Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 454 - 439: Treatment

After completing a day’s cultivation, Zhou Leng checked the time. Now that school was about to begin, the Ancient River Sect was preparing to recruit its second batch of disciples. He still needed to visit Innate Mountain and the Ruins Museum; he couldn’t stay here any longer.

He decided to translate four more Demon Spirit Techniques before leaving.

During the translation process, Zhou Leng noticed some commonalities among the Divine Text vocabulary and casually translated some non-spell content into Dragon Country language.

By then, he would submit them on Blue Star under the identity of a Mysterious Master, earning contribution points for Dragon Country.

"Wait, is this what they call ’two birds with one stone’?"

Once he figured out the key point, translation became more enjoyable.

After translating the new four Demon Spirit Techniques, he took out the spirit-powered magic mirror obtained from the Demon Spirit World and bid farewell to the friends from the Cyan Flame, Frost Heart, and Book of God.

Leaving the Demon Spirit World, he entered Shuizhou Demon City, heading straight for Rucheng.

Staff of Destruction.

Demigod Mage Blazing Flame’s Hope sat at the table, with a demon spirit pen controlled by his spiritual power hovering above the paper, writing and drawing.

Suddenly, he frowned, and the demon spirit pen stamped several "X"s on the paper, negating his research direction.

On the paper, there was a line of text.

"Flame of Light Conjecture: Using a special magic conduit, combined with the super-magic application of fire-type demon spirits, impacting the expansion and extreme power of spherical demon spirit techniques..."

At the demigod level, aside from a few violent demon spirit masters, most demon spirit masters no longer excessively pursued individual strength but focused on the inheritance of demon spirit techniques.

In recent years, Blazing Flame’s Hope has been dedicated to enhancing the power of fire-type demon spirit techniques.

The Flame of Light Conjecture is his main focus.

He has staked the remaining time of his life on this.

He has solved many aspects of the Flame of Light Conjecture, but the few most critical areas have made no progress.

Or rather, these few key areas have obstructed countless talented demigods through the ages.

After contemplating for a morning, he gently rubbed his temples and stood by the window.

With a gesture of his right hand, the Hall Book floated before him.

Its appearance was that of a metal book, yet internally it closely resembled a human flat-panel computer.

Blazing Flame’s Hope perused the latest research findings within the Demon Spirit Hall.

After some time flipping through, he refreshed the page, finding an anonymous master releasing four new demon spirit techniques, all sourced from the "second book of Divine Text Magic Book."

"In just a month, translating eight Demon Spirit Techniques, what a surge. I wonder which peculiar old fellow, who unexpectedly remained anonymous, perhaps afraid of being ridiculed for any errors..."

He clicked to browse, finding the four demon spirit techniques to be one each of earth, fire, wind, and water.

He skimmed through them, then focused on reading the fire-type demon spirit technique.

Explosion Magic Sphere.

Halfway through, he widened his eyes, held his breath, and continued reading.

After finishing, he pondered repeatedly, then flew straight out the window, reaching the cultivation ground, casting Explosion Magic Sphere without pause.

He summoned several hundred Explosion Magic Spheres in a row, yet his magic power remained deep and unfathomable.

"So that’s it, so that’s it, I understand now! The Flame of Light Conjecture is solved! The issue that has troubled the Demon Spirit World for millennia is cracked!"

Blazing Flame’s Hope broke into a radiant smile, like a child, flying back to his study, penning with fervor.

That night, Blazing Flame’s Hope’s masterpiece shook the Demon Spirit World.

The underlying structure of spherical fire-type demon spirit techniques was completely deconstructed.

The power of all related demon spirit techniques will soon be elevated by a level.

At the end of this masterpiece, Blazing Flame’s Hope expressed sincere gratitude to the translator of the Explosion Magic Sphere, as it completed the last piece of the Flame of Light Conjecture puzzle. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Following this, the Grand Courtyard held a brief discussion and awarded ten thousand special demon spirit points to the anonymous master.

Due to the enormous impact of this happening, the demigods of Grand Courtyard deliberated briefly, deciding to identify the person behind the work. If their achievements continued to surge, they would confer the Demon Spirit World’s "Highest Demon Spirit Honor," granting sufficient protection and encouraging continued efforts.

The Demon Spirit World has three supreme honors, each awarded recipient receiving full protection from the Three High Towers, Grand Courtyard, and Great Demon Spirit Tower.

This is the Demon Spirit World’s method of safeguarding elite talent.

Years ago, the Demon Spirit World committed a fatal mistake, protecting only a few individuals of high status but not the research personnel.

As a result, during a Ten Realms War, numerous demon spirit researchers and technicians were assassinated.

The Demon God’s Chief is the brain of the Demon Spirit World, the highest command core, responsible for coordinating the operations of all magic towers in the Demon Spirit World.

Its founder, only regarded as a senior researcher and given only honors but not high status, high treatment, or high protection, fell to an otherworldly assassination.

At first, the factions of the Demon Spirit World paid no heed, not even holding a funeral.

Subsequently, a powerful enemy invaded, the magic tower system fell into disarray, and after millions of demon spirit masters suffered losses, the upper echelon of the Demon Spirit World gradually awakened.

If they had taken a life-saving demon spirit artifact from the decaying storage at that time, even the poorest, scoffed at by nobility, legendary demon spirit artifact, and rewarded it to the dutiful research personnel, it would have sufficed to reduce the countless losses of demon spirit masters.

During the belated funeral of the Demon God’s Chief founder’s first death anniversary, a demigod demon spirit master remarked that one person, compared to ten kings.

But he still died.

Since then, with regret and resolve, the Demon Spirit World began granting high treatment and protection to elite researchers and technicians, gifting numerous protective legendary demon spirit artifacts and even half-divine artifacts.

Subsequently, they rigorously checked for leaks and traitors, reducing the death of key research and technician personnel successfully, eventually overcoming the formidable adversaries.

While the Demon Spirit World masters speculated on who the anonymous master might be, Zhou Leng returned to Rucheng.

He first took a quick glance at Martial Faith’s note.

Xue Chengsong carefully asked Zhou Leng if he had found that Bone Forger Innate from the Lou Family for negotiations.

Then, he said there was no need for negotiation as those Innates were captured by the Huang Meng Sect, resolving the crisis for the company.

He casually invited Zhou Leng to have a drink to celebrate.

Molten Hammer went to Shuizhou Demon City again and sent a message.

"Zhou Leng, why haven’t you come to the Dwarf World yet? Are you giving up the Divine Blood Lava and the Ancient King Array you were rewarded before?"

"The Divine Blood Lava is about to start, don’t miss the timing. I dream of going in, but I’m not qualified."

"By the way, before entering the Divine Blood Lava, you should try to reach the Bone Forging Stage, otherwise not only can you not withstand it, but the absorbed Power will also be limited, leading to waste."

"As for the Ancient King Array, it’s similar to your Relic Museum, containing traces of powerful Demigods and even traces of the starry sky; it’s very important."

Molten Hammer nagged about a bunch more and complained about why Zhou Leng didn’t take him to the Tree-man World earlier.

He had also advanced to Innate and was now training everywhere.

Li Yuanhe urged Zhou Leng to return to the Ancient River Research Bureau soon to prepare for recruiting disciples for the second time.

There was more news.

Zhou Leng temporarily ignored everyone and held hands with Xu Qingjin to the snack street to eat.

Early the next morning, he found Wang Boxiong.

"Hall Master, I need your help with something."

"Speak."

"Could you specially approve some Bone Forging Pills for me? I’ll pay the market price."

"How many times the White Pill do you need to crack your bones?" Wang Boxiong asked.

"Ten times."

"Hmm?" Wang Boxiong suddenly stood up, walked to Zhou Leng, and grasped his hand, applying True Qi.

"You kid..." Wang Boxiong was surprised to find that Zhou Leng’s body density actually exceeded his own.

Wang Boxiong had accumulated Innate for many years, soared to Grandmaster, and was now close to Great Grandmaster.

Yet, even such a body only had a density about 11 times that of a normal person.

Zhou Leng’s body density exceeded 13 times.

Wang Boxiong said, "So you at least need 600 White Pills?"

"Three times," Zhou Leng said.

"One White Pill costs 1.5 million in the market, you calculate how much three times costs."

"2.7 billion," Zhou Leng frowned; it was too expensive.

His Magic Spirit Bag was filled with treasures, not to mention billions, even worth hundreds of billions, but he couldn’t sell them, he used them himself.

For instance, the Star Conch, essential for the Undying Star Body.

For example, Giant Dragon Meat, daily food.

Like Giant Insect Juice, Radiant Juice, used to enhance the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.

Also, the two Dragon and Tiger Pills, still held in reserve, hoping for greater strength to absorb more magic power.

The biggest issue was the speed of advancement.

Normally, Innate Bone Forging takes years or even decades, spreading out the costs annually doesn’t require much wealth.

However, his bone forging only needs months, and the required medicine amount is several times that of ordinary Bone Forger Innate.

The bone forging matter can’t be messed with.

The Ancient River Sect indeed has other bone forging methods, but he couldn’t access them, and it was unknown whether they exist.

"Do you have that kind of money?"

"Sell some stuff, think of other ways, I should be able to gather it," Zhou Leng said.

"Which channel?"

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "The Ice Snow Divine Sect’s channel in the Demon Spirit World, large Fierce Beast bones, and other items from the Fierce Beast World."

"Fierce Beast bones are good, but too sensitive, the Ice Snow Divine Sect can press them down. How about I find friends in the Martial Guard Department logistics to take a part. But, at least 5 billion, less is not worth it."

"Alright, I’ll think of a way to gather a bit, use some directly for White Pill transactions," Zhou Leng said.

Wang Boxiong said, "Innate Mountain and Relic Museum shouldn’t be delayed, you need to go immediately."

Zhou Leng asked, "Which place should I go to first?"

Wang Boxiong thought for a moment and said, "For ordinary Martial Artists, Innate Mountain is best. But for a rapidly growing genius like you, the Relic Museum is more important."

Zhou Leng noticed that when talking about the Relic Museum, Wang Boxiong seemed to have significant emotional shifts.

Wang Boxiong continued, "There are a lot of Martial Arts Traces there, you may not enter higher... Hmm, you should have the qualification, right?"

"What? I don’t understand."

Wang Boxiong snorted lightly and said, "Senior Brother from the Ancient River Sect surely has the qualification. After entering the Relic Museum, don’t spend time in the first few exhibition halls, head straight to the advanced exhibition halls."

"First, don’t rush to choose, experience the feeling of all Martial Arts Traces, look through all the traces in the advanced exhibition halls, then choose the one that feels strongest."

"It’s best to correspond with your Grandmaster path. What cultivation technique are you planning to learn for your Grandmaster path?"

"Great Sun Divine Skill, East Wind Fist."
