Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 186 The Three Limits of the Physical Body: The Impermanence of the Four Seasons! Advance Payment of the True Martial World-Suppressing and Demon-Subduing Profound Technique!
The room was clean and spotless, with the first rays of dawn breaking through the window and shining on the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed.

At this moment, after a whole night of swallowing and transformation.

Ji Xiu used the earth treasures as consumables, absorbing all the 'nutrients' within them like a whale swallowing the ocean!

At the same time, it was visible to the naked eye that the crimson fairy robe, which was originally cultivated through the 'Rainbow Robe Scroll' and thus refined and tempered with the purest energy, was as thin as a cicada's wing.
It is gradually condensing into purple essence!
As his breathing became even, the surging power within his bones and tendons converged at a single point, relentlessly washing over the surface of his skin, tightly binding this final barrier of his body, and then—

Like stars in the sky, they adorned the 'purple celestial robe' that Ji Xiu was wearing, adding color as if adding the finishing touch to a painting!

From then on, spring, autumn, winter, and summer, cold and heat, four completely different elements that could never be combined were forged together on this immortal garment, transforming into inherent characteristics and being completely imprinted!

Purple ribbon fairy robe!

call! !

Ji Xiu let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

He gently raised his arm.

It can be clearly seen that a purple celestial robe adorned with 'stars' is draped over his body, covering his entire body.

I have come this far through countless dangers and hardships.
In the end, the three restrictions were broken.

Stab it!

As Ji Xiu thought this, he simultaneously raised his other hand.

Immediately, a wisp of crimson fire shot out from his fingertip, a Daoist technique refined from the 'divine talisman fire seed' he visualized in his Niwan acupoint.

Only by 'merging form and refining soul', burning away all mortal things, and forging one's own pure energy until the qi and blood are like smoke and the bones and blood are boiling, can one be qualified to unleash the 'Daoist level' true technique.

With a tentative mindset, Ji Xiu flicked his finger and caused the 'divine talisman flame' to ignite a corner of the sleeve of his purple immortal robe.

instantly!

As the crackling crimson flames gradually climbed up the half-sleeve of the garment, like a floodgate being opened, they surged higher and higher, almost spreading out and completely engulfing that corner of the sleeve.
Wow!
The star-shaped markings adorning that layer of 'purple celestial robe' suddenly flickered and burst forth with a dense chill!
It even made the whole room feel like the cold winter season at the end of the year, causing a thin layer of frost to cover the teacups, and the tea that was originally at room temperature to freeze into ice crystals!
[The recipient of the ordination has perfected the 'Immortal Robe of Ascension,' having cultivated four volumes within it, fully grasping its essence and glimpsing its true meaning. There is no further advancement beyond this superficial understanding!]

[The one who received the ordination broke through the third 'secret' of the human body, acquiring the physical characteristics of an immortal's robe, 'unpredictable through the four seasons'!]

[Physical Characteristics: Impermanent with the Four Seasons]

The universe cycles and changes; spring, autumn, winter, and summer; earth, water, fire, and wind—this is the natural order.

The Immortal Robe of Ascension was created by observing the remains of a Human Immortal. Human Immortals possess their own internal cycle of reincarnation, allowing them to traverse the heavens as a vessel, unburdened by shackles or constraints.

The master bestowed the 'essence of earthly treasures' upon it, allowing it to glimpse a wisp of the true nature of a human immortal. Through the perfect completion of the three 'secret treasures' of muscles, bones, and skin, it established a small cycle of physical reincarnation!

From this day forward, whether I achieve the status of a Qi Refining Master or a Titled Martial Artist, with a thousand techniques and myriad supernatural powers, clad in immortal robes, I will be impervious to fire and water, and even the frost that forms upon water!

As the divine talisman fire spread inch by inch, it was completely extinguished by the frost that formed on the 'purple sash immortal robe'.

Ji Xiu seemed to understand something.

He had seen ordinary purple-robed immortals before, but those who had broken through the three limits were not uncommon.

Since ascending the 'Martial Arts Tower' in Jiangyin Prefecture, after those eighty or ninety steps, every prefecture-level genius and sage he encountered was, without exception, someone who had broken through the three limits.

If one wishes to climb to a higher level, then refining a Dao-grade Immortal Robe and subsequently advancing to the Purple Ribbon is a necessary condition.

Even if their cultivation of the Skin Gate Great Skill is of an extraordinary grade, enough to allow them to break through the secrets of their physical bodies.

But those people
But none of them possessed the same unique characteristics as myself.

It should be noted that, whether they are Qi cultivators or high-level Taoist masters, after their advancement, the vast majority of the 'secret weapons' and 'techniques' they activate with true qi and magic power have attributes.

It's either gold essence, divine fire, spiritual water, or fierce winds.

Furthermore, its characteristic of 'unpredictability throughout the four seasons' means that when the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe comes into contact with the secret weapon, it will encounter fire and water, or water and frost, forming a concept of mutual generation and restraint, which will greatly reduce the power of the secret weapon and magic!

Others who achieve the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe are only at the level of a martial arts master, where they can look down upon all heroes.

However, he could rely on this characteristic. If he continued to advance, he could use this immortal robe to reduce the power of martial saint inheritances and immortal divine abilities by half when he fought against them in the future.
That's enough to reach the heavens!

Those who obtain the three restrictions only gain temporary benefits.

However, his own 'Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe' is a rare and valuable item with growth potential, which is uncommon in the world!

"I don't know, but all martial artists who have mastered the 'Immortal Robe' and broken through the three limits can obtain this 'Four Seasons Unpredictable' characteristic."

"It was only by relying on the Primordial Dao Talisman and cultivating it to its fullest extent that I was fortunate enough to successfully construct this small cycle of physical reincarnation and bring it into my possession."

Ji Xiu licked his lips, thinking to himself.

At the same time, one can't help but feel a sense of regret that ordinary martial artists, without resources, rely on various methods of self-refinement to hone their skills day by day in order to make progress.

Those who were better off, those with some wealth, would consume ordinary elixirs made primarily from fragments of earthly treasures, and diligently cultivate.

If one is not born into a powerful family or a prominent family in Xuanjing, which wealthy person could be like me, using earthly treasures to solidify the foundation of each realm and nourish the muscles and skin to reach where I am today?

Golden skin and jade-like veins, mercury-rich blood and silver marrow, purple ribbon and fairy robes!
Now, all three limitations of the physical body have been overcome.

What's left in front of me.
That leaves only one option: 'Master of Qi Cultivation'!

"There are still one or two months until the 'Jiangyin Prefecture Examination'. I've heard that every 'Prefecture Examination' is a joint selection of the top talents from the seven prefectures under Cangdu, and it is held at a 'Boundary Gate'."

"At the same time, there are also some 'noble families' and 'military nobles' who are qualified without entering the government offices, totaling about several dozen people."

“Each of them is basically an outstanding member of their generation. I’ve heard that among those who have participated in previous generations, there have always been those who have become ‘masters of Qi cultivation’!”

"But in the end, only about five or six people were selected from this trial. The other dozens were basically eliminated. It was incredibly cruel."

"And there are many benefits to becoming a 'prefectural official'."

"Take the thirty-six trades in Jiangyin Prefecture for example. The reason why each major trade was able to establish its business is because its ancestor once held the position of 'prefectural official', which is why it has this privilege."

"If you don't pass the exam to become a prefectural official, you either join a martial arts school or open a martial arts school on Dojo Street to earn some martial arts resources. The difference between the two is obvious."

"I've heard that if one can win the top spot in a prefecture, one will have the opportunity to enter 'Cangdu,' where one will not only receive a great gift but also receive offers of help from various powerful forces."

"Although the specific details are unknown, it's clear that so many people are flocking to it."

"No matter what, we have to fight for it!"

Ji Xiu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

He took out his treasured "True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Skill".

[True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Skill]

[Rank: Celestial Pillar]

[Advance payment condition: Only by vanquishing all demons and monsters can the boundless power of my path be revealed!]

[The method established by the First Ancestor of Zhenwu Mountain is magnificent and unparalleled in its power. Based on 'purging heretics,' the more demons, monsters, ghosts, monsters, immortals, Buddhas, gods, and saints are eliminated, the more perfect the accumulated energy becomes, and the faster the progress!]

[Upon completion, one can break through the bottleneck and, based on this, unleash the full potential of the Qi Sea!] [Note: Practicing this technique will advance one's cultivation level, and in the future, may allow one to break through the fourth major limit, the True Martial Primordial Embryo of the 'Martial Dao Treasure Body'!]

A master of Qi cultivation, at the pinnacle of Qi Sea, the fourth major limit, the Martial Arts Treasure Body!
Ji Xiu had heard these words many times, but only this time did he truly grasp their meaning.

Before he came into contact with martial arts, he had heard Duan Chenzhou say that in order to achieve 'titled martial arts', one must cultivate the four major limits, which is the most basic requirement.

The first three limitations, perhaps, can be built up step by step with resources and talent; it's just a matter of time.

But once one enters the 'Master of Qi Refining' stage...
Let's not talk about the fifth major limit of no leakage, or the sixth major limit of dragon and tiger!

The conditions for achieving the first threshold of "Master of Qi Refining"—the Qi Sea Realm—and thus creating this Martial Arts Body are extremely demanding!
If one does not cultivate a 'True Sect Level' Qi Dao True Skill and build a Qi Sea of ​​the Upper Three Grades, then cultivating a Martial Dao Treasure Body is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even if one can achieve this, the Martial Arts Body has different levels, which is the key to a martial artist being able to rival those gods, demons, and celestial beings.

Only by cultivating the highest level of martial arts body can one achieve a physical body as strong as a dragon or elephant.

Only when they cultivate the titled martial arts in the future will they be able to straighten their bones and muscles, and like Xu Longxiang, uphold the true meaning of the Martial Saint, and then have the power to move mountains and overturn seas!
Spiritual practice is like climbing a mountain, with each step presenting a new challenge.

Once you overcome this hurdle, the world beyond becomes even more vast and captivating!

Therefore, after breaking the three restrictions, Ji Xiu's goal became clearer.

First, cultivate the "True Martial World-Suppressing and Demon-Subduing Profound Art," then supplement it with the "Immortal Rank Chapter." Once your martial arts and spiritual essence both advance, you will reach the level of "Master of Qi Refining" and "True Daoist Skill."
Then, a month or two later, with unparalleled strength, they will enter the prefectural examination. At that time, they will become one of the eighteen regional military governorships in the world, and the vast eastern sea stretching for eight thousand miles!
Who else but me!?
"Give me the Primordial Dao Register in advance!"

Advance payment of the "True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Skill" has been successful!

【True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mystic Art: (1/3000)!】

[After completing the main cultivation of the ordination, one can condense the Qi Sea Qi of 'Jiazi Demon Suppression'!]

[Advance payment conditions: Only by vanquishing all demons and monsters can the boundless power of my path be revealed. Each time a heretic is destroyed or suppressed, progress in cultivation will increase!]

The cultivation conditions for the Immortals Chapter are to accumulate knowledge day by day and hone it little by little with comprehension. Therefore, the Daoist supernatural power 'Yellow Millet Dream' can be used as an aid.

But this True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Art
However, he was down-to-earth, taking one step at a time, relying solely on killing to increase his cultivation level, without any shortcuts!
And this is the 'Qi Sea Weather'!
It is precisely because the Qi Sea atmosphere opened by each generation and each martial artist is different, and the path is also different.

According to the statistics of the Great Xuan, from the first to the ninth rank, not counting previous dynasties, there are as many as 48,000 types!

With so many paths as numerous as the stars, it's no wonder that so many martial artists have been able to suppress the 'Gate of Boundaries,' preventing heretics from infiltrating for nine hundred years and thus preventing them from truly setting foot in this territory!

Examine the skills and principles you have already acquired.

[Rule Fire: (488/800)]

[Upon successful completion, one can condense a 'seed of Daoist magic'!]

[One can enter a dreamlike state, like a fleeting dream, and gain enlightenment from it.]

【The Six Chapters of Mysterious Lord's Secret Records - Chapter on Immortals: (1/900)】

[Upon completion, one can open up the Purple Mansion!]

[One can enter a dreamlike state, like a fleeting dream, and gain enlightenment from it.]

【True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mystic Art: (1/3000)】

[Having cultivated to the level of a master of Qi Refining, one's Qi Sea will be able to "subdue demons for sixty years"!]

Looking at these three categories: Law, Skill, and Martial Arts.

Ji Xiu drew a conclusion.

First, go to the mansion and rent a 'Divine Soul Cultivation Room'. There, you can use your Dream-Entering Talent to comprehend the true meaning of 'Divine Talisman Fire'!
Then, after paying respects to his master Xu Longxiang, he first led him to find the remains of Senior Ip Man Jiang that he had collected years ago. Then, following his method, he went to find a sect to cleanse the heretics and advance to the level of a master!

Finally, in this process, I will gradually comprehend the Chapter on Immortals and strive to achieve perfection in all paths by the time the 'Prefectural Examination' arrives!

As for the Taoist priest who had previously promised his master Xu Longxiang that he would use his supernatural ability, 'Six Lines Divination,' to predict his fate once.
Ji Xiu pondered that the Taoist priest must be related to his younger sister, who was currently staying at Feixian Temple to study Taoist arts and cultivate.

If you have some free time, you can also do the math and see.
What is my destiny?
Feixian Temple in Jiangyin.

On a flying boat.

Born into the True Palace of the 'Ten Thousand Laws Sect' and possessing the supernatural power of 'Six Lines Divination', Daoist Chijing looked at the purple-robed youth beside him, who was dejected, lost in thought, and had been in a daze for a long time. He was disappointed and gave him a lecturing look:
"Look, I told you years ago that as long as you can endure it, you will definitely have a chance to be 'titled' in the future!"

"So, how did this go?"

"Your foundation was shattered by a Martial Saint, and your fate was altered. The 'Martial Saint's prediction' that you were supposed to have is now becoming nothing but a mirage!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Changkong's lips moved, but after a long while, he felt an unbearable tightness in his chest:

"Even I didn't expect this."

"How could it be so bizarre!"

Even now, Wei Changkong still finds it unbelievable.

For the past ten or twenty years, no matter how these schools and major sects challenged the declining Heavenly Blade School, Chen He was always humble and yielding.

This time, however, he didn't retreat an inch and even unleashed the peak strength of a sect master, second only to these old dragon and tiger relics!
I thought that would be the end of it, and even if things got complicated, what could happen?
Such a being, even with some effort, is not impossible to kill.

To his utter surprise, the outcome was...
Wang Xuanyang!
That guy actually came back, which scared him so much that he almost lost his mind and turned around and left.

Fortunately, it was a mentally unstable and useless person who returned. Just as he was secretly delighted, thinking that the gloom that had been hanging over his head for so long could be completely swept away,
He had originally thought that the 'Dragon Elephant True Sect' he relied on, and that the old martial saint of their lineage who had been in seclusion for sixty years, was actually the teacher of that true disciple of the Heavenly Blade School!

That old man came across mountains and seas to stand up for his student, and he directly and forcefully attacked, shattering his spirit with three punches!
He was told to dismiss his disciples, and he immediately bowed down without showing any anger. If it weren't for this Taoist's intervention, he probably would have lost his life.
A lifetime's work, all gone now!
How could he not hate it!
Thinking of this, Wei Changkong gritted his teeth, his face full of bitterness.

Looking down at the 'Flying Immortal Temple' below, Daoist Chijing snorted twice:
"Anyway, you can't stay in Jiangyin Prefecture anymore, and your sect has been destroyed by the Martial Saint, but your future is not without hope."

“My lineage has an exceptionally talented individual, and his seniority is quite high. Even I, a humble Taoist, have to travel a great distance to take care of him.”

"She is currently in a weak state and needs someone to protect her. I went to great lengths to rescue you, and it was not for nothing."

"Stay by her side, and there might still be a chance before you die."

Upon hearing this, Wei Changkong, whose cultivation level was similar but who had completely submitted to Daoist Chijing, naturally obeyed without question.

The flying boat stopped at the 'Flying Immortal Temple', and the elegant Taoist Chi Jing stepped into the temple.

Wei Changkong, meanwhile, was tending to his injuries and waiting patiently.

Hoping to meet the prodigy the Taoist priest spoke of soon, he was preparing to perform well, hoping for a chance to rise again and take revenge.
Instead of the intimidating figure they were waiting for, they were met with Daoist Chijing, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Looking at this 'savior', Wei Changkong instinctively felt something was wrong, but before he could even open his mouth, the next moment...
But then, a dazzling thunderous spell came rushing towards them:
"You've really screwed me over!"

"So that exceptionally talented young friend is actually part of the same family as me. Sigh."

"Although you are the key to my 'supernatural powers,' the path to enlightenment cannot be achieved overnight. You've offended so many people."

The once calm and collected Daoist Chijing, carrying the immobile Zixia Sect leader Wei Changkong, sighed:
"Now, we have no choice but to use you to give that little guy an explanation."

"Otherwise, if this direct descendant of the True Venerable has a problem with me, it won't be easy for me to get along in the Daoist lineage in the future."
