Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 493: Enthronement (Please Subscribe)

"His Dharma Body has personally arrived!"

Everyone was taken aback, and immediately sighed, "No wonder it was so fast!"

One has to know, that assassination and great battle took place just last night!

The bluebird delivered the message, and the True Monarch arrived!

Even Zhong Shenxiu felt a faint pressure.

"We shall go out to welcome the True Monarch with respect."

The Fourth Prince was startled for a moment before he hastily led people out to greet the Teaching True Monarch of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Putting aside his identity, just the fact that he was a Dharma Body Cultivator was enough to warrant his respectful greeting.

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at Bai Yunxian, then left with an indifferent air.

In his previous fight with the Faceless Buddha, he had relied on a Spiritual Treasure!

And Bai Yunxian had at most witnessed the Great Five Elements Annihilation Light. She was not a Primordial Spirit; how could she recognize such divine light?

There are other cultivation techniques involving the Five Elements Divine Light in the world, not only those of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

As for Lord Qingyuan and the Fourth Prince, they were even less likely to have that discernment. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

However, if the Faceless Buddha had lived, he would definitely have been able to see the clues.

Alas... he had already been silenced.

Zhong Shenxiu did indeed have an interest in meeting this Teaching True Monarch from the Dragon Tiger Sect.

He stood with the others, looking in the direction of Changluo.

Others may not have seen it, but through his spiritual eyes, he saw colorful auras converging in that direction, transforming into the shapes of dragons and tigers, drawing ever closer.

A streak of purple qi stretched across hundreds of miles, like a carpet unfurled.

Soon after, a middle-aged Daoist with an ordinary appearance walked towards them at a leisurely pace.

He wore a simple black and white Daoist robe, with a Dragon and Tiger Crown on his head, looking no different from an ordinary Daoist of the Dragon Tiger Sect.

But one look into his eyes and one would distinguish him from ordinary cultivators.

The gentle depths of his eyes seemed to contain immeasurable profundity.

More crucially, his demeanor was like a profound abyss, unconsciously drawing people in.

At least, even Bai Yunxian, who possessed the Three Calamities Primordial Pill, upon seeing this True Monarch, stood dumbfounded, utterly at his mercy.

’A Sect Hierarch-level figure has refined his Dharma Body, perfectly suppressing or rather controlling the state of transcendence... and he has Dao Rhythm about him... Ordinary people, even cultivators, will be lost in it if they are not careful.’

Zhong Shenxiu felt a pang in his heart; this situation was not the worst of it.

If this True Monarch were to release his transcendence, revealing his true Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body, then those unlucky ones who faced the Five Lotus Demon Monarch back then would have been the best example.

Even though he perfectly suppressed the state of transcendence, this Dao rhythm was unparalleled in its attraction to those who aspired to pursue the Heavenly Dao.

Zhong Shenxiu was briefly immersed, as if he saw a towering deity, holding a grand seal, with dragons and tigers flanking him.

Every inch of the lines seemed to be the ultimate interpretation of the Heavenly Dao.

’It’s a pity... it’s only a representation of the Heavenly Dao the other has comprehended. If I fully believed it, I would fall into his framework, and it would be difficult to extricate myself...’

He was firm in his Dao Heart and immediately disengaged from this state, mentally scoffing, ’Practicing cultivation in such an environment will surely lead to future troubles... The Dharma Body is able to perfectly control the physical state of transcendence, but the pollution of the spirit is not so easily resolved...’

’Perhaps most, if not all, of the current Dharma Body experts have certain spiritual issues.’

Having a spiritual problem doesn’t necessarily mean one is insane.

It could simply be a bit of obsession, a bit of compulsion... Depending on the severity of the issue, the symptoms and destructiveness displayed will also differ.

Presently, Zhong Shenxiu, looking at this middle-aged Daoist, did not discern any inappropriateness.

’Not right... does not his single-minded assistance to the imperial court count as a kind of obsession?’

He thought to himself, feeling that True Monarch Zhang had concealed his own Dao rhythm.

"Have seen True Monarch!"

The Fourth Prince, as if awakening from a dream, looked at Qingwei Dao Miao Zhenjun and hurriedly paid his respects, "For Your Excellency to personally visit after such a mishap befalls me, I am truly flustered and awed!"

"An assassination attempt on the Prince is no trifling matter!"

True Monarch Zhang’s voice was calm, as if nothing in this world could pluck at his heartstrings. At this moment, his gaze once again fell upon Zhong Shenxiu.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Shenxiu felt two beams of Divine Light coming at him, almost seeing right through him.

If it were during his Primordial Pill stage, such a magnate may have been able to spot his flaws with one glance.

But now, he simply smiled silently, while behind him a Wuji Pearl emerged, transforming into myriad forms.

This Demon Sect Spiritual Treasure was not only self-containing a Grotto Heaven inside, but it was also a supreme treasure for casting illusions!

’So there’s a treasure suppressing his destiny...’

True Monarch Zhang swept a glance and was somewhat dazzled, for apart from that pearl, he seemed to perceive the outlines of several divine treasures!

He was nothing less than a walking treasure trove!

And what’s more, his foundation was profound, apparently unaffected by his own pressure, giving off a feeling of an equal standing. This meant his strength was extraordinary, topping among those in the Primordial Spirit stage.

’And... his eyes have seen the vicissitudes of life, he carries an unearthly quality; he must be at least a hundred years old... But Young Master Shen Xiu appeared in Fufeng Protectorate only a handful of years ago... Has he been hiding his power all this time?’

True Monarch Zhang felt somewhat troubled.

He felt as though the other party was one of those old monsters of the Primordial Spirit stage who had cultivated for many years, yet also seemed like one harboring some secret.

But the most problematic aspect was that the other’s strength seemed to surpass his expectations.

Moreover, the fact that he could face him calmly, unafraid of being slapped to death by a careless stroke from him, indicated that the other either was mad or had something to rely upon.

At the very least, he had the confidence to escape from his grasp!

"You are Zhong Shenxiu?"

He sighed inwardly and took the initiative to speak.

"Indeed, have seen True Monarch Zhang."

Zhong Shenxiu bowed slightly; he had a relatively favorable impression of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Because aside from a few disgusting fellows, a significant portion of his own cultivation techniques originated from them.

’Alas... were it not for the circumstances forcing my hand, I might well have become an official elder of the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect...’

’But now, it seems that the Sect Hierarch isn’t going to investigate the death of that disciple whose name I can’t remember...’

’I wonder what his expression would be if he knew I killed Zhang Taiyi?’

Zhong Shenxiu performed his courtesy, all the while secretly sneering to himself.

"You saved the Prince and have merited great service to the state."

True Monarch Zhang spoke indifferently, causing Lord Qingyuan’s face beside him to reveal a pleased expression.

"This is not a place for conversation. Please, True Monarch, come inside!" Bai Yunxian stepped forward.

Although she was one of the Changluo Eight Spirit Officials and a Three Calamities True Man, her status was still too low in the eyes of True Monarch Zhang.

"Very well."

True Monarch Zhang stepped inside without any pretenses, unabashedly taking the seat of honor, casting his gaze around before finally converging it on Zhong Shenxiu, "You have slain Wu Mian Fo and accomplished great merits; His Majesty intends to bestow upon you the title of True Monarch, what say you?"

Upon these words, the faces of the Fourth Prince and others immediately showed astonishment.

To bestow the title of True Monarch upon a Primordial Spirit!

Although such an event was not without precedent, it was extremely rare.

Those who had been honored thus, were always geniuses among Primordial Spirits of peerless distinction!
