Chapter 322: Golden Branch and Jade Leaf

Fire Persimmon Mountain top.

Magma boils, flames rage.

The Magma Xian Gong is like a lonely island, being covered by layers upon layers of demonic beast frenzy.

The magic power hand activated by Meng Kui surrounds the Nascent Soul-level Fire-Walking Snake and Flame-Treading Lizard, constantly entangling.

The Fire-Walking Snake and Flame-Treading Lizard hiss constantly, burning through or tearing apart the magic power hand.

The Nascent Soul-level Demonic Ape, however, ignores the magic power hand and focuses on attacking the Magma Xian Gong.

BOOM!

Under the attack of the Fire-Melting Demonic Ape, the Command Platform collapses into countless fragments.

It roars proudly, feeling the joy of revenge from the destruction of the Magma Xian Gong.

Deep in the clouds and mist.

Meng Kui is calm, his gaze deep.

The landing point of the Fire-Melting Demonic Ape's attack was guided by his magic power hand and other means. Compared to the Fire-Walking Snake and Flame-Treading Lizard, the Demonic Ape possesses higher intelligence. Therefore, in Fire Persimmon Mountain, the Fire-Melting Demonic Ape often commands other beast groups and is a royal family.

However, in the end, they are still demonic beasts, not demonic cultivators.

Demonic cultivators open their wisdom and are no different from ordinary people.

The demonic beast Demonic Ape is smug, never imagining that it has been utilized by Meng Kui.

The Nascent Soul-level attack, falling into the Magma Xian Gong, is suppressed to the Jin Dan level.

Jin Dan-level cultivators like Zhu Zhen have long risen into mid-air, constantly intercepting powerful attacks, ensuring the safety of the mechanism buildings.

However, their numbers are still much scarcer compared to the offensive. Numerous attacks fall into the inner circle of the Magma Xian Gong, causing constant damage to mechanism buildings, and even complete collapse.

Zhu Zhen, while fighting, is actively looking for the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.

So far, he has not found any place with unusual defensive forces.

However, he does find that the demonic beast frenzy is about to affect the Gourd Fire Furnace Forest.

This makes him see the opportunity to complete Zhu Xuanji's entrustment!

Deep in the clouds and mist.

Meng Hu's gaze penetrates the long sky, observing the entire battlefield.

The fighting spirit in his heart is also like the flames filling his vision, constantly burning, making him stir.

"Taiqing Palace, Taiqing Palace... why haven't you appeared yet?"

Rumble...

The Nascent Soul-level clash shakes the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain.

Every head-on collision makes the desk in front of Zhu Hou tremble slightly.

He subconsciously looks toward the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, Zhu Xuanji's appearance flashing in his mind: "I wonder how Little Ji is doing over there."

He smiles slightly, then puts down the slight worry in his heart: "If Little Ji still can't do it, who else in our Zhu family royal family can?"

"The child of the past is now the pillar of our Zhu family."

"Time flies like a shuttle..."

Zhu Hou cannot help but recall the scene of him teaching the young Zhu Xuanji.

Royal Capital.

On the desk, sixteen Enlightenment Diagrams are placed.

Zhu Hou points to them one by one, asking Zhu Xuanji to state the content he comprehended from each diagram.

Zhu Xuanji answers fluently.

Zhu Hou is very satisfied and praises: "Xuanji, you have the Golden Eye Immortal Asset; this kind of Immortal Asset is best at peeking through the essence. Therefore, comprehending Enlightenment Diagrams often allows you to see truths that the masses cannot see."

"Plus you are smart yourself, with good comprehension, comprehending these Enlightenment Diagrams is the best cultivation method suitable for you."

The young Zhu Xuanji raises his little face: "Uncle, my Golden Eye is so strong, why is it only a superior Immortal Asset, and not super-grade? Are super-grade Immortal Assets all stronger than my Golden Eye? Hmph, I don't believe it!"

Zhu Hou laughs: "The grade of Immortal Asset is only relative. Are super-grade Immortal Assets always stronger than inferior ones? Not necessarily; it depends on the specific situation."

"The so-called grade is just what we summarized. Perhaps one day, we will find a better way to utilize the Golden Eye Immortal Asset, which can raise the grade of the Golden Eye to super-grade."

Zhu Xuanji asks: "How to develop the Immortal Asset? Uncle, I heard that you just need to use it constantly."

Zhu Hou shakes his head: "Always using it is not the essence of developing the Immortal Asset."

"Little Ji, before answering this question, I must ask you first: what does cultivation mean?"

Zhu Xuanji does not think and blurts out: "Cultivation means learning the true principles between heaven and earth through practice."

Zhu Hou nods: "Not bad. The rising and falling of the sun and moon, the birth, death, prosperity, and decline are the principles of the operation and birth-death of all things in heaven and earth."

"It is precisely because we have learned and mastered these principles that we cultivators can get rid of the shackles of the mundane, constantly increase our lifespan, and possess magical powers that transcend ordinary people."

Speaking of this, Zhu Hou points to the Enlightenment Diagrams on the desk: "These Enlightenment Diagrams are recorded by cultivators proficient in painting, through this method, recording certain principles between heaven and earth."

"You know about true scriptures, right? Those true scriptures are cultivators proficient in calligraphy recording the principles of the cultivation methods they understand, making it easy for others to understand."

"In this world, all Immortal Assets are actually a part of the principles."

"Some Immortal Assets contain many principles and are easy for us to apply, so we rate them as higher-grade Immortal Assets. Conversely, they are lower-grade."

"The reason why the Golden Eye is judged as a superior Immortal Asset is because there are many principles, but in application, it is limited to assistance."

"Using the Golden Eye often allows one to see through the essence of things, but the results of this ability are also seriously affected by the cultivator's own knowledge and cognition."

Seeing Zhu Xuanji somewhat dejected, Zhu Hou comforts him again: "Although Immortal Assets are graded, they are only a starting point. In the long run, it still depends on the cultivator's own development."

"If you can understand the principles contained in the Immortal Asset and master them, you can promote the Immortal Asset into a supernatural power!"

"Whether it is supernatural power or Immortal Asset, they are powerful means to help cultivators fight across levels."

"Of course, it is not just Immortal Assets that can turn into supernatural powers. The essence of supernatural power is the understanding and mastery of Dao and principles."

"An ordinary spell can also allow a cultivator to study the principles within it and then promote it to a supernatural power."

"All the Enlightenment Diagrams you see have the possibility of being promoted to supernatural powers."

"Last time, I asked you to choose carefully from these Enlightenment Diagrams and choose the main direction for future cultivation. What is your choice now? Little Ji."

Zhu Xuanji does not hesitate and points to two of the Enlightenment Diagrams: "Uncle, I choose these two."

Zhu Hou looks closely: "Hmm, not bad."

"If you study these two diagrams deeply, it is very likely that you will master two martial arts supernatural powers, namely the Golden Mountain Stance and Jade Pillar Pile Body."

"Why did you choose them?"

Zhu Xuanji revealed a look of longing, telling Zhu Hou that he had read many historical novels and often fantasized about becoming an unparalleled fierce general who could dominate the battlefield, dedicating his loyalty and strength to his country.

And the standard equipment for those fierce generals is these two supernatural powers.

Zhu Xuanji: "When I was very young, I heard teachers say that our Southern Bean Kingdom royal family lacks fierce generals. In many cases, we have to rely on body cultivators from other families. If I can practice it, our Zhu family will have our own fierce generals."

"Good child, good child." Zhu Hou praises, "Being able to think for the overall situation, you have awareness."

"Since this is the case, I might as well make a move once, seek a royal supernatural power for you, and protect your body."

Zhu Xuanji is curious.

Zhu Hou answers for him: "This is an official Dao supernatural power, named Golden Branch and Jade Leaf. It can be practiced individually, or it can be applied to others, used for protection."

"Whether it is the person practicing it or the cultivator to whom the supernatural power is applied, they must all be members of the noble, royal, imperial, or imperial families."

"The current Great Ancestor of our Zhu family has mastered this supernatural power."

"Since you chose the Golden Mountain Stance and Jade Pillar Pile Body, then the Golden Branch and Jade Leaf supernatural power is most suitable for you."

"In the future, if you gather three supernatural powers in one body, you should be able to complement each other, and your power will skyrocket."

"If you can master them thoroughly and fuse the three supernatural powers into one, you can even promote to a level above supernatural power!"

Magma Xian Gong.

Turning Point Secret Pavilion.

The Five Qi Torrent drowns Zhu Xuanji, and following closely behind is the full-force Little Butterfly, erupting with quasi-Jin Dan-level offensive power.

The five-colored mysterious Qi dissipates, revealing a majestic posture that stands tall!

Little Butterfly's offensive creates countless space fragments, seven-colored and gorgeous, dense, but not a single piece invades Zhu Xuanji's body.

At this moment, Zhu Xuanji's body had expanded to over nine feet, his muscles bulging, but he was wrapped in a black-edged red robe, forming a martial arts combat outfit.

He is like a pillar supporting the sky, standing proudly.

His whole body is permeated with golden Qi, and vaguely, a mountain peak appears. And at this very moment, on the mountain peak, a forest grows out.

Each tree is a Golden Branch and Jade Leaf, swaying in the wind, gold and jade striking each other, the crisp sound of ding-dang ringing endlessly.

Official Dao Supernatural Power—Golden Branch and Jade Leaf!

"Three supernatural powers?!" Unlike Ning Zhuo and the others are all shocked.

Zhu Xuanji turns around slowly, his voice like a bell: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, you have disappointed me too much!"

"I led you to the right path, but you still chose the wrong path, and are in cahoots with evil cultivators."

"You let down Li Leifeng, let down my expectations, and even let down your family."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xuanji spreads his arms and sweeps across, in an instant, strong winds howl.

Wherever his arms go, the seven-colored fragments collapse, and in a flash, they dissipate.

Yang Chanyu sees this scene, her pupils shrink fiercely, thinking: "Are you kidding? This is a quasi-Jin Dan-level magic array, and it was so easily disintegrated?!"

Little Butterfly is shocked, and even says directly to Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Doctor, let's run! This person is too fierce!"

How to run?

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiles bitterly; after he pushed open the door and entered, he couldn't run anymore.

He is also within the scope of the official technique Closed Door.

The more critical the situation, the calmer Unlike Ning Zhuo is in his heart.

He shows a smile, his gaze sharp, looking at Zhu Xuanji without fear: "Lord Zhu, you have no evidence, don't slander me casually."

"This time, I am competing openly with you for the Magma Xian Gong for the sake of the family!"

"The reason I helped the people of the Non-Empty Gate is just to join forces, it is just a struggle for interests."

"This is precisely my active response to the Recruitment Order issued by the Monarch."

Zhu Xuanji's face sinks, reprimanding: "Sharp-tongued and glib." ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
