I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 196 - 102: Yunluan Mountain Honorary Elder, 2nd-Step Artifact "Fist Blade," and Copying the Divine Soul Visualization Image!
[You and Ruan Xiuxiu traveled tirelessly for three days, and as dusk approached, you ascended to the Yunluan Mountain gate.]
[With Ruan Xiuxiu revealing her identity, you and she passed through unhindered, entering the Yunluan Mountain Dao.]
[On the way to the 'Yunluan Courtyard' to report to one of the three Elders, the Mundane Elder Pu Zhengquan.]
[You encountered Yu Lian City, one of Yunluan Courtyard's disciples, who at the age of fifteen, in March when you ascended Yunluan Mountain, was defamed for his relationship with you and 'Song Brahman Mirror', resulting in your challenge of seventeen houses.]
[In his shocked gaze, you only gave a fleeting glance, leaving him with an 'unreachable' silhouette as you wandered away lightly.]
[You and Ruan Xiuxiu continued into the 'Yunluan Courtyard'.]
[Along the way, you encountered more disciples and followers who recognized you just like 'Yu Lian City'.]
["Where has Song Chai Xin been these past two years, to be able to walk side by side with Senior Sister Ruan Xiuxiu? This..."]
[Someone hesitated, seemingly unsure if you were the Half-Demon who once stirred Yunluan Mountain.]
["He... his whole body without flaw, his Qi circulates seamlessly, even from afar, it evokes a sense of awe; two years, from 'Golden Flesh and Jade Veins' to 'whole body without flaw', bridging the chasm between the first and second steps. How is this possible!"]
[Someone was utterly astonished, recalling past grievances with you, unable to escape anxiety and unease.]
[These disciples, whether stuck in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department or as ordinary or even Inner Disciples of the 'Yunluan Courtyard', their cultivation ranged from 'Mercury Blood Silver Marrow' to embarking on 'Circulation Qi Collection', preparing to advance to Great Innate.]
[But to you, they are all merely four words.]
[Inconsequential!]
[Some spend their lives reminiscing past failures, unable to extricate themselves.]
[But others rise from past shadows, never looking back.]
[My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, all deeds are righteous.]
[Now as Song Chai Xin, at seventeen, you ascended to the Black Mountain Guardian, ranked seventh in the government office, personally commended by State Lord 'Pei Nanbei', declaring that within the state, no true sect or Dao lineage can bully you.]
[The Prefecture Demon Hunting Department Demon Hunter was your former superior, the clan leader of the hundred-year-old Xie Clan is your maternal grandfather, the State Demon Hunter General once personally taught you, and the City Head of a city from the provincial force 'Demon-Suppressing Great Wall', labeled you as an honorary disciple!]
[Despite bearing the body of a critiqued Half-Demon, walking the Jianghu, unaware your background grows ever stronger.]
[Through winds and trials, your Dao Heart has become like iron, steadfast against others' cold stares or praise, laughing them off.]
[This is precisely the condition needed for stepping into the 'Carefree Realm', birthing the Divine Soul.]
[Along the path, your spirit begins a transformation, seemingly opening the Vajra's Furious Gaze at the Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, nurturing a type of energy distinct from 'physical body' and 'True Qi'.]
[Ruan Xiuxiu at your side seemed to sense this, though not outwardly showing it, profoundly shocked within, pondering how you could detect the inklings of 'Divine Soul Thought' shortly after breaking into Yellow Court, catching its nascent form, remaining unable to comprehend.]
[Indeed, her 'Clear Sword Heart', reputed as Profound Level aptitude, should have advanced smoothly in the second step.]
[Yet you possess 'Flood Dragon Spirit Blood', fourth-tier 'Spirit Level' aptitude, somehow progressing in cultivation at a pace she cannot fathom, leaving her, the so-called Celestial Pride, far behind.]
[Nevertheless, as someone who harbors some affection for you, Ruan Xiuxiu feels not envy, only joy seeing you advance without bottleneck.]
[Recalling the contempt you suffered at Yunluan Mountain two years ago, and the journey today where those who once insulted you dare only halt and not lift their heads, she couldn't help but puff her chest and hum lightly, stepping briskly.]
[Perhaps bringing you 'home clothed in glory', gaining Yunluan Mountain's recognition, is as joyous to Ruan Xiuxiu as surpassing Song Brahman Mirror someday.]
[Entering Yunluan Courtyard, the Mundane Elder Pu Zhengquan is hosting guests.]
[He still looks as he did years ago.]
[Upon seeing you and Ruan Xiuxiu led in by a disciple, his eyes sparkled: "Grounded Qi in Dantian forming Yellow Court, showing years of solid foundation!"]
[Pu Zhengquan strides swiftly, exclaiming: "The ordinary disciples might not know about you, but as the Third-Step Elder of the sect, I am clear on Black Mountain's situation."]
["Years ago, the Young Palace Master insisted on bringing you in because our Yunluan Mountain has always subdued demon spirits in 'Demon-locking Forest', absorbing their essence to cultivate."]
["Thus the sect's disciples naturally resent 'demon kind'."]
["But you cleared the calamity at Black Mountain, commanding respect, not holding grudges, founded 'Yunluan Daoist School', recruiting disciples, continuing the incense…"]
["These numerous matters, if announced, the chief of the Demon-locking Forest, Cui Chan, is lesser than you."]
["Xiuxiu, recognized by Yunluan Sword in Sword Viewing Forest, is lesser than you."]
["Even the contemporary Young Palace Master Song Brahman Mirror, reputed to 'vanquish evil across eight hundred miles', subduing ancient nascent demons into Demon-locking Forest, in merit, is lesser than you!"]
