Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 177 The Dragon Elephant Dao Child is none other than Ji Xiu! The Five Decays and Three Calamities, the Reincarnation Heavenly Technique, points directly to the Human Immortal!!
This sound.
Why does it look so familiar?

Upon hearing this long, resounding shout, which sounded like heavenly music, Ji Xiu was immediately stunned.

Followed by.

Ji Xiu suddenly remembered when he left the Jiangyin Prefectural Courtyard.

The master Xu Longxiang, whom he had just taken as his disciple two days ago, had instructed him to go to the mansion this evening to receive the transmission of his teachings.

I originally thought that it would only be a meal with old friends from Anning County, such as Zhao Jiu and Cai Ling'er, and wouldn't take much time.

However, due to the sudden incident involving his grandmaster 'Wang Xuanyang', Ji Xiu's original plan was disrupted, so he went to the Heavenly Blade Sect first, thus delaying the matter.

The Purple Cloud Sect Master, with his imposing aura and fierce momentum, brought about a series of interconnected events. Originally, Ji Xiu's heart sank to the bottom as he pondered how to resolve today's troubles, having already put the matter out of his mind.

After all, if this old man wasn't afraid of Pei Daoran's power as the 'Head of the Academy,' and didn't take Xiao Mingli, the fallen noblewoman, seriously, then he was truly in a precarious position.
Perhaps, only by bringing up the prestigious name of the powerful Xie family behind "Master Xie" could they possibly gain the upper hand.

However, before Ji Xiu could even borrow the tiger's power and carefully consider his words, he spoke.
Unexpected changes suddenly occurred!
"who!?"

Wei Changkong, who originally had a martial arts aura rising behind him, transforming into a purple glow coming from the east, looked confident and composed.

but.
When he heard it clearly, he understood the words that stretched for miles.

When I watched as Xu Longxiang transformed into the form of the 'Primordial Dragon Elephant' and arrived suddenly with a mountain-like body, riding on long winds and hurricanes!

A sudden chill ran down his spine. His martial arts intuition was frantically warning him, as if every word the other person said was true!

If he makes a move
Perhaps in the eyes of this genuine, all-powerful 'Martial Saint', he really was no different from an ant!
"The will of martial arts, when it evolves into a Dharma body, becomes the 'Martial Saint Dharma Body'."

"It's a level that only those who have truly reached the upper three realms and earned their titles can achieve."

"This person, this person!"

Wei Changkong watched from afar as the Canglan River surged with turbulent waves, and as the Martial Saint's Dharma Body, which pressed down on all directions, stepped onto Jin'ao Island. He was stunned for several breaths, and his body completely stiffened.

Even the faint purple aura formed by the dragon and tiger behind him gradually disappeared.

It was as if, from a great distance, the 'Primordial Dragon Elephant', formed from that raging aura, had completely crushed and shattered it, turning it into dust and specks of light that vanished with the wind!
Qi transforms into dragons and tigers, the avatar of a martial saint!
Although it is only a difference of a few words, the gap between the two is no less than the light of a firefly trying to compete with the sun and moon!
Those who are granted titles can be called 'Martial Saints' and can lay the foundation for the 'True Sect'!
And only such an existence
Only then can the Martial Saint's Dharma Body be formed!

To become a master martial artist, one must pass through the three stages of Qi Sea, Wulou, and Longhu before having the opportunity to make the "ultimate leap," cultivate a title, and become an unparalleled giant in the upper three realms, truly making a name for oneself on this vast land!
From ancient times to the present, through nine dynasties and nine millennia, including the present-day Da Xuan.

Any disturbance in the realm involving battles or contests with heretics, immortals, celestial beings, saints, etc.

Only with the Martial Saint in charge can one be compared to those who have reached the ranks of Immortals, Heavenly Lords, Great Sages, and Arhats of the Pure Land!

Without a title, in the turmoil of a broken land, one would ultimately be a waste, only able to serve as a soldier or general among the vast array of immortal armor and divine weapons, fighting and battling, never deserving a prestigious position.

Hence the saying that all those who hold titles are like ants.

Wei Changkong was self-aware.

He is currently only at the peak of the Dragon-Tiger realm, a sixth-level martial artist, not even comparable to those at the 'pseudo-title' or 'pseudo-Martial Saint' realms.

What's more, to be compared face-to-face with a 'Martial Saint' who established the foundation of the True Sect and has his own title!?

That would be truly suicidal!
If he had that ability, he wouldn't be hanging around Jiangyin Prefecture long ago.

As for Wang Xuanyang, or the title of "Number One in Jiangyin"...
They could suppress and seize it with a flick of their fingers, so why would they need to be cautious and lie low for so many years!

'Tread, tap, tap.'

Xu Longxiang moved at a leisurely pace, as if strolling in a garden.

But in just a few breaths, they had already landed on the island and stood on the forging platform!
When that 'Primordial Dragon Elephant' truly arrives.
Wei Changkong's throat bobbed, feeling extremely dry.

All he wanted to know now was Ji Xiu, the most prominent disciple of the Heavenly Blade School.
Where exactly did he manage to befriend a Martial Saint, to the point that the Saint was willing to come in person and fight for him?
What a huge honor!
In all his years of life, Wei Changkong has only seen a handful of martial arts masters, and throughout the entire Jiangyin Prefecture, there is not a single one with a title!
Those with titles and surnames are all stationed in a prefecture, guarding the border and establishing their own sects and clans to prevent chaos. Why is there one here?

and many more!

This martial saint just said that his title is 'Dragon Elephant'!?

龙象
Upon thinking of this title, Wei Changkong suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Yue beside him.

Dragon Elephant Martial Saint!

Isn't that the peerless giant who founded the Dragon Elephant True Sect sixty years ago, and who is said to have come from 'True Martial Mountain'?
Isn't the person next to me the chief disciple of one of the three sect-protecting lineages of the Dragon Elephant True Sect?

How could he not recognize him!
Wei Changkong's gaze fell upon Jiang Yue, the true disciple of the Dragon Elephant True Sect.

But even this true disciple who broke through the four limits was numb.

He stared at the old martial saint who had come across the river like a pillar of strength, opened his mouth, and looked utterly bewildered.
"Grandmaster Dragon Elephant, why have you personally come to Jiangyin Prefecture?!"

boom!
Jiang Yue's words seemed to provide the best proof of Xu Longxiang's identity.

Wei Changkong felt dizzy and almost fainted.

It's true, it really is!

Dominating three prefectures and renowned in Dongcang, he is none other than Xu Longxiang, the legendary Martial Saint who has been said to have been in seclusion for sixty years and has only recently emerged from seclusion!

As the situation on the field changed, Chen He's muscles and blood gradually calmed down, and in no time, he returned to his former refined and easygoing appearance.

He looked at Wang Xuanyang with a complicated expression, who was glancing here and there with curiosity and clicking his tongue, then looked at Ji Xiu, hesitant to speak.

At this moment, Chen He had only one thought in his mind.

This disciple was taken in by my own junior brother, Duan.
Isn't he a bit too monstrous?

First, they brought back their long-lost master, 'Wang Xuanyang,' who was rumored to have perished at the Tomb of the Dismembered Warriors. But that wasn't all.

He remained completely silent.
They've gotten involved with the Dragon Elephant True Sect, the Sect's Martial Saint, located in Jiangyin Prefecture!?

Are those thighs a bit too thick?

In this regard.

Xu Longxiang's gaze was calm as he casually swept across the entire scene. He first glanced at Ji Xiu, and only after seeing that he was unharmed did his eyes settle on Jiang Yue and Wei Changkong.
"You were nominated by the third brother to compete for the position of the true successor of the 'Dragon Elephant Daoist'?"

"I remember you."

Jiang Yue was overjoyed and immediately bent down excitedly:
"Indeed, Patriarch Longxiang, my name is Jiang Yue."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Longxiang interrupted him:
"What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Xu Longxiang's slightly interrogative words, Jiang Yue's heart skipped a beat, and his mind raced.

Immediately, when this true disciple of the Dragon Elephant recalled Xu Longxiang's words, he pondered for a moment, and his eyes narrowed in shock:

"The Martial Saint Ancestor has been in seclusion for sixty years and has never been involved in worldly affairs. What's going on today?"

"Wait, could it be...?"

An uncontrollable, bold idea surged into Jiang Yue's mind.

So, without thinking, he glanced at Ji Xiu, who was deep in thought upon seeing Xu Longxiang arrive.

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

The Dragon Elephant Ancestor just reprimanded Wei Changkong, the head of the Purple Cloud Sect, and forcefully stood up for this kid, acting like a protective father. Could it be that...
Has he developed a fondness for talent and now wants to take on another precious apprentice?
That's absolutely unacceptable!

Jiang Yue's face twitched, and his heart seemed to be filled with turbulent waves.

Sixty years before the Dragon Elephant True Sect, Xu Longxiang, as the Martial Saint, never showed his face.

Therefore, all matters, large and small, are handled by the three lineage masters on their behalf.

Therefore, the competition for the top position in the "Three Lineages True Transmission" has always been fierce. With the emergence of the Martial Saint and the announcement of the reopening of the Daoist position, this situation has been pushed to its climax.

The three lineages of Dragon and Elephant each hold a part of the sect's most treasured inheritance, the "Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique."
However, according to the rules set by the Dragon Elephant Ancestor.

Only those who achieve the 'title' or inherit the 'Dao Child' can unify the three lineages, inherit all the ultimate techniques, and truly perfect this 'True Sect Level' secret martial art!
In order to gain recognition, obtain all the resources of the Dragon Elephant True Sect, and even the favor of the Martial Saint.

The chief disciples of the three lineages, such as Jiang Yue, have been running around trying to surpass the other two through various means.

But at this time, if this old martial saint wanted to take on a new disciple...
Didn't they all work for nothing?!

"I heard that the senior 'Ip Man Kong' perished in Jiangyin Prefecture, so I traveled a long way to come here to investigate."

"We are preparing to borrow the strength of various schools of thought to go to the countryside and counties to investigate, and try our best to find the remains of that senior and bury them in the sect."

"This Heavenly Blade School was originally a branch of the 'Ancestral Court of Blade Dao,' and its founder, Wang Xuanyang, was a prominent figure from the Ancestral Court of Blade Dao, and had a past relationship with Senior Ye Wenjiang!"

"Back then, the people from the ancestral court of swordsmanship led Senior Ip Man Jiang astray, ultimately causing his death and the dissipation of his cultivation. It just so happens that the sect leader of Zixia Sect is going to abolish this school, so I came here to take a look."

Jiang Yue pondered for a long time before responding to Xu Longxiang in an extremely tactful manner.

Immediately afterward, he looked at Ji Xiu, his gaze probing with a pointed undertone:

"Grandmaster Dragon Elephant, may I ask who this young man is, that he deserves your personal visit?"

Hearing Jiang Yue's cautious response, Xu Longxiang looked him up and down with a half-smile, making Jiang Yue feel uneasy.

At this moment, Xu Longxiang's calm and still eyes seemed to see through all his thoughts, making all his tricks nowhere to hide.

"If I were to say that he is my student, and also the 'Dragon and Elephant Dao Child' I have chosen for the future."

What do you think?

What do you think?
I don't think so!

But he didn't dare to say those words at all. Otherwise, if the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint slapped him to death the next moment and then labeled him as 'disobeying the patriarch,' he would have nowhere to cry.

But Jiang Yue couldn't remain indifferent!

Otherwise, if we followed the patriarch's wishes, we would be giving away the title of "True Dao Child" for nothing.
Once the news gets out, what difference will it make from his own refusal to 'compete for the Dao Child'?

What will the three lineage masters, the other two chief disciples vying for the top spot, and the thousands of Dragon Elephant disciples think then?
Jiang Yue felt a tightness in his chest, and his usual composure as a proud son of a major sect almost crumbled.

But he ignored the shocked expressions of the Zixia Sect members beside him and the few remaining members of the Heavenly Blade Sect, and simply looked at Xu Longxiang, forcing a smile:
"Master, shouldn't the position of Daoist Child be reserved for the best in the True Sect of our time, someone who can suppress the three lineages, dominate the three prefectures, and make a name for himself in Cangzhou?"

"As for this Junior Brother Ji..."

Jiang Yue gritted his teeth, pinched his nose, and forced himself to accept his identity as a 'student of the Martial Saint,' then spoke sincerely:

"He is still at the Qi Refining stage and has not even been awarded the title of 'Master of Qi Refining'. Let alone the chief of the three lineages, even some of the true disciples may not be able to match him."

"Master, please reconsider!"

Jiang Yue bent over.

The conversation between the two, when it reached Ji Xiu's ears, shocked him greatly, leaving him with a sense of 'unreality'.

So it turns out that the person who was invited to become his disciple in the mansion was not some old relic living in the Jiangyin mansion at all.

Instead, he is a genuine, titled Martial Saint, the True Ancestor of the True Sect!
He had casually mentioned before that he wanted to give him a 'title', so that's what he meant!

Zhenzong Daozi!

hiss.

Ji Xiu gasped.

This title carries immense weight.

He even couldn't help but wonder if his small frame could withstand it.
It is said that those who can be ranked as "True Sect Dao Sons" are all successors of the Martial Saint, and must at least be famous in a prefecture or vassal state. Some can even be nominated for the "Young Dragon Stele"!
That old man Xu Longxiang thinks too highly of him.

Could it be because I inherited the "Ye Long Xiang Shou" and received the legacy left by the late Ip Man Kong after his death in Anning County that I have a bias towards him?

What exactly happened back then that made this person so resentful and unable to forget it to this day?

This is a momentous event that could cause even the most outstanding disciples, those who hold high positions in the Dao, to be removed from the register of the Dao and die violently in a foreign land.

Ji Xiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
And at this time.

An arm suddenly grabbed him. Ji Xiu turned around and saw Wang Xuanyang giving him a mysterious look, pursing his lips.
"Kid, what's this all about?"

"Although the old man has forgotten some things, let me tell you, I used to be known as... what was I known as again?"

"But that's not important."

"What do you mean by 'authentic sect' or 'authentic sect'?"

He muttered to himself:

"never heard of that."

"But as long as you learn the 'Great Five Decays Heavenly Blade' from me and master the 'Reincarnation Heavenly Art,' you can suppress any True Sect with a flick of your finger. And once you reach that level, you will be able to..."

As he spoke, a look of confusion returned to Wang Xuanyang's eyes:
"What kind of thing is it again?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu was speechless. What changes had this grandmaster gone through to transform from such a 'banished immortal' into what he is today?

However, what was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

As the person closest to Wang Xuanyang, Chen He heard the conversation between the master and disciple clearly.

Immediately, he, who had been slightly worried about his master and unsure of the situation, suddenly widened his eyes in shock and turned around abruptly:

"After the five signs of decay, one will witness the three calamities, and in the cycle of reincarnation, one's true self will be fully revealed!"

"Master, you!?"

Suddenly, a light that Ji Xiu couldn't understand shone in Chen He's eyes.

seem
He now understood why Wang Xuanyang had become the way he was today.

He looked at Ji Xiu with a puzzled expression.

Chen He composed himself somewhat, gently shook his head, and looked utterly enigmatic.
"I'll tell you more after this is over."

"but"

That's all I can tell you.

"If your grandmaster isn't truly insane and talking nonsense..."

His eyes were filled with shock:

"So."

"Perhaps he is embarking on a 'path' that very, very few people have ever walked before."

"The end of that road represents the ultimate martial arts path, it represents..."

"Directly pointing to the immortals!"

He didn't speak these words aloud, but instead transmitted them to Ji Xiu's ears through his breath.

Call Ji Xiudun Time
A wave of emotion surged within me.
