Chapter 517: 0336 Changes in the Human World (3k for monthly ticket and subscription)

Taking advantage of Wang Xian’s breakthrough, Lin Xia performed the role of protector while using Wang Xian as an example to explain some knowledge about the Breakthrough Fourth to Lu Chenzhou in detail.

She knew that with Lu Chenzhou’s aptitude, the Breakthrough Third would pose no difficulty, it would be as natural as flowing water.

Only the Breakthrough Fourth requires attention from anyone.

In the Great Wilderness, this is the turning point between mountains and seas.

She said, "There is a certain level of expertise in choosing the Unmelting Bone. Where do you think the most important bones in the human body are?"

Lu Chenzhou answered, "The skull, right? It protects the head."

Lin Xia nodded, "Indeed, our sect’s tradition is to use the skull as the Unmelting Bone so that even if your limbs are severed in battle, the Unmelting Bone remains, allowing regrowth afterward... Those with average talent or seeking shortcuts might choose small bones from the hands or feet. This certainly makes breakthroughs easier, but if severed, they will lose the Unmelting Bone, and half of the Grandmaster’s most crucial ability is wasted. Starting anew to forge and condense new Unmelting Bones is time-consuming and laborious, delaying cultivation."

Lu Chenzhou: "Understood."

If his skull were severed, he would be dead, whether there was an Unmelting Bone or not wouldn’t matter.

Lin Xia said: "According to the latest research, certain powers in the Unmelting Bone might be hereditary, affecting the root bone aptitude of descendants. Thus, the probability of mid-to-upper root bone among the offspring of Grandmaster experts is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people. If both parents are Grandmasters, as long as they aren’t too unlucky, their offspring generally start with intermediate root bone."

Lu Chenzhou realized: "No wonder the progeny of notable families have such high chances of genius emergence, they favor marrying among themselves."

Lin Xia laughed: "Have you met any suitable girls outside, junior brother? At least find a Grandmaster partner in the future."

Lu Chenzhou: "..."

His senior sister’s map of Yan Country was indeed quite extensive.

He said: "Too busy with cultivation to bother... Let’s discuss it later."

Lin Xia nodded: "No rush, but if you wish to leave offspring, preferably do so before reaching Absolute Peak?"

Lu Chenzhou: "Why do you say this?"

Lin Xia pondered for a moment, then said:

"After Breakthrough Seven, the blood and marrow change, shedding the mortal body and becoming akin to Heavenly People. It becomes difficult to produce offspring with ordinary humans."

"Even the Heavenly King can’t do it?"

"To Breakthrough Seven, the Heavenly King is still a very strong mortal, but reproductive isolation already exists."

"What about Breakthrough Seven pairing with Breakthrough Seven?"

"That’s possible, trying multiple times will eventually yield results... However, they’re hard to find. How many Breakthrough Seven experts does Da Xia have? Only two female ones."

"Washing Elephant Sacred Nun and Yaochi Immortal..."

"Yes, one is a monk, the other is an immortal from above..."

"Thanks, senior sister, I’ve learned a lot."

His senior sister also mentioned that the recently rising star, the female Anubis [Wajit],is suspected to be the offspring of the Sky King and the Sun Queen.

Thus, despite being in her twenties, she has already reached the Break Second Shackles End Realm.

He was still far from Absolute Peak, he would consider these matters later.

The path of Martial Arts is long, requiring unwavering focus.

Time passed.

Wang Xian roared like a grieving tiger, enduring immense pain.

Lu Chenzhou could hear the sounds of countless bones shattering within his senior brother’s body.

It was as if someone was breaking and then reforging bones repeatedly.

The pain this would cause is imaginable.

At this moment, his understanding of Breakthrough Fourth became increasingly clear.

Soon after, the sound of shattering bones subsided, Lin Xia spoke:

"Next comes the heart demon, which is also the most difficult trial before becoming a Grandmaster."

"Is the Grandmaster’s heart demon different from before?"

"Almost all negative emotions you can think of will simultaneously descend, hence the high requirements for Martial Arts Will and spiritual power."

"Senior sister, do you have any cultivation Heart Sutra? It can bolster spiritual power and progresses quickly in the early stages."

"I’ve recently been researching Buddhist texts, I have some basics, I might give it a try... Oh, Wang Xian has succeeded."

As she spoke, a brand new Grandmaster aura surged forth like rolling thunder, overwhelming the surroundings.

Wang Xian’s eyes remained tightly closed, with shadows of auspicious clouds faintly appearing around him, a reclined tiger amidst the clouds, looking languid.

An invisible aura descended, causing boundless winds and phenomena in the practice room.

"Manifested aura! This is the power of external phenomena, also the Grandmaster’s aura. Within this aura, I am invincible."

Lu Chenzhou felt envious in his heart.

Wang Xian stood up, shaking off the blood scabs on his body, revealing his thin and pale face.

This breakthrough took a considerable toll, making him look like skin and bones.

He took the prepared Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and various Great Medicines, slowly recovering.

"Congratulations, senior brother, for ascending to Grandmaster, henceforth living for three hundred years!"

Three hundred years, to ordinary people, is akin to being immortal.

Lin Xia smiled: "Excellent, now only junior brother is left."

Wang Xian said: "With junior brother’s talent, he will surely become a Grandmaster by thirty-five, not like me, almost forty."

Lin Xia: "No worries, after a while, school’s and Martial Arts Department’s Grandmaster congratulatory gifts should arrive. There should be some longevity medicines to help you regain some peak condition."

The birth of a Grandmaster is a significant event for the country.

Many forces would take this opportunity to send congratulations and establish good relations with the Grandmaster.

In the olden days, whenever a Land Immortal was born, sects would hold a grand "Immortal Ascension Ceremony."

In the New Da Xia, during peacetime, there were also Grandmaster ceremonies, but due to the war, they have been canceled.

Wang Xian asked, "Junior brother, how is your Fist Theory progressing?"

Lu Chenzhou: "Still in the Fifth Realm, but I should be close to the Sixth Realm. My ’Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist’ has reached Great Success."

Lin Xia looked surprised: "Great Success? You’ve only practiced for over a year, right?"

Wang Xian laughed: "This is junior brother, you’ll get used to it."

Lin Xia exclaimed: "Goodness, even Superior True Technique poses no difficulty for you."

Back then, she endured great hardship practicing this cultivation technique, struggling for several years.

Once Wang Xian’s realm stabilized, the news of his ascension rapidly spread.

In no time, Dragon City Martial Arts University was booming with celebrations, with the Martial Arts Department also sending special envoys.

Each day, renowned Grandmasters found time amidst their busy schedules to come and congratulate Wang Xian.

Lin Xia returned to her work at the police station, leaving Lu Chenzhou to assist his brother in welcoming guests and managing affairs.

In their sect, mutual assistance was common.

In recent days, Wang Xian’s smile was brighter than ever before.

A special guest arrived today.

With white hair and an aura of a Grandmaster, it was Li Ao.

Last year, he had ascended to Grandmaster, guarding Taihang Mountain, making a name for himself after slaying two Demon Kings.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou, Li Ao recalled when he first met this young man.

Time flies, and now this youth’s reputation even surpasses his own, with his power rapidly catching up.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the Dragon King’s foresight, recognizing Lu Chenzhou’s potential for Absolute Peak early on.

...

On this day.

Having finished with his brother’s affairs, Lu Chenzhou was ready to catch a ride back.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked toward the ground.

His perception was sharp like a tiger’s paw, feeling a slight tremor.

"An earthquake?"

Su City is not Shu, earthquakes are rare.

Just as he was contemplating, a call came in, it was Bai Miaomiao.

"Brother Lu? Are you in Dali City?"

"No, what’s up?"

"Don’t come temporarily, Dali City is gone... or rather, the Hengduan Mountain Region is entirely occupied."

"What happened?!"

"Not long ago, countless Demon Ghosts rushed out from all confluence points of Hengduan Mountain, breaking through military defenses. The military was forced to use super nuclear weapons for bombardment. I could see the fire from Dali City... Specific details are unclear. The military has already abandoned Dali City and relocated entirely to the primary base city Spring City."

Suddenly, the phone signal started to fluctuate, until eventually it was lost.

Lu Chenzhou sensed something, looking toward the sky.

Streams of meteors burned in the atmosphere... they were falling satellites.

Wang Xian also sensed the disturbance, stepping out, gazing skyward with a solemn expression.

Dimly, terrifying figures of immense stature stood in space, overlooking the mortal world like Demon Gods.

"Absolute Peak power battling in the exosphere, is the Forbidden Zone aiming to cripple human technological infrastructure and facilities?"

Lu Chenzhou felt a chill in his heart.

The war had worsened again.

Suffering from human technological suppression earlier, the Forbidden Zone had gotten smarter.

Of course, he believed Absolute Peak experts must have countermeasures. Let’s wait and see how this bout of contest unfolds.

On this day, all over the world, nations of all sizes, and countless people looked to outer space.

Many worried, if satellite systems were destroyed, human technology would be severely affected.

Even communication would become difficult.

On the internet, hyperbolic messaging by certain individuals spread panic, anxiety, and apocalyptic dread.

The earth-shattering battle came swiftly and went swiftly.

As the tremors faded, Lu Chenzhou checked the internet, and there were no official announcements yet.

...

Scenic Erhai, now murky and tainted.

Numerous human-headed fish-bodied demons floated on the lake surface, their blood dyeing the waters, demon energy surging.

Dali City lay in ruins.

Snow Domain Demon densely flocked across the sky like vultures, howling cold winds and drifting snow.

Within the city, frozen bodies and warriors pierced by ice pillars stood still.

Wrecked armored vehicles, craters, hot weapons... countless insect-type demons prowled the city, searching for signs of life.

The Banshee Queen landed on the roof of the central military command, her gaze icy.

A Third Realm Snow Demon flew over:

"Great King, the Divine Son was not found."

"He’s not in Dali City, he went to Jiangnan, damn it, he narrowly escaped."

Clouds of smoke billowing, a black-cloaked figure solidified, it was Miao Xiaofeng, she grinned malevolently:

"This human world is close to annihilation, he can evade for a while but not forever."

...

Hengduan Mountain.

From a satellite view, a shocking scene unfolds.

Mirage-like mountain shadows continuously overlap in Hengduan Mountain, resembling a long snake.

As one of Earth’s youngest geological movement zones, earthquakes have always been frequent.

Currently, mountain shadows converge into Hengduan Mountain, seemingly initiating a new round of mountain-building!

From space, shining spots can be seen across the continent.

These are the Battle Realm, Heavenly Dragon Ancient Palace, the Nordic Dream Court, as well as Water Mansion, Fire Mansion, Heaven Palace, Earth Palace...

The relics ignite like array matrices.

Above them, more than twenty Absolute Peak shadows stretch across the heavens and earth.

Surrounding them, countless Demon Venerable corpses float, their posthumous influence still lingering, demon energy overwhelming!

Atop the highest golden tower, the Eternal Immortal raised his eyes toward the scarlet Divine Dragon.

"Let’s begin."
