Chapter 423: Chapter 177: In a Flash Through Spring and Autumn, Six Grand Generals of the Demon Hunt, Treading Immortal to Attain Celestial Being, Fuyao Crosses the River West! (Part 3)
Ye Xuan, Qing Shan Taoist, and the other six, finally displayed their talents in creating a true method. Under the blessing of the ’Human World Demonstration Dao’, it’s not an exaggeration to say,
they have even surpassed most of the Dragon Tiger Realm masters, having the potential to challenge the Peak of the Primordial Pill.
What is the ’Celestial Human Realm’?
I am the heavens and the earth, I am the four corners; one needs to possess the heart of a Grandmaster to make their Divine Soul powerful enough to influence reality!
Being able to create your own method, that kind of courage...
is certainly enough!
Goodwill has been achieved, strength has been acquired, ambition has been cultivated.
When these three qualities gather in one person, it has the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, enough to be trusted and utilized!
Looking at these Mountain and River Sect disciples, the light in their eyes is restrained, no longer murky. Jixia pondered for a moment and then said:
"I am now establishing a new force, named ’Demon Hunting Department’, taking on the position of Director."
"Since all my senior brothers have grasped true methods and possess the signs of a Grandmaster, establishing branches shouldn’t pose much difficulty."
"Therefore..."
"I hereby appoint the six senior brothers as ’Demon Hunter Generals’ to proceed to the six prefectures of Tongye State and establish ’Demon Hunting General Mansions’!"
"Although conditions are limited now, it is likely to build a mountain stronghold somewhere, or set up a post in some city, but I firmly believe that it won’t be long before the Demon Hunting Department will grow to a scale that catches the attention of the entire world!"
"Because..."
"Not to mention anything else, even without the Primordial Spirit Nirvana Skill, the six secret Primordial Pill skills alone, who in the world would know and not covet them?"
"Thus, all heroes of the world will fall into my net!!"
A ’clash in the city’.
Excitedly, the six generals transformed from Mountain and River Sect members to ’Demon Hunter Generals’ and head to the six prefectures.
As for Jixia...
He remains in this city, observing the world from a leaf in autumn, while keeping a low profile to avoid pursuit.
Meanwhile, he plays chess with the ’elder’ newly moved into the backyard, transforming the accumulation in his Divine Soul.
Days pass one by one.
News from Nirvana Mountain has already spread.
Upon hearing that a Grotto Heaven is opening, many local forces from Tongye State and even nearby areas, filled with a mix of people, all want to explore it.
However, the area above the mountainside seems to overlap with the Grotto Heaven, combined with Zuo Shanhe’s methods, making it impossible for common folk to ascend.
Unless one reaches the Zhenren Level.
Or if cultivation revives once more, causing the cracks of the Grotto Heaven to fully open and descend upon the human world...
Otherwise, it won’t open.
This secret will be forever buried within.
Meanwhile.
Jixia occasionally looks in the direction of the Divine Capital, recalling the rumors he previously heard about Luo Fuyao.
Several times he has had the urge to go and rescue Luo Fuyao.
But in the end, he regretfully shakes his head:
"Forget it, she hasn’t said anything, why am I being overly sentimental here..."
Months of caring and comforting.
Suddenly gone.
Plus, he finally lowered his guard...
Indeed, it’s hard to adapt.
Until, that Jade Pendant left by Luo Fuyao, allegedly related to the ’Grotto Heaven’, begins to heat up, revealing words...
Looking at the ’graceful’ words on it, Jixia’s eyes lit up, he couldn’t help but grip tighter:
"You want to abandon everything and come find me?"
"Asking if I’m afraid..."
"Heh."
"With the name of assassinating King Yin, the name of killing my biological mother, haven’t I borne enough sins already."
"In my Demon Hunting Department, there isn’t anyone in the world we wouldn’t accept, let alone..."
"You, Luo Fuyao?"
Jixia snickered, then responded, feeling instantly uplifted, even the barriers in his Divine Soul ’cracked’ slightly, loosening the chains.
Click, click, click.
With his hands behind his back, walking on the grass.
The breeze pressing by, some inexplicable thoughts spontaneously arise.
Causing the elder next door to him, pinching chess pieces, to quietly wait for him, stopping slightly.
After a long time, he sighed:
"Truly a genius."
"In chess Dao."
"And in cultivation."
"It’s all like so..."
...
Meanwhile, in Fuyao State, Princess’s Mansion!
With a ponytail and dressed lightly, Luo Fuyao gazes far at ’Changbai Mountain’, sailing lightly across the West Sea, intending to enter Tongye Wei River from Fuyao to seek Jixia.
Only a maid accompanies her.
The maid appears helpless:
"Your Highness, the Military Saint said, as long as you marry into the Yellow Dragon Dao, lend him a hundred thousand loose troops, he will surely be able to conquer the Divine Capital, washing away the shame of thirty years ago when Great Profound was annihilated, with its royal family restored."
"Since his rise, Yellow Dragon Dao has battled south and north, never married, known as ’Heaven-Soaring General’, he’s a formidable hero of the age, occupying a state, supported by a Grotto Heaven, his foundation apparently firm."
"How come you don’t fancy him?"
The lone boat sails, stirring continuous ripples on the vast waves.
The boat keeps heading west, drawing closer to Tongye State.
With her long black hair flowing in the wind, standing at the boat’s front.
Upon hearing the maid’s words.
She turns back towards the Divine Capital, towards Fuyao State, and the path she came by, silent for a long while:
"Why must I bear these burdens?"
She sighs and then touches the heating Jade Pendant on her chest, looking forward toward the gorge, witnessing the sun gradually rising, amid the tumultuous waves and wild winds, she remains resolutely unmoved, her eyes shining brightly:
"No matter how excellent others are, or what they wish me to do, what does it have to do with me?"
"I also want to live for myself."
