Chapter 181 A Dream of Yellow Millet: Entering the Dream to Transfer Power, He Receives the Heavenly Pillar-Level True Qi Dao Skill - True Martial Demon Slayer!
Jiangyin Prefectural Courtyard.

Ji Xiu took the divine talisman called 'A Dream of Yellow Millet' from Xu Longxiang's hand.

In an instant.

The 'Primordial Dao Record' in his mind.
Suddenly, it bursts forth with brilliance!

at the same time.

Xu Longxiang originally did not think that Ji Xiu would be able to successfully refine this one-in-a-million 'opportunity'.

But as he watched in disbelief, the jade talisman, which carried the weight of a 'dream of the yellow millet,' its surface as transparent as glass, and bearing the imprint of a yellow butterfly, was instantly grasped by the boy before him.
Suddenly, an unusual phenomenon occurred!

At that moment, the yellow butterfly on it seemed to come alive, fluttering its wings like a mayfly, breaking free from the jade talisman, and in a flash, it went straight into the boy's brow.

Xu Longxiang's eyes narrowed. With his titled cultivation level, he could clearly see that the yellow butterfly's pair of wings, as thin as cicada wings, seemed to encompass the entire universe and carry the meaning of 'time'!
Time, years!
Such a concept is terrifyingly noble within the cultivation concept of 'divine soul'!
Even in the most unfathomable of the heterodox paths, such as the "Crimson Sky Heaven," which is said to be one of the three Heavenly Venerables' teachings, there are the oldest and most profound lineages of giants, whose foundations are even deeper than those of the Great Xuan Heavenly Pillar level overlords.
Supernatural powers that delve into this concept are extremely rare!

The jade talisman that I collected back then, which the entire 'Dragon Elephant True Sect' could not comprehend for decades.
Their background is so impressive!

What surprised Xu Longxiang even more was...
"This kid is actually destined to be connected with this 'Dream of the Yellow Millet,' and is able to inherit the supernatural powers and skills within it?"

The white-haired old man rose from his bed and looked at the young man before him. The 'water ripples' on his forehead hinted at another kind of 'Taoist supernatural power,' which seemed to be related to the waves of the ocean and rivers, and was quite extraordinary.

A moment of surprise, then a deep, thoughtful look appeared in his eyes:
"Another 'Taoist Talisman Technique'. Interesting. It's a method that ordinary people rarely see and find extremely difficult to comprehend, yet this kid has two of them. It's truly unbelievable."

"In the past, there have been many fortunate individuals who were able to access the Jade Record of Supernatural Powers and learn the skills contained within, such as those with the 'Sumeru in a Mustard Seed' and 'enlightened Dao mind'."

"Although it rarely directly enhances the strength of the 'ordained one,' the mysteries involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders and cannot be compared to ordinary martial arts or techniques."

"But even so."

"Those who, like my student, can simultaneously bear two kinds of 'Taoist talismans'"

"In the more than nine hundred years since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, this has never been heard of in any historical record!"

"It seems that this little guy must have his own secret."

"He must have heard from somewhere that I possess a magical jade talisman. I'm afraid he's been plotting something ever since I revealed my identity."

Xu Longxiang stroked his beard and nodded to himself, having almost thoroughly analyzed the ins and outs of the matter.

Even though he had guessed a few clues, the titled Martial Saint's eyes remained clear and bright.

He did not harbor any evil thoughts after guessing the cause and effect, nor did he feel resentful that Ji Xiu coveted the treasure in his hands.

Quite the opposite.

After Xu Longxiang understood the whole story, while Ji Xiu was comprehending the Dao talisman and resonating with it with his eyes closed, Xu Longxiang clapped his hands, his eyes showing satisfaction.
"It's good to have secrets, it's good to have secrets!"

"Those who cultivate themselves in this world are simply walking their own paths and sweeping the snow in front of their own doors."

"But some are born like dragons, blessed with good fortune."

"Or perhaps it was a stroke of great fortune, as if blessed by heaven;"

"Those who can ascend to the Dragon Infant Stele, aren't they all chosen ones of heaven? Before the age of thirty, they overcame all obstacles and broke through the limits of their cultivation. Each and every one of them was ambitious, intending to challenge the Immortals?"

"If you don't have some trump cards up your sleeve..."

"There's no need to go up 'Zhenwu Mountain' then."

Only a despicable person who has not developed their own 'martial will' would covet the treasures of their own disciples and students.

True powerhouses will openly and honestly fight for what they want; if it ends up in the hands of their descendants, that is their good fortune!
Therefore, when Xu Longxiang saw Ji Xiu confidently displaying his supernatural abilities in front of him, he was quite pleased.
He paused briefly, then without hesitation went to the threshold, erecting the illusory image of the 'Primordial Dragon Elephant' to protect him.

A titled Martial Saint who has reached the Upper Three Realms personally oversaw the protection!
Count them all over the entire Jiangyin Prefecture.
There isn't a safe haven like this anywhere!

The ordination recipient has found the 'Dream of the Yellow Millet' Daoist talisman and successfully refined it!

[The Primordial Dao Register has been successfully upgraded!]

[Currently: Tier 3!]

[Currently available advance payment for martial arts and magical techniques: 3!]

[Current Branding Techniques: Searching Mountains and Seas, A Fleeting Dream!]

[Searching for mountains and beaches: 75%!]

[Awakened Talent: Mountain Search (Awakening 'Spiritual Awareness and Qi Observation', practiced to perfection, one can become the master of mountains and rivers, seeing even the darkest nights and poisonous miasma as if it were daytime, able to see through illusions and reach the true nature!)
【Beachcombing (Awakening 'Riding the Waves and Avoiding Water' allows one to walk on rivers as if on flat ground, and swim in the sea like a fish with gills and a water-repelling pearl in its mouth, enabling it to fight in the sea and unleash its full power!)】

[A fleeting dream: 1%!]

[The ordained master's awakened endowment: 'Entering Dreams'.]

[The one who receives the ordination will acquire the "Dream of the Yellow Millet," allowing them to personally enter a dream to deduce and comprehend martial arts and magical arts.]

The more times one practices the "Yellow Millet Dream," the greater one's attainments and insights into martial arts and techniques will be upon waking from the dream.

[Every night, the ordained master can contemplate the 'Dream of the Yellow Millet' once, listening to and participating in the true words of the Great Dao within the dream.]

The more times you contemplate the 'Yellow Millet Dream,' the more real the scenes within it will become, and the more you will gain.

[Once upon a time, there was an ordinary mortal who played chess with an immortal for sixty years. When he stood up, he had already attained the 'Golden Elixir Dao'.]

This is the ultimate scene of the 'Yellow Millet Dream,' where the shackles of worldly concerns are broken, and one's true self is revealed!

A fleeting dream, yet one comprehends martial arts and the ways of the world within it!?

The Primordial Dao Talisman, fused with the 'Yellow Millet Dream' jade talisman, vibrated wildly in Ji Xiu's mind. Simultaneously, the ink-colored seal script that emerged made Ji Xiu fully understand the efficacy of this Dao talisman.

At the same time, Ji Xiu was also constantly guessing in his mind:

“In the past, when the ‘Primordial Dao Register’ was pre-issued, one could only enter the basics at most.”

"Then it takes a lot of hard work to put it into practice and make it perfect before it can be considered completed."

"Now that I have obtained this 'Dream of the Yellow Millet,' can I use my innate abilities to 'enter the dream' and greatly shorten this process?"

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu's mind stirred, and the advance list of the 'Primordial Dao Talisman' immediately appeared in his divine sea:
[Currently available advance payment for martial arts and magical techniques: 3.]

[Currently, martial arts and magical techniques have been pre-funded: 1.]

[Rule Fire: (488/800)! 】

[By using one's own body as a seed, imprinted upon the divine sea, and refined to perfection, one can condense a 'Divine Talisman Fire Seed'. With a single thought, the divine soul can ignite flames in an empty room, burning away all mortal objects;]

[One can use 'Divine Flame' as an anchor point to unleash 'A Dream of Yellow Millet' and comprehend its profound mysteries.]

When the Primordial Dao Register is completed.

Ji Xiu has mastered the entire background and origins of the supernatural skill 'A Dream of Yellow Millet'!
At that moment, he could clearly feel it.

As long as you activate your innate ability 'Enter the Dream'.

Then one can use the 'Divine Talisman Fire' as an anchor point to go and improve one's magical skills.

I just don't know if this so-called 'entering a dream' is related to the immortals who pioneered this Taoist art?

If we could make contact, even if we only got a glimpse of it, that would be an extraordinary achievement!
After all, this 'Divine Talisman Fire' is a treasure of the Marquis of Beicang's mansion, ranked at the 'Daoist level', and has a connection with true supernatural powers.

Even among the arts, techniques, and skills, it is at the highest level, second only to those orthodox unorthodox secret minor and major supernatural abilities!

A person who can personally create such a method.
I wonder if he is a renowned contemporary 'real person'?

Ji Xiu thought to himself as he opened his eyes.

"woke up?"

Hearing the commotion, Xu Longxiang withdrew the true essence of the Martial Saint 'Primordial Dragon Elephant', turned his back, and warned in a slightly serious tone: "You kid are really hiding your true strength. You actually managed to gain the favor of the 'Dao Talisman' bestowed by Heaven and Earth. You're not simple."

"I'm telling you, from now on, in front of outsiders, never tell him that you can study two different Taoist practices at the same time, understand?"

"The water patterns on your forehead must be a skill brought by a Daoist talisman, and it should be an important asset you've relied on since your rise to power, right?"

"Remember, only do this if absolutely necessary later."

Do not reveal to others the 'dream of the yellow millet' that you have just realized.

"It's alright that only I know this today."

"But if some people with ulterior motives find out and want to uncover your secrets, then things will get complicated."

Xu Longxiang's expression was stern.

Originally, Ji Xiu had hoped to gain Xu Longxiang's greater respect by comprehending this 'Dao Talisman,' but upon hearing this, he pondered for a moment:
"Does the master mean that there has never been anyone before who could comprehend two Dao talismans simultaneously?"

Xu Longxiang slowly shook his head:
"Before the eight dynasties, the details are unknown."

"But in the more than nine hundred years since the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty, there has never been such an example."

These two short sentences sent a chill down Ji Xiu's spine, and he memorized them firmly.

He had previously gained the attention of the garrison general and the Beicang Marquis's mansion by comprehending the "searching mountains and catching the sea" technique.

If he hadn't used this as a stepping stone and a springboard for advancement, his trip to the 'prefectural city' would have been fraught with unexpected twists and turns.

Therefore, out of habit, Ji Xiu also wanted to demonstrate some of his abilities to Xu Longxiang, hoping he would increase his leverage, but he didn't expect...
Has there never been anyone in the Great Xuan Dynasty who could master two different Daoist arts at the same time?

Searching mountains and catching the sea, and the dream of the Yellow Millet—these two supernatural skills are quite practical and greatly helpful to his cultivation.

If we could add more and find more, we could allow the 'Primordial Dao Register' to continue its advancement.
He had no idea just how terrifying he could be!
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Xu Longxiang noticed his expression and couldn't help but chuckle softly:
"You're really greedy, kid. You haven't even finished eating what's in your mouth, and you're already thinking about what's in the pot."

“These Daoist talismans are extremely rare. Even if some exist in the Heavenly Pillars and Great Chambers, they have all been deciphered by disciples and clansmen with affinity throughout the ages, and none have been left behind.”

"You're incredibly lucky to have gotten two!"

"In spiritual practice, remember to be down-to-earth and avoid being overly ambitious."

"Alright, go and study your profound techniques. I visited your school before and was tricked by your grandmaster. I'm still injured and haven't had time to recuperate."

"go Go."

Xu Longxiang waved his hand, intending to return to his seated position on the couch, but then, as if remembering something, he pulled out a roll of 'ivory paper' from his sleeve:
"By the way, this is for you."

Ji Xiu instinctively reached out and took it, but upon closer inspection, his eyes immediately narrowed:
"This is."

Xu Longxiang seems to be casually speaking, word by word:
"Qi, Dao, Zhen, Gong".

True Qi Path Skill!

Ji Xiu was no stranger to this concept.

To be honest, he has now donned the immortal robes and completed the cultivation of the power gate. If he didn't pursue the three limits, he could immediately begin his sprint towards becoming a 'Master of Qi Refining'!

The so-called master of Qi cultivation.

The first level is known as the 'Qi Sea Realm'.

The Qi Sea is divided into three levels and nine grades. What kind of Qi Sea one can condense depends entirely on the martial artist's 'True Qi Cultivation Skill' and the foundation he has laid during his strength training.

And since ancient times.

Those who are granted titles must be certified as being of the highest rank, the top three grades!
The Four Limits, the Superior Qi Sea!

Including the subsequent Dragon Tiger and Leakless, one must take it one step at a time; otherwise, there is no hope of being granted a title!
If one wishes to cultivate to the 'Upper Three Ranks', one must generate the corresponding Qi Sea Qi.

The true skill of cultivating Qi must be of high quality.

Ji Xiu's master, Duan Chenzhou, had been delayed back then. The true skill of Qi cultivation he practiced was the 'Zixia Secret Manual' that he had taken from the previous Zixia Martial Arts Hall master.

The 'True Qi Cultivation Techniques' in the world are not much different in rank from secret martial arts, and can be categorized into the following levels:
[Everyone, Lipai, Zhenzong! 】

Among them, the Great Master level mostly opens the lower third grade Qi Sea Qi, which is considered slightly rudimentary. Cultivators can only barely break through the bottleneck, and often their true qi is weak and their Qi is faint, making it difficult to continue to make any progress.

Those who break through the bottleneck by establishing their own sect and achieve success naturally can generally be ranked in the middle level, and some outstanding ones can even achieve the third rank of the superior level!

For example, Ji Xiu's master, Duan Chenzhou, by breaking through the three limits of his body and cultivating the sect-level 'Purple Cloud Secret Manual', forcibly obtained a superior second-grade Qi Sea and is expected to become a Martial Saint!

Above the Founding Sect level is the 'True Sect level'.

Martial artists who cultivate the True Sect-level Qi Dao True Skill can, barring any accidents, condense a third-grade Qi Sea. The 'True Qi' and 'Aura' they generate are quite formidable as soon as they step into this realm, truly displaying the demeanor of a master.

Unlike secret martial arts, the 'True Qi Path Technique' truly determines the foundation of a sect. It is usually passed down with utmost care and is a level higher than secret martial arts.

After all, martial arts are for protecting the Way.

But the true essence of Qi cultivation lies in its fundamental nature!

Therefore, when true disciples receive the teachings, they usually make a solemn vow that they can only cultivate the methods themselves for the rest of their lives and must not reveal them to others.

Otherwise, after their grandmaster Wang Xuanyang disappeared, their master wouldn't have bothered to steal other families' established-level true skills; he was forced into it.

After all, the techniques hidden in the Heavenly Blade Style are only rudimentary methods, and naturally cannot compare to the Purple Cloud Secret Manual, which is only a step away from the 'True Sect Level'.

Ji Xiu never expected that his master would be so generous, giving him a scroll of 'True Qi Cultivation Technique' right off the bat!
"Master, is this the inheritance you spoke of, the supreme martial art of our 'Dragon Elephant True Sect'?!"

Ji Xiu rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement. He couldn't wait to pay his respects to that 'Master Xie's wife' and obtain the complete Feathered Immortal Robe from her. Then, as the saying goes, "time is of the essence," he thought, "break through your life limit and start learning it."

However, upon hearing his words, Xu Longxiang merely smiled faintly and shook his head:

"If it is merely the true lineage of the 'Dragon and Elephant' school, the 'True Qi Technique' is usually bestowed upon me using the True Sect level technique that I personally developed, but..."

He paused here, then unfolded the 'elephant scroll.' Ji Xiu stared at it intently, his breath catching in his throat:
"This is."

I followed his gaze.

It can be clearly seen that:
[True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Skill!]

[Rank: Celestial Pillar Level!]

"As a disciple of my lineage, I must naturally cultivate the top-level secret techniques of 'True Martial Mountain,' otherwise, how will I ascend True Martial Mountain in the future and contend with the Heavenly Pillar Walker?!"

"In this world, besides the three levels of Qi Dao True Skills: 'Master,' 'School,' and 'True Sect,' there is another kind, which is the 'Qi Dao True Skill' that directly points to the prelude of the highest chapter."

"And these true skills have another name!"

"That's... a Heavenly Pillar level!"

Xu Longxiang's eyes shone with arrogance:
"Such a method, even if we include the Great Xuan Dynasty and the previous nine dynasties, is extremely rare in the vast nine thousand years."

“Even among the children of wealthy families, not every family possesses such ‘true skill’!”

"If you can receive this method, and coupled with your own ambition to break through the three limits, the aura of your condensed Qi Sea will be..."

"It must be the 'pinnacle'!"

"After that, keep striving, accumulating knowledge and experience until the final moment when all the accumulated knowledge and experience is fully utilized."

"Sufficient to condense the most outstanding 'Martial Arts Body,' possessing the potential to ascend the 'Young Dragon Stele'!!"
