Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Guangfa Ganglei, Heavenly Venerable!?

This sound, originating from the Earth Dragon Cave, traveled extremely far, almost shaking an entire prefecture and state; it was a powerful and influential transmission.
Ji Xiu, who had just left Jiangyin Prefecture and landed on Jin'ao Island from the Dragon Fang warship, was preparing to rush to the aid of the Heavenly Blade True Sect with Xu Longxiang, Qi Nanke and others, when he was suddenly stunned.

He was familiar with this title, or rather, he had heard it before when he stepped into that Central Yellow Heaven.

Just in the past
What they heard was a sacred title, not "Heavenly Venerable"!

"Isn't this the holy being that the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord spoke of when we first entered the Central Yellow Heaven?"

"Now he's actually transformed into a 'Celestial Venerable'?"

The difference between "sacred" and "heavenly deity" may be only one word or phrase, but they are worlds apart.

The former is comparable to a giant, while the latter is comparable to the pinnacle of human strength, representing the most elite small group of combat power in the world!

Ji Xiu's eyes were solemn as he looked up at the sky and murmured softly.

Xu Longxiang, standing beside him, also frowned slightly.

"According to historical records, Zhonghuangtian was always a one-person-one-position system. What outstanding achievements did this person make to be promoted in such a short time?"

Ji Xiu found this extremely troublesome. He didn't know the details, but he was clear on one point: if this person was truly a Celestial Venerable...
The situation has escalated to the point where it is necessary for those truly at the pinnacle to intervene in order to resolve it.

I just don't know what conditions he'll propose.

As Ji Xiu thought this, he couldn't help but sigh.

That's how it's said, but now the Xuan Ding hangs empty, the ruler is nowhere to be found, and the various vassal states govern themselves in different regions, which is already the scene of the end of the dynasty.

And how powerful are the heavens?
The paths of immortals, Buddhas, and gods stand tall, ancient and rich in profound history!
The fact that Guangfa Ganglei Tianzun stepped into the Great Xuan realm was undoubtedly a signal.

This signifies that the [Divine Path] will henceforth enter the Great Mystery in grand style, occupy this corner of the White Mountains and Black Waters, and establish a brand new banner outside the orthodox Great Mystery of Human Immortal Martial Arts!

Now, the question remains: how large is his appetite, and whether he truly represents only himself, or the Central Yellow Divine Court?
"How will the Prince of Yan, who is stationed in the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region, deal with such a situation?"

Ji Xiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head inwardly.

Although he had only met that vassal king once or twice, he had no interest in the position of the Great Cauldron in Baiyujing. He came to Baishan Heishui to retreat to a region and preserve his dignity.

Now facing this thorny situation
They may not necessarily take strong measures.

Furthermore, even if he had the will, the celestial phenomena have changed, the Dao has declined, and even the Heavenly Venerable level can step into the Great Profound Realm, which shows that the unity of all heavens and the transformation are imminent!
For example, the Divine Weapon Altar in this corner of the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region, Yu Huan Xie, Wang Quan Shi.
They might not obey his orders, and may have already made connections with other heretical forces, secretly colluding with them!
In any case, it seems like a dead end.

Ji Xiu frowned deeply. After all, this was the land that gave him birth and nurtured him. If it were to become a vassal of the "Divine Path" and be occupied by others, he would be forced to leave his homeland.
This was truly unacceptable to him.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Blade True Sect is still intact. Seeing Grandmaster Wang Xuanyang and a group of Heavenly Blade disciples approaching after hearing the commotion, Ji Xiu's worried expression eased slightly.
"Grandmaster, is everything alright in the sect?"

Wang Xuanyang nodded to indicate that there was no problem, then looked solemnly at the sky, and glanced at the Wangquan sword in Ji Xiu's sheath, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back:

"The sect is naturally fine; those petty scoundrels can't trouble our Sword Court."

"But what if such a being were to get involved now?"

A shadow fell over his face:

"It's likely that things will turn out badly from here on out."

Hearing his grandmaster speak like this, Ji Xiu agreed in his heart, but thinking that his family's foundation had only been established for a short time and was already in such a state, he could only offer words of comfort, though he felt helpless:
"It's alright. As the saying goes, there are green hills everywhere in life. Even if we can't stay on Jin'ao Island in Jiangyin Prefecture, as long as we are still here, as long as our master is here, and as long as our heritage is here, we can still establish our sect in other places."

Wang Xuanyang stood tall, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light, looking at Ji Xiu, whose physical body had almost reached its ultimate transformation. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly:

"No, that's not what my master meant."

"Originally, I wasn't planning to tell you if everything was progressing steadily."

As the dome was gradually eroded and enveloped by the [divine path], Wang Xuanyang remained silent for a long time before continuing his speech:

"Ji Xiu."

"Do you want to be crowned a title?"

title?

Ji Xiu, who had been comforting Wang Xuanyang and pondering where to re-establish his family business if Jiangyin was no longer an option, suddenly paused in surprise:
"Of course I want to, but a title is not something that can be obtained overnight. I am still far from that level. If I were to inherit the methods of my predecessors, I would surely be stuck at the level of a pseudo-Martial Saint in this lifetime. Naturally, I am unwilling to accept that."

Ji Xiu, who hadn't figured out why Wang Xuanyang had suddenly brought it up, instinctively responded.

Then, Wang Xuanyang continued:
"I am not saying this to seek a legacy of titles that would allow you to inherit their mantle and waste your life and your great talent."

"Do you know that although the ancestral court of the sword path has collapsed?"

"But what contingency plan did Grandmaster Zhou Chongyang leave behind for 'soaring to the heavens'?"

How could Ji Xiu not remember Zhou Chongyang, the number one martial artist in the world back then, who was unmatched below the Human Immortal level, and who supported the Dragon Court and helped Jiang Li ascend to the throne?

"What backup plan?"

Ji Xiu's eyes widened in surprise. He had never heard Wang Xuanyang mention this before, so he immediately asked.

Seeing Wang Xuanyang glance at Qi Nanke to the side, Ji Xiu understood immediately:

“Grandmaster, Senior Brother Qi is the contemporary leader of the Young Dragon Monument and the Daoist of Zhenwu Mountain. He has protected me a lot on this trip and is of the same origin as the Dragon Elephant lineage.”

"It can be trusted completely."

Qi Nanke smiled upon hearing this, but said nothing. He simply pulled Zhao Baijing beside him and gracefully went to the Dragon Fang warship, where they stood quietly.

Seeing his gentlemanly demeanor, Wang Xuanyang was taken aback. One of the Ten Pillars, the leader of the Young Dragon Stele?
When did my good grand-disciple get on such a large ship again?
Although he was briefly lost in thought, he quickly regained his composure and immediately adopted a solemn expression:
"The Great Snow Mountain of the Ancestral Court of the Sword is a forbidden land in the human world, and no one can usually set foot there."

Even in death, the seals and martial arts techniques that have been passed down through generations still prevent anyone from entering the path leading to the "deepest part of the Great Snow Mountain," where the greatest secret of the beginning of the Brahma era is said to be buried.

"According to the rumors before its destruction, the gifts contained within were enough to allow one to achieve immortality in a single glance, attain the supreme Reincarnation Heavenly Technique, and reach a level of power a hundred times stronger than the method I have now cultivated!"

"And rumors."

"Only those who possess the tokens of Patriarch Zhou Chongyang and Patriarch Wang Quan Wumu can enter!"

"But once it is opened, the whole world will be astonished."

"At that time, the Jiangnan Sword Mountain, which covets its position, the Divine Weapon Altar, and all sorts of demons and monsters will surely gather together and launch an attack!"

"No one has been able to unlock it for so many years, and we don't know how powerful that gift is." "But there is no doubt that it can definitely improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time!"

"However, the price is quite high. I originally planned to take you there to search for it in a few years, but now..."

Wang Xuanyang's meaning was quite clear at this point, and Ji Xiu was also taken aback, subconsciously touching the sheathed royal power, not expecting there to be this key.

The Reincarnation Heavenly Technique: a glance spans ten thousand years, a single leap to the heavens—the greatest gift of the late Brahma and early Profound Realm!
These words and phrases instantly disrupted his original plans.

Without even thinking, he spoke decisively:
"Grandmaster, if such a lineage truly exists, it cannot be attained solely by me."

"What is there to hesitate about?"

"Chaos has broken out in the world. If we don't follow the crowd, we can only bravely take the lead!"

"The ancestral home of the sword, deep within the Great Snow Mountain, if such a lineage truly exists..."

Even if the whole world is my enemy, I am willing!

With the world in chaos, a small family like ours is no match for the overwhelming force of the times; without achieving a title, we are nothing more than ants!

Even though Ji Xiu's progress was incredibly rapid, when faced with overwhelming challenges, he still inevitably paled in comparison.

I only regret not being born twenty years earlier!
If that were the case, Ji Xiu would be absolutely confident that he could sweep across the world and destroy all the demons and monsters. But that is not reality, it is just a hypothetical!
Now there are opportunities for advancement and promotion.
How can we let it slip away so easily through our fingers?
"Since you are so aware of this, then be prepared to bear the consequences."

"But who knows?"

"Grandmaster Zhou Chongyang really left everything deep in that snowy mountain, if that's the case."

"Perhaps you will be the third person to revive the Sword Court, following in the footsteps of Ancestor Zhou Chongyang and Ancestor Wang Quan Wumu."

Seeing Ji Xiu's determination, Wang Xuanyang also made up his mind to immediately take Ji Xiu to the White Mountain, Black Water, and Great Snow Mountain if the Divine Dao Celestial Venerable truly crossed the border!
And at this very moment.
Above that Earth Dragon Cave, there was actually a Heavenly Gate, solidified and wide open in a bright light!
Among them was a majestic figure wearing a six-Ding divine flying crown, a purple-gold robe, and a sash and seal. His body was surrounded by purple lightning, and he exuded a wild and arrogant aura that rushed towards us!

Even if they are separated by mountains and seas.

It still felt as if it were right next to you, and the oppressive aura it exuded made it hard to breathe!

"Is this the pinnacle of human existence, occupying a position of authority, receiving imperial decree, and possessing majesty comparable to one at the height of one's power?"

"In terms of sheer power, that Prince of Yan, who merely wields power, is indeed no match for him!"

Ji Xiu's eyes were solemn. Then he saw that the Yan fiefdom also had a being wearing a crown and the Yan king's robes, who seemed to be a dragon head formed from the energy of the six heavens, appear and confront him from a distance!
"As the Celestial Venerable of Zhonghuang, your act of breaking through the boundary gate and invading my territory without cause is already a grave offense, yet you still wish to negotiate with me."

What's there to talk about?

The manifested image of the Heavenly Venerable was none other than the original Yan King that Ji Xiu had seen before, but now his brows were icy cold and his tone was quite unfriendly.

It makes sense. Having extricated myself from the vortex of Baiyujing and come to this remote border region, I thought I was just trying to protect myself, but I never expected this.
The fuse that will cause this building to collapse may very well be lit in his own 'white mountains and black waters'!
Where can I find justice?!

However, since the Great Xuan has not yet collapsed, it would pale in comparison if it were to yield to the Central Yellow Divine Court.

Then he would have completely lost face as a vassal king, which is why he had hesitated to decide whether to annihilate those divine armor soldiers.

Even if he remained calm and observed the situation, the Heavenly Venerable Zhonghuang seemed to have gone mad for some reason, forcing him to reveal himself, which infuriated Jiang Shentong, who had no choice but to manifest his title aura.

But if we actually weigh it...
However, he may not be a match for the Heavenly Venerables who have attained a position in the Central Yellow Heaven!
Therefore, Jiang Shentong was extremely wary, and at the same time, he didn't know what this Celestial Venerable from beyond the heavens was up to.

The two falsely claiming to be at the pinnacle of human existence were not cultivated to that level themselves. They faced each other across the entire Eastern Canghai Sea. The difference was that Guangfa Ganglei Tianzun had received the imperial decree and was full of confidence.

As for Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, he was unsure of the situation, so he hesitated, but he never showed what he was thinking or pondering on his face.

Upon hearing his words, Guangfa Ganglei Tianzun had nearly condensed his Dharma body, crossed the boundary gate, and stood with his feet above the Earth Dragon Cave, overlooking the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Anning County.

Although he could feel the resistance emanating from this world,
The days when simply crossing the boundary gate and surpassing the title level would be considered divine punishment and result in a loss of strength are gone forever!

It is foreseeable that in the near future, this Great Mystery will connect all the heavens, and all the realms and paths will gather together to compete for their place in this world!

At the forefront, Guangfa Ganglei Tianzun felt a surge of pride and confidence. Facing the Prince of Yan's questioning, he simply smiled confidently.
"Great Xuan Prince, at your level, can't you understand the inevitable trend of the future?"

“Your land of white mountains and black waters is connected to my Central Yellow Divine Court, and the gate to the Divine Path is right in front of you. Your Great Xuan now has its Great Cauldron suspended in the air, and all the heavens are about to be unified. If you do not submit to my Divine Court, wouldn’t you be courting your own destruction?”

"Or do you think that the crumbling Great Xuan behind you can still take care of you, a person from the bitterly cold Northeast?"

"And what do you think?"

"Is my current mobilization merely to avenge the previous defeat of my subordinates?"

Could it be not?
The Prince of Yan's eyes were sharp and discerning, and upon hearing these words, his heart sank.

Following closely behind —

Then they saw that the Guangfa Ganglei Tianzun, who had condensed his Dharma body, suddenly made a move!

It surged forth from the Earth Dragon Cave like a raging torrent, a giant hand rose up as if covering the sky, turning into a dark haze, as if the might of heaven had suddenly descended.

It immediately swept through the wind and waves, like a giant mountain crashing down, traversing vast distances, and then precisely pressed down on Jin'ao Island!
"I have come bearing His Majesty's 'Taiyi' decree to capture and kill the remnants of the 'Black Emperor's' faction!"

"If you obstruct me."

"That would be to make things difficult for the Divine Court!"

"Prince of Yan, think this over carefully!"

Ji Xiu, who was merely observing, hadn't yet noticed anything amiss.

But when faced with such an undeserved calamity, a catastrophe that could topple the heavens, and seeing the dark clouds hanging over the sky...
He was stunned for a moment.

No, so this is aimed at me?!
The Supreme One's decree: Capture and kill the 'Black Emperor'!?

Thinking of what had happened not long ago, Ji Xiu's face twitched. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have peeled off the traces of the Book of Life and Death.
It must have been because of that one incident that this disaster occurred!
Just as Ji Xiu was beginning to regret his actions, wondering if the combined efforts of his two grandmasters and Qi Nanke's protectors could withstand such immense pressure,
The jade talisman he was wearing, which had been given to him by Jiang Shu and engraved with the character 'Jiang', suddenly became crystal clear and bright.

Before it could even display its power, long ago, when it left Anning County, it was given the 'Sun and Moon Pearl' by the last Xuanjun, whose whereabouts are now unknown, Jiang Li!

Suddenly it rose up, as if it had seized the creation of heaven and earth, becoming the essence of the sun and moon, radiating the magnificent majesty of humanity. As soon as it appeared, it shook the white mountains and black waters, and made the four rivers and three mountains boil!
All living beings, at this moment—

They all seemed to hear a majestic, solemn, and extremely revered cold female voice, as if it held the law of heaven, its spearhead aimed directly at the Guangfa Ganglei Heavenly Venerable!
"If that's the case, then call Taiyi."

"To make things difficult for me."

"You're not qualified." (End of Chapter)
