Seven days later.
Inside a villa in Jinling City.
The Taisui Society was the local overlord, and the villa it had found lay in the bustling city, yet was quiet and elegant. Clearly, they had put considerable thought into it.
During this period, Zhong Shenxiu had finally learned the weight of the words "Great Sage."
Merely news of his staying here had spread, and countless invitations and visitors had come knocking.
Even ordinary factions did not have the face for it. Only factions comparable to the Taisui Society were qualified to deliver invitations—and the Great Zhou Imperial Family was among them.
After Zhong Shenxiu made it clear that he had no desire to receive guests, not even a mosquito or fly could be seen around the villa.
At this moment, he was lying on the sofa, casually setting a black book aside.
This ancient book had been made from human skin. When touched, it had a greasy texture that made one's hair stand on end.
And the Text of the Great Dao had stated its purpose plainly: it was the foundational art of the Taisui Society—the [Taisui Life Book]!
The book contained over a hundred unorthodox arts, as well as methods for increasing one's cultivation. At its highest, one could cultivate to the ninth realm—Divine Transformation!
After Zhong Shenxiu had expressed his desire to take a look that day, the Taisui Society's Left Protector had delivered it that very night.
"It's still the original. You truly went to great lengths."
Zhong Shenxiu flicked his fingers. "For the Taisui Society to do this, the first reason should be to resolve its grudge with me. After all, although I don't care about Lü Luo and Huang Yuanba, they wouldn't dare think that way... The second reason is to borrow my tiger's might?"
