Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Cyan Mountain Ancestral Land, Martial Dao Inheritance

[The vast wilderness had been taken over by giant beasts, and few humans dared venture into it. Only the Qin Country’s army could painstakingly advance through this perilous land.]

[The Qin army stood like a wall of bronze and iron, guarding important cities, clearing out those beasts that attempted to run rampant, preventing them from ravaging humanity.]

[The upper echelons of the Human Race knew that when giant beasts devoured humans, they gained wisdom and developed "superpowers." The first "country-level giant beast: Heaven-Swallowing Flood Dragon" was born this way.]

[I stood atop Cyan Mountain, overlooking the city below, which was neat and orderly. Even the giant beasts seemed to understand that this group of small ants was not easy to provoke, and they detoured, not daring to easily offend.]

[I didn’t even get a chance to take action, watching Yunzhou under the protection of the Qin army, safe and sound, with no threat of destruction.]

[A nation that emerged from the "Three Hundred Years of Celestial Calamity" was terrifying.]

[This was the monster Duan Hong himself had nurtured.]

[In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth year.]

[In the depths of the sea, after thrilling battles, eight more country-destroying-level giant beasts emerged.]

[Faced with this unprecedented threat, all coastal cities were tactically abandoned by the Human Race’s hundred nations. Humanity had to extend its defense lines and unite closely to fend off these country-level giant beasts, preventing them from continuing to swallow humans and further strengthening themselves.]

[At this juncture of life and death for humanity, the leaders of the world’s hundred nations officially announced the entry into a new era—the Disaster Era.]

[The lead cabinet of Qin had already quietly initiated plans five years earlier, extensively collecting the "Innate Techniques" that had been lost to the world over the past five thousand years. When the "Land Immortal" appeared, he was revered as the pillar of the nation.]

[He and many Martial Arts Grandmasters jointly created the "first set of Foundation Establishment Martial Dao: Cyan Heaven Eight-Nine Diagram," gathering five thousand years of Martial Dao essence, a marvel through the ages.]

[Then, Qin’s lead cabinet acted swiftly and decisively, publicly releasing the first nine diagrams of the "Cyan Heaven Eight-Nine Diagram." From then on, the trend of Martial Dao swept through the country, becoming an important part of the "nine-year compulsory education."]

[Encouraging the citizens of Qin, in times of crisis, to take up arms and hunt the giant beasts for self-protection.]

[It could truly be said that the whole nation was skilled in martial arts.]

[So long as the citizens could hunt giant beasts, they could go to the newly established "Divine Martial Bureau" in Qin to exchange for subsequent Foundation Establishment Martial Dao diagrams, with an abundance of items such as pills, martial arts secret manuals, divine weapons, and currency available.]

[With the recovery of spiritual energy, not only animals and beings have entered a new life, but those once rare and precious treasure medicines have now become commonplace. Added to this is Cyan Mountain’s secret medicine "Strength Pill," now renamed "Rebirth Pill," whose effects are astonishing.]

[Qin categorizes the giant beasts by strength and characteristics into simple classes: Fierce, King Level, Country-level.]

[For martial artists who successfully hunted giant beasts, Qin would grant them corresponding titles, with the highest honor being "conferred as Marquis," enjoying a transcendent status.]

[In just thirty short years, the trend of martial arts became widespread. People competed to use the number of giant beasts hunted as a symbol of honor. On the continent, giant beasts became the prey pursued by martial artists.]

[In Qin’s society, formidable figures like the "Four Kings" and "Eighteen Marquis" emerged with great prestige.]

[Coupled with increasingly advanced guns, cannons, and missiles, they continuously reclaimed lost territories.]

[Most critically, these "Four Kings" and "Eighteen Marquis" were well-versed in the art of coordinated combat. When a "King-level Giant Beast" appeared,]

they would quickly assemble half of the strong figures, along with a formidable army, performing a saturation suppression. The scene was truly extraordinarily spectacular.]

[The powerful giant beasts that couldn’t fly were hunted by Qin.]

[On the continent of Qin, there were no conditions for the birth of "country-level beasts." They dared not stay long, either finding ways to escape across the sea to other continents or evolving capabilities to dive underwater.]

[After thirty-nine years, Qin finally cleared all fierce-level and above giant beasts on the continent, internally continuing to nurture the next generation, while the "Four Kings" and "Eighteen Marquis" accompanied the army to coastal areas to establish fortresses.]

[They were starting to hunt the "country-level giant beasts" in the deep sea, which were truly the most significant threat to the Human Race.]

["Duan Hong..." Witnessing Qin’s thirty-nine years, I couldn’t help but silently mourn for Duan Hong for three seconds, and then: "I must add some more challenges for you."]

[I used divine techniques in Cyan Mountain; the earth trembled, the peaks quaked, rocks rolled, raising a towering monument.]

[On the body of the monument, with a light stroke of my fingertips, I inscribed line after line of tiny characters as small as mosquitoes and flies, the secret manual of "Purple Sky Innate Skill," each word a gem.]

[This monument carried the Martial Dao heritage of the Fifth Realm Celestial Being and the Sixth Realm True Gang.]

[Feeling it’s still not enough, I inscribed two astonishing diagrams on the monument with Martial Arts Will.]

[One was the "Divine Monkey Fighting the Sun," depicting a divine monkey wild and unrestrained, eyes like torches, competing with the Great Sun, with overwhelming magnificence.]

[The other was the "Daoist Pulling Sword and Cutting Heaven," depicting a graceful daoist pointing a sword to the sky, slicing with a sword, transforming the body into a sword, soaring to the clouds.]

[These two diagrams carried the peerless martial arts of "Red Ape Demon Suppression Divine Will Battle Technique" and "True Intent·Heaven-cutting Sword."]

[I gazed upon this monument, always feeling something was missing. I frowned slightly, pensive for a moment, then suddenly had a revelation.]

[Those who comprehend this diagram will inherit my Martial Arts Will, left by the Cyan Mountain True Inheritance—Cyan Mountain Daoist Master.]

...

BOOM!

This deafening sound instantly spread throughout the entire city below Cyan Mountain, sending a shiver through everyone’s hearts, causing them to pause in their tasks, with looks of amazement on their faces.]

Unconsciously, they lifted their heads to the sky, seeing that between heaven and earth, a towering and magnificent peak had somehow emerged, as if it abruptly rose from the ground, piercing the clouds.]

"That place—is it the Cyan Mountain Ancestral Land?!" Someone’s voice trembled as they pointed at the mountain peak, their eyes filled with incredulity and shock.]

"Does this mean... the Cyan Mountain Immortal’s inheritance has appeared?!" Another exclaimed in surprise.]

"Such earth-shaking power, Cyan Mountain truly has an Immortal!"

"Quick! We must hurry!" a martial artist suddenly stood up, words filled with urgency as they rushed towards Cyan Mountain.

In no time, the entire city seemed to boil over, with all martial artists setting aside their tasks, hurrying towards the Cyan Mountain Ancestral Land. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Their faces were filled with shock and urgency, their steps hurried, as if afraid of missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
