36: Enlightenment: Wuxiang Sword, Fist to Control Mountains and Rivers, Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers

Qin Chuan opened his mouth and asked, "Is this Daoist title something you intentionally revealed, or…"

The High Priest performing the ritual couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Normally, a mortal could just sprinkle water to form characters, but here, even if you brought the Five Sages and Seven Worthies with you, you might not be able to change the characters displayed on it."

Qin Chuan pondered this for a moment.

Then he asked, "Can I not choose?"

The High Priest could barely hide his surprise at this moment: "Not choose? Why?"

Qin Chuan calmly said, "I think the name 'Wang Xuan' is quite good. There's no need to imbue it with any other meaning."

The High Priest was silent for a rare moment, then said, "Are you sure? If so, the road ahead will be much more difficult."

"Confirmed. I am me."

"So be it!"

The High Priest sighed, then turned and walked down the steps.

Qin Chuan, however, did not regret his decision in the slightest—

Don't bully him for not reading much; all those books in Jinling Library weren't read for nothing.

—Although there was no photographic memory bonus, the things stored in his mind wouldn't disappear.

Regarding the records of the Daoist sect, he had seriously sorted through them once he had just transmigrated.

These several Daoist titles all corresponded to the immortal gods in the Daoist sect.

Especially the first one, 'Spiritual Official'.

Wang Lingguan?

That was a venerable Daoist deity said to be evenly matched with the legendary monkey.

As for the later 'Xuanwei' and 'Ziqiao', they were even more impossible.

Especially 'Ziqiao', which made him recall that kidney-tonifying product!

Absolutely not choosing!

He was just himself, just Wang Xuan.

Even if a prefix were added, it could only be Qin Chuan!

As he was thinking this, the three distorted characters on the ground finally began to faintly fade.

'Xuanwei' and 'Ziqiao' simply disappeared.

As for the two characters 'Lingguan', they lingered, unable to dissipate, shining brightly under the sunlight.

Qin Chuan was speechless, turning his head to prepare for his next battle, not wanting to bother with it.

Who would have thought that just as he was about to turn around, the characters on the ground suddenly shot up.

Qin Chuan couldn't dodge in time and was directly imprinted onto his glabella.

"Holy crap! You're forcing a sale!"

Unfortunately, the next moment, the Reincarnation Simulator's prompt had already arrived.

[Detected cultivation method revision: "Innate Qi Taiyi Scripture" transformed into "Innate Taiyi Thunder Sound Incarnation Scripture"]

[Detected destiny reversal attachment. Do you wish to inherit?]

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow. There was such an operation?

"No! Do not inherit."

Qin Chuan checked himself back and forth, and after finding no changes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Heh! Eat the sugar coating, throw away the cannonball. Are you angry?

However, this incident also made him realize even more—the hidden side of the Da Zhou World was deeper than he had imagined.

Qin Chuan shook his head, looking down at Dongyang City.

"Dao, Dao, Dao… Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao… I walk my own Dao!"

Dongyang Daoist Temple, a flash of lightning!

Sword fell, people separated!

"Daoist Brother is indeed exceptionally talented. This humble Daoist has lost." The young Daoist bowed and said.

Qin Chuan sheathed his sword, the frost and thunder wrapped around the frost sword slowly dissipating.

He sighed: "Little An, you don't need to praise me. I only relied on my physique and thunder to bully you. It doesn't count as truly winning against you."

Little An, however, insisted: "Winning is winning. Aren't my Xuanmen Daoist arts and spirit summoning techniques also external forces?"

"Though that's true, but… alas, forget it."

Qin Chuan sheathed his sword and said, "Prepare a secret room for me. I'll go into seclusion to comprehend for a while."

"Understood."

After speaking, Little An then asked, "Recently, another team of martial artists arrived in Qingzhou. Does Daoist Brother need me to contact them on your behalf?"

"No need. It's enough."

There was another sentence Qin Chuan didn't say—you are the last one!

"Oh." Little An responded, then went to prepare.

Dark room.

Qin Chuan opened his character panel.

[Do you wish to claim 'Hundred Weapons Mastery' and 'Enlightenment (Times: 1)'? (Note: Both can be claimed together, with an additional comprehension bonus)]

[Do you wish to return to the Main World?]

"Claim rewards!" Qin Chuan had been waiting for this moment; there was no reason to give up.

As he made his decision, he found the scene before him changed dramatically.

Looking down, he found that his body was no longer his own, but that of a five or six-year-old child.

This…

Wasn't the so-called Hundred Weapons Mastery supposed to be a direct infusion of memories, where he just clicked wherever he didn't know?

What was going on now?

Just as he was thinking this, a middle-aged man appeared in his vision.

The man walked to the child and handed a short sword to him.

He said in a deep voice, "Qiu'er, you must forget everything and stab with the intention of killing me!"

The child Qin Chuan possessed was stunned: "I, I can't do it, boohoo… Dad, I don't want to learn swordsmanship anymore!"

Seeing this scene, Qin Chuan suddenly understood.

—This child should be Shen Qiu in his childhood?

Was this so-called Hundred Weapons Mastery making him re-experience the insights of those he had defeated?

When he was distracted, Shen Qiu in the scene had already grown two more years.

His eyes flickered slightly, and the wooden stake in front of him was cut into three pieces.

"Clap clap."

Applauses came, and Shen Qiu's father, whose appearance had barely changed, appeared again.

"Not bad, but there's still a long way to go until 'No Thoughts, No Desires, All Under Heaven'!"

With that, he drew the long sword from his waist and shouted:

"Qiu'er, I'll only teach you how to use a sword once. Watch carefully and learn well!"

Buzz!

The sword's edge vibrated, and in an instant, Qin Chuan seemed to see ten thousand twinkling lights, all under heaven…

"Boss! This person looks like a fat sheep? Let's go…"

"Walking alone in the mountains, he might not be easy to deal with."

"Holy crap, this guy's tough! Let's get out of here!"

Bang!!!

With one punch, the qi filled the entire world, and the leader of the Yan Yun Thirteen Riders was directly shattered to pieces.

Along with him, the nearby hill was also shattered.

Qin Chuan exclaimed: What kind of heavenly strong man is this!

Amidst some familiar perilous peaks, dilapidated Daoist temples stood.

Young Little An excitedly said, "Master, I want to go down the mountain! They say there are tigresses in the homes of the common people down the mountain, and I want to go subdue demons!"

"Go fetch the water."

"Oh."

After some time, Little An came again.

"Master, I want to go down the mountain! They say I can find a wife down the mountain!"

"I want to eat tofu."

"Oh, I'll go grind it right away."

"Master, I'm not going down the mountain anymore. Please don't challenge the Inspector, okay?"

"Foolish child, this is the only way out. If I don't become the Inspector, what will you do?"

Half a month later, heavy snow sealed the mountain, and the old Daoist only brought back a pouch of beans that were kept close to him.

Little An blankly took the beans and scattered them across the mountain…

In an instant, banners obscured the sky, the sound of charges shook the heavens, and Daoist soldiers spread across the mountains and fields.

"Go down the mountain!"
