Martial Saint through Reading

But just because the Black and White Divine Palace doesn’t seek him out, doesn’t mean he won’t seek them out.

According to the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp’s hatred transfer plan, the third ancient lamp is now in hand, but before dying, Second Senior Brother Ming Si transferred all treasures to Third Senior Sister Ming Lu.

Ming Lu escaped, and was rescued by Outer Palace Elder Mo Chen, along with Senior Brother, resulting in Chu Ming now holding only two ancient lamps.

The ancient lamp is an object of the Immortal, rumored to hold the inheritance of an Immortal within.

”Immortal...”

Chu Ming murmured.

Before the battle in Yiyang Kingdom, he speculated that the so-called Immortal is a powerful being cultivated to a certain realm, whose every movement is like that of an Immortal.

After the great war in Yiyang Kingdom, he reviewed all the Classics and Secret Strategies left by Wu Dai and Xing Hong, and he could almost confirm his previous speculation.

”The Sixth Realm of Martial Arts is the Sea of Qi Realm, the Seventh Realm is Returning to the Origin, and the Eighth Realm is the Divine Barrier.”

”Opening the Mysterious Gate of the Physical Body and comprehending the True Intent of Heaven and Earth... the next step is the Quasi-Immortal Realm.”

”And above the Quasi-Immortal, it’s very likely the true Immortal Realm!”

What is an Immortal?

Soaring through the clouds, summoning wind and rain?

Creating an army from beans, transcending the ordinary?

Or perhaps, eternal life, escaping reincarnation?

”Immortal...”

Chu Ming’s eyes flickered.

This path he walks is for transcendence, and also for eternal life.

But most importantly, to dominate his own fate.

The Seventh Realm, the Eighth Realm, the Ninth Realm, even the True Immortal; if he can’t achieve them, he will continue upward.

However, one thing is certain, the Immortal inheritance is extremely important and cannot be ignored.

If he is strong enough, he will definitely seek out the Outer Palace Elder Mo Chen of the Black and White Divine Palace.

Setting aside the Black and White Divine Palace and the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp, next is the Black Flame Sect of the Celestial Veil Kingdom.

The Celestial Veil Kingdom is one of the three major powers in the Ancient Profound Western Continent, and the Black Flame Sect is a highly formidable force within that kingdom. If Luo Mu sent out a message before his death, it’s detrimental to him.

Fortunately, in Luo Mu’s identity, he killed Second Senior Brother Ming Si. If the plan goes smoothly, Mo Chen of the Black and White Divine Palace should have a confrontation with the Black Flame Sect.

The clash of these two great forces can buy him considerable time to enhance his strength.

Compared to the Black and White Divine Palace and the Black Flame Sect, there is also the Seven-Star Kingdom.

Before Xing Hong died, he indeed conveyed a message through the Mirror Moon Pearl. It’s likely that the two in the Seventh Realm of the Seven-Star Kingdom have already learned of Xing Hong’s demise and might return from the Ghostly Sea to seek revenge.

”Return... very well...” Chu Ming’s eyes grew deep.

Xing Man from the Seven-Star Kingdom possesses a True Intent Soldier Embryo. If they do not come seeking revenge, he will seek them out.

If Xing Man and Han Court are in the Ghostly Sea, seeking them would undoubtedly be costly, but returning to the Seven-Star Kingdom would save much trouble.

However, saving trouble doesn’t mean there are no troubles.

A strong practitioner of the Seventh Realm, with Chu Ming’s current strength, would be somewhat strenuous to deal with.

Moreover, Xing Man and Han Court have coexisted for hundreds of years and have ventured through a dangerous place like the Ghostly Sea. They possess Innate Spiritual Treasures, so their strength is not to be underestimated.

He must seek the True Intent Soldier Embryo, but he is not a person to lose his sense of reason over treasures.

”I must first enhance my strength...”

There are many ways to enhance strength, the most direct and effective being the elevation of realm.

Chu Ming cultivates both Martial Arts and Primordial Qi. Martial Arts is at the early stage of the Sixth Realm, Sea of Qi Realm, while Primordial Qi is at the mid-Stage of the Sixth Realm.

With the assistance of the four lakes in the Sea of Consciousness, the elevation of realm is not slow, but aiming to reach the Seventh Realm in a short period is nearly impossible.

Not to mention the Seventh Realm, even achieving Sixth Realm Perfection in cultivation at the current speed would take months.

Even if the Cultivation Technique’s subsequent deductions optimize and accelerate the cultivation speed, reducing it to one or two timelines, he can hardly wait.

Heaven and Earth Tribulation... the Black and White Divine Palace... various obstructions lie ahead, not allowing him hundreds of years for slow cultivation like others.

Hence, for now, realm elevation must be a gradual and ’slow’ process.

Of course, this ’slow’ is relative to his previous speed of realm elevation.

Compared to taking hundreds of years to cultivate to the Perfection of the Sixth Realm, this ’slow’ takes on a different meaning.

Apart from the realm, there are also treasures, Divine Power Secret Technique, Primordial Technique, and comprehension of True Intent to enhance strength.

Chu Ming, at the Sixth Realm, without opening the Physical Divine Barrier, comprehended the True Intents of Destruction, Silent Extinction, Fierce Evil, and Golden Gang Indestructible, clearly feeling the obscure suppression of the rules of heaven and earth.

So without the aid of the True Intent Soldier Embryo, advancement in True Intent is currently difficult.

What’s left are treasures, Divine Power Secret Technique, and Primordial Technique.

On the treasure level, unless it’s an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it doesn’t provide much advancement for him.

Innate Spiritual Treasures, either robed or bought.

But encountering those possessing Innate Spiritual Treasures, or successfully robbing them, is rare.

As for buying, even selling all third-class, second-class, and first-class spiritual treasures might only exchange for the weakest Innate Spiritual Treasure, and that isn’t guaranteed.

Moreover, Ten Thousand Stars Sand is not necessarily enough for an Innate Spiritual Treasure in exchange.

Innate Spiritual Treasure, a Tier Seven Treasure; even the acclaimed all-encompassing Heavenly Inquiry Tower rarely sells it.

Add to this the fact that Wu Dai and Yi Chentian maliciously employed the True Intent Soldier Embryo aura as a trap, indicating that the seemingly reputable Heavenly Inquiry Tower is equally nefarious.

Chu Ming believes, if he ventures to the Heavenly Inquiry Tower with Ten Thousand Stars Sand at his Sixth Realm initial stage strength, he surely won’t return.

However, he possesses the Book and Painting Realm, capable of altering the strength of aura.

He can first acquire more Tier Six Treasures, accumulate enough Ten Thousand Stars Sand, then alter his aura and try his luck at the Heavenly Inquiry Tower.
