Mortal Saint

Chapter 199: Chapter 115: The Profound Monarch’s Six-Chapter Secret Record! A Manifested Saint Descends, Ji Xiu Devours It in One Bite, Forging a Peerless Dao Foundation

"The Central Yellow Remnants manipulate Demons and have invaded a county, causing suffering to hundreds of thousands of county residents. Their crimes are punishable by death!"

"Outside, under my, Ji Xiu’s, command, the heads of the Three Major Professions have formed a temporary Guard Team to expel the Demons. Their leaders have already been slain by my Master. The situation is under control!"

"This Evil Deity destroys cities and deludes the people’s hearts. It is truly abominable."

"County residents, retreat at once!"

"Today, we will purge these Alien Deities and execute their vile leader to restore peace!"

Hearing these thunderous words and seeing Martial Artist masters like Qin Zhuo and Ye Ningzhi charge into the ranks of the Central Yellow Sect Members, each of them stained with Demon Blood...

’Now *this* is more like it!’

Zhao Jiu instantly stopped shaking his leg. He turned his head in exasperation and shot Old Liang a contemptuous look, his meaning obvious.

’I told you to go kill a few grunts, make an example of them to boost morale.’

’Get the Martial Artists from the Martial Arts Halls to raise their blades and the County Soldiers to ready their Powerful Crossbows. Have a real fight, at least give it a try.’

’No matter how perfect your Power Barrier cultivation is, even if it makes you impervious to blades and spears and earns you the title Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, it’s just for show. It doesn’t make you invincible.’

’Even my sworn brother, who’s no blood relation, understands this better than you, old man. It’s not that I, Master Jiu, am being snobbish; you two just deserve to be treated differently!’

He was grumbling internally when, before he could open his mouth, he saw a crescent moon appear in the sky!

"Wei Changjiao..."

"Back when I perfected my Secret Martial art, my ’First Try’ with the blade didn’t manage to kill you?"

Duan Chenzhou’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw the young Altar Master with the gleaming scar running from his forehead to the back of his head, a faint purple aura flaring around him.

This man had been one of the Chaotic Heaven Thieves before they scattered. Afterward, he’d changed professions, becoming a Tributor to Divine Beings—a bandit chief turned Outer Sect leader. Duan Chenzhou saw that he was now trying to seize this golden opportunity to cross the threshold into the ranks of Qi Cultivation Grandmasters...

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Heh, so you plan to use the Incense Qi of this Central Yellow Outer Deity to open your Qi Sea? Trying to reach the Grandmaster realm through an Outer Dao method, are you?"

"I must say, if I, Duan, weren’t here, you would have surely succeeded this time."

"But..."

Beneath the crescent moon and falling snow, Duan Chenzhou’s blade-like brows rose, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.

"Today, I will strike once more. First, I will shatter your ’Grandmaster dream,’ and then..."

He raised his head, his black hair whipping in the wind as he stared at the nearly-formed phantom of the Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General’s Divine Soul.

"I will slay this manifested Outer Deity!"

His words hung in the air!

Stunning the rioting county residents into dead silence!

This was a Qi Cultivation Grandmaster.

Using Qi to manifest visions, employing one’s own spiritual thoughts... to influence others!

Those with weaker emotions would truly be led by his will!

A crushing pressure, like mountains toppling and seas overturning, washed over Wei Changjiao, chilling him to the bone. The man who had just shattered Liang Bomei with a single punch had lost all of his earlier ease.

"Three Newborn Great Demons..."

"All dead!?"

He looked at the Demon Blood on the corner of Duan Chenzhou’s robe, which still carried the lingering Qi Mechanism of the White Ape Lord and the other Demons, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

At that moment, Wei Changjiao finally understood how the Ghost Hand Judge had met his end.

’This beast...’

’He’s unbelievably powerful!’

Thankfully, he had been cautious. He hadn’t listened to the provocations of his underlings from the Three Great Gangs, like Yang Daohan, before the ’grand plan’ was complete.

Otherwise, the grass on his grave would be three feet high by now!

However, now, with the Venerable Deity already manifesting, for Duan Chenzhou to remain so arrogant was truly foolish.

"Shatter my ’Qi Cultivation Grandmaster’ dream!?"

"Duan Chenzhou..."

Facing the incoming Crescent Celestial Saber, Wei Changjiao did not dodge or evade. He simply spread his arms and laughed maniacally.

"The Incense and Candlelight that my Central Yellow Sect has reaped from believers scattered across the entire five-hundred-li Anning County has all been gathered into the Divine Shrine. It’s nearly complete."

"You have no idea what you’re about to face!"

"Even if it’s just an External Incarnation without a physical body, in terms of Divine Soul... the Venerable Deity is currently comparable to a Daoist Level High Merit practitioner!"

"You,"

"how can you possibly withstand it!?"

SWOOSH!

A mace’s shadow, like a bursting ’thought,’ lashed down from the hands of the deity statue towering dozens of feet above his head, illuminating the snowy night!

It forcibly stopped Duan Chenzhou’s Crescent Celestial Saber!

SCREECH!

The violent collision caused the ’Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General’ to open its eyes.

"What a ’human farce’..."

He glanced at Duan Chenzhou, his gaze profound as he looked at the Martial Artist whose sharp aura posed a slight threat to him.

"Not bad."

"But if you want to slay me..."

"you are still far from worthy."

Then, the Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General shifted his gaze. He watched Ji Xiu, who was firing arrows through the air to pierce the believers. A flicker of emotion finally crossed his face, and his divine eyes turned cold and grim.

"Brat."

"You..."

"are truly impudent!"

"I have given you chance after chance, yet you repeatedly provoke and trample upon my dignity. Do you really think I’m made of clay!?"

"Since you look down on me, I will waste no more words on you."

"This body of yours... is fit to be the vessel for my manifestation!"

With that, he erupted in golden light, blasting away the Crescent Celestial Saber and charging through the air to crush Ji Xiu!

Ordinarily, seeing such a scene would at least make Ji Xiu’s palms sweat.

But... as the Sun and Moon Jade Token at his waist chimed softly,

his eyes suddenly lit up. He glanced to the side, watching Miss Jiang as she cut down Central Yellow Remnants, her presence calming the county residents wherever she went. He couldn’t help but murmur:

"You were right after all..."

「Before they arrived.」

Jiang Li had told him that if this Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General absorbed enough Incense and Candlelight, his Master, Duan Chenzhou, might not be able to slay the beast.

But!

Divine Beings forge their bodies from Incense and Candlelight. They are ethereal and illusory, and their power will eventually be exhausted, like rootless duckweed;

His Master’s Blood Marrow and stamina, however, were ceaseless, drawn from Heaven and Earth—inexhaustible and endless!

In a protracted battle, his Master would be the certain victor.

Furthermore, this beast had gone to great lengths to form a Divine Dao Thought and ’smuggle’ itself into this world.

It would surely be just like the so-called ’Possession’ of weapon-liberated Immortals or the so-called ’rebirth’ of Buddhas; it would want to find a prime vessel to inhabit. When that time came...

it would have two choices: its Great General Altar Master, or him, with his heaven-defying foundation.

Wei Changjiao was its subordinate, and all matters of faith were tied to him. For that reason, if it chose not to be ’reborn’ through him, then...

it would definitely be him!

His Master, Duan Chenzhou, was a master of the Human Immortal Martial Dao, but his Divine Thoughts had only been Quenched by Secret Martial arts. He lacked profound attainment in this area and couldn’t intercept such unpredictable, ghostly methods.

Therefore... she had left him a contingency.

A way to ’lure the prey into the trap.’ He could use the sheer volume of this Divine Being’s power to directly reach the Perfection of the Second Realm of Dao Skill, ’Qi Absorption and Grain Avoidance.’

Once he reached that stage, he would only need to obtain a Dao Foundation to be able to condense his thoughts, borrow Qi from thin air, and cultivate Miracle Skills—the Third Realm of Dao Skill: ’Divine Thought’!

[Advance the incomplete ’Divine Refining Scroll’ from the ’Six Chapters of the Profound Monarch’s Secret Record’?]

[Condition for Advancement: Completely devour the Outer Deity Thoughts of one ’General’-level entity!]

[The Six Chapters were created by the Profound Monarch after painstakingly studying the Six Heavens and gleaning the Secret Skills of the Outer Daos of ’Immortals, Buddhas, Divine Beings, Saints, Demons, and Devils.’]

[Master them all...]

[...and one can construct the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ and ascend to the Other Shore!]

[However, the scrolls are difficult to cultivate. Even mastering an incomplete fragment has harsh requirements. I have sealed them within this secret record. If future generations study this, they must be exceedingly cautious. Do not neglect the root for the branches and delay your progress on the Human Immortal Dao!]
