Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

On Jin'ao Island.

Holding the [Royal Power Blade] in his hand and wielding the Primordial Dao Talisman, Ji Xiu, having preemptively drawn upon this ultimate martial art of the Martial Saint, watched in astonishment as he saw himself able to manipulate spiritual energy and subtly influence celestial phenomena after entering the Three Tribulations of Reincarnation.

"Even if a martial artist cultivates to the point of becoming a master of Qi Sea, he cannot influence or affect the world."

"Only by reaching the level of a pseudo-Martial Saint or even a Martial Saint can one use the true meaning of the title to ride the wind and transform the qi sea atmosphere and dragon and tiger treasure image that one has cultivated and condensed into a killing move to attack the enemy."

"This is also the mark of 'titled martial arts'."

"Without achieving a titled martial art, it's extremely difficult to possess such a skill!"

"But this 'Martial Saint's Ultimate Skill' undergoes three tribulations, which is indeed a divine killing move that can only be comprehended by those at the title level."

"Even though I've only just begun to understand the basics and have only mastered one move of the 'Thunder Pivot' calamity blade, and haven't yet mastered the two 'Wind and Fire' killing moves that have evolved from it, I can still rely on this foundation and the royal power I hold."

Ji Xiu clenched the royal power, feeling the five divine treasures within his body continuously circulating blood energy and transforming true energy, making him feel as if he were in a furnace.
With a deep breath, and as the fundamental profound technique for forging the Qi Sea, 'True Martial Demon Slayer,' was activated, the blade roared like a dragon. With a single slash, the blade surface crackled with purple lightning and thunder, transforming into a ferocious dragon that roared out, splitting the vast river in front of him ten feet apart!

At this time.

Xu Longxiang's voice boomed like muffled thunder, and the Martial Saint's long roar drowned out the gloomy sky, slamming the table again and again.

When it reached Ji Xiu's ears
He merely raised an eyebrow and glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw that muscular and bony figure, as if supporting the universe—a colossal ancestor!
Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique!

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu perked up, his eyes instantly brightening!
A day earlier, Xu Longxiang claimed that he was preparing for his physical transformation and breakthrough in the 'Flawless' school of thought, seeking resources and provisions.

So he left the East Sea early, not knowing what he was looking for.

Unexpectedly, just as he had completed the Martial Saint's ultimate technique and acquired a powerful killing move, his grandmaster arrived at Jin'ao Island at the perfect moment, becoming the Heavenly Blade True Sect.

What a coincidence!
With two pieces of good news at hand, Ji Xiu was overjoyed.

Now he has obtained the title of "Master of Arts".

If one could further cultivate this method of transforming the soul, one's physical body would be flawless and complete. After nine transformations, it would even be 'neither pure nor defiled, neither increasing nor decreasing,' comparable to the nascent form of an Arhat's golden body in Buddhism and Taoism.
How could this not greatly boost Ji Xiu's confidence?
"I have heard that Xie Wen, the next heir of the Jade Universe Xie Clan and a direct descendant of the legitimate line, is already seeking to become a 'Young Martial Saint' and be ranked first among the young dragons on the Stele of the Rising Dragon."

"I wonder if, if I were to complete the Nine Transformations and transform into a dragon and tiger, and then wield royal power again, I would be able to hold my own?"

Recalling Xiao Mingli's bright and beautiful eyes from the other day, Ji Xiu closed his eyes and inexplicably remembered them, while a surge of resentment welled up in his heart.

Who is Xie Wen? He hasn't even shown his face yet, but he wants to make others bow down.

Although Ji Xiu did not respond to Xiao Mingli's words, "We are husband and wife since we were young, and we will never doubt each other until we grow old together."

But the woman's spirited and radiant beauty that day was deeply imprinted in his heart.

As a result, after Ji Xiu made great progress in martial arts, his competitive spirit was immediately aroused. He wanted to compete with Xie Wen, the eldest son of the Yu Huan Xie family, who had forced a marriage agreement and made the Beicang Marquis's family bow down and willingly serve him!
Having mastered the ultimate martial arts technique, Ji Xiu was filled with excitement.

The Great Xuan has existed for over nine hundred years, and now he is the true Daoist disciple, a great and orthodox successor from a previous generation, making his identity extraordinary.

Although based in Jiangyin Prefecture, its vision has long since extended to Beicang, and it is confident in standing tall among the 'Beicang Prefecture' military garrisons.

Some secrets, as well as the stories about the Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars and the Great Mystery Records, were no longer secrets to Ji Xiu.

That's why Ji Xiu heard about it.

It is said that the period from a hundred years ago to the present day, the era in which he lived, is known as the 'Golden Age'.

The number of martial arts prodigies and outstanding talents emerging from various schools, lineages, and factions is unprecedented, like an explosive surge compared to the past few hundred years!

Normally, one might only see a so-called "young martial saint" or someone with the potential to become a "young martial saint" once every hundred years.
This generation of emerging dragon steles has produced several outstanding ones, enough to rival the brilliance of the heretical sects!

Legend has it that someone once said!

The quality of contemporary martial artists is even comparable to that of the early days of the Great Xuan Dynasty, when "ten ancestors stood side by side and nine clans vied for the throne"!

If it weren't for the millennium hurdle, the impending 'Yangjiu Great Calamity' at the end of the nine dynasties, when all the heavens were about to be unified, and this generation of warriors had to grow up.
It is enough to quell the chaos of the world's gates, and to bring peace and tranquility to the thirty-six vassal states, the Central Plains, and the capital city!
The young warriors who were born in the same era as these figures were unfortunate.

But for Ji Xiu, who holds the Primordial Dao Register...
Fortunately!

"For example, there's the contemporary martial arts master known as 'Number One in Weapons' at Jiangnan Sword Mountain, and the True Martial Daoist, hailed as 'Unrivaled and Unrivaled in This Era' and 'Child Dragon Stele Leader' at True Martial Mountain."

"I really want to see what these top figures of the Great Xuan Dynasty are like!"

"This era truly boasts countless talents!"

boom!
As he was still thinking to himself, Xu Longxiang had already approached the shore of Jin'ao Island in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, neither of his hands was idle. One hand held up a blood-soaked black dragon corpse, while the other hand dragged a dragon tail that dared not move at all. He swung it straight onto the shore, causing the mountain to collapse and rocks to fly everywhere!

At the same time, he laughed heartily:

"The Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique requires one to bathe in 'different blood' to cleanse and refine one's major acupoints and internal organs, washing them again and again before it can be mastered."

"Each transformation doubles a martial artist's strength, and after nine transformations, it becomes tenfold. In an instant, they can break through the five limits and become comparable to a 'young god-demon'!"

"It's a pity that we have very few native exotic species in our Great Xuan. The treasure deer that you brought from the Earth Dragon Cave in Anning County and is now being raised in the medicine shop, which is expected to be promoted to 'auspicious' in the future, looks alright, but it's not enough."

"Grandmaster, all I can do is travel to the Eastern Canghai Sea to slay dragons and hunt serpents for you, and collect their blood for my use!"

"Fortunately, we were lucky. Halfway there, we saw two dragons fighting in front of a water spirit cave. We easily killed one and captured the other alive."

"I'll bring it back just in time, then I'll dissect its tendons and bones, and cook it in a pot of 'Dragon Soup' for you. Swallow it, and it will strengthen your internal organs."

"Regenerating blood, refining both internal and external aspects, circulating qi and blood, forming the strength of a dragon and an elephant, just in time for a metamorphosis!"

Ji Xiu was greatly shocked to see Xu Longxiang's effortless performance.

Set sail and slay dragons and hunt serpents!

The Eastern Sea is boundless and vast, with the 'Water Lord's Palace' created by the White Dragon Lord as its most revered place. Numerous dragon species and their descendants reside there, and most of them possess bloodlines and lineage.

Killing a few for no reason could attract the attention of powerful, long-established dragons, or even dragon descendants.
Wouldn't that just cause more trouble for our grandmaster?

For a moment, Ji Xiu felt both moved and ashamed.

He really was born to be a disciple of the Daoting Sect. Starting from his grandmaster Wang Xuanyang, going back three generations, whether it was his master Duan Chenzhou or himself, none of them had ever been without causing trouble.

If someone else's fate is involved, even if you've lived peacefully for decades, you'll never have peace.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu recalled the 'regret' that Xu Longxiang had mentioned before, which was leaving Zhenwu Mountain and vowing to one day lead his junior disciples to fight on the Zhenwu Xuantan, dominate the present generation, and question those old relics. So he secretly made up his mind.

Even that so-called True Martial Daoist, who once wrote inscriptions in Baiyujing, crossed the Outer Dao Heaven, ranked among the leaders of the fledgling dragons, and claimed to have 'never been defeated in his life'.
I will avenge my ancestor, the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster, in the future!

"Master Ji, Master Ji!"

"Spare my life!"

Uh?
Ji Xiucai stepped forward to chat with Xu Longxiang, wanting to inquire about his well-being, but when he heard this familiar title, he was suddenly stunned.

The employer.

He hadn't heard that title in a long time.

Only the elderly people from the Anning County period would refer to him as "Master".

So Ji Xiu looked down and sure enough, he saw the large black dragon that Xu Longxiang had grabbed by the dragon's tail and flung ashore, trembling with fear and barely daring to breathe.
It was none other than 'Cangming Jun', who had originally been ordered by Bai Shuo to follow him and had defected from the fishing guild!
But didn't this giant dragon disappear without a trace some time ago?
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes and touched the 'Azure Dragon Core Pendant' at his waist.

It was during the time that Cangmingjun disappeared that Bai Shuo inexplicably learned about his entanglement with Xiao Mingli when he stepped into the 'Impermanent Realm of All Laws'.

Looking back now, it was probably Cangming Jun who delivered the message.

Thinking this, Ji Xiu deliberately put on a stern face and tugged at his black scales:

"You secretly reported my entanglement with Xiao Shinu to Bai Shaojun?" Cangming Jun lay on the ground, groaning and whimpering, on the verge of tears.

What a pity.

He was originally ordered by Bai Shuo Shaojun to report the current situation of Ji Dongjia to her. After delivering the letter, he thought it over and over again and decided that Ji Xiu had a bright future, so he decided to stay under Ji Xiu's command and obey orders.

But the women in Shui Jun's own palace, like a paradise of gentle pleasures and a tomb for heroes, really made him linger for quite some time, which is why he stayed for so long.

Just as he had finally made up his mind to turn back, he encountered Xu Longxiang, whom he had met briefly before.

When Ji Xiu rode him back to Anning County from Jiangyin Prefecture, the old man had coveted his dragon blood and bones, so Cangming Jun avoided him like the plague.

Even so, Xu Longxiang still noticed it from afar.

Although he has the body of a dragon, he can subdue ordinary people.

However, when the Martial Saint hunted him down, capturing him was as easy as capturing a chick; he couldn't escape his clutches, and he was a sure thing every time he caught him.

When Cangming Jun was directly manipulated and captured by Xu Longxiang, he was dragged by the dragon's tail. He did try to speak up, wanting to "build a relationship" with Xu Longxiang and get involved with Ji Xiu.

But this old man is forgetful; he's long forgotten about that one meeting!
In particular, when Xu Longxiang heard that he dared to mention his own good grand-disciple, he immediately glared angrily:

"You little dragon, you actually know the purpose of my trip?"

"Don't spout nonsense. You and my disciple's black dragon mount share the same bloodline and are both pitch black. How could I possibly tell if you're real or not?"

"Furthermore, that little dragon is probably still in Jiangyin Prefecture, serving under my grand-disciple. How could he be as carefree as you are?"

"You must have gotten this information from somewhere and are deliberately trying to deceive me!"

"If I let you go back, and you make things difficult for my good grand-disciple in the future, wouldn't that just add another calamity to his life for no reason?"

"If you dare say another word, I'll skin you alive right now!"

After saying that, he slapped his own dragon head, almost knocking Cangming Jun unconscious.

After a long and bumpy journey, he finally arrived at Jin'ao Island and was moved to tears when he saw his 'familiar face'.

But upon hearing Ji Xiu's question, his massive dragon body stiffened, realizing that his scheme had been exposed, and he immediately burst into tears.

"Boss, I... I was forced into it!"

"Moreover, Young Master Bai Shuo intended to keep me in the Water Lord's Palace, but I, Little Jiao, am grateful for my master's kindness and, after much effort, finally escaped from the dragon's den and tiger's lair, all for the sake of serving my master again."

"I just happened to run into the old master. Master, you must explain to him quickly. I don't want to end up like this!"

Cangmingjun looked at the other black dragon beside him, whose aura had been stronger than his own when it was alive, and now it was dead peacefully, and couldn't help but shudder.

Xu Longxiang, however, looked suspicious.
"Ok?"

"Which little dragon is this one that's been following you around?"

"Damn, what if the blood of this one dragon isn't enough, and all its dragon tendons, bones, and flesh can't be used to make a single 'Great Dragon Soup'?"

"Wouldn't that delay my good disciple's cultivation?"

"Why don't we just kill it? Dragon seedlings are hard to find. If we go any deeper, we'll inevitably offend the old monster of the Upper Water Lord's Mansion, which would be a waste of time and effort."

Seeing Xu Longxiang sharpening his knife, Cangming Jun was scared half to death.

Fortunately, Ji Xiu was only trying to scare him. Considering that Cangming Jun had helped him a lot before, Ji Xiu stepped forward at the right time and pulled back the fierce-looking Xu Longxiang:
"Sigh, Grandmaster, forget it."

“When I entered the ‘Primordial Palace of Impermanence,’ you had already consumed a ‘Heavenly Herb’ before the outside world could see its traces through the celestial barrier.”

"Most of the medicinal properties are still contained within my body."

"This one dragon species should be more than enough."

"Considering that this little dragon has at least worked hard, even if it hasn't done anything meritorious, let's spare its life."

Upon hearing this, Cangming Jun felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He immediately sat up and kowtowed repeatedly to Ji Xiu.

Xu Longxiang's eyes initially showed disappointment, but upon hearing Ji Xiu's words, his eyes lit up again:
"Oh? The medicinal properties of rare herbs?"

He quickly reached out and placed his hand on Ji Xiu's arm, carefully examining him with his inner energy before laughing and patting Ji Xiu's shoulder.
"You've got some really good luck, kid!"

“You previously granted that precious herb to the young lady of the Xiao family. Although she is a true disciple of Tianchi and the daughter of a Marquis, and is an excellent prospect, it is still very painful for me to give up a precious herb as a price.”

"But if you have already consumed one, I will be at ease."

Having said that, he pulled a page of ancient leather scripture from his sleeve:
"Here, here you go."

Ji Xiu accepted it immediately, and the 'Primordial Dao Register' then provided feedback:
[The one who bestowed the talisman touched upon the Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Profound Technique, capable of breaking through the five limits and undergoing nine transformations into gods and demons!]

[Advance payments are possible; using this as a foundation, advancement will be flawless, leading to mastery of the sect!]

This is the Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique!?

"Don't underestimate it. This is a secret treasure from a previous dynasty that my elder brother found in ancient ruins. It is an ancient martial arts manual buried by the great human immortal dynasty before the Great Xuan Dynasty!"

"The writing on this is called 'Great Sanskrit,' a secret text recorded in the Great Brahma Dynasty before the Great Mystery. You don't recognize it, but I'll teach you later."

"Alas, your Grandmaster Wang Xuanyang has arrived. It's just in time to have him open the treasure vault of your Heavenly Blade True Sect and pick out a few treasures from the family fortune I borrowed when I attacked the Heavenly Water Sword Sect and the Gao Clan of Danshan. With those dragon tendons and bones, we can brew a 'Great Dragon Soup'!"

As Wang Xuanyang, Chen Sanjiu, and other members of the Heavenly Blade True Sect approached, Xu Longxiang slowly spoke to Ji Xiu, and then strode in.

However, Ji Xiu, holding the leather scripture that recorded the 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Mystic Art,' stood motionless as if in deep meditation.

“You lad, I know you used to be very insightful, but these ancient Sanskrit characters have been lost since the rise of various demons at the end of the Sanskrit era. In this era, very few people recognize them.”

"Even I, an old man, had to verify many unorthodox methods and study them for many years before I could understand the contents of this book to a great extent, and based on this, I established the Dragon Elephant lineage."

"So even if you have extraordinary comprehension, if you don't recognize it at all, how could you possibly recognize it? Hmm!?"

Click click
Suddenly.

Behind Xu Longxiang, a series of trembling sounds suddenly arose, and this sound came from someone who had experienced the flawless transformation of the dragon-elephant.
Xu Longxiang was naturally very familiar with him!

In that instant, his eyes flashed with divine light, and he turned around sharply. In just a moment, his gaze penetrated Ji Xiu's body, and he could see his internal organs and every tendon clearly!

That's why he was able to see it clearly.
The boy is using the secret text recorded in ancient Sanskrit to transform his physical body!

As a result, all 108,000 pores opened up, swallowing the spiritual energy of Jin'ao Island, making the physical body bright and translucent, radiating a precious light, and emitting a lustrous glow stimulated by the spiritual energy.
It arises spontaneously!

In Xu Longxiang's eyes, Ji Xiu was spontaneously undergoing his first 'transformation'!
Everything seemed to be the work of nature, a natural and effortless process!

Then, less than a moment later.

It was as if a dragon or elephant was humming, born from its own body!
When the boy opened his eyes again, they shone with divine light.
His body seemed to be tightly bound by a blue dragon and a wild elephant!
When united, they become one, forming the strength of dragons and elephants!
This also symbolizes and signifies
From this day forward, Ji Xiu breaks through the four limitations and enters the fifth major stage of martial arts.

No leaks, master level of the school!
They are capable enough to stand proudly in a prefecture and establish their own school of thought on their own!
[The ordained master will receive the 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique' in advance!]

[Only after nine transformations of the physical body, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither pure nor defiled, and without any leakage throughout the body, can one become a dragon or tiger!]

Progress: (1/900)!

This scene left Xu Longxiang speechless for a long time.

Just as Ji Xiu broke through to the 'Master of a School' level.
The origins and details of Jiangyin Prefecture began to spread rapidly throughout the land.
In particular, when the "Young Dragon Stele," which has remained unchanged for a long time and is located in the Jade Capital of the Central Plains, encompassing the destiny of the "Great Mysterious Heaven" and which can only be ascended by those who are truly worthy of the title, a line of names, which was originally unknown, suddenly appeared!
In an instant, the thirty-six prefectures and vassal states of the Great Xuan Central Plains, Jiangnan, Qilu, and the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River were counted!

A storm is brewing! (End of Chapter)
