Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 246 Today, I broke through the four limits and a heavenly treasure, the 'Sumeru Fruit,' was obtained. My five internal organs were exhausted, and I became an immortal!
Um? what happened?

Ji Xiu was slightly taken aback. He had not received any advance guidance on the Taoist arts or mystical techniques of that era, so why was the scene of the 'Sumeru Cave' reappearing?

But soon—

When he regained consciousness, he was shocked to discover...
What I see and hear before my eyes does not seem real, but merely an illusory projection, or perhaps a kind of "acting".

Looking at the kind-faced, benevolent-looking Master Sumeru before him, holding a whisk, exactly as he remembered him, though he had the form and spirit, he was not the real person.

For a moment, Ji Xiu's throat bobbed, following his memories of cultivating the 'Immortal Dao Chapter' in the Sumeru Cave, just about to speak.

However, the words that were about to come out of his mouth changed completely:
"Grandmaster, after these three years of trials, I have finally come to understand your true meaning. Thanks to your guidance, I have now established my 'Great Dao Purple Mansion.' I beg you, Grandmaster..."

"Give me the path to heaven!"

Upon hearing these sincere words, Ji Xiu immediately realized that he was now experiencing life in an unconventional way.

Experience the journey of Jiang Jing as he passes the trials of the Sumeru Patriarch, stands out from many noble families, and receives the true teachings after successfully completing the assessment.

And then he spoke.

The Sumeru Patriarch stared intently for a long time, an expression of 'as expected' appearing on his face. He flicked his sleeve and pondered for a moment:

Why do you want to cultivate yourself?

Ji Xiu observed quietly.

Through the side, he could see the same face as when he had his 'Yellow Millet Dream'. After the Sumeru Patriarch spoke, the young man's face remained expressionless; he simply shook his head.
“Since the year I was born, I have been labeled as the ‘son of a demon.’ I do not know what my biological father did, and I have never even seen his face.”

"But from that time on, I was imprisoned in the Xuanfu Sect. I was a mortal with no freedom or liberation, and was despised and looked down upon by people all day long."

“I have seen those cultivators rise and fall in high places. Compared to them, I am just an ordinary mortal, no different from the clouds and mud.”

"Now, more than ten years have passed, and I have finally ushered in this turning point. From the Xuanfu Sect to the Sumeru Cave, I have traveled through mountains and rivers for more than two years, and I have thought about it every moment."

"If I can seize the opportunity to change my fate, I will definitely—"

"There are no people on top!"

Ji Xiu's eyes burned with an inextinguishable flame, and his words were clear and forceful.

"You want to establish a sect, claim ancestor status, and become a founder?"

The Master of Mount Sumeru neither agreed nor disagreed, but asked a question that was ambiguous.

Ji Xiu gently shook his head:
"No matter how large a sect's territory is, it can never be larger than the vast universe."

A look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Sumeru Patriarch, and he hummed in agreement:
"You want to be granted land and become a king?"

Ji Xiu shook his head again:
"With all the heavens unified and the territory vast, immortals, Buddhas, and saints each vie for the rightful succession of their religions, while the feudal lords are merely puppets. Over the decades, they have changed hands one after another, subject to checks and balances, which is not what I desire."

"Master."

"I have heard that neither the Xuanfu Sect nor our Sumeru Cave were originally sects or forces based on this land?"

Upon hearing Ji Xiu change the subject and pose another question, the Sumeru Patriarch raised a white eyebrow and nodded:

“Indeed, this territory beneath our feet was called ‘Dafan’ sixty years ago.”

"This territory is the hub connecting all the heavens. Every thousand years, it connects with the territories of many celestial realms."

"The reason they all flocked to this place is simply because..."

“Every thousand years, this core celestial body, which serves as the hub of all the heavens, receives the blessing of the heavenly destiny and gives birth to a kind of ‘karmic result’.”

"Whoever can obtain it will cross the sea of ​​suffering and attain liberation."

"This level of attainment is what Buddhas, immortals, and human immortals possess, and they are able to obtain this 'destiny and karmic reward' recognized by heaven and earth, imprinting their own Daoist cultivation upon it."

"And among the very best!"

Even those hidden masters of great supernatural powers yearn for it.

"As immortals, Buddhas, and saints came together with the Great Brahma, who was the 'central hub,' they all wanted to compete for this 'destiny and karma.' Thus, after several decades of ups and downs, this great dynasty of human immortals and martial arts had fallen apart."

"Currently, the Central Yellow Divine Court occupies the Eastern Land, the Pure Lands of Zhunti and Jieyin are divided in the Western Frontier, and your Xuanfu Sect and other great sects of immortals are located in the Jiangnan region, while the northern border is a complex and complicated place with the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River."

"There are still remnants of the Great Brahma Cult, as well as powerful human-demon sects waiting for an opportunity, and some demons and monsters."

Master Xumi spoke eloquently, recounting everything with great familiarity.

As for Ji Xiu, who was playing the role, even just listening quietly, he felt that he had gained a lot.

Brahma!

This was the last 'great dynasty' recognized by the human immortals and heavens before the establishment of the Great Xuan. At this point in time, between the Great Brahma and the Great Xuan, it was a chaotic and disorderly period.

Therefore, Ji Xiu actually had some expectations for him as the 'Lord of Impermanence of All Laws'.
What role did he actually play?
Perhaps, we can glean some insight from the dialogue between 'myself' and the Sumeru Patriarch at this moment!

really.

After Master Xumi finished speaking.

"In that case."

"Then, Master, the purpose of my cultivation is to end this chaotic and disorderly era, to let immortals and Buddhas return to their homeland, to make humans and demons disappear, to set everything right and return it to the right track, and I—"

"This is the end of it all!"

The Master of Mount Sumeru chuckled to himself:

"Do you want to compete for that 'destiny and karmic reward,' inherit the mantle of the Great Brahma, and establish a great dynasty of humans and immortals?"

"you"

However, Master Sumeru suddenly seemed to realize something, and after a moment of silence, he did not continue speaking.

After a long while, he finally sighed:
"That's all."

If you insist on going this way...

"Then our master-disciple relationship has come to an end."

"If it were anyone else who made such outrageous remarks, I would laugh at them for overestimating themselves. But you have honed your skills for years and opened up the Great Dao Purple Mansion in one day, which shows the strength of your heart. Many noble families are not as good as you."

"Considering our few days as master and disciple, I will grant you this 'path to heaven'."

Having said that, he took out a vajra from his sleeve and gave the instructions:
"Do you know what the three treasures are in my Sumeru Cave?"

Ji Xiu listened respectfully with his head bowed, only to see the Patriarch of Mount Sumeru pacing back and forth, speaking slowly:
"The first treasure is my teachings, which are inclusive and reach all corners of the world, spreading the teachings of immortals, Buddhas, and saints."

"Erbao, on the other hand, was a learned scholar who could readily discuss immortality, Pure Land, and Taoist practices, without being bound by rigid forms."

"Three Treasures."

Holding the vajra, his steps were measured yet controlled, as if the distance were infinitely close, and he had already begun walking towards the back of the 'Mount Sumeru'. Ji Xiu saw himself following closely behind, very quickly.
They followed the Ancestor Sumeru to a towering divine tree.

This spiritual tree is shrouded in mysterious patterns, its branches intertwined. At this moment, one can only see that one is above the Dharma Realm, with sweet dew dripping down from the sky from time to time, nourishing the branches and leaves; spiritual springs surge from the ground, turning into nutrients and filling the space.

Meanwhile, the Sumeru Patriarch, wielding a vajra, strolled leisurely beneath the sacred tree and gently tapped it—

Instantly, the divine tree trembled, and amidst the swaying branches and leaves, a celestial fruit appeared, seemingly nourished by heavenly dew and earthly springs for hundreds of years.
With a 'bang,' it fell out!

In the instant it fell, it seemed to gain sentience, trembling slightly as if it were about to flee. However, it was captured by the patriarch of Mount Sumeru with a steady wave of his hand.

The old Taoist priest, with a nonchalant flick of his sleeve, erased the spiritual consciousness from the creature, turned around, and spoke:
"This is the third treasure."

"This is the very foundation of my Mount Sumeru Temple, the Sumeru Fruit Tree, which can give birth to and nurture 'heavenly materials'!"

"This 'Sumeru Immortal Fruit' requires three hundred years of adorning with sweet dew, three hundred years of nourishment with spiritual springs, and then being placed in this spiritually rich grotto for three hundred years to mature, a full nine hundred years, before it can be conceived!"

"This one pill, once swallowed, will allow an ordinary person to absorb the Qi and unlock the secrets of the human body in a single day. Although each person can only take it once, its effects are enough to benefit them for a lifetime."

"Although you have already completed your Purple Mansion at this age, your physical body is still weak. Let alone establishing a new dynasty, once you leave this Sumeru Cave, without your birth mother's secret care, you will definitely not be able to take a single step on this land full of demonic miasma!"

"After consuming this fruit, one will establish the foundation for becoming a human immortal."

"When the time comes, travel thousands of miles, see the pure land of the west, the immortals of Jiangnan, and the divine court of the east, and then go to the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River to see the chaos. By then, you will have made up your mind, and it will not be too late to think about your future!"

Heavenly treasure—the Sumeru Immortal Fruit!
This was the first time Ji Xiu had ever seen a 'heavenly material' in person since he began cultivating.

Previously, he had only heard of its rarity; even martial saints found it difficult to obtain. What kind of person was Xiao Pingnan? He had gone to great lengths to find such a rare treasure for Xiao Mingli, but to no avail.

but now.
It was right there in front of me, so blatantly obvious!

Master Sumeru
It can be considered that I've opened my heart to myself.

Unfortunately, these are all shadows of the past that we have been playing and exploring.

This Sumeru Immortal Fruit must not be taken back by Ji Xiu. Instead, it should be given to Xiao Mingli so that she can wash away her past troubles, return to her peak, and repay the debt of gratitude.

Nor should we allow him to swallow and absorb it, blast open his internal organs, and take a bold step to achieve the 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo'.

But in this scene he was playing, he had no reason to refuse, so he took it and swallowed it whole with burning eyes!
And then, in the next moment!
[The ordained master consumed the 'Heavenly Treasure - Sumeru Immortal Fruit,' and his physical body absorbed its spiritual essence, undergoing a transformation, accelerating his progress towards becoming a Human Immortal!]

[The ordained master blasts open the fifth organ—the kidney organ!]

[The ordained master has preemptively achieved the completion of the 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo'!]

[Ordination Ceremony Master]

Breaking through the 'Fourth Great Limit'!

boom!
For a moment, Ji Xiu felt astonished, as if he had been 'ascended to heaven'.

He suddenly looked down at his physical body, which was now radiating a shimmering, precious light. He didn't know when, but this scene had also taken on an illusory, blurry tactile quality, affecting his spirit and five senses.

When he opened his eyes again after a few breaths, Ji Xiu suddenly realized that, without knowing when, this physical body had become his own!
As he held his breath and closed his eyes, the three lifelines he had once condensed—'Golden Skin and Jade Meridians', 'Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow', and 'Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe'—began to fade away.
As one's physical body's five internal organs open up, like five ever-burning furnaces, continuously supplying and nourishing vital energy—

The two combine and flow through the Qi Sea in the body, merging from top to bottom, thus completing the cycle!

This is to break through the four limits, condense the precious body, and in an instant, obtain the immortal embryo. The internal and external qi gates interact and the qi is collected and circulated in the whole body!

Every move he makes, capturing true energy, can unleash the power to create waves of energy with his fists and feet, and subdue the raging waves of the ocean with a mere wave of his hand!
The Human Immortal Primordial Embryo, Fourth Great Limit, Completed!
Ji Xiu clenched his fist lightly, feeling a surge of boiling blood, as if he could fight against the heavens and suppress ghosts and gods.

"The role-playing and observation within this scene actually had an effect on me personally, without any diminishing effect."

"The effects of this Primordial Dao Talisman of mine are truly heaven-defying."

After Ji Xiu exhaled a breath to calm himself, he stood up and looked around, wanting to find out what was going on.

But he discovered that he was still in the 'Mount Sumeru Academy', and right in front of that 'Mount Sumeru Divine Tree'.

However, at this time, the mountain courtyard was covered in dust, lifeless and deserted, as if it had long been abandoned.

Ji Xiu looked down and saw an old vajra with a simple and ancient appearance and gold patterns at the foot of the sacred tree. It was sitting quietly, unnoticed by anyone.

But when he noticed it, it emitted a faint golden light, slightly dazzling.

"Is this the Vajra pestle that the Patriarch Sumeru struck with 'heavenly material'?"

Ji Xiu was startled. He reached out and picked it up, and immediately felt as if a mountain had been uprooted. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Only when you grasp it with both hands can you barely lift it up.

With his physical body at the fourth stage of his life.
They almost couldn't lift the vajra!

What level of 'treasure' is this thing?
They can knock down rare and precious materials.
In its prime, could it have been a legendary weapon of immense power, even a titled one?

Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Then, he inadvertently looked up and saw that among the huge, towering ancient tree, a 'celestial fruit' was hidden deep within its branches and leaves.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed:
"and many more."

"It takes three hundred years of sweet dew to adorn it, three hundred years of spiritual spring to nourish it, and another three hundred years of nurturing to make it complete."

"The transition between the Great Brahma and the Great Mystery occurred exactly nine hundred years ago."

“More than nine hundred years ago, the Sumeru Patriarch used this vajra to knock down a ‘Sumeru Immortal Fruit’ and gave it to me to consume.”

"Now, more than nine hundred years have passed, and it is still unknown why this divine tree is in the 'Primordial Palace of Impermanence'."

"But if you calculate the time, it's exactly the cycle of gestation, flowering, and fruiting—a complete cycle!"

Touching the vajra in his hand, Ji Xiu's eyes lit up, eager to try it out.

He had already taken the 'Sumeru Immortal Fruit' once, and taking it again would have a much less effective result.

but.
But it can be given to Xiao Mingli!

Not to mention that Marquis Beicang is only one step away from becoming a powerful figure, after Chen Xuanque leaves, he will be designated as a 'Marquis of Beicang'. Befriending him will be crucial for building connections for the future Beicang vassal state.

Even with Xiao Mingli's care for him, and despite the immense value of the Sumeru Immortal Fruit, Ji Xiu has always been clear about gratitude and grudges!
Having thought this through, he immediately tried to leap up, intending to lift the vajra and put it into his pocket, but—

boom!
At this moment, the long-sealed gate of Mount Sumeru was suddenly pushed open amidst a flurry of dust!

Then, one by one, the disciples of the three lineages, with haggard faces, disheveled bodies covered in blood, and covered in dust, stepped into the gate.

Half of them have already disappeared!

When they saw Ji Xiu standing calmly and impeccably dressed in the center of the entrance, they were even more stunned:

"How can it be!"

"How come he seems completely unaffected by the 'demonic tide' surrounding the Impermanent Realm of All Laws?"

These visitors were full of doubts.

But when they looked up, they saw the 'divine fruit' that had formed on the branch of the Sumeru Divine Tree.
In an instant, his breathing became heavy!
A rare find!
