Chapter 1: Quanzhen

A world of integrated martial arts, the Great Song of the Divine Land.

Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Sect.

Peaks and ridges wind around, pines and cypresses cast deep shadows, and paddy fields and vegetable gardens stretch between them, possessing the scenery of Jiangnan.

Amidst these mountains, palace after palace emerges, ancient and grand, wreathed in clouds and mist, with purple energy descending and vapor swirling, looking just like a pure land of immortals.

Inside one of the palaces, a little boy of about eight years old slowly opened his eyes.

[Detected that your transmigration was successful. You are about to break the mystery of the womb, awaken the wisdom of your past life, and feel the Great Dao of Chaos. A blessing has descended; you have obtained heaven-defying comprehension!]

"So that’s how it is!"

"I... transmigrated?!"

"For these past eight years, I have been breaking the mystery of the womb and merging with the blessing of the Great Dao of Chaos. Only now have I truly possessed heaven-defying comprehension!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng understood.

Eight years ago, he had already appeared in this world, but due to the mystery of the womb, coupled with the blessing of the Great Dao of Chaos, Li Li Li Zhangsheng had remained in a daze. It took eight years to completely break the mystery of the womb and merge with the blessing.

"Eh?! Just a few days ago, a Daoist saw a faint spiritual light flashing between my brows, brought me back to the mountain, and took me as his disciple... Wait!"

"This place is... Mount Zhongnan of the Great Song, home of the Quanzhen Sect, and my current identity is... the disciple of the leader of the Five Greats of the Great Song, the Central Divine Ability Wang Wang Wang Chongyang?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng checked his own memories, feeling somewhat surprised and shocked.

"Little Martial Uncle, are you awake?! Grandmaster requests your presence."

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng opened the door, and a young Daoist appeared before him.

"Little Martial Uncle, Grandmaster is transmitting the Dharma to you today. Please do not delay."

The young Daoist bowed, his eyes filled with endless envy.

One must know that anyone who joins the Quanzhen Sect must first fetch water for three years and study basic Daoist scriptures before they can be taught martial arts after passing an assessment.

Yet Li Li Li Zhangsheng not only joined the Grandmaster’s lineage but was also going to be taught martial arts directly without any assessment. How could the young Daoist not be envious?!

Dazed for eight years, and upon waking, he unexpectedly became the Quanzhen Little Martial Uncle?!

"Many thanks!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered and followed behind the young Daoist toward the main hall of the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.

"Right! I don't know your name yet, Martial Nephew?!"

On the way, Li Li Li Zhangsheng asked as if he had thought of something.

Mar, Martial Nephew?!

The young Daoist’s face twitched. Looking at such a small person as Li Li Li Zhangsheng—an eight-year-old child—carrying his hands behind his back and acting all old-fashioned while calling him Martial Nephew, while he had to call him Martial Uncle, felt awkward no matter how he thought about it.

But the young Daoist dared not protest. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Little Martial Uncle, this disciple is... Yin Yin Yin Zhiping!"

"Oh!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded, but the next second, his pupils shrank violently.

Eh?!

Yin... Yin Yin Yin Zhiping?!

Good heavens!

The Dragon Knight!

Is it you, Dragon Knight?!

Looking at you with such thick eyebrows and big eyes, who would have thought your heart was so filthy?!

Li Li Li Zhangsheng gave Yin Yin Yin Zhiping a strange look, fell slightly silent, and did not speak again.

Yin Yin Yin Zhiping did not mind.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng walked into the main hall.

On the dais, a middle-aged Daoist sat cross-legged, a smile on his face, looking quite amiable.

And below the middle-aged Daoist sat seven other middle-aged Daoists, who even looked a bit older than the one at the head.

The leader of the Five Greats, the Central Divine Ability Wang Wang Wang Chongyang!

The seven middle-aged Daoists below should be... the Seven Quanzhen Masters.

Among the Seven Quanzhen Masters, there was a middle-aged beauty, with a graceful figure and lingering charm.

This was the only female among the Seven Quanzhen Masters, the Quiet Hermit Sun Bu'er, who was also the wife of the current Quanzhen Sect Master, Ma Yu.

Below the Seven Quanzhen Masters were the many Quanzhen disciples. Yin Yin Yin Zhiping quietly merged into them, sitting cross-legged with a solemn face, looking incredibly serious.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng slowly stepped forward, his small, thin body bowing in salute, "Disciple Li Li Li Zhangsheng pays respects to Master! Pays respects to all Martial Brothers and Martial Sisters!"

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang nodded slightly, raised his hand, pointed to the prayer mat in the middle, and said, "No need for formalities, take your seat."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng bowed in acknowledgment and obediently sat down.

Obedient.JPG!

After Li Li Li Zhangsheng sat down, Wang Wang Wang Chongyang first chanted Daoist scriptures with the disciples and then began to explain them.

[You chant the Daoist scriptures, listen to the Dao intently, and are lost in thought. Your comprehension is peerless... You have realized the Heart of an Innocent!]

[The thickness of virtue is compared to an innocent child! Your mind is simple, born for the Dao; any Daoist scripture you read, you understand immediately and master thoroughly! Any existence will have their favor toward you increased by thirty percent.]

Seeing the prompt, Li Li Li Zhangsheng fell into deep thought.

A simple mind—is that talking about me?!

A moment later, Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded affirmatively. That's right, it's talking about me!

Even the Great Dao of Chaos thinks my mind is simple; who dares to disagree?!

At the same time, the moment Li Li Li Zhangsheng realized the Heart of an Innocent, a primitive, indifferent, and tranquil Dao intent slowly radiated from his entire body.

"This... Dao intent?! How is this possible?!"

"How can a child of only eight years old radiate Dao intent?!"

Sitting to Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s left was the Long-Spring True Person Qiu Chuji. Sensing the change in Li Li Li Zhangsheng, he was instantly stunned.

"Dao... Dao intent?! No wonder Master took him as a disciple; it turns out he is..."

To the right, the Quanzhen Sect Master, Danyangzi Ma Yu, was also shaken, his whole body frozen.

It wasn't just Long-Spring True Person Qiu Chuji and Danyangzi Ma Yu; Changzhenzi Tan Tan Chuduan, Yuyangzi Wang Wang Chuyi, Taiguzi Hao Hao Datong, Changshengzi Liu Liu Chuxuan, and Quiet Hermit Sun Bu'er were all dumbfounded, unable to even pay attention to Wang Wang Wang Chongyang’s lecture.

At this moment, who could still pay attention to Wang Wang Wang Chongyang’s lecture?

They had listened to Wang Wang Wang Chongyang’s lectures no less than eight hundred times. Although their cultivation had indeed improved, someone like Li Li Li Zhangsheng, who had gained insight after listening just once and was radiating Dao intent, was truly unique!

To be precise, it had never happened before!

"A monster!"

"This child is born for the Dao! My Quanzhen Sect has hope for prosperity!"

"Heaven blesses Quanzhen!"

"..."

The Seven Quanzhen Masters had their energy surging throughout their bodies; they were shocked and excited, unable to calm down at all.

Seeing the trembling Seven Quanzhen Masters, the many Quanzhen disciples were stunned: What’s going on? Are the Masters having a seizure? Or are they too bold, slacking off even while Grandmaster is lecturing?!

"Dao intent radiating?! No! Brows with spiritual light, like an infant; tranquil and far-reaching, like an innocent child?! This is... the Heart of an Innocent?!"

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang’s mind was shaken. Even though he was the one lecturing, he could not remain calm at this moment.

He was not like the Seven Quanzhen Masters who understood nothing; he was Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, a Daoist Heavenly Human, and naturally, he could clearly understand the situation with Li Li Li Zhangsheng.
