Chapter 582: 0369 Hualong Road, Five Thunders Hall Master Master Lu (4k seeking monthly ticket and subscription)

"Senior Ding Yuan, please have a seat."

Lu Chenzhou brought the old monk to the living room and brewed a pot of fine tea.

The old monk took a sip of tea and smiled:

"Young friend, your performance is truly stunning. With just an Initial Realm body, you can subdue End Realm opponents and face Immortal Armor head-on."

"Hahaha, it was the Grandmaster showing mercy. I’m still far behind."

"No need for humility. It seems you’ll reach the Middle Stage before the competition ends... there’s hope for entering the top hundred."

"I’ll do my best. Is there something you need from me, senior?"

"I heard you’ve achieved a small success in the Domineering Body?"

"Yes."

Lu Chenzhou pondered, this small success in the Domineering Body seems to be a big deal, even Tuo Tian Head Monk was alarmed.

Tuo Tian Head Monk calculated and sighed: "Achieving a small success in such a short time, young friend, you are indeed a genius in cross-training! As you know, I am the leader of the Vajra Group, and over the years, I have been researching ways to further optimize cross-training martial arts, especially the method of the ’Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill.’ Recently, during an exploration on the Dragon Transformation Ancient Road by the all-nations coalition, a Qi Refiner Cave Mansion was discovered in [Ancient Road Zone 3]. Preliminary investigations suggest that its owner was possibly a Heavenly King-level expert during their lifetime."

"Dragon Transformation Ancient Road?"

"Yes, young friend, you haven’t ventured there yet, have you?"

"No, I’ve heard it’s much more dangerous than the Star-Picking Tower, with extremely high physical requirements."

"Exactly, the ancient road is said to stretch for thousands of miles, with gravity becoming more terrifying the further you go. Zone 3, where you’re located, spans 2000-3000 miles, with gravity about 100-300 times that of the human world. If you hadn’t achieved a small success in the Domineering Body, I wouldn’t naturally ask you to take the risk. By the way, what’s the maximum gravity you’re training under now?"

"120 times."

"That’s sufficient. The Qi Refiner Cave Mansion is located at the 108 times gravity point. Entering isn’t much of a problem, your limit tolerance definitely exceeds 120 times."

"Senior, does this cave mansion have cultivation restrictions by any chance?"

"Indeed, only cultivators of the Mountain Realm can enter, otherwise, I would have personally gone. On the Dragon Transformation Ancient Road, you can’t use True Gang or Fighting Spirit; you can only rely on pure physical combat. Even a master of Inner Boxing, despite enduring gravity, finds it hard to utilize their full strength there.

After much search, only you and Hong Tianxiang from Da Xia are suitable. If you can gain inheritance or treasure in there, it’s all yours. All you need to do is transcribe any cultivation techniques found for Da Xia. Whether you receive inheritance or not, you’ll get a reward of 50,000 Battle Merits, with additional rewards for cultivation techniques."

"Alright, I will go and take a look."

"Thank you. Most likely, the inheritance in the cave mansion is related to physical cultivation, which should greatly benefit your cross-training cultivation. There’s no time to lose; you and Hong Tianxiang should set off now. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the Qi Refiner Cave Mansion."

...

Dragon Transformation Road.

Two towering figures arrived.

One was clad in black armor, carrying a big spear on his back.

The other was draped in a loose Daoist robe, also carrying a giant sword on his back.

"Brother Lu, congratulations, by the looks of it, you’re not far from the Middle Realm."

"Hahaha, Brother Hong, aren’t you the same?"

"Brother Lu, are you confident you’ll rank in the top hundred?"

"I am, how about you?"

"I am as well."

Both showed considerable confidence.

After their pleasantries, they looked ahead at the vast, river-like ancient road leading to the endless void.

"Brother Lu, are you sure about wearing that scale armor? Under hundredfold gravity, it’s quite heavy."

"No problem, I usually train wearing armor."

"...Then let’s go."

Secretly shocked, Hong Tianxiang realized that after Lu Brother’s small success in the Domineering Body, his own mastery in cross-training had already fallen behind.

The cave mansion was two thousand miles away, and the two traveled nonstop for three days and nights to reach their destination, thanks to their master’s leg strength. Along the way, they encountered attacks from guardians similar to those of the Star-Picking Tower, but they were only of the First and Second Realm and were easily dispatched without breaking a sweat. There were also a few small opportunities, but nothing noteworthy.

Upon arrival, Hong Tianxiang saw the distant auras soaring to the sky, all of Third Realm level, along with some Grandmaster auras.

"Quite lively, quite a few fighters have arrived."

Lu Chenzhou looked at the Martial Arts Tree.

During those three days of traveling, the proficiency of the "Ghost Tiger Domineering Body" had increased by another 1%.

It’s worth noting that after achieving a small success, it’s extremely difficult to improve the Domineering Body by even 1%.

On the other side, Hong Tianxiang also noticed changes in his body and said, "The training effect of the Dragon Transformation Ancient Road on cross-training is indeed better, but it’s not very safe... However, given the current human technology, the Gravity Room can only go up to 200 times. If it ever exceeds 200 times in the future, I’ll have to come to Dragon Transformation Road to train. Brother Lu, care to join?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded: "We’ll go together so that we can look out for one another."

On Dragon Transformation Road, Western fighters held a dominant advantage.

Soon, the two arrived before an ancient grand hall suspended in the void.

The hall stood a hundred feet tall, with four purple divine dragons carved onto its eaves.

Tuo Tian Head Monk stood to the side, hands together in prayer.

Across from him stood a group of iron-tower-like young fighters with unfriendly faces.

The leader was a six-foot-tall bearded black man.

He was the Thunder Ghost King, Carlos, a Grandmaster-level fighter skilled in the "Thunderclap Battle Manual," with considerable strength.

"Hehehe, great monk, Da Xia only has two representatives?"

"This inheritance is for those with destiny, it’s not about having more people."

"Although Lu and Hong are top martial arts geniuses, their physical strength still falls far short compared to those behind me... Not likely to succeed."

The eight fighters he led were all of the End Realm and End Realm Cultivation, easily enduring gravity over 150 times.

The old monk said nothing and gestured for Lu Chenzhou and Hong Tianxiang to come over. He transmitted, "Remember! If there is danger upon entering the grand hall, forsake the inheritance and retreat through the Heavenly Dragon Order promptly. You are more valuable than anything inside. Thunder Ghost King knows well; as long as you voluntarily forfeit, these people won’t do anything to you. There’s no need to fight to the death over the inheritance trial... Otherwise, the Heavenly Kings of Da Xia will certainly demand an explanation."
