Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 199: The Purple Mansion is divided into four grades, directly pointing to the foundation of a "Divine Power True Person"! The secret between reality and a pipe dream.
[The ordained master has pre-completed the 'Six Chapters of the Mysterious Lord's Secret Records - Chapters of the Immortal Path', condensed the 'Great Dao Purple Mansion', and advanced to 'High-Level Daoist Master'.]

Purple Palace.

When Ji Xiu's spirit, aided by the transparent yellow butterfly, awoke from his dream and opened his eyes at the Ji residence in Anning County, he could clearly see...
What was originally a hazy, ignorant sea of ​​consciousness in his mind now contained a majestic 'Purple Jade Palace'.

Its entire body is the color of crystal, its shape is flawless like jade, and it exudes wisps of divine spiritual power, extremely mysterious. More importantly—

Ji Xiu looked inward and could clearly see that what was enshrined in this 'Inner View of the Purple Mansion' was a small figure sitting cross-legged.

The little man seemed to be born with the pure energy of heaven and earth. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and with each breath, he could gather and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fill himself.

And his appearance is exactly the same as Ji Xiu's!
'Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit'!
this moment.

There was no need to consult ancient texts or research secrets; Ji Xiu already knew all the mysteries of this 'Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit' in the unseen realm!
High-level Taoist skills are divided into three realms!
'Opening the Purple Mansion', 'Spirit Astral Projection', 'Magic Power Elixir'!
Currently, this primordial spirit resides only in Ji Xiu's own Purple Mansion, absorbing spiritual energy and condensing 'magical power' to nourish himself and perform Taoist arts and spells.

In terms of power, it far surpasses the ritual of opening an altar and the exertion of thoughts when one has mastered Taoist arts.

However, the other wonderful uses of the 'Purple Mansion' have only been initially established and are difficult to demonstrate for the time being.

When the Purple Mansion gathers spiritual energy, continuously replenishes and strengthens itself, it will gradually manifest various divine wonders!

The Purple Palace is the root of life, and the Primordial Spirit is the true nature.

Only by constantly gathering spiritual energy and consuming nourishing elixirs can a Qi cultivator ensure that the original spirit residing in the Purple Palace is not afraid of yin winds, sun, or supernatural powers!
Once these conditions are gradually met
A Qi cultivator's primordial spirit can be like an 'external avatar,' freely leaving the body to roam and attach to objects, allowing them to control every blade of grass, tree, bird, and beast as if it were their own arm!
Ancient texts describe those with supernatural powers who have attained immortality through various means, such as "turning beans into soldiers" and "controlling puppets."

The so-called Yellow Turban Warriors and mechanical puppets mentioned in those ancient books are manifestations of the perfected cultivation of the Purple Mansion, the continuous growth of the primordial spirit, which is enough to transcend the physical body and manipulate other things.

Unafraid of the cold wind, this is called "night travel"; unafraid of the sun, this is called "day travel"; unafraid of supernatural powers, this is called "ascension"!
After a Qi cultivator's nighttime wanderings, daytime wanderings, and ascension to immortality, their primordial spirit is nourished to this extent by magical power and great elixirs.
Then you can reach the fifth realm of the Divine Soul – the Astral Spirit Leaving the Body!
At that time, even if the physical body is burned, the original spirit that has been nurtured in the Purple Mansion for decades can be reborn by seizing another body, as long as it is not killed or obliterated, and will no longer be human!

Ji Xiu obtained all of this by consulting the classics of Abbot Fan Nansong at the Feixian Temple.

As for the old Taoist priest Fan Nansong, as a branch of the Wanfa Sect that barely made it into the sect, his current realm is 'opening up the Purple Palace'.

However, he had been cultivating for quite some time and possessed the skill of 'constructing runes in the void,' which he used as a way to amass wealth and support his cultivation.

Now, the primordial spirit of the Purple Mansion is no longer afraid of 'wind and sun' and can travel day and night!
However, if bombarded by Taoist arts and magic, it is extremely fragile and can be melted into dust in an instant.

Therefore, he has not yet fully cultivated his Purple Mansion, nurturing his primordial spirit to the point where he can unleash it at will, achieving a level of resilience similar to his physical body.

In his usual practice, he uses the "Purple Mansion Magic Power" advanced from "Divine Soul Thoughts" to control his spells.

This is partly because Abbot Fan Nansong's aptitude was average, his opportunities were limited, and after several decades of wasted time, he could only reach this level.

On the other hand, it is because the Purple Mansion True Technique cultivated when advancing to the Purple Mansion level was relatively inferior.

The Purple Palace contains five categories of true treasures: merit, books, classics, and chapters.

The cultivation techniques and books used in the Purple Mansion True Treasury are rudimentary and generally graded. The Purple Mansions that are usually crafted are also of a relatively low grade. The 'Divine Landscape Primordial Mansion within the Body' constructed from this is usually grayish in appearance and has cracks.

This is the 'Flawed Purple Palace'.

With the Purple Mansion leaking out from all sides, even if a Qi cultivator absorbs spiritual energy and nourishes it with the Divine Soul Elixir, the results are often half as good as twice the effort, requiring several times the hard work to continue advancing.

By cultivating to the 'Scripture' level, one can forge a 'Flawless Purple Mansion'!
Even within the three orthodox lineages of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, only a true disciple from a minor Dao lineage or small detached residence would be qualified to receive the Flawless Purple Mansion.

The construction of this Purple Palace will result in an appearance of yellow sprouts and white snow, symbolizing the harmonious interaction of body and mind, and the spontaneous formation of the primordial spirit. With a solid Purple Palace, the foundation for cultivation will naturally be stable.

Those who achieve the ability to leave their body, obtain the Dao elixir, and reach the higher realms of the fifth and sixth stages of Daoist cultivation generally possess this foundation.

As for the higher level, it is to 'build a foundation with classics' and obtain the flawless purple mansion!
Such a purple palace, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, can already manifest the true nature of all kinds of 'Daoist scriptures'. The primordial spirit resides within it, and over time, it will surely be more profound than the primordial spirit of other 'Qi cultivators'.

Not only does it refine and nourish the 'Purple Mansion Magic Power', but it is also flawless magic power, making one superior to others when using spells and supernatural abilities.

At the same time, the progress in advancing to the thresholds of Night Tour, Day Tour, and Ascension will far surpass that of the same realm Purple Mansion with or without flaws in cultivation!

Nine out of ten people who reach the threshold of the upper three realms, the 'Divine Power True Person,' have broken through the barrier by using 'Classic' level true skills.

To receive such a Daoist scripture, one must be a respected figure in a region, possessing profound knowledge and a legitimate lineage, not a heretical sect. They typically possess Daoist artifacts and supernatural powers to suppress their sect, holding a high position.

As for the highest level, 'Daozhang level'.

According to legend, based on the "Immortal Array Method," the three most ancient celestial realms, whether it be the Crimson Heaven or the Orthodox Method, are only qualified to be taught by the ancient lineages derived from the "Thirteen Gates"!

All the Dao chapters are comprehended through those thirteen profound and extraordinary Daoist techniques that lead directly to the other shore. To master them is extremely difficult!

Once completed, it becomes the 'Great Dao Purple Palace'. Building magnificent palaces and pavilions, nourishing one's original nature and primordial spirit, and gathering spiritual energy to cultivate magical power can all accumulate strands of 'Dao nature', which can greatly enhance the power of Dao techniques and spells!
There are also statements in classical texts that————

If a Qi cultivator achieves the 'Great Dao Purple Mansion'...

Then a divinely powerful immortal will be just around the corner!

He can be considered a candidate for becoming a true master, a minor Taoist disciple.

and this.

It was through the "Yellow Millet Dream" that Yuanshi Daolu instructed Ji Xiu to chop wood, carry water, and sweep the steps for nine years in the Sumeru Cave, thus establishing his illustrious foundation!
[The ordination master practices the supernatural power 'A Dream of Yellow Millet,' accelerating the refining process!]

[Current: 10% → 30%!]

[From this point onward, the recipient will experience a greater sense of reality in their dreamlike state, and will be able to comprehend the techniques and secret arts of 'Master Qi Cultivation' and 'High-Level Taoist Skills'!]

Sumeru Cave

Silently murmuring those three words, Ji Xiu looked at the 'Great Dao Purple Mansion' he had built, and only then did he finally understand.

I was in the sacred mountain, but I was reborn as a mortal.

He chopped wood for three years, rain or shine, to solidify the foundation of his Purple Palace, enabling its magical power to flow naturally and imbue it with Daoist nature.

For three years, water was carried in a continuous cycle to build the Purple Palace "high tower," ensuring it was flawless and imperfect, like a piece of jade adorned with jade.

For three years, he swept the steps, leaving them spotless, to cleanse the primordial spirit of the Purple Palace and remove all 'dust and obscurity,' thus directly pointing towards the 'True Person' position!
Only in this way can one be free from impurity and defilement, pure as the primordial state, and thus perceive the foundation of the Great Dao!
Unfortunately, many of the worldly cultivators and direct descendants of the Great Dao who participated in the trial were prominent figures in the outside world. Even if their Dao hearts were firm, they were inevitably mixed with the word 'utilitarianism' and could not see through the inner workings of the Dao.

But they are not the only ones who haven't seen through it.

Even if Ji Xiu were to borrow the 'Yellow Millet Dream,' he wouldn't be immune to worldly temptations. However, the Primordial Dao Register's ability to touch upon all laws, to pre-emptively accumulate and repay debts little by little, is truly too heaven-defying.

Even if Ji Xiu follows the steps and works hard, he can still gain true skill and be appreciated by the patriarch, who will then record his name as a disciple!

If those privileged children found out about this, they would probably be furious.

"It's a pity that I've only just become a true disciple of the 'Sumeru Cave' and been enlightened by the Sumeru Patriarch; I haven't enjoyed any of the benefits yet."

Having achieved the highest level of the Purple Mansion realm, Ji Xiu was filled with joy. From now on, he could compete with the 'masters of Qi cultivation' and would no longer be the lowly Ji Xiu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It should be noted that among the few dozen or so people who remained at the end, there were outstanding members of prominent families, such as Lu Qingchan, a Daoist nun from the 'Chasing Light Palace', and Gu Chuan, a descendant of the 'Shaoshang Sword Sect', both of whom had obtained a supernatural power and a heavenly skill.

That's a configuration comparable to 'Divine Power Master'!
I was so envious when I saw it.

Finally, when it came to his turn, his pipe dream also came to an end.
"Jiang Jing, son of Jiang Shenji, a powerful figure in the demonic path, and Meng Qingfan, the former goddess of the Xuanfu Sect, the Great Dao lineage of the Crimson Heaven."

"Is the ancestral lineage of the Xuanfu Sect the Great Dao lineage originating from the Crimson Heaven?"

"My younger sister Ji Wei has dreamt of the entire world and received the true teachings of Qin Wanfa, the master of the 'Ten Thousand Laws Sect.' That place is none other than the 'Crimson Heaven'!"

"Then I should take some time to investigate whether there really is such a lineage in the Crimson Heaven."

"Then there is a person named 'Jiang Jing'."

“I have no trace of Zhang Xuanye, the righteous one of the Heavenly Laws.”

“But I have evidence to prove the ‘river view’ of Chixiaotian.”

Ji Xiu stroked his chin, recalling the dreamlike scene, and murmured to himself.

It was truly a case of Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly.
Or perhaps, it's a dream of Zhuangzi?

In the Central Yellow Heaven, at the Palace of the Three-Five Slaying Evil Gods, there is that high mountain temple!
Now, the pillar of heaven has collapsed, the temple has crumbled, and countless divine armor and attendants have been affected. Even some guardian generals have been accidentally caught in the aftershocks and perished!
Those who survived still tremble with fear when they recall what happened not long ago.

That martial artist who crossed the boundary gate was ruthless!
Isn't it said that if you rashly cross boundaries, you will be suppressed by supernatural powers?
How come that martial artist of the Upper Three Realms is so incredibly fierce when fighting against a Divine Lord of the same Upper Three Realms?

They even managed to beat the God so badly that his hair was disheveled, and his third eye was almost smashed. He had no choice but to flee and head towards the 'Altar of Heaven'.
However, if the deity could reach the 'Altar of Heaven', there should be a change in the outcome, right?
Those who thought of that place, with its temple, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It should be noted that each of the eight hundred temples and shrines in Zhonghuangtian has an altar for worshipping Heaven.

On that altar dedicated to Heaven, different 'Zhou Tian Sheng Shen' (sacred deities of the Zhou Tian) are enshrined. They reside among the stars in the heavens, within the divine palace, and possess boundless divine power.

The altar is where the temple offers incense and spreads the names of the gods. Every three to five years, there is a grand ceremony.
On the altar of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God, a place where the Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace was dedicated to the Holy God of Guangfa Ganglei, there was a wisp of thought of such a person.

Although in the Zhou Tian Divine Realm, Guangfa Gang Lei is not one of the eight main positions, but just one of the vast stars, it is not particularly eye-catching.

But in this sacred land, there is a genuine 'great supernatural being'!
Even a single thought of His could suppress a divine ruler!
Some people were filled with unease and speculation.
And this time.

Suddenly, two divine thoughts arrived from the north and south!

Suddenly, a divine voice rang out:
"What about the three-five slaying of evil spirits?"

"Just now, a martial artist of the 'Human Immortal Martial Path' attacked this temple. This is the first time in many years that such an attack has occurred in Zhonghuangtian."

"If he can't control that 'gateway,' we, the surrounding divine palaces, can also lend him a hand."

It is the Divine Lord of the Divine Palace surrounding the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil Divine Palace'!

Sensing the arrival of that divine thought, the remaining survivors on the mountainside who knew the situation were instantly drenched in cold sweat, stammering and unsure of what to say.
With disheveled hair, blood streaming from his third eye, and looking utterly wretched, even his true sword had a large gash shattered, the Three-Five Slaying Demon God Lord stumbled back to the temple with a cold gaze.

Upon arriving, he noticed two thoughts from his peers, and simply said indifferently:
"The matter is settled, so there's no need for you two to travel such a long way to mobilize your troops."

Upon hearing this, the two divine senses were still somewhat unwilling to give up:

“Your temple was damaged and you were seriously injured by the warriors in the ‘Boundary Gate.’ We are helping you; as for taking a share of the spoils…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a sneer from the Three-Five Slaying Demon God:

"I have lured that person to the 'Altar of Heaven,' and at a great cost, I summoned a wisp of divine power from the 'Divine Lord of the Vast Thunder and Lightning,' using thunder and lightning to completely suppress and annihilate him!"

"The matter is settled, and there shouldn't be any further unexpected events!"

"Now, I have once again dispatched a general, wielding divine armor, to proclaim that the 'Martial Saint has fallen,' and to march out of the boundary gate with great fanfare."

"I reckon that the warriors outside the 'gateway' will be terrified when they see a titled Martial Saint fall silent. They will only remain stagnant and try to negotiate peace with me. Therefore, there is no need to trouble you all."

Guangfa Gang Lei!

Upon hearing this name, the two divine senses flickered slightly, seemingly surprised, but after a moment of silence, they both dissipated.
Only the Three-Five Slaying Demon God remained, clutching his chest. After the two other gods left, he finally collapsed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his teeth clenched in fury.
"How can that warrior be so stubborn?"

"Even the mighty 'Guangfa Gang Lei' couldn't blast him into dust. What kind of martial arts technique did that 'Primordial Dragon Elephant' possess after merging with his body? It's absolutely terrifying!"

"I went through countless hardships to trap it on the 'Altar of Heaven,' waiting for the grand ceremony to be held down by the divine presence of the gods."

"After going to such a huge cost, how can we let you few reap the benefits? Humph!"

Looking at the devastation his temple was in, the Three-Five Slayer God was overwhelmed with emotion and could not calm down for a long time.

Then he looked at the boundary gate, his eyes filled with determination!

at the same time.

Jiangyin Prefecture, Beicang Marquis's Residence!

This day.

A towering figure clad in armor and wielding a spear arrived at the gate!

Xiao Mingli, dressed in formal attire, pushed the black iron wheelchair, followed by her junior sister Li Xuanyi, who had once been one of the Ten Heavenly Pillars, 'Tianchi'. Looking at that figure, she smiled faintly.
"Father, did you receive a transfer order because of the matter at the Jiangyin Prefecture gate and come here specifically?"

Marquis of Beicang, Xiao Pingnan!
The only person from Jiangyin Prefecture to be granted a marquisate since the beginning of the Jiazi era.
You've arrived!
