Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 153: Seclusion Leads to Breakthrough at the Middle Stage of the Great Luo Realm; Shi Ji Accepts a Disciple; Taiyi's Unease; The Contest Between Yuanshi and Tongtian

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Jiao and Di Xin also became serious. Yang Jiao stepped forward and, sensing the other party's cultivation level, subtly shielded Di Xin behind him, clasping his hands and saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoist. I hope you will forgive my unauthorized disturbance."

Li Mu looked at Yang Jiao and Di Xin with some curiosity. One of them had a martial arts aura that seemed to pierce the sky. Although Li Mu could sense that this person was at the same level as him, he could also sense that he couldn't withstand a single blow from him.

As for the young man behind him, Li Mu couldn't understand him at all. No matter how he tried to hide his imperial aura, Li Mu could still sense this immense imperial power. Even the king of Zhao was far inferior to the young man in front of him.

Li Mu smiled gently and said, "It's alright. May I ask where you come from, fellow Daoist? Would you be so kind as to come into my residence for a chat?"

Yang Jiao and Di Xin exchanged a glance and then replied, "Very well, then we'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

"Haha, please!" Li Mu gestured for them to enter. Then, as he led the way, he introduced the environment of the capital of Zhao to the two of them, and secretly probed their bottom line and background, whether they had any powerful forces behind them, and what their views were on Zhao.

Not long after the three arrived at the general's mansion, Lian Po, whose aura was powerful and whose body was filled with killing intent and murderous intent, heard about this and came to pay a visit without even changing his armor.

Lin Xiang, now the Prime Minister of Zhao, upon learning of the arrival of these two extraordinary individuals in Zhao, also came to Li Mu's residence, seemingly on behalf of the King of Zhao, to inquire whether Yang Jiao and Di Xin were willing to join the Zhao state.

After discussing it, Di Xin and Yang Jiao agreed to stay, but they also made a series of agreements. Countless blood and qi cultivation methods collected by the Zhao Kingdom were sent to the two of them, allowing their martial arts level to advance by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, in the realm of immortals and humans, Di Xin abandoned his identity as a human emperor and instead joined the army of the Zhao Kingdom, participating in numerous battles and clashes, which allowed his martial arts realm to advance by leaps and bounds within a thousand years.

As for the number of times Yang Jiao has taken action, it can be counted on one hand. The State of Zhao also respects Yang Jiao very much. Unless absolutely necessary, they would never let Yang Jiao take action. Instead, they regard Yang Jiao as part of the foundation of the State of Zhao!

The appearance of these two individuals caused quite a stir among the feudal lords, and their names appeared in the intelligence reports of various states.

"Yang Jiao, Yin Shou..." Wu Qi of Chu, Shang Yang of Qin, Pang Juan of Wei, and others looked at the names of the two men as if they had appeared out of thin air.

"Could they be orphans of the Shang Dynasty?"

…………

While Yang Jiao and Di Xin were training in the Immortal Realm, Su Shao Chen had already been in seclusion for 1,100 years.

On this day, Su Shao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the aura of the initial stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal on his body erupted to an extreme peak, sometimes giving people the feeling of the initial stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and sometimes giving people the feeling of the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Finally, with a soft shout from Su Shao Chen, all the abundant innate spiritual energy in the Queen Mother of the West's dojo surged into Su Shao Chen's body.

"break!"

A powerful vortex of innate spiritual energy appeared at the Queen Mother of the West's sacred site, attracting the attention of many living beings.

You Ruo, who had led Su Shao Chen to the Western Queen Mother's Daoist temple years ago, couldn't help but sigh softly upon sensing Su Shao Chen's cultivation level.

When Su Shao Chen first came to the Queen Mother of the West's dojo, he was only at the Taiyi realm, while she was at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Su Shao Chen is already at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while she is still at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...

After Su Shao Chen's magical power broke through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he also began to circulate the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. His original physical body barrier realm began to fluctuate, and finally, he naturally broke through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After both of them broke through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Su Shao Chen clenched his fists, sensing the power of the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. The feeling brought by this power made Su Shao Chen feel extremely immersed, as if only power and realm could bring him a sense of security.

After both of them broke through their cultivation levels, Su Shao Chen went into seclusion for nine hundred years to stabilize his cultivation. During those nine hundred years of seclusion, he refined his understanding of the early and middle stages of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his literary and Daoist laws became even more terrifying than before.

Nine hundred years later, Su Shao Chen emerged from seclusion and went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother of the West before preparing to leave.

Yang Jiao and Di Xin's training in the Immortal Realm will only end after six thousand years, and he also wants to take advantage of this time to visit the human race.

After returning from the human realm, I went to see my master and report to my grandmaster about recent events.

With this in mind, Su Shao Chen left Kunlun Hang and headed towards the coast of the East China Sea. Several days later, his figure appeared in the Muye region.

At this moment, Su Shao Chen looked at the various changes in the Muye land and the places inhabited by the human race, and he couldn't help but look towards Zao Huo Peak.

In recent years, Uncle-Master Luo Xuan has made quite a stir among the human race, and he has been able to obtain human merits from time to time, which has made many disciples of the Jie Sect envious.

Su Shao Chen deliberately revealed a trace of his aura, and the next moment Luo Xuan appeared in front of Su Shao Chen, laughing loudly, "Shao Chen, it has been thousands of years since you last visited my Zao Huo Peak."

Su Shao Chen, seeing Luo Xuan's aura nearly reaching that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, also smiled and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Uncle-Master, on your great advancement in cultivation! You will surely reach the Grand Luo realm within ten thousand years!"

"Haha, thank you for your kind words, Junior Nephew. Where is Shao Chen going this time? Fellow Daoist Shi Ji also passed through Zao Huo Peak three hundred years ago. I even chatted with Fellow Daoist Shi Ji for a few words back then. Fellow Daoist Shi Ji's cultivation has undergone earth-shattering changes in the past tens of thousands of years. It's just that Shao Chen's story back then actually resonated with Shi Ji. I never expected that she would be rushing straight to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Luo Xuan's tone was complicated as he spoke. Who would have thought that someone who was just an average or even below-average second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect would have such an extraordinary opportunity after hearing what his junior disciple Shao Chen said?

"I observed that Fellow Daoist Shiji has already comprehended the Great Luo Law, but the opportunity for her to attain Great Luo has not yet arrived. I once asked Fellow Daoist Shiji where she was going, and she said that she wanted to go to Chentang Pass to take on a disciple, and that the disciple would be her opportunity to attain Great Luo."

Su Shao Chen suddenly realized what Luo Xuan meant. It was indeed time for Nezha to be born. As for the opportunity that Shi Ji mentioned, it should be Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren.

If she can overcome this predetermined cause and effect, Shi Ji will be able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm naturally. If she fails to overcome it, she may end up on the Investiture of the Gods list.

With this in mind, Su Shao Chen did not stay at Zao Huo Peak for long before using the Xing Zi Jue (行字诀) technique to head towards Chen Tang Pass.

At the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain, Taiyi Zhenren, who had just broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm after risking his life, had a solemn expression on his face.

Since that incident, it seems that his cultivation speed has been affected for some reason. Originally, with his accumulated foundation, breaking through to the peak of the Great Luo Filial Piety realm should have been easy, but now it seems that something invisible is making his cultivation speed extremely slow. Even things that were extremely simple before seem difficult now!

Taiyi had some premonitions about what happened last time, and he had asked the sect leader about it. The sect leader told him that it was his tribulation, but also his supreme opportunity.

If one can overcome this obstacle, one will be free to roam the Great Dao in the future, no longer bound by the limitations of heaven and earth, and may even aspire to become a Quasi-Saint, or even reach the peak of Quasi-Saint.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun also did not tell Taiyi Zhenren that even if Taiyi survived this tribulation, it probably wouldn't change the mysterious heavenly secret, because his name was already on the Investiture of the Gods...

But the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. All things have a glimmer of hope. This calamity is indeed an opportunity, and it is also the will of Heaven. Everything depends on the creation of Taiyi.
