Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 194 Carrying a coffin on one shoulder, he stormed into the Divine Path Heaven. The Great Xuanwu Saint Xu Longxiang came to question him!

Inside the Earth Dragon Cave, white mist filled the air, and the portal between the two realms was wide open, allowing any living being within to sense the level of their cultivation if even the slightest trace of their aura was leaked.

The Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Sage General, leading three hundred armored grass-root gods, originally intended to unite the eighteen wild Zen mountain gods and, with lightning speed, directly advance on Anning, build a temple, raise incense offerings throughout the county, and establish the 'Temple of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God'.

When the time comes, as long as they begin to make offerings and establish themselves, the degree to which they, as heretical deities, are suppressed by the Great Mystic Gate will be lower.

Once the county seat is completely captured and the people of the mountains and the county government pay homage, the so-called "Jiangyin Prefecture" can be isolated from the vast East China Sea by the mountains and the sea.

No matter how many warships and warriors set sail, or how many sects and masters from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks want to sweep away heretics and establish merit.

With the die already cast, the attempt to force them back to the other side of the boundary gate is futile.
That's wishful thinking!

But what the Summoning Spirit and Manifestation General did not expect was...
Having just made a pledge in front of the Divine Lord Temple, he was about to cross the boundary gate and fight a battle that would surely bring him glory.

Before he could even recover, he saw an old man carrying a coffin blocking the doorway, glaring at him menacingly and spewing threats!

His first reaction was that this old man was simply tired of living.

My second thought was, something's not right. In such a dangerous place, how could an old man dare to squat alone like this?

Followed by.

When he saw the 'Ancient Dragon Elephant' lurking on Xu Longxiang's shoulders, staring intently at him.

The great ambitions of the Summoning Spirits and Manifestations General were instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.

Without even a moment's hesitation, he did so.

The guardian deity merely turned his head and, without uttering a word, stepped through the 'illusory portal' to return to the 'Temple of the Three-Five Slayer God'!
The three hundred armored grass-headed gods who had followed him hadn't even figured out what was going on when they saw this scene.

Before they could even recover from Xu Longxiang's tone...
The old man grinned, looking at the guardian general who held a golden mace, wore divine armor, and resembled a blazing sun, raising his palm as if to laugh:

"Since we're already here, why leave?"

Chi!
A thunderous sound suddenly erupted from the old man's five fingers!

The true meaning of the 'Primordial Dragon Elephant' that was being held aloft gradually coiled up, as if it were about to sweep across three thousand miles and trample the heavens!

The intensely fiery and fiercely powerful true intent of the Martial Saint was just revealed.

It even dispersed the thick white fog, and at this moment, the myriad spiritual energies of the Earth Dragon Cave draped over Xu Longxiang's shoulders. He carried them all on his back, and in terms of power, it seemed to be even greater than before!
"Those old fogies are scrambling to get in charge of a 'gateway,' all because they want to receive this kind of spiritual nourishment."

Xu Longxiang's hair flew in the wind, as if he were sighing with emotion.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of the Great Xuan Earth Dragon Cave slowly descended upon him.

If this continues, it will be equivalent to using this spiritual land to cleanse his martial arts body, which will have endless benefits for his future cultivation.

However, he had already experienced this profound mystery many years ago when he established the 'Dragon Elephant True Sect' and suppressed a 'Boundary Gate'.

He casually clapped his hands.

That surging, powerful force, like that of a dragon or an elephant, roared and resounded like a drumbeat!

Instantly, the three hundred armored grass-headed gods were scattered and scattered. Some even suffered dizziness and tinnitus, nearly collapsing to the ground, their minds filled with horror.

Who exactly is the deity?!
This disheveled old man, simply standing there with his two large sleeves spread out, looked just like an ancient demon god, capable of tearing the sun and moon apart with his bare hands—truly terrifying!
The heavens that are eroding the martial arts of immortals? The so-called Anning County is nothing but a poor and remote place, without even the weakest 'Guardian General'?
Among these grassroots gods, some rose from humble beginnings, donned divine armor to cultivate, and aspired to establish divine merit in the future, eventually being bestowed the title of 'Guardian General'.

Some come from 'divine families', whose ancestors had guardian deities, and whose bloodlines flow with divine blood. They also possess some cultivation and profound knowledge.

Even so, upon seeing this scene, I was instantly terrified!

This is hardly a remote mountain valley.

It was clearly a den of dragons and tigers; even the guardian generals didn't care about the lives of the divine armor below, and were the first to lead the way in running away!

Wow!
By the time these armored grass-roots gods realized what was happening, they panicked and tried to retreat.
The giant hand slammed down from the sky, like mowing grass. One after another, the battle-hardened divine armor, which was as tough as immortal robes, fell down without making a sound!

As soon as the Summoning Spirit General turned around, he had only stepped halfway into the 'Gateway' when he felt a 'whoosh' of cold wind scraping against the back of his head. He shivered and cried out in pain.

Where did this martial saint come from?!

To know.

In the Central Yellow Heaven, the most revered beings are the Heavenly Gods who hold the Dipper and are ranked among the stars above. They created the 'Central Yellow Divine Court' and watch the sun and moon rise and set.

Further down, there are temples that guard the mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Each of these earthly deities can establish rules within their own domain. Although they serve the divine beings above them and belong to the Eight Divisions, they are essentially independent rulers who carve out their own territories and establish themselves as kings!

All the living beings below are the worshippers and believers of the temple's deity, the foundation of his power, and the true source of his great power.

Such a person, if classified into the 'Human Immortal Martial Arts' system, would be the so-called 'Title Martial Arts'!
His own strength was already suppressed by seven or eight tenths, but he was still comparable to a Qi Refining Master. At most, he would be a sect leader in the Flawless Realm.

If you hesitate even for a moment when facing someone like that, your divine destiny lamp will probably shatter completely!

You must understand that this time, I have been ordered to enter the Great Xuan realm in my true form. It is not as simple as losing a single divine thought. If I perish, I will truly perish!
Hearing the screams of his divine armored soldiers and the dimming of the divine weapon talismans he wielded, the Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint General's heart grew colder and colder.

until.

An aged yet gentle voice rang in his ears:

"caught you."

hiss!
boom!
A large hand, after shattering three hundred divine armors, suddenly grabbed his arm and lightly brushed against it.
Instantly, divine blood rained down upon the Dragon Cave, serving as nourishment!

Whoosh!
And coincidentally, the Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint General also crossed the 'Gateway'!
It stands on a mountain within the territory of the "Sanwu Zhannieshenjun Temple" in the "Zhonghuangtian".

"Huhu."

The Summoning Spirit General was panting heavily, but a smile appeared on his face.

He looked up and saw a sky full of stars, forming a vast net of divine rules, with no error whatsoever in determining the time of sunrise and sunset.

Those stars represent sacred palaces, which even mortal gods are not qualified to ascend to and pay homage to.

Previously, when he saw it, the Summoning Spirits and Manifestations General felt suffocated, after all, he was just a cog at the very bottom of this great net, and no matter how hard he tried, he could hardly move forward. But now, he felt a strong sense of relief rising from his heart, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

Once you cross the boundary gate, you're basically safe.

After all, this isn't Da Xuan!
In the heavens there is the Central Yellow Divine Court, and on earth there are temples of various gods and lords. A martial saint may have some influence in this vast, mysterious, and boundless network of divine ways, but that's all; he can't stir up any big waves.

But then a sharp pain shot through him. Seeing his hand crushed in his hand, the Summoning Spirit General bared his teeth, staring at the 'illusory portal' with eyes filled with terror.

"A Martial Saint was actually squatting beside the boundary gate. Luckily, I was the last to enter, just inches from the gate, otherwise..."

He was extremely relieved about this.

But the next moment!
When the Summoning Spirit General saw that the 'Gateway' was actually buzzing and trembling, it continued to do so after he stepped through it.

Moreover, it subtly stirred the repulsion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as if some person who did not belong to this heaven was about to step in, and immediately his soul was terrified!

"That old scoundrel really dares to step into the 'Central Yellow Heaven'!?"

"He's crazy!?"

This omen terrified the Summoning Spirit General so much that he dared not linger for even a moment. Instantly, he ignited his divine blood and fled, intending to report this information to the "Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord"!
And a moment later!
A phantom portal, indistinctly visible, reveals a blurry figure treading the heavens.

All that could be seen was Xu Longxiang with his silver hair flowing freely, his sleeves fluttering, carrying a large coffin on his shoulder, looking up at the heavens at the "Great Net of the Divine Path." For the first time, he truly saw what it meant to say, "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it."

Then, with a dismissive look in his eyes, he let out a soft scoff:
"Compared to the natural world and the great mystery of the rising and setting of the sun and moon."

"All the rules here are set by others. All living beings are like sheep being herded, with no chance to fight for their lives. In such a stagnant world, where is there any chance for the lower classes to rise up?"

"The divine world is nothing more than this, merely a pasture for those ancient beings."

"No wonder these so-called gods go to other realms to plunder resources, like locusts."

"After all, if they cannot obtain resources from the outside to advance, as long as one of the saints sitting on the star palace inside does not perish, these people will never be able to ascend to heaven in their entire lives!"

With a flick of his sleeve, his eagle-like eyes, sharp as swords and terrifyingly bright, fixed on this vast expanse, the only place where spiritual energy converged like his own. He murmured:

"That must be the 'Divine Lord Temple' that oversees this area, infiltrated the Great Xuan realm, and dispatched divine armor to collect all the spiritual energy of the Earth Dragon Cave."

The old man murmured, patting the fine coffin his student had crafted for his only apprentice.

He felt the sudden pressure on his shoulder, as if the malice of heaven and earth was suppressing his burning 'Martial Saint True Intent', and his eyes gradually turned sinister:

"Trivial hardships are nothing to speak of."

"I couldn't have my disciples fulfill their filial duties while I was alive, and now that I've been dead for sixty years, what if someone steals my body right before my eyes?"

"What difference is there between my title of 'Dragon and Elephant' and a laughing stock?!"

Click, click.
Visibly, the old man stood before an illusory portal, his spine slightly hunched, as if pressed down by the weight of heaven and earth.
At this moment, with a single step, a turbulent surge erupted, as if stirring up a storm in the void, creating tangible ripples!

then----

Shouldering a large coffin, he took a step forward, heading straight for the 'Temple of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God,' his voice like thunder, roaring across the plains:
"The Great Xuanwu Saint, Xu Longxiang!"

"You've come to demand an explanation!"

Two whole days!

Covered in dust from his journey, Ji Xiu traversed the eighteen interconnected mountain towns outside the Earth Dragon Cave, annihilating all the mountain spirits and wild gods who had been granted titles due to the opening of the 'Boundary Gate'.

then
We stepped into the Earth Dragon Cave, venturing deep into its depths, five hundred miles away!

The 'communication talisman' left behind by Xu Longxiang told Ji Xiumo not to rashly step into the 'gateway'.

But before this gate...
Ji Xiu saw rows and rows of armored corpses!

"Did our master carry a coffin on his back and storm the 'Middle Yellow Heaven' in one fell swoop?!"

Even though the commotion had resounded throughout the world, Ji Xiu, who could still catch a glimpse of it in Wushan Town, already knew what was going on.

Seeing it in person now still fills me with awe and admiration.

That was a vast and boundless world of unorthodox paths, fraught with danger and unpredictable dangers, and filled with countless methods and strange occurrences that no martial arts world had ever seen before!

As a result, Xu Longxiang dared to step in alone. It must be said that such courage is worthy of the Martial Saint in person!
The more I think about it, the more...

As Ji Xiu recalled the past events related to 'Ip Man Kong', he became more and more curious.

What earth-shattering event could possibly force even the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint, who dared to invade the Central Yellow Heaven, to remain silent?
He doesn't know.

But he was speechless at the unknown deity who had captured the spiritual energy of the Earth Dragon Cave, dispatched divine armor, and abducted the great demon's corpse, along with the burial of Senior Ye Wenjiang.

His master secluded himself for sixty years, yet he still couldn't get over his inner turmoil. And you, on the other hand, even dug up his disciple's grave. How could he not travel across the world to settle accounts with you?
As for whether Xu Longxiang can hold his own...
Ji Xiu, however, was somewhat confident.

His mentor was no ordinary person; he came from 'True Martial Mountain'!
What kind of place is Zhenwu Mountain?
It is a pillar-level force established by Qi Xuanzhen, one of the "Ten Ancestors of the First Generation", at the beginning of the Great Xuan Dynasty. It represents the martial arts of the human immortals and is one of the highest achievements of the contemporary era!

This is far beyond the reach of ordinary martial saints!

The Heavenly Pillar-level Qi Dao True Skill, the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Aura, and the self-created 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Skill'. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Just thinking about it gave Ji Xiu a lot of confidence.

Now, he has cleansed the eighteen interconnected mountain towns of the deified wild gods and has achieved minor success in his cultivation.

All that's left is to wait for good news from the master, for him to return victorious from the Central Yellow Heaven, and capture one or two more external gods as prisoners to support himself, to serve as whetstones for him, this 'master of Qi cultivation'.
They could crush it in no time!

At this crucial juncture, one must be extremely cautious and avoid haste. Otherwise, rashly crossing this threshold could easily become the mentor's Achilles' heel, causing him to hesitate and be unable to fully utilize his abilities.

It would be better to return home and, in Anning County, use the Daoist supernatural power "Yellow Millet Dream" to comprehend the Chapters of Immortals, thus opening the path of "High-Level Daoist Skills" and preparing for the opening of the Purple Mansion!
at the same time.

Ji Xiu remained at the Ji residence in Anning County. The 'communication talisman' he had purchased from the prefectural city also hummed and vibrated, transmitting a message. His gaze narrowed slightly as he stood temporarily at the gate of the Earth Dragon Cave.
"Ok?"

"Have people from Jiangyin Prefecture arrived?"
