Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Thinking about improving his comprehension, Su Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Should we take advantage of our last moments before leaving to collect some Taoist magic from *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*?"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment.

Collecting Daoist techniques is quite troublesome. In the past, even if it was troublesome, he would have found a way to search for them, but now…

His gaze was fixed on the east wing.

At this moment, looking at the things around him, he had a mysterious feeling of seeing mountains as not mountains, water as not water, and then seeing mountains as mountains again and water as water again.

Simply put, his comprehension has reached an exaggerated level, making him a natural-born sage!

Humans follow the laws of the earth, the earth follows the laws of heaven, heaven follows the laws of the Tao, and the Tao follows the laws of nature!

Looking at his surroundings, he had a vague feeling that he could create his own laws based on his comprehension.

However, his comprehension is still a bit low at the moment. He feels that he needs to calm down and contemplate for a considerable period of time before he can comprehend the Dao.

Su Chen had a vague feeling that if his comprehension continued to improve, he wouldn't need other people's Dao techniques; he could create one Dao technique after another simply by observing them himself.

Therefore, he hesitated and felt troubled about whether or not to seek Taoist teachings in Liaozhai.

Moreover, as a world of classical supernatural tales, apart from a very small number of Taoist techniques, the power of most Taoist techniques is actually just so-so.

After a long pause, he shook his head. "Never mind, let's see how things go after the breakthrough..."

Of course, if he breaks through and his comprehension is transformed, allowing him to create his own techniques, then he won't bother searching for Daoist techniques anymore.

If your comprehension is still insufficient, and you are not immediately rejected and forced to leave, then take advantage of the last bit of time to gather as much Taoist knowledge as possible.

After thinking it over, Su Chen focused his attention on his own cultivation level.

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

He still had that subtle feeling of breakthrough, and he could break through at any time if he wanted to.

Su Chen sighed, glancing out of the east wing, and murmured, "It's time to tell them..."

He stood up and walked out of the east wing.

With a creak, the door opened.

"Young Master?"

Xiao Tao outside was slightly taken aback.

Su Chen nodded slightly, then walked towards the main hall of the Zhang family.

soon.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Zhang family was somber.

Zhang Shanhai suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "Xuan'er, you're going to ascend to immortality in three days?!"

The sound echoed in the hall.

The teacup in her mother Xu's hand trembled slightly, spilling a few drops of tea, but she was completely unaware.

Zhang Xing stood there, stunned.

Xiao Tao covered her mouth.

A moment of silence fell over the hall.

Su Chen nodded, his expression calm.

Zhang Shanhai's chest heaved, wanting to say something, but he found his throat tight and he couldn't say anything.

Madam Xu's eyes reddened, and she finally couldn't help but speak, "Xuan'er... could we do it later...?"

Her voice trembled.

That was a mother's most instinctive attempt to keep her child from leaving.

Zhang Shanhai frowned subconsciously, but reason told him that he couldn't stop them or delay them.

Upon hearing what Ms. Xu said, he wanted to refute it without even thinking.

However, before he could say anything, Su Chen's mood became somewhat complicated. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, then let's do it a month from now."

The sound faded.

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and almost burst into tears.

Zhang Shanhai opened his mouth, wanting to offer some advice, but ultimately didn't say anything.

The seriousness on his face gradually relaxed, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually softened.

Time flows slowly by.

For the next month, Su Chen did not go into seclusion again.

He no longer sought enlightenment or practiced cultivation, and seemed to have truly become an ordinary teenager.

I chatted with my father in the courtyard early in the morning.

In the afternoon, I listened to my mother rambling on about everyday things.

Look at Xiao Tao, busy with all sorts of things.

Sometimes I would stand alone in the courtyard and watch the sunset.

Outside the courtyard walls, the sounds of daily life unfold.

Inside the courtyard walls, there is a rare tranquility.

During this process, news of his ascension to immortality a month later also spread from the Zhang family.

The people of Guobei County were excited and full of anticipation, and even people outside Guobei County were talking about it.

As time went by, more and more people from other places flocked to Guobei County, just to witness the ascension to immortality.

Even the imperial court sent people, and many high-ranking officials also came to Guobei County on their own initiative.

Guobei County has never been so crowded.

The once quiet streets were now covered in dust from the wheels and hooves of horses.

The inn was fully booked, and even the woodshed was rented out at a high price.

The restaurant was packed every day, the manager's abacus clicked away, and his smile never faded.

Vendors selling incense, candles, and paper money raised their prices on short notice, but demand still couldn't keep up with the demand.

"Ten more sticks of the finest incense, please!"

"Two superior rooms will be provided; money is not a problem!"

The entire county town seemed to have been thrust into a grand festival.

Outside the Zhang family's gate.

The offerings were still piled up like mountains.

Chicken, duck, fish, and meat were arranged neatly, and fruits and snacks were changed daily, for fear that they would not be fresh enough and offend the immortals.

The incense smoke lingered almost continuously.

Some people knelt for half a day, just to find peace of mind.

Some people kowtowed so hard that their foreheads were red and swollen, but they still refused to get up.

Some cultivators even sat cross-legged outside the Zhang family's gate, closing their eyes and breathing exercises, trying to sense that trace of divine energy.

The only change was that government officials and constables were now stationed in front of the gate to maintain order.

"Step back! Don't push!"

"Put the incense over there!"

Under these circumstances, time passed day by day.

Soon, a month later, on the morning of the day he ascended to immortality, arrived.

……

early morning.

The sun rose from the east, casting a pale golden glow over Guobei County.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the Zhang family's gate.

Densely packed, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The group included local residents as well as scholars, merchants, and Taoist practitioners who had come from other counties and the prefectural city.

Further away, officials sent by the imperial court stood on a high platform.

All eyes were on the Zhang family's residence, and some people whispered among themselves.

"Is today the day he ascends to heaven?"

"Judging by the dates, it's today!"

"Why is there still no movement? Do we have to wait until noon?"

The sounds rose and fell, and the crowd was both excited and apprehensive.

Not far away.

Yan Chixia carried the sword box on his back, his eyes burning with intensity.

Ning Caichen looked tense and asked curiously, "Great Hero Yan, what do you mean by ascending to immortality? Is it really about becoming a god in heaven?"

While the two of them were talking.

Fahai, dressed in a cassock, also gazed solemnly in the direction of the Zhang family residence.

After waiting for a month, he finally witnessed the moment when the eldest son of the Zhang family ascended to immortality!

Thinking about it, he sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful.

This young master is the most gifted person he has ever seen. Even when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapsed, he was still able to cultivate to the point of ascension!

Unfortunately, this young master Zhang was too bloodthirsty and entangled in worldly affairs. Heaven and earth could no longer allow the birth of immortals. It can only be said that the heavens were jealous of his talent!

This young master Zhang will undoubtedly not survive the tribulation of ascension to immortality that is descending from heaven and earth!
