Chapter 680 Three Dao and Nine Gates (1)

“Alright, you may leave.”

Cao Wenhong did not continue asking. He turned around and said to Chen Ziqi apologetically, “Our marriage has to wait.”

“It’s fine. Go and understand the situation first.”

Chen Ziqi said magnanimously, “I’ve already come to your house. How can I run away?”

After receiving Chen Ziqi’s understanding, Cao Wenhong walked towards Song Shi. “Senior, if there’s any big trouble, I might need you to save me.”

“Let’s talk about it after we stay here.”

Song Shi glanced at a certain place. “Your Cao family has a Grandmaster guarding it. Think of a way to resolve it yourself first.”

“Yes.”

Cao Wenhong also knows that it’s impossible to ask this person for help for everything. He owes Chen Ziqi a favor, not him.”

“Men, immediately arrange accommodation for everyone and arrange a quiet house for Senior Song.”

Song Shi was brought to a remote place. The environment was quiet and elegant. There was a bamboo forest at the entrance. The wind blew and rustled.

“This place is suitable for cultivation.”

After settling down, Song Shi activated the automatic cultivation system. His main focus was on comprehending the rules and using them.

As for the Cao family’s matter, the other party had a Grandmaster guarding them, but such a thing could still happen. This meant that the person who attacked was not too afraid, but he did not attack openly. Instead, he used these schemes and plots to show that his strength did not have much of an advantage.

For the trouble of this level, as long as they did not provoke him or endanger Chen Ziqi, he was not interested in making a move.

In the afternoon, two people came to visit. One was the head of the Cao Family, who had reached the Connate Grandmaster level. The other was also a Grandmaster and was an expert from the previous generation of the Cao Family.

After getting to know each other briefly, Song Shi continued cultivating and usually lived in seclusion.

The Cao family was indeed capable and did not disturb him for the next few days.

The automatic cultivation system operated for three days. His cultivation level had reached the Perfected Connate realm and he had begun to transform into a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He only needed some time to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

At this speed, it would not be a problem for him to reach the Golden Core realm after protecting Chen Ziqi for a year.

However, this was not enough. If he could find a huge flaw, he might be able to directly change the normal cultivation pattern. For example, he could directly change his cultivation, physique, and spirit.

This flaw was not easy to find. Song Shi studied it for a long time but could not find a way. He could only wait until his cultivation level was higher.

When Song Shi was locked in his room for nearly half a month, one night, Song Shi suddenly sensed something and opened his eyes. “You still provoked me. I have to spend some time tidying up before I can be at peace.”

Although he had not left his house for half a month, he had already cultivated his Divine Telekinesis. With a sweep of his thoughts, he could roughly control the situation.

He disappeared in a flash and arrived at the center of the Cao family mansion.

In a certain manor, it was already midnight, but the lights were still brightly lit. Many guards held weapons in their hands and had vigilant expressions. It was obvious that they were on guard against the enemy in the dark.

Song Shi landed at the main door and looked at the person lying on the ground in the courtyard. He sensed a cold aura.

“Who?”

The guards were extremely nervous when Song Shi suddenly appeared, scaring them.

“I am Song.”

Song Shi stood half a foot away from the ground. His immortal energy fluttered and he looked superhuman. It was obvious that he was not simple.

One of the guards who had seen Song Shi before was overjoyed. “Don’t be nervous. It’s Senior Song!”

Song Shi’s deeds had already spread throughout the Song family. No one present had seen or heard of Song Shi before. They knew that he was a Grandmaster powerhouse. They put down their weapons and made way for him.

Hearing the commotion, footsteps sounded in the courtyard. Soon, Chen Ziqi walked over. Cao Wenhong followed beside her with a dark expression.

Song Shi sensed that the two of them also had a cold aura on them. Before they came over, he waved his hand. The cold power condensed in the courtyard seemed to have evaporated and immediately dissipated.

Everyone felt relieved and the invisible haze dissipated a lot. Cao Wenhong’s face turned green and red as he spat out a mouthful of black blood that was like ice water.

“Brother Song, you have good methods.”

A strong voice appeared in the room. Then, someone walked out majestically. This person looked middle-aged and had a cold expression. He was the head of the Cao family, Cao Zongwan. He was already in his sixties and looked to be in his early forties because he had reached the Connate realm.

Song Shi glanced at the latter. “Looks like you still haven’t dealt with it.”

The latter smiled bitterly. “This should be the Ghost Gate’s method. It’s indeed not easy for martial arts practitioners like us to deal with it.”

This world was divided into the Three Dao and Nine Gates. There were roughly more than ten cultivation styles.

The Three Dao were Immortal, Buddhist, and Martial Dao. The Connate realm of the Immortal Dao could allow one to cultivate Qi Refinement. The Buddhist Dao cultivated the heart and body and emphasized Comprehension. Martial Dao was a cultivation method that was suitable for the general public. The villagers could also learn some lousy martial arts to strengthen their bodies and protect themselves.

As for the Nine Gates, they were some of the main cultivation factions that evolved from the Three Dao. For example, the Ghost Gate that studied the techniques of ghosts and gods, the Medicine Gate that studied alchemy, the Demon Gate that cultivated extreme techniques, and so on.

This was some information that Cao Zongwan had mentioned during the simple conversation. When Song Shi heard this, he looked at Chen Ziqi. “It attacked you, right?”

Chen Ziqi opened her hand and revealed a broken jade pendant with tears in her eyes. “Young Master Song, if not for your Dharma treasure protecting me, I would have died just now.”

“Fortunately, I held back.”

Song Shi frowned and said to Cao Zongwan, “Did you fight?”

“By the time I got here, that thing had already killed someone and run away.”

Cao Zongwan said with admiration, “I guess it might have been injured by the Dharma treasure you made.”

“Did it kill those more important people?” Song Shi asked.

“My three wives and four concubines, six daughters-in-law, and thirteen grandchildren.”

Cao Zongwan’s expression was not good. He was guarding at home and had even let that thing successfully harm people. It was a little embarrassing.

“Other than the children, they’re all women?”

Song Shi was surprised.

“Other than the servants, guards, and children, they’re all women. I think it wants my Cao family to have no descendants.” Cao Zongwan said.

“Interesting. Does it want to kill the women so that you can’t give birth to children? Then kill the children so that you won’t have any descendants?”

Song Shi was stunned. He glanced at Chen Ziqi and sensed her opportunity. He said thoughtfully, “I see.”

“Brother Song, did you find anything?”

Cao Zongwan’s eyes flickered.

“I’ll stay here. If it comes again, I’ll clean it up.”

Song Shi could only choose to wait. He could not be bothered to waste time looking for such things. It was too boring.

Based on its understanding of this kind of guy, if it did not succeed tonight, it would definitely not let the matter rest.

“Sorry to trouble you, Brother Song.”

Cao Zongwan cupped his fists. “I think it’s easy for an expert like you to deal with such things.”

From the fact that Song Shi had such a cultivation level at such a young age and knew how to refine Dharma artifacts, he deduced that Song Shi was a Qi cultivator of the Dao Sect. There were few such existences, but his methods were brilliant. He was not as passive as them, who practiced martial arts.

“Young Master Song, with you around, we can sleep more peacefully.”

Chen Ziqi smiled when she heard this. Compared to more than half a month ago, she looked more gentle and charming.

“You should go out less these days and try your best to lure it out.”

Song Shi looked into the courtyard. “I’ll stay in this room at the door.”
