Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Fahai put his hands together in prayer and uttered a Buddhist chant.

He gazed in the direction of the Zhang family with a complex expression, waiting for the beginning of that person's ascension to immortality, and also witnessing the end of this extraordinary genius.

Meanwhile, the crowd of onlookers was a diverse mix of people.

Some firmly believed in the existence of immortals and held their breath in awe, while others were skeptical and joined in the fun out of disbelief.

"Immortals? Ascending to immortality? Hmph, I think it's just a publicity stunt by the Zhang family!"

"That's right, this story sounds incredibly convincing. I'll see how the eldest son of the Zhang family tries to cover up this outrageous lie!"

Some shook their heads and chuckled, while others chuckled secretly. These men, women, and children, who did not believe in gods or ghosts, wore mocking expressions and their eyes were filled with doubt and contempt.

They simply didn't believe that the Zhang family had any so-called immortals.

……

Inside the Zhang family residence.

On an open space.

Su Chen stood there.

The robes fluttered slightly in the morning breeze.

He paused for a moment, then looked at his father Zhang Shanhai, his mother Xu, and others.

"Father, Mother, I'm about to ascend to heaven."

Zhang Shanhai's body stiffened.

Xu's fingers trembled slightly.

The day has finally come.

Madam Xu opened her mouth, her voice a little tight, and finally said, "Xuan'er... take good care of yourself when you get up there."

She didn't know what else to say.

I just felt a tightness in my throat.

Zhang Shanhai said with a mixture of reluctance and pride, "Xuan'er, you will always be your father's pride!"

Xiao Tao's eyes reddened.

Zhang Xing's feelings were very complicated. He kept his head down, staring at the stone slabs under his feet.

The courtyard was very quiet.

The area outside the courtyard was filled with the sounds of people.

Separated by a wall.

On one side is the human world, and on the other side are those who are about to ascend to heaven.

Under the gaze of everyone.

With a thought, Su Chen stopped suppressing his own energy.

next moment.

boom!

His long-dormant magical power suddenly surged, flowing like a torrent and circulating rapidly within his body.

They operate and converge wildly!

Gradually, the originally profound and solid magical power began to change.

In terms of magical power and cultivation, wisps of worldly aura were stripped away.

A more ethereal, pure, and otherworldly power slowly emerged within him.

at the same time.

Su Chen's physical body was also changing. His skin became more and more translucent, like ice and snow, and his aura became more and more pure, as graceful as a virgin.

The turbidity of the mortal world dissipated from his body in wisps, replaced by a faint fragrance and an air of otherworldly refinement!

In this gradual transformation, Su Chen, who was in a state of harmony with nature, immediately sensed the rejection from heaven and earth, as well as a faint sense of threat coming from above.

An invisible pressure came from all directions!

Su Chen subconsciously looked up.

Zhang Shanhai, Xu Shi, and the others subconsciously followed his gaze.

Outside of the Zhang family.

Countless onlookers also looked up almost simultaneously.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color!

The once clear morning sky suddenly darkened!

Thick, dark clouds surged in from nowhere, like an endless black sea spreading across the sky.

Thunder exploded.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Dense bolts of lightning danced through the dark clouds.

Silvery-white lightning tore through the darkness, like a giant dragon churning.

A heavy, deathly, and extremely oppressive atmosphere suddenly enveloped Guobei County.

The birdsong and barking of dogs ceased, and even the wind stopped.

Between heaven and earth, only the roar of thunder remained!

As dark clouds spread across the sky.

In just a short while, the entire Guobei County was plunged into darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

It was as if day had turned into night, and darkness had fallen!

In this oppressive and silent atmosphere.

The people of Guobei County cried out in alarm, their voices filled with fear and shock.

"What... what's going on?"

At this moment, the people from other counties who had come from afar were also dumbfounded, covering their mouths, almost unable to believe the scene before them.

Ning Caichen, pale-faced, asked in a trembling voice, "Hero Yan, this...this ascension to immortality...is it really that exaggerated?"

Yan Chixia's expression changed, and he said gravely, "This is bad! This is divine jealousy, a heavenly tribulation! That young brother is in danger!"

"What?!" Ning Caichen's face turned even paler upon hearing this.

This eldest son of the Zhang family helped him a lot. If it weren't for him, Xiaoqian wouldn't have been saved. If he could, he wouldn't want anything to happen to this eldest son of the Zhang family!

However, at this moment, there was nothing he could do but watch.

Ning Caichen's eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

Not far away.

Fahai sighed silently and said, "The Heavenly Intervention... has indeed arrived. This eldest son of the Zhang family... I'm afraid..."

He didn't think the eldest son of the Zhang family could get through this.

Among the dense crowd of onlookers were some knowledgeable Taoist practitioners.

As they exclaimed and murmured in surprise, the people of Guobei County also learned what had happened.

Heaven and earth are jealous, forbidding anyone from ascending to immortality?!

The eldest son of the Zhang family is in danger!

Boom boom boom!

The sky was dark, thick clouds rolled in the gale, and thunder roared.

The oppressive atmosphere pressed down on everyone's chest like a boulder, making it difficult for them to breathe.

In the darkness and breathless silence of the world.

Suddenly, a ray of bright light shone from deep within the Zhang family compound.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

Then, light surged out like water, slowly gathering into a soft yet undeniable halo of radiance.

A young man, radiant with light, slowly floated up from the Zhang family mansion.

His three thousand jet-black hair moved without wind, like threads of the night sky dancing in the light; his skin was as white as jade, faintly glowing, like moonlight reflecting on his body, or like solidified fat shining with light.

His features were exceptionally handsome, with a natural and refined quality. His eyes seemed both indifferent and detached, yet also compassionate towards all living beings, inspiring a sense of awe in those who looked upon him.

A wisp of pure and ethereal energy surrounded him, and wherever it passed, the air became pure and ethereal. In an instant, the surroundings shone with radiance and were enveloped in a mystical aura because of him.

A faint halo of light floated out from behind the boy's head, neither blazing nor intense, but pure and gentle, like the bright moon in the sky.

Bathed in the light of the bright moon, his figure appeared even more ethereal and untouched by worldly dust, as if he had transcended the mundane and stood apart from humanity.

The bright moonlight shone down, enveloping everyone, every roof tile, and every ancient tree.

Everything around was bathed in a bright, clear light, and even the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

At this moment, the entire Guobei County seemed to stand still, time seemed to stretch out, and everyone's eyes were focused on the slowly rising boy.

Originally, no one believed that there were immortals in Guobei County. They thought it was just a rumor and a hoax by the eldest son of the Zhang family. Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, everyone, whether they were the people of Guobei County, people from other counties and government offices, government officials, or Ning Caichen and his group, was stunned.

Everyone stared blankly at the ethereal figure in the sky, which resembled a moon goddess.
