Chapter 408: Chapter 186: Dou Shu True Mansion, Standing Up for Her Brother! Comprehending a Profound Skill in 1 Day and 1 Night, What a Demon Fiend!?

Flying Immortal Temple.

News from the Celestial Blade School had spread through every street and alley of Jiangyin Prefecture.

Wang Xuanyang, the "Vast Sea Celestial Saber" who had been unbeaten for a sixty-year cycle, had returned, his Cultivation completely gone.

When Weii Changkong, the Purple Mist Sect Leader, made a forceful landing on the island with his Grandmasters, intending to settle old grudges and seize the foundation, he was suppressed in a single move by the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint, who appeared from nowhere, manifested an Ancient Dragon Elephant, crossed the East Canghai, and stunned the entire Jiangyin Prefecture.

If not for a Daoist cultivating an Immortal Technique who arrived on a Flying Ship and struck a deal with the Elder Martial Saint to spare his life, this man—one of the "six great mountains" who had dominated Jiangyin Prefecture for half his life—would have certainly met his end.

But even so,

He may have escaped death, but he couldn’t escape punishment.

At the unquestionable, authoritative command of the Martial Saint, Xu Longxiang,

The Purple Mist School—which had endured for a Hundred Years and finally clawed its way to the top, becoming the unspoken leader among schools like the Jinghong Sword Sect, the Little Five Decline Sword Sect, and the Three Punches Sect...

...was forced to disband and dismiss its disciples, all because its leader had offended that ’student.’ In just two short days, it was a case of "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter"—a truly lamentable sight.

When the news reached the Flying Immortal Temple, Observatory Master Fan Nansong immediately relayed the information to the Little Ancestral Master, Ji Wei, as it concerned her elder brother, Ji Xiu.

When Ji Wei heard the news, she was Quenching her Divine Soul, advancing her Dao Skill, and studying a Daoist Technique from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect called "Five Thunders and Xun Wind."

She was truly worthy of her Innate Talent—naturally enlightened, with a Divine Soul unlike any ordinary person’s, one that could roam the great cosmos even in a state of Ignorance.

The more time she spent practicing her Dao Skill, the more of her talent she unlocked.

Ji Xiu had taken over half a year to reach the end of the Power Barrier and the Three Daoist Art Realms.

As his younger sister, Ji Wei, relying on her extraordinary Innate Talent for Dao Skill, was now just one step away from bringing her Daoist Technique Cultivation to Perfection, condensing a Daoist Seed, planting it in her Purple Mansion, and opening the path of a Daoist High Merit.

The reason Fan Nansong had reported the matter and requested that the Dou Shu True Mansion—one of the six True Mansions the Ten Thousand Laws Sect had established in Great Xuan—dispatch a Daoist with True Inheritance was precisely because the inheritance of a Purple Mansion True Skill was no trivial matter.

Even the True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws, esteemed as he was as the helmsman of a Daoist Lineage, had to follow the rules. If Ji Wei wanted to receive a Purple Mansion True Skill, use it to open a top-tier Purple Mansion, solidify her foundation, and set herself on the direct path to becoming a True Master...

...she would first have to enter a True Mansion, participate in the grand examination, and earn the title of True Inheritance. Only then could she be taught the Dou Shu Dao Chapter from the Dou Shu True Mansion, which led directly to the True Master realm!

Each of the Six True Mansions of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect contained a "Purple Mansion Chapter" Dao Chapter and a True Inheritance Divine Power Skill. These were known as the "six Chapters and six skills," the Twelve Orthodox Merits of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect!

Their power was the object of immense envy, including for the old Observatory Master of the Flying Immortal Temple, Fan Nansong.

He reflected that since entering the Great Xuan Territory, obeying the sect’s Decree, and establishing a branch Daoist Temple, he had weathered decades of storms only to cultivate a mere "Daoist Merit" level Purple Mansion True Skill.

It was only because he had previously witnessed the True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws manifest as a Saint in broad daylight and received his grace that he was taught the Three-Five Qi Gathering Daoist Scripture, which improved the foundation of his Purple Mansion by a notch or two.

Even so,

in the five-tier rating system for the Purple Mansion—Merit, Scripture, Canon, Classic, and Chapter—his was only ranked among the bottom two tiers.

Although, compared to some of the minor sects in the Immortal Celestial Universe, a Purple Mansion foundation of the Daoist Scripture level was something many people could only dream of.

But for the Ten Thousand Laws Sect...

...a foundation like his wasn’t even qualified to go to the Dou Shu True Mansion, receive an Ordination Certificate for the True Inheritance, and be taught the great secret of the True Master realm.

The Twelve Orthodox Merits of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect!

To be taught even one of them was enough to be ranked among the True Inheritors, to walk the Celestial Universe and spread the majesty of the Three Celestial Venerable Teachings!

The Little Ancestral Master only needed to follow the steps of her Cultivation to earn the right to such a method. It truly was the envy of others...

Flying Immortal Temple.

As Ji Wei listened to Observatory Master Fan Nansong’s account, she furrowed her delicate brows and nervously twisted the corner of her sleeve, consumed with worry for Ji Xiu.

It wasn’t until she heard that the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint had intervened that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s my brother for you. He always manages to land on his feet and meet powerful people wherever he goes."

"His talent has always been outstanding. Back in Anning County, he was just a piece of true gold buried in the sand. It was thanks to Master Duan Chenzhou’s discerning eye that he was able to stand out."

"Now that he’s in Jiangyin Prefecture, it’s like a fish taking to the great sea. He can finally see how vast the world is. It’s only natural that a Martial Saint would take a liking to him."

"However..."

The young woman, clad in a Flying Immortal Palace Skirt, narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Observatory Master Fan, what is the origin of that Daoist?"

"He just rescued that Purple Mist Sect Leader, causing my brother to lose face and leaving him with the hidden danger of a Dragon Tiger Expert as a future enemy. That kind of person has a wicked heart."

"Help me investigate his background. After I enter the Dou Shu True Mansion, inherit the Purple Mansion True Skill from the True Master Mansion Master, and achieve success in my Cultivation..."

"...I will personally pay him a visit on my brother’s behalf and help him eliminate this lingering threat completely!"

At this, Ji Wei lowered her gaze, her tone turning several degrees colder, which made Fan Nansong’s heart tremble.

He knew in his heart.

The young woman before him was no longer the same person he had first met.

During this period, as Ji Wei’s Cultivation had advanced from the First Realm of Daoist Skill, "Script Recognition and Locket Granting," to "Qi Absorption and Grain Avoidance," and then to "Divine Thought," her Daoist Merit had steadily progressed...

And the Little Ancestral Master’s profoundly mysterious Divine Soul Innate Talent had already taken her to the presence of the True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws three times, with each visit lasting longer than the last.
