Chapter 1 An Unfamiliar Disciple

On Mount Fangcun, the two most important Daoist palaces are the Divine Immortal Palace and the Three Realms Palace. The Divine Immortal Palace is similar to the Immortal Devil Palace in the Shennong Dojo, containing numerous Daoist scriptures. The Three Realms Palace holds the most supreme mystical techniques of the Three Realms, accumulated by Patriarch Bodhi over countless years. All of them are ranked among the top hundred great divine powers in the Three Realms. Obtaining just one and mastering it would be enough to roam the Three Realms unhindered.

However, to acquire a mystical technique from the Three Realms Palace, one must first obtain a mystical technique from the ninth level of the Divine Immortal Palace and then receive Patriarch Bodhi's permission to select a technique from the Three Realms Palace.

"Junior Brother, take your time to look around. If you need anything, you can find me. I'm on the mountain. Just ask anyone," Jiang Jun said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Jiang Xuan said gratefully.

"It's nothing." Jiang Jun then floated away. He had long passed the stage of learning skills and had even reached the level of a Pure Yang True Immortal. He continued to stay on Mount Fangcun, partly because he liked the peace and tranquility of Mount Fangcun, and partly because he could occasionally listen to Patriarch Bodhi's lectures.

After all, at his level, his aspiration was to become a Dao Ancestor, the true pinnacle of the Three Realms. All cultivators in the world aimed for that level.

However, breaking through to become a Dao Ancestor was simply too difficult. Jiang Jun's foundation was already sufficient, but to break through to become a Dao Ancestor, he had to comprehend a Heavenly Dao, which was the greatest obstacle preventing countless cultivators from reaching the ancestral immortal realm of Qi refining.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan was standing in a certain place on Mount Fangcun. Not far in front of him was the Three Realms Palace. However, from the outside, it looked like an ordinary pavilion, only about ten zhang tall.

Outside the pavilion, a thin old man was lying there, sleeping, with a fan placed on his chest. His snoring was so loud that Jiang Xuan, without using any cultivation, could still hear it clearly from a distance.

If Jiang Xuan remembered correctly, this person should be Daoji, also known as the famous Jigong in the legends of the Three Realms, a true great meritorious person. Jiang Xuan used his divine sense to observe with his eyes and could see a golden light of merit like a great sun, almost blinding him.

In contrast, he only had a thin layer of golden light, which he only obtained after killing a great sinner. For a long time before that, he had been ordinary, with only wisps of clear air around him.

It should be known that the greater the merit, the more one is loved by heaven and earth, and even the difficulty of tribulation would be much smaller. With a golden light of merit at the level of his Senior Brother Daoji, he could probably pick up treasures with every few steps he took in the Three Realms.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan could not help but feel envious, but there was nothing he could do. Daoji's name was known throughout the Three Realms. He had done countless good deeds and persisted for a long time. Even the Buddhist and Daoist sects wanted to invite him to join because he had great merit that could suppress luck.

As for the other side of the Three Realms Palace, it was the Divine Immortal Palace. Jiang Xuan was now walking in that direction. He didn't have too many thoughts about the mystical techniques in the Divine Immortal Palace. Instead, it was the Three Realms Palace that made him envious.

However, to enter the Three Realms Palace, he had to pass the test on the ninth level of the Divine Immortal Palace. He had no choice but to come here first.

"Who is this person? I've never seen him before."

"I haven't seen him either. He might have just arrived on the mountain."

"I saw Grandmaster Jiang bringing him to familiarize himself with Mount Fangcun before. He might be a disciple accepted by Grandmaster Jiang."

Outside the Divine Immortal Palace, there were creatures from various races, including humans, demons, and gods. They were discussing among themselves, obviously not knowing Jiang Xuan at all, and thought he was a new disciple accepted by Jiang Jun.

"Silence."

Just then, a handsome man in a white robe, holding a white feather fan, appeared at the main entrance of the Divine Immortal Palace, and sternly shouted at the noisy ordinary disciples of Mount Fangcun.

Immediately, there was silence. All the humans, great demons, and gods in the open space quieted down. The handsome man in front of them was a well-known great villain from ancient times, who had once attracted karmic fire from the heavens, but even the karmic fire could not do anything to him. He was an extremely terrifying demon.

Moreover, he was also the one who liked to exploit the ordinary disciples of Mount Fangcun the most. Many disciples of Mount Fangcun secretly called him a great demon. Although he knew this, he was not angry at all, and even gladly accepted it, thereby intensifying his exploitation of everyone.

"Junior Brother Jiang Xuan." The handsome man smiled and nodded at Jiang Xuan, "My name is Yin Yue. You can just call me Senior Brother. I already know about your matter."

"Jiang Xuan greets Senior Brother," Jiang Xuan said. He naturally knew the name Yin Yue, even without his previous life's memories.

This was an ancient great demon who once had a fierce reputation that made countless creatures fear him. However, for some reason, he was now very willing to stay on Mount Fangcun and live this leisurely life.

Hiss—

When Yin Yue Heavenly God spoke with Jiang Xuan, the other ordinary disciples were stunned. They thought Jiang Xuan was Jiang Jun's disciple, but who would have thought that Jiang Xuan was actually a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi!

"Senior Brother, I want to challenge the ninth-level puppet."

Jiang Xuan chatted with Yin Yue Heavenly God for a while and also learned about the test of the Divine Immortal Palace. Yin Yue didn't find this strange, because he also knew that Jiang Xuan had been staying in the Shennong Dojo before.

Every Dao Ancestor's dojo was a similar place of Daoist scriptures, and some of the tests were very similar. Jiang Xuan also asked him some questions, so it was not surprising that he said this.

However, this still stunned Yin Yue Heavenly God, not only him, but even those ordinary disciples were stunned at this moment.

After a brief silence, everyone began to transmit messages frantically.

"Ninth-level puppet?! This newly arrived Little Grandmaster is too confident, right?"

"Perhaps Little Grandmaster doesn't know the terror of the ninth-level puppet. He might fail later."

"Yes, that's a ninth-level puppet that even a Celestial Immortal might not be able to defeat. Although Little Grandmaster is a Dao Ancestor's disciple, he will definitely be able to defeat the ninth-level puppet in the future, but he has only just arrived at Mount Fangcun. It won't be easy to win."

Those ordinary disciples were transmitting messages and discussing. At this moment, Yin Yue Heavenly God also recovered and looked at Jiang Xuan. After a moment, he said, "Are you sure, Junior Brother?"

Yin Yue Heavenly God knew Jiang Xuan and had previously chatted with Daoji. According to Daoji, Jiang Xuan would be Patriarch Bodhi's true heir, highly valued by Patriarch Bodhi.

But even so, challenging the ninth-level puppet after only just arriving at Mount Fangcun was too unbelievable. Even though Jiang Xuan had also stayed in the Shennong Dojo before, he also knew from Jiang Xuan that Jiang Xuan had previously studied under Fairy Qingfan and learned the art of medicine, which had nothing to do with fighting.

"Senior Brother, don't worry. I have already defeated the ninth-level puppet in the Shennong Dojo before. Even if the ninth-level puppet of Mount Fangcun is too powerful, I probably won't lose too badly," Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Yin Yue Heavenly God stared at Jiang Xuan for a moment, then smiled and said, "Haha, since Junior Brother is so confident, Senior Brother will naturally help you."

With that, he also waved his hand and released a puppet, its aura fierce, only stronger than the ninth-level puppet of the Shennong Dojo.

Everyone watched expectantly, but the next scene stunned everyone.

The ninth-level puppet fought against Jiang Xuan, but couldn't even touch Jiang Xuan's body. They were competing in the understanding of the Dao. Jiang Xuan's learning focused on the Dao of the saber, time, and space, and he also had three great secret techniques, with extraordinary methods. Although this ninth-level puppet was strong, it was still crushed by him.

After only a dozen moves, Jiang Xuan lost interest. The ninth-level puppet of Mount Fangcun was indeed stronger, but only to a limited extent. It had no effect on sharpening him, so he no longer wasted time.

"Amazing! Amazing!" Yin Yue Heavenly God exclaimed, "Junior Brother was only brought back by the Master a few days ago, and only officially appeared in Mount Fangcun today, but he directly defeated the ninth-level puppet. Truly remarkable!"

Not to mention those ordinary disciples who were completely stunned, even Yin Yue Heavenly God could only exclaim in amazement. With his vision, he could naturally see that Jiang Xuan was at ease, and the ninth-level puppet couldn't hurt him at all. Jiang Xuan's understanding of the Dao had reached an extremely deep level, truly comparable to a Celestial Immortal.

"Senior Brother, you flatter me."

When he was in the Shennong Dojo, he had hidden some of his strength, but he didn't here. With his strength, it was naturally easy to defeat this ninth-level puppet, and there was nothing to be proud of.

Jiang Xuan appeared very calm, but the other disciples on Mount Fangcun were different. When he entered the Divine Immortal Palace to choose a mystical technique, the news of his defeat of the ninth-level puppet spread throughout Mount Fangcun. Everyone knew that there was a new Little Grandmaster on Mount Fangcun, and one who was a peerless evildoer!

In the Divine Immortal Palace, Jiang Xuan saw more mystical techniques. Different from the Shennong Dojo, the mystical techniques on Mount Fangcun were all collected by Patriarch Bodhi. They included methods from Buddhism, Daoism, and many other Dao Ancestors, encompassing everything. Each one was a peerless method.

Jiang Xuan also chose a saber formation from among them, created by an ancestral immortal Dao Ancestor of the Three Realms, belonging to the Qi refining method. This was what he prepared for his second primordial spirit, but of course, his main body could also use it.

"With my current divine sense strength, it's best to have nine immortal-grade supreme-quality flying sabers as the formation eyes, and the others can be ordinary immortal-grade flying sabers, or even heaven-grade supreme-quality flying sabers are enough."

The saber formation that Jiang Xuan chose was called the *Qianjue* Saber Formation (Thousand Annihilation Saber Formation). In addition to the nine flying sabers serving as the formation eyes, it was also divided into ten levels. Each time it was upgraded by one level, it required one hundred and eight flying sabers to form a level of the saber formation.

Of course, Jiang Xuan naturally wanted to prepare the best. Fortunately, flying sabers and flying swords were mostly sold in sets, otherwise, so many immortal-grade flying sabers would not be enough even if he squeezed himself dry.

"Find some time to refine some pills, and then exchange them with the other senior brothers." Jiang Xuan had asked Yin Yue Heavenly God. He also had many flying saber treasures, but it was impossible to directly take out a set of the *Qianjue* Saber Formation. After all, although he had many treasures, it was impossible for all of them to be immortal-grade flying sabers. It would be good if he had a few sets. More than a thousand sabers were simply too many.

Of course, the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi were now at least Heavenly Gods and True Immortals, each of them rich in resources. If one person couldn't gather enough, finding a few more would definitely be enough.

……

"Second Senior Brother." After choosing the *Qianjue* Saber Formation, Jiang Xuan left the Divine Immortal Palace and headed towards the Three Realms Palace.

From a distance, he could hear Daoji's snoring.

Of course, Jiang Xuan knew that this Senior Brother Daoji had inherited Patriarch Bodhi's method of Dreaming of the Three Realms. Don't look at him sleeping at this moment, but in reality, his incarnations were always wandering in the Three Realms. Not only had he left behind countless inheritances, but even many secrets in the Three Realms could not be hidden from him.

On Mount Fangcun, the first person was Hou Yi, who shot down nine suns in the past, and killed a True God Dao Ancestor with an arrow as a Heavenly God. As for the second person, it was the one in front of him, Daoji, who had long comprehended the Heavenly Dao and become a top Dao Ancestor.

"Who's calling me?" In front of Jiang Xuan, the lying thin old man rubbed his nose, opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Jiang Xuan, and said with a smile, "You're the disciple that Master just accepted, Jiang Xuan from the Shennong lineage?"

"That's right."

Jiang Xuan replied. Daoji was very strong and also mastered Dreaming of the Three Realms. He was the first among the many disciples of Mount Fangcun to know about Jiang Xuan's matter. Even Hou Yi knew about it after him.

"Amazing, ah, I didn't expect you to come to my Three Realms Palace only a few days after entering the mountain." Daoji smiled, very kindly, his gaze making people feel calm, "Go in, you can choose any of the mystical technique scriptures in the Three Realms Palace, but the Dao cannot be lightly passed on, you need to pass some simple tests to learn it."

"Junior Brother understands."

Jiang Xuan said, he actually already had a goal. The mystical techniques in the Three Realms Palace were also divided into levels. The tests for the most supreme level required a lot of time, but what he wanted didn't require that much time, but it was the most suitable for him.

Watching Jiang Xuan walk into the pavilion, Daoji's drowsy eyes had a hint of light: "This Little Junior Brother, to have entered the Dao of Time and Space at such a young age… Tsk tsk, truly amazing! No wonder Master accepted him as a disciple."

He naturally knew what Patriarch Bodhi was best at. Precisely because of this, after seeing Jiang Xuan, he knew why his master would be moved. To have entered the Dao of Time and Space at such an age, his talent was truly monstrous.

While Daoji was sighing, Jiang Xuan also entered this pavilion. In the pavilion, there were three scattered long tables, and each table had a simple scripture book placed on it, but all together there were only nineteen books.

After all, the truly top mystical techniques of the Three Realms were all secrets of various parties, and those Dao Ancestors watched them closely, even preserving them in places that isolated the Heavenly Dao. Under normal circumstances, apart from the Buddhist and Daoist sects, it would be impressive for a Dao Ancestor to have three or four types. Patriarch Bodhi didn't belong to Buddhism or Daoism, nor did he rule over one side of the world, so it was already rare for him to independently obtain nineteen types.

Jiang Xuan looked through them one by one. The mystical techniques included *Zhu Long's Eye*, *Thunder God's Eye*, *Hou Yi's Archery*, *Eight Nine Arcane Art*, *Xingtian's World-Destroying Axe*, *Vairocana Corpse*, *Buddha Kingdom in the Palm*, *Dreaming of the Three Realms*, and *Universe in the Sleeve*.

As for secret techniques, formations, and so on, there were a total of ten types.

Jiang Xuan's goal was very clear, he directly opened the *Thunder God's Eye* scripture and saw the corresponding test: "Remove the weeds within a hundred *li*, can be learned."

"As expected, the test is very simple."

Jiang Xuan thought, although this weeding couldn't use cultivation, it was estimated to take about a month, but relatively speaking, this test was indeed too simple.

His goal was this *Thunder God's Eye*. It was also a great divine power ranked among the top hundred in the Three Realms. Once cultivated, when the divine eye was used, it could see ghosts and the netherworld. Everything would be hidden from this divine eye, and when cultivated to the extreme, it could even control the Violet Sky Divine Thunder, which even Heavenly Gods and True Immortals couldn't resist.

Of course, Jiang Xuan also wanted the other eight types of divine powers very much, but the tests for some of those divine powers were very difficult and required a long time to complete. It was estimated that there was no chance within a year.

However, he remembered that the test for *Zhu Long's Eye* was also very simple, and he estimated that he would also learn *Zhu Long's Eye* later.

After all, the Jiang Xuan of the Perfect World was now condensing the martial arts Heavenly Eye. If he could learn these two top pupil techniques of the Three Realms, and then supplement them with the Suanni secret technique and other thunder Dao secret techniques, perhaps he could also create a supreme thunder Dao divine power secret technique.
