Still half-asleep?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning air was as cool as mint, yet even the natural oxygen bar of Zhenwu Mountain could not dispel Zhang Fan’s dazed confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Lai… that beautiful girl we met at the Worship Hall…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dreamed of her? See… I told you you were dreaming… I never saw her at all…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi Shan patted Zhang Fan’s shoulder, as if grasping proof that the girl didn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move aside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a cold voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan turned and saw the two men who had booked the entire hotel yesterday walking out the main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the gold-rimmed glasses had changed into a suit, still refined and polite, but the burly youth in sportswear remained as haughty as ever, as if the mountain paths belonged to his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words had fully faded, the two walked straight past Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they brushed past, Zhang Fan’s face changed instantly—he saw the gold-rimmed glasses man’s eyeballs transform into two insects, wriggling within their sockets, then instantly returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan gasped softly and instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qian brothers cast sidelong glances, seemingly not even regarding him worthy of notice, and walked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you?” Li Yi Shan couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you didn’t see it? The glasses guy’s eyes… they turned into insects…” Zhang Fan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Insects? Are you still not awake?” Li Yi Shan frowned, speaking low and stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s lips twitched—he truly didn’t know how to explain. He knew he hadn’t imagined it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t imagine it… last night definitely wasn’t a dream… Old Li didn’t see it… could it be because I swallowed the moonlight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan fell into thought, not doubting his own sanity, but recalling the giant serpent from last night that had spat out the moonlight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was definitely swallowed by me… but Old Li says I slept all night without leaving the hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan lowered his head, a suspicion stirring in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, that kid saw your [Color-Eye Worms]…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Qian brothers, long gone, paused slightly, their attention sweeping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To perceive the true nature beyond illusion means he has reached the realm of nurturing the Nascent Soul…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Sheng Wu adjusted his glasses, a sharp gleam flashing in his deep eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday, I misjudged him. I didn’t realize this kid was one of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s hiding well… I wonder which sect trained him? Could he also be here for the Zhenwu Mountain Jade Scroll Transmission?” Qian Shao Kun’s expression turned thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch him… if he gets in the way, eliminate him.” Qian Sheng Wu said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been thinking the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Shao Kun licked his lips—his tongue emerged as a bizarre, thousand-legged, thousand-armed insect, then retracted and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight is the Zhenwu Mountain Jade Scroll Transmission…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Sheng Wu gazed up at the towering Golden Summit, murmuring softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the Taihe Palace on the Golden Summit, Daoist priests were busy. The Jade Scroll Transmission concerned the lineage’s continuity and the sect’s prosperity; the ritual’s scale was exceptionally high, requiring half a year’s preparation for incense, lamps, five offerings, ten tributes, ritual tablets, proclamation scrolls, and talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight is the Jade Scroll Transmission. I wonder how Sister is preparing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a young Daoist with a clear-faced countenance set down his scripture scroll and gazed toward the deepest chamber of the Taihe Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside that dim room, Zhenwu Mountain’s most outstanding disciple was in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, the Jade Scroll of Zhenwu Mountain would be transmitted into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She must be utterly prepared… Sister is Zhenwu Mountain’s youngest [Gonggong]. To be granted such a rank at her age—across all Daoist sects, she’s a rarity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a chubby Daoist spoke with pride, his eyes gleaming as he mentioned Zhenwu Mountain’s pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Daoist cultivation, only when one reaches a state of no thought, enters the utmost stillness, and perceives the Nascent Soul does one barely enter the path of cultivation—this is called [Initial Movement].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, one begins nurturing the Nascent Soul, causing the body to manifest wondrous phenomena and acquire inexplicable Daoist abilities—this is called [Manifest Spirit].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who enter this realm may be granted one of nine ranks: [Qigong], [Shu Tu], [Xuanshi], [Lingsi], [Gonggong], [Dashi], [Zhaishou], [Guanzhu], and [Tianshi], ranked from low to high according to cultivation level and mastery of techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like these two young Daoists before us, in Zhenwu Mountain they hold only the rank of [Qigong], having just glimpsed the wonder of the Nascent Soul—like laborers, they spend their days hauling spiritual energy and celestial light to nurture the Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they advance further, they may cultivate Daoist techniques and assume the rank of [Shu Tu].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mastery of more than twelve minor techniques qualifies one for the rank of [Xuanshi].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one masters a major technique such as [Five Thunder Orthodoxy], one may assume the position of [Lingsi].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for [Gonggong]… that is one who can independently establish an altar and preside over rituals to spirits and deities, wielding power capable of summoning wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister these two Daoists spoke of was actually younger than them, barely in her early twenties, yet already one of Zhenwu Mountain’s few [Gonggong]—her future was unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The elders say… Sister has a real chance of becoming a True One before her transcendence,” said the clear-faced Daoist quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the title [True One], their faces both showed deep reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the nine ranks of Manifest Spirit, the highest is [Tianshi]; beyond it lies the [Pure Yang Infinite State], purifying all yin impurities within the spirit to achieve Pure Yang Infinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such beings are called True Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In history, Master Sanfeng was of this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that lie the legendary [Three Flowers Gather at the Crown] and [Five Qi Converge to the Origin]; crossing the transformation of Three and Five leads to a terrestrial immortal—only glimpsed faintly in ancient texts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Sister receives the Jade Scroll, she may very well reach this level…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Sister has extraordinary talent—when she entered [Initial Movement], she only needed three days to enter stillness, perceive the void, and see the Nascent Soul…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then she needed only forty-nine days to let her Nascent Soul leave her body and wander the eight directions at night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a genius… When I achieved no-thought and perceived the Nascent Soul, it took me three full years. My master said I had innate talent. As for Nascent Soul departure, it took me another three years…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder we’re mortals and Sister is a celestial being… Only a celestial being can receive the Jade Scroll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young Daoists sighed in awe, their gazes unconsciously fixed on the deepest chamber of the Taihe Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… I heard this Jade Scroll Transmission is not ordinary…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the chubby Daoist changed tone abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s unusual about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from our Patriarch that our Ancestor once left a verse, hinting at great calamity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What verse?” asked the clear-faced Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhenwu transmitted the Dao for seventy-three, because of the mortal, calamity follows, descendants must understand,” said the chubby Daoist solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of the mortal, calamity follows?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Zhenwu Mountain’s lineage be doomed by a mere mortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young Daoists exchanged glances, their expressions deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-19T21:05:40.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5e9bfd90536c076350654d08401009e0401f88ffba976ab64848c2c49280f233","pure-yang-chapter-8","pure-yang-chapter-6",520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpure-yang-cover.jpg"]
