Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 208 The Fourth Limit - Martial Arts Body! A Heavenly Eye can awaken the characteristics of a 'Human Immortal'!
The Temple of the Three-Five Slaying Evil Gods.

At the foot of the mountains.

That place of divine power, ruled by the descendants of the 'Divine Family' and 'Divine Blood Nobles'.

Having already broken through the bottleneck by Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang, Xu Longxiang directly knocked on the gate of the mansion and drove straight in as if it were empty.

A titled martial arts master and a contemporary giant take the lead.

Such a display of power posed no obstacle whatsoever to the Divine Palace, which only had the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord' as its sole presiding figure, a being at the Upper Three Realms.

soon.

As Ji Xiu stood at the foot of that 'temple' mountain, looking up, he could vaguely see the outline of that 'temple'.

But something is strange.

Even when they reached the gates of this 'temple'.
The 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God' still hasn't shown up.

Even some of the generals and divine messengers under his command were nowhere to be seen, making it hard to believe that this was actually the central hub of one of the eight hundred divine palaces, a place comparable to the military headquarters of the Great Xuan County Government or the Prefectural Government.

"This 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Temple' is the central hub of the Divine Palace, how can it be so quiet?"

Could it be that the Three-Five Slaying God-King, seeing the army's defeat was catastrophic and beyond saving, simply fled?

Ji Xiu secretly pondered to himself.

And then I heard his whispers.

Xiao Pingnan, who was at the forefront, shook his head:

"will not."

“The cultivation of the divine path is different from the cultivation of immortals and martial arts like us. No general or divine lord who has been granted an imperial decree would give up his own general's altar or divine lord's temple.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu became somewhat curious:
"Oh? My lord, is there any explanation for this?"

Before setting off towards this temple of the gods.

This legendary figure in Jiangyin Prefecture actually condescended to talk to him repeatedly, and his words and actions were quite gentle, just like an elder chatting with a family member, making Ji Xiu feel very comfortable.

Perhaps it was because Xu Longxiang broke through to the Giant Realm, or perhaps it was because of Xiao Mingli.

Regardless, this made Ji Xiu's impression of the Marquis of Beicang become somewhat familiar, and even though he followed closely behind him, he was not at all restrained.

Therefore, he had doubts and asked them directly.

"For those who want to enter the divine path, they need to build a shrine, a general's altar, and a temple to the god."

"And if we want to maintain these things, we need incense offerings."

“A town or village with hundreds of households can erect a ‘shrine’ and bestow upon a grass-root god whose power is comparable to the immortal robes of a celestial being; the incense offerings of a county can support a guardian deity; and the thoughts of the people of a prefecture are enough to keep a deity in his daily cultivation.”

"As for anything higher."

"Then it is necessary to spread one's 'name' so that the vast masses of people can leave their outline and concept, in order to condense 'authority'."

"But such figures have already transcended the actual practice of offering incense and have entered into higher levels, which even I, the Marquis, do not know in detail."

"But one thing is certain: our divine ruler is clearly far from reaching that level."

"This Temple of the Three-Five Slayers of Sin, as the foundation of the Three-Five Slayers of Sin, is unlike those other Heavenly Gods who, once their names are spread, will never be erased and will remain among the stars. Therefore, once this divine palace is gone..."

“His cultivation will be greatly reduced from now on, and if this continues, not only will his cultivation stagnate, but he may also fall from his previous level.”

"This concerns the foundation of one's cultivation. As long as there is even the slightest chance, one should not give up easily."

Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang looked at the partially revealed, somewhat crumbling, magnificent temple that had been damaged during Xu Longxiang's first attack, and spoke in a solemn tone:

"If something unexpected happens later, and a fierce battle really breaks out, or the incarnation of the 'Guangfa Ganglei Divine Saint' descends, you kid, remember to be smart and avoid it if you can."

“My daughter told me about how you used the ‘Searching Mountains and Catching the Sea’ Taoist talisman to catch spirit fish and alleviate her chronic illness.”

"When I came here, my daughter Xiao Mingli specifically instructed me to take care of you."

"If she hadn't spoken, even if I wanted to break into the 'Gate of Heaven,' I wouldn't have been able to so quickly trample the sacrificial altar and wipe out all those divine generals and divine armor in one fell swoop."

As they entered the temple of the deity, Xiao Pingnan gave Ji Xiu some instructions.

Ji Xiu naturally agreed and expressed his gratitude, but when he thought of Xiao Mingli from the Beicang Marquis's mansion, he felt a pang of emotion.

That young lady is such a good person.

All told, he had only presented her with one precious plant and two spirit fish, but the help and assistance she provided enabled him to make connections throughout the entire city.

In terms of friendship, although they had only known each other for two or three months, Ji Xiu considered it one of the few deep friendships he had.

During their conversation.

Xu Longxiang, leading the three chiefs, took the lead and kicked open the 'closed' main gate of the temple.

Even before arriving, Ji Xiu's master had already made a bold statement, promising to bring another divine palace, comparable in size to Jiangyin Prefecture, to the territory of Da Xuan Beicang.

This statement is certainly not unfounded.

As the core hub that gathers the entire destiny of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Palace', it only needs to control the spiritual energy of this place and replace it with the destiny of the Human Immortal Martial Dao.

This would cause the boundary gate to erode in the opposite direction, directly dragging this territory into the territory of Anning County.

As the saying goes, one thing rises while another falls.

Originally, the Three-Five Slaying Evil God had ambitions for the Earth Dragon Cave, Anning County, and even Jiangyin Prefecture, with this very idea in mind.

Now that the roles have been reversed, Xu Longxiang can naturally follow suit, and the real Xu Longxiang will arrive even more daringly, violently, and swiftly than him!
As long as everything goes smoothly.

On the spot, it could cause the land to collapse and the sea to change, and make the original five hundred miles of the Earth Dragon Cave directly connect with this 'Three Five Slaying Evil God Palace', and from then on be incorporated into the territory of the Great Xuan!
Moreover, once this 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace' falls into the Great Mystery.
Such a coveted prize must have made countless people envious and jealous.
It's important to understand that this is not just equivalent to receiving the millions of lives in the entire divine palace.

It also represents a brand-new prefecture city, prefecture officials, major institutions, schools of thought, and a complete industrial chain of various industries, as well as an external system and resources that Da Xuan does not have!
Under such temptation, even a martial saint would covet it and want to send people to get a share of the pie. One can imagine how much benefit one could gain if one could seize the opportunity first.

Fortunately, his mentor has now been promoted; otherwise, as a mere veteran Martial Saint, he might not have been able to gain much influence in this situation.

As the tightly closed gates of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Temple' opened...
Ji Xiu's eyes were initially filled with curiosity as he wanted to see what the internal outline of a top-tier divine palace, comparable to a secret realm of a true sect, looked like.

What came into view, however, took his breath away.

All I saw was —

Divine blood splattered on the bent and collapsed divine pillars;

Among the shattered altars of the generals, the heads of the guardian deities still glared angrily.

The ground was littered with the corpses of divine messengers and those in divine blood, lying haphazardly, filling the once solemn and dignified temple with an atmosphere of grimness.

And look ahead, gazing into the distance.

At the end of those long stone steps, before the throne representing the supreme position of the Divine Lord, stood a middle-aged martial artist with flowing black hair, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his face showing signs of about thirty, motionless as a clay sculpture.

behind his back.

A magnificent statue, several meters tall, had a wooden knife stuck in its forehead and between its brows, from which flowed the purest blood of a divine lord, leaving it on the verge of death.

As the statue behind the warrior grew increasingly emaciated.

Instead, his aura became even more profound and unfathomable!

The blazing martial arts energy, like a blazing sun in the sky, never extinguished, shone brightly in the eyes of Ji Xiu and the others.

"This"

Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang looked surprised.

He gazed at the nearly destroyed statue, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

No wonder the central area of ​​this temple was so quiet all the way there; there wasn't even the aura of that Three-Five Slayer God.
It turns out that the deity himself, along with his subordinates, all fell in this temple, and not a single one escaped!
But what is the background of this warrior? He's so brave, directly penetrating the core of the Divine Palace, and...
They even took the lead over them, stripping them of their divine destiny and taking over its control!
If we were to drag the entire divine realm of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Palace' into the Great Xuan and transform it into territory under the jurisdiction of Beicang, then...

Only someone who embezzled the Three-Five Slaying Evil God as resources, and who seized the entire temple's fortune and obtained the power to offer incense to millions of local households could have done this!

Xu Longxiang narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, his arms were wrapped in giant chains of lightning, his body shimmering with purple light, and his bones seemed to form their own 'universe,' with muffled thunder rumbling from his abdomen from time to time. He was a colossus, domineering and unparalleled.

Even so, Xu Longxiang still sensed a slight sense of unease about this person.

Not only that.

The old man frowned as he looked at the middle-aged martial artist, a growing suspicion creeping into his eyes:
"I just always feel..."

"Where have I seen this guy before?"

He muttered to himself.

And so the movement was conveyed.

At this moment, the warrior finally opened his eyes.

He slowly stood up.
Just as the pillars supporting this divine palace rose up together, instantly causing the entire 'Three-Five Slaying Evil Divine Palace', along with the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, to rise up.
At this moment, they all began to sway slightly!

"This is!"

Xiao Pingnan was even more surprised.

It can be clearly seen in his eyes, which hold the title of martial arts master.

As the warrior rose, his body merged with the temple, and he devoured the authority of the Three-Five Slayer God.
The first thing he did was to use the destiny of the 'Human Immortal Martial Path' to absorb the cultivation destiny of the 'Divine Path System'.

In an instant, the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Palace,' one of the eight hundred divine palaces, was directly peeled away from the divine net above!
And the next step.

The land, rivers, and seas of the entire Divine Palace gradually connected with the other side of the boundary gate, namely the Great Mystery!

This is also the reason why the earthquake is currently causing slight tremors!
If there were a high-level Taoist master who had condensed his Purple Mansion, he could travel day and night, ascend to immortality, and not be afraid of the yin winds and scorching sun. He could directly send his primordial spirit out of his body and rise into the air for a hundred miles, where he could see everything clearly.

That is————

Under this person's control, the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Palace' is slowly passing through that boundary gate and merging into the Great Xuan!
Moreover, it has already bordered the Earth Dragon Cave, connecting the land, rivers, and sea!

Once this 'trend' is fully completed.
From then on, the Great Xuan would have one more prefecture, ruled by the divine court of the Central Yellow Heaven.
It will also completely erase one link!
Who on earth is this person!?
In an instant, this thought crossed everyone's mind.

Xu Longxiang took a half step forward, his face showing some displeasure. He was about to speak to see who this guy who had snatched food from his hands was.

But the other man spoke first, raising his hand and pointing to a large coffin on the side, saying:
"Your disciple's remains were almost reduced to ashes by the temple master when I arrived, but I managed to stop him."

"I owe you a favor from before, so I'll repay it here."

apprentice!

Xu Longxiang, who was initially somewhat displeased, suddenly changed his expression upon hearing these words and seeing the coffin.

Beside him, the three chief disciples of the Dragon Elephant True Sect, upon seeing the appearance of their patriarch, immediately went to examine the coffin.

A few breaths later, as Tuoba Yue turned and nodded earnestly to Xu Longxiang, in an instant, this newly minted, spirited titled Martial Saint aged considerably.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Someone who has cultivated to this level wouldn't need to lie to him in a place like this.

just
Favor?

Just as Xu Longxiang was pondering something.

The warrior was already looking at Ji Xiu.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Ji Xiu, who was already somewhat familiar with the man, was immediately startled when they made eye contact, and an absurd thought arose in his mind.

This person looks exactly like Wang Xuanyang, the ancestor who cultivated the 'Reincarnation Heavenly Art' and devoured the remnants of the 'Immortal, God, and Demon' paths?
But wasn't he supposed to be a decrepit old man, and even a bit crazy? When did he become so lucid?
But before he could speak...

The warrior had already revealed the answer himself.

Looking at the 'titled sword plaque' on Ji Xiu's back, the middle-aged martial artist with flowing black hair stood with his hands behind his back, his expression complex:

"Master, so you're not quite dead yet."

Master?

Noticing that his gaze was fixed on the plaque behind him, Ji Xiu felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Danding's apprentice, isn't that him?!

The man before them, who had annihilated the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God,' intended to drag an entire 'Divine Palace' into Anning County.
It really was his grandmaster, Wang Xuanyang!?
What incredible fortune has he received to defy his natural innate abilities and become so much younger!
"But then again, you little guy, you're really lucky."

"Throughout the world, there are very few people who are destined to be able to make the 'Martial Saint's Remnant Will' resonate and be slightly revived."

"But you actually did it."

"You must know"

Wang Xuanyang paused:

“Our lineage has lost most of its inheritance, especially the most outstanding batch who forged the ‘Martial Arts Body’ after the Qi Refining masters. Most of the inheritance methods have been lost.”

"But when Master Chen was carving this 'knife plaque' back then, he happened to brand a copy onto it."

"Since you can awaken his 'lingering resentment,' you will receive the gifts he left behind. At least after becoming a Qi Refining Master, you will have a clear path to breaking through the four limits of the 'Martial Arts Body'!"

Breaking the four limits, the martial arts treasure body!?

In that instant, Ji Xiu's heart began to pound as he learned of Wang Xuanyang's identity.

Then, Wang Xuanyang suddenly sighed again:

"But then again, if you're unlucky, how could I, as your grandmaster, take advantage of your momentum and, in a moment of confusion and lapse in judgment, help you overcome the two most difficult 'calamities' in succession?"

"The best thing I did all these years was to take you in as my foolish disciple in Jiangyin Prefecture."

"When your master Duan Chenzhou took you in, he should have told you what kind of temperament I, your grandmaster, am."

"Since you're such a promising young man, this is our first formal meeting as grandfather and grandson."

“Grandmaster, I will naturally give you some ‘good stuff’.”

"But the two who ambushed us in Anning County before were too poor; they didn't have any good stuff on them."

"For now, I'll give you this 'divine palace'."

Wang Xuanyang smiled and waved, speaking in the most ordinary tone but uttering the most shocking words. Then, he suddenly turned around and drew the wooden sword!

scoff!

In a single strike, the Heavenly Eye between the eyebrows of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord' was pierced out and transformed into a 'Jade Bead'!
this moment.

The 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord', who was originally on the verge of death, began to tremble violently as the Heavenly Eye was peeled away, as if resisting, but to no avail.

This also indirectly confirms the importance of this item.

Wang Xuanyang, however, peeled it out like an egg and tossed it to Ji Xiu:

"Just as a government office gathers great profound energy and possesses a 'royal token,' this divine palace in the Yellow Heaven also possesses a treasure of destiny."

"Although I absorbed most of the energy within this 'Heavenly Eye' to overcome tribulations, eliminate negative thoughts, and replenish my Heavenly Merit, its essence remains."

"If you refine it, and if there is even the slightest bit of luck or opportunity..."

"Perhaps he could awaken a 'human immortal' characteristic, and have the potential to rival those 'great families' who are born into the family and inherit ancestral blood."

"But even if it doesn't awaken, it doesn't matter. It can still share in the destiny of this divine palace. Once this divine palace is completely integrated into the Great Xuan, I will petition the Northern Cang to promote the 'Heavenly Blade School' to a 'True Sect'."

"This divine palace is the fiefdom of our Heavenly Blade lineage!"

"And you are the first Lord of the Manor!"

"This is the gift from your grandmaster!"

(P.S.: I was planning to take a nap last night, but I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately. I had to get back to work as soon as I woke up this morning QAQ. I'm sorry, I'll definitely make up for the missed update during the holiday.)
