Chapter 259: Chapter 216: Arrival (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Above the Golden Desert.

Three suns hung across the sky, the scorching heat seeming to melt the gravel into glass.

Fang Xing’s figure appeared out of thin air, his face masked.

As he expanded his Martial Arts Golden Core Domain, he immediately detected an enemy a mile away, a flash of gold indicating they also wielded a Golden Core Domain.

The forces of both domains entangled and nullified each other, causing the void of the desert to seem somewhat distorted.

"Hmph, just for a virtual competition, you have to hide your head and show your tail," grumbled the competitor opposite Fang Xing, a burly man draped in a tiger skin cloak that made him look imposing and extraordinary.

"Hehe... you wouldn’t understand, surfing the net is all about enjoying the recklessness that anonymity provides, isn’t it?"

Fang Xing laughed out loud, closing the distance in an instant, and with fingers spread wide, he pressed down with his palm.

Of course, this wasn’t the ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm,’ but after using it twice, he had gained an epiphany and now had many insights into palm martial arts.

It was the perfect opportunity to test his technique on an opponent!

With one palm strike, the sky dome itself seemed to topple, pressing down overwhelmingly.

"Damn it!"

The tiger-skinned man was pummeled into the desert sands, spitting out a mouthful of sand, "Such a powerful S-tier palm technique, how come I’ve never heard of it? Is it the latest martial arts technique?"

"No, it’s my self-created ’Sky-covering Hand’!"

Fang Xing clarified with a sentence, flicking his fingers.

The sands from all directions instantly converged into the center, forming a golden divine mountain, pinning the tiger-skinned man beneath.

"This is the ’Five-Finger Mountain’!"

The tiger-skinned man was immediately crushed under the mountain, reminiscent of a certain monkey, yet he laughed heartily, "Good... good move, Five-Finger Mountain! Old Zhan is impressed. I am Zhan Liehu from ’Fierce Tiger Star.’ I thought I was fairly good among Martial Arts Golden Core ranks, but this has truly been an eye-opener... buddy, can we exchange contact information?"

Having been defeated, he took it quite well.

"The Jianghu is perilous; I never leave my name behind..."

Fang Xing waved his hand dismissively and upon receiving a virtual transmission, immediately dissolved into a glimmer and faded away.

"Damn it! What a show-off, may lightning strike all pretenders!"

Zhan Liehu cursed under his breath, then fell into contemplation, "Do you think I’m a fool? With such a powerful palm technique, it must be related to the ’Tathagata Divine Palm’ of Blue Star University... an excellent graduate of Blue Star University perhaps? Sigh... the gap between individuals is truly greater than between dogs..."

...

Blue Sea Star, villa basement.

"Indeed... although the injuries suffered in the virtual space are fake, the Martial Arts experience is real."

"After this wave of the martial arts tournament, Federation Martial Arts will surely experience a major development..."

"If in the future, Martial Saints and Martial Gods can act freely in the virtual space, perhaps even realms above Martial God will become accessible..."

Fang Xing muttered to himself.

Since ancient times, it had always been the hardest for the pioneers.

Especially at the pinnacle of Martial Arts! For those Martial Artists who had reached the summit, no one knew whether the next step would lead to ascension or plunge them into the Abyss, shattering into pieces!

But with a virtual space, the margin for error was greatly increased, allowing for many more directions to be explored.

His gaze shifted to the attribute bar:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 29]

[Profession: Immortal Martial Artist]

[Sixth Realm: Golden Core (84/84)]

[Dragon Tiger Stance: 800/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Star Martial Four Extremes: 556/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power: 669/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 100/400 (Master)]

[Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual: 1/400 (Master)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm: 34/100 (Beginner)]

[Cross Breathing Method: 179/200 (Master)]

[Gate of All Heavens (Charging)]

...

"Regardless of the Sky-covering Hand or Five-Finger Mountain, are they both just ’Residual Moves’ that should be integrated into the ’Star Martial Four Extremes’?"

"Besides, my Golden Core is already Perfect. I could break through the Vajra Realm at any moment, perhaps after the great tournament... the organizers of this martial contest are rather stingy, defeating a Golden Core and still not meeting the standards for Sha Qi Crystal Stone... There are so many talents in the universe."

Every major Gang Meridian within Fang Xing’s body had been penetrated by the Twelve Gang Meridians. Just a slight movement, and he could feel the Twelve Gang Meridians absorbing Cosmic Energy, with efficiency tens of times greater than before!

"With this level of Cultivation, who among Martial Arts Golden Core ranks could be my opponent?"

He displayed a hint of a smile, then turned his attention to ’Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power.’

"This Body Refining Divine Power cannot be neglected either. If I can cultivate it to Grandmaster Perfect, then after entering the Vajra Realm, directly reaching Golden Core Seven Revolutions and achieving Golden Body Great Success should be straightforward..."

"With a little more Cultivation, given my ’Purple Pattern Longevity Golden Core’ foundation, achieving Great Vajra Realm will be as easy as flipping my hand!"

Fang Xing glanced at the Communication Device and noticed that the next match was in thirteen days, and he decided to undergo closed-door cultivation for a while.

His cultivation in Martial Arts Golden Core had reached its peak, so he could continue to explore the secrets of the Evil God World.

...

Quack quack!

Several crows landed on the pitch-black, leafless branches, issuing harsh, unpleasant screeches.

A carriage slowly passed by on the road.

Sofia lowered the curtains, somewhat emotional about the long journey, "Are we finally about to arrive... at the headquarters of the Radiant Church Court—Holy Mountain?"

Along the way, she had gone through several duchies and kingdoms and encountered unimaginable dangers.

If not for the protection and funding provided by the Tulip Duke, and of course, most importantly, the protection of Wandering Knight Wal, she might have died on the road.

What was more critical was that the mysterious Mr. Starr had not followed them all the way, complaining that they were traveling too slowly.

Clatter! Clatter!

Just then, a squad of cavalry suddenly appeared ahead.

This squad of cavalry all wore white armor and rode tall white horses, each one looking like a knight who had stepped out of the light.

"It’s the Church’s knight order."

Sofia’s eyes lit up as she watched them approach.

The knight order was a direct force of the Radiant Church Court, also known as the Radiant Knights, Sacred Knights, and so on. It was said that the selection of each knight was extremely strict, so those who passed were exceptionally handsome, adhered firmly to the knightly virtues, and were the most perfect gentlemen.

They were the dream lovers of countless noble girls.

"Beneath Holy Mountain, all who come must halt."

A golden-haired knight came to the front of the caravan, then suddenly stopped, looking at Wal: "You are... Captain Wal? No! The Exile—Wal?"

Wal looked at the man, a wry smile appearing on his face: "Andrew... you’ve grown up quite a bit."

"You sinner, the cardinals have not yet judged your crimes, and by the Lord’s grace alone, you were spared, yet you dare to return to Holy Mountain?"

Andrew’s face was filled with anger, and even the knights behind him seemed to bristle with hostility.

"I am merely escorting the Holy Daughter of the Tulip Duke... I will not set foot upon Holy Mountain or step into ’Land of Bright’ at the foot of the mountain!"

Wal solemnly promised and waved his hand to let the caravan continue on its way, and a knight came forward to deliver a wax-sealed document.

Looking at the wax seal marked with the tulips’ likeness, Andrew nodded, "Honorable Holy Daughter, our squad will escort you for the remainder of the journey. In the name of Radiance, we shall guard your safety."

Sofia looked at Wal with a mix of anxiety and pleading.

She really didn’t want to go to the Radiant Church Court alone.

But Wal just stood under the old tree, waving his hand.

Eventually, the carriage and the squad of knights gradually moved away.

Wal watched this scene, the wry smile on his face growing deeper. Just as he was about to find a tavern to have a good drink, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Aren’t you worried about Sofia? Clearly... it seems the Holy Daughter has fallen in love with you during the journey."

"Starr!"

Wal turned around and saw Fang Xing, then furrowed his brow, "The Holy Daughter must maintain purity, you foreigner, don’t speak such words under Holy Mountain, otherwise, you risk being attacked..."

"Well then..."

Fang Xing pursed his lips, "Do you have any way to let me meet that Black-robed Archbishop in charge of the Secret Scriptures?"

"I am but a Wandering Knight now, what can I do?"

Wal shrugged, "Besides... the Radiant Church Court despises heretics, non-believers, and foreigners... I suggest you do not expose your foreign origin, otherwise, you might be captured by the Church Court and subjected to very horrible actions..."

"What, like burning me at the stake as with witches?"

Fang Xing was, of course, aware that burning witches was a ritual to seal spirits.

But now, if someone were to try burning him, they would only end up with a very terrifying outcome.

"Well then... it seems we’ll just have to go and drink," he shrugged nonchalantly, seemingly not too disappointed.

Wal instinctually sensed a scheme.

After all, Starr was someone who could easily subdue and seal great spirits!

Even within the Radiant Church Court, he was certainly worthy of being ’canonized.’

Nevertheless, he thought it over and felt that Fang Xing was harmless, so he said, "Why not go to the Firebrand Tavern? I know their drinks are quite good, and they have a very hot proprietress..."

"Wal... how many years have you been wandering? No matter how hot the proprietress is, she can’t resist the passage of time..."

Fang Xing’s tone carried a hint of disdain.

Meanwhile, his Spiritual Power had already spread out, marking Sofia.

At this point, the Radiant Church Court had already declined to a certain extent, and the selection of a new Holy Daughter was a very strange affair.

...

Holy Mountain.

This was the dream of most of the lower-class poor in this world.

When she first set foot on Holy Mountain, Sofia thought she would kneel and kiss the sacred soil.

But in fact, she did not.

For some unknown reason, the image of Dragon Spirit Wings sweeping over Golden City suddenly emerged in her mind.

Andrew led the way, and after passing through multiple layers of white marble gates, Sofia saw an old man.

The man was dressed in a simple linen robe with no decorations of any kind, appearing very plain. He was bald-headed with a face crisscrossed with wrinkles.

"According to the cardinals’ regulations, the new Holy Daughter’s first night must be spent in the ’Original Church’..."

The old man’s voice was hoarse.

"Yes!"

Andrew quickly bowed deeply.

After the old man left, Sofia asked softly, "That person was..."

"The servant... of His Holiness the Pope."

Andrew said with respectful tone, "...servant."
