Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 229: He studied all the laws and called himself Impermanent. All the heavens returned to one time, and he personally ended the era of 'Man and Demon'!
Stars hang low over the plains, beyond Jin'ao Island, rivers and seas flow, waves roll, and a bright moon shines over the great river.

The relentless roar of the waves resonated deep within Ji Xiu's heart.

He was called the first time, linking "the Lord of Impermanence of All Things" with "Jiang Jing".

He was unaware of this before.

Therefore, when he heard Daoist Chijing shatter the mystery in a single sentence, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall the brief period when he was comprehending the Daoist scriptures of the immortals and advancing to the 'High-Level Daoist Master,' relying on the 'Yellow Millet Dream' derived from the Jade Record of Divine Power.

Just as there is no twilight for royal power.

Ji Xiu's brief life was dominated by his time as 'Jiang Jing'.

Despite being ignored by both his biological father, the "magic master" Jiang Shenji, and his mother, the "divine woman of the Daoist lineage" Meng Qingfan, he did not engage in cultivation and still entered the Sumeru Cave.

Despite facing competition from numerous prestigious families, he successfully passed the trials and obtained the true teachings of the Sumeru Cave. He was enlightened by a single word from the Sumeru Patriarch and thus cultivated the Great Dao Purple Mansion.

This experience left a deep impression on him, so he wanted to explore his identity and background during that period.

But did not expect
A casual question I asked today.

But he uncovered a shocking secret!
All things are impermanent – ​​Jiang Jing!
To be honest...

This shocked Ji Xiu even more than when he transformed into 'Wang Quan Wu Mu'.

only because.

Wang Quan Wu Mu was the junior brother of the last descendant of the Dao Ting from two hundred years ago, so he could be considered a 'modern person'.

But all things are impermanent, Lord Dao.
According to previous records from Beicanghou and other sources, they were active more than nine hundred years ago, in that chaotic and disorderly 'era' before the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty!
The records of the Great Xuan Dynasty, when viewed from the frontier, only extend to the beginning of the dynasty's founding.

Earlier and more recent descriptions are vague.

If it weren't for the long history of the lineage, and the fact that the Great Xuan already had a foundation of power before its establishment, they would know very little about the records of that era, making it impossible to verify.

And the existence that could be active at that point in time, wielding such an astonishing title as 'Lord of the Impermanence of All Things'
It's definitely not simple!
Simply because the figures active during that period, if placed in the context of current historical records...
Without exception, they were all renowned figures!
For example, the 'Great Mystery Lord' who opened up the Great Mystery.

For example...
The Ten Directions Heavenly Pillar Ancestor, the First Generation of Ten Ancestors!
The origin of the nine great families, the first Duke!
It was truly a constellation of stars.

While Ji Xiu was pondering this in his heart, Daoist Chi Jing had no idea what he was thinking.

During the photography season, one cultivates a wisp of energy and applies 'Six Lines Divination' in the process.

Taking advantage of a lull, I overheard Ji Xiu's inquisitive tone, and recalling some ancient scrolls from the Myriad Laws Sect containing records about this name, I couldn't help but sigh:

"He was quite remarkable back in the day."

"You must have heard the rumors circulating in your 'Beicang' recently, right?"

"It is said that there was once a Yuan Mansion left behind by the Daoist Lord of the Impermanent River in the Eastern Canghai, which is about to be born. I once heard Ji Wei talk about it. Young friend Ji once aspired to take the exam to become an official of the Great Xuan Mansion."

Daoist Chijing's gaze lingered on Ji Xiu:
"as far as I know."

"Your current examination for prefectural officials in Beicang is somewhat related to this matter. You will be competing with the secret sects of the Daoist lineage that have opened a gate to the realm, as well as the younger generation of the Water Lord's Mansion. It will be quite a lively competition."

"And the location is very likely related to that 'Yuanfu Ruins'."

Chi Jing Dao Ren's words interrupted Ji Xiu's thoughts, startling him.

Ji Xiu had never heard of this rumor before, and he was surprised that Daoist Chijing knew so much about it.
No wonder that when the feudal lord Chen Xuanque mentioned the examination for government officials, his eyes were filled with expectation and scrutiny.

The reason why this year's examination for prefectural officials is different from any previous one is that it will be unprecedentedly difficult, and it also concerns the face of the Great Xuan!
However, before Ji Xiu could press further, he heard Daoist Chijing continue recounting the records concerning the Daoist Lord of Impermanence, 'Jiang Jing':

"Although our lineage has few records of this Great Dao Lord, there are only a few words about him."

“More than nine hundred years ago, the Great Profound Heaven and the Crimson Heaven were not like they are now. The boundary gate was unstable and could dissipate at any time. It was difficult for powerful beings to travel between them, and the connection between heaven and earth was severed.”

Daoist Chijing was known for his outrageous pronouncements, and he immediately dropped a major secret.

"The heavens where Da Xuan stands were once the source of all heavens. Every thousand years, due to the pull of some 'thing,' a 'gate' connecting all heavens is created and remains there forever."

"When that time comes, it will be a time of great prosperity across the land!"

"Whether it's the immortals, the Pure Land, or the divine path, all the famous great heavens will unite with the Great Mystery, hence it is also called the 'Time of the Unity of All Heavens'!"

"Of course, in your Great Xuan's records, it is called 'Yang Jiu Great Barrier, Millennium Calamity.' This opportunity, when all heavens unite, spiritual energy is abundant, and cultivation shackles are broken, is seen as a great calamity that will shake the foundation of the Human Immortal Dynasty's rule."

All the heavens unite as one, the Great Calamity of Yang Jiu begins!
Ji Xiu felt a chill run down his spine as he silently counted the days of the Great Xuan Calendar on his fingers. When he turned around, he was startled.

More than nine hundred years have passed since the Great Xuan Dynasty was founded, which means...
In the near future, I will personally experience the 'time when all the heavens unite'?
"Those turbulent times are bound to be chaotic and disorderly."

"At this time, as people's hearts begin to change and various Daoist systems wage war against each other in an attempt to seize an opportunity, the 'chaotic world' will breed evil."

"And the source of this evil is the Abyss, which is outside of the orthodox cultivation system, such as the Immortal Path, Pure Land, Divine Path, Human Immortal Martial Path, etc."

"The aura of the abyss originates from this."

Ji Xiu understood the aura of the deep cave.

Previously, in the Earth Dragon Cave, those ordinary mountain spirits and wild beasts, having only received a few remnants of the Abyss Qi, were able to gain the equivalent of a month's worth of power in a single day, causing their cultivation to surge wildly and enabling them to advance to the level of newly born great demons, comparable to Qi Refining masters.

At this point, Daoist Chijing's expression suddenly turned solemn:
"You may have heard that 'Abyssal Qi' can transform demons and greatly increase their cultivation."

"But that's not the worst part."

“Spirits and medicines that absorb the energy of the abyss are nothing more than becoming ‘demons’.”

"And if living beings absorb the energy of the Abyss, they will become 'human demons'!"

Human-Demon.

This was a concept that Ji Xiu had never heard of before.

Immediately following, they heard the explanation from Daoist Chijing.

"This is a record that has long been sealed away. In your Great Xuan, it is estimated that only the royal family, as well as ancient martial arts sects and aristocratic families, would have detailed records of it."

"The so-called 'human demon' is someone who has reached the bottleneck of cultivation and has no hope of advancing further in this life. Therefore, they take a desperate gamble, devour the Qi of the Abyss, and throw themselves into the 'Abyss'."

"By absorbing the Qi of the Abyss, they can easily break through bottlenecks and their cultivation will advance rapidly. Even your Martial Saints, giants, or even 'Peak of the Human Realm' in the Martial Path are not impossible!"

These words caused Ji Xiu's pupils to shrink. He had never imagined that such a 'cultivation system' existed in this world.

He originally thought that only demons and monsters could absorb the Qi of the Abyss.

but.
Living beings can actually rely on it for cultivation!?

This is far more effective than spending day and night cultivating one's inspiration and strengthening one's body!

However, for every gain, there must be a loss.

The term 'human demon' doesn't sound like a good title at all.
Ji Xiu felt a sense of unease.

When Daoist Chijing brought this up, his eyes revealed a deep-seated apprehension:

"Once a human-demon is cultivated and enters the Abyss, it is not the same as what you imagine, falling into the abyss and becoming completely irrational."

"They have the same mindset as living beings, and their previous memories, even their appearance, are exactly the same as before. Even the most powerful supernatural beings may not be able to detect anything unusual."

"but"

"They are no longer 'human'!"

"Human demons have entered the Abyss, but where does the energy of the Abyss come from?"

"It is formed when it is peeled away from the 'dark side' of human emotions and desires!"

"In order to gather those emotions such as anger, sadness, killing, and lust, and transform them into resources for spiritual practice, they will secretly stir up trouble and try every means to create chaos!"

"Those who can transform into human demons are all great cultivators, either sect elders, high-ranking officials of the dynasty, or members of aristocratic families. Their status is extremely esteemed!"

"Once these people fall into depravity, they can even spread and permeate the Abyss Qi. Once discovered, it is almost completely uncontrollable." "Therefore, as that period of history has passed, all systems have sealed it away."

"And it extinguished the greatest 'human-demon calamity' nine hundred years ago."

"It is none other than Jiang Jing, the 'Lord of Impermanence of All Things'!"

At this point, Daoist Chijing couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with longing:

"It is said that he was one of the most accomplished Taoists of that era, and he had a broad understanding of the Taoist traditions of the three original religions. Therefore, he was a scholar of all kinds of laws and was known as Wuchang (meaning impermanent)!"

"Although he is not the strongest in history, he is the lifelong pursuit of countless Daoists."

"Although there are no specific records in the Wanfa Sect, we can tell from the intermittent indirect descriptions that his life was full of ups and downs and constant hardships."

Even so, at the last moment, he personally brought an end to a nearly uncontrollable 'catastrophe of man and demon,' and finally disappeared without a trace. Perhaps he still survives in some corner of the world.

"And in such a vast period of time."

"This is the first time that the 'Yuan Mansion' has been suspected of emerging from the Great Xuan."

"So if the news is true, the number of people attracted will only increase, not decrease!"

As the last words of the Crimson Light Taoist were spoken.
The story of the Daoist Lord Jiang Jing, who believed in the impermanence of all things, and the grand, chaotic, and disorderly era, was finally revealed to Ji Xiu, with only a small part of the iceberg being lifted.

This left him speechless with astonishment.

Previously, Ji Xiu had already thought that Wang Quan Wu Mu was already quite remarkable.

Although the specifics of his deeds are unknown, he broke through the age limit of 28 and possessed the primordial embryo of a human immortal. Even if he did not reach the 'pinnacle of the mortal world' in the end, he would at least be a titled figure and a giant, far more powerful than he is now.

but!
A scholar who studied all the laws, known as Impermanence, and who was well-versed in the three teachings, Jiang Dao Shou personally brought an end to the "Age of Man and Demon," and was worshipped by countless Taoists.
This kind of existence.

It must be someone who has reached the pinnacle of human existence, comparable to someone who has knocked on the gates of heaven, or even someone who is on par with immortals!

"I don't know either."

"Will I be able to experience the life trajectory of 'Jiang Jing' again?"

"And there's Zhang Xuanye, who previously comprehended the Mysterious Flame. I feel his background is also quite extraordinary."

After a long while, Ji Xiu finally digested this massive amount of information and murmured to himself.

If you want to experience it again.

whether
Then one must find and practice the related 'martial arts' and 'techniques'?
[Human Immortal Embryo: (2/5)!]

[The essence of my heart and liver has been refined!]

[With the heart of fire, forged by the 'Kingly Sword Intent,' even metal and stone cannot be pierced!]

The liver belongs to the wood element, and is associated with "naturally occurring double pupils," indicating a continuous and inexhaustible flow of vital energy.

[The one who received the ordination received the infusion of the 'True Meaning of the Royal Power Blade,' significantly reducing the progress of the Human Immortal's comprehension of the 'Yellow Millet Dream.']

[Currently, one can enter a dreamlike state and comprehend the 'Primordial Embryo of Human Immortals'!]

Looking at the "Human Immortal Primordial Embryo" within the Primordial Dao Record, which he uses to cultivate and refine his five internal organs, he can immerse himself in and comprehend it. When he enters the identity of "Wang Quan Wu Mu" in his dream, he uses this to cultivate.

Ji Xiu couldn't help but wonder if, if he wanted to re-enter the identity of 'Jiang Jing' and explore the secrets of the divine soul regarding the impermanence of all things, he would need to collect related techniques and scriptures.
But that's incredibly difficult to find. Last time, I only managed to make a connection by relying on the 'Immortal Dao Chapter' which originated from the Sumeru Cave's inheritance.

How will we search for it next time?

"I wonder if the Yuan Mansion of the 'Lord of Impermanence of All Laws' is real or fake."

"If it is indeed true."

"Perhaps my opportunity will come."

“I once dreamed of the river view. Those memories and experiences can be recalled as easily as if they were my own, just by closing my eyes.”

"If it truly is the Yuan Dynasty reappearing in the world..."

"Perhaps we are destined to be together?"

Ji Xiu licked his lips, and a thought popped into his mind.

And this time.

"It's done."

Originally, the Daoist Chijing was using the "Six Lines Divination" technique to deduce fortune and destiny. At this moment, he saw the illusory copper coins that he had created with his magic suddenly bloom with strands of white lines, which vaguely intertwined and formed characters, revealing various phenomena.

He couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, rubbed his hands together, and a look of anticipation appeared deep in his eyes:
"Is the opportunity for me to fully cultivate the 'divine power' of this Dou Shu True Palace and advance to the level of a True Person about to arrive?!"

In the eyes of Daoist Chijing.

There are two reasons why he went on and on, revealing so many secrets.

Firstly, because Ji Xiu is Ji Wei's brother, it's necessary to establish a good relationship with this promising successor beforehand.

Secondly, it is because this supernatural power of his requires those who predict fate to practice their destiny and achieve complete mastery. They cannot die prematurely along the way. If their practice is successful, then he will consider himself to have succeeded.

He had waited a very long time for this step, because he wanted to cultivate to the highest level of 'Divine Power True Man' and go further.

Ji Xiu is not only a person with double pupils, but also possesses the Royal Body. With such qualities, he must have great fortune and destiny, and his life is very tough!

Presumably, it won't be long before his fortunes rise, helping him achieve great success!

Thinking this, Daoist Chijing couldn't help but smile.

But at that moment, someone knocked on the door. It was a newly recruited disciple of the Heavenly Blade True Sect, who had news to report to Ji Xiu:

“Ji Daozi, I heard that an old friend of yours has come to visit. He says he is Zheng Jun from the ‘Anning County Pharmacy’ and wants to see you.”

"whether."

Ok?
Upon hearing this title, Ji Xiu paused, recalling Huang Yaoshi, who had once helped him break through the Golden Muscle Jade Meridian. He immediately stood up and frowned.

He invited many old friends to the Tian Dao promotion ceremony, but Old Man Huang was nowhere to be found.

Old Huang had previously traveled all the way to the prefectural city to personally help him connect with the 'Marquis of Beicang's Mansion' using the Jade Marrow Cold Lotus, but his own health condition was still uncertain.

Otherwise, my path after entering the manor would not have been so easy.

When I arrived in the prefectural city, I was worried about his situation and tried to find out more, but to no avail.

As the saying goes, "When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."

This late-night visit, and not even in person, most likely indicates that something has happened.

"Pharmacy, medicine shop, Huang family."

Ji Xiu chewed, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He then looked at Daoist Chijing:
"Master, I have to leave temporarily. Will this cause any problems?"

Daoist Chijing waved his hand:

"The vital energy has been gathered, and your destiny has been determined. My friend, just go and deal with the trivial matters. I will tell you the specific details of your destiny afterward. It won't affect anything."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu nodded and immediately took his leave.

Once the oil lamps inside were lit, only Daoist Chijing remained.
He looked at the illusory copper coins of the Six Lines Divination method, a hint of interest and inquiry appearing in his eyes.

Before Ji Xiu fully carries out his destiny.
Let's first open the eyes of this tester and see what kind of fate awaits this talented young man!
however!
As the white lines solidified completely, they formed characters and appeared one by one.
But the Daoist Chijing, who was watching, slowly opened his mouth wide, suddenly stood up, stared wide-eyed, and showed an expression of disbelief:

"No, wait, this... how is this possible!?"
