The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

In other words, from this moment on, his comprehension is comparable to that of ancient sages!

A familiar cool sensation lingered in his mind and soul, cleansing his consciousness.

In a daze, Su Chen saw some scenes.

Far behind him, several extraordinary figures, each a dragon among men, stood in the shadows.

And in the dim, indistinct distance ahead stood one mysterious figure after another.

The figures of sages such as Zhuangzi and Liezi were prominently displayed.

Originally, because there was still some distance between him and these sages, he was still quite far away and could only vaguely see their backs.

But at that moment, his figure instantly moved forward, arriving beside them, almost side by side.

Although he was only at the bottom, his comprehension was at the level of an ancient sage!

This alone is enough to transcend the mundane, surpass countless ordinary people, and leave behind a legendary legacy in history!

In a daze, Su Chen's gaze unconsciously drifted further ahead.

"What lies beyond the realm of the born saint?"

He was curious and puzzled.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, straining to see something.

At first, he saw nothing, but after observing carefully for a while, he vaguely saw something.

In a daze, he seemed to see an old man with white hair and beard riding a blue ox, heading west out of Hangu Pass during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Furthermore, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they were in India and India.

Clad in a kasaya, he sat upright on a lotus platform, his face serene and compassionate, his eyes lowered as if observing a venerable monk. He seemed to be observing the disciples of the monastery...

Besides them, he also saw other figures.

However, because of the great distance, he did not recognize him.

Looking at these figures, Su Chen's face showed surprise.

"What is this?"

"Laozi? Shakyamuni?"

"A saint?"

In that instant, he was somewhat dazed.

If Zhuangzi and his ilk were born sages, then above them are the saints like Laozi and Shakyamuni!

It can only be said that there are differences even among those who are born sages!

Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni were saints at an even higher level!

Noticing this, Su Chen's face showed anticipation and longing.

Even the innate wisdom of a sage is already quite strong, so what about wisdom comparable to that of a saint?

Looking at his 1009 points of comprehension, Su Chen was filled with anticipation.

Although my current level of understanding is only at the bottom among those born sages, if I continue to improve, things might change!

Su Chen had not forgotten that once his magical power and cultivation reached ten thousand years, he would complete his final transformation and break through to the realm of a True Person, which would greatly increase his lifespan.

In time, your comprehension will increase significantly!

"By then, will it be possible for my comprehension to reach the level of a sage?"

Su Chen was curious and looked forward to a breakthrough even more.

Filled with anticipation, and amidst the refreshing sensation in his mind, he quickly entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

In a state of oneness with nature and harmony between humanity and nature, he comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, as well as the method to forcibly break through to the level of a True Person.

With innate sage-level comprehension and the blessing of a state of sudden enlightenment.

The so-called oppression and shackles of heaven and earth were no longer a difficulty for him.

He gradually understood how to break through.

Boom!

The magical power within Su Chen's body surged violently, rapidly gathering together and transforming into a kind of ethereal magical power imbued with an immortal aura.

Even his body exuded a faint, ethereal fragrance.

It seems that in the next second, he will ascend to immortality!

However, at that very moment, in the harmony between heaven and man, he also sensed the barrenness and weakness of heaven and earth, as well as a subtle sense of rejection.

It was as if, once he underwent a complete transformation, the world would begin to reject him and force him to leave this place!

Upon realizing this, Su Chen's spirits lifted, and he forcibly pulled himself out of his breakthrough state.

Soon, the ethereal fragrance emanating from his body and his state of perfect harmony with nature vanished, and even the subtle transformation of his magical power ceased.

Su Chen murmured, "It's not the right time yet..."

Aside from the fact that the Zhang family's affairs haven't been resolved yet, it wouldn't be good to leave now, and the breathing technique isn't yet perfected!

He planned to use this time to first master the art of breathing techniques.

His attention immediately turned to the incantations of the breathing technique.

At first, he found the Cloud Record Daoist text obscure, as if it were a book written in the heavens.

At this moment, just by glancing at the Cloud Record Dao Text of the Breathing Technique, he had a feeling of enlightenment, a divine understanding, and a gradual approach to perfection.

Su Chen wasn't too surprised by this situation.

The Cloud Register Dao Script was created by the ancient sages of the Canglan Realm.

His comprehension was already comparable to that of these ancient sages, so comprehending the Cloud Record Dao Text was no longer difficult for him.

Su Chen felt that it would only take him about half a month to fully comprehend the Cloud Cage Dao Text of this breathing technique.

At that time, you will be able to practice this breathing technique and open up a perfect inner world!

Su Chen's lips curled up slightly.

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

Although his breakthrough was interrupted, he still had the feeling that he could break through at any time.

He can break through to a higher level at any time if he wants!

"Next, we need to deal with the Zhang family's affairs..."

Once everything is settled, it will be time for him to ascend to heaven!

As Su Chen murmured to himself, his gaze turned complicatedly to the outside of the east wing, towards Xiao Tao, his father Zhang Shan Hai, his mother Xu Shi, his younger brother Zhang Xing, and others in the Zhang family mansion.

Chapter 54 Imminent Ascension

Looking at his father Zhang Shanhai, mother Xu, younger brother Zhang Xing, and others in the Zhang family mansion outside the east wing, Su Chen's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

For a moment, he was unsure how to explain it to them.

After a long pause, he sighed, "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. First, I'll try to understand the breathing technique..."

……

Time slowly passed.

Three days later.

early morning.

At the foot of Jinshan Mountain, the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

A cool, damp breeze blew slowly from the foot of the mountain, carrying a faint, salty smell, as it swept across the stone steps and forest.

Looking into the distance, Jinshan Mountain stands majestically. Although its terrain is not steep, it has a sense of weight and stability.

The ancient temple is hidden halfway up the mountain.

The vermilion gate is mottled and faded, and the three gilded characters of Jinshan Temple on it have been worn dark by the years, but still exude solemnity and reverence.

The stone steps outside the temple wind upwards, flanked by towering pines and cypresses. The scent of incense mingles with the damp air, making one's mind tense and unconsciously become solemn.

At the foot of Jinshan.

Xu Zhen, Zhao Liuzi, Constable Feng, and four other Black Tiger Gang members, slightly out of breath, slowly made their way up the mountain.

Soon, they finally stepped onto the last set of stone steps.

The group had been traveling for days and was exhausted. Their clothes were covered in dust, their boots were muddy, and their faces showed signs of fatigue.

The old scar on Xu Zhen's face looked even more ferocious in the morning light, but he unconsciously restrained his fierceness and looked towards the gate of Jinshan Temple.

"Master Xu, this is it!" Zhao Liuzi said in a low voice, his tone unusually tense.

Looking at the gate of Jinshan Temple in front of him, Officer Feng's eyes were full of anticipation.

Soon, they will be able to see Master Fahai and bring that wicked eldest son of the Zhang family to justice!

Since it was early morning, the gates of Jinshan Temple were not yet open.

Inside Jinshan Temple, the faint sound of wooden fish drums, one after another, brings a strange sense of peace.

The group exchanged glances, and finally, Officer Feng stepped forward and knocked on the mountain gate.

"Dong dong dong..."

The heavy wooden door trembled, the echo reverberating through the mountains.

A moment later, the mountain gate creaked open and was pushed open a crack from the inside.

A young monk dressed in a gray robe poked his head out, glanced at the group, and asked, "Gentlemen, what brings you to Jinshan Temple?"

Xu Zhen stepped forward, about to speak, but the moment his fierce expression appeared on his face, the young monk subconsciously took a half step back.

Seeing this, Officer Feng quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master, please don't be offended. We have no intention of causing trouble!"

"A great event has occurred in my hometown of Guobei County, and I have come here specifically to seek an audience with Master Fahai!"

"Guobei County? Something big?" The young monk was taken aback, his gaze immediately becoming more serious.

Zhao Liuzi said urgently, "That's right, an extremely powerful demon has appeared in our Guobei County, harming people's lives. Even the highly respected Taoist priests are helpless and can only come to ask Master Fahai for help!"

"Demons?" The young monk's expression changed drastically, and he quickly put his hands together in a gesture of respect, saying, "Please wait a moment, everyone."

After saying this, he closed the mountain gate and hurriedly sent word inside the temple.

Xu Zhen and his group stood outside the mountain gate, waiting quietly.

Before long, the mountain gate opened again.

This time, however, more than one person came out.

Two elderly monks walked out one after the other, their gazes steady. When they saw the people clearly, they revealed a hint of scrutiny.

"Which one of you has come to report this matter?" one of the old monks asked.

Officer Feng immediately stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.

The old monk's expression turned serious. He exchanged a glance with his companion and said, "Follow me."

The group was led into the temple.

The moment you step through the temple gate, the aroma of incense fills the air. The halls are layered, ancient bells hang high, and Buddha statues stand solemnly.

Finally, they were taken to a side hall.

Incense smoke wafted gently in the hall.

A monk was sitting upright on a yellow prayer mat.

He wore an old-fashioned cassock, his eyes were lowered, and his expression was serene. He seemed ordinary, but at first glance, no one dared to be disrespectful in the slightest.

"Master Fahai."

The old monk who was leading the way bowed softly.

Is this the old monk Fahai?!
