Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 78: 10960 Points of Comprehension! (Two Chapters Combined)

The summit of the Eighty-Nine Peaks.

Outside a wooden house, Gu Jia, dressed in a blue silk dress that swayed gently in the wind, with delicate features and a cool demeanor, asked coldly, "How is that person?"

Before her stood Li Luo, a burly man with a fierce face, and Wang Chong, a man with a cold expression, respectfully.

Hearing Senior Sister Gu Jia's question, Li Luo replied sarcastically, "Senior Sister Gu, that kid is hiding at home, probably studying breathing techniques, trying to absorb qi and become a cultivator!"

"Overestimating yourself!" Wang Chong mocked.

Gu Jia nodded with an icy expression, her eyes growing even colder, and said indifferently, "You all continue to keep an eye on him."

"Once I've mastered the basics of breathing techniques and successfully gathered Qi in half a month, I'll naturally descend the mountain and punish this guy!"

The more Gu Jia thought about it, the colder her eyes became.

How dare a lowly disciple, an ant, living at the foot of the mountain, offend her?

She lives on the Eighty-Nine Peaks Mountain, one of the thirteen people!

How dare a lowly, talentless servant disciple from the foot of a mountain!

Once she has successfully absorbed the Qi, she will personally descend the mountain to teach this disciple a lesson and make an example of him!

Gu Jia thought to herself indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo and Wang Chong, who were standing nearby, immediately brightened up.

The thought of getting revenge on that guy so soon, and seeing Gu Jia coldly strike while he screamed and wailed in agony, filled them with excitement, anticipation, and a strange sense of satisfaction.

Just when they were expecting it.

At the foot of the Eighty-Nine Peaks Mountain.

Inside the wooden house.

Su Chen was holding the Daoist scripture, immersed in it.

-

The golden sun sets in the sky, and the moon rabbit rises.

When he had finished comprehending the 737 volumes of Daoist teachings.

A notification sound rang in his ears.

[Completed 737 volumes of Taoist scriptures, Comprehension +737]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 8000 (Born Sage, Once in Ten Thousand Years)]

Su Chen regained consciousness.

Looking at his comprehension, which had already reached eight thousand but hadn't changed much, Su Chen shook his head slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that to transform comprehension into the Saint level, one needs more than ten thousand points of comprehension."

With anticipation, he closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in the Taoist scriptures.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, another eight days have passed.

It was noon that day.

Su Chen was immersed in the Taoist scriptures.

Just as he finished comprehending the 2,737th volume of the Daoist scripture.

Suddenly, a notification sound rang in his ears.

[Completed 2737 volumes of Taoist scriptures, Comprehension +2737]

Upon hearing this prompt, Su Chen was instantly jolted, abandoning his comprehending of the Daoist scriptures.

His gaze immediately fell upon the control panel.

At this moment, the comprehension displayed on the panel had changed!

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 10000 (Sage and Worthy, Unparalleled Throughout History)]

Looking at the information on the panel, Su Chen was startled.

"Ten thousand points of comprehension?"

"Awe-inspiring throughout history? A supreme sage?!"

"Is this the level achieved with 10,000 points of comprehension?"

Su Chen pondered.

If we're talking about naturally born sages, referring to figures like Zhuangzi who were near-sages, then we're talking about supreme sages like Laozi and Shakyamuni who reached the pinnacle of sainthood!

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

As if confirming his guess, Su Chen was in a daze, vaguely seeing some scenes.

Zhuangzi and many other sages stood far behind him, while in front of him, in the distance, were Laozi, Shakyamuni, and other saints.

Ahead, an old man with white hair and beard slowly rode a blue ox.

A man dressed in a kasaya, sitting upright on a lotus platform, with a kind and serene face, is instructing his disciples below.

Previously, Su Chen could only watch their backs from afar.

But at that moment, he suddenly darted forward and appeared not far behind them!

Su Chen saw their figures very clearly.

It can be said that he has been ranked alongside them as a saint!

Although he was only at the very back, and was still some distance from Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni and others who were further ahead, he was still worthy of being called a supreme sage!

At least in terms of comprehension, that's the case!

"Is this the level of enlightenment of a sage or saint?"

Looking at the Daoist scripture in his hand, Su Chen's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light.

If he needed to think about the Taoist scriptures before, now he only needed a casual glance to understand their meaning intuitively.

Not only that, but countless inspirations also arise while watching.

Su Chen had a feeling that he could create a completely new Daoist scripture with just a little thought.

It has reached the level of creating laws!

"but----"

"Um?

'

Su Chen looked puzzled.

Further ahead, he could still see some blurry, mystical figures.

Even the level of comprehension attained by sages and saints is not the limit?!

Before he could think any further, under the cool sensation in his mind, Su Chen unknowingly fell into a state of enlightenment.

His attention was focused on the light-footed skill of flying on grass.

Now, the skill of "flying over grass" can no longer meet his needs and has become a weakness.

In an instant, the various mysteries of light-footed flying over grass were constantly analyzed in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, a notification sounded.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary; you grasped the Daoist principle of shrinking the earth to an inch while flying over grass."

Soon, under Su Chen's astonishing comprehension at the level of a supreme sage, a series of prompts sounded.

[Shrinking the Earth to an Inch: Beginner Level, Comprehension +30]

[Shrinking Earth to an Inch: Minor Success, Comprehension +60]

[Shrinking Earth to an Inch Mastery, Comprehension +90]

[Shrinking Earth to an Inch Perfection, Comprehension +120]

Su Chen did not stop, focusing his attention on the perfected Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, Burning Tribulation Yin Fire, and Soul-Separating Wind Dao Techniques.

Soon, a series of notification sounds rang out.

[Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Perfected, Comprehension +120]

[Burning Yin Fire Perfection, Comprehension +120]

[Soul-Separating Wind Technique Perfected, Comprehension +120]

Su Chen did not stop. Taking advantage of the remaining time, he focused his attention on the Tiger-Taming Fist and the Five Animal Frolics.

The mysteries of the Tiger-Taming Fist and the Five Animal Frolics flashed through his mind.

Finally, when he unleashed a technique, a method that could summon dragons and tigers to assist him slowly formed in his mind.

A notification sounded.

"You possess extraordinary comprehension, having grasped the Daoist principles of subduing dragons and tigers from the Tiger-Taming Fist and the Five Animal Frolics."

[Introduction to Subduing Dragons and Tigers, Comprehension +30]

[Minor Success in Subduing Dragons and Tigers, Comprehension +60]

[Mastery of Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming, Comprehension +90]

[Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Perfected, Comprehension +120]

Only then did the cool sensation in Su Chen's mind gradually disappear, and he finally came back to his senses from his epiphany.

Looking at the drastically changed panel, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Name: Su Chen (18 years old)

Lifespan: 138 years

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 10960 (Sage and Worthy, Unparalleled Throughout History)]

[Cultivation Techniques: Qingfeng Sword Technique (100% Perfection), Qingxu Nourishing Yuan Breathing Technique (100% Perfection), 2737 Volumes of Daoist Scriptures (100% Perfection)]

【道法：撒豆成兵（圆满100%）、花开顷刻（圆满100%）、天罡劫雷（圆满100%）、焚劫阴火（圆满100%）、离魂赑风（圆满100%）、缩地成寸（圆满100%）、降龙伏虎（圆满100%）】

[Realm: Qi Refining Perfection (99%) 12,960 strands of mana]

[Awakening of innate endowments ————]

[Shuttle Cooldown: 35 days (24 days remaining)]

Besides the significant changes in cultivation techniques and Daoist methods, Su Chen felt that his own comprehension had increased again, bringing him closer to Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni.

"10960 points of comprehension, huh?!"

Su Chen murmured to himself.

His earlier guess has been proven true!

Ten thousand points of comprehension is indeed not the limit; comprehension can go even higher!

"Then, what is it that surpasses even the most sages and wise men, those who have shaken the ages?"

"Does it require 15,000 points of transformation, or 20,000 points of comprehension transformation?"

Su Chen was deep in thought.

His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

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

At this moment, 2,737 strands of Daoist energy were swirling within his body, making his magical power even more refined.

"It's almost reached three thousand!"

The most important thing now is to comprehend the three thousand volumes of Daoist scriptures, then go to the Inner Realm Yin Land to obtain the five Heavenly Dao Foundation Building Materials, and then establish the Heavenly Dao Foundation!

Without hesitation, Su Chen continued to study the Daoist scriptures.

However, unlike before, his comprehension is now stronger, and he can read the Taoist scriptures much faster.

He could turn the page with just a glance, at an incredibly fast speed.

In other words, he is currently staying indoors. If he were in a place like the Scripture Pavilion, and those servant disciples saw him like this, they would probably roll their eyes at him immediately, thinking that he was seriously ill.

This is hardly what reading Taoist scriptures looks like.

What's the difference between this and just flipping through it for fun?

Let alone comprehending Taoist scriptures, even reading ordinary scriptures wouldn't be this fast.

Flipping through it so fast, there's not even enough time to see it clearly, let alone understand it!

What the hell are you looking at?

The golden sun gradually set in the sky.

Soon, the final notification sounded.

[Complete the Three Thousand Scrolls of Taoist Scriptures, Comprehension +3000]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 11223 (Sage and Worthy, Unparalleled Throughout History)]

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Finally, it's finished!"

At this moment, in his perception, three thousand strands of Daoist energy were roaming within his inner vision.

Furthermore, Su Chen had a vague feeling that if he were to begin Foundation Establishment at this moment, the probability of him achieving Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment would be as high as 90%!

This is a very high probability, it's almost impossible to fail!

Of course, if you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability. As someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, Su Chen naturally chooses to build his foundation only when things are at their best.

Furthermore, although there is only a nearly 10% chance of failure, who knows if we will actually be that unlucky and fail?

"What remains are the foundational objects for the Heavenly Dao in places like the Yin River and the Forest of Withered Bones!"

Su Chen focused his attention on the internal landscape within his body.

He closed his eyes, focused his consciousness on his inner dantian, and effortlessly gathered his Yin spirit.

In an instant, twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty thoughts landed in the bright inner landscape, and the three souls and seven spirits gathered together.

A ghostly light flickered, and a spirit was formed!

Su Chen's consciousness and perspective also changed accordingly, shifting to the Yin God.

It's not over yet!

With a thought, ten thousand strands of pure white magical power and three thousand strands of Daoist rhyme within his inner vision converged toward him.

In an instant, a white robe woven from moonlight slowly appeared, as clear and bright as the moon reflected on water.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, cloud-like Daoist characters appeared.

One hundred —

One thousand————

Three thousand pieces —

In an instant, his moon-shaped robe was covered with cloud-like Daoist scripture, which climbed and flowed densely on the robe.

Not only was he extremely conspicuous, but he also exuded a rich Daoist aura, even Daoist sounds.

Strange Taoist sounds echoed around him, as if explaining the mysteries of the Taoist scriptures, or as if preaching the Tao, depicting the Tao and truth!

Su Chen's eyes showed surprise.

He sensed the difference within himself.

Compared to before, the Yin spirit is at least several times stronger!

This is the blessing of the Three Thousand Daoist Scriptures upon his Yin Spirit!

The next second, his gaze turned to the outside of the interior.

Without hesitation, he floated over.

The Yin spirit crossed an invisible boundary.

As soon as he stepped outside, he was greeted by a familiar, gloomy, and dimly lit scene.

A familiar, bone-chilling cold swept in from all directions.

However, something different happened this time!

Su Chen was surprised to find that the dense cloud-like Daoist runes on the moon robe were flashing, and the rich Daoist aura emanating from it directly countered the invasion of the cold.

The Yin God's magical power was not even depleted; he withstood the attack solely through the three thousand cloud-like Daoist characters manifested from the Daoist scriptures. In other words, even without the replenishment of magical power, he could remain in the first level of this inner Yin realm!

After a moment of surprise, Su Chen's figure drifted towards the Yin River.

Soon, he saw in the distance a familiar, cold river flowing slowly.

At the same time, he also saw dozens of somewhat familiar figures of Yin Gods on the black muddy banks of the Yin River.

Several days have passed, and only a few individuals have left. Most of the Yin spirits are very familiar to me, and they haven't left yet, still hunting those jellyfish Yin creatures.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

But then he thought about it again and understood.

These cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining stage are now primarily focused on Foundation Establishment. In order to obtain more Gui Water and refine it into higher-quality Gui Water to aid in Foundation Establishment, they will naturally stay here indefinitely.

He observed those Yin spirits, the Yin spirits of those cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi Refining. As he approached, they sensed him.

"That strange aura again?"

"Is it that guy from last time?"

They instantly recognized who it was.

After all, this person had only been gone for a few days. As cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining, they wouldn't be so forgetful.

However, upon sensing this strange aura, they were somewhat speechless.

"This fellow Daoist is truly fearless! We've already told him that even the Yin Spirits of cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining are in danger of perishing in this Yin Land if they're not careful, yet he still dares to come?!"

"Yes, when this fellow Daoist first came to the Inner Realm of Yin, we told him that it would be best to master three hundred volumes of Daoist scriptures and receive their blessing before coming here. This fellow Daoist didn't listen; he really has no fear of death!"

"Heh, how utterly foolish!"

Among the thirty-odd Yin spirits, some looked speechless, while others looked contemptuous and mocking.

This person is just lucky; he hasn't perished yet!

Do you really think this inner shady place is some kind of auspicious place?!

With this thought in mind, as the strange aura gradually approached, they all subconsciously turned their heads to look over.

"Truly mediocre and foolish—"

Shi Beichen, dressed in a blue robe, also looked over indifferently.
