Three Years of Seclusion, Limit-Breaking Divine Abilities, New Changes on Xuanxing

Jiang Shu's speech at the Jiangnan Academy was like a hurricane that swept the world.

Countless martial artists were once again deeply moved. Some ordinary martial artists who received funding from the Martial Dao Foundation experienced a moment of enlightenment after watching the speech, gaining a deeper understanding of "Everyone is Like a Dragon Fist".

They practiced "Everyone is Like a Dragon Fist" over and over again, their faith like a dragon, like streams of energy converging and forming between heaven and earth.

Jiang Shu, sitting atop Ji Mountain, breathed in and out. This little bit of Faith Power, under the application of the Art of Governance by Non-Interference, gradually transformed into refined spiritual power.

"Because martial artists have varying levels of skill and conviction, the Faith Power they receive varies depending on the region. For example, although Jicheng is my hometown, the number of martial artists there is always less than that of Jiangnan City. Therefore, the Faith Power I absorb is relatively less."

"Many grains of sand make a tower, and little by little, we can achieve great things. As long as Xuanxing develops and the number of martial artists increases, I will be able to obtain a continuous source of Faith Power. The Hunyuan Breath Realm, Primal Chaos Breathing Realm may have taken ten or even several decades to cultivate in the past, may be reached in just a few years, allowing me to aim for the Sitting and Forgetting Realm!"

Cultivating one's spiritual realm is always becoming increasingly difficult.

Whether it's Mind Cultivation in the Cosmos or the cultivation of Origin Power in the Vast Desolate Domain, both undoubtedly require a significant amount of time.

Now, with the integration of the Divine Dao system and the generation of Faith Power among Xuanxing warriors, it is equivalent to a huge amount of Cultivation Resources.

"This is equivalent to AFK cultivation in a game in my previous life. As long as I stay on Xuanxing, my spiritual power can continue to increase. Next, I should spend more energy on the Body Refining of the Vast Desolate Domain. I need to speed up the refinement of my Origin Power and supernatural abilities."

Jiang Shu murmured to himself. After returning from his lecture at the Jiangnan Academy, he not only cultivated day and night, but also returned to the True Martial Sect several times.

I received both good news and bad news.

The good news is that, thanks to Lu Qing Ling's connections, the descendants of Nether Lightning True Person were quickly identified.

It was only at this point that Jiang Shu learned the original name and life story of Nether Lightning True Person.

Zhou Ming.

Among the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, the thirty-fifth city, is a branch of the Zhou Family, a late-blooming genius. He lost his father at a young age and learned martial arts from his mother. Organ Refining at twenty, Blood Exchanging at twenty-two, and only entered the Rebirth Realm at thirty.

At his mother's request, he got married and joined the main branch of the Zhou Family in the Seventh City. Together with a group of branch families and geniuses from the main branch, he entered the True Martial Sect.

At thirty-six, True Fire is gathered.

At the age of fifty, he swallowed a Origin Core and became a true inner disciple.

And this happened thirty years ago.

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and many things have been buried by the wind and sand.

For example, one of the main lineage's geniuses who joined the sect with Zhou Ming was named Zhou Yan.

For example, this genius of the main lineage, after only a few years in the inner sect, suddenly seemed to have received a great opportunity thirty years ago. He broke through a minor realm every ten years, and now he has actually stepped into the late stage of the Essence Core Realm. He has sixty-nine supernatural abilities and is showing signs of being able to climb the True Disciple Seed Ranking of the inner sect.

"Once martial arts cultivation reaches the Furnace Fire Realm, True Fire burns the body, completely shedding the mortal body. Ordinary martial artists will find it very difficult to conceive the offspring of the Furnace Fire Realm cultivator. Therefore, Nether Lightning True Person married when he reached the Rebirth Realm, leaving behind descendants to accompany his mother in his place."

"If Nether Lightning True Person were alive, his descendants would have had ample resources for cultivation. They could either join a sect or spread their influence in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities. But once he died and his cultivation dissipated, everything would be like a dream. His descendants would not only be unable to join a sect, but would also have to leave their former cities and live in anonymity."

"First, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Second, no one knows who is involved in the death of Nether Lightning True Person, or whether he will face retaliation."

Thoughts surged like a tide, echoing in my mind.

"Since joining the sect at the age of thirty, fifty years have passed Nether Lightning True Person has one son, who in turn has a son and a daughter. His son is at the Aperture Opening Realm, his eldest son is twenty years old and at the Blood Exchange Realm, and his youngest daughter is sixteen years old and at the Viscera Training Realm. There are not many descendants, so taking care of them is not a troublesome matter."

"The real trouble is Zhou Yan. Judging from the timeline, Nether Lightning True Person was probably competing with Zhou Yan for the same fortuitous opportunity at the same time. In the end, Zhou Yan won through various means, while Nether Lightning True Person fled all the way and eventually perished in the Great Jing Dynasty."

"On the path of cultivation, there is no right or wrong, only who can reach the end."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shu closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Having many lice doesn't make you afraid of being bitten.

He has made far too many enemies these days.

Within the True Martial Sect, there is Zhou Yan, who has the potential to be listed on the True Disciple Seed Ranking.

Beyond the Xuanxing lie the true forms of various Deity.

His realm and strength are comparable to those of Martial God among the martial artists of Xuanxing.

But in the eyes of these enemies, it was still nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

To eliminate them one by one, the path of cultivation cannot be interrupted in any way.

Jiang Shu took out the Mystical Power Great Elixir from Profound Water True Person and began to refine the divine power within it, making it his own.

One after another, brand-new supernatural abilities emerged on the Panel under the tempering and burning of True Fire.

Day and night fly by, time flows like water.

Three years is almost a period of rapid progress for Xuanxing, which is experiencing a revival of Origin Qi and a flourishing of technology and martial arts.

But for Jiang Shu, it was just a period of seclusion.

The honing of several supernatural skills.

Within three years, he refined the twelve divine abilities within the Profound Water True Person Mystical Power Great Elixir, and also raised the Five Thunders Great Handprint, Kun Peng Devouring Art, and Heaven's Will True Self Body to the Limit-Breaking Level.

It is almost comparable to a divine power of the Earth Rank.

The Heaven Rank Cultivation Method "Azure Sky Blue Sea Art" has also progressed from the beginner level to the minor mastery level.

The speed at which he Origin Qi and refines Origin Power is comparable to that of a typical Origin Core Realm Master.

The True Fire within his Dantian burned fiercely, and his Origin Power condensed and compressed to its limit; even a single drop of Origin Power seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"In three years, although my cultivation level is still only at the Primal Chaos Breathing and Furnace Fire Realm, the number of divine abilities I have cultivated has increased from sixteen to twenty-eight. Several important divine abilities have also been mastered to the Great Accomplishment Perfection or even Limit Break. My combat strength has increased by at least more than double."

"Now, if I were to face the siege of the God of Dark Night again, I would hardly need to resort to extreme measures such as the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, the Profound Water Puppet, or the self-destruction of the Azure Sky Blue Sea Seal. I could fight against many on my own."

"My secluded cultivation has reached its limit. If I want to improve further within the Furnace Fire Realm, I must go to the Endless Sea Domain for another trial."

"The last time I went there, it was to accompany Lu Qing Ling, and I didn't stay in Overturning Sea City for long. On the one hand, I had killed the Dao One Sect disciples and didn't want to get into trouble or cause any unnecessary Primal Chaos Breathing. On the other hand, my strength was not as good as it is now. I had just advanced to the Xuanxing who lacked powerful Treasure Artifact, I had the strength to fight, but against Origin Core Realm Master who had accumulated decades or even hundreds of years of experience, my spiritual power was clearly not enough."

"After the Xuanxing matter is over and the descendants of Nether Lightning True Person are settled, I will go to Overturning Sea City to train and see if I can refine some more Origin Core Realm Master's divine abilities. Twenty-eight divine abilities are already extremely powerful among ordinary Outer Sect Disciple. But the first place on the Dao One Sect's Mystical Power Ranking has thirty-five divine abilities! Our True Martial Sect Mystical Power Ranking, Lin Yanqing, also has thirty-four divine abilities."

"True geniuses accumulate their strength in the Furnace Fire Realm in order to condense more Natal Mystical Power when they advance to the Origin Core Realm! Even now that Lin Yanqing has entered the Essence Core Realm, his Origin Core has thirty-four innate Natal Mystical Power. If it collides with the Mystical Power Great Elixir of Profound Water True Person, which has thirty-five divine abilities, it will definitely shake Profound Water True Person's Origin Core and its luster will be dimmed."

"The more Natal Mystical Power Origin Core possesses, the greater its combat power can be unleashed within the Essence Core Realm, and the higher its chances of entering the Nirvana Realm in the future."

Jiang Shu's eyes shone brightly; the Essence Core Realm was not the Furnace Fire Realm.

If we're talking about the Furnace Fire Realm, it's the starting point for cultivators.

Therefore, the Essence Core Realm is a crucial link, bridging the gap between the previous and subsequent stages.

Of course, for a major sect like True Martial Sect, in addition to aptitude and cultivation level, age is also a key factor in the assessment of disciples.

For Outer Sect Disciple, the maximum age is sixty.

Once someone is over sixty years old, even if they reach the Furnace Fire Realm, they will be expelled from the True Martial Sect. If they want to stay, they can only become the manager of the Servant Peak.

The maximum age for inner disciple is one hundred years old.

Therefore, while it is true that the more supernatural abilities one cultivates during the Furnace Fire Realm, the better, not all Outer Sect Disciple will devote all their energy to cultivating them.

On the one hand, the more supernatural abilities one cultivates, the more difficult it becomes to condense the Origin Core.

On the one hand, for cultivators of average talent, it might take about a year to even begin to learn a single supernatural ability. And supernatural abilities cannot be merely mastered; one must progress to minor mastery, Great Accomplishment, and even perfection.

First Order requires a significant amount of time and resources to refine.

For an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, being able to cultivate more than a dozen supernatural abilities, condense Origin Core before the age of one hundred, and advance to become inner disciple is already considered an extremely remarkable achievement.

For them, it's better to enter the inner sect sooner and obtain more Cultivation Resources than to master one or two more supernatural abilities while still in the Furnace Fire Realm.

We walked slowly down from the villa area of Ji Mountain.

After having a family dinner with his parents, Jiang Shu headed north.

He moved through various cities, sensing the ever-growing Faith Power emanating from each school.

There are students who were once ordinary, but after clarifying their intentions and having faith, they made rapid progress, like martial arts geniuses. After practicing martial arts for a little over a year in high school, they became martial artists of the first realm.

There were once genius students who, after advancing to the Third Realm of Martial Dao, joined the coastal troops, conquered the Pacific Ocean, fought against countless Variant Ferocious Beast, and honed themselves in life-and-death situations. The Faith Power they accumulated was almost three or four times that of geniuses of the same realm who were still in school.

Ordinary elderly and middle-aged people are now practicing their stances and Guidance Technique in the martial arts square, Whole Body Qi and Blood Great Circulation and gives them excellent complexion.

The city's old neighborhoods have almost all been demolished and rebuilt, and every newly built high-rise building has a very futuristic feel.

In the sky, several empty tracks stretched out as the newly developed levitation train sped past.

On the mall's large screen, videos about martial arts and technology were playing.

"Breaking news: Xiao Ming, a genius from Class 1, Grade 12 of No. 9 Middle School in our city, has officially entered the Second Realm of Martial Dao and has been specially recruited by the Tianshu Academy."

"Our city's powerful figure, Mr. Pei Canguang, slaughtered a Fifth Order Variant Ferocious Beast in the Pacific Ocean, and it will be auctioned off in three days."

"Professor Zhong Hongjie's project team at the Shengjing Academy has successfully developed the Heaven-Class Warplane No. 1. It can not only enter and exit various deep mountains, but its maximum speed can even break away from Xuanxing and enter the Cosmos. It is a brand-new piece of equipment that Fifth Realm of Martial Dao experts cannot afford to miss."

"Congratulations from the whole nation! Wang Yan Wang Tianren, successfully broke through to the Sixth Realm of Martial Dao yesterday and was promoted to a powerful expert in the Spirit Breathing Realm."

"Latest observations! There are three habitable planets around Xuanxing! The citizens of the Ala Kingdom will be the first to immigrate and explore these planets."

"Latest battle report from the Pacific Ocean: Xia Kingdom has achieved a great victory and successfully captured another island. Among them, Zhao Cheng has repeatedly distinguished himself in battle and has been promoted to major."

"Good news! The cult branch of the Rainstorm Evil God has been successfully destroyed in our city."

The city is livable, and the middle-aged and elderly are radiating new vitality. Fertility has increased significantly. On the streets, pedestrians are bustling about, some lingering in front of large screens, watching news reports with happy smiles on their faces.

Absorbing the Faith Power, Jiang Shu traversed the crowds and finally stepped into Shengjing.

Imperial Court.

Unimpeded journey.

Wang Yan, who was still consolidating his cultivation, immediately came out of seclusion upon hearing the news of Jiang Shu's arrival and personally greeted him, "The First Leader is still in a meeting. Is there something you need, Martial God Jiang?"

Standing in front of Wang Yan, Jiang Shu looked like an ordinary person, as if he had never practiced martial arts.

But once Wang Yan used his mental power to probe, it was as if he had come into contact with an unfathomable ocean and an unreachable sky.

Three years have passed, and he has made rapid progress, covering a distance he once thought would take ten years.

But Martial God Jiang... is an even greater genius, his realm is unfathomable and immeasurable!

"Having emerged from seclusion, I've become restless and decided to come and take a walk. I wonder if the West Deity have come again?"

The people of the city only ever know a part of the Xia Kingdom.

Jiang Shu needed to know the whole story, so he had to come to Shengjing and ask the First Leader, Wang Yan.

"With you here, they naturally wouldn't dare, but they keep making small moves. However, these cults are like water without a source in the Xia Kingdom. With current technology, we can quickly find their location and wipe them out in one fell swoop. They won't be able to make any waves at all."

"The naval battlefield is also progressing exceptionally smoothly. Many geniuses have grown stronger in the battles, displaying two to three times their previous combat power. Their martial arts improvement speed has also accelerated. Many promising talents have emerged."

"The Cosmic Warship we discovered in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm have been completely repaired over this long period of time and are ready to travel through Cosmos. Of course, for the time being, we will definitely send a group of citizens from other countries to colonize planets and see how things go."

"After all, the planets we've discovered so far are only habitable, not necessarily suitable for cultivation. No matter how vast Xuanxing is, it has its limits. No matter how abundant its resources are, they're not enough to sustain billions of martial artists. That's why the First Leader decided to send citizens from some small countries up there, and then make Xuanxing our exclusive Xia Kingdom."

"In the past three years, Xia Kingdom has grown a lot, and it's mostly good news. The only thing that's hard to tell is that three more powerful individuals have entered Xuanxing through the Star Gate. Strangely, the West has only gained two more Deity, and there's still no news about one powerful individual. He's completely hidden, and we don't know his strength or whereabouts. It's as if he's never existed."

"If he were in the West, it wouldn't matter, since things are already in chaos there. What I fear is that he has come to our Xia Kingdom. And my cultivation level is limited, so I cannot detect him..."
