Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 592 - 507: External Incarnation

Shenxiao Sect, Yunti Peak.

The gentle, warm sunlight bathes this Spirit Peak, halfway up the mountainside, in a secluded courtyard.

Qi Xiu, dressed in a gray-blue robe, lounges on a long-lost deck chair while the maid Qingyi thoughtfully holds a paper umbrella for him, gently waving a fan.

These are the days I've always pursued...

With both hands behind his head, gazing through the edges of the paper umbrella at the clear and elegant blue sky and white clouds, Qi Xiu shows a faint smile.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he has endured countless hardships and trials.

He seeks this simple, utmost peace.

After resolving the Southern Ming Wasteland affairs, though the current Tianyuan Main Realm is already rife with hidden currents and treacherous clouds.

Within the Great Selection Dynasty, the heroes are contending for supremacy, and battles arise.

But relatively speaking, these are just minor winds and waves.

The overall environment remains relatively restrained.

And Qi Xiu tightly grasps this rare tranquil time, daily dedicating himself to refining a few magical treasures and educating his disciples, aiding his fifth senior brother Ge Ping in improving cultivation and straightening the Dao path.

Under Qi Xiu's guidance, Ge Ping's cultivation is gradually improving, as Qi Xiu had mentioned, his temperament doesn't align with the sect's Thunder Magic, thus his cultivation yields less fruitful results.

And within the ordinary guidance, Qi Xiu passes the entire "Azure Eternal Wood Scripture" to him.

This volume, originating from Qingmu Cliff, complements Ge Ping well, and cultivation naturally progresses rapidly.

Back in the Southern Ming Wasteland, Lin Cong passed this True Scripture to Qi Xiu, noting that it would be best to return the Daoist inheritance. If not, it should at least find a genuine and kind successor.

Recently, Qi Xiu has commissioned others to search for Qingmu Cliff.

But currently, there hasn't been any information. Unless it's hidden within some Grotto Heaven, it likely has already vanished into history.

Ge Ping has a gentle temperament, matching well with this True Scripture, passing it to him doesn't defy the senior's last wish.

However, as Ge Ping's cultivation progresses rapidly, some troublesome matters also follow for Qi Xiu.

The Spirit Peak disciples who usually maintain a good relationship with Yunti Peak, upon discovering that Ge Ping's cultivation was personally guided by Qi Xiu.

Brought various gifts, hoping Qi Xiu would guide their cultivation as well.

Although Qi Xiu is esteemed as True Monarch of the Dao Body, within Shenxiao Sect, he has yet to ascend to an elder's position, nor does he oversee a Spirit Peak or become a Peak Master.

Compared to the Yun Generation Elders within the sect, they have to manage the Spirit Peaks and various sect affairs, leaving little time to guide disciples' cultivation one by one.

Thus, same generation Qi Xiu makes these disciples more willing to approach.

Moreover, Qi Xiu currently holds no official duties, his time is relatively free.

Faced with constantly visiting, eager fellow disciples, Qi Xiu reluctantly but acceded.

He had received many favors from Dongfang Qing, now giving back to the sect, was certainly fitting.

After living in such a fulfilling and peaceful environment for two years.

Dongfang Qing's transmission arrived.

"The Dao Alliance's commendation Law Amulet has arrived, come to Sect Master Peak."

Upon receiving Dongfang Qing's transmission, Qi Xiu knew his vacation time was over.

Thus, under the reluctant gaze of a group of senior and junior brothers, he rode Qingyun to Sect Master Peak.

Within Sect Master Hall.

The usually closed large hall's main gate was opened, yet within the grand and dignified hall, there were only two figures.

One was the Supreme Patriarch of Shenxiao Sect, Dongfang Qing.

And the other was with rounded eyes, slanted ears, full of hair, a thunderous mouth, thin face, with a sharp mouth and sunken cheeks, the figure looked like a monkey eating pine cones.

Although resembling a human, more bizarre than human lacking cheeks.

Moreover, this person was faintly surrounded by a layer of halo, Qi Xiu's extraordinary eyesight still couldn't decipher its true form.

"Disciple Qi Xiu, seeks an audience with Supreme Sect Leader." Suppressing doubts, standing outside the hall, Qi Xiu softly recited.

"Come in."

Stepping into Sect Master Hall, approaching the figure, Qi Xiu subconsciously raised his eyes, seeing this person's appearance, he surprisedly spoke: 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Monster?"

Indeed!

The figure seated opposite Dongfang Qing was a monkey demon.

"Be not disrespectful, this is Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable, sent by the Dao Alliance this time to deliver the Law Amulet, and also a friend of our sect."

Dongfang Qing's gentle reprimand prompted Qi Xiu to offer an apology:

"Forgive my disrespect, True Venerable sir."

"Hehehe, no harm, no harm, I indeed am a monster, little friend is not incorrect.

Dongfang, is this our Hunyuan Myriad Laws True Monarch?"

Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable's appearance was eerie, yet spoke with refined elegance, eyes brimming with clear Buddha Light.

"Indeed, not bad, right?"

Smiling faintly, Dongfang Qing revealed a trace of pride.

Eyes glimmering with Red Gold Divine Light, Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable glanced over Qi Xiu, nodded slowly:

"Not bad, profoundly rooted, body emits Dao Light.

Although just Dao Embodiment Level two, rivals accumulated Dao Body.

This child must at least rank in the top five amongst world talents."

Using secret technique to observe Qi Xiu's foundation, Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable offered high praise.

Top five in the world.

"Top five, you might have misjudged with those golden eyes of yours this time.

I'm not exaggerating.

This disciple at least possesses top three world's foundation.

Within a century, certain to claim the foremost Dao Body!"

An eyebrow raised, Dongfang Qing's convinced and serious words also surprised Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable.

His golden eyes, capable of looking above the heavenly realm vast universe, below the Netherworld shadowy earth.

Judging people and matters accurately.

Yet Dongfang Qing claimed today he misjudged, and from the earnest tone, clearly not an idle boast.

"What, shall we bet on it?"

Seeing Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable's hesitant expression, Dongfang Qing's eyes twirled, the old fox demeanor surfaced again.

"No bet, within the Dao Alliance, who doesn't know Dongfang Qing is undefeated in betting, winning from the start.

No bet, no bet."

Clearly understanding Dongfang Qing's shrewd, near-demonic nature, Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable didn't even think before refusing.

"A jug of Pure Yang Purple Extreme Golden Pill."

Seeing Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable's refusal, Dongfang Qing didn't rush, slowly revealed his stakes.

As expected, hearing the six words "Pure Yang Purple Extreme Golden Pill," Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable's ears twitched, showing interest.

With a smug smile, Dongfang Qing crossed his legs:

"Add three thousand pounds of Outer Realm Spiritual Peach."

Outer Realm Spiritual Peach? Sect Master, how did you obtain three thousand pounds of Outer Realm Spiritual Peach?

Upon hearing Dongfang Qing's second stake, Qi Xiu raised his head in surprise, looking at him puzzled.

Lend me three thousand pounds first, catch this monkey, win the bet and we'll split them half.

Expression unchanged, Dongfang Qing understood Qi Xiu's look, secretly communicated with him.

Seeing Dongfang Qing say so, Qi Xiu refrained from saying more.

And facing Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable, who upon hearing Dongfang Qing's stakes hesitated:

"What do you want to bet?"

"Bet whether this child can become the foremost Dao Body within a century!"

Pointing at Qi Xiu, Dongfang Qing proposed the wager.

Ah?

Briefly stunned, Qi Xiu immediately turned to Dongfang Qing, feeling speechless.

Using me as a bet, and having me provide the stakes.

Sect Master, even when using empty-handed tactics, it shouldn't be like this.

Ignoring Qi Xiu's gaze, Dongfang Qing fixated on Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable opposite.

"Becoming the foremost Dao Body within a century?" Eyes slightly moving, Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable scratched the fur on his cheek, then spoke:

"What do you desire?"

Hooked...

Laughing inwardly, Dongfang Qing remained calm, seemingly pondering, then nonchalantly spoke:

"I know your Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Technique contains a secret technique, called...

External Incarnation!

How about this?"
