Peerless Martial God (New Book—Please Bookmark)

"Look, that's the Lin Family convoy from Yangzhou City. They're so strong! The leader is actually a Qi Martial Realm ninth-level expert!"

"The people around him aren't weak either. Even the weakest is a capable Qi Martial Realm seventh-level fighter."

"As expected of one of Yangzhou City's four great families, the Lin Family is truly powerful."

"Of course. I heard the Lin Family alone has no fewer than thirty Spirit Martial Realm experts!"

"Gasp, Spirit Martial Realm! Qingshan Town only has five Spirit Martial Realm experts, doesn't it?"

"That's right. One of them is even a Lin Family retainer, specifically stationed at the Lin Family shop in Qingshan Town."

Gu Yi, who had been organizing the language pack and silently learning how to pronounce and speak the language, twitched his ears and looked toward the voices.

Qi Martial Realm, Spirit Martial Realm... ninth level, seventh level...

The moment he heard those names, Gu Yi understood that they were the names of this world's cultivation system.

Following the gazes of the people discussing it, Gu Yi looked outside the marketplace. A small convoy of no more than eight people was slowly escorting two carriages into the town.

The man at the front had broad shoulders and a burly waist, his face covered in flesh. At a glance, he looked extremely difficult to get along with.

Even from over a hundred meters away, Gu Yi, whose five senses had been enhanced, could still sense the powerful aura emanating from the man.

"So strong. He's stronger than even Su Yuntao."

"No, even the weakest among these people, the one called a Qi Martial Realm seventh-level fighter, is far stronger than Su Yuntao!"

During his six years on Douluo Continent, the only soul master Gu Yi had ever seen was Su Yuntao, a Soul Grandmaster.

So, he could only compare these people to him.

And through that comparison, Gu Yi realized that Su Yuntao was far too weak.

Even the Old Hunter who had saved Gu Yi possessed a stronger aura than him.

No, it should be said that eighty percent of the people in this marketplace were stronger than Su Yuntao!

Yes, Gu Yi had only just discovered that most of the people in this town marketplace possessed cultivation and faintly emanated one aura after another.

He had failed to notice it before because he was too weak. Moreover, after activating Enlightenment, all of his attention had been immersed in learning the language.

Now that he had learned the language, Gu Yi was able to spare some of his focus, and only then did he discover just how flourishing cultivation was in this world!

Other than children only a few years old whose minds had yet to mature, almost everyone was a cultivator! All of them possessed at least some extraordinary power!

Among these people, the Old Hunter could only be considered above average in strength, probably somewhat weaker than the weakest cultivator in the Lin Family convoy.

"Based on what those people said, the Old Hunter should be at the sixth level of the Qi Martial Realm?" Gu Yi thought as he looked up at the Old Hunter selling wild boar meat beside him.

Martial souls, Yangzhou City, the Lin Family, Qi Martial Realm, Spirit Martial Realm...

Based on these terms, Gu Yi vaguely guessed which world he had transmigrated into.

Peerless Martial God! Nine Heavens Continent!

Or, to be more precise, a Small World called the Nine Nether Eight Desolations on Nine Heavens Continent.

In an instant, a series of memories related to "Peerless Martial God" surfaced in Gu Yi's mind.

Like Douluo Continent, Nine Heavens Continent also had martial souls. They were an innate talent possessed by the people of Nine Heavens Continent and a part of their souls.

The difference was that the martial souls of people on Nine Heavens Continent awakened at birth. Unlike Douluo Continent, they did not need to wait until they were six years old to awaken their martial souls.

No wonder the Old Hunter had summoned his Spear Martial Soul while killing the wild boar... Gu Yi recalled that scene in the mountain forest.

Since martial souls existed in this world, it would not be too abrupt for Gu Yi to use his Blood Martial Soul and Bone Martial Soul in the future.

The greatest difference from Douluo Continent was that Nine Heavens Continent cultivated martial arts, rather than that soul master system constrained by soul rings.

—Every major realm in the Soul Ring System had a bottleneck. One had to absorb a soul ring to enter a higher realm, and in battle, one could only use soul ring soul skills or soul bone soul skills.

In contrast, Nine Heavens Continent possessed countless cultivation techniques and martial skills!

The martial arts realms of the Nine Heavens World, from lowest to highest, were: Qi Martial Realm, Spirit Martial Realm, Profound Martial Realm, Heavenly Martial Realm, and Venerable Martial Realm! Each major realm was divided into nine levels!

Above the Venerable Martial Realm were Martial Emperor, Emperor Realm, Saint Realm, and Divine Realm.

Even the weakest Qi Martial Realm martial artists possessed the strength of a thousand or even ten thousand jin. They could split steles and shatter rocks. The strong could soar through the skies and burrow through the earth, destroy a city with one palm, or wipe out a nation in a single battle.

The upper limit of this world's martial arts system was incomparably higher than Douluo Continent's soul master Soul Ring System!

The so-called gods of Douluo Continent were probably not even as strong as Heavenly Martial Realm martial artists of Nine Heavens Continent.

This showed that the potential of martial souls, this extraordinary power, was not weak. What was weak was merely the soul masters and Soul Ring System of Douluo Continent.

They had never excavated the full potential of martial souls!

Gu Yi's heart surged with excitement, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"With a world like this, why should I cultivate the soul ring soul master system? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate the Nine Heavens Martial Dao System directly?"

"Just collecting a few cultivation techniques and martial skills in this world would be much better than anything on Douluo Continent!"

Of course, that thought only flashed through his mind.

Although the soul ring soul master system was weak, it still had its merits and certain advantages.

To some extent, soul rings were convenient tools that could save people a great deal of cultivation time, allowing soul masters to master a skill within a short period.

And some special soul skills were still quite powerful.

In particular, enhancement-type and support-type soul skills were like buffs that could greatly increase one's strength.

For example, between two martial artists at the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm, if one possessed an enhancement-type soul ring that increased strength and speed by fifty percent, the outcome of the battle would be decided immediately.

"The best choice is still to cultivate both Nine Heavens Martial Dao and the Douluo soul master system. After all, both cultivation systems are rooted in martial souls and have common ground." Gu Yi thought to himself.

At the very least, while Gu Yi was still weak, Douluo Continent's soul rings could effectively increase his strength and also promote the evolution of his two martial souls.

According to the martial arts cultivation knowledge of Nine Heavens Continent, a martial artist's martial soul was not unchanging. Its quality could improve as the martial artist grew stronger.

To say nothing of anything further away, when breaking through the bottleneck of the first major martial arts realm, the Qi Martial Realm, and entering the second major realm, the Spirit Martial Realm—

The martial souls of Nine Heavens Continent's martial artists would have an opportunity to undergo Innate Awakening, significantly improving the quality of their martial souls.

It was somewhat similar to the second awakening of Body Martial Souls on Douluo Continent.

Therefore, Gu Yi naturally would not give up any opportunity to improve the quality of his martial souls.

After planning the direction of his future cultivation path, Gu Yi decisively ended this Enlightenment experience—having activated the Enlightenment function for only thirty minutes, he had already spent one hundred and fifty points of Source Power.

Source Power: 840 points

By then, the Old Hunter had already sold the wild boar he had hunted. He turned to Gu Yi, and a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "Child, did you find anyone you know?"

Gu Yi shook his head.

Under the effects of Enlightenment, he recalled what the Old Hunter had said to him along the way.

All along the way, the Old Hunter had asked where his home was, what his parents were called, whether he remembered the scenery near his home, and so on.

Now that he had learned the language of this world, it was time to tell the Old Hunter about his origins.

"Grandpa, my name is Gu Yi. I'm an orphan. My parents, during a herb-gathering trip a year ago..."

Having already fabricated his background during the Enlightenment experience, Gu Yi immediately began recounting his life story, mixing nine parts falsehood with one part truth.
