Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 220 If I become the Azure Emperor in the future, I will make the peach blossoms bloom everywhere! They must all call me Master Ji!
"Tell me the truth."

"Just now, when I transmitted the 'Royal Power Body' to you, what exactly did you comprehend through the divine essence within it?"

Inadvertently.

Chen Danding's lingering resentment trembled slightly.

Outsiders were unaware of the details.

However, as a direct disciple of the ancestral court of swordsmanship, two hundred years ago, the ancestor Wang Quan established a new lineage of 'orthodox methods'.
As long as they were disciples or students who lived through that era.

It's safe to say that everyone knows it!
Who doesn't know.

On the day that Ancestor Wang Quan was brought to the 'Sword Court' by Zhou Chongyang, the Lord of the Sword Court, did all seven halls, five academies, and twelve righteous laws know their names?!
By then, Chen Danding had already passed away. Even though only his remnant soul remained, his memories still contained records of that period of time.

At that time.

He was a disciple of the Five Academies, but only a registered member of the Sword Court. He was not yet considered a disciple of the Seventh Hall, let alone a true successor.

Despite bearing the name of a pillar of heaven, they are like oxen and horses crawling on the ground, looking up at dragons and elephants.

They could only hope that one day they could be as radiant and spirited as those who were bestowed with personal swords in the 'Hidden Sword Hall' and whose names were recorded in the Sword Court's register.

That day.

In the ancestral temple of the sword path, where snow falls year-round, at the towering mountain gate atop a thousand-foot cliff, the sixteen-year-old patriarch 'Wang Quan Wu Mu' arrived from the foot of the mountain. As he stepped onto the snow-covered stone steps, he caused the entire sword temple to tremble, drawing upon five 'titled divine swords' to unleash their sword energy and shake the sword temple!
that day.

One of the Ten Heavenly Pillars, the 'Ancestral Court of the Sword Dao,' who in the entire sect does not know you?

It was on that very day.

At the foot of the mountain, in one of the Five Directions Sword Academy, Chen Danding, who was diligently practicing his swordsmanship, could not grip the trembling long sword in his hand, even though he was exerting all his strength and blood.

It is said that.

On that day, the ancestor Wang Quan was favored by the divine sword, which caused a once top-grade third-rank ultimate weapon to willingly shed its former glory and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, refining its sword intent, and manifesting the two characters 'Wang Quan' on its hilt.

that moment.

He yearned for royal power as if he were an ant looking at the blue sky.

It was also the first time that I learned about the martial arts treasure body, the 'Innate Dao Body - Human Immortal Primordial Embryo'.

The Great Mystic has a special ranking of the 'Martial Arts Treasure Body' that has been recorded throughout history, which is called the 'Treasure Body Ranking'.

Among them are heroes from all over the world, as numerous as carp crossing a river, and the secret teachings of various lineages, clans, pillars of heaven, and great families are as vast as the ocean, totaling more than eight hundred kinds to date!
The 'Royal Power Body' created for that ancestor of royal power is enough to rank among the top 100, occupying 77th place, which is already an extremely terrifying ranking.

It should be noted that the Martial Arts Body is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the higher the level, the greater the requirements.

Even though some martial arts treasures are ranked among the top, the requirements for learning them are extremely demanding. Either the methods have been lost, or no one has been able to comprehend or understand them for decades or even centuries.

If someone in this world could condense a complete version of the 'Royal Power Body', with its true essence, they would be more than capable of breaking into the top ten of the 'Young Dragon Stele'.

Originally, I thought that my descendant, by comprehending the 'Royal Power Body,' would be able to carry the family name and achieve great things.

But Chen Danding never expected this.
He actually comprehended the method of forging the 'Human Immortal Embryo' with just a wisp of insignificant energy!

It should be noted that this "Human Immortal Primordial Embryo" has been recorded in the "Treasured Body Ranking" of the Great Xuan Dynasty for nine hundred years, ranking seventh!
The first six all appeared in the world before the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty, belonging to the first eight great dynasties of human immortals, the first eight thousand years. There are very few records of them, only a few words.

In other words.

Since the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty, numerous bodies such as the Precious Body, Divine Body, Royal Body, and Holy Body have emerged over the years.
The only one who has truly manifested in the world and displayed its power is Wang Quan Wumu's 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo', which is absolutely true!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the number one martial arts body that spans the modern era!

Is that even possible?
According to those ancient heterodox systems, the "Human Immortal Primordial Embryo" of Master Wangquan is clearly an innate Dao body that cannot be cultivated later.

However, the aura emanating from his disciple was undeniable. After all, Chen Danding had witnessed it firsthand, not just heard about it. This aura was clearly identical to that of his disciple!
"Senior Dan Ding, didn't you just tell me about the two founders of my Sword Dao Ancestral Court?"

"Within this divine book you passed on to me, I condensed a wisp of spiritual essence, faintly..."

Ji Xiu pondered for a moment, then deliberately paused:
"I visualized a figure from behind."

Chen Danding's breath hitched, and he instinctively pressed for an answer:

"What back view?"

He recalled the last scene he witnessed when he transformed into a king with no end in sight, carrying the Daoist talisman as a 'dream of wealth and power'.

When Ji Xiu recalled the ancient divine sword that he had held and used to unleash the first move of the Great Five Decays Heavenly Blade, "Calamity Fire Burns Clothes," the two gilded characters "Royal Power" were spontaneously branded onto the hilt.

He only answered:
"That figure was so faint and unsteady that I couldn't see it clearly."

"but"

“But I saw it clearly: his body contained five secret treasures, like an inextinguishable candle flame, which mobilized the Qi Sea and drew true Qi in the positions of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, forming a self-circulating system, just like the “Zhou Tian breathing exercise”.

"Among them, a 'heart treasure' formed from the heart has a divine sword engraved with 'royal power' that slowly rotates in the center, radiating endless ancient sharpness."

"I tentatively touched it once and twice, and it contained some of the spiritual essence hidden in that heart, which I instinctively refined."

"Then the physical body received a gift, and without any explanation, the 'Heart Treasury,' one of the five internal organs, was opened, allowing the martial artist to advance further in his cultivation!"

"As for the key points within, I know very little about them, Grandmaster of Alchemy. Isn't this the 'Royal Power Body' that you passed down to me?"

The Primordial Dao Register is of great importance; it is the greatest secret that Ji Xiu keeps buried deep in his heart.

Therefore, regardless of distance or familiarity, he never revealed it, which was not only good for himself but also for others.

When Chen Danding heard Ji Xiu's slightly concealed but basically consistent description of the characteristics of a 'human immortal embryo', his originally listless resentment was replaced by excitement and trembling.

At this moment, he no longer possessed much of the grand vision and imposing demeanor he once had.

He simply placed his hands on Ji Xiu's shoulders, his gaze fixed intently on him, his tone more serious than ever before:
"Remember, you must remember."

"If anyone outside tries to probe or inquires about the specific 'martial arts body' you are cultivating, you will be met with indifference."

"You must tell them that you've cultivated Wang Quan Wu Mu's 'Royal Treasure Body'!"

"Even your master, grandmaster, and your closest relatives are no exception!"

Hearing Chen Danding's dying words, Ji Xiu was certain that he had noticed something amiss, but he still asked the question knowing the answer:

"Senior, isn't what I'm refining the 'Royal Power Body'?"

The lingering spirit of the great swordsman before them floated in the air, remaining silent for a long time before nodding and then shaking their heads.
No, I'm not sure either.

"but"

"The path of 'Martial Arts Body' you are taking is definitely not the Royal Power Body. It is very likely, very likely, the 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo' of the original King Power Ancestor!"

"If it truly is a 'human immortal embryo'..."

He paused for a moment, muttering to himself, before speaking heavily:
"I hope that in the future, you will be able to integrate the remnants of the Blade Court, and that all those who survive the fragmentation of the seven palaces, five academies, and twelve main disciples of the entire Northern Territory of 'White Mountains and Black Waters' will worship your name!"

"Since the fall of Zhou Chongyang, the number one master under heaven, and the disappearance of the young Wang Quan ancestor, the Sword Court has had no one to hold the reins."

"In addition, the Second Ancestor strongly supported the Emperor's ascension to the throne, which led to the Sword Dao Ancestral Court being attacked by all sides."

"At that time, both patriarchs had passed away, and nine out of ten senior members were dead. In the end, they had no choice but to remove the name 'Tianzhu' (Heavenly Pillar), divide their property, and disband. From then on, they became estranged, each ruling their own territory and ignoring worldly affairs."

"The Northern Peak, which was worshipped for hundreds of years, has come to an end."

At this point, Chen Danding looked dejected.

"Only 'Grandmaster Chongyang' and 'Grandmaster Wangquan' are capable of lifting the great cauldron of the Blade Court."

"But now that the two are gone, there is not a single person in the sword lineage who has the prestige to command respect."

“Your grandmaster was exceptionally talented. He reversed the cycle of reincarnation and broke into the Great Tomb of the Disintegration of Soldiers. Even back then, he was second only to Grandmaster Chongyang and Grandmaster Wangquan.”

"Even so, I'm afraid it's not enough, but you're different!"

Chen Danding's eyes were piercing:
"Boy."

"Let me ask you a question."

"Years later."

"Have you ever dreamed of becoming the true, towering ruler of this great world of human immortals and martial arts?!" "To command thousands of warriors to henceforth obey your name, and at all times, to kowtow and prostrate themselves in reverence?!"

Hear the words.

Ji Xiu's throat bobbed, but his soul felt nothing; he only felt his tongue coating dry.

The alchemy master who is the originator of the Heavenly Blade lineage is making empty promises to himself.

Chen Danding was a firsthand witness to those 'torn apart' years, but even someone as powerful as him, a giant of his generation, could not escape the fate of dying a violent death in a foreign land.

Before comprehending the 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo', even with the Primordial Dao Talisman as a reliance, Ji Xiu would definitely feel uncertain and like he was walking on thin ice if he rashly ventured into such a shocking secret.

but.
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Zhou.

Even though the 'Dream of the Yellow Millet' was short-lived, it still managed to gather all of Wang Quanwumu's sixteen years of memories into Ji Xiu's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

Those memories, like a gentle stream, included Zhang Xuanye and Jiang Jing; he could recall them clearly.

Rather than saying those are just vague and unfounded names from ancient history.

And isn't he, Ji Xiu, also the embodiment of himself in the long river of time?

That feeling was extremely real; it wasn't that I was intruding into someone else's memories, but rather a genuine life experience that I created myself!

I am the monarchy!

I am without twilight!

Although I don't know why Chen Danding's lingering thoughts spoke of disintegration, but...
To be the leader of the 'ancestral court of swordsmanship'?
I never thought of that before.

but now.
The grand purpose of reshaping the Sword Court slowly took shape in Ji Xiu's mind.

From the rise of the 'Heavenly Blade Lineage', from a school to a true sect, and then to a dream of imperial power, his life has been inextricably linked to the ancestral court of the sword!

As the saying goes, the strong should be respected, and heroes should dare to be the first. If I am truly a king without end, then it would be rightful for me to rule over the White Mountains and Black Waters, the northern states, and to wield a divine sword that hangs over half of the Great Xuan.

Ji Xiu thought to himself.

Of course, the status of the Dragon Elephant True Sect is also extremely revered.

But as the leader of the ancestral home of the swordsmanship, possessing half of the 'White Mountains and Black Waters' of the Great Xuan realm, one's horizons are clearly much broader.

But before that, he had to pass the 'Prefectural Examination'.

Chen Danding took in all of Ji Xiu's changes in expression.

He was not intimidated by his own words; on the contrary, his eyes shone brightly, like those of an owl or a wolf, just like his grandmaster.

For a moment, I was extremely satisfied.

In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary to produce extraordinary heroes.

Without this ambition, it would be difficult to achieve great things!

Although I am left with only remnants of my soul and am no longer even my original self, I can still die in peace and enter the cycle of heaven and earth and the four seasons, thanks to the fact that my lineage has produced such disciples and grand-disciples.

But until then.

"Your grandmaster is going to lay the foundation for the 'True Sect'?"

Chen Danding's illusory body drifted away.

Ji Xiu agreed upon hearing this.

"Then I will hold on to my last breath and leave my martial saintly essence to my offspring, giving him a future."

In Anning County, night falls, and the moon and stars are few.

Ji Xiu opened his eyes.

Behind them, an ancient, simple plaque glows dimly.

at the same time.

[Human Immortal Embryo: (1/5)!]

[Using the 'Peak of a Thousand-Foot Blade' from the ancestral home of swordsmanship as a guide, and the essence of five titled divine swords as a foundation, blast open a 'Heart's Treasury'!]

[The heart belongs to the fire element; from this point on, one's strength will greatly increase, as if a dragon or elephant is emerging. The internal organs will function like soldiers, and the seven orifices will become exquisitely clear. As long as the image contained within the heart remains, all kinds of injuries can heal themselves!]

The Primordial Dao Records slowly emerged.

At the same time, Ji Xiu introspected.

You can see above your own heart.

A small knife engraved with the word 'Royal Power' is quietly suspended in the air.

This is the mysterious 'titled divine sword' that he finally grasped at the ancestral temple of swordsmanship.

It is said that it was brought back by the first ancestor, Ren Chunqiu, and inserted into a sheer cliff thousands of feet high.

I wonder where they are now.

Ji Xiu tentatively tried to learn a thing or two about this method, but found that he could no longer study it with the dream of wealth and power.

Instead, it was————

[Taoist Records: The Yellow Millet Dream]

Current refining progress: 30%

[Once the supernatural power is fully refined into the dream, the refinement progress will increase.]

[Currently in the dream state, the 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo' is being energized.]

[If the person who bestowed the ordination wishes to enter the 'Yellow Millet Dream' again and advance the refinement of the 'Human Immortal Embryo,' they must wait until the energy is fully replenished, which takes one month.]

[Or perhaps, during the process, one seeks a trigger to enter the dream, to replenish their energy.]

So, this 'dream of the Yellow Millet' in the Primordial Dao Records can't be indulged in forever?

Ji Xiu felt somewhat regretful about this.

But on second thought, it's normal.

If one could truly enter dreams indefinitely, that would be far too incredible.

unfortunately
If I could refine the five secret treasures under the identity of 'Wang Quan Wu Mu', I feel the chances would be much greater than if I were in my true form.

But it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, his resources are quite plentiful now. He has taken care of the affairs of 'Anning County', and there are troops stationed in Jiangyin in the new prefecture to guard the Earth Dragon Cave.

The Heavenly Blade lineage is about to advance to the 'Heavenly Blade True Sect'; judging by the time, it's about time.

He packed his bags, summoned the Dragon Lord 'Cangming Lord', and set off across the vast ocean to Jin'ao Island!

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

When I left Anning County for Jiangyin Prefecture, I was nothing but a lowly nobody.

Any dojo or powerful sect can mold and manipulate you at will. If it weren't for the support and assistance of your fellow practitioners, your situation would be extremely difficult.

But now, the roles have reversed!
The Heavenly Blade True Sect Ascension Ceremony, Eight Directions Ferry Crossing, Thirty-Six Trades
Which one must not bow down in worship?

Even disregarding his title of "Heavenly Blade Daoist," these people who were once high and mighty in their Qi Seas would have to obediently dismount and call him "Master Ji" when they faced Ji Xiu, who had now broken open a hole in his Heart Treasury!
A good night's sleep.

The next day.

Looking at the undulating waves of the dock, the outline of that 'important city on the sea' appears and disappears in the distance, and a dragon bows its head before my eyes.

Just like before.

But the form is no longer the same!
