Chapter 409 - 186: Dou Shu True Mansion, Standing Up for Her Brother! Comprehending a Profound Skill in a Day and a Night, What a Demon Fiend!?

Chapter 409: Chapter 186: Dou Shu True Mansion, Standing Up for Her Brother! Comprehending a Profound Skill in a Day and a Night, What a Demon Fiend!?

This was also the reason why the Little Ancestral Master’s Cultivation had advanced so rapidly.

She was personally taught by the helmsman of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancestral Lineage, the supreme elder known as the True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws, Qin Wanfa himself.

Even a single moment of his guidance was a rare opportunity that countless Daoist High Merits, and even Divine Power True Masters, could only dream of.

Transforming a mere young girl was, for him, as easy as could be.

To say nothing of other things, just take the Ten Thousand Laws Sect’s Epiphyllum Altar—one of the so-called Three Wonders and Five Profound Mysteries—which could grant a person decades of life experience in a single instant...

It was said that simply sitting upon it was enough to drastically change one’s temperament, allowing them to mature rapidly and deepen their Divine Soul while still preserving their true self.

However, Fan Nansong could only catch glimpses of such wondrous and profound places through ancient texts and Sect inheritances. If he ever wished to be fortunate enough to enter one...

Only a heaven-sent prodigy like the Little Ancestral Master, or those who were top-tier in a True Mansion with an outstanding Dao Nature, would be qualified.

Therefore, the longer Ji Wei spent in Cultivation,

the less Fan Nansong could treat her like a little girl to be coddled.

This was also why he had been so respectful to Ji Wei from the moment he first saw her.

After all, he was a latecomer to the Sect, not even a true mentor who had imparted teachings to her. Furthermore, he had come seeking benefits, so his motives were not pure. Naturally, he could not compare to Ji Xiu.

Thus, upon hearing Ji Wei’s question, he pondered for a moment.

"Little Ancestral Master, that Daoist arrived on a Cloud Ship, so his status must be extraordinary. However, the details that have spread about what happened at the Celestial Blade School the other day are mostly vague."

"How about... you ask your brother to come and discuss this in person?"

"As long as we can figure out his background."

"When Senior Chi Jing arrives, we can surely settle the score and handle him as we please!"

Having offended the Little Ancestral Master, Fan Nansong had already silently sentenced the unknown Daoist to death in his heart.

The True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws did not personally impart the Purple Mansion True Skill to her. Instead, he had her enter the Dou Shu True Mansion to seek out that Divine Power True Master for her studies.

His intention was for the Little Ancestral Master to form a quasi-disciple bond with the True Mansion Master, becoming a student of magic techniques under the Dou Shu True Master.

In the future, when she vied for the position of the contemporary Ten Thousand Laws Traveler, the Dou Shu True Mansion would naturally be her supporter. It would also allow her to act with impunity throughout the Great Xuan.

This intention was laid bare for all to see.

Yet, the True Mansion Master of the Dou Shu True Mansion still accepted it with pleasure.

Furthermore, he had dispatched one of the Ten Great True Inheritance disciples who had accompanied him to the Great Xuan to "pioneer" their Daoist Lineage—Senior Chi Jing of the Six Divination—to come personally. The importance he placed on this matter was self-evident.

After all, by accepting the supreme elder’s disciple and forming a "teaching bond" with her, if she could defeat all the other elites in the sect in the future and ascend to the position of Ten Thousand Laws Traveler, or even Sect Leader...

his own True Mansion would naturally benefit greatly. So why wouldn’t he?

That Daoist who happened to arrive in Jiangyin Prefecture certainly sounded extraordinary in the rumors, but that was all.

Faced with a Divine Power Mansion Master from one of the six great True Mansions of a top-tier Daoist Lineage, as well as a Chief True Inheritance disciple who had come in person...

if they really wanted to pick a fight,

couldn’t they just use the Six Divination to deduce his whereabouts, show up at his door, and crush him with ease?!

Therefore, Fan Nansong spoke with complete confidence.

Just then, a disciple from the temple came to report that a Flying Ship had arrived, and a Daoist wearing a True Mansion Robe was striding toward them!

As soon as Chi Jing Daoist entered, he first gave Fan Nansong a casual glance before his gaze landed on the young girl beside him, his eyes filled with interest.

’So this is the little girl the True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws took as his personal disciple from across the realms?’

Chi Jing thought to himself. Having only caught the end of Fan Nansong’s sentence, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, smiled warmly, and said,

"By order of the Dou Shu Mansion Master, I have come to receive Junior Sister Ji."

"Rest assured, if some scoundrel or witless fool has offended you..."

"...I will teach them a lesson, so they understand that our Ten Thousand Laws Lineage isn’t just anyone they can boss around!"

The Daoist raised an eyebrow, his tone solemn. As he spoke, he brought two fingers together, drew a Void Rune, and collected a wisp of Ji Wei’s Qi Mechanism. He then directly employed the Great Deduction Skill, activating the Six Divination!

He had come this time under the orders of the Dou Shu Mansion Master. He was well aware that this exceptionally talented young girl, who had a heaven-piercing backer in the ancestral lineage, was about to establish a relationship with the Dou Shu True Mansion.

The True Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws had sent his own direct disciple, whose name was on the Jade Register, to the Dou Shu True Mansion.

On one hand, this would allow the Mansion Master to pioneer and spread the sect’s teachings in the Great Xuan with peace of mind. On the other, it would serve as a connection to the main sect, ensuring he wouldn’t be without support if something unexpected happened.

Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, this girl was a veritable ’little ancestor,’ an absolute treasure.

Although the rule stated that a True Inheritance could only be bestowed after entering a True Mansion—a rule no one could break—

...there was still room for personal favor beyond the letter of the law. Thus, no matter what, he had to take good care of this ’Junior Sister’—who, despite her higher seniority, would be addressed as a peer upon entering the True Mansion.

However, what seemed like a simple deduction, when the Six Divination was cast and all the traces converged upon him...

Chi Jing’s brow furrowed tightly.

"What’s going on?"

As for Ji Wei, she hadn’t even spoken yet, but seeing the suddenly arrived Chi Jing Daoist, Fan Nansong on the side was completely stunned.

He had never eaten pork, but he had seen a pig run. Seeing Chi Jing Daoist’s posture, he knew this expert from the True Mansion was casting one of the legendary Divine Techniques.

But when he saw the clues from the Divine Technique all pointing directly at Chi Jing Daoist himself...

...Fan Nansong hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but carefully explain the entire sequence of events.

Instantly, Chi Jing Daoist, who had now heard the first part of the story, fell silent for a moment.

And seeing the light in the eyes of his ’Junior Sister’, who had initially been curious about him, rapidly dim...

Chi Jing Daoist felt his throat tighten. But his mind raced, and in an instant, he let out a laugh and waved his sleeve.

"This is the Divine Technique of our Ten Thousand Laws Sect lineage, inherited from the Dou Shu True Mansion—the Six Divination!"

"Once you, Junior Sister, receive the True Mansion Jade Butterfly, attain the rank of Daoist High Merit, and approach the level of a True Master... you can begin cultivating it. I, your Senior Brother, was just giving a small demonstration to let you see its effects."

"As for those rumors you mentioned, have you not heard that rumors can be a dreadful thing?"

"I, your Senior Brother, went to great pains to connect with that little brother of yours, intentionally giving him a pretext in order to grant him a small fortunate opportunity."

"As for your brother and that Dragon Tiger Realm enemy his School is facing..."

Chi Jing Daoist said with a beaming smile,

"Just wait here, I’ll be right back."

A moment later.

He boarded the Flying Ship, ambushed Wei Changkong—the Guardian who had been specially selected to look after his Junior Sister—and swiftly incapacitated him.

Carrying Wei Changkong with one hand, Chi Jing Daoist entered once more.

This time, looking at Ji Wei, whose expression had softened considerably, Chi Jing Daoist smiled and clapped his hands.

"Let’s go."

"After we meet with that brother of yours, we’ll set off for the Dou Shu True Mansion!"

...

「Jiangyin Prefecture Courtyard」

Ji Xiu’s breakthrough of the Three Limits at the Beicang Marquis’s Mansion had greatly shocked both Granny Shi and Xiao Mingli. Neither had expected his progress to be so rapid.

A day later, he came to visit Xu Longxiang, intending to ask his Master for some advice on the subsequent stages of the True Martial World Demon Suppressing Profound Skill.

At the same time, he planned to use his authority as the Head of the Mansion and Court to rent a Divine Soul Cultivation Room and get a head start on cultivating the Divine Talisman Fire Liver.

The moment he saw Xu Longxiang,

the Martial Saint’s eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Ji Xiu. His Flesh, Bone, and Skin were perfectly integrated. Whether walking, sitting, or lying down, a faint purple aura seeped out from Ji Xiu’s pores and Skin Membrane.

"You’ve already... broken the Three Limits!?"

Ji Xiu looked at Xu Longxiang and bowed deeply.

"I have comprehended the True Martial World Demon Suppressing Profound Skill. Master, I ask for your guidance on the path to advancing to a Qi Cultivation Grandmaster!"

Xu Longxiang still hadn’t recovered from his earlier shock. Hearing this, he simply stroked his white beard and nodded.

"Mm... a promising youth. You’ve comprehended the True Martial World Demon Suppressing Profound Skill..."

"Hm?"

However, as he spoke,

he suddenly felt that the words he had just spoken out of reflex were not quite right.

Just then,

Xu Longxiang’s spine straightened. A surging Martial Saint True Intent erupted from him as he opened his tiger-like eyes and took a closer look, only to discover...

...at this moment, Ji Xiu’s body indeed bore traces of the True Martial Demon-Vanquishing Skill, which was of the same origin as his own!

It was just that Ji Xiu’s aura was extremely faint; he had only reached a preliminary comprehension. This was completely different from his own state of Merit Perfection and Armor Demon-Vanquishing.

But even so, it was enough to send Xu Longxiang’s mind into turmoil. He nearly couldn’t catch his breath, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"One day and one night."

"You..."

"You actually comprehended a Celestial Pillar Level Qi Dao True Skill!?"
