Skill Level: lv2

[Based on calculations, 17 Dimensional Points can be consumed to activate the cultivation acceleration function. Activate now?]

"As expected, as long as you have enough talent, even if the level of the cultivation technique is high, the cost of accelerating the cultivation can still be very low."

. . . . . .

Nanhai Prefecture City.

The prefect Xie Qun, who was quite authoritative, was troubled by the hair-shaving edict that had been issued recently.

He was originally the prefectural magistrate of this area, but the former prefect was beheaded by Liu Lin on the city wall for refusing to surrender.

The former prefect was killed by a team of enforcers composed of Luo sect masters a couple of days ago for opposing the shaving order, which allowed him to take over the position.

But after he came to power, he found that the hair-shaving order was difficult to implement.

Local scholars in the South China Sea denounced him as disloyal and unjust, and local clans rallied the people to besiege the government office for days, even spreading rumors that they wanted to take his life.

He repeatedly petitioned the higher authorities to send troops to quell the unrest, but was always turned down on the grounds of "insufficient manpower." The joy he had felt at his promotion had long since vanished, leaving him only with constant anxiety.

"Alas, it's not easy to be an official in chaotic times."

Xie Qun sighed, not knowing what to do.

Just then, a gatekeeper hurried over and said:

"Lord Xie, there's a Taoist priest surnamed Ji outside the yamen who wants... wants..."

"What do you want? Stop nagging!" Xie Qun scolded, dissatisfied.

The gatekeeper gritted his teeth and went all out, saying:

He said he wants you to see him immediately, and that he won't wait for you once you've eaten!

"What?!"

Xie Qun slammed his hand on the armchair, about to order his men to beat the arrogant Taoist outside the door with sticks.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he remembered the edict delivered by the awe-inspiring Commander Ji.

"What is your honorable surname, Taoist priest?"

"......season."

The gatekeeper cautiously looked up, trying to observe the prefect's expression.

But before he could even look up, he saw his imposing prefect, who hadn't even bothered to put on his official hat properly, staggering towards the door.

They were even more excited than the performers at the brothel when they met their most important client.

. . . . . .

Ji Chen only slightly revealed some of his skills, which made Xie Qun completely believe that he was the "Ji family descendant".

Xie Qun followed Ji Chen around busily, taking care of everything needed.

The entire estate was overflowing with all sorts of medicinal herbs and vital energy tonics, sparing no expense in sending them to Ji Chen.

Several days later, he received a definite reply to the secret letter he sent to Guangling City.

From that day on, when he requested troops to suppress the rebellion, he was no longer met with evasive responses.

Hundreds of elite troops were immediately stationed in Nanhai Prefecture, at his disposal, and his superiors repeatedly praised his achievements in public.

Xie Qun knew he had made the right bet.

In return for his kindness, he treated Ji Chen with even greater care, revering him as if he were an ancestor.

Ji Chen knew Xie Qun's intentions and accepted all the benefits without hesitation.

He thus secluded himself in the South China Sea City to cultivate, and his [Taiyi Pure Yang One Qi Breathing Method] was smoothly transitioning from level 4 to level 5.

The "Heart Sutra" is also progressing towards level 4.

Due to insufficient dimensional points, he could only cultivate the [Nine Diagrams, Six Seated Images] technique to level 2 on his own.

The "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Postures" technique is probably the one that provides the greatest boost to strength among these three pieces.

It is based on the Federation's in-depth understanding of the 206 bones and 639 muscles of the human body, combined with various superpower knowledge, and designed 54 static sitting postures.

The core idea is that "when the form is correct, the Qi flows smoothly; when the Qi flows smoothly, the essence is generated; when the essence is generated, the bones are strong." This concept can subtly refine one's own essence and Qi and reshape and improve one's innate physical constitution.

In terms of enhancing potential, it far surpasses the Yi Jin Jing.

The cultivation process will also improve the cultivator's physical strength.

Similarly, it also has the disadvantages of slow cultivation efficiency and excessively long settling period.

The second-generation apostle needed time to mature, so Ji Chen had no choice but to focus his energy on the larger version of "Ji Qingyun".

. . . . . .

Guangling City.

Ji Chen, as usual, was discussing Taoism with Zhang Jichang, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, in the quiet room.

Both of them were confined to this land, with nothing to do all day, so this was the only way they could pass the time.

After exchanging a few words on the scriptures, Zhang Jichang exclaimed in amazement:

"Layman, you are very insightful, especially these past few days. Your understanding of the classics and ideas has become increasingly profound. Even I can no longer easily stump you with my questions."

He then said with a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that Layman Ji is deeply entangled in the battlefield; otherwise, if he could escape this worldly defilement and find a sacred mountain and blessed land, perhaps he could even ascend to immortality!"

Ji Chen smiled without saying a word.

With the blessing of Ji Yuanxu, a cultivation genius, it would be strange if he were to comprehend things slowly.

However, he was soon intrigued by Zhang Jichang's mention of "ascension".

"Is Master Zhang's talk of ascension true or false? Are there any examples?"

Zhang Jichang hesitated slightly, considered his words carefully, and then affirmed:

"Not to mention distant examples, in the past five hundred years alone, our ancestors at Longhu Mountain have personally witnessed at least three such cases!"

Zhang Jichang's eyes held an admiring and hopeful look as he said:

"During the Northern Song Dynasty, the True Man Ziyang first underwent corpse liberation and then ascended to heaven, a feat that was extremely dangerous and mysterious."

"Similarly, there was also Chen Tuan, the patriarch of Wudang, who dreamt of ascending to heaven, his body becoming ethereal, and his rainbow light stretching for thousands of miles."

"There was also an unnamed Taoist master from Yizhou who, after discussing the Tao with my high-ranking Taoist priest, gained some enlightenment and ascended to immortality on the spot. For three years, the Taoist temple resounded with the sounds of immortals."

When he spoke of these things, Zhang Jichang's eyes were filled with longing.

He so desperately wanted to achieve immortality and add another brilliant chapter to the legend of Longhu Mountain.

"What about that peerless master of Wudang Mountain? Is there any hope of him ascending to immortality?"

Ji Chen was shocked by the scene described by Zhang Jichang and found it hard to accept.

Even though the martial arts of this world tend to focus on realm comprehension in the later stages, they can generate various spiritual images with relatively low mental intensity.

But ascension... ...

That's absolutely incredible.

This is a truly low-energy world, the only special thing is that the land is more fertile than Earth in my previous life, and can grow powerful medicines.

It was out of surprise that he asked if it was possible for the most powerful beings in the world to ascend to immortality.

Ji Chen's question hit Zhang Jichang's sore spot.

Wudang Mountain is a major obstacle for Longhu Mountain. As both are prominent Taoist sects and both are located in the south, the two are often compared by people all over the world.

The key point is that there are many people with the surname Zhang in Wudang Mountain.

Moreover, they are still no match for them.

"Hmm... Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain is indeed a master of Taoism, one of the best in the world. But as for whether he can ascend to immortality, I personally think he lacks a bit of fate."

Zhang Jichang stammered.

Ji Chen nodded. With the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain showing such an attitude, it seemed that the one from Wudang Mountain had a very good chance of ascending to immortality.

"Ascend to heaven... ..."

Ji Chen felt that he needed to re-examine the world.

If Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain was like this, then the same would likely be true of the supreme master of the Great Snow Mountain and that Emperor Lin.

Even in a low-energy world, extraordinary beings can emerge.

The Heavenly Man who thoroughly investigates the changes between Heaven and Man.

In a moment of spiritual connection, Ji Yuanxu, far away in the South China Sea, sensed the three highly prominent auras in the world.
