Chapter 258: Chapter 215: Gang Meridian (Additional release, subscribe please)_2

Chu Kuangtu was rather unremarkable in appearance: just a tall old man with white eyebrows, even lacking the sharp aura characteristic of Sword Cultivators.

"Are we truly calling a cease-fire?"

Kong Fengge asked somewhat reluctantly.

"What choice do we have if we do not cease fire?"

Chu Kuangtu sneered. "How many of our inner door Core Formation Sword Cultivators are even left alive? Besides, there’s an unfamiliar Great True Monarch lurking outside, and neither Wanxiang old ghost nor I wish to be played for fools. We can only call a truce for now, each returning to our own Sect, and relying on the Sect’s grand formation for defense. With me here, even a Great True Monarch would struggle to do anything!"

As he spoke, Chu Kuangtu exuded an aura of unyielding boldness.

In the Cultivation World, those at the Nascent Soul stage were known as True Monarchs, and those who had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul were deemed ’Great True Monarchs’!

That was because a Great True Monarch of the late Nascent Soul stage often possessed astonishing divine skills and mana, capable of eliminating other Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

"Ss... A Great True Monarch?"

Sect Master Kong was shocked. "There’s an unfamiliar Great True Monarch within the Da Jing Cultivation World? Impossible!"

A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s life journey would have inevitably intersected with various powers; they couldn’t just appear out of thin air.

Moreover... there were likely no late stage Nascent Soul Cultivators in the entire Da Jing Cultivation World at all.

Otherwise, Chu Kuangtu, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, wouldn’t have the title of the first Nascent Soul of the Righteous Path.

A Great True Monarch could potentially unify both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, dominating the vast Great Wilderness.

"Even if not a Great True Monarch, at least a powerful mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator... That Wanxiang Sect girl who wields the ’Green Sun Demon Lamp,’ even if overpowered by an early stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, could have retreated intact. But this time, she was completely obliterated, and the old Wanxiang ghost was hopping mad, heh heh..."

Chu Kuangtu sneered several times, his expression turning serious. "If this hidden True Monarch is only at mid-stage Nascent Soul, then it may well be that some old ghosts from the Da Jing Cultivation World are stirring the waters. But if it’s a late-stage Nascent Soul... then it’s quite possible they come from the Outer Realm!"

"The Outer Realm? It seems that this Cultivation World is indeed headed for chaos." Kong Fengge sighed, rallying his spirits. "So, how are we to explain this to both the Righteous and Demonic Paths?"

"Who told you we are going to sign a peace treaty?"

Chu Kuangtu glared. "The battle must still go on, but we simply maintain an understanding, not letting battles between those above Core Formation happen again... As for territories, Zheng Country will belong entirely to us, and similarly with the Spirit Veins of the Five Elements Sect and Heavenly Waterfall Sect... In the future, we and the Wanxiang Sect will need to be neighbors on the land of the Five Sects and Ten Countries."

In this way, the land of the Five Sects and Ten Countries would be essentially split in half.

Kong Fengge nodded slowly, feeling that the suggestion was not unacceptable.

Not signing a formal contract, merely an unspoken one, could deflect pressure coming from the Da Jing Cultivation World.

But...

’A mysterious Cultivator, suspected to be a Great True Monarch, frightening the Supreme Elders of both Righteous and Demonic paths into retreating behind their Sect’s grand formation... It’s rather embarrassing to say out loud...’

’However, we Sword Cultivators, though unbending, are no fools; this is a move out of helplessness...’

"Hmm? Have you something more to say?" Chu Kuangtu suddenly turned towards Kong Fengge.

"That’s right. In this great battle, a young talent emerged from our Sect named Fang Xing, who can slay Fake Core and even early-stage Core Formation Cultivators while only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and has even mastered the Sword Intent technique..."

Kong Fengge asked eagerly, "Would the ancestor be interested in taking on a disciple?"

"Fang Xing? Foundation Establishment, Sword Intent?"

Chu Kuangtu shook his head. "Without even thinking, I know this person must also have ways like an Outer Elixir to enhance their mana. Otherwise, no matter how advanced their Sword Dao Realm, without enough mana, it’s useless... The child is indeed a Nascent Soul Seed, but let’s wait and see. I still have many years to live; there’s no need to be in such a rush to cultivate the next generation of Nascent Soul. Let him reach Core Formation, then bring him to me... After all, only with an Immortal Golden Core is there a greater certainty of achieving Nascent Soul..."

"I will heed the command of the Supreme Elder."

Kong Fengge bowed, finding the words of the Supreme Elder to be sound.

The step of Core Formation has halted countless talents at the Foundation Establishment stage.

To truly gain the attention of the Sect, the quality of one’s Core Formation was crucial. The saying goes, ’a Golden Core without regrets;’ there have been many Sword Cultivators showing talent during the Foundation Establishment stage, but who encountered interference during Core Formation, ultimately failing and condensing a Fake Core.

’To be noticed by the Supreme Elder, not to mention an Immortal Golden Core, at the very least, one would need to be at the Half-step Golden Core, right?’

Kong Fengge’s eyes were deep with thought...

...

Blue Star.

Blue Sea District, Villa No. 69.

The basement.

Fang Xing, the original being, sat cross-legged, looking at the "Qiantian Qinggang" in front of him.

"These twelve strands of Qiantian Qinggang Qi, if I were to work like an ox or horse, it might take decades in the research group to get my hands on them..."

"If you truly want top-notch resources, you can’t stay safe in an ivory tower, you must go out and risk your life!"

"Looking at it this way, the ’Star Martial Arts Competition’ hosted by ’Federation Holographic Universe Company’ is practically a living bodhisattva... But it must be the Federation itself that is capable of offering such top-tier resources, as such an event plays an active role in the advancement of Martial Arts."

Martial Arts is all about continuous battle.

But battle is accompanied by danger, and you could die at any moment.

The emergence of holographic technology was a significant breakthrough.

Its impact on Martial Arts was simply unimaginable!

"This time they’re spending so much, probably the Martial Saints and Martial Gods are behind it... Are they aiming to broaden the prospects of Martial Arts while also making an unconditional contribution to the younger generation of Martial Artists?"

"Moreover, collecting more data can also prepare for the creation of Vajra, Martial Saint, and Martial God Realms in the virtual universe... It’s a win-win!"

The base number of Federation Martial Artists is too vast.

Even if Martial Gods are just at the Ninth Realm and only reach the Tenth Realm with Mecha, they’re still far from the Federation’s absolute peak at the Eleventh Realm. But their sheer number is overwhelming!

The number of Martial Artists outweighs Superpower Users, Mecha Masters, and Mind Masters combined, truly making it the ’profession of the commoners’!

Therefore, the number of high-ranking Professionals is also the largest, and even little more than a trickle of resources coming out could excite the middle and lower-tier Martial Arts Professionals for quite some time.

"However, for now, the focus should remain on cultivation."

Around Fang Xing, vital energy surged, and a glow emerged, making his body almost translucent.

Vaguely, the seventy-two Evil Acupoints were scattered like stars across the sky, all shimmering with a multicolored luster.

"The Five Elements Evil Qi matched with the Qiantian Qinggang... In the Cultivation World, it’s known as ’Qiankun Five Elements’, a perfect match of the highest order. The grandeur of heaven and earth is all contained within!"

Fang Xing took a deep breath.

A stream of air lifted up a strand of ’Qiantian Qinggang’, which he swallowed into his body.

In an instant, a silvery white light, resembling an earthworm, lit up within Fang Xing’s body, shining forth from one Evil Acupoint and threading towards another.

What followed was an intense pain like scraping bone and extracting marrow!

Fang Xing’s expression remained unchanged as he allowed the new Gang Meridian to grow, linking one Acupoint to another.

Only after piercing through six major Evil Acupoints did this ’Gang Meridian’ on his arm stabilize, making the flow of his Golden Core Power feel smoother.

"Six major Evil Acupoints can form one Gang Meridian... a total of twelve Gang Meridians!"

"This concept bears some similarity to the ’Twelve Main Meridians’ of Ancient Martial... Later, with technological progress, it was proven that there are no such Acupoints and Meridians within the human body..."

"Originally there weren’t, but with the use of Cosmic Energy, it’s possible to create actual ’Meridians’ and ’Acupoints’ inside the body... transforming oneself into a semi-energy being, significantly increasing lifespan, and enabling adaptation to various extreme environments."

Fang Xing felt that at present, he should be capable of surviving in outer space just with his physical body.

In other words, only after reaching the Martial Arts Golden Core could one truly be called a ’space human’!

It was almost as if his race was different from ordinary humans.

"This feeling is really quite unique... Outer Realm Martial Artists rely on Domain Power, and they should also be able to survive briefly in space, but Domain Power always runs out..."

"Martial Arts Golden Core is different, after cultivating Gang Meridians, one can directly absorb energy like cosmic rays, completely without food or drink..."

"Once I fully refine the twelve Gang Meridians, I will be at the Perfect Golden Core, ready to break through to the Vajra Realm..."

"Perhaps I should wait, after all, I wouldn’t be able to participate in the competition at the Vajra Realm..."
