The identity of Dai Qisi, the Purple Robe Dragon King, is quite special because she is a member of the Persian Sect and has a powerful backing. When Yang Dingtian was still alive, he faced immense pressure from the martial arts community of the Central Plains. The strength of Manichaeism was significantly inferior to that of the Persian Sect, which is why he was fundamentally unwilling to antagonize the Persian Sect. This led him to grant Dai Qisi the position among the Four Great Dharma Kings and provide her with numerous privileges.
Thus, even though the Purple Robe Dragon King does not share the same intentions as Manichaeism and has not contributed any significant achievements to it over the years, Manichaeism is too lazy to restrain her, fearing that she might sneak back to the Persian Sect and say something inappropriate, drawing their attention away from Manichaeism.
However, Jiang Han does not tolerate her bad habits! In his view, it is precisely because too many privileges were given to Dai Qisi in the past that she has gained the audacity to act recklessly.
As for the Persian Sect? Despite its overall strength, it has not moved against Manichaeism in recent years not out of kindness but because it is embroiled in internal strife and has no time to spare for others.
"Dai Qisi, or perhaps Golden Flower Granny, what is she doing at Kongtong Sect?" Jiang Han asked irritably. He knows that the Persian Sect arranged for Dai Qisi to enter Manichaeism with specific tasks in mind. One involves the Holy Fire Token, and the other concerns the Transference of Heaven and Earth.
The Persian Sect possesses a complete version of Transference of Heaven and Earth, unlike Manichaeism, which lacks the seventh layer version. It is said that the Founder of the Sect of Manichaeism was a holy child of the Persian Sect. For some unknown reason, he brought the Holy Fire Token to the Western Regions and named the power he established there Manichaeism.
Over these hundreds of years, the Persian Sect has always coveted Manichaeism. If it weren't for their fear of Eastern powers, they might have forcibly incorporated Manichaeism instead of using more conciliatory methods by sending a female disciple to gradually seek out the Holy Fire Token and Transference of Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method.
At this moment, Yang Xiao stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Leader, our scouts dared not get too close, but they vaguely heard Dai Qisi questioning the Kongtong Five Elders about the Holy Fire Token after injuring them, and hurriedly reported back."
Jiang Han thought for a moment and replied, "In that case, let’s keep someone watching while also spreading out our people to search widely. We cannot just wait idly. I have only one request: keep a low profile and don’t let the whole world know."
He had never seen the Holy Fire Token. Although it was rumored to be merely a token of faith, he did not believe a word of it. If it were truly just a token, why would the Persian Sect be so obsessed with investigating and pursuing it for hundreds of years?
If he was not mistaken, the Holy Fire Token was definitely not that simple; it was either the key to unlocking some hidden treasure or it contained an important legacy itself.
For both the Persian Sect and Manichaeism, one of the ancestral teachings passed down through generations of leaders was to retrieve the Holy Fire Token. When Jiang Han ascended as the Manichaeism Leader, he had already expressed his intention to seek out the Holy Fire Token, so he naturally would not be doing it just for show.
"Yes, we understand!" Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao both clasped their hands in acknowledgment.
"Is there anything else to report?" Jiang Han looked at them both, who seemed to exchange glances without any further matters to discuss, so he stood up and said, "If that's the case, then let's each get back to our tasks."
"Yes, we take our leave!"
Time passed quickly. Jiang Han had been in seclusion for over half a month and had gradually begun to grasp the path ahead. His understanding of what constituted the Fusion Realm had deepened significantly. He was now nearly at the pinnacle of Transcendence Realm; with another year or so of diligent cultivation using his methods, he would surely be able to smoothly advance to Fusion Realm and become a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in that realm.
As he learned more, his understanding of the Martial Arts Grandmaster deepened.
In the martial world, the Transcendence Realm is commonly referred to as the Martial Arts Grandmaster, the Fusion Realm as the Grandmaster of Martial Arts, and the Youngshen Realm as the Martial Arts Deity.
Once a martial artist reaches the Youngshen Realm, they resonate with the heavens and earth; their movements, whether walking or sitting, can create extraordinary phenomena. With a single sword strike, they can sink rivers; with a single palm, they can break mountains; they can burn the sky and boil the seas—these are not mere words.
The Secret Scripture of the Sect Leader from Manichaeism records that the Founder of the Sect, in his later years, donned a cloak of colorful light and wielded a Linglong carving knife to sculpt a mountain the size of a nuclear sculpture. After gently blowing on it and tossing it to the ground, it transformed into the Bright Summit of Manichaeism.
Throughout history, leaders of Manichaeism have dismissed such stories as absurdities, believing not a word of them. Some even went so far as to annotate: "What nonsense! There should be some limits to flattery!"
In their view, anyone capable of such earth-shattering feats has long transcended the realm of martial artists. Even legendary immortals would find it challenging to achieve such feats.
However, at this moment, Jiang Han was increasingly certain that the Founder of the Sect from Manichaeism, who had once journeyed to the Eastern Continent as a holy figure of the Persian Sect, had indeed reached an unfathomable realm in martial arts.
He even maintained a skeptical attitude regarding whether this supreme figure had truly turned to dust as recorded. Would someone with such extraordinary martial prowess really find it so easy to pass away?
Had they not discovered any methods for prolonging life? Jiang Han found this hard to believe.
He preferred to think that those ancient beings were hiding in some corner, plotting something astonishing, waiting for the right moment in a grand era to emerge and seize their destiny!
