Heaven-Inviting Great Sage

Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky.

After slaughtering three thousand people, Chen Lingxi let the Black Banner devour the thick Blood Qi of the battlefield, then rode the clouds and mist, heading straight into the distance.

Heading far away to Azure Splendor Prefecture!

The reason he never returned to the Nanju Twelve Mountains was that the Purple-Robed Marquis had somehow discovered his whereabouts.

The remaining mysterious power around him is getting weaker and weaker. Once he returns to the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation, he may not be able to resist if the imperial court makes a comeback.

The Eastern King of Azure Splendor Prefecture was still alive. Unlike the last time when Total Perception Evolution, Chen Lingxi did not make a high-profile trip by breaking through the clouds with the Longevity Bridge, but instead quietly left using the Concealed Edge Method.

Even the Eastern King was unaware of his presence.

If the imperial court wants to take action in Azure Splendor Prefecture, it also needs to consider Xiao Changlü Xiao Changlü the many powerful figures under his command.

More importantly... Azure Splendor Prefecture is much closer to his next target.

And so, Chen Lingxi returned to Azure Splendor Prefecture, found a desolate mountain, carved out a cave abode, and sat cross-legged there.

His Divine Sense slowly descended into the Black Banner, where extremely mysterious and unfathomable filth Mystery Mechanism continued to flow.

The mysterious man, with an air of otherworldly grace, sat cross-legged amidst this filthy Mystery Mechanism.

The filthy Mystery Mechanism was also shrouded in a thick aura of Blood Qi, Blood Qi likely originated from the three thousand people Chen Lingxi had just killed.

At this moment, the mysterious man, with a smile on his face, sensed Chen Lingxi's Divine Sense flowing towards him. He remained silent and suddenly snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, a series of profound and indescribable messages slowly flowed into Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi's expression changed slightly.

A profound and mysterious Cultivation Method lies within it.

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged, carefully comprehending the profound Cultivation Method in his mind, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"[True Edict of Audience with the Dao]!"

"A method for physical reshaping."

Chen Lingxi's Spirit Aperture, combined with the spiritual light bestowed upon him by the mysterious person, has not yet completely faded.

His aptitude was extremely high at this moment, and he was able to digest this profound Cultivation Method very quickly.

More importantly, this method of physical reshaping is extremely extraordinary, yet it seems remarkably easy to understand.

It embodies the spirit of the four characters "[The Great Way is in the Book of Changes]".

So Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged, trying to comprehend the profound teachings contained in the True Edict of Audience with the Dao.

The True Edict of Audience with the Dao, upon closer inspection, contains a name that is rather obscure and difficult to understand.

Although this Cultivation Method is extremely profound, it is not difficult to understand. The so-called "True Edict of Audience with the Dao" means to pay homage to the Daoist Master and transform oneself.

"This method records that one can construct one's own skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs into a series of the Inner Divine Palace."

Within this palace complex, one can visualize and enshrine a powerful being or a mythical beast.

Using the aura of that powerful being and spirit beast, he transformed his own body, making it as formidable as that being and spirit beast.

"The more detailed one's understanding of that powerful being and that spirit beast, and the more detailed one's visualization, the greater the benefit to oneself."

Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered.

"It's as if there's a real dragon before me right now, soaring through the heavens, roaring through the Void, its mouth blazing with dragon flames, and its eyes shining with divine light."

I visualized this true dragon, and its skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs underwent a qualitative change. It could also ignite dragon flames in its mouth and emit divine light from its eyes. Without needing to use the method of soaring through the clouds, it could ride the clouds and fly through the nine heavens."

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, she felt that this Cultivation Method was truly too profound.

If one can cultivate this method and achieve some success, one's physical strength will inevitably become incredibly powerful. At that time, it will not be difficult for someone at the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation to fight against someone at the Qi Circulation, Eleventh Floor.

Chen Lingxi was deep in thought.

But the mysterious Daoist priest, with his otherworldly air, seemed to have already absorbed enough Blood Qi.

The smile on his face slowly faded, and he lightly flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, everything around seemed to turn into an illusion, just like ripples rising in the water, flowing and rippling in layers.

At that moment, Chen Lingxi's wisp of Divine Sense dissipated from the Black Banner.

Chen Lingxi slowly opened her eyes, sensing the Black Banner in the Hongdong Bag.

Then, his expression suddenly changed, and a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

He could clearly sense that the Black Banner in his Hongdong Bag was slowly disappearing inch by inch.

From existence to nothingness, not even scattered into ashes, but simply vanishing completely from the Hongdong Bag.

"Breaking through the Void, and departing?"

Chen Lingxi was greatly astonished. This mysterious person was far too strange, appearing silently from within the Black Banner. He had only harvested the Blood Qi of three thousand people, and this person had already departed?

"In that case, wouldn't my Thorough Awakening Divine Ability have been used for nothing?"

Chen Lingxi shook his head with some emotion. "This mysterious person has profound cultivation, yet he is also a man of his word. It is my fortuitous opportunity to have met such a person and to be able to cultivate the True Edict of Audience with the Dao."

"On the contrary, I was the one who judged him by my own petty standards."

Chen Lingxi frowned as she thought about this.

This is all too much of a coincidence.

As he sought the Slaying-Force Cauldron, the mysterious figure within the Black Banner quietly awoke, aiding him with a ray of spiritual light to wreak havoc in all directions.

Now I have so easily obtained the profound physical supernatural Divine Ability of the True Edict of Audience with the Dao, as if... all these fortuitous opportunity were waiting for him.

"Am I really the kind of person with great fortuitous opportunity described in historical novels?"

Chen Lingxi touched her chin, a smile spreading across her face.

"I won't think too much about it. I'm just a native of this Cave Heaven, and my cultivation hasn't even reached the Heavenward Realm yet. I still have to struggle for a way to survive."

How could someone as insignificant as me be worth the scheming of that mysterious person?

"However, one should always be wary of others..."

Chen Lingxi looked up at the Void, where Twin Luminous Mirrors still hung high.

"In the Total Perception Divine Chamber, I offered three thousand lives as a sacrifice for this mysterious person in order to obtain the True Edict of Audience with the Dao."

So what about in the present world?

Chen Lingxi her head and thought for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Since this person is so mysterious, if he wants to attack me, I have no power to stop him."

If that's the case, in reality, I might as well sacrifice three thousand lives for this mysterious person, but... I might as well try to bargain with him.

In exchange for other fortuitous opportunity... such as the method to leave this Cave Heaven...

Chen Lingxi up his mind and closed his eyes to carefully study the True Edict of Audience with the Dao!

"Among the True Edict of Audience with the Dao, there was also a diagram of a dharma image."

Chen Lingxi closed his eyes and pondered, but saw that the image of the Dharma was extremely blurry, only a rough outline, and the figure engraved on it was only a back view.

That silhouette radiated light, and seemed to be filled with profound mysteries.

"Heaven-Inviting Great Sage Audience-with-the-Dao Diagram..."

Chen Lingxi sensed the extremely blurry Dharma image and slowly nodded.

"If there are no powerful individuals or celestial beasts available for visualization, then one can visualize this vague Heaven-Inviting Great Sage Audience-with-the-Dao Diagram."

Although the image of the Great Sage was blurry, Chen Lingxi could still sense the immense power hidden within it, which was definitely extraordinary.

If one contemplates this image of the Great Sage, one can also transform one's physical body.

"It's just a blurry image of a back view, yet it can be used for contemplating the True Edict of Audience with the Dao. I wonder who this Heaven-Inviting Great Sage is."

If I could personally witness such a powerful being, contemplate such a powerful being, and have this Heaven-Inviting Great Sage enshrined in the Inner Divine Palace built by the True Edict of Audience with the Dao, I believe my physical cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds in a day."

"In any case, I have gained a lot from this competition for the championship."

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged in the cave abode.

The ten days of Total Perception have not yet passed in a single day.

This time, Chen Lingxi will naturally have to make a trip to the Ancestral Mountain to activate his Thorough Awakening Divine Ability.

"Yuan River Prefecture is very close to the capital. That's why I killed someone and fled to Azure Splendor Prefecture."

"I still don't know if the Great Li Court knows my location. If I go there rashly, and there are powerful figures lying in ambush, I'm afraid I'll waste this opportunity to Total Perception."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Lingxi decided to use his Wandering Sight Divine Ability.

His consciousness entered his Divine Sense, then transformed into a wisp of smoke, traveling hundreds of miles away, heading straight for the imperial palace.

Deep within the imperial palace, in that magnificent palace complex.

Emperor Daye sat on his throne, his aura somewhat weak, and he seemed to have aged a bit.

Inside the palace, the Purple-Robed Marquis and Yuan Yuan were sitting cross-legged, their eyes closed as they healed their injuries.

From Emperor Daye's perspective, the surrounding Spiritual Qi energy threads coiled and intertwined, resembling a grand array.

The two Qi and Blood cultivators sat in the center of the array, Spiritual Qi flowing into their bodies, repairing their flesh and replenishing their Qi and Blood with a unique power.

Although these two did not Qi Circulation Realm, Emperor Daye was healing them using a mysterious method.

Chen Lingxi waited patiently until the Sight-Roaming was shattered.

Chen Lingxi rested for an hour. At this time, the spiritual light and power on his body had not completely dissipated. Fearing that he might miss something, he forcibly circulated the Wandering Sight Divine Ability and Wandering Divine Power again, letting the needle-like pain in his mind fall into the Sight-Roaming.

Chen Lingxi's consciousness returned to the palace, where she heard Yuan Yuan speaking.

"That Chen Lingxi... has always concealed his abilities; his Divine Ability powers and techniques are extremely diverse, and his origins are unknown."

Yuan Yuan was not wearing a mask at this moment.

Chen Lingxi saw Yuan Yuan's face from the perspective of Emperor Daye and was immediately startled.

"Crown Prince Ying Chi?"

Chen Lingxi a deep breath.

Chen Lingxi still clearly remembered that Crown Ying Chi died at his hands, at the Nanju Twelve Mountains.

At that time, Crown Prince Ying Chi believed himself to be a Rebirth Realm person from the Southern Heaven Domain, and came here to the Truth-Seeking Realm Cauldron-Seizing Realm.

Chen Lingxi thought that the Crown Ying Chi's mind had been implanted with the memories of Zhuo Fengxiu, a cultivator from the Southern Heaven Domain, by the Emperor Daye.

Now it seems there's more to the story.

"Memory is easy to deal with. This Emperor Daye possesses Cauldron Vessel that allows him to observe and compile other people's memories, and even integrate the compiled memories into other people's minds."

But this body..."

Chen Lingxi frowned, looking at Yuan Yuan's extremely young face, and became suspicious.

"Could it be that this Emperor Daye can recreate his body?"

As he pondered, Emperor Daye slowly opened his eyes and said, "The spells this person uses all come from the people he has killed."

He has not yet revealed the Divine Ability inherited from his own sect and immortal race.

"... This person... should be treated with caution."

The white-haired Purple-Robed Marquis and Yuan Yuan, or perhaps Crown Prince Ying Chi, should be respectfully bowing.

Emperor Daye then asked, "Where is Chen Lingxi now?"

The Purple-Robed Marquis reported, "The Beast-Fighting Palace is still located in the Nanju Twelve Mountains, and has not been disturbed. It seems that Chen Lingxi left the Beast-Fighting Palace in the Nanju Twelve Mountains."

Chen Lingxi's expression shifted; just as he had expected.

It seems that people in the imperial court used some Secret Method to set up a tracking array above the Beast-Fighting Palace.

Therefore, the imperial court was able to know his location.

If it weren't for the Wandering Sight Divine Ability, he would probably still be wandering around with the Beast-Fighting Palace, and the imperial court would probably still know where he is.

"Knowing that Emperor Daye used the Beast-Fighting Palace to determine my location is all the better."

Chen Lingxi a sigh of relief.

The Purple-Robed Marquis reported this, but Emperor Daye's aged face remained unchanged.

"Just wait another two years..." Emperor Daye said slowly, his voice aged.

Yuan Yuan and the Purple-Robed Marquis listened respectfully.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the Purple-Robed Marquis and Yuan Yuan seemed to have recovered from their injuries. They stood up and respectfully took their leave.

At that moment, the woman who had been bound to the palace by Emperor Daye and who had created the three Heavenly Boat women and Consort Chun from her memories slowly opened her eyes.

He then looked at Emperor Daye in this manner.
