Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

[Realm: True Person (99%), 9,999 years of cultivation]

boom!

Su Chen's magical power and cultivation had reached a limit.

Then, a familiar feeling washed over me, even more intense than the last time!

His magical power had been stuck for 9,999 years and could not advance any further!

With his unparalleled level of comprehension and perception, he clearly sensed that heaven and earth were suppressing him, or rather, because his spiritual energy had dissipated, they were no longer allowing a certain existence to be born!

In Su Chen's perception, under such suppression and restriction, normal people basically had no chance of transformation.

If the difficulty of breaking through was originally one, now it's dozens, hundreds or more!

Su Chen frowned.

He was naturally dissatisfied with this situation.

Although he will leave this place after his magical power and cultivation reach ten thousand years and he completes the final transformation, it is still better than not being able to transform and break through!

After thinking for a moment, under Sun Bai's surprised gaze, Su Chen's body rippled, and he entered a state of oneness with nature, becoming one with the surrounding environment.

He tried to break through the shackles of heaven and earth by forcibly breaking through through enlightenment, just like last time!

However, after only a moment, he opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "No, my comprehension is a bit lacking..."

He felt like he was looking at the moon through a fog, and no matter how he looked at it, he could never see it clearly.

It's obvious that the lack of comprehension is the reason why the mystery cannot be grasped!

Su Chen's gaze involuntarily fell on comprehension.

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 919 (A title passed down through generations)]

Breathing exercises (minor success rate 42%)

"Speaking of which, my comprehension hasn't improved in a long time. If I could raise my comprehension to the next major level, that should be about it..."

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

At the same time, there is also a sudden enlightenment effect when one's comprehension undergoes a transformation. With this sudden enlightenment effect, one should be able to break through the suppression of heaven and earth and attain enlightenment!

With that thought in mind, he immediately made a decision: he would focus on comprehending the breathing technique!

After thinking about all this, he turned his attention back to his surroundings.

He glanced at the trembling ghost messenger Sun Bai beside him, and at the ghosts nearby.

Seeing that his magical power had reached 9,999 and could no longer increase, Su Chen had no intention of staying any longer.

next moment.

Under the gaze of Sun Bai and the other ghosts, Su Chen's figure slowly rose into the air.

His robes swayed slightly, and his inner energy was contained.

Then, it soared into the sky.

The figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the dark horizon in an instant.

"call……"

The ghost messenger Sun Bai finally let out a long breath and relaxed.

"This person... is finally gone."

He gazed at the sky with lingering fear, secretly wondering which being this mysterious immortal was.

While he continued to speculate, Su Chen quickly flew to the boundary between Yin and Yang.

The moment the entrance quietly opened, he rushed out.

……

The sky suddenly brightened.

The yin energy recedes.

Su Chen opened his eyes and found himself back in Guobei County.

He glanced at the secluded alley and immediately started walking towards the Zhang family's residence.

Soon, he returned to the east wing. After instructing Xiao Tao not to disturb him unless necessary, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to study the Daoist inscriptions of the breathing technique.

Just as he was in seclusion, meditating and comprehending.

In Guobei County, another controversy is quietly brewing.

The strange events at the Black Tiger Gang's base quickly spread throughout the county.

Coroner Wen Zhou, accompanied by yamen runners, appeared at the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters.

The vast encampment was completely empty.

Only a cold corpse remained, lying on the ground.

"hiss……"

Many constables felt their scalps tingle and a chill seep into their bones after just one glance.

Coroner Wen Zhou squatted down and carefully examined the body, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"His neck showed obvious bruising, his throat was strained, and his breath was cut off. He did not die of his own volition; he was strangled by someone else."

After he finished speaking, all around him fell silent.

At this moment, someone in the crowd hesitated and spoke up.

"This person... I think I recognize him."

A middle-aged constable swallowed hard and whispered, "It seems... to be that scoundrel who murdered Master Zhang?"

This statement came out.

The Black Tiger Gang's headquarters fell into a suffocating silence.

Everyone subconsciously looked around, and as they gazed at the deserted encampment, a chill ran through them.

A series of chilling speculations surfaced in their minds, all related to the eldest son of the Zhang family.

After all, how could so many members of the Black Tiger Gang suddenly disappear, and one of them who didn't disappear died such a tragic death?

Even they wouldn't believe it if I said there were no problems.

among the crowd.

The coroner, Wen Zhou, was deeply saddened. He murmured, "There have long been rumors that the eldest son of the Zhang family has been possessed by an evil spirit."

"This Black Tiger Gang..."

He didn't say anything more.

But all the constables and officers present understood.

The fear in their eyes grew even stronger.

soon.

Rumors began to spread quietly in Guobei County.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, undercurrents are swirling.

A middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothing quietly approached a young man and whispered,

"Have you heard? That eldest son of the Zhang family is a demon in disguise!"

"He killed all the members of the Black Tiger Gang!"

"I heard it's even scarier." The young man looked nervous. "I heard that Master Zhang didn't come back to life at all; he's now a living dead, a walking corpse..."

"hiss……"

Gasps of astonishment echoed through the streets.

quickly

When the people of Guobei County passed by the Zhang family's residence, they all took a detour.

Those who occasionally passed by would only watch from afar, whispering among themselves, their expressions filled with fear.

Many residents of Guobei County have begun to pray that a master will appear soon to subdue this young master!

The backyard of the Guobei County Government Office.

When Magistrate Wang Shenzhi learned of this, he trembled even more and prayed, "Master Fahai, you must come quickly and make this monstrous young master Zhang reveal his true form and be utterly destroyed!"

Just as he was praying that those scoundrels, Xu Zhen, would hurry up and invite Master Fahai over.

……

Zhang Family Residence.

Outside the east wing.

Looking at the closed door and the young master who hadn't shown up for a long time, Xiao Tao stood on the corridor, her face pale, her hands unconsciously twisting together, and her heart trembling slightly.

She had naturally heard the rumors circulating in Guobei County.

The claim that the eldest son of the Zhang family was a demon in disguise was increasingly horrifying...

She instinctively didn't want to believe it.

But the young master's changes over the past few days have been far too unusual.

Silence, calmness, and detachment made him seem like a complete stranger.

She couldn't help but overthink it.

"Could it be... that young master really is..."

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she abruptly cut it off.

"No, it can't be, it can't be..."

Xiao Tao frantically denied it in her heart, her breathing becoming rapid.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak but then stopped, wanting to ask a question, but the words just wouldn't come out.
