Having mastered the Daoist arts, you're telling me you're in a world of demons and monster

In an instant, the cell fell into a deathly silence.

laugh.

Jiang Xuanjing flicked his finger, and a burst of energy slashed through the air, instantly shattering all the chains around him.

This seemingly effortless and unassuming method sent a jolt through Zhao Wuduan, his eyes widening in disbelief and horror.

Recalling his earlier display of power in instantly killing the crescent-shaped youth, a thought suddenly exploded in Zhao Wuduan's mind.

Enter the Tao! ?

This young Taoist is actually a giant who has entered the Dao?

But the next moment, just like the crescent-shaped youth, he couldn't figure out Jiang Xuanjing's background.

Logically speaking, every powerful cultivator who has entered the Dao should be famous throughout the world.

Or is it that I'm overthinking things?

"My name is Zhao Wuduan, and I hold the unworthy position of centurion in the Xuanjing Division. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace, senior. Upon my return to my superior, I will certainly..."

Zhao Wuduan was about to say some polite words to report his success, but then he remembered the inside man who had secretly colluded with the powerful demon to enter the country. He immediately changed the subject and said respectfully:

"If you, senior, have any request, I will gladly die for you!"

If Jiang Xuanjing hadn't appeared in time, his fate today would have been unimaginable.

Even if he is not a highly accomplished cultivator, he is undoubtedly at the sixth level of cultivation, so calling him a senior is certainly appropriate.

"Xuan Jingsi?"

Jiang Xuanjing asked.

This name was naturally unheard of on the green hills.

"???"

Zhao Wuduan was taken aback.

Could it be that this senior has just emerged from seclusion?

This looks like something even the Xuanjing Division has never heard of?

The Great Xin Dynasty has now established its rule over the world for over seven hundred years.

He composed himself, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "May I ask your name, senior?"

"Xuanchen Temple".

"Jiang Xuanjing".

Xuanchen Temple?

Jiang Xuanjing?

Zhao Wuduan's mind raced, but he couldn't recall anything.

With such a powerful expert at the Dao level, the sect's foundation must be comparable to the Eight Sects and Ten Paths. How could its name never have spread in the world?

Did I really misunderstand?

Is this person actually just a cultivator in seclusion at the sixth level of magical arts?

"Oh, Qingshan Xuanchen Temple."

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xuanjing casually added a comment, and then continued to ask:

"Tell me, is this Xuanjing Division, and all these demons, really the same thing?"

Green Mountain?

Qingshan in Qingshan County?

So, their Zhangtai Mansion actually has such a powerful figure in charge?

Yet, they know nothing about the demons and monsters of the world...

Zhao Wuduan dared not speculate any further and quickly spoke, explaining in the simplest terms what Jiang Xuanjing had asked.

The Great Xin Dynasty, the Xuanjing Division, the Demon-Slaying Guards, demons wreaking havoc in all directions, and the Imperial Dew...

"Are you saying that demons roam freely throughout this Great Xin Dynasty?"

Jiang Xuanjing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Having previously slain that little wolf demon, the Heavenly Book in his mind had already progressed by a significant amount.

If a few more are killed, the Heavenly Book will be complete, and who knows what changes will occur then?

Is it a new Taoist method, a true scripture?

Or perhaps other variations?

"Exactly."

Zhao Wuduan had long since stopped caring about Jiang Xuanjing's various "ignorances" and continued to explain:

"Qingshan County is an exception. In recent years, there has never been any incident of demons taking human form and causing trouble. However, in other prefectures and counties outside Qingshan County, demonic troubles have occurred frequently. It is only because the Xuanjing Division has dealt with them swiftly that little news has leaked out..."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Xuanjing asked no more questions; he already knew what he needed to know.

Since demons and monsters roam the world, as a Taoist priest, he should help the people, slay demons, and eliminate evil.

Complete your own Heavenly Book and Daoist teachings!

Even without the extraordinary phenomena of the Heavenly Book, the trip was worthwhile simply because of the insights gained into the Golden Core Dao.

"senior……"

Zhao Wuduan spoke cautiously,

"How about we find somewhere else to talk..."

The air was thick with the stench of blood, but fortunately, Zhao Wuduan had achieved great success in his cultivation, his true energy was inexhaustible, and he had become a body without any flaws, so he was safe and sound.

"Alright."

Jiang Xuanjing nodded slightly.

"However, I have some insights from my cultivation..."

Golden Pill Avenue.

Perhaps it's time to give it a try.

"Senior, I have a residence in the city that is absolutely quiet. Would you do me the honor?"

Zhao Wuduan was very respectful.

He was terrified; although the crescent-shaped youth was dead, his inside man was still alive.

If Lord Qianhu is indeed that traitor, without a senior by his side, he would truly be restless!

Moreover...

That desperate scene still lingered in his mind.

"That's acceptable."

Jiang Xuanjing thus saved some time returning to Xuanchen Temple.

"As for the cleanup here, that's up to you."

Zhao Wuduan was, after all, a centurion of the Xuanjing Division, and thus a court official; he was naturally more competent to handle these matters than Zhao Wuduan.

"It's my duty."

Zhao Wuduan felt relieved.

After the two left, a wisp of gray mist slowly rose from the corpse of the crescent-shaped youth in the dungeon.

No one can see it.

Or rather...

Nobody cared.

……

……

West of Qingshan County.

Inside a quiet courtyard.

Jiang Xuanjing sat on the ground, his mind clear and focused.

The "Jade Purity Six Imperial Heart True Scripture" flowed slowly through my mind.

Immeasurable spiritual light flashed in my heart.

Several scrolls lay scattered beside him, which Zhao Wuduan had respectfully presented, recording some insights into cultivation.

For Jiang Xuanjing, these insights were not entirely unhelpful, but rather completely useless!

After all, their cultivation paths were never the same from the beginning.

What truly caught his attention was the book's detailed description of the cultivation levels in this realm.

In this world, spiritual practice is generally divided into two paths.

Martial arts practitioners use their bodies as furnaces to refine their qi and blood, and to temper their bodies and attain spiritual enlightenment.

Those who practice magic use qi as a medium to absorb and release magical power, thereby controlling the law and communicating with spirits.

However, no matter which path one takes, truly entering the path of cultivation and breaking through the initial stage is extremely difficult.

Within this, martial arts and magic are each divided into six realms, and those above the six realms are collectively referred to as the advanced realms of the Dao.

As for higher realms beyond the Upper Realm, the book records very few, but it is likely that they exist.

"I wonder what level I'm at now?"

Jiang Xuanjing remained calm and didn't pay much attention.

His spiritual practice was completely different from that of this world.

Those who cultivate in this world, whether they are refining their qi and blood or absorbing magical power, must hone their skills little by little, accumulate knowledge day by day, and slowly make progress.

However, the "Jade Purity Six Imperial True Heart Scripture" he cultivated used the Dao Heart as its pivot, combined with the mystery of the Mysterious Female, and directly drew the true Qi of the Great Void of Heaven and Earth into his body, condensed it in the elixir cauldron, and filled his Purple Palace.

These were his previous two realms.

The first is the alchemical furnace.

The second is the Purple Palace.

Jiang Xuanjing had already pushed these two steps to their limits.

Today, he will break through another barrier on the foundation of his Purple Mansion and condense his Golden Core!

When a single thought arises, all phenomena follow.

Jiang Xuanjing's body was in harmony with the five elements of heaven, his mind and spirit connected with the ten directions of the universe, and the yin and yang energies within his body flowed naturally, giving rise to profound mysteries.

In an instant, an invisible roar resounded within his body.

Golden Elixir, complete!

Everything happened naturally and effortlessly!

boom!

As Jiang Xuanjing successfully broke through to the next realm and began to comprehend the Golden Core,

Suddenly, the weather over Qingshan County changed dramatically, and the once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.

Thunder surged and roared through the clouds, its deafening roar echoing across the land, as if the heavens were enraged and about to unleash their punishment upon humanity.
