Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Inside the room.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept calmly over Xiao Tao, who stood anxiously outside the door, without the slightest change in his expression.

He was naturally aware of the rumors about Guobei County thanks to his powerful senses, but he was more concerned about the progress of his breathing technique, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He glanced at Xiao Tao, whose eyes showed fear, shook his head slightly, and continued to study the Daoist inscriptions of the breathing technique.

As rumors in Guobei County intensified, and every resident of Guobei County spoke of the Zhang family with dread, Zhang family became a target of gossip.

……

Time slips away quietly.

In the blink of an eye.

Four days have passed.

early morning.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window, dispelling the shadows inside the room.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Finally finished..."

A notification sound rang in my ear at the same time.

[Taoist Arts: Paper Cutting (100% Perfection), Flowers Bloom in an Instant (100% Perfection)]

[Realm: True Person (99%), 9,999 years of cultivation]

Seeing his comprehension level rise to over a thousand points, and his evaluation of comprehension changing from being praised for generations to being born a sage, Su Chen's face showed surprise.

"Born a saint?!"

His previous prediction has been proven true!

Those with the wisdom to be praised for generations can easily establish their own schools and become their founders!

However, they still fall short of the legendary sages and cannot be considered among them.

And his comprehension broke through a major level once again, and his comprehension indeed rose to the level of a born sage!

In other words, from this moment on, his comprehension is comparable to that of ancient sages!

The familiar cool sensation lingered in his mind and soul, cleansing his consciousness.

In a daze, Su Chen saw some scenes.

Far behind him, indistinctly standing, were several extraordinary individuals, each a dragon among men.

And in the dim, indistinct distance ahead stood one after another mysterious figure.

The figures of sages such as Zhuangzi and Liezi are prominently displayed.

Originally, because there was still some distance between him and these sages, he could only vaguely see their backs.

But at that moment, his figure instantly moved forward, arriving beside them, almost side by side.

Although he was only at the bottom, his comprehension was at the level of ancient sages!

This alone is enough to transcend the mundane, surpass countless ordinary people, and leave behind a legendary tale in history!

In a daze, Su Chen's gaze unconsciously drifted further ahead.

"What lies beyond those born sages?"

He was curious and puzzled.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, straining to see something.

At first, he saw nothing, but after observing carefully for a while, he vaguely saw something.

In a daze, he seemed to see an old man with white hair and beard riding a blue ox, heading west out of Hangu Pass during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Furthermore, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they were in India and India.

Clad in a kasaya, seated serenely on a lotus throne, his face serene and compassionate, his eyes lowered, as if observing the joys and sorrows of all beings, or perhaps reflecting upon his own true nature, he was teaching his disciples…

Besides them, he also saw other figures.

However, because of the great distance, he did not recognize him.

Looking at these figures, Su Chen's face showed surprise.

"This is?"

"Laozi? Shakyamuni?"

"saint?"

In that instant, he suddenly realized something.

If Zhuangzi and his ilk were born sages, then above them are sages like Laozi and Shakyamuni!

It can only be said that there are differences even among those born as sages!

Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni were saints at an even higher level!

Upon realizing this, Su Chen's face showed anticipation and longing.

Even those born with the wisdom of a sage possess great insight; how much more insightful must one be to those comparable to a saint?

Looking at his 1009 points of comprehension, Su Chen was filled with anticipation.

Although my current comprehension is only at the bottom of the list of naturally born sages, if I continue to improve, things may change!

Su Chen had not forgotten that once his magical power and cultivation reached ten thousand years, he would complete the final transformation and break through to the True Person realm, which would greatly increase his lifespan.

In time, your comprehension will increase significantly!

"Will my comprehension be able to rise to the level of a sage by then?"

Su Chen was curious and looked forward to a breakthrough even more.

With great anticipation and a refreshing sensation in his mind, he quickly entered a state of enlightenment.

In a state of harmony with nature and the unity of heaven and man, he comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, and also the method to forcibly break through to the level of a True Person.

With innate sage-level comprehension and the blessing of a state of sudden enlightenment.

The so-called suppression and shackles of heaven and earth were no longer a difficulty for him.

He gradually understood how to break through.

boom!

The magical power within Su Chen's body surged violently, circulating at an extremely rapid pace, seemingly gathering together to transform into some kind of ethereal magical power imbued with an immortal aura.

Even his body exuded a faint, ethereal fragrance.

It seems that he is about to ascend to immortality in the next second!

However, at that very moment, in the harmony between heaven and man, he also sensed the barrenness and weakness of the world, as well as a faint sense of rejection.

It was as if, once he underwent a complete transformation, the world would begin to reject him and force him to leave this place!

Realizing this, Su Chen's spirits lifted, and he forcibly pulled himself out of the breakthrough state.

Soon, the ethereal fragrance emanating from him and his state of perfect harmony with nature vanished, and even the subtle transformation of his magical power ceased.

Su Chen murmured, "It's not the right time yet..."

Aside from the fact that I haven't settled things with the Zhang family yet, and it wouldn't be good to leave now, my breathing technique isn't perfected yet either!

He planned to use this time to first master the art of breathing techniques.

His attention immediately fell on the Daoist inscription on the breathing technique.

At first, he found the Wenyunlu (文云简) cryptic, like reading a book written in the heavens.

So at this moment, just by glancing at the Daoist inscriptions on the breathing technique, he felt a sense of enlightenment, a divine understanding, and a gradual approach to perfection.

Su Chen wasn't too surprised by this situation.

The Dao Wen Yun Lu was created by the ancient sages of the Canglan Realm, according to legend.

His comprehension was already comparable to that of these ancient sages, so comprehending the Dao Wenyunlu was no longer difficult for him.

Su Chen felt that he only needed to spend about half a month to fully comprehend the Daoist script of this breathing technique.

At that time, you will be able to cultivate this breathing technique and open up a perfect inner realm!

Su Chen's lips curled up slightly.

After thinking about all this, he turned his attention to himself.

Although his breakthrough was interrupted, he still felt that he could break through at any time.

He can break through to a higher level at any time if he wants!

"Next, we need to deal with the Zhang family's affairs..."

Once he's done dealing with this, it will be time for him to ascend to immortality!

As Su Chen murmured to himself, his gaze turned complicatedly towards the outside of the east wing, towards Xiao Tao, his father Zhang Shan Hai, his mother Xu Shi, his younger brother Zhang Xing, and others in the Zhang family mansion.
