Chapter 324: Chapter 158: Advancing to the Immortal Robe, Reaching the Pinnacle of the Power Barrier! The Former ’Qi and Sword Dual Proficient’ Young Lady Heir, Xiao Mingli

Dawn broke, casting its first light.

Ji Xiu sat cross-legged in his room, using the Primordial Daoist Talisman to advance his cultivation of the Nishang Scroll.

At this very moment.

All 108,000 pores on his body were like bellows, constantly roaring as they opened and closed, breathing in and out.

HUU... HAA... HUU... HAA...

As Ji Xiu’s breath grew deep and steady.

His surging True Gang rushed like a tide, flowing from every pore to completely cover his skin, wrapping him tightly. A long, long time passed...

Then, a sudden CRACK was heard, and after that!

Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, the great net woven from Gang Qi around Ji Xiu suddenly showed cracks spreading across its surface.

It was as if it had been scoured by water and fire, losing its color and weathering away, flaking off and cracking piece by piece...

When the Gang Qi finally dissipated, all the nourishment within the web that had covered Ji Xiu’s body was completely absorbed!

Ji Xiu flicked his finger.

BANG!

His potent Qi and Blood erupted forth. In an instant—

It was as if a great sun had risen in the early morning, its light piercing through the pavilion and even dyeing the sky above his residence with a thin veil of crimson clouds, eclipsing the faint glow of dawn!

A beacon of Qi and Blood!

This was an expression of Essence, Qi, and Spirit that only a Martial Artist at the peak of the Power Barrier, one who had donned an Immortal Robe, could manifest!

[Advance on ’Nishang Scroll’ complete!]

[Feathered Immortal Robe—Nishang Scroll!]

[Initially created by a Martial Saint after studying a wisp of a Human Immortal’s remnant Qi Mechanism.]

[At the Jade Skin stage, it sheds deep-seated impurities. At the True Gang stage, it can condense the Purest Gang. Upon reaching the Immortal Robe stage, it can become Dao Grade!]

[The Immortal Robe is a ’fruit’ reaped when the physical body is tempered to its absolute limit, born from the flesh, bone, and skin. It represents the body’s Perfection, an achievement of being flawless and immaculate.]

[From this point on, one need only open the Qi Sea and activate the Spirit Collection Mechanism for a Martial Artist to manifest a Martial Dao Anomaly and be called a Grandmaster!]

[Immortal Robes are divided into three grades.]

[Mortal Grade Immortal Robe: Can be condensed by those who have achieved Great Success with their physical body but have not broken the Two Limits of flesh and bone. Grants immunity to water and fire.]

[Spirit Grade Immortal Robe: Can be attained by those who have broken the Body Great Limit and cultivated a Spirit Grade Immortal Robe Cultivation Technique. Below the Qi Dao, one becomes difficult to harm with Martial Arts or Dao Skills.]

[Daoist Immortal Robe: Requires breaking the Two Limits of flesh and bone, cultivating the Purest Gang, and supplementing with a Daoist Immortal Robe Scroll, all accomplished in a single, fluid process!]

[An Immortal Robe of this realm is the prototype for the Three Limits. Without condensing a Dao Grade Robe, it is difficult to obtain the Purple Ribbon!]

[Once this Immortal Robe is condensed, one will have few rivals in the same realm, save for Prodigy Daoists. When a Lower Grade Grandmaster with impure True Qi attacks the Daoist Treasure Robe with Martial Arts, fifty percent of their power will be negated!]

Ji Xiu’s eyes remained closed, like a furnace refining steel.

At this moment, he could feel that every inch of his skin was covered by a layer of ’Immortal Robe’ as thin as a cicada’s wing.

And in that same instant.

A sudden understanding dawned on him, and he couldn’t help but recall the state of Hex Shouyi, "Divine Fist Unrivaled" of the Divine Fist Sect—one of the original Four Great Halls—the first Martial Artist in the Immortal Robe Realm he had ever seen, half a year ago in Anning County.

With every breath he took.

Not a feather could be added, not a mosquito could land.

And this was it.

[Tutor has advanced to the peak of the Power Barrier, the Immortal Robe Realm!]

[By using the Primordial Daoist Talisman, Tutor has comprehended the profound principles of the ’Immortal Robe’ and mastered its attainments—’not a feather could be added, not a mosquito could land.’ Advance progress increased by +63!]

[Nishang Scroll: (63/1000)!]

[The Feathered Immortal Robe is a top-tier Feather Transformation Scroll capable of condensing a Treasure Body. The Perfection of its four scrolls is like the ’Four Seasons Rotation’.]

[Initial formation of the Jade Skin is like a dead tree sprouting new buds in early spring;]

[Cultivating the True Gang is like a youth as radiant as the scorching sun, with Qi like a sea of fire, piercing the Taurus constellation;]

[Donning the Immortal Robe is like autumn surpassing spring, bearing great fruit, a masterpiece completed!]

[Advancement Condition: A Daoist Treasure Robe is a fruit of the physical body and cannot be improved with the turbid breath of the mortal world. One must sit within a ’Blessed Land,’ consuming Spirit Breath daily to increase progress.]

[By cultivating the ’Nishang Scroll,’ Tutor can use its ’Four Seasons Rotation’ Trait. Find an Earth Treasure that embodies the grim killing intent of autumn to fill the body, allowing the Immortal Robe to solidify ahead of schedule and be fully cultivated!]

As the ’Immortal Robe’ condensed within the pavilion, the beacon of Qi and Blood outside suddenly transformed. It was as if a Rainbow Skirt had appeared, dyeing the air with brilliant colors and stunning the crowd that had gathered due to the commotion:

"That prodigy the Marquis Daughter invited... has his cultivation advanced again?"

"His Qi and Blood took form, nearly becoming a beacon. That’s the sign of forming an Immortal Robe."

"But this ’Anomaly’... it doesn’t look like a normal beacon of Qi and Blood! Even a Spirit Grade Immortal Robe would never produce such a Qi Mechanism!"

"Could it be... a Daoist Immortal Robe? The kind that breaks the Skin Barrier Great Limit and promises Ghost God Avoidance?!"

"Hiss!"

The guards and maids serving in a place like the Marquis’s Mansion, teeming with hidden masters, were all personally selected and vetted by the Marquis himself.

Most were promoted from his Personal Guard. Granny Shi, for example, had a perspective that wasn’t limited to a single mansion; she had seen the wider world.

Naturally, they were not unfamiliar with the classifications of the Immortal Robe.

And for that very reason...

When they saw the commotion coming from Ji Xiu’s pavilion, none of them could maintain a calm expression.

A Daoist Immortal Robe!

An ordinary Martial Artist might not realize the profundity of this realm.

But only those Martial Artists who had fought against the Outer Dao and witnessed the methods from Divine Skills, Immortal Techniques, and Buddhist Secret Scrolls could possibly know what this achievement truly represented!

A Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe was said to grant Ghost God Avoidance, making one impervious to Skills and Arts.

This meant that if a Martial Artist could temper their Flesh, Bone, and Skin to reach this level, they could resist all Dao Skills and Daoist Skills relying on their Qi and Blood alone!

Note, *all* of them!

As long as it wasn’t a master-level ’Daoist Level’ technique—one of those Divine Power Skills from the orthodox, Side Sect, or heretical paths...
