Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 250 The True Man Falls into the Five Turbidities, the Ancient Demon in the Coffin Revives, At the Critical Moment, the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir is Refined for Me!
"The Divine Power Master severed his own cultivation?"

The young warriors from the Qin, Dugu, and Yuwen clans, who served as military governors in Cangzhou, all had their pupils widen in shock.

People like Qin Jinkui, Dugu Qi, and Yuwen Xin, sons of powerful families, were entrusted with important responsibilities by their families and sent to Jiangyin to enter the Yuanfu of the Impermanence of All Laws. They were all outstanding figures of their time and were highly regarded.

Although he cannot be considered a pillar of the family who has achieved great success, he has broken through the four limitations and entered the ranks of the master of the school without any flaws.

Those who could surpass them in their time were those who, before the age of thirty, ascended to the position of Young Dragon Stele and became the sons of the great patriarchs and kings of the Jade Capital.

They had assumed that even if the true lineage of the Xuanfu Sect came from an outer heavenly lineage, it was ancient and mysterious.

However, this 'Yuanfu Ancient Site' itself has limitations.

This group is incredibly powerful; having a Daoist who has cultivated to the point of mastery, comparable to a dragon or tiger, is already the limit.

Such cultivation is terrifying, but it may not be able to dominate the entire scene. Even if we can't get any loot, at worst they can eat meat while we can have a couple of sips of soup. It's better than coming for nothing.

But no matter how much I planned, I never expected this.
This is hardly the cultivation practice of condensing a 'Great Elixir of Magic Power'!
A 'Divine Power True Man' is, in the system of human immortal martial arts, a genuine titled Martial Saint!

Moreover, he is not a pseudo-martial saint or a pseudo-title holder who inherits the 'path of predecessors'.

For a true disciple of such a prestigious sect as him, it is unknown how much time and effort he would need to spend refining his supernatural powers, imprinting the Purple Mansion Great Elixir, and bearing the destiny before he could achieve this!
In a sense, it is more difficult and arduous than becoming a titled Martial Saint, and only slightly less so than those legendary martial artists who are determined to break through all limits.

To cultivate oneself into a True Person, one must sever one's cultivation and render one's innate supernatural powers meaningless, thus wasting decades of hard work, all for the sake of entering this 'Primordial Palace of Impermanence'.
It takes immense courage and a profound sense of importance to be willing to do this and come here!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Bai Chi and Bai Yuan from the Water Lord's Palace exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although they were born of dragon blood, they were not of the most orthodox bloodline; their fathers and mothers were not all true dragons or phoenixes.

Even if one's physique surpasses that of these immortal martial artists and is comparable to the sixth realm, one still cannot overcome the limitations of this 'True Person' who wields both Dao artifacts in his left and right hands.

Instead of staying put, they insisted on vying for the 'Nine Aperture Golden Elixir' embedded in the groove of the black coffin.
It's likely that its only fate will be to have its dragon tendons and bones stripped away for use in weapon forging.

But does that mean we have to make a wasted trip?
Just as Erlongzi was internally grumbling and struggling with his thoughts.

"The various clans of Cangzhou have no intention of competing with 'Master Xuanzhen'."

Qin Jinkui's expression shifted several times, though he was unwilling.

But seeing that Xuan Qingli had not taken the Nine Aperture Golden Pill, but instead held the precious banner and jade wheel and looked at them and the creatures of the Water Lord's Mansion, he seemed to be in a position of 'pacifying the internal before resisting the external'.

With a sigh, they gave up and took the lead as a gesture of support.

The two dragon sons of the Water Lord's Palace originally still held onto a glimmer of hope, but seeing how quickly the Great Xuanwu Fu bent over, they looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to lower their heads.

Xuan Qingli looked around, listened to the response, his eyes were like candles, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, only the clear glow of the Dao artifacts on his sleeves flowed faintly.

But after a short while, they did not take action to eliminate either side.

Although the Xuanfu Sect is an ancient and mysterious lineage of the Crimson Heaven, with a profound foundation, this place is the 'Great Xuan Territory'. Before all the heavens are unified and the gates of the realms are opened without restrictions, it is still their territory.

If he were to break off all pretense and eliminate everyone present to prevent future troubles, even with the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir, Yuanling Zaiyuan Zhenjun alone might not be able to protect them once they were out.

After all, besides the feudal lords and warriors of the Great Xuan, there was also the "White Dragon Lord of the East Sea" who had fallen from the "Zhengfa Heaven" into this place, was once granted the "Celestial Master's Ordination", and almost received the third-rank divine power ordination!

That's a genuine antique that can rival even the most powerful.

If I were to destroy his dragon seed here, even if the boundary gate were only a stone's throw away, I would never be able to return if he wanted to.

Even his master, Xuanxiao Zhenzun, is still injured at the moment, and he may not be able to get ahead.

Furthermore, the Xuanfu Sect is not limited to his lineage; other lineages do not entirely approve of their master's pursuit of the 'Nine Aperture Golden Elixir'.

Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen complications, these people were spared a way out.

Thinking of this, Xuan Qingli immediately responded to everyone's show of weakness, then stopped worrying about it, only asking the true disciples of the Xuanfu Sect to warn him, and then turned and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Until they arrived at that floating ancient coffin.

Looking at the 'dim golden core' embedded in the groove of the ancient coffin before him, Xuan Qingli's eyes burned with fervor:
"This is one of the three treasures of my Xuanfu Sect, known as the 'Nine Aperture Golden Elixir.' Refining it can forge an unparalleled treasure for the Golden Elixir Dao?"

High-level Taoist skills are divided into three realms: Purple Mansion, Out-of-Body, and Dharma Elixir.

Let's leave the first two levels aside for now.

The different grades of these magical pills are almost like the different levels of Qi Sea that a martial artist can open from the Strength Gate to the Qi Refining Master, directly determining their future upper limit and combat power!
If the Purple Palace is of low quality and the primordial spirit is dim, then the resulting 'Great Elixir of Magical Power' will definitely have many cracks.

If one cultivates the orthodox 'Dan Dao Miao Fa' (the wondrous method of alchemy), and one's dantian (purple palace) becomes smooth and round, and one's primordial spirit is nourished, then the great elixir of magical power that is formed will be like jade and rosy clouds, contained in the dantian, which is the central hub of the Great Dao.

The alchemy that Xuan Qingli achieved is just like this.

However, this is recorded in all the ancient books written by the great lineages throughout history.

Before one can comprehend supernatural powers, the truly top-tier grade of this magical elixir is one level higher, namely the 'Golden Elixir Path,' also known as the 'Superior Golden Elixir,' which is the foundation for becoming an immortal!

Unfortunately, the path to the Golden Elixir is extremely difficult to find. It is said that only the "Golden Elixir Medicine" nurtured by nature can be used to forge it, making it even harder to find than rare natural materials.

Even if one is born into a Taoist lineage, without great opportunities and good fortune, one cannot obtain such a thing.

Not to mention that even after obtaining the great medicine, one still needs to cultivate the wondrous method of the Golden Elixir!

Even within the Xuanfu Sect, only those who hold the titles of Daoist Child or Goddess are qualified to observe and practice.

And it is rumored that...
The Xuanfu Sect's "Golden Elixir Technique" was stolen nearly a thousand years ago. What remains now is only a copy, which has lost its essence and its effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, although the Xuanfu Sect has had many talented people over the past thousand years, it has never produced any leading Taoist masters.

But this 'Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir'
Xuan Qingli clenched her fists, her eyes filled with even greater longing.

At this moment, he remembered his master's instructions, who promised him many benefits from the sect upon his return. But looking at this treasure that could forge the foundation of a 'superior golden elixir'...
However, he could not take it lightly.

If I use this 'Nine Aperture Golden Elixir' as a foundation to forge the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir, I will ascend to the level of a True Person with Supernatural Powers.

Even if the master is furious.

But this is a rare and precious treasure. Will other True Venerables, considering my progress in refining the Golden Core and my promising future, treat me differently and support me to advance further and compete for the right to inherit the great sect?
Furthermore,

I, Xuan Qingli, have cultivated for decades. For this precious Golden Core, I did not hesitate to cross the boundary gate and travel to a foreign realm, severing my supernatural powers and paying a huge price. Now, this great opportunity is right before my eyes.
Are we just going to take it down and bring it back to the sect in exchange for a mere reward?
Xuan Qingli's Dao heart stirred, and when he was almost within reach, he inadvertently touched the Xuan Coffin.

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts surged through his mind like wild grass. The more he looked at the dim golden core in front of him, the heavier his breathing became. In the end, even his eyes turned a little red.

at this time.

Ji Xiu touched the many Dao diagrams on the wall and finally walked quickly to the coffin at the end.

When he saw Xuan Qingli no longer concealing himself, wielding the Dao artifact and dominating the entire scene, even from a distance, he could feel the oppressive aura emanating from his Purple Mansion. Although the Primordial Dao Talisman had provided feedback, revealing all the benefits of the 'Nine Aperture Golden Pill' to Ji Xiu, giving him a clear understanding that as long as he refined it in advance, he would have the opportunity to use the Yellow Millet Dream as an anchor point to gradually uncover the life story of 'Jiang Jing'.
However, Xuan Qingli of the Xuanfu Sect stood before them like a formidable mountain blocking their path.

Without him, in the fierce competition among the other three factions, Ji Xiu, with his current cultivation of having mastered all five internal organs and condensed his primordial embryo, would definitely be qualified to put up a fight.

However, in front of a prodigy who spanned two or three major realms and was born into a great lineage.
His martial arts skills are still far from adequate.

That artifact alone was enough to block his way, preventing him from getting any closer.

Ji Xiu frowned, watching Xuan Qingli, who was gently touching the ancient coffin and was only a hair's breadth away from achieving the Golden Core, his mind racing:

"Is there really no other way?"

He gripped the vajra tightly, deep in thought, but when he inadvertently noticed Xuan Qingli's unusual behavior, he was startled:
"and many more."

"This young master of the Xuanfu Sect seems a bit off."

"Yes, and then again, why is this Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir embedded in a mysterious 'ancient coffin'?"

What was buried in that coffin?

"But I always feel..."

"This coffin certainly doesn't contain the body of the 'Lord of Impermanence of All Laws' who disintegrated from his physical form!"

Ji Xiu couldn't help but think about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Now he only regrets that his cultivation is not deep enough to see all the life stories of those eighteen Daoist diagrams.

Otherwise, the secret behind it would probably already be clear to everyone.

But even if you don't know the secrets behind it.

As Ji Xiu, filled with resentment, slightly opened his double pupils and used the 'Mysterious Sky Eye' to look at the ancient coffin and Xuan Qingli, wanting to investigate and see if he could find any clues.
But then I saw—

Before anyone knew it, the once highly accomplished and pure Xuanqing Li Zhenren was now surrounded by the five turbidities and entangled in desires!
This is similar to the second Dao diagram I just glimpsed—[The Great Brahma's Destruction, Humanity and Demons' Calamity]—which foreshadows those who fall into the tide of demonic defilement and transform into 'human demons'.
There is no difference between them!
Upon seeing this, Ji Xiu's pupils widened, and upon closer inspection with his double pupils, he suddenly discovered something.

All these 'turbid demonic thoughts' seeped out from the cracks in that black coffin, like a giant hand, and eroded into Xuan Qingli's body!
At this moment, Ji Xiu was convinced that the body buried in the coffin was not the disintegrated body of the Dao Lord of Impermanence.
This further convinced me that what was buried here was definitely not a good thing!

This is an ominous sign!

It could be one of the 'sources of human demons' that were completely quelled and destroyed!

Perhaps that 'Nine-Aperture Golden Pill' is the means to seal the contents of the coffin; prying it open would be equivalent to releasing the ominous things inside.

But how can he explain it, how can he inform him?
Ji Xiu frowned, suddenly realizing that the situation was quite troublesome, but he couldn't just sit and wait to die no matter what.

"Don't try to take that golden pill recklessly! Wake up!"

He raised the vajra in his hand, even though its power was greatly reduced, he wanted to rely on this treasure, which had a profound foundation in the 'Mount Sumeru Academy', to stop Xuan Qingli's actions that were almost 'falling into demonic possession'.

Seeing Ji Xiu rise to his feet, his blood boiling, the members of the Xuanfu Sect were immediately enraged:
"You brat, it's not enough that we've given you rare and precious materials; you still dare to covet the Golden Core?"

One of the disciples who had almost fought with Ji Xiu at Mount Sumeru before, after shouting a rebuke, stood up and cast a spell, intending to kill Ji Xiu in mid-air.

Others were not to be outdone.

Bai Shuo's pupils immediately turned blue as he leaned against Ji Xiu, just before a major conflict was about to erupt.
Xuan Qingli had already placed her palm on the 'Nine Aperture Golden Pill', and then...
Pick it off fiercely!
Instantly, the nine-aperture golden core that had broken free from the 'mysterious coffin' burst forth with golden light, surrounded by countless mysterious patterns, and its spiritual energy surged, as if absorbing and refining it would allow one to ascend to immortality immediately!
Upon seeing this, Xuan Qingli immediately threw his head back and laughed, his eyes revealing an almost frantic desire and obsession:

"That's it, that's it!"

"If I were to consume it, and upon returning to the sect, who else but me would be the one to lead the Dao in this era?!"

"I will ensure that within a thousand years, the 'Mysterious Talisman Sect' will produce another immortal, named 'Immortal Qingli,' who will be enshrined in the ancestral tablets and offered incense!"

After saying that, he opened his mouth, intending to swallow the 'Nine Aperture Golden Pill' in one gulp!

However----

boom!
At this moment, the black coffin began to vibrate and hum, then the black stone collapsed, the chains broke, and the visible five turbid demonic energy suddenly surged!

That is a hundred times more terrifying than the 'Abyss Qi', it is the purest form of the five turbid evil thoughts!

The huge change shocked everyone present.

"That is.?"

Before anyone could react.

A massive hand slammed out from inside the coffin, and with just one hand, it gripped Xuan Qingli's throat, much to the extreme excitement of the Xuanfu True Person.
His throat immediately tightened, and all his supernatural powers were rendered unable to move an inch!

"Ho."

"How could the Qi cultivators of countless years later have such weak resolve? They are easily swayed by a few misguided influences and are about to fall into the demonic tide. Tsk tsk."

"Someone like you, even if you enter the 'demon body,' will only achieve limited things. You dare to call yourself a 'true person'? Pshaw."

"Compared to your Xuanfu Sect's ancestor, they are far, far inferior."

A tall, imposing figure rose from the coffin, wearing an ancient mask that concealed his face.

The man then looked around, and when he saw the nine-aperture golden pill that had suddenly emitted a golden light, he sighed deeply again, his eyes revealing extreme fear and hatred:
"But then again."

"Facing the pill left behind by that person"

"It's normal to have some greedy thoughts."

"But I hate this thing so much. It's this thing that has trapped me for so many years. If I hadn't come out into the world, I would have been completely corrupted by it sooner or later, and I would never have been able to return."

"I must erase it completely!"

Having said that, he hurled Xuan Qingli violently to a corner of the corridor, then raised his large hand, ready to crush the radiant Nine-Aperture Golden Core.
Squeeze it until it bursts!

However----

Before its big hand could strike
The golden core pattern emitted a mysterious light and suddenly began to buzz. Without warning, Ji Xiu, who was holding the 'Vajra Pestle' upside down, suddenly flew away!

In the blink of an eye, it merging directly into Ji Xiu's brow!
After a while.

The dazzling golden cinnabar pattern appeared on Ji Xiu's eyebrows, eyes, and forehead!

[The ordaining master contained the treasure of the Golden Elixir Path—the 'Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir'!]

[It can be refined using the 'Yellow Millet Dream', fed back to the Purple Mansion, becoming a Primordial Spirit, and an Entering Dao Pill!]
