Human Clan Defender-Chapter 796 - s 109 to 110: The Title of Martial Saint, Directly Pointing to the Divine Spirit’s Legacy (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_3

By now, he had seen the content of the Heavenly Human Realm. Although it didn't substantially solve his own problems, it allowed him to compare it with the path he had previously taken, thereby solidifying his foundation slightly. Soon, after reviewing the Heavenly Human Realm, Dongfang Zhao flipped to the section on the Immortal Golden Body Realm. In an instant, his gaze was completely captivated. Page by page, the details regarding the Immortal Golden Body Realm were fully revealed.

An unknown amount of time passed. When he turned to a new page, there were no lengthy texts, only two large golden characters: Cave Heaven!

The moment his eyes fell on those two characters, Dongfang Zhao felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. A torrent of information surged from the depths of his mind, leaving him dazed and lost in thought. After a long while, he regained consciousness from that state, his Divine Soul immediately feeling an intense weakness. However, Dongfang Zhao paid no mind to the weakness. Instead, he reviewed the information he had received, his previously calm face gradually showing shock and joy.

"Cave Heaven Realm!" he exclaimed softly. "This is the Dharma of the Cave Heaven Realm."

Defender Shen must have reached this Realm to leave behind his insights and cultivation methods for the Cave Heaven Realm in the Martial Arts Compendium. If the Immortal Golden Body Realm is equivalent to the Saint Rank, then the Cave Heaven Realm... could it be equivalent to—

God!

Barring any surprises, Defender Shen must be at a realm comparable to an Ancient Divine Spirit.

Reaching this conclusion, though shocked, he soon felt at peace. Divine Spirits might be elusive, but with Defender Shen's strength, truly reaching such a realm was not impossible. Straightaway, Dongfang Zhao understood the importance of the Martial Arts Compendium even more. Contained within it was the cultivation Dharma of the Cave Heaven Realm, tantamount to a legacy that pointed directly to Ancient Divine Spirits. With such a legacy, the Human Clan could hope to continuously produce powerhouses comparable to Ancient Divine Spirits in the future. Even though the likelihood was low, compared to having no hope at all in the past, now having even a sliver of hope was much better.

Taking a deep breath, he closed the Martial Arts Compendium and then closed his eyes to silently digest what he had just learned. After a good while, Dongfang Zhao reopened his eyes, a trace of a smile evident within them.

"I see the path ahead!"

He had first obtained the earlier content of the Martial Arts Compendium, then the cultivation Dharma of the Cave Heaven Realm. Coupled with the insights from Cave Heaven Realm powerhouses contained within, he was able to corroborate his own path. At present, although Dongfang Zhao wasn't certain he could forge a new path with one hundred percent confidence, making some modest progress on his existing foundation was not an issue. In other words, he had absolute confidence in reaching the mid-stage of the Saint Rank. Whether he could break through further, or even surpass the limits of the Saint Rank, remained unknown. But no matter what, there was now such hope.

"This trip to the Martial Hall has been quite fruitful. I heard that both the fifth floor of the Martial Hall and the Martial Dao Grand Institute contain Divine Skills. Now is a good time to check them out and see which one surpasses the Divine Skills of the Demon-Subduing Division."

A slight smile appeared on Dongfang Zhao's lips as he left his seat and walked upstairs. He had long known that the Martial Dao Grand Institute and the Martial Hall possessed Divine Skills; it was just that he had never seen them with his own eyes. Speaking of Divine Skills, the Demon-Subduing Division itself possessed one, of which Dongfang Zhao had already mastered a fair amount. He was also aware that Divine Skills valued quality over quantity, so upon hearing about other Divine Skills, he hadn't rushed to examine them immediately. Now that he was at the Martial Hall, he might as well take a look.

「Half a day later.」

Dongfang Zhao left the Martial Hall.

"The Cloud-Transforming Finger is indeed a decent Divine Skill, but unfortunately, it's not much stronger than the Demon-Subduing Division's original Divine Skills. Next, I'll visit the Martial Dao Grand Institute. I hope it won't disappoint me too much."

With a measure of hope, Dongfang Zhao arrived at the Martial Dao Grand Institute.

「One day later.」

Dongfang Zhao left the Scripture Pavilion, an unmistakable look of shock on his face.

First-rank Divine Skills!

He actually left First-rank Divine Skills here... and two of them!

He was well aware that Shen Changqing possessed First-rank Divine Skills. But Dongfang Zhao had only known that Shen Changqing possessed one such skill; he hadn't expected him to have mastered two. How could he not understand the power and rarity of First-rank Divine Skills? However, thinking of the two First-rank Divine Skills stored in the Scripture Pavilion, after the initial shock, a brilliant light burst forth from Dongfang Zhao's eyes.

First-rank Divine Skills! Those were First-rank Divine Skills!

First came a legacy that pointed directly to Ancient Divine Spirits, and then First-rank Divine Skills were left behind. One could say that the Human Clan's heritage was now complete to a certain extent. If nothing unexpected happened, in another few decades or a century, it was very possible that the Human Clan would see the emergence of a powerhouse comparable to a Divine Spirit. Even if this guess was too idealistic, then in a few hundred years, powerhouses of that caliber would surely emerge. This was inevitable.

He has truly made his preparations...

Dongfang Zhao understood in his heart what Shen Changqing's purpose was in doing all this.

「In the brightly lit study, Yun Yi sat completely engrossed, looking at the materials distributed by the Martial Institute. Two hours passed before he finally put down the book, his face filled with amazement.」

"The Martial Saint's achievements in the Martial Dao are truly breathtaking. This Martial Arts Compendium, although no single aspect stands out, it has not a single flaw, almost reaching the point of perfection."
