Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 418 - 259: New Development of the Panel! Creating the General Outline of Martial Arts, Everyone as Fierce as a Dragon Fist!
Xuanxing, Xia Country.
It was the height of the school enrollment season. Schools in Ji City expanded their enrollment frantically every year. Countless students from across the country wanted to transfer to Ji City, just for the chance to meet Jiang Wushen.
With the development of Martial Arts and the announcement of Spiritual Cultivation, everyone in Xia Country deeply felt Jiang Wushen’s terrifying talent. It was known that even Wang Yan, Wang Tianren, currently the foremost figure in the Grand Secretariat, admitted that his cultivation had only reached the Mind Breath Realm of the Fetal Breathing stage within Spiritual Cultivation. With his talent, it would take at least ten years to have even a slim chance of stepping into the second realm, the Divine Breath.
Yet, Jiang Wushen alone had slaughtered a Blood God in Freedom Country, a being comparable to the Mixed Element Breath! This battle not only shocked all of Xuanxing but also led the subsequently invading cosmic powerhouses to head to the West, all to establish their own lands of faith. The West was now a chaotic battlefield of gods, with countless deities carving out their own territories. Freedom Country itself could not even control its own homeland, finding itself worshipping several gods.
The West had completely become a domain of gods, ushering in an age of deities where genetics was becoming obsolete. Nowadays, ordinary people seeking power had to sacrifice their souls to establish a connection with a deity, thereby gaining formidable strength. Some ordinary people, due to their firm beliefs, underwent marrow and vein cleansing within a few short days, reaching the realm of a Dan Strength Great Grandmaster in Xia Country’s Martial Arts, equivalent to a Fourth Rank Genetic War General of the West. This marrow evolution greatly enhanced their hematopoietic capabilities, directly increasing their lifespans by sixty years.
Compared to the chaotic West, Xia Country was developing rapidly day by day. Although some so-called divine missionaries occasionally infiltrated, citizens quickly reported them, leading to their arrest or execution. The Western gods were indeed powerful, but the more numerous they became, the more they grew wary of each other. Thus, they dared not venture into Xia Country, fearing a battle with Jiang Wushen might benefit the other deities.
To all people of Xia Country, Jiang Wushen was their stabilizer. As long as he was present, Xia Country was certain to remain peaceful.
「Ji Mountain.」
In the villa area at the very peak, a dense fog enveloped the surroundings, completely obscuring the view from outside.
Inside a room, the figure of Jiang Shu suddenly appeared.
But this time, he could clearly feel the powerful Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, inside the Beast Taming Bag.
It actually... really brought it back.
It seems the panel still has more potential to be developed. My previous understanding was too limited; I could only see the growth in proficiency. Although I later discovered that all Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts could be ’ground’ until they Break Limit, my understanding of the panel stopped there.
Now it seems that with the Two Realms Shuttle, I might also be able to carry living beings. However, these living beings need to be judged by the panel as a part of me.
Without opening the Beast Taming Bag, Jiang Shu took a deep breath. As he engaged in Holy Embryo Breathing, he merged with the heavens and earth of Xuanxing. His spirit left his body, roaming under the great sun. The words of countless passersby entered his mind, and he quickly filtered through them.
As expected, just as I anticipated. Xia Country is still stable for now, but this stability is only temporary. Those currently invading Xuanxing are presumably from the same cultivation civilization as the Blood God; they all cultivate the divine path.
Although they are all gathered in the West for now, the Western population is inherently limited. As Xuanxing expands and Xia Country grows, the West’s population pales in comparison to the East’s. If those deities want to advance further, they will certainly come to the East. The so-called divine missionaries are just pawns they send out to bewitch people with power.
After all, both Martial Arts cultivation and Spiritual System cultivation require resources and talent. However, sacrificing one’s soul to become a believer can very likely turn one directly into a Great Grandmaster. This temptation is indeed too great.
It is only because Xia Country is currently peaceful on all fronts that any discovered believers are immediately executed. This has minimized the growth of these divine path faiths to the greatest extent, but even so, people in some small counties still take the risk.
However, these pawns don’t require my intervention. Each province in Xia Country has a Dan Strength Great Grandmaster stationed there, powerful enough to suppress them. What I need to do is further enhance my strength to prevent the Thought Bodies of those cosmic powerhouses from besieging Xia Country.
Jiang Shu’s soul, like a gentle breeze, swept past schools, shops, Martial Arts dojos, police stations, and other locations, eventually returning to Ji Mountain.
This civilization’s divine path cultivation also has its merits; it can complement Spiritual Cultivation. It gathers the faith of billions onto a single person. If I could garner the faith of Xuanxing’s billions, my cultivation speed in the Mixed Element Breath realm would definitely accelerate further.
However, this civilization’s path of divine faith is too narrow. Its strength is maintained by the sacrifice of billions of souls. Such strength is undoubtedly tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst because, as the believers’ own strength cannot improve, the Power of Faith they provide is also too feeble.
The path of divine faith I intend to walk is nothing like this.
Jiang Shu’s gaze was profound. In this world, there are two things that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
Although everyone in Xia Country now extolled Martial Arts, and schools treated Martial Arts and "sleep classes" with equal importance, the rapid development of machinery following the exploration of Cosmic Relics was gradually replacing manual labor. This allowed ordinary people ample time to dedicate to their self-cultivation.
