Chapter 144: Chapter 141: Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution! Enlightenment Divine Stele!

Yongyuan County, Lin Yuan City.

The General’s Compound.

Sun Zhilan walked along the quiet path, surrounded by trees with yellowing leaves, as autumn had stealthily arrived without notice.

A gentle breeze caressed the branches, causing them to sway and rustle, as leaves drifted down to blanket the ground.

That was when she reached her destination, an unremarkable little courtyard.

Standing before the courtyard gate, she briefly composed her thoughts and suppressed the feeling of awe within her heart.

She was about to reach out her hand to knock gently on the door.

Creak~

The courtyard gate slowly opened.

At the same time, a figure clothed in a gold-patterned profound robe appeared before her.

"What brings you here?"

Qin Zheng gazed at Sun Zhilan with calm eyes and spoke.

Sun Zhilan was immediately flustered, the words she had prepared in her mind vanished in that moment.

"Ah I I I..."

"That’s right! The master has summoned you!"

Finally, Sun Zhilan remembered the purpose of her visit and blurted it out loudly and hastily.

Qin Zheng nodded, seemingly expecting this, and immediately stepped out of the courtyard, heading towards the residence of Wei Wuji.

And watching Qin Zheng’s receding figure,

Sun Zhilan stood still, a tumult of emotions stirring within her.

If it weren’t for her master’s words, she would never have believed that it was this junior disciple, who had only recently joined the sect, who killed the Cangyuan Dragon Lord!

This was a Great Demon who was only a step away from transforming into a True Dragon and becoming a Demon race Great Saint!

This junior disciple, before joining the sect, could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Great Grandmasters while only being at the Grandmaster Realm!

Now, less than a month since his initiation, he had risen to the Great Grandmaster level, and his combat power had surged, defeating the Cangyuan Dragon Lord who had troubled his master for decades!

Such talent!

He was a dragon among men!

He was a banished immortal from the heavens!

Perhaps only in mythical legends would one dare to write such a story!

Sun Zhilan’s face was a mix of emotions as various thoughts spun through her mind, and she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

But Qin Zheng, unaware or indifferent to what the junior sister from General of Qingzhou thought,

Held the Merit Scroll, which could endlessly strengthen oneself as long as there was enough merit. This destiny was already different from that of ordinary people.

If one possessed such a golden finger and was still mediocre, blending in with the rest, that would be truly abnormal.

He followed the secluded path, passing through a blanket of fallen leaves, and arrived at the courtyard where Wei Wuji was often found.

The scene within the courtyard came into Qin Zheng’s view.

Two people sat opposite each other, sharing tea. One of them was Wei Wuji, the General of Qingzhou. He had shed his battle armor for a simple green robe.

Opposite him sat a man of strong build with a fierce face.

Another pinnacle Great Grandmaster!

Sensing the unmasked aura of the burly man, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly.

"You’ve arrived."

At that moment, Wei Wuji looked up, smiled lightly at Qin Zheng, and spoke.

With the Cangyuan Dragon Lord slain, the major worry that had plagued him for decades was lifted, and Wei Wuji seemed more relaxed.

Qin Zheng nodded and stepped into the courtyard, and then casually glanced over to a corner of the courtyard.

There, a man with a swollen bruised face was kneeling, bound.

And his aura... that of a Great Grandmaster!

"Gao Wenyu’s dog got in my way, so I took care of him too," said the fearsome burly man.

Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the man.

"Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution, Zhao Li."

The man also turned, fixing his gaze on Qin Zheng, before adding, "This worthless cur slowed me down, almost leading to a disaster."

"Brother Wuji told me that you were the one who ultimately appeared, turning the tide and slaying the Cangyuan Dragon Lord. Truly impressive spirit!"

Qin Zheng shook his head and replied, "The Flood Dragon had expended too much strength in the battle with my master; I merely took advantage of the situation."

Zhao Li laughed, not dwelling on Qin Zheng’s modesty, and changed the subject, "Would you like to join us for a drink?"

Qin Zheng approached and took a seat at one side of the round table.

"I have seen many with innate divine strength, but someone like you, with martial arts realm barely stepping into the Great Grandmaster level yet possessing the combat power to rival the supreme beings, is indeed rare," Zhao Li said, continuing to speak with admiration in his eyes as he looked at Qin Zheng.

"You have good talent. How about joining us at the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution?"

Zhao Li was forthright, inviting Qin Zheng in front of Wei Wuji without any reservation.

And upon hearing his words, Wei Wuji showed no reaction, simply smiling as he brewed a pot of tea and pushed a cup towards Qin Zheng.

"Thank you, Master," Qin Zheng began with gratitude.

He then looked towards Zhao Li and continued, "I appreciate the senior’s kind affection, but my realm is still too low, not enough to enter the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution."

The Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution is the hub of Great Jin’s Martial Arts.

There, one could find the most powerful martial artists of Great Jin, who could impart wisdom, teach, and resolve doubts.

There were also all of the divine martial skills of Great Jin available for exchange based on one’s merits.

However... Qin Zheng knew without much thought that there definitely weren’t any monsters there.

At this moment, his various martial skills were still far from perfection, and the Cangyuan Dragon Lord’s demon core had not yet been refined.

Thus, what he needed most was not divine martial skills, but a great amount of merits.

Going to the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution would be equivalent to cutting off his own path of accumulating merits by slaying monsters.

Doing so, on the contrary, would be a bad thing for him.

As for the presence of martial arts masters who could teach and resolve doubts, that was even less attractive to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng knew his current situation very well, so he immediately refused the opportunity that almost every martial artist in Great Jin dreamed of.

As for his refusal, both Wei Wuji and Zhao Li seemed to have anticipated it and did not appear surprised.

"You still need to visit the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution at least once," Wei Wuji said with a light smile.

Qin Zheng looked at him with some puzzlement.

He then heard the Commander-in-chief continue to say, "The reason the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution is called the hub of Great Jin’s Martial Arts..."

"...is not only because of the divine martial skills and martial artists but most importantly, because there is an Enlightenment Divine Stele!"

"Contemplating that stele can swiftly enhance your martial skills in a short time, perceive your own shortcomings, and thereby make amends and solidify your foundation."

"With your exceptional talent and rapid progress, it’s inevitable that some imperfections could remain in your cultivation. Sitting in front of the Enlightenment Divine Stele for just one night should be enough to compensate for them."

Enlightenment Divine Stele?!

Upon hearing Wei Wuji’s introduction, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Sitting in front of the stele could rapidly enhance one’s martial arts in a short time!

Did the Great Jin Dynasty truly have such a miraculous thing?

If he were to go to the Taiwu Institution and contemplate in front of the Enlightenment Divine Stele the "Eighty-One Transformations to Saintliness Scripture," wouldn’t he be able to rapidly improve his realm without consuming merits?

If he could bring the "Eighty-One Transformations to Saintliness Scripture" to perfection in one fell swoop, wouldn’t he achieve the Martial Saint Realm?!

Even if not, it would save him a vast amount of merits!

And there was also the "Secret Spiritual Mind Book" that he had yet to bring to perfection. If he perfected this martial skill, it would undoubtedly bring about great changes!

Both of these martial skills required an immense amount of merits to improve, and if he really could enhance them through the Enlightenment Divine Stele...

That... would truly be a tremendous gain!

Having these thoughts, Qin Zheng felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

However, he maintained his composure on the outside. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "As my master said, if this Enlightenment Divine Stele is so miraculous, there must surely be significant requirements to contemplate it, right?"

"Of course, this is a certainty!"

The one to answer was not Wei Wuji, but Zhao Li.

This Great Grandmaster from the Taiwu Institution spoke, "In the Thirty-Six States of Great Jin, there are countless martial artists, yet there is only one Enlightenment Divine Stele! Naturally, not just anyone is qualified to contemplate it!"

"But... the merits you have established in Qingzhou are too substantial. Stopping and killing twenty-four Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm in the Mo Xu Mountain Range, and slaying the Cangyuan Dragon Lord at the Cangyuan River, preventing the birth of a Great Demon of the Demon race, are enough to gain you an opportunity to contemplate the stele!"

After finishing his words, Zhao Li looked at Qin Zheng with a smile and evaluated him before adding, "To contemplate the Enlightenment Divine Stele even once is a tremendous blessing!"

"And no matter how great the merits one has made, a martial artist can contemplate the stele up to three times in their lifetime, and this is true even for the National Martial Saint."

"So before you go to the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution to contemplate the stele, you would be well advised to have preliminarily mastered the martial skills you wish to cultivate. Only then can you maximize your gains."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng immediately realised the other party was giving him guidance.

So he quickly bowed with cupped fists and said, "Thank you for the senior’s advice!"

The other party’s words further elevated Qin Zheng’s expectations for the Enlightenment Divine Stele.

After discussing this matter, the three of them grew quiet for a time, silently sipping their tea.

A short while later.

Wei Wuji and Zhao Li exchanged looks.

Then, Wei Wuji spoke, "Regarding the Cangyuan Dragon Lord affair, both the Provincial Governor’s Mansion and the Moxu Demon Lair have crossed the line."

Zhao Li nodded and added, "They should be firmly admonished and deterred."

"You handle the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, and I will take care of the Moxu Demon Lair."

The two of them discussed and assigned their next actions in a back-and-forth manner.

With the Cangyuan Dragon Lord gone, Wei Wuji was finally free to take action and discipline the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.

Having agreed on their plans, Zhao Li turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, raised his eyebrows, and then said, "What do you think? Are you interested in joining us two old men for a trip?"

"Whether you follow your master to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion to deal with Gao Wenyu or come with me to the Moxu Demon Lair?"

Wei Wuji also turned his gaze towards Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng, who had been silently drinking tea while listening to the two elders converse, suddenly found the conversation turning towards him.

After some thought, he asked, "To go to the Moxu Demon Lair, is it to slay demons?"

Zhao Li nodded and replied, "Of course!"

Qin Zheng then said, "Then I’ll go to the Moxu Demon Lair!"

Although Gao Wenyu had committed many evils and slaying him would certainly yield substantial merits,

Wei Wuji’s visit to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion was at most to admonish and deter, and he would certainly not slay Gao Wenyu.

Visiting the Moxu Demon Lair with a Great Grandmaster accompanying him, he could be more unrestrained in slaying monsters and accumulating merits!

Although he had a feud with the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, he would not waste a great opportunity to accumulate merits!

Hearing his response, Zhao Li and Wei Wuji looked at each other, their eyes full of satisfaction.
