying a demonic saint?
He himself was not a deity who had fallen into demonic possession; he was a member of the core lineage of the Xuanhuang Dao Master, not a demon who had fallen into demonic possession.

“You’re absolutely right. The existence of those scoundrels will only diminish our luck, or waste it. They must die, or be cut off from us.”

The Lord of Mount Tai nodded; he too needed to make changes.

As the mighty Emperor of the Eastern Peak and Lord of Mount Tai, holding the most righteous and highest divine position in the human world, how could I allow anyone to look down upon me?

I must catch up. The Emperor of Fengdu and the Goddess of the Azure Clouds are very supportive of me. It's rare for them to be united like this. I must make something of myself.

I'll also get used to this world teeming with "Scroll Kings" (a term referring to powerful and influential figures in the game), because I'll be competing with them from now on, and I won't be able to resist being a "Scroll King" even if I don't want to.

"Go and prepare. Once you are ready, I, Bixia Yuanjun, and the Great Emperor of Fengdu will pray for you."

"Thank you, Lord Xie; thank you, Lady Yuanjun; thank you, Emperor Fengdu."

The porter expressed his gratitude.

The so-called blessing is an insurance policy, an insurance policy that ensures one will not be punished by the Taishan domain after successfully integrating with the supernatural.

After all, the fundamental will of the Mount Tai realm is ultimately one of the common desires of all the deities within the realm. As long as the deities are united, it is possible to change some of the rules within the realm.

Furthermore, although the porter has found his own path, he has no intention of giving up his sacred identity.

This identity will be extremely important to him in the future.

Thinking about my fellow Daoists, such as Zuo Qiuming, none of them gave up their divine avatars within the realm, and that's why.

Divinity has many flaws, but these flaws only apply to pure divinity.

Being half-saint and half-monk is an advantage.

Even if one is not a saint, one still has the cultivation level of a fourth-order true king, and possesses all the necessary insights into profound mysteries.

These are merely the insights gained by those who achieve sainthood and become kings, ranging from three thousand to thirty thousand. They are not as powerful as the insights gained by those who truly cultivate, who are abnormal and start at thirty thousand.

You can gain insights from three thousand to thirty thousand without having to worry about it yourself; having some is better than having none.

With such a starting point, not to mention that there are no obstacles below the fourth tier, even the insights gained in the later stages of the third tier will have a good starting point.

In short, once you become a semi-divine, semi-true cultivator, it means you have achieved enlightenment.

I've become the kind of Taoist master.

It's really done; it's not some strange "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" phenomenon.

Therefore, he would try every means to preserve the sacred divided spirit, because with the divided spirit, his progress would be very rapid.

Moreover, he started at the third level, unlike Zuo Qiuming and the others who gradually cultivated from the first level.

The reason still lies in the change of environment.

In short, his current environment is much better than when Zuo Qiuming and his team started.

The porter was peculiar; he was someone the Lord of Mount Tai had personally requested for him after much inquiry. He came from a region in Sichuan and Chongqing.

It is an anomaly within a medium-sized realm.

The supernatural is almost extinct in the main world; the only ones that have survived are in the various realms.

The mountain porter spent a long time searching for this suitable eerie creature, or rather, his own destined eerie creature.

However, the weird things are all disgusting. This porter weird is a third-level weird, in the shape of a peddler. As long as someone sees it, their head will be separated from their body and become a product for sale in the porter's carrying pole.

It will turn into various kinds of fruit. Once someone buys it, it will be exchanged for one. If you buy my head, you can take your head too. It will automatically become a new 'fruit' in the porter's strange carrying pole.

It is a very terrifying and bizarre situation.

Fortunately, this strange creature exists only in the realm. If it were to appear in a bustling city, everyone who saw it would die as soon as it walked by carrying its load.

They become the fruit in its load, and the heavier the porter's strange load, the more fruit it carries, and the stronger the porter's strangeness becomes.

Without Xuanhuang, this would be a world rife with strange and bizarre occurrences.

This bizarre mass extermination is absolutely a disaster.

Although the strange occurrences are now a thing of the past, they only occurred within the territory of Xia Kingdom.

Beyond the world, and in the wider universe, other planets teeming with life remain rife with strange and bizarre occurrences.

Ten years of strange occurrences, a hundred years of genuine cultivation. Over the past hundred years, especially those born in the last seventy years, have forgotten what the strange occurrences were like. If their elders hadn't mentioned them, they would have thought it was just a scare tactic.

Oh, and there are still some strange things in the small worlds that haven't yet merged into the main world.

However, compared to the main world, the strange things in the small world are very few.

Just like the Blood Moon World, there's only one eerie blood moon.

Unlike in the main world, the supernatural has lost all its influence.

The mountain porter is sacred, without any supernatural abilities. His essence comes from the realm, and his supernatural power is the strength to carry mountains.

It's a very ordinary ability.

It all depends on whether the realm is willing to open up its source for him to use.

If the source of the realm is unwilling to supply energy, his ability to lift mountains will be greatly reduced.

But once his plan succeeds and incorporates the porter's strange abilities, then the porter's strange abilities will become his new supernatural powers, just like truly cultivating strange abilities.

The porter's strange abilities are quite varied, as they are fragments of rules, involving a little bit of everything.

For example, a very common eerie phenomenon can absorb fear and become stronger.

Its most important ability is that the more heads it carries, the more its weight increases, which in turn tempers the porter's strange body, making it stronger.

Furthermore, once a human head is placed in his carrying pole, it becomes a puppet controlled by the porter.

Imagine a seemingly small but ocean-like box from which countless heads keep emerging, and these heads will become puppets.

With more puppets, the porter's control over his soul will be enhanced autonomously.

This porter is quite strange; he can not only continuously strengthen his physical body, but also his soul.

The physical body is like a tower of flesh and blood; the more people who die at his hands, the more each person adds to the tower of flesh and blood.

The souls are like the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; the souls of the dead will enter the banner, and the more souls in the banner, the stronger it will become.

It is a rare and precious phenomenon in the eyes of cultivators. Once the mountain porter merges with one's own body, it is equivalent to gaining two innate supernatural abilities: one that can melt all things to strengthen the physical body, and the other that can melt the soul to strengthen the divine soul.

There's a reason why the porters have been searching for so long.

The purpose is to find the strongest or the most suitable supernatural entity to merge with.

They're all porters, it's a perfect fit.

If the fusion is successful, one's true cultivation level will leap significantly to the third rank, potentially even surpassing the current mainstream second-rank level among cultivators.

However, it wasn't without its price.

The price is that you will stay in the third tier for a very, very long time.

It requires careful digestion and integration of the strange elements, and a perfect fusion process must be achieved without leaving any hidden dangers.

In addition, the third stage involves developing techniques for the first to third stages.

It's like crossing a huge distance right from the start, but it takes a long time to digest.

This is what he wants. So what if he stays at the third tier for a long time? It doesn't mean he's not improving. He can just wait for everyone at the third tier. At least he can guarantee that he will be at the peak as soon as he comes up.

If this method had been used decades ago, even Zuo Qiuming, Lü Dongbin, Peng Yue, and others would have envied it.

There are advantages to being late; lateness represents a more mature world.

……

With the assurance of the Lord of Mount Tai, the porters left.

He needed some time to settle his affairs and bid farewell to his fellow Daoists in the realm. From then on, he would be a half-saint, half-true cultivator.

In addition, one point of distraction remains.

This clone doesn't need to be very strong; even a first-tier or entry-level clone will suffice.

If one's true self dies unexpectedly, the remaining avatar will be elevated to its original level by the origin of the realm.

Reviving a deity within the realm is within its capabilities and is easy for the realm to do.

Then, one's true self will unexpectedly 'resurrect' after fusing with the strange entity.

Origin of the Boundary: ? ? ?
Wasn't my son dead? How did he come back to life? He didn't die in that wicked man's realm, and he even changed, becoming someone this realm hates?
This is how to do?
Then the Lord of Mount Tai and others offered prayers.

Regardless of whether things have changed or not, just say whether it's a new path or a new method.

Upon reflection, Jieyu realized that it was indeed a new civilization and new laws. By refining his mortal enemy, he didn't seem to have suffered any loss.

Let's leave it at that and treat it as an accident.

Then the rules will be modified so that this loophole will be closed in the future, or people will have to pay a price to take this route.

Once that's done, the mountain porters will be formed.

The divided spirit was elevated to the level it would have been at if nothing had gone wrong, and it gained an additional, strangely integrated main body.

This original being had its own energy source, and the strange refinement it underwent the development of supernatural powers and a dantian, thus giving rise to a true cultivation world school.

The porters went to great lengths to avoid paying a price.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the other hand, many other realms share the same idea as Lord Taishan, including the nine families.

Choosing to follow the trend, not wanting to be left behind.

Therefore, the king returned to the realm and completed his report.

The nine realms began to take action, dispatching the unsealed kings.

Encountering a demonic saint is even better; kill them to gain merit and simultaneously distance yourself from them.

It's okay if you don't meet the right person. Go out more, don't let your mind become rusty. If you want to change, go with the flow.

For a time, many true cultivators witnessed this magnificent scene.

From the nine most powerful realms, kings began to travel the mortal world in groups.

Under the banner of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, they began to slay demons and monsters.

"Oh no, the kill-stealer is here."

Sun Hui thought to himself, "This is bad."

Yan Lai learned about the shortcomings of the sacred from the Confucian Temple, and Sun Hui also learned this information from the Martial Temple.

They were more decisive, planning to kill a saint as a farewell feast, to show everyone that they had once been glorious.

But as the kings of the nine top realms traveled to the mortal world, he discovered that there were people stealing kills from them.

"What kind of world is this? People are even fighting over the kill of a fourth-tier saint. This world is too crazy."

Sun Hui complained.

The high-ranking members of the Martial Arts Alliance were also dumbfounded.

They encountered the same situation; the Martial Arts Alliance was not immune to corruption, and it also had many malignant tumors within itself.

There are also many 'old guards' who occupy high positions who want the headquarters to contribute so they can reap the benefits and gain merit to become gods.

They also made a fuss, and Sun Hui and Yan Lai made similar choices, planning to go all out one last time.

Then it was announced that the Martial Arts Alliance would henceforth only be the nominal headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the separation was successful.

"Alliance Leader, it seems we need to hurry," Wu Gang said.

"Yes, we need to hurry, but don't rush. Don't let the rush ruin our plans. We still have a great advantage. Although we can't compare to the Realm in terms of combat power alone, our reach extends to every aspect of the main world. That's our advantage."

“The realm saints need to spend time finding the saints who have been corrupted by demons, but we don’t need to. We can just choose the one that is most suitable to take action.”

"Yes."

"Having been in business for so long, we still have this advantage."

"Correct!"

This is the advantage of the Martial Arts Alliance, including the other three superpowers.

They have a map that shows the locations of many marked demonic holy realms; you just need to follow the path to find them.

Unlike the sacred beings of the Nine Realms, finding fellow demons requires luck.

"Which one do you think we should choose?" Sun Hui asked.

"Alliance Leader, why don't we choose from the top one hundred, as Mr. Paper suggested?"

"Top 100?" Sun Hui hesitated.

The Martial Arts Alliance has three great masters, and the paper, pen, and chair that Xuanhuang used when he was in the Martial Arts Alliance are mentioned.

Don't underestimate these three.

Just like the concept that has been mentioned many times, they also have conceptual abilities. After all, none of those related to Xuanhuang are simple.

The same applies to the three great gentlemen.

Mr. Paper is not only highly capable, but also possesses many auxiliary abilities. For example, he can use his abilities to manifest the trajectory of fate in his physical form.

The most sinful and demonic deity can be sensed by Him and then manifested in His true form.

……

P.S.: When I was harvesting corn in my hometown, I didn't have to worry about it when my dad was alive. But after he passed away, I realized there were so many things to do, and farm work was one of them.

Next year will be better. I won't let my mom farm anymore, or she'll only farm a very small amount, and I can manage on my own.

We've encountered the lingering heat of late summer, with temperatures reaching 37 or 38 degrees Celsius. This year's weather is so strange, it's unbearably hot. (End of Chapter)
