Chapter 315: Chapter 127 Feng Jiu Demonstrates Her Divine Might

On the 18th day of the first lunar month.

On this day, the Emperor of the Northern Zhou, Feng Tianming, decreed to celebrate the great victory at Kuocang Pass and to liberate the souls of soldiers who had died guarding the pass over the years. A water and land dharma assembly was to be held on the 3rd day of the 3rd month, the legendary birthday of the Human Emperor, inviting prominent Buddhist monks to help transcend the spirits of the deceased soldiers.

Qing Yu didn’t need to think twice to know that these prominent Buddhist monks were definitely from the Esoteric Sect. Feng Tianming was still not giving up, seeking to force Mountain River Academy to hand over the Emperor Martial Art through this event.

Moreover, Qing Yu, whose Astrology Skill had made rapid progress recently, observed the stars at night and, using "Astrology Law," predicted that a great change was imminent for Northern Zhou within a certain period.

Such an unusual sign made Qing Yu first think of the water and land dharma assembly to be held in March. It was speculated that Feng Tianming might indeed break the pot to sink the ship, truly welcoming the Esoteric Sect into Northern Zhou, and publicly challenging Mountain River Academy.

Now, there were already some who deemed themselves visionary and began placing their bets.

Like the Tenth Prince who had sought out Feng Jiu—Feng Jue.

This person had been embarrassed by Feng Jiu in the Imperial Garden on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month a month ago, having been made a fool of. Now, with new support, he came to seek retribution from Feng Jiu for the lost face.

"Feng Jiu, you rely on your martial force and have repeatedly humiliated me. Today, you will pay the price," Feng Jue said with a look of pleasure on his face as he blocked Feng Jiu at the gate of Mountain River Academy and shouted rampantly.

"Tenth brother, I remember once telling you that you should respect your elder brother and not be too reckless."

The expressionless words of Feng Jiu caused a flicker of fear in Feng Jue’s heart, but after scanning the figure standing next to him with hands clasped together and eyes closed in silence, Feng Jue immediately cast aside that flicker of fear.

"Save your petty talk, you low-born, mixed-cultivator raised by a palace maid."

Feng Jue uttered words of contempt, then turned with a smile to the figure beside him and said, "Esteemed monk from the Kongmen, please teach this disrespectful mixed-cultivator a lesson. This prince will be greatly appreciative."

The Kongmen monk, who had been silently reciting scriptures, opened his half-closed eyes and smiled, "Your Highness the Tenth Prince is too polite. Even Buddha can be enraged by such defiant sinners, and I shall not hesitate to express the wrath of the Ming King to admonish him."

With that, Kong Hai’s robust muscles shimmered with a golden glow. It seemed that all those from the Esoteric Sect had cultivated the "Vajra Unconquerable," a Body Refining Martial Art.

"Master Feng Jiu, please," Kong Hai said with hands clasped together, addressing Feng Jiu.

"Monk, you address Feng Jue as ’Your Highness’ but just say my name directly. Don’t you think this shows a lack of understanding of hierarchy? I am Feng Jue’s elder brother, the Ninth Prince of the Imperial Family," Feng Jiu said coldly.

"Master Feng Jiu, since you are currently dressed in the Academy’s student attire and do not wish to present yourself as a Prince, why can’t I address you by your name?" the monk retorted.

"Your tongue is as smooth as a lotus yet you deserve to be struck."

The "Vast Righteous Qi" erupted, and Feng Jiu shouted as he launched a palm strike with the historically renowned "Long Sky Divine Palm" aimed at teaching this sweet-talking monk a lesson.

"Master Feng Jiu, even if I were to stand here and let you do as you please, it would be hard for you to cause the slightest..." the Kongmen Monk said with a light laugh, his hands still clasped together, unfazed by Feng Jiu’s overwhelming "Long Sky Divine Palm" technique.

```

"...damaged."

```

The last two words were spoken by the Kongmen Monk in a dazed manner, only subconsciously completing his sentence because the fierce and domineering palm force had already erupted.

"Crack—"

This sound was like the shattering of the "Vajra Unconquerable" golden body, yet it also resembled the noise of bones being crushed and broken under the tyrannical palm force.

The Kongmen Monk’s eyes bulged in disbelief as he was struck by the unstoppable "Long Sky Divine Palm" and sent flying through the air, tumbling and breaking a nearby large tree.

"Divine... Divine Origin Realm..."

Blood and foam kept bubbling from the Kongmen Monk’s mouth. Among the incessant flow of fresh blood were chunks of matter, the fragments of his internal organs shattered by the palm force.

Being able to shatter "Vajra Unconquerable" with a single palm and severely injure himself, the Kongmen Monk could confirm that his opponent was definitely an expert who had broken through the Innate and advanced into the Divine Origin Realm.

This was simply unbelievable. The Ninth Prince had started practicing martial arts just over a year ago. Even if he had accumulated the essence of a thousand Confucian concepts, how could he have possibly advanced his "Vast Righteous Qi" to such an extent?

Merely cultivating "Vast Righteous Qi" could not have allowed Feng Jiu to rapidly advance to Divine Origin, but do not forget that Feng Jiu was not originally cultivating "Vast Righteous Qi"; his "Vast Righteous Qi" was entirely transformed from Tribulation Power.

In the original "Black Heaven Book," which was co-created by Feng Hou and Jingtian to breakthrough Refining God, the greatest purpose of this martial art was indeed to achieve Refining God.

As soon as one cultivated the "Black Heaven Book," they would start Refining God, and therefore this martial art was also known as the "Refining God Shortcuts." If there was a Divine Origin Realm Tribulation Master transmitting Divine Origin Realm True Qi to a Tribulation Slave who was constantly using Tribulation Power and advancing to the true Divine Origin, it was not too big of an issue for the Tribulation Slave.

In the end, the "Black Heaven Book" martial art is similar to the "Absorption Technique" of absorbing others’ True Qi; both are based on the True Qi of others to leapfrog one’s martial arts rapidly. As long as the source of power is strong enough, the cultivator’s advancement speed will undoubtedly be beyond anyone’s imagination.

This is also the primary reason why Qing Yu did not particularly favor the "Absorption Technique." Using others’ True Qi as the foundation, not to mention the mental cleanliness, the potential risks alone deterred Qing Yu. There were other divine skills and ultimate techniques—why covet temporary gains and face even greater problems in the future?

Even if there were no issues right now, who knew what the future held? Therefore, it was better to remain cautious.

Back to the matter at hand, with Qing Yu’s help, as a Tribulation Slave, Feng Jiu had advanced to the Divine Origin Realm at a speed unimaginable to others. Today, he had defeated the Kongmen Monk, an extraordinary expert in the Innate Realm, in one fell swoop.

This impressive display of power was the smallest gain for Feng Jiu, who had utilised the might of others to present his own.

The main point, however, was that Feng Jiu had clearly declared his stance by siding with Mountain River Academy and had once again got a step ahead of Feng Qiwu, who was still hesitating.

Moreover, with Divine Origin Realm cultivation, his rapid progress would draw great interest from the Academy’s senior members. Compared to Feng Qiwu, who was still in the Innate Realm, Divine Origin Realm Feng Jiu would attract more lecturers to lean towards him.

Feng Jue brought people to block Feng Jiu at the entrance of Mountain River Academy, literally doing Feng Jiu a huge favor. At least now, Feng Jiu didn’t have to plan how to naturally and subtly reveal his advancement to Divine Origin Realm.

As a form of repayment, Feng Jiu decided he would properly educate Feng Jue, helping him establish the correct set of principles.

"Tenth Brother, come, let your brother educate you properly."

Feng Jiu forced himself to hide his fierce smile and slowly approached Feng Jue, who was so frightened he could hardly move.
