I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 52 - 50: Song Chai Xin Comprehends ‘Demon Suppression Dao Qi’ and the Promise of the Martial Temple’s Will
At the moment, Song Chai Xin was still unaware of the tremendous upheaval his unintended actions had caused.
He gazed at the venerable statue of the ’Great Demon Hunter Master’ before him.
Actually, Song Chai Xin never imagined that he could be connected to this legendary figure from decades past.
He was unaware of this person’s name and title.
Only after ascending to the position of Wutong Leader did he learn of what a legendary entity this truly was.
When Song Chai Xin touched the statue of the ’Great Demon Hunter Master,’ the entire Martial Temple quaked.
An ethereal shadow soared, breaking through the brilliant starlight!
This shocked all the government officials, the Celestial Proud Leaders from various places of the Great Zhao, who were either contemplating legacies or had lost their souls:
"The statue of the Great Demon Hunter Master is shining brightly!"
"In Wutong Prefecture, is this Half-Demon youth really connected to the Great Demon Hunter Master?"
"How did he do it!"
There was a Leader who hadn’t received any legacy; seeing this, his heart was filled with unwillingness.
Thus, he strode forward confidently, stirring his whole body’s Qi and blood, attempting to touch the statue and see if he could be chosen by the Great Demon Hunter Master, just like Song Chai Xin.
However, with a "bang," he was repelled by an invisible barrier, staggering back more than a dozen steps, his breath unstable!
The will of the Martial Temple materialized into a hazy silhouette, appearing beside the closed-eyed Song Chai Xin, pacing:
"Entering the Martial Temple, unbeknownst to you, will you become entangled with the psychic auras of nearly a hundred statues."
"If any of the Great Sages or enshrined figures are destined for you, a sense will naturally arise in your heart, guiding you closer."
"Yet if there’s no destiny,"
"How can it be forced?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The three sacred places of the Divine Capital: Lingxiao Pavilion, Military Family Martial Temple, Washing Ink Pool.
Among them, the Military Family Martial Temple, where the Divine Thoughts of nearly a hundred Great Sages gather in one place, having nurtured intelligence over decades.
Unless there is an edict from the Empress or a decree from the Lingxiao Pavilion, no one’s orders would be heeded by the will of the Martial Temple.
Though it cannot leave this small place, its status is extremely high.
When it looked at Song Chai Xin, there was, unusually, an emotional fluctuation:
"The legacy of the Great Demon Hunter Master, could it be the ’Demon-Slaying Dragon-Tiger Returning-to-Truth Skill’?"
"Or the ’Ten Extremes Breaking Eight Techniques’?"
"Or perhaps... is it his supreme constitution, the ’Prison-Suppressing King Body’?!"
Logically,
The strand of legacy a Martial Arts Leader receives is extremely weak and would never be some profound and unfathomable legacy.
But decades of birthed intelligence had never seen anyone able to touch the statue of the ’Great Demon Hunter Master.’
But this time, it was indeed the first one!
So, it couldn’t help but harbor expectations.
After all, this was its entire world.
As a Great Sage who had left the most legendary mark here, how could he not revere and respect?
[The goodwill of the will of the Martial Temple towards you has increased from a chance encounter in Jianghu to loyalty and camaraderie!]
[You touched the statue of the Great Demon Hunter Master and didn’t detect the so-called Divine Thought, yet this statue of the Great Sage seems to have chosen you.]
[You received an epiphany, gaining a strand of Dao Qi: ’Demon Suppression’ Dao Qi!]
There are many bizarre and extraordinary treasure lands in the world, with varying grades of Qi collection.
Martial Artists divide them into: Foundation Establishment Qi, Famous Sect Qi, True Sect Qi, Dao Qi, and the ’Grotto Heaven Immortal Qi’ not found in the Northwest Great Zhao.
After the Circulation Qi Collection and the opening of the inner vision, the foundation is not fixed.
If one can collect higher-grade ’Qi,’ they can gradually transform and enhance their foundation, slowly acquiring all sorts of incredible capabilities.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Qi can only support breakthroughs.
Famous Sect Qi can elevate the Qi collection grade, making the foundation more stable.
Going a level higher, such as ’Green Blood and Blue Ink Qi,’ can even enhance the comprehension of Fist Dao, gaining insight into the Orthodox Fist Dao.
But that’s not all.
True ’Dao Qi’ can fundamentally and gradually improve a person’s constitution!
As long as methods that strengthen ’Dao Qi’ are followed, even a body suffering from the Five Labors and Seven Injuries can step by step transform into a Spirit Body, Profound Body, or King Physique!
With a ’King-level’ aptitude, not to mention the Grotto Heaven Immortal Dao and high-level spell experts, is rarely seen in the world of the secular kingdoms.
Originally, Song Chai Xin’s strand of ’Jiao Dragon Spirit Blood’ couldn’t even be called Spirit-level, rather inadequate.
This disparity would grow even larger on his cultivation journey to the Vajra Body, compared to those true Celestial Prides.
However...
After inheriting this strand of ’Demon Suppression’ Dao Qi in the Martial Temple,
his life now held endless possibilities!
[Demon Suppression Dao Qi can discern the essence of living beings and refine the dormant energy within them, strengthening the Dao Breath.]
[All living entities, whether humans, demons, ghosts, anomalies, or undead creatures, have ’morning’ and ’dusk’ Qi.]
[Morning Qi is Yang, performing righteous and openly bright deeds grants Morning Qi to protect the body.]
[Dusk Qi is Yin, committing countless killings or evil deeds entangles one in Dusk Qi.]
[Both are forms of ’Human Qi.’]
[With Demon Suppression Dao Qi, by devouring Dusk Qi, one can enhance their root constitution and evolve divine techniques.]
[Current Demon Suppression Dao Qi: one strand, at a certain level, can undergo transformation.]
A strand of mysterious Dao Qi quietly merged into Song Chai Xin’s body in an unseen corner.
However, as the spirit of the Martial Temple, the will of the Martial Temple was greatly alarmed:
"Song Chai Xin, what exactly did you gain from the Great Demon Hunter Master!"
"Was that a strand of ’Dao Qi’?!"
The cracked voice could only be heard clearly by Song Chai Xin himself, not passing beyond six ears.
The cultivation techniques, divine techniques, and constitution it guessed at were actually just rambling.
If a Divine Thought legacy could indeed be so heaven-defying,
Then with nearly a hundred Great Sage statues in the Martial Temple, if they could mass-produce Celestial Prides...
Wouldn’t sects and demons have been wiped out long ago!
They originally thought this kid could only inherit a small fraction of the Great Demon Hunter Master’s knowledge.
Who would have thought he could cultivate the core, most core thing!
’Demon Suppression’ Dao Qi!
Others might not know, but sitting here, it knows countless secret insights; how could it not understand what this represents?
How did the Great Demon Hunter Master’s ’Prison-Suppressing King Body’ come to be?
It was cultivated using this Demon Suppression Dao Qi!
No one knows where he obtained this Dao Qi from, perhaps by chance or through innate Qi from birth.
But it’s undeniable,
If there hadn’t been this initial ’Dao Qi,’
Perhaps the future achievements of the Great Demon Hunter Master...
Would be significantly diminished!
"Half-Demon, Demon Suppression Dao Qi..."
The will of the Martial Temple frowned deeply, looked at the Great Demon Hunter Master’s statue, and then at you, hesitating for quite a while:
"Song Chai Xin, after you leave, remember, remember, never reveal that the inheritance you received is this strand of ’Dao Qi’."
"You must grit your teeth and deny it to the death!"
"Otherwise..."
"With your sensitive identity, how many nobles and sects do you know would covet you?"
Originally contemplating the Demon Suppression Dao Qi, Song Chai Xin was pondering how much support this inheritance could give him when he heard these words, and an instinctive shiver ran through his heart:
"Senior, what do you mean by this?"
The will of the Martial Temple had helped him multiple times, so Song Chai Xin held some affection for it.
"Collecting Qi, collecting Qi, you have Qi in you. If someone tries to collect from you, do you think they could succeed or not?"
The will of the Martial Temple let out a cold laugh.
Causing Song Chai Xin’s eyes to narrow, his sense of danger rising sharply:
"But my touching the Great Demon Hunter Master’s statue cannot be concealed, this..."
Before he could finish, he saw the vague figure before him wave a large hand, blocking off this space, not allowing outsiders to investigate:
"With me here, you just need to tightly conceal the Demon Suppression Dao Qi. As for the rest, I will naturally help cover for you."
"For decades, every Leader who received inheritance, I has reported in detail, but for you alone..."
It tightly stared at the young man in front of it:
"The one chosen by the Great Demon Hunter Master, just so happens to have no background and is still a Half-Demon."
"If you are exposed, by tomorrow experts from the Divine Capital will travel thousands of miles to take your life. Even the Master of Baoping State would not be able to protect you."
"Since I do not wish for your death, I can only lie for you this once."
"Remember, regarding the Great Demon Hunter Master, you gained nothing."
Song Chai Xin was somewhat silent:
"But such words, I may not even believe myself, senior."
The will of the Martial Temple snorted:
"You don’t know what I represent."
"What I say, they must believe!"
"But you..."
"Must remember, you are human, not a demon."
"I trust the choice of the Great Demon Hunter Master."
"This is a promise between you and me."
With that, the will of the Martial Temple looked solemnly at Song Chai Xin.
Making the young man remain silent for a moment before cupping his hands in salute:
"I naturally understand, junior."
"Thank you."
The vague figure nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, dissipating like a gust of wind.
At the same time,
The previously vibrating statue of the Great Demon Hunter Master fell silent once more.
In the eyes of Ye Huai, Lu Miaomiao, and others...
Song Chai Xin suddenly stepped back two steps, spitting blood, his face as pale as thin paper.
Then looking at the statue before him, his eyes seemed both unwilling and dejected.
Until the very last moment,
He finally, with three steps and a look back, stepped onto the Ancient Path of Reception with the Leaders of the Prefectures.
Before leaving,
Ye Huai, also from Baoping State and unable to resist his curiosity, looked at Song Chai Xin, who was glancing back towards the Martial Temple as he took his own Ancient Path of Reception, and spoke:
"Brother Song, truly a true master hidden in plain sight, to have gained the Great Demon Hunter Master’s recognition!"
"I wonder..."
"What did you comprehend from it?"
The young man clutching his chest forced a bitter smile upon hearing this:
"Just a little short, regrettably at the last moment, for some reason, the divine thought of the Great Demon Hunter Master’s statue struck me away, causing me to miss the opportunity by a hair’s breadth."
"Perhaps..."
"It’s because I carry the Jiao Blood."
"Alas."
Song Chai Xin finished speaking and bowed his head, showing a rather regretful expression, causing Ye Huai to let out an ’oh’, scratching his head in embarrassment, so he offered some words of consolation.
Song Chai Xin did not conceal these words.
The departing Leaders all heard them clearly.
It’s just,
Whether it’s true or false, it depends on what each person’s heart decides.
...
Half a quarter of an hour later, as the Ancient Path of Reception and the projection of the Mountain and River List faded away.
Illusion and reality no longer intersected.
The place where the Martial Temple was located returned to reality.
Sacrificial Officer Ge Xiu immediately broke through the threshold, entering alongside Dragon-slaying Marquis, Pei Nanbei of Baoping State, and Ye Cang:
"Will of the Martial Temple, what exactly did that Half-Demon kid receive from the Great Demon Hunter Master?"
Dragon-slaying Marquis’ sword-like eyebrows raised, his tone urgent.
"Just a Half-Demon, even if he awakened that one, what could he do?"
"Ultimately, due to his bloodline, he was thwarted at the last moment, only to return heavily injured, without any achievements or rewards."
An amorphous intelligence condensed into being and spoke softly.
"Is that really so?"
Dragon-slaying Marquis looked toward the closed Martial Temple, stepping forward, somewhat unconvinced.
"Boy, if you doubt me, then let Lingxiao Pavilion come."
"Or, report this matter and see if those distinguished officials would have suspicions about what I’ve said?"
"Could it be that I could harm the Great Zhao!"
The will of the Martial Temple snorted, no longer manifesting, directly giving a closed-door treatment to Dragon-slaying Marquis and the Martial Temple Sacrificial Officer.
This Fourth-Grade Sacrificial Officer, though nominally the Martial Temple’s chief official, in reality...
The Supreme Emperor above him, he truly couldn’t move!
Dragon-slaying Marquis was stumped, but given the significance of the matter, he turned back, intending to discuss with the two giants of Baoping State about bringing this child to the Divine Capital for further investigation.
But then...
Unbeknownst to when this occurred,
Pei Nanbei, Ye Cang, their divine thoughts, summoned under the clear sky, had already vanished without a trace.
(ps: Updated six thousand, so it was a bit late. If all goes well, it will be released next Wednesday. Remember to follow along, and then definitely an update explosion every day. For now, just a bit of a warm-up QAQ!)
