I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 931 Manifestation of the Dharma Form, Traces of the Spear's Dao

After bidding farewell to the three women, Ye Kang returned to the Three Offices.

As soon as they stepped inside, a surprised and doubtful voice rang out.

"Huh? Am I seeing things?"

Lokilin appeared in front of Ye Kang in disbelief, his face filled with nothing but astonishment.

Yin Chu Jing!

how can that be!

Ye Kang, unperturbed, cupped his hands to Luo Qilin and said, "Greetings, General. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to successfully gather Qi."

"This isn't just about successfully gathering Qi anymore... You just returned to your true form after gathering it?"

Lochlin's face still showed utter disbelief.

Ye Kang naturally knew his doubts and did not hide anything, immediately recounting what had happened on the way.

Upon hearing that Ye Kang had killed an elder of the Dragon Chart Sect, Luo Qilin frowned deeply.

“There are many vicious people in Kuizhou, and the Longtu Sect is particularly notorious. On the surface, they claim to be righteous, but in reality, they do all sorts of evil. It’s already a miracle that you were able to come back alive after being targeted by them. You’ve had a tough time.”

"General, I wonder if the Longtu Sect will come to Leizhou to seek revenge?"

"Impossible. They don't have the guts. As long as that young master isn't dead, they won't take such a big risk to seek revenge. But you shouldn't go to Kuizhou again so easily. After all, the Longtu Sect also has experts, especially the Longtu Ancestor, whose strength is unimaginable."

"Understood, I probably won't go there again."

"Then you must be extra careful. As long as you are not within the territory of the Martial Dynasty, the Dragon Chart Sect may hunt you down."

Lokilin shook his head and continued to admonish Ye Kang.

After all, after this incident, his relationship with the Longtu Sect was one of irreconcilable enmity.

Ye Kang nodded, expressed his gratitude to Luo Qilin, and then said, "General, now that I have reached the Returning to Truth Realm, I think it's time to deal with those demons who have invaded Luoyan Prefecture."

"Hmm? What do you want to do?" Luo Qilin was shocked. He didn't expect this kid to be so decisive. Could it be that the Holy Emperor really sent him to clean up Luoyan Prefecture?

Ye Kang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Luoyan Prefecture is the territory of our Wu Dynasty. Demons and monsters run rampant and enslave the people. How can we ignore this?"

"General Ye, you are only at the Yin stage. Even if you have strength comparable to the Yang stage, you should not be too ambitious. Many of those bastards who consume incense offerings are at the mid-to-late stage of the Returning to Truth realm."

Lokilin frowned, not understanding where Ye Kang got this courage.

It's even stranger that he's definitely not a reckless person.

Ye Kang smiled slightly and said, "It's not just the initial Yang Qi. I already have it. I will break through again soon."

"What! Are you serious?!"

Lochlin's eyes widened; this time, he was genuinely shocked.

The primordial Yang energy is already there? When did he obtain it?

Also, how come he described breaking through to the Yang Chu realm as so simple?

Even with the energy of heaven and earth, one still needs to break through bottlenecks. Doesn't this guy have any bottlenecks at all?

He pursed his dry lips and said softly, "This matter still needs careful consideration. However, you can expand further. Everything should be done slowly."

"Thank you, General. I understand."

Ye Kang's expression brightened, and he happily took his leave.

Lokilin was somewhat apprehensive. Did this kid really understand?

……

Soon, news of Ye Kang's return spread throughout the Demon Suppression Division.

Throughout the entire prefecture, powerful and influential martial artists also heard some of the rumors.

"I heard that the newly arrived Demon Suppression General has broken through to the True Realm."

"I've heard that too. So young, and only at the Returning to Truth Realm, I'm afraid he'll be transferred from Luoyan Prefecture soon."

"Such a genius, how enviable!"

Many martial artists began to talk about Ye Kang.

He handled a lot of official business in the government office, after all, he had been away for a few days and had sent over a lot of files.

The simple ones were handed over directly to Kuang Zheng and the two deputy generals.

For example, if there are troubles within the county, such as bandits causing chaos or demons eating people, the two lieutenants can resolve them.

However, they could not go beyond Fengxian County, because from Daixian County onwards, it was entirely the territory of demons.

Everywhere there are incense-burning temples, and demons act as great immortals, treating the people in their territory as livestock.

Not only did they exploit the offerings of incense, but they also frequently allowed demons to run rampant, causing countless troubles.

The files on these matters have almost completely filled Ye Kang's desk.

He quickly finished reviewing the files, and then summoned Kuang Zheng and two lieutenants.

The three men stood before the jury table, all appearing somewhat reserved.

There was nothing we could do; our master had suddenly gone from the Nirvana Realm to the Return to Truth Realm—this was simply too outrageous.

Nirvana to returning to one's true self may seem like just a difference in realm, but the difference in combat power between them is like an insurmountable chasm.

Especially Wang Xun and Yan Wenduan, who had never so directly experienced Ye Kang's talent before, were like frogs at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon.

But now that he has personally witnessed Ye Kang's talent, it's like a mayfly seeing the blue sky. The gap is too big. Looking at his face, he feels a sense of despair. How can he not be reserved?

Ye Kang didn't seem to care and said in a friendly manner, "Have you looked through these files?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we have reviewed them all. Most of them were sent from Dai County. The situation there is becoming increasingly serious, and local officials have completely lost their ability to supervise the demons," Kuang Zheng replied first.

Then Yan Wenduan nodded and said, "Moreover, the two True Immortal Demon Saints in Dai County have already consumed countless offerings of incense. The people have to go to their temples to worship every day, which is no different from being walking corpses."

Ye Kang glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He understands the importance of incense offerings; if one is not devout, the amount of incense offerings one can receive is limited.

Therefore, those people were truly worshipping sincerely, which is different from being mere zombies.

The way to get them to genuinely worship is quite simple: cause some natural or man-made disasters, then step in to resolve them.

Wang Xun wanted to say something, but just then, Ye Kang suddenly raised his right hand, signaling them to be quiet.

Suddenly, his incense seed trembled violently.

Since connecting with the true meaning of Brahma, the incense seed has also gained more mystical power, and at this moment it is telling Ye Kang something through the true meaning of Brahma.

Ye Kang focused his mind on the true meaning of Brahma, and the great power of the incense path surged in. It was as if he had opened his heavenly eye, and he could clearly perceive the source of his incense.

Although the incense sticks are scattered, they can still be divided into three directions, representing his three temples.

One of them, shrouded in a thin mist, is clearly the Water-Suppressing General Temple beside the Poyang Lake.

The other two temples, however, were incredibly conspicuous and brightly lit, and very close to us.

These are the two temples that were just built in Feng County.

What caught Ye Kang's attention was the temple that used to belong to the Great Tooth Immortal.

It seemed as if a voice was pleading frantically.

"General Zhenshui! Save us!"

"what!"

……

The county was sealed off.

In front of the Zhenshui General Temple, two ferocious black figures slowly walked over, their four lantern-sized eyes making one's legs go weak at just one glance.

Two massive, bull-shaped demons were approaching the temple, their broad iron hooves pounding the ground.

The bull demon on the left snorted heavily and spoke in human language, saying, "Is this the human who killed the Great Tooth Immortal? He looks quite ordinary."

The bull demon on the right scoffed, "He's just an arrogant fool. Killing a simpleton is nothing, yet he dares to try and steal our offerings."

“That’s right. The Five-Horned Great Sage has promised that this place will be under the control of us brothers. This temple should be dedicated to us brothers.”

The two bull demons chuckled wickedly, eliciting countless screams.

The villagers in front of the temple were so frightened that they trembled all over and could only kneel on the ground, begging for mercy frantically.

Only one young villager mustered his courage and rushed into the temple, shouting at Ye Kang's golden statue, "Help!"

At this moment, they could only place their hopes on this silent statue.

Although the boy knew it was probably all in vain, the majestic figure of the Water-Suppressing General still lingered in his mind.

Seeing this, the two bull demons laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"Interesting, interesting. Are you begging your gods to save your lives?"

“Dull-witted humans, but they should taste delicious.”

"Brother, these are all top-quality incense materials. If you eat them, wouldn't you be wasting the incense offerings?"

"It's alright, it's just one to taste, it won't affect anything. These mortals can have as many as they want."

The bull demon on the right didn't care at all. He opened his right hand, and black demonic energy rushed out, instantly grabbing the boy who was crying for help in his hand.

Looking at the bull demon's ferocious face, the boy felt despair.

Just then, a furious voice suddenly rang out.

"How brave!"

The next second, everyone was stunned. The golden statue of the Water-Suppressing General began to tremble violently, and endless spiritual light descended. The golden statue flew out directly, and the Demon-Slaying Blade in its hand slashed downwards without hesitation.

The slash was as fast as a blur. In an instant, a bull demon was cut in two, including its demonic soul, which didn't even have a chance to escape before turning into fragments.

"Brother! How dare you!"

The other bull demon was shocked and instinctively tried to use his demonic power to fight back. Then, a flash of cold light appeared, and a blade slashed diagonally, splitting him in two.

His consciousness, too, went completely black, and he was never to live again.

The golden statue of the Water-Suppressing General stood proudly in the air, its gaze seemingly real, revealing a fierce and captivating aura.

That's right, it was Ye Kang who sensed the believer's plea for help through the true meaning of Brahma and directly sent down his Dharma form through incense.

Although it was the first time, Ye Kang's cultivation level was still at the Returning to Truth Realm, which naturally overwhelmed the two eighth-level bull demons.

The power of the Dharma form is far beyond what they can withstand.

Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, they only saw the golden statue of the Water-Suppressing General suddenly rush out, casually cleave the bull demon in two with a single stroke, and then, seemingly unintentionally, cleave it in half again.

The entire process took no more than two breaths!

The boy, who had been enveloped by demonic energy, also landed on the ground, staring in disbelief at the scene.

The next second, the golden statue turned its head, flew back into the temple, and once again turned into a statue, motionless.

But the boy's pupils suddenly contracted.

"He just...looked at me...the spirit of the Water-Suppressing General has appeared!"

It's miraculous!

The news spread quickly throughout the surrounding villages, and all the villagers rushed over excitedly to pay their respects to Ye Kang.

At that moment, countless drops of pure incense smothered Ye Kang in the government office, giving him a feeling of comfort.

Nevertheless, his face remained terrifyingly dark.

"Too deceiving!"

He never expected that those demons would be so audacious as to dare to directly break into Feng County. If he hadn't just broken through to the Returning to Truth Realm, they would have caused a huge mess.

At this moment, he was really angry.

“Wang Xunyan Wenduan”.

"The general is here!"

The two lieutenants quickly bowed, their expressions filled with alarm.

They didn't know what had happened, or why the general had suddenly become angry.

Ye Kang didn't explain, and said directly: "Mobilize all available forces of the Demon Suppression Division. I want to vanquish the demons."

"what!"

The other three people in the room all gasped in surprise, staring at Ye Kang in disbelief.

They certainly understood what the words "slay the demons" meant; it meant that the general was going to take the initiative to drive away the wild gods outside the county.

But isn't this a bit too fast?

The three of them hesitated to answer.

Ye Kang raised his eyes: "Just do it, that's an order."

"Here!"

The three of them immediately realized what was happening and retreated to prepare.

Ye Kang took a deep breath: "Those demons are quite powerful; some mid-stage Wild Gods might even cause trouble. Just in case, I can't be careless."

Without any hesitation, he entered the Jade Realm and summoned the Spring Equinox energy.

He had exactly 500 million comprehension points left, which were a system reward when he broke through to the True Nature realm.

He asked, "System, how much comprehension is needed to refine the next strand of Qi?"

【Ding】

[You can break through again by consuming 6000000 Comprehension Points]

Okay, we're a million short.

Ye Kang didn't dwell on it. Since he couldn't improve his cultivation level for the time being, he would use it to improve his combat power.

After all, his combat strength was not just about overwhelming his cultivation level.

"System, comprehend the Dawnbreaker Divine Spear."

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, for consuming 5000000 points of Enlightenment and successfully mastering the Dawnbreaker Divine Spear technique to the Lesser Mastery level.]

In a flash, his comprehension was cleared again, and countless insights descended.

As Ye Kang's strongest martial art, the value of the Dawnbreaker Divine Spear is self-evident; it requires five million comprehension points just to advance to a minor realm.

But after witnessing the power of the Dawnbreaker Spear, Ye Kang knew it was absolutely worth it!

In a daze, he once again entered a state of enlightenment.

It was a sect with an ethereal aura, resembling a heavenly court, the Taiqing Dao Sect.

He became one of the geniuses, mastering one of the top-tier True Spirit Martial Arts, the Dawnbreaker Divine Spear, and quickly integrated it into his understanding.

Gradually, Ye Kang learned more.

This True Spirit Martial Art is a top-tier martial art jointly deduced by several Dao Integration Realm experts, and it also incorporates the Dao of the Spear.

As one's martial arts level improves, one can gradually master a portion of the power of Dao traces.

For example, right now, Ye Kang suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body radiating platinum light. From a distance, he looked like a long spear soaring into the sky, sharp and piercing.

He casually waved his hand upwards, and a crack appeared in the air.

This is the domineering nature of the Way of the Gun, its ultimate piercing ability.

Although he only mastered a portion of it, Ye Kang's strength increased by at least 50%.

The Brahmin and the whale-slayer in the distance were completely stunned.

"It seems he used the power of Dao Mark!"

"This is unbelievable! What kind of genius is this kid? His talent is just too outrageous!"
