Martial Dao Saint!

"Where did those Martial Emperors go?"

Zhou Chen put down the thick Azure World General History, turned on his touchscreen computer, and began searching using a search engine.

In this almost science fiction era, we must use scientific methods.

Unfortunately, the information I found was all fragmented and obviously useless.

Just then, Zhou Chen's expression shifted, and he turned his head to look quietly at the doorway.

The next moment, a knock sounded on the door, and Yun Xin Yue said softly, "Your Excellency..."

Before Yun Xin Yue could finish her question, Zhou Chen waved his hand, and the study door opened.

Yun Xin Yue walked in carrying a steaming cup of Gold Leaf Tea.

Behind her, many of the Yun Family's maids, carrying plates of exquisitely prepared dishes, entered the study one by one like fluttering butterflies.

"Your Excellency, would you like to have something to eat?"

Yun Xin Yue asked with concern.

"You're so kind, young lady."

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, took the teacup from Yun Xin Yue's hand, and after taking only one sip, the Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged in his Inner Core suddenly opened its eyes!

As a manifestation of Soul Power, a cultivator's nascent Nascent Soul is extremely sensitive to the power of the God Soul.

This Gold Leaf Tea contains many elements that are beneficial to the Soul Power.

It tastes so good!!

Seeing the young Martial Venerable in front of her with his eyes narrowed and an expression of enjoyment on his face, Yun Xin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

These Golden Leaf are taken from deep space.

To be precise, the Golden Leaf doesn't grow on Azure Star at all, but on a strange life-bearing planet in deep space.

This life-bearing planet was discovered by the Royal Academy of Sciences Astronomy of the Oria Kingdom using an array radio telescope.

Because this planet's size and mass, as well as its atmospheric structure, are similar to those of Azure Star, scientists believe it may harbor a martial arts civilization and therefore named it:

Martial Dao Star.

Then, the Azure Star fleets of various countries, sects, families, nobles and tycoons of Azure Star were mobilized.

The resources and wealth on a planet are immeasurable, and no force that can penetrate deep into space will let them go.

Using a launch base built on a satellite of Azure Star, they launched a large number of warp drive ships toward Martial Dao Star.

These warp drive spaceships travel at almost the speed of light, but even so, it would still take an entire era to reach Martial Dao Star.

Therefore, some Martial Venerables and Martial Saints from Azure Star made their move.

These Venerable Ones and Saints used their supernatural powers to control space to directly construct a Space Wormhole, opening a spatial passage to the Martial Arts Sphere, and on a satellite of Azure Star, they used a large number of rare materials to forge a spatial gate.

Of course, there is also a spatial gate on Martial Dao Star.

Using this space tunnel, the warp drive spaceship can travel from Azure Star to Martial Dao Star in just one day.

However, when the various forces of Azure Star arrived at Martial Dao Star, they discovered that there were no humans on this Martial Dao Star, but rather all kinds of powerful birds and beasts, and even mythical creatures such as giant Kun, Flood Dragon, and Dapeng.

Some mythical creatures are incredibly powerful; some can even break through the limitations of the atmosphere, fly into space, and destroy warp drive spaceships!

Once upon a time, a noble family from the Frost Empire angered a Flood Dragon while their ground advance team was searching for a rare treasure.

That Flood Dragon not only slaughtered all the powerful warriors who had reached the level of martial master or even Great Martial Master, but also flew out of the atmosphere and crossed space with its physical body, whipping the evacuating spaceships to pieces with its tail!

If it weren't for a Martial Venerable expert from the Martial Dao Guild who happened to pass by and was willing to help, the entire fleet of the noble families of the Frost Empire would probably have been wiped out!

However, even a Martial Venerable expert could not kill the Flood Dragon; he could only force it to retreat.

This shows just how powerful the mythical creatures on this Martial Dao Star are!

Of course, where there are animals, there are also plants and minerals. This planet of life also contains a large number of rare and precious objects that are helpful for martial arts cultivation.

For example, the Gold Tree, the Wind Thunder Stone, the Martial God Wood, the Mystic Ice Divine Iron, the Phoenix Perching Wutong...

These Golden Leaf are the leaves of the Gold Tree.

The noble families of the Frost Empire were discovered by the Flood Dragon while picking Golden Leaf, and were subsequently pursued relentlessly.

Golden Leaf cannot be consumed directly, otherwise the soul power they contain will be too immense, causing the soul to shatter and the person to die. They must be processed into tea leaves through various scientific and alchemical methods before being steeped in water.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with powerful individuals above the Martial Grandmaster consuming it directly. However, the people of Azure Star have now made consuming Gold Leaf Tea a fashion trend and a symbol of status.

Ordinary people have never even heard of this tea. The value of one gram of Gold Leaf Tea is as high as one hundred million Mystic Coin.

Mystic Coin was the currency used by all countries in the Eastern Luo Continent.

Moreover, even if you have money, it is very difficult to buy this kind of tea. Only powerful noble families and martial arts families are qualified to purchase Gold Leaf Tea.

The Thunder Sword Sect has now declined and originally lacked the financial resources and influence to acquire Gold Leaf Tea.

Even in the renowned Righteous Qi Sect of Azure Xuan Province, only the sect leader Wen Fengxiang, the Grand Elder Wen Daozhang, and a small number of elders and inner disciples are qualified to drink Gold Leaf Tea.

Yun Xin Yue was able to obtain this golden tea thanks to Shang Buyu's financial assistance.

Shang Buyu was not only the last disciple of Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, but also a direct descendant of the Longshen Merchant Family.

The Shang Family's ancestral home is located in Longshen City, and they are a martial arts family that has been passed down since ancient times.

These days, the Shang Family has three Martial Dao Grandmaster on the surface, and it's impossible to fathom how much power he actually possesses behind the scenes.

For such an unfathomable martial arts family, producing some Gold Leaf Tea shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, Shang Buyu is not just an ordinary direct descendant, but the daughter of Shang Yi, the head of the Shang Family, and the current Witch of the Shang family.

In ancient times, the ancestor of the Shang Family was a martial saint who belonged to the Grand Mystery God System.

This martial saint wasn't particularly strong in combat, but he was very skilled in divination, which was practically prophetic.

When the Martial Gods disappeared after refining the Demon Realm, the Grand Mystery God System collapsed, the ancient era ended, and the feudal era began.

Then, this Shang Family ancestor returned to the prime material plane of Azure Star, which is the human world, and submitted to the Mystic Xia Empire, the most powerful empire in the Eastern Luo Continent at the time, becoming the Xuanxia National Preceptor and the Martial Saint who protects the country.

The Shang Family has been passed down from generation to generation. In each generation, one person will inherit the divination skills of the Martial Saint Ancestor in the ancestral temple and become the Shang Family's God Child or Witch.

Shang Buyu was the Witch of the Shang Family, and her status in the Shang Family was similar to that of her father, Shang Yi.

"Is there any more tea?"

Zhou Chen raised his head, looked at Yun Xin Yue, his expression indifferent, and asked without any politeness.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Yun Xin Yue was secretly delighted. This Gold Leaf Tea was indeed a rare and precious item, as it had actually won the favor of this martial arts master from ancient times.

Senior Sister Shang Buyu was indeed a master strategist, as she had even predicted that this esteemed guest would enjoy Gold Leaf Tea.

"Xiaozhu, go and get the tea canister containing the Gold Leaf Tea."

Yun Xin Yue turned her head and instructed Yun Xiaozhu.

Okay.

Yun Xiaozhu made a Mengmeng hand gesture and skipped out of the study.

A moment later, the little girl carefully walked in, carrying a jade tea canister.

Yun Xiaozhu carefully placed the tea canister on the desk and then stood obediently to the side.

Yun Xin Yue bowed to Zhou Chen and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, let Xiaozhu make you some tea."

"Um."

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, watching Yun Xiaozhu's smooth and flowing tea-making technique, finding it pleasing to the eye.

In just a short while, a pot of Gold Leaf Tea was brewed.

Yun Xiaozhu picked up the teapot, poured a cup of Gold Leaf Tea, and respectfully presented it to Zhou Chen, saying softly, "Your Excellency, please have some tea."

Thank you.

Zhou Chen took the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then picked up the book he hadn't finished reading, "Azure World General History."

Upon seeing this, Yun Xin Yue and her maids wisely withdrew from the study.

"In feudal times, it was a time of fierce competition among warlords!"

Zhou Chen sighed and said.

After the God of War disappeared and the major pantheons collapsed, the ancient era ended and the feudal era began, and the entire Azure Star was suddenly engulfed in war!

All of this is due to the return of the Martial Venerables and Martial Saints who originally resided in the small world of the gods.

After these martial lords and martial saints returned to the human world, none of them chose to live in seclusion in the mountains; instead, they all stepped forward, unwilling to remain idle!

Some of them were determined to spread their teachings and glorify martial arts, so they founded sects and became the founders of super sects.

Some even established their own kingdoms, directly seizing control of a region or even conquering a country.

For example, many duchies and kingdoms in Western Luo Province were destroyed during this period by martial venerables and martial saints who descended to the human world.

Even the Assyrian Empire, which was the most powerful empire in Western Luo Province at the time, was destroyed by a joint attack by many martial masters and martial saints.

The ancient order of the Azure Star has vanished.

Of course, among these martial venerables and martial saints, there were also those who were not very ambitious and who sought refuge with the kingdoms and empires of the human world.

For example, that Shang Family's ancestor had pledged allegiance to the Eastern Luo Continent Mystic Xia Empire, the overlord of Dongluo Continent at the time.

The Mystic Xia Empire has close ties with both the Mystic God Grand Mystery God System and the Xia God, two of the three main gods of the Taixuan pantheon.

In the early days of ancient times, the Xia God had a relationship with a woman in the human world.

The woman gave birth to a son, Emperor Xia.

Because Emperor Xia possessed the genes of a peak Martial God, his cultivation speed was extremely fast. He became a Martial Venerable expert as soon as he came of age.

At this time, the Xia God sent a guide from the pantheon to bring the Emperor Xia to the Grand Mystery God Realm.

However, Emperor Xia was unwilling to go to a small world like the Grand Mystery God Realm, and wanted to stay in the mortal world, living a carefree life.

Xia God, of course, would not allow it. As the chief god of the Grand Mystery God Realm, he naturally had to uphold the rules that all the martial gods unanimously agreed upon.

That means that in the entire Eastern Luo Continent, anyone whose strength reaches the Spirit Refining Venerable level must ascend to the Grand Mystery God Realm and cannot remain in the mortal world!

However, under the coercion of her father, the Xia God, Emperor Xia was still unwilling to ascend to the Grand Mystery God Realm. Instead, she dragged her feet and remained in the mortal world.

Moreover, during this period, Emperor Xia's strength was further enhanced, reaching the level of Martial Saint.

It should be noted that at that time, the martial gods of the Grand Mystery God Realm were unwilling to appear in the mortal world due to the problem of energy leakage. Therefore, the strongest of those guides was only a peak martial saint.

As a descendant of the Xia God, Emperor Xia became a Martial Saint and possessed immense combat power, repeatedly defeating the Divine Realm who came to guide him.

Of course, this was also because the guides were unwilling to kill him. After all, Emperor Xia was the son of Xia God, and if they accidentally killed this second-generation god, they wouldn't have enough heads to chop off.

These guides from the Divine Realm seemed to have become sparring partners, constantly feeding Emperor Xia new moves.

In this way, through constant battles with the guides of the Grand Mystery God Realm, Emperor Xia's cultivation and combat experience improved rapidly, and she soon became a peak Martial Saint!

During this period, Emperor Xia rose to fame in the Eastern Luo Continent. Martial arts experts in the human world admired this man who dared to oppose the Grand Mystery God Realm!

Of course, they also admired Emperor Xia Hou for being born into such a good family, becoming the son of the Xia God.

After all, if he hadn't been the son of the Xia God, Emperor Xia would have been crushed to death by the guides of the Grand Mystery God Realm long ago, and would never have had the chance to become a peak Martial Saint.

The powerful background is the reason why Emperor Xia was able to remain alive and kicking even after becoming an enemy of the Grand Mystery God Realm!

Many martial lords and martial saints who wanted to stay in the mortal realm and did not want to ascend to the Divine Realm went to seek refuge with Emperor Xia.

Therefore, Emperor Xia's power grew rapidly like a snowball, and soon became the most powerful martial arts force in the entire Eastern Luo Continent, and even in the entire human world.

It would be very difficult for martial arts forces to govern such a large area; they would need a more advanced organizational structure.

Therefore, Emperor Xia took advantage of the situation and established the Great Xia.

The reason for changing its name to the Mystic Xia Empire is related to a woman.

The full name of this woman is not recorded in the general history; she is only referred to as Mystic Ancestor.

Mystic Ancestor was the daughter of Mystic God and also a guide.

After Emperor Xia established the Great Xia, the Mystic God of the Divine Realm was furious and sent his daughter, Mystic Ancestor, to lead the Divine Realm army to punish him!

Mystic Ancestor was also a peak Martial Saint. If the concentration of primordial energy in the ancient Azure Blue Plane had not been insufficient, she would have already broken through to the realm of Martial God.

Mystic Ancestor descended upon the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty and fought a great battle with the Emperor Xia Queen.

Then, she and Emperor Xia developed a mutual respect and she became the Empress of the Great Xia.

Therefore, the Emperor Xia renamed the Great Xia Empire as the Mystic Xia Empire.

When his daughter became the Empress of the Mystic Xia Empire, the Mystic God fell silent and had no choice but to discuss with the Xia God, tacitly acknowledging the existence of the Mystic Xia Empire.

Emperor Xia was also very sensible and took the initiative to let Empress Mystic Ancestor return to the Divine Realm to visit her father and Father-in-law and to discuss matters with the Divine Realm.

From then on, the Mystic Xia Empire began to worship the gods of the Grand Mystery God Realm. Throughout the entire Eastern Luo Continent, some of the powerful individuals who broke through to the Martial Venerable or Martial Saint levels and were willing to pledge allegiance to the Mystic Xia Imperial Family were allowed to remain in the mortal realm.

Most Martial Venerables and Martial Saints still ascend to the Divine Realm.

In the feudal era, the ancestors of the Shang Family sought refuge with the Mystic Xia Empire because the Mystic Xia Imperial Family had a good relationship with the Grand Mystery God Realm.

Moreover, the Mystic Xia Empire itself is a force to be reckoned with. Even if those Martial Venerables and Martial Saints who have returned from the Divine Realm wanted to stir up trouble, it wouldn't be so easy for them.
