Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 243 Warriors from all over the world gather in Jiangyin! In the Trapped Sky Mountain, the King's Blade emerges from the east!

On the banks of Jiangyin Prefecture, a huge uproar came to an abrupt end.

But the bigger waves
But it was merely the beginning of the 'curtain'.

Ji Xiu, riding on the flying boat piloted by Daoist Chi Jing, arrived at the Jiangyin Prefecture dock. As soon as he stepped off, he was noticed by Chen Xuanque, Xu Longxiang, and the others.

Among them, Wang Xuanyang frowned:

"Hey kid, with such a big commotion here, why aren't you staying on Jin'ao Island? What are you doing here?"

"This is no joke."

"The cultivation level of that immortal Taoist who just opened the gate..."

At this point, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in Wang Xuanyang's eyes.

At this moment, Chen Xuanque spoke:

"That is one of the ancient lineages of the Crimson Heaven, the Mysterious Talisman Sect."

"The Path of Immortals is a cultivation system with a long history among all the paths in the universe. It venerates the 'Three Heavenly Venerables' as the orthodox lineage. It is said that those who can inherit the mantle of the Heavenly Venerables can be called the lineage or the true lineage."

"And within these traditions, these true traditions..."

“Our ancestors included true immortals, comparable to human immortals.”

Chen Xuanque frowned and looked again at the Yuan Mansion on the sea:
"In the past, there have been traces of the 'Lord of Impermanence of All Things' appearing, but he left behind many marks, and we originally thought it was just a separate residence, but now we see..."

"It is probably closely related to his true self, otherwise the Xuanfu Sect, as one of the true lineages, would not have made such a big fuss about this, and even summoned the current True Venerable himself."

"Just now, this True Venerable of the Xuanfu Sect, who is comparable to the 'Peak of the Human Realm,' failed to launch a strong attack and was left with a Dao injury."

"Furthermore, with the Dao artifact damaged and the means to deceive the heavens lost, and being targeted by the barrier of the Great Xuan Heaven, fearing the calamity that might lead to their demise here, they reluctantly agreed to this agreement."

"But just look at the Xuanfu Sect's determination to infiltrate it, even if it means risking a True Venerable."

"There must be some great secret within this 'Yuan Mansion' that they cannot part with."

"A lineage even older than the Heavenly Pillar and the Giant Chamber, no one knows what kind of monster the Mysterious Talisman Church has sent out."

"Throughout the entire Beicang Prefecture, even the descendants of those powerful families would pale in comparison."

"As for those heretics within the orthodox tradition, they might also have designs on getting involved."

"Not to mention those of even higher social standing and gentry who, upon hearing the news, would travel thousands of miles to come."

Chen Xuanque gazed at the Eastern Sea and couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling deeply troubled.

The extraordinary opportunity that arose in the Beicang military town turned out to be something that even warriors from Beicang could barely get involved in, and in most cases, they would end up as 'someone else's wedding dress'.

This naturally displeased the ruler of Beicang.

Xiao Pingnan's expression was unpredictable, his face contorted with struggle and filled with deep resentment, his fists clenched tightly.

After Chen Xuanque saw it, he could only sigh and offer a few words of comfort:
"Lord Beicang, don't take it too seriously."

“Such rare talents are hard to find. Even if we cannot enter this ‘Yuan Mansion,’ there will always be other opportunities to find a way to govern my niece.”

"If all else fails, when I retire and go to Baiyujing, I will swallow my pride and beg my old teacher to see if I can get you one."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang showed a struggle on his face, and after a long while, his expression became somewhat dejected:
"Thank you, my lords, but this is all we can do."

Even the True Venerable of the Xuanfu Sect, who forcibly crossed the gate and tried to break in against the heavens, returned empty-handed. How much less could he, who was just one step away from becoming a giant?
However.
Ji Xiu, who had been listening quietly to the side, interjected at the opportune moment:
"My lord, there may still be a chance."

"Ji Xiu."

"I don't want to miss this opportunity, and I want to step into it and make a request."

"If I are fortunate enough to encounter a rare treasure, I will definitely bring it back to help Miss Xiao wash away her past and return to her former glory!"

Ji Xiu's words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Xiao Pingnan was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that this previously outstanding junior would get involved at this crucial juncture.

And the implied meaning behind the words.
They clearly wanted to step into this 'Yuan Mansion'!
Before he could speak, Chen Xuanque, whose illusory form appeared from the map of the town's defenses, shook his head and spoke:

"You're a bit too ambitious, kid."

"I was trying to encourage you before, but the situation before is not the same as the situation now."

"Previously, I thought that what appeared in the Eastern Sea was just a suspected tomb of the 'Impermanent Lord of All Laws'. After all, we have seen many similar cases over the past few hundred years, and it is not likely to cause any waves."

"But this time is different."

"This time, it is highly likely that the body of that 'Dao Lord' will be buried in disintegration!"

Do you know what this means?

"This means that all the powerful clans and families that are close to Beicang, as well as the Heavenly Pillars and Giant Houses, will flock here, wanting a share of the pie!"

"Of the eighteen vassal states of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Beicang is located in the northern region, known as the 'White Mountains and Black Waters,' and is the easternmost of them all."

"And the closest one is Xiqi, which is guarded by one of the ten pillars, the 'Divine Weapon Altar', and one of the nine chambers, the 'Qishan Jiang Clan'."

"Not to mention those far away, if these two factions hear the news, they will definitely send people over."

"And the powerful clans and families of Xiqi will not let such an opportunity pass them by."

"In addition, the state's 'six clans and five orthodox families' truly represent the elite cultivated by their respective clans."

"Let alone those who have mastered Qi cultivation."

“Even ordinary ‘leak-free’ school masters can’t compete with these people!”

"You recently broke through the barrier of a Qi Refining master, and with your many tricks up your sleeve, winning the top prize in a regular prefectural exam would be a sure thing."

"Even if some students from the state are added, there won't be any major surprises."

"But this time, those who came were the true elites of half of the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region, people who could be considered on the same level in the entire 'Great Xuan,' not to mention the Xuanfu Sect and the Dragon Lord's Mansion overseas."

"With such a mixed bag of people, it's common for someone to fall by the wayside!"

"That person once asked me to give you a hand. In such a muddy place, unless you open the Four Treasures, you're only one step away from the 'Martial Arts Body'."

"Otherwise, I certainly wouldn't have allowed you to enter, especially since you wouldn't have qualified for this 'spot' anyway."

When was the last time Chen Xuanque saw Ji Xiu?
At the Heavenly Blade True Sect's advancement ceremony, Ji Xiu was only at the Breakthrough Realm!
No matter how powerful or extraordinary someone is, it's all for naught if they go to the Yuanfu Ancient Site; they won't even make a splash!

Out of consideration for 'Jiang Li', Chen Xuanque thought that Ji Xiu was young and inexperienced, so she offered him a few more words of advice.

However.
When he focused his gaze on Ji Xiu, he took a closer look and discovered that beneath Ji Xiu's strong muscles and skin, there was something else.
Between the four internal organs—heart, liver, spleen, and lungs—a divine treasure has been condensed, like four enormous, ever-burning furnaces, continuously supplying blood and vital energy to support this physical body!

Upon closer inspection, his four internal organs were full and without the slightest sign of strain. Moreover, his inner strength was profound and mysterious. It was immediately apparent that he had cultivated a superior martial arts treasure body, one that could be listed on the Great Xuan's 'Martial Arts Treasure Body' list!

Once the final step is broken and the Five Treasures are perfected, one can break through the 'Fourth Great Limit'. After mastering the secret techniques and transforming the physical body, becoming the master of the 'Flawless' school will be just around the corner!
How could it be so ferocious!?
Chen Xuanque's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he mentally counted on his fingers the days since he last saw Ji Xiu. After finishing the calculation, he let out a silent hiss.

In just over a month, four treasures have been opened!?
For a moment, his eyes held a mixture of emotions.

He was on Jiang Li's side, and wanted Jiang Li to retake control of 'Baiyujing'—the Emperor's faction.

As for Ji Xiu, who received so much care from Jiang Li, he was naturally regarded as a member of this faction and was thus labeled as such.

He had initially thought that the person who mentored this child was merely a side hustle, unlikely to be of much use for at least thirty to fifty years, but now...
Chen Xuanque couldn't help but ponder deeply.

If he were to step in and forcibly lock up a 'spot' for Ji Xiu to enter the Yuan Mansion, and if he were to find some opportunity...
Perhaps in the near future, he could truly become a right-hand man of the 'royalists'?

His mind raced with thoughts.

"Indeed, it's good that you have the intention, but some things are beyond human control, so perhaps..."

Xiao Pingnan forced a smile, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuanque abruptly interrupted him: "However..."

"If you really want to ask."

"No matter how unpredictable and ever-changing the situation may become afterward."

"I, in my capacity as a 'Lord of the Northern Cang,' will personally reserve a spot for you!"

Chen Xuanque's rapidly changing words caused the other titled elders of Ji Xiu to change their expressions slightly.

But Ji Xiu had already smiled:
"Ji Xiu, thank you, Lord Chen!"

He is currently only one step away from fully cultivating his martial arts and spiritual power, so he naturally needs to consider his future cultivation.

As Ji Xiu stepped into this 'Yuan Mansion', he had a premonition.

This will be the starting point for him to enter the world from the palace, and his cultivation will soar to new heights!
As for those truly outstanding talents who have made it to the forefront, they exist outside the established order.
We have to try it out to find out who the real hero is!

at this time!

The boundary gate of the Eastern Canghai Sea, beyond the gate!

Xuan Fu Sect.

Having suffered Dao injuries, Xuanxiao Zhenzun, carrying the cracked 'Azure Jade Ruyi', stepped straight in. Upon returning, he could no longer suppress the Dao injuries within his body, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

This commotion greatly alarmed the Xuanfu disciples who were waiting there:

"Your Excellency, is that...?"

However, before he could finish speaking, the True Venerable Ancestor suddenly shook his head, made a hand gesture to seal his supernatural acupoints, and began circulating his magical elixir to maintain his Dharma body—

He immediately issued an edict, sending his decree to the various places where the true teachings were practiced:
"Anyone under the age of thirty who has cultivated Daoist arts to the sixth realm of 'Great Elixir of Magic Power' only needs to enter the Great Mystery, step into the burial place of the Xuanfu Sect traitor 'Jiang Jing,' and bring back the traitor's dismembered Daoist body."

"I, the Venerable One, shall personally take him under my wing and transmit the Heavenly Venerable's teachings to him!"

boom!
This decree immediately caused a huge uproar.

After all, even if one is a true disciple of the Xuanfu Sect, one is only a contemporary 'true disciple'. Although the positions are rare and directly lead to becoming a True Person, it is still difficult to cultivate true great supernatural powers.
You need to have connections in higher positions.

The decree of a True Venerable below the ranks of immortals—such temptation is enough to make one's heart flutter.

And after the edict was issued.

Xuanxiao Zhenzun remained silent and returned to his Dharma Palace, where he summoned his personal disciples.

A Xuanfu Sect True Person who recently rose to the rank of 'Supernatural True Person'!
He is one of the top ten leaders of Xuanfu in the present era. Although he has no hope of succeeding as the next leader of Xuanfu, he is still a strong contender for various lineages and Dao palaces.

Xuan Qingli is currently studying his innate supernatural power, "Summoning Gods and Soldiers," which will allow him to advance to the level of a True Immortal.

Upon receiving the decree from the True Venerable Xuanfu, he immediately emerged from seclusion, clad in a magnificent black robe, and proceeded to the True Venerable's sacred ground to respectfully pay homage to the True Venerable Xuanxiao.

"Master, did you summon me?"

At this moment, Xuanxiao Zhenzun had already reverted to his Daoist form. Seeing that his personal disciple had arrived, he immediately began to calculate with his fingers as his eyes opened and closed:

“Qingli, you are now thirty-five years old. You have achieved the rank of True Person by using the ‘unorthodox supernatural power’ of summoning gods and soldiers. Your achievement is quite good.”

"but"

"To reach the level of a True Venerable is extremely difficult."

"However, I will give you a 'chance' today."

At this point, Xuanxiao Zhenzun's eyes suddenly opened, gleaming with a sharp light:
"I, the Venerable One, will use my great power to erase your cultivation, reverse Yin and Yang, and return you to five years ago!"

"Although your cultivation level will drop to the 'Great Core of Magic Power', your foundation and everything else will remain."

"I have no other requirements as your teacher."

"As long as you go to Da Xuan, bring back the 'Nine Aperture Golden Elixir' from Jiang Jing's burial site."

"I hereby grant you a chance to cultivate 'authentic great supernatural powers'!"

"And with this in mind."

"To pave a glorious path for you!"

Xuan Qingli, who was bowing and prostrating himself, felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this.

But after the Daoist voice of the True Venerable Xuanxiao had completely faded away...
But all that remained was a fiery heat.

Authentic Great Supernatural Power!
Even the ten chief disciples could not borrow it. Within the entire Xuanfu Sect, only the next sect leader or a true venerable being could view it!

If there is an opportunity.
Who wouldn't want to give it a shot?
Xiqi, trapped in the empty mountain!

The Left Dragon and Snake of the Divine Weapon Altar, along with two other mountain lords, arrived together. They used all their might and exhausted all their efforts to finally barely suppress the 'Royal Power Blade' in the weapon pool.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could at least keep his position as the master of Trap Mountain, but was quite regretful that he couldn't monopolize the King's Power Blade,
A glass chariot from the 'Qishan Jiang Clan' arrived at Xiankong Mountain with a dragon-bird as its lead!

For a while.

Ling Zuolongshe and the other two mountain lords felt a twitch between their brows:
"This is.?"

The three renowned figures of the Divine Weapon Altar had barely formed an image in their minds when, in the next moment, a woman dressed in a crimson phoenix robe, extremely beautiful, with murderous phoenix eyes, appeared.
Suddenly, he stepped forward!

She had only just arrived.

Then they saw a long sword imprisoned by heavy chains in the pool of water. It rang out with a clear, resonant sound, as if it possessed a spirit and was giving them some guidance.
His pair of dark, phoenix eyes immediately lit up, and he whispered:
"It truly is the King's Blade."

"And what makes it resonate so deeply?"

"Is it him?"

Whispering to herself, the next moment, Jiang Shu spread her slender five fingers, and the world suddenly darkened. Ignoring all distances, it instantly transformed into a giant hand in the air, making the three giants of the Divine Weapon Altar seem like nothing!

Then he pressed down with his palm!
boom!
The three of them, Zuo Long and She, who had just finished setting up the restriction, all spat out a mouthful of blood and were sent flying backward!

"Lord of Qishan, you've gone mad!"

At that very moment, they recognized who it was.

The relationship between the Qishan Jiang clan and the Shenbingtan, as giants that had occupied the Xiqi vassal state for hundreds of years, has always been relatively good.

But today.
This madwoman actually went straight for 'Trap Mountain,' the most important spot in the Divine Weapon Altar for forging all the world's artifacts!?

What does she want to do?

Just as Zuo Longshe and the other two were trembling slightly, they watched helplessly as Jiang Shu broke the seal on the Wang Quan Dao, making it instantly resemble a heavenly blade, cleaving through the sky and heading east!

That place
It is the border between Xiqi and Beicang.

It is also a 'broken mountain'.

It was cleaved in two by Zhou Chongyang, the greatest swordsman of the previous era, as if it were an insurmountable chasm.

Go further east
That is the Dragon Cave in Beicang, Anning County, Jiangyin Prefecture!
Seeing the Wang Quan sword almost disappear into the sky
Jiang Shu smiled, then glanced down with her phoenix eyes, her wide sleeves and skirt fluttering in the wind.
"This sword is named 'Royal Power' and it does not belong to the Divine Weapon Altar."

"If your altar master has any objections..."

"Just call him to come to Qishan to find me."

"All the consequences."

"I."

"I'll shoulder this responsibility!"
