Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage
When Li Guoquan brought the Three-legged Sunbird, or rather, the [golden crow meat],
Zhang Fusheng has already completed the transactions with Hu Zhongli and Yu Huafeng.
He gave Old Hu thirty years of spiritual cultivation that had not yet been used in the Contract Book.
In return, he gained a killing technique that he had mastered to the level of "Unity of Intent and Spirit".
"This technique is called [Great Strength Ox Demon Body]."
Hu Zhongli's expression was extremely solemn as he introduced the situation:
"This technique has a long history, originating from a Corpse Demon Ox at the pinnacle of a level 5 star beast. Many years ago, someone sought out this technique from it deep within the star sea."
After pausing for a moment, Old Hu continued:
"However, the cultivation process of this method is too extreme. One must fall into demonic possession in order to make progress. I have fallen into demonic possession nine times in my life and woken up nine times, pushing this method to the level of Unity of Intent and Spirit."
"But now that I've broken through to the Innate Great Realm, this technique is no longer of much use to me."
Zhang Fusheng's eyes shone brightly:
"Even if it's not very useful, it's still a method of Unity of Intent and Spirit. Giving it to me after thirty years of spiritual cultivation is a huge advantage for me."
A method to become stronger by becoming possessed by a demon?
What a coincidence!
He loved being possessed by demons.
Zhang Fusheng bowed, knowing that Hu Zhongli was trying to curry favor, and he was happy to oblige.
This was precisely why Zhang Fusheng personally joined the Gaotian Association.
Hu Zhongli smiled, but his expression turned very serious:
"This method is extraordinary; it contains a profound and mysterious secret that I haven't been able to uncover. I just don't know if you can do it."
The spirit is hidden?
Zhang Fusheng seemed to be deep in thought. How could a method that sounded like a physical training technique be related to the mystical arts of the mind and spirit?
Interesting.
He suppressed the urge to immediately absorb and integrate this wondrous technique, and heard the old woman speak:
"I don't have anything to offer at the moment."
Yu Huafeng said regretfully:
"But I don't have much level 4 Star Beast Meat available in the Research Institute. I'll have someone send some over in the next few days, as for the trade."
She pointed at Li Guoquan:
"Like Councilor Li, with a lifespan of one or two hundred years?"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Zhang Fusheng smiled and agreed. Level 4 star beasts were already true mythical beings, but they were either of low grade or had imperfect bloodlines.
Even so, it is still a mythical life form!
He pretended to transfer fifty years of his lifespan to Li Guoquan through a fake image of True Person, and then received a jade box from him.
The jade box is quite heavy.
More than 10,000 jin!
Zhang Fusheng was astonished:
"Why would half an ounce of meat be placed in such a heavy jade box?"
He subconsciously lifted the jade box slightly.
Light.
Sun.
Zhang Fusheng's eyes stung, and terrifying heat instantly surged from the jade box, scorching his skin black.
If Hu Zhongli hadn't reacted quickly and used his immense strength to bind and compress the heat back,
The old woman with no cultivation level standing nearby has probably vanished along with the entire villa!
'Smack!'
Zhang Fusheng closed the jade box, still shaken.
"This is the Star Beast Meat?!"
Li Guoquan nodded:
"Level 4 star beasts are so rare that even Living Souls is hard to buy; they are usually obtained through barter. Every gram of one is of immense benefit to the user."
He shrugged.
"I obtained this Star Beast Meat by fortuitous opportunity, which is why I can't consume it; otherwise, it wouldn't have survived until now."
Zhang Fusheng swallowed hard, gently stroking the smooth, warm jade box:
"How exactly are star beasts classified?"
He asked, seemingly casually.
It was the old woman who answered.
Yu Huafeng spoke seriously:
"Based on our research, the Star Beasts are suspected to originate from 'Different Dimension,' and are an extremely peculiar life form."
"These life forms are born powerful, but strangely, they don't become stronger."
Zhang Fusheng was eager to learn:
"Please enlighten me, Elder Yu."
The Source Origin Research Institute itself studies [Different Dimension].
Yu Huafeng considered for a moment and said:
"A Level 1 Star Beast, born a Grandmaster, will remain a Grandmaster until death."
"Level 2 and Level 3 Star Beasts are born at the Innate and Celestial Person Realms, respectively. As for Level 4 Star Beasts..."
Zhang Fusheng's expression changed:
"Born a god??"
"That's right." Yu Huafeng nodded affirmatively. "That's why the Star Beast Meat of level 3 and above is extremely rare and practically priceless."
She recalled:
"As for Level 5? Those kinds of life forms can no longer be judged by ordinary standards; they seem to conform to a single rule?"
Zhang Fusheng's expression turned solemn, and he suddenly looked at Hu Zhongli:
"Old Hu, then who is this Bull Demon you're talking about?"
Old Hu shook his head:
"I don't know either. All I know is that it's a terrifying creature deep within the sea of stars, unlike the other star beasts that have power but no intelligence."
"That bull demon can communicate and speak human language."
Zhang Fusheng nodded thoughtfully.
Star beasts are mythical beings, lacking intelligence and unable to cultivate.
It is also related to that old era that has been obliterated and disappeared.
"Let Zhang Erhe it."
After respectfully seeing off the True Person, Zhang Fusheng let out a slight sigh and said this.
The secret conversation ended quickly.
It was already dusk when I left the villa.
Zhang Fusheng raised his head, glanced at the twelve spaceships still hovering above the Executive Building, and smiled silently.
Next, it will be time for the Gaotian Association completely establish himself in Chongyang City.
And everything was already in place; the rest didn't even require his deliberate guidance.
Hu Zhongli and the others will naturally handle everything.
As for Chen Qiusheng?
He's still useful.
"Stir it, stir it."
With a slight thought, Zhang Fusheng sent the newly acquired Grandmaster's remains to protect his parents as well.
Only then did he feel completely relieved. Instead of going home, he went to check into a high-end hotel.
Upon entering the guest room, he first closed his eyes to sense the situation on the plague demon's side. The plague demon seemed to be in a carriage.
As for that Miss Mingyue...
Strangely, her eyes were tightly closed, and no matter how Zhang Fusheng manipulated the plague demon to call out to her, there was no response.
During this time, he looked out of the carriage.
Yes.
Galaxy.
An endless expanse of stars, dotting the night sky, with desolate planets lying silently.
Looking down, beneath the carriage, lay a vast, azure planet.
Damn it.
Starry Sky!!
The plague demon swiftly withdrew its head.
The carriage did not move; it stood silently on the blue planet.
In a fleeting glance, Zhang Fusheng spotted the horses pulling the cart.
There were two horses in total, both pure white, and they seemed to have stepped out of a painting. An aura of terrifying power emanated from them.
Just one glance sent a chill down Zhang Fusheng's spine!
Seem
He is even above Hu Zhongli.
At least at the Innate Great Realm level.
Zhang Fusheng was numb.
Silently return your main consciousness to its original state.
"Miss Mingyue, what exactly happened?"
In his hotel room, he muttered to himself, looking confused.
"All the immortals All Gods have vanished, so why does Miss Mingyue still exist?"
I don't understand.
Then I won't think about it anymore.
Zhang Fusheng silently immersed his thoughts in the Contract Book, ignoring the commotion outside the hotel.
He didn't rush to devour the mixed-blood version of the Golden Crow's meat. Even Li Guoquan, Great Grandmaster who had opened four furnaces, found it difficult to consume the Golden Crow's meat.
I'm afraid it's difficult for me too.
"Great Strength Ox Demon Body"
Through silent communication with Old Hu, the light ball quietly detached from the Contract Book and merged with itself.
Year after year, memories of the arduous honing and refinement of this killing technique and its practice surfaced from the depths of my mind.
Zhang Fusheng also discovered every detail about the Great Strength Ox Demon Body!
This is a martial art, or rather, a technique, of unknown rank.
"The Great Strength Ox Demon Body: During cultivation, visualize the Bull Demon perched atop the Flame God Mountain, using the Flame God Mountain as fuel to refine your body, Qi and Blood, and spirit. The Flame God Mountain?"
"Bull Demon??"
Zhang Fusheng suddenly opened his eyes, letting the various cultivation memories flood in like a tide, his eyes wide open.
Flame Mountain.
Bull Devil King??
He began to have doubts, but continued to absorb the cultivation memories from year after year.
"The Great Strength Ox Demon Body, even at the very beginning, allows one to achieve Unity of Intent and Spirit?"
The more I learn, the more alarmed I become.
For example, in Middle Vehicle- level martial art, one can only attain its True Intention after cultivating it to Perfection, and only after Limit-Breaking can one reach the level of the unity of intention and energy.
A second Limit-Breaking is needed before one can achieve Unity of Intent and Spirit!
Even the most powerful of my twelve True Intention is nothing more than the union of intention and qi!
"The initial step is the Unity of Intent and Spirit. If it weren't for the fact that cultivation involves repeatedly falling into demonic possession, the temptation would be too great, and the danger even greater. Old Hu would never be willing to exchange it with me."
Zhang Fusheng was truly shocked.
The Bull Demon Minor Accomplishment, can transform into Ten Thousand Zang Ox Demon. With a single thought, a Flame Mountain will rise from it.
Once the Bull Demon's body Great Accomplishment, according to the scriptures, he can acquire the ability to "manifest the laws of heaven and earth," and in the blink of an eye, his body can become as large as a star!
As for Perfection?
The scriptures do not describe this, but through mental insight, one can perceive a hazy, indistinct light.
Is this the secret that Hu Zhongli mentioned?
Zhang Fusheng's heart stirred slightly, and he manipulated his Mental Intent to pierce towards that secret treasure.
But the strength of the spirit's hidden depths is beyond imagination.
It was undoubtedly a failure—after all, even Hu Zhongli had truly entered the innate level, failed.
Zhang Fusheng did not give up, attempting to cultivate Immortal Thought and once again pierce the secrets of the spirit.
That burst of precious light trembled and exploded in Zhang Fusheng's visualization!
The secret has been revealed!
His expression suddenly changed as soon as he was excited.
The essence is hidden, and can be described in just four words.
[The Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage].
Zhang Fusheng was not pleased; in fact, a chill ran through him.
If this method is cultivated to Perfection, one can attain the title of [Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage].
He fell silent.
Whose method of cultivating goodness ends up earning them a nickname?
Damn it.
This method must have been left behind by the Old Niu.
Zhang Fusheng never hesitated to assume the worst of others. He wondered, if someone truly mastered this technique to Perfection...
Whether
Has the Old Niu returned?
"Although the Bull Demon Body is excellent, I can only cultivate it to its Great Accomplishment."
"Well, even though Great Accomplishment is far away from me, the Great Accomplishment Bull Demon Body, with its laws governing heaven and earth, is as vast as the stars."
Zhang Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief; he had already mastered the beginner-level Great Strength Ox Demon Body.
It felt as if I had truly cultivated for hundreds of years.
In his mind, that so-called spiritual secret kept swaying, reflecting one visualization after another in Zhang Fusheng's thoughts.
The visualization images flashed rapidly, each one different yet interconnected, forming a brief story when put together!
The story begins with a frail little bull demon.
A little bull demon born in the desolate mountains and wilderness, whom anyone can step on.
Zhang Fusheng was forced to look at one scroll after another.
The story depicted in the scroll
The young bull demon was frail and weak, with little Yao Qi, yet he harbored a fiery spirit. From this humble beginning...
He endured wind, frost, and snow, ate the light of the sun and moon, and wore down his horns countless times, forging himself into the true form of a bull demon, and was revered as the [Dali Bull Devil King]!
This is just the beginning.
In the scroll, the Dali Bull Devil King arrives at a towering mountain and forms a sworn brotherhood with various powerful demons. At the very end of the scroll...
He was pushed to the head seat by the demons, banners fluttering in the wind. The former little bull demon once trod upon the Sea of Clouds, his light illuminating the eight directions and ten realms.
The flag prominently displayed the four characters: "[The Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage]!"
The story ends here.
Zhang Fusheng looked solemn. He could still see monkeys and dragons in the spiritual scroll of the Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage.
The Seven Great Sages of the Human Realm in those days.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind turbulent, then gradually calmed down. A faint mooing sound emanated from his body, and his spirit manifested as a vast ocean, its waves surging and crashing, seemingly forming a gigantic bull demon!
"I think the Great Strength Ox Demon Body should be called the Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage Scripture more accurately."
He exhaled a breath of stale air, and it seemed as if a cow's moo had echoed from ancient times, resounding through the ages.
His Unity of Intent and Spirit, and behind him lurked a vast aura of demonic energy, Yao Qi, and Savage Wilderness energy; his body seemed to have undergone countless trials and tribulations.
His strength surged exponentially, one level after another!
100,000 jin, 300,000 jin, 500,000 jin!
Under normal circumstances, the sudden addition of 20 million jin of force caused the strength of the Sixteen-Foot True Body to increase from 60 million jin to over 100 million jin!
50,000 tons!
The changes continue unabated.
The level of this technique is far too high.
"The Sixteen-Foot True Body seems to have undergone some inexplicable changes, now sporting a pair of bull horns??"
"Your mother!"
He had a headache, his Innate Spiritual Sense was trembling, and he vaguely felt that he might have been tricked.
There's a 90% chance that this Great Strength Ox Demon Body is a technique left behind by the Old Niu!
That bastard.
Oh no.
That bastard.
The divine realm also seemed to reveal the image of the Dali Bull Demon King—this is normal, Unity of Intent and Spirit, thus creating the True Intention form of the will.
He calmed himself down and was not alarmed. Someone else might have put in all their effort to cultivate to the point of Perfection and try to become the Heaven-Pacifying Great Sage.
But I wouldn't do that.
Old Niu's scheme backfired when he met his match—but what exactly is that Bull Demon Star Beast deep within the Star Sea?
While pondering.
A thought suddenly popped into Zhang Fusheng's mind.
If I remember correctly
"The Flame Mountain was originally a fire brick from the Eight Trigrams Furnace."
"That fire is the [Six Ding Divine Fire]."
His expression grew even more solemn. His Great Strength Ox Demon Body, upon entering the realm, could already conjure the [Flame Mountain].
According to the Dharma Scripture, after achieving Minor Accomplishment or even Great Accomplishment, one can even truly materialize a Flame Mountain —a version weakened many times over.
But what if you add the Six Ding Divine Fire into it yourself?
"Does that mean it will really become the Flame Mountain?"
Zhang Fusheng swallowed hard. The real Flame Mountain was a place even the Monkey Brother could stop.
His thoughts were complex as he quietly waited for the Savage Wilderness aura emanating from the Great Strength Ox Demon Body cultivation in the room to dissipate.
He then got up, opened the door, and sat on the sofa to wait quietly.
Time ticked by, and explosions echoed through the city, suggesting the conflict was escalating rapidly.
He didn't care and simply continued to wait quietly.
It's almost night.
'Knock knock knock!'
There was a knock on the door.
