Chapter 202 - 231: Super Grade! Immortal Golden Body 4th Revolution! Black Lotus Sect, Savior Immortal Elder
Deep within the mysterious cave.
Wang Zhengxin, the Vice Sect Master of the Celestial Net Sword Sect, sat cross-legged in the void, gazing at the scene around him—a veritable forest of hell.
His Heart Spirit was in a daze, his eyes trembling.
At this moment, although no chains bound his body, fear and shock had shackled his Heart Spirit.
’I never imagined that deep beneath the Great Xia Prison, there would be such a mysterious cave.’
’And inside this cave is a prison so astonishing!’
’Even a Dao Palace Realm expert couldn’t possibly escape!’
Wang Zhengxin looked at the infamous Dao Palace Realm Demons from the Five Demonic Sects not far from him—Xiang Wentian, Lady Xuan Yin, a brawny, red-haired man, and others.
He was filled with both shock and a trace of relief!
’That Great Xia Boxing Saint captured these Demons, brought them in, and immediately bound them with black chains.’
’But even though I was also captured, I haven’t been chained up and subjected to the same fate.’
’What does this mean? It clearly means that the Great Xia Boxing Saint only imprisoned me to vent his anger for a moment. He doesn’t classify me as a Demon.’
’That’s right! I, Wang Zhengxin, have practiced the Martial Dao for over eight hundred years. While I wouldn’t dare boast that I’ve never made a mistake, my character is upright. Throughout my life, my actions have left me with a clear conscience.’
’I may not be a first-class saint, but I’ve certainly never committed any heinous deeds!’
’What do I have to be afraid of!’
At this thought, Wang Zhengxin couldn’t help but straighten his back.
A hint of Vast Energy seemed to gather between his brows.
In that instant, his mind cleared, and his thoughts became sharp.
’The Great Xia Boxing Saint administers celestial punishment, so he must be a reasonable person.’
’When he wakes from his meditation, I’ll have a good talk with him.’
’Worst case scenario, I’ll offer some flattering words, swallow my pride, and beg a little.’
’He’ll definitely let me go!’
As he thought this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Wang Zhengxin’s face.
Full of confidence, he glanced to his side.
A figure in white robes sat cross-legged in the void, tall and straight!
It was the Lord of Heavenly Punishment, the Great Xia Boxing Saint who had captured him.
Wang Zhengxin now just had to wait for Su Bai to open his eyes again, and then he would explain everything clearly.
By his estimation, this method had at least a seventy percent chance of success.
Just as Wang Zhengxin was lost in thought, a strange ripple suddenly emanated from the distance.
It was as if a string of the Great Dao between heaven and earth had been plucked.
Wang Zhengxin fixed his gaze.
He saw that not far away, Su Bai, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, had at some point become completely shrouded in a hazy golden mist...
THUMP! THUMP!
From within the golden mist, a heartbeat like the pounding of a war drum echoed out. The mist began to churn violently, as if gestating something.
Just as he squinted, considering whether to probe with his Divine Thoughts, an indescribable, vast, and ancient aura erupted from the pale golden mist.
It spread with incredible speed!
In the next breath, his heart pounded, and his dark brown eyes contracted violently!
Wang Zhengxin witnessed a scene so terrifying it would be seared into his memory for eternity.
A terrifying golden Divine Dragon, its scales like Golden Jade and its length immeasurable, emerged from the golden mist.
It slowly revealed its head.
An utterly terrifying pressure, like a tornado washing over him, plastered Wang Zhengxin’s robes and hair tightly against his skin!
It even seemed to seep into his flesh, stinging with a sharp pain.
The golden Divine Dragon moved slowly.
It stirred the boundless power of the heavens and the earth.
The entire void of the prison began to vibrate violently, rippling like the surface of water and emanating a majestic pressure.
The golden Divine Dragon’s enormous body had, at some point, filled the entire depths of the cave.
Its massive form coiled around Wang Zhengxin, circle after circle.
Before the golden Divine Dragon, the convicts hanging from chains in the void were less than insignificant insects.
In terms of both size and aura,
the difference between them was immeasurable.
The golden Divine Dragon coiled at the very top of the cave, its head slightly lowered.
It looked down upon Wang Zhengxin.
Slowly, it opened its eyes.
The instant its eyelids parted,
the entire cave was flooded with brilliant light!
All darkness and Demon Evil Qi seemed to vanish in that moment, as if two scorching suns were slowly rising within this space.
But before the two suns could ascend to their zenith,
the Divine Dragon, as if exhausted, slowly closed its eyes.
The light faded.
The depths of the cave returned to their usual gloom, and the Demon Evil Qi seemed several times denser than before!
It was nearly impossible to see anything.
In the darkness, only the dragon’s scales glimmered with faint golden light.
Soon, even that golden radiance vanished.
The entire cave returned to normal.
The golden Divine Dragon, too, had disappeared without a trace.
Wang Zhengxin’s neck was stiff, his entire body frozen in place.
Inch by inch, he moved his gaze...
And then he saw it.
The figure in white robes had reappeared in its original spot.
It sat there quietly, as if it had never moved at all.
In Wang Zhengxin’s heart, a monstrous wave crashed instantly!
At this moment,
only a single thought churned wildly in his mind!
’Discussing my release with this senior...’
’Perhaps I should put that off for a while.’
’Actually... staying here...’
’...is quite nice.’
...
’After breaking the five million Experience Points mark, the Immortal Golden Body has finally transformed again!’
’Did the Cultivation Technique’s rank advance to Super Grade?’
’After advancing, it even gained a new Divine Technique transformation—the ability to turn into a golden True Dragon, increasing my Physique several times over.’
’Unfortunately, the amount of True Qi required to use this Divine Technique is simply enormous.’
’Just moving around a little and opening my eyes consumed forty percent of my True Qi. That’s honestly a bit much...’
Su Bai muttered to himself, carefully sensing the profound changes brought by the [Fourth Immortal Golden Body Transformation].
On his information panel, the Immortal Golden Body’s transformation was complete.
[Cultivation Technique: Fourth Immortal Golden Body Transformation! (Super Grade!) Realm: Returning to the Essence (130,000)]
What he didn’t know, however,
was that the simple act of lifting his eyelids
had already caused yet another commotion throughout the entire Xia Imperial City!
At this moment, the evening sun was sinking toward the horizon, about to disappear behind the mountains.
It was like an old man who, having finished his performance, was slowly walking off stage.
But somehow, that dim setting sun, as if injected with infinite Life Force,
actually climbed back up from the west to blaze in the sky!
It was as scorching as the midday sun!
Before the astonished people in the city could even react,
the midday sun reverted to a setting sun, its light instantly weakening.
Like a hunched-over old man, it coughed and made its exit.
When people looked up,
the sky once again showed a lazy dusk scene with birds soaring high.
This made many people pinch their own cheeks, wondering if what they had just seen was a dream or a hallucination.
For ordinary people, it was just a fleeting dream, as illusory as a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, and they soon paid it no mind.
But for certain existences, it was no less than a cataclysmic flood!
Deep within the Great Xia Imperial City, on the lowest level of the Emperor’s Guard Hall.
Inside a simple grand hall.
The Great Sect Elder, his black hair draped over his shoulders, was sitting cross-legged in the center, deep in meditation and cultivation.
At a certain moment, a strange ripple slowly spread from the void.
The Great Sect Elder, deep in his cultivation, was startled by this wisp of aura!
Slowly, he opened his eyelids.
"This aura..."
The next moment, his expression turned solemn, and he vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the Imperial City.
At this moment, the evening sun hung in the sky, and everything seemed normal.
But his eyes were fixed on a certain direction, his weathered face showing deep emotion.
It was the direction of the Great Xia Prison.
The Great Sect Elder’s Cultivation was profound. He could clearly sense a vast, ethereal, and anciently powerful aura churning in the depths of the prison.
But soon, that wisp of aura vanished without a trace.
It could no longer be sensed, as if it had never been there at all.
"Is it him again..."
The Great Sect Elder murmured, his face a mixture of complex emotions.
After a long while,
he stared in the direction of the prison, his eyes flashing.
Then, he let out a long, wistful sigh.
"The younger generation is truly to be feared..."
「At the same time, in the Outer Realm of the Great Xia Domain.」
In a hidden location.
The mysterious Black Lotus Sect was established here.
Inside a great hall,
a woman with her face veiled in white muslin knelt in the center, facing a humanoid statue placed before her. She kowtowed respectfully three times.
After this, her red lips parted slightly.
She murmured in a low voice.
"The Black Lotus illuminates the world, the Immortal Elder is eternal."
"The Karmic Fire is unquenchable, delivering all living beings."
...
After finishing the chant, the woman slowly pushed forward a black lotus she was holding in her hands.
She spoke, word by word.
"We invite the Immortal Elder... to descend upon this world!"
