In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

But the difference in true realms is absolutely worlds apart, unless some unparalleled mastery can bridge this absolute gap.

Moreover, the Pure Yang Divine Skill was created by Zhang Xiaoshan himself, which is also recognized throughout the Nine Provinces.

And according to Zhang Xiaoshan, only the perfected Pure Yang Divine Skill can contend with the Xuan Yin Demonic Qi of Chi You's Demonic Art? Then the other external martial arts techniques are not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The fact that Miao Jiang's invincible skills had still been defeated by Zhang Xiaoshan was even more unbelievable to everyone.

However, although they didn't believe it, they were at least 70% certain in their hearts that this mutual exposure was true.

Some things are not baseless rumors.

Moreover, on such a grand occasion, these masters from Miao territory would not expose their weaknesses.

Only absolute confidence and a disregard for them would lead to such unbridled behavior.

"However, Zhang had already broken through to the Perfect Realm more than ten years ago."

As you all know, Zhang had an epiphany during his battle with the Bad Commander, reaching the level of breaking through the void, which is the twelfth level of perfection.

Over the past decade or so, Zhang's strength has naturally not stagnated.

However, Zhang is an exception.

"In the future, let alone whether a third person in Miao territory will be able to reach the eighth or even ninth level of the Refinement Realm, I, Zhang, do not know if any member of the Zhang family will be able to reach the tenth level of the Pure Yang Realm after three generations."

Zhang Xiaoshan was an exception, as everyone naturally knew.

But the rise of the Zhang family across three generations is already a foregone conclusion.

With the addition of Zhang Xiaoshan, the third generation of the Zhang family still has the potential to reach Zhang Xiaoshan's level, at least the tenth level of Pure Yang Perfection, or even the eleventh level of Heavenly Human Realm.

Therefore, everyone felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this.

Undoubtedly, they will be suppressed by the Zhang family for another hundred years.

Once you break through to the Grandmaster realm, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a lifespan of one hundred years is the minimum.

Moreover, the Zhang family mainly cultivates Taoist secret arts, such as the Longevity Formula and the Pure Yang Divine Skill. As long as their vital energy does not dissipate, they can easily live to be a hundred years old.

"Now you should all understand that Miao territory is qualified to be one of the five transcendent powers."

As for the Great Snow Mountain, not to mention that the Holy Monk's realm has reached the highest level of the Celestial Realm, even the Venerable Tashimoluo, who has just broken through and established himself, is comparable in strength to the top three on the Heavenly Gang Ranking.

Having reached this level of strength, it's no longer simply a matter of sweeping across the Central Plains.

The newly risen and destroyed Tashimoro is only comparable to the top three on the Heavenly Gang Ranking.

Even those who were completely unaware of the situation and the details, including the previously high-spirited Tashi Moro who had been expecting to sweep across the Central Plains, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

When did his strength become so weak?

Nourished by the dragonfish meat, his blood and energy quickly recovered. Coupled with the transformative effects of the ancient elixir, his future achievements were naturally limitless.

But this rapidly increasing strength is only comparable to the top three on the Heavenly Gang Ranking.

Not to mention the incredibly mysterious Golden-Faced Buddha and the Demon Sect Master before us.

At least, Master Xingyin became the third on the Heavenly Gang List, and Tashimoluo was still confident.

Unfortunately, the sexual voice that Zhang Xiaoshan knew was completely different from the sexual voice that Tashi Moro knew.

The Vajra Indestructibility and the Divine Skill of the Wedding Dress, which reach the state of perfection, are no less than those of Tashimala, who was destroyed and then rebuilt.

Moreover, Xingyin has also cultivated the Tathagata Palm, and has already reached its pinnacle. At most, with the first nine strikes, Xingyin can easily defeat Tashimoluo. Furthermore, the tenth strike of the Tathagata Palm, after a qualitative change, is even more powerful and can threaten beings at the Celestial Realm.

Therefore, Tashimoro can only threaten the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, but it is impossible for him to enter the top three.

Chapter 883 Pre-Seclusion Instructions—The Conflict Between Yan and Huang

As the crowd dispersed, suspicion and apprehension lingered in their hearts.

This was exactly the result Zhang Xiaoshan wanted: to intimidate the entire world with absolute strength and make everyone's fear of the Zhang family reach its peak.

What level of mastery is a Grandmaster?

Even though there are many Grandmasters now, they are still like legendary dragons in the Nine Provinces, appearing only briefly and never quite.

Above the Grandmaster level, in addition to the Supreme Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, the Ancient Demon God realm has emerged, once again refreshing everyone's understanding.

As for shattering the void?

Two grandmasters fighting to the death can shatter the void, and even an unparalleled grandmaster can comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth and shatter the void, but what is the true meaning of shattering the void?

The ever-increasing limits have made them realize that breaking through the void is not such a simple matter.

If a Grandmaster can comprehend the mysteries of breaking through the void, then Zhang Xiaoshan would have been able to break through the void long ago.

Especially Tashimoro, who witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of Zhang Xiaoshan's "flower blooming with a single thought" atop the Great Snow Mountain.

That is a being that truly controls space!

The realm of gods and demons could not be more magnificent than this!

Therefore, he didn't have much doubt about Zhang Xiaoshan's description of Chi Yuan's abilities.

Even the assessment that he had broken through and risen again, and whose combat power was comparable to the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, was accepted after a period of doubt.

Because he knew that the mysteries of this world far exceeded his imagination.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan and Chi Yuan had both surpassed the realm of Shattering the Void, which made Tashimoro want to quickly recover his strength and witness the true combat power of this world.

"Father! Mother! Mother!"

The next morning, the newlyweds served tea.

The three addresses refer to the three people at the head of the table.

Besides Zhang Xiaoshan, whose mother refers to his legal mother Huang Rong, Zhang Sheng's biological mother, Manager Feng, is also mentioned.

Therefore, after the Lü sisters served tea in turn, Zhang Xiaoshan then took out the congratulatory gift from the 'Golden-Faced Buddha'—the Flying Immortal Sword Technique—and placed it in front of Zhang Sheng, saying:

"This is the Flying Immortal Sword Technique, which was once famous throughout the land. It requires the fusion of pure Yin and pure Yang Qi, and the lovers who are in sync, to unleash the greatest power of this sword technique."

Su'er is simple-minded and has no ambition, so she is suitable for the Taoist Pure Yin Heart Method and can master this sword technique.

As for the pheasant?

The Northern Darkness Divine Art is exceptionally domineering, but because it absorbs the internal energy of others, its true Qi cannot reach the realm of pure Yin.

However, there is a method here to manipulate the life and death of others—the Life and Death Talisman. The Zhang family relied on this method to control the lives and deaths of the Twelve Zodiac Assassins and numerous Blood Droplets. Today, I will pass it on to you.”

"Thank you dad!"

Although Lü Zhi was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes lit up immediately when she heard about the wondrous uses of the Life and Death Talisman.

What she wanted was power, not personal strength, so this special method for developing power was naturally the most suitable for her.

Lu Su was simple-minded and suited to Taoist cultivation.

But in Lü Zhi's view, even if it were stronger than the Northern Darkness Divine Art, one person's strength would ultimately be insufficient.

The rapid accumulation of power by the Northern Darkness Divine Art had led Lü Zhi astray, making her lose all sense that nothing in the world could threaten her existence.

If it weren't for the fact that all visitors are guests, and Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhang Sheng, and Huang Rong were not in charge of the Prince's Mansion, many of the guests would probably have suffered.

In order to increase her own power, Lü Zhi would not care about anything.

"Peace, this is the Heavenly Demon Body that I, your father, comprehended during my seclusion after the battle with Chi Yuan."

Once the realm is fully mastered, it shares a similar essence with the Undying Demon Body.

The ambitions revealed by Miao territory this time may be your greatest enemy in the future, and this will also be a trial and tribulation for you.

Evil will never prevail over good; the cycle of karma will repeat itself!

You are now destined to be the ruler of this land, and this is your greatest opportunity.

Therefore, I bestow upon you the body of a celestial demon to fight against the future enemy destined by heaven.

"Got it, Dad!"

Zhang Sheng knew that what Zhang Xiaoshan said would surely come true in the future.

Zhang Sheng naturally already knew the secret of the Undying Demon Body, and he also understood that even with the Nine Cauldrons Divine Skill fully mastered, it would be difficult to contend with the Undying Demon Body.

The Heavenly Demon Body was something Zhang Xiaoshan comprehended after his great battle with Chi Yuan, and it must be even more profound than the Nine Cauldrons Divine Art.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

As for the gifts Huang Rong and Shopkeeper Feng gave, they were just some jade jewelry.

After all, they didn't have Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to see through the secrets of heaven, and they couldn't help Zhang Sheng much either.

However, since Zhang Sheng is destined for greatness, there is no danger to his life in the future; at most, he will only experience a few twists and turns.

"Next, I will go into seclusion on Peach Blossom Island to break through the Heavenly Demon Divine Body I have just comprehended."

It may take three to five years, or even ten years, to emerge from seclusion. This period is also your chance to truly take charge of the Zhang family's great cause.

If only Chi Yuan is born in Miao territory to face calamity, it will be both your tribulation and your opportunity.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

But if the Miao region were to emerge as a whole, posing a threat to the Central Plains, I have already placed the Poison Dragon in Ping Mountain. You may release the Poison Dragon then to deter the Miao region!

"Yes, father!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's seclusion was both a matter of timing and destiny.

Because of Zhang Sheng's marriage to Lü Zhi, and the fact that Liu Ji had been killed by Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng had now become the chosen one and the future ruler of the Nine Provinces.

However, in the original Chu-Han Contention, Xiang Shaoyu could not possibly threaten Zhang Sheng, so the conflict between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor reignited.

Given Zhang Sheng's current strength, the only expert who could overwhelm him was Chi Yuan.

This may also be Chi Yuan's destiny in breaking through the indestructible demon body.

As a being of the transcendent level, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally noticed this change.

All he could do for Zhang Sheng was to pass on the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demon Body to her, so that she could grow stronger amidst the tribulations and contend with Chi Yuan.

........ .. .......

As for the divine technique?

The twelvefold Pure Yang Divine Skill can rival Chi You's demonic skill; passing it all on to Zhang Sheng would be counterproductive.

It's not too late to pass on this divine technique to Zhang Sheng after he retires from public life.

After all, the essence of the Divine Technique is the Primordial Spirit. Only by achieving the Great Perfection of Pure Yang can one condense the Cauldron of the Primordial Spirit. Therefore, this is still a long way off for Zhang Sheng.

On the contrary, Zhang Sheng, with his Heavenly Demon Body, has already met the requirements for cultivation.

With Zhang Sheng taking up residence in the Donghai Prince's Mansion, the situation outside the pass quickly stabilized.

Zhang Sheng is a third-generation descendant of the Zhang family and the successor designated by Zhang Xiaoshan. Therefore, no matter which forces are involved or the cabinet advisors such as Wan Sanqian, none of them dare to have any disloyal intentions.

Moreover, Lü Zhi was also quite capable; she learned everything quickly and gradually seized control of most of the power within the Prince's Palace.

While things were peaceful in the Zhang family, turmoil was brewing in the martial arts world.

With the establishment of the five major powers, their territories were fixed in the Jiangnan region, beyond the Great Wall, north of the Yellow River, and the Central Plains. Naturally, the unclaimed territories of Shandong (Taihang Mountains), Jingchu, Shuzhong, and Lingnan became the focus of contention among various warlords.

Zhang Sheng's wedding, in particular, served as a signal, completely allaying the concerns of the heroes.

In just a few months, heroes and powerful figures emerged in fierce competition.

With the Peerless City and Supreme Alliance in the south, and the Azure Dragon Society and World Society in the north, the entire Nine Provinces suddenly fell into chaos.

Zhang Xiaoshan, whom everyone had high hopes for to emerge from seclusion and suppress the rebellion, seemed to have retreated into seclusion. Even the Zhang family's influence gradually diminished, and he showed no intention of returning to power.

Chapter 884 The Venerable Master Xingyin VS. Tashimoro

"Finally, I'm fully recovered!"

After receiving the empowerment, and with the help of dragonfish meat and the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, Tashimoluo recovered his power in the shortest possible time over four months.

Moreover, it is about destruction before construction.

His height increased by more than three feet, and his true qi or strength also underwent a qualitative transformation.

His height increased by three feet, which was not just a physical increase. He also consumed at least ten catties of dragon fish meat every day to replenish his qi and blood. At this time, Tashimoro's arms alone had the strength of a thousand jin, not even counting the true qi and the dragon-elephant supernatural power.
