Chapter 1432 - Chapter 1432 Chapter 703 The Coming of the Sovereign

Chapter 1432: Chapter 703: The Coming of the Sovereign Chapter 1432: Chapter 703: The Coming of the Sovereign Martial Arts Rating System–Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, and Mortal; each is distinguished based on the amount of Spiritual Power their moves can bear.

Mortal-grade martial arts are mostly techniques that affect only oneself, whether bursts of immense strength or lightness of body akin to a swallow; those that allow energy to emanate from the body or slash through the air are already considered remarkable.

At the Yellow grade, after a qualitative transformation of the Spiritual Power (1000), it starts to solidify and can construct Spiritual Power nodes to take shape; swords, spears, sabers, halberds, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and leopards are all products of infused Spiritual Power.

At the Profound grade, following a second qualitative transformation, the Spiritual Power is akin to soil turning into stone. At this level, Spiritual Power not only moves as if alive but can also affect the same Primary Qi between heaven and earth.

Within this grade, the strength of Spirit Arts is clearly demarcated. Even among Spirit Arts of the same grade, the weakest and the strongest can differ by up to ten times in power.

If one considers the effects of a binding soul, refined Primary Qi, and added supernatural abilities, this discrepancy could be even larger.

But the most significant qualitative leap in Spirit Arts undoubtedly comes from fusion techniques today.

Fusing two or even more types of Spiritual Energy through special methods can achieve power comparable to Combined Attack Techniques.

Tong Wuxie, naturally a master of this path, could see the flow of Spiritual Energy and contributed several directions for fusing Spiritual Power to Wuji Mansion single-handedly.

Even Tong Wuxie arrogantly believed at one time that not even all the masters on Martial Saint Mountain could surpass him in single-person fusion techniques.

The Spirit Roaring Technique was invincible when it was first created, until he met Bu Chun of Qilin Mountain and realized that there were mountains beyond mountains, heavens beyond heavens.

He then retreated to cultivate in seclusion, creating the Three Heavenly Elements and proving the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Penalty.

All that Tong Wuxie, who had already found the path to the King Realm, lacked was the accumulation of Spiritual Power, which naturally elevated his state of mind even further.

At his level, most Spirit Arts could be learned with a single glance, and even the most exquisite techniques were picked up with ease.

Therefore, for nearly twenty years, Tong Wuxie stopped bothering with distinctions between clans and schools, starting to attempt the restoration of various lost ancient peerless techniques.

Legend has it that the ancient sage Yun Zu could use cloud Qi to create three Dharma Bodies indistinguishable from his own true form, fighting against them was like facing three enemies at once. But after Yun Zu’s demise, the “Three Immortals Technique” was lost, and no one else could achieve this feat.

The prideful Wuji Grandmaster naturally did not believe in such superstition, so the “Three Qi Renyuan Technique” came into existence.

Sadly, even though Tong Wuxie used Pure Yang Heavenly Clear Qi, Primordial Essence Human Spirit Qi, and Gen Earth Innate Qi to mold the spiritual puppets, he couldn’t bring them to life, so the created puppets still had to be manipulated by the true soul.

Despite various flaws, the spiritual puppets created from the Three Elements Qi possessed a power and resilience far beyond ordinary Spirit Arts.

In a sense, if the Three Elements Qi could indeed be turned into a Dharma Aspect, one would be practically unbeatable at the same level.

‘It’s a pity, just a bit short of the way of Spirit. How exactly did Yun Zu make the Dharma Body sentient,’ Tong Wuxie thought to himself while his Human Yuan Dharma Aspect clashed with Xiao Jinlin’s half-dragon, half-tiger monster.

The collision of the Human Yuan Dharma Aspect with the fierce half-dragon, half-tiger shook open the fierce winds, and at the center where the Spirit Arts met, two enormous energies tangled with each other.

Tong Wuxie took a glance and swiftly retreated; Xiao Jinlin was stunned for a moment but also backed away far.

The reason the two Grandmasters retreated explosively was not that they couldn’t withstand the shock of the clashing Spirit Arts but because a sudden, enigmatic mighty energy had gathered above the Nine Heavens, with the vortex of Spiritual Power emerging exactly above where the two were engaged in battle.

Pulling apart was merely to ensure a safe distance to respond; at this moment, both had shifted their focus from competing with each other to the suddenly appearing energy vortex.

The energy vortex spun faster and faster, with the essence of fire, thunder, the Mighty Marsh, and the Gentle Wind circulating within it. Tong Wuxie frowned, having an inkling of who was approaching.

The energy vortex exploded with a loud bang, casting a pillar of light from the void, which shattered both the Human Yuan Dharma Aspect and the dragon-tiger monster.

A figure with four wings on its back emerged within the formation, with a vermilion third eye on its forehead, and eyes that seemed to have witnessed the vicissitudes of the world.

The four pairs of Divine Wings erupting with Li Fire, Mighty Marsh, Thunder Shake, and Gentle Wind fluttered lightly, draped in a yellow robe imprinted with seventy-two Divine Courts.

Isn’t that the Qionghua Star Lord, who commands the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol?

What could bring such a figure, who should be stationed in Zhongzhou, to Chengzhou?

Could it be…

A sense of dread welled up in Xiao Jinlin’s heart.

“Qionghua Palace Master, what brings you to grace Longzhou instead of staying in Zhongzhou?” Tong Wuxie, with his hands behind his back, asked the newcomer.

“It seems Brother Tong isn’t welcoming this seat here,” the Qionghua Star Lord replied in a half-mocking, half-teasing tone, without getting angry but instead saying with a smile, “I even stopped the formation especially to greet Brother Tong.”

“Spare me that nonsense,” Tong Wuxie spat disdainfully. “Who doesn’t know that you’ve taken over the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol? This time you must be after Longyuan, right?”

“Nothing gets past Brother Tong,” the Qionghua Star Lord replied with a smile. “My subordinates sent a message saying Wuji Mansion is involved in the struggle for Longyuan, and Brother Tong has taken action personally. Out of helplessness, I had to activate the array to make a royal appearance, hoping Brother Tong would do me this small favor.”

“Your face is quite big, expecting Wuji Mansion to back out just because you descend a Dharma Body?” Tong Wuxie frowned and said. “When Cao Jinyu was alive, it was like this; you’re the same and Xu Xiao even sacrificed his life for the Yun Family’s feud. Why doesn’t the Divine Court let these orphans and widows be? To think you claim to be the Three Realms Holy Land, with such pettiness.”
