Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 498 - 295: Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique! Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fire!
Luo Yu was incredibly busy, although his heart was shaken by Brother Jiang’s current realm and identity. But before confirming a meeting with Brother Jiang, he could not afford to offend any of these Inner Sect Disciples. From the various gifts sent and conditions offered, one could tell that these Inner Sect Disciples were not merely at the Primordial Pill Realm. Each either had a profound heritage or a tremendous familial background in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities. Being born into a royal family, he was naturally not unfamiliar with interpersonal relationships and gradually started to address the intentionally friendly Inner Sect Disciples as brothers.
On the other side, Xue Xuan encountered the same situation.
The number one of the Inner Sect... As Xue Xuan watched the Inner Sect Disciples constantly beaming before him, his mind drifted back to his childhood. His father, the emperor, had once personally welcomed an Inner Sect Disciple. It was then that he realized that even the majestic emperor, regarded as the father of all citizens within the realm, appeared like an ordinary commoner before the Inner Sect Disciples of the True Martial Sect, entirely at their beck and call. Since then, he had resolved to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War. Upon successfully entering the Sect, he practiced day and night to advance to the Primordial Pill Realm and become an Inner Sect Disciple. However, he never imagined that one day he would find himself exchanging courtesies with many Inner Sect Disciples, all thanks to a commoner genius from his dynasty. If this scene were to be reported back to the Da Jing Dynasty, what a shock it would be.
Continuously, Inner Sect Disciples transformed into streaks of light, landing before the residences of Luo Yu and Xue Xuan. Far away, Ye Jiankong and Ye Huang stood silently, lips pursed, looking at each other without a word.
"Uncle Emperor... what they said..."
"It concerns the Inner Sect; how could it be false? Moreover, so many are coming now..."
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Jiankong’s face. He never expected that Jiang Shu, who had last fought against him, had, in such a short time, become the foremost person in the Inner Sect. And he, Ye Jiankong, was still practicing Divine Skills, strengthening his foundation, stuck in the Realm of Refinement. The gap was growing wider and wider.
"In the future, we should spend more time in seclusion." As if speaking to Ye Huang beside him, Ye Jiankong’s gaze had already grown distant. In his perception, Inner Sect Disciples—individuals he himself would have to address as ’Senior Brother’ if he were to enter the Inner Sect—were now all rushing to present gifts to Xue Xuan and Luo Yu, who were so far beneath him. If only he had known this earlier...
Because of Jiang Shu, the Outer Sect was thrown into turmoil.
「Meanwhile, atop Thunder Prison Peak.」
Through the Peak Master’s deliberate demonstrations of Divine Skills, Jiang Shu grew increasingly familiar with the Divine Skills at his command. Some that were previously at the Perfection Realm even experienced a rapid surge in proficiency, directly breaking their limits. ’Qi Swallowing All—only with an ever-broadening perspective and an ever-deepening understanding of the Great Dao can one truly master it completely.’
Jiang Shu launched his eleventh punch. This punch seemed meticulously planned yet also spontaneously thrown, making him unaware of his own body and oblivious to the world around him. This punch almost completely cleared the path from Fetal Breathing to the Sitting and Forgetting Realm! Soon, he could begin his breakthrough! By then, never mind any Divine Power Conference, he would even dare to challenge the True Inheritance Tower with his Primordial Pill Realm strength!
"Thank you, Peak Master."
Peace returned to the heavens and earth.
Jiang Shu’s heart surged with emotion. He hadn’t expected the Peak Master to help him take this final step.
Although he had been cultivating in the Wenxian Palace for over two hundred years, the awakening of the Artifact Spirit brought changes. In the subsequent hundred years, he not only refrained from traversing between the Two Realms but had also set aside the practice of ’One Qi to Three Pure Ones.’ No one could guarantee how the Artifact Spirit would react upon learning of another path of cultivation. After all, with his current understanding, Jiang Shu was faintly aware that the cultivation system of the Cang Mang Domain led to a dead end after reaching the Chaos Hole Realm. In contrast, the spiritual cultivation system of the universe offered a path to supreme enlightenment and eternal existence. He had always been exceptionally good at guarding himself; his true self was never fully revealed. A tiny ant, by showing a hint of intrigue, might attract the attention of a great figure. But if that ant possessed a treasure coveted even by great figures, it was almost certainly doomed. In the Cang Mang Domain, even a Martial Artist’s advancement in realm was built upon mountains of bones, let alone cultivators who had seen a thousand years come and go. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"You are a disciple of my True Martial Sect; it is only right for me to guide you." Lord Zi Ji tapped his finger, and a symbol formed in the void. With a stroke, it transformed into a streak of light that flew directly to Jiang Shu. "I originally intended to pass on more Divine Skills from our Thunder Prison Peak to you, but it seems you lack nothing in terms of combat. However, your application of spiritual power is somewhat deficient. Our True Martial Sect’s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills lean towards pure power. In terms of spiritual power, the Heavenly Puppet Sect is more adept."
"I have a good friend in the Heavenly Puppet Sect, named Lord Wan Kui. You may deliver this writ to him and take this opportunity to seek his guidance."
"There might be changes in this upcoming Divine Power Conference. A few months ago, the Supreme Sect Leader deduced that the Endless Sea might once again face an invasion by the Demon Race. If this sexagenary cycle’s Divine Power Conference coincides with such an event, the competition may not only involve the Primordial Power Divine Abilities of the disciples from the Eight Great Sects but also their prowess in slaughtering Demon Beasts. Such an event has a precedent, occurring six hundred and sixty years ago. If war truly breaks out, the puppet manipulation Divine Skills you learn in the Heavenly Puppet Sect might prove to have miraculous effects."
