Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Inside the residence of a feudal lord.

Standing beside Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, Jiang Changchi raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite shocked:

"To receive the Great Profound Qi for the first time, and to be born in just a prefecture or county, is actually able to unlock the Upper Three Fates and become a 'Dragon-Snake Descendant'!?"

You should know that even he is only a fourth-class 'wealthy and noble', belonging to the lower three classes.

Even so, within the entire Baiyujing, he was considered top-tier, deserving the title of 'descendant of a vassal king, heir to the throne'.

As a result, this remote place
Such a character has actually appeared!?
The thirty-six seats on the Young Dragon Stele have been held in every generation, but not all the outstanding individuals who occupy dozens of seats in each generation can be ranked among the top three.

Human destiny is hidden, but those who can unlock it will receive the blessing of destiny and fortune, enjoy continuous good luck, turn misfortune into good fortune, break through barriers and receive divine assistance, and cultivate themselves as smoothly as a fish in water.

However, such destinies also vary in thickness and quality.

Among the three lowest fates, the sixth is the 'Mayfly Fate'.

Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, as insignificant as grass, with shallow fates and unable to bear great fortune.

Those who are destined for this fate are mostly those whose destiny is hidden and not apparent, who will lead a mediocre life and die young, and will find it difficult to achieve great things in the path of spiritual cultivation.

Those who receive blessings of good fortune and auspicious omens will not necessarily develop a lower-grade destiny.

At the very least, it must be a fifth-grade 'light cicada' fate'.

As the saying goes, a cicada's song lasts a lifetime, but autumn is just around the corner; you and I are both striving to cross the river.

Although the cicada is weak, it still has the will to spread its wings and fly high, fighting against the sky. Its life is full of ups and downs and twists and turns, but it may not be without the day when it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly.

Many of the great geniuses who awaken their destiny for the first time, causing their hidden fortune to manifest, are among those who have attained the "Light Cicada Destiny."

Then, as his cultivation level continued to rise, he broke through limits, shattered bottlenecks, and even joined the ranks of those with titles or martial sainthood.
This is accompanied by an increase in one's own destiny, rising like a flame, gradually transforming and advancing to a higher level and rank of destiny, thus benefiting oneself.

As for going any further up...
That is the fourth-class 'wealthy and noble'!
It is also the highest of the three lower ranks, and almost 99% of the geniuses stop here.

The term "wealthy and noble" implies that only those "born with extraordinary talent and outstanding abilities" can attain such a status. Even the most accomplished disciples of the Nine Clans and Ten Pillars, or those of noble birth and high rank in the Jade Capital, are mostly like this.

Having this destiny by one's side grants one intangible good fortune, enabling one to achieve twice the results with half the effort, whether in cultivation, treasure hunting, magic practice, or combat, making one the envy of others.

Such a performer, whose career unfolds smoothly and without incident, will be taken for granted even if they achieve a prestigious title.

Mayfly, cicada, and the rich and noble!

Even the so-called "lower three lives" are a "big net" that ensnares the masses, and 99% of people cannot escape this cage.

But once these 'boundaries' can be broken...
Those belonging to the 'upper three fates' are worlds apart from those belonging to the 'lower three fates'!
As the saying goes, heroes rise from all directions in times of chaos; when people harbor murderous intent, heaven and earth are overturned.

The so-called "dragon and snake offspring" is derived from the saying "A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds."

Once such a person is destined for this fate, they will be able to receive a portion of the "aura of an emperor" from the unseen forces, causing their true nature and spirit to undergo a transformation.

As long as one is located in the Great Mysterious Heaven, one's destiny will be revealed and will no longer be hidden. One will receive the protection of Heaven, and neither the immortals nor the Arhats and Bodhisattvas can capture one!

Moreover, wherever they go, they become the center of attention and the focus of everyone's gaze.

If one is born in a prosperous era, then one is a born dragon among men, a trendsetter of the times.

They are destined to shine brightly on the long path of martial arts, and their names will be recorded in the rich history of the Great Xuan Dynasty over the past nine hundred years.

However, if one is born in a chaotic era, such a destiny naturally makes one a banner, able to gain followers without anyone noticing, establish a foundation, carve out territory, and become a 'grassroots king'!
Whether it was a pioneering effort to become king that ultimately failed, or a result of accumulated destiny that led to a transformation from a dragon to an emperor, remains to be seen.
It all depends on individual circumstances and fate.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was enough to surprise even someone as worldly-wise as Jiang Changchi, a prince of a powerful clan.

You should know that in Baiyujing, among the nine surnames and ten pillars, even princes and true heirs are mostly just 'rich and noble'.

Those who can bridge the gap between a lower and higher destiny are few and far between.

Moreover, this is only the first time it has received the 'Great Profound Qi', and it is only a nomination on the Young Dragon Stele, so it will not receive much attention.

If this child is able to inscribe characters in the Jade Capital in the future, or even reach the top of the Great Mystic Register, and pay homage to the Mystic Lord at the ancestral temple, and then receive several more blessings from the Great Mystic Qi, or perhaps obtain other opportunities and be favored by Heaven and Earth.
With such a destiny of 'dragon and snake offspring,' it's hard to guarantee that one's fortune won't surge and continue to rise!
If that's the case
That's truly remarkable.

Of the top three, the dragon-snake descendant ranks third.

And the second class
They are called 'Children of Heaven'!
It is said that every chosen one is an outstanding descendant blessed by heaven and earth, and perhaps only a few will emerge every few hundred years.

Their lives are like a script, and the world seems to be a stage built just for them.

Once it is born, various phenomena will appear and fluctuate, such as "purple aura coming from the east", "flowers falling from the sky", "fire-sprouting golden lotus", and so on, throughout history.

All of them are chosen ones born from the interaction of heaven and earth, and are transformed from their own merits and achievements.

These characters are all capable of becoming 'human immortals'!
For example, contemporary times
The Taoist priest of Zhenwu Mountain, upon ascending to the top of the Young Dragon Stele and receiving the inscription from Baiyujing, ascended to the Peach Banquet at Zhenwu Mountain, thus becoming the "Heavenly Mandate Child," which shocked the world.

This is the pinnacle of human existence. As for anything beyond that, it's just 'legend,' long since vanished into thin air and almost unheard of.

Legend has it that even if one inherits ancestral lineage and is blessed with the destiny of the sun and moon as an "emperor," one has only stepped halfway into that destiny and cannot be considered a truly first-class destiny.

Although the descendants of dragons and snakes are not as good as this, this child has the advantage of being young and having a bright future. His destiny will advance, and he has great potential.

It's not impossible for them to claim the Mandate of Heaven and dominate the world!
Thinking of this, Jiang Changchi glanced sideways at his father.

really.

At this moment, Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, had a thoughtful look in his eyes and was deep in thought.

Based on Jiang Changchi's understanding of his father, it's likely that his father has already considered finding a husband for his younger sister.

This child is over seventeen years old, but he is still young enough to dance with an elephant. He is not yet twenty, and is even two years younger than his own sister.

At this age, marriage is rare even in ordinary families, let alone for a young prodigy who has achieved success in martial arts.

Perhaps in the heat of youth, one might have concubines at home and confidantes outside.

But for people of their status, as long as they can win over the powerful Prince Yan's mansion, these minor branches are not important.

If there is no accident.

It is estimated that the next step will be for my father to inquire with this old master of the Dragon and Elephant lineage about whether this son is married.

And at this time.

As Ji Xiu cultivated auspicious omens and received blessings, he felt that his 'original spirit' sheltered within his Purple Mansion was undergoing an extremely mysterious transformation.

So much so that above the entire prince's mansion, there were overlapping signs of destiny, such as "snakes transforming into land and dragons hiding in the mist, reflecting each other's brilliance"! When the grand spectacle finally vanished without a trace, this essence gathered all the surrounding spiritual energy and poured into Ji Xiu's essence and spirit!

Half of it surged into his Purple Mansion and entered the Divine Gate, consolidating his Daoist skill of 'Primordial Spirit Astral Projection', making his foundation even more stable, and allowing him to rise several points higher once again.

The other half.
It then acts on the five internal organs, muscles, bones, skin, and membranes, making him feel unbearably hot all over, just like bathing in the 'Great Dragon Soup' on Jin'ao Island of the Heavenly Blade True Sect, or refining 'Wild Elephant Blood' at the Dragon Elephant Mountain Gate, obtaining a highly nourishing substance.

Then, in one fell swoop, following his instincts, he circulated his qi and blood and began to circulate the 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Mystic Art'!
Wow!
At this moment, Ji Xiu exuded a terrifying aura, his double pupils opened and shone with golden light, coupled with the appearance of his destiny 'Dragon and Snake Descendant', suddenly giving people a feeling of 'prominent brow bones, the appearance of a dragon has been born'.

It commands respect and inspires awe.

This child
Her appearance was so outstanding that, coupled with her destiny, she seemed to possess the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix, a countenance as bright as the sun and the moon!

The boy's white robes fluttered as if pulled by a gale, and he stood like an ancient mountain, treading on the ground of the prince's mansion. His arms seemed to capture dragons and elephants, and with each breath he exhaled...
Muscles, bones, skin, and membranes, constantly bouncing and shaking!
Each 'buzzing' vibration.
Then a feedback of increased cultivation level was transmitted!

The ordination master refined the 'Auspicious Mystic Crane Immortal Feathers' into physical sustenance and transferred the 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Mystic Technique', increasing the advance progress by +31.

[The ordained master activated the "Upper Three Destinies, Descendant of Dragons and Snakes," causing his fortune to descend, his destiny to manifest in turn, and the feedback to greatly increase his cultivation, resulting in a +34 advance payment to the Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Mystic Art.]

Ji Xiu stretched out his muscles and bones, like a giant whale swallowing and exhaling, gathering all his spiritual inspiration like the sea!

It was swallowed up in an instant and refined into its essence.
The tightly bound flesh and bones seemed to undergo another transformation; beneath the skin, within the energy, a new 'Dragon-Elephant Force' was added. If unleashed at full power...
It seems that he could wield a mighty iron cudgel like the golden monkey, smashing the sky and churning the Western Sea!
[Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique: (431/900)!]

[The one who bestows the talisman undergoes four transformations in his physical body, including the sinews, bones, skin, membranes, and five internal organs, subduing four dragons and elephants, and generating the power of the four dragons and elephants!]

Crunch.

Ji Xiu gently clenched his fist.

He felt...
I am now stronger than ever before!
Unconsciously, the young man's eyes revealed a disdainful arrogance, brimming with confidence. Even the upheaval caused by his arrival in Cangdu seemed insignificant.
In this land of Beicang, there are very few who can rival us!

Simultaneously.

The Primordial Dao Talisman trembled slightly, and a faint mysterious light rose from it.

[The conferring master replenishes the spiritual energy, filling the 'Yellow Millet Dream' Daoist talisman, thus shortening the 'entering the dream' cooldown and increasing the progress. From now on, the cooldown interval between each entry into the dream will be shortened.]

[Will the person bestowing the ordination choose genuine skills and secret treasures to comprehend their true essence and thus enter the dream realm?]

Seeing this, a flash of excitement appeared in Ji Xiu's double-pupiled golden eyes. If the scene hadn't been so inappropriate, he would have almost let out a long roar to show his delight!
The physical body undergoes four transformations, the profound skill is partially mastered, and the qi and blood are circulated, manifesting as four dragons and elephants!
That's not all; the dream of wealth and glory has already been re-entered.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu turned his gaze to the titled ultimate skill representing the era of 'Eternal Royal Power': Three Tribulations of Reincarnation.

And the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir, obtained from the Impermanent Origin Palace of All Dharmas, representing the mysterious 'Golden Elixir Dao'.
I rubbed my hands together, my heart itching with desire, wishing I could understand it all!

Unfortunately, we can only choose one option first.

"To perfect the Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique, one needs to undergo nine transformations and marrow cleansings, a complete metamorphosis, before it can be accomplished."

"I am now more than four times transformed, but I believe that my muscles and bones are no less than those powerful scions of the state who have reached the sixth transformation and the fifth major limit, and I am even better than them!"

"But these are not enough to guarantee safety."

"These powerful clans have been established in Cangdu for two or three hundred years, and their accumulated wealth and influence should not be underestimated. Moreover, they will inevitably resort to some underhanded methods to target me."

"But if I can further refine this 'titled ultimate skill,' not only mastering the 'Thunder Pivot' sword technique, but perfecting it, and even comprehending its subsequent development, I can use the sword to manifest the 'Wind and Fire Tribulations' techniques, and combine that with my physical cultivation."

"At the grand ceremony of the Xuan Guan, on the platform of generals, no matter what tricks or supernatural powers he uses, I will defeat him with my own strength!"

Ji Xiu's mind raced, and he felt an inexplicable longing for the 'Golden Core Path'.

However, in order to have a firm grasp on the current situation, he made a decision and immediately decided to enter the dream 'Wang Quan Wu Mu' to cultivate and prove the ultimate technique of the title - Reincarnation Three Tribulations!
Having observed the entire process, Prince Yan, Jiang Shentong, watched as Ji Xiu, a descendant of the Dragon and Snake, broke through the fourth stage of transformation, dazzlingly brilliant. His eyes flickered, and he looked at Xu Longxiang, who was beside him, feeling quite gratified, and smiled:
"With such a fine disciple, the old master is sure to revitalize his family's legacy in the near future."

After saying that, Jiang Shentong glanced at Jiang Changchi's side and saw that his daughter, Jiang Changle, who had witnessed the whole thing, was staring at Ji Xiu with her eyes full of surprise. He nodded as he observed her expression.

This is something that can be done.

He had already made up his mind, and then continued speaking:
"I have come to the land of Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang River, and from now on I will stay in these three states. This Cangdu is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I am interested in holding a 'Hairpin Flower Banquet' for my Princess Chang Le, and I invite all clans and lineages and their disciples to participate."

"The date will be set after the 'Grand Ceremony of the Mysterious Official'."

"Having witnessed Ji Daozi's remarkable demeanor today, I am certain that he will soon become the number one young Xuan Guan in Cangdu. Therefore, I have specially invited you to participate and make a name for yourself in this 'White Mountains and Black Waters' region."

"When the time comes, whoever can win the 'Flower-Hairing Banquet' will be rewarded handsomely and granted a bright future!"

Having said that, without even waiting for Xu Longxiang and Ji Xiu to speak, Prince Yan Jiang Shentong nodded once to the auspicious white crane 'Qingfeng' and strode away to take his leave.

Beside him, Jiang Changle would occasionally turn around and look at Ji Xiu.

Recalling the scenes from just now, especially Ji Xiu's domineering presence as a member of the powerful clans of Baiyujing, displaying the charisma of a descendant of dragons and snakes, a figure of unparalleled brilliance.
Jiang Changle's flawless face showed a hint of distraction.

She knew that her father's plan was to arrange a marriage for her in this remote region.

The original plan was that the Qishan Jiang Clan, the Divine Weapon Altar, and the Wangquan Family, all located in Xiqi, would have been the best options.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Now that they have seen Ji Xiu's impressive demeanor, they must have changed their minds and included this member of the Ji family in their considerations to see what he is truly capable of.

And after experiencing the scenes just now
She did not feel the same disgust she had when she saw those arrogant nobles in 'Baiyujing'.

Instead, I felt a sense of anticipation.

Just based on Ji Xiu's imposing manner and demeanor when he berated those powerful state lords...
That alone is enough to earn him the title of 'great man'!
After everyone had left.

Only the auspicious crane 'Qingfeng' is most perceptive and sensitive to fate and destiny.

At this moment, it looked at Ji Xiu suspiciously, a thought rising in its mind:
"Dragon and Snake Descendants"

"But something seems off."

"Why was it that for a fleeting moment just now, when this child opened his double pupils, I sensed a trace of the majesty of an 'emperor' in his destiny?"

However, in an instant, Qingfeng Xuanhe shook his head:

"Impossible, impossible."

"In the Great Xuan Heavenly Universe, before the ancestral lineage collapses, how could the Human Immortal Martial Path possibly produce a second 'Emperor'?"

"Unless it's some heretical emperor undergoing tribulation, but I've never heard of any such rumors before."

"I must have guessed wrong."

"Never mind, my mission is accomplished, and I should head home. It'll be a good opportunity to travel around these 'white mountains and black waters,' I haven't been here much before." (End of Chapter)
