Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 196: To capture a 'Divine Palace' for my disciple! I will pre-pay the Immortal Chapter to open the Great Dao Purple Palace!

In the Jiangyin government office, the garrison camp, and among some Qi Refining masters who had been recruited, they watched helplessly as Ji Xiu arrived at the county government office, and then suddenly fell silent.

"Is this Ji Xiu, the one who worshipped the Martial Saint and became the leader?"

"Truly young."

"The opening of the boundary gate is no small matter, not child's play. To be able to slay a wild god and wipe out a divine armored being all by himself, averting a calamity, is truly a formidable young man."

The officials and Qi cultivators in the manor who had never met Ji Xiu but had heard of his name whispered among themselves upon seeing his true appearance.

Boundary gates are almost extinct in mountainous areas, and even in a prefectural city, they are rarely seen.

However, if we look at a single prefecture, such as Beicang, then every now and then there will be events such as changes in the boundary gates, requests for help from the True Sect, or the emergence of new heretical sects.

Therefore, the entire Great Xuan, including the lord who was stationed in the state of Beicang, would issue rewards to those who had made meritorious contributions to the 'Turbulence of the Heretics'.

For example, the calamity of the 'Earth Dragon Cave'.

If Ji Xiu truly blocked the first wave of attack, thus allowing the Martial Saint to arrive in time and making the opened 'Boundary Gate' unable to move an inch, causing the transformed Earth Dragon Cave to lose all its spiritual energy to the Great Profound Realm.
That would indeed be an immense achievement.

It is necessary to report to the lord who has granted territory and suppressed the Northern Cang, and ask him to personally approve it before the reward can be determined!

However, compared to all of these, when Ji Xiu mentioned the word 'mentor'...

The two leaders from the prefectural city, both highly skilled in martial arts, Pei Daoran, the head of the academy, and Luo Daocheng, the garrison general, breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Daoran, in particular, wore a relaxed smile.

The calamity of the boundary gate can be either major or minor.

With a genuine title from the Upper Three Realms in charge, no matter what storms are stirred up, they will be insignificant.

Under the suppression of Heaven and Earth, even a divine being who personally crosses the threshold will be subject to suppression.

People who reach that level are often very protective of their lives, and they would never risk their lives unless they were absolutely certain of success.

It's a sure thing, this wave is in the bag!
Then Pei Daoran spoke:
"So the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint is here too, then there's nothing to worry about."

"Chief Ji and Martial Saint Longxiang personally oversaw the 'Earth Dragon Cave' and averted a divine calamity. Their merit is immeasurable."

"Once news arrives from Cangdu, I will inform all the feudal lords and personally reward Ji Kui Shou!"

"Where is Your Excellency the Martial Saint now? Are you keeping a close watch on the gate to the boundary?"

Pei Daoran was thinking of going to see that Martial Saint.

However.
Ji Xiu's next words, however, made his smile freeze instantly.

"The remains of the Daoist Master of the Dragon Elephant Sect, who was also the senior disciple of Master Ip Man Kong, were buried in the Earth Dragon Cave."

"The moment the gate opened, those armored deities gathered all spiritual energy and even dug up the remains of Senior Ye Wenjiang."

Upon seeing this, the master was immediately enraged, swept away the three hundred divine armored warriors, and directly entered the other side of that 'gateway'.

"at the moment."

"The forces that are currently infiltrating that divine realm must be trying to reclaim Senior Ye Wenjiang's remains, right?"

Crossing the boundary gate and entering the Central Yellow Divine Path Heaven?
Pei Daoran choked on his words.

Luo Daocheng couldn't help but change color:

"How dare the old Martial Saint be so arrogant!"

"Although his title was bestowed sixty years ago, he now possesses profound foundations. It is conceivable that even if he were to cross the boundary and suppress sixty or seventy percent of his strength, he could still barely unleash the power of a Martial Saint."

"There are divine beings in the outer realms. If we are so arrogant, what if we can't come back?"

Both of the Dragon-Tiger Realm experts were getting restless.

Seeing the change in their expressions and the sudden tension in the atmosphere, Ji Xiu roughly understood their concerns.

But to put it simply...
If the remains of your own disciple are stolen, should you save him or not?
According to historical records of the Great Xuan Dynasty, very few people have been able to pass through the boundary gate and enter another celestial realm.

His mentor, with such charisma, was certainly no ordinary person.

"Gentlemen, if the disciple dies and the master is brought to his aid, few people would remain indifferent if such a thing happened to them."

"As a martial saint who has dominated for a century, his profound knowledge and experience are naturally well-known."

"Perhaps, we can even capture the divine spiritual energy of the Yellow Heaven in the Earth Dragon Cave and use it to fill the deficit of the Great Xuan."

"I am from Anning County and own some businesses there. You may stay here for now in my residence on West Street, keep an eye on the Earth Dragon Cave, and wait for news."

That's all.

After hearing Ji Xiu's words, Pei and Luo, the two prefects, opened their mouths but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

After all, that's the Martial Saint's own business. If I were to bring it up, it would be presumptuous. How can I advise others to do good if I haven't experienced their suffering? And since they're not my disciple, of course I can't understand their pain.

For now, all we can do is hope that the old martial saint's journey goes smoothly.

Otherwise, we can only wait for the fake title from Cangdu, or for the actual title to arrive, before we can investigate further.

And this time!
Central Yellow Sky.

The Temple of the God of the Three Five Slaying Evils.

The sounds of prayers, chanting, and praises fill this sacred realm.

Temples dedicated to deities also require offerings from living beings, and therefore are generally located in areas with abundant human activity.

There are also descendants of great generals and families of deities here, just like 'schools and sects' or 'great clans'. As the powerful and ruling class, they are only below the gods and guardian deities.

The only difference is that the world is much harsher.

If an ordinary person lacks luck or divine intervention, unless they are born with extraordinary spiritual qualities and the potential to ascend to godhood, their chances of standing out are pitifully small.

The Temple of the God of Slaying Evil is located on a mountain, at the very center of the 'Three-Five Gods of Slaying Evil', one of the eight hundred divine palaces in the Central Yellow Heaven and Earth.

His entire divine image, rising from the mountaintop temple day and night, transforms into a towering, sky-supporting body tens of feet tall, with a third eye on his brow and a sword to slay evil in his hand.

That eye was always open, as if it could see the entire landscape of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Mansion'.

And this time!
In the distance, however, there was an ancient dragon and elephant as magnificent as this statue, carrying the true meaning of the Martial Saint, which traversed the towering mountains and ridges and crashed straight into the temple mountain!

The figure fell like a meteorite, making a huge commotion with tremendous speed.

Until the temple of the God, a domineering and unparalleled loud noise shook the sky, and a coffin was thrown down!
One corner of the temple was smashed to pieces.

The enormous commotion spread, leaving all the living beings in the entire 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace' stunned.

It should be understood that the rising and setting of the sun and moon in the Yellow Heaven follow a regular pattern, while the replacement of the eight hundred divine palaces on earth often takes decades or even centuries, requiring the conquest of two divine lords!
That would inevitably affect the entire divine palace, giving an early warning, but something like today, without any warning, has never happened before.

Could it be related to the fact that a 'gateway' connecting to another realm was created near the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace'?
The beings of the Divine Palace who witnessed this scene felt a tremor in their hearts and secretly speculated about what was happening.

On the mountain, there is a temple dedicated to the God.

The Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord raised his Heavenly Eye, his gaze flashing with sharp light as he looked at the 'Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm' who had stepped through the boundary gate and entered this place, his tone cold:

"Where did you come from, you fool, so ignorant and fearless?"

"If all the Great Xuan Realms were filled with fools like you, the entire universe would have been swallowed up by other realms long ago. How could it still exist today!" "Crossing the boundary gate, subjected to oppression, yet you dare to openly attack us!"

"Old man, you are also a figure from the Upper Three Realms. You are probably a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Great Xuan. With the opening of the boundary gate and the overflow of spiritual energy, if you were to take charge of the other end, we could exchange resources with each other, which would only be beneficial!"

"But now you've torn down my temple, slapped my face, severed my general's arm, and broken three hundred of my divine armors. This feud is now set in stone. If you were to take charge of the other side, would you expect favorable weather and abundant harvests?"

The Three-Five Slayer God-King's tone was chilling:

Do you think I can make things go smoothly for you?

The deity was filled with melancholy.

He perused the divine scroll and had never seen such a precedent before!

Even if those martial saints of the Great Mystic Realm didn't want to gain more benefits or cooperate with the 'World Gate', they mostly just closed the World Gate, collected spiritual energy, and added more to their own cultivation.

How could anyone be like this reckless old man, ignoring everything and barging right into our doorstep?

The divine communication from the Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint General almost made the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord think it was a joke.

But when Xu Longxiang stumbled and fell into the air, his spear pointing directly at him, he could no longer laugh.

Xu Longxiang, who stood atop the heavens overlooking the temple, scoffed upon hearing this:
"You seized spiritual energy and also abducted the corpses of my disciples whom I buried in the Earth Dragon Cave. How do you intend to settle this score?"

disciple?

The Three-Five Slaying Evil God was taken aback, and then he thought of the excellent skeleton in the Earth Dragon Cave. If it was properly refined, it might be possible to create a divine warrior puppet comparable to a guardian deity.

Is it because of this incident that they came knocking on our door?

Upon hearing this, he became somewhat angry:

“You buried your disciple in the wilderness, and I thought it was just some unwanted bones that no one wanted, so I took it.”

"If you want to take it, you can have it!"

"But since you come and go as you please, shouldn't you at least give me an explanation and allocate a larger portion of the spiritual land beyond the 'Gateway' to me?"

"I think that Earth Dragon Cave is quite good. From now on, let Jie swallow this place, and use the mountains and small counties on the other side as the boundary. You and I will govern separately and live in peace. What do you say?"

I'll give you an explanation.
Xu Longxiang, his beard and hair bristling, held up his "Martial Saint aura" with one arm, glanced sideways, and immediately roared like thunder:

"town!"

He then leaped into the air and charged headlong into the temple.

The enormous and majestic Primordial Dragon Elephant crashed down, smashing the entire temple—a place painstakingly constructed, heavily fortified, and used for cultivation—to utter smithereens!

Instantly, the eyes of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord widened in disbelief.

Immediately following, the old man let out a long howl that filled the plains:

"You think the Earth Dragon Cave is nice?"

"But I also think your temple is quite good!"

"You think that returning my disciple's body will settle this score?"

"In this life, I will never leave empty-handed."

"Your 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace' is not bad, in my opinion."

"Why not drag them into the Earth Dragon Cave and lay a solid foundation for my student's future great cause!?"

"Let this old man test you, this Outer God, and see if you are qualified to take charge!"

Xu Longxiang has already established the 'Dragon Elephant True Sect'. If he were to occupy another 'Boundary Gate' to gather spiritual energy, those who have not established a sect or foundation on a spiritual mountain would definitely be envious, and even the governor of Cangdu would not agree.

However, although his student's grandmaster was eccentric, Xu Longxiang knew that if he were to master his "divine skills" and be granted a title, it would only be a matter of time.

As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

Now that we've seen it, it's ours. How can we just hand it over to someone else?

The trigger for his intrusion into the 'Gate of Immortality' was the desecration of his own disciple's corpse, which enraged him to the extreme.

But since we're already here...
Why not go for something big then!
for example----

Under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Cangdu, another prefecture city will be built next to Jiangyin Prefecture!
He wasn't joking!

Anning County.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

As the vanguard of Jiangyin Prefecture arrived to fight against the 'Boundary Gate', in recent days, warriors from Jiangyin Prefecture have been arriving one after another, and there are even outsiders from outside 'Jiangyin Prefecture'.

When the old Martial Saint of the Dragon Elephant True Sect shattered his divine armor and entered the boundary gate, anyone with wide information and inside knowledge sensed something.

It means no matter how the future changes.

Anning County is considered a developed area!
In the future, there will be 100% certainty that a pseudo-Martial Saint or even a titled martial artist will come to establish a sect, and at that time, the entire Jiangyin Prefecture will have to take this as its basis!

Therefore, regardless of whether they were major firms or established schools of thought, they all came early to scout locations, intending to purchase real estate and establish a foundation, so that in the future, when opportunities abound and every inch of land becomes extremely valuable, they could make arrangements in advance.
As the head of the eighteen routes and the major landlord of West Street in the county town, Ji Xiu held a pivotal position during the reconstruction of Anning County.

Similarly, the land and houses he acquired, which were not worth much money in the past, are now often worth a fortune, and many people are envious and want to meet him to discuss a business deal.

Anning County is only so big, and the best locations are in this person's hands. Since we can't use force, we can only negotiate slowly.
But Ji Xiu was completely unaware of all of this at the time.

At the Ji residence on West Street, he gave instructions to the stewards, including Old Man Yao and Lin Zhenhai and his daughter, that no one should disturb his cultivation process.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the master bedroom and had a dreamlike state of mind, comprehending the Daoist scriptures!
【The Six Chapters of Mysterious Lord's Secret Records - The Chapter on Immortals (Part 1)】

This chapter describes the method for 'Divine Soul Advancement'. By studying this technique, one can forge the 'Great Dao Purple Mansion' to house the Niwan Palace and reside within the Divine Soul!

[This "Chapter on the Immortals" was created by the Great Mystic Venerable when he established himself within the Great Mystic territory, dividing lands and establishing his own lineage. He listened to the teachings of the Sumeru Patriarch in the "Sumeru Cave" of the Great Dao lineage and thus created it.]

[The Master of Mount Sumeru annotated this scroll, claiming that upon completion, one could attain the fruit of a 'Great Celestial Immortal'.]

[To cultivate this Daoist path and forge the Purple Palace, one must open the Spirit Mountain with the Niwan point, immerse oneself in the inner landscape, chop wood for three years, carry water for three years, and sweep the steps for three years, enduring the cold winters and hot summers, completing nine extreme tasks, only then can the spirit and soul be perfected, advancing to a high level of cultivation and enabling the use of Daoist arts!]

[The Six Chapters of the Mysterious Lord's Secret Records - The Chapter on the Immortal Path: (1/900)!]

This was something he had previously obtained from Jiang Li, the 'Great Xuan King' with an astonishingly powerful identity.

Jiang Li's status is too high; Ji Xiu is currently far from being able to access what she wants to do.

Even the mysterious figure accompanying her, Ji Xiu later pondered, was probably a big shot in 'Cangdu'.

If outsiders were to know that he had such a close friendship with the fallen last emperor, it might not be a blessing.

But the immortal records she left behind proved to be of great benefit to her!
Will the Great Dao Purple Mansion lead to the Dao fruit of becoming a 'Grand Celestial Immortal' in the future?

In the cultivation of Daoist arts, it ranks at the highest level of the Purple Mansion. Even compared with the 'Peak Qi Sea Qi' in the martial arts of human immortals, it is even more difficult to cultivate.

And now!
"Let me see what's inside!"

Ji Xiu visualized in his mind and murmured to himself.

In an instant, a transparent yellow butterfly fluttered its transparent wings, which carried the lingering charm of time, and once again, it took him to another 'bizarre and wonderful' world!

This place is far more mysterious and clear than the last time.
