God of War!
Thus, a martial god was born among mortals.
Between heaven and earth, spiritual mist gathered, and spiritual energy fell like raindrops, irrigating this land that had experienced an earth-shattering battle.
All martial artists and living beings who were immersed in it felt their bodies become much lighter, their cultivation level increased involuntarily, and even their lifespan increased considerably.
At this moment, many people realized what was going on and understood what was happening.
"Legend has it that when a celestial martial saint attains godhood, the heavens and earth are moved and bestow blessings. I never expected that I would witness the birth of a sword god."
"I never imagined that Lord Wang of Cangzhou's sword competition was actually to help Sword Saint Dugu achieve the status of a Martial God."
"So, the King of Cangzhou actually fought against a Martial God..."
Many people were terrified, and then silently tried to understand the mysterious energy between heaven and earth.
Some people even gradually approached the location of Li Ming and Dugu Yijian, hoping to make a name for themselves in front of this sword god.
However, they were quickly stopped by someone with good judgment.
Dugu Yijian is not an easy person to get along with. If someone is foolish enough to rush in, they might die with just a glance, or even take their anger out on them.
"From this perspective, Li Ming is someone we absolutely cannot afford to offend. We must also cultivate good relationships with those around him and avoid offending them..."
Many martial artists thought to themselves.
Li Ming helped the Sword God attain enlightenment, and this favor could be said to be even deeper than the bond between father and son or master and disciple.
Sword cultivators, in particular, are generally upright and incorruptible, with a character that seeks revenge for wrongs and repays kindness for kindness.
As Dugu Yijian successfully broke through to the Martial God realm, Li Ming was also quite excited. Witnessing the birth of a Martial God at the Heaven and Earth Realm was also very beneficial to him. He smiled faintly and said:
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on entering the Heaven and Earth Realm and achieving the position of Martial God."
He was genuinely happy that his opponent had successfully broken through to the Martial God realm.
"However, it's basically only a matter of time before I reach that level."
Li Ming thought to himself.
His physique is special, so his cultivation is basically smooth sailing without any obstacles.
In other words, if pushed too far, he would have a 60-70% chance of succeeding in becoming a Martial God right now.
This is because he feels he hasn't fully overcome the human tribulation within the celestial tribulation.
He originally thought this was his tribulation, but it turned out not to be.
This surprised him.
After all, Dugu Yijian is definitely a top-tier existence below the God of War. Looking across the world, there are not many people below the God of War who can guarantee that they will survive this Sword Nine strike.
So, could his tribulation be at the level of a Martial God?
He didn't want to advance so early unless absolutely necessary.
After all, the stronger the foundation for a breakthrough, the greater the benefits.
For example, when Dugu Yijian reached the Martial God Realm, he became a god through the way of the sword, and his combat power at the same level was absolutely top-notch.
Even if someone has just broken through, some veteran martial gods will still be wary of them.
Dugu Yijian was also extremely excited at this moment. After slightly stabilizing his cultivation level, he quickly expressed his gratitude upon hearing Li Ming's congratulations:
"I am very grateful to Fellow Daoist Li. If it weren't for your full effort, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to execute Sword Nine perfectly."
He himself felt a bit scared at that moment.
He also performed exceptionally well in the sword fight just now.
If Li Ming's skill level is insufficient to unleash his potential, he might fail to break through the barrier and perish.
"Hehe, to witness Fellow Daoist Dugu achieve the Martial God title, I suppose I've been fortunate enough to receive some recognition..."
Li Ming smiled and waved his hand, shaking his head slightly.
Dugu Yijian said solemnly:
"Fellow Daoist Li has been kind to me in helping me achieve enlightenment. If you have any needs, please just ask. I will do my best to help you."
“This…” Li Ming’s eyes flickered slightly as he pondered for a moment.
What he actually needs now is nothing more than the essence of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, specifically the essence of Fire and Earth. The essence of Fire is confirmed to be in the Nine Yang Sect, but the Nine Yang Sect is quite powerful. On the surface, it has a Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm in charge, and there might be some old monster in the background.
Although this essence of fire is not a particularly rare treasure, it is extremely scarce and will certainly be of great use to the martial artists of the Nine Yang Sect.
He even suspected that this thing might have already been used.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ming spoke:
“If Fellow Daoist Dugu is so kind, could you please look after my relatives and friends? I killed the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yan Kingdom before, and I am not afraid of the people behind him, but I am afraid that they will force the people around me to do so…”
Upon hearing this, Lone Sword frowned, but seeing the serious expression on Li Ming's face, he didn't say anything more, but sighed softly:
"I have just broken through, so I will stay in your palace for a while. If Fellow Daoist Li needs any help, just call me. I will take good care of you for the next few years."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Dugu."
Upon hearing the other party's promise, Li Ming was overjoyed.
With this sword god in charge, even if the people from the Divine Path Palace came knocking, they probably wouldn't dare to make things difficult for his master and the others.
A few years is enough.
That way he can go to that place without worry.
What Li Ming didn't know was...
After he left.
Xuanjizi became increasingly certain of his guess.
...
The four continents of the Eastern Regions possess an immeasurably vast territory.
Hundreds of millions of mountains stand tall everywhere, and countless rivers and streams meander through this land like dragons and snakes.
Although the desolate continent is not the most powerful region, it is home to numerous kingdoms and has nurtured hundreds of millions of living beings. It also contains many relics, blessed lands, and secret realms left behind by powerful beings!
After all, Martial God Realm experts, though rare, are considered overlords of their respective regions.
However, countless beings have been born in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm.
A martial god at the Heaven and Earth Realm, having mastered a grotto-heaven, is already capable of opening up a secret realm and establishing a superior sect.
But over the course of time, countless of them have disappeared.
Nine hundred and eighty-seven thousand li north of Da Xuan lies a land of rolling mountains, situated within the territory of the Primitive Divine Dynasty.
The mountains here stretch for tens of thousands of miles, containing countless supernatural and magical wonders.
Thousands of years ago, this place was known as the Azure Sky Ancient Domain.
It is the abode of a god-king.
As the world undergoes tremendous changes, this ancient domain has gradually revealed its mysteries in recent days.
Many martial artists found some clues and even some treasures among them.
Rumors are circulating that the successor of the Azure Sky God King is about to be born.
It could even be the legacy of the Azure Emperor.
Upon receiving this news, all the major and minor powers in the Eastern Region dispatched experts to investigate.
However, the Azure Sky Ancient Domain is a place teeming with demonic beasts, and is also filled with many traps and restrictions, making it extremely dangerous.
Therefore, it is very risky to go alone, and even independent martial artists usually come here in groups.
This was a month after the sword duel.
After all, the journey is too long, and even if Li Ming travels at his current speed at all times, it will still take some time.
not to mention.
He was also unfamiliar with the route, and although he had a map, it was still quite troublesome.
Finding someone to guide him was too much trouble, so he simply boarded the Yuntian Chamber of Commerce's spirit boat.
As a well-known merchant guild in the desolate continent, Yuntian Chamber of Commerce has branches in various countries and has a wide range of businesses.
They also do aviation business, of course.
The spirit boat that Li Ming was riding in wasn't a large flying boat, but it wasn't small either. It was about fifty feet long from end to end and more than ten feet high. It had four floors and carried at least several hundred passengers, as well as some managers and servants from the merchant guild.
Among them, the top three Martial Saint level experts spent a lot of Yuan Crystals as tickets and stayed in the cabins, enjoying the services.
Ordinary martial artists below the level of Martial Saint could only rest on the deck.
First, they are reluctant to spend a large amount of money to pay.
Secondly, there's no way to get in touch with them.
To explain why we should take a flying boat...
The cultivation world is strictly hierarchical; the strong cannot be insulted, and the weak have no human rights whatsoever.
Without cultivation or a powerful background, one is basically at the mercy of others.
Trying to save money by hiking there could lead to being ambushed and killed halfway there.
There is still a basic level of security on this chamber of commerce's hearse.
At least you won't have to worry about being killed by the people on the ship when you're sleeping.
Of course, what if something unexpected happens?
The chamber of commerce can completely ignore it.
"We are approaching the Azure Sky Ancient Domain. Please be careful, as the Chamber of Commerce does not provide any security guarantees."
On the deck, a tall man dressed in black spoke loudly.
Upon hearing the man's reminder, many martial artists on the deck nodded hurriedly. Since it concerned their lives, no one dared to be careless.
They all prayed that nothing unexpected would happen.
They were all rogue martial artists, lacking both outstanding talent and good martial arts techniques.
They mostly practiced some common, outdated cultivation techniques. They lacked complete techniques, good elixirs, and good weapons, but if they wanted to stand out from the crowd, they had no choice but to risk venturing into dangerous places.
In reality, they were just cannon fodder sent out by major sects.
Throughout history, martial arts have existed for thousands of years, and countless treasures have been buried.
The places where these things are buried are often fraught with traps and pose considerable risks.
Major sects that have mastered elixirs and cultivation techniques can obtain clues to these treasures by paying only a negligible price.
Even if a rogue martial artist does acquire something good, it's usually bought up at a "high price" immediately.
Of course, there are also some extremely lucky and intelligent martial artists who not only have fortuitous encounters in some ruins, but also manage to keep it a secret.
After that, he cultivated himself into a Celestial Being and even a Martial God, and founded his own sect.
This is how many small and medium-sized sects in the Eastern Region, and even in other regions, came about.
These deeds have inspired countless martial artists across the world.
