Chapter 548: 0353 Mystic Tiger advances, Realm King’s Dao (4k)_2

"A great teacher produces excellent disciples. Your three true inheritors have all passed the test. Next comes the second stage, the practical examination."

"Practical is no problem either. Take it easy, don’t let my disciples get hurt and delay their cultivation."

"Don’t worry. Your precious disciple succeeded in proving his path while breaking through the second shackle, formally touching upon the realm of Dao."

"What? Has Chenzhou broken through with the Sinking Boat Boxing theory? That’s impossible. He’s only been practicing the Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist for over a month. There’s no way he could master it so quickly."

Old Wang initially thought that Lu Chenzhou should attain the Sixth Realm after breaking through the third shackle, which was already very fast!

"There’s no doubt about it. That feeling just now must be the success of proving Dao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist even a trace of my dominating aura."

"The last person to prove his path at the Breakthrough Second Realm was the Dragon King, right?"

"Yes, the last person to comprehend the embryonic form of the Law Domain at Breakthrough Second was also the Dragon King."

"These two people don’t follow the basic rules at all... One has been exceptional since childhood, the other’s potential is boundless."

The two Heavenly Kings chatted as they gradually walked away.

...

Taihu.

Ye Gao smiled as he looked at the good news brought by Ye Chen.

"Not bad, at the end realm of martial arts... Not far from breaking the second shackle."

A figure in black silently appeared, revealing gold-rimmed glasses. It was Doctor Chen.

"Any new information about Lu Chenzhou?"

"This person is temporarily residing in Yun Meng City."

"Yun Meng City? Continue to monitor for me, and your benefits will be substantial... That East Mountain King is truly useless, as expected, he failed."

"How could an ordinary third realm with no potential possibly kill Lu Chenzhou?"

"By the way, who is the Garrison Commander of Yun Meng City?"

"The martial arts genius of the Li Family from Yueyang City, Li Minghuang!"

...

Yu Hang Base City, one of the four satellite cities of Hang City.

The guardian of this place is the genius Grandmaster of the Qin Family from Jiangnan, Qin Xiao.

The Qin Family is a prominent family in Jiangnan. The current family head, Qin Hui, is a Great Grandmaster renowned throughout the region.

On this day, Qin Xiao and his father Qin Hui were playing chess in the courtyard.

A figure arrived quietly. He raised his head, looking fierce. It was the notorious wilderness bandit in Jiangnan of recent times - the River Flipping King.

"Godfather, big brother... Zhang Dongshan is dead."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao frowned slightly and asked:

"What happened?"

"Zhang Dongshan went to raid Lu Chenzhou but was killed in return."

"Idiot! Didn’t he know his own strength? How dare he confront Lu Chenzhou!"

"He was probably commissioned by the Ancient Divine Church."

"Did Zhang Dongshan not know about your relationship with our Qin Family?"

"He didn’t know. I never told him."

"That’s good then. Be cautious in your actions; it’s still far from the time to act during the early days of the Great Dark Night Era."

"Yes, big brother, this is my harvest in the wilderness during this period... I hope you and our ancestor will accept it."

"Not bad. What is your current strength?"

"At the end realm of the Breakthrough Third Realm."

"Become a Grandmaster soon, and follow us to accomplish great tasks. Don’t let my father’s training of you go to waste."

After the River Flipping King left, Qin Xiao asked:

"Father, did Heavenly King Wei and the others really discover a small world that can leave the human world?"

Qin Hui, aged and feeble, his eyes slightly lowered, said indifferently:

"They are currently attempting to repair the teleportation array. Once we accumulate enough resources and treasures, we will leave this world that is on the brink of destruction."

"But, are there truly safe places in the Three Thousand Worlds?"

"I don’t know, but in other places, we still have a chance to live longer... Here, on the day the great curtain shatters, it will be the moment of extinction."

"Will the plan to create a new sky definitely fail?"

"It’s useless. Only a god can fight against a god... Even if this comprehensive plan goes perfectly, it will only produce a few Four Emperor level beings. How can they resist the Evil Gods? What gives President Wan and those at the absolute peak the right to decide for us? What qualifies them to seal us here and make us die with this world?"

...

Yun Meng Base City.

Li Family residence.

A handsome, imposing young Grandmaster had just finished his stance training.

He looked in a certain direction within the city and muttered to himself: "What is Lu Chenzhou doing in Yun Meng Base City?"

The Li Family was originally just an ordinary martial arts family in Yueyang City.

But because of his presence, it had now become a Grandmaster family, renowned and powerful in the area.

After the Catastrophe Era, he accepted the appointment from above, leading the Li Family to guard Yun Meng Base City, pioneer Yun Meng Lake, and protect the local people.

Li Minghuang became a Grandmaster at the age of forty, a talent of the ranking comparable to the blazing sun of All Nations.

His master is Wei Jing, the Vice Principal of Nanshan Martial Arts University, an old Heavenly King!

It can be said that in the Jiangnan region, among the same generation, there are less than two people who can be comparable to him in status.

"Hope he doesn’t cause any trouble, otherwise..."

Li Minghuang just wanted to complete that task with his master and find a place to survive.

With his qualifications, if he had enough resources, he had hopes of stepping into the Heavenly Realm and living freely.

But staying in the human world, it isn’t certain that he can survive a hundred more years.

...

Yun Meng Marsh, vast and misty.

In a certain water area, at the bottom of the lake, there was a vortex like a black hole.

Passing through the vortex, it was another world, the Black Water Small World, a world opened by a Ninth Step Great Power from the Great Wilderness.

The sky shattered, the earth was filled with cracks, and lava erupted; the small world was on the verge of extinction.

In the center of the small world, there was a dilapidated, desolate palace. Inscribed in Demon Race script was [Black Water Palace].

A colossal creature with a human head and snake body, covered in ferocious scale armor, with ten arms and a body of a hundred zhang length, coiled on the throne.

Inside the hall, terrifying auras of demons intertwined, like hell.

A white man dressed in a blood robe strolled in and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Black Cover King."

The Snake Demon opened its eyes and sneered: "Blood Heavenly Dog, it’s been a while, how come you only have the cultivation level of a mere Demon King?"

The Blood Heavenly Dog didn’t care about the insult and laughed: "Just a temporary setback. I come to you with a grand opportunity to offer."

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The Yun Meng Lake continued to expand, and Yun Meng City overlooked it like a giant, watching the water part from both sides.

Canghai Sangtian, nothing more than this.

In a hotel within the city, Lu Chenzhou had a peaceful period.

During this time, although demons attacked the city, they were all dealt with by the Garrison Commander Li Minghuang.

It was said that a few days ago, a Demon King was defeated by Grandmaster Li and fled in panic.

Grandmaster Li declared that as long as he was there, Yun Meng City would be impregnable, welcoming martial artists from all walks of Da Xia to settle and pioneer.

The Great Marsh is rich in heavenly materials and earthly treasures, rare birds, and mutant beasts. The urban circle around Yun Meng Lake will undoubtedly become the economic center of Jiangnan in the future!

"Yun Meng Lake, a good place."

Lu Chenzhou took out a treasure shaped like a baby’s arm, exclaiming in wonder.

It was a Yellow Grade Treasure [Baby Lotus], which, after consumption, could generate a wisp of [Innate Wood Lotus Qi] and had notable healing effects.

He found this while practicing fist techniques in Yun Meng Lake at a demon-infested area. It was also his first time finding heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the human world.

The lotus was crisp and sweet. After consuming it, a wisp of milky white breath surged into his Qi Sea, and Lu Chenzhou quickly activated the "Five Elements Mixed Qi Technique" to enhance the Green Lotus Treasure Qi.

In the Inner Scenery Land, the Lake of Life connected with the Green Lotus, exuding vigorous life force.

[Five Elements Mixed Qi Technique: Second Layer (10%)]

"After the second layer, a Yellow Grade Treasure Qi can only improve proficiency by 5%."

According to the Cauldron Sword, if the Mixed Qi Technique was cultivated to the third layer, the power of the five elements within him could transform again, reaching the quasi-earth grade treasure qi level.

Only upon reaching the fourth layer could it entirely advance to the Earth Grade!

There was no solution. The gap between Yellow and Earth Grade treasures was immense.

In the War Merit Store, the former two cost thousands to tens of thousands of battle merits, while Earth Grade treasures were close to a million!

In the new era, the official classification of treasures according to the Great Wilderness was adopted by Da Xia. Yellow and Profound Grade treasures are called [Mountain Treasures], used by Mountain Realm cultivators; Earth and Sky Grade treasures are [Sea Treasures], corresponding to the Sea Realm. Top-tier Sea Treasures, also known as Heavenly Grade treasures, are also highly useful to Heavenly Realm experts. Above Sea Treasures, there are [Heavenly Dao Treasures].

In the Great Wilderness, Mountain Treasures are relatively common, while Sea Treasures are very rare.

As for Heavenly Dao Treasures, each emergence would alarm several sects’ Heavenly Realm patriarchs, leading to bloodshed in the area.
