Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 367 - 236: Refining Divine Powers, Five Thunders Great Handprint, Freedom Country’s Declaration of War!_2
"This martial arts manual covers all Six Martial Arts Realms, simply put, you could directly cultivate all the way to what they call the Heavenly Human Realm. More importantly, the longer you practice this martial arts, the more it will prolong your life. For people like you, who never really liked fighting to begin with, it couldn’t be a better fit."
With his spiritual power shielding the surroundings, Jiang Shu’s voice sounded calm, but it still startled Jiang Yongyi so much that he trembled. His pupils were shaking intensely as he looked at his son. He had thought that after retraining himself online while his son was away, he wouldn’t be so easily shocked anymore once the boy returned home, but he hadn’t expected—this was less than two hours after the boy returned. The things his son was saying could scare a person to death.
*To cultivate to the Heavenly Human Realm—isn’t that breaking the void, becoming indestructible, and reaching the very peak of martial arts in Xia Country?*
The next bite of food, halfway to his mouth, just hovered there. At the same time, a vast wave of information suddenly crashed into Jiang Yongyi’s mind—a tiny figure performing one move after another, each style perfectly expressing the transformation between stillness and movement. Steadfast like an ancient pine tree, connecting heaven and earth; graceful like a millennial crane, chasing the wind and stirring the clouds. The Dao of Yin and Yang, the mutual generation of illusion and reality.
"Mom, Dad, I’ve already transmitted the details of the cultivation into your minds. Just follow them and practice. You’ve both already got a solid foundation in the Inner Strength Method, so with this martial arts manual added in, you should pick it up really fast—but from there, the cultivation will get a lot more complicated. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Ye Zhenzhen."
As he spoke, Jiang Shu focused his mind and transmitted the "Crane Longevity Fist" to Ye Zhenzhen as well. But this time, aside from the "Crane Longevity Fist," the spiritual transfer included several other martial arts manuals he thought were pretty good, too.
*Before anyone realized, a mealtime slipped away in no time.*
Jiang Shu got up and swept up all the dishes with his primordial power, washing them clean and stacking them together—the whole process took no more than three seconds.
He was just about to relax with his parents on the couch and keep chatting—
when, from the dinner table, Xu Lizhi, who’d hardly said anything, suddenly said, "Yongyi, let’s go."
Then, hooking Jiang Yongyi’s arm and glaring at him fiercely behind Jiang Shu’s back, she said, without looking back, "Little Shu, your dad always heads out to the city ring river these days to watch people fish. He can stare for hours at a time, so I’m going out with him."
"You and Zhenzhen can relax at home. Don’t wait for us."
With her final word, Xu Lizhi dragged the still-bewildered Jiang Yongyi out the door.
In an instant, the big house was left silent, only Jiang Shu and Ye Zhenzhen facing each other without a word.
The evening glow filled the sky.
In birdsong, down in the creek below the mountain, it felt like the waters had just endured a night of heavy rain and now ran endlessly with a gurgling flow, impossible to stop.
"Awake? Rest a bit more."
He pulled open the curtains, and as sunlight fell across Ye Zhenzhen’s body, Jiang Shu stroked her long hair, his voice gentle.
After his parents left for their walk, he took Ye Zhenzhen downstairs to his apartment, to teach her the martial arts manual.
Silkworm, delicate and entwined.
Dragon, graceful and winding.
Three days went by like this. Other than teaching Ye Zhenzhen the martial arts manual, Jiang Shu was fully immersed in his own cultivation. One Pure Essence Pill after another was absorbed through his Divine Power Kunpeng Devouring Technique, expanding the primordial power within his dantian.
The True Fire forming in his mind synced up perfectly with the breathing of the Holy Embryo, both growing stronger together, each not interfering with the other.
*A rare feeling of relaxation showed on Jiang Shu.*
Ever since plunging into the Dynasty Wars, he had always felt a sense of urgency. Now that he was back on Xuanxing, he was finally able to let himself relax.
"The Primordial Pill Realm is actually just a process of tempering all the skills acquired in the Furnace Fire Realm, using True Fire to refine and condense them into a single pill. The Primordial Pill is actually a Divine Power Pill. The more tightly the divine skills complement each other, the more skills there are, the stronger the Divine Power Pill becomes—utterly unparalleled."
"So, the Furnace Fire Realm is like the foundation of a skyscraper. Only if it’s solid enough can you reach the clouds."
Inside the room.
Jiang Shu sat cross-legged. Master Ming Lei’s Primordial Pill floated in front of him. For those at the peak of the Furnace Fire Realm, they might need just a few days and nights to fully refine this pill, but Jiang Shu had just broken through.
Every divine skill had to be refined again, costing him quite some time.
Although Master Ming Lei had only fused ten skills into his Divine Power Pill, the system was perfect, using the Five Thunders Great Handprint as its foundation and the other skills as support. In Jiang Shu’s view, the value of these ten interconnected skills far surpassed a scattered collection of fifteen unrelated divine skills.
Upstairs, with Jiang Shu’s teachings and explanations, Ye Zhenzhen finally reached the Organ Refining Realm, deepening her understanding of martial arts and making her even better at instructing his parents.
Downstairs, Jiang Shu cultivated day and night without pause, alternating between refining Pure Essence Pills and Master Ming Lei’s Divine Power Pill. His entire realm rose steadily, and his grasp of divine skills became ever more profound.
"The Five Thunders Great Handprint, Five Thunders: Heavenly Thunder, Earth Thunder, Water Thunder, Divine Thunder, She Thunder."
"Heavenly Thunder, destroys heavenly demons and wipes out plagues; Earth Thunder creates all things and nourishes crops; Water Thunder commands thunder to summon rain, stirs up wind and clouds; Divine Thunder and She Thunder are both about destruction, but in different ways. The evil demons in the Underground Abyss especially fear the Divine Thunder!"
*The more Jiang Shu refined the Divine Power Pill, the more shocked he felt inside.*
*The power of the Five Thunders Great Handprint had surpassed his expectations. He finally understood just how mighty a Primordial Pill Realm True Man was. Even putting aside the difference in realms, just this Great Divine Power alone had a destructive force that far exceeded the Kunpeng Devouring Technique.*
After all, while the Kunpeng Devouring Technique might count as a killing skill, its actual destructive force wasn’t its strength. Its main advantage was letting cultivators grow rapidly by devouring and then using the primordial power and spiritual power it gathered for continuous battle.
*It was nothing like the Five Thunders Great Handprint—once you mastered that, your combat strength soared.*
Yet, even with such skill at his disposal, Master Ming Lei was still no match for Inner Sect Disciple Zhou Yan, and had fallen in some remote corner of the Dynasty, leaving this inheritance behind. *Just imagining it, Jiang Shu realized what sort of terrifying opponents awaited him in the future.*
*But even thinking that, Jiang Shu didn’t feel a shred of fear in his heart.*
*He held his status panel; a single achievement guaranteed forever.*
*Plus, with the Two Realms Shuttle, resources could be perfectly balanced between worlds.*
*So long as he had enough time, he was confident he could surpass every cultivator and rise to the very peak!*
After all, no matter how powerful an Inner Sect Disciple became, it was still only the Primordial Pill Realm!
Time flew by in a blur.
*Other than the one meal he shared with his parents each evening, Jiang Shu spent all his time cultivating. Bit by bit, he came to know every divine skill in the Divine Power Pill, making each one his own.*
But just when he thought this spell of quiet cultivation back on Xuanxing would continue without any waves—
news out of the Freedom Country shook the world!
The Sixth Rank Genetic Potion had been successfully developed!
The Fifth Rank Genetic War God Konos—had advanced to become a Sixth Rank Genetic War God.
He even publicly declared in an interview, "Genes are the very best path for human evolution."
As for martial arts, he dismissed them as nothing more than outdated trash from a past era.
And, what’s more, he announced that in three days’ time, he would host a worldwide broadcast, piloting the Deep Sea Avenger to dive deep into the Pacific Ocean—officially opening up the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm that Xia Country itself had never yet dared to explore!
